One thing about me, I've been rotten.

SPEAKER_02

That's all I do, honey.

SPEAKER_01

That's all I do.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. But that's actually all I do because my life update is that I nanny. And um I have a lot of time on my hands. Yeah. I'll leave it at that.

SPEAKER_00

And I'm a stay-at-home mom, and my kids go to school every day.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Every day I'm rotten. Anyways. Besides rotting, what are your any other updates?

SPEAKER_02

Um, well, I moved. So I was living with um Maddie, and then Maddie got married, and that's really exciting. Then I moved in with three girls. Um, and the girls' room that I moved into moved to New Zealand for a year. That's fun. Yeah. And this and they have like somebody moving in to this girl's room, but she was like moving in two months, like they had this like two-month span, which worked out perfectly for me because I needed a place to stay for two months before I moved into my other house. Yeah. Which I will be moving into May 1st. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

I didn't know there was an update.

SPEAKER_02

That's exciting.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so it's like gonna be done being renovated, and I'll like have a house that is like it'll just be you there for at first, or is there anyone else moving in?

SPEAKER_02

Yes. My friend Megan might move in. Oh yeah, that'd be fun. Um, but they also like they go to Citadel Square downtown, um, which is a church, and they um know a bunch of like doctors and med students, and so if I couldn't find the roommates, they would just be like right, advertising it. Yeah, so how many bedrooms? It's four bedrooms. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, that'd be awesome. So, but I'm like hopefully like I could move in first. It could be like my furniture, my stuff, like dibs, yeah, for real. Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, and then um other than that, I'm going to Virginia this weekend to see my family.

SPEAKER_00

Is there like a special occasion while you're going, or are you just going?

SPEAKER_02

No, I I just hadn't seen them in a long time, and I think I had felt really weird like going back to Greenville so many times and not seeing them. It just like made me miss them. Yeah. Um, which is really sweet because that's just a sweet thing that we have. Yeah. And so I just was like, you know what? I'm gonna come visit. Y'all free this weekend? And I said yes. And then when Grady learned that I was going, he was like, Oh, I could come that weekend. And then we asked AJ, and him and his girlfriend are coming, and now it's like a whole family thing in my life. And we get to meet his girlfriend for the first time, and that's exciting. It's crazy, that's very exciting. Yeah, I'm excited. We're just gonna like hang out at this Airbnb skeet shoot, fish. Love that. Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. That's gonna be so fun. I'm really excited. Slay! Slay! Rome and family reunion. It's gonna be awesome. Love that for you. Yeah, other than that, just been enjoying be a daughter of God, you know.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just chilling for real. Enjoying your identity in Christ. Yeah, love that for you.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's kind of funny.

SPEAKER_00

Cool. Yeah, what about you? What about me? Um, I okay, so I feel like we haven't podcasted in a minute. That's correct. So that would be correct. Bobby was on nights for the whole month of February. Correct. And life is just crazy. Um, but we survived nights, so that's an update. Oh, but I haven't talked about my trip to New York yet. I know. And I like hyped it up the last time we recorded, but that was like what January, February, like very early February. It's been a minute since we recorded. So I need to tell you all about it. I feel like I've already told you a little bit about it, but the pod needs to know. The pod needs to know. They need to know. Okay, so I went to it was such a quick trip. I was literally, I flew out on I think a Sunday like morning, and then I came home Monday afternoon. So like I was literally afterwards. Tuesday, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was like basically 48 hours in New York. Time that I was actually like in New York hanging out. Yeah. Um, so it was super fun. Um, I was with my mom and sister, and we got there, and we just kind of went to Times Square for a little bit, got some tacos, that kind of thing. And then we were like, oh, let's go like down to Grand Central Station, like walked around there, and then we wanted to find a bar to like grab a drink. And then um it was so crazy because we were getting into this elevator to go to this rooftop bar, and this girl like walks up to the bar or walks up to the elevator, and I was like, I recognize her, or like I knew who she was, but I was like, it's kind of one of those things where you like see someone that's like famous in person, and then you're like, is that them? Because they look so different in person, kind of, but like I knew it was her, so we like all got on the elevator, and I like worked up the courage. And I was like, Is your name Susie? And it was Susie um from The Bachelor. So she was on Clayton season, and um, I think her last name's Evans, but um, she was on Clayton's season, which was like a few seasons ago, and she was the um person that made it to the very end, and like he proposed to her, but she said no. Oh but then at the reunion, like she came out with him and they were dating, so they did date. Oh, she didn't want to get married there. Yeah, she didn't want to get engaged, yeah. Well, you know, and his season was like kind of sketch because he like yeah, he just kind of like love bombed everyone, and it was very messy. Um but then, anyways, so yeah, so it was really fun to meet her. It was really fun, and I was like, so she was like dressed in this really cool outfit. She was like an all-maroon outfit. It was like this really cool like leather jacket with these like maroon tights, maroon heels, like all maroon, but it was New York Fashion Week. So of course I was like, um, were you here for New York Fashion Week? And she was like, Yeah, and I was like, Were you walking? And she was like, No, no, no, no, no. I was sitting in a chair watching, absolutely. And I was like, Well, you could have walked, yeah, literally, like you're stunning or whatever. And she was like, That's so nice. And then uh, we were riding up the elevator and I was like, Can we take a selfie? And she was like, Yeah, I'll just because we were about to get off the elevator, and she was like, I'll just get out with y'all, and then I'll I'll ride back down. And I was like, That's so nice. So, like, she literally like went past her floor all the way to the rooftop, got out, and then took a picture with me, and then got back on the elevator to go to her room. That's so cool. Because she was staying at that hotel, and I was like, that was so sweet of her to like go out of her way. And then um she or I think like I commented on something, or I like DM'd her or something, or I when I tagged her in the photo on my story. Um, she like DM'd me and was like, It made my night meeting you, and it was like so nice. I know I was like, Okay, wait, that's so cute. Yeah, she was on this summer season of Bachelor in Paradise, too. So she was like recently back on the show again. So it was really fun to meet her, and you know, I'm a big bachelor fan, so yeah, I was like all about it. Yep. So that was super fun. So that was night one, and then the second day was the day we went to the Broadway show. Yes. And before we did that, we went to the Met or not the Met, we went to MoMA, uh Museum of Modern Art. And it was just amazing because my mom is an artist, and so I grew up really appreciating art and famous artists, and I got to see like Picasso, Monet, Matisse, like Van Gogh. It was I got to see Starry Knight, like it was just like amazing. I was in awe, like literally, like just all these famous paintings that I had grown up admiring, got to see them in person, so that was super cool. Um, loved that so much, and then that night was the Broadway show, and it was so much fun. So we get there, and so I think I talked about this on the last podcast episode, but I know Whitney's cousin. Um, she is so Whitney was is the star of Chicago as Roxy Hart. That's who my sister and I wanted to see, and she's from Secret Lives and Mormon Wives, Whitney Levitt. But uh her cousin lives here in Charleston, and I do her family's photos. Like I've shot with them for like three years. Yeah. Um I didn't know that. Yeah, I didn't know that that was her cousin until she told me, and I was like, what? But she went and saw Whitney a few weeks before I did, and then she told me like what to do after, like, be able to like get to the meet and greet part afterwards or whatever. So we get there, and I was kind of freaking out because Dancing with the Stars had been touring there, and they were they performed the night before, but then the night of the Broadway show we were at, I was like, they had a night off, but they were performing the next day, only 45 minutes outside of New York in Pennsylvania. So I was like, there's a chance that some of the like dancing with the stars people could be here potentially.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_00

But I didn't when we got there, I was a little disappointed because like we didn't see anybody, yeah. And I was like, maybe no one's here, but um, I did meet her husband Connor. Um, so he was just like out and about just talking to people, and I was a little nervous because we had we were like already in our seats, and I was just like, Do I be extra and go meet him? And then I just decided I'm here, you know? Like, I'm here. Why would I just sit on my butt, you know? Yeah, so I got up and Lucy went with me and we went and met him, and he was so nice. He was like, I was like, we're so happy to be here. Like, we love Whitney, and he was like, I'm just so happy that everyone's here to support her. Like, she worked so hard, and it was just like so sweet. Like, I just he's like such a sweet husband, so it was fun to meet him in person, and we took a selfie with him, so that was fun. And then we like obviously watched the show, and Whitney was amazing, it was so much fun. Like, it was my first Broadway show, too. So that was like yeah, it's a dream, an experience. Like, it was fun. That was my first one, and we just had so much fun. And then afterwards, we like beelined it to the spot where my friend Kelsey, that's her cousin, told me to go, and we got right on like the the bar. Like, there's like basically there's like um these like guardrail things set up outside of the theater, and Whitney like walks down and like meets people and signs stuff or whatever. Nice, and so we like knew exactly where to go, so we like went straight there after the show was over. We tried to sort of like get out of there fast so we could make it, and we were able to get to the front, so that was really great. Um, and we waited a while. I was wearing really uncomfortable shoes, it was probably like a half hour or more, which really isn't like that bad. But um, but I was so excited because when she came out, she had Danielle Fischel with her, which is Topenga from Boyd's World. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So she was there at the show, but I just hadn't seen her. I mean, there's a lot of people there, so like you can't see everybody. But I wasn't sure if any other dancing with the stars people were there, but we got to meet her too.

SPEAKER_03

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_00

And we got to take a picture with her, and my mom was excited to meet her because she watched that show too when we watched it. So that was really cool. And then we got to meet Whitney and it was so fun. Um, and we got to take a picture with her. So that's wild. Yeah, it was crazy. Um, yeah, it was just like such a fun night. We had the best time, it was just like everything that we like went to New York to do. So we literally met like four famous people, if you count her husband, which I feel like I can't do the show. Yeah. So it's like, yeah. So it's a very successful trip to New York. We ate a lot of really good food. The last day we went to this place called Dim Din Tan Feng, and it's a Chinese restaurant. Oh, but it's like very famous and popular. Um, and it was one of the best meals I've ever had in my entire life. Wow, it was so good. So that was great. I'm still dreaming about some of that food that we ate. The tacos were probably the best I've ever had, too. It was like this hole in the wall place the first n the first day, and there's like this big swirling thing of meat in the back, and these guys are just taking tickets and yelling at each other, and then they just like hand you this plate of tacos, and they somehow know what you ordered, and it's just like the best thing you've ever tasted. Wow. So New York's a crazy place. Yeah, it really is. Truly, truly wild. But yeah, never been.

SPEAKER_02

So that oh really? Yeah, we gotta go. I've seen New York from the sky, like the skyline of New York from the Newark airport in New Jersey.

SPEAKER_00

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02

You were almost there, so close so far. And honestly, part of me is like, eh, that's enough. Yeah, that's good enough for me.

SPEAKER_00

No, it's not. There's something about New York that just like makes me feel alive. I don't know what it is, it's just it's a fun place to visit. I really it's and also it's like perfect for just like a weekend trip. Like you can do so much in just like two days. So I feel like it's like yeah nice because you can get like a lot of fun stuff in and then you can just leave. Because that's what we did. And I feel like it was like we did so much and it was so fun. Yeah. But that's my main update. Um, and then small update is that um Bella had a good appointment last week. So like post all the things that happened back in December. She's been in this like elevated brace um as her like tendon healed, but she finally, after weeks of like every few weeks, it would like lower the brace down so it wasn't on a wedge. She finally made it to neutral position, so she's able to walk barefoot now. She can take breaks with her braces. Um and now she's just weren't like working on regaining strength, but she's like fully healed, so we're very grateful. God is so good.

SPEAKER_02

I know, God is so incredible. Yeah. Every time I see her, there's like a like a new thing. I just like see the growth that has happened, and it's just so wild. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And then the only other thing is that I went to Chattanooga last weekend for Lucy, my sister's um bridal shower because she's getting married this summer, and that was super fun. And um I got to take her and her fiance Bradley's engagement pictures. Oh, that's cute. So that was super fun. I still need to finish editing them, but um, but yeah, it was so fun. Is Danny going to the wedding? She's shooting it. Oh love. So my bestie Danny is shooting the wedding. Um, and she's the best. So I'm very excited that she'll be there. And then Victoria's gonna be there too. Right, yes, yes. She we, you know, obviously she was invited because she's been family friends forever. So both my like my childhood best friend and then my best friend from Memphis are both gonna be there. So that'll be so fun. Very excited about that. It's gonna be, I'm just so excited. It's gonna be so fun. So yep, and then I'm in the midst of like planning her bachelorette party, which is here in Charleston. So that's kind of it's here. Yeah, honestly. Yeah, so yeah, that's pretty much all the updates. Okay. So I think we need to jump into it. I think we have to jump into it. I do want to give a disclaimer though, because normally we say this podcast is like super clean, like you can listen to it with your kids. I would say if you're listening to this with your kids, maybe pause and listen to this part another time because we are gonna talk about some sensitive topics. So I just want to say that up front because I just don't want you to be like listening to this with your kids and then be like, oop, it's not like we're gonna be like saying bad words or anything, it's just like the topics are like a little more adult. So I just wanted to say that first before we jump into the next. So, okay, that being said, now we can talk freely. Um so what what we need to discuss, okay. First of all, can I just talk about the season of Secret Lives first? Because I don't know if you watched that. Set the scene. Okay, I'm gonna set the scene. Yeah. So I just binge watched the whole season of Secret Lives and Mormon Wives, which I personally think is one of the best reality TV shows on TV. It's just, it's so entertaining. There's so much going on. The tea is teeing, like, it is just it's everything. Um but this season was actually crazy. Like, I saw an interview before the season started with Jesse, one of the girls from the seat from the show. She was like, they were asking her who was gonna have the hardest backlash from this season, and she was like, probably Taylor, like she hit some pretty low moments, like da-da-da. So I was like, Oh, I wonder what's gonna happen. But like, yeah, yeah, it was pretty bad. So basically, like um during the season, um, so she and her baby daddy Dakota have been broken up for I guess like almost a year at this point, like when the season was starting to air, but they just have such a toxic, like ongoing relationship. And so, like, she gets announced as the Bachelorette. Right. Um, and then basically, like a week after it comes out that she's gonna be the Bachelorette, she like sleeps with her baby daddy on the show, like it shows it. Oh, yeah, and then they get into this huge fight and she's like crying, whatever. Um, she just has like a ton of low moments, and then she finds out that one of her like kind like acquaintances, like kind of friends, like hooks up with him like after that, and then she like literally crashes out and is like screaming and all this stuff, and then he also goes on a trip to the like Vanderpump Villa during the season and has sex with somebody, and she literally crashes out about that, and she's like calling him and she's like, Did you like it? Did like did you like it's just very messy, yeah. Yeah, and then um also like obviously spoilers. So, like if you haven't watched it, like, yeah, just skip a couple ahead a little bit. Um and then literally the last episode is when she's about to leave for the bachelorette. So, like, it's the night it's the night before she leaves for the bachelorette. Her baby daddy, Dakota, brings their son over because he's going with Taylor um to fly to California and she sleeps with him that night. The night before she leaves for the bachelorette.

SPEAKER_02

So that's contradictory, but yeah, like that's I would say so. The whole point of her going on this show is so that she can find somebody else.

SPEAKER_00

Right. So it's just crazy. Um, so that's like how the season kind of went. It's just very toxic, her falling back into these patterns of like this man that she needs to get away from that's not good for her, but she like can't get away from him for some reason. And like she does have some like past trauma and stuff like that. So basically, like I've been really excited about this season of The Bachelorette because I'm like, this is gonna, this thing is gonna go up in flames, like it's gonna be such good TV. Like, yeah, no part of me thinks that she's about to find her person.

SPEAKER_02

Like, I just no, but they're dra the drama's gonna be happening and we need to be here for it.

SPEAKER_00

Exactly. I was like, it's just gonna be such good TV.

SPEAKER_02

Like I can't look away.

SPEAKER_00

So I've been like really I was like, I'm gonna be sap. Yeah. So I've been like excited about that, but then today it was announced that they canceled the season. Yeah, which is crazy. So they so basically this is crazy though, because which like you know, obviously, I kind of understand because of stuff that resurfaced today, but at the same time, they knew about this. So, like basically two years or three years ago, she had a arrest because she um like was in a fight with Dakota. This was three years ago. She threw a chair at him and it bounced off the floor and hit her daughter. And so she got like a child abuse charge and domestic violence charge for that. Um, it was three years ago, obviously not okay. Yeah, um, but like, you know, she they were just they just have such a toxic relationship. He does stuff that makes her really mad, and then she lashes out, she has a lot of trauma from her past, like whatever. Not excusing it. I watched the video today. Not excusing it, not excusing it at all. But it's like one thing when you hear about it, it's another thing to see it. Yeah. So like we had never seen the video, but then today, I guess Dakota decided to like release the video. That's wild. Um was it like a home camera? It was his iPhone. I think he just Oh, he was filming it the whole time. You're right, I think he was just on his phone and he decided to release it. Um, but there was so before this all came out today, there apparently there was another altercation where they got into a fight at the end of February. But it's more apparently, which there's not been a lot of in information, so I don't really know exactly all the details, but what it sounds like is that it was more on Dakota's in this time. Oh, like allegations against him, but then I think he was trying to throw allegations her way, and then I think he's like resurfacing this video now to get back at her to save himself, kind of thing. I don't really know, but also that could be totally false, and it could be mostly her, like it was this time. Yeah. Also, there's like no context of that video, like we only saw a small part of it. He could have been doing something beforehand that warranted her anger, like who knows? Right. Which nothing warrants you throwing a chair when your child's sitting right there. Right. So I'm not saying that, but I'm just Saying, like, there's no context. So I just also, you know, it's like we don't know. But at the same time, I'm like, ABC, like you knew about this charge. You knew that she threw a chair. Like, we all knew that. So why are you? So why are you canceling it because of that video? Because it literally shows what we already knew. So I'm just confused about that. People were saying, like, you know, you shouldn't have someone as the bachelorette that has like domestic violence charges or like allegations or whatever. Right. Um, and then people were like, Oh, she's changed, like, you know, whatever. We've seen her growth, all this stuff. So, like, give her a chance, that kind of thing. But honestly, now that all this has come out, I'm kind of like they were right. She should not have been given this platform. Like, they should not have made her the bachelorette. She shouldn't have said yes to the bachelorette. No. In the state that she was in. Like, if you're sleeping with your baby daddy the night before you leave, like, you do not need to be the bachelorette. Period.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So I'm just really sad because they decided to cancel it. I they I don't know that it's like canceled, canceled, or if they're just pausing it and they're gonna air it later. I'm not sure. Cause it said, like, there's no word yet on if they will air it at a later date or something. Oh man. So, but I'm just sad because like the previews looked really good. Yeah. And I'm just like, ugh, but then it's like I'm having like a moral dilemma because I'm like, do I want to support this now? Like, even if they do air it, like, should I even watch it? But then I'm like, it'd be really hard for me not to watch it to be honest, right? Selfishly. Because I'm like, I wanna see.

SPEAKER_02

But also, like your support is The Bachelorette. Yeah, you know, like you you're just trying to. I feel like that says that it's not that deep.

SPEAKER_00

It's really not that deep, but I it's just it's just hard. Yeah, it's just sad. I was excited. I was gonna have like a watch party this Sunday, and like I had girls coming over, and it was gonna be so fun, and now it's just like wow, Taylor. Girl, what you doing for real?

SPEAKER_02

For real, yeah. No, I literally like the girls in our community group were like sending texting stuff about it today. I was like, no freaking way. Yeah, that's wild. I'm just like I'm just shocked that they really canceled it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Will the bachelorette survive this? I don't know. Because do you know that that's like the thing for like Secret Lives of Mormon Wives? Like, will mom talk survive this about everything? But I don't know if the Bachelorette will survive this because they already didn't air last season, they didn't have a season last year for The Bachelorette.

SPEAKER_02

And the season, but before that for The Bachelorette was Dookie.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So wait, who even was the last Bachelorette? Jen.

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah, that was so bad. Yeah, I did not yeah. Jen was annoying.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I wanted it to be Maria so bad. We just really wanted it to be anybody else.

SPEAKER_00

Unfortunately, it Maria said no. She should have said yes.

SPEAKER_02

Probably because she has morals.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. But also, like, I haven't heard anything about her in years now, so I'm like, she should have just done it, she would have gotten more famous.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But she didn't. Maybe I'll be the next bachelorette. Maybe so. But now that guy from Charleston, we're not gonna get to see him.

SPEAKER_02

I know. And you know that that guy from Charleston dated a girl in my community group. What? Yeah, a girl in your group? Yeah, they dated.

SPEAKER_00

I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_02

Not even when on dates, dated. Like they dated. They were BFGF.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

What does she have to say about this man?

SPEAKER_02

Uh she said he was fake. Oh. Mm-hmm. Well, she was like, I enjoyed being around him. It just felt like there was something missing the whole time. And I didn't know what it was, and I was just confused.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's sad. And I was like, dang. Well, there you have it. Yeah. Yeah. Unfortunately.

SPEAKER_02

Also, his TikTok, it kind of just like makes me want to just like crash out. Like, you know. I haven't seen his TikTok, but yeah, it's pretty pretty uh pretty cringy, pretty bad.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I've been sober from TikTok for over a year now.

SPEAKER_02

That's incredible.

SPEAKER_00

I know. I get I am tempted sometimes to re-download.

SPEAKER_02

Anytime you're tempted, just think Ellie's never had TikTok.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that's a fair point. And um I don't really care. Instagram's enough for me.

SPEAKER_02

Honestly, Instagram is has Snapchat and TikTok all in one. Yeah. So it's like, what else do you need?

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00

Anyways, so that's that update.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and that was more of like an emotional update for both of us, too, because I feel like that was like a whirlwind of emotions for us all. Uh-huh. Like none of us were expecting that.

SPEAKER_00

We were all excited. Well, and also like the other thing about it is that these allegations about her other um like fight that she got into with Dakota came out recently, and then she had an interview at Good Morning America yesterday. She had this other interview with MV or with ABC. I feel like they were trying to save face and still be able to premiere the season. But then Dakota was like, Nope, and then dropped this video. It just feels very the timing, just feels very like intentional on his part. Yeah. Yeah. Because it's like you didn't release this for three years and then now you are you are. So that just feels really like mean, but that sucks. Yeah. I'm like, it sucks that that happened, but also like if you wanted to release it, you should have done it when it happened, not just like after you.

SPEAKER_02

You shouldn't have like waited to like use it when it was convenient for you.

SPEAKER_00

It's giving Steven from Tell Me Lies, which you haven't watched all of. No, but enough said. It's giving Steven. So just saying, but yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That show, man.

SPEAKER_02

Mm-hmm.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Anyways. Well, let's take a deep breath. And what else have you been watching? Let's move on.

SPEAKER_00

Um, I watched Bridgerton. Okay, and that was a new season. New season. Yeah, and how was it? It was great. It was kind of like it gave like a Cinderella story vibe. Oh. Um, this season, just like with the plot of it, and I really enjoyed it. I liked it. So yeah, it was really good. It had a definitely some plot twists for sure, which was fun. I love that. But I love Bridgerton. I know you're not as big of a fan of it, but um I just like the fashion and the music and just the culture of it. It's just like very fascinating to me. I just really like it. I enjoy it a lot. So, and I'm not like a big like Jane Austen girl. Like, I don't love like Pride and Prejudice, like all that kind of stuff. It's it's just a little too much for me. But Pride and Prejudice is too much for you? It's just too like.

SPEAKER_02

I even I like Pride and Prejudice.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, it's not that I don't like it, it's just like I'm not like obsessed. Like, you know how some people are like obsessed with Jane Austen? Yes. And they like live and breathe Jane Austen.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, I do.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, so that's I'm just saying, like, I'm not one of those people. It's not like that's not my favorite genre.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, yeah. No, I'm right there. Normally I enjoy that movie, but I have like not read the book.

SPEAKER_00

Right. You know? I feel like some people are like super into like all of that, like a sort of time period and all the that stuff. Right, okay, yeah. I'm not like as into that, but I just like it. But with Bridgerton, it's like done in a like a little bit more of a modern way, and I just feel like I really enjoy that. Yeah. So you were connecting. I was just with the characters describing. There was some sad stuff that happened though. So it was a it was a mix, but not the kind of TV for me then, yeah. Probably not. Yeah, probably not. Um I did start watching American Idol this season. Oh, wait, I think I've seen that on Hulu. Like, is it on Hulu? Yeah, yeah. And um, it's good. There's this one girl, Kendall, that I really like. She's from Tennessee, and it's funny because I started watching it actually because there's this girl, Hannah, that I really liked because she was like a stay-at-home mom, and she like went on and she was wearing like homemade clothes, and she's just like so cute. And she sung homemade clothes, like they were cute though, like she sewed them herself, kind of thing. Okay. Um, but she sung this song called String Cheese, and it like went viral on um Instagram and stuff, and it was just about like being a mom and just like opening up her kids' string cheese, and like it was just very like a heartfelt like song or whatever. It was super cute. And I started actually watching it because I really liked her, but then there's this girl Kendall, who I just am obsessed with. Like, she writes her own music, and she has this like really, really sweet relationship with her mom, and she wrote this song for her mom that she performed last week, and I literally made me cry. Like, it was just like wow, it was so good. I'll have to send it to you. It's really good. I think you would actually like her a lot. And then this uh this week she sang a Noah Kohan Noah Kahan. Is that how you say it? Noah con. Noah con. Sorry. Yeah, you got it. Noah Kahan song. I'm like, I don't really listen to him that much. I like his music, but I'm just not like a stan or whatever. But anyway, she sang one of his songs and it she was so good. And I just, anyways, I was just like, wait, I think I love her actually. She like she's my favorite. Where in Tennessee is she from? I think near Nashville. Oh, yeah. Oh, that checks out. Yeah. So, anyways, um, so I've been watching, I've just watched like two episodes. I watched uh last week's and this week's. Um, but I think I might watch the season. And I it's I kind of I feel like the girls are old enough to now watch. Yeah, yeah. I've been watching it with Sage. Um yeah, like the day after it airs, like during River's Nap, and that's been kind of fun. That's cute. And she's like, is she's like, that one's my favorite. Oh my gosh. She's probably so obsessed. She is. It's so cute. So it's fun. So I've been watching that, but what have you been watching?

SPEAKER_02

Well, um, TV-wise, I was re-watching New Girl. Always. And then I accidentally started watching a show called Scrubs. Yeah, I've seen that. You've seen that? Yeah, it's older. Okay, yeah. It's older. It's older. It's like early 2000s. Yeah. And it's kind of a vibe. It's funny. It's it's funny, it's silly, it's goofy. I like those things. And it's just like an easy, like, okay, I'm like cleaning up the downstairs at work, and I just want to have like something on in the background, and so I'll just turn that on. Yeah. So that's been like a fun watch. And then there's also like um, I guess they're like they remade the show with like all the same people, but they're all old. Scrubs? Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah, I think I accidentally watched the first episode of that. Oh, really? And then I was like, what? That's and then because then when I looked up Scrubs again, I started watching it, but it was the normal Scrubs. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And then I was like, this isn't what I I had no idea they did that. That they I think they did that with Arrested Development too, didn't they? Like where they like made seasons later. Yeah, I don't know. But this is like much later. So I'm like, I don't Yeah, that's crazy. I had no idea.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, so I'm just I was just like, you know what? Why not? Well, if you were a scrub fan, go check out the new updated season. Scrub. I don't want no scrub.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Um, movie-wise. Um well, I'll talk about Sophie's Choice first. Have you ever seen Sophie's Choice? Is that a scary movie? No, it is not. Oh. Well, it depends. It's not. It's not like the genre is not scary. Who's in it? Um, Meryl Street and um I think I'm thinking of a different movie. No, I don't remember their names. Okay, it's it's super I haven't finished the movie because it was just late and we turned it off, and I like watched it last night, so it's like fresh on the brain. Yeah. But it's like I thought it was gonna be like more of a romance, and maybe it ends that way because I haven't watched the last 40 minutes of it, but it's like a two and a half hour long movie. So we were like, yeah, we're going to bed.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Um fair. But it's like this girl, and she's dating this guy, and he's like obsessed with like the Nazis and World War II, and like just like hates everything that happened, and like is like this professor guy that like knows a bunch about it, and he's like just against all of that stuff, and he's dating Sophie, and Sophie like went to Auschwitz and like has the like tattooed number and stuff, and then this crazy this guy moves in downstairs and he's like from the south, and he's a writer, and they're like in the same building, but they're in like a like house in the suburbs in Brooklyn, but like a bunch of people rent out rooms, you know. Um and so she basically is like has lied to her boyfriend this whole like throughout the entirety of their relationship about her past, and then where I stopped was like her telling the guy that moved in that she got close to like her the truth, and I'm not gonna say the truth because Yeah, well, because now I might want to watch it. I think you should because it's like it's it's not what I thought it would be, and I didn't really know anything about it other than like that's a name of a movie that is known and familiar, you know? Yeah, um, and I haven't finished it, but it's really good.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, and I was like, oh, right?

SPEAKER_02

She's a baddie, a baddie. So yeah, it's just super interesting, and like I love a movie that's like interesting and also educational, but not fiction. Yeah. You know? Yeah. So I don't know. I just really like it, but we'll see how the ending goes. Then the other movie that I'm obsessed as on Hulu now, um, because all I watch is basically anything on Hulu because I'm only the only streaming service I have is your Hulu account on my phone. So that's that's all I have. Yeah. Um, but I'm vibing. And I've watched my cousin Vinny twice.

SPEAKER_00

Have you seen that movie? Uh I think so, but it's been a minute.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my gosh. It's just so good. Like that movie, like, is like prime, like that is what I want out of the movie. Like it's like funny and sarcastic and silly, but not in a like stupid, silly way, but like, and then it's like also a court case and the trial, and then like an unexpected, like just like so good. Oh, it's just so good. I wonder if Bobby's seen it. Maybe we should watch it. We definitely should watch it. Yeah. It's so good. Like that that movie, like we would like we would always be doing chores on Saturdays in our house growing up, and like some sort of TV would be on in the back, whether it's like football or war movies. It was it was generally football, war movies, or like some whatever was on the TV, which would be like this movie. And it just like makes me it's so nostalgic for me, like, and it's just so like funny and good, and like yeah, I just really love it. So I've been I've been really enjoying that movie and showing a bunch of people that movie because apparently not a lot of people know about it, but I think it's incredible. So I'm like, let's watch this movie, yeah. I'll watch it again and again and again.

SPEAKER_01

Love it. Yeah, but that's all I've been watching.

SPEAKER_02

Cool, yeah, yeah. I feel good to get get all of that off my chest, honestly. Yeah, because like it's been I've been holding it in for so long.

SPEAKER_00

Since my dad doesn't listen to this, I want to tell you something funny slash annoying that he did when I was in Chattanooga. Okay, so um I get there and like my dad is just like a very interesting person. Like, I don't know, I it's it's hard to describe him, so I'm not gonna try to, but um, he basically like was in the basement, like because he has like his little workstation down there. I think he was like doing some work or something when I first got to Chattanooga because I got in at like 2 p.m. on like a Friday, so he was still working, yeah, and he works from home some days, and he just like stomps up the stairs because he's like this like 6'3 man, and he just stomps everywhere he goes and he like comes upstairs and he's like, So, how many of the um the uh nominated movies have you watched this year? Like the first thing he says to me when I get into town. I'm just like okay. Um, and I was like, um, probably none because I'm like, first of all, I have three small children. Yeah, I don't just like go to the theater, like you know, like I don't just go to the movie theater on a whim, like he can or whatever.

SPEAKER_02

Also, I'm gonna watch what's popular, not what they think is like nominate.

SPEAKER_00

Which like there's some of the movies that like are very popular, like Marty Supreme. Yeah, there are some movies that like maybe I would have seen, but I've like I've literally seen two movies in theaters this year. It's been Wicked for Good and The Housemaid with You. Yeah, the only movies I've seen. And so I was like, probably none. I was like, unless Wicked was nominated for something, yeah. Like it wasn't nominated for anything. And I was like, okay. He's like, well, you should really stay more up to date with these movies. And I was like, okay, dad.

SPEAKER_02

Sorry. Maybe if you live to listen to my podcast.

SPEAKER_00

No, and then my mom and then my mom was like, Yeah, well, the only reason he's seen them is because he like sits in the basement and like rents these$20 movies um for no reason. I'm like, so he's not even going to the movie theater, he's just like renting them and watching them by himself in the basement, not even like inviting you to watch it with him. And she's like, Yeah, and I'm like, perfect. So he's he's interesting. But anyways, that was kind of like a funny, just a funny thing that happened when I was in town.

SPEAKER_02

That's so crazy. I was like, you know what? How dare he come at you for not being knowledgeable about movies? I know. I'm so knowledgeable. That's so disrespectful. We have a whole podcast about it.

SPEAKER_00

Um, do you have a podcast?

SPEAKER_02

No, no, that's what I thought. Yeah, sit back. Sit back down. Yeah, don't talk to me. Sit down. Actually, make me dinner. Check yourself. Check yourself. Watch yourself. Okay, and I have a story about what I've been listening to. Okay. So there's this song. Have you you know the movie Dog Man? It's this weird animated movie. No, I don't know any of these movies you're talking about. Okay, okay, well, it's okay though. I haven't seen it. Dog man. I just I will sometimes when I work out, I'll just like do like a random like um workout mix that like Spotify will give me because I just am like I want something new. Yeah. And so the song like came up and I was like, oh, this is kind of a bop. And then I was like, oh, this from an animated movie, but I'm gonna keep listening to it because it's like a bop. Yeah. So um let me paint you a picture. Okay, it's midnight. I'm fast asleep.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I play white noise every night because I live right off of Folly Road, the connector. So I'm like, it's loud. The cars are always loud. Yeah. So I turn my sound machine up pretty loud because I need it. Right. Okay. I have no idea how, no idea how, but at midnight, this is what I hear. But like and I'm like that song. What a way to wake up. That song is like a song I've been vibing to. I'm like, was it was it on a cue? Like, but I had been look I've been asleep for like hours.

SPEAKER_00

I'm like the cue waits like two hours.

SPEAKER_02

I'm like, did I turn it on in my sleep? You're like must hear a song. But it's and you're asleep. You just like reach over and look. But it's like I I just like arise to ow, I feel good. What time is it? We're in the house. How does that happen? I was so confused. I have no idea how it happened. Oh my god. It was the weirdest thing. So funny. It was so weird. That's hilarious. That was like this week. Yeah. That was wild. It was wild.

SPEAKER_00

So funny. What a way to wake up. Yeah at midnight. Like, what did you do? Did you just like go back to sleep, or like did it take you a minute?

SPEAKER_02

I just turned well. I woke up and went pee. I was like, okay, I'll go pee and then go right back asleep. That's so funny. How does that even happen? I don't know. I wish I knew. I have no explanation for it. That is so funny.

SPEAKER_00

That's really random. So weird. Yeah, you're never gonna hear that song again without thinking about that.

SPEAKER_02

I know.

SPEAKER_00

That is a good song to work out too. Maybe I'll add it to my uh my song.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's honestly a great song. Yeah, well, but Young Gravy. Yeah, I kind of live with it. Yeah. Um, yeah, so that's what I've been listening to. Apparently at all hours of the day. Yeah, apparently. Yeah, so funny.

SPEAKER_00

Um, I really haven't been listening to anything exciting, to be honest. I feel like I'm just listening to my same old, same old, but the new Zach Bryan album came out, so I've been listening to a little bit of that. Yeah, I like the new Song, um, it's called like runny eggs from his album. Yeah, and then there's one called something about drowning. I think it's called Drowning. Um, I like that one too. It's like sounds sad, but it's actually good. Um, and then um uh what else have I been listening to? I wrote something else down. Oh, um, this isn't something I've been listening to, but the high water music festival's coming up.

SPEAKER_02

You will be listening to this.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's coming up next month, and I'm going and I'm excited because I get to see Camp live, which for the first time, which I have never seen them live. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Shania 2000. Have you seen I mean I love Shania. I know. Let's go girls. Like, are you joking? Like, are you joking? Yeah, like like yeah, let's go girls, exactly. Literally.

SPEAKER_00

Um, and then I have seen Penny and Sparrow, but very excited to see them again. Yeah. So I think there's a few other people too, but those are the three I'm most excited for that day. So very pumped. I'm hoping Bobby can go.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But my alternate is Ellie, is gonna go.

SPEAKER_02

So I'm hoping Bobby can't go.

SPEAKER_00

We'll see. Yeah. Um, he's gonna try to get out of his work. Is he just scheduled for work that day? It's like an extra shift, but it's supposed to be out of town. But if it's like an in town, then he might be able to like work half the day or something because it would be like the same amount of money, anyways. It's like complicated, but yeah, we'll see. Um but yeah, what have you been reading?

SPEAKER_02

Um well, some I've been trying to like be more disciplined about like using more time at work when um Graham is napping to like read instead of just like watching TV the whole time.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Um, so I'm almost done with my book that I've been reading since January, which is why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria. Um and it's actually like it's just a super good book. It's like it's not like a ton of new information, it's just information clearly like written, and it's it just does like a really good job at like verbalizing like what like how like racism is experienced through diff different like ethnicities and like biracial and like yeah, and and it I also like it a lot because it talks about like the whole point of it is like how it affects adolescents, yeah, and like them, and that's like what I who I want to teach. And like that is what I'm interested in. So it's just like a very like it's an educational book, so it's not like a for fun book. I'm like learning while I'm reading it, which is good, and I like to I should like I want to challenge myself in that way and like always have a book like that that I'm reading, but I'm also like I have to like put my big girl britches on because it's a lot, yeah, and it's like heavy, and yeah, but it's really good and yeah, it's good. But I've also I listened to the book Dear Debbie by Frida McFadden. Okay, did you like it? Yeah, it was crazy. Her books always make me go, what? when I'm just like listening by myself, like in the car, or like I'll have like my AirPods in cleaning at my nanny family's house, and you're like, Frida say what? I say, huh? And and then I'm like, oh my gosh, my nanny dad is working in the office right next door. Like I can't yell right now. That is so funny.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it'd be like that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So that's that's kind of all I've been rotting to. I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I have a um new book series. Well, first of all, I finished the housemaid series. So we read that first housemaid book a few months ago together, but then I read the next two in the series last month, and I liked them. The second one, I I think I liked the is it the same housemaid girl? Yeah, so but it's just in like different situations. So like the the next one is like her working at a new job. Okay, and I remember the ending of the movie where she like met the and then the next uh book is her like in the future with kids. Oh, yeah, and it's like more about like something that happens with her neighbor. So they're very different, which is nice. The second one I would say is like more similar to the first, but the twist was like really good. Oh, I love that. And the second one, the third one was still really good, but I didn't like it as much because like I felt like it was a little more predictable, but I still liked it, yeah. So it was I feel like they were still worth like reading.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, well, I've got like a seven-hour drive to Virginia tomorrow.

SPEAKER_00

So I would I would recommend The House Mate because you already know the first one, so it's like be easy, yeah. Like, yeah, easy peasy, good listen. But yeah, yeah, so that was fun, and then I just started a new series, so it's called the Boys of Tommen series. Have you ever heard of it? Mm-mm. So it's based in Ireland, which is fun, but it's like um it's basically so the the books are binding 13 and then um keeping 13 and then saving six uh and redeeming six or something like that, and then the one I'm reading now is Taming Seven. So basically it's like the numbers are like rugby numbers, so like it's based on in this high school in Ireland, and all the boys that are in the series play rugby, so like whatever or actually one of them plays another like hurling, which was like another sport yeah in Ireland because he goes to a different school. Um, but anyways, Tom and is like the name of the high school that they all go to. Oh, okay. Yeah, and it's very trauma heavy, so I don't think you would like it. Yeah, probably not, but it's very good though, like the story of the plot. So it has so if I would say if you if you grew up in like any sort of like abusive household, like don't read these books, like they're very they would be very triggering. But basically, like the main character Shannon, um, in like the first two books, it's like about her and this guy, Johnny. And she is like in a very like abusive household, like her father's very abusive and stuff. Um, and it's just sort of how her and her siblings, she's like the second child out of like five siblings, and it's just about how they're like surviving, but then she like meets this guy, Johnny, and she's also has experienced like really severe bullying at school, and just like about how her like his family and their relationship sort of helps her, and and then the first two books are about them too, and like some crazy stuff happens, and then the next two books are about her brother and his girlfriend, and it's interesting because it sort of follows a similar timeline, but then you hear it from like his perspective and like stuff that's he's experiencing because he's the oldest sibling, so he's sort of well, actually, no, he's not the oldest, he was the oldest in the house. There was another older brother that had left. Oh, okay. So I guess there's actually six of them. There's actually, I think there's six kids, yeah. But he there was only five in the house, anyways. And it's just like his role of like the protector interest um over his siblings and stuff, and then like he sort of like struggles with like substance abuse, and so it's like about that. So I would say also if you've ever had like a family member with struggle with that, that would be really triggering. Thankfully, I haven't experienced those things, so I think for me it was like fine to read, yeah. But I thought about like certain friends, I was like, should not listen to this. This other friend should not read this, but I'm reading it on my on a Kindle. So my friend Kenzie let me borrow her Kindle for a few months, and I am obsessed because Kindle Unlimited, it's only$12 a month, and you can get as many books as you want. You just download them, they're free. Well, free with like the$12, but it's like way cheaper than like Audible or like an audiobook membership. It's basically like you're just like checking books out and then you return them and like you download them and then you return it. Yeah, yeah. But I don't know how many you can have at once, but like it's a lot at once that you can have. And that actually has like the Bible downloaded on there, so sometimes if I'm just out and about and I have but I have the Kindle, I can like read my Bible on there. Yeah, so it's actually so I think I'm gonna get a Kindle. I think I'm sold on the Kindle thing.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, everybody I know that reads from a Kindle is like, this is the best thing that has ever been created.

SPEAKER_00

And I just didn't really feel that way because I love a physical book, I love paper, like just I just feel like it's like I don't know. Sometimes I I have a hard time veering from like the old-fashioned things because I'm just like, this is the way it was meant to be, right? Yeah, um not in like a boomer way, but just in a like, I just don't want to lose nostalgic with like the good old days kind of thing, like nostalgic of like reading a book, but I do think it's like super convenient. Like I love bringing my Kindle on my flights, yeah, and like just it's easy to throw in your bag, it's lightweight, like you can bring it to the beach, like right, yeah. All the things, it's just very easy to like bring with you. So I'm I'm loving it, yeah. And so I've been really into that. So that's I've literally read so many books I've read. I'm on my 11th book of the year. That's wild. And then and all the books I read last month were on the Kindle. The first month, I think I was like mostly audiobook, and then I read the Nightingale paperback. Oh my gosh, wait. Did we talk about the Nightingale on here?

unknown

Did we?

SPEAKER_00

Uh I thought we did. Did we not? I don't know. I think we talked about it last time. Okay, yeah, because I think it was I saw it in our notes from last time because that's just one of my favorite books ever. Wait, maybe we didn't. No, hold on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We did. Oh, okay. We talked about it last time, but yeah, Nightingale was so good. So good. If you've never read it, so good. Gotta read it. Um, but anyway, so I'm really enjoying that series. It's really good, it's a little spicy. So there's a little spice to it.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

But not too much. Um, the plot is still very much prevalent. I don't mind a little spice of a little bit of too crazy. Oh, a little bit of spice. Um, but then it also is very trauma-heavy. So I would say they so I just discovered this term. It's called like a closed door reader. So, like, I think it's called closed door, but it's basically like a closed door reader, is like you don't want any spice in the book. So if you're a closed door reader, this would not be for you.

SPEAKER_02

Interesting. I don't know what kind of reader I am. Because I find that I what I enjoy reading is different than what I enjoy watching.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that's true. I feel like I've experienced that with you because you enjoyed reading The Housemaid, but not really watching it. Yeah, I did not enjoy watching it. Yeah, you don't like the visual of it as much. No. You're like, mm, I'm good, yeah, yeah. But reading it feels different, yeah. Yeah. So, anyways, that's the uh Boys of Tom and series. Wait, feel about it. It was good. What's up? Is it is the Nightingale a movie? So, yes, it just was announced it's gonna be a movie, and it's the fanning sisters, like Dakota and I think it's L or Ellie fanning. It's probably not Ellie. L it's it's L. Yeah. I don't know. Dakota is the more famous one, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I would know about the famous person named Ellie. Yeah, it's like no one. It's like E-L L E.

SPEAKER_00

Oh. So I want it might be L. Yeah. L. Yeah. So, um, but yeah, it's gonna be them, and I think the older sister's playing, obviously the older sister, and then Elle's playing the younger sister.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, so it's going to come out.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's coming. I think it's starting to film this spring, and then it comes out like next year.

SPEAKER_02

Whoa. Like next winter or next spring. I read this book like five years ago, and when I bought the book, it like said like coming out as a movie. Oh, really? Yeah. And then I was like, did I miss it coming out?

SPEAKER_00

Certainly not. I would have like No. Actually, Bobby started reading it. Really? He read the first chapter, and I was like, I think you would actually really like it. Um so good.
