Blue Slide Serenade: Tales from Two Hearts
Honest Laziness, Tech Craziness, and Festive Food Debates!
Ever wondered why honesty about being lazy feels so liberating? We did too, and it inspired us to kick off our latest episode with some candid reflections on procrastination, inspired by Olivia's refreshing openness. Join us as we share quirky tales about family nicknames, our recent leap into homeownership, and the tech wonders that have transformed our cozy new abode, featuring adventures with the Govee lighting system. You'll laugh with us through the trials and triumphs of buying a new washer and dryer, and stick around for heartwarming stories of our lively family gatherings that feel just like old-school kickbacks.
Life has been a whirlwind, with events ranging from photo booths to themed nights, and Marion's experiences at a pediatric office. We're dedicating a chapter to the unsung hero of our home improvement journey: Rick the handyman. His craftsmanship has sparked a newfound appreciation for quality services. Amidst it all, we’ve successfully hosted Havana nights and navigated the intricate dance of family dynamics, with Omar stepping up in the studio to learn responsibility. Our episode is a tapestry of laughter, community bonds, and the ever-evolving joy of shared experiences.
As we wade into holiday territory, expect some spirited debates on Thanksgiving culinary essentials—mashed potatoes versus mac and cheese anyone? And the timeless battle of turkey versus ham! We’ll also serve up our all-time favorite holiday movies, from classics like "The Grinch" to eyebrow-raising picks like "Die Hard." We close with a nod to how these traditions bring comfort and connection during the festive season, along with a sneak peek at future episodes, collaborations, and the delightful chaos that’s sure to come. Peace, love, and laughter await!

groovy well, well, well, it has been a uh, a little too long. Yeah, um, I could make excuses, but you know, 30 minutes, 45 minutes a night to knock out a podcast once a week. I'm I'm sure we can make time, but things have been really busy like olivia says I'm too lazy, yeah, at least she's honest about it. She's so brutally honest like we can ask her a question and and she'll answer.
Speaker 2:Because I'm too lazy yeah and I can't fault her for that no like I can ask if I, if I ask somebody else a question and they can't answer me or won't tell me the truth, right, and just tell me, hey, straight up, because I'm fucking lazy, right, that shit will irritate me, it'll upset me, right? I'm like, hey man, why you gotta, why you gotta, don't lie, just just be honest. You were, you were lazy, you didn't want to. It's okay. You don't have to do what you don't want to do.
Speaker 1:She's our honest one. I'm too lazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hey, welcome back. Podcast Blue Slide Park the Tale of Two Hearts. I don't know what episode we're on. This might be number four or five, but it's been a very long time, so welcome back. Hope everybody's still here. This is your boy, g Gordy B Gordon.
Speaker 1:And Marion, marion. Yeah, you ain't got no nicknames.
Speaker 2:No, are you sure you don't? Yes, I'm sure I know of some nicknames yeah, we don't say that out loud what, hey? Why do you have to go to such a weird place with it? You have other nicknames too weird that's very strange to just like hey, I don't want you to tell my nickname, we don't talk about that.
Speaker 1:I know where you were going.
Speaker 2:You don't know where I'm going.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh.
Speaker 2:I do call all of my ladies in my life booty.
Speaker 1:Yes, you do, booty I don't know why I don.
Speaker 2:Yes, you do Booty. I don't know why. I don't know what it is. It's probably strange to a lot of people to hear me yell out a booty, come here Right now. Like the people like, hey, that's weird man. But for me it's just a term of endearment. And I do it so much with my daughters and with you, I don't even realize it. And I do it so much with my daughters and with you, I don't even realize it and I'll yell out hey, booty. And then three of you will answer huh.
Speaker 1:Sometimes I have to be like are you talking to me?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Which booty? Which booty are you talking to?
Speaker 2:I'm like, well, I'm talking to you on this particular instance. I mean maybe I should just Look it's too much to to you on this particular instance. I mean maybe I should just look.
Speaker 1:It's too much to label you guys booty one through six. Booty one Booty two.
Speaker 2:Come here, booty two. Nobody would know who booty two was, right. No, so booty two is Summer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because she's the oldest girl.
Speaker 2:Booty three is Avery, booty four is Livvy, booty four is Livvy, booty five is Sophie and booty six is Kai, and you're booty one.
Speaker 1:Booty one.
Speaker 2:The main booty.
Speaker 1:That's weird babe.
Speaker 2:It is right. But it's only weird if you think about it in a very negative or sexual or perverted fashion. For me, it's just weird if you think about it in a very negative or sexual or perverted fashion. Right, for me it's just a nickname.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know Whatever. Anyways, yeah, it's been a very long time. We've moved. Yes, we have our own home now. We moved in about five weeks ago.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Five or six, I don't know. It might be going on six, but I think it's more four to five right now. Yeah, so we've basically been here for a month. We have torn this place inside and out. Yeah, everything, I mean everything. We've spent a whole lot of money this home ownership, this living, this. It's an expensive little thing.
Speaker 1:It is.
Speaker 2:It's expensive to be alive.
Speaker 1:But it's ours.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's ours, and you know it's home and it's cozy and comfy and warm and inviting, and you know we have all of our technological features.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:All of our home automation, all of our Google commands and verbals and everything else and automations, pretty fancy, pretty fancy. You know, we got TVs in all the rooms finally. That took a while, we.
Speaker 1:I don't know if that took a while.
Speaker 2:It took longer than I wanted it to take.
Speaker 1:We got the little Govee.
Speaker 2:We got the Govee on the back of the main TV in the living room and the thing is pretty impressive. You know, it's LEDs that wrap all the way around the back of the main TV in the living room and the thing is pretty impressive. You know, it's LEDs that wrap all the way around the back of your TV and it's a. It almost looks like a webcam or something that sits on the top of your TV and it analyzes the picture, the color, and I believe it also has a sound feature. We don't have it turned on because the sound feature was a bit much, but basically it gives you kind of an immersive experience, if you will. It's whatever color is on the TV emits from around the back and the sides of the TV. It's really nice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's nice. We did that. We went and got a washer and dryer and that was a bit of a adventure, if you will. Yeah, ultimately the company took care of us, but there were some hiccups along the way. That wasn't very fun. You know, we had to go to the laundromat a few times, first world problems. Yeah, I know people don't want to. Had to go to the laundromat a few times, first world problems. Yeah, I know people don't want to hear it, but the laundromat sucks. It's cool for the fact that they have huge facilities right the washers, the dryers. They're huge. You can get huge ones. You can knock all your laundry out in like an hour and a half. Yeah, washed, dried, folded, folded, put away everything. You're done. However, with that comes I'm gonna say this.
Speaker 2:I don't, I don't really care. It comes walmart people. You know you go to walmart and you can feel like you're a great success in life and a genetically gifted and everything else. There's a lot of. There's a lot at Walmart and there is a lot at the. There is a lot at the laundromat, so we got all that. Um, we got, uh, string lights laid out all over the back patio in the backyard. Uh, we got flooring done in the back studio. Omar's moved in now. Uh, we still got a couple things on the rear studio that we're doing yeah um, we got all the can lights.
Speaker 2:I guess these are technically not can lights, they're just similar. They're LED pucks or something, I think they call them. Can lights were really huge little things that went up into your ceiling, and these little LED lights are really nice Little fan LEDs. Everything's controlled by Google. Why did we have to controlled?
Speaker 1:by google. Why did we have to get those?
Speaker 2:why did we have to get what these lights? There was? No, there was no lights in this front room. No, like this house was built in 1950 and back then, apparently, there was no need to have lights in your front room.
Speaker 1:I wonder why.
Speaker 2:I'm going to assume that it was a lamp and a torch light kind of scenario back in the days.
Speaker 1:Oh. It's just an older house, yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, it's just older.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:But we got so much stuff in this house fixed, corrected, upgraded, everything's super, super nice. So things are finally starting to settle down. And you know, I have my office in the middle room in there and and that's the office for everything. For me, it's it's my work office during the day, uh, it's my body work studio in the afternoon, evening, and it's uh my little dj studio where we can go in there and just crank out some music on the turntables. That's uh, it's a nice thing. We uh we had a house warming.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:How was the housewarming?
Speaker 1:It was nice.
Speaker 2:What did you think about it?
Speaker 1:It was good it was good, Very informative.
Speaker 2:Everybody on the podcast will know exactly what our housewarming was about, how it went, who came, who attended, how long it lasted everything that happened.
Speaker 1:We did have a couple people come.
Speaker 2:A couple people. It was nice couple people we had.
Speaker 1:It was a small turnout like 15 maybe, but it was so fun, like it was literally like back in the day when you want to have your friends over and have a little kickback yeah, because we had chicken.
Speaker 2:we had vegetable trays, fruit trays, fried fried chicken, chicken wings, what else?
Speaker 1:Pastries.
Speaker 2:Pastries, pastries.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, like cheesecakes and stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 1:I don't know Desserts.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:We still have beer, if anybody wants to come and get some beer.
Speaker 2:Rick is supposed to come get that beer, but he's going to come knock out that rear door.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:This front LED, this panel right here and a couple other things. He's going to be back sometime this week, I think.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And that's another thing. Hey, if anybody needs somebody that can do everything inside and outside of a house, rick is your guy. Yeah, I'm not going to say cheap, because he's not cheap. You get what you pay for, but you do get what you pay for, right? So we got exactly what we wanted. We knew what the price was going to be and we paid the man and it was quality work quality.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's not janky and it's not half-ass or anything like that it's. It's something you can be proud of. It's your home is. You know you want it to last for the next 40 years, or however long it may be but I think he was reasonable super reasonable, especially compared to uh other quotes that we had received that were like two to three times the price. In like either labor or parts, whatever it may be.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It was. It was pretty bad.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It was pretty bad. Um, how about all the stuff that we didn't have when we moved in here? Yeah, I'll name one thing that we still don't have in here. Yeah, I'll name one thing that we still don't have a fly swatter. Yeah, jesus christ man, oh my god, you'd be mad hitting yourself, you'd be beating the living shit out of yourself, and then you'd be giving your partner permission. A if it lands on my face, go ahead and punch me, because the amount of pain that I'm gonna to endure for the moment that I get hit is going to be minor to the annoyance that this little fly is causing me.
Speaker 1:But it's funny how you just miss the little things, I guess.
Speaker 2:Oh, we missed everything. We didn't have glasses, we didn't have silverware, we didn't have toilet paper. I mean, we didn't have anything. No, it was like we were kids moving into your first apartment or first house again, starting all over again? Now, look, yeah, we had a studio that had a little bit of stuff in it bedroom and maybe a couch and a TV but we did not have anything.
Speaker 1:No, nothing. We had to buy beds for the girls.
Speaker 2:Oh man, we had to yeah. We got a triple bunk bed. It has two twins on the bottom and a fool on the top, yeah Right. And then we got another fool that has a trundle twin, all right so for the people that don't know, we have five daughters and a son and a son the son's in our rear studio.
Speaker 2:We have a studio on our property. It has a kitchen, it has a shower, has a bathroom, everything it's. It's a. It's a studio, um, but yeah, the girls have their two rooms. Now I'm sure they all would like to have their own individual rooms, but last time I checked, sixroom houses were not cheap.
Speaker 1:But not only that. I mean we have to think too right, like we want to be. We love this house right, want to be here for a long time. Our girls are going to grow up have their own families and you know. Yeah, yeah, and Omar's not going to be in that studio forever, and so one of the girls may move into it eventually. Yeah, like for omar, we're just helping him get a head start.
Speaker 2:Well, it's helping him experience life on his own. You know bills, responsibility, stuff like that which he already is. He's already a responsible kid, he's already. He has a job. He. He rides a bicycle I don't know know how many miles to work and back. He works a night shift. He has to ride this bike over to the courthouse from Panama at one point in time, all the way downtown to go to jury duty. So the kid, he's a good kid, he's responsible. We just got to get him on track a little bit more financially and and societal wise, I guess, and, you know, hopefully get him a house and stuff soon yeah, we'll get there yeah, um, what else do we got we have?
Speaker 2:uh, man, we probably have a ton to talk about and not a ton of time to get it done, so we'll probably just keep it kind of somewhat short and sweet.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But we've had a lot of events, lots of events. We've had photo booth after photo booth after photo booth, wedding after wedding after wedding, comedy show after comedy show, havana night. After Havana night, marion got a new job. She got a job over at a pediatric office. Yeah, so that's going on. We got Havana night coming up next Saturday again.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Our last Havana night was an outdoor event at the 1933 gardens and, uh, it was a Halloween muertos style kind of themed event and it was a nice turnout. It was a nice event, yeah, a lot of work, a lot of costumes, a lot of fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was. It was so much fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was uh, and the weather was perfect. Right now it's getting a little chilly, but the weather that evening was was perfect. It was a perfect night to be out under the stars and, uh, fresh air. Yeah, so it was welcome. But now we're uh, we're headed back inside, yeah because, it is gonna get too cold.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but there comes more events.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we just wrapped up two comedy shows with. Clyde Wrapped those up. This last one was his wife's birthday, his queen's birthday, so he had a whole cast out there and we had an after party. There was an R&B singer, there was comedians, there was the after party. I feel like we lit it up for the after party.
Speaker 1:It was awesome. It was such a great vibe it was, it was perfect.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was nice. It was nice. The weddings have been really good as well lately. Where do we? We had one over at Leaning Oak, yeah yeah, I had one over at leaning oak, then we had one over at nirvana yeah, two two at nirvana, and we have another one at nirvana in a couple more weeks yeah that one's gonna be cold.
Speaker 2:I'm not, uh, you know, if, if you're my, if you're my, uh, if you're my bride and groom, I'm gonna apologize right now, but I'm not looking forward to that one For the coldness, for the coldness, yeah, for the party, for your wedding, for your special day, for everything else. Hey, I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to do everything I can for you guys to make it the best evening possible, but, yeah, it's going to be cold, so I'm probably going to have to.
Speaker 1:Rain or shine.
Speaker 2:Bundle up, make sure I got some warm socks on my feet. Always go frozen for some reason. I wear them thin socks. That's why them little thin inklet socks, because I don't like socks very much.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:But I'm going to have to get some ones that go straight up the leg like OG Cholo style.
Speaker 1:I'm going to show my socks. I'm pretty sure you're going to end up taking them off.
Speaker 2:Taking my socks off and go barefoot in the freezing.
Speaker 1:I don't know, you just don't like.
Speaker 2:I do enjoy being barefoot. I love being barefoot. But, yeah, I don't like socks and I catch a lot of shit. Well, I used to catch a lot of shit on it when I used to wear, uh, the very, very low socks with, like dress, shoes and everything no, but I didn't care yeah, I think.
Speaker 2:I think dress socks are bad for you, to be honest with you, because every time my pops used to pull them off, I see other people pull them off. Their legs are all indented. It's like motherfucker, you know you're cutting circulation off down there somehow. It's not healthy. Yeah, them socks are too tight. Uh, maybe you're too fat or the socks are just too tight yeah whatever, um business updates.
Speaker 2:Let's see, we got into um arches. We actually built our first two wooden backdrop arches. They're both, uh, modular, foldable um built-in stands, hinges, everything else, and it really wasn't that bad of a uh of a project.
Speaker 1:It wasn't, and the turnout looked awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the turnout looked. It looked perfect. You know we were given a picture of something that they wanted to have recreated, or uh, something to look like. And then you know look, I know it's me and I know I'm going to talk ourselves up, ourselves up, and I'm gonna talk my wife up, but I think, arguably her shit looked better than the original picture if you guys want to see it, you can go to busy bee creations or kelly entertainment this girl dropping, just name dropping over here dang it's a car theme yeah, follow us at at kelly entertainment group.
Speaker 2:Follow us at busy bee creations. Follow us at dj gordy b. Follow us at angel face. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Number, number, number, number makes no sense. Follow us at gordon baldridge hey, let's talk about that about what? My username is angel face yeah, I don't know who lied to you I created it.
Speaker 1:I created it when I was like what I don't know, maybe 16 you've been on instagram since you were 16, remember?
Speaker 2:that's a goddamn lie. It can't be. Huh yeah, you're lying. If I google when instagram was founded and I find out it wasn't founded until you were a fucking adult and you named yourself Angel Face.
Speaker 1:Hey, my daddy calls me Angel Face.
Speaker 2:Well, I call you Devil Horns.
Speaker 1:No, you do not. You do not. You call me Booty.
Speaker 2:Hey, I I'm just gonna say one thing about this lucifer was also an angel I think you're.
Speaker 1:You got the wrong person what was lucifer?
Speaker 2:not an angel, a fallen angel like duke, got kicked out, pissed his pops off, whatever. That's why I said you got the wrong person?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't, whatever. That's why I said you got the wrong person I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know. That's what they said in the bible that somebody's gonna come deceive you, and I think it might be you they're not funny no, no, I don't even know if it says that oh man, the holidays are here around the corner.
Speaker 1:We got Thanksgiving in a week. In a week, two weeks, I think.
Speaker 2:Two weeks, two weeks Thanksgiving. Huh, you know what? Let's do this. Top three, top three. You go to grandma's house, mom's house, whoever your favorite thanksgiving house was, and you get a plate and you're told that you can only put three items on your plate. Which three items you picking?
Speaker 1:I'm picking. Oh man, that's hard.
Speaker 2:No, mine's easy.
Speaker 1:I'm going to pick mashed potatoes.
Speaker 2:That's a questionable pick. No, you have to have that Over all of the other things. You picked mashed potatoes. You can have those any other day of the year.
Speaker 1:You can have anything any other day.
Speaker 2:No, not really.
Speaker 1:Well, I have to have stuffing.
Speaker 2:I'm with you on stuffing.
Speaker 1:Stuffing.
Speaker 2:Okay, so your number one pick is mashed potatoes and gravy.
Speaker 1:Okay, we'll erase mashed potatoes and gravy. Oh no, Because you said we can have that any time.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I'm going to do green bean casserole and stuffing. All right, green bean casserole, ugh and stuffing, alright.
Speaker 2:And what's your third Turkey?
Speaker 1:Ugh, that's Thanksgiving. You can't knock up turkey for Thanksgiving. I'll tell you what Thanksgiving is.
Speaker 2:Thanksgiving is ham.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:They didn't have ham at the.
Speaker 2:Yes, they did. You don't think they had pigs. You don't think pilgrims ate pigs? I'm sure they did, but they didn't have that. They ate wild boars and pigs and all kinds of game. They had it.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 2:I'll tell you what. They didn't have Mashed potatoes. That shit didn't exist back then.
Speaker 1:Yes, I'm sure they did have papas.
Speaker 2:No, I think they ate them like apples. No, they ate potatoes like apples.
Speaker 1:That's nasty.
Speaker 2:That dirty taste, that dirt, grimy taste. Hey, I used to like raw potatoes.
Speaker 1:But who picked that out of the ground and said let's cook this shit.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna eat.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I'm gonna take a bite out of this.
Speaker 2:Well, look, I mean, a lot of things come out of the ground Carrots and celery and all kinds of shit, right? But arguably, yeah, potatoes are deep under the ground, they don't grow on top of the ground, they're dirt, right, yeah. But anyways, back to my choices. Ham, don't interrupt me anymore, ham Stuff. Ham, don't interrupt me anymore. Ham stuffing, mac and cheese. Ugh, Ugh, what Mac and cheese? Hey, those are the three number ones.
Speaker 1:You can have that any time of the year.
Speaker 2:Anybody's going to pick that?
Speaker 1:You can have mac and cheese any time of the year.
Speaker 2:The majority of America and whoever else listens to this just awesome podcast is going to agree with g. But look, I'll give you one thing on the turkey if they cook the turkey correctly yeah if it's, if it's deep pitted, if it's fried, if it's juicy as hell, cool. But if it's your mom's or my mom's or anybody else's turkey, that's dry as hell. I don't want that shit.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:And plus, if it has that tripitin in it or whatever, make you go to sleep.
Speaker 1:That's the best part.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:It's like nice little nap.
Speaker 2:Now here I'm going to ask you something. Ask me, baby, something, ask me baby, do any of your family members go on the quote-unquote thanksgiving walk before they come back to the house and eat?
Speaker 1:no, I've never heard of that you don't know the thanksgiving walk like we used to go for a run no, you go, smoke weed oh no, I've never heard of that yeah, because you get the munchies right.
Speaker 2:So you so you leave, you go smoke and then you come back and you destroy the table.
Speaker 1:No, I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2:I'm trying it this year.
Speaker 1:I don't know, we're not a drug family.
Speaker 2:What, what the fuck? Just because I'm going to try it this year means I came from a drug family.
Speaker 1:No, I'm just saying what am I in the cartels now Fucking Guero Coleros?
Speaker 2:No, I like I said like De Sinaloa Guero Colero de Sinaloa.
Speaker 1:Babe, you don't even know what that is.

Speaker 1:It's translated correctly.
Speaker 2:yes, oh, so I did translate, so I do know what the fuck I'm saying in Spanish.
Speaker 1:It's translated correctly, but that's not really what it means. I don't care, that's fuck. I'm saying in Spanish. It's translated correctly, but that's not really what it means, I don't care.

Speaker 2:Spanish is a very, very, very Next to English. I Next to English. I mean English is probably the number one bastardized language in the world. That makes no fucking sense. Spanish is number two and I'm going to tell you I think we've already talked about this on this podcast it's the fact that you guys talk about something and then describe it afterwards words like if I'm gonna file a police report and I'm gonna say that a car hit me, I am going to tell the police officer it was a red car. Now, caro rojo the fuck it doesn't sound.
Speaker 2:I'm not gonna go to the police and say, hey, a car red hit me. That that doesn't make no sense.
Speaker 1:It's Spanish. It doesn't make sense in Spanish If you say rojo carro.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it does. No, it doesn't. That's correct. I'm bringing it. I'm bringing it. No, I am going to get on some. The English language is the hardest language. I'm going to get on me some Rosetta Stones or something. I'm going to start speaking Spanish the correct way and everybody can laugh. I'm tired of all these. Well, it could be this, it could be that.

Speaker 1:um, um, I don't know, we'll see.
Speaker 2:Chicken curry udon Real quick. I was introduced to chicken curry udon in Stockton, california, on March Lane, across from the March Clinic, with Dr Leon Leon Leon Um dude's, 90 years old. I was training him. He's a doctor up there and he was seeing 10, 15 patients a day. Still he went into his office on his lunch, put his sneakers on, walked around the facility around the block. He stayed young, he stayed young. But anyways, he took me over to. I think it was technically a sushi place and I'm not huge on sushi.
Speaker 2:So I was looking around at what else they had and they had some soups or whatever, and chicken curry sounded good to me, kind of hearty, kind of warm, kind of little flavor, little spice, little, everything right. And every time I went to Stockton afterwards I got chicken curry udon. Well, we were sitting here the other night and I was like man, I really wish Bakersfield had a chicken curry udon. So my fat lazy ass gets on Uber Eats as usual, throwing all my money away, and I type in chicken curry udon and a spot pops up. I ordered it and it was banging was good, it was banging do you remember what it was called?
Speaker 2:chicken curry? Udon, no, the place yeah, I know what chicken curry udon is called. What's wrong with you? I just talked about it no well, don't they have some order, history or something on they?

Speaker 1:You have to like curry.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to give people money if they don't like it, because then that's what they're exactly going to do. They're going to go over there, they're going to order. That's what they're exactly they're gonna do. They're gonna go over there, they're gonna order it, or they're gonna claim they ordered it, tasted it, ate it. They're gonna tell me they didn't like it and then they're gonna want like 15 bucks for me to like reimburse them for their, their troubles, when I know their shady asses loved it and they're just they need gas money or something if only, if only.
Speaker 2:It costs 15 dollars yeah, it was like 19 bucks or something.

Speaker 1:He was a homeless dog.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, he was homeless so he wasn't used to being in a confined in a room right Indoors, so that was partly our fault. Probably Should have kept him outdoors or acclimated him better or whatnot. But yeah, he tore up our whole house. Shit everywhere Ran around in the shit, put shit up all on the walls with the paws and everything chewed up, door frame, all kinds of shit. So he had to go and we had a real bad experience. Yeah, but one of marion's co-workers had rottweiler puppies. Well, her dog had rottweiler puppies. What's your name, alessandra?
Speaker 2:lissandra yeah lissandra yeah, hey lissandra, I'm sorry girl, I'm not accusing you of having rottweiler puppies. I know your babies had puppies, so lissandra yeah, she's so sweet.

I don't know if we can tell them, uh, but anyways. Um, we went straight over to ross picked up stuff, for the puppy came home. Don't look at me like I'm crazy, like you don't know what I'm talking about girl, you said raw stories. I was like okay ross, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?

Speaker 1:No, he doesn't.
Speaker 2:He doesn't know it now, but currently it's just an annoyance for him.
Speaker 1:That's why we had to get her. We had to get her for Max.

Speaker 2:I'm lucky. Yeah, you're lucky. You found somebody like me, woman Shit. I'm full of myself. I know what I brings to the table. Christmas is coming up. I don't think it's going to be a huge Christmas, but we now have a very big window in the front of our house that we will have a very grand tree in front of.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I've already looked on Amazon.
Speaker 2:I know you have.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm probably going to spend a couple hundred.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's okay for you to spend money.
Speaker 1:It's Christmas, babe.

Speaker 2:No, it's for us, it's for the house, it's for our kids, it's for me, it's for you. It's stuff that we need.
Speaker 1:We need.
Speaker 2:We don't need nothing Like the Mickey Mouse from Home Depot no. If anybody listens in on this. I need a Mickey Mouse from Home Depot. He is four feet tall, he is animatronic electronic. He has a little button. He says all the crazy.
Speaker 1:Hi, that's.
Speaker 2:Mickey, all the all the Mickey Mouse antidotes.
Speaker 1:He's adorable.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we need to pick him up, but he's 200 bucks and he's been sold out repeatedly. And then when we go over there, we're on Echale ourselves, we're on empty. We ain't got no money. We're getting something to fix the damn house or something, and of course it was in stock when we didn't have any money.
Speaker 1:We had money, but it was like ugh. It's alright.
Speaker 2:It's alright.
Speaker 1:It's alright, it's like do you eat or do we buy the Mickey Mouse?

Speaker 2:Something always comes up and we're good. Well, I'm sure we are missing stuff.
Speaker 1:We're good, we're always good. We can make it for a while. Something always comes up and we're good.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm sure we are missing stuff. We are right at 40 minutes and we're probably going to keep it to about 40, 45. All right, so we'll probably call this podcast shortly, but we got about five more minutes to think of some things that we want to go over and talk about. Anything come to mind.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Anything funny we've been dealing with. Our neighbors are no longer idiots. Oh yeah, when we first moved in they tried to be a little disrespectful, a little stuff here and there, but we went over there and we put a stop to it really quick.
Speaker 1:I know one.
Speaker 2:You know one what.
Speaker 1:What we could talk about.
Speaker 2:What do you want to talk about, since we're still?
Speaker 1:talking about kind of holidays and stuff. What is everybody's favorite holiday movie? Like must watch.
Speaker 2:Oh, you know what? Yeah, we talked about that the other day and some people's little, their little list for me personally was way out of line. It was not in any kind of great order. So I'll ask you for your top three christmas movies. I already know one of them my top three.
Speaker 1:Okay, so the grinch all right the grinch. I have to watch the Grinch.
Speaker 2:I'm with you, jim Carrey the Grinch, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:Home Alone.
Speaker 2:Absolutely Either one or two, because both are great.
Speaker 1:Yes, they are great.
Speaker 2:Not all. Not all. That's not called a rerun. What the hell is it Remake or what is it? When. What's the second movie called?
Speaker 1:I don't know Sequel yeah.
Speaker 2:Not all sequels are bad. Most of them are, but Home Alone sequel is bomb, yeah, okay, so you got the Grinch and Home Alone.
Speaker 1:The Grinch Home Alone. And then there's well, I love-.
Speaker 2:Pick one last one.
Speaker 1:I love one Christmas movie, but it's not really an authentic Christmas movie. I'm going to say I like the Santa Claus movies.
Speaker 2:Okay, I got to say that I am very, very, very surprised by your answers. Very surprised because there is no heaven sent in there.
Speaker 1:I love that movie, Like I love it, but it's not really authentic.
Speaker 2:What do you mean? It's not authentic. That's Christmas written all over it.
Speaker 1:It's not something that I watched when I was a little girl. I watch this now that I'm grown.
Speaker 2:So I'm right in line with you. Grinch and Home Alone, those are two tops. The third one for me it's a real old one. A lot of people may not agree, but it's A Wonderful Life. It's a black old one. A lot of people may not agree, but it's a wonderful life. It's a black and white. I think they have some color in it. I think it's half black and white, half color. I don't remember. It's an oldie.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's an old, old, old movie, but it's a great story. It's a great movie. Okay, now I'm gonna ask you for three movies that are quote-unquote christmas movies but are not quote-unquote christmas movies.
Speaker 1:I'll start okay, go ahead, so you can give me kind of okay, die hard okay die hard is a christmas movie.
Speaker 2:It happens during christmas in nakatomi plaza, with christmas trees and presents and all kinds of shit, all right. So die hard is a christmas movie. You know what another christmas movie is that people don't realize? Gremlins, uh-huh, gremlins is a christmas movie. That that mugwai or whatever the thing's called grim, what's he called? I don't know what's that little gremlin called, what?

Speaker 1:Oh, Gizmo.
Speaker 2:Gizmo, gizmo, gizmo. So that is a Christmas movie. Third one, I don't know, know, but those two for sure I like those during christmas for some reason. How about you?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know any of them baby like that, like I don't know movies that were like oh, they were just movies that had christmas parts in them.
Speaker 2:I think you are you. I think you have to put in like national lampoons um, you might even have to put harold and kumar oh yeah, that's a good one, that's a good christmas movie um elf yeah um, uh, what's the santa claus or santa claus. You have all the s Claus movies.
Speaker 1:I like all the Santa Claus ones.
Speaker 2:And then, oh, Bad Santa.

Speaker 1:Oh, I think I know yeah.
Speaker 2:And he has a little fat kid that he uses his house and treats like shit, he's a drunk, he's belligerent, they're smoking everything.
Speaker 1:It is funny, it's a hilarious movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, highly inappropriate, but very hilarious.
Speaker 1:I wasn't too big of a fan of Violent Christmas. Remember that one.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:That's too gory for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's ridiculous. How about what's that other movie? Uh, krampus, the scary christmas movie with the little demon, or whatever? Krampus, no, never seen that.
Speaker 1:Or uh, adam sandler, eight crazy nights, or something you know what movie I'm not a big fan of and I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this movie.
Speaker 2:Yes, I already know you're going to get hate.
Speaker 1:A lot of hate for this I'm going to give you hate for it.
Speaker 2:What is it?
Speaker 1:The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Speaker 2:Oh, animation. How about the Night Before?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I like that one Anthony Mackie and Seth Rogan. And what is it? Gordon love hewitt or something? No, I don't know. Yeah, that's a great one. That's a black saxophone well, what about?
Speaker 1:okay, let's go. Let's go to animation now. What is your favorite cartoony movie?
Speaker 2:for christmas. Yeah, oh man. Um, it's hard for me. I go peanuts uh-huh garfield uh-huh uh, kind of those the ones.
Speaker 2:But uh, I don't know if everybody knows this or has recognized this or has seen this on social media over the years or whatnot, but charlie brown was a racist ass cartoon. It was. Oh jesus christ, if you google charlie brown thanksgiving and you just look at the pictures on google, they're having a thanksgiving feast, right, all of the kids are on one side of the table. There's a black kid on the other side of the table I never noticed that yeah, it's, it's sad that is so sad but it's like the you know, the times, right times have changed.
Speaker 2:But at that point in time, you know, I guess it was semi-innocent or something at that point in time. But yeah, I don't, I have a hard time with it. You know, that's because we, as kids, we don't um see that, we don't see that, we don't even recognize. I didn't notice that until I was a 40-year-old man and I seen it on Instagram or Facebook and people talked about hey, has anybody ever noticed that the black kid is sitting by himself on the other side of the table?
Speaker 1:That's so sad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we don't know that while we're growing up we don't see that. I don't know if it's.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's see I like the mickey mouse ones and mickey christmas oh the mickey christmases yeah, I know I'm probably missing christmas uh, animations and then the other one scrooge how about the old claymation ones with the santa claus and the reindeer and the abominable snowman and like all the goofy claymation? Yeah, yeah uh the cob pipe, you know, mr uh frosty the snowman yes with the cob pipe frosty was smoking. Back in the days this dude was ice, he was snow and he was smoking a pipe.
Speaker 1:And you don't even know what was in the pipe yeah a lot of things we don't see and recognize and realize that we're watching when we're, when we're young kid like even now, like if you watch like the Simpsons, like how much like adult content it had, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:My mom did not want me to watch the Simpsons for quite a while because she thought it would be a bad, like a bad influence on me or give me ideas, or maybe she thought I was gonna be, uh, bart simpson himself, you know, I mean the bad one which I was, I guess you were bad.
Speaker 1:I don't think you were bad baby it got there.
Speaker 2:I think by the time I was in sixth grade it started going downhill yeah yeah but there you know like there's a whole bunch going on in life at the time. Nothing I'm going to blame on, you know yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:What else do we got? Do we have anything else?
Speaker 1:Just holidays like holiday parties.
Speaker 2:We were talking about traditions with Christmas. A lot of people get Chinese food on Christmas and I believe it was a Jewish tradition. I believe it was originally a Jewish tradition. I could be incorrect. I apologize if I am, but a lot of people will go out and eat Chinese food on Christmas Eve. I believe it's a traditional thing. I'm all about traditions, though. I like to build those with you and with the family and with our girls and even friends and everything else. Traditions for me. I want to say the more traditions that you have, the easier it is to keep going when things get hard yeah you have something to look forward to.
Speaker 2:For me, that's very important oh yeah especially you know people who struggle with mental health and everything else, and you know my dad's birthday just passed and you know it's a holiday season.
Speaker 2:This shit kind of sucks a little bit right yeah um yeah, mom's bar yeah, and I feel like the more traditions you have, it keeps you busy. It keeps you with something to look forward to, something to do, some hope right when all else you know everything else is shit in your life. Thanksgiving comes up or a tradition comes up and you get to. You know, go be with family and feel love and things that we need, especially when we're struggling. Yeah, I like that Traditions, especially when you're struggling. I think that's about it.
Speaker 2:For this little podcast today We've went about 50 minutes. It's been a very long time since we've got to talk to you guys, post, do anything like that. Um, we are back on track. We do have some time now. Things are finally settling down. Wedding season is going to come to an end here in another month or two. Yeah, we're going to have Christmas parties and stuff like that. They're going to be coming up and, yeah, those are going to be miserably cold if they're outside. But you know, get the party going, get people dancing and warm up.
Speaker 1:You have a nice heated jacket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know when I had to go to wisconsin last year, last year, this year, oh, last year.
Speaker 1:It's been almost a year now during this time wisconsin's freezing.
Speaker 2:It's a different kind of cold, colder than I've ever been in beckersfield period. So, yeah, you bought me that jacket with that battery pack that has like coils all in it and warms up, heats up. That thing gets super hot, though you got to put it on low or you got to actually be really freezing to want to have it on super hot all the time.
Speaker 1:But you can turn it off and when you feel cold turn it back on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's insulated, so the heat stays in there for the most part. You probably want to keep a couple of them battery packs charged, because it does go through them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, especially if you have it on high.
Speaker 2:What else we got? We got the fart blaster. So I didn't know anything about this thing and I'm minding my business, I'm working, I'm working on the house, I'm doing whatever you know we both are. But Marion comes home and she shows me this video of this little gun that shoots out this puff of air. It looks like a circle, it looks like somebody's blowing a circle of air, and they have different liquids that you can put in a gun.
Speaker 1:And one of them smells like shit.
Speaker 2:And it's a? What is it A Minions thing? Yes, it came from the Minions Despicable. Me it's a. What is it a minions thing? Yes, it came from the minions despicable me it's a fart blaster um so fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's funny. It's funny to see the little ring of smoke come out of it and shoot towards somebody and it stink and reactions and faces. We also got a real life hangman. The real life hangman's really cool. It hangs literally by his head and it's all magnetized. You have a magnetized head, magnetized torso, magnetized arms and legs, and the very last leg it has a little bit of extra weight to it. So it, once you attach it, yeah, your hangman collapses and you lose. But we have a whole bunch of games. We we got like 3d, tetris and dominoes, all kinds of who knows, and we like our games. We we just bought the new lotteria game from costco. We haven't even opened it up yet, but it looks fancy as shit I know and it was super cheap it was.
