18 Plays7 months ago
Can you believe it's already time for another Jilly Box? And on the Men Tell All day? What a treat! We do an epic, celebration-based unboxing, interspersed with wholesome tales of the Manion Men. What a season. These men will be missed, but hopefully producers take our hints and give us Paradise!
P.S.: Please don't yell at Sammi for totally missing who Barbara is. We know how you One Tree Hill fans can get.

00:02:14
Sammi
So by next time it should be ready, I think.
00:02:17
Steve
Should be ready. And when you say from the franchise, you mean the golden French.
00:02:18
Sammi
Yeah, I'm just trying to.
00:02:21
Sammi
Like Bachelor Nation.
00:02:22

ah Hold on, ah let me, ah shoot. um ah Barbara, Barbara.
00:02:35
Steve

00:02:37
Sammi
There's well, it's a rumor. I don't know. But there's a rumor that he's dating Barbara. There was like a picture of them getting pretty chummy, at like a Halloween thing.
00:02:44
Steve
Hmm.
00:02:44
Sammi
And yeah. Anyway, so OK, maybe it's still him, who knows? But I don't think it is him. So if it's not him, it's not Jonathan. I don't think it'll be Pascal. I don't know.
00:02:54
Steve
Mm-hmm Yeah,
00:02:56
Sammi
I don't know. I just feel like we're laying out a really good lane for Charles.
00:03:00
Steve
yeah, how did he meet this woman I I gotta know how mark met this like that doesn't like I get how I
00:03:01
Sammi
Just saying. I don't.
00:03:05

Sami's Social Media Preferences
00:03:07
Steve
know you don't know
00:03:07
Sammi
Bachelor Nation meets each other.
00:03:09
Steve
I know they all meet each other, but it's like, I get it because all of the, like the non-golden bachelor's bachelorettes, it's like, oh, we're on group chats and oh, we go to Sundance or what's it, what's it, that's what it's called.
00:03:21
Steve
No, Stagecoach, Stagecoach.
00:03:22
Sammi
Sundance, stage. We and all go to film festivals together.
00:03:24
Steve
What's Sundance? We go to Sundance Film Festival. We watched the latest art films!
00:03:30
Sammi
That's like the opposite of what they do together.
00:03:31
Steve
No, that is the opposite of what they do together. No, they watch country music stars that I've never heard of at Stagecoach.
00:03:36
Sammi
Mm-hmm.
00:03:37
Steve
They do these things. But, like, I'm pretty sure none of the Golden folks had, like, Instagram prior to this. Like, this all had to be facilitated for them.
00:03:46
Sammi
Listen, I'm sure, but I actually only heard that. That's all I know.
00:03:52
Steve
Okay, okay.
00:03:52
Sammi
I know no more than that, so I'm not good.
00:03:54
Steve
But even the fact that they're hanging out, like that they're in the same room. Do you think they, maybe they called each other on a landline.
00:03:57
Sammi
I'm just saying.
00:04:01
Sammi
Maybe, maybe they called each other on a landline.
00:04:02
Steve
wrote they And then wrote letters.
00:04:05
Sammi
Maybe they did. Maybe they did. I don't know. of that I'm just saying, I don't know. It's a rumor.
00:04:11
Steve
Yeah.
00:04:11
Sammi
Who knows?
00:04:12
Steve
I love it.
00:04:12
Sammi
um But anyway, welcome, everybody.
00:04:15
Sammi
Officially welcome. um Wherever you're watching this, listening to it, you found us there somehow. But you can also find us on TikTok at Pop Culture Diner. You can find us over at Instagram. Oh, my God. I have to talk about something about Instagram and on YouTube and wherever podcasts are listened to just so for Pop Culture Diner.
00:04:15
Steve
Welcome officially.
00:04:30
Sammi
I know it's confusing. um I don't care.
00:04:32
Steve
Let's go with it, yeah.
00:04:33
Sammi
Um, yeah, just shut up. Uh, so, okay.
00:04:35
Steve
Whatever.
00:04:37
Sammi
So, so get, get re I told you about this. I, okay. Obviously nothing eventful happened last week. Nothing that would be depressing or horrifying or, you know, whatever emotionally disturbing.
00:04:45
Steve
now
00:04:50
Sammi
like Well, there was one thing I, there was one thing and that is, I was looking through, I like didn't even, I never use Instagram. Let's put it that way. I never use Instagram.
00:05:01
Sammi
It is my least favorite platform. I've always hated it. And so I go on it as infrequently as possible. I'm like this weird. I'm like a boomer and Gen Z mixed together because I'm like, I like Facebook and LinkedIn and TikTok.
00:05:18
Sammi
Like I make no sense. Okay. Those are my favorite platforms. Really it's LinkedIn and TikTok. I mean, Facebook, I just
00:05:23
Steve
You're so old and so young at the same time.
00:05:26
Sammi
I'm like, I go on for the events for Facebook. I just I got to stay tuned in with what people are doing. And that's the best event place still. So, yeah, so like I don't even like really look at Instagram. There's a lot of times where like if someone sends to me an Instagram post, I won't even look at it. And that's probably how most people feel when I send them TikToks. So I understand.
00:05:48
Sammi
But like you should look at TikTok, especially if it's going away. But anyway, so um so I'm like very fancy. We've got an assistant who helps us with our clips. So thank you. Shout out to Deja for being amazing and doing all the best clips.
00:05:59
Steve
Shout out to Asia.
00:06:00
Sammi
I hope you edit in some other like cool stuff right here, like if you do a clip of this. um it's like It's like, yes, like ah a plaque that says, like Sammy says, I'm the best or something like that.
00:06:12
Sammi
um Anyway, so I was like, hey, can you help me ah log into Instagram? Because like I literally don't even have it on my phone. I don't have the credentials. like i I just said, why don't you set one up?
00:06:24
Sammi
Because she was like, I really think you should have an Instagram. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, okay, just set one up for us. you know So I literally have not looked at it, have not managed it.
00:06:29
Steve
Mm hmm.
00:06:32
Sammi
I'm sure she sent me the credentials months ago.
Instagram Mishap and Reflection
00:06:35
Sammi
And like the other day, like Uh, it was last Tuesday, an uneventful day. I was like, can you just, um, give me the credentials?
00:06:45
Sammi
And she's like, yeah. So we log in and I look through and I'm like, cause I was like, I don't want to, like, there's not a lot of people I care that we're following, but it was like the worst thing that could have happened.
00:06:56
Sammi
I was like, Oh my God, you're following my ex husband. And it was like,
00:07:01
Steve
How did that happen? Was it just like people you might know or something?
00:07:04
Sammi
I'm sure it was like a suggestion because like like I said, I'm never on Instagram and I'm sure it was like connected to my other credentials and like contacts and stuff.
00:07:07
Steve
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:07:12
Steve
Yep.
00:07:14
Sammi
And it's like people you may know. And she was just like going down the line and like, OK, OK, OK, like build up a couple of people like what's wrong with that? Absolutely had no way of knowing.
00:07:25
Steve
Ah.
00:07:25
Sammi
And I was like, oh, my God. And I was like unfollow block like the fastest I've ever done it, but I don't know how long that happened for. And ah so that's interesting.
00:07:37
Sammi
And but I told her, I'm like, I think I'll probably talk about this on the podcast. And she's like, that's funny. yeah So anyway, um nothing else scary happened on Tuesday.
00:07:48
Steve
No, but also like always log into your Instagram because your ex-husband could be there.
00:07:48
Sammi
That was the only scary thing.
00:07:54
Steve
You don't know like you got to check it.
00:07:54
Sammi
Oh, my God. No, see, never log into your Instagram because ignorance is bliss.
00:07:57
Steve
Never log into Instagram. Did he follow back?
00:08:01
Sammi
no
00:08:04
Sammi
That would be so weird.
00:08:05
Steve
Libby sec. Yeah.
00:08:06
Sammi
That would be so weird. But anyway, we're on to bigger and better things. We have a jilly box to open today.
Jilly Winterbox Unboxing
00:08:12
Steve
It's true.
00:08:13
Sammi
It's my favorite day. It's jilly day. Also new nails day. OK, so I went in and I got my nails done and I said, I want you to channel this. OK, and so she goes flannel nails and I said, sure.
00:08:25
Sammi
And so she did.
00:08:25
Steve
Channel the flannel. I love that.
00:08:26
Sammi
She did flannel nails. Look at that flannel nails.
00:08:30
Steve
Amazing. Amazing.
00:08:31
Sammi

00:08:36
Steve
Hmm.
00:08:38
Sammi
But only two, so I can't go blur, blur, blur, blur, blur. Anyway.
00:08:44
Sammi
But it is the Jilly Winterbox.
00:08:48
Sammi
For the thumbnail!
00:08:49
Steve
Very exciting for the thumbnail.
00:08:52
Sammi
We're doing it for the thumbnail. OK, so um all I know about this box is it's like about celebrations and b being sparkly. It seems like champagne holiday
Golden Bachelor Season Highlights
00:09:05
Sammi
type of vibes.
00:09:07
Steve
I feel like this is the closest we've gotten to a legit Jilly sponsorship too, because we always, you know, we we promote her box, we always open it, you always sign up for it. And now you're not even in the Jilly lottery, you're like an official Jilly person.
00:09:19
Sammi
I know I'm an official subscriber, Julie. Seriously, though, we got to talk.
00:09:24
Steve
Yeah, we gotta talk.
00:09:25
Sammi
We got to talk, Julie. We got to talk because I'm I'm obsessed. I won't open this until later. Everybody knows this. I did buy one add on and I know this comes with the skirt.
00:09:35
Sammi
That's all I know. I don't know anything else. You do get some like kind of I feel like I got some additional sneak peeks as a subscriber. I feel like my experience was a little different.
00:09:47
Steve
Wow. VIP first class.
00:09:50
Sammi
Just saying, um, but yeah, so I figured this was a good episode to open the jilly box because there's not a lot to talk about except for the fact that I just cried a lot on this.
00:09:56
Steve
No, what are we? Yeah. Everything was just
Jonathan's TikTok Presence in Bachelor Nation
00:10:00
Sammi
Yeah. and was episode It was so good.
00:10:00
Steve
like, Oh, that's nice.
00:10:04
Steve
This whole season, I'm like, I'm like, I look like a horrible human being because I'm just going out of my way to find reasons not to like people on the show.
00:10:13
Sammi
Yeah.
00:10:13
Steve
No, we're all non-toxic people and we love each other and we we have wholesome male friendships together. Great.
00:10:20
Sammi
Yeah, that does kind of make you like not the best.
00:10:23
Steve
The worst.
00:10:24
Sammi
Yeah, not the best, not the worst, but not the best either.
00:10:24
Steve
ah
00:10:27
Sammi
um But yeah, I mean.
00:10:28
Steve
I can't be my normal catty self. It's horrible.
00:10:32
Sammi
Yeah, I would say, you know, biggest bachelor nation things I've seen, I haven't seen a lot. um But like Jonathan welcomed in the Golden Children and did like a little initiation ritual and said like welcome to the franchise, welcome to
Mark's Involvement in Stand Up To Cancer
00:10:45
Sammi
the family. So that was cute. Everybody is really loving Jonathan on TikTok. I mean, obviously me included because I knew he was a winner from the beginning. Come on.
00:10:54
Sammi
Just saying I called it. But he his TikTok game is very strong. His lip sync game is very strong. So it makes him very good at TikTok. um And Jen and Sasha are really fueling relationship rumors because they got booted off of Dancing with the Stars.
00:11:10
Sammi
um Seventh place completely robbed. I agree. Like they were really good. There's no reason they should have left this early.
00:11:17
Steve
Oh, they look very cozy together.
00:11:19
Sammi
Yes, yes, there's a lot of them hanging out at each other's places and stuff. And I mean, mostly Jen hanging out at Sasha's place um because she's just got like a little you know apartment or something that she rented for Dancing with the Stars. um But then, you know, they went to the Wicked premiere together.
00:11:39
Sammi
hair makeup outfits looked on point. And um and then they were like, well, what about, you know, like, what do you say to the relationship rumors? And Jen's so good at like being like fake ditzy. She's like, what do you mean, relationship rumors? Like people are talking about us. That's so weird. What do you mean? What are you talking about? So cute and great. Yeah. She's like, what?
00:12:02
Sammi
What do you mean? And of course, like Devin is the actual devil and ah like somebody posted something about, gosh, now I'm trying to remember whose comments it was in or whatever.
00:12:13
Sammi
Someone had posted something about Jen and Sasha and like, God, I don't know what it was. Sorry. But basically he responded and was like, Sasha's a girl's name. Devin's a girl's name.
00:12:25
Sammi
Do you really want to go there?
00:12:25
Steve
is a girl's kid.
00:12:25
Steve
Yeah, Devon I got now.
00:12:27
Sammi
Yeah. Someone pointed that out online. They're like, uh, Devin is also a girl's name. And also what a weird Sasha is a boy's name. It's what are you talking about?
00:12:36
Steve
Yeah, kinda works both ways.
00:12:39
Sammi
So anyway, Jen is winning. Um, yeah. And Devin is very much still losing. Uh, so, but, uh, Oh, go ahead.
00:12:49
Steve
I was gonna say, you know what else is ah
Bartending at Thunder from Down Under Experience
00:12:51
Steve
is a guy's name? How about Kim?
00:12:53
Sammi
Yeah.
00:12:53
Steve
How about our beautiful wholesome boy, Kim, the little Captain Lee doppelganger that I love more than anything in the entire world?
00:12:56
Sammi
Oh, my gosh. Yeah. We have Captain Lee at the bachelor mansion. OK, we don't need to go get Captain Lee from the ship.
00:13:04
Steve
Yeah. yeah
00:13:06
Sammi
We have a bachelor mansion. But, you know, ah I don't know how to transition into this anymore because I had a thing and now it's gone. But ah first thing on Jilly Box is a cake plate.
00:13:21
Steve
A cake plate.
00:13:22
Sammi
Fancy, a fancy cake plate.
00:13:23
Steve
What separates a cake plate from a non-cake plate?
00:13:26
Sammi
The stand, what do you mean?
00:13:28
Steve
Oh, i is I thought it was a cake stand, not a cake plate.
00:13:32
Sammi
Well, I think they're the same thing. This one obviously doesn't have a cover though, but I'm hoping it's the right color for the house.
00:13:37
Steve
Okay.
00:13:39
Sammi
I think it will be because I saw, I mean, her color palettes very similar to mine. So, ooh, nice.
00:13:45
Steve
What if you only ate off of plates on, on pedestals, like elevated plates only?
00:13:50
Sammi
This is nice. It's just like milk glass. That's really that's classy. That works. Very nice cake plate. I actually almost bought a cake plate but not too long ago, and then I didn't. So now I have a cake plate.
00:14:01
Steve
Cause you felt, you felt the spirit of jilly moving through you.
00:14:03
Sammi
I was like, Julie's going to give me a cake plate and it's going to be so pretty. This is really nice. I do like milk glass.
00:14:09
Steve
That is nice.
00:14:10
Sammi
Yeah, that's very nice. It's classic. It's just classic.
00:14:16
Sammi
All right, first one coming in strong.
00:14:19
Steve
What do we got?
00:14:19
Sammi
Who wants to have cake at my house? um Also, you know, the other thing I have that will go perfectly with this, I have those like vintage snack sets, which I don't even know how popular they actually were.
00:14:31
Sammi
It's like one of those things you find at antique stores all the time. And you're like, how much did ladies in the 60s actually use these? Or were they just something that everyone thought they had to buy and didn't use? it I've like, I've Googled this and I cannot figure it out.
00:14:43
Sammi
So anyway, ah Golden people ah who listen and watch the show. Tell me, did you use those snacks? Are you familiar what I'm talking about? Like.
00:14:52
Steve
Are you talking about like the, like the little divided like things?
00:14:55
Sammi
They're like little they're like little usually glass trays and then they have a little divot for like a cup, you know, a glass cup that comes with it.
00:14:58
Steve
Mm-hmm.
00:15:03
Sammi
And sometimes they even had another divot for a cigarette.
00:15:07
Steve
Hell yeah.
00:15:08
Sammi
Yeah.
00:15:11
Sammi
So yeah, so I have like, well, so if you want to come over for for cake and and snack sets, well, BYOC.
00:15:11
Steve
That sounds good to me. I'd take that.
00:15:17
Steve
And cigarettes.
00:15:21
Steve
you i and then And then when the cake's ready, you're gonna put it on the cake plate and then you're gonna ring your dinner bell that you got from the last chili box.
00:15:29
Sammi
Yes, yes. Oh, that's set up, by the way. I mean, we use it.
00:15:32
Steve
Oh, that's good.
00:15:34
Sammi
We use it for. Well, we'll probably use it for like Thanksgiving, although it might just be the two of us this year because I'm overwhelmed right now with school.
00:15:41
Steve
It's there.
00:15:41
Sammi
But I'm still going to go all out. I'm still going to dress up. I'll use the jilly linens and I will ring that bell guaranteed, guaranteed and use the. Wait, did she? No. No, I got those somewhere. Wait, now I can't remember where I got the candlesticks. I was like, did I get those from Julia or somewhere else? I think somewhere else. West Elm. I got those from West Elm. Same diff. Okay. I just pulled a piece of paper out of here. That's not that interesting. Better battery company. 25% off better batteries. Carbon neutral long lasting batteries that keep both your kids choice and your household devices powered while protecting the planet.
00:16:18

00:16:24
Sammi
Well, we get 25% off. um Yeah. Give me my own code. Well, Jilli has a code. So anyway, if you had a jelly box, you would have a code, but you don't have a jelly box, so you don't get a code. OK, so OK, I love this at the beginning of the episode.
00:16:37
Sammi
ah Jack and Charles walk in and they're doing the same thing where they're like, this place is so nice. Oh, my God, I love it. And I'll never get tired of them being like, this is amazing. I also like that we got more clips of Jack being like, oh, the chandelier is so good.
00:16:52
Sammi
He's like, I used to clean chandeliers. It takes six hours.
00:16:56
Steve
that That was my favorite part.
00:16:56
Sammi
This is a nice chandelier.
00:16:57
Steve
It was like the most old man thing, right?
00:16:58
Sammi
They did a good job.
00:17:00
Steve
Where it's just like yeah it's like like, yeah, I used to clean these six hours for the shit.
00:17:00
Sammi
Yeah.
00:17:05
Steve
You could see it's clean.
00:17:07
Sammi
He's like, these look so good. He's like, someone cleaned here. Someone cleaned here recently. OK, this is nice.
00:17:13
Steve
Yeah.
00:17:14
Sammi
And of course, Kim comes in.
00:17:14
Steve
Classic old Midwestern dad move where it's just like, I'm deeply
00:17:16
Sammi
Yeah, Kim comes in.
Debate on Burger Toppings
00:17:18
Steve
observant of something no one cares about.
00:17:19
Sammi
Yeah, Kim comes into the kitchen. He's like, exact opposite. He's like, well, this is all wobbly. You know what I do? I tear this out and start over.
00:17:27
Steve
It's Sarah.
00:17:29
Sammi
I was like, oh, my God, I just love i I love that we got to see a little more Jack, you know, more Charles, more Kim and in this segment. And also I do like that they settled the burger debate that I've been thinking about since the beginning of the episode.
00:17:42
Steve
yeah
00:17:45
Sammi
Now I need to know what camp are you in? Are you team? You can put barbecue sauce on on burgers or are you like, absolutely not get that the hell away from my burger?
00:17:55
Steve
Okay, so ah two schools of thought here. This is like the, should you put pineapple on pizza? I'm i'm pro pineapple on pizza, personally.
00:18:04
Sammi
Yeah.
00:18:05
Steve
ah I understand if someone doesn't like something that I like, but also it's like, who cares? like ah But if someone's making burgers for me, like if you're like, Steve, how do I grill a perfect burger?
00:18:10
Sammi
I love pineapple and pizza for the record.
00:18:16
Sammi
Mm hmm.
00:18:17
Steve
Nowhere in that conversation would squirting you know store-bought barbecue sauce enter that combo at all.
00:18:23
Sammi
Is that really like a New York thing or did he just make that up?
00:18:26
Steve
He made that up entirely. That is not a New York thing. No one has ever done that.
00:18:29
Sammi
Are you sure?
00:18:30
Steve
100% positive. That is not a New York thing.
00:18:31
Sammi
Hold on. Let's see. New York style burger. That's all I'm typing. OK. Pastrami and gherkin.
00:18:41
Steve
That sounds about right, yeah.
00:18:42
Sammi
That sounds like a New York style.
00:18:44
Steve
Mm-hmm.
00:18:45
Sammi
ah Let's say every single one of these is a little bit different. Well, and they're also saying their signature stand, which is also pastrami.
00:18:54
Steve
Mm-hmm.
00:18:54
Sammi
OK, this says OK, that's a Gordon Ramsay burger patty.
00:18:58
Steve
Yeah, i maybe if you're in like Kansas City or something, but I can't think of ah of a, but no, it's just not, if anything old chock should have been talking about this, but yeah, it's it's just not like, again, I'm not saying you can't do it, but there's really no reason to do it.
00:19:01
Sammi
Yeah. I'm like, is that a thing? Yeah, no kidding.
00:19:17
Steve
you're you're all you're All you're doing is you're edging closer to meatloaf. This is the same with people who get a bunch of ground hamburger and they put like eggs in there before they make the burger patties. No, you're just you're halfway to meatloaf, don't do that.
00:19:28
Sammi
Yeah. OK, this is interesting. All right. So. OK, there's one. Hmm. There's like a hickory burger that someone mentioned,
Grilling Techniques Discussion
00:19:40
Sammi
but I don't know.
00:19:40
Sammi
It seems like it's one place. um But you know who has a recipe for a barbecue burger?
00:19:48
Steve
Who's that?
00:19:48
Sammi
Taste of home. Of course, taste of home would have it.
00:19:52
Steve
Does it wait? But it has barbecue sauce on it? Is that?
00:19:54
Sammi
Yeah, it's like in the last five minutes, put barbecue sauce on it. That's such a taste of home recipe.
00:20:00
Steve
Oh, the other thing he did too, which drives me nuts, but I get it. This is a real dad move. They don't want the flare-ups from the grease, so they put foil underneath it.
00:20:10
Sammi
Mm hmm.
00:20:11
Steve
But then what happens is like the foil gets too hot, and it's like if you're in high school and you would like smoke a bowl with with foil, ah don't do that. Sorry, don't demonetize this. Uh, but like, but like all you're, you're all you're doing is like, it it tastes like, it just tastes like chemicals.
00:20:22
Sammi
Don't demonetize us. A bowl of cereal
00:20:30
Steve
Cause you're literally like lighting aluminum foil on fire and it's, and all that is leaching into the meat.
00:20:33
Sammi
Yeah.
00:20:36
Steve
So I'm guessing these burgers tastes like slightly overdone barbecued metal. That is my assessment based on what I saw.
00:20:42
Sammi
Hmm. And what do you think about the press down versus leave it alone?
00:20:47
Steve
Do not ever press a burger down unless you're doing a smash burger.
00:20:49
Sammi
Smashburger, which I love Smashburgers.
00:20:51
Steve
Smash burger, acceptable. But also it's like when you do that, you start with a ball and then you immediately smash it.
00:20:53
Sammi
Yeah. That's a different thing.
00:20:57
Steve
But if you have a patty that's already cooking, you can't do, all you're doing is drying out the burger. You can't do that.
00:21:04
Sammi
Yeah, yeah, it's a different it's a different taste.
00:21:06
Steve
Oh.
00:21:07
Sammi
It's a different vibe.
00:21:09
Steve
Yeah, my dad would've whacked me upside the head with a spatula if he would've seen me doing that.
00:21:10
Sammi
Yeah.
00:21:12
Steve
You kidding me?
00:21:12
Sammi
So we so what you're saying is you wanted to try one of Jack's burgers.
00:21:18
Steve
I did. i would I would have, I would have loved to try Jack's burger.
00:21:18
Sammi
OK. OK.
00:21:20
Steve
As soon as I saw, I mean, I was like, that's a good looking burger. First of all, second of all, I was like, do you, do I think Jack would have provided a gluten free bun for me? And I believe that yes, he would have.
00:21:29
Sammi
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Because he worked. and He's he's like a caterer. He definitely would have had gluten free buns.
00:21:33
Steve
Yeah. Yeah. He knows, he knows he's safe serve certified.
00:21:35
Sammi
Yeah. Yeah. Jack Jack works in catering. He definitely gets. Yeah. He definitely gets dietary restrictions. Yeah. That's what other thing I was thinking. and I was like, they definitely held this at the right temperature and before they passed it out.
00:21:48
Sammi
They had him in like warming compartments that were totally like copacetic. Like I'm not worried about it at all.
00:21:52
Steve
Yeah.
00:21:54
Sammi
But I was like, wouldn't it be funny if the next big outbreak happened because of Jax?
00:21:57
Steve
That'd be great.
00:21:58
Sammi
burgers. I knew it wouldn't. I knew it wouldn't. Jack, I have a hundred percent faith in your abilities.
00:22:01
Steve
yeah
00:22:03
Sammi
But I was like, we've been talking about food safety in class with my students. And I just read all their reflections in the last week. And they're like, it's um like I have food safety is on my mind. I'm looking at everything differently.
00:22:12
Steve
Yeah.
00:22:13
Sammi
And I go, wow, that's not safe. And I'm like, yeah, that's kind of what happens. Sorry. Sorry. That just has that effect on you. okay
00:22:23
Sammi
This seems like kind of an empty box because that was like the biggest part. But there's a lot of little stuff. And I know there's a skirt in there. I know there's other stuff in here.
00:22:32
Steve
Or so you think.
00:22:34
Sammi
I got some really nice cards and envelopes. I actually always run out of cards and then forget. So these are cute. Oh, this is kind of adorable.
00:22:44
Sammi
OK, here, I'll show you what they look like. Don't look mom in case I give you one of these. um This says a whole lot of love.
00:22:50
Steve
Hmm.
00:22:51
Sammi
o Hello. cute foil, this says you are you're simply the best. OK, and then this calls for champagne.
00:23:04
Sammi
These are cute. And this just says, Oh, heck yeah. Which is a very on brand for me. The most on brand card. Oh, heck yeah. Um, yeah, they're just blank inside. They're super cute. And, uh, I always need cards for stuff.
00:23:17
Sammi
So that's great.
00:23:17
Steve
there you go.
00:23:18
Sammi
So love it. I have, I, I kind of like, if I see like a cute, I am such a Midwestern old lady. If I see like a cute card, I'm like, I'll grab that just in case I'm sure I'll use it for something.
00:23:29
Sammi
And I always use them. So very practical. ah gift. Jelly, thank you so much for that. Like I got it for free. um And then let's see.
00:23:39
Sammi
Oh, okay. I don't have a ton of stuff before or up until Jonathan. So any other notes before we get to Jonathan?
00:23:51
Steve
No, again, it was just like, it was just one a wholesome thing after another.
00:23:53
Sammi
It was just so good.
00:23:55
Steve
And it was fun too, because you genuinely had no idea what was coming next because you weren't like, oh, I know they're going to address this point of conflict, this drama, you know, or yeah same thing.
00:23:55
Sammi
her
00:24:03
Sammi
This drama, yeah.
00:24:07
Steve
Like I love watching Real Housewife, like reunion episodes, but I also know exactly what they're going to scream at each other about.
00:24:14
Sammi
Yeah.
00:24:15
Steve
Whereas this, it was just like, no, nothing bad happens. So the only thing we can do is talk about how much we love each other and then do little bits like Jack's burger thing or, you know, Kim's thing that we'll talk like all this stuff.
00:24:23
Sammi
Yeah.
00:24:26
Sammi
Yeah, it's so cute.
00:24:27
Steve
Yeah.
00:24:28
Sammi
Yeah. So anyway, so Jonathan comes up and like, yeah, that was like when I really started crying, like I was just like, oh, my God. And he's like talking about his journey and just feeling, you know, like he's been seen for the first time in a long time being with Joan and.
00:24:46
Sammi
and you know he had never been to prom and that was a big moment for him to go to prom and then like the surprise story of um Mark's post-it note and and in his coffee like before like he gets up before everybody and Mark thought to like put that on there and it was like these affirmations that he could put on his mirror at home.
00:25:06
Sammi
Oh my God, I couldn't handle it. I was like, that's so sweet. That's so nice. I can't even deal.
00:25:13
Steve
good.
00:25:15
Sammi
So that was beautiful. What a send off. What a classy guy. Such a great segment. I don't really have anything else to say about it than that, except for at the end, he talks about how he's seeing somebody now.
00:25:25
Sammi
So I was, I'm happy for him, but I was also like, he'd be a great golden bachelor.
00:25:29
Steve
He would be.
00:25:29
Sammi
So I'm like, ah, OK, but good. I'm glad. I'm glad for you. But I'm also sad for me and my TV.
00:25:37
Steve
We're sad for America.
00:25:37
Sammi
um We're sad. We're sad for America, but we're happy for you, Jonathan. um And then, yeah. And then Mark has an emotional segment as well.
00:25:47
Steve
yeah
00:25:47
Sammi
um And why wasn't Kelsey there? Do we know?
00:25:50
Steve
Hmm, I don't know.
00:25:51
Sammi
I wasn't sure. I was trying to Google it. I don't know.
00:25:55
Steve
It's a good question.
00:25:55
Sammi
She was busy.
00:25:55
Steve
but Yeah, she wasn't there.
00:25:56
Sammi
She's busy. Didn't get invited.
00:25:58
Steve
No, sorry, not on the guest list.
00:25:59
Sammi
No. Joey's like, I'm the family now. um No, maybe she had like some work, something. I don't know. Something came up.
00:26:09
Sammi
But yeah, so but he was like happy to be here. I don't have a lot to say about Mark s Segment, except like I also teared up at that as well.
00:26:17
Steve
Yeah.
00:26:17
Sammi
So. Oh, and I do I do think it was sweet when he talked about the stand up to cancer thing, you know, where he was like, I wasn't going to do the striptease thing. But as soon as I found out it was stand up to cancer, I was like, get me up there.
00:26:28
Sammi
I got to do it. I thought that was like actually really sweet. Thank you.
00:26:30
Steve
Yeah.
00:26:31
Sammi
um Yeah, and I also in that ah strip tea segment, you know, Jonathan was like, well, I haven't done it professionally. And I was like, mm hmm.
00:26:42
Sammi
And then they're like, Keith, what about like you saying it's your dream? And he's like, well, maybe, you know, sometimes when you say something and it leaves your mouth and then you go, maybe I shouldn't have said that. That's kind of how I felt about that.
00:26:55
Sammi
Keith could also potentially be golden bachelor.
00:26:55
Steve
Oh.
00:26:57
Sammi
I wasn't thinking about him, but
00:26:58
Steve
It's a possibility.
00:27:00
Sammi
He's likable. He could it could make it. It could work. um Yeah, don't let your dreams be dreams, Keith.
00:27:03
Steve
Yeah, and Keith also don't downplay your dreams because I have that same dream, so.
00:27:09
Sammi
We talked about this before. We really are feeling it for you ah very much.
00:27:13
Steve
Listen, I just, I want all of Bachelor Nation to know that I'm gonna have the opportunity to bartend at a Thunder from Down Under show.
00:27:23
Sammi
Oh, my God. Are you going to talk to them?
00:27:25
Steve
And if I seize that opportunity, I'm going to say, put me in coach. I'm ready.
00:27:31
Sammi
Are you serious?
00:27:32
Steve
Yeah. I am. i I have the opportunity.
00:27:34
Sammi
I like it.
00:27:34
Steve
If, if, if I choose to, if I click that yes box, then I get to do it.
00:27:38
Sammi
Opt into life. Opt into life.
00:27:40
Steve
Yeah.
00:27:40
Sammi
That's what I say.
00:27:41
Steve
Opt into life. Yes.
00:27:41
Sammi
Yeah. Yeah. Live from a place of yes.
00:27:44
Steve
Yes. So like, maybe I can do it as like, uh, I tried to experience Keith's life for one day and this is what it was like.
00:27:45
Sammi
um
00:27:50
Sammi
Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:51
Steve
Yeah.
00:27:52
Sammi
and Well, just just get a film crew and make it like a vice thing or whatever.
00:27:52
Steve
Be good.
00:27:55
Steve
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out if I have to wear a shirt or not. Because if I have the option to be shirtless than in a bow tie, I'm going to take it.
00:28:02
Sammi
Yeah.
00:28:03
Steve
Which would probably be terrible for the patrons. They would definitely keep their eyes locked on the stage, I would imagine.
00:28:08
Sammi
Yeah. Yeah. I think i I can't wait to hear what happens.
00:28:14
Steve
Yeah, i'd be like it'd be like the Michelin man, but like all the marshmallows are melting, and he's and he's just got bones underneath.
00:28:15
Sammi
Yeah.
00:28:20
Steve
That's me.
00:28:23
Sammi
I can't wait to hear about it.
00:28:26
Steve
ah Please no pictures.
00:28:26
Sammi
See what I'm saying? Yeah, I can't wait to hear what happens. ah
00:28:32
Sammi
OK, anyway, oh, what is this? What is this? I have no idea what this thing is. Oh, OK, this is actually really cool.
00:28:41
Steve
i like This is my favorite part. I like when you don't know what the thing is.
00:28:45
Sammi
It's a rechargeable electric lighter.
00:28:48
Steve
Ooh.
00:28:48
Sammi
Hell yeah. Oh, it's fancy looking, too.
00:28:53
Sammi
Look at how look at how so. No, it's for all of, do you know how many candles I have at my house?
00:28:53
Steve
Is this for your cigarettes for your party?
00:28:58
Steve
You know, right?
00:28:58
Sammi
It's dangerous at my house. It is dangerous at my house.
00:29:00
Steve
The candle queen. Yeah.
00:29:02
Sammi
I have all the candles. It also is like rechargeable. I think I said that.
00:29:05
Steve
That's nice.
00:29:07
Sammi
um Wow, this is cool. Okay. So it comes out the top here. Let's see if I can, I don't know. I'm assuming it's somewhat charged.
00:29:14
Steve
Do you have a bottle rocket you could light?
00:29:14
Sammi
Let's see. I'm kind of scared. Whoa, look at that.
00:29:19
Steve
Whoa.
00:29:20
Sammi
So wait, what do I do from there? Do I press it?
00:29:22
Steve
I think you just press it and hold it.
00:29:22
Sammi
Yeah. Did you see it?
00:29:24
Steve
Yeah.
00:29:24
Sammi
Look at.
00:29:27
Sammi
That's cool. All right. I love it. because i ah but like i have So I have a bunch of candles and then they're really tall and they get really... you know So it's like, I need like at least kitchen matches and sometimes that's not even long enough.
00:29:37
Steve
Yeah.
00:29:41
Sammi
So we have like those you know grill lighters at our house.
00:29:44
Steve
Nope.
00:29:44
Sammi
But then it's like, what happens is um it always goes outside, it's in the garage, it can't find it. When they're not cute, they're like red, white, and blue.
00:29:53
Steve
Not cute.
00:29:54
Sammi
like Who cares?
00:29:56
Steve
Uh, yeah.
00:29:56
Sammi
um
00:29:57
Steve
And every time you see him, you should salute him.
00:29:59
Sammi
Yeah, obviously. So this is great because this is like very much my style. It's like rose gold, very classy. This is going to go. We do have a drawer ah called the candle center. This will be going in the candle center and it's never leaving the candle center except to be charged.
00:30:10
Steve
Mm hmm.
00:30:14
Sammi
um So this is awesome. Honestly, like, Julie, Julie, you're doing it.
00:30:18
Steve
Thank you for the hookup, Julie.
00:30:20
Sammi
You're really doing it. That's cool as hell.
00:30:21
Steve
Best gift since dinner bell.
00:30:23
Sammi
Seriously, I've used the dinner ball ah maybe twice. um for each Thanksgiving.
00:30:32
Sammi
um Yeah, so let's see. um Okay, then we get to Charles package. And again, all I do is cry.
00:30:37
Steve
Mm hmm.
00:30:38
Sammi
All I do is cry.
00:30:39
Steve
Oh, and his hair. Is that James Bond or is that Charles?
00:30:41
Sammi
I mean, okay, how do you feel though, I actually controversial opinion, I may like the gray better.
00:30:47
Steve
who I think he looks good either way. Like, I don't think it's, it's like, it doesn't work.
00:30:49
Sammi
I do think he looks good either way.
00:30:52
Steve
Like it doesn't transform him in any way.
00:30:56
Sammi
it Well, and I mean, you look at that old picture of like him and his wife, he looks like that, you know?
00:31:01
Steve
Yeah.
00:31:01
Sammi
So like, it doesn't look bad, but it's also like, I do like the gray.
00:31:02
Steve
Yeah.
00:31:05
Sammi
I think he looks good with gray hair.
00:31:07
Steve
Yeah. I mean, it's like, who's your favorite James Bond?
00:31:07
Sammi
So.
00:31:09
Steve
Is it Timothy Dalton or is it Sean Connery?
00:31:10
Sammi
and
00:31:11
Steve
They're both handsome. Come on. No no bad choices.
00:31:12
Sammi
Yeah, one of them's like way meaner. um But anyway, so so that's kind of an easy answer for me. um But yeah, like I I think I mean, he made such a splash on the show. He's such a great human. And it's just like every single thing he says is so sweet and so genuine that like I just start crying preemptively when he comes on my TV. It's like a Pavlovian response. I see trial and I just start going. oh He's so sweet.
00:31:44
Sammi
He's so sweet. Like, I can't handle how sweet he is.
00:31:47
Steve
Yeah.
00:31:49
Sammi
um I'm glad they re- I don't know.
00:31:50
Steve
Again, though, my controversial opinion remains, I love Charles more than life itself. Charles cannot be the golden bachelor. Like it's not, he can't, it's not, it's not going to work.
00:32:01
Steve
Like he's too, he's too pure.
00:32:03
Sammi
I think I think he is potentially too pure.
00:32:03
Steve
but
00:32:06
Sammi
um I worry that if he does it, yeah, it's not going to be. I mean, it's not like he's going to turn into Juan Pablo or anything like that.
00:32:13
Steve
No.
00:32:14
Sammi
He's not going to be a favorite that turned sour. But I mean, I don't know. I'm sure they're I mean. if he is one of them in consideration, I'm sure they're testing it out. They know better than I do.
00:32:24
Steve
Yeah.
00:32:25
Sammi
You know, it's like, there's people that we haven't seen very much of, and I think they did great. You know, it's like, obviously Jen didn't have a an awesome season, but I think she did have a lot of sinkerman outside of Jonathan, very bright spot.
00:32:38
Sammi
um And Austin, man, I mean, I'm telling you, Austin was great. And who knew, like, he's been one of the, like, you know, Good dudes after the season so he just didn't get his credit on the show.
00:32:52
Sammi
It's too bad um But like she is such a good presence. She's got such a good personality. She was the right choice I had no idea from what we saw in Joey season that she was gonna be good, you know charity same I mean charity I think is like one of the best bachelorettes I know I've talked about this before that we've had of all
00:33:03
Steve
Mm-hmm.
Potential Future Golden Bachelor Candidates
00:33:09
Sammi
time and
00:33:09
Steve
Oh, yeah, she's the biggest surprise to me.
00:33:10
Sammi
Um, yeah, like she, yeah, like we saw almost nothing.
00:33:11
Steve
Yeah.
00:33:13
Sammi
And I mean, of course she was with like one of the most and nothing bachelors, you know, so that was part of it.
00:33:20
Steve
Yeah.
00:33:21
Sammi
Um, and then just to see her like grow into her own and be like so dynamic. And then we get like one of the best, I mean, probably the best bachelor we've ever had with Joey. It was like,
00:33:32
Sammi
gift that keeps on giving. I don't know. So anyway, anything could happen. I want to believe that they and I feel like they are starting to get a better understanding of who's good.
00:33:42
Sammi
But then again, every once in a while, you know, it goes it goes south. But I do think there's a lot of good choices out of the men.
00:33:51
Steve
Yeah.
00:33:51
Sammi
So I don't there's not like a wrong choice. If they pick someone, I wouldn't be like, no, not him. Like I literally can't think of anyone they would pick that I would be like, no, you can't do that.
00:34:02
Sammi
So that's the good thing. We never really get that. We're very blessed. But if if the stars align and it made sense for Charles to be the golden bachelor, I would welcome it with open arms.
00:34:02
Steve
Yeah, yeah.
00:34:13
Sammi
That is my dream. um But I still think he'd be perfect for golden paradise. We need golden paradise.
00:34:18
Steve
Also, I would be perfectly fine if if they you know buck the trend here and they don't draw from a previous cast. Just just go get a guy.
00:34:28
Sammi
That's true.
00:34:28
Steve
Get a guy. Come on.
00:34:30
Sammi
Just get it by. Yeah. Now, and there's also talk about people are lobbying to have Alona Marr be the next bachelorette, which would be really cool.
00:34:39
Steve
Oh.
00:34:40
Sammi
But we'll see what happens. But that would be I would like that. So that and there's a lot of Dancing with the Stars and Bachelor Nation crossover right now. Just a lot. There's a lot of stuff happening there. So you never know. Like I feel like the like bachelor nation has boosted that and the Olympics have boosted Dancing with the Stars this season, like significantly. So for them to pass that opportunity by, I think would be kind of foolish.
00:35:09
Steve
Yeah, yeah.
00:35:09
Sammi
She's saying, I think it would be a really, Alona would be a really good choice. um OK. Oh, and then, yeah, then there was that announcement where it was like, on behalf of Bachelor Nation, we want you to be the next Golden Bachelor. And I was like, don't toy with my emotions like this. I can't take it. I'll get upset.
00:35:27
Sammi
So it's time for another present.
00:35:31
Steve
What is that?
00:35:31
Sammi
Sprinkles.
00:35:32
Steve
Sprinkles? Like the edibles? but Okay, yeah.
00:35:34
Sammi
Yeah, jelly mix. We have lots of sprinkles in our house.
00:35:37
Steve
I was afraid that it was just going to be like like large glitter or something, or that you're just going to eat glitter and then
00:35:42
Sammi
No, they're really sprinkles. They're they're from generate cakes. We actually have a lot of sprinkles in our house because Tuck eats a lot of ice cream with sprinkles in the winter.
00:35:54
Sammi
So I've made him, yes, in the winter specifically.
00:35:55
Steve
specifically
00:35:57
Sammi
So I've bought him like sprinkle mix and stuff in the past. And um ah we even have like a little thing, ah like a little tic tac container that he um it says emergency rainbow sprinkles on it.
00:36:12
Steve
Just in case he runs low.
00:36:13
Sammi
So that's, yeah, that's where we keep the emergency rainbow sprinkles. I'm not kidding. So this is very cute. And these are pink and lovely and, um, and, um, hu yeah, sprinkles.
00:36:22
Steve
That's good that Jilly's thinking of tuck too, you know?
00:36:26
Sammi
Yeah. They're cute. Oh gosh. Jilly mix.
00:36:30
Steve
Love a good Jilly mix.
00:36:32
Sammi
Oh my gosh, I love sprinkles. This is exciting. um Let's see. Oh, and then ah Pascal. um we have Well, so first we we have that great segment where Pascal is like, OK, everybody.
00:36:48
Sammi
You've been out at the pool and like I think we all just need to relax and I think we need some facials and some meditation. And he puts these face masks on the guys and like cucumbers on their eyes and he's like, let's all meditate and chant to Joan.
00:37:02
Sammi
And this is what I learned from like monks or whatever. And then and and my favorite part is that Jonathan's cucumbers are like falling off of his eyeballs.
00:37:11
Steve
Oh, everybody. And like somebody else has like, like one of those gel face masks out.
00:37:14
Sammi
Yeah, yeah.
00:37:14
Steve
It's just like melting off his face.
00:37:16
Sammi
I think it was Mark and he was like and he was like sliding it up so that he could breathe.
00:37:18
Steve
Probably Mark. Yeah.
00:37:22
Sammi
And then and then at the end, Pascal's like, I don't know anything about meditation. I just mean that all that shit up, which is so funny. um Yeah, Pascal is so good. um I mean, maybe he could beat the next Golden Bachelor.
00:37:33
Sammi
I don't know. Do you think he do you think he moved on enough for them to make him the next Golden Bachelor?
00:37:35
Steve
Pascal could work.
00:37:40
Sammi
like Do you feel like they closed the chapter enough?
00:37:43
Steve
Yeah, I think so. like he He could work.
00:37:44
Sammi
Yeah.
00:37:46
Steve
And he's got he's got the mojo to do it.
00:37:48
Sammi
Mm hmm.
00:37:49
Steve
ah But I guess the only question mark there would be, because of the way he left, it's like, is he ready for real love and a real commitment? Because, Joan, obviously. I mean, we talked about this last time.
00:37:59
Sammi
Right.
00:38:00
Steve
When he was at his little fantasy suite date, they're like, now we're gonna do the sacred love ceremony. He's like, how about the sacred best friend ceremony? ha ho Come on.
00:38:08
Sammi
Yeah, yeah, so that's what I'm saying, like, has he moved on enough?
00:38:10
Steve
Yeah. yeah
00:38:11
Sammi
Does he I don't know if they like close that chapter enough to like open it up?
00:38:14
Steve
Yeah.
00:38:16
Sammi
I'm not sure.
00:38:17
Steve
I don't know. I think, I think we get away with it. I think we get away with it. Here's the, here's the better question.
00:38:21
Sammi
Mm hmm.
00:38:22
Steve
Uh, next season of the bachelorette, we're going to see Pascal's kid, right? Like they, they just rolled them out for like the third time.
00:38:28
Sammi
I think I think they ah I think they auditioned him. Yeah, I think so, because he said something like I had that in my notes. He said something like, you know, dad, you've taught me how to be vulnerable.
00:38:38
Sammi
I'm like, come on.
00:38:39
Steve
Mm-hmm.
00:38:41
Sammi
That's like I'm using the script.
00:38:41
Steve
Yeah. Also how many kids did Pascal have? And then that's the one they're just going to keep rolling out.
00:38:46
Sammi
Right, exactly.
00:38:46
Steve
Hmm.
00:38:46
Sammi
At least three, right?
00:38:48
Steve
Yeah.
00:38:48
Sammi
Yeah.
00:38:49
Steve
Now I know he's young, which isn't necessarily like a precursor for him, you know, not doing the bachelor or something, but he's young in a way where like there's people on the show that are 23 and you're like, okay, whatever.
00:38:54
Sammi
Um hmm.
00:39:01
Steve
But he looks like a baby. Like he, he looks young.
00:39:03
Sammi
Yeah. I mean, you know, I don't know. I always think about Becca.
00:39:08
Steve
Mm-hmm.
00:39:08
Sammi
Like I think about Becca on the show, Becca Martinez. And she was really young. But I mean, like she said she was ready and she obviously was because she had a kid like really fast after the show.
00:39:12
Steve
Yeah.
00:39:17
Sammi
So she was ready.
00:39:17
Steve
Oh yeah, yeah, no, she definitely was, yeah.
00:39:19
Sammi
Yeah, she was like, I am no joke ready. So you never know. We'll see what happens. um Let's see. Oh, yeah. And then, OK, real quick about Kim. So, yeah, so like Kim comes in and it's like he's like, oh, yeah, that's just fallen off. We've got to just rip that off. Start over. Make sure you close the door. The AC is going to get out. And then we get to see him do the song and everything. And I when I saw all the men come out, I was like, is that the game and scores? And it was. And I was so happy that it was the game and scores of Los Angeles that did the song. And he looked
00:39:55
Sammi
so touched and he was like, yeah.
00:39:56
Steve
Oh, yeah, because it was his vision fully realized.
00:39:59
Sammi
And he was like, oh my God, like this is what and he was like, so pleased when they did this thing in the good night and they really executed it absolutely perfectly.
Kim's Emotional Reaction to Performance
00:40:09
Sammi
And yeah, they they got the vision. It sounded good. They did a good job.
00:40:13
Steve
No.
00:40:13
Sammi
So heartwarming.
00:40:14
Steve
Oh, and if this was a just world, mansion men would be climbing the billboard charts right now.
00:40:18
Sammi
Well, yeah, I mean, it's in in my heart, in my mind, it is.
00:40:22
Steve
Oh, it's in your head too, because when I, when I joined our call to record this episode, you're like, ah i mentioned and I'm like, can you hear me?
00:40:24
Sammi
Yeah. I was like. Mm hmm. That.
00:40:29
Steve
What are you doing?
00:40:30
Sammi
That. That. That. That. That. That. That.
00:40:34
Steve
Just singing mansion men to herself.
00:40:34
Sammi
We are the mansion men. Yeah, it's so catchy. Well, I just finished watching the episode, too. I'm very behind this week.
00:40:41
Steve
e What are you busy or something?
00:40:41
Sammi
um I mean, Yes. Yes. It's the end of my semester. Okay. And I'm also trying to build a freaking computer. And then you are like, Oh, I have friends, Sammy. I have friends.
00:40:52
Sammi
Okay.
00:40:53
Steve
ah
00:40:53
Sammi
I have friends that I see in real life. Okay. I only see you in real life, like a couple times a year.
00:40:58
Steve
ah
00:40:58
Sammi
So I'm going to hang out with my friends and I will see you on Monday. Okay. And I was like, all right.
00:41:03
Steve
They came all the way from Michigan, just for me.
00:41:05
Sammi
Oh, that's so sweet.
00:41:05
Steve
and And to go to the house on the rock, which yeah, which is great.
00:41:06
Sammi
That's really sweet. Oh, yeah, you you have to go to House on the Rock.
00:41:09
Steve
I hadn't been there in like a decade.
00:41:11
Sammi
You've been there in a decade?
00:41:11
Steve
Gotta go to house on the rock. Yeah, I went there 10 years ago and it was beautiful.
00:41:13
Sammi
Oh, wow.
00:41:15
Steve
And I'm so glad I came back because I forgot a bunch of stuff. But I was like, I remember that. That's great.
00:41:20
Sammi
Tuck's never been to House on the Rock.
00:41:21
Steve
What?
00:41:22
Sammi
I know. Okay, for everybody.
00:41:23
Steve
That's again, like one of the most Sammy coded spaces that anyone could ever go to.
00:41:28
Sammi
Oh, that's so flattering. That is so flattering. OK, so for people who don't know, um i'm I'm writing down a time stamp right now because it's that important. And I'm like, this is clip worthy. So House on the Rock, ah for those who are not from Wisconsin, especially like southeastern e Wisconsin and slightly north, um House on the Rock is this absolutely fever dream of a house.
00:41:55
Sammi
that this guy built and it's like a museum but also kind of Frank Lloyd Wrighty but like if Frank Lloyd Wright did a lot of drugs um and then there's like I don't know there's all these like themed rooms there's like a big carousel room a couple things have been filmed there like horrory things and stuff have been filmed there
00:42:00
Steve
Mm hmm.
00:42:14
Steve
Hmm.
00:42:16
Sammi
There's like these big like orchestra rooms where like everything is basically like animatronics like mechanical, you know, playing music on on its own. um There's like really good 70s like conversation pits and stuff. And then there's like an old tiny like street area where it's like old apothecary stuff.
00:42:36
Sammi
There's a bunch of like old billboards for some reason, a lot of De Beers stuff. Why? I don't know.
00:42:43
Steve
it's It's wild.
00:42:43
Sammi
This is how good my memory is. It's it has been a while for me, too. um And yeah, I mean, and then there's like that one area where it's like you you just it's like, oh, it goes off into infinity or whatever.
00:42:47
Steve
Yeah.
00:42:55
Steve
Oh yeah, the the it's like an infinity walkway.
00:42:56
Sammi
Yeah. Yeah.
00:42:58
Steve
But the the thing is, is like, so there's there's some themes that run through it, which is like the the automaton things where it's just like these little mechanical orchestras that play and stuff.
00:43:01
Sammi
Mm hmm.
00:43:08
Steve
ah There's the giant whale room. There's the giant carousel room.
00:43:10
Sammi
Yeah.
00:43:11
Steve
And those are kind of the anchor points. But what I really like is all the weird in-between stuff where you walk into a room and you're like, why is there a 50 foot hallway just full of weird guns?
00:43:16
Sammi
There's a lot of weird in between.
00:43:22
Steve
Why is there a 20 foot hallway just full of vintage cash registers?
00:43:27
Sammi
Mm hmm.
00:43:27
Steve
It is the wildest thing because, and it it makes you think too, like, did he collect all of these things and then they were just organized later? Or did he like briefly for just a week get hyper fixated on calculators and then just,
00:43:42
Steve
have a giant calculator collection.
00:43:42
Sammi
Yeah.
00:43:44
Steve
It's weird.
00:43:44
Sammi
Yeah, it's so weird. It's like, yeah, you don't want if it makes sense, you need professional assistance.
00:43:54
Steve
Yeah, i would I would agree.
00:43:54
Sammi
So you would want it to not make sense. Yeah.
00:43:58
Steve
And the the other thing that I really love about it is this guy
00:43:58
Sammi
yeah
00:44:03
Steve
for years, decades, decades he lived here. Like he was still adding things to it in like 1985 or something.
00:44:07
Sammi
Mm hmm.
00:44:10
Steve
I think 87 is when the the infinity walkway went up.
00:44:10
Sammi
Yeah.
00:44:15
Steve
And so constantly, constantly, constantly doing these things. He never left Like the only time he left the country was one time he went to like the Netherlands or something for like a day or two, just to get like a look at a machine that helped move like rocks or something like that.
00:44:32
Steve
And they go, okay.
00:44:32
Sammi
Wow.
00:44:33
Steve
So he literally flew there, looked at the machine, flew back, was like, that's it, that's all I need. Never left, so this was his life's work. And the whole time, Frank Lloyd Wright's house, okay, Taliesin or whatever, it that's what it's called, right, Taliesin?
00:44:46
Steve
It is right down the street.
00:44:48
Sammi
Yeah.
00:44:48
Steve
So can you imagine you are like this revered architect and you're looking at this guy who has built a complete madhouse without a blueprint, by the way. And now it's a museum.
00:45:00
Steve
It is wonderful. If you are in central Wisconsin, well, what are you doing?
00:45:02
Sammi
Yeah.
00:45:04
Sammi
Yeah.
00:45:05
Steve
But glad you're here. Go to House in the Rock.
00:45:08
Sammi
You should go to House on the Rock. Yeah. um Yeah, it's like tunnel lady, but actually fun.
00:45:13
Steve
Yeah, that's a good way of putting it.
00:45:14
Sammi
Yeah.
00:45:15
Steve
Yeah.
00:45:15
Sammi
Yeah. It's like ill-picked guy, but more enjoyable for all ages.
00:45:19
Steve
Mm-hmm, yeah. And when you get about halfway there, there's a gas station slash restaurant combo called the Pine Comb, and they have the largest baked goods I've ever seen in my life.
00:45:32
Sammi
Hmm.
00:45:33
Steve
So if you've ever said to yourself, gee whiz, I wish I had any Claire the size of a toddler, that's the place to get it.
00:45:40
Sammi
That's a place to get them. All right.
00:45:42
Steve
Mm-hmm.
00:45:43
Sammi
um I don't know if I'm going.
00:45:44
Steve
Pine Comb sponsor us.
00:45:47
Sammi
um So I am not going to fully unwrap these because they're really nice and I don't want to like wreck them. So I'm just going to show you in the box. These are really fancy ribbons for gift wrapping.
00:45:58
Sammi
So people who get gifts this year, look out, bitch, you're going to get cool ass gifts.
00:45:59
Steve
Ooh.
00:46:02
Steve
And you better compliment the rapping.
00:46:04
Sammi
These are nicer. They're chiffon ribbon, very fancy.
00:46:08
Steve
Chiffon.
00:46:09
Sammi
Yeah, trio of ribbons for thoughtful, gifting and joyous celebrations. Cutesy putesy is that's what I got to say about it. Wait, does it say? Oh.
00:46:23
Sammi
Never mind, just kidding. It's all in French, so. My brain just short circuited. I'm like, I don't speak French. I can't read it. Where's Pascal when you need him?
00:46:36
Sammi
Uh, anyway, so let's see, Joan. Oh yeah. So, okay. This Pascal stuff. Um, so I kind of like, I don't know, maybe I was distracted, but I didn't realize like when Pascal was letting Joan down, she was like, I didn't really, I don't know why it didn't read last week. Like.
00:46:53
Sammi
that she didn't feel lovable.
00:46:55
Steve
Yeah.
00:46:55
Sammi
That makes me really sad, but I do feel like they resolved it. What did you what did you take from that whole segment with like Pascal and then Joan coming out and them talking and all of that stuff?
00:47:07
Steve
Yeah, I think for her, the initial reaction, like Pascal did a great job of dumping her. That was an A plus dump.
00:47:13
Sammi
I thought so too. Yeah, I really thought so.
00:47:15
Steve
but Not a lot of times in this world will I say A plus dump.
00:47:16
Sammi
Good job dumping. Yeah.
00:47:18
Steve
Yeah, but that that was about as good as it gets. and I think for her, i mean something's going to hurt no matter what, especially when you get that far.
00:47:25
Sammi
her
00:47:26
Steve
like Obviously, there was a connection there. and It's going to suck either way. And I think that reaction was just like, all of your emotions are heightened. There's so much stress. And through this whole thing, she's hoping and and praying that she has chosen the right guys and she will find the right guy.
00:47:45
Steve
And she's invested so much into this that it's what but it's not her choice.
00:47:48
Sammi
Mmhmm. Mmhmm.
00:47:51
Steve
when someone else makes that choice, then it's then that's where that comes from. and and just any And it digs up a lot of insecurities, I'm sure.
00:47:56
Sammi
Yeah.
00:47:59
Steve
So it was just like ah it was a real like honest and raw knee-jerk reaction, but also I think Pascal did a really good job of just kind of taking her aside and being like, bro, we're we're cool. it's not It's not you, it's me.
00:48:09
Sammi
Yeah, yeah, i think I think so too.
00:48:10
Steve
But in a good way.
00:48:11
Sammi
Yeah, and and I mean, i do I do think Joan means that when she says, I genuinely want to be friends with all of you. Like, um that's the difference between, you know, like, was that just an orb?
00:48:23
Sammi
What just, did something fall in front of you? OK, you'll all see it on on the recording.
00:48:26
Steve
I don't.
00:48:28
Sammi
You tell us.
00:48:29
Steve
What?
00:48:29
Sammi
ah There was like a piece of like white fuzz that like fell right in front of you.
00:48:32
Steve
Ooh, I wonder if it's like a cat floof.
00:48:34
Sammi
Yeah. Yeah, it looked like I'm just going to call it an orb, but no, it looked like a floof. But yeah, I mean, I think she was being really honest about wanting to be friends with all the men and like.
00:48:46
Steve
Oh, yeah.
00:48:47
Sammi
Yeah, I mean, that's the thing about this show is it all feels so genuine and it's so different. And I really think younger groups could learn something like I always talk about Katie season because I do think that was the one successful season where like the men were genuinely friends with each other and everybody.
00:49:03
Steve
Yeah.
00:49:03
Sammi
There was a lot of non-toxic masculinity. You got to see these men cry together. and And I mean, I think a lot of it had to do with Michael being on the show and just like talking so openly about, you know, like being a widower and stuff.
00:49:16
Sammi
And so, um you know, so we don't need to. yeah Well, I guess that makes sense then, you know, because a lot of the men on the show are also widowers.
00:49:21
Steve
Yup.
00:49:25
Sammi
but
00:49:25
Steve
yeah
00:49:25
Sammi
you know, it's like you don't need that to like have these bonding moments and like good male friendship. So and I honestly like, yeah, I mean, drama can be fun and whatever, but it can also be draining. There is something that's very restorative about watching like, you know, men in genuinely good relationship with each other have fun on TV, like I Don't need the drama like this is very fun to me.
00:49:47
Steve
Yeah.
00:49:50
Sammi
So um Yeah, it was really a good time um I do want to show you I knew this was um it's It's all tangled. Hold on. Hold on Yeah, yeah, this is my skirt it's got a nice elastic waist and it's got you know, kind of like pleating and
00:49:59
Steve
Oh, is this, is this the skirt that was foretold? Hmm.
00:50:08
Sammi
It's very cute. It's very me. And I don't think it'll be too long because I looked at the thing um it's called and the color is blue serenity from gentle fawn.
00:50:17
Steve
oh
00:50:19
Sammi
Yeah. It'll be cute. It's definitely um something that I already I mean, even like the shirt I'm wearing today, I'm like, oh, I'd wear about the shirt. So that's great.
00:50:30
Sammi
We already have options. We already have options.
00:50:32
Steve
Love it.
00:50:33
Sammi
um
00:50:33
Steve
Outfits coming together.
00:50:35
Sammi
yeah um Yeah. So Jonah's like, yeah, I want you to, ah she said to Pascal, I want the best for you. I want you to be happy. She wants to be friends with all the guys. And then we get bloopers. We get all the deep exhales sitting down oh and all the snoring and, you know, ah Jonathan being like, if it's Hot coming in is going to be hot going out.
00:50:54
Sammi
So just saying. um It was just a lot of like dad stuff.
00:50:57
Steve
Yeah, it was, it was good. Just lots of old guy stuff happening. Yeah.
00:50:59
Sammi
Yeah. Old guy stuff. Sweat pads. The sweat pads were really funny. They're like, I need pads. Give me pads.
00:51:06
Steve
Yeah. They were all so sweaty, i which I guess that makes sense because you got hot lights on you.
00:51:06
Sammi
Yeah. Yeah. Relatable.
00:51:10
Steve
Yeah, it's fine.
00:51:10
Sammi
Yeah. Yeah.
00:51:11
Steve
Also relatable is like grunting every time you sit down or stand up.
00:51:12
Sammi
Yeah.
00:51:15
Steve
Like I do that as well.
00:51:15
Sammi
Yeah, I did that. I did that this weekend, building my computer. I got up and I was like, oh, I'm like, I'm like, I'm so screwed up. um Also, yeah, I think these were the best bloopers.
00:51:26
Steve
Mm hmm. It was really good.
00:51:27
Sammi
The best bloopers bachelor nation has ever had. I'm going to just put it right and put it out there. um Do you have, as I grab. I think there's one or two more things in here.
00:51:38
Steve
Mm hmm.
00:51:38
Sammi
um Any predictions for the end of the season? What do you what do you think's going to happen? is It's just going to be chalk all the way.
00:51:43
Steve
It's chock o'clock, baby.
00:51:44
Sammi
The chop train, it's chocolate.
00:51:45
Steve
Yeah.
00:51:46
Sammi
Do you think Guy would be the next bachelor?
00:51:48
Steve
He could be, he's the he's the obvious choice.
00:51:50
Sammi
Yeah.
00:51:51
Steve
Like if you want someone who is like created in a lab to be the golden bachelor, it's Guy, come on.
00:51:55
Sammi
No kidding.
00:51:58
Sammi
I just, I'm like, that's too obvious. So I am trying to like find another way around it, but ooh, sugar, candy. Oh, it's a Swedish candy mix.
00:52:08
Sammi
I have never tried Swedish candy, but I feel like it's been all over my FYP.
00:52:12
Steve
I'm a fan of their fish, what what is Swedish candy?
00:52:15
Sammi
I don't know, I've heard like Swedish candy is like not as sweet and maybe sometimes it's like salty or something like that, but I don't know if this one is. um I think sometimes it's like, well, no, is the salty licorice a different candy?
00:52:29
Steve
Yeah, there's, I forget, Norway, yeah, it's some sort of Norse, I don't know what it is, but it's in that region.
00:52:30
Sammi
That's like Norwegian, right? Yeah.
00:52:35
Steve
ah But yeah, it's like black licorice that's salted.
00:52:35
Sammi
I just know Swedish candy has something specific. Yeah. But this also ah so I mean, I know so there are people on TikTok getting like Swedish candy mixes of different things and stuff.
00:52:45
Steve
Mm-hmm.
00:52:46
Sammi
This is um I'm like excited because I like candy like this um sour watermelon, sugar coated strawberry and sour peach lips.
00:52:55
Steve
Mm.
00:52:55
Sammi
That's what I got in here. um Yeah, but they don't look that like the ingredients don't make them look that different from like other candy, except there's no high fructose corn syrup in it.
00:53:06
Sammi
So thanks, Sweden.
00:53:07
Steve
Well, there you go.
00:53:08
Sammi
um Definitely will eat these. Those look good as hell.
00:53:15
Sammi
Oh, oh, my God, these are fancy. Some birthday candles.
00:53:20
Steve
Ooh.
00:53:22
Sammi
They're pastel, too. Everything's pastel.
00:53:24
Steve
You put on your cake that you're going to bake, that you're going to put on top of your cake plate, and then you're going to invite me over and I'm going to smoke cigarettes.
00:53:30
Sammi
And I'm going to put sprinkles on it. Oh, my God, I'm so excited. This is fun. And then you can put a couple of these candies on it, but I'll eat them by then.
00:53:38
Steve
Yeah, it probably won't happen.
00:53:39
Sammi
So they'll be There's three more things in here.
00:53:40
Steve
Yeah.
00:53:46
Steve
Geez, Julie.
00:53:51
Sammi
I was like really trying to spread it out and I'm like, damn, OK. Well, also, remember when I was like, did I get candles from Julie? Well, I did now.
00:54:01
Steve
Oh, this is the add-on.
00:54:02
Sammi
got candles from Julie. Oh, I did order these. This was the add on was these paper candles. Yeah, they're nice. Um, because I like to like candles like this for Thanksgiving.
00:54:14
Sammi
I've got like two things of them. And these are almond colored paper candles.
00:54:18
Steve
Mm hmm.
00:54:20
Sammi
I forgot.
00:54:20
Steve
I thought you just put them in your candelabra and then you would walk around at night with it lit and then your little your little knit stocking hat.
00:54:27
Sammi
Yeah, obviously that's what I do.
00:54:28
Steve
Is that?
00:54:30
Sammi
I don't know what this is. Is this jewelry? Oh, these are cute. Little bow earrings. Hold on.
00:54:40
Steve
Oh.
00:54:40
Sammi
You can kind of see them. Stop focusing on my hands. Focus on the bows. I'm bad at this. I'm really bad at being an influencer. Good thing I can't influence anybody to do anything.
00:54:49
Steve
Mmm.
00:54:52
Sammi
Goddamn. OK, you can kind of see. They've got like little.
00:54:54
Steve
Yeah.
00:54:56
Sammi
Let's see.
00:54:56
Steve
Sammy, I actually do the exact opposite of what you tell me to do, so the anti-influencer.
00:54:59
Sammi
I know that I know that here we'll we'll use jilly as a backdrop. jilly in her fancy dress as a backdrop. Okay, let's see if this works, it probably won't.
00:55:14
Sammi
No, it still doesn't work because my nails are too good.
00:55:17
Steve
They're too good. That's the problem.
00:55:18
Sammi
There you can kind of see it.
00:55:18
Steve
It really is just a showcase for your nails.
00:55:20
Sammi
Look at how nice my nails look. Um, yeah, they're cute. They're little bows. So they got little, little sparkly dues on them. And they're very, they're cute. That's Canadian women owned, uh, sterling silver earrings with cute little one.
00:55:34
Sammi
I'll look at her, um, description as well, but those are adorable. Um, to have we talked about, um, I, we shouldn't get into a rabbit hole at the very end of an episode, but have we talked about a Lily Chapman before?
00:55:43
Steve
but
00:55:47
Steve
Lily Chapman? I don't know, I don't think so.
00:55:48
Sammi
yeah oh my gosh that's a long road to go down she's very annoying on tick tock um she basically okay here's the latest thing though i'll just say the latest thing um she's trying to pass off like drops shipped alibaba jewelry as her own creation
00:55:54
Steve
Okay.
00:56:05
Steve
Oh.
00:56:06
Sammi
And she goes and she says like um she said something like these were all made like these all these were all my ideas and like I made these and I like you know sent these to like a supplier or whatever these ideas and then they sent this to me or whatever or like a designer or whatever whatever she said and people have been able to like very easily track where the jewelry came from or like exactly what it looks like and they're like you get it for two dollars or you could get it
00:56:14
Steve
Mm-hmm.
00:56:22
Steve
Yeah.
00:56:35
Sammi
from her for probably like 40 or whatever. um And it's so obvious because there's like one jewelry store in particular that she really likes working with. And she's gotten like affiliate codes for for in the past.
00:56:46
Steve
Yeah.
00:56:47
Sammi
And like two or three of the pieces look exactly the same as stuff on their website, maybe like slightly different material, I'm like.
00:56:50
Steve
Ha.
00:56:54
Sammi
But anyway, just made me think of it because they were bows, they were bow earrings.
00:56:55
Steve
This is a common thing because one of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was accused of the exact same thing of Alibaba buying her jewelry.
00:57:04
Sammi
I'm so behind on Salt Lake, ah so Salt Lake City, so I got to catch up. Which which one?
00:57:09
Steve
ah Oh, gosh. ah It's one of the blonde ones.
00:57:13
Sammi
Whitney.
00:57:14
Steve
ah Yeah, I think it's Whitney.
00:57:16
Sammi
I mean, because she does MLM stuff, so yeah, yeah, that makes perfect sense.
00:57:18
Steve
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Whitney. It's Whitney.
00:57:21
Sammi
She's an MLM hun, too.
00:57:21
Steve
Mm-hmm.
00:57:23
Sammi
um Anyway, um this is nice, too. This is a nice highlight. If you want a little razzle dazzle on your face.
00:57:32
Steve
Oh.
00:57:33
Sammi
for the holidays. It's a champagne colored highlight. It's nice. Ooh, yeah, that's nice. It's got a nice luster to it. You won't see it on my pale ass skin. It's just... there're Who needs white correction when you look like me? Just put my face up and that's it. ah Oh, that's just the sheet right that you use. No, this is nice though.
Jilly Box Ranking and Content Discussion
00:57:57
Sammi
it's kind of it's You'll just have to take my word for it. It's got a nice sheen to it. So you can can do that to have a little glowy look for you know for the new year and everything.
00:58:06
Sammi
This stuff is all very cute. um Honestly, I don't know, ranking wise, this is pretty high.
00:58:11
Steve
Good job, Chili.
00:58:13
Sammi
This is pretty high on the list of jilly boxes because I will be completely 100% honest and say the thing that I got in the last box that's supposed to store things is still sitting in my office.
00:58:23
Steve
Oh my God.
00:58:25
Sammi
I know. It doesn't mean that I won't use it. It just means that i it's the middle of the semester and I had any time to organize the house.
00:58:31
Steve
Mmm.
00:58:32
Sammi
And I could definitely put it in about a dozen places. And our our house is a mess right now. It's just like chaos.
00:58:39
Steve
Uh, you know what you could do with that box? You could open it up and put all your excuses in it.
00:58:41
Sammi
What? OK, that's true.
00:58:44
Steve
a
00:58:44
Sammi
Let's say it's 100 percent true and fair. um Some of the things in past jelly boxes I've really been loving and been using a lot. ah Number one, the mushroom necklace.
00:58:55
Sammi
I am obsessed with it. I don't even like mushrooms, but it's really cute necklace.
00:58:57
Steve
Uh oh.
00:58:59
Sammi
um But I will say the one thing that's bad is it got a little knotted. So I have to get on knotted because it won't it won't depend. It won't go back onto the necklace. So, but I have a local jewelry store that, and we really like the jewelry there. So I'm going to ask her if she can help me with that. And then maybe talk to her about some other jewelry.
00:59:17
Sammi
Um, and then, uh, what else? What else? Oh, today, just today I put on that puffer jacket that I got from a Julie box last year, that blue puffer jacket.
00:59:25
Steve
Mm-hmm.
00:59:27
Sammi
It's so warm.
00:59:27
Steve
Oh, yeah.
00:59:28
Sammi
It is so nice today. It was freezing outside. It was like freezing and really windy and just like cut to the bone cold here. And so that puffer jacket saved my life today.
00:59:38
Sammi
Love it. I wear that thing all the time in the winter and it's so cozy. Like it's just like a big hug. So love that. I'm trying to think of some other stuff. um I've been using um the body butter that I got, and I think the last jelly box, I think I got it in the last jelly box, I've been using that.
00:59:56
Sammi
So, I don't know. Liking it,
Celebrating Friendship and Reflecting on Long-term Bonds
00:59:59
Sammi
liking it. I'm really excited about this lighter though. This thing is awesome. Like this is, I'm gonna use the shit out of this.
01:00:03
Steve
Yeah.
01:00:06
Sammi
um Very excited about the candy. Very excited about the cake plate. Very excited about the cake plate. I think that's gonna be fun. Obviously, yeah, I i guess I'm gonna have to save this stuff for my birthday or just like celebrate something else.
01:00:17
Sammi
You'll just have to come over and then it'll be a celebration and we'll make like a pink cake and put the sprinkles on and yeah, there you go.
01:00:20
Steve
Oh, I love that. A celebration of Steve? Steve and Savvy's friendship celebration extravaganza.
01:00:30

01:00:33
Steve
Yeah. It's been a decade. What do we start grad school? Yeah.
01:00:36
Sammi
Like 2014.
01:00:36
Steve

01:00:38
Sammi
So long.
01:00:40
Steve
Yeah. I'm like really old.
01:00:41
Sammi
A decade. I mean, I literally just had this conversation with it with another friend of mine because we've been friends since I think like 2008 or nine or something like that, or even like 2007.
01:00:52
Sammi
I don't know. And we were doing the math and he's like, how long have we been friends? And he's the one who's been helping me build the computer. And I was like, um, like 17 years or something like that.
01:00:58
Steve
Yeah.
01:01:03
Sammi
And he was like, yeah. And I was like, that's not real that's not real yeah that's wild that's wild well wish it did uh anyway so anyway
01:01:06
Steve
Your friendship can almost vote. Right? right
01:01:17
Sammi
um but thanks everybody for being here i can't wait for well this week for the thrilling finale and hopefully by then i mean actually i think my camera did okay i didn't see it pause at all so i think we're doing okay
01:01:28
Steve
No, you did good.
01:01:30
Sammi
um But hopefully very soon I will have like a new set up that won't make a difference to you. You won't see anything. I'm going to sound exactly the same, but I might look a little bit better because I won't be freezing because I have 64 gigs of memory on the way.
01:01:43
Steve
Yeah. And I'm still going to look like trash.
01:01:43
Sammi
OK.
01:01:47
Sammi
You said it,
Promoting Self-care and Positivity
01:01:48
Sammi
I didn't. um But until next time, friends, make sure you're doing nice things for yourself. Like engage in self care for a real. Like if you need to do things, like put on some nice highlight or, you know, make something with sprinkles or just elevate your, you know, like Dolly Parton cake mix and put it on a nice cake plate.
01:02:08
Sammi
Just do that for yourself. Okay.
01:02:10
Steve
Yeah. And don't do needle drugs.
01:02:12
Sammi
Yeah.
01:02:13
Steve
Oh,
01:02:13
Sammi
Took me
Humorous Ending with Maraca Mishap
01:02:14
Sammi
a second.
01:02:18
Steve
ooh this is good.
01:02:20
Steve
Cause if you're watching the video, it looks like a maraca. If you're listening at home without the video component, you think that there's something wrong with the audio track, but there's not.
01:02:34
Sammi
I should stop.
01:02:37
Sammi
I just go the whole like three minutes.
01:02:39
Steve
It's the whole time.
01:02:42
Sammi
Yeah. All right. Bye guys.
