Speaker 1: Welcome to Buns and Banter, a podcast by work Busties
Speaker 1: for work Busties. Hey, I'm Lauren and I'm Ali. We're
Speaker 1: both morning show hosts for iHeartMedia. We're both millennials, and
Speaker 1: we're both trying to figure out how to build the
Speaker 1: lives we dream about, dating, marriage, career, career and being
Speaker 1: a mom. How to get through a week without crying.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Buns and Banter. We're glad you're here. That's humbly.
Speaker 1: I think my thighs are too big to sit cross
Speaker 1: legged anymore in these cheers. Yeah, that's all right. It
Speaker 1: fits the mood of the weed up there, and it hurts.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit like a Oh God, just don't watch
Speaker 1: this video on YouTube. Welcome to it.
Speaker 2: Whoo Okay, So yeah, let's start with you because wow, wow, wow,
Speaker 2: I feel like there's a lot to unpack.
Speaker 1: Well, I want to start out with a story first,
Speaker 1: because I feel like you and I talk so much
Speaker 1: about how busy we are, crazy stress we can be,
Speaker 1: and like sometimes do it. I feeling I feel like
Speaker 1: sometimes you have those moments that remind you like, hey,
Speaker 1: you need to slow the fuck down for a second,
Speaker 1: and it happened yesterday, and I feel like it almost
Speaker 1: I almost died, Oh tell me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was a good reminder, but it was also like
Speaker 1: a like father son, Holy Spirit, thank you Jesus for
Speaker 1: taking the wheel on this. I had so much to
Speaker 1: do the other day. I had like a client meeting,
Speaker 1: straight into Sophia's preschool open house, straight to flag football
Speaker 1: practice and then a birthday party. And it was our anniversary.
Speaker 1: And it was our anniversary. Oh yeah, we did absolutely
Speaker 1: nothing except all of those things. You shared an umbrella
Speaker 1: flag football? What do you mean so romantic? Ce? But
Speaker 1: I'm speeding. This is all on me user error. But
Speaker 1: I'm like speeding to get from one event to the next.
Speaker 1: And I'm taking this the plain Field exit if you're local,
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean, right off of ninety
Speaker 1: six or whatever that expressway is, I don't know whatever,
Speaker 1: And it's a twenty five mile per hour one. It
Speaker 1: had started raining and it was too fast, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, my car like lost control. Oh horrifying,
Speaker 1: like shit my pants, horrifying. Yeah, so I could feel
Speaker 1: like I was like, oh my god. And I realized
Speaker 1: it immediately. That curve came so fast. I was like, shit,
Speaker 1: you are going way too fast for this. What are
Speaker 1: you doing? This is irresponsible? And my car is just
Speaker 1: like hydroplaning, skidding. I'm off like I went off into
Speaker 1: the grass, like thank god, missed one of the like
Speaker 1: turn signs, the yellow arrows, and I was and then
Speaker 1: corrected itself, and I was just like, Okay, that was
Speaker 1: a literal life and death reminder. You need to slow
Speaker 1: the f down. Yeah, And I just thought to myself, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I thought, oh my, oh my god. Sometimes I
Speaker 1: think you and I both like I won't speak for you,
Speaker 1: but I think we are going so fast doing all
Speaker 1: the things, trying to get all the things done, so
Speaker 1: we have like an ounce of energy for ourselves that
Speaker 1: sometimes you need a physical reminder, like, bitch, you're going
Speaker 1: off the road. You need to like right yourself and
Speaker 1: figure this out better. Yeah, isn't that crazy? That is crazy.
Speaker 1: It's such an experience. Oh that's so scary. So not
Speaker 1: to open like a buzzkill. It was my fault. I
Speaker 1: was going too fast. People have told me, Mom, I
Speaker 1: bought up a fast driver. But take a second, like
Speaker 1: deep breadth in, deep breath out, and give yourself a slowdown.
Speaker 1: Did big boss him tell you he spun out in
Speaker 1: his Tesla on the way up North a couple weekends ago.
Speaker 1: I had no idea. Hmm.
Speaker 2: He totally spun out, Like he said, same thing. He
Speaker 2: was on the highway. He wasn't going that fast. It
Speaker 2: was somewhere between seventy five and eighty yeah, something on there,
Speaker 2: and he just the road was like a little bit wet,
Speaker 2: and he just completely he was going straight and then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden just hydroplane lost control and spun
Speaker 2: into the median, into the like the grass grassy median,
Speaker 2: and like, Tesla takes video of everything, right.
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, do is it like talk to
Speaker 1: you through the situation? Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then because you like had a not an emergency incident,
Speaker 2: but some kind of like you know whatever, for Tesla,
Speaker 2: it keeps recording for like the next i don't know,
Speaker 2: ten minutes or something, just to like make sure everything's fine.
Speaker 2: But he showed us the video. It was super scary.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: So he was going to put new tires on his Tesla.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he ended up doing that, but take.
Speaker 1: A second, slow it down, very be very demure.
Speaker 2: About where you're headed on the road, very mindful, very demure.
Speaker 2: Some of you aren't when you drive though you're not.
Speaker 2: And it's really unfortunate because I have really been trying
Speaker 2: to work on my road rage, and it's just it
Speaker 2: ain't happening. It ain't happening, No, And I'm so impatient
Speaker 2: by the time we leave work, where the road rage
Speaker 2: would be worse. I got the way in who we
Speaker 2: don't see very many people work good. When I get
Speaker 2: out of here, we are very fortunate that on our
Speaker 2: way into work, it's usually before five o'clock, so there's
Speaker 2: like no one on the road. So like the biggest
Speaker 2: gripe is like the lights are red when they don't
Speaker 2: need to be, because that's a good you know what.
Speaker 2: I yellows are everyone's friend or a blinking red But
Speaker 2: just like a regular cycle before five o'clock in the
Speaker 2: morning doesn't need to happen. I'm sitting here, I'm wasting time,
Speaker 2: I'm late for work. What do we do wing? But
Speaker 2: when we get out it's like lunch rush.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I had the absolute.
Speaker 2: Pleasure of being on twenty eighth Street at around four
Speaker 2: thirty five o'clock. Oh god, And I had to get
Speaker 2: from twenty eighth Street in Cascade over to Grandville. Oh,
Speaker 2: and I took and I was like, ain't no way,
Speaker 2: I'm taking twenty eighth street. There are I have a
Speaker 2: list of a one hundred things I'd rather do besides
Speaker 2: take twenty eighth straight between four and five o'clock. So
Speaker 2: I was like, I'll take forty fourth.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh look at the faith.
Speaker 2: It was such a stressful drive. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's just because we're not used to rush hour traffic.
Speaker 1: I yeah, I never remember I have to share the road,
Speaker 1: my god, Like people don't use their blinkers. People just
Speaker 1: like cut into your lane without People go like twenty
Speaker 1: five miles an hour in a forty five zone, and
Speaker 1: then you're stopped at all these lights. Why are there
Speaker 1: so many lights? Like you can't even.
Speaker 2: Get fifty feet no before you hit another light on
Speaker 2: forty fourth Street. It's like yes, And it just I
Speaker 2: was so stressed out and I had such a headache
Speaker 2: when I was done with that that I like, I
Speaker 2: got home and I went to bed like almost immediately,
Speaker 2: and I woke up the next morning.
Speaker 1: With a headache.
Speaker 2: Oh girl, yep, And I thought I was getting sick
Speaker 2: because then I got hot and I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, I'm getting a fever. Oh my god, I
Speaker 2: have the new COVID. Oh my god, how.
Speaker 1: Did I you know?
Speaker 2: But I was fine. I think I was just like
Speaker 2: I worked myself up.
Speaker 1: God, because where I'm at, because I'm a couple of
Speaker 1: years older than you, i'd be like, holy shit, on
Speaker 1: top of everything else, I'm ParaMed apozzle, not demure, not
Speaker 1: not mindful? Am I doing it right? I warned to
Speaker 1: Ali before we started this, I said, I'm gonna sound
Speaker 1: like a senior citizen here because this is a huge
Speaker 1: TikTok trend right now. And I don't know if we're
Speaker 1: I saw the original video, yeah, and it's like, are
Speaker 1: we really being demure? Or are we ironic about the
Speaker 1: demure it?
Speaker 2: Ty?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think that's what's so fascinating about the Internet and
Speaker 2: these trends is that it just like kind of evolves
Speaker 2: into like whatever you want. Some of them are really funny, Yes,
Speaker 2: some of them are really funny. But if you're are unfamiliar,
Speaker 2: there is a TikTok influencer who just like coined this
Speaker 2: phrase and has like a large number of videos basically
Speaker 2: like teaching people like see how I do my makeup
Speaker 2: for work, very demure, very mindful. I think, just to
Speaker 2: point out, like how crazy the world has become, Like
Speaker 2: do we need to be going to work in our
Speaker 2: rave clothes?
Speaker 1: We don't. We're gonna set that ground.
Speaker 2: We're gonna wear our cardigan and our crocs, very demure,
Speaker 2: very mindful.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm I don't even have a mind.
Speaker 1: When I get up, I'm literally like, I think these
Speaker 1: pants are clean. I bought this at Target for five
Speaker 1: dollars yesterday and put it on. Do you love it? Yeah? Nice?
Speaker 1: It's comfy that I'm here for comfort. I've said that
Speaker 1: to you. I only get my lashes done because it
Speaker 1: gives me an extra thirty minutes of sleep. High maintenance
Speaker 1: to be low maintenance. Oh that's that is a bunch
Speaker 1: of banner t shirt. I didn't come up with it. TikTok.
Speaker 2: You can find everything on TikTok. Yeah, high maintenance to
Speaker 2: be low maintenance. You know, like, yeah, the girls who
Speaker 2: get their like eyebrows like microbladed and get like eyelashes
Speaker 2: and stuff, because then you don't have to put makeup
Speaker 2: on like ever, and you're just like good to go
Speaker 2: like it's a rather high maintenance I guess cost and
Speaker 2: time appointment, but it saves you so much time and
Speaker 2: money in the long run.
Speaker 1: So I'm a demure you are Oh, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what was not demure. I've been waiting for this. I haven't.
Speaker 2: I've not gotten your I've been waiting for this. I
Speaker 2: saw the video.
Speaker 1: I have not gotten your in real life response to this,
Speaker 1: only because you were you were person ooh, you were
Speaker 1: person number three besides my husband and another coworker to
Speaker 1: know about what happened out on that water.
Speaker 2: Lauren and I parked in to each other in the
Speaker 2: basement every day, every single day, and she gets here
Speaker 2: before I do. So when I pull in, I like
Speaker 2: see her car and I'm like, Okay, my person's here.
Speaker 1: I can do another day. Oh I feel that same way.
Speaker 1: Yeah I do. I'm like, she's gonna be here soon.
Speaker 1: I've only got to hold it together for another four minutes.
Speaker 2: So I pull into work last week or this week,
Speaker 2: yeah on Wednesday, yes, was days ago.
Speaker 1: This is fresh.
Speaker 2: And usually if she's gonna take time off vacation or otherwise,
Speaker 2: she's like, hey, I'm not going to be here, so
Speaker 2: take your pills before you come in tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And her car wasn't.
Speaker 2: Here, and I was like, this was not a scheduled
Speaker 2: day off.
Speaker 1: Nope, nothing that happened with scheduled.
Speaker 2: So I was going to text you, except I thought
Speaker 2: maybe you had taken like a personal day, and I was.
Speaker 1: Like, good for her, I wish, I wish, and Nope.
Speaker 1: Instead I texted Ali. I said, hey, if you want
Speaker 1: to get together and podcast this week, I shit in
Speaker 1: a tackle box and I'd be happy to talk about it.
Speaker 1: That's the best tease. Pooped in a tackle box. I
Speaker 1: would like to say. It is probably rock bottom for me.
Speaker 1: It's easily the most mortifying thing that's ever happened. So
Speaker 1: we have a fishing boat. Chris is a big fisherman,
Speaker 1: and it's been in the shop since March for repairs.
Speaker 1: Finally got it back late last week and I was
Speaker 1: having a really tough day earlier this week and I
Speaker 1: talked to Chris about it from work. So I get
Speaker 1: home and he surprised me. He's like, I've packed a lunch,
Speaker 1: I've packed beverages. The kids are good to go. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go have a boat day. The water is perfect.
Speaker 1: We can even go out on the big lake. Lake
Speaker 1: Michigan is like glass. I've chucked the buoys and it
Speaker 1: was amazing. We went out. We found this great little
Speaker 1: dune beach. Nobody was there. I love it. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: highs are high and the lows are low. Because we
Speaker 1: left later in the afternoon and my son Will really
Speaker 1: wanted to fish and see the sunset. And Chris was like,
Speaker 1: the water is honestly calm enough. We could stay out
Speaker 1: there till sunset. I'm like, oh my god, this is
Speaker 1: so great. So it's about seven fifteen pm. We are
Speaker 1: out on Lake Michigan. I feel like this is important
Speaker 1: because a lot of people gave me like things I
Speaker 1: could have done to avoid pooping in a tackle box.
Speaker 1: We were in the middle Lake Michigan, depth one hundred
Speaker 1: feet scary and like once you get out of the boat,
Speaker 1: we have like we don't really have a ladder to get.
Speaker 2: Back into a fishing boat. It's a fishing boat. It's
Speaker 2: not like a speedboat or like.
Speaker 1: A pontoon anything like that. Yeah, there's lines everywhere. And
Speaker 1: so I'm sitting there and it's been about an hour
Speaker 1: of some tummy issues. Hot girls have tummy problems, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, man, okay, so maybe we should
Speaker 1: wrap it up pretty soon, and boom, brick wall has hit.
Speaker 1: Things are coming. They are coming quick, quicker than anticipated.
Speaker 1: And I turned around to Chris. I'm like, man, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna shit my pants and he goes, oh, I'll start
Speaker 1: pulling lines and I'm like, no, no, we do not
Speaker 1: have that time anymore. He said, I'm gonna go like
Speaker 1: right now, and he just like goes white in the face,
Speaker 1: like I don't I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1: And I go, oh my god, I'm gonna need you
Speaker 1: to pick whatever tackle box is the least important to you,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna need you to look away. And I
Speaker 1: emptied out a tackle box and went to the front
Speaker 1: of the boat. It was literally the scene from Bridesmaids.
Speaker 1: You did what you needed to do. Literally, it was
Speaker 1: lava alley. It was lava. It was so awful. And
Speaker 1: my kids are there and they keep turning around and
Speaker 1: Chris is like, guys, look at the big fish out there.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, don't look at me, don't look at me.
Speaker 1: And it's just like it overflowed out of the tackle box.
Speaker 2: No, I ruined you beach her lady.
Speaker 1: It was. It was horrendous. Then you have to dump
Speaker 1: your receipt and rinse it in Lake Michigan. Because Chris
Speaker 1: is Polish, so he's not gonna buy a new tackle box.
Speaker 1: He's just gonna sanitize and reuse this one. And I'm
Speaker 1: just like, oh my god, there was so much it
Speaker 1: showed up on his fishbinderlake. He's standing there and he's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, babe, I'm so sorry because I know
Speaker 1: that this is just the worst experience for you. He goes,
Speaker 1: but literally, your poop looks like bait in the lake
Speaker 1: right now. And I didn't have toilet paper or anything.
Speaker 1: So I just sat like that, got myself together.
Speaker 2: What did we What did we do to the universe?
Speaker 1: What did we do? What did we do? Three three
Speaker 1: other neighboring boats watched that happen because I saw them.
Speaker 1: I'm saw them, and you know what, all respect to
Speaker 1: the Lake Michigan fishermen because they knew what was happening,
Speaker 1: and I saw them all like turn around like, oh no,
Speaker 1: this has got me worse, and it was just it
Speaker 1: was the worst experience. I may never I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'll ever go on a boat again. I was
Speaker 1: so scared. I am so sorry. I cannot believe I
Speaker 1: shit in a tackle box. Where was the home depot bucket? Exactly?
Speaker 1: And that's we drove all the way back into the
Speaker 1: doc complete silence. We like, get the boat hitched up,
Speaker 1: complete silence. We get in the truck. We're driving for
Speaker 1: about five ten minutes back home, and Christas turns me Eagles,
Speaker 1: you know, this is the first time I've forgotten the
Speaker 1: home depot bucket. And I'm really sorry. Even fashion into
Speaker 1: toilet seat for the home depot bucket. I'm fine with
Speaker 1: the home depot bucket. That little tackle box kaboodle thing
Speaker 1: had no space for what I was about to unload.
Speaker 1: It was horrible. So I took the next day off
Speaker 1: because it was started on the boat at seven pm,
Speaker 1: went until about seven am the next morning. Oh no
Speaker 1: idea what it was. I felt perfectly fine afterwards. I
Speaker 1: don't we all ate the same stuff. But and it
Speaker 1: wasn't even like motion sickness. The lake was crystal calm.
Speaker 1: It was so nice. I would know because had there
Speaker 1: been waves that shit would have gotten everywhere. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was awful. I am so sorry. I appreciate that. And
Speaker 1: then We had a wonderful talk back message on our
Speaker 1: iHeart radio app that came in, and this wonderful listener said,
Speaker 1: I just want to ask SCHMITTI if what happened on
Speaker 1: the Fishminder was a crappy or a brown trout. It
Speaker 1: was like Michael too soon, Michael not solid enough to
Speaker 1: be a brown trout. So yeah, well, you know it
Speaker 1: was something. I bet Chris doesn't forget the home Deeper
Speaker 1: boocket ever again, but he doesn't glass half fall. I
Speaker 1: bet I bet that also never happens to you again.
Speaker 1: That never. That's in a one.
Speaker 2: That's a once in a lifetime. That's that is also
Speaker 2: you know, it was close to your anniversary as that
Speaker 2: happened as well, and as I recall, what was it
Speaker 2: not cholera, but what was the the in College Dale
Speaker 2: manella salmonella.
Speaker 1: You guys, you guys have a believably bad strain. This
Speaker 1: is a this is a theme. I just thought to myself,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god. At one point, it's
Speaker 1: just so bad you have to laugh, like I'm sitting
Speaker 1: and it's just like where was Katie with the gas leaf?
Speaker 1: Get Out? Get Out? I believe it's like six episodes ago.
Speaker 1: If you guys want to track back on the buns
Speaker 1: and banners. I just thought to myself, like, it gets
Speaker 1: so bad, you're laughing, right, It's coming out of me
Speaker 1: like water. And I look at Chris and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: thank god we're married, because you're stuck here. If this
Speaker 1: was like a first date, I would have taken myself
Speaker 1: overboard and risked the swim back to shore one hundred percent, Like,
Speaker 1: thank god he's been with me nine years and is
Speaker 1: not fazed by the fact that I had just the
Speaker 1: worst explosive diary in my life inside his fishing box,
Speaker 1: that is. I will say, though, and maybe ask this TMI.
Speaker 1: We have not done it since.
Speaker 2: There was give it some time, there was no anniversary happening.
Speaker 2: Give it, give it some time, give it some time.
Speaker 1: You know, you just think.
Speaker 2: You you think you know someone after you've been married
Speaker 2: for a while. But every once in a while you
Speaker 2: get to peel back a new layer and layer, you
Speaker 2: get to experience new things together. That's yeah, that's that's
Speaker 2: a mile, so you feel closer.
Speaker 1: We'll say that something. Yeah, for sure sat pretty far
Speaker 1: away for the rest of that ride. But that's just
Speaker 1: a personal thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so has he also fashioned some sort of like
Speaker 2: toilet paper holder to the side of the home depot bucket,
Speaker 2: because I imagine if the bucket wasn't there, neither was
Speaker 2: the TP.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He has actually spent the last couple days in
Speaker 1: his spare time really putting together a bit of a
Speaker 1: bathroom rig. So that was kind. I think that's technically
Speaker 1: my anniversary gift is the bathroom rigs. The bathroom rig
Speaker 1: for this nice, isn't that? Yeah, that's that's odd. I
Speaker 1: didn't think i'd be here someday. Life comes at you fast.
Speaker 1: Life comes at you fast. Can you think of the
Speaker 1: most embarrassing place you've had to poop? I just one
Speaker 1: has the story. I don't know what I would do.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would do. Yeah, but that's
Speaker 1: and you don't have time to think. And I did
Speaker 1: not have time to think. I'm like you.
Speaker 2: I think you did the best that you could do,
Speaker 2: though for the situation. God like, it was either that
Speaker 2: or just like what in the middle of the boat.
Speaker 1: And there's it would have there's no way, there was
Speaker 1: so so much, but I felt skinny us all afterwards. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're only one bat boat right away from your goal weight.
Speaker 2: Always speaking of relationship milestones, Oh, congrats to you on yours,
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. I hope that in I hope
Speaker 2: that doesn't happen to me ever. But you know, how
Speaker 2: long have you and Chris been together?
Speaker 1: This will be married nine years. We've been together since
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. Okay, yeah, so give us some time,
Speaker 1: give us some time. Eventually you will be pooping in
Speaker 1: front of Jimmy too. I don't think so, but I am.
Speaker 1: I am. We're going on our first flyaway trip together.
Speaker 1: Oh that's huge.
Speaker 2: Congratulations to the Grand Rapids Grizzlies men lacrosse team for
Speaker 2: making it to nationals.
Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah, yeah. I finally got.
Speaker 2: To see Yimmy play lacrosse.

Speaker 2: like captain of the team. He was all American. Like
Speaker 2: I've been just chomping at the bit to see him
Speaker 2: play lacrosse, and like the season has been a couple
Speaker 2: months this summer and like I haven't been allowed to
Speaker 2: come to a game, and I'm like, I'm like why why,
Speaker 2: Like I don't get it. Well, I finally get it
Speaker 2: because these games are like they're physical and they talk
Speaker 2: shit and I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it so much. I love watching lacrosse. It
Speaker 1: is such an intense, intensely physical game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is box lacrosse, so it's indoor. So yeah,
Speaker 2: so like the field or or court or whatever is
Speaker 2: much smaller and it's inside and it is just like
Speaker 2: way more physical and I love it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I have nothing to with a second. No,
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: So they're going to Nationals. Their team is like really good.
Speaker 1: That's amazing because they're all like ex college players or
Speaker 1: current college players or like some of them are like
Speaker 1: making a look at like the Professional Lacrosse League like
Speaker 1: PL so they're like these are this is some high
Speaker 1: level and I don't know shit about lacrosse.
Speaker 2: So I'm just like, oh, we're clapping right, let me
Speaker 2: make sure it's.
Speaker 1: The right people. You'd be so good at the shit
Speaker 1: talking now, I know.
Speaker 2: I actually like that's one of my that's one of
Speaker 2: the things that I started doing during the first game
Speaker 2: that I've ever been allowed to come to, is like
Speaker 2: I write down their chirps to each other because they're
Speaker 2: just they're so funny, and none of them I can
Speaker 2: repeat because they're it's bad, and like it's funny to
Speaker 2: me because all of these guys are in their like
Speaker 2: upper twenties and thirties, some of them are in their
Speaker 2: early twenties maybe, so I know that, like all of
Speaker 2: these guys have office jobs that they're going back to
Speaker 2: on Monday, oh with like bruises and cuts and scrapes,
Speaker 2: Like they fight, they fight and they talk shit, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is so funny to me that you
Speaker 2: guys are like so buttoned up at your office jobs
Speaker 2: like Monday through Friday, and then you get to play
Speaker 2: lacrosse on the weekends and just like get a little.
Speaker 1: Bit off the leash. Wow.
