Yeah, we do. Yeah. I actually thoroughly enjoy listening to us. Yeah, me too. Yeah. Like when I edit the podcast, I, I laugh. You do laugh. I edit our podcast in the office. Typically, for the most part. If you know, if things work out well, that's when I edit and Carrie and I share an office. So I am just fucking howling. Yeah. Like I am laughing. I think we're ing hilarious. We are funny. So funny. And I love that for us. So I hope you guys think we're funny too. And it's not just a right. You know, whatever. But I mean, here you are, you're listening to us so Well, we gotta be good at something

Carrie 1:00

Um, can we take a little pause for a second? Of course we can. Um,

Kristine 1:03

we didn't order coffee. Fuck. I'm not taking this out. That's funny.

Carrie 1:07

Yeah. Yeah. I would love it if you did that. Right Now I

Kristine 1:10

have my computer. Yeah. So it makes sense. Yeah. Ah, that's a piss off, right? Yeah. I love coffee more than I like breathing.

Carrie 1:20

Me too. There's some, um, I'm popular opinions that I think we're gonna get very heated talking about probs, about

Kristine 1:27

coffee probs. I know Jace told me one last night. What was it? He's like, energy drinks are better than coffee. And I'm like, fuck you Jace. Don't get get out of my room. My room. Yeah.

Carrie 1:40

Not allowed in there. Not allowed energy drinks. Better than coffee. Do you want the same

Kristine 1:45

thing?

Carrie 1:46

Yeah. Well I want it hot.

Kristine 1:49

You're gonna get it Hot baby. Yeah. Yeah. I already was on the hot section. Half half. Half. Okay. Um, and then half and half Or heavy

Carrie 1:56

cream. Half and half heavy cream is too heavy.

Kristine 2:00

You

Carrie 2:01

got it. Baby Heavy cream leaves a funny film in my mouth. I don't like it. Yeah. Yeah. I really, that's upsetting it. I really like half and half. Um, I, yeah.

Kristine 2:10

I'm sorry about your taste in your mouth. It's

Carrie 2:13

okay. You know what? It's better for you anyways to not have the 85% cream

Kristine 2:17

and you want half calf half. I love that. Our podcast episode today is us ordering coffee. Yeah, I'm actually, and now you

Carrie 2:24

guys know our order. I'm actually about to text Sarah and be like, Hey, there's a coffee coming. Can you bring it up to the podcast room?

Kristine 2:31

Okay. Um, so venti cafe americano slash of half and half. Yeah. One or, oh, sorry. Half calf. Half calf. Yeah. Um, okay, so I think last episode I was talking about the double double, yeah. So on when you order, it says one splash of cream. So I'm wondering if double, double, if she meant like just double cream. Double cream, but she said double. Double. So I was confused. Maybe.'cause it still doesn't make sense to me. I not to double Is two

Carrie 2:58

cream, two sugar? Yeah. I don't want

Kristine 3:00

any sugar in there. So I wonder if that's what she meant by it. Huh. I don't know. Intriguing. I think the whole thing is still stupid. Me too. Me too. I think about it at night. It's just ridiculous. Oh,

Carrie 3:13

that's funny. So I went for an appointment yesterday and the lady that was performing the tests and stuff, she was asking questions and she was just asking about the boutique and all of that stuff. And I was her, I was just talking and answering the questions. And then I thought about last week's episode when you were saying how much you hate talking about yourself and like I was in it, man. Well see, I can like

Kristine 3:35

talk about like work and stuff, but I get really overwhelmed when they start asking me like deeper questions. Yeah. Like, you know, I can answer like, oh, I own a boutique with my best friend. Yeah. We've been in it for eight years. I can do that. Yeah. Get in the motions. But when they start really like talking about me as a person, I start getting very overwhelmed. That's fair. I just. I don't know. I kind of don't wanna bore you. Yeah. With my life. And I also, like, I don't wanna come across as stupid or like, I, I don't know, I just get really nervous. That's fair. Really nervous. It freaks me right out. It's bizarre.

Carrie 4:09

Also, did we talk last week on the podcast about the, uh, dad from gymnastics? That I thought I knew. No, we didn't talk about that. Oz. We didn't talk about that, but let's do that. Oh, because I was gonna be like, oh, mystery solved.

Kristine 4:20

Yeah, well, we'll talk about it and then we can tell him about the mystery solved. Yeah. So at

Carrie 4:23

Scarlet's birthday party on Sunday, there was a, i, we did dad there and I recognized him and I could not for the life of me, figure out how I knew him. And Christine solved a mystery yesterday. We used to work

Kristine 4:33

together, just call me

Carrie 4:34

Sherlock. Well, not together. We worked for the same company. I mean, it was a huge company, so, You would never remember everybody, but I knew that I knew him. Sorry to

Kristine 4:44

interrupt. Yes. I need the four digit code that Uber Eats just sent you. Oh, perfect. I would

Carrie 4:48

love to share it with you. It is 8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1. And then after that it says, never share this code shares it

Kristine 4:57

on a podcast. Ah, classic. Christine and Carrie. Okay. I did it. I placed the order. Okay. Now I can put my computer away and be less distracted. Okay. So it's okay. I've been holding this. Good. Okay, go ahead. So you were, you uh, saw a guy?

Carrie 5:14

Yeah, I finished. Oh, you did? Yeah.

Kristine 5:17

Wasn't listening. Oh, that's okay. Yeah. Yeah. So, I solved it last night. Yeah. I, uh, was like, Hey, my, uh, my best friend that I was, I was with y at the party. She knows you and she didn't wanna say that she knew you'cause you know, it's just awkward and blah. And, uh, he's like, oh, no, always like always.

Carrie 5:36

Yeah. It wasn't even that, it was just he was doing his own thing and I was doing my own thing. Totally. I don't mind asking people like, how the fuck do I know

Kristine 5:42

you? Yeah. Like, interrupt and like mm-hmm. She don't want to do that. So he, uh, he's like, you know what? She kinda looked familiar too, but. I didn't say anything either. I was like, okay. And so we start going through the motions of like, when did she graduate? Yeah. Where did she go to school? And I knew that he was an accountant and obviously carrie's an accountant, so I was like, we're we're matching things up. Yeah. But the graduating didn't match up many years.

Carrie 6:04

No. I looked him up on LinkedIn. Yeah. After. Yeah.

Kristine 6:09

So he, he started asking me like, where does she work? And then I went through the motions again of like, she's my business partner.'cause he knew like what I did. Yeah. But he didn't know who you were. Right. Right. And then I mentioned where she'd worked before and, uh, he was like, oh my God, that's it. And yeah. Then I was like, well, that makes sense'cause like you're friendly and he's friendly and like there's no way you guys wouldn't have crossed paths and like know each other. Yeah. I think he worked on my floor. Okay. That makes sense.

Carrie 6:32

Yeah, because one of the, um, women that he worked with was really close friends with my manager. Oh, okay. Makes sense. Yeah, makes sense. So I just, you know, yeah. Kinda all rolled in together. That's cool.

Kristine 6:45

Yeah. Small world, right? Such a small world. Yeah.

Carrie 6:50

Yeah. Six degrees of separation. So I knew, I knew that I knew him. I just didn't know how I knew him. Yeah, that's cool because he's a little bit older than us,

Kristine 6:56

I think. Yes. Yeah. He's, uh, seven years older than me. Right. So five

Carrie 7:01

years older. Yeah.'cause I, I did, I creeped his link LinkedIn after you told me. And I ended up seeing when he started his, um, accounting designation and I saw that it didn't line

Kristine 7:13

up. Yeah. Yeah. As soon as he told me the year, I'm like, Nope. Nope, not it. I'm like, there's something else though. I was determined to figure it out. There's gotta be something else.

Carrie 7:21

Yeah.

Kristine 7:21

Yeah. Okay. Love that. See, I'm really excited for her. What?

Carrie 7:26

Our coffee. Oh, me too. I texted Sarah and said, please bring Yeah. When

Kristine 7:29

it gets here. That's so good. Oh, can you? Or I can text her. I have my phone today. Yeah. I just want a straw.

Carrie 7:35

so obviously it hasn't been very many days since we recorded the last podcast episode, so we can't really do, what did we do on the weekends? Yeah.'cause it's only been two days, but my last couple days have been fun. We went live on Monday. Yes, we did. And then yesterday was Tuesday and it was a little bit of a fan doer, but we, we made it

Kristine 7:57

happen yesterday. Was such a fan dole. Yeah, it was. So, it was weird. Do you guys

Carrie 8:01

just ever have those days where you just feel like nothing is falling into place and so you're rushing around like a crazy person? Yeah.

Kristine 8:08

Yes. That was yesterday. Um, especially with our

Carrie 8:11

after work. Yeah. So we did fill you guys in about how Jason and I were going on a date. On a date boot shopping. Yeah. And we did, but he texted me at like three o'clock. It was right when I was going into my appointment. Of course. So I couldn't solve any, I couldn't solve any world problems then. Right. But he said lamb leases closes at six. Mm-hmm. I said, what? What do you mean Well closes at six.

Kristine 8:36

That's insane. Which is wild. Me, Kate. So I was like floored that they close at six and carrie's like, well we close at five. And I'm like, Kate. Well that's fine. But we're like a smaller boutique off the beaten path. Yeah. This is like, this is a a store. Yeah. A very popular Yeah. Store that it's in the smack dab middle of the city. Yeah. How could that possibly be close at six? I know.

Carrie 8:57

And what about like the cow folk that come from out of town? Yeah. What about

Kristine 9:02

when are they gonna come? I don't know I

Carrie 9:05

tried on Boots last night. I heard it didn't fit my foot. I heard I was really upset. Which is so weird because my foot was too wide at the back. I do not even have wide feet. That's bizarre. And they're the same brand in the same style as my corral boots that I already have. Like the same? Yeah, the same foot. Like everything was the same. Everything the same. They were just turquoise. Oh, pretty. But I could not get my foot in and then That's so weird. I was like to Jason, like T B D if I'm getting the boot off that I already put on. So I'll let you know

Kristine 9:37

here. You might need your help. Yeah. That's so funny. Yeah. Yeah. So they went shopping and we did the store closed at six. So it started at Fugal. Yeah, because I had an appointment at four 30, Scarlet forgot her gymnastics suit. So I had to somehow get that gymnastic suit to her. So I was starting to set up, me running to the house, going to drop it off at, at one of her friends from gymnastics house.'cause they live near-ish. So I was gonna go run and drop it off there and then go to my appointment. And then I had some shopping and stuff I needed to do and then, Carrie needed to get to Jace to get to the store on time. So then I ended up leaving work a little bit early, running home, getting the gymnastics suit, getting Carrie canceling my uh, the drop off that I was gonna do at the friend's house, called my seamstress and was like, I need to get in right now. Help me. And we somehow managed to get to Jace on time before the store closed. Yeah. But like, let me tell you, I felt like a chicken without his head. The night. Yeah. It was wild. But we,

Carrie 10:41

we, we

Kristine 10:42

got it. Yeah. It was a lot of running around and craziness. Yeah. A lot of back and forth. How was shopping? Lovely. Yeah.

Carrie 10:48

Very successful. Did you find stuff for Jace? For Jace? Yeah. You found stuff for him?

Kristine 10:51

I did. Yep. Yeah. Um, I'll show you. Oh, okay. I can't wait. I have a au It's funny'cause it's like it was in the car this morning. I could show up to you. Show

Carrie 10:58

you. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. So that

Kristine 11:02

Oh, nice, nice. Or I think he'll, he'll really like it. Where'd you get those from? Um, legit kicks in Southgate. Oh, okay. Um, and then, so, because you guys don't dunno what the fuck I'm talking about. I bought, he will listen to this after his birthday. Yep. So's That's why I asked. So he, I bought him a new pair of Jordan's. If you guys don't know, my husband has a huge collection of them. Um, he counted this morning. Yeah. He has over 50 pairs. Nice. So big collection. Yeah. Big, big guy. So, I bought him a new pair to feed the fire here. And, uh, I'm really excited. They're red and blue. I don't know what they're actually called. Um, they've got like a gold emblem on them. On them. They're really nice. They are nice. And then I bought him some Lululemon, um, clothes. I bought him a new pair of shorts, like more like dress looking shorts. Um, which is why I asked you what size he got last night in his jeans. That's funny because I had the 32 in my hand, but I was like, well is this accurate these days? Yeah, it was. It was. So thank the heavens. Um. Bought him a new pair of shorts and then two pairs of shirts. Or two shirts. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. So nice gift. That's so nice. Yeah. I'm excited for it. That's so great. Yeah. I bought him cowboy boots. Yeah, that was really sweet. Yeah. So when he got home, or sorry, when I got home,'cause he is already home. Yeah, he is. He put on the cowboy boots. Yeah. But he had his shorts on still. Oh my God. So he looked like a fricking goober. Yeah. And even Scarlet was like, I am mortified. Like that's mortifying. Yeah. And so he, I'm like, well did you get jeans too? And he's like, yeah. Yeah. So he put them on and then put his boots on. I died. Yeah. I was very concerned of how my very athletic dressing, trendy dressing. Husband was going to look as a cowboy. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Carrie 12:52

I wasn't concerned. Put

Kristine 12:54

on that Morgan Wallen baby. Let's, let's get to it. Yeah. Holy cow. Yeah.

Carrie 13:01

He pulled it off. Yeah. Yeah. When we were trying, when, when we, I wasn't trying on any boots at that time when he was trying on boots in his shorts, I like couldn't look directly at it.

Kristine 13:11

Yeah.'cause it's mortifying. It

Carrie 13:13

was awful. And he'd like, we went over to the mirror to look at the boots on his feet. And I was like, he's like, well, these are nice. I'm like, the boots. Yeah. They're, they're great. You need some jeans. Yes. You desperately need jeans. You are wearing black athletic shorts at this current moment.

Kristine 13:28

Yeah. He was wearing like Nike shorts. Yeah.

Carrie 13:31

Like, come on sir. And so then he, he already had the jeans that he wanted to buy. Oh good. He screenshotted it on his phone and everything. Oh, look at him. So we went and found them. Yeah. He went and put them on. The lady brought the boots back and then he tried on the whole fit.

Kristine 13:44

And did you have like massive hard eyes? Yeah.

Carrie 13:47

Seriously, it, he looks good as a cowboy. I knew though. I told you I

Kristine 13:51

didn't know. I told you I didn't think so. Carrie's sending me messages and I'm sending her gifts of like a guy with like hard eyes and I'm like, is this you right now? She's like, yes. Yeah. And then I was, we were back and forth, whatever. I'm like, I'm like, I love that we're swooning over my husband right now as a team. He looked good. He looks so good, but

Carrie 14:09

like cowboy shit, as we've talked about a like a lot on this podcast is, like I said, my kryptonite. Like I just think that there is just nothing sexier to me than a man in like, Light washed denim. Yeah. Cowboy boots and a t-shirt. Like I just think that is the whole fucking look. Yeah. And I just, I love it. And I always have. Yeah. And I just, like I was saying, when I went to Big Valley, I was so overwhelmed. Yeah. There was so much cowboy.

Kristine 14:36

And I also very much love a cowboy look. Yeah. I love that. They, I had an ex-boyfriend who I felt like just could not fucking pull it off. Yeah. Like, just made me a little bit nauseous.

Carrie 14:46

I know exactly what you're

Kristine 14:48

speaking about. And it, and I was a little worried I was gonna have like Yeah. P T S D from that. From that. Yeah. So I was a little bit worried, but let me tell you. Yeah. Jace pulls it off. I am going to save a horse. Yeah. If you know what I mean.

Carrie 15:02

Yeah. Like it, yeah. Good fit.

Kristine 15:05

Yeah, good fit. I'll post a photo'cause he'll be wearing the outfit on Friday. This weekend sometime Friday.

Carrie 15:35

haven't really planned much just that night'cause we had to buy tickets.

Kristine 15:37

No, but I still like to know. Yeah, yeah. You know. Yeah. Itineraries are nice. Um, okay. Shall we jump in? Yeah. To our unpopular opinion.

Carrie 15:47

Unpopular opinions. I'm really excited about this. This is funny. So, so yeah, go ahead. Oh, sorry. No. So Christine and I have our own unpopular opinions. I don't have many, but I'll, I'll give you the ones that I have and we're gonna just talk about them and then we're gonna start talking about listener unpopular opinions and give our opinions on these unpopular opinions, which I think is gonna be so funny. You wanna kick it off, baby? No, you kick it off. Oh, you have more than me. Okay,

Kristine 16:13

sure. Sorry, I just need to get my list open here. Okay. My first one. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. I think serial's overrated.

Carrie 16:24

Okay. I do not like that at all. Um, if you know me or you've listened to the podcast,'cause I think we've talked about it, I fucking love cereal and I think it is its own meal, you know? And like, you know, on TikTok, the Girl Dinner Yeah. Mine is

Kristine 16:38

cereal. And I understand the convenience of it. It just does not see, speak to me. Yeah. As a, a food. Oh, I love it. Like I, I have been hungry at night. Yep. And like, cereal's an option.'cause like my family is a cereal family. Yeah. I'm just, I'm not one of them. So I go to bed hungry. Yeah. Oh, it definitely doesn't fill you. No, but I'd, I won't even bother. Oh, is what I'm saying. Like, I won't even bother. I won't go, I'd, I'd go to bed hungry over eating a, some cereal. I do not agree with that, but that's okay. Yeah. Okay. That's fine. Okay.

Carrie 17:14

But I fucking love cereal. Like, let me, let me count the waves. I know. I just love it. Nick doesn't

Kristine 17:21

like cereal either. See, he's my person. Um, a few episodes ago I was saying that I bought that cereal at the grocery store. Yes. Still haven't opened it. That's so funny. I need to because I don't wanna waste it. Yeah. But I still haven't opened it. Yeah. Nick's

Carrie 17:34

not a cereal guy either. Yeah. He likes that Raisin almond. Do I crunch shit? Yeah. Which I, I don't mind it either. Yeah. But like, I'm here for like, the Frosted Flakes, the Cheerios, the corn pops.

Kristine 17:48

Corn pops smell like pee. They don't, I call them pee balls in our house. Yeah. Brooke fucking loves that. I just think they stink like urine. Yeah, that's fair. I love them. It's just a, I love them. That's my unpopular opinion. To kick it off. Yeah. You wanna tell me one of yours?

Carrie 18:03

Um, I don't. Like pets. I don't like cats. I don't like dogs. I don't like anything that is alive, that isn't a human being in a home. I don't like them. I think puppies are cute. Yeah, dogs are fine. Yeah. I don't like them. I don't want one. Yeah. I have zero desire to snuggle with a dog in my bed. I just like, I don't like pets.

Kristine 18:29

I'm with you. I just, I had a dog and he's r i p Rex. R i p. But I just, that brings it, I loved him. Yeah. And I loved snuggling with him. Sure. But I'm just, I'm over it. Yeah. I don't want one. I had,

Carrie 18:45

I, so obviously I had a dog as a child. R I P r I Ped Lacey. Lacey. And I begged for her. And it's funny'cause I'm in the same situation with Brooke right now'cause she really wants a dog. Yeah. But I begged for Lacey like, Daily with my parents, and I had to prove my responsibility. Yeah. Before they'd get her for me, I was in grade five. And like, I understand because I loved her, but I don't want another No.

Kristine 19:14

There's just too much that comes with it. And then,

Carrie 19:16

and then they die. They do die. And it's fucking devastating. It's awful. Like we, Lacey um, lived till she was about 15 and we put her down when I was an adult. I was actually pregnant with Brooke when we had to put her down and I was in Maui. Yeah, I was in Maui. I remember that. And I was pregnant, like super pregnant. Yeah. It was awful. Mm-hmm. Aw, no, it's terrible. No, I, I would rather

Kristine 19:44

not. It's, and then there's like, you know, if you're, Animal gets sick or Yeah. The expenses that come with it. Yes. And like just the responsibility. It's so hard to travel.

Carrie 19:54

I was just gonna say traveling, just going out on a whim anywhere. Like kids. Okay. Grab a babysitter, whatever. Take your kids with you. Yeah. You can't take your dog many places.

Kristine 20:05

Yeah, it's a lot harder to do that. Yes, it's a lot harder.

Carrie 20:09

No, I don't want one. Do you remember? Yeah.

Kristine 20:12

You were with us when we were in the airport and the lady had their dog. Yeah, she dropped it. The dog was in a carrier sitting on top of like their carry on luggage and she moved or something and the dog was drugged for, you know, so it's calm on the airplane and she nudged it somehow. But the. The carrier went boop and just fell right off. And dog was like, and they saw the dog was fine, but the dog was

Carrie 20:39

drugged out and like, just like sitting there like it was. And

Kristine 20:42

the, the lady was just mortified, but we were like pissing ourselves laughing. I know. Which is so awful. Bad, bad. But it was, the dog was fine. The dog was fine. It wasn't a big drop. No it wasn't. They in a, like a confined area that they were saying, saying it because it was just a small

Carrie 20:54

carry on. Yeah. Like it was fine. It just like the whole, the whole situation was

20:59

funny

Kristine 20:59

and she was mortified. So like we were kind of laughing Yeah. At with her. Yeah. She was laughing as well. She was just mortified. Yeah. It was really funny. As bad as that is. Yeah. Unpopular opinion. It was a funny situation. It

Carrie 21:11

was fucking hilarious. You know, it was fine. The dog's fine. Yeah. I, so I don't like pets. Yeah. I don't want one. I don't like you do you boo. But like I don't

Kristine 21:21

like it. Yeah. I'm with you. I'm with you. Um, Okay. When, uh, one of mine, this isn't even that exciting. Gift openings at like after weddings are stupid. I hate them. They're, that's fair. I don't like them at all. That's fair. I just think they're overrated and dumb. I didn't

Carrie 21:40

have one. Yeah. Which is great. Thank you. We had, we had like a breakfast. A breakfast the next day. All the gifts were open. Mm-hmm. I opened them that morning and I put them all on the table. So if anyone wanted to see the gifts, they were there. They were there. Yeah. I remember that. But I didn't want to sit there while people watched me open gifts. I don't like that. No.

Kristine 21:59

My, for our wedding, my uncle kv or gave us Jace was there too. Um, a like a spoof gift. Yeah. And it was like a picture of a moose and, and it was like velvet. And I couldn't imagine opening that in front of people and like having to pretend I liked it. Right. Or like had the confusion on my face. No, it was funny gift. He had slept a nice check on the back, so that was cool. But

Carrie 22:26

I don't have a poker face, so if I opened crap, I'd be like, what in the fuck is this? Yeah. Yeah. So we

Kristine 22:33

just, I don't like those.

Carrie 22:34

We just had a small like brunch ish thing at my parents' house the next day. Yeah. People came if they wanted to, but no one had to sit and watch me open gifts.

Kristine 22:43

Yeah. And I bring this up'cause I am going to my sister's wedding this coming week. And, uh, last I started

Carrie 22:50

You were already there by the time this is Ed. Oh, right.

Kristine 22:52

Weird. And, uh, I was just thinking about it. I'm like, God, fuck, I hope she doesn't have anything like that. Like it's a small wedding, so I can't anticipate she's going to, but I just don't wanna, I don't even like watching people gifts. What did you, did you get her a

Carrie 23:03

wedding gift or is

Kristine 23:03

it just your cousins? I am, I am her gift. Yeah. Okay. I will literally put a bow on me. Yeah,

the wedding, so Yes. Godspeed everybody. Yeah. Yeah. I last night I am laying in bed and I'm like reading this stuff to Jason. I'm like, I regret everything. Yeah. It's a big commitment. It's a huge commitment. Yeah. So that's terrifying. Yeah. I am the officiant of the wedding. If, um, you weren't aware and it's, uh, it's gonna be interesting. But yeah. Yeah. Okay. Let me, uh,

Carrie 23:34

We had to shift our entire trip'cause Beyonce's there on the Saturday and hotels were astronomical. I don't understand the hype. I don't understand the beehive. I just don't get it. I don't think she is as great as everyone says she is. Is does she have an amazing voice? Yeah. Is she talented? Yeah, absolutely. But like, what's, what's the like the cult like

Kristine 24:17

following the her? I don't know. So one of my longest friends is like, yeah. Destroyed up. Obsessed. Yes. And like her license plate is Beyonce related. Yeah. Like that much obsessed. Yeah. And I just, I. I just don't understand it. I don't

Carrie 24:33

My list here, um, be hype behind pickleball really floors me. Oh yeah. I don't get it. Maybe it's because I don't play the sport, but I feel like it has just become this phenomenon with the, with everybody. Okay. And I'm just not there yet. You don't get it? I don't get it. I'm not there. Yeah. I think it's weird. Yeah. I don't like the name. They need to change it. I love the name. I, it weirds me out. Okay. I just don't get

Carrie 25:45

it. That's fair. I've never played pickleball. I know what it is. Yes. And I think it's great if I,

Kristine 25:52

if my opinion might change if I put the effort in to understand it. Yeah. But that's like most of these, if I put the effort in, yeah. Maybe I'd have a little bit better. Yeah. But I think the hype is just a little too much. Okay. Alright. And that's my feelings about pickleball. Okay. I apologize. Jace's, like you're gonna piss off like. Like your older crowd, the pickleball people. Yeah. And I'm so, I Great. I love that you have something that you love. Keep that up. Yeah. You're doing great at your pickleball. Woo. I just, that's the hype. Like sometimes my Instagram reel feed is just pickleball. Yeah. And I'm like, well, what the fuck am I here for? I'm, I don't play pickleball. I've never looked it up. Yeah. But whatever. That's fine. Okay.

Carrie 26:43

Okay. Great. Love that for you and your pickleball. I just don't get it. Okay. Is it me now? Yes. Okay. Um, pineapple on pizza is fucking disgusting.

Kristine 26:53

See, this is where we differ. My friends, people

Carrie 26:54

that eat pineapple on pizza are sick fucks.

Kristine 26:58

Hi, it's me. I'm the sick. Fuck. It's me.

Carrie 27:02

I don't get it. I don't know why you're putting something fruity on bread and tomatoes. Like what a weird combo. And then you're gonna throw some ham in there. What the fuck? The, it's

Kristine 27:13

weird. That combo literally makes my mouth salivate. It's the sweet and the salty with the ham? No, the Oh, my. I'm literally, I just have to like swallow. I'm, I am salivating. You sating. I love that combo. And I'll make like little Ritz cracker pizzas at home with like, if I have some deli ham or whatever, I'll throw. Ham and a little pineapple on it. If I have the ingredients, it's rare that I have all of that, but I will make those ies hard pass for this cat. Oh my God. I,

Carrie 27:47

I, I don't like it. And Nick likes ham and pineapple, and sometimes we will get like a half and halfer. Yeah. And then sometimes a little peanut or pineapple. Sometimes a little pineapple sneaks over onto my side and I accidentally eat it. Ooh. Oh,

Kristine 28:02

jealous. Awful jealous.

Carrie 28:04

Awful. It is not good. I

Kristine 28:08

love it. I, I get it. There's a lot of hate for this. This argument will go on for centuries. Yes, I get it. But I, I do love it. Yeah.

Carrie 28:19

Great.

Kristine 28:19

It's gross. And this is, this is where we differ, my friend. This is where we

Carrie 28:23

differ. Yeah. I love it. A lot of the opinions I have differ for us. Yeah.

Kristine 28:28

Say, uh, yeah. I love

Carrie 28:30

it. Okay. Well, it's,

Kristine 28:31

you're a sick buck. Well, now that we're speaking about fruit, I think that melons are the superior fruit. Melons, melons. Melons. Give me some honeydew. I, yeah, baby

Carrie 28:44

honeydew and cantaloupe are my least favorite fruit by a long shot. They're

Kristine 28:50

awful. They're just so easy to eat for me, and they're not like, sometimes you can get like a really bitter strawberry or a really bitter raspberry and it's just, it's too tared almost for me. But there's no such thing as a bad melon.

Carrie 29:05

They're all bad. They taste like nothing. It's like you're eating. Love'em

Kristine 29:08

sweet water. That's what I enjoy. It's sweet water. It's awful, terrible. I love it. That's, no, if there's something melon related on a menu, I immediately gravitate towards that.

Carrie 29:21

Okay. I will give it to you though. Cantaloupe and prosciutto. Yeah. Delish is very good. If made correctly. Yeah. With some, like some. Like als reduce balsamic on top of it to really like pull it together that I will eat, but uh, cantaloupe and honeydew by themselves. Oh yes. Like I would never, you know how,'cause they're really popular in like fruit salads. Yeah. Right. Or like on fruit trays. Like that's a big chunk of it. Is them.'cause they're an in pretty inexpensive fruit. Yes. It's, I, I can eat nothing on that now. I, grapes and

29:55

watermelon.

Kristine 29:56

I have been known to buy like a cantaloupe or a honey do. Yeah. Cut that baby half and just sit there and eat it. Brooke

Carrie 30:02

and Nick really like out of a can. A spoon. Yeah. Brooke loves cantaloupe. So does

Kristine 30:05

Nick. It's so good. Jason also doesn't like that. I know. He, he thinks are trash. They are trash. But I love it. No, love it. Yeah. That's my,

Carrie 30:15

uh, I love that. Um, fruit opinion. This one, this one always ruffles feathers. Oh, okay. It doesn't actually ruffle feathers. People are just like, What? I don't like seafood at all. Yeah. None of it. That's none of none. None. None of the seafood brings me happiness. Not any of it. It is so gross. And I have tried, like, you know, I've tried, yeah. Ive tried so many times to really like seafood and I think it is just the most disgusting flavor that I have ever put in my mouth, and I just don't like it. so seafood, I just, the one time I tried a scallop, and I'll remember this for as long as I live, um, I was at my ex-boyfriend's house and his mom asked me to try a scallop. And I'm like, I don't like that. Yeah. Like, I don't want that. Yeah. And she was like, no, just try it. I'm like, I don't want that. And she was like, just try it. And I'm like, I'm warning you. Like, I don't, I don't want that. She's like, just try it for me. Like, just try it. And I was like, okay. So I put said scallop in my mouth. I took one bite and the texture in my mouth, like, I still, I'm, I'm salivating like, not a good way, like a Ooh, she's

Kristine 31:30

completely repulsed.

Carrie 31:31

Oh. I put in my mouth, I took a bite and when I tell you that texture under my teeth felt like I was eating like a human flesh or something, I don't know what eating human flesh is like, but I imagine it is like eating a scallop and I spit it on her carpet. I spit it out of my mouth on her carpet. And I, she was, she was stunned. And I was like, did I tell you I didn't want that? Or did I tell you I didn't want that, but if I didn't spit it out of my mouth. Yeah. And it was like, it was such a, like an intense like reaction.

Kristine 32:05

Yeah. I would've, I would've puked. I have never also had human flesh, but I, I see the relation, I feel like that's a v pretty good description of a scallop. I just can't, I do however love them and I

Carrie 32:21

so does everybody else. Well, not really. I find that there's like, it's it you do don't, you either love it or you hate it, but I hate it. And I have tried and I have tried crab so many times. I've tried lobster and I don't hate it. Yeah, but I don't love it enough to spend a hundred dollars. Like Yeah, they're expensive. Yeah. That's an expensive food. Yeah. Crab and lobster are not cheap. Yeah. So why would I eat it? Right. Like that's just a waste. I'd

Kristine 32:47

rather eat a steak. Right. Fair enough. Do, do you know what you do enjoy about the crap though? I love cracking. She does. So it's really convenient for me. I also love cooking scallops. Yeah. And you're very good at it. Yeah, very good. She always gets some really nice and golden brown on either side. It's very,

Carrie 33:03

very good. And then still nice and fleshy on the inside. Yes.

Kristine 33:06

It's delicious. Yeah. Yes. But she doesn't like it. No, that's, I've learned to accept it. Ugh. I won't ask you to try it. Okay. I never Thank you. Yeah, no problem. Um, okay. This is kind of a dumb one, but that's fine. It still gives me the ick. Okay. Um, I don't know if it's as popular now, but when people say Saturday is for the boys, or Saturday is for the girls on the internet, Never heard that in my life. I wanna throw something at them. I've never heard that in my life. I, I think it got, it was popular from Barstool Sports. Oh. And so, like, I'll just occasionally see posts where, like a group of guys,'cause I follow a lot of the hockey kids still from like, Ville. Yeah. And then, but also, so I follow these hockey boys and they'll post pictures of them and their friends and, uh, they, uh, it'll be Saturdays for the boys. And I'm like, can, can we fucking stop? No, it's not, I don't know what that,

Carrie 34:01

I've never, I've never in my life. It's awful.

Kristine 34:04

Well, I'm, I'm glad you haven't been exposed.

Carrie 34:07

Can't I can't have an opinion on it.'cause I've never, I've never heard, never heard of it.

Kristine 34:09

I just, that really gives me the ick. It's not for the boys. When people say that a day that's fair is specific to something that's fair. No, it's not. Saturday's just a day everybody has one piss off. It drives me insane. I love that. Yeah.

Carrie 34:26

I would like to let you know that I don't think I have any more on popular opinions. No, I'm out.

Kristine 34:31

Um, I have a couple more. Okay. I'll,

Carrie 34:34

oh, actually I do have one. Yeah. Um, I don't think childbirth is as beautiful as they portray on the media. Amen.

Kristine 34:40

Girlfriend. It's gross.

Carrie 34:42

I don't think, and I know lots of people do and that's fine. That's fine. If you think that, I don't think it is this beautiful, mystical thing that our body is going through. I think it is disgusting. I think it hurts. I think it, it is just, Even after it's fucking disgusting. I agree. Like, there is just nothing beautiful about it. Sure. You're bringing a human into the world and like, how cool. But like, the whole childbirth experience is fucking awful. It's yucky. Yeah. Like, I didn't find, I didn't, you know, that wasn't over. And I was like, wow, that was amazing. Nope. No. Like, never wanna do that again. And like, I love drugs when I'm in labor. Yeah. Hey. Amen. Like, I will bring'em to me. Maybe not that I'm ever gonna have another child, but even if I did, if there was no epidural, I would leave. Hell yeah. Like, I'm, Nope. I, you know what? I,

Kristine 35:37

uh, I Fullheartedly agree with this opinion of yours, Carrie. Thank you. I would give a zero star recommendation on Yelp for child birth. Yeah. Zero stars on Yelp. Zero stars on Yelp. Yeah. No, I couldn't even give it one. No. No. Awful. Zero stars. Not a, it's

Carrie 36:00

Kristine 36:06

Awful for me. Awful. Yeah. I don't like that You can rip yourself open. No, I don't like that. You can get stitches. I don't like that there's 18 people in the room looking at my fucking vagina. Leave that alone. Don't look at it. No, don't think about it. No. I don't care if it's your profession and you see vaginas every day and it's not even a VA vagina to you anymore. It's just like a pen. It's, you see it every day. Yeah. I don't care. I don't like it. Don't look at it. Don't look at me. I don't wanna talk

Carrie 36:36

about it. I didn't like it. Gross. I No, it's yucky. It is yucky.

Kristine 36:41

We're gonna get canceled'cause we don't like childbirth.

Carrie 36:45

I think that there's gonna be other people that agree with us. It's just

Kristine 36:48

gross. I like how I compare a vagina to a pen. Well, I

Carrie 36:52

feel like if you see enough, it's probably just the same as, and I pick up our pen. Yeah. And like, yeah. I didn't like it. So

Kristine 37:01

this is kind of off topic, but topic. So if you're a male gynecologist Yeah. And you're looking at Janss all day long. Yeah. Do you still appreciate

Carrie 37:11

the Johnny at home? I don't know. You'd have to talk to a male gynecologist.

Kristine 37:16

I like how I'm calling it a giant, never once called that before in my life. So that's just a app. That's my question about life. Okay. Anyway. Oh, Sarah's here, Sarah.

Kristine 37:54

Carrie 37:57

number two, when you have number two? Yeah. You have number two. Um, you forget about number one.

Kristine 38:04

Oh, yeah. You, yeah. It, it's like a flashback. Oh, it's like a flashback.

Carrie 38:11

Carrie 38:31

An epidural. It only, yeah. So I was also talking about how I think drugs are the superior way to be. Hell yeah. We should, we should bring a whole stack in this drawer for, we should do

Kristine 38:42

that. Thank you very much, Sarah. Thanks Sarah. Um, okay. Water's better at room temperature. No.

Carrie 38:51

It's a yes for me. No. Yeah. I don't think so. I do not agree. No, I do not. I like, I hate, that's ice in my water cup you guys, because I need it to be cold. Let's see. It

Kristine 39:05

hurts my teeth. It cold. It's cold all the way down. Like I can feel it. Why is it it touching your teeth like it's clinging and clanging around in there? No,

Carrie 39:13

I love cold water. The colder the better. There is sometimes when I'm really thirsty and like I am chugging cold water and I am like, it's like euphoric for me. Yeah. That is a euphoric experience for me. Wow. When I am super thirsty and I drink ice cold water, I, yeah, I love cold water. Yeah. I think it is fantastic.

Kristine 39:34

That's, I it's a no for me dog. That's fair. Yeah. Okay.

Carrie 39:37

Um, I have another one. What is it? I think men and women can be friends. Literal, platonically. Literally right here. Shut the fuck up. That was my next one to say. I'm sorry I took your son. No, I think we, I think men and women, same page, can be friends with platonically. Literally,

Kristine 39:54

females can have friendships with males and males with females, even if married better to have friends than none. I always say,

Carrie 40:02

that's what I always say. Grandpa Joe over here.

Kristine 40:08

Legit. Yeah. I personally, I am happy to be your friend. I'm happy to be his friend.

Carrie 40:15

One of my closest friends is also one of my husband's best friends. Yes. And he actually, while I was married, was our roommate. He lived with us for three years. Yes. And sometimes I just wanted to hang out with him and like just be in his presence. Yes. I. Um, I remember the story really well, but, um, one of my really good friend's, brothers passed away and she called me in the middle of the night and Nick was outta town. He was actually in Hawaii with omi, but that's neither here nor there. Everybody, we won't talk about it. Um, Nick was gone. Him and his dad took a trip to Hawaii together and I was home when she called and I was really, really upset and I went and woke him up in the middle of the night and I just cried. Yeah. And like snuggled him and cried.

Kristine 41:06

I did. He's your person.

Carrie 41:07

I made him let me sleep there because I was so upset. And it was, it was just like if I went, came to

Kristine 41:14

you. Yes. And I think the opinion of that girls can. They should only be friends with other females. Yep. I think that's just really bizarre because like there is another person out there that can comfort you in the time of needs. Yes. And you're gonna, in this situation, you're, if, let's say like, I don't know where the hell I was at that time of your life, at that moment, you lose in monville. See? Yeah. That's not, see, we should fucking ridiculous. That was a bad time. And so like, are you telling me that in a time of need, you should be alone and not go get that comfort you

Carrie 41:47

need from your friend? No. No. We are friends. We're still friends. We still text all the time. Yes. Like, we're just, it's just a friendship. I, and I love him. Yeah. I'm not in love with him. No.

Kristine 41:58

You just love him. Yes. I get that Fullheartedly. Um, I want Yeah. I just want to be friends. Yeah. Yeah.

Carrie 42:06

You know what I mean? Like, and I, and I absolutely respect boundaries if that's absolutely. If that's something in someone's relationship where it's not Okay, I would respect that. Yeah. And that would be the way that it would be. And I would never try to force a friendship with someone whose wife was uncomfortable or whatever it, of course, whatever it may be. But for me and for my relationship and my husband and I wholeheartedly agree on this whole thing. Yeah. It's not, it's not bad. No, I agree.

Kristine 42:33

That's that's it. A hundred percent. Yeah. Jason and I are very much the same way. You guys went on a date last night? We did. We almost went for dinner. I mean, I'm the only one who keeps calling it a date because I think it's funny actually, actually Jason did.

Carrie 42:45

He was like, he was like, are we going for dinner? And I was like, ah. I already told Nick I was coming home'cause we were on our way home. And he's like, okay, I just didn't know how datey this date was.

Kristine 42:53

That's cute. Yeah. Yeah. Like you guys went out and I was explaining to somebody gymnastics yesterday, and I'm like, oh, like. I had running around, Carrie was going on a date with Jace tonight. Yeah. And like blah, blah, blah. And like they were going, doing some shopping and like, that didn't even like, no, faze me none. But then like for them it did. They're like, and I was like, oh, like we're just all, it's all friends. Like, blah. We're not only, we don't share husbands. Um, but like, I just, I just, to me this, that opinion, I understand like you said, boundaries, but the opinion that girls can only be friends with girls and guys, friends with guys. Yeah. It just, it irks me because like if somebody wanted to be friends with Jace, have at it. He's a fantastic guy. He's, I think you should experience not as much as I'm experiencing, but just experience him as a person. Yeah. Because he is fantastic. Yeah. So why, why is that up to me? To hide him and shelter that from Yeah, from the people. Yeah. He's beautiful. Yeah. He is a great guy. Great guy. Yeah. So go be friends with Ja. I am. I was talking to the podcast people don't, he doesn't have time for

Carrie 43:57

that. Okay. No, we can't show him that. But yeah, so that was uh Oh, I love that. I'm glad that my last opinion was your last opinion.

Kristine 44:05

So that's our opinion. Unpopular opinions we have, there's gotta be more

Carrie 44:10

slyly. Um, okay, so I asked on Instagram, I'm British now. I asked on Instagram for some unpopular opinions. Um, Someone, someone just said Beyonce's overrated. Yeah. Um, we already talked about that. Someone said, country music blows. And I immediate block, who is this? You're probably a customer, but like, immediately know. Immediately know. That is, no, we're not even discussing it.'cause that's not a fucking discussion snorted. No, no. Nope. So funny. Um, I hate when my kids go back to school. I want them home with me in summer to never end. That is an unpopular opinion. That is because I am the com I'm mean, I'm not even home with my kid all day. Yeah. And I already know she needs to go back to school. Yeah. She is moody. She is like snippy right now. She's got the attitude she needs to get back to

Kristine 45:06

school. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. It's time. It's time. It's just a, it's a lot. I am full hearted and they, it's just nice for them to be around their people, like their friends and have that. Yeah. It's really hard to coordinate over the summer. Yeah. Um, my kid's busy with lots of camps and whatnot. Yeah. But it's just not the same. It's not the same. It's not the s and

Carrie 45:29

they just come

Kristine 45:29

home like tired. Where at school they can handle a little bit more after school camps. Kill my kid. Yeah. Oh yeah. She just needs to go back. Done. She just needs to go back to school

Carrie 45:39

or just needs that structure. Yeah. She's just really struggling. She's floating right now. Get it, get it. Um, I have another one. Go for it. Hard tacos

Kristine 45:49

are trash. I do like myself a soft taco, but I also really like hard tacos, but they have to be toasted in the oven and not toasted. They just need to be warmed in the oven. I

Carrie 46:00

agree. You do need to

Kristine 46:01

warm up that taco. I will not have an, this is funny for me. I will not have a, uh, just out of the packaged taco because it tastes almost stale. Yeah, it has to be.

Carrie 46:15

I agree. They're not good. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Do you have

Kristine 46:19

one? Yeah. Okay. So I asked on Facebook, on our insiders group tons in here. I have 60 comments. Oh, wow. Um, Is Game of Thrones worth the hype? No, I, to me, I don't think so. No. Um, but I don't, whatever. Yeah. It doesn't, I don't get the hype for that either. Okay. Um, I

Carrie 46:42

ha I have one. Sure. We've already talked about it and I'm sure it's in there. Yeah. Taylor

Kristine 46:47

Swift. Yeah. Yeah. I, people are not getting the hype out of it. And Carrie and I had a discussion that did we, yes. We would absolutely go see her. However, we are not that hardcore swifty.

Carrie 47:04

I don't, I don't understand.

Kristine 47:08

Yeah. And like my whole Instagram right now is every celebrity, every single person on there is going to a Taylor Swift concert. Yes. It blows me away.

Carrie 47:18

And like, I, I am not denying that She's amazing. I'm not denying She's incredible. She's talented. The reason I like her has nothing to do with her music at all. I think that what she has built is phenomenal. Yeah. Coming from like a business owner want, like successful female to another. Yeah. I admire that. Absolutely. I think that is phenomenal. Yep. Because I am like, wow, what a powerful, powerful person you are. A hundred percent. I just don't understand the, the

Kristine 47:55

swifty. Yeah. Craziness. Yeah. Okay. That's a better way to say it. Rather than Taylor Swift, the Swifty

Carrie 48:02

for myself. That part, I don't, I don't understand that. The obsession. No. Yeah. I, and again, I think she's great. Can she

Kristine 48:11

sing? Hell yeah. Yeah. Can she?

Carrie 48:13

Incredible songwriter. Like she's incredible. Like her songwriting skills are unreal, but. Do I think like she is the most amazing artist of our time. No,

Kristine 48:29

totally. I think there's so much talent out there. Yes. And I think there's hidden talent. I don't think everything mm-hmm. Has been discovered yet. Yeah. So I just, yeah, she's, I love her. Great. She's great. Yes. And will I see her if she comes here? Probably. Yeah. I haven't missed a show, so yes, I probably will. Yeah. However, I don't think I'd become that person of a swifty.

Carrie 48:52

No, no. I like, my biggest thing is if we do in fact go to her concert Yeah. People are, are they gonna throw things at me?'cause I don't know all the words because I don't. No, I

Kristine 49:03

agree. I agree. I know a lot of her

Carrie 49:06

older stuff that I do, newer stuff. And then sometimes when I watch the toss of people singing along and they like know all the words and I'm like, I don't know these words. Yeah.

Kristine 49:13

And do you know what really. A lot of her songs are very emotional. Yeah. And I don't do well with my emotions. Yeah. So I just don't really resonate with them as much.

Carrie 49:23

I, that's me because I'm not a super, I'm not a, this is gonna make me sound like such a, like weirdo, but I'm not a super like, deep person totes. I'm just not totes, you know? Yes. I'm just not that way. I

Kristine 49:35

heard he told you I don't like talking about myself. No. You want me to talk about my feelings? Yeah, absolutely

Carrie 49:40

not. I'm just, I'm just not that person. No, me either. So. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. So there are lots of, Taylor Swift is very overrated. Taylor Swift is the most overrated performer of our time. I don't understand. I can't stand Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift isn't that great? There are so many. So many. There's so many. There's one right

Kristine 49:58

here. Yeah. Uh, Taylor Swift is just an average singer. She seems like a nice person and some of her songs are catchy, but she's not the best singer out there. And

Carrie 50:05

I'll agree. I don't think she has the most amazing voice out of any artist out there right now. She's great. Yeah. But she's great. Either way. People are not gonna

Kristine 50:14

like this. Uh, no. People are gonna be very mad. Um, mustard is disgusting, but that's, it is

Carrie 50:21

pretty disgusting. I love it. But it's fine. I like it when it's mixed with honey. Uh,

Kristine 50:26

this one's a good one. Yeah. Big weddings are a waste of money. Oh yeah. That sounds juicy. That's, see, and that's

Carrie 50:34

tough. It is. I had a big wedding. Um,

Kristine 50:38

my opinion on it, if you can afford it Yeah. And that's what you want, go for it. Yeah. If that's, if you can't afford it or if that's not what you want, don't do it. Yeah.

Carrie 50:48

I had a big wedding, uh, 250 people. I got married at the West End downtown. It was a pretty big wedding. Um, fairly pricey wedding. Do I think that 37 year old Carrie would do that again? Mm-hmm. No. Yeah. But I was 22 years old. Yeah. I got married at 22. I started, I got engaged at 21. Yeah. So 22 year old Carrie wanted a fairytale wedding. Right. I didn't care like I, that, it was irrelevant to me. Yeah. I wanted a big, beautiful wedding. Yeah. And you had the option. I did. I did. I was very fortunate that I had parents that were willing to pay for my wedding. Would I do that at 37? No. I would not.

Kristine 51:36

Mm-hmm. I get it. I get it. I, so I, I could see both sides. I had a smaller wedding. Mm-hmm. Um, it was 65 people. Um, and it was beautiful and gorgeous. Would I do that again? I think I'd even go smaller. Yeah. And just have like be the,

Carrie 51:55

the people. So my husband, when we were planning our wedding, wanted to get married on the beach. Yeah. He wanted to get married in Maui. Mm-hmm.'cause it is our place. Yeah. And I did not, and my main reason was because my grandparents were quite old at the time, and they wouldn't have been able to come. So for me that was a no. Yeah. I, now that I'm 37, I would probably fly there and get married there if I was to get married. Totally.

Kristine 52:22

Yeah. So I could,

Carrie 52:25

it depends on your phase of life. Uh,

Kristine 52:27

totally. A hundred percent. You know, there are things that you could probably save your money on though. Yeah. In the big wedding. Probably. Absolutely. Definitely. Yeah. Um, or you next? Okay. I have one. I just, because I think it's funny. Oh, okay. It's funny for you. Okay. Because I know how your, I know your opinion. Yeah. When people say seen instead of saw you didn't seen things, you saw

Carrie 52:49

them. Okay. My number one irk in life is when people say I seen something. And I'm not trying to offend anybody. If that is the way you talk, it's just not right. It is not grammatically correct. That is not the way it goes people. So I am the grammar police. Yes. And I am not ashamed of it. I will straight up correct someone if their grammar is wrong. Yeah. And that is okay, but I don't think that that is grammatically correct. And by think I mean I know and it actually physically pains me and. I, that is my number one ick. And

Kristine 53:35

I can't, yeah, I see. This is why I had to bring it up because I know, but you're so passionate. I'm so, I'm passionate so I needed to Yeah, bring it up.

Carrie 53:46

Um, gr bad grammar. Sorry. Yeah, that's okay. Um, bad grammar is just my thing. I just, grammar was something my mom pushed on me from like really early, like she'd always correct my grammar. I correct Brooks grammar every time it's incorrect and I just don't like it. Yeah. And I don't talk further'cause I don't wanna offend the people. I could go on for days.

Kristine 54:10

It's true. And it's one of my favorite topics to talk about on the side.

Carrie 54:14

Okay, I have another one. Yes. This was a submission. This is not my opinion. Starbucks is overrated. I just fit everywhere as we're drinking our Starbucks. Yeah. Okay. So I get that Starbucks is pricey. I understand it, but as totally as someone who really enjoys, um, Nice coffee. Yeah, like good coffee. I have to respectfully disagree and say you are fucking wrong.

Kristine 54:49

I agree with this statement. You're wrong. You're wrong. Yeah. I love a good coffee. I personally find Tim Horton's is, yes, the price is great. However, whatever they're putting in there is not good for your body because I, it, it just comes right outta you.

Carrie 55:13

It's gro and it doesn't, it tastes gross. It's very acidic tasting. I don't. I don't even really, I was trying to get some, yeah. Oh, I can wait.

Kristine 55:20

No, no, no. I was trying to get some, I was trying to get the, the comments back from earlier and I

Carrie 55:24

closed it. Oh, that's funny. Um, I am someone that doesn't really like drip coffee at all. Yeah. I am very like, My palette, I guess. I'm not trying to sound like a coffee snob, but my husband and I buy really good coffee. Mm-hmm. We make our coffee from an espresso machine, like I make Americanos. I don't do drip coffee. I just am not a big fan of it and I find a lot of coffee tastes very acidic in my mouth and like, so I actually genuinely like the taste of Starbucks. Yep. I do not buy their. Swanky drinks though. Yeah, fair enough. Like I don't drink lattes, I don't drink, um, like they're oat cookie, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Drinks. I just, that's not my jam. Yeah. I don't like caramel macchiatos. I don't like any of that stuff. I go there for the coffee, like I get a venti Americano. I either get decaf or full calf or half calf or whatever with just a little bit of cream, and it's like, it's a straight up coffee. Mm-hmm. Like I, I'm ordering a coffee, coffee and I love the taste of their coffee. If my husband and I are somewhere where we can't make our own coffee, we will always pick Starbucks over anything else because I think their coffee is genuinely good. If you're someone who likes like, weaker coffee or like you don't like, like the strong coffee taste, I can see why you would think that. Yeah. Fair enough. But I like, like I want a coffee. I wanna have to fucking chew my coffee. I want it so like strong. Yeah. Like I want it

Kristine 56:48

bold and I'm a, a flavor person. Yeah. So I do go for the fufu lala drinks. Yeah. I go for the cookie crumble, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Because I. I, I, I enjoy like the flavors. I like mm-hmm.

Carrie 57:01

Yeah. And that's totally fair. Yeah. And you can't get that just everywhere.

Kristine 57:04

You can't get it at Tim Horne's. They're not

Carrie 57:06

gonna give you that. No. No. And I like, I'll, I go to other coffee shops too. Like I just went to a local coffee shop in Sylvan Lake and got a coffee there and it was amazing. I like local coffee shops and I will also frequent them. Yep. But I, Starbucks is consistent from city to city to city and it is always good.

Kristine 57:26

Yes, I agree with that. The consistency

Carrie 57:28

is key. Yeah, because I don't wanna go to a small coffee shop and order an Americano and think it tastes like crap.'cause I don't like the taste of their beans and spend$6 on it. Like, there's nothing more. It's a bummer. Yeah, I agree. That is

Kristine 57:42

a bummer. It's a bummer. It's

Carrie 57:44

a bummer. So that's my thoughts on Starbucks. And like take it or leave it. Yeah. But I don't think it's overrated.

Kristine 57:49

I have an unpopular opinion that I did not put on my list. Oh, I like that, that, and this isn't from here. Yeah. Okay. I think cold pizza or leftover pizza is trash. Stupid. That's stupid. I, that's wrong. Hate it. And I think it just, it actually pains me to even think about having a leftover piece of pizza incorrect. I can't, no. Like I physically can't do it.

Carrie 58:12

I love cold pizza, but I also am somehow, I don't like melted cheese. Yeah. Unpopular opinion. Yeah. Um, I don't like melted cheese, so I struggle with pizza sometimes. Um, there was this one instance when I was younger at Christine's house and we cut, I was there slices of cheese. Yeah. We put them on Ritz crackers and we put it in the microwave and then we ate it. Mm-hmm. I was so sick.

Kristine 58:36

Yeah. After, well, we

Carrie 58:37

overdid it. Of course we did.'cause we were kids as you do. And the cheese made me feel so sick. That melted cheese just s skives me out now. Yeah. So I, that's why I really like cold pizza or I don't like it to be too

Kristine 58:50

cheesy. Fair enough. Yeah, I like lots of cheese and I like it warm and fresh. Yeah. But I like stuff crust.

Carrie 58:58

I can't love stuff. Crust, fucking love stuff. Crust.

Kristine 59:01

Ugh. Yeah. I could go for that right now. Yeah. Yeah. I just, I cannot do the Yeah. Leftover. That's fair. Pizza. That's fair. Nope, not for me dog. And I try to like reheat it in like different ways. So like in the oven I try to reheat it with just like putting it on the pan, throwing in the, in the air fryer. But none of them bring me any sort of joy. Like they just gross me out. I love leftover pizza. I look forward to it. Not for this cap. Um, another one here says mayonnaise with fries.

Carrie 59:30

Love it. Love that. I don't think that's an unpopular, I think that's pretty common. I love it. I love

Kristine 59:35

it too. I think that's pretty popular. Yeah, I do too. I like it. I feel like people enjoy it, but I don't know. Oh, here's another one. Calling people. Toxic is overrated. We all have toxic traits. I saw that. I don't think it's overrated.

Carrie 59:50

I don't either. I, I could wholeheartedly disagree with that, but I don't think it would be a kind discussion. Yeah,

Kristine 59:55

same. I can, I agree. I don't think that's a, but that's, that's your opinion. That's your opinion. I love these. Yeah, these are good. Do you have any more from the Instagrams?

Carrie 1:00:05

We do. I do have one more. And you're gonna be very passionate on this. Okay. Gravy is disgusting. Fuck

Kristine 1:00:11

that. It's delicious. Gravy's disgusting. Who wrote that? I'm gonna send them a very, I'm gonna send them a

Carrie 1:00:19

letter. I have another one you're gonna be really passionate about, but,

Kristine 1:00:22

um, gravy is one of the best things ever invented. Yeah. You can put everything right. Everything with gravy.

Carrie 1:00:30

Everything Fries. Pierogi.

Kristine 1:00:32

Oh, gravy on like just dipping your bread in it, like toast or something. Oh, delish. Yeah. Yes. It's a yes for me. I love gravy. I love it. I could bathe in it. I actually have said that multiple

Carrie 1:00:44

times in my life. I'm not, I don't wanna call anyone out, so, but like, you're wrong. Um, okay. I have one more. Okay. And then we wanna wrap it up. Yeah. We'll do, fuck Maryelle, you're gonna get passionate about this one. Tell me, are you ready? Yeah. Disney

Kristine 1:00:59

is overrated. Yeah. Get bent. Like what? In what?

Carrie 1:01:02

She literally says, at the risk of being banned from L lb, Disney is overrated. At what point is it overrated? She said, and no, I've never been, and I have no right to give an opinion on it. Okay. So feel free to roast me. That's fine,

Kristine 1:01:14

because that's how I feel about pickleball. I have no, I don't know anything about it. I think the hype is dumb. I do too. But, um, but Disney has different, so many different aspects of it that I really like. Yeah. So like, there's the Disneyland, there's Disney World, there's Yeah. The movies, there's the culture, there's like, there's just so many things.

Carrie 1:01:36

So that is the end of this episode. I want you guys to know if you want us to make this into a series. Yeah. Like, do you want more unpopular opinions from us so you can listen? Because we had a lot of fun with this and I still have some more in my, in my pocket. In your pocket. And I think that, uh, I think that it could become a thing. They're fun. They are fun. Yeah. I really, really enjoyed this. So if you guys want more of this, let us know. I

Kristine 1:02:03

do. I want more of it. That was so

Carrie 1:02:05
