All right, you guys, Novemberhappened. We're here, we hit the
moment. Is it November? Ithink I said this last year that the
entire month of November is literally justlistening to other people going you can't believe
it's November, and that's still true. It's still true, and I one
hundred percent fall into that category thewhole month. I'm like, how is
(00:23):
it November? How is it November? I think the only month of the
year that I'm not saying that isJanuary. Oh no, I say it
in January, because then instead ofsaying, how is it January, I'm
like, how is it twenty twentythree? You know it's true, you're
not really saying the month. Idon't know. January to me is the
only month of the year that actuallyfeels as long as it should. I
guess every other month I'm like,how the hell did February come and go
(00:46):
January? For some reason, Maybeit's just because it's like that after the
holiday slump where you're like, man, this month, nothing's happening. It's
just I'm always like, yeah,yeah, January thirty, Yeah, that's
about right, Like it just feelsit is consistently what it's supposed to be.
Are you guys going to do likea bonfire for Guy Fox Day?
(01:07):
What the hell is Guy Fox night? Oh? You know it? Remember
remember the fifth of November. GuyNow, I know I've heard that before,
but I don't know anything about it. Oh well, let me read
from the Wikipedia page because I'm notedge machadis learn us Jesse. It's an
annual commemoration observed on the fifth ofNovember, primarily in Great Britain, involving
(01:30):
bonfires and fireworks. Its history beginswith the events of the fifth of November
sixteen oh five, when Guy Fox, a member of the Gunpowder plot,
was arrested while guarding explosives that plottershad placed beneath the House of Lords.
The Catholic plotters had intended to assassinateProtestant King James the First and his parliament.
Celebrating that the king had survived,people lit bonfires around London, and
(01:53):
months later the observance of the FifthNovember Act and forced an annual pub display
of thanksgiving for the plots failure.Another gives heard that, Yeah, that
is interesting. Maybe because we're Catholic, we did not hear that, But
I remember that little rhyme there.I definitely yeah, Well it's from that
(02:15):
movie with Natalie Portman. Remember Thanthe Face Sky. What was that movie
V for Vendetta. I never sawthat. Well, it takes place in
a future British dystopian society and thenthe shadowy freedom fighter known as V plots
to overthrow the tyrannical government, kindof like Guy Fox did. Yeah,
now I didn't see it. Well, we're not. I wasn't planning on
(02:37):
celebrating. However, we are around. It can't fire right now, so
is that it's a partial partial?I fell into it Friday. We fell
into the celebration. So if you'relistening to us for the first time where
the ladies have sparked my interest podcast, every Monday, we actually have a
full episode where we do our wedo our big thing, which you're just
(02:57):
gonna have to listen to know whatthat is. But on Fridays we do
a Q and A from our listeners, and we actually had kind of a
follow up two hours and Deborah kindof you kind of did the Q and
A for this one. A coupleof weeks ago we talked about party fails,
and Debora had mentioned that she hadan after party fail, so we
thought we'd addressed that because we didget a write in as well, So
maybe we just start there or dowe start with the write in? Sure?
(03:21):
Yeah? So this comes to usfrom our former guest and friend of
the pod, Ashley. Yeah,my little my little sister from the sorority.
Yeah, so she heard our firesideabout the party fails and she actually
texted us this little jem So shegoes my party foul the time my freshman
year of college that I was headedto my very first sorority themed party bikers
(03:46):
and babes, and was apparently sodrunk by the time I got on the
van that takes you from the houseto the venue that I could not sign
my name to get in. Idon't remember having to sign into any party.
Do you like? What the hellwas going on with that one?
Thus so weird, but she stillwandered in and proceeded to vomit on at
minimum four of her storty sisters.Then got back on the van that everyone
(04:12):
was taking the whole night and vomitedin it during the ten minute ride back
to the house. She says,my storty sisters who had just met me
not even a month prior. Derobed me, got me showered and cleaned
up, and stood vigil at mybedside all night to make sure I didn't
die. And then she has fourmelty faces. That's sisterhood right there.
Yeah, it's another said sisterhood,like seeing each other's boobs just way way
(04:36):
into the new friendship. Man,I wasn't. I was not a part
of this. I don't think wehad our big fist little siss yet.
Oh so this is like early on. They would have been early on.
I remember hearing about it because Iwas like, what happened, Ashley?
Yeah, yeah, I remember myfreshman roommate. Her name was Gretchen.
(04:56):
She and I think, I wantto say it was like the first month
of college, ashman year, andjust get a knock at the door and
she's being carried by like three guys, like drunk off her ass and they're
like, she got into the EverClear And I just put a bucket by
her bed, and she barfed init a few times while I was sleeping,
but I just went back to bed. I was like, all right,
she looks like she's okay, Yeah, she's breathing. Nothing worse than
(05:19):
being like, here you go,You're you're left in charge. You're a
problem now. Yeah, I know, right, And it's funny. I
never told that story to anyone else. I just sort of was like one
of those things I was. Iguess college, and then I relaid the
story to some guys in my electricalengineering major, and one of the guys
was like, oh yeah, Iwas one of the guys that brought her.
And I was like, Okay,that's funny. I got small world.
(05:42):
Huh, yeah, I know.Ashley did that her freshman year.
It ever and I weren't huge drinkers. We didn't drink a lot, and
then our senior year we went outand drank a ton. I may have
mentioned it, but I got drinkso much. Ashley was not with me
that night, but I was oneof her roommates and I was on the
top bunk and she had a lowerbunk and there was no way my drunk
ass was getting to the top.So I passed down on her bed and
(06:06):
she was a good sport about that. Ah. College, Yeah, it's
good times right there. So Devior, you had your party fail that you
would you want to go next?Do you want to share what your parties,
A great party fail. I hada great party fail. So kind
of speaking to the tradition of sororitiesand theme parties, I think when Diana
and I moved to Los Angeles,we wanted to keep that spirit alive.
(06:29):
Yeah, we love the themes wedid. We did, and one of
our first theme parties we ever threwand we were probably what like twenty four
twenty five yea, we threw aloo out and it was our first like
really big party and we were justthere's three of us as Diana and our
and our roommate Jennef, and wewere all like, okay, like,
(06:50):
let's go this party. You gotfriends, I got friends, She's got
friends, legles invite everybody and weanyone show up dressed like Michelle Pfeiffer from
Greece too. I don't if theydid, I wouldn't have cut off grace
sweatshirt. I don't know Grace too, so I would not know if they
did us I know. But anyway, we were just getting out of hand.
(07:12):
I mean we invited just complete strangers, like I remember you and Jennif
I think went to the store.Oh we're all there. I can't even
remember we were like, people,yeah that we're behind us in line.
They were cool. I mean,it was just ridiculous. So in our
small ass apartment and we had overone hundred and ten people show up to
this party and we was a goodtime. It was a great time.
(07:35):
I mean people talked about that foryears. Honest, they still clew.
People still mention it. We threwepics a cool apartment too. It reminded
me of hollygo Lightley's apartment. Ohreally to breakfast at I can't kind of
see that city apartment. Yeah,well yeah, because they were so old
school, and our kitchen came straightfrom the fifties. It was. It
(07:56):
was definitely a neat place and justa fun place. And it was downtown.
So like the cops were called allthe time that a noise complaint.
They were just like, well keepit down. We were like sure,
and he's like case some point ourapartment multiple times for exactly exactly. But
yeah, So we decorated this thing. I mean we would spend the week
of the party. The three ofus were always just like decorating, no
(08:20):
matter what party we were throwing.So this one, we had purchased a
I don't know what to cause aninflatable cooler that was like a palm tree,
a big inflatable palm tree cooler,and we filled it with ice and
this thing was way bigger than weexpected. They're like, okay, like
this thing's great if you could putlike a full twenty four can case of
(08:41):
beer into this thing, and itwas easy easy. We even had bottles
of wine and they were like,oh, this is great, so put
it on in there. We hada full bar outside of that, but
like if somebody wants a wine cooleror whatever, like it's in that palm
tree cooler. So anyway, greatparty. I mean, people are there
until four or five o'clock in themorning. We sleep ben oh yeah,
(09:03):
we sleep until like maybe nine,nine thirty, and we wake up and
we're like, our whole apartment it'sjust sticky. Sticky is sticky from top
to bottom. The ceilings gross,the floor is disgusting, like all the
walls everything. We're like, wegotta clean this bitch, you know.
So we are cleaning stuff up.Things are looking better, like we are
(09:24):
motivated to get it done. Andone of the last things we left was
this freaking cooler. We're like,okay, we really gotta get it.
We gotta deal with this cooler.Well, what does ice do? It
melts? It melts, and sowe're like, hey, come on,
we have to remember this is aninflatable palm shrink here. So Jennif and
(09:45):
I are like, what do wedo with this thing? We're like,
let's drag it into well on oneof the bathrooms so we can dump it
into the bathtub. Like that's smart, right, So we're like, okay,
you get that side, I'll getthis side. So we go to
drag get but it's so freaking heavywith all this water that literally it's just
tips over in dumps. I meanit had to have been four gallons of
(10:09):
water into the carpet. I hearthat. We just literally were like like
the collective breath of the room isgone, and we just watched all this
water soak into this nasty ass purplecarpet that was there. So yeah,
it was a huge party after partyfailure. U it took forever. Our
(10:31):
house smell dank as fuck. Fourweeks. Um we had like we tried
to vacuum up the water. Wehad fans all over this thing, um
towels just stopping it up. Ourour apartment was not the same for I
don't know, what would you say? Three weeks we lived with the idea
that yeah, this was a bigpuddle of water just um stewing up the
(10:54):
mold in our in our apartment.Would it change anything? No, it
was a great story. I loveit. Yeah, it's a good experience.
And we filmed it. We havevideo weat somewhere. We do we
do? We have to find thatactually, oh yeah, maybe we could
post something. It's on one ofthose little mini tapes. I mean that's
how long ago it was was ona mini tape. Do you have a
way to play it back? Idon't know. I don't know. If
(11:16):
we have devas, it'll be astruggle. We might be able to find
it. We'll try and look forit, because we've got Jennifer on there
and she's like, now if youhaven't, you need it to be converted.
I have a way to do it. Okay, Okay, we'll try
to find it. Yeah. Um, speaking of the same apartment, I'm
gonna go with our after party failhere on the same apartment at a different
(11:39):
party though this was the seven anda half years of parties. Yeah,
at least once a year we hada stack cop. We had just a
regular party with a regular party,a stack cop, a disco, alu
au, a Christmas party. Rodehoo. That's sixth right there. Yeah,
we're missing a theme somewhere in there, but yeah, it was some
(12:00):
really good ship. We threw adisco. I'd want to say it was
two thousand and seven. We threwthis disco and it was awesome and we
were like we had already thrown somany of the themes that we were like,
we've got we got it up upthe anti bring it up a notch.
And so it's Devorah and I andour roommate Jennifer, and we're like,
we're gonna come up with a danceand it was to the scissor sisters
(12:22):
don't feel like dancing, And wewere like, okay, so when everyone's
in here and the like parties havelike really hop and we're gonna get up
on these chairs throughout the space.So you know, we all had like
a surrounding area and in this tinyliving room and we'll do this like a
go go dance or something. Yeah, it was like a go go dance.
(12:45):
It was really it was really cutedance. So we came up with
so and we practiced it for weeks, you know, just the three of
us standing on chairs in our livingroom, and we were like, okay,
So at one point, during likethe bridge of the song, it's
just instrument, so we would stepdown off of our chairs and switch chairs,
so then we would be in oppositesides of the room. And I
(13:07):
still remember this dance. I remembera lot of it. Can show me
a little bit of it, wewill. We have that on tape too,
but it's so dart it's so dark. The party was so dark.
But our friend Joey had had recordedit, but we did tape the whole
fucking thing. So it was therewas easily over a hundred people that time.
It was huge. It was amassive party. So anyway, everyone's
crammed into this living room because they'relike, oh, I want to see
(13:28):
this dance that these girls are doing. There's entertainment. There was entertainment.
So at one point we had neverpracticed it with this because we knew it
would be a little bit messy.But we were like, once we come
up from the bridge and we're onour new chairs, there's a part in
the song where you. It's likethe like the big grand moment of the
(13:48):
song, like a key change.Yeah, we would throw these buckets of
confetti that we had, and wehad bought this confetti. They were in
buckets, hiding under the chairs.No one knew it was going to happen.
So the moment comes, we allbin down, pick up our buckets,
and people don't know what the hell'sin there, and we throw this
fucking confetti. I mean I rememberthrowing it. There was this poor guy,
Stephen, standing right in front ofme. His drink was right there.
(14:09):
It was covered in confetti, andthen his face was covered in it.
I remember looking around and being like, oh my god, Like this
one guy had been turned at theside, so one fit side of his
face was just all confetti and theother one wasn't. So I'm like,
oh, that's so funny. Again, I'm on this chair finishing the dance.
I'm like, that's this is great. This is exactly what we wanted
with this confetti. As soon asthe song's over, I stepped down and
(14:31):
the carpet is about three inches thicker. It is so soft, and I'm
like, oh, that's not gonnabe great to pick up, but I
don't think much of it. Wegotta dison, you know, Yeah,
we gotta do this and we'll befine. So party again goes to like
four or five o'clock in the morning, we all go to bed. Everything's
like great. We wake up,we're like, oh, big mess.
(14:52):
Yeah, it was a big fuckingmess. I would have taken the lu
Au water any day over this.That confetti was so there was so much
of it. And then when weopened the door to take out the trash
so to leave our apartment, itdoesn't it's not an apartment that goes outside.
It goes into an interior hallway,and it was covered nothing body.
(15:13):
I mean, there was litterfetti.It sticked. Yeah, it was like
glitter confetti. And he went allthe way down the hall into both elevators
that we had in this place,down the elevator cheft into the fucking lobby
and we were like fuck like becausethere was outside. It was a trail
of breadcrumbs that led you to goover where the party were. Yeah,
(15:35):
everybody's shoes and then so we hadto go out. We were plugging the
vacuum into the hallway of the apartmentand like vacuuming out there because we're like,
shit, like, it was somuch confetti and that thing lasted.
So that party was at the inJanuary two thousand and seven, and we
moved out in December of twenty ten, and there was still confetti. We
(15:56):
moved it into the house. Wemoved it into our new home when we
bought the house in twenty ten,and we were like, well, how
the fuck did the confetti getting here? It was still there. So that
would you guys say you made alot of friends from parties or just kind
of well, they were all ourfriends, it's really I mean, yes,
there were the random people we inviteda grocery stores and shit, but
for the most part, they wereall our friends that we invited to the
(16:18):
party. Yeah, okay, yeah, but um it was great. Yeah,
that's really great. It was yeah, a great part. It was
a great party. Felt like itwas a bitch to clean, but at
the same time we were laughing andhave a good time about it. Which
party was it that you have yourmost embarrassing moment? I can't remember.
Well, it was the lull.It's not my most embarrassing moment. We
(16:40):
all know. My boot was themost embarrassing little place at work. But
yes, well the one where youtold the guy that you liked him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah we weregoing to end up dating. Wasn't the

a douchebag. Yeah, well man, what a what a good party foul?
That was too, that's a partyfoul though we did after party,
never after party. And I thinkwe covered that like some point in the
(17:27):

friends, legles invite everybody and weanyone show up dressed like Michelle Pfeiffer from
Greece too. I don't if theydid, I wouldn't have cut off grace
sweatshirt. I don't know Grace too, so I would not know if they
did us I know. But anyway, we were just getting out of hand.
(07:12):
I mean we invited just complete strangers, like I remember you and Jennif
I think went to the store.Oh we're all there. I can't even
remember we were like, people,yeah that we're behind us in line.
They were cool. I mean,it was just ridiculous. So in our
small ass apartment and we had overone hundred and ten people show up to
this party and we was a goodtime. It was a great time.
(07:35):
I mean people talked about that foryears. Honest, they still clew.
People still mention it. We threwepics a cool apartment too. It reminded
me of hollygo Lightley's apartment. Ohreally to breakfast at I can't kind of
see that city apartment. Yeah,well yeah, because they were so old
school, and our kitchen came straightfrom the fifties. It was. It
(07:56):
was definitely a neat place and justa fun place. And it was downtown.
So like the cops were called allthe time that a noise complaint.
They were just like, well keepit down. We were like sure,
and he's like case some point ourapartment multiple times for exactly exactly. But
yeah, So we decorated this thing. I mean we would spend the week
of the party. The three ofus were always just like decorating, no
(08:20):
matter what party we were throwing.So this one, we had purchased a
I don't know what to cause aninflatable cooler that was like a palm tree,
a big inflatable palm tree cooler,and we filled it with ice and
this thing was way bigger than weexpected. They're like, okay, like
this thing's great if you could putlike a full twenty four can case of
(08:41):
beer into this thing, and itwas easy easy. We even had bottles
of wine and they were like,oh, this is great, so put
it on in there. We hada full bar outside of that, but
like if somebody wants a wine cooleror whatever, like it's in that palm
tree cooler. So anyway, greatparty. I mean, people are there
until four or five o'clock in themorning. We sleep ben oh yeah,
(09:03):
we sleep until like maybe nine,nine thirty, and we wake up and
we're like, our whole apartment it'sjust sticky. Sticky is sticky from top
to bottom. The ceilings gross,the floor is disgusting, like all the
walls everything. We're like, wegotta clean this bitch, you know.
So we are cleaning stuff up.Things are looking better, like we are
(09:24):
motivated to get it done. Andone of the last things we left was
this freaking cooler. We're like,okay, we really gotta get it.
We gotta deal with this cooler.Well, what does ice do? It
melts? It melts, and sowe're like, hey, come on,
we have to remember this is aninflatable palm shrink here. So Jennif and
(09:45):
I are like, what do wedo with this thing? We're like,
let's drag it into well on oneof the bathrooms so we can dump it
into the bathtub. Like that's smart, right, So we're like, okay,
you get that side, I'll getthis side. So we go to
drag get but it's so freaking heavywith all this water that literally it's just
tips over in dumps. I meanit had to have been four gallons of
(10:09):
water into the carpet. I hearthat. We just literally were like like
the collective breath of the room isgone, and we just watched all this
water soak into this nasty ass purplecarpet that was there. So yeah,
it was a huge party after partyfailure. U it took forever. Our
(10:31):
house smell dank as fuck. Fourweeks. Um we had like we tried
to vacuum up the water. Wehad fans all over this thing, um
towels just stopping it up. Ourour apartment was not the same for I
don't know, what would you say? Three weeks we lived with the idea
that yeah, this was a bigpuddle of water just um stewing up the
(10:54):
mold in our in our apartment.Would it change anything? No, it
was a great story. I loveit. Yeah, it's a good experience.
And we filmed it. We havevideo weat somewhere. We do we
do? We have to find thatactually, oh yeah, maybe we could
post something. It's on one ofthose little mini tapes. I mean that's
how long ago it was was ona mini tape. Do you have a
way to play it back? Idon't know. I don't know. If
(11:16):
we have devas, it'll be astruggle. We might be able to find
it. We'll try and look forit, because we've got Jennifer on there
and she's like, now if youhaven't, you need it to be converted.
I have a way to do it. Okay, Okay, we'll try
to find it. Yeah. Um, speaking of the same apartment, I'm
gonna go with our after party failhere on the same apartment at a different
(11:39):
party though this was the seven anda half years of parties. Yeah,
at least once a year we hada stack cop. We had just a
regular party with a regular party,a stack cop, a disco, alu
au, a Christmas party. Rodehoo. That's sixth right there. Yeah,
we're missing a theme somewhere in there, but yeah, it was some
(12:00):
really good ship. We threw adisco. I'd want to say it was
two thousand and seven. We threwthis disco and it was awesome and we
were like we had already thrown somany of the themes that we were like,
we've got we got it up upthe anti bring it up a notch.
And so it's Devorah and I andour roommate Jennifer, and we're like,
we're gonna come up with a danceand it was to the scissor sisters
(12:22):
don't feel like dancing, And wewere like, okay, so when everyone's
in here and the like parties havelike really hop and we're gonna get up
on these chairs throughout the space.So you know, we all had like
a surrounding area and in this tinyliving room and we'll do this like a
go go dance or something. Yeah, it was like a go go dance.
(12:45):
It was really it was really cutedance. So we came up with
so and we practiced it for weeks, you know, just the three of
us standing on chairs in our livingroom, and we were like, okay,
So at one point, during likethe bridge of the song, it's
just instrument, so we would stepdown off of our chairs and switch chairs,
so then we would be in oppositesides of the room. And I
(13:07):
still remember this dance. I remembera lot of it. Can show me
a little bit of it, wewill. We have that on tape too,
but it's so dart it's so dark. The party was so dark.
But our friend Joey had had recordedit, but we did tape the whole
fucking thing. So it was therewas easily over a hundred people that time.
It was huge. It was amassive party. So anyway, everyone's
crammed into this living room because they'relike, oh, I want to see
(13:28):
this dance that these girls are doing. There's entertainment. There was entertainment.
So at one point we had neverpracticed it with this because we knew it
would be a little bit messy.But we were like, once we come
up from the bridge and we're onour new chairs, there's a part in
the song where you. It's likethe like the big grand moment of the
(13:48):
song, like a key change.Yeah, we would throw these buckets of
confetti that we had, and wehad bought this confetti. They were in
buckets, hiding under the chairs.No one knew it was going to happen.
So the moment comes, we allbin down, pick up our buckets,
and people don't know what the hell'sin there, and we throw this
fucking confetti. I mean I rememberthrowing it. There was this poor guy,
Stephen, standing right in front ofme. His drink was right there.
(14:09):
It was covered in confetti, andthen his face was covered in it.
I remember looking around and being like, oh my god, Like this
one guy had been turned at theside, so one fit side of his
face was just all confetti and theother one wasn't. So I'm like,
oh, that's so funny. Again, I'm on this chair finishing the dance.
I'm like, that's this is great. This is exactly what we wanted
with this confetti. As soon asthe song's over, I stepped down and
(14:31):
the carpet is about three inches thicker. It is so soft, and I'm
like, oh, that's not gonnabe great to pick up, but I
don't think much of it. Wegotta dison, you know, Yeah,
we gotta do this and we'll befine. So party again goes to like
four or five o'clock in the morning, we all go to bed. Everything's
like great. We wake up,we're like, oh, big mess.
(14:52):
Yeah, it was a big fuckingmess. I would have taken the lu
Au water any day over this.That confetti was so there was so much
of it. And then when weopened the door to take out the trash
so to leave our apartment, itdoesn't it's not an apartment that goes outside.
It goes into an interior hallway,and it was covered nothing body.
(15:13):
I mean, there was litterfetti.It sticked. Yeah, it was like
glitter confetti. And he went allthe way down the hall into both elevators
that we had in this place,down the elevator cheft into the fucking lobby
and we were like fuck like becausethere was outside. It was a trail
of breadcrumbs that led you to goover where the party were. Yeah,
(15:35):
everybody's shoes and then so we hadto go out. We were plugging the
vacuum into the hallway of the apartmentand like vacuuming out there because we're like,
shit, like, it was somuch confetti and that thing lasted.
So that party was at the inJanuary two thousand and seven, and we
moved out in December of twenty ten, and there was still confetti. We
(15:56):
moved it into the house. Wemoved it into our new home when we
bought the house in twenty ten,and we were like, well, how
