Welcome to the Dysfunction Junkies podcast. We may not have seen it all, but we've seen enough. And now here are your hosts, Chrissy and Keri.

Kerry: 0:19

All right, welcome back, junkies. I'm Kerry

Chrisy: 0:21

and I'm Chrissy,

Kerry: 0:22

and we have another exciting episode for you today. Yes, we do. Chrissy and I were talking about you know, our childhoods and how we grew up, and we realized in our conversations that, as we grew up, chrissy was unsupervised naughty and she was normalizing naughty when I was. How did we word it? I was naughty, but don't talk about it. Naughty but don't talk about it.

Chrisy: 0:49

I was, and when you did, then there was discussion, maybe, but maybe not so.

Kerry: 0:55

I was like under the radar naughty. Like you know, I was stealth naughty.

Kerry: 1:01

So not here, but that's your story to tell Right Some of my naughty. I mean, they're so tame, especially whenever you compare them to your stories, chrissy but of course, I remember one of the first things that I did as an adult that I was afraid to tell my parents about. So have you ever had anything like you know? Have you ever had this experience where you were like really worried to tell your parents about something as an adult and and you're sitting there telling yourself like I'm an adult, why, what are they going to do to me? Sent me to my room. I live 1200 miles away.

Kerry: 1:32

I got my first tattoo when I was in my late 20s. I was living in Las Vegas. It literally took me probably about three weeks to get the nerve to tell my mom that I got a tattoo. Yes, yeah, because I knew she was going to be mortified, like I knew there was going to be probably rosaries being said and masses being said and holy oil being sent to me in the mail. I just knew like she was not going to take this news well. So I finally got the nerve up and I'm like, oh, mom, you know like we're on the phone and I'm like I really got to tell you something. And she was like, okay, and I could tell she was bracing herself, and I was like, well, I got a tattoo. And then she said, oh, is that all like the sound of relief on her voice? And I was like, what do you? What do you mean? What did you? What did you think she goes? I thought you were gonna tell me you had AIDS.

Chrisy: 2:21

Oh my God, wait, wait.

Kerry: 2:23

okay, so you were in your late 20s, late 20s, so yeah, I guess it was still sort of a thing thing back then, like we talked about before, you know, but she, because I moved to Las Vegas and I was living in Sin City, I don't know what she thought I was doing, but I was like I was mortified, like I was offended. That was what she thought like there were so many other things. I could think I'm like I got a tattoo and like she was what she thought, like, uh, there were so many other things. I could think I'm like I got a tattoo and like she was relieved. She was like, oh, okay, that's fine, it's fine. Yeah, oh, my god, I'm like I I stressed for three weeks about trying to talk to her about this because, you know, we don't talk about things, but I'm like I'm gonna need to tell her because I'm gonna see her and she's gonna see the tattoo and yeah, yeah, so Wow.

Chrisy: 3:05

Wow Boy, oh boy. She really thought you were having the party of a lifetime, I guess, so Move 1,200 miles away, from little country town.

Kerry: 3:15

Just to get AIDS. It didn't matter that at the time I was working with lions and putting my life in danger physically by working with lions and everything.

Chrisy: 3:24

You thought you'd step it up a notch and then put yourself out there to get a deadly disease. Yeah, exactly.

Kerry: 3:28

Wow, I mean I don't know what she thought I was doing on the side. I wasn't, but anyway. Yeah, but I was and I'm, like you know here it stems back to like whenever I was, you know, 16 and breathing in pain, and she thought I was having sex and she never looked at me the same. I guess it stemmed from that. She still thought something was going on. I don't know.

Chrisy: 3:50

Boy, all that religion and people, it sort of does give people the unfortunate nature to just think that everybody is out there doing well, obviously, having a lot of fun. And they're not. Oh my but yeah, that was, uh, that was crazy times, crazy times. Well, yeah, I would say so, and we try to talk a little bit before we were gonna do this and I have to tell everybody out there that it's very hard to pry anything naughty out of carrie.

Chrisy: 4:25

She obviously just never had it. I love this sheltered life. Well, it's not shelter, but I think just because again probably watched too much tv and this was totally influenced to do bad things, especially since nobody was monitoring what I was watching, so I was probably watching things that I shouldn't have been anyhow, so it was all normalized.

Kerry: 4:48

All the bad things were normalized.

Chrisy: 4:49

Oh my God, look at how much fun these people are having. They like almost stabbed each other and I mean I know everybody talks about the toys that we had and they're dangerous and you know we used to do dangerous things and we did and it was like fine. So maybe that's why some parents were a little bit more numb to anything crazy. Well, one of my first things I'll never forget, because it was so horrible, what I did not supervised. I was with a neighborhood kid, one of the neighborhood kids. Was it Chrissy Pissy?

Kerry: 5:18

The boys that call you Chrissy. No, no, it was a girl.

Chrisy: 5:20

It was a neighborhood girl, it was somebody else. It was a little bit after all that we were actually in my grandfather's basement and my grandfather's basement for the longest time was sort of like almost locked in this like frozen state of like 1968 maybe, like nothing had been changed and there were like cabinets down there and they had a fruit cellar which is where they used to keep canned goods and other stuff. It was just horrible. I mean, the basements were kind of the house wasn't real old but it was from the 50s but old enough.

Chrisy: 5:55

Perfect, dark, cryptic place it was, yeah, it was just grandpa wasn't going to come down there because he wasn't walking real well, my grandmother had passed away by then. There was a pool table down there because he wasn't walking real well.

Kerry: 6:04

My grandmother had passed away by then. There was a pool table down there, so you could usually use as an excuse as to why you were over Gramps in the basement unsupervised.

Chrisy: 6:10

The cabinets had like old canned goods in them. Yeah, like way expired.

Kerry: 6:13

Yeah.

Chrisy: 6:14

Like why would you open this? I should have kept them, though, because you can make money selling those on eBay. No, I didn't before you, because I know we get into it Chrissy keeps too much stuff but I remember there being a box of this substance that was in little round balls that was crystallized, oh god, and round and pretty, oh god. It looked like sugar to me, but I knew that it wasn't something I wanted to try. So, hey, hey, mikey, oh no, although this was not the person's day, I'm just playing off of the commercial for a life cereal.

Chrisy: 6:50

Hey, these are sugar cubes. Oh my God, do you want to try one? Chrissy, absolutely Took the sugar cube slash. No, it was not a sugar cube. And again, yes, this is awful. Everyone I am so sorry. And again, yes, this is awful, everyone I am so sorry, kind of. I mean I would have been more sorry if something horrible had happened. She took it, oh my God, like Snow White taking the apple, put it in her mouth and spit that damn thing across the floor so quick. And, oh my God, it was a mothball.

Chrisy: 7:24

Oh my God, I didn't really even know for sure.

Kerry: 7:27

You didn't realize at the time it wasn't a mothball. Well, you didn't know. But you knew.

Chrisy: 7:33

Well, I mean, how much honesty, oh my God, I mean, how much honesty do I want to play out here? So yeah, so horrible, horrible. But remember back then late 70s, early 80s, nobody was telling you you need to lock this crap up because you got stupid kids who will look at this and say you know, they talk about those Tide Pods, all those like wash, those things that the kids are eating because it looks like candy, which I won't have in my house. I'm still liquid detergent girl.

Kerry: 8:04

Chrissy started the trend years earlier with mothballs.

Chrisy: 8:06

Well, yeah, it started there Mothballs, time pods. Yeah, it's bad, it's all bad. Oh my God, chrissy. So that poor kid. I don't really remember playing with her after that. No Kind of thought it was funny, though. I mean, if we're being honest and I want everybody out there who is taking time to listen to our wonderful show to know that I will never lie to you no, she will not, I will not. It might be painful, but damn it, I'm not going to lie.

Kerry: 8:34

And so yeah, oh crazy, you don't have anything like that. No, the worst thing I did as a child was I mean seriously, I know, I know it's sheltered life- oh, I thought you were gonna give me something good, come on.

Kerry: 8:48

Was our school was. I was in second grade and our school was having one of those readathons, you know, and they used to pass around like the pamphlet and if, oh, if, you read this many books and raise this much money, you'd get this little prize. And then, if you did more, you got this prize. Well, they had this little plush puppy dog. That was like a little sleuth dog or something. I wanted that so bad. You did.

Kerry: 9:14

I did so. I wrote on the little sign up sheet. I thought I was being creative and signed all these names, like trying to hide my handwriting and stuff, and I turned my little sheet in after, like you know, a couple weeks of here. Look, I earned enough to get this little plushie dog. Well, they turned the paperwork in. A couple weeks later they passed out the prizes. Oh, carrie read like 20 books I don't know how many it was and raised so much money. And here's your little plushie dog. I was so excited that I won this little plushie dog. I did not read one book, did not read any of it. Well, I got home and I'm like well, I can't take this plushie dog in the house. My mom's gonna wonder where did you buy this? Because you know we didn't have any money and so I didn't get no allowance I'm amazed that she paid that much attention to you.

Kerry: 9:57

She was like able to track some new toy coming into our home yeah, yeah, she would have, because you know, again, we didn't have a lot, so something brand new and shiny and plushy, we would have noticed it. So I hid it under the steps in the garage, okay. Well, a couple weeks later the school sent home an envelope and they were like you know, give this to your mom when you get home. So I gave it to my mom. Well, here it was the bill for like the whatever $200 or whatever that I was supposed to have gotten from people, all those fake names. So she found out and actually she never. She never confronted me and said what is this? But she somehow found the plushie dog and then what did she do?

Chrisy: 10:37

She returned. She didn't return your dog, did she?

Kerry: 10:40

Ah, you know what I think they did? Because I never I don't, I never had the plushie dog after that, and I think she ended up. I had a little like savings account, like you know, from my first Holy Communion money or whatever, and so she took the money out of that to pay for it. So I lost my first Holy Communion money and I didn't have the plushie dog. Yeah, oh my, that was my big crime, that was my big sin.

Chrisy: 10:59

No, the bigger crime is. Your punishment did not fit the crime. What, my God? First of all, you were that creative. Nowadays they would say look at how creative my kid is. They made up all this BS to get something they want. Tried to disguise her handwriting. They know that hard work equals you get what you want. But then then punishment. I know you took all that time to fill out that form you had the dog you fell in love with it. I bet you named it.

Kerry: 11:29

I probably did and you were trying to keep it safe by keeping it hidden. Actually you know where I put it it was a refugee in your house. The stairs I put it on was the stairs. Our collie dog had puppies under, so you know that's.

Chrisy: 11:46

I guess that's why I put it oh, maybe you thought it would have puppies if it was there.

Kerry: 11:48

Yeah, because you know you just opened the barn door and puppies happened oh my god. But then to take your money? Yeah well, they had to pay. They had to pay up. The school was sending that invoice, pay up uh, no, the parents obviously that's a failure on their part they.

Chrisy: 11:59

They need to pay Now. Don't take your kids communion money or whatever. They took my communion money.

Kerry: 12:04

Wow, oh my God, I know, I know it doesn't compare to you know, poisoning the neighborhood kid, no, but the funny part about it is my little pristine life up until I was, you know, in my 20s, was and I was applying for a job in a police department for working in animal control, and part of this is a big background check. And they want to know all your sins. They want to know all the drugs that you took. They want to know everything you got to fill out this form I mean, it's a thick pack. They want to know your driver's license number. Well, you know, here's me, you know, trying to be a little dishonest and perfect, like I'm digging through every like house application, anything to try to find all my drivers, like pert near pretty much did now. Now, in hindsight, I'm like they don't really expect you to have all your driver's license numbers but, whatever.

Kerry: 12:51

They're just looking to see for honesty or whatever, whatever. So when it came time to like did you ever take drugs? No. Did you ever do this? No. Did you ever do this? No, did you ever do this, whatever? Well, this was like my only story of like did you ever steal anything, and so I put this.

Kerry: 13:06

I'm like oh no, this does not so they had a heart that they kept like. They thought I was lying. It was like being in that that room with the, with everybody looking at me when I was reading, in pain, thinking I was lying whenever I said I didn't have sex and couldn't be pregnant. It was the same flashback because they kept thinking you have to be lying because no one could be this good and I'm like I really really was, and so like I had to do the lie detector test. Oh my God, oh yeah, they put me up. First they did the voice control one and then they do the whole thing where they hook you all up, all the hooks and everything, and they finally determined that yeah, I was little sally, do good and didn't have any. Worst thing I did was steal a little sleuth puppy from the read-a-thon.

Kerry: 13:50

They made you the sergeant of the but it was just terrible and I remember being so stressed out I was like I wish I could tell you I did something bad, but I didn't.

Chrisy: 14:01

So well that reminds me a little bit. Real quick, just a little offset of that. When you have to tell people something, being young, going through Catholic education, when you make your, I believe they called it reconciliation. Oh yeah, confessions, confession, yeah, confession. Tell me, your sins. First of all, confession to a crime. Get confession when you're in. What is it?

Chrisy: 14:24

third grade yeah, yeah, eight, yeah what do you want me to tell you? I did, now me might have done something. Was it worth confessing in my mind? Poison the neighbor with well I didn't think that I don't remember that being on the uh. Commandments or whatever list we used to be getting.

Kerry: 14:42

Thou shalt not poison me. That was number 11. There wasn't room on the stone.

Chrisy: 14:45

Yeah, but you would. Well, I'm not going to talk about it for everybody, but I'm just going to say right now, I lied. Yeah, so I'm in this room with this flipping, completely off-putting figure, very dominant, a man in a robe with a white collar thing. What? In a robe with a white collar thing? What's going on? Hello Lied to him. You lied in confession.

Kerry: 15:03

I lied in confession Now.

Chrisy: 15:04

I'm. Where does this end? Now, I'm definitely in trouble. Not only did I screw up confession, I lied to a priest, but I didn't confess that I should have lied and said something. I just lied to you.

Kerry: 15:15

Okay, good, I feel better now, I just lied to you.

Chrisy: 15:17

I lied to you. Okay, good, I feel better now. I just lied to you.

Kerry: 15:22

Were you in the face-to-face or were you in the?

Chrisy: 15:24

screen. Always that screen thing I didn't want to. What are you doing over there? What are you doing over there? What is happening?

Kerry: 15:31

It goes with the family profile If I'm going to sit here and talk to you.

Chrisy: 15:35

I'm going to talk to you. You need to look at me. I am not going to go behind some goo goo. Where the hell did that come from? It's very entertaining when you see it in film and stuff. I love it, yeah, but it's ridiculous in real life. That's the only way I would ever go. But do you think they really don't know who you are? I know that, but then they can't.

Kerry: 15:55

They know you, I know I know it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it is so no.

Chrisy: 15:59

And then I never had that thing you had to say afterwards ever.

Kerry: 16:02

Oh, the act of contrition. What?

Chrisy: 16:04

What I used to just sit there and hope that their voice was louder than mine. Oh, they said it with you, were they supposed to?

Kerry: 16:11

I don't know they never did. You know why they were saying it with me? Because you didn't know it.

Chrisy: 16:17

So I would just sit there and mumble.

Kerry: 16:20

It sounded like I was saying something and they were just like well, she's just really quiet, she talks really quiet and she was saying the bless us, oh Lord, he's like I was like that's the prayer. I was like I want pizza, I want this, I don't want to be here, I'm looking at you. No, it was crazy.

Chrisy: 16:37

Confession's crazy, even when I was in church when I was little.

Kerry: 16:41

Yeah.

Chrisy: 16:41

I didn't know all the words to those songs. Yeah, you, you sung them every week all the time. And then, when you were in Catholic school, you had to go to church during school days for certain things. Yes, once a week. So then you just learn to make it look like you're singing. Everybody else seems to know what's going on here.

Kerry: 17:04

Let them cover up and do the end. That's that. But yeah, so yeah, the whole uh admitting and all that. That's crazy. It's crazy. So when you so okay, that was younger what was your more cryptic things when you got older?

Chrisy: 17:09

well, as I, got a little older. There was one friend in the neighborhood and again, if she does listen she's going to remember this stuff because I just was always somewhat ornery and required attention, because when you're the youngest there is some level of attention you get, naturally, yes, and then either you sort of just take that as I don't like that, or you're like I have to have it all the time. Yeah, I wanted to have attention a lot, so I would generally try to do as much as I could to get it. So I remember one time riding bikes with my friend, okay, and we were both sort of being you know whatever kids were riding up the street and popping wheelies and I'm trying to, I'm trying to ride faster and I'm trying to get her in my dust.

Chrisy: 17:53

And and uh, she's trying to keep up, but she was a little younger than me and I decided to slam on my brakes because she was like catching me and I'm like well, I'm just going to stop, stop, see what she does.

Chrisy: 18:04

Maybe she'll roll down the hill. Oh God, stop, drop and roll she did. First of all she slammed into my bike. But OK, I had a big old bike. It was like from my sister's bike. It was a three speed Schw, schwin. It was the most disgusting bike, but it was. It was like a solid. It was an old, a good old, reliable. Oh my, you know bike, you weren't gonna get hurt on that. So she flips down the hill with her bike and she, you know, trying to recover, comes up the hill and she's like dusting herself off and I look and there's blood running down her hand and her arm. I said, oh my God, you're bleeding. Why would you be bleeding? We got a bleeder and her fingernail is just dangling at the roots.

Chrisy: 18:54

I'm cringing, oh, Chris, and I was like wow, that's insane. You lost your fingernail through that. How did that happen? Well then she sees it and totally freaks out. Why are you freaking out? What's going on here? Now you're being loud and now we're getting attention for the wrong reasons. You're hysterical, so I was sitting there going look it's okay. This happens to me all the time. Look at my nails.

Kerry: 19:21

Look at my nails.

Chrisy: 19:22

They rip out all the time. It's not a big deal. Just suck it up. Let's get your bike going. We'll get to my mom's house. My mom will bandage you up, you'll be fine. Oh my gosh. So what do I do? Well, I'm moving faster than her. I'm like out of there because she's she's screaming and yelling. Everybody's looking, coming out of their house. There's a kid in the street yelling what's the matter? She's crying the whole way. I'm like are you gonna come? And finally she makes it to my house because I had been there like 10 minutes earlier and I'm like are you gonna come in and get that thing washed off, or what are you doing? Oh, my, she's like no, I just want to go home. I want to go to my mom. I got to go see.

Kerry: 19:57

So I'm sitting on the porch.

Chrisy: 19:59

Now, you know, my entertainment for the afternoon is gone. And then there goes her car with her mom up the street off to emergency. Oh God, bye, okay, you took the easier route, okay, and then she'd come back and it was like she had no fingernail on that hand, but thank God she was able to regrow, I guess, a fingernail. I hope she was. I should have asked. And then, unfortunately, the same girl you would think she'd learned, and I think that her mother did used to make her take breaks from me because they just knew.

Kerry: 20:33

I wonder why.

Chrisy: 20:42

Is this the same girl you fed the poison? No, no, no, no, no, no new victim. No, yeah, oh yeah. They moved away, and then this one was there. It was like time to break you in, honey. We were, uh, playing basketball on my driveway and I never was allowed to have a hoop uh so you just had to sort of wing it yeah and pretend you had a hoop.

Chrisy: 20:55

My father was, I was a girl. Oh, there was no reason for me to have of wing it and pretend you had a hoop. My father was, I was a girl. There was no reason for me to have a hoop, and he didn't want to have to cut grass around it or have to wheel it into his, depending it wasn't happening, but it didn't stop us from playing basketball.

Chrisy: 21:07

So we were playing and we're getting rough and we're yanking the ball from each other and I must have jarred her finger. It was typical. Again, I didn't do it on purpose.

Kerry: 21:16

What is it with you and this girl's fingers?

Chrisy: 21:18

Just didn't want her to have them.

Kerry: 21:19

I guess what did you do? Did you break her finger?

Chrisy: 21:22

Well, I don't think it was broken, but it was badly sprained, probably pushed back. And again it was just both of us in that case, probably Me stopping my bike right away. That was on me right away, that was on me. But this was just a natural course of events kids can run into. But again, crying, drama, hello, why are you upset? Just suck it up. You want to some a splint? I bet you. My mom got a splint in the house she's a nurse she's a nurse.

Chrisy: 21:47

She was a nurse, come on, uh no, I just want to go home see my mom. Oh my god always go dead again. I gotta wait for you to show up back. There goes the car, pass me on the porch, send me with my ball. All alone now it's all about me. Hello, while you go get fixed up, comes back, got a splint, got a whole thing. It's really bad spring. Oh my God. Okay, god, all right.

Kerry: 22:13

Did you realize how dysfunctional this was? As a child it was. Your behavior was a little bit, I mean. I know mine was just as dysfunctional, but in a quiet, passive, non-hurting other people way.

Chrisy: 22:30

If I wasn't hearing you screaming, it had no meaning. There you go, put that on a shirt. If you ain't screaming, it has no meaning. There you go, put that on a shirt. If you ain't screaming, it has no meaning to me.

Kerry: 22:41

So scream, honey, because that now you're playing with chrissy you on chrissy time now so yeah, wow yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was so afraid of getting in trouble, like I, that I that's why I was always trying to do everything right. I didn't want to bring any attention to me. I wanted I didn't want to, you know had to follow the rules, had to be behaved like, even as an adult, like you know gosh I mean, I don't really speed. You know've only gotten like two speeding tickets in my life and they were like stupid ones, like just barely over, you know, 20 or 31 in a 25 or something.

Kerry: 23:21

I mean, I'm serious, I know it sounds pretentious, but but anytime even I see the cops coming up behind me and I see their lights, I get anxious and I'm like, why am I getting anxious? I wasn't doing anything wrong. But I'll never forget one of the craziest things used to handle big cats. When I was in Las Vegas, at nighttime on the strip, the one hotel, the Tropicana, had these two tigers on display outside. I worked for the magician that owned these tigers, and him and another guy. We would go at night and we would have to get these tigers and bring them home. So we had a, you know big rolling crates and we put them in this trailer and then we would drive to a north part of town where, where the guy's compound was and where the animals were housed. In nighttime, driving down the strip with these two tigers in the back, you know, people couldn't see what was in the trailer. It's just a big trailer.

Kerry: 24:06

We uh stop at a light and we get rear-ended from behind. We get out. I mean, we hardly felt. I mean we felt the bump, but you know we. So we get out. Well, here, of course, the guy that hit us, his car, is all crunched up, oh jeez. So the cops come and I'm freaking out and I'm like, first of all, I was the passenger, I wasn't even driving the car but I was terrified because I'm like, oh my god, we're gonna get into, like why are we gonna get in trouble?

Kerry: 24:29

I have no idea why I had this fear. Anyways, the cops come, they said to to me and the gentleman that was with us and uh he was like you guys, you guys doing okay, like are you uh kind of smells a little funny back here, like he thought we were smoking weed, thought we were high and what?

Chrisy: 24:47

what do you mean?

Kerry: 24:47

you were the one that got hit I know, but he thought we were the one somehow that caused it, because the odor that was coming from the trailer, and apparently from us, smelled like weed. And so we're like he goes what's in the trailer? And we're like, well, we have two tigers in there. And he's like, do you want to go see? He didn't believe us. Well, tiger piss does kind of smell like weed so we're like, no, really, there's, there's two tigers in there.

Kerry: 25:14

And he's like, um, you sure you're not high. And he's like assholes. And we're there's, there's two tigers in there. And he's like you sure you're not high. And he's like, as we're like, no, really, there's two tigers in there, cop didn't believe us. So then he, you know, like, well, we can open it up, but there's two tigers in there. So we, finally we he was not believing us. He totally thought we were high because of how bad everything reeked, of what he thought was pot. So we were like, okay, we'll, we'll open up the trailer. So we opened up the trailer and there's these two big white tigers staring at him and they're like okay, um, yeah, I guess you're right, buckle it all up, give the guy that hit us a ticket for hitting us, you know?

Kerry: 25:51

and we went on our merry way I know, but I was the whole time. I was terrified because I thought we were going to somehow be in trouble and, like we didn't do anything wrong, we were just, you know, minding our business, hauling tigers around las vegas. This is just what was ingrained in me as a child, that you know. It was just that fear of god, fear of authority.

Chrisy: 26:12

You, you just said it. Yep, as you can tell, I didn't have that kind of fear Lying to priests.

Kerry: 26:20

So yeah, so that kept me clean for most of my life, well, but now I'm boring.

Chrisy: 26:28

No, I can sit here and laugh at your story. We all need.

Kerry: 26:33

Do you?

Chrisy: 26:34

have any cop stories to share? Well, I do, when we all need. Do you have any cop stories to share? Well, I do.

Kerry: 26:39

When after we were friends, yeah, and then we sort of weren't on the same path at that moment, right, which was good for you and that might have been why we stopped not really stopped being friends, but I was probably terrified to be around you because I was worried you were gonna get in trouble.

Chrisy: 26:55

Oh, yeah, you probably were, but and can't blame me for that. But yeah, first of all, my mother went to ysu as a adult non-traditional I was always sick of people saying, no, you look just like your mom you look, I don't think I really. I mean, there's resemblance. Of course you look resemble your parents, but might you might sometimes, maybe, I don't know she had a ysu id.

Chrisy: 27:15

Oh boy now you're mom's id well, here's, I'm just gonna you know what. Come at me, bro. I don't know what to tell you. It just I was under, so I guess I'm under the age as an adult you can't try me maybe, but although what I was statute of limitations.

Chrisy: 27:30

Well, hopefully but my mom had a ysu d and she didn't keep it anywhere where I couldn't access it, and then I think she wasn't even going anymore. So now it was just a wasted opportunity and I was going to take it. So I got it and the way the clubs or I wouldn't call them clubs the nightlife on, the campus worked was you could get in if you had a college ID. Now, if you couldn't prove how old you were, yeah, you couldn't drink.

Kerry: 27:59

They would stamp your hand, oh okay now, who's paying attention, those stamps?

Chrisy: 28:04

after a while who knows what what one stamp means the other but the way to cover that was to have somebody with you who was very well and I mean very, very well acquainted with whoever was working the door you had an in. Whoever was the DJ? Whoever was the bartender? Maybe the manager?

Kerry: 28:25

If you had a friend who was very well acquainted with these people.

Chrisy: 28:30

Right, that was your backup if that ID failed. Okay, so you found a backup. Oh yeah, she was lovely and I thank her, she was able to make sure we always had a good time yeah, and we were not age enough to have that kind of good time, oh we did we did, we did.

Chrisy: 28:49

But one time I was with her, yeah, and she called me up and insisted, insisted, and sometimes you had to give in because you know she was working her end of the deal. Yeah, so you had to give in because you know she was working her end of the deal, so you had to give in once in a while.

Kerry: 28:58

Yeah.

Chrisy: 28:58

She wanted to go to a haunted house. That was probably about I don't know, like 45 minutes to an hour away from where we live Okay, but it was like the place to go for people our age I guess. I don't like haunted houses. I never understood the concept. It was kind of ridiculous. It was loud. It was just unhappy all the way around. As much as I like Halloween, that's what I can't wrap my brain around this.

Kerry: 29:18

You love Halloween, you love horror movies, but you didn't want to go to a haunted house.

Chrisy: 29:23

No, because it's usually so hokey and if maybe today because we have so many things that we can decorate with, they're so much better. 30 plus years ago it was crap.

Kerry: 29:31

I'm surprised you didn't want to go just to like snub people like you did at the mall.

Chrisy: 29:35

Well, no, because everybody has a mask on, nobody can tell I'm snubbing them. I mean, well, they can tell I'm snubbing them, but I can't see who they are, so chances are I'm not going to snub you All right, so you were going to go to this, so we were going to go to this and I was outside of where we lived, on our way to get on the freeway to get going and I don't know.

Chrisy: 29:59

I guess she was speeding and she went on this road where everybody used to get picked up. The cop saw us and pulled us over. Her license plates were expired on her car and I think we both kind of knew that and I was sitting in the passenger seat and I was like please arrest her, please. I just want to go home.

Kerry: 30:20

I really don't want to go anywhere.

Chrisy: 30:22

Can you arrest? I mean, don't hurt her, don't just keep her there for a little bit and get me. Can you give me a ride home? Is that part of the deal? If you arrest her, will I go home or do I have to go with her? Because Because that might be a deal- breaker.

Kerry: 30:34

Now there's a problem.

Chrisy: 30:35

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was sitting there the whole time really wishing someone was going to get arrested Not me, her and when the officer found out that we did not go to the high school in his town, that we went to a Catholic high school at the other town, he let us off with a warning Because he hated the kids that lived in his town. And I was like, oh man, can I just lie to you now and tell you I am in your town and I do go to the school, although then I'm in trouble, and she's not, because she's not gonna lie to you.

Kerry: 31:10

So I had to go to the haunted house but that just so defines us exactly how they were. Because, you know, here's me all terrified of the cops, even in my 20s. And then here's you are like totally normalized cops. You were wanting somebody to get arrested yeah, I was like oh good, yay, we're getting pulled over the police are here.

Chrisy: 31:30

Maybe they'll work in my favor, uh, you know, or chit chat, or give us a ticket. Yeah, yeah, yeah see.

Kerry: 31:37

Now, sometimes I wonder, though like you know what you know, that was the things that we did or we experienced. But like what are our kids? You know? What are their stories going to be going as, as they get older? What's their podcast stories gonna be about, you know?

Chrisy: 31:53

I don't know. I mean, I'm sure they're gonna have their stuff and it's gonna be funny for them and we're gonna be those older people that just don't get it.

Kerry: 32:02

Yeah which is really sad to think about. Take me out my pinewood box, but um so I think we were pretty lucky.

Chrisy: 32:09

Yeah, we were, because we kind of came out of some of that time, uh, reasonably, yeah, unscarred yeah, well, well, no, we're very we're scarred. Dysfunction, at least we can say live to tell the tale.

Kerry: 32:24

We haven't seen it all, but we've seen it up. Oh yeah. Well, this was fun, kind of walking down memory lane a little bit, kind of getting into our personalities a little bit more.

Chrisy: 32:34

Oh, yeah, I'm sure everybody has me figured out really quick here I'm boring no, no, you're reasonable and smart.

Kerry: 32:45

And then there's a goofy chick and she's always gotta get in trouble and have the attention yeah, that's me I'll say a rosary for you. Oh boy, don't do that, all right. Well, hey, whenever, uh, on our facebook page, let's hear some of the crazy things that you all did as kids did you poison your neighborhood. Well, friend okay not full.

Chrisy: 33:13

Please don't admit to any crimes. We don't want that.

Kerry: 33:16

Did you have to send your neighborhood kids to the emergency room every time you had a play date, yeah? Or were you the one that was just terrified of doing anything wrong, that you lived the sheltered life? Even in your 20s or 30s? You were terrified of the cops, even though they didn't do anything wrong. Right, right, right, all right. Well, hey, thanks for joining us.
