After a year-long break, we’re finally back – and yes, we’re just as surprised as you are. Enough of you asked when we’d return that we couldn’t ignore it (and honestly, we missed it too).
Not much worth talking about has happened since we’ve been gone… and yet, somehow, we have a lot to talk about. We kick things off with our “rope-dropping” adventure to the mall: Dillard’s is surprisingly impressive, Victoria’s Secret is still hanging on, and Wet Seal’s legendary $1 thong bin is sadly MIA. From there, we wander through celebrity dreams, a “monkey at the mall” moment, and Olive Garden’s unexpectedly handsome waitstaff. We’re glad to be back – and glad you’re here too.

We're Back After a Year!
Speaker 1Free audio post production by Alphoniccom Hello.
Speaker 2We've missed you guys so much and we're back. Can you believe it? Did you ever think that we would actually get our shit together and come back? It's been a whole year and here we are. I doubted us. I also doubted us and honestly, if it wasn't for, like, our five fans telling us they missed us, we probably wouldn't be here.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2So thanks, thanks. Yeah, it's been almost a year since we said we were going to come back. We looked up a list of things that have happened since a year ago, and the only thing worth talking about was Mudang, which I did see a video of her recently and she's like grown up. I know she's turned a year and she's still so sassy. I know she's a year, I think she just had her birthday, happy birthday. Happy birthday, mudang, everything else that happened in the past year is probably not worth talking about.
Speaker 2No, there's been lots of concerts, like lots of tours that you've gone to.
Speaker 2No, just that other people are posting about constantly, like I feel like Beyonce is constantly on tour. Yeah, didn't she just have one? Now people are there. I'm seeing the gold horse all over my feed. I think she's still on tour. Do you think it's fair to ask people to stop posting videos from their concert? I think it is because you know what. A I wasn't there, so I don't want to see it. And b if you were there, keep it to yourself and I'm a concert poster.
Speaker 2But don't ruin it for people who have yet to go. Then all the fun. I've seen the freaking Gold Horse four times.
Speaker 1I feel like I've been to the concert.
Speaker 2I did see her almost fall out of that car. I know that was crazy that was scary, but no one filmed long enough. If you're going to film. Film the good stuff that you can't see ever again. If you're going to film stuff that happens every time, I don't want to see it.
Speaker 1Oh my gosh, Get on a Facebook group.
Speaker 2This is one of my like party stories or like fun facts is I was at the Mac Miller concert before. He was like super big. He played in a little venue in Charleston.
Speaker 1And.
Speaker 2I was at the show where he crowd surfed and somebody stole his shoe. Oh, and he like got on stage and was like no one's allowed to leave until.
Speaker 1I get my shoe back, until I get my shoe back.
Speaker 2That probably was embarrassing. He said he just bought them that day and he wanted it back.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean yeah, don't take his shoe. I know I didn't take his shoe, I know. I'm just saying to people Sound.
Speaker 2I know I'm just saying to people Sounded a little guilty, Caroline. No, I did not. I was not a part of the crowd surfing. I don't think anything crazy has happened at a concert I've been to. I'm seeing the Jonas Brothers again. You're currently wearing a Jonas Brothers t-shirt. I am and honestly, it's getting to the point where I'm like boys, boys, you're touring every year at this point. You love it, you go every year, I do, but it's also like You're bringing your son. I know we're surprised.
Speaker 1How do you feel about him having to?
Speaker 2tell all his friends that his first concert was the Jonas Brothers.
Speaker 1So proud Okay.
Speaker 2Good, so proud. Love that, jay, not so much.
Speaker 1Yeah, jay's going too, though That'll be fun.
Speaker 2Yeah, I was like wait, you bought yourself a ticket too. That's shocking, and he was like well, someone's going to have to go get you guys snacks, and I have to make sure that you don't leave with Joe Jonas, oh yeah. I was like God, he knows me, don't. Joe is. Joe is newly single, and I dreamed that I met him in New York City and he invited me into his treehouse.
Speaker 1And we it was not at all.
Speaker 2That's prime real estate. He had a treehouse in New York City. He had a treehouse in New York City. Wow, and there was tons of like netting like you know, like the hammocks. Yes, I follow a guy that does that for a living, and we just laid not next to each other, like across from each other and like had intellectual combos and like really became friends, like best friends that's not your first time you've dreamed.
Speaker 2you're a friend to the Jonas Brother. I know I had a okay, I won't do this because it's annoying when people tell about their dreams but I also had a celebrity dream recently where Britney Spears was giving me all the tea. I know you said that and you said the tea didn't make sense, but I was hoping it would have been like prophetic no like was she trying to tell you something that's gonna happen, like the Simpsons no it wasn't, it didn't make any sense what era of Britney was it? Was it like?
Speaker 1she was so young and beautiful.
Speaker 2She was like the same height as me and she, just she was like her prime and her prime, it was good to see her.
Speaker 1You know what?
Speaker 2Last time I had a dream about Britney Spears. I wet the bed. How old were you? I was too old, I was like nine and I was going to say older than nine, no, but I like and I was sleeping in our older sister's bed because she was at a friend's house. I guess I remember being like Mom you can't tell anyone, but I wet the bed and Mom was so cool about it. I wet my wind suit one time. That's the worst material.
Speaker 1I had a windbreaker suit.
Speaker 2When and why? It was at some point in the 90s okay, early 2000, what color? Was it it was.
Speaker 1Why do I know it was?
Speaker 2purple. I knew it was purple and green and I was on. I was like sitting with you and our cousin carrie, and I started laughing about the way that my laugh sounded and like couldn't stop.
Speaker 1It was one of those moments where, like everyone's done laughing, you like can't stop yeah it was embarrassing already oh no and then I peed my pants, did we know?
Speaker 2no, I just disappeared you know that elastic bottom kept all that in. We were just sloshing around like a little yeti cup I told mom and she was so cool about it.
Speaker 1I know she does. Thanks mom for being cool. She keeps her cool in embarrassing situations.
Concert Etiquette and Celebrity Dreams
Speaker 2She does, but yeah, so this Britney dream was a lot better. Anyway, what were we talking about? We were talking about concerts. A lot's happened this year, moody.
Speaker 1People need to stop posting about their concert.
Speaker 2Hey, that was Meredith, that was not Caroline. You can post about your concerts if you want to. I mean, I just don't think I'm alone with that. We could do a vote, we should. I mean, I just I never think like, hey, I like, if I want to see the concert, I will watch the like product, the like, the one that like.
Speaker 1Netflix puts out a year later. You know what?
Speaker 2I mean, yeah, I don't want to see your low res videos with bad audio.
Speaker 1Yeah, don't post it.
Speaker 2Most of the time people are posting those, they're probably drunk.
Speaker 1I know.
Speaker 2And I've been there, so you know. Yeah, I get it and it's fine. Do whatever you want on the Internet. Yeah, ok, we've come full circle. We want to talk about malls tonight. We rope dropped the mall. The other day we did rope drop the mall for all you Disney people who know what that means. We went to the mall with a non-Disney person and Caroline said you can't say rope drop because she won't know what that means. Yeah, and we use that term for, like, if you're showing up at opening anywhere you're rope dropping.
Speaker 2So we showed up at 11.
Speaker 1It was busy. It was so busy, a lot of people rope dropped.
Speaker 2I was scared of the mall, especially the Harbison one, because it got. People got shot, people got held up in it like a year or two ago.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And they had to like hide in the stores.
Speaker 1Oh wait, I thought it was a parking lot shooting.
Speaker 2No they Well, maybe it was but Maybe two separate incidents they had to like People were hiding in the stores and they like got locked in the mall. The mall went on lockdown. I didn't know that, keith did say be safe when I left. Yeah, I know some wanted to come and I was like for some reason, I don't really want to bring you to the mall. But let me tell you, guys, it was alive and well, alive and well. The Cinnabons were Cinnaboning. It smelled so good Auntie Anne's.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Was serving up pretzels. It was alive and honestly, Dillard's, do not sleep on Dillard's.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2It's kind of a killer department store and I've missed we all agreed we've missed shopping in person, like walking around touching the fabrics, trying so hard. Holding them up to your body, seeing if you think it would fit. Asking the lady for a dressing room.
Speaker 2And not having to be alone with your laptop, being like will this fit me? That's so stressful and I think the way things get served to you now you just see the same shit over and over again. It was so nice being in the mall, being like oh, I'm seeing every option and it's not just because I clicked delete. Yeah, now it's going to get shown to me 18 times. I know it was nice, dillard's had the best stuff. Yeah, what was that brand that I liked. It was like something Nietzsche.
Speaker 1I don't know. I kept seeing stuff I like.
Speaker 2Gianni Beni, gianni Beni.
Speaker 1Yeah, gianni Beni.
Speaker 2Beanie Love that. Yeah, dress for a wedding. Yeah, caroline, found a really hot dress yeah our mom told her it was too long. I think you need, I think I don't know, I don't believe her. I think you need to wear it. I'm gonna get it hemmed anyways. So we're gonna talk about the mall and how we feel about the mall. It was a great what's your favorite mall?
Speaker 2memory. Oh my gosh. Well, it's funny because Jay always says whenever he thinks about like meeting girls in his prime, he's like the mall when he was 12.
Speaker 1The mall, the mall is where you meet girls.
Speaker 2I know and I'm like the mall is no longer where you meet girls. No it's not. The teens at the mall are now grownups. You know what I mean. Like the same people that went to the mall as teens are now just going as adults and there were no teen groups I did. I saw a group of three teeny boys you did in what store they had mullets and they were. They weren't in a store we like passed them and I thought they were just hanging out.
Speaker 1Young people are in the mall.
Speaker 2They had a kiosk no have you ever bought anything from a kiosk? Yeah, for sure. I think I bought like a phone case or something yeah, when I got when I worked at banana republic. I got suckered into buying like a whole hand cream set from this guy from greece. What?
Speaker 1yeah, yeah, okay, well, maybe it was a nail kit, I don't know. Remember neighbor sahar.
Speaker 2Yes, we had this neighbor when we lived in charleston and her family. They were like.
Speaker 1Oh, they were kiosk rich and they were kiosk owners. They had like a bunch of jewelry mall kiosks, you're right, and they were like pretty doing pretty well from it.
Speaker 2I forgot about that. I don't know how that business plan works now. Yeah, I'd be interested, can't be good there was someone selling like crochet flowers.
Speaker 1I saw that and I thought, hmm, I feel like you can buy those on Etsy yeah, those weren't from Etsy, or like the farmer's market.
Speaker 2Yeah, wait a minute, I need you to tell me. When we were at the mall, caroline said remember when I moved back from Houston and I was so excited, not moved back from Houston.
Speaker 1When was it?
Speaker 2When I moved here from Beaufort. Okay, she said remember when I moved here from Beaufort and we and Jay just kept going to the mall because we were so excited about living close to a mall and we would visit Bridget at the White Barn. And I said, no, I don't remember that. So please, please tell me what that was about we didn't just, like I probably said, we kept going to the mall. We probably went twice, okay, still a concerning amount.
Speaker 2And we went into the White Barn, for some reason, which, if you don't know what that is, it's directly next door to the Bath and Body.
Speaker 1Works. It's like the MAGA Bath and Body Works.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's like literally just a candle store. Oh it's candles, it's not lotion. It's like Yankee candle but called White Bond.
Speaker 1Gosh.
Speaker 2And we bought fall candles and we talked to this woman that worked there named Bridget, and she talked our ears off, and so then we just like kept referring to her. Okay, we were like oh, bridget, we love Bridget.
Speaker 1Did you buy any candles?
Speaker 2I bought the fall candles. I just told you that.
Speaker 1Oh was it good. Were they good, I mean.
Speaker 2I probably am going to die 10 years earlier.
Speaker 1From the toxins From the toxins.
Speaker 2But it was a good fall candle and I really hope Bridget is still doing.
Speaker 1well, we should have gone to visit her.
Speaker 2If she still works at the white barn, I'd be concerned. Okay, because she was like 77. Oh, that's good for her.
Speaker 1I don't know why I pictured like a 36-year-old woman.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1With like a Karen cut. It was like a retired job.
Speaker 2That's sweet. Yeah, bridget's such a young name for a 70-year-old. Maybe she looked older than she was.
Speaker 1Uh-oh.
Speaker 2Well, the candles will do it to you.
Speaker 1Those toxins?
Speaker 2Oh my gosh. Okay, so that clears that up. I said I do not remember that, yeah, bridget at the White Barn, okay, and then someone else recently was telling us about the Cromers.
Rediscovering the Mall Experience
Speaker 2There's a peanut store in Columbia called Cromer's. It moved around a few times and I'm sorry, but like I just don't understand how a store that only sells peanuts exists. I don't either Like there were. I don't feel like there was any era where, like peanuts were on the up you know what I mean Like where peanuts were like big enough to have a store, maybe when the circus was around back in the 30s or 40s.
Speaker 2It was called Going Nuts with a Z, remember that. But I think it's money laundering. I don't know if we can yeah, we can, they can come clean if they want to, can stand their ground, but I okay, so the chromers was huge, it wasn't just a nut store. It was like it was a nut too. Oh, it was mainly popcorn but even weirder does it?
Speaker 2yeah, because corn goes stale, nuts don't. Yeah, but like in savannah, I remember I went to this popcorn store that had like 18 different flavors oh it, it's a novelty store and you get like a fudge situation, so I assume that's what Kromer's was, especially because here's the kicker. Okay, yes, the Kromer's in the mall. It was originally in the mall. We were just told by some Columbia locals, yes, that it back in the day Kromer's was located in the mall In the 90s.
Speaker 2And it had 80s, no earlier. Yes, it had monkeys, which I'm like. Why?
Speaker 1Why were?
Speaker 2there, monkeys in the mall. Yeah, but so at first they were in cages. Up above like no, I think. Well, maybe up above, but I know that they had to like enclose the cages. It used to be like cages that they could like put their hands out of because they were throwing their food Onto the women Onto the women and they thought it was because they could like smell when the women were Menstruating. Wait, I missed that part.
Speaker 2That's what they were saying and that they would like scream at the women and like harass them and throw shit at them. Imagine just going to buy your popcorn. You just happen to be like Just oh, my gosh. So then they enclosed them in like they enclosed them in glass, I guess, so that they couldn't throw shit at people I'm like, who thought this was a good idea?
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2It's bizarre.
Speaker 1And the fact that Homer still exists.
Speaker 2Yeah, they've downsized. Speaking of monkeys.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2This year, since we've been gone, we also had the Morgan Island incident. Yes, that made national news National news about the monkeys in South Carolina that escaped from Morgan Island. That just so happens to be in Meredith and I's childhood backyard.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2We can literally look at the island from our parents' backyard it was like part of the tour we did growing up where we'd be like that's where they. That's Morgan.
Speaker 1Island, morgan Island.
Speaker 2Where the monkeys live, and I remember my mom telling me when we were young that a monkey escaped and got onto.
Speaker 1Kusaw, they'd swim.
Speaker 2And they had to call not our parents, but somebody had to call animal control and get them like what do you call it?
Speaker 1One that tranquilized, Not euthanized tranquilized but yeah that was wild.
Speaker 2It got national attention and everyone was mad because they were I don't know. I do think there's a lot of mystery around Morgan Island and I think the national attention probably wasn't great. But it's for like scientific wait a minute, because our dog house used to house the food, and so we'd get like pounds and pounds of these bags of monkey food, and me and my cousin Hannah. Oh, you remember this.
Speaker 1Yes, this was like in our time.
Speaker 2I thought it was like back in the 70s. No, me and my cousin Hannah Would eat it. No, no, it looked like dog food and smelled kind of bad, but we would move the bags around because it was like stacked floor to ceiling and build forts with the. It was like we would use.
Speaker 1I remember the bags.
Speaker 2I don't think I knew it was monkey food. Yeah.
Speaker 1Are you kidding?
Speaker 2And Hannah and I built this amazing four out of like monkey food, yeah Weird.
Speaker 1So weird. So that's happened.
Speaker 2We need to do an episode and like go full deep, dive on what they're doing on Morgan Island, Look into it, yeah because Bring it back to national attention. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I'm like I feel like there's gotta be Secrets, secrets, but I also think that doesn't DNR own it. Dnr, I think, owns the island.
Speaker 1I think it's like a government situation. Isn't it owned by the government? I don't know. Yeah, that's SCDNR. Yeah, I don't know, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2I know you guys are on the edge of your seats. Okay, back to the mall. Yes, you know what? The most nostalgic feeling that I don't know that like if you weren't living in this time period, this time period I don't know if that you'll get it, but like I will never, ever relive or find anything close to the thrill of going into a wet seal oh, my gosh digging my dirty hand into the thong bin and finding the tiniest g-string that was like five dollars.
Speaker 2No, no, no, no, no. I think that they were 99 cents no mayor, I'm not kidding. I think it was like the 99 cent thong box, but like we weren't supposed to wear them I picked out my first one on a youth group trip and my mother was our youth group leader oh my god.
Speaker 2And we went in there, the all the girls on the youth group trip went in and bought our 99 cent g-strings and they were so uncomfortable and like, if you like, even walk past a candle, you're gonna catch on fire because of the material. Yeah, it's so flammable. Yeah, but yeah, I mean nothing. Nothing has matched that thrill for me.
Speaker 1And before the wet seal thong box.
Speaker 2It was like the Claire's the Claire's earrings.
Speaker 1Yes, clip-on earrings.
Speaker 2I did. I have taken my kids to Claire's and it hasn't changed at all. Great, it was a great experience. As a kid, yeah, as a mom, it feels like ugh.
Speaker 1Yeah, these are gonna be lost in my carpet in like five seconds. Did you get your ears pierced there?
Speaker 2I did. I got my ears pierced like four or five times.
Speaker 1Yeah, because they kept getting infected.
Speaker 2You know who also did? My husband, keith, when we were, I wasn't dating him, I was dating someone else. He was in college, same mall, like same mall. We went to this past Saturday. We were like at the mall with my present boyfriend.
Speaker 1His like Keith, his roommate.
Speaker 2Yes isn't this bizarre? Me and my boyfriend were visiting my friend, rob. Keith was Rob's roommate. We were like let's go to the mall. We go to the mall, keith goes, I'm gonna get my ear pierced. So we all sat with him and Claire's while he got his ear pierced. That's so random. It was so random. And then when I broke up with my present boyfriend, he literally said the guy that got his. And I was like I really like Keith, me and he. It wasn't like you know, we were like Ending things.
Speaker 2But then when I was like oh, I actually really like Keith, it's over, I'm like I like Keith, I'm going for it. He was like the guy that got his ear pierced at Claire's and I was like hell, yeah, that's the one, my one, and only he doesn't have his ear pierced anymore. No, but the hole's still there. He shaved his head like a year after he got his ear pierced because he had like long hair. And as soon as he shaved it we said nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 1He looked like it's a different vibe maybe be leading some clan meeting.
Speaker 2Yes, it was like an immediate like absolutely not. Yes yes, yes, yes so yikes yep man, I know so lots of memories it's so weird to think that when you were dating keith it was still like the thing to do. Yep man, I know.
Speaker 1So lots of memories. It's so weird to think that when you were dating Keith, it was still like the thing to do, it, wasn't it sure wasn't? Oh, to go to the mall? Yeah, I thought you were saying to get your ear pierced, no, to go to the mall. Probably neither were, but it wasn't as weird Jay loves the mall Because, remember, I worked at the mall when I was married to Keith.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's so you were married to Keith when you worked at Banana Republic. I was engaged. That was almost 15 years ago, so the mall was alive and well then.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Mall Memories and Wet Seal Nostalgia
Speaker 2What happened? Not well, but it was alive. Like the internet, I think, and everyone shopping online. But, like we said, there's really something about going in a department store. Yeah, you know Well, and I just think, like other big cities have just amazing shopping centers.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's what we need, I know, I don't really want to be in an enclosed mall.
Speaker 2I would rather just be in like an incredible shopping center with like some good food options and pretty scenery.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2Like I feel like that's all California is. Yeah. We went to the Grove, which is, like the main, the outdoor shopping center.
Speaker 1In California. Yeah, it was nice.
Speaker 2Yeah, and like I mean, this is Disney.
Speaker 1There was a fountain.
Speaker 2Again, but like Disney Springs. Yeah, the Grove is honestly Disney Springs vibes, amazing shopping, good food yes, like the Grove is honestly Disney Springs, vibes Amazing shopping. Good food yes, like really pleasant experience.
Speaker 1Yeah, all the stores you could need, yeah.
Speaker 2That's what I want.
Speaker 2I know I don't really want to go into a mall anymore, especially with the thought that it could get locked down. And then I'm stuck inside of a Journey's with a bunch of neckbeards. I know, yeah, but we also saw. We, like, went to a couple stores. But Victoria's Secret needs to be studied. Well, there was a documentary on it and how it's like clinging for life. How is it still existing? Because it was like owned by men and it was like all about the male gaze. And then, like Aerie and like all these other people came out and like owned the women, female sector for like lingerie brand.
Speaker 2Because they should, because it's a brand yeah and they like tried to reboot and it was really bad, but they're like they're still bad somehow they never changed yeah, and they're still there, are they? Still, and it's like they're taking up two stores.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's huge, I don't know how that's happening.
Speaker 2I went into there recently. I was like I'm going to go to Victoria's Secret so I can try on a bra in person and it was like stepping back in time, with less workers, Like no one's working there. I really think they're getting robbed blind. Yeah, I knew a girl in high school that would literally you know how they had the little things like the drawers that you pull out.
Speaker 2She would pull out a drawer and swipe the whole thing into her purse, but then she has every size. No, because each drawer Was its own size Was typically Different styles. All the styles are on the top and then the sizes are like there's a small drawer, a medium, drawer, a large drawer, so she, so she would just like take her size and swipe it into the purse. Yeah, I'm sure that was happening, man, yeah, it was depressing. Yeah, it was weird them all kind of.
Speaker 2I mean it wasn't depressing but it was very like let's get out of here. I did this for the, for the one time this year, and then we, we, almost almost ate at a Red. Robin and first of all the hostess, was so unwelcoming which I don't know why I expected more at a Red Robin.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2But she like, didn't even like acknowledge our presence.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2And she's witnessed us trying to scan the QR code to see what was on the menu and it like was a review. We should have left a review. Oh my god, I'm realizing now that would have been funny we should have done that. We went to olive garden instead, which we pushed about is what provoked that? Caroline has like a visceral, visceral reaction to the ipads on the tables yeah, we might have talked about this before.
Speaker 2It's disturbing to me. I don't understand why we need to check ourselves out and look at a menu on like a weird and play games, and play games on a weird table iPad that is, I hated it. So bizarre. Honestly, other than that no notes Great.
Speaker 1The waiters were weirdly hot Like multiple hot. Waiters were weirdly hot like multiple hot waiters, hot waiters at the olive garden.
Speaker 2Yeah, one truly looked like a justin baldoni yeah, like which he's controversial right now. That's something that happened while we were gone oh, I think we all forgot, I know, but yeah. So the waiters were hot. We got the margarita was delicious. They gave us a plastic spoon because they didn't have enough spoons. He was like they're all in the dishwasher right now.
Speaker 2And then I said, okay, I don't really want to eat out of a plastic spoon, but I'll take it. And then he brought a silver one and I thought I want this less now, Because you just told us they were all dirty. So is it clean? Throw them all away, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, and I was gonna want to super toscana.
Speaker 1Yes, I was like that was good.
Speaker 2Okay, samira was like. This is so I've always been a chicken enoki girl. Yeah, well, same and so. But she got that one and I tried it and I was like, oh, this is actually good, but let me find out if it's beef or pork, because if it's beef I'm gonna die. So I asked the server is this pork sausage or beef sausage? She said you know what, if you don't eat one or the other, I'd probably steer clear of it.
Chain Restaurant Adventures
Speaker 1That was a wild answer, and mary goes um. Can you ask in a polite way, yeah, but it was just like respectfully.
Speaker 2Can you find out?
Speaker 1And he said yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2And then he said, yeah, let me look at the iPad on the tape. Yeah, he didn't go to the, which took him so much longer than going to the kitchen to ask. But you know why? I don't think they know in the kitchen.
Speaker 1No. I don't think they know Because they.
Speaker 2Then he looked on the ipad to see the ingredients. He said you know, I don't know, but it says no pork, so I think it's beef so I got so which looks like dog food. Yeah, anyway, we loved it. It was great. I could eat that salad all day long. It was great. Breadsticks great. Yeah, I love the zuppaana.
Speaker 1Yeah, you ventured out. It was great and you found something you liked.
Speaker 2He also talked her ear off about their special yes, compared it to Thai food. That man. He was not hot, no he. I'm just putting it out there.
Speaker 1We didn't get one of the hot waiters. He was a good guy.
Speaker 2We didn't, he was nice, but we didn't get the hot waiter.
Speaker 1No, he was like fine looking, but he wasn't Justin Baldoni. No.
Speaker 2He would have done better at like an Applebee's or like a BJ's. I don't I mean mirror, I've never been to a BJ's. Applebee's, bj's Olive Garden.
Speaker 1Those are all on the same. He was better than Applebee's.
Speaker 2I'm just saying he wasn't cut out for the Italian life. He wasn't cut out for the Italian life. He wasn't Chain restaurants, just really like not. Don't get me wrong, I eat at the Olive Garden once a year. But, also don't get her started, because yeah, you also had a mental breakdown last time we went to a Red Robin. Yeah, because like everyone was coughing and hacking and like on their iPads just felt like wally, like I felt like I was in the movie wally it is like no one was talking to each other.
Speaker 2Everyone was hacking yeah, everyone was on their phones, eating like giant, oversized burgers that came out of a freezer yeah it really stressed me out.
Speaker 2Yeah, I, I know you had a minute. You said I have to leave. Okay, I think we actually have talked about this before, because it was after that Zac Efron movie. Oh yeah, okay, well, anyway, this was so fun. I know you guys missed us so much and you're so happy to have us back and hear us talk about everything and nothing at the same time. And let hear us talk about everything and nothing at the same time and let us know if there's anything that's happened recently that you want us to talk about. I mean, we've got a list and I've been watching a lot of documentaries that I would love to debrief, so we need to add those to the list. Poop cruise I've been telling everyone about poop cruise. Titan, titan oh yes, poop cruise was insane.
Speaker 2Yeah, they're like it was so long and like not that much happened, but like I watched it twice, same, I've watched it twice and I've talked about it to literally anyone that will listen, so like it was kind of impactful all of the people on it, though, seemed unfazed no, that, the one girl seemed traumat.
Speaker 1I think that was just her personality. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2I mean, I think it was traumatized.
Speaker 1The dad was traumatized. Yeah, he felt like he was a bad dad.
Speaker 2It wasn't his fault.
Speaker 1It wasn't his fault.
Speaker 2I mean it is kind of your fault if you go on a Carnival Cruise. But which Carnival Cruise says in black and white on their ticket yes. They say nothing. That happens here is our fault. It might rain shit, yeah, and not our fault, our fault. And you're not getting your money back. That was it was a good documentary, because that was crazy. I know that was the maritime lawyer and his jeans with his fish tank behind him.
Speaker 1Oh my gosh, I loved him.
Maritime Law and Cruise Disasters
Speaker 2The smoking yeah, I was like I want something bad to happen to me. No, I don't, no't, no, I don't. I take that back, but I would like something interesting to happen on the water so that I can hire him. I don't think I ever want to work with him, but I really enjoyed watching him. He seemed like he knew what he was doing.
Speaker 1Yeah, he did.
Speaker 2Also the fact that being a maritime lawyer is like a full-time job'm like which, okay, we can end on this, but okay crazy shit does happen on the water because our father one time was on a boat.
Speaker 1This is sad. Are we ending on this?
Speaker 2a dead lady. Yeah, they had to sit they tied this isn't funny, they had to wait for the cops to come, and so she wouldn't float away. They had to tie her up to the boat but she had like like I mean it is kind of funny but it's sad because she had taken like prescription pills and drank too many martinis on the back of the boat fell off the back of the boat, didn't know no, I think he was napping I think he was taking a nap underneath, maybe I, I don't know.
Speaker 2But yeah, my dad said they were all just drinking their beers on the other side of the boat, leaning so far away, so they didn't have to look at it. Yeah, they said they like saw it floating and like was like what is that? And then they like got close yes.
Speaker 1Well no, they said yeah they're like what is that Then?
Speaker 2they got closer and they're like oh my gosh, it's a body, and they like had to like lift her up and be like oh, I know, so they needed that guy, they need a maritime lawyer I know, I know I bet he, I bet he comes across cases like that all the time. Yeah, I mean I guess, honestly fun job well, and then there was the maritime lawyer for the titan situation too, which was crazy because they, I know we gotta wrap it up, we gotta wrap it up, we got to wrap it up.
Speaker 2There's so much to talk about. We've been gone for a year. Let's talk about maritime law next time. Okay, okay, because I really want. I wasn't.
