3:39
SPEAKER_01: I love it.
3:40
SPEAKER_01: And I look over and I see this beautiful woman with sunglasses on, and it is the one and only Lisa Barlow of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
3:48
SPEAKER_01: I'm like not okay.
3:50
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I was like, whoa.
3:52
SPEAKER_01: And I was flying first class on this flight, and I knew that she would too, because we know that she does not sit anywhere other than first class.
3:59
SPEAKER_01: And here's the other thing, too.
4:00
SPEAKER_01: As I say this whole entire story, I would like to say one thing.
4:03
SPEAKER_01: I'm like a cool person.
4:04
SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm not gonna like meet a celebrity and then like spill everything.
4:06
SPEAKER_01: The reason why I'm going to share this story is because this woman gets obviously there's people who are mean to her and they have negative things to say about her.
4:13
SPEAKER_01: And I want everyone to know how she treats somebody who is, as of right now, a nobody.
4:17
SPEAKER_02: As of right now.
4:18
SPEAKER_01: As of right now.
4:19
SPEAKER_01: So I'm getting on the flight, I sit in my first class seat, and the seat next to me is open.
4:23
SPEAKER_01: And I literally pray, I was like, God, let this be Lisa Barlow's seat.
4:28
SPEAKER_01: Then this woman with a very round hat, like the worship leader type hats, sits down next to me, and I was so mad at her.
4:35
SPEAKER_02: That reminds me of have you seen the Drake and Josh movie?
4:37
SPEAKER_02: Drag and Josh goes to Hollywood and they get seated by this big passenger in the middle.
4:42
SPEAKER_01: Oh, and isn't he eating like fried chicken or something?
4:44
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
4:44
SPEAKER_02: I love that.
4:45

4:49
SPEAKER_01: Okay, the man.
4:50
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yes, the man and the woman.
4:51
SPEAKER_02: Yes.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
4:52
SPEAKER_02: That was your flight.
4:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
4:53
SPEAKER_01: So this woman sits next to me, I'm like so mad.
4:55
SPEAKER_01: Then Lisa Barlow comes on and sits down.
4:58
SPEAKER_01: Or no, before she sits down, I'm putting away my bag.
5:00
SPEAKER_01: She says to me, and I said, Hey, not to be weird, but I do love you.
5:03
SPEAKER_01: And she's like, I love you, Toe.
5:05
SPEAKER_02: She's so sweet.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: So she sits down, she sleeps the whole flight, which I was like, I love that.
5:09
SPEAKER_02: Did she have a mask?
5:11
SPEAKER_01: Uh no.
5:12
SPEAKER_01: So then I'm getting off the flight.
5:15
SPEAKER_01: We both stand up and we're talking as we're exiting the flight.
5:18
SPEAKER_01: I have to get my bag out of the thing.
5:20
SPEAKER_01: So she walks out, and I was like, that's the last time I've seen Lisa Barlow.
5:23
SPEAKER_01: No.
5:24
SPEAKER_01: Not with somebody as kind as an and as intentional as Lisa Barlow.
5:29
SPEAKER_01: Oh my goodness.
5:30
SPEAKER_01: I walk off the flight.
5:30
SPEAKER_01: She's waiting for me.
5:32
SPEAKER_01: And here's the thing: this is a busy, rich, famous woman.

SPEAKER_01: And that's my truth serum.
12:34
SPEAKER_01: We should normalize ending a sentence whenever you want.
12:39
SPEAKER_01: There are so many times I'm talking, and by the time I haven't even reached the predicate, I have not even reached the verb, and I'm like, this sentence has gotta be wrapped up.
12:49
SPEAKER_01: And like, why try to tie it?
12:51
SPEAKER_02: Just I love the I love the example and how everyone in the room like accepted that it was done.
12:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's just so many times where I'm just like Oh my gosh.
13:02
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
13:04
SPEAKER_01: And I don't owe you anything.
13:05
SPEAKER_01: I don't owe you the predicate.
13:06
SPEAKER_02: When I hear you stop talking, I'm just like, yeah.
13:09
SPEAKER_02: I don't owe you the prepositional phrase.
13:11
SPEAKER_02: I was I was waiting.
13:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I just like there's times where I'm listening to somebody and they're talking, and I just want to look at them and I'm gonna say, Hey, I give you full permission to just wrap it up.
13:19
SPEAKER_01: You don't have to end it.
13:20
SPEAKER_01: Just like you don't have to like finish it perfectly, just like stop speaking.
13:23
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then yeah, like your words are rolling quick and there's not a lot of meaning here, just drop it.
13:28

13:35
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01: I feel like we would save a lot of time and energy if we just brought back fragments.
13:40
SPEAKER_02: That's and that's something you have taught me years ago, and I'm so glad I just stopped.
13:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.

14:00
SPEAKER_01: You literally do not owe anyone anything.
14:02
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
14:03
SPEAKER_02: Bring back your fragment, right?
14:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, bring back the fragment.

16:20
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
16:21
SPEAKER_02: So that's that.
16:23
SPEAKER_02: And I think too with this, I'm going to transition into a quick story of just I've always like, even just growing up, like throughout college, I would want my core best friend group from high school.
16:36
SPEAKER_02: I would meet all of their college best friends.
16:39
SPEAKER_02: I would go up.
16:40
SPEAKER_02: Um, and today I'm gonna be talking about Alexis.
16:42
SPEAKER_02: Um, she went to school in Edmund, and I would go up and Alexis is my fave.
16:47
SPEAKER_02: I love her.
16:47
SPEAKER_02: I love her.
16:48
SPEAKER_01: So she should be president.
16:49
SPEAKER_02: She really should.
16:50
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
16:50
SPEAKER_02: So I went up to her house one time.
16:53
SPEAKER_02: Um, I went to this awards dinner.
16:55
SPEAKER_02: This was like after we graduated, and one of her friends from college was going to be staying the night because she had a job that she worked in Tulsa, she had a job in Oklahoma City that she would go to and had to spend the night once a week.
17:06
SPEAKER_02: Long backstory.
17:07
SPEAKER_02: But she was there, and um, she's like, Hey, I hope you don't mind.
17:11
SPEAKER_02: Like, um, Michaela's already going to be here.
17:14
SPEAKER_02: Um, you can still come.
17:16
SPEAKER_02: And anyway, so I come.
17:19
SPEAKER_02: Um, I'm like frazzled that I have this huge box of stuff.
17:22
SPEAKER_02: Dom talked in the last podcast of like, I can't just, I wish there could be a shot to like my bags.
17:27
SPEAKER_02: I my 10 bags in this room right now.
17:29
SPEAKER_02: I can never just come with like one light.
17:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
17:33
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
17:33
SPEAKER_02: So this time, since I was going to an awards dinner, I came with a suitcase.
17:38
SPEAKER_02: I came with like six Walmart sacks, and I came with this huge clear tub, like the starlight from Walmart.
17:45
SPEAKER_02: It was a huge clear tub filled to the brim with every shirt I've ever owned.
17:48
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
17:49
SPEAKER_02: Because I'm just like, okay, this awards dinner, like I don't know what to wear.
17:52
SPEAKER_02: I brought like 18 pantsuits, like, okay.
17:55
SPEAKER_02: So I unload my baggage to Alexis' house, and she just got a dog named Milo.
18:02
SPEAKER_02: And Milo is a great little dog, whatever.
18:04
SPEAKER_02: He's like a little Chihuahua mix.
18:07
SPEAKER_02: And I come through this door with this box carrying like this, and I come through the door, and Milo starts barking in my face.
18:18
SPEAKER_02: He's nipping out my legs, like barking, attacking me, because he thinks he's like, Why is this big box like coming in the door?
18:24
SPEAKER_02: I was like offended already.
18:26
SPEAKER_02: And so I sat down this box.
18:28
SPEAKER_02: Um, long story short, um, I give hugs, whatever.
18:32
SPEAKER_02: And I sit on the couch.
18:34
SPEAKER_02: This story's gonna make sense.
18:36
SPEAKER_02: I sit on the couch and I started getting a little whiff of something.
18:41
SPEAKER_01: A sit smell?
18:42
SPEAKER_02: A sit smell.
18:43
SPEAKER_02: I started getting a little whiff of something.
18:44
SPEAKER_02: And here's me on one side of the couch, like the dogs now in the other room, like settling down because he was so angry about this box, okay?
18:52
SPEAKER_02: Michaela, Alexis' friend from college, was on the other side of the couch.
18:57
SPEAKER_02: And I kept increasingly getting this smell where I'm just like, wow.
19:02
SPEAKER_02: Like you stink.
19:04
SPEAKER_02: Like I thought As in you or her.
19:07
SPEAKER_02: Her.
19:07
SPEAKER_01: Oh, so you didn't think it was your own sit smell.
19:09
SPEAKER_02: I didn't think it was my own sit smell.
19:11
SPEAKER_02: I looked over and I was getting increasingly angry.
19:14
SPEAKER_01: When you see a person and you smell something, you can just associate the smell to them.
19:17
SPEAKER_01: And for me, I associate that smell to a person for a year.
19:20
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
19:21
SPEAKER_01: If you have bad breath once, if you fart around me once, it oh, you're 12 months now, you're in stink gel.
19:26
SPEAKER_02: So I was on the couch and I was getting increasingly angry, and I was just like, oh my gosh, like, like, but you stink, like I was just so mad.
19:34
SPEAKER_02: And so I kept being like, like smelling, sniffing around and be like, hey, like, there's like a little smell.
19:39
SPEAKER_02: And this was the worst smell I've ever smelled.
19:41
SPEAKER_02: It was the most putrid, like fishy, like awful, like oil-based smell.
19:45
SPEAKER_02: It was like awful, okay.
19:47
SPEAKER_02: And then I started texting Alexis, which I felt bad about.
19:50
SPEAKER_02: I said, Hey, I don't know how to address it, but your friend stinks.
19:54
SPEAKER_02: I was just like, hey, I'm I've always tried to like integrate friends.
19:56
SPEAKER_02: I'm just like, I'm about to cut off you and your friend right now.
19:59
SPEAKER_02: Like, honestly, I'm just like the fact that you didn't confront her on the smell, like I'm getting upset.
20:06
SPEAKER_02: Meanwhile, guys, Michaela was sniffing around, texting Alexis the same thing.
20:12
SPEAKER_02: About you, about me.
20:13
SPEAKER_02: Hey, as soon as Lauren sat down, I smelled mare.
20:16
SPEAKER_02: I smelled as soon as she smelled that I sat sat down, she brought in the most insane odor of her life into this room.
20:26
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
20:27
SPEAKER_02: So she was texting me, she's like, I don't know how to address it.
20:29
SPEAKER_02: Alexis.
20:32
SPEAKER_02: No, exactly.
20:32
SPEAKER_02: She was in the room with Milo, like settling down, and she was just like nervous because she was getting text in from like both of us.
20:39
SPEAKER_02: And Alexis comes out and starts sniffing around, like trying to play it cool because she didn't want to cause conflict between her two friends.
20:46
SPEAKER_01: Between the two stinks.
20:47
SPEAKER_02: Okay, stink on the right, stink on the left, stink in the middle.
20:50
SPEAKER_02: She comes out and she's like, oh my gosh, like there's a smell.
20:54
SPEAKER_02: Like, Lauren, do you think it's the containers you brought in?
20:57
SPEAKER_02: Like she's trying to like blame my clothes.
20:59
SPEAKER_02: Um meanwhile, when this is what happened was when I came in the door with this big box, Milo had in sorry, this is kind of gross, an anal gland expression and sprayed all over the couch because of my bags.
21:17
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
21:18
SPEAKER_02: Like he like No, it just like it was this secrete, like whatever.
21:21
SPEAKER_02: He sprayed like all over the couch.
21:22
SPEAKER_02: Oh, you don't know what it was.
21:23
SPEAKER_02: I don't know what it was.

21:35
SPEAKER_01: Did you become friends at stinky?
21:37
SPEAKER_01: So at the end.
21:39
SPEAKER_01: The issue with me though is I would still associate it to that person.
21:43
SPEAKER_01: That's my problem.
21:52
SPEAKER_02: This smell.
21:53
SPEAKER_02: I just need to let you know.
21:54
SPEAKER_02: And she's like, I smell it too.
21:55
SPEAKER_02: She's like, I thought it was you.
21:56
SPEAKER_02: And I was like, I thought it was you.
21:58
SPEAKER_02: And then she realized it was my.
22:00
SPEAKER_02: Milo after like Alexis realized.
22:02
SPEAKER_02: But anyway, be friends with your friends' friends.
22:04
SPEAKER_02: That was almost a day where I was about to no.
22:07

29:15
SPEAKER_02: Honestly, by me.
29:17
SPEAKER_01: Um the next one.
29:21
SPEAKER_01: Sorry, y'all.
29:22
SPEAKER_01: The next one, Love Island winners revealed.
29:25
SPEAKER_01: America chooses its favorite couple, Bryce and Trinity.
29:29
SPEAKER_02: Woo!
29:30
SPEAKER_01: I don't wear who any of those people are.
29:32
SPEAKER_02: I don't wear.
29:33
SPEAKER_02: I don't watch.
29:34
SPEAKER_01: Um they were just clearly the couple from the beginning.
29:36
SPEAKER_01: I will just say this.
29:37
SPEAKER_01: This was literally the worst season of Love Island I've ever seen.
29:40
SPEAKER_01: Really?
29:40
SPEAKER_01: With my eyes.
29:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
29:41
SPEAKER_01: And I know we all say that like every season, but this was genuinely horrible.
29:45
SPEAKER_01: No one is is memorable.
29:47
SPEAKER_01: Bryce and Trinity are are I I genuinely like them together.
29:50
SPEAKER_01: And the Bryce and Zach friendship, I think, was entertaining and and and fun.
29:54
SPEAKER_01: But like overall, like it genuinely was so bad.
29:57
SPEAKER_02: And I started to watch episode one because I wanted like for Don, like something for us to talk about.
30:01
SPEAKER_02: And I'm so thankful we didn't go the direction on this podcast of making a love island fan.
30:06
SPEAKER_01: Oh, we would have had nothing to talk about.
30:07
SPEAKER_02: We would have, yeah.
30:08
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
30:09
SPEAKER_02: So I just I feel like the the to thought that I've been seeing online is did they ruin the season by making having them all like do a makeout challenge or something?
30:18
SPEAKER_01: So they immediately, yeah, because then it's like making out or kissing or whatever means nothing because the second you get there, everyone's already done it.
30:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
30:24
SPEAKER_01: So it's kind of just which I mean for these people that doesn't mean anything anyway, but that definitely takes it away.
30:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
30:30
SPEAKER_01: The other problem.
30:31
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, cough, cough.
30:33
SPEAKER_01: Um should I laws in?
30:36
SPEAKER_01: You should.
30:36
SPEAKER_01: Cheers.
30:37
SPEAKER_01: Welcome back to me.
30:41
SPEAKER_01: Also, Alani is sending me a package.
30:42
SPEAKER_01: I'm like waiting for it.
30:43
SPEAKER_02: I'm excited.
30:44
SPEAKER_01: Um also like their main producer died like the first week.
30:54
SPEAKER_02: Are you serious?
30:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I think that it affected the season.
30:58
SPEAKER_01: Obviously, that's not their only that's not the only reason it's sad.
31:01
SPEAKER_01: But you could tell I guess the producers were kind of scrambling because they really didn't have any like bombshells.
31:07
SPEAKER_01: The challenge the challenges were still happening though.
31:09
SPEAKER_01: But like, I don't know, it just was overall just like not a good season.
31:12
SPEAKER_01: Nobody was really memorable.
31:14
SPEAKER_01: Did you watch any seasons ever?
31:16
SPEAKER_01: Uh no.
31:16
SPEAKER_01: Ever since PPG, which is two years ago?
31:19
SPEAKER_02: Uh Rhode Island Housewives.
31:20
SPEAKER_01: Ever since two years ago with PPG, Leah, um, Janae, um, and Serena, they've been trying to reheat those nachos, which last season was turned because you had Huda and Amaya Papaya.
31:32
SPEAKER_02: The um Did she ever get her flavor out?
31:34
SPEAKER_02: I feel like they put it out like ten years late.
31:36
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, but the way she talked is just amazing.
31:38
SPEAKER_01: She said bags of skittos, and she would say, like instead of Trinity, she said my girl trinali.
31:44
SPEAKER_01: Trinilee.
31:45
SPEAKER_02: Was it a bit or is it serious?
31:46
SPEAKER_02: She's a speech impediment.
31:47
SPEAKER_01: She has a speech impediment, but like that I've never seen.
31:49
SPEAKER_02: Oh, I love that.
31:50
SPEAKER_02: She created her own T's or L's.
31:52
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
31:52
SPEAKER_01: Or what was the other word that she would say?
31:54
SPEAKER_01: Did you watch it, Amanda?
31:55
unknown: I did.
31:56
SPEAKER_01: I oh she would say um Yeah, she would just like make up her own words.
32:00
SPEAKER_01: Like instead of gratitude, she'd say gratitude.
32:02
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
32:03
SPEAKER_01: And I just I don't know, I just like that making up her own words.
32:05
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
32:05
SPEAKER_01: But anyway, they won.
32:06
SPEAKER_01: Cheers to them.
32:07
SPEAKER_01: Awful season.
32:08
SPEAKER_01: They already started casting the next season.
32:10
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
32:11
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
32:11
SPEAKER_01: It's just kind of a flop.
32:12
SPEAKER_01: Ever since PBG, it's just not been the same.
32:14
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
32:14
SPEAKER_01: But anyway.
32:15
SPEAKER_02: I understand that.
32:16
SPEAKER_01: All right, yours?
32:17
SPEAKER_02: Okay, mine's a little heavier today.
32:20
SPEAKER_02: Um, so an Owasso influencer.
32:23
SPEAKER_02: So we as you guys know, we're in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
32:26
SPEAKER_02: And there was an influencer that was um recently killed um because she she did the trend on.
32:33
SPEAKER_02: Have you seen that?
32:34
SPEAKER_01: She's from Owasso.
32:35
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
32:36
SPEAKER_02: Owasso, Oklahoma.
32:37
SPEAKER_02: She's an influencer here, and her husband was also, she he had like 330,000 followers on TikTok as well.
32:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's the documentary challenge where you sit down and it's like when Netflix asks me to da-da-da-da.
32:50
SPEAKER_02: Yes, and she went on and she was just like when um like doing the neck that doing that trend, and then she was just like finding out that the man I'm divorcing is also a pedophile.
33:01
SPEAKER_02: Right after that happened, I think she had a restraining order on him, a protective order, but she went in and then yeah, shot her and then shot himself, and then the son um called the cops.
33:13
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
33:14
SPEAKER_02: And it's just crazy.
33:15
SPEAKER_02: Wait, he killed himself too?
33:16
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
33:17
SPEAKER_02: He is dead too.
33:18
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
33:19
SPEAKER_01: How old is their son?
33:21
SPEAKER_02: Um, I feel like I mean, I saw him comment on her his mom's best friend's TikTok, so he's old enough to have social media.
33:27
SPEAKER_02: I feel like he's between 15 and 18, and like that is horrible.
33:30
SPEAKER_02: It is awful, and it is crazy because it first of all, it happens so close to us.
33:34
SPEAKER_02: Um, second thing is like it is crazy, like when you start.
33:38
SPEAKER_02: I'm not, by the way, I'm not saying that like the person who started the trend, you know, whatever, but it's crazy how like the what is it, butterfly effect or whatever it's called of like starting something and then it like ripples into what is the word?
33:51
SPEAKER_01: Oh I don't know.
33:52
SPEAKER_01: I don't know the effects, anyway.
33:54
SPEAKER_01: But I'm sure that's I'm sure that's a lot of fear of it.
33:57
SPEAKER_02: You know, a trend and doing something and just not knowing where it's gonna take off and what it leads to.
34:01
SPEAKER_01: What it leads to.
34:01
SPEAKER_01: I think that's giving butterfly.
34:03
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
34:03
SPEAKER_02: It seems butterflies.
34:05
SPEAKER_02: That is so bad.
34:05
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, from that, like since she posted that, um, he I think he broke the protective order and just did that to both of them.
34:12
SPEAKER_02: And it is absolutely just just awful, honestly.
34:16
SPEAKER_02: So I say the reason I bring this up now, um, it's not just local news, it is national news at this point, and it has triggered a lot of online conversation of like domestic violence, like what are the signs?
34:29
SPEAKER_02: Like it has picked up literally everyone that reports on news is talking about this story on TikTok.
34:35
SPEAKER_02: Everyone has their takes.
34:36
SPEAKER_01: I did not know because Amanda sent it to us.

SPEAKER_01: I did not know she was in Owaso.
34:40
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
34:41
SPEAKER_01: Uh, and it's of course it's sad either way, but uh considering that's like 30 minutes away, like that's like so.
34:46
SPEAKER_02: It is insane.
34:47
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
34:47
SPEAKER_02: So anyway.
34:48
SPEAKER_01: Well, praying for her son, I pray that he because if his dad did that type of stuff, I'm sure that he's lived an interesting like life as well.

SPEAKER_01: Like, it's just an amazing app with a lot of like beautiful and taunted people on it.
37:00
SPEAKER_02: Can you access?
37:01
SPEAKER_02: I'm not trying to like be super politically correct right now, but can you access all of this stuff for free?
37:06
SPEAKER_02: I mean just with ads?
37:08
SPEAKER_01: I don't have any ads.
37:09
SPEAKER_02: Are you do you pay$9.99 a month?
37:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
37:12
SPEAKER_02: Okay, I'm saying for those who don't pay$9.99 a month, can they access all of this?
37:16
SPEAKER_02: Just with ads.
37:18
SPEAKER_01: I don't think so.
37:19
SPEAKER_02: I mean Can they?
37:20
unknown: I think so.
37:21
SPEAKER_01: Why would people not pay?
37:23
SPEAKER_01: It's like if you have Spotify or Apple Music, you pay a monthly fee.
37:26
SPEAKER_02: I know, but like for someone that can't afford an extra thing, I don't want to get into all of it, but I'm saying if they give offered an extra fee, I'm just wondering.
37:32
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I'm all about being woke.
37:33
SPEAKER_01: I ain't that woke, though.
37:34
SPEAKER_01: I'm just talking about Spotify.
37:36
SPEAKER_01: I could I could talk about Turks and Keikos if I wanted to.
37:40
SPEAKER_01: That doesn't mean everyone can afford to go there.
37:42
SPEAKER_02: I was just wondering.
37:43
SPEAKER_01: No, there's a monthly fee.
37:45
SPEAKER_02: I was just wondering if there's an app that, like, if it is one of those things where you don't have to pay, like, because for Netflix, you can't just watch Netflix without a subscription.
37:53
SPEAKER_02: I didn't know if that was amazing.
37:54
SPEAKER_01: Wait, but Netflix could still be my ICU.
37:57
SPEAKER_02: It can.
37:57
SPEAKER_02: I I never said it couldn't be.
37:59
SPEAKER_01: I was I was saying not you taking this argument off the pod.
38:03
SPEAKER_02: Oh no, I was like, can I go off camera?
38:05
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, no, it's just a Spotify app.
38:06
SPEAKER_01: I like it.
38:07
SPEAKER_02: Okay, I'm just saying, like, it's cool if you can do it free or not.
38:10
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I've never.
38:11
SPEAKER_02: Because with Netflix, okay.
38:12
SPEAKER_01: I've never experienced the free version.

41:53
SPEAKER_01: I didn't I didn't not respond to you on purpose.
41:55

42:02
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
42:02

42:04
SPEAKER_01: Dear Domin Lauren, my best friend started dating someone new and has completely disappeared.
42:08
SPEAKER_01: I'm happy for her, but she only texts me when she needs advice or wants to complain about him.
42:12
SPEAKER_01: The second they're good again, I don't exist.
42:14
SPEAKER_01: I don't want to be the jealous friend, but I'm starting to feel like I'm just her emotional support side character.
42:20
SPEAKER_01: Am I being dramatic?
42:21
SPEAKER_01: Not at all.
42:22
SPEAKER_01: Bad friend, male-centered, cut her off, don't ever talk to her again.
42:25
SPEAKER_01: I'm just kidding.
42:26
SPEAKER_01: No, but voice it to her, and if she doesn't change, be like, okay, well, I hope you enjoy your boyfriend.
42:29
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
42:30
SPEAKER_02: Don't call me when you're gonna be able to do it.
42:31
SPEAKER_02: I think you should just say, like, hey, um, I do have stuff going on in my life as well, and I do miss the times where we, you know, it was a collaborative friendship.
42:39
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
42:39
SPEAKER_01: And now it's Because you can't be mad at anything you don't bring up.
42:41
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
42:42
SPEAKER_01: Even though it should come naturally to this friend, you have to bring it up and see what she does.
42:45
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
42:46
SPEAKER_02: Because there's probably times where that friend's like, oh, sorry, I'm being annoying about my boyfriend, like whatever.
42:50
SPEAKER_02: And she probably feels awkward being in that position and be like, no, it's fine.
42:53
SPEAKER_02: Like, I understand.
42:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
42:54
SPEAKER_02: Um, so in that case, like you do need to address it and be like, hey, this is I do miss my friend.
43:00
SPEAKER_02: Like, I want a friendship with you outside of you and your man.
43:03
SPEAKER_02: Um, I'm not dating you both.
43:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
43:05
SPEAKER_01: And if she doesn't respond well, just make out with her boyfriend.
43:07
SPEAKER_01: Okay, next.
43:08
SPEAKER_01: I'm just gonna serum.
43:10
SPEAKER_01: I love both of you.
43:11
SPEAKER_01: My friend tells everyone she has this glamorous job and lifestyle, but I recently found out that she's been exaggerating almost everything.
43:16
SPEAKER_01: She lies about where she goes, who she knows, and how much money she makes.
43:19
SPEAKER_01: Do I call her out or let her live her fantasy?
43:22
SPEAKER_01: I hate a liar.
43:23
SPEAKER_02: I hate a liar too.
43:24
SPEAKER_02: But also, it is kind of turnt, like it's turnt.
43:26
SPEAKER_01: It's turnt.
43:27
SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
43:28
SPEAKER_02: It's kind of turnt.
43:29
SPEAKER_02: Honestly, I love her.
43:30
SPEAKER_02: Like, we have to be honest.
43:31
SPEAKER_02: Honestly, I love her.
43:32
SPEAKER_02: I love her.
43:32
SPEAKER_01: But you should just like passive aggressively be like, oh, like, do you have any photos of it?
43:36
unknown: Yeah.
43:36
SPEAKER_01: And if she can't show it, like make her feel comfortable.
43:38
SPEAKER_02: So is she not including her friend in on the room?
43:42
SPEAKER_02: Including her best friend.
43:44
SPEAKER_01: She said, Do I call her out or let her live her fantasy?
43:47
SPEAKER_01: So she hasn't called it out.
43:48
SPEAKER_01: Her friend's not included.
43:49
SPEAKER_02: I know, but it's kind of seeming like her friend has this life online and then she's going back to you know what I mean?
43:56
SPEAKER_01: But she's lying to the friend too.
43:57
SPEAKER_01: She's lying to this person.
43:58
SPEAKER_01: Are you sure?
43:58
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
43:59
SPEAKER_02: Because I feel like
44:00
SPEAKER_01: Well that's splitting hairs, either way.
44:01
SPEAKER_02: No, because it's different.
44:02
SPEAKER_02: Because if it is one of those things she's just annoyed that like her friend lives a completely life different life offline, like either way, do you call her out or let her keep doing it?
44:12
SPEAKER_02: Um, I mean, if she knows about it, like I don't know.
44:16
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
44:16
SPEAKER_01: I would I I don't know.
44:17
SPEAKER_01: I would I just hate a liar.
44:19
SPEAKER_01: Because if you're lying about that, what else are you lying about?
44:21
SPEAKER_02: That's true.
44:21
SPEAKER_02: It is annoying behavior, but if you know about it off camera, you can just be like, girl, like, you know what I mean?
44:27
SPEAKER_02: Like, can you just be I don't know, authentic?
44:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
44:30
SPEAKER_02: But if she's lying to you, I would definitely like maybe in the friendship, you know what I mean?
44:34
SPEAKER_02: Bring it up.
44:35
SPEAKER_02: You can't be mad about anything you don't think.
44:36
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
44:37
SPEAKER_01: But I'm just like, if you're lying about this, what else are you lying about?
44:40
SPEAKER_02: Because it goes from an annoyance to a core issue.
44:42
SPEAKER_02: Like it's an annoyance of like knowing how she there's a core issue here.
44:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, this uh yeah.
44:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
44:48
SPEAKER_01: Dear Lauren and Dawn, my friend started getting popular on TikTok, and now every conversation feels like content.
44:52
SPEAKER_01: She asked permission to film everything, tell stories like she's narrating a podcast, and seems more interested in how things look than actually enjoying them.
44:58
SPEAKER_01: Do I tell her she's annoying or support her?
45:02
SPEAKER_02: Same.
45:03
SPEAKER_01: I hate that type of yeah.
45:05
SPEAKER_01: I hate that environment where everything feels like con like I was around someone recently in my life where just wanted to constantly film TikToks and posts, and I was just like, this is not like a like unless it's paying my bills, like back up.
45:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
45:19
SPEAKER_02: Like I would say we always say address it, but I think in this situation, just being like, hey, um, is there anything we could do that's just like the two of us that we don't need to document?
45:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
45:33
SPEAKER_02: But I mean also don't make sure it's like one-on-one and you don't like snap on her in front of other friends and be like, what does everything need to be con?
45:39
SPEAKER_02: Because I hate when people address in front, like correcting in private.
45:43
SPEAKER_02: You need to make sure you correct this behavior in private.
45:45
SPEAKER_01: I agree.
45:46
SPEAKER_01: Dear Truth Serum, my best friend finally broke up with her boyfriend, and everyone is devastated except me, me.
45:52
SPEAKER_01: I hated how she I hated how he treated her, and I feel like I can breathe again now that he is gone.
45:57
SPEAKER_01: Isn't wrong that I'm happy about something that hurt her?
46:00
SPEAKER_01: That is me.
46:01
SPEAKER_01: The second a bad relationship ends, I we're throwing an Exodus dinner.
46:07
SPEAKER_01: We are doing PowerPoints about how awful they were.
46:10
SPEAKER_01: I like sorry, wipe your tears, love.
46:13
SPEAKER_02: Make sure though, I will say this make sure that the relationship is actually over.
46:18
SPEAKER_01: Cause it really never is, and that is always my problem.
46:20
SPEAKER_01: They break up, and then I'm like, finally, they were awful, and they did this, da da da du da di.
46:25
SPEAKER_01: And then two weeks go by and they're back together.
46:26
SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, oh, now you know everything.
46:28
SPEAKER_02: Now you're blocked by the boyfriend.
46:29
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
46:30
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
46:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
46:32
SPEAKER_02: So it's just like you you have to make sure it's done done, which I would say I said seven, but maybe after three breakups, it might be done done.
46:39
SPEAKER_02: And then share.
46:40
SPEAKER_01: I've been blocked by many a boyfriend and many a girlfriend of my friends.
46:44
SPEAKER_02: You have.
46:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
46:45
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
46:45
SPEAKER_02: You got to make sure.
46:46
SPEAKER_01: Okay, two more.
46:48
SPEAKER_01: My question is was I expecting too much from this friendship, or was it a sign that we weren't as close as I thought?
46:53
SPEAKER_01: I had a friend I thought was becoming one of my closest friends.
46:56
SPEAKER_01: We traveled together, had a great connection, and I felt that we were genuinely close.
47:00
SPEAKER_01: Then I had a medical thing and soon after got a big promotion.
47:04
SPEAKER_01: She never checked in after my medical thing or congratulated me.
47:07
SPEAKER_01: Well, our mutual friends did.
47:09
SPEAKER_01: The next time she reached out, it was to tell me I owed her money from something we disagreed about.
47:14
SPEAKER_01: It wasn't the money that bothered me.
47:15
SPEAKER_01: It was that after being absent during two important moments of my life, that was the reason she called.
47:21
SPEAKER_01: When I confronted her about how hurt I was, she accused me of wanting to fight her.
47:27
SPEAKER_02: Like physically?
47:29
SPEAKER_01: Swinging.
47:29
SPEAKER_01: Is this Bad Girls Club?
47:30
SPEAKER_01: I've never been in a fight in my life.
47:32
SPEAKER_01: So that reaction completely caught me off guard and made me question the friendship even more.
47:36
SPEAKER_01: Baby, there is nothing to question.
47:37
SPEAKER_01: That is a period.
47:38
SPEAKER_01: This is not your friend at all.
47:40
SPEAKER_01: This is not your friend.
47:42
SPEAKER_01: But also, I hate having a debt.
47:44
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
47:44
SPEAKER_01: So if it's something that at any point you think you, if there's any part of you that thinks you should send her this money, send it to her.
47:50
SPEAKER_01: But this is not your friend.
47:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
47:51
SPEAKER_01: But I also don't, I'm like, if I owe somebody money, you can't talk bad about them.
47:55
SPEAKER_01: So if you have a debt to be paid and you want to run that mouth, you better send them a Vemo.
48:01
SPEAKER_01: One type I had a falling out with somebody I owed money to was the worst.
48:05
SPEAKER_01: Took me like a year to talk bad about them.
48:07
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
48:07
SPEAKER_02: Dom will snap out of something though.
48:09
SPEAKER_02: Like he doesn't like owe me money, but one time we were fighting, and I think you did owe me money, and you're like, oh wait, I owe you money.
48:15
SPEAKER_01: No, literally, it's shut up.
48:16
SPEAKER_01: You bought me dinner the night before, and I was like, Oh, I'm done.
48:18
unknown: Yeah.
48:19
SPEAKER_01: Like I owe you$12.99.
48:22
SPEAKER_01: Last one.
48:23
SPEAKER_01: My husband has a very unique job where his co-workers and where his co-workers and his families are extremely close.
48:32
SPEAKER_01: It's due to the job nature.
48:33
SPEAKER_01: It's very normal in this line of work for there to be drama.
48:37
SPEAKER_01: It just hey, I'ma say this to every is that the camera I can look at?
48:42
SPEAKER_01: Don't you ever submit anything to us again without some punctuation.
48:46
SPEAKER_01: I'm so pissed off as I read this submission.
48:49
SPEAKER_01: I can't even get through a sentence.
48:51
SPEAKER_01: Grow up.
48:53
SPEAKER_01: I'm so mad at whoever this is.
48:57
SPEAKER_01: I recently learned that one of the coworkers has a sex addiction and is always cheating on his partner.
49:05
SPEAKER_01: They have two kids, but I'm starting to suspect she knows as well.
49:08
SPEAKER_01: Do I say something or just leave it alone?
49:11
SPEAKER_01: I would want to know, but at the same time, we only know each other because of our husband's jobs.
49:18
SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
49:19
SPEAKER_01: Okay, stay out of people's marital businesses.
49:22
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
49:22
SPEAKER_02: I will say, um yeah.
49:27
SPEAKER_02: Do not ever, like literally ever put yourself in, unless you it's suspicion of abuse, something like that, then you cross like the line and go to the partner and talk about that.
49:38
SPEAKER_02: That other than that, if you have suspicions of cheating, suspicions of anything, you should talk to your husband and be like, hey, if this is a big deal, like two both of us do that, and you should go talk to your friend and talk on the mic.
49:52
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
49:53
SPEAKER_01: Hey, we're on a podcast.
49:54
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
49:55
SPEAKER_02: Um, you need to go have your husband talk to his friend.
49:58
SPEAKER_01: Because I'm the type of person where, for example, if I'm friends with two people and I find out one of them is cheating, what I do is I go to the person who's cheating and I say, Hey, you have like a day to tell him or her.
50:07
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
50:08
SPEAKER_01: Like you need to go tell them right now.
50:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
50:10
SPEAKER_01: If you're close to both of them.
50:11
SPEAKER_01: But I think talking to your husband and getting on the same page and they're bringing it up to the guy, I think is smart.
50:17
SPEAKER_01: They're like, hey, we have seen this, you need to bring it up to your wife.
50:20
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
50:20
SPEAKER_02: Or be like, we cannot be close to you guys anymore.
50:23
SPEAKER_02: Like and then the wife's gonna be wondering why.
50:26
SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't this is a situation where this is amazing advice.
50:29
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
50:30
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it needs to be addressed with the husband, be like, hey, you have a certain time frame.
50:34
SPEAKER_02: If not, we have to completely separate.
50:36
SPEAKER_02: And with that, like, I don't know.
50:39
SPEAKER_02: I just some people might be upset about this and be like, oh no, the the woman deserves no, or the man deserves to know.
50:44
SPEAKER_02: Which I agree they do deserve to know, but you need to do it the right way.
50:46
SPEAKER_02: But at the end of the day, nine times out of ten, unfortunately, or whatever, like people do end up working it out and staying together or doing something you do not want to like like the last advice you don't want to get too intertwined in someone else's business with that.
51:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
51:02
SPEAKER_02: So tell your husband, tell your husband, tell your husband the other husband.
51:05
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
51:06
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
51:07
SPEAKER_01: I also would just like to say Angie Kay and her husband split up, and I'm really sad about it.
51:12
SPEAKER_02: Who?

SPEAKER_01: Angie K from Her House House of Salt Lake City.
51:15
