Speaker 1 (00:00):
Cocktails. Oh my god, I want to run up and
down the street and do cartwheel my liquor pick of
the week. I don't even know, my god, it seems
like a spiked coffee.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Delicious, right.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
I feel like I'm watching a drama unfold Tail the Cocktails.
So let's get in on. You're listening to Tails of
the Cocktails. We're bad consistent, as consistent as we can be.
Because you were away last week, yeah yeah I was,
but you know we had intended on doing this on

(00:39):
a consistent basis, even if it's a little shorter and
fun sized exactly, which I'm so happy about. We've gotten
great feedback so far.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I know everybody nowhere.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
First off, I have to ask, what is it like
being behind the board astro? Like we're in totally different spots.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I am freaking out right now because imagine we're not recording.
I mean we are, we are, right, yes we are,
but imagine the levels are bad or something. Because you know,
I don't have any headphones on. I can't hear anything.
I don't know what's going on. I'm just weighing it
right now.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
I saw you you she made a face like.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Worried.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
I was like, is it breaking news?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
You know? I made the face. I made the face
because one of you guys were loud, probably Danielle, and
all of a sudden I saw I saw the line
jump up, and I'm like, oh, maybe our mics are
too hot. Let me just bring them down. You know,
sometimes you do have to fade out that intro a
little bit, which is what I was doing. And then
I'm like, it's not feeding on what we're hearing, but
it's definitely fading in the recording. Yeah, oh you're so good.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, you must know how to do this.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I mean, it's not my first rodeo, maybe my second.
I have to excuse me that I'm barefoot in the studio?
Is that gross?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Is that what that smell was?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
It's raining though outside? How are you barefoot?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I don't know why I decided to wear shoes that
didn't require socks today, but my feet got wet and cold.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
A pair of socks here. Slippers you should absolutely.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
You know Josh Martinez from Z one hundred, Yeah, crocs
and lippers and everything.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
He leaves his locker open.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
It is it is always unlocked.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Is that weird?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
If I'm going to go in there and steal everything.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Too big on me.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I mean he's not like a size twenty shoe or
something like that. It's huge.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I mean you'd you'd be swimming in them. And then
again you don't know where his feet have been down.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
I never share foot stuff, my socks, my shoes, and
my underwear.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Toothbrush, yeah, I don't share that.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
No, no, never.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Unless you want to get revenge on someone, you take
the toothbrush and scrub with the toilet. You only read
And I had this in the prep maybe a couple
of months ago, that when you have guests over someone's house,
there's like a high percentage of people that will borrow
things from the host's bathroom, and the toothbrush was included.
Ew I could never. I'm sorry. I don't care how
much I love you, how close of a friend you are.

(02:49):
I don't even care if you're my boyfriend and I'm
banging you.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
I'm not using no, but just like ask because a
lot of the times you have those extra toothbrushes lying
around when the ones you get from the dentist.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Right, if someone it's a toothbrush like I have, I have,
I have quantity. I feel like I am the dentist.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Also like, that's a fun story too, because I don't
remember how we brought that up. I guess we both
had dentist appointments and right previous life. Did you know
this Danielle that she used to be a dental assistant?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yep, I.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Love.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's why teeth that's so bright?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
She probably teeth I do. Do you have your own
what do they call a cabatron? No? I need one
so bad. The dentists always look at me like, why
would you, like you need to know how to properly
use it. I'm like, I do know how to properly
use it. Wow. But then they actually do say to me,
they're like, you definitely use the explorer because you're always like,
I'm like, I checked my teeth. I checked the cabin.
That's the little mirror one. It looks like you know,
well it comes with the mirror, but it's got the

(03:44):
little hook. It almost looks like a captain hook claw.
And that's the one that they tap your teeth with
to feel for any mini holes. So you put that
around and if it gets stuck and you have to
pull it out of a hole, that's a mini cavity.
What is the.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
One that had it's like a smaller hook, you know, small,
and then there's one that's like a smaller hook.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Is this are you talking about the the cavatron? It
doesn't know.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I'm talking about like the actual like metal tools that
they use with their phones.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
One's a little scaler, so that's probably what you're talking about.
It has like the little bit of a hook to
it because that's what helps to scrape. Yes, you can
get underneath the gum and scrape around the noise. The noisy. Yeah,
it's nails on a chalkboard. I have sensory issues. I'm
sure nobody likes this, but as someone who has sensory
issues with lights and sounds and textures, it's such a
combination of things that is so offensive. And do what

(04:34):
I do and get the gas. I always get the
guess ye listen, even for a cleaning. I'm over there
with the gas on. I'm like, I just need it.
People like, what are you doing? You're only getting a cleaning.
I'm like, I just want to be high, Like I
want to be out of my mind. Okay, there's a
there's a clip for the intro.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, there you go, there you go.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Clip Danielle House moving.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh god, let me tell you, I cannot wait.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
You look stressed. I am.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
I'm stressed between the move, the holiday flip and jingle
Ball and skating in Central Park and all the events
that are going on.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'm exhausted. But you know it's fine. I'm fine.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
But you know what you do. That's the best. I
come in here a lot of the times and you're like,
how's it going, Guys, Like, I'm feeling really good. This
is the place where you can kind of let it out. Yeah,
you're allowed to be stressed. You're allowed to let it out,
just as long as it's not a fart.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
No, No, I won't fought.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
I'm perfect.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
No, but it's great.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
You know, I'm packing, but I have piece of cake
coming that bringing me by bins.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
They are the best movers ever. About the bins because
I saw Maxwell had just posted about it, so you
know what. I didn't have the bins because I did
the white Glove service, but the bins. I was hoping
to get the bins. But the difference is with the bins.
They bring you all these big pink bins because obviously
their color is pink, and you pack the bins yourself
with all of your stuff. So this way, when they
come it's already packed that they're just kind of moving

(06:01):
it out and then they move the bigger stuff on
their own. For me with the White Glove Service, they
came in with boxes and they actually packed everything, so
I didn't even have to pack a dish. Like absolutely
personal items like what a dildo, I don't have one

(06:24):
person is like anything like your jewelry. Well, I mean, okay,
so like my expensive stuff I put into my my
luggage and then I brought that myself, so I knew
that I was carrying computers.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Are orried about these guys.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
I never was. It's not that I'm worried.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
I'm just more worried that things could get lost because
I write all of.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Your things to another location. Personal things like you know,
the passport or any type of jewelry, my bags, my shoes,
all that stuff I put into my would be in
a safe right. Well, I mean those shoes are a
lot of money.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, she's got some banging shoes over there.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's like, but I put those in my luggage and
that I took on my own because I figured, let
me just take this just in case the truck gets lost,
I mean with the wrong address. Imagine somebody else has
all your shoes. Wait, so how many bins are you getting?
Do they do? They get to give you a number.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Of you know what I have to look. I have
to email Ellie.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Actually I have to call.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
She's been wonderful.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
She She's like, Danielle, you know you're so nice.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
I'm going to give you another five percent off.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
I was like, oh my gosh, I know they're so great.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
So I was like, that's so nice.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
But like, even like disregarded discount, they have been so
amazing to work with, Like every question I have, Oh, hi, Danielle,
here's the information that you requested.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Have a great day.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Thank you. You know, like so pleasant, so nice and
just so easy to work with. And I cannot wait
for them to come over and help me move and
then help me move into my new building.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
And then they unpack all of your well actually they
put your bed back together. Yes, they put your couch
where you want it. They put everything together for you.
I swear. I was just like wow, I'm like, these
guys are so good. I feel like moving just to
move so I could have them again. I need to
move to the apartment next door. Can you come over?
That's a lot because moving sucks. It does, and it's
so crazy.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Because Maxwell said to me, oh I'm moving, I said,
oh my gosh, let me introduce you to Ellie from
Piece of Cake.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
And that's how he got into Piece of Cake. So
I introduced you to Pie.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
We're just look at me. I'm not a well in
case you had to move or you need to move
something to storage, You've got Piece of Cake. Perfect. Okay.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Now here's the thing though, somebody who has ADHD. How
long do you have to unpack those bins and return them?
So the pink bins, I believe, Maxwell said he has
a week to return.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
We get one wee Okay. Do you know what executive
dysfunction is? I know. Well that's why when I'm oh man,
I had friends came over to help me unpacked, because
for me, it would have taken me months to unpack.
But my friends came over. We had like an unarty
because I know, you know what it is. I wanted
to here's the thing. So the first time I moved,
I remember when I came into the city. My good

(09:16):
friend Christy was so kind. She goes, I'm gonna come
over and let me tell you something. I had to
work that day. I was at my other radio station.
I got to tell you I went to work. I
came back to an apartment like she unpacked and hung
up all my clothes, even put decals on the wall.
She had like curtains up. I was in a legit
or like it looked like already. Remember we were doing

(09:37):
the pod way back when and then COVID hit. Christy
was the one that made us those.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Adorable tales of her contest masks. Like before anybody was
able to really purchase the masks in the stores, she
made us these beautiful custom.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Made masks by her little sewing machine. She's nice person.
Speaking of Christy, I gotta say so. I had my
birthday party over the weekend. Thank you. She came with
this tray of cupcakes that she had made. They were
so she made them, she had someone make them.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Oh, I was like, how does she have no she
had someone.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
To make these cupcakes. They are so extravagant. They looked
like they were picked out of a field of flowers.
Like it was beautiful, look beautiful. She loves you. She's
you have your chosen family. Yeah, she's She's sister, She
really is. She's so incredible. I love her so much. Yeah,
you guys too, obviously, I feel like you guys are

(10:33):
my chosen family too. Oh my god, don't make me
cry and look at us. I mean, here's the thing.
We have been on hiatus for about five years, but
not personally, right, there's a lot. There's just been a
lot of changes.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I think we've gotten closer in the last five years.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah, the three of us, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
I mean, luckily, we've always still gotten to see each
other mostly on a daily basis for the most part,
you know. I mean except during the COVID time when
we would have to do everything over zoom. But once
we got back to the office, it was like businesses.
I didn't really see you a lot when you were
at page six, right, because I was always leaving here
early and I would show up late. Yeah that's not true.
I'm always like five minutes ahead. Yeah, I know you

(11:12):
are always on time, but I was the one that
was leaving like super early just so I could get
there on time. So it's like, yeah, I feel like
I only got to see you on Instagram for the
most part, but I think you know what a lot
of people don't know is that the two of you
helped carry me through probably one of the toughest times,
which was playing out in front of everyone, but no
one saw it. Remember when.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
I mean basically, like long story short, bought a house
with the expectation someone was going to be involved in
that house, right starting a new life, starting a new life,
but also financially too. It put me in a really
weird spot. And I didn't get an explanation nothing. I
just got a I showed up and my you know,
before I moved, my superintendent told me that like that
was it.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
I got posted.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
I got posted in the weirdest way because normally that
happens when you're dating somebody and it's a new relationship.
And I remember I was coming in I think I
was feeling in on the morning show. You were also
filling in on the morning show and before it was
officially yours, and I remember like us like just sitting
in here just being like what the actual.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Can we curse? What the actual fuck? And and you know,
just still like nobody had any idea. I'm still actually
in shock over that whole thing, because you know what sucks.
And I don't want to say too much because you know,
I don't want to, you know, say anything about anyone's character.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
But like, okay, but.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
But you know the actual fact that happened to me. Yeah, no,
you don't have to say it. I'll say my my
take on it. I just feel that at the end
of the day, if somebody wants to exit a relationship,
let's say, at least have a sit down in a
conversation over it. But the way that it was handled,
in my opinion, it was just so It's such a
it was such a cowardly move, coming home to your

(12:55):
superintendent having to tell you, and then all the cats
were gone, like it was, like you no explanation to
this day still the level of trauma. And yeah, never
heard from him ever again, that's just ghosted all of
his friends. And here's the thing, things that I didn't
realize that were going on at the time, Like I
was being taken advantage of right financially, like the whole time.

(13:15):
But when you're in something, you don't see it until
you're out of it because you want to give everyone
the benefit of the doubt. And I think that's really
what's so important about this podcast is just bringing.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Awareness, like you don't have to settle. You can be
happily single if it's not the right fit. You can
be happy in your own right, you know.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Like I like what Kim Kardashian said recently, like the
longer you're single, the more comfortable you are. And I
kind of feel that way because now I've been single
for seven years. Guy prefer seven years. Yeah. The fact
is a lot of the times that I'm not saying
this with everyone because everyone's different, but a lot of
the times and typically women will carry a lot more

(13:56):
of the emotional weight because of emotional beings. We are
to regulate other people's emotions as well as our own.
And it's a lot like you came in here very
clearly stressed because you have a lot going on and
that's just your stuff. Yeah, right, and imagine anything else
that's going on outside of your stuff that you have

(14:16):
to handle.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, ladies, let me tell Let me tell you.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
When you just have a little tiny cat that follow
or dog that follows you around, that adores you, is like,
that is what my world is at this time. He
just lays, Yes, you have to tell everybody that you
have a cat. Oh.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
The fact that I was more devastated about the loss
of the cats, I think said.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
A lot at the time.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
So two days later, I was on Instagram and I
saw this call for urgent fosters needed, and I was like,
I'm moving in a week, but like, what the heck,
I need some cat cuddles. I fostered a little tiny
house panther and he was so skinny and underfed, like
he came off the streets of the Bronx, like he
was on the Highway. He's from the Bronx, He's from
the Oh god, Jenny, it was a foster fail. Two

(15:01):
days later I adopted him in This little boy, he
just sits on my chest, He purs he knows like
he loves you.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
He does.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
I've never been so adored in my life, and I
wish that for everyone listening for you, guys, whether it
be human love, whether it be some sort of pet,
it could be friend love.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
As long as someone is adoring you for the amazing
person that you are. Yeah, absolutely, And that's esecially how
it happens too, because I remember when I was in
my last relationship, I didn't want to let go of
those dogs.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
That what do.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
I do get my own dog, so it's like the
same thing.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Actually, and you know, it's like I can't do anything
without Nyla now, Like I love her so much, and
it's like it sucks. I think to myself, they're not
going to be here forever.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
I know, But you know what, you have so much
love in your heart and I don't know, I just
I feel so passionately about rescuing animals and providing them
the best life. There's something so rewarding about that.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
And I honestly think I think we're both please the
whole ex situation with you.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
I think that we're all in a much better place. Yeah.
I know. I feel the healthiest, I mean, despite my
health issues, mentally healthy. Yeah. And I feel like I
feel and look the best I ever have. We agent
were first glass. Yes, yeah, you know this is why
they say, you know, having someone sometimes really sucks the

(16:21):
life and stress about you. It's just that's what makes
you so stressed out.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
I forgot her Instagram handled. But there's a woman who
analyzes photos and videos of people in relationships. I next
time she pops up, I will share it and she
will say, this person is in a draining relationship. Look
at the before, look at the after, and you can
kind of see it's not just about looks. It's about
having tired eyes.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
It's about just about your glow, your glow become you
can see one of those people in the relationship is
an energy vampire. And if it's a heterosexual relationship, I'm
sorry to say, most of the time it's a man,
a man sucking the life of a woman. And it
always happens. Again, not all men.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
We don't, we're not men eaters, but statistically speaking, statistically true,
it is true. Real quick, before I have to actually
take over and do my real show, Astra doing a
really cool event. I guess that's part of a promotion
with the morning show that you're doing.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
Well.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
It's sort of something like, it's this story that I
found something happening here in New York City. It's called
the Fields. And since we are all single, it's a
new way of dating apparently, so if you're tired of
the apps, which we all are, this is more of
an immersive experience. So the way that they explain it
is it's a three hour experience. You have guided meditation,

(17:36):
you talk about your current feelings, you do a body scan.
There's eye gazing you mean by body scan, like you're
just like looking people up and down. There's breathing exercises.
It's all like taught by these these women who have
their master degrees. And then they have touching involved and
touching meaning holding hands, lugging.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Wait, you're gonna wear that to go get touched? I mean,
what's wrong with what I'm wearing today?

Speaker 1 (18:00):
You're going going tonight? Yes, you should go tonight.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
I can't go tonight. I'm going to see the Christmas Spectacular.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh well maybe let Astro test it out.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Yeah, I'm just curious you're going to show up just
like for the touching portion.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, I'm curious because there are pictures that show people
laying on the floor, which I like. Yeah, and that's
part of the touching process. I think it's going to
be like, you know, how you can feel people's energy,
Like we're just talking about energy suckers, so like you
can kind of feel a person's energy by being around them.
You could tell if a person has good good vibes,
bad vibes.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Also, speaking of energy, I feel like now I am
so more in tune to that.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
I almost want to go as like your little like
carbon monoca bad energy detector because I stay away from him.
Oh go talk to him this one. I'm a little
fifty to fifty on like, yeah, you can sense a snake. Well,
what's crazy is that producer Anthony is going to be
coming with me. Okay, well he's not going to be
the one that you're now. He's not going to sense anything.
He's gonna be He's gonna want to be touched. I

(19:00):
don't know judging how holding hand holding, hand hugging, maybe
rubbing an arms, shoulder to shoulder. I don't know. Again,
I've never done this, so we're gonna have to. We'll
do a little recap. We'll do a recap on the
next episode because it's quite interesting. Cultish maybe not, maybe not.
I sound like a hater. It actually sounds like a
listen if I come back with a husband, but tomorrow, guys,

(19:21):
I'm feeling the hate.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
But at the same time, I think that this is
a much better solution than the apps, because people just
go on the apps and lie, and people go on
the apps speak and they're married right.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
And people like people have bad intentions. It's like it's
become basically doom scrolling right. I want the more in
real life, you know, conversation. I want to feel your energy.
I want to talk to you and see what your
personality is about. I can't tell that it's one dimension.
On an app you're looking at a picture. They might
have a bad photo and you swipe because you're like ill, gross,
But well they might have been that could have been
my husband because the energy, the energy, right, I didn't

(19:52):
feel it, you know, but you feel it. That's sad.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
With that energy, we're gonna leave you with some good
energy to get you through the rest of the day
or night, whatever time. You're listening well throughout our socials,
which is I always forget, So.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
I'll start with mine. It's Astra on the air. I'm
Wendy Wild Radio.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
And I'm Danielle the Lilloa.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
There's a lot of l's there. You want to no,
I don't want to spell it.
