Oh my god, it's been so long since we've done this.I know.Oh my gosh.Don't forget everybody's cords.Don't wrap your cords, people.Mine was.Okay, well, of course yours was.Oh, I'm so tired and it's so hot in here.It's not hot in here.
But you're not excited that we're finally back to this?You know, I'll be real honest.
I'll be real honest.This morning I woke up and I thought, Oh, let's just quit.I was so tired.And it was it was it was it's a shit show.No, life is just a shit show.But now I feel but I think I got a little energy from running down the hill.
So there you go, Teddy.Yeah, but welcome back to Tramps, Ghosts and Ballerinas.Yeah, here we are.Hello.Hello. We know it's been a while.I'm Ellen.I'm Ellen.Ab Mariah.Yeah, it's been June 17th was our last episode posted.
Yeah, in that episode, I said we'd be back in August.She lied.
What's one more month?September, right?The end of September?Two days will be October.
This will come out in October.
That's okay.It's fine. We'll have a couple people super excited to see us come back on.I mean literally two people.I think three.I think Nick got a new fan.
In our hiatus we got a new fan.
I think he'll be excited.
Should we all take selfies and that will be our... I just figured I'd get a better angle because yours showed my double chin.
oh god well let's go this isn't a book episode because it's been several months and you know so much has happened a lot has happened yeah yeah what's our big news i feel like all of us have big news i don't have any big news yeah bullshit yeah you do what
what's plans for the house oh jeez your studio yeah i was gonna say 6 21 well come on it's still an idea it may not happen as soon now that what you want but yeah as i'm looking around trying to pack up the kitchen i'm like well there's there goes my studio push that for another year but
That's okay.So yes, I'm formulating in my brain as a 12 by 16 studio off separate from the house.So that is very exciting.Oh, space all your own space of my own.So yeah, and and our fridge broke.
So which of course happened when I'm home and now when Andy was home, kind of that seems like a pattern.Yeah, it's because I noticed when shit breaks.Mm hmm. And it was the fridge was probably already not broke and he just didn't notice.Mm-hmm.
You mean already broke?Yeah Yeah, already not working.Yeah, I was like, yeah, so I would say the same I'm sure not broke
And you know, so, you know now we've ripped started to rip the kitchen out and it's gonna be a complete gut to the studs and flooring and and Then I took the everything shower.
Mm-hmm, and I flooded the basement because of the shower no, it's because apparently I use too much toilet paper and he thinks I got it on a thing.That was his noise.
So while he's cooking our dinner on the Blackstone in the garage, we're the only working fridges, I'm like, hey, honey, the basement flooded.And he's like, oops.Yeah, he was not real happy.
He's like, I'm cooking.There's nothing I can do about it right now.
Again, as if it's your fault that it flooded.
Yeah. Well, again, I don't think it is.He said that he in the entire time that he's lived alone, nothing's flooded.When he moved in, when Amy moved in, flood.And then when I moved in, it started flooding again.
Maybe it's just because people are actually taking showers.Well, he takes a shower every day. Does he?Yeah, 100%.He takes more showers than I do.So yeah, my news is very boring news compared to the two of yours.
What do you think the chances are at this point that we should get Andy on the podcast?Today?No.
No, I'm kidding.I'm kidding.That would be probably the cherry on top of like a soon explosive Andy.
Like if he wasn't doing all of this, I would be like, call him.
He'd be like, no, just put that speaker right next to our microphone.
Yeah.He'd be like, yes, honey.I'd be like, hey, want to come on the podcast?And he'd be like, no.He'd just hang up.Yeah.No, thank you.Just no response.Just end call.
No, thank you.No, thank you.Well, Mariah, what's your big news?If you, what, whatever you'd like to share with everyone.
Sure.Well, you could share all the things except for like addresses.
Right.So I took a new position for the company that the three of us, the three of us worked for, which required, didn't require me.I moved.
It did require you to move.
I don't think I would have gotten the position if I said I wasn't going to move, yeah.So I moved closer to our corporate office.I'm in a different position.Alright, so you got a new job.I got a new job.I'll splice this in real seamless.Plenty moved.
Dust off those computer skills there, Phoebe. Yes, I moved into an apartment.I'm in a new area, new community.All by yourself?I mean, not by yourself.
Big strong men all around.We don't need someone murdering her.Please don't.
Yeah, I do have that right next to my bed at a girl.Yeah, she'll be fine.Yeah.Also, nobody knows where we live, what you do, where you live.That's true.
I mean, only the people that truly are a part of our lives that listen to this.
Right, yeah.So Nick, good luck.
Yeah, maybe we should say both his names.
Should I bleep his name?Probably.
Okay, I can't.Just leave the first name.I don't know that I can say his name without saying both names.
Yeah, let's add in for me.He'll appreciate the name drop.Yeah.
Or just the fact that we're talking about him.Yeah, I'm sure he will.Um, what else?That's really the- That's big news.
Yeah, it's different for sure.
So Mariah's move has caused kind of a domino effect.Of rage.Well, no.Rage and sadness and anxiety.It's making me have to learn like her whole job, which is good.Overwhelming, but good.And, you know, I'll get into a little rhythm.So there's that.
It's just every day I come to work and I don't see her car, I go.
Yeah, last Thursday was exciting.Surprise!
But every other day.Yeah, because the one day I do come back, you're not scheduled to work.
It's all good.Fi, you, what's your big news?
My big news that everybody is well aware of.
The fuck is that from?Or is that just you guys?
No, it's Travis Kelsey and his brother Jason on there.The twin something. I freaking love their podcast.
I've never listened to it.
And then they'll be like, OK, well, I got new news.And they go, new news!
Oh, Jesus Christ.OK, big news.Blanche caught a bird.That's not the news.No, not the news.She did catch a bird, but that's not the news.No, I'm backstands thyroid. Yeah.Yes.No thyroid.Thyroid's gone.Thyroid's gone.You healed.Exquisitely.Yeah.
Nice scar.Levels are going back to normal.Levels for the first time in nine months are reading normal, which is good.Weird.Weird.It's very, it's very unsettling.Why?Because it's like, feels like something else is going to happen.You know what I mean?
Like it doesn't feel- You're waiting for the other shoe to drop?Kind of, yeah. Cause it's like, oh, it's normal.And it's like, well now what's going to happen type of thing, you know?
Cause it's just like, all my, all my stuff's just transferred over to you, you know, I mean, you and your house.Yeah.Yeah.So I don't have a thyroid.I had surgery.It was quite interesting.It's very painful.
We saw you a few days afterwards.
Yeah.It was interesting.I had to have Chris help me get out of bed and shuffle.No, I'm not holding you. Oh, with his tail.Did you see his tail drop when I said that?What was I talking about?
Oh yeah, I had to have Chris help me shuffle to the bathroom, which was not fun.Take a bath, also not fun.Couldn't, like, move my arms.It was terrible.Bruised beyond belief.Yeah.Yeah, but it was good.
And you only could eat, like, liquids.Cream of wheat was my go-to food for several days.
I love cream of wheat.I rediscovered cream of wheat after surgery.Cause, cause I had it at the hospital.
Cause that was actually really fun was being able to, while you're laying in the hospital bed and I'm propped up on like four different pillows and I got the IV and all the tubes, all the crap in me and I'm laying in the hospital.
It's like, you know, 4am and then they had, you know, you have a remote and then if you need help, you push this button.And I would be like, God, I got to pee.I'd be like. And then someone would come and be like, what do you need?
I'm like, I have to go to the bathroom.And they're like, okay.And then they help you get out of bed and you just shuffle to the bathroom and go.And then it's like six in the morning and you're like, God, I'm hungry.And then you go, boop.
Like, what do you need?And you're like, I'm hungry.And they're like, here's the menu.And you're like, thanks.Like room service.Damn.And then the one day or the one meal. I don't know if it was like lunch or... I don't remember how long I was there.
So I had dinner there.That one I couldn't call because I couldn't talk, hardly.And then the next day I had breakfast and I had kind of come to and I'm all drugged up, which was also great.And then I got to call.
And so they're like, push this button to call.And I clicked and they're like, what would you like?And they're reading off the specials and it's like, you know, crispy this and sharp that and stabbing this.
So like all this type of food that's very sharp and, you know, whatever.And then I was like, what do you have that's soft? And they had cream of wheat.
In the kitchen, they don't.
Yeah, and I'm sure they don't probably.Well, I was thinking like your nurses.Well, it wasn't the nurse, though.It was the kitchen that I was calling.Oh, OK.So it was the kitchen workers.And I was like, what do you have that's soft?
And then they'd be like, well.And so I would get cream of wheat and then chocolate pudding with whip cream on top.That was my go-to meal at the hospital.And then when I got home, I was like, Chris, we've got to get some cream of wheat.
So I made him go buy me cream of wheat, and I had that every day for like a week.
What exactly is cream of wheat?
Is it like oatmeal?It's like a wheat.It's like oatmeal, but it's not oats.
Yeah.So imagine oatmeal if it was like blended up into like a cream.
Okay.There is a texture to it.
I love it.Could you add anything to it?Yeah, you can add stuff.Chris added a little bit of maple syrup.
Okay. Yeah, that's what would have happened at our house.
Yeah, it was very good.Okay, so I Chris was a very good nurse.He took care of me for four or five days, so I went with my parents' house.
Last day, I was able to get up by myself and shuffle around by myself, and he had to go to work, and so I was able to make myself food and do all that fun stuff.
And then I didn't realize, I didn't think that I had a weight limit, so I'm carrying Blanche in and out, or I thought my weight limit was like 25 pounds, so I'm hauling Blanche in and outside with got the starey strips on and shuffling around, and then later I learned it was actually 10 pounds and Blanche is 12, so whoop, whoops.
Didn't hurt anything.Yeah, no, it was fine.It all worked out fine.Good.So good surgeon, good team, all good.What was my aunt?Oh!I'm like, you got other news for the love of God.
Say that again, because we were both talking at the same time.
I got engaged!Thank you!Wedding bells going off in the distance.Yeah, yeah, I got engaged.I can't believe I forgot that.Honestly, I thought that's where you were going before you said thyroid, and I was like, oh yeah, that did happen too.
Yeah, that happened first. Yeah.So I did a vacation to Maine and my last day in the airport, I get a call from you two.No, you.You called me.I did call you.To share the news that you got engaged.
We're like, can you FaceTime?And then I just held my hand out.
Yeah.And then you ended the call.Oh, yeah.
And then you called me back.
Because we didn't want to do FaceTime.We didn't want to talk on FaceTime.No, I know.
So that was after? That was in July, so I had surgery end of June.And I started with surgery because we ended the podcast because I was having surgery.Or like didn't end it, but like we took a break because I was having surgery.
So like I had surgery, all went well.The two listeners that listened probably already know. because they follow me on Facebook, or on Instagram.And then, so then in July, I got the strips off.
And we were getting me and Chris, we're gonna have our picture taken by one of his friends, because we have no, like actual pictures together.We have very few.I was like, wouldn't this be fun?And then he fucked up.
Because, like, because secretly for months, yeah, and months, And months.I knew this was going to happen.And I did not.I didn't.Yep.I kept it.No.
Yep.She kept it on lockdown.Sure did.Sure did.So Chris had the ring for, what, four months?Four or five months?Yeah, probably.Yeah.And there was a plan in it all.And then I decided, oh, we should get our picture taken.
Which was part of the plan.
Right.Originally.But it was your idea.
Right. Happenstance.Happenstance.Because that was always the plan.
Yeah, he just needed, if you didn't do the way to get in there.Yeah.
And I was like, we should have our picture taken.And it was like, well, that was easy.And then see what he did was, It was like a Wednesday or something.I think it was a Wednesday or Thursday and we were going to have our pictures taken on Monday.
And I was, we were, it was a Wednesday night.So it was before I had to go to work that week and we're sitting in bed and he goes, you know what you should do before?Oh, we're going to have a picture taken on Tuesday.
He's like, you know what you should do on Monday?And I was like, what's that?He's like, get your nails done.And I was like, now, never in the six and a half years we've been together, have you ever said I should get my nails done?
But he likes when you have your nails done.Yeah, he does.So then, I texted Ellen, and I said, get this.Fucking said I should get my nails done.Isn't that strange?And she goes, I don't know, boys are dumb and just changed the subject immediately.
And I was like, how strange because Ellen normally, you know, you dissect everything, you know, we go, you know, when you
It's true.Talk like a freaking cave woman.It's exactly how we sound.It is.Yeah, that's how we... And we just gesture.And know what each other is talking about.And we know exactly what we're talking about.
Oh my God.And she changed subjects and I thought, how odd.And then I went to work and we're talking and I go, okay, but wasn't this weird?And you're like, I don't know.
And I was like, and then I turned to you and I said, something's going on and you know what it is.And then because I'm a terrible person and I couldn't let it go, I finally asked Chris flat out, I think I texted him, I said,
Or I said, is there a reason?Oh, no.It was more.It was a lot more.Oh, no, there's more.
I'm just saying how the more got kicked off is because I couldn't let it go.And I texted him and I said, is there a reason you want me to get my nails done?And he's like, no, no particular reason.
And then I was like, God, as if he would have told me the truth.
Write that in there.I'm going to propose to you. to you.
Right, but I'm stupid.And then I got really mad.And I was like, I'm tired of the, oh, we're going to get married, we're gonna get married, we're gonna get married and not getting engaged.
And like, just fucking do it or don't do it or don't I don't want to talk about I don't want to hear about it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.And I went all off, and then got home from work and was like, here's the deal.
I don't want to talk about getting married anymore, because it's never gonna happen. It's not happening, and that's fine, but I don't want to hear the, when we get married, when we get married, like, I don't, we're done with that conversation.
So, that's it."And then he's like, okay, and then he's like, well, or no, and then I said, um, thoughts, comments, concerns?And he's like, no.And I was like, no?And then he sat up and he goes, God.And he's like, well, since you insist.
And then as soon as he, cause he smirked.And then I went, no, no, no, no, no.Like immediately regretted by all my actions for the last like week.
And I was like, no, no, no, no, no. And he's like, well, since you insist on not letting us go, and then he reached in his nightstand and he's digging through this thing.
And I was like, and I just kept saying, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.And he hands me the ring and then I bawled.And I, like, not even pretty, not cute, just snot and makeup.And he's like, is that a yes?And I was like.
Yeah, with the gesture like that.And then I put the ring on and I was like, He's like, you didn't ruin it.I was like, I did though. I did indeed ruin it."He goes, it's a better story.
But it actually worked out because if he had done that in front of a photographer, like in front of the guy who's gonna take, you know, I would have ruined my whole, it would have been a shit show.
The photos of ugly crying would not have been... I would have been so pissed if I had to see my face cry like that.
Like I wish, because I've always wanted, you know, someone to get down on one knee and that would have been pretty cool, but I f***ed it up, so.
it's fine wait did he not get down on one knee no because i was like sprawled across the bed and he just sat up and he leaned over and just gave it to me oh
Well, what you could do is tell him, after five years re-enact, re-propose to me.
Well, when we had our picture taken, I was, because I said, did you, because as I'm, you know, just snot everywhere, I was like, did you have a plan?I was just going to ask you that.And he's like, yeah, and I was, pictures and blah, blah, blah.
And I was like, were you going to get down on one knee?And he's like, yeah.And I was like, damn it, I always wanted that. And he's like, well, I can get down on one knee for the photos.And I said, I would like that.
And then we both forgot about it when we had our pictures taken.
Yeah, both completely forgot about it.So maybe for our wedding photo.I was just going to say.You can get down on one knee just for fun.
Yeah, but so. You in your dress.Oh, and then I asked him, I said, what were, did you know what you were going to say?And he goes, yeah.And I said, well, what were you going to say?
He goes, he's like, I was going to get down on one knee and hand you the ring and say, Ellen Fee, will you marry me?And I just said, you're so stupid.I was like, that's what you were going to say?He's like, yeah.He's like, I thought it was funny.
No, like, sweet, like, couldn't live my life without you, you make me a better man.No.Nobody says that.I don't know.No.
Her man better.Hell, in my Hallmark movies they do.But they also can stay for a month out of one suitcase, too.That's true.And have a different outfit every day.And, like, four winter coats.
Yeah. That'll be her life.She'll have the guy that gets that.Like, whenever she finds somebody, and first off, he better f***ing tell both of us that he's proposing to her, because we gotta coach him.
All I gotta say is it is not happening inside of a house, because you now make three people that I know that got proposed to inside of a house. What's wrong with inside of a house?
Nothing, I just, when I get proposed the image that floats in my brain, I always picture, like, outside, hidden photographer, behind a tree.
Down on one knee.Yes.I can't live my life without you, you make me a better man, etc, etc.
Yep.Okay, well, I'll log that away.
for later.I'm sure it'll be conversation cause we're going to make that happen.
So yeah.So Ellen knew the whole time.Yup.Sure did.And you guys were really good liars right up until the end.
I got your ring size.I got all the stuff.Yup.Yup.I had no idea.Yeah.Cause it was, he's like text me and he goes, Hey, do you think you can get her ring size?
Now, did you know at that point when he texted you that?
yeah okay and i'm like oh oh go ahead go ahead no you go ahead no no finish up and then i'll and i was like yeah i can work that out and i open my desk drawer and i whip out my my rings my ring of ring sizers and i was fiddling around with it and i knew just
Soon, she would come in, as she always does, and go, hey, what are you doing?Let me see that.I should see how fat my fingers got.
And so, I mean, I could have said all the words that she was going to say and say, if you would have been sitting there and go, watch this. Yeah, 100%.This is what she's going to do.It's like a dog and a treat.I'll be like, set it on my knee.
Because every single time you pull your ring sizer out, I go, oh, let me try.Yeah.As if I've not done it like eight times.Yeah, so.Yeah, thank God you've had that in there for a long time.Otherwise, I'd have been like, what are you guys doing?
What the hell's going on with this?Well, and you're like, what are you doing?And I'm like, well, I want to see if I want this size on, because it was close to my anniversary.So I was like, I'd like a, you know, I'd like a, A different ring.
I go, I want a band on top or maybe a band, you know, something over here.And so then I then I had decided to text Andy and go, hey, just so you know, if Ellen texts you and say, hey, you better get Ellen a ring for her year anniversary.
I go, I'm lying.I go, I've been lying to her about this.And he and I go, unless you want to.
No, you never did.Okay, I couldn't remember if I did or not.
But you had to think of like all the angles, possibilities.
Now let me ask you this, because I don't think I've asked you this.When he told you that he was gonna propose to me, tell me that.I never asked you that.Like, when did he tell you?Where did he tell you?What was your response?Well, we were at Dave's.
Yeah, so tell me.Well, I don't know.We were drunk. Did he just say, oh, by the way, I'm going to propose to Ellen?
I was like, you know, are you going to make this happen anytime soon?And he's like, oh, yeah, I got a plan.I'm like, all right.And then.And that was it?Yeah.
Oh, for fuck's sake.What did you what part of the Hallmark movie did you need now?I wanted him to say, Ellen, throw on some Ellen teeth.I need to ask for your permission.
It was funny because John asked me, I think it was John who asked me if Chris called and got my dad's permission.And I said, I'm not a cow.Like, I'm not a commodity, John.
Somebody said that to me too.Some, I don't remember who it was.Well, did Andy Collin talk to your dad?I'm like, I am a woman in her 50s.Right.Yeah, I was like, I'm not a child. dad has not had a say over my life since I've been 17 years old.
And I moved out of the house.
Like, yeah, like, no 40 years later, the thing I love my dad.
I know you do.Yeah, me too.And I respect his opinion greatly.But here's and this is what I told john, I said, here's the deal.If they I said, they've already given their blessing because... They like him.
Because they like him and they actively support us together as a couple and in our relationship.Building a life together.And they want to spend time with him and they send him birthday cards and Christmas... He's already part of the family.
He's already part of the family, so they already have given their blessing.I said, he doesn't need to ask.And also, I'm in my 30s.
I said if I was like super if I was in my early 20s and it was like you know maybe I could understand it a little bit more but like I'm in my 30s we've been together for six and a half years what the fuck right no it doesn't need permission yeah
He needed my permission.He didn't ask, though.We talked about it, but no, it was nothing like... I don't remember... I was like... I think he's like... I go, you're going to do this, right?He's like, oh yeah.I'm like, okay, you got a plan?
He's like, yeah, I got a plan.I'm like, okay. Then he texts me a picture of the ring.
Which he picked out all by himself.Yeah.Oh, we should post a picture of the ring on Insta.Should.Absolutely.He did a very good job.He did a good job.It's very pretty.He's very proud of himself.
Yep, as he should.Yeah.So it was the car picture, like when Andy went and bought the gun.So I saw the dash.The steering wheel and the ring on his lap.
Oh, like the car photo.What are you talking about?Yeah.Okay.
I don't know.So, yeah.I bet he was just so excited.Andy and I have known for a long time.
And the whole time I was, of course, sick as a dog, so he didn't want to do, he didn't want to propose to me then.
No, he wanted you to be healthy.
You know, and feeling better.
And not have this thyroid sticking out of my neck.Yeah.Yeah.Because that would have been not a good... Because we talked about that, too.
He's like, no, I'm not, I'm waiting till after surgery.
Yeah.When she's feeling better.Because at that point, surgery was like, for a sure thing.Yeah.Yeah. Where did he, do you know where he had the ring hidden?I do know where he had the ring hidden.
I was kind of pissed because I was like, I cleaned this whole house.I mean, you can't tell now, but I cleaned this whole house, but it was, so our night, we both have matching nightstands in the bedroom and it is raised up a little bit.
So like you can put something underneath it.And he had this little tiny like rectangular tote and he had random crap in there.I don't know what's in there.And that was underneath it.
So when he got up and he pulled that out and then the ring was buried in there. not ever, cause I, you know, I take that out and I sweep underneath it and vacuum, you know, whatever.And I never thought to look in there.
I guess I just didn't think he was going to propose.I fully had made up my mind that he wasn't going to propose.
I mean, kudos to him for finding a decent hiding spot, especially if, you know, at one point he was kind of ready and then. you got sick.No, I was already sick.Yeah, she was already sick.So he knew he wanted to wait until you got better.Yes.Yep.
So I would have got started lengthy amount of time to have something hidden.Yeah, in the hopes that you weren't gonna find it.
Yeah. Well, I don't know.Do you dig through his shit?No, but if I find random Lego pieces or whatever, I try to put them in something that's his, so I don't lose them or vacuum them up or whatever.
So I could have opened that up and thrown Legos in there or something in there, but I don't think I necessarily would have.It was a good hiding spot, but...
I mean, I have, I think, gone through most of Andy's drawers and stuff, but like... Yeah, I've gone through all his stuff.
Not on the regular.Well, I've gone through stuff, not being Snoopy, just trying to clean and organize the loads of crap that's everywhere in our house.Yeah.
So, you know, like I usually unpack Andy's suitcase.He takes his dirty clothes out and then he just leaves the clean ones there.Yeah.And then after about four days, I'm sick of looking at it.I'm like, yeah, don't.
Right, you haven't lived with a man.
Yeah, it's quite it's interesting.There was a his Chris's backpack that was sitting in the living room for a couple months, at least.And I don't come in here because we haven't been recording.I have no purpose for this room.So
So on Wednesday, I was trying to clean, because there was just a layer of hair over everything.So I was trying to clean, and then his backpack was still in here.And I was like, God.And so I was like, what is?
I was like, I got to take this downstairs.And it was unzipped.And I looked in there, and it was a whole bunch of clothes from at some point he had left and spent the night somewhere.I don't remember the last time he was not home.Oh, my God.
And he took that with.And I'm like, those are just dirty clothes in here.This whole time, there's just been dirty clothes in here.Thank God there was no food.Yeah. So I was like, okay.
No, Andy always takes his dirty clothes out of his suitcase.
Well, that's good at least.But then does, does, does he have the intentions of like, Oh, I'll get to this when I get to this.Or does he be like, Oh, if that sits there long enough, Ellen will take care of it for me.
probably prior to me moving in and that hole where I you know, their little reading nook was that was a cashier and Piles of clothes and maybe one line laundry basket it probably Would have just stayed there.
Hmm, but in my experience every time he's used his the suitcase I Right away.He puts his dirty clothes in the laundry.
He's always Puts his whatever shit, but but if there's like a pair of jeans and some socks and a shirt that never got wore it would stay in there until He maybe needed needed it like next week either needed that suitcase or that pair of jeans and It would literally probably just sit there
Yeah, Chris would probably do the same.
It literally pains me when I... I can't wait till you move in with a man.It's gonna be so fun for us.Like, I struggle.Like, even when I moved into my apartment, seeing totes filled or just shit lying around.
Because, like, I'm at the point where, like, I need stuff.So I'm just like,
I've got two things right now, full, just kind of tucked away in the corner behind my chairs that I don't see, because I know they're there, and I'm just waiting for the opportunity to buy a piece of furniture to put that stuff on there.
But it just, like, itches at me.I can't wait.Even, like, doing my dishes. Yeah.I can't let them sit on the counter.
Wait till you wait till you're cleaning and you sweep with your hand, a pile of fingernails off of the nightstand.
Yeah, I wouldn't do that.No, that doesn't happen at our house.Oh, he's very good about that.He takes the garbage out from underneath the bathroom sink and clips it in there.
Well, he has a trash can now by his bed specifically.Well, one for all his trash and two because he- Nail clippings.And just like throw them away, please.I looked, I was cleaning the one time and I looked at that and I was like, Yeah, no.
My apartment faces, I can see the sunset and the sunrise, I should say.And if I've got my drapes open and the sun is catching my floor just perfect, I can see the dust particles or my hair that just naturally sheds.
And I'm just like, ew, that's gross. So then what do I do?I vacuum.I never see it.Plus I also had the worst experience moving in.Oh yeah, your apartment was not cool.I no longer am barefoot.I can't be barefoot in there.I have to have slippers on.
Or socks.I can't wear socks because I'm afraid I'm gonna see bottom of my foot black.
Well, this morning, so I got up and I had to like clean the bathroom because you guys were going to come over and the toilet should be clean should you need to go.Cause I'm a respectful host.
But don't use too much toilet paper.
Yeah.Well, my basement doesn't fold like yours, knock on wood.One for one, two for two.But I was cleaning the bathroom and got that, I'll clean up whatever.And I had just kind of, you know, quick vacuum, not anything serious.
the entryway and then um and I had come out of the I was standing in like just the when you walk into the kitchen and there was like something all over the floor I was like what the fuck is that I'm so tired and just and so I grabbed a like Clorox wipe or whatever and there was like something like because I run the vacuum over and it didn't pick it up because it looked like a leaf or something I was like what the fuck is that and so I'm I'm wiping and I'm wiping up the spot and I look and I'm like is that just shit
So it was like somebody like stepped in shit.And then stepped in the kitchen.Only got it there, thank God.I don't know how, I don't know.And I don't know if it was 100%.But I'm pretty sure it was just poop.Yeah.
And so then I was like, are you fucking kidding me?So just wait, Maria.Wait till you have.He's gonna have dogs and cats.Oh, dogs and cats.
He's gonna be a sleighting troll freak.I gotta reel that in.Yeah, you do.And then, yeah, but.And then don't explode.
I'm going to try not to.I can't wait.Like whenever you, when you get a boyfriend or, you know, whatever, however things happen.
And then like the first time he comes over and then like, let's just say, sees you for the first time as you are with your matching pajamas.
and your slippers that also coordinate with your matching pajamas, and then like your robe that also coordinates with all of these things.I don't have a robe.You will at this point, I guarantee it.
And then you have your hair up in like a matching scrunchie, because you probably have a matching scrunchie, with your coffee cup that somehow also coordinates with your clothes, your whole apartment, your bedding, everything is coordinated in like a magazine.
I can't wait for him to just look and be like, oh god. I'm really in for it.
Or he's gonna be like, she's got style, I like her.Oh, yeah, he'll love her.
No, he'll be like, when does the freak come out?Yeah.That is the freak.Yeah.Yeah.
You never really know a person.No.
No.It's all coordinated. You know, and I, I like a theme.
It's not bad for, it's not bad.It's not bad.It's just, it's like a Hallmark movie.And again, not bad.I like a good theme.Very different than me.Yeah.Yeah.
I did just buy new bedding, so.I can't buy nice bedding because my dog humps it and eats it.Yeah.So that's my life.
Well, I can't buy nice bedding because we use different blankets, like separate blankets.Yeah.I also don't make my bed.So there's that. I mean, I straighten our bed every day, I don't... Nah, big ball.
I actually like to get under the... Do you want to hear something really stupid?You mean more?You've never seen this movie, guarantee it, you may have.Have you seen The Rescuers Down Under?No.
Okay, well, okay, if anyone's seen The Rescuers Down Under...
There's a part in that movie, so it's a cartoon Disney movie, there's a part in that movie where the little boy who lives in Australia, they pan into his bedroom, and he's sleeping in his, he sleeps in like a hammock, and his clothes are over him, like in just this big wad, and that's his like blanket that he's sleeping under.
I don't, anyway. for whatever reason, I really enjoyed that as a child.And now when I get into bed, and my blankets are in a big wad, because I sleep with two or three because it gets cold.I like to get under them and not straighten them.
Because I feel like I'm the little boy from Rescuers Down Under.I'm 32 years old.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, my statement before I just bought new bedding. I sleep with only one of the three that I bought.
Oh my god.So the other two are just for decoration.
Yeah.We're very different people.But I have a shit ton of blankets, so I have that.Going for you.We're the same on that.Yeah, just very different.
Oh, funny.All right, well, we've been recording for about, hang on, 33 minutes, plus the probably 10 minutes we recorded before.So should we conclude our we're back?Yeah, that's what's been going on.And then move on to our books.
We can all go to bed.Yeah, sure.Yeah.Okay, so that was it.Welcome back.Welcome back.We're back.We'll probably do not as not an episode a week because somebody had to move.
Yeah, it's gonna take a little bit more coordinating.Yeah, so probably two episodes a month.
