Speaker 1 (0:04) Hey guys, welcome to week five of Experts on Almost Everything. We missed you last week. We don't really have an excuse for anything. We just, the election stressed us out and so we're here. This week we're talking about, well, a little bit of everything. We don't really have a plan this week because we thought we could just be fun and have a good time. So stay tuned. Speaker 1 (0:33) Hey guys, it's Jade and Marissa and you're listening to Experts on Almost Everything. We missed you last week. We've been off for a whole week. Speaker 2 (0:41) Yeah, and then I've been off two weeks though. Yeah, Speaker 1 (0:43) but you needed Speaker 2 (0:45) that. Speaker 1 (0:45) I did. I mean, we really needed last week off because of the Speaker 2 (0:50) whole Speaker 1 (0:50) election nightmare. That's some shit. Yeah, they're still trying to decide if we have a president yet or not. I Speaker 2 (0:57) saw there was different like now Trump's winning, I saw that. And that could be a total lie, but I don't know. I'm just saying. Honestly, I have no idea who's going to be the next president. I thought it was going to be Biden because Speaker 1 (1:07) that's what was said. Speaker 2 (1:08) That's what Speaker 1 (1:08) the news said. Right, yeah. Speaker 2 (1:09) But Speaker 1 (1:10) now they're recounting all the votes. It's just, let me go see if I got this picture. A hot dang mess because, you know, I'm tired of politics. So this podcast is not going to be talking about that, though. See, look, look. It Speaker 2 (1:23) said 232 to 227. Yeah, Speaker 1 (1:25) but are we going to trust that random ass Facebook post you screenshotted? You need to get back on Parler with your shit. No! I told myself I wasn't going to do that. No, I saw all these people on Facebook posting that they were going to go to Speaker 2 (1:41) Parler. And Speaker 1 (1:42) somebody commented on one of these posts saying, like, this isn't the airport. You don't have to state your departure. And I laughed. So hard. Hunter has been bringing it up every time. Speaker 2 (1:53) That's hilarious Speaker 1 (1:53) though. Speaker 2 (1:53) Very Speaker 1 (1:53) witty. Yeah. Some people are better at that than me. I'm not. Yeah. So Marissa. She Speaker 2 (1:59) is. She is. Speaker 1 (2:01) We do have another random person in the room. She may or may not speak. If you hear from her, her name is Star. If not. Hey people. We just have another friend in the room who wanted to see how things work out for us. So no pressure to her though. So Marissa, how was your week this week? Or past two weeks? Just a lot of work. Getting used to Speaker 2 (2:24) overnight shit. Yeah. Speaker 1 (2:26) Yeah. I actually had today off. Did you have today off? Speaker 2 (2:29) Yes, I have Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights off. Oh, yeah, we talked about how Mondays are basically your Fridays. Basically. Basically. It doesn't really feel like it, though, because I'm working off until Tuesday morning. So then Speaker 1 (2:39) Tuesday morning Speaker 2 (2:41) is my time. I don't know how you Speaker 1 (2:42) do it again with the whole, we talked about new jobs like a few weeks Speaker 2 (2:47) ago. I don't know how, it's all right, though. It's all right. I actually Speaker 1 (2:50) don't mind it. Speaker 2 (2:51) Yeah, Speaker 1 (2:52) yeah. Today is Veterans Day. We are filming on Veterans Day. Yeah, so thank you to all the men and women out there who served our country. We're super thankful for you. If you know of that, go thank them from us and from you. I done did that. You did, yeah. You saw that? Oh, yeah. You made it to the big. Damn. I don't star you, though. Like, I don't know. You don't like it or nothing? Shit, man. Now you're not that good enough. Shit, okay. Speaker 2 (3:20) Okay. I'm just kidding. Speaker 1 (3:22) I'm just kidding. But I don't like everybody's posts. Speaker 2 (3:25) I don't either. You know, I got really mad at my sister. If she listens to this, she's gonna be mad. I literally was scrolling through Facebook, and every single body, everybody's post, it said Megan Cometh. Speaker 3 (3:34) Megan Speaker 2 (3:35) Cometh. I texted her. I said, Megan, what are you doing? She said, what are you talking about? I was like, why are you commenting on everybody's post? You spamming or what? She goes, what are you talking about? She had posted, like, she had commented on it in Halloween and shit. And my bro, it's November. Okay, so I don't Speaker 1 (3:49) know if you know how the Facebook algorithm works. Probably not. Speaker 2 (3:52) Probably not. But Speaker 3 (3:53) since you're close to Speaker 1 (3:54) her and you interact with her a lot on Facebook. I see a lot of her shit. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It was fucking flooded. Speaker 2 (4:01) Flooded. I was like, damn, Megan, what are you doing? She's Speaker 3 (4:04) probably, like, my sister-in-law. Are you talking about, like, in your notifications bar? Speaker 2 (4:08) No, no, no, no, no, Speaker 3 (4:09) no. Speaker 2 (4:09) You can turn that off. No, no, no, no, no. I'm in the feed, right? I'm just sitting there scrolling. It said, Megan coming on this. Megan coming on this. Megan coming on this. Oh, my God. Megan. She's all over Speaker 3 (4:20) Facebook. She has the time. I don't know, man. Speaker 2 (4:23) You know what? She's at home now. Oh, yes. The baby. Speaker 3 (4:26) Yes. Speaker 2 (4:27) The baby. That's correct. Speaker 1 (4:29) Yeah. Her sister just had a baby. How old is the baby now? You know what? Don't ask me that. Speaker 2 (4:34) She was born in May. You do the math. Speaker 2 (4:38) Almost five? Yeah, almost five. Almost five months. Look at me go. Speaker 1 (4:42) Yeah, I got salata today, the fancy salad place, and I was holding my little niece, and the lady behind the counter was like, oh, how old is she? And I was like, this is not mine. I don't know. Speaker 2 (4:53) This Speaker 1 (4:53) is not mine. Don't ask me questions. I don't know. Yeah. Speaker 1 (4:58) So now that we know how your week has been, it's been good. I'm actually raising money for a friend right now. So if you listen to the podcast and you feel like donating or taking pictures with me. Search us on Facebook. Search Jade on Facebook. Don't be searching me. Yeah, Marissa. I don't Speaker 2 (5:16) want Speaker 1 (5:16) to report. I think you shared it, though. So that's the part that counts. Did I share it, though? Okay. Now we're in trouble. Because I think you posted like three different ones. I may have shared maybe like one. That's okay. Any of them. I saw that one of the first one I posted had like 25 to 30 likes. So that, or not likes. Shares. Wow. That's good enough for Speaker 3 (5:36) me. Well, I was basically Speaker 2 (5:37) spamming people. Good for you. Speaker 1 (5:40) PMing them and being like. I'm proud of you. Thank you. If you don't feel like you can purchase a picture package or whatever, at least share the post and get the word out. You know, so that's what I. I spent way too much time yesterday doing that. So, yeah. My next few months are going to be hectic taking all these pictures that I promised people. But I am very excited. And it's all going to a good cause. A friend wishes to remain anonymous at this time. But just know that I don't get any of it. It's all going directly to them. Speaker 2 (6:09) Look at you being fantastic. I know. Just a wonderful soul. Speaker 1 (6:14) I'm actually the devil. I fooled you. Yeah, so I was telling a friend of mine that, oh, we've raised $1,200 and I have a few more lined up. So hopefully we'll hit $1,500 within the next day or so. And she was like, honestly, that's intimidating that you can just pull in that kind of money. And I said, it's not me. It's other people, you know. Speaker 2 (6:40) I Speaker 1 (6:40) wish. I really saw the good come out in people with this. Like, I had a friend who lives in Oklahoma who, she's a wonderful soul. Cherie, I love you if you're listening to this. Speaker 3 (6:52) Shout out. She can't afford the photos. Speaker 1 (6:55) And she, I mean, she lives in Oklahoma, so I'm obviously not going to be able to take pictures of her. But she still donated $20 just from the kindness of her heart. And I was like, you go. You go! You can call Speaker 2 (7:07) it digital love. Right there. Speaker 1 (7:08) Okay, enough ranting. I'm sorry. Speaker 2 (7:11) Yeah, we talk a lot. I know, Speaker 1 (7:13) I know. Poor Star is probably like, this is all they do. We Speaker 3 (7:17) just Speaker 2 (7:17) ramble. Yes, it is. I Speaker 1 (7:19) love to hear it. Yeah, I mean, if you need a daily dose of random women talking in your life, you're here. You're at the right place. You've searched the right names. Maybe that's what we should name it. Random... rambling from women. Yup. Speaker 3 (7:35) RRW. There you go. Speaker 1 (7:37) RRW. Speaker 3 (7:39) All Speaker 1 (7:39) right, Marissa, why don't you introduce this week's topic? We're just going to play a game. We're just going to ask random questions. Yeah, Marissa thought it would be a good idea after a- I thought it'd be funny. Oh, Marissa, actually, why don't you explain
