Deb had an event with her new partner, Mighty Swell, this weekend and had to journey all the way down to the outskirts of town to the Circle C Ranch H-E-B. The H-E-B was so far south, she almost got lost in the wilderness of suburbia, but she made it. Although, something was off-putting.
First, she and producer Nick did the math and determined you could fit six other H-E-Bs into that mega-H-E-B location. But, the thing that was most foreign to Deb was the amount of actual “grownups” grocery shopping. At Deb’s local H-E-B, she mostly sees students in pajamas and flip flops, so it was odd seeing adults, and even parents with their kids shopping around with full carts.
Jason said he sticks to the head-down, earbuds-in method so he would never notice. Hopefully Deb learned her lesson that odd, or normal things just happen when she steps outside the city bubble.
QUIEN ES MAS MACHO
Every Monday we test Jason’s manliness by comparing his weekend to a listener’s. Today’s listener was Griselda, and she did some welder-type things to make flower jewelry, but let’s just sum it up as there was a lot of torching going on.
Jason had a choice to attend a bachelorette party on Friday, but instead decided to Netflix, chill and cook himself a three-course steak, shrimp and ramen meal. On Saturday, he watched some college football at Twin Peaks and ended the weekend with an Oktoberfest party.
Deb had time to ask her deciding questions, and Griselda made lots of fire, but didn’t play any sports. Jason didn’t get any “booty”, but that was none of our business and he also didn’t get into any fights.
Today’s decision was down to a listener, and he decided he was going to vote for Griselda because he is pretty sure he knows her. Griselda took today’s win, so she is mas macho.
I LOVE YOU CALL
Today we called RnR Record Shop in Orlando, Florida to see if Deb could persuade them to say “I Love You”. Jason requested Deb to ask for Korn’s ‘Follow The Leader’ on tape, so she started off the conversation by asking if they even still sold cassette tapes. RnR Record Shop said they didn’t have any cassette tapes, but the employee and Deb got into a discussion about where to buy cassette tapes after she explained it was to teach her “kids”.
After two tries and a nostalgic conversation about how to record cassettes, RnR Record Shop said “I Love You” too, and even after years, that one made Deb blush.
