Ever found yourself laughing uncontrollably at a memory that only your sibling could fully appreciate? That's the kind of energy Meredith and I, Caroline, are bringing to this episode of Sister Shit! We're spilling the tea on everything from my quirky COVID symptoms to our shared obsession with the bizarre, like Justin Bieber's "Ghost" music video and Sam Smith's 'egg voice'. Not to mention, we've got a tale about a nail salon visit that went south and the emotional whirlwind of bingeing "One Day".
Who doesn't love a good night out story that ends with chanting your way to a Waffle House? Us Ralphio sisters certainly do, and we've got those kinds of stories in spades, including a 21st birthday bash that took a turn into 2000s music video heaven. From fishy-smelling pleather dresses to unforgettable encounters with drag queens, we're reliving our most toe-curling moments and proving that when we hit the town, it's always a night to remember.
But wait, there's more! Get ready to cringe and cackle as we dive into those embarrassing tales that are too good not to share. I'm talking drag queens promising a show and delivering with a thud, my own misguided confidence in my ability to parallel park, and the low-key chaos that seems to follow us wherever we go. So, pop in your earbuds and let's get this laughter fest started – because when it comes to sisterly shenanigans, you haven't heard anything yet!

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hello, welcome to Sister Shit.
I'm Meredith.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I am Caroline and it is Tuesday.
It's Tuesday.
We missed you guys.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
We left you guys hanging lastweek and I am very sorry, but I
was going.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
How are you doing, Caroline?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
So much better.
I was on death's door for likefive days.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Uh-oh.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
It was rough.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
How has COVID this go round More your symptoms?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Really, it started with a headache and ended with a
headache, like that's the thingthat I started with, like a
really bad headache.
And the next day I woke up likenot great, did you lose your
taste?
No, didn't lose my taste,didn't lose my smell, that's
good Jay lost his smell.
It's, you know it, just it.
(00:55):
Who freaking knows Someonecould tell me like it's kind of
like pregnancy, where it's likeyeah.
Oh, this super weird thing ishappening to me.
What's going on?
And then healthcareprofessionals are like oh, it's
COVID.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, yeah.
Um.
Well, I'm glad you're feelingbetter.
I've missed you and while youwere away I had so many
situations I mean, this happensall the time but, caroline, I
realized how often I refer toyou in settings that you're not
there, like if something willcome up and I'll be like oh my
(01:32):
gosh, my sister loves that andI'm realizing for the first time
that if you're not, if youdon't know you, like if you, if
my person, the person I'mtalking to, doesn't know you,
they're probably like cool, cool, your sister, why do I give a
crap?
what your sister likes, and I'malways talking about you like a
weirdo.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I kind of do the same thing.
That's why, okay, meredith andI have to check ourselves often
of like are we know that we'recodependent?
But we have to check ourselveslike are other people going to
find the situation codependent?
Because we have this bad habitof like someone asking us to
hang out and then us invitingthe sister without, like, I
(02:14):
guess, checking with the hostfirst.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, or it's just like assumed.
I'm like if you're not going toliterally, if you want to be my
lover, you got to get with mysister.
Like, if people don't want tohang out with you, I'm like
we're probably not going to bethat close.
I know, I feel the same way.
I like not good.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I'll meet a group of friends and hang out with them
twice, and then I'm like so mysister.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It's so stupid.
My favorite part, my favoritething that happened was when you
were in grad school and youwere the oldest one in your
class, so you were old hangingout with, like, your grad.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I was like 26 hanging out with undergrad, 21 year
olds yes.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And then I'm four years older than you, basically,
and like in like two monthsinto hanging out with them,
you're like, can my, do y'allwant to go to my sister's house?
And I'm like a full decade plusolder than all of them, but you
know, friendships blossom, andthey came, and we all.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
that is how bloated was formed.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Only one of one out of three people do not want to
be friends with the sister, andthat's a pretty good statistic.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, that's a great statistic.
I moved away and you kepthanging out with them.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I did so clearly it worked.
I know we missed you.
It was sad.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I know Well, and then , like my yoga friends, yes, I
was like.
I hung out with them a coupleof times Then was like, can I
invite my sister?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, well, and then I just started taking yoga class
with you.
With me, whoever's knocking.
What do you want?
Not right now?
Oh my gosh, I'll help you inlike 30 minutes.
(04:08):
Okay, another thing thathappened while you were wait.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Okay, I want to know what I liked.
What were you like?
Oh, I have no idea.
It happens literally all thetime.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
And I'll be like oh my gosh, my sister.
The other day I said this andpeople are like cool, like I
don't care.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
And like I am very much so like like Meredith is
very cool where we live and I Ithink you're very cool and I am
not cool, I think that's part ofthe problem is that we both
think each other.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Everyone wants to hang out with the other one
because you know I, oh okay.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I was going to say I don't assume that the cool
people you're hanging out withwant to hang out with me at all
and I just I'm like imaginingwho you're telling my sister
loves that.
They're probably like okay.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
But the same thing happens with y'all.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
You're friends, oh you know anyways what was the
other thing.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
But I don't know having, honestly, that's like
the one of the best things abouthaving a sister is, it's like a
firewall, yeah, Friendship.
It's like if you can, if youget the pass from my sister,
we're good for life.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I know, I know I mean all of my like solid ride or
die.
Best friends you could call onthe phone and chat with I know.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I actually just asked Alexa last week if I could.
That's it for her, so we canstay in the troubles she's like
please stop texting me, Okay?
So the other thing thathappened when you were away I
got my nails done at the placeyou told me to go.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Wait, which one season or city nails?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The one in Ermo.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
They're both in Ermo.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
No one of them was on Rosewood, I think it was city
nails too, I don't know.
It was on Lake Murray Boulevard.
Shout out to what I've heard solong, this was got my nails
done.
They kind of messed them up.
I got a gel, I got a powdered,I got a dip French tip and it.
Then the color didn't comethrough on the French tip and so
(06:19):
she did a gel on top and it'speeling already.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
That's not what I was going to talk about.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Okay, what I was going to talk about is, while I
was getting my nails done, theyhad music videos playing, which
I'm so thankful for, because thelast time I got my nails done,
they were playing.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
It was like the most gruesome scene of a war movie.
It was your birthday.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It was my birthday, so I was just very thankful to
see some music videos.
I need to know.
There are two music videos thatI watched that I was like I
have to talk to Caroline aboutthis.
Have you ever seen the ghostvideo, justin Bieber's ghost
video?
Yes, I love it.
I would die in Keaton.
Okay, grandma, you've seen it.
(07:02):
No, I think it's his mom.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I think it's his grandma.
That is not his mom.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I think his dad dies and then he's a kid.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I think it's his grandma and his grandpa.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Why do you think that ?
Because?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
they're old, I either way.
I think, that the song is aboutone of his grandmas or his
grandpa or something.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I assume it's just like a lot of physical touch
between Justin and Diane.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
And he's buying her Gucci and stuff.
I'm like dang.
I know my grandson gets famous.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
There's like a hug from behind, part.
Oh, I don't remember that.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I do love that song.
Though I love that song, Ithink of Diane Keaton every time
I hear it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I will too now, and I just have questions for Diane,
because did they already knoweach other?
Like who knew Diane?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Who got her on board?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I don't know, were they already friends?
If so, so cute.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Great Love.
I love an unusual friendship.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Does she owe a favor to the director?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But why would Justin beaver?
Why would Justin beaver need afavor?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I mean, like the director, maybe I'm like, I'm
just like who Like?
Who got Diane on board?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I don't know, maybe they're already friends.
Maybe they're already friends.
But then if they're alreadyfriends, it's weird because
there was a lot of physicaltouch I just have, I just.
And also by the end of themusic video she's already going
on a date with somebody else.
Like she gets over what's hisname so early.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I know.
I mean, I think it's time, Ithink time is supposed to be.
It's not like.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I think a lot of time passes.
I just have notes.
I have notes and I havequestions.
You always have notes, I suredo, but I didn't hate it.
I was just like Diane was notexpecting you here.
But here we go, buckle up.
Okay, next one, sam Smith.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Egg voice.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yes, yeah, jay can't stand them because he sounds
like he swallowed an egg.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So he's not in the music video, but I knew who it
was by the egg voice.
I always think of Jay.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I love Sam Smith.
Jay has not liked him from thevery beginning, I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I know so little about him, but I know nothing
other than his songs.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Jay doesn't know anything either, other than he
sounds like he has an egg in histhroat.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't know if he has a voice.
Okay, anyway, this music videocould not tell you what song it
is.
Let me look it up real quick,but there is a really, really
bad.
Okay, oh, sorry, I can't dothings at the same time.
Fire on Fire, from WatershipDown by Sam Smith.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Oh, Watership Down is a weird movie from back in the
day.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yes, from back in the day and Netflix did a remake
like two or three years ago.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yes, it was originally animated and it was
super freaking, weird Okay it'sanimated again in this one.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The music video is just okay.
This is making so much moresense.
It's just footage from themovie, probably I'm assuming,
because it's like very choppy,but it's like bad.
Bad CGI animation, like so bad.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And it's bunnies and stuff, and it's bunnies and
they're like in turmoil.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And then there's, like, their emotional.
I think that that's the wholemovie is bunnies and turmoil.
Okay, it makes more sense thatthis is a song for a movie, but
yeah me.
So the desks at the or like thelittle counters where you're
getting your nails done werelike in an L shape.
So, like me, I was at one endof the L, another girl was
getting her nails done at theother end of the L and we were
(11:04):
both watching the Sam Smith Fireon Fire video and I wanted so
badly to make eye contact withher to be like are you seeing
this?
This is so freaking weird.
And we never made eye contact.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
People at nail salons don't like to shit Jeff.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
No, and I don't really want to chit chat.
I was torn too, cause I didn'twant to start up a whole
conversation, but I wanted to belike what is this?
What's happening?
I needed you there, caroline.
I just needed you so much thisweek.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I also like the time that you got sick and you're
like I'm so glad I'm not sickanymore.
It was so boring.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That's how I feel, I know it is the most boring
you'll ever.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I caught up on a lot of shows.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Great.
Have you watched one day?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
No, I refuse to watch it.
I'm not going to watch it.
No, I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I knew nothing about it.
I knew nothing, but I realized,like you know, five minutes in,
that it's the guy from.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
How have you not seen everyone talking about this?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I've missed it completely.
I haven't seen a single persontalking about it.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I've seen so many people talk about it and be like
I am unwell.
I will be unwell for days.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I'm sobbing box of tissues.
He came in the room because heheard me crying and he like came
in and was like you, good.
And I was like like OK, if Ihad to compare the sadness, I've
only cried this hard in thenotebook.
And then the octopus.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Oh, hell, no, Both of those movies went my heart into
two.
What's it called?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Octopus teacher, my octopus teacher.
Combine those two and theninvest, like you're investing 14
hours into this story becauseit's 14 like hour long episodes
or maybe oh my gosh so long.
(12:59):
And you are like on board.
You're like this is long, it'sa little slow.
It's beautiful.
I love the characters but likebuckle up or do it.
It was like my bathtub show forthe two weeks.
Like cozy, will they, won'tthey, and I so anyway, I was
telling he's like.
I waved him in, he was likegoing to leave me and I was like
I need you to come here to thebed and he was like patting me
(13:23):
on the back.
Oh my God, like it gets sad.
And then there's two moreepisodes left.
So you're just like wallowingand sadness or maybe it's one
more, but there's like a whole,more like a whole.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Does it end?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
happy, heartbreaking.
It doesn't end sad, but we'regoing to talk about this off the
mic because I need you to tellme what happened.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, I'm not, I refuse, I can't.
I've gotten you know I cry incooking shows.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
So I cannot watch this.
I can't recommend it to anyonebecause I mean it's beautiful, I
really enjoyed it, but I cannotrecommend it to anyone, knowing
what happens now.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Like, yeah, I watched the program and cried the whole
last episode.
Last 30 minutes of that episodehad me crying, so I cannot
watch this.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I'm a little scared though, dude the wilderness.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
One was like tough to watch, but this one looks
harder to watch.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
It's so good.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
OK, number one right now it's.
It is so like I.
Is it like redeeming in any way?

Not everyone.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
But, like you know, it was, you know, just a little
night out, and I'm telling youguys, we still talk about that
night out.
It ended at the Waffle House.
I was dancing on chairs.
I mean, there's video footagethat should never be leaked.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yeah, I mean, I was wearing it on flattering top.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I did not give a shit .
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I was having a grand video that out for the cemented
in my brain.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
And literally that we now chant Waffle House.
Waffle House because Jay wasthe DD and he was like I'm not
going to Waffle House and wejust chanted it until he pulled
into.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Our other sister was so Self-conscious because she's
like you guys, I was okay.
Like we're going in here, we'vehad so much to drink, like, is
it okay?
I've never gone to Waffle Housedrunk and we were like and we
were like ever.
Yeah, I used to go there likecome here, like study in college
.
We were like you study, didyour papers not stick to the
(18:22):
table?
I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh my gosh.
So we, we're, we're pretty fun.
Um, I'm like it kind of.
I'm trying to think it startedwhen I turned 21.
Mary took me out to this barthat in five points where we
lived that used to play early2000 music videos and you could
(18:47):
like dance on tables and stuffand like that was.
I mean, we were surrounded by Atthat time.
We were the same ages then, butwe just like, kept going.
Wait until Like.
At that time you took me outfor my 21st birthday.
We were the same age aseveryone in there.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
But then, like, as you kept going, we kept we
realized that we got Is getswide real quick, real quick
mayor.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
They like they pull you on the bar to take a shot
for your birthday.
And Meredith got up and didlike a little ballet Dance on
the bar and took this epic shotand everyone was like cheering
and the bartender was like howold are you, girlfriend?
And she was like 24 andeveryone was like it's like
definitely 21 year old bar.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
What's sad is when you just said 24.
I thought, no, no, no, I justturned 24.
I was younger.
No, that was a decade ago.
That's sad, but yeah, man, IKnow I think we are pretty fun
to go with.
Okay, my, the time I alwaysthink about us like that's like
a classic with us, is I.
(19:54):
We went out for one of ourfriends, actually the friend who
came on and did the drama kiddrama episode.
It was her best party.
We went out in Buford, whichlike is If you're from Buford,
you know what that's like, andif you're not, it's small town
small town.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I'm gonna run into mr Verano at the old Hennig ways
Verano.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Be, Spanish teacher for my school?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Oh no, okay, so I, that was just, I was kidding
about that.
I've never run into him.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Was everyone wearing black and she was wearing white
Was okay, so I wear.
Wore this dress I got from TJmax.
It was like black pleather andit had everyone all night was
making fun of me because it hada certain aroma of like fish.
It was just straight-up flatlike burnt plastic.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
So this is what a year Marith got the more light,
fishy and and like it was thedress, it was not Meredith.
Nobody that she's stinky, itwas it smelled so bad.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
So, anyway, that was just half.
That's just a side note.
That was happening, but I waswearing this pleather dress and
I think this is the boys lovesthe leather dress boys love.
And it wasn't, it was just, Imean, I would wear it to work.
It was just like it had likelittle short sleeves, it was
like past fingertip length, alittle like shallow v-neck.
It was a cute little dress oversome ballet flats, but the
(21:26):
pleather man Just calls out acertain crowd and oh, it does.
So anyway, all everyone wasinside.
I was outside this like thisman who, in my memory, is like
seven foot tall.
He was talking to me and he WasI don't even remember what he
was oh, he was just like very,very poorly Trying to pick me up
(21:49):
and he was like, what did hesay again?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
He said he goes, I love your makeup.
And you're like, oh my gosh,thank you.
And he was like I'd love tohave it all of my face, oh.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, that was it, that was the line, and at that
point, caroline, I think thiswas, I think the reason this is
so cemented it in my brain isbecause it was the moment that I
was like Caroline is feisty,like she is, is like fearless
when we go out only, only whenI'm, only when I'm going out,
(22:22):
yeah, otherwise, you're pretty.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I can't even like return clothes at a store.
I get like too anxious about ityeah okay, but give me a
cocktail.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
And in that moment she was like, oh, absolutely not
girls, we're going and like arounded up the whole Group did a
whole clap and like, like aclap and a little like.
Little finger switch and then,like we were off and the size
difference between you two wasalso so funny, because he was so
(22:56):
huge and you just like came outof nowhere and we're like we
are getting you out of thesituation immediately and like
everyone followed you likelittle ducklings.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
I don't know how I do it.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I don't either.
It's a great skill.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
You know, it's like this persona that my family has
like deemed drunk Caroline.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
And it's Caroline Ralphio.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Oh yes.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Caroline Ralphio and I don't.
How would you?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
describe Caroline Ralphio.
Like John Ralphio from Parksand Rec, but you but like a
little less psychotic, a littlemore fun yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, more fun to be around, but same energy, oh my
gosh.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Same energy.
It's intense, but like ifyou're on the same level, you're
going to have a blast.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Um, yeah, we like went out one time for the
whenever I was with our, myyoung friends when I was back in
college and forcing them tolike Meredith, we went out one
night and it was that was likeour going out phase, where we
were like go wing out.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, we were living like curiously, but also in real
life.
We're like reliving our collegedays with the kids who are
actually in college, which isreally actually so pathetic now
that I'm saying it out loud.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
But we like liked them.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
But it was good friends and that was like what
they wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
So we're like, okay, it was fun, we had like babies
at home and our sweet, sweethusbands were like, yeah, go do
y'all's thing, it's fine.
So we went out one night withour friend Ben, who we always
talk about, and we ended up atthis at the gay bar, as we
always ended up at this, oh yeah, I pledge I will never go back.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And then we always did.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
But the night that we showed up it was pouring rain.
We'd walked so far.
Meredith's foot was likegushing blood.
I had wet my pants because wehad to run and I don't run very
well without wetting my pants.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Oh, and it wasn't because you were over served at
that point, it was literally nono that.
That was like early in thenight and you just had a baby.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yes, I wet my pants If I sneezed cough run, jump on
a trampoline.
Laugh.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
And I was like passed over it so quickly.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I was like I need to clarify that this is just like
yes, that's just what happens,and so we show up looking like
wet dogs to the gay bar and, toour surprise, I have blood in my
belly flats.
Yes, we have pictures, but toour surprise, there was no one
really there and we had a stageall to ourselves.
Oh, I forgot about that.
(25:43):
And we got up on that damnstage and acted like we were the
performance that they hadbooked for the evening.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I totally forgot about that.
That was so fun.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And there was a Christmas tree and Ben was
grinding all over the Christmastree.
That was so fun.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Also, I feel like I need to clarify that the reason
I never want to go back to thisgay bar in particular is because
it's nasty.
It's so gross and dirty inthere and they always have a
cover.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
It's very sticky.
They always have a cover.
Yeah, there's always a cover,oh sticky.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
One time a male stripper asked me if I wanted a
lap dance and then told me thatI could be a stripper if I lost
some weight.
So I just always have I don'tremember, I didn't know, I know
thank you to lap dance and hewas like kept talking to me and
then eventually told me that andI was like cool, here I am.
Yeah, this is where this is me.
This is real.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
You could be a stripper, just as you are
Meredith.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Thank you, caroline, I think so too.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Okay, but that's also the night.
I know we need to wrap thingsup, but that is the night where
we met.
What was his name?
Houston, Hollywood, whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Something.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Houston, something Houston, or she.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I forgot about this, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
And she was in full drag and she was like no one was
there, obviously, and she waslike ready to show someone her
tricks and we were a willingaudience.
And she got up on a table andwas like I can jump down and
land in a split.
(27:15):
And we were like what, and shewas like eager to show us yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
And we were eager to see.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
We were eager to see and it hit the noise.
It sounded like a personjumping out of a window, like
the noise that you just younever want to hear a body hit
cement.
Okay, I think I'm wrong.
That was the noise that weheard, but in split form, like
she was in a full.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
She recovered so smoothly, but like things were
not okay, she popped right backup.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
She did, and you could tell there was pain behind
the eyes.
There was pain behind the eyes.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
We have to find that video.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
We have the video, we'll post it.
I have got it somewhere, Ben'sgot it somewhere.
But yeah, we have, we have somehangover, wasn't that it?
Yes, I think it was.
That was her name.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Okay, and she got all of our phone numbers and she
texted us for months every time,every time she had a
performance, she would text usNot in a group text like
individually, and we'd all belike did you get Houston's texts
?
She was good, though I feellike she was too good for
Columbia.
Maybe she moved on.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I know maybe she did.
Oh man, we've had some funtimes there are, so I had like
so many in my head Wait, tellone more, We've got.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
we've got a couple more minutes left.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I was either gonna talk.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I was gonna either talk about the time that, the
same night that you parallelparked, that was the same night
as Katie's bachelor party, orthe night that we went out.
Okay, so something about me isthat I'm really like.
I don't get sick from drinking.
(28:59):
Often I'm not.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I'm not a huge lush.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I just like love to go out and dance and have a good
time.
I truly only overindulged maybeone to two times A year maybe,
but when I do I'm really.
I always keep my composure.
I've never like lost itanywhere.
I literally told Meredith onetime or it was a car full of
(29:25):
people I said, excuse me, I'mgonna throw up in about three
minutes if you could findsomewhere to pull over.
And literally within like threeminutes I threw up, I did my
business, I got in the car and Iwent home.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It was so accurate.
I mean it was like exactlythree minutes.
Yeah man, oh man, oh man funtimes.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Okay, you tell the parallel parking story and then
we'll close it out.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Oh, it's just embarrassing.
So I learned how to parallelpark in a suburban.
I feel like I used to pridemyself on my parallel parking
skills because they were prettydecent.
And so we went out.
I was the DD.
I was trying to drive.
I was like, ooh, I'm gonnaparallel park in this spot and I
was like flexing so hard, LikeI was like I'm the best parallel
(30:12):
parker, Like watch this, Like Iwas setting them up for like
something incredible and I didlike-.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Which, like parallel parking, is never that
incredible.
But the way that you weretalking about it, we were like
ready to be impressed.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I've always like had it on, like my skill set list,
like I just I felt like it waslike something I need to like
brag about and I did like a 20point turn and finally my she's
not kidding, she's not kidding.
Had to get out of the back seatand park like in park.
For me, and I've never lived itdown, it was so bad.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
And I did that again I think like people watched.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
You know what?
I did it again this weekend.
I was so embarrassed.
Keith was in the passenger seatand he was so kind to not say
anything?
I don't think you can parallelpark.
I can't.
It's a one, it's every time Ido it.
It's like a one in 20 chance,Like it's every once, every like
20 times.
I get it perfectly and I don'tthink that makes me a good
parallel parker.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
No cause I mean I've got a smaller car than you, but
mine's probably like a one inthree to four chance.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I'm pretty bad, I think.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I've only had to like drive away maybe twice.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I've done it Drive away most times and that's been
a really hard pill for me toswallow, cause it's been kind of
part of my secret, my quietidentity, and it's not I need to
find a new one.
It's just nothing in thedriving realm is part of my
identity.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
No, and I know that you're self conscious of that.
I'm a little self consciousCause our family kind of shits
on her for it.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
But I've never got a speeding ticket and I've never
been in a wreck.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
There's no record of being a bad driver.
Oh my gosh, I've had so manyspeeding tickets, but I am kind
of a bad driver, but you're notlike reckless.
You're just like.
You are equivalent to like anolder woman.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, you just are a little bit ahead in the class.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, like you'll be going like 62 on the interstate
and not really like notice untillike Not 62.
Okay, 66.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
No, like 70.
You think I don't know.
I mean I don't I have more totalk about I just I go so fast,
so like no when I'm not with apassenger, I'm distracted by
talking.
If I'm in a conversation, I goreal slow.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, so all my friends who've been on the
interstate with me.
I'm so sorry it has taken us anadditional 30 minutes to get
there.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Well, and you appear like you take it after mom.
I guess because remember in thesixth grade the guy spread the
rumor about how my mom was a baddriver and I cried so like yeah
, that's gonna be mean, it'sjust runs in the family it does.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
And mom's the one that always shits on me for
being a bad driver.
Hot call on the kettle black.
All right, we have to go, butthanks so much for tuning in.
And we will see you nextTuesday, next Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Yeah.
Hello, welcome to Sister Shit.
I'm Meredith.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I am Caroline and it is Tuesday.
It's Tuesday.
We missed you guys.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
We left you guys hanging lastweek and I am very sorry, but I
was going.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
How are you doing, Caroline?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
So much better.
I was on death's door for likefive days.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Uh-oh.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
It was rough.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
How has COVID this go round More your symptoms?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Really, it started with a headache and ended with a
headache, like that's the thingthat I started with, like a
really bad headache.
And the next day I woke up likenot great, did you lose your
taste?
No, didn't lose my taste,didn't lose my smell, that's
good Jay lost his smell.
It's, you know it, just it.
(00:55):
Who freaking knows Someonecould tell me like it's kind of
like pregnancy, where it's likeyeah.
Oh, this super weird thing ishappening to me.
What's going on?
And then healthcareprofessionals are like oh, it's
COVID.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, yeah.
Um.
Well, I'm glad you're feelingbetter.
I've missed you and while youwere away I had so many
situations I mean, this happensall the time but, caroline, I
realized how often I refer toyou in settings that you're not
there, like if something willcome up and I'll be like oh my
(01:32):
gosh, my sister loves that andI'm realizing for the first time
that if you're not, if youdon't know you, like if you, if
my person, the person I'mtalking to, doesn't know you,
they're probably like cool, cool, your sister, why do I give a
crap?
what your sister likes, and I'malways talking about you like a
weirdo.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I kind of do the same thing.
That's why, okay, meredith andI have to check ourselves often
of like are we know that we'recodependent?
But we have to check ourselveslike are other people going to
find the situation codependent?
Because we have this bad habitof like someone asking us to
hang out and then us invitingthe sister without, like, I
(02:14):
guess, checking with the hostfirst.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, or it's just like assumed.
I'm like if you're not going toliterally, if you want to be my
lover, you got to get with mysister.
Like, if people don't want tohang out with you, I'm like
we're probably not going to bethat close.
I know, I feel the same way.
I like not good.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I'll meet a group of friends and hang out with them
twice, and then I'm like so mysister.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It's so stupid.
My favorite part, my favoritething that happened was when you
were in grad school and youwere the oldest one in your
class, so you were old hangingout with, like, your grad.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I was like 26 hanging out with undergrad, 21 year
olds yes.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And then I'm four years older than you, basically,
and like in like two monthsinto hanging out with them,
you're like, can my, do y'allwant to go to my sister's house?
And I'm like a full decade plusolder than all of them, but you
know, friendships blossom, andthey came, and we all.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
that is how bloated was formed.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Only one of one out of three people do not want to
be friends with the sister, andthat's a pretty good statistic.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, that's a great statistic.
I moved away and you kepthanging out with them.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I did so clearly it worked.
I know we missed you.
It was sad.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I know Well, and then , like my yoga friends, yes, I
was like.
I hung out with them a coupleof times Then was like, can I
invite my sister?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, well, and then I just started taking yoga class
with you.
With me, whoever's knocking.
What do you want?
Not right now?
Oh my gosh, I'll help you inlike 30 minutes.
(04:08):
Okay, another thing thathappened while you were wait.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Okay, I want to know what I liked.
What were you like?
Oh, I have no idea.
It happens literally all thetime.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
And I'll be like oh my gosh, my sister.
The other day I said this andpeople are like cool, like I
don't care.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
And like I am very much so like like Meredith is
very cool where we live and I Ithink you're very cool and I am
not cool, I think that's part ofthe problem is that we both
think each other.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Everyone wants to hang out with the other one
because you know I, oh okay.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I was going to say I don't assume that the cool
people you're hanging out withwant to hang out with me at all
and I just I'm like imaginingwho you're telling my sister
loves that.
They're probably like okay.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
But the same thing happens with y'all.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
You're friends, oh you know anyways what was the
other thing.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
But I don't know having, honestly, that's like
the one of the best things abouthaving a sister is, it's like a
firewall, yeah, Friendship.
It's like if you can, if youget the pass from my sister,
we're good for life.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I know, I know I mean all of my like solid ride or
die.
Best friends you could call onthe phone and chat with I know.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I actually just asked Alexa last week if I could.
That's it for her, so we canstay in the troubles she's like
please stop texting me, Okay?
So the other thing thathappened when you were away I
got my nails done at the placeyou told me to go.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Wait, which one season or city nails?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The one in Ermo.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
They're both in Ermo.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
No one of them was on Rosewood, I think it was city
nails too, I don't know.
It was on Lake Murray Boulevard.
Shout out to what I've heard solong, this was got my nails
done.
They kind of messed them up.
I got a gel, I got a powdered,I got a dip French tip and it.
Then the color didn't comethrough on the French tip and so
(06:19):
she did a gel on top and it'speeling already.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
That's not what I was going to talk about.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Okay, what I was going to talk about is, while I
was getting my nails done, theyhad music videos playing, which
I'm so thankful for, because thelast time I got my nails done,
they were playing.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
It was like the most gruesome scene of a war movie.
It was your birthday.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It was my birthday, so I was just very thankful to
see some music videos.
I need to know.
There are two music videos thatI watched that I was like I
have to talk to Caroline aboutthis.
Have you ever seen the ghostvideo, justin Bieber's ghost
video?
Yes, I love it.
I would die in Keaton.
Okay, grandma, you've seen it.
(07:02):
No, I think it's his mom.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I think it's his grandma.
That is not his mom.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I think his dad dies and then he's a kid.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I think it's his grandma and his grandpa.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Why do you think that ?
Because?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
they're old, I either way.
I think, that the song is aboutone of his grandmas or his
grandpa or something.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I assume it's just like a lot of physical touch
between Justin and Diane.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
And he's buying her Gucci and stuff.
I'm like dang.
I know my grandson gets famous.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
There's like a hug from behind, part.
Oh, I don't remember that.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I do love that song.
Though I love that song, Ithink of Diane Keaton every time
I hear it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I will too now, and I just have questions for Diane,
because did they already knoweach other?
Like who knew Diane?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Who got her on board?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I don't know, were they already friends?
If so, so cute.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Great Love.
I love an unusual friendship.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Does she owe a favor to the director?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But why would Justin beaver?
Why would Justin beaver need afavor?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I mean, like the director, maybe I'm like, I'm
just like who Like?
Who got Diane on board?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I don't know, maybe they're already friends.
Maybe they're already friends.
But then if they're alreadyfriends, it's weird because
there was a lot of physicaltouch I just have, I just.
And also by the end of themusic video she's already going
on a date with somebody else.
Like she gets over what's hisname so early.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I know.
I mean, I think it's time, Ithink time is supposed to be.
It's not like.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I think a lot of time passes.
I just have notes.
I have notes and I havequestions.
You always have notes, I suredo, but I didn't hate it.
I was just like Diane was notexpecting you here.
But here we go, buckle up.
Okay, next one, sam Smith.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Egg voice.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yes, yeah, jay can't stand them because he sounds
like he swallowed an egg.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So he's not in the music video, but I knew who it
was by the egg voice.
I always think of Jay.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I love Sam Smith.
Jay has not liked him from thevery beginning, I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I know so little about him, but I know nothing
other than his songs.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Jay doesn't know anything either, other than he
sounds like he has an egg in histhroat.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't know if he has a voice.
Okay, anyway, this music videocould not tell you what song it
is.
Let me look it up real quick,but there is a really, really
bad.
Okay, oh, sorry, I can't dothings at the same time.
Fire on Fire, from WatershipDown by Sam Smith.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Oh, Watership Down is a weird movie from back in the
day.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yes, from back in the day and Netflix did a remake
like two or three years ago.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yes, it was originally animated and it was
super freaking, weird Okay it'sanimated again in this one.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The music video is just okay.
This is making so much moresense.
It's just footage from themovie, probably I'm assuming,
because it's like very choppy,but it's like bad.
Bad CGI animation, like so bad.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And it's bunnies and stuff, and it's bunnies and
they're like in turmoil.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And then there's, like, their emotional.
I think that that's the wholemovie is bunnies and turmoil.
Okay, it makes more sense thatthis is a song for a movie, but
yeah me.
So the desks at the or like thelittle counters where you're
getting your nails done werelike in an L shape.
So, like me, I was at one endof the L, another girl was
getting her nails done at theother end of the L and we were
(11:04):
both watching the Sam Smith Fireon Fire video and I wanted so
badly to make eye contact withher to be like are you seeing
this?
This is so freaking weird.
And we never made eye contact.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
People at nail salons don't like to shit Jeff.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
No, and I don't really want to chit chat.
I was torn too, cause I didn'twant to start up a whole
conversation, but I wanted to belike what is this?
What's happening?
I needed you there, caroline.
I just needed you so much thisweek.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I also like the time that you got sick and you're
like I'm so glad I'm not sickanymore.
It was so boring.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That's how I feel, I know it is the most boring
you'll ever.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I caught up on a lot of shows.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Great.
Have you watched one day?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
No, I refuse to watch it.
I'm not going to watch it.
No, I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I knew nothing about it.
I knew nothing, but I realized,like you know, five minutes in,
that it's the guy from.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
How have you not seen everyone talking about this?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I've missed it completely.
I haven't seen a single persontalking about it.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I've seen so many people talk about it and be like
I am unwell.
I will be unwell for days.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I'm sobbing box of tissues.
He came in the room because heheard me crying and he like came
in and was like you, good.
And I was like like OK, if Ihad to compare the sadness, I've
only cried this hard in thenotebook.
And then the octopus.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Oh, hell, no, Both of those movies went my heart into
two.
What's it called?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Octopus teacher, my octopus teacher.
Combine those two and theninvest, like you're investing 14
hours into this story becauseit's 14 like hour long episodes
or maybe oh my gosh so long.
(12:59):
And you are like on board.
You're like this is long, it'sa little slow.
It's beautiful.
I love the characters but likebuckle up or do it.

our family out.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Remember that to walk the Waffle House night.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yes, we took our family out and everyone was like
half on board.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Not everyone.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
But, like you know, it was, you know, just a little
night out, and I'm telling youguys, we still talk about that
night out.
It ended at the Waffle House.
I was dancing on chairs.
I mean, there's video footagethat should never be leaked.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yeah, I mean, I was wearing it on flattering top.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I did not give a shit .
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I was having a grand video that out for the cemented
in my brain.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
And literally that we now chant Waffle House.
Waffle House because Jay wasthe DD and he was like I'm not
going to Waffle House and wejust chanted it until he pulled
into.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Our other sister was so Self-conscious because she's
like you guys, I was okay.
Like we're going in here, we'vehad so much to drink, like, is
it okay?
I've never gone to Waffle Housedrunk and we were like and we
were like ever.
Yeah, I used to go there likecome here, like study in college
.
We were like you study, didyour papers not stick to the
(18:22):
table?
I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh my gosh.
So we, we're, we're pretty fun.
Um, I'm like it kind of.
I'm trying to think it startedwhen I turned 21.
Mary took me out to this barthat in five points where we
lived that used to play early2000 music videos and you could
(18:47):
like dance on tables and stuffand like that was.
I mean, we were surrounded by Atthat time.
We were the same ages then, butwe just like, kept going.
Wait until Like.
At that time you took me outfor my 21st birthday.
We were the same age aseveryone in there.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
But then, like, as you kept going, we kept we
realized that we got Is getswide real quick, real quick
mayor.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
They like they pull you on the bar to take a shot
for your birthday.
And Meredith got up and didlike a little ballet Dance on
the bar and took this epic shotand everyone was like cheering
and the bartender was like howold are you, girlfriend?
And she was like 24 andeveryone was like it's like
definitely 21 year old bar.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
What's sad is when you just said 24.
I thought, no, no, no, I justturned 24.
I was younger.
No, that was a decade ago.
That's sad, but yeah, man, IKnow I think we are pretty fun
to go with.
Okay, my, the time I alwaysthink about us like that's like
a classic with us, is I.
(19:54):
We went out for one of ourfriends, actually the friend who
came on and did the drama kiddrama episode.
It was her best party.
We went out in Buford, whichlike is If you're from Buford,
you know what that's like, andif you're not, it's small town
small town.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I'm gonna run into mr Verano at the old Hennig ways
Verano.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Be, Spanish teacher for my school?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Oh no, okay, so I, that was just, I was kidding
about that.
I've never run into him.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Was everyone wearing black and she was wearing white
Was okay, so I wear.
Wore this dress I got from TJmax.
It was like black pleather andit had everyone all night was
making fun of me because it hada certain aroma of like fish.
It was just straight-up flatlike burnt plastic.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
So this is what a year Marith got the more light,
fishy and and like it was thedress, it was not Meredith.
Nobody that she's stinky, itwas it smelled so bad.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
So, anyway, that was just half.
That's just a side note.
That was happening, but I waswearing this pleather dress and
I think this is the boys lovesthe leather dress boys love.
And it wasn't, it was just, Imean, I would wear it to work.
It was just like it had likelittle short sleeves, it was
like past fingertip length, alittle like shallow v-neck.
It was a cute little dress oversome ballet flats, but the
(21:26):
pleather man Just calls out acertain crowd and oh, it does.
So anyway, all everyone wasinside.
I was outside this like thisman who, in my memory, is like
seven foot tall.
He was talking to me and he WasI don't even remember what he
was oh, he was just like very,very poorly Trying to pick me up
(21:49):
and he was like, what did hesay again?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
He said he goes, I love your makeup.
And you're like, oh my gosh,thank you.
And he was like I'd love tohave it all of my face, oh.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, that was it, that was the line, and at that
point, caroline, I think thiswas, I think the reason this is
so cemented it in my brain isbecause it was the moment that I
was like Caroline is feisty,like she is, is like fearless
when we go out only, only whenI'm, only when I'm going out,
(22:22):
yeah, otherwise, you're pretty.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I can't even like return clothes at a store.
I get like too anxious about ityeah okay, but give me a
cocktail.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
And in that moment she was like, oh, absolutely not
girls, we're going and like arounded up the whole Group did a
whole clap and like, like aclap and a little like.
Little finger switch and then,like we were off and the size
difference between you two wasalso so funny, because he was so
(22:56):
huge and you just like came outof nowhere and we're like we
are getting you out of thesituation immediately and like
everyone followed you likelittle ducklings.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
I don't know how I do it.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I don't either.
It's a great skill.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
You know, it's like this persona that my family has
like deemed drunk Caroline.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
And it's Caroline Ralphio.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Oh yes.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Caroline Ralphio and I don't.
How would you?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
describe Caroline Ralphio.
Like John Ralphio from Parksand Rec, but you but like a
little less psychotic, a littlemore fun yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, more fun to be around, but same energy, oh my
gosh.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Same energy.
It's intense, but like ifyou're on the same level, you're
going to have a blast.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Um, yeah, we like went out one time for the
whenever I was with our, myyoung friends when I was back in
college and forcing them tolike Meredith, we went out one
night and it was that was likeour going out phase, where we
were like go wing out.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, we were living like curiously, but also in real
life.
We're like reliving our collegedays with the kids who are
actually in college, which isreally actually so pathetic now
that I'm saying it out loud.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
But we like liked them.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
But it was good friends and that was like what
they wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
So we're like, okay, it was fun, we had like babies
at home and our sweet, sweethusbands were like, yeah, go do
y'all's thing, it's fine.
So we went out one night withour friend Ben, who we always
talk about, and we ended up atthis at the gay bar, as we
always ended up at this, oh yeah, I pledge I will never go back.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And then we always did.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
But the night that we showed up it was pouring rain.
We'd walked so far.
Meredith's foot was likegushing blood.
I had wet my pants because wehad to run and I don't run very
well without wetting my pants.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Oh, and it wasn't because you were over served at
that point, it was literally nono that.
That was like early in thenight and you just had a baby.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yes, I wet my pants If I sneezed cough run, jump on
a trampoline.
Laugh.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
And I was like passed over it so quickly.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I was like I need to clarify that this is just like
yes, that's just what happens,and so we show up looking like
wet dogs to the gay bar and, toour surprise, I have blood in my
belly flats.
Yes, we have pictures, but toour surprise, there was no one
really there and we had a stageall to ourselves.
Oh, I forgot about that.
(25:43):
And we got up on that damnstage and acted like we were the
performance that they hadbooked for the evening.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I totally forgot about that.
That was so fun.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And there was a Christmas tree and Ben was
grinding all over the Christmastree.
That was so fun.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Also, I feel like I need to clarify that the reason
I never want to go back to thisgay bar in particular is because
it's nasty.
It's so gross and dirty inthere and they always have a
cover.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
It's very sticky.
They always have a cover.
Yeah, there's always a cover,oh sticky.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
One time a male stripper asked me if I wanted a
lap dance and then told me thatI could be a stripper if I lost
some weight.
So I just always have I don'tremember, I didn't know, I know
thank you to lap dance and hewas like kept talking to me and
then eventually told me that andI was like cool, here I am.
Yeah, this is where this is me.
This is real.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
You could be a stripper, just as you are
Meredith.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Thank you, caroline, I think so too.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Okay, but that's also the night.
I know we need to wrap thingsup, but that is the night where
we met.
What was his name?
Houston, Hollywood, whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Something.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Houston, something Houston, or she.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I forgot about this, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
And she was in full drag and she was like no one was
there, obviously, and she waslike ready to show someone her
tricks and we were a willingaudience.
And she got up on a table andwas like I can jump down and
land in a split.
(27:15):
And we were like what, and shewas like eager to show us yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
And we were eager to see.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
We were eager to see and it hit the noise.
It sounded like a personjumping out of a window, like
the noise that you just younever want to hear a body hit
cement.
Okay, I think I'm wrong.
That was the noise that weheard, but in split form, like
she was in a full.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
She recovered so smoothly, but like things were
not okay, she popped right backup.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
She did, and you could tell there was pain behind
the eyes.
There was pain behind the eyes.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
We have to find that video.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
We have the video, we'll post it.
I have got it somewhere, Ben'sgot it somewhere.
But yeah, we have, we have somehangover, wasn't that it?
Yes, I think it was.
That was her name.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Okay, and she got all of our phone numbers and she
texted us for months every time,every time she had a
performance, she would text usNot in a group text like
individually, and we'd all belike did you get Houston's texts
?
She was good, though I feellike she was too good for
Columbia.
Maybe she moved on.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I know maybe she did.
Oh man, we've had some funtimes there are, so I had like
so many in my head Wait, tellone more, We've got.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
we've got a couple more minutes left.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I was either gonna talk.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I was gonna either talk about the time that, the
same night that you parallelparked, that was the same night
as Katie's bachelor party, orthe night that we went out.
Okay, so something about me isthat I'm really like.
I don't get sick from drinking.
(28:59):
Often I'm not.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I'm not a huge lush.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I just like love to go out and dance and have a good
time.
I truly only overindulged maybeone to two times A year maybe,
but when I do I'm really.
I always keep my composure.
I've never like lost itanywhere.
I literally told Meredith onetime or it was a car full of
(29:25):
people I said, excuse me, I'mgonna throw up in about three
minutes if you could findsomewhere to pull over.
And literally within like threeminutes I threw up, I did my
business, I got in the car and Iwent home.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It was so accurate.
I mean it was like exactlythree minutes.
Yeah man, oh man, oh man funtimes.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Okay, you tell the parallel parking story and then
we'll close it out.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Oh, it's just embarrassing.
So I learned how to parallelpark in a suburban.
I feel like I used to pridemyself on my parallel parking
skills because they were prettydecent.
And so we went out.
I was the DD.
I was trying to drive.
I was like, ooh, I'm gonnaparallel park in this spot and I
was like flexing so hard, LikeI was like I'm the best parallel
(30:12):
parker, Like watch this, Like Iwas setting them up for like
something incredible and I didlike-.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Which, like parallel parking, is never that
incredible.
But the way that you weretalking about it, we were like
ready to be impressed.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I've always like had it on, like my skill set list,
like I just I felt like it waslike something I need to like
brag about and I did like a 20point turn and finally my she's
not kidding, she's not kidding.
Had to get out of the back seatand park like in park.
For me, and I've never lived itdown, it was so bad.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
And I did that again I think like people watched.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
You know what?
I did it again this weekend.
I was so embarrassed.
Keith was in the passenger seatand he was so kind to not say
anything?
I don't think you can parallelpark.
I can't.
It's a one, it's every time Ido it.
It's like a one in 20 chance,Like it's every once, every like
20 times.
I get it perfectly and I don'tthink that makes me a good
parallel parker.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
No cause I mean I've got a smaller car than you, but
mine's probably like a one inthree to four chance.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I'm pretty bad, I think.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I've only had to like drive away maybe twice.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I've done it Drive away most times and that's been
a really hard pill for me toswallow, cause it's been kind of
part of my secret, my quietidentity, and it's not I need to
find a new one.
It's just nothing in thedriving realm is part of my
identity.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
No, and I know that you're self conscious of that.
I'm a little self consciousCause our family kind of shits
on her for it.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
But I've never got a speeding ticket and I've never
been in a wreck.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
There's no record of being a bad driver.
Oh my gosh, I've had so manyspeeding tickets, but I am kind
of a bad driver, but you're notlike reckless.
You're just like.
You are equivalent to like anolder woman.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, you just are a little bit ahead in the class.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, like you'll be going like 62 on the interstate
and not really like notice untillike Not 62.
Okay, 66.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
No, like 70.
You think I don't know.
I mean I don't I have more totalk about I just I go so fast,
so like no when I'm not with apassenger, I'm distracted by
talking.
If I'm in a conversation, I goreal slow.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, so all my friends who've been on the
interstate with me.
I'm so sorry it has taken us anadditional 30 minutes to get
there.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Well, and you appear like you take it after mom.
I guess because remember in thesixth grade the guy spread the
rumor about how my mom was a baddriver and I cried so like yeah
, that's gonna be mean, it'sjust runs in the family it does.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
And mom's the one that always shits on me for
being a bad driver.
Hot call on the kettle black.
All right, we have to go, butthanks so much for tuning in.
And we will see you nextTuesday, next Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
