squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Well,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:but
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:whew. What about your dream?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Oh, night I had this dream that Jose and I were at dinner, but we were like at, in this country that wasn't like you, the U S, but we lived there. Like, it wasn't like it was. You know uncommon sitting at out at dinner But we're outside on like the patio and there's a family behind us like a mom and a dad and a young Child like a young boy And we're eating dinner. We finish dinner and we look up and the parents are gone and the child's still sitting there And I tell Jose, like, we do this sometimes. Like if we see like a woman who's kind of uncomfortable or something like that, I'll be like, can we just stay here for a minute to make sure like things are cool. And so I said that to Jose, like, can we just stay here for a minute? And he was like, yeah. And the parents like 10 minutes come by, 15 minutes come by, they never come back. And so I'm like, what the heck? So I go up to this little boy and I'm like, where's your mom and dad? Like I'm like asking him all these questions and he doesn't know. And so then, I get like the manager, they don't know what to do. And I'm like, okay, well, we can't like leave this kid here. Like we have to figure out what to do with the kid. And so then someone comes up to me and it goes, check his hip, like his front hip. And I was like, what do you mean? And they were like, just check it. And so I like checked his front hip and he had like a tattoo, like a serial number. And I was like, what does that mean? And the lady goes, that's human trafficking. Like they do this on purpose and I was like, okay, so what, like, what the fuck do I do? Like what's going on? And she's like, I don't know. Like you have to call the police. I called the police and they're like, don't bring them here. Like we don't do anything for that. Like, just leave them. And I'm like, I can't just leave them. And so then Jose and I end up taking him back to where you're staying. And like something happens. I don't really remember. It's kind of foggy at this point. And I get. Alone with this kid and I'm talking to this kid and he's like he can speak he's like five he's like just give me some like i'll just take some money and i'm like what like this is so odd And so then I like go to get money to give him money. So like I guess he could leave and I kind of looked at him and I was like, tell me the truth. Like, what is going on? Like, I feel like, you know, what's going on. Jose wasn't in the room. It was just me and this like little kid. And he goes, I'm actually 37. And it was like, but it was like an, it was like orphan
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:What the
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:he was
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:fuck?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:was like playing as this like child. So he could like get money from people and get sympathy from people. And like, I looked at him and. Obviously he was like a dwarf and I would it like it like woke me up and I was like What are those dreams that I like sat there was just like achy Like I was just like creeped to the fuck out in the middle of the night I was like, I can't go back to sleep. It took me like 30 minutes to go back to sleep
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:actually 37.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I'm actually 37

abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I don't know
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:so strange.

squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:had, I woke up from a dream and I like barely remember it, but all I remember I fell asleep last night reading and I don't remember a lot, but I was in, um, like fantasy universe, right? Um, all I remember is Lucian was there. Okay. He was the only person I remember, but

squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah. Um, Lucian was there, right. And he got, he was like protecting me as he would. I guess he is. So he was like protecting me and I was like, we were like running from somebody and all I remember, I don't know, because I've been like watching like game of thrones and house of dragon and just like gory or stuff, but he got captured and I'm like watching and they were trying to get like, Oh, Answers out of him like in front of me and it all happened so fast and he's like laying on his back And this like guy who captured him takes a knife And like cuts from like here
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah,

abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:like the Joker.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Just like cuts his whole mouth open like that And then that's all I remember
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:That's the like grossest thing like like for example Like the webbing of your feet or the webbing in your
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:like paper cuts there like that just grosses
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, and I like
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:usual
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Since i've woken up. I just like see that in my head. I'm like poor lucien

abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I'm currently on A Court of Frost and Starlight.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:so you finished Wings and Ruin.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I finished Wings of Ruin. Um, I have like 50 pages left of this one, so I'll finish that today and then I'll start Silver Flames. But, um, no, I love this
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:You really flew through that thing.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:you.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:A Myst what's the second one? Myst and Fury I read in like a day and a half.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:It's so good.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:It's so good. But, um, No, I saw something last night about how people have been saying, like, how do you say the main character's mate's
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Feyre, Feyre, and Rhysand.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Okay, you say like Rhysand, right?
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Well, I mean, I, oh, it's Rees, it's Reesand. It is Reesand. That's how it's intended to be said, but like, I've always said Reisend.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, people say Rhyzen, and I'm like, it's not Rhyzen, because then when she just uses his nickname
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Rees.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Y S, it's
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I always said Reis.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Oh.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Did you get it right the first time?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I always said Reis. Even like now, like, even like reading it, like again and shit, like looking at his name and stuff, I'm like, Reis, that's Reis.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:No. She does a good job, though, in the first book, like, putting in some, showing the reader how to say Feyre's name.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Mm
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Because, like, the first, like, 20 pages, she has Nessa, like, enunciate her
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:hmm.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:in, like, a mockingly
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Mm hmm.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I was like, that's really smart for an author who's using names that are not common.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, I think, like, Feyre is, was kind of an easier one to grasp, though.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I kept saying Feera instead of Fey, like
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Mm.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:But Faye kind of sounds better.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, a lot of them are, are kind of difficult. Did you get Amarantha? Yeah,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:a mouthful.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:a mouthful. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so, so out of this first three, so like,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Mm hmm.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:That was a big one, sorry. So, like, people kind of say, like, the first three is, like, the meat of the story. So, like, the wars, technically, I mean, the wars, you got through the war, you got through, like, the meat, like, all that shit. Now Frost and Starlight's kind of like a little like soft, you know, like a cushion and then Silver Flames is going to be digging into Nesta. Like, I mean, there is Feyre and Rhys are still in that, obviously, but like, it's going to be a Nesta story.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Which I'm really excited about because I like them both really well. I don't know, like, I've heard that a lot of people don't like A Court of Thorn and Roses, like the first book.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I liked it.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I really enjoyed that
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Mm hmm. Me too.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:then my favorites, Mist and Fury for obvious reasons, cause I am like a romance
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:But, um, even the third one, Wings and Ruin, I just felt like Wings and Ruin, the first half of the book was so slow for me.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I don't remember. I don't remember.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:when she is like back at Tamlin's
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yes.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:to like, thought that whole part was going to be like, okay, I guess we're talking about spoilers. So if you don't want to listen, go ahead. I thought that whole part was going to be a lot more like, it just kind of fell flat for me, I guess. I just, it was like, okay, that's all you're going to do is like spread words. You're not going to actually start like plotting things if you're not going to actually take it down. I don't know. I just, I guess I would just say I was underwhelmed.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:wasn't. I love that whole series so much.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah. But, and then like the end of the book, um, is when they have like the war and stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:That and, I mean like, she really does it in like the last hundred pages.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, it was like the last 50.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:She really does that thing. I love Wings and Ruin so much that it, for me it goes Silver Flames, Wings and Ruin, Miss and Fury, and then the first one.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:And then, Frost and Starlight.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, the Frost and Starlight, the one I'm on that I'm not enj The aspect I'm not enjoying as much, I don't know how, uh, Silver Flames is, is that it like jumps from person to person.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, it's not like that in Silver Flames.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, I figured. And it's like, um, for Feyre, in recent it's person, and then for everybody else it's
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:And I don't really I just usually don't really like books that are jumped back and forth in
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, it takes a lot to get used to, like, cause like, the first three are all favors perspective, first person. And then, Missing Fury jump, er, um, Frost and Starlight jumps around, and then Silver Flames is Nesta, first person.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, that's what I'm
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Mhm.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I'm going to try to finish this one today and then hopefully start that one
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I wanna re
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:to
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:it makes me wanna re read Silver Flames.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:You should.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:know, but I'm so deep into Throne of Glass.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:How's that one?
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:it's one that you have to really commit to though because it's an eight book series. So this, like with ACOTAR, like you kind of get into the action, like there's the world building in the first one and then you're in there. Like with Throne of Glass, it's like so much buildup.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I just finished the fourth book and I started the fifth one. This week. And like the fifth one is like, we're getting into like the war.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:that's what I
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah. So like, I think it's really going to pick up like these last ones, but it's so good. Like she just does such a good job of making you fall in love with like the characters, you know?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:does a really good job of building her characters.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:like, like for example, like, so fourth one and we're already, so there's one main character of these books and, um, She's on her fourth love interest.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Hmm.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:it like is, it's like over a long span of time.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, but it's really good. I love it.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I saw an interview with her talking about how she has, um, How much did she say? I think she said she had like three more books for Akatar. And she was saying like, one of those books is gonna be, I don't know how you say his name, Azrael? Um, his storyline, and she was like, I see it very clearly, like in my
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Good. Cause we need that one.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I would really love to have more story to
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:What do you mean?
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Morrogan.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Oh, Morgan?
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:It's Morrogan.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I thought it was Morgan.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I don't fucking know, dude. More. I thought it was Moraghan.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I think you're gonna, yeah, I think we'll get her story too. Mm hmm.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:When I was reading it, I thought we were gonna get more of her story in Silver Flames. You don't really get much. I mean, you get like a little bit more of an understanding of her story, but not too deeply. So.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:because it kind of does set it up. I just read the chapter in Frost and Starlight of when her and Reesan are talking and he asks her to kind of just go and like, guess be like an emissary and not just work with the Court of Nightmares. I guess it does kind of, it either lines it up to be
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:There's a lot of breadcrumbs, for sure.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:what comes next, yeah,
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Do you trust her?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:she's just not going to be around. I don't trust her in the sense of like, she's always gonna put herself first and do what she wants to
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I want to trust her. I don't want her to have a villain arc, but It could easily happen, I think What about Amron? I
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I like Amron a lot. I trust Amron more than anything. Like, in the last book when she like, deceives her or whatever, I like, didn't really believe it. I was like, yeah, she just has like, another thing in mind.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:will see. I think out of all of them, those are the two that are kind of like, could go either way with villain arcs
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Well, yeah, cause Cassian's like, a golden retriever and Azrael's just like, a German shepherd.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:they're so loyal, so
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Cassian is just everything to me Everything.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Do we find out about Elaine and Lucien in the next
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Mm mm. Well, I mean like,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:They need a book.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I think that's what the sixth one's about, is Elaine's point of view.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, that one I want to know about.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, girl.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Um, I have something to tell you about my trip. So I just went Naples, Florida
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Okay.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:we rented an Airbnb and it was like, not on the beach, but like, it was like the row of houses that were like$20 million and then the road, and then like, but my, where my house that I rented was, so we just had to cross the street basically. And. I mean, we walked in and you said it to mom, like, it literally looks like a wood
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:it was like, it was literally like a couch and a TV, but, um, it was fine, whatever. It's fine. So then the first day, um, like full day. So the night before the first full day, the lady who owns the house like reached out to us and was like, Hey, just so y'all know the air conditioning people are coming tomorrow. They don't have to go in the house. They're just going to be like outside, um, doing the unit. And we were like, great. Our house was like, we got there and the house was like 80 degrees. And if anybody knows my husband, he runs at like 95 degrees. So like, he has to have like a cold house. And so he was already upset about that. And so I was like, whatever. So then, uh, The next day goes, we're on the beach the whole day and I was, I was like, I have to go to the bathroom. So I went back to the house to go to the bathroom. I go to the bathroom and I'm walking out the front door. I opened the front door and there's someone standing at the front door. It like scared
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:hmm.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:And I was like, Oh my God. And it was this woman. And I was like, Oh my God, you scared me. And she was like, Oh, I'm sorry. Like I was trying to find the front door, which it is like a weird house where it doesn't really. Seemed like the front door. I was like, Oh, are you the air conditioning lady? And she was like, yeah, yeah. And she just kind of like stood there and I was like, do you need to get in the house? And she was like, yeah, I need to like find something, something. And I was like, okay, well like, come on in. I'll help you find it. Like, I'm not going to leave you in this house. So we're like walking around. She was like, I tried to call the owner. The owner's not answering. Okay. So we walk around this house trying to find like the attic access so she can get to this thing and we can't find it. so then the owner finally calls her back like 15 minutes later and she's like, it's in the master closet. And I'm like, great. So then I have to take like all of our clothes out of the closet
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Wait,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:brought nicer stuff.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:you unpacked your clothes?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Well, we brought like, Jose has like dress shirts and stuff. So like, because we drove, we just put them in like suit bags and hung them
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:You guys are so funny. Okay.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:didn't like fold them. very particular about his clothes. And so i'm like, okay, whatever so I like laid on the bed and the access is like Not even a 12 by 12 like maybe an 8 by
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Did she have to crawl in there?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:that she was gonna have to crawl in and the master there was like a built in built ins in the closet So she was like, I don't know how i'm gonna get into this Like I don't know how i'm gonna get my Ladder into it, right? then she I stand there for like 30 minutes for her trying to figure out how to get into this attic Jose's calling me like what is going on? And I like told him and he was I was like I don't want to leave him like leave her here Like all of our stuff is here my engagements and my engagement rings in here. Our car keys are in here like people like that, right? And so I was like, oh, he was like, okay, just keep me updated. So then I'm in the kitchen like waiting for it. And she comes in and she's like, I don't know how I'm going to get in here. And I'm like, I, I'm, You know, you can, I guess you can come back. Like, I, I was, I didn't, what am I gonna tell you? she was like, I'm not really supposed to be telling you this and I was like, what? And she was like, somebody's ashes up
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Oh, shut the fuck up. She had the tea.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:And I was like, what? She was like, there's somebody's ashes up there. And so like right outside the, the master closet, there's, um, what would you call it? Like a cross with Jesus on it. And like, Jose's family has them all around her, his house. Cause they're Catholic. So I was like, okay, maybe they're just Catholic. Then I'm starting to think like that's like a shrine for the ashes in the attic, which is also like fucked up. How do you put some of these ashes in an
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:No, that's really scary.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:And I was like, and this was the first full day. And we were there for like three
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:That's really strange.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:like, Oh my god. And she was like, yeah, she's like, that's really all that's the first that's happened to me.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:was like too stunned to speak. She had to tell somebody.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah. And so then like, she kind of fixed the AC. It was a whole thing.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Was it in like an ash bag or was it in like an urn? You think? Oh, no
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:And so then like I go back on the beach and Jose's like pissed because the AC is not getting fixed. Like we, she was literally there for like four hours that day. And it was just like annoying. And the fact of like, y'all told her she wasn't going to have to come inside. Like it was a whole thing. And the, and the, and the, We would be like, Jose was like, I just want the renter to like acknowledge that there's a problem that needs to be fixed. She kept saying like, close all the shutters, like houses in Florida get warm. And we're like, yeah, we understand that. That's why you have a
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:But, um, so we're on the beach later that day. And I was like, if I tell you something, like you can't use it against the renter. Cause I like told the lady, like I won't tell anybody. he was like, he kind of looked at me and I was like, do you promise? And he was like, yeah. And I was like, there's ashes in the glove in the attic.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:There's dead people.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:at me and he was like, are you serious? And I was like, yeah, that's what she said. And he was like, Oh my god. So we slept in a room with ashes above us for three nights so I was like worried like the whole time I was like kind of speaking into the universe of like Please don't harm us. We're good. We're nice people.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:That's crazy.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:There's ashes up there. That's funny as shit.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Isn't that fucked up though? Like that was my ashes i'd be haunting the place
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I wonder whose ashes it is.

squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I wanna know.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:like so this house was damaged from the hurricane two years ago and so like The whole first floor is all open
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Maybe the, maybe the homeowner doesn't even know.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:No, they have to know
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Maybe they're there from the other people.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:No, I think they're the same owners.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I don't know.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I don't know.

squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:That's very strange.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:It is very
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I wonder, like, but like, I've always just rented. I love renting. I'm a huge renter. There's probably been ashes at a house I've rented.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Probably.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:There could be weird shit. You remember that weird ass attic? Have I? Oh,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I'm saying like, you know, like we sold our house and we buried how many animals in the backyard?
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:house that I live in now has been here forever. Like this is a super old house that was renovated. And when I was talking to my neighbor, Ms. Mary, she was like, I, your, uh, the previous homeowners were here for 20 something years. Like they like, like it was like their like life home that they like raised a family
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:both
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:and died right in the bed. The rashes are still up in your attic. I'm like, okay, Miss Mary. Um, Oh, my toothbrush is here. Yeah. Sunshine's going nuts. Um, yeah. So who knows? A lot of shit could have happened in this house, dude. Cause yeah, those homeowners have been, have been here for a long time, but, and I have such a large backyard. Like they could have been all their fucking childhood animals could be back there.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Definitely. At our house we have three dogs,
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:A few turtles. A few rabbits.

squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I almost dropped my last cherry. Yeah, Pearl. And then, did I ever tell you? So, okay, so I work in the city, and one day, the security guard of the hotel that I work in comes into my office with a fucking guinea pig. And he's like, this guinea pig is just running around outside. I don't know what to do with it. And I'm like, what the fuck? Guinea, like, I mean, I live in the middle of the fucking city. So it's not that weird for shit like that to happen, but I'm just like a fucking guinea pig

squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:is diabolical. That's crazy. Guinea pigs aren't wild. Someone let their guinea pig out. Right. And, um, I don't fucking know. It was so weird. And I was like, okay, well, I obviously have to take care of it. So like, I, we get like a box, right. And like create like a little house and I go in the kitchen and I get like some water and like some lettuce and shit. And we're like feeding this guinea pig,

abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:mean I could have had anything.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:was like like I start crying cuz I'm just like I'm just In shock, but also like sad, like what the fuck? So she's like, it's okay. Like this stuff happens. It probably had like a weird disease or something. Or, and I was like, Oh my God. I was like, do you think I fed it too much? And like, it's a little tummy exploded. She's like, no, no. Like trying to like reassure me. She's like, you gave, you may, you gave it the most comfortable little few hours of the, of his last life. It would have died on the street and you like gave it a little home to feel safe enough to die. And I'm like, okay. And then, so I put this thing in a to go box, right. From the restaurant.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:yes
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:going to do? I put this thing in a to go box. I write Pearl. I like, would you like a little memorial service on the to go box? Right. And I bring it home. And, um, me and my friends, uh, buried it in the backyard. And then the next fucking day, my friend who helped me buried it, sent me like a news article and was like, um, Uh, it was kind of like a news article about how people bury their guinea pigs alive all the time because they go into hibernation stages and they think they're dead. I was like, why the fuck would you send this to me? She's like, I don't think Pearl was dead. I think we buried her.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:to bury an animal, there is something, I've had to do it a few times sadly, and there is something in you that like you check times to be like, are, am I sure this thing is dead? That is like a fear of mine of like burying an animal when it was actually
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I think Pearl might've been alive. I think we jumped the gun on her death.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:think you gave her enough time to resuscitate.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Abby? And then I'm like, bitch, why the fuck, you could have just let me live in peace. I think about Pearl every day. I probably buried that guinea pig alive. She's like, people bury the guinea pigs alive all the time because they think that they're dead, but they just like go in these weird hibernation stages where they look dead. And I'm like, that thing was,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:are they
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:she was rock hard. And
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, she was
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:she said that they get hard like that in their hibernation.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:think she was
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:It's not funny.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:That
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:R. I. P.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, I had a beret kitten a few months
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Oh, okay. That's worse.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:it was so traumatic. That's all I've had to bury is kittens. And um, yeah, that one, I put it into go box too, but then I like transferred it into the, into the ground.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:you're like, what is little enough for this?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I had like, I like went in the house and I have like gloves, you know, for when I'm dealing with like, when I'm dealing with like meat and stuff to cook, I
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Ew!
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:gloves. So I put gloves on. And so I'm like poking it like 400 times, like, is it dead? And I'm like trying to be like, don't cry, Abbey, don't cry, Abbey. And like, this is the one thing that Jose and I really just see life differently on, is like helping stray
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:like, that is nature's business. That
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:No, I will literally.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:like, this cat showed up at my door for a reason. The universe sent me this
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:The cat distribution system.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:And so. I'm like, I'm like, you can't go inside crying, Jose's going to be upset that you're crying about this dead kitten after you begged him to let you take care of him. So I'm like burying this guy. And so then I needed help on something with it. And so I, I went in, Oh no, we were going to go do something. And I was like, Got held up because there was a dead kitten had a berry. So I like, he was still in bed. It was early and I came in the bedroom and I was like, not a big deal. A kitten was dead. So I had a berry, like, it's okay. It's just, I'm just not gonna be ready on time. And
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:No biggie.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:like, he was like, are you okay? And I was like, um, yeah, I'm okay. And he was like, are you sure? And I was like, I mean, no, I'm really upset about it, but I'm not going to cry about it. And he was like, Abby, you're fine. Take your time.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I'm not even gonna cry about it or anything.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:gonna
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Like, that's crazy.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:we, Jose and I have both had such traumatic experiences with kittens
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:You did. You sure did.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:like, Jose's like, I don't want to deal
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:He doesn't want, he's not ready to open his heart again.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:No. That last
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:That, that was rough.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:a long story short, Amy's friend had a house and she called me and these kittens were at her house and they were like, she was like, I don't know what to do with them. Can you come get them? Knowing me, I was like, yeah, I'm coming on my way. And I go and they're like three weeks old, probably younger
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:They were very sick.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I thought they were dead when I showed up. I thought they were dead. So then I like, Get them in the car. There was two little, little ones. And then one was like older, one was probably like eight weeks and I'm driving home and it was like a 20 minute drive home. And the whole time I'm just like praying, praying, praying, like, please be alive, please be alive. And so then we get home cause I didn't have food on me or anything. So then I get home, Jose's at my mom's house. I get there there's one kitten that I'm like really, really nervous about. And I like pull it out. And like, by the time I got home, it had passed on the drive over. And I remember just being like, Like I was like so upset like crying and like this poor thing just like died in my hands I was so angry and Jose was so upset for me And so then we had this other kitten that was so itty bitty and we were like waking up every three hours to feed this kitten We were trying to get somebody to come and feed it Like take it. If you are in Georgia and you're trying to get a kitten like rescued, it is like the hardest thing to do because you, there's like a law that you like rescues can't come and take a cat. They have to go through the shelter. And then I call the shelter and they're like, don't bring it here. It's just going to die. And I'm like, then what the fuck am I supposed to
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:And so we were taking care of, I was trying to get somebody to take care of it. We finally find a rescue. That's kind of like, we'll just take it. It's fine. So we give it back to the rescue months pass and the same kitten is up for adoption. And Jose was like, I don't know, like I really loved that cat. Like maybe we should go and get it. So we go and pick it up, obviously. And this cat, I've never had a cat have such issues.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:it was so sick.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:like thousands of dollars we put into this one little kitten, cause it just had like digestive issues. And. And we ended up having to be like, we can't, like, we were still in college. We didn't have the money we have today. Like we were, it was like one of those types of situations. We had to give it back. like, I, we both like cried about it for days. Like we were both so upset and Jose was like, we're not doing this
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, that was rough on y'all.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:So then when these cats showed up at our friend, early stray cats, he was like, Abby, like, I am not ready to. be like that again. So, like, you can take care of it, but,
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Y'all have had like, I feel, is this like your second or third litter? Oh, just kidding.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:this is, like, my, so there's three total now. So, like, there was one with a dead kitten a couple months ago. Then another cat had her kittens, maybe, um, I think they're four weeks old. And then, um, The, another mom had kittens like two weeks after that, but I don't know where her kittens are at. And so like, I have to call somebody and have them come out and trap them and spay them because I just can't.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:past week we've been dealing with fleas because they brought fleas up to our
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Ugh.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:and then like they got in our house and they got on my cat. Like Luna had like three medicine baths already. I have to give her another one today.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Um,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:So it's just been like a shit show.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:you, is there like some type of like birth control for like strays that you could put like in their food or something? Or no, that's not a thing.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:they just, yeah, you just have to spay
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:That's crazy.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, but like the boys, I heard that they can literally do it like in your front yard,
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, come just like chop their nuts off.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:basically. And then the women, the little girls, I think they have to do like something else, but someone gave me some information and I have to call, but um, Luna has to go to the vet anyways for her shot. So I think I'm just going to talk to the vet when I take
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah. Yeah, crazy. Well, I don't know. I don't have anything else to update on. My life is so boring. I literally go to work and go to yoga and go to the gym every day.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I went to yoga last night. I think I almost died
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Okay, well, okay, well, maybe I do have an update.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:it gone in a
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:So, I'm absolutely obsessed with my yoga studio. Like, disgustingly obsessed. And I've been going all the time and I think I'm going to try to start going to, um, the 7 15 AM they do guided meditations. I'm,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:to do that. They
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I'm going to start doing that because I'm trying to like get my day started earlier because since I work later, I have to give myself a little grace cause I do get home so late and I like still want to have like a full night's sleep. So it just kind of carries me on later into the morning. But I like I feel like I want to get up earlier. I don't know, but, um, I want to try to get my day started earlier. So I think if I do some of those morning meditations, I would only do it three times a week. I could do that. And then I am going to join a running club.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I was thinking about joining a running club. That's funny that
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I wish we lived closer because we would be running every morning. So
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:that,
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:it's.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:It's
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, I know. So the one that I originally, so I want to join a running club because I feel like now that, I mean, and I'm so comfortable in my sobriety now, but I don't go out anymore because there's no reason for me to, like, I
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Mm
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:early on in my sobriety, I did just to still feel included. I had like some like FOMO. Um, and like, now I just don't give a fuck. Like I would just rather not spend the money on like, you know, Random shit just to go out. I would rather not spend my time like out with people who are drunk. So I just like don't go out anymore but all I do is work and go to the gym and I am not meeting new people because of that. Like I'm so like in my same routine.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Mm
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Number two, I get bored not drinking. That's always kind of been my problem. So like,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Mm hmm.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:this is why I like started going to yoga. So I'm doing yoga and the gym like normal, but like, I want to do more. I want to do something else. Like I'm bored. So I'm want, I was like, maybe I'll just pick up running and then it could like give me like a way to like meet people who are also like active and doing things. And, you know,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:so I found this one that I knew somebody. He posted about it and I was like, Oh my God, I was thinking about joining this running club. Like I didn't know you went and he was like, this was my first time, but like it was great. And it's Thursday mornings at 6 15 AM and it's a four mile run every Thursday morning.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:my god, I don't think
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:that's a lot.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:a four mile.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:But he said, he was like, I haven't run, this was my first time running since high school. And he's like my age. So we're like out of 11 years out of high school now. And, um, he was like, it was great. Like they do it in like groups. So like people who are more experienced run together. And he was like, I was in the 10 minute mile group. So it was like, fine. So you all kind of like keep a normal pace, but I'm like, I'm nervous. I don't want to like go by myself. So I've been trying to get all of my friends to go. And none of my friends want to go except for Megan. Megan's like, I think I'll try it. So I think me and Megan are going to try one next week. But then we found out that our yoga studio does a run club.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I think we're gonna go with our yogas, which is Wednesday mornings at 630, which is not a much different thing. But they only do three miles.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, um, how I've come across it too. Cause my yoga class, they're doing a class on, I think it's this Saturday actually. Um, they're doing a yoga class, but they're doing it for it's called the slow girl runners club in Athens. And it's all these girls, but they don't run like super fast miles. And so they were like, you can come like, you don't have to be a person, like a member of yoga. You don't have to be a member of their club. Like it's open to everybody, but I guess they're trying to just kind of like build. that community and I was like, I think I'm going to go and like talk to
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:You should!
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:because, because, you know, I used to
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, I need to do
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:ran in a
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, I need to get a pair of shoes.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I think one of the biggest things too for me is like why I don't go and walk by myself or go and run by myself is the fact of it being by myself and I'm scared.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Sure.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:So it'd be nice to like run in a group.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:There's no fucking way in hell I'm running outside. You see my neighborhood. My house is beautiful and it's renovated, but I am in the HOOD, baby. I'm not running outside. I fall asleep to gunshots sometimes.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Well, even like a couple of months here, um, a girl went on a run and got murdered.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, no.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I'm not, I'm not here for that.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, no thanks. I'm in the outskirts of Charlotte, the downtown. Like,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I'm not running outside.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah. So that's like, um, attractive. So
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Even though, like,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:We'll see
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:people are like, Well, could you bring your dog with you? And I'm like, I could, but like,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Trax would be like, I'm
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Drax wouldn't, he wouldn't go half a mile. He'd be like, I'm over this bitch, you've got me fucked up.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Sunny would probably
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:She would, but she's so like quick burst, quick burst, and then she'll get like a little tired. So I don't know. If they're not used to it, I don't want to like drag them out. And it's been so hot too, so I try to keep them like not outside that long anyways. I don't know. Is this a book podcast?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah. No, we didn't talk about books at all.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:A little bit.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I've literally just been reading these books. Um,
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I know.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:have a month of reading some other books that I have, but I don't, I haven't even really thought about
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I read, I've slowed down so much because I've been so on, I mean my life has gotten a little bit busier the past couple weeks so I've been like so not
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:This summer has
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:yeah
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:us.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:it's been kind of hard to like get through like six books a month like we were kind of doing but I just finished I took a break after I finished one of the thrown in glass books and just through that Midnight on Beacon Street.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Mm
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:That was cute.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:that good?
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, it was good. It was, um, I liked the story a lot. It was, I felt like I was reading so much fantasy. Like I kind of wanted something that was like, felt like real life. So it was just like a story about like a,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Mm hmm.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:like a babysitter who had to deal with like a break in while she's babysitting kids. Um, so It wasn't like scary, but it was kind of like a little thriller. It was very short. It was like 195 pages or something, but it was good. I liked the writing style. It like went back and forth between like the babysitter's perspective and the youngest kid's perspective. He was like eight years old or something. Um, so it was cool kind of like getting both perspectives of like the babysitter and what, how she was dealing with it. And like the kid, like what he was like thinking of and
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:hmm.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:cute. Yeah, it was her debut book too. It was that author's first book.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Did you, um, hear the news that Amazon picked up Wing for a TV
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:No, I didn't.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, they announced it a few days ago. They announced a showrunner,
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:you watch House of Dragon this week?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yes.

abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I'm not enjoying the show as
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Why? You're such a buzzkill. Oh my god.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:kind of look at each other and he's like, that was kind of boring, right? I think because we were like, people who watched Game of Thrones early, early, like not when it was coming out, but early on enough where it was like still part of the hype. And then like every episode of Game of Thrones, something happens. Like, it's like, I feel like it's still building and yet we only have like one or two episodes left.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Two episodes left,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:but they're having a third season too.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:what Megan said. Megan said, like, she doesn't know, like, how much longer they're going to be able to drag out stuff. And she's reading, like, um, the book, like, A Fire In Blood.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Mm hmm.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:And she's like, it makes me not even want to finish reading this book because, like, the things that are happening, they're straying from the book.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Are
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, she said, some of the things that are happening in the show, I don't think are happening in the book. So she's kind of like, what the fuck?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Well, I bet the whole, um, Rhaenyra Messiah, is it her name?
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Miserea.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Like kissing, I bet you that's not in the
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:That was shocking.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yes and no.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:You can't look at me and tell me you saw that coming. It's
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:No, I didn't see it coming. But after it happened, I'm kind of like, yeah, that kind of makes sense. Just
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:crazy.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:character, like, has, like, the only, I think truly the only man she's truly loved was, um, the father of her kids.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah. Uh huh.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:like, she's always struggled with that and I think there is like room for her to be bisexual and like have some attraction towards women.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I think,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:was almost
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I think it's kind of just like the idea of having somebody finally feel like she's like on her side.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:that's
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:And like supporting her and um, I don't know. It's also messy as fuck because that used to be Damon's lover.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, that's true. Are you liking Damon's whole storyline
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I'm bored of him. I wish he would get the fuck out of out of Harrenhal.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Get the fuck out of Harrenhal.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:up on the screen, it's like, oh my god, did someone just pass through this?
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:But the um, lady, like the witch who he's like dealing with like is a big character in the books.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, that's what I've heard.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I don't know what's gonna happen with him. So I don't know what's gonna happen with him.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:that, the characters that I really like is um, and I don't know his name, but her, Rhaenyra's
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Chase.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:and yeah, and Baela. I
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I love them too.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I think they do a great
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I love Jace. Yeah,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:job that like, I hate his, because I hate his character so much.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I don't, I don't necessarily hate his character to be honest.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Really?
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, I wouldn't say I hate his character.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:That's sure.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:But, I don't know, I, I definitely think he's like a villain for sure, but I don't think I hate his character. I think he has more, um, I don't know. I hate him less than I hate Kirsten Cole.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Oh yeah, I do. Hey, Kristen
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:You know who I like is Allison's brother.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, I do
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I think he's kind of fine.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:He
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Okay. When they were having a conversation and I called Megan immediately because we usually watch house of dragon together, but, um, it was literally monsooning on Sunday. So I was like, bitch, I'm not leaving my house. Um, Did you think when Allison was talking to him about her other son who wasn't with her at the Red Keep, are they at the Red Keep? Where are they? Um, not the Red Keep Kings Landing. Um, to me it sounded like, I didn't know she had another fourth son with Viserys.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:I didn't remember it until she said it and then I was like, that kind of rings a bell but kind of
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:So I asked Megan, I was like, um, do her and her brother have a love child? I thought they had like a love child.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:No.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:very disappointed to find out that was not the case.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:No.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I thought they had a baby.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:She hasn't seen her brother in like, since she was a child until he showed up.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I know, but she was talking about how it was like, how's my son? And I was like, I didn't know she had a four son with Becerra. So I thought they were talking about like his son, like their son together.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, I don't remember why they sent him
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I don't know.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:of like, Oh yeah, but then I don't remember why or anything about that. That's what like, I saw, I was listening to another podcast a couple of days ago or on the drive home, Jose and I were listening to it and they watched House of Dragon. They were talking about House of Dragon and he was like, let me just say, say thank God for like the ending of like, Let me explain to you everything that happened just happened in this episode He was like without that I wouldn't understand this show And i'm like that's so true because like so much stuff happens in these episodes that I just don't pick up Until I I watch it and i'm like, oh That's what they meant by that
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah, I know. I'm just like here for, for the ride. Like, I don't know anything that's going on at all at any times.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Are you still watching game of
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Barely. I mean, I'm, it's hard for, I don't really sit in front of the TV much anymore. Like, the only thing that I really watch, like, what I've been watch, like, really consistently watching is Sex and the City. Which, do you watch Sex and, have you watched Sex and the City? You should.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:but not fully
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:should. It's, it's really good.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:maybe
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I've got Megan hooked on it too, cause like I've seen it, but I like started re watching it when it went on Netflix.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Mm
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:So I'm on like season 5 right now or something. Oh my god.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Did you watch um season three of the bear?
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:No, I haven't seen anything about the bear.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Don't watch it, it'll make you anxious.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:gonna say, I think it's gonna trigger me, since I work in a kitchen.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:and I watched like two episodes, I think. We watched the first two seasons and then the third season came out. We watched two episodes and we both were like, this is making me too anxious. Like, and we don't really watch TV unless, like, we watch TV when we eat dinner together. And like, then we go to, then we have like a slower night. We go and read a book. We go to bed and it's like, we're still anxious when we get in bed because of it.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I hear like people in the service industry are having trouble watching it. Like I was listening to this other podcast and she was like, Was in the service industry forever, forever, forever. And she's like, I can't watch it. Like, it's like, it's like too real, like too like triggering.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:No, I think they do a great job. I just, I think maybe they just have like a coveted
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Maybe I'll watch it just to see what the hype is about. Cause I heard like, so she was talking to somebody about it and they were like, well, like the first two seasons they didn't like, but like this most recent season, they really were enjoying, like, they felt like they did a really good job with the third season.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Hmm.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:so I don't know, maybe it's something I watch.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:We'll see. Are you watching anything else? What else is going on in pop culture news?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:We're watching full swing. It's, um, the golf documentary TV show on Netflix. We're on season two. We have one more episode of
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Fun.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Which we actually really like. Like, we didn't know golf. Jose's always wanted to get into golf. We didn't really know anything about it. And then he had a co worker and a friend who was like, yeah, I love it. Like, y'all should watch it. So we were like, we'll watch it. We had nothing to watch and we've been really enjoying it. Now we like understand golf.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Cool.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:um,

squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:golfing is kind of fun. I like hate to admit it. Golfers kind of have it figured out.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:It's funny cause we were watching it and I was like, I didn't know golf got this lit. Like, it
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Golfing is kind of fun.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:time.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:It is kind of fun, especially if you can, especially if you're a drinker, like you can like drink, it's like being on the golf course is like being at an airport. It's like, there's no, like the time of the day, it does not matter.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:know?

squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Yeah. I mean like,
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:No.

abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah,
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:But like riding the golf cart is so fun.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:But like, so, and I really appreciate it on this show, they show you like, so, 1 through 50 in a tournament, I think, gets paid. And like, the people who win these tournaments are getting, like, one tournament is getting paid like, 3. 2 million
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:That's fucking dumb.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:to win that. And they show you like, Which I appreciate they show the earnings like for every like for whoever they're talking about and they actually show how much money they made off of it. There's one that's like 10
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:That's crazy.

They're like these mansions. I looked'em up'cause I was just curious how much they were for, and they ranged from like 10 million to 20 million. And mom was like, where the fuck did I go wrong in my life? was like, I dunno. Like mom was like, how do these people have this money? And like at night, none of the lights were on, like nobody was in them. You know? They're just like vacation houses that people come to every once in a while. But

It's they're called puzzle tables, but they're not like the ones with like the thing, like where you could like put the gloss over it. It's just like a

squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:So I wanna do colors and, like, fun stuff in here.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:yeah. Like a lot of my stuff is beige and white too, which I don't love, but I've, I did it because I knew we would be living in multiple places. But I think when we finally settled down, I think my house will be pretty colorful.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Not me. I'm not really a color person, but like, I want like one room to be like a little bit more expressive.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah, I think that's cute.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:So I'm excited. So I'm going to think about that a little bit more today. Maybe clean out this room. Cause like, it's kind of been used as my storage closet. Like, you know how you have like a junk drawer in your kitchen? Like this is like my junk drawer of the house.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:So I need to get through here.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Okay.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:And I need a fucking dresser so bad. I found one that like, um, separates, so it's like a six drawer dresser, but it can also be like two, three drawers. So, I mean, I can have them if I want to move. Like eventually I can have them for a while. I think I'm gonna get that one.
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Okay.
squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:Okay.

squadcaster-ab6d_1_07-24-2024_101819:I was, I, I mean, when I was drinking, all I drank was vodka martinis, but sometimes I would put like a little, just like plain vodka martinis with as much ice chips as possible on there. And I would like ask for hot sauce and I would put hot sauce and I would just drink like vodka with hot sauce. Isn't that disgusting?
abby_1_07-24-2024_101818:Yeah.
