Hop along to conversations with the Kaz sisters, Ashley and Angela. You'll find a mix of silly, serious and everything in between. 🦘
This is sisters Ashley and Angela.
And this is sister Rooy. Hey, y' all. Welcome back. Wow. That. Y' all right. twang.
I heard y' all from Ashley.
I mean, I say y' all a lot in text messages, but I don't really speak it, I guess maybe. I don't know. But that had a real twang to it. And that, was not. Was not surpri. Or was surprised by it. I surprised myself.
Maybe you hung out with me and Jake too much today.
I actually feel like I've said y' all more than, I used to, like, in, you know, Illinois. Ever since I moved down here. I feel like Justin's friends say it a lot.
Interesting.
I think it's a Southern thing.
I'll have to pay more attention. Alabama makes more sense for me for some reason. I just.
I don't know.
Even though I know Florida is more south, so that's strange.
Yeah, totally. Anyway, it's more south, but that's where. It's where all just people move to. Like, no one. I mean, there's obviously people from Florida.
But it's a hodgepodge.
Yeah, hodgepodge.
Last time we spoke, we talked about our mistakes or stupid things
Anyhow, welcome back, y' all. Last time we spoke, we talked about our mistakes or stupid things we've done.
More stupid things we've done.
Yeah, more so stupid things. And we stopped kind of in our childhood. But we have a couple more to just kind of do a little part two of some stupid things we've done. Because, guys, we're all human, and this just proves we make mistakes.
And why not just prove more why we're dumb? Dumbs.
Maybe more so more than others.
We'll see. There's probably stupider things we could have done, but I don't know.
Yeah.
According to Ashley, she has a few that she has. Sympathetic.
Yeah, I don't do these. I don't know if Angela knows about a couple of them, so I am so curious, guys. So we will see her reaction to them. But, I was just gonna open it up with a really stupid story that I did, and I, guess it would have been high school. You would have been in college, and I think you were visiting back for the summer.
Really?
I don't know. We didn't have this. We had a water park down the street from our town, and it did not open up until later on. Like, it was not there for our childhood. and I could drive because I remember meeting you there.
Oh, okay. If you could drive, then. Yeah, I guess.
Because you and your childhood. Best Friend were like, already in line or, like, going towards somewhere and you had been there for maybe already an hour or so. And I remember I had just got there, so I hadn't gotten wet yet from any of the slides.
All right. All right.
Yeah.
I guess I was older than I thought I was for this.
Yeah. I don't remember. It had to have opened when I was in high school, so at least, you know, after sophomore year, because driving on my own. so go to meet my sister and we're waiting in line with our friend to go up a slide. And I, for some reason, again, because, like, just what is Ashley thinking? I put my knee between these wooden slats. So, like, a water park typically has stairs to go up to go on the slide. So you're waiting in line.
Multiple platforms of going upstairs.
Yeah. And, this one was made out of wood. I feel like in Florida, they're, like, all made out of metal. But this one in good old Illinois, made out of wood. And I just. I put my knee between. Because I was just looking over the edge, talking, Shooting the breeze with Angela, lollygagging. And we go to move because the line is moving and my knee is stuck. And it won't come out.
Nope.
And I just remember saying, angela, my knee is stuck. And, like, what were you even thinking in that moment? I don't know.
I mean, guys, Ashley had. Ashley is skinny, especially still in the high school days. Knobby knees. And, I just remember thinking, what. What do you mean you're stuck?
And so we get to a point where people need to keep the line moving. And we have to tell them, like, go ahead of us.
Cause we can't move.
Cause we can't move. And we're, I mean, maybe two platforms away from the slide. So we're like, high ish up. And I'm just like, the fire department's gonna have to come m. They're gonna have to cut this slat and get me free. I'm freaking out in my mind. And I'm just like, what was I thinking? And Angela's like, you can't budge it at all. Move it. And I'm like, pulling and yanking. I'm like, it's not coming out.
We try different positions of like, if you'll go upwards or downwards or rotate a smidge, but then it would hurt your knee.
Yeah. Yeah. So eventually, I think I slid it down a little bit more. And the slats were not evenly parallel. And so I was able to break free.
Fortunately, before any staff Members really had to come.
Yes. But, I mean, people definitely look at us walking by when we were like, you can go ahead. And they're like, are you sure? We're like, yeah, we're sure. My sister's stuck. And they were like, what? Like, looking at my knee. So finally get free. Get to the top of the slide, and this cute lifeguard just literally, I think, looks at my bathing suit. And that's probably how people described me.
Ty: I got my knee stuck at a water park once
They must have.
They had to have described me in some way, because this guy looked at me and he's like, are you the one that got your knee stuck? I was like, yeah, that was me. It's I'm free now.
Thanks for caring.
I don't even know if he radioed or told anybody I was free, but.
Oh, man, I'm sure you were the talk of that water park that day.
Oh, for sure. I'm sure that. I mean, maybe there's. I wonder if there's people that still talk about it that worked there that were like, remember when there was a girl that got their knee stuck? Gosh.
Or who knows? Maybe you weren't the first.
Maybe, because. Yeah. I don't know.
Would love to know if other people got their knees stuck at a water park.
You know, I'd rather be stuck in a wooden slat than, like, stuck in a slide.
Yeah. Yeah.
There are worse places to get stuck, for sure.
But, you know, being an adolescent or teacher teenager and lots of eyes looking at us, that was a great, embarrassing, moment.
I don't even remember where our childhood friend was. Did we tell her to keep going up or did we. Did you. Did she take a break and sit that one out? And I was there with you alone?
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
I have to ask her if she remembers this. I'll have to see.
But, yeah, thought I'd start out our little stupidity things we did with, With a small one to ease right back into it before I really blow up your life over there.
Oh, yeah. I'm really curious what's next.
I'm like, really? Just, Building it up. And then you're gonna be like, oh, I hope that's what happens. Yeah.
With how you keep saying these are doozies and that I'm gonna judge you and that you're a terrible person.
It probably won't be, though. Probably won't be that response. Do you have any little stupid things like that that you've done?
I don't know where I'VE gotten stuck. No. However, you know what it really reminds me of? Remember a ski trip? Not a ski trip, but a ski.
Incident where we've had so many ski incidents.
There was definitely a cute guy or two.
Okay, yes, I know which story. Where we're getting onto the lift. That's not even you.
I know.
Again, that's me.
But it reminds me of this and this stupid incident. It's not even a mistake. It's just something dumb that happened, and it was hilarious. And it is forever seared in my brain.
Yeah. I mean, literally, we were just getting on a ski lift to go up a hill to ski down.
Yeah.
And this ski lift, I mean, I was small, and I feel like I was nervous about them all the time.
But I was always nervous getting onto a ski lift.
But you were on the edge so you could grab the.
Yeah, I guess.
the side. And I was in the middle between.
Two other guys that were randos that we didn't know.
Yeah.
And, I don't remember if it was the type of lift where it had that metal pole or not in the middle.
I don't. I don't recall.
Well, I had to. It's like, where you had to time it perfectly to lean back and hold on to it. But if you were doing it at the same time as the other guy, like, could have been a little awkward, but I just remember you getting bulldozed.
Guys, this ski lift seat bench took me down. It mowed me over completely.
So bad.
Completely. Just, face planted into the snow and they had to stop the lift. How embarrassing. And I had to, like, get my skis back on and get my butt up off the ground and then sit on the bench. And I think, yeah, the cute guys are just like, are you okay? Yeah, like.
Like, dude, are you okay?
And I just. Every single time that these things come back, that we talk about these stories, I just want to go back and quote Clueless. I know when. If anybody has seen Clueless, when Ty, if you haven't, definitely should. It's a good chick flick.
Ty talks about some of the embarrassing things he's done growing up
Totally.
But Ty goes to this dance and completely just falls down the stairs. And these guys see her do it, and he's like, I saw you fall. Are you okay? And she's like, yeah, thanks. And that's literally what I want to say to all of these people that I will never see again and just be like, yeah, thanks.
I'm good.
Let's not talk about it anymore. So anyway. Sorry.
That's okay.
Yeah, that's not. Not even a Mistake or stupid thing for Angela? Just more stupid, embarrassing things for me.
Oh, what a laugh that one got me. That one got me good.
When we are recording this, Angela is, like, about to go into labor any day now, so, yeah, literally, I.
Feel like I could go any second.
So it's, questionable to make her laugh this hard. But, hey, she's ready. So if it happens, then great, totally ready. Oh, you have nothing else to contribute before I go into my doozies?
I don't know. I was trying to think of other mistakes that I had done, growing up. And the biggest thing was just the drama that was created, I guess, between, like, we. I was best friends with these two girls. You know who they are?
Yeah.
And, like, we were a trio for so long, and then I can't remember Which of us. I never started this, but one of the friends who I don't really keep in touch with at all to this day, she had started, like, girl drama of either being buddy buddy with me first and we were excluding the other.
Hm.
Or vice versa. Eventually it turned out being the opposite, where she became buddy buddy with the other girl, and then I was the one left out. So, like, that person I never stayed in touch with so much.
It was like, clique drama.
Yeah, it was like clique drama I don't know if this was my form of being bullied, I suppose, but, I mean, there were worse things. I think it was just more like talking behind my back, them hanging out more than me being invited to things. And then at some point, I don't know how long it went on for, like, months or what, but, I mean, I was upset when I found out, oh, this is happening to me. And of course, I felt like a terrible person when I was doing it with the one girl and excluding my now current, like, girlfriend that has been friends with me since third grade. So we obviously, me and her, we got through and passed all of that and passed whatever drama that was that was stirred up by the other girlfriend. but that was one of those things where. Okay, definitely knew it was a mistake. I Feel like I learned from it. And luckily me and the other girlfriend rose above it and we've stayed friends since like I literally had conversation with her two days ago. Yeah, you didn't talk about my pregnancy.
You didn't talk to her.
So um, I'm like, that was really stupid. I don't think any of my other friends would have known about all of this stuff. Mom would have been probably the only one that knew I was upset and crying. I'd have to ask mom if she even knew this stuff was going on. It's like, like I don't even know.
I feel like that's just normal middle school drama. Drama though.
Yeah.
I am sure I was talked to behind my back.
Yeah. But that's the one though where I felt it was really hurtful. I don't remember other girlfriends talking behind my back or anything like that. Like, I don't know. So that was like the only other little mistake thing I could think of kind of growing up before going on. And really all the other mistakes probably involved boys later on. But I didn't have any boyfriend relationships in high school because of the all girl high school.
And yeah.
No social life outside of literally homework that took me hours to do because I'm ridiculously slow reader and thorough.
Yeah. And you were taking like AP classes. Can't relate. I went to the same all girl high school. And I mean I had homework, but I don't remember doing homework. Like you did homework?
Yeah, I, I don't know if it was because my ability to read fast.
But you also got better grades than me. I don't know.
But I just felt like high school was so hard compared to even college. Like college so easy.
Justin and I will talk about that all the time too. Being like college is such a breeze. And he knows this.
High school only had AOL and aim, but that was the extent of social media
I'm a terrible writer, for like English classes and things. so even that, like having to do MLA or apa, There were plenty of people in college who like didn't even know what that format was. And at least our high school set us up to know those types of things.
Yeah.
But yeah. Made college a breeze.
Yeah.
Fortunately I definitely got way better grades in college than I did in high school.
Yeah.
Yeah.
High school was. Ah, high school was a hard doozy. But anyway, so that's all I got.
That was like nothing comparatively. Just regular good old school mean girl drama.
The typical. But I can't imagine what it would have been like if there was like the social media aspect and all of that. Because that was just old school girl drama. Like. Yeah, stupid stuff nowadays. Who knows what it could have been and how that could have been.
People had MySpace. I don't think we really ever had a MySpace. And I don't know when Facebook came out. That was in high school, I think for me.
Yeah, MySpace. I feel like I had a page, but that's. I don't. I don't know what was even on it.
Yeah.
Like, was that the one with the guy who's like, Joe and it's a thumbs up dude in a white T shirt?
Is his name Joe? Darn pregnancy brain. But yes, Tom.
Tom or Joe.
It is some generic name, three letter word name. Oh my gosh. People are gonna judge us for getting things wrong.
But we didn't really have a MySpace to really. It wasn't like we were on MySpace a ton to have.
yeah, we only had like AOL and aim, but that was like the extent of social media. I was just like, direct messaging is what people call it these days.
Aim, it was great.
Your first screen name was Pixie Girl with a U. No, it was not with an X
What was your first screen name?
My first screen name was Pixie Girl with a U. Oh. But it was also not with an X.
What?
P, I, C, K, S, Y, G.
U, R, L. No, it was not.
Yes, it was. How would you know?
I don't know how I would know. Cause I don't think we really ever talked to each other since we lived with each other.
But all I know is my icon was this cool like tricycle bike with pump tassel things on the handlebars.
My first screen name was Gymnast ak but I'm sure had some sort of numbers afterward too. What's funny is I wasn't really into gymnastics. I. I know I'm like, I did gymnastics for a little bit with a friend and maybe middle school, but we didn't. I didn't really take it seriously. It's not like we were going to competitions and stuff. It was kind of just getting out of the house and going to an open gym, learning to do a backflip or a cartwheel.
You doing a backflip?
I knew how to do it. I knew how to do a cartwheel, but I can't think of other names right now and I don't want to further embarrass myself. This pregnancy brain is so bad.
Blame it on the pregnancy.
Is it called a roundup? A roundup where you like do a cartwheel and then land on both feet at the same time.
Round up. Sounds familiar.
Oh, it's so bad. My brain.
I don't know, I personally haven't done any gymnastics, but you know who would probably judge you? Our niece.
Oh, yes. She. Yeah.
A round off.
Round off. What did I say? Roundup.
Didn't you say roundup? We'll have to rewind and do a replay and see.
Yeah, I think it was around up that I said. And it is a round off. Yeah. Roundup just sounded bad.
And that's what you kill weeds.
That's why I said. That's why I said, I don't think this is right. Before I said it, I knew it wasn't right anyway.
What a tangent into the MySpace and AOL.
Well, you brought up social media, and it's gotta make kids do really stupid things nowadays.
I know. I just. Who knows what we could have done at that point in time had we been younger with all of that. So I'm thankful for that. I did not live during that time with all of this loveliness.
I plagiarized on a college test during finals
Now, facts. Let me just go into it now.
Rip the band aid off, Sister.
So let me preface it with. It doesn't make it okay.
But.
But I was, like, pretty much dying at the time, and we didn't know what was wrong with me.
Oh.
So this had to have been freshman year, because it was when I was dating Justin.
Freshman year of college.
Okay. Yes, freshman year of college. And it was second semester. So it was, like, the end of my first year of college.
Okay.
And I was in English class. And again, English is not my strong suit. And I think in college it's called, like, communications. So this was, like, comms one, whatever. And this teacher also did not help the situation. She was awful. No one liked her. but anyhow, I got super sick, right? During finals. Our grandmother died, and literally. My tonsils were, like, the size of golf balls.
I do remember this.
so I powered through, and we got to do this, like, little note card for one of our finals. And for this. For this comms one, whatever final and whatever information it was on a book. I can't remember, but I just remember I definitely cheated on this test and definitely had, like, plagiarized all of my notes on my card from the Internet. I'm not proud of it. I said it was a doozy. and I don't think any of the family knows. I think Jason might have suspected that I legitimately did because I got caught. I got an F On the test. And then I got, failed, So I had to retake the class. And I remember kind of fighting with the teacher back on it, trying to say like, I didn't do this when I 1000% did. And she was like, well, I'm leaving the campus, so I can forward this and all of the like proof or whatever to, you know, the dean, or, you can follow up and take it with them or just like retake the course. And I will also say I feel like a lot of people in this class specifically plagiarize the same notes because a lot of people failed that test and class speaking to multiple students, hey.
Did you cheat on this test? Yeah. Did you?
Not great people.
Not great people people.
And so I, I opted for let's not take this to the dean because I'm pretty sure it's like a one time offense. If you plagiarize and get caught, you can get kicked out of college.
I wouldn't know.
Yeah, I would a little bit. And so I was just like, well, I will, play it safe and just retake the course. There is a summer course, it's online and hopefully this professor is easier.
Ashley blames some friends for plagiarizing a college paper
Let me tell you guys, this professor way easier. And I also don't know if you know, but you can self plagiarize. And so you don't want to ever take a paper you've previously, previously written.
And for like another class.
Yeah, so I had a paper written on, I don't even know, it was like the Catcher in the Rye or something. And for my first class that I failed, it had to be like 10 pages. I'm like, there's only so much you can say about the Catcher in the Rye. So it was a bunch of fillers. And the second course that I took over the summer, I told her I wrote this paper for my first comms so it will definitely show up as ah, in your system of plagiarizing or whatever. Um, is there a way that I can reuse it? And she was very gracious and said, yes, you can reuse it, but I need you to take it down to like six, five or six pages. And I was like, done.
Chop, 40%.
So that was freshman, year college doozy. And yeah, I do think Jason had a suspicion. And I blamed it on some friends because I was so sick. I told him.
Blamed your friends.
I told him your college friends. I don't even remember which friends I was Just like, yeah, they helped me prepare some notes and I guess I won't trust them to help me again. so that just goes back into the lying. I'm a terrible person. And Luckily, I didn't get kicked out of college and I never plagiarized ever again. But again, not to say it made it okay, but I literally was dying. I had like a full on body rash. I couldn't talk, my throat is closing from the size of golf ball tonsils. And they were trying to figure out what was wrong with me. They had put me on antibiotics. That didn't help. And I literally had to miss one of my finals. It was my very last final. I had to call my statistics teacher and tell her that I was like on my deathbed because I really did feel very faint that morning. I remember crawling to my bathroom at the time I was living with my brother, Jeremy. And I remember crawling to my bathroom after I called my teacher and laying on the bathroom floor looking at the ceiling and I could hear him getting ready for work and I couldn't get the courage to like tell him that I needed assistance. And so I think finally, I can't remember if his it's his wife now, so Kelly. I can't remember if Kelly came to check on me or if I texted her from my bedroom and was like, I, I am not doing well. I, am very. And I think she came into my room and was just like, oh my gosh. And we went to an urgent care that I had been going to that gave me the antibiotic. And they literally saw me at the front desk because this was like the third time they'd seen me that week. And they just pointed to the door and said, go to the er. And I think it really came down to me having mono. And they tested it, tested negative at first, but then they told me later on that it was in my system and I was like, I've never had it before, so this has got to be it. And then I found out about 10 years later that when you have mono, you're not supposed to prescribe an antibiotic to it because then that will make you break out in a common rash.
Ah.
Ah. Which is what happened. Yeah, so I thought that I've been allergic to penicillin, which I never was growing up, but since 2011 and turns out, I'm not. And that really screwed me with my first labor, birth story. That is a completely different topic for another time.
Yeah.
And now I am not allergic to penicillin. And wow, what a tangent. see so many lessons learned from plagiarizing on this test. It's really just bad karma.
Everything came around and just attacked you. You medically as well or. No, medically. I don't know physically, guys, Ashley is just in our family, the like problem child with all things medical.
Yeah. Something is always wrong.
Um, started so young, but.
But we can.
That's another episode.
We can do a whole episode on that.
But.
Wow.
Yeah. I can't think of anytime I plagiarized. Did not know about the self plagiarism.
Really.
I had a friend in college It was one of Justin's friends, who got caught self plagiarizing and had to like go to a board because it was in military. And I think they interviewed friends. Like Justin had to do an interview saying of his character or something for real to get him not suspended for, self plagiarism.
I'm just. I find it funny. I didn't know that because my major was health communications. So I had so many communication writing classes all of this. But I guess anything I had to.
Write about was something new.
Was something new and had to be original anyway, so it never even.
This was because I had to. I don't know how I knew about it, but I knew about it going into the class and I had known it was the only class I ever had to retake. So definitely, like I said, learned my lesson.
Interesting.
Olive Garden was an RA resident assistant at college
I guess, you did spark one, experience though. It was like.
Experience. She says experience.
I guess it could be mistake. It. It was very much like a technicality, like in the system. So. Okay. I was at college. I was an RA resident assistant. For those who don't know. I was also the, um. Gosh, what do you call it?
It's like a pregnancy brain. Got you too?
Yeah, totally. It says like office admin people who are like at the. At a lobby of a dorm. The heck are those people? Because that's what I was.
A lobby assistant
I don't know, it was just someone. I mean, it was the easiest job. You sat there, you could do your homework. But when people had to check things out, like games or something or ping pong balls for the lobby. I don't want to say a host recreational. It was just like an Office admin type person.
I. Yeah. I don't know. I never lived in a dorm.
I don't know. So anyways, it was one of those people. I sat at a desk, people would call the phone. You had to answer the phone or manage like, a checkout book, super easy, and you just did your homework. And, it was where I lived in this building for the year at college. So I lived on the third or fourth floor because I lived in this dorm, particularly two years. And anyway, I did this job for a semester, and They didn't technically fire me, but.
Oh, so to do this, it did just get interesting.
Yeah. I don't think you know this. So the, The system that you log your time, you could log your time for the whole week in advance. So you just put I always put in my scheduled hours for what they were. And so if you were late or, if you were late, pretty much if you were late, that's the only time you would have to update your hours. So one day I was late. Must have slept in.
Oh, shocker.
And, you go down the stairs and. And I go about my day, whatever. And I end up, like, getting called to my boss's office. So he's basically also the same boss as I would have had as an RA. Okay. Like, he's the director of the RAs, I guess. I don't know what his title is called. He lives there, though, on campus as well, not in the dorm. But he basically has a conversation with me saying I wasn't in at, you know, the start time, a lot of time. And he looked at what I had already put in for the system, which was the whole week, and said I didn't have my start time at, you know, whatever the five or ten minutes that I was technically late.
Yeah.
And so as a result, he was like, we're going to have to not let you continue with this job because of a trust thing. So. But he also.
Did they, like, think you were faking your hours since you put them in ahead of time?
I guess. I don't know.
But, like, other people didn't.
I know. I. It was one of those things, like, I couldn't technically fight it if he had already made up his mind. but I explained that's what I did. And I even had to explain to his assistant technically, who's, like, finalizing whatever final paperwork I needed to do. I don't know what paperwork it was. but I remember, I mean, I cried to her because I Was like, oh my gosh, this is like terrible. This looks like firing like all this stuff. I was so, so worried. But I mean in reality I was just like the system allowed me to always do that and I updated it as the days like progressed. Whatever.
Like I just hadn't updated it that day.
Yeah. Ah, I just hadn't updated it at that point in time. So I don't know. That was, that was definitely like a lessons learned. I definitely wouldn't ever for time based slots like that. I was really conscious. I mean I didn't have any other type of job that was similar to that because then my next job out of college would have been a customer service job where you literally clocked in. There was no way to ever.
How did you work? How did you clock in for Olive Garden?
how, did I clock in for Olive Garden? I don't remember that one. Was only a semester though. Not even a semester.
Angela got a job at Marriott after graduating early from college
I just got a job with them so quick and they were so mad that when I told them I was gonna be leaving because it was just a few months, I don't know, I feel like I must have worked for them for six months though.
You were there for the summer, I know that much.
Yeah, now that I remember, I guess it would have been longer than six months. But because I graduated early, I think they expected me I would be there for like a whole year. But yeah, I was proud of that one. Walked in, hadn't given my resume, said hey, got a job. And then I got hired that day. That was nice. That was a good day. But anyway, yeah, that you.
I think that's how it happened with Marriott. When I first did my first interview, I think he said, wait here and we'll get one more interview. And then they offered me a job. But that was a, starting position of being a food runner. That quickly became being a server. But good old college days with my Marriott start. And then guys, I took that job for like 10 years and more and got so much experience from the, from Marriott. But that reminded me of actually with Marriott we got these new systems, I feel like to clock in where it was like a biometric system, you swipe a card and you put a finger or maybe you just put a, put a finger. I can't remember. they were so finicky and they were down all the time. And people could definitely mess with their hours very easily because all you had to do was like writing a time logbook and you had like six minutes of grace period to get to your. To get to the job and clock in. And I just remember that I had one time where I was late for a very good amount of time. I don't know how long it would have taken for my supervisor to actually take, me aside and be like, what's going on? But he took me aside, asked me what was going on because I had been late, and it was because I was basically at this time, commuting all the way to Justin, an hour away. All because my cat that I still have Tibs, was, like, dying.
Oh.
Ah, the Tib. So, like, his mom and me. Tibs also has so many medical issues, and he channels his mom. He is a problem child as well. And I just remember being, like, cry. Almost crying to my supervisor, and I was like, my cat's not doing well.
I remember that story.
And he literally was like, skin and bones, this cat. He was kitten at the time. He was probably, like, 4 lbs and he should have been, like, 8. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. And, we finally found out what was wrong with him. Gave him medication, and then he's obviously still around and kicking. And I love him to death, even though he's a problem trip child. But that was the only time that I really got talked to about time in and time out. But I did not immediately get fired. It's crazy that they just did it, like, one time based off of.
I know I didn't have a warning. That's what I think. made me upset about it.
And you were obviously trustworthy enough to be an ra.
I know. I know. I was really miffed by the whole situation. And like I said, I was emotional about it I was worried, like, that I was.
Gonna show up on, like.
Yeah.
Your record or something.
I don't know. I was. It was just one of those things. Fine. They were really severe with their punishment. I guess I deserved it. But. I don't know. Most things, I'm like, I had no warn. Like, like, no second chance. I guess when I had proven. I. I don't know.
When you were. Yeah, when you had proven it.
Proven who the heck I was. Yeah. With all these other things. So I don't know, but it probably was a hot commodity job. And just, like, I don't have to. I'll give somebody else a chance.
And you already have a job as an ra.
Yeah. Like, so I don't know, go have.
Some free time and have a life.
But let me tell you, like I said, if there was any timetable thing I was honest about it. After that, I, if I am late, I say I'm late, guys. Because, that happens a lot with me too.
Oh yes, Angela is known for being late. There are some good stories with that as well.
Another M time.
At the time in college I was majoring in event management
But since you brought in the job situation, that is what my last one, which is a real doozy. Well, I keep saying that, I keep saying that. But, I feel, I feel most bad about this one, I think.
Oh, really?
Yes. Because it was for a woman who had her own, company and it was in the event space which at the time in college I was majoring in event management. So, so I was trying to get a foot in anywhere. and I had a double major of hospitality, which is ultimately where I really went with Marriott. But, this had to be while I was serving and at Marriott. So in my free time I had asked her if there was anything that I could help with around town. And it was in the town that Justin was living and was from. And whenever I was down there I would try to meet up with her and help her out with stuff. And so there was one event that she was like putting on for college, students who, I can't remember exactly what it was. It was a class for event etiquette or something, maybe, I don't know. It was to teach college students about the event management space. And it wasn't a paid internship or anything, but I kind of considered it like a small internship. And she was like a one woman show and I had to promote this class. So she very specifically told me, do not put any sort of promotions on campus. we can, we have to find other ways and be creative. Creative, yes. So I used social media. I got a couple girls signed up from my, college courses and whatever. But I ended up taking like maybe 10. It wasn't the, it wasn't the whole stack, but it was like 10 flyers and I put them on people's cars. Because going to this college again, I never lived on campus and, or in a dorm. So I drove to school all the time and I always got promos things on my window, on my windshield wiper. And so I was like, people do it. So what's it going? Like, what's it going to hurt? But she very specifically told me not to and then I did. because it's like a college policy, I don't exactly know, I probably should have asked questions of like, why can't I put them on there? and I think A day later, I woke up to her very angry, saying that she got calls from the school and she had specifically told me not to. And again, terrible me lied and said I gave them to some friends. Maybe they put them on the cards. It's so easy to blame.
Blaming your friend.
It's so terrible way to put them.
All under the bus.
So bad. and yeah, she called me furious. Said that she had to like, talk to her lawyer and her lawyer. I don't even know if I apologized to her. I don't remember anything. We ended up getting the class, like, everything was fine. as far as I knew. We ended up doing the class with all the girls and whatever. And I think I only stopped by too, for like five minutes. I don't know. I did not take this as seriously as I probably should have if I really wanted to make an impact. I don't know if I really ended up owning up to her. And I just saw a little blur. It really is at this point maybe Justin knows because he was there when I got the phone call. I like woke up to this phone call of her being so angry.
Like live phone call or not a voicemail.
No. Yeah, I picked it up. I think she had called me three times or two times maybe, and she left a voicemail like, call me back. And then I told her that she could call me. Yeah. And then I got ripped into. And I can assure you that that's never happened again. And, I'm owning up to that now.
Um, sorry. So. And so.
Oh, man.
I put those flyers on those cars, but like 10 flyers and man.
And they still were like, notice. And I'm. I just want to know why it was initially that way where I couldn't put them on there. And then if that is a, like, campus policy, do all these other vendors, like DJs and stuff, that I would get flyers on my car, did they get in trouble and like, just didn't care. I just, I didn't know. But I know.
Or if it depended on the type of industry or thing getting promoted because there's so many potential factors. Honestly.
Yeah. And I don't think we ever talked about it again. And then we did that one event.
And then she fired you and no more internship for you.
I really, I think at that point I was like, I'm going to focus on Marriott. And I was trying to go for like a supervisor position and worked my way up there, which luckily worked out and found a great boss who hired me as a supervisor and Took me under his wing. And, yeah, never did anything like that. Stupid again. but I felt really bad about that one.
Yeah, because you definitely lied and you definitely did that.
yeah. I don't know why it's just so easy to blame the friends because they can't check with the friends. So.
Sorry, friends probably saw through you. You're not a great, great liar.
No, that's why it's, like, more so fun for me to just fib to Justin that I left my wallet at home when we're about to go out on a night out. But even then, he, no longer makes that fun. So I'm really trying to work on the fibbing. I'd have to ask Justin if he thinks I gotten any better.
I enjoy a good jump scare. And I've gotten Jake recently on a few
If anything, he's funny. He tried to fib on me the other day, I feel like. And I was like, nah, you're lying. He's like, yeah, because I can't lie.
I'm trying to think. I don't really do that to Jake. You do the fibbing. If anything, I really enjoy a good jump scare. And I've gotten Jake recently on a few.
Oh, yeah. In the escape room. You got him.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that one was good. I mean, he was just. The other day, he was in the office and his back was completely away from the door or, like, facing away from the door. And I felt so, so bad about the amount of times of jump scares that have gotten him lately that I just turned on the light so that I wouldn't scare him. Because I'm pretty sure at this point he feels like he wants to kick me and I can't. I gotta protect the baby in my belly at this point.
You're already getting kicked enough, I'm sure.
I know.
My boy is moving all. All sorts of ways every night.
We're all human and we make mistakes, and we should own them
No, but knowing that we were going to talk about stupid, dumb mistakes, I will leave it with this. Where I asked Jake, I was like, what? Stupid, like, mistakes? Do you even know that I've done Jake?
I can guarantee you Justin's heard all of mine.
So flashback to the prior episode. He mentioned something like, oh, something about making her eat poop.
And I was like, what?
No, not eating. So he said, no, but it was something with poop. So if you guys haven't heard the last episode, you can go back and listen to that one.
And that was Angela's doozy. Her thing was, like, making me do things. But we found out during that conversation that I've made you do things too.
Yeah, yeah. But, The other one that actually made me laugh, he was like, yeah, I know. What. What. What mistake you made? And it was when I went out with a guy for, like, nine years that was like, not really my childhood mistake, but, that's a good one.
I mean, I wouldn't really consider it a mistake. It was just more so your experience of life. I know. And you definitely learned certain things. I know, because I feel like every relationship, you learn things.
I know, but for Jake, he was like. To phrase it that way, that was. He's like, that was your mistake.
Like, you didn't meet me earlier.
True. You know, but here we are. Happy. Happy. And, well, after. After all of that, so.
Oh, yes.
So as I said. As I said, we're all human and we make mistakes, and we should really try to own up to them. So, you know, I'm sorry for things that I've done, but I don't think I've done those things again.
Yeah, same. The ones that really made me feel guilty or bad about. I've really, you know, makes you think twice.
Yeah.
And let us know what stupid things you've done if you dare to enter the conversation.
Yeah. Totally encourage you to put that in permanent. comments on the socials.
Oh, yes.
But thanks for listening, guys.
Until next time. We'll see you next time. Bye. Bye.
