SPEAKER_01 0:51

Um, yeah, my neck hurts really bad. My I did make the mistake of going to CrossFit the night before, and we did a lot of squats. But then my hamstring was like cramping up while we were dancing. It was like I had never danced in my life before.

It's good. I was at a premiere last night and it is cold.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

I saw what was it?

SPEAKER_03 1:27

Five Nights at Freddy Dose.

SPEAKER_01 1:29

Have you seen the first one?

SPEAKER_03 1:30

No. Didn't realize, didn't really know much about it. I knew it was a game like a from forever ago, but it has like a cult following.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

It does.

SPEAKER_03 1:37

There were so many fans there because they did the premiere like I was there a month ago for the Stranger Things premiere, and it was like a shutdown the streets kind of event. This was literally no street shutdown. It was just But they should have. The celebs were being dropped off on Hollywood Bowl, like right to the carpet into the Gromans Theater.

SPEAKER_00 1:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:55

So like the carpet was really small, actually. There wasn't a ton of us on the PR, like PR press line. Um and but we got to talk to everyone, it was really cool. Josh Richardson remembered me and Joyce.

SPEAKER_01 2:08

Oh yeah, he has a mustache in this film, correct?

SPEAKER_03 2:12

That I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 2:13

Oh, did he not in real life?

SPEAKER_03 2:14

He didn't in real life.

SPEAKER_01 2:15

Okay. I think I saw a video of him. What do you think about horror movies in December?

SPEAKER_03 2:21

I think I don't like it. You don't so you don't like Krampus?

SPEAKER_01 2:25

No.

SPEAKER_03 2:26

It's a Christmas horror.

SPEAKER_01 2:28

Yeah, I don't like it. He's like a scary creature, right?

SPEAKER_03 2:31

He is, yeah. I don't like that. I said something for the city.

SPEAKER_01 2:34

Let's keep let's keep December merry and bright. Yeah. Let's keep it wholesome.

SPEAKER_03 2:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 2:42

We don't need horror.

SPEAKER_03 2:43

No, you're right.

SPEAKER_01 2:44

I don't like it.

unknown 2:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

But I've not seen Five Nights at Freddy's, and I wonder if I would hate it.

SPEAKER_03 2:51

You probably would.

SPEAKER_01 2:53

But it's giving um Chuck E.

SPEAKER_03 2:57

Cheese?

SPEAKER_01 2:57

Yeah. Oh yeah. Charles E. Cheese.

SPEAKER_03 3:00

Yes. I the woman next to me was saying, because I don't know anything about them, but she said that although it's a horror movie, she said they're not really scary. It's kind of just like. I picked up trying to figure out what these movies are about based on the little bits I was hearing from interviews and stuff. It has something to do with AI or voodoo. It's in New Orleans.

SPEAKER_01 3:21

I love that.

SPEAKER_03 3:22

Don't understand what Josh is. I think Josh is a bad guy. No, Matthew Lillard is the bad guy. But I don't know if that's because he's the person.

SPEAKER_01 3:29

Matthew Lillard, who's that?

SPEAKER_03 3:30

He played Shaggy and Scooby-Doo live action. He's from Scream.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

Oh, that's his name.

SPEAKER_03 3:35

He I don't know if he's in one of the costumes. We don't actually know that's Matthew Lillard, or if it is Matthew Lillard and he's doing voodoo, or he's an AI programmer. I've known I know nothing. Do you want to sit with me?

SPEAKER_01 3:47

What I'm gonna say is I think I don't care about it. I'm gonna feel great. If maybe it's like a plane launch.

SPEAKER_03 3:55

Uh a horror on a plane, that's also hard. You don't want to anxiety induce yourself.

In-Flight Medical Scare And Southwest Rant

SPEAKER_01 4:00

That's not what would give me anxiety.

unknown 4:02

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 4:03

Oh my gosh. For the first time in my days, I was on a plane where someone there was a medical emergency and someone they asked if there was a doctor or a medical professional on the core club. I wish I could have said yes in that moment. And I will say it they were delayed. They weren't sure if they wanted to provide their services.

SPEAKER_03 4:24

Really? Oh no.

SPEAKER_01 4:26

It was like um, because we were like kind of close to the front-ish. Okay. By the way, we flew southwest because we had to, and I haven't flown southwest in a while. Pretty sure we paid the price for the new system, but the new system isn't in effect. So it was still, you know how they're like changing it to where it's not gonna be open seating anymore.

SPEAKER_03 4:50

No more free bags.

SPEAKER_01 4:52

No, we did have to pay for those, which is annoying. But the new system is like you the prices are different for those. So I'm pretty sure we paid a higher price than like we normally would, but we still it was still open seating. And it was still like oh my gosh. Literally, I think for us to upgrade to early bird or whatever, I think for like one flight it was like 80 bucks a piece. It would have it was crazy.

SPEAKER_03 5:25

Yeah, the the benefit to Southwest was$25 to get early and two free bags.

SPEAKER_01 5:31

Like literally$80,$90.

SPEAKER_03 5:32

You literally would put up with the random seating because you got two free bags and you could pay$25 to make sure you get the seat you want.

SPEAKER_01 5:39

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_03 5:40

What's the point? Like, what's the goal?

SPEAKER_01 5:41

And the first the first time I was so on it, I was refreshing. I was counting down on my watch seconds, refreshed it. We actually got like A40 in the first flight, and then like I don't know, something better than that for our second flight.

SPEAKER_03 5:57

Okay, so you got to pick your seats because as long as you're in A, you're pretty much Well, we weren't on the way home, we were in B because we had to change plans because there was no more non-stop.

SPEAKER_01 6:06

Oh, okay. It was it was actually not fun for that part.

unknown 6:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:10

Um, on the way home, we were in B, and we were like, we're not gonna go sit next to each other. We actually did, and it was fine. Okay, but we were like, if you don't pay$90, now you're just like what's the screwed?

SPEAKER_03 6:23

I don't know. Hello, Spirit, it's knocking on Spirit Airlines border.

SPEAKER_01 6:27

Literally, so I don't want to do that again. No. Oh, so rewind medical emergency. So they come over the loudspeaker and they're like, This is on the way. We had to fly to Orlando first. On the way there, it was so annoying. He is so cute.

SPEAKER_03 6:42

Is he just resting his head?

SPEAKER_01 6:43

Yeah, his eyes are closed.

SPEAKER_03 6:44

Is he breathing? Yeah, he's dead ass asleep. This is weird.

SPEAKER_01 6:48

It looks well, don't say dead if you're acting.

SPEAKER_03 6:50

If you're asking if he's from my angle, it looks like he's deceased. His neck is like crooked.

SPEAKER_01 6:55

He's not. I just think that your that um hip is a little higher. So he's so they go up and come over the loudspeaker.

SPEAKER_02 7:04

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:05

And they're like, um, hello everyone. Um, no worries, but we are having a little bit of a medical emergency, and we just wanted to know if there are any medical professionals on board, any doctors, any nurses, any and they list like 15 things. Yeah, 15 things. Air Force. We're like, we get we know what a medical. If you're a medical professional, you know what that's what you are. Like we don't need you to list all these things, and it's like crickets for a minute or so. And then up walks some lady, probably like I don't know, three, four minutes later. Like it took her a minute. She was like, ah, really? No, I don't know if she said that, but it took her a minute. Okay. And then she gets up there and they're in the um bathroom that's like by the pilots, and the door is open. Okay. And so I think that person must be like sitting on the toilet or on the ground. I don't know if they passed out or what. So they're like you can tell that they're talking to this person. And then probably like 10 minutes later, someone else decides to saunter up. And then the first person leaves, and that person then is there and they're like crouched down, talking, and the uh flight attendants are like one of them like gets in her personal bag and she gets like some electrolytes out and gives it to the person. I think they just like must have passed out or something.

SPEAKER_02 8:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:30

Or were throwing up profusely. I don't know. It was a guy, and that person that lady is like crouched down for probably another 10 minutes chatting to this person, and then like everyone just like sits back down and it's like, one, why did you wait so long to go help? Because it I don't think those people were together.

SPEAKER_03 8:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

So I don't know if she was just like this is taking too long.

SPEAKER_03 8:54

I guess I'll step in.

SPEAKER_01 8:55

Yeah, I don't know. It was so weird. It was two women. Okay, yeah, it was a strange situation, but all seemed to be okay.

SPEAKER_03 9:04

Okay, good.

SPEAKER_01 9:05

That was I wanted to so badly to just pretend I could be like I'm Zopen.

SPEAKER_03 9:12

I'm a fitness instructor and dancer.

SPEAKER_01 9:14

Yeah, I know CPR.

SPEAKER_03 9:15

Yeah, you are certified.

SPEAKER_01 9:17

I am certified. Do I forget most of the training? Yes.

SPEAKER_03 9:22

But I guarantee you, if they were going down the list and ended with or anyone who's CPR certified, you'd be like, okay, oh hand up. Josh, I'll be right back.

SPEAKER_01 9:31

I would hope that the uh flight attendants are CPR. Yeah, that's they probably have to like re-up more than I do. More than you, yeah. But I mean, I can do it.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

It's just like, do I remember every little thing that they when I had to do the tests they made me do? No.

SPEAKER_02 9:48

No, for sure.

SPEAKER_01 9:49

Because it was honestly a lot. Yeah. It was a lot of like lines being like, excuse me, hello, saying this, and then directing you, hey, you go get the AED. You, I need you to call a 911. I'm gonna start doing compressions, and you have to do them at the certain rate and the songs and everything. Like, I can do the compression part, and I could probably put on not probably, I could put on the AED correctly, I suppose. But honestly, in the machines, it really gives you directions. It does, yeah. It does I could I could do that.

SPEAKER_03 10:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:23

How did we get here again?

SPEAKER_03 10:24

You were talking about the plane story.

SPEAKER_01 10:26

How was your Thanksgiving?

SPEAKER_03 10:27

My Thanksgiving was it was good. We uh Dylan and I went viral over Thanksgiving weekend for our little sketch of HR. We went super viral.

SPEAKER_00 10:37

That was good.

SPEAKER_03 10:38

Um lots of people reaching out, a lot of celebrities reposting.

Viral HR Sketch And The Internet’s Reactions

SPEAKER_01 10:42

Love that. I just like see it because it's just like I see it, but I'm not I wasn't not like going and checking the numbers.

SPEAKER_03 10:49

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:50

So I am unaware.

SPEAKER_03 10:51

Yeah, we're at of the virality. Instagram, I think it's at 5.5 million.

SPEAKER_01 10:56

Love TikTok, it's at you guys monetized?

SPEAKER_03 10:59

So we just on TikTok we just are now able to. Okay. It's not even it wasn't a minute long, so it wouldn't have mattered. But on TikTok, I know that's so dumb.

SPEAKER_01 11:06

They need to change that.

SPEAKER_03 11:08

Instagram, we aren't posting through the gay and trying Instagram account for these things just because it's kind of like you need to post on Facebook.

SPEAKER_01 11:15

The money's in Facebook right in this very moment.

SPEAKER_03 11:18

It'll change. Right, it always does. But right now, Facebook. We that kind of get that was great insight for us because we went viral in October with that like suffocation thing. We got maybe 6,000 likes on that video that has six million views. This one has almost half the amount of likes to view ratio, which is new, and also comments, and I got like 2,000 followers out of it personally. But what it's showing us is like based on the comments, first of all, I'm okay. I'm gonna say this.

SPEAKER_01 11:52

People thought it was real.

SPEAKER_03 11:55

You really you really get a you really get a good look at the psyche of most people when you look in the comments section. It's like whoa. That's all I'm gonna say about that. But I guess I need to go look because I it's so obviously satire to me, and I would say 20% of people, but 80% of people out there really think that it's homophobia, they want to know where we work, they want to drag the company.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

Like, okay. It's just like that's funny.

SPEAKER_03 12:24

But what it's done is it's like, okay, this is the we found our audience. Like the people that are following me are like gays and girls, and the ones commenting are like gays and girls. Um, there are a good handful of like, I'm on her side, they need to go. You know, we have we definitely have some of those. But um it's now triggered or created this conversation of kind of the next batch of content we're gonna do. I'm not I'm gonna tell you afterward the next thing we're filming because it's gonna be like it's probably gonna rock about.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

Oh no, I'm scared.

SPEAKER_03 12:52

Potentially in a very negative way, but we're like being given permissions, we're just gonna do it.

SPEAKER_00 12:57

Yeah. Um I liked it.

SPEAKER_03 12:59

Thank you. So that was exciting, but I went to boob.

SPEAKER_01 13:03

I can never fucking say this.

SPEAKER_03 13:05

Boob.

SPEAKER_01 13:06

Oh my gosh, Buka de Beppo. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03 13:09

Buka de Bepo. My god. Um, speaking of homophobia, our waiter was so homophobic. It was insane.

SPEAKER_01 13:16

I'm not laughing, but what a transition.

SPEAKER_03 13:19

So we go to Buka for lovely Thanksgiving, me boyfriend.

SPEAKER_01 13:22

Yeah, just say Buka.

SPEAKER_03 13:23

Yeah, Buka. It's like my brain anticipating the next word for some reason throws me off. We uh I will say I've never been before. The food was excellent. It was good. We had leftovers for years. And so we're in a section that's just booths, but there's only three of them filled, and it's us in the middle and then two other parties. Okay. We had the same waiter who was, I would say, like a 45-year-old white man.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

White man.

SPEAKER_03 13:48

And he was we were there before the other two tables. They got he brought us our menus, and we didn't get and I like maybe I can't remember. We can't remember if Chad and I like showed affection towards each other, but we must have been giving gay because the table, the booth next to us was like three uh elderly people, and another one was a full family. We ordered drinks, our food came before the drinks. He brought bread to the other tables, not us. He didn't ask when all the food was delivered, he which was kind of all of us at the same time-ish. He got went to their we got ours first, but it was all relatively soon. He went to their tables. How's everything look? Are you missing anything? Never stopped at our table.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

It was Did you post a complaint?

SPEAKER_03 14:32

Well, so I was like, Chad was like getting very it was like tensions were high. Yeah, he he comes around the corner, we're asking for to-go boxes, and then Chad is like, and can you just take those drinks off of the bill? Like, we don't need them anymore. And he was like, Oh, leaves, doesn't like without us finish leaves, comes back around the corner holding them. Ice completely melted.

SPEAKER_00 14:54

We're done.

SPEAKER_03 14:55

He goes, I mean, I have them here. No, we had been there for 45 minutes. So anyway, but no, that experience outside the food was great. We went back to his mom's house, we played games, we stayed the night there, and then I got to meet his childhood bestie the next day and and his and his fiance, and then they asked him to be in their wedding at this lunch. So it was very cute. Um you know, Santa Clarita, love it up there.

SPEAKER_00 15:21

You going back?

unknown 15:23

I'm going back.

SPEAKER_03 15:25

Um yeah. Other than the flights, though, how was your Thanksgiving?

SPEAKER_00 15:29

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03 15:30

You also there was also a proposal adjacent with yours.

SPEAKER_01 15:33

I know. Did you uh see the post or did you see the wait, both were posts? Did you see it on laps?

SPEAKER_03 15:40

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 15:41

Okay, I didn't. Okay, so to preface this before I get into Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving. My best friend Reagan got engaged on like Sunday.

SPEAKER_03 15:52

Okay.

Thanksgiving At Buca And A Homophobic Waiter

SPEAKER_01 15:53

And I didn't, I wasn't leaving until Monday night, red eye, and then I was like getting there Tuesday, which was her birthday. So she knew I was coming to her house that night to see her for her birthday. Got it. So she I get a text from Haley and she's like, Is Reagan engaged? And I was like, I don't think so. Because I don't look at laps like that. Like I don't like really look at a social network. No, like I just take pictures and if someone tags me, I see it. And if like I'm at an event or something, or like we have hung out and I you I knew you were taking pictures, like I'll specifically go look at your pictures, but I don't really scroll through my friends' stuff. Maybe because like I have FOMO and I get sad if I'm not there. Oh yeah. But so I like I was like, I don't think so. I feel like I would know that. And she was like, I don't know. Like she just posted a picture like holding her hand like with a ring on. And I was like, Well, that seems pretty That's that could be engagement. So I go to look at it, definitely engagement. And then I'm like, Well, what do I do? Like, do I text her?

SPEAKER_03 17:00

But you're about to see her.

SPEAKER_01 17:01

Yeah, I was like, Do I text her? Do I not? I feel like if she didn't because this was like Monday, like during the day. So like the night before is when the proposal happened. I'm like, she would have FaceTimed me right away if she wanted me to know. So I feel like she doesn't want me to know, but like I I'm a bad actress. Like now I have to pretend.

SPEAKER_02 17:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:27

But like also, I don't know. Like, does she not want me? I don't know. It was like I was so confused on how to act in this moment. Fair. So I didn't say anything because I was like, I know I am going to her house for her birthday. I assume she's gonna like surprise me there or tell me there, whatever.

SPEAKER_02 17:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

So I that night I like go and I get a bottle of champagne, and I'm like on the way, I'm like, Josh, do I take in the champagne or do I leave it in the car? Because if I take it in, then it's kind of like she knows I know. I don't know. So I decide to leave it in the car. This is all like so dramatic for nothing.

SPEAKER_03 18:04

But no, I love this.

SPEAKER_01 18:05

So I walk in, uh-eyes up. I'm not looking at that hand at all. I say hi to everyone, and I'm just like, hey, you know, I'm just trying to pretend that I have no idea. And then I sit down.

SPEAKER_03 18:19

Hold on, hold on. Knowing full well that even if the charade is kept, that you being the person you are would still confess to her that you knew.

SPEAKER_01 18:28

I did.

SPEAKER_03 18:29

Right. That's what I'm saying. It's like in the end, it doesn't matter because you're gonna know like I gotta be honest, I can't keep it in anymore. I knew, I knew. Like, you're going to do that.

SPEAKER_01 18:37

I just like didn't know. I didn't know if she wanted the moment of like not her.

SPEAKER_03 18:41

Like, yeah, you're like, does she want to see my expression? This is brand new information.

SPEAKER_01 18:49

Didn't know what to do. But I sat down and then I just go, I put my hand on her and I said, I know.

SPEAKER_03 18:58

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, so good.

SPEAKER_01 19:02

And I I had like I had no emotion before, like when Haley told me or whatever. So I get up and I hug them and I'm like, Congratulations, whatever. And then I start doing what I just did, and I'm word vomiting and I'm talking so fast, and I'm saying, like, I didn't want you, I didn't know if I was supposed to know. I didn't, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, and Jordan is there and he's like, take breathe.

unknown 19:25

SPEAKER_01 30:29

Wrap water, paper towel, and then put it in the freezer for like 15 minutes, and the paper towel wet makes it frigid. Like get colder faster. If you didn't know that. I feel like I did that. And Josh was like, What?

SPEAKER_03 30:42

SPEAKER_01 30:43

Maybe it wasn't him, but someone questioned me.

SPEAKER_03 30:46

Well, forget them.

SPEAKER_01 30:47

So my mom shipped me my childhood ornaments. Finally, I've been asking for three years.

SPEAKER_03 30:53

And she finally did. And I um wanted to go get like rewind. I keep saying rewind is the word of the day.

SPEAKER_03 31:01

Yeah, you've said it.

SPEAKER_01 31:02

When I was when I was growing up, my parents would get me an ornament every year. Okay, yeah. That was like representative of the year. So like a year that I was like super into softball, it would be a softball themed ornament. Or like if I did a certain show, my mom would find an ornament from that show to be the ornament for that year or whatever. So it was always like something themed for the year.

SPEAKER_03 31:26

Cute. I like that.

SPEAKER_01 31:27

And so she sent me all my ornament and it was like every year. So I have, I think just recently, a few years ago, she might have stopped buying them for me. So I have like a good amount that will probably fill most of the tree, and then maybe I'll have to fill in a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 35:09
