My name's Middy May, I'm Eric, And every week we come together give you the weird stories from our lives. The streets, the sheets, the globe, the globetrotters, the Harlem, the Harlems, the Harlots, upside downs, name between what?

Speaker 1

The globe?

Speaker 2

Yeah, the globe Trotter's not the heart. I think to throw you in a little bro. I'm always paying attention.

Speaker 3

I was the Harlem globe trotters. It's a globe trotters in the Harlems, then the Harletts.

Speaker 2

But there's no Herletts.

Speaker 1

It might be there might be.

Speaker 3

Uh and you'r ainus. They give you fun stories and just you know, just have a good time.

Speaker 1

Give you a little debrief.

Speaker 3

Pretend like you know, if you're driving solo right now, if you're listening to the car, if you're flying.

Speaker 2

Solo, flying solo, who flies solo.

Speaker 3

Or you're writing solo, Jason, the love that mentors there we go. It's like two friends are talking behind you and you're not involved the conversation. You just get to listen to the conversation. You know, that is what it is. But you know, we had a little bit of a break.

Speaker 2

We got it. So happens.

Speaker 1

You know, priorize, prioritize work over this first.

Speaker 2

Unfortunately, you know when your kids and no birthday and summer and it's yeah, it's just a lot. It's a lot. Summers suck as a parent. Hoodie, I'm gonna tell you that right now.

Speaker 1

Entertained that kid you got twenty four, they don't have camp.

Speaker 2

It's like you're just on it for seven. And then it's also like, man, what do we do to fill time when they're off of camp? And well, guess what we do? We go to the Air and Space Museum, we go to Renfest, we go all different places. Don't involve any other family members but myself and my.

Speaker 3

Son, and you have to be accountable for him at all time, exactly.

Speaker 1

Every waking minute.

Speaker 2

He just turned eight on Monday of the week of this podcast recording. And it's great, he's become a little man, but we still gotta still gotta push it a lot.

Speaker 3

That was funny that Matt Or sorry Max, hated being there until you.

Speaker 1

Put a weapon in his hand. That he was all about being.

Speaker 2

He was all about being at Renfest. I bought him a long sword for ten bucks, and then I just opened up the floodgates of more stuff to buy the little man. He wanted to buy an axe. He wanted a battle axe, so we didn't find it. We found Thor's hammer. But then at the other end of where they had Thor's hammer, they had the battle axe. So we've got a long sword, a battle axe, and a Thor's hammer.

Speaker 1

Oh so, how.

Speaker 3

Far into getting into the actual Renaissance festival did you buy those weapons? Like? Was it like halfway or as soon as he saw that as soon as he saw he was one stuck carrying with them. He wanted him so he had to carry them. As soon as he saw the sword, it's when he opened up a little more and started being like a little more like okay, let me, let's get this, dad, And I.

Speaker 2

Was like, all right, let's go check it out, let's try it. You know, who doesn't want a good long sword? But who doesn't want a good long sword? Uh? In double entendre, but uh, you know it was fun.

Speaker 1

It was great.

Speaker 2

He then opened up. He also did say too that the food, he didn't like any of the food because he's a very picky eater, which I was very upset about because I was like, they had oysters, they had macaroni on a stick, they had all kinds of meat on the stick, they had the turkey leg. They had cheesecake on a stick, which.

Speaker 1

I had delicious.

Speaker 2

We should have got carrot cake and they joy they had carrot cake. He just talked about he never doesn't like chick care cake. I love a good carrick to it, I love good caro cake. Care cake is the best. And that's also another start to keep it interrupting you. But a deep rooted core memory of myself because my older brother, remember I told you, guys would always take the turkey leg. He also would also get carrot cake

every single weekend. My mom would always buy him a caro cake, and I couldn't eat any of the care cake until I don't have the Caro cake or if like the last piece. We don't have to say for Edwin couldn't let air keep the last year.

Speaker 1

I couldn't know that happened.

Speaker 2

Had to let the little older brother not like I'm still on They don't make that care cake anymore giant and I look for it and I want it.

Speaker 1

Damn it.

Speaker 2

Oh good, damn it had the white frosting on it. Ah, and it was like it looks shaped like a log.

Speaker 3

Oh so good. So anyways, Soddy, how you been, buddy, I've been good. That was my first Maryland Renaissance vessel, which is great.

Speaker 2

It was great.

Speaker 1

It had a great time.

Speaker 3

It really felt like I was telling more and my mom this that it felt like a field trip where like you're eating a pre assigned like we all went together kind of those our class but then you're in individual groups, yes, and then you we all kind of did our own thing. Then we can came back together end of the end of the night and it's like, oh, you talk about on the bus, Oh what'd you guys do? What'd you do? And that was pretty cool. Mom had

a blast. I did rent a costume at the Renaissance Festival, which was I think probably the coolest thing to do. If you don't have a lot of stuff or you don't think you do more, put together an outfit which was great.

Speaker 2

She looked great, She looked great.

Speaker 1

I rented the costume and got to wear it the whole day.

Speaker 3

We left it like force, but I could have worn it till like six o'clock when it closed. Yeah, Tennessee is eight hours because because of daylight, because of fall, you're right, and then it's also just one overall shift for employees, you know. But if you're trying to figure out, like oh, I don't have any word, renting the costume is definitely the idea because like it immerses yourself even more.

We were talking about how we don't know if it's on purpose, but there's no Wi Fi and self service is kind of spotty there because you're in the woods at of Annapolis, that it immerses even more.

Speaker 1

You know, I'll go on your phone the whole time.

Speaker 3

Like I'll take some pictures, but I got to post on Instagram because I can't.

Speaker 1

You can't enjoy what's going.

Speaker 2

On exactly, and you can definitely enjoy and there's and it is super There's a lot for all ages, young kids, drunkards, adults, I mean at heart, young and hard. Everybody was having a good time. I I because it was funny too. That excuse me, per time hop. I was at Renfest the same day eleven.

Speaker 1

Years ago, and it's still no, it's better.

Speaker 2

It's better now. They did get rid of the elephant, but that's fine because they had yeah, which is fine.

Speaker 1

Respect.

Speaker 2

We've got to take care of our animals, love and respect him. But I wish Max would have seen a live elephant up close, because he doesn't like seeing him at the National Zoo. But this would be cool to see one there at the Menfest. Fatal. Anyways, we did see some of the jazzy and stuff. We did see the bird fly around. That was pretty cool. Good caw and uh, I want to go back. I want to go back. I want to go back. You could we should go back, because I should go back with adults. Well,

maybe we'll go back this weekend. I'll have Max's weekend day weekend.

Speaker 1

That'll be a good weekend. Busy, busy.

Speaker 3

The best part is street parking, so you know paper parking, so you just go and you want. We got to buy a ticket ahead time, but yeah, because I'll sell out.

Speaker 2

It's worth it, though, it is worth it.

Speaker 3

That cheesecake on a stick had mac and cheese bites. There's like a little like food court section. I kept trying to call, you know, like I'm out the food court section that everywhere, It's like.

Speaker 1

Where the majority of the food was at.

Speaker 2

Was it on the backside?

Speaker 3

Was by the tavern you told us to meet at. It was like all food right there.

Speaker 2

But then there's another one behind our eye well and then maxally the slide, Oh my god about Renfest.

Speaker 1

Chees was good.

Speaker 2

Let's get weird about weird now, but we're talking about Renfestival.

Speaker 3

There's peanut butter on a steak, like peanut butter pie on a stick. But I was like, now I already had cheesecake on stick. I can't have both, So I didn't have.

Speaker 2

Any of that fun stuff because I definitely wanted to try.

Speaker 1

My mom had a Scotch egg.

Speaker 3

Yeah, that looked good that your mom had that, Or had falafels that a vegetarian that's not just cheese.

Speaker 2

Here's we have these wonderful filaffels made in the medium times good times, good time. Yeah, I have fun.

Speaker 1

So it more is like, why aren't you posting a picture of us?

Speaker 3

I'm like, don't worry, I'm gonna post my little August recap on August thirty first, like all the cool girlies do.

Speaker 2

Because that's the thing to do. Now I feel like everyone's yeah. Oh and then too, Also, how many photos can you put in a slide? It's like twenty picks now.

Speaker 1

On ig many, I'm not swiping through all that five at moment.

Speaker 2

I get sucked into some of these.

Speaker 3

Well, some of the pictures you're watching, they're showing more than they should be showing. In this lady, they hide thee hundredth photo.

Speaker 1

It's like, oh, you scrolled this far.

Speaker 2

You scrolled this far. You better get you treats, little nip slip here there you go. But no, I'm just saying, like.

Speaker 1

Did the Instagram algorithm get this far?

Speaker 3

No?

Speaker 2

No, not even that's going that far. But all right, well that's good.

Speaker 3

Yeah, but a good time. On top of that, got to go to mom and me the night before.

Speaker 1

How was that was? What a time? Let me tell you something, first time ever in the Kennedy Center.

Speaker 3

So that was great. Red carpet everywhere. Yep, Mom's first musical. We sat in the back row of like the second tier, which is great because like you can get stand up and no one's behind you. Could you see everything or no, yeah, you can see everything for any I feel like every seat Like we were in the middle of the second tier. I felt that was the best spot because you could see the show. But it was funny because like if you've seen the Mama Mea movie, yeah, the first one.

This is just the first movie. It's which I didn't know at the time, is that it's all that. There's I think there's maybe two other songs they added or something just to pad the musical out right and into two acts and people getting rowdy, people getting into it.

I'm like, all right, we're having a good time. We're getting towards the end of the musical and like take a chance as playing and all of a sudden, they cut to where the credits of the movie would be and they come out in their little like abba suit looking things and people just stay like this.

Speaker 1

Usually can do the clap and they do like an encore or whatever.

Speaker 3

Everyone's already standing up and they're like, all right, let's just party.

Speaker 1

Now it turned into a concert.

Speaker 2

Now is Mama Mia a play first or movie first?

Speaker 1

I think it's a I think.

Speaker 3

It's a play, right, A movie or play for movie came out on two thousand and eight ninety nine, it became a play.

Speaker 2

Okay, cool one, that's one too. Was there alcoholic Kennedy Center for people drink? There was?

Speaker 3

It was heck expensive though, and beer wine. Yeah, you had to get it in. Uh they I don't know if you had to buy it or they give it to you. But it was a seilable cup because they wanted to stay in the car.

Speaker 2

Oh good. And then my last question about the Connedy Center, how did it sound acoustically? It was?

Speaker 1

And did you wear those stupid ear things ear thing?

Speaker 2

No?

Speaker 1

I did not wear that.

Speaker 2

You playing.

Speaker 1

I don't get immerse me in this avenue what I'm saying you wear.

Speaker 3

By the speakers the play at least or our tier, they had speakers, but I don't think they were working or they weren't on because they had giant towers of speakers on the sides of the stage.

Speaker 1

I think for Mama Mia it was pretty good.

Speaker 3

They did increase the volume from the first act to the second act, and you could tell because I think.

Speaker 1

People aren't cording here or anything, you know, and it was fun.

Speaker 3

I actually saw people with opera glasses like they had the little like you had a little like on a stick thing, and I was like, oh, well, we don't go that many musicals that we need to invest in those yet. But I'm turning to musical girly so I love a good music. I'm seeing Hamilton in November, baby, so I gotta go see a play.

Speaker 2

Maybe I just find someone to take me.

Speaker 3

Well, apparently The Clue they're doing a Clue play next month at the Kennedy Center. I didn't realize this because uh, Mora's sister Caroline's taking her mom and her aunt to go see it. And apparently every night it's a different murder.

Speaker 2

Yeah, of course.

Speaker 3

Well, so the the thing is like, oh, one actor on a random night just has the night off or just is just laying down as a body the whole time. So like you have to learn the whole musical, but then also, hey, one, but you have to learn it without one person also being there at the same time.

Speaker 1

You just gonna change the name. No, but like so like, oh, colonel Mustard died.

Speaker 3

I guess what Colonel Mustard isn't in any of the scenes of Tonight's Musical, So you or Tonight's place.

Speaker 1

You have to count out Colonel Muster not being there.

Speaker 3

Change.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I think that's pretty easy. I think that's the coolest. Like variations that you.

Speaker 3

Know, I do agree with you, and they're like, oh, okay, Professor Plumb, you're supposed to talk to Colonel Mustard in this scene, but Colonel.

Speaker 2

Mustard is dead, so now you talk to missus White.

Speaker 1

Yeah, Or you talked to the scarlet yeah whatever. Cock yeah, yep, peacock cock cock, yep, peacock cock.

Speaker 2

Because I'm a fire. I'm a firework. Could he No, baby, you're a fire.

Speaker 1

We're gonna hear me roar. But we're all good weekend for the two of us, which is great. And then Max started school today.

Speaker 2

School today, we had his his birthday was back.

Speaker 1

Speaker 2

He's rocking? Oh my god, what is it? Rocket? It's I think it's a new one because.

Speaker 2

It looks like it's a bunch of characters. It's oh no, it's still it's Avengers one that he had from last year with all the different little Avengers. We had his birthday party Saturday at my older brother's house and that was great. All the kids had a fun time in the in the hot tub, in the pool. They're having a good time.
