- 0:45Speaker 2: to talk about, because I certainly didn't. And now all
- 0:48Speaker 2: my kids talk about is you did' neither. You're younger
- 0:50Speaker 2: than me, but actually gets on my nerves a little now,
- 0:53Speaker 2: But we're still going to talk about it. That whole target.
- 0:56Speaker 2: All right, So tell me a little bit about how
- 0:58Speaker 2: you all quote unquote pre back at Michigan State.
- 1:03Speaker 1: I'm assuming that means pre partied, yes, right, and so
- 1:05Speaker 1: you know that's what I call it's a week probably
- 1:07Speaker 1: called it was pre partying, So yeah, I mean, you know,
- 1:10Speaker 1: it would basically be like before you went to a function,
- 1:13Speaker 1: or before you went to a game, or before you
- 1:15Speaker 1: went to I mean when I was living in the
- 1:17Speaker 1: frat house, it was probably before I went to class.
- 1:20Speaker 1: You know, we would just like saddle up and have
- 1:22Speaker 1: a couple of cocktails, turn on some.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Music, get kind of in the in the zone.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I guess, you know, you'd be basically kind of picking
- 1:29Speaker 1: up on you know, getting yourself in the mood to
- 1:31Speaker 1: party a little.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Yeah, And so yeah, I just did it yesterday. I
- 1:35Speaker 3: went to Detroit Lions game.
- 1:36Speaker 1: I invited all my friends to a restaurant that was
- 1:39Speaker 1: right nearby, and I had some clients with me and
- 1:42Speaker 1: some friends, and I'm like, hey, we're pre partying over here,
- 1:43Speaker 1: so come join us partying.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Yeah. I have a hat time saying pregaming too. I
- 1:47Speaker 2: don't know why. I just feel like it's all the
- 1:48Speaker 2: young kids. Well you're a young kid, but so.
- 1:51Speaker 3: I am not. I am not a young kid at all.
- 1:53Speaker 2: How old are you?
- 1:55Speaker 3: Fifty four?
- 1:56Speaker 4: Get that?
- 1:56Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
- 1:58Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:58Speaker 2: What do you know about pregaming? You're old like me?
- 2:01Speaker 3: I pre party.
- 2:02Speaker 2: That's my said, you pre partied four Damn boy.
- 2:06Speaker 3: I think I'm actually older than you.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Probably I'm fifty seven, so I don't think so Okay, yeah,
- 2:10Speaker 2: you look fantastic. Well so do you all? Right back
- 2:13Speaker 2: to the subject at hand, anybody ever get crazy before?
- 2:18Speaker 2: Do you remember any times where you were pregaming pre
- 2:20Speaker 2: partying and no you made it to the actual party
- 2:23Speaker 2: or you didn't.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Oh, I've been that guy.
- 2:25Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think you know, you know,
- 2:27Speaker 1: you can get you can get yourself going a little
- 2:28Speaker 1: bit too much at the pre party and by the
- 2:30Speaker 1: time the actual party begins, you're so you know, you've
- 2:34Speaker 1: you pre partied your way into full on post party.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Yeah, no, totally, you didn't make it to the party, right.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably never missed the party, but I definitely
- 2:45Speaker 1: have had some friends who have, you know, where they
- 2:47Speaker 1: just get all sloppy and you're like, oh, buddy, you
- 2:50Speaker 1: do not want to, you know, put yourself in this
- 2:52Speaker 1: situation right now, you look it out for your friends
- 2:55Speaker 1: when you're pulling them out of the party, right, but.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Especially when you're frat or a sorority, right, Yeah.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't wanted to make a fool themselves, especially
- 3:02Speaker 1: because a girl there that they like or whatever, and
- 3:05Speaker 1: the last thing you wanted to do is make a
- 3:06Speaker 1: full of themselves, and you know, missed the opportunity to
- 3:08Speaker 1: make a good impression.
- 3:09Speaker 2: You're a good you're a good man. Tell me what
- 3:13Speaker 2: music were you listening to? But do you remember? Because
- 3:15Speaker 2: I don't.
- 3:17Speaker 3: I don't remember.
- 3:17Speaker 1: But you know, my musical tastes haven't really changed all
- 3:20Speaker 1: that much from then to now.
- 3:22Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure I had Journey on that. I
- 3:24Speaker 3: always love journey Going and every.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Man after my own heart. Yep, yeah.
- 3:28Speaker 3: I Actually I'm raising my kids to be the same way.
- 3:30Speaker 1: I had a six year old a four year old,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and they really were Yeah, yesterday they're like.
- 3:34Speaker 3: Why is it? Don't stop believing playing? I'm like it will?
- 3:37Speaker 2: I love that is so yeah. I mean, because we're
- 3:40Speaker 2: on the same age, then it's music that could get
- 3:42Speaker 2: you like pumped, right. It was absolutely yeah. It wasn't
- 3:45Speaker 2: the ballads necessarily.
- 3:46Speaker 3: It was a.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Fun era, right, So there was a lot of great
- 3:49Speaker 1: stuff back then. I mean, I don't know if you
- 3:50Speaker 1: were like echoing the Bunny Man and that, but I
- 3:55Speaker 1: got introduced to them in college and they had some
- 3:58Speaker 1: great you know, upbeat, and then I'd mix it in
- 4:01Speaker 1: with my classic rock favorites and put together a fun playlist.
- 4:04Speaker 1: I literally make a playlist for everything. Like when I
- 4:06Speaker 1: go golfing, I'll have a golf playlist. I go boating,
- 4:10Speaker 1: I got a boat playlist. Yeah, that's almost more important
- 4:12Speaker 1: to me. I am that guy. It's all about the
- 4:14Speaker 1: mood to me, and it's more important to me than
- 4:17Speaker 1: than the party itself.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Did you ever meet, speaking of the mood, did you
- 4:20Speaker 2: ever meet like a special woman, a special girl at
- 4:23Speaker 2: a pre party?
- 4:25Speaker 4: Uh?
- 4:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean sure, I'm sure I have.
- 4:27Speaker 2: You can't even remember. There were so many more interested
- 4:32Speaker 2: in your in your playlist. I know, I know, I
- 4:35Speaker 2: get that. Do you miss the chaos and togetherness of
- 4:40Speaker 2: a pregame? I could ask you that question, but you
- 4:42Speaker 2: already told me you're still pregaming yesterday this day.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I just did it yesterday, and so I'm not
- 4:48Speaker 1: missing it today. In fact, I am the opposite of
- 4:50Speaker 1: missing it. I'm regretting it. I get that exhausted, and
- 4:55Speaker 1: I wish that I wouldn't have pregamed. See now, at
- 4:58Speaker 1: my age, the game is the game. The game, yea,
- 5:02Speaker 1: the pregame becomes the game. And then I've also like,
- 5:05Speaker 1: I got to have an espresso martini or five in
- 5:08Speaker 1: there because I need the energy now. Or back in
- 5:10Speaker 1: the day that probably would have put me through the roof.
- 5:12Speaker 1: But now I like to have an espresso martini because
- 5:14Speaker 1: I feel like I can still have a cocktail, but
- 5:16Speaker 1: it gives me a little more energy to give something.
- 5:18Speaker 2: I never drink them, and maybe that's the issue, because
- 5:21Speaker 2: I can't pregame better be at seven pm, because nine
- 5:24Speaker 2: pm I'm headed right into ram I like, I can't.
- 5:28Speaker 3: You should try it.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Espress really good. Yeah, I feel like dessert.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Well I used to. I think they used to be.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Now I feel like they've become a little bit more
- 5:36Speaker 1: of a prime and the pump.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Type of beverage.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Right, what did you.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Say, priming the pump, prime the.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Pump, baby? You are a frat boy. You are still
- 5:45Speaker 2: a frap boy.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so great. I love it. I love it.
- 5:51Speaker 2: So I've questioned, I wonder if you can remember any
- 5:54Speaker 2: of this. Did your pregames ever turn into full blown
- 5:58Speaker 2: emotional therapy? So it's an interesting question. I don't remember
- 6:02Speaker 2: ever getting deep at a free at a pregame. No,
- 6:05Speaker 2: I mean, I'm you know, it was just all about
- 6:07Speaker 2: what boy is here?
- 6:08Speaker 1: We yeah, my buddies were more about let's let's have
- 6:10Speaker 1: some cocktails, let's have some fun. Yeah, it really wasn't that.
- 6:13Speaker 1: That wasn't the time that, don't get me wrong. Later
- 6:15Speaker 1: in life, I wouldn't say a pre a pre party
- 6:18Speaker 1: would turn into that, but you know, later in life,
- 6:20Speaker 1: it's almost like the post party.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Might turn inteah. Right, we're sitting there, you know.
- 6:24Speaker 1: And and for me, you know, my my father just
- 6:26Speaker 1: passed away not too long.
- 6:27Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, literally thank you. I mean it's it's
- 6:30Speaker 3: two years now or three years now.
- 6:31Speaker 1: But my my buddies brought him up last night because
- 6:34Speaker 1: everyone just loved my dad so much, and and that
- 6:37Speaker 1: that was I guess that kind of was a little
- 6:39Speaker 1: bit of an emotional moment at a at a pre party,
- 6:41Speaker 1: but it was a happy emotional moment. It was like,
- 6:44Speaker 1: you know, oh he was the best, wasn't he? Oh man,
- 6:46Speaker 1: we love when we miss him. Let's get back to
- 6:48Speaker 1: our cocktails, you know.
- 6:48Speaker 3: So it was a we.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Paid homage and then we got you know, we got
- 6:52Speaker 1: right back after it.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm getting to the age myself where drinking a
- 6:55Speaker 2: lot is always going to turn into weeping probably, yeah, right,
- 7:01Speaker 2: just getting a stoutied and weeping. It's perfect. That should
- 7:05Speaker 2: be a book. All right, listen, thank you for coming on.
- 7:08Speaker 2: You're a dom what a charmer. You and I have
- 7:11Speaker 2: to pre game sometime soon. I would, but no game.
- 7:14Speaker 2: That's all I can do is a pregame. They were
- 7:16Speaker 2: going to bed.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I like it.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, my friend. Be well, all right,
- 7:36Speaker 2: you guys, guess who we have? We have Mercedes and
- 7:39Speaker 2: Jonathan from the Bachelor. How you guys? Hey, okay, so
- 7:43Speaker 2: you were both in involved a Greek life. So Mercedes,
- 7:47Speaker 2: you went to Iowa State and what sorority were you in?
- 7:50Speaker 2: Delta Zeta Delta Zeta okay. Jonathan you went to Chapman
- 7:53Speaker 2: and you were in Fiji and just for our listeners,
- 7:57Speaker 2: that's five gamma delta right. Okay, Well, listen, we're talking
- 8:02Speaker 2: today about pregaming, and I was talking about Guinea and
- 8:05Speaker 2: I was saying, like, back in the day, we did
- 8:06Speaker 2: not use that term, and now I just if I
- 8:08Speaker 2: hear one more time, it will be one time too many.
- 8:10Speaker 2: But we didn't. We just went out and before we
- 8:13Speaker 2: went to the game. We all just hung out at
- 8:16Speaker 2: the Sami.
- 8:16Speaker 4: House drink before the drinks, I.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Guess, But it wasn't like a thing like you have
- 8:20Speaker 2: to like I feel like, yeah, you have to pregame night.
- 8:23Speaker 5: So sure, it's definitely like okay, so where are we pregaming?
- 8:26Speaker 5: It's like always like it's part of this.
- 8:28Speaker 6: Also postgaming too, there is yes, oh yeah, like the
- 8:32Speaker 6: party is loud and obnoxious, and then you go postgame
- 8:34Speaker 6: where it's like chill and you can have like a nightcap.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Ah. So I would dig that way more than probably
- 8:39Speaker 2: the pregaming or the party. Uh tell me, like what
- 8:42Speaker 2: it was like though in your house Jonathan before I
- 8:46Speaker 2: mean while you were in college, Like what was it?
- 8:48Speaker 6: Uh, well, you always too, and we were talking about
- 8:50Speaker 6: this off camera. Actually is you always pregame the pre
- 8:53Speaker 6: game too, because pregames where you going, you like actually
- 8:55Speaker 6: get to like talk and like mingle with people. So
- 8:57Speaker 6: you want to have a good off a little bit.
- 9:00Speaker 6: So usually when I was getting ready, i'd be in
- 9:01Speaker 6: the shower. I'd have one of the guys just throw
- 9:03Speaker 6: me a drink, and I just have a drink in
- 9:04Speaker 6: the shower.
- 9:04Speaker 4: I'm getting ready for the day.
- 9:05Speaker 2: A little sadly.
- 9:11Speaker 4: Oh yeah, maybe I'll try. You have like a white
- 9:14Speaker 4: claw in the shower.
- 9:15Speaker 2: A white claw in the shower.
- 9:17Speaker 4: You take like a bubble bath, and you have like
- 9:18Speaker 4: a glass of red wine with you. Yeah, but you're
- 9:20Speaker 4: getting ready to shill out.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Yeah, you got an issue about that another time. That's kidding,
- 9:25Speaker 2: just kiddy. What about you, Mercedes?
- 9:28Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like I always stay.
- 9:29Speaker 5: It was very much a party scene, so we were
- 9:31Speaker 5: always pregaming and the same thing. Like the girls would
- 9:34Speaker 5: get together before the actual pregame because when you go
- 9:37Speaker 5: to the bars or like the party or whatever, it's loud,
- 9:39Speaker 5: it's obnoxious, and everyone's just kind of like dancing, vibing
- 9:42Speaker 5: and not really having conversations. Right, So you would take
- 9:44Speaker 5: the edge off with the pre pregame with the girls
- 9:46Speaker 5: and then go with the like the big group of
- 9:49Speaker 5: guys and girls mix, talk whatever, and then go to
- 9:52Speaker 5: the party.
- 9:52Speaker 2: It definitely makes sense because I know it is like
- 9:55Speaker 2: before maybe you hit the party with both sexes. You
- 9:58Speaker 2: do want to like get your flow for sure.
- 10:00Speaker 6: You also don't have the confidence you do as an
- 10:02Speaker 6: adult back in college. You're like, all right, we're going
- 10:04Speaker 6: to talk to girls, take a couple of drinks. You
- 10:06Speaker 6: still don't talk to girls, But.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Do you guys have either one of you have a
- 10:12Speaker 2: signature pre party drink.
- 10:15Speaker 4: Now that I'm older, Espresso martini for sure, to.
- 10:18Speaker 7: Make sure that's just what you just said, that I
- 10:21Speaker 7: drink mine with tequila.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Yeah, spresso martini with tequila.
- 10:25Speaker 7: Yes, game changer, so good. I don't know.
- 10:28Speaker 2: It's okay for all you little ones out there, get
- 10:32Speaker 2: your get your tequila in your espresso martini. What about music, guys,
- 10:36Speaker 2: what any favorites things that you're listening to, like in
- 10:40Speaker 2: college or pregaming, Like, was there just stuff that got
- 10:42Speaker 2: you pumped up?
- 10:43Speaker 5: Mm?
- 10:44Speaker 2: You remember anything?
- 10:45Speaker 7: I'm trying to think of, Like it's probably always.
- 10:48Speaker 6: Rap, honestly, it was either that or like you have
- 10:52Speaker 6: friends that are like into the oldies and they think
- 10:54Speaker 6: it's like really sick, and then you kind of get
- 10:56Speaker 6: on board of that too, Like they'll play like Billy
- 10:58Speaker 6: Joel and everybody's singing along in that's also kind of
- 11:00Speaker 6: a vibe too.
- 11:01Speaker 2: So that's my vibe actually.
- 11:04Speaker 4: Really really old.
- 11:09Speaker 2: It's the truth about country. And this is now I'm
- 11:11Speaker 2: off the topic of pregaming, but you guys, because I
- 11:13Speaker 2: know like now, I feel like a lot of colleges
- 11:14Speaker 2: the kids are listening to country music.
- 11:16Speaker 4: Yeah, I love countries country.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Wow, you guys.
- 11:21Speaker 8: Ever met before?
- 11:22Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 11:23Speaker 4: Like twice?
- 11:24Speaker 2: I like it. What were the nights to go out
- 11:26Speaker 2: at your schools oy Like.
- 11:30Speaker 4: Wednesday through Saturday.
- 11:32Speaker 6: W Wednesdays went to the bars on Thursday, Friday, Saturday
- 11:35Speaker 6: our house parties and then Sunday if you're watching the game,
- 11:38Speaker 6: you can have day drinks.
- 11:39Speaker 4: But then you kind of just chill out.
- 11:40Speaker 3: Got it?
- 11:41Speaker 4: Got it?
- 11:41Speaker 2: What about shots? You guys we fans of shots or
- 11:44Speaker 2: because I know for me that never ended?
- 11:46Speaker 4: Well, yeah, shots yourself? Like shots?
- 11:50Speaker 6: It was like you take poles, Yes, you just take
- 11:53Speaker 6: the bottle and you just take a poll.
- 11:55Speaker 2: From So everything has to have a new name.
- 11:58Speaker 5: So what we did going out, we would take water
- 12:01Speaker 5: bottles like plastic water bottles and fill it up with
- 12:04Speaker 5: vodka and we would take that into the party and
- 12:06Speaker 5: just yeah, just take poles.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Out of it. I mean crazy sexual. So now you're
- 12:10Speaker 2: taking a pole that's.
- 12:12Speaker 5: The world into literally And also if I did that,
- 12:15Speaker 5: now I look back on that time of my life,
- 12:17Speaker 5: I'm like, how the hell did I survive? Like I
- 12:20Speaker 5: if I did that now, I would be like not okay,
- 12:23Speaker 5: the next day I would be on my deathbed.
- 12:25Speaker 6: I will say most subtle flex ever ill yet have
- 12:28Speaker 6: a hangover.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Ever, you've never had a hangover in the shower. Still,
- 12:34Speaker 2: Maybe that's the key.
- 12:35Speaker 7: Maybe it's the key. The shower is the key.
- 12:37Speaker 4: I don't know what's wrong over. I don't know how
- 12:38Speaker 4: it's even possible.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Amazing, that's something to be proud of me. That is.
- 12:42Speaker 4: Yeah, do you guys, I don't really drink that much?
- 12:45Speaker 2: All right? Yeah, so you guys are starting with the
- 12:48Speaker 2: white claw. But do you ever like you ever hear
- 12:50Speaker 2: liquor before in the clear? So do you ever follow
- 12:57Speaker 2: those rules?
- 12:58Speaker 1: No?
- 12:59Speaker 5: I'm like such like I feel like I start with
- 13:02Speaker 5: like espresso martinis now, and then like I might have
- 13:05Speaker 5: like a glass of wine, and then we'll go into
- 13:07Speaker 5: like liquor and then maybe a beard a bend, which is.

- 14:26Speaker 2: in you guys, of course enjoy all right, guys. So
- 14:44Speaker 2: now I'm joined by yet another Beauty High Charity lass in.
- 14:48Speaker 8: Hello.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Hi, So you went to Auburn What.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Were you in?
- 14:53Speaker 8: I was a Sigma Kappa?
- 14:55Speaker 2: Very nice? And did they pregame back at at Auburn
- 14:58Speaker 2: University when you were saying MC kappa?
- 15:01Speaker 8: Oh, I fear we got down?
- 15:02Speaker 1: He did?
- 15:03Speaker 2: I want to hear. I want to hear what did
- 15:06Speaker 2: that look like for you guys back in the day.
- 15:08Speaker 9: Honestly, I'm like, I'm so grateful because I'm like, I
- 15:11Speaker 9: feel like I went to college during like the prime
- 15:13Speaker 9: years where like pregaming and like parties before like going
- 15:16Speaker 9: out to bars were like super huge, right, and so
- 15:19Speaker 9: everything that we did like always required like a pre game.
- 15:23Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:24Speaker 2: No, it's funny, yeah, because I was talking earlier to
- 15:27Speaker 2: you know, Bob Guinea also from that so he and I.
- 15:30Speaker 2: He's a little bit older, not as old as me.
- 15:32Speaker 2: But this is like a new term for us pregaming,
- 15:35Speaker 2: and now it's like all I ever hear. Yeah, no, one,
- 15:38Speaker 2: we sometimes had a few drinks before the party, but
- 15:40Speaker 2: now it's official, like you have to have a pregame, right.
- 15:43Speaker 9: It's always like a little pre party before the function
- 15:46Speaker 9: even really begins. And that's why it's very like the
- 15:49Speaker 9: whole word pacing yourself that that.
- 15:51Speaker 8: Came from pregames.
- 15:52Speaker 9: Really like you don't yeah, like you don't really want
- 15:54Speaker 9: to get too crazy until you get to the party.
- 15:57Speaker 8: So it's like it's all like a system.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Wow, So were you good at that pacing yourself?
- 16:02Speaker 3: Oh?
- 16:02Speaker 8: I mean I learned even start starting off.
- 16:07Speaker 9: Yeah, as a as a freshman sophomore, you're you're easing
- 16:10Speaker 9: yourself into it.
- 16:11Speaker 8: But yeah, I got I got the hang of it
- 16:13Speaker 8: pretty quick.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Well, tell us how do you how do you paste
- 16:15Speaker 2: yourself at a pregame?
- 16:17Speaker 9: I mean for me, I'm someone who's like very small,
- 16:20Speaker 9: and so it's like you really like I I knew
- 16:23Speaker 9: the type of drinks that I wanted to have. I
- 16:25Speaker 9: it was very like like particular about like not letting
- 16:29Speaker 9: other people like obviously fix my drinks.
- 16:31Speaker 8: It's just safety measures.
- 16:32Speaker 9: But also it's like you just you know, you have
- 16:35Speaker 9: to like keep tabs of like okay, how much you
- 16:37Speaker 9: know alcohol you might be for taking a long night.
- 16:40Speaker 8: It's a long night.
- 16:42Speaker 9: So would start off always like you know, you come
- 16:44Speaker 9: in with one drink and then usually like a couple
- 16:47Speaker 9: I don't want to say a couple of minutes, like
- 16:48Speaker 9: usually thirty minutes in, like you should be on your
- 16:51Speaker 9: second drink, and then obviously, like there's always shots, so
- 16:54Speaker 9: you have to like that's when it really gets tricky
- 16:56Speaker 9: because I'm like, at that point, it's like you've got
- 16:58Speaker 9: to keep tabs of how many shots you've taken, Charity.
- 17:01Speaker 2: I feel like you should write this down, like this
- 17:04Speaker 2: should be in a handbook somewhere, because so far we
- 17:06Speaker 2: talked to quite a few people. Nobody had these instructions
- 17:09Speaker 2: for us. I love it. They have a lot of people,
- 17:12Speaker 2: a lot of mess.
- 17:13Speaker 9: No, exactly right, it really it's it really is a system,
- 17:16Speaker 9: I'm telling you. But like you know, you have the
- 17:18Speaker 9: nights where some nights you just like you know, you
- 17:20Speaker 9: get two carried away, but you learn I'm telling it.
- 17:22Speaker 9: At least I learned my lesson the following morning, right,
- 17:25Speaker 9: I don't ever want to do this again.
- 17:26Speaker 2: So, yeah, I heard a lot of we had a
- 17:28Speaker 2: lot of our guests say espresso martinis are the answer.
- 17:31Speaker 8: Honestly for me.
- 17:33Speaker 9: Yeah, because people say, like obviously it's like the espresso
- 17:36Speaker 9: that keeps you up. But I I like, I do
- 17:39Speaker 9: it when I start to get sleepy, which is probably bad,
- 17:42Speaker 9: but I'm like, that's like, that's the only time I
- 17:44Speaker 9: drink espresso Martinis.
- 17:45Speaker 8: I never I never start off with them.
- 17:47Speaker 9: I only do it when I'm like, oh, like I
- 17:49Speaker 9: still have maybe like an hour or two left in
- 17:51Speaker 9: the night and I need, like I need to perk
- 17:53Speaker 9: me up.
- 17:54Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what I do it.
- 17:55Speaker 9: But I mean they're great. It's a great drink all around.
- 17:58Speaker 9: Yeah for me, I'm I'm I'm a little bit opposite
- 18:00Speaker 9: on that.
- 18:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:01Speaker 2: No, I never did that either. We didn't. We didn't
- 18:03Speaker 2: have things like that back in my day. Or like
- 18:06Speaker 2: red Bull and vodka? Do you do that? Is that
- 18:08Speaker 2: what you drink it with? You drink it with vodka?
- 18:10Speaker 2: Red Bull?
- 18:10Speaker 8: I hated it. I'll be honest. It's not my I mean,
- 18:13Speaker 8: it's not my it's not my cup.
- 18:15Speaker 2: So well, okay, so tell me if you can, Like
- 18:18Speaker 2: when you were pregaming in college, like any particular kind
- 18:21Speaker 2: of music you guys were into.
- 18:23Speaker 9: Oh my gosh, it was like that was like the
- 18:25Speaker 9: prime Like I feel like, I mean, it's crazy because
- 18:28Speaker 9: I'm like a lot of the artists that was like
- 18:29Speaker 9: really popular then and I feel like has kind of
- 18:32Speaker 9: fallen off a little bit. But like Travis Scott, like
- 18:35Speaker 9: that was like such the era that everybody like, right,
- 18:38Speaker 9: love Travis Scott, Like every time you go to a pregame,
- 18:41Speaker 9: like one of his songs are playing. He was just
- 18:43Speaker 9: really huge between I mean I was in college from
- 18:46Speaker 9: twenty fifteen to twenty eight, twenty nineteen, so like during
- 18:50Speaker 9: that time, yeah.
- 18:51Speaker 8: Like it was just huge.
- 18:54Speaker 9: I wasn't really big as big into like EDM or
- 18:57Speaker 9: house music then, but like it was starting to up
- 19:00Speaker 9: and it was becoming a little bit popular then too,
- 19:03Speaker 9: So that's kind of when I got like my start
- 19:05Speaker 9: of listening to that type of genre of music. But honestly,
- 19:08Speaker 9: you just want something that's like obviously going to keep correct.
- 19:12Speaker 9: Like it was very loud, but like very just like
- 19:14Speaker 9: you know, a good beat is all you need.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Do you feel like the pregames were sometimes more fun
- 19:19Speaker 2: than the actual game. I don't mean a football game
- 19:21Speaker 2: or about but I'm just saying, like whatever party, yeah.
- 19:25Speaker 9: Oh yes, Well I went to Auburn, so and like
- 19:27Speaker 9: at the time when I was there, we only had
- 19:30Speaker 9: like it's such a big school and a big like
- 19:32Speaker 9: college well college campus. But in terms of like the
- 19:35Speaker 9: like nightlife and like social life of it, it's like, yes,
- 19:39Speaker 9: there are sororities, there were fraternities, but like going out
- 19:42Speaker 9: to bars and stuff, we didn't have many options. We
- 19:45Speaker 9: had like maybe a total of like five bars like that,
- 19:47Speaker 9: and like at some point you.
- 19:49Speaker 8: Like eventually rotate through all of them.
- 19:51Speaker 9: So it's like, yeah, people just got we had to
- 19:53Speaker 9: be creative and like house parties or just like pregames
- 19:56Speaker 9: became the thing, right, and usually like after a football
- 19:59Speaker 9: game or something, depending on the time.
- 20:01Speaker 8: We always like played football.
- 20:02Speaker 9: Our like slots were like earlier in the day and
- 20:04Speaker 9: that worked out so if you had like a three
- 20:06Speaker 9: thirty game, we would then like go back home, and
- 20:09Speaker 9: like most people were like okay, like we might go out.
- 20:11Speaker 9: But it's like there was always like a little flyer
- 20:13Speaker 9: going around of like, oh, we're having like a.
- 20:15Speaker 8: Party a pre game. Sometimes sometimes we called it kickbacks.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Just like relax and chill beforehand.
- 20:21Speaker 9: Right right, it's like a more like chill term for
- 20:23Speaker 9: like it's still a party, but it's like we're just
- 20:25Speaker 9: gonna be vibing it out and see where the night
- 20:27Speaker 9: takes us.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Ye right right, we're trying to get specific with uh
- 20:30Speaker 2: with our guests today just for fun, But like, did
- 20:32Speaker 2: you have a signature pregaming drink?
- 20:36Speaker 8: I was a big at the time during college, was
- 20:38Speaker 8: a big vodka girl.
- 20:40Speaker 9: So anything with vodka usually, Like I learned early on
- 20:44Speaker 9: too that I just I mean, for me, it works
- 20:47Speaker 9: quicker just taking shot. Yeah, so I was less of
- 20:50Speaker 9: like a mixing girls, like just give a shot, let's go.
- 20:53Speaker 9: And yeah, so I was a big vaca girl until
- 20:55Speaker 9: I had just not a great experience and then.
- 21:00Speaker 2: Tell me about it? What was it? Not great experience?
- 21:04Speaker 8: It always happens.
- 21:05Speaker 9: I mean everyone goes through like their experimental journey of
- 21:08Speaker 9: like you know, liquor.
- 21:09Speaker 8: In college. For me, it was vodka, and I remember.
- 21:13Speaker 9: Oh my gosh, it was I think it was one
- 21:15Speaker 9: semi formal I had and I I.
- 21:18Speaker 8: Don't know what I was on.
- 21:19Speaker 9: I was feeling like really bold and I was like, yeah,
- 21:22Speaker 9: I can conquer the world.
- 21:23Speaker 8: I can anything.
- 21:24Speaker 9: And I had I mean, if I say the number,
- 21:26Speaker 9: everyone's gonna be like, yeah, no, you need to like
- 21:27Speaker 9: be hospitalized.
- 21:28Speaker 8: I say it, but I have no It's crazy.
- 21:31Speaker 2: I all have that number twelve shots.
- 21:34Speaker 9: No, twelve shots before my semi formal, And I was like,
- 21:37Speaker 9: I don't even think I like kept count. But that's
- 21:39Speaker 9: what like my friends were saying. I ended up going
- 21:41Speaker 9: to the semi formal.
- 21:43Speaker 2: You were still able to make it?
- 21:44Speaker 8: Damn girl, No, I know, but I listen.
- 21:47Speaker 9: I crashed very early once we got there because we
- 21:49Speaker 9: rode on the back of like one of the guys
- 21:52Speaker 9: that was driving his like pickup truck that's also not legal.
- 21:56Speaker 8: Godless.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Right after twelve shots, I a little bit want to
- 22:00Speaker 2: puke right now, go on exactly.
- 22:02Speaker 8: So I think it was the car ride.
- 22:04Speaker 2: For sure, for sure, but go on.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Yes.
- 22:09Speaker 9: So I got to semi formal and I was like, no,
- 22:13Speaker 9: I need to go the bathroom. And like my best
- 22:14Speaker 9: friend at the time, she like came with me, and
- 22:17Speaker 9: of course, you know, held your hair, Yes, held my hair.
- 22:22Speaker 9: I did the solid rusty hook is what we called it.
- 22:25Speaker 9: So I just had to, like, I was like, I need,
- 22:26Speaker 9: I need to get this out of my system.
- 22:27Speaker 7: I'm learning.
- 22:28Speaker 2: Wait, I'm learning so many good terms. What's rusty hook?
- 22:31Speaker 2: Just puking in a toilet?
- 22:33Speaker 8: Yes, but sometimes you have to like kind of help you.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Jump put your finger down. Yeah, I get the honk part.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Why is it rusty?
- 22:43Speaker 9: I don't know, because it's like no one wants to
- 22:45Speaker 9: do that, you shouldn't.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right, okay, And did you still have a night?
- 22:52Speaker 8: No? I did not. Yeah, I was done.
- 22:55Speaker 9: I was like, no, I'm going back home, which really
- 22:57Speaker 9: sucked because my date was really sweet.
- 22:58Speaker 8: He was like, do you want me to come back
- 22:59Speaker 8: with you? And I was like no. I was like no,
- 23:01Speaker 8: please have the.
- 23:01Speaker 9: Time of your life. I'm going to go lay on
- 23:03Speaker 9: my couch. And so my friend she took me back home,
- 23:06Speaker 9: and then after semi forma, they all I came and
- 23:09Speaker 9: check on me. It was I had great people in
- 23:11Speaker 9: my corner, but I just was like after that, I
- 23:12Speaker 9: was like, no, I don't know what I was on.
- 23:15Speaker 8: I was doing too much. I was feeling too like.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Listen, you are not alone. I want to say that
- 23:20Speaker 2: everybody who we've spoken to has actually, you know, been there,
- 23:24Speaker 2: done that, including yours. Truly, thank you very much. So
- 23:26Speaker 2: do you still pregame?
- 23:29Speaker 8: Definitely? Way less?
- 23:31Speaker 9: Yeah, it depends like if I'm with like a good
- 23:34Speaker 9: group of friends, like we were just at Zach and
- 23:38Speaker 9: Katie's wedding. Two weekends ago in Austin, and we had
- 23:41Speaker 9: like a bunch of people with us. So yeah, like,
- 23:44Speaker 9: if it's a social setting that requires that, we'll usually
- 23:47Speaker 9: keep it very cute and mild. But yeah, a pregame
- 23:49Speaker 9: is always nice just to jump start the night.
- 23:52Speaker 2: But wait a second. Zach and Katie were on with
- 23:54Speaker 2: us just a little while ago. They are adorable. Oh yeah,
- 23:58Speaker 2: and they said they had only very few people at
- 24:00Speaker 2: their wedding. You guys must be very close.
- 24:02Speaker 8: Yeah they invited.
- 24:04Speaker 9: Yeah, so it was a few girls from our season
- 24:08Speaker 9: because we were all in Zach's season, and then Joey
- 24:12Speaker 9: and Kelsey were there, and I'm trying to think other
- 24:14Speaker 9: couples like Susie was also there.
- 24:16Speaker 8: So it was just like a good bland but it
- 24:17Speaker 8: wasn't a bunch of bachelor.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Yeah that's what they were saying. I love that.
- 24:21Speaker 8: Yeah, it was really sweet.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sorry because this is all subject but how
- 24:25Speaker 2: close did you get were your runner up? How close
- 24:27Speaker 2: did you get to Zach?

- 24:31Speaker 9: it to hometowns and then I got the boot after home.

- 24:36Speaker 2: each other and being friends so great.
- 24:37Speaker 8: Oh, we had such a good group of girls. I'm like,
