Guys and gals. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
A
There you go. There you go. That sounds better.
B
Guys and gals, Guys and girls.
A
No, I like ladies and gentlemen, but yes, other than that, it was a knockout.
B
Welcome back, all humans listening to this podcast, all species.
A
So this is a part two. If you miss part one, you'll go back and we are answering a ton of. This is just a light episode this week. We've come off of some really heavy, heavy topics, specifically happy topics. And you guys have really liked it. I. I've loved it too. The feedback has been astronomical. They've been really episodes.
B
Yeah. Guys, thanks for sharing it. Like, there's so many people on Instagram that keep sharing the. The podcast and sharing what you love about it. It really means a lot.
A
Thank you so much for listening. Thank you for sharing with friends and family. It means more to us than you know.
B
Yeah. And we can, we will deliver, like, super hot topics, like, we're going to talk about today. Things that are gonna like mermaids having.
A
Birth and stuff, like in part one. Yeah.
B
A million people listening to the ramblings of the redhead and Mike and you. Yeah, well, they're not rambling.
A
Well, we can ramble. We can do whatever we want here. That's the beautiful thing of the podcast.
B
We have the microphone. Yeah. Okay, let's go right in. Okay. So, yeah, what we've been doing is just got a bunch of random questions. I bet. I went on the Googs and it showed me a bunch of weird, funny, crazy things. And we're just kind of asking questions back and forth. And the truth is, is we literally do not know what questions we're asking each other. So it's a little ad lib and a little fun. And you want to start?
A
Sure, I've got one. This is a very practical question, so I like it. What's the first thing you wash in the shower?
B
I had that in my list to ask you.
A
Really? Yes. Did you?
B
Well, the first thing I walk in head first. Right. And you got to get your head wet.
A
Oh, like you put your head.
B
Put my head in first. I lean in the back of my head and I go in.
A
Interesting.
B
I. I wash my hair first and then I wash my body.
A
You know what? Samesies. Because the way I even do it before I do my face down. Yeah, you think about all the crap that's on your head. I wash my hair first. Then I do wash then body hair first, top down.
B
And then I put a little conditioner in at the very end.
A
Well, see, that's how I do. And I do a shampoo and I do a hair mask. So I wash my hair first. And that way I put that hair mask in because it's got to sit for 10 minutes. So I sit that hair mask in while I'm doing my face and shaving and washing my body.
B
It's practical.
A
Yeah, I don't.
B
Like, I have in the time right now sea. Which is awful. It's all that. It's. I don't know if anyone suffers from it. It's. It sucks. It's like you have like, ultra dandruff. So I use this, like, Neutrogena stuff that, like, helps it a lot. So I have to keep that in there for like, five minutes as well.
A
Is it helping?
B
Yeah, big time.
A
Do you want me to check and make sure it is?
B
Yeah. I want you to dig into my hair and then complain about how I have stuff that I can't control. It's not my fault when God made me.
A
It's true, though. I'll be like, honey, your hair is real bad right now. He's like, I can't stop. I can't.
B
No, no, I'm glad you tell me, because I do.
A
Because I don't want you to look dirty. You're like the most clean person ever. Sometimes you shower twice. Once or twice. You shower every day. Well, I don't even shower every day, to be honest. So you're way cleaner than I am.
B
But it's not. It's. Well, this part of it is because of that. And the other thing is it's only in. No, it's. I don't.
A
I don't.
B
It's not like I have dandruff because it's the. It's. This time of the year, particularly. It comes in the fall. It's where it goes on flow full blast. And Berkeley has it, too. I can tell already. She has. Because you'll get to a little. Little like I didn't see it. Or her skin. She's more. More susceptible on her scalp.
A
Like, I have Huh. I haven't seen anything like that in Berkeley's hair. And I brush her hair every day. She's never had dandruff.
B
Dandruff. It's just little.
A
Yeah, she doesn't have dandruff because I have to use a comb to do her little braids and stuff.
B
It doesn't start. Yeah. No. And it's in it? I think so. I think her skin's more like my skin.
A
I mean, you can think that, but she definitely doesn't have dandruff. I brush it every day.
B
Okay.
A
You're it. You're the only one.
B
I am the only one in my entire family.
A
You're it.
B
Except for my side of the family.
A
Yeah. Man, that stinks. I couldn't stand. I don't suffer from that very much with the dandruff, but when I do, it drives me frozen freaking nuts. Usually after, like, I have a sunburn.
B
You know what? You know what I learned about this, though? We're completely in sync on shower techniques. That's a win.
A
What that is.
B
You know what those are then? That's something we never even talked about. We had a whole relationship thing about communicating beforehand. And, yeah, we never had a. I feel closer.
A
I feel closer. You know, I. I've. I one time witnessed you bending over and cleaning your butt in the shower when I was doing something, and I realized that I don't want to ask questions. You know, I got to see it all right there. It's really not a mystery anymore to me.
B
Little tmi.
A
It's true, though.
B
I mean, everyone should be cleaning their butt.
A
Everyone should. Yeah.
B
Maybe it's not. You don't want to, like, watch people clean their butt.
A
Yeah, well, I didn't, and I should be. I stepped into it accidentally.
B
But you should be cleaning your butt.
A
But I know you don't care. You're, like, so open. I'm the prude that's like, I want a pony wall because I don't want Mike staring at me. I'm showering you.
B
It's not like I'm like, hey, world, watch this. That's not what. That's not me. I'm a little conservative that way. But.
A
But with me, you're totally just walking around naked. I'm not like.
B
But if you're not cr. Cleaning your butt, you're doing something wrong. Also, I want to say this right here. If you haven't cleaned your butt, probably should be clean.
A
Like, everyone knows that.
B
Not everyone maybe are like, you shouldn't touch your butt.
A
Who says that? Who says you shouldn't wash your butt?
B
I don't know. Maybe they just think the water trickles through it. But maybe, you know, maybe people have the. Do not the duvet.
A
Duvet cover, honey, that's a comforter.
B
No, what's the bidet? If you have a duvet cover, you are completely fine. But people swear by bidets because it's. I mean like that's probably the best way to get clean.
A
Honestly. No, I think a good scrub is the best way.
B
I think washcloth hand, I think like pressure washer, bidet would be the best way.
A
Then you're clean, but also like traumatized.
B
It's like going through a drive through car wash. Just visualize that I am in a crack. You launch up to the ceiling.
A
That's awful. That's awful. No, I don't think that. I don't think we should do that. My tummy's growling. Hold on. Should I let them listen to what my stomach sounds like when it does that weird thing? That might be fun. Hold on. Let's do it. Let me move them.
B
You guys want to hear how Jen's stomach sounds to me all the time? It talks. Oh, no way.
A
Gross.
B
It sounds fake.
A
I went to the doctor one time when I was younger. My mom and I, because we legitimate thought, legitimately thought I had like a hole in my stomach. But it just does that from time to time. And when I breathe, like expand my lungs, that's when you get that growl.
B
Used to be able to push it and make that sound sometimes.
A
Yeah, you can. Hold on. Let me get. Let me see if I can get.
B
A better one, Jen. Okay. Oh, it doesn't.
A
It'll go away if I press on it.
B
To your defense, it doesn't. The mic was right up on it. So that's not how it sounds like. It's not like it's echoing through.
A
It sounds like it's growling.
B
Yeah, it just sounds like it's tummy growl.
A
Yeah. Anyways, that was fun. Okay, next question.
B
What do you think the first person to milk a cow was actually trying to do?
A
See what comes out.
B
They're like, hey, look at this. Utter here.
A
Gross. It's like kind of weird.
B
Let me see what's up. We just check this thing out here. Like who?
A
I'm sure they assumed it made something.
B
Yeah, but who? Somebody at one point was like, okay, we drink milk from our moms. This baby cow is drinking milk from its mom. I'm gonna drink this milk from another species. Like somebody was the first to be like, I'm gonna try this. I'm gonna taste this.
A
I don't know. I think this is like just a really uneventful question. Like, there's. Seeing what comes out of it.
B
Would you. Would you randomly, like, if you were a survival and you, like, saw a random creature out there, say, you know what? I'm gonna drink its milk.
A
Would you say it again? What?
B
Like, would you. Would you. Would you drink a possum's milk?
A
No. Possums are hideous. I don't want anything about that. And they carry toxins and diseases.
B
Yeah, but somebody didn't. I mean, somebody did that with a cow and a goat.
A
You're right. But that's back in the day where they're trying to. They don't know anything, so they're trying to figure it out. It's just different.
B
Yeah, but what if you're on an island with only possums and the possums were thriving?
A
Well, are they telling us that they're thriving? What are the signs?
B
You just can tell. It's Possum Island. It's Possum Kingdom. It's a lake. There's a lake called Possum Kingdom.
A
Okay. I mean, yes, if I was starving and we had to figure it out, I would try to milk the species.
B
How would you milk. How would. How would you go about milking a possum?
A
Well, there's no udders, so I wouldn't milk it. I'd probably kill it. No, they don't.
B
They got little teeth.
A
Pregnant.
B
It's a mammal.
A
So you want me to nurse a pregnant possum? That's what you're asking?
B
I mean, would you drink. Would you drink possum milk?
A
If I had to, I would try it.
B
Interesting. I'd like. I'd like to know if that's possible. I mean, everything possible.
A
To milk a possum. Can we please move on?
B
So, weird question.
A
Okay, this is a really, really random one. I lost it on my page, but I remember what it was.
B
Okay.
A
What is the worst slogan for a wart removing cream company? Cream A cream or just even if it's not cream. Whatever. Worst slogan for a wart cream removal company.
B
Apply, remove, consume.
A
Ew. Ew. That's disgusting. Why would they call it that?
B
Three step process.
A
Okay.
B
Apply, remove, consume.
A
Delicious wart removal.
B
Ooh, Cherry flavored wart remove cream. You don't.
A
You don't have warts, do you?
B
Vanilla. Never.
A
No, I haven't either. Interesting.
B
Planters. Warts. Yeah, you could have vanilla Flavor. Cherry scented.
A
We're moving on.
B
You could have all these, like, ooh, vanilla cream. You could have a pumpkin spice. It's Halloween season. Pumpkin spice removal cream.
A
Okay, gross. Next question.
B
All right. Oh, it's my turn.
A
It's your turn. Okay, I have another question. If you don't have one, I'm gonna.
B
This is general one. Let me see if you can get. This is on the spot. See if you can. What's the most amusing thing you've recently seen? Something that just tickled your gut. Is that a thing? Gut tickle.
A
Gut tickle.
B
I had a gut tickle the other night.
A
What was it?
B
My pain. Like, I had my stomach virus.
A
We have all been recovering from a stomach bug, and it, like, made its way through our family members one by one, slowly but surely. Luckily, it was pretty mild. Mike's the only one who acted like he was dying.
B
It was awful.
A
Oh. But other than Mike, it was very mild and easy to navigate because it only lasted for, like, 24 hours. Watch me now. Get it. And it's, like, horrible because now I get to eat all my making fun of you. It was.
B
It was cramps. I believe you give me empathy.
A
I didn't complain. One time I let you stay in bed. Do your thing.
B
Like, it was in my stomach. And I know menstrual cramps are a little bit lower, but good Lord. It was like. It was like.
A
How do you know if it's like, cramps?
B
Because it was, like, constant cramp is what it was, but it was in my stomach. It was awful. All right, what was. What tickled you recently?
A
Oh, gosh, I don't know. I'm trying to think of, like, a funny movie I've seen recently.
B
A real. You're. You're giggling over something the other day that I was like, what are you laughing at?
A
Oh, probably just someone who makes funny videos on Instagram. Oh. It was like a reel about. I can't remember her name to give her credit because I don't follow her, but it was just a random one I stumbled upon. And it was like someone in a Halloween store. And I can't even remember the song that was paired with it, but it's an Instagram reel. And it was all, like, 1990s dress up clothes. So it's like, she's old, and she was, like, making a huge face, and I'm like, oh, my gosh. This is, like, stuff from our childhood. And now it's. People can dress like that for Halloween. Like, how offensive.
B
So we're old I remember when I was a kid dressing with bell bottoms in 1970s and you know, the disco era, that was like, it was like funny to do that. And now it's where the ones that kids are making fun of 100%. But the weird thing is just what people are wearing. At my nephew's wedding, like everyone was wearing stuff I went to high school in. Yeah.
A
Because it's cycled back.
B
I know.
A
It's fashion cycling through. It's been 30 years.
B
Big sweatshirts, baggy pants. Again, it's all coming around.
A
Oh, it all comes back. It all cycles through. All of it.
B
So the good news, if you have absolutely no fashion sense in 20 to 30 years, we'll be back in style.
A
Just stick with it. Stay committed.
B
Stay committed. Don't change anything. Never sell your clothes. Never. Just. Just keep going up. That was funny. All right. Yeah. All right. Good question. Weird question.
A
This is a good one for you. What do you think would be the worst? Buy one, get one free sale of all time. Get one free. Buy like a colonoscopy. Like that. Buy one, get one free. No.
B
Prostate exam.
A
Yeah, buy one now you can schedule your other one for free. I mean, I guess that wouldn't be because you have to have the prostate one.
B
Yeah, but it's not like something you want to get a free one.
A
No, but you do. But you know what? And you shove. You know they don't do that anymore. You can get it done by blood.
B
I. I know.
A
Isn't that crazy?
B
Psa.
A
I didn't know that.
B
I just learned that you don't really need to stick a finger in the booty anymore. It's not necessarily. However, you had to do that in the military. And it was probably the most humiliating thing that like you when you're to get commissioned, you got to go through this whole big physical. Like it was so even, even at somewhat to West Point and you had. You're technically in the military and then you had to do another physical your senior year.
A
Would I pass the physical?
B
Your bow legs might impact you.
A
I don't have bow legs. I have one that bends in your.
B
Your. Any leg.
A
But you have double the legs and you made it.
B
I have four legs.
A
No, you have. You do it with both of yours. So if you pass, I pass.
B
You would pass. It just was like sometimes people came up with like diabetic or they end up having a heart issue. They didn't do it. You could develop that in four years. And there were people that would go through this, all this, you know, Stuff in the. You know, to. To go into the military. And then their fourth year, they become disqualified. So I didn't pass a flight physical, which frustrated me. I really wanted to be a pilot. That was the one thing I wanted. And I. My eyes were bad now. Pilots can get their eyes fixed now, you know, Just came in. Just was a couple years too soon. Sad for me. I don't know what the point is. Oh, point is, is they had to stick your finger in my butt. And that was.
A
That was the point.
B
That was pointing. It was humiliating. Everyone happened to all. All the guys.
A
Well, I have no empathy because we have pap smears every single year, so I have absolutely no empathy for that.
B
Hap Schmir.
A
Yeah.
B
Who made that?
A
Literally have hands and metal go up our lady parts.
B
You know what it stands for? A pap smear? I don't know either. I'm just wondering where that word came from. Is that somebody's name?
A
I was gonna think of something. No, it's like.
B
It's a papillary.
A
It stands for something.
B
To me, like with that word smell, it sounds like schmear. It smell sounds like bagel. Like. Like taking. Taking. I know, like cream cheese. And smearing it on a bagel.
A
You're smearing the insides to make sure everything's good so they can smear.
B
They go in there with like a. Like a butter knife and like scoop out pretty much stuff. And then they smear it on a.
A
Pretty much. It's a big old Q tip. And they rub the insides pretty gross.
B
Delicious.
A
And they. The worst is the clamps that are metal that they have to crank.
B
Buy one, get one free.
A
But we'd like that because we have to get those. And those are expensive doctor visits, I think.
B
Anything, anything like medical. Buy one, get one free. Although there's some things electively you might want. But I don't know. Yeah, again, I don't think it's not something you're actively going in as a promotion. I mean, look, you know, maybe a pumpkin spice work cream removal.
A
Yeah, it's pretty bad. If any of you are in the market for a new zit patch. I have been using Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch for well over a year. And it is, dare I say, life changing. It's pretty dang cool. Because if you're someone like me who likes instant gratification, this patch is also for you. It is a hydrocolloid patch. So what that means is that it's a medical grade gel that gently absorbs and traps all the gunk for me, the biggest noticeable difference is after one night of sleeping in that patch, you wake up in the morning and your zit is much flatter and less inflamed. So you can go about your day, put some makeup on, and it's barely even there. Barely noticeable, I'm telling you. Especially if they're big whiteheads. I've also used it on cystic acne, and it works with that as well. They are giving you guys 20 off, so if you visit herocosmetics.com and use code REDHEAD, you'll get 20 off site wide, excluding bundles. And this is for new and existing customers. So even if you bought with them before, you can still use this Code Redhead to get your 20 off today. Again, that is Hero cosmetics dot com. Code redhead. I promise you, you will not regret trying these zip patches. Go for the 72 account, I swear. Especially if your husband likes them, because Mike steals mine constantly and they go really fast.
B
Foreign. If you could choose to be one animated character, what would it be?
A
What?
B
If you had to be an animated character, who would you be?
A
It'd be cool to have an animated version of myself.
B
So you just want to be you in anime form? Yeah.
A
That'd be really cool, right? Like to see yourself as a cartoon. I think it'd be kind of fun.
B
Mean, it'd be interesting.
A
I think it'd be fun.
B
I've seen Uncle Gary animated.
A
Uncle Gary. Oh, my. Yes. Was it Uncle Gary the hamster collector Gary? Yeah. So someone drew me with because I used to say I look like an old man who sells hamsters out of a basement or a weird.
B
It was with your word glasses.
A
Yeah. And they drew a picture. It says Uncle Gary because I called myself that. Now we have a dog named Gary. That's hilarious. Yeah. I don't know. Is that. It's kind of narcissistic, isn't it? But I feel like it'd be kind of cool to see who wouldn't want to be like, yeah, draw me as a cartoon character and make a TV show.
B
So you want our lives to be in cartoon form? That's the next evolution of the Todricks.
A
No, you said me. No, I don't want our. I do not want our family. I don't.
B
It's like the Simpsons. The Todricks.
A
No. Absolutely not.
B
Okay. No. Then what. What existing character? Oh, you have to be like. Like a Disney character or a Nickelodeon character.
A
So you're saying, like, basically, who do I relate to?
B
Yeah. If you could choose to be any animated character who Would it be, oh.
A
Like, live their life like, their storyline. I mean, Jasmine had a cool storyline, right? Living in, like, that castle. She had a pet tiger. Aladdin's super cute, and she can fly on a carpet. I'm gonna go Jasmine all day long.
B
Yeah. And they have a genie.
A
Yes.
B
It's kind of. That's sort of a hack on that everything.
A
Dark hair, tan. I mean, yeah, I'll take her.
B
You're gonna take Jasmine?
A
I'm gonna be Jasmine.
B
Cool.
A
I gotta sneeze again.
B
Okay. I don't. I'm probably just gonna roll up with, like, he man or Voltron.
A
No, be Aladdin so we can be together. Wow. I'm offended.
B
I meant Aladdin.
A
I am hurt. Come on, babe.
B
Okay.
A
To be with you, a homeless man.
B
It's a whole new world. You can. You guys, never mind.
A
Don't be Aladdin.
B
What a good song, by the way. Fun fact about that song.
A
We've talked about this. Mike made out for the first time during an Aladdin film.
B
It was definitely a makeout sesh.
A
And I grew up, like, as a little toddler.
B
Like, 12 years of separation. It. The whole new world had a whole new meaning to me. As opposed to Jen. So, no. Okay. Yes. Aladdin. That's OG. That's. That's ba. It is cool. But also, why not be he man or Spider man or something like that? I mean, their cartoons, that'd be pretty rad.
A
Rad. Okay. Do it.
B
Super dope.
A
You said bruh. You said Brad. You're just in a weird. Thank you today.
B
It's not a funk using all the.
A
The names. Okay. This one, I think, is really interesting. Do you sometimes hear voices in your head? So I want to talk about that. What is that called? Remember, it went, like, viral last year. It was like, do you have the. What's that called? Whenever in your head? It's like, not a conscious. They have a name.
B
Do you hear your own voice?
A
No. You, like, hear your voice talking to yourself. What is that called?
B
Yeah, my thoughts are in my voice.
A
I think mine are, too. What is.
B
I don't know.
A
Voice in your head called Conscience now? Nope. Inner monologue. That's what it is.
B
I. Yeah. I don't hear other people's voices or other things talking. Maybe if you do, you might have to talk to somebody about that.
A
I do. If it's like, oh, when. Like, I can hear the actors talk. Like, if it's a book written by a celebrity or an actor or someone I know or follow, I hear the book in Their voice.
B
Yeah, but you're reading. Yeah, but that's different.
A
You're right, actually.
B
This is relevant. Like, if you're walking around and. And you're hearing some random person telling you to do this or that, that's me.
A
But somebody don't have an inner monologue. Isn't that crazy?
B
What are they weird? No, I absolutely hear.
A
Like, they hear nothing, I guess. I don't know. I don't experience that. It's a rare. A rare percentage. Like a small percentage.
B
You don't hear their own, like. Yeah, my thoughts are definitely in my own voice.
A
Me too.
B
Huh. I didn't know that. But I don't have random.
A
It's kind of weird that it's in our voice, right?
B
Well, whose else voice would it be in?
A
I don't know.
B
It's not like. Like, like, what is it? James Earl Jones?
A
Morgan Freeman.
B
Morgan Freeman. That'd be awesome. I wish my wish my inner voice was Morgan Freeman's. I can't even. I can't even imitate his voice. It's so good. No, it is Morgan Freeman.
A
Okay.
B
Is that close? Morgan Freeman?
A
Nope.
B
Nope, not close. All right, all right. This. This is one for you.
A
Okay.
B
What is the funniest thing you've ever seen in another person's house? And I know you've been in a lot of homes.
A
Oh, that's a good question, considering what I do.
B
What's the funniest thing? Funniest thing or most odd thing?
A
I guess again, I mean, there was a toilet originally from when the house was built with the bidet built in. But that's not really weird because people have bidets by choice.
B
They still have bidets.
A
Yeah, that's the one where I made the. I planted the flowers in the toilet and then used it as lawn decor. And people thought it was real, which is amazing and fan. And I honestly couldn't wish for anything better to happen.
B
She's such a good designer. But her decorating.
A
Could you imagine?
B
I mean, just. It's not that cute.
A
Could you imagine not understanding that that is a joke? Like living life that way, not understanding the humor of things. That is bizarre to me.
B
But you also have dad paying. Humor in a lot of ways. You present things.
A
Flower in a toilet. What?
B
Hey, people do some weird stuff. The TV does. There's some weird stuff on the tv on the Internet.
A
I don't understand. It's like the same to me as, like, someone who's super gullible. They believe everything they hear. It's like people who don't understand when it's a joke or not. Could you imagine living a life like that? Oh, it sounds awful.
B
I've. I've seen a house with a urinal in it and a pole for dancing.
A
Okay, hold on.
B
A family, which I thought was strange.
A
This is totally sidetracked, but I think I want one. I saw someone on Instagram, they put a water fountain in their home and I'm kind of wanting one.
B
Hard pass, babe.
A
Think about it. They drink more water, the kids.
B
Hard pass. But then I think, oh, you mean a water.
A
I thought you meant like, like a wall unit.
B
Okay. A water fountain to me is like a. That's a bubbler. Those are called bubblers, by the way. You would you press it and you drink from it. Water fountain, I guess. Waterfall. I was thinking like a water feature. Like you'd have like.
A
No, like a little metal, ugly, just single water.
B
Cupid was like spitting like, you know, water from his mouth. No.
A
The only thing I think of is will it become messy? Potentially. So where would it go? Over tile. So we don't like buckle the hardwoods, obviously.
B
I think you could theoretically make that look cool and cute, but it would have to be done in a really clever way.
A
But like, I just think more so, like the kids will like it. So they'll drink more water. Because getting them to drink water is a struggle. Right? Because they're just busy and stuff.
B
Our daughter, our four year old daughter gets cups and goes. Fills up her own cup now.
A
But think about it like once a day. Once or twice a day. That's it.
B
She needs more than she's thirsty to.
A
Where if there's a water fountain, they're gonna constantly drink out of it for a while, while it's hot and cool.
B
Or they'd be like, like licking it and then you'd have to sanitize it all the time.
A
But it's just our kids, so.
B
By the way. So that's a Milwaukee thing. I called that a bubbler. So if you're from Milwaukee, that's a very specific Milwaukee saying. Water fountains are known as bubblers. In fact, I never called them water fountains until I was in college. They're just called bubblers. That's what it is.
A
Bubblers. Sounds like a cartoon made up name.
B
It does. But that's. If you're from Milwaukee. Go ahead and go and, you know, comment somewhere.
A
Okay. All that, all that came from inner. Did that all come from Inner Monologue?
B
No. Nobody else. Yeah, Funniest.
A
Oh, gosh, I don't know what I will say is. What I will say is I feel like a lot of us beat ourselves up for, like, having a messy home or like piles everywhere. And I just want to be here to tell you we all have it. I go through a lot of homes. Even when people clean up, they're like, oh, my gosh, it's a mess over here. I'm sorry. And I'm like, you do not need to apologize. But like, I walk homes and everyone's got crap somewhere. It's just part of life. It is what it is. You know, I do walk some homes that are more so than others, where we got stuff in every nook and cranny, but for the most part, just to make you feel better, I promise, not everyone is living in an immaculate model home. They just don't.
B
That's why you call it lived in.
A
It's lived in, it's lived in. And we're all busy.
B
You know, look at our. Our podcast room. We have a bed that I slept in the night when I was sick, and I haven't made it yet. So it's just what happens. Did you hear what I said earlier? I don't know if you. Because you were thinking when I said that you remember the home that had the urinal and the pole?
A
No.
B
You don't remember that home?
A
Oh, the neighbors in the old neighborhood.
B
Yeah.
A
Yes. Now that I think about it. And you know what? I wasn't bothered by the, the pole, the dancing pole, but now I'm like, why didn't I ask more questions? You know, Maybe I was too afraid to ask questions. These people were middle aged, multiple kids.
B
Family, and really good family. Just interesting.
A
They had a, A stripper pole in the middle.
B
Was it.
A
It was their bedroom.
B
Maybe it was an exercise. Maybe it's for exercise, honey.
A
Honey.
B
Maybe it was for exercising, honey. It's a whole thing. It's a whole world.
A
And they were country, but it's a whole work. Husband was country. And it's so funny to me. I don't know. I think it's.
B
It was.
A
Yeah, that was weird. You're right. A urinal and. Yeah, I was right.
B
Look, I was more impressed the fact that he was able to get away with and convince his wife that I'm going to put a urinal in my. My, my bathroom.
A
No, I don't. I think the urinal.
B
Impressive. Away with that.
A
No, it's the pole for me, Mike. It's a pole in front of the bed. That is it for me. The kids are going to have questions One day. That's all I'm saying.
B
I. I had questions. Just didn't ask him. I didn't ask him.
A
I know, but they're showing us a toy. And you're right, Mike. I totally forgot that. And they were proud of it.
B
That's it. All right, your question.
A
Mike's, like, secretly jealous. Dang it.
B
It's an exercise poll. That's all it is.
A
All it is. Okay. I thought, okay, if you could have a superpower, what would it be? I feel like that's something kids ask each other, but I've never actually nailed down one. What would you do? I have mine if you don't have yours.
B
But I mean, like, if you. What? If you had the power.
A
Nope. You can't have unlimited anything you wish. That's not a power.
B
Well, just.
A
I know. It's where you're going. That's what you're gonna say.
B
You're magician.
A
One superpower, one ability wannabe.
B
So the one that, like, already exists or can I create my own?
A
I guess you can create your own.
B
I have the ability to have any superpower I want at the point. I'm adapt. I'm no cheating. I am the adapter. It's whatever superpower I need.
A
I am adapt.
B
A man adapter. So, like, if I need to fly in that moment, I can fly.
A
No, that's cheating.
B
Look, here's the thing.
A
One super.
B
You can't be better than like Superman is og right? He flies. He's strong. He's got laser eyes. He can breathe like, cold. That's the dude. Man.
A
One superpower. I didn't say a person. If you could have one. You're really dancing around this question and making it very long. Pick one superpower.
B
Well, then that is a superpower. He's super one.
A
Okay, I'm gonna do my superpower since we're getting nowhere with Michael.
B
All right? I find I will be.
A
I get annoyed by the long winded round and round and round. Just pick your superpower.
B
Why not Dr. Strange then?
A
I don't know what that is.
B
He's the sorcerer supreme.
A
So you.
B
So he's not do magic. He's not a demonic evil magician. He just dials into the codex of the universe. Universe. Whatever that means.
A
Okay, well, I'm going literal. I'm going literal, and I'm picking one superpower because that's what the question asked of me, and I follow the rules. My superpower would be I always know the correct answer. So I don't want to read people's Minds. Because I feel like this is asking for your feelings to get hurt constantly. And I'm not even like a sensitive person, and I think I would be. So I'm gonna go with. If I think in my head, what's, you know, 17 times 8035. It just shows up in my head a red number. But that's for anything. Like, I can ask someone, like, is this person lying to me right now about him or her never cheating? And it'll pop up yes or no. And I, in any, any kind of situation, I can know the right answer.
B
Whatever form seems like it might be an annoying superpower to other people.
A
Well, I have to. I'd have to choose wisely because I'm.
B
Like, man, she's always right. And that's the thing is it like, you get frustrated with people who are always right, but if you know that you're always right, then like, all right, that's great. I'm going to trust her because she's always right.
A
But yeah, if they know my super, they can lean on me and they.
B
Could be like, but there's people out there. Like, that person always has to be right.
A
Well, I don't have to be right. I am right. See, knowing superpower wouldn't be annoying because it's fact. I think it's only annoying when you think it's not. But if I was like, no, I literally find the answer for you, I think I would be like, heck, yeah, I'm going to make friends with that person. Like, then I have the superpower. If you think about it now they just have to trust me that I'm delivering the correct information. Is that, you know. Yeah, I feel like I'm very trust.
B
There's there going a little tangent. In one of the Deadpool movies, there was a character who is lucky. That was her superpower. And it was clever the way they did it, because she literally was just lucky. So, like, if she fell out of a, like an airplane, she's somehow survive because she was just lucky. That's ridiculous.
A
That's the dumbest thing.
B
It's like, so you're in a gunfight, you're lucky because the gun fails. You know, I mean, it's like, that's a clever superpower. That is a just very lucky.
A
Okay, so last option. Do you want to pick one or no?
B
I already did. I picked. There's a whole bunch of them.
A
All right.
B
I already said I'd be. I'd be the adapter.
A
You cheated. I'm the so the cheater. Man.
B
Cheater thing to do a meter.
A
Pick one. All right, let's wrap it up.
B
Last question. Already? You already did this one. I was gonna talk about a Superman one. All right, in all. In all honesty, what are some of your guilty pleasures that you're willing to admit of? What's a guilty.
A
Guilty pleasure? Sometimes I like trash television.
B
You do? You still love the Bachelor?
A
I used to love the Bachelor. I don't watch it anymore. I haven't a long time. I just got over it for some reason. I love Love is Blind on Netflix. That's what I'm in right now. I watched Teen mom for years, and I started watching Teen mom because I was pregnant with Vaughn, and I wanted to be like, oh, mom things. I'm gonna watch Teen Mom. I've heard about this show. Literally, that's how I got sucked in. And then it's like a train wreck that you can't look away from. Well, I mean, I never admitted that. I've never admitted watching that publicly.
B
But not all train wrecks, are they?
A
No, no. Some evolved to be really great. Like, they have great family dynamics and stuff. And there's some that are still, you know, finding their way.
B
That's right.
A
But they're not teen moms anymore. They're, like, mid 20s, and they're still following mid 20. Mom. Yeah.
B
What happens when they're in their 30s? Just called moms, I guess.
A
They stay on as long as they want to and they're called teen moms because they were teen moms, I guess.
B
Does 19 count as a team?
A
So trash. Yes. So trash. I even seeing. That's trash television. It's kind of mean since there's people on it. You know what I mean? Like, mindless television. Yeah, mindless television. That's a better way to put it.
B
What else?
A
That's my guilty pleasure.
B
You like being rubbed? I don't know if that's guilty. You like your. With your feet. You just slap your feet on me.
A
I do. I. Well, that's not a guilty pleasure. I own that. I love that you rub my feet or tickle my back. That's not weird. A guilty pleasure is, like, something that you don't really want people to know that you do. Like, I just admitted I watched Teen mom, like, a lot of seasons. Not all of them, but a lot of them. Okay, what's your guilty pleasure?
B
Video games.
A
So I feel like some of them. You don't like Call of Duty? You're like, yeah, I play Call of Duty. Are you saying, like, other games that you like don't really want to.
B
It's probably the only game I really play right now.
A
I know. So you're saying the other. But you do play other games. So the nerdier ones is like a guilty pleasure because you don't want to be like, yeah, I play Hades or I play.
B
It's one of those weird things. Most guys, I'd say the vast majority, it probably more than 50% of men my age still play video games.
A
So it is a guilty pleasure though, because when I talk to you about it, like Jen, it's not embarrassing. Like everyone my age plays it. But it's like now you're saying it's a guilty pleasure.
B
But you gotta like, you kind of get to like feel out your bros on this one. Because if you don't, they don't game. You're like super nerd. If they're like not gamers. You don't like lead.
A
No. How about be yourself?
B
I know you still. You kind of feel it out. You still got to feel it out. You got to throw it out there. Like, yeah, I got my kid this Call of Duty game. Oh yeah, I love that game. Me too, bro. But I would say brewing so much.
A
You don't understand it either. But I'm just not commenting on it and I'm moving on. I would say I played the Sims computer game.
B
You're mini knit.
A
I've made it multiple times. I know, but. So I played it. I go in little spurts while I'll play it for like two weeks. I haven't played in a long time. Probably over a year by now. But it's been about here. It's been about a year.
B
It was at this house.
A
I remember it was at this house. But it was before I was filming. So anyways, I'll go in spurts where I'm like, oh my gosh, I need a freaking hobby. So I'm not working at night or like, because I'm always. I love doing what I do. And so if Mike is wanting to do his own thing for a night and play video games or watch a show that I'm not interested in, I'll work because I like doing it.
B
So I'm like, what?
A
I say?
B
You said exercising.
A
Exercising.
B
You said interested in it, but you said it really?
A
Oh, I don't know. Interested in. Then I'm like, okay, I need to do something mindless. So I was like every once in a while, put on the Sims computer game. And then within like a week I'm like, why the heck Am I doing this stuff? By this time, I've made four children. Everyone's crying, someone needs a shower. It's like my real life in a computer game, and I'm stressed and I shut the laptop and I go another year without doing it because why the heck would I do that to myself?
B
And you're designing homes during it, too.
A
That's. That's why I do it. I like to decorate the homes in there.
B
But all the way.
A
Have.
B
Can I. Can I tell them your guilty pleasure of how you actually play that game? What your hack is Mortimer?
A
No. So this is. I will explain it because you make it sound bad.
B
It is bad. It's awful.
A
It is, but it's an awful. So I started playing Sims when I was in the sixth. Sixth grade. I have vivid memories of me and my friend playing it. And I learned really quick. There's this OG family called the Goth family. If you've played Sims, you know, and it's Mortimer and Bella Goth. They're married. He's an old dude, she's a young guy. And now I look at that and I'm like, seriously, a young lady. And so I learned really quick, in order. You start off with, like, no money and you can't afford anything. And so I learned really quick that if I can go to Mortimer's house, make him fall in love with my Simon, I can move in, kick the wife out. And then now I have all of his funds and I can redesign the house however I want. And that was my goal. That was my tactic. Mary Mortimer. Hashtag Mary Mortimer.
B
So I want. I don't know. She was playing in bed one time and I was. And she had the laptop on her lap and I was watching her, and it's like. It's kind of funny. And I was like, what's going on here? And she's like, oh, I'm just, you know, flirting with this guy here. I'm like, okay. She moved into the home of the Goths with the wife still there.
A
Yeah, it's fine. You can stay. I just. I need to redecorate the house. I can't redecorate.
B
Then. But then you. Then you. You got married to him.
A
Yeah.
B
And he divorced her and she was still living there. And then you kicked her. Him out. And wasn't she still there?
A
Here's the deal. Here's the deal.
B
Wife was still there.
A
Here's the deal. I'm not a cheater. And what's nuts is you can type in codes. It's called rosebud. Back in the day, if you typed in the code Rosebud, it would give you a thousand simoleons. So in theory, I could just type rosebud all day long and get all this money. But I don't want to do that because that ticks me off. It's too easy. Right. So I cheated in a different way, which is go after the person who has the most money in the neighborhood, and then I can decorate a home the way I want to rather than putting sheet codes. So I do have standards. So I do have ethics.
B
Which is interesting. Is. Yeah, but you. But you're morally flexible in that game. You have flexible morals. I'm moral, but I don't cheat in real life. Jen is black. And Jen is by far one of the most morally strong human beings I know. You really are. You have strong moral compass. You, you know right and wrong. You keep like. You're very honest and. And the truth is what. Who you are is who you are. But in that game, well, it's not really me.
A
My. I'm like Ginger Sim.
B
You know, what if we are just a sim?
A
Okay, now we're getting way too deep.
B
Think about this. What if some. What if. I think we're good, Somebody else is. What if we're literally in a simulation right now? There's. By the way, if you think about.
A
It, God is kind of like that, but he gives us free will.
B
There is a whole theory called simulation theory.
A
No, I'm not getting into this.
B
You guys want to go down a rabbit hole? No, go ahead and Google simulation theory. It is you. It kind of gets you twisted up a little bit because there could be some truth in it.
A
Okay, last question. Have you ever. Have you ever pretended to be sick when you're perfectly healthy?
B
Of course. As a kid? Every kid's done that.
A
What? Where were you working?
B
I was a kid. I was in grade school. Absolutely. I remember one time there's a video game that came out and I wanted to play. Yeah, it was.
A
I know where this is going.
B
I mean, remember it was a grade school. I got my Nintendo. Must have been around Vaughn's age, maybe a year older. And Castlevania. That was the game. Castlevania. My. My friend John Hessling, it told. I can't say his last name.
A
Why?
B
I don't know. Because he might. Well, maybe he's listening. I remember our friend John said he was gonna beat the game. And I. And I wanted to stay home and beat the game before him, so I stayed home and I pretended I was sick. And then my mom didn't let me play video games when I was home. Miserable.
A
For sale. Good. I was good for freaking.
B
I know.
A
How dare you.
B
I realized like, this is untruthful. This was awful. And I stayed home and I was really frustrated and yeah, I didn't get to play video games. My whole.
A
I'm sick was for fake and I.
B
And it was. My whole day was ruined. It was awful.
A
Well, I have a memory in college. Hate to say it, but I never. I only have one memory of doing this because I really didn't do it often and I don't remember why I was calling in sick. I don't even think I had a reason. I think it's just I had a full time job as a sophomore in college, like at a JCPenney. I was the merchandising manager over the whole store. So I was really young to like have that role.
B
Yep.
A
Worked full time. And I think it was just like, I'm a college kid. Like, I just want a day. And so I went in with absolutely no makeup on and they were like, oh my gosh, you look like a red side of a barn or what the back side of a barn or whatever that thing is. I was like, oh yeah, I'm not feeling too hot. When an honest fear. In all actuality, I used to have makeup on. That's how bad I look. Like so different with my blonde eyebrows and eyelashes. If you have blonde facial hair, you know what I'm talking about. We look wildly different.
B
It is.
A
And everyone thought I was sick and I wasn't. That was just me as an actual human. I just wear makeup all the time.
B
But blonde eyebrows are in now.
A
They are, but I'm still not.
B
The no eyebrow look is now in. So congratulations to all you eyebrowless people. I don't think there's no way that they would have said just because the way you look naturally.
A
I swear all my life.
B
So they sent you home and you're like, I just didn't wear makeup.
A
They sent me home because I looked sick because I didn't have makeup on my face.
B
Interesting.
A
Crazy, right?
B
I don't send one time.
A
That's the only time I ever did it. I never did that. I was never the employee that faked sick when I wasn't. I just didn't feel like it was right not to like sound like holier than thou, but I like felt that.
B
Way when I was. I can't say my any. Even in high school when I wanted to go to work. I will Say this. I quit a job one time and I actually feel bad about this. I just decided not to come show up and I knew I was quitting and I didn't tell the manager. I know it was bad. That was. I was a lesson learned. I felt guilty about it.
A
Good. You should.
B
I did. That's really a busboy. And I was over the job because I had another job. And then they scheduled rude everyone.
A
So all the waiters and waitresses probably.
B
I think I was 16. And it was a bad. My mom being mad at me and I had to go and I went and apologized to the manager. I actually did.
A
Good.
B
It was bad. It was a lesson. It was. It was all. And, and you know, you know, sue didn't. She was. She's all about work, right?
A
Yeah.
B
But I didn't. But I didn't. But I already got another job and I was like, I just. I don't know. I don't know why I didn't. It was weird.
A
Well, on that note, this episode is done. Next week we will be back for a full on topic episode and be looking for our Monday fun day. We will have a Monday fun Monday. Hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your week. Thank you so much for listening and we will see you next week. Bye guys.

Amid the laughs and stories, the episode offers quiet reassurance: nobody’s life (or home) is picture perfect, “lived in” is the norm, and sometimes, it’s healthy to laugh at life’s little oddities.
