Welcome to Fit to Be Real.
And a little extra.
Today, Victoria has no idea what's going on.
Well, she sort of does.
She, I didn't leave her in the dark
as much as she left me in the dark last week
because I'm the nicer sister.
There's a nightlight on as, you know?
As everybody knows, I am the nicer one.
But today we're having, we just wanted to have fun today.
It's the end of summer.
We don't want to get too deep.
We want to, we just, we just wanted to have fun.
And so in discussing what we were going to talk about,
I was like, let's just have a random debate
on things that everybody thinks about,
but you never really talk about.
And we just thought it would be fun
to see the differences between us.
It's all these different little topics.
We're going to sort of do rapid fire
and we're going to see how different
we think on these topics.
Let's do it.
I think I'm Victoria.
Hey guys, I'm Carly.
I'm not sure what's going on.
So anything goes, we should do a flip flop day.
We should.
Hey guys, I'm Victoria.
Whoa, why did you do that?
Why?
I flip flopped.
Why did you make me sound like that?
Is that not what you sound like?
Again, these are subjective.
These are our opinions on the things that I'm going to say.
This does not have to be your opinion.
Please don't get angry with us.
You know, or you know what, feel it, do it, get angry.
Live in the moment.
But we're just here to have fun.
We're going to laugh.
We're going to have fun.
And you're going to think of these and be like,
oh my gosh, I've always thought about that,
but never in that way.
Yeah.
All right, these are silly for the most part.
Are you ready to start?
Yeah.
I got, I hold on.
I really wish you guys could see your outfit right now.
She's wearing a Barbie visor, a tie dye T-shirt, shorts.
And she's got like incense burning all over her apartment.
She's a hot mess.
I am just the best.
I don't know what else to say.
She's the best.
All right, here we go.
Is a hot dog a Samwhit your otako?
What?
Think about it.
Is it a Samwhit or a taco?
What?
I'm not going to lie.
I've never thought about this before.
I know.
These are things that you're not really going to think about.
But like these are important to live your best life.
Well, I need this now.
I need to have an answer to this before I can move on.
Well, well, it's a sandwich because of the bun,
because that's more bread-y and that's like a sandwich.
But how it's eaten is taco-like.
I'm going to go taco too, just because, you know,
we need more tacos in our lives.
It's a cousin, I think.
Should pineapple be a pizza topping?
I don't know if I've ever had it.
So I have.
I don't know if I can have.
Like I haven't tried it to be like, ooh, it's horrible,
or ooh, it's great.
I enjoy it because I like the sweetened salt tea.
Should toilet paper be hung over or under?
Over.
What's wrong with you?
I say over too.
Over, under, you have to like reach and find.
You have to reach and find.
Nobody has time for that.
So you say over.
Is it better to be an early bird or a night owl?
Better?
Yeah, better, I said it.
It's better to be up early in the morning.
Like technically for your body, it scientifically
is better to be an early bird.
I have changed my life in the past five years,
so I am an early bird now.
But I never was.
And I will admit that I do like being an early bird.
But I was never a night owl either.
I got.
I was an early owl and a late bird.
Ooh.
Should you wash your dishes before putting them
in the dishwasher?
Andrew, I'm on your side here, buddy.
Carly like adds more food to it and then puts it in the dishwasher.
Like if the clay does clean, she's.
If the clay.
If the clay does clean.
I knew this was going to be fun.
It's all the stupid incense around right now.
It's getting to your brain.
It's not weed.
I know that's true.
If the plate is clean, she'll add more food to it
and then put it in the dishwasher.
I do not do that.
It's fine.
The clay does clean.
OK.
You have to rinse it off and then put it in.
That's not the point of a dishwasher.
That is no.
The dishwasher is not a.
To wash your dishes.
What's the what's the loud thing in the middle of the sink?
The garbage disposal.
Your dishwasher is not a garbage disposal.
OK.
Moving on.
We're not going to agree on this.
Agree to disagree.
Is it wrong to wear socks with sandals?
What kind of sandals?
I mean like flip flops.
There's no debate here.
That's what I was going for.
But like socks and slides are a thing.
No, no, no.
I don't care how trendy it is.
You do not wear socks with sandals ever.
I love a good chooby.
You know why not?
Nope.
OK.
Should cats or dogs rule the world?
I don't like it.
I know because you have one of each.
These are the hard questions in life
that we need answered today.
Rule the world.
Come on.
Cats are awesome because you don't
have to do much with them.
But they're so loyal.
And my cats kind of like a dog.
And then dogs are awesome because they're dogs.
And they won't bat you in the face.
Actually, my dog bats me.
Actually, yeah.
I don't want to answer this question.
All right.
It's cats.
What?
Cats are feisty and smart and should rule the world.
And dogs are the sidekick.
Is it better to be rich or famous?
Define rich.
OK.
You can be rich in love and friendship and plants.
Or you can be rich monetarily.
And you're probably pretty miserable
unless you're paying for therapy.
I would say in this very basic way, I would say rich.
Famous people just don't seem.
I don't envy that.
Yeah.
I love money.
OK.
Are there aliens roaming the earth?
Yes.
100%.
Absolutely.
That's a whole episode.
Oh, yes.
Yeah.
That's a whole episode.
I think we should do a medium psychic aliens.
Done.
Those are way two different subjects.
But Victoria and I are into both of those subjects,
which you might not know about us.
We love going to mediums.
That's one of our favorite pastimes.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
There are 100% aliens roaming there.
Yes.
And if you think we're the only ones on this planet
or the Earth is the only planet with human life,
you need to get out more.
Andrew 100% believes that there are aliens walking the earth
that look just like humans.
Yes.
I could be an alien.
You are not.
You are as basic human as there could be.
Yeah.
Not me.
No.
Is it better to be smart or lucky?
Smart or lucky?
How are they even compared?
Are the internet said they are?
The smart.
Oh, well then.
Huh.
Ha ha.
This is a rapid fire game.
Yeah.
I'm going to slow things down.
I think that's hard because you could have a million degrees,
but not be as successful as the person next to you
who has no degrees, but just got lucky.
This says something to do with another podcast
I want to do on.
I love when you call them podcasts,
but they're episodes.
You just want to do episodes, but you're always like,
well, this podcast, no, this episode, it's just an episode.
I want to do an episode of holding yourself back
and how to not do that.
And one of the things is to simultaneously,
while you're working on trying to get where you're going,
you can work in your field as well as learn as you go.
Like I went to college, but I worked in my field
as I was going to college at the same time.
Like that taking action is one of the same things.
And I feel like lucky people take action.
So they're not really lucky.
They're just doing what they're supposed to be doing,
and they're not waiting for it to come to them.
They're, oh, my God.
So we're going to talk about that in another podcast episode.
Oh, good.
But I do think that those lucky people aren't actually
lucky like we think they are.
I think they're putting something out there
and getting something back.
Like if you believe in luck, you believe in coincidences.
But if you don't believe in coincidences,
you believe that everything happens for a reason.
Right.
So that's a fun.
Oh, this will be a fun podcast episode content idea
throwing out there.
Oh, my God.
OK.
All right.
These are a little different.
These are a little more thought provoking, not as silly.
We'll get back to the silliness.
Oh, not smart and lucky.
No, no, no.
That wasn't it.
Definitely not.
Should parents be allowed to monitor their children's
social media accounts?
Oh, I say absolutely.
And I'm not a parent.
I 100% think so.
Yeah, yes.
That's not even.
So here's the debate that I've heard.
Yeah, who questions that?
There have been social media accounts.
Do you know that app 360 or something
where you can see where your child is at all times
because you monitor them on their phone?
Didn't you grade it?
No, I'm putting a chip in my children's neck.
That's a little different.
But there is an app where you can find out
where your children are.
If they say they're at Betty's house,
but they're really in the park drinking,
you can see that on the phone and be like, yo,
you are not where you said you are.
I can see.
Who's wrong with Betty?
Right.
Betty, get it together.
But you can turn off.
Like, the kid can turn off their location
so their parents can't see.
And the parent gets notified.
I like this app.
Some debate, some parents say, well, when we were kids,
our parents didn't know where we were.
And we turned out just fine.
But that was a different time.
I don't agree with that.
Exactly.
It was a different time.
I do agree with that.
That's how we grew up.
We were what house were we in on the street?
She didn't.
Mom didn't know.
Yeah, mom didn't know.
And but that was a different time.
Right.
So nowadays, I don't think I would have melody knock up
to sell Girl Scout cookies and go inside to the house.
I did that alone.
Yeah, we would go and they'd be like, oh, let me get my change.
Come on in.
And you'd go inside and wait for them to get money out
of their wallets and then move on to the next house of people
that you didn't know.
Doing that today, absolutely not.
Right.
So I say tracking.
Well, are you talking about tracking?
I'm talking about trap tracking and also
tracking on social media.
Like I'm not having melody put out TikToks.
And there's she's what is it called?
lip-singing to with curse words.
She doesn't know what the curse words are.
But like that's what kids are doing.
I think parents should absolutely see what TikTok videos
their kids are putting out there.
Yeah, I think there should be parental controls.
Yeah.
When it comes to social media outlet.
I'm a big fan of hovering and tracking.
So we know where I stand on that.
Should schools have uniforms?
Yes.
Now coming from two people who wore uniforms from kindergarten
to, well, I wore it to senior year of high school.
You wore it to sophomore year of high school.
I liked them a lot.
When I switched to public school junior, senior,
I was like, oh, my God, this is horrible.
Yeah.
This is the worst.
I have to care.
I think I like uniforms because we've
talked about this before.
We were not rich and it kept the richer kids and the maybe not
so rich kids on the same level.
So like on dress down days when all those kids were wearing
Nike and I was wearing Reebok, I didn't like that because.
I was wearing horse shirts.
So I don't really think it depends on the kid.
It does depend on the kid.
If you were more comfortable in your skin,
which I was not in grade school, I had wild curly hair.
And I was like, flip-flopping from cool group to not cool group.
It was a time.
It was a time for me.
I much rather like all being on the same level.
Yes.
We had simultaneous day of dress down Friday.
Paid a dollar for it.
Yeah.
And hat day.
I'll never forget this.
So you could wear a hat as well as whatever dress down
clothes that you wanted.
And it was soft pretzel day.
It was like it was the best Friday ever.
The best Catholic school day ever.
I walked in with a cow print cow girl hat and velvet cow print
pants.
Guys, who's extra?
And I thought I was rocking it.
I will never forget walking the hallway
being slow motion high school movie.
Like, hey, how good do I look?
No care in the world if they were like, what are you?
Yeah.
Who is she wearing?
Who is that?
Because I was in cow print.
Yeah.
I loved cow print.
Sitting on your inflatable chair in our bedroom.
All cow print inflatables.
Oh my gosh.
Lips and gents.
Listen, she's been comfortable with her dress choices
from very since birth.
Since very good birth.
I just want to put out there.
I think we're going to debate on who actually is the extra one.
Should homework be abolished?
Abolished?
Like, should kids just not have homework?
Do they learn enough in school that they don't need?
I mean, the girls that come into the studio are always like,
oh my god, I have to go home and do like three hours of homework.
I'm like, god, darn.
I feel like limiting it maybe.
Like they don't have to write novels at home or do.
But why do you have to leave school and go do more work?
Why?
Yeah, it's true.
I understand projects.
I project.
But maybe not.
I would agree that like, I could do away with homework.
I feel like there's like this.
OK, this is going to be a very unpopular opinion,
but I would say maybe not abolished,
but maybe homework comes on Fridays.
Oh, very unpopular.
I know.
Very unpopular.
Why?
Because there are two days and it's not jam packed,
like 24 hours worth of homework.
Their school bags are tipping them over because they can't stand up straight,
which is basically what it is right now.
Yeah.
But maybe that's where you want to get them to do a few math problems
over the course of two days off if it's a really hard algebra algebra chapter.
Yeah.
Maybe it's not like maybe there is no homework that week for that class.
Like I feel like maybe it's more Montessori.
Yeah.
Montessori.
If you can't say it, you can't go there.
Oh, that sucks.
I was going to try to enroll.
A Montessori type school where it's a little more communal.
I don't know.
This is a good question.
Should we know this doesn't apply to us, unfortunately.
Well, that's what didn't apply to me either.
Should we have a four day work week?
Why doesn't this apply to us?
Because we work seven days a week.
And guess what? If there's a four day work week,
those people are going to want to work out on the three day weekend.
So we're working.
But.
All right.
Well, we're off for those four days of your work.
I like a four day work week.
I think that's great.
Yeah.
I think London just started that.
Yeah.
And I think it's survived.
I think they're like thriving.
I'm into that.
Should we have a mandatory a mandatory retirement age?
Like you've hit 70.
You have to retire.
Well, who's going to give me money at 70?
I well, then you get so security and like all that stuff.
Maybe I do not believe in what would mom do?
Mom would not know what to do with herself.
People like mom.
And yeah, no.
I mean, usually when you retire,
you get like a part time job somewhere where it's fun.
Our uncle Bruce went to a golf shop because it was like something
he really enjoyed and it wasn't like that serious.
Yeah.
I know some people have said that their family members work at or volunteer
at Longwood Gardens.
Yeah.
Well, I was just there.
You know, that is a thing.
You were just there.
I was just there.
It's the same thing as retiring there.
But like so I that, you know, when you retire,
you don't have to completely stop.
But I don't know.
Mom needs to she shouldn't be working so much.
No, she should slow down, but she never will.
So yeah.
So no, no retirement age.
No one can retire.
Work till you die.
OK.
Is it acceptable to eat pizza with a fork and a knife?
Oh, what are you, a monster?
Yeah, a monster.
A fork and a knife.
Should adults be required to take nap time?
Yes.
Yes, 100 percent.
Like a siesta.
20 minutes, siesta every day.
Every while they say 20 minutes is the max.
They say if you go really.
Yes, if you go past 20 minutes,
you're you're starting into some sort of REM cycle.
So waking up, you're always more tired.
You know, you have a real long knock and you're like,
oh, I just don't want to do anything.
Yeah, you slept too long.
20 minutes is the scientific like hard stop
and you'll feel rejuvenated, refreshed and like ready to go.
Oh, why are you sad about that?
Because I don't want to put a time limit on my nap.
That's my fun time sleeping.
When do you net?
Well, I close my eyes every day
when I put Dean down for his nap because Dean is for
and I will not give up his naps
because then I have to give up my 20 minute nap
because we lay together.
We snuggle, he falls asleep, then I get out of his bed.
Bullshit, I didn't know that.
I'm not taking naps.
I'm so annoyed. I know. Sorry.
OK, moving on.
Should people use emojis, informal emails
or business communication?
Wink, wink, kissy face, informal, like my to my lawyer.
Yeah, to a court. Yeah.
I I say go for it.
You do you.
You put an emoji in there.
That means you're fun, cute.
What does it mean? Like they're not serious.
I'm not going to hire them.
Yeah, it could mean that too.
So you'll just never know.
Yeah, you only live once.
We're all going to die. Do it.
Emojis for life.
Poop emoji all the way.
OK, which comes first, the cereal or the milk?
I know what we do.
Cereal cereal and no milk ever.
God, you're just like my kids.
I hate milk.
I know you do.
Hated milk in my cereal.
It makes it soggy.
I know. That's what they say.
But who likes dry cereal?
Oh, it's the best.
You know, put in a solo cup, drink it.
It's great. It's disgusting. OK.
Which Chris is the superior Chris?
Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt.
Hemsworth is tell me things.
Hemsworth.
Hemsworth is the superhero
like Liam's older brother.
He's like Super Jack.
Chris Pratt is from Parks and Rec.
Super funny.
Chris Pratt. Yeah. 100 percent.
Chris Pratt is superior.
All right. What is the correct way to pronounce D-A-T-A?
Say it.
But I think it's with our Delcoism.
No, say it. Data.
Data versus data.
I think the correct way is data.
I think. But I am 100 percent sure that it's data.
Data.
It's like if you're a really hip scientist
and you're like, I got the data.
But if you're like not so with it, you're like, I have the data.
So we're right. Data.
Data. 100 percent.
I know how you're going to feel about this.
Should you read the book first or watch the movie?
I read the book.
Yeah, I knew you were going to say that.
Because the book's always better and the movie's going to be a flop.
Harry Potter was not a flop.
I think that they would disagree with you.
True. No, no, I agree.
And that's not fair to say.
But Harry Potter also, there's way more in the books.
Have you seen the notebook?
Have you seen what it?
I did not read the notebook.
Apps. I don't actually know if it's a book.
No, I have to.
Get out of here.
Your data is off.
Why is the word moist universally hated?
Why? Why do people hate that word?
Yeah, I don't know. Moist.
I'm going to say it to make everybody uncomfortable.
Moist.
Please don't turn us off because of this word.
Yeah, I don't know.
Like why people picked that word?
I mean, there's a lot of words that are like cringe worthy.
But moist is like the probably the most popular, right?
Well, some people think the whole podcast is cringe worthy.
So everyone at Root and Sprig.
I see you.
Shout out, Sherry.
OK, I don't know why, but don't just don't say the word.
Is it a crime to name a dog bear?
Oh, who names their dog bear?
It's another animal.
I think I know a name, a dog, another animal.
It's like naming it squirrel.
I know a cat named chicken.
Oh, my God.
Why are you upset by this?
Because to me, I'm like, why would you name an animal an animal?
We call you Carly.
I mean, it's the same thing.
OK, it's a crime.
Anyway, is dodgeball for kids?
Is dodgeball a game for kids?
I believe it should not be.
Why?
You are putting kids in the middle of a circle
and getting a ball and just whacking them in the head.
You are not allowed to do it from the neck up.
It's a survival game and should only be played in adults.
Yes. And if you can't survive dodgeball,
you should not be graduating school and going into the world.
That's how we weed out survival of the fittest.
Is ginger ale actually the best medicine?
Italians think so.
I mean, ginger is good for a lot.
Yeah, why not?
Best medicine.
All right, this one's huge.
Is in sync actually the better boy band?
Boy band more so than Backstreet Boys.
If you like Backstreet Boys, you like moist.
There we go.
Hand in hand. So much hate.
I don't even care.
Is in sync the superior boy band?
Yes, they were dancers and singers.
Yeah, I do enjoy the Backstreet Boys.
I like them.
I think we need to put that out there.
They're larger than life.
They are larger than life.
The BS bees.
And we want it that way.
But and that's fine.
I hate you so much.
I've been to a Backstreet Boys concert, a couple, actually.
What?
Mm hmm.
Glossomest.
Sorry.
But we've also been to like 16 in sync concerts.
But we believe that in sync is the superior.
It's not subjective. It's fact.
Yeah, fact.
Can ghosts get scared?
Hmm.
Asking for a friend.
What do you think?
Can they get scared?
Yeah, that's why they go away.
They like pop in and then they get scared by you and then they go away.
Oh, yeah, definitely. That's fact.
That's science.
Wait, have you ever seen those memes that are like, man, what are like
two thousand and twenty like ghosts going to look like?
Are they going to look old timey or are they going to like rock some like
crop top and baggy jeans like a choker?
Yeah.
Parachute pants.
Look, I'm trying to see one of those kind of ghosts.
That's how they scare you.
They're zipping off their parachute pants and making jorts.
Has anyone seen like a 1980s ghost?
Oh, my gosh.
No, no.
The hair that would be ideal.
I don't know if they get scared.
I feel like they get scared every time they walk into my room at night
and see me with my mouth wide open sleeping and they're like, oh, no, this one's fine.
Are race car drivers athletes?
Great debate.
Why is that a debate?
That is a skill that they stay alive.
You know, fast they go.
Right. But are they athletes?
Because some people think race car drivers are athletes while others say it's a skill.
I don't know what a training program for a race car driver is, but I am picturing
some in my head that I've seen and they're all fit.
So I think to be real or they're just fit.
They're fit to be race car drivers.
Actually, they fit in the car.
So they have to be.
I feel like there's some sort of training
athletically that goes and involved in it, even for like golf.
I think they're talented.
I'm not sure if they're athletes.
I'm more inclusive than Carly.
Victoria is a better debater than I am.
If you guys haven't noticed that yet, she really like thinks about it
where I'm like, this is what it is.
I'm gray. Carly's black and white.
Yeah, I'm very black and white.
Love black and white. My two favorite colors.
Are horror movies scarier in the daytime or the nighttime?
Nighttime.
Like all the time, but nighttime.
All the time, but definitely nighttime.
Are fairy tales, lies or hopes?
Are you going to cry?
I'm very upset about this because as a child, I loved fairy tales.
But now looking back, I'm like, God, it's lies.
Aren't they lessons?
They're sort of like lies.
So you believe that they're a lie?
Well, they're it's not real life.
What's a fairy tale to you?
Let's let's base off on one.
Well, as a fairy tale Cinderella, fairy tale Cinderella.
If you're looking at it as underprivileged family member makes friends
with animals, animals, because she can't make friends with real people,
goes to ball, meets the dream man of her life and is saved.
Then yeah, that's a fairy tale.
Yeah.
And that's like a lie that things are that easy or have to be that dramatic.
However, if you look at Cinderella and you see it as being kind to even
the smallest of creatures and having that kindness spread to your karma
of good things happening to you in return.
I can't with you right now.
And how strong you are to get through hard situations and use courage and be kind.
She's doing with a straight face, guys, because this is legit.
Also, Cinderella is her favorite princess.
But you could have said any fairy tale would have said the same thing.
There's a lesson in all of it.
OK. The lie is, yeah, I'm going to go to one ball
and meet the most perfect human and life is perfect.
Well, that's what I thought.
We know, we know. OK. We know.
Does an apple a day really keep the doctor away?
Yes, it does. Actually, Pop Pop told us that.
Yes, so it's real. It's real.
Our grandpa told us that and he ate an apple or a fruit every day.
And he lived a very long life.
Yeah. This is a debate in our family
between my brother and my husband, who deserves to be called the real football,
American football or soccer.
I got nervous for a second.
There's so many things that we could debate about.
Yeah. But that is a big one because
interest soccer, football fan and Billy is a diehard Eagles.
And they're both football.
Football and football.
It's very similar to data and data.
Which ones? Which ones? The real football.
I mean, soccer actually plays ball with your foot.
Yeah, I would say that's the real football.
Thank God we got that figured out.
But I think we just got disowned, actually, as well by Billy.
But I also think Billy really likes soccer.
So I don't know.
I don't. Yeah, I would say football.
Soccer. Soccer football.
You think football is football? Good for you.
Does everyone have an accent?
Yes, everyone does.
Great. Correct.
OK. Great.
Like everybody.
I don't know where to go from there.
Oh, my God.
I thought you were going to fight me on that one.
I was so prepared.
Is a smoothie just glorified baby food?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it is.
Hot pizza or cold pizza?
Hot pizza in the moment of like mealtime, cold pizza breakfast.
Saturday mornings growing up. Yeah. Yeah.
Are boneless wings just chicken nuggets?
Yes, it's the campy that deep. It is.
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Yeah, yes.
Is cheesecake just a pie?
No. Why? Why?
Hold on. I said no, but I don't know how I feel.
Cheesecake is a pie or a cake?
What's the other option?
It's got the crust.
Cheese pie.
I don't. That doesn't go well.
Here's my cheese pie.
I brought a cheese pie to the party.
I brought a New York cheese pie.
Everyone asked me to leave.
Sounds about right.
Should students be allowed to have cell phones in school?
No, I agree.
However, there are issues today in school that we did not have growing up
that if Melody or Lewis or Dean needed me,
I would want them to have their phone on them so that they could contact me.
Well, in the classroom setting, it poses an issue in the before, after school pickup.
It's helpful. Right.
So, yeah, I don't know. I'm torn on this.
One, because I don't want them on TikTok while they're trying to learn,
but two, because if they need me, I want them to be able to contact me.
See, I'm not thinking social media.
I'm thinking mean girl texting.
Yeah. Group threads and talking about other people.
That's that's what I did.
But yeah, TikTok is bad as well.
I don't know. Maybe there's like a classroom cell phone.
Oh, yeah, let's get on that.
Like what every classroom has one cell phone for dangerous situations,
situations that calls out with all parents information of that year
and it gets cleaned out at the end of the year for the new class coming in.
Something like that. Yeah, it's a hard.
That's that is a big debate. It's a hard. It's a hard.
Should animals be kept in zoos?
No. No.
Big three.
Zoos are the devil.
But I like your song. Thank you.
I disagree on this because my daughter is the biggest animal loving
person there is and she would not be able to be exposed to 99% of those animals
if there weren't zoos.
Sanctuaries.
Yes. OK.
Or one of the ones like that.
I think the Elmswood one is that it's like conservatory.
Like, yeah. Yeah.
I know I made that word up.
But yeah, what I talked to Melody about,
and which I think is a great idea is she should have an animal rehab.
So like she takes animals in that are broken or hurt.
She rehabs them and then sets them back into the wild.
I think that would be a great thing.
Yes. Yes.
And this is many, many years on the line.
But but the zoos as a thing right now, I say, yes, the exposure is awesome.
But I think the rehab needs to be on how zoos are kept.
Right. Or why you even got the animal in the first place.
Like I'm against SeaWorld.
Oh, my God. For sure.
Don't even get me started.
We won't. But all right.
So we agree and disagree on that.
Should schools have longer summer breaks?
What would be when would they go to school?
Well, I think I am the unpopular opinion.
I do not want my kids to go back to school.
I am not ready. I want more time.
I mean, maybe not yesterday when I was at Target calling Andrew to say,
I may only be bringing two children home.
So if you want all three, come pick a little one up
because he might be staying here.
So yesterday wasn't a great day.
But normally we have better days and I want more time.
I'm like, not ready for them to go back to school and I
everything that the school year brings.
So I would like them to have a little bit longer of a break.
So it's really about you.
It's actually about children going to school.
I mean, isn't it always?
Is it better to watch movies at home or at the movie theater?
Things everybody wants to know.
So many good things in both camps.
Like there's nothing better that like
Indiana Jones on the big screen was amazing.
Yeah. That action and like Coco.
So good.
It was so good in theaters because of the color and the and just how big the screen is.
So for that reason, amazing.
But I I don't want to go anywhere.
I know. That's how I feel.
I would say I enjoy the experience of going to the movies,
especially now that there's dining in theaters.
Well, you can eat and drink there. I love that.
I like I like experiences.
I like doing the whole thing.
It's like go big or go home and then I'll go home.
Is it better to have a summer birthday or a winter birthday?
Winter agreed. I'm thinking children.
Yes. But that's that's when you love your birthday so much.
I mean, we love our birthdays, but as a kid, that's what you think of your birthday.
Yeah, you brought in, you know, if you were any other family,
you bring in homemade baked goods.
If you were us, you'd bring in Entomans and put it on a paper plate
and try to pass it off as homemade.
Is it better to have a staycation or a vacation abroad?
I love a good staycation, but I Italy's on my bucket list.
So. Oh, yeah.
My bucket list is overflowing. Yeah.
Should we be required to disclose our social media during job interviews?
Like, should you hand over your social media platforms and handles
so that jobs can see what you really like on the off time?
Mm hmm.
I feel like I'm totally out of my mind.
I'm torn because that would show like true colors,
but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be good at their job.
I don't know. I think that there is definitely like
there should be a clause in getting hired somewhere that like if we
if we see stuff that you're representing yourself that doesn't represent
where our company is, like we could terminate you.
Yeah, I don't know if it's like.
I want this job.
Look at who I am on the off hours.
Like, I don't know if that pairs well.
Should we prioritize mental health or physical health?
I know.
But it was a thinker.
But they're hand in hand.
Boo. Pick one.
That's why it's called a debate. No, they're hand in hand.
You can't have proper healthy mental health
and live in a body that is unhealthy and vice versa.
True. I agree.
So we're not going to end on that one.
We're going to end on this one.
Should we have a mandatory quiet hour every day?
Yeah.
Victoria is like, can we have a mandatory 24 hour quiet time?
Can our podcast be a mandatory silent?
I agree. I would love.
We used to have quiet time as kids when we were too old for naps.
Mom would send us to our room for quiet time.
What did you do?
I fell asleep.
Oh, my God, you're a cat.
We always said, Karlie, growing up, if she was like, you know, you do that.
What animal would you be?
She would be a cat.
All she did was sleep.
It was almost like a lethargic.
We should have looked into it more.
It wasn't a healthy type of thing.
Because if she wasn't at school, she was sleeping at home.
If she wasn't at dance, she was sleeping.
Weekends, I don't even think you got up before 12.
No, down the shore, I would go to bed at midnight, wake up at 11,
go to the beach and be back asleep by 12 on the beach.
Mm hmm.
Yeah.
So yeah, my quiet time was sleeping, but hey, at least I was quiet.
My mouth was shut.
We can agree there should be a mandatory quiet hour every day.
Yeah.
If only.
Victoria's dream world.
If only it could like we could all globally get together and make
something like that a thing and we would all abide by it.
Let's start.
Let's start it.
We officially start quiet hour from one to two every day.
From one o'clock to two o'clock.
And that's our data.
So that.
Well, that was the great debate.
And I think that was fun just to have some silly old fun and think
about things that you'll never think about again.
I like the great debate.
I think we need to do them as like a series.
Let us know.
We'll put it out on the story.
Let us know your thoughts on some of them.
If you also think a hot dog is a taco.
Yeah, let us know.
I actually really want to know what people think about
kids having cell phones in school.
I know that's more on the deeper side, but it's not a hot dog taco.
But I I love to hear about what you guys think.
OK.
Sometimes.
Great.
Sounds awesome.
For your real tip of today's podcast, episode episode podcast.
It is also your extra tip.
So they are one in the same for today and Carly is going to talk us through
because Victoria let me be in charge today.
The real extra and real tip is called my place or yours.
What does my place or yours mean?
Why are you looking at me while you say it?
It's fun.
It means grab a friend and have a friendly debate face to face.
Get a coffee, grab a bottle of wine and the willingness to see
someone else's point of view and tell them how wrong they really are.
Oh my gosh.
It's fun.
It's friendly.
It's human interaction.
Grab a friend.
Talk about all the silly stuff and just have fun.
And that is your real tip and your real extra tip.
But it is more fun to do this kind of stuff, not through text.
Texting is great.
But grab a friend and get together and just friendly debate.
This was a friendly debate.
Well, that was that would be my kind.
Carly's is a little more aggressive.
So if you feel like the hot dog is a taco.
Then you are definitely fit to be real.
And you are always allowed to be a little extra.
Data.
Oh, my God.
My God.
