Ever find yourself caught in a passionate argument about the superior breakfast cereal, only to end up strolling down memory lane on a nostalgia-fueled bike ride with a lizard pouch inside of your grandparents' house? That's exactly where we kick things off in our latest episode.
Our special guest, Lisa Camp, joins the fray, sharing her transition from corporate social media management to spearheading her own social media business, and yes, we even touch on a hilarious sriracha heist mid-show.
We peel back the curtain on the life of a content creator, where one moment you're a video producer and the next, you're an entrepreneur helping small businesses soar. I open up about the liberating, yet arduous journey of content production and why the entrepreneurial spirit is the heartbeat of my work. As we navigate these identities, I'll reflect on the humor in aging—because who doesn't need a good chuckle about life's inevitable milestones? After all, I'm 30 now - and it's "all downhill from here" according to Lisa.
From recalling zany food trends to unpacking the viral frenzy around TikTok's pink sauce, we cover it all with a side of wit and a sprinkle of social media savvy. Join us for an episode that's as much a feast for the ears as it is a banquet of laughs and a glimpse behind the curtain of being a creator.

Let's ask the real questions here. Cereal tier list what would you say is your number one?
Speaker 2:I immediately wanted to say Pops, but I don't know that that is my number one. Whoa, you don't eat Pops.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1:I forgot that Pops existed until just now.
Speaker 2:Pops are delicious.
Speaker 1:I think that's subjective.
Speaker 2:No, that's a fact. That ain't a fact. Pops are delicious.
Speaker 1:That Pops are delicious. That's up to opinion. This is my degree. What we've been talking about? This? Oh, it's ripped now.
Speaker 2:You see that.
Speaker 1:That's a gash. This is not my degree. Welcome to the show where we talk about things. And why did I mess up the intro? I give you a backstage pass in the life of a full-time freelancer and content creator, and sometimes I get to hang out with people like me. For those that don't know who you are yes, who are you.
Speaker 2:My name is Lisa Camp and, yeah, I'm just a human on earth.
Speaker 1:There's a little more than that. I feel like you might be downplaying just a little bit.
Speaker 2:Probably.
Speaker 1:You are managing people now, that's.
Speaker 2:Testing managing people.
Speaker 1:Testing managing people, influencers, creators and yeah, there's a lot more to it. You have a social media business.
Speaker 2:I do Social media business. Worked in corporate for most of my career for the past 10 years and, um yeah, content creator and freelancer did you start out in content creation or did you just kind of like move into it?
Speaker 1:um, I moved into it kind of what'd you start with?
Speaker 2:managing other people's social. So I feel like that's where it kind of all got started and, um, of course my sister is calling me now.
Speaker 1:Are you getting a phone call? Okay, backstory, do you want to answer that?
Speaker 2:I can give a backstory, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:So backstory on her sister calling right now. Apparently she is breaking into her house right now to steal her sriracha. I'm not even kidding you. I wish I was lying, but she said that she is trying to get in her house so that she can take sriracha, and that's the reason behind her entering her home. And we don't know if she's disarmed the house either. So I guess we'll find out on the podcast. If everything, if everything went according to plan.
Speaker 2:Sorry about that.
Speaker 1:Did you disarm the house?
Speaker 2:The house is disarmed. She just didn't know the code.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, okay, yeah, no, that's.
Speaker 2:Even though I texted it to her.
Speaker 1:but how do you not know the code? If you get texted the code, does she know numbers?
Speaker 2:I'm starting to question that.
Speaker 1:I would be too honestly. Because at this point, like, like, if you receive the message, right, like what happens, if, like, you find a treasure map or something, do you just like. It's just like oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh well, still can't find it.
Speaker 1:No, you just give up, yeah what happens if, like I don't know, you go through the tutorial of a video game? Is it just like?
Speaker 2:well, first off, who watches the tutorial of a video game? I'm sorry, do you do that?
Speaker 1:I don't know about you, but I didn't just pop into any game gifted, okay my bad, like if I'm if I'm wandering into a brand new game I have no idea what I'm doing oh, I skip that thing every time so you just I'll figure it out, make it up as I go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay that's how the good get great, I guess.
Speaker 1:So maybe, maybe, or I just really suck and but like what happens if you jump into call of duty thinking that it's like a mario game, like it's a platformer uh, surprise it's. It's a little more dangerous. It's dangerous, but you'll figure it out. You'll learn faster that way, yeah well, you get, yeah, you get got a couple times okay, you're gonna be a little, a little down there first but right, you'll come up eventually.
Speaker 2:It's like riding a bike right, like I don't know about you, but I was taught. You know my, my dad just put me on the bike and just kind of push me down the hill. So it was either I got to learn how to start cycling or um okay, maybe that was there we go See so my video gaming is like your bike riding.
Speaker 1:What was your first bike?
Speaker 2:Oh, I don't know, just some.
Speaker 1:You don't remember Little kid bike? I don't remember mine vividly. What is it Okay? Scenario Picture this Okay. There is this turquoise bike. Turquoise, turquoise bike. All right, it's a lizard, it's like a chameleon yeah, yeah, it had like a zippable pouch so I could put things in it, and had a water bottle holder and I used to ride it in the house interesting yeah, I don't. I have no idea why they allowed me to do that yeah but I in my grandparents house, they would let me ride the bike did you have training wheels?
Speaker 1:no oh yeah, so it was kind of reckless on their part.
Speaker 2:But that gifted you never. You never had training wheels never fell.
Speaker 1:Well, I had training wheels at first, okay, yeah. And then I remember I was at this bike charity thing and some kid ran into me, oh, and then they, we clashed and that stayed with you for your whole life.
Speaker 2:It did it, did you're talking about it now? I felt bad.
Speaker 1:You remember it vividly because, like, even though it wasn't my fault, like I was going the right way, you know the circle the right way oh, they were going the opposite way and it was like a just kid, just yeah, I wonder what that kid's doing now hopefully doing better.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'd imagine, hopefully they didn't have the you know that didn't stick with them for that long, but I felt guilty. So if you're watching this I don't know if you would even remember that, but, um, we raised money that day, so, like at, the end of the day, it was a good thing, yeah, but what did you keep in this chameleon pouch?
Speaker 2:That's what I want to know.
Speaker 1:I'm going to be honest, I kept nothing in there. I didn't have anything to put in there, so I don't know why.
Speaker 2:I don't know it was for sure yeah, it was really just a flex on people.
Speaker 1:It was like it was, like my version of like a I don't know a gucci bag okay, or louis vuitton back then like oh, oh, I have you. You have just a water bottle holder on your bike. No, I got a chameleon right.
Speaker 2:All right, watch your tone okay, yeah, so like some of mine at early age, yeah, so that was how I got an ego was the lizard pouch on my bike.
Speaker 1:Maybe that's why I'm destined to be this it makes sense, wow circle was this therapy did we just did we just unpack? Why? Yeah, I'm supposed to be interviewing you, wait a minute, oh yeah who are you to? My podcast so I guess you have to launch a podcast now. Look at this you're natural.
Speaker 2:Can I curse on here?
Speaker 1:no, this is actually a pg podcast I can't believe you would do that. Okay, okay now I have to flag this as explicit. Fuck. No, I'm just kidding children. No, this. Every episode is explicit. Every episode is curse friendly.
Speaker 2:Okay, good, good to know.
Speaker 1:Curse friendly I don't know if that's a good way to put it Just like no hexes or anything.
Speaker 2:We like curse words. Yes, cursey words.
Speaker 1:Okay, what's the top tier curse word? What's the top tier curse word? What would you say? I would say Hmm, if you yeah, do you know right off the bat?
Speaker 2:No, okay, hit me with yours.
Speaker 1:I would say A lot of people are going to say fuck is a really great curse word.
Speaker 2:So my mind went to first.
Speaker 1:I agree, but it's almost like simple now. It used to be like the tippy top of the pyramid, Like whenever I was learning curse words my mom was like fuck is like the worst one.
Speaker 2:That's fair.
Speaker 1:But now it's everywhere. It's diluted.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's probably the one I use the most, it's just.
Speaker 1:It's good. It works as like a verb, it works as an adjective, it works as a noun.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:It really works as everything.
Speaker 2:Everything, it just makes sense.
Speaker 1:But I feel like shit is underrated.
Speaker 2:But I feel like we're forgetting about some other words.
Speaker 1:Damn.
Speaker 2:Damn, that's good. Damn is like I feel like I use that one, like it's a little sprinkle.
Speaker 1:Damn. I feel like, has been outranked, I feel like it's not even in curse word, like territory at this point.
Speaker 2:That's true, because like.
Speaker 1:Didn't they say that in like Shrek or something?
Speaker 2:And I watched, or something. And I watched that in second grade in the classroom, did they, I think? So I think it's like the one interesting or ass that was what it was, because, donkey, that one definitely doesn't count ass is like not even declassified at this point.
Speaker 1:No, no, it's not even like in the running yeah now that we've gotten the cursing out of our system, let's, let's run it back to what you do. How did you get started with this? Whole entrepreneurship journey because there's a lot of like curse words that are thrown in this like realm right.
Speaker 2:Well, um, it started in 2020, I feel like, is when I started really identifying as an entrepreneur. The panorama exactly. I just graduated with my master's degree in business and I'm like, yes, I got my master's degree, I had my undergrad, I'm going to get a good job, a good paying job, and then here comes pandemic, so people weren't hiring and I was like fine, I'll hire myself.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And that's what I did. So, yeah, I've kind of had my business now for three years and um with that I've also worked corporate but then also freelancing contracts. So it's just kind of been like a yeah, a widening road so did you ever have like a full-time, full-time job? Oh, absolutely in this realm, in this realm as in as in like marketing oh yeah, social media absolutely. Um, I've worked from everything from like the feds to agencies.
Speaker 1:I did yeah um I gotta be careful now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no um, don't flag this or pay attention to me.
Speaker 1:Federal people I gotta I gotta be more proper same um, but yeah no.
Speaker 2:So I've had a nine to five, you know, typical, like a normal human being.
Speaker 1:I think that's what normal people do, right I feel like, yeah, I feel like nine to fives are starting to phase out.
Speaker 2:Now, though, people yeah um, you know that's true.
Speaker 1:What do you think about that statement?
Speaker 2:I think people are realizing we slave all day for other people to make their coins, whereas we can be doing it for ourselves and have more agency over how and when and why.
Speaker 1:So yeah, it's just like so much better to be able to, like, call the shots Right and you set the tone.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:So like, if you want to work a certain type of way, yeah, and when, and just having freedom to. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:To live a life outside of your job.
Speaker 1:I think people are like wakening up to that idea I think so too, and I think now it's like even easier than ever to be able to do that, because I feel, like the gig economy has really grasped society, where there's so many opportunities now and so many different ways you can pivot Like you don't even have to do like social media and marketing. You can do consulting, you can do like a wide variety of different things now.
Speaker 2:As creative as you want to be.
Speaker 1:Literally yeah, and you can just invent a role. Now that's, that's real, like you just invent yeah what you want to do that is totally real, like I don't know. It's weird to think that I'm a content creator and then I use that to also sell video production services like as a package deal. Like whenever I explain what I do to people I just say oh, I'm just a creative director.
Speaker 1:Cause that's like the most understanding to like most people Like if I'm speaking to Gen X or you know boomers, they're like oh, what's that little social media thing you got going on? It's like I'm a creative director. I'll just leave it at that. Oh, what kind of stuff do you do you get? What stuff do you? Do you work with all these newfangled people?
Speaker 2:What is this voice?
Speaker 1:It's just my default boomer voice, you know? Okay, they're just boomers. I just try to picture myself as a West County dad and then everything just kind of falls into place Okay.
Speaker 2:All right, it's like code switching into that Code switching, but yeah, no, I feel like it's on um on top of. You can kind of make your own lane, have your own job. As far as you know what your title is that's something I've struggled with is what is my title? Like identifying in one group or category, like an entrepreneur or content creator or influencer, that's.
Speaker 1:That's a whole nother bucket of worms, because you literally are all of those things.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's hard to like, like I'll never say I'm an influencer or a content creator normally.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Or entrepreneur, but that's what I am, okay.
Speaker 1:So out of being an entrepreneur, content creator and influencer, which is the most fun.
Speaker 2:Ooh, probably content creator.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Cause you just get to like, make up whatever scenarios or ideas or scenes in your head, and then execute it.
Speaker 1:It is a lot of fun. Yeah, it is a lot of fun. Do you like storyboard the content.
Speaker 2:You just kind of go with it. I just freestyle, yeah Freestyle, turn on the camera, make it up as I go. I probably should have a little bit more structure, cause maybe things would like pan out Like I have ideas in my head that are just like grand Right. And then it comes to execution and I'm just like Lisa, what the fuck is this Like?
Speaker 1:well, we'll storyboard. There's a board over there we can storyboard after the podcast? Yeah, Okay, which would you say is the most fulfilling out of those roles?
Speaker 2:Definitely entrepreneurship. Just because one, in my field at least, being having like a social media agency working with other small businesses, helping them to grow, helping them to see their dream come true is, yeah, there's nothing that beats that.
Speaker 1:So which do you say you would see yourself doing the longest?
Speaker 2:Probably entrepreneurship. Ok, why?
Speaker 1:is that.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, content creation it's. It requires you to go like. Social media never dies. People can watch it anytime. You constantly have to be creating content, pumping out content. I feel like I'm going to get old one day. I mean, I guess I'm kind of already getting old, but what? Anyway, my birthday's coming up, what? Yeah, whoa, whoa old old. It's all downhill from 25.
Speaker 1:That's just how I view it I feel like a senior citizen now, wow yeah, so you think 25 is the end all be all yeah, yeah. After that it's just it's just everything goes downhill, tumble. Listen, how do you feel as you approach 30?
Speaker 2:well don't hold up I got one more year you do have one more I'm turning 29, not 30 you are turning 29 but um. But 30 is right around the corner you know that spongebob meme where spongebob and sandy and patrick are like running and there's the big boom in the back and then one gets pulled back you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's how it is. Yeah, patrick gets lassoed. And then, yeah, sandy, yeah, he's like, yeah, and you've seen people put the like 1994, 1995, babies on it and it's like they got the 1994s. Yeah, that's what I picture every time I think about my birthday you know, I did the like a post on Instagram the other day.
Speaker 2:Did you see that?
Speaker 1:About how I it was crazy, Like I was actually shocked at how insane this post went.
Speaker 2:Also. No case, yeah, you're wild.
Speaker 1:It's just a phone. That's brave. It's just a phone I mean, it's the only time just a phone that's brave.
Speaker 2:It's just a phone.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's the only time the only time that I've majorly dropped my phone in in history not even this one previous phone was. I was in detroit and I was making fun of the name motortown and I was like who, motortown, motortown? Just like flinging the like phone around, yeah, and then it just like dropped.
Speaker 2:It just flew out of my hand yeah.
Speaker 1:And I'm like I'm never making fun of Detroit again.
Speaker 2:Fair. You shouldn't. But yeah, that's, that's the last I did but that's like part of your career that you're holding. It's a replaceable part of the. I guess that's fair yeah, you know it's like it's a tool that's true, you know, and I say that it's also insured and I have a case and I still somehow um is that a remote strap on there no, but you know what I'm gonna start telling people?
Speaker 1:it is because that's hilarious if you need a wii remote strap, I have several that is hilarious, and if you need a wii, I actually have like four.
Speaker 2:Well, that makes you just want one that makes my case even sadder because, yes, I have a wii strap a case what do you be doing and? I still somehow have cracked.
Speaker 1:It's a protector, but it's cracked the protector with a wii remote strap.
Speaker 2:Nintendo would be so so that just shows you how clumsy I am that I need all these safety precautions and um yeah so you need like an otter box?
Speaker 1:I don't. I think you've graduated past that if you've managed to crack it with that tank of a case yeah, but anyways, that's why you're brave you opt for the normal size iphone.
Speaker 2:I did, but anyways, that's why you're brave.
Speaker 1:You opt for the normal size iPhone.
Speaker 2:I did.
Speaker 1:Why not the Pro?
Speaker 2:I don't need that big. If I crack this, I don't need more screen to crack, I need less.
Speaker 1:But more battery, more camera, more screen real estate.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, so you can see everything in more detail.
Speaker 1:No, look how much of Instagram feed is in my phone screen right now. Don't cringe. Now Hold on. This was a good post. This is the one I'm actually referencing. Well, basically I posted and said people under 30 ask a question, People over 30 answer the question.
Speaker 2:I did see that yeah.
Speaker 1:That popped off.
Speaker 2:You got some good advice and questions.
Speaker 1:I got a lot of good things, so I might read a few, because there were a few questions yeah, do it like one of my buddies asked if you could change one thing at 22, what would you have done differently? I mean a lot like think back to like when you were 22 yeah, I know whole different time, like whole different time for like most people it's like whoa, I don't even know that person.
Speaker 1:But people were like uh actually followed my dream and not got scared. Uh dumped my college boyfriend earlier. Uh become more social and more extroverted, you know, and like network more and like learn the importance of friends.
Speaker 2:It's's interesting, it honestly turned out to be a really good one. The things we know, yeah, but then you have like is cereal soup. Is cereal soup.
Speaker 1:I mean. I can answer that in a few weeks, but, like right now, I have to like ask the questions.
Speaker 2:Gotcha Okay.
Speaker 1:Like I haven't, I'm not credible. Yet.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:I mean by the time this goes out. Actually, I think this goes out the day before my birthday. So, yes, I will be credible tomorrow for the people listening. But right now, it's I like that question but a lot of people are saying no, cereal is a stew.
Speaker 2:That's a pretty good answer I disagree you don't think it's a stew, it's I can see the soup, because you eat it with a spoon, it's mostly liquid, so wait a second. Okay, eat it with a spoon, it's mostly liquid so wait a second, okay.
Speaker 1:Whenever you pour a bowl of cereal, do you just like immediately dive in? Is it just like yo? All right, milk cereal spoon instant yeah you don't let it like marinate for a minute oh, no, like what are you like? We're eating like cocoa krispies okay you're just going in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're not letting the krispies marinate, because by the time as you're eating it, some of them are marinating. Right, and you, it's like the last piece of a ice cream cone. Right, that's like the best, right, because ice cream was sitting there, was melting, it's all smuggled together sure that's how I feel about the cereal. But you got to start and then you get to the end it's like, oh, that was a great last bite of cereal I disagree.
Speaker 1:I like to have like the chocolatey chocolate milk and the most of the time I'm pouring a second bowl. So then it's, it's already marinated okay, then that milk's a little bit chocolatey already and you have another bowl.
Speaker 2:If you're having multiple bowls, then yeah and you know I always have multiple goals. How can you not?
Speaker 1:I mean it depends on the cereal, like apple jacks and stuff will like tear your mouth up you know, fuck that.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, no, like, no, like, fuck, yeah, I'm gonna eat more of the apple jacks okay, that sounds painful, but, to be honest, I would do the same thing.
Speaker 1:Okay, because apple jacks are bomb all of them. Whoa. Okay, all right right let's ask the real questions here. Cereal tier list. This is a hot topic here in the studio. This is hard what would you say is your number one?
Speaker 2:oh, that's hard. I immediately wanted to say pops, but I don't know that.
Speaker 1:That is whoa, my number one whoa whoa because I think I'm not even remember?
Speaker 2:Oh, of course I eat. You don't eat pops. No, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 1:I forgot that pops existed until just now.
Speaker 2:Pops are delicious Um.
Speaker 1:I think that's objective.
Speaker 2:No, that's a that's a fact. Pops are delicious.
Speaker 1:That's up to opinion.
Speaker 2:Pops, pops. You mean to tell me when you walk down the cereal aisle, pops is the best selection. That's the cream of the crop, that just says pops.
Speaker 1:And you're there, yeah it will pop yourself out of the cereal aisle and then try again yeah, no that we can't. I would say number one honestly would be like coco crispies no because it's a it's a multiple course meal you get the cereal, then you get the milk, like come on, now, it's a fine dining exquisite pinkies up experience come on over that one.
Speaker 2:I would just go with like the normal fruity pebbles okay, fruity pebbles over coco pebbles a hundred percent every time what. No doubt in my mind.
Speaker 1:Why.
Speaker 2:It's just better.
Speaker 1:It's colorful.
Speaker 2:It's cute to look at Tastes even better.
Speaker 1:I'm not trying to enjoy a meal. I'm not trying to look at some pretty ass cereal.
Speaker 2:Hey, there's a big aspect about food looking presentable before you eat it. I think they played into that. They knew what they were doing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they played into that, they knew what they were doing.
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah, the the fruity pebble scientists were like really factoring in plating? Yeah, they were. They were like make it appetizing for kids. They're like present this let's make it colorful. Kids will love it. They'll want to eat it. Let's do it, and they did I guess that's true.
Speaker 1:I guess that's why tricks was relevant for a while yeah now I feel like tricks kind of fell off tricks is for kids it is for kids not adults not adults. I haven't picked up a box of tricks I haven't since my mom picked it up when I was in like eighth grade yeah well, I don't even know if the bunny's still on there really is?
Speaker 1:I don't know the trickstrap, it's done yeah, maybe wait, or he's probably been reinvented at this point I don't know, I just feel like I haven't seen him in a while but no, I could see them getting mad about that.
Speaker 2:They're mad about the most random things a good representation, right Like he wasn't doing bad stuff, he was, he brought good energy. He was like Encouraging kids to eat.
Speaker 1:Professional Kind Right Shared.
Speaker 2:Great personality Inclusive.
Speaker 1:Tricks is actually. That's exclusive, because now, if I'm an adult, I wouldn't get along with him because it's not for kids, or it is for kids, it's not for adults.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But I can respect it. I can respect it. Yeah, you know your target demographic.
Speaker 2:And you could be a kid at heart. So it still applies. That's true. That's true. Tricks are for kids.
Speaker 1:Definitely a kid at heart. Yeah, a hundred percent.
Speaker 2:Me too.
Speaker 1:I have a freaking Switch dock in here. It's not plugged in right now, but I'm a kid at heart. Yeah, I play Mario Kart Still, Frosted flakes though I feel like are just not that great.
Speaker 2:I've always had to sprinkle extra sugar on it. Yo, what is?
Speaker 1:up.
Speaker 2:Okay, hold on.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, that's not the first time I've heard this, and is that actually a thing?
Speaker 2:Yeah, did you not? No, you just ate bare ass Frosted flakes and you're eating diabetes. I sure am. What is going on?
Speaker 1:What More? What is going on? What More sugar.
Speaker 2:There's like 20 grams of sugar in there already, I know, but it just needed it like on the top it just needed more. Sprinkle on it a little bit.
Speaker 1:That's when you do let it sit for just like a second the sugar flakes needed more sugar.
Speaker 2:And then, yeah, yeah, there's probably yeah there's deeper stuff behind that, but Just a lot of sugar.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just a lot of sugar. You know what? That's okay, I will respect. And the milk was so great afterwards because it had extra just sugary additives sugar, milk, sugar. Yeah, what never made sense to me is the people that preferred the marshmallow only. Oh no I don't know about y'all, but like when I ate lucky charms and like ate the marshmallows, it's just like I felt the cavities, like actively forming.
Speaker 2:I just I dodged the marshmallows yeah's just like I felt the cavities like actively forming.
Speaker 1:I just I dodged the marshmallows yeah, I gotta say I'm not a marshmallow person, so I would just avoid them like, so do you avoid s'mores I don't eat.
Speaker 2:I disassemble the s'more if it's built, and I'll just eat the graham crackers separately, the chocolate separately, forego the marshmallow way to eat each component separately separately so do you do you eat?
Speaker 1:your cereal together absolutely okay, you know, just like I'm not that crazy, no, I'm like, come on now, this better not be some like get out type shit no, not that.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, no, I got scared.
Speaker 1:No, no, I was terrified minute.
Speaker 2:No, I'm on the wrong side of that, that's the case. Do you like the marshmallow burnt a little bit, or is it just gooey? Yeah, it's got a little char, okay.
Speaker 1:Whoa, whoa, whoa. I saw that, that side eye.
Speaker 2:So then I'm like, that makes me ponder, right.
Speaker 1:Do you like hot dogs charred burned?
Speaker 2:I don't really like hot dogs, oh gosh, okay, what is that a?
Speaker 1:bad thing? Yeah. So you're gonna roast me for not liking hot dogs? Yeah, why? They're just kind of like. It's like if they're there, sure I'll have one, but I don't. It's like burger king, I don't seek it out if it's there, if it's a place that I end up targeting burger king what they do, because it's a place to you, Because it's a place that I end up not a place I seek out.
Speaker 1:It's like a place that you like. If you're driving on like doing a road trip, right, and you're like man, I really got to use the bathroom, I guess I'll stop at the next exit and you see food, next exit, burger King. You're like sure up, not a place you seek out. I haven't been there in a while but I like burger king.
Speaker 2:I mean, it's all right you can have it your way, can you plus?
Speaker 1:I just don't trust a place that sells what?
Speaker 2:20 nuggets for a dollar 49. I mean, what are those nuggets?
Speaker 1:yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying but we can say that for a lot of places, a lot of fast food places, that's true.
Speaker 1:So but like I ain't nowhere giving you 20 nuggets for a buck 50. That's scary it is what's in those?
Speaker 2:probably not nuggets, it's probably just breading that's just fried you're just getting all bread so then, when you go to a barbecue, what are you grabbing, if you're not grabbing a hot dog?
Speaker 1:I'm going straight for a burger that's fair and I'm building something and you're building something like what yeah, you, yeah, you got all the condiments, you got all the ingredients. But I like to keep it simple. I like to do something like okay, let me walk you through this.
Speaker 2:Oh gosh, you got the bottom bun. Okay.
Speaker 1:You get a little bit of barbecue sauce on there, but it can't just be like regular barbecue sauce. It's got to be like hot barbecue sauce or honey barbecue. Okay. Got to do something different, preferably hot. Then you put the burger on top of that, okay.
Speaker 2:And then you put Is it charred a little bit?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, it's charred, it's charred, it's charred, the flames have been there, okay. Okay, then you put that on there. Put the pepper jack cheese, okay all right, then you put lettuce, a little bit of onion, okay, and then on the top bun you put a little bit more barbecue sauce back it up, no tomato no oh, lord no tomato or pickles. Sue me, send me a season you gotta have the tomato no pickles yeah, no no, you y'all can't have tomatoes. Oh I'll keep fine.
Speaker 2:More for me, that's fine. Boom me, that's fine.
Speaker 1:Boom Bop, that's a burger.
Speaker 2:Okay, it's making sense now. And if there's no burger, though, what are you grabbing?
Speaker 1:If there's no burger, oh my God. Hopefully there's some type of chips and dip, I'll start there just to like. Kind of, give me something to like. Let me mull over my decision question and ponder why there's no burgers at a barbecue. Um, but I'll end up probably at a hot dog at that point. Okay, if there's like wings, I'll take that. I would like that. If there's like either turkey legs or like chicken legs, I'll take those.
Speaker 1:That's that's good um, or I'll just get a plate of sides, because I'm just that's what I was gonna say sides.
Speaker 2:That makes a difference too like mac and cheese mac and cheese. Come on now. Corn on cob yes yes, some potatoes.
Speaker 1:What?
Speaker 2:other sides are there depends on the type of potatoes yes like. Is it a baked potato? Is it a mashed potato?
Speaker 1:I'm thinking like kebab style okay, yeah, you know yeah like mashed potatoes at a barbecue. Just seems like too much work. It's weird yeah you know, it's like it happens. It's like you're overdressed for the occasion.
Speaker 2:Dead. Yes, you know, like don't show up in a suit, yeah.
Speaker 1:You don't need to be doing all that Like. This is gym class, just all right.
Speaker 2:Grab and go, please, yeah. Like this is gym class.
Speaker 1:You don't need to do all that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was talking with my garden friends and people and friends Hold on.
Speaker 1:This sounds like a club. I mean, there's lots of garden clubs and friends.
Speaker 2:But I was at a networking event and they were. We were talking about what we're planting and that sort of thing and they're like oh no, people in Ohio and Nebraska and all these other places, they're like the farmers there are saying we're good, like they're starting their crops, we're good there's not going to be another freeze. So if they're saying it, I'm like okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, we're good, that's pretty solid.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like the farmer's almanac or whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:The farmer's almanac.
Speaker 2:We're good, plant your stuff.
Speaker 1:I remember they gave us that in like fourth grade, yeah, and I didn't know what I was looking at I should have paid more attention.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I should have too. Yeah, like that was like such free game that I didn't even take seriously, but also of the things they taught us. That was a weird route to go Like, especially now they can tell us about taxes, other things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I took a personal finance class in college and they didn't teach us taxes till the last week finance class in college and they didn't teach us taxes till the last week.
Speaker 1:I don't think they want us to know they don't, it's a game. Yeah, they don't, it's like all right, it's tax season, baby figure it out what are you gonna give me, uh? And then you give it an amount and it's like it's not right okay well, what's the right amount? It's not right. Okay, what do you want? It's not right yeah we spent like two months on budget oh, like balancing and but like help me with my taxes let me be an entrepreneur okay no or at least just tell me to go get an accountant and like have them handle it I hope, which is now schools now are teaching it.
Speaker 2:I bet they they're not.
Speaker 1:I hope so it's because the number one profession that kids want to be is a YouTuber.
Speaker 2:I did see that They've done studies on that.
Speaker 1:Kids want to be influencers and content creators.
Speaker 2:Right, but if you do that, you got to do your own taxes.
Speaker 1:You do have to do your own taxes. Unfortunately, Do your taxes people Do not mess around with that.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Do not, no, do not mess around with taxes. I just hate hearing the number. I remember first full year of freelance. I was like all right, so what's everything looking like? And then my accountant told me how much I owed and I'm like I owe exactly how much.
Speaker 2:Yes, what I feel like since, yeah, since my business I've owed, I'm just like that fucking sucks it, it's terrible.
Speaker 1:And then you have to write that fat check right to the IRS and it sucks yeah. Painful, but they don't teach you about that in school. They don't, they don't teach you about that.
Speaker 2:I just like that. We went from hot dogs and barbecues to taxes, naturally.
Speaker 1:We're going to take an intermission and we are going to down our coffees and I bet you that coffee's not hot no, it's not, but it's not cold either, so that's the difference hear that ice sounds like a brain freeze a brain freeze yeah, I just don't do cold, I don't know do you like ice cream?
Speaker 2:I love ice cream. It's different. And you're eating it. I mean, okay, wait, I do chew my ice cream, sorry.
Speaker 1:But you chew your ice cream, yeah, so you hold on, hold on.
Speaker 2:I mean like okay.
Speaker 1:You begin ice cream and you're like wow, you do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yo, something's wrong here. Didn't say I was all together, I just the eating of the ice cream is what gets me.
Speaker 2:Or, like you, chew it if you're like, especially like it's a cone right like you, well, that's that's different even before you get there, right like the dollop on the top, do you not bite it?
Speaker 1:I, but like I don't be chewing it, Like what? No wonder you get a brain freeze. You be chewing the ice cream.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe that's why Do you chew a lollipop Sometimes. I mean it depends on what bite?
Speaker 1:You just be biting it.
Speaker 2:Like I mean first off. Think about the owl right, he's like one, two and then he bites it.
Speaker 1:So like, like I mean first off think about the owl right, he's like one, two and then he bites it.
Speaker 2:So like I'm not too far off there, you're using the owl to justify your 100.
Speaker 1:I learned from him he, he failed at the one thing he was hired to do fuck how many licks it's. No, you're just gonna bite it and did you ever try testing how many licks it takes to? Get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pot I didn't have the patience.
Speaker 2:I totally tried it. You did. Yeah, how far I was in class I was.
Speaker 1:It was also fourth grade and I remember sitting there I was like, okay, I'm gonna find out. Okay, like it's time. Yeah, this mystery needs to be solved. I can't believe no one else you were gonna step forward and like taken on the challenge right like that owl, fuck him. I'm gonna do it right here right now, and it took approximately 582 licks why?
Speaker 2:that's because it was a lot.
Speaker 1:It was during math and I did not care oh, that's.
Speaker 2:I needed something to do, you know no math, it was, it was bad. It was bad.
Speaker 1:Never been good at that, nope but also this might sound crazy, but in fourth grade there was like this pilot program that we had at our school. That was like the gifted program of the fourth grade was put in a fifth grade classroom. So our classroom was split of like 12 fourth graders with fifth graders and we did fifth grade curriculum and it was not good wait.
Speaker 2:So st louis question where did you go to school?
Speaker 1:mcclure north, oh, okay I don't know what the thought process was there, though like at that point, just let us skip a grade yeah you know we were learning fifth grade stuff as fourth graders. And then I still had to go through fifth grade in the same classroom the next year.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that's weird. Like just let me skip a grade but then you can say I was in the gifted program, Like that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1:I guess that's true. To say In elementary school.
Speaker 2:Well, I guess it is cool also to say I skipped a grade. But, Did you no?
Speaker 1:no, no, no Like.
Speaker 2:I'm saying for you no, no, no, no, oh no, in grade school I was more creative and you know I was a theater kid, I was in the sports, so I was less of a book nerd or person per se. But then college I'm a book nerd Like I'm just. I can do school, I can play the game yeah.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I've kind of like basically they beat the creativity out of me to become a book nerd.
Speaker 1:Oh no.
Speaker 2:So then now I'm back in the creative lane.
Speaker 1:I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's school.
Speaker 1:School is just to show up and do your thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like if you're I don't know eight years old and listening to this hopefully you're not.
Speaker 2:Not for children.
Speaker 1:Not for children at all. It's marked as explicit. Please go talk to your parents. Um, I don't know. The pythagorean theorem has never been something I've had to worry about. I've never been like stopped on the street by like a criminal and they're like what's the pythagorean theorem? And I, like I've never been. I used to think that like people would just pop out or like I'd be in some important meeting and then I'd be singled out yeah, exactly, no like if I'm interviewing to be, I don't know, a construction worker, and they're like can you do?
Speaker 1:pythagorean theorem, you got it right no, yeah, or like.
Speaker 2:I've always struggled in math like I told you, but my teacher would say you know you can't have a calculator with you all the time. Jokes on you because we do wrong.
Speaker 1:Because we have them, we do right here, exactly like come on, I just got jump scared by by the freaking cuckoo bird, but like yeah no, oh, it's just a basic I'm sorry, what?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah, exactly yeah, scientific calculator built into whatever phone you have. Remember purple ketchup okay, uh, kind of the green ketchup yeah, no, I could never, I couldn't get down with that we had it like once.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm like, why did y'all buy this some?
Speaker 2:things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, shouldn't be green ketchup yeah, that gives me green, I guess makes more sense. Because, like you could think of, like relish and stuff, I guess, purple, purple, no, purple, no, what were they thinking with purple? Because, like you could think of like relish and stuff.
Speaker 2:I guess Purple, purple, no, purple, no what were they thinking with purple ketchup? Well, now it's kind of like the pink sauce. Do you remember that controversy?
Speaker 1:What's the pink sauce?
Speaker 2:You don't know about pink sauce. What's the pink sauce? Tiktok like what's the pink?
Speaker 1:sauce.
Speaker 2:There's a lady who can't even explain it. It's a whole thing, but she went viral.
Speaker 1:People wanted pink sauce on their stuff. Sauce, wait, I yeah, I don't know what this is people went crazy for pink sauce. Yeah, like nikki minaj, yeah, wow I can't believe. You don't know I did not know about pink, so like what flavor was it?
Speaker 2:that's the thing I think people want to find out.
Speaker 1:We don't nobody, I don't know I never, I, never.
Speaker 2:I didn't order it, I didn't try it, but like it went viral, she was, she had a business.
Speaker 1:It was just like an entrepreneur, lady a business chef, does she have a tiktok shop now? No can we talk about that it's.
Speaker 2:It's so complicated. It's like she made this pink sauce in her kitchen but shipping it to people. It was bad because she didn't have any like processes in place.
Speaker 1:She didn't know what the fba was this sounds illegal, yeah it was, and then she was selling shipping food to people yeah, like shipping pink sauce yeah and y'all bought it, they bought it y'all bought it, to the point that she made a business out of it.
Speaker 2:And then she got picked up by some famous chef people and they were selling her products in Walmart. Like you can still buy it in Walmart today, I think.
Speaker 1:What.
Speaker 2:But then she kind of like broke down that business relationship by it's just a whole. It's a whole thing. You'll have to watch it afterwards.
Speaker 1:The power of social media is so crazy because A the pink sauce existed. It's sold. She built a business off of it Got picked up.
Speaker 2:Got a great deal, it got picked up by real people.
Speaker 1:Sold in Walmart. Sold in Walmart, all because of some pink sauce. Messed it up, but yeahok tiktok is powerful it is very powerful, but tiktok really needs to get it together with this shop stuff why, because every like third post is like oh, like a walk. Don't run to my link so that you can purchase this useless product that you absolutely don't need and you can probably buy on Amazon for cheaper.
Speaker 2:Maybe I don't get a lot of those.
