- 0:31Speaker 1: I went to a couple cookouts, watched some soccer, went
- 0:37Speaker 1: to a Dodgers game.
- 0:38Speaker 2: I had a cute too little weekend.
- 0:40Speaker 1: It was I also, if you can hear if I
- 0:44Speaker 1: sound a little funny, I came from the dentist this
- 0:47Speaker 1: morning because I am on round three of in bizzi Line.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Round three.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Why so, Mimi, Well, the first one wasn't in Biziligne.
- 0:56Speaker 2: The first one was.
- 0:58Speaker 3: The the one at Macy's.
- 1:02Speaker 1: I forget the other one, yeah, the purple one. So
- 1:05Speaker 1: the first one was the purple one and it helped,
- 1:08Speaker 1: but it didn't fix it because it wasn't with a dentist.
- 1:10Speaker 1: So it didn't fix exactly what I wanted to fix.
- 1:12Speaker 1: The second one was with the dentist, but I didn't
- 1:14Speaker 1: get the permanent retainer in and so my teeth just
- 1:20Speaker 1: like to wiggle mine too. And so this is the
- 1:22Speaker 1: third time, and the third time we're gonna get it right.
- 1:24Speaker 1: But you guys are gonna have to deal with a
- 1:25Speaker 1: little bit of a lip because I'm wearing these all right. Also,
- 1:30Speaker 1: the last time I got it, I was still doing heard,
- 1:35Speaker 1: so I was on air for three hours a day
- 1:37Speaker 1: when I wasn't wearing it. And I also, you know,
- 1:40Speaker 1: you don't wear it when you eat or drink, so
- 1:41Speaker 1: basically four hours of the day I wasn't wearing it,
- 1:43Speaker 1: so I had to wear it for longer, which was
- 1:46Speaker 1: such a pain in the ass. So sorry, if I
- 1:48Speaker 1: sound a little weird, I'll get used to it.
- 1:52Speaker 2: And I have the like extendos too, you got the
- 1:55Speaker 2: full package. They're called attachments.
- 1:58Speaker 1: But anyway, so that's why I sound a little funny
- 2:01Speaker 1: and look a little funny probably too. But thanks for
- 2:03Speaker 1: hanging out with us. Hope you enjoyed the holiday weekends.
- 2:07Speaker 1: What did you get into, Hayley.
- 2:09Speaker 3: I was camping. Well, I like to consider it glamping.
- 2:12Speaker 3: I was not in attent, okay, I was not among dirt.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:17Speaker 3: So you went in a very furnished you went to
- 2:19Speaker 3: a cabin, was an RV, there were cabins. It was
- 2:22Speaker 3: like a resort, honestly, Like there was a water park,
- 2:26Speaker 3: you could launch your jet skis, your boats, restaurant, barn,
- 2:30Speaker 3: all the things. So I'm very Americana, you will speaking
- 2:35Speaker 3: of on fourth of July. So on Saturday, there was
- 2:38Speaker 3: this woman interrogating everybody in their camp site. So how
- 2:43Speaker 3: it's set up is you have like a little it's
- 2:45Speaker 3: like a little driveway. So if that's your RV space,
- 2:47Speaker 3: you have your RV and then you've got like a
- 2:49Speaker 3: little patio area, or if that's your cabin, you've got
- 2:52Speaker 3: your cabin in a patio. But everyone has a sight, okay.
- 2:55Speaker 3: So she's going up to people on their sites who
- 2:58Speaker 3: are playing music, mining their business and cussing them out
- 3:01Speaker 3: about the music that they're playing and saying they're not American. Like.
- 3:04Speaker 3: So she started with the Spanish family that was playing bad.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Bunny said that this is effing America. The hell are
- 3:11Speaker 3: they doing here? They need to leave? Why are they
- 3:13Speaker 3: playing bad? Bunny he's a communist. Did you see a
- 3:16Speaker 3: Super Bowl performance? I have a black daughter in law.
- 3:20Speaker 3: He's racist, not a.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Black daughter in law.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Okay, all these things, cussing them out, yes, right, Karen.
- 3:31Speaker 3: I didn't witness the conversation. I heard screaming, couldn't figure
- 3:34Speaker 3: out who she was yelling at, like during the entail
- 3:37Speaker 3: end of it, right, talk to the people. A couple
- 3:40Speaker 3: hours later, well, a few hours after that, I'm in
- 3:42Speaker 3: the shower. She's now messing with the family next to us,
- 3:46Speaker 3: who's an Indian family, and they were playing Indian music,
- 3:48Speaker 3: which I thought was lovely. It was upbeat, it felt
- 3:51Speaker 3: like hip hop. It just was the different language, right,
- 3:54Speaker 3: same thing. F you, this is America, you're not American. Like,
- 3:59Speaker 3: get the f out of this is camp site, all
- 4:01Speaker 3: of these things, and I like run out in my towel,
- 4:04Speaker 3: and I'm like hitting my family, like yo, like, go
- 4:07Speaker 3: see what's going on. Go see what's going on. Because
- 4:08Speaker 3: I'm the type of person I pray that these situations
- 4:12Speaker 3: happen to me.
- 4:13Speaker 2: I do not because I like my freedom.
- 4:16Speaker 3: And these people were turning off their music. No, they
- 4:20Speaker 3: were letting they were being bullied by this woman. Okay,
- 4:23Speaker 3: turning the music off, abiding by her made up rules.
- 4:28Speaker 3: And first of all, what do you mean not American
- 4:30Speaker 3: like people minding their business, enjoying their family, being safe.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Well, I mean the goal of a Karen really the
- 4:38Speaker 1: purpose is to be in other people's business, like to
- 4:41Speaker 1: be in business that is not yours, which is something
- 4:44Speaker 1: I personally have never understood because I have enough on
- 4:47Speaker 1: my hands with my own business to be in other
- 4:49Speaker 1: people's business.
- 4:51Speaker 2: It's just not interesting to me.
- 4:52Speaker 1: And if this, if this situation is not impeding on
- 4:55Speaker 1: your experience, like if they're not playing music so loud
- 4:58Speaker 1: no one else can hear their music, then why are
- 5:01Speaker 1: you bothering them?
- 5:03Speaker 2: Also, both of her.
- 5:04Speaker 1: To assume in America that this is not going to
- 5:08Speaker 1: be considered a threat, because that's that's what I would assume,
- 5:11Speaker 1: is that I'm being threatened. I'm not turning off anybody's music.
- 5:16Speaker 2: I think that.
- 5:17Speaker 1: The conversation about who is was I'm ssuming this is
- 5:20Speaker 1: a white woman?
- 5:21Speaker 3: No, who's hispanic? Yep, I don't know the origin, but
- 5:27Speaker 3: she was not white?
- 5:28Speaker 2: Okay? Well right?
- 5:32Speaker 1: The ones that think that they're white are beyond my comprehension,
- 5:36Speaker 1: Like you got you're finding out that you're not slowly
- 5:38Speaker 1: but surely the whites are letting you know you're not
- 5:41Speaker 1: one of them. I do not understand the obsession with
- 5:45Speaker 1: the proximity to whiteness.
- 5:46Speaker 2: It's very very weird to me.
- 5:49Speaker 1: It's very dangerous, and it's it's felt so very silly,
- 5:52Speaker 1: because a big part of what's happening in the US,
- 5:55Speaker 1: particularly with Ice, is.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Very should be very much let you know that they
- 6:00Speaker 2: don't think that you're white.
- 6:02Speaker 1: I mean beyond that though, while she's costplaying white and
- 6:05Speaker 1: participating in Karen activity, the idea that.
- 6:10Speaker 2: One anybody owes you anything on any.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Particular day, like the fourth of July, you can play
- 6:17Speaker 1: like there's not some law that you.
- 6:19Speaker 2: What is American music anyway? What is American music? Urban?
- 6:24Speaker 3: I huh, I was playing spin that, I was playing
- 6:28Speaker 3: me some coy La ray. I had some kindred going
- 6:30Speaker 3: with right, Like what.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Is American music?
- 6:33Speaker 1: First of all, that they can't be playing bad bunny
- 6:36Speaker 1: in Indian music and America is about being a melting
- 6:41Speaker 1: pot like that is the entire points of the country.
- 6:46Speaker 1: And this constant conversation about who is American and who
- 6:49Speaker 1: is an American and acting American and being proud of
- 6:52Speaker 1: being American is exhausting.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Again. I don't have these conversations with human beings in real.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Life because I have thankfully curated a group of humans
- 7:03Speaker 1: around me that can read books. So I really don't
- 7:07Speaker 1: ever have to have these conversations. And I would absolutely
- 7:10Speaker 1: obserate anyone who bothered to try and come up to
- 7:13Speaker 1: me and have this conversation. But I have a very
- 7:15Speaker 1: good fuck off face. It's very effective. I exude fuck
- 7:20Speaker 1: off energy when I don't want to interact with someone
- 7:23Speaker 1: or when I want something to happen, like I'm a witch.
- 7:26Speaker 3: Well, I think people know who to mess with and
- 7:29Speaker 3: who not to mess with.
- 7:30Speaker 1: They do, but I don't like that because that's me.
- 7:32Speaker 1: That's bully behavior. And the way that these people get
- 7:35Speaker 1: away with it is by targeting people who they know
- 7:39Speaker 1: don't want any problems and will submit to their ridiculous,
- 7:44Speaker 1: absurd demands. Like I'm the If she came over, I
- 7:47Speaker 1: would turn the music up louder. I would turn it
- 7:49Speaker 1: up so loud to drown her out. At the very least,
- 7:53Speaker 1: what is she going to do? At the very least,
- 7:54Speaker 1: what are you going to do? What are you going
- 7:56Speaker 1: to do?
- 7:58Speaker 3: I was praying she was gonna come up to me.
- 8:00Speaker 2: She didn't know we are nons.
- 8:05Speaker 3: It may not been a physical lesson, but she needed
- 8:07Speaker 3: to learn, like, you can't just control everything.
- 8:09Speaker 1: But when people submit to people like that, they empower
- 8:13Speaker 1: them to continue that behavior, which is sad.
- 8:17Speaker 2: But fuck that lady. I hope she sounded a terrible dare.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I was wild. Also on the campsite, when did
- 8:23Speaker 3: parents stop supervising their children? Like it's still the nineties
- 8:28Speaker 3: and everything is aokay? Because when I tell you there
- 8:30Speaker 3: were two and three and one year old little toddlers
- 8:32Speaker 3: on their little toddler scooters just roam in the campsite
- 8:35Speaker 3: and their parents were nowhere to be found.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Isn't that what you're supposed to be doing at camp?
- 8:39Speaker 3: Here's the thing. When you drive into this campsite, it's
- 8:42Speaker 3: not like security, like anyone can drive it. You don't
- 8:45Speaker 3: know what's in their car. I don't know if you're
- 8:47Speaker 3: a predator. I don't know if you're just a regular camper.
- 8:50Speaker 3: My kid is not running off alone.
- 8:52Speaker 2: I think, But your kid isn't with other kids? Right?
- 8:56Speaker 3: True? But okay, then he made friends with the kids
- 9:00Speaker 3: next door, right, And I still was behind the scooters.
- 9:03Speaker 2: See, I don't know. Hey, I don't to them on
- 9:05Speaker 2: the other side on this.
- 9:06Speaker 1: I think them on the other side on this, you
- 9:08Speaker 1: twenty twenty six parents, you do too much, okay.
- 9:11Speaker 3: If as a predator on the other side plan like there.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Camping there, probably is. The odds are not in our favor, okay,
- 9:18Speaker 1: And we're learning more and more every day that they're
- 9:20Speaker 1: not in our favorite. Are our kids our when we
- 9:24Speaker 1: when I was.
- 9:25Speaker 2: A kid, I.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Was given very clear instructions on if I valued my life,
- 9:33Speaker 1: how to behave and not from other people, from what
- 9:36Speaker 1: would happened to me in my own home.
- 9:39Speaker 2: But misbehaved, we were.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Left alone at home, We roamed the streets, We did
- 9:46Speaker 1: all types of dangerous shit all day long, and some
- 9:50Speaker 1: of us made it and some of us did it, okay,
- 9:52Speaker 1: but nothing has changed. I think twenty twenty six parents
- 9:56Speaker 1: know too much and they researched too much. Like I
- 9:59Speaker 1: have friends who have had babies recently, and I've straight
- 10:02Speaker 1: up told him, like, I'm not going on this anti
- 10:04Speaker 1: vax raw milk.
- 10:06Speaker 3: I I went down that hall.
- 10:08Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck what you are. Not a doctor,
- 10:11Speaker 2: I don't.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Give a fuck what you think about anything. You don't
- 10:15Speaker 1: know shit. You don't know more shit than the last
- 10:18Speaker 1: generation knew. Just stop it, Stop it, you guys overwhelm
- 10:23Speaker 1: yourself with information. The kids have to skin their knees, Okay,
- 10:28Speaker 1: they've got to climb a tree, They've got to get
- 10:30Speaker 1: in some dirt.
- 10:31Speaker 2: That's the problem.
- 10:32Speaker 1: They're all insulated and like, listen, I'm not saying that
- 10:35Speaker 1: you should let your kids go play by a lake
- 10:37Speaker 1: if they can't swim or not. Keep an eye on them, right, like,
- 10:40Speaker 1: you keep an eye on them, but man like, well.
- 10:44Speaker 3: When he hit that corner with them kids on the
- 10:46Speaker 3: electric scooters and Aiden's trying to and I could no
- 10:48Speaker 3: longer see him the way my track ears came, I
- 10:52Speaker 3: don't know.
- 10:54Speaker 1: You guys did not make it seem like it's fun
- 10:56Speaker 1: experience because kids, kids are constant like, they are constantly watched.
- 11:02Speaker 1: They can't have red dye, right, they can't have a
- 11:05Speaker 1: Sodie pop.
- 11:08Speaker 2: It's too much.
- 11:09Speaker 3: When you guys get rest, I don't.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Our parents didn't give a fuck. They were like, get
- 11:14Speaker 1: out of the house, don't come back until it's dark out.
- 11:16Speaker 1: I don't care what you do.
- 11:17Speaker 3: I mean, that was me, That was me, But I
- 11:19Speaker 3: knew the shit I got into. And Aiden is square
- 11:22Speaker 3: you cause he's a child.
- 11:24Speaker 2: That's what You were a.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Square once and then you got unsquared by going out
- 11:27Speaker 1: and doing unsquare stuff.
- 11:29Speaker 3: I was a little less square at six.
- 11:32Speaker 2: He's sick.
- 11:33Speaker 1: What do you mean you were less square. We're not
- 11:35Speaker 1: talking about a sixteen year old. Also, that doesn't even matter.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Like you have to you have to be able to
- 11:42Speaker 1: make mistakes. You've got to be able to consume something.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Drink out of a hose, drink some hose water. Okay,
- 11:49Speaker 1: eat some mud pie. They'll be fine.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Yeah. I brought suitcases to the campsite. I had two suitcases.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Oh my god.
- 11:56Speaker 1: See, you're the problem. I'm just saying, keep an eye
- 11:59Speaker 1: on your kids. I think he should keep eye on
- 12:01Speaker 1: your kids. But I do think that twenty twenty six
- 12:03Speaker 1: parents are doing too much. We have a mutual friend
- 12:06Speaker 1: who has a child who is six feet tall.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Yeah, that man.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Can stay at home by himself. Don't touch the stove. Okay,
- 12:16Speaker 1: you got a cell phone, you got cameras, you got
- 12:19Speaker 1: a fucking alarm system, you got a dog. The fuck
- 12:23Speaker 1: he's just gonna sit there and play video games. Damn
- 12:26Speaker 1: you can't go to dinner for three hours.
- 12:27Speaker 3: I'll ease up at twelve, but right now, well he's six.
- 12:32Speaker 2: You shouldn't ease up at six. But I'm just saying,
- 12:34Speaker 2: like he can go out.
- 12:36Speaker 1: The point of going to a campsite is so he
- 12:38Speaker 1: can go do camp shit.
- 12:39Speaker 3: No, yeah, I was just with him.
- 12:43Speaker 2: I was a baking.
- 12:44Speaker 1: I don't think you should leave your child alone in
- 12:46Speaker 1: the woods. Okay, that's not what I'm suggesting. I'm just
- 12:48Speaker 1: suggesting keeping an eye on them while allowing them.
- 12:52Speaker 2: To you know, like we went to we went to
- 12:55Speaker 2: the woods and just ran. I mean, I had poison
- 12:59Speaker 2: ivy every.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Like clockwork. I got poison Sumac once. I don't remember.
- 13:06Speaker 1: I don't recommend that you had. You had a yeah, awful,
- 13:11Speaker 1: what is that? It's a step up from uh, poison ivy.
- 13:15Speaker 1: I looked like the guy from the Goonies for real,
- 13:19Speaker 1: you guys, that's what I look like. My whole face
- 13:22Speaker 1: was like like hitch to insert a right, I have
- 13:26Speaker 1: a photo summer.
- 13:27Speaker 2: It was literally insane.
- 13:29Speaker 1: But you need that, you need to you need to
- 13:31Speaker 1: go outside in the woods, not too far from your parents. Okay,
- 13:34Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything crazy. I'm just saying, like, man,
- 13:38Speaker 1: there are some things from the old school that we
- 13:41Speaker 1: could We could run, we could run back, we could
- 13:44Speaker 1: spin the block on. And like we constantly complained about
- 13:47Speaker 1: screen time and them getting sucked into AI and not
- 13:53Speaker 1: being able to interact with other humans. Like part of
- 13:55Speaker 1: that was like going camping and meeting some kids and
- 13:59Speaker 1: like you know, building a dirt fort or whatever. Yeah,
- 14:03Speaker 1: you know they need to do that. Yeah, without worrying
- 14:06Speaker 1: about their cuticles. They'll be fine. And maybe they eat
- 14:10Speaker 1: like a you know, a popsicle that isn't organic.
- 14:15Speaker 3: I'll do uh, I'll try it out.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I'm not parents shaming you.
- 14:18Speaker 1: I'm just saying I get pitched on a child at
- 14:22Speaker 1: least once a week, and like it doesn't sound appealing,
- 14:26Speaker 1: sounds like sounds like double a work.
- 14:28Speaker 3: It's stressful, it's stressful.
- 14:30Speaker 2: What else is gonna Uh?
- 14:32Speaker 3: Did you see Cardi B's interview with CNN?
- 14:34Speaker 2: I did I did our good cis first of.
- 14:37Speaker 3: All, love Cardi. She love Cardi no wrong in my eyes.
- 14:41Speaker 3: I love that she said that she wanted to give
- 14:44Speaker 3: Black Americans their flowers, especially this weekend, because she feels
- 14:48Speaker 3: that they've paved the way for her family. And many
- 14:50Speaker 3: Caribbean immigrants to succeed in the US. She did also
- 14:54Speaker 3: express her concern about efforts to erase history, then stopped
- 14:58Speaker 3: herself because she didn't want to get in trouble and
- 15:00Speaker 3: get too political, which I'm my girl, like it's.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Fine, everything is political.
- 15:06Speaker 3: I just love that she stands on business and she
- 15:10Speaker 3: says what people don't say out loud, and she said
- 15:12Speaker 3: it at Essence Fest fourth of July weekend. I feel
- 15:16Speaker 3: it's important for people to remember that. I think people
- 15:18Speaker 3: get confused with like African American, Afro latinaban.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Like yeah, I mean, there's there's a very large, untold,
- 15:33Speaker 1: to her point, untold history about the slave trade where
- 15:37Speaker 1: slaves were taken.
- 15:38Speaker 2: We never talk about Brazil.
- 15:40Speaker 1: We don't talk a lot about the slave trade into
- 15:43Speaker 1: the Caribbean. We don't talk about, uh, you know, the
- 15:46Speaker 1: Haitian Revolution like that. We don't we don't talk about
- 15:49Speaker 1: the relationship between all of these countries, between the transatlantic
- 15:54Speaker 1: slave trade and how that in colonialism shifted the entire world.
- 15:59Speaker 2: But like most people aren't really interested in that.
- 16:01Speaker 1: And when it comes to the states, particularly like the
- 16:05Speaker 1: United States and not all of the Americas, which is
- 16:07Speaker 1: I think something that has been exciting for people to
- 16:10Speaker 1: learn that there are some other places in the Americas,
- 16:14Speaker 1: not just the United States of America. If you've been
- 16:16Speaker 1: following any of the World Cup, I feel like people
- 16:18Speaker 1: got a little education on that.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean history is important to her point.
- 16:23Speaker 1: What I love that CARTI remains steadfast in talking about
- 16:28Speaker 1: these things. Is part of the reason why they're racing
- 16:33Speaker 1: history outside of education in general, is because if you
- 16:36Speaker 1: know history, if you study history, if you're interested in
- 16:38Speaker 1: history and learning it.
- 16:41Speaker 2: It opens your eyes to a lot of different.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Reasons why the way things are the way that they are.
- 16:49Speaker 1: I love history. I love learning about history. The more
- 16:53Speaker 1: you learn about history, sometimes the anger the more angry
- 16:56Speaker 1: you become, the more aware you become, the more questions
- 17:00Speaker 1: you ask. An uneducated population is an easier population to control.
- 17:05Speaker 2: It's an easier population.
- 17:06Speaker 1: To gaslight, it's an easier population to manipulate because if
- 17:12Speaker 1: you aren't asking questions, if you don't know the truth,
- 17:15Speaker 1: if you don't know how things were and how things
- 17:17Speaker 1: came to be, then it's very easy for them to
- 17:20Speaker 1: say brown people are the reason why you don't have jobs.
- 17:24Speaker 1: It's very easy for them to say that there is.
- 17:28Speaker 1: There's a difference in the way that Latinas matter or
- 17:32Speaker 1: Latinos matter in the United.
- 17:34Speaker 2: States from the way that black people do. I mean the.
- 17:36Speaker 1: Story that you're telling earlier about this Mexican or likely
- 17:39Speaker 1: Mexican woman running around at a campsite telling people they're
- 17:42Speaker 1: not American, like Mitch, don't let I show up, We'll
- 17:47Speaker 1: send them right to you. So the lack of awareness,
- 17:51Speaker 1: the manipulation to this sort of like nationalists mentality that
- 17:58Speaker 1: somehow we are all each other's enemy and the elites
- 18:02Speaker 1: are not is very easy to pitch because people don't
- 18:07Speaker 1: want to know the truth.
- 18:08Speaker 2: It's easy.
- 18:09Speaker 1: It's like when people complain about politics and they're like, oh,
- 18:11Speaker 1: like I just don't want to talk about.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Politics, like maybe everything is political.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Yeah, And in these times, sitting back and saying that
- 18:19Speaker 1: you're not political is either saying that you are complicit,
- 18:23Speaker 1: which is not something to be proud of, or that
- 18:26Speaker 1: you're benefiting from everything that's happening, which usually it's pretty
- 18:30Speaker 1: obvious in most cases from people that say things like that, Yeah,
- 18:33Speaker 1: it can be exhausting, Yes you should tap out sometimes,
- 18:36Speaker 1: but it's also important that if you are a person
- 18:39Speaker 1: that has any kind of education or interest in it
- 18:43Speaker 1: in the way that Cardi does. Because I don't think
- 18:44Speaker 1: that we should only look to celebrities for political opinions
- 18:48Speaker 1: or for truth. But if you are a celebrity, or
- 18:51Speaker 1: you're someone with a platform that feels passionate about it,
- 18:53Speaker 1: then you should use it. I mean, I don't pretend
- 18:56Speaker 1: to know everything that's going on at all times, but
- 18:57Speaker 1: I certainly care.
- 18:58Speaker 2: A lot about it.
- 19:00Speaker 1: And when I'm educated or when I feel passionate about something,
- 19:03Speaker 1: I talk about it.
- 19:03Speaker 2: And I think that's important.
- 19:05Speaker 3: I think so too, And I don't think you should stop.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Uh speaking of American did you hear about the American
- 19:12Speaker 3: Royal wedding?
- 19:14Speaker 2: Is that what they're calling this?
- 19:15Speaker 3: Yes, which is we'll get there. But so Taylor Swift
- 19:18Speaker 3: and Travis Kelce, for those of you who may not know,
- 19:21Speaker 3: we're married over the weekend at about a thousand guests
- 19:26Speaker 3: at Madison Square Garden, insane phones were taken, obviously. So
- 19:30Speaker 3: I'm sure we will see this televis somewhere in the future,
- 19:33Speaker 3: is my prediction. I'm sure it's going to be in
- 19:35Speaker 3: a documentary that.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Hasn't even occurred to me.
- 19:37Speaker 3: That was my first thought. When they said they took
- 19:39Speaker 3: their phones. Oh they're filming, she records everything.
- 19:43Speaker 2: A documentary about the wedding.
- 19:45Speaker 3: It's got to be in.
- 19:47Speaker 1: I mean, I think taking the phones is fair. Most
- 19:49Speaker 1: celebrities either cover people's phones or ask them not to
- 19:53Speaker 1: take photos, which in this case, like asking is is
- 19:57Speaker 1: not enough, Like you do have to take people's phones,
- 20:01Speaker 1: especially what do they have a thousand people there? Yeah,
- 20:04Speaker 1: that's too many people to trust that they're some leaked footage. Yeah,
- 20:10Speaker 1: so they were right to take their phones. But wow,
- 20:12Speaker 1: it hadn't occurred to me that they might be.
- 20:14Speaker 3: That's my prediction. I will see what happens, will follow up. Okay,
- 20:19Speaker 3: My thing is, since when did they become the American
- 20:24Speaker 3: royal couple to have an American royal wedding, Like, we
- 20:27Speaker 3: don't even have royals here.
- 20:28Speaker 1: We don't have royals here, no kings, no kings allowed. Yeah,
- 20:33Speaker 1: I didn't.
- 20:33Speaker 2: I didn't. I did not agree to this. I did not.
- 20:37Speaker 2: I did not agree to the to the royal title.
- 20:40Speaker 1: I will say I've thought a lot about this wedding,
- 20:42Speaker 1: obviously because it's been absolutely everywhere.
- 20:48Speaker 2: It's not what I would have done.
- 20:50Speaker 1: I am a pretty private person and I did have
- 20:55Speaker 1: a big wedding when I was married two hundred and fifty,
- 20:59Speaker 1: which is a lot.
- 21:00Speaker 2: It's a lot, it's a lot, it's a big wedding.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Having done that, I would not want to have a
- 21:06Speaker 1: big wedding again. If I got remarried and the person
- 21:11Speaker 1: I was marrying wanted to have a big wedding, I.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Would try to talk to the about a bit. If
- 21:18Speaker 2: one hundred percent, I would alope. Yeah, yeah, if it's
- 21:21Speaker 2: up to me, I'm eloping one hundred percent.
- 21:23Speaker 3: Would you elope and then have like a party after
- 21:25Speaker 3: or just a lope?
- 21:26Speaker 1: No, just a lobek. Yeah, it's no, no party, no
- 21:29Speaker 1: need for all that. I'm celebrated quite a bit.
- 21:32Speaker 2: I don't. I don't need that. But but I I
- 21:36Speaker 2: thought about it because.
- 21:38Speaker 1: I'm like, is it unfair that I am judging this,
- 21:44Speaker 1: you know choice when I.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Had a big wedding, because I had.
- 21:49Speaker 1: With the equivalent for me being Swift and Travis Kelcey
- 21:52Speaker 1: of a big wedding, you know what I mean?
- 21:54Speaker 2: Like I had the equivalent of that.
- 21:57Speaker 1: A ton of people aout it, posted pictures. I think
- 22:04Speaker 1: the location is weird, Like I gotta I have to
- 22:07Speaker 1: say that, Like I can't.
- 22:08Speaker 2: I can't front. The location is odd. I do get it.
- 22:11Speaker 2: From a security standpoint, it.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Makes a lot of sense because if you have that
- 22:14Speaker 1: many people and they're that famous and you want them
- 22:16Speaker 1: to get in and out and be able to like
- 22:19Speaker 1: secure the perimeter, so to speak, having it in an
- 22:21Speaker 1: enclosed space makes sense.
- 22:23Speaker 2: But like, what's romantic about MSG, I don't know.
- 22:26Speaker 3: I mean they say her, uh one of her first
- 22:29Speaker 3: performs that a performance or are some competition. She was
- 22:32Speaker 3: twelve or thirteen there, so there was like a little
- 22:34Speaker 3: nostalgic situation going on. But still, I mean it's very still,
- 22:38Speaker 3: very intense.
- 22:39Speaker 2: I don't like the location, but.
- 22:40Speaker 3: Their relationship is intense. Oh it's been America story.
- 22:45Speaker 1: You know. I don't care about celebrity relationships, Like I
- 22:48Speaker 1: can't pretend like I do.
- 22:49Speaker 2: I don't know these people, so I don't.
- 22:53Speaker 1: I can't pretend to like be involved in what is
- 22:57Speaker 1: shown publicly, Like I know too much about how people
- 22:59Speaker 1: move in private in these public relationships to like buy
- 23:04Speaker 1: into the lore of it all. I know, people get
- 23:06Speaker 1: super interested and super invested, especially when they're fans of
- 23:09Speaker 1: these people. So I get it, Like I one hundred
- 23:11Speaker 1: percent understand why people are following this to me, Like,
- 23:14Speaker 1: if you're asking my opinion, I would not have gotten
- 23:16Speaker 1: married to MSG. I think there are more romantic, more
- 23:19Speaker 1: beautiful places that you could have massive weddings at. I mean,
- 23:23Speaker 1: famous billionaire people have incredibly private weddings all over the
- 23:28Speaker 1: world at beautiful places, like they're able to secure who
- 23:32Speaker 1: gets in and out, whether there's photos taken, whether there's
- 23:35Speaker 1: drones over it. Like beyond saying Jays got married, right,
- 23:41Speaker 1: famous people get married. Zenda and Tom Holland just got married,
- 23:44Speaker 1: we have not seen a single photo from that wedding,
- 23:47Speaker 1: so like you can do it, So I am, I
- 23:50Speaker 1: do want to know, Like I don't. I haven't seen
- 23:52Speaker 1: anyone from their camp, like explain why it's there. But yeah,
- 23:58Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I the guests looks beautiful. I have
- 24:03Speaker 1: had the soul search though, because I'm like, I had
- 24:05Speaker 1: a big wedding, and I would advise anyone who's getting
- 24:08Speaker 1: married not big wedding.
- 24:10Speaker 3: Yet, well probably because you did it, because.
- 24:12Speaker 1: I did it, And I just think, like it's a
- 24:15Speaker 1: beautiful moment and it's fun and you have your people
- 24:17Speaker 1: there and you're dancing and it's like this thing. But
- 24:22Speaker 1: it's one day, and I just like, now, I guess
- 24:26Speaker 1: I just feel differently like, but I did it, So
- 24:28Speaker 1: I think it's unfair of me to be like, don't
- 24:30Speaker 1: do it because I did it.
- 24:33Speaker 3: You know, I haven't done it yet, and I'm conflicted
- 24:36Speaker 3: about having a big wedding. Here's my thing. I just
- 24:40Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not paying for food for that many people.
- 24:42Speaker 3: I'm just that's a lot. It is wildly, wildly And
- 24:47Speaker 3: then we want to open bar to you have to.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Have an open bar. I'm not coming to your wedding
- 24:52Speaker 2: if you don't have.
- 24:53Speaker 3: One hundred thousand dollars. I would assume.
- 24:54Speaker 2: I'm just telling you that right now.
- 24:55Speaker 3: I love you, but coming to the wedding, I have
- 24:57Speaker 3: to what are we gonna do?
- 24:58Speaker 2: What are we gonna do? We're you gonna hang out?
- 25:00Speaker 3: Oh if it's not open bar, No, I don't have
- 25:03Speaker 3: to be open bar.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Has to be open bar.
- 25:04Speaker 3: But I don't think it's gonna be two hundred fifty people.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Well, so here's here. Okay, So here's my thing about.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Because I don't want to sound like a hater, because
- 25:11Speaker 1: I am experienced in this.
- 25:13Speaker 2: This is the thing about big weddings.
- 25:16Speaker 1: It sounds like a great idea, right, Like you have
- 25:18Speaker 1: all these people and it's like the big flowers and
- 25:22Speaker 1: the big church and the big reception, but like you
- 25:25Speaker 1: don't get to spend any time with anyone like you
- 25:29Speaker 1: just you do not it's impossible. You have the day
- 25:31Speaker 1: before and like sometimes you can hang out with people
- 25:34Speaker 1: a little bit there, or like you'll have like a
- 25:36Speaker 1: Thursday dinner. And weddings have also become like a four
- 25:39Speaker 1: or five day thing, which I know in some cultures
- 25:42Speaker 1: is very normal, but not for us. Okay, not for America.
- 25:45Speaker 1: It's supposed to be a rehearsal dinner with your family
- 25:48Speaker 1: and then a wedding, and it's become like this whole
- 25:51Speaker 1: you know, festival. But yeah, like, if you really want
- 25:56Speaker 1: to be able to spend time with people that you
- 25:58Speaker 1: care about, my advice is this, invite people that you know,
- 26:06Speaker 1: you know, we'll have your back in ten years. If
- 26:09Speaker 1: they don't make that cut, they don't need to be
- 26:11Speaker 1: at your wedding, cause it's like it's the most important
- 26:15Speaker 1: day of your life. It's supposed to be about love
- 26:20Speaker 1: and you are if you have a massive wedding, you're
- 26:22Speaker 1: just inevitably going to have people there that like just
- 26:24Speaker 1: don't need to be there. And to your point, you're
- 26:26Speaker 1: feeding them and you're giving them drinks and you're paying
- 26:31Speaker 1: for like extra space and but do what you want,
- 26:35Speaker 1: you know what I mean Again, like I am absolutely
- 26:37Speaker 1: being a hypocrite. I did that so and I had
- 26:40Speaker 1: a great wedding. It was beautiful and had the best time.
- 26:43Speaker 2: So I mean, I'm like I.
- 26:47Speaker 1: Feel this way now that the that the wedding is over,
- 26:51Speaker 1: that I would Elope and I can't have a small wedding.
- 26:54Speaker 1: I have too big of a family to have a
- 26:56Speaker 1: small wedding, so it's just impossible.
- 26:58Speaker 2: And like if my partner has a big family, it's cooked.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Like there's just we either have a big wedding or
- 27:03Speaker 1: like a like a big ish wedding or Elope.
- 27:06Speaker 2: And for me, like I just I mean, I just
- 27:10Speaker 2: have to ask too many people.
- 27:11Speaker 1: That's just family, like I can't friends like and then
- 27:13Speaker 1: they have their partners. Like that's how it goes and
- 27:16Speaker 1: girls and grows.
- 27:17Speaker 3: When I think about it, it adds up quick when
- 27:19Speaker 3: I think about.
- 27:20Speaker 1: It, It really does. When you sit down there and
- 27:22Speaker 1: make the list, it adds up quick. And you want
- 27:24Speaker 1: to be able to spend time with these people and
- 27:25Speaker 1: you're not going to get to spend time with them,
- 27:27Speaker 1: and everyone's going to be asking.
- 27:28Speaker 2: You for a picture and a selfie and.
- 27:30Speaker 3: You know what it is, I, as an adult, have
- 27:32Speaker 3: not been to a wedding. The last wedding I went
- 27:35Speaker 3: to I was like thirteen. I to do gasp, I was.
- 27:40Speaker 3: I was invited to one, but it was it was
- 27:43Speaker 3: my girl from high school. But it was like three
- 27:45Speaker 3: weeks after I had Aiden. So I was like, I'm sorry, girl,
- 27:49Speaker 3: I can't I can't make this.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Wait. You haven't been to a wedding as.
- 27:53Speaker 3: An adult, No, But I don't know when I know
- 27:55Speaker 3: is getting married.
- 27:57Speaker 2: I've been to four weddings since year.
- 28:00Speaker 3: I need some new friends. No one's no one's married
- 28:03Speaker 3: or they just have really long engagements. We got to
- 28:07Speaker 3: get you to a wedding, girl, Yeah, because maybe I'll
- 28:10Speaker 3: have a different opinion.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, you're gonna need to get to a wedding.
- 28:14Speaker 3: I need to.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to get to a wedding for sure. Also,
- 28:20Speaker 1: bachelorette culture is like a whole thing too. Yeah.
- 28:22Speaker 3: I haven't been to one of them either.
- 28:24Speaker 2: I've been to a couple bachelorettes. Ben I've been. Yeah,
- 28:28Speaker 2: I've been. I've been to a decent amount of bacherettes.
- 28:30Speaker 3: I gotta go.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Yeah you have, you have a lot of experiences.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Still to just all of my opinions because no, no, no,
- 28:38Speaker 3: but like we do have to get we do have
- 28:39Speaker 3: to get you to a wedding, though, we do, we
- 28:41Speaker 3: definitely have to do that.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Okay, So it's time for never Too Personal. Yes, all right,
- 28:46Speaker 1: it's time for never too Personal. If you want to
- 28:47Speaker 1: be a part of the show Too Personal podcasts at
- 28:49Speaker 1: gmail dot com, or you can d ms at two
- 28:52Speaker 1: personal show this one is you mentioned twenty year old
- 28:56Speaker 1: Joy a lot and all of her crazy.
- 28:58Speaker 2: What do you think she would think of Joy today?
- 29:01Speaker 1: I was a wild woman at twenty Actually, I would
- 29:04Speaker 1: say from nineteen eighteen ish.
- 29:08Speaker 2: To twenty five, I was pretty unhinged. I think I
- 29:15Speaker 2: hit adulthood and all of the like.
- 29:18Speaker 1: Suppressed trauma for my childhood, all of the having to
- 29:22Speaker 1: be buttoned up and not cause my mom anymore headache
- 29:29Speaker 1: than she already had on her plate. Not wanting to
- 29:32Speaker 1: get in trouble so that I could get to college,
- 29:35Speaker 1: you know, trying to avoid extra stress at home by
- 29:39Speaker 1: talking back, Like all of those things. I think it
- 29:42Speaker 1: all just kind of poured out of me daddy issues,
- 29:45Speaker 1: so to speak, and I really kind of went on
- 29:49Speaker 1: a rebellious I'm going to find myself journey. Oh also
- 29:55Speaker 1: pour in there all of the church guilt and church
- 29:59Speaker 1: trauma as well, which I talk about quite often and
- 30:01Speaker 1: piss everybody off with. But you know, I think it
- 30:06Speaker 1: when I look back on those years, which i'm really
- 30:09Speaker 1: as many stupid fucking things as I did, and as
- 30:12Speaker 1: many poor decisions as I've made as I made during
- 30:17Speaker 1: that time, I'm really grateful I had that time because
- 30:23Speaker 1: I do not miss my twenties at all. I'm on
- 30:26Speaker 1: the cusp of forty and I feel like someone who
- 30:30Speaker 1: has really lived life fully in each chapter, except for
- 30:35Speaker 1: my childhood because it wasn't available to me. But I
- 30:40Speaker 1: feel like I've had every year like I have had
- 30:43Speaker 1: so many experiences.
- 30:45Speaker 2: I've been in so many different places.
- 30:46Speaker 1: I've lived in different cities, I've had different relationships, I've
- 30:49Speaker 1: had different friendships, I've had different jobs, I've been at
- 30:53Speaker 1: different schools like I've I've had so many different experiences
- 30:57Speaker 1: in life that I feel like I've had such a
- 30:59Speaker 1: full life that even though those times were just beyond
- 31:03Speaker 1: my comprehension to even imagine behaving like that anymore. I
- 31:09Speaker 1: am grateful for them because they shaped so much of
- 31:13Speaker 1: who I am and how I see the world now.
- 31:16Speaker 1: And I haven't lived perfectly. I've made a lot of
- 31:19Speaker 1: really poor decisions. And I don't like to look at
- 31:23Speaker 1: the world through a lens of regret. I don't like
- 31:26Speaker 1: saying like, oh, I don't regret anything, like everyone regrets
- 31:28Speaker 1: things that they do. That's a very silly like no
- 31:31Speaker 1: regrets thing. But what I will say is, when it
- 31:34Speaker 1: comes to regret, I think you have to repurpose.
- 31:37Speaker 2: That feeling into.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Lessons and growth and a have it be a part
- 31:45Speaker 1: of your story. And I feel like that time was
- 31:48Speaker 1: just it was insane. But some of the stories are
- 31:52Speaker 1: funny and some of them are tragic.
- 31:54Speaker 2: But what I think.
- 31:57Speaker 1: My twenty year old self would think of me today,
- 32:00Speaker 1: I guess there's two ways of looking at it. Like
- 32:02Speaker 1: if I saw myself today, what my twenty year old
- 32:05Speaker 1: self think, I would be so relieved that I survived
- 32:10Speaker 1: and that I accomplished my dreams and that I am,
- 32:15Speaker 1: you know.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Independent, and I have this full life.
- 32:20Speaker 1: There's another way of asking this question of like, what
- 32:22Speaker 1: would twenty year old self Joy think of a woman
- 32:26Speaker 1: like me, like passing her by? I think I would
- 32:31Speaker 1: think nothing of it. I was a completely selfish asshole,
- 32:36Speaker 1: so like I don't know I was, I would not
- 32:38Speaker 1: be paying attention steady of those things. My focus on
- 32:42Speaker 1: success was really centered on school, and you know, that
- 32:48Speaker 1: was like where I poured my success energy, and the
- 32:51Speaker 1: rest of it was, you know, just thinking that I
- 32:53Speaker 1: knew everything. And the reason I mentioned twenty four and
- 32:55Speaker 1: twenty five as sort of the year where I got
- 32:57Speaker 1: out of that is because I find broke down at
- 33:02Speaker 1: that time and accepted that I needed to start taking
- 33:06Speaker 1: advice and I needed to change I was living and
- 33:08Speaker 1: I needed to grow up and I needed to be
- 33:11Speaker 1: more serious about my future and stop thinking that I
- 33:14Speaker 1: knew everything.
- 33:15Speaker 2: And now I'm really grateful to say that I know.
- 33:18Speaker 1: A whole lot about a very very very very little
- 33:20Speaker 1: amount of things, and I always want to learn more,
