I have a question.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:You have 13 bananas, yes, in your kitchen.
Speaker 2:I normally have two bunches.
Speaker 1:Okay, what? How do you go through that many before they go bad?
Speaker 2:I've had four today.
Speaker 1:Okay, and what way do you consume them?
Speaker 2:I always have like two in the morning, one in the afternoon and then like well, that's not always the case. I always have two in the morning, then I will have one on the way to a workout, and then when I want a snack or something at night that satisfies me, sometimes I'll put a little bit of peanut butter on the tip.
Speaker 1:Just the tip. Okay, I just wondered. I counted them and I was like that's so many bananas, it is.
Speaker 2:Well, here's what happened. So when I was getting my bananas and I was picking some of the good ones, I put a bunch in the like basket part of my cart and then was like, okay, those are good, but I'm going to look for better. Found two better, Put them in the main part of the cart and then went about my way. Ah, you forgot. I realized it before I got to the checkout and then I was like no, I do eat enough these and that's totally fine, and it you know so they will be gone by Sunday.
Speaker 2:That's wild Saturday actually. And then I do it all over again on Sunday.
Speaker 1:I mean, it could be worse.
Speaker 2:It could be worse.
Speaker 1:It could be meth. I'm just kidding. Always meth in this intro, not starting meth again. Welcome back to the A-List Podcast with Allison and. Alex, I'm Allison.
Speaker 2:I'm Alex.
Speaker 1:And Stanley is running him up.
Speaker 2:I threw his ball and you say he's gotta go get it. Come here, bubba, good boy.
Speaker 1:Nice.
Speaker 2:How are you?
Speaker 1:I am good. Today is Tuesday.
Speaker 2:You have some sun. Were you out in the sun.
Speaker 1:I was. I got burnt in one spot Nope, my chest. I was at the beach watching Joshua play football on Saturday and I was so good about putting on sunscreen, but it was kind of windy and my face was good this was Saturday. This was Saturday and I, but it was kind of cold still, so I was wearing a long sleeve shirt, but my legs I was.
Speaker 1:The sunscreen got on the legs but for some reason my chest it did not reach there when, I was spraying for some reason, so I got very burnt on my chest, but some of this is just bronzer also.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, it's a nice glow. Also, she didn't wear sunscreen at the beach on Sunday and turned into a lobster.
Speaker 1:I did try. That's why I was so confused, because I, as soon as I got there, I sprayed myself down the house, down boots and sunscreen, h to T literally. And I got home and my whole chest was red, but just this circle right here.
Speaker 2:So you avoided the cleave, for some reason.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, I think truly, I think it was the, the wind, sure, the wind took it Bye. Yeah, I don't know, I think truly, I think it was the wind. Sure, the wind took it.
Speaker 2:Bye sunscreen.
Speaker 1:So that was my Saturday, and that was that.
Speaker 2:What was your Sunday?
Speaker 1:Watching the Pacers lose. Oh, I'm sorry about that Game two. They lost game two. Game three is tomorrow. Like it's a whole thing, my whole life is. Are they in game two?
Speaker 2:game three is tomorrow like it's a whole thing, like whole life is are they in game three?
Speaker 1:game three. Yeah, game three is tomorrow, so they. The series is one and one so there's five games it's a seven game series, if they need it okay, so it's a single elimination?
Speaker 2:no, because they were, they lost correct.
Speaker 1:It's not single elimination like this is the finals and there's, this will be the champion whoever? Wins this series. So they have to win four games of the series so everyone plays all seven games yes and then whoever has the most wins wins the big trophy yeah, so sometimes it's like people just win like three in a row and then maybe someone wins one and then the next one is over. Sometimes they go to actually seven games.
Speaker 2:How many teams are in the finals?
Speaker 1:Just two.
Speaker 2:What.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, I see what you mean. Yeah, so, like the last series that I was talking about against the Knicks, that was the semifinals. So there was four teams playing, okay, the East and the West.
Speaker 2:And now it's one from the East, one from the West, correct, and it's one from the.
Speaker 1:East, one from the.
Speaker 2:West Correct and it's Pacers for the East.
Speaker 1:And the Oklahoma City Thunder from the West, Both teams that like really you know aren't like the big hitters of, so it's kind of like a fun thing for small town people. Has anyone fun saying the national anthem, which Oklahoma really isn't in the West? Now that I'm thinking about it?
Speaker 2:Well, Indiana is really not in the East.
Speaker 1:Right, there's not a central. I guess they both would be central, maybe. If wait, what was your question has?
Speaker 2:anyone fun saying the national anthem.
Speaker 1:I've not not seen any national anthems. I think it probably isn't televised.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's weird. I mean, it was when Fergie did it.
Speaker 1:What was that for?
Speaker 2:The Super Bowl Some basketball game.
Speaker 1:It might have been the All-Star game. Oh God, I don't know. Or maybe I just don't know, but I haven't seen them. I've been at bars mostly, so they might also not be showing that bar. They're not really concerned about that. But weirdly so, we watched game two at Barney's Beanery, which is a famous West Hollywood, which is a famous bar here that has been around forever. I heard something about Marilyn Monroe used to go there.
Speaker 2:Did you watch in the theater room?
Speaker 1:No, just wait, there's a theater room at that one.
Speaker 2:There's a room where they have like theater type seating, but it's like a tape, like bar tables.
Speaker 1:But isn't that the Burbank one?
Speaker 2:No, it's one in west hollywood because a friend of mine rented it out for the oscars one year and we got to sit in there that's fun.
Speaker 1:I have sat there at the. They have also that at the burbank one oh, they do downstairs. I've sat there for that, um, to watch something else, but no, we were just in the bar area, and so our server was an indiana gal what does that mean?
Speaker 1:she was from indianapolis and originally and she went to iu and she was like, okay, so weirdly, like this is a pacer's bar oh because so there's a nicks bar that josh goes to, that is 33 taps in silver lake, and, like this man moved here from new york, that was a big knicks fan and he just like made it the next bar and so every next game it's like huge crowd of people that go to watch there, nice. And so we were at barney's and she was like, yeah, like a lot of people that are pacers fans like come here, and so then it started filling up with people in like pacers jerseys and I was like, well, this is so cool. I thought we were literally the only people from Indiana yeah that cared, so that was a fun thing.
Speaker 2:Except we lost, so it wasn't fun yeah, but at least you had like camaraderie around you yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So that was my Sunday. What was your? I know you had a.
Speaker 2:I had a lovely weekend I had like maybe the best weekend of my life you text me at 6 am which day saturday I feel what did I? And I?

Speaker 2:be I don't know. Okay, I was like, is it going to be some really depressing hot goss? But I don't know it was in fact that I was an idiot.

Speaker 2:But guys, those of you that have been sending me well wishes and happy thoughts. They really are working out. I love that, but, guys those of you that have been sending me well wishes and happy thoughts they really are working out. Thanks so much oh my gosh what.
Speaker 1:There's lots of noises happening in here.
Speaker 2:Wait what? I have headphones on, I don't hear anything.
Speaker 1:Something just went on in the kitchen. Hold on, it's done now.
Speaker 2:Well, it's probably my water cooler, oh.
Speaker 1:Turning on to cool my water. Okay Well, I just got a pain in my chest.
Speaker 2:Like your heart.
Speaker 1:Oh, you got. Okay, I have something to say. So, I finally got the courage to make a doctor's appointment.
Speaker 2:Okay, Like a okay Gynecological Rewind. No, no, no. I'm really good about eye doctor Making other people. Oh Sorry, I'll let you talk.
Speaker 1:Thanks. I'm really good at going to the eye doctor every when I need to yearly or whatever every six months, and going to the dentist twice a year and going to the gynecologist Like I'm really good at those things, but I'm bad at just like general practitioner yeah, like yearly physicals or whatever. I'm not good at those and I get like a lot of I have a lot of health anxiety.
Speaker 1:Yes, Everyone white coat white coat syndrome, just like general anxiety. Every time I go to the doctor, no matter what it is, they're like you have high blood pressure. And I'm like, um no, I'm just very anxious. Okay, I'm freaking out. I don't like being here. It really stresses me out and I'm like look, can you just like retake my blood pressure at the end of the appointment, when I'm like calm down, cause it's always right at the beginning and it's like all this paperwork. And then they're like weighing you and they're like doing all these like things. And then they're taking your blood pressure and I'm like freaking out, like I just like have a lot of health and doctor anxiety and for some reason, like they don't believe you when you say that and they're like no, sorry, I went to a doctor, you guys, a couple of years ago, when I first moved here and she was a horrible person to me and she took they took my blood pressure and she was like your blood pressure is high.
Speaker 1:And I was like, okay, um, so I know that it says that. But whenever I go to like my gynecologist or whatever, like they take it and then I'm it's, they say oh, it's a little elevated. And then I am like I'm sorry, I'm just really stressed, and then they'll retake it again and it's like it's usually fine, and they're like okay, like you're good, it's normal. And I told her this and she was like no, she was like you need to probably need to think about like how to handle that and I was like, first of all, this is my first time seeing you.
Speaker 1:like you have no health history of me at all. You're seeing me one time, yeah, with elevated blood pressure, and you're like you need like to be on blood pressure medication for the rest of your life. Like can we create some kind of rapport here, right? So she and she was just like very condescending and rude and I just like hated her and I never went back to her. And then I finally last year the year maybe the end of the year before got a new general practitioner and I went and she was lovely, okay, and like, yeah, everything was fine.
Speaker 2:Is this the Jewish woman from the Bay area? What no, nevermind Okay.
Speaker 1:I think she's an Armenian lady, probably from Glendale where her office is, but she's very cute, like she's like younger and she's she was just like very cool and I but I haven't had a really a need to go back, like I've been sick a few times, but nothing like doctor sick, and so I finally got the courage to go make an appointment. And she has no appointments for literally ever. So what am I supposed to do? Well, so you tried I guess I could see someone else. In the practice I will be honest.
Speaker 2:This is what my ignorant ass thought. I thought when girls, women ladies go to the gynecologist. Go to the gynecologist. That that was your yearly physical.
Speaker 1:No, that's just your yearly.
Speaker 2:Vaginal exam.
Speaker 1:Yeah, pelvic exam. Didn't know they were different.
Speaker 2:Why would you not just wrap that all into one visit? I don't understand.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess it could, but they're just a specialist, so it's like A gynecologist is just that. Yeah, they specialize in your vagina and your breasts.
Speaker 2:So okay.
Speaker 1:And delivering babies. Well, that would be an OBGYN.
Speaker 2:Listen. So here's what I think Some gynecologists need to get together with some general practitioners and they need to loop these appointments into one visit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, seems like a great business model. So there's a company out here called Tia.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've seen it.
Speaker 1:Except the people I know that have gone, haven't had a good time there Really. And they've been kind of a mess and the billing is really bad and dealing with insurance and test results haven't been, and so that is a good idea. Sorry if someone here works for Tia, I don't know, I haven't been, this is not my personal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like just hearsay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's hearsay, but that that is the idea of. That is like all of your doctors are in one place and you see a gynecologist but it's the same office that your general practitioner would be, and everyone's sharing the information and it's all like women and women doctors and stuff.
Speaker 1:So the information and it's all like women and women doctors and stuff. So it is a good concept, but I don't know if it's fully flushed out, got it? So, yeah, I don't know what to do. Like, I guess I just have to see someone else. But I don't want to do that because I liked her. Yeah, so I'm gonna call tomorrow and be like please please fit me in like I literally can't see someone else.
Speaker 1:I have only put the courage, had the courage to make an appointment, and now I have to see someone else. I have only put the courage, had the courage to make an appointment, and now I have to see someone else, like I can't do that or like could you just get her earliest appointment and say put me on a list for a cancellation? Probably I would do that, but I just don't know when that was, because the calendar I scrolled through december oh and nothing said that she was available.
Speaker 1:So maybe she's just showing she's not available to the general public and if I call, but I don't know, you guys, I just like I'm afraid that, like I had a headache the other day and I was like I have brain cancer, like I am a hypochondriac and I am very anxious and I'm just afraid I'm going to go and get a blood test and it's going to be really bad. And I know that that's the point of going, because if something is wrong then it can. Stanley.
Speaker 2:What'd you do? Are you scared now? Yeah?
Speaker 1:you should be. What are you doing that?
Speaker 2:hurt. Okay, he hit his back on the table. This is I can't. You know what, though that's better than me because, like I currently don't have a doctor because my insurance changed and when I my no, I have the same insurance my doctor moved. He gave me a recommendation. I called and talked to this person not good use the words on me, well, considering your lifestyle. And I said, said oh bye. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1:I need to give you um. Kayla gave me theirs. Oh, they did.
Speaker 2:I posted, All right, I I posted on my close friends tall boys and boys.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they love it. Hit me with your doctor.
Speaker 2:So I got a few recs, so I'm going to go down and see where my insurance falls. I got to have this kidney procedure because it's just a ticking time. I feel like you have to have a lot of stuff. I need an.
Speaker 1:EKG. I need my brain looked at. Probably Same. Anyway, hope I don't have brain cancer because my I had a headache for like two days in a row.
Speaker 2:Sure, and I was like I'm sure it was a tension headache.
Speaker 1:I hope so, me too, okay. So what? What's going on in the world today? Well, here's, because we don't have a sports corner, because nothing, no sports. You gave us a sports corner about the pacers, just so you know.
Speaker 2:I did and apparently I'm gonna be playing dodgeball twice a week now.
Speaker 1:I can't believe it. I am gonna have to like go back and forth a little bit. I can't. Every once in a while I might be able to fit it in, but I can't no, that's too much, too much I'm yeah, I don't. I don't know what to say, guys, but it's gonna happen um, did you watch the tonys?
Speaker 2:no, but did you see the performances?
Speaker 1:I have not.
Speaker 2:I only saw hamilton I was gonna say I know I saw it. I was like allison's definitely at least watching this yes, I do want to watch other ones.
Speaker 1:um, I did see the Cola Scola one, which is cool, that's who I wanted to win.
Speaker 2:I think it's funny that they kind of tucked Anthony Ramos just like into the ensemble.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so everyone was. So the Hamilton Hamilton did a reunion with the original cast 10 years later 10 years later and they did sort of a medley of the songs, because when they performed when it was their year, they just did Yorktown right.
Speaker 2:Correct, which is great. Yes, I wish they had done more of Satisfied yeah At all. Had done Satisfied yeah.
Speaker 1:Anthony Ramos who plays.
Speaker 2:Two characters. He plays the son of Hamilton.
Speaker 1:And he plays, it doesn't matter. One of the friends, friends of alexander hamilton and also his son and also his son. He and it's a big, it's a big part. He famously, during the time that they were on broadway, dated jasmine weren't they married?
Speaker 2:no she played peggy she played peggy and she was there playing peggy and she, she was and he.
Speaker 1:everyone fell in love with them as a couple because they were so cute in the show, and then he cheated on her.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure they married.
Speaker 1:They wed.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure they were wed. Okay, fact check it.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Because it makes it that much deeper and scandalous-er Scandaly, scandaly, scandalicious makes it that much deeper and scandalous, or scandally, scandal, I scandalous, scandalous no, anthony ramos and jasmine seavis jones are not married.
Speaker 1:They were in a relationship for six years, engaged in 2018 but ended their engagement in 2021 so they were engaged. They were engaged to be wed yes, he cheated on her and the.
Speaker 1:The people turned on him because anthony because, like, cheating is always bad, obviously, but because everyone thought that they were like the perfect couple and like how cute that they were in the show together and it was like they were so, um, the show did so well and they became so famous from it, whatever, whatever. So the people, the people turned on him and then in this reunion they were putting out behind the scenes photos and during their rehearsals and everything, and Anthony was not there and everyone was like, oh, like they, they like wrote him out of it because he's such like trash. We hate him and everything.
Speaker 1:And it really was because he's such like trash we hate him and everything. And it really was because he had another engagement that he was working on and he couldn't make it to the rehearsals and so last minute they just let like, threw him in a little bit so he would be there and have a little like he, like he came and did like one tiny section of the ensemble. He didn't have a solo he literally just sang in the ensemble and walked in front of what's his name, George Washington.
Speaker 2:Hercules.
Speaker 1:Nope, george Washington.
Speaker 2:Well, not Hercules, isn't his name in real?
Speaker 1:life. Hercules Mulligan is another character.
Speaker 2:Oh, never mind yeah.
Speaker 1:Whatever his name is Chris, something Yep.
Speaker 2:It doesn't. Is Chris something?
Speaker 1:Yep, it doesn't matter, it matters not. But so then everyone was like, oh, the Tony, because the camera work that they did. They also kind of didn't show him. The camera pulled out as he was walking across and they had a little moment. And so it was like, oh, the Tonys aren't even showing him. He's such a disgrace. And then he posted photos where he was literally standing next to jasmine, oh, and like everyone was smiling and he was like, what a great time.
Speaker 1:like so sad that like I couldn't, you know, do more do more, but it was that he had another engagement so it wasn't as like salacious as we all thought, or maybe one, but he is still trash for that yeah, he is okay and cheaters are always trash cheaters are trash, but you can be better but the performance was gorge and do you have thoughts on the show?
Speaker 1:it was better than the amas great that's all the bet awards also happened and I saw that um baby turn around and let me b2k oh reunited and did a performance and that was cute, but that's really I saw in terms of performances yeah, I didn't catch it but I those are things that I can now look on tiktok and just be like bet performances or Tony performances and I can watch them there. But oh, I saw that. What's his name From? Glee?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, he won Darren Criss.
Speaker 1:He won, I think the first Asian man Asian.
Speaker 2:The first Asian man award.
Speaker 1:No, he was the first Asian or Asian man to win a Tony, I believe or when best.
Speaker 2:I should fact check this. And he's the lead act. He was the lead actor in a in whatever that was.
Speaker 1:Darren Criss is the first Asian actor to win leading actor in a musical.
Speaker 2:Wow, there you go Pretty cool, yeah.
Speaker 1:So congrats to him, congrats to everyone. I know I wish that I had been more tapped in. I just I have not had the energy for much the past few days and you were sunburned I was sunburned, I had a breakdown yesterday because I haven't.
Speaker 1:I try to have been trying to vlog and I will record something. And then I like I'm the most boring person that's ever lived. And then I forget to film anything else the rest of the day. And then I try again the next day and the same thing happens and I'm like why do you suck?
Speaker 2:And I just like, literally I'm Our words become actions and you need to talk better about yourself.
Speaker 1:I know I just like that's what goes through my head while it's happening and I had a breakdown.
Speaker 2:but I'm gonna try again. Okay, I'm just gonna keep trying good, that's as long as you keep trying yeah, thank you yep well, some pop culture news.
Speaker 1:We have a couple things wait on here.
Speaker 2:I know about one do you want to? Yeah, I want I want to tell you guys about blake lively yeah, that's what it is blake lively.
Speaker 1:The suit against blake lively and everyone involved has been dropped dismissed no, backwards the suit, the counter suit that justin baldoni made against blake for like it was, like uh, I'll just read you the headline okay, yeah, because wow, I have no new york judge ruled that baldoni can't sue lively for defamation over claims she made in her legal claim because allegations made in a lawsuit are exempt from libel claims.
Speaker 1:So his countersuit I don't know any of that meant, but his countersuit I don't know what any of that meant, but his countersuit against her original lawsuit was saying was for defamation of his character and stuff like that. And the judge said that is not, that is not going to hold up and I'm dropping that. So her original lawsuit still stands against him about against like sexual assault and all those things I thought he was the first one to file a lawsuit no, she was so blake files.
Speaker 2:Lawsuit against justin.
Speaker 1:Justin says bet I'm filing lawsuit against you judge said no, sorry, this is about her, not you he just said that the claims that he's saying defamation of character cannot be. It can't be held up in court because her claims are part of a lawsuit where she's oh right, she's not just like being like yeah, she's not in the press going. Justin baldoni is a sexual assaulter got it she's. She filed a lawsuit saying those things, so the judge is like you can't file against her for that, because those things she said are a part of a lawsuit.
Speaker 2:Got it, so it moves, everything's moving forward. I thought the whole thing was dropped. No, that is dropped.
Speaker 1:The judge did say that he can recalibrate if he wants to file a countersuit against her and he can sue her for something else if he wishes. But that original counters suit like cannot go through. So her original one that happens like next March or something, is still happening. So it says, yeah, the judge can said that he can revise his lawsuit if he wanted to pursue different claims. Well related to whether lively breached or interfered with a contract.
Speaker 2:Okay. This is about the judge holding up the legal system.
Speaker 1:Correct, got it, which some people do and some don't. So that is where that stands and we'll see, I guess. And um oh, the judge also ruled that Baldoni's claims that lively stole creative control of the film didn't count as extortion under California law. So part of his countersuit was defamation and then something about extortion, and she said that is not extortion. So sorry try again.
Speaker 2:Yeah, try it, try it, which I? Assume he will Absolutely, so we'll probably waiting to hear what his new counter suit will be. Stay tuned, everyone.
Speaker 1:It's just like, aren't they tired?
Speaker 2:Yeah, they've got to be. The legal system is slow.
Speaker 1:Cause. Now I think that people like don't care about the two of them, right, and so is it worth it all this money that they're gonna spend she has to because I think that people are kind of against her right now yeah, and if I'm not saying that she should drop it if those things happened, especially like in such a sensitive subject, like she definitely should stand up for what she believes in and like taken down for it, yeah, but it all seems, it's all has seemed really petty, and so that's the like tiring part.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1:So I don't know. But who am I? I'm not a judge and I'm not.
Speaker 2:Like he among us, without sin, be the first to condemn love. I didn't know where that was going.
Speaker 1:That sounds like a scripture and I Let he among us without sin be the first to condemn La Vivo M. I didn't know where that was going. That sounded like a scripture and I, this guy keeps coming.
Speaker 2:It is scripture, not the.
Speaker 1:La Vivo M oh.
Speaker 2:The first part is La Vivo M, that's they say it in the song In Rent yeah, correct, so my bad. It's okay.
Speaker 1:This man keeps coming up on my Tik TOK. Who is um? Forgive me for assuming I believe he is a gay man.
Speaker 2:And pride month. You really want to claim that?
Speaker 1:I think it's, I think it's not that. I think I'm right, um, and he cause he was talking about going out and West Hollywood, that's an only gay people do that as you guys know, no, okay, whatever. So he's been reading the Bible for the first time, and he's retelling these stories in his interpretation and it's one of the greatest things I've ever shared that with me. I'm sorry, I will you know what you probably have. Yeah, Actually you should look.
Speaker 2:The amount of DMs in my TikTok that I have not opened.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're so famous I have.
Speaker 2:No, it's all you guys with, like hundreds of unlooked at messages.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and they're all important.
Speaker 2:But I'm still sending you yeah like he.
Speaker 1:I watched him talk about Abram who becomes Abraham. I didn't know that. Yeah, Cain and Abel, and he was just like.
Speaker 2:Cain kills Abel.
Speaker 1:He does. He was just retelling it in his vernacular and like it's very entertaining and, honestly, things that I didn't remember from Bible school. So it was like oh interesting.
Speaker 2:Are you learning the Bible through the lens of a gay man?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's great. I never made this world.
Speaker 2:One of my favorite songs in one of my favorite musicals Children of Eden is there's a song from that that I know and like. Is it? Is it Lost in the Wilderness?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I feel like I learned it in show choir, lost in the wilderness.
Speaker 2:Yes, Is it that?
Speaker 1:I do think so. That sounds familiar to me.
Speaker 2:It's Cain singing about, you know, after he's killed Abel Anyway.
Speaker 1:I would watch that.
Speaker 2:It's so good.
Speaker 1:But I'm sorry I can't like I can't comment, because I only know that song from hearing in show choir. So I don't know the story.
Speaker 2:I can hear a show choir singing it.
Speaker 1:Oh for sure, okay. And it's funny to me to think of the choir teacher that was like we've got to sing this.
Speaker 2:Oh, you guys have I got a song for us to do.
Speaker 1:I've been obsessed with that song. I saw this show on Saturday night at the theater and we've got to sing this is your?
Speaker 2:was your show choir teacher a gay man or a straight man or a woman?
Speaker 1:I had two women and one gay man they all three taught together no, no, no. When I first got there, it was a woman and then she left. We had a gay man who was young, ish, okay, and maybe like late 20s or very early 30s, and he ditched us on our final show. Oh my god, it was reagan. Senior year was my junior year and he, um, was very overwhelmed and he had his mom call in sick for him. It was crazy. That's some crazy turnover at Mary. It was wild.
Speaker 1:Hi and I can't imagine he's listening to this, but I'm not going to say his name regardless, but it was a very wild thing. It was like our final show of the year and he was like I had a bad burger.
Speaker 1:It was crazy, we were kind of like insufferable to him I can imagine show choir kids are and it wasn't about his sexuality, it was just about he was kind of not a very assertive teacher and didn't really have control over the class, and so we took advantage of that and we were just like one thing I know going crazy if you're working in the arts in high school yeah you better be an assertive, confident human yes, and I think it was his first.
Speaker 2:I think it was his first job oh well really like, or or was he good at choreography and music teaching I mean music teaching.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not choreography. Oh, he was a. He was teaching us the vocals and someone else was doing the dancing.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's how that goes.
Speaker 1:I think it was my sister, to be honest. Okay.
Speaker 2:Amanda Shout out.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:But that was a crazy thing. How did we get on this? Oh, show choir, yeah, but how did we get to show choir? Because I correct, yes, got it, okay, bible. It all comes back to jesus.
Speaker 2:always does my next headline is have you heard about the sydney sweeney bathwater soap? Uh, sydney sweeney bathwater soap. I do not know what that means, but I will buy it you will I am obsessed with sydney sweeney okay well, she did a collaboration with like dr squash squash soap I fun fact every christmas I get that in my stocking and I just finished this past christmas's bar okay.
Speaker 1:Well, she did a collaboration with them where she had her bath water added to the soap okay, well, it's a it was a limited quantity, obviously that's amazing and it was sold out because all these, all the men really wanted it, even though it's obviously not real, the gimmick is hilarious well, I think that it's real in terms of she did the. I think it was said that she did a shoot, like with in a bath, and they took the water from that it could be a drop like it could be like literally, maybe it, maybe it's nothing, but it reminds me of the Gwyneth Paltrow vagina candle where she was like.
Speaker 1:It didn't actually like. That's not how my vagina smells Like it was just, it was like a, it was like a joke or whatever Reminds me of that. Yeah, but it sold out. So people really said I need that. That's smart.
Speaker 2:That's smart.
Speaker 1:I think it's pretty gross.
Speaker 2:Had I known, I would have bought it.
Speaker 1:Would you have used it?
Speaker 2:Absolutely, wouldn't you? No, whose bath water soap would you buy?
Speaker 1:Interesting. If I bought it, I wouldn't use it.
Speaker 2:Because it would just be like a.
Speaker 1:It would freak me out. I don't even take baths, my own baths.
Speaker 2:What am? Because it would just be like a.
Speaker 1:It would freak me out I don't even take baths my own baths. What am I gonna rub someone else's dirty water on me? No, who could it be? I don't even know. I could get a list going, because even some of like my favorite.
Speaker 2:Well, if you're not using it, are you putting it on a shelf to look at?
Speaker 1:yeah, it would just be like a funny, like conversation starter that dude that you love, that I don't understand jesse eisenberg yeah, see, you knew right away which means it is jesse eisenberg no, I would not buy that. I don't. I truly don't know I'm trying to think of anyone that I like and if it wouldn't be something exciting to me and I just like, do not think so Like Leonardo DiCaprio, gross.
Speaker 2:That's so random. What about Leo back in Titanic days? What if it was Leo's bath water from Titanic?
Speaker 1:Yes, water from the scene of them, of him drowning.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sign me up. Oh, hell yeah.
Speaker 1:But that's very specific, and now I think he's kind of gross. So like no, yeah, I don't know. I think it would be more of like a woman that I would rather have.
Speaker 2:Sydney Swing, not a man.
Speaker 1:Nah, hmm, betty White, she's passed, but at the time, yeah, that would be a cool like with her face on it to have, but I would never use it. That actually like makes me feel sick.
Speaker 2:I want to know what Josh's answer would be, so ask him later.
Speaker 1:I will but don't, don't let it start I would ask him right now to see if his response, but he's in a meeting and he wouldn't respond. But I will, I'll let you guys apologize. If it starts a fight it won't, okay. Well, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to say no, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:The next headline yeah is do you think taylor and travis are married? Last weekend or sometime recently, taylor and travis went to a wedding of like travis's cousin or whatever and very wholesome, very, very normal people. There was like a cute photo, but it was like whatever. And then a photo surfaced of their place card that said Travis and Taylor Kelsey and it has put everyone in a tizzy. Oh, interesting that they could be married. Or was it just a way, like maybe space was limited on the card and they just said you know, this is a shorter way than full names.
Speaker 2:This is what the swifties and the sleuths should have done immediately find out who else was at that wedding and look at their place cards. Was was it just all the pairs?
Speaker 1:right. Was it just like an easy way? Yeah, to do it. You know some people think that she's been done her taylor thing with. Is she have? Does she have a engagement ring on?
Speaker 2:she's like blurred photos about of the hand and like maybe so or maybe it was also a way for them to kind of protect her, but like not that anyone wouldn't know that that's the pictures or the place card the place card just to be like. Let's not have a place card, say taylor swift, because someone's going to want to steal that shit.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, sure I don't know I mean I assume that it the wedding, like everyone was probably briefed on like yeah, if Travis and Taylor were there. Yeah, and like don't be weird, but like she'll take pictures with you or whatever you like, but just like, don't make it weird.
Speaker 2:You know, I don't know. Also, there's a discourse on would you want? Maybe not you, because the answer is yes. What do you think that? How do you? What is it that you think you know about me so well?
Speaker 1:you would, of course, want taylor at your wedding, but it's different because you're not like a bride per se. The whole thing with like brides being they don't want their shine taken away. So it's like if taylor comes to your wedding or if a big celebrity comes to your wedding, it takes away from the bride quote. So some people are like duh, I would love to have taylor or a big celebrity at my wedding. Like that'd be so fun, like the clout that that would bring and you'd be like I had the coolest wedding yeah, ever
Speaker 2:or some people are like I don't, I want to be the most important person that person's insecure and they need to go to therapy period because having taylor swift at your wedding, that just says that because you brought that's the example yeah like taylor is not going to make it about her, but if she wants to get on that stage and play a song, are you gonna say no?
Speaker 1:of course, yeah. Yeah, I think there's some celebrities that would be annoying. I don't know that. I know who that person is, but I think that like taylor seems fun and like she's gonna like have a couple drinks, she's gonna dance. She's gonna do her like taylor, like bop, that she does and do the girly things yeah, and it's gonna be like fun. There are some celebrities that I could see being insufferable, and that's katie perry I knew it.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's katie perry, and there's someone else who's insufferable to us lately. It's katie perry and someone else, I don't know.
Speaker 1:It'll come to me other people I think that would be fun would be kelly clarkson. I think she'd for sure sing a song for you and she would be fun, I think. Hey y'all.
Speaker 2:I'm just here to yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think like Hmm.
Speaker 2:I don't think I'd say no to any of them, even Katy Perry, to be honest. Did you see her? Did you see her get like?
Speaker 1:Which one?
Speaker 2:Acosta Taylor. Did you see her get like which one? Acosta Taylor, Not Taylor Katie? No, a fan got on stage two nights ago, put his arm around her when she was playing guitar. She didn't realize it and she looks and she goes and like no, I didn't ask you this Immediately.
Speaker 1:Just goes into like how did that person get on stage?
Speaker 2:I don't know, but she literally just like freaking out yeah, I don't wish things like that upon her.
Speaker 1:I just think she's like inseparable, but I don't wish things like that that was a safety issue oh my gosh, this is not something I wrote down but I totally like. What are your thoughts on all of the like gay or like gay adjacent girlies that are like now dating men? We've got jojo, who has stated that her and chris are together. The singer fletcher, you know, is dating a man, dating a man. Billy is like like. She's like come out that she's bisexual or something like that, but she's within a man she's within a man she is within a man and she's with a man.
Speaker 1:Um, hey, I think that the Jojo one is shocking Cause, like we all were like, they're clearly like just doing this for the headlines.
Speaker 2:It is odd, like can you imagine have like just right now us chilling here and then just like from upstairs you hear hey guys, like that's not sexy at all.
Speaker 1:But maybe Chris thinks it's sexy. That's not sexy at all, but maybe Chris thinks it's sexy. Like maybe they're legit, maybe. I didn't watch his season of Love Island so I don't know his personality really, so I can't really comment that. But it is like such a Jojo came out of into the adult world being so lesbian.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And so now it's like so interesting to she got digmatized period yeah, um billy like we've seen her be with men mostly, so then, her being like I, like girls too, she does like to be with older men yeah, yeah, she seems like an old soul, so I kind of get that yeah, but it says something more about the men for sure 100 yeah yeah, like I think that she has a good relationship with her, like like her dad.
Speaker 1:So it doesn't seem I don't know her personally. Yeah, to be really honest, although there is tea, that, um, someone that josh knows, um, she used to date and she kind of came around to to the their circle, if you will, and like he said she was cool, um, and I don't think that person was older per se, but maybe, but it doesn't seem like she has like daddy issues in that realm. That's like causing that. I think it's just like probably a product of the industry and whatever. But it does say more about the older guys that are seeking her out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and don't love that no I do wish that she was with an age appropriate. Yeah, lad or lattice, is that the laddie ladder laddie? Yeah yeah, but I just thought that, like it's just an interesting, the girlies are with the boys what can you do? What can you do in pride month? In pride month wow um, that's really all the headlines I have.
Speaker 2:Okay, you have none I have none, I am. We had ash Ashley Tisdale in the house today.

Speaker 1:Was it authentic dressing or was it fake dressing?
Speaker 2:Well, the first one was from the front yard.
Speaker 1:I did see you were there on the calendar or on the counter on the map uh front yard makes a bomb ass. When I was trying to get a hold of you. I looked at your location and you're at the front yard and I was like you know what delicious get it?
Speaker 2:it truly was delicious. We had an incredible caesar ad chicken and they give you like the half of a chicken. Like you have to cut it, it it's like half of a chicken. I don't like that I know, but it was tender and delicious.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then the next night we went to Granville and had a chicken Caesar we did like tapas style, we shared a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1:That's the best way.
Speaker 2:It is, and both of them were so good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love a Caesar.
Speaker 2:I say this my list of the week is an authentically dressed chicken, Caesar salad or salmon, but we had chicken.
Speaker 1:What did you have for brunch when you went to Manhattan Beach?
Speaker 2:We didn't end up actually getting there until like one, so we actually just went for sushi and it was some of the best sushi I've ever had.
Speaker 1:I haven't had sushi in a minute.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, we had this blue crab roll. Hand roll, hand roll, I gotta get back to kazanori. Kazanori, oh, it's like our favorite place it is so good anyway, so we had sush we had sush yummy and that's that night is when we had granville and then a nightcap at el tohono oh my god, chaotic it was.
Speaker 1:Because it was a chaotic place, the wrestling match was going on with, like mary no was. Did you choose that? Because location or because you were like we gotta get to el tohono?
Speaker 2:well, our intention was to go have tex mex, for sure. And then I was like, oh, there's granville right next door. Like what, are you hungry, hungry? And at that, when we made the plan, I don't think we really were. And then I was and so we went there and we ate, and then we just like talked for so long and then I was like let's just like why don't we? Or he suggested like, why don't we just go next door for a nightcap.
Speaker 1:I was like that's perfect okay, that is respectable, but el tohono is so chaotic and like intense these days, I've told I don't know if I've told the podcast before I've told you I drove by one time and there was a girl standing outside and I watched a man fully throw a whole glass of what I assume was milk. It was a white liquid substance, a whole big glass just straight in her face and I was like what led you to this moment armed security no people have gotten shot outside of it, like, like I think um Ricky told me, my friend Ricky told me that that has happened recently.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there was like armed security guards. They padded us down. It's chaotic Like when El Tano opened, I was living across the street from it and it was just a chill fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like it was wild on the weekends, but like Lyle wrote a song about it, like it was the place to go.
Speaker 1:I think that back in the day it was, it was normal.
Speaker 2:Well, but now it's like a wild place. We had one drink and we got the. He's drinking and we got out of there.
Speaker 1:One, one, margarita though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, have you opened your legs. Yes, Give me one, you guys. It's a song, and I forgot to say that I went to the Rose Bowl flea market For the first time On Sunday.
Speaker 1:Oh, I've heard, is it good?
Speaker 2:It was so good.
Speaker 1:Is it Like, stressful though I feel like the parking and I think that Well parking is very like Well done.
Speaker 2:It's like you pull in, they you pay, you go Like there's spots. We had no issue, okay, and we didn't go write it open. We went at like noon.
Speaker 1:Okay, did you buy anything?
Speaker 2:Just food. He bought a couple of things, and then we, but it is overwhelming in the sense that there is it's never ending.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the Rose Bowl is big. When we went for the Pokemon event I had, it was my first time being there and it was very large. It's huge. Is it in the grass area or is it on the cement, like around the stadium, around the stadium?
Speaker 2:Okay, and then into the parking lot Like it's massive. Oh okay, Like we stayed for three hours and we couldn't like there's no way You'd have to go there right at open to see everything, but it's really fucking cute and if you go with the intention of finding vintage clothing, you could be there all day. And there's so many good things.
Speaker 1:It's Saturdays or Sundays.
Speaker 2:It's the first, it's the second Sunday of every month only.
Speaker 1:I know Angela enjoys it so I I would go. Josh would never go, so I would have to go with you guys or Angela or someone. So let me know on your next excursion. Sure, my a list of the week is so random, but I just downloaded mario party. Okay, on my switch yeah I have the original switch once.
Speaker 2:Okay, I thought he was gonna unplug that.
Speaker 1:Okay, go ahead and I'm having a great time playing it. We played it two nights in a row well, not in a row two nights out of the last three nights and and Was it on sale. No, it's actually so expensive. It's like $60.
Speaker 2:I know I'm surprised you. That's what I mean, Like I'm surprised you did it.
Speaker 1:I just like pretended that it wasn't that much and I'll just, when the credit card statement comes out, then I'll cry about it. Just think about it. It is because my sister is coming to visit in a few weeks and I thought it would be fun to have to play in the evenings, you know so, but Josh and I have been playing it and I've had a great time. And you know what my? The reason it's a list of the week is because I want everyone to connect with their inner child and play a game.
Speaker 2:I agree.
Speaker 1:It's a great game to play If you have a switch. If you don't, then I agree. It's a great game to play if you have a switch. If you don't, then sorry, and you should get one because, honestly, the probably the original switches are probably going to be cheaper now so true get one, but what a great game.
Speaker 2:I love that it's a.
Speaker 1:It's a board game on the tv and that which is nice because there's no setup and teardown honestly it's great. Yeah, it's like a really good concept. So that is random, but I'm obsessed right now. I love that it's great and tbh. Yeah, not a single birthday of anyone we care about okay I will say the late tupac shook her. It would be his birthday but um the 16th okay but literally not. Not as no one else.
Speaker 2:My sister's birthday is the 19th.
Speaker 1:Happy early birthday.
Speaker 2:Happy early birthday.
