In this episode, Dave and Reese dive into a Florida-themed “Would You Rather?” game featuring everything from suspicious gators named Carl to crab shacks without AC.
You'll hear about Reese's girls' trip to Florida including lizard sightings, lost flip-flops, and the power of a perfectly curated poolside routine.
Plus, we debate the real MVP of Florida cuisine (Publix subs? Really?) and reflect on the proper use of ChatGPT in school and life.
This one’s got laughs, a little ranting, and a whole lot of Carl. Wait, who's Carl? You'll have to listen to find out!

Dave: [00:00:00] This is Dave.
Reese: This is Reese,
Dave: and this is Manic Joy, a podcast about
Reese: life,
Dave: love,
Dave & Reese: and UNC uncertainty.
Intro Music: We do it.
Dave: Fucking, yeah. Reese.
Reese: Wait, I'm taking a note.
Dave: Oh, hold on everyone. Is it? Is it uh, no. Oh, no. Is that the note? No. No.
Reese: Let's, Let's end on a high note and. Sorry for whoever's eardrums. We just,
Dave: so, So the best was if you had a visual on that instead of, 'cause she's got the headphones on. Instead of putting her a hand to her ear, she put it to her jowl and it was quite attractive.
That's cool. That's one sexy jowl. Cool. You got there Reese.
Reese: Oh, I love that. You're pointing out my jowls, [00:01:00] I'm feeling.
Dave: Real
Reese: grape.
Dave: Remember when you had a jowl movement earlier? Remember? Remember when I
Reese: have to, oh my God, I cannot drink this drink fast enough right now.
Dave: Reese, I've missed you.
Reese: You have not.
Dave: I have.
Reese: Oh
Dave: good.
Reese: It tingles. Oh
Dave: yeah, that's right. That was good. Put a little something special in there.
Reese: Did you use the special stir again? It's not funny.
Dave: Wow. I
Reese: wonder what that could be. I'm gonna use my S swizzle stick. Wowza. Ew. Wowza. I need more.
Dave: So we have not,
Reese: it's been like two weeks. Been on
Dave: the microphones for a while. I know. It's been too long. Yeah. I miss you.
Reese: Hi. Hi. Hello.
Dave: Hello. Because again, we don't talk to each other at all. No, we never, unless there's a microphone.
Reese: Yes. It's the only way that we communicate. So
Dave: speaking of microphones. I take offense to this whole trend right now with the mini microphones and people [00:02:00] holding them.
Reese: It's so weird. It's very weird. I
Dave: guess it's funny, but I'm also like, really? I don't know.
Reese: I don't know. It's the new thing.
Dave: It's, so it's one of those things that, it's the new things that ruin, like the real things that you're supposed to do.
Meaning for example, like chat, GPT and you can't use a an m dash anymore because like signs that you are. Post was written by Chad, GPT. If you use an M dash,
Reese: Let me, or you say
Dave: this phrase. It's
Reese: funny that you just brought that up 'cause I made a note because I just read something before we started doing this, I guess apparently.
Dave: Oh, apparently
Reese: a student. I have to, I don't remember what college it was. But this was in the Daily Mail. Just
Dave: make it up.
Reese: But too bet it wasn't a Florida News, a college student. Is suing the school because she found out that her professor,
Dave: I heard that was using chat PT to do something.
Reese: Created the whole class with the chat GPT. And so I went straight to the comments 'cause I wanna see like what people have to say about it. And a majority [00:03:00] of the people in the comments agree with a student.
Dave: I mean, it's, It's, you got a fair, valid argument. If it's a valid, it's a valid if it's a valid argument.
Right?
Reese: The thing is, if it's an online class. I don't think she has a case if it's an online class.
Dave: No, you're paying. So she could have paid $20 and said the same exact thing.
Reese: So then she should have done that. But that's what I'm saying. Saying 'cause the internet is free.
Dave: That's what I'm saying.
Reese: What I'm saying is if you are.
If it's a face-to-face class and it's all chat GPT stuff, that's whack.
Dave: Totally. Yeah.
Reese: If it's online and it helps the teacher efficiently create the course,
Dave: yeah. I'm all for it.
Reese: Okay.
Dave: But also,
Reese: but the information, as long as the information is factual and the student is learning something and it's a curated course.
Dave & Reese: Yeah. As long as there's then shut up. As long ass, if there's a face to face actual teaching
Dave: going on. But
Reese: what. Where I get my panties in a twist.
Dave: Yeah, you do.
Reese: Is I just finished grading [00:04:00] two separate online public speaking courses, and for the most part, they have to send in videos. And for the most part, I think they wrote some of it.
I do have. Riddled everywhere. On the black we, I use Blackboard and that's how I interact with the students. Some schools use Canvas. We use Blackboard, but I put everywhere. If you, I know you're going to use Chat, GPT, you have to cite it as a source. Yeah, just cite, just tell me. I used it and it will be fine.
I would say. A majority of my students for their final, it wasn't a video, they didn't have to present a video. It was I want you to pick a time period in history or create something in the future and write a speech, talk about what the speech is about, why you are giving the speech show the speech, and then give a little toolkit.
What are you bringing to the speech itself, especially if it's in the future. [00:05:00] A majority of my students, it was all chat, GPT.
Dave: Mm-hmm.
Reese: And I can tell just the way it's formatted.
Dave: Sure. Yeah.
Reese: Un format it, use your head. I, maybe four that I can remember said that they used AI or chat GPT and I thank them.
When I give them the feedback, I'm like, thank you. Please make sure you do that for future classes with all the other ones. I gave them credit, but I didn't give them a hundred. They didn't do all that work. Yeah. They put what I asked them to do into the chat, into the
thing and then stick something up and it for them.
Yeah. I'm not a I use chat GPT used it to co come up with our outline for,
Dave: wait till you get a load of this one folks
Reese: for our podcasts that we're doing. But I put in the themes, I curated it, I added some things. IFI sent it to you, but it went to your
junk mail
Dave: because it knew that Yout, I figured you didn't do it yourself.
I figured you used a fucking ai. So it's, it's a junk. Me.
Reese: Yours [00:06:00] is named Cathy and you interact with yours way more than
Dave: all the time. All the time.
Reese: But I just don't like this idea that, you're gonna sue the school is ludicrous to me. Luda it's just ridiculous. I don't know. It again, I didn't read the article.
I went straight to the comments. I don't know if this was an online course because my online course, I do not use a textbook. I use online resources. So I go and I look up articles, I look up videos like each module that I do has a theme. And then I curate the information from online so that the students don't have to do that.
And then I ask them to, once you've learned what the lesson is, then I ask you to do the assignment. And I don't know, like it's gonna be more and more difficult. 'cause it's almost to the point it's like, why I. Are you even taking this course? If you're just gonna put everything into chat, GPT and mail it in?
Dave: Yeah. Yeah.
Reese: Just maybe they should just do by the degree, just give them 80 [00:07:00] bucks, get the 80 bucks, 80,000. I wish it was 80 bucks, $80,000 and buy the degree without doing the work. You know what I mean? Like just, yeah. Pay for it. Do an express.
Dave: I have an $80 degree.
Reese: It basically, it's gonna be that way if you keep using chat GPT.
'cause what are you learning?
Dave: No, it's all a wash. It's all a wash.
Reese: And they don't go back. They don't,
Dave: it's all a wash.
Reese: They don't go back and look at what's written. Because nine times outta 10, the stuff that's getting spit back to you from Chat GPT is correct. Mm-hmm. But you still have to, sometimes it doesn't get it right and you have to go back and verify stuff.
And that's when you're lazy. What are you doing that for?
Dave: I'm, I'm watching your dangerously close to spilling drink again. It's always fun.
Reese: Don't worry. It always ends up in my mouth. That's what she said.
Dave: But, But bump.
Reese: Anyway, so I just,
I wanted to talk about that because I, it's, you just brought it up and I'm like, there it is.
And I don't know like how much chat GPT is gonna be involved in. [00:08:00] Everything now. Well, No, I just mean in everyday life it's just,
Dave: listen, I used it today to help me with we had to put in goals for the business today. So I said, here's what I'm thinking now, put this in a format for me, and it did so yeah.
But again, like I'm still using my brain and Right. Not having it do the thinking for me. I'm having it do the. The dirty work
Reese: cleanup. The cleanup,
Dave: the dirty work.
Reese: So I had to write a, a bio, a director's bio for a play that I'm directing, and I wrote it out. Mm. And I was like, you know what? I could use a little cleanup.
So I put it into Chat GPT, and I was like, can you make sure this is grm?
Grammatic cleanup?
Grammatic cleanup. Are you done grammatically correct? Make sure that it's concise, cohesive, it makes sense, whatever
cohesive. Cohesive. Cohesive.
Oh, cohesive. Make sure it's Reive. I'm Reese. I see what you did there.
Jesus. And it. You gonna press a button and do something dumb?
Dave: Nope.
Reese: Or interrupt me five more times? Maybe. Let's see. So. [00:09:00] Chat, GPT said, re, you did a great job with this fun, interesting, blah, blah, blah. I just made a few corrections. Mm-hmm. And basically it was the same thing that I wrote. It just made, yeah, some commas or whatever in there.
Dave: Commas. Put some, it just made commas
Reese: and put some commas in there.
Dave: It's just said, breathe, bitch.
Breathe shut a hole and breathe.
Reese: Wow.
Dave: Yeah,
Reese: no, it wouldn't say that. You would say that you,
Dave: Dave, GPT would
Reese: Dave GPT. There it is. I gotta make a note about that because that's what I'm calling you from now. Oh, you gotta make a note, Dave. G-C-G-P-T.
Dave: Oh.
Reese: Oh, geez. Anyway how you doing, Dave?
Dave: Hey, I'm doing great.
I'm happy it's Friday. It's hot as F though.
Reese: It really is.
Dave: Today's, it's 80 degrees out there. And it's a very wet 80 degrees.
Reese: It's I, you know what? I'm gonna use it. It's moist.
Dave: It is moist.
Reese: It's wesh.
Dave: I don't like it.
Reese: It's wesh.
Dave: I feel I feel violated.
Reese: I'm to the point [00:10:00] I'm wearing,
Dave: you are wearing boxer shorts,
Reese: pajama.
Pajama boxer shorts. Yeah. Like This is where I am right now. I am very warm,
Dave: intense
Reese: the girls and I went
Dave: yeah, you went out today went,
Reese: we went thrifting. I know. So
Dave: I went out to move Jonnie's car in the morning and I was like, Ugh,
Reese: this is gross.
I know, I know. When, so now that the girls are officially home, which is very exciting. But when they say to me like, do you wanna hang out? Do you wanna go do a thing? I'm immediately gonna be like, yes. Because I know for the most part, they got their cars, now they're gonna be out and about. So I try to, they're. Take any opportunity if they wanna hang out with me. So we had a nice time.
We were definitely warm. And Emily, who suggested can we go thrifting spent most of the time in the car and the air conditioner. I'm like, why did you do this? But I was, and as we're driving back home, I was like, I wish we were driving back home right now. And the pool was open and we could just go in the pool.
Dave: Yeah. Soon. Can't wait. But next week's, all in the fifties. So I know I'm not doing it yet. I games. I know. I'm not doing it [00:11:00] until it looks like we got a good outlook.
I know. I to and the poor cats are suffering. Lick my finger
and stick it out the window and I'll tell you.
Chris. Ew.
Reese: I didn't know where you were gonna go with that.
So I immediately,
Dave: my licked fingered out. Yeah.
Reese: But yeah. So
Dave: I was immediately grossed out.
Reese: So I feel like I'm in good shape. I felt very happy with myself that I was able to get all my grading in the time that it was in I'm gonna learn this lesson.
Dave: Oh, I can't wait for this.
Reese: I did not have very good time management because I.
I wasn't thinking like I, I had my online classes.
Dave: Think, Bernardo. Think.
Reese: Think. I know. I can hear my father saying it too when I do these dumb things. But I had set up my last two weeks of my online classes so that they do their, there's one more set of videos that I have to watch when I get, I went on a trip.
And I was like, I'll do that, and then they'll do their final and I'll just be written and I can just breeze through. Those [00:12:00] are breezy. I'd have two full days to do all that when I get back from my trip and I regretted every single second of what I did. Mm-hmm. That was really dumb, but I got it in there's, put all the grades were supposed to be in by 12 o'clock noon on Wednesday.
I got everything in by 1201 oh, I was so close. I was so close,
Dave: God.
Reese: And the whole time I'm sitting there and I was like, you know, I need a little, I need a little sweet treat. I need a little sweet treat while I'm, I. Grading the stuff and I had bought a bag of, here it goes, gummies from the airport.
Not those gummies, the regular gummies and what was it? Skittle gummies, whatever it was.
Dave: Skittle gummies. Yeah.
Reese: Skittle gummies. Yeah.
And I didn't get a chance to eat them. And I was like I'll bring them home and I'm sure when I'm grading, I'm gonna want a little treat.
Dave: Sure.
Reese: Could not find them.
Dave: No.
Reese: I'm looking high and low. High and low. Like, where the hell are they? I accuse the girls. Mm-hmm. The girls are like, thumbs down. We have no idea [00:13:00] where its, I'm like, okay.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: And then today I go into the office. And I actually sent out a general announcement to the family and everybody was like, I don't know.
And I brought home 'cause I did go to Florida and I brought home a chocolate gator, which I thought was super cute. Was the chocolate good? Did it taste good?
Dave: It's fine.
Reese: I didn't get to eat it
Dave: fine.
Reese: And and I got. Gummy
Dave: Gator. Gator gummies.
Reese: Gator gummies. Oh, cute.
Dave: Also pretty good.
Reese: And you were like, is it the Gator gummies?
Was it Gator gummies? Gator gum.
Dave: I definitely ate the Gator gummies.
Reese: And I'm like, no, not that hard. Totally. And I couldn't think of Skittles.
Dave: I totally blacked out. If you had said Skittles, I would've remembered, but for some reason I blacked out.
Reese: I couldn't remember.
Dave: And I didn't, was, I didn't put it together that, oh yeah, those were gum gummies too.
Reese: Yeah. So I go in the office today to go get
Dave: that, that, that was over a course of a few days that I ate those, though, by the way. I didn't eat them all in one sitting. So
Reese: whatever, dude.
Dave: But I was like, oh yeah.
Reese: I go in the office and I found a clue, which was the empty bag in your garbage can in the office.
Dave: And then I was like, oh, those gummies. Yep. Ate those. Ate 'em [00:14:00] real good.
You ate them.
Reese: You ate them real good. Didn't even save me one. I didn't even have one.
Dave: Nope.
Reese: Yeah. Good times.
Dave: Ate 'em real good.
Reese: Anyway, I forgive you.
Dave: Thank you.
Reese: Because I have to say coming back from my trip I'd love it. I missed Mother's Day with everybody and it made me sad, but.
You got my car cleaned.
Dave: You were like your mother.
Reese: You g You got my car cleaned.
Dave: I did.
Reese: You put in new
Dave: we put in the WeatherTech mats.
Reese: The WeatherTech mats. You filled my tank up like
Dave: Yeah. Took care of ya.
Reese: That was nice.
Dave: We got your flowers. I
Reese: got me beautiful flowers. I walked in I their little gifts. Yeah. We have, we do the, if you guys watch Arrested Development.
Yeah. They do. This whole, we have this whole joke in the house with, look at Banner Michael. Mm-hmm. So last year the girls. Said, look at banner mom. And it said, we love family, love mom.
Dave: Family love mom.
Reese: And the, when I walked in, the girls were there holding this, the banner up and it was just so cute and loved it.
It was, I loved it. It was because
Dave: the house was clean.
Reese: The house was clean. No dishes in the sink.
Dave: Dishes in the sink. We took care of everything.
Reese: I know. You did good. That's why I didn't get too many [00:15:00] gummies.
Dave: The only, so we managed to do most things. Except for make fucking coffee in the morning.
Reese: I saw that. I saw that. I saw that the, you did clean the coffee pot though.
Dave: I did clean the coffee pot.
Reese: It was nice. And
Dave: yeah.
Yeah, because Shiny I did one attempt and then I was like, ah, fuck it.
Reese: You do you not know what to do?
Dave: No, I know what to do.
Reese: You just didn't feel like doing meant,
Dave: but I was,
Reese: I know. And the girls will be more than happy to go out
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: And get coffee or they do the Aroma Joes, so we had to make a pit stop at Aroma Joe's.
Dave: Of course you did.
Reese: I will say,
Dave: what will you say?
Reese: I think there's like three different. Aroma Joes we've been to. I take the girls or whatever. They're so
Dave: aromatic
Reese: Nice. No, they're so nice.
Dave: Oh. Okay.
Reese: I go to and I stopped going to dunks because I'm done with it.
And the last couple of times I went, I literally, there was one time I went to get Dunkin Donuts and I pulled up to the thing and the person went, what do you want?
Dave: Oh, nice.
Reese: I was like uh, I think I want, I think I don't want whatever you're gonna give me.
Dave: It was [00:16:00] probably a good thing. But I went the other day and I was like, I got something for myself.
I got something for Jonnie. 'cause she was home. And then I was like, let me have a. Strawberry glazed donut. We're all out of those let me have a chocolate glazed donut. That too. We're all out of those. And then I was like, do you have anything glazed?
Reese: Do you have a donut?
Dave: They, they were like,
They were like, Boston Cream.
I'm like, no. And then we were got a chocolate double. I was like, you know what? Forget it.
Reese: I know.
Dave: And they were like, sorry.
Reese: Well, At least,
Dave: what the fuck? It's in your name.
Well, No, it's not in there anymore. It's anymore. It's just dunking.
Reese: I know.
Dave: I had nothing to dunk on.
Reese: And that's what they do on you. They dunk on you.
Dave: Oh, shit.
Reese: What do you want? I never in my life.
Anyway,
Dave: although I did get a vanilla cold brew, and those were pretty,
Reese: was it good?
Dave: Pretty good.
Reese: I just haven't had good luck even,
Dave: so I gotta re-up another order of our Cometeer, which I'll highly recommend to anybody. It's these capsules that are frozen, concentrated coffees from brewers around the country, and you put 'em in the freezer and when you want one, you either take it outta the freezer, let it melt, or you just drop it [00:17:00] into hot water.
And delicious coffee.
Reese: Yeah, that delicious. It's always very good.
Dave: Much better than
Reese: and get the half calf. It's
Dave: the other pods that you have. The Keurig pods, the like that?
Reese: Yeah. I'm not a fan of the Keurig.
Dave: No. It just tastes like me. And like these taste like real coffee.
Reese: Coffee.
Dave: And they've got good flavors and yeah.
Good stuff. Good stuff.
Reese: So, so, Yeah. I don't know. It's been, It's been a good week. I wrote a play this week.
Dave: You did write a play this week.
Reese: I wrote a play.
Dave: You read it to me.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: And I saved the day
Reese: and you gave me some feedback on it, which was really good. Well, I asked you and, and my friend Jen Sterns for some.
Feedback. Mm-hmm. I got really good feedback. Mm-hmm. Which helped kinda tie up a couple little
Dave: fix it
Reese: looses to make it, 'cause you know when you're writing when you're writing,
Dave: no, I know
Reese: it makes sense in your head. That's why sometimes when I, I write,
Dave: do things make sense in your head?
Reese: They actually do.
It's when it comes out of my mouth.
Dave: Oh, it's it. It's what happens from the head
Reese: to the layman,
Dave: head to the mouth
Reese: to the layman who doesn't understand my intellectual prowess. I'm sorry. Oh, [00:18:00] you like that
Dave: The layman. Ah,
Reese: wow. You did that. Yep, you did that. So in my head, as I'm writing it and I'm reading it, I'm like, this is great.
And then you were just like, some of this doesn't, is not gonna translate to the audience. And it totally makes sense. 'cause I like when I write, I like. Having people read it aloud. Mm-hmm. So that I can hear it. Mm-hmm. It's very difficult to formulate the conversations in your head 'cause it, it makes sense there.
And so I sent it in. I think I got a good shot with it being chosen for the one x
Dave: fucking hope. So
Reese: we'll see what happens.
Dave: Well, all Hell's gonna break loose.
Reese: Listen, we can start to get into it because just before just before I went on my trip, I auditioned for a show. I was very excited about it. And I was very excited for this one role.
I would've taken pretty much any of the other roles, but as this one role, a dream role. And just before takeoff, the cast [00:19:00] list came up and I was all excited and I looked and my name was not. Where I wanted it to be, and I already have like severe anxiety. I know. It was so bad. It was, it literally was that, but a thousand times worse.
Yeah, because it was just before the plane took off is when I found that out. So I already have my plane anxiety than I had.
Dave: Then you were cut off from the world.
Reese: Then I had that, and then I've just, I cried for a full hour of that plane ride just from freaking out about. Being on the plane and then just being sad.
But then I went on my trip and it was great. And where was my trip, babe? Which is the theme of this podcast,
Dave & Reese: Florida. Florida,
Dave: man,
Reese: man. Yeah. Florida. The theme of our podcast is Florida. Man.
Dave: Well, tell us about your trip, Reese. So, What'd you do? What'd you What ha happened was,
Reese: what ha happened was it is my best [00:20:00] friend Miranda's 50th birthday, she's the last one.
Dave: Fitty
Reese: Fitty. She's the last one of our crew to turn 50. And so
Dave: Fitty,
Reese: so our friend group likes to make a big deal out of milestones and her husband was wonderful and booked a place for us in Fort Lauderdale and it was just a group of four. The whole friend group go is go, is it?
Dave: Or is it foot?
Reese: What do you mean
Dave: foot Lauderdale?
Reese: It's Fort,
Dave: I'm joking. Go ahead.
Reese: Did I say foot?
Dave: No,
Reese: I'm trying to pronounce so that I don't say Fort Lauderdale.
Dave: Fort Lauderdale,
Reese: because that's what I wanna say.
Dave: Say that's what you shoulda went. That would've been better.
Reese: That's what I wanna say.
Dave: You went to
Reese: Fort Lauderdale.
Dave: If you went to Fort Lauderdale, it would've been betters,
Reese: but I've been practicing and I'm like Fort Lauderdale it was me and Sharon and Kim and Miranda. And what was fun? Is that, so Miranda,
Dave: the band of the hand.
Reese: Miranda picked me up. [00:21:00] In the morning drove to the airport and I said to her, I'm gonna be completely honest with you.
I said, I'm going to not be helpful at all in the airport.
Dave: No, no, No.
Reese: I don't know what I'm doing. I am,
Dave: when you left, I was like I looked at Jonnie and I was like, we may never see her again.
Reese: You, I'm surprised I came back because also Miranda and I are just like two idiots with the same brain. I'm like, but maybe she.
She might be more competent than me.
Dave: Mm.
Reese: But we got lost in the parking garage of the airport for a good 20 minutes.
Dave: Starting off very well.
Reese: Yes. And so we're like, oh my God. And we almost exited out three different times and then all of a sudden as we start to get oh my God, there's no parking.
Why are we going the wrong way? What is happening? She rolls down my side of the window and is screaming out. Hey, bitch. I'm like, oh my God. Who are you yelling at? It was Kim and Sharon. I don't know how we found them, but we [00:22:00] found them. I we're like, oh my God. And it was,
Dave: sounds like an accident to me.
Reese: And there was a parking spot right across from them.
Dave: Wow.
Reese: So we were like, it was meant to be like, meant to, we were like screaming and yelling and freaking out.
Dave: They call that Kismet,
Reese: KIS. Kismet. And or hazmat. So then we are, we're going. And so my. Suitcase, the packing. I had been packing for this trip, so it was a surprise.
Miranda
Dave: and Repacking
Reese: Miranda didn't know about it, and she found out on her birthday May 2nd, but we knew from I don't know, March, February, I don't even remember. So I've been packing and un I unpacked the night before and then repacked and took stuff out. My suitcase was heavy. I couldn't even close it.
And so I'm try, I'm trying to like navigate through the airport and then we hit, we were going up escalators. I'm having a heart attack. Sharon comes from behind me, grabs my suitcase. I. And is like just total control. If she could have threw me on her shoulder and been used it was, I was completely helpless.
Dave: Sounds right.
Reese: It was about right. I don't know. We made it, it was [00:23:00] great. We get on the plane, I have my little nervous breakdown. We get to Florida, we lucked out. It was a beautiful couple of days on our last day there it did. Like monsoony rain, like it was scary. I was like, Ooh.
But the whole entire time I have to admit, what an amazing Yeah. Time.
Dave: Yeah. It looks, seems like you had good weather the whole time. Pretty much.
Reese: We had great weather. We would, so it, we got into a system right away and it was perfect for a bunch of 50 year olds. I never thought in my life like I brought all these outfits 'cause I thought we were gonna go out and do things.
Dave: No.
Reese: Nope. It was beautiful. It was brilliant. No one had a problem with it. Our routine was we get there, right? Immediately, we go to the beach. Mm-hmm. And walk around the beach. It was beautiful. We had some dinner, called it an early night. We, I don't know what we were watching. We had a couple of drinks. We were in bed by 10, 10 30.
Dave: Good for you.
Reese: It was beautiful. It was beautiful. Then in the morning we get up, Kim and Miranda [00:24:00] go to the gym. Me and Sharon do. Wall Pilates. I got up, I did wall Pilates. Her and I, every day of that trip, I got a bunch of bruises on my body from rolling around on the floor doing wall.
Dave: I'm not even doing wall Pilates. I'm not, I don't even know.
Reese: It was great. It was fine.
Dave: I don't dunno how you bruise yourself, but
Reese: it was fine. I, anything is possible in the world of Reese, so
Dave: this is true.
Reese: Then Kim would text us and be like, I'm coming up with your coffee order. Put in the coffee otter. She comes up
Dave & Reese: the ter the art ter, the coffee art.
Reese: And then look I'm trying to enunciate. Can you just back off?
Dave: No.
Reese: Then we
Dave: Florida man,
Reese: then we get ready and go to the beach. At the beach. They come around and they offer you drinks and food and all this stuff. And the drinks were like 20. Something dollars each.
Dave: Fucking stupid.
Reese: So it was ridiculous.
And we were drinking like these, like frozen lemonade drinks. I full of [00:25:00] sugar, whatever. But the weather was great. The water.
Dave: Water. Not so good.
Reese: Very wavy. Like you, like when we go to Salisbury Beach and you can just stand in the water and drink your drink.
Dave: Was it choppy?
Reese: It was very choppy.
Dave: Choppy. Miami Waters is in our thing here.
Reese: It was so choppy. Like we were in it for two seconds to cool off. Yeah. And then I was like, we gotta get, I gotta get out. Like I couldn't handle it was too much.
Dave: But you also spent some time by the pool,
Reese: so that was our routine. Yeah. So we'd go to the beach for.
Most of the morning, then we'd go have lunch. The place that we would go have lunch was terrific. Everything we ate was topnotch, food was delicious.
Dave: So let's stop you there. Yeah. What was your favorite meal?
Reese: Mm,
Dave: Ya had to choose one or if you wanna choose a breakfast, a lunch, and a dinner.
Reese: So we didn't do breakfast, so it was so great.
Dave: So a lunch,
Reese: because I was doing the intermittent and fasting.
Dave: What was your favorite lunch and what was your favorite dinner?
Reese: So I would say [00:26:00] my, I would say when we first got there I had a fish and chips. It was delicious.
Dave: Was that dinner or lunch?
Reese: That it was di it was like a dinner line, a line.
And then I would say after that we went off the resort and we walked, there was like a like the public beach and there was like a boardwalk. And then there was like a bunch of like bars and restaurants. And one night all Miranda wanted was oysters. So we found a place. Mm-hmm. The oysters were delicious.
I normally don't like raw oysters 'cause they're huge. But this was a nice little variety of them. Mm-hmm. Delicious.
Dave: Okay.
Reese: So, so good. So that was one of my favorites. I had scallops the night before we left. We had a night. Beautiful dinner. Yeah. Scallops were good. I was in the mood for scallops, but I wish they were a little more.
Dave: So not your favorite.
Reese: Seared. It was good. It was good. It wasn't
Dave: so, so the, so the oysters and fish and chips were your favorite? Right. Interesting.
Reese: But everything was really good. I had a burger at one point. Yeah, it was good. It was good. You would've been pleased. All right. It was good. And the girls would've liked it [00:27:00] anyway we would leave the beach, then we would get a little something to eat and then go to the pool.
And the pool was great. Here's the thing, and I know I'm gonna sound weighty toy and a little bit like a tight ass, but, oh. But you're gonna, I think most people who have, I think even at a certain point, 'cause Marina has young kids and I, whatever, I cannot go to a resort.
Dave: Oh no.
Reese: At this stage of life,
Dave: no.
Reese: With children,
Dave: you don't need children.
Reese: I can't do it. And it's not just the kids. 'cause it's not the kids' fault. They don't know. It's the parents. It's
Dave: parents are the worst.
Reese: The parents are in another planet drinking their drinks. And the kids are, it was driving me nuts that the kids were in the hot tub.
Like why the hot tub was like 104 degrees. They should not have even been in there. So we learned to say things to get the kids out of the hot tub. Oh. Like, Yeah, I don't know. It's like done. It's, no, not even that. They wouldn't even get that joke. But otherwise it was whatever. And there was only one creepy guy in the hot tub and we had to get, we had to get outta there.
[00:28:00] He like, it was definitely like an SNL. From hell character and he is like, hate her. And then the other two bopped out. Me and Miranda was still in there and Kim's I think he's touching himself, like she's in the background. Like I think he's, and so we didn't know how to get out of there.
But that was the only, that was the only negative experience was one gross guy. Pretty much. Everybody else was great. It was really good. And then one night we. We came back early as we do, and we had a couple of drinks. We're feeling good, and I was like, let's put on something funny. And we watch Goodfellas and we legitimately laughed through the entire movie because I don't know why that movie can sometimes be funny.
And it was just so great. It was just like a bunch of 50-year-old broads just living our best life. I packed six dresses, I wore one.
Dave: Yeah, you didn't need all of those,
Reese: the entire
Dave: six dresses
Reese: and three pairs of shoes. Yeah. Which also unn unnecessary. And I broke my flip flops at one point.
Dave: You need flops.
Reese: I had to throw 'em in the garbage.
Dave: A dress.
Reese: [00:29:00] Yeah. I just I didn't, I don't, when I go on vacation anywhere, even if it panic for you panic and you know, I panic because there's been times where I go somewhere and I'm like, why did I bring a sweater? You pants? I
Dave: Now you understand why I packed the away I pack though, right?
Reese: Yeah. But men are different than women. Different,
no I, no, that I understand different but also. Do you understand why I pack the way I pack that? Is what I'm saying.
But you go away way more than I do. So you already have that experience of like knowing. Yeah. But I will say it, it was great experience.
We, her and I actually had a lot of fun. We got, so the other two left early in the morning on Monday. Her and I left a little bit later on. We had a later flight. We had fun in the airport. I can have so much fun with that girl just. Anywhere. And we got home and it was just so nice to be home too.
Yeah. I'm sure it's always nice to get home.
It's nice to get home. So it was a nice little jaunt.
Yeah.
But I missed you guys. I wish you guys were. There as well. Yeah. 'cause I do have fun when we go and together. We too. Yeah.
But we glad you were, had a little fun time too.
But I do like a little Florida.
Nice to meet you.
I like a little Florida trip. Yeah. You know there's other [00:30:00] places in Florida. I feel like we still have time that we can go. We've been to Miami. Mm-hmm. Together. Mm-hmm
We went to the Disney.
I'm not a fan of the whatever.
It's fine.
I like it. Yeah. Alright. That's fine. Alright. What's next on
Reese? You. Put together a little thing for us.
I did. I did.
So I'm gonna throw it to you. Why don't you, kick us off here. What are we doing?
Should I read the prompt that the catchy,
Dave: well, I mean,
Reese: You might as well. Go for it and I'll
welcome back We're taking a wild, sunny ride through the state of Florida. Yeah, land of beaches. Gators. Gators. Yeah. And really weird headlines, Dave.
Dave: Now, now this is me
Reese: husband.
Dave: I'm listed as husband.
Reese: Husband
Dave: in this script, so that's right Reese. And
Reese: just says That's right, but okay,
Dave: listen. Listen.
Reese: That's not what Chat GPT wrote.
Dave: That's right.
Reese: Reese's rant. Read what Chat GPT told you,
Dave: and because we're doing this together. We're kicking it off with a Florida themed. Would you rather couples edition buckle up it's about to [00:31:00] get swampy.
Reese: Swampy? I'll say it's more.
Dave: Which is apropos of,
Reese: it's more swampy here than it was there. It was not that swampy.
It actually was delightful.
Dave: That's good.
Reese: It cooled down at night. That's too, which was really NICE's.
Dave: That's also good. I don't like when it's swampy.
Reese: And then we, and then going back on the beach at night, we made a whole thing about collecting. Rocks that were shaped as hearts, which was our, it was amazing.
And they had so many seashells that were beautiful. Anyway, that was fun. Okay.
Dave: Come back to us.
Reese: I am, I'm back. I'm back. All right. Do you want me to go first?
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: I'm just gonna read
Dave: you start the first one I'll do,
Reese: I'm gonna read a couple.
Dave: We'll go back and forth.
Reese: We'll go back and forth. We'll go back, okay.
All right. All right. So we're gonna play a little, would you rather couples edition,
Dave: right.
Reese: Would you rather take a romantic walk through the Everglades or ride a two person jet ski? In a choppy, in choppy Miami waters.
Dave: Reese, the uh, was not there. So could you please not read what Chat GPT didn't write?[00:32:00]
Thanks. I'm gonna say your face. I don't like any of these options.
Reese: Can I go back?
Dave: Would I rather
Reese: to Florida?
Dave: Would I rather? I guess so. It's, it throws you a little bit.
Reese: It's called Would you Rather They give you like two terrible things? Me, which is the least terrible.
Dave: Let me tell you here, because they throw you a little bit with the romantic walk through the Everglades. And like you are like, oh, that sounds nice, but the fucking Everglades are like a fucking swamp.
Reese: I know.
Dave: Who wants to fucking walk through that bullshit?
Reese: I don't know. You can make anything romantic if you try hard enough.
Dave: And then, And then, Hey, that's what she said.
Then, and then the choppy, part of me says the jet skis, but I'm like, nah, my body doesn't wanna do that.
Reese: We've been on choppy waters and jet skis before.
Dave: I know, but not at this age.
Reese: Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna have to go with that. So I guess we're gonna go through the,
Dave: so I guess
Reese: swampy romantic walk.
Dave: I wanna go through a romantic walk on in the Everglades, blah.
Reese: Ooh. Have you ever seen whatever shows and they show you the Everglades? That just looks, people actually. [00:33:00] G, go on jaunts on that, like in the boats and stuff. No, thank you. I don't, and there's snakes in there too. It's not just gators,
Dave: it's all the things.
Reese: Oh, jeez.
All right.
Dave: All right. Ready? Would you rather get matching tan lines at Clearwater Beach or matching Disney ears at Magic Kingdom?
Reese: What do you think? I'm gonna say,
Dave: uh, you might say Magic Kingdom, but I'm gonna go with the beach.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: If this said, what's the Epcot? If it said Epcot, oh, Epcot is fun. Because then I'd go, I'd be like, yeah, drink around Epcot.
Reese: But a lot of people don't like Epcot
Dave & Reese: and I don't understand that. The only thing, I didn't like the drinks.
Reese: Yes. And the only thing I didn't like, I feel, okay, I'm gonna propose this
Dave: Oh boy.
Reese: So that it's,
Dave: i'm gonna let's get it on record
Reese: for Prosper. Yeah. Prosperity. When the girls turned 21. I think we need to go back. I think we need to take them to Universal and then, 'cause they didn't get to do that.
And then I definitely think we need to go back to Epcot and do drinks around the world with them. How funny would that be?
Dave: Ha Ha.
Reese: 'cause jonnie has three margaritas and she's sleeping.
Dave & Reese: I was just [00:34:00] saying like, she's sleeping in a chair, sitting up three feet and then the trip will be over.
Reese: I love that for them.
Dave: So yeah, I'm going tan lines. Mm. But you'd rather go to Magic Kingdom.
Reese: I would. I would love if I can get you in ma, in matching. Disney ears. Nah. Come on. Yeah, come on.
Dave: There you go. All right. All right. You're up.
Reese: Would you rather live in a retirement village where every neighbor is over 70 and nosy, or in a beach town or spring breakers party all night next door.
Oof.
Dave: So
Reese: those are both terrible.
Dave: This this was, it was almost easy until it was like and nosy. I have to go with,
Reese: I don't like nosy neighbors.
Dave: I know, but I'd have to go with the retirement village because I do not want spring breakers partying all night.
Reese: But I feel like it's spring breakers. I would put some ear f I'm, anyway, I'm going deaf.
For those of you new that. New to my ailments going on with the tinnitus and everything. I went to ears, nose, and throat, and I found out that I'm partially deaf [00:35:00] in my right ear. Also, another fun thing about going away with your friends is when you are sharing beds and
Dave: you Sharon beds,
Reese: Sharon Beds
Dave: get it.
Reese: Sharon was in the other bed and me and Miranda in the other bed, and Miranda kept turning around and going, hi, and start laughing. I'm like, dude, I cannot hear you anymore. Like you can't whisper something funny at me. I couldn't hear shit. I don't know. I maybe, I don't know if I could deal with nosy neighbors though, but I guess you could do something about that.
You can't do much about the spring breakers, anything, yeah. All right. I'll agree with you with the,
Dave: mean whatever
Reese: with that.
Dave: Yeah. I did the retirement.
Reese: Okay.
Dave: Would you rather have a backyard full of sand and seagulls? I. Or a swamp with a suspicious gator named Carl. So I, I've
Reese: let's make friends with carl.
Dave: I, is it like your typical Florida thing where you have like an enclosed, like area to keep out the Gators or is this no, [00:36:00] Carl can come up and be like, yo, what's up?
Reese: So when we were there, there was a news station playing at, the bar and there was a gator. Someone had it on their ring. The gator crawled up the front door.
Dave: Yeah, man,
Reese: they'll do that. They just go onto your property. If you don't have it like go. But it was the front of the house like most of the time.
Dave: Fucking seagulls though.
Reese: I love seagulls.
Dave: I think I'd take my chances with. Suspicious with Carl, a gator named Carl. Maybe
Reese: I agree.
Dave: I don't know
Reese: because seagulls will.
Dave: I hate all of these.
Reese: I know. Well that That's why it's called would you rather, it's not supposed to be something you really wanna do.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: You have to choose the lesser of two evils. I like Carl and he is named Carl. At least I know him.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: I don't know the seagulls.
Dave: You could be friends.
Reese: Exactly. Carl would be my BFF
Dave: Cow
Reese: Cow. All right. Would you rather hunker down together with board games and flashlights during a hurricane or evacuate in bumper to bumper traffic with only gas station snacks and [00:37:00] each other for company? A hundred percent the first one.
Dave: Yeah, of course. Yeah, no doubt.
Reese: Oh my God. I would not wanna evacuate to bumper to bump track.
Bump to bump.
Dave: Bump to bump.
Reese: Bump,
Dave & Reese: bump, bump, bump, Bump.
Reese: This drink Hit. Hit hard.
Dave: Ah, there it is.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: We, by the way, we're drinking the traditional vesper martini this evening.
Reese: Oh, let me also mention, I did have a dirty martini.
Dave: Mm-hmm.
Reese: That was delightful.
Dave: Good.
Reese: Because I had to go on to more mature drinks.
I couldn't keep drinking.
Dave: Those fucking
Reese: fruity drinks were
Dave: although I want a sugar drink right now.
Reese: The dirty martini with the juice from the, olives with the blue cheese. Mm. So good. It was like second meal. Okay, next one.
Dave: Oh, this is interesting. Would you rather argue over what to pack during an emergency or where to eat after the power goes out for three days?
Reese: Literally, I think we've done both of these.
Dave: Yeah. I rather do? Where to [00:38:00] eat after the power goes out three days. I'm confused by what that means.
Reese: Yeah, that's a crazy one.
Dave: Argue about like what place to go to because might, they might have good food.
Reese: I'm gonna,
Dave: I'm think I would.
Reese: I'm gonna be so for real with you, you would definitely argue about where to go to eat after the power goes out because you.
Dave: I think I would rather argue about that than what to pack during an emergency. 'cause I feel like what's so much to argue about?
Reese: You know what's really funny? The first part of that question.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: I would already be packed.
Dave: That's what I'm saying.
Reese: I would already be packed.
Dave: And you'd have the only argument would be no, you don't fucking need that.
You don't need the seven dresses. It'd be that type of party.
Reese: No, no, no, no, no. I want you to listen.
Dave: I heard you.
Reese: It's an emergency I already have.
Dave: I know. Emergency preparation. Ready to go. I got 80,000 candles. I've got You should try that for your everyday life. Wait. I.
Reese: Does the cricket have the middle finger up? 'Cause I [00:39:00] do, I would already be packed for the emergency. So there'd be no arguing there. But what's really funny is there definitely would, I wouldn't even be able to argue with you. I would just be starving. 'cause we would go from gas station to gas station or wherever we're at seven 11 where we can get food in the emergency because you're like, I don't know about the seven 11.
Let's look at the menu at the other one. Remember that time we went to Miami and we got off the plane and we were both hungry and it was like a thousand degrees. And then we went like to the town air quotes town, and there was only like three restaurants. There was nothing. And we had to look at the menu for all three of the restaurants and you could not make a choice.
Dave: There was nothing looked good.
Reese: Oh my God. Good lord. How are so married?
Dave: Your turn. Your turn to read.
Reese: Hey. Would you rather have a romantic sunset dinner in Key West?
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Or hit a roadside crab shack with a five star food [00:40:00] and zero C
Dave: you put another fucking uh, in there.
Reese: Listen, just get over. You'll take it out when you're doing nothing.
Dave: No, I'm gonna leave it in. So you sound like a Go ahead. Finish the rest.
Reese: You know what's fun is that you go off on my ums and my ahs when you constantly interrupt me so that I can't think of what I wanna say and that's where the uh, ''cause I don't know what to think. 'cause I never know when you're gonna make a dad joke at me.
Dave: Oh yeah.
Reese: In the middle of it.
Dave: All right.
Reese: I'll try it again. You ready?
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Would you rather have a romantic sunset dinner in Key West or hit a roadside crab shack with five star food and zero ac? Is that better? David,
Dave: that was really good. Nice job Reese.
Shove it
Dave & Reese: up. Your zero ac really learning
Reese: which one
Dave: I
Reese: key west.
Dave: Both. Both of [00:41:00] these sound, although
Reese: a crab shack,
Dave: both of these sound good to me.
Reese: If we were outside eating the crab in the crab shack, I'd be okay with it.
Dave: I mean, it is pretty gross. I'd be miserable that I was there anyway because it's probably pretty gross. But if the food was really good and it's crab shack, I do like crabs, but I'm also happy with a sunset dinner. I'd key west.
Reese: I would be great.
Dave: Both of these would be good to me.
Reese: Okay. All right. Same.
Dave: Which one would you rather do if you had to choose though? Tonight we're doing one of these two things.
Reese: Gun to your head, gun to your head, gun to your head. Gun to your head.
Dave: Let's go get some crabs.
Reese: Okay. Same. I, we do so well, and we brought up the girls.
I, I am so proud of how they dig into a lobster and they know how to crack it open and eat it. And I love that they also know how to eat a crab. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. Like, They bang it with a mallet I'm so proud of them. When we go and we do the summer, where do we go at Carey's. Pool club.
Dave & Reese: Yeah. That was Carey and Georges pool club and they, the crab night, they will eat. Speaking of. I gotta 1 million. I gotta make sure we get in on that action again. Yeah, seriously. Check in with her on that. All right, next [00:42:00] one. Alright.
Dave: This is you. No, this is me.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: Would you rather do a couple's airboat ride through the Everglades?
I think we've already established Fuck the Everglades or salsa dancing. They in little Havana. Oh, little Havana. Of course.
Reese: A hundred percent. Oh my God.
Dave: Is it Havana or Havana?
Reese: I don't know. Let's look at Guys and dolls. 'cause there's a whole song about it.
Dave: Oh.
Reese: Because this is a whole song about getting shit faced.
Okay.
Dave: All right. Go ahead.
Reese: I have one slice of pizza, so I have nothing in my stomach. I'm like, what's up? That? All right, next. It's getting dark in here, babe.
Dave: Yeah,
Reese: it's dark in this room.
Dave: Well Hurry up.
Reese: Alright. Would you rather reapply sunscreen on each other every 20 minutes?
Dave: Oh yes.
Reese: Which we've already done.
Dave: Yes, I would.
Reese: Or spend the whole, oh, just on you. I don't use any and I burn to death or spend the whole day getting sand out of places. Sand shouldn't
be
Dave: Like my folds.
Reese: The folds, I got the sand. What did we just watch with the sands? The folds.
Dave & Reese: The season of four seasons. The [00:43:00] folds also
Dave: I'm definitely doing the sunscreen every 20 minutes.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: The sand sucks.
Reese: Sand is actually
Dave: The worst,
Reese: so
Dave: Unless it's on paper and then it's nice sand paper.
Reese: Oh God. Is it nice on sandpaper? Okay. It's alright. Do the next one
And then let's move on.
Dave: Alright. Would you rather be featured in a Florida couple of the week headline for something weird or go viral for arguing over Publix subs on TikTok?
Oh, definitely want to be featured as Florida couple of the week.
Reese: Yes, I,
Dave: That would be amazing.
Reese: My, so i'm gonna say that one of my biggest fears and a. Etiquette that I do not like on TikTok as an avid TikTok watcher. I don't like when people record other people. Unbeknownst to them.
Dave: Yes.
Reese: Making fun of them.
Dave: Yes.
Reese: And then posting it on social media, especially TikTok. I'm not, I don't like when you publicly shame someone. Like I just watched a TikTok the other day and listen, [00:44:00] I'm not saying it was the right thing, but there was a mom walking with her three kids. She had shoes on. The three kids who were fairly young did not have shoes, and the bottom of their feet were black and they're walking through a parking lot into I don't know if it was like a Walmart or whatever it was, and the person's in their car filming it.
I go straight to the comments and everybody's oh my God, what a terrible mother. You don't know. They may be going to that store to buy them shoes, whatever. Maybe the kids have issues. Listen, kids have
Dave: Is-shoes.
Reese: They ha. They have no shoes. They may have tactile issues, like they don't like when things like touch them.
And, if you don't have kids, you don't know what it's like to try to get them to wear something they don't wanna wear. And in my old age, there were some things, now I can't handle it if there's a tag and it's scratching me. I can't handle it. So I just don't like when people film other people in public and make an opinion without knowing what [00:45:00] their story is, and then publicly shame them on the internet.
I'm not a big fan of that, so I. Obviously we're gonna go with the Florida couple of the week, but who knows what that means.
Dave: That means it means we did something weird.
Reese: We did something weird.
Dave: So I'm down with that.
Reese: So I'll say this one. One of
Dave: that sounds about right.
Reese: Yeah. One of my many accomplishments as a, again, air quote playwright.
Dave: Oh,
Reese: I wrote a play actually, I really should get that.
Dave: Should you
Reese: Published it. It was a great, it was a good play. It was supposed to be a one act. It really went on for a very long time, but. It was so much fun. We kept adding to it, but I did a play called Florida Man, and I took
Dave: Not to be confused with this episode, which is Florida
Dave & Reese: Man, man.
Reese: This was Florida man, and we took headlines from Florida newspapers and created all these like different stores there.
Dave: No weird couple headlines.
Reese: There was no weird couple. Yeah, there was.
Dave: Seems like you missed out on an opportunity. There.
Reese: There, there was there, but
Dave: there was, [00:46:00] there,
Reese: it was just so funny to watch.
People reenact all the things from the headlines and create what we think the story would be. And I don't know why is it that Florida has what happens to people in Florida? 'cause I have to say, Massachusetts has some weird shit too.
Dave: You know what I gotta say?
Reese: And it's not that hot here.
Dave: Florida.
Reese: Florida, man.
Dave: You ready?
Reese: Are we gonna do improv style prompts?
Dave: I guess so. You wanna start,
Reese: Act out your first hurricane evacuation as if you were two totally unprepared tourists.
Dave: I don't think we'd have to act that out as if we were totally unprepared. 'cause I think we would be totally unprepared.
Reese: Okay. Let's skip that one and go straight to the next one.
Dave: Oh, okay. Pretend you were arguing over what kind of gator makes the best pet emotional support or lawn security. I'm gonna say al EEG Gator Yeah. Is the best pet.
Reese: How? How dare you
Dave: Lawn security?
Reese: Disregard Carl. 'cause he is my emotional [00:47:00] support Gator.
Dave & Reese: Carl would be Carl. Would be Carl. Carl. Carl. Carl. Carl. Carl.
Walking dead. Reference. Carl. Carl.
Carl.
Carl.
Carl that this good example. Carl Zombie.
Reese: Oh my God, Dave got possessed.
Dave: So. Yeah. All right.
I don't Did we finish? Yeah, improvise.
Go ahead.
Reese: Go ahead. Oh. This is great 'cause I'm gonna talk about this in a second.
Dave: Oh, good.
Reese: Improvise. Your reaction to spotting a five foot iguana falling out of a tree during your date. Listen, lemme tell you something.
Dave: Oh shit.
Reese: I'd be like, oh.
Dave: Now if it fell on you though, that'd be I,
Reese: no, I would love it and I would keep it forever.
Dave: No you wouldn't. No you wouldn't.
Reese: Lemme tell you there are. So I saw a. A million species of lizard. When I was away, there was a little like little baby one. Then at one point we're in the pool. Oh my god. I have to tell you [00:48:00] this one.
Dave: That wasn't a lizard.
Reese: We were, yeah, we were. So I made friends with this guy. Oh, whose son is on the spectrum.
Dave: Did you have love on the spectrum?
Reese: Funnily enough, oh. So I got to talking and it was on Mother's Day and we're all at the table like woo. We were like the fun table at one point in the restaurant that we like, and I made friends with this older gentleman. He was very nice, very sweet. And he had his son and he was telling us like, ah, I'm trying to find like a girlfriend for him.
He's 30 years old. This man.
Dave: So he was propositioning you.
Reese: Oh my god. I think he was trying to find someone to get,
Dave: Because he was like, you are on the spectrum.
Reese: Oh my God.
I was like, oh geez. So you were, was like, whatcha, whatcha you guys gonna be doing? I was like, oh, we're gonna go in the pool.
So at the resort that we stayed, there were people that are local and you can pay. Yeah, to use the pool resort and whatever. And so the al because they have a spa and [00:49:00] everything there, so we're like, yeah, we're gonna be in the pool. He is like, all right, what time are you gonna be there? I'm like, he found us in the pool.
His son comes swimming over. He, his son was loving on all of us. He did. This boy needed a girlfriend so bad. I felt horrible. And the father was actually really good with him. He was very stern with him. Like when it was too much. He would be like Robert, no, you can't do that. Blah, blah, blah.
And but I just, oh my God, I felt so bad. But there was one point where we're all in the pool and things were getting like awkward. And I look over as I do and I see something shiny and it was this huge iguana on the garbage can. I'm like, oh my God, you, and first of all. Drinky drunk. Oh my God.
You guys look at the iguana on the garbage. Can I me? And then his son was like, oh my god, two. Maybe I am on the spectrum. I have no idea. I don't like to make that.
Dave: Oh, you're on the spectrum.
Reese: We, him and I zoned in on that.
Dave: It's a spectrum
Reese: [00:50:00] iguana. I'm like, oh my God. It was. The huge, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
But then everybody's attention eventually, like I was like, oh my God. Like it, oh, I would've brought them all home. I would've had 87. lizards,
Dave: If only you didn't bring those six dresses, you could have fit them.
Reese: If only I didn't bring those five pairs of shoes and six
Dave: and five pairs of shoes.
Reese: But this, but let me say this target had these compressible bags that you don't need the vacuum. You just can't, that you have to kinda lean on everything in the bag and then you press the like zipper part and it sucks all the air out. Yeah. I was doing this thing, I put seven dresses in one bag and you, I leaned over it on the bed and I just zipped it and got all the air out and it suction it.
Oh. I got very animated. Wow. Sorry I hit the microphone.
Dave: You suckered the microphone.
Reese: It was amazing. Anyway, there was a lot of creatures in [00:51:00] Florida that I was very delighted with while was, was there. So I would say I. If I saw the iguana falling out of the tree during the date, if it didn't hit me, I'd be like, oh my God.
If it got hurt, I would, yeah, I would be upset, but I would be like, oh my God, I would be excited. You would not.
Dave: I said, I would be like, oh shit,
Reese: Yes.
Dave: But if it, it landed on, on one of us, it'd be like, ah. You know how you do that. Like you just like freak out. 'cause like, you know, when you think you feel a spider or something on you,
Reese: Oh my God.
Dave: It'd be one of those situations.
Reese: I would hate that. I would hate that. I would hate that so much. I also love that. Can we just talk about the fact that you printed out a picture of what the Everglades look like?
Dave: Yep.
Reese: They actually look really pretty.
But I would,
Dave: If you want Dexter to drop your body in there.
Reese: That's what I'm saying. When you see them on the little boats, they're like little boats.
Dave: No, it looks so fucking gross.
Reese: Anything can jump onto there.
Dave: Don't wanna do any of that.
Reese: But I will say the Publix subs look that looks pretty good, right now
Dave: I'm gonna already here's the next one.
Debate mocks. [00:52:00] Trial style mocks trial style.
Reese: That's not what it says there.
Dave: Debate mock trial style. That's so stupid to say. Are Publix,
Reese: You would fail. You would fail. My public speaking class,
Dave: Are Publix subs really the best sandwiches in the country. And I'm gonna say, are you fucking kidding me?
That looks
Reese: Have you ever had one
Dave: fucking, no, I don't think so, but I don't think I've had one. But looking at the image, it's a fucking glorified Subway sandwich image.
Reese: It does look actually
Dave: not look good at all.
Dave & Reese: Feel like Subway would be better. Does at, I don't know, look good? Has anybody ever had a Publix sub?
Let us know. Let us know.
Dave: But we didn't so much debate that mock, mock trial style.
Reese: I would try it. I would try it. I would try. So here's my mock trial.
Dave: Of course I would try it.
Reese: I have not had one, therefore I couldn't give a nuanced opinion about it. Yeah. But if
Dave: I feel like this is an In-N-Out burger situation
Reese: Ooh.
Dave: Where people love it and you're like, are you fucking kidding me?
Reese: And we did. We did. Did we have the In & Out when we went to Vegas? Was that the one we had?
Dave: We did have that at Vegas. Yeah, but we had it. Yeah. Yes, we did have it in Vegas. Yeah.
Reese: Yeah. [00:53:00] And that was the first time I had it.
It was okay.
Dave: Was the first time we had it.

Reese: I've never had an In & Out.
Dave: I feel like we might have had it before.
Reese: That's like a, A California.
Dave: Yeah, I've had before. Yeah.
Reese: So I've never had one and I
Dave: Yeah, no, not so great.
Reese: I was, I wearing other rain.
Dave: There's one opening I guess in this area and you know the Phantom Gourmet guy? Oh no. He did like a, he did a.
He did a review and he was like saying it was good. And I just wrote in the comments. I was like, trash food.
Reese: Oh you're that guy.
Dave: I was like, I couldn't, I never comment, but I was like, no, that's trash.
Reese: You're that guy.
Dave: And now I know not to trust your judgment on anything.
Reese: Wow.
Dave: I didn't write that,
Reese: said that to the Phantom Gourmet.
Dave: No, he just said, okay. Said trash food in the comments.
