Speaker 1: Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow.
Speaker 2: And I'm Catherine Jileco.
Speaker 1: Every Thursday, we're bringing you a library find, a pick
Speaker 1: from our archives, and a parenting or pop culture tidbit
Speaker 1: or two. Let's start with Catherine's library find of the week.
Speaker 2: So this week's library find is connected to the segment
Speaker 2: to follow, which is Dancing with the Stars. Because did
Speaker 2: you know that Julianne Huff, oh my gosh, has written
Speaker 2: a novel, has written in air quotes a novel because
Speaker 2: it's her and somebody else gets their name on the cover,
Speaker 2: so you know, uh huh, all it is is her name,
Speaker 2: and this is why normal people can't write books and
Speaker 2: sell books, because we have this happening, yes, Julianne Huff,
Speaker 2: you know, putting her name on a book called Everything
Speaker 2: We Never Knew, which is a very generic title, co
Speaker 2: written with someone named Ellen Goodlett who probably is an
Speaker 2: actual real author.
Speaker 1: So did she just come up with the idea and
Speaker 1: say go write this or what?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I do know that that is
Speaker 2: what happened with Millie Bobby Brown, who has her name
Speaker 2: on a book as well, that she sort of had
Speaker 2: a vague idea and told it to an actual writer,
Speaker 2: and that writer wrote it down and it was published
Speaker 2: with Millie Bobby Brown listed as one of the authors.
Speaker 2: And again I say to you, this is not fair.
Speaker 2: Stop it.
Speaker 1: I have mixed emotions about it, because, yes, it's why
Speaker 1: real writers can't get published. But on the other hand,
Speaker 1: real writers are making a nice living as ghostwriters. And
Speaker 1: that's not terrible that I did in the early days
Speaker 1: of my writing career do some ghosting, not for anybody famous,
Speaker 1: and not for anything that I would actually want my
Speaker 1: name on it. But you know, it's it's a it's
Speaker 1: a gig. These people got a gig, and they've got
Speaker 1: their name on the front of a book, and they've
Speaker 1: got something to point to that's gonna be much more
Speaker 1: famous than something that had only their name on it.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: You know, we make our compromises, right, and we cash
Speaker 1: our paychecks and we pay bills.
Speaker 2: And we get three out of five stars on Goodreads.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, and you get talked about on a podcast. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's just like a writer's name again.
Speaker 2: What was that name, Ellen good Lit?
Speaker 1: Ellen Goodlett, We salute you, babe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see what else she's she's.
Speaker 1: Written down payment on a living arrangement or a car,
Speaker 1: or got your kid into a good school.
Speaker 2: Right, she's written a couple of other looks like sort
Speaker 2: of fantasy type books. Those get more stars than her Julienne.
Speaker 1: Huffshow they're better. Do they get more dollar signs? Away?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably not.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just like, we don't live in a
Speaker 1: perfect world. Sometimes you make your you make your compromises,
Speaker 1: and you make your peace with them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's just you know, isn't she doing It's it's like,
Speaker 2: isn't she doing enough? You know, like why do these
Speaker 2: tough enough? Yeah? Why why do these celebrities want to
Speaker 2: do these things?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: That's my question.
Speaker 1: I am cynical enough to think that probably a publisher
Speaker 1: comes to their agent and says, would she like to
Speaker 1: write a book?
Speaker 2: Yeah? That makes me think putting her name.
Speaker 1: On a book will make us dollar sign Right, it's
Speaker 1: all you know, if you don't like it, go to
Speaker 1: the back shelves of bookstore and pick out an unpromising
Speaker 1: looking book by somebody you've never heard of, and go
Speaker 1: pay for it and feel like you're doing something good.
Speaker 1: But we all, I mean, we're all attracted to shiny objects.
Speaker 2: I have no interest in reading Julianne Huff's dazzling and
Speaker 2: heartwarming novel.
Speaker 1: So Katherine's library find this Week is just about shaming.
Speaker 1: It's just like me breathing about it, and she's putting
Speaker 1: it back.
Speaker 2: A big sigh. So Everything We Never Knew. It's just
Speaker 2: one of those titles that you'd never remember it, like,
Speaker 2: you know, you'd be like it was called something we
Speaker 2: always knew, or it was called everything we used to think,
Speaker 2: or it's a very generic title.
Speaker 1: It is very much fiction of the day. You know
Speaker 1: that there's probably you could just throw like twenty five
Speaker 1: words in a bag and pull out five of them
Speaker 1: and put them on your book cover. Yes for four everything, never, perfect, couple, lie, truth, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: those would be some of the important ones around. And
Speaker 1: look at the new fiction and go, there's a very
Speaker 1: small range here. If only we had a book by
Speaker 1: a famous dancer, Yeah, and somebody we've never heard of it,
Speaker 1: although it does refer to her here as rule author
Speaker 1: Ellen Goodlett.
Speaker 2: So that's her other. Yeah, that's her other.
Speaker 1: She's got some something that some people would know her name,
Speaker 1: I guess. But then it just is about the author
Speaker 1: julian huffposits right.
Speaker 2: Emmy Award winner Julianne Huff, please get it right?
Speaker 1: Did you read did you read the reviews that go
Speaker 1: with the three point ten store stars and find out
Speaker 1: if they were mostly saying the same thing you're saying?
Speaker 1: Go back?
Speaker 2: Oh man, the top review that's posted as a one star.
Speaker 2: So that person is on my side.
Speaker 1: Don't give up the dancing dabe.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: Yes, this individual calls it a weird mash up between
Speaker 1: a Hallmark movie and ghost whisper.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so shall we talk about Julianne's real job?
Speaker 1: Yes, Actually, we don't like the way she does that.
Speaker 1: She's fine, She's fine. You know, She's no Aaron Andrews,
Speaker 1: but she's fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do miss Aaron do So.
Speaker 1: Was Disney Night on Dancing with the Stars, otherwise known
Speaker 1: as That's Disney?
Speaker 2: How is this? Disney Zombies? Mickey Mouse? Mickey Mouse was
Speaker 2: in the disco ball, the mirror ball hanging above it all.
Speaker 2: I guess it had mouse ears.
Speaker 1: This is see all the properties Disney is acquired night?
Speaker 2: Yeah, usually don't they send them to Disneyland? Like nobody
Speaker 2: went to Disney.
Speaker 1: It was a sort of on Disney E Disney night,
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean they had Sasha and Jen like paddling around
Speaker 2: in some kind of little lagoon, but that wasn't at Disney,
Speaker 2: so yeah, usually they take them there, and I.
Speaker 1: Feel like the dances that were from a non super
Speaker 1: familiar Disney property didn't go over as well. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just didn't feel as excited about them. Although whatever
Speaker 1: rendition of I guess somebody there was singing kiss the
Speaker 1: Girl live.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was weird, not good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it just the dance just kind of fell
Speaker 1: flat because it's just this guy kind of singing, you know.
Speaker 2: It was a very Holy Wishes. It was a very
Speaker 2: odd cover of that song.
Speaker 1: Yes, agreed, but not as unfortunate as oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: they're show mancing them, aren't they. Yeah, they sort of
Speaker 1: were hinting at it for a few weeks, but Gleb
Speaker 1: was taking the taking the heat on the showmance. And
Speaker 1: now they're doing it with the two of them, and
Speaker 1: she seems perfectly game with it, and he seems a
Speaker 1: little likely. He's like, no, this is her, this is
Speaker 1: her bread and butter, you know. Yeah, but she was.
Speaker 1: She was on the season of the same season as
Speaker 1: joe I guess. She was on Joey's season of The Bachelor.
Speaker 2: I guess, and then immediately she was on The Bachelorette.
Speaker 1: Right awkward, but I guess again, it's a franchise. They're
Speaker 1: just right, you know, they're all actors, so sure. So
Speaker 1: she's like, oh, sure, you know, I'll make the little
Speaker 1: little bad jokes and so just like, maybe I'm getting
Speaker 1: too old for this show. I don't know. Speaking of Sasha,
Speaker 1: have we seen Emma since she was eliminated, because all
Speaker 1: the eliminated pros have been in group dances.
Speaker 2: And I don't think I've seen her. Yeah, they've been
Speaker 2: have the blonde troop girl, And that's a good question.
Speaker 2: I feel like I definitely didn't see her at all tonight,
Speaker 2: but in the past, like maybe maybe just last week
Speaker 2: when they talk about the tour, she's always like front center, yes,
Speaker 2: but you're right, you know, either has something else to
Speaker 2: do or is just.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's very weird because Ezra and Pasha
Speaker 1: have been very front and center and doing stuff on
Speaker 1: social media, as has brit So you see them in
Speaker 1: all the dances and stuff, and it's kind of fun.
Speaker 1: But I wonderful. We didn't really see Gleb either, not
Speaker 1: that I care, because I saw Gleb.
Speaker 2: I remember seeing him in the opening number.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think he was in something else later
Speaker 1: on too when I noticed him, but there was a
Speaker 1: blonde but I don't think it was just hoping that
Speaker 1: if they keep it in long enough shot, we'll just assume.
Speaker 2: Real.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, well yeah, this was I mean getting to
Speaker 1: the actual show.
Speaker 2: Getting to the actual I did enjoy the opening number,
Speaker 2: but yes, the actual show. I mean Steven and Riley
Speaker 2: kick it off. They do a really fun Charleston. They
Speaker 2: make a big deal about how he got us fray
Speaker 2: and then they give him eights, which okay, you know,
Speaker 2: I thought it was really cute and good and okay,
Speaker 2: but fine, But then they give Phedra and val also ates.
Speaker 2: They give Dwight and Danielle eights, which I still enjoy
Speaker 2: watching them, but like, no, that wasn't the same.
Speaker 1: Scoring this season seems to me that it's been very
Speaker 1: high for everybody, and I don't really get it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Fedra well, I mean if she spoiler she
Speaker 1: left the show this this week.
Speaker 2: Yes, she was elimonade, but.
Speaker 1: She has a dance really. Now, you could say maybe
Speaker 1: Steven's not dancing as much as he should. He's doing
Speaker 1: more tricks and stuff and he's not really getting the
Speaker 1: dancing part of it moving.
Speaker 2: And that's what Danny's doing. Danny is doing just lyft
Speaker 2: after lyft after list exactly. Yes, like come on, so
Speaker 2: she's just.
Speaker 1: Really standing there while Val dances around her. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm glad the final three was her and Stephen and
Speaker 1: Riley and Jen and Sasha, and boy, if it hadn't
Speaker 1: gone the way it did, I mean I would have
Speaker 1: been I think Jenn is perfectly fine, much better than Edra,
Speaker 1: so that would have been bad. But if Stephen had
Speaker 1: gone home instead of her, I would have been tipped
Speaker 1: and Riley was Riley needs to work on her game face, sweetie,
Speaker 1: smile all the time.
Speaker 2: This is just the way it is. This is It's okay.
Speaker 1: Sasha was looked a little pained too, so I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe because he's like, oh great, another week of show.
Speaker 2: He was ready to be done with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's why, why is that necessary at all? I mean,
Speaker 1: if it happens organically, okay, But when it's so obvious right,
Speaker 1: wig wik.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, then they had team dances, and I agreed
Speaker 2: that the the second team, which was Alona, Joey, Chandler
Speaker 2: and Jen, their dance was better and it was fun.
Speaker 2: I mean, I thought the Lion King was fine too, but.
Speaker 1: I thought they were both okay, And it's it's just
Speaker 1: this is the way it works. Every time, whatever team
Speaker 1: goes first gets lower scores because they can't score them
Speaker 1: high because they don't know what the other team is
Speaker 1: going to look like, right, and then the other team
Speaker 1: always wins it. So okay, fine.
Speaker 2: I just thought they were more coordinated, they were more
Speaker 2: seemed like they were dancing as a group better.
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed how Alona was filling in as the as
Speaker 1: the fourth guy right for lifts and such.
Speaker 2: That was fun, but.
Speaker 1: Tense times in the Jenna and valehouse, right her team
Speaker 1: Media's team, and then he also.
Speaker 2: Went and then he got eliminated.
Speaker 1: Yes, happy for you, honey, Oh well you.
Speaker 2: Can stay home with the baby. Why I go to work?
Speaker 2: That seems fair.
Speaker 1: Boy. They're pushing the heck out of Chandler, aren't they. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you will love her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and guess what she's got immunity now and bonus.
Speaker 1: Points find her completely indistinguishable. But uh yeah, they brought
Speaker 1: Milo in and it's like, I remember how good Milo was.
Speaker 2: That was fun.
Speaker 1: Remember that had something that she ain't got. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's if it's partner because because he was
Speaker 1: with Whitney and yeah, she gave him some really good choreography.
Speaker 1: But hmmm, she just you know, Okay, it's fine.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: But although she's she was said said something, how old
Speaker 1: do you think she is?
Speaker 2: Oh? I think she's pretty young. I think she's like.
Speaker 1: She said something like I did dig deep. I just
Speaker 1: didn't externalize it. She's like that lingo.
Speaker 2: I missed that, Yeah I did. I mean when they
Speaker 2: were saying that to her last week, I was just like,
Speaker 2: we are we are reaching for stuff to say, you know,
Speaker 2: we are what what now?
Speaker 1: I think perfectly fine. It's sums her up pretty well.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I guess she could win. I thought
Speaker 1: the youngster from last season who won. So she's too
Speaker 1: young and too lacking a fan base. But she just
Speaker 1: bulldozed right till the winds.
Speaker 2: And that was Val. So yep, that's maybe that's why
Speaker 2: Val can be like, Okay, I'll set the rest of
Speaker 2: this out because I won last time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't know if we'd have no if
Speaker 1: Brandon has the chops, but we'll see. There was a
Speaker 1: very cute was it on Instagram? I think I'm not
Speaker 1: on TikTok, so it must have been on Instagram of
Speaker 1: Chandler and Brandon's wife doing a little thing. And actually
Speaker 1: she also did something with Steven's girlfriend.
Speaker 2: So she's just Chandler.
Speaker 1: Just hanging around Brandon's wife.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, she's just.
Speaker 1: Hanging around the ballroom looking for Instagram opportunities.
Speaker 2: I saw the them doing that lift that Whitney did
Speaker 2: where she was laying on the floor and she had
Speaker 2: her legs stuck out and you know, Danny just lifted
Speaker 2: her up by the leg. I saw a bunch of
Speaker 2: people trying that. I did too, including Ilona and Alan,
Speaker 2: and they did not do it, mostly do it, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Brandon and his wife did pull it off.
Speaker 1: So good for them. Mm hmm. But that looks like
Speaker 1: if you don't, if you are not a trained professional,
Speaker 1: that could be painful. My back hurts just watching it.
Speaker 1: Young and lie the people only m.
Speaker 2: Yes, So that's look good. It's pretty impressive. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, Danny and Whitney, it's it's all about those
Speaker 2: those lifts and yep, and yeah, I don't necessarily associate
Speaker 2: Deadpool with Disney Night. But okay, yeah, so good for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, football guy, Okay.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: You know, this is what we have. This is what
Speaker 1: always comes down to. Yes, football guy, the bachelor. The oh,
Speaker 1: speaking of bachelor, Yes, do we know if that guy
Speaker 1: has dance experience? I don't know, but he's good dance experience.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. I don't think he's learning how to
Speaker 1: dance right now, because like with the bachelorettes, usually they've
Speaker 1: been like cheerleaders or some other dances. They have like
Speaker 1: extensive dance experience or experience or stunt experience. He's got
Speaker 1: to have some mm hmm. But I don't think they've
Speaker 1: said anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean at one point they were like, oh,
Speaker 2: he was a cheerleader, and he was like, well it
Speaker 2: was you know, powder puff cheerleading, so that's not really
Speaker 2: anything up. Yeah, exactly, you.
Speaker 1: Were on the dance. You call him, We won't think
Speaker 1: less of you. You're already a bachelor. We were about
Speaker 1: as low as we could go.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we'll have to maybe do a little research
Speaker 2: into that. Just the way he moves.
Speaker 1: He moves very well in addition to you know, and
Speaker 1: certainly learns choreography very well. So I suspect it would
Speaker 1: be nothing new for that franchise. But Jen, on the
Speaker 1: other hand, Yeah, sorry, babe, Yeah, I wasn't her saying like,
Speaker 1: I think you're not getting a music either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it was music.
Speaker 1: But yeah, oh well, oh well, so another exciting week,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Next week is Halloween.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, they certainly make a meal of that. So
Speaker 1: what do we have from the archive this week?
Speaker 2: We are going back to twenty twenty one. We at
Speaker 2: that time were obsessing about what we would put on
Speaker 2: a wish list at this stage in our parenting life,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: Along the lines of you know, wish lists for newlyweds
Speaker 1: and wish lists for people having their first baby. These
Speaker 1: were like what we would want to at our particular stage,
Speaker 1: right right, just the Amazon wish lists people put up
Speaker 1: for no particular.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Some of the things that we had mentioned back
Speaker 2: then were noise canceling headphones so that when we retreat
Speaker 2: to our to our room to work or sulk or
Speaker 2: whatever it is, we do not want to also be
Speaker 2: listening to whatever is going on around us. I would
Speaker 2: still like these even though my children don't live in
Speaker 2: my house anymore, because I still have a human living
Speaker 2: in the house who's whenever they are on the phone,
Speaker 2: we all get to get to hear that conversation. And
Speaker 2: if it's with you know, customers, like please spare me.
Speaker 2: That's that is when I put on the headphones and
Speaker 2: crank up post alone because nice stuff. Yep, yes for that.
Speaker 2: We wanted snacks and treats that are only for us. Yes,
Speaker 2: that is a little more achievable for me now because
Speaker 2: like I said, the children are not in the house.
Speaker 1: In my case, I'm mostly stealing other people's treats. I'm
Speaker 1: fine with that. Oh look, who, somebody has crackers here
Speaker 1: in the closet.
Speaker 2: Isn't that nice? Give me a handful?
Speaker 1: Sometimes they do it when my kids are walking around,
Speaker 1: Like my son will be walking around with the box
Speaker 1: of crackers shoving in his mouth right like some for me? Please? Yep, mom,
Speaker 1: tacks still applies, see way more than I wanted. And
Speaker 1: that's fine, generous boy, loving generous boy. I'll just my
Speaker 1: husband will be sitting on the couch eating a pop tart, and.
Speaker 2: I'll be like, could I have a bit tart?
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't buy the bad stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't bring it into the home, but once it's here,
Speaker 1: I can eat some of you.
Speaker 2: You are entitled to.
Speaker 1: I am entitled. I'm defenseless against this. This is the
Speaker 1: best way to like, not eat things that you shouldn't
Speaker 1: eat is to not bring them into the house. Somebody
Speaker 1: else brings them in the house. You're you know, what,
Speaker 1: what could I do? I didn't do it.
Speaker 2: I don't Probably the calories are are negligible if you
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 1: They certainly ought to be. And you know, I am
Speaker 1: just as with Halloween candy. You know, I'm sacrificing myself
Speaker 1: for my family. Let me throw myself on this stuff
Speaker 1: and consume it so that my children will be spared
Speaker 1: the things we do. But uh yeah, I wouldn't mind
Speaker 1: having you know, my own snack cash here in my
Speaker 1: office along with my increasingly elaborate coffee set. I got tired.
Speaker 1: I have this These reusable filters metal and you don't
Speaker 1: have to put a you know, pull to filter in them.
Speaker 1: You just wash them out.
Speaker 2: Have some difficulty.
Speaker 1: I got tired of washing it out three times a
Speaker 1: day to make myself a cup of coffee. So I
Speaker 1: just bought three filters.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: I have three, most of them dirty, just sitting here.
Speaker 1: But my office is more and more looking like a
Speaker 1: back room of a Starbucks.
Speaker 2: I would like to work in the back room of
Speaker 2: a Starbucks. That's okay. I don't drink coffee, but I
Speaker 2: drink other things that Starbucks.
Speaker 1: Coffee half just right now, Yes, some Moores flavored coffee. Oh,
Speaker 1: and it does not taste anything like some wares. But
Speaker 1: it tastes vaguely coconuty, which is fine, hmmm, as long
Speaker 1: as it tastes good.
Speaker 2: I don't understand what that would have to do with.
Speaker 1: I don't know, because there's no coconut and some wars. No,
Speaker 1: maybe that's a marshmallow flavor and I'm just mistaking it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But as I've discussed before, I get
Speaker 1: this flatavored Coffee of the Month club from Blackout Coffee,
Speaker 1: and they're always really ambitious flavors, you know, and sometimes
Speaker 1: it hits, sometimes it doesn't.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: The weirdness was chicken and waffles, what, which was actually
Speaker 1: kind of tasty.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: Wow, sort of like a crispy fried chicken skin and
Speaker 1: a maple syrup sweetness to it, and then add by
Speaker 1: the end I liked.
Speaker 2: It, add that to your coffee. Well yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean maybe this is how Pumpkins spice started. I guess,
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: So, oh well, okay, anyway, my kids will not come
Speaker 1: near my coffee, so that's safe. That's my that's my
Speaker 1: safe stash. Yes, does you have twice some of this
Speaker 1: coffee now away from us? I don't even want to
Speaker 1: smell it. Just fine? So what else do you want
Speaker 1: to think that I most want? He's not a thing
Speaker 1: you can get on an Amazon or that it would
Speaker 1: do you any good to put on a wish list,
Speaker 1: which would be friends, romantic interests, and spouses. And I
Speaker 1: still have not found where you can order those up.
Speaker 1: And then there's always the possibility that the recipient would
Speaker 1: return it.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's your wish list, but it's their life.
Speaker 1: I think this is one that you have to put
Speaker 1: on order with the prayer and not with Amazon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm working, its likely putting in those requests. Here's my list, amen.
Speaker 1: But because that's the other than that, we're rolling along
Speaker 1: just fine. But I don't see that actually ever happening,
Speaker 1: but I would like it to if I could. Just
Speaker 1: you know, is there a boyfriend of the month club?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, yeah, I mean I if I
Speaker 2: were to think along those lines, it would probably be,
Speaker 2: you know, a career, you know, for the creative child
Speaker 2: who wants to work in the arts. You know. My
Speaker 2: wish list item would be like a steady income for that.
Speaker 1: Amazon, I would like a pack of five big breaks.
Speaker 2: Yes, space them out across the next several decades so
Speaker 2: that they all string together nicely. Let's do that. Yes,
Speaker 2: there you go. That seems like that should be doable. Yeah,
Speaker 2: no problem, no problem at all. And you know we'll
Speaker 2: we'll add to keep the pets healthy forever and ever.
Speaker 1: Yes, that is true. I still could request all sorts
Speaker 1: of pet things. Yes, And actually I have this one
Speaker 1: particular type of dog treat on order from Amazon to
Speaker 1: send me like once a month. So just like I
Speaker 1: get my coffee, the dog gets her greenies. And when
Speaker 1: there's a little gap, you know, something's a little late coming,
Speaker 1: she doesn't understand. It's like, where are the Beleef's my treat?
Speaker 2: Right? What's going on here? I believe you.
Speaker 1: Could tell me about lateness in the mail cycle. I
Speaker 1: do think you could maybe get those other grocery joor
Speaker 1: you could. You could, They're cheaper from Amazon R. And also,
Speaker 1: I don't have to go to the store, right, Actually
Speaker 1: I went to the store. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: said this before, but I went to the store. And
Speaker 1: I don't usually go to the store, but I happened
Speaker 1: to be there. And so I went to the pet
Speaker 1: treats aisle so sad, I'm gonna get her some special treats.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at all the treats. They're so expensive.
Speaker 1: And then I came to the milk bones, which was
Speaker 1: an enormous box for three dogs, Like, hey, I bet
Speaker 1: she's not that picky. They had peanut butter milk bones.
Speaker 1: She likes peanut butter, so she is enjoying them quite
Speaker 1: a bit.
Speaker 2: Bet. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's like, I'm sure there's people who would go,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you give your dog that.
Speaker 2: It's so bad for them.
Speaker 1: Yes, but you know, dogs will eat trash off the street. Certainly,
Speaker 1: I don't think that they need the twenty five dollars
Speaker 1: dog treats.
Speaker 2: We we used pretty inexpensive food, and I swear. We
Speaker 2: tried when we first had the dogs, we tried different
Speaker 2: ones that were more expensive, and they did not like them.
Speaker 1: Not to bless dogs with you know, low brow tee exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're plenty costly in other ways. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: we give ours blue Buffalo, which is a little pricey.
Speaker 1: But I think she would just be just as happy
Speaker 1: with a bowl of rice every night, So we probably
Speaker 1: I could take that down a notch. But you know,
Speaker 1: you want to feel like you're doing the best for
Speaker 1: the kids, that's right, and all they want to eat
Speaker 1: is Kraft macaroni and cheese out of a box.
Speaker 2: But still, I did just see this is very much unrelated,
Speaker 2: but that you know, how the Wicked movie is coming
Speaker 2: out probably, I think around Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Half of it is coming out.
Speaker 2: Oh is a two parter. Yeah, so this is the
Speaker 2: one with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Arrivo. Apparently Walmart is
Speaker 2: selling instant Kraft mac and cheese, you know the ones
Speaker 2: where you just add boiling water. I forgot what the
Speaker 2: like green Wicked branded nous, unless that was it's not
Speaker 2: the right time of year for it to be in April, fool,
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's I'm sure it's No, it's real. It's
Speaker 2: great value. Oh actually it's mystery color. Sorry, it's it's
Speaker 2: the microwavable cop right, you know which. It's not craft,
Speaker 2: it's Walmart brand, great value, and it's going to be
Speaker 2: either pink or green. You won't find out until.
Speaker 1: You and if your kid gets the wrong one, they're
Speaker 1: gonna cry and you're gonna have to make you go.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to eat.
Speaker 1: The unfavored one. Yeah, oh golly, that seems like that
Speaker 1: sounded like such a good idea in a boardroom.
Speaker 2: So there you have it. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: We're just gonna be overrun with Wicked Cross Promotionally, yes,
Speaker 1: it's coming. But first, as I mentioned earlier, the Krabby
Speaker 1: patties are now at wendy'sh Go support your local Wendy's,
Speaker 1: buy an overpriced burger with a tie in. Definitely eat
Speaker 1: SpongeBob's House with a pineapple under the sea frosty.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Man marketing people, the people who come up with this stuff.
Speaker 1: That's actually the kind of job I could have done
Speaker 1: at one time. Probably it's just oh yeah, you would
Speaker 1: have been good at that, because I did work for
Speaker 1: like giftwear companies and stuff, and oftentimes they had cross promotions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, there is a wild time for that
Speaker 1: profession because it just seems like anything goes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you need only look at the pumpkins spice
Speaker 2: takeover of the world.
Speaker 1: I like me some pumpkin spice. I have pumpkin spice
Speaker 1: coffee right behind me as we speak.
Speaker 2: Right next to the chicken and waffles. Next.
Speaker 1: Man, the chicken and waffles is gone, next to the
Speaker 1: hazel nut and the some moore.
Speaker 2: Okay, those sound a little more.

Speaker 1: waffle coffee just for that.
