In this episode, we dive into the chaos of house fails—those moments where everything that could go wrong does. But it's not all disasters and duct tape. (Thank goodness!) We also share stories about meeting amazing new people, the little (and big) things we do to brighten someone’s day, and what it feels like to truly know and connect with everyone around us. It’s a mix of laughs, warmth, and maybe a few lessons learned the hard way. Tune in for the fails, stay for the feels.

with lifestyle stories, personal stories, and a roundup of stories
Wendy talks about on the radio. Here's Wendy. How did
my eyeliner come out today? Much better? It's better? Right?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I love it because I was looking at this video
I put.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Up this week. Yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It was thick.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
It was thick, but it also had like like broken hearts.
Do I look like a hot mess? Well, you're like
the ic liner queen here.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, I've been wearing an eyeliner since like the seventh grade.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Can you show me how to do it? Yeah? I
mean I think it's better today, but I really need
I like bought the same product as you said. I'm
like ready. I feel I'm ready for my makeup lesson
and I feel like you.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I feel like you're like, oh, what's that lipstick?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I want to buy it?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I know. I'm like, I'm like, hey, can you can
I just like make an account for Jake crew Soria
how you put things in my car? Because I just
I don't know what like. I don't know if it's
just my being self conscious, but I feel like I
never feel quite put together and you always look put together. Well.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I also wake up at the crack of dawn, and
I wake up around five thirty five forty five most days.
And I wake up, I take a shower and just chill,
and then I make my coffee and I put my
littletion on.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Okay, so this is like a ritual almost you're getting
ready in the morning. Is is a slow not rushed.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
No, but my showers are like ten minutes, okay, unless
I'm washing my hair and it's like thirty minutes. My
hair is a freaking nightmare.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
No one I'll ever see your hair curly. No, I
sort of saw it for like a minute, a minute,
a minute. We should probably say Danielle Delilo is joining
us today. Oh, because you know we had we had
Rupee Rupert's He's like when I call him Rupe, Oh,
I call him Rupe all the time. Rupert was on
the last two episodes and then I ran into him
in the hallway and he's like, you're gonna have Danielle
back today. People have been asking about you. Oh, people
(02:05):
have been asking.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Really, Oh, I love that.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's cute. We have a lot to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I know there's so much and actually, like for once,
I feel like usually it's like my stories and then
your story, but this time I feel like we have
a lot of stories that are intertwined. Yeah, and where
should we begin?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I don't know my panic attack this week?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Which one?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Which one?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
That's right? So you know, it's funny. I feel like
if I ever have some sort of weird anxiety moment,
and I do have a lot of these, Like in
all seriousness, when my anxiety attacks, it's usually three o'clock
in the morning, I wake up if I was even
sleeping in all I'm sweaty, and my heart's racing, and
I and this poor little cat is working over time
(02:47):
because he knows, and he comes over and tries to
comfort me. He lays on my heart, He does all
the things he's supposed to do. I just know that
if I really needed to, I could probably text you
at three in the morning and you would respond, yeah,
I'm usually up, but yeah, thankfully this week I waited
till six thirty seven to text you. What was the
first things? Oh, well, we'll talk about the house.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We'll talk about the house, Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So I I locked myself out of the house.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I can't I still can't believe you did that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
That is so funny.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It wasn't even like I forgot my key. I it
was the screen door. I must have locked it. There's
like a latch un knowingly. Yeah, I think I just
hit the latch and then left. And I was doing
some stuff in the backyard and then I went to
go back inside and I couldn't get in. Phones inside,
keys are inside, no spare key, insight, no one around
(03:40):
to rescue me that has the other key, and I
panicked and ripped the door handle off.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You know what when you sent me that picture, I
was like, did you do this on purpose or did
it just fly off?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
No, I went I panicked and I grabbed it and
I just started pulling as hard as I could, and
that you know, in the door, when the mechanism is locked,
you can't do that. No, So I mean probably the
the solution probably would have been to get in touch
with someone who had my spare key and to go
in the front door, but I didn't. I didn't do that,
so instead I use my apple Watch, Thank God, thank.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
God for the Apple Watch.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
And I'm like, call locksmith, call handyman, and the handyman,
and can I tell you I've used this guy host
Sway a few times. He is like, I know he's local,
that's why. And also you know the fact that I
pulled the handle off the door, I figured I was
gonna need him anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, he came.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
He's like he sounded I mean he heard the distress
and oh my god. He's like, I'll be right there.
He showed up in like ten minutes and he just
ended up taking the door off the hinges and got
me inside. Then the locksmith came and he had to fix,
like I really did some damage on that door. But
while host Sway was at my house, I was like,
let me make it worth well. He didn't want to
(04:53):
take any money. First off, I like, venmowed him. What
a nice guy, I know. So I venmo him and
I'm like, you know, while you're here, like I have
a whole bunch of little projects for you. You know, let's
like while you're here, let's go through them. So make
it worthwhile for him. And I'm going through I'm showing
him the creaky floor on the second floor. I'm showing
him directly beneath that this big crack in the ceiling.
(05:13):
Who I've showed to everyone. It always concerns me, but
everyone's like, yeah, it's just it's how settling. Yeah, right right,
And he's looking at these two things, and he's like,
this could be a structural issue. Oh and jeez, you
know that I've been through like so much with this
house and I've been trying to handle everything myself. And
(05:36):
you know, he didn't say yes or no. He said,
we need to open it up and see what's going
on in there. And then he at first he was
gonna open up the floor, and then he's like, well,
we could probably go in through the closet. And you know,
just hearing that there could be a possible horrific thing
wrong that could be very expensive and a long project.
I freaked out and I thanked him and I said, Okay,
(05:57):
come back on Sunday. You're gonna open the floor. And
then and the next day I texted you early morning.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I still couldn't believe what happened.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
So but you had a solution for me, I did, Yeah,
And you know what it was, Eddie, call my guy Eddie.
I just want to say, I think a lot of
people have that one friend who has a guy for everything. Yeah,
a guy or gal for everything. Yeah, you know everybody.
I do. So how do you? How do you know
Eddie from It's Edge right, Edrey Modeling?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, yeah, edgrem Modeling.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I know Eddie since he was in seventh grade and
I was in eighth grade at Swanica High School. And
when he started playing football in eighth grade, I was
his cheerleader and I would say a cheer for his name.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
He would do it. Oh my god, do you remember it? Yeah,
of course I remember, like tik tik tik tik, boom dynamite,
boom boom dynamite. Was it that?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, it was Eddie Marquez.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
He's the best, He's better than the rest. He will
fight with all his my foot foot then white whoa, Yeah,
I love that, tell you what?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah? That was?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
It's okay. That was actually probably when I was like
like ninth or tenth grade, to be honest with you.
But yeah, so ever since then, I mean, I've known
Eddie and he's done stuff for my cousin and some
other friends and family.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
He was showing me his work it's like these are
million dollar houses. Yeah, he's working on like completely renovating.
You know, he's no joke. I feel like, but with
my house, Like there's nothing wrong with my house, but
it is not like the ones in his portfolio, right right.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Well, listen, you know, not everyone has what everybody else has.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
But I love Eddie and I texted him right away,
and he texted me right now.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
He was also up. I'm like, why are these people
early risers? We chatting at seven in the morning.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Mm hm.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And you know, I'm sure you were side texting him saying, hey, listen,
I have this friend. She has massive anxiety. No, and
I didn't say she basically needs someone to look at
her house and tell her the roof is not crumbling,
because can I tell you, I these are my This
is what I dream about. I dream about the ceiling
collapsing on me, which I'm sure has like a deeper,
darker meaning.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I stopped dreaming that stuff because that's ridicolas.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
So you went with me to pick up my prescription
the other day, so oh you're lucky. I love you.
So hopefully the nightmares will stop it. So Eddie, Eddie,
offered to come that same day.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Wasn't that nice of him?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
What? What a guy?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
What a sweethew?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
What a guy. So he shows up and we walked
through the house. I show him my concerns and he
goes to me, you know what, have your guy open
it up if it's non invasive, because you can go
through the closet like just kind of like lift the
thing aside. He is, but I really don't think he's
gonna find anything. He's like, I know, howses. He was
pointing out all the things as we were walking through.
He's like, oh, so this slopes a little bit. Yep,
that's normal. That slopes like that. That's normal. And I'm like,
(08:50):
do I need to like support my house? Is it crumbling?
Houses don't crumble like that? He he basically just walked
through and and just ease my anxiety. And he said
to me, I don't think this is a case of
structural issues. I think this is a case of this
old house, which I can live with. I know my
(09:11):
house is old, So if it doesn't need an immediate attention,
that's music to my ears, because I can deal with
things if it's on my timeline. But if it's like
an emergency situation like the ceiling's gonna crumble on me
and my little baby cat. Oh Holly, yeah, I know.
So we're gonna have Hostway's gonna come back on Sunday. Okay,
he's got some smaller things to do. Okay, But I
(09:33):
feel a lot better knowing that likely things are gonna
be okay, and if they're not, we can call Eddie
back if it's something that Hostway.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Can at and then any of the thing that you
need done, Eddie, you'll do right exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And we actually believe it or not, because I have
not been able to discuss any of the fun stuff.
I thought when I moved in, I was like, yeah,
I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna take the wallpaper off,
and I never got to do that because everything started happening.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Is they're a year already.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, Well that's how houses go crazy. You get you
have to replace all the things that are pressing the
water heater, yeah, a lot of the plumbing. Yeah. So
so we actually had to We got a chance to
sit down and discuss some of the fun stuff. And
I think he's gonna come back in June and Bruce
the place that I come over. I know you'll have
(10:20):
to take like ten Clarreton. I know by the way
Ali was performing for him. It was so cute. I
was dying because I'm like, this is my cat, this
is like my everything. Like Ali sit and he sits
like Alli, give your paw, and and Eddie's just like
is that a cat or a dog? Ah? Yeah, that
(10:42):
was great.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yesterday was fun when we went to meet Rends.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
So we went on a field trip and that was
a fun field trip. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
We went off campus yesterday because I needed to pick
up my anxiety prescriptions and we were on the longest line.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Gave us anxiety, and the people in there. I don't
understand how people always angry.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It wasn't that. So you know what's funny. I actually
filled out a survey.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
You did, I did? Oh man, I wish I had to.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And I was brutally honest. I said, you know what,
your employees are overworked and understaffed, and it was an
uncomfortable environment. And no fault against the employees, but customers
were shrieking at each other, yelling at your employees. I
think they were doing their best, but by the time
you get up to the counter, these people have had
enough peopling, and it's very obvious.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Remember when I asked, I was like, and you had
a question about drug interactions, and the guy's like, yeah,
you have to go over there, Like I should know, right,
and I'm actually nice, So I was like, whoa.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Okay, Like he should have been a little bit nicer
about that.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, he should have been like, oh, you'll have to
speak with the person, like right over there. How am
I supposed to know?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
So how are you supposed to know?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But you know, after that whole ordeal, and that's a
good friend, somebody who waits with you through that, we
treat ourselves to.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Coffee and well, thank you for the coffee. It was delicious,
Well thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
But then I introduced Danielle to this underground what do
you call it? Like shopping area?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, it's like this, I think the market.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, but I think it's I think it's actually called
underground market. Not far I think so actually not far
from the radio station. And it's like on the way
to the fifty ninth Avenue, fifty ninth Columbus Circle subway.
And I wanted to stop by Lush to get my
friend to gift and we had such an experience. Wasn't that.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I loved Lorenzo and the whole staff at Lush was
so nice.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
But when you so, this is what I always do.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I walk into a room or wherever and I'm just.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Like, hey, how you doing?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
You know, and people feed off that energy. And he
was so reciprocal to that.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
You know, I've noticed at Duncan. Yes, they were like, ugh,
like wow, like you were coming into brighten up the room.
He wasn't not polite, but he was just not like.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
He was like not feeling.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Usually I see people light up when you do that.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Well you know.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah. But anyway, Lorenzo and like the rest of the
girls working at the store, they were like ready for
the double D energy.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Hey, I'm ready for it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And Lorenzo's getting us like free samples.
Speaker 2 (13:18):

never feel quite put together and you always look put together. Well.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I also wake up at the crack of dawn, and
I wake up around five thirty five forty five most days.
And I wake up, I take a shower and just chill,
and then I make my coffee and I put my
littletion on.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Okay, so this is like a ritual almost you're getting
ready in the morning. Is is a slow not rushed.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
No, but my showers are like ten minutes, okay, unless
I'm washing my hair and it's like thirty minutes. My
hair is a freaking nightmare.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
No one I'll ever see your hair curly. No, I
sort of saw it for like a minute, a minute,
a minute. We should probably say Danielle Delilo is joining
us today. Oh, because you know we had we had
Rupee Rupert's He's like when I call him Rupe, Oh,
I call him Rupe all the time. Rupert was on
the last two episodes and then I ran into him
in the hallway and he's like, you're gonna have Danielle
back today. People have been asking about you. Oh, people
(02:05):
have been asking.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Really, Oh, I love that.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's cute. We have a lot to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I know there's so much and actually, like for once,
I feel like usually it's like my stories and then
your story, but this time I feel like we have
a lot of stories that are intertwined. Yeah, and where
should we begin?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I don't know my panic attack this week?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Which one?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Which one?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
That's right? So you know, it's funny. I feel like
if I ever have some sort of weird anxiety moment,
and I do have a lot of these, Like in
all seriousness, when my anxiety attacks, it's usually three o'clock
in the morning, I wake up if I was even
sleeping in all I'm sweaty, and my heart's racing, and
I and this poor little cat is working over time
(02:47):
because he knows, and he comes over and tries to
comfort me. He lays on my heart, He does all
the things he's supposed to do. I just know that
if I really needed to, I could probably text you
at three in the morning and you would respond, yeah,
I'm usually up, but yeah, thankfully this week I waited
till six thirty seven to text you. What was the
first things? Oh, well, we'll talk about the house.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We'll talk about the house, Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So I I locked myself out of the house.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I can't I still can't believe you did that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
That is so funny.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It wasn't even like I forgot my key. I it
was the screen door. I must have locked it. There's
like a latch un knowingly. Yeah, I think I just
hit the latch and then left. And I was doing
some stuff in the backyard and then I went to
go back inside and I couldn't get in. Phones inside,
keys are inside, no spare key, insight, no one around
(03:40):
to rescue me that has the other key, and I
panicked and ripped the door handle off.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You know what when you sent me that picture, I
was like, did you do this on purpose or did
it just fly off?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
No, I went I panicked and I grabbed it and
I just started pulling as hard as I could, and
that you know, in the door, when the mechanism is locked,
you can't do that. No, So I mean probably the
the solution probably would have been to get in touch
with someone who had my spare key and to go
in the front door, but I didn't. I didn't do that,
so instead I use my apple Watch, Thank God, thank.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
God for the Apple Watch.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
And I'm like, call locksmith, call handyman, and the handyman,
and can I tell you I've used this guy host
Sway a few times. He is like, I know he's local,
that's why. And also you know the fact that I
pulled the handle off the door, I figured I was
gonna need him anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, he came.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
He's like he sounded I mean he heard the distress
and oh my god. He's like, I'll be right there.
He showed up in like ten minutes and he just
ended up taking the door off the hinges and got
me inside. Then the locksmith came and he had to fix,
like I really did some damage on that door. But
while host Sway was at my house, I was like,
let me make it worth well. He didn't want to
(04:53):
take any money. First off, I like, venmowed him. What
a nice guy, I know. So I venmo him and
I'm like, you know, while you're here, like I have
a whole bunch of little projects for you. You know, let's
like while you're here, let's go through them. So make
it worthwhile for him. And I'm going through I'm showing
him the creaky floor on the second floor. I'm showing
him directly beneath that this big crack in the ceiling.
(05:13):
Who I've showed to everyone. It always concerns me, but
everyone's like, yeah, it's just it's how settling. Yeah, right right,
And he's looking at these two things, and he's like,
this could be a structural issue. Oh and jeez, you
know that I've been through like so much with this
house and I've been trying to handle everything myself. And
(05:36):
you know, he didn't say yes or no. He said,
we need to open it up and see what's going
on in there. And then he at first he was
gonna open up the floor, and then he's like, well,
we could probably go in through the closet. And you know,
just hearing that there could be a possible horrific thing
wrong that could be very expensive and a long project.
I freaked out and I thanked him and I said, Okay,
(05:57):
come back on Sunday. You're gonna open the floor. And
then and the next day I texted you early morning.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I still couldn't believe what happened.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
So but you had a solution for me, I did, Yeah,
And you know what it was, Eddie, call my guy Eddie.
I just want to say, I think a lot of
people have that one friend who has a guy for everything. Yeah,
a guy or gal for everything. Yeah, you know everybody.
I do. So how do you? How do you know
Eddie from It's Edge right, Edrey Modeling?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, yeah, edgrem Modeling.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I know Eddie since he was in seventh grade and
I was in eighth grade at Swanica High School. And
when he started playing football in eighth grade, I was
his cheerleader and I would say a cheer for his name.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
He would do it. Oh my god, do you remember it? Yeah,
of course I remember, like tik tik tik tik, boom dynamite,
boom boom dynamite. Was it that?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, it was Eddie Marquez.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
He's the best, He's better than the rest. He will
fight with all his my foot foot then white whoa, Yeah,
I love that, tell you what?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah? That was?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
It's okay. That was actually probably when I was like
like ninth or tenth grade, to be honest with you.
But yeah, so ever since then, I mean, I've known
Eddie and he's done stuff for my cousin and some
other friends and family.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
He was showing me his work it's like these are
million dollar houses. Yeah, he's working on like completely renovating.
You know, he's no joke. I feel like, but with
my house, Like there's nothing wrong with my house, but
it is not like the ones in his portfolio, right right.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Well, listen, you know, not everyone has what everybody else has.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
But I love Eddie and I texted him right away,
and he texted me right now.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
He was also up. I'm like, why are these people
early risers? We chatting at seven in the morning.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Mm hm.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And you know, I'm sure you were side texting him saying, hey, listen,
I have this friend. She has massive anxiety. No, and
I didn't say she basically needs someone to look at
her house and tell her the roof is not crumbling,
because can I tell you, I these are my This
is what I dream about. I dream about the ceiling
collapsing on me, which I'm sure has like a deeper,
darker meaning.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I stopped dreaming that stuff because that's ridicolas.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
So you went with me to pick up my prescription
the other day, so oh you're lucky. I love you.
So hopefully the nightmares will stop it. So Eddie, Eddie,
offered to come that same day.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Wasn't that nice of him?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
What? What a guy?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
What a sweethew?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
What a guy. So he shows up and we walked
through the house. I show him my concerns and he
goes to me, you know what, have your guy open
it up if it's non invasive, because you can go
through the closet like just kind of like lift the
thing aside. He is, but I really don't think he's
gonna find anything. He's like, I know, howses. He was
pointing out all the things as we were walking through.
He's like, oh, so this slopes a little bit. Yep,
that's normal. That slopes like that. That's normal. And I'm like,
(08:50):
do I need to like support my house? Is it crumbling?
Houses don't crumble like that? He he basically just walked
through and and just ease my anxiety. And he said
to me, I don't think this is a case of
structural issues. I think this is a case of this
old house, which I can live with. I know my
(09:11):
house is old, So if it doesn't need an immediate attention,
that's music to my ears, because I can deal with
things if it's on my timeline. But if it's like
an emergency situation like the ceiling's gonna crumble on me
and my little baby cat. Oh Holly, yeah, I know.
So we're gonna have Hostway's gonna come back on Sunday. Okay,
he's got some smaller things to do. Okay, But I
(09:33):
feel a lot better knowing that likely things are gonna
be okay, and if they're not, we can call Eddie
back if it's something that Hostway.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Can at and then any of the thing that you
need done, Eddie, you'll do right exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And we actually believe it or not, because I have
not been able to discuss any of the fun stuff.
I thought when I moved in, I was like, yeah,
I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna take the wallpaper off,
and I never got to do that because everything started happening.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Is they're a year already.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, Well that's how houses go crazy. You get you
have to replace all the things that are pressing the
water heater, yeah, a lot of the plumbing. Yeah. So
so we actually had to We got a chance to
sit down and discuss some of the fun stuff. And
I think he's gonna come back in June and Bruce
the place that I come over. I know you'll have
(10:20):
to take like ten Clarreton. I know by the way
Ali was performing for him. It was so cute. I
was dying because I'm like, this is my cat, this
is like my everything. Like Ali sit and he sits
like Alli, give your paw, and and Eddie's just like
is that a cat or a dog? Ah? Yeah, that
(10:42):
was great.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yesterday was fun when we went to meet Rends.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
So we went on a field trip and that was
a fun field trip. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
We went off campus yesterday because I needed to pick
up my anxiety prescriptions and we were on the longest line.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Gave us anxiety, and the people in there. I don't
understand how people always angry.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It wasn't that. So you know what's funny. I actually
filled out a survey.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
You did, I did? Oh man, I wish I had to.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And I was brutally honest. I said, you know what,
your employees are overworked and understaffed, and it was an
uncomfortable environment. And no fault against the employees, but customers
were shrieking at each other, yelling at your employees. I
think they were doing their best, but by the time
you get up to the counter, these people have had
enough peopling, and it's very obvious.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Remember when I asked, I was like, and you had
a question about drug interactions, and the guy's like, yeah,
you have to go over there, Like I should know, right,
and I'm actually nice, So I was like, whoa.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Okay, Like he should have been a little bit nicer
about that.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, he should have been like, oh, you'll have to
speak with the person, like right over there. How am
I supposed to know?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
So how are you supposed to know?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But you know, after that whole ordeal, and that's a
good friend, somebody who waits with you through that, we
treat ourselves to.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Coffee and well, thank you for the coffee. It was delicious,
Well thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
But then I introduced Danielle to this underground what do
you call it? Like shopping area?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, it's like this, I think the market.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, but I think it's I think it's actually called
underground market. Not far I think so actually not far
from the radio station. And it's like on the way
to the fifty ninth Avenue, fifty ninth Columbus Circle subway.
And I wanted to stop by Lush to get my
friend to gift and we had such an experience. Wasn't that.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I loved Lorenzo and the whole staff at Lush was
so nice.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
But when you so, this is what I always do.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I walk into a room or wherever and I'm just.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Like, hey, how you doing?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
You know, and people feed off that energy. And he
was so reciprocal to that.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
You know, I've noticed at Duncan. Yes, they were like, ugh,
like wow, like you were coming into brighten up the room.
He wasn't not polite, but he was just not like.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
He was like not feeling.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Usually I see people light up when you do that.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Well you know.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah. But anyway, Lorenzo and like the rest of the
girls working at the store, they were like ready for
the double D energy.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Hey, I'm ready for it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And Lorenzo's getting us like free samples.
