Sister Sh*t

hi, welcome to sister shit happy tuesday.
Speaker 2:I'm caroline and I'm meredith, and I said that I was gonna be gone for the next two weeks.
Speaker 2:But guess what, here she is I'm not, I am in italy right now, but, as this is coming out, yes, we recorded this last week and so, in real life, I'm probably drinking a little cocktail next to Mount Etna, I'm probably sitting at my desk. But you just went on a trip, I did. You just went all out in miami. I did, I did and it was great. Yeah, what did you go for? Um went for our 10-year anniversary, which was a month celebrating a month early, and it was very fun. What was your favorite part? Oh gosh, we ate a lot of fish, a lot of fish, a lot of fish. Any whole fish, no whole fish.
Speaker 1:A lot of crudo.
Speaker 2:What's a crudo? Is that a type of fish? It's like a marinated raw fish and it's Jay and I's new favorite food. Is it the same as ceviche? No, because it doesn't really have anything else. It's like a. No, because it doesn't really have anything else. It's like herbs. It's not like onions and all those types of things with it. It's just like Is it cured? Or it's raw fish Thin slices of raw fish in a marinade with like lots of like spices and herbs.
Speaker 2:I love that for you guys. We had it three separate times. It was so good we have a new like raw. I know, me too. I want some. You can't get something like that here in Columbia. You can't. Too far from the coast. I don't trust it yeah. Yeah, you're, you're real, I'm real finicky about seafood. I only eat it when I'm on the coast.
Speaker 1:Which is fair?
Speaker 2:We're not that. This is my thing, though. We're not like landlocked, we're not like in Nebraska yeah Well, and I'm like funky, it needs to be like at a really nice place. Okay, because, like one of the places we went to, you know obviously all the fish they're not catching right off of Miami, but one of the places that we went to said that they flew the fish in daily, oh, which I'm like okay, I can get on board with that. Wait, where was this one of the restaurants?
Speaker 2:oh, in miami flew them in from where. Wherever it came from, I don't know what kind of fish was it? Hamachi, what hamachi? Crudo machi from japan?
Speaker 2:maybe girl, I don't know, I didn't I just said okay, one of mine and caroline's favorite memories like going home is we ran into this guy that she knew. Oh gosh, no, it was a guy. It was the cousin of someone she dated, and by marriage Cousin by marriage, yes, he made that very clear. He said that is not. He said that's my cousin by marriage. I was like okay, we're on the same page. But he said this was the entire conversation. I said oh my gosh, how have you been Good. What you been up to? Working, doing what? Fishing when, everywhere? Catching what Everything? With the biggest smile on his face.
Speaker 1:Just happiest guy in the world.
Speaker 2:Not, he was not like over the conversation being rude. No, no, he was like genuinely happy to be there and just man of few words. I loved it.
Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:I loved that interaction so much. I wonder if he would know where Hamachi is from.
Speaker 1:Probably I don't know if he'd tell us.
Speaker 2:But yeah, okay, so, but I do have a couple things I want to debrief about miami okay, because we stayed at this super, super cute boutique hotel. Okay, I have no complaints about the design. Yes, you were excited about this because it looked so adorable. Yes, the price was right. Yes, and I thought what's the catch? So I'm really excited for this, this update so miami is not cheap?
Speaker 2:no, and really they're. I don't think there is like a catch generally. I don't know if we got special pricing because they knew that this would be happening.
Speaker 2:They should have warned ahead of time I didn't ask details, but we got there and they were like yeah, so our pool, which is like the main cellar, is a rooftop pool with one of the best Miami views, with a bar Very, very cute bar Was under renovation. Yeah, that's 100% why you got it for so cheap. But they should have said like these are special prices because our pool's under renovation.
Speaker 1:And the thing was Is the pool?
Speaker 2:important to you, you maybe you shouldn't come they wouldn't do that though they need a book.
Speaker 2:No one wants to go. No one's gonna stay if there's no pool. But for the price maybe. Well, I know that's the thing is like. So, but how is the room? The room is great. I mean, the design is great. It's a very. You want to share the name in case anyone of our friends is going to Miami soon? Yes, it's called the Esme, that's right. It's very, very cute. The design truly is so good. It's in like a really historic area called Española Way. It's on a street that like no cars drive on. It's just like shops and restaurants Cute, and they happy hour where you get two free cocktails super walk, not cocktails, glasses of wine or a beer um every evening for between five and six Love that.
Speaker 1:They have restaurants.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they have restaurants on site which maybe they were doing that because of the. I should have asked more questions because. So then I heard this girl fighting with the front desk because I guess she complained about the pool situation and they gave her a $120 gift card for dinner. But she didn't realize it was only for $120. She thought it was covering the whole dinner. So she went out and balled out oh no. And then owed a balance Early I know and she was like fighting with them. But I was thinking like like I should have fought with them, but it's not my personality, I just kind of wish it was. Sometimes I think I'd get more stuff, but I they were like yeah it was under renovation because I've known people that like will are not someone to let things go like.
Speaker 2:I've known like multiple people like this where, like if something is wrong, they will not let things go. Like. I've known like multiple people like this where, like, if something is wrong, they will not let it go, but they will like, very politely, get their way. Do you think that? Sometimes I think that's like maybe worse than just being like what the fuck? I?
Speaker 2:don't know why I mean not actually, obviously being polite and kind is always better, but sometimes I'm like, or I mean really intense, like better but, sometimes I'm like, or I mean really intense, like, and sometimes I feel like it's passive yes, I think that's what it is like being passive to get what you want yeah, and. I, that's just like not really me. Like they told me the pool is under construction, I was like oh wait, that stinks, okay, anyways, moving on like yeah sometimes I do in the same way, I would have maybe showed a little more disappointment so that they would offer something else.
Speaker 2:But now that I'm looking back I'm like maybe that's why I got really good prices, which is a win. Yeah, sure, I mean honestly no complaints, and they told us what we could use their sister hotels pool oh, but it kind of looked janky and it was like a 10 minute walk away and I was, I was like eh. I'm not doing that. So we went to the beach a lot. That was like a fake consolation prize.
Speaker 1:They were like no one's actually going to do this. No one's going to actually do this, I know, but Shoot.
Speaker 2:I do, kind of. I kind of I hate those moments too, because I'm never assertive in the moment, no. Or at their hotel dinner place, because, first of all, the food was fabulous.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:I mean, it was seriously so good, the service was amazing. Oh, except for the fact and I really wanted to get your opinion on, this Okay.
Speaker 2:Because we get there early, 15 minutes early, for our 8.30 reservation. Okay, they are so kind, great customer service, walk us into the bar. They're like, hang out at the bar, he's going to take care of you, get some drinks until your table's ready. Okay, they're like we're really busy tonight. We're a little backed up, so just like, order a drink and we'll get you seated as soon as we can. Okay, it's a tiny restaurant.
Speaker 2:Okay, we're like no worries worries at this point we get around to the bar around like 8 20 ish. Keep in mind reservations at 8 30, so we're like no worries, we're early, whatever. 9 15 oh we're like, okay, it's really late. 9 15 9, 15 we're still standing at the bar. Standing standing, no seats. Oh, that's bad and they know it's our 10-year anniversary, oh, and so they're like treating us really nicely.
Speaker 2:They brought us out latkes, or latkes with like caviar on them and stuff which, like personally, I wouldn't have ordered that, but like it was really nice of them. Once we saw the menu, we saw that they were very expensive so we were like, okay, great. So like we, we started to get annoyed and were they like apologizing at any point for?
Speaker 1:the long wait yes.
Speaker 2:And so they brought us out the lockies Lockies, okay. And they also were like hey, this round of drinks is on us. So we're like getting disappointed. And then they tell us that and we're like, oh, no worries, totally no worries. They're being so nice to like fix it for us.
Speaker 2:But Did it at any point feel like I don't want this stuff. I just want to sit down and eat. It keeps happening. So we felt like our whole anniversary dinner was like a roller coaster of emotions. Oh no, because then we sit down at the bar, which, like is fine, that's where they seated you. Yes, like for anniversary, we would have preferred a table. Was it just like actually slammed? It was very busy, okay. Did the servers seem like they knew what they were doing? Well, they were. It felt like you know how, when you watch the bear and they're like all talking in the kitchen to try to keep people happy.
Speaker 2:It definitely felt like that, like mismanaged maybe, or just like nothing you can do about people not leaving. I, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know but I don't know. But so we're being super graceful, though.
Speaker 2:So we're like whatever. So we sit down, we order our food. It's fine, the food's amazing, that's good. We like did appetizers. Then we're waiting for our next meal. It's taking forever. You'd already ordered. Yes, we ordered everything. I love this play-by-play, by the way.
Speaker 1:Sorry, I'm like this is so boring. No, I'm like I'm so invested.
Speaker 2:Okay. So we like ordered everything up front. We said we'll take these first and then this for the main meal. We get the appetizers quickly. We devour it so good. One of them was the hamachi crudo. Okay, Brilliant, Delicious. Okay. Then we're just sitting there like waiting for our food and by this point it's like maybe like 9.45, 9.50.
Speaker 1:No, that's so late, like we're like so tired.
Speaker 2:We'd been traveling that day Like we were, so so tired, that's so late. So then, they finally bring us our food. We eat it. It's delicious.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:We're like, oh my gosh, this was so worth the wait. And they're so kind about it. Yeah, but you're like I wish I was in my jam jams, yes, yeah. So then we start getting there.
Speaker 2:So we finish up our food, I'm like, okay, let's be done, we're so tired, let's get dessert to go, yes, so that we can go eat it in our hotel room. It's taking forever for them to even come talk to us and like no one's looking at us. Was anyone else getting service? Yeah, the people beside us. Okay what? The people beside us came in for their reservation, sat down and finished their meals. Caroline, they effed up. They didn't have your reservation.
Speaker 1:You don't think.
Speaker 2:I think that's what happened. I think they messed up. She saw my name. Oh, she did. I don't. It must have like doubled, like something happened. Yes, because if the person, if other people had oh, the people beside us came and they didn't wait at all, they came and sat down as we were sitting down and finished their meal at the same time as us. Okay, it was weird.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like they were getting their check and we were still waiting there for, like, our dessert situation. So, anyways, they bring us out this dessert and you're like, this is on us and you know what. Come back tomorrow night and I personally want to buy you guys a round of drinks for y'all's anniversary. Like they are being like over the top, nice to the point that we're like, you're like don't even why. Yeah, and this is a like, I used to wait tables, I mean at grouchos, which is not the same but, stirring that big bucket of mayonnaise, big old bucket of sauce.
Speaker 2:I like know the feeling. I was the queen of overcompensating. I forgot shit all the oh, they were naturally overcompensating and I would be like so nice and I could see people in their eyes. People would be like I don't give a shit, I need my food. So it feels this feels too familiar. And we were being very nice. Like genuinely like and that's what we kept saying. We're like it's so hard because we're like getting, we get frustrated.
Speaker 1:I know, but they were overcompensating, and then they're super nice, and then we don't know how to feel they messed up and they knew it and they were trying.
Speaker 2:You know, you guys were nice, we were, but it gets worse, oh gosh.
Speaker 1:It won't end.
Speaker 2:They bring out our dessert and we're like great, let's get the check, let's go, get in our Jam Jams, let's eat this in the bed and watch TV.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my favorite thing to do.
Speaker 2:Happy anniversary, yeah. So then we're just sitting there waiting, waiting, waiting the chef's making you guys something special in the back. After they'd already given us a free dessert, we don't need anything else. Oh, this is bad, Caroline.
Speaker 1:The chef personally comes out.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh and brings us a oh gosh, what's the thing that you like? A souffle, a chocolate souffle with pistachio ice cream and a salted caramel drizzle. It was delicious. I didn't want to eat it in the restaurant, I wanted to go home. Yeah, I was so tired. You could have asked for a box, Well. So they were like asking us how it was and they're like the chef's been working on this. You guys are the first to try it.
Speaker 1:No, no, no way, and we're just like we want to go.
Speaker 2:I think everything they told you was a lie. It was so, oh and, and get this.
Speaker 1:They didn't take off the first round of drinks when we got the check oh that's the worst, and you didn't say and we didn't say hey you guys, we just signed the bill and GTFO'd I.
Speaker 2:Okay, I will say I understand that, because it would have been a whole other thing and we were so ready to go home.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but, and we went through the whole phase of drunk oh no, like had drinks before.
Speaker 2:So we got in there feeling like just just one drink, yes. So then we have two more drinks yeah, waiting for the food then we have a drink eating dinner. Halfway through that that drink, we start fading, oh no. So by the end of it we're like stone cold, sober and over it. Yeah, okay, this is my takeaway about you guys, shh, but I think you do not have to be afraid of being that girl because you did like negative to be that girl.
Speaker 2:I think you could be like a little bit that girl and get what you and stand up for yourself. I know I don't. I'm not good at standing up for myself. I don't think you could be that girl if you tried, I know. Unless I'm drunken. Oh, that's true. I have a personality where, like if anyone hits on meredith at the bar, yeah, she's feisty yeah, real feisty, real feisty, but I just think you can be like this was I need to leave it's taking too long and I'm gonna go get a taco.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean? Oh my gosh, I know. And and I will say I need to be that. I'm going to go get a taco. You know what I mean? Yeah, oh my gosh, I know. And I will say I need to be that I'm talking to myself too, because I'm also that way, and I will say like the food was so good, like we would go back. I can't. I can't deal with the souffle.
Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:It was fine, but I don't even care. I don't care if it was the best souffle you've ever had. We didn't want it. You didn't need it, I know. And you had another dessert too.
Speaker 1:Yes that we put in the fridge and ate the next night in bed. And then they didn't accommodate.
Speaker 2:Oh, and they didn't give us forks in our bags, so we had to eat it with our fingers in bed the next night.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Caroline, what is wrong with?
Speaker 1:them? I don't know, but I would go back.
Speaker 2:Have you looked at reviews? I'm curious to know. I have and it's got great reviews. It's like one of the up-and-coming restaurants in Miami.
Speaker 1:I think it's working out kinks.
Speaker 2:Y'all were just the ones that got screwed, and the Lord blessed them that night?
Speaker 1:They probably were like.
Speaker 2:These people are nice so we're just going to have to bump them Because the other people will yell at us. Maybe or it just so happened that the people they screwed up on were really nice and as a waitress as a former waitress I can say they know they messed up and like I think we'd go back. That's insane and I think we would preface it maybe like hey, last time we waited so long and like kind of had a bad experience, but the food was good enough that we came back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, do you think that that's? I don't think it would make a difference. I don't think it's rude. I just don't know that the people that would be, telling that too would care. I know part of me wants to leave a review, but then I'm like, no, I'm gonna let them, they'll offer you something free that you're never gonna get my gosh.
Speaker 2:it's like the time that j Jay got the raw sandwich from Bojangles. He literally bit into a bow. What is it called Cajun filet biscuit? And it was not put in the fryer. It was just like no, wasn't the outside hot?
Speaker 1:and the inside was frozen. No, oh it was just frozen.
Speaker 2:The biscuit was hot so he thought it was cooked. So he bit into it and it was just batter on a raw piece of chicken. No, caroline, that's so much worse than I thought it was.
Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:I've heard this story so many times, thinking it was like fried, but not fried long enough. No, mare, it was wet-ass batter. No, why did he bite into it? I think because the biscuit was hot. He like, didn't like, didn't like look at it, yeah I guess that is. He was hungry though, but it's like that because then he called to complain. He left a bad review which like obviously he tweeted about it.
Speaker 2:They called him and were like can you please take your tweet down? We're gonna give you 300 gift card to bojangles. As if I was, he said see, that, that's the thing. That's the thing I am not this person, but he could have been like my tummy's hurting a little bit. I think it's knock knock.
Speaker 1:I think I need to go to the hospital.
Speaker 2:I think I might need to go to the hospital. My jaw's getting a little tight. No, that's rabies. I was going to say. That sounds how he could have really worked and some people are out there trying to get their bag and I'm just not that person. I'm like it's totally fine, I know, I think we could use a little bit I need to go more toward, like I need to meet somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 2:I yeah, I mean, we're not even close to the middle. I don't even think we're on the like spectrum, I know but miami was great good.
Speaker 2:I'm so glad we stayed next to this place, not next to this place. Our hotel was in a very cute spot, but there was a strip club down the road that we saw called like Miami something, something I can't remember, but the tagline was full, nude, full friction. Oh my God, so it's a brothel. Oh my God, so it's a brothel. Jay and I were like, wait, what Full friction? Yeah, I guess that means over the pants, like the person dancing is nude and will give full friction, but the other person has to remain dressed, which, like ew, I know I had never gotten into the nitty-gritty of like sugar bear back cooking, but we need to break that down. Me and keith used to live in a weird part of town and it was near a strip club and one. One day the sign said sugar bear, back cooking and I was with no punctuation.
Speaker 2:So we were like this could mean sugar bears back and he's cooking, or it could mean sugar is bear back and he's cooking, or it could there's one more, or it could be code for something, or sugar bears back is cooking. Yes, yes, yes, we didn't know, we never knew. Sugar bear back, sugar bear back, sugar. Sugar bear bat cooking. Sugar bear bat cooking.
Speaker 1:Sugar Sugar bear bat cooking. Oh, it's probably not funny, it's not Well all that to say oh, I also saw Versace's Mansion. How was it?
Speaker 2:You didn't go inside right.
Speaker 1:No, I think.
Speaker 2:I'm going to have to, at some point, book a reservation there because of how invested.
Speaker 1:I am in his murder case.
Speaker 2:Yes, Jay is very, we tried to watch the. Netflix show and Jay like got super weirded out when Andrew Cunanan, the murderer, started doing like heroin and taping people's faces up with duct tape. I mean, that's fair. He's like I don't think this is getting me like excited for Miami. I know you try to make me watch that before Miami too and I was like I don't want to do this. I just wanted y'all to appreciate his mansion. But I guess you can do that without the murder.
Speaker 2:I did a little Wikipedia ink. Yeah, andrew Cunanan was played by what's his name, though? Blaine from Glee, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:And he did a phenomenal job.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, yes, yes. I kind of want to rewatch Glee I did at one point and I dropped off, I think, knowing how spooky it was and like all the like. I think people on that set were like not okay. Yeah, and like worked. I watched the documentary. Oh, I didn't. I kind of forgot there was a documentary. Yeah, the documentary taints it a little bit Because basically the gist of it is like it the momentum was so fast and like they had to cover every topic a teenager could ever, possibly it was like the classic scenario of like every episode, not even every season Like every episode, we have to up the ante.
Speaker 2:And there was a tour and there was a like. It was like they just worked those actors to the bone Poor Cory Monti, I know, like I just don't think that they and like so many people have passed away. Now I know Remember the what's your Name on the Boat? Yeah, I don't want to. I think about that like maybe once a month wait yeah, that show's cursed, yeah, some.
Speaker 2:Well, I just think. I think it's like, do you think? Leah michelle is the witch and she hexed them all whenever they all said she couldn't read I got from the documentary. Was that the director? What's his name? I don't know he's very famous now, but he just was kind of intense as we can tell from like what I just said. But he, I think he and leah michelle were a little bit like not in cahoots.
Speaker 2:But like I've heard, leah michelle is a mean girl. Yeah, like they couldn't name her on the documentary but like everyone was like very clearly talking about like a cast member on the show that like called the shots and kind of had like the director not in her pocket financially.
Speaker 1:Which is so funny, because that's her character on the show.
Speaker 2:I know. Also, do you think she can read? I know, speaking of conspiracy theories, can Lea Michele read? I haven't seen enough footage of her like fumbling to make a call, but I would love to think that she can. I love that theory.
Speaker 1:I think it's really funny.
Speaker 2:But what's his name's her bestie, the guy that plays the king in?
Speaker 1:Hamilton and.
Speaker 2:I'm like what's the deal here?
Speaker 1:I mean, we know nothing about him.
Speaker 2:I know, I think they're probably mean girls. You think Probably. But also, gosh, I was going to say something and I forgot what it was, but maybe it'll come back to me, maybe not, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know either.
Speaker 2:But okay. Well, on the note of vacations, yes, mayor's getting ready to go to Italy? I am Well. Yes, oh, you're in.
Speaker 1:Italy. I'm in Italy, remember, ciao.
Speaker 2:I was looking up things how to say please, how do you say it? I'm testing you Il canto per favore. Oh, that was beautiful, per favore. I'm a little nervous about the pronunciation of all things no no, no, I've read that Italians love when you try to speak their language. Really, I've read that on multiple different like places, the only places like I. The only European place I've been that doesn't yeah is France.
Speaker 1:And they don't give a shit about tourists at all.
Speaker 2:They don't love it. I love that for them. Yeah, I'm like. They're like we don't need you.
Speaker 1:I'm like I don't belong here. I know.
Speaker 2:I don't want to be french, we are french, we are french. We just need to learn french so then we can be like, yeah, we're french, but oh yeah, that's what I was gonna say. I, I like kind of know french enough to like read ish and pronounce ish and like get around a bit and I've never been anywhere that I that's not the case, and somewhere where that's not the case and people are nice because in france they'll just leave you for dead.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've heard that Italians love tourists. They love when you try to speak their language. They also love to help. Don't quote me on this.
Speaker 1:I've never been to Italy I know I'm interested to report back.
Speaker 2:I could be held hostage as we speak by someone right now.
Speaker 1:Oh gosh, don't say that.
Speaker 2:I'll call Liam Neeson. Not that I'll call liam neeson, not that that's correlated with not speaking the language correctly, but actually that brings me to what I was gonna talk about tonight is the mafia, okay, which also we've been. We've been made aware that we messed up last episode and that shriners are not the same as freemasons, and we will do some research on that. You know I won't do research If you want to tell me why please tell me why I'll do the research.
Speaker 2:Okay, maybe. Okay, you want to know some fun facts about Sicily? I sure do. Okay, it is the largest island in the Mediterranean. Okay, it's also where the mafia originated.
Speaker 1:Okay, I did not know that I love this.
Speaker 2:I want to know so much more about mafia and mob stuff than I do I know I kind of want to watch like have you ever watched? What's that?
Speaker 1:oh my gosh all the guys dark saints oh, that's good, that's not mafia it's, it's, it's something it's like irish catholic?
Speaker 2:is that a mob gang? I have no see this is why I need to do my research. Um, and also I'm I have this pulled up on my thing. Okay, um, it has some of the best preserved greek ruins that are not in greece. Okay, wait what? Why are they there? I think like Greek architecture. Oh, okay, from the same time period, but like, not in Greece, and it's where the sonnet originated. And the cannoli. Okay, miss Cannoli and pistachios are supposed to be spectacular. I love pistachios.
Speaker 1:They have a world famous pistachio. I do too.
Speaker 2:Love and you're flying Turkish Airlines. I am pistachios. I do, too, love, and you're flying turkish airlines. I am meredith. Turkish airlines. I could be a spokes girl. Do it if you ever get the opportunity to fly turkish. Take it because warm towels okay. When you arrive and when you are nearing landing, little tur, little Turkish delights scattered throughout your flight. Really, I think I got them twice, but it was a very long flight.
Speaker 1:Like after a meal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it'd come a little bit later. The food was good. You get a whole little. You know, what Turkish delights always remind me of Lion the Witch and the. Wardrobe. It's funny because my nephew is named Edmund after that character and they're always like and he sold his family for Turkish delights. I just remember I'd never seen them before and there's something about in that movie. You're like oh man, those look good, like I might.
Speaker 2:I went to Mandolin whenever I was in Miami which is an Aegean restaurant and I got a Turkish coffee that nobody tried to talk me out of. Okay, Last time Maren and I went there, the server was like you're going to hate this. We're like, no, we want it. And they're like it's really strong, you're going to hate it.
Speaker 2:We're like no we want it, which has also happened to us with a grapefruit drink at a bar here. The bartender was like you're not going to like and I'm going to have to make you something else, so I'm not going to make this for you. And then I was like well, great, we'll just order one, and if I like it, I'll order the other. And he was like great, so then I'll have to make another. I can't just make them both at the same time. I was thinking I don't think you like being a bartender. Yeah, you don't, because you just complained. Guess what. We did like it, so make another one. Even if I wouldn't have liked it, I would have been like I love it, it's my favorite drink. I want four more. I don't like when people try to talk me out of things.
Speaker 1:Me neither.
Speaker 2:But anyways, I had a Turkish coffee. Okay yes, and it came with a little Turkish delight. It was so yummy, I'm excited, yeah. So I have to be wary of mafia Beware.
Speaker 1:And I'm going to eat lots of cannolis. Wait what?
Speaker 2:And pistachios, I was going to say I don't think you need to be that wary of the mafia, I think you'll be okay, yeah, okay. But I was going to ask you you're traveling with our friend Caroline, yes, who is, I assume, a great traveler? She's anxious, oh, she is, she's anxious, oh, she is. She's a self-declared anxious traveler.
Speaker 1:I can be too.
Speaker 2:I was going to say does she know about your history? Wait, what would you say about my history? I mean just that, like that's probably more related to family than it is travel, but Mare has had several monumental meltdowns.
Speaker 1:Yeah, on family vacations. That was family related.
Speaker 2:And I had a baby, yeah, and our older sister was being bossy and my mom was trying to help and I was annoyed when, when, disney, oh, what are you?
Speaker 1:what are you talking about?
Speaker 2:I was talking about disney too, but I didn't know m was involved in that. I thought no, I'm, she wasn't being bossy, she was honestly just like trying to help, had had a schedule, oh, and I was having a Disney moment where I was like I'm going to burn this place to the ground if I don't get something to eat or leave in the next five minutes, which, if you've been to Disney, you know that feeling very well.
Speaker 2:If you're there with children, you have them. But then the sunscreen exploded in the net at the bottom of my stroller and it was like the thick mineral kind. Yeah, I dipped out. I saw you getting mad and mom trying to help. I said I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2:I know it was not a fun moment and looking back, I was deep in postpartum depression so I had a lot of things working against me. Travel in general, I would say I'm like a pretty. I'm a pretty good traveler. I was, just so that you're aware, I was vouching for you the other day because jay was asking if you were a good traveler and I was like, yeah, I feel like she's like the most. Well, not the waiting in lines and all that Like airports suck, but I love being like organized. Same, I love having like all my little things organized and I love like getting there at the perfect time.
Speaker 2:Yes, perfect time. You find your gate, you go get a coffee you come back, you sit, you drink your coffee.
Speaker 2:Yeah, also speaking of traveling, meredith and I went to New York last fall for our bloated reunion, which is like our little friend group, and we parked in the economy lot. But we were too late to be parking in the economy lot and so we couldn't wait for the shuttle and so we just like ran with our suitcases across four lanes of traffic and through a field of pine straw with our rolling backpacks. We were like behind a parking garage, like we were like going in between, like AC units with our rollers.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And we're so like we were dying out of breath. It was so hot, it was so hot. And then we but anyways, I was telling Jay that because we got there perfectly on time, the shuttle arrived we like really did it well. And I was like, yeah, mare and I have had to run across this four lane traffic area before I forgot about that. That was so freaking funny it was. But yeah, no, caroline, she's excited, she is. She's like Caroline, your friend. Yes, oh, yes, my friend. Caroline, she's excited. She's like I'm an anxious traveler. I'm like, okay, that's great, like I've got it all planned out.
Speaker 1:She's going to be fine.
Speaker 2:We're really excited about riding the plane together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, duh.
Speaker 2:Like I'm. So Are y'all going to start y'all's movie splitter? I did that on my way to uganda, and we watched titanic.
