Speaker 2 2:15

I am a bit jet lagged. I think I didn't sleep for my last flight. I just landed this morning. We'll see this episode could go either way. I could fall asleep or I could kick back up.

Speaker 1 2:28

Yeah, please don't fall asleep, because then I have to do all the talking again and people don't like that. People don't like that, I think.

Speaker 2 2:39

I liked it. I think you did a really good job. I think you're the only one who. Well, I really appreciated you picking up the slack for the past couple weeks.

Speaker 1 2:50

Yeah.

Speaker 2 2:51

I'm gonna have to play catch up with the social medias and stuff.

Speaker 1 2:55

Yeah, because.

Speaker 2 2:55

I haven't done anything, but I'm gonna get onto that at some point in life.

Speaker 1 3:00

Yeah, I've been editing a lot. It was kind of stressful last week and we got an episode at least.

Speaker 2 3:09

Speaker 1 3:37

Yes.

Speaker 2 3:37

I'm going to start off with Death Becomes Her Mm-hmm. Okay, this is a movie with Bruce Willis, although I didn't recognize him so well. He was a completely different character than usual.

Speaker 1 3:48

Yeah.

Speaker 2 3:48

And Meryl Streep was in this.

Speaker 1 3:50

Yeah, who was the other girl, goldie Hawn?

Speaker 2 3:52

Okay, well.

Speaker 1 3:53

Oh, she's so funny, I like her.

Speaker 2 3:55

All right, I've probably seen other movies with her yeah. What else has she been in?

Speaker 1 3:59

Foul Play.

Speaker 2 4:00

No.

Speaker 1 4:01

Bird on a Wire no.

Speaker 2 4:02

I love that movie Overboard.

Speaker 1 4:04

No, what's the military one? Gij, no I've seen that one Private Benjamin.

Speaker 2 4:11

No Saving Private Ryan.

Speaker 1 4:13

No Something with a private I don't know. Yeah, she's in the military some.

Speaker 2 4:17

No.

Speaker 1 4:18

Have you seen the Christmas Chronicles? Maybe she's Mrs Claus, okay, kurt Russell, have you heard of him?

Speaker 2 4:25

Maybe yeah there are a couple. Oh, okay, so you don't know movies?

Speaker 1 4:34

I guess not. No, sorry, this is why we're doing this. Yeah, yeah, that's true, but the movies I listed, most of them, we're gonna watch.

Speaker 2 4:40

They're on the list.

Speaker 1 4:41

Yes, all right Bird on a the wire.

Speaker 2 4:43

that's a good one okay, we will watch that at some point yeah so meryl streep and goldie hawn, they die and because they took a potion thing, poison potion so that they can't die, but they do kind of die they stay young forever, right kind of. Right Kind of. And then Bruce Willis is, he's like a mortician.

Speaker 1 5:06

Yeah, In the beginning he's a plastic surgeon.

Speaker 2 5:10

And then he turns into a mortician yeah, and Undertaker oh yeah, something like that. And then he has to keep them looking nice because they're dead.

Speaker 1 5:21

Yeah, inside.

Speaker 2 5:23

What else?

Speaker 1 5:24

Yeah, I mean it's like a love triangle In the beginning they don't know about the potion thing, about the other one, you know. So yeah, and he helps them stay fresh, so and they need him to take the potions so he can keep helping them for the rest. Yeah, for the rest of time.

Speaker 2 5:48

I like this movie. I thought it was really funny.

Speaker 1 5:50

Yeah.

Speaker 2 5:51

And I like Meryl Streep. She's really good.

Speaker 1 5:54

Yeah, I like her too. I like all three of them actually. And I like the director, robert Zemeckis Okay, he made a movie called Forrest Gump. Oh, I love that movie. Yeah, he has made some good movies back to the future have you seen, I like that one too yeah, he made those what did you think about the movie?

Speaker 1 6:14

I really like this movie very funny. It has some funny visual effects in this movie. Yeah, very interesting. And I think Bruce Willis makes very funny, you know, out of his comfort zone, not what we're used to seeing.

Speaker 2 6:37

He's not the action hero.

Speaker 1 6:38

No, he's like a.

Speaker 2 6:40

He's a nerd, nerd, yeah. So unlike him.

Speaker 1 6:43

Yeah, I think it's funny. He did it well he did yeah, next yeah, okay, yes next the next one is called the jazz singer from 1927. This is the first musical ever ever. Yeah, full-length movie, musical movie in the movie when they are singing. I mean, they do have sound when they are singing, but they don't have much of the speaking sounds. There are some though Some yeah, yeah, like if he's talking. That's why I said not much.

Speaker 2 7:21

If he's talking during a song, then he'll be speaking.

Speaker 1 7:24

Yeah, like in between singing yeah.

Speaker 2 7:27

But everything else, you have the dialogue on the screen.

Speaker 1 7:31

Yeah, I don't pay that much attention to what's on the screen when they do that, so you know the dialogue on the screen. So it's a bit difficult to keep up for me. Yeah, I think I know the basics or like the general storyline, but I don't the details are foggy yeah, I didn't pick up on all the smaller details, but the movie is about a boy who gets whipped by his. Is it a dad? The?

Speaker 2 8:06

bearded guy. Yeah, his dad is like a rabbi or something.

Speaker 1 8:10

Yeah, or a cantor. Yeah, something religious, jewish. And so he gets whipped by his dad. He tells his dad, if you whip me, I will run away. And so he does the boy. He runs away because he got whipped, because his dad, if you whip me, I will run away, and so he does the boy.

Speaker 2 8:27

He runs away because he got whipped, because his dad ignored him.

Speaker 1 8:30

Yeah, okay, and the dad whipped him anyway. So the boy runs away, uh, anyway, anyway. And then we cut to, like a few years later, when the boy is an adult and he's like a singer, uh, jazz singer, huh I guess I mean that's the title yeah, I'm assuming it was jazz.

Speaker 2 8:54

Now I get it ah, that explains a lot. Yeah, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 9:00

what do you mean? So what? What happens next? He meets a girl and oh yeah, they are going to New York, right?

Speaker 2 9:11

Yeah, which is where his parents are.

Speaker 1 9:14

Yeah, broadway, yeah, they're going to take their show to Broadway. Yeah, and it's like at the train station. I was so confused. He's talking to a guy about a ticket to New York, yes, and then the guy fixes the ticket to him and he screams like New York Broadway Right in the other guy's face. And then the train leaves and the guy just keeps dancing behind the train. I don't understand, he can't get on. The train leaves and the guy just keeps dancing behind the train.

Speaker 2 9:45

I don't understand he didn't get on the train.

Speaker 1 9:48

No, he just shakes the hand of the people on the train and keeps dancing behind the train.

Speaker 2 9:56

Yeah, we must have missed something. What we must have missed something?

Speaker 1 9:59

Yeah it was very confusing. Yeah, it was very confusing, so that was like the most confusing part of this movie for me. But I guess, like I said, I didn't get all the details Later on. His dad is very sick. Spoiler alert he's dying.

Speaker 2 10:20

You're gonna spoil the movie.

Speaker 1 10:22

You did. It's almost 100 years old. Yeah, know too soon. Yeah, it's not even 100 no, it's not.

Speaker 2 10:31

You can't just spoil a movie like that, yeah if it's over 100, that's, it's okay yeah, it should be fine. Yeah, because we're just to assume that everyone's seen it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 10:43

Okay, so the dad is dying and his mom wants him to meet his dad, but he wants to sing and for some reason he wants to sing in blackface.

Speaker 2 10:57

Very strange.

Speaker 1 10:58

Yeah.

Speaker 2 10:58

That part I wasn't too sure about.

Speaker 1 11:00

No, it did really not age well at all.

Speaker 2 11:04

No, no.

Speaker 1 11:05

So yeah, it would be very controversial these days.

Speaker 2 11:09

Yeah, you can't do that.

Speaker 1 11:11

No, absolutely not. So yeah, he's like no, I want to sing. I don't care about the dad, because the dad Was mean. Yeah, he was mean. He didn't look that mean, though I thought he looked like a nice guy until he started whipping the boy but that was in the beginning, so yeah that set the tone for the movie. Yeah, yeah, true, but I mean he really didn't look like a whipper. Some guys look like jerks and they should play those parts like I didn't really look. He looked too nice to be a jerk.

Speaker 2 11:49

Yeah, I didn't buy that okay, are you gonna tell the ending to? Or?

Speaker 1 11:54

sure I can tell them if you want me to well, you've got in this. Okay, you're almost there okay, so he decides that he is gonna respect his father by singing the religious song thingy. You know, you know what I mean? Uh-huh, what would you call it?

Speaker 2 12:15

I don't know.

Speaker 1 12:16

No, okay, the religious song thingy. And when he does that the dad is like now I have a son again, and then he dies. So the son, by singing that religious thing, he kills his dad. That's what happens, and I guess the dad is some kind of sort of a peace in peace, you know. So he dies in peace, but still he kills his dad.

Speaker 2 12:45

Yeah, I guess In a way that's not good. No.

Speaker 1 12:49

So he's a racist, he's a killer. And's not good. No, so he's a racist, he's a killer. And I don't know. When he sings his face is all creepy. He looks so creepy when he sings, I don't know why.

Speaker 2 13:02

That's how a lot of these old movies look. A lot of the faces are pretty creepy.

Speaker 1 13:08

Yeah, I don't know why Is it?

Speaker 2 13:10

because it's black and white maybe if it was in color, then maybe yeah, and maybe because you know all the actors are dead so that doesn't help no, that makes it kind of eerie and this movie came out in 1927 yeah. So the adults were born in the 1800s.

Speaker 1 13:31

Yes, which?

Speaker 2 13:32

is really weird to me.

Speaker 1 13:33

Yeah, and I mean even if there's like a baby in this movie they're probably close to death. Yeah, that person is almost a hundred years old. So, I don't know if there are many people alive.

Speaker 2 13:47

No, I don't think so. No, probably not.

Speaker 1 13:50

Maybe I should say what I thought about this movie.

Speaker 2 13:52

Please tell me what you thought about the movie. Okay, yeah, 20 minutes later.

Speaker 1 13:58

I thought it was boring.

Speaker 2 13:59

Yep.

Speaker 1 14:01

Very boring and I did not really like it that much.

Speaker 2 14:07

I'm glad we watched it for the sake of just watching it.

Speaker 1 14:10

Yeah, I mean it's like a classic, so it's history.

Speaker 2 14:15

Yeah, so it's not even Movie history, it's not even just a classic, it's history.

Speaker 1 14:20

It's both.

Speaker 2 14:21

Mm Fine, be that way.

Speaker 1 14:25

Yeah.

Speaker 2 14:26

Yeah, but um yeah, no, I didn't like it that much either.

Speaker 1 14:31

No.

Speaker 2 14:31

No, I was also kind of falling asleep.

Speaker 1 14:34

Mm-hmm but.

Speaker 2 14:35

I'm also tired.

Speaker 1 14:37

We're both tired.

Speaker 2 14:38

Yeah.

Speaker 1 14:39

So yeah.

Speaker 2 14:40

You slept last night Four hours Mm. That's more than I got.

Speaker 1 14:44

Well, uh, from Sunday to Monday I got less than one hour.

Speaker 2 14:50

You're crazy. I worked the day after.

Speaker 1 14:52

You should have stayed home and it was a long day. You should have stayed home and I felt like crap the whole day.

Speaker 2 14:58

Yeah, I bet you should have stayed home, but you finished up at one. So what were you doing between one and 4.30?

Speaker 1 15:04

Trying to sleep.

Speaker 2 15:05

Why couldn't you sleep?

Speaker 1 15:06

I don't know. It was warm, oh, and I was turning in bed and then my arm started to hurt.

Speaker 2 15:15

Your arm.

Speaker 1 15:16

Yeah, and I'm like do I have the tunnel thing?

Speaker 2 15:19

Oh my god you have carpal tunnel. Yeah, I don't know, probably not. No, but Was your hand sleeping, your entire arm sleeping.

Speaker 1 15:29

Yeah, it hurt like in my entire arm, you know. So, yeah, it wasn't nice. And also a lot of thoughts. When you can't sleep, that's when you're starting to think about that. You can't sleep and you have only that much time to sleep until you have to get up, and that does not help at all no, that's awful.

Speaker 2 15:54

And then you start getting stressed.

Speaker 1 15:56

Yeah, while you're trying to sleep, yeah.

Speaker 2 15:57

Because you're not sleeping. It's not good. No, matias.

Cheers.

Speaker 2 17:11

I ate like half of the Reesereaths pieces while you were gone it's okay okay I'm kind of like full so I'm surprised you like them yeah they're peanut butter. You don't even like peanut butter I mean they were good.

Speaker 1 17:27

Maybe not like favorites, but I definitely eat them because they were good. Maybe you can tell the people where you've been these past couple weeks.

Speaker 2 17:40

Yeah, I feel like I have some explaining to do. Yes, I'm going to be honest, you did kidnap me. I was trapped in a closet for a while.

Speaker 1 17:51

Well, I told you not to say that no all right.

Speaker 2 17:57

So a few weeks ago my mom passed away. It was very sudden and um. The only family I have in the states uh, closest to my mom who are still living are my sister and my uncle, my dad's brother yeah, so how close are they to your mom's place? Um, my sister is about an hour or so okay from my mom and my uncle varies sometimes he's right next door and sometimes he's in Florida or in the Philippines.

Speaker 2 18:34

Since everything was so sudden I had to pretty much drop everything and go take care of my sister. So I asked her when she said pretty much as soon as possible and I booked a flight and I left. So this happened before I could give any preparation to the podcast.

Speaker 1 18:54

Yeah.

Speaker 2 18:54

Yeah, and, like you were amazing, you picked up all the pieces after me and it was great. And my life partner picked up the pieces with the kids and the family and everything, and I had a good friend cover my gymnastics classes for me, which was amazing. I was in panic mode. So I went to the States for a couple of weeks and I helped clean out my mom's house a bit and we took care of some legal business and we had a memorial service for my mother. Everything went really fast. But during these weeks, adventures happened. So although going out there was really sad for sad reasons, I tried to make the best out of it. I met some cousins that I've never met before yeah, I hardly knew they existed Mm-hmm. And I met some old friends and met their babies for the first time and that was really fun. I enjoyed that, yeah.

Speaker 2 20:05

It made me miss my own babies.

Speaker 1 20:07

Yeah.

Speaker 2 20:07

And I went to restaurants that I like and ate lots of food that I like.

Speaker 1 20:13

Yeah.

Speaker 2 20:14

And I went to restaurants that I like and ate lots of food that I like.

Speaker 1 20:16

Yeah, but I also worked a lot Okay. Yeah, so the food was it as good as you remembered it?

Speaker 2 20:35

wasn't the same restaurant as it was before, yeah, but um, it was still good it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but it was still good.

Speaker 1 20:40

Yeah, I mean, a lot of things happens in like 10 years yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 20:42

well, the last time I was out there, I think it was christmas of 2018. Okay, how many years is that?

Speaker 1 20:52

Six.

Speaker 2 20:52

And a half maybe.

Speaker 1 20:53

Yeah, or five and a half. Maybe Five and a half yeah.

Speaker 2 20:56

Yeah, A lot happens within five and a half years, yeah, so yeah, let's see what happened. So a couple days into my trip, one of my mom's dogs decided to dart out into the woods and she must have ran halfway through the woods. It's a pretty big forest and we were running for quite a while.

Speaker 1 21:18

Yeah.

Speaker 2 21:19

And I was not thrilled, no, but I did catch her eventually and I ended up getting a tick on the back of my neck.

Speaker 1 21:27

Neck tick.

Speaker 2 21:28

Neck, tick, tick, neck, tick, neck. But I had someone, a really really nice person, help take out the tick, yeah, that's good I survived it's good with nice people yeah, I got a little nervous because it got really swollen, but apparently it bit me a couple times, okay. So it bit me and then it stuck to another part of my neck yeah, yeah, yeah, the same happened to me. With your leg.

Speaker 1 21:54

Yeah, with my thigh.

Speaker 2 21:55

When you went to the vet.

Speaker 1 21:56

Yeah, yeah, exactly, and it was really swollen.

Speaker 2 22:00

Yeah, yeah, it was okay.

Speaker 1 22:02

Yeah.

Speaker 2 22:03

It wasn't really itchy though.

Speaker 1 22:05

But Was it or wasn't it? It wasn't for me.

Speaker 2 22:08

I was just feeling because I was a little nervous. Yeah, just trying to check on it. Maybe a couple days later there was a big storm. It went really quick though.

Speaker 1 22:18

Yeah.

Speaker 2 22:24

Like all the rain just kind of came down at once and the wind, and like I looked out my window and everything went white for a minute and then everything ended. But I lost electricity, but it was still daylight, so I was like, okay, well, I can work, at least until it gets dark.

Speaker 1 22:37

Was that when you were watching the movie? No, that was another time.

Speaker 2 22:41

Yeah, that was when the battery just kind of died.

Speaker 1 22:44

Okay, so it wasn't like the electricity.

Speaker 2 22:48

No, it was the computer battery. It was a laptop.

Speaker 1 22:51

And it wasn't plugged in.

Speaker 2 22:53

It was, but the power stream wasn't very strong. Huh, okay, it wasn't keeping up.

Speaker 1 22:59

Okay.

Speaker 2 23:00

It was a bad cord. Ah, okay, you know. So I worked until it started getting dark and then I got a little freaked out Because I mean, my dad died down the road and then my mom's boyfriend died in her bed and then mom died in the driveway yeah or right off the side.

Speaker 2 23:21

So, um, we've got three pretty close deaths to the house yeah so I was like I don't know if it's haunted, but I'm not going to find out, not right now. So I called a really close friend and I was like, can I come sleep over?

Speaker 1 23:38

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 23:39

Can I like take a shower and just sleep there where you have lights, because I mean, sleeping at the house by myself wasn't a problem as long as I knew I had lights and everything. But, once it got dark it got a little scary. So so I went and slept over at my friend's house and it was good. I didn't sleep very well, but I did sleep.

Speaker 1 24:00

Okay.

Speaker 2 24:00

And we lit some fireworks, which was really fun. My mom had left a lot of fireworks. One of my cousins wanted to set some off. I was like you know what, go for it. Yeah, and there were some really big ones, so he set them off. I was like, let's stick to the smaller ones. Yeah, because I mean, it's a sunday evening, people are trying to sleep. Yeah, although it's legal technically, I think I was nervous about the neighbors yeah because one of the neighbors doesn't really like my mom, so I was expecting police to come up the driveway.

Speaker 1 24:37

Yeah, I didn't want that. No, and if it was like a Sunday, maybe they start working on Monday. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 24:47

So I was like you know what, let's keep it down to the smaller ones for now. Yeah, but it was still nice, yeah. So I was like you know what?

Speaker 1 24:51

Let's keep it down to the smaller ones for now. Yeah.

Speaker 2 24:52

But it was still nice, yeah, and I think he took the rest of them home with him. And then there were cows. I'm going to tell you about the cows even though I already told you.

Speaker 1 25:02

Yeah, I'm going to tell the people about the cows. I heard about them today.

Speaker 2 25:06

Well, you get to hear the story again. Yeah, on recording, mm-hmm. There was one night my sister and I had some drinks and we had a little fire.

Speaker 1 25:19

Yeah.

Speaker 2 25:20

And so, yeah, we got kind of drunk. We were talking, you know, deep talk, like you do when you get really drunk.

Speaker 1 25:27

Yeah.

Speaker 2 25:28

Suddenly or not really suddenly, the fire died out eventually and it got pitch black and I heard something out on the lawn I can't see anything. I started panicking because I've seen bears out there. I was like there's a bear out there and we're going to die.

Speaker 2 25:46

She's like no, it's a deer. So I started calling out for the deer. Um, we have a deer in the woods named mitzi named after my mom's old dog. Yeah, because, um, mitzi the dog had run out into the woods and my mom came out and was calling for her and a deer came back to her. She's like no, not you. So the deer like ran back in and so she kept calling and the deer came back. It was like the deer's name is Mitzi.

Speaker 1 26:15

Yeah.

Speaker 2 26:15

So I was calling for Mitzi the deer.

Speaker 1 26:18

Yeah.

Speaker 2 26:19

And it sounded like it lifted its head. Whatever it was, lifted its head and looked at me. I was like yeah, it must be a deer. So we started going towards it and my sister took out her flashlight and it was a cow. Yeah, there were actually two cows and a donkey munching on the grass in the lawn, so it was a cow also called mitzi I guess so, but turns out the cow had a different name. Oh, it just responded. Probably just thought why are you yelling at me?

Speaker 1 26:49

oh, that's. That's not my name. Maybe it's like a second name.

Speaker 2 26:54

Maybe, yeah, the cow's middle name.

Speaker 1 26:56

Middle name yeah.

Speaker 2 26:59

So there were two cows and a donkey that had wandered over to our yard from across the street.

Speaker 1 27:07

Sounds like a good sitcom Two cows and a donkey.

Speaker 2 27:12

And we were thinking like, should we just leave them there? Are they ours now? Should we bring them back? And I was like no, we have to go. Let them know that their animals are over here, the neighbors, you know.

Speaker 1 27:25

Yeah.

Speaker 2 27:26

So we went up there and drunkenly told them that their animals were over at our place, and they came over and got them and brought them back, and then my sister and I decided to go out into the field behind the house and stare at the moon.

Speaker 1 27:43

Yeah, it's nice.

Speaker 2 27:45

It was very fun, it was an adventure.

Speaker 1 27:48

Yeah.

Speaker 2 27:48

I mean, we used to go out and play in this field like all the time, because the house that my uncle lives in is actually my great grandmother's house, so we would. The field belongs to the family.

Speaker 1 28:03

Yeah.

Speaker 2 28:03

So we would go out and play and stuff. Okay, yeah, during these couple weeks I don't know if you noticed from the past couple episodes, but my voice has been really weird. Yeah, I lost my voice for a few days and it's slowly, slowly coming back. You know what I remembered? There was one time my mom brought me to the doctors to check me for allergies and the doctor like injected a few different specimen into my back, like dogs, cats, mice, other just samples, not actual not the entire dog.

Speaker 2 28:43

Come on, stop looking at me like that no. No, just like like the fur or something.

Speaker 1 28:50

I don't know. Okay, I just. I pictured like a cat head and a dog head.

Speaker 2 28:58

No, oh my gosh, you know like you know what I mean Cat dog, it's not cat dog, it's not a cat dog head. Oh my gosh, you know what I mean Cat dog, it's not a cat dog, it's not a cat dog situation. No, okay, have you seen the show?

Speaker 1 29:10

Cartoon.

Speaker 2 29:10

Network.

Speaker 1 29:12

Some of it.

Speaker 2 29:12

Okay, it's so weird.

Speaker 1 29:14

I didn't have it when it was on.

Speaker 2 29:17

Okay.

Speaker 1 29:18

But my friend did. Usually when I was at his place he had like the tv on in the background and he was like talking to me. But I focused on the tv.

Speaker 2 29:30

I was so interested in what he had yeah, I still get the theme song stuck in my head. Yeah, anyway, I was getting tested for allergies.

Speaker 1 29:39

Yeah, distractions.

Speaker 2 29:41

Yeah, I didn't respond to any of them except for the mouse, but only slightly. And while my mom was living in her house, the house got infested with mice. So having an abundance of mice or mouse DNA, fur and poop and everything, it was gross. My allergies responded to that, even though I'm only slightly allergic. There was a lot, so I responded a lot so that's why I sound weird.

Speaker 1 30:20

Because of allergies, okay, because of allergies.

Speaker 2 30:21

Okay, mm, I'm pretty sure the episodes before I left I wasn't sounding great either, because I had a cold and then I started getting better, oh yeah, and then I got hit with another cold. Yeah, and then I left while I was still like recovering from that cold.

Speaker 1 30:35

Yeah.

Speaker 2 30:36

And then these allergies. I lost my voice. It's kind of back, but I still kind of sound like a man.

Speaker 1 30:44

Yeah, will you ever be back to normal?

Speaker 2 30:46

No, no, this is me now. My voice just is gonna sound like I've been smoking for a really long time.

Speaker 1 30:53

Yeah.

Speaker 2 30:54

This is my permanent voice. Get used to it. I can't actually laugh out loud. I like like whisper laugh. No, I just no. No, I don't do that either. No, I just I whisper laugh. Okay, okay, okay. What else did I do while I was gone? We had the memorial service and my sister made me talk.

Speaker 1 31:30

Oh.

Speaker 2 31:31

She gave me like a quick summary of what I was supposed to say.

Speaker 1 31:35

Okay.

Speaker 2 31:43

But with everything else on my mind, I didn't write out a script in my head of what exactly I wanted to say. I had like little parts here and there of what maybe I would say yeah. But I didn't say that. Of course I was really hoping that she would speak first, because she had something kind of prepared.

Speaker 1 31:55

Yeah.

Speaker 2 31:55

But when we were called on to speak, she was like you go first? Well, I was like I'm not ready, but I stood there and I said some things but like my brain wasn't really there. I was just like saying words and trying to talk as loudly as I can, given my situation.

Speaker 1 32:15

It was good enough, though, yeah.

Speaker 2 32:18

So I was told at least Okay.

Speaker 1 32:20

They said that, yeah, it was good enough though. Yeah, so I was told at least okay. They said that yeah, it was good enough.

Speaker 2 32:23

It was good, you did good. I was like all right? I hope so, because I don't know what I said and it's really felt like I was standing there rambling, but my words were really spread out because I was trying to think of the words I was going to say.

Speaker 1 32:40

Yeah.

Speaker 2 32:41

And that's how I was talking the entire time, Like one word at a time. Okay, and her speech was it better she had a poem she was reading, oh, and then she was like I want to play a song now. Was it limerick? No, oh, my God, that would have been funny. I should have stood there. I have nothing prepared, but let's do this. Hello and welcome to Roasty, toasty, ghosty Lauren and.
