0:03
Speaker 1: All right, hopefully this thing is recording.
0:07
Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode of the Top five podcast.
0:12
Speaker 2: Today is another lonely solo episode, just with me with Kaitlin.
0:17
Speaker 2: So I'm not going to number this episode. This will
0:20
Speaker 2: just be a little side thing, a little bonus. Jason Brown,
0:24
Speaker 2: my bestie and my coworker. He's usually my co host
0:28
Speaker 2: on this thing, but he was sick and now he's
0:33
Speaker 2: trying to play catch up, and honestly, he doesn't sound
0:35
Speaker 2: that great, so I don't.
0:36
Speaker 1: Know how delightful his voice would sound.
0:39
Speaker 2: But it's you know, this is your guys's fault, because
0:42
Speaker 2: you said you didn't mind when I did a solo
0:43
Speaker 2: episode and that you would listen.
0:45
Speaker 1: So here I am again. I wanted to.
0:49
Speaker 2: Make sure that I had something to give the Tops
0:51
Speaker 2: this week, and also I want to mention because the
0:55
Speaker 2: last time I did this episode, I dedicated it to
0:58
Speaker 2: our girl Ashley.
0:59
Speaker 1: She is the Top.
1:00
Speaker 2: She's wonderful and beautiful and being a really strong, brave
1:04
Speaker 2: fighter of cancer right now. And actually Jason and I
1:08
Speaker 2: got to meet her and it was so so fun
1:10
Speaker 2: and amazing.
1:11
Speaker 1: We took some photos.
1:12
Speaker 2: I'll make sure with her that we can post them
1:14
Speaker 2: or Ashley, if you're listening, let me know if they're
1:17
Speaker 2: cool to post, but I'll throw.
1:19
Speaker 1: That up on social.
1:20
Speaker 2: It was awesome to get to talk to her, and
1:22
Speaker 2: of course we're all thinking of you and you looks beautiful.
1:26
Speaker 2: You are rocket a girl. So we met her at
1:29
Speaker 2: one of the events that we had for the morning
1:31
Speaker 2: show that we are on. And if for some reason,
1:34
Speaker 2: this is your first episode of the Top five podcasts,
1:37
Speaker 2: it isn't usually like this, Like I mentioned, it is
1:40
Speaker 2: usually me and one of my very best friends, Jason.
1:43
Speaker 2: He's also my coworker, so we spend an insane amount
1:47
Speaker 2: of time together.
1:48
Speaker 1: It's pretty scary.
1:49
Speaker 2: And each week we pick five things that we are
1:52
Speaker 2: obsessed with and one thing that we either crashed out from,
1:58
Speaker 2: cried from, or that we hate because it's the way
2:01
Speaker 2: the world works these days.
2:03
Speaker 1: So, speaking of.
2:06
Speaker 2: These solo episodes and switching it up, I have like
2:10
Speaker 2: a little dream slash idea for the podcast, and I
2:14
Speaker 2: don't know what you guys will think, so obviously let
2:18
Speaker 2: me know because this is an open dialogue. But I
2:21
Speaker 2: kind of want to do a little sub section of
2:25
Speaker 2: the podcast called like righte turn Alert. It's something I
2:29
Speaker 2: always say when I'm doing entertainer reports on the radio
2:33
Speaker 2: when I have to like switch to a story that
2:36
Speaker 2: is completely different from what the last story was, you know,
2:39
Speaker 2: if I have to report on some sort of celebrity
2:43
Speaker 2: death and then I have to go into like, you know,
2:46
Speaker 2: a story about Taylor Sift singing about her boyfriend's you know,
2:50
Speaker 2: would if you know, you know, then sometimes I'll be
2:52
Speaker 2: like WHOA write turn alert because you know, the transition
2:55
Speaker 2: is is crazy, But sometimes you gotta do things like that.
2:57
Speaker 2: So I was thinking of doing like a little sub
2:59
Speaker 2: section of the podcast for maybe heavier topics or things
3:06
Speaker 2: that interest me that don't necessarily fit into the model
3:12
Speaker 2: of the regular podcast. I have been thinking about like
3:16
Speaker 2: different guests that I would want to have on and
3:18
Speaker 2: I don't I don't necessarily want to, you know, start a.
3:21
Speaker 1: Home a podcast like ah, I I just I don't know.
3:24
Speaker 2: So I was I was going back and forth with
3:27
Speaker 2: this woman who wrote a book about OCD, like this
3:30
Speaker 2: is just a little example I grew. I still have it,
3:34
Speaker 2: but I struggle with OCD, and it's just something that
3:36
Speaker 2: I was interested in learning more about. The only issue
3:40
Speaker 2: that I think we may be running into, you guys,
3:44
Speaker 2: is this woman. You know, she she wrote this amazing book.
3:46
Speaker 2: I won't name her because I don't you know, I
3:47
Speaker 2: don't know if she's gonna do the podcast yet or not.
3:49
Speaker 2: But her publicist is like, well, can you send me
3:52
Speaker 2: the podcast? Because sometimes a little people behind the curtain,
3:56
Speaker 2: you know, as an executive producer of a morning show
3:59
Speaker 2: and being a host sun of morning show, like people
4:01
Speaker 2: will send u stuff and say, hey, do you want
4:03
Speaker 2: this for your show? And it's really not a fit.
4:05
Speaker 2: But sometimes I'll be like, hey, you know, I would
4:07
Speaker 2: love for you to come on. I have this podcast,
4:09
Speaker 2: or you know, my coworker has this podcast, YadA YadA.
4:13
Speaker 2: And the problem that we may be running into is
4:15
Speaker 2: that they asked for me to send them the podcast,
4:19
Speaker 2: and I've kind of hesitated because, you know, we get
4:22
Speaker 2: a little naughty, we get a little racy, raunchy, which
4:25
Speaker 2: I probably should get probably, I think i added as syllable.
4:28
Speaker 2: I probably should get over that because I'll like call
4:31
Speaker 2: her daddy, you know.
4:32
Speaker 1: And I'm not, by the way, please.
4:34
Speaker 2: Do not take it as me comparing myself to Alex Kuber,
4:37
Speaker 2: but my point is is that that's a very raunchy
4:39
Speaker 2: sexual podcast. But then she just had like Jane Goodall
4:43
Speaker 2: or IP on her podcast, So maybe that comes along
4:47
Speaker 2: with a notoriety because it seems like everyone wants to
4:50
Speaker 2: get on that podcast, but I am a little shy
4:52
Speaker 2: to send them this podcast. But I can do both,
4:55
Speaker 2: like I can talk about OCD and I can also
4:58
Speaker 2: talk about wood by Taylor Swift. So I don't don't
5:00
Speaker 2: know if you guys would be interested. I'm thinking of
5:02
Speaker 2: doing like a little some special episodes with people that
5:06
Speaker 2: I would love to feature or interview or talk to
5:09
Speaker 2: or have others learn more about. And it doesn't necessarily
5:12
Speaker 2: fit into like the normal format of the podcast.
5:14
Speaker 1: So let me know about that, you know.
5:18
Speaker 2: I think I told you guys, I've already been denied
5:20
Speaker 2: once by like a friend of mine, but she's just
5:24
Speaker 2: a little busy, so.
5:26
Speaker 1: I don't know. We will see. Let me know if
5:28
Speaker 1: you guys want to hear that. All right, So, in
5:30
Speaker 1: terms of what's going on with me lately, before I.
5:35
Speaker 2: Get into my top five, I am supposed to go
5:39
Speaker 2: to Kansas City this weekend with my best friend Hillary.
5:43
Speaker 2: And Hillary, if you're listening to this, which I don't
5:46
Speaker 2: think you do, because I have played a voice note
5:48
Speaker 2: from you and you did not say anything.
5:50
Speaker 1: So I don't think she listened.
5:52
Speaker 2: But if you are, turn it down or turn it off,
5:54
Speaker 2: because I'm about to talk about something that might trust
5:56
Speaker 2: you out.
5:58
Speaker 1: So we are going to Kansas.
6:00
Speaker 2: I'm calling it our boys trip because essentially we're going
6:03
Speaker 2: for football and barbecue and to go to a steakhouse.
6:06
Speaker 2: And it sounds like a boys trip. I don't eat steak,
6:09
Speaker 2: but I'll explain. It's just very funny to me that
6:12
Speaker 2: like this is our little girls' weekend, it sounds more
6:15
Speaker 2: like a boy's weekend. But we were set to leave
6:17
Speaker 2: on Saturday. We are supposed to be going for the
6:19
Speaker 2: Lions and the Chiefs game. And if you don't know,
6:22
Speaker 2: I grew up in Detroit, huge Lions fans. Since the
6:26
Speaker 2: year I was born nineteen ninety one, I was getting
6:28
Speaker 2: taken to these games and I always try to hit
6:32
Speaker 2: one game a year. Now this year shout out to Hillary.
6:35
Speaker 2: She's like, we should go when they play the Chiefs.
6:38
Speaker 2: Great idea, because you know what else, we love We
6:41
Speaker 2: both love.
6:41
Speaker 1: We both love Taylor Allison Swift. So she's like, you
6:44
Speaker 1: want to go? Of course I do. Hell yeah, So
6:47
Speaker 1: we get our tickets.
6:49
Speaker 2: And well I should specify, we get our flights, we
6:53
Speaker 2: work it all out, she ends up having to change
6:55
Speaker 2: her flight.
6:56
Speaker 1: Whatever, Well, el set, we get our hotel.
6:58
Speaker 2: And the entire your time that this has been going on,
7:01
Speaker 2: my boyfriend, who worked in sports, has assured me that
7:06
Speaker 2: he the entire time, he's assured me that he will
7:08
Speaker 2: be able to get us tickets for this game.
7:10
Speaker 1: Now, he's always said, hey.
7:13
Speaker 2: They're not gonna be You're not gonna be on the field,
7:16
Speaker 2: but you will get into the building.
7:18
Speaker 1: And we were cool with that.
7:19
Speaker 2: We're like, hey, if it's you know, if we can
7:20
Speaker 2: get in, we'll sit wherever.
7:22
Speaker 1: We just want to experience the game.
7:24
Speaker 2: I haven't seen Taylor at any games, you know, publicly
7:28
Speaker 2: this year, but maybe we'll get a glimpse of her.
7:30
Speaker 1: Whatever. It's just all very exciting. We're just happy to
7:33
Speaker 1: be there.
7:34
Speaker 2: So he's been awesome in terms of he set us
7:36
Speaker 2: up with someone who runs this very serious tailgate. I
7:39
Speaker 2: actually joined. I was told to join the lat Jay
7:43
Speaker 2: Facebook group. Hillary doesn't have Facebook, so I had to
7:46
Speaker 2: do it.
7:47
Speaker 1: But it's a very.
7:48
Speaker 2: Serious till getting operation they have in Kansas City, and
7:52
Speaker 2: it sounds super fun. Everyone's super kind in the group.
7:54
Speaker 2: I was a little nervous to say that we were
7:56
Speaker 2: going to root on the Lions, but a ton of
7:59
Speaker 2: other people were doing and I saw and everyone's being
8:01
Speaker 2: super welcoming. I don't know if we would be the
8:03
Speaker 2: same way in Detroit, but hey, shout out to the
8:06
Speaker 2: Chiefs fans because they are super inclusive. As of right now, however,
8:12
Speaker 2: I do not have tickets to the game in my possession,
8:16
Speaker 2: and our other goal was to eat at Travis Kelsey
8:19
Speaker 2: and Patrick Mahomes Steakhouse, and I do not have a
8:23
Speaker 2: reservation for that. So I'm going in to this trip
8:26
Speaker 2: really raw, really blind, and I'm a panicing. I'm panicking
8:29
Speaker 2: a little bit, and my boyfriend's still I assure you,
8:31
Speaker 2: you're gonna have the tickets.
8:32
Speaker 1: You're gonna have the tickets, but I don't operate this
8:34
Speaker 1: way to where.
8:35
Speaker 2: I'm I don't know when you're listening to this, but
8:37
Speaker 2: as of right now, it is Thursday, and I am
8:39
Speaker 2: leaving on Saturday, and I'm panicking a little bit because
8:42
Speaker 2: I have not told Hillary we don't have the tickets
8:43
Speaker 2: in our possession, So essentially, I'm gonna have to spend
8:46
Speaker 2: a fucking for fortune if my boyfriend does not send
8:52
Speaker 2: them to me, but he swears up and down that
8:55
Speaker 2: he is going to send them. So fingers crossed on
8:58
Speaker 2: that one. As for the steakhouse, and what is it?
9:02
Speaker 1: Fifteen eighty seven?
9:04
Speaker 2: Hold on, let me see yep, fifteen eighty seven prime. Now,
9:08
Speaker 2: I don't eat steak. Cows are my favorite animal. I
9:12
Speaker 2: wonder if I ever put cow's my top five.
9:14
Speaker 1: I do not eat steak. But Hillary loves a good steak.
9:18
Speaker 2: And also we both love Taylor and Travis and the
9:22
Speaker 2: whole thing, and we're like, we got to get into
9:24
Speaker 2: that restaurant. So a couple months ago, they open their reservations.
9:29
Speaker 2: You guys, I can't talk today. Why should be different
9:31
Speaker 2: than any other day. But they opened their reservations and
9:34
Speaker 2: it was like a sneaker drop. Like Hillary was working,
9:37
Speaker 2: she's a nurse. Shout out to all nurses. I absolutely
9:41
Speaker 2: love you and I'm eternally grateful to you forever.
9:45
Speaker 1: But she was working.
9:45
Speaker 2: So I had to sit on this website and.
9:48
Speaker 1: It was crazy.
9:49
Speaker 2: It was like trying to get exclusive tickets somewhere. I
9:53
Speaker 2: was not able to get a reservation. I kept refreshing, refreshing, refreshing,
9:56
Speaker 2: and finally I was able to get one on the
9:59
Speaker 2: desired evening that we wanted to go, which is after
10:01
Speaker 2: the game, because we were thinking, hey, maybe.
10:02
Speaker 1: The players will go there afterwards.
10:05
Speaker 2: And I got a nine pm reservation, and then I
10:08
Speaker 2: was told, because it's a night game, by both my
10:11
Speaker 2: boyfriend and Hillary and everyone else, you're not going to
10:14
Speaker 2: be able to get to this restaurant by nine pm,
10:16
Speaker 2: So I sadly had to give up that reservation because like,
10:19
Speaker 2: what if the game is really crazy?
10:21
Speaker 1: YadA YadA YadA. Of course, the dream.
10:23
Speaker 2: Would be that they all go there after the game
10:26
Speaker 2: and we, you know, meet Taylor Swift and become best
10:28
Speaker 2: friends with her, and then we're her bridesmaids.
10:31
Speaker 1: YadA, YadA, YadA. That's the dream.
10:32
Speaker 2: But I think that they're smart because it looks like
10:34
Speaker 2: the restaurant closes at eleven, so they probably close it off,
10:39
Speaker 2: make it private to host them there. So I don't know,
10:42
Speaker 2: don't underestimate us, but I don't know if that's going
10:44
Speaker 2: to work out. So now I'm trying to finagle our
10:47
Speaker 2: way in there on Saturday, or at least into the bar,
10:50
Speaker 2: just trying to you know, get in there and experience it.
10:54
Speaker 2: So we're going in really chaotic to this trip that
10:58
Speaker 2: we're supposed to do.
10:58
Speaker 1: All these things.
10:59
Speaker 2: Don't come count us out just yet, and I'll give
11:01
Speaker 2: an update. But yeah, I don't know which me luck
11:05
Speaker 2: because I need a win. I absolutely need a win.
11:09
Speaker 2: As for my little cute little top five, my solo
11:12
Speaker 2: top five of the week, the first one, I gotta
11:16
Speaker 2: do the Lions. I absolutely have to do the Lions.
11:19
Speaker 2: I know that we probably have a ton of Bears
11:21
Speaker 2: fans listening.
11:22
Speaker 1: And yes, I live in Chicago.
11:23
Speaker 2: I have lived in Chicago for I think we're approaching
11:28
Speaker 2: ten years.
11:29
Speaker 1: So I love the city.
11:30
Speaker 2: I'm very defensive of this city and.
11:34
Speaker 1: I get it.
11:35
Speaker 2: However, if the Lions and the Bears play each other,
11:37
Speaker 2: I gotta be a Lions girl.
11:39
Speaker 1: Like I said, before I.
11:39
Speaker 2: Could lift my head up, I was going to Lions
11:43
Speaker 2: games my dad's side, really big Lions fans. They had
11:49
Speaker 2: a sweet there at the Silver Dome. If you're a
11:51
Speaker 2: Detroit listener, shout out to the Silver Dome. It was
11:53
Speaker 2: ugly place where the Lions used to play, and they
11:57
Speaker 2: actually blew it up when they were done with it.
11:58
Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy. Look it up.
11:59
Speaker 2: If you did not know about that, but I've been
12:04
Speaker 2: a Lions fan throw in there, and I'm not a huge.
12:06
Speaker 1: Like sports girl.
12:08
Speaker 2: I played some sports and I love going to live
12:11
Speaker 2: sporting events, but my thing is kind of football. I
12:14
Speaker 2: stick to watching the Lions also, you know, Michigan State,
12:18
Speaker 2: but that's really the sport that I know the most about,
12:21
Speaker 2: and I still don't you know, I would never put
12:23
Speaker 2: my knowledge up against anyone, but I just love the Lions,
12:26
Speaker 2: and I think it's really awesome. Like we you know, well,
12:29
Speaker 2: this sport's not awesome, but we have been bad for
12:31
Speaker 2: so long, never never even made it to a super Bowl.
12:34
Speaker 1: We got really closed.
12:36
Speaker 2: Last year, I brought my grandma's ashes to the bar
12:39
Speaker 2: and lost in the playoffs of the forty nine ers.
12:42
Speaker 1: But I just, you know, I have to shout out
12:45
Speaker 1: to my Lions.
12:46
Speaker 2: And I really love that a lot of Bears fans
12:50
Speaker 2: come up to me if they know me from the
12:52
Speaker 2: show or whatever, and they tell me that they're rooting
12:54
Speaker 2: for the Lions even though they're Bears fan. They're rooting
12:56
Speaker 2: for the underdogs. And to that, I say, I also
12:58
Speaker 2: root for the Bears when they're not playing the Lions.
13:01
Speaker 2: But I do think that I think America like wants it.
13:05
Speaker 2: When we got close cash last year, it really felt
13:07
Speaker 2: like everyone was rooting for us, the underdogs, and I
13:11
Speaker 2: don't know, shout out to the Lions, love them, shout
13:14
Speaker 2: out special shout out to Dan Campbell. I think we
13:16
Speaker 2: have the best coach in the NFL, and I'm strictly
13:18
Speaker 2: speaking about just like he's the best person ever.
13:22
Speaker 1: Listened to his speech.
13:23
Speaker 2: About biting kneecaps if you somehow missed that, but shout
13:27
Speaker 2: out to the Detroit Lions. And I really wanted to
13:30
Speaker 2: wear a very cute jacket that I have been waiting
13:34
Speaker 2: to wear this weekend, but it's gonna be eighty in
13:36
Speaker 2: Kansas City, so I don't think I'm gonna be wearing that,
13:38
Speaker 2: which kind of sucks.
13:39
Speaker 1: But shout out to them.
13:41
Speaker 2: Okay, moving on to my number two, and of course
13:46
Speaker 2: at nauseum.
13:47
Speaker 1: We've talked about it. Jason and I are we are swifties.
13:51
Speaker 1: We love our girl.
13:52
Speaker 2: We've been going through it because you know, anytime she
13:54
Speaker 2: does anything, this woman cannot breathe without people just getting
13:59
Speaker 2: angry by and I really do think that it's not
14:03
Speaker 2: super fair. I think a lot of things she does
14:06
Speaker 2: other people do, and I don't know.
14:08
Speaker 1: It's just like not received the same, and I just
14:10
Speaker 1: feel like.
14:12
Speaker 2: It's difficult for me to see because like there are
14:14
Speaker 2: artists that like have literally I'm not singling anyone out
14:17
Speaker 2: laid their hands on women. They have done horrible, horrible things,
14:23
Speaker 2: and like she just kind of vibes and keeps like
14:26
Speaker 2: she's very I don't know if she keeps to herself,
14:28
Speaker 2: not right now, but it's very unproblematic, and so it's
14:30
Speaker 2: just it bothers me, you know. Even she has a
14:35
Speaker 2: dis track on the album allegedly, and that was after
14:38
Speaker 2: someone picked at her and picked at her and picked
14:40
Speaker 2: at her and she responded and then I see her
14:42
Speaker 2: getting called a mean girl, where as when Kendrick Lamar
14:44
Speaker 2: does it to Drake, we love it.
14:45
Speaker 1: So I don't know.
14:46
Speaker 2: That's It's been a hard week for me because that's
14:48
Speaker 2: been taking me off a little bit. But for the Swifties,
14:51
Speaker 2: and I think this is a safe space to talk
14:53
Speaker 2: about it. People have been asking my favorite song on
14:56
Speaker 2: the album, So I'm gonna tell you, and that's gonna
15:00
Speaker 2: be my number two on my top five. Ruin the
15:02
Speaker 2: Friendship is my absolute favorite song off this album for
15:05
Speaker 2: so many reasons. And I think it's left on. But
15:09
Speaker 2: I personally love seventies music. I don't know, I just
15:14
Speaker 2: have always been drawn to that era, the fashion, the music,
15:19
Speaker 2: just all of it. I really really really love the seventies,
15:22
Speaker 2: So it sounds like a little seventies bop. That's one
15:24
Speaker 2: of the reasons. I also love that we all guessed
15:29
Speaker 2: it was about one thing, and it was completely about
15:31
Speaker 2: something different. And I think that this song, and it's
15:35
Speaker 2: not just because she is talking about her high school
15:38
Speaker 2: experience at that moment. In this song, she's looking back
15:43
Speaker 2: at it, and I'm sure people say, oh, you know,
15:47
Speaker 2: why are you still singing out high school? You're thirty five,
15:49
Speaker 2: But she was talking about it and saying, it's something
15:52
Speaker 2: that I like to revisit sometimes when I have now
15:57
Speaker 2: grown and have all this perspective, and I thought it
15:59
Speaker 2: was interesting. But I think that song is the most
16:02
Speaker 2: reminiscent of her classic style of writing and her.
16:09
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, it just it sounds like old
16:12
Speaker 1: her but knew her. I love it.
16:15
Speaker 2: And if you haven't listened or you don't know, the
16:18
Speaker 2: song is about a friend that she lost when she
16:23
Speaker 2: well she knew them when she was in high school.
16:24
Speaker 1: They were best best.
16:25
Speaker 2: Friends, and there were points where there was like a
16:29
Speaker 2: will they won't they situation. She may have had a
16:30
Speaker 2: little crush and lost track.
16:35
Speaker 1: And then he ended up passing away.
16:38
Speaker 2: And this song is so tailor because you can really
16:43
Speaker 2: picture the entire song she's she's so descriptive about, Okay,
16:49
Speaker 2: we would we would listen to this in your brother's jeep,
16:51
Speaker 2: and we would do that, and we would do that.
16:53
Speaker 2: And I just feel like that's such a shared experience,
16:54
Speaker 2: like these these moments in high school, and especially these
16:57
Speaker 2: loves and these crushes and these things that happen to us,
17:00
Speaker 2: they stick with us forever, and I think we can
17:02
Speaker 2: all picture our own experience when she's singing that. And
17:06
Speaker 2: that's what I love is that she gets so specific
17:12
Speaker 2: with feelings and descriptions of the scene that you really
17:18
Speaker 2: can picture it. I also love, now this is for
17:22
Speaker 2: a very sad reason, but when she starts a song
17:24
Speaker 2: in one direction and she does the kind of the
17:26
Speaker 2: gut punch and ties it all together at the end,
17:29
Speaker 2: you kind of find out it's maybe not where you
17:31
Speaker 2: thought it was headed or what it was.
17:33
Speaker 1: And I thought it was.
17:34
Speaker 2: A really beautiful way to honor her friend in a
17:37
Speaker 2: way that maybe you wouldn't have thought of.
17:41
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm so attached to the song,
17:43
Speaker 1: obviously because of all of those reasons.
17:45
Speaker 2: I like the beat, and I also have lost friends
17:49
Speaker 2: from high school, and I think it's a really interesting,
17:53
Speaker 2: unique experience because sometimes you can be so close to
17:56
Speaker 2: someone in high school and then life kind of comes
17:59
Speaker 2: at you and you go to different colleges, you move
18:03
Speaker 2: to a different city, and it's very normal to lose touch,
18:06
Speaker 2: but then you lose this person and it still hurts
18:09
Speaker 2: as if they're in your life every day. And I
18:14
Speaker 2: also really liked how during the movie that she released,
18:18
Speaker 2: she talked about how the song was about regretting not
18:23
Speaker 2: doing something or how you should take a chance, but
18:26
Speaker 2: she never specifically said the friend that it was about.
18:29
Speaker 2: Even though we know the friend that it was about.
18:31
Speaker 2: We you know, people are making like really sad videos
18:34
Speaker 2: on TikTok and online and it's the same friend.
18:38
Speaker 1: I believe that she sang Forever Winter about.
18:42
Speaker 2: And I feel like someone else might have said that
18:45
Speaker 2: there was another song about him, but I really respected
18:48
Speaker 2: that she she didn't get too specific on why she
18:51
Speaker 2: wrote it, but it was very it's very obvious that
18:53
Speaker 2: she wrote it for him. We got an Abigail Abigail
18:57
Speaker 2: mentioned in there, which is her high school bestie. There's
18:59
Speaker 2: so very close, which I think says a lot about her.
19:02
Speaker 2: And we got a fifty cent mentioned, which he was
19:05
Speaker 2: really really excited about.
19:07
Speaker 1: He posted about it. So I love that song. If
19:10
Speaker 1: you don't love it as much, don't sleep on it.
19:12
Speaker 2: I just think it's like a very classic tailor song
19:15
Speaker 2: and an album that you know, she may be trying
19:17
Speaker 2: different things, it may be a different style, and I
19:20
Speaker 2: love so much about her and respect so much about her,
19:23
Speaker 2: but I think that that's like a very classic slept
19:25
Speaker 2: on Taylor song. And I will move on now from
19:29
Speaker 2: Taylor as I'm sitting here in her sweatsuit that.
19:33
Speaker 1: She sent to the radio station.
19:34
Speaker 2: It is, you know, historically sometimes she hasn't made good merch,
19:38
Speaker 2: but this, this merch is amazing. She sends it all
19:40
Speaker 2: in an extra large which is how I prefer my clothes.
19:42
Speaker 2: But these basketball shorts are so cute and so comfortable,
19:45
Speaker 2: and I have the matching sweatshirt if you want a picture.
19:47
Speaker 2: What's going on with me right now?
19:49
Speaker 1: All right?
19:49
Speaker 2: Moving on, because I could talk about her for hours,
19:52
Speaker 2: and I will not torture you with that. And I
19:56
Speaker 2: don't remember if I did this last week with Jason,
19:59
Speaker 2: so forgive me if I did.
20:00
Speaker 1: I'm kind of spinning right now.
20:02
Speaker 2: But I have been watching Pop Culture Jeopardy with Colin
20:06
Speaker 2: jos now as someone who absolutely loves Colin Joe's I
20:10
Speaker 2: think we could update is hysterical. I think that I know.
20:14
Speaker 2: I think he's funny. I really like him. I don't
20:18
Speaker 2: know how I feel about him hosting, and that's not
20:20
Speaker 2: necessarily why I love this.
20:22
Speaker 1: I think I don't know. I don't know how I
20:25
Speaker 1: feel about him hosting. To be completely honest.
20:27
Speaker 2: But I am so bad at regular Jeopardy and the
20:31
Speaker 2: people are so smart and they go so fast that
20:35
Speaker 2: I love this show because I have.
20:38
Speaker 1: Been killing it when I've been playing it along with
20:40
Speaker 1: the TV.
20:40
Speaker 2: And now my new dream is to go on Pop
20:44
Speaker 2: Culture Jeopardy with Jason.
20:46
Speaker 1: And one other person.
20:47
Speaker 2: I actually made my boyfriend audition to go on and
20:50
Speaker 2: be on my team, and he did not pass the
20:52
Speaker 2: audition because he kept reading to say what is and
20:54
Speaker 2: who is? But it's on Prime and if you're someone
20:58
Speaker 2: who's like I not good at Jeopardy, I'm not gonna
21:02
Speaker 2: trivia or whatever, but you know your pop culture stuff,
21:04
Speaker 2: you'll feel it's really fun to play along, and maybe
21:08
Speaker 2: even it'd be fun like if you had friends over
21:10
Speaker 2: to play at a party. I don't know if that's
21:12
Speaker 2: that's weird to say, but I'm obsessed with pop culture.
21:15
Speaker 2: Jeopardy and my new de Lulu vision that I'm gonna
21:18
Speaker 2: go on and I'm gonna win. Okay, my next on
21:22
Speaker 2: my top five my number three. And this is going
21:27
Speaker 2: to sound a little local and a little bougie. So,
21:29
Speaker 2: like I mentioned, I live in Chicago. I don't know
21:33
Speaker 2: where you're listening from. But by the way I just
21:36
Speaker 2: said that word, I'm sure you can tell that I
21:37
Speaker 2: am from the Midwest, from Michigan. But I live in Chicago,
21:40
Speaker 2: and there's a restaurant here that is a nicer restaurant.
21:44
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's downtown and it's called Guilt Bar.
21:47
Speaker 2: But there's a very specific reason that they are on
21:50
Speaker 2: my top five, and it is how they treated my dog.
21:55
Speaker 2: So my friend Casey, who I've talked about, and I
21:58
Speaker 2: know she listens to shout out Casey whenever you listen
22:00
Speaker 2: to this. She is She's a great friend. She is
22:04
Speaker 2: wonderful and we made plans a little while ago to
22:09
Speaker 2: get happy hour and she was like, you know, Gilbar
22:13
Speaker 2: has an amazing happy hour. So if it's a restaurant
22:16
Speaker 2: that's like you're like, okay, that's too expensive. I can't
22:18
Speaker 2: swing that. They actually really do have a good happy hour,
22:21
Speaker 2: and like it's more affordable. They have really good snackys
22:27
Speaker 2: on there, and we were able to eat outside, so
22:29
Speaker 2: wonderful vibes.
22:30
Speaker 1: Shout out to them.
22:31
Speaker 2: But I was like, Okay, I want to go, but
22:34
Speaker 2: I really want to bring Willie or dog because she
22:37
Speaker 2: wasn't home and so brought her to Guilbar. And the
22:42
Speaker 2: way that the staff treated her like that, I will
22:47
Speaker 2: be a fan and a customer for life.
22:49
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you.
22:50
Speaker 2: Get what you pay for because it's a more expensive restaurant,
22:54
Speaker 2: but they treated her so amazing. Every single server and
22:57
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you have to do this if there's
22:59
Speaker 2: a dog around, but every single server acknowledged her. She
23:03
Speaker 2: I think probably got a bowl of water before we
23:05
Speaker 2: even got our drinks, and you know, they kept commenting
23:10
Speaker 2: on how cute she was and intending to her. But
23:13
Speaker 2: one of the waitresses came over at one point and asked, hey,
23:18
Speaker 2: can I bring her some bone marrow, which, if you
23:23
Speaker 2: know me, you know I don't eat cows, so that's,
23:25
Speaker 2: you know, that's a little tough for me to stomach. However,
23:27
Speaker 2: I know that that is a dog's dream and I
23:30
Speaker 2: know that miss Willie deserves it. And I said absolutely,
23:33
Speaker 2: Now I know that they is it that they can't
23:37
Speaker 2: eat raw or they can't eat cooked.
23:38
Speaker 1: I know that they can't eat I think they can
23:40
Speaker 1: eat cooked. I think it has to be raw.
23:43
Speaker 2: Whichever, the one that they're allowed to eat is what
23:46
Speaker 2: they gave her. And she was the happiest little dog.
23:51
Speaker 2: So while we were having our happy hour, she was
23:53
Speaker 2: having hers.
23:54
Speaker 1: It was so sweet.
23:54
Speaker 2: They put it on a plate, like a very nice
23:57
Speaker 2: plate of theirs, and she didn't want to grab it
24:00
Speaker 2: off the plate, so then they remove the plate, and
24:02
Speaker 2: then she grabbed it from the ground and was looking
24:04
Speaker 2: that thing forever until we sadly had to take it
24:06
Speaker 2: away from her, and she was not too happy with me,
24:08
Speaker 2: but she's a good girl and she let me.
24:09
Speaker 1: But I've just never been somewhere where.
24:14
Speaker 2: They have given a dog bone marrow like bone marrow
24:17
Speaker 2: I feel like is only offered at bougie restaurants.
24:20
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong, Like I said, I don't
24:21
Speaker 1: eat beef, But just the way that they treated her,
24:24
Speaker 1: I just I don't.
24:25
Speaker 2: Know, like if you are kind to her and do
24:28
Speaker 2: that for her, you will be good with me forever.
24:32
Speaker 2: And that just goes towards what I always say is like,
24:36
Speaker 2: you know a lot of businesses do things for the
24:39
Speaker 2: short term, like am I giving something for free?
24:41
Speaker 1: Are we losing money? You know?
24:43
Speaker 2: But those little things that that places do are why
24:47
Speaker 2: that they stay open for so long and why people
24:49
Speaker 2: keep coming back. We were talking about on the Morning
24:52
Speaker 2: show about a wedding venue who the groom literally died.
24:57
Speaker 2: Who you know in this poor bride, you know, she
25:00
Speaker 2: lost not only her fiance, but the venue would not
25:06
Speaker 2: give her her money back after the groom died. And
25:09
Speaker 2: I just feel like, Okay, the venue is like, well,
25:11
Speaker 2: we're bankrupt. We can't you know, we can't give you
25:13
Speaker 2: this money back. But you know, working with her and
25:17
Speaker 2: helping her out in that situation. You know, if I'm
25:21
Speaker 2: an owner, I would say, hey, not only can you
25:23
Speaker 2: have your money back, we'll try to fill it because
25:24
Speaker 2: there's months away. You know, Also, what can we can
25:28
Speaker 2: we offer you flowers? Can we help with the like
25:30
Speaker 2: anything that I could do in the service industry because
25:35
Speaker 2: people remember that stuff. And also I think like we're
25:38
Speaker 2: losing our basic humanity and I think that that should
25:40
Speaker 2: come above all else, above business whatever. And I understand
25:43
Speaker 2: people need to make money and make businesses.
25:45
Speaker 1: But also if you are.
25:46
Speaker 2: A venue, a wedding venue, and you are a bankrupt,
25:50
Speaker 2: you are doing something wrong because they charge an arm
25:53
Speaker 2: and a leg for.
25:55
Speaker 1: You, guys, I cannot talk.
25:56
Speaker 2: I sound drunk for brides, and so what's going on
26:00
Speaker 2: with y'all that you are bankrupt?
26:01
Speaker 1: It is expensive to get married, and I don't.
26:03
Speaker 2: Understand like you're using the same stuff, so you know,
26:06
Speaker 2: a little wild? And number five on my top five
26:11
Speaker 2: is my soda stream. I don't know if you guys
26:15
Speaker 2: have heard of the soda stream, and I don't know
26:18
Speaker 2: if anyone even talks about them anymore.
26:21
Speaker 1: I feel like I never hear about it. But I
26:23
Speaker 1: am a very big Coca Cola.
26:26
Speaker 2: Fan, and I since I was little, I feel like
26:31
Speaker 2: my nana was giving me coke to settle my stomach
26:34
Speaker 2: if I was sick, if I you know, anytime I
26:36
Speaker 2: didn't feel good and I feel like it's still to
26:38
Speaker 2: this day. It's one of the only things that cures
26:41
Speaker 2: my if I'm sick, if I'm hungover, if.
26:43
Speaker 1: I need a little hug. I just love a Coca Cola.
26:46
Speaker 1: I don't care. I love it.
26:47
Speaker 2: I know, excuse me, it's not the best for me,
26:49
Speaker 2: but huge Coca Cola girl.
26:52
Speaker 1: But you can't have coke all the time. You can't.
26:55
Speaker 2: And sometimes I found myself just just having some because
26:58
Speaker 2: I needed bubbles.
26:59
Speaker 1: And then I moved on and I'm like, Okay, I'm.
27:00
Speaker 2: Only going to do sparkling water unless i'm cigareing over
27:03
Speaker 2: and really need a Coca Cola, or sometimes, honestly, first
27:06
Speaker 2: thing in the morning, I need one when I'm waking
27:08
Speaker 2: up so early. But I switched to sparkling water, and it,
27:13
Speaker 2: honestly kind of was doing the trick a little bit.
27:16
Speaker 2: But you know, I was paying for sparkling water every
27:19
Speaker 2: damn time. So last Christmas, I remember that my stepdad
27:22
Speaker 2: and I could still hear the noise of him putting
27:24
Speaker 2: the carbonation into the thing. He always used to use
27:27
Speaker 2: our soda stream at home to make his and.
27:33
Speaker 1: He's sober.
27:34
Speaker 2: So if you're anything, if you're if you're an addict
27:36
Speaker 2: of any sort, you know that, Like sometimes when you're sober,
27:39
Speaker 2: we're transferring addictions.
27:40
Speaker 1: A little bit.
27:41
Speaker 2: So we're drinking a lot of beverages, we're eating a
27:44
Speaker 2: lot of candy. I have a lot of friends who
27:47
Speaker 2: are in recovery, and that's kind of a thing. And
27:48
Speaker 2: so he was always making his damn soda water and
27:52
Speaker 2: I thought about it.
27:52
Speaker 1: I asked for one for Christmas.
27:54
Speaker 2: Long story short, and I feel like we have saved
27:56
Speaker 2: so much damn money from the soda stream.
28:00
Speaker 1: It's so cheap.
28:01
Speaker 2: You buy the machine and then you can buy little
28:04
Speaker 2: flavor packets. I just do you know, lemon or whatever
28:07
Speaker 2: we have, or sometimes like a little liquid THCA drink
28:10
Speaker 2: and I, you know what I'm saying, a little flavor
28:12
Speaker 2: one of those.
28:13
Speaker 1: And I feel like we've saved so much.
28:15
Speaker 2: You just have to refill the co two little cartridges cartridges.
28:20
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, please bear with me, you guys. I'm
28:22
Speaker 2: going too fast, But I just feel like it's really
28:25
Speaker 2: worth it. I really love my damn soda stream. And
28:28
Speaker 2: I ran out of the cartridges recently and I didn't
28:32
Speaker 2: have it and ordered a bunch of Pellegrino from Capudo's market,
28:38
Speaker 2: which I've also talked about on here, and I just
28:40
Speaker 2: like it was. It was very flat, like it wasn't
28:42
Speaker 2: giving what it was supposed to give. And with this
28:43
Speaker 2: soda stream you can control how much carbonation you put
28:46
Speaker 2: in it. And I'm a weirdo. I want it to burn.
28:48
Speaker 2: I want it to hurt like when it's going down.
28:50
Speaker 2: So shout out to Soda Stream or any of those machines.
28:53
Speaker 2: I do think if you drink a lot of sparkling water,
28:56
Speaker 2: it's very much worth it. They also sell little things
28:59
Speaker 2: where you can make a homemade pop or whatever, but
29:03
Speaker 2: I'm partial to just like the plane soda water. So
29:07
Speaker 2: that is my lonely, my sad, lonely Top five. Hopefully
29:11
Speaker 2: Jason will feel better and be back next week.
29:14
Speaker 1: Also, he did schedule his.
29:19
Speaker 2: Knee surgery, which is I know is something that we've
29:21
Speaker 2: talked about and so he does have that on the books.
29:24
Speaker 2: He's going to be getting it in December, I think,
29:26
Speaker 2: so that he can be back for when he goes
29:29
Speaker 2: to Turks and Kikos, which I don't know if we've
29:30
Speaker 2: talked about yet, but we will. As for my crash out, I.
29:37
Speaker 1: Don't know why I am like this.
29:40
Speaker 2: I am so good at advocating for other people in
29:43
Speaker 2: any way, shape or form.
29:44
Speaker 1: I am.
29:46
Speaker 2: I'm a type two on the Enneagram, which I've talked
29:49
Speaker 2: about as well.
29:49
Speaker 1: It's a personality test.
29:50
Speaker 2: And if you know anything about the Enneagram, like I'm
29:53
Speaker 2: called that, my my number is called the helper.
29:56
Speaker 1: I very much get my and this is not a
29:59
Speaker 1: flex because I I wasn't.
30:00
Speaker 2: But I very much get my self esteem and feel
30:04
Speaker 2: like I'm doing what I'm supposed to do if I
30:07
Speaker 2: am helping or if I'm of service to someone else
30:10
Speaker 2: or some other cause. I don't know why, it's just
30:14
Speaker 2: the way that I feel best about myself. And if
30:17
Speaker 2: I'm at my lowest points, doing something to like help
30:22
Speaker 2: another situation just makes me feel better. And I'm so
30:26
Speaker 2: good at advocating for other people, but not as much
30:29
Speaker 2: for myself. And I really struggle with that, and I
30:31
Speaker 2: know that a lot of other women struggle with that.
30:33
Speaker 2: In terms of the nail salon, and I don't know
30:36
Speaker 2: why I'm like this. I have truly been in there
30:40
Speaker 2: and they have given me, you know, third degree burns
30:43
Speaker 2: with the damn hot towel.
30:45
Speaker 1: I will tell them, no, the temperature is fine. They
30:47
Speaker 1: have burned my feet with the water. No, the temperature
30:50
Speaker 1: is fine.
30:51
Speaker 2: They have literally made me bleed, and I'm like, no,
30:55
Speaker 2: it doesn't hurt, even though it's stinging so damn bad.
30:58
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm like this kind of stressing
31:00
Speaker 2: out because I got my nails done last week. I
31:03
Speaker 2: do dip on my nails regular on my toes, and
31:06
Speaker 2: usually when I do that, my nails can last about
31:09
Speaker 2: a month.
31:09
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of growout, but it's just.
31:11
Speaker 2: It's for for when I'm busy and for my I'm
31:16
Speaker 2: not patient.
31:16
Speaker 1: I'm not really able to wait to get my damn
31:18
Speaker 1: nails done.
31:19
Speaker 2: I also chip my nails so quickly, so for four
31:23
Speaker 2: excuse me, for me, for my lifestyle.
31:25
Speaker 1: The dip and getting my toes done last me a month.
31:30
Speaker 2: But I noticed that, and they do the place I
31:32
Speaker 2: go to shout out top quote in Almaselle, they do
31:37
Speaker 2: shellac on top of the dip so it lasts longer.
31:41
Speaker 1: And I noticed that my shellac started.
31:44
Speaker 2: Chipping on top of one of the nails, and so
31:46
Speaker 2: I think that that means that I'm having a broken
31:48
Speaker 2: nail soon in my future, and I don't want it
31:50
Speaker 2: to break when I'm out of town.
31:51
Speaker 1: I also chipped one of my big toes.
31:54
Speaker 2: And since I'm only a week out and usually it
31:57
Speaker 2: lasts me a month, I want to go back. I
31:59
Speaker 2: will tip them again. I will pay them again and
32:01
Speaker 2: ask them.
32:01
Speaker 1: To fix it. But tell me why I'm so terrified.
32:04
Speaker 2: To go ask them to do that. I think it's
32:08
Speaker 2: within my right. I also I'm offering to pay. But
32:10
Speaker 2: I am sitting here and I'm working up the courage
32:14
Speaker 2: to go back in there and ask them to fix
32:15
Speaker 2: two nails.
32:16
Speaker 1: And I'm absolutely shaking my boots about it. And I
32:19
Speaker 1: don't know why. I do not know why.
32:22
Speaker 2: Now, if Jason broke one of his nails and he
32:24
Speaker 2: needed to go, I would speak up for him.
32:26
Speaker 1: If Jason didn't like food he ordered a restaurant, I
32:28
Speaker 1: would speak up for him.
32:29
Speaker 2: Me.
32:30
Speaker 1: No, I would.
32:31
Speaker 2: I would force feed myself anything they brought me at
32:33
Speaker 2: a restaurant. So I don't know why I'm like that.
32:37
Speaker 2: And I've also found myself crashing out just about what
32:42
Speaker 2: I observe as And this is not just as a fan,
32:45
Speaker 2: what I observe Taylor go through as a female female artist, versus.
32:50
Speaker 1: What I observe as not even.
32:52
Speaker 2: Just male artists though, but like other artists go through,
32:55
Speaker 2: and the way that she gets picked apart and people's
32:57
Speaker 2: obsession with not allowing her to exis is really something
33:01
Speaker 2: that I think she'd be studied. I think it's really
33:04
Speaker 2: odd the way that people approach Jason and I about
33:08
Speaker 2: being a fan of her, like what's up with your girl?
33:10
Speaker 2: Like I just feel like there's an air of aggression.
33:13
Speaker 2: And we just really found something that makes us very
33:16
Speaker 2: happy and love her, and she's a good person and
33:20
Speaker 2: she does a lot for the world, and I just
33:22
Speaker 2: I don't understand why people don't keep the same energy.
33:25
Speaker 2: So those are my two little crash outs. And also
33:29
Speaker 2: just the constant anxiety of not knowing if.
33:31
Speaker 1: I'm going to this lines game or if.
33:34
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to pay two million dollars to get
33:36
Speaker 2: in because thank you, Taylor Swift.
33:38
Speaker 1: Usually games go down before they are played. Tickets for games, however,
33:42
Speaker 1: you Nida make prices for everything go up. God love you.
33:48
Speaker 2: So those are my crash outs. And I would love
33:52
Speaker 2: for you guys to let me know if you would
33:56
Speaker 2: be interested in the Right Turn Alert little mini section
34:00
Speaker 2: of this podcast, if you're interested in having guests that
34:04
Speaker 2: aren't necessarily like the fun like fluffy guests and yeah,
34:08
Speaker 2: I don't know, just let me know how we're feeling
34:11
Speaker 2: and hopefully Jason will be back. Also, you can let
34:13
Speaker 2: me know dream guests that we can try to seek
34:16
Speaker 2: out and maybe I can make that happen for you.
34:18
Speaker 2: We're still wanting to do a live event. With Jason's
34:21
Speaker 2: surgery and everything that's going on, that's proving difficult, but
34:25
Speaker 2: I promise we will do that at some point. And
34:29
Speaker 2: I really realized that I should be teasing our socials
34:34
Speaker 2: at the end of each podcast and asking you all
34:36

34:42

34:44
Speaker 2: if you could leave stars. I know that that is
34:47
Speaker 2: helping us get noticed. It's also probably helping us get
34:49
Speaker 2: noticed that I finally figured out how to do the
34:51
Speaker 2: hashtags properly when I post this, because I was doing
34:55
Speaker 2: them incorrectly.
34:56
Speaker 1: Because I'm learning as we go.
