In this episode of Chalkboard Confessions, of course we’re talking about love—because it’s February and apparently we’re romantic now. But going deep wasn’t exactly easy… mostly because of what Caroline was drinking. Let’s just say the emotional depth depended heavily on the refill level.
Between questionable life choices in a glass and a Wi-Fi connection that clearly didn’t support love, vulnerability, or podcasts, this episode became a true test of patience, technology, and sobriety.
It’s chaotic, it’s unfocused, it’s slightly romantic… but mostly it’s two moms doing their best—with bad Wi-Fi and worse decision-making. Love was the plan. Survival was the outcome.
In this episode of Chuck Bork Confession, of course we're talking about love, because it's
February, and apparently we are one chicken now.
But going deep wasn't exactly easy, mostly because of what Caroline was drinking.
Let's just say, the emotional depth, depth and heavily on the refill level, between questionable
life choices in a glass and a Wi-Fi connection that clearly didn't support love, vulnerability
or podcasts, this episode became a true test of patience, technology and sobriety.
It's chaotic, it's unfocused, it's slightly romantic, but mostly it's too much doing the best
with bad Wi-Fi and worst decision making.
Love was the plan, survival was the outcome.
Hi my friend!
Hi Caroline!
How are you?
I'm okay!
We're just going to be awkwardly laugh about that.
How are you?
Misurable.
Yeah.
I was like, almost, wanted to cancel the recording because I'm very in pain.
And I said no, because I was, this isn't me.
Well, you have to do.
Yeah.
And so, yes, let's do it.
Yes, maybe it would help me to forget my pain and laugh, it's very good for the brain and the pain.
All of that, I agree.
Yeah.
What are you drinking?
Okay.
So today, I am drinking some sparkly rosé in my pink Madonna in cup.
Mmm, love it.
What are you drinking?
Okay.
I drinking my bottle of water boring.
It's not boring.
I keep hydrated.
Yes.
And I'm drinking a bus ball.
Oh my gosh.
I wanted to try a newer flavor.
So I choose cranberry chiller.
Why I choose that?
Because I have to drink cranberries for my kidney.
So I was okay.
I love it.
I love it.
Okay.
So why not?
Why not?
No, I will pour it.
I put some ice, but I will pour it in the chalkboard coefficient mug.
Love it.
It's ice.
Because in the mug, we don't need to drink coffee or tea or latte or matcha.
No.
It could be used for every drink.
Exactly.
I didn't realize that I have some alcohol inside.
Are you serious?
You know what?
I think you said that in the previous one when you had your first bus ball.
It smells very chemical.
It's a science experiment.
I was okay.
So cranberry is good for my kidney, but alcohol.
Let's try it.
It's weird.
You can't get better than weird.
I don't know.
In my memory, it was more like it looks like a sparkling water with a flavor.
Now, it looks like more liquid and no water at all.
There's no water at all.
And I think it would be good to put that with a dirty drink.
Maybe a little soda involved, or Dr. Pepper?
Yeah.
Dr. Pepper and cranberry, that would be cute.
It smells weird.
What does it smell like?
You gotta tell me.
It smells like chemicals.
And when you drink, I feel a lot of the cranberries.
I don't have any alcohol.
Not really.
So I feel like I'm drinking my medication.
You know what?
It's medicine somewhere.
So I don't know how we'll do this episode.
I think sometimes they will have some French.
Sorry about that.
But it's not bad.
I didn't remember about it.
I was like, because when we did the episode, the birthday episode,
and we speak about the births, was the one of favorite of your sister.
And I was really trying again.
You know?
Because it's true.
I actually love this.
I really love this.
I was like, and it's a special dedicated guest for your sister.
She can do some recommendation of drinking for me.
That's for me.
Okay.
It was like, yeah, I went to the grocery store only for that.
I am.
She's going to be so excited to hear that, by the way.
She wants you to drink all the flavors.
And us to record and see what happens.
And I'm like, I don't know what's going to happen there.
Okay.
So you need to take your fish.
Or I will give a note on this one.
Okay.
And okay.
And when I try your new.
I will put on that and we will see which one will be the favorite.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
This one.
I put to eight.
Eight.
I put.
Remember the last one?
No.
Okay.
Let's find.
We're going to start fresh.
Okay.
We start fresh.
So this one I put to eight.
But I didn't feel the alcohol effect.
I feel like you can drink that like a zero.
Oh, yes.
It looks like a zero.
Like a coke like a coke zero?
No.
Like a zero medicine.
Oh, like.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Like a drink.
Yes.
Okay.
Like a medicine.
Yes.
This is like a medicine for me.
Well, you know, if you magically feel better than it was.
I don't know.
I wouldn't know.
I think I should be able to do it.
I think I should be able to do it.
I think I should be able to do it.
We don't know.
Then we're going to really push for that sponsorship with bus wall.
South future of America.
Yes.
The tie line?
For her kids.
You know.
Yes.
Okay.
Okay.
Now we're getting somewhere with the flavor.
Okay.
So we are the weirdness.
Yes.
Okay.
You can taste the cranberry, and you don't taste the alcohol, but do we have to mix
with some water or no? No, I'll just add a bit like that. Yes, it's small, I took a small one,
just perfect for the size of the mug. Caroline, they only come in that size? No, no, no, no, no, no.
Or the jumbo size. Yes, the jumbo size, that's a part, that's you take it to a party. Yeah,
that is not just for you by yourself. No, but you know not, I think that I really
live with my path. No more pain. It's okay. Maybe I should have an IV of buzz board. It has started,
ladies gentlemen, I love this. So I think this is what my sister meant when she was like, I love
Caroline with buzz balls inside. She inspired me because always with my boring water or my tea,
I'm so grateful. She is my muse for the drink. I love that. Well, I told you, we have to go to
Applebees because Applebees has a buzz ball slushy drink right now for the season. Remember I
showed you? Yes, yes. I have no idea where there's an Applebees. Okay. I'd have to, we'd have to look
that up. It's going to be a whole research situation. We have to do it. We have to maybe we'll do
like a restaurant recording. We'll invite the spice girls. It'll be fun. Yeah, Applebees. I don't
think I've ever been to Applebees in my life, but it'll be a new experience for all of us.
I love that. I love the new, you know, I like to do my first time with you. I know you do. I take
you everywhere on my first time. It's very interesting. We are in February. We are very close
from the Valentine's Day. Yes, so. And because I love the quiz. You love a quiz. You love a quiz.
I find a quiz to know if you are romantic. Oh, I can answer this. I am not.
Oh, no, no spoiler. Let's do it. Okay. Okay. I think that I am not. Question number one.
Your partner gets you flowers. You. A, cry immediately. This is a true love. B, take a photo first,
then say thank you. C, say thank you and ask if he kept the receipt. D, wonder who told him to do
that? Oh, I think you hesitate between C and D. Yes, I really do. It's between C and D. Maybe D,
because one, he knows flowers are not my thing. And like, he should know that by now. Or I'm like,
or in my head, I'd be like, what did he do wrong that he's trying to make up for it?
My gosh, I love him so bad if he brings you flowers for the Valentine's. So this is never
bring me flowers. This episode definitely will be published after Valentine's Day. Yes.
Okay, you don't like flowers? Okay. I understand flowers. I understand what they're for. But I am
a plant in flower killer. I don't know how to keep them alive. Your ideal Valentine's evening is
A, Thunder, Thunder, Light, dinner, music and deep conversation. B, cute dinner and dessert. C,

Yes. Yes. Question three. Have you ever written a love letter? A, yes. Multiple. I am a Shakespeare.
B, yes, but short. C, takes me stitch counts. Right? D, no. I express love by doing laundry.

would do that one. I've never written a love letter. Never in my life. Never ever in my life.
I wrote an email. Love email. Okay. So yours would be like the text message one. Yes.
Yeah. But you wrote one at least. I've never wrote, I've never wrote one. Question four.
Your partner forgets Valentine's Day. You. A, say nothing but cry inside for three days.

Okay. Me, I will be on the notebook. And no, for the first time. I, yes, the first time I watched
notebook, I was crying. Oh, I was, I was moved, but I didn't cry. And by the way, they do the musical show.
So my husband was like, Oh, do you want to see the musical show? And I was no, I'm done with the movie.
Because one time I put the movie in my husband, I'm done in the room and do some comment.
And it was, where is the diary? Oh, my gosh. It doesn't come in like very green.
My movie ruined. Yeah. Question six. When you see an old couple,

Oh, thank you. And I remember one day you were not here and you just apologize not to do my coffee.
It was so cute. I'm like, I'm so sorry. I know.
Eight. B on S, which is more romantic? A, surprise we can get away. B, fancy dinner. C,
clean house and no responsibilities. D, B, O long. B, O long. Sorry. Okay, so for this one,
uh, the first one's spontaneous. We can get away. We can get away. Yes. Let me.
What would you do? You are the tire mom romantic. You are romantic but exhausted.
Romance exists between school drop off at bedtime. That's not bad. That's much more than I was giving
myself. Okay, I'm just tired. You're just a mom tired. And you know, I like that because I was thinking
for me, not as a mom. It's very stressful the Valentine's because it's a school Valentine's
cat last minute shopping and deal with the feeling of the kids because I don't know what they
expecting about it. You know, yeah, because the school make a lot about the Valentine's so it's
complicated. And I was like, it's so funny how I think your conception of the Valentine change when
you, uh, being more older, you know, like when you are a mom. I feel for me. It's like, uh, another
uh, uh, pity me. Another thing we have to do. Yes. Yes. I understand that. Yeah.
I completely forgot about it. It's just because I'm doing your workshop but that was a wise
uh, I'm more exciting about to February 13th. February 13th. I love February 13th because it's
Friday 13th. Friday 13th. Oh my god. So for Friday the 13th usually tattoo shops have like, um,
13 dollar tattoos. Yeah. And I'm dying. I am trying so hard to not go. And I want to go so badly.
But why you don't throw? Okay, you want to go but you won't not won't not go. But I can't throw,
but I won't go. Well, because, but do I need another tattoo? Do you know what I mean?
So permanent. But you have already some tattoo. I know. And that's where I'm like, it runs through
my head and I don't understand why anymore. Like I was at one point, I was just getting tattoos
like whatever. But now I'm like, oh my gosh, I do it. I do it. I do it. I do it. I do it. It's
just so stressful now. Now you should one. You can do like one small small one, right? Yes, on the
wrist. Yes. Oh, see, you are this. You have an idea already what you want. Yes. I kind of just want,
okay. So I always wanted one on my finger. On my pointer finger. I want to do a little happy face.
Maybe my little friend. It makes it makes you happy. So do it. Do it. Do it. Certain deaths. Yes.
Go to the tattoo store next to my home. It's amazing. I know every tattoo shop has some sort of
special Friday the 13th. And tomorrow is Friday the 13th. Now I got one too. So bad.
And you will do it. I probably will. You should why you shouldn't that because it's permanent.
No, there's a lot of things that I've done that are permanent. But I don't know. I think I'm overthinking
it, which I'm supposed to not be doing. This is you are married. This is permanent.
I'm children. That's permanent. Exactly. And it's my original CVDT. I know. I know.
It's those things that are like just the willy nilly of it all. You should do it. I should do it,
right? Yes. It's the buzz ball that's going to convince us to do it.
No, I didn't feel that I didn't feel. No, no, you should do it. It's a small one. If it wasn't big one,
I would be maybe more okay. Think about it and everything. But at the face of the finger,
it's more like a point on the finger. It's nothing. Or even in like like right here in my in my hand,
it's one thing on my hand. I already have one tattoo on my hand, but I want more on my hand.
Okay, I have a recommendation. Tell me. But me, I'm in for 100% okay. What you would be
take a pen and draw a smiley face. Yeah, until tomorrow. Okay, I will do it on my finger. Okay.
Okay. I love it. You're drawing a smiley face. But the old school smiley face, the ones I had
like the circle. Yes. Yes. And he has. He's so cute. I don't know. I would think I would find it
funny. You know, like when you have a bad day and you're looking at your hands and you're like,
oh, I'm so happy. So do it. I don't understand which reason you should not do it.
I don't have a reason. And just I think I like I said, I think I'm overthinking everything
these days and things that I should not be overthinking that are just like so easy that I should
just be saying yes to are the things that I'm overthinking and the things that I'm supposed to be
overthinking. I'm like sure. Let's go. Did you put on your vision about family stuff over
thinking? I don't know. I don't. Yes. I think I did. Okay. It's not working. It's not working.
So now tomorrow, after your day walk, you'll be cool there. Okay. Okay. So you are like me.
For me, like everybody say Friday, Saturday, it's scary. It's a bad luck. Ah, you are like me.
For me, it's like my lucky number. I love it. But it's still a sweet number. No.
It's a sweet number. I think it's a fun number. I feel people thinking it's a bad luck
and are superstitious about Friday started. Maybe they are negative people.
Because I feel like if you think negative, it wouldn't be negative. If you think positive, it's
positive. I agree. You know, you see me or maybe a heart. No, no, no, no, no, no, I, I want a lightning bulb too.
The lightning bulb? Yes. Like, um, oh my God. I've got to show it to you. A lightning bulb.
Like, you know, the flag. I don't even know how to explain it. I'm just going to text you.
Lightning bulb. It just texted to you. Ah, yes. Yeah. It was for something like that.
The sample of the gospel trope of my daughter. Oh, really? Yeah. That's cute. I love that. Can you
say it? Do you like my love? Yeah. This is so original. I never see that on anyone. And I agree
with you. It feels like when you are on the nerve, mad, upset, or you are badly just looking,
you just smiling. That is what I've been thinking about all this week, which is like overthinking.
Again, I've been overthinking everything except the things I should be overthinking.
Okay. So you have to, you have to do it for two reasons. It will prove you start to oversinking.
Yeah. And then second things make something. Do something that make you happy.
I, that would make me very happy. So do it. You want that coming? You a visible?
No, you're not supposed to drink when you, when you have a tattoo, you're not supposed to drink.
Uh, I didn't know why you know why? Well, supposedly, this is why. Supposedly, the alcohol makes your
blood, um, makes you bleed. But like, you know, because you know, like they're put, it's a needle thing.
So yeah, makes you need more. Supposedly, the alcohol level is high. It makes you bleed more. I don't
know. I've never drank. Actually, that's a lie. I think it's a lie. I think it's a lie too.
I think it just didn't have the license for the alcohol. Maybe. I was like, wait, the last tattoo
I got. I was so drunk. I don't remember how I got it. Seriously? Tell me. Tell me the story.
Oh my gosh. Um, it was one of my friends birthday. We went to brunch and then we went around
Hollywood and did Hollywood, um, like touristy things. Like we went to Madame Tussle. We walked around
Hollywood. And then for lunch, we ended up at like Cabo Cantina, drink like really big margaritas.
And then there was a tattoo shop across the street. And we were like, let's go get tattoos. And we're okay.
That's the last I remember. Okay, apparently, you were right. You have to hold consuming alcohol at 24
for 24 and tattoo. And that has a third thinner causing increased bleeding, which deletes
ink ruins or fades the design and makes the artist work difficult. It also hinders the healing
process, increased pain from sensitivity and lower, lower immunity. Well, I was drunk as a stunk.
Before advice, get a good night's sleep, stay hydrated with water, of course, and water.
A meal before Ed. After at least 24, 48 hours after the session before consuming alcohol to
lose the initial healing process to begin. So this is now you're right. Oh, I thought someone just said
that just so we wouldn't be drunk, but we were already drunk. Oh my gosh. And how is your tattoo?
It's good. Yeah, it's the one on my hand. Hold on, where is my where's my? Yeah, it's good.
Yeah, yeah, it's I've had it for over 10 years. No ties. It's fun. Yeah.
Nice. That's why you don't really pay. You can't really see it. Like when my hands are together,
you can kind of see it a little bit right here. Yeah. But for the most part, that's like the one
that nobody notices. I would like a tattoo and not oh my gosh, I shouldn't. Yeah, I feel like I'm
not brave enough to have one brave enough, really. And yeah. And in the same time, I don't know what to do.
Maybe a something small in the neck like the evil eye. Oh, I like that for you. Full protection at all
time. Caroline, why not? Why not? Why not? But tomorrow we're doing a date. Tomorrow we're
probably getting tattoos. It's every every Friday the 13th. They do some sort of special.
So let's see when's the next one. Oh my god. So if we don't do it this Friday the 13th,
next month is also has a Friday the 13th. No way. So again, think about the continue to drink my
bus. We drink more bus balls. You'll be all in. Then after that, we don't have any more
Friday. Oh, and then the next Friday the 13th would be in November. Oh, it's a good one during
Halloween spooky season. I love that. You have some time to think. What happened? Where's she
go? We lost Caroline. Oh no. Hold on. Hopefully she'll come back. There she is. What happened?
I know. I don't know where I was talking to myself. I was like, what happened?
I begin to be drunk. Yes. I told you. They creep up because you were like, it's fine. I'm fine.
And then you're not fine. So what did you say about the tattoos? Sorry, we were cats.
What did I say? You want to overtake him until March 13th? No. If I do it, I'm going to do it tomorrow.
And then we'll do it again in March 13th. I have three times, but I can do it. That's three different
tattoos. Yeah, you can do this. Tomorrow and March 13th, you do the light
in a light or a lightning bulb. Yeah. So do you know what happened tomorrow? What's happening tomorrow?
On the TV. Tomorrow on TV. Then with this time. Friends. Oh, yes. I was like, wait, what?
What? And I knew this because we were talking about it.
Jeez. So, if right classes do like, you say a class ma, you know, I can speak.
Is that bus bus? Yes, you know, we made the like the first one to go and sell ball spits.
Oh, my God. Placement. I did a placement. Yes. And that's not the wordless form, but whatever.
The rankings. Is that it? Yes. The ranking is in 10 in the 10. He's in 10th place. Yes.
Out of how many? How many are in competing? Is he that? No, he's not the last. I think they have 12 or 16. Let me check.
Let me check it. Take a picture of that. No, he's at the very bottom. Yes.
I hope everyone remembers or if they heard us last week, we are, we're watching. I'm zering from 901O.
Um, compete on Dancing with the Stars in France. Yeah. I started following him on Instagram,
so I knew that he had a break and he came back home to LA to see his kids and then he went back to
friend, to friend. Oh, I didn't know that. You don't know. Oh, my God. You know more than me. I'm
probably a little stuck in him, but he came, uh, how long in Paris in LA?
Um, I think it was just for like the week they had off or something. I was like a, like five days.
Oh, it's pretty much. It's great. It's, it's a lot of fun. I did travel. Yeah.
I know. I know. Nine hours of a plane. Wow. That's a lot. You really need money.
He really, really, he really does. He really does. Okay. Please forgive me, everyone.
Forgive me. I'm a little bit drunk. So forgive me. I will laugh about something. I should not laugh.
Oh, no. You see, we'll pass away. Switch.
Yes, I did. Okay. Everyone has to remember that our coping. This is how we know how to cope with our
trauma. We laugh. Okay. We don't mean that in any disrespect, but yes, I did see who passed away. It
was so sad. That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. And I didn't know, yes, so much kids. Yeah, yes, six kids.
And they organized a fund the up for it. They did. Because apparently they were,
they spend all their savings on his treatment that he's had,
has had treatment for two years now. So they spend all his savings. My sister had mentioned
a few months ago that he was selling like his memorabilia that he had from Dawson's Creek.
Ah, yeah. Yeah. That's what she had told me. And I was like, it can't be that bad. But apparently they,
the, you know, healthcare in America is not great. It's expensive. Oh, no. Did I lose you again?
I lost Caroline again, but that's okay. She'll pop back up, but we're talking about Dawson.
Um, James Vanderbeek, you're back. You're back. This is so, no, this is making things so much more
interesting, actually. I love that your computer is a little drunk too. Yes.
So we have to explain. We don't know why students. Yeah, you don't see anymore.
It's got any comeback right away. It's so weird. I don't touch any button, nothing.
I don't move, nothing. So I don't know what's happening tonight. It's crazy night.
I feel all my, I don't like from the night pass away, Shannon Doeach.
Uh,
Jillian Nike. I don't know. Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Yeah. Yeah. He's dead. I'm sorry. We're bad at this. We should not talk about the, the
non, the ones that are not here anymore. We are so bad at this part. We cannot.
But yes, he also passed all the, all the, the idol, the 90s idols are unfortunately passing.
And they're all passing from like cancer, unfortunately. Yeah. Yeah. Not dead, Mikey.
I actually don't remember when he passed. We're going to look that up. I don't remember
what he passed from, honestly. But, you know, I want to write is Dylan McKay because I can't
remember his name. I was like, can you tell me the real name? Because I couldn't land my case
in two hours. I know. Look, Perry. Just look, Perry. Okay. Yes.
I'm like, I'm never his name either. I'm re-drinking too much.
He passed away from what? Yeah. No, I think he was. Oh, no, he had a stroke.
A stroke. Yeah, a stroke. But he was young. He was only 52.
Oh, gosh, my, the one I was in love, 52. He passed her 52. Yeah.
That's stressful. I don't like this. The sun is like less than 50.
48. Yeah. Which is so crazy. You know, but, you know, I know, and the one, another one from the 90,
Chandler Bing. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Why do you say the character name? And I cannot think of their name
to save my life now. Goodness gracious Caroline. Oh, my God. What is his name? Matthew Perry.
Oh, my God. I can't. Yes. Unfortunately, he was a tragedy.
A tragedy. They're all tragedies. But his was. I don't think I don't think that he
invented it. Nobody. No, nobody from the TV show.
One tree hill. Not that I'm aware of. No. Did, did some, no, no. No, you're completely sure.
Oh, my God. That's because that was a little, there are a little bit younger than like Dawson's Creek.
And 90210, you know, that's like, at least a few years.
You know, how I realized, there is alcohol in a bus bowl. Tell me.
Because I wanted to do the, the self cashier. Maybe not you. Yeah. And I was way, it doesn't work.
I scan two times, you know. And the men come and say, no, this is the liquor. So you have to pay
with me. And I was, oh, they have alcohol. I love it. I love that you forgot, though.
I completely forgot. I love it. It was on that. It was one year ago.
It was. It was. I think it was exactly what we, when year ago, maybe my God.
Did you do for a Valentine's?
We do one for a Valentine. We spoke about our first case and crush.
You don't remember now. If you remember, I'm just like, no, it's too much.
I'm surprised if I remember. That's too much. That's too much.
Oh, I can't. Baby steps. I'm still working on my memory.
Exactly. Yeah. Baby step. So the real question right now, it's to know if you will do tomorrow.
Yeah. That's too. Yeah. Well, I get a Friday, the 13th tattoo. I guess we're going to find out.
You'll find out sooner than everyone else, but everyone else on the part that listens to our
podcast would find out next week when we record again. Now we do some synth spence in
the podcast. We never do that. We never leave anyone hanging or maybe we'll just post it on our
Instagram. We'll see how that works. We'll see. Oh, I love that. If you want to find out,
just go on social media. Yeah. Pictures of my hands. All right. Well, let's wish everyone a
happy Valentine's Day, whatever you guys are doing. By the time you listen to this, it would have
passed Valentine's Day. So tell us, are you a romantic? Are you not a romantic? Did you celebrate
Valentine's Day? Do you celebrate GAL in time's day with your GALs instead? Do you just celebrate
with your kids? All of that stuff. Tell us on social media. We want to hear from you.
Caroline, happy Valentine's Day.
And as always, please follow us on Instagram. Listen to us wherever you get your all your
podcast, wherever you listen to all your podcasts. And we will see you next time. Bye.
