  Speaker 4: bathing suit this season on Housewives and yeah and.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Are looking glovey stop stop it right now.
• 2:25

• 2:29
  Speaker 4: would walk in Swim Week if they asked you in
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: the future.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I guess, like I wish I could be so humble
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: as to say I didn't think about this when seeing
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: my compagnos walk because Kelsey walks in the cups she
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: show and like, holy crap, like are you kidding me? Kelsey?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: She looked so unbelievable, but she looked like she should
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: be like a Victoria's Sagaret model. And I was like,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wonder if next year I would be
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: asked just because you see these BRAVA celebrities there being bottles,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, well, I would certainly have to put
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of more effort in because I'm telling you,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: like I haven't worked out consistency since before Dawson.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: But a spray tand does you well too. It can
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: make a difference. Spray tand can make you feel quite good.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: So I'm telling you we saw you in a bathing
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: suit more than once this season. We saw you going
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: down the slip and slide. We saw you guys at
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: the speech day like you're looking good. You're looking good,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: and that was almost a year ago, like your two.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I would love to see it, That's all I same.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I think my tummy has toned up since then because
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that was not even a year since I had had Hayden. Crazy, yeah, crazy,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: So all right, everybody looked killer is basically what.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: We want to say.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And Miami swim Meek is really becoming more and more
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: of a thing every single year, definitely.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: So this is a sad update.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Katie Thurston reveals that her liver isn't okay and she
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: will need another biopsy and a new cancer up date.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: So the last big update we got from Katie was
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: that she got to the double missectomy last month and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: then she got implants immediately, and I know that she
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: was happy with that. But since then she's been documenting
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: her recovery and she revealed that she needs to get
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: more testing down her liver, said that her liver isn't okay.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: We'll need an MRI and likely another biopsy. So we
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: know that when she initially was diagnosed with cancer about
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a little over a year ago, she did have a
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: spread to her liver, which is why she's Stage four,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: but the treatment made it so that it disappeared and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: it was so wonderful, And now she said she's been
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: she stopped treatment recently because she got to a point
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: where she was like, she just wanted to kind of
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: take a break. She said she wanted to take a
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: break because she was a worry that the treatments were
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: actually damaging her liver. And so now she she says
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: that she's reached a point where it seems like maybe
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: it's something else.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: She's like, is it is the cancers? Is it back?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Is it the lupron injections. I don't know what lupron
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: injections mean, she goes, but those spikes coincide with my injections.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming the spikes are like some sort of like
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: liver flare ups.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Lupron is a synthetic hormone that treats symptoms of prostate cancer,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: early on set puberty, and other hormone related conditions.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, she basically said that she is going to get
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: another scan and biopsously done.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: However, she's going on.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: In Alaskan cruise with her husband soon and she wants
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: to wait until after they get back because she says,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: scan anxiety is something I don't need. I understand that,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: but then like do you? But then on you're on
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the curuise and you're really enjoying it, I don't know.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, listen, she has been through so much and
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: I'm sure we only even know a fraction of the
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: stuff that she's you know, willing to share with her
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: audience and publicly.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: But girl, you deserve that cruise. Go on that, enjoy
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: that cruise.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure she has to compartmentalize and she's
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: learned how to do that in this last you know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: year plus of treatment, because otherwise you wouldn't be having
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: any fun or looking forward to anything. So go do it,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: have a great time, enjoy what cruises bring, which is
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: like twenty four hours.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Joy.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you would know you're a cruiser. I love it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: When I saw this.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: As much as I feel like, would I be able
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: to join the cruise, I also think, oh, you can't.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: You can't ruin the case.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Literally, you love a cruise, you you you really do?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Alrighty.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: So, in cute news, Joey Grassidy and Kelsey Anderson are celebrating.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Their new proposal. So it's been more than.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Two years since he proposed to Kelsey during season twenty
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: eight of the Bachelor, and as many bachelors or bachelorette
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: winners do, he has now reproposed on a vacation when
• 7:17

• 7:32
  Speaker 2: already extraordinary and making it fully our own.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: It means the world.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: It means the world to be able to reaffirm our promise,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to want and to love one another just for the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: two of us forever. Isn't enough with you. I can't
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: wait to make you my wife. So freaking cute. What
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: a beautiful couple.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Also, the ring is stunning and kind of unique with
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: what looks like little emeralds on the side.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I wonder, oh I love emeralds on the song.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: I wonder if there's some sort of special meaning to that,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: because I think that that is a really unique choice.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: But it makes me wonder what happens to.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: The Neil Lane ring when you do these kinds of
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: like reproposal, Like do you think people.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Keep the Neil Lane ring from the show or.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Do you think they hawk it to go towards something else.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, we know that they're planning a wedding right now.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I feel like.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Neil Lane curses every time this happens. I mean, why
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: does everyone want to take my ring off their finger.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: He's like the couples that break up the ring leaves
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: and then the couples that stay together for a long
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: time they get replaced. Okay, So I want to show
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: you either the ring that a local jeweler gave me,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: this one's to borrow, and it is a but if
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I really wanted it, like he probably would bargain something
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: with me. And it's a lab grown So I would
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: do a lab grown now because I just think, like,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: you know, lab grown and who the hell Carros was?
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I've got a lab ground and it was like it
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: it's it's great, Like for the price.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: This is lab grown, and I've gotten so many compliments
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, I sure this is.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: What he let me borrow and they wanted and that
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: there's a point to this story. Yeah, because for my
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: press tour for New York in New York before the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Housewives season started, it was like, you should wear this
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: as like your new engagement ring, like this is your
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Housewives and I'm like, oh yeah, and then I couldn't
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: do it because I'm so sentimentally attached to my Neil
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Layne ring from bachelor.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I'm never gonna be able to get rid of this,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Like this is forever my ring.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: So but look at this ring.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, Oh my god, I know it literally
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: the you string I've probably ever seen my.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Put it on. Put it on. I can't do it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: It makes you feel so put on your other hand, then, yeah,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: I know that's what I did. That's okay, I wore
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: it on my other hand. Oh, now I'm seeing it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Maybe I need to start to hear it's so pretty,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, Like pull your hand back though, you
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: mean you have to get up that close to me.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I can see it from a mile away. Neil Lane,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I'm keeping my ring on. I love that you're sentimental.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I'm so sentimental.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I have clothes in my closet that I'm like.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I can't get rid of that. I wore that dress
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: that day on our honeymoon. I've been there.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: I kept I remember, I kept a dress in my
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: past relationship because I was like, that's the dress I
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: was wearing the day I met you, and I like
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: hung on to it. I hung on for a decade.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: But that oh, the first things to go.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Relash I still have that from past situations as well.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Just oh no, I know that sounds awful, but it's
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: just memories.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Like that's the thing.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I can't keep stuff with memories attached. If it's gone,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: it's gone. Even the jewelry people told me save the jewelry.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I did not. The jewelry went bye bye. I guess.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, I understand that if I had jewelry from
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: another guy, and then it would I that You're right.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: If it's from another person, that's weird. That's weird, right,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: But somebody, if you have a dress that like reminds
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: you of the day and it was such a great day,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I think that's okay.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I guess, Like if I would ask Jared if he
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: like wanted to keep an outfit, just yeah, I guess
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be okay with that.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: That's super funny.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: It's like, are you okay with me wearing this shirt
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: because I like met my accident, I'd be like, no,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: that's a wacky get rid of it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Going back to your Neil Lane ring, I've had a
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: lot of friends that took their original engagement ring as
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: it's been upgraded over the years, took their original one.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Had it repurposed into a necklace and then wore their
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: upgraded ring. So I mean you could always do that
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: with your knee lane, that's true, turn it into a pendant.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my mom like kept adding on to her ring.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people do that.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then she just gave up and then she
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: was like, nah, just give you the big old new one,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: moving on, And I'm just I just gotta say on over time, Joey.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Whatever emerald you put on the side, I mean absolutely
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: love it.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Very cool, very cool.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: I just feel like we've been talking about their wedding
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: for forever, so I can't wait until it happens next year.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just glad it's really going to happen. You
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: know what a wonderful bachelor season that led to a
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: beautiful relationship. So next up we have Maria Georgis isn't
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: gorgeous Georgis another last name. Georgias always had problems with Georgis,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: saying and Rachel krecconnell. They went on vacation last week
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: to the Virgin Islands and they were joined by two
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: guys from Taylor Frankie Paul season of The Bachelorette, Shane
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Pardon and Mike.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Jurto, So the two of them.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, Shane was supposedly the runner up, and he's cute.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: He is cute. I just think this is so he
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: was your fave, you loved him. I did like him.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: He was a little bit dickish in the first episode,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: because you guys, we got to see the first episode
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and then he he was like a sour Patch kid.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: He was like sour and then he was sweet and
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you're like, Okay, I get it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: There's an appeal there.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he definitely has the Riz, as the kids would say.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I just think it's so interesting because he's also I
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: believe it's not confirmed, but rumored to be on a
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: new Hulu show that's going to be coming out. That's
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: like Hulu's version of Traders, is what they're saying.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Is that how you're.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Pairing them up, Shane and Rachel and then Maria with
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: this guy Mike.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: I just think it's I am always so skeptical, right,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: It's like, are you hanging out with these people because
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: you like having fun with them and you're actually friends
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: with them, or is this like something bigger and you're
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: looking to like climb up the ranks kind of a thing.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Like that's always kind of where my mind goes.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, now that I'm looking at Mike, I remember, Mike,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: do you think that this is like a double date vacation.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: It kind of was giving those vibes in the videos
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: that I saw, the little like clips, but I don't
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: think anything is confirmed. But again, I I'm just like
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: of this mindset now where people who make content sometimes
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I think it's just not genuine, right, Like it's like
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: I'll shoot with you or I'll do this with you
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: because it looks good and benefits both of us kind
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: of things. So I never know if people are like
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: actually flirty and like hitting it off and having a
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: good time, or just like hey, let's go shoot content,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: let's go on a trip together.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: It'll be beneficial for all of us.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I'm guilty of it in the sense that I think
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: all the friends kind of use each other like back
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: in that time, but like not use in a gross way.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: It was more like, Hey, I have to do a
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: diff sunglass ad. Can you come and take the picture
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: with me? Yeah, But it's like there's a genuine friendship there,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: and then like you go to dinner afterward and all that,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: but like, yeah, double the Bachelor people in a pick
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the double the likes.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I just also think, like Rachel Kirconnell, don't you think like,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: just after all she's been through that the last thing
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: she's going to do is get involved with somebody from
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Bachelor Nation.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I just want her to like be with a.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Super star, like I just like, I'm like, Rachel, I
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: want you to be a top model.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I just don't think it's like on her radar or
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: like what her vibe would be, Like, I just don't
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: see Rachel Kirconnell getting with a tailor Frankie Paul.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Cast Off, Yeah, I agree. I think this is the
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: extent to which she goes.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Exactly like she's she's having fun and like I'm sure
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: if her ex still follows her on social media, you.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Know, I don't know if he does.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Well, maybe it got back to him that she was
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: hanging out with a cute guy on vacation.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just can't believe how gorgeous he is. She is.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: She's gorgeous, he's gorgeous. They're all gorgeous. You know, hot
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: people things.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: More hot people. Emily Ferguson. She announced her third pregnancy,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: and yes it is a boy. That is three boys.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: She and I went back and forth like lightly on Instagram.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: She told me about this pregnancy a few weeks ago.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I had said something along the lines of if you
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: have gender disappointment about having a boy, like just know this,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and she was like, thanks for this reminder because I'm
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: having my third boy. I was like, goodness, gracious girl.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I mean I would say, yay my own Jonas brothers.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: She says, yay, my own hockey team. Yeah. The thing
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: is her kids are younger than mine, so she like,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: legit is gonna have like three boys all under four,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: like when this kid comes out, like they're all gonna
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: be four and under.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: And is this the first time though, that she's pregnant
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: at the same time as her sister.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: It might be yeah, because they posted that that was
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: like just like they were so in love with the
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: idea that was happening, and Haley is pregnant with her
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: second girl.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: That's literally crazy to be twins and be pregnant at
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: the same time.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: That's gotta be.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: So like just twins doing things together through life, like
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: even hitting major milestones, Like that's crazy.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Next headline, Hannah Brown breaks down fearing She breaks down,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: fearing that fans may not like her. She shares her
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: actual life. So this is like, was the saddest thing
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: ever I saw in real time. On Instagram story, she
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: said that she had a meeting with her team, you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: like her management team, and they were like, we feel
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: like you're not opening up on Instagram, which I know
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: is like the silliest thing that people who aren't influencers
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: would need to get here whatever here, but basically they're like,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: we just feel like, you know, you're not being yourself
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: on there. And then she came on Instagram and she
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, like they were right. I feel like
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the reason I don't share everything is because I don't
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: fully like myself right now, and so I think I'm
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: scared that if I show you guys my actual life,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: you may not like me or I might let you down,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: because I.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Do feel like a lot of people look up.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: To me, and sometimes I'm like why, she said, I
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: don't have it all figured out, and I'm scared if
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I did start showing more, you're gonna be like, oh
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: my gosh, she not okay, She's not okay, And maybe
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not right now. I've had a lot going on
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: and I want to be a better version of myself.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I really do, so maybe this breakdown is what I needed.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: And it's like really sad. Hannah is going to be
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: coming to Audrey's in a few weeks, and.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: I hope she's feeling better.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: But by then, but she you know, has her third
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: book coming out and they're doing this big move. They're
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: living with her parents right now for maybe even up
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to nine months when their house is getting reconstructed, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: they've been married for a year.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Almost I think, but something it sounds like some imposter syndrome,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: which I'm sure like being on camera, like just being
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: plucked from obscurity in a lot of ways, Like you
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: can probably relate.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you felt that at times too.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine like being thrust into the spotlight and
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: like all of a sudden having a huge following and
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: you're like, wait, I'm just like a normal person, Like
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: what's happening to my life?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: It's sometimes with brand deals, I'm like no, no, no, you don't.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: You don't need to why would you want to pay me?
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Why would no?
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Like you know, or like I'll be I went to
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: the pool at the.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: It was the Fourth Seasons the other day, and I
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: was like, I don't belong at the at the Four
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Seasons pool. This is way too cool for me, Like
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be like a loser and so awkward here.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: So it definitely is happening to me a little bit
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: more often too. And every time I go on Instagram
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: and I like I'm talking to it, like a lot
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: of the times I'll post slides with overlay because that's
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: what I feel like. I'm a better communicator through writing,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: which is hilarious that I have a podcast that's lasted,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: you know, eight nine years. But I feel like sometimes
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: when I flip the camera over and I'm just talking,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, oh wow, I just don't know how
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: to talk, so like I guess I just won't or
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: maybe I'm sharing this, but it's really boring and why
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: would I need to put that out there for the world.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Do you ever feel like And maybe she's kind of
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: alluding to this too, but Instagram really a couple of
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: years ago started to become extremely curated and not real
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: whatsoever and unattainable in a lot of ways. And I
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: think TikTok becoming so prominent has really changed that because
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: TikTok is messy and raw and like who cares about
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: lighting and perfection and all of that, And so is
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: it maybe a mental shift to to like be open
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: and raw on Instagram where it was like, wait, just
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, everybody was like showing off
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: their curated life and that everything was rosy and gorgeous
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: and nobody was crying on Instagram, you know what I mean?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, So yeah, I find that Instagram used to be
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: more curated than it is. Yeah, you know what I mean, right, Okay,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: so that's what the page were on. Yes, And I
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: also feel like they've made the algorithm more and more game,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: so it's just like it in like further confusing.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: But maybe that's what she's struggling with.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's what I struggle with. On aw it's
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: the stupidest thing too. And again, like a person who's
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: on an influencer, but like I think about the algorithm
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: way too much because you can do stuff that you're
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: proud of or you think is really funny or relatable,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: and then you post it and then it doesn't get
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: any hits and you're just like, wait, what.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Like that I thought that would have worked.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: It didn't work, so you kind of like feel like
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: a failure sometimes a lot of the times when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: post something and you get more picky and then like
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: and then you're like, oh, but they tell us that
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: the more you post, the better your algorithm is doing,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: So I guess I need to post more, But then
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I feel stupid. So I totally understand what she's talking about,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: if that's what she's If that's what she's talking about.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And then when you're super authentic, then you're also
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: opening yourself up to criticism and negativity, and so you're like, well,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: you're criticizing a part of me, or you're criticizing my life,
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: So then that can be like a personal attack. But
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: if you don't open up and you don't open up
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: to your audience, then you never know how they're going
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: to react to you being vulnerable. So I'm sure it's
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: a catch twenty two in a lot of ways that
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I will never fully understand because that's not the world
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: that I'm in. But it sounds like you can relate
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: to what she's going through.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And also like she had that moment of cancelization
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: and this is like five years ago. But I can
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: only imagine that also hinders how open you are. Yeah,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: we don't need to get into that moment of hers,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: but I can only imagine, like, I've said some dumb
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: things and it makes you more and more censored.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's also married, right, so maybe she's also being like,
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: if I say things now, it's also a reflection on
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: my husband or something could come for my husband, you
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: know what I mean.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: So I'm sure there's a lot of layers to it, but.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, I think it's really
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: big of her to open up and share even this
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: that she's struggling with it on her social media and
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: like let people in and see kind of that side
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: of her a little bit, and you know, maybe she'll
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: start to open up a little bit more and whatever
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: feels comfortable for her.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I overanalyze everything that I put out there, and it's like,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: you know, it's weird because you're like, oh and being
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: so myself, But then all the same time, like everything's
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: thought through, even if it seems really organic. No.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: I think that that's the case with a lot of
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: people that are in your field of work.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we can ask Hannah a little bit more
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: about this if she's willing to share when she does
• 24:38
