Okay, I will do the intro. How about that? Because I wrote one. I wrote one too! Oh, did you? I bet it's the same. Let's say them at the same time. Ready? Okay, ready. One, two, three. Welcome to a special Cat Poop M.T. Odyssey recap episode. I really thought it was gonna be the same as the second there. I like yours better. You go. Special. Welcome to a special cat poop and puke Odyssey recap episode of delete this history a podcast by two besties of a certain age searching for answers. We're your hosts. Brea Brown. I'm Kara Birch. I hope everybody's not sick of bonus episodes. Oh, come on. Because they're not really bonus like bonus would be like in addition to regular episodes. They're they're more kind of like special episodes. Correct. Um, a very special delete this history. When Kara gets her period. And Prius says, just shove this thing up there and shut up. Oh my gosh. Because I'm super empathetic. So what is this special episode about? This kind of is a bonus episode. I was calling this South Carolina searches. Yeah, that's a good one. Even though as I was looking back through our searches, or my searches anyway, didn't have a lot of searches. I mean there were a lot but it was all like kind of the same thing like where I would just reword a search trying to find what I wanted. That's interesting. A lot of my searches I couldn't remember why I searched these. I was like what the hell were we talking about that made me search this? Most of them I remember but a couple of them I don't. Now I don't know that we're going to talk about the searches that you know. our extra searches. We kind of discussed that. I think you should list every search that you did and then we'll just talk about the ones we want to talk about. Oh my god, okay, so many. Let's just fly by the seat of our pants. It'll be great. What could possibly go? Your shirt's kind of making me dizzy. I'm sorry. I mean, it's not your fault. The stripes on my sleeves. Because as I like look away and look back, it's kind of like, what am I going to do about that? You want me to take my shirt off? Yeah. Can you just remove it? I do have a cami. I'm just joking. We could both. We could both sit in our camis. Listeners, it's so hot in this room. But the. The heat did turn off. I am in a tank top. I wore a tank top and a sweater because it's the first like cold day. It's cold. Yeah, it's 40 something out there. And I'm loving it. Our Green Bay listeners are like, F you. But it's so cold outside, of course. We've over-corrected, and our free studio, we have no control over the heat. Correct. And someone has cranked it. Yeah, they're like, hey, it needs to be 77 in there. It's like a greenhouse. And when the heat is on and blowing, the air coming out is like 100 degrees. It is. To heat it all up. And then we close the door, so we're really in a glass case of emotion right now. At least I am because I have to be the perfect temperature or I freak out. Yes, this is one thing I did learn about Kara during our week away. I have to be the perfect temperature. She has a very specific thermostat. I do. Internal thermostat. Yeah, I do. If I get too hot, the panic sets in. get very crabby when I get hot. But fortunately, that doesn't happen very often because I don't move very much. I wish it's something I could move beyond. It's something I need to seek therapy over, I think, maybe. So before we get into our searches, which I'm sure there will be a lot of overlap. I'm sure there will be too. Because we searched a lot of things together. We were together 24-7. Girl. 24-7. It was. Even when we were sleeping. Yeah. We slept in the same bed. Side by side. It was a king bed, thank goodness. That was fine. It worked out fine. I thought it was beautiful. Except for the kiddie superhighway. Yeah, it was beautiful arrangement. I think we should talk about the cats first since that's why we were there. Absolutely. I actually have the cats listed first on my rundown. Excellent. Me too. So Jasper and Boo. baby's. Jesper is the boy kitty and Boo is the girl kitty and they've told us this. They have revealed their genders to us. I think I have a scar from Boo. Yeah, yeah. Right there. Yep, she got you a couple times. She got me a couple times but it's okay. I had learned from my last trip there. Just Pet her once. The problem is, I can't help myself. If there's a cat there. You gotta touch it. Perpetual petting. Kitty on my foot and I wanna touch it. Oh. Just touch it. Oh, kick it. Are you sure? Yes. That's probably better. Yes. Less animal abuse. Good Lord, Kara in the 90s was all about kicking kitties. Kitty on my foot. Boo does not like to be petted very much. No. She likes it until she doesn't like it. Exactly. And you have to read her mind. Because she could be purring, and then she will just, ah. Do you think she has a little bit of arthritis? Oh, I'm sure. And her whole body is just like, oh, it feels good. It's kind of like when Sean gives me a foot rub, it's good for a little bit, and all of a sudden it hurts. I turn into boo. Yes, and you're like, ah. Stop. And you kick him. Shawnee on my foot, and I want to kick him. It's kind of like when we were walking on that sand to get back to the car. Yes. After we had been walking on the beach and it was rippled. Oh, that ripply hurt washboard sand. Yes. And it was like, Oh, I don't have that right now. So let's just knock on some fake wood. So sorry, back to the cats. Cats. They were delightful. Yes. Lots of entertainment. They were lovely and so sweet. And. They have the best cat parents ever because Heather and Mike, my sister, Heather and my brother-in-law, Mike, they have figured out what Jasper's problem was and why he was pooping outside the litter box fixed. And so they changed his food and they moved the litter box and he's, he's good to go. We didn't clean up. Well, Well, I watched Bria clean up one poop incident. Yes, we had a poop incident. Are we going to talk about that? I think it might be a little embarrassing for Boo. I know you're really worried about embarrassing Boo, but it's a funny story. It, my God, I'm picturing it in my head. So. Jesper did throw up once. Let's call him out on that. It was our first morning that we woke up after Heather and Mike had left. Yes, and we woke up and there was puke and I thought, here we go. It was a lot of puke too. It was a lot. I think he was just upset that Mike and Heather left. I think he just ate, binge ate, no, cause he didn't have any food to eat at the end of the night anyway. There's no telling, but. There's no way to know. So that's how it started. We woke up, we're like, oh boy. Here we go. There's puke. Yep, so we cleaned up puke the first morning. We're like, this is gonna be our life for the next few days. And that's fine. That's what we're here for. That's what we were there for. So anyway, got that taken care of. And then nothing from him the rest of the week. He did fine. Yeah, and I haven't heard from Heather like, hey, we found some gems that you guys didn't see. She's so nice. I don't know that she would tell us. She probably wouldn't, but we would have smelled it. You're right, we would have. Because her house is so clean and so tidy. And those cats were everywhere we were. So there were a couple of times that Jasper did go under the bed though. And I had to chase him out with the broomstick. But I don't think he was under there long enough. Anyway. So then poor boo. This story is hilarious. She had, she had an issue and she was in the bathroom in the litter box for a long time. We heard her in there scratching, scratching. Scratchy scratchy and then silence and scratchy scratchy. And then she finally, and I, you know, we even said like, boo, you okay in there girl? And she finally came out into the hallway and Kara could see her from her vantage point on the couch, but I could not. And Kara said, she's dragging her butt along like. The floor in the hallway. I don't know they've ever seen a cat do that before. Right, that's a dog thing. It's a dog thing. That's when their anal glands get all... But they have itchy wormy butt. Right, and so I was like, oh no, that's not good. And I'm already imagining I'm gonna have to call the vet. Brea went into overdrive. I'm like, oh no. So I went into the bathroom to investigate. And sure enough she'd had some kind of an... issue with detachment. She couldn't get it to detach. That's a great way to explain it. And so she had like scraped it on the side of the litter box. Her little butt. A little dirty. And then she wasn't clean enough. And so she just started just, and so there was a poopy trail from the litter box in the bathroom out down the hall. And at first I was trying to just spot clean it, you know, like I can, I can do this. Yeah. Handle this. Then I was like, Nope, this is going to take a full mop. I'm just, I'm not going to catch it all. And so we got it cleaned up and she was fine. There was toilet paper right there. What was she thinking? I know cats. What are you gonna do with them? So embarrassing. So, yeah. But that was it. That was it. That was all that happened. We were fully ready, fully prepared. Yeah, we had our hazmat suits. I mean, we were just good to go. We were ready for disaster. Not. That was it, which. Pretty sweet. Pretty amazing. Yeah. Those cats were so sweet. They are really sweet kitty cats. The pictures of Jasper on the stairs. Pretending to be a basket. Yes. Yeah, go check out our Instagram because we took lots of pictures and Yeah While we were there which was weeks ago by now, but good times. Yeah So they were good. They were good kitties. They were we had lots of fun with them Yeah, they really Jasper, you know boo didn't really want to sleep with us very much because she has it good Heather stays completely still and Boo sleeps in one position all night and I cannot do that. So Boo tried that with me the first night and it was a no go and she was just like, girl, you move too much. Like once. So, um, she didn't really sleep with us very much. No, but she stuck with you. If we were on the couch, she went and sat with you and curled up next to your leg. I'm warm and soft. Every time. Yep. Um, but Jasper, he liked to patrol the edges of the bed all night long. Kitty super highway. Kitty super highway all night. That's all. It was like, do do. And then he would go sit on the dresser and stare at us. like a creepster. It's such a creeper. I didn't know that was happening. Yeah, I would wake up and he'd just be staring at me from the dresser. Hi. Cats are so good at being creepers in the night. Oh my gosh. He also liked to unplug my Kindle in the middle of the night. He unplugged your Kindle? Yeah, he would unplug my Kindle. I would wake up in the morning and I know that I plugged it in because I plug it in every night. Saboteur. To recharge it and. I'd wake up in the morning and it was unplugged. That is weird. Every day. That sounds like my cat. I told you that Olive would remove my earplugs in the night. Yes. Which is gross. It's super weird. And creepy. I think she just wanted me to wake up. She's like, hey, you're not going to be able to hear me in the morning. Yeah. I need you to hear something. I need you to listen to me. Also Kara's a very... sound sleeper. Yeah. And she wears earplugs. Yeah. So and I did not know this. So in the morning, I would wake up early because I wake up early. And Jasper would immediately as soon as you start moving and acting like you're gonna wake up, he's like, he's got a very loud meow. And so I'd be like, shh, shh. Okay, shh, I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming. And I'd be as quick as I could to get out of the bedroom. and close the door so that he would stop yell meowing. And I was just so worried he was going to wake up Kara and she has no memory of any of this. Also, the cat's got into a fight on the bed one time. I slept through the whole thing. morning they totally got into a fight on the bed. I came downstairs and Brio's apologizing I was like, huh? Yeah she slept through the whole thing. Yeah I have trouble like in the beginning when I fall asleep initially I feel like I stay on the surface for several hours and I wake up but once I am in to sleep Forget about it. I'm out. Yeah. And I like to sleep in. Yes. She's a sleeper in her. I am not. So I would go downstairs, make the coffee. We are the best odd couple ever. It worked out. It worked out great. Are you ready? Do you want to just list the searches that you did? Yeah, if you want to. OK. You list yours, then I'll list mine. And we can laugh about how similar they are. OK. All right, so here we go. What is a jamoke? US Custom House, Charleston, South Carolina. Is spotted dick considered steamed pudding? Is an eggplant a gourd? Palace cat. Average temperature in South Carolina in October.

Oh yes, that was on the way home. Yeah, those last few are on the way home when we were discussing music. And when we were just out of things to talk about. How much overlap is there? Not very much. I didn't figure. And I had maybe a fourth of that many. I searched a lot of stuff. You do a lot of searching. Well, And we just we had so much time. Yeah. And I just relied on you to search. Yeah, I did. A lot of those searches were from conversations you and I were having. And I just was looking at so much stuff. Yeah. You were probably a lot of it in the car. That's true. On the way there. I could tell you exactly what's in the car and what's not in the car. But I'm not going to do that much of a breakdown because nobody cares. Right. Let's hear your. OK. Mine's mine's pretty short. Popstar's one name died recently. That was when I was trying to think of Avicii. Pops, oh, oh. When we were in the car with Mike and Heather, yeah. Okay, Vintage Market Days Charleston slash Charleston Area Convention Center slash Craft Fairs Charleston. Dash Trolley. Visitor's Center in Charleston. Richard Sherman College. Coastal Flood Advisory. International African American Museum, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, White Cat Meme, Lieutenant Dan. Echo to the whistle meaning. I pictured the cat. I'm sorry. I know you can't do it. Okay. I'm I got it. If you picture the cat you're done Jason Kelsey dog Jason Kelsey dog. Mm-hmm Remember we looked up what kind of dogs he had and he has a labradoodle. Yeah, because it's in the background Yeah. Yeah, Drew Brees teams NFL That's it. Holy cow. That's all I really had. I was a designated searcher for this trip You really were. Okay. I was like, Carol search it. Carol search it. I did. I searched it. So what were some of the favorite things that we did? Okay, so. We didn't do a lot. Can we just, can we just qualify this first? There is so much to do there. So much. And so many educational things to do. and so many deep, meaningful, historical things to see and do. It rained pretty much the whole time we were there. We had maybe a day and a half of no rain. Yeah, that's probably true. So, and it was kind of chilly. Oh, I thought it was really nice. Well, it was, it was, yeah, I mean, it was nice temperatures, but it was cool for there. Yeah, it was. That's true. not typical Charleston weather. And everybody kept saying that everywhere we went, I kept hearing people say that to the tourists, oh, it's too bad, we haven't had rain in forever. You know what, it worked out just fine for me. I like the rain, I like the cool, I had no problem with it. I would have liked more beach time. I agree, it would have been nice, because... that day that we went to the beach, it was so sunny and just so it felt so good. I would have enjoyed more. Like we went to the beach and we walked. I would have enjoyed more sitting and reading on the beach or doing other things on the beach, relaxing on the beach. Yeah, there was too much rain for that. So the day that we got to go to the beach, we really just had to do our exploring and walking and it rained. that afternoon. So we had a good window. I'm glad that we went that day because it ended up raining again after we got home. Like it started maybe an hour. And that wasn't in the forecast. No. Yeah. And that's why we had coastal flood advisories. That's, that was the search for the Amazon echo. Why is there a yellow flashing light every time there was a yellow flashing light? It was a coastal flood warning. Yeah. It was. Cause it had rained so much. Yeah, the Amazon was trying to tell us things. Beware. Yeah. But that was nice. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed the day. So Mike and Heather came back and they took Monday off work. So nice. And so we spent the whole day with them. And I really enjoyed that. What was cool about it, well, they're just nice people and they're interesting to talk to and they're funny. Yes. They live there. And so having people that live there and take you to awesome places and drive you around was really fun. And I just enjoyed that and all the walking. That was a beautiful day. It was warm. We got to walk so much and we went down to the waterfront. What they call that the waterfront Park Pier? I think it was Charleston Bay Pier I don't remember but that's where they got married and so we got to walk down there We got to see where they got married Get some pictures taken and they told us you know, we could see Fort Sumter from there. Right talked about that and We could see this white supremacist island out there idiots. I thought it was so cool that we got to see, we got to stand right where they got married and it was such a pretty spot and I just thought that was so special that we got to do that. And then we got to go to the pineapple fountain. Yes, that was so cool. Yeah and then they just took us on this walking tour of Charleston that was really cool like down some back streets. Of course we saw Rainbow Row. Yes. And all that. I love that we walked down there because. But all So that's one of my regrets is there are so many cool buildings down there. I mean, they're so cool and we didn't go inside any of them. No. And I would love to see like the US Customs House. I wish we had gone in there. Why didn't we go in there? I don't know. I don't either. I bet the inside of that, because the outside was incredible. I bet the inside was so neat. That was built before the Civil War. Correct. I searched the crap out of that building because yeah, I did. It was, I don't know. I just like historic buildings and things. And so when I realized that was built before the civil war, I was like, Oh my gosh, I'm doing a deep dive here. It was neat. It's a cool building. Yeah. Which we'd gone inside. Um, there were lots of places like that though. And there's like some haunted houses and like seriously haunted houses. And then of course there's the, um, the slave market. We didn't go to that. We didn't go to the African American Museum. Yeah. There are lots of things that we didn't do like educational wise. Um, that I would have liked to do, but here's another thing we found out about each other. I don't like being around people. And Kara doesn't like to spend money on things. Oh, I was going to say, I don't mind to spend money. But everything costs money to do. It did. And to get into. And so we had to be kind of judicious about what we spent the money on and what we didn't and blah, blah. Which is why we took the Dash trolley. It was free. My gosh. We'll talk about that in our Misadventures segment. We also hit a couple of microbreweries with Mike and Heather that were so awesome. Shawneke. Yes. Is that how you say it? Whiskey and cocktail bar. Holy crap, that place was freaking delicious. Low Tide Brewing. Awesome. I got a t-shirt there. They had some really great... beverages. Correct. Blind Tiger, was that the one? Blind Tiger, yeah. Oh, so I, the drink that I had there was by the Snafu Brewing Company, which is in Savannah, Georgia, I think. Is it? Yes. Cool. And so I looked it up last night, because it popped in my head. I was having a beverage last night, and I was like, that's Snafu. Oh, so good. And I forgot that you can't like just order alcohol online. I was like, Oh, I wonder if I could get some of that delivered to me. So I looked up their website and then I was like, Oh, Kara derp. You can't just order, but they've got all kinds of sours and I love sours. Me too. They're my faves. And I don't know what that sour was that we had at blind tiger. It, Oh, I can't remember the name of it, but it was a citrus. It was, it was probably the best sour I've ever had. ever. Yeah, it was citrusy but not too orange juicy. And it wasn't too sweet. It was just, well, you could, I could have drank a lot of those and been in trouble really fast. Yes. So I was like, oh, I better just drink one. Blind Tiger was cool. It was a very cool place, a great outdoor space. Oh, it was so good. And it was much needed by that point because we had walked a while. Mama can't walk. When I sat down on that bench, I didn't realize that my back was a little tight from all that walking. And we hadn't, I didn't know we were going to walk that much. And that's fine. I don't have any problem with it, but I did not prepare my shoes. I wore flip-flops. Yeah. And we did all that walking and, you know, flip-flops ain't for walking that much. So when I sat down on that bench and leaned back, my back was like, it. It freaked out because it was trying to relax, but it was so tight. Yeah. But then at the same time, it was so relieved that we were, I mean, it was like this, this range of things happening in my back. Like, oh, oh. my calves and you know, but Heather was wearing flip-flops too, but she's like a power walker. She walks every morning and she was just like, this is nothing, but me, flip-flops, corgi legs, I'm so wide. I mean, I just don't, I'm a very sedentary lifestyle. Me too, girl. It was, but you know what? It kind of jump started walking again for me because we That's good. That's good for you. I got home and Sean and I, we've started, we've started walking again. Oh, that's so good. So. I'm totally back to just sitting in my bed. Maybe the next time we go to Charleston, I can walk more and not be an old lady about it. I'll just walk as much as anybody wants me to walk and then I will feel like I'm gonna die. I will say that was one of my favorite days. We just- That was the best day. We had so much fun with them. I'm glad that we got to spend time with them and got to know them better. I really, I like you guys. Yeah, that was the best day. And by the way, on our drive back, I remembered, Brea was asleep and I was driving. I remembered that we left a bunch of dirty towels in their washer. No, I cleaned them. You did? Yeah. Oh, thank you. Thank you. I did that laundry. I had totally forgotten about it. I think. I don't know. I thought that we hadn't. Oh, maybe we didn't. So, Heather and Mike, if we left unwashed towels sitting in your washer, I'm really sorry. She's cool with it. I did not intend to do that. I meant to wash those and I think I just forgot. Listen, I'm a little sister and I've been a pain in her ass her whole life, so she's probably used to it. She was like, oh, this tracks. Well, sorry about that, guys, if that happened. Um, what else did we do? We went to the city market. Oh, the city market. Got a cute, a couple of Christmas presents there for people. Some we got hats. I've got ball caps there because it was very rainy that day. Like duh. Um, and we knew that, but didn't bring an umbrella. Didn't bring. Oh, an umbrella would have been impossible though. Can you imagine? Well, trying to wrangle an umbrella in all those people. Yeah, and we weren't really outside that much. No city market was pretty open air market, but it was covered. Yeah. Man, that thing is huge. It went on forever. Blocks. Yeah, blocks. Four blocks. I think it is. I think that that's probably pretty close. Pretty cool. Lots of, you know, artisans and You know, some stuff that's not like some mass produced stuff, trinkets and stuff like that, but jewelry and yeah, I got some souvenirs there. There was some really neat stuff. I mean, there was I didn't see anything that was like, oh, this is junk. Right. It was all I wonder if that whole thing is like a juried situation. Like you've got a. I don't know. Yeah. But it's open every day. It's not like just a weekend thing like. That is a legit everyday business thing. Mm-hmm. And it was busy, you guys. What day did we go? It was a weekday, wasn't it? Yeah, maybe Thursday. It was busy. These are my notes from- I think it was Thursday. Because, no, Thursday was the day we did nothing. We stayed in our pajamas. So Wednesday, that was our driving day. No, Tuesday was our driving day. Wednesday was a half driving day. Wednesday was half driving day. Then we went out to Shawneke with Heather and Mike that night. So then Thursday, the Chiefs game. Yes. That was the day we stayed home. That was our rest day recovering. Yes, we were recovering. And it was raining like a boss outside. Yeah, it was raining cats and dogs that day. So, so busy. So City Market was Friday. Yep. Yeah. Friday the 13th. You're right. It was Friday the 13th. So that's probably tracks that it was that busy. Yeah, yeah. And then we did not want to go on Saturday. We thought Saturday would be a bad idea. Yeah, we were like, no, yes. No people, no people on Saturday. How did we get to city market? Yeah. Um, well that I have liked to save that for a little bit later. You've got something planned. Yeah, I do. Okay. So then, um, we also tour, we went to the farmer's market the next day. We did go to the farm on Saturday. unexpectedly. We weren't planning to do this because we were like we don't want to go downtown on Saturday and then we ended up being downtown on Saturday. And we were we gonna go check out the Lutheran Church? Yes. We wanted to see Martin Luther. Yeah. He was gonna make an appearance. We were gonna go to St. Matthew's Lutheran Church Oktoberfest. They had an Oktoberfest going on. We were like this will be spectacular. As Lutherans do. Didn't realize that was downtown. You guys. Because we're so like smart. That thing was hopping. We came around the corner and I immediately said, nope. It was like, oompa, pa, oompa, pa. Yeah, there was an oompa band or polka band or whatever. People milling around everywhere. It was crazy. I can't even imagine how many people were in. So the church is on a corner, right on the street. So you've got a park and a parking garage. And there's a fence around the church. So everyone was inside this fence. the amount of people in there. Wow. Yeah, we both were like, Nope. Sorry. So we tried to spot Martin Luther from the street and we didn't see him. Yes, because there was, it was advertised that Martin Luther was going to be at this Oktoberfest. We were like, well, we've got to get a picture of us with Martin Luther. I mean, hello. We think he was in the beer garden. Yeah, pretty, pretty sure. was this farmer's market. Yeah, we see all these tents and canopies and stuff across the street. And Kara's like, that's where we need to go. Yeah. And I said, yeah, that looks more our speed. And it was free. See, I told you, you know what? I'm fine. I'll spend any kind of money you want. But I didn't know what was going to be. I mean, were we going to pay $15 to get in? to this Oktoberfest and then have to pay for beer and then have to pay, you know, it was going to be, end up being like 50 bucks, which probably went to the church. So in hindsight, we probably should have just gone in there. But I am cheap. There's no doubt about that. Listen, it kicks in. She kept us very responsible. Yeah, we didn't see much. Well, you know, sorry, there's always next time. So So we did that. And then we, when we were at home during rain times or whatever, we did some card and bag making. Yes. The kids loved it. The cats. The cats really loved. The cats loved that. They loved being on top of everything we were trying to do. All the crinkly paper. Yep. They finally gave Boo her own crinkly... package. Yes. To just chew on and rub on and sit on and she destroyed it. Yeah, she loves it. It was hilarious. And we watched a full season of Great British Baking Show, pretty much, minus two weeks. Two, minus two episodes. Because Cara wanted me to get caught up. Yeah. And I wanted to get caught up. So it was raining. Yeah, it was raining and so we just made cards and Brea made a bag, I think. I did make a bag. And so we watched. British baking show while we were crafting. Kara made a ton of cards. I made one bag and I'm like, I'm out. Yeah, I had a lot of cards to do. Birthdays and Boss's Day and things like that. And we watched a New Heights episode. Oh yeah, I enjoyed that. We watched the Chiefs game on Thursday night. What else did we watch, Brea? Some movies that we would normally not want. We watched South Pacific. So that Kara could get them. belly high out of her head and it was not what Kara was expecting. I still don't understand that movie. It's a weird movie. Um and we watched Cocaine Bear. What a mistake. There's a reason you, well, you had seen South Pacific in high school. Yes. So, but it wasn't like your choice. They were like, we're going to watch South Pacific. I feel like as an adult, you wouldn't have said, I need to watch South Pacific. And we both had been shunning cocaine bear. Right. So we watched two movies that we wouldn't normally watch. And it was a mistake. We should have just gone with our gut. I'm telling you, South Pacific is a fever dream that someone said, yeah, we should definitely make this movie. Yeah. Someone was on drugs. Yeah, they totally were. Cocaine Bear. And... else did we watch? We watched a movie that we both liked I thought like a rom-com. Yeah it was that love is in the air. Oh love is in the air that's right. That was interesting too. It was cute. It was cute. It wasn't like anything I'll ever watch again or say oh my god the best movie ever. Or that I can even remember what it was about. Did not have a single bad meal there. Oh my gosh, no. What was your favorite? I think mine was roadie rolls. That was way up there. It was so good. It's food truck food, but man, it was really good. Oh my gosh. They were delicious. And that brunch at the Smokey Yolk. Come on. That was amazing too. Oh, it's so good. That was the funniest. That was the funniest thing because we were looking for a specific breakfast place that what was it called Dills and Dills and Camp? No. Yeah. Dills and Camp Sundries. Cause Bria had been there the last time she was in Charleston. She's like, Oh, we got to go there for brunch. So we drove around looking for it. Couldn't find it. We were following the directions. We had the address. I'm like, this is where it was. This is it. And I had also, when I searched, um, breakfast places near me, I was like, Oh, there's an others a place called Smokey Oak. We could go there if the other one's busy or you know, whatever. And so we kept circling where Bri is like, this is where it's at. And I was like, yeah, this is the address. And it wasn't there, but the Smokey Oak was. Yeah. So they changed the name of it in the past year or made the name of the actual restaurant more prominent separate from the store. Like I think there's a little gift shop attached. Okay. I don't know. Um, Doesn't take much to confuse me. But it was delicious. It was really good. We had eggs, Benedict, stuff. I think my favorite though was the breakfast we had with Heather and Mike. I think that was my favorite meal, the big bad breakfast place. Gotcha. That place was good. I should have ordered what you ordered and I didn't and that was dumb. It was delicious. I had grits for the very first time. Me too. and I enjoyed them because I had them served a certain way. Right. It was all mixed in with my meal with tomato gravy, which I'd never had before, which was amazing. See, I really missed out. Yeah, and Carrie had hers just plain. Yes, I had grits on the side with an omelet, which the omelet was good, but. It was a mistake because I can get an omelet anywhere. That thing that you had and Mike ordered that. And then Heather ordered that cat head biscuit with the, oh, I should have. I looked at both of those things that you guys ordered. Those were the two things I'd narrowed down. Why did I not? I don't know. I just wasn't super hungry that morning. I guess. I don't know. Yeah. Kara doesn't eat a lot when she's on vacation. I really don't, but the grits. That was a no-go. Heather says that every place in the South makes their grits differently. And so I feel like I need to try them again. Oh, yeah. That one, the grits that I had on the side, they were peppered. Very, very black peppery. And I didn't hate them, but I didn't. It just wasn't what I was expecting. Yeah. So anyway. So. You know, grits. I had them. At least you can say you tried them. Yeah. Um, and I can't really think the Mexican place we ate out was really good. It was good. Casa Fiesta. Was that what it was called? Amazing. Um, lots of good recommendations from Heather and Mike, but yeah, everything was great. The, the pub that we went to, um, when we went to city market. Oh yeah. Mike's Max place, Max place and Max spot. Max pub is what it was called. It was really good. delicious great fried pickles. Oh yeah. Great sweet potato tater tots. Sweet potato tater tots and I had a French dip and. I had a Cuban. You had a Southern Cuban. A Southern Cuban and it was delicious. Yeah. Anyway, now onto the misadventures. Yeah, let's talk about that. Okay, quickly. Yeah, we need to wrap it. First of all, I wanna hear what your regrets were. Cause I have a feeling that kind of falls under the heading of misadventures. So one of them that I've already told you, we didn't go inside the US custom house and that we didn't go inside other buildings. Um, those are two of them that I listed. The other regret was that other humans saw me straining as I climbed in and out of that Jeep. Oh my gosh. Heather and Mike. Heather and Mike's Jeep, yeah. I am not a Jeep person. No. You have to be tall and thin. I am the opposite of both of those things. I am short and wide. At least you could get in it when it was parked in that parking spot. But hey, that's not fair because I had more room on that side. I was like, nope, you guys are going to have to back the Jeep out so that I can get into this mother. But I was not. It wasn't happening inside a parking garage. It was so tight. I couldn't believe how tight those spots were so tight. Listen. I learned something on that trip. I just I'm not a Jeep. I don't have a Jeep body. Yeah. And so, yeah, I'm sure Heather and Mike were like, what the hell? It's it's high. It's hard to live with corgi legs and a big old butt. I'm telling you, there's just certain things you can't do. I needed a stepladder to get into that thing. Well, I wasn't. And I basically just much better when we parked and we're getting out. I just had to fall out of that. Jump and hope that you don't fall. Hope you land on your feet so that you don't make a complete ass of yourself. I tried to be as graceful as possible. It just wasn't really working out. Honestly, those were the only regurts I had. Really? Yeah. You don't regurt going into that bathroom in West Memphis? Oh, Brea, I blocked that out. Thanks a lot. That was one of my favorite girls. I saved Bria from going into that bathroom. Yeah, she came right back out and said, we ain't going in there. Let's find a truck stop. So we did. It did go along with the poop and puke odyssey though. It sure did. It fit the theme. Yuck. I am not a great driver and I miss some turns. There was lots of missed turns. There was lots of Google rerouting. And Charleston is not a great place to go if you're not a great driver. People will let you know that you suck. They love the honk on the horn. I got a big long horn honk the first day we were there. But I was expecting it because I had gotten it before. Well and you committed. That was a left hand turn out of a business, near a signal, a busy intersection. A five lane road. You had to do it because... Yeah. That guy was pissed. You know what? I bet he doesn't even remember. Whatever. Google took us the back way into Charleston. Lordy. So we took Kakaw Highway. Kakaw! We saw Bull. Bull swamp. Bull swamp or Bull Road Swamp or something like that. Okay, now my favorite misadventure was. Oh my gosh. Friday. We're like, let's go to City Market. Don't care if it's rainy. It's covered, let's go. So we hop in the Wokemobile. And it wasn't raining at the time. No, it was nice. It was just, you know, overcast, but it was nice. We're like, hey, let's open up the sun roof on this bitch. Oh my gosh. Yes, I'd forgotten about that. So we get to the end of the parking area at Heather and Mike's condo. and we're stopping and I'm opening the sunroof at the same time we're stopping and all the rain from the past three days runs in through the sunroof onto us. So we got a nice rain shower. Like someone had a hose above us. And we were just like so stunned. We were like, ah, ah. Like no reaction at all except just to scream. We just had to let it, yeah. While this water. We just had to let it happen. Is draining on us. Oh my gosh, yes. I have forgotten it. That was smart. Couldn't find our car at the beach after we took our walk. Couldn't not find the parking area again. We even said as we were like walking on the beach, oh crap, we need to make sure that like what's a landmark? There are no landmarks that I mean, everything. It looks the same. Depth perception is just so off and such a wide open thing. So I couldn't tell. So we walked through a private Yeah, we finally just walked through someone's private driveway. Yeah, like their beach access. And we're just like, sorry. And so we went to the street. And then I knew where we were based on the street. And then we just walked on the street back to the car. We made it. We had a great encounter with a local at the Dollar General. Oh, my gosh. She wanted to let everybody, everybody know in the dollar general, but mostly the clerk that northerners should not come down there. Yankees. Should not come down there and try to change the South. How dare you don't come down here and try to change South. She and the dude, I guess. The clerk was a Yankee. He wasn't having it and he said Whatever some and some things you need to change and there's more Yankees down here than South Carolinians and blah And she said what I will I just cussed out a Yankee who was trying to change his south and he said Well, I'd cuss you right back And these two got into it Priya and I were just minding our own business. I didn't hear any of this. I was looking at makeup Um, yeah. Insane. Um, oh my gosh. Couldn't get the shower to work at the hotel. Oh my gosh. Last night. Yeah. Are we, I was like, okay, all I need is a shower. We had walked around Charleston all day. I was like, I just need a shower and then I can go to sleep and then we're going to go up at four and leave. We both worked on that shower and I was like, that thing is broken. I'm calling the front desk so that we don't get charged for this. So I called the front desk and she was like, oh yeah, we get like five calls a day about these showers. Listen, you just got to pull on the ball. Yeah, I was like pulling the ball. So I went in there and I told Brega, I said, she said just pull on the ball. Neither one of us can figure out what meanwhile I'm naked. I am naked in the bathroom. trying to pull on the ball, whatever that is. I'm like, there's no ball. I went back to the phone and I said, do you mean on the spigot or the like the faucet? I don't know what you're talking about. What ball are you talking about? She goes, nevermind, I'm just gonna come up there. I said, no, you don't have to come up here. I said, just we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. She said, no, I'm gonna come up there. I was like, you really don't have to come up here. So I'm race dressing. Yes. Again, I'm getting dressed. She's headed to our room. She gets there. She comes in the bathroom. She immediately pulls on the faucet, like the handle. Yes, the handle. Where you can control the temperature. That does not look like a ball. It's not a ball at all, not a ball. It was round. I said, why didn't you? And flat. I was thinking to myself. Round and flat with a stick. Tell us to pull on the handle straight out. Pull the stick straight out. Yes. I feel like such an idiot. Yeah, I felt like a real big moron. But. But her explanation was dumb. Her explanation was dumb. And if you're getting that many people asking about it, maybe put a little sign in the room. Yeah, put a sign in the bathroom. And learn how to describe it. Stop calling it a ball. Yeah, anyway. I'd forgotten about the shower. So I did get my shower, thank goodness. Kara's very thankful for that, I'm sure. She had to ride in a car with me for 15 hours the next day. And then the Android Auto on the way home was just glitching, and it kept at the worst times. We could be going like, OK, we've got 100-something miles till our next. interchange or our next move or whatever, it'd be fine. Stay on, perfect. Oh, are you driving into Atlanta in five minutes? Yeah. Boop, boop, boop. Yep, dead. Nothing. Very upsetting. That was a little frustrating. Oh, you kept making it work. But it limped, it limped along home. So we finally got to a place where we actually knew the rest of the way and didn't need it anymore and then it worked from there on. Of course it did. You didn't talk about the shuttle at all. Oh, oh, you're right. The shuttle. You kept making me wait and you didn't even bring it up. Tell them when we forget about the shuttle. Tell them what happened. It was a city market day. City market day. We're like, let's park at the visitor center. Yep. After we got wet from our sunroof shower. Let's park at the visitor center and we'll just take the shuttle to the city market so we don't have to drive. into the heart of downtown where all the pedestrians are and dealing with everything. Yes, so much traffic. And so, great plan, let's do that. So I looked up online and I saw online on their diagram, in their map, the purple line, 213 goes to City Market. Great. Committed to memory. Parked at the visitor center. Kara, thank God. Got a shuttle map. Trolley, it was called a trolley, the dash trolley. Gets a dash trolley map, and I'm like, I don't need that map, I already looked it up online. We need the 213 purple line. So we go out to where the shuttles or trollies pick people up, drop people off at the visitor center, and we wait, and there's a 211 trolley already there. 211 green. I think it was green. So I'm like, Nope, that's not the one we need to 13 purple. Purple, purple to 13. We wait, we wait. And we wait who more to 11s come up, let people off, let people on leave. Finally, a two 13 comes around the corner. We're like, Oh, thank God we get on. and we sit down, like I just sat down as soon as the first seat. Yeah. I'm like, let's go. Let's get this going. And those seats were sideways. They were sideways. So all the seats, like, toward the back are like a regular bus. Yeah. You're facing the front. You're facing front. These were sideways. Didn't think anything of it. I was just like, it's just easier to get through here this way. Yeah. When people are getting on and off the trolley. So we're riding and we're riding and we're riding. And I'm like, okay, like I don't have the best sense of direction, but I could tell we were going the wrong way. We were heading in the wrong direction, but all these lines, all of these routes, they go in a circle. Okay, so I'm like, okay, well, we're going the wrong way now, but then we'll come around and we'll eventually be turning the right way. So we keep going and we keep going. And this trolley driver. Oh my. hilarious woman, sweet as could be, but she was hit the gas, like floor the gas, pound on the brake. Yeah, and so, and we're sideways. And we're sitting sideways. So every time she accelerates or breaks, Kara and I are like. You know what it reminded me of? I thought of this later. Have you ever seen the birds? with tippy hedgerin? No. Oh, nevermind. There's a scene in that where she has lovebirds in a cage in her car. And she's like squalling around these corners and the birds are just doing this. Yeah, yeah. That's what it reminded me. That's what we were. Oh, I thought we were more like, you know, like a plastic rectangular container, like open container in your refrigerator where you can put eggs. Yeah. instead of keeping them in like the egg crate. Yeah. I felt like we were two eggs in a great big egg box. That we're just sliding. Crashing into each other. I think I seriously think that messed up my back. It was so much. Rawr. Yeah. So then you realize we should not be sitting in those seats. So then I'm looking and I'm like, oh shoot, I looked across at the seats across from us because a lady got on the trolley with a walker. She sat down and I'm looking, I look across and right there on the window it says priority seating for. It was handicapped and elderly for handicapped and elderly. Huge sign. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And of course we got on when we got on the bus, we're like, oh, this is something new. We, you know, just sit down, just sit, hurry. Yeah. Pretend like you know what you're doing. We were idiots in priority seating. Yeah. And so Brea's like, Oh my gosh. And you were getting dripped on. Yes. There was, there was some kind of condensation from the air conditioning unit. Yes. In the trolley that was dripping on me. So. You were like, at the next stop, we got to move. Yeah. We move. Before the next stop, however, that's when we realized Kara got out the map and she's looking and we realized we're on the wrong effing trolley. How long had we been on that trolley when we finally... Well long enough that the 211 trolley stops and the 213 trolley stops no longer overlapped. They were not overlapping. So we couldn't get off of the 213. Yeah, we had to stay. And be like, okay, we'll just get off at this stop and wait for the next 211. They didn't have any stops in common anymore. We probably were on that shuttle maybe 10... 20 minutes. Oh, I was going to say 10 or 15 minutes. Yeah. It was a while. So we figured that out. And I'm like, I'm so sorry online. It was clear as day. It said city market, two 13 purple, blah, blah. She's like, well, that's not your fault. You know? So we're like, oh my gosh, well, this won't be too bad. We'll just get off as soon as we can and whatever. So we, we switched seats. We get behind these two ladies who were hilarious and adorable. And they're like, Hey, um. I can't remember what started the conversation. I don't either. It may have been just you and me giggling about how we've discovered we're on the wrong shuttle. No, I think we were giggling about being in the wrong seats. We were in the wrong seats. We were explaining why we moved. Yeah, we moved. And they were kind of like looking at us like, why did these people move? Yes. And we're like, hey, we just realized we're in the wrong seats. And they were like, oh. And I said, because we can't read. because obviously we can't read because we're not even on the right trolley. Right. So they were laughing at us. Yes. About sitting in the wrong seats and being in the wrong trolley. And then Kara says... Yeah, and we've watched three other trolleys, the right ones, pass us while we waited for this wrong one. And the lady in front of us says, you guys are a mess. You know, and I'm like, Kara, stop talking. Those two are so funny. But they started giving us the scenic tour of Charleston. They had been there a while. Yes, and so they kept telling us, oh, up ahead, you're gonna see this. So we got kind of a tour. A little bit. of Charleston with these ladies on the wrong trolley. So, you know, everything works out. We saw a lot of things that we would not have seen on one of those horse-drawn carriages. Oh, correct. We saw some humanity. We saw lots of things that you do not see on the horse-drawn carriages. We saw lots of just off the beaten path. Oh yeah. Like not touristy. You're like, if you were a Charleston citizen. Uh-huh. These are places, you know, people live, people go, people shop, you know, it was not the tourist area. No, no, no. So some derelict buildings, we saw a lot of stuff. And anyway, 40 minutes later, 40 minutes, we got back to the visitor center. 40 minutes later. I'm like, okay, the two lines are going to start having stops in common now. Nope. We did not. We got all the way back to the visitor center. We were dying laughing. Got off the trolley. There was a 211 right in front of the 213 trolley. Just waiting. Just sitting there. Had just gotten there or whatever. We get off the 213 trolley, get on the 211 trolley. Five minutes later, we're at City Market. I was gonna say five minutes. We could have freaking walked there. We should have just walked there. We should have but it was raining. It was raining. You're right. I forgot. Yeah, yeah, you're right. It was raining. Oh my gosh. And I am made of sugar and I would have melted. Five minutes. It was hilarious. So we really enjoyed that. It was funny. I'm really glad that we didn't break up. I was a little bit worried that 24-7, because this is what happened to me in high school. I moved in with my best friends, and we don't speak anymore. Right. No, I think that we're similar enough or whatever, and just different enough that it worked, okay? Yeah, I think it was fine. I had a great time. Yeah, I did too. Thank you for taking me. I appreciate the invite. Thanks for coming with me. And thanks for everybody for interacting with us on social media while we were there, because that was fun too. That was fun. I enjoyed that.
