spk_1: 2:03

This average instagram story. Hey, guys, I know you know that I had my reunion last week,



spk_0: 2:10

and it was my 10 year reunion. And you're like, How did you get married when you were 17? Well,



spk_1: 2:18

well, I'm a creep.



spk_0: 2:22

I might have been teasing. I



spk_1: 2:24

was teaching Janey in high school. Now is seizing on the heart. Wants what? It once



spk_0: 2:28

it was my 20 year.



spk_1: 2:37

You're still lie. You



spk_0: 2:38

guys wait. Am I? I'm not good at math.



spk_1: 2:42

What? Okay, Barbie, remember that?



spk_0: 2:48

You might. Can I get my mom? I was obsessed with Barbie. Obsessed, right? My mom would not allow me to have a Barbie because she did not have a career



spk_1: 3:03

right. But we had no discernible means of income.



spk_0: 3:07

But my godmother found a loophole in my very first Barbie. I will never forget Waas ballerina Barbie because she was a prima ballerina. Job was course here. And she



spk_1: 3:25

she wasn't just doing bar method.



spk_0: 3:27

No, she she had, like, a costume. I think she had, like, this crown that wouldn't come off her head. It was like, you know, like, attached to her skull and and her her her legs were constantly in point, you know, position



spk_1: 3:43

although weight her legs or feet here. Right, Herbie? But I think all Barbies had feet like that.



spk_0: 3:53

But for her, it served another purpose.



spk_1: 3:56

Do you know that rumor about Dolly Parton that she wore high heels for so long that it permanently altered the shape? I don't think



spk_0: 4:02

that's Ah, That's a real thing that happens to women. Yes, it's a real OK. Y'all OK, y'all. This is how barbaric high heels are that if you constantly wear high heels, it shortens your like Achilles attendance, Something I don't know. My brother is a physical therapist. So if I could just call him and ask him without



spk_1: 4:27

your Achilles foot meat



spk_0: 4:31

and then you can't fully flat in your feet like after years of something.



spk_1: 4:39

Isn't it interesting that barbaric and Barbie of the same root word? I don't like to



spk_0: 4:45

really put Barbie in that category because she has come a long way, baby. And like she's cool because, like, she could wear whatever you put on her. And she's got, like, friends and boyfriend. Oh, I had the Barbie dream. I mean, you don't understand. But now where I was Barbie



spk_1: 5:06

so but this all came from your godmother. She started it. She started. And then your mom ended of relenting. I



spk_0: 5:13

mean, it was done like the horse was out the gate like it was done, like probably if I had been born like an American girl times or whatever. I mean, I just love dolls like I did collect dolls. My grandmother, she would visit Arizona State, a friend like in Arizona, and she'd always like bringing back like, Native American coloring books. And I mean, they weren't like, necessarily Native American coloring. But they're they're calling books that taught you about Native American culture. Yeah, and I had, like, a collection of like Native American dolls. And they had, like, awesome like you like braids and, you know the whole like beated this and fringe and stuff kind of like like like share or something in her variety show,



spk_1: 6:06

I want to tell you something that I'm remembering. First of all, I remember my cousins who lived next door. I grew up. I grew up next door. My cousins, my mom's side, my mom's sister. Yes. Can I



spk_0: 6:15

explain when you say next door? Because I think it's like a troll like Philly thing. So Paul, who grew up in Philly and



spk_1: 6:23

neighborhood called Mount Airy, we've discussed it. Yes, not the beautiful memory logic.



spk_0: 6:28

And they have, like these houses there, in fact, my brother and sister mall living one in Philly. There, these houses, they're called a double like you might call it a duplex in your neck of the woods. But it's called it's called a double.



spk_1: 6:43

Feels funny is I don't remember growing up with any term for it, but they were two adjoining houses.



spk_0: 6:49

Yeah, there's like a



spk_1: 6:50

big stone houses, and we both had huge families. We have six kids in my family. They had seven. I know he got to live a wall away from his cousin like I'm so jealous. Like how cool is that? It was



spk_0: 7:04

okay. Would, like knock on the wall



spk_1: 7:06

way. We would all play together all the time. We had it way had a shared backyard that, for all the time that I was growing up, had no grass. And then after all the kids had moved away from home, the grass came back to the art. And I've never seen it like that before. You run down the girl fall. We were never not back there. Um, but my cousins and my girl cousins next door had it was like a precursor to American girl dolls where it was like Dolls of the world.



spk_0: 7:38

Oh, okay. I was gonna guess



spk_1: 7:40

cause there's a They were, like, a little shorter than Barbie sized. Um, and they were dressed in native garb of various countries. Yeah, different. And they had eyes that open and closed when you like, lead them down, their eyes would close.



spk_0: 7:51

Yes. I don't like that. I loved it.



spk_1: 7:53

I just flashed on this. I forgot about this. I don't know where this came from. I had I had dolls like to say, like a right. Like the same size, like a Barbie doll. Dolls of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Uncle Sam. What?



spk_0: 8:14

You had Barbies of what? I mean, I do remember my brother. I think he had an Evel Knievel



spk_1: 8:22

ou alot, of course. Yeah, There was a kid that I knew in my neighborhood. I can't remember his name, but he had the evil can. Evil that rode a motorcycle and you would crank up. You would put it in this sort of like, I don't know what you call it, but you put it in this contraption, you would crank it and then let it go. I think that



spk_0: 8:44

he had and jump over,



spk_1: 8:46

like, so jealous of it. Oh, okay. You're most of the $6 million man doll, which was amazing. Oh,



spk_0: 8:53

we had that. We had that cause I had bionic women.



spk_1: 8:56

Sure. Now, with the $6 Million Man doll, you could look through his bionic eye because he had a whole,



spk_0: 9:02

like a thing on her arm that you could remove.



spk_1: 9:05

He'll up the stairs. Yeah. Yeah,



spk_0: 9:07

and I'm speaking, had a had a Donny and Marie doll and they had, like,



spk_1: 9:13

purple. Oh,



spk_0: 9:14

yeah, they had, like, purple, like polyester outfits. And, um, I just like I said, had so many good toys, like we were kind of like lucky, cause we got is me, my brother, and and, uh, we had kind of young parents, you know, like, ah ha on



spk_1: 9:32

they were divorcing way. Well, that



spk_0: 9:35

happened later. Uh oh, yeah. Well, cause this is reminding me to that when, um when my family blended, my stepbrother burned my Barbies under the house. That's right and say, Hey, the house Because the house was like hotels and Sullivan's island. And so he's like Salem Witch.



spk_1: 9:55

She didn't, like, crawl under there like sounder. And do you



spk_0: 9:58

know he did. He doesn't. We were outside, and he could, and he burned them like sale in which Barbie that's stopped the story. But like, yeah, so there was never that was really aggressive with me.



spk_1: 10:16

Do you remember when they came out with a Barbie? This was like in the late eighties? Maybe. And it was a talking Barbie, and one of the things that Barbie said was math is hard. And then there was an uproar if



spk_0: 10:29

I remember that, or if I just know it as a piece of late.



spk_1: 10:32

Well, I'm a little bit older than you.



spk_0: 10:33

I know because I got married right out, like a week after I graduated heist,



spk_1: 10:39

probably in diapers. But she said, math is hard and the people were upset by it. But what's funny? Letmathe is hard, though. That's what I think now. I totally get why people are upset. But I think my mind I was like, method hard.



spk_0: 10:53

It's like this stereotype that women don't gravitate towards science. Okay, I also had this awesome toy I couldn't think of, like some other awesome times. But like I had a floating, This is a bathtub toy, a floating Gilligan's Island, right? Like that's all right.



spk_1: 11:15

Was it? What was the one that you couldn't play with outside? You had a floating toy that you had to play with.



spk_0: 11:22

Oh, I know you're talking about. I had, um it was it was the Barbie Dream house, but they made me set it up in the bathtub and the guests back. Why? Why? I was



spk_1: 11:41

made because it was my grandmother. Were you telling me that? But for some. You were That was the only place you were allowed to play with.



spk_0: 11:50

Yeah, it was allowed to play with it in the in the unused bath tab.



spk_1: 11:55

This is your mom's mom?



spk_0: 11:57

She had some issues. What did



spk_1: 12:02

she think was going to be made by you? Playing with his plan



spk_0: 12:05

is messed up. Is like I love Tell me. I would. I was fine with sitting on like this. There was like a footstool, I said at the foot of the bath tub And like, I sat like, crouched down and was like, I level with my Barbie dream house. And



spk_1: 12:26

But you were outside



spk_0: 12:26

the tub? No, in the tub. I put the foot store.



spk_1: 12:32

You put the Barbie dream house on the footstool.



spk_0: 12:34

No, you're not following.



spk_1: 12:37

No, I'm not. I think that's a parent. You tell you that doesn't help



spk_0: 12:47

e they There's a weird like pods and are hot gases because I can tell our battery is lowering. And if there's a moment where I had to change it, we're going toe handle it, but nothing. And



spk_1: 13:01

don't tell us our fucking business. If we have to change, your battery will change it OK?



spk_0: 13:09

Fucking right. Here's what would happen. The Barbie dream. Whose would be in the bathtub? Yes, but it wouldn't be like facing out. It would be facing like the shower head. So you put the three. You put the Barbie dream house in the tub



spk_1: 13:30

on the tub floor.



spk_0: 13:32

That's what I'm saying.



spk_1: 13:33

Okay? I'm confirming I'm just trying to understand. Are your eye level with the Barbie Dream House? If it is sitting on the floor of the time,



spk_0: 13:45

it is not facing out into the bath room. It's facing, like toward the like water spigots, right Like that. Okay, so then



spk_1: 13:58

back of the house presumably.



spk_0: 14:01

What is the back of



spk_1: 14:02

house? The back of the house where you tell me where



spk_0: 14:09

I'm going to tell you where I am. But I'm tryingto I need you. I need you to visualize where the dream houses



spk_1: 14:16

which Which part of the dream house is facing the shower Head



spk_0: 14:21

the front of that



spk_1: 14:21

in front of the house. Okay.



spk_0: 14:23

The open part where the fourth wall is dropped right? Then



spk_1: 14:30

where? The proceeding of it.



spk_0: 14:34

Then I had a step stool that I put in the floor of the tub. My back as I sat on the steps stool was to the ***. It's my front was facing into the dream home, right? So all of me and Jim home is contained in the tub.



spk_1: 15:04

Okay. I never was confused. Now, all of you being in the tub at the same time. My confusion was you said your eye level with the dream home



spk_0: 15:16

because when I would crouch on that step stool. I mean, I can really see in there,



spk_1: 15:22

but what? But why did you need the step stool? Just to become



spk_0: 15:26

for better for my hips. And



spk_1: 15:28

you don't wanna get dysplasia. Or is there a great in this tub? Like a put like a swimming pool? Now you're the deep end of the tub. No. Okay, So you would sit there because your grandmother didn't want Barbies. Little fucking shoes and everything going all over the Yes. Yeah,



spk_0: 15:53

she was. She was, like, maybe a little nuts.



spk_1: 15:56

This is your mom's mom?



spk_0: 15:57

Yes, my mom's mom. She was not nice to my mom. Yeah. Yeah,



spk_1: 16:05

I was just talking with my siblings today about my mom's mom. Huh? Who apparently did not like Children she like babies. But we We did not have a fun Grandma.



spk_0: 16:23

I don't know. My grandma might have been fun because, you know, she let us watch TV all day,



spk_1: 16:29

not see how Grandma did not



spk_0: 16:31

watch days of our lives. Way



spk_1: 16:34

watch. Migra. Remember, the only thing we ever watched with my grandmother at her home was the Lawrence Welk Show.



spk_0: 16:43

That is what? You're right. She sucked.



spk_1: 16:45

Shit, she sucked. She had a ah, horrible couch that had a board under the cushions because it makes the couch last longer. Then she had a huge ah tree in her front yard that we were not allowed to play on. Like this is not a delicate tree. There's, like a big, sturdy tree, right? You could argue. Maybe, is for safety. Who doesn't let a kid fucking planetary?



spk_0: 17:11

Well, I mean, my grandma, my mother's mother, was sort of like that, like she wouldn't let us, you know, have fun. Well, we can play in do stuff, but like, there was a lot of like that world is gonna



spk_1: 17:29

Oh, my God.



spk_0: 17:31

Well, I have, like, a terrible memory. This is weird and, like, traumatic. And I'm like now. I'm sharing it on here. Take.



spk_1: 17:38

You don't have to if you don't want to.



spk_0: 17:39

I mean, it's fine. It's just like other people might have had a similar experience. But, like, Okay, my granddad, he was, like, fun. And they hated each other, and they, like, fought. And



spk_1: 17:51

I wish him



spk_0: 17:51

Yeah, he was, like, so fine. But, uh, he was, like, working out back. And me and my brother were little kids, like little, and I think I'm gonna sneeze in a minute. Sorry.



spk_1: 18:03

Something for two.



spk_0: 18:04

Yeah. So it's the weather here. Um, he was out back working. It was hot, so he had a shirt off, and then my brother and I were out there, like pretending to work, you know, like, how little good. And then my brother took his shirt off when I took my shirt off to, and we were out there playing, and it was fun and edited a And then my grandmother saw that I didn't have my shirt on and came out and made me not, you know, Grandpa or my brother put my shirt on and I was like, you know, I was, like, sick. You



spk_1: 18:47

never told me that before.



spk_0: 18:48

Well, I don't think of it a lot. She passed away when I was in the sixth grade, but like it was very like confusing. Then it felt like I had done something wrong.



spk_1: 19:00

Raises way more questions than just allowing. Yes,



spk_0: 19:04

but I don't now that I know that they hated each other. And they like what? Screaming like they'd have, like, crazy, like George and Martha from Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? Fights like I wonder



spk_1: 19:14

if it was



spk_0: 19:14

more about him than me now because I was only like six. You know what I mean? Like, you know, he was doing something wrong versus



spk_1: 19:26

E Don't know. I mean, I don't know, but that that's



spk_0: 19:29

messed up. Like when I think about it,



spk_1: 19:31

it's It's crazy



spk_0: 19:32

and kind of weird.



spk_1: 19:33

My favorite story about your granddad that you never got you because



spk_0: 19:39

he died right before we started dating.



spk_1: 19:41

But he was like a like, would you say, like a Falstaffian figure like he was, he was a larger than life.



spk_0: 19:48

Yeah. He drank Lee if they



spk_1: 19:49

loved lifeboats. Yes. Smoke like a chimney. Drank like a fish. Gambled.

spk_1: 20:36

and Bob was talking to him and he kept, like, grabbing his arm, like, you know what I mean, Bill, Like shaking him and Bill finally and say, Bob, you're killing me. You have to see the



spk_0: 20:52

well, like he was, like, so funny. He, um yeah, I don't know why he had, like, two. He would drive these big like Lincoln's.



spk_1: 21:01

Of course he did.



spk_0: 21:03

And, um, you know, they were like, a big boat, you know? And, uh, he had to, I think, cause he had, like, he was leasing one, and he was about to return the other release in Ah, he forgot that the other one was parked behind the one that he had in the garage, and he backed into the one. I guess that he was supposed to return or whatever. And then So we took the one to the shop and was like, Hey, can you fix this front end? And he is like, in the guys like and he's like, whatever you charge me, double it. I got another one home with a bag of is just like that Iselin. Ah, yeah. He was super fun.

spk_0: 27:46

That reminding us something from drama school, which is gross. I have believe that. Okay, anyway, that's about, like, childhood and trauma. I think we should all

other toy we had that was like, the best we had this Snoopy Sno cone machine.

spk_1: 29:34

You know, you



spk_0: 29:35

like those pizzas, but pizza did over coverage garlic, and there's a major like overcame. I didn't feel



spk_1: 29:42

like I was into the old country.

That's nice that you put your cologne on. You have really nice.



spk_1: 29:46

spk_0: 30:02

And also, it's hard to buy a cent for somebody.



spk_1: 30:04

Yes, it is. Like, if you



spk_0: 30:06

don't know their deal. Absolutely. And he latent healed



spk_1: 30:09

a knocked it out of



spk_0: 30:11

there. There. Classy. Like Matt and Amanda.



spk_1: 30:14

Yeah. They have good taste. Yeah, there will be a mandala, and



spk_0: 30:17

they're like,



spk_1: 30:18

they'll never l again if you listen. Don't I don't want anyone who's hearing this. Let them that we talked about them. I know. He said good things. I don't care.



spk_0: 30:31

All right, I know we'll probably exhausted the toy topic, but I want to hear about more toys that you had. I have you remember to wait. Did you get there?



spk_1: 30:40

Absolutely. My first memory is a toy. My earliest memory, my earliest memory. And I don't know how old I waas, but I can see this. And it was an old toy to that. Must have been like a from, you know have been in the family or something.



spk_0: 30:57

Was it a ventriloquist dummy? Why? What would you like? Like saying? You can see it and it's like watching you back.



spk_1: 31:07

I didn't say you could see me. I have. This is my flash of memory is sitting at our dining table and in front of me is this, uh, die cast metal fire truck and it's old. It's like the paint has been coming off. There's like just some flecks of red paint that are left on it.



spk_0: 31:31

Lead paint, red



spk_1: 31:33

red paint, which is probably little. But I was like a cast iron thing or something, and I room I concede in my mind, and I have a feeling of affection towards it. When I think of that, where



spk_0: 31:48

do you think it iss where it happened



spk_1: 31:50

to God? It's long gone, long gone like I don't remember it from. That's the only memory I have of it, like I don't remember it from later when I was old enough to have 24 memories. But that's the earliest thing that I can remember



spk_0: 32:01

Has grand nieces and grand nephews.



spk_1: 32:06

Yes, I have nieces and nephews that have Children, so I'm a great uncle.



spk_0: 32:11

Yeah, that's amazing.



spk_1: 32:14

It's what? It's weird.



spk_0: 32:15

Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. Well, okay, so



spk_1: 32:22

now let's let's talk a little bit. About 10 years ago today,



spk_0: 32:27

I was seeing how today is the exact opposite. I have 10 years ago. True. No friends around us not allowed. Ah, no prospect. Ah, the future is uncertain. Doesn't feel like we're gonna, you know, conquer anything.



spk_1: 32:58

Let's not go.



spk_0: 32:58

That and I was, like, also was thinking how when we were getting married, how no one, like if anyone had said to us 10 years ago like, Oh, you guys, they're gonna have, like, a fun life. And, you know, marriage is this and that you You might in 10 years being a worldwide pandemic where you're not allowed to go out for work. And if you sneeze on someone, you could kill him. And the person in charge is of pandemic. Doesn't care if you die. No, that would have been unbelievable.



spk_1: 33:40

There will. There will be people begging to get sick.



spk_0: 33:45

Oh, yeah, that's happening now, right?



spk_1: 33:46

That. But no one said that to us. We have.



spk_0: 33:49

Okay, so our wedding was like maybe the funnest thing in the universe, and we're not being bias because other people have, like Baghdad's tohave.



spk_1: 33:57

It was one of those. It was one of those good weddings. We had a good wedding in on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. A lot of our friends and family going for the first time.



spk_0: 34:06

The party. It was like it wasn't like a crazy, sloppy party, although there was some stuff going on. It's usually at the end, but always hoping with my brightness. But, you know, so it's I probably shouldn't tell that, you



spk_1: 34:22

know, you should be telling tales out of school.



spk_0: 34:26

But everyone was just, like, so happy. And it was like So



spk_1: 34:31

he was joyous. Yeah,



spk_0: 34:32

and the food was great. Yeah, yeah. So we plugged the caterer for catering.



spk_1: 34:37

Why not?



spk_0: 34:40

There we have. Although we did have boiled peanuts and I heard that someone didn't know what they weren't ate the whole shelf. Eight like a whole peanut shell.



spk_1: 34:51

Do you know that people do that anyway?



spk_0: 34:53

Well, there



spk_1: 34:54

with regular peanut



spk_0: 34:54

vein. We know you know what I know of people or heard. Tell of people who don't peel shrimp. That's they eat the shrimp



spk_1: 35:04

with the shell on. Don't just eat a crab that way, then I don't



spk_0: 35:09

know, but it's gross, right? I also like Why? Like what?



spk_1: 35:13

What is the splash?



spk_0: 35:15

It is like like maybe they're aliens.



spk_1: 35:19

Well, it's a good theory, actually.



spk_0: 35:21

Wondered. I know I'm not allowed to talk about him, but the guy who is president right now, I, like, would not be scared, scared? Surprised if he was an alien.



spk_1: 35:33

That's an interesting theory. And I'm sure there's someone else that believes that I bet you're not alone. And



spk_0: 35:39

no, I'm starting to believe it.



spk_1: 35:41

I wouldn't be I mean, honestly, would be. Really? Doesn't talk



spk_0: 35:44

like a normal No, let's Let's not allowed. All Okay, well, the anniversary to me,



spk_1: 35:54

That's I mean, I am. First we'll let you talk about the deranged president. Right? The like of



spk_0: 36:02

you eat a shrimp without a shot. Like that's an alien move. Yeah, for sure. If you boiled peanuts in the shell, Who does that? Where have you heard of that?



spk_1: 36:11

No, I've heard of people. Not even boiled peanuts in the shell. Regular peanuts in the show. And in fact, I saw someone do it right in now. Hill.



spk_0: 36:21

Someone you know.



spk_1: 36:22

Yes, it's our friend David Reese. We were just on his podcast. Election profit makers.



spk_0: 36:26

Oh, yes, we got a plug are



spk_1: 36:28

that just came out earlier this week. But it's this week's episode of election profit makers. It's, um, David Reese. John Kimble on Star Lee Kind. They go on the same site, calling again predicted dot or gambling. Yeah, it's a gambling site you gamble on, like the stock market style you you invest in, um, the outcomes of elections, but also weird things like, Will the president tweet 200 times between this date and this date? You know, like you gun, it's anything. You gamble on anything, and it's a really but it's a really enjoyable podcast, and they talk a little bit about that. But mostly they just kind of shoot the shit about politics. And it's ah, and it's great. I really am a big fan of the podcast. It's really it was really fun, but David and I, I was, you know,



spk_0: 37:14

he ate a peanut with a shell on it.



spk_1: 37:16

I was in New York to work on the TV show Blind Spot a few years ago, and I had some days off, and so I went to some baseball games, which was great. I went to a Yankees game. I went to two Mets games. Um um, and David came with me to the second Mets game that I went to, which was a night game that ended up getting rained out. Hardliner. But is there because it kind of started rate raining immediately?



spk_0: 37:41

That's so miserable in the



spk_1: 37:43

Yeah, and it was the Mets versus the Phillies. I didn't get his play, so we were sitting there and he got peanuts. And he I think he was discovering this. I don't think he had done it yet, but he had heard about people eating Peanuts Hole. And then he did it in front of me and it was wild teen



spk_0: 38:01

and like it there,



spk_1: 38:03

he seemed to like it. He seemed to like it like you claim to like



spk_0: 38:06

this. Are you sure he wasn't like putting you on?



spk_1: 38:10

Look, he's a trickster. He's like Loki. He's mischievous, but I believe that he believed he enjoyed this. But David, if you're listening, let me know. Please don't tell Matt and Amanda that we talked about them.



spk_0: 38:26

I don't know. What this ploy. Are you trying to get mine? Amanda, Get mad of us.



spk_1: 38:32

Now. The opposite.



spk_0: 38:33

Okay, Okay, well,



spk_1: 38:36

but we had a wonderful wedding.



spk_0: 38:38

We did.



spk_1: 38:39

It's been a wonderful 10 years.



spk_0: 38:41

It has the house. We got married and no longer belongs to my family friend that let us came here.



spk_1: 38:48

That's right. We lucked out that as soon as we got engaged,



spk_0: 38:51

I think we did mention that on



spk_1: 38:53

the Yeah. I mean, that is every time I think about that, because we know a lot of people who got married,



spk_0: 38:58

I wouldn't let any



spk_1: 38:59

spk_0: 39:00
