On Our Best Behavior
Eggcitement and Unexpected Snow Days
Welcome to another lively episode where we navigate the unpredictable rhythms of family life, especially during unexpected snow days. Energy levels don’t always align, which makes podcasting challenging; however, it’s a struggle many families face. We share insight on how we balance our schedules while discussing the joys and challenges of homesteading. As we dive into the world of egg production, we reflect on the joy of raising our own chickens and the support from our community through endeavors like our egg stand.
Our candid discussion makes room for the reality of school finals, shedding light on the pressures young adults face today. This leads to some humorous moments, like engaging in fun segments such as our “Would You Rather?” game. Sharing laughter over the little things is a core theme of our podcast, where we lightheartedly browse through awkward moments in school.
Looking ahead, we talk about our future plans for the summer—embarking on canning projects that involve growing our own cucumbers and tomatoes, bringing another layer to our ambition of self-sustainability. Join us every week as we blend humor, heartwarming stories, and life lessons into an engaging listening experience that captures the challenges of everyday life. So, come listen, engage, and enjoy as we explore what it means to embrace life’s chaos together! Don’t forget to subscribe for weekly episodes.

I almost felt like Joe Rogan, because you mostly had things set up for me. I told you before we started recording, like if I came home from work and you're like Mom, podcast ready, let's go and I just had to like, show up on the mic. We would be way better at being more consistent with our episodes. Just the thought Crickets. We would be way better at being more consistent with our episodes. Just the thought Crickets. Yeah, crickets, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp. Usually you're good at chirping, no, sometimes, no, okay, so what I have, when do you think is the last time we recorded?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:So long my computer needs an upgrade, so long I didn't remember where to plug in my headphones.
Speaker 1:What do you mean? You got it right away.
Speaker 2:No, remember I was trying to plug it into the computer. And then so long I was like, why can't I hear myself? Because I didn't have the settings set right.
Speaker 1:Oh mama.
Speaker 2:But here we are. And what else I've noticed since we recorded last is we might live in the same house but we have such different schedules when it comes to you know, we just things don't align with your school schedule, my work schedule, the energy schedule is we are never on the same energy yeah, I know, I am a morning person.
Speaker 2:You are a night person, and when I have my energy you do not. And then when you get your energy, I'm like ready to take a break, and then it's dinner time, and then it's busy time, and then everyone's doing their own thing and then it's time to get ready for the next day. And then yeah, and then we're like okay, tomorrow we're going to do a podcast.
Speaker 1:Then we don't.
Speaker 2:And then we're like tomorrow we're going to do a podcast, and then we don't. And I'm like McCoy, we have to do a podcast, but today and then we don't. We didn't because we both had a unexpected snow day. So a unexpected snow day so.
Speaker 1:I didn't have to work. That's how you get to work too.
Speaker 2:No, I got low-needed today because Wendy's what's low-needed it means like Wendy's on vacation.
Speaker 1:Oh, so you're not about to go? Yeah, they had like enough staff.
Speaker 2:They didn't need me to fill in anywhere and I'm A-OK with that. I think it's really nice for my mental.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll take my free mental, although I kind of wasn't because I was ready to do all my finals and lock the fuck in yeah but, well, you told me last night.
Speaker 2:So school got canceled today because we got like six inches of snow and the wind was so severe it wasn't bad when I went out there.
Speaker 2:It wasn't, no, it was bad even I was just out there and it was bad again. It's supposed to be bad till like five anyway, so school got canceled for that, and so then I was like all right, mackie, here's the deal. When you get up, we have to figure out what we're doing a podcast today. There's no excuse, we have time and we should both have energy, because we both got to sleep in and do our thing, and I tried to take a nap and my body didn't want one, so bing.
Speaker 1:Here we are. If you would have took a nap, you would not want to do one.
Speaker 2:Probably, because then I wake up and I'm like, uh, no, I just don't feel like doing anything, uh-huh, ooh. Okay, so there's this podcast that you might have heard of and it's called new heights and it's the kelsey brothers, jason and travis, and you might know that travis is dating taylor swift I didn't know that, but okay you do live under a rock I don't know much about whatever you're going on, do you? Know who taylor swift is yes okay, who is she?
Speaker 1:she's like a singer okay.
Speaker 2:Do you know who travis kelsey is?
Speaker 1:I don't know what he does, but I've heard him before. Yeah okay, he plays for the kansas city chiefs and oh yeah, oh yeah, okay, now okay, yeah, okay okay.
Speaker 2:So anyway, he does a podcast and it's called new heights and I've been listening to it a little bit because I like taylor and I just want to hear him talk about taylor, so anyway, but they do this little bit and it's called new news. And then you say new news. Okay, do it, we're going to do it right now. All right, are you ready for new news? New news, all right. So the four hen homestead is up and running. So that has been really great and successful and the outpouring of love and support from our community has just been so heartwarming to me. I cannot keep enough eggs in that little egg stand. And, yeah, people have just been so kind to me.
Speaker 2:And today we added salted caramel butter. Bars for sale A buck a bar, because they're good, but I can't eat all those. So I thought, oh, I'll just put them in the egg stand. Are they in there right now? What? Bars for sale a buck a bar? Because they're good, but I can't eat all those. So I thought, oh, I'll just put them in the egg stand. Are they in there right now? What are they in there right now? Yeah, I mean, unless they all sold out, did you buy one? Did?
Speaker 2:you tell your friends they're good, um, so, yeah, so I'm very excited about my egg stand. I I am just loving my little homestead world I've been living in and building. I love my chickens, I love bunnies, but my chickens love me more than my bunny loves me. Yeah, like I was just outside checking on them and you know whatever, looking for eggs. It's always like an Easter egg hunt every day Because sometimes they lay in weird spots and I'm like, oh hey, there's an egg Weird.
Speaker 2:But little Buffy, she just came and like sat on my lap and snuggled in and I was petting her and she was purring and her eyes were closed and I'd stop petting her and then she would look at me like why did you stop petting me? She was just all comfy and I never thought chickens would have such big personalities and they're all different. It's really. It's just really, really it's sweet and I've never had a pet that gives back like my. My pets lay eggs that you can eat and they're good like. I never want to eat store-bought eggs again is that they don't even taste any different they taste way more like rich.
Speaker 2:No, you don't think so last time I made you their eggs, you said these are really good yeah, I'm like they're really good, okay. Well, your, your opinion doesn't count because you're only 16. How does it not count because you don't know enough about you. Know what we should do. We should buy store-bought eggs?
Speaker 1:yeah, you should, and then we can do.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna say you take, taste these eggs and then you taste these eggs and then you tell me which ones are better, and then no you should have like you should blindfold me. Yeah.
Speaker 1:And you should put a label on one that says chicken egg and the one that says store egg on the plate, and you give me one and I taste it and I taste the other one. Okay, and then I have to pick. You take the label off and I pick which one I think is better.
Speaker 2:Okay, before I take without you knowing, yeah, like I take the label off after yeah, I get it yeah yeah, yeah, we should do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we should do that.
Speaker 2:Do you have anything to talk about?
Speaker 1:Absolutely not. I don't ever know what to talk about, man.
Speaker 2:There's nothing like interesting going on. Well, I can tell you some things that you could talk about. You could talk about how your friends called me an old hag. No one calls you an old hag, that's what you said.
Speaker 1:As a joke.
Speaker 2:Well, my feelings are still hurt.
Speaker 1:How would they hurt? No one called you that.
Speaker 2:You told me that they did. No I said no, and then a few days later, when I told you that I was sad, you said I was just framing. Nobody said that I was just setting them up and I'm like do you know how butthurt I've been about that? It was that bad yeah, because I just envisioned myself looking like an old hag and then I was like oh, that's so not cute, what the heck. All All right. So anyway, since you don't have anything to talk about, I'll continue to talk about my boring life.
Speaker 1:Your boring life.
Speaker 2:So my next endeavor is I want to grow some cucumbers and tomatoes, because I really want to start canning and in my mind canning you know like pickles, oh, okay. Salsa. So, anyway, that's what I'm going to start with, maybe spaghetti sauce. You should make some pickles Pickles for sure pickles.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, yeah salsa, um.
Speaker 2:So anyway, that's what I'm gonna start with spaghetti, maybe spaghetti sauce you should make some pickles, pickles for sure, so I'm gonna start with pickles.
Speaker 2:And you know, my brain wants to go to like, oh, I want to make pickles, I want to make salsa, I want to make marinara sauce, I want to make jellies, I want to make. You know, my brain just is like all these things and I'm like all right kelly slow, I'm like all right, kelly, slow down. Let's start with cucumbers and tomatoes, and what can we can with that, and how well does it go? So that's what I'm going to do this summer. I'm going to grow some vegetables for canning.
Speaker 1:Okay All right, I want you to make me some good pickles, spicy ones, you want spicy ones. I like those radish ones, spicy and sweet, and I want to make enough for my little farm stand. Okay, so I can give to the community Okay.
Speaker 2:How long does one jar last you?
Speaker 1:A long time.
Speaker 2:Depends. If they're good, they don't last that long. So I've wanted to can for a long time, but I've always really been super intimidated by the canning process. But, um, I'm definitely in my homestead era, so I'm going to be working on that so if you yeah a lot of people are in their sourdough era right now, and that's not me.
Speaker 2:I hate making bread because it's so tedious it's tedious because it's so many steps and waiting, so it's like you have to do this and you have to let it, and you have to let it rot, you have to let it do whatever process and then, after so long, then you do the next step and then you let it do that for how long? And I don't, I don't that's not my thing Like I lose, you know, I kind of have ADD, like you, and so I lose my focus and I lose my desire to complete that task because it takes there's too many long process steps. Am I boring you?
Speaker 1:No, I'm talking about sourdough. I just feel like getting a stretch in.
Speaker 2:And I feel like enough people are making sourdough that I don't have to, so you guys keep making your sourdough.
Speaker 1:I know you two people give a sourdough.
Speaker 2:And I will keep making salted caramel, butter bars and stuff. Okay, mackie, I wrote down some things that I want you to talk about, because I knew you would come to the table with nothing.

Speaker 2:So you just looked at your final grade. Yeah, if I'm at the passing grade it.
Speaker 1:But if my grade is fucking like cooked, I'm gonna look and be like oh shit, I gotta get shit done now, now I gotta work, okay, yep, so math and science.
Speaker 2:Okay, how do you feel like? How are you feeling about those?
Speaker 1:I'm more scared for my um, my science, because I literally just turned in so much work in my math and it should go up. And my science. I'm like at a, c, what happened? Dude, I don't know you're great you had like all a's and b's honor roll student.
Speaker 2:What happened?
Speaker 1:I did okay on one test and my grade went down like five and I went down from b minus to c. Bro, like okay.
Speaker 2:well, you know what happens, okay, so we're gonna just talk about your grades really quick. I know you know what happens, okay, so we're going to just talk about your grades really quick. I know you know what happens, but I'm going to remind you, if you end the trimester with anything less than a C, including a C minus A.
Speaker 1:C minus is bad. I thought we said a C minus. No, the worst I could have.
Speaker 2:No C or better, or you are grounded from your Xbox for the entire try until you get your grades up again.
Speaker 1:How do I get my grades up again?
Speaker 2:For the next try. You're grounded for the whole try. And at the end of the try. If your grades are all a, c or better, then you're ungrounded from your Xbox. That's fucking crazy. Yeah Well, you know what your job is school. So if you can't do your job, c minus is like it's not. It's less than satisfactory.
Speaker 1:What is satisfactory, good enough. I don't know what good enough is.
Speaker 2:A C.
Speaker 1:A, c is satisfactory.
Speaker 2:Yes, Less than a C.
Speaker 1:So a C minus a C.
Speaker 2:Either is a D, but that's unacceptable, okay okay, yeah, d is bad yeah, but like I mean, I'm just kidding whoa mom oh, it couldn't help it, it's just a joke. When you haven't had the d in a long time, you want it okay, so anyway, just kidding. Okay, um, so anyway, yes, a c minus is less than satisfactory it's a little bit less.
Speaker 1:It's, yep, I don't, just a little bit less than satisfactory.
Speaker 2:Yep, I don't do a little bit less. I feel like asking for Cs is not asking for much. It's kind of hard, though, and also you'll be getting yourself a job if you can't get decent grades just going to school.
Speaker 1:I already am going to get a job though when?
Speaker 2:What happened to your subway job?
Speaker 1:Never got shit back from that. I didn't get anything back. I can't help that. Okay, whatever, all right.

I've never seen you that, like I've never seen you actively find a movie to watch and watch the entire thing by yourself. What that's not like you, it's not like you to like turn on the TV and find a movie and be zoned into it. I never see you do that.
Speaker 1:I got a good movie because I knew I could just do my homework too. I know I wouldn't be able to just focus on one thing.
Speaker 2:You need multiple things going on.

Speaker 2:All right, I'm not even going to know my phone's blowing up with people wanting eggs.
Speaker 1:Eggs.
Speaker 2:Eggs, all right, owl tree. Hey Siri, hang on, it doesn't really work like that. Tell me the definition of owl tree. Well, it doesn't even come up as anything.
Speaker 2:Let's see, let's see. I'm going to try it one more time. That's because it didn't even hear me say owl tree, Go. An owl tree is where an owl. Oh my God, an owl tree is a tree where an owl lives or a tree that someone associates with owls. The owl tree. Granny Diamond tells Joe about an owl tree that grows in her neighbor's lawn. She describes seeing an owl perched in the tree and it cheered her up. What does it mean?
Speaker 1:Well, it doesn't even I mean, it probably does mean that but, when you say it, what are you referencing? Don't worry about it.
Speaker 2:No, I'm worried about it because you say it all the time. It means owl tree.
Speaker 1:Owl tree.
Speaker 2:Certified turtle.
Speaker 1:Why are you saying that?
Speaker 2:again, because I never did. While going for a goal, quickly flip on top of your car and hit the ball into the goal wall upside down. This is on TikTok, and there is also a song. Oh, here it comes. I don't know if you can hear this.
Speaker 1:What's your name, dude? Certified turtle, are you out of your fucking mind? Get him out of here, man.
Speaker 2:Is this what it is?
Speaker 1:Ninja turtle looking motherfucker. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2:What's this guy? What's your name, dude? Oh, that's it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's so retarded.
Speaker 2:His name is Okay, McCoy this is so stupid.
Speaker 2:Okay. So anyway, I'm going to tell you something terrible that happened to me. I came home on Friday night, it was really windy and I was in my backyard and it was dark and all of a sudden I could tell that my snow globe was not there anymore and I couldn't find it anywhere. And the next morning I went outside and I found it down on 10th Avenue, in the road. It was in the road, yes, and it's ruined, and I'm mad. It's ruined, it's ruined road, yes, and it's ruined and I'm mad it's ruined.
Speaker 1:It's ruined how.
Speaker 2:Because people probably ran it over. It blew down the road and got all scuffed up and now it's just laying on the side of the house, all broke. So I'm really pissed that I paid a lot of money for it.
Speaker 1:How much did you pay for it?
Speaker 2:I don't know Like $170. And now it's up and I used it like three times so don't ask me about my snow globe, because I'm mad, okay well, we can patch it up.
Speaker 1:Okay, we'll see. Well, I don't even know, it depends how fucked it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah do you know how to sew? Maybe we could sew the panels back together. I haven't even put it up, I'm just the panel makes me want to cry.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't. I didn't put it back together, so I don't even know you're right, it might be okay, but I'm still pissed.
Speaker 2:All right um, I think I have one more. Oh, I have a few more things. I thought I was done yeah so something new that I did.
Speaker 2:I'm still not drinking alcohol that's good I did have a dream last night that I ran into gwen stefani and she bought me a drink and so I drank it. Okay, which is weird that I dream about stuff like that. I do. I have had dreams where some people have, like, given me something to drink and then I took a drink of it and it was alcohol and I was upset that, like I was, didn't want to drink alcohol and then it ruined it for me.
Speaker 2:Uh, so anyway, omni brewing in Maple Grove. They have coffee flights. It's a brewery where they serve alcohol but they also serve coffee. So I went there on Saturday, had this coffee flight, and every single one of them was good. I'm trying to remember. There was like a lavender matcha, there was like a salted caramel mocha, there was one called like a cherry bomb and it was like chocolate cherry. It was good. And then there was another one was one called like a cherry bomb and it was like chocolate cherry. It was good. And then there was another one that was just like a vanilla mocha or something like that, but they were all good and they had some other ones there too.
Speaker 2:Um, so check it out, but it was busy as shit up in that joint, but I would 10 out of 10 recommend all right. So you may have seen on my snapchat story that I was hatching some eggs so that I could have my own little baby chicks. I wanted to hatch baby chicks and none of my eggs hatched, and so I was really sad and scared because I didn't know why they didn't hatch and what happened. And then it was like do you crack them open and see what's in there? And I was really scared to do that, so I went on a deep, dark dive on YouTube and.
Speaker 2:I YouTubed dissecting hatching eggs that didn't hatch and I was scared because some of them looked like dead baby chickens and some of them look like nothing. And so I had 18 eggs and I opened all of them and none of them were fertilized, meaning they never developed into anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I just had them in there for no reason.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I was relieved Like I don't, I didn't, it wasn't my fault, I didn't do anything, like there's no way those eggs could have ever hatched. But now I got some new eggs and I'm trying to hatch them and I think I'm on day 11 right now. So that means all right, count down 11 more days until hatch time. So I'm really hoping that these little babies hatch. But this time I put like a chromometer, hydrometer, in there and so I can see the temp and the humidity levels at all times. So hopefully that works. And I told the lady who I got these from shout out, I think it's called Kisslinger Homestead in Now. Then She's's like these are definitely fertilized, so they will hatch. So anyway, I'm excited to see if I hatch some babies in 11 days.
Speaker 2:Anyway, last night I made my chicken bacon alfredo and that is my favorite dinner that I make, like usually when I make dinner, like it's mediocre to me.
Speaker 1:to me, I like the crumbly bacon.
Speaker 2:Because I just feel like I made it. So it's like you know, when somebody else cooks, it's always better.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, it's always better.
Speaker 2:Not this, this Alfredo sauce that I make from scratch. It is so good. I was so full last night because I just wanted to keep going.
Speaker 1:And that's not me, I get full fast. Yeah, when they were just afraid of us, I'm like I'm gonna.
Speaker 2:You're like I'll take your plate. I'm like, oh, I'm eating all of this sauce like I'm spooning it up. Oh, my god. Um, I'm excited, for I've been having really bad headaches, and what I do at night, I know why I get them it's because I clench my jaw tight and I'll catch myself doing it even when I'm awake I'll be like open. Open your jaw.
Speaker 1:Like I don't know why I do that but, I, do so.
Speaker 2:Anyway. I ordered myself a mouth guard and it came today, and now I'm going to mold it to my mouth and I'm going to be an old hag. An old, what An old hag. And I'm going to put it in tonight. How does that make you old? In my old hag jammies with my old hag mouth guard, my old hag bun. But you're not old and I'm going to go to bed at 8.30 like an old hag.
Speaker 1:Are you actually going to go to bed at 8.30?
Speaker 2:There's something gross on my foot. What is it? It feels like Pick it up. I can't see. I need a light Hang on.
Speaker 1:It's literally just your skin.
Speaker 2:No, there's like a lump there.
Speaker 1:Oh God, here I am. It's probably cancer.
Speaker 2:And I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1:Mackie, Did you know my daddy got cancer cut out of his neck.
Speaker 2:He did. Yeah, what the fuck, no yeah you got cancer.
Speaker 1:What kind of cancer did he have?
Speaker 2:I don't remember I had my neck cut open. Remember they thought. I had cancer, but I didn't.
Speaker 1:Yeah, did he have lymphoma? I don't know what it's called. I ask him when I go over there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, is he going to be okay?
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's fine yeah.
Speaker 2:Did he have to do like chemotherapy?
Speaker 1:No, it was like he just started growing there and he was like no, he went to like you know, like the skin thing where they get a skin sample, and they said that he had like cancer, like growing somewhere, so they cut it out before it could do anything.
Speaker 2:Okay, so was it pre-cancer. Now I'm scared.
Speaker 1:Yeah, something like that. He's fine though.
Speaker 2:Okay, he didn't have to do any treatment.
Speaker 1:No, Other than just he said. The last time I was over there he said I let the Do you have to? Have that where they took it out, just heal up.
Speaker 2:Is he okay now? Yeah, Okay. Well, that's really scary man. I didn't know that. How long have you known that for?
Speaker 1:Like since last time I went over there.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's not very long. When did he have surgery?
Speaker 1:I don't know, like when I was like the the week before I went there, like I'm guessing, recently. No, like I don't know, I just went, like you know, when I last time went over there yeah, not the weekend, I was with you before that okay, so like christmas time. I don't know, I can't tell you, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Okay, but he's okay, yeah okay, um, all, right, now I feel really dumb, but I'm gonna go on, so I'm gonna do my mouth guard I got guard. I got my flat back earrings today, so that way when, I lay down they don't hurt me. I've really been struggling to find a good pair of earrings that don't hurt me. All right, something I learned, something new that I learned.
Speaker 2:I learned something new. Do you have something that you learned? No, you're supposed to have. This is a segment that we do every time. No, you got nothing. No, all right. Last night, when I was helping you with your homework, I learned something about financial aid. I learned what the cost of attendance is, because I did not know what that meant.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And it means the total cost of attending school for one year. Total cost of attending school for one year. So it means like everything Tuition, any extra fees, any housing or rent costs, food costs, books, supplies, transportation, everything and I never remember hearing that term when I was doing financial aid or going to college. However, my parents also One more. That's weird. I just got a weird message. My parents didn't help me do anything for financial aid. So this is all new to me and I'm happy that we're doing it when you're only in 10th grade and, like I said last night, we really need you to get into that STEP program. I really want you to go talk to your counselor so we can figure that out.
Speaker 1:So are you going to go do that this week please? I don't even know how to get a count of the thing.
Speaker 2:You ignore the offices. You just go there and say, hey, I need to talk to my counselor about doing the step program next year.
Speaker 1:Okay, you got to be a big boy, I'm not a big boy.
Speaker 2:Put your big boy undies on and we need to figure that out. So that is on you. You need to do that tomorrow. What's that?
Speaker 1:It's a snow globe.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, Alright hang on.
Speaker 1:Can I do it on Friday, because I have all my freaking tests and finals.
Speaker 2:Okay, fine, fine, alright, that's it, that's all I had. So do you have? Alright, so almost done. Would you rather? And do you still want to hear my joke, or you don't want to hear it?
Speaker 1:It's not about buttholes.
Speaker 2:So there's that, Okay, would you rather? Are you ready? Oh?
Speaker 1:I didn't hear it. You're really quiet, ready. So what did you rather do? I just said it. Oh, I didn't hear it, you're really quiet.
Speaker 2:Ready. So what would you rather do? I mean, I know your, would you rather, so I can answer it, but everyone else might want to know it.
Speaker 1:Would you rather have a pointy nose or would you rather have pointy ears?
Speaker 2:I think I'd choose ears, because I can cover my ears with my hair or a hat.
Speaker 1:Probably pointy ears as well, yeah.
Speaker 2:Unless I could get a nose job. Otherwise I feel like the nose is just the center of your face. Everyone sees it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you look like Gru who Gru you know from. Oh, despicable Me.
Speaker 2:And I feel like pointy ears. You could tell little kids like I'm one of Santa's elves, okay.
Speaker 1:No, no, that's cute, I guess you could say that you could say that it's fun. Like yeah, I can't. I used to be an elf, yeah.
Speaker 2:Retired.
Speaker 1:I'm an old hag now Okay mom, why are you even saying that?
Speaker 2:Do you feel bad yet? Yeah, yeah, can you stop? It was a joke and no one called you it. You told me they did, so I didn't know, but no one did. No I know it was you and I told you like a week ago that no one did and you're still on it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I am Bro. I have feelings. It's that deep.
Speaker 2:I have feelings it's that deep. Yes, do you know what your love language is?
Speaker 1:What is that?
Speaker 2:You don't know what love languages are. No, I do my love language is words of affirmation, which means, if you tell me good things about myself, that is my love, that makes me feel loved and happy and great.
Speaker 1:So when you say oh mom, you're beautiful.
Speaker 2:Oh mom, you look nice today. Oh mom, your makeup is nice. Oh, I really like that outfit. Oh mom, this is really good dinner that you made. Oh mom, yeah, all these great things that's my love language.
Speaker 2:Okay, so the options for love languages are words of affirmation, acts of service, doing things for other people. There's like a gift giving one. I don't know all of them, let me. I'm gonna look this up though now, because now we're in it, bro. What are the love languages? What are the love languages? All right, five love languages. I don't want to read the book.
Speaker 1:Just tell me what they are, okay.
Speaker 2:Words of affirmation, physical touch, so like if people touching you makes you feel nice.
Speaker 1:That's kind of weird.
Speaker 2:Quality time, spending time with people, acts of service, showing love by doing things for someone that makes their life easier, or receiving gifts feeling loved when someone gives you a thoughtful gift.
Speaker 1:I'll take the gift. I'm taking the gift.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I'm taking the gift.
Speaker 2:So receiving gifts is your love language. So when people give you things that makes you feel loved, okay I figured that would be so anyway, what do you mean? Words of affirmation, not words of negativity, old negative hag negative but like what?
Speaker 1:if it's like the truth, then the truth could be like. Okay, that's fine, but sometimes Is it that yours does hurt?
Speaker 2:So is it true that I'm an old hag? Then don't say anything. Then keep your mouth shut. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, unless I say McCoy, I want you to tell me the truth. I'm ready to hear it. You zip it. You zip your fucking lips. Okay, are you ready for a funny joke? And then we can wrap this up. Yeah, it's totally PG, maybe even G. Why just the G?
