Hey everyone, welcome back to Let Her Speak Podcast.
Welcome to Infinite Topics. Welcome back. Welcome
back to the main mic. I'm your host, Harper,
and I'm here with Mackenzie. I just hit the mic
with my pencil. I'm so sorry if it picked it
up. So last week I was out. I was sick. I don't
know if they explained that to you. I still feel
like I feel fine. I just have congestion and
probably don't sound the best. And I will be
sniffling a lot. But. I missed out on family
portraits. Well, that was. Yeah. So. The messenger
like. Staff. Staff, yeah. Staff. We all took,
like, all. There was, like, what, seven of us?
Yeah. We took a trip to the Nelson -Atkins. We
had a little, like, field trip kind of day. And
then afterwards, we went to the Kansas Public
Library. And then we just, like. We were like
group bonding because a lot of us don't really
talk to like other people in other like departments
in the messenger. So he was like, okay, get to
know each other. Let's all draw yourself and
like the things that like matter to you. I'm
saying like a lot. That's okay. Oh, wow. I'm
a girl in middle school now. What can I say?
Join the club. So Harper got jealous and now
she's drawing her own because we were hanging
them up on the wall in our. media room yeah that's
harper's gonna be drawing that for until she's
done it'd be more entertaining if this was video
which will be coming out soon we're getting there
i know i say this every episode but we're getting
closer and closer to the video anyways they were
complaining that i have a whole pack of what
64 crowns and they only got to use three So I
said, well, roll the tape and I'm going to have
it on here that you guys get to pick the three
crowns that I use. Yeah. However, I did cheat.
You cheated? Oh, you used more crayons, huh?
I did because Mike was right behind me with the
crayons. So I just grabbed like, I only had like
three extra colors. So I had like six. You didn't
cheat like Vaughn. No, Vaughn cheated cheated.
How did Vaughn cheat cheat? Vaughn, first of
all, was doing what you're doing right now and
sketching out. Yeah, we weren't allowed to do
that. Multiple colors. Vaughn, yeah, Vaughn.
Vaughn's a talented artist, but Vaughn cheated.
So, yeah. Let's do the colors right now, then,
before we get into news. Okay. Just so she has
her colors. What color do you want to pick, Zach?
You pick one since you have the box, and then
hand me the box. On the... Whoa, you go. I was
going to say, I need to mention, this is the
worst... Like, eraser? Eraser ever. On a bright
note, or a different note. Yeah, it's bright.
It's all bright. Everything's bright. I'm choosing
marvelous. Oh, God. Mauve? Yeah. That's a cute
color. Okay. I don't know when we mentioned it,
but we mentioned that we're going to get furniture
for our pod lab. And me and Mackenzie went the
day that Harper was sick. Or no, you weren't
sick. She had to go to work. So we just went
and kind of browsed to look at ideas. And now
we're actually doing that today. We're going
to go buy furniture. I still want a rug. A rug
would be interesting. If we get a cheap one.
Like a cute one. I need to pick a color. You
guys can each probably pick two, right? Yeah,
do you want to pick two? Sure. I wish I would
have picked mauve on Friday. That would have
been nice. Here, I got my two. I'm going to give
you... Wow, what a name for a color. I'm going
to give you robin's egg blue. Oh my gosh! And
then I'm also going to give you blue violet.
I got two blues and a blue. This is not blue.
This is literally purple, but it's blue violet.
But if you draw with it, it'll turn like a bluish
color. I don't know. We have a ring light now,
which you'll not see when we switch to video,
but we'll have better lighting in here. I held
it up to the light. Thank you. I'll be using
that as my hair color. If you can't tell, we're
having a pretty relaxed episode. Yeah, there's
not much going on on campus. There was a bake
sale today. Yeah, we talked about that last week.
It was so good. I know, but the bake sale was
today, and there was also... You didn't get to
go, Harper. Huh? You didn't get to go. No, I
didn't get to go. I was in class. My class got
out at 2 a .m. Loser. Whatever. Gosh. I mean,
you got sushi, though. Sushi bowl. I did. I did
get sushi, which I thought. She put hot cheetos
on top. It looked so good. It did look good.
I got the idea because Johnson County has this,
like, sushi special. And the sushi special had
hot cheetos on it. So. No, yeah, I've seen that
one. I was half tempted to get it one time, and
then I didn't. I hadn't seen it. I think it's
because they sell out really fast. I told you
they sell out of the sushi quick. I saw somebody's
sushi sitting outside unattended. Did you take
it? I would have ate it. That's such a waste.
I didn't want to take it. I don't like eating
after people. Fair. At least four pieces of sushi
were gone from it, but I'm like, why is it just
sitting there? Only four were gone? Yes! Out
of what, like 10? Eight. So that's still half.
Yeah. That's crazy. I was like, it's just sitting
there, just sitting outside. It's just sitting
there. That's such a waste. Unattended. They
could have been maybe going to the bathroom or
something. But leaving your sushi sitting outside?
Would you rather take your food into a Johnson
County bathroom? Yeah. I would close it. I would
put the top on it. I've had, for a bag of chips
in my water, I've asked people, hey, I'm going
to go to use the restroom real quick. Random
people in the hallway. Can I sit my water and
snacks next to you while I go pee? And then they
take them and they're gone. That's not happened
to me yet. I have a few things. Repeating things
that happen every week. Dropping yoga on the
22nd from 4 .15 p .m. to 5 .15 p .m. Just stopping
for some yoga. D &D club also on Monday. the
22nd, from 5 .15 to 7 p .m. A little behind the
scenes. By the time this comes out, I don't know
if my... I'm going to have an article on the
Messenger about D &D. Nice. That'll be nice.
It will probably be out by the time this comes
out, I would think, because it's the end of the
week. It took a while for mine. Then it might
not be out this week. I know Baptiste was like,
I want this. I don't know. Keep in lookout for
that if you like D &D. What did you have, Mackenzie?
We went over a few things. Off -campus stuff,
I have the Fall Festival happening in Overland
Park. It's going to be on September 26th. It's
going to be in downtown Overland Park from 4
to 8 p .m. on Friday and 8 a .m. to 5 p .m. on
Saturday. So it's the 26th and the 27th, and
it's free admission. Nice. Nice. Harper, do you
have anything while you're drawing? Off the top
of my head, I really liked talking. I want to
go see the Moors play, and I know you guys spoke
about that already, and I know it's... No, we
didn't. I don't think we did. We should have.
I kind of forgot about it. I forgot. I had it
written down. Yeah. I don't remember the dates.
It's like still two show weeks though. What's
on Friday? The 19th. The 19th through the 21st.
Yeah. So the day this comes out. Yeah. 19th through
21st and then the next week and after the 26th
and the 28th. Yeah. Yeah. Free admission. In
the Black Box. Yeah. Vodka Black Box. Yeah. Tiny
Titor. Yeah. First come, first serve. Free. It's
free? Yeah. Every show here is free. Yeah. Let's
get away. We should go. Are you going to go?
Yeah. I might usher. Okay. Yeah. Because if I
usher, then I get a guaranteed watch. Because
last show I wanted to watch, I couldn't get in
because it was packed full. It was packed. Literally
within five minutes. How big is the theater?
Depending on how big the set is, you can only
fit like 50 chairs in there at most. So, I'll
stand. It really is first come, first serve.
Okay, so you know how you were giving me instructions.
Where do you walk in to go see the play? The
long hallway. That long hallway? Yes, and then
literally that black door to the black box. They'll
have stuff set up at that point, and they'll
have ushers out there. Okay. Because most people
come in through the glass doors from the MTC
parking lot. Right. So, just right there. Okay.
Ouch. Ouch? What? I was scratching my face. Yeah.
Theater. What time is it at? It's a bunch of
things. 7 .30. Okay. 7 .30. The dental hygiene.
Did you say that already? No, I did not. So the
dental hygiene services are still going on the
23rd. Yeah. $10. Yeah. Very cheap. Go get your
teeth cleaned. Go get a cleaning. Dude, actually,
funny story. Literally Monday. I had a dentist
appointment. Mm -hmm. Forgot completely. It was
at 11. Woke up at 11 .04. Oh, no. I called them.
I'm like, I'm so sorry. I'll be there in, like,
10 minutes. And then I was, and I still got everything
done. That's good. You just going for, like,
a regular cleaning? Yeah, it was just a cleaning.
Yeah, see, for me, it's not a cleaning. I gotta
go get, like, a deep clean and, like, yeah. Because,
you know, I had surgery. Well, like, what's deep
clean? What's the difference? plaque i couldn't
even tell you plaque removal is just like i think
i feel like that's right because like they they
remove plaque off of mine they floss they put
on like the special like whitening and then maybe
not whitening but like the cleanser like because
they're like what flavor do you want like cherry
i have never gotten that cherry's a new one since
i have um gum disease yeah i had surgery and
then there was like a um a deeper cleaning that
i had to get i don't remember what it's called
though okay so i feel like they might have to
give me that deeper cleaning again just because
it's been a while since i've been back for cleaning
yeah just like it's been a while since you went
to the eye doctor yes it's been about five years
but Hey, you know, we all fall behind on things
sometimes. No, not in five years. It's just glasses.
I can still see. Very true. You're legally blind.
Yeah. Like me. And I'm not. I don't know if I
actually am legally blind, but I can't see crap
when I don't have these on. When I don't have
them on, I can't really see very far. Maybe you
should probably go get your business. I will
go again. I plan on doing everything I need to
do before I move. Hold on, I see Harper's phone,
and she has a picture of herself, and she's zoomed
in on herself really far. It's really funny.
Are you an artist? She needs a reference image.
I will show you guys after. I'm also using this
because I can't draw my right eye. Specifically
your right eye? Yes, but it's because it's the
left side of my face when I'm drawing. So it's
weird. I'm trying to mimic stuff. So I'm using
this as a light. So you're tryharding. No. You
have a reference image pulled up of yourself.
I told you, I haven't done a self -portrait in
a while. You think any of us did when we did
ours? No, Vaughn's just a try -hard. It looked
really good, though. Yeah. Come by the Student
Media Center. You can see that mine only took
10 minutes. Yeah, which it's totally not been
at least 20 by now. Mine looks like an alien.
Mine looks like me. Yours looks like Psyche K.
No. Just because I have pink hair doesn't mean
anything. I was given restraints and I followed
my restraints. And you made it look like Psyche
K. No, I made it look like me. Yes, you as Psyche
K. I guess I'm Psyche K. Cool. I have psychic
powers. That's my favorite show. Favorite comedy.
I haven't watched it. Wow. I'm disappointed.
But the... Voice actor for Psyche K is one of
my favorite voice actors. Kyo. Yeah. I don't
know his actual name, but. I think it's Jerry
Jewell, which is why I know it, because that's
my last name. Because that's your last name.
Okay. Yeah. Ooh. One of my favorite voice actors,
I can't remember his name right now, but he's
going to be at Nebraska on. Nebraska on. Yes.
Nebraska furniture market convention. That's
just. A daily occurrence. But he voices Sting,
Euclid from Fairytale, and that is my husbando.
I literally do not know any character from Fairytale.
That's totally fine. Except for... Natu? Lucy?
Nope. Levy? Godchill? Happy? Never mind. I guess
I don't know any character from Fairytale. You
know, when I drove down to Dallas this past weekend...
I just sat there and watched a couple episodes.
How many times did you go to freaking Texas in
a month, dude? I go to Texas all the time. When
my car was totally okay to be on the road, I
was going about every month. It's true. Your
car likes to die on you. You know what happened
while I was in Dallas this time? Oh, gosh. Did
you mention it at the thing or no? No, because
I hadn't been down there yet. Oh, yeah, because
you did it literally this week. I left that day.
We took my sister's car, not mine. Okay. And
then you broke it even though it wasn't your
car? Right. Really? We went to Bucky's, and I
was about to pull off, and I turned on the car
and everything, and I put the car in drive, and
I was pulling forward. The steering wheel locked
up while I was driving, and I couldn't turn the
wheel. And so I stopped. I put the car in park,
and my sister's like, okay, go ahead and reverse
back to the pump because we were still in the
gas station. She's like, just reverse back to
the pump. I'm like, okay. The brake locked up.
You just brake every car that you're in? You
have such bad karma. Exactly. You have like a
curse or something. I don't know. She's never
driving my car. Maybe we should all drive separately
to Dollar General. She's not going to make it.
Oh my gosh. No, my car is fine when it's in Kansas.
It's just in Dallas that it happens. It's just
whenever you reach the border, it's like, okay,
I'm going to die now. And like. I don't know
if I told you, Harper, but my brake pad fell
off of my car. Oh, my gosh. Dude, maybe there's
a humidity difference that makes the glue for
your brake pads. I don't know. I don't think
your brake pad is glued in. It's not a normal
thing. That is not a normal thing that happens.
That is a rare occurrence. Does metal not swell
up or whatever for heat? It does, but it's probably
soldered. I would assume it would be soldered
on or screwed on. It fell off because it was
rusted. I mean, that makes sense, but that kind
of sucks. It just kind of broke. I think you
might need a new car. I've had my car for five
years. Should we start a GoFundMe for Mackenzie's
new car? Yes. I need new tires, actually. No,
you're not getting new tires. You should be getting
a new car. A new car. I love my car. You win
a new car. We'll get the same exact model in
here. No. No. No. It's not the same. No, don't
get the same one. Actually, get me. Dude, you're
so greedy. We're getting you a new car. I'll
still take a Honda Accord, of course. You still
want a Honda Accord. You just want a newer one.
I want those gray colored ones with those nice
rims. I need one of those. If we get enough money
on this GoFundMe, I guess you'll get what you
want. All right. And I want four doors. I don't
want a two -door coupe anymore. You only have
a two -door car. Yeah. I need a dash cam before
I move to Texas. You need a dash cam now if you're
going to keep blowing up your car. No! Because
then everybody will know it's my fault. Yeah,
because the brake thing falling off was completely
your fault. No, that is not my fault. Exactly.
It just came off. That is the scariest, most
traumatic thing that can ever happen to somebody.
Like, in a car. Like, maybe not. But it was very
scary. So how did you survive? So I was driving
out of Quick Trip in a place called Corsicana,
Texas. I thought we were at Bucky's. No, this
is a different one. No, this is when her brake
fell off. No. I was driving out of Quick Trip
from Corsicana, Texas, like an hour from. Because
everything happens in Texas. Right. It was like
an hour from Dallas. I was behind this truck
and he was about to turn right. And so I'm waiting
for my turn to turn right. And I'm like stopping
behind him. And then I hear a pop and then my
brake loosens. And so I'm pressing on the brake
pedal and it's loose and I can't stop. So I had
to turn into the curb. And luckily I didn't hit
any cars. So I had to back up very slowly. And
there was a lot of cars behind me, and they were
all honking at me. So you guys are all losers.
Not your fault. Exactly. I turned on my hazards,
too. Like, you see the hazards. Go around me
or something. I'm trying to get out of here.
But, yeah, the brake pad fell off, so I backed
up, and I parked in the Quick Trip parking lot.
I could see my brake pad sitting on the ground
where I was. And my brother went and picked it
up and it was like hot. I'm like, geez. And I'm
like, is that my brake pad? Well, at least you
knew what it was. I don't know how I knew what
it was. You just guessed. I guess I just guessed.
This is genuinely a curse, by the way. Like every
time you've been to Texas. Not every time. Not
every time. Every recent time you've gone to
Texas, you've come back with a story about how
your car has died in some way or another. You
have at least five stories at this point that
you've shared with us. Yeah, let's see. The car
locking up, the brake pad falling off. The blowing
up car. The blowing up, yeah. Girl. And I'm still
moving there. Yeah, you're willingly moving to
the place where you're cursed. Maybe you were
a witch in your past life. Oh, maybe not. Maybe
not. Like a car witch? A car witch. Well, it
would just make sense if she was cursed, because
what else would she be cursed with right now?
Why am I cursed, though? It's just like, because
your car keeps trying to kill you in Texas. No,
I mean, but why? Specifically Texas. Right. What's
wrong with Texas? Maybe in your past life, you
lived in Texas, and you were a really bad criminal
or something. Criminal? I don't think people
curse criminals. Yeah, what? Why would you not
curse a criminal? They deserve it. A lot of people
curse criminals, I'm sure. But I'm not a... Okay,
you're saying in a past life. Yeah. So it traveled
over to my current life? Well, you died in your
past life. obviously, so you didn't have time.
Sorry to break the news, you died in your past
life. So you didn't have the time to actually
live out the curse. You have another 10 centuries
to go. 10 centuries. Wow, that's a long curse.
I mean, I won't be there long. Hopefully everything
will be okay. Just don't drive. You know, I wish.
Ruin everybody else's cars and not yours. Maybe
I'll just Uber. Every Uber. You're going to leave
the car and something's going to fall off as
soon as you leave. I feel bad. I don't want to
break people's cars. I don't think you have a
say anymore. I don't know what the issue is.
You just have to live with this now. You know
what? Before I move. I'm going to make sure everything
on my car is in working order, in perfect, pristine
condition. And then five days later, you're going
to text the group chat and go, hey, guys, my
tires fell off while I was driving. Yeah. Dang.
Well, it's going to suck to be you when you move
to Texas, but hopefully that just means you come
back and hang out with us. That's why I said
the next time I drive to Dallas. will be the
last time I drive to Dallas because I am not
coming back. Is it only when you drive to Dallas
or is it when you are, like, driving in Dallas?
It's on my way back. It's always on my way back.
So there's a curse when you're trying to leave
Texas. It's like, no, stay. Yeah, yeah. Car fire,
I was on the way to the airport. So maybe it
just wants you to stay. Yeah. Maybe you're not
cursed. Maybe you're, like, beloved. By, like,
the Texas deities or something. I don't know.
I don't know. I mean, I've always. Texas deities.
I've never had trouble driving in Texas. Like,
it's fine. I don't believe that, actually. No,
I mean, like, I haven't. Because, you know, everyone
down there drives kind of crazy. And there's
a lot of accidents. No, but in Texas, it's way
different. So, it's like. I'm able to maneuver
around all of that successfully, and I don't
end up in crashes, knock on wood. But when I'm
not moving, I somehow end up in a car fire or
a brake pad falling off or the car locking up.
I don't know. Maybe we'll figure out the root
of your problem. Hopefully in time for your move.
Yeah. How's your drawing? It's good. I finally
finished my eye. I messed up my lips. Here's
the thing. You're still working on yourself,
right? You realize the exercise was to also draw
things about your life. That was the main part.
Things that interest you. I'm the only thing
that matters in my life. Literally is the only
thing that matters in my life. I can't wait till
we have video. I know. We're going to have so
many fun videos. I'm ready to do Halloween. I
know. I want pumpkins. Don't jinx us. Right.
Because you won't even be here next semester.
That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
I've actually talked to a couple people about
the podcast, though. And being a host. Yeah.
Taking over for me? Geez. And you. Well, not
if she stays another semester. Right. Oh, my
gosh. Just finding my replacement is what you've
been doing? No. No. A -hole. Specifically. If
anything, I would end up being the host later
on if you left. That sounds like a threat. No,
I'm just kidding. Are you? I'd be sad when you
leave. We'll mourn. We'll have like a Rip Harper
episode. You guys need to have a gravestone with
my head on it. You should do that in general
when we both leave. Yeah, that'd be cool. Well,
if you stay for another semester, then I don't
have to. I don't want to stay. But you're mass
media and society class. I know. I can either
take it here or I can take it. At UTA. We should
get, like, the fake, like, foam, like, gravestones
that you put in, like, your front yard. I can
make some, honestly, out of, like, EVA foam.
We'll put, like, the, it's like rip the messenger
staff 2024 to 2025 or something, or 2026. Yeah.
Yeah. Maybe. I guess I probably will. As you
know, it'd be 2025 to 2025 for Harper and you
if you leave. Because you didn't start until
2020. That's true. It didn't even last a year,
my guy. It didn't last a year. See, now that
makes me want to come back so I can get a year.
Exactly. You need to have at least 2025 to 2026.
Yeah. Mine's going to say that. No, mine will
say 2024 to 2026. Well, I was also 2024 because
I got hired in the fall. I wasn't 2024. Technically.
Were you? The first episode didn't come out until
February. I know, but I was still hired in October.
You were? That was that door. Was it that door?
Yeah. Yeah, we talked about this last time. Is
anybody behind me? For some reason, being in
this room, only Mackenzie knows where each door
is for some reason, but every door sounds like
it comes. See, but that's cheating. How? Because
you're using your resources, and that's cheating.
Harper can see it, too. I did see her, but I
didn't realize that door was going to be so loud.
Yeah. Jeez. She's disrupting our podcast. How
could she? What an episode. Literally. We need
more news. We do. We need more things to happen
around Johnson County for us to report on. You
want to talk about the glow golf at Craft Putt?
Dude, actually, that sounds so fun. It does.
We should go to one of these events one day.
We've all never hung out all together outside
of this still. Guess what? Baptiste moved into
the apartment right next door to mine. Really?
That's funny. I don't know which one's his, but
he... You'll find out, I guess. Right? I will...
You'll hear really loud Hallmark intros one night.
You're just like, ah, he's in room 205. Did you
see his car? It looks fine. I haven't seen his
car, but dude, he also has bad luck when it comes
to car cars. I know. It looks fine, but. A car
accident? Yeah, he had a car accident on the
way to the Nelson Atkins. What? Yeah, a little,
what is it called? A bender fender? Fender bender?
Bender bender. His car is fine. The trunk looks
fine. It's just a little dented, but his brake
light is out. Damn. I told him I would help him
because I know how to fix a brake light, thankfully.
You know how to fix anything else on your car?
No. I can change a tire. Ah. Yeah. So if your
tire falls out, you'll be okay. I can also change
my oil. I choose not to, though. It's probably
dirty. I can fill the air up in my tires, too.
Well, that's easy. I think that's it. I watched
my dad change my brakes after they broke off.
I've attempted to change my own headlights, plural.
But, however, my model of car has one of, like,
it's coming from my stepdad who does this a lot.
Like, he's a car guy. Like, it is terrible how
they designed it. Because you have to, like,
reach behind so many things just to, like, unclip
the light, and it, like, sucks to put it in there.
It's the same on my car, too. My dad changed
my headlight because I wasn't about to get under
my car like that. No, we don't even, you can't
even go under my car, I don't think. You have
to, like, do it from the, you have to pop the
hood. No, I had, we had to go under the car and
get it from the side. Yeah. I was like, no, you
know, I'm kind of a. A girly girl. I don't want
to work on my car. I'm a lady. Have you even
gotten to the crowns? No. Honestly, I've just
been distracted. I totally could move to crowns
right now. The episode's going to be done and
you're not going to be done yet. Unless we take
a pause and finish it. I mean, we still need
to figure out what to talk about. Not really.
I want to do the craft putt stuff. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. On the 19th, there's the Glow Golf at Craft
Putt. That's going to be $12 a person. And it's
happening at 8 p .m. It says the lights go out
at 8 p .m. and will remain off until 11 .30.
Yeah, and it's $12. Then there's also Bingo and
Benefit at Craft Putt, which is on September
21st. I didn't mean to press the whole thing
at all. Bingo is great. I think bingo being associated
with old people is just wrong. It's crazy. I
love bingo. I think bingo is an all -age activity.
I think literally anybody can play bingo because
all you're doing is listening to numbers. I've
won a couple things playing bingo. Really? In
high school? Yeah, in high school or middle school,
I remember. Yeah. The bingo is... A donation
of $2 per bingo card. Oh, this is a weekly thing.
It happens every Sunday. Hey, guys, you want
to go bingo -ing? Right? I'd love to go bingo
-ing. What do we win? What can we win? Prizes
will be awarded to winners in each round. All
ages are welcome to participate. See? Seating
is first come, first serve. They don't have what
the prizes are. They're probably different literally
every time. Probably. It's probably gift cards,
if I had to guess, or like food. More than likely.
So a bingo card is $2. All proceeds generated
from these cards will be donated to a different
local nonprofit organization each week. Guys,
how come we haven't gone to this? We're just...
We're bad people. You can get a pack of eight
bingo cards for $15. So you save a dollar? Yeah.
That's crazy. Dude, a dollar can go a long way.
That's true. It buys me four gumballs out of
a gumball machine. I can get a box of Mike and
Ikes. Actually, no, because it's a little more
expensive. I can get those little tiny boxes
of Mike and Ikes from the dollar store. They're
like 25 cents. I can get multiple. I can get
four. I can get like a chocolate. I can get like
two Tootsies from Quick Trip. Okay, and there's...
What do you got against Tootsies? Like Tootsie
Rolls? Yeah. Okay. Dude, I recently bought the
Tootsie... Not the Tootsie Rolls. Like the suckers
that have the gum in the middle. Mm -hmm. Ugh,
the Tootsie Pop. Tootsie Pop. The Tootsie Pop.
Yeah, but no, Tootsie Pops are the... How many
licks does it take to get to the center? Oh,
no, no. Tootsie Pops are the ones that have...
The Blow Pops. Yeah. Oh. Wait, but Tootsie Pops
do have gum in the middle. No, Tootsie Pops have
Tootsies in the middle. Tootsies. I'm gonna swear
it was gum. No, that would be a blow pop. That's
a blow pop. Well, I mean, I know what a blow
pop is. Do the green apple blow pop? Oh, my God.
It's the best one. I like grape. With the watermelon
gum? I like grape. Shut up. That's a grape. It's
really good, too. You can take all my grape.
I hate grape. You hate grape? I like grape. I
like strawberry. Wait. Yeah. I asked Mackenzie
this. I asked her what her favorite artificial
flavor was. Blue raspberry. No. Well, it changed.
You said raspberry before. No, I said blue raspberry.
Uh -uh, you said raspberry. I said blue raspberry.
I swear you said just raspberry. No, I said blue
raspberry. I wouldn't have said raspberry because
I don't even, I'm not going to say I don't like
raspberry. That's crazy. You're switching up
on me. But I like blue raspberry or orange flavored
stuff. You're fibbing? No. Orange? Yeah. You're
one of like the one in a hundred people who like
orange. But it's good. No, it's not. Yes, it
is. Depends on what like it is. Orange Mike and
I. I don't even like Mike and I. I love Mike
and I. That's my favorite. Anyways, Harper, my
point was, what was your favorite artificial
flavor? I'm thinking, I mean, I really absolutely
love pink lemonade flavored things. The pink
lemonade Jolly Rancher sucker is my absolute
favorite candy in the entire world. It's so good.
It's actually why I have the Blow Pops, because
I have the giant box from Valentine's Day, the
Jolly Rancher Suckers. Mm -hmm. Ate everything
except the green apples. Oh, my gosh. I don't
like the green apples. You don't like the green
apples. Well, okay. But it's just specifically
the green apple Jolly Rancher Suckers I'm, like,
not the biggest fan of. But I ate all the other
suckers. I specifically got them for the pink
lemonade suckers. But if you ever have pink lemonade,
Airheads, pink lemonade. Gummies, pink lemonade,
sour gummies. So isn't pink lemonade just lemonade
but pink? No, it's like strawberry or raspberry
lemonade. I can't really remember. I don't remember
what it is. I think lemonade, I think this is
a thing that's, the company's saying blue raspberry
and raspberry are different when in reality they're
just the same thing but different color. And
it makes you feel like it tastes different. I
think lemonade and pink lemonade are the same
thing. One's just pink. I think. While I do agree
pink lemonade tastes better. I think it's just
because it looks better. It says pink lemonade
is a variation of traditional lemonade that's
colored pink with food dye. So I'm right. It
says it tastes similar to regular lemonade, but
with a subtle hint of the added ingredient. Pink.
Yeah. The ingredient pink. I guess you can put
like a flavor in there. Yeah. Some people use
grenadine or raspberry syrup or strawberries
and raspberries. I think raspberry would taste
better. Yeah, maybe. Raspberry and lemonade go
insanely hard together. But I don't know what
it is about pink lemonade. It's just good. It
don't taste like regular lemonade to me. It tastes
like pink lemonade. I was going to say pink lemonade.
I mean, I won't disagree with the fact that it
tastes better. It has, like, a cherry -ish flavor
to it. Yeah. Yeah. I'd say it's just the pink
flavor. It tastes sourer. Yes, but it has, like,
a fruitier flavor. Like, lemonade has the citrusy,
obviously, lemon, but pink lemonade has, like,
a fruity add -on to it. Yeah. Yeah, that's basically
what this is saying. So you just, like, fruit
juice. maybe pretty much i don't know i mean
i've never made pink lemonade besides that one
you know the can the little jug the country time
yeah yeah i've made strawberry lemonade before
like from scratch so you get like pretty fun
lemonade you get like lemons lemons squeezed
and then you put sugar and water and then you
put some strawberry so you're basically making
like a Like a strawberry puree. No, you're like
making like a strawberry puree. And then you
combine that with the lemonade. Yes. And some
water and some sugar. I can see that being good.
Yeah. No, I'm trying to think. Is there like
an actual drink that's basically called that?
Yeah, strawberry lemonade. Well. Yeah. I don't
know. We're at 44 minutes almost. Well, snack
ideas for when we get a table. It's true. We're
going to have snacks. We're going to get a snack
bowl. That way, if you haven't wanted to be a
guest yet until now, we're going to have snacks.
Yeah, so we're going to go. And get furniture
for the room. It's going to be fun. Hopefully
we find a good table. And a plant. I know. Like
something tall. And then we also. Last week we
got our. We have an LED board. Of like the messenger.
For the podcast. That will be hung up on the
wall. That you'll see when we hang it up. And
we're on video. Which we probably won't hang
it up. Or we probably won't start video until
it's hung up, but I would think it would be hung
up within the next week, probably. It'll be nice.
I just can't wait for October. I can't either.
I hate false fall. I know. It gives us so much
hope and then takes it all away. I'm just ready
to start dressing in my fall clothes because
I have all these brand new skirts. And I want
to wear them. Oh, my gosh. I can't wait for hoodie
season. Well, obviously, I'm wearing a hoodie
right now. A black one at that, too. So you're
probably hot when it's outside. It is hot out
there. Maybe a little bit. But I'm like, I'll
still get out. For the drip. Jeez, that's super
good. No, it's not. Hey, stop spoiling yourself.
I haven't seen any of it. It's going to be like
the worst thing ever. It's like the best thing
I've ever seen. Is it better than Vons? Yes.
Granted, she's had about 30 extra minutes that
Vons did. Vons is like cartoony. Well, she also
is using a reference image of herself. I would
use a mirror, but we don't have one. It looks
very realistic. Yeah, true, use your camera.
I feel like with this lighting, no. We have a
ring light, just move the ring light closer.
Also, I ruined it with putting yellow as my skin
color. Yeah, you were not given very good colors
for your color palette. I promise, it looked
better. Why don't you use the yellow for your
hair? I did also do that. Oh, okay, so you're
just really yellow. Use the red one as your skin.
Red as my skin? Like a light red. Bless you.
Thank you. Don't press it down, but put it over
the yellow. I did my cheeks and lips. Well, do
it over the yellow, because then you can layer
it, and that's how color theory works. I tried
to. That's what I'm saying. I tried. It didn't
work. It's okay, though. This makes me want to
play sim. Sim? No. You guys want to be Sims in
my game when I get it fixed? I do. You have to
update me literally everything I do. Okay. You
can be in the storyline if you want. Let's go.
I can have lore. Lore. Maybe that's what we'll
turn this podcast into. We'll give Sim updates.
Yeah. I got to hurry up and fix it. Maybe I can
get it fixed next month. Next month. Yeah. It's
like $60 to take it to Micro Center. I'm just
upset that I already took it and it was fixed
and then broke immediately when I got it back.
Anyways, guys, mark it like that. My portrait's
done. The only thing I really like about me is
my cats. That's the only interesting thing about
me. Let's see. Let me color them. Hold on. My
guy. Fine. No, we're fine. We'll be right back
when she colors the cats. We're not. I guess
we're looking. It looks good, though. From over
where I am, you look really scary. Thanks. A
little bit. But also, you just kind of look scary
in general. How rude. Anyways, it was ruined
when I tried adding crowns on top of it. It was
really detailed, and you can see my middle finger
of how much I've shaded. It's kind of just flipped
me off. Kind of rude. Right. Backwards flipping
off. That's just pointing with your middle finger.
Dang, I wish I had some nails. It was a cooler.
Bang, bang. He just killed me with a middle finger
gun. Wow. And you guys will never know because
we don't have video. Until we get video. Then
I'll have to blur it. Probably. I don't know.
Blur finger guns? Makes sense. We need bloopers
too. All right, well. Kind of outtakes. Yeah.
That, as you can tell, is pretty much all we
have for the main mic for this week. Yeah. It's
going to be an episode. You guys have a good
rest of your day. Hopefully this wasn't too boring.
And we'll hopefully see you next week. See us?
Maybe not next week. Oh, come on. Within the
next two weeks. Within the next two weeks because,
yeah. By October. Because we're working on the
cameras. We have our OBS set up. So we're getting
stuff done. Makes sense. It's harder because
we're only here like once a week, really, to
do this. Maybe we should come in one more day.
Probably. But it requires me coming in on a day
I'm off. Anyways, yeah, that's it. All right.
I don't know how long this episode will be, but
I'm going to do some work to what we talked about.
All right. Have a good day, guys. Bye. Why did
you have to say peace out? I don't even know.
Stop recording. We can redo it.
