Give the Sea Moss Gel a Break

On this week’s episode, we kick things off with a classic catch up. We talk Brooklyn Beckham, Colleen asking ChatGPT to generate a photo of her and Spencer and Bridget immediately requesting proof of life. We also get into everything we’ve been watching lately and reaffirm, once again, that our ultimate life goal is to be Martha Stewart when we grow up.

Then we get into the story of the week, DIANE SCHULER. Trigger warning: this case involves child death and a fatal car accident. Colleen walks us through the tragic crash that took the lives of four children and four adults and the many unanswered questions surrounding what really happened that day. It’s heavy, confusing, and deeply heartbreaking.

Because we can’t leave you in emotional ruin, we close out with a little pick me up by talking about Bridget's new Girlhood playlist and Colleen’s upcoming Paris trip. Go buy yourselves something nice!!! We're on a floating rock, we're all in debt and who cares anymore?!?!

Let's get loud. Let's get loud. Ooh, sound. Let's get loud. Let's get loud. I think I've s this on the pop probably like three times, but it's just in my head today. JLo's been really quiet since that dropped. Oh, that is true. I will say still no words for her. Nothing. Not a zilch. That's not what I meant. But also she just, well, I saw a video of her singing live recently and she is screeching, no, she's just not a, I just, I feel bad for her though. I do. I don't think she's a nice person. No, like anyone who's worked with her is like, she's her GL evil bitch. Did we talk about her robot? Oh my God. She didn't speak to him or look at him so bad. It's horrible. She like doesn't know how to interact with humans No kindly. Although she works with them 24 7, so that's, I know, that's what I'm saying. Like how, yeah, and I heard an awful story. She was like essentially asleep while people did her nails. For her pedicure. She was asleep on her stomach and they had to like do her toenails upside down. Take that with a grain of salt. I saw that in the internet, but I was like, imagine being so rude that you can't even like, fine, if you wanna nap, I guess maybe it's easier for them if you're like not moving. Like not really though. Like you like get on your back. The universe like, what the fuck are we doing here? I don't know. I, I feel she's had a particularly harsh fall from Grace, and I'm sure that is not easy, but she can just like, go on a yacht and shut the fuck up. No. Yeah, I think she's fine. I think she's fine, but I kind of feel bad. I don't. Okay. Great. Hi everyone. Hey. Welcome to this week's episode of Sippa with the Shannon's. We're cousins and every other week we sit down, we sip on some wine, we talk some shit, and we have a good giggle. I'm Bridget Shannon, and I'm calling Shannon and I have a lot to fucking say today. Wow. Coming in so hot. I love it. Go. And I knew that you'd be so proud, but I do just wanna say that on my way here I did was, it was mid-sentence in my head.'cause you know, I, I talked to myself a lot, but in my head, all 20 for seven. Yeah. It doesn't stop, doesn't it? It's, it's the m right, and immediately was into a church song from the seventh grade, and now I already forgot it since I've come in here. Isn't that crazy? Isn't the mind so weird? The mind is weird. The mind is weird. I, I already forgot what it was. I actually in an airport the other day, heard. Hold music and was sent directly to 10 years ago when I was a sales rep waiting cold calling people and waiting on hold. And it was like this particular Cisco hold music. I, you, you would've thought I was in 2015, like my body transported. Mm-hmm. I have not had one of those moments, like, you know, if you hear a ringtone or something and it just like sends you somewhere else. Yeah. I was like, oh, I'm not in this airport. I am, I have a headset on. Oh no. Back in the day we had, she's smiling and dialing. We had a full blown phone. Like I used to get neck cramps'cause I would hold it in between my shoulder. Yeah. Oh, icky. Like full blown hanging up. There's no one I wanna talk to on the phone for that long that I get a neck cramp. I do miss the full blown hangup there. Tap tapping. The end call thing does not do the same thing as slamming the phone down. That's true. A crunch on the receiver just like a boom. That's true. I have that right now. You have what? The phone on. Oh, at work? Yeah. At you. Like a landline? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. With the, with the loopy, the loopy wire and everything. Oh, I love that. I know. I don't like to talk to people. I do love, I saw this somewhere, don't quote me on this, that a neighborhood of parents, instead of having their kids have cell phones, they're all investing in landlines. So that if the kids wanna talk, they either go play or they like call each other and actually communicate and don't communicate via like Snapchat or Instagram, whatever the TikTok, whatever the fuck kids are using. And I love that. I do. I want to sit up against the wall, twirl the loops around my finger as I chat with someone like Nana used to. I love that. That's what I want. That, that's brought me back for a second. So I want, maybe we bring back the landline. I would be down for a landline. They still sell them. I saw them at BJ's the other day. I also love a rotary phone. What's that? It's when the dial is flat on the phone, right? Mm-hmm. It looks like this. Oh, those ones. The old school ones? Yeah. Where you put your finger in and spin all the way around. Yes, yes, yes. I like those. I love those ones. Now they haves like fake ones for like decor. I always pick them up. You can't pass one and not pick it up, you know? Oh, you have to pick it up. They have one ones at weddings that you can record a message into. Oh, that's actually really cute. Yeah, I do like those. Have you seen those new wedding things where they take a picture of everyone through the night and do like a really fast slideshow? So it's like one person in a half a second. So it's like everybody having fun at the wedding, but it's like of their face. Mm-hmm. So you get to see everyone. I was like, oh, that's really cute too. That is cool. What were we talking about? Oh, we're about to have, oh, that's the type of day we're having. Sorry. We, this is classic us of getting so off topic so quick. Oh God. Tell you something else. The church song. Yes, the church song. I pulled into somebody else's driveway all the way here. Two asses down. I've never done that. What the fuck? That's the type of day I'm having. Okay. So we're just out of it. And then I, when I backed out, I backed up over the snowbank and you know, my, my golf cart ain't doing great. She ain't doing great. The golf carts seeing better days. It, she has, she's 2024 too and she still ain't stepping through, but she's also seen worse days. That's true. Yeah, that's true. Yes, the church song and then I pulled into the wrong driveway. That was the little bit that happened to me before that, but Okay. What else do you have to tell us? Oh, I'm, am I just gonna, yeah, go. Should I start fire? Well, I didn't any here, the reason I have so much to say is'cause I didn't do anything. I was trapped in for the snow. Like I fell asleep during the football game. Like I literally did nothing. I worked, I am gonna Paris next week, so I kind of was like, it's fine. Yeah. Thank you so much. It, thank you so much. So that is also partially the reason I have so much random shit team. Oh my God. I'm so excited for you. Thank you so much number. I dunno. I'm poor. I'm scared because I have no self, I have no self-control. Yeah, who cares? Okay, you're right. Okay. We're on a floating rock. I just had to say that out loud. That's on fire. It's fine. Fine. I'm fine. Yeah. I legit. Yeah, I do nothing. I have nothing to say. Not one thing. Anyways, what I have to say is the Brooklyn Beckham of it all. Oh my God. What on Earth? So, I don't know if I believe it fully, who, like, it's not that I don't believe Nicola or whatever the fuck her name is in Brooklyn. It's just like, where's the footage? Why is no one this happened in 2022. Okay. Explain to the people who are not chronically online like we are. Right. Okay. Allegedly. When Brooklyn Beckham. Victoria Beckham and David Beckham's son got married to whatever. Nicola, she's a billionaire. She doesn't matter in this story, honestly, to be honest with you. They got married in 2022 and now more recently it's coming out. That weird shit happened at their wedding. They like don't, they're kind of like estranged from the rest of the family. Like David and Victoria, the two of them as a couple. They don't like approve of her and they're just like not down for their relationship. They don't support it. And something came out about it recently and I don't know why, I forget. He aired all their dirty laundry one day, right? You on there? Maybe. He had just had a lot, a couple drinks and went to town on Instagram. Went on Instagram and typed out like no pictures, just typed out like five or six things posts about his family of like, I can't keep quiet anymore. And just said all these horrible things like you know that they're basically fake and they do everything for show and. Victoria Beckham was gonna design a dress for Nicola for the wedding and like backed out last minute. So she didn't have a dress. They made her feel very other that she wasn't welcome. They like went out of their way to make her feel like shit. We love a man that defends. But also she wore a dress in the designer came out and said they worked on it for over a year. Hmm. And she even said it too. So it's like, was this now very wealthy people have dress changes. So maybe it was like the backup dress or the dress she changed into, I don't know. Yeah. But it's like, okay, well we have proof that you worked with this designer because Nicholas said it and the designer said it. So like that. What, where does the mom dress come into this? With Victoria Beckham. Then he says, which was probably the most upsetting part, was that Victoria Beckham, danced on Brooklyn Beckham, her son at his wedding in inappropriately. Yeah. It was supposed to be a, it made him uncomfortable. It was supposed to be a dance of, with him and Nicola. And she was just standing in the middle of the stage like, I'm here. Yeah. And I guess he was very uncomfortable. And so people are like, where is the footage? Like we need to see the videographer. There's footage somewhere, whoever's leaking that is gonna make millions. Yeah, it, it just is really messy. And then Victoria Beckham got awarded something recently and the whole family showed up, obviously, except for him and Nicola. Exactly. It just is very upsetting. And he has basically said, I have absolutely no interest in reconciliation. I never wanna speak to them again. That's crazy. That is so like deep shit. If you're never gonna talk, not talking to your parents and siblings ever again for one human being. Like obviously you love her deeply. I love that you defend her, but something is not right. Is it about Nicolas? Is it something about Hi. I don't know. I don't know. It sounded like all of his issues were around the wedding Yes. And how they treat her. Right. Right. Alt We'll never know. And they got their vows renewed and that's why'cause they had a vow renewal and people were at online asking why they got their vows renewed. And then he was like,'cause this is just us and how it should have been. Yeah. And it was like just her family. That's why. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. That's why I couldn't remember why it randomly came vote. See, messy, messy, messy. Yeah. What a PR nightmare. The, for you specifically the dance nationals, did you see the LSU? Mm-hmm. Bridget? It was I don't know why I randomly follow this, but every year, like the dance, I don't know what it stands for, it's like UUDA or whatever us something or other. But it's the dance nationals for all the schools and. LSU Tigers are a sleigh. You definitely recognize their winning performance from a couple years ago. If I played it, you'd be like, oh, yeah, yeah. That was all over fucking social. All over TikTok, all over social media. Okay. They redid Kendrick Kumar's halftime show. No, Bridgette is, you have, you have to watch it right now. Like, it's so fucking good. Oh my God. Oh my God. Shut up. And they didn't win. Oh, the, I think they got second place, if I recall correctly. LSU Dance Team 2026. Yeah, of course they pop right up. And now I followed the coaches Louisiana State. They're iconic. They're like, number one, they're like the next cheer. They need a show. No, it's so good. I've watched it like a thousand times. Oh my God. Oh yeah. Yeah. Ah, oh my. I could run through a wall right now. My taxi tray is thinking I could do this. No, you could. Okay. Where is it? Where is it? Let's go. Not like that. They had um, someone from their team, like a supporter, wear a mustard costume, so when that happened, he popped out of the, the shut. He's like in row two and it's in, he's in a full mustard costume. I saw him. Wow. Oh my God. No, it's so good. That was incredible. I think the winners were, I forget what state, what state it was, but they did Frank Sinatra. Oh, it was so good. And a lot of people were like, I don't get it. And everybody was like, oh no. If you're a dancer, you get, you get it. Like, this is crazy. This, that was nuts. I feel I always felt that way about cheerleading. Yes. Like I would watch a team and I would be like, oh, they, they are that bitch. That is the exact flex that you think it is. I would agree. It's, it's gonna, they keep saying it's gonna be like a show that they need, like, the Dallas Cowboys type of documentary and the Cheerer documentary on them. Oh hundred percent because they're iconic. They've been around for quite a while. Wow. I have chills. That was incredible. I'm so glad I watched that. I'm, so, I done you the whole time. You, I thought, I would've thought you knew, to be honest with you. Yeah, you should watch their old one that when they won, I think it was from 2023. So fucking good. But that's for later. A thing I had to share with you is I was watching, oh, I watched that movie, the Rip on Netflix. I do. It's on my list. Okay, good. We'll talk about it later then. But side note what's her name's in it? Tiana Taylor. And obviously I know who she is, right? Duh. Batty. But however, I was like, I need, I was like feeling, I just like need you to know that I know that she was on my super sweet 16, like 15 years ago and she was like, so that's crazy. And I go, no, I'm like that. But I didn't really, I was like, I'm like 90% sure that girl was on my super sweet 16. And so we looked it up and she was like, that Erin in 2007. Like, how the fuck did you just look at her and know, know that she was on my Sweet 1616? I'm like, Bridgette's gonna kill me. You need to be studied by scientists. I loved her Sweet 16 party. You, you need to give your body to science. You need to let. Someone dissect your brain. Gonna grandma wing sweet 16 of all the things to know Tiana Taylor from, and that's, no, I don't even mean that in offensive way. Like, so sorry, my ignorance is really ignorance thing right now, but like, that's what I thought of when I saw her face. Do you know that's Jayla too. Jayla was Jennifer Lawrence was super sweet. 16. Oh, I don't remember her. Pretty sure. Yeah. That's TI don't remember her. What's his name? Diddy son was on it too. Quincy. Ew. Anyway, I needed to talk about how I've just been chat. GBT like away, like I've been, I I'm making the most of my premium. We have to talk about what you did. We have to talk about it. You have to share with the class. I felt inspired Colleen. I asked Chad, my girl, first of all, she's just like, I don't even need to, like, I've never need a therapist. She tells me everything I wanna hear scary in my tone as well. And she's so much more sensitive than me, you know? She made me a nice angelic, no. What was the prompt? The prompt was, can you make me a nice photo? Something along those like, he made me a nice photo of me and my dog. My dead dog, Spencer reuniting in heaven, and she made a beautiful portrait that I will be hanging in my home forever. She sent us a photo AI generated of her and her dead dog, hugging in front of the pearly gates with doves in the clouds. I did ask them to tone it down. I gasped out loud. I want you to know the photo was beautiful. The prompt is scary. It worried me. I, I said, what state are you in? Touch some grass. I asked her for proof of life, I did this. I created this silently next to the next to the plumber at work. I calmed the plumber. He is the plumber at work for my coworkers. Yeah.'cause that's how we started out as I was like, like the plumber. Oh, how was the date with the plumber? And it just stuck. So he, they were always like, the plumber. The plumber. So I just went to go say that to you, but mans I did it with man. And I started to cry and he was like, that's okay. He's like, that's a really wonderful photo, but lemme tell you something. Oh my God. Nice. The reactions, the reactions per group message was actually hilarious. I sent it to my mom. My mom was like, I'm so upset. I sent it to my high school group message and they were like, oh, mg Colleen, this is so upsetting. And then I have tears like, so beautiful. And then Emily goes, spencer would be so happy that you found Johnny Boy. And I was like, yes. He would like, thank you. I needed to hear that. That's all. And what was our group chat like? It was like, are you okay? Like this is, I'm worried. I'm concerned. You're certified in saying get a lobotomy type of vibes. You wouldn't say that, but you, you would think it. No. Because who is the most supportive of you of all time? Ew. No, Aaron. Yeah, Aaron and I shared the same brand actually. And what did Aaron say? I don't remember. I don't remember actually. But it was something good that was like, this is a slight acknowledgement yet you're perfect kind of thing. Oh, speaking of your sister, I did text her for her opinion on today's episode. Oh, you did? And we had the exact same brain and thoughts obviously. So Colleen sends it to us. I don't remember. And she says, I asked Chad to make a photo of me and Spencer reuniting in heaven. I'm literally not okay. And I said, Colleen, respectfully, what on earth? I mean, it's gorgeous, but I'm worried about your sanity. That Yes, yes. That's what I meant. That's what I was trying to get at. Erin said, oh my God, Colleen, it is a beautiful picture in sentiment. I'm sorry, I did also laugh, but I love it for you. And you went, I'm wheezing, Erin. You're always so supportive. And I said, I need a photo of you touching grass for proof of life. And then she follows up with, I asked her to tone it down, and this time they're just in the clouds. There are no pearly gates and there are no doves. So we'll be posting those. That's the one we'll be posting those. Oh, thank God. Thank God. And Karen didn't respond. Karen's probably Karen said, not today. Satan, Karen's on a different planet. Pretty usual. I did something so terribly yesterday. Oh no. Why? Yeah. You're not gonna like it, but I just have to say it out loud. I went tanning yesterday in a bed. Yeah. On purpose. It felt so good, Bridgette. It felt so, I, I literally, that's how desperate you are for sunlight. No. Yeah. I would never, you know, I would never, I'm aware of the, the circumstances, I'm aware of what this will do to, to me, what kids are and that I'm pale and don't need to do that. It was, I, it's part of my, when I walk the Planet Fitness and, you know, read my Kindle, I just passed it and was like, can I just go in there for like five minutes? It made my whole fucking day. I felt like, aw, I swear I don't comfort me. People, if you're an esthetician, if you're a nurse, if you're a doctor, don't comfort me. Okay? We get it. We, I understand. We understand. Okay. But it's, it's, I was having a meant to be. I today was looking at myself in the mirror. I was like, you know what, there's literally color in my face. Like I, I'm not being dramatic. Like I have life to my cheeks. Okay, but where's all your, your faked tan stuff? I have it. I just didn't, I just needed to feel it. The warmth. That's all. Yeah. There is a difference because you're, what you're saying is you weren't looking for the skin difference. You were looking for the feeling of sun on your face. Correct. That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. Yeah. I just need warmth. I actually, Colleen, I don't fucking blame you now. If you were doing it every week, I'd punch you in the throat, but I don't find the need to do that. Five minutes. You don't even put sunscreen on. What the fuck do I care? You go five minutes in a goddamn 10. I am burnt. I will say bad day to wear tights for me. I was itching my butt like, no, tomorrow. Okay. What's with that? Have you ever sat on a chair and you're like, why is this chair making my ass so itchy? I don't know why that is, but Yes, that's correct. I'm gonna ask Chad. She'll tell us. She'll be real with us. And I know that as someone who's worn tights to school every day for like 13 years, battle. Legit a battle. You're not alone and you're not imagining it. Chat stands with us Fabric irritation. So either rough upholstery, cheap synthetics, or mesh or like woven chairs. Mm-hmm. Micro irritation or sensitive skin. That's what it can irritate. Detergent or cleaning Chemical residue. I think it's the chair.'cause it's only when we sit on the chair. Tar, heat and sweat equals itch city. Hmm. Static electricity. fabrics rubbing together, which makes sense about tights. I'm a sweaty bitch, so that makes sense. Clothing irritation. Do you wanna know something so disrespectful that the plumber said to me the other day that he didn't even know it was disrespectful? Oh, sure. Oh, sorry. I said the plumber again. Man's. He went to go touch me or something and I was like, oh, we are at a bar. And I mistakenly wore a cardigan. Okay. A big, thick cardigan. It was very warm in the bar. Why would you do that? Because it was cold out that day. It was snowing. Okay. So it was a little cold and we walked to the bar. Oh, okay. Fair. So I was like, okay. Little, little cardigan. Yeah. And it's a bar where it's all windows, it's pretty easily, pretty chill in there. So. Hottest can be. Oh, it was probably packed. And they, were you there for the game? No, it was a different day. Oh, this was the week before. But it was like flaring outside. And I was like, come here. Like, I had the wor, my under boob sweat was so bad that it was like my shirt was wet to my belly belly. On my boobs, like where my boobs are. Not like my whole stomach, but, so I was like, come here. And I like put his hand underneath my, and he was like, whoa. And I was like, I'm just, I was sweating that bad. Like, I'm not kidding. I said, I was sweating. I'm not, I'm not joking. And he was like, well, don't take this personally, but like, isn't it always like that? And I was like, oh no. He goes, well, I don't know, like, sometimes don't you just like under like, and he like lifted it up and felt underneath and he, he's like, I feel like it's always a little bit like that. I was like, never speak to me again. The heat's coming from my undercarriage. I got heat coming from every cracking crevice. But I'm not a sweater. I'm genuinely not a sweater. I am warm though. No, I would say under the boob is a, a warm location. Yeah. But like, I, I clean her. I'm like, she's clean. No, he's not saying you're not clean, but he's saying underneath your boob is, it is just a hot place. Which is accurate. No, I, I know. I feel that's fair. Yeah. But my brain is like, how long have you thought that I've had sweaty on boobs? Oh, you think I'm just a sweaty bitch? And so you just haven't shared it until right now? I think I just have swoops when the topic came up and brought it up. That's why pet peeve about things. Someone's like, oh, I thought about that like a couple months ago. But didn't, like you just didn't say it. Say it in the moment. Say how you feel in the moment. Don't bring it up. When I bring it up months later, then I'll just spiral and think about how many times have you thought that, well, what if they forget? Because you do that sometimes too, where you like, oh, you thought it, and then it's gone. And then a couple months later you'll be like, oh my God, the last time that happened, I thought this that is true. Maybe it's a forgetful thing and not like I've been harboring this thing against you this entire time thing. I'll think about it. Am I being too positive? Yeah, a little bit. Okay. Fuck those bitches. Bring it up in the moment. What's the fucking problem? No, it's not about like, I don't care if you forget, but it's like one of those things where you're like, yeah, like you're acknowledging the fact that you thought it multiple times and didn't say it. Yes. It's like pet peeve. Especially if it's about me. Ew. Yeah. Ick. Ew. Ick, ick, ick. We must talk about Martha Stewart on iconic. Paige's Orba was living my dream when she was like, do you know what bed rotting is? And she goes, bed rotting. And she like emphasizes the teases. Yes. Yeah. And she was like, I have never done that a day in my life. I was like, I just wanna be you when I grow up. She's just like up working on her yard. Like that's what she's doing. I saw a TikTok she posted the other day. She is just holy in a snowblower. It almost looks like a golf cart. Yes. Yeah. And she's just with her little beanie on her little, you know, she's got a dog in or something. Yeah. Just going down the way she's in there, snow blowing, cooking up dope in the crockpot. Literally probably. I, I love her. I love her. Her and Paige specifically too is such a co'cause I feel very much on pa Paige's wavelength. Like I just wanna lay, I just wanna hang with my girly pop. I want a glass of wine and a cute outfit and like I just wanna be left alone. Yeah. And Martha's like such a, they're like my two sides of my brain. Yeah. Martha's like one of those people that like, they're definitely like the way she talks about things, people can definitely take the wrong way and be like, one, she's a bitch. Two, she's just like ridiculous and so outta touch. I don't think so. I don't think so at all. I don't think if she was a man, it, it would be so cool. It's just'cause she's a woman. She went to jail. She can do whatever the fuck she wants. She can do whatever the fuck she wants. She is a queen for some bullshit, by the way. And I will keep buying her cookbooks. And that's that a hundred percent we support Martha till the day that we die. And that's that about the, yeah. I do have to tell you that I did start the traders, which season? I started season three because Okay. We told Iron we'd wait and watch the most recent one with her and she was away. So we are being nice. Okay. So I am. I'm a big Bob, the drag queen lover. Oh, the best he got on my nerves. Mm. He, he got on my nerves. He was just like doing the most, and it's like in the traders, you're just, but that's Bob. No, but that's just not what you do in the traders. You wonder why you were the first one who gets sent home. Oh, I don't know, Bob. Yeah, Bob's. Bob's a big mouth. Yeah, it was. He was doing the most, and I went into it and obviously Fiona's like, oh, who is that? And I'm like, oh. Sister, you're gonna love him. Yeah. Her strap in and then she was like, okay. Like respectfully. Mm-hmm. And I was like, no, he's not, he's not doing his best work right now. He's not cooking. Yeah. Bob, it's so funny'cause even Bob has a standup special now where, in his special, he says like, I thought I was gonna crush. I thought I was gonna get in there and become a traitor and just like pack, pack. I'm sending all you bitches home. But the thing about the traitors is you actually need a level of flying below the radar. If you are talking too much. If you are choosing or pointing at people too much, people just think it's you. Yeah. So you need to not be too quiet, because then that's suspicious. Yeah. Yeah, but you can't be too loud either. So someone like Bob who has a big personality, it's over. Yeah. Dylan Efron, he does it for me now. Yeah. Let him hit me with a bus. He is a CBB angel. And also he was the one that was suss Bob first. And everybody's like, no, no, no. And he's like, I'm just not gonna say it out loud anymore. And his hands are literally shaking. Did you see that part? He's so cute when he's like, I grew up with an actor, and Bob goes, not a good one. Someone at the beginning was like, oh, who are you? Literally goes, who are you? And he was like, oh, I do social media or something like that. Yeah. And then he said his name and he was like. He was like, you're brothers and oh, you're oh, Zach's brother. Like, ugh, that's so upsetting. But now he's not. No, I know. I know. Now he's like, Dylan motherfucking Aron. No, you can tell, he like tries. He is tried to do everything, but do you know what I mean? Mm-hmm. Like, he's like, I've done this, I've done that, triathlon, this, that. Like, he's, he just wants to be the best at something else. And he just, I love him. Yeah. I love him. He's perfect. Yeah. I think he'll do well. I don't know who wins. I, I don't, I think I saw it, but like, I don't know if it's right or not, but I fucking hate Danielle. Oh, the cry? Or is she the crier? No, that's the one that goes home. Like first couple Danielle's, the trader. The traitor. Yeah. The trader one. She like her. She shakes when people get sent home. Like she's just like this. Yeah. She's like so obvious. Dri she drives me and Boston. Robs can, like, she can fucking not like she's so obvious. Gabby, Wendy, I love her. Me and the Bammies. She calls her and the other girlies. The bandies. Yeah, because we're just doe-eyed. Girlies. I love when they're talking to her and they were like, oh, you're on the ba, you were the Bachelorette. And she's like, yeah, now I'm a lesbian. You're like, how did that go for you? First the way she talks, she's like, oh, oh, I'm lesbian. Yeah. She's so naturally funny. Like her ca like everything about it, her tone, her inflection, she's very, very funny. I'm so glad you're on The Trader's Train. Britney Spear's, his ex-husband not spoken once. And why is he on there for being Britney Spear's ex-husband? So there's one episode where he kind of like figures out a way to figure out who is a traitor and who isn't. And it's actually fucking brilliant. Really. And at 1.1 of them says like, he's so smart. Like he's playing chess when we're all playing checkers. That's crazy. But I agree with you. They do not give him a lot of airtime, like I'll tell you on this season, which is so fucking good. I love it. Love it, love it. Steven Colletti has not spoken one word, like Laguna Beach. Steven Collet. Oh, right, right, right. Like there's just a few of them. They just do Mark Ballas. You haven't seen him. Interesting. He just like, you gotta get people to at least speak. Yeah. Kristen, like top chef. Yeah. There's just a few of them that have not been given the opportunity, but at the beginning the cast is literally too big. There's like 20 of them. That's true. So as it gets down, that makes me, I, and he wasn't, at first, he was like an boss Rob at it. No. Wes, Wes I, when they unveiled him, I was like this on the couch. I was like, who is that? I'm you, I'm the biggest fucking asshole on the planet. And he's going to win this game probably. Yeah. Him and Johnny Bananas have that, like mm-hmm. We will cut anyone down to make it type of thing. Yeah. Going for them. Love. Oh, okay. Well you'll have to keep us posted. I'll, it's such a good show. Don't you worry. I will. Alan Cumming. Come on. Oh my God. The outfits his fit. I was, were you just to say his fits, his fits the way he says traitors with the R roll, his energy, his little commentary, and they're all just like this, this Scottish act, the like. It's so playful but stupid. I love when he walks in the next day and throws their frame on the floor. Yes. It's like one of my favorite things that he does, and they're all just eating breakfast. Like, here's my scone, but I'm just watching you tell us smash, how we're going to die. Bit murdered today. That's what I mean. It's like, fine. I would die to live there being silly, but also like the castle in the Spookiness. I cannot wait till you see Tom Sandoval sing in the Dollhouse. So far he has done nothing but walk around the house like this. I suspiciously cannot wait for you to watch him sing backwards when you get to the Dollhouse. Just let me know. Okay. I will. Trust me, I will. Of course Sydnee Sweeney came out with a linger line because of course she did. I didn't even see that, to be honest. That's all I see. That's all I see. I think she's just like blocked from my For you pages in general. Yeah, I do like the name of it. I will say, what is it? Siren, but it's spelled SYRN. That's kind of cute. For a lingerie line siren. Like kinda cute, but yeah, just get her outta here. Why is she everywhere? She's everywhere. I ate an entire thing of sea moss that got recalled for botulism like dress people at the, what the fuck is botulism? I don't, I think it's like a violent, I don't know, something or other. One second. A rare but serious and potentially fatal illness that causes muscle paralysis resulting from a nerve toxin. What the actual fuck, Colleen? I bought it probably, I don't know, I don't wanna say a year ago, but maybe a year ago. And I've just been, I take a spoonful a day and it's been gone for months. And then all of a sudden, like a week ago, I got a bunch of alerts on my phone being like, recall and it's on my Amazon app.'cause I ordered it off Amazon and it's like, do throw it away if you have it. It's been recalled for botulism. Dude, this toxin attacks the body's nerves preventing muscles from contracting, which leads to lys. I think I'm fine, Colleen. Why? God, why? It's just like, what was this? What were you eating? Sea Moss gel. Okay, well maybe we give the sea moss gel a fucking break. Jesus Christ. Yeah. I don't really know what it did for me, but it made me feel better. Great. Like my mental I dunno capacity. Anyways, I listened to the Toast because obviously, and I told you guys, I've, I've known that the girl on the Toast, I mean the girl on mass Singer, the queen Corgi has Ben Claudia Ry of course, like it's just so fucking obvious the moment she came out and sang drum on my Parade. The moment. Did you know that she, she, I listened to it on the pod today?'cause they did the recap'cause it aired last night. She said. I specifically asked for the Lee version. As you should. No, no. I was like this as you fucking, my jaws on the floor should, and she was losing it because, and I had to text, I was gonna text you, but then I was like, oh, I'm gonna see you for the pod. So I'll just tell you here. But she, there's one on there that hasn't been revealed yet. It's a guy and they can't figure out who it is. Some people say it might be Colton Underwood. Some people say it might be cord Overstreet. And the big rumors that it was Matthew Morrison shut and she goes, shut the fuck up. And they did like, they paired, like they did like the sing off or whatever. I, I don't watch Mask Singer, so I don't really know what that is. And she was like, I am just like, I can't sleep at night knowing I might have shared stage with Matthew Morrison and not known. I was sickening as that. She was like, I just wish that was real for the, just for the Lord. I'm like, no. Literally, that's just, I wonder when do we find out? Like what, when he had sent home eventually, or he lives, yeah, so she opted out. Oh, she had just had a baby. The timing was like off. And she was like, literally two months. She's like, I moved him out to la like we moved to LA for like three weeks to film and I had the baby. Oh, that's crazy. And she was like, I literally just like couldn't do it anymore. Yeah. That postpartum. But she was like, I did, it came, yeah. She was like, yeah, I came, saw Concord, I opted out. Yeah, that's totally fair. So, but it was like, fine. They like, with recorded it and it was like not weird at all. It's been 20 years since high school musical and that like physically hurt me a little bit. 20? Yeah, they did the 20th anniversary and Monique Coleman was popping her pussy with Blades. The Bear at the Bruins game the other night. Did you see that? No. They're, they danced. We're all Denise together once we know. Yeah. 20 years. Wow. That's crazy. Like what is the, what is the Bruins marketing team doing if they're getting Monique Coleman to come to the game? I don't know, but their TikTok is so funny. I know. Whoever's running their social media deserves a raise. I would agree. They had actually, I followed the girl that used to do their TikTok and they have a new person now, so I don't know who it is, but I am obsessed with her. She was doing, she got like the best behind the scenes, like funny things of the Bruins, like Yes, yes. I saw that. She doesn't, she all the trend she left like less than a year ago. Oh, that's too bad. Made a post about it. The America's Next Top Model. Excuse me. Oh, you guys, there is a documentary coming out about America's Next Top model. All of the judges are on it, including Tyra? Yes. Jay, It's all of them. Except for Janice. Yeah. For judges. And it's a lot of the girls who were like on it and won. And it's so crazy. Like I obviously have not watched that show in, what, 25 years. The moment they popped up on screen, I was like, oh my God. I remember sitting there. Yeah. I remember watching you like get your hair bleached and I remember you watching and your ethnicity changed. Oh my fucking God. We have to do that has to be a whole episode where we deep dive that documentary. Mm-hmm. Because we've talked about it so many times and I feel like a lot of us have been waiting for the moment. Where we all get to explain the toxicity of this insane show and it's coming. It was like you just had to be there kind of thing. Yeah. It's like the lore. And I was gonna, like when I did Biggest Loser like that also popped up, I was gonna do like controversial TV shows in general, but there was just so much that it was like not to be done in two in one, you know? Right. Totally. But yeah, I think that's really all I had. That was like all my manic thoughts that I've been writing down. Oh my God. Nina Dore slaying lately without Sean White. Have you noticed that? She's been popping the fuck off living her best life. Love her. She's so hot. Best club you can get breaking up with a toxic person. That's fair. No, look, she's like bopping her. Bussy all around with Miles Teller and Kaylee Teller. Yeah. Love that. Kaylee. Tell miles Teller bought Kaylee. You know, their house burned down, the wedding dress, the wedding, I, I wept. So Miles Teller, the actor is married to this girl, Kay. Kaylee Teller, and he is obsessed with her. Like in every interview they ask him a question. He's like, my wife, my wife, my wife. Every single time he's like, I wanna wake up and see her face, spend all day with her and go to bed. And I want her to be the last thing I see. I'm obsessed with her. Yeah. She's my best friend. I will, I wanna be with her every minute, every single second of every single day. He is so in love with her. They, they lost their house in the LA fires last year, and she lost her wedding dress. And, you know, a lot of rich people lost their houses, but a lost a lot of normal people lost their houses too. A lot of people lost their lives. Like a lot was lost. It was horrific. And the thing that I appreciate online, even if you're rich and you can rebuy it, like you still lost things that can't be replaced, it doesn't matter. And the best, I was just gonna say, like, he, he lost, like he was talking about a mug that meant a lot to him. Right? He's not talking about. Of course you lost your home, but to your point, he's, he can go buy a new one. He lost like the sentimental things you cannot get back and retrieve. Mm-hmm. He got her dress re fucking made, so she has her wedding dress and bought it for her for Christmas or her birthday, I think it was Christmas. And she, he has a video of her opening it. I cried. Yeah. It's so beautiful. It's so and so touching and thoughtful. And you can just tell when she's opening it that she knows what it is and she's, when she realizes, she's like, no, you didn't like you, didn't he? Did I die? That's our king from Footloose. Damn straight. Love him. Let's hear it for the boys. Let's give the boy hand. The boy give the boy. Hey. Yeah, that's all I have. I do have a couple other things that I watched that we can talk about, but I was gonna wait for you to tell me all about your life.'cause I've been talking nonsense for approximately 30 minutes. Okay, let's do it. I went to see the Sound of Music with my sister and my mom and my aunt Sue. Yes. Um, It was so fucking good. Really? It was so good. The kids were incredible. I was like, that child is four and is singing like, just belongs on the stage. How do you know at that age? I dunno, like how do your parents know? Like, this is a Broadway superstar? I don't know. I saw a thing the other day on, whenever I say I saw a thing the other day. It's always TikTok, usually. No, we know. Okay, cool. We know you don't read. I read the the news. I watch the news. I don't read it. Yeah. Okay. Same. Tate McCray was in an interview and she was like, yeah, my mom like, would stretch out my hips when I was like young until I was like two to open my hips up. And I was looking at the comments and everybody was like, yeah, so don't do that. Like, someone was like, I'm like a, not a pediatrician, like whatever that works with bones and shit. And she was like, that's actually so horrible. Like, I'm like, sick to hear that. Why the fuck? She's like, yeah. So now my hips are just permanently open, like, weird flex. First of all, second of all is your mother. Okay, why would we do that? And like the, the news, the person that was interviewing her was like, oh, okay. Like that's fucking weird. That's crazy. Yeah. I mean, it all worked out for her, but, and she's an incredible dancer and she's so talented. It's ridiculous. However's weird. And she was like, ha ha. Yeah. I was like, that's so fucking weird. Okay. LOL. Anyway, sorry. Um, Sound music was beautiful and gorgeous and I had the best time. And Erin and I like giggled and smiled and cried the whole way through. The only thing I didn't like was Edelweiss to me. Right. Edelweiss is like the song and N used to sing it to us all the time. Edelweiss belongs at a certain part of the show for me, which is when like she comes back and like the dad starts singing with the kids again. It's like halfway through the movie. Mm-hmm. They save it for the end in the musical. That's weird. And if you know the story of the sound of music, Nazis are in it and they have to perform at like a Nazi, I don't wanna say recital, but it's this like massive event, this like talent show of sorts. And they're, and they're all against it and they're escaping and it's this whole thing. They just rolled out Nazi flags. Aaron and I went, now it's part of the show. We knew it was coming. Yeah. But did just see three massive banners with s swat stickers on it. We legitimately like gasped, jarring. It just was, that's what it, it was jarring and like it's part of the show. If you watch the movie, you know what the storyline is. The woman in front of us, this little old lady I will cry, is from Austria, shut the fuck up, is Jewish and was with her three daughters and she cried. I I could cry right now to sit behind them and like, of course we like yed it up. Yeah. We were yapping away and like, you know, getting wine and, and chatting with them and we were talking about like the best time and you know, they were like, we grew up going there in the summertime and they were telling us like the best time of year to go and stuff, but to like watch their mom. Who was from there like it just was crazy. It was crazy, but it was so good. I loved it. 10 outta 10. If it comes back to Boston, you guys should go watch it. Project Hail Mary. I read it. It's a book and it's a movie coming out soon with Ryan Gosling and I've never read it. I loved it. What was it about? I thought it was great. It's sci-fi. I don't know if it's for you. Okay. It's a very, very popular book. I mean, they're making it into a movie, right. So I'm late to the party. I loved it. It's basically the world is ending and they are sending three astronauts, sort of scientists really to space to save humanity. Like a Hail Mary project. Hail Mary. Got it. And it's about this man's experience in space. And while it's happening, there are flashbacks.'cause he wakes up and he has amnesia. So he doesn't know his name. He doesn't know why he's there. He doesn't know what he does for a living. Like he knows nothing but he's having thoughts. So it starts like essentially when he wakes up. And so as time goes on, the amnesia starts to wear off. So he's experiencing things in real time and then there are flashbacks of him remembering things as you go and there are twists and turns and rocky. It's really good and I'm very excited for the movie and I'm very excited for Ryan Gosling. Okay. I'm on board The rip. The rip. I will say, I had to ask chat and call Mans because I was like, I'm not understanding why they're looking for money. I'm not getting it. I was not, I was not understanding I would be a terrible drug Lord. Like I, I am like, I don't know what's going on. Okay. So what did you learn for the people who don't know what their is, I learned that there's a correlation with big money and illegal activity. Correct? That's, that's correct. And that's that spoiler alert. So if you have not watched the rip, skip ahead. I was real worried about Matt, my, my boy, Matt. I was like, have we turned dark? Yeah. For a minute. And do you and Ben hate each other? The back, the scene in the truck. I was like this. Okay. Can I tell you? When he calls him and his phone starts to ring, what I thought was so cool about the scene, and this was just me being a movie nerd for a second, how dark it is in the way they lit it. Where it's like lighting up their faces almost. Yeah. One at a time. I don't know who fucking lit that scene. It is perfect. Yeah, it's perfect. It hits perfectly, but the end, Tiana Taylor, come on. And the girls are driving away in the truck. Mm-hmm. So good. So, so, so good. I still wanted them to steal some. Yeah, of course. So like, they showed up. They do How much? All of it. Well, they, they memorized the amount. Yeah. And that's some of it. But they steal like millions on millions, on millions on millions. Oh, I thought they only tell them it's like a couple hundred thousand. It's millions. Oh, I thought when they gave the number it was like 21,000,580 or something like that. No, they made bank. Oh, okay. I don't, I missed that part. So that's good. That's really, really good. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Okay, cool. Loved the rip. I don't know if I'll watch it again, but I'm like, glad I watched it and I love Matt and Ben and I'll watch them in anything. Ben was so hot in that movie, so hot. Like I was so upset. Such a dick. Such a dick, so hot. But I kind of like it when they're like an asshole. Of course. If Fiona were talking about this and it's just like, there's something so good about a grumpy, cranky asshole, but like, is that it is like different with you. So I call it marshmallows and it's when you are toasty on the outside and you're actually soft and gooey on the inside. I grew up around these men. Like a lot of my uncles are like this. Yes. And I say mine because our uncles on my dad's side are not like this. They're just marsh. They're just the inside. Yes. They just be marshmallows. I have other uncles who are very like tough and cranky and are actually just like really kind and sweet. Yeah. And just, I love that sense of humor too. I like the dry straightforward and I love when you get those guys to laugh and you're like, I'm in. Yes. Yes. I did it. Those are my favorite. Yeah. Loved it. It was great. I had a great, so the new job, it's been going really well. I had an awesome weekend. Paul and I went to Marinos on Friday night in the Seaport. It was, if you've never been, it is Mediterranean tapas. It was so fucking good. Go back in the summer of the patio is wicked ass. I know. I have to make reservations. The vibes in there absolutely immaculate. Our cocktails were so good. The food is divine. I will dream of that prime rib for a very long time. Tappas, we love Tappas here. I love a tappas. Then on Saturday night, me and my girlfriends, my call friends went to the Painted Burrow. Mm-hmm. Get me every margarita in every bia taco in sight. And then we went to the Buron. Oh, I did see your location there. Oh, did you Now I did. You were tracking me. Of course I was. I missed the painted burrow. I didn't see that. But I did catch the, the burn. That's where we ended up, of course, right across the street. And then on Sunday, may I ask something? Yeah, of course. How was your experience at the burn? It was fine. Like we went in, it was packed. There were a bunch of 12 year olds there. Mm-hmm. We tried to go into the back room. It was like so disgustingly packed.'cause at that point, I think it was like 10, 10 30 at night. Live band had been on for a while. But I love the vibe in the, I love that front room with me too, like the fiddle and the Irish music playing. For me, the burn isn't worth it if you go after a certain time. This was also the night it was eight degrees out, so like, my friends wanted to go to smoke a cigarette and I was like, I'll see y'all inside. I, there's just not a chance in France. I'm standing out here. Yeah. There was one point after Marino's, We had reservations at the end of the pier on the other side. Huh? So we're walking down the street and it is so fucking cold and it's the, we're down to seaport, the wind is insane. And we went and got drinks. And then after drinks, we were waiting for our Ubers and mine was three minutes away. So I was like, oh, I'll go wait outside. I had to hide in a garage and I got so cold. At one point I started to get worried, like I started to get nervous. Like I couldn't feel my hands. Oh my God. And I, I really thought, like, and of course I didn't realize I'd be standing outside in the wind by the water. I thought I would go from an Uber to a restaurant, restaurant to an Uber. He got stuck somewhere and I called him like almost in tears, like, I'm, where are you? And he pulled up right at that moment and I jumped in, but I was like, I don't think I've been that cold. Do you know what I mean? When it starts to like, Ooh, it's really fucking cold to like, oh, I need to seek shelter. Yeah, it hurts. Yeah, it hurt. Yeah. I'm, I'm like starting to lose feeling in places. Yeah. So that was not ideal. The burn. So fucking hot. Yep. Because of course you're going to from nine degrees to sweaty people, 98 in a hot minute. And then Sunday you were supposed to take my ticket. Tell me everything I didn't ask because I knew you, you'd explain. So I got tickets to Dancing With the Stars Live. I do not watch the show. I have never seen an episode. The only episode I think I've ever watched was you here. I've seen like, actually that's not true. I think I've seen like two or three episodes and every time it's been with you. Yes. Yeah. It's like a night we recording and it's like a finale and you're like, I have to watch it. I got tickets and I tried to give mine to Colleen and Aaron was gonna go too and I just was like, oh my God, you guys love the show so much, you should go watch it. So loyal of you. But that's not the point. The point was it's the day of the snowstorm, it was Sunday. And if you are from New England, you know, we got a crazy snowstorm. The show got moved from 7:00 PM to 1:00 PM and Colleen had a shower. I did a baby shower. Yeah, it was a baby shower. It was in Plymouth too, so it was like really far. But so I was like, alright, I guess I'm gonna go. I mean, it will be fun. Like who, who cares, right? Yeah. Like I just,'cause I don't watch the show doesn't mean I can't go and enjoy myself. So I invite Leanne. I'm like, Leanne, do you happen to be free on Sunday? We had the best time. I'm good. I'm glad I ended up driving, which was the right move. Aaron was like, I don't think you're gonna be able to find an Uber. That was the correct move. Park at a garage, walk over. Horrible idea, but no other way to get there. It was already coming down sideways. I was like, we have made a mistake. We go in there packed. You would never have known. I mean, there were definitely seats open for people who were like, I'm not driving in this fucking weather. Yeah, it was Pasha and Daniella. Val and don't tell me Jenna. Mm-hmm. Emma and Alan. Mm-hmm. Ezra and Brit. Yep. Brandon and Hailey. Yes. And the host was Danielle Fisher, like whole Asanga was there. Oh yeah. I knew she was a special guest. And so I didn't know. Oh yeah. So they were like introducing and Leanne was like, tap stop. She was like, I may have, outside of my family, I think this is the woman I've loved most my whole life. I was like, no, that's totally fair. That's crazy. That's totally fair. In a good way. Not a bad way. Way. Yeah. Like how funny. And so it was delightful, the vibes in there because I mean, it's so high energy anyway. It's such like a positive. They made so many jokes. Like Emma talked about Andy, you know what I mean? Daniella, she's not a real person. It's so upsetting. There was a, I mean, one of my favorite parts was right after like the main number where they all come out and they all bow and Val and Daniella get like the big Jenna. And Pasha get like the biggest applause, right. They did raise, where the hell is my husband Love? And it's just Jenna and Val and Danielle and Pasha Love, which is like such a good intro to the show and everyone loses it. Right? And then they all end up dancing with each other in their slow songs and their fast songs and every type of dance humanly imaginable. There was a song with Daniella and Alan that I had my hand on Leanne's arm with my jaw wide open, leaning forward. Like I could not stop watching her to the point when they're all in a group and she's in the back left. I was watching her like, she's just such a magnet. She is unfucking real. She confused me. She command, she commands the, she confused me. She commands the stage for sure. I said, I, I thought I was interested in men. She has me thinking otherwise I, I'm confused. Did you know that Emma and Alan are together? Yes. Okay. And, and so they had a dance together that was very sweet. They hard launched on their last tour because they kissed in the middle of a, of a song. Oh, I think I saw that of a dance. Everyone was like, and Hailey, I can imagine Hailey is Jenna's niece. Yes. She's fucking incredible. Yeah. Like they do such a good job of highlighting her and I'm assuming she's gonna be a pro at some point, which is why she's getting all the, she gives me like more like fiercer more I dunno what the word would be in comparison to ri She's so graceful though. But she is in fucking insane, insane. Jenna Johnson. I leaned over to Leanne and I was like, that person has had a child. These, these people that you're looking at, she didn't used to look like that. Did you know that moms who? Jenna even not even talking about like before the, like with the kid or whatever, but she didn't used to look like that. She just randomly got jacked. Oh, really? Yeah. No, she was never bigger or anything, but she did not look like that. She is jacked. Yeah. There is not a thing on her body that isn't toit. Yeah. Also her child is Val's face. I know. It's so, obviously I follow them now on Instagram. It's crazy. Val is so hot. I thought it was, I mean, I love Ezra. I would die for Ezra. He's just like, I just wanna snuggle him. I love Alan. I mean, Pasha and Val are so Brandon, like, they're so talented. Mm-hmm. So it didn't really matter like which pairing you got because they all paired with each other. It was so good. I'm so glad we had the best time. And then we come out and it is a whole ass snowstorm. Mm-hmm. Plot twist. But then we drove through the city and everyone was outside sledding. In like right in front of the state house. I love that. Like the city was completely dead and it was just us out. And then you could just see people sledding and I was like, this is so cool. Yeah. I love people who don't take the storms. Not, don't take seriously. No, it doesn't matter. But it's fucking snow. It's snow. We live in Boston. What the fuck do you think is gonna happen? Yeah. People who embrace the storm I love. And then I got home before it got like, I mean we, when we came out it was pretty bad. Like the, the roads were not doing great. You have a good car for ice. Right. And I have like a, I can turn my car to a snow gear. Yeah. So I was fine and we just drove, you know, 30 miles an hour on the highway because that's what everybody else was doing. And we both got home safely. And then I was home in time to watch the Patriots win. I was like, this is fucking ideal. I had the best weekend.

It's up to question of like what you think. I can't stand you already. So I texted your sister. Yes.'cause I didn't know how this would land with you. Okay. And she was like, tell her if she says anything, I approve. And we both thought, gave our thoughts and our thoughts were the exact same. So just now of course they were. Yeah. And we were like, oh my God, same Brian. So it's like, like, it's fine. We're both masochists. I get it. But like you'll be fine. But I just need to preset that for you. Okay. Thank you. Cool. And just now don't get mad at me. Your sister approved because like the world is a shit storm. No, I'm aware, but like it's me. It's fine. Okay. Yeah, it was in July in 2009. 2009, yeah. Tough year for me. Yeah. And it's, you know, we'll get into that one. Is it a car accident? It doesn't involve a car. Oh, Jesus Fucking great. So that's why I texted Erin.'cause I'm like, I, I know you'll know what I'm talking about. Erin. Like the case I'm talking about. And she's like, no, I do. And I said, well that hit a nerve. And she was like, no, you'll be fine. Okay, cool. I'm ready. I'm prepared. Okay, cool. We're gonna talk about Diane Schuler. Do you know what I'm talking about or not? No, you don't. I don't think so. Documentary on HBO o about it. Okay. It's another one of those things that I knew about before and was like almost hyper fixated in, and then I just like, dunno why I've just never talked about it. Okay. Similar to the Ling ring. So Diane Schuler, she was born on October 13th in 1972 in Queens, New York. She had two sisters, Suzanne Patricia, kind of relevant, honestly. Just had to include that for, for background purposes. Sure. She had a good family dynamic. It's fabulous. Described as close knit in childhood all the way through adolescence. Her father did die from a heart attack when she was 10, and that affected her family deeply. So Diane and her two sisters took out a lot more responsibilities than they normally would at a young age. And I do believe she was the oldest too. Mm-hmm. Oldest daughter. Yep. That all, they take that a lot for a reason. Yep. That'll do it. Diane went to West Babylon High School on Long Island, so she's like born bred, long Island girly. And she graduated before she, she graduated and then went on to get an early childhood education, elementary education degree. From obviously with being with her sisters growing up. Kids were a passion of her. She knew that's what something she wanted to do lifelong and pursue it. Oh yeah. She loved those grubby little kitties. She loved them teaching or like nannying or what? Just wants to be a mom. Both. All of the above. All of the above. Okay. So she did preschool and elementary school. Oh, and she also is spoil a mother. So wants to just be around the babes. Yes. The be she's, she was born for it. She's one of those people like, you know, people are annoying and they were like born to be a mother and a natural nurturer. She's like one of those, but not annoying about it. Yes, yes. Yeah. But you know, when people like are annoying about people being like that. She's one of those people that they're explaining. Anyways, Diane loved children. She was momming. Okay, understood. She married this guy Daniel, in the late 1990s, and they lived in West Babylon, New York, on Long Island. She literally never left. It's a nice community. They raised their family together. They had two kids, Taylor and Quinn. Taylor was the daughter, Quinn was the son. Mm-hmm. Diane's life portrayed by all of everyone around her in the community, people she worked with, her friends, her family. They were like, she's an ideal mother. She's a caretaker. She was, again, like I said earlier, born to do this thing. She was a devoted parent. She loved all doing all activities. She was always involved in children's schooling extracurriculars. She had nieces. They loved to do like outdoor camping. You know how we feel about camping? No. We we weren't built for that. No, they did. That's camping and Outdoor Family Act. They go like camping trips. Okay. Canoeing. But, but like, that does sound really wholesome. It does. And there was a part of me growing up that kind of wanted that. Yeah, that's fair. I'm trying to paint a picture of like who they were. This is who they were. I mean, not like, but like they liked to go outdoors and family. Yeah. They were going towards on purpose and doing camping and can, and they liked to be around each other and sing around Kumbaya, around the campfire. I, I love it. I kinda love it. I don't wanna shit in a hole. I don't, no. I would like to be, I don't wanna sleep on the ground. I want some running water. I would running motherfucking water. If I can't make a hot dog, I don't want it. Yeah, I would agree. Hot dogs are, I want my chips, I want my dip. I want my charco and I wanna sleep on a bed. We can bring cots and coolers and ice. I will never forget. Shout out to our cousin, Sean. One time we went to Sacco. We were the correct age for going to Sacco. Got it. Understood. It was pouring rain out. I brought a sleeping bag. Sean brought literally everything else. Okay. Pitches the tent in the pouring rain on the beach at Sacco River and disgusting. I am in the tent shivering. He gave me his whole ass caught and slept on the ground king. And I was just, and like it wasn't even up for debate. He was like, you are sleeping on this. And it propped up. So when the bottom of the tent got wet, it never touched me. He slept on wet, he slept on the wet, and he did it so that I would be more comfortable. King, my cousin, my boy cousin was like, no, that's not how this works. Thank you. No, thank you so much for listening so much. Which you're not, but your wife might be. Yeah, a hundred percent. So's disgusting. It's so disgusting. At a certain age, yes. But before that age, it's perfect. Yeah. It's so fun. It's like spring break. It's like so much fun if you are the right age and in that mode, but thinking of going back to it, you're like, oh God, no heaven's. Now I wouldn't go to Panama City Beach Florida to twice, no. Two years in a row. No, no, no, no. I've actually never been there. But I understand the around it. You get it. I get it. I understand the vibe. It's K Coon. It's like, no, it's that destination. Yeah. No. Anyway, continue. They like to be outdoors. Yes. They love hanging out. They're a cute, corny family. Okay. Yeah. We're canoeing and we're kumbaya. It's July 26th, 2009 at nine 30 in the morning. Diane leaves the Hunter Lake Campground in Parksville, New York in the Catskills, and that's where their family kept the trailer. That's where they were frequent flyers. They went all the time. Okay. She was driving a red 2003 Ford Wind star, like the mom and van. Mm-hmm. Like, you know the minivan. Mm-hmm. She actually bought it from her brother Warren, who was also on the camping trip. So the whole gang is there. Oh, and she leaves. So in the minivan with her, she does have a few folks. Okay. In has, she has both of her children. Her son right now is five, her daughter's two, and then her brother's, three daughters who are eight, seven, and five. So five kids and her, yeah. So she's got a gaggle of kids in this. Are they, where are they going? They're going home. It is Sunday. They're leaving. Okay. Sunday morning. They've been there all weekend. They've had a sleigh, camping trip. We're good. Okay, cool. Her husband stays at the campground with the truck because he's preparing, taking the boat outta the water pack up and doing, doing the manly things. Yes. And has the dog with them too. Yeah. So he is like, I got the dog and I got the boat all. Well, right. You get home. So on the way home Diane stops at McDonald's as you should sister, as Happy Meals on motherfucking deck. Yes. She goes to McDonald's, she goes to Sunoco and she gets gas surveillance video from both of those locations shows her coming and going and inside the station's convenience store, like right on film at totally fucking normal. Totally normal. Okay. She spoke to the clerk while she,'cause she asked for over the counter pain relief medication and the gas station didn't sell the one that she wanted. So she left a little after 9:00 AM She crosses the tap and z heading east. They have her on film doing that. And several witnesses after this incident that we'll get into reported seeing a red mini van driving aggressively on Route 17, interstate 86 and interstate 87. So for a while, a while she's tailgating, flashing, headlights, honking the horn, moving in and out of lanes and straddling two lanes. So basically how I drive to work every morning is how does, right, but you don't drive like that with all the pile gaggle of children in your car. Correct. Hold that thought, keep that in mind. Okay. She would never drive like that. She's not irresponsible. She's eldest daughter. Yeah. Mother works with chil, like she just wouldn't drive like that. Correct. So just keep that in mind. Okay. I'm glad you came up on that because once I like go through the rest, you're gonna be like, oh yeah, but no, keep that in mind. Okay. Because that's my thoughts. And Aaron's too. At 11:37 AM Diane called her brother from the minivan and to tell him we, oh, we're delayed by traffic. Very strange. And according to a report, Diane was seen by witnesses at 11:45 AM by the side of the road with her hands on the, on her knees, as if she was like throwing up, like making that motion. And then she was seen again in the same position at a different rest. Stop by another witness. Okay. Pause. Yes. Was there actually traffic? Do you know? I don't, no, I don't believe so. So she, and it was her who called and says we're being called up? Yes, she called. So it is her. So she's lying about traffic. Yeah. She's clearly ill. Well, I, I'm not a hundred percent on the traffic. Like I don't, I don't know at this moment in time, whatever interstate they were on when she called. I don't dunno, the state of the traffic or she could also be lying about traffic because she's ill and doesn't wanna say like, I'm violently ill. So she's like, oh yeah, we're being held up. I don't know. Yeah. Or there could have been, there could have been traffic. I don't know. Yeah. Okay. You know what I mean? Okay. It doesn't, there's no clarification there. All right. Sorry. Digging into the wrong no piece. I like No, this is what I wanted you to do. Okay. Done mind. Okay. A lot of people see it as black and white, that's why. At about 1:00 PM another call was made from the brother to Diane's phone. And during this call, one of her nieces reportedly told her father on the phone that Diane was having trouble seeing and speaking clearly on the call. What one of the, one of the nieces literally told her dad, there's something wrong with Aunt Diane. Oh, no. And then Diane herself. I talked to him and said, I'm disoriented. I can't see clearly. And he reported to have said like, just stay on the side of the road. I'll come meet you. Don't worry about it. Just like, stay safe. And he called back a couple times just to check in on his drive to meet, and she never answered, okay? And at this point, her cell phone was left along the highway and it was found later on by near the toll booth by like a toll booth worker. Okay? So now it's one 30. Diane enters the to Taconic State Parkway via northbound, doesn't matter. And she mistakenly goes southbound in the northbound lanes. Basic. Basically, she's going on the wrong side of the fucking road. Oh my God. And so a bunch of motorists call 9 1 1 and they're like, Hey, this person's going the wrong fucking way. Oh, something is confidently is really wrong with this woman for almost two miles. Oh my God. She drives completely straight. Not, not a swerve for at 85 miles an hour for over two miles. Oh my God. Think about how long it takes you to drive two. Oh my God. Yeah, so everyone's swerving to get away from her. People are calling 9 1 1, like a crazy person. And then finally, unfortunately, she does collide with a Chevy Trailblazer at approximately, I think like 80 miles an hour. Oh. The collision was obviously terrible and it was instant. And her, her daughter and all three of her nieces die and all the people in the vehicle across from her also passed away. Her son did survive. There was only one person who survived in that. Her son, her who I think was five at the time. Oh. Or I think five. Yeah. So there was three people in the trailblazer. This guy Michael, his son, guy and their other friend Daniel. They all passed away on Impact and Brian was her son's name, I apologize. He was five at the time and he had just serious injuries and he was the only survivor of that. So terrible. Absolutely terrible. Sorry, I just had to get through that. Awful. But it's more or less like the question mark of like, what the fuck happened? Because it doesn't make any sense. So right off the bat they're like do all the tests, like figure the fuck out. What, what happened with this?'Cause how does, like you said, someone who's well she's driven for well enough amount of years that she knows what, where the fuck she's going. She goes to this place all the time. She takes this highway, all of these interstates regularly. Question mark. Makes no fucking sense. So they do an autopsy and they, it reveals that she has a blood alcohol concentration of 0.19 shitfaced essentially, however we'll get into that. And there was also levels of THC question mark doesn't make any sense. And they also found a broken bottle of vodka in the car. But it, like, you can't, it could have just smashed when it was she was driving. Do you know what I mean? So there's no proof of whether or not she drank it and. The results obviously shake everybody that's ever known her, including her husband, he's like, there's absolutely no fucking way. She was drunk. There's absolutely none. And he says, no, just no. And so there was a press conference on August 8th and Daniel and his attorney,'cause he got an attorney real fucking quick, Dominic Barbara, they deny the claim and they say, given that there was several children with them and Diane has never taken any legal drugs and she wasn't even drinking on the campground that entire weekend when Larry King and Oprah Winfrey, because that's how far this goes. Asked Daniel about the vodka bottle discovered in the minivan. He claims that the couple always kept an old bottle in their camper and that Diane had done all the cleaning in the packing for the camping trip and must have put the bottle in the van with the rest of the stuff, which is totally plausible. Mm-hmm. Danielle eventually admitted that he and his wife had consumed alcohol during the camping trip with their in-laws, but not, I don't think it was really, no, not the morning of, and not the, not even the night before, I don't think. Also I can't, I, I'm not a positive on that, but I'm like pretty sure. He denied that Diane had anything to drink on the day preceding the crash. So obviously, like she would literally never fucking do that. She had five children in her car, two of which are hers. The other are her nieces. And the campground owner, owner who had known them very well, they come here all the time. They're regulars year after year after year. Knows the whole family, both sides of the family. He or she doesn't say, saw them around 9:00 AM and said that Diane was totally fine. She was completely sober. The gas station clerk that Diane asked for pain medication from around 11:00 AM also said, I knew for a fact she wasn't drunk when she came to the station. It was clear as day. She was fine. We had, so what happened in two hours? And she was absolutely driving the car. Oh yeah. She, there was no one, yeah, she was driving. A hundred percent. I think she was in the seat. Like they, like she was, there's Yeah. Well, of course they went to the scene. Yeah. Yeah. And they hired this guy Tom, he's a private investigator. It was one of his lawyers person. They hire him. And he said that none of the McDonald's employees had seen anything in Diane's behavior to suggest that she was even remotely intoxicated. And she was actually observed carrying on an overly like, extended conversation while ordering her food and her orange juice. Like there was no nothing. So obviously all this shock to her husband and everyone that knew her, and many of them described her as, you know, devoted and responsible, who had simply never put any of her children in danger, obviously. Of course, of course. The PI that they hired also told reporters in early September of that year that he had interviewed Diane's relatives, none of whom had ever seen her intoxicated by alcohol in that one time. So it's not even like a thing she did every week. Not that that would matter. It doesn't matter. Yeah, if you. Drank every single weekend if you weren't Yeah. Oh, wow. That's fucking awful. Daniel did say that, of course she doesn't do drugs, but she does have over the, not over the counter, what's the word before it was legal. Prescription. Yeah. She had prescription that for sleeping. So maybe she took something the night before. That's why it was in her system. But there was no like, it's not like she was like getting high. No. That level of alcohol 0.19. So 0.08 is over the legal limit. Yeah. If you're at two, which sounds like she was right about that. You're drunk. Yeah. Like that's fucking drunk. Yes, I would agree. So what the fuck happened? So Danielly and his attorney, they believe that, well, obviously if you're her husband, you're looking for every other thing in the book. I, I can't blame him for that. They believe that she was driving erratically due to a sudden medical emergency, such as she might have had a stroke. They. Or like she was obese, she had diabetes, she had an abscess in her mouth that in a lump in her leg, she might have had an embolism because of these things, like they are like respectfully scraping David just wouldn't let it go even though the autopsy showed basically no record of any of these issues. And at one point he sues the state for the roadway conditions as being a cause of the accident. Oh. Because according to him, that exit in the entrance ramps were super confusing, are poorly marked, and a lot of people agreed, but that doesn't mean you drive two miles down the same, you know what I mean? Like that's not You pull, you don't go. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Obviously that doesn't explain why she was impaired and it Right. But it does add another layer to discussions about how the wrong way thing could have been made. And the family of the deceased from the trailblazer were obviously pissed. I mean, I don't blame them. The brother of the car they hit. Yes. The other people, the trailblazer. Yes. Apologies. I mean that, that aunt and uncle too. Mm-hmm. That, that gets messy as well. Of I Of course it does. Yeah. Of fucking course it does. Yeah. Longo's brother, the one that died in the trailblazer Joseph, I think it was the dad that had died, issued a statement saying in part quote, I want Daniel Schuler to know that he keeps inflicting more pain on, all concerned once again by going to the media to try to paint a picture of a perfect wife and mother. His, the other guy that died, Bai's. Yeah, that's his last name. I hate when they do last names'cause I get confused. Right. Bai's daughters. So I think he had two or three daughters and they appeared with their lawyer on NBCs today. And they raised a couple questions on Daniel's ability. I mean his like enabling of his wife's quote unquote substance abuse, which no one has any proof of. And she said, one of the daughters says, it makes me angry that he keeps denying it. Every time he does it, he brings it back for us. I wish that he would just admit that she was drunk. Maybe if he knows what happened that morning, if he argued or if they argued or anything, that would be the truth. He wants the truth. So do we. That's what she said and then it's so hard it that's so hot. Low size. Yeah. Because if you are on the receiving end, if you're just driving down the highway and you're an innocent human being, yeah. How are you, how are you not mad? How are you a killer? You're the family. And then if you are that husband, how do you reconcile? And you have to, you wanna defend the per the person that's on there to do course defend themselves. Like that's the one thing of course. Even if you're dead wrong, I probably would be in the same. I will say, and we have said it many times, the saving grace to my accident was that we didn't kill anyone else. Yeah. In that, Shannon didn't, I didn't die when Shannon was driving, or I was driving and Shannon died. Yeah. Like the, the weight of the possible guilt, vehicular manslaughter is in, I can't even imagine. Yeah. Yeah. On, on either side being on, yeah. That's fucking impossible. Yeah. Oh God. Yeah, it's a lot. In June of 2010, so it's been almost a year the New York State Police issued its f final report on the crash, and the report upheld the previous toxicology findings that at the time of the crash, she was highly intoxicated by alcohol and had THC in her system. Her husband, obviously, Daniel maintains her innocence and honestly can't blame him for that. It gets a little messy with the in-laws at one point, like the children, the parents of the children that died, which I think is Daniel's brother, I believe they do some suing, like they're suing him because he was like the, he borrowed the car. It was like a whole messy thing, but I don't think they speak anymore essentially because of this instance, which I mean, oh yes, his children died. Yeah, but also it's like, that's your brother. Like I know, it's not like it's tough. It's a weird, I mean, I don't know. I'm not in the position. I can't speak to it, but yeah, I don't know about that. I just can't imagine the lines get messy. Everything does get dropped over time. Like there's people suing the state, there's people suing. Everything gets dropped, like everybody's suing everybody. It all gets dropped. Anyways, Jackie and Warren, the parents of the three nieces, they formed a foundation called the Han Family Foundation, whose main purpose is to honor the lives of their three daughters by ensuring healthy, happy, and safe children through self-esteem educational programming. Oh yeah. The Foundation Central Project is called Beautiful Me. It's a self-esteem program designed to educate girls by promoting appreciation of their genuine abilities, accurate self-awareness, and the satisfaction of helping others. Oh, I love that. That's their motto that even years later, people still debate her motivations in her state of mind reflecting, you know, how this tragedy caused a, a bunch of different narratives. There's so many conflicting accounts and a story that remains unresolved essentially. Although the state says one thing, most people feel another way. And that is the suspicious unknown story of the Taconic State Parkway crash. And what will have you wondering what was wrong with that, Diane? So it sounds like I have thoughts and your sister and I are on the same page. My thoughts are, I feel like possibly she was on something or she was taking a medication and it mixed poorly or there there's just something in play that we're missing. And if she was drinking, she was drinking, whatever. But I just don't think she would ever do that. I don't know her personally, so I can't really, can't really say that. But as to what everyone else is saying, like there's simply no way that this woman just got up and guzzled a fucking vodka and got in a car with her two children and her three nieces with five children in the car made multiple stops and drove straight at 87 miles an hour without, without swarming. Yeah. The, I almost asked you what did she, what medication was she looking for when she stopped and they, you said she, it was pain medication, so there's obviously, maybe there's something at play. I don't know. Maybe she, maybe she was hung over. That's why she was throwing up and she was getting pain medication. Either way, maybe, I don't know what the levels are the next morning after drinking, maybe she drank the night before. What time did they go to bed? I don't know. Yeah, but hun, that it just seems so outta character and it seems so what if she drank really late at night, right. And had her THC, whatever, and they got up in the morning and they were like, oh, fuck. Get the kids in the car, whatever she takes like an anxiety medicine or something. Something's not mixing well, and she becomes ill and disoriented and confused. I, that's possible. Yeah. It sounds like she didn't drink before. She might have drank the night before. He says like, we were drinking the weekend of the camping trip. He ends up coming out with that. So she might have just been hung over. Maybe. But what, what is your blood alcohol level when you're hung over that early in the morning? I have no idea. I mean, who it, I think it depends on the last time you had a drink. Like, what did you have before you went to bed? So we don't know. Like, I don't think they've ever said anything about that. Right. But she has whole ass family members who have never seen her intoxicated one time in their whole life. I don't, she's like avid drinker. Maybe that's like when they go camping and they get loose. Like, I don't know. When we go up to Maine, like that's the time I see like adults being like, oh, we're here and we're st we're staying here. This is like a safe place we get, you know what I mean? I will say what's really jarring is the two miles. That's what I'm saying. And in a straight line, it's one thing to get off on an exit, to go down a one way street, whatever it might be, where you, we've all been there where we turn and we go, oh, this is wrong. You know, right away you don't put your foot on the gas and go straight until you hit, like, it just feels at some point there's obviously people honking at you. Yes. Swerving. I mean, two miles takes a minute or so, and you can see people swerving out of the way. None of that makes sense to me. That's like over two minutes.'cause 85 miles an hour is like, that's a long time. It doesn't feel like a long time. My car accident was probably seven seconds. Like two minutes is a long fucking time. That's so long to be going that fast. Straight. The wrong side of the road on the highway. It, but it feels so out of character. Like the, the picture you painted is so opposite of who this, you know? Yeah. If you look, put a picture of her, you're like, oh my god, sweet mother. So you think something was mixed? I do think some, there's something else at play that's missing from it. I dunno what it's, there's And listen, I mean that would've pulled up on a toxicology report though, so I don't know. But what's interesting is like family members not seeing her intoxicated. Fine. Nobody knows better than your partner, whether you sneak it, whether you're drunk all the time, whatever. He is adamantly saying she did not have a drinking problem. That she was not an average drinker. Correct. Yeah. Correct. I don't know. Genuinely don't dunno. I It's not one other person that's like, hmm, there might have been something off with her. Maybe I was so out of it in 2009. I've never heard that. I've never heard that story in my life. Yeah, it was kinda crazy. Wow. Yeah, she's on Oprah. She was on everywhere. They were on everywhere. Not she, sorry, was it the husband was on Oprah or was on the family? I don't think the family ever was, but I think the husband,'cause he was like trying to get awareness, I think. Well he's sticking up for her because she is obviously getting dragged and painted in a certain light. Yeah. Yeah, he won't let it go and I don't blame him. I also don't understand what happened between A, B, and C. So stop A, the sco, you get gas, the McDonald's, the stop B is calling the brother on the side of the highway and being like something is incorrect C is the accident, right? Mm-hmm. They leave at nine 30. The accident you said was like 1 32. Yeah, it was right at one 30. If she's sober, quote unquote, let's just say at 1130. 11 ish at McDonald's. Yeah. What the fuck happened in those two hours? No idea. And people think she was just chugging vodka in the front of the Yeah, because they found the, because the bottle was there. But then the, he was like, she's the one that picked up the, the, we have one old bottle. That's how much we don't drink. He's like, we have one bottle that we keep. Right. And then like, if you're, if you're at a campsite and there's not a lot of bins near you, you pick up after yourself.'cause they don't sound like people who would litter in nature. You know what I mean? They're not like, fuck. So it would make sense if they brought that for the weekend and then she brought it in the car. That is fucking insane. That's a horrible story. I know. I'm sorry. But I just wanted to get, I just needed you to think about it. Wow. Wow. And I knew it had, and had Aaron in a bottle too. She goes, I think about that at least once a week. Really? I have, I've never heard that story in my life. So what were your sources? What did you watch the, I've seen the HBO documentary. What happened to Aunt Diane? Oh, so no, sorry. Something happened to aunt. Something's wrong with Aunt Diane. Something's wrong with Aunt Diane. Well, I won't be watching it. No, respectfully. No, that's totally fine. And now, so it's just done like nobody knows. And that's just it, it's just something people talk about that they're like, Hmm, but what, what happened to her? Something, something was wrong. That's probably my worst nightmare. Yes. Yeah, yeah. But like the, not even of, of course, like what happened in the, the collateral damage, in the absolute devastation it causes from the ripple effect for multiple families here. That poor little boy, of course, is all I can think about. Yeah. Also, to just not ever know, to just be this person your whole life and then your worst day, your last day. Being the thing that paints the picture for you for the rest of time. Yeah. For your only surviving child. Yeah. You're no longer Diane. The sweet devoted mother. You are Diane, who killed your child and your three nieces. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. While drinking and driving. Right. And like, that's it. That's it. Toxicology, done. Check, dusted. Now they probably, I know after mine, they shut down the highway and they recreated the accident and they, they, they have to do that if it's a fat fatality. So like, I can only, Ima they have to recreate that. They have to like go back two miles in. You know what I mean? Like they have to plot that whole fucking thing. Yeah. So a part of me is like that toxicology, like that you can't lie in an autopsy. Yeah. That tells more than, so something is not right. Something is incorrect. But to go from McDonald's to that is insanity to me. And also it sounds like she was upset in trying to check in with her brother and then to just stop answering and leave her phone on the side of the highway. Like what, what flip what Switch flipped here.'cause that's what to leave your fall on the side of the highway is fucking crazy. No, I know. And like a to, I think a toll booth person found it. It was like near the tolls. Jesus Christ. Yeah. So sorry to B blender you that, that terrible story, but I just needed to Okay. So I need a pick me up. So you're gonna have to tell me something else. Okay. About your life. Like right now or like next week? Yeah. Let's talk about a super stupid thing. Okay. Okay. I can tell you a stupid thing. Okay, great. Because I don't, I don't think I have anything on lock right now. I have a playlist and it is called Girl Hood. Okay. And I created it. Is it Apple and I? Yep. Can you share it with me? Yes. Yay. And it is just songs that make me happy and it's songs. It's not a pussy pop. It's like, if I could explain it in any way, it's Natasha Bedingfield on steroids. It's 75, the windows are down, you're singing in the car, songs. Like it's a lot of Olivia Dean Love 75. Love 75. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. It's like. Feel good. Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, like Alite. Oh yeah. It's like songs like that legit, that get your pussy popping in your I've been, I've been bumping old Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus, and that's been getting me through. Oh, see, I flowers on here.'cause I love flowers. I that, um, reason I have another take that will cross out my last take. The Hillary DT resurgence. Right. I, I'm not a fan of her new songs, but I do appreciate her reperforming, even if it's lip syncing. Like the old, she had so many fucking bops, so many bops I like totally forgotten. And she also sang the song from Raise Your Voice. Stop. Oh my God. Were you so happy? Yeah. And she did the do you remember her Iconic on I think it might've been Thanksgiving Day Parade or like Today Show? Yeah. Oh, I saw that. She redid it. She didn't even know the thing. I'm like, you know it, you've been by Yes. Stop acting like you, you don't like it. She's like, what? Like, yes, you do. She's saying the Lizzie McGuire. Oh, hang out. Hey, now, hey, now this is what dreams are made of. But like, that's so incredible. I love that. We all need more of this is what dreams are fucking made of in our lives. Harry Styles back on tour, I did see that as well. You started watching. I heard the tickets are insane though. I mean obviously he's like Elton John these days. He really is the modern day. I started, but I don't know how long it's gonna go for me because, you know, my tennis fan, game of Thrones, I was just like, can I tell you I'm rewatching it. Really? Which is so fucking weird. That's so weird and random.'cause I haven't talked about that at all. I know. Me either. I haven't told anyone. John randomly put it on and I was like, I guess I should get luck. He was like, I feel like you like it.'cause he is like, you read those weird books? I'm like, no, it's very different. No, I know it's, it's smut, but it's not that same type of stuff. Well, he was like, yeah, well, so those, they're siblings over there. And I'm like, so, okay. Okay. Do you have questions? Yeah. I've only watched the first three episodes, so like, okay. Not really. So you need time? Yeah, yeah. I'm just, I'm, I'm getting confused. And I, when they talk sometimes I'm like, who is that? And what is the point of this? So the Lannisters and the Starks are like the two main families. Yeah. I understood. The boys, they all get a, a wolf or whatever, the dire wolves. Yes, yes, yes. And ine Lannister is married to a barian. Mm-hmm. And they, that family also comes into play. Okay. For now, just worry about that. There's also the gray joys, like the theon gray joy is he's always around the Starks. He hates Johnstone. He's really mean to Johnstone. I fucking hate it. Okay. But there's like the gray joys come in, and then you have our girl alii. Yeah. Who is, I just see her like silent looking, scared, annoyed with her brother, and then fucking that man. What, what are we doing? Yes. Carl Rogo. Yes. A K Jason Momoa. Yes, girl. Oh God bless. So what is. So all of these stories are happening simultaneously in the books. I have only read the first two books. I have not read all of George r Martin's books. Just go with the flow. Just watch it. Just absorb it. Do not get attached to anyone. I'm gonna say that again. Do not. I just get it to, I am talking like, if they show one main character the entire season, they're probably gonna get murdered. Like you, you can't because I, I will never forget sitting and watching it with my roommates and them just listing off all of their favorite characters. And I'm like, murdered, murdered, murdered, murdered, murdered. Like, you can't, I can't get over the man from Elf. That's a South Pole elf, if I've ever seen one. He's the best. He's not the best, but he's one of the best. He's the one like. I just, I really, I really like him. Okay. He's one of the good ones, especially with, with thelan. I'll get the, I'll get past the incest. Yeah. That gets, that gets, it's, it's from a very long time ago when that was like a thing. Oh really? And you, you just get a lot of that happens and you just kind of have to get over it. Got it. Got it. There's a lot of that, A lot of whorehouses as they're called mm-hmm. In the show. Lot of murder brothels, lot of brothels, lot of brothels, lot of like decapitations, lot of blood, lot of gore twists turns. Every time you think you know what's going on, you don't. What I will tell you is the ninth episode of every season is the craziest. Okay. Noted. If you get to number nine, just know something is about to go the fuck down for the last two. Don't count. The last two seasons I don't wanna talk about. But up until then, the ninth episode is fucking crazy. Okay, well I'm gonna watch episode three or four tonight. With Johnny. He's gonna explain it all to me as I watch. Oh my God. This is just for our fans. The red wedding. Can we even picture Colleen the red wedding? Okay, well we're just gonna cross that bridge when we get to Why would I? Would I like it there? No. Are they wearing red? No. Sure. Are they having sex? Uhhuh. Okay. Did, yeah, I'd like it there. That seems fun. Screaming. I'm screaming. Okay, well keep us posted on that. Do you have anything fun coming up? No, just Paris. Okay. What's the game plan? We have to finalize that. We've all just been like kind of not talking about it, so, but I'll be with them all this weekend. So we're gonna rot and plan. Do you remember? They don't do month, date year? Yes. I did book a river cruise and I did do the correct dates. Okay, we love that. And I think you'll love it. And I did realize you can change the website to English, so that's my fault. Okay, that's great. Yep. And did you pick a time when the. Eil Tower lights up. Did you pick later at night or did you pick some? Oh, nighttime, of course. Nighttime. Okay, great. Yeah, of course I did pick an Italian one. They have an, they have a Italian river cruise that's Italian food. I'm like, thank God. Because at that point it's, it'll be our last day there. Okay. I'm gonna be so over it, but, but like chicken parm is not Italian. It's American. No, I know. I'm saying, well, either way you, but you can't go on a river boat cruise in Paris and ask for chicken parm. I will tell you. No, they only have like three things on the menu. Okay, great. I strip one and they're all like, pasta dishes. So I was like, fuck yeah, I'm gonna, I don't wanna be eating escargo on day five. I just can't do it anymore. Anymore. As if you are going to eat it at all. No, but a lot of steak fruits and I love that. You're just gonna have fucking croons. A quiel sal. Are you gonna try to steal some jewels from the Louvre? I think I could get away with it. Okay. It's Paris Fashion Week and it's like hot couture. It's a whole thing. Yeah. Tiana Taylor. Yes. Showed up. In the jewels that were reimagined from the heist. Oh, really? Covered in them. I love that about her. She looks so fucking incredible. It was this like lace outfit and she has multiple crowns on and basically this one designer like recreated all of the stolen Louvre jewels in things that were stolen and then put them on people. So smart. So smart. That's cool. So beautiful. Okay, what else are you gonna do? Because you did a few things last time, so I'm, I'm curious, like what you didn't do last time. We'll probably have to redo,'cause Fiona. Yeah, of course. It's, it's, so we have to go to Versa. You have to go to the loaf. I have to spend hours in Versailles again. I just can't, oh, the Versailles. I can't, I need to see what's her name's Maria Cho's bed again. I just can't Oh, the Hall of Mirrors. Stunning, stunning student. I don't know if they wanna go to catacombs'cause I went and I'm the creepy one, so I don't know if they wanna do that again. I went to the gar whatever gardens I went by myself. I don't know if they'll wanna do that again. It's really, it's actually colder here than it is there. Which is crazy. It's like 50 there. Mm-hmm. We're gonna do a lot of shopping. We didn't, I didn't shop last time, so I went to one like shopping section, like the gallery, whatever the fuck it is. But I like, just didn't, I was just kind bopping like I didn't buy anything. And now I want to buy things and I want to go to the markets and I wanna go to the flea markets and they have a I forget what it's called'cause I'm ignorant. And it's a like a section of the month where apparently they don't do like clearance sales. At all in Paris, it's like not allowed. Okay. So all stores can do sales this month of the year. It's like their least busy month of the year, like tourism wise. And it ends the day after we get there 30% to 70% off for six week periods. Yes. The winter sale starts on the second week, Wednesday of January. Okay, so you're going right at the right time. Yes. Love that. That is spectacular. Listen, I know that you're broke. Like we, we talk about it on here a lot. You know? It is what it is. I hope you can go and buy yourself a few things. Like with you, there's only so many times in your life you're gonna go to Paris and go shopping. You know what I mean? Like, I really want a vintage for a coat. I, I think you can find that, and I don't think you have to spend thousands of dollars to get a coat call. I think my, I think if it was like 500, I would do it. I think you should. I think I should too. I think that you should fuck it a little bit. Not all the way. No. You know, I, we don't go into full debt. No. I'm already in debt. I, I just mean more debt. Yeah. But like. Come on. I know Frolicking with your best friends down the street in, in the flea markets of Paris while you drink, smoke, so many cigarettes, wine and smoke, eat cheese come fucking on. They have really good vintage, I feel like old school, like brand stuff. Like they have, and it's like not expensive. Like they have so many vintage, not that I really care about, like a fucking Chanel thing or other, I don't. But you know what I really want, there's a place. And I think that it became one of those like overhype TikTok things, which is really annoying. But there's a place that you can do personalized, like old school, like those heavy, nice tortoise combs and those old school brushes and you can get them like gold and engraved and I really want one. And I, I'm gonna go do that. I think I fucking love that. Yeah, I think you should pick like two to three things that you're willing to, to do that for. And then everything else is just like tchotchkes. Yeah. I agree Are what are you gonna pack? You love your fits? I don't know. I have to, I do. I wanna pre-plan my fits and like take a picture of them in my mirror and then put them in. I'm gonna do it that way. I think that's really smart. That way you don't over pack. Lemme tell the Amazon guy is done with my shit. He's done in between me, Aaron and Fiona. He's done with us.'cause you know I'll be returning. I'll be returning. Girl, you gotta be a little bit more conscious. We can't order 70,000 things in return. 69,999 of them. I can though. I didn't order that many things. I actually had a lot of things in my closet already, which is crazy. Oh good lord. Okay, well I hope you have the best time. I want you to send me lots and lots of photos. I will wee be. Will, sorry for traumatizing you today. That's okay. The world is the dumpster fire and we are just here. And we are just here surviving sleigh. Cheers from afar. Cheers, everyone. Have a lovely week and go buy yourself something nice. Fuck it. We're all in debt and everything sucks. Floating rock. Floating rock. Okay. Love you mean it. Love you mean it. Goodbye. Mama's broke.
