It's crazy. You know, Abby Wombach and Glenn and Doyle were there.

sue (01:32.13)
See, what is their connection? Sports?

jojo (01:34.267)
I don't know. It may be sports because I ha s I heard them on a podcast today and they were saying that Abby was hanging out with all the football players and they were all asking her questions about the World Cup.

sue (01:48.794)
And I mean, I know that Glennon's kids like play music and write and like loved her. I remember them talking about that when the girl started playing guitar and stuff, but

jojo (01:59.153)
Yeah. But I didn't know they were friends.

sue (02:02.895)
I know. I didn't know our friend Taylor was friends with Abby and Glenn and

jojo (02:08.766)
Correct.

sue (02:12.27)
I mean, talk about a parasocial relationship. It's our bestie.

jojo (02:16.254)
Seriously. It's our best friend. I was so happy for her. I just I'm running out of patience. I need to see the dress.

sue (02:23.224)
Do you think that they had like gotten married in a private little ceremony alone previous? Me too.

jojo (02:27.654)
Yes, I do. A hundred percent.

sue (02:31.212)
Yeah. Because twenty minute vows apiece, they they how could they talk for twenty minutes? How could traffic

jojo (02:38.438)
I was like, you know, she helped him write those vows. I mean, how could he write first of all, can he read?

sue (02:46.646)
I mean, he knows he's slow at reading.

jojo (02:49.39)
Yeah. But also someone did a deep dive and said that they couldn't get the New York whoever to say that a wedding marriage thing had been filed in New York. I think they did it in Tennessee.

sue (03:04.862)
Yes.

All right, congrats, Taylor.

jojo (03:09.874)
Yes, congrats.

sue (03:13.324)

sue (03:26.466)
I mean you said that the other day and I was like, Do you ever see like the memes about like they should have a separate Costco and Trader Joe's for people who have shopped before?

jojo (03:37.692)
Yes, people who walk with purpose.

sue (03:40.564)
my gosh. Like I had to go to Costco this week and I had like anxiety because I just didn't want to deal with the parking lot and stuff. people are crazy.

jojo (03:49.086)
W but also your Costco is always packed. It's always packed.

sue (03:55.882)
You know what? There's like construction in part of the parking lot. And I think people are going elsewhere because yesterday I kind of walked in and walked out. I know I was shocked.

jojo (04:03.666)
Ooh. Well, you know they built that one on one twenty one and so now my Costco is always empty because everyone's going to the one on one twenty one.

sue (04:13.664)
Wow, that seems so close to the other one.

jojo (04:16.07)
They're very close.

sue (04:18.252)
Well, that's McKinney for ya. It's blowing up.

jojo (04:19.932)
Yep. I know. Our airport's opening up in November. Yes. And I fly it's gonna be some really small airline called Avello and they're only going to like Fort Lauderdale, Destin, mostly like Florida destinations. and because of my flight benefits, I get ninety percent off tickets. So I'm gonna be at that. Yeah, I'm gonna get I'm gonna be at that airport all the time. It's seven minutes from my house.

sue (04:25.441)

sue (05:13.006)
Uh-huh.

jojo (05:14.3)
Which I've never flown. I know you have. I'm dying to.

sue (05:18.38)
I did it once from here to Boulder. but I didn't take the dog. And that was like why I was so excited. But I didn't fly with a dog. I I haven't done that yet. And I probably never will. She's being such a weirdo.

jojo (05:28.252)
jojo (05:33.884)
Well she's she's just getting up there.

sue (05:38.038)
She's fifty yesterday I literally was saying to her, I'm like, My God, you're so no one would ever think you were fifteen. And then today I'm like, Anthony texts me he had to leave early and he's like, She was walking around and just staring like at the fridge and being really weird. I'm like, okay. Of course I give my dog dementia because we start this podcast.

jojo (05:58.589)
Of course. Well, it happens to the best of us.

sue (06:04.611)
so why do you like pedicures?

jojo (06:10.228)
Okay, let's talk about it. Well you went and got a pedicure today. You texted me, you were like wound up, like anxious.

sue (06:15.584)
And I was

sue (06:20.428)
Yeah, nervous ra like I just like my feet are like splayed, like my toes, I'm just like like I hate it. I hate it. But this was actually good. And I'm gonna like go back and like request this person because she was so fast and so good. And Marta and I were both like in and out. Like Marta got her hands done too, but yeah, I really like this new place by my house.

jojo (06:45.46)
I mean I will pay extra for an extra long massage. I give I give ten more ten more bucks for ten more minutes.

sue (06:49.866)
God.

sue (06:53.964)
No, I'm like, don't bother. Like, but today, like, yeah, I just hate it. And you're like, it's my favorite thing. I'm like, I don't know why.

jojo (07:01.904)
It's it's literally my favorite and like my whole family loves to go, even the boys.

sue (07:07.968)
I used to not mind it, but I think maybe I'd went too long between appointments and then I was like, They're gonna think I'm a gremlin, you know, and then I have to play with

jojo (07:18.396)
Okay. Yeah. I mean, I will say you're not gonna be shocked by this. I think my feet are really cute and my toes go in order of height. Like they're just really cute feet. But Sloan hates her feet and will not get a pedicure. And she also hates everyone else's feet.

sue (07:39.594)
She won't go get a pedicure? Slow?

jojo (07:40.974)
Nope. She loves manicures, but she will n she doesn't want anyone touching her feet.

sue (07:45.922)
Does she paint her toes?

jojo (07:47.866)
No, and trust me, I'm on her about that, 'cause you know I'm such a nail girly and I'm always like, your toes are bare. And she's like, Leave me alone.

sue (07:58.168)
Does she like cut and file and try to make spread Okay.

jojo (07:59.983)
Yeah, she does all that herself, but I'm like, you know how I feel about my pedicure. I've I've been getting a regular pedicure for twenty five years. I don't think my toes are ever not polished.

sue (08:12.882)
She's down with me then. And my feet are not ugly either. Mine are like literally like like you said, like height. Yeah, no, they're perfect.

jojo (08:14.725)
Yeah, totally.

jojo (08:19.974)
Okay, in high order. That's important. Cause when when the second toe is so much longer, it really freaks me out.

sue (08:27.468)
I think that's is that Stephanie? Someone has like someone in my world has a really funny long toe.

jojo (08:32.68)
Like a long Matt's second toe is just like pointing to the stars and I'm like, It's so tall, why?

jojo (08:42.982)
No, but I love a pedicure, I love a massage, I love a facial.

sue (08:47.694)
Can't do massages. I can't be touched like that.

jojo (08:49.938)
Really? You have you ever had a massage and you just didn't like it?

sue (08:55.393)
Yes.

No, and the poor guy I felt so bad. It was like a Mother's Day gift and you know, with girlfriends and you know, and and he was like, How was it? And I was like, Ugh, great.

jojo (09:13.032)
Or you're just tensed up?

sue (09:14.848)
Yes, it's counterproductive.

jojo (09:17.8)
When they're like, you can keep your underwear on, I'm like, Absolutely not. I'm gonna need you all up on my butt. It's the best part of the massage.

sue (09:26.256)
my god, I could never I can't I can't. I mean unless I was there for the happy ending.

jojo (09:29.737)
Ha ha.

jojo (09:34.668)
No, I just they're like, What's well you know, where do you want us to focus? I'm like, neck, shoulders and butt.

sue (09:43.554)
You know, March is here and she was laying out in the pool yesterday or whatever, and I'm like, I gotta touch the butt. I'm like, Bing.

jojo (09:50.42)
You have to. I I knew.

sue (09:53.27)
Like what's it like to have a butt?

I know I have my dad's flat ass.

jojo (10:00.774)
Well, y I'm still swearing by my padded underwear that gives you just a little bit of a butt in your jeans. No, because I don't care what I look like at work. But if I'm going out, like on a date night, yeah, I'll put on with my jeans so I don't have the concave buttons.

sue (10:06.328)
Do you really do you wear him to work?

sue (10:18.37)
How padded are they?

jojo (10:20.348)
I mean it it looks like you just have an amazing twenty two year old butt.

sue (10:25.55)
God damn. Yeah, I don't think I could do it.

jojo (10:29.896)
Well, Matt came up behind me and like slapped my butt, and then he was like, What the fuck? I was like wearing my underwear.

sue (10:40.694)
See, like I think that would just be such a letdown.

jojo (10:43.412)
I think it was for him.

sue (10:47.726)
Poor Matt. He thought like he got like a booty overnight. We got a little Kardashian going on. Did this

jojo (10:51.472)
Yeah.

jojo (10:56.158)
So have you been having fun with Marta? Is it like having your little bestie home? Yeah, I'm so jealous.

sue (11:03.16)
Kind of. I mean we've I mean, we've been getting along really good. I mean, not that we don't, but like

jojo (11:06.758)
Yeah. Well no, you know how it is though. At least I know. Sloane can be sweet as can be and then just turn on a on a dime.

sue (11:10.647)
Yeah.

sue (11:18.038)
Yeah, and you know, I know I can be like that too. So I try to we're just kind of like I don't know, we went to Lagree together, we went to work out. That was really fun. And we did a little road trip down to Alito, Texas, where our cousin Jimmy lives, so Marta could meet the new baby. And Annie Lane was there. She's in town from Ohio, so Marta got to see her. But man, she was like

jojo (11:22.046)
Mm.

jojo (11:29.62)
That's so cute.

jojo (11:37.522)
You gotta see the baby.

sue (11:47.37)
obsessed with her phone and she's talking to some new man. And I had to go, I just tell her, I go, we're only here for like an out another hour. Like we had an appointment down there. And that's my that's my hack for Texas driver's license anyone like drive to a little town. Like drive out of the way. Like for Jude's, we just drove to Waxahatchie

jojo (12:09.519)
smart.

sue (12:16.526)
It's like forty minutes or something, 45 minutes. And you walk in and you walk out. And so you're not sitting in a Plano driver's licensing for f three hours. Even with an appointment. Yeah. But like you can have an appointment in Plano and it's that long. Yes. So I was like, well, let's book one out by Jimmy's out in his little, like, I know, in and out.

jojo (12:27.624)
Did you have an ap an appointment? Okay.

Yeah, plane is a a mess.

jojo (12:41.844)
Smart.

jojo (12:45.622)
because did she have a New York driver's license or it just ex

sue (12:49.058)
She just had to renew and it was too late. Or it was like she's had her license for so long. It it expired. And she wasn't allowed to renew it online for some reason. I don't know. Yeah, she got to play with the baby. So that was good.

jojo (13:10.068)
So cute. We he's a cute baby. We don't have any babies in our family anymore.

sue (13:11.638)
He is really cute.

sue (13:17.42)
Yeah, and you know, I was like kinda like, yeah, it's great. They have a baby and I'm usually the baby freak magnet and I'm always so excited and that but they live it's a hike. And I'm like, I'm not gonna get attached. Well, Susie got attached. I mean I kind of fell in love last week. I don't know. I mean, he's only like six, seven weeks old, but he's he looks at you and stuff, and I'm like, he okay, he loves me. I have to come here all the time.

jojo (13:31.174)
No. shoot.

jojo (13:41.914)
Yeah. Well, that's fine. It could be your part time job.

sue (13:50.038)
I know they actually asked me to watch him when they have a wedding coming up and I'm out of town, like legit out of town that week. And I'm like, after when I was there, they're like, We're never leaving him with anybody. And I was like, Okay, fine, I get it. But then today he was like, Are you in town? I'm like, God damn it. Cause I'm the only one they would trust.

jojo (13:59.527)
Yeah.

jojo (14:08.057)
shoot. yeah, you gotta be babysitting that baby.

sue (14:13.34)
he's so cute. I wanna steal it.

jojo (14:14.886)
Where are you going?

sue (14:17.493)
we're going to some festival in Aspen. Some musical I know.

jojo (14:20.736)
that's fun.

sue (14:25.193)
I know.

gosh, should we talk about Alzheimer's or no?

jojo (14:35.944)
We've hit that point. Well, okay. Can we talk really quick about what happened to Katie Couric?

sue (14:38.463)
I know.

sue (14:43.167)
yeah.

jojo (14:44.838)
It's that I'm all I didn't write anything down about this because I just thought of it. But that TGA, she had a TGA episode where she forgot like what was going on in her life for like twenty four hours. And it really freaked her out, right?

sue (15:02.454)
Yeah, it was like she forgot what month it was and who the current president was.

jojo (15:06.438)
Yes. But she knew her family members. And they so she went to the ER, they they tested for stroke. It wasn't a stroke. And they just they basically said, For a neurologist, this is the best case scenario. Like you're you're okay. It happens to people under stress or whatever. And her her memory came back, but just for twenty four hours. And I kind of thought, you know, how nice would that be? For twenty four hours, you just forget everything.

sue (15:08.866)
Sure.

sue (15:37.066)
So she just forgot like facts. She didn't forget people.

jojo (15:40.86)
Yeah, she just like didn't know what month it was and I I think her husband was like, What? You need to go to the ER like

sue (15:47.446)
And it was like just for the day and it came back and she was fine.

jojo (15:50.387)
Yes. And then it came back. And they said it could happen again, but I guess she just needs to take care of herself. She's probably under huge amounts of stress with her work or whatever.

sue (16:01.816)
What does she do now? Isn't she like an independent singer?

jojo (16:03.454)
She she has a whole media company, yeah.

sue (16:07.436)
She's like really active on threads. Just recently she like bodied someone. Someone had the funny like posted something and she just like came back with like all the facts.

jojo (16:09.969)
Yes, totally.

jojo (16:22.898)
And she is not young.

sue (16:25.856)
No, I looked that up when you told me about the amnesia. What it what was it? She's like early seventies? Okay.

jojo (16:30.1)
She's sixty nine.

I mean, that's still relatively young, but it's not like she's middle aged.

sue (16:39.253)
Right.

jojo (16:41.716)
She looks great though. You know, she still plays pickleball.

sue (16:46.658)
Kickle ball. I just saw another thing. are you C PR certified w as a flight attendant?

jojo (16:54.566)
We are not allowed to say certified, but yes, we're C PR trained because the Red the Red Cross or whatever didn't train us.

sue (17:02.878)
I saw this story yesterday. This girl, I she's young 30s or whatever, and her husband saved someone's life at pickleball. He did CPR for 15 minutes before EMS got there. The kid, the young man followed him, went to the hospital and just he didn't know him though, but he went

And the guy when the doctors came in, the guy was like talking and everything. And the the doctor was like, if someone was getting CPR for 15 minutes, I'm usually not talking to him a couple hours later. Like this is and so it was just like a big PSA. Get certified. You have no idea.

jojo (17:44.428)
Right. Yes.

sue (17:52.406)
when you could possibly use it. I was certified a as a like a teenager, like a babysitter and everything. But this couple has been certified and their family and everything because they had a occurrence with like their young daughter choked or something. So but I was like, that is such a great reminder. W it's

jojo (18:08.284)
Okay. It is. I was certified as a teacher because I was on the mass casualty team in case there was ever a shooting at the school. So I know how to pack wounds and all of that. But I saw McKinney is doing something really cool. They are wanting the whole city to be covered in AEDs. So they're letting people volunteer to go get

sue (18:20.01)
my God.

jojo (18:35.506)
Trained on AED use, which is so easy. It tells you exactly what to do. And then you keep an AED at your house. So then if there's ever an emergency and someone's having a heart attack and they call 911, 911 is like, hey, two someone two houses down has an AD. We're gonna call them and have them run over to you. I know. Yep. So you're on their system as a volunteer AED person and they're trying to get like three or four on every street in McKinney.

sue (18:53.152)
What? Like you register that you own it.

sue (19:04.398)
That's incredible.

jojo (19:05.638)
Yeah, really cool program.

sue (19:09.659)
wow.

jojo (19:10.024)
I was thinking about doing it, but like I'm never at home. So I I think someone like a retired person should do it. Or someone like Matt, who's always at home.

sue (19:19.148)
Well, that's what I'm saying. Your house should get one because you'd be great and God. Matt could that would be the best day of his life if he got to run over at the little AED machine and

jojo (19:21.479)
Yeah.

Yeah. Ca he

jojo (19:31.205)
Literally the biggest dopamine hit of his life. You know, I won't get into all the details, but I told you the other day he saw our pool man crying in the backyard. And of course, he can't mind his own business. He I if I had seen the pool man crying, I'm gonna mind my own business. Just let him have a moment. No, Matt goes out there, talks to him, gets the whole story. I've never seen him happier. Like that is.

sue (19:34.167)
Yeah.

jojo (19:58.683)
his favorite thing to do is talk to someone who is crying.

sue (20:03.042)
Yeah, I would have been hiding under my bed, like

jojo (20:05.17)
Hundred percent.

sue (20:07.566)
I don't wanna I don't wanna know.

jojo (20:09.422)
No, he w walked right out there and was like, Hey man, how can I help? I see you're sad, like blah blah blah like no

sue (20:15.244)
Wait, are they like I'm assuming you've had this pool company for a while. But like but you're not friends.

jojo (20:20.666)
Yeah, since COVID. But like, no, Matt just no, we're not friends. But anytime the pool guy is here and there's like a rotation of three or four of Matt goes out and just shoots the shit with them. And I'm like, They're trying to work, Matt. Leave them alone.

sue (20:36.118)
You know what you need. Well, not really. Our pool guy, he's deaf.

jojo (20:37.991)
What?

my god, yes.

sue (20:43.372)
I've never talked to him. He doesn't want to talk to me. I've actually

jojo (20:46.352)
You know what? Maybe he just says he's deaf. Wouldn't that be so genius?

sue (20:54.38)
Yeah, Anthony, we communicate via text everything.

jojo (21:00.434)
Maybe he's just like it's his gimmick for p get people not to talk to him.

jojo (21:10.288)
Maybe you should start telling people you're deaf.

sue (21:10.676)
Which still

sue (21:16.826)
No. Cause with my luck, I would end up like having an accident and then I would be deaf. Like I was jinxed myself. I feel like it sometimes I have the power. Like I remember one time I was I hated this woman, not hate, whatever, that she was a it was like I was like 16 at like I was a a bus girl at a restaurant. And this woman thought that she was just like everyone's mom. She was in everyone's business. And I was like

jojo (21:21.17)
sue (21:47.316)
having bad thoughts and then she fell. I was like, so I try not to think about bad things happening because like happened more than I would like to admit. I know people shouldn't cross me. I I think about that all the time. I was like, who does this bitch think she is? And then like she fell. Yeah.

jojo (21:55.684)
Yeah, maybe you're a little bit witchy.

jojo (22:01.685)
god.

jojo (22:06.386)
No.

jojo (22:12.914)
That she literally went down.

sue (22:16.768)
Had nothing to do with me. It was a kitchen. She probably didn't have like the right shoes on. And guess what? She shouldn't have been back in the kitchen. She was just always in our business. She thought she was like Mrs. Garrett from Facts of Life. That's what she was like. She thought that's and it was a fifties themed restaurant. So she had like stupid hair. Like

jojo (22:27.796)
Well, Parma.

Yes. That's a perfect description.

jojo (22:40.36)
Did you have to dress up fifties?

sue (22:42.24)
No, I was a bus girl, so I would could wear like little denim rolled up jeans and like a white like T shirt, like more like a like a pump boy or something. But we had like weird names and mine was like like little buttons they would make us wear and mine was like dudet. There was like dude and dudet and I'm like

jojo (22:47.028)
How nice.

jojo (23:02.152)
Can't your stories are so good.

sue (23:05.546)
I loved it. and then we had a one girl that she only had one arm and her name was Abby, but we called her Army, of course. She could her arm was like cut at after the elbow, I believe. And so she could balance a huge tray of food.

jojo (23:08.692)
Obviously.

jojo (23:27.262)
On the stub?

sue (23:28.778)
Yes, and she could dance and she would walk out and twirl in her poodle skirt 'cause you sh the servers could get to wear poodle skirts. And she was fascinating.

jojo (23:38.89)
That is amazing. Yeah, look up Army.

sue (23:40.682)
Mm-hmm. I wonder what she's doing.

Abby.

I mean and she didn't marry a coworker 'cause I remember I saw him at a festival one time.

Hmm.

sue (23:58.67)
I'm gonna do that. I did look up another girl that I worked there with once. Did you ever do that? Look up people that just kinda cross your mind to see what they're doing. Like you would never ever think and so easy you could find them like on Facebook.

jojo (24:12.25)
Yes. I all the time. All the time. You can find anyone. I mean, honestly, none of my clients are listening to this, but if I don't have their birth date and I need to I need it for something, you just Google it. You can find people's birth dates so easily.

sue (24:32.268)
Yeah, I mean when we were well we were dealing with some weird people in the last couple of months and Anthony was like, Is our address like published? Yeah, dude. Yeah. And he was like, like why or how? And I'm like, because you didn't block it. Like I don't know, I there must be a way to block it, but

jojo (24:48.958)
I'm sure it is.

jojo (25:00.09)
Anyone can look up tax records on the like Colin Cad. When Sloane was making new friends in high school or seeing someone, the first thing Matt did was look up their home and how much they owed on it.

sue (25:02.903)
I know.

sue (25:16.812)
Well, can he do that with with his like work software?

jojo (25:22.238)
But like I know how to look up p how much people have like taxes on their homes. It's it's easy. You just gotta know their name. Yep.

sue (25:29.166)
Really?

sue (25:35.17)
Did you ever look me up?

jojo (25:36.584)
I have not, but guess what I'm gonna do right after this?

sue (25:38.973)
Ha ha ha.

sue (25:43.704)
I don't think it's very interesting.

jojo (25:46.825)
I mean, it's just funny to see like, like downtown McKinney's taxes are so stupid. They're like so little. But then you look up someone that you know that lives in Dallas, you're like, Holy shit, they are paying so much money in property taxes.

sue (26:02.348)
When there was a potential remember when Plana was doing all that redis re realigning the districts? It was like before McMillan was built. So gosh, my kids were probably like elementary, but I went to like a a meeting about it because they wanted to bus our kids all the way over to like 14th Street, like Williams, when they just built a brand new

jojo (26:12.647)
Yes.

jojo (26:26.575)
I remember this.

sue (26:31.054)
Хай ску окрас за стріт фрамас.

jojo (26:33.2)
Yeah, they were trying to balance out the socioeconomic situation.

sue (26:37.782)
Yeah, and that's that's great. But it was really flip like we we thought we were gonna go to the high school anyway, and then they built one right there. So we're like, my god. So we weren't being snobby about it. We just were like, now there's one right here. But I went to this meeting and people were speaking up about they had just built these homes in like this nice area and that they were

jojo (26:40.019)
Yeah.

jojo (26:51.389)
Yeah.

sue (27:07.394)
thinking that they were gonna go to this school and then I realized and they said something about their property tax and it was like four times as much as ours. And we're like, How are you like your property tax is like a whole other mortgage. Why in the world?

jojo (27:15.004)
I know. That's I know. I saw this thing the other day, this lady said someone should start like a tour group where you just drive around the city that you live in and you're allowed to go inside the homes that you could never afford and you get to ask the people what they do for a living. And I was like, I would absolutely go on that.

sue (27:36.93)
sue (27:44.088)
I would love to know. I don't even know what people on my street do. Even my friend across the street, I'm like, she's just so vague. I don't know what she does. Isn't that weird?

jojo (27:45.268)
I know.

jojo (27:54.023)
It's like it's like on Friends. No one really knew what Chandler did. I'm sure they all have like weird just they're they're on spreadsheets all day long.

sue (28:04.352)
Yeah. God, that would be so boring.

jojo (28:09.406)
So a lot like Sloane said, it's giving shackles. Today's her last day of work. She's so excited.

sue (28:18.028)
So how and then she'll go on a little vacation.

jojo (28:21.764)
She's gonna go to Florida for a week and then she's moving back in. I'm so excited. I don't know what she's gonna be up to. But she just decided nine to five is not for her. And I'm glad she decided that at twenty two years old instead of suffering for ten years or whatever. if it's not for you, it's not for you. And you're so young, find something else to do. It's fine. Totally fine.

sue (28:45.376)
I mean, that sounds just like my kid. I mean, she was just Well it I it also sounds like she if she was doing a nine to five that she felt like she was using her brain, you know, she she just did not feel like she was contributing and she couldn't understand so and she did her exit interview with HR and

She had to tell why she was leaving and everything and they were just like Yeah, it sounds just like why you're the girl before you left too. It's like, so change this. Like what

jojo (29:22.415)
Yeah, change it.

sue (29:25.856)
Weird.

jojo (29:26.913)
So weird. I did read a statistic the other day that like thirty-three percent of adults who are thirty or under live with their parents. And I believe it.

sue (29:37.943)
Yeah, it's

I we have a few friends that have their, you know, college grads living with them and stuff. I mean, I I think nothing of it anymore because what are you gonna do?

jojo (29:49.95)
No. How you're gonna buy a home in this economy? I don't think so.

sue (29:54.403)
Yeah.

Kick out.

jojo (29:58.587)
No. Honestly, out of all of Sloane's friends, she was the only one that didn't live at home after college. And now she's moving back home. They're all living at home.

sue (30:10.87)
Yeah, I don't think any of Marta's friends are. That's why it's always like she feels a little Yeah, I mean, and I get it, but it's like easy for me to say, like, you're not behind, you're not this, you're not that. Because they just put this pressure on themselves. And, you know, truth be told, she probably would be happy if she had a job that she liked and was getting paid decent and so

jojo (30:14.276)
that's hard then, yeah.

jojo (30:25.863)
Right.

jojo (30:38.524)
Yeah. I don't either. I just know Sloane got super homesick. I mean, she has been away for a long time and at some point very far away from us, like halfway around the world. And I think she came home for Easter and they had Easter at Deborah's house and our family's fun. And she was like, What am I doing? Why am I not with my family? So

sue (30:40.172)
I don't know what's gonna happen.

sue (31:04.172)
Yeah, maybe that's what Marta's going through now. I mean we don't talk about it, but I mean she's she's been really sweet.

jojo (31:06.408)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I bet she missed y'all.

sue (31:15.096)
She just wanted to eat.

jojo (31:16.658)
And you guys are a fun family.

sue (31:20.256)
I mean, Anthony always tries to fight me when she's around. I don't know what it is. And I always forget that he does this. And I text Stephanie the other day because I was like, I always forget that because we don't fight. And then all of a sudden he's fucking with me again. And I'm like, why does he do this in front of her? Like

jojo (31:42.599)
Is he trying to be the favourite?

sue (31:45.952)
I d I really don't know. But I like watched his face change at we were eating and I was like, no. No. No. And like you called me, you said something I was like

jojo (31:52.809)
We're not no, sir. No. No one's got time for that.

sue (32:01.28)
I like he said I triggered I can't even tell you what I said or whatever because it was that like innocuous. Is that the right word? but she didn't bite and I didn't bite and he was just slept on his little island.

jojo (32:10.962)
Yeah, that's the right word. Boom. yeah, it's two against one, Anthony.

sue (32:19.992)
Well, it's usually th they usually gang up on me. But March's goal is not to like fight with me right now, so

jojo (32:23.804)
Mm.

jojo (32:30.164)
lovely. We love that.

sue (32:34.062)
I know. And speaking of Steph, she well, I'll have to cut that out. She texts me about Greg's hearing. And I'm like, he better get it checked. my God. You know? He's just I guess he's like hard of hear hearing, but it's like that's a big

jojo (32:54.605)
Wait, what's going on with his hearing?

sue (33:04.738)
You know, link with the fucking dementia. It's like the first one. All right, we got I start that over and we'll talk about that. We have to do something with dementia. I think.

jojo (33:08.818)
It is, it's true.

sue (33:20.354)
Right.

jojo (33:20.946)
Yeah, I mean, do we? I don't know.

sue (33:25.166)
do you remember like gosh, I think it was like our first year. God, did you hear me? First year.

jojo (33:34.143)
Yeah, that's crazy.

sue (33:36.666)
we did an episode on hearing loss. well, like it's come back around in my world because it's like it's potentially one of the biggest risk factors for dementia with untreated hearing loss. It can potentially double or triple the risk of cognit cognitive decline. Isn't that crazy?

jojo (33:57.309)
Yeah, 'cause if you can't hear anything, then your brain is not working as hard as it should be.

sue (34:03.05)
Yeah, it says there's brain strain. And when the hearing's impaired, the brain must expend more effort to decode sounds and understand speech. That takes away from resources from memory and thinking, creating a strain that can lead to dysfunction. And it can cause your brain to shrink or atrophy faster, especially where the part that processes sound and memory.

It's just crazy. I mean, it's like a mild or like a moderate risk. But it's definitely there. It's like I had a friend mention her someone in her family's hearing loss and how frustrating it is. I'm like, get the fucking hearing aids. Don't they look like little air pod air pods now, right?

jojo (34:46.606)
Yes, get the hearing aids.

jojo (34:51.212)
Yeah, and they connect to your phone. They can literally be like AirPods and you can barely see them. I know they're expensive.

sue (35:00.226)
Like how expensive.

jojo (35:01.714)
Like six, seven grand. Yeah, that yeah, they're expensive. I just remember cause friend of the pod Cherry, my cousin Cherry, was telling me she had to stay on top of her hearing 'cause she knew it was linked to dementia. And she's like, just pay whatever it costs to get the the fanciest hearing aids, because it's worth it.

sue (35:04.632)
Yikes.

sue (35:22.624)
Wow. She's so proactive. We should follow up with her.

jojo (35:26.034)
I know, I love it.

Ooh, she's doing some fun traveling in the next year. I I'll I I we need to have her back on just to talk about it. They're going on a African river cruise, combining it with safari. Like I wanna do it so bad.

sue (35:43.576)
I wanna do that. Did you book that?

jojo (35:44.807)
Yeah.

sue (35:49.198)
I wanna do that.

jojo (35:51.375)
I've got my goal set. I've got to go to Antarctica. After my BFF from high school, Jamie went to the Arctic on a cruise just last month and she was like, It was awesome. It's very barren. It's just like unlike anything you've ever seen. But she's like, Antarctica is where all the wildlife is. So I I gotta go. That's like on my bucket list for the next year.

sue (36:16.77)
Penguins?

jojo (36:17.746)
Penguins, so many penguins.

sue (36:20.204)
Give me a penguin. Can you hold a penguin?

jojo (36:21.342)
I know.

jojo (36:26.59)
Maybe at a zoo, probably not in the wild.

sue (36:31.352)
I wonder if they're aggressive or like sweet or like

jojo (36:33.82)
I don't th how aggressive could they be if I'm I don't know. Yeah, I mean I'm scared to death of ducks. Ducks can be so mean.

sue (36:37.07)
I don't know. I don't see I never see people like around them though. Maybe maybe we're just respecting them.

sue (36:50.766)
Like ducks, like if you just see walking in a park.

jojo (36:53.65)
Well you like when I taught at Plano East and they had those ducks all over. I mean, they would like attack. I was scared to death of them.

sue (36:57.659)
right.

sue (37:02.52)
Kind of funny.

jojo (37:03.54)
And then ironically or not ironically, I'm allergic to duck. So yeah, like duck eggs, duck fat. I it it makes me violently ill. During COVID, remember when that we couldn't find eggs anywhere? And so I went down to the farmer's market and I only thing people were selling were duck eggs because chicken eggs were like sold out. So I made like scrambled eggs out of duck eggs and I was sick for like three days.

sue (37:09.399)
Like to eat it?

sue (37:15.554)
How did you find that out?

jojo (37:31.112)
And it turns out I don't I can't process the protein that's in duck protein. I can't process it and it just comes out every available orifice. Yeah, gross.

sue (37:41.24)
Brody. gosh, how about that?

jojo (37:46.952)
Are you talking about Giggly Squad?

sue (37:49.004)
No, the viol the vi yeah, she's sick too, but the violent diarrhea epidemic that's happening.

jojo (37:52.797)
Yeah. The cliospora or whatever. I'm scared to eat lettuce. Did you see it Taco Bell is not serving lettuce anymore just in case?

sue (38:02.626)
well like thank you Taco Bell for being the C D C because I mean I didn't fact check this but I feel like it was coming from real news that that what is it what is that like a the parasite it was taken off the list of potential like harmful like last year.

jojo (38:05.64)
Thank you, thank you.

jojo (38:19.156)
It's like a parasite.

jojo (38:28.518)
Yes. Well and the the administration stopped having people check the produce as it's coming in from different countries. Like w there's no more testing of that. And now people have violent diarrhoea.

sue (38:31.682)
Is that true?

sue (38:41.774)
Yeah, and for that specific Yeah, and that for that specific parasite. Disgusting.

jojo (38:48.156)
Yes. Yes. Disgusting. I'm just like I'm not eating any produce right now 'cause you know what I don't need is violent diarrhea.

sue (39:00.16)
No, who does?

jojo (39:01.138)
I don't need it. I don't need it. but s

sue (39:04.172)
I only need it if I like have a like event coming up.

jojo (39:07.732)
Yeah, a couple of days. Flatten the old tummy out.

sue (39:10.574)
Yeah, but they're like they're talking about how it was like like this one story, I don't know how true it was, but she it was on Instagram, she said she was at a business lunch and you know, completely humiliated herself.

jojo (39:28.068)
God. no thank you. my God.

sue (39:29.92)
Mm-hmm. She was like, Do you throw your shoes away?

Yeah, that was like part of the explain I was just like, my god, this poor girl. It could have been made up. But

jojo (39:38.158)
Yes. You throw everything away.

sue (39:43.808)
It sounds pretty disgusting. And Texas, of course. We got a lot of it. And Michigan. Mm-hmm.

jojo (39:46.406)
Of course, of course. really?

sue (39:54.37)
Lots of Michigan. But speaking of the administration and cutting out funding, so we all know how like they have completely well not completely, but the whole the disease research centers closed. They s they closed like a third of the places where they do Alzheimer research.

35 disease research centers were closed and they no longer have federal funding and they're scrambling to continue. But then over in like England in the UK, they just came out like last week where they found another way to like potentially stop Alzheimer's.

jojo (40:48.906)
I mean, well, thank God someone's picking up the slack.

sue (40:53.098)
They it says they may have finally found how Alzheimer's kills the brain cells. They have identified a previously overlooked mechanism of brain cell death that appears to play a major role in Alzheimer's and frontotemporal dementia. So this could lead to new treatments aimed at the slowing the neutron loss by interrupting the process before the cells are destroyed. So they're over here.

Still doing all the research and it's something that they found like over ten years ago, but they've still been working on it. How are we gonna and if they do find it, are i are we gonna be privy to their info and their

jojo (41:26.246)
Yes.

jojo (41:33.529)
That's what I was just wondering. Are they gonna share? Like

sue (41:39.542)
It's centered on a mechanism called do you know this? Cario car caryoptosis. It's K A. A mechanism called carytop caroptosis. It could point researchers toward new ways to slow the progression.

jojo (41:49.393)
No.

jojo (41:54.247)
Yeah.

sue (42:01.686)
I mean and and they're

sue (42:05.864)
Yeah, so they wanna stop the dying of the cell before you end up with all these brain issues.

jojo (42:14.493)
I would love that too.

sue (42:17.56)
The findings were published in Nature Communications. They're based on an analysis of 3,000 brain cells collected from 28 people with either FTD or end stage Alzheimer's.

See, why can't we keep this research going in our country?

jojo (42:38.548)
I don't know. And and like when are they gonna reinstate everything that Doge cut?

sue (42:38.574)
Yeah, this is

sue (42:43.276)
I don't know. Are people just getting like independently funded and they're like hustling and trying to get like but how

jojo (42:50.738)
And like where what are what are they doing with all that money they're quote unquote saving?

sue (42:56.962)
I hate everything.

jojo (42:57.916)
I hate everything. I'm like, give me twenty four hours of amnesia, please.

sue (43:02.658)
I know. That's like a little vacation, Katie, correct?

jojo (43:04.39)
Yeah. Put me out of my misery.

sue (43:11.746)
The death and loss of cells in the brain drives many symptoms experienced by people living with dementia. The study uncovers a new series of chemical events which can coordinate cell death in brain cells. I mean, for decades we've known the toxic toxic proteins build up in Alzheimer's and FTD, but exactly how they lead to the loss of brain cells has remained unclear. See, they're real hustling over there.

This is why Alzheimer Research UK funds and supports research.

jojo (43:45.672)
Mm.

sue (43:48.076)
Are we all gonna move? Are we all gonna be in assisted living together? Talking about how it used to be. Did you see there's a cute story? Did you send me this story? Someone sent it to me. But it's like all these people that went to high school together are all living in assisted living together. Or people that went grew up together. So it's probably like a small town thing or whatever. But they're all like in the same assisted living. I don't know.

jojo (43:54.91)
Yes. Yes.

jojo (44:10.074)
Yeah. It's sounds amazing.

sue (44:17.902)
'Cause everyone can keep reminding you of all the things. You know.

jojo (44:21.04)
Yes. And then you all can like play bingo together and get your nail well, not get your nails done together, but

sue (44:27.294)
No, I mean maybe if I after I lose my mind they'll be like, Hook me up.

jojo (44:30.868)
Watch your nails never be not painted.

sue (44:36.044)
my well, that's like my mom. My mom was doing fucking arts and crafts and wearing flowers in her hair. All the things that she was like, cutesy bullshit. Cutesy. So cutesy. And then she had flower crowns on. my God. And painted t-shirts.

jojo (44:37.544)
I know!

jojo (44:49.576)
Yep. See?

jojo (44:55.336)
You're gonna be going for massages.

sue (44:58.814)
Yeah. From the guy down the hall.

jojo (45:03.579)
my god. So funny.

sue (45:04.878)
I talked to our friend Joyce from Ruby care this week.

jojo (45:12.596)
Okay, what's going on?

sue (45:14.72)
just just staying in touch. They're still out there, you know, doing the best work ever and helping people find their places. So if anyone out there is looking for assisted living memory care, even senior living Ruby care here in Dallas, they're great.

jojo (45:33.308)
Yep, doing amazing things.

sue (45:35.124)
I hate that we have to be like, hey, my friend's about to contact you because that means my friend has, you know, family going through it. It's sad.

jojo (45:39.536)
I know. Yep. Yep, it is. But it happens almost daily that we talk to someone who's going through it.

sue (45:53.422)
That's really true. Are you fine are you meeting people on the flights? Have you have you had any people flying with their dementia mommy?

jojo (45:54.545)
Yep.

jojo (46:02.896)
Yes, honestly I have. And you know, it's it ma exactly how you can imagine it goes. It's stressful for everyone involved, even the person with dementia. in fact, one lady I'm not really sure why, but she had a first class seat. She had a caretaker that she had hired to sit and coach with her mother. Now you can imagine how that went.

Mom's freaking out that she's not with her daughter. So daughter gives up her first class seat to some strangers so that she can we were like, listen, she's really upset. You gotta go sit by your mom. Like I can't believe I forgot to tell you this. So she was like, okay, like sir sitting next to my mom, go up in one D. I gotta sit by her. He was like, hell yeah.

sue (46:33.663)
Okay.

sue (46:57.526)
I mean I guess she maybe thought that she could have like a little reprieve or something.

jojo (47:01.534)
She said, I don't she said, We fly all the time and she's never freaked out before. I was like, I'm sorry, I totally get it. But y sh you gotta go sit by her, yeah.

sue (47:09.887)
yeah, there's a time when they

sue (47:15.544)
What if she wouldn't have? Because

jojo (47:18.376)
I get my main teacher voice out when I have to.

sue (47:22.156)
Because you know that that the mom was just yeah, something snapped. Or maybe she didn't like that caretaker that day.

jojo (47:27.316)
She I mean, maybe not, but it was like the typical you you know a dementia spiral when you see it. And and the other flight attendants were really young. I was like the oldest one. So they didn't really understand and I was like, I got this guys. Like I got this.

sue (47:35.308)
Yeah.

sue (47:44.44)
Don't you think like I know we've talked about this with like in restaurants and stuff that like don't you think by now there would be like part of your training just like not a lot, but just like, hey, this might be happening.

jojo (47:58.825)
You know, that is a really excellent point. They should st yeah, of of what Alzheimer's looks like or what dementia looks like.

sue (48:01.581)
Be conscious

sue (48:06.86)
Yeah, or even if they are traveling with their daughter or a caretaker, like just understand that it might be you know, you might be repeating the same thing ten times. You know, it's like don't get an you know, maybe like I don't know. I I would think by now it would be kind of happening.

jojo (48:27.824)
Yeah. I have noticed that when we have passengers with dementia, it's not on the paperwork, obviously, but someone that gate agent someone is immediately telling us when they're boarding. Like we know. And it's usually the family member. Like he's got dementia, he's with me, just letting you know. Which is nice. Yeah.

sue (48:38.572)
Okay.

sue (48:45.147)
that's good. Yeah.

we were talking about Jimmy's dad coming down to meet the new baby. And I go, Are you are you gonna fly him down? Or like are we still is that still safe? Cause last time his plane got like canceled or something, something happened. And he sat at the airport for like a day and a half. It was something absurd. And we're like

Someone didn't go back and get and I'm like, my God.

jojo (49:18.74)
Wait, Jimmy's so young. How old is his dad?

sue (49:21.562)
Jimmy's like forty. Uncle Gus is like eighty three probably, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. 'Cause like Uncle Gus has a daughter like a couple of years older than me. So yeah.

jojo (49:26.182)
Okay. So he was a little bit older when he had him.

jojo (49:33.863)
Okay. Yeah, I mean at some point like can you sign them up for like the unaccompanied minor program, but it's for like seniors? I don't know. I don't know, but I have to tell the pod people what I told Oyo I saw LAX the other day. If you order a wheelchair at LAX for your grandma or whatever, the wheelchairs are now robotic.

sue (49:44.012)
I don't know. Because I

sue (49:52.065)
Yes, yes.

jojo (50:01.5)
There's no one pushing the wheelchair. We saw someone put their elderly family member in the wheelchair, type in what gate she needed to go to, and it just took off with grandma in it by itself. It was the most amazing thing, and I wish I had gotten it on video.

sue (50:16.502)
I know. I'm like, okay, video where it didn't happen because I'm obsessed with this. I can't like next time you're in LA, you have to just be on the lookout for someone in one of those.

jojo (50:21.033)
I know.

jojo (50:25.045)
Yeah, well you see everywhere. 'Cause sometimes the gate agent will type in where it needs to go so it's traveling empty to go get someone.

sue (50:35.234)
Fascinating.

jojo (50:36.016)
It was fascinating. And grandma was so excited about this, like she was not nervous as she whipped out her phone and was recording the th the scene as well. And she was going to a different terminal.

sue (50:48.247)
shit. Now how does that work? You had to get on the the thing.

jojo (50:50.962)
N no, LAX you can you can walk there. It's a hall but the the chair just zoomed by.

sue (50:57.656)
my god. I was just telling someone this. That's so funny. Speaking of grandmas, are you you're not watching Love Island, are you? With Slow?

jojo (51:02.749)
It was so funny.

jojo (51:07.228)
No, it's it was too much. Every day I couldn't do it.

sue (51:10.518)
Yeah, I me and Marto, you know, watched it. And last night was family night. And this kid's grandma came in and she has been watching every episode. And she has she was like saying like funny things to each person because she's been watching them for whatever it is, like 30 nights or whatever. Yeah, yeah, super cute. And and God, what did she s I'm gonna kill myself for bringing this up and not

jojo (51:16.881)
Okay.

jojo (51:30.65)
She's with it. Okay.

sue (51:39.36)
remembering it. But she said she made some crack about a threesome and like 'cause like her son was like flirty with actually one of the dudes and it was like a joke online and everything. And she said like someone always gets neglected in a threesome.

jojo (52:03.664)
Grandma said.

sue (52:05.228)
Yeah, was so great. It was like those like I just I s pause the TV. I go, did I just hear that? Did I just hear that correctly?

jojo (52:15.745)
That's amazing. And not something I've ever thought about in my life. I think grandma has some experience.

sue (52:22.722)
God damn, I'm trying to find it.

jojo (52:25.862)

And you know how the people from the World Cup were like looking at our bread ingredients and going, What are you talking about? It's flour, yeast, water, you know?
