Speaker 2:It's been a while we're back welcome back oh, I love that song, like my sunglasses, I do they almost look like they're what you don't, don't lie, no, I do yeah, they look good.
Speaker 1:Um, uh, they almost look like a ai generated second time somebody told me I was ai this week.
Speaker 2:That means I'm perfect with a flaw. So I ordered these sunglasses a month ago because we had a wedding to go to last weekend and the glasses were local. So this is the new Timu-like thing they tell you that they're local, which means that they're already in the US. You don't have to wait for the overseas shipping, you don't have to pay the tariffs, they're local. So three days before the wedding, it said that my glasses were in Pittsburgh. These were going to be perfect for the dress that I wore were in Pittsburgh. These were going to be perfect for the dress that I wore. And then come to find out the day of the wedding somehow my glasses, which originated from California, were back in California. So they showed up today and I love them. I don't want to take them off. But I'm also mad because they weren't here for the wedding. They would have been perfect Anyways. Because they weren't here for the wedding, they would have been perfect Anyways, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Speaker 1:Sing the Jem theme song.
Speaker 2:Jem is truly outrageous, truly truly, truly outrageous. Whoa whoa.
Speaker 1:Jem. What was her friend's name? What was her dark-skinned friend's name?
Speaker 2:Jazz?
Speaker 1:I have no idea, I don't know, but one year for my birthday I got two of them.
Speaker 2:I know you did.
Speaker 1:We talked about this Did we?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I got two of them and I was not happy. Who would be? Who would be?
Speaker 2:I did love Jem growing up, but I only bought this shirt because I know that my husband thinks she's sexy. It's like in that movie, Pixels with—.
Speaker 1:Lady Lisa.
Speaker 2:Lady Lisa yeah, so Jem is Scott's Lady Lisa. That Lisa yeah, so Jem is Scott's Lady Lisa. That's so funny.
Speaker 1:Really, I think you're putting on thoughts of yourself. Lady Lisa, I'll love you to the end of time. Who are you talking to? Nobody? No, but you talking to Nobody? No, but I used to watch it in the morning. I remember watching it like in the mornings it was on for some reason on USA, when they were like playing it or whatever that was called back then. I think it was USA.
Speaker 1:The USA station was around back then, yeah, yeah, it's like one of the original OG cable stations. It's like TBS. You know what I mean. Tbs has been around forever too, and TNT it's the original OG. It's like the NFL when they talk about the, the original, how many ever teams? Are there Like the original 12 or they do that in hockey. There's like the original eight or whatever. Whatever it is, I don't know the numbers, but Were the Philadelphia Steagals the originals.
Speaker 1:Steagals? Yeah, no, because remember they did that because of the war, so they just combined them, so they were already the steelers and the eagles okay and then they uh just combined for that like one I don't know, with a year, whatever it was the stegals speaking of the steelers, we got some Steelers news last week. Did we?
Speaker 2:Didn't we.
Speaker 1:Oh, aaron Rogers, I feel like that was weeks ago.
Speaker 2:I know time is both standing still and moving quickly, so we have not recorded. Since April it's been a while and I like it I think we are going to take a two-month break every year, to just kind of cool our dead. Yeah, yeah, I like it. It has been two months and I like having that two-month break. It felt like I was able to I don't know do some mini projects around the house. Well, we did.
Speaker 1:I mean we were doing some big comedy shows. We were putting on a comedy show, a couple different ones, we had a lot going on plus, let alone the fact that we were getting ready to move to Nashville.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we were getting ready to move to Nashville, so much so that I had my hair and makeup room half packed Like. All that's sitting out right now is the stuff that I use daily and take with me to travel. I have all my stuff boxed up because we were moving to Nashville.
Speaker 1:And then not only that, but like we had a list of play in Nashville. And then not only that, but like we had a list of places. We were driving around looking at places, like legitimately, not just browsing on the internet we were down there boots on the ground.
Speaker 2:And we found some very, very lovely homes in like Mount Juliet area, which I just love that area.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we were all about it.
Speaker 2:I'm not saying we were stalking Nate Bargetti, but I mean.
Speaker 1:I mean more Dusty Slay, but yeah, exactly. We were going to get him at the bread store, the bakery.
Speaker 2:We were going to stalk him at the bakery we were going to get him, get him, but anyway. So, yeah, let me back.
Speaker 1:Go ahead, I mean get him, but anyway, um. So yeah, let me go ahead.
Speaker 2:I mean, well, no, let's back up a minute because, um, some people know that this is coming and I want to do it real flashy. But let's back up, because the last couple things that we talked about on the last show I feel like were forever ago and we haven't done anything with any of that. So the last show we talked about Galena Truffle, who is on Facebook. Her father may or may not be the Zodiac Killer. I'm going to do a deep dive on that. I keep saying that, but I have to like, just really get into it, and now I think I'm set up to do that. You don't think he is?
Speaker 1:I don't think he is. I mean, I'm all about listening to it and going down, but it's just. I've been down this rabbit hole before. The Zode, the Zode, I love it.
Speaker 2:So we haven't looked at that. We started talking about Treasure Hunting. We watched that Forrest Fenn documentary. I am still convinced that Forrest Fenn is probably DB Cooper, but I don't want to bother his family.
Speaker 1:We have not looked dove that either.
Speaker 2:No, we didn't buy the book, but that could be.
Speaker 1:I do think that. I do think that.
Speaker 2:There's a new treasure out there somewhere waiting to be found, and we haven't even bought the book. Meanwhile, your brother is like nine steps ahead of us.
Speaker 1:And there's already another. There's another big treasure. I talked to you about that. I didn't even know about before that. There's a whole nother thing. There's people out there just doing these treasure things, man, and it's good treasure, buddy.
Speaker 2:What's it? My brother put up a really cute Facebook post today and I it just like. It hit me in my heart.
Speaker 1:It was so true, you're never too old to.
Speaker 2:Look on the backs.
Speaker 1:Look on the back of old pictures. What was it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're never too old to look on the back of old pictures for treasure maps.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, I can't remember if it was pictures or paintings, paintings, paintings, paintings. Have you seen my painting? Did Tommy tell you about my painting?
Speaker 2:I love it. So yeah, so we haven't done anything with that because literally like right after we recorded the show, we had the comedy farms um anniversary show out in Altoona. Um, we had all the wrong moves um, and then, yeah, that was so fun. G dubs that is my home girl. I love her. She's doing so many things out of Ohio way.
Speaker 1:I saw a comedy flyer of hers where they had it incorrectly listed. They had her as GN Will.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, Gain Will, that's one of my vendors, that's hilarious. No, but speaking of pictures, she had another picture up where, um, it was like an old picture of her sitting on a stool like doing comedy, and then a newer picture and in both pictures she's sitting like spreading you go like this. And she's like I must have a favorite pose. And I was like, I was like tell me that you, uh, put your foot out the window when you're in a car, cause you could just tell that she's that, you could just tell. And she's like girl, I put my foot out the window when I'm driving. And I was like we are sisters, so do I?
Speaker 2:I never drive anymore, but when I used to, when I used to drive at the beach, I always had my foot out the window. That's insanity and illegal. But who cares? Whatever, right, it's fun, it's comfortable. Cruising down the boulevard watching people on the beach with your foot out the window levels, it's fun. But anyways, love me some G-dubs If you guys are in Ohio, ohio, I can't say that word. Gw now I'll tag her. Yeah, she's all over the place.
Speaker 1:Man, that show was awesome. Uh, we got to see the inside of the masonic temple. I mean, that was really cool.
Speaker 2:We were hanging out in the ancient egyptian room so first of all, we had a kick-ass green room, which right they had hoogies, they had meat and cheese platters chips drinks pool table. You could smoke in there. Yeah, you could smoke in there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it don't get no better than that. I mean it don't get no better than that.
Speaker 2:I did take a video of it.
Speaker 1:It don't get no better than that. I did take a video of it.
Speaker 2:It don't get no better than that. I want to go. I was trying to get into secret rooms. I couldn't. Oh, I went everywhere.
Speaker 1:I went to the secret bathroom through the secret chambers. Yeah, I saw some secrets is all I'm going to say.
Speaker 2:All I'm saying is many a back room deal was made in that Masonic temple. That's what I can say.
Speaker 1:Many a deal was made in that room where the green room was, because that's the smoking. I can see them in there with big old cigars making back room deals.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was fantastic. Then, of course, we had our Wainsborough shows. Yeah, I love it, but um, yeah, no, that was fantastic Then of course we had our Wayne's bar shows God, they were so much fun.
Speaker 2:It was so much fun. I like I don't I'm going to miss the list of people that just um, I mean obviously, sas, I can never say it. Sasquatch outdoors I, I mean obviously, I can never say it. Sasquatch Outdoors, I lisp, so everything sounds weird. Sasquatch Outdoors, which then born into Sasquatch After Dark. These guys are so cool. I mean they're just good-hearted kids having fun in Waynesboro, pennsylvania, all for charity. They're just. I mean we didn't have to do a whole lot of nothing. They had the place set up, they had all of it. It was. It was really, and the venue triggers what's it?
Speaker 1:called again Triggers, table and tap room.
Speaker 2:Table and tap room, that backroom venue, if you want to do a wedding or something like that. I mean just the brick with the black, it's so gorgeous you have to get in there to see it. It's a great event space and Bobby and his wife, the owners, I mean they rocked it out. They rocked it out. It was a little busy and people were waiting, but once I get a kitchen in there, what? Yeah, get steaks and stuff. Yes, get me.
Speaker 1:Yes, get steaks and stuff.
Speaker 2:Get out of there. I'm a huge fan of their charcuterie board. Though it's pretty, I like it.
Speaker 1:But yeah, no, it went so well, it was perfect. The second night at South Mountain not so perfect, it did not turn out the way we wanted. I mean it was a great show.
Speaker 2:it was fun. I had way more fun saturday night.
Speaker 1:It was fun, but it would have been just a little bit better with like 10 more people agree, agree, but we did not throw in the towel.
Speaker 2:We are doing it again, like there we oh yeah that was our first event and there were always hitches in events, but I think that it went fairly darn smoothly for our first big show. Again, we partnered with someone, so we didn't have to do all the heavy lifting One night one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like that sound system. I will say that it was.
Speaker 2:Shout out Yamaha.
Speaker 1:Yamaha.
Speaker 2:Oh, you don't have Yamaha. What do you have?
Speaker 1:Wait, is it?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:I didn't know.
Speaker 1:I looked at so many, do you?
Speaker 2:know what I mean.
Speaker 1:I spent three days looking at it.
Speaker 2:A couple things I learned about booking shows is that I don't even know if I learned anything. I mean, we've done like. I used to be a wedding DJ. I've done wedding events. I've done big events before, just not my own. I've catered before I've bartended Whoa, just not my own. I've catered before I've bartended Whoa. What's that face? You're not even drinking beer, I'm ticking.
Speaker 1:Don't mind me.
Speaker 2:Oh, sorry, I didn't know. I thought you were making bitter beer face. That's different. So yeah, if you have a bunch of young single comics with you, make sure that there's plenty of single girls in the crowd. Saturday night at South Mountain could have gone really, really, really badly. It's a different crowd at South Mountain and we love them and we're used to them.
Speaker 1:What do you mean? It could have gone badly.
Speaker 2:One of the comics was about to get beat up by one of the husbands back there in the gambling no, nobody was gonna get beat up no, he wasn't, but um, I had to go intervene and so did you, but you made it worse. You don't remember? You were a little tipsy no, I do remember, but I'm just saying it wasn't that bad brad the owner of South Mountain was probably the first time that I've ever seen him past 8 o'clock in his own establishment. Now don't get me twisted. That man works his butt off.
Speaker 1:He's there every day. She's not saying that, he's just usually out.
Speaker 2:But he usually dips out before the crazy stuff comes on.
Speaker 1:That's why he's out, because he's there every day. Wow, he don't want to be there that late.
Speaker 2:But yeah, it was good, I where I'm definitely. I definitely want to do another show at South mountain. That was incredible. I liked this.
Speaker 1:It'll be better. We didn't know exactly what we had to do, but now that I know, I didn't want to like over promote it.
Speaker 2:Right, I didn't want to over-promote it Right Because we thought that you weren't going to be able to. We didn't know how much we were going to be competing with the regular crowd. But on a Saturday night, the regular crowd, they're kind of ebbs and flows.
Speaker 1:You're not really overshadowed, Right right, right, so yeah, so no, Next time it'll be fun, it'll be great.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was really fun and we made, you know, obviously we made some great connections and and I just it's fun doing that shit. I can't say how much fun it is. It's fun, but I don't have to do anything other than show up and look cute, so and, and sometimes I get to be the God voice, if you guys let me.
Speaker 1:But other than that, and we left on that note. That was supposed to be the high note of before we left for Nashville.
Speaker 2:Us leaving. Yeah, it was supposed to be. And then Well, I do want to shout out too, that we were supposed to do an open. Hold on, because I want to shout out that we were supposed to do an open mic that Sunday with Sasquatch back at Triggers. We backed out of it. That's on us. We were exhausted.
Speaker 1:I will say that it was an exhausting and we both got sick and it was yeah, it was not a good it was not a good look, but um, but it was an open mic.
Speaker 2:I'm sure the guys did good.
Speaker 1:They had a good yeah, they handled it like prez they didn't need us. We've never had to back out of anything before, and it was. But regardless of any of that, but yeah, back to, so to, so we're getting. We're back to Nashville.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's set it up. So we're road tripping right, we drive everywhere. Because I have never flown and it seems like a whole thing. I'm not afraid to fly, I just I don't like the stuff that goes with it. So we drove to Nashville it's like what eight hours tops nine, and it was mothers and, um, it was mother's.
Speaker 1:No, it's not. It's like 10.
Speaker 2:Okay, 12 was stops.
Speaker 2:But so we we were almost there. We were like 90 minutes away from being at the hotel and it was mother's day. And if you guys are following the show, you know that I have two daughters. My middle daughter, unfortunately, is an addict. She's been in Baltimore for many, many years doing this homeless addict life thing and I say it so contritely because I've been through this. If you've been through addiction with somebody that you love, you know that there's nothing you can do addiction with somebody that you love. You know that there's nothing you can do fit like if I could physically pick her up and I mean, yeah, but it's not like that all hasn't been done.
Speaker 1:Is the point like you've been down all those roads? I mean that's like we're way past that, yeah right, that's exactly it.
Speaker 2:We've done the trips to to dailies to get the Suboxone and we've done the rehab and she's done rehabs outside of us. So, like you know again, if you've been there with an addict, and then our youngest daughter is very, very, very liberal and going through the whole Gen Z whatever that is, that they're going through identity crisis. And so she disowned us when she found out that we voted for Trump. And so Mother's Day for me was it was cranky, like we were on our way to Nashville. I was so excited, but the underlying tone for me was emotional. I'm 50. I'm going through menopause. I'm cranky all the time, plus I'm crazy. To begin with I was emotional, but we were road tripping. Get a text from my daughter and she's like happy mother's day. I've been trying to get in touch with you. I have so much to tell, and she proceeds to send me a string of text, videos, pictures. Surprise your grandparents, it's a boy, so do you have anything to say? Do you have any filler for that one? Do you have anything to say?
Speaker 1:Do you have any filler for that one Give?
Speaker 2:me back, my grandson. You dirty Baltimore kidnappers.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I mean unfortunately, because she is an addict CPS stepped in and took the baby. And we found out after the fact yeah, yeah, it would have been easier, had we known prior, like the baby could have just been like we could have just been like yeah, we're taking him yeah, the baby was born in march.
Speaker 2:We didn't find out till may, so he was already a couple weeks old when we found out, um, so I went through. You know the whole gambit of emotions. Um, I don't know how much of this everyone needs to know. I'm an asshole. I know that. I called the caseworker and called her a cunt, like I was really just angry. You didn't say that Emotionally, yes, I did. Oh, no, no, no. I texted Olivia and told her her caseworker was gone, um, but when I was talking to her, the first time you were mean.
Speaker 1:You were mean, but you were like you weren't.
Speaker 2:You didn't go like that far so, but she did end the phone call and then we ended up um getting in touch with a lawyer and the lawyer essentially told us, um, we have to, you know, go through the steps. So we have to do it the way that CPS has it set up. There's no way to like go around the system. There's no special circumstances for grandparents. Marilyn doesn't operate that way.
Speaker 1:Right Outside of the parents. Everybody else is on equal footing, so it doesn't matter. You're Joe Blow, off the street yeah joe blow? Where did that start? That's a good question, joe blow, who's joe blow?
Speaker 2:we I mean it's funny because this is like the third time that we've actually used that exact phrase in this podcast, because, remember I said the one time in a rap I I'm Joe Blow from Nanny Glow.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 2:We were talking about.
Speaker 1:Joe Blow from Nanny Glow.
Speaker 2:We were talking about the Beastie Boys.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, it was like we were trying to remember the third Beastie Boy Remember.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but which one is it? I don't know which one we were trying to remember. The third Beastie Boy Remember? Yeah, but which one is it?
Speaker 1:I don't know which one we were trying to remember. Don't put me back on the spot.
Speaker 2:I know, and I'll forget it again, there's Ad-Rock Mike D.
Speaker 1:And D oh yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm having deja vu, stop it no, I am too, oh mca mca, mca, that's how he says it in the one song.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that's yeah. Anyways, joe Blow. So we're Joe Blow in this situation, right, we have no additional ground to stand on because we're the grandparents. So it just is what it is, and that doesn't sit well with me. I'm a doer, I'm an actioner. I can't sit on my hands and do nothing. So, long story short, we have a grandson. He is three months old this weekend. I'm not going to say it's government out loud, because I don't want anybody finding out anything about him. Plus, his dad is probably not the best person and he's a junior, and I'm really mad about that, because you shouldn't name somebody after somebody who's like him. But and I'm making a lot of assumptions but when I say like him, he is older than my daughter and he's older than me, and he let his baby be born to an addict and let that baby be put into the system. So to me, regardless of whether or not he's a criminal which I'm making assumptions based off of his criminal record he's a 57-year-old pimp.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, 52. He's only two years older than me. That ain't true. He's a 57-year-old pimp. So what? No, I just why are you doing it? Because I fucking hate him. I hate him and I don't even know him, and you know before.
Speaker 2:Like it's funny, because the way that I talk sometimes, because I'm so frank about my feelings, people sometimes tend to think that I'm a racist. It's so funny, though, because I automatically jumped to the time where one of her previous boyfriends was Black, and I did not care about that. He was fucking Muslim and I, being the accommodating white, guilt-ridden mom that I am, went on this whole thing trying to figure out what to make for dinner, because fucking everything that I love to cook has pork in it. So if I was racist or a fucking total asshole, I wouldn't even have tried to accommodate that motherfucker. He ended up being a shit loser too, but at the end of the day, it's not about that. It's about it's about being a productive member of society. You're either productive or you're draining, and I like people who are productive, not draining, period I mean we're getting way off track here.
Speaker 2:Um, because I'm trying to discredit all the racist bullshit. I do not like this man because he's a fucking pimp. You don't know what I say on socials. That gets me backlash.
Speaker 1:But that doesn't count. I only care about what real people think. So we're doing it, we're doing it oh yeah, yeah, so we got to go through this, but anyway we're going to, we're doing it. Oh yeah, yeah, so we got it, so we got to go through this, but anyway, we're gonna go see him here soon and um not wait, I did that'll be.
Speaker 2:I did want to give the update, though, because I did talk to the caseworker yesterday and, um, she said that he is out of the woods as far as being like having any symptoms of being born addicted. He's clear from all that now. So he is doing good health wise and he's gaining weight. So I thought five pounds and like he was almost six pounds when he was born, which is actually really healthy weight for a baby who was born addicted. She said he's gaining a lot of weight, so he is going to be a little chunker, but he looks like my son. So I've been referring to him as bubs when I talk about him, because we call my son bubs. They're not the same and I don't want them to have the same life, but he just looks so much like him that it's hard for me not to call him that I don't know, but I cannot wait to go see him.
Speaker 1:I'm like yeah, that'd be great.
Speaker 2:I didn't want to at first, like I was so afraid that if I went to see him that I would have a nervous breakdown because I'd have to leave him there. But now that it's like already not scheduled, she has to call us back and schedule it Right right, right right.
Speaker 2:Now that I know kind of what. It's funny because I hate this show and we've talked about it before the rehearsal. Hate this show and we've talked about it before the rehearsal. But now that she's stepped me through the process and I was willing to listen to her and not be shut down, it's like the rehearsal. Now I'm no longer I. I don't have anxiety about seeing them, I don't have anxiety about the process. For me because of my tiz, it's like I have to know the process or I will have a panic attack. Right, even if everything is supposed to be good, I'll still have a panic attack because I don't know what to expect. Now that she's kind of given me, set the expectation, I'm good, I can't wait.
Speaker 2:I cannot wait to go see him.
Speaker 1:I'm like um uh, shnikes, what was I going to say? It's going to really bother me now till I remember it. It'll come back to me. It'll come back to me, um, but yeah, so that that all happened while we were gone and now we're back and we're better than ever and we're getting back at it, and so let's talk about it. Let's um. First off, um well.
Speaker 2:So let me preface this by saying that, because we knew we were moving, we didn't do any planning for like booking shows. We started pulling back from open mics.
Speaker 1:So your comedy and recording the podcast. Like all of that, we we didn't have any trips planned.
Speaker 2:Like all that we didn't have anything planned we were saying no to like, like the things that were going on coming up like, so yeah, we didn't have anything planned, so we uh.
Speaker 1:But yeah, now we're getting back in the swing of things, we got plans, we got stuff coming up, so, yeah, no, it's good.
Speaker 2:Um, I just want to talk about first off, I want to talk about the cookie table at the wedding we were just at, because everybody was talking about your video if you have never been to a pennsylvania wedding, there is one tradition that we all look forward to, at least in the western half of the state, and that is the cookie table. Look at this beautiful setup, all handcrafted with love for my little cousin's wedding. Look at these. These are my favorites. They are called Italian Peaches and babe's favorite, the cream wafer.
Speaker 1:And the cookies were all so good.
Speaker 2:So I found out after the fact that my girlfriend la I call her lala her name's laura lee, but I yeah, I saw that so my girlfriend lala, who I just she I get such a kick out of her facebook posts. She's a total nature nerd. Everything she posts is about nature, she's all. She has the best pictures. But it was her aunt that made the cookie table. So shout out Tammy Rigby, I don't know your last name.
Speaker 1:Those cookies, though, were just like the ones that mom makes. Those ones, they were spot on. They tasted just like the ones that mom makes. Come to find out. Let me tell you this when I text mom a picture of that, you know, at the wedding, you this. When I I texted mom a picture that, you know, at the wedding, you know when I'm like, yeah, I was like, look what they have here, because you know you don't see them a lot. Um, even she hates making them because they're such a pain in the ass, but, um, when ang was in, she made a whole bunch of them, and they ate them all.
Speaker 2:They didn't bring any to us.
Speaker 1:That's what I said.
Speaker 2:I was like you could have brought a couple for a comedy celebration. Right, we were hungry Are you kidding me, man?
Speaker 1:I'd have been. Ooh buddy, you make friends quick with those things, man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah People love them People, those things, man, yeah, yeah, people love them, people love them.
Speaker 1:They're addictive too. They're so good it's gluttonous, because the amount of time that it takes to make one you know what I mean to make a small batch and then they go like nobody's business.
Speaker 2:You pop one little cookie into your mouth and it just melts instantaneously.
Speaker 1:The most maybe two all that butter, sugar and cream flour, that's all it is butter, sugar, cream, flour.
Speaker 2:They are just, oh so good and I mean it just so again shout out so that was the first time that we were ever at. It's called the Willow. It's a new venue at the airport in Johnstown, again, gorgeous event space. The outside space was beautiful, it was. It was so nice that day. I mean, plus, my cousin is just gorgeous, she's, so it's. It's funny that I call them my cousins. My, my cousins are all my children's age, not all of them. Half my cousins are my age and older and half of them are my kids' age because of the way that my grandma's family was.
Speaker 1:Right, I mean, that happens sometimes.
Speaker 2:So, like my baby cousins are all getting married. So they got married last weekend and her brother is getting married in september out in pittsburgh. Now that's going to be an event too, like the, the johnstown one. I mean, my family's weddings are always spectacular, um, and everybody always has an amazing time, but um, and, and it was so beautiful, like I said. But pittsburgh is going to be a different vibe. I'll be interested to see how my family acts out in the big city.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's going to be fun. It's going to be a lot of fun. And what day of the week is it?
Speaker 2:Saturday.
Speaker 1:Saturday I'm going to have to tonight. I'm going to talk to Kanto about it and be like I don't know what you got going on this weekend in the fall, but you need to have a show that weekend so I can drag everybody to it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So, uh, you know what I mean, That'll be fun.
Speaker 2:Um, I think I can too. He's filming. Yeah, we're going out there tonight.
Speaker 1:Yep, he's doing a little special tonight, that'll be fun. Doing a little special tonight, that'll be fun. It's going to be always a good time out there. Love going out there right in the Strip District, that's always fun. He's a cool dude man.
Speaker 2:I mean, he's a cool dude, that's all you can say about him he's right by Rollins, my favoritist.
Speaker 1:Right, oh yeah, I mean that's just an added bonus. But yeah, no, I love what he has going on there. It's always fun. But daggone it, I still am trying real hard to think about what I was going to say back earlier and I just cannot remember.
Speaker 2:It's probably a joke about.
Speaker 1:I think it was a joke.
Speaker 2:Raising our house?
Speaker 1:No, I don't think it was. It wasn't anything related to that. No, it was a joke about raising a kid, I feel like.
Speaker 2:But well, the joke's on me honestly, because my kid I had, my kids were when I had my kids, when I was 18, 19 and and 23. So I had my baby.
Speaker 1:You really set yourself up for failure.
Speaker 2:No, I set my kids up for failure honestly, and so when I was older, when I finally when I, when I became an empty nester, people who were just starting to have babies in their 40s I would make fun of I mean, I still do to this day. I was making fun of them, like my boss, who I love, we're very close. He is my age and his kids are like four and five or maybe six and seven.
Speaker 1:Just look, perfect example. Well, it's my brother. I don't know if I should say that or not, but whatever, it don't matter. You know what I mean, because I don't know who in the world. You know whatever. But yeah, it's my brother because, like he's, you know what I mean. Getting he's, you know, just a couple years younger than me, so, and he's they're getting ready to have their first kid, so, which is awesome for us too, if we do get our kid, then they'll be like the same age.
Speaker 2:Yeah, look at.
Speaker 1:Look at like other people we know, we know of a particular family that, like it's, they got like six generations.
Speaker 2:They're going strong. Oh, are you talking about my Gettysburg people?
Speaker 1:Yeah, of course I am, but I'm just saying, when grandma was alive, you know what I mean there was like it was like so many different.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you, you just keep what started it like with your family, like because, like your grandma had kids. You all it takes is one person having kids over like, or grandma fliggle like having kids from like jeff to kevin's you know what I mean. There's like a 20 year gap there or something. You know what I mean? Just like your girl. No, but I'm saying that sets it up for situations like that, where it's like multi-generations that can be the same age.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure, because my first, so Eric, my oldest cousin, his daughter, was born in, I think, 92, maybe 91, 92. And I was just graduating high school. And then here comes this another wave of kids and then my uncles that were his age started having kids and we were all having kids at the same time or whatever. So I love it, like I get my mom's family. Like I said, they've always been very close, as when we were growing up. They do like literally everything together, they take trips together, they're very, very, very close and I've always been kind of not the outsider because of them, but like just because I've always ran, lived other places and stuff. But I love a good Miller family family function.
Speaker 1:They are so fun yeah, so do I I, because well, I mean, you know what I'm judging it on food, but uh, and they definitely know what they're doing in that department and, uh, god bless them for that.
Speaker 2:So oh yeah, speaking of which thank you for reminding me also a shout out to taste a country, or I'm gonna have to look it up.
Speaker 1:I think it's called player of country country flair, flair of country, I think yeah, they.
Speaker 2:That's like the fourth catering event I've been to. Now they actually own the willow, that's their event space, but that they were doing just catering and so my brother was giving me the backstory. So the son is the owner of Lamont Croco or whatever that owns the Pike Inn the best steaks in Johnstown. He used to own. Lamont out in 8th Ward and then he didn't do anything for a lot of years. And now he has the Pike Inn. I don't know if it's still called the Pike. Do they still call that?
Speaker 1:I have no idea.
Speaker 2:But anyways, always like hands down best steaks. They're talking about them over here at the Pike. We have to go over and get one, but it's his son who is running the catering business and who bought the willow his son who is running the catering business and who bought the willow.
Speaker 1:Let's pause here, because here's a question is what makes a great steak? Because here's the thing is like I enjoy a good steak, but like for me to separate, Like I don't know if I've ever eaten a steak anywhere, Even when we were out at that place out in Pittsburgh where I've just been blown away by the steak. I've made steak that I've been blown away by, but I don't know if I've ever eaten a steak out that I'm like, oh my God, this is the best steak I've ever ate. No, I've said that about several of my own.
Speaker 2:Agree, agree, but I don't.
Speaker 1:So my question is is what makes a great steak? And I mean, we'll find out if they're doing it there but what makes it great? What separates it from being good? Because I've had plenty of good. I'm not saying I've had bad, like I can't remember. Yeah, I'm sure I've had bad sticks, but I'm saying like I can remember plenty of good ones where I'm like totally satisfied with what I got, like I'm not knocking what I got, I'm not saying it was in any way bad, but what's what makes it great? What?
Speaker 2:are people saying I can tell you in my heart and soul because you know I'm a texture person. So the one thing that makes a steak stick out to me is that it melts in your mouth, regardless of how it's cooked. No, I don't eat a well steak. I eat a medium steak. Um so medium should melt in your mouth anyway, but it has to melt in your mouth and it has to have flavor, and I'm not talking about like I just don't know.
Speaker 1:Um, I guess it's just one of those.
Speaker 2:I ate fan fried steaks all my life and I I can honestly say that I and my parents used to buy T-bones all the time, off the meat truck or whatever.
Speaker 1:We ate T-bones like at least once a week.
Speaker 2:I can honestly say that I never feel. I feel like I didn't actually have a proper steak and I thought my dad's steaks were amazing until I had one on a grill. So I think it's. It has to be the right grill, it has to be the right cut and it has to melt in your mouth. And just the right amount of seasoning, like we used to pile garlic powder on that fucking smothered the whole steak. You just need a touch of salt, a touch of pepper and a touch of something else, but I'm not sure what it is like the. I like the steaks, the grow mates right.
Speaker 1:No, I'm, I'm totally with you. I'm just uh, it's uh. Yeah, I'm excited to see to you know me, it's like one of those things. I'm on a quest for Right and uh, it's just like. But it goes hand in hand, like I mean, there's plenty of things that we've talked about. This is not just steak, where, like, the best versions of that, like I've I've made, like right. Well, like pulled pork.
Speaker 2:You're pulled pork, hands down. I cannot eat anybody else's, it doesn't matter. I don't know what you do differently. I don't even like pork. When you make pulled pork, I cannot get enough.
Speaker 1:I love it, I give it love.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:I touch it in ways that it probably shouldn't be. It's not good. I don't have brisket down like that back up.
Speaker 2:You're doing what's for the meat now touching it.
Speaker 1:Touching it, giving it love your brisket's good.
Speaker 2:I like it. No, you don't. It's inconsistent, but your best brisket is better than anything that I've ever had.
Speaker 1:Nah, I've the. I've the best briskets I've ever had I've had at other places. Now you're going to have the what.
Speaker 2:Burn tens. The best burn times I've ever had was chubbies.
Speaker 1:Hands down. Oh, yeah, yeah, back in the day. I don't want to speak to it now because I don't know. I don't even know what's going on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know, what you're talking about.
Speaker 1:I don't like to talk about restaurants that far in the past. I mean a chain restaurant, sure, whatever, but like a local place like that, because I can't speak to how it is now, because I don't even like. Is it the same owners? Who knows Like?
Speaker 2:you don't even have answers because it was that long ago, and you know what I? Mean Like and James was the cook there for like 15 years. He was like, and he left shortly after I left.
Speaker 1:So yeah, Right, and that's exact and that and so I mean Right and that's exact and that and all that matters. So it's like, yeah, I don't want to say but at the time, right, we're not promoting chubbies at all Cause we haven't been there.
Speaker 2:Maybe they are, they might be great, we haven't been there in over 12 years. What all we're saying is that at the time, they had the best burnt ends we've ever had.
Speaker 1:Right, right.
Speaker 2:Right, but that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I'll tell you what he's doing. I'm not vouching for it. But it's, yeah, they were fantastic. And I mean, we've eaten a lot of different barbecue. Now again, we've never been to. It's not like we've eaten barbecue in Texas or anything like that. So it's not like we're saying this is like I'm not saying that I'm not gonna have or have pulled pork or brisket. That was better than like what I've had at certain other places or whatever you know. But it's, you know, you can only do with what you have had.
Speaker 2:So I can't even literally remember what happened in Nashville. I do remember the comedy. Did we even eat anything good out there that week? I don't remember.
Speaker 1:I don't even remember. I don't remember either. I knew, even remember, I don't remember either. I knew that one. I got you chicken from that place that was next to the Cobra.
Speaker 2:That was good. Yeah, yeah, whatever that chicken spot is next to the Cobra.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know what it was called.
Speaker 2:That was good chicken.
Speaker 1:Something, fried chicken or something like that. What else did we? Did we? We went to a chicken place, didn't we?
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, that hot chicken place that was.
Speaker 1:What was it called though?
Speaker 2:No, that was in.
Speaker 1:Pittsburgh, that we went, that we went to that. No, it wasn't. We went to one down there, remember, because I looked and I'm like I'm glad we went to this one because it was real it was good but what was it? We're gonna have to come back to that because it couldn't have been that good, because I don't, I don't remember. No, it was good, it was um it was good.
Speaker 2:It was real chill there too. Remember, was it down in the gulch? It was down in the gulch because we were getting ready to go to the green light no I should have looked at all my nashville receipts before, yeah, but here's the thing, but here's.
Speaker 1:I don't remember what we ate on what day, other than that night, the Cobra night, because it was there.
Speaker 2:But where did we go? What did we do? We weren't out there. I know, because we weren't out there for that we were literally there to check in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I could tell you about the towns. Yeah, I can tell you about some Thornton's gas stations. No, but what that I mean? That's another thing, though. That's like crazy, that like I can't even remember that. Like well that it was like again, we we weren't there to tour, we were going to be living down there. We didn't care.
Speaker 2:Right and not only that like we were both like had an emotional blanket over our brains too, because we were trying to not think about the baby while we were down there hanging out, because then it was like we're doing all this stuff to prepare to move there, but like somewhere in the bottom of our souls we knew that it wasn't going to happen at this point, because now we had something else to do, so it was like we weren't there to particularly vacation and do the fun shit. We did go to the zoo, though that was that just lit up my, that's a little.
Speaker 2:Where else you're gonna?
Speaker 1:hang around with kangaroos. I just can't believe they're doing that.
Speaker 2:I'm not sure that's safe On the back and only pet them on the back. From behind you can touch him if you want. Okay, you're okay, I didn't know he was. Nah, he's doing his own thing, whatever he wants.
Speaker 1:Oh, he's currently, but it's awesome. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Get up one day and just start punching the shit out of him. I'm not sure it's safe.
Speaker 1:They were so chill. You see, they expose them early. They had the babies in there. So it's like they just, they're just so chill with you. No, that's why you can't be sneaking up on them and quick, I'm sure, like they'll get the wrong thing, they'll kick the shit out of you. Boy, I'm sure that they like. But regardless of any of that, no, it was very cool um that was fun.
Speaker 1:The disco bathroom at the hop shop was amazing I'm gonna find his name and we're going to put it across the thing. But that guy that hosted that mic that night, that did the clacking thing that was one of the most awesome things I've ever seen.
Speaker 2:Oh my god.
Speaker 1:He took those things to a whole new level. Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:He was a virtuoso on something that you shouldn't even like, because, like who, you have to have really specific movements to control, because the strings are so long that if you don't move in it precisely the string ripples, so it doesn't you know what is that?
Speaker 1:took an immense amount of practice is what it boils down to and the fact that he can and you can tell that's not the first time, because I mean that he's written something like that he's learned to do that because it's like the things that he controlling it with his voice and like giving it different, you know, pitches and stuff like it's like it's one of those things like you don't see that right, right.
Speaker 2:You don't see all the work that goes into being able to do something like that, because he had to experiment some too. It's not like there's. I mean, I'm sure there's videos on it, but not some of the shit he was doing.
Speaker 1:I don't know that's what I'm saying. Like I'm sure that I'm not saying that he's the only person that's obviously like. You know what I mean, but like it's like you do not meet.
Speaker 2:it's just not something you see people do or be that good at like it was so cool, that was it was so cool we went to three open mics, or four, um, but you didn't make it into this the third one, that was the bucket pool at that.
Speaker 1:At Third Coast, yeah At. Third Coast, but so the one that you're talking about. Where was that place called? I don't know. We're out to put it in the thing.
Speaker 2:We'll give you a pop-up guys. That's how our video?
Speaker 1:Yeah, because it was. You asked me way too fast, but either way, the venue was.
Speaker 2:It was right, was right. Oh, the east room, wasn't it the east room, the east room? Yes, that was so fun, like I just. The venue was amazing, it was yeah, it was very cool so they had a drummer and a keyboard player on stage the whole time and it was just awesome, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:It was fun, very fun, yeah, yeah, I liked that a lot. It was very, very, very, very good that was my favorite one yeah.
Speaker 2:There's good comics in Nashville. I'm not going to lie, but I can say this because I'm not a comic and you can't say it because you are Fucking. Pittsburgh is hands down a hundred percent thousand. I was floored by the difference between pittsburgh and nashville. Pittsburgh is a way better.
Speaker 1:Open mic scene you know this is sounds totally ridiculous, but I mean, out of all the cities that we've been to like doing stuff like they, I mean it does they have like the toughest there's the most.
Speaker 2:There's more people that are better like at a different level than there is there's way more polished comics in Pittsburgh doing open mics than there are to every any other open mic I've seen right and we've been to them kind of all over at this point not in the country, but a lot, a lot of different places.
Speaker 1:Yeah sure, um, we're gonna have to make a highlight reel of me for you.
Speaker 1:I'm sure I've done another episode too, but I feel like my mind's not working right remembering things well, let me see where we're at how many minutes of recording 54 yeah, we only got a couple more things um, I just want to say this, and I'll say, I've said it once, I've said it twice, I'll say it 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,000 times, as much as it takes Salvatore's Pizza is in Johnstown, is like, quickly climbing the ranks as like my favorite pizza that I've ever eaten, like it's definitely the best here, eaten like it's definitely the best here. But there is like it is just. I get more impressed every time I go, and at this point, we're going pretty regularly.
Speaker 2:um, well, but because I don't like pizza that much and I only want like one slice at this point now. I used to be able to eat two slices, now I can only eat one, so I wanted to pack a punch. I'm not gonna give up my one slice of pizza that I can eat on fucking dominoes.
Speaker 1:I can tell you that much right now I never would I mean I'm still rocky's is still my favorite in kestrel, Because they're still my favorite of all time. It just they get a little tick extra for nostalgia, but the pizza is just as good, it sounds.
Speaker 2:But you got a sub this time which you hadn't gotten before.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I did get a sub the first time. We got a hot Italian.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:This time I got a cold Italian and the bread, oh, the bread is phenomenal. The bread is phenomenal. I said yesterday it's so of course, and I've said this once, twice, three times a sandwich. But the, of course. You know Romeo's in Waynesboro back in the day I talk about it the best sub of all time. You couldn't even I don't even call it a sub, because it was a different experience they had their own thing, but the hoagies at Sal's are the closest that I've had. And I say close loosely, it's not that close, but it's the closest that I've had. So it's all relative. You know what I'm saying. It's the closest that I've had. It's not like it's an exact copy or just a smidge off. It's not that, but it's the closest that I've had. So we'll leave it at that.
Speaker 2:Smidge, smidge smidge. Oh, what was that movie that we wanted to check out coming out Weapon?
Speaker 1:Weapons. That does look good, oh yeah, cause we. It's like drive-in season around here, so it is.
Speaker 2:We did. It's like drive-in season around here. Yes, it is.
Speaker 1:We did go to the drive-in, we went, we did, we did. We've already been, which is more than we went last year, which is zero. Well, no, we did go last year once, didn't we?
Speaker 2:We took Dakota for a birthday. We took Dakota and then she broke up with us a couple weeks later.
Speaker 1:Right, and then she broke up with us a couple weeks later, right, but yeah, so we did go once last year, but yeah, we already went this year and we were pleasantly surprised by, yes, chicken Jockey, the Minecraft movie, which we then watched again when it just came to streaming a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's really cute. I like it. And you don't have to know minecraft to.
Speaker 1:No, we don't know I don't know minecraft the only thing I know about minecraft is things that they like. Jokes they've made on south park right like I have no idea, I have no concept. I mean, I know roughly what it is, you know what I?
Speaker 2:mean it's like every other game you play? No, it's not.
Speaker 1:It's, I'm not, no, it's, it's different. I'm not going to sit here and hash out why that's totally different than what I do when I'm playing civilization.
Speaker 2:Okay, but uh you're a real McAsshole, you know that. Um, but yeah, seriously no it was really, really good. It was good and you discovered that there's actually another drive-in movie theater that we haven't been to close enough ish to us in clearfield oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, close enough, I mean within an hour drive, which is what we've always, you know, said.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, we can take a couple more off the list, but yeah, no. And the most important thing at a drive-in movie theater, of course, is the snack bar. It's how I rate it. I don't they all show movies, you know what I mean, but what sets them apart is the snack bar. And so this was. Had we been to Carrolltown before?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've been to Carrolltown a million times. That's like one of my that was my favorite.
Speaker 1:Oh, right, right.
Speaker 2:When the kids were younger. That was I like that one better.
Speaker 1:Well, they're doing big things in their snack bar. Now, this time they were slam jam, because it was like first weekend or something when we were there and it was slam jam, busy and like it was a little hard to get stuff. But yeah, and they were like short-staffed and it was a mess, so, like I didn't, we didn't get any, like other good stuff is what I'm saying because it was just a little too busy. But uh, no, because that's what really sets. I mean because they're all gonna have popcorn.
Speaker 1:Now here's the question, because we've been to drive-ins where they don't even offer you butter. Okay, boo is exactly right. Who doesn't offer butter for popcorn at a movie? Like, in what world are you living in? And let this be my rant what kind of human being runs a movie business where you show movies to the public, has a snack bar with popcorn, mind you. You, they have popcorn, candy soda, all the theater basics, but what they don't have is butter. Now, I don't even remember which place this is that I'm talking about. Okay, I don't remember Because we've been to a lot. So I'm not saying it definitely wasn't this one. Obviously, because they definitely had butter lot. So I'm not saying it definitely wasn't this one, obviously, because they definitely had butter. So I'm not saying that, I'm not saying it was one that was around here. You know what I mean. This could have been anywhere. Matter of fact, I think it was one of them back down where that we went to before I think it was steven city.
Speaker 1:Don't mention him, babe. You're not supposed to say that, but I don't think it was actually and I can't say. That's why I don't want to say I don't want to go throw in some crazy accusation. That's a horrible thing to say about someone. Do you know what I mean? Like that's like murder. You know what I mean? Like I wouldn't say that about my worst enemy, that they didn't offer me butter for popcorn and this they're a movie theater, but anyway they didn't. So like, obviously, most snack bars are all going to have the same things, but what sets you apart is what is the quality like on your hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken tenders, nachos. Do you offer anything else that might surprise me? I just named all the basics and the other things, like any fried things or that. Like I get anything like that. What do you have that might surprise me?
Speaker 2:Hmm, no, but seriously, because like, some places you go and they're like oh, we have a grilled chicken sandwich, ah the only thing I care about is, regardless of whether it obviously they have to have popcorn, but I love a good soft pretzel at the movies.
Speaker 1:Mmm, I love too. The idea of this is what separates two. To me it's like I don't even. I can't go watch a movie at a regular movie theater. Now, after going like, once you've solidified that you're a drive-in person, you can't do because you have freedom at the drive-in that you don't have at a movie theater. You're constricted and you're stuck between people, probably unless you're in a very specific spot in the theater. Chances are you're going to have to. You can't just be freely roaming to the snack bar at any time you please. You know what I mean. It's it's.
Speaker 1:It's not a comfortable experience because the driving you got it all, baby. You can do whatever you want. You're in your area, you've got your little space, nobody. You can sit outside your vehicle. Inside your vehicle you can have your thing. You can allow as volume as you want. You can go to the snack bar at any time. You're not bothering anybody. You ain't got to walk over nobody. You can go to the bathroom freely which for me is very important and the snack bar the whole time, like you're just anytime you want you go. That's why I like to sample it. I like, when I can go through, grab a popcorn, come back. Go through. Get a pretzel come back. Go through. Get a burger come back. Get another popcorn come back. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:So what Scott is telling you guys is that he doesn't see most of the movie because he's spending it going back and forth to the snack bar.
Speaker 1:No, that's the beauty of a drive-in you don't miss the movie when you're doing those things. Everybody, you can hear it, you can see it. It's all right there. That's why I can't do regular movies. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2:So we're going to go see Weapon. When it comes out Weapons, it is Josh Brolin and Julia.
Speaker 1:Brolin Goonie.
Speaker 2:Goonie, goonie alert, and then Ozark.
Speaker 1:Together, together for the first time, Thriller Goonie Goonie, Goonie alert and an Ozark together in one psychological thriller. I don't know what it is yeah, it looks very good.
Speaker 1:It does look good, it looks wild. Kids just run out of houses and shit. It looks scary. It takes a lot for a scary movie to grab my attention, to be like ooh, not scary, but just like a thriller. You know what I'm saying. It takes a lot for it to grab my attention, to be like, ooh, not scary, but just like a thriller and you know what I'm saying Like it takes a lot for it to grab my attention. And as soon as I saw it I was like Whoa, whoa, yeah, I want to see that.
Speaker 2:Um, hopefully it doesn't disappoint, because every time I get excited about a thriller movie, I'm not Every single time.
Speaker 1:It's like they're batting a thousand for the last 27 years.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. Like I had, I'm.
Speaker 2:I think the last good movie that we saw like that in the theaters was maybe Insidious, and that was years ago.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was. Yeah, it was like what 10 years ago, 10 years ago, mm-hmm, Probably, at least Probably, it might even be longer than that when Insidious came out.
Speaker 2:Ooh? Did you hear that?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Firework. Wow, fireworks go off in our neighborhood all day, every day. We don't. I think they go off every time we record, because I feel like we talked about this last time we were recording, but anyway, so, oh yeah, we have.
Speaker 1:People post so constantly about that. They're like what were those loud booms I heard this morning at 6 am Meanwhile? Where we live, it's every day, like we just live where we live. We've said this before. I mean it's not the hood, but it's. I mean it's not the hood, but it's like, it's bad. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Like and this well part of that city. We would not. We, we would just be a normal city neighborhood.
Speaker 1:But because we're not in a big city, like it's a little worse than it should be right, that's exactly right, and part of that is they freely set off fireworks all the time and uh, yeah, so we play a game fire shot, fireworks or gunshots because they do that a lot too uh is shoot each other. Um, no, it's not the same people. The people that are shooting each other are not the same people that are setting off the fireworks. No, it's different people.
Speaker 1:That would be interesting if they were. Just they wanted people to be used to the sound, so they started proactively setting off fireworks to get people used to. I mean, they have somebody else doing it for them now, but that's a good idea actually. So criminals out there listen up, that's me. That's my criminal tip for the day. If you're going to start shooting, people preemptively start setting off fireworks, so people don't know the difference.
Speaker 2:There you have it. I mean that's how they did it in that one movie that I love you might have. I mean that's how they did it in that one movie that I love.
Speaker 1:You might have to cut that out, because I don't want to be held responsible of somebody that does that.
Speaker 2:I thought you wanted me to cut it out because you farted after you said it. Did you fart? No, oh, your chair must have squeaked. No, but what was that movie that I love with Josh Duhamel and the little dancer girl? And it's set in Wilmington, what's?
Speaker 1:that.
Speaker 2:Safe Haven, safe Haven.
Speaker 1:Safe Haven.
Speaker 2:Because he does that, he waits until they're doing the fireworks to do all the crimes.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, see, that's probably where I learned it. That's why you gotta watch those rom-coms. You find out how to kill people.
Speaker 2:So what do we got coming up? What is coming up next for Gilded Trash? I'll tell you what's coming up. This bitch is turning 50 in a couple weeks.
Speaker 1:He said and we will be on the road. So, uh, we'll be out there doing things. We're going to go see Dan Soder In Virginia beach. That'll be a lot of fun. We're going to go party it up at our favorite place in South mountain Uh, who knows what else. We're going to probably see the baby. We got a lot planned, yeah, a lot we got a lot planned.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a lot planned. A lot coming up, a lot to talk about. It's going to be a lot of fun. We didn't even get into. We did not even get into, but I got to bring this up before we close this thing out. Karen Reed.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:We haven't even talked about it.
Speaker 2:Well, so we are going to stay on the true crime for just a second. I want to wrap it up with Karen Reed Cause. That was probably one of my favorite wins of the last month. Um, outside of the baby Cause, the baby's a win, but not a win yet, like it's not in my personal.
Speaker 2:That's a personal win that has zero to do with things. We've been talking about Karen Reid forever, right In the trial. There's a new story that we're going to be following out of Bloomsburg Caitlin Hart, maybe Hart Hart. Yeah, like a Like a harp Hart. Caitlin Hart heart, maybe um heart like, yeah, like a like a heart caitlin heart. Um, she went missing the other day allegedly, and um but we're not saying we don't know.
Speaker 2:I haven't dug in, I don't want to infer anything because we don't know oh, I'm inferring his I have no idea Her husband's first wife, mr oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's totally super suspect.
Speaker 1:I thought you were saying something that she just did it herself. No, no, no, that's why I was saying don't say that.
Speaker 2:Old Vince Harp is looking mighty suspicious.
Speaker 1:Yeah, his first wife died of an overdose. That's classic, classic husband murder.
Speaker 2:So we'll be following that as it uncovers. But I mean, that doesn't seem like it seems like it's pretty closed case.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I mean I feel like if it's that obvious, they're already talking about it in the news, so that's already like. However we thought Karen Reid was a closed case, we thought that there was no evidence. I mean right, but at least there I could see, like you could at least see the connection. You know what I mean. You can at least.
Speaker 2:Until the Commonwealth's evidence was produced.
Speaker 1:Right, I'm not saying that there was, the question was was there doubt? And there absolutely was. But that's not like what I'm saying. Is they that one's more of a? This is a dunker. I feel like, yeah, this one's more of a.
Speaker 2:This is a dunker.
Speaker 1:I feel like yeah, this one's a dunker.
Speaker 2:Karen Reed was not a dunker, but thank God that she had the team that she did because, um, I mean.
Speaker 1:Oh, aj Allen Jackson Well.
Speaker 2:I like the other one too, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee. I like Robert Al one too, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee. I like Robert Alessi too. He's really effing smart.
Speaker 1:Why would you call him a lesbian?
Speaker 2:Alessi.
Speaker 1:Oh, I thought you said Robert's Alessi.
Speaker 2:No, robert, alessi, Alessi, oh Bob he was fun.
Speaker 2:Oh my God. But the reason why I love this case so much is because, literally, I would go to work, turn on TikTok and listen to the content creators go live and talk about the case, and it was so much more fun than listening to the news talk about it. And do not even get me started on Court TV. Court TV is the most biased crock of shit I've never heard those people. Thank God they're not lawyers in real life anymore, because I wouldn't hire not one of them.
Speaker 1:They are tough. What's that guy's name? Vinnie Politano.
Speaker 2:Vinnie Politan, vinnie Politan guy's name vinnie vince paulitano. Vinnie paulitan he's just he's fine because he's just like the face, he's just out there, he's like the the crowd it's the, the, it's the like daytime no-name reporters that are throwing it in there in that one so-called expert that well they're the judge, they're the. They always call her judge too, and I'm like when's the last time she judged? Is she sitting on a judgeship now? If she is, she shouldn't be on cart tv commentating on shit well, I'm talking about that one guy, lawyer oh, the one that looks, it's always like it was really strong for the defense, I mean for the prosecution.
Speaker 2:I mean for the prosecution, Nobody's buying that?
Speaker 1:Nobody's buying that from Karen Reid buddy.
Speaker 2:Oh, I hate him. I can't think of his name.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know his name. We'll put it in our thing.
Speaker 2:I'm going to clip every video he did where he said that the Commonwealth had a strong case and that I'm going to be like. None of these comments aged well for you, asshole. I cannot stand him, but anyway. So yes, Karen Reid is free. She was acquitted of all charges, except for the DUI, which they call OUI in mass because they have to be queer. It's operating under the influence. Get the fuck out of here. Blow it out, your ass mass. You know why you out of here.
Speaker 1:Blow it out your ass.
Speaker 2:You know why? You know the difference? Blow it out your ass mass. I'm not going to say that. So I think and if I look it up I'm probably very close the language is operating, because that's when they can get you for being in your car with the keys on, like with the car on. You're tactically not driving at that point, but you're operating the vehicle. Ew, why are you doing that? You look like because, I'm just messing. You look like lucky lofgren the plow driver.
Speaker 1:You'll be talking, you'll be talking. Yes, they won't see me doing that.
Speaker 2:Except for it's a split screen and they will see you.
Speaker 1:No, I thought it was when you were talking. I thought you were talking and then it just showed.
Speaker 2:No, it shows both. It only doesn't show you. If I edit you out, I'm not editing that out. You're a dork. What's your um? All right, so, um, oh, that's what I want to do, A little bit of housekeeping real quickly. So we are switching up the format. We are going to be we're still going to be bi-weekly, but we're releasing the episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month. So you will be hearing us this episode on July 1st.
Speaker 1:So my little thing that I like to do, scott's thoughts. I like to bring in something. I like to bring in something. A famous quote about garbage In this week's Scott's Thoughts comes from Juan Neil Young. That's right that, neil Young. And he said I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand under an old streetlight, near a garbage can. And what was she doing there, you ask? I think perhaps looking for the day's old donuts that they had thrown in the dumpster. But we may never know.
Speaker 2:And if nobody's told you today stay trashy, buckle up y'all. It's a hell of a ride. Scott and atlanta got nothing to hide from the gold to the garbage.
Speaker 1:We bring the sass welcome aboard.
Speaker 2:This is gilded trash, bye.
