Welcome back to the A-List podcast with Allison and. Alex, I'm Allison.
Speaker 2And I'm Alex.
Speaker 1And that was a special riff of the song.
Speaker 2Allison, what are you wearing?
Speaker 1I'm wearing my active booty crew neck. Wow, thanks for the promo. You can get this at activebootycom along with our full collegiate collection.
Speaker 2And be sure to use promo code the A-list pod for absolutely no deal whatsoever.
Speaker 1But you could type it in and maybe Cameron will see it and be like, maybe we should do that. Well, hey, what's up?
Speaker 2Hey, long time no see.
Speaker 1Long time. No see, I'm not going to lie guys. This is prerecorded here's why, but we did change clothes. We changed clothes To pretend, even though I told you right away I can't keep a secret.
Speaker 2I don't think it's for pretending, it's for editing's sake. True, but no Allie is. You're eloping in Mexico, which is so exciting.
Speaker 1Yes, I am. No, I can't start that. Okay, sorry, we are in. No, I mean, I'm not going to cut it out, but we are going to Mexico for Cameron's birthday. Cameron's 30th. And then no, you don't go at the same time.
Speaker 2No, but I am turning 35 while you're gone.
Speaker 1And I will be going to Disney. Well, when this comes out, you have already turned 35.
Speaker 2That's true, you guys. I'm 35 now. Happy birthday.
Speaker 1Well, yes, this is prerecorded. So what do we have to talk about?
Speaker 2I have a few things, but we have nothing to catch up on. Is it the plane?
Speaker 1crashes and how we're all about to be on planes. I went down such a conspiracy rabbit hole today about this ex-cia agent that apparently predicted these plane crashes and that there's a like a thousand terrorists came into the country to orchestrate some sort of attack, like they did october 7th. Like I gotta go. Either I gotta stop with the conspiracy videos or I physically need to go. Yeah, it's not like okay. Every time I look at social media or the news, it's like we have tragic news again today and it's like I can't take this.
Speaker 2Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1But there is. I keep seeing these TikToks of people who are like kind of parodying that and they'll be like breaking news. You are a baddie who deserves a sweet treat or something.
Speaker 2And I'm like like this is the kind of content that I want. Hell yeah, it's my phone recording it sure is excellent.
Speaker 1I do have some piece of news that is a little bit more exciting, but also not that exciting okay, I'll take it a photo, photo, poster thing. For another simple favor has been posted by miss blake lively and it is premiering at south by southwest and going directly to amazon prime, like it's not going to theater wow and let me show you the flyer okay, flyer whatever it's called the advertisement. Yeah, why did they do this? They put oh yeah, why is Blake's name above Anna's name?
Speaker 2It's it that makes sense.
Speaker 1Because she's the main main.
Speaker 2Yeah, she's like the main main.
Speaker 1I feel like they're both main characters, right.
Speaker 2But it's kind of like the first movie centered around Blake and her.
Speaker 1Spoiler alert.
Speaker 2Blake and her twin.
Speaker 1What do you think the plot is for this?
Speaker 2I don't know If you just had to guess. If I had to guess, I want to say there's some sort of Anna Ferris' character.
Speaker 1Kendrick Right.
Speaker 2That felt weird coming out Anna Ferris' character Anna Kendrick. Right, that felt weird. Coming out Anna Fair characters Anna Kendrick.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And her like working together, like they're like frenemies that do a thing together.
Speaker 1Like a buddy cop. I kind of think it might be something where one of them goes missing and I think it's might be funnier if Blake goes missing and Anna has to find her.
Speaker 2That's exactly what happened in the first movie.
Speaker 1It is. Yes, I just remember Anna making cooking videos.
Speaker 2Yeah, because she went missing and she was like making food for her husband and her kid.
Speaker 1And then they fell in love.
Speaker 2We'll find you, we'll find you.
Speaker 1Right. So maybe it's the opposite this time. Maybe Anna gets abducted.
Speaker 2And they need her special set of skills so they get her out of the crazy, out of the insane asylum or wherever she is.
Speaker 1I need to rewatch this. I do not remember an insane asylum. I remember the twin and they killed their parents and she drowns her twin. Spoiler alert again. I remember the twin and they killed their parents and she drowns her twin. Spoiler alert again. I remember that part. I remember Anna's YouTube videos.
Speaker 2You remember how it ends. They're like having a knife fight in the house and Anna was recording the whole thing of her, like confessing that she was. Oh, yes, and then they take her away.
Speaker 1Okay, to an insane asylum.
Speaker 2That's what I believe happened. Yeah, and then she's her away.
Speaker 1Okay, to an insane asylum. That's what I believe happened, yeah. And then she's like Not just jail Prison.
Speaker 2But she, anna Kendrick, doesn't stay with her person, that guy either.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't think he's going to be in it.
Speaker 2Right Nor.
Speaker 1What else was I going to predict?
Speaker 2Is there a trailer?
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2I literally just saw this thing. I can look it up, see if there's a capital trailer, because the trailer for the new jurassic world movie comes out tomorrow the way I haven't. I saw it's with jonathan bailey and scarlett johansson steamy, fun, steamy.
Speaker 1I don't think that they've had a trailer. Okay, because the one I'm seeing looks like a fan made back at last year, like mid last year. So, okay, that tracks, we will update you if we see a trailer. But I was like, wow, it was the post. Was Blake doing a collab post with whoever made it? And the comments did not disappoint. Oh, really. They were like why are you posting this?
Speaker 2We don't care, Girl stop.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I liked the first movie Apparently.
Speaker 2I don't remember it, but you have no recollection of the movie at all.
Speaker 1I will rewatch it, but I know that when I saw it I liked it.
Speaker 2Okay. That's all that matters and that's all. That is all that matters. Period. This has been 11 minutes. Thank you for watching. No, I have more things. I didn't know if you had anything. Well, oh yeah, we didn't talk about this. So britney 2.0 put out a song, another song, oh, and it sounds. Have you heard it?
Speaker 1it sounds I have not just like like it.
Speaker 2The chorus is a Britney Spears rip.
Speaker 1What's her name?
Speaker 2Tate McRae.
Speaker 1Oh, I thought. Sorry, I thought you meant the girl who did the vocals for Britney Spears all those years.
Speaker 2We're talking about Britney 2.0, which is Tate McRae. Tate McRae has a new song.
Speaker 1The drivers, the sports car, sports car yes.
Speaker 2I did Drivers.
Speaker 1I did the take talk dance to it.
Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 1I liked it. It's Brittany I don't get the music video but I don't either.
Speaker 2She just likes being sexy for sure, and you would do.
Speaker 1Brittany it is. And I love that Do you think? Who do you think is more like Brittany, Tate or Addison?
Speaker 2You keep bringing Addison into this and I don't think that Addison you don't? I think everyone compares them I think tate mccray okay, okay, okay diet pepsi you don't think is britney coded addison has more of like, I think, the britney look yeah, and she has a southern accent, right yeah, it's the air about her yeah but tate as a performer and in music videos yes is giving britney and tate dances, like britney did once and she doesn't anymore. Yeah, tate, tate dances like Britney during the Britney album era.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah. I saw Tate's performance on the California wildfire thing and I was like cute, but I wish they were doing their songs.
Speaker 2What did she sing?
Speaker 1I knew you were going to ask that. Well, don't dream it over. Oh, she's saying you broke me first and covers don't dream it's over. Is you broke me first, her song I don't know you broke me what's the second song?
Speaker 2is that the?
Speaker 1don't dream, it's over hey, now, hey, yes that's what I tuned into. Her singing got it. I didn't hear the other one. It must be her because they said that and then and covers. But like I'm trying to see, it's okay, I'm okay a hundred percent sports car. I'm trying to see her dance two hands and she just was standing singing she needed a body break truly, but I do like. I do like the song. Yeah, there is drama with pandora and disney. Actually, the drama is with disney, pandora's collection and the public oh, okay so pandora put out a line of Disney princess inspired rings.
Speaker 2Okay, inspired, okay yeah.
Speaker 1And the people are unhappy, so I'll show you some of them. But apparently everyone's like you got these all wrong and they're redesigning them basically. Oh, the public is the public is, and really the issue is, they made some of them gold that should have been silver and vice versa.
Speaker 2Based on the princess.
Speaker 1Just like yeah, so.
Speaker 2Okay, let me just ask you, okay, if you were to make a gold or a silver ring for Cinderella One, two, three.
Speaker 1Silver. Okay, I get it. I get what you're saying then Okay. That's actually really funny.
Speaker 2Because I think Belle would be gold.
Speaker 1This is Cinderella, or this is Cinderella's yeah.
Speaker 2I disagree.
Speaker 1It makes no sense.
Speaker 2It doesn't, you're right.
Speaker 1First of all, blue is a cool tone. Well, this stone is a cool toned stone, so therefore, why is it on a gold ring? I'm sure that some people might like that, but in just aesthetics, if you're going to pick a cool toned stone, it should be in a silver setting.
Speaker 2Totally.
Speaker 1So number one, that's the wrong. What would you think for Jasmine Three, two, one Gold Nope, it's silver.
Speaker 2But that okay, what no? No, I disagree yeah, big disagree.
Speaker 1And so someone I saw. They were like I understand where they're going with the blue because that is on her headband or whatever, but again, everything she wears is gold. Her hoops are gold, all the shoes the one for a bell is for Belle comes in both, so why wouldn't they just do that for all of them?
Speaker 2Why does Belle get both?
Speaker 1I don't know, but Belle should be gold 100%. This is the silver one.
Speaker 2No no.
Speaker 1Ew.
Speaker 2So is it the same ring, just in gold?
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Belle 100% yeah.
Speaker 1Let me see what else we have. Tiana is green and silver.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1So they got that one right. The Ariel one is silver, which I am not mad about. No, I feel like that I think it could be. Honestly. No, I think it's silver, because she wouldn't wear gold with her red hair. No, right, no, but it is a opal. It's opal.
Speaker 2Pearl or pearl inside of like a shell really. I'll show you, please do, I'd wear it.
Speaker 1Oh, cute, cute cute, cute, I like the scallop diamonds?
Speaker 2yes, they're iridescent, which is cute.
Speaker 1Uh, that one's 88 honestly not that bad. What would you think rapunzel's would be? Probably gold yes, I could see it being both, though, okay, I don't feel strongly, it's pink, what?
Speaker 2color are the stones?
Speaker 1They're pink.
Speaker 2Maybe a rose gold would have been cute for her I like that because she wears pink snow white I probably do silver hers is silver.
Speaker 1It kind of it's her bow, but to me this is giving mini mouse oh 100.
Speaker 2I would have said that's mini mouse inspired.
Speaker 1That's what I thought uh, it's like a pink, a pink gem and then red bow, which I don't hate, but it also it doesn't give me what An apple. No, you can't put an apple on a ring. What would you put? I guess that is kind of hard.
Speaker 2That is kind of hard.
Speaker 1What else is Snow White known for?
Speaker 2The dwarfs.
Speaker 1The seven little men on there.
Speaker 2I guess it is her bow and her hair, but you just don't think of.
Speaker 1I think that's it they have a which one's your fave. What would I wear? What would you wear?
Speaker 2Based on the way they look, not the princess.
Speaker 1Oh, okay, I would wear the snow white bow. Yeah, I would wear the Cinderella and I would wear Sleeping Beauty. Okay, I would wear Jasmine. If it it were gold, I don't think I'd wear it silver, yeah, but honestly, they're not. The designs aren't aren't bad per se, it's just the colors. And I mean people. I looked, I searched on tiktok. There were so many videos really of people being up in arms. I I don't personally care, but like it's not hurting me either way, I do think it's silly that they did get them wrong, but I just thought it was a funny little.
Speaker 1It is like drama of on Tik TOK that no one else is getting. Whoa, whoa, whoa. No one else is getting this, like surf this content, but me somehow.
Speaker 2But yeah that's so interesting.
Speaker 1Have you ever had a pizza from Dobrik's?
Speaker 2No, I haven't. But when I drive by it every time I'm like, oh, okay, also the pink taco closed. Did you know that?
Speaker 1No, but I never got to be there, so good.
Speaker 2Sorry, dobrik's.
Speaker 1Well, I learned something that has kind of ruined it for me, but I I need to do some investigation to.
Speaker 2You need to look for yourself.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2Do tell.
Speaker 1I heard today, miss Tana Mongeau said that it's actually a ghost kitchen for Prince Street, and that makes sense because their little pepperonis are very circular like Prince Street. So I need to find this out. And Josh, like Prince Street, is like a New York place that is here, and so he has had it a bunch more than I have. I feel like we should go investigate and let everyone know, but I think that's annoying if it is Agreed.
Speaker 1Because he markets it like he came up with this place, and he's first of all. It doesn't make sense that it's not Chicago style, because he's from Chicago, so why is it not deep dish? I know people here wouldn't really be eating deep dish, but their main should be deep dish and then have something crust or whatever he is chicago style, for sure they might, to be honest, haven't been there.
Speaker 1they might have an option of chicago style, but they're um ones that have those little pepperonis and the hot honey on it, like that's what they are pushing to. The public Got it. And now that I think about it, when I've seen people eat it, it does give Prince Street vibes.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1And I just don't like that. Yeah, that's.
Speaker 2We're going to have to investigate and find out.
Speaker 1That's it. I know I wish it was closer because we could just get it on Thursday. I mean we probably could order it. I don't know if that's a thing you can do.
Speaker 2It's far though it's like in Hollywood.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's next to a salad ranch.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'll be there someday. I can go the distance. I will find my way, if I can be strong, I know every mile will be worth my while.
Speaker 1I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong. Why is he so far back there? He has had enough of you. Okay, we decided we're going to do another Buzzfeed quiz because that sounds fun to us. So this one is called. It's a very long title, so get ready. If you think you remember the biggest pop culture events of the past 50 years, think again, because this trivia test is about to seriously stump you.
Speaker 2Let's go.
Speaker 1Okay. With 2025 getting off to a bit of a rocky start, I've recently become super nostalgic for the iconic pop culture moments that define the past few decades. Who doesn't love thinking about simpler times? Am I right? I want to work at BuzzFeed in this department?
Speaker 2Yes, like how do I have to talk to help me?
Speaker 1I want to make BuzzFeed quizzes.
Speaker 2I'll find out who the hell does it.
Speaker 1Amazing. Okay, Number one. Let's start out with a pretty easy one. In what year did Kanye West interrupt Taylor Swift's Taylor Swift at the VMAs? Do you want the four or do you want to guess first?
Speaker 2My immediate gut said 2009, but I don't think that's it.
Speaker 1That is an option. We have 2009, 10, and 11. No, I think it was nine. First of all, they gave you two 2010s, which seems like one of them might be the right answer, but maybe that is a trick or someone just messed messed up let's see you want 2009 I think it is 2009 right, correct.
Speaker 1September 2009 and and I go back to, I thought it was december. Wait, is it back to december about this moment? Is this just saying like she was feeling sad about it in december, but it happened in september diane? Do you not know what? Back to December about this moment? Is this just saying like she was feeling sad about it in December, but it happened in?
Speaker 2September, Allison Diane. Do you not know what back to December is about?
Speaker 1It's Taylor Lautner, but I thought it was him consoling her on this night.
Speaker 2He doesn't console her on that night. It's his biggest regret.
Speaker 1And I go back to December all the time.
Speaker 2When she broke up with him.
Speaker 1Oh sad.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1What a guy.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1He did say that, that he regrets not stepping in, but he couldn't hear what he said.
Speaker 2He didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 1Okay, how long has it been since Britney Spears shaved her head?
Speaker 22007.
Speaker 1Okay, but you have to do math, because this is 17 years, 18 years, 19 years or 20 years, so it's 2007. 2017. 2017. Years, so it's 2007, 2017, 2027 minus two. Wait, yeah, so 18, 18 years, 28 correct february 2007. More importantly though, what did your? What year?
Speaker 2did britney's first single come out 1998.
Speaker 1Okay, correct. Wow, 27 years ago, yeah, whoa. How long has it been since the music, since the greatest musical. Let me start over. How long has it been since the greatest decom of all time, dropped high school musical.
Speaker 2We're all in this together.
Speaker 1Oh, it's more math, it's either 16, 17, 18, or 19 years. I want to say this was like 2000.
Speaker 2Five.
Speaker 1It can't be 20 years, so it has to be less than 2005. So it has to be 2004 at least.
Speaker 2Whoa, oh my gosh. So you want to try 19? Correct January 20, oh my God. So let's, you want to?
Speaker 1try 19?. Correct January 20th 2006. What Did we do? The right math with the wrong years. Yeah, yeah, right, I'm not an actuary. No, no, no, I'll tell you that. Do you remember what year Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy? I sure don't. So when Netflix got involved, Well, netflix had been out, just as DVD delivery, for a few years before this.
Speaker 2Blockbuster could have bought them too. Did you know that they had an opportunity to buy them and they passed? I'm going to say Blockbuster Does it have the years.
Speaker 1It does.
Speaker 2Give me the options for this one 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011.
Speaker 1I was going to say blockbuster. Does it have the years?

Speaker 198 netflix mailed its first dvd beetlejuice, to a customer.
Speaker 2Whoa DVDs have been around since I was seven years old.
Speaker 1Apparently. And then in 99, it introduced the subscription and then 2000, they introduced a personalized movie recommendation system. Do you remember the quiz you could take to help you find something to watch? Why did they take that away?
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 1It used to be like what do you feel like watching tonight? And you could click to help you find something to watch. Why did they take that away? I don't know. It used to be like what do you feel like watching tonight?
Speaker 1and you could click that, yeah, and then you would answer questions do you feel like comedy or drama or thriller or whatever? And you'd answer, and then it'd be like are you feeling, do you want something from this time or this time? Are you, do you, are you interested in romance? And then it would would give you a movie recommendation to watch. Such a great thing. Why aren't they doing that still?

Speaker 1And they used to come up and go back. And then they haven't for over a year. Yes, I did see a tiktok about that. They're working again.
Speaker 1Whoa also side note, completely off this subject, but I started a new book I saw and it's actually the third book in the series of the fourth wing and it just came out. So, everyone, if you follow me, if you want to follow me on goodreads uh, you should, and I'll let you know what I think. But I just I've only read 50 pages, so I'm not that really in it yet, but I wanted to let everyone know that I started how are those first 50 pages treating you? They're good. Okay, I honestly think you might be interested in this book because they're gay sex. There's not a gay sex.
Speaker 2I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1I've told you, this is the one where it's kind of a mixture between, like, harry Potter and game of Thrones Not trying, oh, this is not the like fairy smut.
Speaker 1No, this is kids who are well, well they're, I think they're young adults, but they go to a school, a magic school, where they learn how to uh, train and ride dragons, oh, and their dragons like pick them, basically, and then they're bonded to their dragons and they but there is like romance there is a couple in it, but it's not like that. So the only magical part is that, like they can do magic, but it's not fairies. So the game of Thrones part is obviously the dragons. The Harry Potter thing is like they're at this like big magic school, but it is like real people.
Speaker 2What do you mean?
Speaker 1They're humans.
Speaker 2Like Harry Potter.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2But there's fictional creatures.
Speaker 1Dragons. That's it. There's no warlock.
Speaker 2Like trolls.
Speaker 1I haven't come across any trolls In the third book of the fourth wing.
Speaker 2There's no trolls.
Speaker 1There's not been trolls yet.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1But there's like a war happening. It's not as girly.
Speaker 2Is it like Middle Earth?
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 1Is that Like?
Speaker 2it's the United States or like it's this world.
Speaker 1It's its own world.
Speaker 2Okay, yeah, so in many ways like Middle Earth.
Speaker 1Sure, and it could be a little bit of Lord of the Rings, because there are things that they're searching for.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And I just think maybe you should give it a little shot. You can borrow my book, you can.
Speaker 2I'll have to Do. You like to read it?
Speaker 1We've never spoken about reading.
Speaker 2I do not like reading. You like to?
Speaker 1listen. Okay, why don't you give it a little listen?
Speaker 2I do have a credit in audio audible.
Speaker 1Listen to a couple of chapters and just see if anything interests you in it.
Speaker 2I was going to listen to Brittany's autobiography again, but I guess I could try this Again is crazy.
Speaker 1I have to take notes For again is crazy.
Speaker 2I have to take notes for just knowing things Okay.
Speaker 1Well, this next question you better get right. Okay, when did Titanic come out?
Speaker 21998, 1997, 1997, 1997.
Speaker 1Okay, in my head I said 97, and then I thought I was just wrong. Oh my gosh, you really stressed me out, that's true.
Speaker 2Yeah, close one.
Speaker 1How long ago did the viral Harlem shake trend gain popularity? Long ago, so this is in years. This was in college, so what's the Harlem shake? Where you would stand really still. We just we just redid this for fun. You sit, you stand really still until the beat drops and then you dance all crazy. Do you remember this?
Speaker 2I have no recollection.
Speaker 1No one was doing that out here.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1So in college it would have been like 2011,. I feel like, because it wasn't, I graduated technically in 12.
Speaker 2It's like this thing.
Speaker 1Well, that is the Bernie oh. So no, okay. And it's weird because the Harlem Shake is its own dance move. That's like this yeah. But and that is separate from the song Harlem Shake in which this trend happened, and it is confusing and I never really understood that.
Speaker 2Was this pre whip and nene?
Speaker 1yes, this was when we were in college wasn't whipping nene also in college I feel like college was like.
Speaker 2Oh, I'm thinking of something high school apple bottom jeans boots with the fur.
Speaker 1High school that's high school. That's senior year of school. I want to say this was in 2011. How many years ago was that?
Speaker 2Well, you take the one you carried over 14.
Speaker 1Dang it 12 years. Okay, so that was 2013.
Speaker 22013?.

Speaker 1No 2001. Forgive me for this one. How long has it been since my space was the most popular social network? So what we know is that facebook was founded in 2004. I know that from the hundreds of times I've watched the social network, and so my space would have been its peak right before that, right yeah so that would be 2004 was 20 years, so our options are 16, 17, 18, and 19 okay, so it's been 21 years since then, since 2004 right, so they overlapped a little let's say 19 yeah 17.
Social Media Nostalgia
Speaker 1It was the most popular social networking site from 2005 until 2008, so I guess what we're saying is facebook. Obviously silly us. Facebook for, or yeah?
Speaker 2college students.
Speaker 1Yeah, so it wasn't the most popular. I got one, I guess, because I was a freshman in 2004. We were both, so I think by senior year I might've gotten one, cause I feel like the first couple of years yeah, it was college my sister had one.
Speaker 2My sister had one and she gave me one with her second cause you had to have an email address that was like to a college, yeah. So I had one early. Nice, yeah, yeah, I think I got it probably senior year and then so different than you could send badges and quizzes and have a top 10 on Facebook. On Facebook, it was 10. Or was it five, I don't know my God, I was changing out all the time.
Speaker 1The fights.

Speaker 2I also am hearing it with show choir vocals.
Speaker 1It's all very up here. No, because it was like Sexy cooler. You spoke it yeah, does this exist on the internet. I don't think so.
Speaker 2What were you called the Marian Warblers?
Speaker 1I wish we were called the 26th Street Innovations Actually no, we were not At the time we were just Innovations. But here's the thing what 26th Street? Let me go back Let me tell you the history of my school, which is very historical in many ways. We have the sixth largest gymnasium in the country in the country. Um, so we had a famous show choir called the 26th street singers and everyone knew them all over the country. Oh yeah, that was like in the seventies, eighties nineties yeah.
Speaker 1And then that um teacher died and the new one came in and it was 26 years old, still for a little bit. And then it changed to innovations.
Speaker 2He's changing things up and there was a girl group called the sweet inspirations. Did you have to audition for that?
Speaker 1You had audition for both.
Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 1And then they. It was another reinvention after I graduated high school, and then it became the 26th Street Innovations.
Speaker 2They married the two yeah.
Speaker 1Got it, so that is.
Speaker 2So does Vogue by the Marion. Innovations exist on the internet.
Speaker 1Yes, you can see Haley, for sure.
Speaker 2You're in it.
Speaker 1I don't think so.
Speaker 2So what years were you in it? No, this Vogue this number?
Speaker 1Oh, I don't think so.
Speaker 2Look up this number specifically.
Speaker 1I will, but I don't think so. No one was putting things on YouTube in 2004.
Speaker 2No, now Imagine someone like you whose parents recorded it. We're like let's put this on YouTube.
Speaker 1Oh, you want to see like anyone doing it? Yes, okay, show, I got to go to YouTube.
Speaker 2No, I want to see the Marian Warblers doing vote.
Speaker 1I don't think they are doing it right now.
Speaker 2No, what? Sometimes in our friendship we come to these crossroads where we really think we understand what the other one is saying. But we are on two completely different paths.
Speaker 1I don't understand. True, or?
Speaker 2false. You were in a show choir in high school called the marion innovations. You were the innovations. You guys did a. You guys did a number called Vogue by.
Speaker 1Madonna yes.
Speaker 2I'm asking if that performance from whenever you, if someone's parent recorded it and then, maybe down these years that child who was your peer posted it on YouTube.
Speaker 1I will look, but I do not think so.
Speaker 2You said I don't think they're doing it right now.
Speaker 1I thought you meant like is a kid from the current show choir also doing Vogue and posting it.
Speaker 2Imagine and you were going to look that up. Well, I guess I'll check.
Speaker 1I can't spell Vogue, no, but literally here is Haley doing Little Shop of Horror. Slash Zombie Jamboree in 2015 years ago.
Speaker 2Wow.
Speaker 1Okay, and Transylvania Mania and the Ballad of Sweeney Todd. You guys, if you go look this up, do not tell Hayley that I took you here, because she will be mad at me.
Speaker 2Attend the Tale of Sweeney Todd oh and.
Speaker 1Thriller. I'm not seeing it. Okay, well, that's a bummer, but there's lots of 26th Street innovations if you guys want to go look.
Speaker 2I know that there was like a lot of Homestead on YouTube.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, homestead Carol.
Speaker 2Yeah, those were my friends. What's the?
Speaker 1other one up north-ish with a C. I don't know.
Speaker 2We can talk about it offline because I'm sure the Midwest show choir seems hot and it is what inspired Glee, by the way, you guys.
Speaker 1Yes, they compete in Indiana a lot.
Speaker 2I was on an episode where they were in and one of the show choirs was Fort Wayne.
Speaker 1True. Also, how do I keep forgetting? Have I talked to you about how my CrossFit coach was also?
Speaker 2in Glee. No, we've talked about that, okay.
Speaker 1I need to find.
Speaker 2He was a dancer, though I was a football player.
Speaker 1Yeah, I need to find something where I can see you both.
Speaker 2I wonder, ask him if next time you think about it. Ask him if he was in the um the Greece episode.
Speaker 1I'll text him. I used a lot of dancers and I was in that uh scene for Summer Lovin' that that number scene for summer loving that?
Speaker 2I will ask summer loving?
Speaker 1happy, okay, everyone.
Speaker 2Well, sorry about this episode listen we didn't want to let you down on your commutes and your monday listen, but it wasn't our strongest.
Speaker 1But we're happy to have spent it with you and because we're pre-recording, we can't talk about the uh super bowl. So why don't we just give our prediction right now for the super bowl? That's already passed. Yes, what we think happened, and we'll see if we were right I think that do you know who's playing cardinals?
Speaker 2one because taylor swift right.

Speaker 1This is the dumbest conversation.
Speaker 2Your number one sports podcast everyone.
Speaker 1I'm crying again, kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 2There's no bird in this.
Speaker 1I can't believe that I let you invade my brain like that.
Speaker 2We're allowed to have a football team called the Chiefs.
Speaker 1Still, yeah, I think that this slipped through the cracks.
Speaker 2It certainly has.
Speaker 1The St Louis Cardinals are the baseball team.
Speaker 2Right, so you weren't wrong.
Speaker 1And there is the Arizona Cardinals. Are they a team?
Speaker 2So in the Super Bowl is the Kansas City Chiefs versus the South Dakota Lions, not the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1The Wildcats Versus the.
Speaker 2Wildcats basketball team.
Speaker 1Let me keep guessing. The Chicago Bears no.
Speaker 2but that is a football team, so that's good.
Speaker 1Keep guessing the Chicago bears no, but that is a football team, so I know.
Speaker 2I know some of them like the Dallas Cowboys the Indianapolis Colts. I know them. Of course I have a brick.
Speaker 1Okay, keep going.
Speaker 2So it is the Kansas city chiefs versus the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 1No, but right side of the country.
Speaker 2Oh, oh. Is it against the Los Angeles chargers?
Speaker 1That's the other side of the country and that's a no.
Speaker 2Baltimore isn't Maryland, right, maryland? Um, okay, so it's the New York jets.
Speaker 1No, but good.
Speaker 2It's the Miami whales.
Speaker 1No, it's not the Miami Whales. Okay, honestly, they should do that.
Speaker 2Well, it's the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And also.
Speaker 1What's their basketball team?
Speaker 2The basketball team.
Speaker 1Of Miami In Florida.
Speaker 2The Miami Heats Good.
Speaker 1Plural Good job. Many of them. Okay, keep going. Okay there, florida, the Miami Heats Good, plural, good job.
Speaker 2Many of them.
Speaker 1Okay, keep going.
Speaker 2Okay, there's also a team that's a lion, I'm sure.
Speaker 1Detroit.
Speaker 2Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1Okay, let me give you the region was the like northeast area.
Speaker 2Okay, but it wasn't Washington.
Speaker 1It wasn't Washington.
Speaker 2They were in the game before this to get in and they lost.
Speaker 1What color is their team? Um like teal, teal and white.
Speaker 2So it's not the Miami dolphins.
Speaker 1No, they also have, I guess.
Speaker 2All right, giants, is it the giants?
Speaker 1No, yeah, it's like teal.
Speaker 2Oh, the Denver Broncos. No, that's the wrong side and that's orange. Teal.
Speaker 1Teal. It's an animal.

Speaker 1Oh, I thought you were so close.
Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 1Northeast.
Speaker 2Okay, Northeast.
Speaker 1So to my brain that means you said pretty much everywhere around them. You said New York, you said New Jersey, you said Washington, you said the thing that's crazy about this conversation right now is that the Super Bowl is done. People are listening to this being like we don't care.
Speaker 2Okay, just tell me.
Speaker 1It's the Philadelphia Eagles, the.
Speaker 2Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1Not the Miami Whales, no it is not. Okay, well, I think that the Eagles won because the Chiefs have been there so many times. They got. I think that they got comfortable, but they got there and they relaxed a little bit and they were like we've won.
Speaker 2Now, as someone who doesn't know anything about the sports, how well did the Eagles do this season?
Speaker 1You know what I don't know?
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1But they made it to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2Good for them and good for the other guys.
