Opening Banter And Setup

SPEAKER_01 1:12

Hello everyone. Welcome to this week's episode of Thirsty Topics. I'm Lawrence Elrod.

SPEAKER_00 1:18

And I'm Meryl Klemo.

SPEAKER_01 1:20

Hey Meryl, how are we doing?

SPEAKER_00 1:22

Good. I almost said I'm Meryl Elrod. I don't know you like that. Yeah. I'm really good. How are the how are you? How are thou?

SPEAKER_01 1:37

I am doing very well. How about you?

SPEAKER_00 1:42

I'm doing as well as a human could in 2026.

SPEAKER_01 1:47

I can definitely understand that. I can definitely understand that. Well, we definitely have a lot going on today. So I'm actually going to go ahead and let you start this one off.

Southwest Aisle Wedding Goes Viral

SPEAKER_00 1:58

Okay, great. Now, um, a fun fact this is about a uh Southwest flight where a couple got married in the airplane aisle, um, blocking the bathroom access. So I think you know, we've all heard of destination weddings, but some people are really taking it to the next level. A couple named Tina and Roger took their love to new heights after tying the knot aboard a southwest flight, as seen in a viral TikTok video with over 5.2 million views. Um, in the clip, a flight attendant is heard announcing the mile hide marriage over the intercom. Um, Tina and Roger, who quite literally walked down the aisle on this flight, and you know, everyone on board was invited to the wedding. And so everyone did stay seated, not only because for the wedding, but just because they were on a flight. And um, I don't know, this is kind of cute. Like, I do feel like some ridiculous things happen on Southwest flights. I've had someone stand up and play the guitar before. Um very fun fact is that I just flew Southwest and I flew a nighttime flight, and the next morning is when they went right into their new policy of getting rid of like the group A and B and now having assigned seats. And so it was at nighttime the the night before that I went on it. So the the airline attendants and everything were saying, oh, you guys are some of the last people ever in 55 years to fly, like you know, in groups, and so we were all clapping and everything. So I feel like you know, Southwest is kind of fun. Um, I would think it's so cute if people were getting married on the flight. And to me, like as someone who is a nervous flyer, I think this would help me like just distract me. So as long as I could use the bathroom on it and somehow they wouldn't block my way to the bathroom. I think this is adorable. And hopefully it's like not taking longer than like 15 minutes, I think is the max. You know, like we're not wanting this for an hour, but if you get up and do your thing, I think it's very cute.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

I I believe so too. I mean, it's a fun thing, and you know, if you're nervous about flying, this would kind of put a smile on your face. So um, and then I also say kudos to um to the airline for allowing them to do this and you know, not being jerks and like nah, sit down, no, you can't do this or whatever. So I think it was very, very positive for not only the passengers, but also the flight crew itself.

SPEAKER_00 4:27

Exactly. Now, I do wonder how this works in terms of like what state you're over getting married in. You know, if you get married in the air, where's your is your you know, to make sure you're getting married, like I wonder if you have to be in the state that you are like having your marriage licenses in while you're in the air or anything.

SPEAKER_01 4:46

That's a great question. Um, also the other question is is was there anyone on the flight that can legally officiate the wedding too?

SPEAKER_00 4:55

I know, yeah. And also, if you're Southwest, like, come on, now you're on the hook for giving them a good honeymoon, giving them tickets to a honeymoon. I'm like, at least give them like free drinks or something.

SPEAKER_01 5:08

Yeah, that's true. That's true. I would love to know if they did something uh pretty cool for them because you know, let's face it, it's great publicity for the airlines too.

SPEAKER_00 5:18

Yeah, but also wouldn't that be weird if you're the family and friends of a couple that get married because you're like, oh, I'm not invited to the wedding, but like every random stranger on the plane is so I think that would be actually be a very cute idea if like you had your friends and family on the flight with you, and then the vacation was like the honeymoon, and you're you're you know, you would do the stuff on the plane, and then you land in like a you know, whatever place you are in, and then like you have one or two days to celebrate.

SPEAKER_01 5:45

That's true. I mean, actually, that's a great idea. I mean, invite very close family and family friends, they think they're just going on a on a trip to you know, just have fun or whatever, not realizing you guys are getting married, and you're celebrating. Exactly. That's cute.

SPEAKER_00 6:00

That would be a great idea.

SPEAKER_01 6:02

That would be that'll be pretty nice.

SPEAKER_00 6:03

I feel like if I got married on the plane and they said, Does anyone object? Right in that moment, like we would get struck by lightning. There there'd be like so much turbulence that I'm like, I like fly out the exit window or something.

SPEAKER_01 6:18

Well, let's hope that um that this is good luck for them and uh they have a very, very long marriage.

Airline Policy Shift And Etiquette

SPEAKER_00 6:26

Yeah, I think that's cute, and we should just let them do it.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

Let them that is so true. Well, talking about something to me that's not so cute. Merle, have you heard about the table surfing challenge? No. This is very interesting, and before I start, please, please do not do this at home. Do not do this. Um, the table surfing challenge is a highly dangerous and illegal social media trend in which participants sit or stand on an overturned folding table tied to the back of a moving vehicle, filming the stuff for viewers and likes online. The activity is incredibly unsafe as participants can be whipped from side to side and thrown off the table, leading to severe injuries or death. To give you an example of this, because some people probably don't believe me, but uh the trend has already resulted in tragic outcomes, including the death of a 17-year-old boy and a 20-year-old woman sustaining permanent catastrophic head injuries. I mean, I get it. Yeah, it's crazy, they want to participate and stuff. I just don't get this. To me, there's nothing fun about this at all. I mean, what do you think?

SPEAKER_00 7:52

I mean, I feel like more times, especially if we're not like the best athletes in the world, this is just going to most times lead to people getting hurt. And it's like, what's the upside? You either get a thrill or you got like a cool video, which I don't even think is that cool, and it just yeah, it's a it's a stupid trend.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

It is, and you know, the real bad part about these trends is that people see them if they see it starting to go viral, people knowing how dangerous it is feels that well, it can't happen to me. And there's a lot of people that are regretting that decision.

SPEAKER_00 8:29

Yep, I think so too. And I just think anything where it makes you stand on a piece of furniture or like do something that you're not doing in your normal everyday life, especially if you're not like I'm definitely not the most athletic, and so I feel like any trend that's gonna make me stand on something or balance on something is like it's just not the time.

SPEAKER_01 8:50

Yeah, that's true, and you know, it is cool to say no sometimes. Sometimes, if your friends have these stupid ideas, it's okay to be like, you know what, I'm not doing this. Oh, you're a square. You no problem, I'll be a square. I won't be in the hospital. Um, my family won't be crying over me, but I'll be a square, that's fine.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

Exactly. And the next trend we'll be there in like a day or so. So, you know, you could do something that's like a little bit sillier or a prank or something.

SPEAKER_01 9:16

Oh, yeah. I would I would love to challenge people out there when you see these silly challenges. Come up with a fun challenge of your own and let us know about it.

SPEAKER_00 9:28

Like, I I love the ones too where they give someone like they pay for someone's groceries or they like you know, one of my favorite things is like they drive around cities and they yell compliments to people, and you know, like I mean, like I cry every time, and I think it's so cute. And like to me, that one has such a bigger impact than just someone standing on a table where they like aggressively yell, like, your smile is beautiful.

The Dangerous Table Surfing Trend

SPEAKER_01 9:54

I just love that. I would say a great challenge would be is to tell the youngster that um that you're proud of them. You know, the sad part is that there are people, even adults, that have never been told in their life, I love you, I'm proud of you. And those words are powerful. You know, if someone has done something that you really appreciate, someone you care about, tell them because they may not hear this, and you may be thinking, Oh, they hear this all the time. No, that's not true. You know, I would love to see stuff like that go viral.

SPEAKER_00 10:31

Oh, yeah, and there's one creator that stands at malls and everything, and he'll see a person walk by, and then he'll be like, I see you, like I see you in that navy blue shirt with the collar on it. And like it's so cute because watching people light up, because as you said, like a lot of people just don't even get noticed in their everyday life, and like most people don't, I think, don't feel seen. And so when he like, you know, he dresses them up and down, he's like, I see you in that in that outfit, like looking so good, and you could just see people's whole demeanor change and it just become so smiley. And so to me, that's like so much cooler, and that just that all makes like all of us feel good.

SPEAKER_01 11:09

I agree, I agree. I can't wait to see if people listen to us because I hope they do.

SPEAKER_00 11:16

Well, someone that will not be table surfing at the Super Bowl will be uh our president, Donald J. Trump. Is it Jay Trump? Yeah, I don't know. Um uh he said that he's not into it because of the halftime performers, Bad Bunny, which we already knew about, and then the newly added Green Day, which I think is hilarious because people were complaining about Bad Bunny, and then they're like, we want like an American band, and you know, which is obviously crazy, but then they chose Green Day, who is very, very like anti-Don Trump. So he says he's anti them, and then said he's skipping this year's Super Bowl. Um, he can't stand the performers selected for the halftime show. He's not very pleased that Bad Bunny and Green Day are chosen, both of who are big critics of the president. And um his words are I'm anti them. I think it's a terrible choice. All it does is sh sow or show hatred, terrible. Um now, like I am not someone that I'm not I'm not super into either of their music. Like green, I kind of like Bad Bunny more. I think Green Day gives me a little bit of a headache, and the other, but like to me, skipping, you can be you can go and just kind of you know be busy during the halftime show. You could just talk to people or just ignore them. You don't have to like being glued to them if you don't like them.

SPEAKER_01 12:36

Yeah, I'm gonna guess that's not the real reason he's going. Yeah. Right now, he's not very popular right now, based on a bunch of stuff going on in the world. Um again, I could be a thousand percent wrong, but I think I don't think uh the people playing at halftime is the real reason he's not showing up.

SPEAKER_00 13:02

Exactly. And I think he doesn't, I mean, both people, maybe not bad bunny, but Green Day is definitely gonna call him out for sure. You know, I bet that's most of their set is like definitely saying things here and there. So he doesn't want the camera to pan to him and him have to like be sitting there while having everyone cheer while Green Day like slams him.

SPEAKER_01 13:23

Well, I guess the question would be if that happened, will he be able to sit there without reacting? That's really the big question.

SPEAKER_02 13:33

No, no, he'll be like grumpy.

SPEAKER_01 13:36

So yeah, yeah, we may be back to the uh to to that uh Ford Auto plant. Uh we remember that one.

SPEAKER_00 13:43

Oh yeah. Yeah, remember like last year caused the big, you know, can't it was Kendrick last year, which is like you know, and I we we talked about this at length. We're like, I I'm obviously I understand like it had a lot of impact on a lot of people. It meant I don't want to take away that it meant a lot to a lot of people. Musically, I didn't like I wasn't like, oh my god, this is like the absolute best performance I've ever seen or whatever, but like I think we just have to remember that the Super Bowl, they're trying to please like so many people. So if it's not for us, it's okay. Like, and next year maybe they'll choose someone that speaks more to you. Like, you know, this performance isn't I'm not super excited about Bad Bunny or Green Day, but like that's okay. Maybe next year there'll be someone that like speaks more to me, and we all have to remember that it's not like all just for us personally all the time, you know.

SPEAKER_01 14:34

That is so true. And here's the reality no matter who you put up on there, someone's not gonna like them.

SPEAKER_00 14:40

Um yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 14:42

So I think the best thing to do is get someone that has a mass appeal over different genres, and then you have to change it out every so often. That's really the best you can do because there's and you're you're right, there's no way humanly possible you're gonna please every single person with who you put out there, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:01

And um, Bad Bunny is uh he's Puerto Rican, right? And like, and I I think that's awesome. Um like I think that's a great. I feel like I'm all in favor, especially the ridiculousness that Puerto Ricos have had to go through and had stuff said about them. So like I think that is so freaking cool, and if that makes like a whole bunch of people really proud and can see themselves in it, uh that makes me like that it's worth it.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

Oh, I agree, and some people need to remember Puerto Ricans are American citizens, they're not migrants. I don't know if people keep forgetting that.

SPEAKER_02 15:34

I can't, yeah. I I just can't.

SPEAKER_01 15:39

Well, since we're on a happy note here, I want to talk about a beautiful thing that's being done down in Florida. All students at the Johns High School in Orlando, Florida will be getting a full ride scholarship to Valencia College.

SPEAKER_00 16:00

Wow. Wait, did you say law students?

SPEAKER_01 16:04

Uh no, uh high school students.

SPEAKER_00 16:06

Oh, high school students, oh my god, that's so cool. So majoring in anything, not not a specific, like a not like a certain like uh going to college for a major or anything?

Reinventing Challenges For Good

SPEAKER_01 16:18

Nope, anything that's uh you know offered by Valencia College. Um, I think that a lot of students are gonna have to make some hard choices because on the one hand you have let's say I was looking at XYZ College over here is free. Yeah. So unless you're in a specialized type situation, yeah, I think you probably want to go to Valencia College. What do you think?

SPEAKER_00 16:44

Exactly, exactly. Take the take the free education and like invest that money. Or I mean the the baller setup would be to like if you were still going to pay for college to try to like invest in some real estate and then you're set for years and years, and you know, like I just think I in a I don't know if it's a considered a good school or whatever, but I still think you could like make the most out of your education and start you know, internships and working in like real life, I feel like is so important too.

SPEAKER_01 18:08

Oh, exactly. And you know, Meryl, I would love to see a lot more corporations do this. Um, because I think this is a great thing. Um, because again, college is so expensive. I mean, a four-year degree will cost you, depending on where you're going, anywhere from$150 to$200,000. Yeah. So I mean, that's a mortgage. That's a mortgage payment, you know. And then with the proposed changes, you know, with uh for parent plus programs and stuff like that coming along. Um we need to see more of this.

SPEAKER_00 18:42

Do you know why that is? Is it because of like a donor?

SPEAKER_01 18:48

Uh yes. In fact, this was done. Let me see. Okay, the scholarship is called the the life is called Life Scholars. Uh, it's modeled after uh Oscola Counties um per initiative, and what it does is aim to increase college enrollment among Jones high school students by eliminating the barrier of cost. So on January 7, 2026, students at Jones High Schools got an unexpected boost uh towards their future today. Um and the scholarship covers the cost of college or technical education at Valencia College. The announcement came during a school assembly where Valencia College and Orange County Public Schools leaders revealed the new program funded by a donation from Lyft Orlando. Uh, that's the organization behind these scholarships.

SPEAKER_00 20:02

Cool. That's so great. I feel like that's such an amazing way. Like if I was super rich or whatever, so that's like such a gift that keeps giving.

SPEAKER_01 20:13

Yeah, like I said, uh, I know they show the reactions of the students. Um, a lot of these students were just in shock and disbelief about it. And I think the school principal did a great job. Uh, she kind of emulated Oprah Winfrey when she goes, You get a scholarship, you can get a scholarship, you get a scholarship.

SPEAKER_00 20:32

Yeah, yep, absolutely. I think that's so great. Yeah, I think I think kids should go to it, and then the nice freedom it will have to not have any college, have any debt or whatever, and like you can always do a different degree, a master's degree or whatever, at like if you're really wanting to go to a certain school or like a IB league or something, you can do that down the road. But I think like if I like I feel like take the education and travel and invest in real estate, and I feel like that's like the best investment you can make.

SPEAKER_01 21:02

Well, yeah, and you're right. I think it opens up the door to a lot of students looking into you know getting their masters because even if they have to get loans for the master's degree program, the big chunk of their education is taken care of.

SPEAKER_00 21:17

Yeah, yep.

SPEAKER_01 21:20

So I love it.

Super Bowl Halftime And Politics

SPEAKER_00 21:22

Well, now I want to go again. Um, okay. Well, my last subject is um all about so you know, uh next week maybe I'll prepare a little more in terms of the there's been so much with like the ridiculous ongoing and never-ending Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni. I'm sure at this point we're all sick of it, but it does get juicy when like they're they're leaking a lot of um like uh their text between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively. This one that I chose, so maybe maybe next week we'll have some more kind of juicy tidbits in that way. The story this time that I wanted to talk about was uh actress Jamila Jamil reflected on an epic fallout from her Blake Lively text that got leaked, um, saying that she got death threats and everything. So, you know, she was uh in the controversy because she had to hand over her phone that got um her phone got taken and then it was handed over to the lawyers, and then her texts were not only seen by Blake talking about her, but they were made public. Now, I'm sure many of us have talked about our coworkers in private of what we think is just going to be texts to people, and imagine this like getting aired to everyone. I feel like when you text people, you never think that this is gonna be seen not only by the public, but like in a court of law and by the person itself. Um, and so she did 24 hours later, she got death threats, accusations of not being a real feminist, um, encouragement for her to kill herself. And so uh yeah, she was just like saying stuff about Blake Lively. I think she had to be in on the crazy premiere and like all the drama. So, of course she's gonna have some thoughts on it. And and also, like, why is she not allowed to say her opinion? Like, we don't know what these people went through or anything, so that has to suck so bad. So at least she's talking out about it now and um just saying that she's conflicted and like obviously this was kind of an unguessable situation to happen.

SPEAKER_01 23:32

Yeah, I mean, it is crazy, but you know, it it it um really kind of highlights the point that um anything that you say that is written down um can't come back to bite you because a lot of people don't know that when you get text messages, um, you put up your posts and stuff like that on social media. You can take all those things down, but they can be retrieved. A lot of people don't know that. Exactly. So you have to really think about what and and also if you're just everyday people, nine times out of ten, it's not a big deal. But it's another thing when you're a high-profile celebrity.

SPEAKER_00 24:13

Yeah. And what's up with all the I mean, I think a lot of them are bots, but people like threatening death to this person. I'm like, it's so weird. It's like then just unfollow them or don't like them. Like, why would you threaten death for someone writing about their coworker who like a lot of people seem to have stuff to say about? Like I think a lot of these things are just like for real bots or just weird like accounts, but um, that's just such a weird thing that I've heard of nowadays is people like messaging each other to like harm each other and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 24:43

Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, so many times, Merle, the real backstory is not the actual story itself, but the comments that you read behind what people say, and some of the stuff people talk about and what they say is just unbelievable.

SPEAKER_02 24:57

I know.

SPEAKER_01 24:58

It's like, is this person your cousin or your best friend?

SPEAKER_02 25:01

I mean, you know these people. Yeah, it's so weird.

SPEAKER_01 25:07

Yeah, so unfortunately, that's one of those things where especially when you know there's a um any kind of legal or civil case that goes into courts, it's almost like everything's on the table at that point.

SPEAKER_00 25:21

Yes, this is again, it's so messy just with like Blake and Justin. It's like it's embarrassing like reading everyone's things, and it's just it's like it's mess, messy and cringy for everyone involved, I think.

SPEAKER_01 25:34

Yeah, I agree. I agree, and I'm quite sure that Taylor Swift and uh the Taylor Swift fans do not like this um situation right now either.

SPEAKER_00 25:43

So but I we all feel like I'm so I would if they leaked text between like me and my friends or whatever, it would not be good for anyone. So yeah.

Representation, Puerto Rico, And Music Debate

SPEAKER_01 25:55

Yeah, I hear you, I hear you. Well, um, my last topic, and this one is is pretty disturbing, and being that you're a comedian, Meryl, I would love to get your thoughts on this. Um, but in December 2024, outside of Hollywood Improv Comedy Club, Corey Holcomb, which is a very popular uh comedian, um allegedly decks or hits Christina Payne, who's also a very popular comedian as well. Um, the video just surfaced on social media, uh, and it was put out by the Buzzy. So to kind of give some backstory to this, um I guess after a show, whatever, sometimes the comedians they kind of roast each other outside, you know, kind of go back and forth, you know, playful, it's no big deal. And for whatever reason, uh Corey Holcomb and Christina Payne got into some kind of heated discussion. Um it's still not clear what what made it heated, what they were talking about, but Christina uh alleged that Corey Holcomb punched her, and they went to court, you know, he testified, he's like, no, I didn't do anything, you know, she hit me, et cetera, et cetera. She put a restraining order on him, he put a restraining order on her. But then I guess after um this court date, that's when this tape leaked out a year later. So now it's like again, you don't know what's being said, but you can clearly see that they're they're going back and forth, and then Corey Holcomb steps up and hits her in the face. Um this is wrong on so many levels. I don't care what the conversation was, um there was no reason to put your hands up. There's never reason to do that. Um, and also, too, to kind of uh follow up with that, um Christina Payne says that um comedian Horror uh Holcomb has been threatening her and making her fear for her life. Oh my god. Um, there's a lot going on in this story right now, Meryl, but uh I would love to get your thoughts on this.

SPEAKER_00 28:24

I mean, I just think it's terrible. And you're right, like usually a lot of times people do after comedy shows, or they'll hang out at the comedy store or at the improv or at you know different places. Like that's something I love so much. It's usually really nice, and I feel like usually there's like a camaraderie, and people are just hanging out and like you know, talking whatever, smack on each other, but in a funny way, and just like meeting fans and saying hi. Um, so this is just so weird. And usually there's like a lot of non-comedians hanging out too. People are just there visiting from out of town or wanting to say hi, or they're just out for like a night for themselves. Um, and I I think I mean this is terrible. And it's that kind of thing that I feel like if someone is on record being violent once, there's probably a chance that this is happening a lot behind closed doors, or this is not the first time. If some if someone is able to like punch someone out in the world in front of everyone, I can just imagine what's happening like behind the recording. Um, so I just think this is terrible, and I feel really bad. And especially since she said that he was bothering her like for a while and just has a history of it. It's just terrible. And you know, we were just talking about an actress like Jumila Jumil being canceled for stuff, and it's like this is a real offense where someone needs does need to get canceled and like have their be talked about and have it known that they're like this.

SPEAKER_01 29:46

Yeah, that's true. And you know, again, I I don't know, you know, if if there was something he didn't like that was said, you know, Corey Corey Holcomb um does get a lot of heat for a lot of his comedy because um a lot of women feel it's very offensive, um, you know, it's very disrespectful. Um, but you know, comedy is one of those things where you know, a lot of good comedians kind of straggle that line, uh, as they say.

SPEAKER_02 30:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:17

And um I know there was a video that, and it's an old video that him and um and um Tiffany Hatish put out. Um that was the uh to me a very disturbing video. Um really? I didn't see that. Yeah, he he's not, you know, he's not a stranger to controversy, but uh I I think it's one thing to tell jokes and and this and that. It's another thing to put your hands on someone.

SPEAKER_00 30:49

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. And I just think that I mean, like the fact that it's a it's a woman, of course, that that's even crazier, but just any sort of punching and violence, I feel like that's a clear sign that like that person needs an intervention and help, probably, because they're probably dealing with a lot of demons in one way or another, whether it's like addiction or anger issues or you know, whatever. So um, I mean, I know if I was like a club uh club owner, I probably wouldn't book that person for fear of just what they would do.

SPEAKER_01 31:20

And you know, like I said, you know, allegedly, you know, he went to court and testified that he didn't touch her. Now, here's a question that I would love to find out from from legal advocates is does this open the door to perjury on his side? Because he testified allegedly that he did not hit her.

SPEAKER_02 31:39

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:41

Honestly, I think yes. You know, because of the fact that they could prove you lied. I mean, what what do you think, man?

Orlando High School Full Scholarships

SPEAKER_00 31:55

I think a hundred percent, I think it should be counted as that, absolutely. Just the same way that we talked about last week about having video footage of certain events and being gaslit about it, whether it happened or not. It's like there's nothing I love more than just footage of it of things actually happening that it's like indisputable.

SPEAKER_01 32:16

That's true, that's true. So we'll see if anything else comes out of this, but um, yeah, I I would say that uh Corey probably needs to make sure he keeps his uh attorney on retainer right now. Yep. Well, that was a lot in that episode. Well, speaking of fun, Merrill, what do you have coming up?

SPEAKER_00 32:42

Well, uh first off, at my comedy shows, you can guarantee that if you catch me outside after, I'll I'll be hugging people and high-fiving people. There'll be no maybe I'll punch myself in the head after some of my sets, but other than that, uh it the very the people that I hang out with too are all very nice and very lovey dummies. So um, if you come to any of my shows, you'll be safe. Uh, I'm gonna promote a really fun one I have coming up Friday, February 13th. Um, it's like a Galantine show. So me and two other two or three other female comics in Santa Barbara. Um, so it's at a winery in Santa Barbara called La Leaf in Santa Barbara. So it's at a winery, female comics that are funny, and it'll be really fun. It's a nice vibe. Um, and if anyone's around the Santa Barbara area, just come on out.

SPEAKER_01 33:33

Sounds like a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_00 33:35

It should be really fun. The worst we'll be doing is drinking a glass of wine and like crying about our exes or something. So that's as violent as I get.

SPEAKER_01 33:47
