What happens when two old friends party like it's college all over again? Tune in to this uproarious episode of Two Old Bats in the Belfry, where Shelly G and Vicki Z reminisce about reconnecting with long-lost pals and making new ones who know how to have a good time. We dive into the importance of nurturing these cherished relationships and share the hilarious moments that made us feel young again. Plus, with the growth of our podcast at stake, we underscore just how vital our listeners are in spreading the word and keeping our funky show alive.
But hold onto your tiaras, because we're also unveiling a Mother's Day gift that’s fit for royalty—literally! That's right, Lady Shelly and Lady Vicki are now officially noblewomen, and we're having a blast imagining the perks and playful scenarios this new title might bring. Could a touch of nobility score us better reservations, or maybe just a lot of laughs? We chat about our favorite regal fantasies and debate the best royal monikers, all with our signature humor and warmth. Join us for a royally entertaining episode that celebrates friendship, fun, and the occasional delusion of grandeur.
Hi everyone, this is Shelly G and Vicki Z, and we are Two Old Bats in the. Belfry.
Speaker 2:Well, hi everybody, all our two listeners. Vicki, before we start, I just want to say that I'm very happy that our podcast today is not on television, because today I look like who hit me and ran. I'm wearing my pajamas, you're all dressed up, you look beautiful.
Speaker 2:I'm not dressed up, though, but actually, before we start the podcast, I would like to send a big shout out to some friends. We just spent a few days with a couple that are our very dear and long-term friends, and they introduced us to a group of people that live in the same complex with them. That was so welcome and so warm and friendly and really made us feel great, and anybody who thinks that they can party better than older people and I really resent the term elderly- I do too.
Speaker 2:It was like being in a college dorm at a frat party. I love it we had so much fun and I know that some of the people listen to the podcast and I'm hoping that we can get others to listen as well, but I wanted to extend a warm thank you to our friends and the new friends that we made through our friends.
Speaker 1:Wonderful it is. It's so nice when that happens. Well, it makes it very special.
Speaker 2:Yes yes. And time is passing and you know, I want to make sure that we recognize everybody, Absolutely. And please urge everybody to tell your friends about our funky podcasts, because we need more listeners, because our technical crew is telling us that we need to attract more listeners, otherwise we're going to go down the way of the wayside. Right, but I digress as we move on. Vicki, you know that my children think of you and your hubby as second group of parents.
Speaker 1:And I feel not like I'm the second group of parents for them, but I feel like they are my kids.
Speaker 2:And they gave us, you and I, for Mother's Day the most magnificent gift, unique as they are, they registered us as royalty. We are now Lady Shelley and Lady Vicki through the house of Pierpont Archer. My assumption is that that's somewhere in Europe, uncle Pier, uncle Pond. I just hope it's not in Transylvania. Right, that would be so. I think we should. We should encourage people to call us.
Speaker 1:Lady Vicky, I had always been hoping for goddess, but I will accept lady with an absolutely open and grateful heart like green goddess no, no no, right away, my mind goes right to food I happen to love green goddess, but no, not as a green goddess, but I just love the, the. Oh, I also love the idea of empress.
Speaker 2:Oh, Empress, Vicky yeah, and I of course would be Dowager Sheldon no.
Speaker 1:No, actually it would be Empress Victoria. Ooh, now see, that sounds regal. Yes, that sounds very regal.
Speaker 2:Or Lady. Victoria would even be better.
Speaker 1:Yes, but I'll take what I can get and this is what I got and I'm thrilled, so I could always be Lady Sheldon. No.
Speaker 2:No, no, what I got and I'm thrilled, so I could always be.
Speaker 1:Lady Sheldon, no, no, no. Lady Rochelle, no, I'm not a Rochelle and I'm not a Michelle.
Speaker 2:Really, I am Michelle and I'm a Vicky almost was a Zelda, and if could you imagine, lady.
Speaker 1:Zelda no, no, I know no, we would have to take you somewhere and do something about that.
Speaker 2:But so now that we have royalty, I mean, I've always wanted to be royalty.
Speaker 1:I always thought of myself as royalty. Well, you know what's so wonderful about our royalty? What we don't have dancing at anybody.
Speaker 2:No we also don't live in a palace or a castle. This is true, we don't have a lady-in-waiting?
Speaker 1:No, we don't, unless you want to be my lady and I'll be yours.
Speaker 2:I don't think that would go over very big.
Speaker 1:Probably not.
Speaker 2:What benefits do you think we I mean could we get better reservations in a restaurant or a hotel?
Speaker 1:I would think so, but how do you go about introducing yourself as that? Do you have to put on a British accent?
Speaker 2:Hello, no, I like that.
Speaker 1:I would like a reservation please.
Speaker 2:Yes, you know, we could do that and pretend that we are our.
Speaker 1:Visiting royals. That's right From the Pierpont family.
Speaker 2:I love that you know we should research that and find out where we're from family. I love that you know we should research that and find out where we're from.
Speaker 1:The loony bin is a good place to start.
Speaker 2:We'll find out, pierpont, on an insane asylum, some country in Europe?
Speaker 1:Some obscure country that we've never heard of.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, I don't even know how our creative kids found this. I have no clue. I heard of naming a star after somebody.
Speaker 1:Well, you know what I did once. There is a wall in Australia that they built and each brick that was put into this wall was emblazoned with the name of a donator, and it had to do with something in outer space. It had to do with a space shuttle or something, I don't know what, but I registered several names into that wall. I don't think I'll ever get to see it. Did you have to pay? Yes, but I did it as a gift.
Speaker 2:That was a unique idea as well.
Speaker 1:And it was like it gave me a feeling of perpetuity that my name will be there somewhere. We're also in the walkway at the Arizona SPCA because we donated to help build that facility and we were given a flag.
Speaker 2:So everybody walks on you? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1:Everybody walks on me yeah, lady or not, I'm getting stepped on.
Speaker 2:Well, the only walk I think we should have is on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood.
Speaker 1:Oh, without a doubt, I already have my tiara picked out. I got it for my 75th birthday.
Speaker 2:Oh, there you go yeah.
Speaker 1:I think that's perfect. I think that and a boa, and yeah, and you know, I think that could be a lot of fun. It's always been my dream and it could be really interesting.
Speaker 2:Well, I think that it's about time that we started using our titles to our benefit.
Speaker 1:I absolutely agree, not just hanging our credentials on the wall Right.
Speaker 2:We need to take them out and parade them around. I think so too.
Speaker 1:And we'll leave you with this. Remember, age is mind over matter.
Speaker 2:If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
