SPEAKER_01:

Ready?

SPEAKER_00:

Ready. Hey everyone. Welcome back to the latest episode of Snitchin. It's your host, Kristen.

SPEAKER_01:

And Britney, get ready for the best part of your day.

SPEAKER_00:

We're back with another week. Britt, how was the rest of the trip in Charleston?

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, it was awesome. I just love it there so much. I love Charleston. It was beautiful. The weather was beautiful. It was amazing. Trying to think of what we did. We did the tour. That was good. The carriage ride. Definitely recommend that for people that go to Charleston. That's like the big, the big thing to do. It's like the duck boats in Boston, which I've never done, but neither here nor there. Um, we went to this wicked good. I wonder if you've ever been there or heard of it. It's called Sorel. We went there for brunch. It was wicked good.

SPEAKER_00:

I've never heard of it.

SPEAKER_01:

Um, yeah, it was awesome. And then my like favorite thing, I'm still my subconscious keeps bringing it back to me. Sammy and I on Saturday morning just like went around. We were just shopping. We went in that big market they have, which is also awesome. Um, and we just stumbled upon this bookstore. And obviously, we're both book girls. So we went in, and they also had all this Taylor stuff: Taylor shirts, Taylor stickers, Taylor pens. I got two pens. I got lights, camera, bitch, smile, and I hate it here. I love it. I got a bunch of stickers. I got a sticker that said it says the life of a book girl, like in the same font as the life of a show girl. And yeah, I like basically was like, I died and went to have it there. I think we spent like 45 minutes, and now I want to live there in the bookstore forever. I love the pens you got. Great choices. I know the other stuff's not here, but yeah, and it was like so fun. We were like talking to all the girls that like about books because obviously they like books and are like around our age, and I just didn't want to leave. See, I mean I were like, Can we franchise this? What was the name of it? Sweeter than Fiction, which is actually a very deep-cut Taylor song. That's a cute name for a bookstore. Yeah. I didn't even think of it until like an hour later after we left. I was like, Oh my god, that's a s that's a Taylor song. But she didn't even re-record it. So it's like a I think it was for a movie.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I barely know that song.

SPEAKER_01:

I don't either really. But yeah, I was like, if I lived here, I would definitely want to work here. I'd probably work here for free. If only they had cats, then I really wouldn't have left. Then that's the that's yeah, a double whammy. But I feel like I'm still like, I don't know about you, but I feel like I'm I still live in this mindset of like, I'm not used to everyone loving Taylor so much and they're being like Taylor shit to buy everywhere. So I'm like, whenever I see something Taylor, I'm like, I need to buy that. I need to buy that, I need to buy that. And but now they're like everywhere, so I need to kind of tame that mentality, but it is so fun. I'm like, oh, it's fun. They were playing life with Showgirls start to finish. It was awesome. Very nice. And then travel yesterday was good. Yeah, it was fine, it was a little long. Um, but it was good. I missed the Pats game, but it seemed like it was a good one.

SPEAKER_00:

It was a good one, but yeah, my weekend was good too. It was pretty busy. I was over at Michelle's on Friday night. She made a great dinner per usual. She was like steak and rice, and um might be the November recipe. Oh, yeah. So applauds for that. Yeah, and then I actually ended up going to the Boston College Yukon football game on Saturday, and that was beautiful weather. I hadn't been to BC and I mean that's Brittany's alma mater. I hadn't been there in maybe five years. I don't know how long it's been. But nice. And then yesterday went to my parents' house, yeah, to watch the Patriots game. But I will say, this is something I'm struggling with a little bit. Like I've said it on the pod, I think before. I've been kind of on like a weight loss journey for the past couple of years. And September really like got pretty strict to hit my weight loss goal of 50 pounds down in two years, just like diet and exercise. And I hit it, which I was so excited about. Like I was so happy, so proud of myself. But here's the thing I don't want to get like too crazy about the number, but I feel like the past like two to three weekends, like I was at Penn State last weekend, this weekend, like just wasn't paying attention or like monitoring what I was eating or drinking. And then I woke up this morning and I just like felt floated, felt kind of whatever. And then I looked at the scale, it was like up like four pounds, which I know is probably just like it's I I mean, I know enough now paying attention to this, like it's water weight or whatever.

SPEAKER_01:

Like there's always, yeah. Yeah, I feel like you're playing a dangerous game there. I know. Well, that's but that's not true. I would stop weighing yourself, you think? Yeah. And just go by like how your clothes fit and how you feel. Like now that you're down to your weight, I don't know. Personally, I can't be one, I can't weigh myself very often. I like never weigh myself because yeah, I don't want to become like obsessed with it. I know because I know that like any, you know, you can be four pounds heavier, like before you get your period or whatever. Like within five pounds, I feel like thing there can always be like a swing.

SPEAKER_00:

It's all just a balancing act. Like when I'm being very strict, like I kill it and I feel so good. So it's just like when I'm not being in like a very strict mindset, I think it's that piece that I still need to figure out because I don't want to get, I don't want to get like down on myself.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, you're I feel like you're just transitioning into your like maintenance phase. Like you've lost the weight now. Now it's just about maintaining and being able to like live your life. Like, I don't is like the being really strict, is that sustainable?

SPEAKER_00:

I that's the thing. But yeah, it's just like I think I need to find a way to feel like good when I'm not being super strict. So yeah, you know, that's how I woke up this morning and we're showing up as our authentic selves, and I was like, I'm just feeling a little bummed out about that today. But it'll it'll get a good sweat in. Get a good sweat in. I have a c yep, I have a strength training class this afternoon, and we're just gonna get back on the horse and have a great week and have a great day. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Um, I mean, that is kind of a Monday feeling, but okay, what question? What would you say? Because like my mom and Kelly and stuff were asking me, like how much weight you lost. I was like, I don't know. And yeah, like what was like the main thing you did? Was it like just walking more? Like, what would you attribute the main thing?

SPEAKER_00:

Well, it took me two years. So the first when I started at my heaviest, it was every day walking 10,000 steps a day. It was a non-negotiable. I didn't miss for like, I mean, I might have missed like maybe once a month. I would miss. Yeah. But like pretty much 95% of the time, 10,000 steps a day. And then during that initial phase, I didn't drink for eight months. Like I'd say that was like the first 20, 20, 20 to 25 pounds. And then when I was traveling, I wasn't, you know, I just didn't think about it because I was already on the move so much and I was like moving my body so much.

SPEAKER_01:

Probably eating better food too from other countries. 1000%.

SPEAKER_00:

1000% eating better food, not as much chemicals. Also, like just wasn't drinking as much because I was solo. So like I mean, I was drinking, but like only when I was with my like groups of people. And even then, like, you know, just want to keep your wits about you. So so yeah, so I feel like I kind of maintained. And then when I got home in May, that's when I really revved it up, where I was like, okay, for the rest of the summer, I'm gonna really send it. So now I walk like 13,000 steps a day and I strength train twice a week and I play tennis twice a week. So like my activity level is just much higher. I will say, like, with the strength training coach I have, like part of the reason why I feel like I do kind of need to weigh myself. I don't need to, like they wouldn't care. It's not like them making me do it. But they the the gym I go to, it's like a small group training. They have you weigh yourself once a week and like you track it on the app and all that. Um, but he really helped me just get better with like my diet. I would say the biggest, I would say the biggest thing, I eat much more protein than I ever used to. And I pay attention to my protein intake, which I never used to do. Yeah. So that's protein powder. Do you do protein? Yeah, I have protein powder. So normally in the morning I'll have like my protein powder with a banana and I put ice in it and it like makes a little like smoothie. What kind do you use?

SPEAKER_01:

Uh Sammy told me it. I don't know the name of it. It's like a plant-based one, but it's really good.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, mine has a green top. That's all I know about it.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, same.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, bread. We're using the same protein powder. Yeah, it's vanilla. It's good. Yeah, I like the vanilla. I just started, um, I just tried the peanut butter chocolate. And then, like with the banana, it tastes really good. And then I also do um have protein bars. Michelle just showed me one. It was like the legit best protein bar I've ever had. Barbells. Really? Oh, Chris likes those. Oh my god. It tasted like a candy bar.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_00:

Love that. I so I think I'm gonna try to get those because right now I have like the quest ones, or normally what I'll have.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh yeah. I like those too. It's crazy how like I feel like food in is getting just like more advanced.

SPEAKER_00:

I know. Like making healthy things taste better. Well, I don't think, did I ever tell you? I saw this um interview about the inventor of the David Bar. And it was pretty interesting. It was like this guy who worked in trucking. He looked in he worked in trucking logistics. And so he started to get into CrossFit. And he noticed that like at his CrossFit gym, protein bars weren't selling because they weren't paleo friendly. And like that was what was really big at the time, which I don't really remember exactly what paleo was. I feel like it was like low carbs. It's just like it's like clean eating, clean eating, okay, yeah. Yeah. Him and a friend. So they noticed that the protein bars at CrossFit weren't selling because they weren't paleo friendly. So they got together, him and his buddy each put like$5,000 in and they legit worked out of a basement. Wow. Yeah. And they made the RX bar. So that was their first bar.

SPEAKER_01:

And it had remember those.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. And it had 12 grams of protein. So like it started to sell more, whatever. And then he he got on a mission to create like the lowest or like the highest ratio of protein to calorie. You know what I'm saying? Like the lowest calorie, highest protein bar. And that's where he got the David bar.

SPEAKER_01:

Wow. That is interesting. Very cool.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Anywho. Well, nice. But I'm already feeling better now that we talked about it. You know what? I'm already feeling better. And yeah. This is something everyone goes through when they're going through weight loss journey. There's gonna be peaks and valleys, people.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, it's just how how can you like maintain, like, you know, be happy and live your life, but also stay in line. It's the ultimate quest of humanity. Balance.

SPEAKER_00:

Balance, baby. Well, I feel like this has also been the first time in a little while where I've been feeling kind of down about it. So I just, it was like hitting me harder than normal, I feel. But you know, yeah, it's all about balance. We're gonna get back to it. It's gonna be a great week. Um, and we should start by talking about the Patriots because we are just like cruising. I am so excited about this team.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, me too. I feel like all of a sudden they're like, good, are they really first in the AFC East? Yes. Socket pills. That makes me so happy.

SPEAKER_00:

If you had told us at the beginning of this season, week one, that we were gonna be number one in our division, I would have been like, yeah, right. There's no way.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, no, no. The last few games have been good. I didn't get to see it because I was on the plane. But yeah, I'm happy for them.

SPEAKER_00:

Happy for Coach Vrabel. I love this man. They played in Tennessee, that's his old team. He was a head coach there. They fired him in 20 at the end of the 20, I think, 24 season or 2023. So yeah, so got to go back and get a big win. I will say, you know what's weird though, watching them this like with Drake May, because it feels like Drake May is really coming into his own. With Brady, Brady was not a quarterback that would scramble, he would not run for yardage, like he would throw it away. Yeah, yeah. We are not used to players, to quarterbacks that do that. Yeah, no. He is running everywhere, and there was one point in the game where he was taken out for maybe two plays for what seemed like concussion protocol because he got hit. Yes, like whiplashed his head back into the ground. You know, when he got up, he seemed a little disoriented. So all of us were like, you know, holding your breath. Yeah, please, please, please, no. And after that, we were like, take like at the fourth quarter when we knew we were gonna win, we were like, take him out. Like, I can't we cannot have this boy get hurt.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah. And concussion's scary.

SPEAKER_00:

I know. So I don't know how I feel about that. I like that he's running, I like that he's making plays, but there's part of me that's just like, okay, be smart.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, don't take it too far. Yeah. Did you see he went to uh it was like Severian? It was a high school football game, I think Friday night. Yeah, he went to Severian. I know. And it was like the first quarterback in like 20 years to go to like a high school team game or something like that.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh my god. I love that. Well, also apparently in that game yesterday, he broke uh a record of Brady's already. He really, yes, it was halfway. It's not like that. I don't think that there we go. The record that he broke was highest completion percentage for a game. I think he had like 21 out of 23 completions. It was something super high. Isn't that crazy?

SPEAKER_01:

Wow, that is, but I guess that kind of makes more sense. Like that, like if it's a percentage, like Brady throws more, so like he'd have to get more completes to get a higher percentage.

SPEAKER_00:

So like that's a good point. We should see like how many throws there were in like Brady's highest completion game versus like Drake May's. Yeah, yeah, you know, but still, I mean, impressive. What 21 out of I think it was like he's in the 80s or something. Um, no, 91%. That's what it was. 91% completion. Oh, that's insane. That is crazy. The other thing I feel like I noticed was that Patriots didn't have a single flag in the entire first half. Really? Yeah, they didn't have a single flag in the first half. They they came out, I think they ended up having like only two or three the whole game. Isn't that amazing? Yeah, I love that. I mean, it seems like they're really rallying together as a team. It is fun. Me and my dad were saying that it is fun to have a team that we like believe in again.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah. I know. I feel like I don't want to go like too far because I mean, they're probably not gonna win the Super Bowl, but even just making it the playoffs.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, I I'm like fully convinced that they are definitely, I mean, knock on wood, but I would be more surprised, I think, at this point with their momentum if they don't make the playoffs than if they do.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah. I feel like the next like two games will be crucial. See if they can keep up that momentum.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, but the only other thing I was gonna say is that I feel like there's two players on the Pats. I wanted to tell you that they were like childhood best friends. I I feel like I know. I'm gonna have to figure it out. I should have written it down, I didn't. Um, but can you imagine being on a team with your childhood best friend that you played football with? Like that'd be like a sudden happen.

SPEAKER_01:

Truly. Are they from here? Oh, hold on. I've got to- I mean, they can't be from here.

SPEAKER_00:

That would be like way too much of a Patriots childhood friends. You know what? We'll come back to it on Wednesda or Wednesday or Friday. Oh, but last we should also wrap up from Friday's episode. We did talk about um the movie being filmed filmed down at the marina. I did go, yeah. I took a walk down there, and it was cool. It was cool to see all of the trucks and everything. I did, you know, I went down, I was aloof, I was acting cool. I had my headphones in. I was, you know, no one's bothering me and totally didn't see anybody. But I did walk down there and see it. So hopefully they're back up and running again this week, and maybe I'll have another update, but nothing, nothing substantial. Just wanted to put a bow on that.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I uh feel like I wouldn't be surprised if they don't do as much in the the weekend.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, yeah. Anywho, the only really um story story we have, and then I know Britt, you had a really interesting tailor theory, so we're gonna talk about that, and then we'll do a snitch session. Um, is a one direction update. We love 1D, we love our boy bands. The 1D um music videos and performances were heavy in the rotation of YouTube videos that we used to watch.

unknown:

Yes.

SPEAKER_00:

And Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson are teaming up for a three-part US road trip documentary. They're promising reconnection and laughter. They announced a couple of weeks ago that they're gonna join forces for that three-part Netflix series. It's basically them two embarking on a road trip across America in a spontaneous adventure of reconnection, exploration, and a lot of laughter. Uh, I'm pretty excited about this.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm pretty surprised. I feel like Zayn was like, peace, one D. I never want to see you guys ever again. That's what I thought too. I always thought he just like hated it and was never gonna go back.

SPEAKER_00:

But you know what? I think probably Liam um Liam Payne's passing brought them together. I feel like I've seen a lot of headlines that all the boys have kind of reconnected and like been there to they've always supported, but that's true.

SPEAKER_01:

That's true. Maybe he realizes he's not that cool. Um, I wish Niall was in it.

SPEAKER_00:

I know. Same. Well, I guess they did say when they were teasing it that that Louis and Zayn were actually like two of the closest at the time that Zayn left, which is Louis kind of took it harder than the rest. And Louis said that, you know, the night that he decided to leave, he was cool. He wasn't in a bad mood or anything like that. He said goodnight, lad. And the next morning, Louis woke up, they had to shoot for Coca-Cola or some sponsor, and they found out that he wasn't coming. So it was like that quick overnight that Zane at least. Yeah. Wow. I know. It's kind of bad. I know. They said that they're gonna address a lot of that, which they don't really talk about too often. So I think that I feel like if you were a 1D fan, if you were really in the thick of it, I mean we we came late to the game, yeah. But not only only slightly late. Only slightly late. But if you were like, this must be your Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean, I'll probably watch it.

SPEAKER_00:

I think I'll watch it too.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah. I miss 1D. I like had on my like, I don't know, it was like one of those split playlists that Spotify makes for you, obviously, before Life of Showgirl came out. And Drag Me Down came in, came on in the car, and I was fucking jamming. That's the best video. I love Drag Me. Oh, and Steal My Girl so hard.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, I forgot about Drag Me Down.

SPEAKER_01:

Same. And it came on.

SPEAKER_00:

I was like, oh shit, this is a jam. Wow. Yeah, that was such a great song. Oh, Steal My Girl, I think is probably my favorite 1D video.

SPEAKER_01:

That was I love that one too.

SPEAKER_00:

I think that was probably our most watched. I mean, night changes for sure, but just the performance, not I don't even remember the video really.

SPEAKER_01:

No, 2014 AMA's performance, or maybe 2015. I don't know. One of those two. If you know, you know. Uh, we also liked you and I.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, yeah, you and I, right. Yep. That was solid. Oh, and um, you know what song I always like too? Story of my life.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, I love Story of My Life. That's a great one. Or like 18. No video for 18, but and fireproof, those are like two of my favorites.

SPEAKER_00:

Brittany! Yeah, I know. Wendy's good. Whoa, whoa. I have for I forgot about 18. Wow. Are you gonna have to listen to that after this? I know that one. Absolutely listening to that after this. Oh, I cannot believe I forgot about that song. That was like my favorite one.

SPEAKER_01:

I feel like Ed Sheeran produced that or something. It sounds like an Ed Sheeran song.

SPEAKER_00:

It's such a jam. Ed Sheeran wrote a lot for 1D. So I I think you're right with that. Um, dang, wow, what a throwback. Okay, absolutely listening to that. Yeah, I'm ex I'm excited about this. It's gonna be, I hope I do hope that maybe Harry or Niall. I mean, Harry's out here just like running marathons in record time. I mean, I mean, that's like what he's doing. What?

SPEAKER_01:

Yes, Harry's running actual marathons.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, Harry was just he just ran um the Japan marathon or Tokyo or something, yeah. And he did it in like an insane time. He did it in like three hours, something that like marathon runner. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh my god. I mean, like he seems like he has, I guess, like the build, the body for it, but that's crazy.

SPEAKER_00:

I know, I know.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I get and you know what? I bet performing, like that's low-key similar to like running. Like you have to have really good stamina.

SPEAKER_00:

Totally. I mean, huge like cardio. I mean, Taylor always said that she walked the whole performance. Um, I feel like you told me about this Taylor theory like last week, but I haven't actually we haven't really talked about it.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay, yeah, we can do it quick. So I always listen to this podcast. It's called The Ringer Every Single Album, and they do Taylor Swift. It started out as like two people. So it's Nora Panziati, I think, who's like a journalist. She was actually, she's actually a football journalist, but she's like a huge Swifty. And then Nathan Hubbard, who like used to be like head of Ticketmaster. I don't know, they're both like credible people. Um, but they started out this podcast, which is why I started listening to it because they were like Taylor Swift is a legit artist, and we want to like show people that Taylor's a legit artist and not, you know, backlash some of the hate. Um, but now like again they're making them and they're like, oh, everyone loves Taylor. Like we don't, we don't even need to make our argument, but whatever. So yeah, so now like I'll still listen to it. I will they're they're like a little like they can be a little intellectual and like I don't know, they kind of shit all over the life of Showgirl, I'm not gonna lie. But at the end, he had this theory that 12 there are so there are 12 tracks on the album, obviously, and each one is like represents or like is related to uh an era. Age of the 12 eras. Yeah, because like and it makes sense. Well, they were like, I don't even know if she did it intentionally or not, like it might have been unintentional because she was just like living in the Eras Tour, and like that was like her reality at the time. Um, but yeah, do you want to like do it? Do you want to hear what they said? Yeah, some of them are a reach, some of them are, I think, are a reach. They said fate of Ophelia is um TTPD because it's like you know, Ophelia is obviously like the kind of where she left off. They said, what's next? Elizabeth Taylor. This one I feel like was kind of weak. They said folklore because like Elizabeth Taylor is like kind of similar to Rebecca. Oh, I could see that. Yeah. Opelite, they said they put as red because it's like a very cookie cutter, like it's like a standard Max Martin song, kind of, and that was when when she's first started working with him.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I would have guessed that Opalite's 1989 because it's like literally and glittery and fun and upbeat. So how about like um canceled?

SPEAKER_01:

I would say cancels as rap. Yeah, yeah. Also, the girl, like this kind of annoyed me. She's like, I can't get this out of my head now. She said canceled is like if chat GPT did rep. And I was like, Oh, that's so true.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, chat GPT did rep. Oh. What what does she mean by that? Like that, it's just like it's kind of basic, I guess.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, I wouldn't have thought of that, but okay. Um, I see it. I see it. What about oh, ruin the friendship?

SPEAKER_00:

Ruin the friendship. I'm gonna go either speak now or fearless. I'm gonna say I'm gonna say fearless.

SPEAKER_01:

So they said, and I actually agree that it that's debut. That's why she has that song on the album.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01:

All right. That made me like, I was like, oh, because I have kind of wondered about that song. What else? Eldest Daughter, I forget which one that was.

SPEAKER_00:

Eldest Daughter, I would say, see, Eldest Daughter to me would feel like speak now, kind of maybe speak now.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, you know what? I feel like Eldest Daughter to me is like Red because it's the most emotional. Red in some ways feels like one of the her most emotional albums.

SPEAKER_01:

They oh, he said right where you left, or sorry, evermore, because like I guess the the melody is like they kind of took it from right where you left me, that song.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah. They were also drawing a lot of comparisons between like her melodies and like other other songs that existed, which and there's a lot. I'll say that. Interesting. Um what else? What else? Oh, father figure? What do you think father figure is?

SPEAKER_00:

I would say father figure, maybe gosh. Um, maybe midnights, or yeah, we could say it'd be midnights. Because it's about like her mentors as a whole and her being a mentor. I feel like by midnights she was kind of you know doing her own thing, re-recording. It was Aristor. So I guess I'm gonna go with that.

SPEAKER_01:

They said it was um lover, because it's like a different rendition of the man.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, okay. So they're really drawing like songs to song comparisons.

SPEAKER_01:

Uh yeah, for the most part, I think.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, yeah, because it's like the evermore comparisons to the song Right Where You Left Me. Um TTPD's not. T T PD's not, yeah. I feel like that's a little different because like I could find songs I think that you could relate to each song probably. But I think of when you asked, like when you brought up the concept, I was thinking more of like the theme of the album as a whole. You know what I mean? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

I know. That's kind of how I wish I could like remember what my first thoughts were when I heard it, because now that I've like heard what they say, it's hard to get out of my head.

SPEAKER_00:

Sure.

SPEAKER_01:

Um, but yeah, a lot of them, like I'll tell you, like wishlists, they said was midnights because like it sounds a lot like glitch. That's on glitch.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, see, okay, wishlist to me is lover. Yeah, I could see that. I think that might be the weakest comparison because glitch is kind of like I feel like glitch is almost about something kind of unraveling, right? Like there's been a glitch, or is it I think it's like the melody, the sound. Interesting. Okay, I mean, I don't agree on that one, but yeah, interesting. Oh, wood. Would um wood's really fun. I could see them doing 1989 for wood because it's just like a fun such a fun one. I would say I mean, I feel like mine have been taken now. So maybe, I mean, maybe I would do this. Isn't right though. I was gonna say fearless, that but that's not right.

SPEAKER_01:

No, no, they said 1989. I agree with you. I kind of felt like Opalite was 1989, but yeah. Well, I oh well, I guess it has like the melody, it has part of Shake It Off in it and part of Blank Space.

SPEAKER_00:

Hmm. Okay. Yeah. Well, I mean, I could see why the comparison would be wood for 19. Like, there doesn't really feel like if I had a clean slate and hadn't picked any other albums, I feel like wood I would probably do. I mean, yeah, 199 or or honestly, maybe a midnights.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I could see midnights as wood. Then what do we have left? I think it's just speak now and fearless.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, speak now and fearless.

SPEAKER_01:

And it's actually romantic and honey. Oh, oh, and life of a showgirl is life of a showgirl.

SPEAKER_00:

I would say actually romantic is probably well, you know, one of my um flaws as a Swifty is I consistently mix up the songs that are on Fearless and Speak Now. So whichever album I think it's Speak Now has better than revenge. Yeah. That's what I'm gonna go Actually Romantic. That's what they picked. Oh, all right. Caroline.

SPEAKER_01:

I know, and that one, like at first I was like, hmm, but then they they were like, Speak Now is like low-key, like her most vicious album in a lot of ways. Like better than revenge, vicious, dear John, vicious better than revenge is vicious, yeah. So, and just like actually romantic. So I was like, I kind of love that. And then he said honey is fearless because it's yellow and it sounds like like a stripped-down version could have been on fearless, which I was like, yeah, I kind of see that.

SPEAKER_00:

I could see it. Honey, I mean, yeah, I totally see honey for for fearless. I agree with you.

SPEAKER_01:

But you could say honey is the one, the one, like it has the same intro as the one.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, that's an interesting take, too. I mean, if I hadn't had any picked, I think honey would go also to Lover.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah. I feel like I'm I see I'm thinking of it more how you are thinking of it, like the just like the vibe of the album.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. I mean, I I think all of the choices and the the reasons behind are interesting. The only one I just yeah, don't agree with is the glitch one. But and I don't know, I'd have to listen to right where you left me.

SPEAKER_01:

I know it's good when you listen to it because they play them back to back and you're like, oh yeah, wow. Yeah. Like you can really hear them. Um, like they played that, like, you know, the uh Jonas Brothers cool songs. That sounds exactly like Life of a Showgirl. Interesting. Well, they were giving her shit because she like went on and on about the George Michaels thing, like father figure, and how she's like giving them royalties, blah blah blah. Yeah, but there are like at least three other songs credited on the album that like she didn't even say.

SPEAKER_00:

And that's a slight hypocritical thing. I feel like there was a lot of conversation about her giving Olivia Rodrigo a really hard time about that. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, Taylor.

SPEAKER_01:

Gotta watch that. Yeah. Um, but yeah, those were the most like interesting. And they compared a lot of them to like, oh, like they said I can see you. Remember, I was like, I feel like Fate of Ophelia has I can see you vibes, and that was like another one that had the same like melody or something.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know if I think that that is like a true theory, but I like I I mean I wouldn't be, you know, surprised if she did do something like that. Like that's so something she would do, and it's fun to think about.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I agree. But and but I could also just as easily see it being like not really intentional. Totally, totally because it's pretty it's loose, it's not exact, but yeah, it's interesting. They gave the album a B.

unknown:

Hmm.

SPEAKER_00:

I mean, I will say I still love the album, still a fan, but it has fallen in terms of like like there's now I already know the songs that I'm listening to regularly, and like there's more that are I kind of skip over now.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah. I I feel like the one thing I'll say is like Life is Showgirl, I feel like. After the third time listening, it like I felt like I knew all the words. But like TPT T T B D. I feel like it took me like months to learn the words.

SPEAKER_00:

1000%. I could not agree more. Um, but yeah, should we wrap up with our snitch sesh? Let's do it. So we have a snitch session. We're so excited. Uh, this one is talking about like family boundaries, basically, in-laws, or in this case, um, yeah, in-laws. So here it is. Um, dear snitches, my husband comes from a very close-knit family, and I love that about them. The issue is that his mom has a habit of making decisions for us without asking first. For example, she'll invite family over without checking with us first, or she'll book a family vacation for all of us and then expect us to pay for our part. My husband is so used to it that he just goes along with it and he thinks it's no big deal. When I try to set a boundary, like saying we need a heads up before she invites people over, he gets upset and says I'm disrespecting his mother. I feel caught between respecting my mother-in-law and establishing our own family unit. How can I get my husband to understand that setting boundaries isn't about disrespect, but about having a healthy, independent marriage? What a doozy. I'm so sorry to this person.

SPEAKER_01:

That sounds like a terrible problem to be in. Terrible. Like, books a family vacation and expects you to pay? What if I wanted to go somewhere else and pay that money? Or what if I want to buy something else or do a home renovation? Like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_00:

I've never even heard of that before of someone like booking a vacation without getting in or whatever. That seems that definitely seems aggressive.

SPEAKER_01:

What's hard about it is that like her husband doesn't agree, like gets defensive about it.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Um, but I would say honestly, like talk about your it sounds bad, but like talk about your own family's flaws more, get like make that more of a conversation. So then he's like more willing to talk about his family's flaws and stuff like that. You definitely need to be united. You definitely need to be united.

SPEAKER_00:

Agreed. I think it's like you gotta really like talk to your husband. She might not even know that it's an issue, like that she. But I don't know. Like, this is totally out of my wheelhouse. I've never dealt with in-laws before, so I really don't know what I would do here. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

My other advice would be to maybe say, like, talk about it like with your or his friends, because they're like, I feel like with your family, like you get so used to how your own family works and you forget that like not everyone is like that. So like it would probably be good for him to feel like or like to hear it from other people outside your relationship. Like, oh, that would bother me if like my in-laws were just coming over and inviting people over without telling me, you know. Yes, that might help build your credibility too. Good luck. Oh, I feel for your I feel like in-law problems are like the worst.

SPEAKER_00:

It's just weird how you could have the best in-laws in the world, they could be the best people, but it's still just a different family, different traditions, norms, things that they do, dynamics, like literally could be priorities. Yes, you could hit the jackpot, but it's still there's things to work through with like every family. So, I mean, just know that, you know.

SPEAKER_01:

You're not alone, it's tough like getting into someone else's family. I mean, it's weird coming into my family too. But yeah, everyone's like that. So yeah, just remember that. And I would say, yeah, try to just not like prioritize being on the same page as your partner. Don't be accusatory and try to, you know, like admit your faults, your family's faults too, so that it's like you can kind of come to like a unified place.

SPEAKER_00:

Preach sister. Well, thanks everyone for listening in. That's all the time we have for today. We'll be back for a new episode on Wednesday with our friend Owen. We're gonna talk all things home buying, and then we'll be back on Friday.
