Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yes. And also I feel.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Like I shouldn't have to remember everything I know. Actually
I have to talk about this.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Three two one, Hi everyone.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hey, I'm Alicia and I'm Meredith and this is also
podcasts and Meredith let me tell you, I got to
apologize at the top of the show about something.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
I sound terrible. Do you hear Do you hear this?
I don't know what's happening to I think it's worse
in your head. I don't think you sound different.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Oh my god, I'm going to be sniffling all episode.
I don't know what happened.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
All of a.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Sudden, it was like, tada, you're sick, but I'm not sick.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
I think it's just allergies. I was going to say,
I've been getting a little bit more congested, and I
think it's this like half spring we're in because things
are flying around, but thankfully not at least in Chicago.
Not all the trees are like yeah pop, no, not pollimated,
like they're not all terrible. It's gonna get worse, so

(01:08):
buckle up. Yeah, taking an allergy meds, I know, I
know it's gonna get worse.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Okay, great, we are gonna have a great show because
we love a good Saturday Morning record.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
It really gets our days going.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
So let's do a small celebration, because even the small
things deserve to be celebrated. Meredith, what's your small celebration?

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Well, for me, it's that the NC DOUBLEA Tournament is
back and it is filling my time. Appropriately. I took
the Friday off to watch all of the games, and
I just it is my favorite weekend of the year,
the first weekend. There's just so much going on, so
much to talk about, and I love, love, love it.
You know what, I'm gonna copy you.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
But on the other side of the coin, I'm watching
the women's NC Double A Tournament. It's way better than
the men's and I love watching because then I know
who's going into the WNBA. And let me tell you,
loving women's basketball is probably the gayest thing about me,
and I'm into it.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
You're not gay.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I'm waiting for my gay awakening. Did I tell you
what happened to someone at thirty that I know?

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Really?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Oh my god, this girl, I'm like friends of friends.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
That's how I know this girl.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
She was engaged to this guy of like nine years
or she had been dating him for like nine years,
and they got engaged and they lived together, and she
went to a wedding that he couldn't make, which people.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Thought was weird. Tell me about this.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
And she met someone she was in me, a woman,
and she did on her husband or her fiance with
this woman and now is gay.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
And I'm like, I can't wait for that to happen
to me mine. Were you able to ask this person questions?
Or did somebody tell you this story?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
She told me it okay, but it was like in
a group setting.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Dang. I was gonna say, like, if you were able
to ask questions, because I'm curious, how do I do this? No?
I would say, like where there's other signs earlier?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh interesting, I'm sure probably who knows. I have one
friend who loves to tell me I'm probably bisexual, which
I'll also take because I love women's basketball so much.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
She's like, that's not pretty gay, and ill, let's not
start that rumor that if you like women's basketball you're
not gay, because that make people not watch it even more.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Of course not, it's so it's not it's super straight.
If men watch it, that's women.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
It's okay. If anybody watches it, you're gonna make this
the new drag queens, the things that they ban.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Love me, do you watch? There's this girl on TikTok.
She cracks me up. Her name is Jackie, and she
guesses if people in women's sports are gay or straight
based off their clothes or how they stand. So she'll
be like, Apple, watch gay, but the shirt, the cut,
the neckline that's giving straight and the hairline is bisexual.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
And then she'll guess.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
And then at the end she's like, put everyone, put
your guesses in the comments, and I guess, and then
she at the end tells us if they're gayer straight,
and it's so funny. It's so funny. But yeah, I
love women's basketball. The tournament's going great. Ten out of
ten so far. I'm rooting for Yukon this year.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
They aren't always solid on the women's side and men's lately,
and it kind of annoys me. I don't like when
people like, yeah, right up, both give me one or
the other. Listen.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I didn't want Yukon last year, but I think there's
one senior on the team who this is her fifth year,
so she's done after this names Paige Bukers. Yeah, and
I think she's hungry for it. I think she she
wants it. She's got her Nike Ads, she wants this
win so bad, she's got the WNBA. She's gonna be

(04:58):
a star next year. And like, I don't want South
Carolina to win again. They just won last year.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
You know that makes sense. So what I love is
that this tournament, like compared to other sports, like means
a lot. Yeah, just being in it and like participating
and getting to certain rounds like it means a lot.
And then you go on to like the pros or
some of them do not everybody obviously, but like those
matter too. But I feel like there's a certain spark

(05:26):
in college basketball.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I don't know what it is about this tournament, but
it's like you get your sweet there, you get.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
One of the spots. Oh, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I love the sixteen The sixteen seeds when they get
announced and they dance their way on TV and then
they start playing and you're like, some, yeah, you know,
the sixteen seed's got to play the number one seeds,
which you're like, that's probably not gonna go well, which
it rarely does for the sixteen seeds.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's at least in men's side, it's only happened once
that they've won. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I don't know about the history of women, but I'm
gonna bet it's probably.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Not not good.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, considering all the number one seeds this year, everyone's like,
this will be your final four probably, which is like logistically.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
That is rough to go against. But what I did
learn is that at least on the men's side, I
know they're getting into this with money. On the women's side,
this is the first un the women's tournament has money
against it. But on the men's side, like those smaller teams,
making the tournament is huge for their program because every
round you play in you get like this isn't the
right amount, but like one hundred k for like seven years.

(06:32):
Every year you get a like one hundred k for
every round that you make it in. So if you
made it to like the final four, as even a
smaller team like that would build your whole program up.
So that's why it's like so important for them to
be in it too. Is like they get some of
the revenue kick back for like years, Oh my God
do that with women's sports. Come on, they're getting into it.
I think they're getting into it for like the final

(06:53):
games now, and like I, you do have to ease
into things. I do understand that, So I think at
some point it will probably not be one hundred percent equal,
but we'll get there.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well, I'm one of the people giving the women's my
broadcasting views. I watched every game yesterday.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
It was just on differing days so I could consume
and'll watch all of it.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, yeah, I mean there was only one almost upset,
like a number four seed was won by one point.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
University of Kentucky barely one. Yesterday.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Some very nice Irish woman like led the team. I
didn't realize she was Irish. Led the team to the
wind and I was like, the Irish really know how
to ball.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
But oh it's fun.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yukon though today plays at one Eastern, and I'm pumped.
That's why I have went in so far. I have
one hundred percent of my bracket.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Nice, one hundred percent. I haven't even checked my mends.
I let's see. I get an alert like every two
hours right now on my men's bracket. I did want.
I usually don't do one anymore because I like to
just watch it in want what I want to happen,
like in the moment, and it's usually obviously some upsets,
like I'm always rooting for. I love an upset though, Yeah,

(08:07):
but when I fill a bracket out, then I'm like, Okay,
I want to win the bracket. So I'm no longer
rooting for a lot of upsets and I don't like
that can like flicting viewing experience. But my nieces and
nephews really wanted to fill one out and I was like, oh, thanks,
what you're sad on? Well, no, this is my Like
I'm gonna crush my nieces and nephews like I'm gonna win.

(08:30):
So I have an eighty one percent uh correctness. And
I texted my dad because my sister and brother in
law how to fill it out for or like be
the account name so it just says like my sister
and brother in law's name. Like three times. I'm like,
who is number two? For my brother in law? I
want to know which kid I'm up against? Like which kid?
Do I need a trash talk here?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:51):
I was like, let me figure it out.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, I got a shit on these kids pretty hard.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, and then there's like one that's just taking I'm like,
all right, number three. My brothers they're out, they're out.
I hope that's the baby, Like they don't care. Wait,
that's extra funny because these are like literally children, Yeah,
you're going down.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
We do family Fantasy Football, which, like I gave up
on football this past year, so god knows. I was
just like whatever, yeah, whatever ESPN tells me do, yeah,
because it's like it's me and my parents we each
have a team, and then it's my two uncles, and

(09:32):
then they're kids. So there's four kids.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
But these are like.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Asshole teenager kids who we've been playing this for like
five years and it's always one of the fucking teenagers
to win. And my parents and I were like, this
is so rude, Like how come no one over the
age of twenty has ever fucking won this game? Yeah,
it's such bullshit because.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
They just know, like who's doing well the best? I think,
no a lot of them.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
One of them, my goddaughter, she won twice and she
just let ESPN like automatically pick her team you think
about it, So this year I did that.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
I was like, ESPN's gonna pick my fucking team.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
I don't care and the whole because whenever, like you know, football,
by Thanksgiving, things could still go awry if like, for real,
my mom would like be first place and then she
talks shit and then she'd get crushed, and like it
was repeated, like it was always the bottom floor was
like me, my dad, my two of my uncles, and

(10:32):
then like maybe my mom or another adult, like it
was we were getting crushed by these fucking children. And
so this year, my Dad's like, no mercy, let's just
shit talk the fuck out of them. So we're in
this group chat no matter what, just like, fuck you assholes,
We're gonna win. They would always propose trades and they
think I'm dumb, like they tried going for my number

(10:54):
one player and give me two scrubs and I was
like again, but I also only do My team's called
the Q Boys Club, so I only draft C boys.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
And then also I don't allow any Green Bay Packers
on my team because I don't like the Packers, so
at least.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
They're not good right now.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
So yeah, and then it'd be like if I hate
like I hate Tom Brady, so I would never pick
him when he was in or like, yeah, Aaron Rodgers,
I'd be like, it doesn't matter to me. I can't
have him on my team because I hate him. So
it was only cute boys and people I liked. And
this year I did the same thing and everyone was like,
let's make trades and I would respond back and be like,

(11:30):
denied trade.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
You gave me an ugo. I can't have that on
my team. And everyone's like.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
You're gonna you that's so stupid, You're gonna lose, Oh
my god. And every week I would crush it. I
would win and I would be like, y'all are assholes,
and guess who came number one? And then my dad
was number two, and we even said we'll split that
because at one point we each had to play a
kid and my Dad's like, i'll help you with your team,
you help me with mine, and we'll split the pot.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
And I was like, yeah, I can make him prettier.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
At this point, I just need bragging rights with these
fucking children.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
And at least I love that. But honestly, I think
there is a link because rich people know how to
look good too. Yeah, so like if they're rich, they
have to be doing well enough to beginning in contracts.
I had who was at Chikwan Barkley. Is that his name?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
The guy from the squon Barkley so good first off
has an all women's management team.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yes, ended up winning the Super Bowl, and I was like,
it is yours, like yours is morals and beauty together.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
I did want at the beginning of the season. I
was like, I want Travis Kelcey just for the Taylor
swift of it all. And I told my mom that
and she picked him first round and I went, excuse
you snaked me.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
I can't believe you cannot give up your info to competitors.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Well, she also picked Patrick Mahomes and I said, that's
a bad move because if one of them has a
bad game, the other one has.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
A bad game too. Link those two together on I
try and diversify absolutely.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
And then Travis Kelsey ended up having a terrible season anyway,
And then my Mom's like, do you want to trade?
And I was like, no, I have my cute boys.
I don't need work cute boys. I got my cute
boys too late.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
You know what it was meant to be that you
weren't supposed to have him and That's what I said.
I won.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
I looked at my mom and I was like, guess
who didn't make playoffs?

Speaker 1 (13:21):
You not me? Look at that should have done that. Sorry,
that was a long, small celebration. No, it was. I
have one question for you though. As we wrap this up,
I saw a TikTok that this guy was super annoyed
with people's brackets when somebody would be like, oh, but
I have that. I picked that in a different bracket,
and so he's like, you only get to fill out

(13:43):
one bracket. What are your thoughts on that, like in one,
like just in general, like people would be like, oh,
I have a friends and family one and I have
a work one. But in my work one, I picked
that upset because there was like one upset and everybody's like, oh,
but I picked I pick McNee in my other bracket,
and it's like, well, it doesn't matter in this bracket. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
I think like, if I have like a thing with
you and then a thing with my family, even if
my bracket with you is wrong, I can't be like,
but my other bracket and no, no, the bracket I
present in that league is the bracket.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
One talked about.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, yeah, I don't even join a league. I just
make I made two brackets for my own track. One
was exactly what I think is gonna happen, and that
one's one hundred percent. One is my upset and that's
fifty five percent.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
People said, like, you get one for your hopes and dreams,
like your team makes it all the way, but that
that you're not referencing that, you're just being like I
have you know, said I didn't.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Even look at my upset bracket until the end of
the day yesterday because I know you.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
And then one where you're like, this is what I
this is what I am picking and think is going
to happen.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, yeah, with a little bit of hope because you know,
you make it down to the Elite eight and you
got to be like, they're all good teams now, I
just gotta YEA, Well, that's just.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Your instincts being like, this is this is the plan.
Paige Bucker's hungry for it. Baby. Who do you think
is winning the Mets? Do you always put Kansas? No?
Speaking of Kansas, I have friends that I saw last
night where they were like, how are you doing? Because
Kansas lost first round first time since two thousand and six,

(15:23):
but like they're terrible. I kept saying all last weekend,
Saint Patrick's a weekend. I was like, they're not even
going to be in the tournament. And people are like,
you're being dramatic, and I was, but like I forget that.
My version of bad is like still decent for others. Yeah.
So when I saw them, they're like, how are you?
And I was like, I knew we were going to
lose this, so like I'm fine, and Miszoo lost too,

(15:45):
I hate, so like that helps meet the deal. And
then some of my friends were like, we're really pissed
at you, and I was like why and they're like,
cause we picked Kansas for you, And I said, why
would you do that? Why would you do that? I
didn't even pick Kansas for me? What are you talking about?
I mean I did, cause like they're my team, I
have to, but I only had a winning one game,
like they were not going all the way. And but

(16:06):
in front of your bracket too much, no one of
my friends is like I have them in this in
the final four. I was like, that's delusional. I told
you they weren't even going to make the tournament. What
seed were they a? Seven. Oh no, they're not making
it too far, right. I was like, okay, that's not
my fault. This is one and you.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
I mean there are some big teams in and then
you go like those one, two, three brackets.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
That's cool. Like I've looked up the statistics men's on
the men's side of like winning, and if you are
not one through like honestly three, it is like so
unlikely that you're gonna win it. I need the lowest
seed to ever win. It was a seven seed. Uh yeah, no,

(16:53):
there's like no hope.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Okay, I'm seventy seven percent on my men seventy nine
percent on my men's.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Bracket, which isn't bad.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I did pick Kansas because most of the time for
these basketball things too, if you give me a seven
or eight, like seven verse eight, I'll usually just be like, eh,
I'll pick the team I like better, the state I
like better. Right, Yeah, I think Kansas was up against Arkansas.
I was like, ye, I'll pick Arkans or I'll pick
Kansas for that one. But then yeah, I didn't have

(17:21):
Kansas going any further.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's what it is. It's like. And I was telling
King to my friend about this, like You're kind of
like your losses in the sixth run of sixty four
are not that destructive unless you have that team that
loses go all the way like she has its higher
quadrant great out. I was like, you're done for Damn
Baylor won.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
See it's like Baylor versus Mississippi State. I was like,
I'm gonna pick Baylor because I just like Baylor better
and they won.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
You just gotta go with who you think is gonna
who you like better. Sometimes, yeah, I have I was
kissed at that one. They were leading the whole game
and lost it. Damn Clemson lost. There's some upsets. That
was a great one. That was the only real upset.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
I think I have Purdue winning it. But I think
I always as a joke picked Perdue.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
That's just like sane. I'm just like pet Purdue will
do it. My winner is because I'd already seen my
family submit him, and my sister loves Duke, and I
despise Duke. Yeah, but I needed to be a little
bit different. There was a lot of Florida and Duke,
and I was like, my friends went to Tennessee, so
I ride hard for Tennessee. Okay, so I picked Tennessee

(18:31):
to take it, but I don't. I don't know if
they will see I hope they're not listening to this, But.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
I wish Gonzaga was higher up. I think Gonzaga is
the funniest name in the world. I usually go a
little further with Gonzaga, but they're inn ete seed, and
I was like, I can't.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
I love them because everybody calls them like the zag Gorgonzola.
Oh nope, I used to call him Gorgonzola, and I
love that nickname. The Zags so good. It's so Gonzaga
is like the funniest. I think it's a Washington state.
I don't even know. I every year I have to
look it up because I forget so don't can't check me.

(19:08):
People are probably screaming at their phones. Where is it?
Fag in fact? Check it really quick? Oh shit, I
did have Kansas going to the Sweet sixteen. That was dumb.
The fuck?

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Did I know I had them up against? Oh I
should have picked Saint John's. They're a number two seed. Yeah,
that was dumb on my part.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
I got Wisconsin going kind of far. But yeah, there
was Spokane, Washington, Spokane, Spokane. Oh nice, I always just
pick a pick for do as a joke. Because I
grew up near Purdue. I know where it is. I
know where it is. I was watching the god who

(19:49):
are they playing Troy against? I don't even remember because
I was rooting for the underdog. It doesn't matter. That's
somebody was like, oh, like somebody who's not was not
born and raised in the US, who was like learning
a little bit about the tournament, like knew about it,
but at about our like fandom of teams, and we're like, oh,

(20:09):
we're not fans of this team, but like we are
right now, like we are all in on. And then
we like listed two teams like playing at the moment,
and he was like, oh, well where are they? And
we were like, we have no idea where these schools are,
and so we all like guessed, and somebody looked up
and was like, oh, Alabama, And I was like, all right,
I didn't never mind.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
No, yeah, A hundred percent of the time, if your
state name is not in the.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Team name, I probably don't know.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
I mean producing Indiana, right, maybe, Okay, you're so funny,
but I mean I couldn't even tell you where Baylor is.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Is that Midwest that's in Texas.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Oh oh, no idea, no clue.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
It was funny because he was like, well, why are
some of these states in some of these cities? And
I was like, you know what, that is a good question.
I don't know how you got your how. Some are
state schools, some are city schools, some are private schools
with randomized names.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
I love when it's like Alabama State versus Alabama University
and it's like, the fuck's the difference? Like Illinois State
versus Illinois University. That always cracked me up. So when
someone would be like, oh, I go to school at Illinois,
I'd be like, well, excuse, there's twelve different ones.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
That is frustrating because different like at least at Kansas
they like people would call it case State or just Kansas.
Oh yeah, like really knew the difference. But if you're like, oh, yeah,
I go to school at Illinois, it's like I need
more words. Yeah I don't.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
I mean same though, Kansas State versus Kansas University. It's
funny that there's two. Basically, Yeah, it's hilarious. So fun anyway,
should we get into news, Yes, yes, even though this
was kind of a news mix.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, it's all the same.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
We're gonna stick with a sportsy thing I have to
tell you about. Have you heard of the Barkley Marathon?

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Okait? I have from very surface level, like it's like
an ultra marathon in the woods, right.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yes, in the woods of Tennessee. So basically, this one
guy the creator couldn't remember his name, didn't write it down,
doesn't matter. He has been making this this trek for
many a year's right. It's one hundred miles in the
Tennessee Woods and you have to complete this race in
sixty hours.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Oh my god. Yeah, people sign up. Wait, one hundred
miles in sixty hours. Yes, okay, I guess it?

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Does you basically five You basically do like five laps
total of like.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Twentyety five oh twenty yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Five laps of twenty miles and you get twelve hours
per lap, so you have.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Twelve hours to cut off periods. Yes, So do they
have a brain in between.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Or I think so you get like a recharging station.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Not part of the overall sixty hours. No, because okay,
because I was like that you're gonna die.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Or no, it is twelve times twelve times five is sixty.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah. But if they like have basically these twenty miles.
Oh yeah, they have to sleep, Like sure, there's pause
the game, and like.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
There's not a lot of information on this, like it's
very secretive. So it's always in the Tennessee Woods. But
the trek or like track or whatever, it changes every year.
Oh so sometimes it gets harder, sometimes it's easier.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
So you never know.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
So sometimes the same people show up and like do it,
and sometimes they finish, and sometimes.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
They don't because like maybe one year you get the
easy route. Yeah. So basically how it works, right is every.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Lap you go with a different directions, So like you'll
go counterclockwise one lap, and then the next lap you
have to go count or yeah, counterclockwise, and then the
next lap you go clockwise. The next lap you go counterclockwise,
and then at the fifth lap, the first person that
like finished the fourth lap, they get to choose if
they want to go clockwise or counterclock clockwise because usually

(24:21):
one is easier than the other, you know, because summer uphill,
it just depends, yeah, and so they'll pick and then
the person after them has to go in the next
the other direction. So it's all based on like that
first person and how you.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Like, I was gonna say, like, I would think that
maybe you'd want to actually choose the harder option if
it was for everybody, if you felt like you were
doing so well the opposite. Yeah, oh diabolical coming in
second place, I would like feel like I would like
go back a little bit to be in third place.
But I guess you don't know where you're at.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah, And because it's like deep in the Tennessee Woods
and they have to make sure these people are like
because it's an unmarked trail, so they have to make
sure that these people are like on trek, So every
mile there's a book and you have to rip out
the page that matches your number. So like if you're
number one, you get the first book of the page

(25:15):
to prove that you hit the right check mark.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Oh, it's crazy how many people have died.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I don't think anyone's died. I think people have just
like not finished. But so this year it already has finished.
It like had just started and it finished, and no
one was able to make the twelve hour like I
think by the last three people couldn't make it and
no one finished, like they cut it short. Because so
last year five a record breaking five people finished, which

(25:47):
is unheard of. So the creator was like, I have
to make the course harder because he was pissed. He
was pissed that five whole people finished his course out
of like.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
More than five. It didn't exist.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
No, literally, Also, this man, this is how he signals.
So he signals that the race will begin in an
hour by blowing a conch shell, which is funny that
we know. We'll talk about that on Summerhouse. And then
he signals the start of the race by lighting his cigarette.
And then that's how you know it's it's time to go.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
I understand what he wants a secret it because this
is fucking weird. He is not people wanting to race
one hundred miles. Yeah, that's normalized.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
So this has been going on for forty years. You know,
twenty six total people have finished it.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
I get why he was mad for five people to
finish it last year.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
So last year, not only did five people finish, but
our first woman ever finished, which probably is really what
pissed him off, because like, how dare a woman finished?
But her name is Jasmine Paris and she, like I said,
first woman, so everyone was rooting for her and there's
only like one guy that gives live updates because it's

(27:04):
like in the backwoods, so.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
No one's really there and you're not supposed to like
spill too much.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
So yeah, he was like live tweeting that. This woman
last year was like gonna make it. She was doing
really well, but she of course was like the last person.
You know, she was always number five to finish out
of the five people to finish.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
So on the last lap.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
They start going right, so like the first person goes
one way, the second person goes the other.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
She probably should the easier way too.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Maybe she was number four actually because she would have
gotten the hard way. But this other really nice competitor
who has finished the altar this Barkley's marathon many times before.
He was like, hey, do you want to start before
me so you have the easy route so you can finish,
And so he gave up his spot for her to

(27:57):
get the easy route, and she ended up finished with
like maybe three minutes to spare.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Oh my, but she did it.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
I know I'm deep in Barkley's marathon. TikTok Now I'm
not an expert by any man.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
This was aw from TikTok i don't. I have seen
that it all is communicated through that one guy on Twitter,
so it is secretive. So I don't really think you
can be an expert either.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Yeah he's on Blue Sky now too. If you hate
Elon Musk, which I do so. But yeah, no one
finished this year, sad, not even a bunch of people
who have done the Barklays Marathon before multiple.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Times in finished. They didn't make it. Even if it's
been forty years and only twenty people have finished overall,
then like I expect there are many years where people
there already many years that people don't finish.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
I think there were forty people that started, and yeah,
maybe I just wonder.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
How you get in on this because they are secretive
about it. How do you know where to go, what's
going on?

Speaker 2 (29:02):
And the fact that he blows a conshell an hour
before so you already have to be in the woods.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
That's just think a bit.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
But okay, if it happens in an hour, how long
am I waiting in these woods? Like you can't blow
the con shell and I'm not in Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
No, no, no, no, These people like are on.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Some email list and they know oh so they're like
in a week, it's happening. But then you're you have
to literally because no one knows what time it starts at,
starts at different times, so you're camping in Tennessee woods.
And then this guy's like, you know what, I think
eight thirty five in the morning is gonna be a
good time.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
So that is seventy So you got that guy. The
Twitter guy is like, all right, cornshell blown, let's go. Yeah,
but you already have to be in the woods, is
my point. So you're like, it happened the same weekend,
every year, same time frame. I assume. I assume can
at least know to be in the general area. You

(30:03):
think you just hear the content. You're like living here
all spring waiting for the conch shells. I hope.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
So I'm sure they tell the athletes like this is
the week, yes, or maybe this is like three days
be ready, and then you just have to.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Live near the start point. Yes. And then one day
this guy's like, conshell, and you have to be ready
in an hour.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
So I start like dressing, going the bathroom, fueling up,
and then he's like, light my cigarette, let's go, let's
go bitch yuck. But yeah, that's my news. I found
it really fascinating. That's wild, that's good stuff. Good luck
to next year's competitors, especially to women.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
No, truly, do you have any news. I have one thing.
I saw she Nache got a tattoo of a bat
to represent her time on The Master Singer, and I
was like, why Oh.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
I was cracking up at the clips of her with
her like voice fucked up.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
But she's like, oh my god, it's so cute you
and I was like, you know, And I second, I
wouldn't have thought The mask Singer was such a monumental moment.
But I wonder if it has to do with her
like postpartum OCD, like if she just hasn't done many things.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
She didn't she get like voted off or like, yeah,
voted off in like episode one.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
I don't know. I don't understand how that show works. Personally.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
I don't either, because Jenny McCarthy's on that show and I.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Hate her, yes rightly, so I won't give her a view.
But yeah, I don't. I don't know. I was like, oh,
bad is on your arm? Now?

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Do you remember when The Masked Singer was announced as
a show, And No, I do because I saw a
commercial with it of it. I was still living at
my parents because my dad and I saw it and
he went, what a stupid show. It won't go past
one season and it's literally like everyone's favorite show, but
it cracks me up. I don't follow it, but sometimes

(32:02):
I'll somehow get on Mass Singer TikTok Instagram. I don't know,
and people will be like, I bet it's Barack Obama
in there. I'm like, Baraco is not my god, he's
not in the slinky costume.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Like, what are you talking about? You're missing. Yeah, you're
you're thinking like high level celebrities and it's not going
to be that.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Oh it's probably Beyonce. No, it's probably not.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
In no world, does it Beyonce in there? Oh, Taylor
Swift's coming on the Mass Singer. No she's not.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
These are all washed up stars being judged by Jenny McCarthy,
the anti vax princess. Like, I fucking hate everyone on
this show. I don't even know who else is on it.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
I have no idea judge it. I'm looking at that,
but I I agree with you. I was like, I
don't get this concept. Well, like I've never looked into
the concept. I guess, but like it's not for me.
But I wonder if no shame to these people, But
this isn't just not the TV that I watch. If
it's all the people who also keep like The Voice Alive,
the American Idol, like they like those type of competition shows.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
I don't understand how people get voted off. Is it
just like they were a bad singer with their fucked
up voice?

Speaker 1 (33:17):
They when they're singing, it's really them. Oh, you're right. Oh,
I don't know. And I've heard that the judges have
a list of who's competing. America doesn't know, so like
America is like blindly picking random Barack Obama. Yeah, but

(33:39):
the judges are like, I really think it's so and so,
and they're actually on.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Oh if they guess it right, does that mean you're
voted off?

Speaker 1 (33:48):
No? I think they just guess when they've already been
voted off and are about to do the reveal. And
that's just like an added layer of imagine like American Idol,
if it was like blind.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Oh, okay, so it's Ken John, the guy from the Hangover, Yeah,
he's fine. I think he was in community too. I
don't think he's anything terrible. Oh Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, fock
her my number one enemy. Nicole Schwartzinger, Oh hater, hater,

(34:18):
hate her, Maga ass too. And Robin Thicke, who I'm
pretty sure has cooked up with younger women, Oh my god,
like young girls. Literally, who's watching this fucking show?

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Anyone?

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Any rito or who's who's been on? Who's been on
the mass?

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Sandoval was on it once. I don't know how much
they pay those people to be on it, Like do
they win? Like I don't.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
I know Amber Riley won, but I don't know what
it takes to win this show?

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Does that make sense? And is there a prize money?
Like I see? I literally don't. It's the hosts it.
Oh my god, it's the people who watch the like
primetime TV shows. That just isn't me. I'm a streamer now,
I don't live on real TV.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Okay, I'm looking at who is on like these recent seasons.
Boys to Men was on here, Mario A. J Mushakaket,
some baseball player, Jana Kramer, Jana Kramer, you could do better?

Speaker 1 (35:30):
What are we doing? Drake? I don't think Drake Bell
was on the show. I don't think like like Jana Kramer, like,
let's say they pay one hundred grand for you to
just show up, Like all these people who are not
doing as much. No, not offensively, they're just like not
on TV shows or not, they're not doing anything. I

(35:50):
would if somebody paid me one hundred grand, I'd be
on it.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Bethany Hamilton, that were one arm, Yeah, I guess we
we the soul Surfer, I guess stop playing her royalties
and she had to go on the show. Andy Ricker,
who's that? Cole?

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Oh my god, I don't know any of these people.
I don't know either. Vanessa Hudgens was on the show.
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Jason Street from Friday Night Lights did this? Could he
even sing? What if you can't sing?

Speaker 1 (36:22):
So most of these people cannot sing? I think that's
half of the bit. Clay Aikin was on the show
that see that's just not fair if some people can sing,
that though checks out.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
If Clay Aikin's doing this show, what else is Clay
Aken doing?

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Speaking of Klay Akin, Colton Underwood, sorry god, oh that's crazy.
He was on it and American Idol. I've been seeing
some Tiktoks again, another show I don't watch, but somehow
get on my forty page that there have been at
least two people who have tried out for this season

(36:56):
of American Idol whose parents are like famous singers in
the parent go in to the audition with them and
it's like, oh, so this is the NEPO baby season,
Like let your child sing for themselves and just be
good or not like be the parents sitting in the
back room being like, I hope they get their tickets.
I'll tell you know, the kid's not good.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, if you kid was actually good, you'd be like,
just go in there and do what you do.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
If it's not good, it's like, this is my faite.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Oh yeah, Okay, who's the judge on American Idol?

Speaker 1 (37:28):
Now? Carrie Underwood's on it? Yeah, I know, Katie Perry,
I don't know if she's on it. Cyon now Richie
he's on it. And Luke Bryan. I was gonna say,
I think another country artist.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
See once you got rid of the magic that was
Simon Cowell, Paula Duel and Randy Jackson.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
It's no for me, dog, that was iconic. No for me, Dog.
I just feel say that sometimes, Oh same. I feel
like in this era of media we're in, we're getting
a little lazy with ideas and concepts of shows, and
we're just re upping things, say with movies like we're on.

(38:12):
We just keep continuing series when we don't need to, like,
let's come out with a new idea. You know what
I love to do.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Now, you're gonna laugh when guys are like, oh, I
love Marvel and I have to watch all twenty thousand movies.
I go, oh, so you're a Disney adult because you're
just as obsessed. How are you gonna judge me for
watching eleven seasons of a bunch of hot waiters arg

(38:41):
you and cheat on each other, But you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Watch Marvel movie. You're a Disney adult. You're you're a
Disney adult. That's so good. I think about that. I
saw it so all the time, that it's acceptable, acceptable
for guys to be a Disney adult about their sports
teams and where they're at the most inappropriate times. But
somebody's excited to go to a theme park and they're

(39:06):
just reamed. No. Literally, I hate I hate men. I
do hate most Disney adults I think are like the
poor ones. But if you're just into something, women get
shamed for it. I hate Disney adults.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
I also hate men who are like, oh, Taylor Swift
is like a literal cult, and I'm like, I'm sorry,
you're shirtless in negative three degree weather with your your
chest painted shouting for other boys to touch each other.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Let's talk about it. You're not wrong, Let's talk about it.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
And on this subject, Meredith, I would like to share
something with you. So I came across this creator on TikTok.
Her name is Miss Frizzyhead, and she made a list
of a bunch of argument enders when you're arguing with
people like in this political climate. Yeah, I just want
to share a few because some of them had me gagged.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Some of them.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
I was like, maybe, but I pictured myself arguing with
my Maga side of the family, and I was like,
this is hilarious. So even the Pope doesn't like Trump,
you could start there.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
For that was really good because I am deep in
the Catholic where you go, Jesus was a brown socialist.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
If we're going to talk about it, okay, you have
elevated the tone of your voice, but not the logic
of your reasoning.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Because across the board on anything like you want to
argue with me, good luck.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
We're not educationally compatible for this discussion to continue that way.
About a lot of gagged wisdom has always chased you.
But boy, you were fast that's been gagged. It's wild
you think it's okay to say that just if you
want to shock, if you really want to shut them up.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
It's why it's okay to say it. I saw somebody
say like, if somebody's like typing it, like so if
it's over text, you say, oh, I think that's that
was meant for the notes app And if they're speaking it,
you're like, oh, those are some inside thoughts. I think
they escae love it.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
I am not a safe person for you to say
that too. Energy often that's awesome. You have overestimated the
importance of your opinion in my life. Yes, I can
explain it to you all day long, but I can't
understand it for you.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
That one gag kills I. Just some of these, I think,
because people are so dumb, would go over their head, though.
I think they would try to rebuttle and I would
just repeat land the way I want it to.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Like that burn I'm glad you found someone who represents
your ethical and moral beliefs, but yours differ from mine.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
I like that one. I think that one would hit them.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
You're not capable of under understanding how poor your argument is,
but that hasn't stopped you yet from being wrong so frequently,
like damn, damn. This one's my favorite. I have been
wanting to use this one forever. At the end of
the day, you voted for someone who was endorsed by
the KKK. Is that woman on TikTok who's like, for

(42:15):
the rest of your life, you have to know you're
sitting at a table. Jesus would have flipped.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
I think about that constantly. Like what radicalized you? I'm like,
I went to Catholic school where my motto was not
I but we Like, what do you mean what radicalized me?
I to do service hours? I loved you reposted it.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
But this woman on TikTok who was like, let them
teach the Bible in schools?

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Why do you think I am the way I am?
I like, I'm not joking. I am like, I don't
know how this was a lot at my Catholic high school,
but I had a social justice class as one of
my religion classes. And I was telling my therapist about
this the other day and she was like, she was like,
that is kind of wild, and I was like, I
think because they did put it under the guise of

(43:09):
pro life, but I will say they weren't so hardcore
about abortion about it. They also were talking about the
death penalty. And I was like, all right, my whole
thing is also, if you're gonna believe in pro life,
be so fucking life everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, like you can
get me on that, sure, but like be consistent about
it and be the life. Like also the life, not

(43:29):
just pro birth.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
If your pro life black lives have to matter to you, yes,
So like.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
That's how I grew up a pro life mindset of
like no, like I just don't want people dead type
of mentality, which is like, I'm sure most people also agree,
even if they're pro like choice, they just don't want
people dead. And I just this whole class like I
just had the best conversations. And obviously there are people
in high school who did not care about any of

(43:54):
this stuff, but I did. I loved it, So like
that's I guess that's where I came from.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
I ones in high school wrote a paper on merciful euthanization,
that's what it's called.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Where so it is like cancer, Yeah, yeah, I wrote
pro if you want to die. That's something we debated
in this class, is like at what point is it,
like you want people to live? But at what's like
at what cause? What's kind of the agenda behind the
death of things? And a lot of like I'm so

(44:27):
anti death penalty because I don't care what people have
done wrong. I just don't think like an eye for
an eye is the mentality. Like I would never want
to be a part of that system because I feel
like the government we all are operating under, like still
someone out blood is on my hands because like that's
my government. And yeah, I just I think it's always

(44:49):
the like reason behind it, like what's happening. I just
think it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
At eighteen, that's what I wrote a paper about my
parents' basement.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
This is my new favorite.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
You're speaking with the level of confidence you're not entitled
to have.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Not I would hit some men the right way.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
No literally, and then a bunch of them are like,
you know, you're not in the right tax bracket for
people to care about you. That, well, Jesus had two
dads and Catholics are okay with that.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Boom oh well blended family action so.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Like Judas you sold the people for thirty pieces of silver,
boom that I haven't.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
Heard that one hits that damn.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Yeah, imagine this this one my dad has used at
one of my cousins when my cousin was like bitching
about this one transcreator, like I don't know what it
was about this transcreator that like blew my cousin's mind.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
But my dad literally.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Looks them and goes, why do you have the time
to care about this? Like what how are are you.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Spending your day? Tell people like, wow, I didn't realize
you're so interested in like what is underneath somebody's pants
And they're like I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, And
I'm like, well you are, like I don't, like, I
don't want to talk about this with you, but you're
very obsessed. But yeah, it happens when somebody goes to
the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
There's a bunch of them if you're interested, Miss Frizzyhead.
She also has a ongoing Google doc about things that
like people might say like abortion is killing a baby
and then it's like actual facts and links and like
she has a whole argument or like my vote was

(46:38):
for the abortion issue and nothing else, and it's like, okay,
this is how you can respond.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
This is links, These are facts. I get so angry
when people say that anybody who votes liberal is a
one voter issue, because like that's insane, that that's insane.
I'm not easy.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Oh good times. But yeah, so miss Frizzyhead getting me
through twenty twenty five so far, Thank you, giry.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
This this year is just passing so slowly, so hoping
for the best. Should we get into reading, watching, and listening? Yes, yes, yeah,
tell me what you've been reading.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Okay, So I'm still reading the you know, you know
my vampire book author.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
The one where like they had like two different I'm
gonna call them factions of vampires, yes, and then like
the enemies to lovers, because yes, that guy took over
and like killed her dadda and then and then but
he's like trying to protect her but like yeah, like
she's my servant. She's like what the hell and he's like,
but I love you. Yeah that one, Yes, that author.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
I've been reading another series by her, so I read
the first book, which was Daughter of No Worlds, and
it started slow, but it picked up in the end.
And now I'm on the second book called Children of
Fallen Gods.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
And honestly, it kind of hits so far. What it
mean for.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
A book, It's it's the War of Lost Heart series.
That's what the series is called. And the third one,
when I read it, will be called Mother of Dawn
and Death okay or Death in Dawn. Sorry my bad,
but they kind of hit so far. It's like an
interesting read. I it's always about, you know, the little

(48:24):
people who have been marginalized their whole life.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
We're fighting back or fighting the good fight. So love it.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
It's getting me through. I do really just want an
easy read after this.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
My god, No, you don't, you love you love complicated
series like this. You'd be bored. That's it.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
As I get bored, I think I need like once
I'm on vacation.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
I love an easy read. Yeah, but or you can
just pick up and read like one chapter no matter
what you're doing, whereas like the ones you're reading now
are like the I need to keep going. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
But basically this book is about a slave woman who
tries to buy her freedom, and then I'm having to
fight for her freedom, and then she does escape, but
her freedom is you know, she thinks she's safe, but
she's actually not because there are bad rulers everywhere trying
to use her for her powers.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
You know what, I realize why they want to be
in these books.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
I got it, but it's not going to happen. I'm
already I already got it left in my mind. And
then there's like this magical force they put within her,
so she's extra powerful, but she can't control it, so
she's like killing innocent people. And now she's trying to
like control the force and figure that out.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
She obviously falls in love with.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
A guy who fought in this original war who is
now scarred from that war because he used to have
this really like magical force within him, and the force
got really jealous of his family. So like this guy
killed his whole family because the force made him. So
now he's like so anti this government that owns this
force and wants to put in other people. But now
the love of his life.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Has work within her. It's kind of crazy.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
There's a lot of complex things happening that I have
had to follow along with, and now they introduced a
new character in the second book. They're like, I don't
know how she intersects with the other story yet.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Are they building it correctly though, where you're like yeezing
into who this person is.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
I'm interested she is so from what I've gathered is
the first two people in the book, the slave and
the guy she falls in love with, and everyone else
they're humans with magic powers. Okay, this new girl, she
I think her name's Efi. She is her in her
world is Fay. But one of the Fay houses that she,

(50:39):
you know, like of the Fay Kingdom, was just attacked
by a bunch of humans and the phaserre like, how
does that happen? Humans fucking suck and They're like, no, no, no,
these humans are crazy magic and so now we got
to fight the humans and I'm like, they're gonna fight
or something.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Something I appreciated about the Fantasy world is it's consistent
in terminology and yeah idea, like.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
It's always just spelled different, like but that same words,
like Fay in this book is f e y. I
don't like that, but in a guitar's Fae. Yeah, she's
also kind of crazy it's all. It's all crazy, but
terms we all know, we all know to fay.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
It because I think that that that is needed because
you need to have some consistency in worlds that don't exist.
Have you did you? Okay? Are you a fan of
Brittany Broski. Yeah, she.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
Does the you know, the royal Court that she has
where she interviews celebrities and it's like a bit.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Have you seen it?

Speaker 2 (51:39):
I haven't, Okay, she does this bit where she'll interview celebrities,
but it's like for them to be a.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
Part of her royal court, and so it's.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Kind of like it's a really funny bit and she
basically like ask them random questions about their career. But
then is like, if you were to sell something in
my kingdom, what.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
Would you sell?

Speaker 2 (52:01):
And people are like, I don't know, pickled onions And
she's like but why. But then like it's it's funny.
It's like all a big joke, but she did. She
interviewed Cole Sprouse and these two they had magic, these
two the.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
Ms building the world out.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
Oh no, the chemistry was so good. Like he played
into all of her bits. But at one point she's
like asking him questions and he's like he's like, not
really answering, and she goes, okay, well I'm out of question,
so what should we do? And he's like, oh, no,
I don't know. And she's like, do you have any
questions for me? He's like he's like, yeah, what's your
favorite mythical creature? And she goes, no, that's actually really interesting.

(52:41):
Did you know there's a difference between a wiburn and
a dragon? And he goes he was like, yes, it
depends on the placement of the legs and like how
long they are. And she's like, oh my god, how
did you know that? Because Britney Broski is a very
avid fantasy reader. Yeah, She's like, how do you know that.
He's like, I had a bowl cut for fifteen years.
Just adopt celibacy, like I know the difference.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
And I'm like, I'm glad we all know.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
The difference between a dragon and a wibn Like, I'm
glad this is the creature we all know.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Well, it's funny because like now that reading has become
like a big thing again for like the masses, Like
obviously reading was always out there, it's become very mean
stream and that fantasy is becoming more meanstream. It is
very interesting to see how like the tables are turning. Yeah,
it was just so funny.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
I recommend if you need a good laugh the Brittany
Broski Royal Court with Cole Sprouse. I have never not
like left so hard. It was so funny. Anyway, That's
all I'm reading right now.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
I'm not reading anything like I just did. I tried
to read this book about my family and therapy book
and it was just too much. So I just I
really didn't help myself.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
I want to read the let them theory even though
I already know the theory.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
I think I want to read the book. I like that.
Have you heard the theory?

Speaker 2 (54:03):
Yeah, because it's it's like it's things you can you
can't worry about things that you can't control.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
You just have to let them happen.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
Yeah, which, for the most part, I feel like I'm
this type of person, but would love to.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Continue to educate myself. I feel like because I have
like different circles of like obviously like as people are
closer to me, and I feel like the closer people
are to me, the less I instill that theory. Like
people I care less about I'm like, yeah, whatever, Like
there's very specific people that I just don't not in
the mean way, not in a like malicious way. I

(54:38):
just don't care what's going on with them, what they do,
I guess how they treat me Like it's just like whatever,
but they like people very very close to me. I
like care way more so it's like how do you Yeah,
dott theory like yeah, worldwide. No, that's a good that's
a good point.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
I did see her on Jake Chain's podcast, yes, and
she it was just a clip, but it was pretty
brutal because she's like, Jake Shane, you're single because you
don't actually love yourself. And I was like, yo, let
and I understand his podcast.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Is like therapy, but ye yeah, yeah, it was crazy.
I saw random this an unrelated TikTok where you know,
as one of those where people were like about dating
and then people are like, oh, min like I just
can never find people, and I'm like yeah, but we
also like don't put ourselves in the right situations, like
we purposely kind of sabotage ourselves or living a life
that doesn't like lead us to the right things. Like

(55:33):
I know, I sabotage things like I know I am
not looking for a real sound relationship that I don't
make it.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
I've had to because I think for a long time
dating like and it's still really not a priority to me.
But then I'd be like, why am I single? It's like,
because you don't care about this thing? Yeah, like I don't.
I truly, I wish I did. The only reason I
want to date someone is so I can constantly just
book your for us. That is the only reason, which

(56:02):
is not a good enough reason to like date someone.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
And because that's the only reason, Like, you're not going
to go and find the right person for that, because yeah,
you're looking for one niche thing that like I know,
I guess you could find him on a trip if
you solo traveled, and like you both happen to be
solo traveling, but I guess.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
But immediately I'm like, could I see myself traveling with
this person?

Speaker 1 (56:24):
No, they're not my soul may like I just.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
I'll cut it so quick. But also, dating, like I said,
isn't a priority to me, so I just don't say
do it? And then my family is like, why are
you single? And I'm like, because I don't care because I.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Could do, but I don't. It's something that interests me,
but I'm not actively that working on it.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
That It's like, I'm if it happened, great, but I'm
not going to go out of my way extreme like
I'm not going to change my life to have it happen.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
That's kind of my thing. And I you know how
there are like people who are chronically in relationships. I'm
so chronically not in a relationship, but I'm the opposite
of those people. I love my exact life and I
don't know how to welcome somebody into the areas that
just are in life. I'm like, I want to be alone.

(57:19):
I don't want anybody sleeping in my bed.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
To wake up next to someone is crazy.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
I was telling my therapists like, then you have to
like talk to someone and entertain someone, and how do
you get somebody to leave? And she was like those
are your thoughts and I was like, yeah, yeah, I
don't want somebody in my own zone. She's like, that's
not what you should be thinking about, though. You should
just be relaxed and present. There's the problem there in lies.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
I was talking to someone at work was like, oh,
my god, I have a ton of single friends. Like,
what's your type? And I was like, I don't know.
It's really hard to describe at this point because like
what do I know?

Speaker 1 (57:54):
And she's like, are you needy? And I was like
not really, no, probably not.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
And she goes, because I have a lot of friends
who work as like lawyers, so they don't have a
lot of free time. I go ideal, I go ideal,
maybe a once a week hang out. I'll never really
bug them, if anything, I'll just send them a bunch
of memes and they never need to respond.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
And she's like, yeah, they just don't have a lot
of time to date, so they don't. But they're looking
for someone who's like also busy in their life. And
I was like, that's my type.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Also, they're Canadian citizens and I was like, that's my time,
that's my tie.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
I'm willing to move to New York. I'm right, that's
my type. I am only needy in that when I
do have your time and energy, I want you to
want to be there. Yeah, Like I feel like I
can tell like when people are just not interested, and
it's like I don't want a mundane sitting next to
somebody on a couch watching a show. I want to
both be interested in things to be together when I'm

(58:52):
with someone, like, I am not needy, except whenever I've
had like three glasses of wine because for some goddamn reason,
wine makes me so emotional. But like on a on
a Sunday through Thursday, basis, we're good. Yeah, yeah, Like
I don't have a little view to chat with me
all day. I I'm fine, let me know you're alive.

(59:13):
If I find a funny video on Instagram, I'll send
it to you. But that's about the extent of what
I need from you during the week. Yeah. And then
like when we do have free time, I want to
be all in. I want to be at the bar
this weekend watching Ncuba tournaments. I agree, I would agree
to be loving the same things. Should we just date

(59:33):
each other? Like, what the fuck?

Speaker 2 (59:36):
Italy, here we come, Italy, We're coming. I got a
follow with my mom. I feel like we got scammed.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
I'm still fucking waiting for my hat though.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
My shit, Okay, what are you watching besides nc double A.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
I finally did it because for the people. Alicia sent
me three voice memos about a week ago that she
had finished Vampire Diaries, and I pause and said, I'm
not listening to these I haven't finished, but I will.
I will finish. And I did it. I finished yesterday.
I listened Alicia's voice memos about the show and the ending,

(01:00:15):
and I cannot believe we're done here. Thank god, I
think again, seasons one through six I can get behind.
I don't think even that it was a little long.
We didn't mind the ending, but we both agread it
needed to die. It made it feel like a show.

(01:00:36):
It wasn't like, oh, these people live on.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Yeah, it was, which I think a lot of shows do,
like One Tree Hill did this too, where they all
show but not the people who have been written off,
which was kind of crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Oh see, I don't. I think I black out season
nine of One Tree Hill. So they ended it in.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
The future at basketball game. They didn't bring back like
a lot of people. They didn't bring back anyone.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
It was just the people that were still on the show,
which like they also those people didn't live in the town,
so they want to just be at a RNOM basketball games.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
Yeah, but like you're gonna tell me you can't pay
to good Chad Michael Murray back for one fucking moment.
But my god, the Vampire Diaries, ninety percent of the
cast died and they all showed back up.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
Now. I really liked that. I was like, Jesus Hell.
I was like, Jenna, what's Jenna doing here?

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
For real?

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Jeremy came back. I was like, what's he? Tyler was there?
I didn't like that they like built that school. I
was like, we have a school just to also have
more people, like supernatural people in this town that is
just suffering. Like Matt just wants these people out of
this town. I an't courting them in this boarding school.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
I love the idea that, like, they have been terrorized
by mythical creatures for over nine years because we had
a time jump, but definitely nine whole seasons. And now
you're like, let's just hone them all together and we
can teach them how to use their powers for good.
You're basically doing Hogwarts and they like Baltimore will be

(01:02:17):
there at some point.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
You like that could be a spinoff show. No stop.
I have to watch The Originals now. I got to
finish that up.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
The Originals is actually good. I just couldn't do both
at the same time. It was too much crossover. I'm
still team Carolina and Klaus.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Or she she got that letter now that Stephan is dead,
she got the money from Klaus and I screamed at
my TV and I was like, hell, yeah, here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
No, I'm still Carolina and Klaus. I'm still team Catherine.
I love when Catherine shows up. Fuck Elena. Catherine was
the superior character in all aspects. She was so funny, Like,
she was so fun her and Damon, their energies were
just palpable eating it like.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
Oh, I told you I sent you a voice mama.
When I saw Katherine there when the coffin was open
and it was like she cosplayed as Elena again, I
was like, oh, I miss this.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
I that was the worst part of Elena being gone
was that we no longer got Catherine.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Yeah. No, like not being on the show.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
I loved though, when it was like talks of her
being back and so they're like, we'll get We'll have
Stephan get married. So she's back, and I was like,
I hope she's so pissed, dude, I.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
Hope she comes in. I was so sudding, dude, like
because they obviously thought she was like gonna come herself.
And then Julie fucking Cooper.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
Co Nickell, I was like, no, I love that actress
whenever she plays a shitty mom. Oh, Julie Cooper nick
Nichol is one of the greatest teen drama characters of
great and then.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
She's Matt shitty mom. I died two years ago and
nobody noticed. I was so sad.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
That's so Julie Cooper Nickel coated like it's so crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
I was like, you were a shitty mom and you
ran away, so yeah, you deserve to die.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
When Matt's dad should have died sooner. What the fuck
was his dad doing here? Matt should always be alone.
He shouldn't have parents, his dad.

Speaker 1 (01:04:27):
I need his sorrow, to be honest. It should have
been like a random uncle who like told him about
his family. I did like him finding out that he
did have like heritage in this town. He thought he
was on the outside the whole time. I was really
really would have helped me growing up.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Now. My favorite bit was Damon hating Matt for set
for nine seasons.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
That was constantly hit to save him because he's the
only human, But how is he alive?

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
How was he not Tyler, Lena, Bonnie, they've all died
like forty times.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
Also, especially after Wait, especially after Matt literally jumped in
the pool with those weights from the weight room to
die to see Vicky and talk to her literally who
saved him?

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
Caroline, Bonnie know what a waste of your powers. I
also am still mad at the writers for how many
times Bonnie had to sacrifice for Elena.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
It wasn't worth it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
Bonnie is a powerful witch from the Bennett line, and
Elena is hanging out with Jeremy in her spare time. No, no, no,
one of these is better than the other.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
I'm really happy that she like broke the curse thing
that I still don't understand, and now she doesn't have
to die for Elena, like at least she now gets to.

Speaker 2 (01:05:42):
Live, thank God, because isn't Elena dead, No, she's alive.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
She's a lie. Now Bonnie was able to like wake
her up, I guess, without having to die herself. Their
lives were linked and now it's linked.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
The ending was confusing because I think at some point
they died, and that's when she's walking through this neighborhood
where she sees all her dead family and then Damon's
reunited with Stephan.

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
I think it's because, well, this actually doesn't make sense
now that I'm about to say this. I thought it
was because Hell was destroyed, so I think all the
people who went to Hell at first were walking around.
But then like Elena's parents were not in Hell, so
I don't know how their souls got released. I think
like they were reunited in death.

Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
Oh, because didn't Damon and Elena have the cure in them?
So they died at I guess Stephen I think inserted
the curing right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
Did not be hit that. I don't think in him,
but they could have. He could have gotten the cure.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
And no off screen, someone got the cure when they
were fighting with Catherine.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
Oh no, not with Catherine.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
It's that when they were holding Catherine so she would
die with them, and Damon's like, let me do this
for me, brother, for us, brother, and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
Like Stepan stab him with it and then push him
out of the fire and took.

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
It got too complicated. The whole series got Why were
there sirens?

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
What were they?

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
If you had the originals, have there be the originals.
There doesn't have to be twelve other vampiric families.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
That we have to like that that have been around
since the beginning of time, but now we're scared of them.
In season four, I didn't like the whole hell stuff
with like Kate. I was like, we never spoke about
this before, and now we're worried about this and this
stupid bell that like wins fire after twelve dings. What's
diabolical is that the feeling that makes it. If they

(01:07:38):
ring it, they can put fire everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
I don't I don't know. I didn't follow any of this.
I will say though, my favorite addition twist was the
like the Twins, the evil twins Kay and Joe because
or Kai.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
I loved Kai as a character.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
I found him absolutely hilarious and absolutely I believed.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
In that addition because these are just two witches that
have been living and now have crossed our yaths. Like
Joe was living she was at the college, and Kai
was dead. But they were like introduced to us in
the right way where it's like these aren't like leg Yeah, yeah,
it's just like people we just met.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
No, but I'll go to bat Kai needed to return
and harder than he did.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
He was one. He's up there with Catherine for me,
like so such.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
A good Sometimes there's just a good villain, and he
was such a good I.

Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
Love what a villain could banter. It's a key.

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
I hate when a villain is just like mean and evil.
I want them to be a little funny, icy, like
you know how Damon was kind of seen as the
villain too for a little bit. That was funny though,
like when he was like kind of pushing Stephan's buttons,
it was.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
Kind of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
It was creepy how he was dating high schoolers, but
we can move on from that, I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
I do actually like the story arcs that like Stephan
is this like purest perfect person, and then he like
as the series goes on, he like has his ripper moment,
so then he like slowly is like going down on
like how you think of him, and Damon is going
up like you kind of get the reverse. I liked it.
I do.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
I do have to say, though, my favorite part of
this whole whole series was when Carolyn or Caroline, she turned.

Speaker 1 (01:09:30):
Her humanity off. I thought that was so good.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
This actress Candae whatever, she did so good at that.
I loved watching Stephan trying to save her, and I
love how she literally was like, I'm going to turn
it off for a little bit, let me do this,
and everyone was like, no, even though the rest of
us have done it, you're not allowed to.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
And she's like, oh my god. My mom just was like, brutally,
I need to turn it off for those.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
Reasons, and she did, and it was beautiful and it
was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
I think they needed to guardrail her for sure, like
they kind of did, like she doesn't need to be
all ripper, but like, no, sure, her emotion's off and
she was great.

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
And then everyone who tried to stop her, she said,
I'll try to kill you, and then she tried to
kill everyone who tried to stop her.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Great.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
That was perfect. I loved her and Stephan together turning
it off. Oh, it was terrible. It was truly a
terrible show, and I loved every second of it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
I didn't. I didn't. I will probably still only watch
seasons like one through three.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
No, you gotta watch when Caroline Caroline, I keep saying
Carolyne because of Traders.

Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
When Caroline and Stephan get season seven was so you
love them together. It just doesn't hit for me in
the same way it feels like, oh, we're both thirty
and single, let's get married. No, no, that's the vibe. There
was something.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
I mean after when they were like getting back together
and like their marriage, that was kind of fucking weird.
But when he's like kind of pining for her and
she's kind of hinding for him, and then her mom
dies and he falls in love with her and now
she's like not for me, Like the will they won't they?

Speaker 1 (01:11:05):
I was really eating the fuck up. I just thought
weird Klaus watch at Stephan and Caroline's wedding when she
was like from the moment I saw you, I'm like, no,
you cannot bring it back to high school because like
he was all in on Alena. Yeah, but she was
in on him. I know, but I just I can't.

(01:11:27):
I can't have it. I it got weird once a
lark got in the picture. That was weird. That was weird.
Why is the teacher dating his ex student? Okay, but
I think it got very cleared up that they weren't
like dating. They were just like having a family together,
which that I don't mind it. We're not gonna sit

(01:11:48):
here and tell me Alar wasn't in love with her.
I think he was in love with the idea of
being married to like the quote unquote mother of his
children because like the real one was dead. I think
he was just like harboring the for like a holistic
family because his wife, oh, his almost wife died on
their wedding deck. God, name a character I hate. It's Alarik.
I didn't like when he was like pouting and didn't

(01:12:10):
really want to go to Stephan and Caroline's wedding. It's like,
you guys, weren't ever in love, Like this was never that. No,
it's literally he was exhausting.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
But overall, can we all agree Caroline was the best
character in the series.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
Yeah, and she really got shafted ninety nine point nine
percent of the time.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
Fact that she finally got what she wanted and then
her husband dies is crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
Oh that was crazy. I did love that Bonnie how
to turn him into a human to like save Elena.
I didn't mind that. I think I think that was
a pretty funny twit turnst out, did I miss this
whole party? Had to turn Stephan into human? Yeah, Enzo
and then he comes into the house. She was like, well,

(01:12:55):
he like said something and and she was like, yeah, nope,
You're gonna be a human And I was like, damn,
get it, get them, get it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
Hell yeah, I'm watching Real Housewives of Orange County.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
Oh yeah, you're catching up. Well I'm starting it. I'm
on season three. You never watched it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
I've only ever watched like seasons one and two, so
I've made it further than I ever have.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
Well what a time because they just hit their nineteen
year anniversary of the first season airing, which I changed
the world. I am on season three.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
I watch it at work, so it's like my background
noise sos in Tamra's in. She she's very tame compared
to what I know she's going to turn into.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
So far.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
Yeah, I would like to say so, I am fascinated
by Tammy's family with the three.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Kids, yes kids, three kids I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
And well it's the daughters Lindsay and I love how
we follow the kids a lot, but.

Speaker 1 (01:14:02):
This is what we're missing from the modern era of housewives.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
I enjoy following Lindsay and Meghan. I think they're interesting.
And then the gena Ko's kids.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
Yeah her, did you have a daughter and a son right?
Or is it two sons?

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
Shane Kara and Coleton. Okay, Shane plays baseball, and that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
Makes sense why you said you told me that you'd
seen him play baseball. I was like, where is this go?
Oh my god, did I tell you this? I don't
texted me, I thought, but it was in like I
wrote it in our notes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
I wrote in notes, I have had to have seen
Shane play baseball because at the time this was airing,
he was playing for the Kane County Cougars in Illinois,
and I.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
Would go watch as a kid the cat I've actually
been to a game of Theirs too, But I think
I think I've seen Shane Koth play. I know, I
think mine was when before he got on the team.
I mean I was season three. It had to have
been twenty Well, let's see, you're two thousand and fine,

(01:15:07):
twenty five SNUS nineteen plus three. It's two thousand and
nine when this is airing, So two thousand and eight
probably when.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Yeah, I was totally going to Kane County Cougars in
two thousand and eight. That's like middle school. Yeah, I
couldn't drive. I was with my parents all the time. Yeah, yeah, no,
that's funny. I will say, though, Kara, one of the
Gina Chiov's daughter. She goes to Berkeley and she's like,
I'm just hiding that I'm a Republican. I was like, yo, yoh,

(01:15:41):
it's a little yuck, you know, like crazy, And I
mean at the reunions, Andy's like that was also.

Speaker 1 (01:15:47):
A different world to being a Republican. Yes, so it
wasn't as bad as this, but like, look at she
wanted to hide it even in that era.

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
Yeah, I mean she was in San France. Berkeley is
a very liberal, yes.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
But I'm just saying, like, it's not like we were
going against judges orders.

Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
Yeah, but I mean like Andy did ask the ladies
in the season one reunion how they voted, and they
were like, we're all Republicans.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
That doesn't shock me, yike.

Speaker 2 (01:16:13):
But I mean on Jersey, that girl, that woman, Siggy,
she was big.

Speaker 1 (01:16:17):
She was like mega though before I think.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
She was off the show before Maga came along, but
she was big.

Speaker 1 (01:16:27):
She was always one of like Republican parties and stuff
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
But yeah, the OC, I was like, yikes, this girl's
being shamed nas she should.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
It's crazy, but you could be shocked at all these
wealthy people, this was what.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
This was like maybe George W. Bushish arap to like
Obama the first this is.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Like Mitt Romney, Yeah against Obama and.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
Romney a Republican, which is fine, but that's interesting. I'm
fascinated though, by Tammy's two daughters. I did find out
in twenty twenty three, one of the daughters, Lindsay.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
Went missing.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
What yeah, oh my god, did you not? Do you
remember Tammy from the Earth, Yes, like two to three,
her daughter Lindsay, the blonde, skinny one that was friends
with Kara.

Speaker 1 (01:17:13):
I didn't know she went missing though, yeah. She It
wasn't like crazy, but so just a smattering of missing. Yeah,
it was what year was this, twenty twenty three? So
in January of twenty twenty three, Lindsay had called her
mom and sounded like she was in trouble from Las Vegas.

(01:17:37):
But then Tammy couldn't get like a hold of her,
so she put on Facebook like has anyone heard from Lindsay?
Blah blah blah. She was on the strip.

Speaker 2 (01:17:47):
She said she needed money like whatever. Lindsay also had
been arrested many times for like drug.

Speaker 1 (01:17:53):
Use and like no.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
Yeah, And so eventually they did find her like like
a few weeks later and she's like she's just like
on the strip of.

Speaker 1 (01:18:04):
US Vegas, like doing drugs. No.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
Yeah, because she she originally called Tammy from not her
cell phone. Oh that's scary, and then Tammy couldn't get
a hold of her, so she found the missing persons.
They found Lindsay. She because she called her mom and
was like I'm fine, I just need money.

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
Yeah, Oh that breaks my heart sad.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Who else is on the show? This girl Quinn, who
I fucking hate?

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Remember her? She was a cougar. You don't remember the cougar? No,
not based on the name. She looks a little familiar,
but no, I don't remember her as much because that
means she's not gonna be around long yet. Well, this
show has also been on for nineteen years, so like, yeah,

(01:18:53):
that's true. I was watching this in middle school.

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
Yeah, but you you remember the ones that are important
and they yeah, it's not gonna be around. I mean
Vicky Perr always whoa lover, but she's terrible. I love
what a control freak she is. And her kids are
just like she's fucking crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:19:10):
They're just like leving.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
She's like, I'm not crazy, like literally she's yelling and
Brianna and Michael are like can somehow ignore her, but
like Brianna's boyfriend Colby is straight up like Vicky's so
fucking weird, dude, Like they all are like crazy, but
they're just.

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
It's so normal, like it's normalized, so it's easy to
tune around because they've been doing it their whole life.
I miss this version of real Hot Size where it
wasn't so serious and so salacious, like there was drama.
But the problem is it's kind of like these stupid
shows that we're watching, like Vampire Diditers. They keep having
the level up on the drama to keep people interested,

(01:19:46):
and so it just gets more and more severe, and
now we're like throwing out cheating rumors about husbands and
like lawsuits and like crazy shit, No, this is it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Watching Vicky try to get ready for a trip to Mexico.
Oh was so crazy. I could have watched it all
day because then Michael has his friend and his girlfriend
there and Gita, Colby, and Carra are go on this
trip too, and they're like, my god, Vicky's Colton fucking
hates Vicky.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
Like the kids are so involved. It's so funny and
then we'll but think about it. Now you have people
have like racks of clothes that they buy specifically for
these trips, so like planning and going on these trips
are not as insane, and they all bring g Liam
and it's just like all organized with like an assistant. Now, yeah,
this is way more fun.

Speaker 2 (01:20:34):
I mean, Laurie then has her daughter Ashley, and they're
all part of this oc angels. I'd watch them take
a driving test that was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:20:44):
She also has.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
Her kid, Josh, who I'm pretty sure she I know
he's like into drugs, which is very sad. But I
also think Glori probably didn't give him the attention he
was like screaming for.

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
LRII loves to date, She's, she loves She's, She's got
and George yeah, and Sophie her favorite kid.

Speaker 1 (01:21:05):
Very obviously.

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
But these women are so interesting because they never hang
out and then they get together once or twice and
then they're like this is crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
It was more about their like own individual lives. Yeah,
I kind of miss that like too.

Speaker 2 (01:21:22):
I love when I tell you, I could watch Vicky,
Brianna and Michael in a room together forever those three
are so stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:21:30):
Mike get ready because Brianna becomes like a a like
side character on the show, like her and Kolby is
still together. No, so they never had sex. Oh, I
don't know about that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
Vicky's very big on no sex and Brianna and Kolby
are saving themselves for marriage.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
She marries a guy in the military and she has
to move away at some point and it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
Is oh, Vicky's gonna hate that, does Michael. Is Michael
still with that girl Lauren? Probably not? No, the bolder girl. No,
I do love Michael though, getting into insurance, and Vicky
is so funny.

Speaker 1 (01:22:12):
She will not let this kid breathe on her. Like
last season, he's like working for her. Yeah, and it's
the same energy where he's just like, leave me alone,
just like life. Nineteen years later.

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
She takes him to Seattle because she knows he won't
learn from her. Yeah, and he's like the cameras were
so involved with the kids. Michael is taking us around
the office and he's like, this is the really exciting
part where I get to staple papers together and he
staples them and he's like, if my mom was here,
she'd tell me I'm stapling wrong. Cut to Vicky finding

(01:22:44):
him and going the staple is supposed to go this way,
not that way.

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Next time you do it, go this way, and he
literally is just I need to rewatch this.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
It's so funny that seasons two and three are hulla
of this show.

Speaker 1 (01:23:01):
I'm giggling at my desk at word. Yeah. When Gretchen
shows up is when things start to go like a
little bit toxic. Not that Gretchen's toxic that they the
cast just gets It's like, why did we do this
to her?

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
I also need to rewatch your timeline on Tamra may
I just asked what happens with her son Ryan?

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
Does he get arrested? A lot happens with him. I
didn't even put the Ryan stuff in there, because are
they not close? Those two? There's no way those two are. No,
they are because she got pregnant when she was young
with him. Yeah, and so is Simon hates right. Yeah,
So it's constantly a battle on the show about where
you're at about Ryan. But like Simon and Tamra get

(01:23:44):
divorced and so oh yeah, she's not really like fighting
with a significant other about Ryan. Now she has to
be kind of like the bad guy and do it herself,
like she can't be. Like having Simon there I think
was helpful because it gave Ryan some guardrails that like
Tamra didn't have to put up herself, and so you
just kind of see Ryan like go off the deep end.

(01:24:07):
He just I think he just always has been a
little troubled.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
And then I mean he didn't he didn't grow up
with a father.

Speaker 1 (01:24:14):
He had an eighteen year old mother.

Speaker 2 (01:24:16):
Yeah, you know, props to Tamra for like, you know,
raising Ryan on her own as an eighteen year old.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
But Tama starts to get wild, so then it becomes
I think, like how dare you yell at me? Like
they kind of I think in a wild phase in
this similar path. But he's just like getting tattoos and
things that she deems as like crazy and it was
crazy at that time. He gets like fully tatted up
and it's just like chaotic parent. Well, he also like fight,

(01:24:42):
doesn't have a job. He's like fighting with Simon.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
I get it to an extent, but I think because
Tamra got pregnant so young, it's more of like her
and Ryan are friends. Yes, I mean he fucking is
like holding her underwear at one point, and I was like,
this is so fucking weird.

Speaker 1 (01:25:02):
That's her son and they all get more money. So
then like I think he just gets worse because she
will just give him money. Yeah, he doesn't really do
anything with his life, but he does turn around eventually. Okay, good,
I'm running for him, but then it takes another deep
turn because he just is a terrible human being.

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
I'm like at the point where I'm rooting for him,
he just keeps like, like.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
I know he hates his job, but I'm like, just work.
Some of it is like there's a lot of like
looking down upon him because it was the times, you know,
like we hated the tattoos and like like now it's
just like more normalized, like kids drinking and like all
the stuff he was doing is not that crazy. But
because he's constantly being scolded, I think then it gets or.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
Yes, oh, I love the kids partying and how cameras
were just like at their underage parties. It was such
a time, And I love that car of Gina Kio's
kids hates alcohol, so she's berating everyone, which is so stupid,
Like I would have been like who invited her, like
get her out. But there's something very interesting about the

(01:26:14):
parenting styles of all the different women that I'm also
very interested. Like Gina Keo does not discipline her children. No,
Like Shane is really mean to his younger brother and
like nothing fucking happens to him.

Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
For the first season. She's like, that's just siblings, and
I'm like.

Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
No, but he's like mean, he's like you know, and
like obviously her husband is a fucking loser. I think
though he has brain damage, truly, but because he got hit.
He got hit with the ball and he's never been
the same, that's what they keep saying since he got
that huge concussion.

Speaker 1 (01:26:50):
I'm like, I think I think he has a brain injury, y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
But he's also very unpleasant to be around, Like truly,
I see why she's separated from him.

Speaker 1 (01:27:00):
Like Vicky is so overbearing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
Yeah, but her kids are actually kind of on the
straight and narrow, like not really doing anything bad.

Speaker 1 (01:27:08):
Yeah. Yeah, they aren't bad kids, Like they've never had
a bad She has like the best kids. I think,
although she's overbearing, I don't think she needs to be. Yeah,
but she's wanted to be overbearing with them. But I
feel like the way like people are overbearing with Ryan
leads him to like doing more and being worse, whereas
like Vicky's just overbearing in her like they.

Speaker 2 (01:27:31):
Laugh at her, they don't like take her seriously. But
I think, yeah, Brianna and Michael at their core just
like normal teenagers like that, maybe drink.

Speaker 1 (01:27:40):
A little bit like personality, not necessarily her being like
so hard on them and.

Speaker 2 (01:27:45):
Like, yeah, but they are really it like surprises me.
They're really good kids, Like they just really.

Speaker 1 (01:27:50):
Are and they stay really good.

Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
Gina Ko's kids are like I think, good kids, but
I think to each other, they're like I don't think
they're very nice kids. That makes sense, Like I think
you're good and not doing anything bad, but like Shane's
very inappropriate, Like he made comments to Tammy about her
boobs and I was like, that's really inappropriate.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
Yeah, Like I think they're the middle ground.

Speaker 2 (01:28:12):
Yeah, And then like Laurie's kids, it's hard because like
one's young and then Ashley's kind of I don't really know.

Speaker 1 (01:28:21):
Could go either way.

Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
I think Ashley overall is like a fine kid, but
she doesn't seem to have much drive, which is a concern.

Speaker 1 (01:28:29):
I wonder if that's like something that consistently happens in
that area, because these people are like wealthy enough.

Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
But I think really learn well, she's like a dollar
I'm going to be an oc angel and sell this
energy drink and that's my career path. And I was like,
oh my god, no, stop stop doing this. And then Tammy,
she's very hands off with her girls. She, if anything,
is pushing them in the real world because their dad
died and now the wife gets all the money. That's

(01:28:56):
not Tammy the mail order practice what they called this woman.
It's crazy, but that now they're like poor but they
want to like you know, that is like.

Speaker 1 (01:29:08):
The early seasons. They're not like loaded loaded well tell
me especially it's very broke compared to the other women,
but like like rich people broke where they just don't
have a lot of cash flow, but they like have
a house. They like they're they're kind of fine, but
they have to She has to work, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:29:25):
She works, and she can't give her because it used
to be her daughter's got all the money from their dad,
and then the dad passed and has no will, so
all the money goes to his other wife, who is
now not paying any of the bills. So these daughters
are like working and now they're like not used to
like he used.

Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
To have money to go spend on like the mall.
So it's like it's it's the extra stuff that they
used to have in life.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
And then Laurie's husband, George has this daughter who's like
such spoiled, rich skin energy, Like she's like, it's sad
they don't have any money, and I'm like, oh, my god,
y'all are in Miami. You can find fun shit to do.

Speaker 1 (01:30:01):
I know. Oh, it's so interesting. Sorry, I had like
people also used to like not go into credit card
debt to like have all this stuff. Like now that's
just don't normalize that. Like people just bye bye bye
bye bye and are like whatever, it's final. It's very
weird to be like somehow.

Speaker 2 (01:30:16):
Vicky's like that all LEAs dome like it's so and
she she like, I think where I'm at right now,
she's a working mother. She's showing like she owns her
own business. Her kids are on like a really good path. Sure,
she's got her issues with her husband what's his name,
Don And they like love the used to love to
drink My god, put a drink in front of Vicky

(01:30:37):
and she's in on it. Don too love an alcoholic beverage,
these two. But like, overall, if I had to be
a part of a family, I might pick Vicky's family.

Speaker 1 (01:30:46):
Well, Vicky's family is interesting compared to like Tammy, because
Vicky wants to work. It's because she's like hustle and
like loves that and like has that energy. It's not like, Oh,
to sustain us, I have to work. So Vicky's storyline
of working is also different. That's true.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
Tammy doesn't like want to work, but she has to. Yeah,
and then I mean, yeah, I don't think I want
to be a part of the Koh family.

Speaker 1 (01:31:09):
My god, No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
But Gina Ko like cracks me up her friendship with Vicky.
Those who are funny.

Speaker 1 (01:31:17):
I'm having a great time. I'm having a great time
on this show. I really am. Am glad you are.
I had to talk about it. It is I think
one of the most solid franchises. It like doesn't have
as much of a downturn. And when they have a downturn,
because it's the OG, I think they are more sensitive
to it. So when it does have like maybe an
off season. They really get in there quickly and like

(01:31:38):
resolve it. Like there's a down season around I think
like season twelve or thirteen, and that's when they bring
Tamra back because Tambaut leaves for I think two seasons.

Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
They also are very good at like like they had
Joe at first, who is kind of like the Bethany Frankel,
like she's like this poor like comparatively to the rest
of the women.

Speaker 1 (01:31:59):
She's like dating that guy Slade.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
It's also a small world because like Slade is still
talked about and then Joe shows up, and Joe is crazy.
I've gotta be honest, this woman is like I know she's.

Speaker 1 (01:32:10):
Twenty one or twenty three or whatever. She's certifiably so
I always thought it was crazy she was on it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
And it's crazy that she's literally twenty three.

Speaker 1 (01:32:22):
I didn't realize that she excars. Maybe my god, there's
something weird. Anyway. Are you listening to anything? I'm not,
but I did see I didn't listen to these, but
I did see four Bravo podcasts launched, like this week
two from Real Housewives in New York. From the newbies

(01:32:44):
Jia Judai is Judice dropped a podcast and I forget
the last one doing what. I don't what she's talking about.
I don't know. Oh oh, Bravo, this is what pisses
me off. Bravo. Onle her, like Daily Dish put out
an article and was like, oh, she's taking a pause
from like law school, and everybody in the comments is like,

(01:33:06):
she's not taking a pause. She never started, like she
did poorly on the l SATs, so like she's not
going to law school. Okay, she's pivoting.

Speaker 2 (01:33:14):
There's no episode out yet, but it's called Casual Chaos,
where your favorite Jersey girl is finally telling her story, unfiltered, unedited, unapologetically.

Speaker 1 (01:33:28):
Rude, to take our line, what's her unapologetically full, so
fucking rude, for moments you didn't see on camera, to
secrets nobody nobody's dared to tell.

Speaker 2 (01:33:40):
Gia is bringing you behind the scenes like never before.
She's talking love life because let's be real, there's been
a journey, wellness and the truth behind the headlines, and
of course she's got the receipts. Plus she'll be sitting
down with some of the biggest names in pop culture
for casually chaotic conversations. My God, you won't hear anywhere else.
So poor yourself and expresso martini and get ready, because

(01:34:02):
once you start listening, you'll be waking up in the
morning thinking about so many things dot dot dot What
am I thinking about?

Speaker 1 (01:34:09):
Also, telling people to poor an espresso martini to listen
to your show is diabolical. I gotta get drunk to
listen to you. Here's my thing. So is she gonna
tell her story from the beginning or is this more
like an interview podcast? Oh no, I just listen, my
bravo lebs. I want you to be the pop culture.

(01:34:30):
I don't want you to comment on the pop culture.
It ruins the sheet, you know, the yeah, like you're
the one who is supposed to be talked about, not
doing the talking. Oh terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:34:43):
I'm listening to speaking of Brandy Broski. Earlier she released
a fucking song. Dude, I saw that.

Speaker 1 (01:34:51):
I don't post that or yes, okay, I was somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:34:55):
She sounds amazing. She's doing a cover of Adore You
by Hair Styles.

Speaker 1 (01:35:01):
Holy, I didn't know she could sing. I did, I
mean either?

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
I heard like people like some podcaster that she's friends with,
was like, you know when I hate about Britney Broski.
She can also sing really well, and I just thought, like,
she sings on her podcast a little, and she has
like a little talent, but holy shit, she's got She's
got a voice of an angel. And I reposted it
and was like to think, this all happened to her

(01:35:26):
because she took a sip of kombucha, which I think
is extra funny because if you don't know she she's
the kombucha girl. And then her meme got started and
it was yeah, the maybe, but she got really big
on gay Twitter. I don't know if you I didn't
know this where then people were putting her face to

(01:35:47):
like when you try anal for the first time. And
then it was the meme Oh my god, and the
bank she worked at in Texas fired her because of it.
So she literally went, I guess I'll try to be
a content creator then, and then it took off like
it it's all.

Speaker 1 (01:36:01):
Because she took a sip of kobucha. Well, it's like
one of those things that once your face becomes recognizable, yeah,
you can basically do anything.

Speaker 2 (01:36:08):
Well, she wasn't even gonna be a content creator. It's
like the funniest part it's the fact that she got
fired and she was.

Speaker 1 (01:36:14):
Like, well, what do I do. Here's the thing. If
I get fired, if I get laid off, and this
terrible economy we're in, I am going hard. Yeah, I'm
a content creator.

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
I guess it was so funny though that, like she
didn't even mean to. It's all because she took a
sip of kombucha and I look at her.

Speaker 1 (01:36:30):
Those are the people I want because then they're relatable
and they're just normis who also have a platform. Also,
I'll fight.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
Brandy Broski is my favorite influencer of the times. I
find her so unapologetically herself. She says whatever she's thinking,
she does whatever she wants, but she's so unproblematic about
it too, like she actually is on the good fight,
but she's funny about it, Like she has talked about

(01:36:57):
all the crushes she's had. Not to bring up her
Cole Sprouse interview again. In nineteen, she was writing on
Tumblr fanfic about Cole Sprouse.

Speaker 1 (01:37:08):
God that she's then this.

Speaker 2 (01:37:09):
Could be so embarrassing, right, but no, She prints it
out and gives him the script that she wrote about him.
Coming back from the Gulf War a changed man and
he's married to her, and he read it and he
was like, this is kind of good, and she's like,
isn't it crazy? I was like fantasizing about you, and
to anyone else it would be so embarrassing, but it's

(01:37:29):
so funny with her.

Speaker 1 (01:37:31):
She also did a whole thing where she.

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
Was like, like, she was talking about how in love
she is with Paul Maskell, and then she got to
interview him. She talked about how hot Timothy shall May
is and then she interviews.

Speaker 1 (01:37:42):
Him, just putting that into the universe. Get she just
is speaking it and she's so funny.

Speaker 2 (01:37:48):
She's so funny about it, and that's the kind of
open and honesty I want to live my life with.

Speaker 1 (01:37:54):
And she's just so good.

Speaker 2 (01:37:56):
She Oh my god, I love Brittany Broski and everyone
who is so well everyone she deems acceptable.

Speaker 1 (01:38:03):
To associate with.

Speaker 2 (01:38:04):
Okay, Okay, if she supports you, I support you too,
because I love Brandy Brosky.

Speaker 1 (01:38:09):
Green stamp of Approval.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
And there have been moments that people she's associated with
have then done very problematic things and she has spoken
out against them then and been like, this is not
how I want my brand to be. Perceived because like,
that's not who I am. And I'm like, yeah, Britdy
Broski for the wind. And if she and she ever
does become problem or she does become problematic, I'm literally

(01:38:31):
gonna die because who do I root for?

Speaker 1 (01:38:33):
You know, that'd be hard. I don't think she will.
I don't think she'll turn against I.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
Mean, she's a white woman. It could happen, but I
don't think the masses are against.

Speaker 1 (01:38:43):
She's very aware too. It seems like if she ever
screws up, because we're all human, she would apologize correctly,
not with a note.

Speaker 2 (01:38:51):
Yeah, she's also just having a fun time reading her
fantasy books thinking of hot men.

Speaker 1 (01:38:56):
That's it, Like she is all about she can do
a perfect British accent. She's so funny.

Speaker 2 (01:39:02):
Dude, I love Britney Broski. Anyway, go listen to her song.

Speaker 1 (01:39:06):
It's so good. That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
Great, what a great show. It's Saturday morning. Let's go
watch the NCUBLEA now, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (01:39:17):
Well Greggs for joining. Bye,
