Sofa Talk: Crime Scenes to Celebrities and the Quirks of Middle Age

Send us a text

Have you ever caught a calculating glance from a serial killer or pondered the implications of a hungover Riverdance audition? Join Trisha Kennedy-Roman, Lisa Kelly and Dr. Pam Wright on a journey through the peculiarities of middle age and beyond. From the pride of Trisha's Air Force Academy appointment to the civic complexities of jury duty, we weave tales of life's unexpected quirks with humor and authenticity.

Join us on the sofa as we pull back the curtain on the chilling world of crime scene research, recalling my days as a news reporter and the eerie experiences that came with it. Ever heard of a body farm in Knoxville? We'll take you there, metaphorically, of course. And because we love to mix the macabre with the glitzy, we debate the snubs and surprises of the Oscars, celebrate contrasting cinematic wonders, and dish out on celebrity life, from Taylor Swift's rumored engagement to Travis Kelce's down-to-earth family values.

As we wrap up, we don't shy away from the deep or the trivial—pondering whether we'd prefer the luxury of a personal maid or chef, and sharing endearing tales of love and lifelong friendships formed through the most serendipitous encounters. Our conversations aren't complete without considering alternate paths, like the skies of a flight attendant, or the promise of intriguing future guests, from mediums to sex therapists. So grab your earbuds and settle in for a season of genuine connection, laughter, and a smidgen of Irish slang for good measure.

We'll miss her, but we are gladto be here again tonight to do

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, the trio.
A rainy night in Georgia.
It's a rainy night it is.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
yeah, it's gonna be raining too, just getting warmer
.
I know I think.
I know I know Lisa's not reallyexcited about the weather.
I'm gonna get it in.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
It gets cold again next week, back to the 30s but
then highs of 60s.
But yeah, I know the rain isterrible.
I hate hot rain.
I don't know how you guys haveput it in for us.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I don't think it's hot rain.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Right now it's still pretty cold, but it's gonna be
for five days, right?
I know you're like looking atme like cold.
It's not cold.
Yeah, it's just cold it is.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, no, I know this kind of weather is the worst,
though.
This is sookie weather yes, butthe cold, the winter is gone.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Maybe it's only in January have to wait for grand
talk day.
Oh yeah, that's what, February18th.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Is it the first?
I think it's February 1st.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah, not sure.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I think it is February 1st or 2nd.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
We need to see how often is that groundhog right?
Is he correct?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Probably, it's very often.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Oh, is it 50%.
75%.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I don't know, I've never heard it in a sense.
So I moved to America and thenyou're like what is this?

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's about as accurate as a weatherman, I
think.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
That's exactly.
We're gonna look at our weatherbased on the groundhog.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
She's like what is this, what is this?
And he was grand talking.
I thought it was a movie.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
It is a movie, but yeah, see him.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Everyone have a good week.
Yeah, and I did.
We had our celebration for myson in the Air Force Academy.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
So that was all the day.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
That's why I'm dressed up and not in scrubs.
I know you look so nice.
It was so fun.
I was very, very proud of him.
Super excited.
Is he excited?
Very excited?
It was a really nice ceremony.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
Good.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Did they do that for every kid, or was it just his
school that do it for?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
everyone.
I think it just depends,because the congressman came to
so it was probably his schedule,so some people just get a call
with their appointment, but theymade a pretty big deal about
him this time so it was prettycool.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
I'm excited for him.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
He's going on Such an honor.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, maybe fabulous.
Yes, I'm excited, so excited.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
Very proud.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
And Ashley, I gotta move my mic.
I feel like I'm looking to theright, sorry for the sound
effects, but I couldn't look atyou guys.
So Ashley is doing jury dutynow.
I'm so jealous.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
No, why are you jealous?
That's like my worst nightmareExactly.
Nobody wants to do jury duty.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I would do it if it was like a really good industry,
like a date line We've listenedto so much true crime, though,
I think we'll be like it'sreally nice.
They won't let us Like it's atraffic ticket.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
They probably wouldn't want.
Yeah, they wouldn't want to.
Yeah, my friend did jury dutynot so long ago and it turns out
when she, after the case, youknow, she called me and she told
me about us and I was like Iknow that guy, are you doing?
I knew the guy so I wouldn'thave been able to do it yet it
was a local man who had beenshot.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Now it's the worst family world to see jury duty
papers.
Yes, I've never seen them.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
We might have to now because you're a citizen, but
I've never been asked to do itin Ireland either, so
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know what it is about me?
Yes, have you guys seen thereal if we have talked about
this before the reality TV showjury duty?
Yes, you were.
Yeah, you were telling me aboutit.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Is it good?

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Oh my gosh, it's so good you never watched it.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
I haven't watched it, yet I loved it.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I loved it.
It was like what's your problem?
Like the Truman show, where theguy who he thought it was on
jury duty and everyone elsearound him they were all actors.
And it was hysterical and hebasically went through this
whole trial and just reallyshowed his character, which is
amazing, and you just fall inlove with this guy.
So sweet and the anyoneapprised, but it was, it's
hysterical, like their actorswere so good, oh wow, it was so

(04:16):
good.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, I'd say if it's a really long case it must be
so hard, like for work andeverything.
It's so hard.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh, it's hard when you're paid like nothing.
It's the nothing to do it, sothat's mad it must be a hard
thing, or your civic duty.
I just had jury duty I spentseveral months ago but I was on
call so I had to with mypatients, like, basically, I had
a note on my schedule, everypatient I scheduled, to let them
know that I might have tocancel last minute and so
fortunately I didn't get calledin, but I still got my schedule,

(04:44):
in case I did get called in.
So it kind of stuck because itwas two weeks on call so I kept
my schedule pretty light towhere if we had every scheduled
patient, so it went bad.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
So it's kind of crazy , when you think about it,
though, that, like, regularpeople are on a jury, like, and
you're making a decision aboutsomebody's life, and you're like
.
I can't make a decision aboutwhat I want for breakfast.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Well, at least you're with a group, so it's not too
sudden.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
You like, say the times when it's just the judge.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
That's what I think.
Oh my gosh, I'm so hard becauseyou're changing.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
So I gosh, I'm too indecisive.
There's no way I could be ajudge That'd be so hard, I
couldn't be a judge.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
I wouldn't have the attention spot to be listening.
That's the other problem forjury duty.
For me they would have noattention spot.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, See, if I had a second career.
I would love to be an attorney.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
I think you would.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
Yeah, oh, gosh, I would love to be like a
prosecuting attorney.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I love to research and I love to argue.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
I just want to tell you I'm really good at that.
You get paid to argue.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, to get paid to argue and I'm a really good
arguer, so I get paid a lot toargue, that'd be so good.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
You would be good at it.
Good for you.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, that would have been if I did a second career.
That would have been what I'dlove to have done.
I love it but.
I'm fun.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, I always think I'd like to do that, but I think
I'd rather be in the crime endof it as opposed to being the
lawyer.
Again, I don't have theattention spot, so you want to
do the investigative?

Speaker 5 (05:57):
scene like go to the crime scene and do all the
ballistics and all that testing.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Or your job, but with criminals Like criminal
psychologists.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
No.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
No.
I should have any that'd beinteresting getting the minds of
like risk phone.
Well, I was just going tosqueeze Dr Pums.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Dr Pums is going off.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Emergency emergency yes it's probably spam.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Now, actually, I used to be a news reporter so I sat
in a courtroom with a serialkiller who was convicted and
that was very interesting.
But I can just tell you thatthey have this like see through
you kind of.
Oh yeah, like when youinterview someone like that,
it's like they are lookingstraight through you.
I don't know how to explain it.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I like it, but they for one.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah it's just it's very, it was very creepy.
So I was a news reporter at thetime, so I was not a
psychologist, so my role wasvery different, but it was still
very, very creepy.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
In college I took a class called serial killers,
which was actually a superinteresting class, but it was
like an evening class andwalking back to my dorm every
time I was horrified.
But one of the things I pickedup in the kids think I'm crazy.
But as far as locking my door,because one of the serial
killers he said that the way hepicked people was if their door
is unlocked, it was basicallywalking them in.
So I'm crazy about locking mydoors, even during the day or if

(07:13):
I'm going out because, thatserial killers class.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
It's funny how they have so much alike in common
profiles.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
You know this from like watching all that Mm-hmm.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
It's interesting.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
And you know they've done.
They've done like studies thatmost of the time in prisons when
they do a lineup of people mostlike murderers or serial
killers will pick the samevictim, like they'll line up a
bunch of women or a bunch of menor whatever, but the majority
of murderers and serial killersgo for the same type of person.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
That's kind of crazy.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
Mm-hmm, they can do this in weeks and they're very
intelligent yeah, they're veryintelligent, so they have a keen
sense of who to go after.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
But probably my most interesting story that you would
think is interesting is goingto the body farm.
Oh, wow.
So when I was a news reporterin Knoxville there actually is a
real body farm and Dr Bass runsit and he would do all these
different tests.
What is body farm so?
I guess basically it's whenpeople's bodies are donated to

(08:13):
science.
Mm-hmm.
So he would take, he was takingthe body at the time that I was
there and this was like yearsand years and years ago.
But he was doing like differentraces and genders and putting
them at different levels ofwater and seeing how the body
decomposes at different levelsof water Based on your gender,

(08:34):
age and race.
Wow, so he's written about inall the books, the Cornwell
books, yeah, yeah, so he isreally written about, but he
would literally.
So I met him, we talked to him.
It's so interesting because Iwould interview him all the time
and you would talk to him andhe would just talk about a dead
body, like it's, you know, justlike your job, your job, my job.
It was so interesting.
But he would go in the earlydays like they would call him

(08:57):
out to crime scenes and based onthe maggots, the maggots and
bugs or whatever was there, hewould tell them exactly how long
they had been To see he's doneall those different things.
But then he literally didresearch in the body farm which
is right near.
It was near UT hospital inTennessee, knoxville.
That's where my buddies go.

(09:18):
It was very interesting.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
But that was a creepy place, I'd say it is yeah, but
it's a like you have to, youhave to have places like that.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
And they need that, yeah, and figure things out.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Oh, I'd love that.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
See, I think that would have been the job.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I'd like to work with the body farm.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Yes, I'd like to put people on the same.
Please tell us again.
In the body farm, you wouldhave been a great corner.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, yeah, cut them up and see what happens.
Except, I can't do withtoenails, so oh, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Can't go help my husband at work, then no, no,
can't do no, no, no, I don'tmind feet, I'm just counting
toenails.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
I just you know those ads for the fungus medicine
post.
I can't do that.
You're like nope, yeah, so Ican do everything from the toes
up.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
I'm amazed when I see , like go to the office with him
, all the things that can gowrong with the feet.
Like you just have no idea, butjust watching there's just so
many things that can go wrongwith feet.
Feet are important.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
They are very important.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
Yeah, doctors like your husband, are very important
.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Because I could not look at people's feet all day,
neither.
Nope, I'm glad I'm at the head.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Those are the worst places to be.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yes, yes, they are definitely worst places to be.
Not just the feet I picked thehead.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
You picked the head.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
Not those lips.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Not those lips, not those lips.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
No, no, no, you're like no, no, no.
That's not funny.
You would work at that forseason two.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, I know exactly, it's so funny.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Like I didn't do, I was only having this
conversation of my parents arestill ever.
My dad's a biology teacher andscience teacher and when I was
going into high school we had achoice between home economics
and science and I said to my dad, what'll I do?
And he was like you're going tohate science.
I was like no, I think I likescience.
He was like no, no, you'regoing to hate science.
And he sat me down.
I think he must have talked tome about plants, which, to be

(10:57):
fair, I kill every plant.
So I was like okay, you know Ihate this.
I'd much rather be able to cook,but now that so I did home
economics, which was uselesswhen I was in school, but I do
love to cook, but I can't sell,and so now though, I'm like I
would have loved science.
I would have loved that part.
My dad's fascinated withbuddies, and so my mom liked to

(11:17):
be fair.
They're both kind of into thatkind of thing, but, yeah, I
think I would have loved us.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
I think it would be.
I don't know, it'd beinteresting.
Yeah, I'm fascinated with theway the body works.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
The research part would be interesting, yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
And the investigative like how did this person
actually die?
Was it, yes, bullet drowning,whatever?
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I always like to like try to understand how people
think.
I mean, I do it with everything, but I think that, just like,
how do their minds work and howdo they?
I don't know, it's crazy.
It's when people are weird.
Well, you got me into thatpodcast, this commanda, oh I
know, and that one I've just,I've really tried to like, think
I've been like, or listened toit.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
It's really interesting.
She's just like I think, like Ihave to believe that she
actually believed that too, thatshe didn't, even though I know
she was scamming everybody.
I wonder if part of her brainactually believed that she was
sick.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Or how do you?
How do you scam people and notfeel bad?
I don't guess people do a lotof things about it, but I just
don't understand how how herbrain would be, okay with
scamming people and no empathy,no empathy.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I really do think that's a huge amount of
psychopath Psychopath what's thedifference between sociopath
and psychopath.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Well, they're very similar Praying on people and
just.
But I do think you're right.
I think some people after awhile believe their own lies.
You would have to have thatmuch bias.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Well, I think you create a character, so you have
to, you have to live thatcharacter.
You're acting as somebody else,so you have to live as that
character the whole time.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
It's too much.
Keep it up on myself.
I can't keep up with.
Oh, I know.
Can you imagine how old you are?

Speaker 3 (12:56):
No, it's too much, I couldn't.
I'm also a terrible liar, soyou'd know straight away.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
I saw that I'm speaking.
I was thinking about youbecause the whole crime thing.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
But the member of Lacey Peterson the other husband
like they're going back intothe?

Speaker 4 (13:12):
yeah, they're taking his case.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Do you ever listen to the Innocence Project?

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Oh my gosh, it's interesting.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
It's an incredible podcast, so quite a lot of time.
It's about people who've been,you know, who are innocent and
who are in jail for crimes thatdidn't commit, and they've been
there for a really, really longtime.
So they've like the CentralPark rapists, they've, you know,
their most old great got off.
As far as I can remember, theyall got off, but they, this

(13:38):
Innocence Project, go in andthey fight for them and they try
to bring up new evidence.
So it's Scott Peterson inCalifornia who apparently
murdered his wife and is in jailfor murdering his wife.
He they are fighting his case.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Which is interesting.
I wonder what the new like thenew thing is that they found out
that makes him look innocent.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
So it was all to do with.
I mean, I only got glimpse ofit.
So it was to do with a van,some van and some break-in.
That happened in herneighborhood the day before or
two days before, and there'ssome new evidence that's come to
light about it.
But I remember at the time likehe was, I think, was that did
we talk about this not so longago?
No, so one of the first Celticwoman interviews we did on the

(14:19):
Today Show, his mistress wasbeing interviewed at the time I
do, I do, I mean, I'm not, I'm afriend.
Amber Frey, amber Frey, amberFrey, amber Frey, and she was
like she was so interesting tolisten to and she was part of
bringing him down, but it wasone of the first.
Was it one of the first casesthat they didn't have?
They had no idea how she died,so they'd no murder weapon.

(14:41):
They just found her torso andthe babies.

Speaker 5 (14:44):
And the water right.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
The babies body in the water, so they had no idea
how she was, so it's yeah.
I mean, there was a lot of kindof cliffhangers on us.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
But yeah, but he at the time I mean obviously media,
but he looks so guilty.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Like he looks so guilty.
Yeah, like 20 years ago.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
What 20 years.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
I think it's 20 years , close to 20 years.
Well, I think if your wife ismissing.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
probably not good to whether you did or not be with
the mistress during that time.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
No, but he had told his mistress that his wife was
dead.
So, like he had done, he wastalking about her in the past
tense, so there was a lot ofthings pointing to him at the
time.
But yeah, I mean, the justicesystem is scary, interesting.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Interesting as well.
I think, though, that, likeit's amazing how they kind of
had the foresight to collectevidence for DNA yeah, that when
we didn't have DNA.
But how horrible is the peoplewho have been in prison for
years and years and years, andthen DNA shows like they could
have done it, they just didn'tdo it, but they don't get out.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
That's the other thing.
Like, just because you're a fan, that you didn't do it doesn't
necessarily mean you get out ofprison here, which is that's
interesting.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Hello to my mind.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, there's like there's a whole bunch of like
hoops.
I know I just actually you'retalking about that.
This brings me home.
I'm I'm making documentariesbecause I like more of real life
stuff and we just watch one andI I don't know why Like I'm
very empathetic we talk aboutall the time, but like I was
feeling this so much.
But this woman, when she wasyoung she young like early late
teens, early twenties had livedwith her boyfriend who was

(16:09):
involved in a lot of bad stuffdrugs, guns, everything and he
was murdered.
Well, she was in trouble for itbecause she lived, so she was
an accessory, basically becauseif you have knowledge of the
crime in this particular state,then you're an accessory.
And so I wish I could rememberthe name of this podcast it was
great or not, podcastdocumentary.
So she was in trouble for it.
Well, then they let it go thatthey didn't prosecute her.

(16:31):
She moved back home, had awonderful family.
Her parents were just amazing,her siblings so loving her.
She got married, had I think itwas three little girls and it
had been six years since thathad happened had a knock on the
door, got arrested and she wasin prison for I think it was 15
years it was a 15 year minimumand she got out.
I believe it was half the timeon parole, but watching her

(16:52):
brother was so sweet.
He like fought for her to getout forever, but watching the
documentary watching her littlegirls growing up and like not
having a mom, because I meanobviously bad decisions, but
that seems so extreme,especially when people do a lot
worse and have less time in thisparticular state it just she
was an accessory.
And I just think back like whenI was young, 1920s, making dumb

(17:14):
decisions or maybe not havingthe best of boyfriend, and just
how that could have.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Oh, I know it's horrible, oh it's terrifying
when you think back Ofsituations you could have got
yourself into.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Oh yeah, because you don't even your brain still
developing.
Gosh, what is it Boys are like.
What is it Like?
They're like what's the age ofthe girl?
24 or something, yeah, soanyway, it was just.
It was such a sad documentary,but just watching her when she
got out to like seeing herlittle girls dance dress that
she had when she was like fiveand now she's a teenager and
just all that stuff she messed.
Yeah, it was sad, so yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
Was it overturned?
Is that why she got out, or sheserved the max amount?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
She got clemency.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
But it was basically I think.
I think it was seven or eightyears, I can't remember now, but
she was in there a long time.
Like the documentary startedwith her little kids, little and
then they were much older.
So it was just sad and seeinghow much the kids suffered too.
Yeah, and her dad I mean herdad was I cried and cried and
cried this documentary.
But her dad was so sweetbecause he would go out every

(18:11):
day and drive around and lookfor a medal by a trash can, by
trash cans, and collect it toget money so he could send her
$40 every week to call her kids.
I mean just watching him andjust how much he missed his
daughter when she came back.
It was, it was a tear shaker,oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, it's just crazy , crazy system Mad.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Don't commit a crime, I guess.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
No, exactly.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Nope, better behave ourselves, don't look like she's
doing a crime.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Did you see the Oscar nominations came out?
I didn't see who.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
I didn't see it.
I didn't see yet.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
So it's like the real life Barbie movie, because
Greta Gerwig did not getnominated, for she's the
director of Barbie.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
She didn't get nominated.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Okay, she's a female director didn't get nominated.
Margot Robbie, who was Barbie,did not get nominated, but Ken
did.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
But didn't they just win everything on the Golden
Globes, right, golden Globes,that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
I don't think she won Best Actress.
I don't think she didn't winBest Actress, it was Emma Stone.
But yeah, but like Barbie won.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Yeah, they were all a lot of things.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
And Barbie's of all these awards and people are
going.
This is like the real life.
Barbie Ken got nominated andhe's been amazing.
He came out.
This is like not right.
There wouldn't have been amovie without these women in it.
It's titled.
Barbie, I know it's crazy.
It's crazy.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
It's crazy, especially because, they just
racked up everything, I feellike a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yeah, and the Oscars are different to everything else
, because the Oscars are like,nominated by your fellow actors
and fellow directors, and it'sjust a bit of a slap.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
She was so good.
I think she was great.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
She was a great actress on the Barbie movie.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
I have all boys, so it's not.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
They haven't seen us.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
They love us.
It's actually good.
Yeah, it has a good message ontop of being.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
I just didn't get how the whole Oppenheimer and
Barbie was paired, because thoseare so very different movies.
Did you see them both?

Speaker 3 (20:05):
I saw both yeah, within a week of each other.
You did.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah, I did so much I didn't see the other one,
oppenheimer, oppenheimer isfabulous, fabulous, really,
really, really good movie aswell.
So they're both good, they'reboth excellent, just very
different.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
I'm sure, total opposite.
I mean, I wouldn't have, Ican't even tell you the last
movie you saw in the theater Inthe Napoleon.
Oh, it was terrible, it was, itwas absolutely horrific.
Yeah, dreadful.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
What about you?
I know I've met the moviesforever oh no, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
I went to Godzilla.
I didn't know it was in.
I didn't know it wasn't inEnglish.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
So it's all Japanese with subtitles, was it good?

Speaker 2 (20:45):
It actually was good.
I was like, are you kidding me?
Like we it's like nobody'sspeaking English.
But it was actually good, so itit got me to read.
I don't read a lot, so I wasreading the movie.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, what was the last one you saw?

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Probably Barbie.
Wow, yeah, I wanted to.
Well, I wanted to see MeanGirls, but everybody said that
it's a musical.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
I know it and dreadful, and no one it wasn't
musical until they went to seeit, and said that it was a huge
musical on Broadway and themusic is fabulous.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yes, but I haven't seen the show.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
I haven't seen the movie but neither I've seen the
show of my kids once they werelike it's terrible.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Do you like musicals?
I love musicals.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
I do yeah, I love a good musical I love them.
My mom loves musicals.
I'm just not a musical person.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Have you listened to Hamilton?

Speaker 4 (21:31):
Yeah, so good In the Heights.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
In the Heights is good too, but you can put on
like Hamilton in the car foryour drive and like it's telling
a story through rap.
It's so nice, like it's totallydifferent.
Even if you don't like musicals, you'd like this.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
And then, well, he's so amazing, he's so incredible.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
You would love it yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
If I'm going to listen to someone saying I want
to be either Taylor Swift orLisa Kelly.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
Did you hear they're going to get?

Speaker 2 (21:56):
engaged.
They've been saying that Iwould love it.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
I was going to say I thought about you.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I'm ridiculously embarrassingly into this
relationship.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
I know it's ridiculous.
She's gonna watch the SuperBowl just to see when they show.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
I mean, I watched football now.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Oh yeah, we watched on Sunday night the.
Kansas, swifty Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Did they show her yeah.
Yeah, of course I mean they'redefinitely back in now, which I
do get limiting it.
You know, I get that becausethere are people just watching
it.
But who cares that?
They flashed her.
I love it.
Yeah, positiveness See inrelationship.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
They're only showing her once or twice, right Like I
haven't.
Okay, I haven't seen that Hisbrother, still the Thunder.
Oh gosh, I did see that.
I saw that the next day.
I adore his brother.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
I think he's.
I love him because he's sohumble.
He's.
If you watch the documentarybecause now I've watched
everything related to Kelsey,because I'm obsessed with this
relationship but he's such ahumble guy, I mean he's just.
He's just normal.
They're very normal.
That's what I love about him.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
And the brother.
He retired correct.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Well, they're saying it's so funny.
I've never seen, I didn'trealize how much celebrity
gossip actually happens, becauseI think he's retiring but he
hasn't actually announced it yet.
But that came out and I thinkthat, just like with his wife
Kylie Kelsey, like they'll saythings about that she said that
Taylor Swift wasn't her cup oftea.
Well, I saw the interview andshe said that being in the
spotlight wasn't really her cupof tea.

(23:16):
She used to be in behind, youknow the camera because so stuff
like that, like I just can't.
It's crazy to see I've neverreally paid attention to how
much the media twists things.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
They do.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Oh, as someone who used to be in the media, which
is not great, but it's even likehaving done interviews and
you'll answer something and thenyou'll see what they put in and
you're like that's not a threat.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
That's nothing like what they said, or it was taken
out of context of the way yousaid it.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
It's so frustrating and the key is always the cut
away.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
So in other words, if I'm interviewing you and my
camera is on your face and thenwhatever you're saying, then we
cut away to the crime scene orthe fire or whatever.
Does that make sense?
And then it's like then, whoknows, if you said that right,
then yeah, you may have saidsomething different that they
just sliced together.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
I guess I'm the reason I'm thankful for not
being talented and famous here.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
But you have that power when you do like your
podcast.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
You can edit us to make us out of really great or
really horrible.
That's true.
That's what she said.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
This is what Lisa really said yes, ai it.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Yeah, yeah.
That's terrifying in itself,grace, but also terrifying.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
That's interesting.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah, it's a different world everybody's
grown up in.
It's crazy, everybody's usingit Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
It is helpful for a lot of things.
I mean, I think that there aresome benefits, but it's kind of
scary, even going to restaurantsand stuff now when everything
is all automated.
It's just, it's cool, but it'sscary because what's going to
happen with people, you know,and jobs.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
It's crazy, yeah.
So people complaining here inBeach Street City the other day
because sorry, all our publicsare, now have their self
check-outs.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
I heard that too.
People are very upset aboutthat.
People were upset walking intothe store.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
I'm not upset about that.
I don't have to talk.
It's like if I want to talkagain and then if I don't.
If I want to check out my stuffmyself, I can.
So why are they upset?
Because it loses the communitykind of vibe of you know.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
I think it's nice to have both, because some people
like my mom would not do all theself-checkouts.
She's 81 years old, so I thinkit's nice to have both.
Sometimes I don't feel likemessing with the you know if
it's vegetables or somethingthat's going to have to, you
know be kind of paining, exactly.
But sometimes I want to gothrough, so I think it's nice to
have both options.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Oh yeah.
Or if you're buying alcohol andyou have to wait for somebody
to come over.
So are they doing away with allof the cashiers, or just no, no
, no, they're doing half andhalf, oh half and half.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Yeah, that's not a big deal Because you could still
decide yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
I like Target where there's like it's mostly
self-check out now there's onlyone person.
So you're like am I going toline up with these 40 people?
Yes, with their coupons.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yes, All right, I have.
That's not us, or would yourather segment?
I've got a few questions foryou guys.
So this is funny.
So I just was flipping throughand I found this one and I can
already tell you Ash's answerthat are being here, so I will
be Ashley, would you rather bechronically underdressed or
overdressed?
So Ashley is definitelyoverdressed.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
Overdressed.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
I think I'm with Lisa .
I would be underdressed, Iwould be comfy.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
I want to be comfy too.
Did I tell you what happened?
I'm near as Eve to me.
No, I went to a wedding whichis beautiful wedding, for my
first American conformal wedding.
What?

Speaker 2 (26:19):
do you guys do in Ireland?
Just get it out.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
It's always sweat pants.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
So I mean, you would never ever ever wear jeans to
like a wedding Right.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
So like when I see some of those photos.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I'm like, oh my goodness, but you wouldn't wear
a long dress, so I hadn't.
I didn't plan and Scott waslike you could wear your Celtic
woman dress.
I'm like I'm not wearing myCeltic woman dress.
Don't be ridiculous.
And I have loads of lovelydresses.
I have beautiful long dresses,but they're mostly white.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
So I'm not going to wear white anyway.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Exactly, yeah, so I had this gorgeous dress from our
friend Emily, a beautiful likepink satin jacket dress, and I
was delighted with myself untilI turned up to the wedding and I
was the only one in a shortdress.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Really, yes, there are wearing long dresses.
They're all wearing longdresses.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
I nearly.
I wanted the ground to open up,and so that's not true.
The grandmother of the groomhad a short dress on, but I
guess you're probably quickerthan her.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
I was going to say, I nearly died.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
I nearly died, but at least it was formal though your
dress, like it was, I was feltbetter in pants, so really, I'm
going to go underdressed, yes,underdressed, oh yeah, yeah, I
hate wearing dresses.
I hate wearing dresses, alwayshave.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Always.
So that's kind of how I wouldguess to be divided yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
Really, you and Ashley overdressed.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
You and Ashley overdressed me and Trisha.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
Yes, I would definitely rather overdress.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
I've had to wear heels today and I want my scrubs
and tennis shoes back.
Really bad.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Yeah, no overdress.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
All right.
Well, this is how I think weall better answer this one way,
even if we have differentthoughts.
Would you rather have another10 years with your partner, or
one night stand with yourcelebrity crush, which we can't
answer that without saying 10years with a partner?

Speaker 3 (28:00):
I don't have a celebrity crush, but I would
obviously pick 10 years mypartner obviously.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Obviously, who would your celebrity crush?
You see, you've had nocelebrity crush oh.
Ryan Reynolds.
Me, matthew McConnay had RyanReynolds Really.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
Oh yeah, I don't know I would still pick that one.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
I probably go to Tentor Stabler from SVU yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
Honestly, I used to think Ryan Gosling, but then, oh
, yeah, I don't get it.
Yeah, I know, but then theBarbie thing just kind of came
out.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
But he was the notebook, though, right.
What's the new book?

Speaker 4 (28:31):
The new book, the new book and the notebook he was,
but then after that it was likeand apparently in real life he's
the nicest guy.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
I have heard that yeah he has a great reputation.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
He has a really good reputation.
I think Ryan Reynolds does too,though.
Yeah, I love him.
Have you watched the Road toWrexham.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
No, oh, it's the best show.
It's about the soccer team inWales that he bought with Rob
McElhaney from Always Sunny inPhiladelphia and it's like a
real life.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
No, no, he's very, very pretty.
He had the door open for me atWorld Gym here in Peach Street
City and I didn't know who hewas, I would start working out.
He opened the door and I walkedin and I went ''Thank you,
you're good'.
I thought he's Australian.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
And again I would have meant he's lifting weights
really well, that worked for him.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yeah, didn't even notice, Walked straight past,
walked into the world gym thatyou know the class that he has
in the world gym and the ladiesare like oh my God, thor just
opened the door for you.
I'm like who Thor?
I didn't know who he was.
I've never watched.
Oh gosh the.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Avengers.

When you didn't answer thequestion.
Oh, I have just the 10 years.
I have obviously 10 years, Imean, yeah, the war, yeah, 10
years.
They're not that big.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
It's not that hot, little hot.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Not that hot, so here's another.
This is actually.
This is a tough one.
Would you rather lose yoursight or your memories?
Sight, sight, me too.
I thought that would be tough.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
No, me too, that's my sight.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
I'm a sight, I'm a sight.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Oh gosh, but I have clients when, like I, don't know
when people forget who you are.

Speaker 5 (30:28):
That's so hard when people have to mention things
like that and they forget yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
That's.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
This is funny.
So I know Lisa's answer.
Uh-oh, here we go.
Would you rather give up Gosh?
I know my answer too.
We're opposite, I think.
Would you rather give up airconditioning and heating for the
rest of your life, or give upthe internet for the rest of
your life?

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Oh, it depends where I live Air conditioning If I'm
in a hard-lip.

I live in Georgia, I'd give up your internet.

Speaker 5 (30:55):

Lisa's cringing.
She's like no, no, no, no, I'msure singing that just with the
actual show.

No, so years ago when we movedhere to Peachly City first.
We have a lovely little arealike to the west here west, yes

It's lovely, really, really,really nice.
So they used to have, they usedto have a theater group there

It just ran into a little bitof trouble, but they had this.
They did, miss Saigon.

That's right, it was outdoors.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
I remember that it was outdoors.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
So they did Miss Saigon and like a helicopter
came in.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
So friends of ours asked did we want to go and see
Oklahoma there?
And I was like I don't know.
I thought so but anyway wentand it was phenomenal.
It was the first time Iliterally sat there going.
I didn't realize this is whatthis show was about.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Having spent three weeks doing it every night, I
saw they did Sleepy Hollow yearsago.

They did that every.

Speaker 3 (35:49):

So the boat was in the middleof the lake in Titanic, but it
got flooded so we had to watchit in a shed.
Oh no.
With no boat, no boat, that'snot good yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
But yes, there you go .
Latchkey kids, that was what itwas.
Remember a latchkey kid?
Are you a latchkey kid?
Like you have the key, like yougo home and no one's home and

Oh, I don't know about that?

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Oh my gosh Latchkey.
We need a segment every week ifyou teach us a word.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
An Irish word, an Irish word A bad one, or either

Speaker 3 (36:54):
A dothory, elf fecker .
That's like a dothory the wayyou just said that.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
It was an old elf effort is what I just heard,
fecker fecker, which is not abad word.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Fecker is not a bad word.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
It sounds like a bad word, yeah, no, it sounds like a
bad word, so we replaced the Uwith an E not to make it a bad
word.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
So you can go feck off.
That's not a bad word.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
It's actually Sam Frick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,yes, he's a feck.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
Dothory elf.
Elf fecker would be an old manwho's like stupid.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
It's stupid and then we called him Dothory elf fecker
.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Dothory elf fecker.
We need to use that one yeahand your L one.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
We say that as well.
Well, I wouldn't say it, butthere are people that would go.
How's your L one Meaning?
How's your mom L one?
L one, a A U L and then A U L.
No, just one A U L.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Like old, oh old L L, old old L one.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Interesting yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah, I don't want to be Dothory.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
We can not be Dothory .

Speaker 2 (37:57):
No, dothory, dothory, Dothory, dothory, dothory.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Dothory Doth.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
I'm still trying to say Monastery, monastery.
I just said that, right, yeah,so Dothory.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Dothory.
Oh, very good, you sound likeyou're from the depths of County
Cork.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yes, I definitely sound Irish.
We need to go to Ireland.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Oh, I know I'm not the best tour guide but because
I'm just like a Mercedes girl soI didn't really leave Dublin
much growing up.
But you'd love it, you wouldlove it, I would love it.
I would love it Great fun.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
If I don't drink Guinness, I feel like I wouldn't
fit in.
I don't drink Guinness, I knowyou either.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
You drink Guinness by the time you leave.
Really, yes, with a little bitof blackcurrant in it, it's the
best.
I promise, I promise because Idon't really drink Guinness
either.
I have to hand back.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
I feel like Irish passport.
I don't eat potatoes.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
There's a back way.
I don't drink Guinness.
Are you sure you're Irish?

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Yeah, Most definitely .

Speaker 4 (38:48):
So the city of Dublin would be most similar to what
In the US.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Probably well, big city.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
So it's a city like New York, atlanta, but it's tiny
.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
It's the size of Peachtree City, so it's like
it's tiny, but so it's, and it'snot like, if you've been to
London, it's smaller than London, but that's the capital city of
Ireland, so it's whereeverything happens.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
But is it like skyscrapers?
No, you don't have skyscrapers.
Yeah, no, interesting.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
I think I can't even.
I don't even know what ourtallest building is, but it's
not skyscrapery at all.
That's just European, europeancities, don't have skyscrapers,
so, like when Irish people comeover, we spend the whole time
just looking up.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
You're like, wow, that's nice, that's so cool.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Yeah, sorry, we don't have anything like that.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
But you never went outside the city, really.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
No, not growing up.
No, all my family's from.
Dublin.
I had no relatives outside ofDublin and we didn't travel much
.
My dad was a teacher and mymom's stayed home, so we didn't
do much at all.
So suddenly, since I met Scott,he made me travel around
Ireland to see places.
I was like, oh, this is amazing, interesting.
It's so cool, though.
The West Coast of Ireland isbeautiful.

Speaker 4 (39:59):
So how did you get into Riverdance?

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Oh, because I was doing a show.
I was doing Oklahoma and I justfinished Oklahoma, Steve you
had a dinner at Oklahoma whichyou didn't like.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
You would have had dinner.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
If you were not playing Laurie, you would have
never won, so I went from doingOklahoma to this thing called
pantomime, which is like I thinkI told you before it's like a
nursery show, you know, but it'swith adult humor in it and pop
songs and stuff.

Speaker 5 (40:24):
So I did that.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
And while I was doing that, I was asked to audition
for Riverdance.
I didn't even know there wassingers in Riverdance and I went
to my audition very, veryhungover, because it was the
opening night of Panto and myaudition was the next day.
So after the opening night ofPanto we all went for drinks.
I didn't drink at this stage,but I had loads of drinks that
night because it was so much funand I went into the audition

(40:46):
the next day, so hungover.
And I really think that's thereason why I got it, because I
hadn't slept a lot.

Speaker 5 (40:52):
You were stressed, my voice wasn't tired Would you
not?

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Yeah, I was not stressed in the first no worries
, I was like whatever, and Iprobably did the best audition I
ever did.
Wow, and that's yeah.
So when did you crush on Scott?
Scott was the first person Imet when I joined Riverdance.

Speaker 5 (41:09):
Really.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
The very first person I met him in the bar.
I came down my room had floodedwhen I went into my room.
I arrived in Raleigh Durham.
I'd never been to America,never done anything, had done
two flights to get here On myown, cry the whole way Because
I'd left a boyfriend at home atthe time.
I cried the whole way andwalked into the bar because my
room was flooded.
When I got into us and therewere a change in my room, they

(41:32):
told me to wait and Scott wasthe first person I met.

Speaker 5 (41:35):
And we were just best friends from the Minnes.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
We met each other.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
So when did you dump the boyfriend back home?

Speaker 3 (41:41):
Well, the boyfriend back home kind of dumped me, no
way, liar, liar, liar.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
He did, he did.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
We had agreed I was going over, that we were going
to go our separate ways, andwhich was fine.
We hadn't been together verylong at all, very, very short
time.
So we were, and he was olderthan I was and he came over.
He actually came over to visitme while I was in Riverdance,
when myself and Scott weren't anitem at that stage, but yeah,

(42:09):
so that was kind of weird.
And then he kind of dumped meagain when he came over and then
something kind of got together.
But we were very close.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Isn't it crazy that we've said this before.
Obviously it's really big intothat, but like had that not have
happened you would have missedthat and then you would have got
your kids Like it's just crazyhow everything it is crazy how
everything happens.
Like you know, it's just.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
I mean, when you get older you appreciate that more.
I'm always amazed.
I'm like how do two people whoare raised so differently like
myself and Scott are differentsides of the world as well, so
like nothing was similar in ourgrowing up how do you meet
somebody and like fall in lovewith them and then you're
expected to like kind of coexistand like everything is so
different and all the variablesthat happen.

(42:56):
It's kind of mad.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
So how long have you all been?

Speaker 3 (42:59):
together 24 years.
Wow, yeah, 24 years this year.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Wow, yep, since she was like six years old.
Well, he was much younger thanme.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
But you knew, you knew when you met him kind of
like no, no, I didn't know, no,no no, no, not at all.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
I just we, just like there was.
There was obviously we, therewas a connection between us.
But, like I was not looking fora relationship, he was not
looking for a relationship.
He had just come out of arelationship too.
So it was yeah, no, we weren't.
And we were just like literallyjust friends, but best of
friends.
We knew everything about eachother.

(43:36):
And then when you're livingtogether on the road, as well
spent 24 hours day with eachother.
So you get to know each othervery quickly and I also
sometimes go.
That was really bad because heknew all the bad things about me
.
Because he was my friend, Ididn't care.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
But you guys are still like, you guys are like
best buddies now, like it's socool.
Yeah, absolutely yeah, yeah, belost with them.

Speaker 5 (43:56):
Yeah, Aw, so you really would pick ten years
versus versus Thor.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
She's like oh really.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
Yeah, I don't even know he's Australian too, that's
true, that's true, yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
So our fab finds.
I didn't bring anything, but Iactually had a thought on that.
Do you guys have any fab findsfor this week?
Anything you've gotten that youjust love?
I got all my.

Speaker 5 (44:16):
I didn't bring this.
Did you get it?
Did you try it?
I love it.
Do you love it?
I do I do?
What other one?

Speaker 2 (44:22):
did you guess.
So they actually.
So I got the primer.

Speaker 5 (44:25):
Yeah, that's awesome.
I like that.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
I don't know that like I love the eye thing more.
I would decide if I love theprimer.
But they sent two free giftsthat are like full-size.
I was like, oh it says everyoneloves free gifts.
And it was their mascara, whichI really like this lovely yeah.
And then it was a liquideyeliner which I like Very nice.
Yeah, I liked it.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
I like them.
I'm trying to think what Ibought.
I don't think I bought.
I may not have bought anythingthis week.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
I bought something that I don't know like.
I think it's worth it.
I think so, but it's more likeit's not like the Dyson hair
dryer but it's expensive hairdryer.
It was Ella Bella but it yeah.
I, it's a little Instagramsales thing, but I actually I
think I like it.

Speaker 5 (45:00):
I've used the.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Dyson one Look, I haven't used it.
I think I don't think I canmake myself spend that much on a
hair dryer.

Speaker 5 (45:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
I think I can make my hair enough for the week to do
that.
But this one it has likemagnetic ends on it.

Speaker 5 (45:10):
So, like you, can change like differently, if you
want to diffuse or anything youjust clip them on off, really
quick it's pretty cool, I likeit.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
But I also thought of a fab mine when we were talking
, when she said our friend EmilyI don't know if you're on this,
it's funny because Lisa alwaysnab stuff that I'm like, I like
that.
And then I'm like Lisa's like.
I'll take it.
I'm like oh, I like it.
I hope we didn't wear differentsizes Okay.
But so are we we.
This underground runway is socool, but it's a Facebook and
she has different items thatpeople wear, like one time.

Speaker 4 (45:38):
Yeah, and so there are like the runway that you buy
it.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Yes, you buy it but it's really discounted.
So you she's actually talked to.
We've talked about coming onsometimes.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
She's so cool yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
It's really so.
She has different things that,like I said, it's like a
designer that would normally be$800.
It's $80 or whatever.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
So, yeah, we need to buy you stuff from her, though I
think I've led a fander throughyou, I think it was.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
I mean, you have a lot of friends that use her, so
she's fab.
Yeah, it's great, it's great.

Speaker 3 (46:10):

Speaker 2 (46:40):
But yeah, she's just, I've talked to her about coming
on.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
She said just like to come on.
I thought it'd be so cool.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Well, she was responsible for my pink dress
that I wore.
Really it's the wedding.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
Oh really, who did your pink dress for the?

Speaker 3 (46:50):

My black dress I actuallybought here in Georgia in a
place called Cinderella's Gainsin Lilburn.

Speaker 5 (47:15):
Yeah, so did you get the.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
did you get the dress from Emily, the pink or the
short 20th?
I didn't.
Are you telling me, like, didshe dress you in it or did you
buy it?
No, no, no, I'm honest.
I never worn it because I waslike where am I going to wear
this dress?
Oh my gosh, how do you know ifyou're going to fit into it?

Speaker 3 (47:28):
I don't what about other stuff.
It's just really really good,like if you know your size and
like.
So there's been times that I'vepicked up stuff and I I got I
like this.
When she's like that's notgoing to fit you Because she
knows what I bought stuff fromher that actually fit me she
goes that's that's not going towork for you, but am she's
really good at saying it's?

Speaker 5 (47:45):
a small, but it fits more like a medium larger大的 four
, but it's more like yeah, yeah,so she's really good at saying
that.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
I think she does learn her customers and then she
has a place to eat like a shopyou can go try.
I never do, I just order.
And Is she here?

Speaker 5 (47:58):
Return your stuff if they don't fit, that's great.
No, it's brilliant.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
She has a great little smiley.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
Yeah, it's like a more personable plush mark kind
of thing where you're gettingdesigner things, but it just
counts.
But she just knows her.
She's really good atdescriptions and I think the
people that work with her and doyou see different?
She'll try on stuff or havepeople try on stuff and show
pictures.
It's cool.
I'll invite you to the show.

Speaker 4 (48:19):

Speaker 2 (48:27):
Yeah, it's cool, but yeah, this is my Fabfines,
fabfines.
Yeah, I have no fabfines.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
Let's make it.
I don't like to go to youeither.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
I don't think I bought anything different.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
I shouldn't have fabfines because I bought all my
little Mac-y-ash from your lastfabfine.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Well, I forgot what this stuff Ashley talked about.
I was thinking about that today, my friend.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Wonder something.
I looked it up and then I waslike I'm never gonna do it.

Speaker 5 (48:51):
Why.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
Because I never put like color stuff.
I hate getting marks on myclothes.

Speaker 5 (48:58):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
Scott and I went to a fancy dinner a while back in
Atlanta and I wore my littlepleather shorts and I wanted to
have my legs shimmery and so Iput the tan or shimmery stuff on
, kind of similar to that.
So I asked for my bleeds.
But my legs looked really goodand then we did an Uber and we
went ahead and did the nice Uberand when I got out of the car I
saw my leg prints in CarlyBrandio.

(49:21):
I was like, oh yes, oh no, I'mnot sure it washes off, but I
was like, oh my gosh, you cansee my whole entire print on his
leather seats.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
That's so, and again, because I hate changing my
sheets, I don't want them on mysheets.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
We just need to do a switch off.

Speaker 5 (49:36):
I'll come wash your sheets.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
She's just coming to cut for me and we're good I got
you and I'm just gonna hang inthere, do anything.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Yeah, show her up in the wind.
She's gonna design the placeand make pretty yeah, exactly,
that's true as well.
That would actually be if Iwasn't a nurse practitioner if I
wasn't an attorney.
I would like to be a designer.
I love designing things andmatching things yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:57):
I think I'd be a flight attendant, Would you?
I mean?

Speaker 5 (50:01):
just I don't know if I.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
I deal with people, so I could deal with people.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
I just want to travel , Just travel and just you can
be a pilot and then you don'thave to deal with it.
Because, honestly, I think if Iwas a flight attendant.
I would look at people and go.
Are you actually stupid?

Speaker 2 (50:14):
No, don't you do that also, especially like, yeah,
like when you see the videos ofpeople like filming how rude
people are to the flightattendants.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
I literally judge people by how nice they are to
flight attendants.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
I know and the flight attendants I work with, they
say it's just, it could bemiserable.
I can't imagine.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Well, I think too a lot of times like the flight
attendants have no control overthe weather or flight delays or
anything like that, and soyou're mad because you're gonna
miss a connecting flight, and soI bet they get a lot of just
indirect you know, justfrustrations.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
I know, I can't imagine.
I think I told you last yearwhen I was going to Miami to
visit my son and the girl nextto me was on the phone with this
guy and they were just like andthe flight attendant was like
you've got to get on the phone,hang up the phone or we're gonna
go back to the gate.
And she wouldn't do it.
So we literally went back tothe gate and then she wouldn't
get off.
So we had to all get off, thepolice come and get her off, and

(51:09):
then we have to wait and it'sliterally before we left.
It was like 10, 30 at night.
We were leaving at like 8,8.45,.
It's 10, 30 at night.
That's so rude.
And I'm texting my husband likeI'm good to be so late and you
have no idea why.
Just because this girl wouldnot get off the phone.
I don't know why people don'tyeah, why don't people take that
seriously?

Speaker 2 (51:28):
I don't know it was weird Because I don't know what
happens if you don't have anairplane mode Like I'm terrified
.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
I'll look at.
I'll see people that are stillon their phone on the plane.
But I didn't have an airplanemode.
But I mean, if they come bytwice and tell you and she's
sitting right next to me and Iwant to look at her and be like,
get off the phone.
Like did they ever tell youtwice, get off.
They were like having to Welland then the sad thing was her
family was with her and therewas, like it looked like an aunt
or sister and then a two orthree younger children.
They all had to get off.

(51:54):
Everyone missed their flightand I'm like you just ruined it,
not just for yourself, but allthese poor people and the kids
were crying.
I mean it was awful.
It was awful.
That's crazy.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't get the whole rudeairplane flying people, I'm just
like.
I'm the rules, just follow therules.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
So we were talking before we started recording
about future guests and we havea lot of people in our inbox
right now as we're working onour calendar.
But what is something you guyswould like to see like out of
our guest?
Like what?
Like we already know, actuallyshe's very excited about mediums
and, oh, yes, Now I want to flyto attendant.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
I could get you 50.

Speaker 4 (52:33):
Yes, we know there's a lot of the craziest flight
