• One host's dad faked a nut allergy for years and convinced her she was allergic too
• Debating whether to come clean about long-term lies or find a graceful exit strategy
• Personal confession about a prank call to a new boyfriend and the ongoing cover-up
• Story of a college prank war involving laxative cookies, ramen noodles in bathroom fixtures, and car vandalism

• Tip: bring your own Tylenol and ibuprofen to the hospital to avoid $90 per pill charges
Bring your own pain relievers to the hospital when you have kids! They will charge you up to $90 per pill, and you can negotiate down to maybe $50 per pill. Just bring Tylenol, ibuprofen, and stool softener with you.
All right, so today we're going to do, we're going to read some stories from the confessions or Reddit thread that Lolly found.
Speaker 2:So Rissa found I go by many names, many names. Okay, here's a confession. I've been faking an allergy for years and now it's gone way too far. That's how it starts. My dad has done that. No way. Maybe this is your dad. It might be All right all right.
Speaker 1:So chris's dad said um, I hope it's like a super feminine thing, because it's gonna make this funnier, since I didn't elaborate.
Speaker 2:Okay, this started as a dumb excuse and now I'm in too deep. Years ago I went on a date with a girl who was obsessed with peanut butter. She kept pushing me to try her peanut butter smoothie, even after I said I wasn't in the mood. Instead of just saying no, I blurted out oh, I can't, I'm allergic. Big mistake. She was super concerned, asked a million questions and I figured whatever, I'd never see her again. But then she introduced me to her friend group and they all knew about my allergy. At that point, correcting it felt too awkward. Fast forward six years. He married her. No, that's what I was expecting to read too, but I'm still friends with these people.
Speaker 2:My allergy is a known fact. They warn restaurants for me. They check ingredients. One of them even threw out a peanut butter cake someone brought to a party, just to be safe. The worst part I love peanut butter. I eat it in secret. I have a stash at work. Once my best friend said man, it sucks, not knowing what a Reese's tastes like, and I just nodded solemnly that's his best friend. How do you not confide in your best friend? I'm like hey, actually this isn't true. First, six years, he needs to change his name and move Start fresh dude. Now my girlfriend, who also believes I'm allergic, wants us to move in together and she's super cautious about food. I'm terrified she'll find my peanut butter stash and think I've been lying to her. You have which I have for years. She'll find my peanut butter stash and think I've been lying to her. You have which I have for years. I have no idea how to get out of this. Do I fake a miracle recovery, a medical misdiagnosis, or do I just keep the lie going forever?
Speaker 1:okay, I actually haven't the answer to this because I saw someone doing this on tiktok but I think how, I did not know this.
Speaker 2:Was that common not?
Speaker 1:this specifically. But this person actually had an allergy I think it was to carrots or something and they decided to like, have an itty bitty piece every day and just kind of grow in portions.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, like it's like an exposure therapy yeah yeah, I've heard of people doing that.
Speaker 1:I also saw someone saying that I think they got laid off and they couldn't afford. They either couldn't afford health care or, like they, their health insurance was denying their claims for this medication they needed for allergies, and so they were using a credit card on their windshield to grab, like the poland or whatever I don't know. You have options it was coke the whole time, it might have been but don't people like go out of allergies all the time though?
Speaker 1:is that like a thing? Yeah, I think it. I think it depends on how. It depends on how the he built this lie, because if you have an allergy that like get, I don't know, like gives you rashes or something, it depends on how bad your allergy is. Like, my dad truly is deathly allergic to seafood like lobsters and stuff.
Speaker 1:He can't even go near it. If he's like near it, he'll get rashes. If he eats it, he'll like his throat will close up. He needs like I don't think he carries around an EpiPen or anything, but he should. He has, like a necklace or whatever that says that he's allergic to that and another medication. Yeah, he has lied for years, though, about being allergic to nuts because he doesn't like he, just doesn't like him.
Speaker 1:It started when we were young. There was like this at outback there was this um dessert. I don't even know if they had it here, but they had it in brazil called oblivion. It was actually really good um, never heard of her.
Speaker 1:I don't really know what was in it. There were like these pieces of fruit or something and like a drizzle of chocolate, all these different things. It was really, really yummy, but it came with nuts so he didn't like him with that, so he would always ask for it without it, um, but then sometimes they would forget. So he just started saying he was allergic to it and it just spread, it was a thing. And then he told me that I was allergic to it, so I thought I was and he's just.
Speaker 2:His hatred for nuts is so bad he he gaslit his own daughter enough, so that, at like, I think I was 16, I don't know.
Speaker 1:But, um, I was at school and one of my friends called my mom so my mom would bring a cake, so they could do like a surprise thing for me at the cafeteria, which was really nice. Um, I think my friend called and ordered the cake and my mom just picked it up and brought it because we couldn't I don't know, they wouldn't let us leave because we're I don't know, in Brazil, if you're under 18, you can't leave the school and you can't drive, so it doesn't really matter so you need your parents anyway.
Speaker 1:So yeah, my mom brought the cake to the school, my friend got it together, put in the cafeteria, brought some people, had someone come and get me to get something from the cafeteria. Everyone was there who said happy birthday. It was really nice. And then we ate the cake and I ate it and I noticed it was like a little crunchy and different pieces, but it was like a chocolate cake whatever afterwards my friend we were talking or I can't remember how I think she looked at the label or something and she's like this is nuts, you're nuts.
Speaker 1:And I'm like so I was like freaking out and I thought I was having like symptoms or something. I'm like, oh my gosh, my tongue feels numb, like it was this whole thing. And then I came home and I told my mom and she's like oh my gosh, but you're feeling fine, yeah. And then I'm talking to my dad and he's like you're not allergic to nuts. And I'm like what? And he's like, yeah, and I was like, but you are. And he said that I was. And he's like I'm not allergic to nuts. And I'm like what is happening?
Speaker 2:My whole world is falling apart. I'm like who am I?
Speaker 1:What is going on? I had one identity no, that was it. And like everyone in my life knew that I was allergic to nuts I mean not in my life, but like at school, because we ate like three meals together, yeah. And so, like everyone, actually I was lying. Yeah, I don't even know. I mean, at least in my case, that was like my dad lied to me. You're the victim I'm fine maybe he can say someone lied to him. I don't know.
Speaker 1:He's like actually exposure therapy or say someone lied on your behalf and I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or like try some peanut butter and just be like, oh my gosh, I'm cured or say like you thought it was peanut butter, but it was another kind of nut that you're allergic to well, but the one that he doesn't like live a different life like you're just, yeah, replacing it, but yeah, maybe that I guess what, like everybody said, was just like claim misdiagnosis, which I guess yeah, and would you ever suggest that he just comes clean, the like hey, I just told a lie and I took it too far. No, you've dug yourself too deep because listen and maybe this is true.
Speaker 1:Maybe you should warn your friends. But if you're lying about anything for this long, it looks real bad it does here.
Speaker 2:Here's, if you ever I'm all about like I, I love the truth. I think it's the best policy not here, but you gotta play your cards, right? You know, when you've gone this far here, here's what I suggest you. You, like you slowly come out of it, right? You say it was a misdiagnosis or whatever. Like you're cured and you don't have this allergy anymore. You kind of build on the lie but kind of backtracking on it, right, so now you don't have this peanut allergy anymore. Give it another six years and then when you feel like everybody can laugh about it, you're like, yeah, well, people are still talking about it. I guess they just be like, yeah, I am, I was never allergic, haha, lol. Or like, if it ever comes up like what is? Like you're playing one of those games. That's like what is a lie that you've told for too long? You know, yeah, wait for like a truth or dare moment, which hopefully you're not playing if you're like in your 30s, but I'm just kidding you can play that.
Speaker 1:I forgot how old we are. I'm like I still play not in your 30s.
Speaker 2:No, no, no. I have three more years. Don't take them from me oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Um, it's hilarious, though that's a. I mean you don't have to tell the truth, I guess, because you probably wouldn't have. You ever lied about anything like that for like or anything that lasted years um, I don't think so.
Speaker 2:I don't think I've ever. There is like, when I think of like a, there is a one lie that I'm ashamed of, that I've, that I've told somebody very close to me and but it was like it's not anything that like affects my life. Okay, fine, I'll tell you it was my arm. Um, love it.
Speaker 2:Okay, so we'll just block whoever it is well, it's my boyfriend and I don't let him listen to this podcast anyway. So listen to me. Well, it's my boyfriend and I don't let him listen to this podcast anyway. So okay, um, they're like, it's nothing that really affects our relationship in any way, but it was like one of the first weeks, like it was very early on in our and when we started going out on dates and I I'm so embarrassed one of my friends, prank, called him and it just like that prank call kind of like went too far and it was so you just scammed him out of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2:He doesn't know it's me. He thinks it was some prince of egypt or something. It's brad pitt, which, for his image, I don't think it makes it any better. Um no, so he, my friend prank, called him and I like I was there with her and she like, um, it was one of those things that you don't really think through it. But like halfway through you're like why are we even doing this? But like we had dug ourselves into such a deep hole at that point that we're like I don't know how to like get out of this.
Speaker 1:I used to think of Vikram and friends, the fake boyfriend that Ross comes up with that Phoebe had, she never had a long-term relationship. Yeah, sorry, anyway. No, yeah, I really want to know. I just keep thinking so.
Speaker 2:So he, um, so he, like after that day, like a few days after that, I had mentioned that me and that friend had had a sleepover, yeah, and he kind of connected the dots. Which props to him, because I did not think he would connect anything. But he's actually really smart.
Speaker 2:I don't know what, yeah anyway, I feel like I had to say that, but he is anyway. But then he's like, he's like um, I have to ask you something. And I was like, oh, I was like please be anything else. But then he was like was it you did? Were you the one that called me that night? And I was like what, what are you talking about? Completely lied my way out of that. He was just like no, like you, like you, like I, he's. I kind of made him feel bad because I was like why would you think that, like, I trust you, and he's just like no, yeah, like I, I, some girls like I feel like might do something like that, but no, like if it wasn't you, okay, that's like, he was super sweet about it. And then what did you say in the prank call? It was just it was um.
Speaker 2:So my friend pretended to be somebody that he met at a party and just like he, on the phone, he was like I, I don't know who you are, yeah. And then, and she was like no, like we talked about this and that and all this stuff. And he was just like I don't, I don't know what you're talking about. And she just kept going with it and he's, and so like to the point of him being like, oh, yeah, okay, like I, really I don't remember this, but okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:And and she was just like well, do you want to come and hang out? Like did this whole thing? And he's just like, um, not like yeah, sure, like I'll come hang out, uh, like I remind me your name, like I don't remember any of this anyway, yeah, so so when he was asking me, he was just, was, just like I did you do this to see, like if I would go out with somebody else, which, to be fair, that was like never my intention, it was just a prank call that went wrong. Like so I wasn't, she was supposed to be like a pizza delivery driver, or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was just like this thing that just got way out of hand, so like I never had any of those intentions and and I knew how like, if I admitted to it, it would have sounded. I mean I'm embarrassed to even admit it now that I was a part of that and I'm way too old for that talking. No, I wasn't but I was there, that's fine anyway.
Speaker 2:So I just completely lied about it and I was like I would never do that and he believed me and we are still dating. So that's good. Sometimes Should we prank, call him now.
Speaker 1:Do the same thing If he brings it up. If he ever finds out, just say at least I didn't scam you out of a bunch of money there you go.
Speaker 2:This could have been so much, would have been so much worse, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was just like him. I feel like that was like the worst thing I've ever done in a relationship. I think you're really guilty it. I'm like, it's embarrassing and I'm so ashamed.
Speaker 1:I feel like it's totally understandable, though. Because, like you, were kind of embarrassed about it, you didn't want to say that Well, it's not understandable that I did it in the first place? Yeah, but you didn't do it. Your friend did yeah, but I didn't stop her. Yeah, but I mean, I know I didn't stop her, yeah, but Anyway that's a good one. I really hope he doesn't hear this.
Speaker 2:He won't, he's not allowed to, it's fine. Yeah, it's true. And if he does, then I'll be disappointed because I told him he can't hear. I'll just turn it around on him Reverse, yeah, uno. Reverse. Like what were you doing listening to the podcast? I know.
Speaker 1:A hundred percent. I'm trying to think if I have one, I have one. I'm trying to think, if I have a relationship, one, I don't think I do. I need to start keeping more secrets or keep lies or something, get things a little spicy. But I do have one lie that I I don't know this is. No one's going to listen to this. It's fine, it's not that bad, but okay.
Speaker 1:We it's a good thing when we can rely on the fact nobody listens to this. It's fine. It's fine, and if anyone does, they're our friends and they already like us, so they'll get over it. It's fine anyway. Um, I don't even know how to tell this. I'm gonna sound like such an asshole.
Speaker 2:Um at least better than the pathetic girl who pranked a boy when she's like 26 okay, okay, I didn't know, so I think that makes it okay um anyway, whatever sense card, we love it I'm not pleading um, anyway.
Speaker 1:Okay, so we started a prank war with some guys in our apartment complex, dorm, whatever, in college, anyway. So we had these friends. I can't remember how it started. I think they pranked my roommate first and they put like baby oil and like Oreos and Sram Wrap on her car or something. I think that's how it started, not sure. Anyway, so they hit her or maybe we got them first.
Speaker 1:At some point we put tampons in their like suits, so whenever they were at church they would think they have like pens, but they were tampons, I don't know Whatever. And then, but whatever, it escalated to some point they pranked her car, would think they have like pens, but they were tampons, I don't know whatever. And then, but whatever, it escalated to some point they pranked her car. So then we decided to prank them. So we bought like diapers and put nutella on them and like, put it all over their car. And then we grabbed kool-aid and tampons and we like dyed them red and put it all over the car and I think we wrote vagina on their car I don't know might have happened anyway.
Speaker 1:Okay, so we hit them and I I had a crush on this guy who was our friend but, like everyone had had a thing with him, he was a. He was like not a hoe, but he was kind of, you know, a little player, yeah, and he was like a five or six. I don't know he, he was nice though anyway, whatever so.
Speaker 1:I was like friends with him. We would kind of like flirt sometimes and I was kind of into it and anyway. So I can't remember how it got to this point, but he was saying that he wanted to prank my roommates but he would spare me.
Speaker 2:He was trying to build a little alliance here yeah, like a little secret.
Speaker 1:It was kind of flirty so I was like, okay, I hope I'm right about this. It's kind of bad. I also didn't know what he was gonna do okay, I'm so curious it's like borderline illegal.
Speaker 1:But I didn't do it anyway, it wasn't me, whatever. So we were like texting you, whatever. And he's like yeah, like would you help me? And I was like as long as it's not anything bad, and he's like okay, but like whatever. It was like as long as it's not anything bad and he's like okay, but like whatever. It was like this flirty thing, whatever. Anyway, so we, he invites us to his house one night and it's like it's like his parents' house. They had like a really nice house and, um, I can't remember I think we were going to watch a movie or I can't remember what we were gonna do there, but we went to his place. As soon as we get there, like he pulls me aside and it was kind of like this flirty thing. But he pulls me aside and he's like just follow my lead, don't eat the cookies. And I was like what? And he's like just like follow my lead. And I'm like okay, and I was just so like confused.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh yeah it's bad he felt laxatives in the cookie. Yeah, his mom did I know.
Speaker 1:So we hang out and then he brings like cookies around and he offers me some and he just looks at me and I'm like I'm okay, and he passes them around and I thought they were just gonna taste bad or something. And I saw everyone eating them. Some of them were eating a lot of them and I was like weird. And then he comes back around again with more cookies, but then this time he like winks at me and he like nods, and so I like go to take one, and he's, and so I take one and I eat a cookie and it tasted fine and whatever. I didn't think much of it.
Speaker 1:And then we hang out like for most of the night and then, after we're done, he they all kind of decided they want to go to McDonald's. And I'm like, okay, cool, meet you guys there. We were driving separate cars, there were a lot of us. So, um, as I'm leaving or whatever, he texts me and he says, hey, we're gonna be late for McDonald's, but just stall for us. And I'm like what are you doing?
Speaker 1:And he's like he like didn't tell me. He was basically like I didn't just need you to stall for a little bit, we, we need to go do something, but they're going to get mad at us if we're late, but just tell them that I'm saying that I'm coming and I'm like, okay, whatever we go to the McDonald's, we're waiting for them, they're taking forever. We finally just eat and then I can't remember if they ever showed up or not. Now that, now that I think about it, they either did or didn't, and then we left mcdonald's and went home. We get home, we turn on the lights and then the lights don't come on and we're like that's weird and did I tell you this no, but did they do something where, like you, couldn't use the toilet?
Speaker 1:okay, that is evil I just made the connection that that's why, anyway, whatever we get there, we're all laying on, like in the living room, only a couple lights are turning on. We don't? We like don't think much of it, we're like we need to change the light bulbs or something. One of our roommates goes to the bathroom and she like flushes, does the whole thing, and then I can't remember exactly how we realized this. I think we were going to our rooms and like there weren't.
Speaker 1:This is kind of hard to explain it, but we like had two bathrooms. There wasn't a door to the first room that had just had the sinks, there was just a door to like where the toilet and the bath was Um, and so I walked past and I look at the first bathroom sinks and they're full to the top and there's something in there and I'm like what is happening? So I grab, like, the flashlight on my phone because the lights aren't working and there's ramen noodles in the sinks cooking. There's like warm water to the top and there's just like soggy noodles and I'm like what the heck?
Speaker 2:this is is like criminal, like mastermind I know Scary.
Speaker 1:I go into the bathroom my roommate didn't notice this when she went to the bathroom, but I guess she didn't wash her hands because she didn't notice. But I go into the bathroom and there's ramen noodles in the toilet there's ramen, the bathtub is full and there's ramen noodles there. And I'm like bathtub is full and there's ramen noodles there and I'm like what the hell? And so I go into the kitchen to grab some like garbage bags or something so we can scoop it out, because, like you can't drain it and the sink is full of water and has ramen noodles cooking there. And then there's this, these like packets of like shrimp flavored whatever for the noodles. Some of it is in the sinks and in the bath and wherever, some of it is like kind of on the floor and anyway, so yeah.
Speaker 1:So then we realized that, yeah, they pranked us, they took our light bulb so we couldn't see. And then we ended up finding them in the closet, in like a bin or something later and they were cooking ramen noodles everywhere. And then, anyway, I guess to finish the night, we grabbed garbage bags, we filled it up with the ramen noodles and all the things. We cleaned it out. Like I got pranked there too, because it was my bathroom too in my apartment, so I had to help clean and do all the things, and you helped with that I know, I didn't know that's what they were gonna do um, and I had forgotten about the cookies at this point completely, because I was like that was probably not the prank.
Speaker 1:He probably wanted me to think that that was the prank. So then they could do this. Whatever we filled the tub or the bags with the ramen noodles, we take him to the parking lot and we're gonna take it to like the dumpster. But then we were like, screw him, we're gonna find his car, his little, precious little baby car, and we're gonna cover it in this shiz, because screw him.
Speaker 1:And so we waited, we were hiding, so he moved his car from where he would normally park to like the end of the parking lot. So we were hiding and then we saw him pull in park in a different spot. We waited for him to leave. We go over there, cover his car in like all the ramen noodles, we grab the rest of the packets and we're just like popping them open and putting it everywhere. Um, anyway, so I think that night later, that night or that next morning, he realized what we did and he was pissed because he was like this little rich kid and like he, it was his car and it was a nice car, I don't remember what kind of car.
Speaker 2:It was After what he just did. I know he has like no room to be mad. It gets worse.
Speaker 1:So I go to school the next day and as I'm, I think I was going to class or I was coming back from class. I have like the roommate group chat and everyone is like does anyone else have explosive diarrhea?
Speaker 1:And one of those last ones took a long time to kick in, but they did. They did. I mean, I was fine because I guess mine didn't have anything, anything. And then I lied and I said that I did also have diarrhea because I, like you know, I was the only one and also, it's like it, I took it too far accidentally, because I didn't know he was gonna do that I thought they were gonna I thought he had put like toothpaste on the thing and they would spit it out in the moment.
Speaker 1:I don't know he was gonna put laxatives in there and I didn't know he was gonna prank my apartment because he said it wasn't gonna affect me anyway whatever.
Speaker 2:So you never forget the first time a man lies to you you never do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, anyway, I had a couple of roommates that worked at the same boutique at the mall and they didn't have the same shift. But one of them was at the shift and she's like I'm working alone, I can't close, I'm going to shit my pants and so the other one had to come in.
Speaker 2:They had to keep taking turns, that's nice that they at least had like she had somebody to call.
Speaker 1:I know Some of the other roommates did not. They just had to go to work and they had to go to work and they had the. They were just anyway. So to this day I I still hang out with the girls and I don't hang out with the guy anymore. I haven't like talked to him in years. We're not friends, we haven't been friends in a long time.
Speaker 2:That is like not on you at all, though okay, thank you.
Speaker 1:You have no idea. I feel so bad about it because it was like because I, I was like flirting and I should have just said like no, and because guilty by association, my friends you know and I was, because I was kind of like it's gonna be like a silly little prank or whatever and it's gonna be like this flirty thing and like yeah, I don't know, I don't know and yeah, but his mom was it on it later I found out.
Speaker 1:I thought he made the cookies, his mom I don't know, I don't know, and yeah, but his mom was it on it. Later I found out I thought he made the cookies, his mom I don't know, and that was before she found out what we did to her son's car. So I thought we were gonna escalate and then we kind of stopped there because someone was gonna well, he gets his deviousness from somebody.
Speaker 2:yeah, his, his lack of limit from somebody. I know.
Speaker 1:Okay, but what-? Also, imagine that woman is a mother-in-law.
Speaker 2:I'm glad it didn't work out, conspiring with her son. Imagine Okay, what do you think would be worse? Somebody giving you something with laxatives that you're not aware of? Or like with weed?
Speaker 1:oh, depends on what I have going on the next day. Same answer for both things. I do want to say one thing, though this is unrelated um, my dad lied to me about being allergic to nuts, right, uh-huh, but he forgot to tell me that I'm lactose intolerant did I tell you that?
Speaker 2:did he know?
Speaker 1:he knew and he didn't tell you, they had to give me like goat milk when I was young because it was so bad, and then at some point they like forgot, and so I just never really. Sometimes they would make me drink milk, um, like in the morning and stuff, and I just never. I just thought I didn't like it, um, and I thought I didn't like ice cream and all these different things, because, and I always felt kind of sick after. And then, like recently, I was talking to a friend and she's like oh, like, why don't you take like these lactates or whatever that probably will help? And so I did, and then I was able to eat things and feel okay later. And so I was talking to my parents about it and I'm like, yeah, I started taking this thing. I think I might be lactose intolerant. And they were like, oh yeah, you are.
Speaker 2:They're like we've known this whole time, god, like no one told me.
Speaker 1:So it's just like this ongoing joke for them years ago, the whole like putting laxatives in my food. If it had been like milk, I wouldn't have known, it would have been the same experience. But yeah, I don't know. I feel like I've never done weed, so that maybe would be interesting, and it's supposed to help you sleep or something too. So like, if it, I'm okay with that, but laxatives I don't know. It depends on how much of it and whether I'm constipated at the moment or not, because if I am, thank you. If I'm not, then like screw you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I honestly like I feel like I mean, we grew up thinking that like weed was as bad as like killing somebody, right, but A lot of things were as bad as that. And not that I'm like a huge like advocate of weed at all, but when it comes to like either being like drugged with laxatives or with weed, I I don't know which one's worse.
Speaker 1:Yeah, as long as like I don't either way. Again, same answer for both, as long as I don't have to drive anywhere, because driving when you got a heavy butthole situation sucks it does, and if you're on weed like, that's just you can't yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. So if you know that you're gonna be home, weed a hundred percent yeah, right, like I think I would take weed over laxatives yeah, I mean, I don't think I've been like relaxed a single day of my life. Maybe I need weight.
Speaker 2:I feel like I have like too much of a moral compass for this, but I've always thought it'd be so like my. It'd be so interesting to me to do that to my parents. Just see how that goes.
Speaker 1:Like I would never, but I know, make some brownies and it is funny, though, because, like growing up like super conservative, like our parents don't drink, they don't do drugs so like. I wonder what that's like having parents who do drink sometimes and like their own tea, that would come up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've, I've my oldest brother has said that so many times. He's like I could just like it would be so fun if, like, our whole family just sat back and cracked open a bottle of wine and just got like to talking about real stuff. And I was like I don't know if we want that, we're so happy like let's, let's all do the pot so hard to pretend we're happy?
Speaker 1:yeah, it's hard enough setting boundaries with my parents like let's, let's like, not rock the boat too much let's keep things surface level, please. That's hilarious. I mean, yeah, that would be funny just to see how they do on that yeah but you just know that their like existential crisis would just be too intense. Oh, you could never tell them.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, ever yeah I don't know what happened. I know, oh they was. They probably came like that. You like pretend you read. Read on the like the label, like oh my gosh, these are pot brownies. We didn't even know.
Speaker 1:I saw this thing um, I don't even know fully what they are, josh, just he didn't get the weight ones, let me clarify at costco. But they're like these little cone thingies. I think they called mud something, I don't know but I saw someone on tiktok saying that they bought something like that and they thought it was just which. I don't even know how you get this confused, because you can't just buy weed anywhere, but they bought this thing. It depends on where you're at oh, I guess that's true.
Speaker 2:Like colorado, I don't actually. I don't know how the laws are, but I would imagine that you would know.
Speaker 1:They probably have to make it very clear, right.
Speaker 2:Wait, I actually know exactly what you're talking about. There are these like little cones. I've seen advertisements for this. There are these like little cones that are like infused, like edible little cones or whatever, and I saw this little person.
Speaker 1:This little person. You can't say that. That is not what I was trying to say. I saw that this person had these little things and, um, they had a bunch of them and they didn't know that it was weed or they didn't know how much weed was in it, and their eyes were like like red I think it was an ad that you didn't realize it was an ad oh, it got me. I was like joshua didn to buy these things at costco and I'm like, well, we should double check.
Speaker 2:I mean, I think that I've seen those on tiktok.
Speaker 1:They're like um, usually like paid promotions and stuff, um, but yeah, they like look like these little cone things and yeah could be good, I don't know, I've never done it but, honestly, I was talking to a friend about it and she said that there's these um gummies or whatever um that you can take for like chronic pain and things. And ever since having kids, I get like sciatica pains pretty bad, yeah, and it depends on, like, what I've been doing and things. But if I'm like being more active or even if I'm not, sometimes they'll pull like on one side or the other at night, and so maybe that would be nice. I don't know, um, but I don't know if I can take them. Actually, is there like physical therapy for that?
Speaker 1:yeah, but it doesn't like fix it I mean, I have exercises that I do for that, um, but it like it's still there it's just kind of random, I don't know if it's something I don't know.
Speaker 1:They say it's not like the epidural, but mine. They did have to do it several times and then they, I don't know, I didn't move, at least on the first one, because whatever, like you're not supposed to move when they like do the shot or whatever, but it like sends a shock down one of your legs so like how do you not move Anyway? So like they might have hit something, or maybe it's just like how I carried the weight or something, or something shifted and it's like pinching a nerve or something.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but that sucks, though that sounds painful, something shifted and it's like pinching a nerve or something. I don't know, but that sucks, though that sounds painful. Yeah, but I mean it's really hard to get any like pain management stuff here in brazil. It's so much easier because they just like actually recommend things together. There's no laws down there. Well that. But also like I feel like they actually like care more because they make sure you don't leave it pain. I gave birth to humans and they gave me a like a motrin. They gave me like two pills of ibuprofen, yeah, after pushing humans out and getting stitches down there and I had to be like I am in so much pain because I was, and like you have to pee and poop and do all these things before they let you leave and they ended up giving me like oxy.
Speaker 2:But even that day I feel like didn't do much, yeah but a man can't get a vasectomy without getting all kinds of I know medication so rude.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I literally was like are you joking? When they handed me like ibuprofen, I was like, like I just gave birth, like this epidural like only half worked and it's going to wear off. Give me your best cocktail. Oh my God, give me all the drugs.
Speaker 2:Mix it all I know, give it to me Crazy.
Speaker 1:They literally were like well, would you like some Tylenol with that too? I'm like B are with that too.
Speaker 2:I'm like b. Are you joking? Is it like 10? Like, is it a lot? It's the whole bottle also is it tylenol mixed with morphine.
Speaker 1:Seriously, one thing I'll say. This is warning for people, the one person listening and also you, for whenever you have your kids, bring your own tylenol and your own ibuprofen to the hospital when you have kids. Really why? Because they will charge you 90 per pill no way, had to like negotiate them down to charge me like 50 per pill instead. I swear it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the health system is just literally they're like well, it's just what it costs and like how does it make any sense? So the second time around I brought my own and they were kind of frustrated by that. But I was like just tell me when to take it and I'll take it.
Speaker 2:You can see that these are the bottles yeah of tylenol and ibuprofen yeah, I feel like it's so weird to me like even watching hospital like shows. It's like doctors just want to make so many decisions for you, where it's like and I don't mean that as any like kind of disrespect, because doctors I feel like, for the most part, do know more than us yeah, but at some point I feel like there needs to be some sort of respect for the autonomy of yeah like informed consent.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like they.
Speaker 2:The whole thing with health care is a whole other conversation but yeah definitely like, if they're gonna give you anything and it's gonna cost so much, they should tell you like, bring your own yeah, there needs to be like a menu of like this is the treatment you're gonna get, this is how much it's gonna cost, like each thing, but anyway, yeah, that's a whole other can of worms yeah, tylenol, ibuprofen, stool Softener bring those with you all right, you heard it here first. Folks just saying um, okay, well, that went from reading confessions to confessing ourselves that was a mistake.
Speaker 1:Next time we won't do that.
Speaker 2:All right, this stays between us. All right, bye. I can't see to turn it off. There it is.
