Speaker 1:

You know, did you watch or listen to last week's episode?

Speaker 2:

After I edited it. Yeah, I didn't know.

Speaker 1:

We have no intro. How did we just not do it? Or I was like you must have cut it out on accident I listened to that thing three times through. I was like.

Speaker 2:

Wait, I remember.

Speaker 1:

Not there.

Speaker 2:

It.

Speaker 1:

Not there.

Speaker 2:

Weird.

Speaker 1:

So no intro. So I was like, I guess I'll just put it.

Speaker 2:

I'll put the intro music at the beginning. Oh weird, I feel like.

Speaker 1:

I remember I thought I did too, and then I was like I must be crazy because well, I wonder if you did just accidentally like yeah, I mean, I definitely could have because I cannot imagine we would forget to do the intro no, I swear, I remember us.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1:

I mean, yeah, it's going back and forth Doesn't help.

Speaker 2:

You know when I apologize for last week, but you know what? Here's this week's intro. Welcome back to the A-listist Podcast with Allison and Alex. I'm Allison, he's Alex. Sorry about that, guys. How could we let that slip our minds?

Speaker 1:

Well, I was very intensely speaking about Halloween slash theme parks and that's a passion of mine. I blame myself.

Speaker 2:

You should start your own. You should start your own theme park. Have you ever thought about that?

Speaker 1:

of course, when I was thinking about winning the lottery last week, I was like I would do it I would buy the six flags.

Speaker 2:

That's about to close yeah, and then just make it into you know the story of how they started knott's berry farm I, you have told me, but you should tell people, it's good okay, if you guys don't know, it's just off the top of my head so I'm probably going to miss some things, but the the start of Knott's Berry Farm started from just like a fruit stand.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And they were selling um boys and berries. Like they invented boys and berry. The people that that's right.

Speaker 1:

Yes, berry farm, it's a hybrid berry.

Speaker 2:

Yes, and like what these people in Southern California just invented this new berry.

Speaker 1:

In Orange County. They're doing some crazy shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah crazy. And then they had it kept people kept coming and it kept like the stand got bigger and bigger and then they started putting like carnival rides, like merry-go-round things like that as an attraction, because it was kind of like a roadside thing, yeah, and the rides just kept getting bigger and bigger too and the park just like formed basically. I mean obviously looks very different. It looked very different than it did now. And then walt disney jacked the theme park idea from the knott's Berry family.

Speaker 1:

That part I did not know or remember.

Speaker 2:

Literally I read it when I went to the chicken dinner and my mom and I were like what is? She was like what is this all about? And so I just like Googled some stuff and read the history. And when Walt had the idea of making the park, he was friends with Mr Knot.

Speaker 1:

Mr Knot.

Speaker 2:

I don't know his name.

Speaker 1:

Knot Barry.

Speaker 2:

Mr. Yeah, no, it's Knot. Remember that I know people with last name Barry. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1:

Rachel Barry from Glee.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, sorry guys. Sorry, sorry. Walt went to visit the park and he like walked around with him and um picked his brain on, like things that work and don't work and basically like took his inspiration from knott's berry farm and said I'm gonna buy the land two miles down the road literally and take everything and be more popular than you and be more, but they've survived. They have survived and I will say, like I don't know if they're barfing.

Speaker 2:

No, no, okay, sorry I will say I don't know if there was like bad blood or if it was just like but he definitely like was like I'm gonna come by and visit and then left and then just he's like taking notes the whole time yeah, just like was like I'm gonna do this better than you and not to discredit walt's vision, because I think he had a different and broader vision than the theme park of mr not, but still I think he jacked some ideas from him and I feel like not enough people know that. And give Mr Knot his flowers.

Speaker 1:

That's a documentary I want to watch, Truly Like the thing is, I love documentaries but all I want is to watch like theme park documentaries. There are a few good ones, but like.

Speaker 2:

I feel like they're all on the like abandoned ones, right.

Speaker 1:

Correct, why has there not been any? Or like what was that one that was so good on HBO max? You guys helped me. It was about a theme park that was so dangerous, like, but people just kept going it was in like Korea or something. No, it was in like Pennsylvania or something like that East coast for sure.

Speaker 2:

It wasn't Hershey park.

Speaker 1:

Love Hershey park, but no. I haven't been there anyway, it was um whatever. All I want is there to be a documentary about cedar point.

Speaker 2:

How has there not been? It's one of the oldest. They don't consent to it because they know that there can't be just positive like. They have to shed some light on like negative parts of it too and they don't want, yeah, to be part of that did you see the people who had to be walked off of the new?

Speaker 1:

sirens kiss. Yeah, yeah, from the very top, very top holding on. So crazy the thing is because, yes, boyfriend, showbiz too, it doesn't seem to be going well over there with Siren's Curse. It has been breaking down a little bit, but here's the thing. You can do this a private VIP morning tour at Cedar Point where they take you to the top of Siren's Curse Like you walk up, yeah, you walk up and down. True, true.

Speaker 2:

Do they put a little thing?

Speaker 1:

around your waist.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, sure, I do that. I'm sure it's a great view.

Speaker 1:

And fun. How have I not done that?

Speaker 2:

I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Hmm, we even, like when we were there at Cedar Point, watched people doing it in the morning how much do you think it cost I? Don't know, I'm not like I pay anything no, you wouldn't no I wouldn't, but I can't imagine me more than like 100 bucks. Yeah, could just to walk up we could speculate wildly for hours about this instead of.

Speaker 2:

Um. Well, yeah, I just. I keep hearing that it keeps breaking down and I'm concerned also oh, you talked about last time, never mind, I saw a uh, take talk on the cable breaking at cedar point on the power tower. Yeah was that a power tower? Not at knott's berry no, it was. It was cedar point okay, that makes me feel better still cedar fair still cedar fair oh well, let's just keep going on them and just keep rolling the dice on our lives.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I agree, good idea. How's your weekend? How was your weekend?

Speaker 2:

Oh man.

Speaker 1:

Slash the beginning of your wake.

Speaker 2:

I had friends in town that were going to the Oasis concert, which so many people did. Apparently I don't care about Oasis Hot take.

Speaker 1:

Well, because You're not a fan of.

Speaker 2:

Sail away, sail away.

Speaker 1:

That's not Oasis. Who's Oasis?

Speaker 2:

Come sail away. Is that what you're trying to do?

Speaker 1:

Is that them? No, oasis is Wonderwall oh right, we already did it, we already talked about this.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, love the song Wonderwall.

Speaker 1:

Totally After all.

Speaker 2:

I don't know any other ones, and I don't. It's not really my vibe.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

But I'm happy for everyone.

Speaker 1:

Are they still here or have they left?

Speaker 2:

They've left.

Speaker 1:

Not Oasis, your friends.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so we did just like had dinner and lunch a couple times and they came to the beach to watch, to like lay out and just have a beach day. But like Josh was also playing and so we just like hung out on the beach for a while, I bet that was a nice day for that too. It was yes. Side note, we have a few cooler days.

Speaker 1:

Coming up.

Speaker 2:

Right now.

Speaker 1:

Coming up.

Speaker 2:

And by that it's just 80.

Speaker 1:

We're in the eighties, you guys. We are, it just means it's not which I did.

Speaker 2:

Um oh, I also put out some fall decorations, because I just couldn't hold out anymore and I said you know what?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Be happy, Even if it's a little, even if it's a hundred degrees and even if you feel like silly because it's so hot, like it's not going to get cold for so long.

Speaker 1:

So I might as well which fall decorations did you put out?

Speaker 2:

So here's the thing I decided not to put out Halloween decorations yet. Okay, got you. Yeah, I just did fall.

Speaker 1:

Fall, you can leave on for a while. Yes, you can do September through November, correct, you could Well.

Speaker 2:

Here's the thing I know people get upset about Thanksgiving and it's like but what's a Thanksgiving decoration? It kind of goes with fall, but I want to enjoy my Christmas tree as long as I can.

Speaker 1:

I love a Thanksgiving Christmas decor situation.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I like to put my Christmas tree up in November at some point, not early November, but like. Before Thanksgiving, yeah, or like on Thanksgiving, or like you know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Whatever, because I want, I want to.

Speaker 1:

You want to enjoy the magic for as long as possible.

Speaker 2:

But with the fall decorations I decided I'm going to leave out the ghosts and ghouls. For now, okay, and I'll put those out in a few weeks, when it is almost October, basically Okay, or like maybe the beginning of October. So I just like, I changed out my throw blanket to orange and I have pumpkins everywhere. I just kept buying pumpkins. I have so many pumpkins of different sizes and hues, if you will.

Speaker 2:

I think I'm going to lean into. There's a lot of pink Halloween and fall decor like out right now. When I've been to tj maxx and um home goods, there's a lot of pink happening you're absolutely right. I was at home goods this weekend yeah, and you're right, a lot of pink and black, and I have a pink chair did you see the coffee cups that had ghosts and it was like oh, probably a pink and a black coffee cup set.

Speaker 1:

I was like this is cute I would have to.

Speaker 2:

I don't remember. I saw so many things. You know I, since I have a pink chair that kind of matches. I was like that kind of ties in. So I have um a couple of pink things in my cart, my Amazon cart slash. I might go back to home goods, uh, I got some like ghost uh soap dispensers that. I'll put out Uh, I'm looking for some hand towels for the bathroom that are fall related. But yeah, I mean not much, Just a bunch of pumpkins and pillow.

Speaker 1:

The real question have you set out candy corn and peanuts? No, but I can't wait for that.

Speaker 2:

Honestly, I'm kind of like I know Josh josh is gonna roast me, of course he is I'm just like I'm not ready for it, you know but it is so good I did. I bought a um candle warmer okay not not the wax warmer, but the like and I'm very excited about that what color? It's white, so it kind of just is neutral in my space, but I don't really have fall candles and it's like you were at home goods and didn't get a fall candle candles are kind of expensive we got that one the black, the one yeah, but it's like a, it's like a elf of a green you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1:

I do.

Speaker 2:

Candles are just kind of expensive and I'm I feel every time I go to know exactly what I'm talking about I do. Candles are just kind of expensive and I'm I feel every time I go to buy a candle I'm like god like how much is too much? I think 15 is too much for a candle I think that one was 12 and I know there's candles that are hundreds of dollars.

Speaker 1:

Those like really big ones.

Speaker 2:

Oh god love I the 22 candles from bath and body works like seem egregious to me oh, oh, I agree I don't know, it's just something about it. And so every time I go, I just like talk myself out of it, cause I'm like what?

Speaker 1:

what are we doing?

Speaker 2:

This is so expensive and you have other candles, but really I have winter Christmas candles.

Speaker 1:

Right, right right.

Speaker 2:

So I don't know.

Speaker 1:

This is such such a first row. I know this is also such a midwest conversation.

Speaker 2:

I love a apple scented candle in the fall time not me. I actually hate apple. Apple and pumpkin together is the worst okay but I don't know, apple makes me have what's it?

Speaker 1:

what's a good scent that you like in the fall time, like cider?

Speaker 2:

yeah, like more cinnamon based cllove. I do like pumpkin by itself. I hate the combo of pumpkin and apple.

Speaker 1:

Okay, guys, don't forget.

Speaker 2:

Caramel marshmallow pine that can go for both.

Speaker 1:

Sure, you like the warm scents.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there's just something about apple scented candles that gives me a headache.

Speaker 1:

For sure I get that.

Speaker 2:

The ones from Sweater Weather obviously is my favorite Sweater Weather From Bath at that. The ones from sweater weather obviously is my favorite weather from bath and body works. I like the one that is called leaves oh, okay, I bet it looks pretty yeah, I don't know what else, but really just not apple flavored. But I am happy for you that you like that thanks that's really it. I hung out and I decorated a little bit, and that's it. Yeah, what about you?

Speaker 1:

Chill weekend, but it's been busy since Monday. So, guys, it's already out so you can go watch on YouTube. Tomorrow is Wednesday for us here, so this past Wednesday for the listener slash viewer we we launched the Buzzfeed, we had the Buzzfeed reunion at Buzzfeed, so today and yesterday has been prepped for that.

Speaker 2:

Okay, now I'm back to talking real time. That's too hard. I am confused.

Speaker 1:

So today and yesterday has been prepped for that because they are announcing mine and Dylan's show. So as part of that, they decided that they wanted us to have a trailer. So we had no time to. We had our art, our art, our production. Designer built our room. So we finally decided on a design and built our confessional room like a reality show because we needed to film some content. So she finished building it at like I want to say three, 30 yesterday, and then we, up to that point, we're building our script. We shot at 5 PM, we were done by six, 30, and then I didn't leave Buzzfeed till 1 AM.

Speaker 2:

Cause you had a party. There's a party, no because we've been editing.

Speaker 1:

The party is tomorrow.

Speaker 2:

Oh, okay, did you get your facial.

Speaker 1:

No, that's tomorrow.

Speaker 2:

Oh, okay, I was going to say you don't look like you're peeling it.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no. So that was yesterday. I got up today really early to edit, to finish the edit based off the notes of the higher ups, finally locked that in. So anyway. And then, like BuzzFeed, right now looks like the most elaborate, expensive wedding is about to happen. The amount of vendors and people that I mean. The place was filled today. I couldn't even park there. They had to valet us because there was nowhere to park. Here's literally what my day is.

Speaker 1:

I'm setting up for the K-pop styling show on stage eight and then have to go to my facial. The peel. Leave Buzzfeed at four, get the facial. It's from four 30 to five, 30 back to Buzzfeed, changed into something 2015 inspired. That's the theme.

Speaker 2:

I don't know what boys wore in 2015. Your best.

Speaker 1:

I think this no, that was only 10 years ago Like I feel like exactly what I wear now, except maybe skinny jeans.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the girls were wearing that green jacket and I still have mine, you're right, you're right.

Speaker 1:

And they were Karina was looking at like or Emma was looking at 2015 fashion. It was like a lot of fringed jeans, but I don't remember that.

Speaker 2:

I don't either.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, we were 25.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So change into something, liv. Anyway, we were 25. Yeah, so change into something. Livestream goes live at 6.50 PM and then we're being interviewed somewhere around 7.30. So we're getting interviewed about what the show is, Then they're going to. And now here's the trailer for Gay and Trying.

The rest of today was just logistically planning. We have to film four more episodes before the end of this month, so like just so much going on yeah so tomorrow will be wild and then thursday we're shooting the styling show.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

um, yes, did you? We never talked about the cracker barrel, because it doesn't matter anymore.

Speaker 1:

They went back right, they went, they were.

Speaker 2:

And I have nothing to say other than I thought the new logo was ugly.

Speaker 1:

The new logo and the. Did you see the inside? What the?

Speaker 2:

inside. Oh yeah, yes, it was so.

Speaker 1:

Sparse and cold. Yeah, it wasn.

Speaker 2:

The chaos is comforting.

Speaker 1:

Correct and the lighting is more warm the fireplace is lit, you sit down.

Speaker 2:

You play checkers.

Speaker 1:

Oh my God, you play checkers in a rocking chair.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

They were wrong for that.

Speaker 2:

And I'm glad that they listened to the feedback Because a lot of people say, no, we're doing this.

Speaker 1:

But not only did they listen, it was fast, it was.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they're like whoa. Okay, I wonder what they were gonna do with the shop. Was that gonna change? I don't there.

Speaker 1:

Did you see the video of the inside?

Speaker 2:

no, I just saw a picture of a dining area that had like art, that was like yeah, like shadow box yeah, it wasn't right, but but what was the shop going to be? I?

Speaker 1:

mean it was still a shop, but it was like cold. It was just like the dining area. It's very sparse.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's not good.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm glad they've listened. I'm glad they're going back. Yeah, it's funny.

Speaker 2:

What was that accent?

Speaker 1:

No, are you watching Wednesday?

Speaker 2:

I already finished it. I watched it forever ago.

Speaker 1:

How was it with Gaga?

Speaker 2:

No, oh no, I haven't seen the new episodes, are they out?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they came out on the 8th.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I had no idea Is today the 8th, Today's the 9th. They came out on History Day. Had no idea they came out.

Speaker 1:

Oh, they're out.

Speaker 2:

I haven't watched it because I'm still and yeah, but I do want to watch that. Oh, let's talk about hunting wives oh, let's talk about it guys.

Speaker 1:

I finished spoiler alerts ahead. Wait, did you watch?

Speaker 2:

unknown number no, but I got spoiled on what the outcome you need to watch it just so we can talk about some stuff.

Speaker 1:

I do want to watch it, but I got spoiled on what the outcome is.

Speaker 2:

You need to watch it just so we can talk about some stuff.

Speaker 1:

I do want to watch it, but I got spoiled and everyone else knows, but we got to talk about it, so put that on your list. It's an easy watch.

Speaker 2:

It is, it is.

Speaker 1:

Hunting Wives spoilers ahead most likely.

Speaker 2:

Hunting Wives yes Spoiler. Spoiler alert. Why can I not speak.

Speaker 1:

I'm not first like two or three episodes I had seen up into into the funeral. Oh right, yes. So like I, and what I said to you was like you're gonna be the amount of deaths that are about to happen, yeah, pretty wild because I had said my uh list of possible people was obviously.

Speaker 2:

So sophie or whatever um the head hbic yeah red-haired housewife um who does some kinky shit with her husband yes, did I tell you that josh was like he called it as soon as he dropped his pants for her to give him the steroid shot. He was like that was a little too casual that he dropped his pants like that. I don't like, I'm suspicious. And then that scene came up where she was behind him, if you know what I mean, and he was like oh, called that yeah it was like it was a lot, yeah, but I don't know my list of people, yeah.

Speaker 2:

and then the next episode I watched was where everyone died. Chrissy, oh, the youth pastor was on my list. He unalived himself.

Speaker 1:

And then he was guilty of something, but it wasn't that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay, oh, that's one of my issues. That side story was crazy and then we just forgot about it. The youth pastor had kidnapped two girls and was trying to take them across state lines in a U-Haul and they pull him over. He's like, oh my God, and he shoots himself. And then we just like never revisit this story.

Speaker 1:

Because I and I had the same thought and I was like it's, it must be that, because the only purpose of that was to show us that, aha, you probably thought these things were connected and they actually weren't. They were two completely separate but like this is.

Speaker 2:

We should have been worried about this, okay right, yeah, yeah, this is what we should have been worried about, for sure um, and then, yeah, the girl who got murdered, her mom, goes to the boyfriend's mom house and then they both kill each other. That was well.

Speaker 1:

Well, no, redhead kills. Yeah, Anyway those people die.

Speaker 2:

So then they're off the list.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, bye.

Speaker 2:

And also like that was a crazy scene, because why didn't that lady just call the police? And be like this lady attacked me.

Speaker 1:

She didn't have anything to hide.

Speaker 2:

It's weird, I don't know the drama. I just feel like everyone was making the worst decisions. And then we get to the last episode, and when I tell you that I've never seen a character make worse decisions in my life.

Speaker 1:

It was like one after another, after another.

Speaker 2:

You're like she is like hey, I'm gonna go to the liquor store. I need to take these shots right now, while I'm driving, even though I already have been in trouble and killed someone for drinking and driving Got a DUI, killed someone drinking and driving. Like screw it, I'm just going to do it, mm-hmm, no. Then he, the brother, comes out and instead of just like reversing and just continuing to reverse, and she's in a Tesla.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the easiest thing to she could have and gone the other way so fast and she could have just not even turned all the way around, just went around him so fast. Do you know how fast those accelerate? I drive one. It accelerates so freaking fast, I can beat everyone in a green light.

Speaker 1:

Instant torque.

Speaker 2:

Instant torque. She just goes. I'm going to run him over.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Killed another person, drunk driving, yep. And then she the thought process there Should have I know Should have. And then she yep the the thought process there should have. I know should have just been like he had pulled a gun on me.

Speaker 1:

Exactly Call the police and just be like fuck.

Speaker 2:

And she was like because she's drunk.

Speaker 1:

They were like sure, but he had so many priors that, yeah, it would have been fine.

Speaker 2:

Why didn't she just let it keep ringing and just push him over the edge?

Speaker 1:

And then puts it in her pocket. Yeah, so now there's ping Evidence all over.

Speaker 2:

What has anyone? Has anyone ever watched a crime documentary in their life?

Speaker 1:

Apparently not the person that wrote this book.

Speaker 2:

Because cell phones are the biggest giveaway, 100% Because they're pinging everywhere.

Speaker 1:

Everywhere, all the time.

Speaker 2:

And even if you turn it off and then when you turn it back on, that's suspicious Ping.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Over the edge.

Speaker 1:

Over the edge with his body. What the hell.

Speaker 2:

Dumb, yep, so I just feel like everything was dumb.

Speaker 1:

And it was horny.

Speaker 2:

Couldn't stop. They couldn't stop having sex Every every 10 minutes.

Speaker 1:

They couldn't stop themselves.

Speaker 2:

They could not stop themselves.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So it was just like that, and then poor decisions ruining their lives.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And I was mad at it. I'm not going to lie, I wasn't. I didn't leave the season being like, wow, what a great movie.

Speaker 1:

I well show.

Speaker 2:

Or show.

Speaker 1:

And I certainly did. I don't. I loved it and I can't wait for season two.

Speaker 2:

No, I was just like what? Yeah, I'm sure I'll watch season two, of course you will. But I'm mad at it.

Speaker 1:

I'm really sorry about that.

Speaker 2:

It's okay, that's all. That's yeah Did you watch the VMAs?

Speaker 1:

No, actually, why would I react? Because, yes, I should. That's like my thing. I have watched. I have now, though, you know I've seen the vmas like it's all over tiktok.

Speaker 2:

I feel like I've seen yeah, I didn't watch them as they were on, I just skipped through to watch the uh performances okay, well, but you've seen the performances yes, I have what have. What are your thoughts?

Speaker 1:

I'm going to say it I did get chills watching Tate McRae. What other performances did you like?

Speaker 2:

Okay. So I liked Sabrina's. I loved the Little Shop of Horrors reference, I loved all the queens, but I had a good time. And now, since I've learned that dance, I was like cute, yeah, but I enjoyed it. I loved the visuals and everything. She had a Britney moment too, with the water. She was wet.

Speaker 1:

Everything comes back to Britney. She was a pioneer. Britney Spears the guys were talking about Britney.

Speaker 2:

Spears Okay, Lady Gaga. Obviously it was prerecorded and I have some information from another podcast I listened to because she did it at the New York show the night before. Oh, okay.

Speaker 2:

And they were annoyed because the show was supposed to start at like 840 or something and at 830 they were walking in and they were like we heard abracadabra and we came running because we were like how are we late? And then they get there and they're like, oh, someone in the crowd was like, oh, she's filming for the vmas and she did that so many times over an hour the show. Her show didn't start until 9 40 wait, she performed abracadabra for the taping over and over.

Speaker 1:

So people were there to see the show, just like watching this.

Speaker 2:

Which I guess some people probably didn't care and they were like this is cool. Like behind the scenes that we get to like be a part of, but also if you are tired.

Speaker 1:

Or I was like.

Speaker 2:

Because how long is the show you went?

Speaker 1:

Two hours Two and a half. Yeah, that's so late. I mean, we were getting out at 1140. So they probably didn't get out till after Well, after midnight.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to crack this so you can talk.

Speaker 1:

I wonder what I know. What I was going to say is I also feel like there are people that would probably be bummed if it's like if they really wanted to live in the illusion of mayhem ball cause you walk in and everything is curated.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

The pre message that's happening on the screen like everything, and then to go in and see this like all right, we're going to take it back from the top.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and then just like see in a second, and then like and those times, and then they had to go do their whole show but I guess so did she oh, you were saying maybe, maybe different dancers I was gonna say that, but it's like, why would she do that?

Speaker 1:

no, it's the set that's already there, but maybe I would know if I saw I don't know, I didn't know um actually did one of the songs that she performed what started with abracadabra, then she didn't, went to another one I don't remember I didn't know. It doesn't matter, because you don't, you didn't listen to mayhem I listened to it once, but I don't really remember were you gonna say something else about performances?

Speaker 2:

I was oh go ahead, go ahead, go ahead alex warren, cult leader and I'm here for it I am happy for a content creator that moved his way up to being having the number one song for a long time. Yeah, but it sounds like he's singing with a sock in his throat. What is that? Just just his vocal.

Speaker 1:

Am I out of touch? No, it's just his vocal style it's not my favorite I'm not a huge fan either. I did watch him perform it live at the amas and it was great to watch live. And then, when they cut the cameras, he huggedged every member of that choir and he did the same thing. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

It's just like not, the music isn't for me, but I'm happy that you know he can't. He started from the bottom. Yeah, okay, conan Gray, I think I'm just too old, I am too. He reminds me of Joey Graceffa. Maybe it was just this, this aesthetic, that was with the cape and the sleeping beauty or whatever vibe. It was like giving joy griseffa, and I couldn't think of anything else for sure he vocally sounded good yeah, but I'm also I just don't think I'm.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think it's not for me. Yeah, same, but anyway, I I had the winners list just to give the oh, that's what I'm gonna ask.

Speaker 1:

Okay, cute, good rundown. Thank you, fun fashion. Did anyone else see Doja eat her lipstick? Do you think it was real?

Speaker 2:

I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1:

On the red carpet, she puts on lipstick and then eats her lipstick. Oh, and everyone's like. I was like. I'm pretty sure it probably wasn't really lipstick no I'm sure no, because, like I feel like when you get lipstick on your teeth or your mouth, it's like stain, like it's pretty intense yeah like chewed this shit, swallowed.

Speaker 2:

It was like and there's nothing weird. I do remember um. I didn't care for her performance, but oh oh yeah, it was fine I just I love that song you don't like it. I don't think I do.

Speaker 1:

Every day I listen to it at least 10 times.

Speaker 2:

Wow.

Speaker 1:

Have you seen the video?

Speaker 2:

No, is it also 80s like that?

Speaker 1:

Yes, and it's very cool. Okay, yeah, you need to watch it.

Speaker 2:

I mean. The dance break in her performance from the.

Speaker 1:

VMAs was so good.

Speaker 2:

The dance break was good but just the overall vibe.

Speaker 1:

I just like didn't feel like an opener to me. Oh, oh, it didn't get me. Yeah, oh, that's strange, I thought tate's was the opener by that. No, that wasn't such a good performance no, it was dojo okay, all right vmas.

Speaker 2:

Do you know about the girls trying to go to nice? They go to africa. I saw this tick. Do you think?

Speaker 1:

it saw this TikTok.

Speaker 2:

Do you think it's real?

Speaker 1:

No, I don't think it's real?

Speaker 2:

I don't think it's real either, but if you guys don't know, because they scan your ticket. Yeah, they would have to be really, really dumb. But the rundown is there are these girls who are coming from Rome, italy, and they are trying to go to Nice, france, and they the first video they posted was like in in the airplane. And they're like when you thought you were going to Nice, france, and you find out you're on the plane going to Tunis, tunisia which also they kept saying to cause I looked up how to say this Tunis.

Speaker 2:

They kept saying Tunis, africa. And people were like, okay, africa is a continent, right, yeah, um. And so they're on the plane and they're like laughing and freaking out Cause they're like what do we do? Then they're like is this plane going to Nice? And then the people are being like Tunis and it's like right, tunis, tunis, yeah and so it's just like.

Speaker 2:

This like thing in the video is like them, like discovering that they're on the wrong flight, and then they proceeded to put out like 20 videos. There's so many videos of them in the airport sitting in, talking to airport like officials I've not seen that filming, filming so many people that, like I don't think, knew they were being filmed. And all the comments. None of the comments are on their side. They're like you guys are stupid. Yeah, you went through because they missed their original flight to nice, france, nice, france.

Speaker 2:

So they had to rebook and so they went to rebook and whether the booking agent heard Tunis, tunisia or Tunis, because they were like we're going Tunis.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

There was so many things that they would have seen up until then. Their ticket would have said it, their ticket would have said it, the gate would have said it. The people, the gate agents, would have been saying boarding flight, blah, blah, blah. I understand boarding flight to Nice, but they would have said to Nice.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So it does feel like it's not real, or like they're actually like shouldn't be traveling because they're actually really not intelligent enough to be on their own, are they? American? I think so.

Speaker 1:

So the only thing I would say is like, maybe the overcome in Rome doesn't do it in English, maybe not, I can't remember.

Speaker 2:

Obviously the countries I've been to. I think they say everything in multiple languages usually.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

And usually English is one of them. It's like it's like the native English or the native uh, what's the word?

Speaker 2:

Native language Native language, and then usually in English, because there are so many people who speak English traveling. But it would have been written yeah, it would have been displayed so many places who speak english traveling right, but it would have been written yeah, it would have been displayed so many places, exactly, yeah. So it feels like they were just trying to go viral, but I not. The whole comment section is like this is on you. You guys are dumb idiots, so I don't know I don't know if it I guess we'll find out.

Speaker 1:

We will find out. The internet will reveal the truth Really.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I would I. They got to take if they're lying. They got to take it to the grave.

Speaker 1:

That's true.

Speaker 2:

But I hope it was worth it. If it is a lie, I hope it was worth it. If it's not, nice, so we you were going to get. Let me start over the Ariana Grande ticket situation today. It seems like everyone was in a tizzy and no one got tickets, from what I've seen on my Tik TOK Remind me how we used to buy tickets.

Speaker 1:

What is really like?

Speaker 2:

I don't remember now because I I don't go to a lot of concerts and the last concert that I specifically bought tickets for was bts, and it was a pre-sale situation and, as we said before, I was in line. I was only in line for like an hour and the only thing available was the last row in multiple sections, so that's my only thing of it. But, like what did we used to do, did we not just go to to take a master?

Speaker 1:

and buy it. It just like it's become such a thing but why?

Speaker 2:

what was? What was broken about that process? Just because the servers can't handle? Yeah, I don't know. But these people are, I think. I don't know I don't either we. It has to be fixed, like the issue of concert ticket purchasing we, I think, for every concert. It's insane and no one likes it. No one's having a time. People aren't getting tickets. Yeah, if they are, they're being purchased by resellers who are putting up, yeah, the price so much and like something has to change.

Speaker 1:

I don't understand yeah, it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2:

I don't like it but the process worked before because it was internet. Yes, like it wasn't pre-internet. It was like the internet is a thing, ticket master exists, you just, it gets released. You go on the site and you buy your tickets.

Speaker 1:

I I think there's a part of it too, that's like because everything has some it's fan club pre-sale a master card card holders okay, sale, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

like there's so many have those and just open the site. And yeah, I don't understand, because if that many people are on the site waiting, what's the difference between the people just being like, okay, this pre-sale opens at 12, first come, first serve, get on, because the people are still on the site waiting?

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

So if it's going to crash, isn't it going to crash anyway? I'm obviously not a computer science major.

Speaker 1:

Sure sure.

Speaker 2:

But I really don't get it.

Speaker 1:

Also the price of things.

Speaker 2:

It's just like how have we gotten so far from just like a 200 ticket yeah, well, I think part of it probably has to do with the fact that artists don't make money off of touring. It's the merch well, I was gonna say off of, because they're not making money off of cd sales anymore oh right and then, like I don't know really how much you make from streaming, like, do you?

Speaker 2:

know, not a lot. So then touring is a way to make money off of merch. It's so expensive to book the venues and to pay for sets and stuff like that, so they're having to mark up the ticket prices in order to do that. I guess just inflation on all of those things. But like what? Tickets starting at 600?

Speaker 1:

that's without resellers buying them yeah and that's for bad seats I assume, that's not okay and I was looking through other cities and they were all the same like around the cheaper. Cheapest I saw was like 480. And here's the other thing I have about this specific concert she's performing in la for four. She added a fifth date today. Three dates are at the um kia forum, two dates are at the she needs to be bigger than that at exactly, at the, indeed, or whatever, the lakers, wherever the laker, whatever that's called now, not the staples center anymore it is crypto, what's not staples.

Speaker 1:

Sorry, why didn't she just do three dates at sofi? Yeah, she could definitely sell out, so far, of course.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so dylan and I were talking about that.

Speaker 1:

It just doesn't make sense and like, clearly it was a Three dates at SoFi. Yeah, she could definitely sell out SoFi, of course. Yeah, so Dylan and I were talking about that. It just doesn't make sense. And like clearly it was a something to do with scheduling, that she's having the show to three days in one location, two days in another.

Speaker 2:

Well, because it's in September next year.

Speaker 1:

June.

Speaker 2:

Oh, it's not football season then.

Speaker 1:

Right, it's not football season then. Right, it's in June, weird so weird.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I wonder if they put her in the forum because they were like when was the last time she toured?

Speaker 1:

Oh, my God.

Speaker 2:

They were like worried that she wasn't going to sell.

Speaker 1:

And then they saw Selling tickets between the first and second wicked movies and people not seeing. The last two albums toured Like she's could have sold out so far for three nights.

Speaker 2:

Of course.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's weird, I agree Interesting, so we'll see Like maybe boy has a connection and we can still go.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I would like to go, but I like literally I.

Speaker 1:

I don't care enough about anyone to pay. I told you 300 earlier, but I want to preface that by like, not 300, nosebleeds like 300 yeah in a middle section.

Speaker 2:

I would do that possibly if I'm in a place in my life where, like I, have 300 extra dollars that I don't like need for something I don't know. It's just like getting into something else yeah, but like I think there's things that I would rather do, just because concerts it's such a to-do, and especially here, like driving down my god yeah there and like the parking is terrible and yeah, like I have to be in the right mindset to be like cool with all of that.

Speaker 2:

I don't sound souls. But like then thinking about, yeah, if this, if the seats aren't good and I'm paying that much, like I'm just going to be like uncomfortable and like what for that much money? I? Just like don't care about that. I hear you, I hear you I don't know, but I know that people do and like I'm not knocking you. If that's like what you want to spend your money on, Like I'm so happy for everyone.

Speaker 1:

She's so happy.

Speaker 2:

I'm so happy. No, I really am Like genuinely, like it's just because it's not like my like top priority thing to spend money on. Like I would rather go on a trip, I would rather like yes. You know what I mean. Spend $300 on a plane ticket, yeah. Then spend $300 on nosebleed seats.

Speaker 1:

I will say for a note about resellers so the one of the girls that I went to see Gaga with in Vegas she got she actually got through the um ticket master fiasco for Taylor Swift tickets when that whole thing went crazy. So she actually got like floor seats no, not floor. That was the first section for like the normal price.

Speaker 2:

So I don't know somewhere around 350 a ticket okay and then, because the demand was so high she was able to resell them four tickets at a rate that she then took that money and bought a box seat oh I was like now that's a resell I could get on board with and and like people reselling, I care less about that right then, then, like shady, just trying to make money shady, like there's companies out there as we know that their whole thing is like making up an identity, yeah, and calling places and buying tickets to concerts sporting events, whatever getting season tickets to sporting events and making up this identity and, like the, the places try to not sell to that the they'll ask questions and these people just like make up stories of like why they need these tickets and just for them to re turn around and resell and it's like sure If a real person, if you bought a ticket and the demand is so high and like someone's willing to spend $20,000, sell the freaking ticket yeah.

Speaker 2:

But that's more ethical than like a shady, like a random company that, like their whole thing, is to 100% swindle people. Yeah, I don't like it.

Speaker 1:

I don't like it either, so clip that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. Have you ever heard of the bean soup theory?

Speaker 1:

Yes, that it shouldn't exist.

Speaker 2:

Um no.

Speaker 1:

Oh, then do enlighten.

Speaker 2:

Okay. So you know how on takeok, anytime that someone shares something, a recipe or I don't know something like their diy or they're making, and you go to the comments and there's always a comment that is like can I substitute? Like cool, but can I substitute this for that I get what?

Speaker 1:

you're saying, but I've never seen that.

Speaker 2:

But I see the original where that came from, apparently, is that someone would made a video making bean soup on Tik Tok on Tik Tok recipe. It was just like a wholesome like. Here's my recipe for my favorite bean soup.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Whatever. And then, like a bunch of the comments in there was like okay, but what if you don't like beans? Or what if? What if beans mess with your stomach? What can I substitute? And people like the.

Speaker 1:

The obvious thing is like then don't make, don't make bean soup, because it's literally bean, but there's like a psychological study that people have like done with this.

Speaker 2:

That's like the innate human need to make everything revolve around you, or like make relate something to like how does it affect me and not how does it affect other people.

Speaker 1:

So rather, than what you're saying is like, rather than me be like. Okay, well, I hate beans, so what else could I use instead of beans? That is because I'm like well, I don't like beans.

Speaker 2:

So what can I get? How can I make this work for me, rather than being like I don't eat beans, so this isn't for me, and typing it so that people respond to you being like, oh well, you could put I don't know what, like you can't substitute anything in bean soup that is not a bean, but it's like the. It's like a need to have, like someone acknowledge you and feel like making it relate to you in some way, so that you feel seen. I don't know, but it's. It's weird that there's a application of a human behavior coming from TikTok, which there probably are so many other behaviors that we could see, but I had. I never knew where that came from, because I always see like, literally, cause I love to look at a recipe on TikTok and that is so true. People will be like, okay, here's my ham sandwich recipe. And then there'll be comments that will be like what can I? I don't like ham. What can I substitute? I don't know. Figure it out.

Speaker 2:

Turkey, any number of things, but why do you need me to tell you?

Speaker 1:

that Wow.

Speaker 2:

Or like a recipe that's like almond milk and people will be like, well, can I use coconut milk? Probably, yeah, try it, I don't it is. It has always been weird to me seeing those comments, but I've never like really thought about the psyche of it, processed it. I'm just like what a dumb question. Yeah, or like that person isn't a chef, they're just a girl making bean soup.

Speaker 1:

It's just yeah, family recipe, calm down, I don't know, I just thought it was a very interesting thing, it is Wow.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, do you want to get into A?

Speaker 1:

list of the weakest. I hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it. It's time I need you to give me the lead in.

Speaker 2:

No, no, Say it's time for?

Speaker 1:

Was that the Addams Family?

Speaker 2:

I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I was just going to go.

Speaker 2:

I was going to give you a jazzy that's it. That's it yeah okay, my list of the week is I'm gonna I'm gonna give it caleb's a promo here for his coffee, zappy Coffee, but putting coffee concentrate. I know that people do like protein shakes with coffee.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But the concentrate makes a difference, and I'm going to tell you why Because it doesn't water it down.

Speaker 1:

Oh right.

Speaker 2:

So I've really been into this like chocolate protein shake. Okay, yeah, yeah and put that in the cup with some ice, and then you use the coffee concentrate and then it doesn't water down the shake right well, no, because I'm using the same amount as if I would be just making because, like, really thinking it's it's the same amount of like water I would have.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm sorry, you don't. You don't fill it with the concentrate, you just use the same amount of concentrate you would use yes but instead of you were literally just saying with caleb's, for example.

Speaker 2:

Three capfuls is like what I do okay and so the same thing like I put the ice in, I pour the shake in, because it's like a pre-made like in a can shake, and then I do the three capfuls and then got even a little bit crazier used. Oh my God, I have like the Chobani cookie dough creamer.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, yeah, it's delish.

Speaker 2:

A tiny little like teaspoon, like of that A little dash. And it just makes such a delicious like mocha coffee situation. And I am just saying it's a game changer with the concentrate rather than being like, okay, I'm gonna make my coffee and then I'm gonna have my protein, and then I'm just gonna like mix them together.

Speaker 1:

Too watery, too much liquid yeah not it concentrate way to go hell yeah, what a great tip, thank you um, but if I don't like coffee, what should I do instead? You should suck my well, my list of the week for once isn't food oh my god okay it's a song love it's speed demon by justin bie. You heard this.

Speaker 2:

No. He just released, on Friday, swaggy part two Right On the same day that Hailey got into Sephora.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 2:

There was drama with that.

Speaker 1:

What. Because yeah, it was like the Took her thunder.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was like the opening day of her being in Sephora, because she previously could only get her products online.

Speaker 1:

Hailey Bieber.

Speaker 2:

Road Beauty.

Speaker 1:

Didn't know anything about this. So what is it? Skincare.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh my gosh, you would probably like it. It's good.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so she's now in Sephora.

Speaker 2:

Yes, and same day that then he released part two and people were like oh, of course, like you're just like yeah a little weird. It probably comes down to just there's only so many Fridays and the year and it just happened to be on the same day, but people loved it. You know, of course tear everything apart.

Speaker 1:

But speed demon guys. This song is catchy. It's catchy and it's good and I love it and it's been on repeat along with perry perry of christina perry.

Speaker 2:

Oh, oh my gosh little mix thank you I have something to say after this okay, she released.

Speaker 1:

She released on friday a single from her upcoming album called um. I don't know what the album is called, but this one is called Cute Aggression.

Speaker 2:

This song is so good, she has a good voice.

Speaker 1:

So that and Speed Demon, I'm just like flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.

Speaker 2:

I would like to listen to Perry's.

Speaker 1:

You need to.

Speaker 2:

It's really good, we didn't talk about Fifth Harmony.

Speaker 1:

You're right and we absolutely must.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, what are your thoughts?

Speaker 1:

Fifth Harmony guys. Fifth Harmony, if you don't know, came back and had a mini little reunion by way of the Jonas Brothers concert and they did a little work from home and whoa, it was a mess. It was a mess. I'm loving the recreations people are doing on TikTok. It was. I've never seen four people be on such different wavelengths with their performance. It was wild.

Speaker 2:

I feel bad. I do think it was probably a last minute thing.

Speaker 1:

And they just shouldn't have danced, they should have just come out, looked hot.

Speaker 2:

Or just like minimal, something minimal.

Speaker 1:

But why, like Normani is like, I'm getting this and she did.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and Normani is a star, but like she hasn't really done much. So it's like if Fifth Harmony is going to get back together, like let's do it, camila Cabello, like whatever, but she could come back. She's not like really doing anything right now to my knowledge. Yeah, but yeah they should have just like stood there or done something very minimal, because the outfits I mean that too. The choreography. The song Sounded good.

Speaker 1:

The song would sound because they're great singers, but work from home you can literally just strut, just literally walk around the stage.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we're walking stage right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we're walking stage left.

Speaker 2:

I mean mean, it's truly a strut song give like a little sway like posing yeah, but no, they there was a little bit of like people clowned on them because the back track did have camila cabello in it. Oh, but again, if it was a last minute thing, like what are they gonna get in the studio and lay down a new take off from? Tracking vocals no so that part I like. Did you see that on the?

Speaker 1:

carpet afterward, when so Camila Cabello commented, or like hearted it, yeah. And they asked Lauren. They were like, did you see? And she was like no, I didn't know that. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I think she probably did that just to be like there's no, there's no beef Right, but is there beef?

Speaker 1:

and she's trying to get ahead of it because, like lauren wasn't like oh my god, I didn't, that's it, she was like no, I didn't know that lauren is on dancing with the stars this season oh, you're right, she is I'm excited for that. Yeah, I hope she does well, I can't believe this show still is on and people I would rather have a little mix back. Yeah, I would love to have a little mix back. That's not happening why, they're all moms and also jesse's like. Jessie is the Camilla of the group.

Speaker 2:

You can't be a mom and be a pop star. You 100% can.

Speaker 1:

You're right Ask Halty.

Speaker 2:

Jessie, what?

Speaker 1:

She's not in the group anymore, like she's never doing it again.

Speaker 2:

Would she say that?

Speaker 1:

She said it was very toxic for her.

Speaker 2:

So then they were a little mixed the girls, or just like the industry, the whole thing thing, the three of them did two albums without her all right.

Speaker 1:

Well then, let's go girls you're right spice girls I would love to see the spice girls. Babe says that's the only show that he would actually like spare no expense on. Yeah, I would.

Speaker 2:

I would spend. I would spend more than normal if it was like the perfect yeah storm of spice girls I would pay a lot.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I see you're saying, yeah, I would also pay. I would pay a good bit to see you're saying, yeah, I would also pay, I would pay a good bit to see a legacy artist like if selena ever to it again. I don't want to miss that because it's not going to be forever, and that would be an amazing show to witness yeah I would probably pay good money to see that yeah how about you? Would you pay? Really, who would you actually? You'd be like fuck, I'm gonna hate doing this, but I'm where?

Speaker 2:

where are my scenes?

Speaker 1:

I guess the point is like what artist would you actually be? Like I don't care where I sit, like I'm not gonna miss this. So if the ticket's a thousand dollars, the ticket's a thousand dollars. There's got to be someone. What about a festival like that 90s, like the early 2000s? Would you pay? Like? A thousand bucks to go to something like that.

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 1:

And see like okay, I would like to see BTS again.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

I don't. I wouldn't pay a ton of money, but it would be fun to like get last minute tickets or something to see the, the boys mind tour, brandy and monica, I think that would be such a good show.
