Samcat, and we are back and we got in the hot seat, not in the love seat To my left. Today she is coming off a five day bender of her cousin's 30th birthday party. She is barely alive right now, but she is here. She is rocking some Nike sneakers just regular old air maxes I believe they call those. They got some air in the max of the heel. She's got some black leggings. That's just a classic. Every lady's got a pair of those in their closet with a sweatshirt unzipped it's called a quarter zip.

FannypackCat:

buddy, A quarter zip.

Speaker 3:

Oh God, we are off to a hot start.

Shawn:

We got nothing in the hair today, Just a couple strands behind the left ear, a couple behind the right ear. She's got a fanny pack laying next to her side. I don't know why she has a fanny pack. I don't know what's in the fanny pack. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Fanny Cat. Fanny Pack Cat.

Speaker 3:

Fanny Pack Cat is better. Fanny Cat is a little weird. I just learned right now that you put a Z in the word Massachusetts.

Shawn:

Massachusetts.

Speaker 3:

No, it's Massachusetts.

Shawn:

It's Massachusetts.

Speaker 3:

There's no Z in the word Massachusetts Booth.

Shawn:

I grew up in Massachusetts.

Speaker 3:

Okay, that's simply incorrect pronunciation.

Shawn:

You know what's spelled Massachusetts?

Speaker 3:

I have no idea. I started spelling Mississippi there for a second.

Shawn:

M-I-S-S-I-S-I-P-P-P-I.

Speaker 3:

Wow, look at you.

Shawn:

Education.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so it's Massachusetts and I will 100% die on that hill Do you know what's called Connecticut? If I thought about it, yeah.

Shawn:

Think about it.

Speaker 3:

C-O-N-N-E-C. It's connect to Kit.

Shawn:

Connect, I cut.

Speaker 3:

Like Wednesday.

Shawn:

Yeah, that was a tough one growing up.

Speaker 3:

I do like the joke that has been circulating on the internet of like man. I really wish Gwen Stefani would have spelled something more important than bananas, because I do refer back to that, but it's just like I wish it was necessary. Or restaurant I can never spell the word restaurant.

Shawn:

There's one word I'm trying to think of it right now that I can never get right, and it's a simple word. Hopefully I remember it, it's Massachusetts. That one too, but there's one that's more commonly used throughout the English language, and I'm just like necessarily as hard. That one's not terrible.

Speaker 3:

It's just like how many C's versus how many S's my dude.

Shawn:

Yeah, who knows I before E, except after C, but plus before the P under the T.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Shawn:

That's what they say Anyways, how was your weekend.

Speaker 3:

It was so long. It was a fantastic weekend. My cousin, like Sean said, turned 30. So if you listened to last week, when Nick was with us, my mother and one of my cousins was already here. We did a lot of house projects leading into the weekend, so we were already working hard before everybody else showed up. The grand total was 22 of us in two Airbnb's plus friends from Nashville. We did a party bus on Friday with costumes, which was actually so fun. I had not been on a party bus since I basically moved to Nashville.

Shawn:

They're fun.

Speaker 3:

They are so much more fun when you're on them than stuck behind them late to be going to wherever you're supposed to be going. My father was a pastor, my mother was a pregnant nun, my one cousin was the pope and his husband was the cardinal, and they were leaning out the side of the bus like blessing people. I am pretty sure I'm surprised I haven't seen them on Instagram. The amount of people that were taking videos of them and obviously my dad was like eating it up and so was the rest of them. But I made a conscious effort.

Speaker 3:

When I got off, I was like you know what? It was so fun to have people reacting to us positively, like it was awesome for people to like wave back and like really dive into it. And I'm like I'm going to make an effort now, when I see the party buses, to like honk my horn, clap for them, woo them, whatever it may be, because it was fun for me and I live here and I see it every single day. I'm like, oh man, imagine if you came from a small town and had never experienced that before. That would be awesome. You feel famous.

Shawn:

Yeah, I like pumping them up. I pump them up, I'll give them a little fist pump. I'll throw them on my Instagram, which I've been doing lately for the Batch Rat parties.

Speaker 3:

I have noticed that Is that like a new segment you're trying out? It's a new segment.

Shawn:

I love it, people love it, and there's some people who send me the meanest DMs. They're like you are so mean and so rude that you're out here making fun of these girls. I'm like whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not making fun of anybody. I am literally posting a video of them walking down Broadway in front of the wings. I'm pumping them up. I'm putting some fun music on Like this is fun.

Speaker 3:

Those people obviously are really fun.

Shawn:

We'd love to invite you to Happy Hour, yeah there was one lady who was trying to say, compare it to me being a dad and if I have a daughter, and I was like lady, you need to just like chill, Chill and you don't even say anything about them.

Speaker 3:

You just like. Oh, broadway has never seen a group of 23 like those girls. I had the 23s on.

Shawn:

The last one I had was all the girls walking across the crosswalk with all white boots and skirts on.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, that is the uniform. If you would like to come to Nashville and be a tourist, you wear some sort of denim, a hat and white knee high cowboy boots.

Shawn:

Right, I love it and I get. Now I get batch rep parties DM and me tell me where they are.

Speaker 3:

So you can come take a bit. Yeah, you're about to like launch a segment here. I think we're on to something, yeah.

Shawn:

I'm trying to get a batch rep party on the show. We've had multiple reach out but the dates don't work. But if there's a.

Speaker 3:

It's tough in the middle of the week I was going to say because we film this on Tuesdays, wednesdays they're not. You know, they have jobs at home.

Shawn:

They're usually dead by Tuesdays.

Speaker 3:

That's how I feel right now. Yeah, I feel like I was at a bachelor party.

Shawn:

Well, it was how many days?

Speaker 3:

Five, five days.

Shawn:

Now is that too long. Way too long, way too long 30th birthday is obviously a big birthday, sure, but five days is five days.

Speaker 3:

So Thursday night my mom. So I don't know if you've ever heard of Portillo's in Chicago land area based.

Shawn:

Is that a restaurant?

Speaker 3:

Yes, they have hot dogs. They're like famous for hot dogs and Italian beef. They're delicious. I grew up outside Chicago so that's like a staple in our family. My cousin Kelsey loves hot dogs.

Shawn:

They call her Kel's dog.

Speaker 3:

That's very true. So my mom got like a pre-packaged shipped hot dog meal for our family to enjoy on her actual birthday, which was Thursday. Friday, like I said, we went on the party bus. Saturday we went on the General Jackson cruise on the Cumberland River and it was pretty cool. They had like dancing and singing and all that. The food was decent and you could go out and you're in the Cumberland. I've never seen downtown from the Cumberland. I do have to say that was a pretty good view.

Shawn:

You ever swim in the Cumberland? It's dirty. There's dead people in there.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I've seen bodies in the Cumberland.

Shawn:

They pulled out.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'm not going to venture in there, but I had never seen you feel so small down in the water looking up at Nissan and you look over at the Batman building looks enormous and obviously the riffraff of Broadway was hysterical to watch from that and then on Sunday was the main event. That's where it all started. We went to the Woolworth Theater where Chuck Wicks has his show, but we rented out the basement bar it's called the Twisted Wool and we had some of our friends that play locally here and some have been on the Voice and some have dropped their debut albums and all that stuff and we had them perform two or three of their songs, did some covers and then we had a DJ.

Shawn:

Nice.

Speaker 3:

And I drank 102 old fashions. And then we went to Lakeside Lounge on the East Side to round it out, because that's how we do we go from top tier, high level theater. Everybody was dressed to the nines and almost red carpet attire. It was like black tie. And then we went to Dive Bar, east Side before we called it a night.

Shawn:

There we go. That's how it works. That's the last time I drank was at Chuck's bar on Jingle Jam and the basement.

Speaker 3:

I was there. That was a good time too. That bar is awesome. I love it. That bar is awesome and it's like reasonably priced compared to Broadway.

Shawn:

Well, unless you're like me and I'm on stage, I'm like everybody here gets a shot of tequila. Line them up.

Speaker 3:

You did order 40 tequila shots before we left.

Shawn:

Yeah 40.

FannypackCat:

No, it was 40.

Speaker 3:

I have a video of it on my phone of you with your turtleneck and your arm sling, I'm like this dude's about to fall off the stage and break his other arm.

Shawn:

Yeah, that was rough.

Speaker 3:

That's when we were looking at videos of the first Jingle Jam we ever had, where you were, santa Claus. That was a good time. We were reminiscing. Yeah, that was a good time.

Shawn:

Yeah, I mean we haven't started planning Jingle Jam yet. I don't know if we're going to do it this year. A lot going on, got a baby coming. We're getting pretty close it's. I don't know, we'll see.

Speaker 3:

How's it going with that? What's an update there?

Shawn:

An update. We're going good. We're rocking the third trimester and we have eight weeks left. The baby is now like Ready to live on its own if something were to happen, and the baby came early, which is a very comforting thing to know. Yeah and she's just at that uncomfortable stage. You just start getting so big and you can't like lay down. You lay down one side, the baby's kicking, but it's like every two minutes she's like feel, feel, feel, like grab my hands and it is wild.

Shawn:

Last night I was literally feeling the baby on one side of the belly and I could feel it on the other side. The thing is running out of room in there.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, well, Dra's not tall, she's a small person. So there's not a lot of room for that baby to go.

Shawn:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

I Genuinely like my hands are sweating now thinking about touching a baby in the belly. I don't know what it is, but it's not not my thing. It's I wild. I think it's cool to look at and obviously it's like, oh my god, there's a human inside you. But I do not want to touch the belly. When a baby kicks a belly, I'm like I can't unfeel it. I don't know what it is. It's always been like that.

Shawn:

It's no offense to people's bellies, but I'm the same way and when I feel, it's like a whole different Thought process, when I can actually feel my kid, it is. It's like obviously it's real and you know, the more time goes by, the more I'm like holy crap having a kid. But when I have my hand on her belly and that thing starts moving around, it is like Sends shock waves through my body, like holy crap you know that in two months you'll be holding that baby.

Speaker 3:

That's nuts. That's so exciting, though that's not. I feel like the one thing I was actually thinking about, her and my other friend is having a baby Honestly, probably two days before Dre, if Dre goes to her due date, but the only thing I could think about for them right now. I know they're uncomfortable, but it's like damn. At least it's not 90 degrees anymore. We've had some nice weather here in Nashville and I'm like that has to be some sense of relief that you're getting to the point of being so uncomfortable that maybe the underboob sweat has chilled out just a bit.

Shawn:

Yeah, I was talking about this today with somebody had a Brokers open I'll still real estate on the side and we had this lady there who just had a baby four weeks ago and she had the baby with her and Just had this. Was it a baby Bjorn?

Speaker 3:

like a really cool one pouches yeah.

Shawn:

She was just, she was there for like two hours and just standing up, walking around the house and just like you know, kind of just moving back and forth a little bit, not a peep out of the baby. And then we got into talking about it. She had twins that are three years old. Wow, yeah, they came out four pounds boys. Oh yeah, and I was like that's pretty big for a couple twins.

Speaker 3:

Is it? Oh, I don't know anything about twins, but that sounds small.

Shawn:

Yeah, that's a total of eight pounds if you do the math.

Speaker 3:

That's true. So I mean, I mean most twins come out early?

Shawn:

Yeah, because they can't stand there much longer.

Speaker 3:

Think about if you were a small woman like Dre and had twins. You don't even have room for one baby. What the hell are two going?

Shawn:

You see my grandma she had twins, identical twins. My grandma is like four foot eight eight twins run in your family my answer identical twins. My granny was a twin. I have cousins who are twins. Oh yeah, I was hoping for twins. Yeah, I wanted twins.

Speaker 3:

Okay, yeah, I just cuz.

Shawn:

Yes, knock them out, you're gonna have one, mines will have two, and so and you Doesn't have to push either of them out of their little body that whole thing, but I might they come out with the best friend. There's a video I saw on tiktok today. That was like the cutest thing in the world. There was these two twins and it was the first time that they had been separated Since birth for like the day.

Speaker 3:

Oh, they're like toddlers, toddlers. I've seen this video, I think and then they get them back together, yeah, oh, and the crib.

Shawn:

Oh yeah, no, they're back together and they have the night cam on the the cribs. They have one this way, one that way and they both stood up in the middle of night and they were just hugging each other and kissing each other on the forehead and just holding each other. That's gonna make me cry. Yeah, like little little babies, like in the middle of the night. Oh, it was the first time that they've been apart, and it's wild.

Speaker 3:

I only know a handful of twins. Yeah in my personal life and I don't know that I.

Shawn:

There's a lot of twins here in Nashville. I know a bunch of twins here in Nashville, really, yeah, okay, I guess I'll go to the gym.

Speaker 3:

Yes, well, I only know one set of twins.

Shawn:

We've had three or four sets of twins that have come through BC.

Speaker 3:

Well, I think I only know one of them, then I don't know I'm not paying attention, or maybe I just thought it was one person and I see them. And unless they're not standing next to each other. I don't realize that there's two of them.

Shawn:

Yeah, no, we've had a bunch of twins. But long story short, we're like, yeah, this is a great time to be in a third trimester, because you're not in the middle of the Tennessee heat.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, no, I mean, I'm miserable in the Tennessee heat with no baby in me. So props to pregnant ladies in the heat.

Shawn:

Yeah, but guess what, sam cat? But we don't have much more heat. We're in the fall season, we're in the burst. Weather is beautiful right now. I love it, love it.

Speaker 3:

I love it. I've had all my windows open with no heat, just lit my pilot light on my. I can just flip the switch now and have a nice fire. I'm here for it. Yesterday was gloomy. My mom was. It was her birthday yesterday. And she was like yeah, she was like oh, it's so gloomy. I'm like I love it. I love a gloomy day curling up reading a book. We know you don't read, we already went over that.

Shawn:

But oh, I read every night.

Speaker 3:

No, you read 10 pages of an encyclopedia in fall sleep. We're like yeah, episode one. You couldn't distinguish between fiction and fantasy, and it was.

Shawn:

Yeah. I'm gonna write in a couple shoe probably like a month or two.

Speaker 3:

Really.

Shawn:

Yeah, so listen to my audiobooks, but that's fair.

Speaker 3:

I think that that counts as reading. I was asking my one other friend is like really into books or we nerd out about them and give each other you know recommendations. I'm like, does it count if you listen to it? Audio lee. Audio lee, is that?

Shawn:

a word.

Speaker 3:

Okay, well, it is now it is now and I think that it is. I think that still constitutes is reading a book.

Shawn:

Um, I don't, no, no big audiobook guy, but I don't think it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I mean, I don't know but see you probably listen to audiobooks that are like in 1912, the like boring ass shit.

Shawn:

It's not like audio book. Right now I'm like dad stuff.

Speaker 3:

Okay, that's fair. That's a little more exciting than whatever you used to listen to yeah. I see I listen to it.

Shawn:

I don't listen yeah but I don't want to be like because I listen to Audio books when I go on a walk with Walter every day, but I don't want to be like walking Walter and it's like and this zombie went to this house and he married this, why are you so?

Speaker 3:

obsessed with zombies and vampires. That's what that's what you ladies read you understand how much more is out there. You have such a small scope like how can you sit here in, not Like you're shitting on it, but you don't?

Shawn:

know, shitting on it, you are. No, I'm saying it's not for me.

Speaker 3:

Well, vampires aren't for me either. That doesn't mean that I can't read books.

Shawn:

What about movies?

Speaker 3:

What about movies?

Shawn:

How many movies can you watch? Probably a lot, that was my segue to oh, I know what you're saying now. Okay, that was rough, but we'll go there. Yeah, we'll do it. Final four speaking of holiday and hey, listen, I segued with the cold weather. I drove us that direction.

Speaker 3:

I brought up. First of all, I brought up cold weather you brought up. You brought up. How many movies can you watch in one sitting?

Shawn:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

I? You know what I do. Like the joke, though. Or people are like oh, if someone sat down, I was like do you want to watch this eight-hour movie? They're like no, are you insane? It's like, oh, do you want to sit down and watch this entire TV series? And it's eight hours.

Shawn:

Yes, yeah, I can do that, what is the difference between the two.

Speaker 3:

I can sit down and watch two TV series all the way through people, obviously, when Netflix and everything that was streaming came out, they would just put all of their content out at once. Then you binge it in one Sunday and people are like, well, when is it coming out? Meanwhile, it took them, you know, a year to make what you did in one Sunday, right? So I feel like you and I are the perfect example of why they had to start staggering their release.

Speaker 3:

Yeah of their episodes, because you know, once you start, you can't stop.

Shawn:

That's what they say. I just watched the David Beckham documentary, which was awesome.

Speaker 3:

I've heard good reviews.

Shawn:

That was great, fantastic, but the two series that I could watch just sitting down. One Breaking Bad, the greatest show ever created on TV. That's a fact. Brian Cranston, aaron Paul so good, anybody wants to argue that I do. I do. Have you even tried?

Speaker 3:

Yes, I have. I've actually tried three separate times. The first time I couldn't get past the like whatever episode in the first season when there's a body in the Bath tub and it falls through the ceiling. I was like, yeah, this is not for me. And then you get past that and then you know what your, what your gift is. At the end of getting past dead bodies, rotting, a middle-aged white dude and tidy whiteies in the middle Of a freaking dessert.

Shawn:

It might be the greatest actor of all time.

Speaker 3:

I'm not knocking his acting. I'm just not trying to see an old dude and tidy whiteies in my free time.

Shawn:

I mean, he's only in tidy whiteies for a few minutes.

Speaker 3:

It felt like an eternity to me.

Shawn:

So if he wasn't in whitey tighties, you'd be in right now.

Speaker 3:

I don't know, I don't know cuz. I just like, I tried those two or three times and I was like this is not for me. Okay same with, like Game of Thrones, and I've ever got into that one.

Shawn:

Yeah, I only watched one season, but the second series is lost.

Speaker 3:

Never seen that one Isn't that older.

Shawn:

Older, yes, like 2000s or like 90s, 2000s.

Speaker 3:

Did you watch it when it was live, or is this something you binge now, in 2023?

Shawn:

I believe I watched a few seasons bingeed and then I was caught up and then started watching it live which was kind of cool, because you get to have something to look forward every week.

Speaker 3:

That is true. That is true. Right now I am per week watching the newest American Horror Story, which I feel like is with the time seed. That is my reaction. I watched like the first season fell off for about I don't know 10 years. Just came back to this one. It has my attention. I don't recommend you or Dre watching it because it is about a woman going through IVF in pregnancy and it's fucking weird.

Shawn:

So Connie Brins in that right.

Speaker 3:

She was. She isn't in this story. I know I love Connie, but Emma Roberts is the main character. And then the guy he's blonde and he was in Gilmore Girls I can't remember his actual name, but his name is Logan Huntsburger. In Gilmore Girls he is the lead with Emma Roberts and then Kim Kardashian is actually a Kim aide yeah, a big part of the show and she's pretty good. I do have to say her character is very sarcastic and it's not they're just like hey, kim, kind of play yourself.

Speaker 3:

I don't know that she's that brash, but I don't know her, so maybe she is.

Shawn:

Yeah, I used to love Connie Brinn when she was like the Tammy Taylor, tammy Taylor.

Speaker 3:

Coach Taylor was like my first crush.

Shawn:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a crush on Connie and Tim Riggins, riggins, everybody loves Riggins. I got a t-shirt that says Mrs Riggins. Yeah, and when I first moved to Nashville I was sitting at Pinewood Social and then I'm like, is that Connie Brinn sitting at the table next to us? And it was, and I was like Did you say something?

Speaker 3:

I didn't? No, speaking of not saying things to your celebrity crushes. Whoa, oh, we got off track.

Shawn:

Yeah, well, come on steering the ship back.

Speaker 3:

I know, but I met the love of my life last night.

Shawn:

All right, yeah, we'll get into that.

Speaker 3:

Fine, but first I'll wait Movies.

Shawn:

Final Four it's Halloween season and we're going to have a Halloween special episode, which will drop the day before Halloween, because Halloween is on the 31st, that's a Tuesday. Monday, the 30th. We'll have a fun Halloween special for you. Until then, we want to talk about our favorite Final Four Halloween slash, scary movies Top four all time. What can the people watch at home to get ready for Halloween? You go first, starting at number four.

Speaker 3:

My number four is going to be the Halloween series in general, but I specifically love the first and the last, and Jamie Lee Curtis is in all of them and she's a badass. But I think that it's just when you think Halloween, you think Jason, do you?

Shawn:

not. Yeah, you do, that's fair. Do people growing up now think that, though, even with the new ones that are terrible.

Speaker 3:

No, probably not. I think it's definitely more for older people, and by older people I mean like me, yeah, and older than me, yeah. Those still will get you, though I did learn when I was watching those. I do love scary movies, but a tips slash tricks If you are forced to watch a scary movie that you don't want to watch, you could just plug your ears. The music and the anticipation that they build up with the instruments make it so much scarier than what's actually happening. So if you're freaking out, just plug your ears and it will just be like some guy in a mask running around. Very poorly, by the way, yeah.

Shawn:

It's kind of funny. It's funny now.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Shawn:

The old ones are the best. They are. Obviously. Okay, that's a good one. I'm just going to, you know, for classic, the best everybody's probably going to have it on their list is Hocus Pocus. Yes, that is, you know. That's why I put it four. Don't want to take up my first three spots, but one that I love more than anything. It is very nostalgic. The cast was fantastic and that was just such a staple in our childhood Mine, yours and your seven. No, you're not that much younger than me. Four three.

Speaker 3:

We're good at math.

Shawn:

Yeah, but Hocus Pocus, this is the best.

Speaker 3:

That was my number three, so that's awkward because now I don't have anything to say, but I do have to say I still listen to it, watch it, and I try and not overdo it, but I feel like it's one of those things. If you have any sort of themed party to go to, you can throw that on and everybody is either entertained, not scared, but it's like good background music, also kind of a jam.

Shawn:

It's a jam. I put a spell on you. Yeah, that part is awesome. I used to have a crush, too, on just Sarah Jessica Parker, the blonde witch.

Speaker 3:

When she was dressed like a witch. Wow that says a lot about you.

Shawn:

Yeah, I dig it Okay.

Speaker 3:

Have you seen number two?

Shawn:

I haven't, don't want to, not going to Don't do it, you'll be disappointed.

Speaker 3:

Exactly. It's not good, do you?

Shawn:

think that you were going to be.

Speaker 3:

I, it was more curiosity because there was so much build up about it and I saw a couple clips that seemed funny and I'm not knocking the whole movie, but it wasn't for me.

Shawn:

Okay, number three for me. I have the original, first ever screen.

Speaker 3:

Stop, that's mine.

Shawn:

Yeah, the number one with.

Speaker 3:

Drew Barrymore yes, where she's on the phone. Yes, very opening scenes With the white Bob.

Shawn:

She's cooking popcorn on the stove.

Speaker 3:

That's mine.

Shawn:

I remember at my house in Maple Lab with my two sisters and we convinced my mom for us to purchase it on pay per view and you had to call a number and then enter the number of the movie you wanted and then enter the credit card and that's how I got to watch the movie. That was the first scary movie I watched and I was so scared that I slept in Jesse and Megan, my sister's bedroom that night on the floor.

Speaker 3:

That is a scary movie. I was terrified. That is a scary movie and I don't know, it could just be my childhood imagination running wild. But the thing about Scream that got me was that it was like someone in the neighborhood, like Jason's, like a big, bad, scary guy that had all these things. Like you know, he's a literally the boogeyman. But Scream was like anybody you know, realistic, yeah, playing off the fact like I mean, I was babysitting at that time People could break into the house and stab me if they wanted to. I think that plays on the fear much more than maybe like an imaginary character.

Shawn:

And that is what my number two is going into. My favorite scariest movie is the Strangers.

Speaker 3:

Okay, I don't think I've seen that.

Shawn:

That is scary as hell.

Speaker 3:

Is that aliens?

Shawn:

Nope, it's based on a true story, based on true events. It is with Liv Tyler and it's starts off. They are a couple engage, kind of fighting. It's at the end of the night, they just got back from a wedding, they're out at this house, kind of in the middle of nowhere, and they're both upset. I don't know whatever they're going through. That's not the important part. But then all of a sudden it's like two in the morning here and then they're like what? And then it just keeps knocking and then they open the doors just like some creepy girl standing there and they close the door and then they just keep hearing noises around the house. And then all of a sudden these people are just terrorizing them on the outside with masks creepy, creepy masks and they try to get like. They cut off the phone lines, they slit the tires, they can't leave anywhere.

Speaker 3:

Is this old?

Shawn:

Yeah, I saw in high school in theaters and like it gets nasty.

Speaker 3:

It's scary as shit. Well, I'm going to add that to my list, because I thought it was something to do with like aliens, like crop circles.

FannypackCat:

Wasn't there one that was around the time.

Speaker 3:

Yeah yeah, I can't remember the name of that one.

Shawn:

And then at the end they're like why are you doing this? And they're like because you're home.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, which is scary Literally. Yeah, that's that. I think that there's, I don't know, like the boogeyman stuff doesn't get to me as much as or anything that has to do with like religion and scary like the shining where they're, like he's possessed. That's scary. But my number one is actually I believe it's also based off a true story. I don't know how much is actually true, but the Amityville horror with.

Speaker 3:

Ryan Reynolds where they like move into a new house and then all of a sudden the dad likes is possessed by something in the house and then it's like you know, shit hits the fan and he's trying to basically kill his family and it gets wild. But I feel like that kind of stuff where it's like inexplicable. What is inexplicable Is that a word? Unexplainable, all of those words as to like why someone's behavior has changed. I just feel like that's not that far out of the realm of possibility where you could know someone one day they could suffer a mental break and then I don't know how many stories have you heard about like someone waking up and just stabbing their wife in the middle of the night.

Shawn:

That's why those are the best ones, because it makes you feel something. That's why all those other ones with zombies and vampires are bullshit.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, stop hating on books.

Shawn:

My number one maybe not as realistic as the others, equally as scary. Back in 1991, a little flick by the name of Ernest Scared Stupid.

Speaker 3:

Never heard of it, oh my gosh what do you mean? Oh my gosh, I was like no you don't know, ernest. Should I say it again no, I've never seen that person in my life.

Shawn:

Oh, my goodness, I know there's people out there right now. They're like holy crap, ernest. Let me read you the description of the movie, please do. Ernest P Warrell is working as a garbage collector in a small Missouri town. Despite the warnings of superstitious local old lady Hackmore, he accidentally unleashes devious troll Trantor, a slimy creature confined under a tree for 200 years. Trantor changes some kids into wooden dolls and turns Ernest's dog rimshot into a log. Ernest then teams up with old lady Hackmore to get rid of the beast and bring the victims back to life. Ernest was the goat and it had the scariest, scariest monsters. When you're a kid, that movie is the scariest Halloween movie there is. Ernest Scared Stupid. Check it out.

Speaker 3:

Okay, never heard of it, but it does sound awfully close to a fantasy novel, by the way.

Shawn:

Yeah, so that's where our age gap kind of breaks.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I've never. I don't even think I've heard of that, honestly.

Shawn:

Ernest Was it popular. You should be Ernest for Halloween.

Speaker 3:

I'm not going to do that. I already have my Halloween costume, are you sure?

Shawn:

you've never seen this guy before. He made so many movies.

Speaker 3:

I mean, the picture you showed me wasn't exactly flattering, so I could be wrong. And also 1991, I was like less than a year old. Okay, you keep showing me pictures of this dude. Why does he look like that in every photo? No, I don't know who that is. He has a lot of teeth. Does he have more than usual? That man is Not cute. What's going on? Yeah, all right. That's a lot about you, booth, I get it.

Shawn:

There we go. That's our final four. That's a great job Actually you know what I'm going to do right now. I'm going to call on the hotline here, Coach Rose, who is putting on a October scary movie challenge, which she does every October.

FannypackCat:

Okay.

Shawn:

She has a certain amount of movies. She puts out a calendar. You can participate if you want Probably not too late, but you get a certain amount of points for watching movies. Some movies are worth other points. Whatever, it's a whole big thing.

Speaker 3:

Like an advent calendar, but for scary movies.

Shawn:

Sure, but I'm going to get her take on her favorite Halloween.

Speaker 3:

She's a big Halloween girl.

Shawn:

Yeah, huge, okay yeah.

Speaker 3:

Isn't it weird how people are either like big Halloween or big Christmas. Yeah, poor Thanksgiving.

Shawn:

I know that's tough. That's tough. Hello, what's popping? It's showing here. You are live on In the Booth podcast, so keep that language under control. Just kidding, you can say whatever you want. Me and Sam Kat just gave our favorite for Halloween and scary movies. I was talking about your movie challenge that you do every year. Ah, okay, and we want to know what your top four scary slash Halloween movies are. Right off the cuff here.

FannypackCat:

All right, as of right now, changes, but as of right now, it's going to be Descent, okay. It's going to be Barbarian, barbarian All right. Conjuring the first one. I mean, all of them are great, but I love the classic first Conjuring.

Shawn:

Okay, the Exorcist. So that's your number one, the Exorcist. I think so.

FannypackCat:

I grew up with that one being the scariest movie for me. So all right, we didn't have any of those four, we were.

Shawn:

we were very different. Have you ever heard of Ernest?

FannypackCat:

No I don't think so.

Shawn:

Yeah, well, you're not. Yeah, I'm a little bit older than you. All right, I had a hocus pocus, the strangers Ernest, and scream, the original scream.

FannypackCat:

Oh, okay, okay, you know, that makes sense.

Shawn:

Those are like rookie league for you.

FannypackCat:

I feel like you know that's no, they're cool. I think strangers is a lot of people's scariest movie because they feel like it could happen to them.

Shawn:

Exactly.

FannypackCat:

You know, yeah. You know the movie's not bad, but it's like once the first it happens, you realize that the entire movie seems the same thing of not knowing who that person was and they could be anyone watching in the house.

Shawn:

The music is just the thrill and the suspense, and if you're listening to it with surround sound, it'll get you.

FannypackCat:

Yeah, all right.

Shawn:

Well, hey, anybody can do your challenge, even though we're halfway through the month right now. Go to we Love Scary Movies Instagram.

FannypackCat:

Yes, sir, we love scary movies.

Shawn:

And explain to us how it works.

FannypackCat:

All right. So I have two movies assigned to each day of October. You can watch one for one point or two for two points. Once the day is passed you cannot earn points for that movie. But if you can't watch a movie every day because you have a job and all that good stuff of course, of course I have a bonus point page and so you watch a certain movie off that list, you get a certain number of points. Example Barbarian, I believe, is six points this year.

Shawn:

All right, and you switch the list every year.

FannypackCat:

Yes, I do, yes, I do.

Shawn:

Is there a new movie this year? That's like the new scary movie. I know that one last year where they had that kidnapping what was that? One with the guy wearing the hat, or it kept in the basement the kid. Black phone, yeah. Black phone, yeah.

FannypackCat:

Yes, sir, that's on the list. This year it was still brand new. Last year I didn't want to make anyone pay too much. You know what I'm saying.

Shawn:

Was there a new one like that this year, though?

FannypackCat:

I think Barbarian would be the closest one.

Shawn:

All right. Well, good to know. Thanks for letting us pick your brain here on scary movies. Yeah, I'm literally on my way to BC. All right, we'll see you there. All right, bye. Yeah, that's fine. She's like hands out stickers after class. Did you get one?

Speaker 3:

No, I didn't know any of this.

Shawn:

Really.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I didn't realize she was such a big movie buff in general. I do know that she loves the I know it sounds stupid to say, but like the arts in general, she loves obscure music and obscure movies that like I've never heard Well, obscure for me, but I feel like she really you know she's saying her data on her computer. I feel like that's a funny way to say it, but she's probably right. She's the type of person I feel like has like spreadsheets of movies and music and stuff.

Shawn:

Yeah, like she's an actor. She had like acting class today and she sings. An artist, a DJ.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, she's very talented.

Shawn:

Yeah, very talented. We love Rose. There we go, hopping her movie challenge Moving on. Okay, samcat fell in love last night.

Speaker 3:

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, I've. I've already been in love, but it was like a question mark, because I feel like you can't really.

Shawn:

Wait a minute what? You mean like with Theo Vaughn?

Speaker 3:

Yes, oh my goodness, it's not real love.

Shawn:

All right, I'd take it back. I thought you might have met somebody.

Speaker 3:

Oh, no, no, no. I just finally got to see Theo Vaughn in person.

Shawn:

Okay, that changes it.

Speaker 3:

You know, like you watch someone on Instagram or you listen to their podcast and it's like I don't know if this guy's actually you could, he could be edited. I guess is what I've learned, especially living in Nashville, surrounded by a lot of influencers. A lot of them are edited. They're not like that in real life. And you know the old saying don't meet your heroes. Is that what it is?

FannypackCat:

Don't meet your heroes.

Speaker 3:

Not that Theo Vaughn is my hero by any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes I just feel like you build someone up in your head and then you meet them and it's like whomp whomp Right, I was not whomp whomping.

Speaker 3:

I laughed out loud, I was thoroughly confused but entertained the entire time. I think that he is different than any other standup comedian I've seen, because he is unpolished. You can tell that he might have something, that he like some type of script maybe, but I don't think so. I think he just gets up there and he just starts telling stories about his life and then he, like you know, they do crowd work and so the people that were sitting next to the stage he would dive in with them and just kind of do little bits off that. And then the funniest part about standup comedy to me is when someone is so quick-witted and can think on their feet where they do crowd work, and it's funny the first time, but then, as the bit goes on, they're talking about something else and if they refer back to that and it's just like they refer back to that person that they were working with.

Shawn:

Right.

Speaker 3:

I would give an example, but I feel like the O's were not very. I shouldn't share them.

Speaker 3:

But they were hysterical because it's kind of like an intimate personal joke with just the people that are in that show. So I really enjoy that because I think that is the true test of if you are funny. There's plenty of people who can get up and public speak. There's plenty of people who can tell jokes, but the way you do it and how naturally you do it, I feel like you're either funny or you're not. I don't know that you can learn to be funny.

Shawn:

Yeah, he started, I believe, doing standup and then obviously he went to the podcasting, but he is just obviously a beast of TikTok clips and reels which are hilarious, but there are a lot of people who say that they don't enjoy his standup and that he's not like a true standup comedian, as like Bill Burr Sure, one of the greatest Dave Chappelle right. But for somebody who loves Theo like we do, I'm sure everything you listened to last night. That was funny.

Speaker 3:

I could see how he would not be the favorite for the purists yes, Like the people who have had a long stretch of loving different comedians and all that stuff, I am the first person to admit I had no idea who Theo Vaughn was until like 2020. It's not like I've followed his career all these years and everything. I found him by reels and clips on Instagram, basically starting with the Joe Rogan stuff, and then people would I don't know so. Then your algorithm changes and all of a sudden Theo's popping up everywhere. Then I found out he had his own podcast and it kind of like trickled down from there. But I could see how he does not fit the bill of what people want standup comedy to be, because he's unlike anyone I've ever seen. And it was a big day for my favorite comedians because Nate Barghetti, who is my number one favorite comedian, announced that he's hosting SNL this week, which I feel like I don't even know that guy. I'm so proud of him.

Shawn:

He's a local boy. Yes, mount Juliet. Yeah, I know, I was really sad.

Speaker 3:

I was on the road when he sold out Bridgestone.

Shawn:

I was trying to get tickets.

Speaker 3:

That so bad, but I had to be in wherever I was. And then my other favorite comedian, heather McMahon, which Dre is the one who introduced me to her. She would send me reels and she'd be like this girl reminds me of you. So she had her Netflix special come out yesterday and I got to see Theo Vaughn. I was like today is a lit day for people that I love in comedy.

Shawn:

You should be a standout comedian.

Speaker 3:

I okay.

Shawn:

Let's hear it right now. You're on the mic, I'm at Zany's. Nope, I'm not doing it. Hey everybody, welcome, absolutely not.

Speaker 3:

Fanny pack cat to the stage. Absolutely not. I have joked and I have dabbled about that. I do have a rough outline of what I would do and, nope, I'm not going to do that, that's for sure, you can turn the chair over there.

Speaker 3:

Nope, I am good, thank you. Thank you so much for the warm invite, but I will go ahead and not do that. Ray is actually someone who she took a screenshot on her phone that I will be on the Zany stage for like open mic night by 2025 or something like that, and she sends me at like every six months. She's like hey, just wondering if you're working towards it, and she put it in her notes app.

Shawn:

We got two years.

Speaker 3:

She'll just send it to me and I'm like, yeah, I'm working on it. Trust me, there's still plenty of trauma and plenty of life events that are stacking up for me to be able to do that successfully.

Shawn:

But to be a comedian you have to go through some shit, some life shit. I think I don't know anybody besides Nate Bargazzi, I don't think he's been through like a crazy life. He seems like the most.

Speaker 3:

But that is exactly why I disagree with what you're saying. Yes, I think I would put myself in this category. People have gone through some shit and everybody has different defense mechanisms. Mine is always humor. It's always sarcasm. In a tense situation, I'm going to crack a joke.

Speaker 3:

I didn't choose that to be my defense mechanism, I feel like it just happened and I think that the difference between just I don't know like someone's other defense mechanism could be to be recluse, to be mean, to be whatever they want to be, but like comedians are people who take those things and then make them relatable, because a lot of other people are dealing with the same things you're dealing with or could relate to it, whether it be raising kids, whether it be have bad relationship with your parents, a great relationship with your parents, whatever it may be, the way you portray it to your audience, I think, determines whether or not you are a successful comedian.

FannypackCat:

Yes.

Speaker 3:

So I think that you don't have to go through some shit. You just have to be able to articulate your shit to make it relatable to other people.

Shawn:

Yeah, it's all about being relatable.

Speaker 3:

A silver spoon in your mouth, born living a royal family and have absolutely no any trauma in your life, and you could still be a comedian. But that goes back to what I'm saying. It's like I think you're either funny or you're not. I don't think you learn how to be funny.

Shawn:

I agree, yeah, greatest comedian of all time, chris Farley.

Speaker 3:

Aw yeah, he was the goat, I just said it, but he was again.

Shawn:

That was guy who was fucked up and he went through a lot of shit.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and he had a lot of internal demons.

Speaker 3:

I, you know, one thing I don't really keep, in common with comedians that I've known, and me and Nate Bargatzi, I guess, and a few others is drugs. I don't do hard drugs, but that is like apparently rampant in the comedy world. I mean, yes, when you say it out loud it's like duh Sammy, how did you not know that? But I guess I just never. I don't know. I always thought like musicians were the ones doing the hard drugs. But I'm also new to the comedy scene. I would never go out of my way to say that I know a bunch of comedians and all the stuff. Like I'm just starting to dabble.

Shawn:

Yeah Well, we got two years to get you up on that stage. Until then, we'll try and get on a stage for a live show. Maybe we'll start there, I don't know, Zany's maybe one day.

Speaker 3:

Hey, you never know.

Shawn:

We'll keep growing, we'll keep doing our thing and we'll be up there.

Speaker 3:

I did host Kelsey's birthday party on Sunday. I was the emcee and that was my first live hosting gig in a while and I was like, wow, I forgot what it's like for people to just be staring at you with a microphone at your hand. Yeah, I hadn't done that since like 2016.

Shawn:

You do it every week.

Speaker 3:

No, nobody's looking at me.

Shawn:

Cameras are looking at me. You're watching me on YouTube right now.

Speaker 3:

See, but that's just way less intimidating. I think, yes, these lights and cameras can be intimidating, but it's not an instant reaction from someone when you're up on the stage with a mic. It's seeing their face and if you're flopping you know. Yeah, here I get to just like wait a week to see if I flop. Yeah.

Shawn:

That's like when I did after the final rose for the Bachelorette and there was 10 plus million people watching live live.

Speaker 3:

They do that live really. It's not even a camera magic. There's no delay.

Shawn:

Probably like a 10 second delay.

Speaker 3:

What if you stood up and said whatever and was like way, not TV.

Shawn:

They would probably. It's probably like a 10. It's live, it's crazy and looking back at it, it's just like well, whatever I just did it like was I nervous, yeah, but I was excited and but when you like now that years have passed, I'm like 10 million people were watching me just on a stage, just sitting there on the couch.

Speaker 3:

And that's so weird too, because you were just being like vulnerable and emotional.

Shawn:

So weird and like deep.

Shawn:

That's why people want to know your business and they were still trying to like cause and stir drama. Of course we were staying at a house before we had to go on stage and the producers came over and they gave us, like she brought this cake. She was trying to be super nice. I'm like, what is she trying to do? And they were like, oh, this is going to be your big moment. Oh, by the way, so and so is going to be on the couch sitting with you, like just trying to stir the pot. I'm like just stop. Can we stop already?

FannypackCat:

Don't bring me a cake bitch.

Shawn:

Don't bring me a cake. Yeah, I was like, I was so mad. I was like why do we got to do this?

Speaker 3:

That I mean. I would love I'm it might be out there, so maybe I shouldn't even say this out loud, I should do some more research. But I would love to sit down and someone who's been a producer on that show for you know, 25 years, however long it's been around, the mental and emotional experiment that that show is I would love to just like hear stories from their side, because you hear from the contestants here and there, but I haven't heard from a producer. They probably are not allowed to. They'll probably get taken out back in shot or something.

Shawn:

But yeah, I remember they wouldn't let me watch either, so it was like watch what. Watch the show. I was going to be backstage but I wasn't allowed to watch what was going on, so you know oh, you just walk in there like, hey, I'm here.

Shawn:

Yeah, so, like other guys were up there on stage with her and she was on stage but they wouldn't let me watch, and I was like I'm going to watch and I went to the bathroom and I called my sister, megan, and she was FaceTime me or whatever, so I could watch.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, good.

Shawn:

I'm just like get out of here, but what is?

Speaker 3:

they're just trying to set you up for failure.

Shawn:

Yeah, they're just trying to set you up to create drama.

Speaker 3:

It's live or for you to look dumb, exactly. And.

Shawn:

I was so past it at that point too.

Speaker 3:

You were already over it.

Shawn:

Yeah, the crazy thing is too. Like right before that we had to go to Jimmy Kimmel live and this was before it was announced to one, so nobody in the world knew who won. But I'll never get it. I got picked up in the car and I had to go into the parking lot where Jimmy Kimmel was recorded. So the you do the recording and then it airs after the live show and there was just hundreds of paparazzi out there and before I got out of the car with Caitlin, they put blankets on top of me and they had like four or five dudes with umbrellas.

Speaker 3:

So you couldn't, you were obstructed.

Shawn:

And so I had to walk down this alley and walk from the parking lot into this like backdoor and it's just people taking pictures Trying to guess who you were Trying to figure out who it was a couple hours prior to the show? What?

FannypackCat:

I know and everyone's like and it was hilarious.

Shawn:

I remember laughing on there because everyone's like Nick, nick, nick. They all thought it was Nick who won and I was just like walking underneath this blanket so couldn't see where I was going and people were just guiding me through this massive. It was the weirdest thing ever.

Speaker 3:

You have lived a weird life.

Shawn:

That was weird.

Speaker 3:

That is okay.

Shawn:

And I think we're in what happens.

Speaker 3:

Okay, so what would happen if that secret was blown? Like what if you just lifted your head up and you're like surprise motherfuckers? It's me Like what would happen.

Shawn:

Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3:

I mean it was only you would have been sued.

Shawn:

There's only a few hours. Yeah, they probably would have put it out to the news instantly. It would have been on social media, damn. But I'll never forget, after we did that show, did Jimmy Kimmel? They brought us to airport so then we could fly overnight. So the next morning we had to be in New York City to go on Good Morning America and there was this girl and they brought us through like backdoors of the airport, like all these, like I mean we were what are you?

Speaker 3:

the president of the United States?

Shawn:

It felt like it was wild and we were about to get on the plane. She's like I literally told my husband to DVR this, cause I and I didn't want anybody to tell me who won, cause I wanted to watch tonight. I was like surprise.

Speaker 3:

Sorry. Sorry we messed this up royally.

Shawn:

Yeah, that's hilarious. I'll never forget that girl.

Speaker 3:

That girl still talks about that.

Shawn:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

That was the last time she watched the bachelor, actually.

Shawn:

She was like forget this show. Yeah, Crazy times.

Speaker 3:

Talk about a spoiler alert.

Shawn:

Spoiler.

Speaker 3:

You know. Proud of you. That's cool. You survived that. Now we're here.

Shawn:

We'll, we'll dress up for the Halloween special. Okay, what do we?

Speaker 3:

want to do. Are we doing a pair, a couple of pairs, yeah, or are we doing like a theme?

Shawn:

We'll have. We're going to call out for the help of you guys listening right now. What do you want to see Sam Kat and I dressed up for for our first ever Halloween special? Make it good, guys.

Speaker 3:

Make it good.

Shawn:

Let's put all the comments. We'll turn this into a reel right now and whatever you think we should dress up as we'll pick the best one.

Speaker 3:

I, I love it.

Shawn:

You have any ideas?

Speaker 3:

I have plenty of ideas. I actually thoroughly enjoy costume parties, not just for Halloween.

Shawn:

You're a big, you're just a big holiday girl.

Speaker 3:

Uh, just, I mean, sure, yeah, I like I feel like holidays give you something to look forward to. I also think that I have a different outlook on holidays because I have a great relationship with my family and I know that as I've gotten older I've learned that people kind of don't enjoy holidays Because they didn't have a good time growing up and or something has happened since then, so like I understand that now right.

Speaker 3:

When I was younger it was just kind of naive. I thought everybody loved those things. But I just think that it gives you. Everybody can celebrate holidays. You don't have to be any specific type of person, have any type of job, any sort of level of income. Everybody can celebrate a holiday, even if it's fake. I think it just gives you I don't know something to look forward to. I like having things on the calendar to look forward to. I think it keeps life interesting and I like to go big.

Shawn:

You do.

Speaker 3:

Why not?

Shawn:

Yeah, yeah, a lot of life is looking forward to things.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Keep things interesting, yeah, and then just living in the moment, like there's nothing more fun than to look around at your friends or your family, like I was looking at this party bus with all my family and a few of our friends from Nashville. We looked like idiots. We were having so much fun. Right, my cousin and his girlfriend were like a Kmart photo shoot, like you know 90s, where you had like big bangs and those gaudy glasses and weird. My one aunt and uncle were chicken and the egg who came first, but don't boom, their kids really loved that. You know, kelsey was a pickle. She was dressed as a big pickle.

Speaker 3:

So, it was. Just nobody had a theme, but it was. Everybody showed up, Everybody showed out and it was. It's just fun. It's fun to be goofy, it's fun to let your hair down and not take life so seriously. I feel like everything is. Did you get up? Did you ice bath? Did you do this? Did you walk? Did you do like? Oh, you're not doing anything for your health. Guess what? Sometimes, dressing up in a costume and slamming Mickel O'Volchers with my dad is good for my health.

Shawn:

Was everybody like what are you guys doing? Why are you all dressed up? Were you the only people dressed up on Broadway besides batch rep parties?

Speaker 3:

We were 100% the only people dressed up. Nobody was confused. I think everybody checked the calendar and was like, huh, okay.

Shawn:

Well, it's also funny because it's just Broadway, so nobody asks.

Speaker 3:

Sure, any questions. I mean, we went there on Monday to wrap up my five day weekend. We went out to Honky Talk, central buddy when were you? I?

Shawn:

didn't get an invite, I knew you weren't going to come.

Speaker 3:

So I didn't invite you, but there was. There were costumes of just, I'm pretty sure, people who just dress like that every day. I don't think they were costumes, maybe, and they were out Monday afternoon, so anything goes on Broadway.

Shawn:

Well, I'm triggered that your parents were dressed up as a nun and a priest. I'm sure no a pregnant nun.

Speaker 3:

A pregnant nun.

Shawn:

And a priest, and then my gay, my cousins, my cousins that were the Pope and the Cardinal are gay.

Speaker 3:

They're married and this girl that was drunk came up to them at the bar and saw him dressed as a Pope and I don't know if she was just so drunk she thought he was someone who was actually religious. And he walks up to her, she goes what do you think of the gays? And he goes my husband is the Cardinal. That was the first answer he gave her and I was like we are going to jail in this Southern belt of America. I was like, okay, but all good fun.

Shawn:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And I was like if you're triggered.

Shawn:

I don't give a fuck, damn, put that on t-shirt. I was out on Broadway this weekend too, for Bailey's birthday. Oh yes, that was the same night. That was the same night. I'm surprised you didn't see us, you were at 1230.

FannypackCat:

Club.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's a bougie you guys did the exact opposite of what we did. We did you went nice and dressed up in 1230. We went broken down bus and some costumes, I wouldn't say dressed up.

Shawn:

I wore jeans and boots and a t-shirt.

Speaker 3:

She looked nice, but it's her party. That's her birthday.

Shawn:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I did opposite and it was late.

Shawn:

I was like Bailey, I love you, I love you. I'm not gonna be there for your birthday, but you're asking me to go there and starts at nine o'clock on a Friday night Damn.

Speaker 3:

Oh, come on. You ain't as good as you once was, but you're as good once as he ever was.

Shawn:

It's the bright.

Speaker 3:

And it's not like you got to do that every weekend.

Shawn:

No, it was fun, and then it started raining on the rooftop.

Speaker 3:

Oh shit, I was wearing a fro, though, so I was good.

Shawn:

Yeah, how was that wake up?

Speaker 3:

I was fine.

Shawn:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

The only time I was misbehaved was Sunday night when I drank 102. I don't even know how many. I had old fashions, those just get me. But I woke up Monday and I did feel fine, which was, I don't know definitely better than I deserved. Maybe it was just because I stuck with the same thing the whole night, but I popped right back up and I was like all right.

Shawn:

Ready to rock and roll?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, now I'm dragging though.

Shawn:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Let me get you out of there, struggling you work out yet today.

Shawn:

Yeah, you going to work out.

Speaker 3:

No, no, I canceled my 730 because I said you know what, not today. The Lord said no, so I said okay, tomorrow we'll be another workout, I'll be there 730.

Shawn:

All right, she come for a run with us.

Speaker 3:

I will never do that, john, never Like. I woke up this morning at like 550 to get water and Bailey was already out the door on the trails and I'm like no, yeah, I'm not a pastor, no, it's just not for me. That sounds miserable. It's dark out, it's cold and you want me to run there. Better be someone chasing me with a knife.

Shawn:

Yeah, this morning was cold.

Speaker 3:

I was like yeah, but don't you love that? I love that. Yeah, you love cold weather. I mean, I do too. But you love it for physical activity. I love it, just to cozy up.

Shawn:

Yeah, I was like low 40s.

Speaker 3:

Ooh, that's a little too much.

Shawn:

Just wearing a T-shirt.

Speaker 3:

Do you think you've gotten more adjusted to the warm weather and you're like a little more of a baby when it comes to cold weather?

Shawn:

Well, now that I've been doing the ice bath for a while, I feel like I'm kind of, you know, conditioning my body for the cold weather.

Speaker 3:

Okay, I don't know that that's real, but okay.

Shawn:

Yeah, but I'm gonna, like I said, move to Alaska one day and race in the Iditarod. So I'm trying to prep my body and my mind and soul and Walter Okay let me know how that goes.

Speaker 3:

We'll check in a quarter past. Never on that one, but I remember when I was in college I used to leave practice which gymnastics is Liotard so not a lot of clothing with ice bags like wrapped to my body to get to class and I'd walk with like a Letterman jacket, spandex shorts and a Liotard with like Ugg boots in snow.

Shawn:

Boots with the fur.

Speaker 3:

Now it drops below 50 and I'm like ooh.

Shawn:

Yeah, I got some old bones now.
