The Official Cookout Eligibility Exam

This is your sign to text your fave unlicensed therapists. (That’s us).

Sharpen your pencils and pass the potato salad — it’s time for The Official Cookout Eligibility Exam.

We’re kicking things off with a moment of truth and reflection as we honor Juneteenth — a celebration of delayed freedom, erased history, and ongoing resistance. It’s not just a day off. It’s not about hashtags. And Brenda, this is still not the time for red, white, and blue or unseasoned coleslaw.

Then? It’s exam time. We break down the cookout rules that should be common knowledge:
✅ Don’t microwave ribs.
✅ Don’t ghost after RSVP’ing.
✅ Don’t show up with a plus-one and a Tupperware collection.
✅ Don’t bring drama without ice.
✅ And don’t you dare talk Uno trash if you don’t know the rules.

We also spiral into buffet crimes, bidet chaos, house ownership heartbreak, Sonic nostalgia, loyalty tests, Facebook invite trauma, and whether being in your 30s is actually fun or just well-decorated exhaustion.

This episode has everything: history, humor, hot dogs, and hard truths. So pull up a lawn chair, pass the mac & cheese

⚠️ Twin Tangents: Because Therapy Was Booked ⚠️
 Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Unhinged (just a bit).

Hosted by Nalee & Anthony—this is your safe, spicy space to spiral. Expect adult content, hot takes, and high-functioning chaos.

And yes, we call our listeners H.O.E.S.
 (Hilarious. Over it. Emotionally unstable. Spicy.)
 It’s not an insult. It’s a hoe-mmunity.

A bold and reflective summer-themed interlude where Anthony and Nalee unpack what true freedom looks like—setting boundaries, reclaiming time, and showing up for yourself. Backed by a breezy, empowering beat, this mid-roll ties into the podcast's July theme and invites listeners to stay present in their personal growth and expression journey.

Anthony and Nalee open the voicemail box to your wildest stories—friendship red flags, embarrassing vacation meltdowns, or theories too delulu to keep to yourself. With a light, playful sound cue and a promise of (mostly) anonymous judgment, this mid-roll invites listeners to become part of the pod’s chaos. Because your unhinged moments? Yeah, we want those on air.

A playful, no-nonsense reminder from Anthony and Nalee to hit that follow button, leave a review, and share the pod with your favorite chaotic friend. Set over a snappy, upbeat jingle, this mid-roll blends humor and honesty to encourage listener support—because subscribing helps fuel the tangents, rants, and revelations you didn’t know you needed.

Anthony and Nalee take a moment to show love to the listeners who keep the pod caffeinated and gloriously unhinged. This post-roll is a heartfelt (and slightly unfiltered) thank-you, with a nudge to leave a review or share your own stories. Because the real magic? It’s in the feedback, the chaos, and the moments that make you text your bestie mid-episode.

Episode Transcript

Nalee (00:09):
Hey hoes, welcome back to episode 3.
It's Juneteenth, a day forfreedom, facts and fixing your
plate with respect and no Chad.
This is not the day to ask ifyou could bring quinoa Before we
dive into our usual chaos andquestionable opinions and Brenda
, please don't show up in red,white and blue, like you

(00:29):
misunderstood the assignmentagain.
Before we dive into our usualtangents and unfiltered opinions
, we just want to take a quickmoment to acknowledge what today
is really about.

Anthony (00:40):
Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when the last group
of enslaved black Americans downin Galveston, Texas, were
finally told they were free.
That's more than two yearsafter the Emancipation
Proclamation.

Nalee (00:55):
It's a day that means a lot to a community that's had to
fight for recognition, forjustice and for basic human
dignity, and, as a non-blackfolk, it's on us to not treat it
just like it's a day off, butto understand what it represents
.

Anthony (01:10):
It's about freedom Delayed, denied, but still
fought for and still worthhonoring, with more than just
hashtags or cookouts.

Nalee (01:21):
We're not here to center ourselves, but we are here to
say we see it, we honor it,we're learning.

Anthony (01:28):
Okay, real talk.
Growing up, I didn't even knowwhat Juneteenth was.
It wasn't in our textbooks, itwasn't mentioned in school
assemblies, it was just silence.

Nalee (01:40):
Same here.
I didn't learn about it until Iwas grown grown like, rent is
due on the first grown.
And when I did learn about it Iwas honestly pissed Like how do
you leave out that big of adeal?

Anthony (01:52):
Right, it's not just a footnote in history.
It's a whole storyline ofresistance, resilience and
liberation.
And now that we do know,there's no excuse not to name it
, celebrate it and keep learning.

Nalee (02:08):
Not in a let me perform my allyship kind of way, but in
a I want to understand what waserased and why kind of way,
because the erasure was neveraccidental.

Anthony (02:20):
Juneteenth is a celebration and grief.
It's about acknowledging theinjustice and still choosing joy
.
That's powerful and that'ssacred.

Nalee (02:30):
It's also a reminder that liberation is ongoing, that
freedom isn't just a date inhistory.
It's a fight that continues,and it's not our fight to lead,
but we can damn sure support it.

Anthony (02:42):
We can amplify, learn, donate, speak up, sit down when
needed and show up withintention, not ego.

Nalee (02:51):
It's not about being perfect.
It's about being present, aboutbeing better than we were last
year and not just repostingsomeone else's work.

Anthony (02:59):
Exactly so.
No, this episode isn't a fullhistory lesson, but we weren't
going to just gloss over iteither.
That didn't sit right with us.

Nalee (03:09):
So we're holding space for the truth, for culture, for
the joy, and also for mac andcheese with crispy edges,
because, come on, standards.

Anthony (03:19):
Always, always, crispy edges.
We're here to celebrate, notserve up sadness in a casserole
form.
And now, with that respect inplace, let the spiraling begin.

Nalee (03:32):
All right, now let's get into the real reason why y'all
tuned in.
It's time for that sacred list,that holy grail of side eyes.
You already know what it is.
You can't come to this cookout,if.
All right.
But anyways, let's go ahead andstart hurting some feelings.
I'll go first, and if you haveany anthony you could, we could

(03:54):
kind of go back and forth.
But my first one is you can'tcome to the cookout if you
microwave ribs gross who doesthat?

Anthony (04:03):
anybody who microwaves meat, but I do have to ask.
So, is that like reheatingalready cooked ribs?

Nalee (04:09):
no bitch.
It says cook out if youmicrowave ribs.
So that's like okay, you'recooking the ribs in the
microwave, I'm all for likesuperstore yeah, I'm all for
like that chicken bitch no throwthe whole microwave away.
Pass, yeah, but yeah, don'tmicrowave meat Like you, just

(04:29):
don't do that.

Anthony (04:30):
You don't do that.
But then can we also agree thatif you're even considering
microwaving meat, you probablyshouldn't be the one bringing
ribs.
Probably not Stick to the pastasalad.
Get yourself a nice potatosalad.

Nalee (04:42):
Stick to the Walmart deli section, baby.
We love a Walmart potato salad.
Yes, I'm fine with that.

Anthony (04:52):
Go to Texas Roadhouse, buy your ribs and tell us you
made it.

Nalee (04:55):
I would rather have that.
That's a bougie one, though.
Well, I mean, I guess you haveto cover your tracks a little
bit.

Anthony (05:00):
I will take that over microwaved ribs any day.

Nalee (05:04):
Yeah, I mean, if you want it medium rare, it might be
fine.

Anthony (05:13):
Okay.
Well, how about this?
You can't come to the cookoutif you bring a plus one without
asking and they bring their ownTupperware.

Nalee (05:21):
Okay, well, I'm going to speak from like my um, my ethnic
background, like mong peopledon't just bring no tupperware
to know like eat, like outing oreating thingy.
Who does that?

Anthony (05:36):
I don't know.
I mean, I do that when I'mgoing over to like my who does
that?

Nalee (05:39):
I?

Anthony (05:40):
do I do that when I'm going over to my families,
though?
Yeah, like because know that myfamily, like they, make enough
to feed an army.

Nalee (05:47):
Well, I mean any Hmong outing.
You do only go if you know them.
Like, if you go and you don'tknow them, you're just being
rude, Right, but I don't know.
Like to me that's it's a no forme, Like.

Anthony (06:01):
It's definitely a yes for me.
When it's family, I know.
If it's like people I don'tknow or like a friend gathering.

Nalee (06:10):
OK, I mean, on top of that, though, we don't bring
Tupperware, but, like, we alwayscook for a village to like at
our events.
So we do this thing where, likewe actually at the end, where,
like, everybody's ready to gohome, we do separate the
portions out equally and, like,put them in ziploc bags and
whoever wants whatever part,they'll just take whatever they

(06:31):
want and that's fair.
Yeah, that's fair but bitch, ifyou bring a tupperware, get the
fuck out if you're comingprepared you show up right as
everybody's getting ready to gohome.

Anthony (06:40):
Your plus one goes.
Oh wait, I have some old coolwhip containers on the car.

Nalee (06:46):
But I will say there's been like, have you ever gone to
events where you're like, goddamn, I should have like packed
some of that?
Yes yeah, so I'm judging, butI'm not judging well, I'll
accept your judgment.

Anthony (06:58):
Yeah, I could I get okay.
I'm just gonna tangent off onthis because this kind of
reminds me of when I was littleand we would go to Vegas and we
would go to the buffets Like Ihad some family members that
would like.
My uncle would always ask myaunt, did you bring the big
purse?

Nalee (07:19):
Oh.

Anthony (07:19):
And so they would go up to the buffet, bring their
plate to the table, and thenthey would like wrap things in
like napkins.

Nalee (07:27):
Okay, I've done that before at a sushi place and like
shove it in the big purse.

Anthony (07:31):
Yeah, I can honestly say I've never done that buffet.

Nalee (07:37):
I can say I've done that, okay.
Well, I don't know.
I think it was like we went tolike a local sushi place and you
know they have like the all youcan eat, and so then we, I
guess we like you know it's athing with, like your eyes are
bigger than your stomach, so weended up like ordering a whole
bunch of shit, but then, likeyou know, shrimp, shrimp,

(07:58):
tempura, I don't know, you don'teat seafood.

Anthony (08:00):
Well, I eat shrimp and I eat some fish.

Nalee (08:08):
I'm very picky on my seafood.
But they have like the shrimptempura and we ordered like five
and they came with a wholebunch of it.
So then we're like, okay, wemay not want it now, but we may
want it later.
So at that time I brought mybig purse, so then we ended up
wrapping it and putting it in mypurse, and we did wrap some
sushi too, but not a lot.
It was only like maybe likefive pieces.
Oh my God.

(08:29):
But judge me, whatever, I'mgoing to get my money's worth.

Anthony (08:33):
I'm a cheap bitch, I'm just thinking how well does that
carry, it's fine, like did yougo home right away and like
refrigerate it.

Nalee (08:38):
Yeah, we went home right away.
Yeah, okay, yeah, but yeah, butthen I ate it on the way back
home, oh my God.

Anthony (08:43):
You're like, as soon as you step foot outside of the
restaurant, you're like I'mhungry.

Nalee (08:48):
Yeah, so that's pretty much what we did, but it was
only a one-time thing.
We don't do that all the time.

Anthony (08:52):
You know what would be a really good place and time to
do that?
What when you go to thosebuffets that say they're going
to charge you for what you don'teat?

Nalee (09:01):
Yeah, that's what it was.

Anthony (09:02):
Bitch, I would throw that shit in a Ziploc baggie,
throw it in your bag.
Be like yeah, I cleaned myplate, it was good, that's
exactly what it was.

Nalee (09:09):
It was the thing where, like, whatever you don't finish
you pay for, so we're like wedon't want to pay for this, yeah
.
I don't blame you.
I think we had like probablythree rolls left, six rolls.
So then I brought nine, nine,maybe six sushi like rolls or
whatever, and then I took allthe shrimp tempura and that
ended up eating in the car.

Anthony (09:30):
But as much as they charge you, I don't blame you
yeah.
And I think you did the rightthing, especially seeing as how
they're going to charge you forwhat you don't eat.
Exactly it's a buffet thatcompletely ruins and defeats the
purpose of a buffet.

Nalee (09:40):
Yes, of a buffet, yes you shouldn't be charging extra all
right, my next one here.
Um, you can't come to thecookout if you talk trash during
uno but don't know the rules.

Anthony (09:51):
Oh, I'm inclined to agree with that one okay.

Nalee (09:56):
Well, I'm kind of on the fence because you know like
different family plays differentI was just gonna say there's
varying rules.
But I'm not going to lie.
I know the bitches I play withalways fucking cheat so I don't
fucking know.

Anthony (10:09):
How do you cheat in Uno ?

Nalee (10:10):
Well, like I don't know, Like I don't know, I don't know
shit about fuck.

Anthony (10:18):
That's a new one, I don't know, fuck about shit.

Nalee (10:26):
But no, it's like I feel like when you have to draw like,
let's say, there's like 60, forexample, do you guys like um
stack, like the draw twos, thedraw fours?

Anthony (10:33):
yes okay.

Nalee (10:34):
So, for example, if they got like six, draw twos and they
have to draw 12, they only doeight cards like they would
cheat, like that hell, no that Iwill count the cards for you.

Anthony (10:44):
Yeah, I do well, I mean , think about it because it's
that's part of the fun whenyou're like, when you're playing
with a group of people and,let's say, five different people
stacked draw four.

Nalee (10:56):
That's like 20 cards I guess part of the fun is you
like get one?

Anthony (10:59):
yeah, you have to be three mock them for having to
pick up 20 cards which I thinkuno recently came out and
admitted that you're not allowedto stack the draw four cards.

Nalee (11:09):
Where the fuck is the fun in that.

Anthony (11:10):
I know that sucks.

Nalee (11:13):
Well, uno can make their own rules, we can make our own
rules.

Anthony (11:16):
Exactly, everybody does .
Yeah, it's like with Monopoly.

Nalee (11:19):
Yeah, I love Monopoly, we should play Monopoly.

Anthony (11:21):
We should play Monopoly Do you have Monopoly.

Nalee (11:23):
Have you played?
We should play Monopoly.
We should play Monopoly.
Have you?
Do you have Monopoly the app?
No, this is not sponsored, bythe way, but I'm obsessed with
the Monopoly app.
Like, I play that shit like.

Anthony (11:33):
You'll have to send me a screenshot of which one it is.
Yeah, I play it every dayBecause I feel like there's so
many versions out there.

Nalee (11:40):
It's called Monopoly Go.

Anthony (11:41):
I get sick of playing all those free games because
there's so many ads, yeah, andit's like you close out of one
and like another one pops up andit's like I just want to play
the damn game.

Nalee (11:53):
I think Monopoly doesn't have ads, though.
Oh, really, it only has, Ithink, the pop-ups in the
beginning, when, you excuse me,when you initially log in, where
you could buy additional likerolls or stuff like that, but
there's only like maybe one ortwo pop-ups, and then after that
you just keep playing it can wejust agree that these companies
that come up with these gamesand these apps for smartphones?

Anthony (12:15):
if you're going to provide a free version with the
option to purchase things, justdo a free version and a paid
version yeah because if I'mdoing the free version, I don't
want to pay for shit?
Don't advertise Don't stop mygame to tell me that there's a
pop-up and I can win how manyever coins or whatever for $4.99
.

Nalee (12:35):
Yeah, yeah, it defeats the purpose of the freeness 100%
.
Yeah.

Anthony (12:39):
I don't give a shit If I wanted to pay.

Nalee (12:46):
I have exactly purchased a pay option.

Anthony (12:47):
Yeah, but that's just me, no, um, okay, you can't come
to the cookout if you rsvp andstill don't show up.
I feel like yeah, like I feellike anybody who does that no
yeah, like that's the first andlast time I'm inviting you, yeah
I mean especially when youthink about the cost of food and

(13:08):
if you're like having itcatered or and you have to like,
yeah, the.

Nalee (13:13):
The whole purpose of an rsvp is so that because the host
knows how well, so they knowhow much to purchase yeah, I
guess we don't do that in themonk, like the monks don't do
that don't do rsvp yeah, like,but you guys make things in bulk
yeah, we do.
I'm just saying that like wedon't rsvp but we do.
I think a new thing now because, like I don't know about like

(13:34):
invites for you, like when yougrew up, but then for us, like
we would do telephone, we'relike oh, my uncle is calling my
dad to let him know that we havea, uh, an event on June 80th.

Anthony (13:47):
June 80th.

Nalee (13:49):
And then my dad would be the calendar changing in 2026.
But then the he would be like oh, we have to go there on this
event.
And then you know he would belike call your brother, let your
brother, your sisters and themknow, and then my dad would call
my aunt and my uncles and them,and then we would go.
But now I think the commonthing is, because Facebook

(14:12):
everybody has, facebook is justFacebook invite.
And so then if people I knowyou don't do that but if people
invite you on Facebook, theneither you show up, you don't
show up, but I guess you'restill traditional.

Anthony (14:26):
I'm so old school, yeah , I do not like facebook invites
, really yes, because I mean I'minviting you to my birthday on
facebook all right.
Well, don't get mad if I don'tshow up last time I'm rsvp for
you all rsvp is going and thenI'm just not gonna know all
right.

Nalee (14:42):
My last one here is you can't come to the cookout if you
bring drama, but no damn ice.

Anthony (14:51):
I'm split on this because I'm kind of going to
live for the drama, depending onwhat it is.

Nalee (14:56):
Okay.

Anthony (14:59):
And as far as the ice portion of it goes, it's like if
I delegated you to bring ice, Iwould expect you to bring ice,
but otherwise I would think thatthe host or hostess would
already have ice what are yourthoughts on this?

Nalee (15:12):
well for me.
I personally I love drama whenI'm not involved in it.

Anthony (15:17):
I like I'm a popcorn eater on the side same, but you
never know if you're gonna getdrawn into the drama.

Nalee (15:22):
That's the problem, that I always said to you where the
guy in red, he's eating popcorn.

Anthony (15:27):
Isn't that, michael Jackson?

Nalee (15:29):
I don't think it's Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson, he does itlike one by one, but it's the
guy who's fucking going crazywith the popcorn.

Anthony (15:34):
Oh, that's right.

Nalee (15:35):
I love that meme but for me, I feel like when it comes to
family events, I hate drama.
Like I know I don't want.
I know I want to listen to itbut I don't want to see it.
Because the thing is that, like, I feel like when you're doing
events and stuff, it's meant tobe an event to not have any
drama, and people who do bringdrama like stay the fuck home.

(15:58):
Like stay home, because thething is, it's already hard
enough being surrounded bypeople that you know are like
filled with drama, but for themto come and actually start it
Like let's say, like if I did anevent and like this person I
hated came but and they startedshit, you know, like I would be

(16:22):
like go the fuck home right now.
Like what are you fucking doing?
Like yeah but again, if it wasme I would never invite somebody
I don't want there.
So I don't know.
Yeah, I guess it's.
It's a gray area for me that'sgonna haunt me the rest of my
life I swear to god.

Anthony (16:42):
Well, the other thing about that, though, though, is
it really is going to fall backon whoever's doing the inviting.

Nalee (16:51):
Yeah.

Anthony (16:51):
Because I feel like those people that bring the
drama don't know they'rebringing drama or that they are
drama.

Nalee (16:58):
I think that's not true.

Anthony (17:00):
You don't think so.

Nalee (17:01):
No, I know people I feel like people who do bring drama.
They do know they're the drama,but the only reason why they're
coming to it is to bring drama.
You know, if you know what Imean.
Like, let's say, there's this.
Let's say again.

Anthony (17:15):
Even in that case I feel like they know they're the
drama though then again thatstill falls back on the hostess,
like if you know this person'sgonna be drama.

Nalee (17:21):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying I would never invite
somebody who I don't want.
Yeah, they're.
If you know this person isgoing to be drama.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I would never invite somebodywho I don't want there, Like if
I know they're going to be dramabitch, I'd rather not deal with
it.

Anthony (17:28):
Like for example I ain't got time.

Nalee (17:29):
Yeah, for example, if it's my wedding and I know that
I have a friend who's reallyproblematic or like she hates
everybody or everybody hates her, I'd be like I love you, but I

(17:50):
sit out on this one and if shegets hurt I will deal with it
afterwards.
Because the thing is, is thatlike it's kind of like I don't
know?
Actually, I think that's kindof hard now that I think of it,
because what if it's one of myreally close friends?
You know what I mean yeah well,I would.
If that's the case, then I wouldbe like, hey, hey, just give
them a heads up.
Is that yours or mine?

Anthony (18:06):
It wasn't me.

Nalee (18:07):
Oh, I don't know.
Well, anyways, I would givethem a heads up and be like hey,
if you're going to come andcause drama, I would prefer you
to not do it at this event.
You're obviously invited, butjust keep it cool, like that.
Maybe that's what I would do.
I haven't gotten to thatsituation yet, but I feel like

(18:30):
that's how I would approach it.
I feel like that's fair.
Yeah, but then a lot of thepeople that I know, if they know
that people they don't likearen't going to be there
majority of the time they're notgoing to show up anyways.
So I don't know.
It's neither here or there atthis point.

Anthony (18:42):
Great area okay, so let's tangent off on that.
What do you think aboutinviting people who you want to
show up but they're like, oh isso and so gonna be there.
I don't want to go if so, andso is gonna be there that's on
you like does that bother youthough?
Um like, if they're like, oh so, and so is gonna-so is going to

(19:03):
be there, so I'm not going tocome.

Nalee (19:05):
No, not really, Because that's a good thing to bring up
and I'm going to speak on mypersonal, like ethical morals or
whatever.
But let's say, if I have friendA and friend B, right, and
friend A does not like friend B,friend B does not like friend A
, but I'm inviting them both tomy event, there's a couple of

(19:27):
things I'd have to think about,like one how dramatic are they?
How much do they hate each other?
But if they are faced in asituation like at an event, for
me do I feel like they are gonna, if they're capable of being
like adults, adults, yeahults,yeah, and if they can't, then I
probably would invite them.
But if they can't, then I wouldbe like, hey, I'm, I'm letting

(19:48):
you know a is going to show upand I'm letting you know B that
B is showing up too, or viceversa, like I would let them
both know that, hey, you knowthis person's coming is coming.
I just want to warn you.
It's up to you if you want tocome or not, and if they don't
show up to me, it's just a wayof showing that.
Oh, I guess they can't like,value me enough to exactly

(20:14):
respect that, hey, this is forher.
I'm gonna be cordial, I'm gonnashow up and just do my thing
because, um, like me personally,loyalty is a big thing.
Like um, I let a lot of shitslide, my loyalty, like I feel
like I'm a pretty loyal person,but like once I let it slide too

(20:35):
many times, like I don't tellyou, I'm gonna just fucking cut
you off, kind of a thing oh yeah, so like, but the thing is, I'm
cutting you off because I donetold you so many times already
and it's the thing of like, I'mnot going to do this again.

Anthony (20:50):
Exactly.
You can't be like it's a brokenrecord.
I'm not your mom, I'm not yourdad.

Nalee (20:54):
I'm not here to tell you what the fuck to do, but like,
yeah, it comes back again torespect.
If like, oh, you know what,even though I don't like b and
she's showing up, i'ma show upfor my friend and i'ma be
cordial, you know what I mean.
So in a situation like that, Ifeel like that's how I would
approach it, but then again Iwouldn't say it wouldn't be

(21:16):
heard if they didn't show up.
But then I'm just gonna be likeyou know what?
I can understand that she alsodoesn't want to come because b
is here.
But you know what?
It isn't what it is.
If you miss out, you fuckingmiss out.
That's it.
Because what if a famous starcomes and performs at my wedding
and you miss out on that?

Anthony (21:34):
that's on you, boo that's on, you see okay, I would
be bothered though oh, wouldyou would I would be bothered
because if it's like, if it'slike my birthday or you know
some sort of celebration for me,and you, as my friend, can't
come to my event, me, me, me, me, me, because you don't like

(21:57):
other people that are gonna well, bitch, don't talk to him.
Then stand on the other side ofthe room.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you're my friend, support me, show up.
That's true.

Nalee (22:08):
Like I think I had this very conversation with one of my
other girlfriends and my thingwas I personally I don't really
care about like big events, likeI don't care about weddings, I
don't really care about likebirthdays.
I personally like, like for me,like my birthday, like I don't

(22:29):
really care if I celebrate mybirthday.
I don't really care if, like,I'm celebrated, because, bitch,
I already know I'm celebratedevery fucking day of this
fucking earth.
But what I meant was, like Idon't really care to be
celebrated, because to me it'sthe little things that counts.
Like a birthday is a once ayear thing, but you can be there

(22:52):
for me in time of need.
Like let's say it's not mybirthday, but I get locked out
of my car at three o'clock inthe morning at the gas station
and if I could call you and youwould show up to me, that is
more than enough.
That is way more telling thanyou showing up to my birthday
once a year.
So to me, like that's how Ivalue friendship.

(23:13):
Like if you're there yeah, ifyou're there for me in time of
need, and obviously it'sreciprocated.
Like I know I'm a good friend.
I might be tooting my own horn,but I know I'm a good friend
because I do go above and beyond, like sometimes Girl.

Anthony (23:28):
This is a whole nother episode we're going to talk
about.
No, I'm just kidding.

Nalee (23:31):
Sometimes I am a little bit obsessive because I love
love, I love being loved, I lovepeople feeling loved, I love
doing things for other people,you know.
And again, I have a need tofucking please people, so it's
my own issue.
But then like and I guessthat's also one of the downfalls
, where I expect people to belike me.
But you know, everybody'sdifferent and I can't expect

(23:54):
everybody to be like me.
I don't know.

Anthony (23:56):
I mean, my birthdays are just another day.
I don't really give a shitabout them, but, like if I'm
having a birthday party that I'minviting you to, I would like
to think that you could putaside your petty differences
with somebody else to show upfor me.

Nalee (24:09):
Yeah, like, because I feel like just being an adult,
just planning an event in itselfis already hard enough.
Because you're like okay, whatare we going to do?
So everybody likes everything.
What am I going to do so that Idon't have to entertain
everybody?
And like?
It sounds really like stupidand like irrelevant, but it kind

(24:30):
of is a big deal when you haveto like, let's say, if you have
two friends who don't get along,you have to kind of accommodate
to that because you want themboth there but at the same time
you don't want them to get intofights and stuff like that, you
know.
So you know, listeners, likehere's a, here's a question for
you.
What would you do?
What is, what is?
How would you approach that?
Let us know.

Anthony (24:50):
Yeah, write in.

Nalee (24:52):

Well, let's get back on coursehere.
Yeah All, anyway.
Okay.
Well, let's get back on coursehere, alright.
So my last one is you can'tcome to the cookout if you say
Hot dogs aren't real meat Whileyou're eating chicken nuggets.

Nalee (25:21):
Get the fuck out of.
Here Is what I gotta say Amento that.

Anthony (25:26):
I don't know what kind of chicken nuggets you think
you're eating that are real meat.

Nalee (25:30):
All I'm saying is If you guys are saying hot dogs ain't
real meat and y'all ain'tchicken nuggets, girl, you got
another thing coming for you.

Anthony (25:38):
I think that's like a.

Nalee (25:39):
Them little chicken wings and little pieces of feathers
in that nugget.

Anthony (25:43):
I think we need like an educational lesson on hot dogs
and chicken nuggets for thosepeople.

Nalee (25:47):
I love both though, so I can't complain.

Anthony (25:49):
Same.

Nalee (25:49):
Yeah.

Anthony (25:50):
I, but I'm picky on hot dogs.

Nalee (25:51):
I try not to think about it when I'm eating it, because
it's just you know, that thingof like you know.

Anthony (25:58):
I don't even want to go down there.

Nalee (25:59):
I know what you're thinking.

Anthony (26:00):
I don't want to go there.

Nalee (26:01):
But I love McDonald's chicken nuggets.
I love hot dog.
I love me a good hot dog.
I love me a good, fair hot dog.

Anthony (26:09):
Oh, corn dog, Corn dog, yeah With the mustard.

Nalee (26:12):
Yes, everything, everything, chili, chili, dog
are the best.
Yeah, but all I got to say isgirl, it's a no for me, it's a
no for me.

Anthony (26:25):
If you haven't, you need to go to A&W and get their
chili cheese dog.

Nalee (26:28):
Well, I feel like A&W is kind of overrated chili cheese
dog.

Anthony (26:34):
Well, I feel like a and w is kind of um overrated.
I would agree with that but thechili cheese dog is so good.

Nalee (26:38):
I personally the chili cheese fries um.

Anthony (26:39):
I personally like sonic better oh, I love sonic I'm so
sad that it didn't last here,but that was for obvious reasons
that was poor planning why?

Nalee (26:49):
I know they had one in here in eau Claire here, but I'm
not sure what happened to it.

Anthony (26:53):
I don't know the full facts on it, so I'm just
assuming here.
I'm assuming that when you havea restaurant that is meant to
be open 365 days a year, minusholidays, it shouldn't be in the
Midwest.
It shouldn't be in a placewhere, in December, it can get
up to down to negative 10.
Yeah, yeah, you're surprised.

Nalee (27:16):
I love the thought of it.
Yeah, I love the thought of it.

Anthony (27:19):
It would have been nice if they would have like adapted
it a little bit more to maybehave like indoor seating.

Nalee (27:24):
Yeah.

Anthony (27:25):
But I, I don't know.

Nalee (27:26):
I guess Cause like when I used to live in Kansas, like we
went to Sonic all the damn time, but Because when I used to
live in Kansas we went to Sonicall the damn time.
But then again, kansas isfucking hot as hell and they
could afford to skate up to youand give you your shit, but not
up in the Midwest here, god,when they would skate up to you.

Anthony (27:41):
That's really nice.
Fun fact if you go to Augusta,they have a drive-in Like an
old-fashioned drive-in.
They'll walk your order to you.

Nalee (27:52):
And they have the whole tray that sits on your window.
We should totally do a carepisode on that.

Anthony (27:58):
We can discuss that at a later time.

Nalee (28:00):
But yeah, that'd be fun.

Anthony (28:02):
It's not exactly my most favorite place to go.

Nalee (28:04):
Oh it's not.
No, oh wait, well I would.
You can stay in the backseat.

Anthony (28:09):
I'll stay in the backseat.

Nalee (28:10):
I'll get the food for us, yeah.

Anthony (28:12):
Oh, okay, then I would go, but I'm going to tell people
that you're my driver.

Nalee (28:15):
Period I got you boo.
Good luck everybody else.
Oh my God.

Anthony (28:21):
So we love putting each other onto new stuff.
We are going to love startingto put you guys on new stuff,
things that you didn't know youneeded.
So here is our weekly rundownof what's giving us life right
now nollie okay, what do you got?

Nalee (28:38):
yeah, well, for me, um, I'm still currently in vacation
mode, my brain is still invacation mode, but here's some
things I learned while I was onvacation.
Um, so we went to this littletown called the village of
baytown wharf and destined.
It was like this really reallycute area, um, and they have,
like, honestly, the whole timewe were there, I was like they

(29:00):
have really good music and um,one song that came up and I
really really liked it and itwas, surprisingly, by lady gaga.
It was calledake.
I think it's kind of a sad song, but it was really good.
So if you ever get theopportunity or if you ever are

(29:21):
bored and want to check it out,I would say that's a really good
song.

Anthony (29:26):
Is that new?
Is that off her new album?

Nalee (29:29):
To be honest, I'm not sure.
It kind of sounds like her newalbum, but um, let me just see,
it looks like her new album.
Um, I've never even heard ofthat song it came out in 2024,
so it's her, harley quinn, okayso I get it.
It's from her harley quinn umalbum and it's called lady, it's
called lady gaga, it's calledhappy mistake, it's called Happy

(29:51):
Mistake.
But it's really good.
I actually really like it.
So if y'all ever get a chanceto listen to it, I think you'll
enjoy it.

Anthony (29:59):
Okay, are you a Gaga fan?

Nalee (30:01):
I am.
I love Lady Gaga.

Anthony (30:02):
Have you listened to that Harley Quinn album?

Nalee (30:04):
I have not.
That's probably why I haven'theard of it.

Anthony (30:08):
I would have to go back and look, but I'm pretty sure
that's the album that I tried tolisten to.
Okay, and I was so disappointedReally, yeah.

Nalee (30:16):
Hmm, I mean, I think, lady Gaga.
I don't love all of her songs,but obviously I love Shallow, I
love oh.
Who doesn't?

Anthony (30:26):
love Shallow.
Such a good song.

Nalee (30:28):
Yeah, but overall I think I am a Lady Gaga fan.
Um, but I know sometimes hersongs are hit or miss, yeah, and
then my second one, and, like,I've never like tried this
before.
This is also from when we wentto florida, like we went to this
.
It was the same area, but itwas called um, I think it was

(30:52):
called red red slipper let medouble check what the place was
called but it was a restaurantwithin that little area and they
, their specialty was beignets,and I've never had one before,
and so then, um, I think thatwas like a new thing on their
menu and and it was likestrawberries or berries and like

(31:14):
some creamy stuff.
And then they had that, and thenthey also had one that was
covered with powdered sugar andlike it was literally fresh out
of the oven, like when you bitinto it, the powdered sugar like
melted in your mouth.
It was so good.

Anthony (31:29):
Yes.
Yeah, but was it overload onpowder sugar?

Nalee (31:33):
no, it was just really lightly, um lightly on it, so it
wasn't like over, it wasn'tlike an overdose of powder sugar
, it was just perfect.
Okay, it was called rubyslippers, ruby slipper, ruby
slipper, yeah.
And then I tried their tripletrifecta because they're like a
brunch place, okay, and it wasreally good.
And if you like Bloody Marys,oh my God, they had the best

(31:57):
Bloody Marys.
It was so good.

Anthony (31:59):
Was it like the Bloody Mary, with like everything on it
, like the shrimp and the celerystick, the cheese, the meat.

Nalee (32:06):
Disappointingly.
No, that's literally what Imentioned to the girls that was
there that had a Bloody Mary.
I'm like I'm really shockedthat we're in Florida and they
don't have it stacked up Aloaded Bloody Mary.
Yeah, I'm like I'm kind ofshocked, but they had pickled
beans on it and it was so good.
I love pickled beans.
Yeah, it was so good, butthat's mine.

(32:27):
What about you?
Okay?

Anthony (32:27):
Okay, well, hold on.
Let's go back to that beignet.
I do have to tell you, if youlike the beignet I went to and
this is, like I'm sure it's,world famous.
Actually, in New Orleans thereis a place called Cafe Du Monde.

Nalee (32:42):
Okay.

Anthony (32:42):
And they specialize in.
They have a coffee that theymake with.
I don't know.
I have to look at what that is.
I have to look up what that is.
I have to look up what that is.
But they specialize in beignets.
Okay, and they're so good, hot,fresh off the deep fryer.

Nalee (32:59):
powdered sugar, that's so good you think it tastes like a
donut, but it doesn't.
It's like soft, chewy, moist,warm.
It was so good and that says alot because it was like freaking
hot.
When we went and when we ate itI was still like, oh, this is
giving me life.

Anthony (33:19):
It was so good so good you have, you have to go to new
orleans but the one thing that Iwill say about theirs and the
reason I asked about thepowdered sugar was they dumped
the powdered sugar on like.
It was to the point where I hadto like mentally I had.
I had to like focus before Itook a bite because otherwise,
like if you go to take a biteand you inhale, you would have

(33:41):
been all that powdered sugar,okay, okay, okay.

Nalee (33:45):
So that's funny.

Anthony (33:46):
Um, and then for their coffee it's chicory.

Nalee (33:49):
They make chicory, they put chicory in their coffee and
yeah, it was pretty good wow Imean I'm not a really big coffee
person, but I'll have to checkit out because it.
I mean if you could tell by thelistening to my voice, I'm like
jumping off the wall, so likeif I drink coffee.
Yeah, bitch, I'm done like I'mgone, but what about you?

Anthony (34:08):
um, for me, okay, my, my things that I want to put you
guys on to.
I feel like I've mentioned thisto you before in text messaging
, but there is a show on AmazonPrime.

Nalee (34:19):
Okay.

Anthony (34:20):
It's called Overcompensating.

Nalee (34:22):
Okay.

Anthony (34:23):
So funny, okay, so funny.
It's with a guy who I actuallyrecently found out His name is
Benito Skinner.
Okay, guy who I actuallyrecently found out his name is
benito skinner.
Okay, um, I actually recentlyfound out he used to do tiktoks
that I would see when I wasendlessly, mindlessly scrolling,
oh yeah, and then I was likethe one that, like, imitates
kylie jenner a lot, and like thekardashians, is it him?

Nalee (34:47):
I don't think so isn't it like benny?
Some you said, benny somethingright his name is benito skinner
.

Anthony (34:53):
Yeah, I think it's him and like he would do.

Nalee (34:56):
Yeah, he does like little impressions or like little
videos of like he just does likefunny stuff, but I'm pretty
sure that's him like he's doneone of like courtney kardashian.

Anthony (35:08):
He does a lot of like I'll have to look into that, or
of chris jenner.
I know he does a lot of that toothe ones that I saw of him on
tiktok were ones where he waslike going to his he he's, he's
gay, and so he's going to hispartner or his boyfriend's mom's
house and he was always likemean to her and like saying rude

(35:33):
things.
And I never liked the tiktoks,I never liked them.
And so when I found that outthe other day I was like, oh,
it's a little disappointingbecause I like the show but I
didn't like his little him.
Yeah, his tiktoks, I didn'tlike those.
But the show is so funny.
It's, from what I understand,it's actually kind of
autobiographical, okay, and soit's basically him going to

(35:56):
college as a closeted gay man,oh, okay, and so he's trying to
be the high school jock and he'strying to be the jock in
college, but he's also wrestlingwith his sexuality, okay, and
anyway, it's really funny.
Highly recommend it.
I can't stop watching it.
Anyway, it's really funny,highly recommended.
I can't stop watching it.
It's so funny.

Nalee (36:17):
And I heard that they were already renewed for a
second season wow, good for him,hopefully I mean, I don't know
if that's factual or not, but Ithink they did a lot of promos
on um instagram and stuff andtikt yeah and before I started
watching it, I kept seeinglittle clips around TikTok and I
was like oh my God, what isthis show?

Anthony (36:36):
It looks so funny, and so I finally watched it on
Amazon Prime and it was amazing.

Nalee (36:43):
Is it giving like that one TV show where the girls are
in college?

Anthony (36:47):
The Sex Lives of College Girls yeah is it giving
that?
No, I think that that had morelike serious, like plot lines
and like relationship things,and I think this is just meant
to be him kind of reliving orrehashing his college experience
.
Okay, oh, interesting and likeI don't know coming to terms

(37:10):
with it.
I guess it's more of his likecoming out story, but it's more
of the short stories along theway.
Okay, that's funny yeah.

Nalee (37:19):
Okay, I'll have to check that out.

Anthony (37:21):
So highly recommend that to you, to all the
listeners out there, and theother one that this is going to
sound so nerdy and you're goingto laugh at me, for it Okay,
we'll see.
I hate reading.
I've never been good at reading, just don't like it.
I'm shocked.
I open a book and I normallyfall asleep, okay.
And so I told myself you knowwhat?

(37:43):
I'm going to try Audible anddoing audiobooks.
Well, what I found out withthat was I don't have the
attention span to just like sitthere and listen to the book and

(38:04):
like understand what's going onand painting a picture in my
head, and I can't listen to abook while I'm doing other
things, because then I startfocusing in on those things.
So what I've started doing nowis I actually bought a physical
copy of the book and I willlisten to the book while quote
unquote, reading it andfollowing along.
It seems so childish, but it'sa huge game changer because I

(38:27):
don't know, mentally it justmakes things easier, I guess.
For me me personally, but Ihighly recommend that to anybody
who's not able to read a book,not able to just simply listen
to an audio book.

Nalee (38:40):
put them together and see if that makes a difference.
That's very interesting.

Anthony (38:44):
Yeah.

Nalee (38:45):
Okay, I'll have to try that sometimes too.
I mean, I'm also not a reallybig book reader.
I'm those bitches where, like,I'd read a paragraph five times
and still be like wait, what didI just?

Anthony (38:54):
read I don't get it yeah.

Nalee (38:57):
I'm the same.
I've always wanted to become aperson who read books, or a
person who goes to the airportand they're reading books.

Anthony (39:08):
I've always wanted to be like that.

Nalee (39:09):
but I'm like nah, that's too serious for me.
But like I think, as I growolder now, like I've come to
realize that it's actually kindof it seems relaxing and kind of
peaceful, like you're notconcentrating about the noises
around you, you're just focusedon what you're doing, you know.

Anthony (39:26):
And I think the trick is finding a book or something
that you'll be into.

Nalee (39:30):
Yeah, yeah, I think that'll help us, like focus.

Anthony (39:36):
yeah, because it's like you're doing double the work,
like you're reading and you'relistening to it right you know,
so you're just kind of gettinginto it, yeah and it's like when
you're like, eyes are followingaround with the words on the
pages.
You don't necessarily have tofocus as hard when, if assuming
that you're listening to thebook as well, because they're
doing all the hard work for you.

Nalee (39:58):
Yeah.

Anthony (39:58):
In actuality.

Nalee (39:59):
Yeah, that's, very true.

Anthony (40:02):
But I'm the same way.
I was never a reader, Didn'tlike reading.
I told myself this year that myNew Year's resolution was going
to be I was going to read onebook a month.
Okay, let me rephrase that Iwas going to read and or listen
to one book a month, and so farwe're in May and I've only done
one book, so that New Year'sresolution is already a flop.

Nalee (40:25):
I mean, one is better than none, that's true.

Anthony (40:27):
So I guess you still should give yourself a little
bit of credit and I'm finishingtwo.
I'm on my way to finishing two.
How many pages is this book?
10, though.
No, it's like 300.
Perfect, yes, yeah, I'mactually reading and I don't.

Nalee (40:43):
You haven't watched the summer.
I turned pretty, have you?
No, I feel like it's so.
It looks so boring it's so good.

Anthony (40:48):
It's so emotional.
It's an emotional rollercoaster, is it?

Nalee (40:52):
Yeah, what is it even about?
I mean, obviously it soundsobvious in the title, but you
know, sometimes like you cannever tell, Okay.

Anthony (41:02):
So how do I okay?
So it's about these twofamilies that go to the same
beach house every single year.

Nalee (41:13):
Okay.

Anthony (41:14):
And the moms are best friends.
So it's one mom, susanna.
She has two boys okay and thenthe other mom.
Her name is laurel.
She has a boy and a girl okayand so they get together every
summer, same beach house, makememories.
It's the tradition, they it'son the ocean and it's beachfront

(41:37):
.
It's so beautiful you have.
I highly recommend watching theshow.
Okay, because it adds so muchmore when you go to read the
book, because then you can kindof put faces to it is that the
book that you're reading?
that's the book that I'm right.
Well, I'm actually reading thesecond one now, which is called
it's not summer without you,okay um but there's gonna be a
spoiler alert here, okay, so theboy's mom her name is suzanna

(42:01):
and she has cancer and she beatit, but the cancer returns, oh,
and she passes away.
Okay, but it's one of those.
It's.
It's a young adult book, so okay, for what that's worth we're
young adults, almost 40 readinga young adult book, but it's,
it's I don't know, it's just sonice and you know, it goes

(42:22):
through the whole relationshipand it shows all the ups and the
downs and different emotionsand, like I said, it's an
emotional roller coaster.
And anyway, laurel's daughterhas a thing for Susanna's oldest
boy.
Oh, okay.
And so then there's that, thattension, that love tension, yeah
, and then at some point itbecomes a love triangle between

(42:44):
the two boys, the two brothers,yeah girl bye, give me both.

Nalee (42:50):
Why does it have to be a triangle?
What, yeah, what can it besomething?

Anthony (42:57):
else.
But yeah, it's just, I don'tknow.
Okay, the show adds so muchokay I'll have to look it up.

Nalee (43:04):
I mean, every time I look at it I'm like it looks so
boring, but that's pretty muchlike Handmaid's Tale.
I thought it was going to beboring or kind of scary, but it
actually I don't know, I haven'teven, I haven't even have you
watched any of this season?
No, I've only watched episodeone of season five because I

(43:27):
don't want to be disappointedand somebody gave me a good idea
to just wait.
Excuse me, wait until like allof it all of it comes out so I
could watch it all in one.

long time for it to finally comeout, and if it sucks, I'm going

say that, like I think it isreally true the saying of like
30s are your prime, like I'mstarting to kind of feel that
you know, I mean, you're rollingyour eyes over there no, no,
I'm sitting here trying not toget teary-eyed because I always
used to say that too.

Anthony (45:34):
I was like you know I, when I turned 30, that was like
huge for me.
I thought I was gonna have likea mental breakdown, okay.
And then I turned 30, and thenI don't remember who it was I
saw somebody say that the 30sare like the prime of your life.
That's when you're gonna havethe most fun yeah and here I am.

Nalee (45:52):
Is it true?

Anthony (45:53):
I don't feel like it is really I'm, I'm, maybe I'm just
a boring person.
I don't feel like my 30s havebeen as I feel like you've tamed
down a lot, though yeah likeyou've, definitely like matured.
Yeah, I think that's what it is.
I think that's what's wrongwith me.
Yeah, cause yeah, I used tohave fun, you used to.

Nalee (46:16):
I feel like you do have fun.

Anthony (46:17):
No, I still have fun, but it's a different kind of fun
.

Nalee (46:19):
I guess it's an adult kind of fun, yeah, yeah.

Anthony (46:27):
Because, like I used to go out every weekend, friday,
saturday oh yeah, just drank,get my party on.

Nalee (46:30):
I mean, you still drank, you just don't get your party on
.
No, but now I know how to limitmyself.
Yeah, that's like before I madebut isn't that a good thing, or
do you not want to limityourself?

Anthony (46:39):

of it's a good again going backto what was that, our first
episode that we were talkingabout.
Everybody makes mistakes whenthey're young.

But to all those bitches whotold me to get a fucking house,
it'll be better, fuck you,because it's been a disaster
getting a house like being ahouse owner.

Anthony (47:24):

Nalee (47:26):
No, for me.
I feel like it.
I mean, granted, I think it wasour fault, I think our scenario
was kind of fucked up, but Idon't know.
Like I love being a house owner, I love the privacy, I love the
being able to do whatever youwant, but like I don't know,
it's been rough been, it's allthe extras that you didn't take

(47:47):
into account, like yeah, likesomething broke, you had to be
responsible for it.
Yeah, clean and it's not a wop,it's not a cheap little hundred
dollars, it's like no, it neveris the dollars.

You know what I mean downfall with owning a house is
like oh, your hot water heaterwent out.
There's how much money.

that.

Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom hasn't looked the
same for everyone and historydoesn't start or end in
textbooks we're not here tocenter ourselves in this moment,
but we are here to recognizethe importance of honoring black
history, supporting blackvoices and staying intentional,
not just performative socelebrate with purpose, learn
something new, support a blackcreator or business and maybe

(52:44):
maybe think twice before showingup to a Juneteenth barbecue
with unseasoned anything.
Look, we love a good cookoutplaylist and a fire pit, but if
your celebration starts and endswith an Instagram post, baby,
you're missing the point.
Learn the history, not just aTikTok dance.
Support Black-owned, yes, andeven if it's not trending.

(53:07):
And if you're going tocelebrate the culture, do it
with intention, not imitation.
Don't just eat the food.
Respect the recipe.

Anthony (53:15):
So yeah, buckle up, because we're not holding back.
Catch you next week.
Bye.
