Hello and welcome to Crushcast. I am your host, Steph Lopez.
Speaker 2:And I am your co-host, Jess Lopez.
Speaker 1:And today we're just going to be chatting it up about embarrassing moments, social media and a little bit of Tay Tay, tay Tay. Let's get into it. So I want to jump into talking about last week's podcast and what we learned from that, which is it was educational, and what we learned was what Jesse we learned that we need to be more prepared for things.
Speaker 1:That's right. We realized that we are not in fact fly by the seat of our pants kind of folks, even though we I never was. I never have been, I am a planner.
Speaker 2:And I thought I was spontaneous, but it turns out I don't think I ever was either.
Speaker 1:In fact what? Okay, so I asked you. Oh yeah, I asked you if you were in fact a spontaneous person. And do you remember what you said?
Speaker 2:I said yes, if I plan it, If I'm prepared. Yeah, if I'm prepared.
Speaker 1:Which was like what? So? Not spontaneous at all, no, so it's awesome. On the topic of preparedness, we've been talking a lot lately about freelancing and how we've both done various kinds of freelancing throughout our careers, our creative paths, whatever, what is journeys, I don't know, and so one of the things I realized very early on, I did photography for a while and what I realized is that, jumping into it, I thought I'm coming in, I'm taking pictures, I'm editing those pictures, I'm delivering them, and to me, that was the entire thing.
Speaker 2:Right, like yeah, and it turned out to be much more than just that Completely.
Speaker 1:Because what I think a lot of the times and this may not happen to all creatives if you're listening to this and you're like that is not me, that's so great, and I mean that like seriously. That's great, Because that was not the case for both of us as creatives. You're not in school learning how to start a business. They don't really teach you that part of it, or they didn't when we were in school.
Speaker 2:Or they did, and we just didn't take the class.
Speaker 1:Well, but I mean like I feel like if somebody is going to teach that part of it that it kind of makes sense for to be somebody who is involved in a creative field, right, yeah, definitely. So I would guess that that does exist in certain places, and maybe now, but to my knowledge nobody that I really know. That came up like in the 90s, early 2000s and stuff, and before that I don't know that there were people that were really teaching them how to have a creative business, teaching them the business side of creativity. Like back in the day there weren't really people that were freelancing, like they worked at.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they had the day job. They did their work, they went home.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And you know, spent time with family and dinner and all of that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like back in the Mad Mid days, yeah.
Speaker 1:I want to talk about that show, because that is just too much. It's too much, it's too much, it's a lot, it's a lot. That's all I can say, anyway, so yeah, so I wish if I could have gone back to 21,. No, no, I was probably about 25, maybe when I take the photography class. Maybe I wish that I could go back and say, hey, take a business class, or even just, or even like a continuing education class, and learn something about business. Learn how to sign up with the state, learn how to just even basically do your taxes, or who to take them to to get your taxes done. Learn about how to market yourself, like all of those things like YouTube was that even a thing then? Or you could just watch, like videos that already existed, right, people weren't content creating.
Speaker 2:Right, it wasn't nearly as huge as it is now.
Speaker 1:Right, but I mean, what was it? I don't even remember. I guess it was just you, just watch existing videos.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1:Well, they certainly there. Weren't people like doing all the things that they're doing right now?
Speaker 2:Yeah, there were no like influencers or anything like that at the time.
Speaker 1:Right. So there weren't. There's no way that I could have gone onto YouTube and learned stuff that I needed to learn about photography at the time. There weren't all the DIYs I mean. Right now, if I went to search, there would be a ton of tons, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And that would be amazing. So if that had existed, but it didn't, and so I just wish that I wouldn't know that. And so if there's anybody out there and that's thinking about freelancing or doing something like that, I would highly encourage you to take some kind of business course or find some type of mentor that can guide you in those areas, because it's not just about creating your art. That's a small piece of being a successful freelancer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's a lot more to it than just making awesome stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You have to learn the business side, you have to talk to clients and fill out the paperwork and you know meet deadlines, yeah. There's a lot going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that honestly, for me, I didn't know everything that I needed to know specifically about photography, but I did know some things about business, in the sense that I had worked for companies not photography companies but I mean I had learned some things about managing my time. That was very important. I had learned how to speak to people, and that all happened from jobs that had nothing to do with being creative.
Speaker 2:You found ways to be creative is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1:I found ways to be yeah, that's right, like I. So I worked at a concrete company for a bit and I created I'm using air codes, which nobody can see a fax that had like an image on it and I Frankenstein it using a copy machine, a Xerox machine or whatever, because I didn't know anything about Photoshop or any of that stuff. I didn't know nothing. I just knew that if I cut out this picture and I stick it on a piece of paper with like some tape on the back of my little picture, that if I then Xerox that it was like hey, I've created like a layout or a flyer or something.
Speaker 2:That was actually pretty punk rock of you. Because, that's how they make jeans back in the day.
Speaker 1:You know, I never considered myself to be even remotely punk rock.
Speaker 2:You're not, but I'm just saying I love it.
Speaker 1:It's like there's not even going to be a debate about it, it's just flat out there's. So we're clear. You're not like you were actually very adamant about that.
Speaker 2:I've tried to get you to get to get a mohawk, to cut your hair in Mohawk and that would have been pretty punk rock, but you declined.
Speaker 1:Look, if you just want a new wife, you could just flat out say it, like I mean, I was like because that's not happening, like I'm not doing that, that is that Okay, no.
Speaker 2:Can I get a Mohawk?
Speaker 1:No, Okay, no.
Speaker 2:Didn't we kind of play around with the idea of making a scene at one point, like way back in the day it was going to be, we were going to talk about, we're going to? Go, we were yeah, we were going to go to different restaurants and, like, review them. In our scene we're going to talk about music that had been coming out movies. I remember now we were going to call it antenna, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Do you remember that? I'm really surprised that I had completely forgotten about that, but you remembered.
Speaker 2:I'm surprised that I remember.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because there was some kind of like. I feel like you made some kind of graphic for it, or something I did, I did, I actually did a couple of covers.
Speaker 2:Wow yeah.
Speaker 1:That's what we should have called this podcast antenna.
Speaker 2:It's time to rename.
Speaker 1:We're rebranding hey it's not too late. We're only a month in. If Taylor Swift can rebrand herself a zillion times, we can do it too, in the middle of a tour. We're in our antenna era, you see. You see how I'm using swifty terms, that's right. I swiftly Nope, I'm swiftly changing the subject because this is getting geeky, okay, so anyway, antenna. I had forgotten about that and that is crazy. But I kind of feel like maybe I came up with that idea because I might have just wanted to go out to eat.
Speaker 2:I think I was on board the minute you said food.
Speaker 1:I was like Also, we have no money, how are we?
Speaker 2:going to do all of those things. I don't.
Speaker 1:With what money were we going to do all of that with?
Speaker 2:I don't know. That's awesome. We could review the sandwiches that we made.
Speaker 1:Or we could review the dinners that you would make when you were cooking, where I will never forget this One of the first dinners that you made me after we got married and we were living in that that duplex on second no, on French, on French, in downtown temple, and you made rice and mashed potatoes In the same meal and I was like, okay, this is great, I love these two things, but maybe not two starches in the same meal, but I did eat it.
Speaker 2:I think I was going to put some French fries on that as well, wow.
Speaker 1:I don't even remember what the protein was, and it doesn't matter, because I was so.
Speaker 2:There may not have even been a protein.
Speaker 1:I was just so zoned in on the two starches that I was staring at that. I was like what is happening here? And then I thought maybe you just hadn't had a chance to do that growing up. And you're like I'm an adult, I'm married, I can do what I want. I can have rice and mashed potatoes. At the same time I was like you were trying to be like golden corral at the house.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I was like golden corral.
Speaker 1:What could we have called that caramel? Something you know like how my aunt always said that we were going to have beautiful caramel children. Yeah, I remember that because of my very pale skin and your light 10. My favorite color is light 10.
Speaker 2:I always liked how she would mispronounce my last name.
Speaker 1:I can't. I can't Not because it's embarrassing, but it was funny.
Speaker 2:It was cute. How'd she do?
Speaker 1:it.
Speaker 2:She pronounced it Lopez yeah.
Speaker 1:And that's why I started calling you Lopez dispenser, which was ridiculous, but yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm not French.
Speaker 1:But so we had, though, because of that, for a hot minute we were caramel design. That's right Design for your eyes, not your thighs.
Speaker 2:Not your thighs.
Speaker 1:Okay, you know what we have like a. You drew this adorable character like in this. Is she like in a 50s or 60s looking dress, kind of thing? She's holding up like a caramel bar. It's a caramel bar that says caramel design.
Speaker 2:I vaguely remember that yeah.
Speaker 1:We have it somewhere. I know we have it. I've got to find it because that's good stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Thanks for bringing that up, lopez. I briefly mentioned Taylor Swift, but I was thinking about this earlier today because I saw just yet another post about her and Travis whatever his name is I don't know what's his last name Kelsey.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right, and my thought was I am so thankful that social media did not exist when I was like around her age or well, it was started to, but like the age she is now. But like, I was just thinking about it and I'm like there are so many people out there who, number one, think that they know exactly who she is based off of you know what concerts and song lyrics and all that, and I'm sure that that does speak to who she is, but it's like people are just judging her and even probably him and everybody else on social media and I'm just so glad it didn't exist, like, especially like when I was in high school.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:No, I don't want to, it's.
Speaker 1:But can you tell, is there anything that maybe could have happened back then, that, like I mean that you are glad that there wasn't a camera readily available to?
Speaker 2:pose what happened, I would have gotten in trouble a lot more than I did.
Speaker 1:Interesting, why is?
Speaker 2:that If people had.
Speaker 1:Jesse Lopez.
Speaker 2:Phones with cameras.
Speaker 1:Suddenly your eyes look very like there's some mischief in them. Do expound.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, you're in high school and you run around with friends and you do stupid stuff. You don't think it's stupid at the time, you think it's cool, nothing like a lizard or anything but you know you do dumb stuff.
Speaker 1:Like what you do. That was dumb.
Speaker 2:Well, one time some friends and I went to Lions Park.
Speaker 1:I mean, this actually isn't really dumb. Okay, now listen. I know why me and my friends went to Lions Park. I did not do what my friends were doing at Lions Park, but I know why they went. We're just smoking, Not cigarettes.
Speaker 2:So we went to the park and actually your friends probably knew my friends.
Speaker 1:So that's a whole other story.
Speaker 2:We would go to the park and they had that creepy clown spinner thing.
Speaker 1:Yes, I hate all clowns, but I had no business spinning around.
Speaker 2:Nope.
Speaker 1:Anyway.
Speaker 2:I think most people from Temple will know, oh, they'll know. Like the OGs that are our age, will know what we're talking about, because I don't think it's there anymore, is it?
Speaker 1:If it's not there, I will go tear it down.
Speaker 2:It's probably some kind of like hazard now, but anyway, it was this pole, and on the top of the pole was this I guess it was a big metal clown face, and these two swings hung down from each side of the clown face.
Speaker 1:It was a torture device. I think it was made from the guy in Saw.
Speaker 2:It probably was. It probably inspired those movies. But there were two swings and you would sit, you would place, I assume, children in these swings and spin the clown head and the kids would have a high old time. But some friends of mine and I went one night after, probably hanging out with your friends After having a high old time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, having. Yeah. I was there with my friends and we got the idea to try to sit on those swings and spin each other around, but what ended up happening was one of my friends got into the swing and the other one another one grabbed the other swing and started running around in a circle and the guy in the swing started to slip out and me and some of my other friends who were watching the whole thing just died laughing. It was so funny because he had slipped out fully by this point and he was hanging onto the chain while the other guy was running in a circle really fast and the swing is. He's being spun in a circle really fast and he can't control himself and we just died laughing and he finally just let go and went flying and we just lost it at that point. So actually I think he would probably be happier that we did not have a cell phone to record all of that 100%, or somebody to vaguely talk about what you were doing on Facebook, those vague bookers or what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:It's called vague booking or whatever. Something like that. I don't think I made that up, but anyway, that sounds legit, you know well.
Speaker 1:Since we're talking about Lyons Park, I will just say there were some geese or ducks or whatever up near the swimming pool. Yes, right, okay, they were so mean dude. I was having a high old time with one of my friends up there, so we were just having a regular time and we were there. I don't really know what we were doing, I think we were just hanging out, talking, and. But you know what, though, we did? We were probably smoking. I spoke back then. I've talked about that before. That's probably what we're doing. It was in high school, anyway, and we didn't have any bread or anything Like. We weren't out there to feed these creatures, we were just, you know, out there to chat or whatever. Anyway, point is is they started coming at us Like, where's our food? Because that's what people did.
Speaker 2:Like Debo and Friday what'd you go?
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly. They're like hey, that's where you meet to get the stuff. And it's like we know you got the stuff and we were like we have nothing and you don't want what we've got. And so here they come and they chase us from like because we were kind of at the pond area and they chased us from the pond across the street to her car and we're getting in her car and they got onto the hood and we are like freaking out but also laughing at the same time and I thought I was going to pee my pants because it was one of the funniest things, that it was funny and terrifying at the same time. It was like Kujo, but like duck version, but they were like so serious about it. They were like it was like a gang or you know, we've been like we went down to what is the park in Belton I don't know how to say it. Anyway, the park in Belton by the creek right, and we've fed those ducks before, oh yeah, and the geese are so rude and they're not afraid of you.
Speaker 2:They're the gangsters of the park.
Speaker 1:Yes, and they're like what do you have for us Try?
Speaker 2:What's your tribute? This relates to another story that Steph has about running away from something and hopping in a car.
Speaker 1:What.
Speaker 2:When you guys jumped into the car, did you lock the door so the geese couldn't get in.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but I don't think I like where you're going with this. There's only one time that I remember where I locked the door in a situation that you thought was extra funny and that thing had multiple legs. Is that what you're doing, yo?
Speaker 2:we were driving in the car this was not discussed previously.
Speaker 1:This is a. What is this? What is that called? When people say that it's not unsolicited but it's an unauthorized biographical information about me?
Speaker 2:We were driving. I don't remember where we were going, but we were going somewhere and Steph was sitting in the passenger seat. Just, I guess, on your phone.
Speaker 1:I will never forget this, because we were by the mall. We were by the mall, we were heading north on 31st Street.
Speaker 2:So we are driving down the road and Steph looks over and sees a little tiny spider it was not little On the passenger side, a rear window or mirror and it scares her and I think you actually made a sound, right, well. And you were like, oh, there's a spider, there's a spider. And then you go and literally locked the door so the spider could not get into the car.
Speaker 1:Look, all I was thinking was safety first. I wasn't thinking like what makes sense first. I was like I've got to protect myself.
Speaker 2:Well, mission accomplished.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know the spider in Stephanie's defense.
Speaker 2:The spider did not get into the car.
Speaker 1:But what is so great about this is I love that we're like we're so glad that social media didn't exist and all these things back then, but we're going to talk about it here for people to listen, but you know what All five people who are listening shout out to you guys?
Speaker 1:All of y'all that are listening. I hope you enjoyed the story, but I mean, honestly, at this point it is funny and that one kind of is still embarrassing, I have to say. But I mean, I don't care at this point. It's a story, but I don't need it to live on and on and on in video format. I don't need that. I don't need that in my life, just like.
Speaker 2:OK.
Speaker 1:So I thought of a few things that I could share, and a couple of them have to do with my mother. I love you, mom, but you know where I'm going with this when I'm talking about you with scissors and school haircuts. So junior high is a very tough age, right Like being in middle school. That is tough, it's cutthroat. It is so cutthroat and you can get beat up for certain things.
Speaker 1:And I decided that I needed some bangs and my mom was in about to take me somewhere just to get bangs cut, when she could just do them right there in our apartment. So we go into the bathroom and she starts cutting my bangs and they're wet and she starts cutting them. And I look over and I think that's a little short and I tell her I was like mom. I think this is good, because even then I knew that when I blow dry my hair, my hair is going to bounce up. Well, at this point it was too late, because they did bounce up. Oh well, how do you know? They were half an inch long. I am not kidding, I'm not kidding. I know they were half an inch long and I was like that's it. I'm going to get beat up. I'm never going to get a boyfriend ever. I'm so glad that my school pictures are right now.
Speaker 1:So what else is I going to do? It's not like those little. You know. There's those really short bangs that are like those French bangs or whatever that people do. No, no, no, they were shorter than that, I'm telling you, half an inch. So I had, like my I think it was called Jerry Rudding, something like that, I need to look it up Hairspray and I will spray and crud out of that stuff and then blow drying them so they would like stick into my hair, but they probably just look like some kind of weird hair plugs or something. I don't know. I blocked out how they looked after the fact, but I remember she just kept going I can fix it, I can fix it. And she fixed it to the point that they were half an inch long. Yeah, repeatedly saying that is not a good sign?
Speaker 2:No, and yet I trusted this woman and continued to let her cut my hair throughout my adolescence.
Speaker 1:So my mom cut my hair once Once.
Speaker 2:She, she gave me the Lloyd Christmas special, the Jim Kerry hairstyle in Dumb and Dumber. Oh my God, I'm so glad, I'm so glad I was right across my forehead and I was very upset.
Speaker 1:How old were you? 12. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Something like that. That's a dangerous age.
Speaker 1:It's a very dangerous age.
Speaker 2:My mom, I, love her Mom, I love you. When she was done cutting my hair, instead of saying, oh well, let's just go to the barbers, or you know?
Speaker 1:to a salon or whatever and get it fixed Right.
Speaker 2:She just laughed.
Speaker 1:She was like I've been rolling you in the school of hard knocks.
Speaker 2:She literally laughed at my hair when it when she was done with it.
Speaker 1:I mean, at least she was. I mean I don't know, that's pretty funny.
Speaker 2:It is very funny, that's pretty funny. No, now I look back and I'm like, yeah, that's, that's pretty funny, but at the time I was, I was mortified.
Speaker 1:See, if we had met then, first of all that would have been creepy, because I would have been six years old, so but yeah, like twilight weird but see, I think that's about the same age that my Half-inch bangs happen to me, so maybe it's a rite of passage. If anybody else had some kind of issue at 12 years old getting your hair cut by your parent, please share. And if you have pictures, even better. Like I don't have any thankfully I have none.
Speaker 1:You know why? Because we didn't have cell phones to break out. And also, even at the time, if my mom had taken a picture of that, we may not have ever seen that surface, because she was notoriously terrible about getting filmed a bit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I, for a long time I was too, when we were using all of those little disposable yeah. I'm sure there's a Stack of them somewhere that are like 20 years old at least. Yeah, 30 years old.
Speaker 1:I Think, like I mean, for the most part those were pretty like normal Things that happened to you as a kid, and lots of people like, oh yeah, I had a terrible haircut and you know, and people could say that, but the kind of things that happened to me Continue to happen in my adult life.
Speaker 1:So the one that I can remember the most because I had cheetos today for lunch and this reminds me of that and I know it's one of your personal favorites- yes, it is where I worked and I worked in the corporate world and we and we were having a meeting and there was some guy there that was like an executive or VP, I don't know. He was from the corporate office, which was a very big deal Corporates gonna come in. So everybody dressed as if we really dressed that way every day and didn't wear like flip-flops to work, and everybody empty out your trash can.
Speaker 1:But so it was just like, okay, everybody's gonna do this. So, anyway, we had our meeting and then we were going to resume after lunch. So I think they you know what, no, why did I have cheetos there that day? They didn't even spring for like food To serve us an actual meals. I'm gonna blame it on that, do it. But so I had cheetos and I've just eaten something, eating a cheeto, and but I eat them two at a time Usually, depending on what size they are these were the regular cheetos right, not the poof poofy.
Speaker 1:No, there's the regular ones not the flaming hot ones?
Speaker 2:No, definitely not.
Speaker 1:So I'm not punk rock, remember, do flaming cheetos. So anyway, he's sitting across from me and Somebody says something humorous, or maybe even I said something, I don't know. But at one point I go oh, or, or like I laughed, or whatever. So cheeto number one goes flying across the table and it lands in front of him, and that would have been pretty bad within itself, and it's happened in front of a group of people. But to make matters worse, cheeto number two is Coming down my chin in a thick saliva, coming down my chin just like dribbling down and like falling in slow motion down my chin and the curvature of you know of my chin and down my neck and then falls and it's like slow motion where everybody is watching and I just wanted to just disappear, you know just oh yeah disappear and I really don't remember what happened after that because again, I just I don't know.
Speaker 1:I I think I did disappear, at least in my brain. So I can't remember what happened after that. I just know that I was more.
Speaker 2:So continuing in the vein of embarrassing stuff that happened. This happened in a time of cell phones. I didn't and, and it's probably on someone's cell phone.
Speaker 1:Well, I have a picture of it, yeah, so I know where you're going.
Speaker 2:There is actual evidence of this. So in a previous podcast I've been, I talked about going to cons and having tables at cons.
Speaker 1:One particular con was it in Waco, yeah it was the first one that we ever attended in Waco, so it was the first local con, so that your mom could actually Make it.
Speaker 2:Yeah to this convention so I had a table and I was selling prints and stuff and my, my mother, came to the con and she was very proud Seeing her son at a con, you know, selling his wares yeah.
Speaker 1:It was kind of you know it was sweet and dear.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was doing something with my Talent. Yeah, and she was very proud, yes, so proud in fact, that she took a picture of me at the booth without me knowing it no, she took, we took a picture.
Speaker 1:I think it's either either she took a picture of us or we had. I can't remember if she's in the picture or not.
Speaker 2:No, it's. I didn't know. She was taking the picture, so I was probably sketching or something.
Speaker 1:Well, I have the picture of this, so we can look back but go ahead.
Speaker 2:So she took a picture of me at the booth and Then proceeded to take that image to one other booth that printed t-shirts, the they could print. They, I think they had like their own set of imprints that you could choose from or you could bring your own and they would print, you know, your pictures. So my mom decided to print that picture that she took of me drawing at my table. She printed it, had it printed on a t-shirt and she did she wear it back to you. Yes, she came back and she was wearing the T-shirt of me at my booze.
Speaker 1:And we were in a line of like.
Speaker 2:so we're in an aisle of tons of our friends that also table our conventions Right right, yeah, all up and down that aisle were a bunch of our friends, a bunch of our artists friends and creative friends, and so I remember McClain McQuire coming up to me and saying it's Jesse's mom wearing a T-shirt of the pictures she took and I was like yeah, yeah yeah, she was. I remember she had me get out from behind my booze and go up to people with her while she was wearing that shirt of me.
Speaker 1:She did.
Speaker 2:I don't remember that and I was introducing people to her. That's awesome, and she was wearing the shirt of me.
Speaker 1:Was this before or after she took? So we had a friend that was right across from us who's an amazing artist, Danny Dale Carroll, and he was. He had some of his art there and he had Hulk and somebody was going to buy that Hulk and she said don't buy that Hulk from him, buy this Hulk from my son. And we were like, ooh, that's not how that works.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh you can't do that. And then later in the day I remember specifically we had this really young girl walk up to the table and she's like and that's this really short Hispanic lady in the bathroom and she said I needed to come over here and buy her Doctor who print because I think she was wearing a Doctor who costume. But, bonus, your mom knew that it was a Doctor who costume. So how cool is that.
Speaker 2:My mom does like Doctor who. She does, she's a fan.
Speaker 1:I have to say, though, we made a sale.
Speaker 2:We did make a sale. So thanks mom, thank you.
Speaker 1:Okay, we're gonna ask the final question before we close this out, and I've seen this question before and I thought it'd be really fun to ask you, so I wanna know you're being sold as an action figure, what two accessories do you come with?
Speaker 2:I would come with an iPad and a hat, like a trucker hat Sweet, with probably some really cool looking patch on it. All right, what two items would you come with?
Speaker 1:Wait, I wanna know what you're wearing, though.
Speaker 2:Oh, just my standard outfit of a band T-shirt with a flannel shirt over it and my jeans and probably my new Air Jordan lines.
Speaker 1:Okay, but what band shirt?
Speaker 2:Band shirt. Oh wow, Probably Ramones.
Speaker 1:Okay, that makes sense Cool.
Speaker 2:I think that's me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2:And what two items. What would you be wearing? What would your action be?
Speaker 1:What would I be wearing? Be wearing Probably pajamas. I don't really know, probably pajamas.
Speaker 2:Pajamas.
Speaker 1:And like yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty laid back and if that's not how I want to be memorialized as an action figure, then I don't know. Probably jeans and a comfy shirt, because that's just kind of how I roll endingly. Earrings, and I'm not gonna consider that one of the accessories, because that's just like because Barbie already has earrings and accessories on and then she comes with some other things. But so my two accessories that come with me would be probably a bottle of ranch dressing and a cat and a cat.
Speaker 2:Your shirt would have cat hair on it.
Speaker 1:I mean, I think that would be authentic.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh man, that's a tough one, though, because it could also just be a cat and a blanket, like a throw blanket. So I don't know, it's a toss up, it's a cat and ranch dressing, or a cat and a blanket.
Speaker 2:The blanket would also be covered in cat fur.
Speaker 1:Unless I'm wearing a blanket like a snuggie. I do not want to be memorialized that way, though, so I'm gonna stick with pajamas and a bottle of ranch and a cat with cat hair on my PJs.
Speaker 2:Would the ranch bottle be regular size or would it be one of those emergency bottles that you keep in your purse?
Speaker 1:Mama didn't raise no fool. It's gonna be the large ranch so I can get the most out of it. It's gonna last. There's no point in just getting a whole bunch of 16 ounce bottles of ranch. I'm gonna go for the biggest one they have, which I think is like 32. Don't touch.
Speaker 2:Judgment free zone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have come to the end of this podcast. Yep, it's been fun.
