Speaker: The W word when you're referring to women, think is deplorable. I just think I don't like the C word when we're talking about women. The W word I can like manage, but the C word, which is all the trend right now, call each other that. I don't get it. You know, I actually, I mean, I am more modest and I too kind of I don't think women should be like flaunting their assets while they're working out. I mean, is it just to get attention? i mean, I'm more, I don't want people looking at me. I'm like, like can I lift this ten bow?
Speaker: period Leave me alone. and mean, I actually feel the opposite. like I think you should be able to do whatever you want. I think there are some women, though, that are trying to get the attention as That was my only point. Yeah. well i mean and that but And that's fine. But like they're working out. They're not like call girls and you don't get to judge that. Like, yeah yes, I just think we had to be very careful about how we talk about people. And for whatever reason, I feel like women are under fire for certain stuff and about um and I don't understand it. Welcome to Three Little Fishes.
Speaker: We're three sisters who grew up in the Midwest together but have since spread across the country. i live in Los Angeles. I'm in Nashville. And I live in Philadelphia.

Speaker: young and now it's really acting up as I'm getting older. So I started PT this week and I had my, you know, every time you start PT again, you have to get reevaluated.
Speaker: So I went yesterday to get reevaluated and work with this guy and Honest to God, it's like I live in Los Angeles and he could have been like scripted for like this like role of like being this hot PT guy. So I'm like in pain trying to do PT, but I'm like hot. I'm like flushed because this guy is like touching me and I'm just like, wait, what is happening here? Like I am a psycho. You got the leading man PT guy, right? Is that what I'm hearing? Okay. Yes, but I'm like, don't know I can work with you. mean, things could be worse. This is a Baywatch situation. I mean, who sweats when they get nervous when, like, good-looking people are around? It's weird. Everybody does that, don't they? I mean, it's like a little – I'm like a sitcom sketch. Adrenaline? Like, I need, like, you know –
Speaker: a fan constantly on me it's ridiculous but that's him being nerdy and like not attractive yeah can you be really nerdy and sweet like and good at your job like keep the good looks out of it that's how my dermatologist is i'm like it's fine if you see me naked because i'm like you're nerdy ah
Speaker: I mean, that that's funny. Going to the dermatologist, it is a weird thing that you have to strip down. It's like there's no privacy, but you have to do it. You have to it. Do the skin check. yeah I'm like, whatever.
Speaker: but Okay, you guys. um On today's pod, we're going to talk about what's the buzz, jury duty, and what's for dinner. But before we get into it... Please remember to rate, review, send us a comment, invite your favorite fishes to jump in and join our conversation. Okay, what's the buzz?
Speaker: Well, can I just start off this off with talking about Sydney Sweeney because... I know you're obsessed with her You're obsessed with Sydney Sweeney. We talked about her a couple weeks ago and how she did this ad. She's killing it.
Speaker: um for Novig, which is like a gambling site. And like everybody was up in arms about how she's flaunting her body. and like But I want to tell you that her flaunting her body paid off because that company was valued at $500 million evaluation. And now it's billion dollar evaluation so yeah Her body works. It's amazing. Good for her. Bang body. i mean I mean, talking about like bang and body, it's like, I mean, I wonder what Shane Gillis would say about that. Did you hear about him? I did.
Speaker: He was on Saturday Night Live. Yeah. And he called women the W word that wear really fitted clothes at a gym. And I have to say like, I normally don't, I'm normally not that, you know. Sensitive. Sensitive.
Speaker: Yeah, like sensitive about stuff. Is that true? Well, I mean, the W word when you're referring to women, I think is deplorable. And I just think – I don't like the C word when we're talking about women. Yeah, no. The word I can like manage, but the C word, which is all the trend right now, call each other that. don't get it. You know, I actually – I mean, I am more modest and I too kind of – I don't think women should be like flaunting their assets while they're working out. I mean, is it just to get attention? I mean, I'm more, I don't want people looking at me. I'm like, I'm like, can I lift this 10 pounds?
Speaker: Leave me alone. I mean, I actually feel the opposite. Like I think women should be able to wear whatever they want. I wear leggings all the time. i do wear them out. I probably put a sweatshirt over, but like when I'm doing Pilates, I don't want anything like moving and being flowy and writing up. And, you know, like I could never wear like sweatpants due to do Pilates because the pants would like fly up to my knees, which ah would distract me from what I'm trying to do. So, yeah.
Speaker: I mean, and I, I don't know, but wearing tight clothes is not an invitation for sex, you know, so get yourselves under control boys. And i agree with that statement. You know, and if you have a, you know, I think you should be able to do whatever you want. I think there are some women, though, that are trying to get the attention. is That was my only point. Yeah, probably. And that's fine. But like they're working out. They're not like call girls. And you don't get to judge that. like yeah Yes. I just think we had to be very careful about how we talk about people. And for whatever reason, I feel like women are under fire for certain stuff.
Speaker: and about um And I don't understand it. I just don't understand why they are being talked about in such a negative, deplorable way. Well, I will say um kudos to Dan Levy, who like went right out onto social media and called that guy out. And he was like, do better, boys. We do not talk about our women like this. This is not OK. I love him. so he got some high fives from a lot of women in the business. so I appreciate it. I'm here for it. like We love you.
Speaker: um So speaking of women, a woman another woman who hit the news or in the buzz this week is Selma Blair. Yeah, she lost her mind.
Speaker: She i kind of went crazy on a flight from l LA to New York. didn' You guys heard about this, right? Like she completely lost it, was irate. I think she bit a flight attendant.
Speaker: I think she punched somebody or hit somebody, kicked somebody. like She got strapped down in the flight and then like arrested and sent to the hospital where she proceeded to kick a nurse. like I don't know what was going on. I know she is medically challenged. She has like a severe case of MS. I think she...
Speaker: probably was medicated or something was going on where she went ballistic, but like, that's not okay. And if you can't get on a plane and mind your manners, then don't get on a plane.
Speaker: but Yeah, totally agree. Just don't do it. She's out on $20,000 bail I saw this morning and she looked very distraught and emotional. I saw something like she posted some gibberish. I was like, she has to be on some drugs. It didn't even make sense said. Something's going on.
Speaker: Like something's wrong. Something's wrong. was like, she's got some sort of like psychosis or a drug and do something. You need some intervention, I think. I don't know. i don't know. i But feel bad for she's really- Even if you don't feel well, you do not get to bite people. you do not get to kick people. You do not get to like cause a disturbance in the plane. You don't get to like kick the officer that is arresting you. Like yeah get your shit in order, girl. This is not good.
Speaker: Biting people- That's so good. That's good. yeah That's crazy. Biting people is ah is a is a it's a no. It's a oh We learned this when we were two. No biting.
Speaker: yeah I do think it's unfortunate because she's done a lot of work with MS. I know. It's very sad, actually. feel sad for Yeah. I mean, hopefully she can figure out what's going on and kind of get back to where she needs to be. It's embarrassing. It's totally embarrassing. Like, come on.
Speaker: yeah Don't bite people. yeah and up Okay. right. Also, so to over the weekend, Johanna got to go celebrate with a friend and they went to Six Flags and she was so excited to ride all the roller coasters. But now it's coming out that Six Flags is stopping some of their rides. i know. Because they're super dangerous. Like what, but there's one specific ride. think it was Goliath or something. It was the Goliath in Georgia. So this incident happened in Georgia.
Speaker: and I don't know why, but there's six other parks that closed a specific roller coaster. And they're not all called the Goliath.
Speaker: And I don't know if they're like similar roller coasters. And they this person fell out of their seat and like... Crashed around and died. so yeah and Six Flags hasn't said anything like, they do daily safety checks, they say, but they don't know why this happened. And I don't know why, they don't weren't really specific as to why they closed these other um ride these other roller coasters. So hopefully they'll figure that out. Like going to an amusement park is supposed to be a fun day. Yeah. That's not fun.
Speaker: That you're going to die. i mean, that just. Well, I always thought that like six flags and these permanent structures were more safe than the pop-up ones. You know, all those like little carnivals that pop up in the summer and they're kind of this like traveling yeah entertainment thing. i always was like, we're not getting on those rides. Like, They just put it up last night. i saw the truck. And, you know, it's like these people that you kind of are like, it's sketchy.
Speaker: But now I'm kind of wondering, like, what's going on? These are permanent. They should be more safe. well they People should not be falling out of their seats to their death. ah They're trying to have an experience be like super high speed. And I think this is where we're getting to too much into the danger zone, right? Yeah.
Speaker: i mean I mean, clearly, like whip like whipping around, like neck injuries, head injuries. Like I've never been a roller coaster fan. and This just is kind of like. like it makes I used to love them. Now they make me sick. But i love I used to love them. But now I'm like terrified. How sad is that? that i mean, it's horrible. died Yeah, it's horrible. Hopefully they'll figure it out.
Speaker: Okay, you guys, I was taking Riley to school today and we were listening to pop rocks on satellite radio. And I'm going to ask you this question because I thought it was interesting. So he had a caller call in and the caller asked, I'm starting to talk to this guy and we were texting and we're having a good texting conversation. But then I realized that something seemed kind of off that maybe it's coming from AI.
Speaker: And she's just like, should I be worried that he is too lazy to text? Is this a red flag? And I am thinking to myself, yes, girl, run. It is a red flag. What do you guys think?
Speaker: he He had AI response him? Yeah. That's what she suspects. That's what she suspects. I mean, there are those people that are not creative, so they ask their friend. like There's like all kinds of stories. like What should I say? What should I do? But like...
Speaker: Yeah, I agree. That's that's a red flag. go I mean, oh go i mean you're you're so dumb. You can't be a free thinker. Or my real crazy cons conspiracy theory goes to, oh my gosh, you're just trying to say the right thing and get me out in public and then kidnap me or something. like but What was she asking?
Speaker: who she I don't know. i don't think it I don't think it mattered. I think it was like, i think she was just... I mean, let's use our own words. I don't know. sir Let's use our own words.
Speaker: oh um just Okay, you guys, what else is in the buzz? I had something else I was going to talk to you about. oh Amanda Seyfried. Oh, yes. Seyfried.
Speaker: Seyfried. Yeah, so I really like her. do She's a really talented actress. She's so good. And she was just talking about how she is saying no to roles now that are have sex in them, like the sex scene. She's just like, you know, our job is weird and I'm just feeling weird about it. She's just like, I didn't used to, but now I have kids and just, I'm don't, I just don't want to do it. Just for right now, it's no for me. And I thought this was super interesting because I've always heard or people, actresses and actors always talk about, it's just a role. It's not real. It's just make-believe. So you, you know, you don't even think about it. Well, how, I mean, do we really know how far they
Speaker: I mean, I'm not on the scene. I don't know. are you Are you implying that when they're having it pretend sex that they're really doing it? No, they're not. No. They're not. No. But they probably get close.
Speaker: I mean, I think... i mean, you have... She's not the only one. There's that guy, um what's his name? Neil mcdowell McDowell. He was in like Minority Report, Yellowstone, Justified. He always plays the bad guy. Red.
Speaker: um Yeah, I've got yeah those blue eyes with the blonde hair. Anyway, he doesn't do sex scenes or even kiss anybody else out of respect for his wife. He's like a devout Catholic and yeah he has been known in the business and he was sort of blacklisted a little bit, but he has consistently worked.
Speaker: I mean, I think you have to just follow your own heart. I don't i don't have any idea. I've never been. i mean, uncomfortable. It seems like a weird thing to kiss people as your job or have like fake sex with your...
Speaker: co-workers, but I mean, it's the job. You're storytelling. They now have um intimacy coordinators on yeah set. like So, you know, there's like camera people, there's crew. I mean, i mean it's not sexy.
Speaker: It's not sexy. It's not intimate. Like, it's a different thing, but I'm not an actress. I'm not an actor. i have no idea. but But it has to be real. like it Like, it has to seem real. So it has to get probably to the point, like...
Speaker: Well, hence, this is hence why we're not actresses, because we probably just couldn't separate the two. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Okay, you guys. So terrible um moving moving on.
Speaker: So I recently got my first, um I got summons for jury duty. And it was the first time that i actually had to go and report for jury duty. in the past, I just, I didn't have to um So i thought it'd be interesting to maybe talk about, you know, jury duty and all that, just briefly talk about my experience and what that was like. All right, so let's jump in.
Speaker: Well, you know, Nancy, i have lived in Tennessee for about six years now, and I haven't been called for jury duty, but I did several times when I lived in Illinois, and I always got out of it.
Speaker: And I got out of it because my husband was traveling all the time. we didn't have anybody in the area and we had little kids. So I would like panic, like, oh my gosh, there's no way I can be on jury duty, especially if it lasts for a while because nobody can take care of my children.
Speaker: And um so I would write letters to the state and I got out of it. And after the third try of them trying, cause like I would get out of and and then Six months later, they would send me another summons. And after my third one, they just gave up on me and stopped summoning me.
Speaker: um i think it's becoming harder to do that now, though. I know. And I do, like, upon reflection, feel a little bit bad. But I legitimately felt like there's just no way I could do it. I would have to hire somebody or he would have take off time. And, like, what if – and this was kind of, like, on the heels of, like, that O.J. Simpson trial that took for months. Like, can you imagine being on a jury for, like – Well, you're going way back, O.J. Simpson. Well, my youngest child now is in his 20s, so this was a while ago. i'm sure I'm going to get a Salman from Tennessee very soon because I'm on air, but um yeah, I mean...
Speaker: Getting out of jury duty is a thing and it sounds bad, but. This is impacting my family as well because my youngest or my oldest son actually got a summons last summer and he was like, mom,
Speaker: they want me to come like in August when school starts. I'm like, well, you better send them an email saying you are going to be back at school whatever. you're going to be out of state. I think he sent the email and I don't think we ever got confirmation. So, I mean, he could maybe have a summons. There's a bench warrant out for your oldest.
Speaker: But then my husband actually got summoned as well, but it made me think like, When did this start? Like trials- I know you're always interested in history of stuff, which kind of love about you. Well, I am. liked it. Yeah. Well, I'm just like, you know, how in the world did this all start?
Speaker: But trials stay back to 1215. twelve fifteen King John I in England granted citizens power to have a trial and have a so a civil and a criminal a criminal trial.
Speaker: And then the American colonies in the U.S. in 1630 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, had their first trial. And a guy was accused of shooting another person and was found guilty. And he got hanged. But...
Speaker: That would be but i mean a great way. These were like the first citizen trials that know you know started our legal system. So um I think it's important we know that.
Speaker: Yeah. Well, so like piggybacking off of that, it kind of got me thinking about like just our civic duty and like what makes us unique as a country and why we do it. So like just as a quick, just quick show the five pillars that like I think to think about are it's the check on government power.
Speaker: It's the voice of the people. It's our constitutional right. Have diverse perspectives and insights and trust. So it's The insights and trust is giving civilians a realistic look inside the courtroom and kind of just making sure it's all working how it should um and making sure we're bringing people from different populations to to listen and hear the evidence. um Which is all amazing, but it's also, you don't get to work. You have to, it usurps your time and energy. you don't know if you'll get picked. You don't make any money. Yeah. You know, I mean, there's a lot of bad stuff that goes on with getting selected for jury duty as well. So like, it's important, but like, it's also sort of like a flawed system in my opinion.
Speaker: Well, it can be really hard on the people, jurors that are pulled, right? Like it is it is a sacrifice. It's a time commitment. um It is hard. it is hard and I mean, what if you're working paycheck to paycheck and you can't work for a week because, you know, and you're getting your $9 day.
Speaker: I mean, I mean, that's crazy. did it you, Nancy? Like, tell us about your experience. So for us, you know, it just affects me because I'm the soul, like I am married and I have a partner and not to say that he's not a good dad, but he, you know, has a very intense job and he's not, he's busy doing work to make money to pay for our living and I am and so responsible for the kids and everything else around it so you know it just when you're not set up to have help when you have young kids it's very difficult to try to rearrange and manage your schedule to make sure everybody's needs are getting met ah met because I was gone from you know eight o'clock in the morning and then I would get home like at dinner time and that's like having a normal job for sure but that's not what my family's used to yeah so it was it was
Speaker: something we had to get used to and we managed. And luckily my kids are older now. So I was able to help and use my resources around me to help give us support.
Speaker: But that I'll just tell you a little bit about like this case because I thought I didn't know what to expect when I went. So Los Angeles is huge. So for me, I didn't have to go all the way downtown. i got to go to Van Nuys, which was closer.
Speaker: So like how far of a drive? So it was like with traffic, it was like probably like 25 to 30 minutes. So, I mean, it's a commitment. I have to like plan for it and then you have plan for traffic or whatever. So like my first day I'm going down there, i'm like, okay, this is going to easy. I'm just reporting and I'm sure that they're going to be like, sweet, you showed up, like just go ahead and go. But that's not how it works.
Speaker: So you like show up, you're in this room and then you get, you know, Anyway, long story short, I got picked for jury. Jury to decide. course you did. It took two days to pick a jury. So then got picked. Oh, wow.
Speaker: And then the trial started. And so I will just say it was like, so was fascinating. So the, and there's breaks in your day. So like you have like court and there's other court, other cases going on at the same time as yours, like other court business. So there's a lot of waiting. So you're not there in the courtroom, you know, for eight hours a day. It's like broken up by a couple hours at a time. Did you get to take your laptop and so do they have internet or like, how's that work?
Speaker: So I could, there was a, I did take my computer. And so when I had breaks or lunch breaks, there was a library close, like across the way. And I just would hide there and do, and do work.
Speaker: Um, but I will just tell you for this case, the judge was like, you guys, I really appreciate you guys. This is a sacrifice. The system only works because you're here. Thank you for your time.
Speaker: This case is going to go super fast. It's not, it's not a hard case. It's a one count. We should get through it. Uh, it took a really long time. It was a young prosecutor who was very excited to use all the words in the dictionary every single time she talked. So, but so your person was on trial for what?
Speaker: So my person was on trial. So this is where it kind of was interesting. So my person was on trial for Um, burglary um But the judge did some, I was so on, on trial for burglary, but our judge was going to give us an out when we went to deliberate that it would, he's either burglary or shoplifting or not get, or not guilty.
Speaker: So burglary has like. So burglary is significant because burglary is like intent. Intent to hurt somebody. Yeah. Intimidation, intent to hurt somebody. Like you tick up. It's it's severe, right? Okay. So this this person happens to be unhoused.
Speaker: He's, you know, a booster. Like he's known for like shoplifting. That's just how he like makes a living. So they have him on tape. in the store opening up a box for an electric scooter. He's literally putting the scooter together in the store and you watch him get on the scooter and literally ride the scooter through the store and like out the door where they stop him. So security's watching him this whole time. I mean, why not just stop him? Like, dude,
Speaker: what are you doing? that I have no idea. Yeah, why did I put it together? but you know you listen to you listen to like you know the people in the store, you listen to like the security and the management.
Speaker: and did he Was he shoplifting? 100% sure. But I don't think that he told them he had a knife. Yeah, because he had to open his box. Yeah, he wasn't.
Speaker: I don't believe he was trying to hurt somebody or intimidate. I think he wanted a scooter because he was tired of walking around. Yeah. And that's what he wanted. And I don't think they de-escalated the situation. I think it got really...
Speaker: Tricky. So did he get um convicted? So the interesting thing is, is that we could all agree that this guy was shoplifting. the trick was you had to follow the law. So what I appreciate about the judge was, is that he's like, listen, it's the prosecution's job, their sole job to prove that he broke the law of like, and he, they print out what the law is. So if you can find fault that he did all these things in the law, then that's what you have to do. That's guilty.
Speaker: But if you can't, then it's maybe it's shoplifting, but you have to agree that it's all these things or nobody proves anything. I got you. So I found that interesting. He's like, it doesn't really matter what the defense says. It really matters what the prosecution is saying. They have their job that they have... that they prove what he's being charged for. So yeah I somehow became the foreperson. I was nominated. I don't know any of these people. And they're like, we nominate you. Like, what? so I find that so funny.
Speaker: So anyway, we we were able to... At the end of the day, i do like it was basically shoplifting in our opinion. So he did have consequences. But I will tell you something really embarrassing.
Speaker: When you are the foreperson and you're putting together, you have all these papers. So you're not allowed to take- The foreman, right? It's a foreman. for For person, for a man. Like, I don't know. Does it matter?
Speaker: I don't know. um But you have to like write on like the judgment. So it's like guilty or not guilty for this charge. Guilty or not guilty for this charge or like whatever. So I had all these papers, but I only signed...
Speaker: the paper that we found for him for shoplifting. And then I left everything behind. And so as the judge is like doing this thing, we come in he's like opening up the envelope and he's like, for person, where's the rest of the papers? I'm like, what? and he's just like, you didn't do this right. To the jury room, you go.
Speaker: yeah You're guilty, Nancy. You're guilty. So I did it wrong. So it's like, it's like all those voting slips, even if you don't, sign them, they have to be returning that envelope envelope, which was not made clear to me. But the judge said he made it clear. Agree to disagree, judge. Yeah. But and you're adorable. But but but anyway, so like we got to figure it out and we did our verdict or whatever. And I didn't hear like what the consequences were. but I will tell you, I'll tell you what I found when I was being a juror that
Speaker: The positives of it, like it was hard for me to do it, but the positives were, i thought this judge was fair and honest and he, I liked how he managed the courtroom. I felt like all the jury people that I met were trying their hardest to listen and do their best.
Speaker: And then honestly, i feel like there's so much negative stuff happening in our world right now. It actually made me feel hopeful about like our process, that it's working and that there's a lot of good people out there trying to just do their best. Yeah. So it's good I'm glad at the end of the day that I actually got to sit on the jury. It was very interesting. And I kind of feel a little hopeful that like, you know,
Speaker: Maybe some things work. So like this happened in our household. Like i was telling you, my oldest, Grayson, had this. And then my husband just had this as well, like this last past week, Nancy.
Speaker: So like here's your experience. And then Peter had to go and he was like, I'm getting out of it yeah ah It was like a Friday and he's like, I'll be home soon. I'm getting out of this because I don't have time. I have to go to Nashville for work. He's like, I'm um totally getting now this.
Speaker: Friday night, he calls. He's like, Kathy, I think I'm i'm in this. I'm like, what? It was like 7 o'clock at night, and they still had not decided. Well, he he got picked to be the 13th juror, which is like- An alternate. There's only 12 jurors, but he's the alternate. And he's like, you wouldn't believe it, but I'm it. I'm it. I'm like- Oh my gosh. I do believe it. Congrats.
Speaker: Yeah. So what did he think of it? So he did a whole week of it. And he said, these are the things that he said he wanted me to let you all know, um that the legal system is complicated. And he said, sometimes he wanted to jump in and be like, this is what they're trying to say. i kept trying to like, you know,
Speaker: Say it in a way that they couldn't understand. Yes. He's like, like, we get it. You're lawyers. You're super smart. Can you please talk like on five? This is not right. Um, he said the one thing that really annoyed him was there was a lot of sidebars with the lawyers. And he was like, this took like an incredible amount of time and it dragged things out. He thought it was ridiculous. Um,
Speaker: He said a very positive thing that the people on the jury were interested in getting the right decision. Yeah. Which he said, you know. That's great. You're impacting this person's life, right? Yeah.
Speaker: like it's a major ramification of like what you're deciding. So he said, you know, people took it very seriously, even though in Pennsylvania, he got like $9 a day. Like it's ridiculous.
Speaker: Like, like literally for the entire week, I was just like, whatever. But, um but his final thoughts he told me were, Being a lawyer is a tough job and TV makes it seem glamorous.
Speaker: I mean, like, I've always like, I love the Lincoln lawyer. Yes. I think Vicky Haller is like, cool. Like, I know you love him. i love him too.
Speaker: You know, but you know, it is a big job and he's like, I don't ever want to have to do that. Yeah. I think what's his takeaway? He was happy that he's not a lawyer.
Speaker: Well, you know, it is interesting in the United States, you're innocent until you're proven guilty. So that's the whole concept is like the prosecution has to prove their case, which is way better than like, you know, there was a movie recently that came out called Mercy and it was all about AI you like get plucked from your house if they think you did something wrong. Cause AI is like keeping an eye on everything and you sit and there's an AI generated judge and you're guilty and you have X amount of time to draw from all the AI, like videos and audio and everything to prove that you actually didn't do it.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. i mean So that this is better than that for sure. i mean, he said that the reasonable doubt is a high standard and it's very easy to see how some straightforward cases get manipulated in like a different direction kind of thing. Yeah. So, you know, it's not straightforward sometimes. Yeah. But I mean, the judicial system is so complicated, like he said. And i do think you if you get accused of something, you do want to have people that actually care if you get the right verdict. yeah But then like if you get convicted, i mean, I read somewhere that like 96 to 98% of cases get pled out before they even go to jury, which is a huge number. yeah And then if you get sentenced to jail, depending on what jail you go to, i mean, that's a huge expense for the society because it's like –
Speaker: you know In Mississippi, it's like $20,000 per inmate per year. But in Massachusetts, it's like $300,000 an inmate per year because of all the staff and Yeah, I mean, about all that money.
Speaker: I mean, I don't know what the answer is. Everybody, please stop breaking the law. Just do your best. And say you're sorry. again Come on. I know this about myself. I have to stay on the straight road, straight path. I could not. Because would not do well in prison. I wouldn't either. just know this about myself. No way. I would not do well. But like, so anyway, so that like, I mean, it's not a totally deep dive into like jury duty, but it was just a little bit of a like a yeah peek into like what our experience was like your civic duty matters it does matter yeah i want to be like i don't be like Lynn and get out of it I want to be part of the process yes do better do better than Lynn
Speaker: ah factor all right um well that was interesting stuff you guys thank you for your service Peter and Nancy all right what's for dinner What's for dinner is um peppers and linguine and sausage.
Speaker: That's a weird combination. Like what made you think of that? So this is actually one of like Tim's favorites that I hardly make because I don't love sausage. But um if you're looking for like a different spin on pasta, it's it's pretty it's pretty good. so Okay. Tell us what's in there.
Speaker: So you make, you um you slice onions and you get bell peppers. So you do an arrangement of like colorful bell peppers, like yellow, red, orange.
Speaker: yeah Okay. You know, make them pretty. And you cut them up and you cook the onions and the peppers together. okay Get them happy. And then you make them with ah with crushed tomatoes and make a like an easy light red sauce.
Speaker: And then you... um, get some Italian sausage and you grill that you make the linguine separately and then when all the components are so are you like slicing the so I like you keep it in links or is it like a crumble or you could do it several ways you could slice the sausages and cook them directly in the sauce. I choose not to do that because not everybody in my family likes the sausage. Okay, Sally. it's just a way, yeah yeah, it's just a way to control the protein. So I make everything separate.
Speaker: And so how I plate it is, when the linguine is done, I throw the linguine in with the sauce and the peppers and the onions, and I toss it all together. and then I put it on a plate. And if you want the sausage,
Speaker: plate it there. And if you don't want the sausage, don't use it. Okay. um I serve it with a salad and crusty bread. It's, it's delicious with or without the sausage. So like, do you add spices to it? Or like what? I do. I add a little I make it you know, I add like, you know, some Italian seasoning and I add a little crushed pepper just a little like not to make it hot but to just give it like a well we know your daughter doesn't like hot yeah there's spice in here yeah I got one of those too I know so I have to be careful but I did um this is one of Tim's favorites and he would say I don't make it enough um yeah that sounds good
Speaker: But give it a try. That sounds healthy. ah You could probably switch out your protein too. Like if you had shrimp or chicken or steak if you wanted tofu, maybe even like if you wanted to switch out your protein, you could probably do that. 100%. And it comes together quickly. Like it takes like 30 minutes.
Speaker: Right. Like it's super easy. So yeah, give it a try and see what you guys think. Sounds good. I have to try it. But we want to thank you for listening to our podcast and letting us sisters jump into your day.
Speaker: Please make sure to follow, rate, and review us. Have a wonderful weekend. Sisters out.
