Speaker 1 (00:00):
Cold open.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Yeah, what do you have to say for this cold open?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hi, I don't have anything.
It's weird, we normally havesomething to say, but You're
right, roll the intro.
Yep, welcome back to the a-listpodcast with allison and alex.
(00:34):
And allison, that's alex.
What are your thoughts on?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
the boo-boos.
Yeah, so funny about that, sofunny thing about that.
I was at the mall yesterday,two days ago, three days ago,
maybe yesterday and is popmaropen who never mind who's that?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
who sells them the store?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
oh, I was at the burbank mall.
Okay, and I was at the burbankmall.
What was I saying?
Labubu, first of all, I don'tknow what they are.
I have seen one tiktok videowith laganja estranja, like went
to some like thing, a buka debeppo, where they have like a
(01:11):
labubu, labububu, whateverthey're called a buka de beppo x
labubu crossover.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yes, that's it, and I was like what is?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
this.
People are like super stokedabout these things.
Anyway, I met them allyesterday and on the bottom
level there's a table set upselling these.
What again?
I don't have much context, butto me, at first glance, they
look like teddy bears dressed upas dogs.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
They're tiny little humans dressed up as bears.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
They're neither.
They're like little monsters.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Who are they?
To me, it's just silly bandsall over again.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, okay yeah, it's , it's uh, um beanie babies,
it's whatever the craze is ofthe time.
So it's like some artistcreated this character oh named
labu um, I think it's just labuioo Boo.
I don't know if they have names.
They might, but he created thischaracter and these little
(02:11):
dolls and the fun of it is thatit's a blind opening, so you
don't know what style or whatcolor you're going to get.
I think they have differentcategories.
There's one that's like themacaron collection I hear a lot
of people talking about andthere are like named to like
(02:32):
flavors, and then their colorscoordinate with that, and so you
get the box and you don't knowwhich one you're going to get.
So it's like, oh, I really wantthe pink one, I want the
vanilla whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
So then you buy more capitalism.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yes, so this blind box opening is it's pretty big
in uh like you can buy them atlike the K-pop store or like
that Mini Sue, is that what it'scalled?
I?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's like in the mall with all the little trinkets
and stuff yeah.
Popmart is another.
They're putting one at our mall.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Oh, they are.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And it's like um, I don't know if it's Korean or
Japanese, but little trinketsand stuff like that, that type
of thing.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And there are many varying sizes.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I don't know if there's sizes.
There might be.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I feel like some of them look like their key chain
size.
Yeah, yeah, most, I thinkthat's what they are oh, the
ones at the mall I saw yesterdaywere like I think those were
lefufus.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
They're fakes because I think the only ones that sell
them are pop mart and peopleare reselling them.
So that's also the thing is you.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
They're really hard to get lefufu is a rip of labubu
yeah, it's like the fake.
Those are people call the fakeones oh god, it's not a brand
called no, no.
It's like that.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
No, no, no, it's like the fakes that's a LeFouFou,
because they're so hard to get,because people are buying all of
them up and then reselling themfor more expensive.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
But the blind opening community is big.
Yes, I know.
Do you know?
Have you ever heard of theSunny Angels?
No, it's like those are likethe little, like naked babies
that they're like a little like.
They're little cherubs, likeit's not like like ann getty no,
I'll show you these you knowI'm talking about no, they're
(04:18):
just like little.
Um, yeah, they're like littlecherubs and they all they will
have different like themes also.
And uh, they'll have likelittle cherubs and they all.
They will have different likethemes also.
And uh, they'll have likelittle things on their head.
That is the.
So there's like the fruitcollection and you can get like
the strawberry or the lemon.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
What do you do with these?
They sit on your shelf.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
These are more yeah, they're more like you can put
them like on people like putthem on their phone, hang off
their phone or they just sitthere.
Let me get you, let me show youone you're showing me a lafubu
no, this is the sunny angels ohright this is the flower series,
(04:58):
so, but it's just like theblind opening.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's like you get there and you're like I really
want the pink one.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
And then you're like you like close your eyes and you
open it and you're like oh mygod, I got the one I wanted.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It's not that crazy.
It's not, unlike the videos Iwatch on tiktok of the people
opening pin packs at disneylandit's the same type, it's the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, it's just like oh, I really hope it's jaffa the
labubus got big because Lisaand Jenny from Blackpink they
had them on their Birkins, or alot of celebrities, I wonder if
Labubu paid them to do that?
Maybe Smart.
I think it started spreadingbecause there were celebrities
(05:40):
that had them on their reallyexpensive purses and it was like
why is your Labubu on your?
Gotta get it, yeah.
So I don't know, I don't haveone, you guys, but if you want
to send me one, I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Do you have a favorite flavor you'd like?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I don't no Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I don't care, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But they also the Labubus look, they have like
sharp teeth.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I'm going to be honest, I haven't taken a close
peek at a laboo Now.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'm going to show you this.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, show me a laboo .
I can't believe this is a thing.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Like they're looking scary.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Oh my, and their mouth is like big.
Yeah so they're all that size.
Yeah, the ones I saw werebigger.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, I mean, I'm not an expert on I don't have them,
so I don't know why I'mdefinitively telling you like
they aren't bigger.
I just think that they're not.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
What I saw was not in a blind package, it was like
out on display to buy.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, I think that could be, but I also.
I just think the thing is likethey're so hard to get.
People are like black market orlike meeting up and like
parking lots to buy them frompeople.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You're right, it's too high.
Beanie Babies all over againTyping me.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It is, but I didn't.
I feel like Beanie Babies wereso much easier to get, like you
got them in your McDonald's likeHappy Meal.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That was what was crazy is because, like people
were going nuts, because somemcdonald's were only carrying
the bowl, but you know you gotto go to travel all around yeah,
I didn't.
We all wish we would have keptthem, you know well, kind of my
brother-in-law did, his mom kept, like all the special edition
ones still in their packaging.
He had a princess diana bear.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
That was the one and they weren't worth anything but
like don't, but maybe they couldcome back around.
Like all it takes is one person.
Like I said, all it takes islisa yeah to put it on her bag
yeah and then it's like beaniebabies yeah, it's so y2k, it's
so whatever you're right, Iloved my beanie babies.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Loved my beanie babies I had a handful.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I wouldn't say I had like a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I had a lot and I had puffins.
Did you ever collect puffins?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
No, was that like a bird?
Well a puffin is a bird.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Puffkins.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Ah no.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I said puffins, but it's puffkins.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Now that you say the kin, I do remember people I
didn't have.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
They were like animals that didn't have like
they were, just like they onlyonly had feet yeah I'm
describing it weird but no, Iknow, you mean so cute.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, I collected those.
I love my puffkins I collectedjust bear figurines for a while,
like that was like my wholepersonality when I was younger
and like I would get bears fromevery did someone call you honey
bear and not stuck?
No, I just was like I want tocollect something and I didn't
know what to do, so I think, onlike one vacation, I was just
like I'm going to make likelittle bear figurines, the thing
(08:28):
.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Cute.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And for a while, like then, everyone was getting me
bear figurines and I don't evencare about bears.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I really didn't stay calm, did it.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Another gone over there I loved to collect.
Loved.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I always had a new collection.
It was marbles.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
It loved.
I always had a new collection.
It was marbles it was um hotwheels, it was locks.
I think hot wheels have had aresurgent.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
They have resurgence because you can get like cool
ones just at, like 7-eleven orsomething I loved hot wheels
maybe you should pick that backup maybe I just don't worry,
keep them, but locks you canmake a little display on a wall
true of like rare fun ones.
I have a gold hot wheelsomewhere.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
That's probably worth something made out of real gold
I think it is yeah that'spretty sick.
Okay, speaking of gold, this islike kind of a good segue make
new friends, but keep the old.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
One is silver and the other is gold For sure.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
So you might have to start using gold when the power
grid goes down and you know,chaos ensues.
Okay, that's not really what.
Well, we do need to talk aboutthat, but today felt apocalyptic
and that's how I'm tying all ofthat together.
There was a really bad wreck onthe 405 at 2 am this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Oh, there was a really bad wreck on the 405 at 2
am this morning.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh, and it was basically like someone wrecked
and I think it was like a singleperson wrecked.
I don't know what the scenariowas Like if they just lost
control.
There was something going on.
A police officer showed up tocheck on this person but he was
alone and it must have been at apoint and they like going
through the canyon.
That was either a hill or aturn.
(10:08):
The police officer stopped andI, based on the picture, I can
see like he was like kind of inone of the lanes, kind of in the
uh hov lane.
he was like diagonal he parkedthe police officer got it okay
parked car diagonal but had hislights on.
Yeah, someone came, I assume,down the HOV lane and like hit
(10:32):
him, so the police officer died.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh my.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
God, I don't know.
Someone else that was involvedin the crash died.
I don't know if it was theoriginal person that crashed or
the person that hit the officer.
I don't know what happened tohim.
Two people died.
The third is like critical orsomething I don't know, I
haven't heard.
I haven't heard past the onearticle that I read, but anyway,
(10:55):
that happened at 2 AM, and sothey shut down the four, oh five
, from a little bit before myexit to all the way down to like
Santa Monica Boulevard orsomething.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
A big chunk of the 405s, so this morning at rush
hour no one could get around.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That's insanity.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
When I tell you that I left this morning because,
okay, I'm getting ahead ofmyself I left this morning.
I went to a CVS to the right ofme.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
They didn't have what I needed, and so then I had to
go the other direction onVentura Forget about it To the
other CVS.
You know I'm talking about theone by party city.
Well, how long, would you say,with no traffic, it would take
me to get from the cvs andencino by amazon press, you know
I'm talking about to the cvs byparty city, which is like
(11:54):
riverside it is um 10 minutes oh, I think less yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, but most 10.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I think five.
I think somewhere around fiveIf I don't get stopped at the
couple lights, if it's just astraight shot down, I think five
minutes.
It took me 30 minutes becauseit was standstill traffic going
down Because how do you getaround to?
(12:24):
If you really need to go south,you have.
I don't even know how peoplewere doing it, like were they
going to laurel to go throughthe canyon that way, or cold
water, yeah, or were they tryingto get to the 101, like I don't
know, but it was, it was insane, like that is why even side
(12:44):
streets like I tried to go.
I was just running errands,which was the worst thing to do,
but like I had to do them, Ialso needed to go to Best Buy
and I was on a random sidestreet by that Best Buy.
That's like this is no onecares where the landmarks I'm
pointing out by that in and out,that's also right there.
I went like side streets aroundand even those were congested.
(13:09):
I couldn't believe it so they,they shut down the 405 yeah,
from like 2, 30 in the morninguntil uh, when I was out, it was
like 11, 30, 12 because theywere investigating I don't know.
Like yeah, I guess, because twopeople that is crazy died, but
like I don't think that's anormal thing.
That happens like if a wreckhappens, even if there's a
(13:31):
casualty.
It's like they get the, theyget taken away.
Yeah, someone comes in to cleanup the car, like the glass and
everything and that never reallytakes that long right, correct?
and also they could have movedthe cars over, because from the
picture I saw it like I said,like they were kind of against
(13:53):
the guardrail and the hov lane.
The 405 is humongous, there'slike six lanes of traffic like
why couldn't?
Yeah, that's the other lanes bebeing used even if they, even
if they close three, three lanes, oh my God.
Anyway, it was a nightmare butthat made me it felt apocalyptic
and it felt like it was lawless.
(14:14):
People were just like drivingwherever they wanted to drive,
my God, turning around, likesqueezing their way into, in
front of people that they didn'tbelong in, and I was like mixed
with everyone, being like thepower grid is going to go down
and we're all going to be in ablackout, and like are you going
to survive Basically?
I'm stressed because you livefurther away now and our plan
(14:38):
can't happen now.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Well, no, because I can't get anywhere.
Someone has to get to me.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I know, but you're now.
You're so far away, it's goingto take us so long to get to you
.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I'll wait yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Someone has to come get me.
I'll drive, but someone's gotto get here.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, my, my car won't work so sure Well but what
I'm saying is people are like,if the chaos we like, we'll have
to walk to you because, likethe, every single road will be
like that, and I'm stressedabout it.
I'm not gonna lie.
I think that I had this happensto me once a year yeah, and
(15:14):
right now it's very fittingbecause it does feel yeah I'm
like crazy right now do I havedo?
How do we survive?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I don't know if it's bad enough, I'll just throw
myself to it, just throw myselfoff the nearest building
whatever the like chaos is, I'lljust throw my body into it
anyway, not to bring it down,but I was.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I could not believe how bad the traffic was this
morning all to just go get somefucking liquid ivs.
And I like a liquid IV.
I just had a really good flavor.
Actually I bought it was like asherbert or a sorbet flavor.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yum, because my favorite is rocket pop.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, rocket pop is great.
I like the original lime.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, that one's good Lemon lime.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Lemon lime and I liked this sherbert.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yum.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
You know how people say sherbet Sherbet, yum what.
You know how people say sherbetSherbet, sherbet, sherbert,
sorbet.
What's the difference?
Sherbert and sherbet are thesame thing.
It's just like a regional.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Midwest way of pronouncing it.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Why.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I like that sherbet ice cream.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Is sorbet, just like fruit and water.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
One is with egg and one is without Egg.
I'm pretty sure it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I'm not looking that up.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Also go ahead.
Let us know in the comments.
Am I wrong?
Well, do you want to bring thatover here?

So my sister's coming to visit this week?
Yes, that'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (16:35):

Speaker 2 (17:12):
She should watch Dr Oakley Yukon vet, since she's in
Alaska.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
She would actually like it, like that's definitely
a show that my mom would watch.
She also there was a time umwhere she was watching, just
like davy crockett.
So much just like a tv showthat is davy crockett, you know,
I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I know you're talking he just like walks from like
ohio to new york I don't knowabout that, but he did because,
like he couldn't, there was nodriving and so the whole show is
following his walks, because hehad business to do and he was
like a he's a businessman.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
He was a businessman, davy.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Crockett had business to do.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And he was just like walking like multiple states.
He'd be gone for weeks at atime and would just like walk
across states.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And every episode was a different walk to a different
state.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
No, I don't know what every episode was, but that was
just something that I learnedand I was like that's insane.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Did you ever watch the Beverly Hillbillies?
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Full stop.
That was the question.
Speaker 2 (18:14):

Gilligan's Island.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
What are you going to do with the fam when they're

Uh, we're gonna do like a santamonica pier beach, even though
(18:57):
you're doing that thing that usthat you do right, like once a
year.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
You strap on your shoes and you play tourist.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You have to do it.
Yeah, I don't think thatthere's going to be like
swimming, because I think thewater's still not.
It's too cold, yeah, it's toocold, and the oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
What about your pool?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I'm sorry, Is there a ?
My hair is falling out.
That's what's happening.
I have a pool.
Joshua's pool is actuallybetter.
It's not caged in with one inchof its life, it is caged in,
but it's like a bigger area, soit's like it feels like a normal
way to be caged in Um, but Ithink that the water is still
not safe to swim in.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The ocean or the pool .
Speaker 1 (19:34):
The ocean.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Okay, right, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
So I think we're going to go and like we might,
like you know, walk along theboardwalk.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Uh, from Josh was like we should walk from Venice
to Santa Monica.
Is that a thing that people do?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yes On the on the sand miles on the sand.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Oh, he meant on the boardwalk.
Oh cause it was like you'll see, you'll, you'll see the people
like working out in Venice andlike skateboarding and
rollerblading, and then and thenyou pier, and, like you know,
third street ride the rollercoaster.
(20:12):
I've never done that before.
Is it safe?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
it's safe and it's fun.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
You get to go twice oh, like you get on and then it
goes around, and then they goaround again yeah, because it's
so short that would be thedefinition.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
The rides on the pier are actually really fun i've've
never done any of them.
They're very fun.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, we'll probably do that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
You buy like a wristband for a certain amount
of time.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Okay, yeah, I've literally just walked and walked
back because it's also been Ihaven't been with kids, yeah, so
that, yeah, walker on thirdstreet.
It just like I feel likethat'll just be a fly by the
seat of our pants yeah and thenthey.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
There's a couple other days are you gonna take
them to your new favoriterestaurant there?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
well no, it's not really for kids and I think that
the food they wouldn't careabout.
So it's like it's kind ofexpensive to for them not to
like really eat much.
You know it's because it'sbuffet style.
It's like, yeah, whatever, no,it's an, it's an adult like you
want to be drinking at leastsome champagne, mimosas when
(21:09):

and then the rest of the timewe'll just figure it out cute,
that'll be fun yeah, um, what,what else?
what's happening with you thisweek?
I feel like now we're talkingabout what's going to happen
Rather than what has happened.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Because we just saw each other 18 minutes ago,
because we just recorded lastnight I'm going, so there's
quite a bit of shoots this week,and then this weekend is my
boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
My god.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
My boyfriend's friend's boyfriend's?
No, I guess that's his friendtoo.

Okay Of a friend, a friend ofmy boyfriend's friend.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Just connected to him .
He is very.
He's got a packed socialcalendar, it seems, or was it.
Is it just like?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
It's just coincidental that there have
been a lot of things.
We are going to have dinnerwith his mom on Friday.
I've had dinner with her before.
She is the sweetest woman ever.
I'm so excited Like she isprecious, so that'll be nice.
He's going to take me to herpart of town and then to a
restaurant that he he worked atwhen he was younger.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
it's their regular spot cute so I'm like I wish I
was a regular and I've neverbeen there to this place before.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I don't know if it's a chain.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It is a chain because there's one in burbank wood
ranch okay wood ranch grill Idon't know me never been, so
anyway it's you'll have to tellme is it the when you go it?
Maybe is it like an applebee'stype, is it like uh?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
to me because you know in burbank, where islands
is across from, it is wood ranchokay.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Is it giving bjs?
Speaker 2 (23:01):

I will take a look at theinside of wood ranch and let you
know.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Okay, I'm excited for you.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I don't even know what kind of food it is when you
hear Wood Ranch.
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
It just feels like a steakhouse.
It feels like a Chili's andApplebee's.
They're going to have steaks.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I feel like it's more like a cheesecake factory.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Oh my gosh, so many options.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, but maybe not.
I don't know A steakhouse,you're right.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Like a nice, like a Texas roadhouse.
You can get a steak, you couldget.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
A blooming onion Yum Maybe.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
They'll probably have their own signature appetizer.
Did I tell you I went to BJ'sfor the first time?
No, what did you get?
Did you get a bouzouki?
We did.
We went.
It was like probably a monthago now, randomly.
Yeah, because we kept gettingads on, like Hulu or something.
So you were like fine, they havea lot of ads that they're
running and we were like youknow what we both haven't been
(23:59):
Like.
Let's go.
I, it was the regular food wasfine.
I got like a pasta, okay, likea.
I think it had like shrimp orsomething in it, like very safe
choice, I feel.
And then we shared a pizookie.
It was sort of a dressed up one.
(24:19):
I think it was like one oftheir, just for a limited time.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
It was like snickers inspired you should have done
the triple.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You get like three mini ones, so you can try three
different ones.
Oh next time.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
We couldn't decide because naturally there was one
that was like strawberry, likefruit inspired, that I was like
that one looks good.
And it was like he.
He thought the Snickers onelooked good.
And there was like another oneand I was like I'm just gonna
like blind there's like six.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
What were you no?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
the ones that we sounded looked, sounded good to
us got, it got it okay, and I,just, like blind, picked one of
the three that looked good to usor whatever, and we ended up on
the snickers one.
You wouldn't have liked it.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
There was nuts yeah, that's not for me but the rest
was good yeah, bj's is good, andI do imagine Woodrange is like
that.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
What's Sharky's?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Mexican Fast food.
So that's Friday, and thenSaturday Is the party, and then

Speaker 2 (26:12):

That's nice, probably going tothe beach.
His best friend lives on thebeach, so they always do a thing
, so I think it's just gonna belike that reminds me I don't
know why, but remember in thehills.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
No wait, you didn't watch the hills no, of course I
didn't watch those.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
there's okay.
Well, adrena is dating justinbobby at this time sorry what
you didn't even know thecharacters they were in the
zeitgeist.
I feel like you were livinghere when they were like I'm
sorry, famous here, justicebobby justin bobby.
Stop, it's not.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
That wasn't his name, but they started calling him
that and then it's, that's funnyit's stuck for the whole series
I want someone to call mesomething like that, and he's
got long, luscious hair and hehas a motorcycle justin bobby
justin bobby.
Yeah, okay, so who was datinghim?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
audrina okay audrina patridge yeah okay, so I know
the name okay, so they weredating but he was a douche and,
um, she invites him to thisbeach party that lauren conrad
is like.
I think brody jenner washosting it, okay, and lauren,
because it was like that timewhere they were trying to make
everyone believe that her andbrody were like kind of dating.
I don't know whatever.
(27:17):
It wasn't real oh it was notreal.
Adrena invites justin bobby andthe whole time she's waiting for
him to show up and then he does, but he's like has like friends
with him.
There's like kind of anothergirl I think he's flirting with
and he is like very like leatherboots because what leather head
to toe he's very leather bootsleather, the house, not boots.
(27:39):
He rides his motorcycle and thenhe like dips out without saying
goodbye to adrena and she'slike crying because they're also
drunk on the beach or whatever.
And there's a famous line oflauren conrad that she's like
consoling her and she's liketelling her that she doesn't,
don't worry about him, he's adouche, whatever.
She's like homeboy or combatboots to the beach and it's like
(28:02):
an iconic lauren conrad linereally yeah, homeboy, or combat
boots to the beach, is it?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
because when I said we'll be at the beach for the
fourth that you were like, well,maybe I'll wear my combat boots
no, I was just thinking of aparty at the beach and that was
like the first, like image thatflashed in my mind.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I can't believe you should start with the hills
right now and I definitelyshould be serious, I think in
laguna beach oh my well, youdon't need to watch laguna,
because now, looking back, theonly reason it's I can still
watch it is because I watched itthen oh, okay I think now, if
you try to watch laguna.
They're in high school and it'sjust like.
They're constantly underage,drinking and just like fighting
(28:42):
about who likes which boy theylike or whatever.
And it's Kristen and Lauren.
They're fighting over one guy,oh, and it's a whole thing.
But because they're young, itjust like it's not.
It doesn't hit the same way, Idon't think now.
So you watching it for thefirst time, I think you'd be
(29:02):
like what.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Like I do not care about this, but if you started
the hills because they're older,they're going to places that
you were going.
Yeah, at the time, like I thinkthat you would are we the same
age?
Yeah, you think I think thatthere might be a couple years
older, one to two years older,but kristin might be close, like
is closer to our age Cause shewas.
(29:26):
I think that I was likesophomore going into junior year
when it was airing the firstseason, yeah, and that's when
Lauren graduated.
But then Kristen was season twowhen she was a senior.
So I think that we are likecloser to Kristen, but I mean
still the same, Like you wereout here when the Hills was
(29:46):
going on they're going to hidethey're going to.
What was the?
What was the name of that one?
Bar Ladoo.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Oh my God, chad was just talking about Ladoo.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
It was the hottest bar and I am so mad that it's
closed Cause.
Like when I moved out here Iwas I was like I wish that I
could go to ladue so bad it'swhere every everything went down
at ladue that's what.
That's what I have been toldthe big fight between lauren and
heidi.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, where she's like screaming at her outside
heidi klum nope heidi oh, heidispencer and heidi, they're from
this show as well.
Yeah, oh my.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
God, oh my gosh.
They, lauren, lived at the, theapartments that are by, um, uh,
by the Grove, yeah, the Brea issomething, park La Brea.
Yeah, I think it might becalled something different in
the show.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
But yeah, it's just iconic and I, I think that I
want just iconic and I, I thinkthat I want, I need you to start
it, maybe I will, so fun, okay,I could talk about that all day
how do we go?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
oh, because of the beach.
Fourth of july, beach for thejuly.
Well, since we talked lastnight, I thought that we could
do a little.
Am I the asshole?
Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Segment it's time and we can am I the asshole?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Nah, settle in.
Am I the asshole for notletting my friend borrow one of
my designer dresses for awedding after she called me
shallow for buying them?
I'm 26, female, have a stablejob, no kids, and I like to
treat myself sometimes.
I've saved up for a fewdesigner dresses over the years.
(31:26):
Nothing outrageous, just ahandful of nice pieces I wear to
special events.
I'm careful with them and theymean a lot to me because they're
things I actually worked hardfor.
One of my close friends, lena 27female name drop, has always
made snide comments about myclothes Stuff like I don't get
how you can spend that much onfabric or I could never be that
shallow.
I usually laugh it off but Ihonest, but honestly it does get
(31:48):
under my skin.
She clearly thinks I'mmaterialistic, even if I've
never judged her lifestyle orher spending habits.
Anyway, she's going to awedding soon and text me out of
the blue asking to borrow one ofmy dresses.
No apology, no acknowledgementof the past comments.
Just you have so many I figuredyou wouldn't mind.
I politely said no, explainingI don't lend them out,
especially for trips where Iwon't be there.
(32:09):
She snapped back and was beingself, said I was being selfish
and dramatic and now a fewmutual friends are chiming in
saying it's just a dress.
But I can't help feeling likeit's like, yeah, they're
(32:32):
expensive and people at weddingslike something always gets
spilled.
It's like it's not bad that youdon't want other people to wear
your expensive dress.
I think that they're youngenough that they could have like
(32:52):
they probably weren't thinkingthey could have.
Just she could have just likebeen honest about really the
root of why she doesn't want herto wear it.
I agree.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
But I don't think she's an asshole.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
No no Cause, I think.
I think, as they would getolder, like no one would even
ever ask that, unless it wasoffered to them, like if you
have a friend that you're likeoh, I'm going to sweating, I
don't really know what I'mwearing.
And you were like oh, my God, Ihave the perfect outfit for you
.
Uh, come over and try it on, orwhatever.
That would be normal, but Idon't think anyone our age would
(33:24):
be like hey, can I borrow oneof your dresses because you have
so many of them?
I think, that would be weird.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
It's just like get your own dress yeah I don't know
, maybe I'm being silly but Iagree, I don't think she's the
asshole.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
No, me, not the asshole and I think that it was
voted yeah people agree with usyes very good okay, next, am I
the asshole for not setting upplans for my friends that I grew
up with.
So quick backstory my friendgroup consists of eight people
Three are married, two are in arelationship and three single
guys.
Every time I try to get mygroup of friends together to go
(33:57):
golfing, get dinner or go dosome sort of activity, I never
get a response.
But when a different personfrom our group wants to do
something, everyone responds.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Golfing Bro.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Also, one person in our friend group has been in the
Coast Guard stationed out ofstate and visits every few
months and when he comes backhome we all hang out, maybe
twice a week, for the short timethat he's back.
So last year around thebeginning of December I called
the friend in the Coast Guardand asked when he would be back.
He said I'm flying back in twodays.
I responded well, hit me upwhen you have some free time and
(34:30):
we can go do an 18-hole course.
He said yeah for sure.
Not even three days later I geta FaceTime from my brother and
he's on the golf course withevery single person in our
friend group.
When I asked why I was invited,they all said we had already
had six people and didn't wantyou to have to rent a golf cart
just for yourself.
So fast forward.
A few weeks ago my friend inthe Coast Guard told everyone he
(34:51):
is leaving the military andmoving back home closer to
everyone.
I told him just to hit me upwhenever he's free.
Again At this point I figuredif he wants to actually hang out
with me he'd try to reach out.
Not even two days after he'dbeen back.
He FaceTimes me with all of ourbuddies and tells me to drive
two hours away to hang out withthem.
At that moment I told them Icouldn't because I was working
(35:14):
the weekend shift at work.
Fast forward to last night Ibooked myself a trip to Europe
in August for about a week so Ican see a Coldplay concert.
This is the straightest man wehave ever read about Wow and
posted it on my Instagram story.
Not even 10 minutes later, Igot a text from one of my
friends asking if I can cancelmy trip, which I have already
fully paid for, just so I canspend a weekend in a beach house
(35:35):
with them and split the amountfor what it costs to rent one.
I told them no, it's out of thequestion.
I've tried making plans withyou guys for years and I'm
always ignored.
So I won't cancel my week-longtrip on the other side of the
world just to stay at a beachhouse for two days.
So am I the asshole here?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Whoa, that was a lot it was a lot.
No, I don't think you're theasshole.
I just think that you don'thave the greatest choice of
friends.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, I just think that you have.
I think that person has adifferent idea of what it is to
be a friend yeah.
And I honestly think that,although he's straight, I think
that he we are kind of like thisperson, Like we are um, like
try, we try to make plans, andif people don't respond, then
(36:19):
like what can you do?
Like he was trying to do that,but it is like annoying that
they're not doing it.
So if you, if there's peopleyou actually he actually is
friends with, I would just liketry to meet with them one-on-one
.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I'm also like the golf thing would have really
upset me.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, it's like what?
No that just means they didn'twant him there.
Yeah correct he if, if it wasone of our friends that we
wanted to be with, we would belike hey.
So here's the deal.
Like we have this amount ofpeople going, um, we want you to
come, but just to let you knowlike it's going to be annoying
with the golf carts, becausehere's the thing, he wouldn't
have to be alone in a golf cart.
(36:58):
They could split up three andthree and also or uh foreign
saying you would have to rentyour own golf cart.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
If I was like oh, the group is seven, If everyone
wants to come, we're just goingto split everything evenly.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Right what.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
And it people, then we'll do uh, four people in one
golf cart three in the other.
I mean, like you're also gonnabe in the same group, right?
So that's not a good excuse.
They were.
They would have been better offbeing like oh my god, we are in
.
Like we totally forgot to text.
You are bad.
Like that would have been abetter lie.
He's not the asshole.
Asshole, it's just like yeahyour friends suck.
Yeah, kind of suck, you're notthe asshole he didn't say how
(37:42):
old he was, cause it seems young.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah, it's giving 25.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Cause I think as you get again, as you get older, I
think that you care less aboutstuff like that.
You're like everyone's busy andif you have stuff planned, like
whatever, and you're too tiredto be like worry about being
petty kind of I don't know.
Okay, last one Am I the assholefor locking the bedroom door
(38:08):
when my husband works?
I have not read this one, so Idon't know what's happening.
I work first shift and myhusband works second shift.
Because of that, I spend nights, a lot of nights, alone.
He gets home around 2am.
I lock the door when I'm homeand he is working.
I would hear noises and be notsure what it was, and I got
tired of checking.
It was usually my cats or anappliance, but I got tired of
(38:30):
checking, so I locked the door.
If I hear a noise, I know wait,so I locked the door.
So if I hear a noise, I knowit's the cats or an appliance
and if not, I have a lockedbarrier between me and whatever
it could be.
And when I go to sleep Iunlocked the bedroom door so he
can get in.
Last night he came hours early.
He was cut from work because itwas extra slow.
I didn't hear him come inthrough the door because I had
(38:52):
the TV and air conditioner on.
If I did hear him, if I do hearhim, I always go out and say hi
and unlock the door, as I do.
But I didn't hear him so Icouldn't.
He tried to get in and foundthe door locked.
It took me a few seconds topause the TV and get my cat off
of me and get uh up to unlockthe door.
He started questioning me aboutwhy the door was locked and
what I was hiding.
(39:12):
I told him I wasn't hidinganything, I just had I lock it
when I'm here and he's working,just in case he doesn't believe
me and thinks I was hidingsomething because it was locked
and I wasn't there instantly tolet him in.
So am I the asshole?
No, no.
He seems controlling and or he'shiding.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Because there's no my bedtime reminder I.
There's no reason for him to be, yeah, wor I.
There's no reason for him to be, yeah, worried he's.
He's projecting for sure.
She was voted not the ass, yeah, yeah and I agree, because I
would do that too, like I don'twant the door to be unlocked.
No, I don't know where theylive.
(39:51):
They could if they live in abig city, especially like, yeah,
people are crazy and wouldn'the want his wife to be safe?
Like does he not have a keyRight?
What it's?
a very weird situation and he'spretty sus and I think he's
projecting yeah, something's notadding up there.
Get him.

Yeah, what do you have to say for this cold open?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hi, I don't have anything.
It's weird, we normally havesomething to say, but You're
right, roll the intro.
Yep, welcome back to the a-listpodcast with allison and alex.
(00:34):
And allison, that's alex.
What are your thoughts on?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
the boo-boos.
Yeah, so funny about that, sofunny thing about that.
I was at the mall yesterday,two days ago, three days ago,
maybe yesterday and is popmaropen who never mind who's that?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
who sells them the store?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
oh, I was at the burbank mall.
Okay, and I was at the burbankmall.
What was I saying?
Labubu, first of all, I don'tknow what they are.
I have seen one tiktok videowith laganja estranja, like went
to some like thing, a buka debeppo, where they have like a
(01:11):
labubu, labububu, whateverthey're called a buka de beppo x
labubu crossover.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yes, that's it, and I was like what is?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
this.
People are like super stokedabout these things.
Anyway, I met them allyesterday and on the bottom
level there's a table set upselling these.
What again?
I don't have much context, butto me, at first glance, they
look like teddy bears dressed upas dogs.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Nope.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
They're tiny little humans dressed up as bears.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
They're neither.
They're like little monsters.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Who are they?
To me, it's just silly bandsall over again.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, okay yeah, it's , it's uh, um beanie babies,
it's whatever the craze is ofthe time.
So it's like some artistcreated this character oh named
labu um, I think it's just labuioo Boo.
I don't know if they have names.
They might, but he created thischaracter and these little
(02:11):
dolls and the fun of it is thatit's a blind opening, so you
don't know what style or whatcolor you're going to get.
I think they have differentcategories.
There's one that's like themacaron collection I hear a lot
of people talking about andthere are like named to like
(02:32):
flavors, and then their colorscoordinate with that, and so you
get the box and you don't knowwhich one you're going to get.
So it's like, oh, I really wantthe pink one, I want the
vanilla whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
So then you buy more capitalism.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yes, so this blind box opening is it's pretty big
in uh like you can buy them atlike the K-pop store or like
that Mini Sue, is that what it'scalled?
I?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's like in the mall with all the little trinkets
and stuff yeah.
Popmart is another.
They're putting one at our mall.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Oh, they are.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And it's like um, I don't know if it's Korean or
Japanese, but little trinketsand stuff like that, that type
of thing.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And there are many varying sizes.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I don't know if there's sizes.
There might be.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I feel like some of them look like their key chain
size.
Yeah, yeah, most, I thinkthat's what they are oh, the
ones at the mall I saw yesterdaywere like I think those were
lefufus.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
They're fakes because I think the only ones that sell
them are pop mart and peopleare reselling them.
So that's also the thing is you.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
They're really hard to get lefufu is a rip of labubu
yeah, it's like the fake.
Those are people call the fakeones oh god, it's not a brand
called no, no.
It's like that.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
No, no, no, it's like the fakes that's a LeFouFou,
because they're so hard to get,because people are buying all of
them up and then reselling themfor more expensive.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
But the blind opening community is big.
Yes, I know.
Do you know?
Have you ever heard of theSunny Angels?
No, it's like those are likethe little, like naked babies
that they're like a little like.
They're little cherubs, likeit's not like like ann getty no,
I'll show you these you knowI'm talking about no, they're
(04:18):
just like little.
Um, yeah, they're like littlecherubs and they all they will
have different like themes also.
And uh, they'll have likelittle cherubs and they all.
They will have different likethemes also.
And uh, they'll have likelittle things on their head.
That is the.
So there's like the fruitcollection and you can get like
the strawberry or the lemon.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
What do you do with these?
They sit on your shelf.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
These are more yeah, they're more like you can put
them like on people like putthem on their phone, hang off
their phone or they just sitthere.
Let me get you, let me show youone you're showing me a lafubu
no, this is the sunny angels ohright this is the flower series,
(04:58):
so, but it's just like theblind opening.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's like you get there and you're like I really
want the pink one.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
And then you're like you like close your eyes and you
open it and you're like oh mygod, I got the one I wanted.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It's not that crazy.
It's not, unlike the videos Iwatch on tiktok of the people
opening pin packs at disneylandit's the same type, it's the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, it's just like oh, I really hope it's jaffa the
labubus got big because Lisaand Jenny from Blackpink they
had them on their Birkins, or alot of celebrities, I wonder if
Labubu paid them to do that?
Maybe Smart.
I think it started spreadingbecause there were celebrities
(05:40):
that had them on their reallyexpensive purses and it was like
why is your Labubu on your?
Gotta get it, yeah.
So I don't know, I don't haveone, you guys, but if you want
to send me one, I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Do you have a favorite flavor you'd like?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I don't no Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I don't care, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But they also the Labubus look, they have like
sharp teeth.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I'm going to be honest, I haven't taken a close
peek at a laboo Now.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'm going to show you this.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, show me a laboo .
I can't believe this is a thing.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Like they're looking scary.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Oh my, and their mouth is like big.
Yeah so they're all that size.
Yeah, the ones I saw werebigger.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, I mean, I'm not an expert on I don't have them,
so I don't know why I'mdefinitively telling you like
they aren't bigger.
I just think that they're not.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
What I saw was not in a blind package, it was like
out on display to buy.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, I think that could be, but I also.
I just think the thing is likethey're so hard to get.
People are like black market orlike meeting up and like
parking lots to buy them frompeople.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You're right, it's too high.
Beanie Babies all over againTyping me.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It is, but I didn't.
I feel like Beanie Babies wereso much easier to get, like you
got them in your McDonald's likeHappy Meal.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
That was what was crazy is because, like people
were going nuts, because somemcdonald's were only carrying
the bowl, but you know you gotto go to travel all around yeah,
I didn't.
We all wish we would have keptthem, you know well, kind of my
brother-in-law did, his mom kept, like all the special edition
ones still in their packaging.
He had a princess diana bear.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
That was the one and they weren't worth anything but
like don't, but maybe they couldcome back around.
Like all it takes is one person.
Like I said, all it takes islisa yeah to put it on her bag
yeah and then it's like beaniebabies yeah, it's so y2k, it's
so whatever you're right, Iloved my beanie babies.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Loved my beanie babies I had a handful.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I wouldn't say I had like a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I had a lot and I had puffins.
Did you ever collect puffins?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
No, was that like a bird?
Well a puffin is a bird.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Puffkins.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Ah no.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I said puffins, but it's puffkins.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Now that you say the kin, I do remember people I
didn't have.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
They were like animals that didn't have like
they were, just like they onlyonly had feet yeah I'm
describing it weird but no, Iknow, you mean so cute.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, I collected those.
I love my puffkins I collectedjust bear figurines for a while,
like that was like my wholepersonality when I was younger
and like I would get bears fromevery did someone call you honey
bear and not stuck?
No, I just was like I want tocollect something and I didn't
know what to do, so I think, onlike one vacation, I was just
like I'm going to make likelittle bear figurines, the thing
(08:28):
.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Cute.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And for a while, like then, everyone was getting me
bear figurines and I don't evencare about bears.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I really didn't stay calm, did it.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Another gone over there I loved to collect.
Loved.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I always had a new collection.
It was marbles.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
It loved.
I always had a new collection.
It was marbles it was um hotwheels, it was locks.
I think hot wheels have had aresurgent.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
They have resurgence because you can get like cool
ones just at, like 7-eleven orsomething I loved hot wheels
maybe you should pick that backup maybe I just don't worry,
keep them, but locks you canmake a little display on a wall
true of like rare fun ones.
I have a gold hot wheelsomewhere.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
That's probably worth something made out of real gold
I think it is yeah that'spretty sick.
Okay, speaking of gold, this islike kind of a good segue make
new friends, but keep the old.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
One is silver and the other is gold For sure.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
So you might have to start using gold when the power
grid goes down and you know,chaos ensues.
Okay, that's not really what.
Well, we do need to talk aboutthat, but today felt apocalyptic
and that's how I'm tying all ofthat together.
There was a really bad wreck onthe 405 at 2 am this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Oh, there was a really bad wreck on the 405 at 2
am this morning.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh, and it was basically like someone wrecked
and I think it was like a singleperson wrecked.
I don't know what the scenariowas Like if they just lost
control.
There was something going on.
A police officer showed up tocheck on this person but he was
alone and it must have been at apoint and they like going
through the canyon.
That was either a hill or aturn.
(10:08):
The police officer stopped andI, based on the picture, I can
see like he was like kind of inone of the lanes, kind of in the
uh hov lane.
he was like diagonal he parkedthe police officer got it okay
parked car diagonal but had hislights on.
Yeah, someone came, I assume,down the HOV lane and like hit
(10:32):
him, so the police officer died.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh my.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
God, I don't know.
Someone else that was involvedin the crash died.
I don't know if it was theoriginal person that crashed or
the person that hit the officer.
I don't know what happened tohim.
Two people died.
The third is like critical orsomething I don't know, I
haven't heard.
I haven't heard past the onearticle that I read, but anyway,
(10:55):
that happened at 2 AM, and sothey shut down the four, oh five
, from a little bit before myexit to all the way down to like
Santa Monica Boulevard orsomething.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
A big chunk of the 405s, so this morning at rush
hour no one could get around.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That's insanity.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
When I tell you that I left this morning because,
okay, I'm getting ahead ofmyself I left this morning.
I went to a CVS to the right ofme.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
They didn't have what I needed, and so then I had to
go the other direction onVentura Forget about it To the
other CVS.
You know I'm talking about theone by party city.
Well, how long, would you say,with no traffic, it would take
me to get from the cvs andencino by amazon press, you know
I'm talking about to the cvs byparty city, which is like
(11:54):
riverside it is um 10 minutes oh, I think less yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, but most 10.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I think five.
I think somewhere around fiveIf I don't get stopped at the
couple lights, if it's just astraight shot down, I think five
minutes.
It took me 30 minutes becauseit was standstill traffic going
down Because how do you getaround to?
(12:24):
If you really need to go south,you have.
I don't even know how peoplewere doing it, like were they
going to laurel to go throughthe canyon that way, or cold
water, yeah, or were they tryingto get to the 101, like I don't
know, but it was, it was insane, like that is why even side
(12:44):
streets like I tried to go.
I was just running errands,which was the worst thing to do,
but like I had to do them, Ialso needed to go to Best Buy
and I was on a random sidestreet by that Best Buy.
That's like this is no onecares where the landmarks I'm
pointing out by that in and out,that's also right there.
I went like side streets aroundand even those were congested.
(13:09):
I couldn't believe it so they,they shut down the 405 yeah,
from like 2, 30 in the morninguntil uh, when I was out, it was
like 11, 30, 12 because theywere investigating I don't know.
Like yeah, I guess, because twopeople that is crazy died, but
like I don't think that's anormal thing.
That happens like if a wreckhappens, even if there's a
(13:31):
casualty.
It's like they get the, theyget taken away.
Yeah, someone comes in to cleanup the car, like the glass and
everything and that never reallytakes that long right, correct?
and also they could have movedthe cars over, because from the
picture I saw it like I said,like they were kind of against
(13:53):
the guardrail and the hov lane.
The 405 is humongous, there'slike six lanes of traffic like
why couldn't?
Yeah, that's the other lanes bebeing used even if they, even
if they close three, three lanes, oh my God.
Anyway, it was a nightmare butthat made me it felt apocalyptic
and it felt like it was lawless.
(14:14):
People were just like drivingwherever they wanted to drive,
my God, turning around, likesqueezing their way into, in
front of people that they didn'tbelong in, and I was like mixed
with everyone, being like thepower grid is going to go down
and we're all going to be in ablackout, and like are you going
to survive Basically?
I'm stressed because you livefurther away now and our plan
(14:38):
can't happen now.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Well, no, because I can't get anywhere.
Someone has to get to me.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I know, but you're now.
You're so far away, it's goingto take us so long to get to you
.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I'll wait yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Someone has to come get me.
I'll drive, but someone's gotto get here.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, my, my car won't work so sure Well but what
I'm saying is people are like,if the chaos we like, we'll have
to walk to you because, likethe, every single road will be
like that, and I'm stressedabout it.
I'm not gonna lie.
I think that I had this happensto me once a year yeah, and
(15:14):
right now it's very fittingbecause it does feel yeah I'm
like crazy right now do I havedo?
How do we survive?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I don't know if it's bad enough, I'll just throw
myself to it, just throw myselfoff the nearest building
whatever the like chaos is, I'lljust throw my body into it
anyway, not to bring it down,but I was.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I could not believe how bad the traffic was this
morning all to just go get somefucking liquid ivs.
And I like a liquid IV.
I just had a really good flavor.
Actually I bought it was like asherbert or a sorbet flavor.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yum, because my favorite is rocket pop.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, rocket pop is great.
I like the original lime.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, that one's good Lemon lime.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Lemon lime and I liked this sherbert.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yum.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
You know how people say sherbet Sherbet, yum what.
You know how people say sherbetSherbet, sherbet, sherbert,
sorbet.
What's the difference?
Sherbert and sherbet are thesame thing.
It's just like a regional.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Midwest way of pronouncing it.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Why.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I like that sherbet ice cream.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Is sorbet, just like fruit and water.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
One is with egg and one is without Egg.
I'm pretty sure it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I'm not looking that up.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Also go ahead.
Let us know in the comments.
Am I wrong?
Well, do you want to bring thatover here?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So my sister's coming to visit this week?
Yes, that'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I'm going to meet her in person.
Speaker 1 (16:36):

Bears and Eagles.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
She should watch Dr Oakley Yukon vet, since she's in
Alaska.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
She would actually like it, like that's definitely
a show that my mom would watch.
She also there was a time umwhere she was watching, just
like davy crockett.
So much just like a tv showthat is davy crockett, you know,
I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I know you're talking he just like walks from like
ohio to new york I don't knowabout that, but he did because,
like he couldn't, there was nodriving and so the whole show is
following his walks, because hehad business to do and he was
like a he's a businessman.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
He was a businessman, davy.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Crockett had business to do.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And he was just like walking like multiple states.
He'd be gone for weeks at atime and would just like walk
across states.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And every episode was a different walk to a different
state.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
No, I don't know what every episode was, but that was
just something that I learnedand I was like that's insane.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Did you ever watch the Beverly Hillbillies?
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Full stop.
That was the question.
Speaker 2 (18:14):

You strap on your shoes and you play tourist.
Speaker 1 (19:03):

I have a pool.
Joshua's pool is actuallybetter.
It's not caged in with one inchof its life, it is caged in,
but it's like a bigger area, soit's like it feels like a normal
way to be caged in Um, but Ithink that the water is still
not safe to swim in.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The ocean or the pool .
Speaker 1 (19:34):
The ocean.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Okay, right, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
So I think we're going to go and like we might,
like you know, walk along theboardwalk.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Uh, from Josh was like we should walk from Venice
to Santa Monica.
Is that a thing that people do?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yes On the on the sand miles on the sand.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Oh, he meant on the boardwalk.
Oh cause it was like you'll see, you'll, you'll see the people
like working out in Venice andlike skateboarding and
rollerblading, and then and thenyou pier, and, like you know,
third street ride the rollercoaster.
(20:12):
I've never done that before.
Is it safe?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
it's safe and it's fun.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
You get to go twice oh, like you get on and then it
goes around, and then they goaround again yeah, because it's
so short that would be thedefinition.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
The rides on the pier are actually really fun i've've
never done any of them.
They're very fun.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, we'll probably do that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
You buy like a wristband for a certain amount
of time.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Okay, yeah, I've literally just walked and walked
back because it's also been Ihaven't been with kids, yeah, so
that, yeah, walker on thirdstreet.
It just like I feel likethat'll just be a fly by the
seat of our pants yeah and thenthey.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
There's a couple other days are you gonna take
them to your new favoriterestaurant there?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
well no, it's not really for kids and I think that
the food they wouldn't careabout.
So it's like it's kind ofexpensive to for them not to
like really eat much.
You know it's because it'sbuffet style.
It's like, yeah, whatever, no,it's an, it's an adult like you
want to be drinking at leastsome champagne, mimosas when
(21:09):
you're there.
Yeah, at least.
So, not yet, but we do have tofind a reason to go there yeah
and then the rest of the timewe'll just figure it out cute,
that'll be fun yeah, um, what,what else?
what's happening with you thisweek?
I feel like now we're talkingabout what's going to happen
Rather than what has happened.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Because we just saw each other 18 minutes ago,
because we just recorded lastnight I'm going, so there's
quite a bit of shoots this week,and then this weekend is my
boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
My god.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
My boyfriend's friend's boyfriend's?
No, I guess that's his friendtoo.
I'm going to a birthday party.
Okay Of a friend, a friend ofmy boyfriend's friend.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Just connected to him .
He is very.
He's got a packed socialcalendar, it seems, or was it.
Is it just like?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
It's just coincidental that there have
been a lot of things.
We are going to have dinnerwith his mom on Friday.
I've had dinner with her before.
She is the sweetest woman ever.
I'm so excited Like she isprecious, so that'll be nice.
He's going to take me to herpart of town and then to a
restaurant that he he worked atwhen he was younger.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
it's their regular spot cute so I'm like I wish I
was a regular and I've neverbeen there to this place before.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I don't know if it's a chain.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It is a chain because there's one in burbank wood
ranch okay wood ranch grill Idon't know me never been, so
anyway it's you'll have to tellme is it the when you go it?
Maybe is it like an applebee'stype, is it like uh?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
to me because you know in burbank, where islands
is across from, it is wood ranchokay.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Is it giving bjs?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
yes, okay to me, but I've never been on the inside,
so please don't be offendedeveryone.
I will take a look at theinside of wood ranch and let you
know.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Okay, I'm excited for you.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I don't even know what kind of food it is when you
hear Wood Ranch.
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
It just feels like a steakhouse.
It feels like a Chili's andApplebee's.
They're going to have steaks.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I feel like it's more like a cheesecake factory.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Oh my gosh, so many options.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, but maybe not.
I don't know A steakhouse,you're right.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Like a nice, like a Texas roadhouse.
You can get a steak, you couldget.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
A blooming onion Yum Maybe.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
They'll probably have their own signature appetizer.
Did I tell you I went to BJ'sfor the first time?
No, what did you get?
Did you get a bouzouki?
We did.
We went.
It was like probably a monthago now, randomly.
Yeah, because we kept gettingads on, like Hulu or something.
So you were like fine, they havea lot of ads that they're
running and we were like youknow what we both haven't been
(23:59):
Like.
Let's go.
I, it was the regular food wasfine.
I got like a pasta, okay, likea.
I think it had like shrimp orsomething in it, like very safe
choice, I feel.
And then we shared a pizookie.
It was sort of a dressed up one.
(24:19):
I think it was like one oftheir, just for a limited time.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
It was like snickers inspired you should have done
the triple.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You get like three mini ones, so you can try three
different ones.
Oh next time.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
We couldn't decide because naturally there was one
that was like strawberry, likefruit inspired, that I was like
that one looks good.
And it was like he.
He thought the Snickers onelooked good.
And there was like another oneand I was like I'm just gonna
like blind there's like six.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
What were you no?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
the ones that we sounded looked, sounded good to
us got, it got it okay, and I,just, like blind, picked one of
the three that looked good to usor whatever, and we ended up on
the snickers one.
You wouldn't have liked it.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
There was nuts yeah, that's not for me but the rest
was good yeah, bj's is good, andI do imagine Woodrange is like
that.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
What's Sharky's?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Mexican Fast food.
So that's Friday, and thenSaturday Is the party, and then

Speaker 2 (26:12):
I sure do.
That's nice, probably going tothe beach.
His best friend lives on thebeach, so they always do a thing
, so I think it's just gonna belike that reminds me I don't
know why, but remember in thehills.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
No wait, you didn't watch the hills no, of course I
didn't watch those.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
there's okay.
Well, adrena is dating justinbobby at this time sorry what
you didn't even know thecharacters they were in the
zeitgeist.
I feel like you were livinghere when they were like I'm
sorry, famous here, justicebobby justin bobby.
Stop, it's not.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
That wasn't his name, but they started calling him
that and then it's, that's funnyit's stuck for the whole series
I want someone to call mesomething like that, and he's
got long, luscious hair and hehas a motorcycle justin bobby
justin bobby.
Yeah, okay, so who was datinghim?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
audrina okay audrina patridge yeah okay, so I know
the name okay, so they weredating but he was a douche and,
um, she invites him to thisbeach party that lauren conrad
is like.
I think brody jenner washosting it, okay, and lauren,
because it was like that timewhere they were trying to make
everyone believe that her andbrody were like kind of dating.
I don't know whatever.
(27:17):
It wasn't real oh it was notreal.
Adrena invites justin bobby andthe whole time she's waiting for
him to show up and then he does, but he's like has like friends
with him.
There's like kind of anothergirl I think he's flirting with
and he is like very like leatherboots because what leather head
to toe he's very leather bootsleather, the house, not boots.
(27:39):
He rides his motorcycle and thenhe like dips out without saying
goodbye to adrena and she'slike crying because they're also
drunk on the beach or whatever.
And there's a famous line oflauren conrad that she's like
consoling her and she's liketelling her that she doesn't,
don't worry about him, he's adouche, whatever.
She's like homeboy or combatboots to the beach and it's like
(28:02):
an iconic lauren conrad linereally yeah, homeboy, or combat
boots to the beach, is it?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
because when I said we'll be at the beach for the
fourth that you were like, well,maybe I'll wear my combat boots
no, I was just thinking of aparty at the beach and that was
like the first, like image thatflashed in my mind.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I can't believe you should start with the hills
right now and I definitelyshould be serious, I think in
laguna beach oh my well, youdon't need to watch laguna,
because now, looking back, theonly reason it's I can still
watch it is because I watched itthen oh, okay I think now, if
you try to watch laguna.
They're in high school and it'sjust like.
They're constantly underage,drinking and just like fighting
(28:42):
about who likes which boy theylike or whatever.
And it's Kristen and Lauren.
They're fighting over one guy,oh, and it's a whole thing.
But because they're young, itjust like it's not.
It doesn't hit the same way, Idon't think now.
So you watching it for thefirst time, I think you'd be
(29:02):
like what.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Like I do not care about this, but if you started
the hills because they're older,they're going to places that
you were going.
Yeah, at the time, like I thinkthat you would are we the same
age?
Yeah, you think I think thatthere might be a couple years
older, one to two years older,but kristin might be close, like
is closer to our age Cause shewas.
(29:26):
I think that I was likesophomore going into junior year
when it was airing the firstseason, yeah, and that's when
Lauren graduated.
But then Kristen was season twowhen she was a senior.
So I think that we are likecloser to Kristen, but I mean
still the same, Like you wereout here when the Hills was
(29:46):
going on they're going to hidethey're going to.
What was the?
What was the name of that one?
Bar Ladoo.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Oh my God, chad was just talking about Ladoo.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
It was the hottest bar and I am so mad that it's
closed Cause.
Like when I moved out here Iwas I was like I wish that I
could go to ladue so bad it'swhere every everything went down
at ladue that's what.
That's what I have been toldthe big fight between lauren and
heidi.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, where she's like screaming at her outside
heidi klum nope heidi oh, heidispencer and heidi, they're from
this show as well.
Yeah, oh my.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
God, oh my gosh.
They, lauren, lived at the, theapartments that are by, um, uh,
by the Grove, yeah, the Brea issomething, park La Brea.
Yeah, I think it might becalled something different in
the show.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
But yeah, it's just iconic and I, I think that I
want just iconic and I, I thinkthat I want, I need you to start
it, maybe I will, so fun, okay,I could talk about that all day
how do we go?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
oh, because of the beach.
Fourth of july, beach for thejuly.
Well, since we talked lastnight, I thought that we could
do a little.
Am I the asshole?
Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Segment it's time and we can am I the asshole?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Nah, settle in.
Am I the asshole for notletting my friend borrow one of
my designer dresses for awedding after she called me
shallow for buying them?
I'm 26, female, have a stablejob, no kids, and I like to
treat myself sometimes.
I've saved up for a fewdesigner dresses over the years.
(31:26):
Nothing outrageous, just ahandful of nice pieces I wear to
special events.
I'm careful with them and theymean a lot to me because they're
things I actually worked hardfor.
One of my close friends, lena 27female name drop, has always
made snide comments about myclothes Stuff like I don't get
how you can spend that much onfabric or I could never be that
shallow.
I usually laugh it off but Ihonest, but honestly it does get
(31:48):
under my skin.
She clearly thinks I'mmaterialistic, even if I've
never judged her lifestyle orher spending habits.
Anyway, she's going to awedding soon and text me out of
the blue asking to borrow one ofmy dresses.
No apology, no acknowledgementof the past comments.
Just you have so many I figuredyou wouldn't mind.
I politely said no, explainingI don't lend them out,
especially for trips where Iwon't be there.
(32:09):
She snapped back and was beingself, said I was being selfish
and dramatic and now a fewmutual friends are chiming in
saying it's just a dress.
But I can't help feeling likeit's like, yeah, they're
(32:32):
expensive and people at weddingslike something always gets
spilled.
It's like it's not bad that youdon't want other people to wear
your expensive dress.
I think that they're youngenough that they could have like
(32:52):
they probably weren't thinkingthey could have.
Just she could have just likebeen honest about really the
root of why she doesn't want herto wear it.
I agree.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
But I don't think she's an asshole.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
No no Cause, I think.
I think, as they would getolder, like no one would even
ever ask that, unless it wasoffered to them, like if you
have a friend that you're likeoh, I'm going to sweating, I
don't really know what I'mwearing.
And you were like oh, my God, Ihave the perfect outfit for you
.
Uh, come over and try it on, orwhatever.
That would be normal, but Idon't think anyone our age would
(33:24):
be like hey, can I borrow oneof your dresses because you have
so many of them?
I think, that would be weird.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
It's just like get your own dress yeah I don't know
, maybe I'm being silly but Iagree, I don't think she's the
asshole.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
No, me, not the asshole and I think that it was
voted yeah people agree with usyes very good okay, next, am I
the asshole for not setting upplans for my friends that I grew
up with.
So quick backstory my friendgroup consists of eight people
Three are married, two are in arelationship and three single
guys.
Every time I try to get mygroup of friends together to go
(33:57):
golfing, get dinner or go dosome sort of activity, I never
get a response.
But when a different personfrom our group wants to do
something, everyone responds.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Golfing Bro.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Also, one person in our friend group has been in the
Coast Guard stationed out ofstate and visits every few
months and when he comes backhome we all hang out, maybe
twice a week, for the short timethat he's back.
So last year around thebeginning of December I called
the friend in the Coast Guardand asked when he would be back.
He said I'm flying back in twodays.
I responded well, hit me upwhen you have some free time and
(34:30):
we can go do an 18-hole course.
He said yeah for sure.
Not even three days later I geta FaceTime from my brother and
he's on the golf course withevery single person in our
friend group.
When I asked why I was invited,they all said we had already
had six people and didn't wantyou to have to rent a golf cart
just for yourself.
So fast forward.
A few weeks ago my friend inthe Coast Guard told everyone he
(34:51):
is leaving the military andmoving back home closer to
everyone.
I told him just to hit me upwhenever he's free.
Again At this point I figuredif he wants to actually hang out
with me he'd try to reach out.
Not even two days after he'dbeen back.
He FaceTimes me with all of ourbuddies and tells me to drive
two hours away to hang out withthem.
At that moment I told them Icouldn't because I was working
(35:14):
the weekend shift at work.
Fast forward to last night Ibooked myself a trip to Europe
in August for about a week so Ican see a Coldplay concert.
This is the straightest man wehave ever read about Wow and
posted it on my Instagram story.
Not even 10 minutes later, Igot a text from one of my
friends asking if I can cancelmy trip, which I have already
fully paid for, just so I canspend a weekend in a beach house
(35:35):
with them and split the amountfor what it costs to rent one.
I told them no, it's out of thequestion.
I've tried making plans withyou guys for years and I'm
always ignored.
So I won't cancel my week-longtrip on the other side of the
world just to stay at a beachhouse for two days.
So am I the asshole here?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Whoa, that was a lot it was a lot.
No, I don't think you're theasshole.
I just think that you don'thave the greatest choice of
friends.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, I just think that you have.
I think that person has adifferent idea of what it is to
be a friend yeah.
And I honestly think that,although he's straight, I think
that he we are kind of like thisperson, Like we are um, like
try, we try to make plans, andif people don't respond, then
(36:19):
like what can you do?
Like he was trying to do that,but it is like annoying that
they're not doing it.
So if you, if there's peopleyou actually he actually is
friends with, I would just liketry to meet with them one-on-one
.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I'm also like the golf thing would have really
upset me.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, it's like what?
No that just means they didn'twant him there.
Yeah correct he if, if it wasone of our friends that we
wanted to be with, we would belike hey.
So here's the deal.
Like we have this amount ofpeople going, um, we want you to
come, but just to let you knowlike it's going to be annoying
with the golf carts, becausehere's the thing, he wouldn't
have to be alone in a golf cart.
(36:58):
They could split up three andthree and also or uh foreign
saying you would have to rentyour own golf cart.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
If I was like oh, the group is seven, If everyone
wants to come, we're just goingto split everything evenly.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Right what.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
And it people, then we'll do uh, four people in one
golf cart three in the other.
I mean, like you're also gonnabe in the same group, right?
So that's not a good excuse.
They were.
They would have been better offbeing like oh my god, we are in
.
Like we totally forgot to text.
You are bad.
Like that would have been abetter lie.
He's not the asshole.
Asshole, it's just like yeahyour friends suck.
Yeah, kind of suck, you're notthe asshole he didn't say how
(37:42):
old he was, cause it seems young.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah, it's giving 25.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Cause I think as you get again, as you get older, I
think that you care less aboutstuff like that.
You're like everyone's busy andif you have stuff planned, like
whatever, and you're too tiredto be like worry about being
petty kind of I don't know.
Okay, last one Am I the assholefor locking the bedroom door
(38:08):
when my husband works?
I have not read this one, so Idon't know what's happening.
I work first shift and myhusband works second shift.
Because of that, I spend nights, a lot of nights, alone.
He gets home around 2am.
I lock the door when I'm homeand he is working.
I would hear noises and be notsure what it was, and I got
tired of checking.
It was usually my cats or anappliance, but I got tired of
(38:30):
checking, so I locked the door.
If I hear a noise, I know wait,so I locked the door.
So if I hear a noise, I knowit's the cats or an appliance
and if not, I have a lockedbarrier between me and whatever
it could be.
And when I go to sleep Iunlocked the bedroom door so he
can get in.
Last night he came hours early.
He was cut from work because itwas extra slow.
I didn't hear him come inthrough the door because I had
(38:52):
the TV and air conditioner on.
If I did hear him, if I do hearhim, I always go out and say hi
and unlock the door, as I do.
But I didn't hear him so Icouldn't.
He tried to get in and foundthe door locked.
It took me a few seconds topause the TV and get my cat off
of me and get uh up to unlockthe door.
He started questioning me aboutwhy the door was locked and
what I was hiding.
(39:12):
I told him I wasn't hidinganything, I just had I lock it
when I'm here and he's working,just in case he doesn't believe
me and thinks I was hidingsomething because it was locked
and I wasn't there instantly tolet him in.
So am I the asshole?
No, no.
He seems controlling and or he'shiding.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Because there's no my bedtime reminder I.
There's no reason for him to be, yeah, wor I.
There's no reason for him to be, yeah, worried he's.
He's projecting for sure.
She was voted not the ass, yeah, yeah and I agree, because I
would do that too, like I don'twant the door to be unlocked.
No, I don't know where theylive.
(39:51):
They could if they live in abig city, especially like, yeah,
people are crazy and wouldn'the want his wife to be safe?
Like does he not have a keyRight?
What it's?
a very weird situation and he'spretty sus and I think he's
projecting yeah, something's notadding up there.
