- 2:02SPEAKER_01: So I said, I mean, they were kind of talking about it.
- 2:05SPEAKER_02: They were floating the idea like of names of the podcast, yeah.
- 2:09SPEAKER_02: And okay.
- 2:12SPEAKER_02: Damn, I'm professional as possible.
- 2:13SPEAKER_02: I am I am well second guess, sorry.
- 2:16SPEAKER_02: Let me turn the audio off and it's off.
- 2:18SPEAKER_02: Continue.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: Wait, no, but we were texting.
- 2:21SPEAKER_00: We were texting, like, okay, we want to start a podcast, and we've told the origin story on here before.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: If you guys have watched all the apps, but if you're new to the pod, because well, there's Hella Clout sitting next to me right now.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: She's like on the showing.
- 2:33SPEAKER_00: But well, when we first started like thinking about wanting to start a podcast, we were just chatting with the girls about it.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: Like, we were like, Well, as we do, as we normally do, and it took a full year from like inception of thought, like the creation of the idea to like a fully formed thing.
- 2:49SPEAKER_02: I forget what our first username was.
- 2:51SPEAKER_02: Like, we created like accounts with us with no, we didn't though.
- 2:55SPEAKER_02: Was it after we the only username?
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: After Casey, because we had texted being like we really want to start a podcast, okay.
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: Yes, and Casey was like, but we were like, but we don't know what we're gonna call it.
- 3:04SPEAKER_00: And Casey chimed in on our group message and was like, Well, what about Rainy Day Pod?
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: And we were like, wait, no duh, like of course, like only made sense.
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: It was at that moment that it like turned into like an idea of what could be, and like all of that, into like, oh no, this is like a for real thing that we could actually do because we were inspired by something, and you gave us that gift.
- 3:26SPEAKER_00: So shout out Casey Forever, and the lore of this actually is that she was supposed to be the first guest on our podcast.
- 3:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah, she was, she was mad about it, and then we went on our business trip.
- 3:38SPEAKER_01: Things had to happen.
- 3:39SPEAKER_02: We went on a rainy day business trip, and then yeah, and Danny is iconic, so but hey, right, there's nothing wrong with me.
- 3:46SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, no, like you're the first Oklahoma guest and you're the first on this couch, on this couch, so you're the first in our live set, exactly.
- 3:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah, IRL, yeah, like and I'm blessed, I'm blessed and I'm honored.
- 3:57SPEAKER_01: Oh, let me just say well, we're blessed, we really are blessed, we really are.
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: So we always like to like preface the what the conditions are of like when we're filming in because most of the time we film on a Saturday, and like a Saturday morning, it's a little bit different.
- 4:11SPEAKER_00: The lighting is a little bit cozy.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: Bro, butter fingers, butter fingers.
- 4:18SPEAKER_02: Okay, for some reason I can't stop turning my mic.
- 4:21SPEAKER_02: Does it have anything to do with the dirty mortality?
- 4:24SPEAKER_02: Well, that's just about to get into it.
- 4:26SPEAKER_02: Let me ask you on here.
- 4:28SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes, it could, yes, it does.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: So they were dirty, so we I obviously am going on my trip to Iowa tomorrow, right?
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: So we could not film on Saturday as normal.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: So earlier this week we were like, okay, so we need Casey on the pod, let's figure it out, and then perfectly like Thursday lined up.
- 4:45SPEAKER_00: It really we were all free, so it's a Thursday night.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: We all got off work, um, went to a little happy hour situation with our other dear friend Breck, our dear friend of the pod, Break.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: Who will be on soon?
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: Watch out, stay tuned.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: So we went to Lay Prision if you for our OKC girls.
- 5:03SPEAKER_00: It's in Midtown, and it's that French restaurant that's super cute.
- 5:06SPEAKER_00: Cafe de Brazil used to be there.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: It was such a good happy hour though.
- 5:10SPEAKER_00: We got like six dollar drinks, it was so good.
- 5:12SPEAKER_01: All the drinks we normally would get anywhere else.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: Like our it was literally our classics, they put on the happy hour, yeah, and they made the bar so special.
- 5:21SPEAKER_02: So like instead of just sitting all in a line, they kind of form it out to where it's almost like the ends of the bar, you're sitting at a table.
- 5:28SPEAKER_03: It was perfect.
- 5:29SPEAKER_02: So I was like facing the girls.
- 5:31SPEAKER_02: Gabby was facing the girls.
- 5:32SPEAKER_02: It was like table, it was everything.
- 5:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, I was like, you guys are geniuses.
- 5:36SPEAKER_01: It was perfection.
- 5:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah, if you need a six dollar dirty martini, if you need a six dollar French 75, tap in to La Breason.
- 5:45SPEAKER_02: Monday through Friday, Friday, 4 to 6 p.m.
- 5:48SPEAKER_02: 4 to 6 p.m.
- 5:49SPEAKER_02: Happy hours.
- 5:49SPEAKER_00: So get into it.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: We're fresh off the happy hour.
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: So that explains your energy.
- 5:54SPEAKER_02: If you have it, if you couldn't catch on, we are fresh off the happy hour.
- 5:59SPEAKER_02: So let's just get that out of the way.
- 6:02SPEAKER_02: But before we get into anything, I'll go ahead and stick to the weather for today.
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: Which we've been bitching and moaning about all time for months, honestly.
- 6:11SPEAKER_00: Well, literally, anytime we bring up weather, I'm like, I know.
- 6:14SPEAKER_01: Anytime I walk out my car, I'm like, until oh my god.
- 6:18SPEAKER_02: Uh-oh.
- 6:18SPEAKER_02: I have horrible news, girls.
- 6:21SPEAKER_02: So let me just start off.
- 6:23SPEAKER_02: Right now in Oklahoma City, it's 90 degrees, sunny, not a cloud in the sky.
- 6:28SPEAKER_02: Mind you, 7 p.m.
- 6:29SPEAKER_02: here so I'm trying to eat.
- 6:31SPEAKER_02: It's 7 18 p.m.
- 6:32SPEAKER_02: It's 90 degrees.
- 6:33SPEAKER_02: That's we have a high of 95, a low of 76.
- 6:36SPEAKER_02: Mind you, you guys, we are not seeing these lows.
- 6:38SPEAKER_02: They're at like never 2 a.m., 5 a.m.
- 6:41SPEAKER_00: The lows don't matter.
- 6:42SPEAKER_00: I love Lacey that you care about the lows because you're from California.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: Well, not from California, but you're used to the lows being prevalent.
- 6:49SPEAKER_02: I have to mention it because when you are in other states, the lows do count.
- 6:53SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 6:54SPEAKER_02: I will say in Oklahoma City, they do not count.
- 6:57SPEAKER_02: The high is the high that will be the temperature all day.
- 6:59SPEAKER_02: It's a joke.
- 7:00SPEAKER_02: If you are in another state like California, you will have a gorgeous, cool, chilly night.
- 7:06SPEAKER_02: Here, you just don't get that.
- 7:08SPEAKER_02: It's a joke and a tease.
- 7:09SPEAKER_02: And it really is.
- 7:10SPEAKER_02: Well, it is a joke and a tease.
- 7:11SPEAKER_02: It 100% is.
- 7:14SPEAKER_02: And I love that.
- 7:15SPEAKER_02: It's a joke and a tease.
- 7:16SPEAKER_02: I hate to say, like, it did drop back into the 90s.
- 7:20SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, now that the weather's updated through next Saturday, we have 100, 101, 100.
- 7:26SPEAKER_02: We're never seeing the end of these hundreds.
- 7:30SPEAKER_00: And I also saw a very cursed image today on my for you page of a graph because there's this huge, like, oh yeah, tropical storm coming in.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: Or I think it's El Nina.
- 7:40SPEAKER_02: El Nino, El Nino, El Nina.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: And it's taking over like literally the whole country, except for Oklahoma and Texas.
- 7:48SPEAKER_00: That's it.
- 7:49SPEAKER_00: Starting next week.
- 7:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's El Nino, I think.
- 7:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 7:53SPEAKER_02: And have you guys been seeing?
- 7:54SPEAKER_02: So this is just a weather topic as well.
- 7:57SPEAKER_02: Um, I've been monitoring.
- 7:59SPEAKER_02: So apparently there is a her there's like three hurricanes across the whole like hemisphere, but in the like Pacific, like by California, there is so the temperatures of the water have gotten up to 80 degrees, which is not normal.
- 8:14SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: That's not like the Pacific is like very cold.
- 8:17SPEAKER_02: And yeah, we can I'll do some research, but I'm pretty sure this is actually like the water does not get that warm over there normally.
- 8:24SPEAKER_02: So because there's a hurricane in that area, it does have potential to like branch out actually into California because of the water temperature currently.
- 8:35SPEAKER_02: So everyone's monitoring the situation, like it has potential to be an actual hurricane, which hasn't been in since like the 80s, I believe.
- 8:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 8:43SPEAKER_02: Um, so I've been just seeing a few people on um like the weather Twitter.
- 8:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 8:49SPEAKER_02: The weather Twitter.
- 8:51SPEAKER_02: No, but like meteorologists will on Twitter that I like will see.
- 8:57SPEAKER_02: Like I always have weather bents on my on my Twitter feed.
- 9:00SPEAKER_03: Oh, weather Twitter?
- 9:03SPEAKER_02: And so I've saved a few that I can go back and kind of look for episodes.
- 9:09SPEAKER_02: Well, it no, it's this, it's like within the next three days, like this weekend, like Labor Day.
- 9:13SPEAKER_01: Okay, that is spooky because I haven't heard of it.
- 9:15SPEAKER_02: So it's the El Nino, is what it is.
- 9:17SPEAKER_01: Because I have a friend who's sailing from the I don't know where, but he was very scared that there was gonna be a good one.
- 9:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, it's like going down right here.
- 9:28SPEAKER_02: In trouble on the line, but anyway, yeah, besides weather events, obviously we've discussed this before.
- 9:36SPEAKER_02: We're having crazy heat waves everywhere across the country, and it's just horrible.
- 9:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's just horrible.
- 9:43SPEAKER_02: So we're waiting it out, we're waiting it out.
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: We sure are, we sure are.
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: But speaking of about being across the country and being other places, this is exactly why we need to get back to our guest here because well that ties right into our special guest.
- 9:55SPEAKER_00: That ties right into our special guest, Casey.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: So, but obviously, like she is the the creator of Rainy Day Pod Title, so we give her full credit for that.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: But also, she is like a lifelong friend of both of us in a like in different senses.
- 10:09SPEAKER_00: We both met her in different like eras of our lives.
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but I met her when we were in fourth, I was in fourth grade.
- 10:17SPEAKER_00: And well, we were both in fourth grade.
- 10:18SPEAKER_02: We were both, yeah.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: I was in fourth grade.
- 10:21SPEAKER_00: Um but I had just transferred schools, met her, and then when did you guys meet?
- 10:25SPEAKER_02: Freshman year.
- 10:26SPEAKER_02: Freshman year because you're we'll never forget.
- 10:28SPEAKER_02: And we watched oh, I'll never forget.
- 10:30SPEAKER_01: We watched Frozen, the single version of in what class?
- 10:34SPEAKER_01: So maybe in theaters we would just outside of your green.
- 10:39SPEAKER_01: We're taking this outside and we're going to find Linda was like, I have this friend that I want you to meet, she's really cool because I think you guys had math class or something.
- 10:46SPEAKER_02: We had math last hour, and we yeah, we watched Frozen.
- 10:49SPEAKER_01: And then I met Casey.
- 10:51SPEAKER_01: We literally and we clicked.
- 10:53SPEAKER_01: We said, Yeah, we even tried to have our own YouTube channel.
- 10:56SPEAKER_01: So, yes, we did LLC.
- 10:59SPEAKER_00: You won the lacey casey.
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: Okay, let's just start here.
- 11:04SPEAKER_00: The fact that Casey is the common denominator of every YouTube channel that we've ever created.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: Because you want to use you're talking about LLC, baby.
- 11:14SPEAKER_00: Before LLC before GMC.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: So Gabby Macy K.
- 11:19SPEAKER_00: No, no, we're heard about the I'm like, oh, but this is this is like honestly the cutest, sweetest thing.
- 11:30SPEAKER_00: Like, Casey's always been our like creative friend.
- 11:33SPEAKER_00: Like Casey has always been like such a talented writer.
- 11:37SPEAKER_00: Like, she's oh okay, we're going everywhere, but sorry, these thoughts are coming up as I say them.
- 11:42SPEAKER_02: Remember, remember Love Parisian happy hour.
- 11:45SPEAKER_02: Okay, remember remember as you're watching.
- 11:47SPEAKER_02: We're fine, we're fine.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: Give us grace.
- 11:49SPEAKER_00: Take a second and just give us some grace, extension grace.
- 11:52SPEAKER_01: Just sink into our to our Bible.
- 11:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah, honestly, you'll be fine.
- 11:55SPEAKER_01: I'm off on a drink.
- 11:56SPEAKER_01: Are you at work?
- 11:57SPEAKER_01: I'll have a drink.
- 11:58SPEAKER_01: Um, take a shot every time we say free spirit.
- 12:02SPEAKER_00: Oh no, literally.
- 12:04SPEAKER_00: People talk about Casey.
- 12:05SPEAKER_02: She's such a free spirit.
- 12:06SPEAKER_02: Well, this is what what I'm saying.
- 12:08SPEAKER_02: Like, parents, grandparents, like are always obsessed with Casey.
- 12:12SPEAKER_02: Yes, like literally, my grandma would be like, Oh my god.
- 12:15SPEAKER_02: And she thinks she is such an old soul and she's such a free spirit.
- 12:20SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 12:20SPEAKER_02: And it's just like as like cliche as it is, it there's so much to it because she has the the wisdom and the words of an old soul.
- 12:29SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 12:30SPEAKER_00: And what I was trying to say when I got off on my tangent, so Casey's always been like so creative, like so well, like uh on like I what I remember the most is like you doing your journal entries in like fourth and fifth grade, and then being so good, and she had the best handwriting.
- 12:48SPEAKER_00: But let's take a step up from that.
- 12:49SPEAKER_00: So then we graduated into tumblr.com and Instagram.com.
- 12:55SPEAKER_00: And so mind you, we have hella years between us, like we've been through all the phases.
- 12:59SPEAKER_00: So many errors when we saw One Direction for the first time.
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there was something that really changed in seventh grade.
- 13:07SPEAKER_00: There was something it was seventh grade, right?
- 13:08SPEAKER_00: I think so.
- 13:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I had a whole binder.
- 13:10SPEAKER_01: I can envision myself on my trampoline, like making a one direction binder, yeah.
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and so then we created an account called They Drive Us Insane, fire, fire, and it was good.
- 13:25SPEAKER_00: They drive us insane.
- 13:26SPEAKER_00: People are like, oh, and it makes so much sense.
- 13:30SPEAKER_00: Like, she did the fan fix because we were a page.
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: If you guys were on real One Direction Twitter, you were a member, like it would be a graphic, and then it would be the full caption of full fanfic.
- 13:42SPEAKER_01: You needed a little bit of everything in those those times, and 100%.
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: Most people did not have a Wattpad account, like most younger.
- 13:50SPEAKER_00: Oh, but honey, yeah, I sure did.
- 13:51SPEAKER_00: Well, right.
- 13:52SPEAKER_02: And I also did have an IG of my own, a Nile.
- 13:55SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, what was it called?
- 13:57SPEAKER_02: Nile.
- 13:57SPEAKER_01: Did I not know that?
- 13:58SPEAKER_01: Because that's like oh no, you didn't.
- 14:00SPEAKER_01: Okay, I was tough.
- 14:01SPEAKER_01: And I was a Nile girl, like through so it was a Nile Harry page.
- 14:07SPEAKER_02: Oh no, honey, we all we all had a Wattpad.
- 14:09SPEAKER_02: We all read about it.
- 14:10SPEAKER_00: I think we all, I think we all have I think we all have a One Direction fan page.
- 14:16SPEAKER_01: Wait, I'm obsessed with that though.
- 14:18SPEAKER_00: It was literally like that.
- 14:19SPEAKER_00: Was like my first memory of like running a social media account, and a lot of girls say that.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: Like a lot of girls who worked in social media marketing are like in doing that was One Direction fan accounts.
- 14:31SPEAKER_00: So you would write the captions and you would write the copy, and I would do the graphics, I would be on Pixart, I would be on all these different apps making collage collages, all these things, and we'd post them.
- 14:43SPEAKER_01: And people loved it.
- 14:44SPEAKER_01: People loved it.
- 14:45SPEAKER_00: You had a good amount of followers.
- 14:46SPEAKER_00: Oh, period.
- 14:47SPEAKER_01: So that when we decided to retire it, I said, hey, let me just take that Instagram for myself.
- 14:52SPEAKER_01: I think she would be waiting is that your current Instagram?
- 14:56SPEAKER_01: So my mom in middle school got mad at me because I liked a Harry Styles photo that was like a little shirtless crazy.
- 15:02SPEAKER_01: Was it shirtless?
- 15:03SPEAKER_01: He was like doing some crazy, like Bindy, Bindy, Bindy motions, and okay, it wasn't even weird, but she was she used to be on she thought it was inappropriate.
- 15:13SPEAKER_01: It was inappropriate.
- 15:14SPEAKER_01: She asked for my Instagram password and username.
- 15:17SPEAKER_01: I gave it to her, I should have said, I forgot, but she deleted my account, and then everybody was like the next day they were like, You want to follow me off Instagram?
- 15:22SPEAKER_01: I was like, No, my like my mom deleted my account, so that she actually took it away, she took it away, and it's not there anymore.
- 15:28SPEAKER_01: So that was one done and dusted.
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: But shout out to Joey for being a ring drop as well because she follows us on everyone.
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: She does, she does.
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: I love Joey.
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: So shout out to that.
- 15:40SPEAKER_01: You you know, and we've grown.
- 15:41SPEAKER_01: So we've grown from that.
- 15:43SPEAKER_01: So that was a time.
- 15:44SPEAKER_00: It was a time for sure.
- 15:46SPEAKER_00: So they met in high school, we met in elementary school, we went to school together up until graduation, and then after graduation, high school graduation, Casey and Lacey took a little adventure.
- 15:58SPEAKER_00: Oh, hold on, but let tell us a little bit about like you growing up, like because obviously, like as your friend, like I feel like we didn't always talk about it to that extent of like you wanting to explore and and travel and all the things.
- 16:12SPEAKER_02: But like when you were in high school, did you always urge to like go elsewhere?
- 16:16SPEAKER_01: Yes, I will say the urge to go elsewhere was always there, but it's funny because I did always see it as like I imagine myself honestly, and it was funny because then you were living in California as well.
- 16:27SPEAKER_01: But I was my whole childhood, I was like, I don't know, I kind of want to move away.
- 16:32SPEAKER_01: And I was thinking it would be somewhere in the States that I would be like moving to California, um, I don't know, just somewhere close by the colour.
- 16:39SPEAKER_01: Somewhere where the skater boys were.
- 16:41SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 16:41SPEAKER_01: Somewhere where the skater boys were, and no longer learned my lesson here.
- 16:44SPEAKER_01: So that's but I did yeah, just want to be somewhere where the sea was nearby and the vibe was right, I guess.
- 16:52SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 16:52SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 16:53SPEAKER_01: But it didn't end up, you know, panning out that way.
- 16:56SPEAKER_01: Because I remember actually then it was post-graduation, I was working a host job at a restaurant Republic, and I like I remember it so clear.
- 17:06SPEAKER_01: But I had my phone like in the drawer, I pull it out, and I see Lady text me.
- 17:10SPEAKER_01: And she's living in San Diego at the time, and she's like, I have a proposition for you.
- 17:14SPEAKER_01: And I tell this world at times, it was just so it's like so ingrained because it really did uh propel me, I think, to like take those bigger leaps later.
- 17:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but she was like, Yeah, I have a proposition for you.
- 17:24SPEAKER_01: I found this um what were they like on the ground?
- 17:29SPEAKER_01: It's a program of sorts.
- 17:30SPEAKER_02: Let me just say, I knew exactly who to go to for this mission.
- 17:34SPEAKER_01: I have an idea.
- 17:35SPEAKER_02: I had this idea.
- 17:36SPEAKER_02: So after high school, I moved to San Diego with my family, and I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do.
- 17:43SPEAKER_02: I wasn't like ready to go to college yet.
- 17:45SPEAKER_02: Like, I didn't know what I exactly was prepared for.
- 17:49SPEAKER_02: Like, I was like, I don't know which adventure I want to go to.
- 17:52SPEAKER_02: However, I had seen this person go on this little teaching adventure called well we'll I don't know if we should exactly say the word, but it was called and they went to China and they taught English and were on this whole like venture where they traveled to China, or they did so many different countries, but I was so like set on this China one that I was like, I'm gonna apply for it.
- 18:20SPEAKER_02: And I was like, Well, I don't really want to do it for myself, but I know exactly someone who would do it with me.
- 18:24SPEAKER_02: I said, and I was like, and I literally had no doubts in my mind.
- 18:28SPEAKER_02: I was like, why the fuck not?
- 18:30SPEAKER_02: Literally fuck the strong literally.
- 18:32SPEAKER_02: I was like, and mind you, we're living in different states, but I'm like, I 100% know that Casey, like I literally had no doubt.
- 18:38SPEAKER_02: I was like, I know Casey will do this with me.
- 18:40SPEAKER_01: Because I also was like unsure what to do, right?
- 18:43SPEAKER_01: Like we were both in kind of like this weird, like yeah, just weird situation period, transition, yes, and so it was like, well, would you be down to move to China for four months?
- 18:56SPEAKER_01: Oh and of course, and of course, of course she said yes, yes, so things, you know, it was like I don't know, a few months later, I feel like we were already oh, it was literally like less than six months after graduation.
- 19:09SPEAKER_02: Like we were like, come so we graduated obviously summer, like summer of what was it, 2017.
- 19:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and then by like December is when I went to the training, like the okay the training in Utah.
- 19:25SPEAKER_02: And when I that's when I met Lizzie and DJ.
- 19:27SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, you went to Utah.
- 19:29SPEAKER_02: I went to Utah by myself.
- 19:32SPEAKER_02: I stayed with Deedra in a stranger's house.
- 19:35SPEAKER_02: I forget about that.
- 19:36SPEAKER_01: I forgot about that as well.
- 19:37SPEAKER_02: You guys, I gave a no she was during this era.
- 19:40SPEAKER_02: I was like young wild and I had nothing to lose, and I was bored, and I was like, literally, what do I have to do?
- 19:46SPEAKER_02: Let me find out so I literally stayed with like the fact that I just DMed her and she like took me into her.
- 19:51SPEAKER_00: That's so crazy.
- 19:52SPEAKER_02: I can't.
- 19:53SPEAKER_02: We literally met up, took IG photos on my digital camera.
- 19:58SPEAKER_02: I was like, like it was crazy out here.
- 20:02SPEAKER_01: Casey did you do the virtual no, it genuinely worked.
- 20:05SPEAKER_01: I'm confused because I genuinely don't remember any of the things.
- 20:08SPEAKER_01: Did you do any training?
- 20:11SPEAKER_01: Casey showed right off in there.
- 20:12SPEAKER_02: But she showed up any and she was my roommate.
- 20:16SPEAKER_02: So we moved to Weihai China in what was it, like February?
- 20:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah, February or March of 2018.
- 20:24SPEAKER_02: We live in Weihai China for four months.
- 20:27SPEAKER_02: We literally go on the we're teaching English, we're going on excursions on the weekends.
- 20:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we have an end of the year, two-year vacation, we're going up to the Great Wall.
- 20:40SPEAKER_02: I mean, I know when we went, but we were about two weeks.
- 20:45SPEAKER_01: Well, so many things too.
- 20:46SPEAKER_01: Like, we we were in a rivalry because I don't know if I should say all of this, but there was half it being based out of Utah, the program, it was half Mormon.
- 20:54SPEAKER_01: So, like, I don't know.
- 20:55SPEAKER_02: So that no, no, but please include this.
- 20:58SPEAKER_01: There's a clear division.
- 20:59SPEAKER_01: So there were two girls from Utah, Lizzie and Mary, who they were like oh no, majority of people were from we were pretty much the only people that were not from Utah.
- 21:08SPEAKER_02: Is a religious well, they're not religious, but they're religious organization, like they have very strict laws, you guys.
- 21:14SPEAKER_02: You had to sign a contract, very strict rules.
- 21:16SPEAKER_02: We had to sign a contract, we weren't supposed to drink, we weren't supposed to go like we had to there were very strict rules, you guys, that we did not follow.
- 21:25SPEAKER_01: We didn't follow them, and it was hard because in China you're legal.
- 21:28SPEAKER_01: We were 18, you're allowed to try.
- 21:29SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're allowed to do that.
- 21:30SPEAKER_02: But through our organization, through our contract, and through our peers, we were not supposed to be doing these things.
- 21:36SPEAKER_01: Or even about so piercings, but I came pierced up and I said, Well, what do you want to do?
- 21:41SPEAKER_02: It's that on the it was like very strict.
- 21:44SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I didn't know this when it was happening.
- 21:46SPEAKER_01: But we said we're gonna make we're gonna make our own trip and we're we're just gonna go.
- 21:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah, of course, because we're gonna do home clubs.
- 21:53SPEAKER_02: Where are we going to clubs?
- 21:54SPEAKER_01: We tried.
- 21:54SPEAKER_02: Were you going to clubs?
- 21:55SPEAKER_02: Can I ask?
- 21:57SPEAKER_01: Because that so yeah, it was involved with.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: Our main teacher.
- 22:01SPEAKER_01: With our head teachers.
- 22:02SPEAKER_01: So there were two head teachers.
- 22:03SPEAKER_01: One, she was hilarious, left for down.
- 22:05SPEAKER_01: But right, but she was more following the rules.
- 22:07SPEAKER_01: The other one, she was like, I'm getting turned with you guys and we're going out to the clubs.
- 22:11SPEAKER_01: We met all these Europeans there who finally were like, Oh my god, like there's other teachers here.
- 22:15SPEAKER_01: And they were like, Why are you guys volunteering?
- 22:17SPEAKER_02: Because there's a lot of people, there's a lot of like major schools in the area that we taught in that there would be like foreigners, like not like people that did not obviously weren't from the area, but like they were coming from abroad.
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: They like wanted you know English.
- 22:31SPEAKER_02: It was like a huge thing.
- 22:32SPEAKER_01: They said dance monkey dance, they had a standard.
- 22:34SPEAKER_01: Literally doing all the things for them.
- 22:36SPEAKER_01: Literally, no, I'll never forget that.
- 22:38SPEAKER_01: And and they were precious.
- 22:39SPEAKER_01: There were so many beautiful oh my god, it was over outside.
- 22:42SPEAKER_01: But hey buddy, but the clubs like let's talk about the clubs a little bit.
- 22:47SPEAKER_01: So the clubs were in China.
- 22:49SPEAKER_01: So can I ask some questions?
- 22:50SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 22:51SPEAKER_00: Okay, so when you guys were in China, so you guys flew there together or separate?
- 22:56SPEAKER_00: No, we flew together.
- 22:58SPEAKER_02: Casey came to San Diego.
- 22:59SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 23:00SPEAKER_02: My dad took us to the airport.
- 23:01SPEAKER_02: We flew from San Diego to San Francisco.
- 23:04SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 23:04SPEAKER_02: San Francisco to Beijing.
- 23:06SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 23:06SPEAKER_02: And we missed it.
- 23:07SPEAKER_02: Me and Casey, our flight got delayed.
- 23:10SPEAKER_02: We got stuck in Beijing for a whole night.
- 23:13SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 23:13SPEAKER_02: Trapped.
- 23:14SPEAKER_02: We had no idea what we were going to do.
- 23:16SPEAKER_02: We had to call the emergency line to our services that we were with.
- 23:20SPEAKER_02: We stayed, we got put in a hotel.
- 23:22SPEAKER_01: Haunted hotel.
- 23:23SPEAKER_01: Mind you, we open our windows and it's a dining area.
- 23:26SPEAKER_01: It's a dining area.
- 23:27SPEAKER_01: They're just looking into our room.
- 23:28SPEAKER_01: Lacey was sick.
- 23:29SPEAKER_01: I feel like that night you were sick.
- 23:31SPEAKER_01: It was like a mess.
- 23:32SPEAKER_01: I was watching this haunted Chinese TV show that I had also watched in a Chinese restaurant in OKC with this like man that I had just been with that I it was haunted.
- 23:41SPEAKER_01: I was like, what's going on right now?
- 23:42SPEAKER_01: We gotta get out of here.
- 23:44SPEAKER_01: And we did eventually we made it, met all the people that we were with.
- 23:47SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so then you met everyone.
- 23:49SPEAKER_02: So we eventually we were the last ones to make it to our school, like that we were saying.
- 23:54SPEAKER_02: And we had been obviously in contact with like Deidre and Lizzie beforehand, like two girls that we were we knew we were going with.
- 24:02SPEAKER_02: And everyone was already in their rooms.
- 24:04SPEAKER_02: Me and Casey were the literal last room in the hallway.
- 24:08SPEAKER_02: The last to arrive, we were like, hey, I'll do it.
- 24:12SPEAKER_02: Like everyone was already there.
- 24:14SPEAKER_02: And me and Casey got trapped in Beijing for like 24 hours.
- 24:18SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
- 24:18SPEAKER_02: We I remember two when we landed in Beijing, it was like midnight, and we had not even eaten it.
- 24:23SPEAKER_01: And we actually saw two of the people in I can't remember their names now.
- 24:27SPEAKER_02: It was met, it was oh two yeah.
- 24:30SPEAKER_01: I forgot whatever their names were.
- 24:32SPEAKER_01: We saw them.
- 24:32SPEAKER_01: We're like, hey, we're also going to be trapped with two other people.
- 24:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 24:36SPEAKER_02: I forgot about that.
- 24:37SPEAKER_02: I forgot about that.
- 24:38SPEAKER_00: So okay, so then you get accustomed, you meet everyone, you get you know the rules going into it.
- 24:44SPEAKER_00: So how does that happen when you're like assessing the vibe of like, oh, so y'all are down to clown two?
- 24:50SPEAKER_00: Like the rules.
- 24:52SPEAKER_00: So how did you guys figure that out?
- 24:54SPEAKER_00: Was it just based off vibes?
- 24:55SPEAKER_00: Was someone going around?
- 24:56SPEAKER_00: Was there a bad kid in the class being like?
- 25:00SPEAKER_01: And I think it was a it was just an obvious vibe reading of like, okay, we're all going out, and then the other like really strict Mormons who were there to abide by the law, they're like, so it's not a clear it up, like illegal.
- 25:15SPEAKER_02: Not a religious organization, but it like low-key is.
- 25:18SPEAKER_01: It just hardly's more religious.
- 25:20SPEAKER_01: We had like our own, we had like a little group message.
- 25:22SPEAKER_01: We all lived in, we're living in the school.
- 25:24SPEAKER_01: It's like a boarding school basically with children who are aged like from kindergarten all the way until high school.
- 25:30SPEAKER_01: Um, some of them we were basically teaching, I think, first and second graders.
- 25:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we were first and seconders.
- 25:36SPEAKER_01: Some of them were a little crazy.
- 25:38SPEAKER_01: The way that they taught was a little, you know, but they were precious.
- 25:42SPEAKER_01: We got so attached to these kids.
- 25:44SPEAKER_02: Like if you're with these kids for four months, like we would see them every day.
- 25:49SPEAKER_02: And these kids lived at that school.
- 25:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 25:52SPEAKER_02: So we would literally like our our class that we taught, like we would have like rotations, but like we would have our home class.
- 25:59SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 25:59SPEAKER_02: So with our home class, we would literally they would spend the night at the school, as did we, and we would go tuck them in for bed every night.
- 26:06SPEAKER_02: And they'd have their parents there, they were staying by themselves with their classmates, or sometimes we were able to go to their parents' house, like they would invite us over.
- 26:14SPEAKER_02: They would go to their parents like on the weekends, yeah.
- 26:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but they would stay at the school during the week.
- 26:18SPEAKER_01: It had like a rigorous, you know, education.
- 26:20SPEAKER_01: It's a very, very education.
- 26:24SPEAKER_01: Some parts of it made me sad.
- 26:25SPEAKER_01: Like we didn't come to sell, but there was a teacher who like poured a trash can over a child who was like pretty naughty and had all the kids like come and point and laugh at him.
- 26:32SPEAKER_01: And I was like, That's wait, what?
- 26:33SPEAKER_01: I don't even remember that.
- 26:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was one of my kids who was like he was kind of more of the like troublemaker, but I was like, Oh, like that's how we're taking care of it.
- 26:40SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh.
- 26:41SPEAKER_00: I don't even remember that.
- 26:43SPEAKER_00: Well, you know what is cool to think about then is like it's been 10 years almost since then.
- 26:48SPEAKER_00: So imagine how grown these people are now.
- 26:50SPEAKER_01: I know, I know the kids that were in your class, it really is crazy, and I'm sure they remember you guys, it's really cool.
- 26:56SPEAKER_01: Like we had American friends who teach us, you know, because of course there were ways that we like, okay, am I teaching you properly?
- 27:02SPEAKER_01: The the there were students who didn't speak any English, but there were kids were like trilingual, so with them making a difference.
- 27:08SPEAKER_01: The others, maybe I'm not teaching you a lot, but at least we're providing a little bit of a chiller fun vibe for you, yeah.
- 27:16SPEAKER_01: Like yeah, strict education.
- 27:18SPEAKER_01: But totally, but yeah, we were living in like a hallway all together.
- 27:21SPEAKER_02: We were living in a little, it was kind of like a dorm.
- 27:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like living kitchen.
- 27:26SPEAKER_00: Tell the stories about the clubs, yeah.
- 27:27SPEAKER_00: You're so what was the what was the club scene like?
- 27:30SPEAKER_01: Like um, it was like I think Vegas were like knives in the mouth, fire, but it was crazy, there was like trauma occurring on those stages.
- 27:39SPEAKER_01: It would be like the box, New York City, yes, yeah, yes, like and mind you, our head teacher, also who was there, Kelly.
- 27:45SPEAKER_01: She was like our she worked at the school, she was like a you know, like a mother, I think.
- 27:49SPEAKER_01: She was you know, but she came with us to the club sometimes, and we would be like partying, but we would be like watching on stage just really odd things occurring.
- 27:57SPEAKER_00: And this is you guys are 18 years old, like the most that you've been to up in this point is like a house party, it's literally in Edmond, Oklahoma.
- 28:06SPEAKER_00: Like kind of like yeah, Chinese.
- 28:08SPEAKER_00: And it's like a full Chinese club.
- 28:10SPEAKER_02: Like what where we where we were in Weihai, it's of it's a small town, it's not like you're in like Shanghai, it's like they're not used to um like tourists and things, yeah.
- 28:22SPEAKER_00: So, did you guys ever get in trouble for going out to the club since it was so we did?
- 28:26SPEAKER_01: Okay, so it was actually our head teacher who was with us.
- 28:30SPEAKER_01: She was nervous that the other head teacher was gonna route us out.
- 28:34SPEAKER_01: So instead of letting that happen, she decided, let me take it upon myself and snitch on all of us.
- 28:39SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 28:39SPEAKER_01: So in our contract, if we did that, if we broke contract and went out and drank, we had to pay like$750.
- 28:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah, if you broke the contract, mind you, so I was the only one who I think more had this love for steal money.
- 28:52SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
- 28:53SPEAKER_01: No, but seriously, the LDS church loves the money.
- 28:56SPEAKER_01: I'm not there.
- 28:56SPEAKER_01: And so I came, I came at them and I said, So I'm so sorry, but you see, 750 is like all I have.
- 29:02SPEAKER_01: So if you take this for me, I said, I will just be at the school the whole time.
- 29:06SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna have any fun, no vacations will be had.
- 29:09SPEAKER_01: And he ended up being like, Okay, if you don't tell a soul about this, I'll give you the money back because I'd already sent it at that point.
- 29:16SPEAKER_01: But he's like, I will send it back to you.
- 29:18SPEAKER_01: But if anybody else from your program asks about this, like you're gonna have to send it back.
- 29:22SPEAKER_01: I was like, Lacey, did you get in trouble?
- 29:24SPEAKER_01: I did not.
- 29:24SPEAKER_00: Okay, well, period.
- 29:25SPEAKER_01: So that's a lot of paper radar.
- 29:28SPEAKER_01: She did, yeah, but you were going out more.
- 29:30SPEAKER_01: You were going out more than Lacey.
- 29:32SPEAKER_01: I was, and so I was on the list of names that she was troubled.
- 29:35SPEAKER_01: I was and I was there were moments where yeah, I was troubled.
- 29:39SPEAKER_01: I was, and I hate to admit it.
- 29:41SPEAKER_01: Oh scary for my friend, Lacey, probably.
- 29:43SPEAKER_00: I would be freaking out being in the thing.
- 29:45SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I would be freaking out, guys.
- 29:47SPEAKER_00: Like, I can't imagine being bound to those rules, like yeah, and then like living with the like, oh my god, I'm gonna get in trouble for this.
- 29:52SPEAKER_00: I'm all the way across the world.
- 29:53SPEAKER_02: Well, it was crazy.
- 29:54SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was like it was not real at that point, it didn't work.
- 29:57SPEAKER_02: But it was like it was a reality.
- 29:59SPEAKER_01: And then all the but all the Europeans were like, Why are you got you paid to be here and you're volunteering?
- 30:03SPEAKER_01: Like, we're getting paid, you know, a lot of money to be teaching here.
- 30:06SPEAKER_01: And we're like, oh, there were different things.
- 30:09SPEAKER_01: There were different programs, different programs going on.
- 30:12SPEAKER_01: But for our first, you know, major trip, you know, at that age, I I don't I wouldn't take anything back, I wouldn't change.
- 30:18SPEAKER_00: No, it was it was honestly everything.
- 30:20SPEAKER_00: No, and uh you guys made the best memories.
- 30:22SPEAKER_00: Like, I remember I was in college at the time, and I remember them sending photos and videos, and it looked so much fun.
- 30:29SPEAKER_00: They did a talent show with the kids where you could dance to dance monkeys.
- 30:32SPEAKER_00: I got this fan in was it dance monkey?
- 30:34SPEAKER_02: No, it's an oh no monkey button uh Justin Timberlake, the troll song.
- 30:43SPEAKER_02: No, it's not happy.
- 30:45SPEAKER_00: They did this whole talent show, like it was just so funny.
- 30:48SPEAKER_01: So we had memories, we had good memories.
- 30:50SPEAKER_01: I mean, amazing memories of the train to see the Great Wall of China.
- 30:54SPEAKER_01: We went on like 14-hour train rides.
- 30:57SPEAKER_01: Mind you, we only stopped everything for like three hours at the Great Wall, immediately got back on the train for 14 hours because we got there really late, like literally prepared.
- 31:06SPEAKER_01: All of the other Mormons who were there, they were like, You guys are never gonna make it.
- 31:09SPEAKER_01: I was like, Why are you doing this to us?
- 31:11SPEAKER_01: Like, we're just a great time, and we had a great time.
- 31:14SPEAKER_01: We conquered, so no, we didn't.
- 31:16SPEAKER_01: That's great.
- 31:18SPEAKER_00: So then after China, so then you went back home to Oklahoma.
- 31:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, we did stay a little in California for a little bit.
- 31:26SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 31:27SPEAKER_00: And then after California, then you went back home because you had time at home before you went off to it.
- 31:36SPEAKER_01: Well, a long time, but like eight months or so that I was kind of back in the States and yeah, wondering, like, okay, what's next for me?
- 31:42SPEAKER_01: And I was like, You had that wonderlust, all that wonderless.
- 31:44SPEAKER_01: I really did.
- 31:45SPEAKER_01: I had that little bite from that wonderless bug.
- 31:47SPEAKER_01: So I said, Well, I had always thought of Australia, which is so random, but I it was yeah, it was just this Instagram girl, Mimi.
- 31:56SPEAKER_01: Sorry, that I would clip a tier at this point.
- 32:01SPEAKER_00: Okay, guys, we had a little bit of technical difficulties, but we're back and we have our little guest, TT.
- 32:07SPEAKER_00: It's his first episode.

- 32:13SPEAKER_00: Your son is live.
- 32:14SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh, your son is live on the ground.
- 32:16SPEAKER_00: So we I think we already addressed this.
- 32:18SPEAKER_00: We're not using our normal microphones, and unfortunately, I set Casey up for um not success.
- 32:23SPEAKER_00: And it's in fact sounded like she was God.
- 32:26SPEAKER_00: Um beaming down.
- 32:28SPEAKER_00: But beaming down from the ether.
- 32:30SPEAKER_00: Boom, boom.
- 32:31SPEAKER_00: It was crazy.
- 32:32SPEAKER_00: So you might have heard a little bit about that.
- 32:34SPEAKER_02: Major echo setting, but it's fine.
- 32:36SPEAKER_02: It's fine.
- 32:38SPEAKER_00: Someone's blowing up our group message.
- 32:39SPEAKER_00: Let me put my shit on, do not disturb.
- 32:41SPEAKER_00: Um, okay, so we were talking about how Casey had moved to Australia from being home in Oklahoma for a while, and then you had sparked the idea of let me go to Australia and see what's out there for me.
- 32:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 32:53SPEAKER_00: So you were doing an a pair, is that how you say it?
- 32:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and it was a little bit a little bit touch and go.
- 33:01SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 33:01SPEAKER_01: Touch and go is a good way to describe it.
- 33:06SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 33:06SPEAKER_01: It wasn't it could have been worse.
- 33:07SPEAKER_01: It could have been worse.
- 33:08SPEAKER_01: You know, the first family was lovely.
- 33:10SPEAKER_01: Second one, not so much.
- 33:11SPEAKER_01: But that was when I decided after the second family to prolong my trip because I did have, you know, a five-month kind of like return ticket, you know, to abide by.
- 33:21SPEAKER_01: But I decided I don't think I think that's not real, actually.
- 33:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I just needed to find more that I hadn't found there yet.
- 33:33SPEAKER_01: So we stayed.
- 33:34SPEAKER_01: Um and I found I ended up finding people that I had been calling in.
- 33:38SPEAKER_01: I feel like people who were living on the beach and they were about to travel to, you know, I think it was yeah, it was Australia's version of Burning Man.
- 33:47SPEAKER_01: So that was my first like festival that we went to.
- 33:50SPEAKER_01: Um and then from there we went to Melbourne and lived in this like off-grid warehouse community.
- 33:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 33:58SPEAKER_01: Where yeah, it was kind of like an adult playground, so they had yeah, just lots of magic and breaking.
- 34:03SPEAKER_00: Where would you sleep?
- 34:04SPEAKER_00: Like, uh, was were there cots made up when you were there?
- 34:07SPEAKER_01: Everybody was like, you had to share a bed.
- 34:10SPEAKER_01: It was the thing of the matter.
- 34:12SPEAKER_01: And so as I said, there was yeah, like that little like magic little bookshelf door that you would open, and that would lead you to some beds.
- 34:19SPEAKER_01: But I ended up kind of easy, like it was cute.
- 34:23SPEAKER_01: It was like we would host like fundraiser parties, and every area would be like a different vibe.
- 34:29SPEAKER_01: Um but I I ended up being involved romantically with somebody who lived there, so we were staying in some random room there, you know.
- 34:40SPEAKER_01: It ended up being a trapdoor situation, actually.
- 34:44SPEAKER_01: Trapdoor mama, you're like it was literally you guys like we lived in this because they were kind of just building everything.
- 34:50SPEAKER_01: There was like all different people with all different skills, so there were like construction guys there, so they built us this room, trade, trade, Australian trade, they had a um well, it was so funny.
- 35:04SPEAKER_01: We had this like airport moment, yeah.
- 35:07SPEAKER_02: Is that how you say it?
- 35:07SPEAKER_02: Melbourne, exactly.
- 35:09SPEAKER_02: Isn't it funny how like when you're in the country, like you realize like Shanghai, like everyone says Shanghai, but when you're there, everyone says Shanghai.
- 35:17SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 35:17SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, Melbourne versus Melbourne.
- 35:20SPEAKER_02: No, yeah.
- 35:21SPEAKER_01: I was like, my tickets to Brisbane, and she was like, Brisbane.
- 35:25SPEAKER_01: I was like, Okay, you're like okay, but she'll give me the ticket, cop it over, pop it over.
- 35:29SPEAKER_01: Give it up, baby.
- 35:30SPEAKER_01: Give it up, give me the work bag, literally.
- 35:32SPEAKER_01: But yeah, so we had a we just had a random room that we lived in, but eventually they like constructed a room for us where it was like I had to jump down, like there were two stories.
- 35:42SPEAKER_01: I had to climb up stairs to get to the second story, open a trap door in the floor, then jump down into my bed.
- 35:49SPEAKER_01: They would have meditations on the second story to where in the morning they were sitting on my trap door.
- 35:54SPEAKER_01: I couldn't get out of my bed.
- 35:55SPEAKER_01: I'm not even kidding.
- 35:56SPEAKER_01: I was like, hey, hey, you guys, and they're in meditation, and you're like, You know what this is giving though?
- 36:02SPEAKER_02: The Jonas Brothers TV show where they lived in a fire station.
- 36:05SPEAKER_00: No, no, I was just picking up the fire station of uh Princess Diaries.
- 36:09SPEAKER_00: Okay, when they live in the fire station and go down the floor.
- 36:11SPEAKER_01: Because we had a pool.
- 36:12SPEAKER_01: And that's so it really was that, so it was beautiful.
- 36:15SPEAKER_01: Everything was like, well, okay, waiting in the morning for like 10 minutes to the bathroom, sweet toilet was not super.
- 36:21SPEAKER_00: Because it was that crazy.
- 36:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 36:24SPEAKER_01: One of the funnest memories from that time was we did like a beer hunt where we we dumpster dived all our foods.
- 36:29SPEAKER_01: We were able to go to like different grocery store dumpsters and find just me to make for all of us.
- 36:35SPEAKER_00: I just found, I was trying to clear out my following on Instagram, and I found your finsta at the time that you were there.
- 36:42SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
- 36:42SPEAKER_00: And I still follow it.
- 36:44SPEAKER_00: I have all the photos so I can pull them for this.
- 36:46SPEAKER_00: But you had made a post about how you were only you were only eating meat if you weren't purchasing or something like that.
- 36:54SPEAKER_01: We called ourselves freegan.
- 36:55SPEAKER_01: We were like, we're not gonna buy animal products, but if we come across it, like yes, because the the dumpsters there are different, it's a different situation.
- 37:02SPEAKER_01: And some people, yes, I know that sounds disgusting, but there was like fresh produce, like I mean, we wouldn't, I wouldn't really.
- 37:08SPEAKER_01: I think it's so cool though.
- 37:11SPEAKER_01: They even had a restaurant there that like um it was a non-profit, they're bringing it back now, closed during COVID, but they were able to like feed the city with like donation-based fees.
- 37:20SPEAKER_01: You just pay what you could, right?
- 37:24SPEAKER_01: So cool, you know, but they would get it before it went to dumpster, obviously, but like partnered at the grocery stores there.
- 37:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah, um so back to the beer hunt.
- 37:30SPEAKER_00: Sorry, I threw it.
- 37:31SPEAKER_01: So we went to a liquor store where they just threw away like a bunch of beer that would either be for some reason it would either come like happen to it was closed and sealed.
- 37:39SPEAKER_01: So there was just like hundreds of beer cans in their dumpsters, and we got all those.
- 37:43SPEAKER_01: We would write like a silly task on them and then hide them.
- 37:46SPEAKER_01: Like a winter on the warehouse, and anytime you find one of the beers, you have to complete the task before you like down the beer.
- 37:53SPEAKER_01: So one of them was like shade.
- 37:56SPEAKER_01: Something but cheap.
- 37:57SPEAKER_01: So like this guy vegan Dave was getting.
- 38:00SPEAKER_00: I remember vegan Dave.
- 38:01SPEAKER_00: You would tell me you would tell us about vegan Dave after yes.
- 38:04SPEAKER_01: So we had a normal vegan Dave who was like, and and then one of them was like get all the instruments out to like the music room, and it was like seeing the stars fingled banner, and like not even everybody's American, so that was really silly.
- 38:18SPEAKER_01: One of them was like, get a bunch of construction gear and like go on smoke go so we put on our like hard hats and like got the ladder, like smoke, it was a lot of fun.
- 38:27SPEAKER_00: Y'all were literally, it was an adult playground to the day.
- 38:31SPEAKER_01: It was so fun.
- 38:32SPEAKER_01: So living there was yeah, amazing.
- 38:34SPEAKER_01: And then when I there was a time where it was like it was just time to go.
- 38:37SPEAKER_01: So I went and went to Tasmania for a rainbow gathering, which is like a month long in the just like outdoors, you know, you're not connected to any yeah, sell service.
- 38:49SPEAKER_01: Were you in like the the outback?
- 38:51SPEAKER_02: It was basically so yeah, you could consider that the outback because you know what's really interesting how Australia like it's very condensed into like one area, yeah, and then there's like the outback, which is like this vast, insane.
- 39:04SPEAKER_02: I know, like only uh like yeah, it's so remote.
- 39:08SPEAKER_02: It is very fascinated by that.
- 39:11SPEAKER_01: It is so cool, but it is yeah, there's a lot of like really wild, untouched areas, um, which I eventually went up to kind of later, you know, a little bit later.
- 39:21SPEAKER_01: But it was right before COVID when we went to Tasmania, and so we're like, yeah, not hearing any information from the outside world, but people would go out to make like supply runs into town and they come back with information of like, oh, like there seems to be this thing going on what they call it, COVID.
- 39:37SPEAKER_01: There seems to be a little something, something's going on.
- 39:40SPEAKER_01: People are talking about something like that word around the street is so we had all this misinformation where people were like, Yeah, like if you're not from Australia, you're getting deported, the rangers are gonna come tomorrow and like deport you kind of thing.
- 39:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're like so you throw from the scene.
- 39:53SPEAKER_00: And it's funny to think about because we were also receiving that misinformation from America.
- 39:59SPEAKER_00: So as her friends from like childhood, we're like, when is Casey coming home?
- 40:04SPEAKER_00: She had a return flight and she didn't make it.
- 40:06SPEAKER_00: So now we're like, when is she gonna come home?
- 40:08SPEAKER_00: Every single like week that COVID was going on, we're like, what about Casey?
- 40:12SPEAKER_00: What about Casey?
- 40:13SPEAKER_00: Like, what's gonna happen to her?
- 40:14SPEAKER_00: And you would hear, like, and for those who like remember, like literally every week in the news during COVID, it would be like, if you are overseas and your home state is somewhere else, like you are getting deported.
- 40:25SPEAKER_00: Like it was literally we were receiving that information too.
- 40:28SPEAKER_00: So we didn't know what was going on with you, but we were like, what if she just shows up one day?
- 40:32SPEAKER_00: Like, what's gonna happen?
- 40:33SPEAKER_00: Like, because we also didn't have contact with you because you only had cell service when you were like connected to Wi-Fi.
- 40:39SPEAKER_01: At that time, I think my phone had been stolen as well.
- 40:41SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so you didn't even have one.
- 40:42SPEAKER_01: No, it was because I texted.
- 40:44SPEAKER_02: I remember it was like maybe your happy, I don't remember if it was your happy birthday text or if it was something else.
- 40:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but it was some it was not you, baby, that was texting me back.
- 40:54SPEAKER_01: I don't remember.
- 40:54SPEAKER_01: Someone's a stranger, I never know.
- 40:56SPEAKER_01: Someone stole I know it was a stranger.
- 41:00SPEAKER_00: So you were in Tasmania.
- 41:01SPEAKER_01: Um, so yeah, we're in Tasmania, felt like the apocalypse, we're sitting like a tent, we're like, we're all like in like a meeting, feeling like I'm in like the walking bed or something.
- 41:08SPEAKER_01: Like, what's going on?
- 41:09SPEAKER_02: Like, what's happening without I can't imagine experiencing COVID though, like in another country away from like civilization.
- 41:15SPEAKER_02: Civilization, all friends and family.
- 41:17SPEAKER_02: It's like that had to be just such a crazy.
- 41:19SPEAKER_01: I just remember being like to the people I'd been traveling with.
- 41:22SPEAKER_01: I was like, I was like, let's all keep going together.
- 41:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 41:25SPEAKER_01: I don't really want to go home because I don't know, like I might as well stay here.
- 41:29SPEAKER_01: And it was a good choice because we ended up finding a woman who had like land and property, and she was like, You guys could literally stay there.
- 41:36SPEAKER_01: Like it was a whole house that she had.
- 41:38SPEAKER_01: So we went to this like very it was more conservative for their realm, but like a conservative mining town where everyone was terrified that we were there.
- 41:46SPEAKER_01: It was like 20 of us living in a three-bedroom home where they were like, Who are you international?
- 41:50SPEAKER_01: Especially in the epic of COVID.
- 41:52SPEAKER_01: They were like, Yeah, yeah, we're scared of you.
- 41:54SPEAKER_01: But eventually they turned a page and like after my little punk.
- 41:59SPEAKER_01: But everyone's kind of started, and that's what it was texting at least.
- 42:04SPEAKER_01: Probably so, probably so I can't read it.
- 42:08SPEAKER_01: But um that's okay.
- 42:09SPEAKER_01: Everyone's really there after a while, like they started um some our front door wouldn't fix it or shut properly.
- 42:15SPEAKER_01: This guy came over and like fixed our front door, he like brought over popcorn and came over in like a suit and tie because we were having like a little cabaret like talent show night where we all were just like we were all performing and stuff, and he came over to like watch us and food and everything.
- 42:32SPEAKER_01: So we just like judged up the house, we painted the walls.
- 42:36SPEAKER_01: Um we were being really silly.
- 42:38SPEAKER_01: We like asked our neighbor if we could like have a sheep a little bit like our grass and like cut it down so we had like sheep that then would escape, that we would have to like hurry back into the yard.
- 42:46SPEAKER_01: So um, and it was on the edge of like a really magical forest as well.
- 42:50SPEAKER_01: So we were just able to like go to the forest and like pick up everything.
- 42:54SPEAKER_01: It was really just community, it was like at the time where like I feel like a lot of people sadly weren't able to have lockdown.
- 43:01SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um just because I mean we really didn't have another choice for like this where we are, we just gotta you know, we don't know what to do because our teacher was not saying that's me.
- 43:09SPEAKER_01: We were supposed to go take the ferry back up to the mainland, but it was like down you had to stay there, so we were kind of stranded until eventually we were able to leave.
- 43:18SPEAKER_01: So we eventually went up and yeah, went back up the coast and then went to like another crazy funny community where it was like a fruit tree jungle, and this old man like ran through this like land and it's like jungle but it really was literally yeah, and there were like crocodiles gonna like pull ourselves across the degree across this river where like crocodiles were like infesting.
- 43:43SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
- 43:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that was a really a fun time.
- 43:47SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I mean, all of it just seems like a whole nother.
- 43:50SPEAKER_00: It's it literally like when I think about like you being there, it's like whoa, like I can imagine how that feels for you to look back and be like, wow, like that was such a it's just cool so cool.
- 44:00SPEAKER_00: That you were able to do that and like experience that.
- 44:02SPEAKER_01: Like I'm I always think about like, yeah, what would I wow, like that would have been crazy for me to actually leave after the five months that I had intended to stay.
- 44:09SPEAKER_01: So I'm so glad that I just took the lead because it was still stuck it out.
- 44:12SPEAKER_01: I was depressed and I was so sad and lonely at the beginning, but I was like, no, like there's gotta be something more for me here.
- 44:16SPEAKER_00: So and there was, and there was, and you still have you have people all around the world that you became friends with who you still like follow on Instagram or whatever, and you have connections with the states who owe you money, who owe me, you know, little things that we could.
- 44:31SPEAKER_00: So there are some people that owe her money, and if you're watching this, well, I'm coming for you.
- 44:35unknown: Coming for this.
- 44:37SPEAKER_02: If you're watching this, pay up.
- 44:39SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
- 44:40SPEAKER_00: So I want to change gears a little bit because we have been recording for a while, and like I feel like people are gonna love this episode because you're so interesting.
- 44:47SPEAKER_00: So we'll have another episode with Casey on where we can get even more stories out because then you have even more adventures in San Francisco and also Puerto Rico.
- 44:55SPEAKER_00: That's true.
- 44:56SPEAKER_00: So there are many, many stories.
- 44:57SPEAKER_00: There are many erases we'll cut in.
- 45:00SPEAKER_00: But I do want to talk about the fact that Casey is like someone I've never met in my life before because there is something that was put on her.
- 45:09SPEAKER_00: I like to think it was like a a witch in the olden days in one of her past lives that cast a crazy love spell.
- 45:16SPEAKER_02: Well, it's a love spell.
- 45:17SPEAKER_02: It's a love spell.
- 45:18SPEAKER_02: So Casey basically attracts like a vampire werewolf type love.
- 45:24SPEAKER_02: She attracts it's she attracts a very intense, a very vampire-esque love.
- 45:33SPEAKER_01: You could say that.
- 45:34SPEAKER_01: You could say that.
- 45:35SPEAKER_00: So a very poetic about it.
- 45:39SPEAKER_00: People will meet Casey, and it's like I've seen it happen probably like five times in person, where someone will see her from across the room.
- 45:48SPEAKER_00: And it's like their whole, like it's literally twilight when when Jacob imprints on Renesse May.
- 45:54SPEAKER_00: Like people be imprinting on Casey like out of nowhere, like everywhere we go.
- 45:59SPEAKER_00: I don't want to.
- 46:00SPEAKER_02: I don't want that.
- 46:01SPEAKER_02: She never asked for it, but like it does happen.
- 46:04SPEAKER_02: Like it does you have it or you don't.
- 46:06SPEAKER_02: And like you either experience this or you don't, and like Casey experiences it, like no one.
- 46:11SPEAKER_02: And it's awesome.
- 46:12SPEAKER_00: It's so funny to watch.
- 46:13SPEAKER_00: Like, for example, one time we were out at a bar and this guy just walks up to her and hands her$20.
- 46:19SPEAKER_00: And a love letter.
- 46:20SPEAKER_00: And a love letter.
- 46:21SPEAKER_00: Yes, and a love letter.
- 46:22SPEAKER_02: When have we ever been handled a love letter IRL?
- 46:25SPEAKER_00: And money.
- 46:25SPEAKER_00: He's like, here you go.
- 46:26SPEAKER_00: Like, literally, he just wanted to be like you're lovely and perfect.
- 46:30SPEAKER_00: And I love that.
- 46:31SPEAKER_01: I should have loved that.
- 46:32SPEAKER_01: But I think we were like, Oh, like, oh, I want to take it.
- 46:35SPEAKER_00: Well, of course we're always playing it.
- 46:37SPEAKER_00: I know.
- 46:38SPEAKER_00: Well, and we had had a few drinks and we took it too far.
- 46:41SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 46:41SPEAKER_01: We took it too far.
- 46:41SPEAKER_01: I should have just accepted the$20 bill and left it at the time.
- 46:44SPEAKER_01: We took it too far.
- 46:44SPEAKER_01: You know, we took it too far as we don't really need.
- 46:46SPEAKER_02: But it's not, it's like people, it's like not even just in this state in this era.
- 46:50SPEAKER_02: It's like your whole life, you've had these like lovers that are like this they linger.
- 46:56SPEAKER_02: It's not like a normal, yeah, a normal attraction.
- 46:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's like this infatuation and like this.
- 47:03SPEAKER_02: Well, exactly.
- 47:05SPEAKER_02: That's what we're saying.
- 47:06SPEAKER_02: Like, it's like it's but it doesn't even matter.
- 47:09SPEAKER_02: It's the principle.
- 47:10SPEAKER_02: It's like you either have stuff like that happen to you or you don't.
- 47:13SPEAKER_02: Like, never in my life have I had those types of situations, but they always find you.
- 47:18SPEAKER_02: Yes, no matter what.
- 47:20SPEAKER_02: No matter what, like those types of like fierce, passionate situations.
- 47:27SPEAKER_02: It could be at work, it could be anywhere, it could be in there.
- 47:30SPEAKER_02: Wait, wait, okay.
- 47:31SPEAKER_00: I need you to tell like your funniest story that you have of like a weird man being like weird.
- 47:36SPEAKER_00: Like my most recent one that I have of you is the guy that wrote the poem after you gave him the tea at work.
- 47:42SPEAKER_00: But I feel like there are so many little instances.
- 47:44SPEAKER_00: The guy that wrote the AI poem.
- 47:46SPEAKER_00: Oh, but there are so many instances where this happens to you.
- 47:50SPEAKER_00: Like, I feel like it's even hard to recall.
- 47:51SPEAKER_00: But like, do you have any like that come top of my well?
- 47:54SPEAKER_00: There's like Ice Cube too, the guy that met you at work, and then we got the I think a lot at work, you're right.
- 47:59SPEAKER_00: It happens a lot, but mind you, she gives no one the time of day.
- 48:03SPEAKER_01: Like, mind you, I've been single for yeah, three years.
- 48:05SPEAKER_01: Like for most of the time, so it's like literally, but I think that's awesome.
- 48:09SPEAKER_01: I'm finding tooth and nail to keep these that's these demons away are because a lot of them it's weird.
- 48:14SPEAKER_01: It's like the ones that I don't really want the attention from.
- 48:18SPEAKER_01: It's like they'll give me a little taste, but then they don't actually want anything.
- 48:22SPEAKER_01: Like this guy at the bar the other night, he after asking for my number and then ghosting me.
- 48:26SPEAKER_01: And Linda said she was walking behind me.
- 48:28SPEAKER_01: So apparently, after I passed and like smiled at him, he was like, Oh, that's crazy.
- 48:31SPEAKER_01: No, what's crazy is you never crazy about me being here.
- 48:36SPEAKER_01: Like, of course I'm here, right?
- 48:38SPEAKER_01: But but then there are people who they are really wanting me, and I'm like, eh and you don't want them.
- 48:42SPEAKER_01: So it's like, why what is this curse?
- 48:44SPEAKER_00: Well, I don't I I don't think it's a curse.
- 48:46SPEAKER_00: I I repeat that.
- 48:48SPEAKER_02: I think it's just something that like you were literally born with.
- 48:52SPEAKER_02: Yes, like it's like ingrained in you.
- 48:54SPEAKER_02: He needs me less.
- 48:55SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 48:56SPEAKER_00: Well, you know what I was saying though to Linda.
- 48:58SPEAKER_00: I said this to Linda the other day.
- 48:59SPEAKER_00: I was like, I wish that I could put a spell on every man who like doesn't want like you for you, who wants to stick around.
- 49:07SPEAKER_00: Like, I wish I could put a spell on them to just leave you alone.
- 49:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and then when you when a guy comes along, you know he's the one.
- 49:12SPEAKER_00: Like, I like I wish that it was like it was that easy.
- 49:16SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 49:16SPEAKER_00: And it you don't have to weed through all the all the bunk ones.
- 49:19SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like the dating scene is genuinely so weird because you guys both meeting your men on hinge, that kind of gave me hope of like really far back where I was like, it's so rare because I was like, Okay, both of my besties met their men on hinge.
- 49:30SPEAKER_01: Like, let me get rid of it.
- 49:31SPEAKER_01: Rare and random.
- 49:32SPEAKER_01: Don't don't let let me just say, yeah, don't waste your time.
- 49:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um, yeah, but okay, so there are meet cubes that you know can happen.
- 49:40SPEAKER_00: But like as a single girl in Oklahoma City who is meeting these men who are like obviously there's something wrong with them.
- 49:47SPEAKER_00: Insane.
- 49:47SPEAKER_00: Like, do you have like you could even tell the story of the guy coming in and telling the TV story?
- 49:52SPEAKER_01: Yeah, tell that, tell that because I'm like, there might be more, but at the top of my head, yeah, this guy came in, I work at a spa, and he was just a patron of the spa.
- 50:01SPEAKER_01: And um, we really only spoke a couple sentences to each other, and he was like cute, but also I think on the phone he even was like, Oh, I'm just in town for today trying to get in for like in the day.
- 50:13SPEAKER_01: Um and then yeah, the sentences that I spoke to him, I was like, Do you want a tea?
- 50:18SPEAKER_01: My favorite is because we had a bunch.
- 50:20SPEAKER_01: I was like, My favorite's a turmeric gender.
- 50:22SPEAKER_01: He said, I said, You want to get that in mind?
- 50:24SPEAKER_01: He's like, Yeah, um after so we go, just find out.
- 50:30SPEAKER_01: Mind you, her job.
- 50:31SPEAKER_01: My it's my job.
- 50:32SPEAKER_01: My day is over.
- 50:33SPEAKER_00: It's her job to ask what kind of tea you would like.
- 50:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and to be friendly.
- 50:37SPEAKER_01: I did give him that tea for free just to be nice, but then he came for me.
- 50:41SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh, he doesn't want to get it, which he said.
- 50:43SPEAKER_01: I said, We'll hide it deep in the episode, right?
- 50:45SPEAKER_01: I said, I gave you that tea.
- 50:47SPEAKER_01: Oh, because he emails me.
- 50:48SPEAKER_01: He emails the company and he's like, Hey, like I saw my receipt.
- 50:52SPEAKER_01: You didn't charge me for the tea.
- 50:54SPEAKER_01: Please charge me for the tea with the card and file.
- 50:56SPEAKER_01: He said, Okay, I will charge that.
- 50:58SPEAKER_01: So sorry I missed that.
- 50:59SPEAKER_01: And then he says on my work email that everyone can see.
- 51:03SPEAKER_01: He said, Is it what did he say?
- 51:05SPEAKER_01: Is it inappropriate or is it like unprofitable?
- 51:08SPEAKER_01: He said, I have it pulled up right here.
- 51:10SPEAKER_00: He said, Would okay, so Casey had said, My bad, thank you for catching that.
- 51:14SPEAKER_00: I'll ring the tea up now.
- 51:15SPEAKER_00: Appreciate you stopping by today, and I hope you have a lovely day.
- 51:18SPEAKER_00: He said, Would it be unprofessional to ask you out over email, considering it professionally, of course, smiley face?
- 51:25SPEAKER_01: I said, Wow.
- 51:26SPEAKER_01: Said, Well, my boss is not gonna love me flirting over the work email.
- 51:31SPEAKER_01: So I did take the liberty of taking his number off of his client profile.
- 51:35SPEAKER_01: Of course, and I did message him, and I was like, eh, like I was I was curious.
- 51:39SPEAKER_01: I was like, well, we'll just see.
- 51:40SPEAKER_01: I said, Hey, you know what?
- 51:41SPEAKER_01: Thank you, blah, blah, blah.
- 51:43SPEAKER_01: But then it was apparent to me.
- 51:45SPEAKER_01: I remembered like, okay, you're only in town literally until tomorrow.
- 51:47SPEAKER_01: So he's like, Are you free tonight?
- 51:48SPEAKER_01: I was like, No, I actually have a hot date with cauliflower wings in my book and bed.
- 51:52SPEAKER_01: And then that's what I wanted to do.
- 51:54SPEAKER_01: See, and that's the type of shit they love.
- 51:56SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 51:56SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they're like, Oh, I didn't even say that.
- 51:58SPEAKER_01: I think I let him know I was like, Oh, I have dinner with my friends, but if it ends early, I'll let you know.
- 52:02SPEAKER_01: That way I could buy myself time and be like, We'll get home and see how I'm feeling.
- 52:06SPEAKER_01: I'm not feeling it.
- 52:06SPEAKER_01: So I told him, like, uh anyway, it was lovely to meet you, save travels, and be on your way.
- 52:11SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it's like, what's the point?
- 52:12SPEAKER_01: You don't even live here.
- 52:14SPEAKER_01: But the next day, he sends me a poem.
- 52:16SPEAKER_01: It was really touchy.
- 52:17SPEAKER_01: I haven't.
- 52:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah, actually, read it for the I haven't.
- 52:20SPEAKER_00: So this is the message he sent before he told her this.
- 52:25SPEAKER_00: I usually write poems about events that meant a little something more to me.
- 52:30SPEAKER_00: I wrote one about meeting you yesterday.
- 52:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the poem is a little bit dramatic, and I swear I'm not overhyping our interaction.
- 52:36SPEAKER_00: Maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't.
- 52:38SPEAKER_00: Or maybe you think I have a giant crush on you.
- 52:40SPEAKER_00: Maybe a little true.
- 52:43SPEAKER_00: Anyways, here it is.
- 52:46SPEAKER_00: Okay, and the title of the poem is Turmeric tea with honey.
- 52:50SPEAKER_00: And how I know this is chat GPT is I work with a lot of people that use it on the rack.
- 52:55SPEAKER_00: And I know you're not going and bolding your text on your own.
- 52:58SPEAKER_00: I know you're not bolding the title in your notes up.
- 53:00SPEAKER_00: I just know that that's not true.
- 53:02SPEAKER_00: I know that you're copying pasting it into your notes up.
- 53:04SPEAKER_01: Everything about that was screaming Cha GPT, which we hate.
- 53:07SPEAKER_00: We hate, we hate chaotic.
- 53:09SPEAKER_00: So turmeric tea with honey.
- 53:11SPEAKER_00: And here's the poem.
- 53:13SPEAKER_00: Her face held all the beauty one could find.
- 53:15SPEAKER_00: Her favorite, turmeric tea.
- 53:18SPEAKER_00: Warm with honey's glow.
- 53:19SPEAKER_00: She gave it free.
- 53:20SPEAKER_02: Mind you, her job to make success.
- 53:22SPEAKER_00: Mind you, her job.
- 53:23SPEAKER_01: My damn job.
- 53:24SPEAKER_01: Mind you, her job.
- 53:25SPEAKER_01: Not going above and beyond at all.
- 53:27SPEAKER_00: She gave it free.
- 53:28SPEAKER_00: Her smile still warm and kind.
- 53:31SPEAKER_00: Time burns, both cruel and kind.
- 53:34SPEAKER_00: There, there.
- 53:35SPEAKER_00: As seasons flow, opposing forces met in heat and cold.
- 53:39SPEAKER_00: Heat.
- 53:40SPEAKER_00: He because he's in a sauna.
- 53:42SPEAKER_01: Well, because really the really uh intentional.
- 53:45SPEAKER_00: I know I'm just gonna like sauna steam and shower sudden chill.
- 53:49SPEAKER_00: An email asked if she might humor me.
- 53:51SPEAKER_00: M dash, mind you, clock that's how you know.
- 53:54SPEAKER_02: Clock that, but I'll defend the m-dash because I use it and I don't I never have used chat GPT.
- 53:59SPEAKER_01: Okay, so there are some of you.
- 54:00SPEAKER_01: You use the M dash the long one?
- 54:02SPEAKER_00: I never use it on an iPhone.
- 54:04SPEAKER_01: I've never even known how to use it.
- 54:05SPEAKER_01: Well, I use it at work.
- 54:07SPEAKER_00: Oh, period.
- 54:07SPEAKER_00: I think they think you a bot.
- 54:10SPEAKER_00: That's okay.
- 54:11SPEAKER_00: I love it.
- 54:12SPEAKER_00: Employee of the year.
- 54:13SPEAKER_01: You're like, I was here before.
- 54:14SPEAKER_01: That's okay.
- 54:15SPEAKER_00: And hey, that's how you want people to see you at work, to be fair.
- 54:18SPEAKER_00: You want to be a bot at work.
- 54:19SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 54:19SPEAKER_00: Um, we oh, sorry, sorry.
- 54:21SPEAKER_00: An email asked if she might humor me.
- 54:23SPEAKER_00: We had just enough time to want to know, but not enough to learn what might what time might hold.
- 54:30SPEAKER_00: None time, none, no time for none of that, but so he went ahead and send that with his full chest to Casey.
- 54:36SPEAKER_01: He did send that.
- 54:37SPEAKER_00: And we clowned his ass.
- 54:38SPEAKER_00: To a real writer, a fake writer to a real writer.
- 54:41SPEAKER_00: Come on now.
- 54:41SPEAKER_01: I said, I can read through you.
- 54:43SPEAKER_00: And we clowned his ass.
- 54:44SPEAKER_00: And we sure did.
- 54:45SPEAKER_01: But you know what I said?
- 54:46SPEAKER_01: Because he told me he was like, I think I I think I cooked.
- 54:49SPEAKER_01: He said something like, I think I cooked with that.
- 54:51SPEAKER_01: I said, Oh I said, Yeah, he didn't say that.
- 54:54SPEAKER_01: I shouldn't even reply, but I was like, oh.
- 54:56SPEAKER_01: Have you heard from him since?
- 54:57SPEAKER_01: No.
- 54:57SPEAKER_01: Well, well, after that, he was like, let me know if you wanna keep talking and like totally understand if not.
- 55:03SPEAKER_01: And I was like, eeyee, like there's nothing.
- 55:05SPEAKER_01: He said, I think I cooked with that.
- 55:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 55:08SPEAKER_01: So what I was saying.
- 55:09SPEAKER_01: I'm disgusted with uh another part of my people pleasing, but I was like, I mean, if we if okay, if that's the worst thing that are doing in this world right now, which is you gotta I wanted to hide.
- 55:20SPEAKER_01: There's nothing wrong with the power.
- 55:21SPEAKER_02: Okay, it's fair.
- 55:22SPEAKER_01: There's nothing there's worse things you could be doing.
- 55:23SPEAKER_02: Well, let me make this clear there's nothing wrong with the poem.
- 55:25SPEAKER_02: I love a poem.
- 55:26SPEAKER_02: I think that's romantic.
- 55:28SPEAKER_02: Romantic things that have made me actually in this scenario, no need for that.
- 55:33SPEAKER_02: Maybe I see right through it.
- 55:34SPEAKER_02: That's not a real poem.
- 55:35SPEAKER_02: That's not a real poem.
- 55:36SPEAKER_01: For well, 59 minutes and two sentences were exchanged.
- 55:40SPEAKER_02: So that was just a little bit but that's just an example of like literally you're just working and like a man writes a poem and she's doing her job, and then a man will be like, What's your number?
- 55:49SPEAKER_00: I need to I need to see you again.
- 55:51SPEAKER_01: I need you, but mind you, it never happens with the ones that I want it to happen.
- 55:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so keep that in mind like it is yeah, unwanted, it's like a weird twisted love spell.
- 56:00SPEAKER_00: It kind of is, but I think that that's also refreshing for maybe our raindrops who are listening who are a little who are like single in in a smaller city like we are and are like trying to figure it out, and maybe they feel like on the flip side of that, like the people that they're interested in, or like just anyone in general, maybe they're not getting bites, like baby the grass is always greener, like it could be some freak in your DMs, like it's always gonna be that one guy in the DMs, like talking to nobody, you know, being like, Hey, hey, you look amazing here.
- 56:27SPEAKER_00: Happy Tuesday, happy Christmas, Merry Christmas to you, and happy Thanksgiving.
- 56:31SPEAKER_00: And they're saying all the shit and they're just talking grand rising, in your DMs, yes, like it the grass is always greener, like you could have random ass people in your DMs, and they're just weird.
- 56:40SPEAKER_00: So, like that's she's a testament of that.
- 56:42SPEAKER_00: Like William, everyone's going through the same shit.
- 56:44SPEAKER_00: The people you don't want, like, or the people you want are it's always gonna be a chase.
- 56:49SPEAKER_00: So strange, it's always gonna be a chase.
- 56:50SPEAKER_00: So odd, but I just love the love spell of it all.
- 56:53SPEAKER_00: I think it's awesome.
- 56:54SPEAKER_02: It's really fun as a as a friend of Casey.
- 56:57SPEAKER_02: It's fun to hear stories and like if anything, I'm see the love spell, you know, to bring that energy to my yeah, take in.
- 57:04SPEAKER_00: And she always reports back, she always reports, and it's really awesome.
- 57:08SPEAKER_02: It is awesome.
- 57:09SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness.
- 57:10SPEAKER_00: Well, we've been talking for a while now, so I think unless there's any other stories you guys want to tell or anything that we're gonna do.
- 57:16SPEAKER_02: No, I don't think any of their stories, but I have a question like for the viewers on behalf of the viewers, like if you did have any advice for somebody who is scared to like venture out or maybe like move away even from their own, like um, like daily routine, or maybe a life that they feel like they're building, but they feel a call to like go elsewhere.
- 57:39SPEAKER_02: Do you have any any specific advice or like words of wisdom of encouragement that you would give to somebody who maybe want to want to venture out or like explore new places?
- 57:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 57:52SPEAKER_01: Well, one of the I don't know what I'll quote me, but there was a quote that I read um kind of recently, but I was like, wow, that's so true.
- 58:00SPEAKER_01: It was something along the lines of like when you make a leap into the unknown, you will find that it's like a bed of feathers away.
- 58:07SPEAKER_01: It was something like that.
- 58:09SPEAKER_01: I love that way.
- 58:10SPEAKER_01: But I was like, that is so true.
- 58:11SPEAKER_01: Like I do feel like the universe is kind of like working alongside us.
- 58:15SPEAKER_01: We're blessed enough to be able to say that.
- 58:17SPEAKER_01: I feel like when you make those moves, you'll be supported.
- 58:20SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 58:21SPEAKER_01: Like it's not like, of course, a leap into the unknown necessary, but I've noticed every time that I have done that, it's literally propelled me into like the best reality that I could have found.
- 58:33SPEAKER_01: So I think, yeah, like if you do have that you know, will and like if you want to make a leap and to make a change in your life, like you will be pleasantly surprised that you'll be rewarded.
- 58:47SPEAKER_01: The universe is working alongside you to support.
- 58:49SPEAKER_01: I love that.
- 58:50SPEAKER_00: It's beautiful, and I love thinking about things.
- 58:52SPEAKER_00: Like, I think that at least the way the my mind works, like anytime I'm up against something that's like change or something different, I'm always thinking, like, what could go wrong?
- 59:00SPEAKER_00: But if you think of things as like there's a bed of feathers awaiting you, like that's in that same vein of being like, okay, but what what if this and this this happens, but what could go right?
- 59:11SPEAKER_00: Like, what if abundance, what if abundance is on the other side, mama?
- 59:15SPEAKER_00: What about that?
- 59:16SPEAKER_00: I love that.
- 59:17SPEAKER_00: That's that's a great piece of advice.
- 59:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I think Casey can be an inspiration for everyone.
- 59:21SPEAKER_02: Like, she definitely is within within our group of like close friends.
- 59:25SPEAKER_02: Like, we're always like, Okay, what would Casey do?
- 59:28SPEAKER_02: Like, like yes, it's just she's constantly an inspiration for us all in like our daily life, even the simplest things.
- 59:36SPEAKER_02: It's like, you know, you think of her willingness to like be open to like any scenario, people, any new people, and it's like something, but you know, lessons are not at I don't think so.
- 59:50SPEAKER_00: I don't think it's I never think it's that fossil.
- 59:52SPEAKER_00: I never think it is because it's like even if you see yourself being like too nice or too open to like especially when it comes to like weird men who are around, like I still think it's like awesome because you're just meeting new people, and like at the end of the day, obviously, like men can be dangerous and all of those things, but like you have such a good head on your shoulders, and it's always like in safe environments when you're meeting these people, it's just like life experiences, like you're like YOLO mentality.
- 1:00:16SPEAKER_00: It is YOLO mentality, you know what?
- 1:00:19SPEAKER_00: YOLO YOLO 2026, we're getting YOLO.
- 1:00:26SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh.
- 1:00:26SPEAKER_00: Well, to close out our episode, then obviously she's she let she's a listener, she knows how this goes.
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_00: We're gonna what are you guys loving right now?
- 1:00:33SPEAKER_00: KC, what are you loving?
- 1:00:34SPEAKER_01: We'll start with you, our guests.
- 1:00:35SPEAKER_01: Okay, so I touched on it a little bit on our little happy hour moment, but I'll say if you've not heard it, but the show that I've really been liking is a little bit of a historical drama, which is great because for me, historical drama.
- 1:00:51SPEAKER_01: But okay, so yeah, it was Yellowstone, which I I've tried to get into, but it was so like it's like it's girthy, it's like a big girthy wait.
- 1:01:00SPEAKER_02: Is Bella Dean in Yellowstone or is she?
- 1:01:03SPEAKER_02: Is that not true?
- 1:01:04SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 1:01:05SPEAKER_02: Maybe she has like a guest appearance because with the like how maybe she just watched that.
- 1:01:09SPEAKER_03: Maybe she did.
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_00: I think she maybe guest appearance.
- 1:01:11SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 1:01:12SPEAKER_00: I can see that.
- 1:01:12SPEAKER_00: We'll not trust it.
- 1:01:13SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 1:01:14SPEAKER_00: What season are you on?
- 1:01:15SPEAKER_00: Are you done?

- 1:01:17SPEAKER_01: I'm on the prequels.
- 1:01:18SPEAKER_01: Oh okay.
- 1:01:21SPEAKER_01: It's like one season each.
- 1:01:23SPEAKER_01: Okay, I'm sorry, like it's so it is tragic.
- 1:01:26SPEAKER_01: Don't be sorry.
- 1:01:28SPEAKER_01: I believe you though.
- 1:01:28SPEAKER_01: I would like to.
- 1:01:29SPEAKER_01: There are equal moments of like beautiful romance in it that just made me like, and I and I kind of always have loved a little bit of like historical fiction, I guess.
- 1:01:38SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:01:38SPEAKER_01: There is a lot of things.
- 1:01:39SPEAKER_01: I was sat for that.
- 1:01:40SPEAKER_01: Like I I've been it was actually last week and when we went out.
- 1:01:43SPEAKER_01: I think I like got home at like 3 a.m.

- 1:01:50SPEAKER_01: I did it.
- 1:01:51SPEAKER_01: And I like that.
- 1:01:53SPEAKER_01: So that those shows I would say I really was enjoying.
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_01: Um, and then also also weirdly for me, because it's been a long time since I've put into like a book series, but this is also kind of like a little like um nerdy.
- 1:02:06SPEAKER_01: But uh a court of Thornton Rose, guys.
- 1:02:09SPEAKER_01: I think we've talked about it.
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_00: My sister has read all of them and she's obsessed.

- 1:02:19SPEAKER_01: So I'm very proud of myself because it's I used to love to read.
- 1:02:21SPEAKER_01: I would read like a book and say, I feel like back when I was little, yes, she was damn phones, you know.
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_01: I just literally kind of feel like these damn phones the ability.
- 1:02:28SPEAKER_01: It always comes back to the it really does.

- 1:02:35SPEAKER_01: Oh, that makes me so happy.
- 1:02:37SPEAKER_01: So it's like it's like slight sexy, it's not even that like crazy.
- 1:02:40SPEAKER_01: It's not it's not super spicy, exactly.
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_01: It's really not.
- 1:02:43SPEAKER_01: People think it is, but there's really only like a small handful of things, yeah.
- 1:02:46SPEAKER_01: But it's like adventure, action, fairy, fantasy, yeah.
- 1:02:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's how it's awesome.
- 1:02:51SPEAKER_01: And I know I I need to read it.
