Before we dive in, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the heaviness that many are feeling right now With the recent ice raids here in Los Angeles and the devastating violence happening around the world. Our hearts are with everyone impacted. We know it's a lot and we're holding space for the grief, the fear and the resilience. So we hope that this episode offers you a little break from the heaviness and maybe a smile to get you through the week. Welcome back to the A-List Podcast with Allison and Alex. I'm Allison. I'm Alex.
Speaker 1:And welcome back. And welcome back to the A-List.
Speaker 2:Podcast here we go.
Speaker 1:It just like, it just like, offers a loop you know it does offer a loop.
Speaker 2:Hello.
Speaker 1:Hello. We have had so much time in between, so there's probably a lot to catch up on.
Speaker 2:There probably is a lot to catch up on.
Speaker 1:Where shall we start Me and my 24-hour trip to Indiana? Yeah, that's great. That was last week.
Speaker 2:That was last week. Well, no, it was this week.
Speaker 1:It was last Friday.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:No, it wasn't.
Speaker 2:Really, as in two days ago.
Speaker 1:No, it was the Friday before.
Speaker 2:Oh, it was You're the friday before.
Speaker 1:oh, oh, it was, you're right, you're right yes, so on wednesday of last week I got a call from hayley. I was in gelson's which, by the way, gelson's, is so expensive yes, I was I was next next to it because I was at best buy and I was like I'm just gonna run in. I just needed like turkey for a turkey burger. Yeah, I needed like buns and a couple things.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's the most expensive place I've ever been I mean, I just went to ralph's and got like seven things.
Speaker 1:It was 91 dollars yeah, so it's just, it's just everything is more expensive now, but gelson's is actually crazy, you're right I looked. I was looking at the like jellies, the jams. There was not a single one under six dollars not not a single jelly or jam not, even not a smut person's sight a jelly which is just sugar right?
Speaker 1:no, I don't understand that's so frustrating and they were all kind of like artisan looking things, but still I was like this is insane, who's buying this? So I get a call, I'm in the store and hayley's like I need you, I need to talk to you right now. And I was like, okay, I'm checking out one second. She goes, she goes, okay, but it's urgent or something like that. And then I am like okay, I'm done. She says do you want to go to game four of the NBA finals on Friday? This was Wednesday and I was like what, how? What do you mean? And she, uh, youtube had invited um, I think I guess they invited her. They didn't know I was also a fan, I think she it doesn't matter, but I think they had reached someone that Cameron knows on the YouTube team, reached out to cameron and was like I've seen hayley post about the pacers. Do you think she would want to go to the game?
Speaker 1:yeah we have a suite, uh, for the youtube creators program, fun, um that we have some places open like does she want to go? And cameron's like I'll send it to her. Um, so we, I was like I thought about it for a second and I was like seems expensive and tiring yeah, and then I was like what that's so cool, like? I've never been to a like playoff finals, right. Whatever, I probably wouldn't go again, okay, so I might as well like that's sick and the pacers are never in the playoffs.
Speaker 1:Like they haven't won the conference final since the year 2000.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And have never won the finals ever in the history of them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think yeah.
Speaker 1:So I was like you know what Screw it.
Speaker 3:Let's go.
Speaker 2:Screw it.
Speaker 1:So we that was Wednesday evening, Uh, we got up at 5am on Friday morning, flew to Indianapolis, got in at like three, had enough time to check into a hotel. We sat for like 25 minutes and then had to shower, get ready and go to the game, basically.
Speaker 2:But wow, being in a suite is really cool yeah sure, free food, free drinks also the only time I do a pacers game is is in a suite and yeah you, I feel like you get ruined because you do those things.
Speaker 1:You did the same thing with the dodgers, right correct? Yeah so, and then you're ruined when you like sit in a seat for the common folk and now you.
Speaker 2:You get it, though, like a sweet so nice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the view's great the food's awesome food's great, so that was so fun. We did end up losing that game uh-huh but then we just like went out in andy and I haven't done that in forever.
Speaker 2:So that's fun to the moon cute and we just had a fun night, we're just.
Speaker 1:And then we went to bed. I immediately the next morning had enough time to get lunch with a friend that lives down there and then go straight to the airport and fly home. And boy was I tired.
Speaker 2:In and out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, haley stayed a couple of days, Um, cause she hadn't been back in a while.
Speaker 2:but I turned around cause I had just been to Indiana the like two weeks ago, yeah out, because I had just been to indiana, the like two weeks ago.
Speaker 1:Before that, yeah, and I was like love you guys, but I bought my plane ticket here, so that was expensive and I didn't want to rent a car, like if I, if my family, lived in india, I might have stayed like a day or so, yeah, but driving home would have been, yeah, yeah, yeah, tough for sure, uh.
Speaker 1:So yeah, that was my previous weekend and they lost, which is too bad they did lose and just to get it out of the way nearly hours ago literally like one hour ago, we there was the championship finals game and we did in fact lose, and I am sad but I'm not gonna let it that's the end, right that is the end well, pacers maybe but so sad. So our best player, tyrese Halliburton, in the first quarter like tore his Achilles.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, and it was so sad he was like because he knew he's had a calf injury. I think that they're probably the muscles, since they are attached, they are. I feel like maybe his Achilles was weakened because he'd been playing through the calf injury Cause it's like how can you not? It's the finals, but he just like took a step forward and you could just see when they did slow motion like a, like like a, a burst kind of I don't know that's like dramatic, but you could see his calf like expand and he was on the floor immediately crying and just screaming, no Cause he knew like he just knew, that's what happens.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he was just like no, no, and he's hysterically crying Cause he just and that he knew he was done and it was the first quarter, so it was like so early, so then the mood was down and whatever. But the okc thunder one boo congratulations to oklahoma city oklahoma city kristen chenoweth did sing the national anthem because she's from oklahoma that is cute and she went up three octaves in the final note.
Speaker 1:Fuck, yeah, she did. Yeah, it was cute. I wasn't mad about that no yeah, how was so, re? But reminding back, that was last weekend, so how was your week?
Speaker 2:ever so busy, so so busy, so packed so good lots of shoots, lots of meetings. It was a week of meetings. I at one point was like I was like um, how does anyone get any work done around here, like all it is is?
Speaker 1:could this be an email?
Speaker 2:honestly no like it was like okay. But it's like okay, great, Anyway, so.
Speaker 1:Do you need an assistant?
Speaker 2:Seems like it, I do yes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what do they say? I don't know if they figure it out after work, but are you salaried or?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay, so you kind of do have to work whenever.
Speaker 1:It is. That is the bad thing. You're hourly, you can be like girl I gotta clock out right um.
Speaker 2:Since I'm freelance, though, I can also decide if I want to work on a day or not yeah so I might have to like take a day. I mean we had the four or the uh, we had juneteenth off, but I worked the other job still. So it was not a day off for me and happy to report to you I I finally have watched the notebook. Wait.
Speaker 1:I didn't know that you hadn't watched it. Have we talked about that?
Speaker 2:Yes, you you gave it to me as homework, like like back in February.
Speaker 1:Well, I guess I just forgot, because you didn't care.
Speaker 2:And then I put it on and fell asleep, woke up to like Ryan. Gosling hanging from the Ferris wheel and then wheel, and then I was like good night that was so early yeah, well, I thought it was very far and it is literally like the first, like 20 minutes, it's less.
Speaker 1:I want to say it's like 10 minutes in okay, what are your thoughts now that now you're in a place of of happiness and love?
Speaker 2:you're like okay, I can do it well, this is the trajectory of that night. So Friday night, so sad it's so sad, but it was, uh, the rooftop cinema club. So we were downtown la on a rooftop and you had to stay awake yes, the viewing was at 8 30, but we were and I had to stay awake. Yes, but we were like sitting on the rooftop having a drink before the movie starts, and he asked me to be his boyfriend oh, congrats thanks and then we watched the notebook and I cried so much yeah it's.
Speaker 1:I cried so much yeah, but it's so good right it's.
Speaker 2:It is so good. I'm kind of ashamed that it took me this long what was the first part? You cried out do you remember just trying to think about that, because obviously the end is like like horrifyingly sad yes, it was. I cried at this, I cried at so many scenes. I cried when the mom takes which caitlin stark oh, I've never put that together, her mom is caitlin stark, um, when she takes her to like the coal field, I don't know to see the guy that she left I know I was like that's tearjerker that.
Speaker 2:That got me. Um, when they get in the fight at the car and they break up at the car, that whole that breakup scene was.
Speaker 1:I was like no when they kiss in the rain when they fucking kiss in the rain when.
Speaker 2:James Marsden even was like there was a scene with him where I was like, wow, he really loves her and he just wasn't.
Speaker 1:No, fuck, when the house is like revealed that he finished it and wow.
Speaker 2:Also, and I knew that, like I know how it ends, I've known that it ends with them like dying. Dying. I didn't know the con, I didn't know how or what. Oh, okay, I didn't know, so I Cause, I was like did you know that he was reading her the story the whole time.
Speaker 1:Yes, I did pick that up.
Speaker 2:And then, when he laid down with her, well, she says something like do you think our love can take us together? Or something. I was like oh my God, they're going to die together.
Speaker 3:That's what's happening.
Speaker 2:And then I was like. I didn't think it was that night, though, cause in my brain the movie just started. I was so enamored by everything I was like, and then, sure enough, credits rolled and I was like, well fuck, I'm just a blubbering mess.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Do you think which is the better love story, Titanic or the Notebook?
Speaker 2:Here's the thing the Notebook is Titanic. If Jack and Rose lived, yeah, that's the kind of love they would have.
Speaker 1:A love story, I guess, like Titanic happens over just a couple of days and the notebook happens over these like decades.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I guess, if you're comparing, maybe the oh my God, the another time I cried was when it was like the now time, and she, like, immediately forgets who he is and he's sitting on the edge of the bed crying. I'll be seeing you yes and then she like forgets and they sit on the bed crying while the nurses are calming her down, and I was like, and it's just like cast so perfectly.
Speaker 1:Have you ever seen her audition tape?
Speaker 2:rachel. No, yeah, is it good?
Speaker 1:Incredible, like no question, she's perfect. And then when they were together in real life and then they broke up like so sad.
Speaker 2:I mean how the, the energy to be that connected in a movie that romantic, it'd be hard to not date, for a little bit at least.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oof, I know At least they were like not cheating on other people.
Speaker 2:True, and I was very caught up in the like, all the love energy that I was feeling that night.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's okay, don't worry, there's gunshots outside.
Speaker 2:It's just firework season.
Speaker 1:So I am sad because it's speaking of another love story. I have heard that the materialists with Dakota Johnson is not good and I'm upset about that.
Speaker 2:Karina saw it and said it was amazing.
Speaker 1:Oh really, I just heard someone today say that it was terrible and they wanted to walk out.
Speaker 2:I think so. Karina said she went in thinking it was something, then realized it was an A24 film and then is like, oh, it's not going to be a rom-com and it wasn't Okay. So I an a24 film and then is like, oh, it's not going to be a rom-com and it wasn't okay. So I think like the trailer gives rom-com it does yeah but she's like no, it's I've watched a couple of.
Speaker 1:Since she's doing press right now and she never does press, I've been watching her things like she did hot ones, and she was on amy poehler's podcast yeah I've been loving the content from her. She's on someone else's no, I think it was Amy's that I'm thinking of but loving the content and she did like an actors on actors, like funny thing. It wasn't that, but her and Pedro and they were hilarious together. He's so funny. So loving the Dakota content right now.
Speaker 2:We love.
Speaker 1:Yes, but speaking of a movie that I just watched that was actually probably the worst movie I've ever seen is it new yes is it out?
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, is it in theaters? You saw it it's not anymore?
Speaker 1:I don't know. No, it never went to theaters you saw it on, not theaters.
Speaker 2:That's a weird way to say that yes, what was it?
Speaker 1:another simple favor oh yeah did you watch?
Speaker 2:it.
Speaker 1:I did watch it it's incredibly horrible it's super confusing to me, the first one. I don't even think is that bad no, I enjoyed the first one.
Speaker 2:This one felt like it was. Was it a comedy? What?
Speaker 1:was it it was so fucking so many twists and turns for no reason, so many extra people dying for like yes what reason yeah?
Speaker 2:and so out there weird, like trying to be campy, but it just came off like bad writing yeah, I could not believe some, some things that I could not believe here spoiler alerts spoiler alert, but let me tell you actually, you know what?
Speaker 1:you should watch it, just for how bad it is. It's not even one that I'm going to tell you. Don't waste your time no, it's pretty bad enough that it's like you kind of need to watch it to really understand what's happening.
Speaker 2:First of all, no, jean smart, which is funny.
Speaker 1:Jean smart.
Speaker 2:That's who played the mom in the first one. She's the lead in the show hacks.
Speaker 1:Okay, but she is not the mom in this.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, but she is not the mom in this. Okay, correct, oh she, they couldn't get her this time she wasn't available. The minute I knew this movie was gonna suck yeah was when it was like there's a triplet no, that was the first thing I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1:All of a sudden there's a triplet. Did they talk about that in the first?
Speaker 2:this was totally written to just like be able to write this.
Speaker 1:They're like oh, we forgot. If they had talked about it in the first one, then sure, but I was like I don't remember this at all. All of a sudden there's a triplet, and I think that they wrote this entire movie just so they could get to the end and have her be able to say sister effer.
Speaker 2:Just to bring that joke back.
Speaker 1:Literally because the first. The first one because Anna Kendrick accidentally Not accidentally. Well, she didn't know it when they met, like she wasn't, she knew, I thought the first night.
Speaker 2:No, remember their dad. The dad dies. He shows up at the funeral. They're like this is your half brother. Then he's staying with them because he's grieving. I thought that they slept together before she found out. It was her half brother and then the basement they're grieving and then they do it, then she has his baby. Oh, that's even worse, because remember their baby.
Speaker 1:Then they magically die, her husband and him.
Speaker 2:He takes them out and drives the car off a cliff.
Speaker 1:The husband, the husband.
Speaker 2:He's like. I know that our son is not my son, which?
Speaker 1:is insane. Like just kill him, I guess, then Right, he couldn't. I don't know it. It's a lot, but I think that they loved that joke in the first one so much, brother effer. I don't know why it just feels bad to say it over and over again. Um, they said we have to figure out a way to get this in here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they sure did.
Speaker 1:And they broke the whole movie around it. Yeah, and then yeah, the triplets like super weird, cause she's been like captain hiding, and then she's like I we're going to be one, and then she just starts like molesting her. Yeah, what an insane thing.
Speaker 2:Also just like, and Blake Lively played that character obviously, so she was like totally the script.
Speaker 1:Honestly, the one interesting thing is how they shoot that.
Speaker 2:Good lookalike.
Speaker 1:Oh, you think. Yeah, and then they just CGI'd her face Right Movie magic.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're there now.
Speaker 1:Movie magic, and then all for the husband to be gay. I mean that one, yeah Weird.
Speaker 2:Well then, one yeah, weird Well. And then also, like Henry dying was unnecessary, like why was he even at the wedding? Why?
Speaker 1:was he there? Well, I guess just to take Nikki. Yeah, he could have gone with the mom.
Speaker 2:It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Stupid.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think he needed to die and I don't understand why, like all four gay characters, but like he didn't need to be gay in order for her to be marrying him. He could have just been like yeah, yeah, yeah, I want a hot wife and yeah that's it. Yeah, I don't know a lot of things bad about it and I am upset about it, but I am glad that I stuck through and watched it to see all the ridiculousness.
Speaker 2:Yes, I watched Subservient. Megan Fox is a robot.
Speaker 1:Oh, how was it?
Speaker 2:Honestly good, I was entertained.
Speaker 1:I'm scared of robot things.
Speaker 2:now it was a little predictable, but it was like entertaining. It was like Megan, but like hotter.
Speaker 1:Sexy. Because it's Megan Fox yeah it's megan fox I have not even heard of this movie it's on netflix subservient all right she's, she's a robot yeah, robot thing scared me, but I could be into it it's hot, she's super strong, super strong, super strength and super sex appeal I will be seeing Mission Impossible this coming week.
Speaker 2:That's fine Entertaining, I guess.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think I've seen any of them, except for the very original one, and I don't even remember that because it was so long ago. I have such random notes.
Speaker 2:I have a random note too.
Speaker 1:Okay, you want to go first?
Speaker 2:I had this realization and it was this is gonna. This is kind of mind-blowing okay you know the song 1985 by bowling mine's about a song too, is it? About 1985 by bowling.
Speaker 1:No, it's about a millie millie bobby brown no, a millie little wayne, little wayne oh got it okay, so are you.

Speaker 1:The gunshots are not gunshots.
Speaker 2:The fireworks. Okay, you can sit here. Okay, so 1985.
Speaker 1:1985.
Speaker 2:Bruce Springsteen, madonna. Way before Nirvana, there was YouTube and Blondie Music still on MTV. You remember this song from when you were 14?
Speaker 1:I sure do I like it.
Speaker 3:It came out in 2004.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Okay Okay. 2004. They wrote a song called 1985. That came, so that is 19 years.
Speaker 3:Before this song came out.
Speaker 2:Yes, we are now 22 years Past when the song 1985, came out. I mean 21 years and when I sat there and thought about that and I'm like there could be a band that could write a song right now Called 2005.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, that's sad and scary, and it would be the way that we felt about hearing like Bro 2005.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's sad and scary and it would be the way that we felt about hearing, like Bruce Springsteen, madonna way before.
Speaker 1:Nirvana. What would be the characters?
Speaker 2:I don't know, but I really want to hear it. I hope someone writes it. Let's hear what 2005 would be, britney 2005.
Speaker 1:It doesn't roll off the tongue as good 1985.
Speaker 2:2005.
Speaker 1:No, it doesn't, but let's see it would be like um 2000 to early 2000s.
Speaker 2:But the point is ashley simpson, yeah, this is what that's like. That's how guys time flies when you're having fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm still I'm still of that camp, like I do Once I think about it for more than a one second, I know that it's not but originally like. If I think about 20 years ago, I have to stop myself from thinking it's the eighties.
Speaker 2:Same. Oh, absolutely Same.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know that's like a common thing for millennials, but yeah it's not. No yeah, it's not. No, it's not so that's cute.
Speaker 2:That's my random note.
Speaker 1:Pop culture, mine is um in the song amelie amelie, amelie, amelie, come here do you? Did you think the line was coconut derriere?
Speaker 2:I'm gonna be honest with you, other than amelie am a million.
Speaker 1:It's a little too secular for you.
Speaker 3:I don't know, it yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, there's a line that said Let me get the full line A million here, a million there, sicilian B word With long hair, with what I heard was coconut derriere, like her booty was like nice round coconuts. No, it's coke in her derriere oh I saw someone say this on tiktok and it was like who else was singing? It's like a million here, a million there, sicilian with long hair with coconut derriere.
Speaker 1:But I heard coconut derriere yeah and I saw this and I was like oh my god, yeah, oh, that's how I like sing it in my head coconut, anyway, it doesn't. It's not as cool, since you don't know the song I'm sorry but I thought that was like I wanted to know how much of a um Canon event. Not a cat's, not the right word.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, I have a lot of those myself like the song our lips are sealed. You know, for most of my childhood I thought it was a song about a seal named Onyx.
Speaker 1:Onyx the seal Deadass. That's pretty, it was pretty bad Pretty bad, onyx the seal. I heard that there's a Because you can't find Any Ashley, mary-kate and Ashley movie On any streaming service.
Speaker 2:Which is a crime.
Speaker 1:It is a crime. There is apparently An Instagram page that has Like Dropbox link. Dropbox links Wow, that's hard to say.
Speaker 3:Dropbox links.
Speaker 1:To download For all the movies that you can download and watch.
Speaker 2:We're talking Passport to Paris.
Speaker 1:We're talking all of them. Billboard Dad, new York Minute, winning London. Winning London Older ones too, holiday in the. Sun Holiday in the Sun. I have that on VHS my mom. Hopefully she kept it.

Speaker 2:Isn't there a soccer one too, called like?
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:Get the goal or something. That's definitely not what it's called New York Minute, I think was like like one of their last ones, and it was so good there's a yeah, the london one and the new york one.
Speaker 1:They were a little bit older, right? Winning london, and passport to paris came out the same year oh, I feel like there's another one with new york minute where they're kind of yeah you're right I just forget what it's about.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I don't know why, like they don't sell them yeah, hello, american they would make so much money because they don't want people to buzz about them again and feel like they have to be forced back into acting.
Speaker 1:They don't what never they have like such a rich fashion line that is insanely expensive that they have to be making so much money on yeah, they're fine, they're fine. No, they literally are fine. So why? No one's gonna be like you. Gotta come back to acting now, for if you sell us the rights to put, your stuff on Netflix.
Speaker 2:You're right, that's weird. They're like weird.
Speaker 1:Why are they weird? Just because they've been. They were child actors.
Speaker 2:Maybe yeah.
Speaker 1:There's a weird.
Speaker 2:Elizabeth seems pretty normal.
Speaker 1:Cause she wasn't like she wasn't, did like she wasn't, did she not get in the game until later?
Speaker 2:I mean, she did some child acting things.
Speaker 1:Hmm.
Speaker 2:Hmm.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, yeah, there's a twins.
Speaker 2:Maybe that's a thing for sure, let's be exhausted, have you?
Speaker 1:been watching um Jenny and Georgia this season.
Speaker 2:No, but I watched two episodes of love Island.
Speaker 1:Hell yeah, what'd you think?
Speaker 2:First two, or like in the middle, I watched an episode where america voted on a recoupling and then some girl named huda was like really mad about it yeah, america hates me.
Speaker 1:We did that on purpose. I didn't vote, but like it was done on purpose because people were annoyed at them her and her other and jeremiah jeremiah seems toxic and problematic they're both, they're both they.
Speaker 2:So I saw that episode but like I'm watching it with Susanna and Karina and I'm like the aliens who are controlling everything have to be watching us watch this and be like those stupid Americans. I come in on a part where it's like okay, so first you go and draw a beaver and then whoever's name is on the beaver that was an insane challenge. It's climb onto the log and kiss, and then you go into this cabin.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But like explaining that to someone without context, yeah, it's so stupid. I'm sorry. What are we doing here?
Speaker 1:Okay, the challenges this season have been really extra dumb. They're you. They usually are stupid, but they are. They're even worse this time okay and it's usually.
Speaker 1:There's usually something to do that shows the islanders like who people are interested in, because it'll be like you know you'll have to choose someone to kiss and if you're kind of in your couple but you're not really like sure about them, whoever you choose, it just like it's like in an enlightening thing of like who's like strong in their relationship or who is maybe not as strong and maybe is like looking at other people and it's, but it's not usually the beaver. One was actually crazy they have never.
Speaker 2:The fact you're even saying it so calmly is I know then charlie gets voted out, right and everyone's crying. Please promise me. Please promise me that you will make the most of your time here and you know what?
Speaker 1:that girl, immediately after he left, literally slept with the guy that she got coupled with. There's like it's on video I was like why is she so mad?
Speaker 2:and karina was like and they have the, she can leave, leave she can be like I'm going to go with him. Yeah, and she, I was like okay, well, this is not giving that.
Speaker 1:She's like okay, no, because it is at the end of the day a reality challenge show or competition show, because you do, if you are voted the best couple, at the end you get like a hundred thousand dollars, so you are incentivized to stay. Didn't know that okay and, who knows, like over the years, like some people might have just been, like pretending to be in love just to win at the end and then like break up after okay well there there is an incentive to be in a couple and be to the end here's what I will say.
Speaker 2:I checked myself because I was making fun of that whole interaction between hannah and charlie, like he just he'd be like wait and then run over to her, right, yeah, and I was like this is absolutely insane. However, if that exact scenario not in this situation, but if a british man was acting and saying those things to a woman in a rom-com, I'd be crying yeah, he was really.
Speaker 1:I was like oh well, alex, a rom-com, I'd be crying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he was really, I was like oh well, alex, if this were a movie, you'd be supportive of this. You'd be like, wow, that love is real.
Speaker 1:I do know that Cause at that. I think they've been in there for two weeks now, and when you I am assuming when you are cut off from the world, two weeks feels like a month probably yeah, it's the same thing that happens on like big brother yeah, like it's just everything is heightened and you have nothing else to do but like flirt and whatever. So I am sure if I was in there and single like I, would probably fall for someone very quickly that makes sense but you also have to remember, when you're thinking about it, like we have been talking for like actually four days.
Speaker 2:Right, right.
Speaker 1:So everyone relax, please, and then you're, they're all. This one, too, is way more intense on the everyone kissing everyone thing.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:It is a thing that happens in all of the versions of the show and every year, yeah, but it seems like way more intense this season and like I'm actually like grossed out by everyone kissing everyone. There have been some talk around of like do people have cold sores on? Because there's like one guy that.
Speaker 1:But I also thought it could have just been a bruise. Oh, maybe because there was another from one one of the early games that they played. This girl also got bruised Cause they're like literally smashing their faces against each other to kiss and they're, and, but they're also like falling down Cause there was a one before the one you just watched that was like a baseball themed challenge and they were having to crawl on the ground and I don't know. It was also like a contact sport, yeah, and so I was like it could be a bruise, because then it was like pretty gone like the next episode it was so I don't actually think it was a cold sore.
Speaker 1:I don't really know much about cold sores in terms of like, how long? Like, if you're treating it, how long does it, how quickly does it go? I don't know. And they do testing for them. But then people were like, well, if you, you have to do special testing for certain every strand of cold sores or whatever. So they're like are they really paying for every single person to have all those? But I feel like, yeah, don't you have to, of course, because you're being like you guys have to kiss each other and so for putting you in there, like I wouldn't go in if I wasn't like you have to scan everyone for every single thing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, cause it doesn't seem to have ever been a problem before.
Speaker 2:Okay, and so someone with no one seemed apprehensive to kiss him, so I guess like it couldn't have.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because if you were in there and someone popped up like you would be like, hey, like we should probably not kiss right now right, yeah I don't know. It's obviously like a very common thing, so like whatever, as long as everyone's being safe about it. But it's because it's the internet, people are speculating about it and it's just like going around. I don't know. Interesting thing. But I am watching love Island and I am into it and I don't think I'll be able to watch tonight. So I guess tomorrow I'll have to watch too.
Speaker 2:I'm going to have to catch up.
Speaker 1:This is just an episode about watching things, because something else I watched that I do recommend is the show adults.
Speaker 2:Have you watched it Watched the trailer yesterday and decided it's on my list.
Speaker 1:I enjoyed it. It is very, uh, gen Z and like specific types of people that are kind of um, caricatured a little bit Okay, but I I thought everyone was good actors and like it was an easy watch. I watched it in like three, like two and a half days.
Speaker 3:There's eight episodes, so easy very easy.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:I do recommend that, if you like it. You know it's sort of like if if friends existed in present day Queens or whatever. It's very it's just like a specific. They're specific people. Okay, Okay For at least the week. Do you want to sing it?
Speaker 2:It's time for a list of the week oh, cute. We'll do that.
Speaker 1:I liked that one. I really don't have much, except for the shows that I've just recommended.
Speaker 2:Well, mine is also a show rec Okay.
Speaker 1:Great.
Speaker 2:Overcompensating. Have you watched?
Speaker 1:No, but I've heard everyone, so as well.
Speaker 2:Incredible. Okay, great, overcompensating. Have you watched? No, but I've heard everyone, so Binge it as well.
Speaker 1:Incredible Benita Skinner Overcompensating. It's funny. I'm thinking of adolescence.
Speaker 2:Overcompensating is so funny, cute. Please watch Amazon Prime. Support Benita Skinner, get a season two Support small business. Support small.
Speaker 1:You were saying there's a show called adolescence or whatever. Oh, that is. I think it has to do with like adolescence like the generation now that our kids, what are they Like? Alpha a? Yeah, and it's about social media, uh, influence in a negative way. And there's a kid. I think the kid does like some sort of crime and it's about the parents like dealing with that. I've heard that it's an incredible show.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, so that's on your list of the week but I haven't seen it Okay, so I don't know.
Speaker 1:Got it, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, do you know that we are millennials, but we're technically generation Y.
Speaker 1:No, what's that mean? That's what we're called.
Speaker 2:Alphabetical.
Speaker 1:So we're generation Y over. So when was a originally?
Speaker 2:Jesus Christ time. I think actually, why wouldn't we just start?
Speaker 1:with a when we started. That's a great question. I don't know, because I think because X is baby boomers also right. No baby boomers are before, so the first one was Gen X.
Speaker 2:Well, I think baby boomer, just like millennials is, is a. I think they're Generation W.
Speaker 1:Never heard that in my life. Are you serious?
Speaker 2:I thought we were. I thought it was Gen X, then Millennial, then Gen Z, then Gen Alpha, and if you Google it, it says Millennials are Gen Y.
Speaker 1:Generation W is a nationally recognized nonprofit. Nope, nope, I don't think Generation W.
Speaker 2:So it started with Generation X? Do you think they did that because they wanted to get to the end of the millennium and then start over?
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:No, because then Gen Z, we would have been Gen Z and then Gen A would have been what Gen Z is, because they started.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I think someone just picked it.
Speaker 2:Fools Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not seeing anything about Generation W. Wait for those who need a quick rundown of which generation they are a part of Gen S, 1860 to 1882.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:They are also called missionary. Gen T 1883 to 1900,. They're called lost. Gen U 1901 to 1927, are called greatest or GI. Gen V is 1928 to 1945. They're called silent. Gen W 1946 to 1964 are called baby boomers. I think someone made this up, because that is nowhere else on the internet. This is a Reddit thread.
Speaker 2:But what does it say about us? Gen X is 1965 to thread.
Speaker 1:But what does it say about us? Gen X is 1965 to 1980. They're called forgotten.
Speaker 2:The forgotten generation, yeah.
Speaker 1:Gen Y is 1981 to 1996. Millennials, Gen Z 1997 to 2012. Zoomers, Gen Alpha 2013 to 2025. Gen Beta is 2026 to 2039.
Speaker 2:We're about to be in the next generation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Generation Gamma 2040 to 2054 and Generation26 to 2039. We're about to be in the next generation. Yeah, generation gamma 2040 to 2054 and generation Delta 2055 to question mark, because will the world be around, who knows? Oh my gosh. So wow, you were right.

Speaker 2:What kind of dance?
Speaker 1:It is. We landed on jazz fusion just because that's kind of my style, because I kind of am. I just put like multiple kind of styles into one, and I was like because contemporary can mean a few things and like traditional jazz can mean one thing and I just kind of blend different styles together in my style of dance.
Speaker 2:So I was like jazz fusion kind of sounds like is this going to be like a test run and if it goes well, you might be a regular teacher?
Speaker 1:I don't know, he didn't offer that. He was just like do you want to come do a guest class? Okay, so I hope people go.
