it oh the past two weeks I said to myself I need to check my phone is it a full moon there's Mercury in retrograde yes all of the things okay it is all the things okay that makes so much sense my husband thinks I'm a lunatic for believing in that he was like the Mercury thing and I'm like no you can't tell me that there's like a giant magnetic force pulling a moon around us and when it's in the certain position it doesn't affect us right it does have you spent some time in emergency room at a full moon it it affects people we got a lot of medical professionals that watch the show and they absolutely know that for a fact because yes we do have a full moon it is very much full moony out there right now this week's been insane my husband's been up in Boston most of the time we've spent the fortun on hotel rooms his Mo uh my mother-in-law is sick and I love her to death I actually prefer her over my own mother which is you know I feel that yeah I don't I'm not a fan um so she's been sick so he's been having to go up to uh toughs yeah and he got a hotel and the president was in town oh so he got a hotel at a really shady hotel in ch is awful I feel like I've stayed there

didn't happen for me yeah I had things to do um our question of the morning by the way is what makes you start your morning off on a bad foot so many things where Did We Begin but for me it's like the sink of dishes if I have to like if I'm trying to get hot water to get hot coffee to get my day started and I've got to crawl over your nasty dishes from your video gaming or midnight eating makes me insane you know I've given up on my kitchen because I'll clean it in five minutes later there's just crap everywhere and I'm like Jesus Christ and that's funny you say that because my dad was in the military and his big thing is leaving dishes in the sink I swear to God I can't I left dishes in the sink when I lived with him he told me I don't know if it's a prior service thing or what but it makes me crazy I came home and I had dirty dishes on my pillow I didn't never I never did that again see you learned we can't do that now these kids have rights I don't even know my oh oh stepping in dog maskk yeah that is not a fun morning there good morning Amy mine's being you know I was always habitually late yeah and that's like the ADH day in my brain and now I'm like chronically early so being late and having to hurry that anxiety ruins my whole morning yeah yeah there's something about that anxiety that's helpable me fly into a blind rage where I have a friend of mine we were talking about it last night because we were in a rush one of our um one of our hosts got sick so Lily had to jump in and so I but she doesn't drive so I had to drive her to her gig before mine both of which that start at the same time I'm fine everything's fine right and you're like twitching and like I don't know and I like walked in at like four minutes of and I'm like I'll be fine everything's great I we I'm on time um I feel like I've lived my whole life like that yeah but like if you feel like you're doing drugs I don't like that feeling right and like once I hit 40 I was like I don't want to do this anymore yeah right it's not a good time I'm GNA give myself a stroke Julie says Meg I'm watching I'm happy to see your face proud of you oh thank you super cute good morning Mark thanks for joining us on the show this morning I've got Miss Megan who I think we just became friends we met one night at Pufferbellies and we're like we're gonna be at each other's Vortex somehow that's yeah and I used to call the radio station I didn't want to talk to Dan I wanted to talk to many did no he was working an angle and I wasn't wasn't feeling it shocker yeah weird leave that one right there should we just jump into the P Diddy news or Jesus Christ before we go further I need to need to check do we have a disclaimer I am a dis walking disclaimer I have to disclaim myself times like language yes you're allowed oh I am you're allowed just we'll we're warning you right now it might get a little crazy in here since you've got little ears probably not the best show for them to watch not good all my kids hear it all the time so they're immune but like some people like don't wor around your kids I'm like well how the [ __ ] are they supposed to learn we had a story this morning in my stack of stuff are you a bad parent for using sarcasm around your children absolutely not are you kidding me that is the basis of my child's lives you have to be intelligent like people think oh comedians you just tell jokes being sarcastic you're wise ass to find sarcasm and and have comedic timing it takes intelligence like you have to be able to read people and like think quick and right if I was like I don't want to be around people who were that serious right when I started my first teaching job among the many things I was warned not to do don't smile until Christmas was using sarcasm yeah it was bad for the kids somehow and somehow harmful to them it seem strange and prohibitive to me but I still thought about it is using sarcasm around your children I you like no I think it's you need to yeah I mean like how do people get through life without it right like I mean I had two military parents you know with that Irish Catholic guilt and I I haven't felt more this is why we're friends in in a long time Megan what talk to me about some guilt and I have turned into my father and the things that come out of my mouth I'm like oh my what happened when did that turn happen it happens like my son will be like oh he had a streak for a while it was that was she said and I'm like everything I said that's what she said and I'm like yeah that's what I said like do it that's great haha now actually do the work thank you I appreciate it for real well you're a mom of two boys and that I feel like just breeds a pile of sarcasm and they're Irish twins yeah yep I don't recommend that timing for people who are like oh let's have them close together or not yeah they're either like conspiring to overthrow the government or wanting to murder each other yeah yeah they do eventually grow out of that but I mean it's not until like later teenage years and they're gross yeah oh not fun what ages uh my youngest is GNA let's see next month will be 10 and a half and my oldest next month will be 12 yeah I feel like that's Peak boy gross time it's yeah until they get into high school they learn oh I don't want to smell like that and oh I should probably the smells aren't my oldest boy is very fastidious about his appearance oh I like that smell and breath and which I appreciate but then he'll turn around and rip a giant fart like this far away from my face and I'm like why is this really how we're GNA play this and Y or I'll go into the bathroom and apparently nobody can change toilet paper roll in my house oh no that's the empty roll and throw it on the floor and then I can't figure out who's doing it there's like little wads of clean toilet paper like next to the like making it rain next to the toilet seat perfect and there's a booger wall I'm like I have to scrape it off with like a it's disgusting and all of them they're like it's not me I'm I'm peeing in the toilet on like that's a lie that's a lie test results say that's a lie I know we got we have a lot of fairy and ghosts and people that don't do anything somebody break into the house when I'm and just pee all over the seat mhm I'd rather pee in the Port Authority Bus Station sometimes disgusting and none of them clean it up I clean up that's why we got a padlock on our bathroom door but I got to tell you my husband's the same thing when he's done with the toilet roll he just drops it on the floor next to the thing yeah like who just on the floor why why like they must think it just magically disappeared yeah it's us it's us that just continuously clean it up after themselves I know I know so we're not going to do that today I actually had a really awesome Mom moment this morning I woke up I dropped my daughter off yesterday to the elementary school she's graduating so she got her little cap and gown on and she went over to the elementary school there was a teacher that was retiring Mrs Cogswell absolutely love her and uh she taught all of my children except my my youngest uh at some point in their career she's retiring and uh Lily wrote this letter uh about how she was like impactful as a mentor oh her life yeah so before they asked her to come over and just read it and they you filmed it and uh she sent me a message this morning it was like 6:00 am and she's like I'm still crying over what your daughter wrote and she's like just to have you know you get up every single day as a teacher and you do the same job every single day for 40 years I couldn't do it my grandmother was a teacher with all of these kids right and you wonder if you're making anything you know you're you're just doing your job right and she's like just I still am reliving that moment of what your daughter wrote down on a piece of paper and just it it was magical and I thank you for you know little thing right and I was like oh bye child okay she took it upon herself it's funny you mention that I had one the other day I went to so my youngest son is Special Needs um he's like half speed not full on but like half speed and um he has a speech delay and he has trouble reading and stuff so they the book fair yeah he's like you please come to my book fair I need help cuz I can't read the titles of the books and I'm like oh my God okay I'll go so um I went and a friend of ours daughter um my kid's Godfather's daughters in my son's class and she'd lost her money and I'm like oh I'm like oh and do you remember the hype of the book fair you just get so excited and that is like the worst feel I had like a $1 bill left and my son Carter my comes up and he goes mommy can can can I use some of my money to buy dinari a book and I'm like tell dinari she can get whatever she wants like of course like in and it's funny her father's always like she loves read she loves and I'm a a huge reader like I'm a a reread like I have so many books my husband's like why do you need so many books I'm like I just need them right and um so I want to encourage that in her and you know it's hard being a little girl and a kid it's just hard yeah period it's just hard exactly and you know then she found her money and she's like no I want to give you the money you help me I'm like all right dinari and you know I let her she's like can I get a post thank you for being that parent I think a lot of people are are willing to do that for others but I just I've always felt like um and you're raising kind people yeah like kind weird people I love it the need some more kind weird people I um I I really truly believe I always say to my kids never let anyone steal you're weird that's what makes you you who wants to be like everybody else that's boring yeah you know and like if somebody doesn't like it that's cool but they still need to be respectful of it I love that we're here in 202 for talking about neurode Divergent talking about conversations that um are we all learn differently we are all very different yeah my so they have they're my older boy having mcast this this week and um shout out to you moms and dads make sure they have breakfast yes know my son's like I need a pound of bacon at 5:30 in the morning sure thing I'll get right on that um but he was so stressed out about the mcast and he has some um diff he's he's a very anxious child yeah and um he has we all have ADHD in my house it's super fun we're not medicated oh the good time it's just a good time and um I remember being stressed like that and I didn't have anybody to be like it's going to be okay it's just and we didn't have mcast back fill in the bubble sheets I forget we had the Iowas right did that we were like oh we just whatever it is I'm G to hold it sideways and write something a cool pattern I don't know I didn't School wasn't school's not for everybody yeah and and I think that you know finally having the conversation about kids learn differently um let's try different things yeah you know and he was so stressed out about his test I'm like you know what stay home I really do feel for for parents out there that are going through that and trying to figure out and navigate those Waters of IEPs and navigate Waters of school hard and it's really hard I've actually had the very unique situation of um navigating that both as a single parent and as a parent with the other parent present cuz I'm messy so I divorced my I guess technically he's still my ex is he still your ex husband cuz you're back together we're back together yeah um I just call on my husband it's easier to be like well I know yeah you don't need to explain your personal life to people have always thought that no I mean it's it's figures you know somebody's like marry for love the first time Mar or marry for money and then I'm like and then there's me just stupid as hell over Mar the same guy over and over it's fine no nothing to see here but you know when I was a single mom trying to coordinate those IEPs like I had to make sure my kid went to daycare in the right School District so we'd have the bus to take him to the IEP because I worked 50 hours a week and I lived in it was just a mess because I live in harwitch but they went to daycare and Dennis and my youngest sons had early intervention since he was like one but you know what the thing is we're talking about it and you're not unique there are so many people that are in your same position so it's just really nice to be like me too I'm dealing with it talk about it and it's really hard my aunt has a special need son and he is an amazing human like they have done the best job he's graduating high school this year he's speaker he got into the college he wanted to go to um they've done a wonderful job and she was so helpful because she's that parent that's like no I'm fighting no you have to do this no this is what the law requires oh you don't want to pay for it well you have to that's what the law it's exhausting and it is but it's been her full-time job she hasn't been able to work yeah it's been her full-time job and it is a full-time job like IEPs like and a lot of people don't know that you can fight that by law you you can ask for an independent review or stuff like and people don't it's so much work I know to advocate for yourself and I'm just people out there that are advocating for yourself we see you and know how much work it is it's hard man good morning Junior what's for breakfast

year and I'm so excited I'm going to get like the fun interviews that I've been dying to get that'll be so fun I well all of the things like the Quilters the people that grow stuff like I'm so curious of other people's Hobbies one of my patients I started crocheting yeah um one of my patients judges the like crocheters I I need to talk to her she's like this hot ticket little old lady like I don't give a [ __ ] and she pushes her card around I saw in the grocery store and she's like where do I know you from and I'm like uh yeah Maddie I I see you like every week for your prescriptions I keep you I see at the pharmacy by the way if you did not know Megan is your your local area pharmacist well I wish I was a pharmacist I'm a pharmacy tech I'm the schlep that counts the pills and Rings the register yeah but you you're the one who gets the ey the anger of the people that are coming can you just talk about this before because I've seen a lot of rants lately on social media for whatever reason ranting Ates and people losing their damn Minds it's you know where I work I'm lucky uh it's not too bad and I have a pharmacist who really backs us up which is awesome um she doesn't let anybody bully us which I appreciate I've worked for two different chains um the three-letter chain as we refer to it oh perfect okay is um yeah you get cussed out a lot um I just Insurance stuff basically is what it boils down to so basically all you need to be a pharmacy tech is a high school diploma and pass a drug screen okay so you have you work with a lot of idiots like like you need to know how to count and like I was really lucky when I went into it I had a large medical background and um so I knew what the hell I was doing but it's insurance it's the price ofs oh what do you mean you can't get my atall I need my w go where's my OIC okay so okay yeah and I'm like bro I don't know well when's it g to be in let me go to my cauldron out back and whiff you some up I would love for you to conjure up in The Cauldron everyone's prescriptions if I could do that I'd be having a grand old time I'd have a lot more money than I do now oh man the day to day and I work in dennisport so things get weird I can only imagine the things that you see what's like the craziest story without you know giving out too much information I would be afraid to work there honestly because people get like um a little aggressive when it comes to that good morning Thomas um awkward ones are um older men demanding early refills on their Viagra all right that's super fun that's that's always a good time um I think one of the most awkward ones I had was a long time ago it was a girl a young girl who had just started taking breath control pills and she didn't realize that you took them orally stop I'm dead serious wow and I was like how have you lived this long you should be sterilized not on the pill sterilization for you do not breed did it did it work though hopefully she didn't get pregnant she didn't get pregnant but she was it was Kur fuff about the whole concept of taking it orally and then some of the directions you have to write on the drugs like you're supposed I've seen some good ones like um it's always I'll put them on people's stuff like on purpose to kind of be a dick like oh use rectly or uh insert vaginally like cuz I'm just a dick I love this instead of use ass Direct by physician use ass directed by physician no no this is how you use it but because you have to because people stupid there's I can't tell you how many the biggest thing that pisses me off is people come on [ __ ] vacation and leave their meds or their kids meds at home and they're like I need my meds now can't you just give me a few no that's you don't even go to a Walgreens you fill it Costco let me magic it up from the clouds I don't even have a prescription that's a lot that's a lot of stress too it's like and that has happened to us before I mean not exactly fun like it happens but you got to go through the insurance and if you have a tech that doesn't know what they're doing and how to do like an in-house Insurance override it's like you got to call the insurance then you call back and they're like well can't you do it no take some accountability that's what pisses me off is the lack of accountability y I think with everything no matter what feel grown you [ __ ] up you fix it y I'm not your mom yeah I love that I I need my Medfield which one well you know what they're on what I'm on uh I do I'm not your wife I don't keep track of your prescriptions bro like step off it's just people are lazy and dumb yep I agree good morning Sarah not lazy hardest working girl I know I was over at sea salt yesterday shout out to the crew over there I had I was driving by because this is what I do in my life um as constantly on the go as I am and I stuck my head out the window and I was like I really need a cotton of color they're like we have time right now like right now right

laugh I love to make people laugh I think I'm in my own head I'm horri I'm a horrible person but I'm funny no you are definitely funny because you use that sarcasm you use that uncomfortable space as
