Episode#3-Unpopular Opinions and a Good Cup of Jo

The two friends discuss their week and share experiences. One went to a concert and had fun, while the other forgot about a Zoom class. They talk about being tired and the time change. They also mention having a dance party and their dislike for washing clothes and making their beds. They then discuss their unpopular opinions, such as one friend thinking Taylor Swift is a crybaby and the other believing birthdays aren't a big deal. They also talk about their preference for room temperature water and their dislike for motorcycles on highways. Lastly, they discuss their opinion on professional athletes' salaries. Hey guys, welcome back to College Knockoffs with Brie and Hannah, I'm Brie, this is Hannah. Hi. Hey. Oh my gosh, how was your week? I feel like I, I mean we've talked a little bit, not really about how our week's been so far. Yeah. Um, my week's been pretty good, um, I can't even remember last week, this weekend I went to Toby Mac concert, which was so fun, oh my goodness, we were on the floor, and, I've never been on the floor before, but we were so close, and like, it was fun, yeah. Was, on the floor were there still rows, or were you just like, everybody was together? There was rows, but like, our seats were right by the stage, like the runway, and in the middle, so that's where like they stopped and sang, it was like, it's weird, cause like, we made eye contact, and I was just like, I don't know if I like this or not, like I would look away, cause I was like, uh, this is so weird. You were looking right at me. Yeah. Oh my gosh, that's so funny. Um, was it, it was in Kansas City, wasn't it? Yeah, it was in Kansas City. Yeah. Cool. It was good. That's fun. Yeah. What about your week? I pushed through and finished my stuff I had to for school, but then I was so completely exhausted that I forgot I had a Zoom for my college class, and I did not attend, so I had to text my professor the next day, and I was like, uh, sorry, I was not there, now what do I need to do to make up for being absent? So, now I'm, yeah, now I'm playing catch up with that, but it's been, it's been alright. I'm just tired, and this time change thing. Yeah. Holy moly, I'm exhausted. Exhausted. Me too. I'm not used to it, and the kids were just so hyper. Oh. And I'm just like, chill, please, I don't have the energy to deal with you today. Yeah. But. Today was so fun, we had a dance party. Oh yeah? I turned on the kids bop, and it was so fun. Kids bop. Oh my goodness. I turn on kids bop in here sometimes when they're working. They think it's fun. And it's so funny, like one time party in the USA came on, and every single one of them were singing it, and the boys, and I was just like, oh yeah. Like, that's a banger. Yeah. But anyways. Alright. I say we get started. We're going to talk about some unpopular opinions, and if you want, you can try to change our minds, but I'm pretty sure. Oh no. Yeah. Alright, you want to just go back and forth like we've done before? Yeah, you go first. Alright, alright. Washing clothes is a waste of time. Not that you shouldn't wash your clothes. I do believe, I wash my clothes, I promise. For sure. But I hate how time consuming it is. Yeah. Like, there's been so many times where I've had dirty clothes, and I'm just like, you know what, they've been there so long, and I apparently haven't missed them that bad, so I'll just, like, get rid of them. Oh. And put them in the, like, donate pile. And then I'll just go get more clothes. But I hate washing. Do you give them dirty clothes? No, I have to wash them before, so see, it's just like, ugh. Yeah. Anyways. I hate, you have to wash them, then you have to dry them, and then you have to put them away. Mm-hmm. And the putting them away part, that's honestly the worst part for me. I hate putting them away. I don't want to do that. Yeah. Oh, literally my bed is full of clothes that I need to put away. I actually was tired of them being on my bed, so I put a clean blanket down on the floor and then put the clothes down on top of the blanket. Because I was tired of them being on my bed. That's hard. But they're still clean. They're definitely not type A. They're definitely not type A. Oh, gosh. Yeah. Good one. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. What's yours? First one. First one. Taylor Swift is a crybaby. I don't like her. I mean, do I keep track of what's going on with her? Yeah. But I don't like her. I got a bad feeling about her. She's a crybaby. Yeah, I'm seeing it. So that means Taylor Swift. How is she a crybaby? I don't know. She just looks like one. Oh, okay. So you've never actually seen her be one? She just looks like one. I don't know. She just resonates in the wrong way. And the fact that even kids now are obsessed with her and, like, we were obsessed with her, it's just, like, weird. Like, weird. I don't know. But just Taylor Swift in general for Hannah. Yeah. She just drives my gears. Oh, my gosh. All right. Let's see. Number two, there's no point in making your bed. You're just going to get back in it. There's no point. Amen. I did it for a little bit. And I say I did it. I really didn't even do it. I would literally just take my comforter and, like, throw it towards the top. I wouldn't straighten it out. I would put my pillows on top. I was just like, there you go. Bed made. But, no, there's no point. You're getting back in it. And I get that it looks nice and good for you guys if you make your bed every morning because I just don't have it in me. Most of the time I don't even get up in time to even get myself ready to look decent, let alone make my bed on top of it. Yeah, you want us to make our beds? Oh, my gosh. Crazy. Have you seen the beds that you can zip up? They, like, have a zip so it's easier for you to make your bed. I've never seen that before. I've seen them. They're really expensive. But I don't even know if I would zip it up. I don't even think. No. It's still taking time. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, is it my turn? Yeah, your turn. My number two is birthdays do not matter that much. Oh, my gosh. When you sent me your list, I was like, I was with Jake, and I was like, I do not agree with any of Hannah's. Okay. Okay, well, hear me out. Birthdays, when you're one and you have a cute-themed birthday, okay, cute. But if you're 22 and you have a themed birthday and you're renting something and other people have to dress up a certain way, come on, like, grow up. So more like birthday parties don't matter. Oh, yeah. Okay, okay. Not birthdays in general. Just birthday parties. See, I'm a big birthday person. Like, not like party-wise, but just like, you were born 25 years ago. That's awesome. Here's a present. Okay. Yeah, if it's your birthday, go out to eat with your family. Fine. But, okay, now I feel bad. Okay, yeah, I'm glad you're alive for however many years. But do we have to all gather and give you presents if I barely know you? Okay, yeah. I mean, if you're really young. But, like, you know, like, when we were in college and people were like, oh, it's my birthday, let's have a birthday party. I was kind of one of those. My family is big on birthdays. My family is big on birthdays. We've always, like, me and Tabby have always had our birthdays together. And when I had my 21st birthday, so Tabby was turning 18, I was turning 21, so we had a party. And I just, I invited people from Pitt to come. But it wasn't for the gifts or anything. Like, I just want people to come. I just think it's, I don't know. I was just thinking the other day, like, when I was younger, one of my family members had a birthday party. It was, like, their 45th birthday or something. And, like, they rented a thing out. And I just think about it. I'm like, why? Like, why couldn't we just do that at their house? Right. Like, I don't know. It just doesn't need to be that big of a deal. I get it. I get it. I got it. Okay. My third one is room temperature water is the best. I hate cold water. Yeah. Obviously. Who drinks hot water? Yuck. But room temperature water is the best tasting water. Yeah. I cannot stand to drink it cold because I don't like when it, like, hurts my teeth or even, like, if it's too cold, it, like, hurts your throat. I don't like that. Yeah. I will chug a bottle of water as long as it's room temperature. If it's a cold water, I will literally sip on it. Like, little bitty sips. Or I'll just leave it and wait for it to not be cold anymore. But. I agree. I like room temperature. Cold is, like, then sometimes it, like, shocks your mouth. Yeah. And it's like, oh. Oh, gosh. Okay. What's your next one? Okay. Well, I was saying that this one I might sound like a grandma. Okay. But I think motorcycles should not be allowed on the highway. So, you know, and as I wrote this down, I, the next night, I watched Wild Hogs. Oh, my gosh. It is a great movie. I love that movie. But you know what grinds my gears is when you're driving down the highway and these people on their little crotch rockets are zooming past each other trying to, oh, oh, it gives me a heart attack. I'm just like, you are asking to get hit. They are, like, swerving in between cars and they come out of nowhere and just go down, like, some country roads. I don't care. Just stay off the highway. I don't think, like, I don't think they should be allowed on the highway. I just think that if they're on the highway, they should not drive like idiots. They should be safe. Like, they should know. They're not a motorcycle. Oh, my gosh. Please put a helmet on. I'm flipping hate when they don't wear helmets. But, no, like, if you're driving down the highway, don't act like an idiot. Like, because you're not the only. There's people that are idiots driving cars. Like, you just got to. Anyways, yeah, I get it. I don't agree that they shouldn't be allowed to be on the highways. But. Oh, my gosh. Okay, this one has gotten me some hate in the past. But professional athletes should not get paid. As much as they do. As much as they do. Amen. I wouldn't, like, okay, it's their job. I get it. They can get paid. Getting paid that much. Like, do you know how much or do you know where that money could go elsewhere? To, like, actually benefit other people in the country? Like, why do they need to make that much money? Amen. And there's. Yeah. And also, college athletes shouldn't get paid at all. No. I think that's so dumb. They should not. Ridiculous. But anyways, that one's gotten me some hate before. I don't think they should get paid that much. Sure, it's their job. And sure, they play for millions of people that watch them. But. What are you doing? Like, it's not even that big a deal. Like, oh, you're playing. Oh, you're going to act like a little baby crybaby? Like, and you're going to get paid millions of dollars? Yeah, right. No. And I think that it's just, like, eventually give up on the dream and go get a real job like the rest of us. You just got to quit at some point. You can't do that forever. Yeah, they do. Like, that's true. That's true. No, yeah. That's a big one for me, honestly. I agree with that one. Good one. How many more you got? I got one more. Okay. I'll make mine my last two together. Two holidays. Holiday one. First, I think leap day should be a holiday. I mean, it only comes every four years. Let's take the day off. Okay. Enjoy it. All right. I can see. And then another one, take Halloween away. It creeps me out. I don't like it. Yeah. Bye-bye, Halloween. Yeah. There's a lot of people that don't celebrate Halloween, which I get it. Yeah. I think I was scarred. You were scarred? I was little. What time? I was trick-or-treating, okay? And this guy jumps out of nowhere with a chainsaw, okay? Scares the crap out of me. I'm running away, and I trip over a curb. And it was the most embarrassing thing ever and ever since that. Oh, my God. And then another year after that, I was superwoman, okay? Okay. And this guy said, oh, he thought I was a boy being Superman. Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh. So that's why I hate Halloween. Oh, my gosh. That's so funny. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Okay. So this one, it's mine and then plus Jake's. I told him I was reading my list. He was like, okay, wait, put this, too. So ketchup. So I was thinking about this before. I said ketchup is the worst condiment. However, however, it's not that it's the worst out of all of them. It's just the worst out of the ones that I like. So it's not the worst, you know, out of all of them, just out of the ones that I like. I would, like, I mean, sometimes I like it with fries. Sometimes I like it with chicken. I like it on hamburgers, whatever. But if I had to just choose a condiment, it would be honey mustard for almost anything. I love honey mustard. Really? Yeah, for real. But this is what Jake has said. He's like, all right, all right, you can say ketchup's the worst. However, Whataburger spicy ketchup is the best. Oh, I've never tried that. I know, me neither. But he, I mean, he swears. He's like ketchup's the worst, but Whataburger spicy ketchup's the best. Oh, I have to try that. And it was, yeah. I've never tried it. But there's also, like, no Whataburger around me. Really? No. They're all over here. And you know who owns them? Who? My homes. Oh, yeah. They pay too much. Yeah, no. Oh, my gosh. I don't dislike ketchup, but, like, I don't use it for, like, certain things. Yeah. There's not one thing that I use on everything. Yeah. I don't know. I just, like, I would use honey mustard for a lot of things. Like, french fries, chicken. I've put it on a sandwich before. I've put it on a burger before. Like, I just like honey mustard. I, like, put it on a salad. It still tastes good. Yeah. But, anyways. Okay. Yeah, pretty good. Oh, gosh. Okay. So, you don't have any more? Nope. I'm out. Me neither. Or, me too. Anyways. Okay. Now, we will talk about what we read this week. So, do you want to go first? Do you want me to go first? I'll go first. Okay. You go. Okay. So, this week, I read Matthew 27. This past week, actually. And I don't know if I've just been missing this the whole time. Mm-hmm. Or what. But Barabbas. Mm-hmm. Okay. Like, I'd never heard of Barabbas until that song, I Am Barabbas, that came out. Mm-hmm. And then I was reading Matthew 27 and where Jesus is about to go get crucified. Is that the right word? Yeah. Yeah. And they're telling, or hang on, let me read it. Let me find it, actually. Okay. So, they're asking the crowd, I guess back then it's like their custom is to crucify one, you have to let a prisoner go. And they're saying either let Jesus go or let Barabbas go. Mm-hmm. And of course, they're going to say let Barabbas go because they want Jesus, like, on the cross. Right. But I did some research. And Barabbas, so in my Bible, it says that his name is Jesus Barabbas. Like, that's his name. Okay. And, well, Barabbas means, let me, what does Barabbas mean? Barabbas means son of the father. And it's Jesus, son of the father, which is like wild. Yeah. And it's just Barabbas is literally the symbol of us. Mm-hmm. Because like, because Jesus had to die on the cross, we are set free. Barabbas, son of the father, we are children of God. Wow. We are set free. Yeah. And it's just like, what? Like, that's crazy. Yeah, I've never noticed that before either. I hope I explained that well, but. No, I understood it, so you're good. So, I just love that. Like, yeah, like, the whole point, like, of Easter and Jesus is dying on the cross. Mm-hmm. But also, like, right in that same story, and it's in all the Gospels too, is Barabbas getting let go. And Barabbas is us. Yeah. Like, because Jesus died, he was set free. It's just like, whoa. That is a, like, mind-blowing moment. Yeah. And just listening, I feel like after reading that, and then going back and listening to the song, is like, try to listen without crying. Right? Because you can't. It is so awesome. Yeah, that is awesome. Yeah. Oh, man. Okay. I last week read Ephesians 4. So, going through my what does it say about God thing again, he is one Lord, there's one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all in all. And then he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds, and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ. So, like, he, I mean, he provided everything for us to do our job. Uh-huh. Yeah. And so then, what's it say about man? Where is it at? Rather speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head into Christ. And to put off our old selves, which belong to the former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice, be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. And I just, I feel like I'm going to repeat myself from the last episode, but, like, this book just makes me so emotional. Yeah, it does. It really does. It's so deep, and it's just like, he's just saying, do your job. That's all you have to do. Yeah. Do your job. Do these things, and your life will be great. Like, do these things and live for me, and that's all you have to do. Yeah, it's so simple. Yeah. But it's so hard. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. It's simple, but it's hard at the same time. But we can do it. Yeah, we can. We just have to, you know, it's that mindset. Like, you have to have the mindset to do it, and you have to be very self-disciplined. Yeah. Because it's very easy to get, like, off track and get into worldly things and, you know, let the world lead you instead of letting God lead you. Yeah. But, man, it's just so good. It is good, yeah. It's so good. Why is it good? I mean, Ephesians only has five chapters, right? No, it has six chapters. It has six chapters. Yeah. I thought two more. Woo-hoo! Which I'm kind of sad about, because then it's going to be over. I know. No, I know. I'm literally done with Matthew. I'm like, wait. I liked it. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Okay, this might be what I was excited the most for. It's sharing how we like our coffee. Yeah. Because we are coffee girls. Coffee is best. We are. Thank Gilmore Girls, Lorelei, and Rory. That's us. Yeah. It is. Hannah had to be disciplined, and I had to kind of discipline her when we lived together. Yeah. And we're like, all right, Hannah, we can only have like three cups of coffee today compared to your eight cups yesterday. I was only, like, it was bad. It was super unhealthy. Like, that was my food and my, like, water. Like, I did not, I only drank coffee. That's what she lived off of. Yeah. And I loved it. Like, it was, I still could do that. Like, some days I'm like, I'm like, I don't drink eight anymore. But some days I'm like four cups. And I'm just like, okay, I can't have any more. Like, it's. Oh, my gosh. I was doing so good. Yeah. Like, I was decaf. Yeah, you were. Yeah. And you know what reminds me? You. Oh. No, I'm just kidding. When I came? When I came up there? The pods you gave me. Oh, the pods I gave you. Yeah. Hey, you know, maybe God is saying, hey, that's my time to get caffeinated again. I'm joking. But. Oh, gosh. No, I. Hey, I love those. So. Yeah. I won't blame you. I know. I know. I knew those were the ones you liked. So I got them. They are. All right. So. Normally. Most of the time. Pretty much all the time. I take my coffee cold. I gotta, I gotta have an iced coffee. And. I always have to have the extra shot. And it's because I want to taste more coffee than, like, cream and sugar. You know, that's smart. That's smart. I know. Yeah. I mean, do I need. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
