No, Okay, gris Latin.

Speaker 1:

Right, yeah, it's a what that is no.

Speaker 2:

Okay, gris latin Right. Yeah, it's a weird made up language. Okay. Where you would take the first two letters of a word and add them to the end, and then add a Y at the end of the word.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I think, okay, that's cool, so can you tell me a word?

Speaker 2:

No no.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Should we learn pig Latin?

Speaker 1:

Maybe we should.

Speaker 2:

Maybe we should.

Speaker 1:

We have a thing on my mom's side, or her dad and his friends were doing that they had like two words. Then they took the first letters until the first vowel, yeah, and then switched them on the two words.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

So let's say, like Lauren Matias Moron Latias.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

So like that. But they could do it in a sentence. I am tired, I am tired.

Speaker 2:

Tired mired.

Speaker 1:

I am tired.

Speaker 2:

Okay, yeah, all right, all right. That's weird, but okay.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, so that's. That's a thing in my family.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so if they start speaking, whatever that is, then I'm going to be so lost. Yeah. All right, cool then.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to be so lost.

Speaker 2:

Did you see my socks?

Speaker 1:

Just look at my socks.

Speaker 2:

There they are, with ice cream on them. Yeah, that tells me that you like ice cream.

Speaker 1:

Yep, okay, okay, sorry.

Speaker 2:

Sunday, sunday I took my oldest with me to Stockholm area and I got a tattoo.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, it was that day.

Speaker 2:

It was that day I was worked on for about six hours but I needed to take quite a few breaks because it hurt. I mean at first it was okay. I mean at first it was okay. I mean, sorry, the first couple of minutes always hurts quite a bit, just because you're getting used to it. Okay, um, and then I got used to it and I was kind of taking a nap and then I had to pee, so I had to take a break and then I went back into it and oh no, it just hurt, a lot of it hurt, and I kept getting like restless and uncomfortable and it hurt. And so, yeah, I took a lot of breaks.

Speaker 1:

I agree.

Speaker 2:

Thank you.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, I believe you.

Speaker 2:

And, towards the end, was the absolute worst, though, because he kept saying that we're almost done. We're almost done, we're just going to do this little bit. And then he did that little bit, and then he's like I'm just going to do highlights.

Speaker 1:

And I was like, please. God no, stop, it's fine how it is.

Speaker 2:

That's what I said in my head, but on the outside I was like keep going. It's okay. I didn't scream no that was internal okay I was screaming on the inside, yeah some of the sounds are inside, internal yeah and some of it was external.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah not much of it, just a little bit yeah, because I try to hide my pain as much as I can.

Speaker 2:

So usually I sit pretty good for a tattoo or really anything Doctors like me because I don't struggle that much on the outside.

Speaker 1:

Okay, but yeah. What. Are there people who does struggle, I mean, except for kids?

Speaker 2:

I don't know. I know that a lot of people have trouble with needles. Okay. I guess, or don't have much tolerance for pain. Yeah. Much, much. I said much.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I heard that.

Speaker 2:

I skipped the rest of that word.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Those letters were not necessary for this sentence Much. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, what was I saying? So, yeah, we finished up finally, and I got up and I was like really sore but I looked in the mirror and I was really happy and I was dancing with my oldest and everything was good. I got some sugar in me and, yeah, everything was good until he was wrapping me up. My artist was wrapping up my tattoo and I was feeling a little lightheaded but I was like this will go over, I'll be okay, I'm going to fight through this. Next thing I knew I was sleeping. I blacked out and I woke up and I was on the floor.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you fainted.

Speaker 2:

I fainted, yeah, and I saw my oldest was next to me. I woke up for like a second.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And he was there and I was like I'm sorry, Like this is a weird place to take a nap, I know. I looked around and then I fainted again I passed out again and you're like back to bed yeah, I guess so, because then I woke up again and my oldest was holding my legs up in the air like, oh, my legs. It was like, okay, well, I'm assuming this is what you're supposed to do, and yeah, I guess I didn't know, that.

Speaker 2:

No, he wasn't playing with my legs, he was really scared yeah he was freaked out, that his mom passed out and apparently I was shaking when I was on the floor. Um, I didn't hit my head, no, which is what I was a little bit concerned about yeah when I was laying on the floor, I was like my head doesn't hurt, so how did I get down here? Really, apparently, the artist had caught me. He noticed I was starting to go down and he caught me and he laid me down. So that's what happened there. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Apparently, it's really common for people to pass out after long tattoo sessions. No one warned me about that. No. I've never been tattooed for this long.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I mean maybe a couple hours but, that's it, so I guess this is my biggest one.

Speaker 1:

I guess so.

Speaker 2:

And if someone passes out, you're supposed to put their legs in the air. I didn't know that either. I've passed out before A couple times.

Speaker 1:

Have you.

Speaker 2:

I have.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

The first time let's talk about this.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, sure.

Speaker 2:

The first time I ever fainted, I was 17 weeks pregnant with my oldest.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay, yeah, okay.

Speaker 2:

I wasn't a baby. You remember this, I do. Clearly Wah, wah blah. No, I was pregnant with my oldest and we were going to get on a plane. We were standing in line to board a plane it was my mom and my sister and I and it was like five in the morning and I guess I hadn't eaten enough or something, and I was standing there and I was feeling, oh, I'm kind of tired, it's five in the morning, and so I put my head down on my mom and apparently I passed out. Okay.

Speaker 2:

I didn't know. I don't know what's going on. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. I'm still denying it to this day I didn't pass out, I was sleeping, yeah, no, apparently I fainted and we missed our flight and we got another one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah. This time, when you fainted at the tattoo thing, had you eaten, uh yeah, I had already had lunch.

Speaker 2:

I had a salad for lunch and I had been snacking a little bit here and there throughout the day, so I mean, it's not like I was hungry.

Speaker 1:

No, but, and you had enough water and such too yeah.

Speaker 2:

Well, I'm not sure if I was really properly hydrated, but I was drinking water, maybe just not enough.

Speaker 1:

No, okay.

Speaker 2:

But I was so happy when my artist took from another client's candy bag. Oh, yeah. They had candy in a bag and he's like I'm sorry, we need this. And he gave it to me and I was like yay.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the other person was like my candy. Come on, it's expensive here, you know it is.

Speaker 2:

And then he gave me another one and I was like yay, free candy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, then the other person faked fainting.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I need my candy. Yeah, bring it back here. So, yeah, we sat there for a while trying to wait for me to get better, and I got better, so I tried to leave there as soon as I could.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Because I didn't like the feeling that like this is inconvenient for everyone and I don't want to be stuck here all day no I had already been there for a really long time, but uh, even longer since you, since I painted. Yeah, I could have been gone like way before that yeah, what were you thinking? I don't even know if I could plan things better. Yeah, that would.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, how did you get there and did you drive car?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I drove the car, okay, which was why they were holding me there for so long.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And really making sure that I was okay so that I wouldn't pass out while driving.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I get that.

Speaker 2:

And my oldest was really concerned.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Was he checking on you when you drove?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Was he checking on you when you drove? Yeah, yeah, I mean, he was checking on me the entire time we were out, pretty much, oh yeah, but I mean extra much when you drove. Yeah, I mean he kept talking to me.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay, did you find a good parking spot?

Speaker 2:

I did right across the street. Okay, I mean, when we went there I saw that there were parking along the street there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And so I was thinking I'm going to see if I can get one of those spots when I actually go in. And I did, yeah, right across from the door. Cool, I was really close.

Speaker 2:

Good, I had to pay for that parking, though it wasn't free, no, so our spot was better yeah, in that regard yeah, but we were also gone for like the day, but I mean yeah, anyway, I took my oldest to the mall after all that okay because he was very patient and he was very good and he took care of me when I was sick or whatever yeah, I wasn't sick, but I wasn't well and I put him through so much towards the end there.

Speaker 2:

So we went to the mall and he got a new soccer ball and soccer shoes. Okay, good. So, and we went to Espresso House so I could get some extra sugar in me. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I was thinking this is a perfect opportunity. Yeah, I was thinking this is a perfect opportunity. We did that and then we went back home, but he wanted to try out his new shoes and ball. So we went to the football field and I was thinking I've been laying down for most of the day, so I'm going to go for a walk around the track while he plays with his ball.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and that's what we did on Sunday.

Speaker 1:

It was a day. Day, yeah, sounds like it yeah yeah, and I was at home uh editing well yeah, I a lot actually I did I finished two videos that day. Yeah, on sunday very cool monday monday I went to work, but there's a slight change because I got to be in a department I'd rather be.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's nice yeah.

Speaker 1:

So this has been a good week, really good, and I got plenty of steps in.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's good. Yeah, I had a chill day on Monday. I didn't really do much. Okay, tuesday we were bored in the morning, I guess, so we were like, let's go for a road trip. We took a road trip to a nearby city and they had a camping ground along the beach yeah and I hadn't been there since I first visited sweden, because that's where we are yeah, in sweden.

Speaker 2:

I know you knew that all right, I was just updating you in case you forgot, okay. Oh, and maybe first time, listeners want to know where we're from. Yeah, but I've listened before, oh okay well then, I'm not telling you, I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to.

Speaker 1:

No, should I leave yeah.

Speaker 2:

No, I'm not talking to you. I'm having a conversation with the listeners. Okay, it's one-sided, because they're not talking back.

Speaker 1:

No, for some reason, that's what you like in people.

Speaker 2:

I guess, so when? They don't talk back right, but you keep talking. Yeah, I know that's why you don't like me no, that's true. Anyway, we went to this beach and we looked around and they've built quite a bit out there since last time I was there. Okay. They put in a really nice playground and mini golf.

Speaker 1:

Oh, mini golf, I like that.

Speaker 2:

You like mini golf, have we played for.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we did.

Speaker 1:

You and I and your daughter Right Played in that same city.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, not the same course though. No. But yeah, we played on the playground and we walked the beach a bit and we did play mini golf.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2:

And then my life partner was feeling impulsive and my daughter and sick child were there too, so my daughter was planting seeds in his head. She's like can we stay here? They have cabins. So my life partner was like should we book a cabin? I was like whatever, I'm okay with that. And so he was like okay, well, I'm going to book a cabin for the rest of the week, starting the next day.

Speaker 1:

Wednesday.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, that's what we did on Tuesday.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

We went to the place and we booked a cabin.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's not all we did on Tuesday. Yeah, we went to the place and we booked cabin. Yeah, that's not all we did, because we went for a walk.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I went for a walk with you at your place.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

Yeah and yeah, that was it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 2:

It was really warm, it was a very warm walk yeah. The sun was out.

Speaker 1:

In our faces.

Speaker 2:

Directly on us.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, walking uphill with the sun in your face wasn't very fun. No, it wasn't. You're sweaty and there's no wind.

Speaker 2:

No, there could have been wind, but there wasn't Nope, not great.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, we went for a very warm walk.

Speaker 1:

Yes, that was Tuesday.

Speaker 2:

And on Wednesday to this morning. I'm just going to shorten it like that, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Friday morning.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's today, friday, sorry. We were camping in the cabin and everyone went swimming and we played on the playground and we played football and you went for a long walk. Uh yeah, yesterday Thursday. Yeah. Speaking of being impulsive, I wanted to go for a walk. I mean when I visited first, that first time, we walked to the beach, and it's a long walk, it's like an hour and 15 minutes maybe.

Speaker 1:

And I've walked there before minutes maybe, yeah, yeah, and I've walked there before.

Speaker 2:

Have you, yeah, okay.

Speaker 1:

Me and my friend, the one who disappeared.

Speaker 2:

Right. Well, I wanted to remember how to get to the square the centrum Okay, yeah. From the beach, so I went for that walk. Yeah. I went all the way out there and I uh, I went for that walk. Yeah, I went all the way out there and I went into a grocery store when I got to town. Yeah. And I bought some juice.

Speaker 1:

That's good.

Speaker 2:

And I wandered around the square a bit and I originally was going to get some ice cream, but I couldn't because everything was closed.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was kind of late.

Speaker 2:

And so I tried going back and I was using Google Maps to help me get back to the trail, because I took a different route back and it brought me to an industry area where, I mean, sure, I could have gotten back to the walking path, but there was fencing in the way, okay, and I considered for a millisecond hopping that fence, and then I thought at some point, while I'm struggling on this fence, someone is going to walk by and be like she's up to no good and call the police on me. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And all I wanted to do was get back to the walking path. It was literally right in front of me.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But I had to go all the way back and around everything and I mean it wasn't short. It wasn't a short way back.

Speaker 1:

No To the walking path, so the way back was way longer.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I took a detour.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, sometimes you do that.

Speaker 2:

I do that quite often, yeah, I mean you, as in general people do that. Okay, also me.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you're a general person.

Speaker 2:

I guess. So, yeah, I did make it all the way back. I got back to the cabin at like 1130 at night. I was out for three hours, yeah, and I was feeling it. I was sore. Yeah. And then we came back home today, today's Friday yeah, it is July 18th.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, today at work, I don't know if I'm like paranoid or what, because I saw people everywhere. Wow, I'm like paranoid or what, because I saw people everywhere. Wow, and I'm? I'm working at a place where there's hardly ever any people other than me and I'm like there's someone behind me and I'm looking. Oh, that's just a big bag of glue and so you thought that there were people everywhere.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like behind me and when I look, there's this big bag of glue. And then another time I'm like, okay, there's a. No, that's a printer. So I thought all these things items, were people behind me.

Speaker 2:

Are you okay?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, it might be the heat. Yeah it must be yeah.

Speaker 2:

You're like never that paranoid I mean you can be paranoid, but not that paranoid.

Speaker 1:

But what made me feel a little bit better was that our friend, after I told her about me being paranoid with all, that she had a similar experience. Okay, so I'm like okay, good, I'm not the only one.

Speaker 2:

All right, that's so weird.

Speaker 1:

She had a pillar behind her that she thought was a person.

Speaker 2:

Sometimes that happens, though she's not the only one.

Speaker 1:

No, that was me today.

Speaker 2:

Paranoid.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. Okay, so today's Friday yeah, yeah, that was my day at work. Then you picked me up. Yeah, after work, do you have something else going?

Speaker 2:

on? Not really no.

Speaker 1:

Well, you got home from the.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, I came home.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And we chilled. Well, we unpacked everything and then just chilled.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we were all tired, yeah, and then we grilled.

Speaker 2:

We did grill. We had burgers, yeah, and chicken for dinner.

Speaker 1:

It was good.

Speaker 2:

It was, and we sat outside and it was nice, yeah, and then we watched movies.

Speaker 1:

We did.

Speaker 2:

Would you like to movie on?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, let's movie on.

Speaker 2:

I would like to say that tonight's movie night snacks were brought to you by Heather, my sister. Your sister. Who sent in a box of snacks to me.

Speaker 1:

To you.

Speaker 2:

And I got Reese's Pieces, yes, and a coffee monster.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Don't say mmm.

Speaker 1:

I like a monster without the coffee.

Speaker 2:

I like the coffee monster.

Speaker 1:

I like half of it. All right. That's why I said mmm, because if I liked all of it, I would have said mmm.

Speaker 2:

That was a very exaggerated.

Speaker 1:

That's a long mmm.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that was a really big mmm.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay, but I like Monster.

Speaker 2:

That's good. Okay, you deserve that one. It was too loud. We also got weird Pop-Tart bites.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I ate most of those.

Speaker 2:

And the things that did not make it to Friday Rest in peace.

Speaker 1:

Rest in pieces.

Speaker 2:

We had Rice Krispie Treats and a variety pack of candy. It had gushers, fruit by the foot and fruit roll-ups fruit by the foot yeah okay they're basically like gummy sheets. But, um, the fruit by the foot are like more narrow and they're all rolled up, okay. And then the fruit roll-ups are basically the same thing, but they're wider and shorter. Fruit by the foot is about maybe three feet long.

Speaker 1:

Okay, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Which is like a meter.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, that's true and yeah, but I had the Pop-Tarts Bites, whatever.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the Pop-Tart Bites, the strawberry ones yeah.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I like the regular Pop-Tarts better, but they were still good.

Speaker 2:

They made your mouth weird. Yeah, you ate the entire box except for one bag.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean, it was good, uh-huh, it was my snacks. Those were your snacks. What can I say?

Speaker 2:

And they made your mouth feel weird.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, my tongue kind of swelled up, hmm, swelled up.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, swelled up. Swelled up, yeah, so that was kind of weird. Yeah, but then it uh got better good I also got one of my mom's shirts and my baby book and, oh yeah, my mom's coffee mug that my sister and I designed.

Speaker 1:

Oh cool, yeah, that was that yeah, anyhow, we were gonna talk about movies right.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:

Would you like to movie on? Let's movie on. Did I already ask that. Yep Cool, let's do it again. Would you like to movie on?

Speaker 1:

Let's movie on All right.

Speaker 2:

For real this time have you asked that before I'm not sure, but I'm wondering if you're being serious or if you're joking. Yeah, let's movie on now Okay, on now okay. Tonight we watched a couple movies yes one of them was a movie. The other one was also a movie, so I'm gonna start off with the first movie that we watched yeah, you don't want to say their names want or can uh I believe in you thank you.

Speaker 2:

Um, the first movie is called uh, seriously corrupt. I'm wrong, I know that the other one was back. Yeah, okay, so should I say say the titles, let's let people guess okay okay, maybe you should say the titles okay, I'm gonna say the titles not all people are that good at guessing.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

Like me apparently.

Speaker 1:

The first movie is called Shadow Conspiracy.

Speaker 2:

I had the first letters.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and the second movie is called Bäckskartläge.

Speaker 2:

That's a sharp thing yeah.

Speaker 1:

Position.

Speaker 2:

I guess, yeah, situation, a sharp situation.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, situation, situation A sharp situation Sure.

Speaker 2:

Can say that Okay, I'm gonna tell you about shadow concept Conspiracy, conspiracy, right.

Speaker 1:

What was it called?

Speaker 2:

Something.

Speaker 1:

Shadow. I'm just getting cute. I just wanted to say it, so it's going to be easier to.

Speaker 2:

Something careful.

Speaker 1:

Edit.

Speaker 2:

Edit Okay, shadow conspiracy. Yes, I got it right this time. Yeah, okay, this movie has Charlie Sheen in it and he works for the president in some way, and there's this science group of people and they're doing something and they all die um. How do they die? Uh, so this one guy goes in and just kills them all, and then the guy wants, wants to kill Charlie Sheen as well, and so Charlie Sheen has to find out why this guy is killing everyone and trying to kill him too. Yeah, sarah Connor is in this movie.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Linda Hamilton.

Speaker 2:

And she is hanging out with Charlie Sheen. Yep. And Kiefer Sutherland's dad is also in this movie.

Speaker 1:

Donald, yeah, donald, sutherland.

Speaker 2:

That's his name, donald, and you know that one guy, donald. He's in this movie and he also works for the president and the guy from Breakfast Club. Yeah. Yeah, he's also in this movie.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there's been quite a few movies with Charlie Sheen.

Speaker 2:

He was also in Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1:

Yeah and Die.

Speaker 2:

Hard which had Bruce Willis yeah.

Speaker 1:

And movies with Charlie Sheen. Is this one? Money Talks, no Code of Conduct. Feels like it's at least one more, but yeah.

Speaker 2:

And that other one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So that's what this movie is about.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

What did you think about this one?

Speaker 1:

I liked this one. I saw this one when I was a teenager the first time, okay, and I really liked it then. Now I can see maybe it's not like the best movie ever, but I still have a nostalgic feeling towards this movie and sure I can find plot holes and maybe not like they don't do the best decisions in the movie, but you know, I still find it entertaining and kind of exciting and I like the bad guy. He's a good bad guy, he's the bad guy in Avatar.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Stephen Lang, and he is kind of creepy in this one because he doesn't say a word.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

He's just a silent killer.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And yeah, he has those kind of creepy eyes. Mm, mm, mm. Okay, you like that, huh.

Speaker 2:

Um, sometimes no, maybe not. Oh okay, oh depends.

Speaker 1:

No, but I kind of like him. He's a good bad guy, so I do like him as a bad guy in movies. So what did you think about this movie?

Speaker 2:

Um, I'm going to say I like the action parts. Yeah. When things were happening. I like that part. I'm not into politics really. So, like all the talking, the dialogue and political stuff was kind of boring, but the rest of it was good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but I feel like once it gets the pace up it stays kind of fast-paced. Yeah, I mean most of that talk and stuff is in the beginning yeah after the credits yeah so yeah it starts with the killer killing like everyone, and then then they start talking about politics and then after that, it picks up, yeah, yeah so, yeah, I feel like it has a good pace. It's just that.

Speaker 2:

Setting the scene. Yeah, yeah, I mean not a favorite, but not the least favorite either.

Speaker 1:

No, no, that's how I feel about this too. It's a fairly good, kind of good movie. The funny thing is that Linda Hamilton went out to say that she's not a big fan of good movie. The funny thing is that Linda Hamilton went out to say that she's not a big fan of this movie and then I heard that, or read that Charlie Sheen took it a step further and said that he hated this movie.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

So he's really not a big fan of this movie Alright, but I still enjoy it. I'm giving it a big fan of this game. All right, yeah, well, that's them, but I still enjoy it.

Speaker 2:

I'm giving it a two out of four. Okay, that's where it lands on my list, yeah.

Speaker 1:

That's fair enough yeah. So you do your two of four.

Speaker 2:

Well, I was thinking in quarters, Like it's not at the very bottom. So, if it was out of five then it would still be in the two zone.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2:

If it was out of ten, maybe a three, oh, okay, out of 20, maybe a seven. Okay, out of 50, maybe a 20. Okay, that's good In that range.

Speaker 1:

Out of 100?

Speaker 2:

Maybe 30. Okay, I'll put it there In that range Out of 100? Maybe 30. Okay, I'll put it there. Yeah, wow, it's jumping a little bit, it really.

Speaker 1:

I mean it's With a 50, you're at 20.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And then when you double 50, it's just up to 30. Yeah, it's not up to 40.

Speaker 2:

No, no, no, no, that would be stupid. No, that would be stupid. Yeah, Can you tell me about Beck Beck, if you have nothing else to say.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm good about this one.

Speaker 2:

I feel like we should wrap that one up with my rating system. Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1:

That makes no sense.

Speaker 2:

Awesome.

Speaker 1:

Mm. And so the second movie we watched was Beck Skarpläge, and this movie is one of the movie franchise with like 52 movies so far.

Speaker 2:

We could watch one every week For a year, for a year. Yeah, let's not do that, no, we're not going to do that.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so I picked one of my favorites of these movies, number 17. This is number 17. And, yeah, it's one of my favorites. So this one, it's about a mother who's on the run from a guy who beats her up, and her two sons is also on the run with her, and Beck, who's a murder investigator. They find her ex-husband killed, they try to solve his murder and then get like invested in her situation too, and it turns out that the bad guy is one of the cops.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so that's what this movie is about, and the thing is is that it's not just the one case of no, that's true uh, woman abuse. There's two cases and the other one is just kind of on the side, but it ends up being like a B-roll, yeah, or whatever you want to call it. Yeah, like a side plot, yeah.

Speaker 1:

That's about one of the cop's sister who got beaten up by her husband.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Because he noticed that when they go through like a list of victims, yeah, reported victims yeah. And then he sees his sister on that list and yeah starts talking to her yeah, and that's a whole other.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's like a side plot yeah.

Speaker 1:

So what did you think about this movie?

Speaker 2:

okay, I'm gonna say that I did like this movie okay I'm also gonna say that it was kind of scary yeah um, it's maybe not exactly a movie for the light-hearted no because I mean it's a serious situation. Anyone could end up in this situation where they happen to be with a guy who, uh, is all nice to begin with, but once you get tied down to them, they start showing another side, and I mean it could happen to anyone.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And that's the scariest part. I mean, people are unpredictable. You can just like snap in a second.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I mean there's like like with the sister, that plot. It's also about her husband drinking.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. And you know yeah, and he gets abusive while drinking. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1:

And that's also you know. I don't know. It is like you said it's a scary situation and very real situation.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm lucky to have never been in a physically abusive relationship.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Only like emotional mental abuse. Yeah, that's not good either but, and in a way I'm not really sure which one is worse. I mean both are bad, yeah, but I mean bruises, fade, but words can last forever.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2:

But I guess it depends on the damage as well.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

In both cases.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's true, but it was okay, it was good, you said.

Speaker 2:

The abuse.

Speaker 1:

No, the movie.

Speaker 2:

We were talking about the movie I enjoyed it every second of it yeah, the the movie. I did like. I like the movie yeah good, it's, it hits yeah it hits hard, but it's still good yeah, it is kind of exciting it keeps your attention.

Speaker 1:

The whole time. Oh yeah, A lot of these movies, Beck movies is like very talk heavy. They keep on talking a lot.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And this one feels like it has a higher pace. It has some chases and shootouts even, which not a lot of these do. So that's probably one of the reasons I like this one, because it does have a good pace and it has your attention and you want to know how it goes.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I have other movies that I like of this franchise, but you kind of have to watch a few to get the backstory.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

So that's why I took this one, because you don't need as much of a backstory. You kind of get what's happening anyways.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, all right. Good, now you can say that you at least watched one Beck movie.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm happy with that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Is there anything else you want to say?

Speaker 1:

No, I'm good with that.

Speaker 2:

All right. Well then, would you like to take a break?

Speaker 1:

That would be good.

Speaker 2:

Okay, okay, we'll be right back.

Speaker 1:

Okay, we're back, hello, hello.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to tell you something.

Speaker 1:

Okay, tell me Today.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I have something fun for you.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Okay, okay, you remember, I don't know a while ago you something. Okay, tell me today. Yes, I have something fun for you. Okay, okay, you remember, I don't know a while ago like 100 episodes ago was it?

Speaker 1:

no, I don't know. I don't know either.

Speaker 2:

Uh, we did a deep dive on snacks right, and I was thinking we could do a continuation of that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like a part two In a way, in a way.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, another part.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Of this deep dive, particularly because we are going to the cinemas tomorrow.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, do you want to say what movie we're going to watch?

Speaker 2:

We're going to see Jurassic World Rebirth.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and you know what's cool, what About that one?

Speaker 2:

What.

Speaker 1:

It's directed by Gareth Edwards.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

And he directed Rogue One.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Star Wars story. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

We know this now.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we do.

Speaker 2:

So a thought came across our minds. Yeah. And we were just wondering why do we eat popcorn? For?

Speaker 1:

movies. Yeah, why and How'd?

Speaker 2:

that start.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and how did they come up with that?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so today we're going to learn about popcorn, Yay.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

I have a whole history lesson on on popcorn an actual history lesson yeah and then um, why we eat it for our movies how that became tradition, okay, okay.

Speaker 1:

So can I just ask you before we start this all right um. What do you think about popcorn?

Speaker 2:

I like popcorn if it's really buttery.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I love butter. Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, butter is good.

Speaker 1:

It's good for you.

Speaker 2:

I don't like when you get that shell piece cut in your mouth literally anywhere.

Speaker 1:

You know what I mean that round shell piece.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, sticks the stick things, it sticks that round shell piece yeah. Sticks the stick things, it sticks it does stick yeah. I love burnt popcorn.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

And I really like the half-popped kernels. Okay. Where it's still half kernel, half popcorn.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay. Yeah, I mean that's good that someone loves them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. What's your point of view on popcorn?

Speaker 1:

I'm not the biggest fan.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

But I do like them when they're like cheese flavored.

Speaker 2:

Okay, you have to flavor your popcorn cheese. Yeah, with cheese.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's good, I like that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I can see that you would like smart food.

Speaker 1:

I think, okay, yeah, okay, uh, smart food. Yeah, is that an american thing?

Speaker 2:

yeah, okay, it's like pre-popped popcorn with like a cheesy flavor. Okay, I one time fun fact, I mean a funny story, I guess. Uh, I ate so much of that one time that I threw it all up.

Speaker 1:

Oh so yeah I don't eat much of that anymore.

Speaker 2:

No, okay well, also because I'm in sweden, I don't eat much of smart food.

Speaker 1:

No, even when it's available. We do have those cheesy flavored popcorns pre-popped in Sweden too, but I don't know if it's the same thing or if it's, it's no, it's no, no, it's no. I'm gonna try the American ones.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

When we get there. And also we were talking about pizza rolls. I just thought about that.

Speaker 2:

I love pizza rolls.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we're gonna try that.

Speaker 2:

At some point, yeah Good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we're gonna try that At some point yeah, good. Yeah, I just wanted to throw that in. Yeah, pizza rolls.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because I was thinking about that earlier today. Yeah, good, that's happening.

Speaker 1:

So now I want to know the history about popcorn.

Speaker 2:

Popcorn. All right, let's get into this Origin of popcorn.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and this is actual history lesson.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm not making this up?

Speaker 1:

No, no, this is well, it's AI history lesson, so it's not the real thing.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, brought to you by OpenEyes. The origin of popcorn. Okay, it has prehistoric roots.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

So about 5,000 to 7,000 years ago. Wow, popcorn is a type of flint corn, the only variety of corn that pops when heated, due to its hard outer shell and starchy interior.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

The oldest evidence of popcorn was discovered in Mexico.

Speaker 1:

Ay, ay ay.

Speaker 2:

Carbon dated to around 3600 BCE before Christ existed. What's that?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I guess.

Speaker 2:

Oh, bacon, cheese and eggs Okay.

Speaker 3:

All right, obviously. What was I thinking? Religion, no eggs. Okay, all right, obviously.

Speaker 2:

What was I thinking? Religion, no Bacon Breakfast. Fossilized popcorn kernels were found in the Bat Cave of West Central New Mexico In the Bat Cave, not a Bat Cave.

Speaker 1:

The.

Speaker 2:

The one Bat Cave that you can find in West Central New Mexico.

Speaker 1:

Is it where, batman?

Speaker 2:

He was in New York, wasn't he?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, maybe he has a tunnel.

Speaker 2:

Maybe Even older remnants, a thousand years old right Older remnants of popcorn-like corn were found in Peru and were likely used by indigenous South Americans for popping or decoration.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay, and Batman was in Gotham, by the way.

Speaker 2:

Isn't that New York?

Speaker 1:

That's a fictional city.

Speaker 2:

In New York.

Speaker 1:

Okay, sure.

Speaker 2:

I'm assuming.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I feel like a lot of superheroes were in new york.

Speaker 1:

Okay, cool, new york needed superheroes I think they still do okay, so back to the popcorn park new york has a lot of bad guys. Is what I'm saying you know we're going there right, you're gonna piss a lot of people yeah well they're all bad guys.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they're already angry people.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they're all listening to this, right? I think so.

Speaker 2:

Native peoples of North, central and South America, like the Aztecs, zapotecs and Iroquois Okay, iroquois. Oh, okay. Right, they knew about and consumed popcorn, so it wasn't a secret for them. Hmm, it was used not just as food, but also for ceremonial and decorative purposes, such as headdresses and necklaces. Have you ever made a necklace out of popcorn?

Speaker 1:

No, I have not.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Have you, oh, I mean.

Speaker 2:

Maybe. Yeah, necklace out of popcorn? No, I have not. Okay, have you? Oh, I mean, maybe, yeah, I think I've seen them, though probably would end up eating it before it ended up on any kind of necklace yeah, I've seen it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, definitely have you had? Uh, like strawberries on a straw on a straw yeah no, no, what do you mean?

Speaker 2:

like a, like a drinking straw?

Speaker 1:

no like, or like a grass straw oh, oh, uh like uh maybe that's straw why would you put strawberries on a on straw? Uh, I, I, because it's fun, I don't know all.

Speaker 2:

I did that Because it's strong enough to pierce it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay, I guess, and then you can.

Speaker 2:

Like a shish kebab yeah kind of. A stringy shish kebab with strawberries. I've never done that, but it feels like maybe something we should be doing soon at some point. Adventures to pierce strawberries with grass. Um hey hey do you eat the straw afterward too?

Speaker 1:

no okay what do? You do with it, you just throw it on the ground, throw it away yeah okay, it's okay or give it to a bunny, if you have one I guess they might want that they don't eat straw, though they sleep on it if it's provided.

Speaker 2:

They eat hay. Can you do the same thing with hay? You think? Oh. All right. Early European contact 16th to 17th century. When European explorers and settlers arrived in the Americas, they encountered popcorn. Remember that time when I told you about um the first thanksgiving yeah I was the turkey oh yeah they were you the first?

Speaker 1:

they stole.

Speaker 2:

They stole popcorn. Okay, the, the europeans and everyone. They stole popcorn. And the. The Spanish and Portuguese chroniclers wrote about popcorn in the 1500s.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Very interesting thing. French explorers in the Great Lakes region in the 1600s recorded Native Americans popping corn in pottery vessels with hot sand. Oh, interesting Sand Okay. Interesting Sad Hmm. Okay, colonists in North America adopted the practice, sometimes eating it with milk and sugar like cereal. That's gross. Yeah. I'm sorry, but I know that popcorn gets soggy.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

That's disgusting.

Speaker 1:

I mean that's without any help.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

That's like the day after. It's all that.

Speaker 2:

I mean, then again, I don't really like milk in my cereal anyway, just for the fact that it gets soggy. I don't like soggy cereal, I want my cereal crunchy.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so you don't have anything to your cereal.

Speaker 2:

If I were to add some dairy product, it would be yogurt. Okay.

Speaker 1:

Because then at least the cereal it holds its. Yeah, it takes time, yeah, and so you can.

Speaker 2:

I can enjoy my cereal yeah you can eat the cereal. And I like vanilla yogurt, so it's.

Speaker 1:

I win either way, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so I? That's a no from me. Popcorn in America 1800s to 1900s. So in the 1800s it says from hearth to street snack. So I don't know, Okay, Popped over open flames or in stovetop wire baskets, that's usually how you do it. It gained popularity as a street food in cities during the mid to late 1800s and vendors sold it from carts, particularly at fairs, parks and circuses. Yeah okay, in 1885, they invented the popcorn machine.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's cool.

Speaker 2:

Here's a name, okay, a guy.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Charles Cretors of Chicago invented the steam-powered popcorn machine, which made it easy to produce popcorn on the street or at public events, turning popcorn into a national snack. This invitation invention invention also allowed for popcorn to be sold freshly popped in public spaces, helping boost its popularity dramatically.

Speaker 1:

Ha popularity.

Speaker 2:

That's funny.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Here's a whole part that I'm going to skip, because I'm going to talk about it later and I don't want to repeat myself.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

When did people start adding butter?

Speaker 1:

That's a good question. So, You're not going to answer that.

Speaker 2:

I don't want to, okay, okay. So between the 1930s and 1940s, buttered popcorn emerges. Butter was added to enhance flavor and make popcorn more filling. That's a good idea, because it's good yeah. Vendors began drizzling melted butter or margarine directly onto popcorn.

Speaker 1:

It doesn't get soggy, by the way.

Speaker 2:

If you add way too much, then yes, it will, and then it's not that good anymore.

Speaker 1:

No, okay, then it's just a sad popcorn.

Speaker 2:

So, yeah, you have to have the perfect amount of butter.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

It can't be pure butter.

Speaker 1:

No, sorry, that's a real like fingertips chance. Yeah, what's a real like fingertop's känsla yeah. What's that in English?

Speaker 2:

You, just you have to know Lagom, yeah, butter.

Speaker 1:

That's the English word for it. That's the correct term.

Speaker 2:

I think Okay, Just enough.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Movie theaters experimented with butter-flavored oils, which were more stable than real butter and didn't spoil quickly. So it's not actually butter anymore, it's oil. It's flavored oil that ruins it, for you, doesn't it? Yeah, doesn't sound good this is something that we both learned right now. Yeah, never this was a sad moment, never again A very sad moment.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, this also made popcorn smell more appealing, drawing in customers.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, never. This was a sad moment Never again A very sad moment. Yeah, this also made popcorn smell more appealing, drying in customers because it smells good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm going to yell at them next time.

Speaker 2:

That's not butter. Here's a fun fact.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Real butter is expensive and spoils fast, so most movie theater butter is. That's what I literally just said, but it added this as a fun fact. As if I didn't know it yet what I'm going to finish my sentence.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

So most movie theater butter is actually a synthetic oil flavored with beta carotene and butter flavorings. What. I know so sad. In the 1940s to 50s there was prepackaged and home machines, okay, okay. So, companies like Jolly Time and Orville Redenbacher developed shelf-stable popcorn products. Uh-huh Home popcorn makers became popular as well. And by the 1950s popcorn was a pantry staple. So by the 50s everyone had popcorn in their homes. That's exciting.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

In the 1980s a microwave revolution. The first patent for microwave popcorn bag was in 1981. Oh yeah. This is just a few years before some people we know were born. That's 10 years before I was born. Yeah, this is just a few years before some people we know were born.

Speaker 1:

That's 10 years before I was born.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so microwave popcorn is only 10 years older than you.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, amazing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, popcorn sales exploded with the adoption of the microwave oven, so it popped yeah. Popcorn is now popular worldwide, but in different ways. So in the United States we have sweet and savory varieties heavily associated with movies. In Latin America it's often sweetened with caramel or mixed with spices.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

You've had like spiced popcorn, maybe before it might have like chili powder or something on it.

Speaker 1:

Maybe yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm not a huge fan of flavored popcorn. I mean, the sweet and salty like kettle corn is really good, okay, but like sure I'll tolerate the cheese flavor. It's good, I know it's good, but it's not a favorite. Okay, but, and like sure I'll tolerate the cheese flavor.

Speaker 1:

It's good.

Speaker 2:

I know it's good, but it's not a favorite.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I mean for me you can't beat the butter oil, apparently. Okay, but like other spiced popcorns, it's just, it's not. I'm not attracted to it. No. In Latin America. They, yeah, I said that.

Speaker 1:

Fun fact. Fun fact In Latin.

Speaker 2:

America, they often sweeten their popcorn with caramel or mixed with spices. Oh really. Yeah, you are just now learning this. Yeah. In India they have savory spicy popcorn. That's pretty common there. Here in Europe we have a mix of sweet like kettle corn kind of like kettle corn and salted varieties. In Germany sweet popcorn is more popular. Okay. In Japan they have flavored popcorn like wasabi soy sauce wasabi or soy sauce. Okay, not both in one, that would be weird.

Speaker 1:

Mix it all.

Speaker 2:

Like really spicy and really salty. Yeah, that's popular, especially at specialty shops. Yeah. In South Korea they have popcorn with cheddar or caramel, which are favorite movie snacks. Fun facts. Okay, actual fun facts. Oh, I swear, oh, oh, oh Okay. Okay. National Popcorn Day. When is that?

Speaker 1:

Let me guess it should be in the summer, so I'm gonna guess July 15th.

Speaker 2:

No, no, it's not. It's January 19th in the United States.

Speaker 1:

That makes no sense.

Speaker 2:

I didn't decide this. Americans consume about 45 liters or 12 gallons of popcorn per person per year.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Yep, that was that. Yeah, let's see. Now I'm going to tell you about the history of eating popcorn at movie theaters. Oh yeah. Okay, let's see the early days of cinema. No popcorn was allowed.

Speaker 1:

Okay, they didn't allow it.

Speaker 2:

It was just no, it was not allowed, or it wasn't a thing.

Speaker 1:

Hold on all right, Okay, okay.

Speaker 2:

Let's see, in the early 1900s it was the silent film era Theaters were modeled after opera houses. They were luxurious and silent film palaces with velvet seats and chandeliers, Chandeliers.

Speaker 1:

Chandeliers.

Speaker 2:

Chandeliers.

Speaker 1:

That they swing from.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, sometimes if you're feeling fancy. Swingy. Swingy Popcorn was seen as cheap, messy street food and was banned inside. Huh, owners thought it would damage carpets and clash with the refined image.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I get that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, um, also early silent films required reading. So theaters catered to a literate, upper-class audience, not your typical popcorn muncher.

Speaker 1:

Ah, yeah, that's okay. Yep, I understand yeah.

Speaker 2:

Ah, yeah, that's okay.

Speaker 1:

Yep, I understand.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay. 1920s Popcorn was already a street hit. By the 1920s, popcorn was a cheap portable snack sold at fairs, circuses and street corners. As moviegoing became popular with the working class, crowds brought popcorn in from vendors outside the theaters. And then the smart vendors set up right outside cinema doors, capitalizing on long lines.

Speaker 1:

Smart.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, some vendors made deals with theater managers to sell it inside the lobby for a cut of the profits. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. All right. In the Great Depression, popcorn makes a cinema staple, so like the 1930s.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Popcorn was cheap. To buy A bag of popcorn cost five to ten cents.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's pretty cheap.

Speaker 2:

I would say so, Making it one of the few luxuries people could still afford during hard times. It was cheap to make because theater owners discovered they could make a lot of money selling popcorn more than from tickets, and there was no electricity needed. Early popcorn carts were steam-powered so they could operate without major retrofits. What no steam-powered that's fun, what?

Speaker 1:

no, it's just I. I can't really. It feels like um such a electric thing to me yeah you know, you know, steam powered it. It feels like a locomotive.

Speaker 2:

Locomotive, yeah that thing, yeah Like a train, like a train.

Speaker 1:

You know, choo-choo, here comes the popcorn. Choo-choo, choo-choo, here comes the popcorn. Like a train.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, let's see Like a crane. Yeah, let's see Forward-thinking theater owners began installing popcorn machines in their lobbies to capture the profit directly. One of the first to do this was Samuel Roxy Rothafell.

Speaker 1:

Not L Jackson.

Speaker 2:

It was not Samuel L Jackson, could have been but Samuel Rothafell.

Speaker 1:

Oh, yeah, rothafell.

Speaker 2:

I always mix them up. Yeah, he was a famous movie showman who embraced the idea of selling snacks at theaters okay and then with the arrival of talkies, uh, in 1927, starting with the jazz singer that's right.

Speaker 2:

Films no longer required reading. This opened theaters to a much broader, less literate public, which embraced popcorn as a perfect, affordable treat. Enter buttered popcorn. Yes, within the 1930s and 40s, to increase appeal, theaters began adding butter or butter or butter flavored oil to popcorn. The smell of warm buttered popcorn became a marketing tool, drawing people in from the street.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's actually not butter, it's oil.

Speaker 2:

It is oil which is sad. It's sad that we learned this. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Sad news. It's a sad episode.

Speaker 2:

It is. We've all been lied to. Yeah, television comes around. So in the 1950s tv led to declining theater attendance that's when it started. Popcorn moved into the home first via stovetop kits than microwave popcorn in the 1980s, but still theaters held on to popcorn as their number one concession, keeping the tradition alive.

Speaker 1:

Have you ever tried? You know, popping with foil, Yep.

Speaker 2:

Over the campfire.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, or on the stove, Yep, yeah, okay, yeah, we used to do that or on the stove.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, we used to do that while we were camping, huh.

Speaker 1:

I never done that.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

I only did the, or we in my family only. Either we bought the cheesy kind or we popped it in the microwave. Okay, in the bag, yeah, yeah, that's the only ways we done it, the microwave.

Speaker 2:

Okay, in the bag, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

That's the only ways we've done it Okay At home.

Speaker 2:

All right, maybe we'll have to try popping it ourselves.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Could be fun.

Speaker 1:

Maybe In foil In foil yeah, cool. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So to summarize, so basically why we eat movies? We don't eat movies.

Speaker 1:

You're not supposed to do that, so why do we eat movies?

Speaker 2:

We consume the movies, we don't actually eat them.

Speaker 1:

No, we eat the movies and we watch the popcorn, right, Right.

Speaker 2:

I think so.

Speaker 1:

That's how I do it.

Speaker 2:

Why we eat popcorn for movies. How this became a tradition was basically because it was a cheap snack that was easy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Easy to make and it was cheap and it was yummier with the butter oil.

Speaker 1:

And it smells good.

Speaker 2:

And it just stuck. Yeah, really, it was fun, affordable and profitable and became a classic part of going to the movies. Yeah, really, it was fun, affordable and profitable and became a classic part of going to the movies.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean just the smell alone.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

When you go to a cinema you can smell that, and that alone just makes it a special thing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, sorry for interrupting you.

Speaker 2:

All right, now it's your turn, okay.

Speaker 1:

My turn.

Speaker 2:

We're done with popcorn.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Uh, you can do this one. Oh, okay, teach me Pig Latin.

Speaker 1:

Is that Pig Latin?

Speaker 2:

We said that we were going to go through this later, and it is now later.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so I'm going to read all of this.

Speaker 2:

You're going to read what you want to read.

Speaker 1:

Basic rules of Pig Latin. All right, if the word starts with a consonant, move the first consonant or consonant cluster to the end of the word. Then add a, a, a. Okay, so examples Dog is ogday.

Speaker 2:

Ogday.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm, smile is aislesmay and glove is ugly Ugly.

Speaker 2:

Ugly.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

Funny.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Two if the word starts with a vowel, A-E-I-O-U, just add way or yay to the end of the word.

Speaker 2:

How do you know which one?

Speaker 1:

Oh you can. It's like examples Apple, apple way or apple yay.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1:

Apparently not. But then eat, that's eat way.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

It doesn't say yay. So and orange is orange way.

Speaker 2:

Orange way Okay.

Speaker 1:

Take the orange way. It sounds like a street. Yeah, where do you live? Orange way, orange way, mm-hmm. Okay, take the orange way.

Speaker 2:

It sounds like a street.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, where do you live, orange way.

Speaker 2:

Punctuation and capitalization.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's decapitation.

Speaker 2:

And decapitation.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, what you said punctuation and.

Speaker 2:

Capitalization.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I also said that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, stay in, we just cut it out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, stay in, we just cut it out. Yeah, both of those stay in place. Hello, and that's aloha.

Speaker 2:

Aloha, aloha.

Speaker 1:

Huh, my name is Sam. It's I-M-A-A-M-A-S-A.

Speaker 2:

This is really confusing. Okay, so let's see. Should we practice this? Do you want some words that you can translate into Pig Latin? Okay. Okay, it says cat.

Speaker 1:

At K.

Speaker 2:

Banana.

Speaker 1:

Anana Bay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, school.

Speaker 1:

It's not Ulske.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it is Ulske Elephant, elephant way, yeah, okayie, yeah, it is Oolskie Elephant.

Speaker 1:

Elephant way yeah.

Speaker 2:

Okay, umbrella. It starts with a vowel.

Speaker 1:

Umbrella way.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, train.

Speaker 1:

Aintray, or is it?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh, okay.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so I kind of got the gist of it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, here's some tips on how to speak it fluently. Okay. Say a sentence in your head and then translate each word, one at a time, using the rules, and then speak it smoothly. It's more about rhythm than grammar. So if you'd say, do you like popcorn?

Speaker 1:

You'd say Wow, yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2:

All right, so let's do some sentences.

Speaker 1:

So a question.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Are you ever gonna use this?

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 1:

No, okay.

Speaker 2:

Unless you want to have secret languages.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Okay, if I say some sentences in pig Latin, can you translate it to English?

Speaker 1:

I can try.

Speaker 2:

Okay, well, the first sentence I just did, so I don't want to do that one again. Okay, is they? Is way imay atkay.

Speaker 1:

Is it my cat?

Speaker 2:

This is my cat.

Speaker 1:

This is my cat, okay.

Speaker 2:

Okay, next one.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

All right, is my cat, this is my cat, okay, okay. Next one. Okay, all right, e way our way. Oingay otey e thay ark pay we are going to the park yeah yeah okay, ooyay ooklay erry vay ice nay o day tay. Am I going too slow or too fast?

Speaker 1:

No, I'm sorry, I don't.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:

All right, cool, that was fun right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Okay, good, I'm glad that you enjoyed that. Maybe, I don't think I could ever do that fluently.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

Swedish is hard enough.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

All right, how are you feeling?

Speaker 1:

I'm feeling good.

Speaker 2:

Is this good?

Speaker 1:

I think we're done for today.

Speaker 2:

All right, bye. As we near the end of the episode, please tell me what is ruining your life so I have thought about this.

Speaker 1:

You know, on Spotify I have a specific playlist that I like and I have not. I mean, it's not the one you made for me, it's another one, one you made for me, it's another one, okay, that someone else made so and I was like, okay, this is good. And then I listened to that, you know, as it is not like shuffled, okay. And then you know when the list is playing, I know exactly what songs are coming and everything. So when one song ends in my head, I start the other one, yep, and then that person changes the whole list. So it's like random, it doesn't start on the right song and it's all messed up and I'm like, no, yeah, and I don't like that.

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 1:

I want to go back to the other one. I mean sure you can add songs, but do it at the end of the list.

Speaker 2:

Right yeah.

Speaker 1:

So that has messed up my week.

Speaker 2:

You don't mess with a good playlist.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

You know, I'm kind of like that, except with actual albums. They don't change.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

Like ever, if you put a CD in the CD player, the same songs are going to play in the same order.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's how you want them to play.

Speaker 2:

And so I memorize the songs in that order.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So usually if there's a song in another playlist that I know the album very well, I'll usually start singing the next song and then it's a different song.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and that messes with your head a little bit.

Speaker 2:

I think it's kind of fun knowing the next song in the album.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But I mean if I know that the playlist is on Chapel.

Speaker 1:

That's what I want.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

For it to be the way it's supposed to be. I guess it's my OCD. Oh my God.

Speaker 2:

All right.

Speaker 1:

Don't you think?

Speaker 2:

I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Because I feel like it's the same as me eating my sandwich the way I eat it.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Because I want to eat it a specific. If someone else came in and just did it all wrong for me it would be distracting and I wouldn't like people touching my food either.

Speaker 2:

But you know no, but sometimes I do that. Sometimes I just take your food without asking.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you do. That's a different story. It's a whole different issue. That's because you're hungry.

Speaker 2:

I'm hungry and I don't care. It was with an arm's reach.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean, I feel like it's the same thing, just with songs maybe yeah, so I. If the food thing is about my ocd, this is too okay so I'm gonna say that okay I can always blame my ocd, all right, uh, so what's ruining your life?

Speaker 2:

it's warm and I can't really go swimming. Okay, that makes me kind of sad. Yeah, basically, I mean I can take showers, but I can't spend the entire day in the shower.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's basically it.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

I don't think there's much more I can complain about, so yeah, yeah, are we about done.

Speaker 1:

Are you out of sips?

Speaker 2:

I can complain about. So yeah, yeah Are we about done.

Speaker 1:

Are you out of sips? I'm out of sips.

Speaker 2:

I guess I'm all out of sips as well.

Speaker 1:
