- 0:55SPEAKER_00: Oh, of course.
- 0:57SPEAKER_01: Of course, of course.
- 0:58SPEAKER_01: Well, obviously, we talked about this last week that the Met Gala was coming up and now it's done past.
- 1:04SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: So oh wait, but first weather reports.
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: Oh weather!
- 1:08SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, for some reason I thought that was no, but dive in deep.
- 1:13SPEAKER_01: Also, I want to do in the future.
- 1:16SPEAKER_01: I want to call people in for weather reports.
- 1:19SPEAKER_01: So, like we can call my sister in Dallas, we can call Cortez, like we can call like any, we could call Danny in New York.
- 1:25SPEAKER_01: Like it'll be called your dad for one in San Diego.
- 1:28SPEAKER_01: Like that would be amazing.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: That's a really cute idea.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: So today the high is 60, or whoa.
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: The highest.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, it's not.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: We're liars.
- 1:39SPEAKER_00: It's 86.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: The high is 86, the low is 55, and it's currently 72 and sunny.
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: Ugh.
- 1:48SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: Dream.
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: And just the perfect pool day.
- 1:51SPEAKER_00: So I know, I can't lie.
- 1:53SPEAKER_00: And we did have a little burst of a thunderstorm last night, which was amazing.
- 1:58SPEAKER_00: But it was short-lived.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: It was like 30 seconds long.
- 2:01SPEAKER_01: So it's so frustrating when that happens.
- 2:04SPEAKER_01: Like, I need it to like commit to be that way the whole evening.
- 2:08SPEAKER_01: Like, I would I would have loved to go to sleep to rain, but beggars cannot be choosers.
- 2:13SPEAKER_00: We'll take what we can get, but I was ready to like hunker down.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: Like I was like, let me get like by the time I got out of the shower, it was sunny.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh right.
- 2:20SPEAKER_01: Like what I can deal if it's gloomy the rest of the night and it doesn't rain again.
- 2:24SPEAKER_01: But when it goes back to like a sunny normal day, I'm like, no, this does not seem right to me.
- 2:28SPEAKER_01: It's not right at all.
- 2:29SPEAKER_01: In my soul.
- 2:30SPEAKER_01: So whatever.
- 2:31SPEAKER_01: But yes, that's the weather.
- 2:32SPEAKER_01: Now to the Met Gala.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:34SPEAKER_01: So who tell me your favorite looks?
- 2:37SPEAKER_01: What do you think?
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: Okay, so my top three.
- 2:40SPEAKER_00: Well, number one was Paloma, which I feel like she's like a lot of people's number one, but seriously, her dresser.
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: The colors in the dress, the crystal coated ear.
- 2:52SPEAKER_00: I loved that detail.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: It was it made it look like just so cool with that little crystal.
- 2:59SPEAKER_01: I agree.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: And then um I loved Hunter Schaefer.
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
- 3:04SPEAKER_00: I saw people hating on her look, and I was a bit confused because that was genuinely, well, like my second favorite.
- 3:11SPEAKER_00: I really loved her.
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: Do you know who she went with?
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: I don't.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: I actually don't know.
- 3:15SPEAKER_01: It gave um it gave, like, I think stylistically it gave Chanel, but the dress itself didn't.
- 3:22SPEAKER_01: Like, I just think like when she's like darling and sweet with like bows and stuff, it gives Chanel, but I don't know if that's it.
- 3:28SPEAKER_00: And I loved, I saw her um like Inspot pick as well, and it like matched perfectly.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: And then I loved Kylie's.
- 3:35SPEAKER_01: I loved Kylie.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: I think if it was anybody else wearing that and having that look with the bleached brows, like everyone would have loved it.
- 3:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: So I thought it was really major.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: People are hyper-critical of her, including us from last.
- 3:47SPEAKER_01: Tyler said, my boyfriend, obviously, we bring him up every episode, but he said, You went too hard on my girl Kylie.
- 3:52SPEAKER_01: I'm like, okay, sounds.
- 3:54SPEAKER_01: Um, he's a Kylie's fan.
- 3:56SPEAKER_01: But I do agree.
- 3:57SPEAKER_01: She looked so gorgeous.
- 3:59SPEAKER_00: So good.
- 3:59SPEAKER_00: And the look down, like yes.
- 4:01SPEAKER_01: Oh, it was so good.
- 4:02SPEAKER_01: And I loved that Kindle's look complemented it so well.
- 4:06SPEAKER_01: I was telling Lacey this earlier in the week, but I'll regurgitate it here.
- 4:10SPEAKER_01: I hate that word.
- 4:10SPEAKER_01: Regurgitate.
- 4:11SPEAKER_01: I don't know why I said that.
- 4:12SPEAKER_01: Whoa.
- 4:13SPEAKER_01: Um, but I loved how, well, at first I thought that they went with the same designer, but Kylie went with Scaparelli and Kindle went with Gap by Zach Posin.
- 4:22SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 4:22SPEAKER_01: Which was so random to me because they both had that like uh like nude element and like a little boob and like a little bodice showing.
- 4:30SPEAKER_01: Um, so that was shocking to me, but I did like I loved the coordination and I really want to know what that process was.
- 4:36SPEAKER_01: Did they mean to do that?
- 4:38SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: We haven't gotten any like really get ready videos with either of them.
- 4:41SPEAKER_01: No, so no, but you know who we did get a get ready video for that it was my favorite look?
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: Who?
- 4:47SPEAKER_01: Emma Camberly.
- 4:48SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
- 4:49SPEAKER_01: Emma ate, like, and I feel really bad for everyone that had to go after her because she went first on the carpet.
- 4:55SPEAKER_01: Like, not everyone, because there were major looks.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: I love that hers is always the first, though.
- 4:59SPEAKER_00: It's like when she gets on the carpet, we're like, okay, it's about to begin.
- 5:02SPEAKER_00: Let the show begin.
- 5:03SPEAKER_01: Her dress was gorgeous.
- 5:04SPEAKER_01: It really was insane, and not only just that, but the way that she was styled, her hair looked perfect.
- 5:10SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's the Jared Elner effect, though.
- 5:12SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
- 5:13SPEAKER_01: Because he's so major, he's so major.
- 5:16SPEAKER_01: Like, I adore, but I also really loved, which I I don't know if this was a controversial take, but I think Sabrina's look was so cool because it was monstrous.
- 5:28SPEAKER_01: I loved her look so on theme, and the movie itself was called Sabrina.
- 5:33SPEAKER_01: I'm like, hello, that's genius, that's genius.
- 5:35SPEAKER_00: So Jared had his hands full that night.
- 5:38SPEAKER_00: Oh, he sure did.
- 5:39SPEAKER_01: Oh, he sure did.
- 5:40SPEAKER_01: And I love his boyfriend Owen.
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: I know, and I'm ready for them because um, have you heard Owen talk about how like he wants to get engaged right now?
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 5:49SPEAKER_00: I'm like, okay, where's the engagement?
- 5:50SPEAKER_01: I know, I need them to get engaged so bad.
- 5:53SPEAKER_01: And speaking of Owen, this was this was weeks ago, but he had Barbie Ferreira on his podcast and they let out a little clue, a little hint, a little um Easter egg.
- 6:05SPEAKER_01: A little secret, a little secret was spilled and NDA was broken, I can guarantee it.
- 6:10SPEAKER_01: But Barbie was talking about how she was on a music video set for thick off of Renaissance with all by Beyonce, of course, with all these amazing thick baddies, like it was it sounded like the lineup of people she was listing was insane.
- 6:27SPEAKER_01: Like, it was like Shy Girl, Precious Lee, I think she said Paloma, Barbie, all these people.
- 6:33SPEAKER_01: It's scrapped.
- 6:34SPEAKER_01: And so that leads to me, it that leads me to believe and like know intrinsically in my soul that there are hella Renaissance visuals sitting somewhere in our hard drive that is collecting dust.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: I can't even and like that would have been the most amazing album to have visuals for.
- 6:51SPEAKER_01: Like I know, I know.
- 6:53SPEAKER_01: Well, that's that's I think she was doing protection.
- 6:56SPEAKER_01: It's too much.
- 6:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's too much.
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: It was too much for the world to handle, I guess.
- 6:59SPEAKER_01: Right, but I'm about to go Nicholas Cage and steal that.
- 7:03SPEAKER_01: Oh, I'm about to go steal that hard drive because we need it.
- 7:07SPEAKER_01: Someone needs to release it.
- 7:08SPEAKER_01: Blue, get on it.
- 7:10SPEAKER_00: Manager, get on it.
- 7:11SPEAKER_01: If she could get D.Va in the set list, blue at the Met Gala.
- 7:14SPEAKER_01: Oh, blue at the Met Gala, Beyonce at the Met Gala.
- 7:17SPEAKER_01: So beautiful.
- 7:18SPEAKER_01: Come on.
- 7:18SPEAKER_01: The videos of them being like blue, glasses off, glasses off.
- 7:21SPEAKER_00: Oh, and she did not want to take those glasses off.
- 7:23SPEAKER_00: And she shouldn't have to.
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: No, they complimented her look perfectly.
- 7:26SPEAKER_01: She looked so gorgeous, and I loved Beyonce giving an interview.
- 7:29SPEAKER_01: I haven't heard her speak in so long.
- 7:32SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, it was so special, and she was like, I'm just here for my baby, like she's such a good mom.
- 7:37SPEAKER_01: She's so gentle and soft spoken.
- 7:39SPEAKER_01: Like, I know I just love her.
- 7:40SPEAKER_01: And her look was like so gorgeous.
- 7:42SPEAKER_01: I do think that she was like, I don't I didn't love the headpiece, I'm gonna be honest in that, but I I do think that it was a gorgeous look, and her I mean, she can never fail, so right.
- 7:52SPEAKER_00: Like, you can never go wrong, no matter what she does.
- 7:54SPEAKER_01: It's like and my does not forget that Rihanna showed up at the very last second, right?
- 8:00SPEAKER_01: Looking amazing and just being so graceful down the carpet, talking to interviewers, like speaking life into the interviewers as well.
- 8:08SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm like, oh my god, she's too much.
- 8:09SPEAKER_01: Like, I love it.
- 8:10SPEAKER_00: Both of them being at an event together in the first time in forever, it just felt like it felt like 2016.
- 8:17SPEAKER_01: 2016 is back, like it is so back.
- 8:19SPEAKER_01: So I loved just knowing that they were in there.
- 8:22SPEAKER_01: I could sleep safely in soundly.
- 8:23SPEAKER_00: Seriously, it felt like everything was the world had like realigned, the world had healed.
- 8:28SPEAKER_01: That is that is true.
- 8:29SPEAKER_01: That is true.
- 8:31SPEAKER_01: Um, but I'm trying to think what else.
- 8:33SPEAKER_01: There, I have a few notes about what happened up at the Met Gala because I think that this is so funny.
- 8:39SPEAKER_01: Okay, so Hudson Williams was videoed.
- 8:45SPEAKER_01: Well, first of all, we've been talking a lot about raccoons lately, and let me just say that Hudson Williams looked just like those damn raccoons that lived in Lacey's attic, and I loved he did rivalry.
- 8:56SPEAKER_01: I love him, like I think that he's major, but that look, I was like, oh Lacey, these are the diva raccoons we were talking about in your attic because he was giving like that eye.
- 9:05SPEAKER_01: I was like, okay, yeah.
- 9:06SPEAKER_01: It it gave though, like first met, very eager, very naive.
- 9:10SPEAKER_00: Maybe, like, you know how athletes will sometimes do like a play on like the the football, like you think that he was giving that with hockey?
- 9:18SPEAKER_01: Maybe he was like, Oh, I saw please.
- 9:21SPEAKER_01: First of all, that's hilarious.
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: But I saw a video of him explaining it, and I think it was a reference to like some piece of art or black swan, the movie, the movie Black Swan.
- 9:30SPEAKER_01: He wanted to do like the light, the white swan, the black swan.
- 9:34SPEAKER_01: There's a there's a little I mean you can really turn something into anything, like it can be quite it can be, you know, whatever.
- 9:39SPEAKER_01: But there was a video.
- 9:40SPEAKER_01: This is what I was getting at.
- 9:41SPEAKER_01: There's a video of him leaving the afters.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: Oh, wait, I'm gonna go.
- 9:45SPEAKER_01: Did you I saw baby jaw swinging?
- 9:50SPEAKER_01: He was like, and he's having to be carried by these people out, and I was crying watching that.
- 9:57SPEAKER_01: Like it was.
- 9:57SPEAKER_01: I loved his straight face though.
- 9:59SPEAKER_01: He was just like, I know, no, he was like, hi guys, like his eyes you could tell he had seen some like he was literally like and I know he had a time, I know he had a time, and I wish I could have seen I wish I could have seen clips from that party.
- 10:14SPEAKER_01: What was going on in there?
- 10:15SPEAKER_00: And was it Jay-Z and Beyonce's, or was it YSL.
- 10:18SPEAKER_01: YSL was the other big party that everyone was going to, and that video of Rihanna.
- 10:22SPEAKER_01: I'm going to Jay-Z's.
- 10:24SPEAKER_01: I know, and it was just like, where else would I be?
- 10:25SPEAKER_01: Where else would I go?
- 10:26SPEAKER_01: And Aesop went to YSL.
- 10:28SPEAKER_01: And then there was that drama that they were maybe fighting.
- 10:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I saw that, but people want to make up anything.
- 10:34SPEAKER_01: I know, and I'm like, okay, that's the most human thing.
- 10:37SPEAKER_01: Like, of course, you're gonna like have a little tiff with your man after a night out.
- 10:41SPEAKER_00: Did you what was that?
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: I think one of them tossed the rock under the door.
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: They're like, let me in.
- 10:47SPEAKER_01: The cats are throwing rocks at our window.
- 10:50SPEAKER_01: They want in here so bad.
- 10:52SPEAKER_01: Maybe, maybe one day in the future we'll let one cat in.
- 10:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah, special guest episode.
- 10:57SPEAKER_01: Special guest episode.
- 10:58SPEAKER_01: It could have been Juni, but last week when it was her birthday, but no.
- 11:01SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, access denied.
- 11:03SPEAKER_01: No, she was too excited.
- 11:04SPEAKER_01: Too excited.
- 11:05SPEAKER_01: Um, anything else about the Matt Gala you wanna recap on?
- 11:09SPEAKER_01: Or anything from this week?
- 11:10SPEAKER_01: Anything from this week?
- 11:11SPEAKER_00: Anything from this week?
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: Well, I saw the Michael Jackson movie.
- 11:14SPEAKER_00: Yes! And wow, wow, wow, wow.
- 11:18SPEAKER_00: It was everything.
- 11:19SPEAKER_00: It was so good.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: You didn't well, no, you haven't.
- 11:23SPEAKER_00: I haven't seen it yet, but you have to go.
- 11:25SPEAKER_00: I know.
- 11:25SPEAKER_00: Um, it Jafar, who is his nephew, um, played him in the movie.
- 11:32SPEAKER_00: If you didn't know, I feel like everyone knows that, but um, and he it was his first time ever acting.
- 11:37SPEAKER_00: Crazy.
- 11:38SPEAKER_00: And that is insane to me because he did the most amazing job, like acting, singing, dancing, all of it.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: Like he was unreal.
- 11:49SPEAKER_01: And yeah, it was a very emotional and did you feel you learned more about him and his like childhood and stuff?
- 11:58SPEAKER_00: Yes, because I mean, obviously, I feel like we all know like general things about Michael Jackson, but like we didn't grow up with him.
- 12:05SPEAKER_00: So I don't I didn't know like all about his childhood and like all the issues with his dad, and yeah, I had no idea.
- 12:13SPEAKER_00: So his dad is.
- 12:14SPEAKER_00: Where were you when Michael Jackson died?
- 12:16SPEAKER_00: I I don't even remember that happening, sadly.
- 12:19SPEAKER_00: Like, I do not recall.
- 12:21SPEAKER_00: You know where I was?
- 12:22SPEAKER_01: Where at Frontier City in line for the steel lasso with Macy, and it was like um How did you gave the news?
- 12:34SPEAKER_01: Did you have to it was a game of telephone, I swear.
- 12:36SPEAKER_01: The the we were in line to get on the roller coaster and it started from the front.
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: Someone had an iPhone.
- 12:40SPEAKER_01: It was like what, 2009, so there were iPhones, I think.
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: Or maybe someone got called by you know, whatever.
- 12:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah, or like radio, like there were always announcements on the radio, but they were passing it back from the back of the line to or from the front to the back.
- 12:52SPEAKER_01: Like it was like a game of telephone.
- 12:54SPEAKER_01: Michael Jackson died, Michael Jackson died, Michael Jackson died, and then it gets to us.
- 12:58SPEAKER_01: Mind you, we're 10 years old.
- 13:00SPEAKER_01: We don't know Michael Jackson, like we don't we didn't know a lot of Michael Jackson's songs.
- 13:04SPEAKER_01: We we did not we were not invested to that level.
- 13:07SPEAKER_01: We started bawling our eyes out.
- 13:10SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's that's it's valid, it's valid, but I I should have mourned him more.
- 13:15SPEAKER_00: Like, well now I'm mourning him now.
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: You're mourning him now which matters.
- 13:18SPEAKER_01: That matters more because like I we yeah, we cried, but in a performative way.
- 13:22SPEAKER_00: Like we were like, oh my god, like we were empathizing with the crowd, but like we didn't know, we did not know.
- 13:28SPEAKER_01: And Macy and I still talk about it to this day.
- 13:30SPEAKER_01: We're like we and then of course we get on the ride, we're like, we get off, we go get dip and dots.
- 13:36SPEAKER_01: Forgotten, forgotten news.
- 13:38SPEAKER_01: Um, but I I love that.
- 13:40SPEAKER_01: But I need to go see the movie, so it was it was so good.
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: I would see it again.
- 13:43SPEAKER_00: Like I I want it where I could stream at home.
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, oh, she so would.
- 13:48SPEAKER_01: Well, they're apparently coming out with two more.
- 13:51SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, that or I think at least one more that I know of.
- 13:55SPEAKER_00: Okay, but um, yeah, that was just part one, and yeah, it was kind of just like the come-up of his career and like just him coming into stardom and yes, all of that.
- 14:07SPEAKER_00: But yeah, it was just so so good.
- 14:10SPEAKER_00: And I've been listening to Michael Jackson all week.
- 14:12SPEAKER_01: Nonstop.
- 14:12SPEAKER_01: You need to send me your faves.
- 14:14SPEAKER_01: I need to I need to tap into Michael.
- 14:16SPEAKER_01: I love the well, Taryn showed me that one song that I had heard before, and I was like, oh okay, like that's my type of that's my type of jam.
- 14:24SPEAKER_01: Like I need to get into them.
- 14:25SPEAKER_01: Like, obviously, I know the hits, but right, a deep dive needs to be held.
- 14:30SPEAKER_00: Oh, for sure.
- 14:30SPEAKER_00: For sure, for sure.
- 14:32SPEAKER_01: Legend, legend status.
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: Um, it was Taryn's birthday this week too.
- 14:36SPEAKER_01: We went out to dinner.
- 14:37SPEAKER_00: Yes, we did go to dinner.
- 14:39SPEAKER_00: Lacey got a little sick afterwards.
- 14:41SPEAKER_00: Well, you see, my body's having this crazy issue with food poisoning lately.
- 14:44SPEAKER_00: I guess I shouldn't have mentioned it on last week's pod.
- 14:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
- 14:48SPEAKER_00: And the whole electrolytes of it all.
- 14:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah, true.
- 14:51SPEAKER_00: Somehow I got food poison or I I mean, I think it was food poisoning.
- 14:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:55SPEAKER_00: I there's really no way of knowing because I can have a weird stomach, but something happened after we went to dinner.
- 15:00SPEAKER_00: Devastating.
- 15:01SPEAKER_01: She was down and out for like two days.
- 15:02SPEAKER_00: For like 48 hours, but I'm back and feeling great.
- 15:06SPEAKER_00: And she's better.
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: And she's having her first coffee.
- 15:09SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 15:09SPEAKER_00: We do have class and coffee with us.
- 15:12SPEAKER_01: ASMR.
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: And okay, do you are you a regular anywhere?
- 15:17SPEAKER_00: Like at a cafe or a restaurant?
- 15:20SPEAKER_01: Um Tyler and I used to be regulars at Rad Bar where we first met.
- 15:25SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 15:26SPEAKER_01: But not anymore.
- 15:27SPEAKER_01: I'm really but you're a regular to Classen.
- 15:29SPEAKER_00: I'm a re I really am a regular at Class In, and I'm like they know your order when you pull up?
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: Most of them.
- 15:36SPEAKER_00: Most of them do.
- 15:37SPEAKER_00: And I wonder if it's like embarrassing to other people as it is to me to be regular.
- 15:42SPEAKER_00: Like sometimes I'm like, oh, I cannot shut my face here again, even though I go multiple times a week and you're not regularly stops me.
- 15:48SPEAKER_01: Baby, you're not regular.
- 15:50SPEAKER_01: You you extraordinary.
- 15:53SPEAKER_00: What do you mean by that?
- 15:55SPEAKER_01: No, it's it it shouldn't be embarrassing because when I worked at a restaurant, it was so refreshing seeing people like, oh, there she is again, or there she is again.
- 16:03SPEAKER_00: It feels like, damn, like she's back again.
- 16:07SPEAKER_00: Well, and I'll literally look up on TikTok.
- 16:09SPEAKER_00: I'm like, are other people regulars at coffee shops?
- 16:12SPEAKER_00: Seeking validation.
- 16:14SPEAKER_00: That's crazy.
- 16:16SPEAKER_00: But okay, I do have an excuse because I work from home.
- 16:20SPEAKER_00: Like it's my little outing.
- 16:21SPEAKER_00: Like, I love a routine of like getting up early, going to get my coffee, and it's my favorite coffee in the city.
- 16:28SPEAKER_00: Like, if I get a coffee anywhere else, it's just never good.
- 16:31SPEAKER_00: It doesn't hit.
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: And so I also local.
- 16:35SPEAKER_00: So I know, and that's what I think too.
- 16:36SPEAKER_00: It's not like I'm going to Duncan every day.
- 16:38SPEAKER_00: No.
- 16:38SPEAKER_01: Community goods.
- 16:40SPEAKER_01: That should not be embarrassing.
- 16:41SPEAKER_01: That should be like pride coffee.
- 16:44SPEAKER_01: And shout out Class in.
- 16:46SPEAKER_01: And it's so good.
- 16:46SPEAKER_01: Like anytime I get a class on coffee, I know I'm gonna have a good day.
- 16:49SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 16:50SPEAKER_00: Because that is exactly it literally makes me so happy.
- 16:53SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 16:53SPEAKER_01: So good.
- 16:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm not gonna um stop that part of me.
- 16:56SPEAKER_00: Never stop.
- 16:57SPEAKER_00: Never stop.
- 16:58SPEAKER_00: And I hate when people are like, oh, that you spend this like X amount of money per year if you get a coffee every day or like however many times a week.
- 17:06SPEAKER_00: I don't care.
- 17:07SPEAKER_00: Like I'm thinking about the amount I make per hour.
- 17:11SPEAKER_00: It's buying one coffee.
- 17:12SPEAKER_00: I can't even or what like you know what I mean?
- 17:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like the amount I make per hour, it's like such a small amount for even one hour of work.
- 17:20SPEAKER_00: Like, I can't get one coffee a day.
- 17:22SPEAKER_01: Also, I'm working all day.
- 17:24SPEAKER_01: People should never shame us for um consumption in that way.
- 17:28SPEAKER_01: Like getting a little coffee that makes our day better and puts us in a positive mindset, that should be celebrated and like exciting.
- 17:36SPEAKER_01: Like that's it that doesn't harm anyone, it's benefiting a local business.
- 17:40SPEAKER_01: Like, girl, and it's I will gladly spend eight dollars a day on a coffee if that means I have a better day.
- 17:46SPEAKER_01: Like exactly.
- 17:47SPEAKER_00: I exactly no no no no.
- 17:49SPEAKER_00: But me and Aubrey always talk about it.
- 17:51SPEAKER_00: We're like, did you get a matcha today?
- 17:52SPEAKER_00: Did you get a coffee today?
- 17:53SPEAKER_00: We're like, yeah, yeah.
- 17:54SPEAKER_01: And Aubrey's a uh regular organic squeeze.
- 17:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she gets her matcha every day on the lunch break.
- 17:59SPEAKER_01: Yep, shout out.
- 18:01SPEAKER_01: Which also we made false comparisons last week because you know what the Erwan is of well, no, I think I said this in the floor.
- 18:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think she did say organic squeeze.
- 18:08SPEAKER_01: But organic squeeze has a thunder smoothie that's giving like Erwan specialty smoothie major.
- 18:15SPEAKER_01: Hey, uh check back in a year, we're gonna have a specialty latte.
- 18:21SPEAKER_01: We're gonna have a rainy day smoothie or latte somewhere.
- 18:25SPEAKER_01: So shout out, shout out.
- 18:26SPEAKER_00: Whoever, whoever wants to go out, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 18:29SPEAKER_01: The bid is open.
- 18:30SPEAKER_00: The bid is open.
- 18:32SPEAKER_01: Um, well, do we want to get into what we're talking about this week?
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: Oh, yes.
- 18:37SPEAKER_00: So, our topic for today's episode is basically Gabby and Lacey Lore.
- 18:44SPEAKER_00: How did we get here?
- 18:45SPEAKER_01: Yes, how did we get here on this couch with microphones in our hand talking and um rooted in sisterhood?
- 18:52SPEAKER_02: How do we get here?
- 18:55SPEAKER_01: Well, we're gonna tell you the deep dive.
- 18:58SPEAKER_01: What did I say last week?
- 18:59SPEAKER_01: Deep dive, deep dive, deep dive.
- 19:01SPEAKER_01: Um, yes, we're gonna get into the deep dive of our friendship, of how we met, our origin story, how Rainy Day Pod came up came to be.
- 19:11SPEAKER_01: So take a seat, get a snack, get a class of coffee.
- 19:16SPEAKER_01: Um, and yeah, we're well, first I think it makes sense to start with like where we're from individually.
- 19:21SPEAKER_01: So maybe I should start since yours is like we I'll start with mine, and then you can go into leading up to being in high school together.
- 19:29SPEAKER_01: Okay, so mine will be quick because I grew up well, I was born in Oklahoma and grew up in Oklahoma, never, never left, never left.
- 19:40SPEAKER_01: Went to a private school till I was like in fourth grade, um, and then transferred to my first public school, and I was so anxious as a kid.
- 19:49SPEAKER_01: Like, I was an anxious, anxious, anxious child.
- 19:53SPEAKER_01: Like, I actually, this is lore that will make sense into a rainy day, but I used to be horrified of storms when I was a kid.
- 20:01SPEAKER_01: I would cry.
- 20:02SPEAKER_01: I would like if there was a dark cloud in the sky, my mom would have to lie to us and say they're nighttime clouds because I was just so scared of rain, so scared of tornadoes.
- 20:12SPEAKER_01: I don't know what it what it was growing up in Oklahoma.
- 20:15SPEAKER_00: That's valid to be scared of tornadoes, especially as a child.
- 20:18SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
- 20:18SPEAKER_01: So I was really, really scared of storms, but anxious all growing up.
- 20:23SPEAKER_01: So you can imagine that shift from like a small um private school where I had like five people in my class to a big public school with tons of people.
- 20:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 20:33SPEAKER_01: So my first day of public school, I'm like crying on the playground.
- 20:35SPEAKER_01: I have no friends, I'm like scared.
- 20:38SPEAKER_01: Little Gabby, I'll put a picture of me.
- 20:41SPEAKER_01: Oh, my Shayla! Like, oh my god, I was so scared.
- 20:44SPEAKER_01: And my angels, Linda, first came up to me.
- 20:48SPEAKER_01: And this is debate.
- 20:49SPEAKER_01: This is always this is always a debate.
- 20:50SPEAKER_01: Who is first who was first though?
- 20:52SPEAKER_01: Oh, who was first?
- 20:54SPEAKER_01: Linda came up to me and was like, hi, like I was crying, crying on the playground.
- 20:58SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes, we've talked.
- 21:00SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 21:00SPEAKER_00: Oh, I forget about that.
- 21:02SPEAKER_00: It's so cute.
- 21:03SPEAKER_01: And so Linda came up to me and was like, Hi, I'm Linda.
- 21:06SPEAKER_01: Like, can I hang out with you?
- 21:07SPEAKER_01: Like, and Linda had gone to school there already, and she's literally my angel, my tourist sister for life.
- 21:12SPEAKER_01: Her birthday's coming up, shout out.
- 21:14SPEAKER_01: Um and so Linda like took me in under her wing, and then shortly after I met Macy and then Casey and Breck, like it just became a friend group.
- 21:23SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 21:23SPEAKER_01: So I went to Deer Creek.
- 21:25SPEAKER_01: Well, do we say the school?
- 21:26SPEAKER_01: I don't think we're gonna go to the school.
- 21:27SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 21:27SPEAKER_01: I was like, should we mention like I don't know why that would matter, why we couldn't say it, but whatever.
- 21:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah, went there um up until high school, had the same group of friends, like literally forever.
- 21:38SPEAKER_01: Like we rolled deep, like me, Macy, Breck, Casey, Linda, squad.
- 21:44SPEAKER_01: Never switched, never switched up.
- 21:46SPEAKER_01: Like, that was my squad forever.
- 21:47SPEAKER_01: So then into high school, I it was freshman year.
- 21:53SPEAKER_01: Like, I was really close with my sister and her friends too, but I also had that like core group of girls.
- 21:59SPEAKER_01: So So there was one day, freshman year in the freshman academy, we had a tornado drill or something in the cafeteria.
- 22:09SPEAKER_01: And I was like, okay, like, what is going on?
- 22:12SPEAKER_01: We all went down there.
- 22:13SPEAKER_01: I see Linda and Linda and Casey walk up.
- 22:16SPEAKER_01: It was Linda and Casey, right?
- 22:18SPEAKER_01: They walk up and they're like, oh my God, Gabby, you need to meet Lacey.
- 22:20SPEAKER_01: And they had told me about Lacey because she had just transferred.
- 22:23SPEAKER_01: And yeah, whatever.
- 22:25SPEAKER_01: But we'll get to that.
- 22:26SPEAKER_01: We'll get to that when I'm ready.
- 22:27SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 22:28SPEAKER_00: And so I was born in Tulsa and then moved to Arizona.
- 22:34SPEAKER_01: I always forget you were born in Tulsa.
- 22:36SPEAKER_00: I know.
- 22:37SPEAKER_00: But it was before I was even like one year old, like um is when we moved to Arizona.
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: So I grew up in Arizona, but um, yeah, we obviously did not grow up together, but our just our childhoods and our like interests, we have so many things, like so much overlap.
- 22:56SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 22:56SPEAKER_00: So many similarities.
- 22:58SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 22:58SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, so I grew up in Arizona, and then my second semester freshman year of high school, my family moved back to Oklahoma.
- 23:09SPEAKER_00: And so this is when I transferred to their high school.
- 23:14SPEAKER_00: And I met our friend Linda.
- 23:17SPEAKER_00: She like was she befriended me, and I think we were in math class, like our last hour, and she complimented my jacket, and um, yeah, we started talking from there.
- 23:28SPEAKER_00: Literally, she became like we became so close instantly.
- 23:32SPEAKER_01: And same with me and Linda when we were kids.
- 23:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
- 23:35SPEAKER_01: Like, it's so like, oh my god, Linda's gonna cry when she listens to this.
- 23:39SPEAKER_01: But she's such a special person.
- 23:41SPEAKER_01: She's so special and perfect, and um but she was just the sweetest.
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: I know, I know.
- 23:47SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, why am I tearing out?
- 23:49SPEAKER_00: She's the best.
- 23:50SPEAKER_00: Okay, continue.
- 23:51SPEAKER_00: She is the best ever.
- 23:52SPEAKER_00: But yeah, Linda was my first friend, and she introduced me to KC.
- 23:58SPEAKER_00: Um, and they kept saying, like, oh, you need to meet like our friends, Breck and Gabby, like we'll have to do something someday.
- 24:06SPEAKER_00: But mind you, we didn't have any.
- 24:07SPEAKER_00: I only had a class with Linda.
- 24:09SPEAKER_00: She was the only person that I like had first met because I didn't ever see you guys like Yeah, we had no classes we and me and Gabby didn't have classes together the entire time, all four years of high school, which is crazy.
- 24:20SPEAKER_00: They knew they knew not to do that.
- 24:22SPEAKER_00: They knew not to do that.
- 24:23SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, so that was that was how we met was through our mutual friend, Linda.
- 24:31SPEAKER_00: Yes, but yeah, we met one day, there was a tornado drill, and and they were like, Okay, yes, meet each other, and it was like we had known each other forever.
- 24:43SPEAKER_01: Like you true friends know that feeling when you meet someone and you're like, Oh, hi, like it felt so familiar.
- 24:49SPEAKER_01: We're like already talking, we're sitting there during the tornado drill, we're talking, like nothing, like we were just getting to know each other instantly, or it didn't even feel like we were getting to know each other.
- 24:57SPEAKER_01: We were just like we already knew each other, we already knew each other, and we're like, Oh hey, you again! Like, mind you, it's always been yes, but mind you, first time meeting.
- 25:05SPEAKER_01: We're like, hey! Um, so after that, maybe I feel like it was the same week.
- 25:11SPEAKER_00: I think it was the same week, or maybe the next week or so, because yeah, soon after we had planned to go to the movie to see a big premiere of a movie you may know called The Fault in Our Stars starring Angel Elgore and what's her name?
- 25:27SPEAKER_01: Shailen Woodley.
- 25:28SPEAKER_00: Shaylene Woodley, yeah.
- 25:29SPEAKER_01: Period.
- 25:30SPEAKER_00: And it wasn't a regular showing, like we went to a midnight showing, like opening night.
- 25:35SPEAKER_00: We like I remember being lined up like outside of the movie.
- 25:38SPEAKER_00: We were sitting outside with a line of people.
- 25:41SPEAKER_00: You know what though?
- 25:43SPEAKER_01: I don't think there was a line of people, Lacey.
- 25:45SPEAKER_01: I think we made it a thing.
- 25:46SPEAKER_00: Like, I think that's what I remember sitting outside with many people.
- 25:50SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 25:50SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 25:51SPEAKER_01: I feel like we wanted to make it that way.
- 25:54SPEAKER_01: Like, because we showed up so early, and I feel like it was like an eight o'clock showing or something like that.
- 25:58SPEAKER_00: But we it was some sort of like early showing, whatever it was, it was like premium night.
- 26:03SPEAKER_01: Like it was peak tumbler era, like 2014.
- 26:06SPEAKER_01: Yes, like we're all so excited to see we're gonna be.
- 26:09SPEAKER_00: We had never hung out with each other.
- 26:10SPEAKER_00: I had never met our friend Greg, no, yeah, who was meeting us there.
- 26:14SPEAKER_00: I was so nervous.
- 26:15SPEAKER_00: Like, I remember my dad dropping me off, and I was like, Oh, just like new friends.
- 26:20SPEAKER_00: Like, I was so scared.
- 26:22SPEAKER_00: I'm so bright.
- 26:22SPEAKER_00: And um, I'm pretty sure my dad even like walked me up.
- 26:25SPEAKER_00: Like, he was like, of course, of course, he was gonna.
- 26:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he wasn't gonna let you walk through that mall.
- 26:30SPEAKER_01: He's not gonna let you walk through that mall.
- 26:32SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, that was our first time meeting, and mind you, before me and Gabby had even hung out The Tornado Sirens.
- 26:38SPEAKER_00: Oh, hi sirens.
- 26:39SPEAKER_00: Hi noons.
- 26:40SPEAKER_00: It's noon in Oklahoma.
- 26:42SPEAKER_00: Um, before we had even ever hung out, like we had only met each other again in passing at the tornado drill, we were tweeting each other.
- 26:52SPEAKER_00: Tweeting each other constantly.
- 26:55SPEAKER_00: Constantly.
- 26:57SPEAKER_01: So to put this in in perspective, like Twitter was I mean, if if you are our age, like if you're around 27, you know how important Twitter was for culture.
- 27:11SPEAKER_00: Every detail, everything we found funny, anything like No, we live tweeted our lives.
- 27:17SPEAKER_00: It was insane.
- 27:17SPEAKER_01: It wasn't it wasn't serious, it wasn't a joke at all.
- 27:20SPEAKER_01: It was not a joking matter, it was dead serious.
- 27:23SPEAKER_01: Like we were It was like vlogging, but like tweeting.
- 27:26SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 27:26SPEAKER_01: So we would tweet each other before, yeah, before we even like knew each other, we'd be like, hey, how we were internet friends, yes, mind you, five feet away.
- 27:34SPEAKER_00: We're like tomorrow at Gabby Plus because we were going to see the movie.
- 27:37SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes, yes.
- 27:38SPEAKER_01: We were like, oh my gosh, Fault in Our Stars um midnight showing tomorrow.
- 27:41SPEAKER_01: We're like, what are we seeing?
- 27:43SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, can't wait.
- 27:44SPEAKER_01: So excited.
- 27:45SPEAKER_01: And so yeah, we went to wait, what was my birthday before or after the Fallen Our Stars?
- 27:50SPEAKER_01: Let me look up really quick.
- 27:52SPEAKER_01: When did the Fallen Our Stars hit?
- 27:53SPEAKER_00: It had to be after.
- 27:55SPEAKER_00: I mean, your birthday had to be after.
- 28:04SPEAKER_01: Lacey, that means No.
- 28:08SPEAKER_01: No.
- 28:09SPEAKER_01: The first time we hung out was Fault in Our Stars.
- 28:12SPEAKER_01: But Lacey, we're forgetting a key part of this story.
- 28:14SPEAKER_01: We met at the tornado drill and we did not hang out for guys.
- 28:19SPEAKER_01: Sorry, bear with us.
- 28:19SPEAKER_01: We're trying to recall this.
- 28:21SPEAKER_01: Wait, we did not hang out until Fault in Our Stars came out that summer.
- 28:26SPEAKER_01: So we must have met at the end of the year.
- 28:28SPEAKER_00: There's no way.
- 28:31SPEAKER_01: Cut that out.
- 28:32SPEAKER_00: Maybe we just have a horrible memory.
- 28:34SPEAKER_01: Girl, we're rewriting her street.
- 28:35SPEAKER_01: That's the that's a key part of anything.
- 28:38SPEAKER_01: Whatever we want to be true is true.
- 28:40SPEAKER_00: I swear we were in school when Fault in Our Stars came out.
- 28:43SPEAKER_00: That's what I thought too.
- 28:45SPEAKER_00: Maybe that's a damn lie.
- 28:46SPEAKER_00: That's a lie.
- 28:47SPEAKER_01: And it's probably this new Siri AI feature that I hate.
- 28:50SPEAKER_01: So, anyways, that's not true.
- 28:52SPEAKER_01: That's not true, Ellen.
- 28:54SPEAKER_01: This is how we remember it, okay?
- 28:57SPEAKER_01: And our version of the story is what matters, not any of this bullshit.
- 29:00SPEAKER_01: I don't hear what any of you need to say.
- 29:02SPEAKER_01: But uh what I was going to say was it was probably right after we had met after the tornado drill.
- 29:09SPEAKER_01: My birthday was like the week after or something.
- 29:12SPEAKER_01: And Lacey and I had never hung out, like or maybe we had.
- 29:15SPEAKER_01: I don't know the order of events, but we barely knew each other.
- 29:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 29:18SPEAKER_01: And Lacey goes, Oh my god, we have to take a photo.
- 29:21SPEAKER_01: Well, first of all, they surprised me.
- 29:23SPEAKER_01: Remember, like you guys all had math together, and I was in a class across the hall.
- 29:26SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 29:27SPEAKER_01: And you guys were like, Gabby, come into this room.
- 29:29SPEAKER_01: And everyone was singing me happy birthday.
- 29:31SPEAKER_00: Gabby was like a damn celebrity.
- 29:33SPEAKER_00: Okay, come on.
- 29:34SPEAKER_00: No.
- 29:34SPEAKER_00: No.
- 29:34SPEAKER_00: No.
- 29:36SPEAKER_00: And it was such a big thing in high, especially freshman and sophomore year.
- 29:41SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 29:41SPEAKER_00: To take pictures with whoever's birthday it was.
- 29:43SPEAKER_00: It was like, you have to get that birthday picture.
- 29:46SPEAKER_00: Like it was that serious.
- 29:48SPEAKER_01: It was like influencers with deliverables on Coachella trips.
- 29:50SPEAKER_00: No, seriously.
- 29:51SPEAKER_01: You had to get a photo with the birthday girl.
- 29:53SPEAKER_00: You had to get a photo and you had to tweet it and post it on Instagram.
- 29:56SPEAKER_00: Like it was the birthday.
- 29:58SPEAKER_00: I was looking, well, I was looking through our tweets last night.
- 30:01SPEAKER_00: The birthdays were so serious on Twitter.
- 30:05SPEAKER_00: It was literally like the birthday Olympics.
- 30:07SPEAKER_00: Like you had barely some of these people I tweeted happy birthday, I barely knew.
- 30:11SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, no, but you were tweeting them.
- 30:13SPEAKER_00: Oh.
- 30:14SPEAKER_01: And it's like a it was a mutual respect thing.
- 30:16SPEAKER_01: Like I see you, you see me.
- 30:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, if they tweeted you happy birthday, you had to tweet that.
- 30:20SPEAKER_01: Like it was like I saw this um meme the other day, and it was like, girl, we're grown now.
- 30:24SPEAKER_01: If you don't wish me a happy birthday, I don't care if like I'm not wishing you one.
- 30:28SPEAKER_01: Like it's it's funny, like it, but that's it literally how it was.
- 30:32SPEAKER_01: Like it was very serious.
- 30:33SPEAKER_01: And yeah, so I walk into that room, everyone's singing me happy birthday.
- 30:36SPEAKER_01: Lacey's like, let's take a picture.
- 30:38SPEAKER_01: She posted on Instagram.
- 30:39SPEAKER_01: Person on main feed.
- 30:41SPEAKER_01: Main feed, barely knew each other.
- 30:42SPEAKER_00: They're literally strangers.
- 30:44SPEAKER_01: But not strangers at all.
- 30:46SPEAKER_00: And what was the caption?
- 30:47SPEAKER_01: I have to look at the caption because and also I'm a little woo-woo, so I love to think that like we knew each other in different lives.
- 30:54SPEAKER_00: Well, we de like there's no question about it.
- 30:56SPEAKER_01: There's no question about it.
- 30:57SPEAKER_01: We were we absolutely didn't have a lifetime together.
- 31:00SPEAKER_01: We were farmers together.
- 31:03SPEAKER_01: We were rats together in the bubonic flag.
- 31:06SPEAKER_00: Like we I think multiple in multiple ways.
- 31:09SPEAKER_01: We've been rat terriers together, like in every every form of anything.
- 31:15SPEAKER_00: Like happy birthday, Gabby.
- 31:17SPEAKER_00: I hope you have a great day, pretty.
- 31:19SPEAKER_00: With emojis.
- 31:20SPEAKER_00: And then let me see my fit.
- 31:22SPEAKER_00: Your fit was great.
- 31:23SPEAKER_00: I look like a teacher.
- 31:24SPEAKER_00: I apparently love been loving those baseball tees.
- 31:28SPEAKER_00: Holy.
- 31:31SPEAKER_01: I look like a teacher.
- 31:33SPEAKER_01: I'm giving Haley back in that.
- 31:35SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 31:35SPEAKER_00: I look grown.
- 31:37SPEAKER_00: My backpack's so high on my shoulders anyway.
- 31:40SPEAKER_01: Because that was in.
- 31:41SPEAKER_01: Like, damn.
- 31:42SPEAKER_01: It was like in to have it really high and in to have it really low.
- 31:46SPEAKER_01: Because I would have my North Face backpack all the way down to my butt.
- 31:49SPEAKER_00: Oh, damn.
- 31:50SPEAKER_00: And it would be like between Arizona style and Oklahoma style.
- 31:54SPEAKER_00: You were getting accustomed to like ours were high and yours were low.
- 31:57SPEAKER_01: You were getting accustomed to the new trends.
- 32:00SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 32:00SPEAKER_01: Um, so yeah, that birthday photo, never forget.
- 32:03SPEAKER_01: I think that's so hilarious because we were just so like, yeah, of course, we would take a picture together and post it.
- 32:09SPEAKER_01: Of course, why not?
- 32:09SPEAKER_01: Duh.
- 32:10SPEAKER_01: Like, that's my girl.
- 32:11SPEAKER_01: Mind you, never hung out before.
- 32:13SPEAKER_01: Like, so crazy.
- 32:15SPEAKER_01: But yes.
- 32:16SPEAKER_00: And then never separated from that point.
- 32:18SPEAKER_01: Never separated.
- 32:19SPEAKER_01: Literally, we're together every single day.
- 32:22SPEAKER_01: Like sleepovers on school nights, like we would go to school together.
- 32:25SPEAKER_01: We would it was just, it took over.
- 32:28SPEAKER_01: But one of my favorite memories of when we were in high school was staying the night at Linda's parents' house.
- 32:35SPEAKER_01: The house has now been sold.
- 32:36SPEAKER_01: And we grew up in that house.
- 32:38SPEAKER_01: Like in elementary school before Lacey had moved here, we would be at that house every single weekend.
- 32:44SPEAKER_01: The Perez family was too nice to us.
- 32:47SPEAKER_01: Like they would let us stay over all the time.
- 32:49SPEAKER_01: And we would swim in her pool, but now the house is sold.
- 32:51SPEAKER_01: So it's a little devastating.
- 32:53SPEAKER_01: But so many great memories in that house.
- 32:55SPEAKER_01: And we would sleep in the loft, like in her parents upstairs, and other.
- 33:01SPEAKER_01: Well, Lacey can sing a little.
- 33:03SPEAKER_01: And so we would be like, Oh Lord.
- 33:05SPEAKER_01: We would be like I can't believe we did this.
- 33:08SPEAKER_00: They used to have me sing.
- 33:10SPEAKER_00: And not like literally like dramatic ass songs.
- 33:14SPEAKER_01: Like we would make her sing like I want you to stay by Rihanna.
- 33:22SPEAKER_01: And she would sing it and it would be dead silent.
- 33:25SPEAKER_01: And we'd be like, Okay, Lacey, please sing for us.
- 33:27SPEAKER_01: And she would.
- 33:28SPEAKER_01: It would be dark and she would sing and it was like perfect and amazing, but like, why did we make crying?
- 33:34SPEAKER_00: Why did we literally cry?
- 33:36SPEAKER_00: And why did it happen multiple times?
- 33:38SPEAKER_01: Because Encore, he said yes, like again and again and again.
- 33:42SPEAKER_01: We'd have song requests and she would sing for us.
- 33:45SPEAKER_01: So she's very, very gracious.
- 33:47SPEAKER_01: For your brother, your talents.
- 33:49SPEAKER_01: But now looking back, I'm like, oh my gosh.
- 33:53SPEAKER_01: I wish I had videos of that so bad.
- 33:56SPEAKER_01: But we were so bad when we'd stay at Linda's house.
- 33:58SPEAKER_01: Like we would be hooting and hollering.
- 34:00SPEAKER_00: Obnoxious, screaming, crying, banging, bullying each other.
- 34:06SPEAKER_01: Like it was just too much.
- 34:08SPEAKER_01: Like, but shout out to Linda's parents because they're literally angels.
- 34:13SPEAKER_01: Like that whole family is just amazing.
- 34:15SPEAKER_00: And they never even told us to quiet down well a few times.
- 34:20SPEAKER_01: I remember a few times being like, We're never gonna be allowed back here again.
- 34:23SPEAKER_00: Well, we had trouble on our hands.
- 34:24SPEAKER_00: Casey.
- 34:25SPEAKER_01: Casey, oh Miss Giggle monster, always giggling up a storm.
- 34:31SPEAKER_01: She was always getting us in trouble.
- 34:32SPEAKER_01: And then we would get in trouble when we would stay the night at my house because my sister would work and she'd be like, be quiet.
- 34:38SPEAKER_01: And we'd be like, Oh yeah.
- 34:40SPEAKER_01: It was like jail.
- 34:41SPEAKER_01: Like we had to be dead silent because our rooms like we shared a wall.
- 34:45SPEAKER_01: So just so many little fun memories like that.
- 34:48SPEAKER_01: So many.
- 34:49SPEAKER_01: We graduated high school eventually.
- 34:52SPEAKER_01: We were about to go to college together.
- 34:54SPEAKER_00: We were about to be roommates at OSU.
- 34:58SPEAKER_00: Which, like, I cannot even imagine.
- 35:00SPEAKER_00: Lacey.
- 35:01SPEAKER_00: In another lifetime, we went to college together, but baby, it was never meant to be.
- 35:06SPEAKER_01: Never meant to happen.
- 35:07SPEAKER_01: But we were supposed to be roommates with Breck and our other uh friend from high school.
- 35:13SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 35:13SPEAKER_01: And it just didn't, it did not happen.
- 35:15SPEAKER_01: She ended up moving to San Diego with her dad.
- 35:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I ended up moving to California um right after high school.
- 35:22SPEAKER_00: And tell us a little bit about what you did in California.
- 35:26SPEAKER_01: Remember, everyone was like, Lacey's moving to LA.
- 35:31SPEAKER_00: For years.
- 35:32SPEAKER_00: It was all how's LA?
- 35:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 35:34SPEAKER_00: Like I feel like to some people, like, especially here, it's like anywhere in California, it's LA.
- 35:40SPEAKER_00: Like, never once did I say I was moving to LA or like mention LA in any way, shape, or form.
- 35:45SPEAKER_00: But everyone, like when I would come back and visit, they were like, Oh, you're in LA, right?
- 35:49SPEAKER_00: Like, how's LA?
- 35:50SPEAKER_00: You know, whatever.
- 35:51SPEAKER_01: And my life here was defending her, like being like, she's not in LA.
- 35:56SPEAKER_01: Like, I would have to correct everyone that asked.
- 35:58SPEAKER_01: Because I went to a college where like a lot of our high school friends went too, so it was just constantly like, where's Lacey?
- 36:04SPEAKER_01: Where's Lacey?
- 36:05SPEAKER_01: And you would come to visit me a few times.
- 36:07SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 36:07SPEAKER_00: But but let me just say, before, like, okay, when we did figure out that I was officially moving, etc.
- 36:15SPEAKER_00: etc.
- 36:17SPEAKER_00: We did act like we were both going off to war, and it was like It felt that way.
- 36:22SPEAKER_00: It did, it felt like we were writing letters, we were doing things as if it was our last, like the Instagram post when you left.
- 36:30SPEAKER_01: I was like, goodbye.
- 36:32SPEAKER_00: It felt like the world was ending.
- 36:34SPEAKER_01: It was our world was ending because like um it's like it when you have a best friend that you do everything with, it is so hard to like, especially at that age when you're like 18, yeah, you know that things are about to be so different.
- 36:46SPEAKER_01: You want to hold on to any like piece of familiarity that you have.
- 36:50SPEAKER_00: Our senior year, another piece of this is like me and Gabby did practic I practically lived at Gabby's house senior year.
- 36:57SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 36:57SPEAKER_00: So like we were together non-stop, especially that summer, like, or right before we graduated, like those last few months of high school.
- 37:07SPEAKER_00: Like, like, how else were we supposed to act?
- 37:09SPEAKER_00: No, and we we were those friends that like went to doctor's appointments, went to the like we went everywhere.
- 37:14SPEAKER_01: Everywhere together.
- 37:16SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we were never apart.
- 37:18SPEAKER_01: So when we went to drop you off at the airport.
- 37:20SPEAKER_01: Oh god.
- 37:21SPEAKER_01: That was the worst day ever, though.
- 37:23SPEAKER_01: Like, still it was awful.
- 37:25SPEAKER_01: Like, oh my gosh, and Aubrey was there too.
- 37:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 37:28SPEAKER_01: And we were like crying, it was so sad.
- 37:30SPEAKER_01: Like, we didn't want her to go, but it was for the best.
- 37:33SPEAKER_01: Like, it was you like needed to to live that out, like, and it's ultimately led us here.
- 37:39SPEAKER_00: Reacting like you went to war.
- 37:41SPEAKER_01: Seriously, Phil.
- 37:42SPEAKER_00: But seriously, like, well, thank God we haven't like had to deal with long distance in several years now.
- 37:48SPEAKER_00: But we used to, it was kind of the trenches, like, it really was so sad.
- 37:52SPEAKER_00: Like, oh man.
- 37:54SPEAKER_01: My mom would, I remember, like, through college, I was like really going through it, as most people do in college.
- 38:00SPEAKER_01: Like, you hit that time where it's just like, oh, like, life is meaningless, like, I am partying and doing all these things, and like life is not fulfilling.
- 38:09SPEAKER_01: And my mom, I'll never forget.
- 38:10SPEAKER_01: She was like, I'll fly you out to see Lacey.
- 38:13SPEAKER_01: And that was so sweet.
- 38:14SPEAKER_01: Like, I was like, Are you serious?
- 38:16SPEAKER_01: And those trips that I took like throughout college to San Diego to see Lacey were always so much fun.
- 38:21SPEAKER_00: We did get to see each other, like, thankfully, every few months.
- 38:24SPEAKER_00: Like, I feel like every like six months or so, we would like I would either come here, you would go there.
- 38:30SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 38:30SPEAKER_01: And we made it work.
- 38:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you came to OSC once and stayed with me in my sorority and in the dorm.
- 38:37SPEAKER_01: Twice.
- 38:37SPEAKER_01: Yeah, twice, yeah.
- 38:39SPEAKER_01: And it was just so funny, like seeing us in that environment too, because it's just like a whole different world over there.
- 38:44SPEAKER_00: So um different versions of each other, like right, yes.
- 38:48SPEAKER_01: Um, so when you were in San Diego, you worked at Nordstrom, you made really good friends out there.
- 38:52SPEAKER_00: Yes, I did.
- 38:53SPEAKER_00: Oh, I I love yeah, I have you have the best girls out there ever.
- 39:00SPEAKER_00: And I loved my time there, but so this is what happened.
- 39:03SPEAKER_00: So I was living in San Diego, Gabby was about to graduate um college, and COVID had happened.
- 39:11SPEAKER_00: Yes, COVID happened.
- 39:13SPEAKER_00: My roommate that I lived with in San Diego actually found out that she was moving to Austin, Texas, randomly, and she had grown up, like she was in California her whole life.
- 39:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah, she was a California though.
- 39:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and so her family ended up moving to Austin, and I was like, Oh, what do I do?
- 39:29SPEAKER_00: Like, my roommate was moving.
- 39:31SPEAKER_00: Um, my sister, Aubrey, was originally gonna move to California, like she was like thinking because she was also graduating high school at the same exact time.
- 39:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they were four years apart from Aubrey, so yeah, so it was a lot of transitional things happening, and my sister ended up not wanting to move, and I mean my sister are best friends, obviously.
- 39:50SPEAKER_00: Me and Gabby are best friends.
- 39:52SPEAKER_00: Like, I was like really missing my girls, and I was like, I don't know, this kind of feels like just the perfect time to kind of dip back, and I was really missing so many things.
- 40:03SPEAKER_00: Like, it is crazy to say like I missed Oklahoma, but I really did.
- 40:08SPEAKER_00: Like, I remember this is when I knew, like, I kind of felt a calling because I would be watching like Teen Mom.
- 40:15SPEAKER_00: Like, I would remember the year I moved, I was so obsessed with Teen Mom, and most of their like lives were in like the south, like it was just a lot of trees, a lot of like small, it was like small townshire, like yeah, yeah.
- 40:26SPEAKER_00: And I I was like, I crave that right now.
- 40:28SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm sad.
- 40:29SPEAKER_00: You wanted Coffee Creek, and so ultimately I made the decision to move back to Oklahoma.
- 40:37SPEAKER_01: I will never forget the phone call.
- 40:39SPEAKER_01: You called me, like you were like, Hey, can you talk on the phone?
- 40:42SPEAKER_01: And I was like, Yeah, and I feel like you hadn't even mentioned it a lot, but this is the thing with Lacey, she moves in silence, like she I'll think about things internally for a really long time, and she won't voice it.
- 40:52SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm the opposite.
- 40:53SPEAKER_01: I tell everyone.
- 40:54SPEAKER_01: This is the same with our posting tendencies, too.
- 40:56SPEAKER_01: I post everything, she's selective with what she posts, like so.
- 40:59SPEAKER_01: She had never really expressed, like, hey, I'm thinking about this, but you were like, Hey, can we talk on the phone?
- 41:04SPEAKER_01: And I was like, Yes.
- 41:05SPEAKER_01: And Hannah, my college roommate, was with me, and I was trying to figure out what I was gonna do after college.
- 41:11SPEAKER_01: I had no idea.
- 41:13SPEAKER_01: I was like, I know I'll move back to Oklahoma City, probably get an apartment, get a job, whatever.
- 41:17SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and Lacey was like, So I'm thinking of moving back, and I thought she was pranking me.
- 41:22SPEAKER_01: Like, I was like, Are you serious?
- 41:25SPEAKER_01: Like, I was so happy, like, so happy for me and Aubrey both, and like also like just coming back is like it would it would just be such an exciting time to be that age, like post-college age, like you know, figuring out like adulthood, and so we were like, Well, obviously, we're gonna live together.
- 41:44SPEAKER_01: So we found the apartment that now you're in that's infested with well, not anymore, actually.
- 41:47SPEAKER_01: We need we'll get to that after this.
- 41:50SPEAKER_01: Um, so yeah, she she moved back with her cat, Ivy.
- 41:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you need to talk about Ivy.
- 41:56SPEAKER_00: I know, yeah.
- 41:57SPEAKER_00: When I lived in um San Diego, my roommate and I adopted two cats named Rain and Ivy.
- 42:03SPEAKER_00: Pictures of them as kittens.
- 42:04SPEAKER_00: And yeah, they were just the cutest.
- 42:06SPEAKER_00: They're from Mexico, actually.
- 42:07SPEAKER_00: They were rescued from Tijuana and brushed.
- 42:10SPEAKER_00: Me gente Latino! Like literally.
- 42:13SPEAKER_00: Iverson is from Mexico.
- 42:15SPEAKER_00: And um, yeah, so our Iverson's sister, they weren't actually sister, but they were a bonded pair, meaning they had to go together because they were just so they were perfect together.
- 42:27SPEAKER_00: Um and our baby Rainey, she ended up passing away from um a really like rare but fatal sickness.
- 42:39SPEAKER_00: And so she passed away when she was only oh goodness, I don't even know.
- 42:46SPEAKER_00: Maybe like I got them when they were both like six months, and she was maybe almost a year.
- 42:54SPEAKER_00: And so she did pass away.
- 42:55SPEAKER_00: Um rest in peace rainy and Iverson moved with me to Oklahoma.
- 43:02SPEAKER_01: Ivy made the big move.
- 43:04SPEAKER_01: That was so funny.
- 43:05SPEAKER_01: And I had never met Ivy because there was like a gap with COVID and stuff.
- 43:09SPEAKER_01: Like I had because you got them during COVID type time.
- 43:13SPEAKER_01: Like, so I had never met them, so I was like, I'm gonna meet Ivy for the first time when we're living together.
- 43:19SPEAKER_01: Like, that's so crazy.
- 43:20SPEAKER_01: And I was like getting the apartment somewhat together, trying to figure out what to do.
- 43:25SPEAKER_01: I lived in a furnished apartment in college, so I didn't have like anything.
- 43:29SPEAKER_01: Like we were both starting from scratch because she's literally coming back with a suitcase.
- 43:33SPEAKER_00: Like I only moved with the suitcase.
- 43:35SPEAKER_00: I sold my car.
- 43:36SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 43:36SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, I had like nothing with me.
- 43:39SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it was like an empty apartment.
- 43:41SPEAKER_01: She like rolled up.
- 43:42SPEAKER_01: I'm like, hi, like it's so funny.
- 43:44SPEAKER_01: Like it was it felt so surreal when you came back because I'm like, oh my gosh, now it's like so weird.
- 43:49SPEAKER_01: This is our life.
- 43:50SPEAKER_01: Like it felt like this.
- 43:51SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 43:53SPEAKER_01: But so much fun.
- 43:54SPEAKER_01: So yeah, we lived together for two years.
- 43:56SPEAKER_01: Was it two?
- 43:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 43:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 43:58SPEAKER_01: Two years.
- 43:59SPEAKER_01: And We realized living together, we were like, we're not hanging out as much as we would if we didn't live.
- 44:04SPEAKER_00: We didn't like make plans to do stuff because we were like already together.
- 44:07SPEAKER_01: So in a bad relationship.
- 44:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 44:11SPEAKER_00: Gabby was in a a bad relationship.
- 44:13SPEAKER_00: I was in a really weird when I remember when I first moved back, I actually hate thinking about it.
- 44:18SPEAKER_00: Because it was bad.
- 44:19SPEAKER_00: I was so like anxious and like in this weird place of like, okay, what did I just do?
- 44:26SPEAKER_00: And like it all just happened so so fast.
- 44:28SPEAKER_00: And I feel like I didn't have time to like process it.
- 44:31SPEAKER_00: So we were kind of just like going through the motions.
- 44:34SPEAKER_01: I feel like and we're both forced to get jobs and we're trying to fit like the job market was different here for you than it was in San Diego.
- 44:42SPEAKER_01: You had a job you loved there.
- 44:45SPEAKER_01: And it was it was honestly though, like I appreciate that we went through something like that together because it was I remember having such honest conversations about like we're not defined by what we do, like you were such like a rock for me because I had a job that I hated that like literally made me miserable.
- 45:09SPEAKER_00: And it was trial and error.
- 45:11SPEAKER_01: It was hell, and I was like so just deeply anxious and disturbed by the fact that, like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna have to do this every day for the rest of my life.
- 45:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 45:20SPEAKER_01: And Lacey was such a help in being like, but like it actually isn't like that at all.
- 45:25SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, like we would kind of um have really honest conversations about that, which is so important when you're fresh out of college and like or fresh, like into a new living in a new place and trying to figure it out.
- 45:36SPEAKER_01: We were support systems for one another, so yeah, it was like all meant to happen that way, and we eventually like found our footing when I moved out and lived on my own and found a job that I loved, and I'm in a sector now that I really love, yeah.
- 45:50SPEAKER_01: And um, you found a better situation for you as well.
- 45:54SPEAKER_01: Yes, so it just all happened for a reason, and now I am in an amazing relationship with Mr.
- 46:01SPEAKER_01: Tyler again.
- 46:03SPEAKER_00: He's gonna be like, Oh, you shouted me out on the podcast.
- 46:05SPEAKER_00: I like when people say like Mr.
- 46:07SPEAKER_00: Gabby.
- 46:08SPEAKER_01: I know Mr.
- 46:08SPEAKER_01: Gabby.
- 46:09SPEAKER_01: Oh, he's the best, he really is the best.
- 46:12SPEAKER_01: Um, and then you met Taryn, obviously, so and they're they're really close, so like everything just happened for a reason, and it's so special to think about.
- 46:19SPEAKER_00: Like it is, and I love the phase we're in right now.
- 46:22SPEAKER_01: Me too, which leads us to the podcast.
- 46:24SPEAKER_01: I mean, we do need to talk about some lore with that.
- 46:27SPEAKER_01: So we all throughout the the string of our friendship really started like on I would say three main pillars music, Twilight, and Twitter.
- 46:39SPEAKER_01: Is that fair to say?
- 46:41SPEAKER_00: No, it's very fair to say.
- 46:42SPEAKER_00: It's very fair to say I screenshot this tweet.
- 46:44SPEAKER_00: There was this one tweet that I found.
- 46:48SPEAKER_00: Okay, this is from December 4th, 2014.
- 46:52SPEAKER_00: Gabby tweeted, When Oklahoma looks like the set of a scary movie because of the fog, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point.
- 46:58SPEAKER_00: And I said, or looks like twilight, and I put like 10 exclamation points, and she said, re- she quoted it and said, retweet a ton of exclamation points.
- 47:08SPEAKER_00: Like this is our friendship in a nutshell.
- 47:10SPEAKER_00: That is a that is a few times.
- 47:11SPEAKER_00: We can never stop talking about Twilight.
- 47:13SPEAKER_00: We can never stop talking about the weather, and we can never stop talking about music.
- 47:16SPEAKER_01: No, yeah, that's it's very true.
- 47:18SPEAKER_01: Like three core pillars.
- 47:19SPEAKER_01: So when we lived together, we were like, oh my gosh, we we've always wanted a matching tattoo, and we were trying to figure it out.
- 47:26SPEAKER_01: And for a while, we wanted R and B because Rihanna was her favorite and Beyonce was my favorite, and we love R and B as a genre.
- 47:35SPEAKER_00: We were like, oh my god.
- 47:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but that never really truly felt right, and I'm glad we didn't do that because we were like, eh, like, no, not the right time, whatever.
- 47:44SPEAKER_01: And then eventually we realized we're like, we need to get a rain cloud tattooed because anytime it would rain in California when we were apart, she would send me a text.
- 47:52SPEAKER_01: It's raining here.
- 47:53SPEAKER_01: I would send her a text and be like, it's raining here, so sweet.
- 47:56SPEAKER_01: Like, anytime it would rain, we would let each other know.
- 47:59SPEAKER_01: And then when we lived together and it would rain, it would be like the best day ever.
- 48:03SPEAKER_01: We just both have such an appreciation for precipitation.
- 48:06SPEAKER_00: We really do.
- 48:07SPEAKER_01: So we both have little rain clouds.
- 48:08SPEAKER_01: Lacey has long sleeves, so you can't really see, but I'll put a picture of when we first got them.
- 48:12SPEAKER_01: But there's let me let me roll up my sleeve, but they're so freaking cute.
- 48:18SPEAKER_01: On a rainy day, actually.
- 48:19SPEAKER_01: On a rainy day, it rained when we got them, which was like not planned at all.
- 48:22SPEAKER_01: And that tattoo artist Well, anyways, she's on me up.
- 48:28SPEAKER_00: That was our last and last tattoo from her.
- 48:31SPEAKER_01: That's right, but not the first and last security deposit that was hunting.
- 48:34SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately not.
- 48:35SPEAKER_01: Grace knows that story.
- 48:36SPEAKER_01: Grace knows that all too well.
- 48:39SPEAKER_01: Um so yeah, so we got our tattoos, whatever.
- 48:42SPEAKER_00: When did we get these in 2023?
- 48:44SPEAKER_00: 2023?
- 48:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that sounds right to me.
- 48:46SPEAKER_01: 2023.
- 48:47SPEAKER_00: I think it might have been 2023.
- 48:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 48:49SPEAKER_01: Um, and so yeah, we got to be.
- 48:54SPEAKER_01: That was so cool that we got those, and then we uh when did we start talking about like we should start a podcast?
- 49:02SPEAKER_01: When was that?
- 49:03SPEAKER_00: I think in like 2024, probably maybe like 2024 or 2025, yeah.
- 49:08SPEAKER_00: But really last year we were like, we're gonna do it, we're gonna do it, and then we never did it last year.
- 49:13SPEAKER_01: No, we lost inspiration.
- 49:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we lost a little bit of inspiration, and I think it was like um there was a lot of like self-doubt in my mind, which we talked about this last week, like perception of others and how that can kind of mess with things.
- 49:27SPEAKER_00: And just feeling like your opinion and your voice matters, yeah, like you know, it's like you sometimes feel can feel like what's the point of like my opinion out of all these opinions, and like yeah, I don't know.
- 49:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it can feel like like you're speaking into a void.
- 49:43SPEAKER_01: Exactly, and that's what was keeping us from doing it, and then finally, a few months ago, we were like, let's just sit down and have a business meeting, and something happened where we were like, We're doing that business meeting for sure.
- 49:56SPEAKER_01: Well, you know what really sparked it?
- 49:57SPEAKER_01: Shout out Casey.
- 49:59SPEAKER_01: We were like, What would we name it?
- 50:00SPEAKER_01: Like, what would we even name our podcast?
- 50:02SPEAKER_01: We're trying to think it through, and Casey was like, Well, Rainy Day pod, duh.
- 50:07SPEAKER_01: And we were like, Oh my god.
- 50:09SPEAKER_01: So we start looking and seeing if there are other names that had been taken already.
- 50:14SPEAKER_01: Like, if Rainy Day pod was taken on anything, it wasn't.
- 50:16SPEAKER_01: Like, we had the Instagram.
- 50:18SPEAKER_00: I confirmed the Instagram names on every platform, yeah.
- 50:21SPEAKER_01: I confirmed all of that like a year ago, and so we we had them all claimed, like we were ready to go.
- 50:27SPEAKER_01: And then my mom bought our domain, our URL.
- 50:29SPEAKER_01: So look out for our website eventually because maybe we don't get that popping Rainy Day merch coming in the future.
- 50:35SPEAKER_01: I I would like to use that domain for like our link tree instead of an actual link tree in our bio.
- 50:40SPEAKER_01: But besides the point, so Casey came up with our name, that's why she's gonna be our first guest, and she has the best stories.
- 50:46SPEAKER_01: But um, so yes, we uh came up with the podcast, and then we were like, okay, let's do this.
- 50:52SPEAKER_01: So we got all of our equipment, and I have this, I have a two-bedroom apartment, and this bedroom is literally like there's nothing in here.
- 50:59SPEAKER_01: Like, I mean, just plants.
- 51:01SPEAKER_01: It's an all-purpose room, yeah, all purpose room.
- 51:03SPEAKER_01: So we were like, Well, we have a place to do it, let's just do it.
- 51:07SPEAKER_01: So we have an iPhone, um, some equipment, and a dream, and a dream.
- 51:12SPEAKER_01: And so that's that here we are.
- 51:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 51:14SPEAKER_01: So that's the story of really how it came to be.
- 51:17SPEAKER_01: That's how we got here today.
- 51:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and Ali Mack, one of our friends, helped with creative for all of it.
- 51:25SPEAKER_01: She's amazing and really like spoke life into our dream.
- 51:29SPEAKER_01: Like, I think what we need, well, we're so blessed to have friends that are so encouraging.
- 51:33SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
- 51:34SPEAKER_01: And just so open-minded of like, girls, like, life is too short.
- 51:37SPEAKER_01: Do whatever you want.
- 51:37SPEAKER_00: Like, we don't have friends that are secret haters.
- 51:39SPEAKER_00: No, we don't.
- 51:40SPEAKER_00: We really don't.
- 51:41SPEAKER_00: And it's a blessing.
- 51:42SPEAKER_01: It is such a blessing because they make anything seem like it's possible.
- 51:45SPEAKER_01: And I told them this whenever we came out with our first episode, and it was kind of scary doing so.
- 51:50SPEAKER_01: I was like, nothing is scary when we have friends who are so supportive and so exactly um just like open-minded and encouraging.
- 51:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 51:59SPEAKER_00: So yeah, but yeah, I feel like there's so many little parts to our friendship, but they can unravel be explained.
- 52:08SPEAKER_01: They will unravel because we have stories from when we would go to San Diego and visit each other.
- 52:13SPEAKER_01: We have stories from when she would come visit me in college.
- 52:15SPEAKER_01: In high school, we have so many funny stories, like they're in just little moments of like hilariousness between each other.
- 52:22SPEAKER_01: So those will come out.
- 52:24SPEAKER_01: Ridiculousness, ridiculousness.
- 52:25SPEAKER_01: So those will come out, you know, as we prosper on.
- 52:28SPEAKER_01: But um, yeah, we I guess we can get into favorites.
- 52:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 52:32SPEAKER_00: Our favorites of the week.
- 52:34SPEAKER_01: I uh we are my favorite.
- 52:38SPEAKER_01: Same, same.
- 52:40SPEAKER_01: Um, okay.
- 52:41SPEAKER_01: Well, Ari uh announced her first single.
- 52:44SPEAKER_00: Yes, she did.
- 52:46SPEAKER_01: Well, that's not a favorite.
- 52:47SPEAKER_01: I guess that's a current event, but it is a favorite.
- 52:49SPEAKER_00: It's it's my favorite.
- 52:50SPEAKER_00: And it's my favorite forever, so I cannot wait for that.
- 52:53SPEAKER_00: It'll be out May 28th, right?
- 52:55SPEAKER_00: 29th.
- 52:56SPEAKER_00: 29th?
- 52:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 52:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 52:58SPEAKER_00: Eight is just on my brain because all her announcements have been on the eighth.
- 53:01SPEAKER_01: I said we're entering psychosis because we're gonna be looking at every eight ever, but it was the eighth yesterday and she announced or the day before?
- 53:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 53:11SPEAKER_00: Day before yesterday.
- 53:12SPEAKER_01: No, it was yesterday.
- 53:14SPEAKER_01: Um so I'm really looking forward to that.
- 53:16SPEAKER_01: Cannot wait.
- 53:17SPEAKER_01: Um, okay, so what are you loving right now?
- 53:20SPEAKER_01: What's do you have any songs or anything?
- 53:22SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm loving Michael Jackson, obviously.
- 53:25SPEAKER_00: Um, but I was telling you this the other day, but now after seeing the movie, I need to go listen to like all or even like just his beginning albums, like front to back, because I've never listened front to back.
- 53:39SPEAKER_00: Like I have my like cherry pigs like favorite songs, yeah.
- 53:43SPEAKER_00: But I need to listen front to back and really get into his discography.
- 53:48SPEAKER_00: Um, and then my other media that I've been loving, uh um, Joyce Rice.
- 53:56SPEAKER_00: So she's an RB artist, and we actually saw her open for Lucky Day years ago.
- 54:02SPEAKER_00: And she's been dropping little singles.
- 54:04SPEAKER_00: I think she's coming out with an album, but her singles have been so cute.
- 54:08SPEAKER_00: I feel like you would love them.
- 54:09SPEAKER_00: They're very nostalgic, like they feel like they would be in like an old um like rom-com movie.
- 54:14SPEAKER_01: Love.
- 54:15SPEAKER_00: And so I've been loving them.
- 54:16SPEAKER_00: She dropped two within the past few months: Break Me In, and I think the second one is Crack the Code or something like that.
- 54:23SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 54:24SPEAKER_00: Um, and I've been listening to those a lot.
- 54:26SPEAKER_00: Um I need to listen.
- 54:27SPEAKER_00: So that's really what I've been listening to.
- 54:29SPEAKER_01: Love it.
- 54:30SPEAKER_01: I I think I cut this out last episode because I was like not making sense, but I just now got on the Audrey Hobart train and she's so good.
- 54:41SPEAKER_01: I am loving specifically um a song called Thirst Trap and a song called Um Phoebe.
- 54:48SPEAKER_01: She's so good.
- 54:49SPEAKER_01: I'll play it today at pool day because she's just like so fun.
- 54:52SPEAKER_00: We need to do make our pool day playlist.
- 54:54SPEAKER_00: I know, I know.
- 54:55SPEAKER_01: We I have ours from last year and it's outdated by now, so we need to re-up that.
- 54:59SPEAKER_01: Um, but I'm also really loving this is not um music related, but vintage activewear.
- 55:05SPEAKER_01: I placed an order on eBay yesterday.
- 55:07SPEAKER_01: I made a TikTok being like, someone buy these before I do, baby.
- 55:11SPEAKER_01: I bought all the ones that I want.
- 55:12SPEAKER_01: I'm like, so they are out of stock.
- 55:14SPEAKER_01: But I'm loving vintage activewear because I went thrifting not too long ago, and I think that this is like emerging everywhere.
- 55:21SPEAKER_01: Like, if this is not an original thought, everyone's doing this.
- 55:23SPEAKER_01: Um, but I've just been looking for cotton pieces of workout clothing because it just feels better on my skin, and I love cotton.
- 55:31SPEAKER_01: Like the Skims Cotton Collection is my favorite of all time.
- 55:34SPEAKER_01: So, and I know you're wearing it right now.
- 55:36SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 55:36SPEAKER_01: I can peep that anywhere, and so I've just been looking for cotton pieces a lot more.
- 55:41SPEAKER_01: I don't know why, I just like it a lot.
- 55:42SPEAKER_01: So um, I thrifted some pieces, and then I've just been looking on eBay and really loving them.
- 55:48SPEAKER_01: So yeah, um, and that's pretty much all my favorites.
- 55:52SPEAKER_01: I haven't really been um digesting a whole lot of media this week, to be honest.
- 55:57SPEAKER_01: Me either.
- 55:57SPEAKER_01: This week was weird.
- 55:59SPEAKER_01: Well, you were sick.
- 56:00SPEAKER_00: I got sick, and then I don't know, it was a kind of a weird week, but it went by so fast.
- 56:05SPEAKER_00: I feel like it was Monday then Friday.
- 56:06SPEAKER_01: I know, no, it's true.
- 56:07SPEAKER_01: It was a really fast week.
- 56:09SPEAKER_01: But yeah, anytime that happens, I'm like, thank the Lord.
- 56:11SPEAKER_01: Um but yeah, hopefully next week we'll have more to report on favorites-wise, put y'all on or something.
