It’s a Just Us episode, which means Nora and Hanna are off the rails and in your ears. This week we eat candy in a so-called “ASMR” way, debate make up as an art form, revisit Hanna’s delightfully cooky church upbringing, map out the long list of hot Halloween parties we've have been invited to, and spiral over the emotional damage of spotting a bridesmaid in an Apple Watch. Plus, plenty more nonsense and New York neuroses you didn’t ask for but will absolutely enjoy.

(00:15):
Boom. Here we are.
Here we are. Let's get a crack.
That's not an amazing, that's a good one.
This episode open up a can of something.
Open up a can. Of and have it enjoy it with
your with your listening. I have mango, you'll hear.
(00:38):
I have lime bubbly. Do you have a preferred?
Do you have a preferred seltzer?Brand.
Yeah, I'm dying. I asked you this the last
episode. Did you?
Because I said I have never. I never see people get vintage
and you said that that was, but that's I didn't answer actually.
So I I would say bubbly is idealto have then Lacroix, but also
(01:05):
what is that company that's like?
I can't even think of it. It's not.
It's like, hold on, I ordered anAmazon.
Like it's kind of like no one thinks of this brand, but that's
why it's always the cheapest. It's like country home seltzer
or something. Yeah.
(01:26):
Yeah, yeah, I know about you don't know all about country.
Home Is it country home? Let me look at my my recently
ordered. Welcome to New Yorker of the
Week, where we find we go down and dirty with what the real
seltzer names are. Oh.
No, no, no. Here we go.
That was so loud. Waterloo Waterloo Waterloo is
(01:48):
always going to be the cheapest 1 online.
I was told that Waterloo is the the top tier brand by someone.
They were like it's the fanciestbut I don't know everyone who
has an opinion on seltzer. It's like I can't.
Yeah, it's a little. It's a little much for me.
I'll drink. It's like it is what it is.
If it's sparkling water, I'm I want it.
(02:10):
I do have to say. San Pellegrino.
Oh my God, 'cause they're in thewater too.
Tastes weird. To Sam Pellegrino, their cans,
they're trying to be like too much, they're trying to be too
special. And their bottles is salt flat.
It's full of salt, flat flat. Salt.
You can't call water that with salt full of salt.
(02:31):
And I don't really like Liquid Death because they claim to have
these fun flavors. If your seltzer isn't 0 of
everything, how dare you. Like the the treat of seltzer is
that it's delicious and there's nothing in it.
Somehow it zeros across the board.
But like Wolf bought a pack of liquid deaths and like, I don't
(02:53):
remember what flavor it was, butlike it had sugar in it and I
was like I had drank like 2 and that's it's fine.
But it's like, well, I wouldn't have like housed these two
seltzers if I had known housing them.
I would do I kind of house them.Not as much as Wolf does.
Wolf. Like, I wish he grew up poor.
Like, he has such a bad mentality.
(03:13):
Like when the house is full of Diet Cokes and seltzers and
groceries, He's like a crazy person in the kitchen.
Like, he's like drinking a Diet Coke and a seltzer and like,
snacking while cooking dinner. And it's like, I want everything
to last as long as possible. And that is the difference
between someone who grew up withmoney and someone who grew up
(03:35):
without. That's the biggest difference.
So it's really good that we got together, yeah.
You can teach him a lesson. Because don't you feel that way?
Like when the fridge is full? Like how long can we keep it
looking like this? Yeah, I mean, I do sometimes.
I'm like snacking during dinner kind of vibe.
You know how I get like. If there's olives, I'm like.
OK, but if you had bought, like,a cheese platter, salami and
(03:59):
crackers. Yeah.
And you are making, like, a pasta and salmon dinner, would
you also lay out for yourself some cheese, salami and
crackers? No.
Exactly. That's like a separate occasion.
Yeah. But for Wolf, it's like how fun
everything's here. And it's like.
Everyone's here. It's kind of such an ordeal also
for us, refilling groceries, especially in New York.
(04:20):
It's like we just did. We did it.
We went and we bought it and we took it on the subway and we got
it home and like, we're done now.
And it's like, why would you want the process of doing that
again to be any sooner than whenit has to?
Be right, right. That's my mentality on it.
How much do you spend on groceries when you go to the
store? We go to, we go to Trader Joe's
(04:41):
and Mr. Lime and I would say between and this is in hopes of
lasting 3 weeks. I would say we go to the grocery
store every three weeks in total, probably between the two,
like 250. And then and then we split it.
Unless he's played my game wherewe reveal how much is in our
bank account. And once he said that, he feels
(05:02):
so bad at the difference that I'm like, you're not, you're not
going to request me right now, right?
Because then it's like, it'd be insane, you know?
But most times we split it. I guess I like that we split it,
but sometimes I'm like, it's so hard.
I love being like, I can carry my own weight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then I'm like, well, why
would I have to, though? Yeah, you're here.
(05:23):
Yeah. You know what I mean?
Yeah. That's how I feel about him.
I can't imagine having that situation.
Well I guess in college I did cuz we had I had like 6
roommates and we all but we all went grocery shopping on our own
and we all labeled our food and everyone was on their own
journey. I honestly, you noticed that for
a while. I wanted to do that with Wolf.
I wanted us to be completely separate.
(05:43):
Separate but equal so. That's what I'm fighting for at
my house, Fighting. For at her house.
That's what I'm looking to have with Wolfgang.
Should we do the intro now? Oh yes, I'm manager lender.
And I'm Nora Freed. And you're listening to new.
Yorker of the Week. And it's it's just us.
I'm 2. Days out from my period so I
(06:05):
feel like I'm asleep right now. My energy is on the ground.
But you brought something fun. I brought.
But look how exciting. I brought a Mexican candy called
I don't know. And it's it's, it's good it.
Was yeah. Is that OK?
Yeah, let's just call it what itis, you know?
(06:28):
And so I was just at a great wedding this past weekend in New
Hampshire and they had Mexican candies on as like part of the,
like almost instead of a bread bowl, they had all the little
candies. And this one was my favorite one
out of the. Whole OK, so this one you
(06:49):
already know you like. Yeah, so I was like, I'm going
to bring two of these back. Let me try and I'll Swatch
Hannah. Eat it.
I'm pretty, I've learned I'm pretty weird about candy.
Meaning like I like the candies that no one else likes.
Like, you know I love. Black licorice.
You might like this. It has a little bit of a spice
to it, but not spicy. I don't know.
(07:12):
Here we go. It's a small brown square.
Oh, it smells like it has a little spice and.
This was everyone's favorite at the table too and everyone was
like wow this is really good. Yeah, it's like fruity and
spicy. 700 flavors, Yeah. What do you think?
(07:33):
It's like somewhere between. You.
Love it. It's kind of like a fruit strip
with that, like Tahin little little kick to it.
There's. A little tahin.
Kick. I do like it a lot.
Yeah. Thank you for bringing that.
No, no, I don't hate it. I don't hate it.
(07:55):
I'm gonna. I'm getting nervous with my
teeth. I hate that.
I'll reveal to the group. I have learned that I have a
cavity on all four of my wisdom teeth and I fully have a cracked
tooth. So sometimes when I eat candies.
It should pop up windows. If I can, it doesn't hurt right
now, but if I can feel a little like, then I know that if I take
(08:17):
another bite before that goes away, I'm going to be in a lot
of pain. And really conveniently, they
were like, we'll send you a person for the wisdom teeth
that'll be covered by your insurance.
They haven't sent me anyone. And then they said, and you need
urgently to get your cracked tooth fill in, but your
insurance won't cover it. So it's kind of like, what do I
(08:39):
do? Name one thing insurance covers?
I can't apparently. All four of my wisdoms youth, I
don't want to do that. Oh my.
God, I was really yummy. You know who would hate this
maxim? I know we're really chewing.
I don't mind that sound, I. Love it, I love it.
(09:00):
You know why you love it? Because you like listening to
Margot eat and this is kind of like a little version of.
That my little girl. So you've been out of New York
for a minute. I've been running around town, I
know. I got a little pile.
Here I've been running around. Yeah, she's Rick.
I really like those isn't. It good.
It's like you want more, but youwant less and you're not sure.
(09:22):
Yeah, but you definitely like you're going to finish it.
So do you have a New York momentor do you have an out of state
moment? I think my New York moment was
that I brought 2 suitcases to A2night wedding in New Hampshire
and lugging that with a purse with a pillow to New Hampshire
(09:47):
was really. Funny you had to bring your own
pillow. Yeah, it was.
Real camp. It was camp.
That's camp. It was camp.
But yeah, it was definitely as Iwas lugging the all my luggage,
I was like, wow, Nora, really? And then I got to the camp and I
unloaded all my stuff and there were just like pill bottles and
(10:07):
makeup all over my twin bed and I was rushing to get.
Ready. I'm home.
And like I'm sharing this cabin with a ton of people and I'm
just like I, I was rushing to get to the first party, which
was the night that I arrived andI only had like 2 minutes to get
ready. And I had brought this whole
outfit and stuff. So I really wanted to like work
it. So I put, so I put everything on
(10:31):
the bed and then I went to the party and I was like, hey, like
when you go in, you're gonna seea lot of stuff on that twin bed
to your right and just like. Don't worry about.
It and we decided that that bed was Atlantic Barclays because it
had everything you needed. From Atlantic Barclays, I
brought it to New Hampshire. It was there it was, that was.
(10:53):
Twin bed, There were. Multiple makeup palettes.
There were cigarettes. There was Old Navy.
Stuff Old Navy stuff that's that's big stuff from.
Target like you, I really had done the rounds and so people
would then throughout the weekend come sit, come sit on
the bed and be like I'm going togo to Barclays for a second and
(11:15):
cross something it. Was really funny.
That's really funny. And can I get bang like
Barclays? We kept being like, I'm at
Sephora right now. It's like.
There was so much makeup. Nora told me that everyone was
using her makeup, and I learned this because right now she seems
to be cooking it up in a pan on her stove.
She has all her makeup brush sitting in the pants.
Yeah, they're drying out becauseI did a big deep cleanse of
(11:38):
them. Yeah, because I was like this
is. You can't get a stye.
Yeah, I just. It's like a.
Lot of I just doing a lot of people's makeup.
The thing is, is that I was fat for so long in my life that all
I, the only thing that I felt like I had had control over was
my makeup. And so I put a lot of effort
into learning makeup, understanding it, buying makeup
(12:01):
because I was like, this is my thing.
And then, you know, next thing you know, I'm a medium large
and, you know, not a triple XL Infinity.
And I can fit into clothes, which is fine if you're that.
Too if you're a triple XL. Infinity, but like it's harder
to get clothes because our society's fucked up.
But it's like now I can buy the clothes that I want.
So now it's like, I have the clothes and the makeup, which is
(12:23):
great, but people see me and they're like, how did you do
that with your makeup? And I'm like, this is trauma.
Yeah, this is, this is like me sitting there being like how?
It made something beautiful though.
People, you're very good with makeup.
People really like they and but the problem with that is that
when you're getting ready, people are like, nor can you do
(12:44):
my makeup. And The thing is this, I can't,
I really can't do your makeup. Like I just I try, I can guide
you in the direction that you should go in based on what I see
on your face. But in terms of actually taking
the brush, that needs to be yourjourney because it's just so
complicated to do makeup on someone else's face.
(13:07):
Like I have no idea how makeup artists do mascara on another
person. I'm.
Like what the hell is that? And I wish they wouldn't.
Just. Pass that off to me.
Pass it to me. But they do a great job makeup
artists need. I hope they're making enough
money in this economy. Honestly, especially because
like I'm someone who, like you just said, you can't do other
(13:28):
people's makeup like 5 seconds ago.
And I'm so sorry, I'm so out of.It right now we can't record.
You know what you can't? We can't record on myself.
Look at me, I'm like. It's OK.
I I woke up pretty tired today and I almost called out of work,
(13:50):
which I never do. Like that's the level I was
feeling. And when I was leaving to come
here, I kind of was like, this is like, this is, you know, when
like, you know, you're going to shut down after something.
This is kind of like, let's see what comes out.
But after this, we're closing upshop.
The shop is. Closed.
The shop is closed. Hey, do you see that Raisin
brand over there? Raisin the bar is what it says
(14:13):
on the back. Take a look at the the front.
Is this an off brand Raisin brand?
Is that? That yeah, this is, this is by
Post. OK, Raisin brand I think is by
how long? Yeah, this is, I mean, it's not,
but you do have Sun made raisinsin it.
That's weird. I bought this Raisin Bran and I,
(14:35):
I don't think that's I was like.This is not Raisin Bran.
If you don't see that sunshine on it, it's not.
That Raisin. There is some sunshine at the
top. No, but you know the one with
the face. You know the logo for Raisin
Bran? I know and the flakes aren't
covered in sugar and I'm just like, what is?
Oh my God, it's like healthy Raisin Bran.
It's like the. Real.
It's like Raisin Bran, you know?It's not like it's not Raisin
(14:58):
Bran, you know, It's Raisin Bran.
Raisins are crazy because like in some foods, raisins are
essential. But like these little boxes,
like I used to be sent to schoolwith a little box of raisins.
Like, don't give me that. Yeah, don't give me that.
Not like I would have all. Of them in a handful at once.
Whole grain wheat and bran cereal.
(15:19):
Oh my Yog. Throw it out, flush it.
Flush it. Flush it.
Down. What were you talking about?
I literally was just looking at the Raisin Bran.
What was your most New York moment of the week?
Let a girl think you know, I've been trying to keep a list, but
the other day I saw that I was just adding to the list
(15:39):
something I wanted to tell you. Not really.
New York moment, Here we go. What I have in my list is old
woman shopping eyeglass story. So now I'll have to figure out
what I meant by that. And I love the song.
You'll know we are Christians byour love.
(16:03):
That's what I wrote and I do. Did you hear that?
Charlie Kirk's funeral. I was thinking about how.
Some sorry I know we can't talk about Charlie Kirk girls we we
have on every. One, we're kind of like, we're
still tired of taking off. So maybe a cancellation would be
some like PR we need. No, I was thinking about how
(16:25):
some church songs were just likegood growing up, and that one
was pretty good. We will walk with each other.
We will walk hand in hand. And this is when I thought I
wanted to be a pastor too. So it was kind of like, this is
the Best Song I've ever sung. I believe in God.
I'm going to be a pastor. Didn't know women could be.
(16:48):
Pastors, I we really, You didn'tknow that I, my pastor growing
up was a gay woman. Whoa.
I was at a pretty my church was it's not kooky to have a gay
woman password past pastor password.
But like my church was a little kooky.
(17:09):
It was like, I don't know, therewas a time at my church where
like me and the other teenage girls like performed Born This
Way as the service that day. Like I love that my church was
very much like whatever moves you is your religion.
So there was like times where you could just bring to the to
church like this moves me. So I want to do it.
(17:32):
And the pastor was like, yes, let's.
Do it. So that was a time when I was
confusing liking performing for liking God.
Right, right. I'm still, I don't know, like,
is there one? I don't know.
It's like God, I'm yeah. And I'm kind of like, not to be
so dismissive of God if there isone, but like, there's so much
(17:56):
going on down here, I can't evenstart.
People are like, what do you think about aliens?
It's like, let's get right here.We have so much going on right
here. I don't know if there's a God,
if there's an alien. I don't know if there's life on
Mars. We really need to focus our
energy, right? We have enough things to think
(18:17):
about right in front of us. You know what I mean?
Are ghosts real? I don't know.
I don't know. Is my dad a real ghost?
Yes, yeah, don't tell me otherwise I will freak.
I I can't say. One more thing about my dead
dad. Yes, of course.
I feel like he's not sending me signs, like, where is he?
(18:43):
Like I'm always seeing these TikToks where it's like, I was
crying with my dad and a butterfly landed on me.
And it's like, where's my butterfly?
Where is it? And it's like, yeah, I love my
dog. Maybe that's my dad.
And like, I have this new job inmy life that has given me a
whole new group of friends, a whole new community, a whole
(19:05):
like, OK, maybe that's my dad. Maybe he's more big picture.
He just was never like while alive really like a big picture.
Yeah. So it's kind of like why now I'm
just like I I would really like.I'll take anything Dad like it
like a little Caterpillar. Some just.
I saw a Roach this morning. Like was that you?
You know what I mean? I just I'm looking.
(19:26):
I saw a Roach last week maybe. Like are you looking for signs
or no? No, I'm looking for a lot of
other things though. I'm like please help me.
Him or everybody like a job. Yeah, like I'm just, I'm just
you. Know OK so if you get a job like
if a major offer were to roll. Through I get a job like every
day and it's like it now. Yeah, but you keep like
accepting the job offers. So now you have like multiple,
(19:48):
multiple jobs. I don't.
Even know dude I don't even knowI they have to read a book in
like 3 days. I know for the book club.
How do you how are you going to do it?
I know. Well, I guess you have a long
commute there. Do you ever read on your way
there? No, it's in the car.
So I don't really know what I'm going to do.
(20:09):
I'm going to figure it out. I'm going to.
I'm going. To would you ever put on like
the audio book? Yeah, I went to the park and I
turned on the audio book today. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow too,
but we'll see. I haven't read one book this
year. Like that's scary.
I need to get back to like summer reading.
Yeah, summer reading list. Yeah, I mean, I didn't read when
(20:29):
I had summer reading, but. You read the Brené Brown book.
Didn't finish it some I should just probably have like 5 pages
left. I should go home tonight and
just read it Just. Finish it tonight.
Just sit and read it. Is it really unprofessional if
you were to grab me another cheese stick?
That's fine. Do you want one too?
No, I'm OK. OK, so will Hannah get some
cheese stick thinking the headphones.
(20:52):
So this episode is just us. It's just me and Hannah shooting
the shit, doing our thing. And next week we have holy moly.
Holy cow. Thank you so much.
Well, we got to finish these up soon.
These are Best Buy November 28th, 2020.
Five, that's a lot of time. November.
(21:14):
You've all of October. We better finish.
Something soon it really flew. By September did like way way,
way too fast. What?
Do you want to be for Halloween?Oh.
My God, once again Wolf has rejected a great idea.
This mates accept it. OK, I want I I don't think
you're gonna like it. I want to be a Playboy Bunny and
(21:36):
I want him to be a carrot. Can I be a Bunny too?
Yeah. And then Wolf and Stinky can be.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like have sucked like a carrot.
That's cute. That is really funny.
He wants, of course he wants to be Batman, but then he's like.
And you can be Catwoman. Then he was like, or even sexy
(21:58):
Robin. It's like, stop.
That's like, you're not. He's not.
And I talked to him, like, way too seriously about Halloween.
I was like, you're not acting like you're in a partnership
right now. Like, he's acting like I want to
be this for Halloween. It's like, OK, well, if you want
us to go to something together, like I don't want to be Batman
(22:19):
and Catwoman. That's just not me, you know?
Yeah, but I I'm think I have right now 3 Halloweens.
What do you mean? I was invited to a party that
happens on Halloween. Great.
You can come too. By myself.
No, we'll go together. What party is it?
(22:40):
I don't even know why I'm going.What do you mean?
Other than the fact that I said I would go?
Brian, his friends throw this party every year on actual
Halloween, but he can't go because he has a big race in the
morning. So I said that I really never
get to go to a big party. So I said, what would it be odd
if I went as you? And he was like that?
(23:03):
That'd probably be fine because like, there'd be a world where I
could have brought you. And I was like, yeah, I'll just
go. And that way I'll meet your
friends finally. So maybe we could go to the.
Yeah. Is it a house party?
I'll have to wait for the inviteto draw.
For Brian, good. And then of course, we will both
be at, which is a much lighter event, Orange Theory's Halloween
(23:23):
party. OK, wow.
Packed. Schedule.
And we have a possible event that we discussed on the.
Couch. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hannah, those are your three plans.
You don't think that's good? You think it's not good?
I thought you were. Going to be like I got invited
to exclusive. Like who would invite me there?
(23:44):
You never know, you know, we'll be invited to a bunch of
comedian. Homes One we're doing, one we're
going to do, so one we have to impersonate another person to
get in. No, no, the second one is that
we're coming. It's and no, it's at a
restaurant across the street from the gym, Morgan's.
Well, no, no, it's going to be apair of shades.
(24:04):
OK in the backpack yard. OK, but for for Morgan's I have
to not Morgan's. It's not there for the Orange
Theory 1. They're going to pick a theme
and we all have to dress as theme.
Well, everyone who works there does.
I guess I'll have to. Pick 2.
They're thinking pirate. I know they didn't like my idea.
You'd be a parrot. No, I wouldn't be like a sexy
(24:26):
sailor. My idea was that we each be a
Muppet. Nobody liked that.
I'm tired of having great ideas.I like your Playboy idea 100%.
Right. That's so cute.
Like I'm a sexy Bunny wolf is a carrot.
Like that's cute. Because there's no reason for
(24:46):
him to look good on Halloween, you know?
What I think I'm going to do on Halloween, the only thing I'm
going to do, I'm going to told Platos right now I'm going to
sit on the Bush, Flatbush Ave. I'm going to hand out candy to
all the kids. I'll do that.
You wanna do that? We should.
We should get my camp chairs. We can post up.
Yeah, cuz there's gonna be so many we.
Can dress as little witches and we can give out candy.
Let's do that. Let's do that.
(25:08):
We. That's literally that's what I
said last year. Let's do that.
It was so much pressure to do something.
It's like, yeah, let's just do that and can I sing something?
For her, yeah, done. Sometimes I'm like, is Halloween
really for us? Don't tell.
Hope that. To be I for me, maybe it's like,
OK, Hannah, your plan for Halloween is what?
To be like, slutty. Yeah, that's fine if that's your
(25:31):
prerogative, but it's kind of like.
Let's go to one party, but on the day of Halloween, let's pass
out candy. Yeah, and you know, we're going
to be invited to 1,000,000 probably. 3 millions of parties
every. Comedian with the Backyard will
be throwing a Halloween party sowe should just pick one and be
like let's go all in on this one.
(25:52):
Yeah. But I'm not, I'm not hopping
around. No.
I'm not hopping around. Look at me and then remember,
look at me. I'm throwing a Christmas party.
Yes, it's going to be. Hopefully not on Christmas,
because I won't be. Here, no, but Quinn thought it
was going to be on Christmas andshe said that that was good
because she'll be in town this year.
And I was like, I'm not throwinga Christmas party on Christmas.
(26:14):
I'm going to be with my family, but she'll be in town this year.
I'm waking up, which is great. I'm glad.
I'm glad I'm finally waking up at 8/15/15 8:15 on a Monday 8.
15 on a Monday. I'm going to sleep like a rock
tonight. I won't.
I'm sorry because. This is this is the life of an
(26:36):
insomniac 33 year old single woman.
These lights probably aren't helpful for people you just you.
Spend all day chugging caffeine,being like, holy shit.
And then you get into bed and it's like, hey, we should write
a book. Yeah, we should write a.
Book, you're wide awake. But look, I have these little 5
(26:57):
hour energy shots that I didn't have I.
Saw that? I didn't have a throwback.
Yeah. Throwback is right.
I didn't. I brought them to the wedding
and I was like, Oh my God, I'm going to be I'm going to need
these because there were so manyactivities at camp.
And of course I did every singleactivity.
I made a beautiful necklace. That's this park slip on it, by
the way. Oh, I can't wait to.
(27:17):
See it? By the way, Speaking of rings, I
got an aura ring. I've had a loan.
I'm going to be paying $45.00 a month for a year.
Nora, everyone's been telling meto get an Apple Watch, and I
said no. The only thing I'll ever get is
it. Or a ring.
You have it, you should have it on.
(27:38):
I don't have it on. It's in the mail and you should
get one too. A $45.00 you take out the for.
How long a year? That's not bad.
I know it's just like I'm still paying off my rug and my couch
is just I'm still paying off thedress I had.
I returned just. Let's just both get the ordering
because it'll be so fun. 45 for a year.
(27:59):
I'll have to finish paying off the carpet first.
When's the carpet done? I think one more month.
OK, I'll see you in one month. I'm.
So I'm going to be so jealous you and it tells you you're like
sleep score. It's going to tell me everything
I need in life because I had, I was big on the Fitbit for a long
time, but can you name anything uglier than a Fitbit or an Apple
Watch? I'll wait.
(28:21):
Like, literally. Everyone keeps acting like I'm
crazy when I'm like, I don't want an Apple Watch.
I don't like the way it looks like.
It doesn't look good on me. Everyone's like, it's like
because you guys have it, so youhave to tell yourself you like
it. It's the ugliest thing in the
world. And I'm sorry that you have it
and that you're lying to yourself.
It doesn't look good and I don'twant another device that can
show me my text messages. You know who should be?
(28:42):
I'm already so overwhelmed. Who the Bush is?
Carrying. Yeah, she wants to hang.
I've never seen her Margarian. She's.
Really. Yeah.
So when Margot really wants to play, she'll carry that ribbon
around and cry hysterically. I've only seen her kind of
strand. No.
She's. Never seen her.
She's like it's her favorite toy.
(29:05):
She's meowing. I know she really wants it.
Sorry, Marge. Tell me something uglier.
A woman as a bridesmaid with an Apple Watch on.
Please tell me that wasn't real.I've seen it.
Have you not seen those picturesof girls online and they're
holding or like any sort of niceevent and they're wearing their
Apple Watch? It's.
So. Sick.
Like are you OK? And I was someone was trying to
(29:28):
tell me you should have. My wedding with an Apple Watch?
You're out of there. And you're not bye.
You're not allowed at my weddingwith the Apple Go.
Go take some steps outside. Everyone's hair will be slicked
back and their Apple Watches will be dropped at the door.
Yeah, but you can absolutely wear your aura ring at my
wedding. You could totally wear your aura
ring at my wedding. Because it's just a ring.
It's just a ring. Oh my God, Nora, I'm so jealous.
(29:50):
I didn't even know. You don't need.
To be jealous. We can literally get one for you
right now. Let's.
Just go well not right now, not right now because I I got paid.
This is not interesting, but I got paid last Friday so like 4-3
days ago and that was the last paycheck before rent.
So this paycheck is not no one has access to this paycheck.
This paycheck I like anyone who's like, oh, I'll get it or
(30:14):
you pay me back like I'm not paying you back until my next
paycheck. Do not Well here, let's right
now what? Color are you gonna get?
What did you get? I got gold.
I mean, I probably should all myI only wear gold, so probably
gold too. Probably gold.
So I think like should I be getting into silver?
I don't think so. Oh, you can get one step ahead
(30:37):
of the game. I have the sizing kit, so you
can figure out what size ring I want and then from there, so I
was so I wore it on my index finger because that said it was
the most accurate online. They said if that doesn't work
you can always go for middle finger and ring finger but that
index is the best which whatever.
So I got the size that fits my index finger but feels most
(30:57):
comfortable on my middle finger because I think middle finger is
more chic. Yeah, it is so just like so, but
I can. Put it on my and they said the
the data varies like like a miniscule and I'm like that's.
Fine, we don't care. So I have this first when you
buy the ring they send you a sizing kit with all these
different rings and you try themall on and you wear them for 24
(31:19):
hours. And this is amazing.
And then you just tell them whatsize you want.
So I have the kit with me so youcan skip that step.
I can try them all. On you can try them all.
On you'll know which size you are so that when you're ready in
a month you can just order it. Order it and you don't need the
kit. That's amazing.
You're one. We're one step ahead of the.
Game. I can just get my ring when I'm
ready. Oh my.
(31:39):
God, it's a $500 ring. It's so crazy.
Maybe that's why Affirm. Maybe I should.
I'm getting a little worried that I haven't done the math on
all my affirms You're. Affirmed.
You're you're being affirmed. It's like I have agreed to like
5 different plans of like 50 and20 and 60.
(32:00):
It's like Hannah, those add up and now that amount is going to
be needed every month. Yeah, I need.
A credit card. It is really crazy you don't
have a credit card. It's getting all I have is the
money I have when it's given to me that's out of control.
Any extra, yeah, I need. And I know that anyone listening
(32:23):
who knows about credit cards is like, that is not a reason to
get a credit card. But like, yeah, it is for me.
Yeah. Just like when I think about
like, even like, OK, if I were to go grocery shopping because
I'm so stressed about this paycheck, I would put it on my
credit card, right. So I'm not stressed and then
when I get my next paycheck I would pay it off right?
(32:43):
So I seem to understand. You do.
You're you're almost there. I'll, I'll, I mean, I can refer
you to Chase Sapphire. Is that a good one?
That's the best. One that's the best one because
I guess. What do I I need to think about
what points I want or no I need a rebuilding card because my a
rebuild like your credits in theshitter.
(33:05):
Yeah, might not be a good one for you then.
I'm looking for a rebuild card. I'm looking for a man in finance
and. Six times tall eyes.
I'm looking for tall eyes. I'm looking for like.
A cartoon characters with your tall eyes.
Tall man with eyes. I'm looking for a man with eyes.
Honestly, I'm looking for a tallman with eyes.
Yeah, a tall man with eyes. Just give me a call.
(33:26):
I'm call her. I'm sure we'll work out.
We're honestly, we could wrap itup right now.
We're at 33 minutes and I feel like this short episode, right?
Yeah, this was, I felt pretty good about it.
My nails are off and like in a bad way.
And this is another thing creditcard, I would have nails.
(33:47):
Although usually at the nail places they'll give you like a
$2.00 discount if you used cash.And I'm sick of that.
Stop. Stop telling me it's a discount
because it's not. Because then I have to pay your
ATM the $2.00. So let's just put it on my card.
Let's just call it what it is. And all all the nail salons now.
Well, at least the least ones I've been to recently.
(34:09):
I don't go that much this year, but like all the ones I've been
to. You Venmo your girl, so I'm
like, you're not catching me with this cash thing.
You can't trick me with this. Oh my God, my nails.
It's like, wait, did you see what got banned in the UK?
Everything. It was for nails.
Oh, really? They like immediately pulled
(34:29):
some sort of gel from all nail salons.
Is it gel XI don't know. I tried to look away because
she's really intense with the ribbon.
This happens around 8:00. Is it?
What time? Yeah, it's 822.
She's key time. She's pissed.
She's. Standing over the ribbon, she
will not look at us. She hates it seems to hate when
(34:51):
Mom works. Mommy's podcasting.
Mama. Mother.
Knows we should figure out what our year anniversary of New
Yorker of the Week is. Can I tell you this, we're
coming up really because I was trying to figure out when I
started at Orangetheory. Because it they said that you

(35:14):
2 years out. Oh, that's great.
We're kind of right on track. We are right on track.
I was looking at, I was trying to figure out when I started at
Orangetheory and I remember thatyou posted in our story, in your
story, a picture of me there. And then I was seeing that I
(35:34):
had, we had all this high heels and punchline stuff, and I was
like, Oh my God, we really haven't been doing New Yorker of
the Week for that long. We really haven't.
We really haven't. Wait, let's get us a little
present. Please get us.
It's not a lot to ask for. We just want a little present.
Wait, let's see. Let's look at this.

No, there was still chirp chirp,chirp chirp.
Chirp, chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp.

Well, the next time people TuneIn.
(38:07):
So this week is. Literally get ready this week.
Is us. But next week we have a guest
and you can't even guess who it is 'cause it's so good.
So don't even. Try y'all ready for this OK?
Love you. Bye bye.
Boom. Here we are.
Here we are. Let's get a crack.
That's not an amazing, that's a good one.
This episode open up a can of something.
Open up a can. Of and have it enjoy it with
your with your listening. I have mango, you'll hear.
(00:38):
I have lime bubbly. Do you have a preferred?
Do you have a preferred seltzer?Brand.
Yeah, I'm dying. I asked you this the last
episode. Did you?
Because I said I have never. I never see people get vintage
and you said that that was, but that's I didn't answer actually.
So I I would say bubbly is idealto have then Lacroix, but also
(01:05):
what is that company that's like?
I can't even think of it. It's not.
It's like, hold on, I ordered anAmazon.
Like it's kind of like no one thinks of this brand, but that's
why it's always the cheapest. It's like country home seltzer
or something. Yeah.
(01:26):
Yeah, yeah, I know about you don't know all about country.
Home Is it country home? Let me look at my my recently
ordered. Welcome to New Yorker of the
Week, where we find we go down and dirty with what the real
seltzer names are. Oh.
No, no, no. Here we go.
That was so loud. Waterloo Waterloo Waterloo is
(01:48):
always going to be the cheapest 1 online.
I was told that Waterloo is the the top tier brand by someone.
They were like it's the fanciestbut I don't know everyone who
has an opinion on seltzer. It's like I can't.
Yeah, it's a little. It's a little much for me.
I'll drink. It's like it is what it is.
If it's sparkling water, I'm I want it.
(02:10):
I do have to say. San Pellegrino.
Oh my God, 'cause they're in thewater too.
Tastes weird. To Sam Pellegrino, their cans,
they're trying to be like too much, they're trying to be too
special. And their bottles is salt flat.
It's full of salt, flat flat. Salt.
You can't call water that with salt full of salt.
(02:31):
And I don't really like Liquid Death because they claim to have
these fun flavors. If your seltzer isn't 0 of
everything, how dare you. Like the the treat of seltzer is
that it's delicious and there's nothing in it.
Somehow it zeros across the board.
But like Wolf bought a pack of liquid deaths and like, I don't
(02:53):
remember what flavor it was, butlike it had sugar in it and I
was like I had drank like 2 and that's it's fine.
But it's like, well, I wouldn't have like housed these two
seltzers if I had known housing them.
I would do I kind of house them.Not as much as Wolf does.
Wolf. Like, I wish he grew up poor.
Like, he has such a bad mentality.
(03:13):
Like when the house is full of Diet Cokes and seltzers and
groceries, He's like a crazy person in the kitchen.
Like, he's like drinking a Diet Coke and a seltzer and like,
snacking while cooking dinner. And it's like, I want everything
to last as long as possible. And that is the difference
between someone who grew up withmoney and someone who grew up
(03:35):
without. That's the biggest difference.
So it's really good that we got together, yeah.
You can teach him a lesson. Because don't you feel that way?
Like when the fridge is full? Like how long can we keep it
looking like this? Yeah, I mean, I do sometimes.
I'm like snacking during dinner kind of vibe.
You know how I get like. If there's olives, I'm like.
OK, but if you had bought, like,a cheese platter, salami and
(03:59):
crackers. Yeah.
And you are making, like, a pasta and salmon dinner, would
you also lay out for yourself some cheese, salami and
crackers? No.
Exactly. That's like a separate occasion.
Yeah. But for Wolf, it's like how fun
everything's here. And it's like.
Everyone's here. It's kind of such an ordeal also
for us, refilling groceries, especially in New York.
(04:20):
It's like we just did. We did it.
We went and we bought it and we took it on the subway and we got
it home and like, we're done now.
And it's like, why would you want the process of doing that
again to be any sooner than whenit has to?
Be right, right. That's my mentality on it.
How much do you spend on groceries when you go to the
store? We go to, we go to Trader Joe's
(04:41):
and Mr. Lime and I would say between and this is in hopes of
lasting 3 weeks. I would say we go to the grocery
store every three weeks in total, probably between the two,
like 250. And then and then we split it.
Unless he's played my game wherewe reveal how much is in our
bank account. And once he said that, he feels
(05:02):
so bad at the difference that I'm like, you're not, you're not
going to request me right now, right?
Because then it's like, it'd be insane, you know?
But most times we split it. I guess I like that we split it,
but sometimes I'm like, it's so hard.
I love being like, I can carry my own weight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then I'm like, well, why
would I have to, though? Yeah, you're here.
(05:23):
Yeah. You know what I mean?
Yeah. That's how I feel about him.
I can't imagine having that situation.
Well I guess in college I did cuz we had I had like 6
roommates and we all but we all went grocery shopping on our own
and we all labeled our food and everyone was on their own
journey. I honestly, you noticed that for
a while. I wanted to do that with Wolf.
I wanted us to be completely separate.
(05:43):
Separate but equal so. That's what I'm fighting for at
my house, Fighting. For at her house.
That's what I'm looking to have with Wolfgang.
Should we do the intro now? Oh yes, I'm manager lender.
And I'm Nora Freed. And you're listening to new.
Yorker of the Week. And it's it's just us.
I'm 2. Days out from my period so I
(06:05):
feel like I'm asleep right now. My energy is on the ground.
But you brought something fun. I brought.
But look how exciting. I brought a Mexican candy called
I don't know. And it's it's, it's good it.
Was yeah. Is that OK?
Yeah, let's just call it what itis, you know?
(06:28):
And so I was just at a great wedding this past weekend in New
Hampshire and they had Mexican candies on as like part of the,
like almost instead of a bread bowl, they had all the little
candies. And this one was my favorite one
out of the. Whole OK, so this one you
(06:49):
already know you like. Yeah, so I was like, I'm going
to bring two of these back. Let me try and I'll Swatch
Hannah. Eat it.
I'm pretty, I've learned I'm pretty weird about candy.
Meaning like I like the candies that no one else likes.
Like, you know I love. Black licorice.
You might like this. It has a little bit of a spice
to it, but not spicy. I don't know.
(07:12):
Here we go. It's a small brown square.
Oh, it smells like it has a little spice and.
This was everyone's favorite at the table too and everyone was
like wow this is really good. Yeah, it's like fruity and
spicy. 700 flavors, Yeah. What do you think?
(07:33):
It's like somewhere between. You.
Love it. It's kind of like a fruit strip
with that, like Tahin little little kick to it.
There's. A little tahin.
Kick. I do like it a lot.
Yeah. Thank you for bringing that.
No, no, I don't hate it. I don't hate it.
(07:55):
I'm gonna. I'm getting nervous with my
teeth. I hate that.
I'll reveal to the group. I have learned that I have a
cavity on all four of my wisdom teeth and I fully have a cracked
tooth. So sometimes when I eat candies.
It should pop up windows. If I can, it doesn't hurt right
now, but if I can feel a little like, then I know that if I take
(08:17):
another bite before that goes away, I'm going to be in a lot
of pain. And really conveniently, they
were like, we'll send you a person for the wisdom teeth
that'll be covered by your insurance.
They haven't sent me anyone. And then they said, and you need
urgently to get your cracked tooth fill in, but your
insurance won't cover it. So it's kind of like, what do I
(08:39):
do? Name one thing insurance covers?
I can't apparently. All four of my wisdoms youth, I
don't want to do that. Oh my.
God, I was really yummy. You know who would hate this
maxim? I know we're really chewing.
I don't mind that sound, I. Love it, I love it.
(09:00):
You know why you love it? Because you like listening to
Margot eat and this is kind of like a little version of.
That my little girl. So you've been out of New York
for a minute. I've been running around town, I
know. I got a little pile.
Here I've been running around. Yeah, she's Rick.
I really like those isn't. It good.
It's like you want more, but youwant less and you're not sure.
(09:22):
Yeah, but you definitely like you're going to finish it.
So do you have a New York momentor do you have an out of state
moment? I think my New York moment was
that I brought 2 suitcases to A2night wedding in New Hampshire
and lugging that with a purse with a pillow to New Hampshire
(09:47):
was really. Funny you had to bring your own
pillow. Yeah, it was.
Real camp. It was camp.
That's camp. It was camp.
But yeah, it was definitely as Iwas lugging the all my luggage,
I was like, wow, Nora, really? And then I got to the camp and I
unloaded all my stuff and there were just like pill bottles and
(10:07):
makeup all over my twin bed and I was rushing to get.
Ready. I'm home.
And like I'm sharing this cabin with a ton of people and I'm
just like I, I was rushing to get to the first party, which
was the night that I arrived andI only had like 2 minutes to get
ready. And I had brought this whole
outfit and stuff. So I really wanted to like work
it. So I put, so I put everything on
(10:31):
the bed and then I went to the party and I was like, hey, like
when you go in, you're gonna seea lot of stuff on that twin bed
to your right and just like. Don't worry about.
It and we decided that that bed was Atlantic Barclays because it
had everything you needed. From Atlantic Barclays, I
brought it to New Hampshire. It was there it was, that was.
(10:53):
Twin bed, There were. Multiple makeup palettes.
There were cigarettes. There was Old Navy.
Stuff Old Navy stuff that's that's big stuff from.
Target like you, I really had done the rounds and so people
would then throughout the weekend come sit, come sit on
the bed and be like I'm going togo to Barclays for a second and
(11:15):
cross something it. Was really funny.
That's really funny. And can I get bang like
Barclays? We kept being like, I'm at
Sephora right now. It's like.
There was so much makeup. Nora told me that everyone was
using her makeup, and I learned this because right now she seems
to be cooking it up in a pan on her stove.
She has all her makeup brush sitting in the pants.
Yeah, they're drying out becauseI did a big deep cleanse of
(11:38):
them. Yeah, because I was like this
is. You can't get a stye.
Yeah, I just. It's like a.
Lot of I just doing a lot of people's makeup.
The thing is, is that I was fat for so long in my life that all
I, the only thing that I felt like I had had control over was
my makeup. And so I put a lot of effort
into learning makeup, understanding it, buying makeup
(12:01):
because I was like, this is my thing.
And then, you know, next thing you know, I'm a medium large
and, you know, not a triple XL Infinity.
And I can fit into clothes, which is fine if you're that.
Too if you're a triple XL. Infinity, but like it's harder
to get clothes because our society's fucked up.
But it's like now I can buy the clothes that I want.
So now it's like, I have the clothes and the makeup, which is
(12:23):
great, but people see me and they're like, how did you do
that with your makeup? And I'm like, this is trauma.
Yeah, this is, this is like me sitting there being like how?
It made something beautiful though.
People, you're very good with makeup.
People really like they and but the problem with that is that
when you're getting ready, people are like, nor can you do
(12:44):
my makeup. And The thing is this, I can't,
I really can't do your makeup. Like I just I try, I can guide
you in the direction that you should go in based on what I see
on your face. But in terms of actually taking
the brush, that needs to be yourjourney because it's just so
complicated to do makeup on someone else's face.
(13:07):
Like I have no idea how makeup artists do mascara on another
person. I'm.
Like what the hell is that? And I wish they wouldn't.
Just. Pass that off to me.
Pass it to me. But they do a great job makeup
artists need. I hope they're making enough
money in this economy. Honestly, especially because
like I'm someone who, like you just said, you can't do other
(13:28):
people's makeup like 5 seconds ago.
And I'm so sorry, I'm so out of.It right now we can't record.
You know what you can't? We can't record on myself.
Look at me, I'm like. It's OK.
I I woke up pretty tired today and I almost called out of work,
(13:50):
which I never do. Like that's the level I was
feeling. And when I was leaving to come
here, I kind of was like, this is like, this is, you know, when
like, you know, you're going to shut down after something.
This is kind of like, let's see what comes out.
But after this, we're closing upshop.
The shop is. Closed.
The shop is closed. Hey, do you see that Raisin
brand over there? Raisin the bar is what it says
(14:13):
on the back. Take a look at the the front.
Is this an off brand Raisin brand?
Is that? That yeah, this is, this is by
Post. OK, Raisin brand I think is by
how long? Yeah, this is, I mean, it's not,
but you do have Sun made raisinsin it.
That's weird. I bought this Raisin Bran and I,
(14:35):
I don't think that's I was like.This is not Raisin Bran.
If you don't see that sunshine on it, it's not.
That Raisin. There is some sunshine at the
top. No, but you know the one with
the face. You know the logo for Raisin
Bran? I know and the flakes aren't
covered in sugar and I'm just like, what is?
Oh my God, it's like healthy Raisin Bran.
It's like the. Real.
It's like Raisin Bran, you know?It's not like it's not Raisin
(14:58):
Bran, you know, It's Raisin Bran.
Raisins are crazy because like in some foods, raisins are
essential. But like these little boxes,
like I used to be sent to schoolwith a little box of raisins.
Like, don't give me that. Yeah, don't give me that.
Not like I would have all. Of them in a handful at once.
Whole grain wheat and bran cereal.
(15:19):
Oh my Yog. Throw it out, flush it.
Flush it. Flush it.
Down. What were you talking about?
I literally was just looking at the Raisin Bran.
What was your most New York moment of the week?
Let a girl think you know, I've been trying to keep a list, but
the other day I saw that I was just adding to the list
(15:39):
something I wanted to tell you. Not really.
New York moment, Here we go. What I have in my list is old
woman shopping eyeglass story. So now I'll have to figure out
what I meant by that. And I love the song.
You'll know we are Christians byour love.
(16:03):
That's what I wrote and I do. Did you hear that?
Charlie Kirk's funeral. I was thinking about how.
Some sorry I know we can't talk about Charlie Kirk girls we we
have on every. One, we're kind of like, we're
still tired of taking off. So maybe a cancellation would be
some like PR we need. No, I was thinking about how
(16:25):
some church songs were just likegood growing up, and that one
was pretty good. We will walk with each other.
We will walk hand in hand. And this is when I thought I
wanted to be a pastor too. So it was kind of like, this is
the Best Song I've ever sung. I believe in God.
I'm going to be a pastor. Didn't know women could be.
(16:48):
Pastors, I we really, You didn'tknow that I, my pastor growing
up was a gay woman. Whoa.
I was at a pretty my church was it's not kooky to have a gay
woman password past pastor password.
But like my church was a little kooky.
(17:09):
It was like, I don't know, therewas a time at my church where
like me and the other teenage girls like performed Born This
Way as the service that day. Like I love that my church was
very much like whatever moves you is your religion.
So there was like times where you could just bring to the to
church like this moves me. So I want to do it.
(17:32):
And the pastor was like, yes, let's.
Do it. So that was a time when I was
confusing liking performing for liking God.
Right, right. I'm still, I don't know, like,
is there one? I don't know.
It's like God, I'm yeah. And I'm kind of like, not to be
so dismissive of God if there isone, but like, there's so much
(17:56):
going on down here, I can't evenstart.
People are like, what do you think about aliens?
It's like, let's get right here.We have so much going on right
here. I don't know if there's a God,
if there's an alien. I don't know if there's life on
Mars. We really need to focus our
energy, right? We have enough things to think
(18:17):
about right in front of us. You know what I mean?
Are ghosts real? I don't know.
I don't know. Is my dad a real ghost?
Yes, yeah, don't tell me otherwise I will freak.
I I can't say. One more thing about my dead
dad. Yes, of course.
I feel like he's not sending me signs, like, where is he?
(18:43):
Like I'm always seeing these TikToks where it's like, I was
crying with my dad and a butterfly landed on me.
And it's like, where's my butterfly?
Where is it? And it's like, yeah, I love my
dog. Maybe that's my dad.
And like, I have this new job inmy life that has given me a
whole new group of friends, a whole new community, a whole
(19:05):
like, OK, maybe that's my dad. Maybe he's more big picture.
He just was never like while alive really like a big picture.
Yeah. So it's kind of like why now I'm
just like I I would really like.I'll take anything Dad like it
like a little Caterpillar. Some just.
I saw a Roach this morning. Like was that you?
You know what I mean? I just I'm looking.
(19:26):
I saw a Roach last week maybe. Like are you looking for signs
or no? No, I'm looking for a lot of
other things though. I'm like please help me.
Him or everybody like a job. Yeah, like I'm just, I'm just
you. Know OK so if you get a job like
if a major offer were to roll. Through I get a job like every
day and it's like it now. Yeah, but you keep like
accepting the job offers. So now you have like multiple,
(19:48):
multiple jobs. I don't.
Even know dude I don't even knowI they have to read a book in
like 3 days. I know for the book club.
How do you how are you going to do it?
I know. Well, I guess you have a long
commute there. Do you ever read on your way
there? No, it's in the car.
So I don't really know what I'm going to do.
(20:09):
I'm going to figure it out. I'm going to.
I'm going. To would you ever put on like
the audio book? Yeah, I went to the park and I
turned on the audio book today. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow too,
but we'll see. I haven't read one book this
year. Like that's scary.
I need to get back to like summer reading.
Yeah, summer reading list. Yeah, I mean, I didn't read when
(20:29):
I had summer reading, but. You read the Brené Brown book.
Didn't finish it some I should just probably have like 5 pages
left. I should go home tonight and
just read it Just. Finish it tonight.
Just sit and read it. Is it really unprofessional if
you were to grab me another cheese stick?
That's fine. Do you want one too?
No, I'm OK. OK, so will Hannah get some
cheese stick thinking the headphones.
(20:52):
So this episode is just us. It's just me and Hannah shooting
the shit, doing our thing. And next week we have holy moly.
Holy cow. Thank you so much.
Well, we got to finish these up soon.
These are Best Buy November 28th, 2020.
Five, that's a lot of time. November.
(21:14):
You've all of October. We better finish.
Something soon it really flew. By September did like way way,
way too fast. What?
Do you want to be for Halloween?Oh.
My God, once again Wolf has rejected a great idea.
This mates accept it. OK, I want I I don't think
you're gonna like it. I want to be a Playboy Bunny and
(21:36):
I want him to be a carrot. Can I be a Bunny too?
Yeah. And then Wolf and Stinky can be.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like have sucked like a carrot.
That's cute. That is really funny.
He wants, of course he wants to be Batman, but then he's like.
And you can be Catwoman. Then he was like, or even sexy
(21:58):
Robin. It's like, stop.
That's like, you're not. He's not.
And I talked to him, like, way too seriously about Halloween.
I was like, you're not acting like you're in a partnership
right now. Like, he's acting like I want to
be this for Halloween. It's like, OK, well, if you want
us to go to something together, like I don't want to be Batman
(22:19):
and Catwoman. That's just not me, you know?
Yeah, but I I'm think I have right now 3 Halloweens.
What do you mean? I was invited to a party that
happens on Halloween. Great.
You can come too. By myself.
No, we'll go together. What party is it?
(22:40):
I don't even know why I'm going.What do you mean?
Other than the fact that I said I would go?
Brian, his friends throw this party every year on actual
Halloween, but he can't go because he has a big race in the
morning. So I said that I really never
get to go to a big party. So I said, what would it be odd
if I went as you? And he was like that?
(23:03):
That'd probably be fine because like, there'd be a world where I
could have brought you. And I was like, yeah, I'll just
go. And that way I'll meet your
friends finally. So maybe we could go to the.
Yeah. Is it a house party?
I'll have to wait for the inviteto draw.
For Brian, good. And then of course, we will both
be at, which is a much lighter event, Orange Theory's Halloween
(23:23):
party. OK, wow.
Packed. Schedule.
And we have a possible event that we discussed on the.
Couch. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hannah, those are your three plans.
You don't think that's good? You think it's not good?
I thought you were. Going to be like I got invited
to exclusive. Like who would invite me there?
(23:44):
You never know, you know, we'll be invited to a bunch of
comedian. Homes One we're doing, one we're
going to do, so one we have to impersonate another person to
get in. No, no, the second one is that
we're coming. It's and no, it's at a
restaurant across the street from the gym, Morgan's.
Well, no, no, it's going to be apair of shades.
(24:04):
OK in the backpack yard. OK, but for for Morgan's I have
to not Morgan's. It's not there for the Orange
Theory 1. They're going to pick a theme
and we all have to dress as theme.
Well, everyone who works there does.
I guess I'll have to. Pick 2.
They're thinking pirate. I know they didn't like my idea.
You'd be a parrot. No, I wouldn't be like a sexy
(24:26):
sailor. My idea was that we each be a
Muppet. Nobody liked that.
I'm tired of having great ideas.I like your Playboy idea 100%.
Right. That's so cute.
Like I'm a sexy Bunny wolf is a carrot.
Like that's cute. Because there's no reason for
(24:46):
him to look good on Halloween, you know?
What I think I'm going to do on Halloween, the only thing I'm
going to do, I'm going to told Platos right now I'm going to
sit on the Bush, Flatbush Ave. I'm going to hand out candy to
all the kids. I'll do that.
You wanna do that? We should.
We should get my camp chairs. We can post up.
Yeah, cuz there's gonna be so many we.
Can dress as little witches and we can give out candy.
Let's do that. Let's do that.
(25:08):
We. That's literally that's what I
said last year. Let's do that.
It was so much pressure to do something.
It's like, yeah, let's just do that and can I sing something?
For her, yeah, done. Sometimes I'm like, is Halloween
really for us? Don't tell.
Hope that. To be I for me, maybe it's like,
OK, Hannah, your plan for Halloween is what?
To be like, slutty. Yeah, that's fine if that's your
(25:31):
prerogative, but it's kind of like.
Let's go to one party, but on the day of Halloween, let's pass
out candy. Yeah, and you know, we're going
to be invited to 1,000,000 probably. 3 millions of parties
every. Comedian with the Backyard will
be throwing a Halloween party sowe should just pick one and be
like let's go all in on this one.
(25:52):
Yeah. But I'm not, I'm not hopping
around. No.
I'm not hopping around. Look at me and then remember,
look at me. I'm throwing a Christmas party.
Yes, it's going to be. Hopefully not on Christmas,
because I won't be. Here, no, but Quinn thought it
was going to be on Christmas andshe said that that was good
because she'll be in town this year.
And I was like, I'm not throwinga Christmas party on Christmas.
(26:14):
I'm going to be with my family, but she'll be in town this year.
I'm waking up, which is great. I'm glad.
I'm glad I'm finally waking up at 8/15/15 8:15 on a Monday 8.
15 on a Monday. I'm going to sleep like a rock
tonight. I won't.
I'm sorry because. This is this is the life of an
(26:36):
insomniac 33 year old single woman.
These lights probably aren't helpful for people you just you.
Spend all day chugging caffeine,being like, holy shit.
And then you get into bed and it's like, hey, we should write
a book. Yeah, we should write a.
Book, you're wide awake. But look, I have these little 5
(26:57):
hour energy shots that I didn't have I.
Saw that? I didn't have a throwback.
Yeah. Throwback is right.
I didn't. I brought them to the wedding
and I was like, Oh my God, I'm going to be I'm going to need
these because there were so manyactivities at camp.
And of course I did every singleactivity.
I made a beautiful necklace. That's this park slip on it, by
the way. Oh, I can't wait to.
(27:17):
See it? By the way, Speaking of rings, I
got an aura ring. I've had a loan.
I'm going to be paying $45.00 a month for a year.
Nora, everyone's been telling meto get an Apple Watch, and I
said no. The only thing I'll ever get is
it. Or a ring.
You have it, you should have it on.
(27:38):
I don't have it on. It's in the mail and you should
get one too. A $45.00 you take out the for.
How long a year? That's not bad.
I know it's just like I'm still paying off my rug and my couch
is just I'm still paying off thedress I had.
I returned just. Let's just both get the ordering
because it'll be so fun. 45 for a year.
(27:59):
I'll have to finish paying off the carpet first.
When's the carpet done? I think one more month.
OK, I'll see you in one month. I'm.
So I'm going to be so jealous you and it tells you you're like
sleep score. It's going to tell me everything
I need in life because I had, I was big on the Fitbit for a long
time, but can you name anything uglier than a Fitbit or an Apple
Watch? I'll wait.
(28:21):
Like, literally. Everyone keeps acting like I'm
crazy when I'm like, I don't want an Apple Watch.
I don't like the way it looks like.
It doesn't look good on me. Everyone's like, it's like
because you guys have it, so youhave to tell yourself you like
it. It's the ugliest thing in the
world. And I'm sorry that you have it
and that you're lying to yourself.
It doesn't look good and I don'twant another device that can
show me my text messages. You know who should be?
(28:42):
I'm already so overwhelmed. Who the Bush is?
Carrying. Yeah, she wants to hang.
I've never seen her Margarian. She's.
Really. Yeah.
So when Margot really wants to play, she'll carry that ribbon
around and cry hysterically. I've only seen her kind of
strand. No.
She's. Never seen her.
She's like it's her favorite toy.
(29:05):
She's meowing. I know she really wants it.
Sorry, Marge. Tell me something uglier.
A woman as a bridesmaid with an Apple Watch on.
Please tell me that wasn't real.I've seen it.
Have you not seen those picturesof girls online and they're
holding or like any sort of niceevent and they're wearing their
Apple Watch? It's.
So. Sick.
Like are you OK? And I was someone was trying to
(29:28):
tell me you should have. My wedding with an Apple Watch?
You're out of there. And you're not bye.
You're not allowed at my weddingwith the Apple Go.
Go take some steps outside. Everyone's hair will be slicked
back and their Apple Watches will be dropped at the door.
Yeah, but you can absolutely wear your aura ring at my
wedding. You could totally wear your aura
ring at my wedding. Because it's just a ring.
It's just a ring. Oh my God, Nora, I'm so jealous.
(29:50):
I didn't even know. You don't need.
To be jealous. We can literally get one for you
right now. Let's.
Just go well not right now, not right now because I I got paid.
This is not interesting, but I got paid last Friday so like 4-3
days ago and that was the last paycheck before rent.
So this paycheck is not no one has access to this paycheck.
This paycheck I like anyone who's like, oh, I'll get it or
(30:14):
you pay me back like I'm not paying you back until my next
paycheck. Do not Well here, let's right
now what? Color are you gonna get?
What did you get? I got gold.
I mean, I probably should all myI only wear gold, so probably
gold too. Probably gold.
So I think like should I be getting into silver?
I don't think so. Oh, you can get one step ahead
(30:37):
of the game. I have the sizing kit, so you
can figure out what size ring I want and then from there, so I
was so I wore it on my index finger because that said it was
the most accurate online. They said if that doesn't work
you can always go for middle finger and ring finger but that
index is the best which whatever.
So I got the size that fits my index finger but feels most
(30:57):
comfortable on my middle finger because I think middle finger is
more chic. Yeah, it is so just like so, but
I can. Put it on my and they said the
the data varies like like a miniscule and I'm like that's.
Fine, we don't care. So I have this first when you
buy the ring they send you a sizing kit with all these
different rings and you try themall on and you wear them for 24
(31:19):
hours. And this is amazing.
And then you just tell them whatsize you want.
So I have the kit with me so youcan skip that step.
I can try them all. On you can try them all.
On you'll know which size you are so that when you're ready in
a month you can just order it. Order it and you don't need the
kit. That's amazing.
You're one. We're one step ahead of the.
Game. I can just get my ring when I'm
ready. Oh my.
(31:39):
God, it's a $500 ring. It's so crazy.
Maybe that's why Affirm. Maybe I should.
I'm getting a little worried that I haven't done the math on
all my affirms You're. Affirmed.
You're you're being affirmed. It's like I have agreed to like
5 different plans of like 50 and20 and 60.
(32:00):
It's like Hannah, those add up and now that amount is going to
be needed every month. Yeah, I need.
A credit card. It is really crazy you don't
have a credit card. It's getting all I have is the
money I have when it's given to me that's out of control.
Any extra, yeah, I need. And I know that anyone listening
(32:23):
who knows about credit cards is like, that is not a reason to
get a credit card. But like, yeah, it is for me.
Yeah. Just like when I think about
like, even like, OK, if I were to go grocery shopping because
I'm so stressed about this paycheck, I would put it on my
credit card, right. So I'm not stressed and then
when I get my next paycheck I would pay it off right?
(32:43):
So I seem to understand. You do.
You're you're almost there. I'll, I'll, I mean, I can refer
you to Chase Sapphire. Is that a good one?
That's the best. One that's the best one because
I guess. What do I I need to think about
what points I want or no I need a rebuilding card because my a
rebuild like your credits in theshitter.
(33:05):
Yeah, might not be a good one for you then.
I'm looking for a rebuild card. I'm looking for a man in finance
and. Six times tall eyes.
I'm looking for tall eyes. I'm looking for like.
A cartoon characters with your tall eyes.
Tall man with eyes. I'm looking for a man with eyes.
Honestly, I'm looking for a tallman with eyes.
Yeah, a tall man with eyes. Just give me a call.
(33:26):
I'm call her. I'm sure we'll work out.
We're honestly, we could wrap itup right now.
We're at 33 minutes and I feel like this short episode, right?
Yeah, this was, I felt pretty good about it.
My nails are off and like in a bad way.
And this is another thing creditcard, I would have nails.
(33:47):
Although usually at the nail places they'll give you like a
$2.00 discount if you used cash.And I'm sick of that.
Stop. Stop telling me it's a discount
because it's not. Because then I have to pay your
ATM the $2.00. So let's just put it on my card.
Let's just call it what it is. And all all the nail salons now.
Well, at least the least ones I've been to recently.
(34:09):
I don't go that much this year, but like all the ones I've been
to. You Venmo your girl, so I'm
like, you're not catching me with this cash thing.
You can't trick me with this. Oh my God, my nails.
It's like, wait, did you see what got banned in the UK?
Everything. It was for nails.
Oh, really? They like immediately pulled
(34:29):
some sort of gel from all nail salons.
Is it gel XI don't know. I tried to look away because
she's really intense with the ribbon.
This happens around 8:00. Is it?
What time? Yeah, it's 822.
She's key time. She's pissed.
She's. Standing over the ribbon, she
will not look at us. She hates it seems to hate when
(34:51):
Mom works. Mommy's podcasting.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
