SPEAKER_02 2:03

If I do, I have forgotten, and don't tell me right now. Alright, cool.

SPEAKER_00 2:06

Um now I understand. So they're gonna make the right the other thing.

SPEAKER_02 2:09

Yeah, like we're going back in time.

SPEAKER_00 2:11

Does that mean we're gonna get better drinks?

SPEAKER_02 2:13

Maybe. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 2:14

Remember my awful, like, what was it?

SPEAKER_02 2:16

It was like Oh, at o at Ogas. Yeah, it was like coffee, but it was really bitter, like citrusy. It wasn't good.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

And wasn't yours like an edible drink?

SPEAKER_00 2:28

That's it, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:29

It was it was fun.

SPEAKER_00 2:31

Fun, but they weren't good. None of them were good.

SPEAKER_02 2:33

They're not good. They're not good.

SPEAKER_00 2:34

We got the chips in Guac. It was two chips and a tiny little dollop.

SPEAKER_02 2:38

They're not gonna be good. Regardless, they might do a new menu, but it's not gonna be good because they're always gonna make things higher sugar, higher whatever content, less alcohol content because they don't want people to get crazy.

SPEAKER_00 2:52

That's a good point.

SPEAKER_02 2:53

So they're never gonna be good.

SPEAKER_00 2:55

You're right.

SPEAKER_02 2:57

Gotta pull up my dog.

SPEAKER_00 2:58

Well, I'm excited for it, and I'm excited to have two new recruits.

SPEAKER_02 3:02

Guess what? You know that jacket I wanted from the 70th?

SPEAKER_00 3:06

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 3:06

I was like, uh, maybe I'll go buy it and I'll for my birthday or something.

SPEAKER_00 3:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 3:10

Completely sold out, and then everyone that's selling it.

SPEAKER_00 3:14

When are you selling it?

SPEAKER_02 3:14

It's so expensive.

SPEAKER_00 3:16

Was it from Box Lunch?

SPEAKER_02 3:17

No, it was from the Disney store.

SPEAKER_00 3:20

Oh, it was the Disney store.

SPEAKER_02 3:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

Maybe it'll be replenished and we'll find it again.

SPEAKER_02 3:26

SPEAKER_00 3:28

Maybe.

SPEAKER_02 3:29

We'll see.

SPEAKER_00 3:31

Well, anyway, I will explain more to you when I give it to you because it's it's not vintage, I'll tell you right now. It was just right now, it ain't vintage.

SPEAKER_02 3:40

So remember how I wanted to do things on or I was selling on Depop.

SPEAKER_01 3:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:45

I decided I don't care anymore and I'm just gonna donate everything. I did someone bought something last night randomly. This has been up for months. I've sold two things.

SPEAKER_03 3:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 3:54

And I can't I don't have the space to hold. Right. And then if I had a spare room that I could put everything in and just like never think about it. And then if someone buys something cool, it takes up so much space in my closet that I'm going crazy. And I just thought it'll be flying off the shelves.

SPEAKER_00 4:16

Is it are we talking about clothes, accessories? Like what do you what are you selling? Clothes, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:21

Just I there's some like vintage, if you will, fitness martial things that I used to wear in original videos.

SPEAKER_03 4:29

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:30

There's just like a bunch of like crew necks that I or sweatshirts that I don't wear anymore. And I just thought, wow, these will be flying off the shelves.

SPEAKER_00 4:37

And fast, fast, fast. No.

SPEAKER_02 4:39

So the only thing I've sold is a Billie Eilish sweatshirt. That's like the one thing people cared about, but they didn't want to pay more than a few dollars for it.

SPEAKER_00 4:49

Because you can bet, not bet, bet, no, you can bid or just buy it right out, right?

SPEAKER_02 4:56

Correct. Like you can propose a different uh price, or you can buy what you can buy it from what I have listed.

SPEAKER_00 5:02

So you did inspire me, and I did buy something.

SPEAKER_02 5:05

On Depop? Yeah, and like the Now you can't stop, can you?

SPEAKER_00 5:08

Well, I think I can because I don't need to frivolously buy, but I was just like, I wonder what kind of Cedar Point stuff they'll have. Did you see the one I I did see the one that you sent me, yes. But I was like, I'm not trying to spend that. I just wanted to see. I found a hat from the seven eighties Cedar Point. Cute. Never worn. Eight dollars. That was the buy it now price.

SPEAKER_02 5:32

Yeah, that's a good one. What I don't love, I wish that they had the shipping into the state. The shipping was$11. Yeah, that's the ship.

SPEAKER_00 6:01

And if you want her to autograph something, make sure you put that in the notes.

SPEAKER_02 6:05

Sure. Honestly, literally, because I do have some like little headshot cards. If you buy something for me and you tell me in the notes I want a signed thing, I will send it. I'll add that in the thing. And that's a that's a good deal. A week it's going away. Goodbye. And I can't care anymore because it's taking up. And I will donate it and someone will be so happy in the random shirt that I wore in like the random fitness marshall video. And I love that for them.

SPEAKER_00 6:33

I love that for them too. And for you. I spent I've spent about four hours every day since Monday. No, so I started this last Thursday. I was like, that's it. There's no room for my crossing. Um I was like, well, what was meant to be like just pull out my sweatshirts and go through them, turned into Thursday, a little bit on Thursday. I would say like three hours, and then four hours on Monday, four hours on Tuesday, six hours today.

SPEAKER_01 7:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:18

There's things reorganized so now you can walk into that closet. Okay. Pulled everything out of my closet upstairs. Clothes. All the clothes. Pulled everything out of that cabinet at the top of my stairs.

SPEAKER_03 7:31

SPEAKER_00 7:35

And I'm excited to show you. I have pile folded nicely piles upstairs of everything I'm getting rid of, and it's a ton.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

I love that.

SPEAKER_00 7:42

So you can go through the crew necks, you can go through the hoodies.

SPEAKER_02 7:44

I might need to do that.

SPEAKER_00 7:45

You can go through the hoodies.

SPEAKER_02 7:46

Um I will say another thing. Sorry, you can continue, but I have I was getting rid of those. I put on Depop those Queen Herbie sat shirts. I thought people would eat those up.

SPEAKER_00 7:56

Yeah, well, you're talking about the crew neck ones, and those are expensive. I know to produce. I know. Which color do you have? The gray one?

SPEAKER_02 8:03

I have gray and pink. And I was like, wow, someone's gonna be so excited to see these on here.

SPEAKER_00 8:08

Yeah. I'm really sorry about that.

SPEAKER_02 8:11

It's okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

But there are a bunch upstairs. I have one empty drawer. That's how much I got rid of. I have a full drawer available.

SPEAKER_01 8:17

What are you gonna put in there?

SPEAKER_00 8:18

Well, I just let Chad have another drawer.

SPEAKER_02 8:19

Oh, cute.

SPEAKER_00 8:20

Yeah, because he had one and he's breasting at the seams.

SPEAKER_02 8:22

We don't really need to do that because we live so you live so freaking close. So there's no need when I first started like going over there, I was like, maybe I'll leave like a shirt here. And I think like to sleep in or something, and it might still be there because I never used it, because I either remembered to like bring something, bring a bag, or I was just like, I'll go home. So yeah, yeah. I don't there's no drawers to be had.

Depop Frustrations And Final Shutdown

SPEAKER_00 8:52

Well, damn. I also just to finish this, I was so productive. I was like, fine, I'm doing spring cleaning now, I guess. But also, like I know I'm gonna have to move in a couple months. So just trying to downsize, cleaned my whole garage, which I needed to do. Motivation for that is because we're gonna shoot in there. Yeah. But I didn't realize like how much pictures not guns means. We're gonna be shooting pictures, not guns. So my house is like in the best shape it's ever been in, even like after I moved in. You remember everything sat in the middle of this room for like two months.

SPEAKER_01 9:21

Well, yeah, there was things to be done.

SPEAKER_00 9:24

Did we podcast around that?

SPEAKER_01 9:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:27

We did?

SPEAKER_02 9:29

I believe so.

SPEAKER_00 9:30

I need to go back and look at those videos because I'm sure it looked atrocious.

SPEAKER_02 9:33

We definitely didn't. It wasn't in the show.

SPEAKER_00 9:35

I had no couch for like three months. Were we in chairs? I have no memory.

SPEAKER_02 9:39

I actually have no memory either. I never have a memory though.

SPEAKER_00 9:42

Well, yeah, that's true. I block everything out. In fact, let's let us review the text today.

SPEAKER_02 9:48

I was gonna say while you're looking for whatever um oh my fertile window. Fertile fertile window will start in three days, so says my watch. Just in case you wondered. Is that accurate?

SPEAKER_00 10:02

Is that what you were gonna tell me?

SPEAKER_02 10:03

No, and now I have forgotten. Oh, wait. No, wait, no.

SPEAKER_01 10:09

What was I gonna say?

unknown 10:11

Frick.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

Okay, tell me what, and I'll it's okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:15

I wanna I like wanna make sense of this. So I send you a voice note this morning.

SPEAKER_01 10:21

Oh, this is what I was gonna say. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:23

Because I'm so confused. I didn't, I was like, I'll talk to her about it on the podcast. I send you a voice note. Yeah, you say, Yeah, yeah, I can be there at 7 30. And what time are you proposing for tomorrow? After 12 before five, and I'm down to drive by the I have to teach at Emily's school. I I think so I can do after that. Then you hearted that. You hearted your own message.

SPEAKER_02 10:42

Oh, I think I meant to heart yours.

SPEAKER_00 10:43

And then I said, I love that you love your text heart.

unknown 10:47

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 10:47

And then you went, ha ha, I hate voice notes because I can't think that fast. And I was like, I have no idea what she's talking about.

SPEAKER_02 10:53

So this is what I was gonna say. This is what I was gonna comment on. Okay. I first of all, I think I meant to heart yours, so I think I just hit the wrong one.

SPEAKER_00 11:01

Which I assumed, but then I thought you'd be like, oh, oops, but it but you didn't, so I was like, oh, but maybe that was on purpose.

SPEAKER_02 11:07

Your response was because you always send me voice notes and I always text you back because I don't really like voice notes. And so I thought you were saying, ha ha, I love that you love your text. I love that you love to text.

SPEAKER_00 11:20

Oh, fair, fair. Okay, I didn't even think about that.

SPEAKER_02 11:22

And I was saying because whenever I do a voice note, I try to talk. Like I cannot think. And then it just like ends up being way longer than it needs to be, and I'm just like, um, um, um, um you I prefer a voice note. I just don't like it. But sometimes I will do that, but that's why I usually text back when you voice.

SPEAKER_00 11:40

Okay, that makes sense what you're saying now.

SPEAKER_02 11:41

Cause but I was like Yeah, I didn't realize I liked my own text.

SPEAKER_00 11:45

Yeah, she liked her own text.

SPEAKER_02 11:47

But you know what?

SPEAKER_00 11:49

Work.

SPEAKER_02 11:50

I stand by stand by what I said.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

Um are we doing that thing after this?

SPEAKER_02 11:56

Yes. Okay, okay. Also, I need to say, yeah, because I I feel like you're definitely gonna do this. But luckily I didn't know you in 2016. So I cannot with all the 2016 pictures. You have it ready to go, don't you?

SPEAKER_01 12:12

That's fucking crazy. You have an album ready to go.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

No, I haven't done it yet. What? Because I can't decide if I want to make it a post or just a series and stories, and I think I've landed on stories. Let it live for 24 hours and be done with it. That's what a lot of people I I am following are doing.

SPEAKER_02 12:27

Yeah, it's been 50-50, I guess. There's been a lot of people posting.

SPEAKER_00 12:31

Why are you why do you hate it? Because you didn't like you in 2026?

SPEAKER_02 12:34

I don't want to post any pictures of me from that time. And I won't be bullied into it.

SPEAKER_00 12:41

Yes, you will.

SPEAKER_02 12:42

No, I will not. And luckily you didn't know me then.

SPEAKER_00 12:45

But yeah, I know that we're friends on Facebook. I can do it for you.

SPEAKER_02 12:48

SPEAKER_00 12:55

My god.

SPEAKER_02 12:56

How many?

SPEAKER_00 12:57

I mean, there's at least five. I s I went through my 2016 photos and saved. I mean, 2016 was filled with a lot of people I don't associate with anymore. So it was a little tricky, but I still was able to get like 10 photos. I had a really fun birthday that year in Palm Springs, and Heather and Caitlin flew out for it. So like that was that's fun. Um but yeah, there's a lot of leather jackets and it wasn't a great time for me. What's actually crazy is the leather jacket in that photo is the one that I still have that's like Forever 21 peeling on the neck that made boyfriend go, hey.

SPEAKER_01 13:32

Yeah, let's get a new one.

SPEAKER_00 13:34

Which he did get me for Christmas, so kind. Um when I saw that picture today though, I was like, it's time to get rid of this Forever 21 plastic jacket. Yeah, it served me well, but it's time to go.

SPEAKER_02 13:44

SPEAKER_00 13:45

Anyway.

SPEAKER_02 13:45

But like, I don't have pictures from then of the even the fitness marshal. Like Caleb posted something and there was a video of me in it, and then like there's another picture that I can remember the day of like you saw that and get put like post it and you were like No, it was like we had a show and then and then like I left and they did something like together after, and I remember being like, Oh, I'm like, I'm sad that I wasn't there, and then like I think the next show was like my last show before. So it was just before the hiatus. Yeah, it was just funny. We're good, we're all good. Of course, of course. And then I came back and you know, everything's fine.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

No, no, no one left in the first episode.

SPEAKER_02 15:44

So the first person murdered was Ian.

SPEAKER_00 15:47

So remind me, just or correct confirm. Secret terrorist gave terrorist. Secret trader gave names to the traders that we knew.

SPEAKER_02 15:59

Yes, they gave a short list.

SPEAKER_00 16:01

Short list. We don't know whose names were on it because they teased us in the first episode. They didn't say their names.

SPEAKER_02 16:05

Yeah, but then they did in the next episode.

SPEAKER_00 16:06

Okay, so Ian was on that list.

SPEAKER_02 16:08

Ian was on that list. Rob was on that list, which he's a trader, so like he Oh, right, because the secret trader don't have it. Yeah, so they had even a smaller pool to choose from.

SPEAKER_00 16:17

How many names do you remember? Was it like three or four?

SPEAKER_02 16:19

Maybe. I think four, maybe. Not important. Okay. Ian is one of the winners on from Big Brother. I'm on the Big Brother. He won Big Brother 14.

unknown 16:27

Ian.

SPEAKER_00 16:28

Ian Terry?

SPEAKER_02 16:29

Yes. And he is like on that list of like gamers who they know won a strategy show and like are scared of. So he was like a very easy person to just in case he's a trader, just get out. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 16:45

Yeah, that's sad though.

SPEAKER_02 16:48

Or just in you know what I mean. Like none of the people were gonna be upset that like a very big gamer left. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:55

I do want to talk because I do love him about how we didn't really talk about it while it was happening, but Portia saying what she said in the car and then blatantly denying it in that kitchen, and people just like believed it.

SPEAKER_01 17:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:07

When that happened with something else last season, and to me, uh there must just be so much conversation happening because to us watching, it's like, how did everyone just let that go? I know that was a full blatant lie.

SPEAKER_02 17:17

Yeah. But it so that came up in the round table.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

It did.

SPEAKER_02 17:21

And yeah, Jam Jam confronted her and was like, You said this, and Donna Kelsey was like, and I heard two. And so everyone was like, Well, that's crazy. And they did kind of embellish it a little, like from what she said to like how they were retelling it. Yeah, so I think it did sound even more incriminating, and she get she got um banished.

SPEAKER_00 17:47

They figured her out.

SPEAKER_02 17:49

It wasn't her, which was crazy.

SPEAKER_00 17:51

Wait, hold on.

SPEAKER_02 17:52

I know she just said that, and she wasn't a traitor.

SPEAKER_00 17:57

So I thought Portia was a traitor.

SPEAKER_02 17:59

No.

SPEAKER_00 18:01

She's not a traitor, you're right.

SPEAKER_02 18:03

We thought she was the secret traitor.

SPEAKER_00 18:05

Yes, yes, yes. She wasn't.

SPEAKER_02 18:07

She wasn't. She just said that.

SPEAKER_00 18:10

What?

SPEAKER_02 18:11

I was just making sure because I can't really see it.

SPEAKER_00 18:13

Hold on.

SPEAKER_02 18:14

I know. She just randomly said, like, we killed blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_00 18:19

Wait, who's the secret traitor?

SPEAKER_02 18:21

Well, do you want me to tell you right now? Or do you mean to keep going? Oh, keep going. Sorry, yeah. Keep going.

SPEAKER_00 18:25

Yeah, keep going in order. This is great.

SPEAKER_02 18:27

So Portia, they banish her, and she gets to the thing, and everyone's like sad because Or were people like for did everyone agree?

SPEAKER_00 18:34

Was it unanimous, Porsche?

SPEAKER_02 18:36

Pretty much. I think uh there might have been a couple rogue.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

So she just lied for no reason.

SPEAKER_02 18:41

She just, it really was a slip of the tongue. Like she really didn't realize what she said. And she goes, and everyone's like, We gotta traitor. And then she goes, I'm a faithful. And everyone was like, What? Then why did you say that?

SPEAKER_03 18:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:55

That was so weird. And then everyone thought Jam Jam made it up. But like once they watch it back, they're gonna be like, Oh, she really did say that. Yeah. Um, and then the next murder, the shortlist, I forget who was on it, but oh, they had to do a murder in plain sight.

SPEAKER_00 19:14

What is that? Oh, one of those. One of those.

SPEAKER_02 19:17

And they basically had to like find a little like something behind a picture. And they had there was like little cards with the short list on it that the secret trader gave them. And then they had to choose one and throw it in the fire, like in the main room or whatever, and burn it, which is very risky.

SPEAKER_00 19:36

Very obvious.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

And um what's her name, Trader? With the ones we know. We know Rob, we know Lisa, we know the third. What is her name?

SPEAKER_00 19:48

Candace.

SPEAKER_02 19:49

Candace, okay, sorry. Um oh, Candace randomly goes, Con everyone, I want to do a conga line around the house, which is very suspicious. Because like, why would we do that? But everyone You know what?

SPEAKER_00 20:02

Remember last season when they had to get everyone to drink out of this like and then who was the girl who was the girl that ended up winning? Her voice was crazy to me.

SPEAKER_02 20:11

Yeah, I forget her name.

SPEAKER_00 20:12

But she was so obvious.

SPEAKER_02 20:14

I was like, what anyway. I know. So they she she got them, Candace got everyone to participate in a conga line, and then Rob just acted like a bro and was like, I don't want to do this, and like walked away and then ran in, got the cards, saw who they were, and then got Lisa to play chess with him, where they were, he was like, Oh, I'm gonna teach you how to play chess. You wanted to learn how to play chess, right? Like, I'll teach you. And then they sit down at the chessboard and he's like, Okay, let's look look at these like they're like players in the game. And like, this is this person. And like, would you do you think you should move this one, or do you think you should move this one? And like, I think if you were sitting there like intently, they made it like why are you doing that? And they made it like Tara Lipinski was, but I she probably wasn't, but they made it look like she was like watching them super intensely. Um, so then they decide who they're gonna kill, and he they pull it off, they throw it in the fire, whatever, and they murdered Rob Sesternino, who's the other uh survivor player that is the podcaster. And I was so like two of my favorites, and that's one of mine that I guess would get yes, so he got murdered, and then they go to the round table, and everyone is super suspicious of Donna Kelsey because apparently she's just like lurking around, being very quiet, and that's kind of her vibe, I feel I know. She just she did kept being like, um, I uh I just have such a big fan of you guys. Like, I'm starstruck, and she must have been like really suspicious, and like to us, we weren't even getting half of it because it was a unanimous vote that she was the a traitor, and then she was she was the secret traitor.

SPEAKER_00 21:55

So she got banished.

SPEAKER_02 21:56

She got banished, she lasted so they're very excited because no, I don't think anyone's gotten a traitor that quickly.

SPEAKER_00 22:03

No, no, no. Yeah, but I mean she only lasted two weeks.

SPEAKER_02 22:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:07

Well, Bob wasn't that pretty fast.

SPEAKER_02 22:11

I feel like Bob lasted maybe three weeks or four weeks. A little bit longer, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:16

Or four episodes, you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_02 22:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:18

Donna's Kelsey's already gone. She is gone. That was a strange one from the start, I'll be honest.

SPEAKER_02 22:23

They did also show like people did a deep dive, and the one there was a um competition they did where she was not participating. So really, so sh she must have just been like had physical limitations and they like just kind of edited it around in a way that they didn't really acknowledge it. Okay, okay. And but people like looked at it and they were like, She is nowhere. Like there's an overhead shot of everyone, and they're like, She's nowhere here. They just like put her in at the end and put her in at the beginning and whatever. So I don't know, maybe she maybe she was happy to go because the competitions sometimes are a lot.

SPEAKER_00 23:05

The challenges, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:06

So yeah, so the new episode episode drops tonight at nine.

SPEAKER_00 23:10

So we'll see what's next. Well, unfortunately, I was on the Wikipedia page and saw already.

SPEAKER_02 23:15

You did see, yeah, we can't do that.

SPEAKER_00 23:17

No, because now I know what's happening.

SPEAKER_02 23:19

Okay. Um we're going out of spoilers now.

SPEAKER_00 23:22

Done. Yes. Spoilers done.

SPEAKER_02 23:24

SPEAKER_00 23:27

SPEAKER_00 23:46

Okay. Well, it is an exhausting challenge.

SPEAKER_02 23:49

Like, I don't what happened this week? Let me, where's my phone? Let me see.

Traitors Spoiler Block And Banishments

SPEAKER_00 23:52

Yeah, take a look. Look at your calendar. I know that you went on a hike with Dylan. You didn't tell me you did that.

SPEAKER_02 23:57

Oh. He just randomly texted me and was like, Do you want to I want to see you? Like, do you want to go on a hike? So we did that. We did do that. That was on Sunday evening, like early evening. I watched the was that last week or this week. Um, the IU played Oregon for like in the football, and they won. They killed them. So now they are in the national championship, which is exciting.

SPEAKER_00 24:23

Oh, okay. Um I'm actually so glad you brought up IU. Remind me, keep going.

SPEAKER_02 24:29

I feel like that's it. Wait, no, that's not it. Okay. I guess I can say this because like what's the point in not or what's the point in there's no need to not say it.

SPEAKER_00 24:39

Okay, then say it.

SPEAKER_02 24:40

Okay, so something super annoying that I'm dealing with is that someone has committed fraud and forgery against me.

SPEAKER_00 24:47

In the form of in the form of?

SPEAKER_02 24:52

In the form of they stole my check from a choreography job I did, somehow got it, and uh Like in the mail? I guess. I don't know. Like I literally don't know, but I was like, Oh, I haven't gotten this check yet. And I checked in with the the teacher that I worked with, and she was like, I'll check in on it. And then she texted me not last night, but the night before, and she was like, Hey, it was cashed on December 9th. And I was like, Well, I didn't do that. So someone else did. And then they got a uh like a photocopy of it, and the person like the signature on it is so clearly not even it's not even forging my name, it's just their signature, and it has a um like a company name on it. It's like pay to the order of like what some like some moving company and then a signature, and the bank account is clearly not mine. A spider. Ew, gross. I would die.

SPEAKER_00 25:46

Come here, little guy.

SPEAKER_02 25:47

Ew. You're just gonna let him live?

SPEAKER_00 25:50

Well, he didn't do anything. Yeah, he's fine.

SPEAKER_02 25:53

So I spent um the day yesterday going to the police station, not once but twice, because I went to first to go file it, and I explained it to them, and they were like, Okay.

SPEAKER_00 26:07

I mean, you kind of found the person. If they put a pay to the order of it, it's probably easy to find them, right?

SPEAKER_02 26:11

Well, maybe, yeah, I don't know. And I explained it to them, and the guy was like, Okay, you need to do an identity theft report. And I was like, Okay, cool. I went back home, I started to do it online, and then I got to a question that was like, Do you know information about who did this? And I was like, Well, I kind of do because it's on the they whatever they wrote on the check, like that is information. Yeah, and so when I clicked that, they were like, You you can't do this, like you need to go in person.

SPEAKER_00 26:39

And so I was like, Go in person to confront the person?

SPEAKER_02 26:42

No, to to file a report. Because there's some reports that you need to do online, and there's some reports that you need to do in person, apparently. Okay, and so I went back to the police station and I was like, Okay, so this is what the thing said, and the guy was like, That is not true, like that question really means like if you like personally know that person or like you were face to face or something like that, like that would be why how you would do that. And so I was like, Okay, so you're sure that I need to do this same thing. Yeah, and he was like, Yeah, totally. Okay, I go back, fill out the report, I have to like write out a whole narrative of everything, blah, blah, blah. And I submit it, and I'm like, okay, wow, you did something so brave today.

SPEAKER_03 27:26

And you did.

SPEAKER_02 27:27

Because I had also called them and they were had me on hold for 40 minutes. That's why I went back because I was like so annoying. Whatever. I get an email 10 minutes later after I submit it, and it goes, Hey, we can't accept this. You have to come and do it in person because it this is not an identity theft case, this is a forgery case. And I was like, I asked twice what I'm supposed to do. So, really, I'm doing this because the school wants there to be a report done so that they can submit it to their bank for proof of yeah, so they can get the money back and then they can re-issue it to me. So they're not like out the money, also. It's wild.

SPEAKER_00 28:09

So you'll see this check at the end of the year.

SPEAKER_02 28:10

Literally, it's insane. So that is what I did yesterday. And I was on the phone. I was on the phone with the insurance company yesterday, forever, on hold forever a million times. I was on going to the police station, being on hold with the police station. I had the worst day of my life yesterday, and I can't believe I blocked it out.

SPEAKER_00 28:30

Yeah, you did. You fully blocked it out. So that's but like you did it, everything you did what you needed to do, at least.

SPEAKER_02 28:36

No, because I I had to work today, so I wasn't able to go back. So and tomorrow I have to teach at a different school.

SPEAKER_00 28:41

So are these all with Emily?

SPEAKER_02 28:44

The other one was not. It was a friend of Emily that she um hooked me up with.

SPEAKER_00 28:49

So I wanted to keep you updated. Please do. Yeah, please. Jumping back to You said IU, which reminded me of um a conversation that I had with Emma because she went to it's it didn't sync here. Oh, it's on here.

SPEAKER_01 29:09

Canada Emma.

SPEAKER_00 29:10

Canada Emma went to a hockey game, or no, uh she went to some sporting event where there was an Indiana team playing.

SPEAKER_01 29:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 29:18

And she texts me and she says, This is actually crazy. And I just want to know.

SPEAKER_02 29:23

Um I don't know of a single hockey team team from Indiana. Well, I do know like the Fort Wayne comments or whatever, but yeah, no, hang on, let's see.

SPEAKER_00 29:33

Sorry, cut this out. Okay, she said she texts me this. Can you explain what a Hoosier is? I'm at the Rose Bowl LOL cheering for Indiana.

SPEAKER_02 29:45

So Oh, that was yeah. That was the bowl game. Yeah. That was on like New Year's, right?

SPEAKER_00 29:50

Yes, it was on January 1st.

SPEAKER_02 29:52

Yeah, Josh and I watched that.

SPEAKER_00 29:53

I was like, ha, I love this. Well, I am a Hoosier because I'm from Indiana.

SPEAKER_01 29:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:58

Being like, is that what you mean?

SPEAKER_01 29:59

Yeah. She was like, no, no.

SPEAKER_00 30:00

The exact origin of the word is debated. Do you know, first of all, do you know any of the okay, so I don't know why we were taught this. I was taught this in school, but so I I was like, I bel I choose to believe this one.

SPEAKER_01 30:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 30:13

I choose to believe the one that says it came from early Indi Indiana settlers. They had a sort of accent and would say the phrase who's there in a sort of slur that sounded like Hoosers. They'd be like, who's there?

SPEAKER_01 30:25

Who's there? Okay, who's there?

SPEAKER_00 30:26

Who's there?

SPEAKER_01 30:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:28

Um she says, Okay, this is super helpful until Mackenzie, that's her husband, asked the person next to us, and they said it's from a you it's from Ukrainian gangs. Which you're Ukrainian, so you should know this.

SPEAKER_02 30:43

I'm not I'm Romanian.

SPEAKER_00 30:45

Oh, Romanian. Sorry, cut that out. Um, that's funny. She said, Is she fucking with us because we're uh neutral fans? We're cheering for Hoosiers, though. I said, and this is true, I've heard like three or four different ones. I've never heard of it coming from gangs. No, and then she said she's gonna ask for more info, and then I said, I'm gonna text every Hoosier I know. Oh, you did text me that the bison mascot has something to do with the Ukrainian gangs, also. What bison mascot I have no idea.

SPEAKER_02 31:15

I didn't go to IU, so is that their mascot? A bison?

SPEAKER_00 31:18

I I didn't know they had a mascot. I thought it was just that fork-looking thing.

SPEAKER_02 31:24

The letters I Hoosier the bison. I had no idea.

SPEAKER_00 31:28

I said, what the hell?

SPEAKER_02 31:29

Well, he had a 60-year hiatus, so why? I don't know. Oh, sorry.

SPEAKER_00 31:36

So it never was concluded.

SPEAKER_02 31:38

Yeah, I don't know. Did you I saw that on your search history? What's a Hoosier?

SPEAKER_00 31:45

Yeah, on there, yeah. And so the one that I thought is on there, but I hadn't heard of like two of the other ones.

SPEAKER_02 31:50

But um was was the Ukrainian thing on there?

SPEAKER_00 31:54

No. And I Googled it. So anyway, she comes, we come to work, right? And she pronounces it like this Hooser.

SPEAKER_02 32:02

Oh, because she's Canadian.

SPEAKER_00 32:03

Yeah. Yeah. She's like, ah, you're wearing your Hooser shirt.

SPEAKER_02 32:06

I was wearing, you know, my Don't they say hoser?

SPEAKER_00 32:08

I was like, who it's Hoosier.

SPEAKER_02 32:11

Yeah, the uh frontiersman or hill dweller is possibly linked to English words for high or large, eventually becoming a proud symbol of Indiana's friendly and independent spirit.

SPEAKER_00 32:23

Friendly and independent spirit? Amanda, if you're watching or listening to this, can you let us know?

SPEAKER_02 32:29

She doesn't know either, but she could she might. Um but funny, right? That is funny. And I had no idea that the bison was I certainly didn't either.

SPEAKER_00 32:41

What was Ball State's mascot?

SPEAKER_02 32:42

Charlie Cardinal.

SPEAKER_00 32:44

Right, chirp chirp.

SPEAKER_02 32:45

Charlie Cardinal, which definitely makes sense because Cardinal is the bird of Indiana, great.

SPEAKER_00 32:50

And of a bunch of other states.

SPEAKER_02 32:52

Oh, it is?

SPEAKER_00 32:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:53

I don't like that.

SPEAKER_00 32:54

My favorite thing, and I'm gonna make a video this Christmas, mark my words. There's so much gay cardinal Christmas decor, but people don't know that it's gay, and I love that.

SPEAKER_02 33:05

Oh, because they're always kissing, but they're two male ones.

Life Catch-Up And January Challenge

SPEAKER_00 33:07

Male cardinals are the red ones, that's it. So there'll be like this beautiful scenescape of like two red cardinals like touching, including my mother. She has this beautiful snow globe with two red.

SPEAKER_02 33:17

You should tell her that one and see what she does.

SPEAKER_00 33:19

No, I think it's more fun to just let it be there and just can constantly compliment her on it. Mom, this is just such a cute cardinal decoration you got here. Um I'm gonna make a video of that this year.

SPEAKER_02 33:31

I like it.

SPEAKER_00 33:32

Um, another thing that I've been doing is I kind of blame your influence. It's taken a long time, but I have been watching vlogs on YouTube.

SPEAKER_03 33:40

Oh my gosh, finally.

SPEAKER_00 33:42

This whole cleaning process, I've just had vlogs on, either upstairs or downstairs. It started because I wanted to watch a vlog about Cedar Point, my favorite place.

SPEAKER_02 33:51

Yeah. Um never heard that before.

SPEAKER_00 33:54

Never? I want to tell you about it.

SPEAKER_02 33:56

Please don't.

SPEAKER_00 33:57

Um and so I was like, let me see if there's vlogs on there. There's this one that had it's like 1.5 million views, and it was from this past summer. And I was like at Cedar Point. At Cedar Point, yeah. But it was like by this girl. I don't really want to out her, I don't have anything bad to say about her, but it was a very irritating vlog that I could not turn away from.

SPEAKER_02 34:17

Why was it irritating?

SPEAKER_00 34:19

Her energy.

SPEAKER_02 34:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 34:21

Well, everyone's not for everyone. She's very famous. So, like, but I had never heard of her before this, but she has quite a following. People were stopping her in the park. And I've never heard of her.

SPEAKER_01 34:31

I want to know her name.

SPEAKER_00 34:32

Um, Kayla and Kylie. She's 20. So for the first half of the episode, I'm like, okay. She's a 16-year-old driving a Range Rover. They she lives like two hours from Cedar Point, she goes a lot.

SPEAKER_01 34:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 34:45

I'm like, okay, okay, okay. Then they do the guess, the age guessing game at Cedar Point. And the and the person she's with, her friend Kylie, I was like, is clearly like her mentor. But Kayla is like running the show. You can just leave it in. Yeah, it's not it's nothing mean. Like in the end, oh, it has a good conclusion. They go to do that guessing game where they can be like, guess your weight, your birthday, or your age. Terrible.

SPEAKER_01 35:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:10

Imagine me guessing that.

SPEAKER_01 35:11

I would never do that.

SPEAKER_00 35:12

So they guess that Kay she guesses that Kayla is 19, and they guess that Kylie is 21.

SPEAKER_01 35:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 35:23

Kayla is 26, and Kylie is 16. Oh. And I was like, oh, now I'm invested.

SPEAKER_01 35:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:31

I don't know why finding out that like this girl is, and that was last year, sorry. So she's like 28 now.

SPEAKER_01 35:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:37

There's no way. And then I was like, I watched that episode, then I watched another one of her episodes, then I watched another one of her episodes, and I was like, oh, I'm get I get it now. She is wholesome, just a happy, wholesome girl.

SPEAKER_02 35:50

Oh, so now you're on board.

SPEAKER_00 35:51

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 35:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 35:52

I don't know if I'll tune in. Like, she hosts like sleepovers and like I can't really, I haven't been able to understand the family dynamic. Like, is she taking care of all these children that are in her house? I don't know. But like the fans, the people that were approaching her were all little girls.

SPEAKER_01 36:07

Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_00 36:08

So it's like, okay, she's like a wholesome.

SPEAKER_01 36:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 36:11

She's what Miranda sings wish she could have been. And for that I say, great. And do you know what I think did it? Her thumbnails. It is crazy how a thumbnail pulls me in. It's like, goddamn.

SPEAKER_02 36:23

Yeah, I'm not good at thumbnails.

SPEAKER_00 36:24

So I need to show you her thumbnails. It's wild.

SPEAKER_02 36:28

Look at people's thumbnails that I know are successful and have good thumbnails. I can't recreate it. I try.

SPEAKER_00 36:34

And and I think like that's gotta be part of why people click on it because the thumbnails are I know they're important. Like even we have a whole team at Buzzfeed that just makes them. Yeah, it is very important. They test them and they test them and they test them.

SPEAKER_02 36:46

Like I mean, for whatever you think about Shane Dawson is he kind of led that. He is the most he is the best person to make thumbnails.

SPEAKER_00 36:58

He could do a master class on it.

SPEAKER_02 36:59

Literally.

SPEAKER_00 37:01

Well, that just caught catapulted me into just so many vlogs.

SPEAKER_02 37:05

I was just like Did you watch the magical people? What's her name?

SPEAKER_00 37:11

No, I forgot about them. I need to go back. I do need to go back. Are they still making content? I think so. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 37:17

I um I have been on a hiatus from vlogging. I have not had the energy after doing Vlogmas.

SPEAKER_00 37:25

I just want to show you. And I need to get back into it. Like, look at her thumbnail, the second video.

SPEAKER_02 37:30

Is it AI?

SPEAKER_00 37:31

I don't think no. I think it or is it like an actual photo that she enhanced?

SPEAKER_02 37:39

Maybe, because Mr. Beast does a lot of AI um images of himself and his thumbnails.

SPEAKER_00 37:47

Like Purple Star Zero Two is her name. No, I think they're like real pictures that she enhances. But do you you see they're like they pull you in?

SPEAKER_01 37:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:59

This girl has it down. Anyway, now I'm watching vlogs and I would like you to oh it's making me want to be like.

SPEAKER_02 38:07

You want to be a vlogger?

SPEAKER_00 38:08

Well, because imagine if I was just consistent with my editing skills. Yeah. Anyway.

SPEAKER_02 38:15

Well, if you ever want to try vlogging, I or like that, because you you do like a vertical vlog. But if you ever want to do like a long form, I think you should be able to do that.

SPEAKER_00 38:24

Well, that's what I want to try with you and Angela. That's what I want to propose to you as far remember. So we'll talk, we'll talk about it.

SPEAKER_02 38:28

I yeah, I've been on a like drought because I just cannot like Well, you were deeply injured. I was deeply injured, and I did so much like Vlogmas every day just like really wears on me. And when I do when I I just needed some time off, but I do need to pick it back up.

SPEAKER_00 38:48

I think realistically, like you could do a weekly vlog.

SPEAKER_02 38:52

I was like for the last like couple months, or for the like a handful of months.

SPEAKER_00 38:57

Prior to Christmas Vlogmas.

SPEAKER_02 38:58

Yeah, I was doing that's true a week. I was just like picking up the camera randomly throughout the week and just compiling it. And just compiling it because and that did seem to work for me. It's just like now I need to get back into it because I felt so burnt out.

SPEAKER_00 39:11

Well now you have the fun new vlog camera.

SPEAKER_02 39:13

So but I also just like need to do things. Yeah. Okay, sure. Because I that is a problem of mine where I'm like, I what am I doing? Like some days I'm literally not leaving the apartment. I'm editing all day.

SPEAKER_00 39:26

Even if you had a 10-minute vlog, that you're doing enough in a week to fill a 10-minute vlog.

SPEAKER_02 39:33

Sure. I'm like going to work out, which like I don't love filming myself because I'm in a big class and I don't really want to film other people because there's someone in my class that does that and people are annoyed by it. And so I'm just like, what what exciting thing am I doing? And then it's just like I'm watching a movie with Josh and like going to like what am I doing?

SPEAKER_00 39:54

You're turning the camera on you and Josh. You're saying, okay, we're just cozy up to watch. The Hummer Maid and these are the snacks we're having.

SPEAKER_02 40:04

Yeah, which I also just like he will be in content, but he doesn't like necessarily want to be in it all the time. So then it's like okay, what am I doing? So but I do enjoy it, and I know that people watch, I know that people watch, and I enjoy it. I really enjoy vlogging. Okay, but I now it's gonna be hard for me to get back into it. So anyway, I do have something pop culture to talk about.

SPEAKER_00 40:28

Sorry, yes.

SPEAKER_02 40:29

Two things. One, I didn't watch the Golden Globes, did you? I did watch Nikki Glazer's um monologue and I had a good time with that.

SPEAKER_00 40:36

Yeah, I watched them.

SPEAKER_02 40:38

Okay. Do you have any breakout moments?

SPEAKER_00 40:40

The Heat of Rivalry Boys, I think everyone was obsessed. Yes, that was cute. Um, not really any big standout moments. Nikki Glazer's like song number in the middle was so cringe I had to walk away.

SPEAKER_02 40:52

I heard that. Um K-pop Demon Hunters 1, best animated picture. That's it.

SPEAKER_00 40:57

Think on and song.

SPEAKER_02 40:59

Good point.

SPEAKER_00 41:00

Which, like, you know, do you know that girl's story, EJ, the girl that wrote it? Yeah, so it's just like that, just was like, it's just nice because she's our age. It's like we fucking did it.

Fraudulent Check Ordeal And Police Runaround

SPEAKER_02 41:08

She didn't know. For you guys don't know, she was went through the K-pop trainee program. She almost debuted with uh, I think Espa.

SPEAKER_03 41:18

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 41:18

Um, but then she kind of was too, she had become like older than all the other girls. Like she was in her like late 20s and they were early 20s, if even 20. Yeah. And it just like they it didn't make sense, I believe. This is the story I heard. And so she ended up not getting to debut, and then she started writing music.

SPEAKER_00 41:39

Work your whole fucking 20s to do this thing, and then I know. But like she's so like her speech, her acceptance speech said it's like clearly this was how it was meant to be. This is what was supposed to happen.

SPEAKER_02 41:48

I really think that they should just become hot tricks, agree, and just be agreed and just go perform. Yes. And then like what's holding them back?

SPEAKER_00 41:59

Is it is it copyright because of the no, see, this is what so this is what worked in their favor is that Netflix doesn't have an in-house music department. And so they have to outsource for music. Whereas now they won't because they own Warner Brothers. So Warner Brothers has an in-house music department. Right, yeah. So they can do everything in-house and own everything. Yeah, they just need to be like this was like this was outsourced. So a producer team, a production team, and these songwriters created this music. There is, um sure, some sort of deal, but it would only benefit Netflix because they would get a part of that.

SPEAKER_02 42:29

They should just pay whatever they need to pay for the rights of them, and they should just be like, you are Hunter's.

SPEAKER_00 42:36

Yeah, send them on a tour. They they even look the park. So great go so good.

SPEAKER_02 42:40

But they don't even have to. I don't think that people would even care if they're dressed like the character.

SPEAKER_00 42:45

No, I know, but I mean like they're not like a random songwriter that can't like perform. They are artists that could do it.

SPEAKER_02 42:53

Yeah. Every time I've seen them perform, they're amazing.

SPEAKER_00 42:56

Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade performance, so good.

SPEAKER_02 42:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 42:59

Um, political Spanish. Like there's a bunch of awards. So Okay, sure. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 45:58

That's fun.

SPEAKER_02 45:59

I will be interested to tune in for that. Now let's talk about Lost Culturistas because my I what I want to know is I think they had the internet scrubbed of all Google searches because I had no idea about this controversy that is going on. Basically, if you guys don't know, um on the podcast, Matt, is that his name?

SPEAKER_00 46:20

Yes, Matt Rogers.

SPEAKER_02 46:21

He went was saying like you shouldn't basically he was like, you shouldn't but waste your time money um endorsing or uh donating to Jasmine Crockett because she's not gonna win, because what's his name is a man and like he's probably gonna win, so you should just like endorse him is like the gist, right? I didn't I saw this clip briefly and I didn't even see the like full thing. I just saw people commenting on it. Um, so I believe that's the gist of what he said, and they have been getting a lot of backlash and cancellation for that. And I don't I don't know, I don't have thoughts on that. Like I think that that was that's a wrong take because you can't taking out the people, like you can't just say, well, I don't I'm not gonna do that because that person's not gonna win, because then no one, then yeah, they're not gonna win because you're not like if everyone has that mindset, then they have no chance. They have no chance and no change will ever happen. So the the overall take is is wrong if if you want that person to succeed. But what I really wanted to comment on was that I heard someone say Los Culturistas has been like going through a cancellation, or they're like people they're getting a lot of backlash, and I had no idea what it was. So I went to Google and I typed in Las Culturistas and I typed in like cancellation, I said scandal, I typed in Jasmine Crockett. It is nothing comes up. And I just want to say that good for them that they have the means and money and representation to do that, but most people can't, and that's like kind of annoying on a that's a crisis PR that like did the literally so TikTok can't really be scrubbed like that because people can make videos like every second. So there are videos talking about it on TikTok, and that is how I learned the the gist of what I learned. Yeah, but I just thought that was crazy that they've had the internet scrubbed. That is wild, wild, which like Bowen is a like an a mainstream celebrity, so yeah, but those are the kind of people who get away with whatever they want because they are mainstream and no one cares.

SPEAKER_00 48:47

Like that it's weird that neither of them had made a statement. Uh, do you know?

SPEAKER_02 48:51

Yeah, they were like yeah, they were just like get it, scrub it.

SPEAKER_00 48:55

It seems odd to also like be so opinionated about her because she seems like someone that would say.

SPEAKER_02 49:02

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 49:03

Like she's not gonna be quiet.

SPEAKER_02 49:05

No.

SPEAKER_00 49:06

I love her.

SPEAKER_02 49:06

Yeah, I love her too.

SPEAKER_00 49:08

Her videos bring me so much.

Hoosier Origins And Mascot Mysteries

SPEAKER_02 49:09

Again, I don't know like everything about politics, but like I have a great time hearing what she is.

SPEAKER_00 49:13

In the doom of the scroll when I land on one of hers, where she's always making me laugh. Yes.

unknown 49:19

Like, yes.

SPEAKER_02 49:19

She's always making me laugh. Do I know all of her stances? No.

SPEAKER_00 49:22

I don't either.

SPEAKER_02 49:24

But I don't know. I just thought that was very interesting. Um but they scrubbed the internet. Yep. Is it time for A-list, A-list on the week, Little Shop, Little Shop of Huss.

SPEAKER_00 49:40

Which we sang last week.

SPEAKER_02 49:42

We did, and uh I'm uh confused why you never want to go to karaoke places.

SPEAKER_00 49:47

I take it too seriously.

SPEAKER_02 49:49

Yeah, but okay.

SPEAKER_00 49:50

Too serious.

SPEAKER_02 49:51

What what do you mean? You don't like you're good, so take it seriously, and everyone's gonna be like, wow, amazing, and we're all gonna have fun. We're in LA. I've seen so many people at karaoke bars take it seriously.

SPEAKER_00 50:02

You're right, you're right.

SPEAKER_02 50:04

Or we could just do the thing that we did last week and sing in my living room. No, get the like private room.

SPEAKER_00 50:10

I just wonder like why we don't like do that more often. Well, that was so expensive, but yeah, we should find one. Yeah. Oh, I had no idea. Um, because there was like a food and drink minimum. Oh, but no, those exist for much cheaper. We just need to find one. I would tell you that. Like a room for four or something.

SPEAKER_01 50:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 50:26

Just get in there, just get in there, have some wings and drinks and sing.

SPEAKER_01 50:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 50:31

It's your dream, actually.

SPEAKER_02 50:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 50:34

Just line up duet after duet.

SPEAKER_02 50:36

I will do karaoke if I am a little tipsy. Yeah. In an in a public place. Because I will perform. Whatever I'm doing, I will perform. I was blackout drunk, and my ex made me sing Britney Spears, which it was way too high for me. But I gave that which Britney Spears?

SPEAKER_00 50:56

Because she does not sing I.

SPEAKER_02 50:58

I think it was Toxic, maybe.

SPEAKER_00 51:01

Oh, that is high.

SPEAKER_02 51:02

That is high. Yeah, anything else? Have you baby one more time? Yeah. Could have sung that.

SPEAKER_00 51:07

I can sing most Britney songs because she has such a low.

SPEAKER_02 51:09

Yeah, but I was blackout and I heard my name called, and I just I was like, what am I singing? And I walked up there.

SPEAKER_00 51:14

And there it was, toxic.

SPEAKER_02 51:16

And but I was like, I'm I'll make up for my lack of being able to sing this with my performance. And I had people up there right in front of me dancing and high fiving. So, like, if you give me a little tipsy, like I will outperform. Okay. So, and I have go-to songs. If I was given the opportunity to pick what I wanted to Atlantis Morris set, um Amy Winehouse.

SPEAKER_00 51:42

Probably something from Spring Awakening.

SPEAKER_02 51:43

Reba McIntyre. I'm not gonna sing Spring Awakening in if it's not a Broadway cracking.

SPEAKER_00 51:50

My friend Alyssa did say there's a karaoke bar around here that does musical theater night.

SPEAKER_02 51:55

Is it the one? Oh, I don't know. We'll talk about it later. Okay. My list of the week, I think, is just traders because I'm just so happy it's back.

SPEAKER_00 52:03

And that is a great one.

SPEAKER_02 52:04

And I'm just I just have a great time when it's on my TV.

SPEAKER_00 52:10

Into the depths. Um, mine is Kohl's. Let me tell you about my Coles experience.

SPEAKER_01 52:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 52:17

Kohl's is great for a lot of for what in okay, prior to this.

SPEAKER_02 52:22

Amazon returns.

SPEAKER_00 52:23

Thank you. It's the Amazon returns of it all.

SPEAKER_02 52:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 52:25

And sometimes I peruse with that 25% off coupon that you get when you leave. Of course. Is there something here for me? Typically, nay.

SPEAKER_02 52:32

This one has a Sephora, which is exciting.

SPEAKER_00 52:34

But this one has a Sephora, the 25% off doesn't work for that. But it does work for their dog stuff. So like I'll occasionally get something for Stanley, but typically, like, it ain't for me. Um however, that has changed.

SPEAKER_01 52:46

What do they have for you?

SPEAKER_00 52:48

Here's what happened. My parents, bless their hearts, sent me some clothes for Christmas. From Kohl's. From Coles. Bless their hearts again. They sent gift receipts. So I took that, I took those back. It was not not shocking at all because Coles is very affordable and they have great deals. It was$37 in store credit. Love that. I said, Great thanks. I don't think there's anything here for me. I'm not gonna worry about this today. But I had to do an Amazon return.

SPEAKER_01 53:15

I had to do sweatpants.

SPEAKER_00 53:18

But like no name brands. It's only Coles brand things you can use that coupon on. Sorry, the the coupon. Sorry.

SPEAKER_02 53:24

What your gift receipt could definitely get you some Nike.

SPEAKER_00 53:28

But not the whole thing. And it's like I don't like Nike enough to like, you know what I mean? If it was$37, sure. So I was like, let me wait till I have an Amazon return and then see if I can find something with this coupon that isn't excluded. So I'm like, I'm not I'm not very hopeful, but let's see. I walk around. I'm like, you know what? I've always needed a planter for this tree. And they have a whole home section.

SPEAKER_03 53:53

They do.

SPEAKER_00 53:53

They had a clearance section in there. This pot was I actually think the stickers on the bottom. Whatever amount of money it was, I gave it they accepted. It was on clearance. And I was like, Do you guys take this coupon even though this is on clearance? She was like, Yeah, we do.

SPEAKER_01 54:11

Yeah, amazing. Bless you. I got in there early.

SPEAKER_00 54:16

You did. So 20% off brought this pot down to$13.99.$41.

SPEAKER_01 54:25

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 54:26

It's a you should see this pot. It's nice.$41. So after my store credit from my parents,$4 out of pocket. Nice for a really nice pot that adds to this.

SPEAKER_01 54:35

I will look at it when we're done.

SPEAKER_00 54:37

So I said, you know what, Coles? I'm sorry I've been sleeping on you. You sell great khakis and you have great planters. Yeah. And thank you for making my Amazon returns so easy. So my list of the week is Coles.

SPEAKER_02 54:46

I think shoes sometimes you can get a doing. You can find, you know, maybe some makeup, some jewelry.

SPEAKER_00 54:54

I got, you know, some burse. I definitely get my hand touch.

SPEAKER_02 54:57

You can get the Lauren Conrad line there.

SPEAKER_00 55:00

I don't know, I got to do like five. Okay. And then like the countries that I cared about. So after I picked the US, then I was like, what countries are good at gymnastics? China. So I put China down. I thought that might be a good strategy. And I put Jamaica down because they're good at running. Running, yeah. And so to see the track and field, I tried to be strategic.
