It's the Boojee Blonde podcast with Melissa and Simone, Available on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcast. Now let's get Boojee.
Speaker 2:Welcome to the Boojee Blonde podcast with your co-host, Simone Gross. I'm Melissa Clark and on this week's episode we're chatting a little bit about Halloween, as it was obviously Halloween this week Halloween throwbacks do we rate it or hate it? We also chatted a little bit about friends and the loss of Matthew Perry and how important it is to have amazing friends in our lives.
Speaker 1:And we're chatting a little bit about worst couple gift ideas. So really hope you enjoy this episode. Good morning, good afternoon. I apologize to everyone. I actually sound so bad so I feel like I sound like snot.
Speaker 2:No, you actually don't. To be fair, you sound a lot better than what you did when you sent me the voice on the other day. I did. Yeah, I feel like every second or third week, either one of us has an illness.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just the weather. I think it was this literally manic week like crazy, crazy shit going on. You know, when you're sick, you have to push through, you have to just keep going, and then you just make yourself.
Speaker 2:It's a nightmare, and especially like being in this industry, where you have events and you have a job on the side and then you have content and you're constantly go, go, go go. I feel like you just never get time to just unwind and chill out. There's always something.
Speaker 1:I got absolutely soaked on Sunday up at Keith's Marathon. I think that's maybe worse.
Speaker 2:Oh yes, congratulations, Keith. What an accomplishment Did. You have a great day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I think he did after 142 kilometres. Yeah, absolutely defeated, I bet yeah, but he did unreal. He did like sub three 30s, so it was unreal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know how people do it.
Speaker 1:I think I die. I honestly just don't. It gives me anxiety looking at him doing that.
Speaker 2:I can't hold you much. I'm like no, not a chance.
Speaker 1:No, a chance. No, some lad actually ran it in his bare feet. Go away now, start to go. Yeah, mad, isn't it? Why would you do that to yourself, I don't know. And then seeing some lad run it in a fire, a full fireman costume for charity.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, yeah, maybe it was for charity, but like that would be the source thing ever in your bare feet, like I think the rain in the rain, it was pace and rain, like yeah, no, it was, I just got soaked, so that obviously didn't help the situation. You know, and I was wearing one of those big, you know, like those big, like heavy, kind of fluffy coats and like it was just like a wet blanket, like literally was walking around like a wet blanket, Like my God.
Speaker 2:Melissa, so I wasn't good. I'm sure what they say like it definitely is like the rain and stuff like that. I know some people say that it's like a myth, but when you get saturated in that cold dump, whether, like, you're just in for a week of illness, aren't you?
Speaker 1:I think some people are brand and some people is just like just get everything. Yes, how was your week?
Speaker 2:My week. Do you know what Girls, guys, whoever is listening, the weather here I'm perished like freezing. I'm going to die when I come home. So the temperature is really after dropping and it's so cold. But we had an amazing week. Obviously busy work, events extra, but my friends and family were over. Mark's parents came over and his mom, yeah, and it's. It's true it was very emotional because we're obviously only here for a week and the week flies by, but it was like oh, so good to have them over. It's just a little bit of home, a welcome home, you know that kind of way, a little bit of cosy vibes, yeah, and it's making me like extremely excited to get home.
Speaker 1:And then that like I know I can't wait.
Speaker 2:I know I can't wait to just squeeze. Yeah, I'm never going to let you go.
Speaker 1:So while I was driving to Dublin I was literally having a manic attack, as I normally do. I was rushing but then I got a taut. I was like, what is the worst places to live in Ireland? So I went and did some research. Ok, so can you guess what the worst place to live in Ireland is? I'll just I'll do a countdown. So we have 10 of the worst places to live in Ireland. I was afraid I was going to see Carlo on this, so use my way if it's on or not, Right? So number 10, we have Moth in County West Mead, which is one of the worst places to live apparently. Where is that? I don't know? Obviously that, like it just says it's one of the most oppressing towns. Oh my gosh. If anyone lives in any of these, let's know. Number nine Carrick and Shore and County Tip. So it says. It says Carrick and Shore and Tip are high on the drugs.
Speaker 2:I'm not even going to make a comment here.
Speaker 1:The next one I have to agree with because I worked here before and I swear to God if I didn't want to jump into the river after working here. Bunklody, in County Wexford I'm sorry anyone that's from Wexford, but Beck and Hell is so depressing. It's just one of those towns where it just oh God, it says, it says Low immigration and stacks of empty houses, so it makes one of the worst places to live in Ireland. Have you ever been to Bunklody? No, I haven't actually. Well, I wouldn't advise it. It's not in a while there. I remember years ago in Bunklody, though it used to be the place to be, these have these open air concerts and stuff. Everyone used to go there to get fish and chips and things like that and listen to music.
Speaker 2:Fish and chips.
Speaker 1:I was only seven. It was like when my parents were like it was like the boom time back then. Oh, here's another one A boom time for fish and chips, Fish and chips back in the boom Fish and chips back in the boom. Stop it, you're going to make me cough Right. Next one Clomber and county tip. A lovely town with a big problem is the scratch phrase.
Speaker 2:A lovely town with a big problem, my God.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so apparently it has doesn't have a great reputation for drugs. What's with everyone in tip lads? Apparently, it's all of a drug problem.
Speaker 2:They give us a loan. You Ha ha ha.
Speaker 1:Okay, now I have to agree with this Number six a tie in County Kildare.
Speaker 2:Oh, melissa, that gives me anxiety, because the train, the train, yeah, I always have to pass there when I was going up to Benson, dublin, and like, oh, I don't know, they all seem lovely. Like I don't know, I don't know. You know what it is, though, for me, like every town, every city, no matter where you go in the world, there's always going to be a group where a handful of people that let the place down with a bang, and it's just everywhere you go, you know. So I hate the way as well. Like that's right, is that way? What do you think on that? Well, I think, I think it's a good idea to have a group of people that are going to be in the city and they're going to be in the city but I don't know.
Speaker 1:I just think people in the tight think they can be everyone. Do you know what I mean? So I just give them that reputation like to bring on themselves. Do you know what I mean? Especially when you're younger? Do you know what I mean? I think they have this reputation of trying to be hearty, you know Sorry.
Speaker 2:I know what I'm trying to say Just because it's so close to Karlow.
Speaker 1:is that like? Do you know, Right, Limerick? I'm not really surprised about Limerick, because it has a reputation of being a bit rough, doesn't it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's also pretty fair. I don't think I know anyone coming up to me no.
Speaker 1:I know a few people from Limerick. They're sound. In fairness, limerick people are sound. Number four Port Arlington. Oh yeah, I can see why you lad that on the list. I can see why. I can see why. No comment, I just won't even go into it. Number three Greenard in County Longford. Did Longford give Ode like one of the worst places to live as?
Speaker 2:well, yeah, I think so. I did hear that a while ago, and there are more he can do, yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, she is. Yeah, Number two, Drotta County, Loud, no, and number one we have North Inner City County, Dublin, Surrey, Dobs worst places to live.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, it's actually mad though, isn't it? Yeah, when you actually think about it, ireland is not as rough as many other places in the world, to be fair.
Speaker 1:No, it's not.
Speaker 2:It's not. We love you all, but we're just going by what Google says.
Speaker 1:Yeah, do you know what I mean? We're just calling now, what we see Literally.
Speaker 2:So don't come out of something like oh, did you hear them on that podcast, on about Airtown, on about the local?
Speaker 1:Place to live in Ireland. According to this, google duckting, google duckting, google duckting I can't think my brain Google duckting, I can't think my brain Just breathe. Melissa and Simone are here to listen. So for this week's juicy jammy dodgers dilemma, we have a very interesting one. So, hi, simone.
Speaker 2:You and Melissa have me in the stitches. Your gas out, look for a bit of a voice. Not sure if you get many lads sending in dilemmas. Anyway, been tends to jam with a group of lads there a few weeks ago and I honestly think I found a love for my life there. And brackets, not in the red light, just sure, is it a nick To a woman If a man is very full on after knowing them only four days? Not sure if I should tell her how I feel or not, as I'm living in Ireland and she's in the UK, so a bit of a long distance. If you get me, what's your thoughts? I don't know. I'm just laughing at the fact that it's in brackets, not in the red light.
Speaker 1:Just sure. I don't know, I think, is if a bit too full on after four days and is all over you, I think it give me the ick.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think you need to just play a call. I know sometimes, like then, I was like what were you taking, like a love spell or something?
Speaker 1:I think after four days after meeting someone, if a man was like love, bombing me, yeah, I don't know I'd nearly see it as a red flag. I don't know. That's just me, though. I trust issues.
Speaker 2:I'm 100% the same. I think it definitely need to give a time. I know Sometimes I think maybe long distance is a bit better when you're first start to meet somebody.
Speaker 1:Oh, I agree, I think it is because it kind of give you your own time as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, and plus the fact like it, just you know if you're talking to each other and on the phone and stuff like that, and then you learn how to like have trust in each other, if that makes sense. Yeah, you're so far away.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I'm being honest To this guy. I don't feel you. I know it's hard sometimes when you're like not in the same country as somebody and he probably did really fall for you know they're probably getting on really well and whatever. But I think sometimes when you're too full on with a woman, they just tend to run the other way. Give it some like time, I think, before like fly back and forth to each other like I know what Ryan air you can get flights for 20 euros.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'd sort it out for a bit, like you know. I mean you could go over now and see her in the UK and actually Not like at all. When you meet someone, like at the start, it can always, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2:It's like the start, is like the honeymoon phase.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think like you're so infatuated sometimes you forget you don't see people's flaws. And when you see someone in their natural, natural habitat, you get to see like the cracks.
Speaker 2:Definitely because you're not like, think about when you're like talking to people on the phone or messages and stuff like that, you don't really know what I'm fully like.
Speaker 1:No, I don't give me. The advice is play a bit cool and don't come across like yeah, needy, we don't want to needy man, you know some girls do.
Speaker 2:It's not me, but some girls definitely do a little bit.
Speaker 1:Like you want to be, like appreciated, and like I don't know. There's a difference in neediness. Don't like, like, do you know? Like someone, just like creeping around you.
Speaker 2:Melissa's like I'm done with it. Now I'm married and set. Leave me alone.
Speaker 1:Even if I think about single or just I don't know, just the neediness would give me the egg, you know.
Speaker 2:No, it's definitely a trust issues thing, though, I think with girls, like even for me being single and stuff like that. Like I think, because I've been single for so long now I just love my own space and my own time and then when somebody comes along, I can just see through them straight away and like don't waste my time.
Speaker 1:Yeah like I'm happy and quite content for myself, but Felicia, I know best luck with your one anyway, and just play cool and don't come across like a needy little boy.
Speaker 2:And hopefully in the next year or so, we get the message back of the fact that they're actually settled in there together. Like I wish you the best luck. To be honest, like I hope it does work out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, really true love story. Who knows, you want to judge. So our topic of the week we are going to chat because it's Christmas season. We're allowed to talk about now, because it is November Worst couple gift ideas that you can get for one another. Is there any? Have you ever got like a present, someone that you hate of, like boyfriend? Yeah, yeah, what is a spill? It spill the tea.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I feel like sometimes people don't like Understand you properly and they buy like the most silly, it's ridiculous things for you. If that makes sense, like I appreciate everything I get, so I can't say I hate, ever hated a gift. If that makes sense. But I feel like it needs like taught and especially like a Christmas or your birthday or something like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you like a talk?
Speaker 2:Yeah, like Somebody bought me a guitar for Christmas once and I was like, like I love music, don't get me wrong, but I'm not going to.
Speaker 1:And have you ever played any like?
Speaker 2:No, I play piano Like it was, like it was just random, yeah, very random, like random, like I can't say I hate it, but I was just like, oh, okay, to get me like I don't understand it, but like I didn't hate it, like I'll be stable.
Speaker 1:I forgot you. Yeah, I feel like I'm going to get divorced after this when I say this right so, oh God, right so far. My wedding day, keith. You know they usually like the like obviously your partner is meant to like obviously give you a present. Well, when Keith gave me mine, like obviously sent it up, I looked at it and I was like what the fuck is this? So he basically got a picture Now I know you're going to give out to me because you're like that's so tough, but it was a picture of our first ever picture together. He got like in a frame and give it to me, but, like, I was like no, that is so nice.
Speaker 2:You're such an asshole. I was like.
Speaker 1:I was like I was like I just want a present, like I wanted like a present. I mean I was like oh, thanks.
Speaker 2:Melissa, oh my God, I think that I was the I'm so sentimental, Like and stuff like that. You're just like you're the next level you were.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's lovely. Like why would I want to look at a picture of me like when I was like, you know, when you're in your minger phase, like I was, like oh great.
Speaker 2:I look lovely and I was like look at all these years that we've been together and now this is where we are. I was like look up to school on her.
Speaker 1:Like a nice second night, you know, like Louis Vuitton bag or something I was like oh great.
Speaker 2:Oh she a material girl. This one is the girl.
Speaker 1:I want to get dogged out, but at least I'm an honest like you know what I mean. Anyway, hopefully doesn't listen to this episode, so apologies. So these are some of the worst gift ideas that people have got. Okay, a mop.
Speaker 2:But like if someone gave me a mop, I would mop it off their head. That's what I would do.
Speaker 1:Why would you want to mop as a gift? I'd be insulted if I got a mop as a gift, especially off. Like my partner, I'm like you, like me to clean the house. No Next on a Hoover. Now I have to say a lot of women go mad for the hoovers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I put my hands up and say that I like I think you get to an age in your life and you're, like, I need to know I have a hoover obsession, like I have to like Hoover every day, like, but it's really annoying because I have white oils.
Speaker 1:So if you don't Hoover, it just looks dirty. Everton shows yeah, If you do any Hoover it just looks dirty. It's just, it's actually so. Anyone never get white tiles in your house.
Speaker 1:When I do when I I'm doing up my house, my new house, I'm never getting white tiles again. Ever, ever, ever, third Nightmare. So I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like I'm like I'm not getting white tiles again, ever, ever, ever, third Nightmare. Yeah, so that was a Hoover, a Toiletsy. Who the fuck will get someone to fucking?
Speaker 2:toiletsy. Like no way. Like what Air freshener Basically say in you're a dirty bitch Like someone.
Speaker 1:Boys in air freshener Like don't get me wrong, I've seen people get people air fresheners off with their cars.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's like to be honest with you, like I love you. Know, when someone gets you like a hamper with like candles and like, yeah, okay, fair enough, it's not that bad to be fair. But then again I don't know.
Speaker 1:Someone got a bag of rice. What's the context behind it? Like, why, like, why would someone get your bag of I Don't know tea bags? I Can see it up in an Irish tingle.
Speaker 2:I think that's a blackout and think, to be honest, because I'm after don't like putting like a tea bag into like people's birthday cards and all.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can see people actually giving tea bags as like Christmas presents. Like a box of tea bags, I'm fair enough.
Speaker 2:I actually in a hamper or something like a box of lion.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you wouldn't just wrap up the box of tea bags. I'll give it some legit.
Speaker 2:No way you couldn't do that, like you'd have to put it in like a hamper or something.
Speaker 1:Imagine getting hamper. Imagine like Windscreen wipers. Like, unless they knew that you're, that you were like looking for them, would you randomly go and say I'm gonna buy some on windscreen wipers for my car.
Speaker 2:Like, I'm just like. So some people make these up though, seriously like because Like there's no way someone would have a stupid mind.
Speaker 1:Like that there's a clear lot of stingy people, though. Like, isn't there Like?
Speaker 2:I say there's, you know, like when I was like working and stuff like that, and you do like secret Santa yeah and like there's always like that one person that you're like why did they get me for secret Santa? Like why? And it's always that one person that you're like. And everyone is always in the same boat. Like everyone thinks the exact same boat, so like it's a total of, that counts.
Speaker 1:So Obviously right, it is taught accounts. Well, I can't really talk because I'm like, but if someone got me now a mop or a toilet seat, I'd be like. I'd be so confused, like, whatever about an air freshener for my car? I'd be like, oh grand, I'll have a nice smelling car. But like, like what? Here's another one like energy tablets. So I presume that means like Baraka boost or some like. Imagine someone, honey, a Baraka boost for a Christmas present.
Speaker 2:Could be run down. They could come in very handy, but I could do with some.
Speaker 1:Baraka boost. Be self-sacred today, but A painted stone. What the fuck? Like A painted stone? Yeah, so like, obviously like a stone that someone just painted themselves, or would the the buy it painted, I don't know?
Speaker 2:Oh my god, no, that was ridiculous. Like there's just only like a nail clippers as well. Like, come off it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, tin opener like imagine going to home store more and he's walking around like, oh, there's a tin opener, I'll buy that for a fucking Simone, like For a Christmas present.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're like, I know I know so, for the best gift ideas that is suggested to receive by couples are. So, simone, you can say yes or no. If you agree to this right number one, clothing. I disagree. I disagree with clothing as well, because I just like to pick out my own shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like gives me a voucher of money so I can go off and do it myself. I hate people buying me clothes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, same, I like to pick my own number two shoes. Yeah, yeah, I think I'd accept shoes, but they'd have to know me. Well, you know, I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I must put my hand up and say it. My father has like the best shoe sense, really runners. Yeah, I swear he has like a ting what runners and every Christmas he just gets me like the best runners. I'm like I absolutely love your man, but like I do love someone buying. I feel like I'm a very sure person, so people know what kind of shows to get me put. Then again, people probably hate it as well. Yeah, what would you think?
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I'd like someone to buy me shoes. I think, yeah, I would, but like obviously someone now that knows me well has good style. Good style, okay, number three music. So I presume by music the mean like, maybe, like concert tickets maybe, or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think I do like the whole idea of music because I feel like it's very like sentimental and somebody knows you very well to have that. Yeah, like, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and as well if you're doing as like a thing or the two years ago, it's a nice, like weekend away or no. Number four ring I love getting jewelry.
Speaker 2:Because there's something that you have forever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, number five a watch. Number six underwear. Okay, no, don't buy me underwear like that. No, don't do that weird. I think it's a no number. Seven socks no.
Speaker 2:I always get socks for Christmas.
Speaker 1:I love getting socks as presents like I like. No, I mean like nice pairs of socks like you know, like the nice like night Gary Buck ones, like I love socks like.
Speaker 2:I love like no, I'm like a Christmas time when you get like loads of fluffy socks and loads of fluffy PJs and you just snuggle off them.
Speaker 1:Then you're like yeah, yeah, I love fluffy socks, I just yeah, they're so cute. And number number eight necklace, number nine diamonds and number ten earrings. So jewelry seems to be like a big one, big one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I love jewelry, though it's genuinely do. Look, yeah, I need to stop even buying this for myself. So if they say, try to skin that a hand, like there's just no need.
Speaker 1:I thought it's um, it's mad how we just go straight into Christmas now, like this Halloween is obviously Just finished.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I absolutely like people are probably gonna come at me, but I really don't like Halloween. It's not my season. I'm a Christmas style. I'll always be a Christmas guy at home. Yeah, I'll maybe dress up and stuff like that. Here, like looked amazing, everyone went to like events and stuff like that. I was drained from work because I just had the busiest week. I was like I'm not even going, but I don't know, melissa, what's your thoughts on Halloween? Do you write it to you? Hey, it's because it just is not for me. I hate.
Speaker 1:I think like I don't know, yeah, like I just think Halloween to just met it. So Like people don't fucking dress up anymore, I'm gonna say it's right. Like people are just like we're gonna couple copy, like fucking Justin Bieber, like dress like that, like just there's no Scariness. Yeah isn't it? It's just gone. So like Basic, basic.
Speaker 2:I don't know, it's just, it's not even for me. Is I like? Even growing up, I always hated it because I am those that don't know me that well, I am the biggest shit on the planet. Freaks me out. Hey, anything scary, spooky not for me. Don't watch ours or whatever. Like you said, melissa, like people are just kind of dressing up to like I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah it's just pretty basic.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like in. Some costumes are cool. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I Comment on people's Halloween outfits at all, but it's just I don't know. I just think it's a pointless day.
Speaker 1:Hmm, In Halloween are you saying, now in America are we cool?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I don't know. I just like a lot of Easter has a point you can eat all the chocolate you want. Yeah, halloween, you can eat sweets and stuff, but I don't see the pot. I don't. People are probably going to be like you're weirdos.
Speaker 1:It's meant to be like the oh. I don't know there is like a history behind it of I don't know like I haven't think right now what there is I know. So, speaking of obviously Halloween and spookiness and scariness, I was actually shocked about Matthew Perry from Friends like what.
Speaker 2:I know, you know what it's actually so heartbreaking. I'm actually, after getting shippers down my arms, Like it's. I think it's one of those things you know when you grow up, watching like Friends, like obviously it was there before I was even born, but like I wasn't, was I. Yeah, it only kind of came out. It came out in 98s a bit.
Speaker 1:Early 90s. No, what's that? I don't know. Maybe, no, maybe it was 90s, yet I just feel like I've always grown up.
Speaker 2:It reminds me of like my uncle and like just being surrounded by my family and stuff like that was always on the telly. So I grew up watching it and I don't know about you or Melissa, but like it's just a comfort, like thing to watch.
Speaker 1:Right, it just never gets old. It's timeless, like everything's relatable. 1994 is when it was released, september 22nd 1994. But do you see all the conspiracy theories like, obviously, instagram posts, day of fun? Yeah, it's weird, all the Batman stuff.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:It is.
Speaker 2:it's quite scary, though it's quite sad. Obviously, we don't know the whole truth about it, but like from people the outside looking at it, and like I, just I just feel like that you really need to like just sit back and just soak everything in sometimes and realize how grateful you need to be about your friends and who you surround yourself with because, like you can wake up in the morning and you know a loved one or someone close to you could be gone.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I think sometimes we just I don't know, like I said, we take things for granted, like we just look at materialistic things or, like you know, it's always nice to obviously go see the world and do stuff like I'm living away from home, but I think when, like, someone dies and even looking at that is like brings you back down to earth a little bit, yeah, like you realize that you know life is so short, like actually, it's an end of an year and a like a friend's will never be reunited.
Speaker 1:Like it's really sad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that's the thing Like, and it's like don't, when you listen I don't know about you, melissa, but when you listen to your parents or your grandparents like on about like their friend passing away or you know, we don't really have that right now because we're so young. So I thought God, but like you get to that age and you're just like, you know, people are just passing by and passing off and life moves on and it still has to move on. I think that's what makes it so sad. I just feel like, oh, I don't know if I can ever like I watch friends the whole time and now I'm like I don't think I can even watch it again. I feel like if I watch it and just going to start crying, I won't even laugh anymore. And he's so young as well.
Speaker 1:It's really sad, Like I feel sad now, so I need to.
Speaker 2:I know so do I, and I'm like why do I do this to myself? I'm such an emotional wreck. It's not even okay. I was roaring, crying like when I heard it. I was like, no, I can't, I cannot deal. It's where I know I'm personally, but I feel like I do.
Speaker 1:I feel like when you're watching, yeah, it's like end of an year. It's like a part like you grew up with them, as you said, like it was like part of your like childhood, teenage years, mid twenties, like you just grew up with friends and now it's like it's like the end of an era. It's weird, isn't it? Okay, so you have a little fact of the week. So the circulatory system is more than 60,000 miles long. Isn't that mental? What the hell?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's insane Like how is that even possible?
Speaker 1:That's like taking like the veins, arteries, capillaries, everything. If everything was like laid out flat, it would go more. It would go more than 60,000 miles long. This is according to Franklin institution. By the way, I didn't make this shit up.
Speaker 2:I didn't make this shit up.
Speaker 1:I didn't make this shit up. I don't know. That's just crazy, how it's like just all inside you Like what I know.

Today it's Monday again when you wake up and you're like where did that week go? But we actually don't sit in and take a moment of each and every day. It's so strange. You don't even think about it.
