Big Bean Is Coming For Your Algorithm

We bounce from show choir nostalgia to adult life updates, then veer into the kind of pop culture language moments that make you question everything you thought you knew. We also get oddly serious about driving safety, algorithm culture, and why the internet can convince you to eat beans overnight.

Show Choir Memories And Chaos

SPEAKER_00 0:00

People are weird.

SPEAKER_01 0:01

People are over the world. Join hands. Start a love chain. A love chain. You don't know that song?

SPEAKER_00 0:11

No.

SPEAKER_01 0:12

Are you singing a song? It's really good singing along. Yeah, I think so. I feel like that's like a big show choir song.

SPEAKER_00 0:18

I s did you see the show choir video I sent you on TikTok today?

SPEAKER_01 0:22

Nope.

SPEAKER_00 0:22

It's just not changed. And I was like very comforted to know that Show choir is the exact same type of just like newer songs, but like, well, not in this case, this dude is singing Britney Spears. And the Show choir, you just look at their faces. They're like, we are famous.

SPEAKER_01 0:37

Yeah. I can't wait. I haven't looked at it, but I can't wait to.

SPEAKER_00 0:40

You want to know what's crazy though? Being in high school, not in a show choir, but going to my friends' competitions, I felt that energy. I was like, Oh my god, yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_01 0:47

It was electric.

SPEAKER_00 0:48

It is it is so funny.

SPEAKER_01 0:51

Oh my gosh, I lived for show choir competitions. And especially because I was like, you know, in love with my gay best friend.

SPEAKER_00 0:59

Anytime you guys get to sing and dancing together.

SPEAKER_01 1:01

So when we were singing and dancing together, like I got to, you know, and like you had a break during the day. Like you got there super early in the morning and you like whatever your time was to perform, yeah. It would be like, we're performing at 11 a.m. But then the awards aren't until like 5 p.m. So you perform, right, right, right, right. And then you have six hours to just like I wish I could have done that eight steps better.

SPEAKER_00 1:30

Your alphabet notes were on point.

SPEAKER_01 1:33

I'm never saying that. It was perfect. Yeah, no, I'm no, I'm just kidding. But um, you then you have like five, six hours to just like mess around and do nothing. And you know, you're happy you have your like hair extensions in and your makeup on, and you're like, I look so cute. And I love to get an Otis Spunkmeier cookie.

SPEAKER_00 1:50

Oh, of course. Did you ever go against Homestead? You probably didn't.

SPEAKER_01 1:54

I mean, yeah, we lost. They were so good.

SPEAKER_00 1:57

Yeah. So a couple of my friends were at Homestead, and I loved hearing about the Homestead Show choir.

SPEAKER_01 2:02

Oh, they were so good, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:03

DeFrew.

SPEAKER_01 2:04

DeFrew. But like, yeah, then you would just flirt all day, you know?

SPEAKER_00 2:08

With your extremely hairsprayed hair or whatever the style was. I don't know why, but like when I picture show choir, it's just the girls are all in like a halter dress.

SPEAKER_01 2:18

Exactly. Insert picture.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

Insert picture, halter dress. Is it just because they're easy to get on and off?

SPEAKER_01 2:25

Um, yeah, I guess. Like my freshman year, we had a dress reveal. So we had I've told this story, I think, before where I forgot my bra and then my halter came down, and then my boobies were out. Um how could you forget?

SPEAKER_00 2:42

Traumatizing.

SPEAKER_01 2:43

Grazie in the grass is a guess, baby. Can you dig it?

SPEAKER_00 2:47

Wow. Like the version by Raven Simonier, or like the old one?

SPEAKER_01 2:50

Simonier.

SPEAKER_00 2:52

That's the proper pronunciation, yes. I got you, Raven.

SPEAKER_01 2:55

Um, no, it's probably the old school.

SPEAKER_00 2:58

I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig it, he can dig it. Oh, let's dig it.

SPEAKER_01 3:03

Can you dig it, baby?

SPEAKER_00 3:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:06

Um, yeah, so we had our dress reveal, and we had to unclip the boy had to unclip it, and we spun out and it took the dress the top dress off, and we had a different color dress on the bottom.

SPEAKER_00 3:20

And the reveal was what, the exact same dress but like sparkly?

SPEAKER_01 3:22

Literally. No, it was just like a different color, but yeah, but literally. So that was why ours was a halter. Okay, I guess. But it is like the silhouette, I feel it is, you're right.

SPEAKER_00 3:33

So you can really see arms doing things.

SPEAKER_01 3:36

Oh, and there was like a well-known choreographer that everyone knew. I bet if I said the name, you would I forget his name right now, but if you said it, he like he did all the top schools choreography, and it was like, oh, did you know that blah blah blah?

SPEAKER_00 3:50

It's like giving Sparky Polanski or whatever that from Bring It On. It was amazing.

SPEAKER_01 3:55

Oh my gosh. Are we rolling? Yes. Okay.

Welcome Back And High School Rewinds

SPEAKER_00 4:10

Welcome back to the A-less podcast with Allison and Alex. I'm Allison and Alex. Welcome to our world.

SPEAKER_01 4:17

I'm really sorry that you didn't get to like actually experience the performance.

SPEAKER_00 4:21

It's true. Like, I do if the one high school experience, you know, I gave up getting punched in the face and bullied, but I lost out on being able to go to Show Choir.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

Do you feel like if you had gone back to public school for just like high school, would it have been different? Like if you had gone to homestead or some a school like that.

SPEAKER_00 4:40

Probably my junior year I would have. No, that's a lie. Because I wasn't in high school musical until my senior year. And that's when I like I assume I did not get along with like my friends that I had were all church people. So then to be in high school musical and for Heather Clausen to be like the first friend I made, she was the scariest person. Imagine meeting Heather as someone closeted gay and terrified to be out in the world. Heather, if you're you are listening to this because you are a listener.

SPEAKER_01 5:06

She's a strong girl.

SPEAKER_00 5:07

My God, she sat right behind me during callbacks, and I was just sweating her commentary on every single person that went up there. And also, we had terrible mean nicknames for all the kids in the show, and she was helpful in getting those names.

Palm Springs Anniversary And Getting Sick

SPEAKER_01 5:23

How have you been? How's been your how's been your week?

SPEAKER_00 5:35

And I don't feel bad saying that to you because you've been in one for two years. So um, thank you. He uh booked us a little two-night stay in Palm Springs, one of my favorite places. Yeah, took me to a nice dinner, got me a diamond ring.

SPEAKER_01 5:50

What?

SPEAKER_00 5:50

Not an engagement ring.

SPEAKER_01 5:52

What?

SPEAKER_00 5:52

A fashion diamond ring. I was aghast.

SPEAKER_01 5:56

I've never had a real diamond in my life, so I would probably have cried.

SPEAKER_00 6:00

It is a row of baguettes. On a white gold ring. A baguette. A baguette diamond? It's a light.

SPEAKER_01 6:06

Like it's long?

SPEAKER_00 6:07

Like rectangular.

SPEAKER_01 6:08

Okay. Never heard that in my life.

SPEAKER_00 6:10

Baguette?

SPEAKER_01 6:11

Oh, okay. I can picture it now. No, I know what a baguette is, but I've never heard of the charms of diamond.

SPEAKER_00 6:16

What?

SPEAKER_01 6:17

I've never heard of that.

SPEAKER_00 6:18

Okay, well, it's a it's a rectangle diamond. It's just like a little row of them on a white gold band, and it is.

SPEAKER_01 6:24

Why aren't you wearing it?

SPEAKER_00 6:25

Well, I'm scared. He got me a designer wallet, it's gone. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 6:30

Well, that you were being careless. You had your zipper open.

SPEAKER_00 6:33

Anyway, it was the most thoughtful gift. We had a really great weekend, and then I got sick on the morning that we left. And it's one of those colds that just ran right through me in three days.

SPEAKER_01 6:42

It was like your cold medicine in the bathroom.

SPEAKER_00 6:46

Yeah, it was my head, my throat, my chest, and now I'm like a little bit blowing my nose, but otherwise totally fine. It was like so unclean.

SPEAKER_01 6:52

That's good.

SPEAKER_00 6:53

Do you think were you like clubbing at all? No, I think what really it was is I had been non-stop for three and a half weeks, not a single day off, up late, up early, like, and then when we got there, we just slept.

SPEAKER_01 7:05

I feel like the desert, too, like for sure, for sure to your sinus.

SPEAKER_00 7:09

But I think letting my body like actually relax, and it was like, okay, now we're susceptible to these things we've been holding off.

SPEAKER_01 7:15

How hot was it in Palm Springs? Because this is the actual worst time to be there in my true.

SPEAKER_00 7:19

Well, not yet. August is the worst. But we got there summer. Yeah. The day we got there, it was over 100, but then the Saturday and Sunday, the high was only 97. Which for Palm Springs is not bad.

SPEAKER_01 7:30

I mean, yeah, definitely been there when it's like 120.

SPEAKER_00 7:32

And I've never stayed in this part of Palm Springs. We were right in like a boutique hotel downtown. So, like, you know Tequila I took you to right across from Tequila. Oh, okay. And so I took him there. I was like, I think you'll like it.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Yeah, I saw your story. I was jealous.

SPEAKER_00 7:43

Oh, right.

SPEAKER_01 7:44

And then um that margarita flight is so good.

SPEAKER_00 7:47

And look, he loved it.

SPEAKER_01 7:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:49

And I was wasted, it was embarrassing. But it's like when you're hot and getting drunk, it's insane. Yeah. I was like, I am really trying to be cool right now.

SPEAKER_01 8:01

Like because they're like, they're not small cups, like they are pretty normal size.

SPEAKER_00 8:06

And you know that I chug and cruise.

SPEAKER_01 8:07

So there's that's four drinks in a row.

SPEAKER_00 8:10

You know that I chug and cruise.

SPEAKER_01 8:11

Which is yeah, you can't do that.

SPEAKER_00 8:13

So that being said, I had a really tipsy day, but no, it was really nice. And then we got back and you do any shopping, you go to the crystal shop. Yes, so we thank you. We went to the vintage stores. Oh, okay, and we ended up finding a really cute uh four set, four-glass wine, four wine vintage wine glasses, waterford crystal.

SPEAKER_01 8:39

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_00 8:40

And we had just broken we had we were down to one wine glass. Uh we got those, which are cute little commemorate commemorate? Yeah. Our one year anniversary.

SPEAKER_01 8:49

Oh, commemorative.

SPEAKER_00 8:51

Commemorative souvenir.

SPEAKER_01 8:52

To commemorate, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:53

To commemorate our first

Mispronounced Words And Language Anxiety

SPEAKER_00 8:55

oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 8:55

Speaking of, I want to talk about Love Island a little bit later, but last night on the episode, this guy legit in all seriousness said epitome instead of epitome. And the internet is aghast.

SPEAKER_00 9:11

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 9:11

Because it's Josh and I were talking about it, and we're just like hold on.

SPEAKER_00 9:15

Aghast?

SPEAKER_01 9:16

That's a word.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

It's not aghast.

SPEAKER_01 9:20

I don't think so. Let me look. I think it's A-G-H-A-S-T. Aghast is an adjective that describes someone who is suddenly filled with overwhelming shock, horror, or amazement. Aghast.

SPEAKER_00 9:38

I can't make fun of this man you're about to talk about because I deadass aghast.

SPEAKER_01 9:43

No, it's agasped. Well, that's okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:47

Thanks.

SPEAKER_01 9:48

But he like deadass said epitome. And we were talking about it, we were just like, that's not like if you were to not know what this word sounds like and you are reading it, like would you would you say epitome? Like that has to be someone you know has said it to you.

SPEAKER_00 10:05

I would agree, yeah. Right, right.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

So someone else is walking around thinking it's epitome, yeah. And no one's corrected them.

SPEAKER_00 10:13

But it does look like epitome.

SPEAKER_01 10:15

It does, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:17

But no one's corrected him.

SPEAKER_01 10:19

And you were in your 20s.

SPEAKER_00 10:22

Oh my god, that just reminded me that on Housewives last week, one of the Monica who we don't like, and she's on the show anymore, was like screaming at one of the other women, and she was saying, touchette, girl, touchette, and they were like, touch. Touchette. I've never heard anyone say it like that.

SPEAKER_01 10:41

That makes more sense to me to get it wrong though, because the A sound is more like on the French side.

SPEAKER_00 10:48

When are you when but when are you when are you seeing that word outside in America, outside of someone being like touchet?

SPEAKER_01 10:55

I guess if you've just uh seen it, had seen it written, that wasn't good English.

SPEAKER_00 11:00

But I see, but you're right. That would be the but in what like the only way I know how to use that word is because I've seen other people use that word.

SPEAKER_01 11:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:07

She used it correctly but pronounced it touched.

SPEAKER_01 11:11

I don't know. I don't know. Honestly, I've been seeing people talk about like a an epidemic of I don't know, an aptitude. Whoa, so many good words.

SPEAKER_00 11:24

Whoa, aptitude.

SPEAKER_01 11:26

Um, and I do think people need to go to school, go back to school. Like maybe we just have like a one-time, you know, a couple months, we just get a refresher on grammar basics and all that. And yeah. So anyway.

SPEAKER_00 11:41

We can hope.

SPEAKER_01 11:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:42

Anyway, uh, okay. Well, people need to go back to school for two months. Maybe.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

For two months.

SPEAKER_00 11:48

Maybe we'll have a global pandemic again.

Refresher School And Senior Driving Tests

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Oh my gosh, you know what? Back when um the carnival cruise gate, it wasn't a carnival cruise, it was just a cruise. No, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_00 12:01

With the recent one, you're talking about the something, something virus, hantavirus.

SPEAKER_01 12:04

Hantivirus. I honestly like I really thought it was coming. And I was like, what what do we do differently this time? You know?

SPEAKER_00 12:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:15

And I don't know what it would be, but like it would have to, we'd need to do things a little differently, yeah, right?

SPEAKER_00 12:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

But that would be a good thing. Like, if there was another pandemic, like probably a good time to, you know, up.

SPEAKER_00 12:28

You're get back to e-learning. Some e-learning.

SPEAKER_01 12:31

Maybe that maybe that's something the government like should make everyone do is take a little course.

SPEAKER_00 12:37

Well, while we're on that, I would like to say that I do believe I love the elderly with all my heart, and they have a special place in it, and I love them. But I do think after maybe 65, every two years, you gotta take a driving test again. Yeah. I'm worried for them. There was a man exiting and he looked white as a ghost, going five miles an hour. And I was like, I am gonna protect him by going slow behind him. Yeah, but I am not there is not there aren't as many night, there's way more mean people on the road than Alex.

SPEAKER_01 13:07

Oh my gosh. I get horribly honked at every day for actually doing nothing. Not every day, but a lot. A lot, and let's because people have no patience.

SPEAKER_00 13:18

Correct. And let this be another opportunity for me to pitch my idea yet again. There should be an Uber type service that is just for the elderly, but not those vans that come around and pick them up at 9 a.m. and drop them off at 10 p.m. or 4 p.m. I'm talking about a service where elderly who just shouldn't be driving but can still operate a phone have like designated Uber type service because it's it'll be accessible vehicles that they can call when they need them so that they will feel less like their independence is gone and less lonely because they can just go anywhere.

SPEAKER_01 13:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 13:51

Well, also, I mean, the more cars that have full self-driving are also helpful.

SPEAKER_00 14:00

Think about this a car company called Waymo. I've still never been in one.

SPEAKER_01 14:06

I haven't either because they don't come to the valley anymore, right? Hold on. Or do they now?

SPEAKER_00 14:11

I have tried twice now by the Grove area to get one when I needed one to try. Both times, my phone, we don't aren't servicing your area.

SPEAKER_01 14:18

You tried to come home?

SPEAKER_00 14:19

No, I just tried to go from Grove area to BuzzFeed. So within Hollywood. And they're so I don't know if it's because when I registered my phone, the address is here and it's like not letting me look at all. But that's twice I tried, and I still would like to try it.

SPEAKER_01 14:31

That seems silly. Why would they do that?

SPEAKER_00 14:32

Do you think people have sex in them?

SPEAKER_01 14:35

Probably, but there are a bunch of cameras. They're watching, they can hear and see everything.

SPEAKER_00 14:41

They can hear?

SPEAKER_01 14:42

Mm-hmm.

unknown 14:43

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 14:44

Yeah.

unknown 14:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 14:45

So don't talk shit either.

unknown 14:46

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 14:47

But yeah, I feel like all the more reason to learn OB. An older person would, you know, be able to use full self-driving for you know a lot of their time, and that would be safe.

SPEAKER_00 15:00

You're right.

SPEAKER_01 15:02

But yes, I do agree that there could be a like a little refresher test. Like let's make sure like your eye, like the distance you can see, some reflexes.

SPEAKER_00 15:12

Speed.

SPEAKER_01 15:14

Speed.

SPEAKER_00 15:14

Like minimums.

SPEAKER_01 15:16

Well, I think yeah, I think it would be like cognitive, hand-eye coordination, like reflexes, and eye.

SPEAKER_00 15:23

Response. We gotta have a response to that.

SPEAKER_01 15:25

Well, that's what under reflexes. Oh, gotcha. Okay, got you, gotcha. Yeah, like how are you, like how are you gauging like when you need to stop kind of thing?

SPEAKER_00 15:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:34

But we'll see. Speaking of, I had something that went along with that.

Fourth Of July Lyrics And Ramparts

SPEAKER_00 15:39

Well, can I just say happy Fourth of July week?

SPEAKER_01 15:42

Happy Fourth of July week.

SPEAKER_00 15:43

Should we sing the national anthem?

SPEAKER_01 15:45

We shouldn't.

SPEAKER_00 15:46

Let's do it.

SPEAKER_01 15:46

No.

SPEAKER_00 15:47

I want to know if you know the words. Oh, say can you see and the home of the brain.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

That's insane. Okay, some I needed Stanley to have a something that does bother me.

SPEAKER_00 16:10

Yeah, tell me.

SPEAKER_01 16:11

Is mispronunciation of the words, which would be um, the first one would be perilous through the perilous fight.

SPEAKER_00 16:20

Because people say paralyzed.

SPEAKER_01 16:22

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 16:24

Or perilous.

SPEAKER_01 16:25

Yeah, it's perilous. Perilous.

SPEAKER_00 16:27

Now, by the way, is it ramparts or yes, it is. Or not, it's not watched.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

The we watched.

SPEAKER_00 16:36

Is it washed or washed?

SPEAKER_01 16:38

It's not washed. It's washed.

SPEAKER_00 16:39

Well, what's a rampart? It's like a you history nerd.

SPEAKER_01 16:44

I actually don't know. I'm gonna look it up, but I'm gonna make a guess. Yeah, make a guess. I think a rampart is a celebration.

SPEAKER_00 16:54

Or the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming. Why is it gonna be so complicated?

SPEAKER_01 17:01

I think it's like a celebration. I don't know. Maybe it's like a thing. Like a parapet.

SPEAKER_00 17:05

For America 250, we should have a new we should have a new anthem made.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

Um this is funny. Nope. It's not a celebration. Hold on. It's a thing. I guess. I don't know. Uh a rampart is a broad embankment or defensive wall built to protect a castle, city, or fort.

SPEAKER_00 17:26

So it is ramparts we washed.

SPEAKER_01 17:30

Now, why would they be washing them?

SPEAKER_00 17:32

Like washed them out.

SPEAKER_01 17:35

Hold on.

SPEAKER_00 17:35

I think we would fail an American test.

SPEAKER_01 17:39

This is so stupid.

SPEAKER_00 17:41

We're so gallantly streaming. So it's streams of water being washed through the Let me just tell you. The ramparts.

SPEAKER_01 17:50

The ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.

SPEAKER_00 17:54

Watched?

SPEAKER_01 17:55

Watched.

SPEAKER_00 17:58

The ramparts that we were watching were so gallantly streaming. What does that mean? No, it's okay. Let's move on. Happy Fourth of July.

SPEAKER_01 18:06

But wait, I have to gave proof is the other one. It's not Gabe Roof. It's not.

SPEAKER_00 18:11

It's not Gabe.

SPEAKER_01 18:12

Gabe, it's not. It's Gabe through. Gabe through.

SPEAKER_00 18:15

I've heard Gabe through through the night.

SPEAKER_01 18:17

The rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air. Gave proof through the night that the flag was still there. Meaning, as they were watching the cannons, the rockets, the gunpowder, the as it was as it was lighting up in the in the sky, in the night sky. You could see the flag. Yes. Still. So through so through it. Gave that and that gave the proof.

SPEAKER_00 18:44

Through the ramparts.

SPEAKER_01 18:46

What is a parapet?

SPEAKER_00 18:50

Is that the same thing as a rampart? It's a word podcast today.

Well, we'll see. Maybe it is. I did see something on TikTok today that was like, um, these girls are 100% sure Blake Lively did not get invited because she wasn't invited to Bachelor.

SPEAKER_01 20:21

If you're inviting that many people, it's kind of that means they're like actually really not friends.

SPEAKER_00 20:24

Because to not even like throw an invite to her to come to MS.

SPEAKER_01 20:27

They're inviting like a thousand, right? Huge. Yeah. What do you think? How do you think they're gonna transform Madison Square Garden? Because people at first were like, why would they do that? And I and they were like assuming that they were just getting married, like on the Knicks court, like basketball hoops behind them.

SPEAKER_00 20:48

No way.

SPEAKER_01 20:48

Did we talk about this in the last one?

SPEAKER_00 20:50

Um, it's gonna be the Eras tour stage.

SPEAKER_01 20:54

No, I think they are fully going to like make it like white, like linen, it's like all the way from the ceiling. So, like, you can't see any seating, you can't see anything.

SPEAKER_00 21:07

This is Taylor Swift. She has written about her princess wedding since she was 14 years old.

SPEAKER_01 21:12

Like we are getting I wonder how much of the seats can be like taken away. Not a many because it's like cement probably.

SPEAKER_00 21:20

Not a many at all.

SPEAKER_01 21:21

I think the first I think the first section of like chairs that they have can be can go away. Yeah. So I wonder like how like really what they can do. I think they'll just cover up the yeah, the rest of the seats.

SPEAKER_00 21:35

I would think so. Can't wait to see. I wonder who got the exclusive.

SPEAKER_01 21:39

Yeah, and like how much are they gonna show?

SPEAKER_00 21:43

Right. It's probably gonna be filmed for Hulu or Disney Plus.

SPEAKER_01 21:46

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:47

I'd watch.

SPEAKER_01 21:48

Oh my god, yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_00 21:49

And it's Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. Like the money they could put into this thing low.

SPEAKER_01 21:54

Yeah, it's just like because they are so like public eye, like I think. It feels like they would want it to be private.

SPEAKER_00 22:04

Yeah, I did kind of think they'd get married maybe at her like Cape Cod house on the mountain, but no.

SPEAKER_01 22:08

Yeah, but that people there's drones, there's helicopters. Like it is smart of them to do it in a place where there no one can see inside. And now because they had the president go to that game and they know that the security can be airtight, it's no one's getting in. Yeah, there's no drones, there's no helicopters, no one can see inside. Like it is super private, so that is like good for them. Yeah. But are they are there gonna be pictures shown? Is there going to be a documentary?

SPEAKER_00 22:36

Are they gonna make people put their cell phones away? What is happening? Oh, for sure.

SPEAKER_01 22:39

Yeah, yeah, of course. You can't trust a thousand people to not post anything.

SPEAKER_00 22:45

Right.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

And all these people, it's like alleged that they don't even know what's happening. It's just like be in allegedly New York City at on this day at and then you'll get new information after.

SPEAKER_00 23:00

So it's like I wonder what celebs are on the list. Do you think Gaga's going?

SPEAKER_01 23:07

No. Because a thousand people is I feel like it can't be everyone because family alone on each side. Because normal people have a wedding with their family, and it's like already like 250 to 500 people, yeah. Just like that. Family and close friends, family and close friends. So on top of that, he has like his whole football team, and they all have plus ones, and that's a lot of people.

SPEAKER_00 23:40

And is she inviting her backup dancers and singers? Do you think? Probably, at least for sure the singers and band, because they've been with her from the beginning.

SPEAKER_01 23:46

So even without like celebrity friends, that's already a lot of people, just with family and close people you work with, and they're plus ones. So then on top of that, like she can't invite every celebrity ever.

SPEAKER_00 24:02

True.

SPEAKER_01 24:04

So I don't know about Gaga. Like, are they close? Do they even are they ever seen talking to each other?

SPEAKER_00 24:11

I like to think they're close.

SPEAKER_01 24:12

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 24:13

I feel like Katie Perry's gonna be there for some reason.

SPEAKER_01 24:18

Um yeah, I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 24:22

Like Jojo Siwa? No.

SPEAKER_01 24:24

Okay, no. Um Selina, obviously.

SPEAKER_00 24:30

Yes. Sabrina Selina's probably in her bridal party, I would assume.

SPEAKER_01 24:35

Sabrina I don't know what other like female Charlie XEX.

SPEAKER_00 24:41

Yeah. I don't know. She opened for her own.

SPEAKER_01 24:44

Oh, okay, then yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:46

Haime, the Haime ladies, of course.

SPEAKER_01 24:48

Oh, they're probably they're probably in her wedding party too. They're like besties, besties, right?

SPEAKER_00 24:52

They are pretty close.

SPEAKER_01 24:53

Yeah. And then, like, I don't know. I feel like she would invite like Blake Shelton.

SPEAKER_00 25:00

Yeah, it's like Carrie Underwood and Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:04

Laney Wilson, didn't she just perform with her?

SPEAKER_00 25:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:08

Yeah. So I don't know. I don't know if like Tom Hanks. Are they friends?

SPEAKER_00 25:12

Oh toy story for that.

SPEAKER_01 25:13

Oh, toy story. I don't know. Yeah, it can't be everyone, but it's gonna be a lot. Because also, not just singers, there's oh my god, you're right.

SPEAKER_00 25:24

There's more people than singers.

SPEAKER_01 25:26

There's actors, actors, there's magicians. Oh my gosh. Hopefully there's some magician there. Do you think?

SPEAKER_00 25:34

Probably.

SPEAKER_01 25:34

At least what do you think the logistics of I've never been in Madison Square Garden, but I've been in a basketball arena. So it's like, do you think it's split in half? Is it like do you think just the ceremony is in there and then they're going somewhere else for like a reception? Are they where they go? If it's all on the floor, they have the ceremony, and then what happens?

SPEAKER_00 25:58

Like but aren't isn't Madison Square Garden like there's a convention attached?

SPEAKER_01 26:02

Oh, there is.

SPEAKER_00 26:03

Well, there's I assume it's like Lakers or where the Lakers play, and there's the LA convention centers right there. You can get to it underground.

SPEAKER_01 26:11

Yeah, maybe I could see them too like that. If you have to convert your space, it's like you go have your cocktail hour somewhere else, and then while they're converting that space into the reception.

SPEAKER_00 26:23

Imagine the crew.

SPEAKER_01 26:24

Oh my god. Damn. Yeah, I also want to know how much was spent.

SPEAKER_00 26:30

18 million. Oh my god. That's my guess.

SPEAKER_01 26:34

Crazy. Well, the I guess like in a couple weeks we'll know most of the details and we can see what's going on.

SPEAKER_00 26:41

We can just talk about the facts and not just speculate.

SPEAKER_01 26:44

But everyone likes a little speculation. Oh, I know what I was gonna say

The New Driving Problem In LA

SPEAKER_01 26:50

earlier. In talking about the driving with the elderly. It's not about elderly, but it's about driving.

SPEAKER_00 26:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:55

And it's how there is an epidemic right now of people turning like right. You know, if you know when you come up to a light and there's usually like a right turn lane. Yes. And then the neck lane next to it is a go straight through the light lane. Yes. Near where I live, so many people just pull up to the straight, like go straight lane and just decide they're turning, just because they don't want to wait in the line of people that are backed up in the turn lane. And it actually makes me livid. And I was somewhere else. There was another uh intersection I was at that not by me, that someone did the exact same thing. And I am just like Los Angeles is so big, and I understand it's hard to police like traffic violations like that if it's not egregiously someone going like 200 miles an hour down Ventura Boulevard. Yeah. But we've got to have some type of regulation on driving because people do not follow any rules of the road, like at all. They not a single someone past me and like six cars just drove straight down the turn middle lane.

unknown 28:11

What?

SPEAKER_01 28:12

You know, it's like a normal road, it's like you know, the two lanes and two lanes on the other side, and then there's a turn lane that if you're gonna turn left somewhere, you pull off into the turn lane, wait for people to go and turn. Someone it they couldn't go on the right side, so they just fully started driving in the middle turn lane just to pass everyone.

SPEAKER_00 28:30

I hate that.

SPEAKER_01 28:31

There is not a people do not follow any rules. And at some point, what happens?

SPEAKER_00 28:37

Right.

SPEAKER_01 28:38

It's just gonna be no rules, and everyone's just gonna do what they want, and then like it's it's complete chaos. Yeah, I don't know. It's one of those things where you know how I get so mad at people like doing crazy things at the airport because apparently people forget how to beat humans at the airport. That's true. Now it's happening with driving, and I actually like it makes me mad every day.

SPEAKER_00 28:58

Yeah, I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_01 28:59

It's annoying, it's so annoying. Yeah. Oh anyway.

SPEAKER_00 29:04

Valid, and I'm glad you brought us back.

SPEAKER_01 29:06

Thank you.

TikTok Algorithms Religion And Beans

SPEAKER_01 29:08

I wanted to um, I had this idea where we tell each other what our algorithm of the week is. Yeah, okay. This just came to me today where I was like, I wonder if Alex has the same things happening on his algorithm as me. And then I was like, I feel like that's kind of a fun little like little drop-in segment. We don't have to do it every week, but we can if we want. And I just want to know what's on your algorithm. And maybe we have the same one, maybe we don't.

SPEAKER_00 29:33

Now, to be clear, do you mean like overall, like what's what are like the three top things I'm seeing?

SPEAKER_01 29:38

Yeah, the things you could repeatedly see people talking about.

SPEAKER_00 29:41

Got it. So it is 100% religious deconstructing your religion TikToks. It is all queer people being like, if you're deconstructing your religion, you know this song I'm about to play. And it's like, well, yep, there I am. Oh my god. 11 years old again.

SPEAKER_01 29:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:58

So it's incredibly validating, but it is my entire algorithm algo right now.

SPEAKER_01 30:04

That's it.

SPEAKER_00 30:05

Pretty much, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:06

Okay, vastly different. Mine is just beans.

SPEAKER_01 30:23

SPEAKER_00 30:23

Big bean is out.

SPEAKER_01 30:24

It's just girls being like, I have been eating beans every day, and this is what has happened to me. Or I everyone's sleeping on beans. Like, you this is a bean recipe you need to make because they're high in fiber, they have protein, they have all these things. And it's just like every third video is someone talking about beans, and it's starting to get me.

SPEAKER_00 30:45

This is the worst news.

SPEAKER_01 30:46

I feel like I need to go buy beans.

SPEAKER_00 30:48

This is the worst news I've ever been told.

SPEAKER_01 30:50

Maybe you need to figure it out.

SPEAKER_00 30:53

Hate beans.

SPEAKER_01 30:54

What do you hate? The texture?

SPEAKER_00 30:55

The texture, the fact that they are just like mush, no taste mush. They're just like okay.

SPEAKER_01 31:01

Have you ever heard of seasoning?

SPEAKER_00 31:05

Okay, I hate beans, but I do have to admit, I love baked beans.

SPEAKER_01 31:10

I feel like sugar. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 31:12

It's just brown sugar. Barbecue sauce and brown sugar. I would love that one.

SPEAKER_01 31:15

Um, you know what I want to make? I'm gonna make a bean salad this weekend.

SPEAKER_00 31:20

What a terrible idea.

SPEAKER_01 31:22

Well, I just want to see maybe you'll like it.

SPEAKER_00 31:25

Allison, as long as you know.

SPEAKER_01 31:28

It's called a dense bean salad. And it's it is all over. I have saved a recipe. You want me to tell you what's in the recipe?

SPEAKER_00 31:37

The thing is, I can see it. Oh, it's making me gag.

SPEAKER_01 31:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 31:41

I'm gonna cry.

SPEAKER_01 31:42

No, what if it changes your life?

SPEAKER_00 31:45

Some people a lot, everyone else will probably love it, so you should bake it. Cute phone case.

SPEAKER_01 31:49

Thank you so much.

SPEAKER_00 31:50

But okay, you may just be mad that I'm if I try it.

SPEAKER_01 31:54

No, but I kind of just want you to.

SPEAKER_00 31:55

Let me guess the beans. First of all, how many are there?

SPEAKER_01 31:59

There's only three types of beans. And there's a bunch of other things.

SPEAKER_00 32:02

Here's the beans I think are in there. Okay. Without a doubt, kidney.

SPEAKER_01 32:07

No.

SPEAKER_00 32:08

Oh. Chickpea?

SPEAKER_01 32:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:10

You consider that a bean, right?

SPEAKER_01 32:12

Yeah. I guess.

SPEAKER_00 32:14

And then black beans.

SPEAKER_01 32:15

No, this one doesn't have black beans.

SPEAKER_00 32:17

Okay, what kind of fucking beans are there? Those are the only two.

SPEAKER_01 32:19

One can of chickpeas, one can cannellini beans. Those kind of look like kidney beans.

SPEAKER_00 32:26

But they're white?

SPEAKER_01 32:27

Yeah. But they could just be white beans. I don't know. It's in there just like a white bean.

unknown 32:32

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 32:33

One cup edamame shelled. Then you do one cucumber, one cup cherry tomatoes, one bell pepper, one red onion, three cup, half or a third cup olives, a half cup feta, and a fourth cup of parsley.

SPEAKER_00 32:47

That is dense.

SPEAKER_01 32:48

And then you make like a little olive oil, lemon, red wine vinegar dressing.

SPEAKER_00 32:53

If you make it, I will try it. And I'll give it an honest review.

SPEAKER_01 32:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 32:56

It will be hard to confuse.

SPEAKER_01 32:57

I feel like that's a nice like summer dish to have.

SPEAKER_00 33:01

A nice, light, dense bean salad.

SPEAKER_01 33:03

But apparently it's really good for your gut. Yeah, like I don't know. It's my whole thing. And hopefully now it's gonna pop up on yours.

SPEAKER_00 33:10

Oh my god. Because I talked about it. But like what else is there on bean talk? Just like the benefits of beans.

SPEAKER_01 33:16

It's either people talking about the benefits, like how long they've been eating beans and the benefits of their body. Some of it is recipes. That's kind of it. It's either one or the other.

SPEAKER_00 33:28

Beans, great. Pop up on my algo. Let's see.

SPEAKER_01 33:32

Yeah. And then really just Love Island.

Love Island Girth Check And Bi Casting

SPEAKER_00 33:37

Okay. Here's what I know about Love Island. Girth check. That's it.

SPEAKER_01 33:42

So you just have gotten on the gay side.

SPEAKER_00 33:44

I've only on the gay side, and it's for the fact that these boys just need to do it.

SPEAKER_01 33:49

Do yeah, as a gay man yourself, yeah. Are they coming on? Are they you think they're actually bisexual or you think they're just like straight dudes that are like dudes. I think they're just straight dudes. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone kind of just wishes they were bisexual because then I guess that makes it more like interesting.

SPEAKER_00 34:06

Yeah. But yeah, there's a No, I think they're just dudes who know exactly what they're doing.

SPEAKER_01 34:10

Yeah. So there's if you guys don't watch Love Island, there's um two men on it that are very much playing into the uh I think that someone on the inside, yeah, a producer has like told them like people are really loving your guys' romance, like really, you know, kick it up.

SPEAKER_00 34:31

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:32

And so they're like always like you know, like boy flirting. They're like, if well, if it doesn't work out with what's her name, like you always have me type of thing. Totally. And then they're kind of always like next to each other. They're like, one of them is a um like a personal trainer, not a personal trainer, he does like um PT. PT. And he was physical therapy. Yes, I could not think of that.

SPEAKER_00 34:58

Yeah, I couldn't either.

SPEAKER_01 34:59

He was stretching him out, but like fully like had his leg all up, like it was a very sexual-looking pose, and it was like, okay, you know what you're doing. And then all of a sudden, one day one of them pulls their pants out and says girth check, and has the other one look, and they're talking about you know the size, how it looks, and it's like you guys, just it's just guys being guys, yeah. Is that what straight men do?

SPEAKER_00 35:30

Yeah, I imagine there's a there's a lot of gay things it's girth checks? I've never heard of a girth check, to be honest.

SPEAKER_01 35:38

Well, if I guess sound off in the comments if you're like if you've ever done a girth check.

SPEAKER_00 35:43

Is that hot to you as a woman?

SPEAKER_01 35:45

No, see that's what I mean.

SPEAKER_00 35:47

I think they know exactly what they were doing. To be like, oh my god, his he said he has nice girth. I'm so curious.

SPEAKER_01 35:52

No, get out of my face. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 35:54

That's and they know that. Do not speak to me. Girls don't give a fuck. They know what they're doing.

unknown 35:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:59

Get the gang. Well, it's so interesting.

SPEAKER_01 36:02

I don't know why Love Island truly doesn't cast more people that are bisexual, because it that actually does make it interesting. Like there have been a couple seasons where there have been uh girls who have like liked each other, they've explored it a little, but they've never fully committed to coupling up together. I think maybe actually one season might have, or maybe in the all-star season or something. But it's like if they make if they cast only bisexual people, like and everyone knows in going, yeah, like everyone is bisexual. So you you know that you're not the only one. Because if you're the only one, then it would be like really hard to, you know, yeah, flirt with someone not knowing, like, are they gonna be like get away from me or are they gonna reciprocate it? So if everyone knows going in, this is the circumstances, then no one would be afraid to talk to a girl or a guy. Right. And then it would be so it just needs to be like a whole season needs to be that would be interesting.

SPEAKER_00 37:06

It'd be like couple to thruple, but like fully.

SPEAKER_01 37:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:09

How you'd want to see could we how will this play out?

SPEAKER_01 37:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:12

I like that idea.

SPEAKER_01 37:13

I I don't think I think the stakes are pretty low, other than you know, half of America would be aghast callback. But I think most people would be like, Oh, this like feels like normal, like everyone, like every season could have just been this because they're all making out with each other anyway. The other night, like every girl was kissing each other because they had this challenge where they were trying to do that, they were trying to like outdo the other, you know, cost them more or whatever, and so they all were kissing everyone, and they were all making out with everyone, and it was like, okay, well, then that's literally just by island. It is so just do it.

SPEAKER_00 37:53

Buy island, buy island island.

SPEAKER_01 37:56

That's not as good. No, I like by island.

SPEAKER_00 37:58

By island.

SPEAKER_01 38:00

Well, all right.

SPEAKER_00 38:54

You're back on them?

SPEAKER_01 38:56

Have been craving for months a Shirley Temple. And I almost ordered one on DoorDash the other day. I was like ordering food from somewhere, and then they had Shirley Timples available.

SPEAKER_00 39:07

Is it urbane?

SPEAKER_01 39:09

I don't know. Does that have a Shirley Temple? No, but then it actually ended up being too expensive, like the whole order. And I that happens to me a lot. Like I go in and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna get this and this and whatever. And then I look at the what it's gonna cost, and I'm like, no, I can't do that. Right. So then I didn't get it. And then I decided I was like, oh, you can just go to the grocery store and you can get make a dense bean salad. Sprite, and you can get cherries and you can get grenadine. And that's what I did.

The song. It's so we've been singing a lot. I feel like we're gonna get flagged now. Say goodbye. What? To yesterday. What?

SPEAKER_00 41:03

Is it by nickelback?

SPEAKER_01 41:06

You just offended a lot of people. No, it's not by nickelback. It's time to say goodbye to yesterday. Isn't it now you've had me questioning boys to men or something? Yeah, boys to men. Wow. Thank God.

SPEAKER_00 41:19

You were giving nickelback energy. So I'll just say goodbye.

SPEAKER_01 41:23

Well, I'm not a good singer. So thanks for reminding me.
