Welcome back to the A-List podcast with Allison and Alex.
Speaker 1:I'm Allison and I'm Alex and I'm back. Yes, I'm Allison and she's on it for majority of the show, but just wanted to give a little disclaimer and I apologize. So sorry everyone. Don't worry, enjoy the show Look who it is.
Speaker 2:Alex is back. Wow, what an exciting time for you guys to be back. Back, again, back to make rap bitches, rap again, hey everyone, and you have such long hair.
Speaker 1:Guys yeah, Last time you saw me I think I had a perm one and you have such long hair guys.
Speaker 2:Yeah, last time you saw me, I think I had a perm. Well, do you still have the perm? Is it fully gone yet?
Speaker 1:no, there's like an inch of it that like curls back up um what a crazy time but I do everything I can to keep it from curling and also I try my best not to put a ton of heat on it. But I'm like who cares?
Speaker 2:I will damage the ends to not have yeah, I mean, I assume whenever you get a little trim, they'll just be, it'll be better every time.
Speaker 1:But here's the thing you guys see, my hair is up. That's been the goal, so I'm continuing on this hair length journey that's how your hair was when I met you. I'm gonna wrap stan, it was actually a little shorter than this, if you can believe it I can't believe it I could do space buns again, for sure, right now my gosh cute.
Speaker 2:You should wear the exact same outfit next time that you met me.
Speaker 1:It's so funny that you say that, because literally right before christmas I was getting rid of a bunch of stuff and I had already cropped that t-shirt oh yeah, and I was like do I keep for the mems? I was like no, it's peeling off. It was a really poor design and the shirt was pink and had flowers and it said special is what you are Right. Where'd you get that from, sheen?
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:Anyway.
Speaker 2:How do you feel about people calling or pronouncing it Sheen?
Speaker 1:I don't know that. I've ever heard it pronounced that way.
Speaker 2:I feel like people in Indiana do that. Do you get on Sheen? Yeah, I got it on Sheen.
Speaker 1:No shade, I'm okay with it. To each their own.
Speaker 2:Sure, it's hard for me though.
Speaker 1:Sheen yeah, because I'm just so used to Sheen. There's another brand name that I have been saying wrong. It just left me, but it's the whole Bakery, bakery, bakery.
Speaker 2:Which I still don't know, but it is B-A-H right, so it's Bakery. On the back of their shirts.
Speaker 1:Correct, yeah.
Speaker 2:You guys, this is a restaurant in LA that has a bunch of locations and we love it so much, but we can never figure out what it's called. And someone told us once, but I have since forgotten.
Speaker 1:It's not Bakery, because that's what I called it for years. Yes, it's Bakery, bakery.
Speaker 2:Because, bakery, bakery, because, I do think on the back of their shirts it says B-A-H and then like a dot and then C-A-R.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:But it's still hard for me because I say Bakery.
Speaker 1:Also, though, the food is bomb.
Speaker 2:Delicious. Yeah, if you're here, you guys should go there. Absolutely go there. We should give like a restaurant. Oh yeah, we should do that Tour sometime if anyone is visiting so they can go to our favorite spots.
Speaker 1:Yes, and you already know.
Speaker 2:Castaway. I was going to say Castaway is number one on the list.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Especially for visitors Like it's fun to go to as a resident, but it's a great spot. Anyone I've taken there.
Speaker 2:I've taken my aunt there, my mom, like everyone's like wow this is incredible Because food is amazing and the view. You can go to brunch, you can go for dinner, it's great. Yeah, it hits all the marks.
Speaker 1:Sure does.
Speaker 2:And it's not in downtown or something like that. It's not a terrible drive.
Speaker 1:Correct and there's parking.
Speaker 2:The biggest parking lot you've ever seen.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's so great. So, before we get into pop culture and all things that, how have you been? Because, okay, guys, so we pre-recorded the last episode like. December 16th, I think. Yeah so today is January 3rd, so it's been a minute. I was gone.
Speaker 2:Yes that you were gone. I was gone. Um, wow, I am great. I'm'm exhausted. I feel like the the december time of christmas, holiday parties and white elephant things and all that and then going into new year's new year's, I would. There was two. I was at two places it was a whole thing I am exhausted of. Um, I'm exhausted of personality.
Speaker 2:It's like, yeah, it's the holiday, like having a personality like today, especially because we had uh, we started our January challenge for the fitness Marshall, and so yesterday we had a live stream and then today we had a live stream and I'm emotionally exhausted from just like being a personality or having a personality I get it.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, yeah, when I got back I got back late on the 29th because my flight just kept getting delayed in vegas um, I was like on the 30th I was like I'm fine 31st, great first. Even I was like this nice. And then on the second, I was like yeah everything hit me.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I was like oh, this is that post holiday depression.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:God, what am I doing? How do I get back into my routine?
Speaker 2:Yeah, not to be too graphic, though. Also, I'm pre a period which, so I'm also like emo. Can we just say?
Speaker 1:women do not need to do that, you do not need to say pre. Just a heads up TMI no.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I say it's fine.
Speaker 2:Okay and everyone I'm sure everyone watching agrees. Yeah, but it that's not helping my emotional state because I'm like yeah emotionally exhausted and then I'm it's, I am emotion, I have emotions, more emotions, which I already have, a lot of emotions anyway.
Speaker 1:What did you do for new year's? New year's I'm sorry, new year's Eve.
Speaker 2:New year's Eve Josh and I had. Yeah, Josh, Josh's friend group had a party, and then, uh, Caleb and Cameron had a party.
Speaker 1:So where were you when the ball dropped at caleb's okay?
Speaker 2:yeah, I think it was another like party planned by hayley that just was at caleb's place, yeah, yeah but, yes, okay, and I stayed up good for you I actually stayed up to like two hell yeah so that's awesome I that's the one time a year I was supposed to go on a date yeah, we have to get into that I was supposed to go on a date.
Speaker 1:It didn't go through, which was totally fine. Honestly, I was like cleaning my apartment, being like I don't want to do this. Well, here's the thing like you, you guys are I'll give you the update in a second, but I have just completed this like life-changing four and a half, almost five month program yeah and there was a big part of me that was like I want to sit and reflect yeah I want to set my intention, be like sit in gratitude for like what a year and then just like, hang with stanley and go to bed and the
Speaker 2:universe kind of delivered that to me it was like, oh yeah, because the date fell through.
Speaker 1:I was totally fine and I was like, okay, great, okay, great, and I was even going to go, like I had plans. I was like you know what? I haven't had Taco Bell in so long. I got a gift card for Christmas. I was like I'll get some.
Speaker 1:Taco Bell. I'll just have a me night and watch a movie I haven't seen. It's been on my journal that I forgot to go get taco bell, so I ended up just cooking a little. No, I just cooked for myself. Wow and um watched a movie that I hadn't seen, sat in reflection and then when the ball dropped, I wasn't watching a countdown, I was just a clock, yeah. And then when it hit midnight, I just like closed my eyes and like just prayed okay and I was like I needed this.
Speaker 1:This needed to be the cap to the year for me yeah, um sex would. Sex would have been great, but that's fine.
Speaker 2:It's fine Stanley freaking out because of the fireworks. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So that's the thing is. I was like we were in bed by like 1230, just like had something on. This little guy was jumping off the bed trying to hide in the closet. It was like no, we don't go in there and then I. What I did is I built him so you know he sleeps like between my pillows. I pulled, I stacked a bunch of pillows to my left and then put the covers over it, so created like a tent, like a cave with an opening yeah and then I pushed him into it because you know he doesn't sleep under covers normally right he's.
Speaker 1:I don't know why he it's like perfect. He's the perfect dog for that look at this yeah so I pushed him under there and he poked his little head out and then realized what it was finally like, curled up with his head poking out yeah, but just shaking like a leaf.
Speaker 2:It's the worst. July 4th and new year's, it's just no and that's so this did not happen.
Speaker 1:Over the fourth, the fireworks were so close that this whole back uh area, like this common area that's right here, filled with smoke. They were shooting them off in the street right back there yeah so, so loud and so annoying isn't it illegal here? Yes, great. Thankfully though, they stopped by like 3 am fourth of july.
Speaker 2:I feel like they were going until 3. Am doing that. I can see right at midnight yeah and then, like we're done, by 12 30 also.
Speaker 1:Where are the police?
Speaker 2:right, this is a very residential area filled with smoke, like whatever, anyway, so that was my New Year's and that happens and they start a big forest fire and we all have to evacuate and it's like a whole thing, yep.
Speaker 1:So that was my New Year's, and it was ended up being exactly what I needed it to be, so I'm grateful for that.
Speaker 2:Good. Do you want to tell the people your current life? Yeah, so those?
Speaker 1:of you that have been following along, dear listeners and viewers, know that I haven't been on camera and for those of you that didn't realize it but continued to comment, where's the guy?
Speaker 2:yeah, they were like. You're now wondering what are you talking? Why can't I see him?
Speaker 1:um, so brief recap. I had a monumentally, I had a pretty big breakdown earlier in the year and I had leading up to that, I would say, for maybe like a year before that. I had been making some significant changes in my life, cutting people out of my life, changing the way that I approach situations Allison knows this because she's been along for the journey and then I went through a breakup. That kind of was the last straw for me as far as, like, having to face all these things I've kind of been avoidant to, and then had a really big breakdown. That timed perfectly, with someone reaching out to me and being like look, I think you should, you know you should look into this program. It changed my life and I think that it could really help you. I was like I don't know, I don't know, it was kind of expensive. I ended up working out, um, an arrangement with the creator of the program and everything just aligned. Now, guys, I will tell you that things aligned in a way that was like weird.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like I was very unsure. I'm not a super superstitious, not a super superstitious person.
Speaker 1:Super superstitious, but I do believe in signs and whatnot, and I believe that if you ask the universe or God, that if you're really like open to what the answer is, you can find that answer in someone or something. And so I was on the fence, and Allison knows this. But I basically like long. Okay, I'm going to wrap this up. I went. I was like I'm going to buy a lottery ticket. I'm not expecting this to be a million dollar lottery ticket, I just need it to have any amount of money on it and I will take that as my universal sign. God is telling me move forward with this program. Yeah, the lottery ticket was a winner, a big winner. It was like, oh, the most I've ever won in a lottery ticket. That was like I was like well, I can't ignore this. This is pretty obvious.
Speaker 1:And then so began the most challenging four months of my life. It got really dark at first. I'll be really honest and say that it got so dark to the point that my small but loving group of friends that I had complete trust in swooped in and saved my life, because it was really rocky. This program really broke me down in a good way. It got all of my things. I had suppressed, all of the things that I had been avoiding brought to the surface and then was given the tools and the therapy and the training to work through them and be able to like come out a better me, and I can say with like absolute confidence that I am a completely changed person.
Speaker 1:The way I think about things is different. The anger and sadness that I had been harboring towards past relationships or people that had quote wronged me, I was able to release. Now I'm human and these things are like. Emotions are going to come and they're going to go, but the difference is now I know how to handle them and how to stop being a people pleaser. And I want to say in all of this that I don't like to do resolutions like we had talked about on last episode. Um, we, I like to set intentions, and 2024 is intention was boundary, stronger than my empathy, and I truly like was willing to learn that lesson, because I had experienced so much hurt in 2023 from people that I thought had my best interest at heart and cared about me in a way that I cared about them.
Speaker 1:And then the universe was like great, you got it and so I really learned that lesson, and you know, this program also was like no substances, no sex, no dating, really really like isolating, keep your circle small of which I had already done, and I really didn't. I followed this program as, like I was like well, first of all, I'm a people pleaser, so like I'm going to be the best student ever.
Speaker 2:You were like I am.
Speaker 1:I am going to crush this program and I cannot even tell you how much I've never cried so much in my life, like it was four months of happy tears, incredibly sad tears, tears of real like having, like realizing things and being like, oh my God, this finally makes sense, and I just want to show the biggest takeaway I have, and the thing that I would love to share is that the, although it gave me a lot of confidence, I feel like I'm myself again. I'm becoming confident. The back back to my old confidence self. Um, the biggest thing it taught me is so I have always been a people person. I've always been empathetic towards humans. I've always loved people very unconditionally and trusted them, which is like a big. You don't have to do that, you can. You can have boundaries and still be nice. Uh, but the takeaway that I got from it you can have boundaries and still be nice, but the takeaway that I got from it.
Speaker 1:The biggest thing was that it taught me how to really have grace for people and the way they act in situations towards me and others, and the way that they just are Really truly understanding and accepting that everyone has their own baggage and their own shit and everyone, even though you think they may be an idiot or they're being awful or treating people terribly, they are actually doing the best that they can with the tools that they have. And just because I may be in a different place and not like the way that someone is handling something, they aren't necessarily doing it deliberately. They truly just don't know any better, and it's a fine line, though, between. This was a big thing I had to face too is initially, when these exercises were brought into play, I started to feel arrogant, like I was. We did these things whatever.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to get into all the different kinds of therapy, but there's something called clearings, where we basically like really laid out how someone really hurt us, and I was doing this with an old friend, doing this clearing about an old friend, and it lifted such a burden. But I noticed in the few days after I wasn't feeling like. The feeling shifted to me, feeling like sorry, and this person's really pathetic.
Speaker 1:I was like and then in our therapy session I was explaining this and they're like I'm glad you brought this up because that is a very fine line. It is very easy to go from having true empathy and like, wow, I love you and I we aren't meant to be friends anymore.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You just you know we're at two different levels, but, like, I hope you do well and wow, you're really pathetic.
Speaker 2:Now.
Speaker 1:I get it and I was like, fuck, I don't ever want to be that. So thankfully we nipped that quickly and I was able to, like, find an actual thought process to not feel that way towards anyone. But that is great, like that is what I. My biggest takeaway is like, if you can, if you're able to step back in a situation, especially with people, where you feel heightened emotions or hurt, and just look like especially, this is a big one with parents, people that have trauma with their parents and be able to be like, wow, they did the best they could with what they knew how to do. Should they have had kids? Probably not. Should they have treated me that way? Definitely not.
Speaker 2:But they didn't know any better.
Speaker 1:And that gave me so much peace and has been the biggest takeaway that I've now noticed as part of my pattern of thinking. Now, with people, Even in traffic, I was like driving and this person cut me off and then flipped me off and I was like, of course, normal human behavior. Initially I was like are you fucking?
Speaker 1:kidding me and then I took a second. I was like, of course, normal human behavior. Initially I was like are you fucking kidding me? And then I took a second. I was like they are probably having an awful day. They don't know me, they're not even going to think about me a second later, but it felt good for them to flip me off because of whatever they're going through.
Speaker 2:Thank God, I'm not going through whatever they're going through and I let it go. It is like that is where it goes.
Speaker 1:You go to like okay. Well, you know, and I know that that person is never going to feel fully fulfilled and happy. If their default is to just be an asshole.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:At the end of a life, being an asshole is never going to feel good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sometimes I flip people off, though, of course flip people off, though, of course, and I have to it's. That's the and again. The point of this program is not hey guys, here's Alison.
Speaker 1:This is absolutely insane. It feels like sabotage, Like I was like no, it's my turn to be on camera.
Speaker 2:That's fine, I'm here now to wrap this up.
Speaker 1:I am a changed man and I came out of this and went balls to the wall. No, but I do want to say I want to give a special shout out. Look, I'm going to post something like this on Instagram, but this, um, this is. I'm going to direct this to the camera, but I was thinking over my 2024. I was thinking about all of the lessons I learned, the hardships I went through, the ups, the downs, the love, the profound sadness, loss, heartbreak, all of it and there was one thing that I feel like really stood out to me when I was like writing all this out is women. The women in my life literally carried me through 2024. I have always surrounded myself with strong women. It's always been my default, but truly don't know how anyone survives without having like a group of strong women around them. Allison literally.
Speaker 2:Oh, that wasn't to me, that was just to women.
Speaker 1:No Allison literally carried my ass. I would not have survived September and October without Alison, like these women that have that unconditionally love me and support me, and so I really dedicate my 2024 to the women in my life.
Speaker 2:Wow. That includes you, very proud to be a part of that. You do have a lot of really good female yeah.
Speaker 1:And I was like I've always known that, like I've always have, sometimes I haven't, I haven't chosen the right women to be around me, but at the end of the day, it's like I'm always gonna have like a strong group of women around me, because women are the shit yeah and that's that, and that's it period work, put that on a t-shirt so I also decided, like in this program you know it helps with a lot of things like career clarity and mental clarity, but also love and alex, your boy, alex here, has loved so hard to not the right relationships.
Speaker 1:Um, you know, you guys know I was in a really long, nine year relationship with someone who I mean that also was huge for me to release a lot of that because we, I needed to go through that, we had only each other and as sad as that was and how much I wished at the time it had worked out. It was never going to work out, but it was supposed to happen for when it happened. And then my last relationship, such a great guy, but we were just unaligned. But I, being the commitment freak I am, was like to the death.
Speaker 2:Very committed.
Speaker 1:Yeah, very committed. I don't give up on people or situations, ever. I'm an Aquarius and let me just say something about Aquarius. Look, I'm into the astrology shit. But one thing about Aquarius we know what's up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we know what's up, yeah.
Speaker 1:We know what's up, but just like intuitive intuitive.
Speaker 2:Are you intuitive to like spiritless spirits? Because yes. I was told that Pisces are also, so Pisces are, Pisces are.
Speaker 1:Pisces are like we're together, we're, we're like the signs right after each other. But we know and the thing about an aquarius is that we're also stubborn as fuck- yeah, so it's like you can either use your aquarian power, with that knowing to, to go the direction that's like yeah, or, in my case, so more often than not, it's like I know I'm gonna ignore that for sure that's not happening anymore, so nice.
Speaker 1:I uh am happy to report that I've really put myself out there, you guys. I have met some amazing guys and you went zero to 100 zero to 100 and 3.5, because I was like look, I have never really dated yeah and I'm very curious what's out there, and I just want to talk to people and be like what's up?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're like doing the like actual definition. Well, you're speed dating, but just the definition of casual dating, like you're just like correct. You know, going on a coffee date like meeting people.
Speaker 1:And you're just like. I'm literally just like I want to see, like I have another day later, like let's, yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm doing it with intention. I am like, if the conversation's going well, I want to meet quickly to see if there's like a vibe in person um and I am it's been really it's been fun.
Speaker 2:I feel like a lot of people do. That wasn't ever my experience, but a lot of people do like do that and are cool to be. I was never able to date a bunch of people at once because I get feelings too fast and then I feel bad about it.
Speaker 1:Yes, Well, Alison, that is the whole thing right, Cause I'm the same way.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So for me it was like take these things I've learned.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Hold to my boundary.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Do not propose to the first guy that says you're so fucking hot and then wants to make out with me like that yeah, um, but no in all. In all honesty, it is like it's important that I do this because I haven't and not because I need to go through a quote.
Speaker 2:Slutty phase no, you're definitely not being slutty. You're literally just meeting people.
Speaker 1:Put these things into practice and like because I'm so confident in who I am, now it's mine is recording right.
Speaker 2:There is red, yes.
Speaker 1:Perfect, because I am in this new mindset. I need to prove it to myself that I can actually honor the boundaries that I've set for myself. Getting to know someone if the conversation is good, like that's hot to me.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then intellectual, not letting my mind run away with, and then we'll get married in the woods. Yes, and we'll buy a house and big bear and we'll have six bedrooms, so all my friends can live there 12 kids and I'm just going to say kittens at first no no.
Speaker 1:So anyway, for those of you, for everyone that was has sent me dms and wished me good luck, thank you so much. Um, the last part that that was really big for me is I finally, for the first time, feel excited about my career future and, as you know, allison, and that that was a big one for me I went through a lot of career heartbreak in 2023 into 2024, where I lost relationships with people I thought that you know would be, would help expand my career, and then realize that their motivation was very different from mine and then actually lost friendships with people because, you know, I put a boundary up to the way I was being treated in a work situation. So yeah.
Speaker 1:I really, like law, fell out of love with everything that I was good at and liked, and then this program ignited me into the direction that I'm like. Oh, of course it's always been this. Yeah, more on that later. And anyway, thank you for listening to all of that. I am feeling amazing. Um, there are going to be some changes. Like, I am going to move, I'm not going to be staying in this apartment much longer, which I may have mentioned in an earlier episode, but TBD on where? But the podcast will continue, it just will be a different setup.
Speaker 1:So that's me, guys, and I'm happy to be back on camera and excited for all the shenanigans that we have for you this year. Also, you may have noticed our new intro card.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we had a cute photo shoot. We took lots of photos. I actually need to share photos now well, I've sent you the edited ones.
Speaker 1:Oh, so, once then I won't be doing that, and because I not. He's better at editing than well, once you see the uh, the cut down and card guys that I made, that's gonna be on socials it's so funny. I sent it to allison and she loved it and I was like, okay, great it's. I've changed a little bit and it's getting. It'll be polished up and ready to go. But it's like the whole. Can you guess what the inspiration for it was just by watching it? Do you remember it?
Speaker 2:I mean, I haven't seen it in like a week so so I was like I don't think it's me living out my.
Speaker 1:Hey, it's. I'm Hilary Duff from Lizzie McGuire and you're watching.
Speaker 2:Disney Channel. It's that very that. Yeah, yeah, um, yes, I'm excited. Doubt from Lizzie McGuire and you're watching Disney channel. It's that very that. Yeah, yeah, um, yes, I'm excited for you all to see all of the new artwork and stuff.
Speaker 1:Yep Our new photos.
Speaker 2:I do have to update everyone on my sourdough, you guys journey.
Speaker 1:Crazy. So you know, in the like it was the episode before the Allison was doing a.
Speaker 2:I was so excited about this. I was like you guys, I am going to make sourdough. I've been making butter. It's so easy. I'm like obsessed with making butter and I. The next step, obviously, is sourdough, and I watched.
Speaker 1:I told you guys.
Speaker 2:I watched a few TikToks where people were like it's really so easy, like you just do this. And the starter, like in 2020, when people were making sourdough it seemed so hard to me and so scientific and side note, it is. And but these TikToks I saw it was like this is sourdough stripped down. It's so easy. And everyone who's explaining all the things like don't listen to them. Here's the easy things to do and to make the starter it's just you need flour and you need water and then feeding it, which no one explained to me in 2020, was just adding more flour and water and I was like, oh, okay, I thought I was like I had to get seeds.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, Like I don't know.
Speaker 2:Feeding it sounded crazy.
Speaker 1:I mean sourdough starter kit sounds like it's a list of things.
Speaker 2:Yes, I thought it was. I'm, there's chemistry happening. It is chemistry, but I I didn't know. It was just flour and water and basically, like I said before you, just every day you like discard half of it and then you put new flour and water and whatever, and it rises. Yeah, I the first couple days, like it rose a little bit and I was like, okay, this is fine, like I'm a little bit, and I was like, okay, this is fine, like I'm doing the thing. And then day four happens oh hell, and I did. I fed it earlier in the day. I didn't have huge jars, but because I wasn't, I was just starting, I was like I'm fine, I had a big Mason jar, but it wasn't like a huge, huge. I was like this has to be fine, there's like no reason that it's not fine. Yeah, I feed it earlier today and it's starting to not smell good, which I knew was a thing, like it starts to smell like death in the middle of the fermentation process, and then it's not like beer.
Speaker 2:Well, no, it actually just smelled like vomit at the time I was doing it, but then you transition into where it just smells like sourdough for a while. So I think it like gets worse before it gets better is what I heard.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And so I'm like, okay, it smells really bad, but I'm just going to power through and I left for the evening. Okay, but I'm just going to power through and I left for the evening. Okay, I was gone until like midnight and I was so tired.
Speaker 1:I was so tired and I probably weren't even thinking about the sourdough starter.
Speaker 2:No, because it was it had been fine for every day. Yeah, I had a little uh bit of paper towel on top with a rubber band which you're supposed to do Like you need to cover it with a rubber band which you're supposed to do Like you need to cover it, but it needs to be able to breathe and paper towel is breathable. Okay, I don't have cheesecloth, but paper towel was fine. Per TikTok I would think so.
Speaker 2:And I come, I walk in the door and it smells my apartment smells so bad and I was like, okay, that's kind of crazy, but whatever, I walk in and there is sourdough starter all over my counter top.
Speaker 1:There is flour and water all over your countertop.
Speaker 2:Sticky flour and water.
Speaker 1:I wish you had a camera.
Speaker 2:I wish there was a camera too, because I, you know, walk further and it is all down in between my oven and the counter like the little opening. It is just everywhere and I just am like it's midnight but I have to clean this up right now. Yeah, I pull my oven all the way out. I like climb back behind. I'm cleaning it up, I'm gagging the whole time because it smells so bad.
Speaker 2:It smells like the worst thing I've ever smelled in my life. It took so long to clean it the cracks of everything yeah, I couldn't believe it and I just like looked at it and I was like I can't do this and I just threw it away. So, um, I'm not making sourdough. I will go to the bakery and I will buy myself a beautiful loaf and I will put my homemade butter on it, because butter does not bring me horrifying smells and it is way easier. No.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, thank God. What's the lesson here?
Speaker 2:Um. What is the lesson? The lesson is sourdough starter for everyone it's not for everyone, and I'm actually happy that I don't have to worry about that every day yeah, now you know yeah now you know I would make a bread that's like easy, where you just put the, put the yeast in and you like you just make it in one yes couple hour period different and I don't have to do something every day for the rest of my life, forever, never.
Speaker 2:There are some sourdough starters that are hundreds of years old, so that means someone has kept that going on generations and it hasn't exploded all over their kitchen I don't want to eat that it's probably good, honestly 100 year old sourdough yeah, it's a starter because again, it's like new flour every time.
Speaker 2:Sure, you're cycling through, there's not 100-year-old flour still in there. You think I don't know, I don't know. But that's my sourdough update and thank you all for being on that journey with me. What? A journey, but I am still making butter, don't worry.
Speaker 1:And I still haven't tried any.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm going to do a sweet one next. Okay, like a cinnamon sugar vibe, so I'll bring some over.
Speaker 1:I also briefly want to report. You guys were so worried for me and I know Stanley is an excellent flyer.
Speaker 2:What a cute boy.
Speaker 1:He's sleeping right now, he flew in and he flew out and he did great and I'm so proud and now I know he can travel.
Speaker 2:I am so happy, oh my God though.
Speaker 1:I think I might have killed a dog at the Las Vegas airport.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, why.
Speaker 1:I actually am like stressed about this.
Speaker 2:I think I would have heard about it. Well, yeah, did Stanley bark at him?
Speaker 1:No, oh, Listen, there's a pet relief area in. Lax. Nope, there's a pet relief area in Vegas.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1:Everywhere, but I, but I was in vegas disgusting stanley wouldn't go. He was like I'm not getting this carrier really, really bad but I was in there trying to get him to go and this little three-legged dog comes in oh recently three-legged and the his owner was, I don't know, the recently, oh like you know how?
Speaker 1:some are just dogs that have three legs, their whole lives cut off. It was amputated recently and his owner, she was like he was freaking out, she's like, oh my god, I'm so stressed. I was like what's, what's going on. She was like he's just so anxious and I normally have him drugged but I forgot them and I was like oh, you gave, you gave drugs I was like what kind of drugs um, she was like trazodone is.
Speaker 1:I was like what kind of drugs? She was like trazodone. I was like, oh well, I have trazodone for him. They're 25 milligrams.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And they're about the same size, these dogs. I was like, how much does he weigh? I don't remember the weight, but my answer to her was okay, well, my dog's the same weight, yeah, or around the same weight and she was like, oh, this would it, 100% would happen to you.
Speaker 1:So I go and I'm looking at his pill bottle and I was like right, but I give Stanley 25 milligrams, right, okay, so I give her a full pill. And I was like here's 25 milligrams, um. And she was like oh, that's perfect, that's the dosage.
Speaker 2:I give him 0.25.
Speaker 1:Yeah, is a pill in half, so I gave her a 50 milligram tablet. Oh no, and I was like I got all the way to my gate and then it hit me and it was like that I run back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm like we went opposite directions.
Speaker 1:Vegas airport's huge, you guys. Yeah, I'm running all over the place, I'm looking for her everywhere. I don't see her anywhere. And then I remembered Right before she walked away. She was like I'll probably start out with half just to see how he does. And I was like, dear Jesus. Please let her have given him half. I looked it up the maximum dosage you can give a dog that's like Stanley's weight Is 48 milligrams, so it's not that far off yeah, if she were to give him the whole pill yeah but you know, literally every night I go to bed thinking did I kill this dog?
Speaker 2:yeah, maybe you should look on reddit or something oh, I looked on tiktok to see if this was like.
Speaker 1:This guy gave me this and my dog died she was with her daughter, who was, like seemed, in her early twenties. So it was more like did the daughter do it? Did the daughter make a video about me killing their dog?
Speaker 2:You haven't seen anything, no, nothing. What if we make a clip of this? If I get listen no, I'm actually so sorry If you were in the Vegas airport and I gave you a trastone and your dog passed.
Speaker 1:Sorry if you were in the Vegas airport and I gave you a trazone and your dog passed. Please know that it was not my intention. I was also very stressed because of my dog and he wouldn't pee, and I was reading the bottle for Stanley's dosage but forgot that it was. The dosage was a pill broken in half. Oh my god, did I kill a dog?
Speaker 2:you did not kill a dog. We probably shouldn't clip that, because I feel like you might get cooked well then it's so, be it.
Speaker 1:So off with my head, because that I was trying to do a good deed, and no good deed goes unpunished, and with that we go to our wicked corner oh my god, wow, yeah, I saw wicked the touring company last night oh you just went to see the movie when you yes, but you seen it yet.
Speaker 2:The movie with you oh this is classic friends with allison yeah, I don't remember anything. I it's actually.
Speaker 1:I'm actually like dory, I feel like totally, it's short-term memory when you said, oh, that's the night we're going to wicked, I was like, oh good, you're getting, you're giving the movie a second chance because you got to see it twice.
Speaker 2:I might, but now I'm wicked it out.
Speaker 1:But so we saw it together we obviously know the whole thing, but when you watch it again, knowing all the easter eggs and like the things that happen way more stands out to you. Okay, also watching wicked, with so many people who have never seen the musical don't know anything about it yeah and which they first of all. They had the same feeling as josh, like why are they so mad at the animals?
Speaker 1:yeah but being able to like explain all of the plot that comes in later we agree with karina had never seen wicked well, she's going to see it at pantages tomorrow oh yeah but she had never seen it and ray had never seen it okay and I wrote so.
Speaker 2:There's lots of questions after yeah, like yeah, why are they so mad?
Speaker 1:I didn't know it was a part one either when the credits came on it was wicked.
Speaker 2:Oh no, she already doesn't like music. Yeah, she's like part one.
Speaker 1:No, she bawled like a baby. She loved it so much, oh, really, yeah good but then I was like do you guys want to know? Like oh, you told them and I was like I was like you don't have to know, but karina is about to see the musical yeah, she's gonna find out um, and I was like, okay, well so, and so is this.
Speaker 2:Like the gasps, I love telling people about wicked oh, I'm excited that they all the connections between like who becomes what and what is who?
Speaker 1:and anyway, yeah okay, you saw it at pantages, the touring company. How was?
Speaker 2:it. Yes, it was. I mean, obviously the show is very good. Yeah, I what I just didn't love the voices of the leads both all. I feel bad about it.
Speaker 1:You guys, if you're listening, I'm sorry were they weak or were they just like weird tones?
Speaker 2:I just think they sounded tired, which is very fair. You're on a tour and you it's hard, so I don't hold it against it at all, but they turned it out the second half. I was like like Josh, I feel like they went back there and they were like I need hot tea, stat and like how was Defying Gravity?
Speaker 2:The it was. The ending note was fine. Um, I think the Elphaba sounded the best in as Long as You're Mine and no Good Deed Like she really like turned it out. Uh, Glinda was. There's like three glindas on this tour. It was like the playbill was like glinda. Uh, this person, these dates glinda two these dates glinda three these days.
Speaker 1:So you didn't have an understudy, you just had one of those glindas.
Speaker 2:Yes, got it there were still understudies, I think, but I don't know, it was weird, your show.
Speaker 1:You saw one of the cast, glenda's.
Speaker 2:Correct and her comedic timing was really funny. She played it a lot like Kristen Chenoweth. Uh, josh was like oh, I really liked the way he was like obviously Ariana is so good, but he enjoyed this girl's acting.
Speaker 1:And I was like she's playing.
Speaker 2:She's playing it very much, so it was just yeah, it just felt it's also so hard to come off of Cynthia and Ariana and having people there were people around me that I could tell that were seeing it for the show for the first time or like the theater production and cause they were reacting to things that I don't react. I've seen it so many times, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And um, but it was, was, it was very good, like they are obviously good, like they're on a broadway tour. I'm not right, I'm not judging that at all. It just I felt I felt like their voices were a little tired in the first act but they like the second act singing wise, I thought, was like so good, pretty good.
Speaker 1:What did josh think?
Speaker 2:he liked it better than the movie, but he feels like the second act is too rushed it is rushed yeah, and I agree. Like after he said that, I was like you know what you're right how many years?
Speaker 1:it's like 10 years, right? Is that what it is the time in between time is like?
Speaker 2:I think it's like 10 years right I don't know that part, but I do agree that, um, they're just throwing everything at you in the second act, rather, and he, he was like I feel like the first act could have been a little bit shorter and they could have given us a little bit more context in the second act, because it's just like Nessa is a bitch.
Speaker 2:And the wizard is this yeah, it's just like all of a sudden, she's like crazy, yeah. And it's like, how did we get here? She was so sweet and now she's crazy. And they're like he's like they didn't have the budget for the lion, it's just a tail and the wizard, it's just. It is very condensed and I, I do agree with that.
Speaker 2:So that's why the second movie will be exciting, Cause it's it'll be so much more, yeah, because it's it'll be so much more, yeah, yeah he won't be going, he won't be seeing the second half no we'll see.
Speaker 1:He has a literal year to calm down um, but yeah, good experience.
Speaker 2:I will see the movie again.
Speaker 1:I'm a little wicked it out right now, so it might be like an at home so I saw it, we saw, I saw it like a bigger, like dolby style, and it is different.
Speaker 2:Really yes. How much longer is it playing?
Speaker 1:I don't know it's on Netflix now, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So it's one of the streaming platforms now I don't know, but it was.
Speaker 2:It's just such a good theater movie you know, yeah, I agree, especially since I don't have plans tomorrow, cynthia was flying around singing. Like it was. It was just like oh yeah, this is honestly maybe I will. I'm on a spending freeze for january, but for cynthia well, I don't have plans tomorrow and you're busy and josh is busy, so what am I to? Do I might be busy, we'll see it might be quick I have to tell you about the worst thing that has happened to me recently can I guess?
Speaker 2:yes, but you're not gonna guess.
Speaker 1:Oh, but try the worst thing recently. What would be the worst thing that could happen to you?
Speaker 2:I'm being dramatic, okay, so not pregnancy. It has to do with babies go, let me hear it a baby has appeared next door to me. Wait, I, I guess, to the. If you're looking at my door at the top of the people to the left okay which is an older man that I think maybe his granddaughter or something lives with him, because I've seen her before, didn't know she was pregnant and then, all of a sudden, it is a newborn.
Speaker 1:Sure does your bedroom wall share?
Speaker 2:yes, this baby cries 24 7 and to the point where one night I think we were like that baby cried for two hours and a newborn.
Speaker 1:I don't think you can let cry for two hours, unless they're doing that like let them cry it out parenting but that's older yeah, you're right it's a newborn like they need to eat.
Speaker 2:They need to eat. It's crying. I know, for a little bit I was like should I be saying something, but it's like not my place.
Speaker 1:I don't know anything about babies. Knock on the wall, pardon me.
Speaker 2:Can you feed your baby, but it cries 24, seven and I don't know what to do about it.
Speaker 1:Have you met it? No, I haven't seen it, so't seen no emotional connection to it no, I have not seen.
Speaker 2:I have not physically seen this baby, I just hear it. At first I thought it was a cat and I was like because it was just faint right at the beginning and I was like you know what that cat seems like, not okay, yeah. And then I realized it was a baby and now it's just part of my life, like I might as well just have a baby because it's waking me up at every hour that it's waking up.
Speaker 1:Just go knock on the door and be like I'm here to feed the baby.
Speaker 2:Literally. So that really sucks for me Are you staying at Josh's more? No no.
Speaker 1:You're not going to be run out of your house. You're not going to be run out of your house. You're not going to be run out of your house because of a baby.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Also this baby. Again, this baby appeared out of nowhere. I did not see this woman.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, the stork does deliver in the dead of night.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I wonder if it was like a I didn't know, I was pregnant situation which the that I've gone down that rabbit hole a few times are crazy. Yeah, that show was crazy that show was crazy.
Speaker 1:The teenager at the in college who was, like, had stomach cramps and went to the bathroom and then just had a baby crazy literally kill me yeah, can you? Imagine.
Speaker 2:What a fucking anyway so that's um that sucks I'm sorry thank you, that does suck another thing that is on my mind it's on my is you can buy a Birkin at Walmart.
Speaker 1:I saw this controversy.
Speaker 2:So the controversy is one thing that Walmart has made a dupe Correct. That's like 50 bucks. Birkins are like 30 grand.
Speaker 1:They can be anywhere from 30 grand to probably a couple hundred grand. I have a friend that is high up at Hermes and she was like I didn't know this but you can't just buy a burger.
Speaker 2:No, it's a wait list.
Speaker 1:And then like not only is it a wait list, but like if, if the associate like doesn't even like your vibe, like they could have what you're looking for.
Speaker 2:She's like, but if they don't, if they don't like your vibe.
Speaker 1:They can, literally they have the right to be like. No, we don't have that here.
Speaker 2:That's so funny. Do you know the story of who it's named after?
Speaker 1:No, do you.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:This is pop culture. Pay attention.
Speaker 2:Briefly, like I don't know every fact, so this is an abridged version of what I.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's a celebrity right, no, someone with.
Speaker 2:No, it's literally the man who designed the bag was sitting next to this woman, jane Birkin. Maybe she was an actress, I don't know. I think she's a regular person and he liked her bag and she. It was like she that it was worn in, she had I know people put scarves on it cause she had one one tied on it and it was like she was like this is my everyday bag and I take it everywhere. And blah, blah, blah. He based the design off of that interaction and named it after her.
Speaker 2:So that's like where the name comes from yeah, I don't know like, but she was kind of like a, you know, a free-spirited kind of lady and that's pretty cool. Yeah, to my knowledge, that's now it's at least part of this story and it's now that crazy which people are like jane would be rolling over in her grave at this or whatever, but walmart has made a dupe that looks very similar to it. Obviously the quality would be different, but looks very similar for like 50. So people are buying the walmart and like I would.
Speaker 2:Whatever I don't, I don't care about fakes. Like whatever I had a fake from when I went to the Bahamas in like eighth grade, dooney and Burke oh, yeah, that was big at the time.
Speaker 2:And I loved it. So whatever, yeah, but I typed in Walmart Birkin because I wanted to see what was available. Yeah, I wasn't going to really buy it, but I was like what's the vibe On Walmart's website? Are Birkins like real Birkins for like 30 grand? If you type in Walmart Birkin, it comes up with links for you to buy real Birkins, which I don't understand how that happens. Or they're selling theirs for 30 grand Dead ass.
Speaker 1:No, Walmart's site does put other things on it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1:But I didn't know you could buy a Birkin unless it's used.
Speaker 2:Walmartcom slash Birkin bags right now. Okay, $25,000. $31,000. This is deadasswalmartcom. I don't understand.
Speaker 1:So are these secondhand that people are selling them?
Speaker 2:it would have to be because you can't buy a birkin like that do you think they're doing like um consignment, like someone has pre-owned hermes birkin 35, 31 000 who at walmart was, like you know, we should get into consignment right, but no one, they don't advertise this. So that's just like you know. We should get into consignment, right, but no one, they don't advertise this.
Speaker 1:So that's just like you have to just happen to type in walmart if you click on it, does it say like where one of them like click on one yeah add to motherfucking card.
Speaker 2:Yeah literally, and it says one available. So this is one like, whatever this style is they have one of them.
Speaker 1:Should we see if my card goes through? If I had thirty thousand dollars no, you're not buying that if you have thirty thousand dollars. You're buying that if you have over a million millions.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you can just buy a birkin at walmartcom.
Speaker 1:so so I wonder too if they're like walmart. Knockoffs aren't going to be sold online. You would just need to go to burbank yes, because I I couldn't find it online. It goes straight to go to santa corita and just see because I saw the one that trisha got like a rainbow looking one I don't want that.
Speaker 2:I would want a neutral yeah color. The most expensive on the site. Let's see sword by price 40 000 or birkin 30, I don't know what the numbers really mean. I guess the hardware is different, but it seems that. Oh, there's a wallet Arama's wallet for $13,000. Oh, you want that one.
Speaker 1:No $40,950.
Speaker 2:It's just insane. Oh, there's one for only $11,000. Isn't that exciting. But anyway, you can buy a Birkin on Walmart.
Speaker 1:And it's not the dupe, it is a real Birkin, so get it on. Should we do a little pop culture update Just?
Speaker 2:talk about what's happening, or do you have more on your list? Um, I have one more thing, but it can be maybe something within this. What is happening?
Speaker 1:in pop culture. Well, today is January 6th, inauguration day, and that's all we're going to say about that. Wait, january 6th, inauguration day, and that's all we're gonna say about that wait is january 6th inauguration day. That's the 20th january. 6th is january, so sorry yeah the 20th right 20th, yeah, um martin luther king day. Yeah, it's the same as martin luther king day the 20th is why would they do that? I don't know icky um today's january 6. So, anyway, what has happened since we last recorded louis the luigi?
Speaker 2:oh yeah, we have. We didn't. Honestly what a terrible time for us not to be recording because so many things happened luigi mangione what I have listed for us to talk about, which you know nothing about. It would take so long to explain, but the brianna chicken fry and grace omali situation.
Speaker 1:It just continues.
Speaker 2:Well, Brianna, what I told you before was about her and Zach Bryan.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Grace was her co-host and best friend of like 15 years and they had a friend breakup Partially, I think, started maybe with the Zach situation just on. It seems from context clues from brianna's relationship with zach then had hindered her relationship with grace, as, as toxic relationships can happen, sure to friends and stuff. So like over time people online could tell their relationship was strained and their when they were recording their podcast Like it wasn't, the vibes were off.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then Brianna. They had taken a hiatus and Grace has been on tour. She was opening for Whitney Cummings, which is so cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And they had taken a hiatus. And then one day someone had been like oh's your show coming back? And she was like, oh, I'm working on a way to bring it back in some capacity, but you'll know soon. And grace was like, okay, I don't know anything about that. So she posted on instagram like, okay, well, we were going to say something together, but I guess not so just like what zach did to her yes, which? Wow, I'm proud of you because thank so they.
Speaker 2:Then it became this whole thing of the internet taking sides mostly grace like 99.9% is on grace's side. And then people have turned again on Brianna and really like this is old news now, but I wanted it to relate to us as friends with the podcast Like.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, what I don't even know, like what I want to wanted to talk about. It was just like what? What is the right thing to do If you have a, if you have something like this with a friend and you're going through a hard time like I guess you just have to suck it up and have a?
Speaker 1:I would say, I would say, um, we're just not the type to ever not talk about it with each other.
Speaker 2:I think that's the difference. Like it's the personality types matter and we would just not do that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We haven't been friends for that long, so that's crazy to me that you can be friends since childhood, because they're only in their mid twenties, so it was like oh yeah kids yeah and just be like yeah, that's. That's actually wild nah, so I don't know. I would hope that they can, you know, take some time apart and reunite because, honestly, friends are what matter, you know at the end of the day whatever like messed up stuff happened with the ex-boyfriend like that is, it's valid for whatever emotions brianna was going through.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and and sometimes you take it out on the people you love and that really sucks. But I feel like when, with some separation, it she'll understand what she did wrong and hopefully they can talk it out?
Speaker 1:Yeah, because they're girlfriends, not exes, so hopefully they can reconcile yeah.
Speaker 2:But it's just. It was crazy to me how the internet just turned so fast because for her it was people were hating Brianna before her and Zach broke up because she had had some weird takes on the Menendez brothers and stuff that people were not happy about with her. Then the breakup happened and they were team Brianna and they were like yes, girl, I'm so glad you didn't take the millions, and like you're so strong, we love you so much, and then, within like weeks, turned back on her and we're like we hate you, go die basically. So it's just like a referendum on the internet.
Speaker 2:It's crazy that is wild yeah, oh also, I guess we can talk about what's gonna happen with tiktok. That's kind of relevant right now.
Speaker 1:But first, oh uh, diddy corner. So he and luigi are in the same prison right now.
Speaker 2:I can't. What if Luigi just. What if Luigi just?
Speaker 1:They leave him alone and oh crazy. But no, before jumping to the TikTok thing, did you see how, on the New, on the new year's countdown, how they didn't cut whitney cummings off and so she, just like, kept rambling?
Speaker 2:no, um, I don't know what caleb put on.
Speaker 1:I didn't see anything I just I saw a countdown, but I don't know where it was or who it was whitney says something to the effect of like well, since this is live and we're on broadcast television, let's see what I can get away with saying before they cut me off. And she just goes and she's like are we still live?
Speaker 2:This is crazy. What was she saying? You need to watch it, okay, no, like watch it right now. Yeah, president, chefs, yes, I don't know about this.
Speaker 1:So I looked it up. So many presidents, chefs have died Weirdly. So many Presidents chefs have died Weirdly, so many of them.
Speaker 2:Pneumonia.
Speaker 1:Drowning what I don't know. This is a conspiracy theory that I want to explore more.
Speaker 2:I do too.
Speaker 1:Let's revisit this next step, yeah we're going to revisit it, because I was like what? And then I saw a TikTok girl was like look it up, it's fucking crazy.
Speaker 2:That is crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I need to do that tonight yeah, let's talk about tiktok, because yeah, yeah I mean, it was literally like day it would be one day it'd be like nah, it's next day definitely going.
Speaker 2:Yeah, next day, not sure it's fine next day, for sure gone yeah, I don't know I don't know where it land.
Speaker 1:Do you know where it is right now? No, I just can't keep up.
Speaker 2:It's like whatever's gonna happen is gonna going to happen. So I'm just like whatever.
Speaker 1:I saw Trump was like for it he's like, or for keeping it Like he's trying.
Speaker 2:Because he did like. He thinks he's a star. I don't know.
Speaker 1:He might be. I don't really see him Like helped so much with our campaign.
Speaker 2:I mean sure, if he got. A lot of people are trying to mass download. There are some tiktoks I guess that I've just put on tiktok. Most of my content is on every platform. So yeah, I don't, I wouldn't be losing a lot. I'm not, not going to mass download everything. That's insane. I don't have the space for that, to be really honest, can you imagine.
Speaker 2:No, I might go through and if something I'm like oh I know this is only on TikTok, I might download it, just because I don't know. But that seems like too much work.
Speaker 1:Your Do Re Mi video. Download that.
Speaker 2:Oh yes, but I don't know, like, on one hand, I feel like it does really make all of us way bigger conspiracy theorists, because there's just so much content. What I do love about tiktok is the algorithm is so unique in that you can see a video of some random girl being like story time, blah, blah, blah. This happened to me, part two, and you don't have to do anything.
Speaker 2:You know, the next day, part two is coming up for you and that is a very unique thing that I feel like none of the other platforms really do. So I will miss that part of it if it goes away, because that's a nice thing that happens yeah but I also like will.
Speaker 2:My life I mean tiktok depends in terms of how much money I make from tiktok transparently for my level of um follower, following and engagement. I don't make that much money from any of the platforms. Tiktok has kind of stepped up their game a little bit and it ebbs and flows some months. If I have a couple videos that really go off and they're over a minute long, I get a little bit more money, and sometimes no. So it's like that will suck to not have to have one less form of extra income yeah but it's not like life-changing money that I'm making yeah, on tiktok.
Speaker 1:So it's like it would be one less platform for you to have to worry about posting oh my god, you guys.
Speaker 2:It's exhausting. Yeah, you try being an influencer every day. I'm just kidding. If you don't know that reference, then don't think I'm crazy what is that from michaela? Michaela, she got cooked because she, she got, was getting canceled for something. And she was like talking about it on her page, ranting about it, and she's crying, and she was like try being an influencer for a day. It's so hard. And people cooked her for that because, like what? Yeah we're not rocket scientists we're just posting ourselves on right a site, so oops we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we'll see what happens. I mean, we'll know by the time. No, we won't. 16th is that the day it's supposed to go down? I'm not sure I also saw somewhere that was like it isn't that it will shut down, it's that if you, if you don't already have it, you won't be able to download it and like that's the time where there's a time of a deadline of where we would have they would able to download it.
Speaker 2:Oh, and like that's the time where there's a time of a deadline of where we would have they would have to sell it, sell off the. American side to us, and if they don't want to do that, then it will be banned, I guess. But there will be a period of time before it's like shut off, shut off, okay. Because when Vine got shut off right, it was like you knew it was coming, and then there was a day that it was like gone forever I feel like it would be like that yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1:But, we'll see.
Speaker 2:We'll see. Would you like to hear the birthdays for today?
Speaker 1:Yeah, please, january 6th.
Speaker 2:It's pretty slim pickings, but January 6th we have Norman Reedus from the walking dead. Oh yeah, 56. Okay, irina shake. Do you know who that is? No, she.

Speaker 2:No way yeah.
Speaker 1:No way yeah Amazing. Nice and the song which I'm sure you hate what 2017 oh, probably, like probably, it's got to be fucking ed sheeran or some shit it is yeah.
Speaker 2:Do you know which song? Shape of you, yeah, you are such a hater.
Speaker 1:I like that song although it's so funny, you say that because I was at the airport and a song came on.
Speaker 2:I was like this is a Bob.
Speaker 1:What is this song? You looked it up, it was Ed Sheeran.
Speaker 2:You know what you need to stop being a hater. Shape of you is a good song. It is so catchy. It must have that pop formula that I, just because it is so pleasing to my little head.
Speaker 1:I love that for you.
