Sister Sh*t

Spooky Season, Pt. 3: Not So Spooky

Caroline Smith and Meredith Walker Season 1 Episode 15

Ever felt a chill run down your spine while glancing at a Botox needle Christmas ornament or that oddly named Diet Bowl at the neighbourhood café? Join us as we chuckle and shudder through these experiences from our daily lives, proving that spookiness isn't exclusive to Halloween.

Then, we head into the realm of pop-culture - discussing the enigma that is Shrek’s popularity with Gen Z and the strange universe of Daddy Shrek fan fiction. We even dive into the controversial policies of Hobby Lobby, and the struggle of finding affordable craft stores without supporting unethical practices. And no, we haven't forgotten about the sentimentality and oddities of childhood keepsakes. From dreadlock mail to preserving loose teeth, we’re embracing our nostalgia, and hopefully, prompting you to revisit yours. Join us on this rollercoaster ride as we laugh and reminisce.

Speaker 1:

All right, hello, hello, welcome to Sister Shit. I'm Meredith, I am Caroline, and today we will be talking about spooky things, as we have been all month.

Speaker 2:

But Meredith is over it If you can't. No, I'm excited. No, but earlier you were like I'm kind of overspooky.

Speaker 1:

But I'm excited to talk about spooky things that happen every day. Yes, so we have. Caroline and I have both compiled separately things that we find we have. We did not define spooky for each other. We just said write down a list of spooky things that like aren't supposed to be supposed to be spooky and we have not shared a single peep with each other.

Speaker 2:

I wonder if we'll have any ones of the same I'm. There is one we both probably wrote this.

Speaker 1:

Okay, we'll see. Do you want to go first With, just with one?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'll start, just because you sent me this on Instagram the other day, but I like it wasn't the one that you sent me. I like scrolled and found it. So Meredith, the other day sent me these ornaments from altered state, and I don't even remember the one that you sent me.

Speaker 1:

I was a freaking Stanley water bottle cup.

Speaker 2:

Speaking of which, I found a Stanley that was given to me as a birthday present last year that I forgot that I had. I think it was like under the seat and J's truck, because that happens to everything that he puts in his truck and I've been okay. Moving on, very cold Anyways so you sent me the altered state. Stanley Cup ornament cup ornament and I scrolled and there was an altered states Instagram altered states on that post and there was a Botox needle Christmas. Oh no who is buying this for someone for Christmas?

Speaker 1:

I mean it'd be a good gag gift.

Speaker 2:

But like not even that funny.

Speaker 1:

Botox is like a whole. I mean it's like it's a not what it used to be. I mean it is, but it's like culturally acceptable and be. Christmas trees are haywire these days.

Speaker 2:

Well, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, but why do you need a Botox needle?

Speaker 1:

Is it like becoming?

Speaker 2:

a personality.

Speaker 1:

It is 100%, 100%.

Speaker 2:

That's the thing is like we can take these little things that people enjoy and then all of a sudden they're personality because of Instagram and TikTok and altered state and alter state literary Botox needle.

Speaker 1:

That is spooky.

Speaker 2:

Yes, okay and like that goes in, that goes to say like Christmas trees in general, these days are kind of spooky.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like, have you seen the people that keep?

Speaker 2:

them up all year round and change what their theme is. No they'll have like an Easter Christmas no. Halloween, christmas.

Speaker 1:

I have not seen or known a single person.

Speaker 2:

Anyone normal does that, but I like remember coming across someone doing that and being like why that's crazy.

Speaker 1:

That's wild. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2:

Wow.

Speaker 1:

So okay you're up. My first spooky thing on the list is the diet bowl we saw at Carolina Cafe the other last week. Let me describe to you this bowl. First of all, I need to set the scene. The woman behind the desk was had a shirt that said diet culture is scarier, like something like that something against diet culture.

Speaker 2:

I didn't even see her. Yes.

Speaker 1:

And then you just glance over to the glass case and behind the glass is a. The label said diet bowl.

Speaker 2:

Was she protesting her boss, with that shirt?

Speaker 1:

Maybe, but it was a the bowl. It was a single leaf of lettuce with three rinds of cantaloupe in a circle to make the shape of a bowl with nothing inside of the bowl, just the lettuce. And there were three grapes rolling around no stem no stem and then like maybe one other type of fruit in the bowl and I thought it has been a minute since I've seen something like that you and I talked to this diet ball.

Speaker 2:

I'm so glad it was on your spooky list.

Speaker 1:

It really was spooky.

Speaker 2:

We talked were like are you supposed to add?

Speaker 1:

cottage cheese.

Speaker 2:

Which I love, cottage cheese. That is spooky. Cottage cheese is spooky.

Speaker 1:

I love it. It's so good.

Speaker 2:

Gross. I was gonna say like chicken salad.

Speaker 1:

Canola. I just I don't know, I just don't think we need to be selling that.

Speaker 2:

No, just say just call it a fruit bowl. I know just called a fruit bowl. You're just promoting people to eat one piece of lettuce and our cantaloupe rind and rind grapes rind.

Speaker 1:

The grapes man. Okay, rolling around.

Speaker 2:

Okay, my next one is and I need to like clarify this one but milk drinkers go like, go deeper you can dip a cookie in milk. I do that all the time. Granted. What do I call my milk cup? A kitty cup A kitty cup, because it should be K.

Speaker 1:

I, t, t Y.

Speaker 2:

Yes, a kitty cup because it should be no bigger than what she would feed your cat, and that is all you need to dip your cookie in.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And I know we have milk drinkers in the world in the world. In the living room.

Speaker 1:

Walker, you're a milk drinker. Okay, patreon, Stay tuned. This is a Patreon episode, apparently.

Speaker 2:

But my well, and I have also, Caroline.

Speaker 1:

You were the nastiest milk drinker as a kid. I know you drink so much milk and I would put ice in it.

Speaker 2:

Yes, you did.

Speaker 1:

So I want it to be like ice cold, because if it's anything but ice cold.

Speaker 2:

It's even more gross.

Speaker 1:

But what are you talking about now, like drinking a glass of milk with dinner as an adult.

Speaker 2:

Like like washing down your steak or I don't need state, but even like a burger or like a, I mean yeah, anything. Yeah, it's weird, Like if you run a date and the guy ordered milk would be weird, milk and I don't think I know any adults that do that in public. But I'm sure there's a lot that do it in their home.

Speaker 1:

But I feel like that's fair. You know you do what you want in your house.

Speaker 2:

Do what you want in your own home, just don't order it.

Speaker 1:

Okay, this was spooky. This happened to me recently. This is a text for my next door neighbor at 8 am.

Speaker 2:

Oh gosh.

Speaker 1:

She's 80 in her mid 80s. Good morning.

Speaker 2:

Wait, I love this. I think you've already sent this to me.

Speaker 1:

I hate it. Your sweet Rony, which is our cat, greeted us on the sidewalk as we passed by. On our walk, we noticed a burr at the base of her tail. I think she will need help getting it out. It's near her anus and could and could pose a big problem for her. You may have already noticed. Please forgive my intrusion. Good luck with it. I said oh, that's so sweet. Oh, anus. We're using terms that I was not ready for At 8 am and she did not have a burr. And good luck, there was no burr.

Speaker 2:

I looked what she meant to say was Dingleberry.

Speaker 1:

You think it was a Dingleberry.

Speaker 2:

She was okay with saying anus, but she was not okay with saying a Dingleberry but a burr, I thought she meant like a little sticker. Like a sticker.

Speaker 1:

But I did a quick, quick little look and I thought I was like she'll work it out, I'm not helping her down there, she the cat.

Speaker 2:

She'll figure it out. It's like the time I saw Hiccup pooping something blue in the backyard and I was like what is that? Oh, that's Sim's foam sword he got for Christmas and I let it work itself out.

Speaker 1:

It does, and if it doesn't, natural selection.

Speaker 2:

Oh my gosh, I was gonna say you take them to the vet.

Speaker 1:

I'm just kidding, I would be heartbroken but, I was not going out of my way to get that burr and she. Sorry, we'll bleep that out, but neither was she, and she was making sure. Yeah, spooky.

Speaker 2:

Okay, my next one, and I've been freaked out about this maybe since forever. Kids with food on their shirt like crusty shirts.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, it's gross.

Speaker 2:

Like I remember sitting next to kids and I was a ragamuffin.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But I remember sitting next to kids in class having food in their shirts and me being like I can smell that. That's disgusting.

Speaker 1:

Really.

Speaker 2:

Yes, that's funny. I have been grossed out by it forever. Yeah, and now I have my own child and I realize how much you can't make it stop yeah. And there's nothing you can do about it, but every day I pick them up from school and it's crusty.

Speaker 1:

And I'm like yeah, when does it stop? I know. I don't know Ugh yeah, it's a lot.

Speaker 2:

That one was an easy one.

Speaker 1:

It's gross.

Speaker 2:

All right.

Speaker 1:

My next one's not so spooky, but it's more like I honestly initially wrote this down as like something that straight men do. Okay, Backing into a parking space Thoughts Jay does it a lot.

Speaker 2:

I keep those too. It's a straight white man thing, maybe not white.

Speaker 1:

It's a guy thing. It's a guy thing. It's like what? Why? I don't know why the three point turn.

Speaker 2:

I've never once been in a car with a female that backs.

Speaker 1:

No me either.

Speaker 2:

I've only been in a car with a man that does it.

Speaker 1:

Yes, for what reason?

Speaker 2:

Quick getaway from the chiles I'm like pull through from the chiles and like just pull through, pull through.

Speaker 1:

If you're lucky, you'll pull through.

Speaker 2:

If not, you back up and also like backing up is easier than backing into a parking spot.

Speaker 1:

I know, I don't know why they do it.

Speaker 2:

Is it like, oh, maybe someone in the parking lot will see me doing this and be really impressed. Or is it like I need a quick escape in case I have to save the day for something?

Speaker 1:

I think it's like a Either way. It's like hero mentality. Yes, I think it's like a thinking ahead. It'll be easier when we leave. I can just pull right out.

Speaker 2:

But they're not going to think ahead on anything else. Like anything else, they're not going to think ahead about if you need to pack anything to go to the restaurant.

Speaker 1:

Very true. Only about parking situations On the ready. But you're right, I've never been in a car with a woman that backs into a parking space and if I did I'd feel like interesting.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I would notice it, I would notice it Yep. Ok, I had this one happen to me this morning In a coffee shop. I was sitting working on my computer and somebody working in the back. I heard them bell, no. Bells belching in public, and from an employee. Yeah, from an employee. And then I also heard someone yesterday in a small group. Of people were like friends, so I did not?

Speaker 1:

You heard it from the back, from the conversation.

Speaker 2:

I'm like man, I've been around a lot of people belching lately and I'm realizing and I'm not going to talk OK, I mean I tend to be a gassy girl A gassy girl, I'm a gassy girl, but, but the whole like just going out belching in public Like I would never like. I'm in a belch in your living room, but I'm never gonna belch in a coffee shop where you will hear me from the back.

Speaker 1:

That's gross. It was gross. Were they preparing food? Yeah?

Speaker 2:

Belching on my food who which one was it? I didn't see who it was. They were in the back. I just heard it.

Speaker 1:

I hate that.

Speaker 2:

But like it's a common thing Like I've noticed, even some people do it that you least expect.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I know.

Speaker 2:

Belch. One time I was at a winery with my friend and her friend was with us and her friend was just like belching like the whole time and I was like I just don't like it's no different than a toot.

Speaker 1:

It's just coming out the other end and I think that it's worse. Would you do that?

Speaker 2:

No, that's what I mean. Like, will I belch in your living room with you? Yes, am I gonna do it at like a party?

Speaker 1:

No, no, no, I know no. We had a friend that was like very permanent, proper, never did thing wrong, Her husband didn't think she pooped and she would belch, and it's like a fart coming out of your mouth.

Speaker 2:

I know I know?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's very strange Well.

Speaker 2:

I know you can't help it sometimes either.

Speaker 1:

I know Like sometimes they just come out, I know, but like the audible. You can help how loud it is to an extent, for sure, for sure.

Speaker 2:

And I understand the satisfaction of the loud bird. Something that really embarrassing is gonna happen to us after recording this.

Speaker 1:

We're just asking for it.

Speaker 2:

Okay, but I'm trying to be understanding because I'm like. I know it can happen like mid-conversation.

Speaker 1:

Yes, for sure.

Speaker 2:

And there's also like some satisfaction that comes from like a loud bird.

Speaker 1:

You don't have to be that empathetic.

Speaker 2:

But like save that For your living room.

Speaker 1:

It's like we're just letting it out.

Speaker 2:

Living room belches only.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I cannot believe you heard that name from the back.

Speaker 2:

I was in a lie one time at like a restaurant, getting my food at like a chick-flat or something, and the person behind me belched and I was so disgusted by it and then I thought that was like kind of. When I realized like, oh, this is just something people do.

Speaker 1:

I don't think it should be. I don't think it's supposed to be.

Speaker 2:

And like if you're my friend, belch around me anytime, but like not in public where other people can hear you. Cause then it's gonna be like oh, I'm out in public with my friend and she won't stop farting and I'm embarrassed by that. It should be in the same category.

Speaker 1:

It should and it's not, and I don't understand why.

Speaker 2:

Now I'm gonna like get my, I'm like gonna have karma.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2:

But anyways, okay, what's your next one?

Speaker 1:

Okay, jenzie's infatuation with Shrek.

Speaker 2:

What's the?

Speaker 1:

deal.

Speaker 2:

I saw a girl the other day wearing Shrek crocs, which apparently was like a huge thing and like I saw like four, I was at a tattoo shop and like all the Gen Z kids, like a whole group of them, came in and complimented her. Yeah, what's the deal with the what's the deal.

Speaker 1:

Cause they were like two when the movie came out maybe.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's so true.

Speaker 1:

I didn't even think about the fact that, like I think about it often because I don't get it and I guess that makes me old, but also like why, shrek, we need someone on the podcast to help us understand.

Speaker 2:

We'll understand.

Speaker 1:

Like, is it? And this is a term that I don't understand, but like can't be. Yeah. I never understand or like a cult classic. Did I use that?

Speaker 2:

right Cult classic maybe.

Speaker 1:

But it's like almost too widespread to even be a cult classic Like the merch.

Speaker 2:

Everyone liked freaking Shrek when it came out.

Speaker 1:

Right, that's true, that's true.

Speaker 2:

Like it's not a cult classic. Everyone liked Shrek I know, I don't watch it if it came on TV, but I'm not buying the products.

Speaker 1:

But it is alive and well with the youngins and I don't get what's going on. I don't understand.

Speaker 2:

I know Well, didn't that girl write like Shrek Smut?

Speaker 1:

Yes, I came across someone that wrote Shrek fan. What fantasy, what's it called? I'm when you like, write fan fiction, and it was like Shrek was like the sexual daddy in the book.

Speaker 2:

Daddy Shrek.

Speaker 1:

Daddy Shrek Was very I don't understand.

Speaker 2:

We need, we need what and more people like this is hilarious and she was like y'all think I'm not being serious, but I'm like being serious.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I'm making money off. Yes, so y'all can all f off. Yeah, it's some things there we need. We need someone to come and I need to tell me about Shrek.

Speaker 2:

No, I already know it's a good movie. I just need to know about the recent yeah.

Speaker 1:

With the people who weren't alive when it was made.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, which, like I, there are movies that came out before me that I'm into.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but it's just a race. Yeah, but we don't have like grease merch on yeah.

Speaker 2:

But I think we did for a time. They don't like everyone was dressing up as like grease people for Halloween and we did like sock-cop parties and yeah, but that was more like a try-don't.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, I gotta know.

Speaker 2:

I'm just trying to think of what it could possibly.

Speaker 1:

Equate to yeah, I don't know, but anyway I it comes across my Instagram a lot and I don't get it spooky. Okay, my next one is hobby lobbies spooky on multiple levels, levels, but you know. But I love, I never leave there unhappy.

Speaker 2:

The last time I went in I was dreading it.

Speaker 1:

I really needed something and I said I should go to.

Speaker 2:

Marshall's because the Marshall's does not support conversion camps. Yeah, I Couldn't go to Marshall's because I was already in the parking lot for hobby lobby eating at Taco Bell. So I Decided to go in there and just get a couple little things. Spend three dollars, four dollars. I Walked around that hobby lobby for a long. I know time it's entertaining so it's spooky on so many levels of like you're like I don't want to go in here.

Speaker 2:

Yeah because it's Horrific and kind of scary. And then you get in and you're like wait some of this stuff is cute. I know, but then you get through some sections that are like wolf my god, my American flag, my this yeah. Wait now, I'm scared again. It's all over the place and then you're like, as dad would say, if something catches on fire. Yeah, you're dead three seconds, you're dead, so spooky on that level.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, because everything in there is flammable yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and like it's. So Floor-to-ceiling, yes, flammable shit.

Speaker 1:

I know one exit but I I shook some snow globe. I went in there recently to shook some snow gloats. Consider buying one. Yeah, I went to every section to accept for the middle.

Speaker 2:

That's the section you have to avoid the home decor. Oh, I like the home decor I'm not gonna buy. I don't necessarily buy any of it you get into like that's where I bought my cute terrarium. I'm not talking about that kind of home decor.

Speaker 1:

About the signs of the signs yeah, yeah, yeah like the teal. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'll print, like crosses, this section beer and like the Can section and then the like yeah, the Lake house section. Yeah, and the beach house section, like that kind of stuff. That is all like faith, fun and hot dogs.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but yeah but will I?

Speaker 2:

did I buy things?

Speaker 1:

I did, sure did.

Speaker 2:

I did. I even bought like a little Christmas craft for Sem.

Speaker 1:

I know they're craft section is better than any other craft store. It's a really good.

Speaker 2:

Why did they have to be such assholes about gay people? Well, and.

Speaker 1:

I mean I don't think it's just that either. I think it's like they're like pretty bad to their employees too. Oh no, I mean I don't know, this is all hearsay. I had a girl in my, my college class try to make all of us boycott hobby lobby For our like art supplies and we're like, no, it's the cheapest place in town. And she was like making us all try to boycott it because they like oh, they wouldn't give their, their employees like healthcare insurance because they I don't know.

Speaker 2:

It was some kind of like religious freedom thing, but Wouldn't you think that if you were like a religious company, you'd be trying to offer your employees healthcare?

Speaker 1:

I mean you would, but it was like how to do with I don't know. It's like a political thing, I don't know, but she was like I mean, they are evil. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I don't know, and they got that music playing the like twinkly Christian music it literally when I was in there.

Speaker 1:

It's like our God, but with no words, which is a elevator version. Yeah, remember when chick-fil-a used to play that yes, they stopped, they stopped.

Speaker 2:

They also stopped supporting Conversion camps.

Speaker 1:

What if those things happen simultaneously? They?

Speaker 2:

said okay, now that we don't do this anymore, we're not tied to this CD, this one CD.

Speaker 1:

Hobby Lobby, the camp says in the CD it's like brainwashing. Yeah, yeah, hobby Lobby. I don't know, but I keep going because it's good.

Speaker 2:

I know I mean I haven't been in years and I went in and I was like damn it.

Speaker 1:

I know they got everything.

Speaker 2:

I know it is magical Also.

Speaker 1:

Oh, yes, yes, for sure, oh man. Okay, I have two more One's. The last one's kind of a story, so I'm gonna do. There was a moment in my orange three classes past week I a sped-up version of a Taylor Swift song came on y'all I know this is a touchy subject, we're not gonna go to get into Taylor Swift, but there was a moment that was spooky and it had to do Taylor Swift Okay the song came on, the coach was like enthusiastically singing along to it, like being silly.

Speaker 1:

And then there was a part of the song where three we are all running on the treadmill at the same time and three people on the treadmill all sync and synchronized. And Synchronicity is that a word? I think so did like a fist bump at the same part of the song and I felt scared.

Speaker 2:

You're like, oh no, they're gonna know that I don't listen to her and I'm the minority in this group and I was just like Holy shit.

Speaker 1:

It's seeping into our every day. You know the concert culture. It's happening, but that's all.

Speaker 2:

I'm gonna say and we're gonna be done, I don't even I don't remember.

Speaker 1:

I don't remember, but it was sped up which made it somehow I feel so scared talking about it right now. Anyway, that was.

Speaker 2:

Yep, we won't even get.

Speaker 1:

We won't even go that far, we're just gonna nip it in the bud. Okay, I was in a weird moment.

Speaker 2:

It was where you miss the fist. Miss the fist, bump I thought that happened so fast.

Speaker 1:

Did I imagine that? No, I don't think I did. We are doing this together. No, the coach was like just being like silly, like I don't know. He was not in on the culture, he just knows the words like all of us do like yes, yes, yes, yes, they were like three Greg, three gals on the treadmill that were very much like they had gone to this.

Speaker 2:

We asked for sure for sure.

Speaker 1:

Okay, yep, mm-hmm, um, and you know no shame.

Speaker 2:

No, there is no shame in that realm. There is no shame in that realm.

Speaker 1:

Rome, rome, oh Rome.

Speaker 2:

In the Taylors world.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, for sure, no shame. Okay, do you have another one?

Speaker 2:

My other one's just like really obviously disgusting. What Loose teeth.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I'm so glad. Yes, my daughter has two and a half loose teeth right now, I know.

Speaker 2:

Your daughter at the climbing gym the other day.

Speaker 1:

She's like show it do a little tongue thing on her front teeth. You know we all did it. And now, yeah, it's awful.

Speaker 2:

I used to let mine dangling. Oh, I remember With a thread.

Speaker 1:

Caroline had one yearbook picture. She didn't tell anybody about this and mom got the yearbook picture back and Caroline is doing a closed mouth, soft smile and her dangly ass little front tooth is peeping out of her. I don't even remember that, you don't? Her mouth is fully closed and her loose tooth is sticking out facing front.

Speaker 2:

I hated pulling it too, like it was hanging on by a thread. It stressed me out. Same with, like splinters, I would just rather have the splinter than pull it out of her.

Speaker 1:

But you put it outside of your mouth for your cool photo. I don't know, was it an accident? I felt very intentional.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. I can't believe you don't remember that. I don't think mom kept the photos. You know she looked up. I feel like I've seen a recent childhood.

Speaker 1:

No, she's the opposite. She'll give me stuff. Every time I steer she gives me something and I'm like, do I keep this or do I?

Speaker 2:

I guess that's what I mean, it's like she keeps giving it to me, so I'm like you're getting rid of all my childhood stuff.

Speaker 1:

But I think it is like you get to a point where you're like you're 30. I don't need your artwork from first grade, I know it is like what do we save it for? I don't know, anyway. But yeah, I lose teeth are disgusting Bad disgusting.

Speaker 2:

And then we like, do the whole thing where they go under the pillow, and then what do you do with them afterwards? You want to hear some ex-boots Cheek them.

Speaker 1:

Me and Kit, my youngest daughter. I've come up with a narrative that the tooth fairy uses the teeth as bricks. Ew In the village that she lives. So all the buildings are made out of children's teeth. That's Ditt Sterbank and the assistant, which honestly makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 2:

Mommy used to tell us that she ground them up and used the teeth dust to make her fly.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's worse somehow, isn't it? It's all bad.

Speaker 2:

I don't want anyone's teeth, anyone else's teeth, having anything to do with a little fairy that's coming to my pillow. I know.

Speaker 1:

See, I never that never felt weird to me.

Speaker 2:

I was into it. I wanted the money and I wanted her to get the fuck out. Leave the, put the money under the door.

Speaker 1:

Are you going to save Sim's teeth? No, Gosh, no, I have one of them in my. I have one. I saved one. I don't know what I'm going to do with it. I think I'm going to say go put that in the toilet, I also have hair, I don't know Did you save hair.

Speaker 2:

I do have a little tiny piece of hair from his first haircut, but that felt more normal because I used to cut hair. I have hair. The teeth feels like this is sick.

Speaker 1:

I know what do you do with it.

Speaker 2:

This is like things serial killers do is keep wringlets and teeth.

Speaker 1:

For real. Okay, so this actually this is a great segue to my last spooky thing. Okay, when I was newly married, caroline was still in.

Speaker 2:

No, don't tell this.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, caroline was still in high school. She had on her head barely one single dreadlock that someone gave her, and when I say dreadlock, it was two inches long and it hung from about three strands of hair. It was not doing. About three inches from the scalp of her head, so it looked like a little owl pellet If anyone has ever dissected one of those in science class and that thing just dangled on the nape of her neck and she'd put her hair up and I mean it was sick.

Speaker 2:

I'm not denying it was sick and Meredith hated on it so hard.

Speaker 1:

But you like, didn't say at that time in your life, you did not say yeah, you're right, it's gross.

Speaker 2:

Well cause, I didn't want to give you the satisfaction. It's used to shit on me all the time, I know I did. So, I was not trying to be like yeah, you're right, I was like fuck it.

Speaker 1:

So one day I got mail and it was from Caroline and I was like, oh my gosh, I'm so excited, what is it? And I opened it up and she had cut off her nasty little pellet dreadlock and mailed it to me in the mail and I think I like gassed and threw the envelope.

Speaker 2:

Mom and dad fully supported that package. I think they paid for the postage. They were like this is gonna be so funny.

Speaker 1:

I was very surprised.

Speaker 2:

I think they were also really happy, I was cutting.

Speaker 1:

Yes, they were like. Yes, please, did you have more than one? Was it just the one?

Speaker 2:

Well, I had that one, and then I tried it again my freshman year of college, and that one just ended up being like attached to my scalp but then loose on the end.

Speaker 1:

What do you mean? And then I was like why am I doing this, my?

Speaker 2:

hair clearly does not like this, so I just brushed it. No, I think I had to cut it out, and then I had a short little strand to the top, because that one was in my part. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Well.

Speaker 2:

It was a phase.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I used to tell people I wanted micro dreads, so it was a thing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, why did? Why I don't know Regrettable, but anyway, that was my final spooky thing, man, and Okay, I had one more, but like I don't even know if we should get into this, what? Because it's like something you and I talk about every three days.

Speaker 1:

What.

Speaker 2:

And I equally love it as much as I am spooked by it.

Speaker 1:

You have to talk about it now.

Speaker 2:

Like cringy TikTok and cringy Instagram.

Speaker 1:

I love it.

Speaker 2:

I love it, but it's terrifying.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, in what way?

Speaker 2:

like that. People are serious.

Speaker 1:

I think you're deeper in cringe talk than I am.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I am deep, yeah, Like it's not just E-boys anymore Wait describe what cringe talk is for people who don't know. So like Meredith got me into Fave TikToks 420. 420 on Instagram and it is just like really cringey people doing.

Speaker 1:

Mainly guys trying to be hot.

Speaker 2:

Like E-boys like doing these weird things. Or like these weird fake scenarios where they're like pretending they're the cameras, they're girlfriend and they're like oh baby, you're so cute, little sister, little sister.

Speaker 1:

Remember that one guy that's always like pretending to talk to his little sister.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and like about how cute she is and I'm like what is happening?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So that's where it started. But, then like more people, like my friend was sending me ones from another page that were like people pretending to be like wolves, getting their like first wolf call out in the wild and they're literally like in their parents backyard, like pouncing in the grass and like howling at the moon.

Speaker 1:

And.

Speaker 2:

I think I watched like one too many.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And now I'm getting like lots of like people pretending that they're like the alpha dog with a pack of people behind them, but they like are pretending that they're dogs and like this one girl that does like what's the like age, like how old do you think these people are on average? Okay, one alpha dog that I keep coming across is like well, in her fifties.

Speaker 1:

Oh, little doggies, or like young, oh no, and it's weird, I don't like that.

Speaker 2:

So that's where things got most of the cringe talk.

Speaker 1:

I feel like it's like early twenties, but I do love the e-boys because that is love. The e-boys like what's his name the country boy.

Speaker 2:

And he's like that, just like really wants a wife and he wants to live on his ranch and take his family to church. Yeah, golden retriever, and wear his big old belt.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, if you don't follow Fave Tiktoks for 20, please do yourself a favor. It is my favorite account to follow on Instagram.

Speaker 2:

We also get we do deep dives on Disney adults which like a different level of Disney adults, because we'll touch on this later, but I am one, and the image walkers response to that was what does that mean? You like Snow White and shit?

Speaker 1:

I can't wait for a Disney adult podcast, I know because you're like we're all we're all on the spectrum. We're all on the spectrum.

Speaker 2:

It's a spectrum, but the ones we have found on Instagram are like wearing Disney bounding outfits to the parks and like harassing cast members by like trying to pretend that they're like a princesses, and also by we're all on the spectrum, I don't.

Speaker 1:

I just mean like me and Caroline and our sister are not.

Speaker 2:

There are a lot of. Most people are not on the Disney adult spectrum All right, our family is on the spectrum.

Speaker 1:

Well, yeah, Disney adults. Yes, for sure. Cringe Tiktok. It is spooky, but man it's pretty entertaining. But I don't.

Speaker 2:

I only go.

Speaker 1:

I go to a certain link, I go to a certain depth and I don't go too far.

Speaker 2:

But, jay, like there is this one girl who is like you think I'm innocent and then, like the music gets like more intense, she's like but I'm a bad girl. Basically is like the vibe of the video and she just like flips her hair and turns towards the camera and she looks like exactly the same.

Speaker 1:

And Jay, like those are my favorite. I love that one.

Speaker 2:

He was like I could watch this.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, those are my favorite, Like them. The ones that are, like, the least self aware are the best. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, man, it's good I don't watch too many or you will end up in a deep hole of alpha dogs.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't like that. That girl needs to be put on a watch. It needs to be put on a watch list of some kind, trying to do like, like the thing that Fox is due to the ground where they like dive at the ground in her back yard and I feel like her parents are just inside, probably like smoking a joint.

Speaker 2:

Like, what have we done? No, no, no, she's younger, she's like in her 20s. But like I'm pretty sure she's like at her parents.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2:

It's the first time I was called to be a wolf.

Speaker 1:

I got to see this girl.

Speaker 2:

Her parents are probably just like can you please move?

Speaker 1:

Please leave. Get a job, oh gosh, gotta love it and yeah, but on that note yeah, sorry, I was like in the middle of our Disney. I was like, all right, wrap it up. No, we're good. Um well, this was fun. Next week we're talking about all right, it's our final Halloween, so it's our final spooky season episode, we sharing some ghost stories, but like not too spooky.

Speaker 2:

So if you don't like ghost stories, don't worry.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

They're not too spooky.

Speaker 1:

And yeah, our sister Emily was really won't would not listen to our Becky Baker episode because she knows the story wants nothing to do with Becky, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But the next one is going to be more. I think we're going to talk about Halloween nostalgia, yeah, so don't be scared, okay.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:
