69: All About PROM! Reminiscing on our High School Proms + Our 2010s Playlist!
Welcome, this is Hannah and Calissa and Sarah and um, it's March which means prom season is coming up. Prom season, but all the girlies should have gotten their prom dresses in what, December? Oh, I don't know. Is that when people go shopping for prom? I think so. Oh, I think I went shopping, like, a month before. President's Day? When's President's Day? January? I have no idea. I think that's when like, you know, sales and everything go on. So, um, I just wanted to talk about this because I saw a TikTok of a A dress owner, right? Like a shop owner. A shop owner who like has wedding dresses, prom dresses, what all the dresses you can think of. And she said she only gets like four styles of dresses or no um, she gets a dress but she gets four of them. Different sizes and I didn't know if this is a thing or was a thing But she asked where you go to school at so she makes sure she doesn't sell the same dress to people from the same school Mm hmm, and I'm like who cares? I feel like also I don't know if I'd care Cause it's always been a thing It's always been a thing But here's the thing, I never was allowed to go prom dress shopping. Really? Thank you, mother. What? So I had secondhand dresses for all of my Oh, me too. Goodwill. Me too. I had borrowed one from somebody. We had, like at my high school, we had like a thing where people donated their old prom dresses. And so I think both of my prom dresses were from that. I'll have to see, oh gosh, I bet I don't even have that picture anymore from my first, my sophomore prom. I bet I don't have that picture. Yeah, I had a, I think I, my first, I was freshman, so it was a secondhand dress, but. It's whatever. But yeah, I just didn't know that was a thing. Yeah, like making sure no one has the same dress. Mm hmm, but um, or at least in the same color or is it like same dress at all? Same dress at all. Okay, got it. Um, she said this mom and daughter came in December. Mm hmm. And they tried to dress on, they liked it, but they didn't buy it that day. Mm hmm. And then here it was in March. They called and was like, hey, do you still have that dress? And she's like, I just sold it. Home presence y or whatever. And they're, they're threatening like, who'd you sell it to? And she's like, I'm not gonna disclose that. And they're, they found out who the girl was, cause I think they went to the same school. But this mom and her daughter, you know, they're cheerleaders, so she's popular. The girl that bought it, is not as popular, but she has a dress, and They tried to buy it off her or something? Um, they were threatening her, they egged her car. What? They're bullying her, um, even the grandpa called the shop owner and was like, If you don't do something, I will and the shop owner's like, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? Like literally, what are you going to do? And she's like, I'm thinking about calling the police and filing a report. Restraining order like I don't know this mom and daughter. They're like, it's mostly the mom this shop owner said That she's they're bullying this poor girl Because I guess they made like a Facebook page The school did and you post your prom dress to make sure it's approved. Make sure no one else has set the same style Mm hmm, and they found out that that girl has the dress that they wanted and then they've just been like bullying her relentlessly Get over it literally And I'm just like, who cares? Well, I, I don't know, but that's, that's old me, that's old me. Cause I remember being petty at my friend who had the same style of dress as me. It's a different color. And I'm like, Nicole, you can't have that. That's my, so I can't talk. I'm teenage Hannah. Cause I wouldn't egg someone's house. You're an adult Hannah. Young adult Hannah. Yeah. But that would have been me. I wouldn't have egged someone. I wouldn't have bullied. I just would have been like, hey! Like, what the heck. You would have been like, afterwards to another friend, you would have been like, what the heck? Why'd she have that? Ooh! Yeah. So did you get to go new prom dress shopping? Um, for my Senior year for sure. Okay. Junior year, I think so. Yeah. Okay. Freshman, hand me down. And where'd you go? Because I'm, that's my thing is like, where is there to buy a prom dress around here? Debs. Oh, is there places? Oh. This was like way, I forget you guys are for a different place. Um, Debs doesn't exist anymore, but. Yeah. There's, I know there's a dress place in St. Ansgar. Okay. Yep. There's a place here. I think mine was more like a. Where else you would go? Uh, just, uh. It wasn't a local, yeah. That wasn't a thing. Unless it was. I feel like most people buy them online, don't they? Yeah. Isn't that what you would do? That's what I would do now. Well, I would go to Goodwill, of course, Mom. Okay, so I just looked at those two pictures that you sent, though, and you look fab. Yeah. Like, big hair, Calissa. Sexy. I love it. Oh, I love this one. I think the blue actually looks really good on you. Yeah. We'll post these pictures. So cute. But I looked at the blue and I was like, Oh, you look so snatched. So funny story. Is she wearing a wedding? Is that a wedding dress? Or is that a prom dress? That is snatched. Yeah. Dang. The gloves. Wow. Ooh! Snatched. Cinderella! I know. Like, whoa. I love it. That was me and my ex boyfriend. See, I have We had to go to prom together because there was no one else. I have one from Yeah, don't be broken up. I have one from sophomore year. And I was with an ex boyfriend, but I probably deleted that picture, but it was the kind of similar to your blue one. It was a drop waste. It was brown, actually, and it had like a sash, and like it was strapless. Actually, it was pretty cute, but I don't, I'll have to look through my Facebook and see if I can find it, but I doubt I still have it. Shame. Yeah, my senior year, I got low on the dance floor and split the dress right up the back. Like my whole butt was hanging out. Shout out to my Mrs. Milbrandt, who sewed me up in the library really quick. Wow. So yeah, it was super. What song was it to Embarra? I don't probably get low. Oh, hilarious. Get low. Get low. Get low. Love it. Into the window. So yeah, there are, thanks for my Goodwill Dress Mom. like you actually went to Goodwill. Mm-hmm Yeah. And if it works, it works. But like, just to find your size. Mm-hmm Any alterations? Pretty impressive. No. Wow. That's insane. Yeah, neither one. The, uh, the blue one or the brown one. I've got one more that I borrowed from, I've got, went sophomore year too, but, yeah. So what was your mom's budget? Uh, there wasn't a budget. There was, this is the dress that you're gonna have. Goodwill. Yeah. Well, Goodwill, like, I don't know what the price is. Fifty bucks. Yep. Yeah. Hundred bucks. Fifty bucks. That's it. Yeah. Uh huh. Used, hand me down. Yep. Because, I think, my, Sophomore year, it was becoming really common for like, these girls, they buy the 1, 000 dresses, wear it once, and then they're like, Here it is. That's insane. I think they're even insaner. There's more like insane prices now. Yeah. What they're willing to spend. That's crazy. I would never. Like we, both my dresses were secondhand and the second one Was like a 10 that I had to take down to like a 2 or a 0 or something and And I think the alterations cost way more than oh, yeah, like I think we got the dress for like 25 bucks maybe or something and Probably spent triple that on alterations for it But still that's like way cheaper than what other people paid for their dress I want to know if I have my prom dresses still I don't know if my mom does I have my blue one I think I gave the other one away. The printed one? Yes, the one that had to get sewn up. I gave that away to somebody else. Yeah. My mom gave one of mine. And I was with a warning of like, uh, by the way, you need to I thought I would be heartbroken when my mom was like, do you still want this dress? I'm like, no, give it to this girl. Cause she wanted to wear it. Yeah. And I saw her prom, her prom dress pictures. And I'm like, oh, she looks so beautiful. Yeah. Yeah. Memories. Mm hmm. Yeah. Oh man, yeah, so my junior year, like I said, I went with my ex boyfriend. So that was super awkward all night long. We had dated for like three months and I was absolutely Heartbroken. And he looked fab though. Ah, well. Like, I mean, he looked fantastic. So, that's his loss. Yeah. His loss. Um. He dumped you? Yeah. Is this when you were getting your Taylor Swift songwriting era? Yup. I bet. Yup, absolutely. And, uh, so a whole night at prom. He wouldn't, he, not even a slow dance, nothing. Like, it's like, come on. Dude. Something. Wow. Or prom dates. You know what I mean? So, I was just. Just like, cause he didn't want to lead you on? Or he was like trying to be with someone else? Or what? No, he was trying. Yeah, I don't think he wanted to lead me on. I was probably, would've latched on to anything, so. Oh, sad. Yeah. So, it was probably for my own good, but, uh, yeah. So, how did you start the, this was your junior year? Mm hmm. How did you start the night? We all went out to eat. We all drove separately, I think. Um. I don't know if we rode in a vehicle. I think if we rode in a vehicle together. I don't know how we got there I think I was with other people and we went up to this restaurant in like just at the border of Minnesota And we all ate there. It was pretty fancy place to eat. I didn't get to decide any of the Logistics or whatever, but we just went along with it because we're both kind of like on the edge of the group Not like super in the group, so it was a little, little awkward, but it was fine. And then we came back and then we did prom activities. Um, my, I had to plan my junior year. For the post prom. Mm-hmm Oh, fun. Because I was on student council, so we did a bunch of like inflatables. Nice. You know how like the mm-hmm Like the obstacle courses and then mm-hmm the bungee run where you try to run and grab the balls while you're hooked up to the bungee cord and it just like snaps you back. Um, and that was super fun. The summa wrestling suits, stuff like that for post prom fun. So, yeah. Did you guys have a hypnotist? Yep, we had that one year. I think that was my senior year. Yeah. I've always wanted to do it. Yes. I tried. I thought I would. I think I wanted it too bad because I really wanted to be hypnotized because like, but it was kind of sucky for the kids that got hypnotized because it's like, they didn't get an experience. Like they didn't, like they were hypnotized. They didn't realize what happened. Yeah. So they just like. And cell phones weren't really a thing. Yes. Yeah. Nope. I had my Kodak. I had my Kodak. I had my Kodak. Camera. I'll have to send pictures of the hypnotist. Kodak sponsor this episode. Yeah. That's funny. What did you guys do for post prom? Um. I only went to post prom one year. Oh, it was too cool for you? Um, well, so this would, okay, so Sophomore year I went with my boyfriend at the time. And we didn't go to post prom. And I don't remember why. If it was just because I had a curfew. I don't recall why. Maybe we, we were both like really big introverts and so for us to go was like. Kind of uncomfortable. And then this, my junior year, we went to prom together cause we were still together and we only went to post prom and not prom prom. Um, and that was fine. It was the same kind of thing. There was a hypnotist, someone played doubles. I don't know. Again, like I'm an, I'm an introvert. Sarah was too cool for it. It was just boring. I just like, didn't want to do that stuff cause I was Too cool. No, I just like I'm comfortable. It's just uncomfortable. Like I don't put myself out there for that and then senior year We were planning on going to post prom, but I got like a migraine and so I ended up going home. Hmm Poopy. Yeah, it's a bummer. Yeah, I did so Nick went to a different school So, was it junior year? Junior year they got a bus. It's like a, not a big bus. Like a party bus? A shorter bus, yeah. But there was like, poles. Oh gosh. And they were playing loud music. Lights were going like crazy. But I didn't know anyone really from that group. So I was just kind of, I was on the outs. It was like his group, you went with his group. Yeah, but. Wow, who paid for that? Yeah. Exactly. It was probably like a pool. Yeah, I don't remember paying anything. Well, it was probably Nick's thing if he was gonna pay at all. Yeah, I don't know. But um, yep, we did that, but I, I wanted to be, you know, with the girlies, but like. You don't know them. I didn't know them and they didn't really like, come and dance, you know, nothing like didn't invite you. So I'm just kind of sitting on the bus like, I don't know where to go help. Yeah. Cause I, yeah, just didn't feel, they were nice. I just didn't feel that good. Included. Yeah. No. Yeah. Included. And then we went to Osage. We ate at Tell You What. Yum. And I was like, Osage. But like the restaurant was really nice. Yeah. And they. I thought it was the fanciest restaurant. Like, I was like, oh my gosh, this is so fancy and Nick got a burger and it was like this tall with a knife in it. I was like, whoa I've never seen a burger. Literally the same eating habits now like 10 years later. I know, no, nothing's changed. And then, yep, we went to prom. I don't remember it. I just, I don't remember it. Yeah. And the post prom, their post prom was so fun. They had a game show, like a person playing like a Jeopardy, or I don't know. They had Plinko, they had inflatables, they had a rodeo, they had. Cool. Oh, rodeo's cool. You know, like that. The bowl, the mechanical bowl. Yeah, and I was like, man, you guys are rich. Yeah, no kidding. They had everything you could think. They had all the snacks, all the drinks, all like. It was like an amusement park. Nice. But, um, Nick didn't want to stay long because he wanted to do other things. He's like, you want to get out of here? And I'm like, no, it's fun here. And I was like, oh, I see what you're trying to do. Oh, gosh. Oh, geez. Yeah. Yeah. And then, um, I don't really remember our, my school stuff. I don't remember the dance. I don't remember, post prom. Kind of a blur. I only remember because I took so many effing pictures. See, and that's the thing, like, I wish I would have taken more pictures or something. I don't know. I think I only have distinctive memories of certain things because they're like really, um, They're like really strong feelings attached to it. So like being uncomfortable, like at the dance, like while other people are dancing and I'm just like uncomfortable, like those feelings were so strong that I have like very vivid memories. And I think that's why I remember the party bus because like all the girlies, you know, they were with their, their girls. And I was just kind of on the outs and I'm like, I remember I'm wanting to go home. Yeah. I was like, I want to go home. Yeah. Yeah. My senior year prom. We were together at that point. And so Calvin was my date and he was the worst date in the world. I hope he hears this. He knows too, cause we've talked about this over the years. What did he do? He, so we went with his, this is your senior year. Yeah. Okay. So senior year, you're getting ready for prom. Yeah. We had a bunch of, we had like a friend group or whatever, and like his best friend obviously was in that group. And so. His best friend also had a girlfriend that I was like friends with and whatever, but Calvin and his best friend just like went off and did their own thing the whole time. And so I was like, dude, what the heck? He was literally the worst. Like, we didn't dance together one single time. And like, if he was dancing, it was with his friend. And like, they were being goofy and I'm just like, dude, this is like the worst. Like this was, you were going to be so fun. And this is like the worst ever. Like this was worse than my sophomore prom when it was like both of us, at least being awkward together. Like now it's like, you're having fun with your friend and I'm over here. Like, okay, why did I, why did I buy tickets for this? Like, why did I get dressed up for this? This is the dumbest thing ever. Um, so then, okay. So what about going out to eat? I have no recollection. I think my senior year, I think we ate. At our friend's house. So like his best friend's girlfriend. That's where we like took pictures and stuff So I think we ate at their house. I'm pretty sure cuz our group was like kind of big I bet sophomore year probably we I bet we went to Carlos O'Kelley's cuz that was my Carlos O'Kelley's. Oh so good Yeah, I think that's probably where we went cuz that was my favorite and he would just let me do whatever I wanted So I was like, yes so Yeah, so junior year, I don't remember if we did anything special before we went to your vehicle ride. What did you and Calvin do? We probably drove in his jank ass car. He had like the grossest little like old car ever and it was so nasty, but I'm sure that's what we drove in. We didn't pay for like, see, and all that nonsense. Yeah, everyone. I'm not paying money for this. This is nonsense. Everyone seemed to have a limo. What? They had a party bus and everything. That's insane. What a waste of money. And we're just one town over and we didn't have any of that. You didn't have any of that? No. Everybody drove their cars. Yeah, I don't think, I felt so embarrassed that like I had to be in my car. I'm like, oh god. I don't think we had limos really at my school either. Yeah. I don't think so. Oh man. Geez. Yeah. Yeah. We got some rich parents over there. Oh, we used to have seen their houses. They were just like, what? Huge. Yeah. There's a lot of millionaires over in my hometown. Farmers. Oh, sure. Sure. Farmers. Sure. Yeah. And like, I get it. Like, I want my kids to have like a really fun prom, a good day or never all that stuff. But that's like when you go with good people. Not like buddies. Yes. How much money you spend on dumb stuff. Yeah. Yeah, um, I went my sophomore year with my best, my brother's best friend, because he didn't have a date. Oh, that'd be so fun though. Oh. I guess it depends how close you are. No, I mean, it was fine. Which brother? Carl. Yes. Yes. Uh, so anyway, it was just kind of awkward. I never got that like prom experience where. Like from the movies together. Oh, cute. Oh, Calissa. I was never really like. You're cute though. Yeah, and then we had a hypnotist that year too. Nice. But it was nice because, Oh, there's my brother. Oh, that's hilarious. Yeah, they were something else. Him and Nick I think were really good friends. Oh really? Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't doubt that. Yeah. So I think like Nick was, I think they just like, Nick, Carl, and they just like, yes. Oh yes. Yes. Upper bound. Yes. Yeah. They were both nerds and just nerding out. Like, yeah. Just big nerds. I mean, he still is a nerd. Yeah. So. Yeah. But. Really bonded. I remember at the very end of post prom, I was hoping to get invited to the party. And so we were all outside. You didn't like pre plan for that? What party? Uh, the big, you know, the drinking party, the house party afterwards. Oh, I didn't know that was a thing. Yes. Oh, yeah. Outside of my, yeah. And so I was really hoping I would go and he, well, he walked me to my car and he's like, well, I'm going to go to the party now. I guess you should probably get going home. And I was like, damn it. Ah! So I just went home. He didn't even take you home? No. Oh. I drove home. What a trash boy. Yeah, it's okay. It's okay. I guess you weren't really like, date. We weren't dating at all. It's just like a friend. It's a stinker though. It's okay. That's too bad. So I never had that magical prom night. I went with Regan my senior year, which was super fun to do like friends, um, cause her boyfriend was out of school. I think he was too old to go. Oh my. Yeah. Like 20, I think, was our cap, so it was too old to go, I was like, ooh. Yeah, but he was two years older than us, so yeah. Um, and then, uh, I didn't have a date, and I already graduated, so I couldn't go if I wasn't invited. Oh, you. Because I graduated early, yeah. Oh! out of the goodness of her heart. I bet that was probably the most fun year, though. Yes, there was some drama, though. Oh, thank you. With a foreign exchange student. Uh oh. Is that everybody had a crush on? Yes. So I was certain. That we were gonna go to prom together. Uh oh. And, uh, he did not ask me, he asked, uh, another girl that he was with. Ugh. Secretly. Ew. At the time. Okay. So, I was pretty upset. And everyone thought that we would go to prom together. Oh, shit. Like, everyone was like, wow, I can't believe he's taking her. Oh, gosh. I get to see Callis in her room, right in the song. I did. Journaling. I did. It's called Trashy. And then she sent it to him. She filmed it on her camera and sent it to him on MySpace. You're so trashy. Maybe it's pretty good. I'll play it for you. Okay, do it. But, no. I probably won't. But anyway, uh, yeah, so there was some, some drama my senior year. What about like out to eat stuff for you guys? Did you guys have a big like dinner? Yeah, we had a big group. We had a giant group. Your senior year? Yeah, my senior year and my junior year. We both, um, let's see if I can find the pictures. Uh, cause we just. Did you all meet up on someone's house or something? Yes. Yep. Yeah, it's, um, this group. We had a lot of people. Dang! Yeah, send those to the group too so we can look at everybody's dress. Okay. Yeah, that's good. What was the style of dress? Patterns. Patterns and neon. I think my senior year or my junior year, my senior, well I think honestly all three of my years I'm pretty sure was like neon pattern stuff. Yeah. This was like the, the like tropical bird looking dresses. But I think zebra friend, everyone was tanning. I wish I would've tanned. Why? You're so tan, you're already brown. I was a white brown. So like, but like the girls at Tan, they were glistening. They probably had glitter on. Oh, yeah, body oil for sure, but with their tan oiled Skin with that neon dress like they were just it was glowing. They were a supermodel I was like you could work you could walk down the runway. I was also glowing but it was because I was so white But I was literally iridescent Really see it in my senior picture cuz like my hair was red My dress was red like they're really bright and it makes me just look so white. Yeah. Well all the senior girls I mean Tanning, their hair was done beautifully, their makeup was done, and they were wearing neon dresses. Oh yeah, did you guys pay to get your hair and makeup and stuff done? No, I did it all myself. Oh my god, you made those big voluminous hairs? Yes, I did. Girl! Most of it's not my hair. extensions. Oh, shoot. Talented though. It looks really good. I like it. Thank you. I think the only one I took seriously was next junior prom. Oh, so we called up with James. School, I didn't realize it was like they were actually student. I just in my head. I was like, oh my mom wants me to get so fancy. So my mom's like you gotta call and make the appointment. I'm like Okay. And so I call them, I'd like to make an appointment for my prom. And they're like, okay. And the girl, the student, she was super nice. But then she asked a weird question during my updo. She's like, Are you really popular? Oh gosh. How do you answer that? Yes, obviously, look at me. And I want to be like, no. But, I'm like. Uh, I don't know. That's good. What a weird question ask. It was a weird question and I'm like, but she did a fabulous job on my hair. Yeah. I can't wait to see pictures. Yeah. I got my hair done the first time for sophomore prom. Mm-hmm And then after that I just curled it for my senior. Yeah. I was like, not that concerned. Yeah. Like I don't wanna spend more money on this. I don't know. How much did you get nails done? Hair. No, never. I didn't know that was a thing. I didn't know that was a thing either. My either nails down to the literal qui So like there was nothing to attach nails to? Nope. Like if they were gonna paint'em, it'd be like you'd have to paint my skin. It looked like I had nails on, you know? No, I didn't. I didn't know nails was a thing. I didn't know tanning was a thing. I mm-hmm I don't think, no, no makeup, like artists, I think everyone just did it themselves, but they just did such a good job. Mm-hmm Nope. Eyelashes did good job. That surprises me for the two thousands, like, okay. Yeah, it was pretty good. I mean, just heavy eyeliner. I did a buttload of glitter for my senior year. Glitter? Maybe it was a thing? Do you guys remember your prom songs? No. Tonight We Are Young. What's that? Who's that? Tonight. Oh yeah, got it, got it, got it. We are young. Got it. Hated that song. What's the other one? Um, I'm sure there were songs that were popular but I just don't recall. Literally just look up Yes, 2012. There is a Spotify playlist that I follow and it's like, um, bumping and grinding in a middle school cafeteria dance or something like that. And it's literally all the songs from like my middle school. Yep. That year. Yeah. Or high school or whatever. Definitely takes you back. Yeah. But again, I didn't listen to that stuff regularly. So like the only memories I have of those are from like random. See and I just like forced to go to yeah I think I was just so fixated on looking at everyone looking at how beautiful their dresses were and how like nice they look that I Just didn't pay attention to the music I know but I'm such a Room scanner you I love watching people literally like if I could just sit in the corner and just look at everybody like that would Make my whole night now when do you guys go out to eat now every once in a while and like it's? During prom season, then you're surprised by like prom people who walk in or homecoming. Oh, I love just looking at them and be like, wow, girl, that is like, I always check out people's modesty because I'm like, Oh my gosh, we would never have been allowed to wear that. Oh, I say that all the time. Like they have like boobs hanging out so short. There's like cutouts. I'm like, Oh my gosh, grandma. She is like literally the only seamstress. Yes. And she's like, look at this homecoming dress. I'm like, that's pretty short. She's like, she wants to go shorter. Like that's insane. I'm like my actual butt cheeks would be hanging out. How do you dance in that? Wouldn't you like your coochie would be, do they dance or do they grind? Look at Sabrina Carpenter. Like she has like underwear on. Right. That's probably what they're planning on. Like little spankies on. Yeah. That's just the, okay. So yeah, 2012's like the prom dresses were bright, neon colors, patterns. Now it's like, black. It's mesh. It's Slits all the way up to the hip. Two pieces were really big in, like, um, a couple years, I think, after I graduated. Yes. The two piece tresses. Yes. So it's like the Yes. A crop. The tube top top. Yeah. With the, like, the long Skirt. Skirt or whatever. It was really popular. It's kind of crazy to see how The styles change. Yes. Yeah. But, like, it's a little bit more revealing now. Oh my gosh. It's so revealing. My mother would never I know. She would be like, Nope. And this red dress that I have had like a mesh top. It was like basically a halter fabric and then the top was mesh. And I was like, even that was like a little much for me because I like couldn't wear a regular bra. I was like, oh my gosh. Yeah, the high slits. That's huge. Yeah. Which like, why? You're going to see things pop out. It's just a lot. I thought you were making the cat noise. I don't know. I don't know what sound I made or why I made it, but yeah. Things are going to pop out. A lot of dresses now, I'm just like, um, Linda would never. Yeah. I don't know if my mom would have been like, no, but she would have been like, are you sure? That is the one thing that I am a little sad about being a boy mom. Is that, oh, won't get to the shop. We can't go prom dress shopping, so I'm gonna take my nieces. I think I'm gonna, there's only three nieces, so like their senior year, I'm gonna like splurge and let'em get like a crazy dress. I have one niece who's in high school and she's actually, I think she's graduating at the end of next year. Mm-hmm Or maybe at the end of this year. No, next year. She's junior this year and she went to prom, or maybe it was homecoming. And I like got to go with, and we were like in town, so I like got to go with and like see her take pictures and stuff. Um, but she had another aunt do her makeup, and I was like kind of sad about it, and I was like, oh man, I wish she would have asked me. She's just like, we're very similar, like we listen to a lot of the same music, and like we have a similar style and stuff, and so like, It's like, man, this would have been so fun for us to do together. But also like, that's not my kid, so, you know. Like, I can only be an aunt and be like, if you wanna Let's hang out. Mm hmm, you know, but yeah, yeah, yeah, cuz like the guys other nieces So we'll see the guys are like whatever. Yeah, no one really picked up. Just like the dresses and the hair You just get a tuxedo. Like if you want to match your vest or whatever to your lady go for it Otherwise black. So yeah, so yeah, there are some like disappointing things like oh, I won't be able to Just shop like I'll never teach them how to do makeup. We're like, we'll never be able to talk about hair Good, but no because they keep their buzz now Yeah, huh when Gus had long hair we would we could have talked about it, but now he wants to keep his hair buzzed like Calvin There's no hair to talk about You're bald. Yeah. You're bald. So. Unless we do a fade and then we can do designs. That's fine. See, I, we almost talked, I think it was Bronnie. Into doing something cool, like kind of like how, when you used to do Calvin's little mullet, like shaved mullet, you know what I'm talking about? Like 2021 ish time. Oh yeah, I forgot he did that. Him and Nick were mullet brothers. I tried to talk the kids into it, like, Hannah could do it, like we could ask her, she'll do it for you, and they were, at first they were like, yeah, and then they were like, no. Yeah. Even like a, like, even like practicing designs, like, cause I gave the boys both hearts on their hair for Valentine's Day. I was like, I didn't know I could do that. So now I'm just like, can I do some more stuff? Like, just practice it. Cause I remember kids would be like, can you put a Nike swoosh in my head? And I'm like, can't do it. Get a line. Yeah. I just don't want to fuck up their hair because they're paying like 20 something dollars for a Nike thing, that's like very messed up, you're gonna know. This girl, this co worker that she used to work with me, she did the perfect Nike sign. I was like, girl, that is sharp. That's practice, you just gotta practice. You know, but I'm not going to practice on an actual paying customer. And Nick's hair. Practice on your dog. Ew. Oh, okay. All right. That could be animal abuse. Don't do that. Yes. So yeah, there'll be some things we might miss out on. Yeah, my mom's yeah, it's just what it is. Oh My gosh, that's really cute. I love it. I'm showing them my shirt boys. Is it boys mom or boy? Mom, it's like this is lightning. Yeah, silly. Yeah a CD favorite shirt that I wear Does he like a CDC? Thank you. Can we get a picture of that for our Instagram? Yeah, Kalissa just doing exactly that. Like a boob shot quick. Yeah. Oh, fun. So, yeah, I'm excited to see all the prom, all the prom people that are out. Because when we go out to eat, I'm like, why is there a bunch of like, people in dresses? What is it? What season is this that we're in right now? Yep. Oh, it's a homecoming. And then there are other cities who that have like winter formal and I'm like, what are, what's happening? Like we're, we're in, in December. Like, why are you so dressed up? So yeah, there's other cities. My hometown, they didn't want everyone to go like, go all out. Cause they were like, Oh no, that's a lot of money for kids. Like we don't want to. So our winter formal was like, wear crazy socks, have a sock party. Cause they didn't want kids to go out and buy limos, party buses. Yeah. Them to save that for prom. Yeah, so like all our dances were just kind of like very casual I was talking to my mom about this Must maybe it must have been older cuz I've never been to a homecoming but when now when we see homecoming people out She would always be like, you know when I was in school homecoming was like it was all about the football game So afterwards everyone would just go in there like yeah jeans and their sweatshirts. Yeah, they're like school merch Oh, and then girls got to wear a jersey. Yeah Did you want a jersey too? So bad. Me too. Oh, I wanted a footballer to just Be like, Hey, girl, none of the, I'm going to wear this for me. And I would have dollars in my school were like very impressive. So not only were they not skilled, but they also just like, weren't that. Good looking. Okay. It just wasn't like what I was attracted to. It wouldn't have mattered. I would've taken the ugliest person on the team's jersey. If I could wear a jersey. Yeah, but then I was afraid it wouldn't fit me and that would be embarrassing. Oh, Kalissa. Yeah, I would always get jealous when a girl would wear her boyfriend's jersey. Like on Fridays, you know, she's wearing the jersey. We're repping his name. Yeah, and I'm like really you guys we are on such different Okay, but how many did you have in your graduating class? like 350 or something maybe yeah, 44. Oh like 80 But what is that what does that have to do with anything you're just you're with those people like you're just A small little pond and we see everything. You know, what's crazy my senior year We had what was called a senior hallway So every year your locker would get moved and when you're a senior you your locker would be in the senior hallway And the first day of senior year when i'm like walking down the senior hallway to my locker for the first time I'm like walking by these kids. I'm like, oh my gosh I've never seen these people before in my life. Like I do not know these people. Who are you like? There's people who I've literally been to school with for however many years, and you don't know them, and I have no idea who they are. And I didn't know if that was a me thing because I just like, didn't care. I never knew that was a thing either cause like, uh, high school reunions, they'd be like wearing name tags and I'm like, I know that person. Yeah. You would never have to wear a name tag. Oh yeah. No. There were people who I'm like, I have never seen you before. Sarah. Oh my gosh. I know. And again, I don't know if that was a me thing or if that was a school of like 300 plus. Yeah. So. In one grade. In, yeah, in my senior class. Isn't that insane? And there were people in my class who didn't graduate, so I think our class was closer to 400 actually, but just, like, graduating I think it was like 350 or something. Oh my gosh, there was no one who didn't graduate. Oh. We had a lot of people who didn't graduate. Oh. That's too bad. Yeah. Hmm, Hmm. I knew everybody knew all their names, knew their parents, knew everything about'em. Yeah. Sometimes Calvin, and since kindergarten, sometimes Calvin will talk about certain people, people like, because he'll find out someone, someone's doing something and he'll be like, oh, do you remember so and so they're doing this? And I'm like, it's like, I have never heard of you. And Nick like, I dunno, was like, I even like knew Nick's school too. I don't even go to Nick school. Yeah. But I knew some of the kids and I'm like, oh Nick, do you remember so and so? He's like, I don't know who that person is. Yeah. And I'm like, okay. Like, I feel like you and Nick are just like, yeah, we're similar. Yes. Cause really like, honestly. Even back then I was like, I'm not going to care about this in 10, 20, 30 years. Like I just don't care. So you and Nick, the same people. Yeah. And I'm the one who planned our high school reunion. So you know what though? I do. Our person who was supposed to plan our high school reunion, who was our, um, student council president or whatever. She just totally like finked on it. She like moved across the country and just like, doesn't care. It doesn't talk to anyone and that's fine. Good for her. Whatever. But I. Like the person who ended up kind of taking over, like she didn't know a lot of people and so it was all by like word of mouth. So you'd get invited by like someone who knew you. Shit. Type of thing. Yeah. And so. But I think that's. Yeah. I think that's becoming normal in our age. Because people don't care anymore. They don't. Which like, fair. Because like. Also don't care. I didn't go to the reunion. My mom's. Like, they made, you know, they went to the parades, they made a float, they had a big ol party in the park afterward, like, it was really fun. Even my sister who graduated two years above me, they still have a Facebook group of all the people in their class, and we don't have that. And so I'm like, we do, we have about 31 of us. We have about 31 members and there's like a 44 class. Oh, that's pretty good. So maybe they don't have Facebook. That's a possibility. A lot of them, yeah. But like, I guarantee most of these people in my year have Facebook. They don't care. They don't care. And I do care, because I'm like, what are you doing with your life? I mean, I want to know, but also like, I don't want anyone to see me and how fat I am and gross now. So like, that's kind of sad. But otherwise, like Again though, I didn't have a lot of friends that I really cared about, so like. Yeah. I missed out. I was friends with like everybody. Yeah. I wasn't popular by any means. But like, I could float around friend groups. See, me too. Friend groups. I was nice to everybody, but I was, I didn't have like a group that I was friends with or anything. So, yeah, uh, our class president and the vice president, um, have made it very clear that they do not want to conversate with us peasants. Oh. They've told people specifically, like, we will not be hosting a class reunion because we don't give a shit about any of you and we don't want to talk to you. Why? Yeah. Are they like really successful? I'll call them out, yeah. I don't know, I don't talk to them. Oh, you should look and see what they're doing. So that is why I planned the classroom, because it wasn't getting planned. Oh, shoot. Because they wouldn't do it. And they don't want to associate with us peasants. Okay. Wow. So we did plan one. I think we had maybe a third of us showed up. Like 10 people. Oh, you know what? Like 15. Was this last year two years ago? Yeah, cuz I remember you going to this. Okay. Okay, great. Yeah, great. I mean didn't you do karaoke or something? I know. It's so fun. No. What'd you do? We went out to eat at one of my classmates parents restaurants. Nice. And then we went next door to the bar. So it wasn't anything crazy, but it was nice to see everybody and it was Craig's birthday. That was karaoke. Yes. Craig's and my birthday will be karaoke. Wait, do I have an invite for that? Yes. Okay. I need to put that in my account. Calissa's karaoke. Yes. KK. I'm gonna start practicing and sing a triple song, a triplet. A triplet? A triplet. What's, does Hannah sing? I'll sing. She can dance for us. She can do an interpretive dance. Sexy. I love it. I love it. Oh, funny. Gotta be something. I don't know if she'd like it because. Remember when we went to Nicki Minaj, me and Kalissa were singing in the car and Hannah was just like, Guys, we're singing like Natasha Bedingfield. I hate her. Yeah, but it was just like the station. Whatever was on the station. 2000s pop. We were vibing. 2000s pop. But I couldn't stand a lot of that music, so I just, I had to be a dance. You went past some really good songs and I was upset at you about it. I know. Pass, pass, pass. I was like, go back, go back. I know. I was like, wait, that's a good one. Pass, pass, pass. Terrible. It's got to have a good dance for them for me. So I can dance. Oh, I don't need that. I just need it to have words so I can say, Oh yeah. Funny. That's why I don't get like EDM music. I don't understand it. What do you do when you listen to this? You just listen. I love this part. Like what part man? The drop. You got to wait for the drop. But then what? That's like literally a millisecond of the song. And then what? You, what do you do after that? To dance. I don't know. I'm with you. But nobody who's listening to music, like, you're not listening to music to dance to it. I am. When you're cleaning your house and you have your, really? I'm like shaking my butt and everything and like Cash will come up behind me and just like do the same thing. Oh. To shake his butt. Oh. But I have to kind of watch what I'm listening to now because Cutter's starting to pick up on some. Yeah. Um, cause there's a song, I think it's titled Do My Dance. And it's, um, the lyrics, it's like, do my dance on your dick. Oh, you love this shit. Do my dance on it. And I was, you know, just vibing with it in the car. And then Cutter's like, do my dance. And I'm like, it's do my dance in Montreal. Oh yeah. Make enough words for him. And I'm like, Nick, listen to what he's trying to sing and Nick's like, Hannah, you can't listen to that anymore. I'm like, I know. Not good. Not good. So, yeah. Every once in a while there's a swear or something in one of my songs and I'm like, they didn't hear. Did they hear? Yeah. I'm like, I don't know. So. Yeah, gotta be a little careful. We're just listening to the Trolls soundtrack. So I like listening to it because it's in sync and same too. We like to listen to that soundtrack. Yes Because Ganon likes bad blood And Lover. Lover and Sing To? Oh, so he's a T Swift fan, just like his mommy. That's on Sing To? No, Lover isn't. Oh, okay. I was like, I listen to that soundtrack too. I gotta be honest with you, I really did try to listen to her songs and like them. I got all of her albums, and I did try to go through and listen, and I just don't like them. I just thought it was bad. Even her early country, I remember her early country. I think I kept maybe Juliet or whatever that song is. Juliet or whatever that song is. What is that song called? Romeo and Juliet. Oh my god, I have not heard that song in a minute. I think I did keep that one. How does that go? One other one or something. It's a love story, baby, just say yes. I remember it vaguely. Oh my gosh, how do you not know every single word? There we go. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess. It's a love story, baby, just say yes. That was supposed to be Calissa's part. Yes. I'm just like in awe that like that's not like automatic. Like I could like rehearse the entire song like the back of my hand. Oh no. When she came out I was a big fan. Yeah. Oh my gosh that one where she's in the window. With Taylor Lautner. You're on the phone. Yes, love that song. With your girlfriend, she's upset. Love that song. Don't know about something that she said. No, teardrops on my guitar. Oh, that's a good one too. I wanted to lean against the window as it was raining. Yes, yes, just like in that picture and then she's got her guitar. See for me that was. Who looks at me? I fake a smile so he won't see. I love that Hilary Duff song. Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams. Let it wash away the sanity. Cause I wanna feel the thunder. I wanna scream. Let the rain fall down. I'm coming clean. I'm coming clean. That's the next part! You know what, that should be our karaoke. Is Hilary Duff. Yes. Early Taylor Swift. Yup. I need the lyrics because I can't remember the lyrics very well. Should I, Antoine? Oh. I'm not doing that one song. I will do that song. That one time. I will not do that song. that song in your basement. With your cousin. I was ready for that. What song? I don't know what song it was. I can't recall. But it was me and you and Marie. It was like, and maybe Holly was there and we were singing it in the basement and I was just going hard. And I felt bad'cause that was really loud, but I just love to sing karaoke. Mm. But I, I don't like that song. Oh, shouldn't I? Because it's over. Oh, the Girls. Let's go Girls. It doesn't have to be that one. It can be, I don't think that's the one that we were singing. It was a different one. I'm going, who's bad? Have your Boots been? Maybe it was that one. It might have been that one. We're gonna have to cut this all out, just by the way. Oh gosh, no. It's all staying in. Oh, okay. We're not going to get copyrighted or whatever? No! That's if we like actually not played the song. Alright. Cool. Well, and the copyright people listen to our podcast, so. I know. We're top of the line people. You better be careful. Well, cool. Well, cool. We really should decide a song that we can all sing together. That'd be so fun. I vote Hilary Duff. Okay. Okay. Her Lizzie McGuire movie soundtrack. No, I don't know that one as well. I know, um, that album, the Come Clean album. I know that one. I had that album. Oh my gosh, I know that one song. Metamorphosis. This one, yeah. This one song where she's, this is when she got really skinny. Okay. And to the beat of my, to the beat of my, to the beat of my heart, the beat of my heart, the beat of my heart, the beat of my heart. It tears us apart. I love that song. Yes, that was unlocks a new memory inside of me. I'm going to go listen to that song. When she was in Shaking the table. The prince, not the princess movie. Um, Cinderella story. And her and her sister did Our Lips Are Sealed. Oh my gosh. Our Lips Are Sealed. And like her and Hayley are like jammed. She was so pretty in that music video. Were you guys a fan of Ali and AJ? Yes. Potential breakup song? Yes. Literally, um, like whoa. This is my potential breakup song. And then they came out like a year or two ago and they made it like more R rated. Yes. Oh. Not so Disney. They just released a new song, by the way, if you don't know that. Oh, it's about like mom stuff. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Cause we're there now. But they also have a lot of great songs like Whoa, they have a couple others that are really good. I love it. I had their album. I love it. I could see you. But going back to Taylor Swift, I did delete all the other songs. Good for you. You don't deserve it. Oh. Okay. Alright. I vote Taylor Swift, so if anyone agrees, Taylor Swift for Kalissa's karaoke. Or Hilary Dunn. Kalissa can do her karaoke by herself. Yeah. I usually do Yerselvain. I don't know if I know that. You're so vain. You probably think this song is about you. You're so vain. You're so vain. You don't know that song? Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do. Okay. Okay. I know Mr. Vain, the EDM 90s. Oh, I don't know that. No. I'm not saying it. I think, I think it was night on the Roxbury that no, no, that's not the song. It's okay. It's a really good song. I'm going to just start looking through my music and it's like seeing what old songs we would maybe all know. Okay. Um, well maybe not for this episode. Okay. I'm sorry. Oh my gosh. I don't know if you guys, you definitely wouldn't have listened to them, but the hush sound, did you listen to them back in? Okay. All right. Okay. Well, I think we've exhausted this topic. I think we haven't. I could talk about music all day. Maybe we should do it for another episode. And I could sing music all day. You could have like a 2010s How about 50 Cent? Candy Shop? Take you to the candy shop. Have you seen that TikTok trend where like, this is what I look like and this is the song I was singing and it's like, Yes, we should do that. How about, um, Cause I was singing Slop on my knob. Oh, dude. I had no idea what I was singing. Oh gosh, I don't think I was singing like, dirty stuff. Check in with me. Oh. But like, my, I'll, I'll post like my Like your, my eighth grade photos, the song Braces. Yeah. I think didn't have Braces, but yeah. The worst song that I could think of would be Misery Business. But I was like in high school at that point. Oh gosh. I remember. And she only says, you know, jamming out Naughty word. So Yeah, I was jamming out to that song from the Windows. Oh true. That one walls, that was like fourth grade. Yeah. Oh. Oh. That was like middle school for me. Yeah. So, yeah, for, um. Summer. She looks so perfect. My birth, my brother's birthday.
