I Was Thinking Comeback - 2026 Version · I Was Thinking…

• 0:01
  What is up lovely people around the world.
• 0:05
  It's your host, Simone Lala and Gina.
• 0:09
  Well, I was going to introduce you later, Gina, but that's
• 0:12
  fine. Welcome back to.
• 0:13
  I was thinking yay. And have we got any more
• 0:20
  professional? No, but we're back.
• 0:24
  Did you guys miss us? We missed you too, and I say
• 0:29
  we're back with an asterisk. Appropriate, Mark.
• 0:33
  Right, An asterisk. Yes, yes, yes.
• 0:37
  OK, just making sure, But yes, how's everyone doing?
• 0:41
  You're glad to be back. OK, you got an alive.
• 0:45
  Surviving doing well. It's all we can really do.
• 0:48
  It's fine, it's fine. But yes, enthusiasm, we are back
• 0:55
  sort of with the podcast. So what I mean by that is just I
• 1:00
  am pretty sure as everyone knows, it's been rough out here,
• 1:06
  especially if you've been in America, but I mean just world
• 1:10
  wise, yes, but especially if you've been in America if you
• 1:14
  live here. So all that and then a lot of
• 1:19
  things happening with all of us personally.
• 1:22
  So I remember a few months ago we did get together and, you
• 1:26
  know, talk about the future of the podcast.
• 1:30
  As Lala and Gina can probably tell you, I got very emotional
• 1:34
  and something I've been working on for five plus years now.
• 1:38
  I'm just not really ready to give it up.
• 1:40
  But again, due to personal reasons and job, and I mean, I
• 1:46
  could say it right now, actually won't be living in Florida for a
• 1:50
  long time. So your Florida girl is going to
• 1:53
  be moving out of the Tropic. But yes, I am actually moving
• 1:57
  with my father. So got to prepare for all that.
• 2:01
  We're going to try to at least record some episodes.
• 2:05
  So we're not going to be on like, you know, a strict
• 2:07
  schedule, full two week schedule week.
• 2:09
  It's just going to be whenever we can record.
• 2:12
  Pretty much and whenever any of us are available too.
• 2:15
  So at this point me and Gina will be switching off where
• 2:20
  wherever we can. Obviously, yes, you know, like
• 2:24
  Simone said, you know the world, everything that's going out
• 2:27
  outside. But right now for me, obviously
• 2:30
  I've mentioned how full time, you know, student and you know,
• 2:35
  full time job, things are getting a little bit more crazy,
• 2:38
  a little bit more hectic. I'm almost towards the end of my
• 2:42
  schooling, which thank God. But with that being said,
• 2:48
  classes are getting a lot tougher and a lot more
• 2:51
  demanding. So lately the energy has
• 2:55
  literally been work and school and work has been a little crazy
• 3:00
  right now for any of my finance and accounting people.
• 3:04
  Obviously year end audit and apparently the company that I
• 3:08
  work at, their audit season doesn't end until April, which
• 3:13
  is crazy to me. I've already been doing overtime
• 3:17
  lately so it's been a little crazy for me right now.
• 3:21
  And I'm just going to be coming in when Lala is bombarded with
• 3:27
  all the school and all the life things that are happening.
• 3:31
  I've been on the podcast a few times before just doing fun
• 3:35
  things and hanging out, but it'll be really fun to, you
• 3:40
  know, pop in and be like an honorary Co host essentially.
• 3:44
  I am on a mom schedule. So that can also be hectic for
• 3:48
  those of you that are parents because, you know, you're on not
• 3:52
  only your own time, but your kids time.
• 3:55
  But I do feel like I can pop in a lot more and it's I think it's
• 4:00
  going to be fun too, because there may be a change of pace in
• 4:04
  some of the content too, because we have now three brain and
• 4:09
  there's just, I think it's going to be really fun.
• 4:11
  And I'm just glad that I can help out on a capacity like so
• 4:15
  that we're not all stressed all the time because life is already
• 4:19
  so stressful with everything going on.
• 4:22
  But I am so excited to be just a part of this.
• 4:26
  Well, I'm glad you guys are excited too.
• 4:28
  I mean, I did try to do this earlier in the days too, but
• 4:32
  again, life happened. So I have two brand new Co Co
• 4:37
  hosts keeping going. It's been a lot.
• 4:41
  But yeah, we're still going to come on here, bring you fun
• 4:44
  times and have fun times for us. So we can all just for at least
• 4:48
  an hour or two, hopefully not two hours.
• 4:51
  But at this point, if we're bringing you an episode every
• 4:53
  month, maybe it'll be two hours if you like the two hour
• 4:56
  episodes. So just forget about all our
• 4:59
  problems, you know, talk about our hobbies, enjoy the wonders.
• 5:03
  Which, Speaking of hobbies, one thing that we're all, you know,
• 5:06
  very excited about ETS is finally coming back.
• 5:11
  I'm so excited. I need a schedule, though.
• 5:15
  I need from them because I don't care at this point.
• 5:19
  If it has the question marks, that's fine.
• 5:21
  But then I at least know that something's dropping that day.
• 5:25
  You know what I mean? Like I just, it's the Capricorn
• 5:27
  in me. OK, I'm sorry.
• 5:29
  I just, I need a schedule. I need to know when I have to
• 5:32
  like schedule my breakouts like my you know, my freaked out
• 5:36
  moments so that way I could put them on my calendar and like
• 5:39
  take a moment to walk away from like work or school.
• 5:43
  I don't know, this has been a lot different than their normal
• 5:47
  comebacks. I do feel like when they talked
• 5:49
  about like a rebrand, like we're actually seeing it and I know in
• 5:52
  like our discord server, there's been a few people like
• 5:56
  anticipating waiting for like possibly a pre release.
• 5:59
  I'm a just say it now. I don't think that's coming.
• 6:01
  I I think we're just going to get the comeback on the
• 6:04
  funniest. So we're just going to get title
• 6:06
  track and all the music at once, no more pre releases.
• 6:09
  Which I mean, if we're being honest, I know like other K Pop
• 6:12
  fans are going to be mad when I say this, but I don't care.
• 6:14
  They kind of started the trend with pre releases because they
• 6:18
  were the first ones that I'm aware of to do that with Black
• 6:22
  Swan, with Map of the Soul 7. Because for at least have I've
• 6:26
  been aware from K Pop, it was always the comeback, the title
• 6:29
  track. And then if there's AB side that
• 6:31
  they want to promote as well to stay on music shows longer, they
• 6:35
  would promote that B side as well and even sometimes like
• 6:39
  extra like a music video. So it hasn't been, at least that
• 6:42
  I'm aware of, the most recent like 5-6 years now where a lot
• 6:46
  of groups were doing pre releases and who knows if that's
• 6:49
  going to change after BTS has come back.
• 6:52
  I don't think because of like controlling, controlling
• 6:56
  everything. I will say though, I am like
• 6:59
  very proud and I'm I shouldn't be surprised, right, that
• 7:03
  nothing has been likely. Like I'm very happy about that.
• 7:07
  I'm happy that everything has been as much as it's been like
• 7:09
  driving me nuts, right? Like again, I would rather get
• 7:12
  word from either the guys or from high like a schedule or
• 7:17
  anything like that. If they want to do spoilers,
• 7:20
  like I'd rather it be the guys to do it, you know, So it's been
• 7:24
  it's been nice. Obviously, it's just been kind
• 7:26
  of like, Oh my God, it's it's quiet.
• 7:28
  It's very quiet. Like I'm.
• 7:30
  I'm a little scared. Oh, what's about to scare?
• 7:35
  Because it's way too quiet. But we've all been waiting for
• 7:39
  this. For what?
• 7:40
  I know. I mean, right.
• 7:43
  Yeah. Three years they haven't.
• 7:44
  Had like a full group comeback since I don't I I personally
• 7:49
  don't even really consider take two like a comeback.
• 7:53
  So has it been since proof? I think since proof which would,
• 7:57
  yeah, I think it would put us at three years.
• 8:01
  Well, proof came out in 2022, so be like 4 years.
• 8:04
  Sorry. Four years.
• 8:05
  Yeah, four years. Yeah, it came out before Gin
• 8:08
  left. Yeah 'cause right.
• 8:10
  Do I not know time anymore? Listen, Yeah, you're right.
• 8:13
  Morning. I don't know my.
• 8:15
  Car blending I'm not. Going to be blending it has.
• 8:18
  I literally had to turn around and look at the poster because
• 8:22
  the Busan concert was around the time that they did prove.
• 8:26
  So yes, that three, it's four years.
• 8:29
  Oh. Yeah, 'cause friends.
• 8:30
  Beach was on proof lore. Yeah, and that was the last time
• 8:36
  they said a concert. Really.
• 8:38
  You get to see run BTS in concert.
• 8:42
  The setlist is probably already made.
• 8:45
  I don't even know if I can beg for come back and come back home
• 8:48
  anymore. You know I've I've been begging
• 8:50
  for they. Already gone there, Simmi.
• 8:54
  It might be on there, you don't know.
• 8:56
  I don't know, I don't know, like I just part of me feels like I
• 9:01
  don't know if they're really going to put any of like their
• 9:04
  old music by the way that they're moving them, by the way
• 9:08
  that they're singing. Like this is a whole rebrand
• 9:12
  situation. Like I just don't, I mean, I can
• 9:15
  probably see them the only, there's only one way that I can
• 9:17
  see it. It's like a way for them to be
• 9:19
  in all like, all right, this is the last time that you're you're
• 9:22
  going to see this be performed or talked about or whatever and
• 9:26
  then it goes in the vault and that's it.
• 9:28
  I have a conspiracy theory. Can I say something before you
• 9:34
  talk about your conspiracy theory?
• 9:35
  Go ahead. I mean their concerts be like 5
• 9:40
  hours long. You got to have some old songs
• 9:42
  in there to have a three hour long concert.
• 9:46
  Like I I'm pretty sure this new albums already going to be like
• 9:50
  a lot longer than we expected. I'm assuming an hour and a half,
• 9:54
  but again, the way BTS be having like 3, almost 4 hour concerts,
• 9:59
  you still need to put some type of old songs in there.
• 10:02
  Now whether it's the same old songs they always perform, like
• 10:06
  the B sides they always perform, or if it's going to be like new
• 10:09
  ones they haven't performed in a very long time, I would really
• 10:13
  like that. But again, I can't dictate and
• 10:15
  I'm sure whatever case studies or like online, people who are
• 10:19
  present online talk about what songs they want to hear, they're
• 10:21
  going to follow that the most. But you know.
• 10:25
  Girl can dream. Also their solo sets, maybe more
• 10:30
  songs because of all of them having solo work now too.
• 10:34
  If they want to corporate that's depends because I remember for
• 10:37
  permission to dance also three plus hours.
• 10:41
  Though I think that was the first time in a while before
• 10:44
  they started doing like solo songs on their albums.
• 10:47
  They didn't perform like any solo songs.
• 10:50
  And that was before, you know, they started doing their own,
• 10:53
  like, individual albums. But as far as like solo songs
• 10:56
  from past albums as a group, they didn't perform any.
• 10:58
  So I mean, it could be another case too, where they just do
• 11:02
  group songs or depending if we get solo songs on this new
• 11:06
  album, we got 14 tracks to compare that to.
• 11:09
  If they want to do unit songs, we don't know if there's going
• 11:12
  to be unit songs. Plus on top of that, like not
• 11:16
  saying that they're going to be like yapping for like 2 hours,
• 11:19
  but I'm pretty sure that, you know, it's going to be like
• 11:22
  performance, you know, a little part where they're talking and
• 11:26
  everything like that. Like we haven't seen them in
• 11:29
  four years together. So I don't know.
• 11:32
  I mean for crying out loud, we yap and sometimes it goes for
• 11:36
  two hours. Like.
• 11:40
  You don't. I don't know.
• 11:44
  But I don't know, my thought was too, when it comes to songs that
• 11:50
  they might perform, there is a thing going around that they
• 11:54
  have now that they're having ARMY make playlists of songs
• 12:00
  that fit with whatever theme. There is a thing going around
• 12:04
  that says BTS might like look at your playlist that you may.
• 12:08
  It's this thing that they did after because they made us do
• 12:12
  the vote for what type of love on Spotify and it was self love
• 12:18
  that one. So now they're having people
• 12:22
  make playlists that BTS will quotes.
• 12:26
  OK but are those playlists only available on Spotify?
• 12:30
  Because you're still excluding tons of fans who don't use
• 12:33
  Spotify. I don't use Spotify.
• 12:36
  I don't know. I don't know if it's just like
• 12:39
  in general share your playlist or if it's only Spotify.
• 12:43
  That I do not know, but I wonder if like if more if it's kind of
• 12:50
  like the survey they did before, like where they said, what songs
• 12:54
  do you want to see BTS perform and back say it was like
• 12:58
  obviously one, but like, I wonder if they're going to look
• 13:02
  through there and see what songs that repeat on a lot of people's
• 13:06
  playlists and kind of gave where people are so they can put like
• 13:11
  encore songs or you know, make it more interactive in a way.
• 13:16
  Like I don't know. And I actually don't know if
• 13:19
  it's exclusive to Spotify or if it's just because there's really
• 13:22
  no way they can see it. And I don't know where you share
• 13:26
  it because on Spotify there's no way to hashtag things like you
• 13:31
  can't, you know what I'm saying? Because on social media you can
• 13:35
  hashtag and people can find your stuff, but you can't.
• 13:40
  So here's the thing with that though, is that artists get a
• 13:43
  notification. They do get a notification
• 13:46
  whenever a song gets added to a playlist and they get to see the
• 13:50
  name of the playlist. I'm so that would mean that
• 13:53
  interns are going to be like scouring the Internet for BTS
• 14:00
  songs being added. That's interesting.
• 14:03
  I didn't really think about how artists can see when.
• 14:07
  Their songs are added, Yeah. Because I can't remember who.
• 14:10
  There was an artist at an interview that mentioned it and
• 14:14
  I remember like it went crazy because.
• 14:19
  We'll just add Come Back home to every playlist that we make in
• 14:23
  the world. I don't make playlists so.
• 14:26
  I. Just listen to the music I
• 14:28
  download, I sign for La La. Because I It's fine.
• 14:33
  I love you. It's OK, it's fine.
• 14:35
  What did? I.
• 14:35
  Do, don't tell me. No, nothing, it's just you are
• 14:39
  the first person that I have met that doesn't do playlists.
• 14:43
  I don't under listen. I don't.
• 14:45
  Maybe it's just the way my brain works.
• 14:47
  I don't understand the like the concept of playlist.
• 14:51
  I get it. But if I'm just in a mood for a
• 14:54
  song the way like Apple Music, you know, lets you now queue up
• 14:58
  songs and I just do it that way. I also listen to the same song
• 15:02
  like 1000 times and never get tired of it.
• 15:04
  So but then there's a song that will pop up I forgot I added to
• 15:08
  my library. And I'm like, Oh yeah, I want to
• 15:10
  listen to this. I just, I don't know.
• 15:12
  Do you ever play? Library.
• 15:14
  Do you ever put your your library on like shuffle?
• 15:18
  That's how I listen to my music. It's always on.
• 15:19
  Shuffle. So essentially that is your
• 15:21
  playlist then? OK.
• 15:23
  Well, no, because I don't actually create a playlist where
• 15:26
  it's like theme music, like workout playlist and just pick
• 15:30
  songs I want to listen to. Oh yeah.
• 15:33
  No, no, no, no. Yeah, but essentially you have
• 15:38
  all your music downloaded and you just put it on shuffle.
• 15:41
  It's all the music that you enjoy.
• 15:43
  Like, yeah. OK, so here's the thing.
• 15:45
  Like I my own. So my playlists are a little
• 15:50
  weird because I also don't have like oh, workout study or
• 15:54
  whatever. I have it like there is a vibes
• 15:58
  playlist, which that's the one that's way over 24 hours.
• 16:03
  Majority of all my music is on there and then I have it
• 16:06
  separated by like K pop Spanish and like my rock alternative.
• 16:13
  So depending on like what genre I want to listen to, then I jump
• 16:17
  into the other playlist if I only want to stick to that one.
• 16:20
  And then I have the main playlist where like it has all
• 16:23
  my music. I just play my music.
• 16:26
  It can go from a song I downloaded when I was a child,
• 16:30
  like Get Low all the way to like Just One Day by BTS and then the
• 16:35
  random Gasolina the next song. That's like Fever the next song.
• 16:39
  That's how I listen to my music. It's just whatever.
• 16:42
  Whatever. Pops up.
• 16:44
  I'm the person who has workout playlist, cooking playlist, in
• 16:49
  the car playlist, writing playlist like I have.
• 16:52
  And then I have playlists that I've made for people and sent
• 16:55
  them to them. Listen, I'm of the generation
• 16:59
  that like we downloaded stuff on Limewire and Napster, like made
• 17:05
  CDs to put in our cars. Like that's how the playlist is
• 17:09
  very important to me. Like I had car jams volume 123
• 17:14
  like in a little binder in my car.
• 17:16
  And then I have like classical and this CD.
• 17:19
  So I've just kept that my whole life to my playlist.
• 17:23
  So like when you go into my Spotify, it's just like 100
• 17:27
  playlists and I can like find what mood I'm in by just
• 17:31
  clicking one. I'm.
• 17:32
  Just like, but see, I but I also feel like it's the Aquarius in
• 17:37
  me because we don't like one thing.
• 17:40
  We have to have like so many different things.
• 17:44
  So I, my playlist are like all my genres like mixed up.
• 17:49
  And then I have shared playlist like with Caitlin, I have a
• 17:53
  shared playlist that she and I add songs to for our playlist
• 17:56
  because you can have collaborators on Spotify so
• 18:00
  people can like add stuff to your playlist.
• 18:03
  So like we have a collab playlist where we just add songs
• 18:07
  on the playlist for just our listening pleasure.
• 18:11
  I know what I like and I know where it is.
• 18:14
  My mood can change like at that minute because I might think I'm
• 18:18
  in one mood and I started listening to the songs to fit
• 18:20
  the mood and then I'm like, I don't want to listen to this
• 18:22
  anymore and then I change it. So that's why it's got to be on
• 18:24
  a shuffle. I I've never used Apple, so
• 18:29
  here's the thing. And I because of that, I got
• 18:33
  curious. So with Spotify, you do have to
• 18:37
  put it on a playlist in order to listen to it.
• 18:41
  I'm trying to see like if you can go to like what you just
• 18:45
  download because like with Apple, you do, you just download
• 18:48
  the music and it essentially just puts it in one spot where
• 18:51
  you can actually go through the list.
• 18:53
  And you can, if I'm correct, I do remember that you can put it
• 18:57
  in either artist alphabetical order or it goes by song
• 19:04
  alphabetical order, and then you can go ahead and just click
• 19:06
  play. But I think with Spotify they
• 19:08
  don't have that. I so with Apple Music.
• 19:13
  Is it streaming or do you have to buy and download the songs?
• 19:17
  No, you can stream. Well, you can do both because
• 19:20
  you know, it used to be iTunes, but Apple, actual Apple Music is
• 19:25
  the streaming site. So it's not iTunes.
• 19:27
  You can still buy them if you want, but Apple Music is the
• 19:31
  streaming platform and I know they've updated it now.
• 19:34
  So like they track monthly, you know like how you do the raps
• 19:37
  every year. They do the raps like monthly if
• 19:39
  you would like. There is a new feature to where
• 19:42
  like you can see if you add friends, what your friends are
• 19:45
  listening to. They have the radio stations
• 19:48
  where if you pick like like if there's AK pop of 2000s that you
• 19:53
  can play and it'll randomly just like play 2000 songs and K pop
• 19:59
  like a radio basically so. I would be curious to try Apple
• 20:07
  Music for a few months I've I haven't used it at all and I was
• 20:11
  on iTunes obviously before Apple changed it over but maybe I will
• 20:16
  try. I don't know.
• 20:17
  I hear the sound quality is better.
• 20:19
  I was just going to say that a lot of people say the sound
• 20:22
  quality on Apple is a lot better than Spotify, so.
• 20:25
  Listen, maybe it's time to try new things for.
• 20:29
  Me and I don't think. Apple gives me.
• 20:31
  Do an OP gives you like an option to where like you don't
• 20:34
  have to have a membership, you still got to listen to ads.
• 20:37
  I think if you just pay a subscription for Apple Music,
• 20:40
  like there's no ads. So.
• 20:42
  But again, it's because you've downloaded the music.
• 20:45
  I guess, I guess I'm so curious to see because there are like, I
• 20:50
  know too late with the people who stream and buy albums on,
• 20:56
  you know, in the fandom, they have stuff set up for Apple
• 20:59
  Music and stuff. And I always I'm just like, I
• 21:02
  should try to like listen to music because I did hear that
• 21:06
  the sound quality is better. And I'm like, maybe this is the
• 21:08
  album I listen to on the best quality that I can.
• 21:13
  And you can make playlist like I search up playlist to listen to
• 21:18
  for example, last year and I'm going to do it again in March
• 21:21
  because I am seeing twice when they come to Orlando.
• 21:24
  Like since their setlist is already out, I can look up a
• 21:28
  playlist on Apple, on Apple Music and people will make
• 21:32
  playlist, other setlist that I can listen to, to like get
• 21:36
  familiar with the songs and like be hyped and like know the
• 21:40
  lyrics a little bit better. I did that with a TS last year
• 21:42
  too. So I mean, people do make pic
• 21:45
  playlists. It's just not me.
• 21:46
  And you can make them public or you can make them private.
• 21:49
  Well, get ready if I get it, you're going to have a million
• 21:52
  semi playlists just sent to you, OK?
• 21:58
  She does. She does because she's created
• 22:01
  some for me. Yeah.
• 22:02
  See, so I just went ahead while you guys were talking and I went
• 22:06
  and looked on Spotify. Yeah, you can't Like you can
• 22:09
  listen to because obviously Apple lets you like download the
• 22:15
  album as well. Spotify lets you download the
• 22:17
  album, but if you want to go listen to it, you have to go to
• 22:21
  the album itself. It doesn't like list the song.
• 22:25
  Yeah. And that's what I mean by like,
• 22:28
  essentially with the way Apple does it, when you download the
• 22:32
  songs that you like to listen to, it automatically basically
• 22:34
  is putting it into a playlist. It's just so.
• 22:38
  Spotify doesn't have like a separate library for you
• 22:41
  essentially like if you just want to listen to the music you
• 22:44
  add, there's no library where you can just go listen to the
• 22:46
  music. See, I don't like that no, But
• 22:49
  then again, after particular for things I like OK, I I think
• 22:54
  Spotify is great for people to don't really like, especially if
• 22:59
  you're a big music head. But no, no.
• 23:03
  I will say that like, because you have like so with Spotify
• 23:08
  and Apple does this too, because I did use, I used to have Apple,
• 23:12
  you can go into like indie artist, but I feel like with
• 23:17
  Apple it was harder to find like indie artist or any new music
• 23:21
  because obviously they always put like they bump the popular
• 23:25
  artist and or songs, you know, and Spotify you could actually
• 23:29
  go through and you'll come across people you've never like
• 23:33
  listened to or heard or, and things like that.
• 23:36
  So that's the one thing that I could.
• 23:38
  Like. Yeah, I will agree with that.
• 23:40
  I think not only and the artist, I think it's also a little
• 23:43
  easier to find like international artists as well if
• 23:45
  they're not as popular may come across from like different
• 23:50
  countries. And I try to look up their music
• 23:52
  on Apple Music and it's not available, but I don't have
• 23:55
  Spotify but it may be available on Spotify so.
• 23:58
  Yeah, I think that's why probably people do end up
• 24:01
  getting both, because sometimes sound quality is super
• 24:06
  important, but other times too, like you say, like finding
• 24:09
  different artists, it's also important to some people too.
• 24:14
  So I'm probably going to be the end up being both I have a
• 24:17
  feeling. But plus I didn't have both at
• 24:20
  one time. Yeah, I hear because I you know
• 24:23
  how this fandom is sometimes with like streaming and the
• 24:26
  numbers and all that I did hear it's also easier for streams to
• 24:29
  count on Apple Music than it is for Spotify.
• 24:32
  And I do believe listen all the streaming as far as paying
• 24:36
  artists is trash but Apple Music is slightly better than Spotify
• 24:41
  as far as paying the actual artists as well if you stream
• 24:45
  them and there's. A couple other day and age that
• 24:48
  that means something. Yeah.
• 24:51
  I mean, $0.10 more, I think it's a lot.
• 24:55
  Listen. That adds up.
• 24:57
  It does add up. Yeah, no, I think this is good
• 25:01
  information because there are probably people out there trying
• 25:05
  to figure out the streaming situation and what all this
• 25:09
  means and how it's different because they keep changing the
• 25:12
  rules all the time. And with this comeback, it's
• 25:16
  going to be bigger than they've ever had.
• 25:19
  I mean, even going through ticketing again, ticketing wars
• 25:25
  that went on, that was bigger than anybody had ever seen.
• 25:29
  So I feel like this comeback is going to come with some amazing
• 25:33
  things, but also glitches. We're going to be faced with a
• 25:37
  lot of different things and hopefully not crash every single
• 25:40
  thing we try to get into. You know, yeah, I don't know
• 25:44
  about that. So like, Speaking of the BTS
• 25:46
  comeback, obviously if you're an army, you know, all this, but I
• 25:50
  feel like I'm like, it's fine, you know, I don't know if
• 25:52
  there's people who like, listen to us and our BTS fans and don't
• 25:55
  be like, Oh my God, they're talking about BTS again.
• 25:57
  But anyway, we all experience, if you tried the ticketing
• 26:03
  bloodshed that happened in January for their tour.
• 26:08
  And thankfully we all won the war.
• 26:10
  We won the war, all three of us, and we got tickets.
• 26:13
  So we are seeing BTS live, but that was ridiculous.
• 26:18
  That was insane. I I still.
• 26:21
  Permission. To dance.
• 26:23
  I still think about it and have like flashbacks of what that was
• 26:30
  like. I was telling Paula, I was like,
• 26:32
  do you realize that this is the only first leg?
• 26:35
  There will be a second leg and we will be doing this again.
• 26:39
  And he's like, what do you mean? And I was like, no, this, this
• 26:43
  is the start. But they will come back around
• 26:46
  and I was like, it will happen again.
• 26:48
  We will be in the same position again going into battle,
• 26:53
  probably with even more people than before.
• 26:56
  And it's just, but it was, it was seriously one of the most
• 27:00
  intense ticketing experiences I've ever had in my life.
• 27:04
  Like I still can't believe how blessed we were because the
• 27:11
  people that were not blessed, I feel for them immensely because
• 27:16
  it was crazy there. There were so many errors.
• 27:19
  There were so many like just glitches that Ticketmaster and
• 27:25
  sea geek of all places, which is still bizarre to me, just
• 27:29
  couldn't handle the flow of in their space.
• 27:33
  Which I think does lead us to like why BTS is doing a comeback
• 27:39
  live with Netflix and why because we all know we verse
• 27:43
  would never no handle. That.
• 27:46
  I mean, I hope that's scanned because I've been hearing some
• 27:49
  of their live things like WWE be also crashing.
• 27:53
  OK, we still got to just. Be prepared.
• 27:57
  I'm just happy that they are actually streaming one of the
• 28:01
  concerts because obviously like they didn't post that when they
• 28:05
  released the concert dates so it's nice to know that they are
• 28:09
  airing one of the concerts. And just with how secretive
• 28:13
  they've been with this whole project, I think I was like
• 28:16
  nervous they weren't going to because they didn't want
• 28:19
  spoilers for the shows, which is.
• 28:22
  But I also feel we live in the age of social media where
• 28:25
  nothing, you know, will be secret.
• 28:29
  If you they can film it and they can have a phone, they will
• 28:32
  film. Yeah.
• 28:33
  So I they would have to show at least one day of the show.
• 28:39
  But I do feel like they're going to be changing it up on us
• 28:42
  though, knowing them. Well, so the one on Netflix is
• 28:46
  like a special comeback performance, like you know how
• 28:49
  they used to do, you know, the why are the other programs
• 28:52
  blinking right now anyway? Shows like that in Korea is just
• 28:56
  going to be on a bigger scale worldwide for about an hour, I
• 29:01
  think, because I think the time stamps are already on Netflix.
• 29:04
  So there's that. And then the actual, you know,
• 29:08
  live performance of the tour, which they will be putting in
• 29:11
  theaters for Korea and Tokyo because Japan, for some reason,
• 29:16
  all their contacts locked down. OK.
• 29:19
  So hard to find, like, Japanese content of any sort.
• 29:24
  And if you find it, good luck if it's translated to your
• 29:27
  language. But they'll be putting, I think
• 29:31
  both notices said days, Day 2 in theaters, But then they'll be
• 29:36
  streaming the first three days in Korea on like, not Weavers,
• 29:41
  but whatever partnership they use for live concerts.
• 29:43
  So. So are we going?
• 29:46
  Which I'll probably do that as a theater.
• 29:49
  Oh, I'm doing that. I'm doing the weavers.
• 29:52
  I'm. But I didn't even look at that
• 29:55
  information yet. I don't even know, I didn't even
• 29:59
  read those like messages I'm going to have to go through so
• 30:02
  that I can get ticket or whatever.
• 30:04
  Yeah, I don't think ticket are available to buy yet by the time
• 30:08
  this recording comes out, whether depending when I edit
• 30:13
  what was the date. I think the live viewing for the
• 30:16
  Weavers part doesn't go on sale until next week, the 27th, if I
• 30:20
  remember incorrectly. And I don't know when tickets
• 30:23
  for the movie go on sale. So there's two things.
• 30:28
  So I mean, we're going to get tons of content.
• 30:29
  We're going to get the Netflix one, which I am also glad
• 30:32
  they're doing it on Netflix because we'll instantly get a
• 30:35
  replay. We won't have to wait like
• 30:37
  months and months to get something.
• 30:40
  It should automatically be on Netflix to rewatch whatever for
• 30:43
  a while. We'll have whether you do
• 30:46
  Weavers in the theatre. And then for us, because we were
• 30:49
  lucky enough to get tickets, we'll see it live ourselves.
• 30:51
  So we it's just going to be a very 2026 BTS field year.
• 30:57
  Wait, was was the what is it that you just said just a while
• 31:03
  ago? The what was it that Netflix was
• 31:07
  having trouble with the live stream?
• 31:10
  Was it the fight? Yeah.
• 31:13
  Were you able to rewatch that afterwards?
• 31:15
  Like after it ended? I'm not a wrest, I'm not a
• 31:18
  wrestling fan, so I don't know if you can go back and rewatch.
• 31:21
  Those but because like from my understanding is I don't think
• 31:24
  you're able to rewatch the live that drops on Netflix because I
• 31:28
  don't. It depends on their content
• 31:30
  because I know Beyoncé had a contract to where her 30 minute
• 31:35
  Christmas performance was on that.
• 31:37
  They just took it off, but it was on there for a year and you
• 31:40
  could just watch that. I I was hoping they do the same
• 31:45
  for BTS because you're right, I didn't realize that.
• 31:47
  Because they've streamed like football games before on Netflix
• 31:50
  and they're not available to watch afterwards.
• 31:52
  So I don't do the boarding thing or not, but maybe I'm talking
• 31:58
  before it actually happens. I'm going to assume if they put
• 32:02
  in a contract to stream this, they would want this to be
• 32:05
  available for at least a year or so.
• 32:08
  No, I I don't know. I think they will because to me
• 32:12
  a football game is different because people can, like people
• 32:17
  would use that content for other things where a concert I feel
• 32:22
  like is something that people would watch over and over
• 32:25
  instead of tearing for their own.
• 32:27
  Videos or like who wants to watch a sports game that
• 32:31
  happened like 2 weeks ago when they're, you know, moving?
• 32:34
  I don't know what to think about sports.
• 32:36
  What is it when they get eliminated or whatever compared
• 32:39
  to like a concert where you can watch over and over?
• 32:41
  I think that I think too, like with a performing artist, I
• 32:45
  think it would have to be that you would be able to watch it.
• 32:50
  And they know too that like not every army is in the same time
• 32:54
  zone. So there might be some time
• 32:56
  zones that people are just asleep or they're working and
• 33:00
  they can't view it. So it would be silly to have
• 33:03
  this kind of thing and not be able to rewatch it.
• 33:07
  It'd be very silly for Netflix, especially with all the traction
• 33:10
  they're going to get in that. I hope again, that they're
• 33:12
  prepared for. You don't want new subscribers
• 33:15
  who honestly just go on there to watch it all the time like.
• 33:20
  Because that'll be me. Like I need background something
• 33:23
  and I will probably put it on over and over again because
• 33:27
  that's just, I do think it I think it will have to have it so
• 33:31
  that you can just keep watching it at least for a year or two.
• 33:35
  That would be a good. Comparison with that and the
• 33:37
  documentary that's also coming out so.
• 33:41
  There's going to be so much stuff to talk about on the
• 33:43
  podcast just with BTS alone. I know that like, we're going to
• 33:48
  be, you know, doing other things too, but BTS is going to be a
• 33:52
  lot this year just because of just how active they are going
• 33:56
  to be. There has been such a drought
• 33:59
  and now it's going to be full tidal wave just taking over.
• 34:06
  But I think the whole world is just going to be absorbed in it
• 34:09
  too. I always feel like with BTS, it
• 34:12
  seems like they take up a lot of people's time.
• 34:16
  Like people will always search up BTS stuff once they see them
• 34:20
  because you know, the PR and just going on every talk show is
• 34:24
  coming too. Like we're going to see them on
• 34:27
  Jimmy Fallon. We're going to see them just
• 34:29
  like everywhere. Exactly.
• 34:33
  OK, so I went and I looked and it looks like for the we are
• 34:39
  going to get the information of when to purchase the online
• 34:43
  streaming through Weavers on February 27th.
• 34:48
  So next week. So next week we'll get the
• 34:51
  notification of like when we can go ahead and buy the tickets.
• 34:56
  Obviously. The online live streaming dates
• 34:59
  are April 9th, April 11th, and April 12th, all at 7:00 PM
• 35:06
  Korean Standard Time. Which is probably early our.
• 35:10
  Time. I don't even want to do the math
• 35:13
  for that probably. I want to say it's going to be
• 35:16
  like, probably what? 6.
• 35:19
  Yeah, 6:00 AM Eastern. Maybe I I think maybe.
• 35:26
  It's either 6 or it's gonna be 5.
• 35:28
  Eastern Lord early. Yeah, I'm trying to.
• 35:33
  I always try to remember like when was the last streaming I
• 35:37
  saw and the times because most of them are always like 6.
• 35:41
  Or 8. Sometimes, sometimes or 8.
• 35:44
  God, it's like time zones are hard, OK?
• 35:47
  They are hard. I just, I do it later.
• 35:50
  I'm like, OK, whenever it gets closer, that's when I start
• 35:53
  like, oh, what is this? It is 10:30 AM here, is 1238 or
• 35:59
  12:30 AM there. So it's already tomorrow there.
• 36:04
  So that's what I'm saying. It's like super early.
• 36:09
  It's going to be so early, but will I do all three days?
• 36:11
  Yeah, because that's just my life and I can't not watch all.
• 36:17
  Don't forget, we're in America. We're springing forward before.
• 36:23
  Oh my God, no. So we get we get that extra
• 36:27
  hour. So because I remember I was
• 36:29
  looking at that and originally it would have been 7, but now
• 36:31
  that we're doing the spring ahead, I think it's going to be
• 36:35
  great for me. No 8 Yes, eight in the morning
• 36:39
  an. Hour.
• 36:41
  OK, OK, hold on. I'm losing an hour, all right.
• 36:44
  Life is good, sleep. I'm so happy.
• 36:49
  That's the best. Well isn't that good for you all
• 36:51
  over? Because that means it'll be 5 in
• 36:53
  the morning instead of like 4, right?
• 36:55
  Yes, I know, but I don't know time anymore.
• 37:01
  It's all gonna depend. I probably will have to miss
• 37:04
  like one of them. Only because I believe it's on
• 37:08
  on Thursday. Yeah.
• 37:10
  I'm gonna have to miss. Thursday, Friday, Saturday oh
• 37:14
  sorry. Oh never mind.
• 37:16
  Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. So yeah, I'll be missing
• 37:19
  Thursdays cuz. They have a day we're between.
• 37:23
  Huh. They.
• 37:24
  Have a day in between. Yeah, they they're not doing
• 37:27
  Friday. But I'm also gonna have to miss
• 37:29
  Thursday. I remember that too, because of
• 37:31
  work. So I'm just gonna catch Saturday
• 37:33
  and Sunday. But if I buy all three, maybe I
• 37:35
  can walk to the delay later. Well, here's here's Yeah, my
• 37:39
  thing too is like, unless I work from home that Thursday, then I
• 37:43
  can make it work, which is probably what I'm gonna end up
• 37:46
  doing anyways, yeah. I mean, that's.
• 37:50
  All of it. Yeah, because even with the if
• 37:53
  the tour, if you notice there's some days where they have breaks
• 37:57
  and it looks like they've tried their best to do weekend dates
• 38:02
  as well. I we didn't talk about earlier.
• 38:05
  So of course, as a Florida girlie, been begging for them to
• 38:09
  come to Florida all these years. We made it.
• 38:12
  We did it all. Florida Army stand up.
• 38:15
  We made the dream come true. Jin kept his promise.
• 38:19
  He did. I got to give it up to my man
• 38:23
  Kim Soak. Jin.
• 38:24
  OK. I believed in you when you said
• 38:27
  you said I'll try to convince the members to come back.
• 38:30
  I was like you better and you kept your promise.
• 38:33
  Thank you. Yep, Yep, Yep.
• 38:36
  But yeah. Tampa.
• 38:38
  So I'm going to Tampa. Not Saturday we could not.
• 38:42
  Oh my God it was so hard to get tickets for Saturday, which was
• 38:45
  crazy because me and my friend Macy which Macy's been on the
• 38:49
  pod before. I'm going with her especially
• 38:52
  too. I just figured since I won't be
• 38:54
  in Florida anymore it'll be special for us and she is the
• 38:57
  one that got me into BTS and because of her work schedule she
• 39:01
  hasn't really really been killed.
• 39:03
  It's a big thing for her to also see them all 7 again.
• 39:07
  She was ticketing for the Saturday, I was ticketing for
• 39:09
  Sunday. I was able to get us something
• 39:11
  for Sunday but as soon as she got into Saturday sold out.
• 39:14
  We were only waiting for like maybe 30 minutes.
• 39:17
  So after 30 minutes as soon as she got in.
• 39:20
  But then they surprisingly dropped 1/3 date for Tampa,
• 39:25
  which I wasn't expecting at all if they were going to add extra
• 39:27
  dates. And then we got it's for I shot
• 39:31
  the ticket Goddess Goddess tickets for Tuesday.
• 39:34
  So I'm seeing them Sunday and Tuesday in April, and then
• 39:39
  again, I'm actually seeing them in August with Gina and her
• 39:43
  family. And where are we going?
• 39:44
  Baltimore. Baltimore, yeah.
• 39:47
  OK, yes, so. That was my first SeatGeek.
• 39:51
  Experience. Yes, Lala's getting to go.
• 39:56
  I am. I am.
• 39:57
  I had to convince her I wasn't, I wasn't supposed to.
• 40:02
  I got bullied. I did help with ticketing
• 40:04
  though. I did help a couple people in
• 40:05
  discord. I was actually surprised at my
• 40:08
  numbers that I kept getting on the queue.
• 40:10
  I got very lucky this time. So I will be going to the Vegas
• 40:15
  stop come May May 27th. That's so exciting.
• 40:20
  I know. Yeah.
• 40:22
  And that'll be fun because you'll be.
• 40:23
  With a group and you all are celebrating Shay's birthday so.
• 40:27
  Shay's birthday, my wife's birthday, and Telly's birthday.
• 40:31
  And then obviously if we are throwing telly, then it's done
• 40:34
  too because it's technically all the Geminis.
• 40:36
  Wow. Y'all are celebrating all y'all
• 40:39
  birthday. That it's have fun.
• 40:41
  Big entire celebration, yeah. Will you be able to even hear
• 40:46
  the concert or will you be on the ground?
• 40:48
  So I'm on the ground. This is going to be my first
• 40:51
  time being off floor. That's amazing.
• 40:56
  So it's going to be interesting because I've always wanted to
• 40:58
  experience floor. I just didn't think it would be
• 41:01
  like for BT s s comeback like first tour.
• 41:04
  So that's kind of like oh shit, OK, this is actually happening.
• 41:08
  We're not that close. We're like so kind of like semi
• 41:12
  how you were set up for gins when you were on the floor.
• 41:16
  You know how you had that stack of people in front and then you
• 41:18
  were like in the back portion. That's kind of the same setup
• 41:21
  that I. I think that'll be better for
• 41:24
  you not to be like call you out because you are a little bit on
• 41:28
  the shorter end. But I'm always saying that
• 41:31
  because, listen, in my mind, I'm taller than you.
• 41:35
  I don't care if we're the same height.
• 41:37
  OK, I'm I'm just going to think I'm taller than you until we be
• 41:40
  in person. But anyway, they are actually
• 41:46
  doing a 360 tour like twice is. And I have been hearing a lot of
• 41:49
  people complain, not complain. Well, state actually, you know
• 41:54
  what, complain about having floor for twice now they have
• 41:58
  two separate pits for twice because the way their stage is
• 42:02
  set up. However, because it's 360, the
• 42:05
  stage is a lot taller than it normally is.
• 42:08
  And a lot of people have been saying if you're right at
• 42:10
  barricade, like even if you're, you know, pretty decently tall,
• 42:15
  you have to, you're looking at the stage.
• 42:18
  Yeah, I'm assuming with BTS doing a 360 stage like that,
• 42:22
  there is going to be some height too.
• 42:24
  Especially I'm sure a lot of the things they need like as far as
• 42:27
  changing costumes and everything is going to be under the stage.
• 42:30
  So it has to be taller, so. And the screens will also be
• 42:35
  there. So I think farther back to
• 42:37
  you'll be able to access the screens as well as them on
• 42:40
  stage. Yeah, if that's like, actually
• 42:43
  the better. I'm a little terrified though,
• 42:46
  because like, I don't, I don't think they would.
• 42:50
  But if they do decide to like walk on the floor, what not,
• 42:54
  we're like. Well, if you write.
• 42:56
  Center of like the separation, the extended stage is slow so I
• 43:02
  assume they are going to walk down and I have two of them like
• 43:06
  I'm in between two of them really close and I'm like oh
• 43:09
  God. Anyways, I'm trying not to freak
• 43:12
  out right now. Watch out for Kit for the the
• 43:17
  confetti it will attack. Look, this is what I get for
• 43:21
  laughing at Simi. Yeah, so the confetti might
• 43:24
  come. Karma's a bitch, isn't she?
• 43:28
  Hello. At least there won't be no
• 43:29
  recording, so it's fine. And this There's not a recording
• 43:32
  of me either. All you hear is my screen.
• 43:34
  You don't actually see the confetti.
• 43:36
  On me it doesn't matter we still like and there's there was
• 43:40
  witnesses there's two witnesses which one of them is here with
• 43:43
  us and they. Yes, but there are other
• 43:45
  witnesses and they don't they didn't see that or they don't
• 43:47
  know me. So you'll never see that footage
• 43:50
  because of Thankfully I have two people that I went with who
• 43:53
  don't record shit. I was the one recording.
• 43:56
  So if I was the. One, there was still an audio
• 44:00
  proof that it happened, but this is comeback, so the confetti is
• 44:05
  going to be more so prepare it's going to go the distance.
• 44:09
  Fuck. So.
• 44:12
  I mean. Confetti is different than the
• 44:13
  streamers. As long as it's not those.
• 44:15
  Streamers. Oh, they're going to do that
• 44:18
  because Tay needs to have his fashion show.
• 44:20
  He wraps around himself and starts the stage.
• 44:24
  But yeah, I'm going to MetLife Stadium both nights, which I'm
• 44:29
  so surprised they didn't add a third night.
• 44:32
  And then I'm going to Baltimore both nights.
• 44:37
  Yes, I'm one of those people who is going to multiple days, but
• 44:43
  I'm going with my friend Ann, who is the only army here in
• 44:47
  town where I live. And Caitlin, she's coming from
• 44:52
  Canada. Even though there was a Toronto
• 44:55
  date, it didn't match up with her job.
• 44:58
  And I said I'm sneaking you across the border.
• 45:02
  And so she's flying from Ontario to New York.
• 45:06
  We're going to do a few days in the city too, actually, because
• 45:09
  it's like perfect. It's like on that extended
• 45:12
  weekend. And then I will see Simi and
• 45:15
  then my husband Paul and my daughter Emma are going to be
• 45:19
  coming with us in Baltimore, which I'm excited for.
• 45:23
  Paul, he was still wanted to see Jen, but he didn't get to get
• 45:27
  see his bias. So now he'll see all seven of
• 45:30
  them, which I think is a pretty good deal.
• 45:32
  Yeah, and Emma will get to see all seven of them too, so she'll
• 45:36
  get to see her biases. Yes she it's going to be self
• 45:41
  biases. She is a Jen in JK.
• 45:44
  OK, so she already saw one and now she'll.
• 45:46
  Get to see JK, yeah, she saw one, but she she's excited to
• 45:49
  see JKI. Won't lie, I I think it's the
• 45:51
  younger kids love JK. They really do his energy.
• 45:59
  That's really what it is. Because he relates to them.
• 46:04
  But it's funny because like a lot of people would be like, Oh
• 46:07
  well, he sings 7 and she but she's 12 and she'll be like 12
• 46:12
  going on 13, like birthdays in September as well.
• 46:15
  And Oh my God, you're going to have a teenager.
• 46:17
  I know I will. My twins are turning 13 is
• 46:22
  crazy, but I but she sings the explicit version of seven all
• 46:27
  the time. So people thinking, Oh my God,
• 46:30
  she's going to see him. And if he does 7.
• 46:32
  I'll be like, she sings the full words with her chest in the
• 46:36
  shower. So it's not anything she hasn't
• 46:41
  heard. So I mean, it's just funny like
• 46:45
  some people are like you're bringing your children.
• 46:47
  And I'm like, listen, she knows she's been out here.
• 46:54
  Maybe I'm correct y'all be some people be acting like we didn't
• 46:57
  listen to worse when we were younger.
• 46:59
  So it's like this purity thing. I understand in some senses like
• 47:04
  you do need to protect your children from a lot, but don't
• 47:06
  be acting like you weren't exposed to the same exact things
• 47:10
  if not worse when you were younger.
• 47:12
  Plus the same thing I feel. Like a lot of music nowadays.
• 47:15
  Cleaned up some. Oh yeah.
• 47:17
  Oh yeah, Some. Some.
• 47:20
  I also feel too like at the same time, like, yes, you should be
• 47:24
  protecting your children, but also at the same time, don't let
• 47:29
  them walk around being like ignorant of like situations that
• 47:33
  come from the world. Yes, because like at the end of
• 47:36
  the day, as soon as they leave your house, it's it's it's, you
• 47:41
  know, all for grabs at that point what happened outside.
• 47:46
  And I feel like it's best to learn from your parents, you
• 47:50
  know, having conversations with you and explaining situations,
• 47:54
  then letting some stranger giving them that information
• 47:59
  that most likely isn't going to be the correct way of that
• 48:03
  information anyways, so. Yeah, and take advantage of them
• 48:06
  like they're more vulnerable. They're ignorant.
• 48:08
  Exactly right. So yeah, like I she's and she
• 48:12
  knows she here listens to it in the car when I'm listening to
• 48:16
  it. It'd be silly not to to say to
• 48:19
  her she couldn't go because I listen to it in the car all the
• 48:23
  time and I was listening to Thong song and back that ass up
• 48:27
  in my car when I was little. OK.
• 48:31
  So like, like, I feel like it would, it would be very, you
• 48:38
  know, hypocritical of me. Say she could listen to seven.
• 48:43
  OK, the explicit version, but not as very tame.
• 48:49
  Yeah, we got very honor yearning.
• 48:55
  Yeah, we did. We got very lucky.
• 48:57
  These are all, like, things to look forward to.
• 49:01
  Like there's going to be a lot of content of us.
• 49:04
  I did not. Get lucky with getting a light.
• 49:05
  Stick, though I didn't get the. We'll see.
• 49:09
  So this is I hope I'm so conflicted with that.
• 49:14
  I am so conflicted with that. Like I understand that we're
• 49:17
  going into like a new era and all that stuff, but I mean, come
• 49:21
  on, It's like really communicate other.
• 49:26
  I know, I know, I know, I'll be fine when it comes to like going
• 49:29
  and seeing them because it's at May, which OK, cool.
• 49:33
  But like at the same time, like, I don't know, I feel like we
• 49:38
  should still be able to use the old army bombs.
• 49:42
  No, that's weird because this whole time, because I didn't
• 49:47
  want especially and I knew when it first came out, when I saw
• 49:49
  the word special edition, I'm like OK, so when they have
• 49:51
  another group come back, they're gonna put out a fourth version.
• 49:56
  I'm just going to wait for the 4th version.
• 49:58
  I've said that since the Map of the Soul era, but I was still
• 50:01
  able to use my third version this entire time, even with the
• 50:06
  solo concerts because I was actually afraid like I wouldn't
• 50:09
  be able to use my version 3 during Hobie and Jin solo
• 50:13
  concert. I thought they were going to
• 50:14
  phase it out then, but they didn't.
• 50:17
  Not only phase out version 3, which I would have understood
• 50:20
  that, but the phase out the special edition four.
• 50:24
  It doesn't make any sense to me. Which I had to go, and I gained
• 50:28
  to realize which one I had. Which one do you have?
• 50:32
  I have the 4th 1. You have the special edition?
• 50:35
  The special edition? OK, yeah.
• 50:38
  So, yeah. So I only have version 3 because
• 50:39
  I got that when I saw them at MetLife and I've been holding on
• 50:42
  to that thing for Dear Live. I didn't get the special one.
• 50:45
  I'm not going to like it. I thought it was plain.
• 50:47
  And that thing is way too fucking bright, OK?
• 50:50
  It's so blinded it's not even funny.
• 50:54
  I wasn't thinking about the new. One like not being as bright I'm
• 50:58
  like no I'll take this new one and it has prettier colors and
• 51:01
  it could do special effects but still you shouldn't phase out
• 51:05
  the other one but that shit is so bright it.
• 51:09
  Was great when the power outage happened in the summer for me
• 51:12
  though. I used that thing as a
• 51:13
  flashlight. There you go.
• 51:15
  It was the best. I used to.
• 51:18
  I set it in my bathroom so I could like, you know, wash my
• 51:21
  face and stuff and see in there it was.
• 51:23
  Great, it comes in handy. The light sticks come in handy.
• 51:27
  People do. They're battery powered.
• 51:29
  They don't. They are.
• 51:30
  Great, I would say, though I do like how you can charge the new
• 51:35
  one, except I don't know, I feel like it'll die quicker too.
• 51:39
  I don't know, you can't charge the new one.
• 51:41
  Yeah, the new one's still battery.
• 51:43
  Operated so is it only that's not a charger OK never mind so
• 51:49
  the dock the. Dock is like a mood lamp, so you
• 51:52
  could use it as a mood lamp as well as holding the new light
• 51:55
  stick, but it's not a charger. Now Hive does offer chargeable
• 52:00
  batteries I. Hear.
• 52:02
  I've seen that, yeah. Yes, but it's still battery
• 52:04
  operated. Listen JK needs mood light
• 52:07
  however he wants, he just gets it locked in.
• 52:11
  I swear it was J KS idea to make it a mood light so that he could
• 52:15
  just have another like lighting device in his house.
• 52:19
  I'm good. I still, I mean, there's a
• 52:22
  possibility, there's a possibility that I, well, I have
• 52:25
  to talk to Sen because when I helped Sen get tickets for
• 52:30
  Chicago, unfortunately it had, it forces you to get 2 tickets
• 52:36
  for minimum. You weren't allowed to buy just
• 52:38
  one ticket. And so I ended up buying her two
• 52:41
  tickets. So originally, originally I was
• 52:45
  thinking of going to the concert and just going with Sen because
• 52:48
  like obviously it would have been a lot cheaper because it's
• 52:52
  right here in our city. We wouldn't even need to get a
• 52:55
  hotel or anything like that. That was the original plan until
• 52:59
  nay came and nay. And Jason.
• 53:02
  OK, let me let me put it out there.
• 53:06
  Mainly Jason became a bully and was like, no, you're coming to
• 53:09
  Vegas. OK, I guess I'm coming to Vegas
• 53:13
  and so is the I. Mean if I had the money, I told
• 53:16
  you this privately. If I had the money, I was going
• 53:17
  to secretly buy three tickets. Be like Lala, you're coming to
• 53:20
  Tampa with me. Yeah, I know, I know.
• 53:23
  And it's just. Yeah.
• 53:24
  Anyways, it's fine. But like if I love.
• 53:27
  You hang on, you have friends that love you and I know you
• 53:31
  wanted to be the mature one out of all of us and focus on work
• 53:34
  in school. But at the same time, the way
• 53:36
  life is going, you need a break. You need to still have to find
• 53:40
  joy in this world. And if that joy is a concert,
• 53:44
  because you are a person who likes music and live music, you
• 53:48
  have friends who are willing to do whatever we can to make sure
• 53:52
  you get that break so you're not stressed out all the time.
• 53:55
  It's our act of love to you. Just wanted to let you know.
• 53:59
  I'm still going to be stressed out because now it's going to be
• 54:02
  like a party city with the group of people that were.
• 54:05
  OK, well, that I can't help you with because that sounds
• 54:07
  stressful for me, but you're still going to at least be able
• 54:10
  to go. No, I know, I know.
• 54:12
  You're going to see Danielle. Like hardcore.
• 54:15
  Listen, I already told her I'm like, I have a bedtime.
• 54:20
  Like as soon as I'm tired, I'm out, peace out, I'm going to my
• 54:23
  room, I'm going to sleep. And also it's going to be the
• 54:26
  same way when it comes to Krista, even though Jason's over
• 54:29
  here like is planning on getting Krista drunk.
• 54:32
  I'm like, good luck with that because she doesn't really drink
• 54:34
  too much, but she does easily get drunk.
• 54:37
  So like as it is, I'm already going to have someone I'm going
• 54:40
  to have to like take care of. So I told Shay, like, you're
• 54:45
  going to have to rely on a whole bunch of us because we all have
• 54:50
  other people that we have to make sure they are are OK.
• 54:53
  Like I said, you have to buy the leash.
• 54:55
  I'm not joking. Get her a cute little.
• 54:57
  Backpack, you know, we're thinking of getting what is it?
• 55:01
  The the tag, The Apple tag. Y'all serious about the air tag?
• 55:06
  The air tag, Yes. Oh no, you have no idea how
• 55:09
  quickly she disappears. No, she wanders off in Chicago.
• 55:13
  She was like one minute hugging me, and the next she was gone,
• 55:16
  and I couldn't find her. Like, she wanders down the
• 55:19
  streets. And apparently she's a lot worse
• 55:21
  when she's drunk. So when she's drinking, it's
• 55:25
  worse. It's like having a talker.
• 55:27
  Yeah, because across the parking lot.
• 55:31
  Obviously I hosted Super Bowl Sunday at my place and so Shay
• 55:37
  and son came over and Shay was here in Chicago for like the
• 55:41
  weekend. And so they hung out with
• 55:43
  obviously they hung out and they were telling me how like Shay
• 55:47
  would be 2-3 blocks behind them, like whoever they were hanging
• 55:51
  out with, like 2-3 blocks away. And then they turned back around
• 55:55
  and then all of a sudden they didn't see her and were they had
• 55:59
  to go back to go see where the house she went and find her.
• 56:04
  And yeah, it just. No, I think the air tag idea is
• 56:07
  really good idea because. Y'all have Vegas?
• 56:10
  Because I've already had one experience trying to chase down
• 56:13
  drunk people in college with people like I wasn't really
• 56:16
  friends with like that. I'm never doing that again, so I
• 56:19
  have fun with that. Vegas is one of those places
• 56:23
  too, that there's a lot of shiny, pretty things look at and
• 56:26
  places that have like dark corners you can explore, sit in.
• 56:30
  And I feel like she's going to go into everything one.
• 56:34
  She already has a list of like the bars and everything.
• 56:37
  Luckily, there's a list of bars that she is going to be hitting
• 56:41
  up. So it'll be a little easy to
• 56:43
  kind of be like pinpoint, like, all right, like where she could
• 56:46
  be. But also at the same time, like
• 56:49
  the hotels, the bars, the restaurants, they are so like
• 56:52
  almost on top of each other. You'll have to literally go into
• 56:56
  like every single one to see him all like, all right, is Shane
• 56:58
  here? They they literally catacomb
• 57:01
  like they're like it's a little maze because everything in Vegas
• 57:04
  is connected in the hotels, like the casinos are all connected.
• 57:10
  Yep, other casinos, other lounges, other restaurants.
• 57:13
  So like it's easy to get lost because everything you would
• 57:18
  think would circle back, but it doesn't, it doesn't goes deeper
• 57:21
  and deeper. And then you get so turned
• 57:24
  around and the drunker you get Yep, they want you to.
• 57:27
  So then you gamble more, Yep. Or you drink more because you
• 57:31
  get lost and you're like, I have to take a break because I've
• 57:34
  walked like 5 miles in this catacomb of places.
• 57:39
  And then there's stores like there's like a shopping mall in
• 57:42
  the hotel. In the I love that one.
• 57:45
  Yeah, so like every it's so crazy.
• 57:47
  It's Vegas is really one of the coolest places to have like a
• 57:54
  concert, but it's also like detrimental to your bank
• 57:59
  account, yes, because everything is super expensive.
• 58:03
  But I mean, the thing that they did with PTD was they turned
• 58:07
  everything into BTS Bill basically, so.
• 58:10
  Like don't they do the same the restaurant?
• 58:14
  Had a bunch of Korean food available and drinks that were
• 58:19
  themed available. They had just like things set up
• 58:23
  and like even the fountain show. They had a certain fountain show
• 58:27
  at the Bellagio or whatever that had purple and they did just BTS
• 58:33
  stuff like they do. Vegas does really take care of
• 58:38
  the artists that go there that have a huge following because
• 58:41
  they can accommodate a lot of people.
• 58:44
  Because when I was there it was probably one of the better
• 58:47
  concert experiences I'd had for an extended weekend.
• 58:51
  So I so it is going to be amazing.
• 58:54
  And that's stadium is one of the nicest stadiums I've ever seen a
• 58:59
  show in. It's very new.
• 59:01
  They have the infrastructure, you can get in and out very
• 59:04
  easily and some of them are sitting in the club seats like
• 59:10
  Shay and a bunch of them are sitting, which is amazing.
• 59:14
  Paul and I were lucky enough to get into club seats when we went
• 59:20
  and it was amazing, so that stadium is beautiful.
• 59:26
  Actually, since you guys have troubled and you guys have
• 59:29
  travelled with like your army bombs, how in the world because
• 59:33
  like I'm, I don't know, bomb. OK, Well, I know that I call it
• 59:37
  a light stick when I get there. I know that.
• 59:41
  I just don't know, like if I feel comfortable like traveling
• 59:43
  with it 'cause like I don't have the box I have, I have it out
• 59:47
  like I have it like. You have the, you have the
• 59:49
  sleeve. Like do you have the pouch that
• 59:52
  came with it? I'll have to check.
• 59:56
  Yeah, I put mine in my pouch and I just pack clothes around it.
• 59:59
  I mean, I wrap it up. It's pretty hard plastic like
• 1:00:04
  you. It's not like a glass globe or
• 1:00:07
  anything. It won't crack, I promise you
• 1:00:10
  it. It's very strong.
• 1:00:11
  I I usually put it in my pouch. Do not put batteries in it
• 1:00:15
  though. I no.
• 1:00:15
  No, no, no. I'm going to buy the batteries
• 1:00:17
  when I get out of there. They don't let you fly with
• 1:00:20
  batteries, but yeah. Well.
• 1:00:22
  I mean, Anderson taught me a trip.
• 1:00:24
  You actually can. You just have to take the
• 1:00:27
  batteries out of whatever before I just put them in a like
• 1:00:30
  plastic. Yeah, like put them in a zip
• 1:00:32
  lock plastic bag. So if they're small enough, like
• 1:00:36
  the AAA is fine. You just can't take like a car
• 1:00:38
  battery, obviously. But those little ones can't
• 1:00:40
  travel with them. Because they.
• 1:00:42
  Don't mean I don't think it will matter because since it's me and
• 1:00:46
  the wife, I think and she's come to realize because originally
• 1:00:49
  the original plan was to do the carry on for both of us and you
• 1:00:53
  know, we each have our stuff. When she realized the rules and
• 1:00:57
  regulations of the products, she's all like, yeah, fuck that.
• 1:01:04
  I will pay for the check in bag. We are taking our check in bag.
• 1:01:08
  I was like. Check in bag.
• 1:01:11
  Paul carries on, but I don't. I'm going to do also still a
• 1:01:15
  carry on regardless because yeah.
• 1:01:19
  That makes sense. And Simmie, you are.
• 1:01:22
  Are you going to try to get a light stick at the show?
• 1:01:24
  Bro, I don't know. I don't know if I want to.
• 1:01:27
  Try for the. Show I mean, I really don't want
• 1:01:30
  to give target my money if I can avoid it, but I really don't
• 1:01:33
  know. I don't know because it's it's
• 1:01:36
  another thing where I'm sitting here.
• 1:01:37
  I'm like, OK, if you're only going to make this version, the
• 1:01:41
  only version after a certain date after June, you would think
• 1:01:44
  they have are going to have enough supply to not run out
• 1:01:47
  because during the permission to dance, they ran out of light 6
• 1:01:51
  and a lot of like I'm noticing too with other groups.
• 1:01:55
  I'm not like a big fans of other groups to say I'm with BTS, but
• 1:01:58
  like even with the twice sing, I can K pop.
• 1:02:02
  You've made like sticks at live concerts, such like an integral
• 1:02:05
  part of the show, but you don't have enough for people to like
• 1:02:10
  make it noticeable, you know? And then you get in these weird
• 1:02:14
  online like, well, not online too because I think there was
• 1:02:16
  one girl in the server talking about how she met someone act
• 1:02:20
  the actual concert talking about stuff you usually see only
• 1:02:23
  people online talk about, like how it's disrespectful, bring
• 1:02:27
  another group's light stick to a show and all this bullshit.
• 1:02:30
  But what do you want me to do if you want me to have the light
• 1:02:35
  stick and not have the audience be dark?
• 1:02:39
  But you don't have the supply. So I would hope, again, if
• 1:02:43
  you're making this the only version, you would have the
• 1:02:45
  supply. The way things have been moving
• 1:02:48
  lately, I just don't know. I'm just, I know for that life
• 1:02:51
  sick. I'm going to have to find some
• 1:02:53
  way to get it. I I I know too.
• 1:02:57
  Like I was surprised that they don't have more staggered
• 1:03:02
  releases even on weavers for the lights.
• 1:03:04
  Yeah, like why after the second pre-order that has a bit of
• 1:03:09
  restock? And they should have been more
• 1:03:11
  prepared because like, come on now, it's BTS like.
• 1:03:15
  The way getting a light stick was actually worse than getting
• 1:03:19
  tickets was insane to me. I had so many problems getting a
• 1:03:23
  light stick and my friend who got a light stick and a dock for
• 1:03:30
  them to later come back and cancel her order for the dock.
• 1:03:35
  While people were getting their orders cancelled, Yep, less.
• 1:03:39
  No shit they. Were paying.
• 1:03:41
  And then it cancelled later. Yeah, because of so many
• 1:03:45
  glitches, people's cards kept glitching.
• 1:03:48
  They somehow were able to get more than they had, so they had
• 1:03:53
  to cancel orders because again, doesn't make sense because.
• 1:03:57
  If it's a pre three orders, making the items on the.
• 1:04:01
  Orders so she was very upset like because she was able to
• 1:04:08
  secure both and then to come back 24 hours later and find
• 1:04:12
  your aunt. Your order cancelled for a dock.
• 1:04:15
  I would have been. Pissed.
• 1:04:18
  So she was not happy. So they're obviously.
• 1:04:22
  And that happened with people's light sticks.
• 1:04:23
  Luckily, I didn't even try to go for the dock.
• 1:04:26
  Do I want the dock? Yeah, sure, but I was more
• 1:04:30
  concerned about getting the light sticks than anything, and
• 1:04:35
  they didn't cancel mine, thank God.
• 1:04:36
  But I know that was a huge problem.
• 1:04:40
  Like I said, this comeback is going to be much like this.
• 1:04:45
  I have a feeling like there's going to be blips like this with
• 1:04:49
  just the demand and I don't know how many light sticks they can
• 1:04:53
  possibly have for each location for the concert.
• 1:04:58
  Like will they have enough for every single person at the stop
• 1:05:02
  like or and they're doing the whole stadium.
• 1:05:05
  There is no blocked out area either, so it is like full
• 1:05:09
  capacity. So are you going to have enough
• 1:05:14
  four people? And also too up morning for like
• 1:05:17
  March for March. Are they going to do you know
• 1:05:21
  how like Gin and Hobie like special items like those
• 1:05:25
  freaking acorns or like the Wuto plush where I guess they thought
• 1:05:30
  the little guitars would be more like a seller than the plush,
• 1:05:33
  but it was really the plush. So like everyone was fighting
• 1:05:36
  for the plush and just like Oh my God, are we going to have
• 1:05:39
  something like that for OT 7? Not no.
• 1:05:45
  You know why? Because it's sold and Hive is
• 1:05:49
  like not above making money grabs so they will find a plush
• 1:05:53
  or some key chain and I'm afraid they're going to make it
• 1:05:57
  exclusive like the freaking acorns like based on the stop
• 1:06:02
  because I don't. Hope their marches is better
• 1:06:04
  because people have been getting lazy like companies have been
• 1:06:06
  getting really lazy with the design for merch lately and
• 1:06:10
  ridiculous for how much we have to pay for something a fan can
• 1:06:14
  make better. I'm just saying.
• 1:06:16
  I feel like for this comeback though, because of the weight
• 1:06:21
  that army has to go through to see them and everything, I am
• 1:06:24
  hoping that their merch is a lot better because like even like
• 1:06:29
  gins, merch, Yungis merch, who else went on hobies?
• 1:06:37
  Like they I mean they were good. I mean, there's certain things
• 1:06:40
  that were kind of like and like. I think it's the.
• 1:06:42
  Better from gin. I wear that thing all the time.
• 1:06:46
  It's the best quality. It's so good for what?
• 1:06:51
  But so gin Space Bulger. OK, OK, OK.
• 1:06:57
  It was beautiful. It's a thing of beauty.
• 1:06:59
  I wear it all the time. It's just it's it just fit
• 1:07:02
  everybody type. It was like it was very much
• 1:07:06
  size, like any with size could fit.
• 1:07:08
  They were oversized so you could buy an extra large or two acts
• 1:07:14
  and it would be big enough to fit bigger people.
• 1:07:17
  I that was. Beautiful.
• 1:07:19
  That was my only complaint when it came to hope these because I
• 1:07:23
  actually have a T-shirt and a sweater from from his and it
• 1:07:28
  runs smaller and I was just like.
• 1:07:31
  I heard that like gins though was very size inclusive and like
• 1:07:35
  so was Jungis because I still wear the T-shirt that I got from
• 1:07:40
  Jungis this time I would love a sweat like a sweatshirt because
• 1:07:45
  I didn't get, I have a Hobie sweatshirt that I really like.
• 1:07:49
  Hobie's zip up was really nice quality.
• 1:07:52
  It's heavy and I wear it all the time.
• 1:07:55
  So I really, really like another sweatshirt that's like, but I
• 1:07:58
  hope the design is good like that too.
• 1:08:01
  Is like, I want the designs to look good because sometimes the
• 1:08:05
  designs are just like a stripe or you know what I'm saying,
• 1:08:08
  like something silly. And so I really want the merge
• 1:08:11
  to be cohesive to whatever they have as a concept.
• 1:08:17
  Like, I want it to look good, which again, we have no idea,
• 1:08:20
  but I just want the merch to be a good quality size, inclusive
• 1:08:25
  and have a good design, you know, just normal, you know,
• 1:08:31
  Hopefully, yeah, hopefully Lala gets her calendar soon and her
• 1:08:35
  schedule. That's all I need.
• 1:08:38
  I don't, again, I don't care that they have question marks.
• 1:08:41
  I just, I need to know when to expect a drop because all it's
• 1:08:45
  going to be is going to be notification after notification
• 1:08:48
  and like I'm going to be over stimulated and then I'm going to
• 1:08:51
  just silence my phone and being like I'll get to it later.
• 1:08:56
  I don't have the mental capacity.
• 1:08:57
  That's exactly what's going to happen.
• 1:08:59
  It's been happening already with other like groups that I follow.
• 1:09:03
  I'm like, you guys are not giving me a schedule.
• 1:09:04
  Silent. Oh my God, I'll.
• 1:09:07
  Figure it out later, I'm not doing this.
• 1:09:11
  But I mean, just sitting here, like as I'm thinking of like us
• 1:09:15
  talking, I'm like, yeah, we're not going to have problem
• 1:09:18
  filling the time with content. Like it's just going to be us
• 1:09:24
  finding the time to make this content.
• 1:09:26
  It's going to be good content. I can already tell.
• 1:09:29
  But like just sitting here listening, I'm just like, yeah,
• 1:09:32
  there's going to be content here like I have so.
• 1:09:35
  Much hope in. This podcast, Gina and I
• 1:09:38
  appreciate you for that. Sometimes it's more hope than
• 1:09:41
  me. I mean, no, there's gonna be
• 1:09:44
  enough content for us to like, record.
• 1:09:47
  It's just more or less like how everything plays out for it,
• 1:09:51
  like the experience that we go through and.
• 1:09:54
  I think too, variety is gonna be a thing that we've talked about
• 1:09:58
  and like the kinds of things like they're still going to be
• 1:10:02
  watching things. I believe like cuz Semi
• 1:10:05
  especially watches a lot of stuff and then I get pulled into
• 1:10:08
  watching the stuff. Like just the other day I
• 1:10:11
  thought of an idea that I didn't tell Semi about, but I was like,
• 1:10:14
  oh, I have thought of stuff. We could.
• 1:10:17
  You can tell me after. Yeah.
• 1:10:19
  But that's what I'm saying. Like I think it's going to be, I
• 1:10:23
  think 3 minds creatively are better than like one or two
• 1:10:28
  because we're all different people and they think that's the
• 1:10:32
  main thing. And not letting go of the
• 1:10:34
  podcast is a really good thing because it just means that
• 1:10:38
  there's more growth in this podcast that needs to be done.
• 1:10:43
  You know, it'll look a little different, but yeah, it'll
• 1:10:47
  still, you know, everything will work out and, you know, you guys
• 1:10:50
  are not fully getting rid of us. Also depends if I want to try to
• 1:10:55
  keep up with the times and I I don't know how I feel about this
• 1:10:59
  new format of like video podcast now.
• 1:11:02
  Like I feel like that just takes away of what podcast like
• 1:11:06
  originally started at. It started as just like audio, I
• 1:11:09
  feel like or like another form of like almost radio, but
• 1:11:13
  instead of like with me, you're just talking.
• 1:11:16
  And now everyone wants to go and make like video pass.
• 1:11:19
  Will we do video podcast? I don't know.
• 1:11:21
  Because that means I have to get up earlier.
• 1:11:24
  I have to make sure I look decent on camera.
• 1:11:26
  I have to pay attention to how I'm fidgeting.
• 1:11:30
  And that's more editing on me too with like editing the video
• 1:11:33
  in case I need to like edit something out.
• 1:11:35
  And I'm just like because like I know on Spotify now you can
• 1:11:39
  upload the videos with your podcast.
• 1:11:42
  So you can do either audio or video.
• 1:11:45
  A lot of YouTube now and they've put it now on Netflix.
• 1:11:50
  And for podcasts, I saw Pete Davidson is coming out with on
• 1:11:54
  Netflix exclusive podcast and now Apple Podcast is also going
• 1:11:58
  to update with the few with the feature to upload your videos
• 1:12:02
  for podcasts. I feel like if that was the
• 1:12:04
  case, then everybody should just have a YouTube channel, right?
• 1:12:08
  Like if that's the case it should have just been YouTube.
• 1:12:11
  Channel. No, I don't like it.
• 1:12:12
  Just I don't like videos because I still see the podcast tonight.
• 1:12:17
  Do YouTube, Yes. No, for that reason alone.
• 1:12:20
  I think you just do audio. And to be honest, when I listen
• 1:12:25
  to a podcast and it has a video because I usually listen in my
• 1:12:29
  car, but I don't even have video.
• 1:12:33
  Like I just listen because that's what you're supposed to
• 1:12:35
  do to me. Like so no.
• 1:12:38
  And you're right, if you wanted to be seen you would do YouTube.
• 1:12:42
  And like I understand because there are people like, OK, so
• 1:12:45
  obviously it's not bashing on anyone in the audience, right?
• 1:12:49
  Because some people do need that visual, you know, viewing which,
• 1:12:54
  OK, understandable. But again, you have YouTube for
• 1:12:57
  that, you have the YouTube channels for that that do any of
• 1:13:01
  like the the video along with their podcasts and everything.
• 1:13:05
  But it's just to automatically expect that every podcast is
• 1:13:08
  gonna start doing videos. It's kind of like that defeats
• 1:13:12
  the purpose when this started out as like an audio thing.
• 1:13:16
  I. Don't know, I want to see if
• 1:13:18
  everyone does it now I'll just. Take a picture of myself through
• 1:13:23
  the peace sign and put it on Instagram.
• 1:13:26
  You're like, hello there, this is who's talking to.
• 1:13:29
  Listen, at the end of the day, you follow us on our social
• 1:13:31
  media too, and I'm pretty sure that we're gonna be taking
• 1:13:34
  pictures when we go to the concerts and stuff like that.
• 1:13:37
  So like you will see our faces. Like listen, I'll.
• 1:13:41
  Do that. Well, right now the only face
• 1:13:43
  that's on our like actual podcasts, social media is mine,
• 1:13:47
  so. Did was there no pictures of you
• 1:13:50
  and Gina when you guys went to the concert for Holby?
• 1:13:54
  I didn't post them on our podcast.
• 1:13:56
  I post them on my personal Yeah. OK, OK, OK, I'm.
• 1:14:00
  Just saying if you really want to see I will like.
• 1:14:03
  Listen, we could post our our faces on like I'm just saying.
• 1:14:08
  I try to be careful with that because I don't know everyone's
• 1:14:09
  comfortability because like, because I know the video I made
• 1:14:12
  of the outfit I made for Hobie that's on like our podcast
• 1:14:16
  social media. And then like before too, like
• 1:14:18
  when I used to do birthday posts, like I would only post
• 1:14:21
  pictures of me. And then like when everyone
• 1:14:24
  else's birthdays came up, it was a time we were taking breaks, so
• 1:14:27
  we weren't posting so. Well, I guess we can pose this
• 1:14:30
  to the viewers. Would you want to see our faces
• 1:14:34
  more like a for concert content or just random times that we
• 1:14:40
  think we look cute like, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:14:41
  Like, do people want that interaction?
• 1:14:44
  If you've made it this far, people, can you let us know?
• 1:14:47
  Like would you want to see like an album of like going to a
• 1:14:54
  concert, like our fix and some just clips people getting
• 1:14:58
  attacked by confetti. Like, you know, that's already
• 1:15:03
  on our I don't know why I'm laughing because this is going
• 1:15:04
  to be me. But I mean, I'm just saying like
• 1:15:08
  if you guys want pictures that are more personalized of us on
• 1:15:13
  for like since we are talking to you, do you want to see a little
• 1:15:17
  bit of our faces to know who you're talking?
• 1:15:21
  Because I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be bothered posting
• 1:15:24
  like fun little things, especially from concert.
• 1:15:28
  Like if that's something that you guys want to see, just let
• 1:15:30
  us know. And it sucks too, because so my
• 1:15:33
  original thought last year for for this coming year was like me
• 1:15:39
  Simi meeting up and like taking a photo together and like
• 1:15:44
  hosting that, you know what I mean?
• 1:15:45
  Like, that's to me, I was all like, OK, well, that'd be
• 1:15:48
  perfect for the podcast then, because then it shows us like,
• 1:15:51
  hanging out and stuff like that. So it just obviously sucks
• 1:15:54
  because the three of us live in three different states.
• 1:15:57
  So I mean with the move I will be closer.
• 1:16:02
  To you I. Think for my understanding, I
• 1:16:05
  would be a four hour drive from you, yes.
• 1:16:09
  So there's more, there's a higher.
• 1:16:11
  Possibility of like us seeing each other now with you.
• 1:16:15
  Yes. It's not a long drive for me,
• 1:16:18
  it's a little longer. It's like.
• 1:16:20
  Six hours or something but still to get to semi now or when I
• 1:16:24
  move. No, when you move.
• 1:16:29
  I. Met for Rina, she said 6.
• 1:16:30
  Hours. Yeah, it's a little longer for
• 1:16:33
  me. I have to go.
• 1:16:35
  Through like Ohio. Like most of Ohio and stuff I'm
• 1:16:38
  like, I don't know, listen, I'm not good at directions.
• 1:16:41
  It would take you longer to get to me and on the border of.
• 1:16:45
  Oh, it would take forever to get to Florida when you.
• 1:16:49
  Live in Florida. It would take me so long.
• 1:16:52
  Yeah, but we're talking about driving, right?
• 1:16:54
  Driving wise. Yeah, driving wise, it would
• 1:16:58
  take her longer. To get to Florida versus like.
• 1:17:01
  Where you're going to be moving to.
• 1:17:03
  Yeah, like trying to figure out because from her perspective.
• 1:17:06
  It didn't sound like it. It's not like it would be
• 1:17:11
  because when I drive. To so if I was.
• 1:17:13
  To drive to Chicago, it's 9 1/2 hours, 10 hours for me, so it'd
• 1:17:18
  be a little less than that to get to Kentucky.
• 1:17:22
  Damn, so it. So it would make sense.
• 1:17:26
  That I'm. Further.
• 1:17:28
  Away. So for me to get to Lala, it
• 1:17:32
  would be like like 9 1/2 hours and you're a little closer, but
• 1:17:36
  you're 4 hours away, so yeah, it'd be like 6 hours to get to
• 1:17:40
  you. But yeah, yeah, but it would
• 1:17:46
  take me. Over a.
• 1:17:47
  Day it would take me like 14. Hours to drive to Florida, It's
• 1:17:51
  like a long time. Yeah.
• 1:17:53
  And people don't realize how long the state is like Florida.
• 1:17:56
  'S long as the state. Yeah, because I have I have my
• 1:18:00
  neighbors drive used. To drive to Florida and it they
• 1:18:04
  would have to take, they actually did it one time and
• 1:18:07
  that there is actually a car train that you can catch in like
• 1:18:12
  Maryland or something. And it you and your car can go
• 1:18:15
  to Florida by train. You, like, drive your car onto
• 1:18:19
  the train and you have like a little seat in the train and you
• 1:18:23
  can eat and sleep and you get there with your car.
• 1:18:27
  But you can do that. And that's what they do now
• 1:18:31
  because it's crazy. But yeah, it would take a long
• 1:18:34
  time, but you will be closer. But I, yeah, like, I would be
• 1:18:38
  curious to see if people would like social media with pictures
• 1:18:44
  and personal touches. That would be, I mean, I would
• 1:18:48
  be fine with posting stuff now and again.
• 1:18:51
  That would be great if we can get some audience engagement,
• 1:18:55
  which I've been begging for. For the past five years so it's
• 1:18:59
  time now guys sending some engagements, sending some emails
• 1:19:07
  and I. Think too like it will help us
• 1:19:09
  to discover maybe content we can make for the podcast and things
• 1:19:13
  we can talk about because like if you engage even with the
• 1:19:17
  social. Media posts that we need.
• 1:19:19
  Then maybe it'll inspire something.
• 1:19:21
  You never know. It's a new era, OK?
• 1:19:25
  It's our comeback, right? For this year, yes.
• 1:19:32
  Yeah, 'cause technically this. Is is this the first one
• 1:19:35
  getting? Posted in 2026.
• 1:19:38
  No, it's the second one. Yeah, 'cause you guys.
• 1:19:41
  Oh, this is the first, yeah. So yeah, it is our comeback.
• 1:19:44
  He used to come back. Yeah, last time we posted.
• 1:19:47
  Something was in November. For the.
• 1:19:49
  Anniversary for the anniversary, yeah, but yeah.
• 1:19:54
  I feel like this is all good vibes though.
• 1:19:58
  All right. Well, it seems like we're
• 1:20:00
  wrapping up, so is there anything else we wanted?
• 1:20:02
  To talk about head on out of here, I know a majority was
• 1:20:05
  talking about BTS has come back, but you know, stay tuned.
• 1:20:09
  It's excitement. It's excitement.
• 1:20:13
  It is. It's.
• 1:20:14
  Excitement for us and it's. Excitement for.
• 1:20:17
  Fellow armies that may be listening to us.
• 1:20:20
  So we're already again trying to figure out my schedule, try to
• 1:20:24
  find ways of like things I'm watching to do more review low
• 1:20:29
  key, and debating if I want to do an episode on the Next Top
• 1:20:33
  Model documentary or not. Was I the only one out here that
• 1:20:36
  watched that show? No, I've watched it.
• 1:20:39
  I've watched it. So here's here's my problem.
• 1:20:43
  I am so in defense. Because I did watch it, but
• 1:20:45
  here's. The thing is that.
• 1:20:46
  Tyra Banks, fuck that bitch First off.
• 1:20:50
  Second off she also like Co produced that documentary.
• 1:20:56
  So that's a rumor that's been going around this documentary.
• 1:21:00
  She had nothing to do with as far as the production side.
• 1:21:03
  I think there was like maybe things they had to talk about to
• 1:21:06
  get her on. Because obviously you thought,
• 1:21:08
  well I don't want to spoil it, I don't care.
• 1:21:11
  Obviously at the end you saw she was promoting a Cycle 25.
• 1:21:15
  If that happens or not, we will see.
• 1:21:17
  But she had nothing to do with the actual production side.
• 1:21:20
  Isn't there another one? Is there another documentary
• 1:21:23
  coming out? Yes.
• 1:21:24
  Yeah, one on e-news is doing, which I got to find a way to
• 1:21:27
  watch that. Because it's going to be
• 1:21:29
  separate episodes, so one episode we'll talk about
• 1:21:31
  America's Next Top Model, but the other ones are going to talk
• 1:21:33
  about Doctor Phil and The Price is Right, which I'm very curious
• 1:21:37
  about what drama would happen with the Price is Right.
• 1:21:39
  What happened? What happened with Price is
• 1:21:41
  Right? Why did you know some of that?
• 1:21:44
  The Doctor Phil one and the. And the America's Next Top
• 1:21:47
  Model, it's like. OK, that makes sense.
• 1:21:49
  It's like why you're talking about, but what price is right
• 1:21:52
  like so that's what I said right one about is it about?
• 1:21:57
  Bob. Barker Price is right.
• 1:21:59
  Or the Drew. Drew 1 Bob.
• 1:22:01
  All right. Yeah, I know.
• 1:22:02
  And Bob TI do know that. At least it's rumored.
• 1:22:06
  I don't. We don't.
• 1:22:07
  I don't think there has been any confirmation.
• 1:22:09
  No, I haven't heard anything. But I do know about Bobby.
• 1:22:12
  Mr. Bobby. I do know about him.
• 1:22:15
  And he was not a good humor. That's all right.
• 1:22:17
  Well, maybe we're going to talk about that.
• 1:22:20
  Yeah, because. I grew up on prices, right I?
• 1:22:24
  I did grow up on prices, right I?
• 1:22:26
  Anytime. I was sick.
• 1:22:27
  I was like excited because I could watch that show, but then
• 1:22:31
  when I like started still watching it with him and then
• 1:22:34
  hearing things about him, like it kind of soured it for me.
• 1:22:40
  But like, it's so funny because this is a generational.
• 1:22:43
  Thing I know nothing. About Top Model except for like
• 1:22:46
  clips, but I know about prices, right?
• 1:22:50
  Yeah, see, like I, I saw top. America's top.
• 1:22:54
  Model but let's just say relationship with Bob Barker and
• 1:23:00
  the women that. Like showed the products,
• 1:23:03
  there's there's some stuff that went down that those women were
• 1:23:09
  not treated well and he had a tendency to not be a nice
• 1:23:14
  person. So I think I will be interested.
• 1:23:18
  I think I actually might watch that one because that to me is
• 1:23:22
  super interesting that they're actually going to.
• 1:23:25
  Dig in there. Because he was protected for a
• 1:23:27
  long time. Aren't they all always
• 1:23:29
  protected? Yeah, but like I felt like.
• 1:23:32
  They might just say, oh, he's of.
• 1:23:34
  That generation and push it under the rug like they do.
• 1:23:37
  So I'm actually surprised. So I'm wondering if the women
• 1:23:41
  are coming out like the. Women that worked.
• 1:23:43
  There, I'm actually very interested.
• 1:23:46
  I didn't because I do know they've shown like little clips
• 1:23:50
  of. It and it looks like women are
• 1:23:54
  being injured for them. Good for them.
• 1:23:58
  Yeah, I'll watch. It just to support them because
• 1:24:01
  like, hell yeah, even though he's dead, it doesn't matter.
• 1:24:06
  I think people need to know. It just sucks that he is not
• 1:24:09
  here to like face the accountable.
• 1:24:12
  Yeah, not that they really are, but you know, but I actually am
• 1:24:16
  very intrigued. So yeah, I might watch that and
• 1:24:19
  then we can talk about it cuz I'm actually very interested in
• 1:24:22
  that. Cuz like I said, the Top Model I
• 1:24:24
  didn't know a lot about like I wasn't invested in that, but it
• 1:24:30
  was. So was I.
• 1:24:32
  I was. And it was so funny because like
• 1:24:35
  I was. I.
• 1:24:37
  Was talking to Shay about. It because Shay watched it first
• 1:24:40
  and I was telling her, seeing some of it, it like brought me
• 1:24:45
  back to like when I was watching it and I'm like, I remember
• 1:24:50
  this. I remember this episode and
• 1:24:52
  there's certain episodes where I literally remember feeling so
• 1:24:55
  uncomfortable that I would just shut off the TV and like, it's
• 1:24:59
  fine, I don't need to finish the rest of it.
• 1:25:01
  Yeah, cuz of how crazy they were starting to get.
• 1:25:05
  Yeah, and I do wish they got. Into the older seasons too, like
• 1:25:08
  when they brought the. Guys on cuz I mean I watched up
• 1:25:11
  until then too and I definitely blocked out when Rita Ora.
• 1:25:15
  I've been saying this all day. When did Rita Ora take over the
• 1:25:18
  last two cycles? I don't remember that at all.
• 1:25:21
  I don't remember that and that must have been a time where like
• 1:25:24
  I stopped watching it. Because there was a point where
• 1:25:26
  I did stop, and then when they brought the male models, I
• 1:25:30
  started watching it again. A little bit, yes.
• 1:25:32
  Then again, they started and then it started getting crazy
• 1:25:35
  again and I'm like, yeah, it's fine, I don't need to watch.
• 1:25:37
  So are they gonna do? Is Cycle 25 gonna be male?
• 1:25:41
  And female or we don't know. We don't know.
• 1:25:45
  Oh, and I feel like Tired of the Cycle 20.
• 1:25:47
  Five. We'll see.
• 1:25:47
  I mean, where's she gonna film it?
• 1:25:49
  Australia lives in Australia now.
• 1:25:51
  Yeah, yeah, probably. And I don't think they'll.
• 1:25:55
  Live scary anyways. Yeah, to be completely honest,
• 1:26:00
  because of. The backlash that.
• 1:26:01
  She's getting from this documentary.
• 1:26:03
  I don't think it would air and if they did it wouldn't last
• 1:26:07
  long. And she's not the only one I
• 1:26:10
  think deserves the backlash. But if we talk.
• 1:26:12
  About it I'll get into it more yeah but yeah I'm I'm I'm
• 1:26:15
  because there's one of them I'm looking at and I'm like don't.
• 1:26:18
  You try to turn the. Tables on this, Sir.
• 1:26:21
  You were just as worse as Tyra. I think I know who you're
• 1:26:25
  talking about, and I don't even know.
• 1:26:28
  And I think I know who you're talking about.
• 1:26:29
  Well, I think I talked about it in the server so.
• 1:26:31
  If you heard me talking. About in the server that you.
• 1:26:33
  Know but yeah, no, I think he got off a little too.
• 1:26:38
  He got off a little too easy, A lot of them got off way too
• 1:26:41
  easy. And Tara Brinks is still not
• 1:26:43
  being. Accountable for anything?
• 1:26:45
  No. So Tara will.
• 1:26:48
  Yeah. But.
• 1:26:50
  Yeah, there's. Things like that and maybe
• 1:26:52
  other. Documentaries we find.
• 1:26:54
  You know, I was thinking of ideas as we sit here and talk.
• 1:26:56
  Maybe I could do a fun thing. It's like a different
• 1:26:58
  generational thing where like whether it's music or TVI feel
• 1:27:02
  like me and Lala talk about this once.
• 1:27:04
  But I was thinking because I'm making Gina watch a lot of
• 1:27:06
  things I watch, maybe I could show her like ATV show season or
• 1:27:10
  two of my generation and see how she would react.
• 1:27:15
  It's true. I turned 41 OK.
• 1:27:17
  I am an older generation. It's fine, Gina, I still love
• 1:27:20
  you, you know, K dramas. Try to see if I can get more.
• 1:27:27
  Guests on here, I don't know, I would like to have Shay back if
• 1:27:31
  she's willing and able to to talk about BTS album.
• 1:27:34
  And there's one other person I was thinking of maybe trying to
• 1:27:37
  ask to be on here that we'll have to figure out because of
• 1:27:40
  diet and differences, but something BTS related.
• 1:27:44
  Oh, I know who you're talking. I have a person.
• 1:27:46
  Yeah, I have another person in mind if I do.
• 1:27:49
  Like hey drama reviews that I would like to.
• 1:27:50
  Have on here. Plus it'd be helpful.
• 1:27:53
  Yeah. Plus it'd be helpful to have her
• 1:27:55
  on here because she studies Korean, so she can help
• 1:27:59
  interpret some things. I may think the captions were
• 1:28:01
  saying, but she could be like, well, Simone, they actually
• 1:28:03
  meant this. So got some ideas, got to figure
• 1:28:06
  out how to plan them. But yeah, so we are back because
• 1:28:09
  I was thinking may not frequent. I can't talk anymore.
• 1:28:13
  That means it's time to go. It may not be as frequent, but
• 1:28:17
  we will still be here. You can't get rid of us.
• 1:28:20
  What did Dylan O'Brien say as Void styles?
• 1:28:25
  No Teen Wolf fans over here. Shits me.
• 1:28:29
  Listen, you know how long it's been since I've watched it, and
• 1:28:32
  I never. Finished it.
• 1:28:33
  We've had this conversation before.
• 1:28:35
  I've never been watching you on Netflix.
• 1:28:37
  I'm doing a rewatch on net with. With what time, woman, what
• 1:28:42
  time? Will.
• 1:28:44
  Make you I'm being. With the other anime too, that
• 1:28:48
  could be that could be a great. Interaction.
• 1:28:51
  Question if you've gotten this far into the podcast, If you're
• 1:28:56
  able to comment like on Spotify and stuff, finish my sentence.
• 1:28:59
  What does the very last episode of Teen Wolf season 3 three B.
• 1:29:04
  Does Void Styles tell regular Styles and Lydia?
• 1:29:10
  What's his famous line? And then we'll just go.
• 1:29:15
  Prepare. I feel so-called out right now.
• 1:29:18
  I. Have to watch someday.
• 1:29:21
  Oh, we're watching it after Fairy Tale.
• 1:29:22
  I already decided that. Actually, we might watch it
• 1:29:25
  before fairy tale. We'll see.
• 1:29:27
  We might do an in between. Like if we don't feel like doing
• 1:29:29
  fairy tale, we'll watch Teen Wolf.
• 1:29:30
  So maybe we should discuss our fairy tale watching.
• 1:29:34
  One day since we've almost get we have so much time done.
• 1:29:39
  Yes, we're almost done. Well, yes, I.
• 1:29:42
  Think that wraps it. Up for at least the recording.
• 1:29:46
  So I have been Simone, it's been Gina and Lala.
• 1:29:53
  I said your name for you, but it's OK.
• 1:29:55
  Yes. And that was Lala.
• 1:30:00
  We're going to go. Guys if.
• 1:30:03
  You have a good. Day a good whatever you listen
• 1:30:06
  to, wherever you. Listen to this, we will see you.
• 1:30:08
  Later. Bye all.
• 1:30:11
  Bye, Gina. You didn't say bye Bye.
• 1:30:16
  OK, There we go. Thank you.
