What is the theme of this minisode?
Hello and welcome.
What happened during the picnic story?
to my favorite murder. The mini-sode. Here it is, all cute and mini. You wanna go first? Sure. Okay, I'm not gonna tell you the name of this one. All right, hey team, my husband and I bought our very first house in the middle of COVID lockdown, just over four years ago now. We had a three-year-old and a new baby, and despite these amazing milestones in our lives, it was a strange time to be alive. One thing that made life slightly less cabin fevery was the park behind our house. By park, I mean biggish rocky hill at the top of which is a beautiful Gary Oak meadow. Gary Oaks are gnarly, scraggly, Tim Burton trees, but the creepy factor is offset by the wildflowers that grow between them. Crocuses, daffodils, fawn lily, and camas. Pretty spectacular stuff.
One day, my husband and I had a rare opportunity to go out alone together. Seizing the moment we got takeout Vietnamese subs and avoiding the plague, we took them to the summit of our hill. It was a gorgeous spring day. The creepy trees were creeping and crocuses were in full bloom. We walked past a gathering of 15 people or so, weird to see so many people in one spot in those days, who were perched in a circle at the top of a small cliff overlooking the city. They had a bunch of acoustic guitars, so we veered hard to the left. Not thinking much about it except that we wanted some alone time, unsullied by tragic covers of Imagine and Hallelujah, we headed down to a nice lookout spot nestled under the cliff, sort of semi-private. We tucked into our banh mi, so delicious, and were generally feeling pretty happy. The guitars had started up, but the view was nice, so we didn't mind.
Oh!
How did COVID affect personal experiences?
Onto our beautiful banh mi sandwiches. And like during COVID, we got up and ran quietly and respectfully and very fucking fast directly all the way home and into the shower. Worst of all, we had to throw out those delicious subs. And I mean, you know, Vietnamese subs are everything with that soft white loaf and all that cilantro and mayo and green chilies. Sorry, writing while hungry.
What was Megan's memorable picnic experience?
Needless to say, date night was cut short. Yeah, I bet. Like just this desperate grab for one moment together alone. And what you get is a dead body sprinkled on top of you. That's right. In any case, I first heard your lovely voices around the same time as the ruined picnic and binging the episodes in reverse order was another tool I used to keep sane during pandemic times. I am a midwife with a medical degree and not a whiff of patchouli about me. And I remember at the time having to attend prenatal clinic visits, births, and home visits in swimming goggles and homemade trash bag gowns as there was a shortage on PPE on our island and nothing left for us to use to protect ourselves. So scary. Yeah. Says, what a fucking time. Yeah.
You kept me afloat and have kept me company through so many of life's twists and turns in the years that have followed. I am grateful. Take good care, stay sexy, and don't have a picnic at a funeral. Megan. And then it says, just Megan spelled weird because it's spelled weird. She, her. Megan, that's a story for the ages. I mean, that's an anecdote that you're going to be able to pull out at any dinner party when people are like trading great stories back and forth. You're like, okay, well, everybody sit down because it's my time to shine. Definitely. This is going to be her grandchildren are going to write in this hometown to whoever is hosting my favorite murder in fucking 25 years from now. Good Lord. And be like, that was my grandma. Oh, my God. Spelled weird was my grandma.
My mom was pregnant with me during that story when she had cremains sprinkled on her. Oh, God. Oh, shit. Okay. Amazing kickoff. I think I have a good follow-up here. Okay. I won't read you the subject line. And the opening is, My Favorite People. Aw. I'm currently at work listening to Minnesota 401, which is listener Catherine's story of being a 10-year-old bartender. I can't top that, but I remembered my experience as a receptionist for my school district for one morning at 11 years old.
