Speaker 2:No, because I took my daughter to the mall.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:It was a random trip to the mall. She came into my room that morning and she's like what are we doing today? Mom, it's summer vacation, so this is what I get like every day. What are we gonna do today?
Speaker 1:it's so weird with kids.
Speaker 2:They have to do something every day why can't you just chill and not do anything?
Speaker 1:I have to do something yeah, when we were young, we had boring days. We, yeah, we didn't do much, we didn't have to do something every day and I I'm sorry for sounding like an old man, but you are yeah, I am, and I'm grumpy yes, you are, god, you are yeah, but I mean why? Why do young people have to do this?
Speaker 2:why? Why you do this?
Speaker 1:Why you do this? Why Now, I'm a kid.
Speaker 2:Now you're a whiny teenager. Yeah, what are we doing today? No, their attention must be filled 100% of the time. Yeah, they have to be doing something. So on Saturday it was a random trip to the mall uh around stockholm, the mall of scandinavia which is around the whole stockholm yeah, yeah, it goes around the entirety of stockholm. It's really big and it's really fancy and I, uh, spent too much money, um, and that's it I can imagine I did not pass out this time okay, that's good, because you didn't get a tattoo not that I'm aware
Speaker 2:of that's good. I almost got my nails done, but then I was like nah, I don't feel like the layers of my nails coming apart no, no, I'll pass out I might pass out from the fumes I I was thinking flames, but I think that was wrong flaming nails. I mean, if I'm gonna get my nails done, they better be on fire oh yeah, that would be cool but I might also pass out because I'm on fire.
Speaker 1:Oh, on Saturday I went to the cinema.
Speaker 2:Oh right, that's why I didn't see you Also. Yeah, so I saw. That's also why I didn't see you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you went to the mall and I went to cinema to watch the Naked Gun.
Speaker 2:Okay, just tell me if you liked it or not.
Speaker 1:I liked it. That's it. It was funny. You have to watch all of the movies and then we can discuss it.
Speaker 2:That's why I'm saying you can't say any more.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Because I'm going to also see the movie with my life partner? Yes, at some point, but you have to see the first three. Right, I haven't seen them yet.
Speaker 1:No, so that was that Sunday we were talking about.
Speaker 2:We had an adventure. Oh, of course we saw each other like the entire day yeah.

Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We started off with lunch.
Speaker 1:Yes, and then we got candy, nature, candy, nature, candy it's.
Speaker 2:It was good for us, I guess so. And then we walked a trail. Well no, we went to the square yeah and we got ice cream and we wandered the town a little bit yeah, so uh, do you want to tell your background to this town? This was the place where I was living in the first time I came to Sweden.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when I was visiting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that was before we met. Oh yeah, but we were in the same area at the same time and possibly saw each other.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It is a huge possibility that we saw each other, because I was out a lot and apparently, you were out a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We never knew each other.
Speaker 1:No, no, and it's funny because I showed you where I used to wait for the bus.
Speaker 2:And it was right outside of the apartment.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Which is crazy. Yeah, I mean, come on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's funny.

Speaker 2:Life wasn't ready for us Until later. Until yesterday.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:We walked a trail in the woods.
Speaker 1:We did.
Speaker 2:And we tested out every single bench.
Speaker 1:Yeah, basically.
Speaker 2:And we also got kind of lost.
Speaker 1:We did, and I feel like we have to do that sometime again, because it was one part of the trail that we did not walk and we have to fix that we did not walk Right. And we have to fix that at some point.
Speaker 2:One day.

Speaker 2:Yeah, hmm, did you like this movie?
Speaker 1:I do like this movie. Cool, I think it's a very interesting movie and I do like it. I saw this maybe a little bit too young, I think, because it's kind of violent, especially towards the end. Yeah, um, and it was, uh, at my friend's place, you know, the friend who lived close to me. Yeah, at his place. I saw this movie the first time okay I do really like this one. It's exciting and there are some like, could you call it like twists and turns? Yeah, that I like.
Speaker 2:I thought that his twist on the ransom was creative.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't think I would have thought of that, but it was good. Yeah, it was kind of smart actually.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that is really cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Whenever that happens in the movie, I'm like yes, now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's this part.
Speaker 1:So what do you think about this movie?
Speaker 2:I also enjoyed this movie Like a lot Good. It was a good movie.
Speaker 1:I agree.
Speaker 2:Good Anything else.
Speaker 1:Anything else, I don't know, maybe not. So next movie the Girl with a Dragon Tattoo, the American version.
Speaker 2:From 2011, which was also when I first visited Sweden.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, Full circle here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was 18.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, Wait when did this come out. What.
Speaker 2:When did it come out, the movie? What month?
Speaker 1:I'm not sure about that, sorry, you can look that up.
Speaker 2:I'm going to have to. You don't answer my questions. Oh, December 21st I had bad patients.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:December 21st 2011. I had already been here.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And gone home and gotten pregnant.
Speaker 1:Oh, mm-hmm, congratulations.
Speaker 2:Thank you, it was a boy.
Speaker 1:Oh, would like to meet him sometime.
Speaker 2:You have oh Would like to meet him sometime. You have oh Many times, yeah, too many times.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, so Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Speaker 1:Yes, bad summary of this movie is it's the same story as last week.
Speaker 2:With different actors.
Speaker 1:Yeah, different actors. Yeah, um, it's um an old man who wants this journalist to um solve a case of a missing girl.
Speaker 2:A 40 year old case, that's that's it yeah, and mean yeah, I mean it's, it is the same as the last one. This one, I think, was made a little bit better. Okay, in my opinion, I really just like the opening part, the song and the imagery and stuff in the title. Yeah, stuff Things, and I like the look you're giving me.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But some things were changed. Yes, just slightly, a little bit, but I don't know, I don't know, no, I'm wrong. I can see that.
Speaker 1:Why.
Speaker 2:Because you don't agree with me.
Speaker 1:No, I'm not disagreeing or anything.
Speaker 2:Okay, then you tell me.
Speaker 1:Okay, here's what. I think it's similar to the other one, but yes, it has some changes. I prefer the original one. We talked about that in the movie, that it's weird to see them being in Sweden and talking English, but that's the story and that's how it's told. So that's fine, you know. But I felt like the original one or the Swedish one was, I don't know better. I liked the characters better in that one and I felt like, for example, at the end, a a little spoiler. I'm not gonna tell who, but uh, when the bad guy dies in the swedish one, she's looking at him. She can save him if she wants to.
Speaker 1:She just decides not to do that in this one she never even gets there. So in this one she doesn't really have a choice to save him or not.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because he just died immediately.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I just like to see that in her eyes that she actually decides not to save him. That's one of the things that I like better with the swedish one, and also when we talked about the revenge scene that she gets with the creep like, that scene I think was also better in the other one. I felt like the actor in the swedish one was sleazier and therefore I felt more satisfaction for him getting. I mean, this was also a sleazy one, but I didn't really feel as much of a creep in this one as the first one.
Speaker 1:Maybe that's a good thing, I don't know. And there was a cat in this one.
Speaker 2:I didn't like that. I didn't like that either. I liked the part when the cat was there.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I didn't like the part when the cat was not there.
Speaker 1:Exactly so. I feel like the Swedish one did a good thing in skipping the cat altogether. Things like that that I just like better with the Swedish one.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And there are other things that you said In the Swedish one. We didn't even see his daughter. We didn't know he got a daughter.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:He did in this one. So I'm curious to know which one is more faithful to the books or to the book.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I never read the book.
Speaker 1:Neither did I. But yeah, I prefer the Swedish one.
Speaker 2:This one had Daniel Craig in it.
Speaker 1:It did.
Speaker 2:And Skarsgård.
Speaker 1:Stella Skarsgård.
Speaker 2:Skarsgård.
Speaker 1:Rooney Mara. I think that that was the girl, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think what would have made this slightly better is if Beck came back.
Speaker 1:Hmm.
Speaker 2:Maybe for a different role.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because I kind of liked Skarsgård as the bad guy. Hmm, I think he did pretty good, but I mean, on the other hand, the other guy was also really good, so I don't know.
Speaker 1:I like them both. I kind of prefer the Swedish one better yeah.
Speaker 2:I don them both. I kind of prefer the Swedish one better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know. In this one he also put a bag over the head of Mika, the character.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That felt a little bit scary. That was more intense in this one, so I kind of it was scarier but still more exciting, so that's a plus for this one, I guess. Yeah, we're closer to killing the main character in this one. I also thought about something, about the guy who played Beck Peter.
Speaker 2:Halber yeah.
Speaker 1:And Stellan Skarsgård, stellan Skarsgård Skarsgård. They both played the same character in these movies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they did that. Yes, they did. They both played the same character in these movies.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, they did that. Yes, they did, and they both have led Jönssonligan.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and they both have played the Swedish Hamilton.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, interesting.
Speaker 1:Yeah, fun facts.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So it's like they have similar.
Speaker 2:Like careers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, careers, kind of funny of funny. Yeah, yeah, that was that. Did you have anything else to say about this movie?
Speaker 2:I don't think so. No, all right, would you like to take a break? Let's take a break all right, we'll be right back yeah, and we're back. Hi, welcome to part two. This is the good part. Are you going to fight me?
Speaker 1:I'm going to bite you.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:That's why I opened my mouth.

Speaker 1:With my mouth open.

Speaker 1:fight, I slap. Oh yeah, I hit. I felt that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, did you like it?
Speaker 1:No, it hurt.
Speaker 2:It hurt my eye on the other side. Okay, Matias, I heard word on the street is that you have something really fun for today?
Speaker 1:I don't know if it's really fun I heard it was really fun who's your source? Uh, the hamster, oh yeah, yeah, then you know it's legit yeah because you know, he, he he knows he knows what he's talking about yeah, and he hears everything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all the rumors going around yeah, then he poops yeah, and probably forgets what he heard, but he told me yeah that you have something really fun for today yeah, so we're gonna tell the people what's what might happen in the future. We are currently working on a film project.
Speaker 1:Yes, so we're gonna be actors.
Speaker 2:We're gonna attempt to act, yeah, as ourselves.
Speaker 1:Yeah. We are the characters yeah which is kind of funny yeah, it feels sure, feels like a challenge to me yeah, I don't know how to be myself no, never been myself before no, I don't think you have any experience with being yourself no, that would be.
Speaker 2:Maybe You'd be so full of yourself then, right Like selfish.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Wait what.
Speaker 2:Wouldn't that be like kind of selfish?
Speaker 1:If I.
Speaker 2:Was yourself all the time and not someone else.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, yeah, I think so Would be too much me.
Speaker 2:Do you think that everyone is kind of a little bit schizophrenic?
Speaker 1:Probably.
Speaker 2:Or like a multiple personality, kind of a little bit schizophrenic Probably. Or like a multiple personality kind of disorder.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because, I mean, I act differently around you than I would with, like my kids, I guess.
Speaker 1:Right yeah.
Speaker 2:Or pretty much any other adult.
Speaker 1:So the question is do I get the real you or do I get a fake you? Or is it just the kids that get the real you?
Speaker 2:They get the angry me.
Speaker 1:They get the yeah, okay, yeah, I never get that.
Speaker 2:No, no Okay.
Speaker 1:You're never angry at me.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:You don't dare to be.
Speaker 2:No, I guess not. I don't want you to get mad at me, so why would I do that? I don't know, okay.
Speaker 1:I mean, sometimes you can't really control it. No, I guess not. You're pretty good at controlling it when you're around me, at least.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:I think so.
Speaker 2:Anyway, we're working on a film project and we're going to be acting as ourselves. Yeah.
Speaker 1:But there's a as ourselves, yeah, but. There's a problem there. Okay, more than that, we're going to act as ourselves. Uh-huh, you think you might have a problem acting uh with me.
Speaker 2:Right, I have a tendency to laugh in serious situations, especially when I'm looking at you.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I cannot hold a straight face with you.
Speaker 1:No, so that might be a problem Right when we film this movie. And it's a short film, it's not a feature.
Speaker 2:No, it's a short film.
Speaker 1:It's not a feature no, it's a short film, so, but still, we're, we're gonna try to practice, okay, uh, or you're gonna practice not to laugh all right while acting with me, and I will probably be the one who laughs the most now, since I said that.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm. All right, so what do we have here?
Speaker 1:So I asked Open Eyes to come up with a scene that you know would be a little bit funny, maybe a little bit entertaining. I don't know. We'll see if it's funny or not.
Speaker 2:So it's a scene we're going to act out, and I have to try not to laugh.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Even though your character is a bit eccentric.
Speaker 1:I would say so, okay, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I have the script here as well. It's called the Snackless Journey. The characters include Lauren, which I will be playing Lauren today. I am cheerful but a little absent-minded. Okay, I mean, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It sounds about right. Matias is very snack-obsessed. A bit dramatic about the absence of snacks. Is that accurate?
Speaker 1:I think so. All right, I'm very snack-obsessed, absolutely.
Speaker 2:I think you're more routine obsessed.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I do like snacks, that's true, and dramatic, yep, that's me, so yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So this is what could have happened today.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm sorry Because you almost forgot to buy chips.
Speaker 2:I did. I had to put my bags down after I bought my stuff and I told the cash register lady that I forgot some things. And then I came back with three bags of chips, Like I can't believe I forgot the chips.
Speaker 2:Okay, so, this scene opens in my living room the lights are dim and the tv is set up for movie night. Lauren is lounging on the couch, remote in hand, looking excited. Matthias stands by the kitchen counter opening cabinets, going through my stuff, closing them and then repeating the process in increasing frustration. Honestly, I think the characters are a bit swapped. In a way I feel like you would be the one on the couch waiting for the movie and I'm messing around in the kitchen, but that's irrelevant, because this is not a real story.
Speaker 1:Do you rather want to play Matias?
Speaker 2:No, I don't want to be Matias.
Speaker 1:That'd be funny.
Speaker 2:If I was Matias?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, we have talked about switching roles before, yeah.
Speaker 1:But If you really want to.
Speaker 2:All right, no, no, no. Now I am going to act. Okay, I'm going to say my line while picking up the remote and grinning. All right, movie on this is going to be so good.
Speaker 1:Wait, wait, wait hold on.
Speaker 2:Stop what's wrong.
Speaker 1:We have a crisis, a disaster, a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions. We're watching a movie Matias. What's the big deal? So, turning to her with wild eyes, the big deal is holds up an empty bag of chips.
Speaker 2:this oh uh yeah, that's a little tragic, but there's still time for a snack run later.
Speaker 1:Throwing the bag in the air like it's a broken relic. You don't understand. You can't just play and press play on a movie like this, a movie without snacks. It's like a cake without frosting, a toothbrush without toothpaste, a pencil without lead.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I follow you there. Snacks don't make the movie, Matias. The movie makes the movie.
Speaker 1:You really think that? You think we can just skip snacks and watch a movie? Are we animals?
Speaker 2:I mean, if you're an animal, I guess that makes me I don't know a cool zookeeper.
Speaker 1:No, this is beyond reason. We must have snacks. It's the law of the movie night, the sacred snack law. Otherwise, it would be like watching a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat, but the hat is empty.
Speaker 2:You're comparing snacks to magic.
Speaker 1:Now yes, snacks are the magic. Without them, the movie has no purpose. You think Harry Potter would have defeated Voldemort with no snacks? No, snacks are the real magic.
Speaker 2:Whoa, whoa, whoa. Harry Potter is a wizard, Matthias, not a snack enthusiast.
Speaker 1:Perhaps, but what if I told you that in the deep archives of Hogwarts there's a secret spell that lets you transfigure snacks into magical powers?
Speaker 2:Sorry, dramatic eyebrow raising. Transfigure snacks into magical powers. Sorry, dramatic eyebrow raising. Are you saying that Hogwarts had an underground snack network?
Speaker 1:I'm nodding. Exactly, they didn't call it the Goblet of Fire, they called it the Bag of Chips. This is so weird. They just never told us. But, trust me, the lack of snacks is why Harry kept losing his glasses. It was the lack of snacks, lauren. The lack of snacks.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay. So if we had snacks we could defeat the dark wizard that is the legend of Fluffington's quest. What?
Speaker 1:Fluffington has secrets. He will only reveal them if you got a full snack supply.
Speaker 2:So if we get some snacks, we can unlock the true meaning of the movie.
Speaker 1:Only then.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure we're not going to break the universe just because we don't have snacks. Like we're fine.
Speaker 1:Fine. How can you say that? Do you think the Fluffington legacy is about enjoying the movie? No, it's about snacks, lauren. It's about the crunch of chips, the sweetness of gummy bears, the coldness of ice cream. If we watch without snacks, the movie will never reach its true potential.
Speaker 2:Wait, wait. Are you telling me we're gonna unlock the hidden meaning of this movie with snacks? Are you saying snacks are like the secret keys to the plot?
Speaker 1:Exactly, you got it Sorry.
Speaker 2:All right, all right, yeah, I'm good. Exactly, you got it All right. All right, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1:Exactly, you got it. The snacks are the portal to the movie's deeper meanings. The true flavor of the film can only be experienced with the right combination of snacks.
Speaker 2:That's insane. It's just a movie. The movie itself has meaning Snacks are just snacks. Hold your finger up.
Speaker 1:My broken finger, but that's where you're wrong. Snacks are magic. They're the key to unlocking the movie spirit. It's essence. Without them, the plot will be lost, the characters will falter. Do you really want them? The plot will be lost, the characters will falter. Do you really want that, lauren, do you?
Speaker 2:Matthias, you're seriously overthinking this.
Speaker 1:I'm holding up an empty box of crackers like it's a sacred object. This is a disaster. We're out of everything no chips, no candy, no pretzels, no cookies, nothing. How can I possibly sit through the legend of Fluffington's quest without anything to eat? It's like trying to sail a ship without a sail.
Speaker 2:A ship without a sail. Are we pirates now?
Speaker 1:You're mocking the snackless journey. The snackless journey, lauren, it's a perilous one. Do you want me to descend into despair, to lose my sanity without snacks, to have no sustenance, while Fluffington embarks on his epic quest for whatever he's questing for?
Speaker 2:Okay, okay. What do you want me to do? You want me to run to the store in this state. You see what I'm wearing.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:We'll miss the whole movie.
Speaker 1:Well, why am I?
Speaker 2:not pausing. What movie are we missing, anyway?
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, maybe suddenly points dramatically.
Speaker 2:Okay, you're doing a lot of pointing here.
Speaker 1:Yes, I'm using my finger. Yes, I have an idea.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, what now?
Speaker 1:If I cannot have the physical snacks, perhaps I can summon the spiritual snacks.
Speaker 2:What Squat over the bag of chips?
Speaker 1:Yeah, squatting down on the floor, looking deeply into the bag of empty chips. I call upon the snack spirits, great lord of popcorn, guardians of the nachos, hear my cry. We beseech you.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Grant us snacks. Grant us the power ofeseech you Right. Grant us snacks. Grant us the power of flavor and crunch.
Speaker 2:Okay, it says deadpan Gosh.
Speaker 1:Yes, I'd like to see this.
Speaker 2:The pressure of deadpan. Okay, okay, stop looking at me. Okay, stop, all right, all right. Okay, stop, all right, all right, all right, all right. Now my face is so tense that it won't relax, so I can look at you with a straight face and I forgot my line again. Yeah, are you really chanting to an empty bag of chips right now?
Speaker 1:Yeah, if I chant hard enough, I'll summon them. I can feel it in my bones. The snack gods are near.
Speaker 2:You do know there are no snack gods right.
Speaker 1:Are you sure, are you absolutely certain? You don't think that maybe, maybe the snacks are in us.
Speaker 2:What? What are you talking about? I didn't eat them.
Speaker 1:I'm standing up.
Speaker 2:Okay, let's pretend You're very serious.
Speaker 1:Looking very serious, like I usually do.
Speaker 2:Right when you stand up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what if the snack was never meant to be purchased, but to be discovered within ourselves?
Speaker 2:Are you having a spiritual awakening about snacks?
Speaker 1:Yes, I've realized the snack was within us all along. We are the snack, I am the snack, you are the snack, we are the snack collective.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna pretend to faint dramatically. Oh my god, I think you've gone off the deep end.
Speaker 1:I'm ignoring you. Okay, I can feel it, lauren the crispness of my soul, the sweetness of my spirit, the saltiness of my very being.
Speaker 2:Aw, mattias, you're so sweet. So is this the moment where you hand me some snack-inspired enlightenment, or do I have to pretend I know what's going on?
Speaker 1:Behold, the snacks are here. Should I do that?
Speaker 2:You're supposed to suddenly pull out a bag of unopened microwave popcorn from the pet cabinet?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just did that.
Speaker 2:And hold it triumphantly.
Speaker 1:Yes, the snack gods have delivered.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna grab the popcorn. You're insane, but fine, let's watch this movie, snack in hand.
Speaker 1:Raising my hand as if in prayer.
Speaker 2:Right, okay, ah.
Speaker 1:Ah, thank you, snack gods, thank you for this humble offering. May this popcorn lead us to the true meaning of Fluffington's quest.
Speaker 2:We sit down on the couch, the popcorn is opened and they start watching the movie. Matthias eats a handful and then looks over at Lauren with a smile.
Speaker 1:See, I told you it's perfect now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you were right. This is way better with popcorn. I get it now.
Speaker 1:Leaning back in satisfaction. The true meaning of life is snacks.
Speaker 2:The end.
Speaker 1:Aww.
Speaker 2:Cute.
Speaker 1:Cute and stupid.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I kind of managed.
Speaker 1:I think, yeah, it was, I did okay. Yeah, it was the deadpan, that was the.
Speaker 2:Deadpan is difficult. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:Right now you're doing it fairly well.
Speaker 2:Because now I'm thinking of something else we can do. Okay, but is it going to take too long, do you think?
Speaker 1:What do you want to do?
Speaker 2:Okay, so I want us both to ask open eyes for, like some phrases that you can say in deadpan okay and say them to each other without laughing. Okay, so maybe it could be like I don't know funny things to say yeah, deadpan.
Speaker 1:How many in the list?
Speaker 2:can we do five? Yeah, all right, so we're both gonna try to keep a straight face.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean they weren't amazing, but They'll do They'll do Okay. So do you want to start, or do you want me to start?
Speaker 1:You can start.
Speaker 2:Okay, my first line is I'm not lazy, I'm just on energy saving mode. Ah, what do you have?
Speaker 1:I have I identify as a potted fern between the hours of 3 and 4 pm.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry what.
Speaker 1:I identify as a potted fern between the hours of 3 and 4 pm. Okay, makes sense, right? Don't smile, don't smile, no.
Speaker 2:Don't do that. Don't do that. I have a black belt in overthinking.
Speaker 1:I'd say so.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, stop, no don't laugh.
Speaker 1:Last night my toaster confessed it's in love with the microwave.
Speaker 2:Oh, oh, no Things going on in the kitchen.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Things popped up you know, okay, okay.
Speaker 2:My hobbies include breathing and blinking.
Speaker 1:That explains a lot. What do you mean? I don't know.
Speaker 2:I'm mad at you now.
Speaker 1:I can tell Okay.
Speaker 2:Stop it. What's your number three? Or what I did?
Speaker 1:number three yeah, I can't go out tonight. I'm on call for the alpaca emergency response team that's a very important job.
Speaker 2:Yeah, how often would you say that alpacas are caught in emergencies?
Speaker 1:I'd say three to four times an hour wow, that's a lot of clumsy alpacas. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, I don't make mistakes. I create unexpected learning opportunities.
Speaker 1:Wise words.
Speaker 2:Thank you.
Speaker 1:By 2030, I plan to replace all my meals with interpretive dance Dance.
Speaker 2:You're going to dance instead of eat.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Okay, I put the pro in procrastinate. That was your.
Speaker 1:Okay, cool, I recently decided that gravity is more of a suggestion than a rule.
Speaker 2:Oh, you decided this.
Speaker 1:I decided Okay.
Speaker 2:I think we should do some confessions.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:In the same style. I want to keep going.
Speaker 1:Okay, sure, are you okay with that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay. So I'm going to do five funny confessions. Are you ready?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, I feel like this might be a bit more difficult for me. Okay, because I'm going to make myself laugh. Sometimes I open up the fridge and forget why I'm there, so I take a snack as rent for my time.
Speaker 1:Know the feeling. Yeah, I once pretended to know how to juggle mid-juggle.
Speaker 2:Sorry, I feel like a lot of us have done that. Yeah, sure I can juggle. Okay, I once waved back at someone who wasn't waving at me, so I committed and kept waving until they left. I was waving for a really long time. They wouldn't leave. They kept staring at me, okay, okay 15 minutes later. Still waiting. I'm not ready, I'm still laughing. I told my plants I'd. You don't even have to finish the sentence. Talking to your plants, yeah.
Speaker 1:I told my plants I'd water them tomorrow.
Speaker 2:It's been three weeks oh they're dead now no, that was a sad story yeah okay, I I googled how to boil. No, okay, okay. I've googled how to boil an egg more times than I'd like to admit.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1:I sometimes rehearse arguments in the shower and still lose.

Speaker 1:Yeah, that'll do it. I don't know. I joined a gym just to use the massage chair. I've never touched a weight. Our gym doesn't even have the massage chair. I've never touched a weight.
Speaker 2:Our gym doesn't even have a massage chair.
