Speaker 3:Is that a chorus line? Good job Welcome back to the A-List Podcast with Allison and Alex. I'm Allison. I'm Alex, that's Stanley.
Speaker 1:And you guessed it, I'm still not moved in.
Speaker 3:You have.
Speaker 1:No, thank you, You're so nice you have a rug, it's actually worse than when you were here last, because now there's things stacked in the living room.
Speaker 3:Well, it's okay, it'll go away.
Speaker 1:Were here last because now there's things stacked in the living room. Well, it's okay. The goal was to bring things in from my garage, as yeah, you said that yeah, and then because I have not.
Speaker 1:I've been working 13 hour days back to back to back to back. That just hasn't happened and I think that I need to go with the plan of it all needs to be in my face so that I, oh yeah, start to put things away. So thank you for being accommodating and recording earlier tonight, cause I was telling Allison that I need to bring everything in because tomorrow, which is Saturday for us, is my, like, only day that I have a good chunk of hours to do anything so.
Speaker 1:I'm like I'm going to bring it all in tonight, get up early and then just literally like power through Cause what I don't know yet is how many storage cabinets do I need to buy for my bathroom? Like I need to see where I'm at with stuff and what I can get rid of still, but I've slowly been chipping away.
Speaker 1:So I've been selling things. As you guys know, I said this last time. I've been selling things to fund new things. So I have pretty much everything that's going to be in my bedroom has been ordered and I'm going. I told you I'm doing floor to ceiling curtains, so I got all that ordered. It comes in Sunday. My bed frame comes in the seventh and there's like it's going to look as aesthetic as fuck.
Speaker 1:Very excited Um but then I'm just going to like go slowly from there. So the next big purchase is going to be a couch, but I have a couple more things I want to sell.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you were going to go tomorrow or last Saturday last.
Speaker 1:Saturday tomorrow park, but I literally like I can't tell you. I was dead last Saturday, so, um, that didn't happen. And then I've decided the one that I found at living spaces. I I keep thinking about it. Okay, so I think I'm just going to go with that. The last thing before I pull the trigger will be to measure, just to make sure, cause it is a. It's a huge couch. It could comfortably seat for huge, isn't like? It's deep and comfortable? Oh yeah, but then I have this chair that I'm currently sitting in, which is also a sleeper, and it's a good piece I want to hold on to.
Speaker 2:It's an L you said said it's not, it's a do to do and then a huge foot rest.
Speaker 1:So the foot rest is going to go here like this one is so that stanley can look out the window. Yeah, um, but originally it was going to be that with this at the end, but I think that's going to go too close to the stairs and it's going to bother me. I don't know okay but the couch will be good but you are keeping this yeah, yeah, I feel like I have to. It's so comfortable.
Speaker 1:It as like a yeah extra bed and megan's coming in may and yeah um, so I might do the couch in the chair that you're in and then, yeah, I just have to chip away from there, like I'm not gonna go crazy. I'm just gonna like get a few things as I sell stuff, because I just what I'm trying to do here is eliminate storage because I have so much of it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, are you putting curtain?
Speaker 1:here, I just don't know what. Yet.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So we'll see I guess it would.
Speaker 3:It depends on your. Your color scheme is going off of the rug.
Speaker 1:It's going to be warm with greens. The couch is like that, that color, the color of my bed, my old bed frame, okay, um, and then yeah, creams, Okay, Um, and then yeah, I'm just going to kind of yeah creams. So we'll see. I've decided that the priority for me is my bedroom area because, like sleep, so important to me. So I'm going to work my way down. It's not like. I'm hosting anything, and this is kind of like the house I'm going to live in while I grind.
Speaker 3:I mean it's not not hostable, just like not a big group.
Speaker 1:What I mean by that is like before.
Speaker 3:I would be like the couch right now, yeah, but I'm like well, this too you can get a cover for, I feel like very easily oh yeah, you can just buy it.
Speaker 1:You can just interchange the covers because it's all velcro oh like from from ikea. You can go get any color you want that's from ikea I forgot, yeah. So just like the footstool as well, which matches it, you can just buy the cup new covers for them, which are like 70 bucks. So yeah, I could make this cream yeah, or whatever or whatever. If they had a green, that'd be cool orange yeah, like throw a color.
Speaker 3:I don't know if that was just going off.
Speaker 1:We'll see, and I'm trying to figure out what we'll do with the podcast, because the couch, well, is like a really good looking couch, like we could go back to recording on the couch and then have stuff behind the couch, um. But also I have like a lot of space in the kitchen, that kind of like yours, where, like I'm, I'm not gonna get a kitchen table. I didn't. No one sat at my bar at the last place I lived and I just don't think I need to have a full kitchen table yeah so we could set up a little setup in that corner, which would be cute yeah or at the top of my stairs.
Speaker 1:I have a landing, so I don't know. Yeah. Tbd. But this is why I want to get everything unpacked, because, like I don't have all of my content, phones and then you know, I just didn't like yeah, Well so that's what everyone's fine. Like we're all but that's fine. Oh, and I looked up, like just for the heck of it, to see like what podcast studio rentals would be, because there are some, they're everywhere.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:And there's so many here in the Valley and there's a lot. There's a couple in Sherman Oaks. Whatever the point is. I looked through I want to say like six or eight of them and I liked a lot of their setups, but it's so expensive.
Speaker 3:What's the running rate.
Speaker 1:For one hour to record audio with one camera, not two. The cheapest I could find was $250. For one hour.
Speaker 3:Does that come with a producer?
Speaker 1:It comes with someone to engineer it.
Speaker 3:Okay. But, not editing, no editing. That's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1:I was like, if it's like a hundred bucks for two hours. Should we?
Speaker 3:go in the podcast studio business. That's what I'm thinking like if it's like 100 bucks for two hours.
Speaker 1:Should we go in the podcast studio?
Speaker 3:business. I'm thinking because it's just like it's crazy, because if it, was around 100.
Speaker 1:It might be worth something that we look into doing it, but I was like for now we would need at least an hour and a half just to like get so yeah, and we aren't making money really like we're making like right.
Speaker 3:So it's like ten dollars a piece. So, yeah, no, we would be in the hole if we were making way above that.
Speaker 1:then yeah, then we could invest in the space, but not right now. So, anyway, I was just like well, let's see. So it's like no, it's still.
Speaker 3:I honestly anticipated way less. I did too, and I think, and I feel like Five years ago it probably was more formal. Yeah, we're not special.
Speaker 1:No, but we have outlasted most.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we have.
Speaker 1:Over a year, and that's rare.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Good for us.
Speaker 3:And we're here.
Speaker 1:We're here.
Speaker 3:I know you said recording earlier, but it feels late to me because I got drunk last night accidentally. Yeah, haley had a wine tasting because she is studying for her next round of sommelier. Yeah, nice, she like. I don't know if she's passed just the first one or past two of them. I think maybe that cute she's on her third. So she wanted to do like a pairing dinner with wines and cute.
Speaker 3:I don't drink wine very much and so I didn't really know how actually no, okay, like I'm really tired today, but I and I was like a hungover a little bit and in the sense of like, like I didn't, I was like a little nauseous, but not too much, and I did not have a headache at all. Okay, but that's great. Actually I was drunk so you're just, you're sleepy yeah I'm a sleepy girl, so I it feels later than it is.
Speaker 3:I got myself to work out which nice was a feat but you and I'm here, so I actually need to like pick up the energy a little bit. Sorry, guys.
Speaker 1:It's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 3:Um wait, you had a. What was the event you did last night?
Speaker 1:So at Buzzfeed now I'm I am I am doing this new show. It's called a flirt and report with Joyce. So Joyce is a creator at Buzzfeed who has a really big following. She's part of the Try Guys and their new venture. She's one of them.
Speaker 3:Okay, I probably know. I don't know her name, but I probably recognize her face.
Speaker 1:So two things happened yesterday. So there was a Facebook meta event happening at Buzzfeed, which I was doing a lot of on the production side with.
Speaker 1:And so I was there in the morning until five and then went to the red carpet and shot joyce's show from five to eight and then back to the studio to drop all the footage and equipment. So it was a long day. But I realized so one of the person hosting the meta event at buzzfeed he's so he was so funny. It was a creator event, so it's just a bunch of influencers that came in cool, I didn't get invited um it's which is wild, because the attendance was really was caleb there no, caleb wasn't there um but the host of it, his name is tucker.
Speaker 3:You follow him on instagram tucker tall tall, like very charismatic goes to my gym okay so he was the host. It was very funny yeah, he's really funny so that went off really well.
Speaker 1:Meta was very happy. And then the show flirt and report is joy, basically the concept you guys, and you should check it out. The first episode has come out and it's really funny. Um, joyce and I go to the red carpet premieres and she is a six foot one, like big personality, hilarious. And she basically asks nothing about the movies or the show and then just flirts with these celebrities and asks them questions. It's like chicken.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was going to say it's giving. That was the inspo.
Speaker 1:So we've done three. Now we did the new movie Novocaine. That's the episode that's out, and then we did the Apple TV show, the studio on. Monday and then yesterday we did warfare. Which is this new like war movie that's starting like Will Poulter, noah Centineo a bunch of hotties, just hotties.
Speaker 3:Speaking of Noah, did you? Was he on the carpet last night? Was that the photo that's going around, that everyone's like? Is he okay? Because he looks like his eyes are super like red? You know we didn't get an interview with him I'm gonna show you like this was. This is like a big like thing today that people are like what's wrong with him?
Speaker 1:I mean we have a clip of joyce going, no, I love you, and he like looks over at her and okay, so he wasn't acting that crazy so like the these photos where his like eyes are super fair, that's where I was last night red and he just looks like disheveled and his like lips are chapped.
Speaker 3:That's like a notable thing that the person said in this in this article Cause I another podcast I listened to this morning was talking about it and they, like fans, are like worried about Okay, here's what I'll say.
Speaker 1:It was a very small red carpet.
Speaker 3:There was only maybe 40 of us on the carpet and I could hear his interview like four people down and he sounded very fine okay, sounded normal, he was also very alert like okay, he wasn't giving drugs, no not to me yeah, but he does, I guess like maybe he beefed up for this, because he also just like looks oh, it's possible.
Speaker 1:It's a war movie about the iraq war. It's one day during the iraq war yeah, oh, that's sounds interesting.
Speaker 3:But I mean, people are used to him being like, yeah, really tiny and ripped and like cute cutie boy shaven from yeah, all the boys yeah, but the I think the eyes being like uh, red and like dark circles and stuff Like he's looking. People aren't allowed to be tired these days. Yeah, like this.
Speaker 1:This is what's happened to Noah Centineo oh my God, first of all, gen Z heartthrob shocks with worrying new look, okay, that's, he was totally normal, but anyway, all right.
Speaker 3:Well, you guys, you heard it here first.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you heard it here first, so that's been really exciting, because the show seems to be pretty well received from the people at. Buzzfeed, so that's great.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I do recognize her. I looked her up while you were.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she's funny.
Speaker 1:I've had just a whirlwind of two weeks, all that said, and I have a headshot session a week from tomorrow. I'm going. This is so stupid. So my main headshot session, the one I paid $1,000 for, forever ago she was displaced because of the fire, so it's been rescheduled a lot. It's in.
Speaker 1:May like the middle of May she's doing four. Looks I really need like six, and so I was like what can I do ASAP to get everything up and going so that when her photos come in? So anyway, I was going to go to the studio at the Mirror. La.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah. Then I found this guy who followed me on Instagram, who's a really good headshot photographer, who, to have him do three looks and give me all the raws to just edit myself, was going to be like 40. It is $40 more than if I had done Mirror.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, to have an actual photographer take my photos, so than if I had done mirror.
Speaker 1:Oh to have an actual photographer take my photos.
Speaker 3:So I was like I'm just going to do that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So I booked with him and that's going to be next Saturday, but in anticipation for that of that, I was like, I still no one. This is coming from a gay. I have so many girlfriends that are amazing at makeup and not a single one of them has ever, like, shown me how to do makeup. Now, granted, I've never asked you explicitly, but prior to this friend group, when I was in a more toxic friend group before, like I'm talking, four or five years ago, there was this person who I do not associate with anymore. You can keep this in. This has nothing to do with anyone, you know. Um, okay, who, like, was a self-proclaimed makeup influencer and was like a friend of mine.
Speaker 1:I asked her. Okay, like I asked her for a tutorial, like I just want to learn how to do basic like concealer coverup. I just want to look like a no makeup makeup, look like I could do for myself before a red carpet or before a photo shoot. That just as natural evens me out. Maybe give some bronzer, whatever. I have never been like. She was awful. She knew nothing.
Speaker 3:Like she took me to.
Speaker 1:Ulta, like skin matched me to a bunch of products, but like I spent a ton of money on a bunch of stuff that she claimed was going to be everything I needed, gave me like a 10 minute fuck you. Tutorial on it and then just like, left me out to dry and I was just very like not traumatized but very put off by that. So I never asked anyone, ever again.
Speaker 1:Okay yeah I mean I am happy to no I know you would have been, but it's also like I was. I just was gonna look up a youtube tutorial, so I googled, that's how I learned I googled men's basic makeup tutorial or something like that.
Speaker 3:James Charles.
Speaker 1:No, an ad for Sephora. Makeup lessons came up Whoa so for $75,. I'm getting a 90 minute lesson on Monday.
Speaker 3:Oh, you're doing it. Yeah, I paid Love that.
Speaker 1:So on Monday at 10 30 AM, I'm getting a 90 minute lesson from is it from a man? No, it's a woman, but she, like I, put in what I was looking for and then they picked the makeup artist for me yeah so I put in the notes that I'm looking for.
Speaker 3:So she's just gonna walk me through what products to get yeah, so that's the part I don't know like in terms of, because my sister asks me a lot um reagan, like other people have asked me, like what products they need yeah and I. I say what I use and like what I have heard other people use, but I'm not great at shade matching. I can barely shade match myself.
Speaker 1:It's a challenge and also because, if you're bronze, like if you're tanned, is there something different than your other makeup?
Speaker 3:You have to usually have two shades, like I, not really now I um makes that's another thing too.
Speaker 2:Like I've just over time have learned like a formula that I like and I mix two things together.
Speaker 3:I mix, I have a foundation from makeup revolution and then I have the tinted uh, hyaluronic moisturizer, whatever from color pop and I do like a pump of the revolution, one and a couple pumps of the tinted moisturizer and that's what I use as my foundation base. But that's just for me, like playing around.
Speaker 1:I think that's what's intimidating to me about asking my girlfriends, because you all do something so different yeah and I think the makeup artist will be able to be like well, based on your skin tone. Yeah, here's what I would recommend.
Speaker 3:So like what I would, or texture what I would feel, like if you weren't doing the sephora thing. I would be like let's go to sephora, let's ask a worker there to give you what products or what shades like work for you, and then like let's sit down and you just play with it like, I'll do my makeup and you follow along, yeah yeah, yeah, but also because you don't want you don't want to look like you're really wearing makeup?
Speaker 1:yeah, like I don't mind if it't want to look like you're really wearing makeup yeah, like I don't mind if it looks like a better version of me, but like yeah, my dark, which I'm not until I get filler.
Speaker 3:I just want to like have I'm not amazing at like no makeup. Makeup either. I sometimes will, yeah, just do the tinted moisturizer by itself, or I'll do like my regular uncolored moisturizer with like a little bit of a bronzing drop or something, and then I might just like pat in like a liquid blush or something and then do all of her. But I'm not the girls that are like good at that type of thing, like I'm thinking of Sophia is that her name? Sophia Richie? I feel like the girls that are really like good at like minimalist makeup.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they have perfect skin and they are already glowy and so it's. It's like I don't even know what they're doing, yeah.
Speaker 1:Like I just want to look. I don't so when I did, for I did attempt, by the way, revolution they're doing. Yeah, like I just want to look. I don't so when I did, for I did attempt, by the way, revolution came out with the men's line which they have since discontinued. But there was a creator.
Speaker 2:He was the only one. I was the only one, yeah.
Speaker 1:This creator on Tik TOK. This dude like, did, do like a. Here's what I would do with this makeup. I bought the exact stuff he me and it was fine yeah but I could.
Speaker 3:I don't want to look like I have foundation or like I have powder on yeah I just wouldn't, and even if, but you also don't want to be shiny correct, so it's which is hard, because a lot of the time the girls who do um like a, do like a, no makeup it's like is like more dewy because they're, they aren't like mattifying themselves, so it's kind of like the moisture tension, moisturizer, moisturizer and the, the liquid products, the liquid blush, liquid bronzer, the liquid, whatever, and and then not wearing um powder, but you also need the powder to not be shiny, right? So, like I would have just been, like I'm, let's do my makeup with me, like sit next to me and like follow the steps.
Speaker 3:I don't know if it would have been exactly what you're looking for. Like I could have been. Like here's how I apply my concealer. Yeah. But so I think it's probably good You're going to a cause. I am not a professional, by any means.
Speaker 1:We'll see. Like it wasn't that expensive. So I was like, okay, well, why not? Because then, if I like, have someone show me, I buy the product she uses on me and then I have my shoot on saturday. Then I don't need to hire a makeup artist yeah because, like they're like, I feel like I do, I do a really I'm really good at photoshop, so I know that I can like give myself an edit yeah but there's something to just like having a natural cover-up rather than like a photoshop cover-up.
Speaker 3:That just feels a little better yeah, because also the the male makeup artists that I watch do female makeup. Right. They're not just doing a television or a photo. Look, they're putting on lashes and contour and all that. I haven't learned what you're looking for, what it even looks like, so that's fun. You should vlog it.
Speaker 1:I did consider that Like okay, here we go.
Speaker 3:I'm really trying to talk myself into or out of, I don't know. There's a new camera. There's. It's not new. There's a camera that I want.
Speaker 1:That like vloggers use.
Speaker 3:Yes, it's the Canon, like V shot why?
Speaker 1:don't you sell the one you currently have and then just like put it towards it?
Speaker 3:I know, but I also feel like I need to keep that because it is good for, like, sit down things. It's this camera, oh cute.
Speaker 1:I've never seen that. And oh is it your bow? Yes, do you want to answer real quick? What a sweet man checking in.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he um has started. Obviously baseball season has come back around.
Speaker 1:So it's back to Truthfully, didn't even know it ended at any point.
Speaker 3:It ends in October every year, and right now, what national thing is going on with sports?
Speaker 1:Yes, it's March, madness.
Speaker 3:Oh, good job.
Speaker 1:It's in the month.
Speaker 3:It's in the name. It is in the name. Okay, march Madness.
Speaker 1:Oh, good job. It's in the month, it's in the name it is in the name Okay, back to camera.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, so.
Speaker 1:Can you show me again, yeah?
Speaker 3:So, um, I follow someone who uses it and that's why I looked it up, cause I was looking at a different who makes it DJI Canon, so I was looking at a DJ one that is that does the little like flippy yeah, it's like a vertical one, and then I came across this one and I like this better. Honestly, not a bad price point I know and I have a best buy credit card. So I have been like should I just do it and pay it off? But I don't know like.
Speaker 1:My phone is fine for vlogging, it's just I feel like you you're more intentional when you take a camera.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I'm kind of sick of using my phone, but I don't need it Like I'm not hurting for it. So it's kind of me just being like I want it. Yeah, so we'll see it is not like the most expensive, it's $400.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not bad it is. That is like still kind of expensive.
Speaker 3:But anyway, I don't know how I got there. Vlog oh, you should vlog my makeup experience. Yeah.
Speaker 1:We'll see, but when you guys are listening to this, if you're listening on Monday, I'm. It's being happening. It's happening right now.
Speaker 3:Fun. Where is what? Um is he or like? Where are you?
Speaker 1:He has a studio. Good, His name is Jimmy Cute. Let's go, Jimmy. He does a lot of like. If it goes well, I'll probably book him again because he does a lot of different kinds of sessions and he does this one. That's like art. He calls it. Well, I forget it's art something, but it's like using light in like really unique, cool ways, just for fun. Editorial photos. That's fun. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, I'm interested to see the photos. Keep it posted. I watched running point.
Speaker 1:What did you think? I loved it. It's cute.
Speaker 3:I had a really fun time. It is like, um, the the shots of the basketball are so weird, Like it, just it doesn't look real to me. It's not, it's not real.
Speaker 1:You mean weird, like they. Just it doesn't look real to me, it's all. It's not real. You mean when they're playing. When they're playing, it looks like they're trying to make the stadium look huge and it's just like it's very small, you can tell.
Speaker 3:And I was like where, like, how are they shooting this, where are they shooting this?
Speaker 3:and josh was like I think that it is like a sound stage that they and they put created and so I was like I guess maybe that's why, because most of the chair, most of the like seats are chairs like black chairs, so that, for one, I think, is what first made me be like this doesn't look right. And then, because it is, the camera is so close. Yeah, like normally, I feel like if you're shooting basketball things and you shoot it in an arena or in like a college arena like, even if it's on a NBA arena, like one that is bigger, you do get like the more pulled out overhead shots and that to me, those don't happen it doesn't happen.
Speaker 3:So then it looks. It just looks really small and looks really just. It just looked weird, yeah, so that I was like those are kind of silly, but it is like a fun. I had fun watching it. I enjoyed it. I'm excited for more. Is there more? Like it got renewed it did yeah so that's great something I just saw a billboard as I was driving here is that the last season of the handmaid's tale starts so soon. April like eighth. Thank God the final season.
Speaker 1:I'll finally finish it then, cause I just want to know what concludes, and and then you know it's gotta be victorious somehow.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I honestly forget everything and I'm not willing, I can't go back and watch it again, obviously, so I don't know. Hopefully there's a good recap or maybe I can look up a YouTube video to remind me, because so much has happened. Yeah, and I know that spoiler alert if you haven't watched it, but I know they kill Waterford, waterford. Yeah, but was that the last season or was that the season before?
Speaker 3:oh, I think three seasons before see like I don't know what has happened in what's her name is not in prison anymore, right? Or is she offered no um the the mean wife?
Speaker 1:oh, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 3:I feel like she's not because they get on a train together right like I. Truly I don't, I don't know. I feel like she's not because they get on a train together right like I. Truly I don't know how, like when things happened I think, what season it was when it happened.
Speaker 1:I am very confused the last thing I remember she's like not the president, but she's like the spokesperson for oh yeah, like there's a um, she like goes back to the bad side yeah, and she's like they're also annoying, it is like what what is her name, she went.
Speaker 3:She's like gone back and forth so much christine in the show yeah, I'm trying to hear offered saying it serena, serena, serena waterford and remember during the election, when all the outfits looked like like um, ivanka's outfits were serena outfits and we don't know if that was on purpose or not, but I hated that. Yeah, speaking of this is like not the political side of it, but how crazy is the whole like group text thing?
Speaker 1:Insane.
Speaker 3:How is that possible, like I don't understand. This is the American government. Everything is under lock and key. We you can't get into buildings with clearance without clearances and you can't do all these things. But there is a group chat on a random app that, like random people, can get added to.
Speaker 1:Absolutely insane.
Speaker 3:And no one's owning up to it. They're all just like that. Yeah, it wasn't classified information and I don't know the number, just like that. Yeah, it wasn't classified information. I can't and I don't know the number, just like Appeared there, like what is going on.
Speaker 1:And then today, canada declared they're not our friends anymore.
Speaker 3:I thought that was a while ago.
Speaker 1:No Today.
Speaker 3:Oh, something else happened. Yeah, okay, they were like we don't like you. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:He was like I don't. The relationship that we once had with the united states is over, is exactly what he said you guys, I can't.
Speaker 3:No one likes us anymore it's hard to be an american. It's funny. Well, not to get too um sad. But yikes to all of that. Um something else. Oh, I saw on the news that, uh, selena gomez no, oh, selena's killer, yolanda, is about to come out.
Speaker 1:No, she got denied.
Speaker 3:She got denied because I kept seeing tiktoks of people being like if Yolanda.
Speaker 1:If she's out, she's dead. If Yolanda gets out like yeah, she would have to go into.
Speaker 3:We're like we're going after her. Yeah and yeah, she was up. I think it was supposed to be in May and they denied it until 2030. There'll be another review in 2030. But in her family's like I saw a quote of her family being like enough is enough.
Speaker 3:She feels like she's served her time and a woman is gone forever and and like, pretending I don't I forget the quote. So like this is alleged on my part because, like I don't know, but somewhere in the quote it giving like and she was wrongfully accused, or like, and it's like what we're maintaining, that like we're trying to say that she didn't do it. Why aren't we just being like she has? She's a changed person, and she and, and she has learned and she wants to.
Speaker 3:You know, do good things in the world it's like no, she didn't do it. And also she feels that she served her time and and she she deserves to be out, like you killed someone you have, you've if you happen to get out on parole like you, better thank your lucky stars for one like and not be arrogant about it like yeah, what anyway? But 2030 is the new time so we'll see in five years that's not long enough.
Speaker 3:Like people are not going to feel differently, no, in five years than they do right now. Like you are still going to be, and that's what the parole board said. They were like, if we let her out, like, aside from serving the time for the crime she did, if we let her out, she's at high risk of something happening to her. So, like what do you want? Do you want to be alive and in prison, or do you want to be at risk of someone yeah, killing you because you're out?
Speaker 3:yeah, yolanda yolanda um anything else um. I have things, but I, whatever you, whatever's interesting to you no, no, I just haven't.
Speaker 1:I have uh, Alison advice corner for later.
Speaker 3:Okay, Well.
Speaker 1:Oh, I want to make a public apology.
Speaker 3:To whom?
Speaker 1:Well, you, but here on the record with the listeners. So, guys, I, alison's been such a good friend to me for literally for like 2024. Wish it didn't exist, but it did, and I made it through, largely in part to my best friend, allison, and so, like the least I could, do is come through for her on her 35th birthday.
Speaker 1:And I had to cancel our Disney trip. And it gutted me Because we literally took so much time to plan the day that I would be available, because she was like I'm available this day, this day I have this time we can go, and I was like it's this day only for me, and then I still had to cancel. So I want to say that I'm sorry and I will make it up to you.
Speaker 3:I know.
Speaker 1:You deserve a day at Disney, supported by me, and I support it. Well, here's the thing too, you guys. So I, I was very upset cause I wanted to go, but I, I, you know, whatever then. But Angela was also going. So I thought for sure, I was like, okay, at least she's going to get to go and I was going to send you a little something. And then you guys didn't go.
Speaker 3:Well, because Angela bought the.
Speaker 1:Three-day Cali ticket, but it expires.
Speaker 3:It expires, but when?
Speaker 1:The end of May, oh which. I didn't think was a thing because we're going to go when Megan's here.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And so Angela's going to go that day. So I thought why?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean I text her and I was like hey, when do you want to leave? And she was like oh, I like that's so sad, Like I can change my ticket to whenever, so why don't we just change it and when he can go, and then maybe SAS can go also, if his schedule fits, whatever that day is.
Speaker 1:And I was just like okay, whatever you want, like I was down to go, you should have just said I love that idea, idea, but I really want to go to disney today I have the past.
Speaker 3:Like her, having a deadline is right is more pressing than me because I have committed to another year, so like when is the food and wine festival over?
Speaker 1:that is the big right, right, Cause I do want. I know that.
Speaker 3:That's the reason but it goes for a while.
Speaker 1:I know it does, but let's find out. Anyway, I just wanted to apologize while you look that up, because I it's, I'm not canceling, because she knows nothing, I'm not doing anything else. Fun, it's work.
Speaker 3:Oh, I mean, I totally understand, and I know you do, but it's still I want you to think. I don't prioritize our friendship. I appreciate you thank you. It goes to april 21st, so we do need to get there, yes, but and I almost went alone um god, I would have cried no, because I was like I could just like go, and even if it's like at 8 pm. Yeah. And get a little something. Walk, a little walk.
Speaker 1:Well, did you have fun at the wine party, at least since you didn't get to go to Disney?
Speaker 3:Yes, okay, oh, that was. Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that would have been yesterday.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yes, it was, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:Well anyway, I just wanted to make make a very cute emphasis on that, because I care.
Speaker 3:I appreciate you and I know that and, um, I'm like we'll get there.
Speaker 1:We will, before the end of this, mark my words.
Speaker 3:Yes, we do need to get there by the food and wine festival ticket had that expiration date, so Well, on Wednesday at dodgeball we can coordinate something. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, you guys, I'm sorry. I did not mean God damn it Sorry. Yes, we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out.
Speaker 3:I did get speaking of dodgeball. I, we, my team lost again. We didn't win last week, though oh, I don't know if I said that. Oh you didn't, but we lost this week and I was not having a good time about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cause was it another, like they creamed you.
Speaker 3:No, it wasn't that. Oh no, they did cream us, but it wasn't. They weren't. It wasn't that crazy, but they did really beat us badly. I think we won a couple.
Speaker 1:Wait, did you also have your first?
Speaker 3:cornhole game. We've had two.
Speaker 3:We've done two weeks now oh my god I'll get to that, okay, um, but then at the end someone came up to me and they were like they told me I did a good job, and that I like was my throws were good, even though they weren't really, but maybe they were just hitting on me. But, um, yeah, it was. Yeah, that made me feel better, cause I do feel very like I'm doing nothing, I'm contributing nothing, yeah, but yes, we have now played cornhole two weeks in a row and we thought we were going to be the best, and it turns out there's other Midwestwesterner people that live here. Oh, god and um, they're also good. So we've won both weeks.
Speaker 1:We've lost a match and won a match okay, is this like um building up to a tournament thing?
Speaker 3:yeah, there's a playoff, a playoff okay also, yeah, cute, um, but it is like so far away, like we we didn't realize that basically every week we are gonna be there until 10 and marina del rey and then have to leave marina del rey at 10 yeah, which is not. The traffic isn't bad, but it's like that's why I meant they're like you're there till 10, you're not counting, like we could potentially only be there until nine, because you play two matches and it could be at seven, eight or 9. Pm.
Speaker 1:So similar to Dodge.
Speaker 3:Yes, so it's, either you could do seven and 8. Pm you could do eight and nine or seven and nine, which the first week we did seven and nine. There's trivia that starts at eight, so we've like played a few rounds of trivia. That's kind of fun, yeah, which I like, but we didn't get to finish it. I like, but we didn't get to finish it. So it's kind of like, well, we can never win Right True. But last week I had just started my period. Not to like.
Speaker 3:Stop Remember, we talked about this, oh yeah, and I was in pain and then I got so overwhelmed and what's?
Speaker 1:the word.
Speaker 3:Overstimulated. Overstimulated because there the trivia was happening when we first our first game, um, there were some teams that didn't show up or like weren't playing yet, so there was way less people, yeah, and then by our second game or by the end of that game, people were showing up to play the next time slot got it and then there was all of a sudden so many people around Really it was got so loud.
Speaker 3:And then the trivia was happening over there and I was trying to like be good at throwing and I got so overstimulated that I was just like my eyes, I was just like staring and it was like not a good time for me. This week was better. Okay. I knew what I was getting into more and I wasn't in pain and everything. So it's like going well, but it is. It's a drive to get there.
Speaker 1:No kidding.
Speaker 3:And we just got an email that was like their Valley cornhole starts like coming up, of course, and we were like, wow, we could have saved ourselves a lot of running time. But the reason we're there is because he has friends.
Speaker 1:Friends that are in there. Yeah, so Well that's cool, we got the dodgeball schedule. We only have one 7 pm game, the rest are mostly nine.
Speaker 3:Well, is Michael playing.
Speaker 1:He is.
Speaker 3:So that's good for him. Yes, playing he is, so that's good for him, yes he's like yes we have one, so you're gonna be there late every time pretty much. Someone I played cornhole with said that they used to play dodgeball and they used to play with foam balls and that they they were like surprising. We don't yeah, they were like I don't play with those rubber balls anymore the no hurt.
Speaker 1:That's what they're called. No hurt six inch rubber but foam definitely doesn't hurt. No, I know, but it's like we are not playing with no hurt balls.
Speaker 3:No, and I was wearing shorts this week and my legs were so red because they're actually good at aiming yeah low and I got hit a lot in my legs. What, oh? I was scared because I got um birthday botox this week and it's not kicked in yet. So don't look at me. But I was so afraid that I was going to get, because I got it on Tuesday, but for some reason I was like no, Tuesday night is dodgeball.
Speaker 3:And I was like what if I get hit in the face? Like what's going to happen? I didn't but I was scared.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I would be nervous too.
Speaker 3:So that's funny, so scared. Yeah, I would be nervous too. So that's funny.
Speaker 1:So catch me next week and we'll see what my forehead looks like. It's catch me next week and I'll let you know how. Our first I will.
Speaker 3:I'm excited to hear. Yeah, are you tapped into the? Nikki blonsky? Oh yes of it all okay, so let's rewind to the listeners if you don't know who nikki blonsky is. She is the girl who played the lead in the movie musical Hairspray back in like 2007 or something 2006, 2007. Yeah, she was like a not known actor. They did like a nationwide search.
Speaker 1:Well, that's what they always do for Tracy on Broadway, on stage or in a film. It's always an unknown.
Speaker 3:She got cast and um, it's always an unknown. She got cast and there's so many things that are it's layered, it is layered. So the one thing that's happening now is her cameos are going viral. People are posting the cameos that they get from her because, no matter what it is, she always starts out singing one of the songs from the movie. Matter what it is, she always starts out singing one of the songs from the movie. I saw one today.
Speaker 3:That was this girl. Her friend got it a cameo for her to cheer her up because her sister had just died. And she opens it by being like without love, life is like a seal. And then she's like I, whatever your name is, um, I just wanted to tell you I heard that your sister passed. And then she's like uh, whatever your name is, um, I just wanted to tell you, I heard that your sister passed and and she starts crying, nikki does and she's like and I just wanted to let you know that you're never gonna be without love. It's crazy. This girl's sister died. I don't know if like, what the dynamic is with the friend and like did, was it meant to be like lighthearted? And funny.
Speaker 3:Was this a serious thing, like I don't know, but it was wild, wow. So people are posting the cameos because, like she, they order them, they. She used to do them for 20, which is basically what I do. No, I think that mine are 30 and but, first of all, no one's getting cameos for me. If you want to, you can, I'm available that's ad floria but they were 20 and she they would buy it. And she does it immediately yeah and then it gets.
Speaker 3:She sends it right away. Like I um, I never do it immediately, even if it's a 24-hour turnaround like I try to get it yeah, obviously I get it in the 24 hours, but I'm like I have to think about it and I have to like prepare myself and I want to like look good, because I feel like if this is a gift for someone, if it's someone that's like this is just for myself, like I just wanted to say hi or um, I wanted like a little bit of motivation, like I still would probably try to look good, but if this is like this is a birthday present for someone, like I'm like I want to make sure I have makeup on and like my lighting's okay and I'm like giving, saying, like thinking about what I'm she just has a template, though.
Speaker 3:That's why she does the same thing every time yeah, which is what todrick hall um did, and he got in trouble for saying that on big brother when he was on there. He was like I literally say the exact same thing to everyone and like I just like churn out like 50 of them a day out because I just like say the exact same thing, whatever.
Speaker 1:And people were like oh okay, like I don't want to pay you money for you to not like care about what you're doing I did see, too, that she said someone interviewed her because she was like I got contacted by Cameo and they were like you have a hundred that are due today. Yeah, you have to raise your price. So she raised it to a hundred or something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, which like.
Speaker 1:I think people would still pay for the joke of it.
Speaker 3:Right now, for sure. So, she should capitalize on it. But so then, aside from that, she's also videos of her going viral for when she was on the Hairspray press tour. So embarrassing. Because she was clearly in love with Zac Efron, which, like we all were at the time. Yes, we were and they he. He does the thing where he, whoever, whatever show movie he's promoting, if it's a love interest, like he like pretends like that he is in love with this person or they have a relationship or whatever he's done it with.
Speaker 3:He did in high school musical. Obviously they were dating, but he what's another movie that he was in like not too long ago that he did this with in the last couple years I don't know, baywatch yes, was that with um alexandra did darian yeah, like he they were flirting and people were like, oh, are they together, like they're so touchy, they're so flirty, whatever. So he was doing this with her, but she was clearly in love with him because one she was a normie, like she just like got cast in this movie.
Speaker 3:She people haven't even seen the movie probably at this time because they're doing the press tour for it. And she's she's like giggling and people and he's like so, like you like big girls. And he's like, yeah, I totally like big girls. And she's like, yeah, because, and we can shake it, and so it's wild, these videos of their press tour. And it's it's like yeah, and we can shake it, and so it's wild, these videos of their press tour. And it's like sad, you feel bad, because you're like he was like secretly dating Vanessa or he was dating Vanessa, he was.
Speaker 3:I'm pretty sure at that time.
Speaker 1:He was Because, remember, did you see like the interviews outside of Hairspray of her, like when she was on Wendy Williams?
Speaker 3:Yeah, and she's like do you think they're going to last forever? And she's like no sorry the love you, girl, he's for me or something like we're meant to be or something like that. And it's like, oh okay, so videos of that are also going viral. And then she's like people are like, hey, don't you remember this terrible thing that happened? And now she's like being canceled for this. But I didn't know this, so I had to look it up. Do you know the deets or do you? Should I read?
Speaker 1:An America's Next Top Model contestant was at the airport same time as Nikki Blonsky. Yeah, and there was an altercation of some sort. And then the girl falls and Nikki and her mother like back away and don't help her and they're assholes about it.
Speaker 3:Okay, Something about her dad, like got arrested Right and then and the mom someone had to be airlifted. Hold on, I have to go back.
Speaker 1:While she's looking, while you're looking that up, I will say another interview that's very cringy of hers is, I think it's entertainment tonight and it's when, like Zach Efron, was in rehab. No, I tell me like have you talked to Zach? And she's like yes, and they're like what did you say when you picked up the phone? She goes I love you, I'm here for you and it's so she's still in love.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, I don't know what, I don't know, I don't either. What the deal is so. Everyone's like what's happened to her teeth.
Speaker 1:She just like your teeth move.
Speaker 3:This one podcast was like it's meth, that's a meth mouth oh, really, I was like I guess I think, oh okay, I just was like your teeth move and like, if people are like it's drugs, it seems to allegedly allegedly well. That is sad, but like I don't think that she was really able to really make a career, no from hairspray, I think she is great in the movie great yeah, but then lost her marbles yeah, so I can understand like you go.
Speaker 3:You go from being a regular person to being very famous in a humongous movie and like being treated so differently and being a star, whatever, and then going to back to really nothing, like I'm sure that that is not great on the mind because, like, didn't she go back to doing hair? Wasn't she a hairstylist or something?
Speaker 1:no, she was in a tv show where she played like a lesbian and then she did like a couple made for tv movies she has, she done broadway no, interesting. What were you looking up? Oh, the um.
Speaker 3:So this is in 2008 is when this happened. Okay, here's where I started. Nikki Blonsky and her father, arrested on assault charges following a brawl involving America's X top model, bianca golden. Now, seeing this picture, I remember Bianca Um, the 19 year old actress, was released on bail while her father remained in jail. Um golden was also arrested and released on bail while her father remained in jail. Um golden was also arrested and released on bail, and her mother was hospitalized with serious injuries.
Speaker 3:According to the police department and the Turks and Caicos islands, the fight erupted in the departure lounge of the airport after everyone had gone through security. Things got out of hand and an argument over seats in the departure lounge, and several people were involved were involved in the altercation. There were injuries Dang. The father was charged with grievous bodily harm, meaning the victim was injured so severely they needed immediate medical care, has a five-year maximum sentence and he was in jail for nine days. So it was in the seat in the lounge, not even an airplane seat, correct? So were they both like? We're both famous. Who gets the better?
Speaker 1:but there is video.
Speaker 3:Nikki like takes video and it's like really making some and there is like racial slurs right from nikki Nikki's family. I don't. I'm not seeing a video right away, so I'll have to do. I'll have to do some more digging um on my own and you guys can too, but yeah.
Speaker 3:So now people are remembering that this happened and they're like wait, you guys are, you know, don't idolize her. This happened, yeah, and I whatever the racial slurs are like, that's obviously the part that is, people get in fights all the time and it just means like you're just like kind of an annoying and not good person to start a fight over something stupid. It's not cancelable, it's just like okay, like what? What is so serious that you need to fight over? Yeah, the racial part is like the part, but it's also like this was almost 20 years ago. Is it possible that she has learned, grown? I?
Speaker 1:don't think she done the work.
Speaker 3:Oh no, yeah, correct. I heard someone say that she released something in 2020. Oh, but maybe not.
Speaker 3:Again, I don't have all the facts. If that were the case, then should she be let freed of the. If she apologized, if she was like I shouldn't have done those things, I shouldn't have said those things. I don't know Like is she allowed to be um how people like her. I may be, but I think she's just been made too much into like a if she if she has, if she like is 10 toes down on whatever she said and did, and that time then like yeah, that's tbd.
Speaker 1:We might have to come back to that wild and she like shouldn't be idolized.
Speaker 3:That's crazy to, in almost 20 years, not be able to be like hey, I shouldn't have done and said those things. That was really horrible of me and I'm really sorry about it. What?
Speaker 1:we'll need to do a little more research.
Speaker 3:We'll have to see is that about a bad take on my part?
Speaker 1:no, it's not a take. You had no, no opinion about it.
Speaker 3:No, I know, I'm just saying, but like, if it is, if the take is in this world where she did apologize, like is she, should she still be being canceled?
Speaker 1:I think it's tricky for me to have an opinion on because like I don't think she was very well liked even before that. She just kind of was like tolerated, but we're very annoyed by her yeah and I don't know.
Speaker 3:Like, when someone does something that is actually an offense and not just an annoyance but they're already an annoying person it makes it harder to let them back, be like because yeah no, now we've canceled you and we don't have to deal with your annoyance yeah, I think like if someone says something that is offensive and then years go by, they like make it a point to show that they are sorry, they're upset, they care, they've done work, they've you know, they put their time into positive things and all that.
Speaker 3:I think that it's still valid for people to be like look like we forgive you, but like we still have our eye on you because you said it. That means at one time it was in you. That could have been learned, that could have been your environment and you know you learn from your parents, you learn from where you live, you learn from wherever, and it is possible that you can unlearn that, but you kind of got to keep a little eye on it to be like hey, right, because like when we were young, you know, the r word was something that was thrown around all the time, or the f?
Speaker 1:slur or whatever, and we were like but apparently the r word is becoming more tolerable again, which what? I was listening to, a podcast where they were just saying, where they were saying that that's wild.
Speaker 3:That's not going to be something I'm adopting, but I'm just saying like we were kids and we were saying things that now we would never say and we are so aware that are offensive, and but we were in middle school and we now would be like, yeah, we would never say those things again, because that's a horrible thing to say I don't know off, I guess off topic it's kind of on topic, we'll see.
Speaker 3:We'll see what happens with nikki yeah make your bag, I guess if that's the only way she's making money and people are buying it, like that's on the people that are buying it, like they should stop. But it's also they're making fun of her and it's like, well, what I yeah, I guess, capitalize on it, but do you know that people are making fun of you? Do you think?
Speaker 3:oh, that's the other part she doesn't get it I don't think she gets it because if it were me and I was like these people are making fun of me, but I I'm gonna up my price. If they're gonna still buy it, then like, yeah, I'll say what you want me to say in a, you know, a reasonable way and I'll take your money because, like, you're stupid enough to be giving it to me when you don't like me. But if she's not tapped in and she, like, is thinking that it's good that is the part that's unclear. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'm confused by all of it.
Speaker 3:And do you think that she has spoken to Zac Efron?
Speaker 1:No, I don't think they've spoken in years Ever.
Speaker 3:Do you think that the whole rehab thing was a lie?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think that's what I mean, Like I don't believe her. Oh, I thought it was like like called him and he was not answering the phone for Nikki Blonsky while he's in rehab.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry. I pictured like her picking up the phone, as she says, and she calls him and he's like hello, and she's like Zach, it's me. And he's like oh hi, I just wanted to tell you that I am so, I'm thinking about you and he's like thanks thanks, no, because it's a rehab. They scream your boss. All right, I gotta go.
Speaker 1:Bye I don't think he's getting. I mean, they're like hey, nikki Blonsky's on the phone.
Speaker 3:And he's like I'm tired, yeah, I gotta go. Well, I don't know. I guess we'll keep an eye on Nikki.
Speaker 1:Because, also last, because we've been talking about her for an hour at the time of her doing those interviews, the internet wasn't really like no, you can verify these things. So when she's on an entertainment tonight segment she's not thinking like someone's going to post a tick talk about how they heard from their source that this, that's not happening, it's hearsay.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So, she could say whatever she wants, and no one's going to go through her phone records or his phone record and she's harmless, he would have to be like no, I have not spoken to her and he doesn't care.
Speaker 2:His publicist too, is not like let's go on the record and clear this up like no, whatever, nikki yeah, you might have a restraining order.
Speaker 3:To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised okay, well, and on that note, um, today is the 31st and our birthdays are doing birthdays. I have two more things oh, you do, oh, okay, sorry we need to update on fire fest.
Speaker 1:I forgot to look it up oh but is there any news? Is there, are there any updates? I haven't heard anything, but let me, I've been talking to people about it for the last like week and a half people do not know.
Speaker 3:I'm like no guys, I'm showing people the instagram because I'm like look speaking of this is off topic, but I just watched an interview of Mike the situation and he when he was in jail for his tax stuff. So he was in jail with Billy Like they were in the same place.
Speaker 1:Just like. So he's going to be headlining FireFest too.
Speaker 3:Well, what is Mike going to do? Polly would be the one. Oh yeah, that's. Polly He'll host would be the one.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's Polly He'll host.
Speaker 3:So seven hours ago. Let's see what this says. Firefest 2 founder switches locations with just weeks to go. No freaking way. The man behind Firefest is back with another attempt, but the plan is already looking a little shady. Yeah, we know. Last month he claimed the festival will be hate on Mexico's Isla Mujeres, only for officials to say, as far as they knew, the event didn't exist.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no permits.
Speaker 3:Now. It will be held in Playa del Carmen. Oh. I've been there. With room for 1,800 guests, who can choose between several five-star resorts. This is not happening, he claims there will be 40 musical performances, although so far only one confirmed is controversial retired NFL player, antonio Brown. However, it's not clear what he would be performing.
Speaker 1:You've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 3:This has to be a joke.
Speaker 1:What the?
Speaker 3:Now I feel like it is a joke.
Speaker 1:You went through the whole process of buying a ticket and it exists.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's like the landing process of buying a ticket and it exists. It does. Yes, like the landing page for buying a ticket exists. I didn't actually purchase it, so I don't know what would happen if I tried to, because, guess what, I am not. If it was like a $40 ticket, I might do it, but the lowest is $1,400.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then 1.5, 1.2, 1.1, 1.anity. I can't wait to. Every week I'm excited to see what else develops, because we're so close to the show. Yeah. Insanity. You guys. What was your second thing? Okay, so welcome to my dating corner, where I oh yeah, you have it, you need advice.
Speaker 3:Stanley can we pause for Stanley's mouth noises please?
Speaker 1:When it's funny, I can't hear them stan, it's enough, okay, okay. So in my, my dating life is not.
Speaker 3:There's nothing really happening I canceled a date that was happening tonight. Okay, so I can give you here it is so.
Speaker 1:You know that I'm like a hopeless romantic, so if anyone shows me any little bit of attention, I think what's it gonna be?
Speaker 1:ten years I've gotten a handle on that part, like that extremeness of it, but I do still think like, wow, the kids would be cute, you know, things like that, yeah, um, so this one particular person is like I have not been hung up on someone in my head in a long time like this, okay, and I think I have a hypothesis that it's because of this factor, maybe, the like they're unattainable, but this is my. I am curious what your take is on having and handling a crush on someone who's off limits because they're already in a committed relationship. How do you feel about that? What do you think? What do you think about that?
Speaker 3:are you interacting with this person a lot? No okay, being good so no like are you in the proximity of this person? A?
Speaker 1:lot. No, so we met last week. Okay, we met two weeks ago and we're around each other for a good bit of days, for a lot of time, but we never interacted. We just kept looking at each other like it was like so much tension, okay that it was palpable. People were telling me. They were like, hey, so what the hell is going on with you?
Speaker 3:and this person okay and then and this person's in a long-term relationship like how long is?
Speaker 1:so then, like I stalked them on instagram on day two and I was like, oh my, he's so cute, um, and from what I could see, he's been with this person that it seems like a partner. It's not blatantly like this is my person, but there's like pictures in the carousels that would allude to that, since, like 2016. Long.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:And so I was like I'm going to be respectful. Yeah. I'm not going to do anything. And then I got tipsy at brunch last week and followed him on Instagram. Yeah. And he immediately followed me back. Okay. And again we literally haven't spoken to each other.
Speaker 3:It's just been this like oh, you didn't speak to each other at all, you just looked at each other.
Speaker 1:Like a lot and like so. You don't know, his voice could be an ick, oh no no, I've you heard him in the same group doing stuff.
Speaker 1:We just never specifically spoke one-on-one. No, I could. Literally not a nick at all he is. If I could write everything down for, like my dream person that I don't know very well. Um, there it is. All the boxes are checked, and so I added him. He immediately added me back. We have not interacted on instagram and I've been asking a few people what their take is, and the opinions are all over the board. So, as someone that knows me very well, what's your thoughts on this? I'm not trying to break up a marriage.
Speaker 1:I want to be clear and he's not married yeah, yeah, okay, I'm not trying to throw a wrench in anything, but to me, me, it's like well, because it's gay world.
Speaker 3:He could be in a long term committed relationship, but also be in an open relationship.
Speaker 1:Right, which I want to say for the record. I'm not interested in starting a relationship with someone that wants to be in an open relationship.
Speaker 3:Right, I was going to say I believe that that's not what you would want to be a part of Correct. So I think that you, I think that if he is flirting with you and he is, which he's not if he were to flirt with you and he is in a relationship.
Speaker 3:That's bad news. Red flag Bye, that's bad news. Red flag, yeah, bye. If you having a crush on him and he's unattainable, like you can't do anything about that, you just have to, from afar, be like you're cute, maybe treat him like a celebrity, like well, okay, let me tell you like you, like I can have a crush on, but I know that nothing is going to happen, so I'm just going to, like you know, think about it.
Speaker 1:Anyway. So some advice I got yesterday that I'm curious. Your take was like you don't know what kind of a situation he's in and when it comes to like there's not I don't want to say roles, there's not roles. I'm more of the dominant person.
Speaker 1:Seems that he is of the personality type that would be like I'm not making this first move okay so that if I were to be like, hey, I really wish that I had said hey to you when you were in, like at when you were around last. I don't want to give too many specifics about where I saw this person, but, um, I wish I had said hi to you during having spent so much time together.
Speaker 3:Um, but anyway, retroactively, it's so nice to meet you and then see if there's a conversation do you not know anyone who, like, actually knows this person well enough to ask the people like what the deal is?
Speaker 1:so the people that know him well enough I'm not very close to- and no, no one that you know there's one person I know that would be able to figure it out, but I'm afraid that they would be way too like loose-lipped and too much information would get out.
Speaker 1:And I'm not again, I'm not trying to mess anything up, but I'm like a little curious to dip my toe in and see like maybe this person isn't a romantic partner anymore because the last post with them that I would be like this kind of looks like they could be together was in january yeah, I mean, if you message him and you say what you wanted to say, it's on him on, if he's in a relationship, it's on him for how he responds.
Speaker 3:True, he either says, hey, so nice to meet you too, um, and maybe he just shuts it, he just says, leaves it like very professional, and then you probably know one he's either in a relationship or he's not interested.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which, honestly, then I would have my answer and I can stop thinking about our life.
Speaker 3:If he, um, you know, says something flirty back that makes you, that continues the conversation and makes you think, then I think you're open to be like okay, well, I just have to ask, like, based on your post, like it looks like you might be in a relationship, and I'm obviously not trying to get in the middle of that, but I do want to know before I like yeah, because I'm not continue this conversation if you're in a relationship or not, and then there, then he will say yes or no.
Speaker 3:If he's like I am, but like I am so attracted to you, then you can be like okay, ew. I'd be like, god damn, that's nice, but you can be like that's really nice to hear and I I wish the circumstances were different.
Speaker 3:It was different, and then you kind of just have to get out of there. And if, if the universe brings you back together in a place where, like, you are interested because, like, if he's like I'm, we're open, are you, do you want to date me? And you're like no, but if you know something happens, if you leave it, if you leave it alone and you just like go on being your cute little self, and then they break up and he's like, hey, like I want to take you out, I'm not, I'm no longer in a relationship, then, like you know all that's true, everything, like everything happened by the books and there's no like bad juju or karma or karma coming from. Like, uh, you like getting in the middle of a relationship.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's how you would have to play it but I don't think that there's any harm in you saying hey, I wish I said hi to you because it's on him how he responds because, truly, like I think you knowing me, you know I have to say something or I'm never going to stop thinking about this, even if it's the end and I can just put the like gavel to it. I just just am like find myself just like fantasizing about like yeah, I don't think there's any harmony you saying I and seeing what the response is.
Speaker 1:I'll show you his. I'll show you him after this he's so cute.
Speaker 3:I am very curious.
Speaker 1:Anyway. So I think I'm going to have to just slide into the DMS and take it from there. Yeah, you might as well okay, what are the b days?
