1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
I'm Drea.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,000
I'm Meg.

3
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,000
I'm Tina.

4
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,000
And I'm Jess.

5
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:13,280
And this is Pardon My Stash.

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,760
Welcome to Pardon My Stash, a podcast about knitting, the fiber arts, and how awesome

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,760
it is.

8
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:18,760
Woo!

9
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,760
And before we dive in today, let's talk about what we are working on.

10
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,760
Jess.

11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,760
A potion bottle.

12
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:26,760
Wonderful.

13
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,760
It's great.

14
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,760
Next.

15
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:36,920
No, I'm still doing that potion bottle dice bag thingy that I was just throwing numbers

16
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,760
into a crochet project.

17
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,080
And it looks super cute so far.

18
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:49,080
We did remote last week and now that I'm looking at it in person, it's super adorable.

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,520
So I'm at the neck of the bottle right now and I lost track of what stitch I was on,

20
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,600
so I'm just gonna go until I feel like it's where I want it to be and then I'm gonna stop

21
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,800
and hope it's not near the beginning of the project.

22
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,560
I had one of them stitch markers in here but I forgot to clip it so it fell out.

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,580
So we're just going, Tina.

24
00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:14,600
I finished all my swatches for my Master Gauge sheet, at least in terms of the ones that

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,880
are not Lion Brand Hometown.

26
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,880
I've kind of done that one a lot of times.

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,760
I kind of have that in a lot of different sizes already so I've slacked on getting the

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:29,480
last one which I think is in, I think I was gonna get it in a 10, or no, not a 10, no,

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,480
lies.

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,480
13.

31
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,480
13.

32
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,480
I was gonna do, yeah, I had 11, 15, and 10.

33
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,480
I didn't have 13.

34
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,480
Anyway.

35
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:44,360
So I'm done doing that for now and I am back to my super secret mission project and it

36
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,360
is, it is coming along.

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:55,600
It is slow going because it is a repeat that takes a while so, but I'm okay.

38
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,600
I'm good.

39
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,600
It makes me happy.

40
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,600
Good.

41
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,600
Drea?

42
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,600
Still doing the chemishawl.

43
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,880
I actually got a lot done on it in the last couple weeks.

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,080
I'm pretty impressed with myself.

45
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,640
As well you should be.

46
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:10,640
I'm using jeans.

47
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:11,640
Jeans.

48
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,640
I love that that's what the color is turned into.

49
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:15,640
It doesn't get old.

50
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:16,640
Jeans.

51
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:17,640
I love that.

52
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:19,680
Silver Moon Fiber Arts in fingering weight.

53
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,680
Excellent.

54
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,680
Faded jeans.

55
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:22,680
Excellent.

56
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,160
What are you working on, Meg?

57
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,040
I am working on the Sun Drop Top by Laura Ehler.

58
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,560
I am knitting it out of Dragon Horde yarn, gnome tweed in the Colorway Fairy Yule Tree

59
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,000
and I am still doing the raglan increases for the top.

60
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,160
I'm gonna touch it.

61
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,560
It softens up a lot when I swatched it.

62
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,080
It's unbelievably soft when it blooms.

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,400
Not loving the texture but I also know that it's gonna be a lot softer when it's blocked.

64
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,840
So there is that.

65
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,080
Be sure to check out our website PardonMyStash.com for more information as well as pictures regarding

66
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,520
our current projects, patterns and yarns.

67
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,240
So for this week we are gonna mix it up a little bit.

68
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,240
What are we doing?

69
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,120
And let me tell you.

70
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,120
I'm listening.

71
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,120
Are you?

72
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,120
No.

73
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,960
But wait, there's more.

74
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:21,800
So we're celebrating Maker Mart and we are Makering this podcast.

75
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,840
This is true.

76
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,280
So we're gonna talk a little bit about us the makers.

77
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,540
We usually don't dive too much into like us or random stuff.

78
00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:33,080
We get random questions occasionally but they're usually about knitting.

79
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:38,440
So this is gonna be a very non sequitur episode about us.

80
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,440
I only knit.

81
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,680
I sit on a couch and I just knit.

82
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,520
I have no other interests, hobbies, people in my life, nothing.

83
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,520
Just you in the stash.

84
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,520
Got it.

85
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,520
That's it.

86
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,520
That's all right.

87
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,520
All right.

88
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,520
Roll the credits.

89
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,520
Yeah.

90
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Good episode.

91
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,800
These are not gonna be like your it's not gonna be like our first episode where we talked

92
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,240
about you know this is what I do and this is my job.

93
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,920
These are gonna be some random random questions.

94
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,320
I would like to think we're a little bit better than our first episode.

95
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,320
A little bit.

96
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,480
So you're saying that people are going to get to know us as people not just as makers.

97
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,680
Yeah as random stuff.

98
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,680
Oh I like that.

99
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,680
Random random stuff.

100
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,960
All right well hit me.

101
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,960
So I'm ready.

102
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:15,960
All right.

103
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,960
I'm prepared.

104
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:17,960
Are you sure?

105
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:18,960
All right.

106
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,960
I'm gonna you know what pick a number 12.

107
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,960
12.

108
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:21,960
Wow.

109
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:22,960
She didn't give you the range.

110
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,960
Yeah I know.

111
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,760
Oh this one's particularly good for you.

112
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,760
If your pet could talk what would their voice sound like and what would they say about you?

113
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,760
Oh my god.

114
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,420
So Chester.

115
00:04:36,420 --> 00:04:42,840
So I've got two cats and I've got Chester and Charlie and Chester is this really big

116
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:43,840
striped boy.

117
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:45,800
He's like a gray tabby.

118
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,720
He's got half a tail.

119
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:53,040
He's like 16 pounds of love.

120
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,080
But he has the tiniest little baby meow I have ever freaking heard.

121
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,680
Like he never grew into a voice.

122
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,880
Like he never got one.

123
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:10,760
So he would sound really high pitched I imagine kind of nasally kind of like a stereotypical

124
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,160
cartoon nerd I guess.

125
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,620
I'm just picturing the nerd from Hey Arnold.

126
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:18,240
You know the one that's a mouth breather.

127
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,240
Yeah that's what I'm picturing.

128
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,280
I don't think that he would be a mouth breather but he would.

129
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:24,760
More like Eugene from Hey Arnold.

130
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,760
Yeah.

131
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Okay.

132
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Eugene from Hey Arnold.

133
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,760
Got it.

134
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:36,920
And he would pretty much follow me around and just be like mom mom I'm here mom.

135
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,800
I'm still here mom.

136
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,120
Pick me up.

137
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,640
Like he's really cute because like he does follow me around the house when I'm home.

138
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,640
He has like.

139
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,640
He's your baby.

140
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,640
Like he.

141
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:56,280
Frank will be chilling by himself for like three hours and he won't see.

142
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:59,200
He's like I'm going to go to the bathroom.

143
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Tina pick a number one through oh god there's so many.

144
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,560
One through a hundred.

145
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,560
Ninety nine.

146
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,560
Sixty nine.

147
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,560
You would.

148
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,560
I'm a pervert.

149
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,560
And that was the question.

150
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,560
That was the question.

151
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,560
No this was kind of I don't know.

152
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,560
No.

153
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,920
Well you know what no because you can do it for like the whole group.

154
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,160
What's a favorite memory you have of us together?

155
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,160
Oh.

156
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,240
Oh my god there's so many.

157
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,720
Favorite memory.

158
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,680
Probably the first Reinbeck I went with you guys.

159
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,880
Oh that was a good one.

160
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,160
When we did a good girl faces for Reinbeck fiction in front of the tree.

161
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,160
Yeah.

162
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,360
Actually you know what is tied.

163
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,800
It's between that Reinbeck thing that I just said the the day that we the first time I

164
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,720
went to Reinbeck with you guys because I know you went the year before without me and then

165
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,320
your bachelorette party.

166
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,920
Oh I always say that because Jess wasn't there.

167
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:52,920
I wasn't.

168
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,120
I include the Reinbeck moment because Jess was not there but I cannot ignore that bachelorette

169
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,120
party.

170
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,480
That was such a defining.

171
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,200
I think it was when I was like oh my god these are my people.

172
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,320
It was a glorious train wreck.

173
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,760
It was such a train wreck.

174
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,680
It was a glorious train wreck.

175
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,680
Everything went wrong.

176
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Such a good train wreck.

177
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,680
Like Jess should have been there.

178
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:12,680
Best memories.

179
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,880
Because Jess would have been like howling at like all of that.

180
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:16,880
Oh my god.

181
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,840
Jess would have been like the one keeping everything together.

182
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,880
Like Meg told me about it later and I was dying.

183
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:29,240
Oh no because it is it is like that's that's my story that I break out when I'm like what

184
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,120
is the craziest thing that's ever happened to you and I'm like my entire.

185
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,760
Such a comedy.

186
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,120
You know what like really I should have looked at that and been like set up for the marriage.

187
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,880
The marriage is also going to be a gong show.

188
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,440
This is my first marriage not my second marriage.

189
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,440
Not to me.

190
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:45,440
Not to me.

191
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,560
Long story short without to get like horribly into it but it was just we we just it was

192
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,560
a gong show.

193
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,560
Donuts.

194
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,680
Twelve neatly packaged donuts at 9 p.m.

195
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,680
Karaoke.

196
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,560
Allergy attacks.

197
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:05,160
Allergy attacks from oh and and and facing your fears from syrup lights.

198
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,160
Facing your fears.

199
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,160
When you have seizures.

200
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,160
Okay so.

201
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,920
And then you didn't even touch on the karaoke.

202
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,920
Like the absolute.

203
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:12,920
I'm leaving the karaoke.

204
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,920
That can be left up to everybody's imagination.

205
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:14,920
You can leave it up to your imagination.

206
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,920
You guys can imagine what happened.

207
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,960
But it was it was it was a night.

208
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,640
Yes it's one of my fondest memories too.

209
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,640
Jess.

210
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,640
I'm trying to think.

211
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,560
Honestly it looks like oh oh no I was gonna say number.

212
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:34,560
Oh you want a number.

213
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:36,360
Okay eight eight.

214
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,360
You would.

215
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,680
Yeah.

216
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:42,880
What color would you choose to describe yourself.

217
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,920
I know what color I would choose to describe you but you go first.

218
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:48,920
Is it magenta.

219
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:49,920
I also thought magenta.

220
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,920
Oh yikes on my.

221
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:51,920
I'm kidding.

222
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:52,920
I don't know.

223
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,920
I mean.

224
00:08:53,920 --> 00:09:00,560
I feel like it's like a swirly purple.

225
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:01,560
Why a swirly purple.

226
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:07,840
No it would be because it would be like the really really dark like intense purple.

227
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,080
But every once in a while you get like a flash of like a different color.

228
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,080
Like galaxy purple.

229
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,080
Oh I see that.

230
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,080
Yeah.

231
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,080
I can see that.

232
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,080
Yeah.

233
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,080
That's actually exactly what I was going to say.

234
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,400
It's a better name than swirly purple.

235
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,080
I feel like it's a really purple galaxy.

236
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,640
Galaxy purple sounds a lot better.

237
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,560
It's got a little bit of the blues in there.

238
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:26,560
Yeah.

239
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:27,560
I got you.

240
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:28,560
Meg pick a number.

241
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:31,200
16.

242
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,200
Where do you feel most centered and happy.

243
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:43,400
Oh that's such a good question.

244
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:49,000
So home probably seems like really trite.

245
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,960
But I really do feel like especially in the last year you know the first year that we

246
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,080
moved in here things were super chaotic.

247
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,080
But home really does feel like a haven now.

248
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,520
We were just talking about this the other day.

249
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,960
Like I love that I can walk in the door and I'm like this is safe.

250
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,120
But if I had to pick like in a place outside of my house I would I would say in the woods.

251
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:14,120
I feel really like on a really good sunny day and I'm hiking and everything just feels

252
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,600
fantastic.

253
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,240
So that would definitely be my my other really happy place.

254
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,240
42.

255
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,840
That's the answer to everything.

256
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,400
What was the first big purchase you made as an adult.

257
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,720
Oh I bought a car.

258
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,960
Oh the car.

259
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,680
Yeah same.

260
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:36,120
I got a Mazda CX3 and it was brand new.

261
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:42,960
It was I bought it in 2016 it was a 2017 and I actually just finished paying it off not

262
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:43,960
too long ago.

263
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:44,960
Like just like.

264
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:45,960
Oh my god.

265
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,960
Do you have that.

266
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,360
I can't believe you had a car that time.

267
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,880
Well it looks like brand new.

268
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,600
I paid it off early.

269
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,880
It looks like it.

270
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,320
No it's just more like it looks so good for being that old.

271
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,320
I didn't think it was that old.

272
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,000
I thought you bought that like three years ago.

273
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,280
No sometimes I feel like three years ago.

274
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,560
You keep it in good condition.

275
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:07,560
You do.

276
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:09,000
It looks really good.

277
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,320
It looks brand new.

278
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,320
Yeah.

279
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,320
Still rides pretty good too.

280
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,320
It's a really cool color.

281
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,240
Like it's a different kind of white.

282
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,240
It's called ceramic.

283
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,840
So is that really the name.

284
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,880
That is the name and sometimes if it's in like direct sunlight it looks white unless

285
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,000
it's next to a car that is white.

286
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,240
And then it looks gray.

287
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:33,320
But in like cloudy or overcast it looks gray and sometimes when it's raining it looks

288
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,520
silver.

289
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,520
It's pretty cool.

290
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,520
It's a great color.

291
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,520
It's a very good color.

292
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,540
And apparently nobody wanted it.

293
00:11:39,540 --> 00:11:42,520
So I got like a little bit of a discount on it.

294
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,520
13.

295
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,760
What does your name mean?

296
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,760
Okay.

297
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,760
So I will tell you the story of my name.

298
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,520
So first of all my full name is Christina.

299
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,960
I only let people that I like call me Tina.

300
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:54,960
I feel so honored.

301
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,720
No like when I go to work and stuff if I'm like in a you know I will go by Christina

302
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:07,040
but but at home and like with my family and with my close friends Tina is my name.

303
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,080
Apparently at this point though the podcast is also Tina.

304
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,280
Like everybody knows me as Tina.

305
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,700
So my full name Christina first we got some Jesus in there.

306
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:19,160
So I got some Christ.

307
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,160
Okay.

308
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,160
So you know I was a holy baby.

309
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,400
I came out I was glowing.

310
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,400
All right.

311
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:32,040
So I found out I looked this up sometime or another but like my full name and entirety

312
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,920
means like Christ flowers.

313
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,920
Really like floral.

314
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,240
All right.

315
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,200
Okay.

316
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:47,200
I laugh because I always would say I'm like gentle like a flower and glowing like a holy

317
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,200
person.

318
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,200
And then and then yeah exactly.

319
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,920
And every single person that knows me is like that is not that is not you at all.

320
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,560
But okay.

321
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:02,280
Excellent 37.

322
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,800
If you were to perform a duet with a famous musician musician who would it be and why

323
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,240
the famous musician Dennis Leary.

324
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Yes.

325
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,240
Glad she helped you there.

326
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,760
I was going to say the rock because that would be funny.

327
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,320
But Dennis Leary yes.

328
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,320
Perfect song.

329
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,320
I got you.

330
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,320
I know all them.

331
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,320
Okay.

332
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,800
But if you do that can I be your backup singer.

333
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:31,800
I mean yes.

334
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,120
I want to do all the callbacks.

335
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,720
It's my favorite part.

336
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:35,720
Do 40.

337
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,040
Well you know what Meg I am younger than you so maybe this works.

338
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,040
No.

339
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,120
What's one thing you tell yourself at my age.

340
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,120

Okay.

344
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:53,960
What's one thing your younger self would tell you.

345
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,360
Oh my god.

346
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,280
My younger self was an idiot.

347
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,400
So let's pretend 21 year old Meg is looking at you.

348
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,400

349
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,400
Okay.

That is what 21 year old Meg would say to me right now.

353
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,480
Oh I have so many grays it's not even funny.

354
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,480
I'm looking at you but you don't.

355
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,000
But we're not in our 20s Meg.

356
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000

357
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,280
But this is 21 year old Meg.

358
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,280
Oh that's fair.

00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,560
She's like come on stop it.

361
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,080
No I feel like 21 year old Meg would look at my life and be like you know that's that's

362
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,080
pretty good.

363
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,560
Like I think Jess would be a surprise.

364
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,000
So Jess was kind of a surprise to most people so there's that.

365
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,720
No but I mean like I I don't know.

366
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,920
Like I have the I'm married.

367
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,920
I have the kid.

368
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:43,920
I've got a job.

369
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,280
But like I'm pretty stable.

370
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,520
I think 21 year old me would be like kind of relieved.

371
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:50,520
Like OK.

372
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,240
She would be like why are you going back to school.

373
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,640
Aren't you sick of that yet.

374
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:56,680
I thought we graduated.

375
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,280
I thought we were done.

376
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,600
21 year old Meg you have a long way to go.

377
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:03,680
No I don't I don't really.

378
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,860
I'm not sure.

379
00:15:04,860 --> 00:15:08,900
I would like to think that my 21 year old self would be would be happy with what I ended

380
00:15:08,900 --> 00:15:11,200
up doing with her life.

381
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,560
But I don't know.

382
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:18,000
I also feel like 21 year old Meg was kind of dumb and made bad choices.

383
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,440
Some of the cozy shots.

384
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,440
Yeah those were pretty bad.

385
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,440
Not dumb naive.

386
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,440
Very naive.

387
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,440
Oh my god.

388
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,440
Looking at it with so naive.

389
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,440
It was so naive.

390
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,440
An experience.

391
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,440
Yeah.

392
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,440
Lack of perspective.

393
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,440
Yeah.

394
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,440
But that's the thing.

395
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,560
I would like to think that that 21 year old me would would be like cool.

396
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,560
OK.

397
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,920
I'm glad we turned out pretty stable.

398
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,360
I'm glad we're doing OK.

399
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,360
I stand by the dye your hair thing.

400
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,360
21 year old me like literally I you didn't know me when I was in college.

401
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,960
I dyed my hair all the time and I'm talking box dye in the bathtub.

402
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,440
My college friends doing it.

403
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,440
Yeah.

404
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,440
Bad choices.

405
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,440
I stopped doing that.

406
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,120
But I would have been like like literally back then I would have been like the second

407
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,120
you have gray hairs.

408
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,120
Nope.

409
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,120
Cover that shit up.

410
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,520
I would have a lot more to say.

411
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,280
But 21 year old me to almost 40 year old me.

412
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,280
I don't think she'd have a lot to say.

413
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,040
40 year old me to 21 year old me.

414
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,880
I would be like let me give you a huge cautionary tale.

415
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,880
To be fair.

416
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,000
Things you shouldn't do.

417
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,260
21 year old you.

418
00:16:18,260 --> 00:16:19,680
You would also be like OK.

419
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,360
But I saw what happened because of what you're saying now.

420
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,960
And let me tell you I make better choices.

421
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,520
I do make better choices.

422
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,840
But I would I would have a laundry.

423
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:31,840
That's the thing though.

424
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,640
I have a laundry list of things that I would do differently.

425
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,000
But then my life would probably be different now.

426
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,360
I wouldn't want to change what my life is now.

427
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,080
So you know I guess 21 year old me just has to go through a lot of crap.

428
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,560
I met Jess when I was 21.

429
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,560
Yeah.

430
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,920
It's a long go.

431
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:47,920
So no.

432
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:48,920
So what your 21.

433
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,480
What you'd say to your 21 year old self be like yeah you know that that person you just

434
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,480
met that's your wife.

435
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,600
That's the one.

436
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,520
That is your your soon to be betrothed.

437
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,520
I know.

438
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,520
Weird huh.

439
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,720
Now we met this summer.

440
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,360
I moved home from college.

441
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:13,280
What nine years later we started dating when I was 30.

442
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,280
So nine years later.

443
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,120
All right.

444
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:18,960
Moving on.

445
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,420
35.

446
00:17:20,420 --> 00:17:27,480
What is one habit you want to get rid of and one habit that you want to keep.

447
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,000
I like the one habit you want to keep.

448
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,880
I feel like that doesn't get asked enough.

449
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,440
Oh I procrastinate the out of everything.

450
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,960
Fair.

451
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,720
And it's not even because like I don't want to do something.

452
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:45,280
It's just because the idea of starting something new is just so overwhelming.

453
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,200
Starting anything is just like.

454
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,200
Fair.

455
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,200
Yeah.

456
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:55,160
So I always do my most work when I'm under the gun and under a lot of pressure and that's

457
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,160
terrible.

458
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,560
I would love to be a self starter and I guess I have it that I want to keep.

459
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,280
I know the answer to this one.

460
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,880
It's probably like my compulsive cleanliness.

461
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:05,880
That's fair.

462
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,040
Like I never want to lose that.

463
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,840
That's what wasn't what I was going to say.

464
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:09,840
What were you going to say.

465
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:10,840
How honest you are.

466
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:11,840
Oh yeah.

467
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,840
I am pretty honest.

468
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,080
Every time someone wants an honest opinion from you you give it.

469
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,400
I feel like that's a habit you always stick with.

470
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,400
You've never.

471
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,400
That's true.

472
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,400
That's true.

473
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,760
I am a very honest person and now I'm a kinder honest.

474
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,760
Yeah.

475
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,960
No it's the truth.

476
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,960
2006.

477
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:40,320
They were they were opinions and they were brutal and I was not a kind person but.

478
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,040
But you've learned how to deliver the news.

479
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,560
Being honest doesn't mean that you need to be fair.

480
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,080
To be fair.

481
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,200
It's not like you were just walking into room like let me give you a frank appraisal of

482
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,200
your looks.

483
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,640
You know it's usually usually when someone was being an ass and you were deciding to

484
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,240
bring out the big guns.

485
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,240
That's true.

486
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,240
It is true.

487
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,240
You know.

488
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,240
That's true.

489
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:07,880
It was usually a usually my honest came out of out of a huge comeuppance.

490
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,880
Right.

491
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,880
Now I just.

492
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,200
It was it was not like somebody saying hey how do I look while you look like crap.

493
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:20,160
You got to be fair to yourself here.

494
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,520
But now I usually wait for somebody to ask me my opinion.

495
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,520
Throw it out there.

496
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,520
Guns blazing.

497
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,520
God.

498
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,520
All right Tina.

499
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,520
99.

500
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:29,520
Oh.

501
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,520
Give me the last one.

502
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:31,520
All right.

503
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,640
You asked for it.

504
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,000
If you woke up one morning and all of your problems were solved how would you go about

505
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000
your day?

506
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,000
I don't like that.

507
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,360
You would probably live like Jeff and knit four to five hours a day.

508
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,320
Shout out to Jeff one of our patrons that let us know.

509
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,840
He knitted four out of five hours.

510
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,080
So OK.

511
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,240
I actually would be I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

512
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,160
I actually wouldn't know what to do because if all of my problems were solved like so

513
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,420
how are all of your problems like maybe you live in stasis but like more problems will

514
00:20:06,420 --> 00:20:10,040
pop up like it's not like that's the nature of living.

515
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,040
Yeah.

516
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,440
That's why I'm kind of like it's like resolving problems.

517
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,440
Yeah.

518
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,440
That's literally all you do.

519
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,640
Problem comes up every single day.

520
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,400
It's maybe not a groundbreaking problem but you know something happens like there's never

521
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,920
a time when everything is perfect unless you're literally sitting in stasis.

522
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,920
OK.

523
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,120
So let's rephrase that.

524
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:32,240
Let's let's just say if you had if I had all the time in the world what would I do.

525
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,960
Well we could do number 94.

526
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,000
If you had a day to yourself what would it look like.

527
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,400
Where would you go and what would you do.

528
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,400
Oh yeah.

529
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,400
That's actually the perfect question.

530
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,400
Yeah.

531
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,400
OK.

532
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,360
So if I had a date of myself what would I go where.

533
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:46,360
OK.

534
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:47,360
I would do whatever I want.

535
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:48,360
It says what would it look like.

536
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:51,360
Do I have a limit of 24 hours.

537
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:52,360
Yes.

538
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:53,360
OK.

539
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:54,360
All right.

540
00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:56,520
So let's see.

541
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:02,480
Well I would probably try to find I would probably go somewhere in Vermont or New Hampshire.

542
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:10,800
I would find a like a cabin with a beautiful canyon like mountain view and I would rent

543
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:18,720
it for the day and I would invite my friends not my children and fair.

544
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,720
That's fair.

545
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:30,240
And then and then my husband can come but he can't bring the kids.

546
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:36,200
And I would I would just chill like I would like get I would want to make sure there's

547
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:41,760
like some kind of beautiful windowed view and I would get a really comfy recliner and

548
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,600
I would lean all the way the f back where I could still see the view but I could like

549
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:54,480
knit and like put on some lo fi music in the background and just with like a weighted blanket.

550
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,040
I'd rather a mountain view than beaches.

551
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,040
Anyway continue.

552
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,040
I mean same.

553
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,040
Yeah.

554
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,040
No I hate beaches.

555
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,760
I just get sunburned and miserable and sweaty.

556
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,880
I like beaches when you can go scuba diving because then you're not really at the beach

557
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,840
you're in the water like you're in the ocean.

558
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:09,840
That's fair.

559
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:10,840
Yeah.

560
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,960
Unfortunately you have to like be at the beach before you can be.

561
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,600
Jess a number.

562
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:20,600
96.

563
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,920
No no not for her.

564
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:25,920
Oh no.

565
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:26,920
Why?

566
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,680
Go on ask the question.

567
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,760
Do you collect anything?

568
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,760
Yes.

569
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:36,760
I collect eyes.

570
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,800
I do have a collection of eyes.

571
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,720
Alright everybody sit back this is going to take a while.

572
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,720
Somewhere in the house.

573
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,600
I used to collect Snapple element bottles and then I.

574
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,600
Oh my god.

575
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,720
Yeah I had like all of them like I had like 60 some odd Snapple bottles.

576
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,160
Did your mother go nuts?

577
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,920
Yeah she recycled them on me at one point when I was doing something.

578
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,640
I forget I wasn't at home when I got back and they were gone.

579
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:08,680
She kept like six and for a while I also collected like the Snapple Sobe bottles because I really

580
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,040
like those.

581
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,840
They were cool they had the lizards on them.

582
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,560
I collect music boxes for a while.

583
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,560
I've got an assortment of those.

584
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,560
Bells.

585
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,560
Whole lot of bells.

586
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,400
There's so many bells in this house.

587
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,400
Everywhere.

588
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,400
Coins.

589
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,600
Especially like not American coins although I was collecting the state coins for a while.

590
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,760
I have everyone except for West Virginia.

591
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,760
Oh geez like put on the spot it's hard to.

592
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:33,760
Pokemon.

593
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:43,000
All the fun fancy games.

594
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Those like.

595
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,880
Told you it was a bad question.

596
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,880
The little like D&D mystery figurines.

597
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,520
Oh my god.

598
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,480
The number of mystery boxes she got.

599
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,920
I have a little army on top of my closet.

600
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:58,920
She does.

601
00:23:58,920 --> 00:23:59,920
Yarn.

602
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,200
I mean yeah yarn but not as much.

603
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,400
A lot more when I was like dragging everything.

604
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,400
Yeah there's just the.

605
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,400
Honest to god I would love to go through this house sometime and count all the dragon stuff

606
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,440
in this house.

607
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,880
A lot of it I haven't taken back out since we moved too.

608
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,440
Yeah there's more in boxes.

609
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,440
There is.

610
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,440
It's hard to believe.

611
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,560
Yeah I mean I probably could go on those are the big ones that I can think of off the top

612
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:22,560
of my head.

613
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,560
Shining rocks.

614
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,560
Order.

615
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,560
I collect.

616
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:26,560
I collect things.

617
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,560
I collect.

618
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,720
I collect frogs.

619
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,840
Like little wooden frogs that have the pegs so you run it over the back and it sounds

620
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,240
like a frog.

621
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,000
I have three right now but then I also have one that's a cricket.

622
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,960
I would say you had a cricket too right?

623
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,640
I want to get a big one though like a really big frog.

624
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,680
I've seen them they're like this big.

625
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,060
They sound like bullfrogs.

626
00:24:49,060 --> 00:24:51,200
I collect birds.

627
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,300
Bird stuff.

628
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:53,300
So much bird stuff.

629
00:24:53,300 --> 00:24:54,300
Yes.

630
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:55,300
I like birds.

631
00:24:55,300 --> 00:24:56,300
I like birds.

632
00:24:56,300 --> 00:24:57,300
Birds.

633
00:24:57,300 --> 00:24:58,300
Six.

634
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:00,840
Do you remember the first novel you ever read and if so what was it?

635
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,000
Are we talking like kids book or adult book?

636
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,680
It says novel so I'm assuming it has to be not a children's book right?

637
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,680
Oh jeez.

638
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,680
Okay.

639
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:10,680
Maybe pick a favorite.

640
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,680
Yeah pick your favorite.

641
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:12,680
Okay well we'll do the most memorable.

642
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,680
Two birds with one stone.

643
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,520
Just like nerd alert.

644
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,440
The first adult book that I remember like buying.

645
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,520
I went to the bookstore and I actually paid for it.

646
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,200
It was a used bookstore Harbor Books in Old Saybrook.

647
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:32,160
I remember going because my class had just the movie had just come out and we watched

648
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,640
it for a Civil War unit.

649
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,640
I was in fifth grade.

650
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,640
I was 10.

651
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,240
We watched Gettysburg and I saw in the credits that it was based on the novel The Killer

652
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,680
Angels by Michael Schara and I was like well I'm gonna go read that book.

653
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:45,680
I was 10.

654
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,520
And I remember going to Harbor Books and the lady was like we don't have that and then

655
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:56,400
she actually found it on the bottom shelf and I bought this book.

656
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,840
It's actually a Pulitzer Prize winning novel.

657
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,920
I read that book.

658
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,800
I don't even know how many times I read it until the cover fell off and then my mom got

659
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,120
me another used copy and I read that one until the cover fell off.

660
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:12,960
I've read that book probably 70 times.

661
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,120
I brought it to the hospital when I was in labor.

662
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:16,120
I did.

663
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:17,120
I read it in the hospital.

664
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:18,120
Not when I was in labor.

665
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:19,120
I read it afterwards.

666
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:20,120
I'd say that's impressive.

667
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:22,240
No it wasn't actually.

668
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,680
But it was like literally the that was the beginning of my wanting to be a history teacher

669
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:28,680
because I loved it so much.

670
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,400
It was such a good book.

671
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,320
It's actually really really entertaining even if you're not like a huge Civil War buff.

672
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,560
It's a really really good novel.

673
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,700
So that's the first one that I remember like adult novel I remember reading.

674
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:45,560
The first like children's book that I remember reading from cover to cover was probably something

675
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:46,680
by Beverly Cleary.

676
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,160
I read all of her books when I was a kid called the Ramona books.

677
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,160
Dre number 57.

678
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,320
Oh no.

679
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,440
If you could have any animal as a pet what would it be and why?

680
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,720
I know this one.

681
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,680
An alligator turtle.

682
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:03,680
Why?

683
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,680
Look it up.

684
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,720
No no I mean like I've looked it up.

685
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:08,720
Explain why.

686
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:09,720
Okay.

687
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,000
I'm going to give you guys a moment so that you can look it up.

688
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,440
You the listener.

689
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:21,040
Now imagine that as like a talking piece when you have company over.

690
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,040
A talking piece.

691
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,040
Oh yeah.

692
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,600
I mean yeah it's a talking piece.

693
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,440
This is Harold and if he doesn't like you he's going to chew your arm off in one bite.

694
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,640
P.S. he doesn't like anybody.

695
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,260
He likes no one.

696
00:27:35,260 --> 00:27:38,640
My favorite day ever was still the day that you asked Frank if you could get an alligator

697
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,360
turtle and he got all excited.

698
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:42,580
He was like word show me.

699
00:27:42,580 --> 00:27:47,080
And then I sent him a picture and he was like absolutely not.

700
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,080
And you wrote back.

701
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,080
Fine.

702
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,080
That was the best.

703
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,080
Alright Tina.

704
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,520
Frank is like the constant voice of reason.

705
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:56,520
Seriously.

706
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:01,720
I feel like you know just correct me if I'm wrong but does it really require a lot of

707
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,600
reason to be like you should not keep an alligator turtle as a pet?

708
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,600
Considering how I get ideas in my head and then I run with them.

709
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,600
Yeah.

710
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,000
I'm imagining you now hauling one home.

711
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,480
Look Frank look what I found.

712
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,480
I would.

713
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,280
We can keep it right?

714
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,280
Where?

715
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:24,800
Shout out to all of the significant others out there who keep the crazy one grounded.

716
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,800
You know who you are.

717
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,640
Holla at you Pat.

718
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:30,640
44.

719
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,280
Have you kept any memorabilia from your childhood?

720
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,280
Yes.

721
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,960
I don't know where it is right now but I know what box it's in.

722
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:44,640
When I was younger I had a really really really hard time making friends.

723
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,640
Just in general.

724
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,080
I know that's kind of sad but I did.

725
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,160
I had a really really hard time.

726
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,480
I was really bad at social cues and stuff.

727
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,080
So I would do.

728
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,620
I would actually write like I love to draw.

729
00:28:57,620 --> 00:28:58,620
So I would draw these.

730
00:28:58,620 --> 00:29:03,600
I would get these like hardcover from what was it Walden books and they had these hard

731
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:08,320
cover tiny little sketchbooks that you could get that were like looked like a journal size

732
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,000
like a typical like small little journal.

733
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Maybe like four by eight or four by six or something like that.

734
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:21,120
And I would use the pages as so it turned into a comic book if I kept writing in it.

735
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,520
So I have all of sixth seventh eighth and ninth grade.

736
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,580
I kept that I kept doing that.

737
00:29:27,580 --> 00:29:32,880
And it was about situations that I would witness or like because a lot of times I wasn't involved

738
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,880
in a lot of the social stuff but like I would like watch other people argue about stuff

739
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,880
and I would be like well no.

740
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,960
And I would like make them into these dramatic scenarios and stuff.

741
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,840
So that's probably like I refuse to throw them out because it reminds me how far I've

742
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:57,760
come in terms of like my social anxiety and just understanding how to be human.

743
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,540
But yeah like I really love those books.

744
00:30:01,540 --> 00:30:05,920
Very so often I'll look in them and then oh but you know don't get me wrong like I was

745
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:11,040
by by far not profound because there was like like sometimes I'll look back on them and

746
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:16,040
like if I had a crush on somebody I would make a comic page how I got married to them.

747
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:24,280
Oh man stereotypical 13 14 year old girl like we got this beautiful wedding and oh my god

748
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,280
it was so funny.

749
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,040
It was so I got married and divorced like 20 times.

750
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,040
Very good.

751
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,400
Like five pages later I'd be like okay.

752
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,160
But like yeah it was funny but yeah I like those little books.

753
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,760
Seventy seven.

754
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,400
What food reminds you most of home?

755
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,240
Reminds me most of home?

756
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:51,240
Meat bread and cheese.

757
00:30:51,240 --> 00:31:00,520
Like a nice like skillet cooked steak with some sharp cheddar and homemade bread.

758
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,520
Nice.

759
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:02,520
Pick a number.

760
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,520
86.

761
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,960
Tell me about your childhood best friend.

762
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,680
Oh that's also my reaction.

763
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,440
So you know what I think about mine too.

764
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,720
No so um my best friend's name was Lainey.

765
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,200
She lived down the street well part time lived down the street from my parents and my mom

766
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:25,200
like dragged me over there because I really was socially awkward in school and Lainey

767
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,240
didn't go to my school.

768
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,280
She was also a year behind me.

769
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,360
But our parents met and they were like oh these guys are almost the same age let's get

770
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,280
together and I really don't know what happened because the first day we kind of stared awkwardly

771
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,480
at each other and then like all of a sudden we were hanging out every waking minute together.

772
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,440
We were both obsessed with the Olympics figure skating and gymnastics.

773
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,240
We watched them we watched the tapes with them.

774
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,480
We had so many sleepovers.

775
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,040
We eat cookie dough.

776
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,240
We did all the ridiculous crap together.

777
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,720
We're still we're still best friends.

778
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:54,780
We're still close.

779
00:31:54,780 --> 00:31:56,280
She lives in Pittsburgh.

780
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,220
She has two kids.

781
00:31:58,220 --> 00:32:03,000
We don't see each other very often anymore but you know we still message each other all

782
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000
the time.

783
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,080
So we're still we're still close.

784
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:11,640
