Where is this Peacock? ...I can't remember!

Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:00

This is Let's Wine with Brendan and Stacy. And this is Brendan Stacy. We're back with another episode. And today I think I want to talk about forgetting things because I feel like I'm doing it more often than I ever have.

SPEAKER_02 0:10

Yes, we have it. We have it bad. Old Idis. Yeah, I can't remember shit. And then I can't remember what I forgot to remember. So I'm totally fucked. I'm just fucked.

SPEAKER_01 0:18

Oh yeah. And I don't feel like there's an issue. I just I don't know. I think when it really hit me, we were playing a game at work on opposites, and you know, it's memory care, and they were doing very well. But you know, it was like up, down, innocent, guilty, open, close. And then the word was forgetful. And it shocked me that that stumped them. Like they couldn't remember the word remember.

SPEAKER_00 0:38

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 0:38

And I don't know why. I it just kind of hit me like we have to do an episode on this. When Gia was alive, there was one time I had to go to the store for cat food. And maybe it's not forgetfulness. I get derailed. I will see, like, oh, this is for sale, or this is buy one, get one. I'm like, well, you know, if money's tight, I better go ahead and get this stuff now. I get back out to the car. There's no cat food. Or I go in a room to do something. I see something else that needs done, or pick something up, or put something away, and I do all these other things. But the one thing that I intentionally went in there for. Yeah. So I don't know what's wrong with me.

SPEAKER_02 1:06

Well, well, I mean, that's why we have to make lists. We have to make lists to remember things now. I mean, that's one of the things that I've developed to kind of keep myself in check. Right. You know, I can make a list, uh, write down things I did during the day. I like checking off things too. Like, oh, I do like I did that, I did that, scratch it out.

SPEAKER_01 1:22

Checklist.

SPEAKER_02 1:23

Yeah. So I have to do that kind of to keep me straight. Work usually when I have like three or four days off in a row. Going back to work the first day, I kind of feel like I'm a new. Wait, hold on, let me. It takes me a minute to get my bearings and I remembered all my passwords and all the things that I have to do and all the things I have to get done in such a short amount of time. Not complain at all. Love working just a few hours a week. But I'm just saying it's like it takes me a minute to get back in the groove. Like, oh yeah, I'm doing this now. Oh shit, I'm in charge of that. Oh, I know. Like, what am I doing here? Yeah, what am I doing here? But I do think the brain and how it remembers things and how it can't remember things. It's like I've talked about this before. When I think about things that happened in the past, I feel like I'm telling a story about somebody else. Like it doesn't even feel like, did I live that? Did I do that? No. Did those things really happen to me? A lot of it, I think, is the brain's way to go, yeah, we don't want to remember that so much and dwell on it or go crazy about it, or maybe that's why we do start forgetting things as we get older because we got all this other shit to worry about now.

SPEAKER_01 2:25

Yeah, if it's an emotional thing, we might just purposely push it out of our minds and we don't think about it. And sometimes if you don't think about something every day, then all of a sudden it comes up, it's like I would have never thought of that again.

SPEAKER_02 2:35

Yeah, you say things all the time that I would have never thought of again. Or, you know, you see a word and then a stupid memory does pop up. Like, oh my God, remember that time? You know, it's stuff I've never thought about since the day it happened.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

This is just deep, and I'd have to read more. But one of the things that I read is if you're telling that story or you're bringing up a memory, what you're telling is the last time you remembered it. Rather than the act of doing it. And I think that's wild.

SPEAKER_02 2:57

And maybe that's why stories change from time to time.

SPEAKER_01 3:01

Remember something you didn't remember, it rings a bell, you know. I remember a lot of details with things, or maybe it's just things that are important to me. It is crazy.

SPEAKER_02 3:11

It's crazy, and it makes you feel crazy to forget. Oh, yeah. Because you know that there's something that you were supposed to do when you came in that room that was in your head when you walked in it, and picking up all the other crap wasn't. But then that other crap distracts you. That's your tism.

SPEAKER_01 3:24

Well, have you ever thought like when you do walk away from the room or and you never can remember it, you're like, well, it must have not been that important.

SPEAKER_02 3:29

Yeah. And scary things have happened. Like I show up at work and I don't remember driving there. Okay, that's scary. I know. I get there and I like I'm on autopilot. It happens more when I'm coming home from work. Oh, I believe. It's kind of like I'm trying to just decompress from the day. I don't want to bring it in the house with me. I'm just trying to get all my thoughts of the day kind of out of me. Yeah. That's why I'm playing some headbanging music or I'm playing something to just mindless. I get home and go, did I stop at all the red lights? Did I turn my blinker? Did I I know I did all the things, but I can't remember consciously doing it. Are you scared now? A little bit. And I don't even smoke pot or do drugs or anything. So it's not that I'm Well, be careful driving home at night. But I know I did all the things correctly. I can't be the only person in the world who's got somewhere and thought No, you were thinking of other things. Yeah, I was thinking of other things, and maybe subconsciously figuring out driving. Damn.

SPEAKER_00 4:22

I know.

SPEAKER_01 4:23

Do you ever think you're multitasking? Oh, all the time I think I'm multitasking. That's another thing I read. The human brain can't do that. You're flipping from one thing to another, but you're still focusing on just one thing.

SPEAKER_02 4:33

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

I know. So it's better to just finish your one thing and then go to the next thing.

SPEAKER_02 4:38

Well, maybe that's part of what's wrong with me if I have too many tasks going on at the same time, too many thoughts going through my head. I I can't add another thing.

SPEAKER_01 4:46

I just don't have the capacity. We play a lot of games and like show them the picture, like who is this? Famous people. There was one that stumped me one day. I know the name, and I couldn't, it was Pierce Bronson. For some reason, I couldn't think of it. I'm like, I know that man. He was in Mrs. Doubtful.

SPEAKER_02 5:00

And this happens all the time too. You see somebody, you know you're talking about, you can see the face, but you can't put two and two together to make it make sense. Like I could see their face, but I can't think of the name. I can see their face. I can see what they were doing in the movie, but I can't think of the movie. You know, like that's happened.

SPEAKER_01 5:14

Oh yeah, that's happened where you're just that's that cherry picking or just little bits of the way the mind will like filter out things. Yeah. Oh no, that scares me. It's crazy. I think when we really need to start worrying though is if we can't think of a word. I think that's kind of the like the downhill slope. Oh well, I already have that.

SPEAKER_02 5:30

Like I'm trying to think of words and they just won't come to me. Or I mean, or I say the wrong thing. Like I was trying to say something earlier I was gonna do, and I use it to actually the wrong word. It ended up making sense enough to where Jeff was like, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:43

Like he knew what I was talking about. Well, you two can probably just look at each other and know our language and now know what we're gonna say.

SPEAKER_02 5:49

Yeah, it drives me insane. Or I'm like deep in a conversation. This happens to me all the time. It could be work-related, it could be home related, it could be just I'm telling you a story. And I can't remember what the fuck I was talking about. What the fuck was I telling you? What was I telling you again? Or or if oh yeah, okay. And then that person has to go, uh, what was the last shit you were talking about? I mean, does that mean I talk too much? Or do I just I don't know. I get like think something else, and then my brain is just like, well, there's no way we're going back to that right now. Now you've gone off on this tangent. We do it on this show, we do it every day in life. That's how we really sound and talk in the the real world, like we're fucking idiots because can't be.

SPEAKER_01 6:26

I don't know. Mine's um and you're you're you know. You know, you know, yeah. You know how many you knows I edit off of you? Oh, I know it's a lot. I know I'm a lot of work to edit. That's right. Oh, it's not bad. I did reach out to the kids to see how they felt about forgetting. It's wrong of me to think this way, but I thought men were probably worse at like remembering birthdays and anniversaries and things like that. Of course, we're quick to remind them, so there's no excuse. But Christina is the one that chimed in saying that Brian, her husband, is better at remembering dates than her.

SPEAKER_00 6:55

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 6:55

But I know she's busy. She's so busy with work and college and I know.

SPEAKER_02 6:59

Well, that's my excuse. I'm just so busy. I just can't keep everything's everybody's in my Yeah, but I think you're bullshitting right now.

SPEAKER_01 7:06

Tell everybody you're bullshitting. You're the one to start reminding Jeff of your birthday six months prior. Well, that's because I have a happ birthday.

SPEAKER_02 7:13

That's so different. Okay. Nobody remembers my happ birthday anymore, but it used to be a big deal.

SPEAKER_01 7:18

Do you feel that Jeff remembers everything you need him to remember?

SPEAKER_02 7:21

Yes, I don't think he skips over anything that makes me can't believe you forgot that. Or he better remember everything that ever happened and every word I ever said at every minute. Is the rest of his life that happened before me? I call that the BS before Stacey. We don't care if he remembers or not, but from now on, I'm gonna remember everything from the day you met.

SPEAKER_01 7:38

That's right. Remember every little thing.

SPEAKER_02 7:40

I know he's very taking notes. I mean, he's just as bad as we are. You know, he tells the same story so much, you know, I can finish it. When he first starts out, the first few words, I'll be like, Well, I know where this is going. Because I've heard the story a thousand times, but I don't mind him sharing that story with me again. I know it by heart, but he likes to tell it, obviously. Some of the things that he tells the story over and over. But I always usually let him get to the very end, and I go, and then you saw a dog, and then you were sad because you were homesick for Jake. And then she'd be like, What? Yeah, and then he's like, Oh, yeah, I told you that.

SPEAKER_01 8:12

Yeah, but I'll let you get all the way to the last two seconds. And uh you know I'll remember saying things or telling stories. I can't remember who I told it to. Like even earlier, I'm like, if I told you this already, yeah, stop me. I mean, because I don't remember who I tell it to.

SPEAKER_02 8:25

That's because you tell so many stories to the same people that you can't remember. Well, okay. And see, like I've done that before where I've told you stuff, and so then I just assume I told Jeff too. I assume him to know everything I tell you, and vice versa. You know, I just almost like you are the same person, you know, for me. Like they're not tell 15 other people, you know.

SPEAKER_01 8:43

Well, my first husband, the asshole, he is the one who used to joke around and say, if you need one of them girls, mean Camille or Curry, if you need any of them to know anything, you only have to tell one of them.

unknown 8:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:55

Because somehow it gets around our little circle. Yeah. I don't know what's happening to her brain. Like we had so much to talk about on our show for forgetfulness, and now I can't remember how shit we were talking about.

SPEAKER_01 9:04

Well, Curry wrote in and she said her main thing was events for some reason. Sh she said, I'm forgetful as fuck. If it's not something I've spent money on, there's a good chance I'll miss it. And then she said that's referring to events. But then when Camille wrote in, she said she was talking about that wedding that was two years ago, and she had forgotten it was two years ago. And I think time is an issue of remembering things. A concept of time can throw off your memory. Absolutely. Like that was yesterday, and you'd be quick to uh-uh, that was two years ago. Yeah. Like it was.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

Yeah, no, it seems like that. And I think that's another reason. And it's funny, Camille's starting to realize it because the older you get, the faster time really does feel like it's going sometimes.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

It's like insane. My dad's number was 60. For some reason in his head, he would always say, if you think it's fast now, wait till you hit 60. He would say, We just put that Christmas tree away, and all of a sudden it's time to take it out again. And here I, you know, I'm looking at 60 now. I can see it ahead. I feel like everything goes pretty fast now. Yeah. I know we're already over halfway through the year. We do daily chronicles at work, yeah. And so we read the date every time we're there, and like on this day in history, and I'm like, how is that 1954? Right. You know, kind of thing. I'm like, no. I have a hard time believing that I graduated in 88. That does seem like a long time ago. No, it doesn't.

SPEAKER_02 10:16

It is 88 sounds like forever ago. No. We were I mean, I was just a little kid. I was 12. Was I 12? No.

SPEAKER_01 10:25

Weren't you born in 74? I was born in 74. I'm 14. I was 14. Yeah. I don't know. It just it's crazy. It is so crazy. But what we were talking about earlier that I thought was so funny. It's like our mentalities. I was telling you about SpongeBob in the memory and the fine dining in the file cabinet. He was remembering everything about fine dining, and then all of a sudden, when they said, What's your name? He couldn't remember his name because everything was packed into this file. And the Harvard Gazette actually has an article that talks about memory. Okay. And it shocked me that it says one of the most common errors is the metaphor that we use to talk about memory that implies that the memory sits somewhere in the brain. You think it's just sitting in this one little thing, and when it's full, stuff starts tumbling out. And it says that every time that we're bringing a past event to mind, we have to use effort to rebuild that memory. We have to rethink about it. Whereas I think, I don't know, I think I think different than a lot of people for some reason. Don't roll your eyes. Well, we knew that. I mean, Jesus. I am one of those, I it's hard for me to forget things, and I wish I could. I think I remember lying in my crib. Do you remember that one? No. Yes, I remember being in my baby crib. No, you don't. Maybe I was eight years old in it. Oh my gosh. You still sleeping in a cage when you were eight. Yeah. No, I wasn't. But you know, I remember the crib, and I wonder if it's because I've seen pictures. Oh. Do you ever go through like pictures and you look at the environment? Like, I remember that toy.

SPEAKER_02 11:47

I remember a toy or a time or what we did that day from looking at the picture.

SPEAKER_01 11:51

You remember looking through the bars? Maybe I was in jail, but I wasn't.

SPEAKER_02 11:55

But it's funny. I mean, there's a picture of we were just over at Donna Santin's over the weekend, and there was a photo. And I know it's Scotty because I can see his face. And he's sitting in front of a big humongous tree that is in the shape of a what's that bird we just did that room in? Peacock. Yeah. It's in shame in the shape of a peacock. And I swear it's Scotty. But Tyler and I were both looking at it, and he was like, that's not Scotty. He's never been that size. You know, and I was like, I know. I mean, it looks like Scotty, but we don't know where the fuck he was. We don't rem me and Tyler can't remember being there. He was young enough, Tyler would have been there with it. You know what I mean? It's like Did you take a picture of it and send it to Scotty? No, we didn't. Oh. We didn't think that both. What if he remembers? Oh, what if he doesn't? Sand San Francisco. What if they have a picture of a kid that's not Scotty?

SPEAKER_01 12:46

Okay. Now I hate to admit this. I've pulled pictured class pictures. You know, remember when they used to take the picture? There's your teacher and your principal and then the whole class. I've looked at some from second grade that I still have. I don't remember half those people in there. That's why.

SPEAKER_02 12:58

Yeah, but Scotty's my kid. I don't remember who I went to second grade with, but damn. Me and his brother were like, no, I don't know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 13:08

Where were we? Where were you, baby? Because you, as a baby, you looked like Scotty. Are you sure it wasn't you? Oh no, it's not me. It's a boy. How old? You think he is? Eight, nine.

SPEAKER_02 13:16

Oh, so he's pretty old. Yeah, okay. But like Tyler and I should remember taking a picture of Scotty in front of this big ass peacock. Even Tyler's like, that's not him. Is it? Is it him? It looks like him. Where were we? We don't know. So we're just like, we just left it. Like, ah. That's funny. That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 13:34

I want to see that picture. Okay. I'll be right back. You're about to get it before he comes. Yeah. Somehow. I'll have to drop it in the mail or something.

SPEAKER_02 13:41

Oh, yeah. They can send it. Yeah, it's Scott. Or take a picture of it. It has to be Scotty. From this big ass peacock. You know, I'm in the peacocks right now. I can't remember where we were. Oh, that's nothing.

SPEAKER_01 13:51

Stacy is the one that always wants to record everything. The only thing I miss that I regret, but it wasn't an option then, so I don't think of it a lot. I don't feel like I remember my grandmother's voice anymore. And I used to love her voice and to hear her answer the phone, big landline and stuff, and that's one thing I don't have. You know, I have recordings of Scott.

SPEAKER_02 14:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:10

But I don't have my grandmother. And there's no way to go back and get that now. Mm-hmm. I mean, I have plenty of pictures and my memories. Yeah. I think I remember it. But again, I mean remember. You remember lying in a crib, but not your grandmother's voice. Jesus. I know. Isn't that wild? I know I remember being in that crib. I don't think you do. With the pink blanket with the tassels on it.

SPEAKER_02 14:26

We need we need a psychiatrist to listen to our show and like analyze us. Good lord. Or maybe we could switch, we could trade treatment for show. Maybe. I don't give them free advertising, let them come on. And let them do us on do us on the air. Analyze us. That'd be analyze hilarious. Analyze us as we record it and then play it back. I know. Oh my God. Imagine the things we'd have to sign, but that's okay. I can't imagine what they'd say about me. Have you ever forgotten to pay a bill? I am usually really good about the second they come. Or it's one like I won't delete it. So, you know, eventually, you know, I don't like to read my messages or emails or anything else lately. Even yeah, I try not to delete it until it's paid. And then I'll wait for the confirmation. Not only like your bill's scheduled, but the confirmation it's paid, and then I delete all the. I mean, I'm sure back in the day there were things, you know, when the mail mail came. Shit, since I moved up here, I got pulled over in like June or July. That was funny because of this year? Of last year. Uh you didn't tell me. Uh-huh. So anyway. Because you didn't want Jeff to know. No, it was funny because I kept moving out of the way of the cop moving so they could chase the bad guys. I'm moving, they're moving. Well, he just keeps coming. We know I don't do anything. Why did you come home not tell us? Oh my God. Anywho. So then finally I pull in a S V S C or VCS or whatever, C V S. Yeah. I pull in there and uh he, you know, pulls up behind me and like blocks me. I'm like, well, son of a bitch, I'm the bad guy. Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Because I'd already gone like around like moving. I'm just trying to move out of his way. Oh no. And it's me, he was after. Running from the law. I was running from the law.

SPEAKER_01 16:06

But what'd he want you for?

SPEAKER_02 16:07

Um he comes up and he was like, Oh, your tag. Is your is your birthday in April? And I was like, as soon as he said that, I was like, I assume you didn't pull me over to tell me happy birthday.

SPEAKER_01 16:16

I think you mentioned that you didn't pay your uh registration, but I don't think you told me there was a big hole lights and sirens. Oh, it was an ordeal. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:26

So anyway, does Jeff know? But yeah. You got pulled up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that but anyway, it's one of those things that I know every every year my birthday's in April, I fucking tell everybody six months ahead of time. And I'm sure the mail thing, the came thing came and I thought, oh, I'll take care of that. And until that man chased me down and pulled me over, I did not know. Obviously, because I would have fucking paid it.

SPEAKER_00 16:46

I know you would have. I know.

SPEAKER_02 16:48

It's not like we don't Yeah, it's not like I'm not trying to get my car rich.

SPEAKER_00 16:51

We're not rich, but we always pay the bills.

SPEAKER_02 16:53

Yeah, we pay the bills. He told me because they have kiosk here in Georgia, you know, at Kroger and different locations. I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_01 17:00

I'm sitting here nodding. I was like, I had no clue.

SPEAKER_02 17:02

Yeah. So I went to the kiosk and they automatically report it. And then I went to the police station. I showed them proof of my that I just got my thing taken care of that day. And they reduced my ticket by half. Ooh, nice. Still it's a $53 lesson that uh I learned the hard way. Yeah. Because I could prove I took care of and then then I don't have to go to court, I don't have to do anything. Just paid my fine. But I was like, you know, that's like one of the things I know I gotta do it. You know, I mean, you know, they don't care. Oh, it must have got lost in the mail. They don't give a shit. Your registration's due when it's due. Right. Oh, that's funny. Uh running from the law. I was running from the law. I was just so you know how I drive. I was just so convinced. Oh, pardon me. That's my timer. I was so convinced I w hadn't done anything wrong. You know that they weren't after me. So still I thought he was screwed up when he parked behind me. I still it didn't dawn on me. So he came up and said, Ask me about my birthday. I know. I was like, what happened?

SPEAKER_01 17:54

It's like you got a present. I know.

SPEAKER_02 17:56

Your birthday in April.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

So Well soon as that timer went off. Do you set timers all the time to remember?

SPEAKER_02 18:02

No, I just happened to do that this time because I didn't want to forget laundry like I laundries do.

SPEAKER_01 18:07

It'd been funny if you didn't remember what you set it for.

SPEAKER_02 18:10

I remember laundry. See? Yeah. I'm on top of things. But you know I'm gonna forget that timer went off and that laundry's gonna be sitting up there next time you go to use the washing machine.

SPEAKER_01 18:18

I don't I don't know. It's habit for me when I put it in. I mean, sometimes if there's a blanket, you know, it'll run a little bit longer, but I look at the minutes and I'll go and look at the clock before I go sit at the computer, sit down, or whatever I'm doing. So it's rare. You know, I'll kind of look at the clock a couple times. It's rare I forget. Yeah. I don't think I've ever left anything in the dryer.

SPEAKER_02 18:35

I think the reason I'm paying so close attention to this is because it's the m bedding stuff and I want to put it in the dryer and put it back on the bed before I decide to go to bed. Then I gotta make the bed at three o'clock in the morning. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 18:48

And Stacy's mom spent the night. Yeah, that's right. That's what we were talking about forgetfulness last night.

SPEAKER_02 18:53

Yeah, I can't remember because I I was overserved yesterday. Okay. No, I think I drank wine and then I took a whole gummy and I should have taken a half a gummy.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

Oh good Lord.

SPEAKER_02 19:03

I mean, I don't do it every day. Obviously, I'm not acting like that all the time. So it was funny. I mean, it was funny that I don't remember nothing.

SPEAKER_01 19:11

It is, but we talked about not remembering anything. I bet. A little bit, yeah. Yeah. And my other one that's crazy? No. Good. Well, this didn't have to do with forgetfulness, the whole thing about your sandwich. Your mother even kept saying, Hey, I'm putting all this stuff away. Do you want anything? No, no, no. I mean, more than once she asked you, so she puts it all away. It wasn't five minutes when you started saying, I'll have that. Did you put all that away? I want a sandwich. It's like, did you forget you told her no?

SPEAKER_02 19:35

Yeah, I guess. Well, I wasn't ready till I was ready. Good lord. That is funny. No. I guess she went from wiping my butt and feeding me to feeding me, and nobody had to wipe my butt, but we'll get you a crib. You don't remember being in No, you might be having flashbacks of that time you climbed up on the landing on our stairs in the house trying to think you was in jail. That might be what you remembering. It could be. I have that picture somewhere if you want to post it.

SPEAKER_01 19:58

Oh boy. I don't know. I still need to post that um the outline that I wrote. Yeah, no. We could post that picture.

SPEAKER_02 20:05

The kid, we're not sure if it's Scotty or not, and say, if you know this kid.

SPEAKER_01 20:08

Yeah, or where this picture was taken. That's true too. People will chime in on stuff.

SPEAKER_02 20:13

I like to know where that picture was taken, at least. Does it look like a zoo or is something or it kind of looks like a zoo-ish, cypress garden-ish.

SPEAKER_01 20:21

And there's nobody else in the picture. Nobody else in the picture.

SPEAKER_02 20:23

And Scotty actually, if it's Scott, I don't know, it might not be Scotty because he was usually making a dumb face in pictures. And this kid's just standing there. But I thought I remember Scotty having those blue and white shorts that he was wearing. Huh. I know. And why would nobody be in it with him? Usually, you know, we'd take a group photo, and let's I can't imagine an eight-year-old boy going, Mommy, take my picture with a peacock. Maybe it's a field trip.

SPEAKER_01 20:43

They just took a picture of each one, you think? You send him somewhere near me because you don't remember being in the city.

SPEAKER_02 20:50

He was probably one of those kids that I don't remember. Where I just Tyler got in the car and I just took off. Where Scotty's like, hey, where's Scotty?

SPEAKER_01 20:58

I got one more. Did you ever forget any of your children? I'm sure I have. No, I don't know. I did, and it's Camille. I forgot it was early release. And she's sitting up there with Coach Bozeman at Fred Wilde. Oh. I know. And I pull up late and she's sitting there looking all scared. And I'm like, oh no, how'd I forget that baby? Yep, I left Camille. I think every parents done that. But back then, you know, it wasn't online. We actually had calendars that the schools would pass out and they were always on the refrigerator. I looked at that thing every day. I don't know what happened that day to derail me.

SPEAKER_02 21:28

Well, obviously something better than picking up Camille. Sorry, Camille.

SPEAKER_01 21:34

No, I didn't mean to leave you. And we didn't have like easy access to cell phones. You know, if we left the house and they worked on the landline, what didn't we?

SPEAKER_02 21:40

This is funny. Speaking of all that, it reminds me my my nanny, my mom's the oldest, and my n and then there's four boys. Mm-hmm. They had been to shoe shopping. Can you imagine taking five kids? So she did, but anyway, she left one of the um my uncles at the shoe store and left, got all the way to our house and realized that she had left one at the shoe store and went by. Like, you know, obviously, oh my god, we gotta go get him, you know, and drove back up there. And he said, It's okay, mommy. I knew you'd be right back.

SPEAKER_01 22:08

That would have made me feel like shit. I was hoping the story was gonna go whether that kid was like, Oh, I didn't know you guys were gone. Like they're still just looking at stuff and don't even realize. When you have that many, you're bound to forget one.

SPEAKER_02 22:18

I know. We shouldn't have five children.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

No, that's a lot of people.

SPEAKER_02 22:21

And then she helped raise me. God bless her. He was he was my favorite one, and he was the quiet one. So I can imagine he would be the one that if you were gonna leave. Aww. You're trying to get all them rowdy kids up and out of there. You just assume Gary's falling along. That's true. My Gigi. It's okay, mommy. I knew you'd be right back. He didn't even cry or freak out or go up to the like, hello, I can't find my mom.

SPEAKER_00 22:42

I know it is.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

It's funny the things we forget. God bless us. How does that happen? Forget you, baby.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

I know.

SPEAKER_02 22:48

She was a good mom. She was a good mom and a good nanny. She just, you know, was fucking overwhelmed.

SPEAKER_01 22:52

It would be overwhelming to try and especially if you're trying to fit five kids off her shoes that day. I can't imagine. Mm-mm. It's hard enough with one if they're one that like bitches and moans about every little thing.

SPEAKER_02 23:02

I know. I imagine my mom being super calm and kind of like mother henning. And then, you know, but she was young too. And then my uncle Gigi, who Scotty's named after, being all calm and with it, and the rest of them just being wild. Wild animals. Three too many for me. Oh, me too. So poor Scotty. I know. I guess when I show him the picture and be like, is this you? He'll be like, Mom, he's so cute.

SPEAKER_01 23:23

I can't wait to see.

SPEAKER_02 23:24

But I just think it's gonna be hilarious if it's not him. And they've had that picture in their garage and nobody knows who it is. Oh, that's funny.

SPEAKER_01 23:32

Oh, I know. That is hilarious.

SPEAKER_02 23:34

It hasn't been there long because we're over there all the time, but they're cleaning out, you know, certain areas in their house, and I'm sure they just that picture was loose somewhere and they just stuck it up on that little cork board. And well, that's Scotty.

SPEAKER_01 23:45

Uh-huh. Scotty in front of a peacock. I need to go through old pictures now because I wonder if I'll remember everywhere that they were taken.

SPEAKER_02 23:51

I know. Where about that computer home? I can't wait to go through those pictures that are on there because they gotta be old pictures for my old phones and stuff like that. So it'll be interesting. Oh no. See how them babies and how we behaved and makes me a little nervous.

SPEAKER_01 24:03

See, we got off lucky that day when we were um remember we had the karaoke king on and we talked about all the karaoke days and how there are DVDs. We went to watch them and I I was dreading it, thinking, oh my god, what kind of stuff are we gonna see? It was pretty mild. I didn't see what I thought I was gonna see. Now you're making me think evidence is still out there.

SPEAKER_02 24:20

It's on there, something. Anyway, we're gonna go through it and we'll share some funky pictures. Eventually I'll get that one of Scotty and I will uh share that. Maybe if it is Scott, if it is Scotty, at least somebody might know where we were. They might recognize the peacock and be like, you are at da-da-da. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 24:36

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:36

And I gotta ask Scotty, how old do you think you were? And he'll be, Mom, that's not even me. Oh, how old do you think this kid is?

SPEAKER_01 24:43

Because now we know where the picture was taken.

SPEAKER_02 24:46

Yeah. We gotta find that out. We'll post it and just be like, where the fuck were we? I know. Where's Scotty?

SPEAKER_01 24:51

Well, I'm thinking if we get more people writing in on things that they have forgotten, especially things that are detrimental, I would love to hear it. We could do a part two on this easily.

SPEAKER_02 25:00

Oh yeah. We want to hear people's stories because we just feel like we can't be the only people in the world who are living with this syndrome. We're in that window of what the fuck just happened? And I can't remember what just happened or why I'm here.

SPEAKER_01 25:13

This isn't really that deep or anything, but I remember one time at Pizza Hut, my dad forgot his wallet. But we lived close enough to where mom and I just stayed there until he went home to get it. Oh yeah. Came back. So it wasn't. But as a kid, I was probably thinking, are we going to jail? Are they gonna make make us wash dishes? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:28

Oh, all the stuff you ever heard of, oh, you're gonna go wash dishes for that. I know, but mom and I just said never seen a restaurant to let a kid come in and wash dishes, but sure is one of those threats.

SPEAKER_01 25:38

I gotta get back on my outlines.

SPEAKER_02 25:40

Well, we scraped that last one up so badly.

SPEAKER_01 25:42

I know. I am gonna post that because it's like I don't even know who wrote this. Can somebody decipher what's going on here?

SPEAKER_02 25:47

That's bad. We don't know where our pictures were taken, and we don't know what we're trying to write down. And when the fact that we're doing a show on forgetfulness and we can't remember shit sounds perfect.

SPEAKER_01 25:56

I know, you're not kidding. I think we do need to come up with a part two. Oh, we will. Yes, definitely. Write into us. BStudios at myyahoo.com. We want to hear your stories of things that you forgot, and we will put them on the show. We'll use your name if you want us to. If not, keep it anonymous, not a big deal.

SPEAKER_02 26:11

Not a big deal at all.

SPEAKER_01 26:12

I mean, I want the stories like somebody coming home early and somebody forgetting the door was unlocked and catching something they shouldn't see. Oh my god. I do. I want the stories.

SPEAKER_02 26:21

I don't think anything like that's ever happened to me. Thank god. Well, obviously you're not being jail. But anything, crazy or not crazy, if you think it's funny, we'll probably think it's funny. If it's not funny, yeah. If it ended in divorce, we want to know. Yeah, because we'll laugh with you. We'll laugh with some things you just gotta laugh about now. Mm-hmm. After all this time. At the time it wasn't funny, but now it's like fucking hilarious. Oh yeah. Because we don't want to go to jail. No, we don't. I don't like I don't want to. I know. We're saving up for our our memory care. We can't go to jail in the meantime. I don't call it jail as my crib.

SPEAKER_01 26:52

All right, well, we'll go ahead and wrap it up for this minute. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 26:56

All right. That's to wrap on Let's Wine with Brennan Stacy.

SPEAKER_01 27:00
