Speaker 2 2:32

Yeah, I think we. I think we met a few times and I was a little too under the influence.

Speaker 1 2:38

Yeah To UI. But what was it about her Like? What were you feeling?

Speaker 2 2:42

Good looking, obviously First thing caught my eye. Obviously, come on, you're first attracted by looks.

Speaker 1 2:49

You ain't blind.

Speaker 2 2:51

Yeah, I mean easy to talk to. And one thing led to another. She invited me to her sorority formal.

Speaker 3 2:58

Do you remember how I asked you?

Speaker 2 2:59

Yeah, like acting like we're like friends, like try and act all like oh, we're just going as friends, that's kind of yeah.

Speaker 3 3:05

Speaker 1 3:23

So did you like that fun question?

Speaker 2 3:25

Yeah, and then I said, maybe we should hang out before.

Speaker 1 3:28

And why was that? Was that because you were a little nervous to just like do a first day at a cocktail? You thought I was cute yeah, obviously. You're very attracted to your wife. That's what I'm hearing.

Speaker 2 3:38

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 4 3:40

He's all yeah, I want to smash right now.

Speaker 1 3:43

If you guys can leave Gross Gabe's just fucking fucking.

Speaker 4 3:49

Well, I figured I don't want to add too much chatter for you to edit.

Speaker 1 3:55

Don't worry about that, Gabe. That is for editing tiff to deal with in the future. Okay, this is not your problem. You are a guest on my show, but I will bring you in, don't worry, it's true, you have kind of nothing to say here.

Speaker 4 4:07

You get surprisingly. I don't have much to say about how frantic AJ met.

Speaker 3 4:11

Right, because you weren't there, gabe, how sad.

Speaker 1 4:14

You were not, but the last time that Cherry's heard from me was over a year ago. Was it really? Yes, so what's new in your life? Was I married then? Last time we heard from you was right before your wedding.

Speaker 3 4:25

Must have been. Yeah, well, I'm married, we're married, mazel.

Speaker 1 4:30

Woo, your guys's wedding was so fun.

Speaker 4 4:33

Yeah, it was hell of fun.

Neither what Truro truck Truro truck was the highlight.

Speaker 3 4:40

I only had one.

Speaker 1 4:41

You know something I saw from a wedding this weekend. They had a tattoo artist.

Speaker 3 4:44

I saw that as well, but I think that would be hard. Getting a tattoo on the fly Like what would you choose?

Speaker 1 4:49

Like they had a page and you could only get one of those like 10 options. That's going to be a no, but apparently the line was so long that not everyone could get one.

Speaker 4 4:57

Also, you have to be sober for that. I not at a wedding? No, I think I saw something, everybody has to. Yeah, you can't drink alcohol. No one there was sober. I tell you that.

Speaker 1 5:07

It was on a mountain range, but I so wish I could get a tattoo artist at a wedding, like, yeah, hit me with the cherry Anyway, yeah. So you guys just went. How was it for you, aj, the planning, the experience we heard from Franny but for you, like, how involved were you slash? What was it like, yeah, how much work did you do?

Speaker 2 5:25

Yeah, not much, I planned the DJ. Oh yeah, didn't that.

Speaker 1 5:32

No, he's all making shit up, he's all.

Speaker 2 5:36

What do you put me in charge of? You put me in charge of something.

Speaker 3 5:40

You were in charge of, I guess, the music list you were in charge of that, that's what it was, you also you did the seating chart.

Speaker 2 5:46

I organized the music you did pretty good with the seating chart. Oh, your seating chart was good.

Speaker 1 5:50

I liked my table.

Speaker 2 5:51

He did, yeah, well, did you remember?

Speaker 1 5:54

at a certain point in the wedding you told me to appear, dj, and change the song I don't remember. You go, you go. You need to tell him to stop playing this. And I was like, okay, honestly, bride's duty.

Speaker 2 6:04

So I go first dance song.

Speaker 1 6:05

No, it was just a dance.

Speaker 2 6:06

It was a dance.

Speaker 1 6:07

And I said you need to change this. He goes, I don't work for you and I'm like, yeah, the bride side, Did he change it? He did Okay, good.

Speaker 2 6:12

Well, they screwed up our first dance.

Speaker 3 6:14

Did they? It wasn't that bad, no one noticed.

Speaker 2 6:16

Wait what happened.

Speaker 3 6:16

They just played a song. That wasn't our first dance and we started dancing and we were like no fucking way, this is not it.

Speaker 2 6:24

You played off pretty well. No one really noticed.

Speaker 3 6:26

And then did your song start and then we went up and we were like this is not our song.

Speaker 2 6:30

Took him like probably like 30, 45 seconds and Marissa knew right away, she was like this is not right Was she like tapping on him to the DJ like was running up, and then he was like this isn't it what?

Speaker 3 6:40

And then we found it really quick and he's all playing. Y'all gonna make me lose. He's like it's not it. It was like oh, oh, you choreographed our first dance. You did do that.

Speaker 2 6:49

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was telling her what to do. That's a big deal. Choreography.

Speaker 1 6:54

Yeah.

Speaker 3 6:55

Oh, you also plan the honeymoon.

Speaker 1 6:57

Oh wow, she's a dancer, she's a dancer, she's a star.

Speaker 3 7:00

Just couldn't you know, couldn't take that on for the wedding.

Speaker 1 7:03

Are you saying you're flexible?

Speaker 3 7:06

I'm saying I used to be flexible.

Speaker 1 7:08

Word Twice during sex, not with him. I've had people say. I've had people say you know you're not that flexible, are you? And I'm like you know, if you want to keep getting laid, you better shut the fuck up while you're inside me. Who the fuck would say that to you? Dummy's. Like they didn't understand how blessed they were, you know.

Speaker 3 7:26

I feel like that's probably how AJ feels, but that's okay.

Speaker 1 7:29

Just like keep that in your head. Like I don't say, you know, I wish you had less hair on your ass.

Speaker 2 7:33

You know, that's the first thing guys are thinking about.

Speaker 1 7:36

Flexibility yeah. It's not like we all wish my ankle could touch my ear, but it can't. You know, can yours, Franny? No, Did the camera get that Sure?

Speaker 3 7:50

did.

Speaker 1 7:50

I don't think it was that close, so anyway sorry I got us off track, but I do want to say this. You know it's interesting about men what they can be pissed at us, oh, but it's still have sex, oh.

Speaker 3 8:01

I think I think if you were so upset with me and I said do you want to have some fun? Yeah, you would say is that how you introduce? Sure, yeah, that is what we say. I-.

Speaker 1 8:13

You wanna go say I kinda love it. You wanna go have some fun?

Speaker 3 8:15

That's what we've said since we've been dating for like three months. Wait, that's so cute.

Speaker 2 8:19

We're gonna be 90 years old.

Speaker 3 8:21

Do you wanna have some fun? That's adorable.

Speaker 2 8:23

It's like that 70s show in there red and they like-.

Speaker 1 8:26

Yes.

Speaker 2 8:27

And they like run up the stage.

Speaker 1 8:28

Yeah, Wait please do that in front of us one day. Not fuck, but-.

Speaker 4 8:32

What.

Speaker 1 8:34

Say it and then run to go do it. Um, so okay. And then you guys bought a house. What was that process like together?

Speaker 3 8:42

Well, AJ is the one who convinced me to buy a house. I didn't really want to. Why didn't you want?

Speaker 1 8:46

to.

Speaker 3 8:47

I just-. It was during the wedding time and I wasn't ready. I was just too much going on. Oh, you did have a lot going on that year, but I'm glad we did it was fine. We only saw like three houses and then we picked ours Same, so yeah.

Speaker 4 8:59

I have zero recollection of the house buying process.

Speaker 1 9:01

Okay, AJ your thoughts.

Speaker 2 9:04

It was pretty easy. It was yeah, I was going into we were going into expecting it to pry, take a lot longer, longer drawn out process, but we got lucky.

Speaker 1 9:13

You have what I would call vocal fry. Yeah.

Speaker 2 9:16

I think I'm kind of losing my voice a little bit.

Speaker 1 9:18

Do you like it, Franny? Is it sexy?

Speaker 3 9:20

Just the laughing cause. You look so serious, like you're kind of like nervous. I'm not nervous.

Speaker 2 9:27

Um, but no, the reason my I think-.

Speaker 1 9:29

No, it's not bad.

Speaker 2 9:31

Was because I went to the Giants Podger's game a couple days ago and got really bad acid reflux and was uh, puking, yeah later in the middle of the night.

Speaker 1 9:38

Really loudly.

Speaker 2 9:39

That's why I think my vocal-.

Speaker 1 9:41

Oh, okay, okay, got it.

Speaker 2 9:42

Got it for the cherries yeah we cut that out as long as it was.

Speaker 3 9:44

Portuguese. It was Portuguese heritage night. Oh, fuck yeah, I love linguisa.

Speaker 2 9:49

Oh, I love linguisa. Oh, spicy shit. I had some Madicajão, some mole, fucking sangria. It was good time.

Speaker 1 9:58

Yeah, damn but.

Speaker 2 9:59

I paid for it Woke up and I just was in a lot of pain.

Speaker 3 10:03

And I also woke up.

Speaker 2 10:05

And it wasn't because I was like from being hungover, it was literally just like acid reflux. Yeah, it's bad.

Speaker 1 10:10

Is that a thing you have?

Speaker 2 10:12

Yeah, it's horrible, that sucks yeah it's fucking terrible.

Speaker 3 10:16

It's crazy, it's a really she's like it really pains her. It's a big hindrance to my life when he pukes what are you doing? Fucking listening to him being so fucking loud.

Speaker 2 10:25

Oh my god, you act like it's like so often.

Speaker 3 10:28

It's so loud. Look at what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 10:31

I know, I'm sorry, I don't know how I got him M. Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough, fair enough, fair enough. Now something interesting that we've discovered as a quadruple in Gabe. Here you can come in. Me and Gabe are opposite, franny and AJ are opposite, and it's funny because we realize this a lot. It just keeps coming up. You feel the same way that Gabe feels, I feel the same way as AJ, but yet we're attracted to the opposite. What's? Up with that.

Speaker 3 11:00

I feel like if you and AJ were together, you guys would kill each other. Yeah, no, yeah. And if Gabe and I were together, we'd be so fucking boring.

Speaker 4 11:09

Dude, we would do fucking nothing probably.

Speaker 1 11:12

So boring, so we're clearly attracted to our opposite.

Speaker 3 11:15

Yeah, you have to have someone who balances you out.

Speaker 1 11:18

Yeah, what does your guys' take on it? Opposites tracked, is that it? Could we elaborate, folks?

Speaker 2 11:24

One person's strengths are the other person's weaknesses, and you balance each other out.

Speaker 4 11:28

Let's name a strength of each other.

Speaker 2 11:29

Okay.

Speaker 4 11:31

Of the other.

Speaker 1 11:32

I think your strength is your patience, nice.

Speaker 3 11:35

I would agree with her strength for you.

Speaker 4 11:37

Okay, is that right?

Speaker 1 11:39

It's really good. You got a lot of it.

Speaker 4 11:41

Shouldn't have gone second, but your strength is probably like your determination. It doesn't matter what it is. It's like I'm doing this, Not my charisma.

Speaker 1 11:49

So what's happening?

Speaker 4 11:49

You want to talk about least favorite things, or?

Speaker 1 11:51

My charisma no, sorry, sorry.

Speaker 4 11:55

No, that you hate my shit, the things that I get to tell you these things.

Speaker 1 11:59

Sorry, I didn't even listen. Determination.

Speaker 3 12:02

That's a really good one.

Speaker 4 12:03

Okay, anyways, go ahead, frank.

Speaker 3 12:07

And with that I would say your confidence. Oh I feel like you always feel like you know what's going on and you know, you know what's going on. He's just always very confident in like his decisions and what he's doing. He's confident, that's all Okay.

Speaker 1 12:27

Kindness, that's about $100.

Speaker 3 12:34

See, we're going to say that.

Speaker 1 12:35

Really you are very kind, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 12:39

But she can be a. Well, she only to me. She'll say stuff to me about that's how I am, Because I live with you.

Speaker 3 12:46

That's, that's Cover.

Speaker 1 12:49

That means you're the safest of the safe, because she knows you'll still love her, no matter how real she is Same.

Speaker 2 12:54

What, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 12:56

Don't you think like I'm?

Speaker 3 12:57

so safe. Don't worry, frank, everybody's a bitch Everybody. I just feel like I just say it how it is, when it needs to be said.

Speaker 2 13:03

But for the most part, I'm very kind, I don't disagree with anything you say.

Speaker 3 13:07

most of the time, even if someone, like in public or like a customer service person, is like not being so nice to me, I'm like, it's okay, they're having a bad day, I'm just going to kill them with the most kindness that I can ever give. Someone in AJ would be like you want to fucking play ball, we'll play ball. And I'm saying and I'm like oh, it's okay, it's so okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 13:30

Fucking same.

Speaker 3 13:31

Yeah, I've seen the bids of you trying to calm her down.

Speaker 4 13:34

Yeah.

Speaker 1 13:36

I put a screenshot of it in the email this week. I was wondering if that's what that was. That was what that was. That was me yelling at the neighbor. That is so funny. So yeah, and now we've gone on double dates a lot and I love them. What do you guys think about them?

Speaker 2 13:50

You're great. Cabo trip was fun.

Speaker 1 13:52

Cabo trip was super fun. You can't travel with every couple, you can't. You can't travel with every one period, you cannot. And I wanted to ask you guys, because you travel a lot, what are your tips for actually making a trip happen, cause we're talk, talk, talk. How the fuck do you actually get your ass to the island or wherever you go?

Speaker 2 14:10

Just bucket.

Speaker 1 14:11

Yeah.

Speaker 3 14:12

You're a very like a person. Worry about the rest.

Speaker 2 14:15

Like, if we're booking, like big trips we usually book.

Speaker 1 14:17

What do you book? First the hotel, the flight, and then you worry about the rest later, everything at once.

Speaker 3 14:22

I feel like usually the flights, though, and then, like we finalize where we want to stay. Have to do it around your flight, but AJ is really good about being like we're doing this, we're going here, we were booking the flights and he just books it. And then I'm like, okay, and how in advance?

Speaker 1 14:36

do you do that.

Speaker 2 14:36

So if we're like, yeah, if we're planning like bigger trips, like six to eight months, probably in advance, Okay, like usually six months.

Speaker 1 14:43

And what do you guys do on vacation that makes it like so good traveling with each other? What do you do Like when you get there, do you both unpack, like what's your like? You must have a routine. What is yours, how?

Speaker 3 14:54

are you? He puts his swim trunks on right away, like we do land on the airport.

Speaker 1 14:59

You put your trunks on in the airport, remember.

Speaker 3 15:01

Sandals and sandals In the fucking airport. That's so true.

Speaker 2 15:04

Most of the time, it's a beach destination.

Speaker 3 15:06

Packs everything in a suitcase except for swim trunks and sandals in the backpack.

Speaker 4 15:13

I fucking remember that that was. That was like people get off and like all right, where are we going?

Speaker 3 15:17

And do you remember that? I looked at both of you and I said well. Aj is going to find the nearest restroom because he's going to go change into his swim trunks.

Speaker 2 15:25

Yeah, Honestly, get my weed pen. Hit the fucking bar right outside the airport.

Speaker 1 15:29

We both got our weed pens immediately.

Speaker 4 15:31

Absolutely, of course, respect.

Speaker 1 15:34

Then you guys get to the room. What do you?

Speaker 3 15:36

do? I feel like I'm a little bit of an organizer. Aj goes immediately out to the balcony to like check out the view, takes a nice Instagram story with a cool, aesthetically pleasing song. I literally remember this happening?

Speaker 1 15:49

Wait, in this order. I remember this happening. Yeah, this is exactly what happens.

Speaker 3 15:53

We went to that room. I usually like get all my stuff put away Me too and then we usually probably go, like depends on where we are, but we're very much like we don't take a break. We either go straight to the beach or straight to like in Portugal. We went straight to our first destination.

Speaker 1 16:07

Now you're not just to be in the room most of the trip.

Speaker 3 16:10

No, there's like probably one night each trip where we're like let's go back early and relax and it's not like we're going out partying. We always like book restaurants in advance because I like to eat.

Speaker 2 16:20

Yeah, usually when we're alone we like don't really go out, because it's kind of funny, because we like went to a club one time and it was like staring at each other.

Speaker 1 16:30

Yeah, no, totally.

Speaker 2 16:32

That's why it's fun going with like groups of people here, but you can't go with just anyone, because some people are fucking annoying to travel with.

Speaker 1 16:38

Like, I'm not going to say that I know that I'm not annoying to travel with, but you guys are not.

Speaker 2 16:44

If you want to part like have a go out and like have a good time, party and whatever, it's like fun or obviously with groups or whatever.

Speaker 1 16:50

Yeah, and you need people who can do both. Like I can have a night where we go fucking hard.

Speaker 3 16:53

I can also just eat dinner, and that's what we did. I feel like we had a good mix of that on that first night with the highlighter party. I RIP to AJ's Vance it exceeded my expectations.

Speaker 1 17:04

that hotel party, yeah I did that really fucking blew my. I still think about it, sometimes in my dreams.

Speaker 4 17:10

Bro talk about heartburn 60. Heartburn talking shit about AJ over here at Harbour now entire trip. Poison just salsa fuel alcohol yeah cheap.

Speaker 3 17:27

Yeah, mixed with sugar syrup.

Speaker 4 17:30

Yeah, hey, on gliss of color. I mean, I had fun, but damn yeah, so. Speaking of things we don't like about each other. We're gonna go enjoy a thing in a second.

Speaker 1 17:41

Okay, I'm gonna direct this podcast. Um, I do want to say I'm sorry that I licked your cheek and I'm looking at you because if you watch that video it's like am I gonna make out with him? Like what am I doing?

Speaker 4 17:54

You know, like, of course not, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 18:02

There's a video where, on my birthday, we're all taking a picture and we're all like this and then I go, I'm a. Lick his cheek.

You know, I thought about this the other day.

Speaker 2 19:58

We gotta we.

Speaker 3 19:59

I don't know if we kiss each other every night.

Speaker 1 20:01

That's the time we do we force each other like roll over bitch?

Speaker 3 20:04

I don't think we do and I think we should make a better point of that.

Speaker 1 20:07

Okay, you guys kiss each other's pee-pees every night. Sorry too much.

Speaker 3 20:15

Also no.

Speaker 1 20:21

Oh, okay, so now what we're gonna do is things that bug husband and wives. Addition and the reason this is fun, because if you're married you get a. So, gabe, first thing that bugs about me, your wife, wow, I think we might need fucking notes for some people.

Speaker 3 21:01

That's a good thing he can't think of anything.

Speaker 4 21:03

Oh yeah, most recently as of yesterday. Yeah, when you help drive, when you help me while I'm driving, like yeah, I'm gonna copy you pretty soon. It's uh, yeah, it's uh, yeah. I feel like we might have the same things. Um, backseat drivers, backseat fucking drivers.

Speaker 2 21:20

You need it. If somebody, can I say the pause really quick. Yeah, we're just gonna. How about we both go in on it, wait no, take a second Are we allowed to give a rebuttal after these?

Speaker 1 21:29

Yeah, after we. Yes, okay, we'll let them go and then we'll talk. So go ahead, Okay.

Speaker 4 21:33

Yeah, these are just, but these are just our things.

Speaker 4 21:35

That's fine All right, so they're valid. All right, um, they are repeat talk anyways. Yeah, so when you help me drive, like if you tell me that three blocks away somebody hit their brake lights, it's a lot, um. And then also, oh, we were going into the Costco parking lot and she was stressed out, which for some reason meant that I needed to be stressed out too like she was. She was embarrassed of me driving, but I was driving, so it was a crowded parking lot. Everybody was being fucking dumb and I was just like, hey, we're gonna get there. When we get there, it's not that big of a deal. And she's like just sinking into her seat. She's like, oh, what if you go here? Not helpful, no, thank you.

Speaker 1 22:14

Thank you AJ.

Speaker 4 22:15

Yeah, pretty much what you, you can just say your own one.

Speaker 2 22:20

Yeah, like backseat driving, like uh, when we're just driving by a semi and you go yeah we're looking at just driving by the semi, the nervous hand, or freaking out. I'm like it's, she knows exactly she knows exactly what you're talking about. I'm like I know there's a car I'm breaking, like everything's all good.

Speaker 4 22:44

If it starts to sprinkle like hey, you should put your.

Speaker 2 22:48

I know I can like certain references, like I know what I'm doing. I'm driving, and most of the time it's like I drive 100 of the time too, so that's why it's also kind of annoying. It's like we can split it. We can go have a half like you want to drive.

Speaker 3 23:01

Every time I say If you want me to drive, you say no, her butters are gonna be like.

Speaker 2 23:05

Sometimes you make me feel insane if you go a little too fast.

Speaker 3 23:09

You go a little too fast.

Speaker 2 23:13

Ask me how many accidents I've been in.

Speaker 3 23:15

Ask me how many accidents I've been in none. Ask how many accidents we've almost been in with you driving.

Speaker 4 23:22

Oh my god, you cannot say almost your turn to rebuttal.

Speaker 3 23:25

I think that I often feel unsafe when you drive, and also Sometimes my side vision is off and so a car looks closer Then it acts.

Speaker 2 23:38

I'm supposed to feel bad because she's like saying, it's like a medical condition.

Speaker 3 23:45

You know what I have to say yeah, hit him. I just feel like you you own the road and you don't hold on, we can't just all do driving we also.

Speaker 4 23:56

We also have so many.

Speaker 2 23:58

Like San Francisco too. When you're driving in San Francisco, you have to drive aggressively. It's a lot like if you don't drive in San Francisco, you're in, you're in the car, it's probably me, but it's like, babe, we've been working San.

Speaker 3 24:09

Francisco. Yeah, I feel super safe when I drive in San Francisco.

Speaker 1 24:13

Okay, okay, next, yeah, okay so next, what's your next thing that bugs Okay.

Speaker 3 24:18

This is my favorite one.

Speaker 4 24:19

AJ, should I be careful with that part? Sorry, production, I'm just like.

Speaker 1 24:24

I'm a production assistant here.

Speaker 4 24:28

Well, fuck.

Speaker 3 24:28

I feel like he says he says we'll cut that out.

Speaker 1 24:31

Yeah, he's getting cut it out who is this fucking guy?

Speaker 4 24:35

What do you mean? I've been no, aj, aj.

Speaker 3 24:40

Okay, anyway, lol. My first thing that bugs is that Everything he does is so loud His cough so loud, his sneeze so fucking loud, and his orgasm, no, the worst of all is when you blow your fucking nose. It is so loud he's.

Speaker 1 25:08

He's woken up whole households from blowing his nose, do you think the first time you heard those things?

Speaker 3 25:13

where you're like holy shit. The first time I heard him blow his nose I I questioned some things. I was like, wow, this is so fucking loud like it gives me a little irk every time.

Speaker 1 25:25

I'm like Totally, totally, totally, are you crying? Change the shop it's fine, my things, the bug and I know people have said this in the world you take years to shit oh my god, it's annoying and he leaves the fan on. You leave the fan on in the bathroom for about four hours, after go turn it off.

Speaker 4 25:50

As a courtesy, fuck me right.

Speaker 3 25:53

Four hours is a long time.

Speaker 1 25:55

And it's like every time I look up you're in the bathroom. Every time I look up, you're shitting. But it's not shitting. I hear videos. I hear stupid videos.

Speaker 4 26:04

Yeah, live a little. Who's it back to me?

Speaker 1 26:06

Okay, and Gabe, make it concise as a production assistant. I just fucking do your thing go.

Speaker 4 26:11

Oh yeah, okay. So when you Put my things away for me, that I put somewhere, just okay. I know my keys were supposed to be right here, cuz I fucking put them there. Where are they now? Oh, there's. You know, fucking, I put them over here or I put them where they belong. I put them where they belong.

Speaker 2 26:28

No, no, no okay, yeah, I'm literally the same exact thing, like the tongs for the barbecue. She like she put in our coffee cart where the fuck have the tongs?

Speaker 3 26:39

for the last two weeks Sitting on top of the coffee cart. Right now it's on my list. You never put your barbecue tongs away, so I have to move on. You come down, because they sit there for two weeks.

Speaker 2 26:55

I'm with you, sister.

Speaker 1 26:56

It's gonna be okay, sister.

Speaker 2 26:57

Christian, I'm with you, yeah like Gabe said, there's randomly put stuff in random spots. I'm like why do you put it there? Because it goes and takes like my things and puts it places.

Speaker 4 27:07

Okay, can you put that away or whatever, and I put it away. You're like, that's not where it goes.

Speaker 1 27:11

I was on top of the bed. That's not a fucking dresser.

Speaker 4 27:14

My clothes are not dirty yet.

Speaker 1 27:17

Gabe likes to wear something and then leave it on top of the bed for days because it's not dirty.

Speaker 4 27:21

The fuck is that trying to save laundry man. No, it's save the environment.

Speaker 3 27:25

Sorry, franny, it's your turn well, I was gonna say, when you can't find something and You're like looking all over for it and it's the biggest deal ever, and I'm like, okay, well, it's somewhere in the house, we can all just calm down, we're gonna find it. And then usually I know exactly where it is. Often it's right in front of your face. But sometimes I tell you where it is and you're like no, wasn't there.

Speaker 1 27:49

And then I go look and it's right there Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 3 27:53

Like, for example, the other day he couldn't find his passport biggest fucking deal. Stomp into the house, fuck, fuck, fuck my fucking Passport. And I'm like the fucking passport somewhere in here. I'm like did you check your backpack that you take on every vacation? And he's like it's not in there. Mike's probably in there. And then he's like I found my passport. Mike, where was it in there? It was in the backpack. Yeah, you said yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Nothing to say cuz it's no no, but on that one.

Speaker 1 28:18

No, mine is um Gabe wanting the cheap version of everything, every single thing. It's like Bruton discount or well, it's not on discount, so we can't get it, or we can return it, like the harper just tore up a toy. We're taking pictures of it. We're sending it back because we can get it for free because it every single thing. It's we got a discount our pizza tonight. Folks like sometimes I don't want the cheap version and Sometimes that's the team, the full price.

Speaker 3 28:43

Sometimes I just want Grey goose did you know that Kirkland and Grey goose are the same exact thing?

Speaker 1 28:48

You might have to have a debate with my mom.

Speaker 3 28:50

I have had this debate with your mom previously. What? Did you say she said I was incorrect.

Speaker 1 28:54

There's so much science on that.

Speaker 3 28:56

It's really the same. They're made of the exact same placebo next.

Speaker 4 29:00

I'm right.

Speaker 1 29:01

Okay, good.

Speaker 2 29:02

So we have two sides of the sink. There's gonna be a little multiple here. I love it we have two sides of the sink, right, if there's anything out on my side. She makes a big deal about it Like it's like the end of the fucking world, but she's allowed to leave her hair shitting her out every fucking day. And not that it's annoying that it's out, it's annoying that it has the like the cord with the plug at the end that I fucking step on and it Bust your fucking foot it does and it's happened so many times and it's so annoying.

Speaker 2 29:33

And then also in the bathroom Is she like uses my side, like to like put her makeup in the mirror, like, or like do seven in the man, like I'm here, like Move over, like what are you doing?

Speaker 3 29:46

Damn Franny, it's just really true. I will say that your, my straightener, like, matches the color of the room, your grinding thing. The box is bright blue and it just it doesn't. It sticks out, you know, doesn't go with the interior, it just doesn't match anything. My straightener doesn't bother me because it's black, but the, the mouth guard it's bright blue and I can just really see it.

Speaker 1 30:11

You know fair. What about the cord stop?

Speaker 3 30:13

Well could we leave the butt on the counter? I mean, it's not hard to just kick the court under the counter. Sorry, sorry, I don't. I've never once stepped on the court. It sounds like a him problem. Okay, fair enough when you start the car before I'm ready to leave. Hate that.

Speaker 2 30:30

Okay, so I do this because it's literally proven you should heat up your car.

Speaker 3 30:34

No, you do that because you're like it's time to go.

Speaker 2 30:38

No, I don't. I do that for my car, do that for your car. It's literally like proven it's, it's better.

Speaker 3 30:45

Okay, do you make you feel rushed? Yes, I get anxiety and then I feel stressed.

Speaker 2 30:49

It's cold, it heats up the car if it's hot because, you guys carpool for the cherries yeah not for the cherries. Just good, it's gonna make that clear.

Speaker 4 31:10

No, the cherries, bro, the cherries, the listeners, the what?

Speaker 2 31:18

chairs no, cherries, it's cherries Like.

Speaker 1 31:23

I said trees.

Speaker 3 31:24

I'll give you that the cherries are tips listeners, so she said for the cherries.

Speaker 2 31:31

Mmm, please over the trees, like we're saving the trees my car.

Speaker 3 31:37

Oh, my god, okay. Well, not that I'm in full volunteers, oh that's so funny.

Speaker 1 31:42

My thing that bugs is that you're always in a bad mood the first day you get off of it. Fucking annoying. It's a whole 24 hours that I just can't use Because he's so pissy.

Speaker 4 31:53

I'm just tired, I think.

Speaker 2 31:54

But yeah, now I know one of Francesca's biggest strengths is also one of her Town falls okay, oh being too kind sometimes and so why does this get you into trouble? Sometimes people just walk all over and it pisses me off. It's hard.

Speaker 3 32:10

Yeah, an example sir.

Speaker 2 32:12

Oh my god.

Speaker 3 32:13

Exactly, you know name.

Speaker 2 32:15

an example I'm not gonna give specific examples.

Speaker 1 32:18

Well, I definitely happens like sometimes your kindness gets you into tricky situations, or just saying no to people that I don't want to say.

Speaker 2 32:26

That's the biggest that's the biggest thing right there. It's thing is not being able to say no cuz she wants to appease myself other people, mm-hmm I. Yeah for the benefit for the down for like for the negative impact on her. She's willing to please others.

Speaker 1 32:40

Yes.

Speaker 2 32:42

It's nice, but sometimes it's like you know yeah.

Speaker 1 32:45

No, it's a double-sided coin. Yeah.

Speaker 3 32:48

I understand that. I don't feel like it was really fitting for this segment. I don't feel like that really. Oh, that's okay, that was nice, that's fine.

Speaker 2 32:57

Whoa. I have no rebuttal for it. I just don't think it was fitting Whoa. It's okay, you can exclude that.

Speaker 4 33:07

Don't worry, we can get everything, all right.

Speaker 3 33:09

When I'm doing anything, which is most of the time.

Speaker 4 33:12

I'm always doing things.

Speaker 3 33:13

It just fucking comes up behind me and hums me. I can be with a sharp fucking knife. I know it A sharp fucking knife and I'm like turn around with the knife. That's a compliment, and sometimes I don't think about stabbing him, but I have knives in my hands when I'm doing it or I'm folding up his asshole.

Speaker 4 33:30

What, what? No, okay, keep reading your list. You're premeditating.

Speaker 3 33:37

Okay, when I tell you that we're doing something, and you're like on your phone and you're like, yeah, yeah, sounds good, yeah, uh-huh, okay. And then like, when the time comes that we're gonna do it, you're like you never told me this. What did these plans come from?

Speaker 1 33:52

Short-term memory. Short-term memory.

Speaker 3 33:54

The next one is just questioning my purchases in general.

Speaker 2 33:58

You spend too much money.

Speaker 3 33:59

Well.

Speaker 2 34:00

Amazon.

Speaker 3 34:01

I don't even know what you spend because I don't see the credit card, so I can't even question your purchases.

Speaker 2 34:06

Not as much as you.

Speaker 3 34:08

Well, okay, that's probably true.

Speaker 2 34:10

That's fine.

Speaker 3 34:13

Okay, I think this is my. Oh no, I have two more.

Speaker 2 34:15

Okay, okay, hit us.

Speaker 3 34:16

The next one is when I ask you to pick up Brody's poop and you look at me and you say, well, I picked it up two days ago and that wasn't the fucking question.

Speaker 2 34:26

Ooh Wow.

Speaker 3 34:29

Lastly, you know, when you get like secondhand embarrassment from for someone where you like feel embarrassed for somebody. Yes, okay. So sometimes I go outside to water my lemon trees or what have you? Go get the mail if you will. Yeah, lemon trees. Well, I killed one of them. I only have a lime tree standing. Oh no, the lemon tree is sun burnt to a crisp Sun burnt tree. I'm trying to bring it back to life. I've yeah.

Speaker 1 34:55

Bring me back to life.

Speaker 3 34:57

We'll see if it works out, but sometimes when I walk outside, aj takes a shower and he opens the window.

Speaker 1 35:05

Shows you his dick.

Speaker 3 35:07

Nope, couldn't see it from up there, whoa. It's not what I meant. It's tall. That's not what I meant, jesus.

Speaker 2 35:15

What a dick.

Speaker 3 35:17

You wouldn't be able to see it. That's not what I meant. No, he plays his music and he sings to the top of his lungs and the whole fucking neighborhood can absolutely hear this man. He sings in a country accent.

Speaker 4 35:30

Hold on. That's a really funny thing, because when you said that about senior dick the other day, we were hanging out with our friends and she said something she was talking about. She's like I'm so glad that he gave to us Because she's like, who wants?

Speaker 1 35:44

that I met over crazy. I'm like an average dick, I didn't mean it back. You know what I mean. I don't know. Oh my God, I feel like they also don't want to hear the word average. Honestly, this is on my list.

Speaker 4 35:59

It's funny because she doesn't see it at all.

Speaker 1 36:01

I think that means something to me. I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 3 36:04

I think that men just have a weird complex about this in general. I'll never forget the first time I went down to San Diego. We were eating dinner and we were talking and I don't even know what happened. I said something, probably like I just said 10 minutes ago, and didn't mean it Right, and AJ was so offended, ruined the whole dinner and he's like that would be like me telling you you have small boobs. I'm like, well, I do, like I don't care.

Speaker 4 36:32

I don't know what we're talking about anymore. Sorry, I definitely lost our strength.

Speaker 1 36:36

For my final three things. That bug about you. You sleep in your underwear every night, it doesn't matter what temperature. That's weird. What it could be snow, and you have to join me, oh you mean like no PJs. Yeah, I'll never sleep in my underwear.

Speaker 4 36:45

Yeah, I run hot, I run a little hot.

Speaker 1 36:47

But every night.

Speaker 3 36:48

What do you wear? Fastball shorts Most of the time, but if you get hot, sometimes you do wake up stripped down and you don't even remember this guy's just naked new every night.

Speaker 1 36:57

Not letting me join your fantasy football league that bugged, because that is so bugged, I agree. Yeah, because I really wanted to play and I would like to play yeah.

Speaker 2 37:05

Francesca, you hate football.

Speaker 1 37:07

I do too, but I want to be included. But I want to bet money in. Can we do our own league? We?

Speaker 3 37:14

can do our own league and then they won't be included. Yeah, it's annoyed and I'm going to pick Travis Kelsey on my team.

Speaker 1 37:19

Yeah for the sweetest, I'm going to pick Joe Burrow Hotty. Who's that? Ugh, let me show you.

Speaker 3 37:23

Who's that? I'm going to pick the Jimmy G guy. Don't know what team he's on anymore, but that's what I'm going to pick. He's hot. I think it's Garoppolo.

Speaker 2 37:33

Yep.

Speaker 1 37:34

I got it. You won't let me cuddle you whenever I want Same your version of flirting is going hot when I walk in the room with makeup on. Oh my God, kevin, I really hate this.

Speaker 3 37:44

Like he won't even.

Speaker 1 37:46

Yeah, it's like, that's it. Like I used to have a guy who would write me poems about the color of my eyes, like you're kidding, and the last thing is you're fucking messy everywhere you go Mess, mess, mess. Okay. Well, thank you everyone for playing and we're going to go to Nashville together. So stay tuned folks. Yeah, we got a plan. Yeah, anything else anyone wants to say while they have a mic?
