22 Plays2 months ago
On this (Halloween?) episode, our lovely hosts have been replaced by a Swamp Witch and a G Wizard. The two of them really needed to test their patriotism by reciting the National Anthem and issuing an apology on behalf of ignorant people who don’t know anything about Coyotes snatching up babies. Blame any audio issues on the costuming!
Dom and Dommer is about two friends who talk about everything under the sun and over the moon. We're not only global, we're interstellar. We're also local. Right at your backdoor. We talk about the dumb and the profound. The high and low. So strap in and strap on.

Who's this Harry Potter? I was like, who's this Harry Styles, like, rugged version? Sure.
00:06:29
Speaker
but was coming out here so sure Imagine this, you're driving down the 101 in California, the sun is setting, the work day is over. You suddenly look at your phone and there's a text message from your friend and it says, hey Dasha, can you recite the national anthem right now out loud? Do you know the whole thing? And it took me a good second. I was like, national anthem?
00:06:54

And And I'm like, wait a minute. Do you not know it? This is very important. And then you said, Oh, I know it. You know it. But I had to test myself. I was like sitting also in this beautiful traffic and I'm like,
00:07:21
Speaker
I don't know what got me on the topic of singing the national anthem, but I was like, can I do it? Can I do all the parts? Because there are people who fuck it up. And I kind of, it's one of those things that I have to literally go into it and sing it. But I wanted to like try that with you where like we just kind of like spoken worded. Who's bright stars? aunt Nope. Okay. liberal Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Okay. So, uh, you start.

Coyote Apology and Reflection
00:09:35
Speaker
But I think you missed something. I surely did. We're going to have to fact check you so hard. I'm going to turn it to David.
00:09:43
Speaker
that guy david
00:09:46
Speaker
That was the other thing I think we wanted to talk about. David? Well, maybe more than just David, but yeah. Oh, we definitely got to cover David. Who's David? Oh my God. Who's David? You know, I thought you were an ally. I thought you were an ally. As a dentist? Who? David was one of the moderators. Oh my God. That's what you were talking about. I really, okay. Wait for the daughter.
00:10:15
Speaker
Okay. Well, cause I was like on Twitter through a lot of the debate and there was a point on Twitter in the night where people just started talking about David and they were like, David's such a daddy. We love David. Um, people went ahead of course and tried to look for pictures of him shirtless after posting those. Well, yes, but you know, with AI these days, who's to say it's his app to say I'm just a fucking swamp witch.
00:10:46
Speaker
Actually, okay, side comment. There's got to be a drag queen named Paula Tix, right? Paula, like P.A. Paula? all We're having malfunction. no no You showed your tits and now your real and gender identity is taking a reveal. Well, your ear is also like very like submis
00:11:15

Yeah. Powerful. We're going to recircle. Circle back. No, no, we're going to recircle. We're going to get up and we're going to spin.
00:12:06
Speaker
We are back. We are the Swamp Witch and G-Wizard. That's me. I have to make an apology. An apology is for a bold claim I made last episode where I said that coyotes are not snatching people's babies. And then Anya did kind of tell me that I might have was too hasteful with what I said because... Right, right. This one here, G-Wizard was like, oh,
00:12:39
Speaker
I'm from Russia. We have lots of monsters there and nobody eats children. False. In rural Massachusetts, coyotes are out there snatching your kids, snatching your wives, and they will eat them. Wait, you said your friend had this happen to them. Exactly. So shout out to Delaney, who literally messaged me when that like snippet came out. And she was like, yeah, I had a family member literally get snatched and pulled into the woods by a coyote. And then, you know, they had to go save the baby. Delaney, I hear you. I hear you. I appreciate you, um you know, writing in real information, but you did make me look like a big old turd idiot. So I'm a little peeved, but I am sorry for your family member whose child got pulled into the woods. What happened to the kid? Well, you didn't fall. You didn't ask what happened. They're fine. They're fine.
00:13:37
Speaker
They're driving. They're actually now a coyote hunter. fun hey Trauma bonding. yeah I love it. I will avenge myself. Can you avenge yourself? Do I avenge? Yes. In horrible ways and I don't like how petty I am. I always avenge myself.
00:13:55
Speaker
ah It's bad. it's I've done some stuff. I got bullied severely in like sixth grade at summer camp. It was a sweet boy camp by this girl who I thought was my friend. It was like the three of us. It was like me, my best friend, and this girl. And she was making fun of me. And it was kind of a little jazz here and there. And then we did a production of Little Shop of Horrors at the camp. And like, because there's too many kids, they put us in the chorus. Like me, this girl, and my friend. And in front of everyone, she
00:14:29
Speaker
and I have a beautiful, serene voice. And um she should have gave me the lead of the little shop, which is a character. ah Yeah. OK. You were the entire shop. I was the shop. Well, we and these little girls were in the chorus. And in front of everyone, the girl went, um oh, we're supposed to be, it's an orphan chorus. She goes, we're supposed to be orphans. Dasha, can we borrow some of your clothes? Wow. Can you believe? In front of everyone.
00:14:59
Speaker
And people laughed, and it was really bad, and I don't like that. And so I did, while everybody was doing some activity, go back into our bunk and take a bottle of baby powder and put it all over her clothes, all over in the cubbies where her clothes are. Her towel, I just sprinkled it all around, just,
00:15:27
Speaker
very heavy-handed and then went about my business and then later on we came back to the bump and she was like, oh my God, who did this? I was like, I don't know, who would possibly, who would have a vendetta against you? ah ah I mean, you're so beloved at this camp. Wow, that's like bad girl shit right there. Dude, it was so humiliating. She like humiliated me in front of all these people. And I'm like, you know, my parents don't have a lot of money. I am poor, like, you know what I mean? And she's like telling, making fun of how poor I am. How old are you? How old is she? Sixth grade. This is sixth grade. It's like wow. You should have just taken a big dump. I'm a shy pooper. I couldn't do it on command. This was like ah a coi but quick in and out operation. They all come back from like the lake and they're just like just dumping on their toes. This bunny enough reminds me the last like couple of nights I've been watching a show called w WWE Rival.
WWE Real-life Drama
00:16:25
Speaker
And they it's like a whole series of these big rivalries that happened in the first episode. There's this whole moment where you know they kind of took something the wrong way and then it became a whole revenge story back and forth, back and forth, until they're older age now where they look like they've taken a lot of beatings at this point.
00:16:49
Speaker
Wait, so is this like real behind the scenes stuff that's happening or is this fake story? Yeah, right real behind the scenes, like a docu-series of kind of like, you know, these WWE wpe storylines of these rivals that, you know, probably started out in a place of just first story for the entertainment. But then things happen behind the scenes, you know, contracts and how they want to tell their stories. And of course, if you have people pitted against each other, like,
00:17:19
Speaker
someone has to win and then someone has to take that back and then something else has to happen. But it gets ugly when you start like bringing in people's personal lives like in to that storyline. Oh, so they would like in one moment, they so they said something like, oh, like you're having your sunny days, which a lot of WWE fans from back in the day probably you know exactly what that phrase is.
00:17:47
Speaker
And they were all like, Oh my God, he's having, you know, an affair with the girl, Sunny. And they're like doing stuff in the back. And like, everyone's supposedly like understood it as that. And it was like, Whoa, like now you're bringing real shit that's going on. Wait, so they improvise what they're doing. I thought they had like a script.
00:18:07
Speaker
Oh no, I don't think it's ever like heavily scripted like that. So it's more like, okay, here are your story beats, here are your points. Oh, well then yeah, i'm I'm assuming you just start putting stuff that's happening in your life into it. I mean, we do that all the time here. Yeah, we do. Yeah, all the time. You're always exposing me. Yeah, you ex exposed and you fix your beard right now. You fix that beard. See, like that, they didn't know I had a cake. Fix your mug. They didn't think, mug. But what I was gonna say and what was kind of crazy and made me think to bring this up is that, especially in the early 2000s and like the 90s, there was so much like crazy racism in, I mean, up like why should I be surprised? Yes. But like in WWE, they would insert these storylines that were like
00:18:56
Speaker
racist and one that like sticks out is we were watching like a summer slam or something in uh that was like in 2001 or 2002 might actually probably 2003 the most racist years of this country well yes say more I'm not the most racist here. Good. I needed you to correct yourself. Yeah, two thousand please. That's the worst. You have to take up one moment that was worse than that moment in this country. Not one. I'm a swamp witch. I've been under a rock. Yeah, that's right. In a cave with no clothes. Ears covered. Earbuds in like a deprivation tank. Just like. and Yeah, I'm actually from a space swamp.
Fantastical Origins
00:19:41
Speaker
Ooh, a space wand. Yeah. Amazing. I it came out like thousands of years later. Skin's great. works for everything. Okay. So, w WWE extremely racist storylines happening in like 2003. Think about it. We're in the or early years of the war in Afghanistan and they have this like royal rumble of all these guys who are fighting each other they go in they start like coming in more and more at some points there's like seven people in the ring they there's one guy comes in I can't remember his name and he's like you know a Middle Eastern descent
00:20:35
Speaker
okay and they walk in they get into the ring and all these guys who have been pitted against each other decide to band together to grab him and throw him out of the ring and I'm sitting there like oh my god and I had to like check the year because I was like yeah like the crowd is going wild and I'm like what the fuck but I'm like yeah in 2003 like the amount of hate that America had for literally anyone from the Middle East because of obviously 9-11 and all of that going down it was like shocking and disgusting and then like but even okay so cut to similar I think it was the same match this French guy comes in and he's like very like oh we're giving him this like French character he walks in with a poodle
00:21:32
Speaker
and like practically like smoking a cigarette and he's like comes in all gay and like walks into the ring and like then they start gay banging him too so so for the french guy he had a poodle he walks in with like a fucking poodle and he's gay and he's yeah he's coming off gay he's coming off very flamboyant because they're giving him this like whole french mistique that i know it's not supposed to be funny that's fucking hilarious yeah if you had a baguette and a striped sweater and a little that's what I'm saying right it was her that it was all happy swamp which behavior leaving me hanging swamp which behavior okay and i had if you had one power as a wizard you're the G wizard you have one power
00:22:29
Speaker
What is that
Wizarding Powers Fantasy
00:22:30
Speaker
power? G coming out of my fingers and stuff. Just on tap, baby. You're just like, Oh, well, for me, just for me. If, if other people want to partake, they can. I'll be like, yeah, you're shooting these, this G out of your fingertips into a little bottle or container drink, perhaps of my own. Not someone else's I'm not a criminal. But if other people want to partake and they're like, let's party, we're in a circuit party, party, party, party. I go.
00:22:56
Speaker
Welcome to the Team Wizard Alley. yeah Give me your hand. I'm picturing you. Do you remember that? What was that like music video slash song from like the 90s or whatever that's like
00:23:11
Speaker
Oh, that's Venus and it's from 2007, I think. But it's nice that you think this Russian song is from the 90s. Yeah, well. His name is Venus and he sings like and that's how high he sings. I'm picturing you singing, doing that, it's a shooting G.O. your fingertips. Wait, that's a serve and a half. I would love to do that. Also, speaking of VMAs and shooting shit out of shit, Katy Perry's thing was crazy. All this wire work stuff. OK.
00:23:41
Speaker
Would I? You hate her, so just say it. No, no, no. um Was it you that was telling me, like, oh, no. No, I don't think it was. But someone was telling me, like, oh, my god, you couldn't see the wires. You could definitely see the wires. You could see the wires. Not in the in the white shop, but in the close-ups you could see it. But I will say, yes, I might have not been the biggest Katie fan as of the last few years.
00:24:09
Speaker
oh However, I'm really coming around to this album now and I hate to say it. I almost wasn't going to bring it up on here. Oh my God, what's breaking news? What are you going to say? Well, just because, you know, it's like I like almost like even made a tick talk about like one of the songs, like dancing to it. And then it was like, oh, but like all the Dr. Luke stuff, I hate to be like,
00:24:35
Speaker
loving music that is made by someone who I'm not supposed to be enjoying,
Katy Perry's VMA Performance
00:24:41
Speaker
you know. Um, so that's been tough.
00:24:47
Speaker
It's been really hard for me to listen to music by Katy Perry because of the controversy surrounding the people working on that album. So Sing, I like that. Thank you for letting us know. It's been really, really hard for you. I'm so sorry.
00:25:10
Speaker
I know, I know. But yeah, so yes, i like that Lifetime song I've enjoyed, the Doji song I love. and I love that the VMAs that they did, like the dancers are like basically different body parts so they only have their legs up. like That must have been tough. like How about the girl who's just ahead having to like yeah Beyonce did that for um in one of her music videos where she had just women's, oh it's the but partition I think, she had dancers just their legs in one of the performances and it was like she was dancing between her legs and I was like damn these women are like pretzels down there somewhere just like high kicking it up to God on national television. Give it up for the dancers.
00:25:53
Speaker
yeah give it up for all the dancers of the VMAs. Yeah they work hard. I mean dancers work hard and especially when it's like big groups and they're doing a lot they're having to move around. I mean also our Lord and Savior Megan Thee Stallion. Oh my god Megan Thee Stallion. She literally the my favorite part is her like running around the stage and she's like I'm all over the stage. She has so much energy she's so good.
00:26:23
Speaker
And it's so cool. You know that it was the like the most fought watched VMAs in four years. Like she really brought the hyped it up. all the All the promo was doing work for it. it's It was really excellent. I thought this one was, I feel like it's back. Like I haven't been excited for them the VMAs for a couple of years now and it feels really, I will say there was like too much Brittany, like iconography everywhere. Everybody was referencing her that night.
00:26:53
Speaker
okay um yeah i guess now that you're saying it i think i can think of two instances it was like it was britney no i could think of like three or four tape with craze outfit s sabrina carpenter doing lucky into oops i did it again with the you know like moon guy then it was like uh oh making a sound doing the snake look like they were really referencing her a lot and padonna and couple other people but it was like I just felt it was like without them there it was just almost like a yeah yeah I thought it was funny that Megan had the snake on her and then she just started freaking out I don't want it that would be me I'm like I don't want a fucking giant snake around me really no those things are scary you love a snake I love a snake
00:27:47
Speaker
look out on a swamp with love snake but a big bowl of python honey yeah you could take a python i know you i'm not a size queen but if but but come correct i do love the size of your staff oh did i ever tell you the story about me um this is literally perfect for a swamp witch moment but uh me meditating and like doing a little bit of light witchcraft in my
00:28:20
Speaker
old apartment and having Abe walk in on me.
Embarrassing Witchy Ritual
00:28:25
Speaker
Did I tell you this? You never told me that he walked in on you? Well, okay, for good reason. So I didn't think it a bad reason. So picture this, where I'm like in my room, I put some like nice kind of like a binaural beats on and I ah throw some incense on.
00:28:48
Speaker
I kind of like put out this notebook I have and I'm like writing down some like intentions and I'm like I'm gonna have like a little meditation and I had my crystals out and then I'm not realizing I closed my eyes and I'm not realizing that now the incense are like smoking the room out and the alarms go off and my doors kind of cracked open but like now I'm obviously needing to open it all the way and as I go to open it all the way Abe's already walking up to me and he's like just looks at me like cross-legged like with my altar and it's like uh you good? I was so embarrassed and like also was like I look like a crazy person like I already have like a witchy aesthetic and now here I am looking like I'm fucking doing rituals and uh gonna burn the house down. Abe was probably like
00:29:43
Speaker
Do all gay guys just have an altar in their room? This is just a gay thing? Is this a gay thing? I don't think he thought it was a witch thing. Also, by the way... Is this a gay thing or a witch thing? It could be both. It could be both. You gotta tell them. You gotta let them know. Have you ever talked to them about that? Yeah, I don't even know if we ever, like, referenced it. You never bought it up again. Let me circle back on that ritual I was doing.
00:30:12
Speaker
yeah I'm like, the moment something remotely weird happens, I'm like, I have to tell Jordan because I cannot imagine what he could be thinking. I have to talk to him about it because anything in my head is worse than what's the reality of it. Yeah, yeah. I think we we probably just talked about it later that night where I just said like, oh my god, I was trying to have a little meditation moment. I was just trying to, you know, was just trying to meditate. And there's like ah a dead pigeon like split open with a dagger. With like Abe's name and blood on the floor.
00:30:41
Speaker
Yeah, it's it's good luck. Yeah, I'm doing a happy spell. Yeah, this is really good. I don't want enough. This is ah a fortune one. Ooh. A fortune one. A fortune one. As opposed to the unfortunate one. Unfortunate one, which is in my other shelf. But I will put it up for you. Never forget. No, that's only for... Bad people. Yeah. Ooh.
00:31:10
Speaker
Bad people are bad or bad or bad. We hate bad people. Oh, I'm addicted to staff.

00:32:14
Speaker
We are back and better than he ever. We're back. We're back to the pool. That was good. She was here. I felt her in the room. She's in the room. She's right out back. Oh my gosh. She's flipping her hair. She's no for that.
00:32:37
Speaker
We are about to play our fucking favorite game. What's that? I think I can smell it. Me too! Oh my god, it's called... Yes or No! Halloween! Yes or No? Okay, so this yes or no is a conglomeration of... Not a word. Oh my god. Wow. I don't know what happened.
00:33:13
Speaker
Share with you for three seconds and I'm a bitch now. What was the word? Conglomeration? Sure. And you know what? Whatever, okay? No, let's do it. Conglomeration. From rural Massachusetts. We were worried about coyotes getting babies. You've got other things to worry about. I got you. I got you. I'm so sorry. Go on. That is so funny because that happens at work all the time. I will say words confidently. Now I just say them and go, I don't know.
00:33:41
Speaker
Um, so this is a, uh, amalgamation there go of, uh, Halloween yes or no's and then also yes or no's from Dasha, Dasha and I's friend. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. Um, yes. Right. Yeah. I messaged and I was like, Hey, I need some suggestions. I got a whole fucking list. So there's gonna be a couple. Okay. Yeah. Cause I like that. I think.
00:34:08
Speaker
People who are listening, send us your yes or no's, like pleats. We love to hear what you want us to question and reflect on. Yeah. And trick each other into talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Cause it's all about tricks. Tricks and gadgets as, uh, as us, we are wizard witch magicians. Yeah, that's right. All right. Well, Dasha, why don't you set us off right now? Okay. My first one is ghost tours. Yes or no?
00:34:38
Speaker
oh my god um i love a ghost tour i don't go on enough of them to be honest well there you know there's a limited supply uh oh well let me tell you i love watching ghost stuff on youtube and there's not necessarily a limited supply i mean most of it is people using string to open and close cabinets i feel like okay okay
00:35:07
Speaker
All right. Listen, be honest with me. There's some real ones out there that are scary and some that are like, yeah, that's your foot. Well, I'm i'm saying more so like, you know, look, for instance, I grew up near the Lizzie Borden house. And do you know the Lizzie Borden story? I don't, but that sounds like an English note. Wow. Okay. So I think probably most New England people, um, know this Lizzie Borden story, at least maybe in Massachusetts or Rhode Island. she get people She was a daughter of a family living in this like Victorian building, whatever, and she kills her family. The whole family? Well, like her mom and dad. Okay, that's the whole family. I believe. And there's like a rhyme, there's like a little brittle nursery rhyme that goes with it. How'd she like them? Like her gave, you know, Lizzie Borden had an axe, gave her daughter 40 wax, or gave her mother 40 wax. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father 40 wax.
00:36:04
Speaker
Holy shit, with an axe? With an axe. How old was she? Three.
00:36:13
Speaker
Okay, powerful little tank. How did you know? Yeah, so this was like a folklore
Ghost Tours and Mixed Feelings
00:36:21
Speaker
type thing. I mean, not folklore, because I guess it's real and whatever. Based on a true story? Based on a true story. And so you could go to the house, you could see where it happened, and people you could like stay overnight sometimes and like sleep there, because it's like an inn now. But I remember walking through there being like, oh my god, am I seeing things? like Am I seeing the the door creak or this or that? Because they would be talking about how this happens all the time. And so I'm thinking of like that kind of ghost tour, where it's like, oh, we're going to walk through some like real places in the area that are you know supposedly haunted.
00:37:01
Speaker
There's a bunch in New Orleans. It's really cool. Yes, exactly. They do so many ghost stories. Yeah, but a lot of them are such set background stories to all these. But yeah, I've been around a couple. I don't necessarily like them because I have seen a ghost in my real life. And I refuse to allow that kind of energy in my life because I feel like once you see it, it's like You could see it again. So I'm like, and I never want to see that again. So I'm like, I don't need this. I don't need to be in places where they might be. I'm like very scared of that. Let them stay where they are staying. Okay. Rocky Horror Picture Show. I love it. I went to like a live one in Boston in college. I love the movie. I think it's still funny. Yeah. I really enjoy it. I like came around to it. At first I thought it was like the weird kids liked Rocky Horror. They do.
00:37:55
Speaker
they don't be careful what do you say well it's like okay well again i guess weird kids also relative of like what that is but you know like i knew i was a weird kid i'm like this weird but i'm not that weird got it so you the rocky horrors on one side what's the thing that you consider is like weird but you're partaking it drag you think that's weird well You know, like if we're scoping out to the entire globe, of the world, things in the world, your everyday persons, but like also Burning Man. Like to people, some people that's weird. It is weird. It's fucking crazy. And I used to be like, no, I'm not. And I'm like, I'm a burner. It's just my life. Or the fact like I love Disney and I'll get into these conversations with other people where it's like very much like
00:38:46
Speaker
Uh, we're not Disney adults, but we like this or we like that. And it's like, whatever. I, I, yes, I'm not going there dressing up with the, I hate the fucking ears. I.
00:38:59
Speaker
I was like, I wish you were filming this part. I just like i on hate. Now I know why I get these videos a fucking TikTok. I'm like wondering why am I getting these? Cause I'm not like really a Disney person, or at least I didn't think I was. And I kept getting videos of pin trading, like people that go on Disney to pin trade. And I now follow like three accounts and I'm like, are they going to complete their set? Are they going to do it? and it's like crazy because i don't even you know but it's so niche and so strange and i'm like obsessed with it and i think that's because of you and that's weird to me the pin trading
Rocky Horror vs. The Room
00:39:35
Speaker
is weird to me you're not a collector you don't collect little things huh cut to look behind you and there's just like okay too many things okay you have a lot of hats fur hats i see hats
00:39:49
Speaker
boxes bags the caro card Okay, all right. So Rocky Horror is not your jam. I think it's funny. You go see it and people are doing all the little things, the callbacks. It's so it's too much sometimes. Sometimes if I'm at a place where everyone is doing it and it's the constant, that because there is kind of a callback from almost every line. And then I'm just like, ugh. The straight version of that is the room.
00:40:21
Speaker
That's like the straight version of it. Oh. Yeah. It's like people go and they scream at the movie and it's, that's what they do. And I've been to both and I could tell you, I enjoy both. I straddle both of these worlds, this gay, gay, gay world. And the straight, straight, straight, and I'm right there in the middle. You're just straddling. I'm just, I'm straddling. Deep in. Yeah. Cause I like to be in both. I like to dip in, and dip out. Yeah. What privilege.
00:40:48
Speaker
I, thank you. What privilege you have. I have, said I love it. I love my privilege. Yeah. No, I genuinely love my privilege. Laser hair removal. Oh, um, yeah, work. Love that. Did you ever do it? In certain, like I always think about it. Like if I wanted to like trim my beard into a shape, like, cause you know, like the hair will kind of like,
00:41:17
Speaker
go up towards my cheeks in a way that I always have to hide. It looks unkempt. I'm kind of into it. I like a little unkempt situation. But anyway. Yeah. I mean, look at your bush. No, it's actually in a shape. That's in a shape. I got it into shape. Ooh, what kind of shape? It's a triangle. I was hoping. It's a small, because I'm not going to do a Landed shirt because anytime someone goes down on me, it looks like Hitler. So I don't like that. So instead I do a triangle.
00:41:45
Speaker
Okay, I think next year Burning Man, yeah you put rhinestones around the triangle, like a little layup. Vajazzle? Yeah, Vajazzle. Early 2000s, call that Vajazzle. And you're just in your Yaga house, bike, perfect bush out, rhinestones. I don't think I'm ever going to be naked there. I don't think I'm ever going to be comfortable enough to be naked. bubbles Are people naked there at all? All the time. Yeah. That's fun. Yeah. I watched a guy.
00:42:14
Speaker
Um, do a game where you have to walk a plank and it's like, uh, if you get something, if you don't do the challenge, you have to take a piece of clothing off like a significant piece of clothing. And I watched a completely naked guy try to grab a dildo from an end of like a plank and just almost face plant on the ground, like ass up in the air. And I was like, this is, I love my life. My life is perfect. I love my life. It was the best moment of my life. That's cool. I like it. Yeah.
00:42:44
Speaker
Those are the moments that you remember. Absolutely. The more you know, start and see that. What was my thing? I was just going to say. What the fuck did I ask you? I don't remember. Hold on. Oh, oh, laser hair removal.
Hair Removal Preferences
00:42:58
Speaker
Yeah. Christ. OK. I'm fine with it. I would love to get some on my armpits and my legs. And maybe my upper lip if I'm feeling real naughty. Ooh. That's better. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.
00:43:14
Speaker
That's understandable. Yeah, I just don't want anything like zapping and zipping near my privates. Okay. Yeah. But ripping it out with strips of wax, totally cool by me. And I only trust one lady and I go to her every two months. What's her name? Megan. Megan, shut up Megan at the... Pretty kitty. Pretty kitty? I know. Your kitty gonna be so pretty. Um, okay. Inflatable decorations.
00:43:45
Speaker
Like pool? Um, like the, you know, like for Christmas and Halloween, normally people get these like a flingable outside decorations. Okay. I like them. I like them. Okay. I like them. I like them a lot. And I like going to Home Depot and seeing them on sale and Costco and stuff. These fucking huge things. Yeah, of course they're on sale. Of course. Oh, so okay. So it seems like you have an opinion. Um, yeah, I,
00:44:14
Speaker
I don't like them, I think they're tacky. Extremely tacky. Granted, this might be for my upbringing, but like my I love decorations and like would grow up and like ask my grandparents to like take me to CVS just so I could like get decorations to put up around the house. Sometimes I would, God bless them, may they rest in peace. My grandparents on my dad's side would take me to CVS, I'd get a bunch of decorations, and I would decorate the woods behind our house.
00:44:44
Speaker
and then force people to walk through the woods. like you will It's a shock that you're not a serial killer in modern day and age. It's it's truly, it's a miracle. But yeah, so inflatable decorations are, yeah. What if they're really fancy, large, like cool looking ones? Yeah, I guess if they're cool. But it's like, I don't know, again, maybe because of just what was embedded into my brain. Yeah. I love like,
00:45:13
Speaker
but kind of rustic like oh uh like fresh garland on the uh railings and like kind of sticking with like golds or silvers or like a deep red and like against you know the green seems like you like something that's very demure very mindful yes it's very mindful very demure our our christmas tree i know you don't know much about christmas trees i'm russian we do new year's continue No, no, go on.
Russian New Year Traditions
00:45:43
Speaker
What else don't I know about?
00:45:49
Speaker
You think I'm Jewish or like, one would look like. Not like that's in 30,000 movies. each Go on, go on. You're like, I've seen Will Ferrell tell. Absolutely. I know what Christmas is. Wait, okay. I do want to go back to Um, tree Russian trees, New Year's. Yeah. We have an ear tree for New Year's. Okay. Yeah. And we have a Christmas guy. He looks like a Christmas guy. He comes in. didn't want get you get Okay. And the trees, do they have candles in them? No. Cause that will cause a fire hazard. Well, we put lights in them. We put like a, like a lights on the work. Yeah. Who told you that Russian people put light candles in there. Okay. Don't hate me. Do you really want to get into this?
00:46:38
Speaker
Is it a cartoon with a, with a moose and a squirrel? No, no, no. Okay. Um, worse though. What could possibly be worse? Go on. So as a kid, I would play, um, call of duty, medal of honor. And you would be, you know, like fighting in Russia, I think in some of these campaigns and, and one like objective it's like,
00:47:08
Speaker
winter christmas time in russia and so when you're going it through this like hall or whatever there's these like trees and they were very like classic looking christmas trees which is why you drive my marine like oh yeah christmas trees that aren't christmas but something else but they were done with like candles like little candles that are kind of like stacked around the branches as in like lights yeah we didn't know we don't have that okay maybe that was um a video game. So, probably why they put candles in trees, most likely. but you but you right Maybe it's based off of something I don't know. you're right But I don't recall any of them having that, but who knows. We also don't do tinsel or anything, but some people do tinsel, so that's questionable. Which can be very tacky. Yeah, I guess I don't know
00:48:04
Speaker
what that is like i guess i don't know tacky versus not i don't i maybe i just don't have taste don't say anything don't fucking look at me unless it's to go no it's actually of course you do yeah i'm looking at the the beard stick that's tasteful and mindful and actually not demure it's very mure it's yeah it's it's for it's more pure yeah absolutely No, I, yeah, I guess I just don't know. So like, to me, I think those decorations are not... tacky, they're kind of whimsical. Because the holiday's made out. The holiday's not real. None of it's real. So I'm like, if we're going to celebrate Halloween, which is like candy and ghouls, and we're celebrating Christmas, which is fat guy presents. None of that's real. So it's like, I might as well have like a skeleton and a big blow up, uh, slave with reindeer. It's all fake. Well, okay. Hot take.
00:49:00
Speaker
Wow, did I just wreck your belief in Santa? No. Who's definitely real. Okay, great. I'm so nervous. Because, you know, there's some people that go way too late not knowing. Yeah, no, I i learned a sad way. I was just talking about this on on a FaceTime this morning with my friend Rachel. Shout out Rachel. all I don't know why we got into how old we were when we learned about Santa not being real.
00:49:27
Speaker
but It was both due to our mother buying something that was clearly from a store and like tags still included on it. So that's what gave it away. You didn't think that Santa would buy you something from the store. Yeah. You're like, how did Santa go to the like Neiman Marcus or whatever, you know? That's the question you have. Not how he got to everyone's house on time in one night. Oh yeah. Well, magic. Oh yeah. So you couldn't magic. But magic, magically you're breaking into Neiman Marcus. Absolutely. It's like magic. You can never tell he was in there. Stop, stop, stop.
00:49:58
Speaker
I found out when I was four. Holy shit. Yeah, I found out early. My neighbor's dad dressed up as Ditmanos and he came downstairs with all the kids. And we all sat in his lap and told him what we wanted. And when I saw him in his lap, I saw the little like string in the beard. Okay, don't put it in my ear like that. Don't put it in a human unit. You piece of shit. But anyway, yeah. But you caused blame today. Absolutely. But I saw it and I was like, that's not real. And I think I pulled it maybe a little bit.
00:50:28
Speaker
And then I realized it was Uncle Quora from downstairs. So... You are just like... yeah This is the the terror you bring just like throughout life. I bring terror? Terror is lying to a small child and not not putting money into a believable costume. Because a four-year-old could fucking figure out that that thing wasn't real. Yeah, you're right. How about they try harder to fool me? The five-year-old sleuth, four-year-old sleuth.
00:50:57
Speaker
Three-year-old sleuth. Yep.
00:51:03
Speaker
You are a sleuth. I'm a sleuth. Is it sleuth? Is that the right word? I'm sure. Yeah, sleuthing about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That must be a word. Do you have one more for me? No, that was mine. Oh god. All right, well. I think we did it. I think it's time to go back to the swamp.
