SPEAKER_02: We've been talking about this for months and months and months.
1:30
SPEAKER_02: Like the show was and is the highlight of the weekend, but also like I got proposed to like in New York City, so that's also like a major thing as well.
1:39
SPEAKER_02: So we'll get to that when we get there, but um yeah, like okay, so we're gonna should we start with weather?

1:54
SPEAKER_01: There is indeed.
1:56

2:03
SPEAKER_01: It feels absolutely perfect.
2:05
SPEAKER_01: It feels perfect.
2:06
SPEAKER_00: This has been like the best uh day for weather since you guys have been in town, I would say.
2:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's like so easy to be outside, just like refreshing and perfect.
2:15
SPEAKER_00: I'm excited.
2:16
SPEAKER_01: It feels so perfect.
2:17
SPEAKER_01: The weather has been amazing.
2:19
SPEAKER_01: We got actually a rainy day as well while we were here.
2:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we got a downpour the morning of the Ariana show.
2:27
SPEAKER_02: Yes, it was like insane.
2:29
SPEAKER_02: Like it said flood warning.
2:30
SPEAKER_02: We were like, oh, snap.
2:32
SPEAKER_02: And for a second, like I was getting nervous about like the logistics of getting to the show, but it was actually the perfect like situation.
2:39
SPEAKER_02: Like it was super cozy in the morning, and then leading up to the show, the sun was coming out.
2:42
SPEAKER_01: It stopped around 3 p.m.
2:44
SPEAKER_01: The streets were really flooded though, and we were like, oh, that's just like typical for New York, though.
2:49
SPEAKER_00: Like the infrastructure here is not it's not built to be.
2:57
SPEAKER_00: I was in my house elevating before the concert, and we'll have to get into that later too.
3:02
SPEAKER_02: We will get into that as well.
3:03
SPEAKER_02: We're gonna go in chronological order of the weekend after we get into like the lure of Danny and how because Danny knew Lacey first, and then obviously I was brought into the mix um as an adopted.
3:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like actually as I it was out, it was always supposed to be written that way.
3:17
SPEAKER_02: But before we do that, uh I want to compare the Oklahoma weather to New York weather because this shit is crazy.
3:23
SPEAKER_02: So Oklahoma City right now is 93 there, and the high tomorrow on Tuesday is 103 degrees.
3:33
SPEAKER_02: Cursed.
3:33
SPEAKER_02: And like later in the week, 100, 103, 104.
3:36
SPEAKER_02: No, no, no.
3:37
SPEAKER_02: I reject, and I am disgusted.
3:39
SPEAKER_02: We have to go back to that.
3:41
SPEAKER_02: But you know, it is what it is.
3:43
SPEAKER_02: The grass is always greener, I guess.
3:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm excited for you to be home though and see everyone and like celebrate.
3:48
SPEAKER_00: I know.
3:49
SPEAKER_01: Well, you have an engagement tour, like you have an engagement press tour still.
3:52
SPEAKER_00: Yes, like the channel sunshine tour onto the engagement tour, honey.
3:56
SPEAKER_02: No, exactly, like always on tour, never home.
3:58
SPEAKER_00: Like I'm on the road.
3:59
SPEAKER_00: Next bus, next club, plane.
4:00
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, plane, another club, another club.
4:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, um, but yeah, like we'll uh do the full recap once I'm home.
4:07
SPEAKER_02: It just makes more sense to do the full like engagement story.
4:09
SPEAKER_02: Maybe we can have Tyler pop into the studio and he can he can give his piece of it too.
4:13
SPEAKER_02: So that'll be later on.
4:15
SPEAKER_02: But um, for the girls that don't know, you guys need to get into how you met and the lore between you two.
4:23
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yes.
4:23
SPEAKER_02: You want to get into it?
4:25
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we'll make it like there's like mirror you.
4:28
SPEAKER_01: Right, like mirror, mirror.
4:31
SPEAKER_00: But that's the audience.
4:35
SPEAKER_01: We met in 2017.
4:38
SPEAKER_00: 2017.
4:38
SPEAKER_01: 2017, we were both working at a little establishment called BBW.
4:43
SPEAKER_03: Yum.
4:44
SPEAKER_01: Bath Body World.
4:47
SPEAKER_01: Um, the blue gingham capital.
4:50
SPEAKER_01: Um the world, low key.
4:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, apron baddies.
4:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, sister companies to Victoria's Secretary.
4:58
SPEAKER_01: Snatching the apron.
4:59
SPEAKER_01: Snatching the apron.
5:00
SPEAKER_00: Honey, that was me in that back room every day with my ice marijuana.
5:02
SPEAKER_00: I did not play.
5:03
SPEAKER_00: I was like, I was ready to sell the fuck out of the candle, bitch.
5:06
SPEAKER_00: Like literally, yeah.
5:08
SPEAKER_00: But we're some body cream.
5:11
SPEAKER_00: Um for some wallflowers.
5:13
SPEAKER_01: Well, Danny was like, wait, what was it called?
5:15
SPEAKER_01: Top seller.
5:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
5:17
SPEAKER_00: Or what is it?
5:17
SPEAKER_00: There was a position um called top seller, which is basically like a guaranteed hours a week, and you had to maintain like a certain like sales per hour, and there was only like four that the volume of our store could have.
5:32
SPEAKER_00: So it was like me and then this like middle-aged Mormon lady, and then this other older white lady, and like they were like hella ruthless with me.
5:38
SPEAKER_00: Like, if they saw I built a basket, they would go out of the wallflower, ring them up, and steal my sale.
5:42
SPEAKER_00: It was very, very, very cutthroat culture.
5:46
SPEAKER_02: Um, did you guys have like um like printed out like sales things in the back?
5:51
SPEAKER_02: So you would have to refer to them every day.
5:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and then also we walked around wearing walkie, so like if I didn't know the hockey system was feared.
5:59
SPEAKER_02: They really do not play at Candle Factory.
6:01
SPEAKER_01: No, I fear they I wonder if it's still as strict, but at least the the Temecula the Temecula California location we watched the name.
6:10
SPEAKER_01: No yuppie.
6:14
SPEAKER_01: Definitely.
6:15
SPEAKER_00: We'll have to ask much about fogwork.
6:18
SPEAKER_01: But I'm like, but relax.
6:24
SPEAKER_01: But all that goes to say why I brought up the top seller of it all is because I was very like intimidated and scared.
6:31
SPEAKER_01: I was like, oh, like I no, but you were like literally giving people like the notes of the Bath and Body Works fragrances.
6:37
SPEAKER_01: Like he was not playing.
6:38
SPEAKER_01: He was like, so the undertones and like the notes of this are like da-da-da-da-da.
6:41
SPEAKER_00: Like, well, yes, I'm all about like beauty education.
6:45
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, I don't know.
6:46
SPEAKER_00: I just love like I mean, obviously it's not that deep because it's like Bath Body Works.
6:50
SPEAKER_00: It was, but like I feel like for me at the time, and like obviously being like the workhorse that I am, I do take every job I have like serious to some extent.
6:58
SPEAKER_00: And I think it's just good to like connect with people and like um be a little bit like less transactional and like figure out like what people want, and then like are able to like, I don't know, like help like build memories and like good connections.
7:11
SPEAKER_02: But I think that that's like literally like a telltale sign of how you have lived your whole entire life.
7:15
SPEAKER_02: Like it's it's not, it's never um just something that's like out of like you you are intentional about the work that you do with the other.
7:24
SPEAKER_00: I'm intentional about everything.
7:26
SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes, like from the moment I wake up and get ready for the day, I'm like intentional with like a blush combo because I'm like, I'm wearing this outfit.
7:34
SPEAKER_00: What's my mood?
7:35
SPEAKER_00: What song am I gonna listen to when I get on the train because that's gonna set the tone for my day?
7:39
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
7:39
SPEAKER_00: And obviously the company I keep because I'm with the two very best girls in the whole world.
7:43
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, you're so cute.
7:45
SPEAKER_02: So when you guys met up at them body works, like did you meet?
7:48
SPEAKER_02: Do you remember the moment you met?
7:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, I remember the first time that we got there before you worked there.
7:55
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, yeah, he was already there.
7:56
SPEAKER_00: I was working at a San Diego location and I moved to Temecula for like a year and a half, and then we met at a store in Temecula.
8:02
SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah, and yeah, I was just like, and you were like selling, selling stuff, and I was like, and then one time we were closing together, and that's when we started talking about like music, Ariana.
8:17
SPEAKER_01: And and the rest was history, like I was like, you want to come over?
8:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, as soon as we started like talking about Ariana, then it was a shutdown, and then and you're both Libras, that's an important thing to do.
8:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so we were like Libras.
8:29
SPEAKER_00: I was like this kindred spirits.
8:30
SPEAKER_00: I was like, who's this very beautiful, sweet girl?
8:33
SPEAKER_00: Like, I just needed her in my life, right?
8:36
SPEAKER_00: And she's still here.
8:37
SPEAKER_02: And then once you guys, so you guys had a little squad within the Bath Body Works family, but then who moved out of Temecula first?
8:42
SPEAKER_02: Was it you, that mumi?
8:44
SPEAKER_00: I think it was Lacey, and then I moved to San Diego.
8:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you moved to San Diego, and then I moved back to San Diego not long before the cross country track.
8:53
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, I know we did have a little bit of crossover time in San Diego, it was not long enough, it was very brief.
8:59
SPEAKER_00: It was brief, but every time we like got to get together was always like the best.
9:04
SPEAKER_01: And we would just go to the beach, beach, Thai food in North Park.
9:07
SPEAKER_01: Thai food, we can't forget grandma's house, oh grandma's house.
9:11
SPEAKER_01: Yes, and that's another piece to the puzzle.
9:13
SPEAKER_01: Like when I when we started working together, I was living with my grandma in that area, and so my house was my grandma's house, and so Danny.
9:21
SPEAKER_01: Your mics look at all, be careful.
9:23
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you guys, our mics are like a little slippery.
9:25
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we're just making it work.
9:26
SPEAKER_02: This is our travel set, so yeah, these are our little World Be Kind to us.
9:31
SPEAKER_02: It's our first time living too.
9:32
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's their it's their first time living.
9:34
SPEAKER_02: It's our first time living.
9:35
SPEAKER_01: Um they all need little names because this looks like a character.
9:38
SPEAKER_01: This looks like Kevin.
9:40
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
9:41
SPEAKER_00: Mine is Ribbon.
9:44
SPEAKER_01: Kevin and Ribbon.
9:46
SPEAKER_02: What the hell?
9:46
SPEAKER_02: Okay, then let me change my name.
9:48
SPEAKER_02: Her name is Sasha.
9:50
SPEAKER_01: Okay, her name is Summer.
9:52
SPEAKER_01: Oh, Sasha's ribbon and summer.
9:55
SPEAKER_00: There you have it.
9:56
SPEAKER_01: Um anyway, but yeah, and then we would always we would have sleepovers on my grandma's and like make blended margaritas and pina coladas.
10:07
SPEAKER_01: I mean, hello, not margaritas, that's wrong.
10:09
SPEAKER_01: Pina coladasy that was wrong.
10:12
SPEAKER_00: No, grandma loved the seaside, so she would take us to the resort.
10:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we would get tropical, we would get very tropical.
10:18
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, that's our vacation in Menife.
10:23
SPEAKER_02: Flute out to Minifee.
10:25
SPEAKER_02: Like flute out to Minifee.
10:26
SPEAKER_02: I remember when Lacey was living in California and was like, oh my god, I met this person who's the best thing I've ever had.
10:34
SPEAKER_01: And I would always tell them about each other constantly.
10:38
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
10:38
SPEAKER_02: And it was always giving like, oh, that's my brother, but like I just don't know him yet.
10:42
SPEAKER_02: Like, but I will.
10:43
SPEAKER_00: Literally, I was like, I felt like I was looking at like adoption papers, and I was like, This is gonna be my new sibling.
10:49
SPEAKER_00: When do they arrive?
10:50
SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm waiting page from like I'm so excited to meet her.
10:53
SPEAKER_00: No, exactly.
10:54
SPEAKER_02: And eventually the day came, but I don't even like I feel like this um the moment we met was just so like it was so natural that it's like nothing that was like all like I don't even remember.
11:04
SPEAKER_02: Do you remember the first day that was?
11:05
SPEAKER_02: Was it when you and Peyton visited?
11:07
SPEAKER_00: I feel like it was definitely when you and your sister were there not long after Bragg had left because I think you guys had like overlapping trips.
11:14
SPEAKER_00: I also got to meet Bragg.
11:15
SPEAKER_00: Hi, Brack.
11:16
SPEAKER_00: Hi Bragg and Caseers, yeah, and Casey, and then yeah, it was you and Peyton visiting, and I got to meet you briefly, and yeah, and then the rest is history.
11:24
SPEAKER_02: And we always kept up like via socials and texts and you know long distance.
11:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and like visiting like the girls visiting me in New York a few years ago, watched me perform in a couple of my gigs at the time, and then I just recently went to OKC earlier this year.
11:40
SPEAKER_01: Yes, but yeah, you lived in San Diego and then moved shortly after to or not back to San Diego, you guys.
11:48
SPEAKER_01: Not to, but back to for a short time and then moved to Buffalo, New York.
11:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I did live in Buffalo for a bit.
11:55
SPEAKER_00: Insane, literally crazy behavior.
11:58
SPEAKER_00: Um, I was in like a relationship at the time and they lived in Toronto, so I was just trying to catch a vibe about like whether they would feel like closer to them.
12:06
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
12:06
SPEAKER_00: Because I'm a huge believer in love, as a Libra should be.
12:09
SPEAKER_00: And I think it's important to like, I don't know, take the necessary steps.
12:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
12:14
SPEAKER_00: I totally agree.
12:15
SPEAKER_00: Um, ultimately, I decided that that wasn't my path.
12:18
SPEAKER_00: Not your journey.
12:18
SPEAKER_00: I moved to Brooklyn because I've always wanted to live in New York.
12:21
SPEAKER_02: But I think it's also important to note that yes, it was like to figure out what was going on romantically in that adventure, but also like you've wanted to live on live on the East Coast like for forever.
12:32
SPEAKER_00: East Coast for sure.
12:33
SPEAKER_00: Like it was a stepping stone.
12:34
SPEAKER_00: It was a huge stepping stone towards getting to where I wanted to be, which ultimately, like non-negotiable.
12:38
SPEAKER_00: I was like, I have to live in New York City at some point in my life.
12:42
SPEAKER_00: I just hit four years, June 1st, this year, actually.
12:45
SPEAKER_02: Insane.
12:46
SPEAKER_02: Can you believe like time goes so fast?
12:48
SPEAKER_02: Like it looks like you literally just moved out here.
12:50
SPEAKER_00: It feels like I've barely been here, but it also feels like like I've lived so many lives already, and like I've like grown so much as a person, and it's like just like continuous seasons are passing in the best way though.
13:02
SPEAKER_02: And when you first moved out here, you were like finding your bearings, like finding community, all of the things, and then you started doing drag.
13:10
SPEAKER_02: Then you were because you hadn't done drag before.
13:12
SPEAKER_02: You weren't like you weren't giving it in Buffalo, were you?
13:14
SPEAKER_00: No, I was not giving it.
13:15
SPEAKER_00: I I considered it, and then I saw what the girls look like there, and I was like, these will not be my peers.
13:20
SPEAKER_00: I am not like the way I saw it, it was like you're either gonna be performing alongside a bunch of chops and automatically look like a star.
13:29
SPEAKER_00: But I think that it takes like doing something like that in New York amongst the best of the best to realize that you have to like level up fiercely and quickly.
13:37
SPEAKER_02: Little fish, big pond versus big pond, little fish.
13:39
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
13:40
SPEAKER_00: And I am right, is that the same?
13:42
SPEAKER_00: I'm a baby fish in a big pond, and I'm gonna grow up to be a big fish in a big pond.
13:45
SPEAKER_00: No, baby.
13:45
SPEAKER_02: Well, you already a big fish in a big pond, baby.
13:48
SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
13:48
SPEAKER_02: You really are.
13:49
SPEAKER_02: But okay, so Malibu, you need to talk about the final girl Malibu.
13:52
SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, so I moved to New York in June, and I already like upon my plan to move here, I was like, I'm gonna move here.
13:58
SPEAKER_00: I wanna do drag.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: The reason why is I have such a huge respect for Brooklyn nightlife specifically.
14:03
SPEAKER_00: It's just super duper diverse, and like the most talented people that I have ever seen, like on social media, even back living in California.
14:11
SPEAKER_00: I was like, whoa, this bitch is like fierce.
14:13
SPEAKER_00: Like, there's this queen, Serena T.
14:15
SPEAKER_00: If you don't know her, you have to get into her.
14:17
SPEAKER_00: She performed as a transformer and she did Room Vroom by Charlie at this festival called Bushwig, which is a play on words with Wigstock and Bushwig, which is the town I live in.
14:27
SPEAKER_01: You performed at Bushwig.
14:28
SPEAKER_01: I did.
14:29
SPEAKER_00: I did do Bushwig, yeah.
14:30
SPEAKER_02: So Shutdown, shut down.
14:33
SPEAKER_00: So I so a little bit of like context.
14:36
SPEAKER_00: I love horror movies specifically, the genre of like slasher films, and there's a really prominent trope in these films that is like known as the final girl, which is like the last girl to survive in a horror film.
14:47
SPEAKER_00: Right.
14:47
SPEAKER_00: She's like girl next door, but still like very like resilient.
14:51
SPEAKER_00: And if you guys don't know me, I would like to think I'm a very resilient person.
14:56
SPEAKER_00: Overcome like a like a plethora of like difficult situations and circumstances, but like always coming out of it like wiser, stronger, and like more gracious, and I had like experience in those situations.
15:09
SPEAKER_00: So I felt it was like just like I wanted to extend that like lived experience into my drag persona.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: And so her name's Malibu with two O's, uh a little spooky on them.
15:20
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, so I just wanted to like draw inspiration from like powerful women in general that existed within this trope, but also like I grew up loving like Buffy and Rose McGowan and charmed and just all of these like um superstars of the late 90s and early 2000s who starred in these like darker films, like were huge inspiration for my drag.
15:38
SPEAKER_02: Oh, and when we were here last time, which was 2023, yeah, three years ago.
15:43
SPEAKER_02: We literally touched down in New York, went to Danny's apartment, fully like literally my brows were like shaved at the time.
15:51
SPEAKER_00: So, like they walked in.
15:52
SPEAKER_00: I had LA girls color corrector all over.
15:54
SPEAKER_00: I was like, hey guys, welcome, sit down.
15:56
SPEAKER_00: I'm in a wig cap, but like you want water, like what's going on?
15:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we're like unpacking, settling in, like fully ready to go to a gig like hours later.
16:02
SPEAKER_02: It was it's just we've been talking about this this whole week and like how time progresses and how much so much has changed for you over the years.
16:09
SPEAKER_02: So you took you've taken a step back from the nightlife.
16:12
SPEAKER_02: Yes, I Malibu is always in forever.
16:15
SPEAKER_00: Yes, and I'm hiatus, if you will.
16:17
SPEAKER_00: It's it's like definitely more of a hiatus because it's not a like if, but it's just more of like a when situation because I don't think it'll exist in like the nightlife realm like in a regular basis, like it was.
16:28
SPEAKER_00: But I definitely am intrigued to like navigate like content creation and bringing that artistry and persona to something that feels a little bit more like sustainable for me, which is like outside of that like environment and more like in my home and more like creative, and I would love to do like photo shoots and stuff like that.
16:46
SPEAKER_00: Things that are like more leaning towards like visual art, which is the whole point of like what drew me to drag to begin with.
16:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
16:52
SPEAKER_02: Just creating that world, like which I love, like it's like life should be like a portfolio, like where it's like I have all these lived experiences, all these expressions of myself in different forms that like paint the bigger picture of like this is the this is the um the full like what's it called at an art museum when it's like an e an exhibit, like this is my the exhibit of my life.
17:14
SPEAKER_00: It's truly like just like everything being like showcased in like a linear, like streamlined way, and that's just how my brain works in general.
17:23
SPEAKER_00: When I like even when I communicate, sometimes I am very wordy because I think I'm getting all my points across, and I just love when things are like systematic and easy to digest.
17:31
SPEAKER_00: Yes, yeah.
17:32
SPEAKER_00: Um and yeah, I think that that's what's next for me.
17:35
SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
17:36
SPEAKER_00: Um, in taking a step away from nightlife, I got back into working in beauty professionally, which has been really good for me.
17:44
SPEAKER_00: We won't get into no no the specifics, however.
17:47
SPEAKER_00: However, world in beauty, but like you can only imagine what it's like you can only imagine like it's actually quite think about it, sit on it.
17:57
SPEAKER_02: Think about it.
17:57
SPEAKER_02: Oh, also let me take this time right now.
17:59
SPEAKER_02: If you are listening on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, we have the visual version on YouTube, and I think you guys are gonna want to see this for yourselves because yeah, you certainly are.
18:08
SPEAKER_02: We look major and we're in our Ariana merch.
18:10
SPEAKER_02: So go on over to YouTube, go to Rainy Day Pod channel, and watch us because well, we look adorable, so yeah.
18:17
SPEAKER_02: But yes, like the hair is so fab.
18:19
SPEAKER_02: Like everywhere we go, everywhere we go, everywhere stopping Danny and distracts.
18:25
SPEAKER_02: You're you have the most beautiful hair I've ever seen.
18:28
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, you're gorgeous! Like it's really teeny, it's really crazy, honestly.
18:34
SPEAKER_00: And like, yeah, every day for you though, every day, several times a day, like on my best and worst day, and it's like almost like a bummer if I like have a train ride and no one combing my hair.
18:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, damn, like I'm like, I gotta check on there.
18:46
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, what the fuck?
18:47
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, oh, it's because my shit frizzed up a little.
18:49
SPEAKER_00: Like, fuck, like, I should have brought my round brush to work.
18:52
SPEAKER_02: No, like this is what I'm saying, though.
18:54
SPEAKER_02: Like, you have to start making TikToks because the girls need to know the routine.
18:57
SPEAKER_02: No, for sure.
18:58
SPEAKER_00: It's a little bit of like honesty, like when people approach me and they're like, tell me what you do, and I'm just like, Well, we all have to be real with ourselves, like, we gotta work with what we're given.
19:07
SPEAKER_00: It's like, it's truly like it's genetics.
19:09
SPEAKER_00: I'm half Mexican and half Portuguese, so my parents, though they flopped in their own ways, but they gave me super duper severe genetics, and I'm eternally grateful for that.
19:20
SPEAKER_00: Because every day, like, I don't know, I just grew like so confident living in New York that I literally like, yeah.
19:25
SPEAKER_00: I can't like help but like look in a mirror and be like, that's really what I look like.
19:28
SPEAKER_00: That's that's actually like amazing.
19:30
SPEAKER_02: It's that half Hispanic, half white tea.
19:32
SPEAKER_00: It's right, exactly.
19:33
SPEAKER_00: And you get that my sister.
19:34
SPEAKER_00: Yes, and Gabriette does too.
19:35
SPEAKER_00: Let's have a mug off.
19:36
SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's a tie.
19:39
SPEAKER_02: A buzzer beater, it's done.
19:41
SPEAKER_02: Um, but and Gabriette just got married this past weekend, so shout out to our sister.
19:45
SPEAKER_00: Speaking of our mixed Latina baddie, she looks so beautiful, yeah.
19:48
SPEAKER_00: Like major.
19:49
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
19:50
SPEAKER_02: Well, what's your favorite part about living in New York?
19:53
SPEAKER_02: Um like if you had to list one thing, what's your favorite part?
19:56
SPEAKER_00: I love how walkable it is, honestly.
19:58
SPEAKER_00: I think that that's something that really put things into perspective.
20:02
SPEAKER_00: I know we'll get into this later, but I I mean, I kind of have like a love-hate relationship with driving.
20:10
SPEAKER_00: At least you can attest like me behind the wheels the situation.
20:14
SPEAKER_01: It's a situation whenever you drive in my life.
20:16
SPEAKER_01: So put it to put it gently, it's a situation.
20:18
SPEAKER_00: It's a situation.
20:20
SPEAKER_00: I was blasting Slater all the time, circa 2018-2019, and like driving real fast, real furious.
20:27
SPEAKER_02: I can only assume.
20:28
SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah, get in the driver's seat and put that shit into speed race.
20:31
SPEAKER_01: Right, right, right, right, right.
20:33
SPEAKER_01: Um, the car was sold many years ago.
20:35
SPEAKER_00: Literally, moved to New York, never looked back.
20:37
SPEAKER_00: But on the topic of walkability, I just feel like it's such a great reminder of like physical health and wellness and capability, and just like things that like I otherwise took for granted.
20:47
SPEAKER_00: And that just like is something that I always am so grateful for.
20:50
SPEAKER_00: Is just like I am like, I don't know, just like able-bodied and like able to like get to where I need to go.
20:56
SPEAKER_00: And like, I don't know, I love because New York is really overstimulating as it is.
21:00
SPEAKER_00: Like, there's so much happening around you all the time that like the walk to your train or like to wherever you need to be with headphones can be decompressed, it's the decompressed walking is so like regulates your nervous system in such a fierce way.
21:13
SPEAKER_00: Literally, which I need a lot of, a lot of, a lot of.
21:17
SPEAKER_00: Like, I'll be listening to Get Well soon by Ariana.
21:19
SPEAKER_00: I'll be like, that didn't work.
21:19
SPEAKER_00: I gotta like walk back to my apartment, try to get to the train again.
21:22
SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
21:22
SPEAKER_02: Like, let me start this over.
21:23
SPEAKER_00: Let me go.
21:24
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, wait, I must have taken a misstep.
21:26
SPEAKER_02: Like that wasn't that so what is that the same as like your least favorite part of New York City, like it being overstimulating, or do you have a least favorite part?
21:35
SPEAKER_00: Um, I think it just is like a okay, so it's a symptom of living in New York, but I also think it's just a sma like a sign of the times of like the way people are able to connect, or their like lack of their ability to connect, rather.
21:48
SPEAKER_00: And that's been something I've seen in New York.
21:49
SPEAKER_00: Like, I think it's so hustle and bustle, and like people lack the intentionality with who they want in their lives, and like they rather have like 30 friends that they're kind of like not.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: Not really investing fully into all of them, you know.
22:02
SPEAKER_00: And so, like, there's like a lack of like fruitful relationships, and I mean, I have found like a good like network of people that I'm really grateful to have in my life.
22:11
SPEAKER_02: You have such good friends out here.
22:12
SPEAKER_02: We just went to dinner last night with literally like your sisters for real, and it was amazing.
22:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, one of my best friends, Raul.
22:19
SPEAKER_00: Hi, Raul.
22:20
SPEAKER_02: Hi, Raul, we love you, Raul.
22:22
SPEAKER_00: Um, he moved to New York to help open a restaurant because he's a really talented chef, and we met in college 10 years ago, and we're still really good friends.
22:30
SPEAKER_02: So I'm so glad you have him out here.
22:31
SPEAKER_02: Like seriously.
22:32
SPEAKER_00: It's just a testament of like if people want to love you and be in your lives, like regardless of distance, they're gonna like maintain those connections.
22:39
SPEAKER_00: It's like Lacey and I haven't always lived together, and obviously you and I haven't been in the same city at the same time, like in like a living scenario.
22:46
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, no, it's like if you meet someone and you like f them and you love them, you need to like nurture the hell out of that relationship.
22:52
SPEAKER_00: And so that goes back to my least favorite part of New York is like, yeah, people people lack that intentionality, they lack the intentionality and like the focus that it takes to like follow through with the relationship.
23:04
SPEAKER_00: Ultimately, it's nothing personal, and that's just like what I've learned with like I don't know, like developing more emotional maturity living here is like friends to different person like aspects of your life.
23:15
SPEAKER_00: Like, like you have like your nightlife friends, and when I was doing drug, I had to learn the hard way.
23:19
SPEAKER_00: Like, these people are not going to like see me before 4 p.m.
23:22
SPEAKER_00: on any given day.
23:23
SPEAKER_00: Like, these are people I strictly am like going to get drinks with or whatever, and like that's something that I had to like learn and like decide, and then that that's really when I was like, what matters to me moving forward in this new era?
23:35
SPEAKER_00: I recently had my saving return.
23:37
SPEAKER_00: I think I'm low key still in it.
23:38
SPEAKER_02: I mean, it feels that way, but like well, also Mercury and retrograde touch it too.
23:43
SPEAKER_00: It's all bad, like, but you know what?
23:45
SPEAKER_00: We'll we'll get into it again.
23:46
SPEAKER_00: We keep we keep like, no, we should get into it now.
23:49
SPEAKER_02: Let's get into it now.
23:50
SPEAKER_01: Wait, but back to Roe, real quick.
23:52
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
23:52
SPEAKER_01: So we just got to go to his like soft opening of his restaurant.
23:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we had a wonderful little experience.
23:58
SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh, it was so good.
24:00
SPEAKER_00: When you items, all the bar bites were just like super duper elevated, super yummy.
24:07
SPEAKER_00: Yes, super duper like intentionally made, of course.
24:11
SPEAKER_00: And the drinks were even better.
24:12
SPEAKER_00: Like, I forgot exactly the name of the drink I got, but it was like mezcal and like cinnamon and grapefruit, and those are all my favorite things.
24:20
SPEAKER_00: I literally have cinnamon stick tattoos on my leg.
24:22
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't I don't play about cinnamon.
24:24
SPEAKER_02: Do we want to shout out the place?
24:25
SPEAKER_00: Yes, it's called Tins in the Lower East Side.
24:28
SPEAKER_00: The address is 109 Ludlow Street.
24:30
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
24:31
SPEAKER_00: So if you're wanting like a really, really fierce, strong cocktail to start your night, and some good bites, like the bites were so young.
24:39
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh, guys, like unreal.
24:40
SPEAKER_02: And we've talked about how Tyler, my now fiance, is a chef.
24:44
SPEAKER_02: And so he was like living his life because like he was trying all these different dishes, they were all amazing.
24:49
SPEAKER_02: And Justin Raul's like sous chef, like uh co-sous chef, um, was there cooking for all of us, like leading us out, like plates on plates on plates, dish.
25:02
SPEAKER_02: And yeah, it was really major, and they were so gracious with us, so it was like it was just the best night ever, and getting to connect with Raul, who's like a sister of my sister, like you know, like it was very like it was a very beautiful experience just to see like so many people I care about, like all meet up.
25:16
SPEAKER_00: It's giving like like when the iCarly cast came on to an episode of the Victoria's like a crossover moment for sweet life of Panamontana vibe, exactly.
25:24
SPEAKER_00: And like obviously, after one drink settles, you get like at least for me, I get like really sentimental, right?
25:30
SPEAKER_01: We were literally having like conversation after conversation, like deep no, like deep, serious conversation after conversation.
25:35
SPEAKER_01: It was awesome.
25:36
SPEAKER_02: Whole weekend has been so synchronous, synchronous?
25:39
SPEAKER_02: Is that the word synchronized?
25:42
SPEAKER_02: I would say serendipitous, there are like little things that keep happening, like that are so affirming, like every single day there's just something that's like, what do you mean like this is happening?
25:52
SPEAKER_02: Like, for example, just today we walk into a coffee shop and they're playing Shania Twain on vinyl, the CD that my mom would play every single day in her Honda Civic growing up, and then our Uber was a Honda Civic.
26:04
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, oh okay, but there are like little signs everywhere.
26:06
SPEAKER_02: No, it's been a lot of people.
26:08
SPEAKER_00: Just like signs of confirmation that like nothing is not meant to be this way, yeah.
26:15
SPEAKER_02: Like we are exactly where we're meant to be.
26:17
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
26:18
SPEAKER_02: Right.
26:18
SPEAKER_00: It's just like I don't know, like predestined type shit.
26:21
SPEAKER_02: Like first night, uh I'm gonna get too into it, but the first night, like we went to this bar and we're sitting in this like little booth that it was like the only place to sit in the place, and um the guy sitting there went to the same high school as you in San Diego.
26:38
SPEAKER_00: Yes, like we didn't have like years overlap, but he's like, Yeah, I'm from like New Orleans, and then I moved to San Diego, and I lived in Santa and went to West Hills High School.
26:46
SPEAKER_00: Mind you, I haven't heard those words spoken out loud.
26:49
SPEAKER_03: You were gas.
26:50
SPEAKER_00: I literally like turned around like whipped when I had the right.
26:54
SPEAKER_00: What?
26:54
SPEAKER_00: Why?
26:54
SPEAKER_00: It was crazy because like it's just like what are the chances of that of like sitting in like a little nook in this bar in Williamsburg with your girls who are visiting just to get like a quick drink after dinner, and then and then and then we just had like so much overlap because he had just taken his boyfriend to go see the eternal sunshine tour, and he was actually wearing this shirt.
27:12
SPEAKER_01: That's what prompted it.
27:13
SPEAKER_00: That prompted the whole conversation, and yeah, and we just had like a lot of things in common with like professional and like creative interests, and yeah, so from that moment on, that they're endless, like next.
27:25
SPEAKER_00: Should we talk about Apple Store or like the Zan?
27:27
SPEAKER_02: No, you low-key should because we got to meet Danny's partner, Derek, and they're so perfect.
27:32
SPEAKER_02: Like, oh my gosh, my tourist sibling, like, literally, that is my tourist like confidant.
27:36
SPEAKER_00: Like, like, if I can't find Gabby and Derek, I'm gonna go to the couch and yeah, literally, like I'm gonna be like, Oh, they're my cozy, my cozy.
27:44
SPEAKER_02: So we um we finally got to meet them and we had dinner plans the first night we were here.
27:49
SPEAKER_02: We got here on a Thursday, so we were like so excited, we get settled into our Airbnb.
27:54
SPEAKER_02: We're like, yay, cannot wait for dinner.
27:56
SPEAKER_02: We noticed we're like, we haven't heard from Danny like at all today.
27:59
SPEAKER_02: Like, hmm, maybe he's just like, you know, trying to like get out of work and hurry like texting, like, on the way, like we'll be there, and we're like, No, I was in Midtown literally all day.
28:08
SPEAKER_01: I was like tracking Danny and it's like Manhattan, like New York State.
28:12
SPEAKER_00: I was like, wait, yeah, we're like, wait, what our dinner's in Brooklyn, why are you in Manhattan?
28:15
SPEAKER_02: Like, what's going on?
28:16
SPEAKER_00: We were like, where are you, babe?
28:17
SPEAKER_00: Like, reservations were two minutes ago.
28:19
SPEAKER_00: Um, but no, I was working that day and I had plans to upgrade my phone like a long time before.
28:24
SPEAKER_00: Or Eternal Censoring to a Zoom.
28:26
SPEAKER_00: Literally, I was like, I need the 17 Pro to be able to film Ariana, like, I don't care.
28:31
SPEAKER_00: So it was very dire.
28:32
SPEAKER_00: So I went to the Apple store on Fifth Avenue.
28:34
SPEAKER_00: If you are ever remotely in a time crunch, I wouldn't recommend doing that.
28:37
SPEAKER_02: Never actually go, even if you're not on a time crunch because you had all day.
28:40
SPEAKER_00: If you're buying headphones, go to a deli and get the bootleg ones.
28:43
SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm so like, it's just like they'll break in a week, but your sanity will be.
28:48
SPEAKER_02: No, it'd probably be quicker to book a flight and get the free ones I have on the flight than go to that damn Apple store.
28:52
SPEAKER_02: Literally, like less than a flight to Tokyo and back, and then you'll probably have enough time still.
28:57
SPEAKER_00: What should have been like maybe an hour process was like maybe like three and a half spread across not one, two, but three visits throughout the night.
29:07
SPEAKER_02: So Malin, ow, you were in you were in Manhattan at the Apple store, and then Okay, wait, let's get back to the dinner.
29:13
SPEAKER_02: Okay, so my bad.
29:14
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, we're like leading up to the dinner.
29:16
SPEAKER_02: We haven't heard from Danny.
29:17
SPEAKER_02: We're so confused, we're like, where the hell is he?
29:19
SPEAKER_02: But we weren't really that concerned.
29:20
SPEAKER_02: We were just like, you know what?
29:21
SPEAKER_02: We'll see.
29:22
SPEAKER_00: Like, he'll get here when he gets here.
29:23
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
29:23
SPEAKER_01: Like, I was confused, but then I was just like, oh.
29:25
SPEAKER_00: We weren't even overthinking out there.
29:26
SPEAKER_01: I was like, maybe your location isn't updating.
29:28
SPEAKER_00: Derek had let you guys know that.
29:30
SPEAKER_01: We both get a DM from Derek that's like, oh, Danny's having phone issues, and we thought like your phone like died or something.
29:37
SPEAKER_01: Like we were with the right.
29:39
SPEAKER_01: Right, we thought you were with Derek, and then we pull up and it's just Derek like waiting outside.
29:44
SPEAKER_00: And we're like, fuck, it minds you, like, love you, Derek.
29:48
SPEAKER_00: But um, they were meeting my friends for the first time ever.
29:52
SPEAKER_00: Like, ever.
29:53
SPEAKER_00: So I was like, fuck, is this gonna be awkward?
29:55
SPEAKER_00: Like, is it gonna be weird?
29:56
SPEAKER_00: Like, is it that?
29:57
SPEAKER_00: And it wasn't at all.
29:58
SPEAKER_00: And I got there, and they were like already cutting it up.
30:00
SPEAKER_00: There was a pitcher of beer on the table.
30:02
SPEAKER_02: Tyler and Derek were like, Yes, like Tyler was pouring up for Derek the whole time.
30:07
SPEAKER_02: Like, it was we were having a full-on key, but we were like, where is he?
30:10
SPEAKER_02: Like, we don't know where Danny is, like, and no one's location was uploading.
30:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:17
SPEAKER_02: So tell your side of the story.
30:18
SPEAKER_02: Well, we're keeking, having drinks, cocktails, pictures, and we were like stalling the waiter.
30:22
SPEAKER_01: We were like, um, we need a few more minutes.
30:24
SPEAKER_01: We need a few more minutes.
30:25
SPEAKER_02: Had left the Apple store with no phone.
30:27
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
30:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
30:28
SPEAKER_00: So should I get into the like the breakdown of why that happened?
30:33
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
30:34
SPEAKER_00: So I went to the Apple store right after work and basically was just trying to get my like data transferred over to the new phone, like, pay for it, whatever.
30:43
SPEAKER_00: She was like, Oh, there was an issue from your like carrier or whatever.
30:48
SPEAKER_00: Like, she was like, Oh, like T-Mobile says you have to go in store to get it like resolved.
30:54
SPEAKER_00: And at this point, she had already taken off my e sim from my phone, so my phone had no service, and she couldn't figure out how to put service back on it.
31:01
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Excuse me.
31:04
SPEAKER_00: And then sh and then she's like, in like a roundabout way, was like, you have to go to the T-Mobile store on 7th Ave and get your sim put back on because I don't know how.
31:16
SPEAKER_00: The genius bar lady said, I don't know how.
31:20
SPEAKER_02: She said, So I actually don't don't know what I'm doing at all.
31:23
SPEAKER_00: Literally, she was pushing buttons, I was like, Oh, she knows exactly what's going on.
31:26
SPEAKER_00: I can't wait to be in and out of here, go home and shower, like, touch up my glam for the girls, they're gonna look so beautiful.
31:30
SPEAKER_00: I want to like match the occasion.
31:32
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, so I went to T-Mobile, got my phone fixed, and I was like, and then the girl at T-Mobile was like, This just happened to a girl a week ago, oh my gosh.
31:40
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Oh hell no.
31:43
SPEAKER_00: Like, I I I turned evil Danny, and I went back to the Apple store that was like, So this happened, you need to fix it right now.
31:48
SPEAKER_00: I'm not playing.
31:49

32:01
SPEAKER_02: No, I know that had to be so frustrating.
32:03
SPEAKER_02: Literally, so and taking a like an hour commute over to or like what was it for?
32:08
SPEAKER_00: It was 30 minutes from like 31 minutes from uh midtown to Williamsburg where we were getting dinner.
32:16
SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
32:16
SPEAKER_00: So I left my phone there, like let them do the data transfer because at this point it was time to leave for the reservations.
32:22
SPEAKER_00: But I was like, okay, I know I need to get on like this train and then transfer to this train, and I had a rough idea of where the restaurant was on Grand Street.
32:30
SPEAKER_00: But I was at Bedford and Grand, and I should have made a left and made a right, and I walked like all the way up towards the water and was like, this isn't the direction.
32:40
SPEAKER_00: I was like, I was sweaty, it was super humid.
32:43
SPEAKER_02: You didn't look sweaty when you pulled up though.
32:45
SPEAKER_02: No, not at all.

33:00
SPEAKER_02: No, but then we had the best time ever.
33:02
SPEAKER_02: It was an amazing meal, but like him showing up with no phone, like I was like, how the hell did you do that?
33:07
SPEAKER_02: Like, I can't even imagine, but that just hello, four years in the city, like you gotta know.
33:11
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
33:12
SPEAKER_00: And it also doesn't hurt to have the Apple lady pull up navigations on her phone and just like photo memorize it before you leave.
33:18
SPEAKER_02: Imagine they sent you off with printed instructions.
33:22
SPEAKER_00: No, like actually he's giving road trip in 2004.
33:24
SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes.

34:42
SPEAKER_00: It was a big wobble.
34:43
SPEAKER_00: She went, she went, she caught me.
34:45
SPEAKER_00: If she didn't catch me, I think it would have been so much worse.

SPEAKER_02: As soon as after it happened, I could tell I was like, Oh, you're hurting, like baby's hurting.
34:53
SPEAKER_00: No, I my mood and my energy immediately shifted.

38:00
SPEAKER_02: So if you guys remember, I won the ticket master war for us three for this trio.
38:06
SPEAKER_02: So actually, no, we need to talk about how you guys saw Ariana first for Sweetener Tour.
38:11
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
38:12
SPEAKER_01: So we saw we went to Sweetener World Tour in 2019.
38:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 2019.
38:18
SPEAKER_00: 2019 was her last year.
38:21
SPEAKER_02: And I was in college, like broke as a joke, like, oh, I'm sick.
38:24
SPEAKER_02: I went to the city.
38:24
SPEAKER_01: Well, and we both lived in California, so it wasn't like a whole thing.
38:28
SPEAKER_00: It was like it was like if we were all in the same city, it would have been more manageable.
38:31
SPEAKER_00: But like leaving college, booking a flight.
38:33
SPEAKER_02: Right, like I could barely afford like my gas.
38:36
SPEAKER_02: There was no way I was.
38:36
SPEAKER_00: Honey, she was like, my four local funders running it.
38:39
SPEAKER_02: No, like genuinely, like actually, because they were still legal in Oklahoma at the time.
38:43
SPEAKER_02: And still are.
38:44
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yes.
38:45
SPEAKER_00: Like the reformulated, they're like ocean.
38:47
SPEAKER_00: Oh no, like they're illegal.
38:49
SPEAKER_00: They're not illegal, but they're just like reformulated, you know, like it's like not the same output.
38:54
SPEAKER_00: The baddies.
38:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, not the the cracked out stuff.
38:58
SPEAKER_00: Oh wow, so I've never had a four loco, like ever.
39:01
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, it's like disgusting.
39:02
SPEAKER_00: I drank my first time ever, like my prom night in the beach house we got.
39:06
SPEAKER_02: Like I was very that's so California kid go to beach house for the prom beach house.
39:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, with like a whole bunch of like evil people.
39:13
SPEAKER_00: Really, yeah.
39:14
SPEAKER_01: So my god.
39:16
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, we went to Sweetener World Tour in 2019, and then from that moment forward, we were like, okay, her next tour, we're all three going together.
39:24
SPEAKER_01: Like non-negotiable.
39:24
SPEAKER_01: It's been like a pact for years, which it was always gonna come true.
39:29
SPEAKER_00: Literally, and obviously with COVID, we were like, okay, so this shit's gonna get like stalled out, and then the wicked of it all.
39:33
SPEAKER_00: Yes, and then she announced the eternal.
39:39
SPEAKER_00: We're like, it's Gomo, like we got our pre-speaking.
39:41
SPEAKER_02: We gotta do it, like we gotta do it.
39:43
SPEAKER_02: And we handled it.
39:44
SPEAKER_02: Danny and I were holding it down, like um on Ticketmaster.
39:48
SPEAKER_02: I still think that they pitied me because of my Oklahoma IP address, and well, it worked.
39:52
SPEAKER_00: It's also correct me if I'm wrong, but it's also like uh purchase history.
39:56
SPEAKER_00: So, like, as a returning customer, because like I don't really I literally don't go to concerts unless it's Ariana Grande.
40:02
SPEAKER_00: Like, I'll go to like random booth shows of like artists I could like buy a ticket of like the day of and it's like 50 bucks, but like yeah, Ariana Grande is like the only like A-list pop star that I like that you wouldn't need to go to I will fork it over and give her the coin.
40:14
SPEAKER_02: So Ticketmaster Loki was seeing like my purchase history because whenever we go to a concert, I buy them on my Ticketmaster.
40:20
SPEAKER_02: Like, even from when I was like in high school, like I have all my shows on my same Ticketmaster account.
40:25
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know what it was.
40:26
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it was just all aligned.
40:28
SPEAKER_02: The stars aligned.
40:29
SPEAKER_02: I think I think it was a little mixture of everything, but I secured three floor seat tickets to the show.
40:36
SPEAKER_00: It was crazy because they gave me my number first before you even got your number when you're still like like literally entering in, and I was like, like, I don't think it's gonna be me, but like we'll see, like we'll buy whatever seats we could get in that room.
40:47
SPEAKER_00: Like, we were just needing to be there.
40:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and then Gabby's number flashes on her screen, and it's and it was like, Oh, it's happening.
40:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like and then she saw three floor seats, just like swipe them, put them in the cart.
40:58
SPEAKER_00: We think like we saw the face value price because Ariana turned off dynamic pricing because she's that girl.
41:03
SPEAKER_00: Oh, she's a real one.
41:04
SPEAKER_00: Sailor Swift, I think.
41:05
SPEAKER_00: Does she also do it?
41:06
SPEAKER_00: Um, I think it's Charlie X did not, yeah.
41:08
SPEAKER_00: And that was crazy because I did win the pre-sale battle, but then I saw the prices.
41:12
SPEAKER_00: I was like, I'm not spending that to watch you roll around.
41:14
SPEAKER_02: No, a lot of girls, a lot of artists aren't doing it.
41:16
SPEAKER_02: So and that and it's really insane.
41:18
SPEAKER_02: No, I'm not I'm not paying that to watch you roll around.
41:20
SPEAKER_02: No, and it's been on the floor, like mom, I love you, but no.
41:22
SPEAKER_00: It's like I'll pay that to see Ariana like hit a BB5 and break free.
41:26
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
41:26
SPEAKER_02: Yes, exactly.
41:28
SPEAKER_02: Um, so yeah, we we got the tickets, no, no problem.
41:30
SPEAKER_02: And then it was the waiting game like leading up to the actual show.
41:34
SPEAKER_02: So then obviously Danny hurts his ankle the day before.
41:37
SPEAKER_02: It ain't a thing.
41:38
SPEAKER_02: Like, we're still really excited, of course.
41:40
SPEAKER_02: So we wake up that morning, mind you, Tyler and Aubrey do not have tickets to the show.
41:45
SPEAKER_02: So we're trying to be real like nonchalant about it.
41:48
SPEAKER_02: Like nonchalant.
41:49
SPEAKER_00: We're we're trying to be like, oh yeah, like the concert, I forgot.
41:52
SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:53
SPEAKER_02: Because they want to go so bad.
41:55
SPEAKER_02: Like they both wanted to go really, really bad.
41:57
SPEAKER_02: So we're like, oh wow, like I can't even believe it's tonight, but like also like not too much because we don't want to be like um rude and like yeah, you know, we just be glad we're being aware of like what the opportunity it is to like see someone who's like a generational talent and like all of our faves in some way and like shape or form.
42:14
SPEAKER_02: We're trying to walk that line.
42:15
SPEAKER_02: So even when we're getting ready, like and I I felt like what was going on with me is I was like trying to be conscious of their because they were checking Ticketmaster all day.
42:23
SPEAKER_02: So like half my mind was like, Oh my god, I'm about to see Ariana Grande.
42:26
SPEAKER_02: And I haven't seen her ever.
42:27
SPEAKER_02: That was the first time I've ever seen her live.
42:29
SPEAKER_02: Um so I was like, Oh my god, I'm about to see her, but then the other half of my brain was like, I want them to go so bad, and I want this to work out for them.
42:35
SPEAKER_01: So stressful.
42:36
SPEAKER_02: Because of like very stressful leading up to it.
42:39
SPEAKER_02: And then we uh DoorDash champagne, Danny came over to our Airbnb.
42:43
SPEAKER_02: We started getting the vibe right.
42:45
SPEAKER_02: The vibe had the vibe was shifting slowly but surely.
42:48
SPEAKER_02: Tyler's sitting here, like on Ticketmaster, Aubrey's sitting here on Ticketmaster, they're like, We're gonna get these tickets.
42:53
SPEAKER_02: Like, Aubrey got fully ready, Tyler's ready.
42:55
SPEAKER_02: We're ready to go if they purchase these tickets.
42:58
SPEAKER_00: No, like literally, I show up and Aubrey's like wrapping up her glam outfit on.
43:02
SPEAKER_00: I was like, and this is manifestation.
43:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, before the tickets were purchased, like she's making a TikTok to an Ariana Zone, like just like magic.
43:10
SPEAKER_00: And I and I love that because that's honestly how you should like live life.
43:13
SPEAKER_00: It's like a method acting or like dressing for the job you want type shit.
43:18
SPEAKER_00: She was dressing for the concert she wants to attend.
43:19
SPEAKER_01: Actually, so but it got a little scary, it got a little worrisome, it got a little rocky.
43:24
SPEAKER_01: Boom, tickets were purchased, and then we could all get excited, and we could all stand.
43:29
SPEAKER_02: And we ordered the Uber, we were taking photos, like the vibe shifted immensely, and like all at once, like everything was like, it's happening.
43:36
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, it's happening.
43:37
SPEAKER_02: So we ordered a car, we all get in the car, we go to the show, we walk in, scan our tickets.
43:42
SPEAKER_02: It's like, oh shit.
43:44
SPEAKER_02: Like, you know, when you walk into the venue and you're like, it's actually happening when you see everyone in your outfit.
43:48
SPEAKER_00: Eternal sunshine on the outfit, it doesn't feel real until you like enter the room for sure.
43:53
SPEAKER_00: Like, I mean, obviously, we hear about these people getting scammed on like Stub Hub, but like Gabby has like the official like Ticketmaster pre sale, like.
44:00
SPEAKER_00: It says artist presale on my Apple wallet.
44:03
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, bro, they're not about to work.
44:04
SPEAKER_00: They're not like there's no way.
44:05
SPEAKER_00: Like, I just like, and that's been the situation every time I've seen her.
44:08
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, there's no way I'm about to.
44:10
SPEAKER_02: Because it's just like, how is this my life?
44:12
SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah, what is the last?
44:13
SPEAKER_00: How like it I always like, yeah, I don't know.
44:16
SPEAKER_00: It's just me mindset.
44:17
SPEAKER_00: Literally, literally, but also it's just like she's like, in my mind, I think she's like the best of the best.
44:22
SPEAKER_00: And she's also such a uniquely like beautiful person that I'm like, oh I'm so blessed to like be in the room with you.
44:28
SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
44:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
44:29
SPEAKER_00: So we I know with you guys too, like of course.
44:32
SPEAKER_01: So yes, we entered the same building as Ariana, and we go find our seats.
44:38
SPEAKER_02: We're sitting on our seats, we're like, okay, well, we should probably call the gag of the seats, though, because we like get to our seats and we're like, oh my god, nope.
44:50
SPEAKER_02: Because if you've seen her performances, like obviously there's the main stage.
44:53
SPEAKER_02: We were like pretty far back on the floor.
44:55
SPEAKER_02: So it could have been rocky if we were like even just like three or four rows back.
44:58
SPEAKER_02: I feel like it would have been a different experience.
45:00
SPEAKER_00: But we were literally like we were like basic basically perpendicular to the right by the runway.
45:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
45:07
SPEAKER_01: Right by the runway where she did a lot of her show.
45:10
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
45:11
SPEAKER_02: So we were literally eight feet away.
45:14
SPEAKER_00: I would say we had like prime viewing for the supernatural like takeoff at the very dangerous woman.
45:20
SPEAKER_02: She'd perform that right next to us.
45:21
SPEAKER_00: Eternal Sunshine Hello.
45:26
SPEAKER_00: Such a beautiful like part of the show for real.
45:28
SPEAKER_02: Right.
45:29
SPEAKER_02: So we were sitting in our seats before the show started, and then we're like, you know what?
45:32
SPEAKER_02: Let's go to the bathroom one more time before we before we get into it.
45:36
SPEAKER_02: So Lacey and I go to the the ladies' room.
45:38
SPEAKER_02: Danny's over in the other one.
45:44
SPEAKER_00: The men's room.
45:46
SPEAKER_02: Um and so we separated.
45:48
SPEAKER_01: Lacey and I are standing in like, of course, there's like a long line to get to the women's arch room.
45:53
SPEAKER_01: So we're like waiting, waiting, waiting, and we hear like these cheers, and we're like, okay, who is it?
45:58
SPEAKER_01: Who is it?
45:59
SPEAKER_02: It's Joan Grande.
46:00
SPEAKER_00: It's Joan Grande right next to us.
46:02
SPEAKER_00: I was not there, unfortunately.
46:04
SPEAKER_01: With her entourage, her injured contact.
46:08
SPEAKER_02: I have met Joan.
46:10
SPEAKER_01: And okay, you guys.
46:11
SPEAKER_01: Danny's met Joan and Ricky just.
46:13
SPEAKER_02: And Ariana.
46:14
SPEAKER_01: And everyone.
46:16
SPEAKER_00: Once at Honeymoon Tour and once at the Dangerous Women Tour.
46:19
SPEAKER_00: And then they've also met Brian and Scott if you guys are like Arianna fans.
46:21
SPEAKER_00: That's really like.
46:22
SPEAKER_01: Okay, I've met Brian and Scott too.
46:24
SPEAKER_00: They're so sweet.
46:25
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
46:26

51:49
SPEAKER_00: He's like who you think of when you think of like a Hollywood celebrity stylist.
51:54
SPEAKER_00: Like the first name and face that comes to mind is La Roach.
51:56
SPEAKER_02: The fiercest ever.
51:57
SPEAKER_00: I don't think my reaction would have been that until he did that scaparelli pool for Zendaya.
52:03

55:06
SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't I don't know what I imagine it to feel like seeing her on stage.
55:09
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I sobbed my eyes out, like pretty much the whole time.
55:12
SPEAKER_02: I was like, I can't even believe this is my life.
55:14
SPEAKER_02: I'm fresh off an engagement.

55:21
SPEAKER_02: Like, it was just such a surreal moment.
55:24
SPEAKER_02: Like, all I could do was cry.
55:25
SPEAKER_02: I was so grateful, and like I felt so I felt like the luckiest person on earth.
55:28
SPEAKER_02: I keep saying I feel like I won Mr.
55:29
SPEAKER_02: Beast games or some shit.
55:31
SPEAKER_02: Like it feels like I won the lottery.
55:33
SPEAKER_01: It's so crazy when you're experiencing experiencing a concert and like seeing an artist that you've been it's been like so highly anticipated, and you just feel like you're like on a in a dream the whole time, and then it's like after the show, you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, like what just happened?
55:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but literally, my favorite obviously the concert was just all around incredible.
55:50
SPEAKER_01: My favorite moment in memory from the show is us all facing the stage, watching her perform Eternal Sunshine.
55:56
SPEAKER_01: We're all like this row or roads meet, Gabby, Danny.
55:59
SPEAKER_01: We're all like hugging, hugging each other.
56:01
SPEAKER_02: We're doing a hug train.
56:02
SPEAKER_02: Bo and seamless.
56:04
SPEAKER_00: I know Boeing is like he probably told Ariano or something.
56:08
SPEAKER_00: Like, oh like these girls did the podcast and they were with their friend and they were all having a lot of people.
56:12
SPEAKER_01: We were supposed to be in the video.
56:13
SPEAKER_02: I hope that we were in his videos, we were supposed to be in the video.
56:15
SPEAKER_01: But anyway, we were all sobbing during the Eternal Sunshine Loop.
56:19
SPEAKER_02: And I you know what song got me that I didn't expect to get me so good was Thank You Next.
56:24
SPEAKER_02: Like, Thank You Next took me out.
56:27
SPEAKER_00: Same, and I just feel like when we saw her last when she was performing that, it was like she was in such a like different like mindset that that song brought a lot of like sadness, and you could like literally see her perform that like and not be okay.
56:41
SPEAKER_00: But like seeing her like perform the same song, the same lyrics, and she looked like super duper like overwhelmed with like happiness and joy and just like confidence.
56:49
SPEAKER_02: And right, yeah, I love my girl.
56:51
SPEAKER_00: I'm like Ariana, get behind me.
56:52
SPEAKER_02: Like no, always get behind us.
56:54
SPEAKER_02: Like, this is the army, like we don't play, but it was so just so special.
56:59
SPEAKER_02: Every single part of it.
57:00
SPEAKER_02: What was your favorite live song?
57:01
SPEAKER_02: Everyone go Eternal Sunshine, Safety Nut.
57:05
SPEAKER_00: And Eternal Sunshine.
57:06
SPEAKER_02: And between Eternal Sunshine and Thank You Next, because really Thank You Next got my ass like so bad.
57:10
SPEAKER_02: Like it got my ass.
57:12
SPEAKER_02: I was sobbing.
57:12
SPEAKER_02: I don't I think because yeah, comparing it to where how she'd been, but also like the Ricky lyric change.
57:18
SPEAKER_02: There's just something so stupid, like about like growing apart from someone and then finding your way back just in different phases of life.
57:25
SPEAKER_02: And the lyric literally being we always find our way back.
57:27
SPEAKER_02: I was like, You're f kidney, like that's so precious, and I'm so happy for her.
57:30
SPEAKER_02: She just seems so happy.
57:32
SPEAKER_02: She kept going like this, like when she was on the platform at the very end to look at Friends and Family, like, because Friends and Family is like right ahead of her, and I know she was probably like looking for him, which is just so cute.
57:42
SPEAKER_02: So cute.
57:43
SPEAKER_00: And then also just like making an amendment to the lyrics also just shows like she's not like ignoring like her past and just like not performing a song, but she's like willing to like bring that into her like current like state.
57:55
SPEAKER_00: I sound so parasocial and crazy right now, but I'm like but I'm like, I don't know, it's just like cool to like observe someone like be open to like their past experiences and then like acknowledging them with their like current like found self.
58:08
SPEAKER_00: Right.
58:08
SPEAKER_00: No, it's precious.
58:09
SPEAKER_01: And her and Ricky were out at Central Park, and they were walking to lose, they were canoodling in the street.
58:16
SPEAKER_00: They were being very, very beautiful and cutesy, so cute.
58:20
