Call It What It Is with Jessica Capshaw and Camille Leuttington, an iHeartRadio podcast. Hi Call It Crew, Hello, Camill Leuttington. We got another episode of Call It Short and Sweet.
I know this one's already making me giggle.
I know this one made me giggle looking at it as we were about to do it. But speaking of short and sweet, it was just revealed to me that, I mean, I don't know who came up with it first and who cares, but Sabrina Carpenter's about to drop an album and it's called short and Sweet. Do you know what I'm really under her right now?
I we did our short and sweet, we called her things short and sweet, and then maybe two weeks later I realized that sure thing of short and sweet. Although I feel like maybe I think hers was out before ours, but.
I don't care. I will share it with Sabriena and carpa me or steal.
It from support Carpenter feel it.
I know, well, you know what, let's just let's look at it this way. We're just amplifying and making more familiar. What's going to be awesome, which is this new album? I'm psyched about it.
No me too. And also if she ever wants to come on here.
Oh she's so welcome.
Bring the short and sweet on the short and sweet yes, yes, two together, tow together.
Okay, this one made me laugh so hard because it brought out so many This topic today brought out so many different hilarious memories of my childhood and or residual things that I do now that So the topic is things that you've done your whole life that you think are totally normal, that if you ever talk to other people about there like that's that's not normal. No one
else does that. So so really these are our parents or our families, traditions or values around certain things that we were that we were grown in and wempletely have you know, processed as normal, and then when we went out into the world, the world said, that's.
Really not normal, absolutely not.
And the thing that really inspired this is a BuzzFeed article.
That just that truly we need to put in the notes or something because it's actually genuinely worth a read.
It is it's called I Okay, it's the title of it. I genuinely feel sorry for these sixteen adults who went through life thinking they were normal until someone was like, literally, what the are you doing?
And they really cracked me up.
I just think that our crew is so smart. The questions being asked are so smart, and so, I don't know, I just think they're so interesting and so multi layered, and I'm so I'm just really compelled by all of it. And so when we got these submissions for things that might have been like that in our crew's lives, there are some really and funny things. And if you're down to start with.
That, I'm down.
I'm gonna start with that because I was going to mention this one I just thought was so disgusting. Now, someone in the BuzzFeed article talked about how they grew up mixing milk and coke.
Oh, and drinking milk and coke.
Yeah, just so gross. But it's kind of like a root beer float. It's like a melted root beer float, melted coke float? Is that?
So maybe it's maybe it's kind of I get, you know what it's not. It's not not similar.
So the first one I read, I'll so okay. So the first one was from Clara and she wrote in and she said, I thought it was super normal to have ketchup on my tacos growing up, it indeed is not. I will reveal something about my younger you're Clara, So did I? I used to put ketchup on my tacos. I know I had, I had buried the memory and then I read this and I went, oh, meet same girl.
Same I did the same thing. And then I stopped doing it because I must have done it as like a teenager in front of someone who said, that's so disgusting and you need to throw that ketchup bottle and get it far away from your taco. But yeah, I did it.
That's really fun. Did you have ketchup with your eggs? I don't know if that's a British.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well the ketchup on the tacos came from my dad. He would get those like taco It would be like taco kit night because again, oh yeah, Dad, you would. He would get had everything in one box and it would But then you know, clearly the ketchup wasn't in the box.
We got that special, so maybe the sauce was missing. It. It's a tomato tomato tomato.
It's a tomato based condiment. You just drizzled that all over that taco it wasn't good.
Question where it was really good.
Because it had a little sweet component.
Yeah, I can see now, Jessica Capshaw taco ketchup on the shelves, on.
The shells bombs.
Okay, you go with The next one actually says if I got home after curfew, the house would be locked and I would have to sleep in my car several times.
That's like, huh.
They would like to prove a point.
They want to prove a point.
But do you I wonder if I actually started to be like, well, I'm going to bring a pillow.
Yeah, thank it, because I know it's gonna be a two a m or yeah.
Yeah, I actually thought the same thing, like maybe a little sleepover bag on those nights, yeah, car stash.
From the from the window, whatever the whole situation. I'm unbothered.
But by the way, if the lesson is safety, I'm not sure your kid is safer. It's not sleeping in a car. And yeah, okay, well you know what, I really really really this this this one resonated for me and for my daughter Eve. Okay, so anonymous because she just couldn't share he could not possibly cop to this.
Uh.
I used to pronounce Chanelle as Channel until I was eighteen years old. I'm with Dior.
Uh.
Well, you know what this does remind me of recently when I was trying to be cool and I was like.
You, guys, Chappelle Rowan is so amazing.
And I do think she's amazing, but nobody told me what was Chapel and I was going around announcing it to gen z.
This one hurts me because this feels like a recent again for myself.
Yeah, yeah, was it. I think it was the it's the two l's that I think because it's the two ls. Yeah, and she didn't sound roomy. I I don't. I'm I'm back yup on that one. I'm gonna back Yeah. No door I or and Versace would be versic. Oh we had, okay, I mean this is my time stuff. Yeah, I mean but you have to have like Louis. Yeah, exactly, Yeah, for sure. So there's a new one. There's a new high end luxury.
Uh you're gonna say you you do, don't you because you said it in Paris. You said it in Paris and.
I was like, no, you're wrong.
You're like no, you're definitely wrong.
Yeah. So so I was somewhere fancy and you know, you know, me just making friends. And this woman had this beautiful handbag and I said, oh my, and it's it was a handbag and on the handbag it said the name of designer, which was l O E W E. And I said, oh my gosh, your low bag is so cool. And she looked at me. She was not being mean, by the way, I don't think, but she looked at me and she said, oh, you mean my lauave bag.
It's just not in my mind.
I was like, no, no, your low bag.
Because we were in powers and I was like, I love Low and you're like, actually, and with a laver it was like, none of that makes sense.
There's no be in sight.
There's so many.
Bees added to the name of Oh god, oh my god, you get this one. And I'm so jealous because this one's funny.
A go Cary says, my parents gave me a shot of BlackBerry brandy every night from the age of two to help me sleep or ease any pain I had.
Looking back, that was a normal parenting.
You think every night you by the way your face is looking like someone gave you some kind of brandy. Did someone give you, Brandy when you were a kid.
Well, my grandma was irish and a little whiskey okay, cured anything.
Yep, yep, I thought it in your face.
I know, I was like, but not every night.
I wasn't getting a little shot before I went into my little rib.
Yeah wait.
No, But you know what I did think was normal growing up is that my mom made me tea like milk and tea like a caffeine tea in my baby bottle and I have pictures of it.
And I would drink tea as a baby.
Not like you know, not your legs as a brit Yeah, okay, Hallie said, I thought that you had to hit your head eight times on your pillow each night in order to get eight hours of sleep. And she did it for years, And I'm just envisioning her on her pillow going back and forth eight times like I want to.
I think the visuals are you head budding? Yeah?
Like it's your head like flipping a pancake your head or are you fool like, oh oh you think like forehead down?
Well, I don't know if it's like a head butt. Oh you've just signed as a pancake. But we really don't know, no, we don't.
Hi.
Well, Hallie, I hope that you are The screen is okay, that is a little bit dramatic.
Okay, this anonymous had made me laugh. We did road trips growing up.
We would dry for.
Hours in silence, no talking, no music. Not that, by the way, dream come true? I wish as a kid.
I know this one made me want to interview. This one made me want to interview this person's parents for wisdom. For that wisdom, How did you how did you pull that off?
Yeah, I asked my I wrote my siblings this morning and I said, what is I can't think.
What is something that we grew up with that was just we thought was really normal and.
It really isn't Asia as an adult, and my sister wroke back immediately.
She said, getting to the airport five hours early. We it didn't matter if the flight was fifteen minutes.
We got to go there twelve hours before.
By the way, that was that your mom or your dad that led that pain?
My dad?
Yeah, my seilings are just going off on this text right now.
So in the kitchen this morning, I was talking. I was talking to the girls about this, and one of them had to sleep over in. She said, oh, oh, you know what happened in my family one time? And I said, sure, yeah, what happened to your family? She said, well, my dad told my sister that he had put a chip in her brain so he would know when she lied, and my sister had a three hour meltdown screaming, get it out.
My god.
That's actually like I fel oh, you know what this reminds me.
I don't know if you've ever seen chea cheaty bang bang. Have you seen chetty cheaty banging.
A long time ago?
For sure, there's a terrible villain in it. He's super creepy. His name is a child catcher.
My dad told us that he had the child catcher's phone number, and this guy is like so creepy, we'll have to like figure.
Out a picture of him and put him up.
And so if we were everyone in trouble, he would be like, I'm gonna call him.
And it was real to us. Oh disturbing. These are all disturbing things.
Yeah, yeah, but they have just a little edge of humor.
Yay, I just a little ledge. Okay, you had the tacos.
You had the tacos and then tomatoes ketchup tacos.
Oh my gosh, but there are I mean, there's so many more that again would be really normal. It was very normal for where I grew up, like being in a Midwesterner and being in Miszi. Like, there's lots of things that if I talked about them in you know, New York City or in Los Angeles, people would be like, that's discussed. But I'm making a salad. You know what salad marshmallows really with like put like jello.
There's a lot of you know what it says Matt is a Midwesterner. There's a lot of jello.
Salady.
Yeah, there's a lot of jello.
There's a lot of jello also, really you know.
Uh, the the feeling that uh, mayonnaise is a salad dressing very British.
Really, we have mayonnaise with a lot of stuff.
Then a lot of Brits came to Missouri and they settled because they brought that with them.
You know what's always really strange to me that we do it in England but they don't do these.
Days is when I moved here, we butter our bread each slide, our bread for every sandwich. So no matter what you put on your sandwich, you butter each side, and then you put on your cheese and your ham when you put on your tuna or your chicken or whatever, and it shocked me and the you that your your bread is dry.
H It's a difference.
Difference.
So I grew up, although not as an embarrassing as or crazy as some of these.
No, I know, I know by the way. I actually just had to because I had to really remind myself because ambrosia salad. I can see it in my in my brain, but I can't rem my mind's eye. But I actually I think I've blocked out the ingredients. I'm just gonna just gonna read a cop.
Is it like a custard.
Well, it's called an ambrosia salad, and its ingredients are marshmallows, coconut canned mandarin oranges, jarred Marashino cherries, frozen whipped topping thowed, a can of pineapple chunks, and a can of for cocktail.
But it's delicious, just frillle salad, just a little. They're like your doctor's like, do you eat salad? You're like every day?
Well, yeah, hello, Ambrosia is the nectar of the gods. Nectar of the God. Salad is what that's called.
I dare you to make it this weekend, Oh, little solid boy, I cannot.
Oh my gosh, well you know what I mean. Most of these I have to say, do you kind of center around food? Except for the genius mental ninja that convinced their children that they could not talk in a car? And I know, yeah, I mean, oh my gosh, they're fun me. But by the way, I'm not maybe I'm not done with this. By the way, I mean, I feel like there's more out there that I'd like to hear about because these are just fun and funny. So
if you have this, you start the thing. Yeah, and I'm going to continue to think about the weird things in my family. I will say there's it's a little embarrassing now and believe you me, the sixteen year old looks at me like are you kidding me?
And no.
But when we got on planes with the kids when they were younger, you know, like babies, they would be like as we were taking off, it'd be like, okay, flap your wings. I know they left.
You did this with me on a.
Flight, you told me, and so now I do it with my kids, I go flasp your wing?
Do you even flap your wings? So we flapped our wings, and then I'll get super super nerdy and be like, there's not.
Enough on the right more power. I need some more thrusters in that wing.
Anyways, the kids will think it's hilarious, like I said, with the exception of Luke, who now somewhat indulges me, but more looks at me like you gotta stop. Now.
What's cute? Is I think all these little things they'll.
End up doing. Yeah, yeah, flaff their wings.
With their kids. It's gonna be and we definitely need to.
Do a holiday edition. Oh my god, yeah, yeah, we'll do Halloween for you.
Halloween. Well, you know, Halloween is interesting for me because growing up with a Catholic.
Mom, it was very evil you taboo, yah, taboo until we moved to America for a year when we were kids, and then she was like, oh, this is actually really fun and Julian.
But before that, oh no, it was like you could get possessed on Halloween if you put out a bat.
Oh god, yeah, yeah, think about it.
I wasn't even allowed to watch Sabrina and the Teenage, which for a while in case.
You know, I got possessed with the TV.
Yeah, okay, I love this.
Please let's keep this going. I really do.
I think we should do different, different, different versions of it, but for sure we need to do a holiday one. Thank you all for sending these in. You make my day.
Yes, and I feel like this is We get to learn so much more about each other when we have little subjects like this, because I wouldn't have thought of those.
I know.
Okay, call it crew. We love you, We love you. Another short and sweet
