Dialing In with Brett
It’s sad, really. No one wants to start a podcast nowadays — so Brett stepped up. Dialing In with Brett is a dry-comedy show where comedian Brett Neustrom does what any curious (but lazy) person would do: cold calls people with his “hard-hitting” questions. Are all “boy moms” secretly in love with their sons? Do parking enforcement officers ever feel guilty? Do old people have sex in nursing homes? Brett’s got the questions. The guests have the answers. And you? I’m sure you probably have nothing better to do.
Critics are calling his unserious, light-hearted, and wildly dramatic interrogations a brilliant way to nourish the human psyche. (No critics have written in, but I’m sure they’d say something along those lines.)
New episodes drop every Thursday… Now, let’s dial the f*ck in.

Hi, this is Brad. I was dialing you in because I had a question. I there's no way. Hello. What a dick.
unknown:Yo, no.
SPEAKER_00:No one knows. Wicked episode out now. Kidding. Hey y'all. Welcome back to another episode of Dialing In with Brett. 22 episode. Everyone comment 22. Comment 22. I just, that's how I start doing every giveaway. Um, speaking of Kara from Spotify. Hey, hope you want, hope you like$21. Because it's coming your way here shortly once we get your Venmo information. So congrats to our lucky Kara with the C from Spotify, who won the big, big, big, big, big, big. One big. She won big uh with the$21. I'm excited to see what you buy with that. Um, but yeah, you guys, we are back with another another episode. This is the genuine episode. We're getting real as fuck. Um, because I'm like, why would I not? Because it's it's it's such an intimate group of us that it's like, let's just open up. Um, but before we do that, let's just have a little fun. Let's just have a little fun. I saw Wicked for Good this past week, which it better fucking be for good. I can't. Here's the thing. I am gonna be careful with my review of Wicked for Good. I genuinely like the movie. Movies do not need to be over two hours ever for any reason, so that's obviously one gripe I have about it. I think talking about wicked is tricky because some people would literally die for wicked, which I love. You guys have your passions, great. I don't think I need to be a part of that, and I think I'm allowed to like respectfully dislike something that maybe a lot of people like being wicked. And I do think the wicked press tour has gone on for 15 years. You can't look or breathe without seeing pink and green these days, where everyone's like, if you don't like it, then don't watch, then don't watch. I bitch, I can't even go to Duncan without getting a Glinda refresher in front of me. Like, I you can't you can't miss it. Um, so I did if you can't beat him, join him. So I did see it. It was good, it was good, and that's all I really have to say about the movie. I also like the sobbing, like I get it's like some of y'all have waited years for this. I love it. This is kind of your moment. Enjoy it. I don't think it's like a movie where it's like this is soul crushing, and again, it's like a beautiful representation of female friendship, which like act you know what? No, I think Alphabet, right? Yeah, yeah isn't a girl's girl, she's a bitch, and I know Gelinda in the first one was like, you know, like popular girl, like, oh yeah, fuck her. You stole her man, you stole her man, wicked witch, you flip it up, Madam Morrible, Madame Morable, flip it around, wicked witch, wicked MM to WW Wicked Witch. This is how I also feel about Taylor Swift. Where again, I know I have two major Swifties, and I also I have talked a lot of shit about Taylor Swift, and I'm done talking shit about Taylor Swift because I don't want to be the guy who's like Because you lost like 9,000 followers. Because I lost 9,000 followers. That's the only reason why I'm just doing damage control. No, but I do think it's annoying when it's like someone like someone who's like, I fucking hate her, and it's like, okay, well, I really like her music, so like now, okay. But I do think it's like if you are even like, oh, I didn't like this outfit, Taylor Swift for, you hate women. You're anti-women. I get like anti-women allegations any single time I say anything. I'm like, I just don't like her. I love women.
SPEAKER_02:I also know you know the VM Maze look that she I know exactly the lost all your followers.
SPEAKER_00:I'm allowed to say that. Like, what it's a bad outfit. I'm not gonna like back the blue for this mid-ass L Wood looking party city ass fit. Like, I'm not gonna. I'm sorry, that's where I draw the line and that's where I lose 9k. Normalize not liking the same thing as someone else, but also normalize not being so like openly aggressive with not liking things that people like. So that's why I'm trying to find a middle ground. But also, like, if I don't like something, that doesn't like I don't want you to not like something because I don't like something or I have an opinion of something. Like, please do not let my opinion of something change what you think of it. I'm also like mostly kidding 95% of the time. Like, I really don't lose sleep over Taylor Swift, I don't lose slip sleep over the Wicked movie. I mean, I see it fucking everywhere when I'm awake, but like the second I close my eyes, I'm not thinking about it. But then people like literally take that as like a personal attack. Where it's like, baby, you aren't a part of Wicked. You're not Glinda. I don't know why you're like acting like you wrote this shit. Anyway, the movie was alright, it was good, it was entertaining, but then again, keep it under two hours. Again, don't act like you produce the film when you just like are a fan. It's fine. I'm happy you're happy. Stop making it your entire personality thing. So I'll leave it at that.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, you saw Sabrina.
SPEAKER_00:I saw Sab wow. Wow.
SPEAKER_02:On closing night.
SPEAKER_00:On closing night, wow. She she is something. She is very, very, very talented, very entertaining. She's a girl I have zero bad things to say about.
SPEAKER_02:Wait, but you saw her one other time on this tour, right?
SPEAKER_00:Uh no, I saw her at Coachella where I was seated the entire time. Thanks. And she played espresso for the first time ever. Sitting on my big fucking fat ass at Coachella at the Coachella grounds while she's singing espresso ends up being like the biggest song ever. And I'm like, ah, I love it. Like listening to it in my car, like singing every single word as if I didn't sit down, seeing it live. Yeah. But yeah, love the girl. Zero bad things to say about her. She's perfect, she's talented. I also think the whole, like, she's ugly, she's like too horny. Like, why does she have to be like just because she's like a little blonde girl, why does she have to be like a Disney princess? Like, why can she not talk about sex? Also, like grow up, it's not for you. Why can she not make music that's for like adults? Like, why do people like expect her to like cater her lyrics to children? Just don't watch her, don't listen to her shit.
SPEAKER_02:And she arrested Miss Piggy.
SPEAKER_00:That shit pissed me off.
SPEAKER_02:I knew it would.
SPEAKER_00:Like, and it's crazy. Like, I've seen videos of so yeah, she the arrest, she arrested Miss Piggy, which I was like, it's gonna be fucking Olivia Rodrigo, it's gonna be crazy. Genuinely seeing any celebrity, I would have been like thrilled. What do you mean it's a fucking Muppet? And people commenting, like, wait, this is like low-key iconic. You weren't there, it was so severely underwhelming. I thought I was gonna see a huge A-list celebrity. I saw a fucking someone working like a costume.
SPEAKER_02:We kept joking that it we're like, what if it's Brett that gets arrested at the last show? People would be like sending him death threats.
SPEAKER_00:No, I said, like, why would Sabrina ask to arrest me? Well, actually, fair question now, because she arrested fucking Miss Piggy. But I was like, if I got asked to be arrested on night six of the last night of her tour, I would I would say no because I'm like, people would be fucking pissed. Honestly, you know what? People might have liked me more than Miss Higgy. A few people would have liked me more than oh my god, this is so iconic. No, it's not. No, it's not. I just wanted to see any celebrity. Genuinely any celeb. I would take a C-less celebrity. Fuck it. I would take Spence Maw. I don't care. Just show me someone I've fucking seen before. Show me a real human being. I would take a Spence Was Spence Ma swing. A Spence Mois spin over Miss Piggy. Um, I also want to briefly touch on the girl who keeps commenting about the framing on the social eclipse. There's one person who comments on every single social clip about like the framing, and it's like almost there, just a little bit more to the right. And we finally got it where we got the stamp of approval. It's like, okay, this is good enough. And we're like, yay. So thank you guys for holding us accountable.
SPEAKER_02:It was really funny because she didn't follow the page until the framing was correct. That's all.
SPEAKER_00:When we get the framing correct, I'll follow. But until then, I'm not gonna waste my follow on that. So, which is fair, honestly, don't until yeah, like until it's perfect, which it never will be. That's why we don't have followers. People are waiting until it's perfect. Um, should we get genuine? Um, segue into the genuine questions. I feel like I fuck around on this podcast a lot, even when I'm like quote unquote being serious, I'm obviously not. Um, and I also like have like a pretty like negative attitude seemingly towards everything, which is also a kind of a front, but also I'm like kind of jaded by life. I've gone through a lot, but also like not that much. But I feel like I have so much life experience, and like so many things have happened behind the scenes, and I've had to like grow a ton as a person and also like try to figure out who I am as a person, and on top of like people commenting on my shit, that's also like kind of fucks with me, but then kind of doesn't, and I feel like I'm at a good point. I don't know, I feel like it's been a long time a comment, but I feel really good and I'm in a good place, which will last two weeks. Um so for the meantime, let me answer questions.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, are you gay?
SPEAKER_00:Kind of. No, I really I never really talk about my sexuality at all online because I also think it's the least interesting thing about me. And when I came out, I came out because I would like go on TikTok live a lot and like every question was like, Are you gay? Are you gay? Are you gay? What's your sexuality? What are you gay? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I just wouldn't respond to it because I'm like, I don't owe you guys any explanation on anything. But then it got to a point where I'm like, it's like harder to like avoid this topic than address it, and so that I addressed it, which I came out as by, which if you come out as by, no one believes you, and then continues to still not believe you, which is fine. Um, but it's genuinely like the term that I feel like fits me. Also, I'm like, if I was gay, like fully gay, I would just be gay. I mean, we're already like hooking up with men. I don't, I would just commit to it. Um, but I also think it's a weird thing where I'm like, I don't feel like gay is like the proper term. It doesn't feel like it's like the right fit for me, but then also I'm like clearly not a trait man. But then if someone's like, Oh, you're gay, I'm not gonna be like, No, no, I'm not, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I like I like women too. I because I don't think it's like bad to be gay. I don't think that's like offensive to someone assume I'm gay. I also again am hooking up with men, so I'm like, I completely get why you would think that. But I also don't think it's worth like being like, well, no, I do, I still am attracted to women. It's I don't fucking know. And I don't need an answer, but then it's also like sometimes it's easier to have an answer, but because people want an answer, but I don't, I don't know. I fall somewhere in between. I just hate the like box that you're put in the second someone figure out figures out your sexuality, where I'm like, I feel like I've had really good conversations and connections with people, and then the second that like my sexuality comes up, it's like, bitch, if you don't fucking diva down gag queen, I'm gonna cunt on your horror. I don't know, it's just like why are you like pushing what you know about gay people onto me, and then I have to pretend to diva down when I don't feel like that is how I present. I don't like talking about my sexuality because I don't want you guys to talk about my sexuality. I want you to be like, oh my god, that's the funny guy, or like, oh, the guy with the mustache, sure. I don't want to be like, oh, that gay guy who, oh, the gay actor, the gay influencer, the gay. I don't like why do we have to attach people's sexuality to everything that they do? And that's why I feel like I'm so hesitant to talk about my sexuality, because I don't want to just like immediately be put in a box of like gay influencer, gay actor, gay, but it's like, oh, if I wasn't, then I'd just be an actor, I'd just be an influencer. So long answer short, kind of, I want it to be so far removed from my identity and not in a way where I'm internally homophobic, and I I'm proud of myself. I'm very okay with the fact that I like guys too, but I just don't want it to be a part of every conversation. So yeah.
SPEAKER_02:How did your family react to it?
SPEAKER_00:I'm kind of gay. My family was so great. I came out to my mom and brother, and then my mom just passed along the information to my dad and sister, which also is like kind of shitty, and I feel horrible about not really to my dad, but more so to my sister. But it's also it was such a thing where it's like it's so hard to come out, and I knew that my family would be so accepting, but it's also just like the hardest conversation to get to. Like, it's like, you know, when you like want to tell your crush you have feelings for them, it's like I literally physically can't do that. So that's why I had my mom just come out to me, yeah, to my dad and my sister for me.
SPEAKER_02:Next question: why did you start dialing in? And also, what tips do you have for beginner podcasters?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I'm like, I guess if you're just starting a podcast, I don't even know what advice I'd give you because it's just like we're so well off and set for life that it's just like, holy shit, I can't even imagine like being in like the um I started dialing in because why did I? Why are we doing this? Let's cut this and let's get fucking brunch. No, I started dialing in. I've always kind of wanted to have a podcast, and I also think with my content online, there is a specific type of content that people like, and I feel like I'm kind of not like limited to that. I'm not gonna post shit that people like don't necessarily like. And I know people on Instagram fall and TikTok follow me for like my very like sketch-heavy character videos, which those are the videos that like do well, and I will happily continue to make them and I enjoy making them. But I feel like I just wanted like a different format, like a longer form to talk to y'all and kind of share more about myself. Um, and I really do enjoy doing this, and I think it's so much fun. And Holly and Bailey are so good at their jobs and make this so much fun, and it feels really like low stakes in a way that's good. And I think I have a lot of other projects going on. I am fortunate that I can continue to do this as like a passion project, and for those of you who listen, like genuinely it does like mean a lot, and it's also crazy because it's like you guys listen to me talk for like an hour every single week, which is crazy, and I don't think anyone like should have to do that. So I really appreciate you guys like willingly do that for zero dollars or an occasional$21 Venmo.
SPEAKER_02:But yeah, I but why where did the dialing in idea come from? Slash what do you like about that?
SPEAKER_00:I was gonna do it with one of my close friends, and then it ended just up like not working out, and I was like, okay, well, I will I don't really want to do a solo podcast that doesn't like have anything to it with love if you do that. I didn't try at all in high school or college, like I really did not give a shit about school or learning. And I think I'm at an age where I'm like, oh my god, we actually like really like learning. I love trying new things, I love like talking to people that I normally wouldn't talk to in a very controlled setting where I get asked the questions. Um, but I do think like I'm it is so cool to hear other people's experiences that I would never personally hear, and just like, oh my god, there's so many things about these jobs that I would never have guessed or assumed, and now I get to hear these people who probably work so much harder than me talk about their jobs and experiences, and I get to ask them dumb questions um instead of having to Google them because I won't actually Google it anything. So yeah, but if you're starting out a podcast, girl.
SPEAKER_02:And what are your what have you learned from like the logistics of starting a podcast?
SPEAKER_00:I mean, I've learned that everyone has a podcast, and it's a very, very, very hard industry to get into. But I I would say, like, don't start a podcast because you want it to be successful, even just like trying to like strategize how to push out content, what type of content, it's like a lot of work, and like starting anything new, even having a platform, has been very tough. Um, so I would just say, like, if you're gonna start a podcast, do it, but do it because you want to start a podcast and not because it's like I want to be famous, or like, I want no, like I also think if you're gonna start a podcast at this point, like make it fun, make it original, make it your own. So many people have podcasts, and it's also like a lot to expect someone to listen to you talk for 50 minutes every single week. I don't listen to any podcast. A lot of my best friends have podcasts, I don't listen to any of them, and I feel horrible about that. None of them listen to my podcasts. And one time when my friends said, like, a good friend doesn't listen to their other friends' podcasts. And honestly, I believe it.
SPEAKER_02:Like, do you ever get embarrassed telling people that you're an influencer? Yeah, have you ever used that word to describe yourself?
SPEAKER_00:I really try hard not to. I like feel like I have a weird relationship with being an influencer because like that's not really at all what I've ever wanted to do, and it sounds like so like lame, yeah, it just kind of happened. But like I've always wanted to be an actor, and I think that what I feel like I'm living someone's dream life, and I love my life. I'm so fucking privileged, I get to work with my best friends, which is so much fun. But I do think it is like a thing where it's like this doesn't feel like what I was made to do. Like it's I just am way more passionate about acting than I am about doing social media, and I think which I usually am like I do marketing. What kind of marketing? Oh, just for like digital marketing brand stuff. Like what? What do you do? Well, I make content for the brands. Okay, so like like when people like really ask them, like I'm yeah, I am a content creator, I do social media. But I think like people just group all influencers together, which is like so fair. If I heard someone was an influencer, I had no context, I'd be like, Oh, that's sweet, honey. Yeah, okay, cool, I love it. Um, but yeah, it is like a weird and then like what kind of content do you make? Like it's so embarrassing. I even just like have a hard time being like comedy, because I'm like, I don't know if you guys think it's funny. Like, I sometimes think it could be funny, maybe. And also when people are like, Oh, so you're like a comedian. I didn't say that. I literally never said that. You were I also think like stand-up comedians like truly want to shoot um content creators to make comedy style videos, so I don't I don't even like want to take space away from stand-up comedians. Um like I don't consider myself a comedian. I guess I like literally am an influencer, but I do think it just like has such a bad rep. And I also don't like fuck with most influencers. Like, I truly I think that's something super hard is watching other people and other influencers be like super fucking out of touch, or like I have such a hard time with clout chasing. Like, I I think that is so unattractive to me as a quality, and I'm so fucking painfully aware of like people posting someone that they met for two seconds on their story with a clear mention, or like just people moving in ways where I'm like, oh, I know you're this is ingenuine and you're just doing this to gain a following, to gain exposure. I don't fuck with that at all. Baby, I'm I promised me posting you on my story once won't get you anything. I lost 7,000 followers in a day. Like these fuckers don't care enough about like they don't care about you, they don't care about me, so why would they care? Like, I don't know. I just think that is the most unattractive trait ever, and I think it's very hard being in this industry and like going to events and brand trips, which are so fucking fun, and I'm so privileged and I'm so lucky. But it is like so jarring to be like there are so few normal people who do this. The fact that people are out of touch, they're not appreciative of it, like that is so unattractive to me. And I think it's hard seeing these qualities of people online that I see so clearly, and then like everyone's like, Oh my god, I love him. Wait, he's so sweet. Oh my god, she's such an angel. And it'll be like a girl who literally is like the meanest fucking girl I've ever met. I don't know, there's just so many weird dynamics in this industry, and it's so hard to like sit idly by when it's like, oh, you are like the meanest person, you are so shallow, and you're like getting so much praise online, and just have to kind of be okay with it, but you kind of just have to be okay with it, and bad people are gonna continue to win. And yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Brett, someone would like to know how we met. And they also asked for um your favorite memory with us, but you probably don't have any.
SPEAKER_00:My favorite memory with Holly is when she forgot my keys last night and I looked all over my house for an hour and missed my workout. Um, I met sorry, Bailey, cover your ears. I met Holly first. I went to a date party with this girl in college, and she was the president of the fraternity. Yes, she was the president of the sorority, and so she like randomly had so much to do, and I knew no one else. I was like, yeah, go, I totally get it, I totally get it. And then I'm like sitting by myself across from me sits Holly and her friend Anna, and so I had genuinely no one else to talk to. My last fucking resort. Sure. Hey Holly, hey girl, and then obviously we just immediately started talking about James Charles Assless Chaps look at Coachella, and it's just been fireworks since. And then Bailey. Well, Bailey and Holly have been best friends since birth, damn near. Um, and so kidding. But I always feel like it was just like I met Bailey the first time when I stayed with you guys in New York, right?
SPEAKER_03:No, I met you on my 21st birthday.
SPEAKER_00:Was it in Des Moines?
SPEAKER_03:My 22nd birthday. No, it was but then it was like brief. It was literally like uh hi, and then the next time I saw you, you were staying at my apartment.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it also was so weird with Holly and Bailey because it's like I met Holly once, and then it's like we got coffee one more time, and then it's like I moved to LA. Yeah, so it's like, oh, that was fun, and then I met Bailey when I came back in town, and again I was like, oh my god, holy shit.
SPEAKER_03:Hey you this is when Brett had bleach blonde hair, yeah, like unacceptable.
SPEAKER_00:Um, and then shortly after I it is like we really weren't like friends from college.
SPEAKER_02:No, no, but it's crazy. Like, first of all, it's really funny that you had asked to stay with us because it didn't at the time feel like crazy.
SPEAKER_00:But it is like I we hung out like twice in person.
SPEAKER_02:Who we might have just like like you would have unfollowed me on Instagram by now, probably.
SPEAKER_00:And yeah, I wanted to.
SPEAKER_03:Um but yeah, then I went and stayed with them, and we all just like had so much fun, and then we've always just been mind you, Brett's brother lives in New York, so I'm not sure why he stayed with us. I mean, I'm happy. I and we also only at the time had like a futon that was like falling apart. Brett didn't even fit on it, he was too long, and so probably the worst, most uncomfortable stay. Yeah, and then Brett stayed with us like three times in New York, and one time I let him sleep in my bed, but mind you, my bed was a twin, so it wasn't even like a more luxurious.
SPEAKER_00:And then our friend James also stayed with them. They had a one-bedroom flex in um New York, and so it he was on the couch, I was in Bailey's bed, and Holly and Bailey were sharing.
SPEAKER_02:Bailey was on an air mattress in my room that covered the entire surface of my floor. We had to like roll over each other to get to the bathroom, but it was perfect.
SPEAKER_00:There was one time, I don't remember, we all have this thing. Oh, we'll be talking about how we've all thrown up the last and then yeah, yeah. Um, so Bailey was had fallen ill, and four of us were in their one bedroom um apartment, and it was probably like two in the morning. I had to pee so bad. Bailey had been in the bathroom throwing up this entire time. And I was like, hey Bailey, I have to pee. And she's like had her head um just like kind of like falls to the side. I'm like peeing, and then I also took a shower, and she was just laying on the ground in the bathroom. I'm like gwashawing over her limp body. I had this like$90 serum that I obviously stole from berries, I didn't pay for it. And Bailey, I also like, I don't really give a shit about thing, my things. Like, I obviously like my shit, but I'm like, I'm not. Like, I really it it's accidents happen. And Bailey's also such like a guilt, has such a guilty conscience in general. And she shattered my$90 serum that I didn't obviously pay for, and she was like breaking the news to me. I thought she like kill accidentally killed a loved one, and she's like, I literally like already have it in my car. I just want to make sure it's like the right one. I'm like, Bailey, I don't care. One, I forgot I even ha owned that, didn't pay for it. Like, you're completely like, no, no, no, I feel so bad. I'm like, I literally like she literally had like a private one-on-one meeting with Holly. Like, what are we gonna do?
SPEAKER_03:And mind you, now we're at a point, it was a vitamin C serum, and now I like steal vitamin C serum out of his PR closet.
SPEAKER_00:Full circle.
SPEAKER_03:And what's your favorite memory with us?
SPEAKER_00:There's so many different stages to our friendship.
SPEAKER_03:I know.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, just like anytime we I would go to New York would be so much fun. Well, it's crazy because it's like most of our memories were like in New York or I guess LA.
SPEAKER_03:When we did my favorite memories is we were all home. This is gonna say that one. We barely knew each other at this point, too. Um, and we did a bar crawl, if you will, in Des Moines. I think Holly and I had just gotten laid off.
SPEAKER_02:We've been laid off so many times. Which job?
SPEAKER_03:Okay, so we got laid off from our New York restaurant job for one month due to the new COVID strain. So this would have been like 2021, 2022.
SPEAKER_02:Um the Omicron variant. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:And we were like on a bar crawl, and Brett was like, I'll buy your guys' drink since you're laid off. And I was like, This is so awesome, but I don't think you are making like Yeah, I don't think it's like damn.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, yeah, I'm gonna Venmo request y'all for that. No, that probably put me in like a financial K-hole, but worth it for y'all.
SPEAKER_03:That was super fun. We ended up at like Des Moines has this um Is it the Black Shepherd? Yeah, what is it?
SPEAKER_00:We went to this like dive bar that like is almost like satanic vibes. Yeah. Um, but yeah, it was just like such a bizarre, and again, we weren't like that close, but it it felt so like, oh my god, like we're young and dumb and in Des Moines. I also like don't go out in Iowa ever anymore or like really see people from Iowa anymore. So it really was just like, oh my god, we're taking over the town.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it was cute, and I also vividly remember um as Brett mentioned earlier, he's not the biggest Clear Swift fan. Um, but he put on all too well 10-minute version in the car, knew every word. He knew every single word, didn't miss a B. Um, next question: What is the best restaurant, bar, and coffee shop in LA? In your humble opinion.
SPEAKER_00:I'm like so bad at restaurants in LA because it's like there's so many restaurants, but I go to like the same four places over and over because I'm such a creature of habit. I love neighborhood coffee. I go there every single day if you want to inorganically run into me. And also everyone there is very sweet. I love the entire cast and crew. Kidding, I love that all of the workers are so sweet and cute.
SPEAKER_02:So do you think that you should meet your heroes or no?
SPEAKER_00:If your heroes are like celebrities, I feel like I don't get starstruck anymore. Not that I've like met a ton of A-list celebrities, but I feel like I don't, it's really case by case. And I think it is everyone is human, and I think just like even being in rooms with celebrities that I might not even talk to, it's just like, I don't know. I feel like I'm like, oh my god, you really are just like a human. I don't know. I feel like I also have a pretty good read on people, like the people who I thought would be great usually are great, and the people who I'm like, I can I kind of feel like you have like a dark energy, very dark. I think most people that I've met have been underwhelming to some capacity, and some of it is them being underwhelming as a person, and some of it is just being us putting a ton of pressure on these people to be certain things. I every single time someone like comes up to me or says hi to me or tells me they love my videos, I've like I'm it's so sweet, and it's also so crazy because I I feel like so much of my career is just like me making videos in my house. So like even be like, oh wow, people are like actually seeing this. People like genuinely think something that I made again on my couch is funny. Like that's so great. But then also there are there are like complicated fan interactions, and sometimes I'm like anxious or like don't want to talk to someone or overwhelmed or like with my friends, and I think again I have such a small platform and I receive this amount of these interactions way less, but like I don't get how celebrities do it because I think it's just like sometimes it's like, oh, I literally am just like going to a grocery store, and then if someone like says something, it's like it completely catches you off. Like, you know, like when you're a a waiter and someone goes off script, it's like I don't know how to act.
SPEAKER_03:I think it's impressive, and this is just me speaking as somebody who will like be with you sometimes and people approach you. And I think you and like all of your friends who are in the space too do such a good job of like, I don't know, I feel like it's a talent to almost be able to have the conversation and not have it completely revolve around yourself, considering you don't know this person, and it's like being able to still like talk to them and have I don't know, it's made me think before of like I have like eight followers, and I'm like, if someone approached me and said, Hey, I love your content, like what would I say?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I don't know. We all are we're all human and I just post online, but it's not like I do anything different, and also like these big celebrities, like they just are in in movies, they just are singers, and it's like but they just like are normal people, and I think honestly treating them like normal people is more beneficial than being like, oh my god, which you're allowed to obviously freak freak out. I whenever I see someone that I like and I admire their work, I just will like be like, oh my god, I think you're so talented, by the way, or like, oh I think you're so funny. Kind of leave it out there. If they want to talk to me more, they can continue on the conversation, but I just like I'd rather just be like, Here, I want you to know that I think you're really good and talented. And then if again, if they want to keep the conversation going, but like I don't ever want to be the person who's like lingering.
SPEAKER_01:Is it hard to make friends in LA slash in the influencer space?
SPEAKER_00:I don't know, I've had a lot of friends since I moved to LA, and I also think when people like hear like friend breakups, it's always like a very negative thing, but I'm also like it's so normal to like have friends for a certain time of your life and almost both outgrow each other, and that's completely fine. And I think I everyone who I've been friends with before and I'm like not friends with right now, I really don't have any like ill wishes towards them. Having adult friends is weird because like everyone has so much shit going on in their life, and I'm a person where I'm like I genuinely am releasing any expectations I have for friends because I think setting expectations for friends is very tricky, and also it's like we all have our own career, we all have our own shit. Like, I'm sure most of us have mental health illnesses that we're like actively working on, and I think just like friendship should be so fun and freeing, and like kind of take you out of all of the horrible things that are going on in our lives and the jobs we hate, and I think just like putting a ton of expectation and pressures on friends is so damaging, and I think friendship is such a gift, and I think you should be a good friend, and I think you should want to be a good friend, and I think you should actively want to support your friends. Like, I love my friends so much that I want to organically support them, organically be a good friend, and I care enough about them to show up, and I don't have expectations for them. But I hope that they care enough about me and want to support me enough to tell me and show up for me, and I don't think that should even like have to be a conversation. And if someone's like not organically showing up for me and like that sucks, but then it's also like okay, like I'm not gonna invest in this friendship as much. It's hard to make friends, and I think it's really hard to find people who are similar to you. And I think once you sometimes you find good friends, then it's like, oh, something can come up, and it's like okay, well, you really didn't have my best interest. Um, I also was someone who like I put so much of my validation on my online presence, and like any comment, like I would I would take to heart, and it's just like and then I got to a point where like this is like super unhealthy that I'm putting all my validation into like what random people think about me on the internet, and so then I was like, okay, great, I'm gonna put all of my validation on my friendships, and like that's what matters so much is how my friends see me. I just I could just care so much about that, but then even friendships sometimes they friends will let you down, and that's also not a healthy thing to put so much of your validation and worth into friendships, and it really unfortunately does have to come from within yourself, and that's something that I've been working through, and it's hard to like you kind of just have to put yourself out there, but then again, people will let you down, and people don't always have your best interests in mind, but I think just like putting less stress on your friends and less pressure on your friends and giving them the space to like be a good friend and do this these things organically, and there are people out there who like will love you so much and like want to support you, and it's not gonna be a thing where it's like, oh, I don't feel supportive by my friends. It's like, oh, they love me so much that they want to, and this is like everything they're doing is almost extracurricular because I have no expectations for you, so anything you do exceeds my expectations. Um but yeah, friends, I have a lot of friends, I've lost a lot of friends. I don't know, adult friendships are very similar to relationships in my mind, where it's like you can invest as much time and energy into them as you want, but then also you have to be so aware of like them not investing the time and energy back, and it's hard having to let go of friends. I'll leave you with this. What even was the question? I'm just going on like a long rant about friends. I love my friends so much, and I've experienced so much love towards my friends that I want to tell them this, and I think that is a very normal like you should have friends that just organically want to support you, that they love you so much that they want to tell you. And I think when you find those friends, like definitely hold on to them. I like friendships are so hard, and they really are, and I'm just like talking and that being said, let's bring in your close friend Becca. Oh, this is Becca Moore, everyone. Woo! You know or you love her, um, Becca Moore. Someone who is often misunderstood. I actually said one time I think Becca is like the one of the most misunderstood people.
SPEAKER_05:Really? In what way?
SPEAKER_00:That's like a backhanded compliment. Um, but I just think like you're so funny and smart, but I think like you like play into like a ditzy character sometimes, but then it's like, no, guys, like she knows it's funny. I know it's a joke.
SPEAKER_04:I posted that I didn't know what time 1610 was. And I still don't I don't want to know. I think that's the main thing. I just don't want to. You don't want to know.
SPEAKER_00:Don't tell me.
SPEAKER_04:And people were like replying, and they're like, hi honey. So baby, it goes after two.
SPEAKER_00:It's really not that hard, baby. I also like I think you can relate to this. I'm never posting for feedback. No. Or like, I don't like I'm posting things as a joke. I'm pretending to not know things.
SPEAKER_04:I know.
SPEAKER_00:It's part of it.
SPEAKER_04:Sometimes when they like want to fix my issues, like if I'm like complaining about something, they're like, oh, just try like turn it up. Here's what you're gonna do.
SPEAKER_00:It's like I'm like kidding. I'm not I'm not going to you guys to fix my car service light.
SPEAKER_04:Especially if you think the first thing I would do is actually, yes, it is the first thing I would do.
SPEAKER_00:I was only gonna say, yeah, I agree. And then I was like, well, actually, I wouldn't know I usually do posts first. And then look for, and then like we'll go through, read all of the responses, like not take any of them. I'm like, why are you guys even responding? I'm not, and then I like, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:No, I know. One time I posted that I feel like I need the approval of like any teacher I have, like, because I've been doing acting classes, and I need them to love me.
SPEAKER_00:You need less approval from teachers. You're actively somebody needs less approval from their authority figures. This is one time where I'm like it is so bad.
SPEAKER_04:This man, yeah. It's scared. I'm an acting teacher who I'm like scared of right now because I went too five too close to the sun.
SPEAKER_00:But you didn't do anything wrong. It's a thousand percent him. He flew far beyond the sun.
SPEAKER_04:Basically, like I had a crush on my acting teacher and and he's not my acting teacher now. I have to believe he was at the time.
SPEAKER_00:As of like a week ago, he's not, he's not anymore.
SPEAKER_04:But yeah, my acting teacher, I had a crush on him. He's like a really hot man, and then things took a turn where he started liking me back, which was scary. But when I did get into his class, like he had DM'd me in 2024, like before I was even his student, being like, I bet boys DM you all the time saying that they're in love with you. And so then I'm in his class, and I'm remembering he's hot. So like I was excited at the time. I was like, oh my god, I have like a secret with my acting teacher. Like, he thinks I'm cute, and he's hot and he's hot. And then um, as time went on, it got worse and worse and worse. And he got more confident, like flirting with me in front of the entire class, and it feels awesome until it's also I need to just it's like wildly inappropriate, and I'm laughing, and it's like not okay at all. But it just like it wasn't funny for a second, but now it's funny because I'm not in that building anymore. But yeah, then I would like it it escalated, and then I would like turn a corner in the building, and then I would see him in the corner with another girl, and then I would be like, Maybe I'm not special, maybe this guy is just like horny, like all the time.
SPEAKER_00:Where were you when you found out you weren't special and your acting teacher who is hot? I remind you, is just horny.
unknown:I know.
SPEAKER_04:And then yeah, he was DMing me a lot.
SPEAKER_00:And I also think though, like, you probably get this, you have probably a thousand guys lined up at your doorstep. It reminds me, we always talk about you know when like old men will be like, if I had legs like that, I yeah, I would wear a mini skirt too. Where it's just what like older people just like that, like yeah, like get away with saying so many things where it's like like that, like, yeah, I'm sure all the boys hit on you. Like, I like it's just like weirdly creepy, and like you can't say this as I know, but he's hot, so he was hot can you if you're hot? I know you can a little bit. What do you think about people you meet later uh after they've DM'd you? Like the fact that you met him and like a year before he had DM'd you, do you think that's like flattering, or is that like weird to you?
SPEAKER_04:It's hot to me. I like it.
SPEAKER_00:Is it hot only when they're hot though?
SPEAKER_04:Okay, yes, obviously. It's not hot when they're like creepy. Like if it also is weird when I like meet a new friend and then I like look and they've like DM'd me before, which like I don't mind it, but like a lot of times they will pretend like they didn't know have never seen my content before, and then um I'll see that they've like DM'd me a couple times and like asking me for a loyalty test. Alex Earl asked me for a loyalty test. Can I just say that? I literally freaked out when she was like blowing up. Yeah, like before I looked and she DM'd me being like, hi, can you loyalty test my boyfriend? If you don't know what a loyalty test is, I used to like DM when I needed money in COVID. Girls would send me five dollars and I would DM their boyfriends to see if they would cheat, if they would reply to my DM.
SPEAKER_00:The fact that's your COVID side hustle, your new normal job is taking five dollars Venmo to start relationship drama. I love it.
SPEAKER_04:And I would like DM their boyfriends and be like, hey, I just moved to Denver. What bars are cool? And they had like their girlfriend in their profile picture, and I would just like as if any girl would ever do that. But like, what the fuck?
SPEAKER_00:That was it is crazy that you are like a level of hot where it's like you are just an immediate threat to any relationship if you DM, you can have no ties to someone and you can just loot cold DM and it's like all right, I'll leave my girlfriend.
SPEAKER_04:It was like I would say like 60% of the men replied at least.
SPEAKER_00:A lot of them Which is just like an insane success rate. Like that you should be proud of that. That's it. But I like cold like that a lot. By the way, keep in mind I would your stats on the 60% uh response rate, 40% yes.
SPEAKER_04:Well, hear me out. I was face tuning a lot, like my entire body and face was like a different like avatar back then. So like I did look just like generic girl. Like if you look up like blonde girl, that's right.
SPEAKER_00:You're like, trust me, I create I curated the line.
SPEAKER_04:Curated a fake woman that wasn't.
SPEAKER_00:I designed this girl. Designed in a lab, Becca Moore.
SPEAKER_04:There was this one guy that was like, I was like, who's the girl in your pop up? Like, we were talking in Florida.
SPEAKER_00:By the way, it's I'm imagining you like actually starting to like the guy that he didn't like. I like blocked the girl from You're like, I just wanted to get dinner with him just to see. I just wanted to see how far he was. We did have sex, but I wanted to see. I wanted a test. It was a test. And he passed. I like him. I think I like him.
SPEAKER_04:So I think I like him. Sorry, I'm gonna take your boy. But yeah, there was no alphabet. Alphaba. I can't okay. Yeah, I'm getting canceled right now. There are so many directions I could take this. Like there it was the girl talking to the boy through me, like through my account. Like the girl would just like tell me what to exactly what to say, and I literally would just copy and paste. And for five dollars. For five dollars. And um one guy was like, I was like, Who's the girl in your profile picture then if we're going to we're if we're going on a date on Friday? And the guy was like, That's my cousin. And then other times there was one time that they the they would be together, like the girl and the guy would be like hanging out in the same house, like on the couch together, and then he would be like, No, I'm single, while she's sitting next to him on the couch, which was like really disturbing. And I ended up having to stop because it was like affecting my also had a crazy boyfriend who didn't like it, but other than that, I like the I like the line that was a crazy boyfriend, and this is completely separate from that, but it is so funny.
SPEAKER_00:It's like, yeah, he like it was like a really good guy. It's like, yeah, he didn't like me like randomly DMing.
SPEAKER_04:I know, I don't know why we're gonna be like, We're working though.
SPEAKER_00:Jesus. I'm imagining you with like AirPod Maxes in front of like a laptop with your phone. Yeah, you're like, okay.
SPEAKER_04:Like sexting a random guy.
SPEAKER_00:You have like six girls, like numbers that you're like copying and pasting.
SPEAKER_04:Like you have to find a man that supports your career, and he did not, so we had to go. No, exactly. Also, okay, yeah, Alphaba to get into Alphaba. I think the movie highlighted it more. Like, I've seen the musical. I'm a wicked stan, I've seen the musical so many times. I have the soundtrack memorized, you guys. Like, I know. She knows Wicked. I know Wicked.
SPEAKER_00:She knows Ball.
SPEAKER_04:And so I literally go to the movie, and I think when you're seeing it, with they have more time to play around in the movie, and you're really seeing Alphaba be like a bit. Like, no, I love look, and I love I Glinda sucks too. Like, Glinda is fascist, basically. She's being like She's fascist. She's fascist.
SPEAKER_00:You're gonna get in trouble for that too, I'm sure. But Alphaba stole her man. Yeah. Well, I also think just like the you steal your best friend's, your best friend's man, and then you come back wedding day. On her wedding day, she's walking down the aisle, and then she comes back, she's like, Oh yeah, you're surprised she chose he chose someone green. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:It's like, no, I just didn't think my best friend would fuck my friend.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's like, no, you're fake as hell.
SPEAKER_04:Like, and okay, yeah, like I I feel like we need to take away the parallels uh to real society in this in order to just focus on that one storyline.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Well, I also like fuck yeah, I love that Alphabet's like an activist. No, I love that. That's a whole thing. You also still can't fuck your best friend's fiance.
SPEAKER_04:I'm sorry, like it makes sense.
SPEAKER_00:And then come back and be like, yeah, bitch, you mad he chose me. Also, she like didn't give a fuck. If she would have cared about her sister dying, and like she was just like, God, that pisses me off. But it's like, yeah, let's talk about my man.
SPEAKER_04:I know.
SPEAKER_00:Like, wait, isn't your sister splatted under this house?
SPEAKER_04:No, literally, and then meanwhile, the night before, the guy was like, I I think she was like, I know you don't think I'm beautiful, and he was like, I just see things in a different way. Yeah. Like, what are we even talking about?
SPEAKER_00:If someone ever said that shit to me, yeah, where it's like, Well, good for you. Well, yeah, I don't think you're beautiful, but I did reframe my brain to thinking you're beautiful. Don't ever fucking say that to me. Like, I feel like, oh my god. He's like, well, I yeah, at first I didn't think you were beautiful. Fine, got me there. But then with some critical thinking and some, you know, lowering of my standards.
SPEAKER_04:You'll do when I close my eyes. People are blaming Glinda for Nessarose's death. All she said was to start a rumor. That's not equivalent.
SPEAKER_00:Wick it witch. Is that like whatever being like over wicked witch.
SPEAKER_04:Did she say that like 20 times in 20 interviews?
SPEAKER_00:I love, I mean, she's like so fucking precious that she can say it a million times. But it is like every single time it's like as if she's never said it before. I don't know.
SPEAKER_04:It's like Lady Gaga being like, there could be a hundred people in the room, only one needs to see a person needs to see it.
SPEAKER_00:It's like, do you guys not like if I say something twice in like a similar delivery, I'm like, write some new shit. Like it's a new material, but I love the dedication to the wicked witch. The wicked witch. Um, should we answer some questions that we have polled?
SPEAKER_04:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:So the question was do you ever respond to something insulting on your post?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, this man named Kelly commented on my. How is what? I know, why is his name Kelly? Yeah. That's a crazy name.
SPEAKER_00:It's like I immediately I'm like, a man named Kelly, and you're speaking out.
SPEAKER_04:I didn't even believe it was real. I thought it was like offensive.
SPEAKER_00:A man named Kelly.
SPEAKER_04:He commented on a random reel of me talking about like something. I remember it was like a dramatic reel of like me being like like vulnerable for once or something, as if I'm always vulnerable. And he was like, Your fake boobs look terrible. And I was like, These, I first of all, I paid for them. Second of all, first of all, I paid for them.
SPEAKER_00:Literally. Second of all.
SPEAKER_04:And then I go to his profile and it's also public, by the way. Like, how the f and he was like an old man, he was like 70, and he had a wife. Every picture was him and his wife, and then his kids, who were like my age, like normal, like kid looking people. And his entire and then there is one photo of his eyes, like he okay, no offense to your sty, but he had like two big styes, even bigger, and like his entire eyes were like bigger is fucking crazy.
SPEAKER_00:This is like hopefully on its last days, last life. Even bigger, believe it or not. It was even bigger.
SPEAKER_04:You know, when you're like telling a story and you realize that it's a wrong audience, then like the person will get offended.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, yeah, this disgusting thing on his eye. Um, I don't even remember where what part of the bot. No, Becca, I'm fine with my style. Continue to tell the story. I'm sure it was That was it.
SPEAKER_04:I was just like, You're at you're gonna talk about my fake boobs on your public profile and you have your entire family on your Instagram.
SPEAKER_03:Um, next question. Have you guys ever looked at Reddit to see if anyone is saying stuff about you?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Oh god, yeah. I sometimes am offended that not enough people are saying about it.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, I got offended for a while that not enough people were talking about me.
SPEAKER_04:That's what I just said. You just called me.
SPEAKER_00:But then I started talking about it. But then I started seeing some shit that they say on Reddit, and I'm like, Do you ever look at Reddit to see if anyone's saying anything about you? God, yes. I used to look and wish someone feel it. Well, I people don't really talk about me, which I do think is like insulting. But I it is good.
SPEAKER_04:I used to wish for like a snark page, and I'm like, no, do not. Seriously, please don't, please don't. It was like I just wanted to feel like relevant when I was like 21. Well, yeah. I think it's just because I mean, knock on wood, I feel like we don't really do that many. Like, I feel like we're not very wait, I just talked about how I get cancelled for everything, but I was gonna say I'm not very toned. I hope I'm not tone.
SPEAKER_00:But I think like the things you get cancelled for are so like taken out of context and also like people not getting your humor. Yeah. And it's less of like, oh, this is rooted in evil. Oh, the question was are there any spots in LA that are overhyped?
SPEAKER_04:You love Barney's beaning.
SPEAKER_00:I don't love Barney's.
SPEAKER_04:Yes, you do.
SPEAKER_00:I think the vibe there is rancid.
SPEAKER_04:Okay. I think it is like it gives me a pit in my stomach every time I'm there. I feel like I'm always going through like a situation ship breakup on Barney's. Because why the fuck else am I going to Barney's? Other than to meet up with someone that wants to go to Barney's and then you walk in and it's like haunted of memories of like a hot guy you're playing pool with. You don't even like to play pool, maybe.
SPEAKER_00:I also think Barney's Beenery is where you go into LA when like you are at your lowest point and you are like in desperate need of friendship. And I think when when I go back to that place, it's like, oh yeah, this is when I was like trying to like network with like other friends.
SPEAKER_04:I don't say that. Network with other friends.
SPEAKER_00:Well, it was like, oh, I have yeah, I need to like make none of my friends. But it's like it doesn't feel like you're making friends at Barney's. It always felt like weird. You're in a bad mood. Yeah, you're in a bad mood, you're dehydrated, yeah, you don't have friends. You don't have friends. You are at a good like if you have a good spot anywhere, I'm fine. Like if I have a good booth, I can fucking go anywhere and have a drink.
SPEAKER_04:But like something about Barney's. If you don't have a spot at Barney Barney's, it's like even if I have the best spot with friends, I'm in a bad mood there because I it feels haunted. I don't even know, nothing even like dramatic happened to me there. It's just the tone of Barney's.
SPEAKER_00:Like I think it's like Barney's. Well, tennis is also horrible.
SPEAKER_04:No, but I like it. So don't say that. People will go, I don't want to be really good. Unless you're really hot. Then you should go. Remember, remember when we were at tenants and there was a hot girl? I told uh made a TikTok about that when there was like a really hot girl, and you're like, oh my god, go talk to her. So I go tap her on the shoulder, and I'm like, couldn't think of anything to say because she looked like she was my type. She was like wearing all boy clothes. I tapped her on the shoulder. I was like, Where'd you get your shirt? And then she was like, Oh, it's from the guy's house I woke up in this morning. She literally just like was wearing all of his clothes and hung out with him all night.
SPEAKER_00:And then Becca brings her back to the group and is like, I don't want to talk to her. And like Becca.
SPEAKER_04:And then Lena had Lena pretended to be my girlfriend. Lena was like, I'm sorry, she has a girlfriend, so you have to get away from her right now. And then she was like, Oh no, I just I just wanted to uh introduce her to the guy that I'm seeing. So she went and found the guy. Do you remember this part? I didn't know. She found the guy whose outfit it was, and the guy had to come up to me and be like, okay, this shirt, it's from You're like, I just like I genuinely.
SPEAKER_00:I literally don't even give a fuck.
SPEAKER_04:And then I'm wearing like a booby. I'm literally wearing a booby corset and like, why the fuck would I ever wear your gloves? You want I don't want your clothes, I want your girlfriend. I'm not weird.
SPEAKER_00:You want your hollister like flannel.
SPEAKER_04:Straight girls should not wear hats ever. Never wear hats.
SPEAKER_00:If you're straight, stop dressing gay. Every single time I see Becca, she's like, wait, should I be massive? I don't want to start being masked. Becca's like the most feminine girl.
SPEAKER_04:I am like on if there's a spectrum, I'm like the like zero on the spectrum of like masculinity. But I think it's just because this girl like was like, but like what are you gonna do to be masked? Like what wear hats and stuff. There's this girl, literally that was just.
SPEAKER_00:Rebecca, insane.
SPEAKER_04:I'm not getting considered changing my entire style.
SPEAKER_00:I really want you just one day not tell anyone and you just show up in a very like masculine button up all the way up.
SPEAKER_05:I've always wanted a tie cargo pants.
SPEAKER_00:A beanie. What are you guys even talking about? I've always had this shit. You have your tags on this shit still.
SPEAKER_04:Because I looked up her.
SPEAKER_00:You're in a stussy sweatsuit.
SPEAKER_04:Photos of grass, like for some reason, black and white.
SPEAKER_00:Just like, whatever. Who gives a fuck? 2026, your mask.
SPEAKER_04:Fine, I'll do it. I'm not kidding.
SPEAKER_00:I'll go super, super femme if you go mask.
SPEAKER_04:Are you a top or a bottom? You can't say that. Uh okay.
SPEAKER_00:Is it weird running into people from your past knowing that they have more information about you than you do on them?
SPEAKER_04:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_04:I went to Christmas last year and my uncle like I did not expect you to say your uncle.
SPEAKER_00:I thought I was gonna make this girl. I went to high school. Yeah, my uncle's like so fucking insane about this.
SPEAKER_04:My uncle was like, so you're going through your first WLW breakout. No. And he was 70s. I've never even heard him say a single word to me, by the way. This is like an uncle that ignores you at every function. WLW at 70 is fucking. And he's one of those like snarky uncles who like says one line and then like turns their buttons, like, this is what he did. WLW.
SPEAKER_00:I love how he used the proper terminology for it. Like, not even like your first day relationship lesbian. He's like, Yeah, I know WLW. Like, I don't. What is it?
SPEAKER_04:And then he just disappeared into like the background of the scene, but that was like right when I walked into his house, and I'm meanwhile, like fighting on the phone with my girlfriend at the time, and I was like, Don't bring it up right now, John. I can't. So yeah, yeah, that's horrible. It's like awkward with family, I think, because I post like a lot of shit. So yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, I also feel horrible because I mean, I don't know who from high school listens to this podcast. If any of you do, God bless your kind soul. But I do think it's also like I have unfollowed most people that I went to high school with.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I like I want them to be influencers because I want to see what they do. I mean like I want to watch them go to like the bank or whatever they do.
SPEAKER_00:Oh yeah, that would be funny. What do they do? But I do think it is like bizarre now to be like, I don't know like who's married, who's where who's who, where, who's who, who's where, where's who, where's what there's still some people from high school I would that could get it. Like, you should have I think I officially got to the point where no one from high school can get it.
SPEAKER_04:I wish I was hot in high school though. Two years after high school, I like dyed my hair blonde and I was a server, and my really hot government teacher, Mr. Vincent, came into my restaurant and he sat down and he changed my life. He like told me what college to go to. Also, when I was also when I was dating my pizza boss, because I dated my boss at a pizza place I worked at, he pulled me aside in class one time and he was like, I really think you need to tell your parents you need to quit your job at the pizza place. Sounding like inappropriate that your boss is talking to you in this way. And I remember being like, Oh my god, my boss fucking likes me. My teacher just confirmed it because I was like gossiping with all my friends, being like, Does he like me? Does he not like me? So when he like pulled me aside to be like, this is inappropriate, and I was only 17. Um anyway. And you were like, This sounds like trauma dumpy, but it was like awesome. Like I was like, Yeah, my pizza brother likes me. Because I was like reading out loud my text from my boss in class.
SPEAKER_00:This is extremely inappropriate. You should leave your job immediately. Like, is it inappropriate because he likes me?
SPEAKER_04:I did, yeah. That's literally what I thought. Anyway, so like in my head, he like completely changed my life, and then like I love it.
SPEAKER_00:It's like he chose what college you should go to. Like, how? He shouldn't have.
SPEAKER_04:I just liked him. He was and he was like a hot man. He's like, go to go to OU. And then I did it. It's like whatever you say. And then two years after high school, not even that long after high school, I was serving him at a restaurant, and I was so excited. I like made them put him in my section, and I was like, Mr. Vincent! And he was like, Hi, I'm sorry, where do I know you from? He didn't remember me at all.
SPEAKER_00:You're like, I chose my college based off of you, you fuck.
SPEAKER_04:I'm remind me of your name. This is two years after I graduated. He was senior year teacher, by the way.
SPEAKER_00:And so this is why you were hot. You wish you were hot in high school.
SPEAKER_04:I mean, I get, yeah, I don't even know why I like chose that to segue into this, but I'm just saying, like, what was that? That was crazy. I think about that a lot.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's Jen. I mean, like, I think it's Becca, and he's like, made the biggest name because of you, and you can't even remember why. You meant everything to me.
SPEAKER_04:He said, I'm Becca Moore, and then I showed him photos, and he was like, This is so crazy, this has never happened to me before.
SPEAKER_00:Completely drew a blank. Yeah, I've never had this before, but I don't remember you.
SPEAKER_04:That's so crazy. Like, you don't even in his timeline. So, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:He's like, I don't think you were real.
SPEAKER_04:Like, I think if I show I don't know if you went to that school. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Every time here's a picture of us together.
SPEAKER_04:He's like, oh no, I don't know.
SPEAKER_00:This has never happened before. I have no idea who you are. But I love it, girl.
SPEAKER_04:I was kind of quiet in high school though. I mean, no, I wasn't. I was like being a pygmy, I'm like excited. I love it when people say things like that. I'm like, I wish I was too. Like, I want to be cool like that.
SPEAKER_00:No, it's like I was really quiet and I was like nerdy and quiet.
SPEAKER_04:No, I wish.
SPEAKER_00:Just like read a lot.
SPEAKER_04:But sometimes you can just lie and say things like that on different podcasts. You could just be like, yeah, I was really a quiet kid. Yeah. Yeah. It was like different emotion. This is a fun podcast. Thanks. This is my favorite podcast ever.
SPEAKER_00:Oh my god.
SPEAKER_04:I say that on every single one. You'll never know if I'm lying.
SPEAKER_00:Alright, so we do the segment called Am I in the Wrong where I read this and we decide if they're in the wrong or not. I 27F.
SPEAKER_04:Me too. Aww, I like you. Oh. Hate what?
SPEAKER_00:IVF.
SPEAKER_04:Oh my god, you're this is a cancel thing where I because remember I got canceled because of the IVF thing.
SPEAKER_00:Wait, what?
SPEAKER_04:Isn't IVF like pregnancy stuff?
SPEAKER_00:Oh, I don't know.
SPEAKER_04:Was this a trap? I'm scared.
SPEAKER_00:Hate IVF. My girlfriend really wants to have kids.
SPEAKER_04:This is a setup. You guys, this is real.
unknown:Is this real?
SPEAKER_00:No, I just completely made that up.
SPEAKER_04:Twinny! Do I have a story for you?
SPEAKER_00:You're like, wait, okay. I actually no, she's in the wrong. Um so briefly, do you want to Becca got canceled for talking.
SPEAKER_04:Okay, imagine you're dating someone and you know that they have zero.
SPEAKER_00:Trying that I can't.
SPEAKER_04:You have zero future together. Like they're definitely I mean I can say this now because there's no way she's watching.
SPEAKER_00:They're not absolutely not watching.
SPEAKER_04:Um you're dating someone and you know that there's no future, and then you see them like holding a baby in your family, and there's a lot of red flags at this point in the relationship. Like full every red flag you could think of, that's a red flag that applied to this situation. You see her holding a baby, and then you're like, oh my god, I can never have kids with this person. I feel bad, I'm sorry, but like I knew that.
SPEAKER_00:It breaks my heart. It breaks my heart.
SPEAKER_04:So I said I told her I didn't I like didn't know about like because like also she was like older than me and I like didn't know her timeline on having kids and I wanted to give her like the opportunity to have you know like children. But yeah, I basically just like told her I didn't know how I felt about like IVF and that entire process, and um she was like, Oh my god, you're so fine. Like she took it like way too much.
SPEAKER_00:But it was more so she's like, I don't want to have kids with you, and then the internet took it as Becca being anti-IVF.
SPEAKER_04:We framed it like that, yeah. It was bad. Like the entire podcast.
SPEAKER_00:So Becca does not stand for IVF, just gonna clear this up really. She does not stand for Iowa.
SPEAKER_04:I love IVF and I love IVF.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, I love IVF. No, Becca really we joke, but she That was the craziest thing. As for being genuine, Becca is misunderstood.
SPEAKER_04:I know that was really bad.
SPEAKER_00:And so have you ever seen anything bad about Becca? Just know it's probably not true.
SPEAKER_04:Remember when I sent the episode? You were one of the people that I sent the episode to while we recorded it, because I went on a podcast being like blaming it on me not wanting to go through that process, and then you listened to it and you're like I told you not to post it.
SPEAKER_00:Do not post that. You were taking complete blame for everything, which it wasn't your fault at all. They went ahead and posted it.
SPEAKER_04:She said to take it with a grain of salt because you would be biased. Because you would be biased.
SPEAKER_00:Because I'm biased in the game. Anyway, this is the real Am I in the wrong? And you know it and you fucking love it. I, 29F, sorry, had really bad period cramps and had not slept at all the night before and was on day two of my period. I was out the next day with my sister and was dreading having isn't this a real one? Yeah. Oh my god, this is our first real reel we've just been pulling from the very popular segment, Am I the Asshole? from Reddit, which I didn't know existed. I was out for the next day with my sister and was dreading having to go to my friend's 29F birthday. She had planned a lavish night out in London with five other friends where we were to meet for a dinner at a fancy Indian restaurant in central London at 5:30, ridiculously early. Then to go back to her flat in East London to freshen up, then go back into central London for Club, another club, London, London. Uh for 8 p.m. for drinks at expensive cock, whatever. Um, after spending the day out on top of my period and the fact that it was dark at 4 p.m. The thought of going into central was killing me.
SPEAKER_04:So I texted I guess I just don't understand the term central. I'm like, okay, Central London.
SPEAKER_00:She didn't want to go to Central, and that's fine.
SPEAKER_04:I wouldn't either.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, fuck Central.
SPEAKER_04:Um I texted the group chat around 3 p.m. to tell them I was not well and would not be coming, and I was sorry the birthday girl did not get back to me until 6 p.m., three hours. Okay.
SPEAKER_00:She said because one of us in the party did not show up for the restaurant, there's a$50 amendment fee to the booking that's the most British sentence I've ever had. I told her I was really sorry, but I'm not willing to pay for that. Um that as she never told me that when she was in she invited me, I had not pretty much this girl uh didn't want to go to dinner anymore because she had period cramps and she was out about all day, and then she decided not to go because her cramps were bad, and then her friend said that she had to pay for the$50 booking fee.
SPEAKER_04:I think you are a little bit in the wrong because it's her birthday. I think you're a little bit in the wrong.
SPEAKER_00:I think I just would do like if I was this friend, I would be like, I feel so sorry that I'm missing your birthday. Like, I will happily pay for it. And then I feel like usually the friend is like, no, you're fine.
SPEAKER_04:But then even I feel like birthdays are the one day a year you kind of have to like do whatever the person wants. So it's just like I feel like you kind of have to like go to a CVS and get I don't know if you guys know what CBS is, but I don't know if y'all have that in central, but uh central London. Everything seems crazy there.
SPEAKER_00:I also think, I mean, I've never had a period and God willing never will, but like I don't know like if that's a strong enough excuse to like again, I just not pay the$50.
SPEAKER_04:I would feel like I would pay$50 because I felt bad. Yeah, I also it's just like that you're 29, so it's not like you're 21 and you really don't have I mean I don't know your situation. I'm just saying, like, I feel like a friendship that's not worth$50 to you.
SPEAKER_00:But I'm also like you would have at least spent$50 um in central anyway. So it's like if you went to dinner, you would have been probably paying more than 50 pounds. The last minute cancellation would piss me off. Like if it's my if I'm the birthday girl, um, I would be pissed. I don't think I would ask my friend to pay for the$50 thing, but I also would offer in the first place if I was the other friend.
SPEAKER_04:Again, it's like I just think this is like bad etiquette all around. Yeah, like just pay it, I guess. Or just like really apologize. Like, unless you're you don't have the funds to pay it, then don't pay it. Then tell her that you can't afford it. But I feel like this is not worth losing a friendship over.
SPEAKER_00:Like, this is I also think again, birthdays are the one day where it's like no, you can sacrifice for me.
SPEAKER_04:Because what are you gonna do? Go home and lay on your bed and have cramps instead of just like be with your friends. Like you're gonna be on your phone no matter what. Also, I think it's a thing where it's like passion.
SPEAKER_00:Regardless, you're not gonna be talking to your friends at dinner, like you'll be scrolling. So you're either scrolling at a nice dinner or you're scrolling at home. Just scroll at the nice dinner.
SPEAKER_04:I know.
SPEAKER_00:Like, Jesus, it's not that fucking hard.
SPEAKER_04:No, you like I feel like if you could figure things out, you could get like a heating pad and literally bring it to dinner or something. I don't know.
SPEAKER_00:I feel like I also think it's like it'd be one thing if it's like we are going to the show or a concert. It's like you can go to dinner and like you have to eat anyway. What did you eat?
SPEAKER_04:Ramen noodles at home? Just like eating food at the restaurant.
SPEAKER_00:Just scroll. I know at the restaurant. It's not that hard. Bring your phone to the restaurant, scroll.
SPEAKER_04:Scrolls. It's like the TikToks with like the half of the screen. It's like someone doing slime. And then someone a girl doing her makeup.
SPEAKER_00:And then your weird audio on one, and then it's like the ball or like the glass thing going down the stairs.
SPEAKER_04:Or it's like, which ball are you? It's like red. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Um, just do that. Yeah. Alright, I'm gonna call her.
SPEAKER_04:Just do that.
SPEAKER_00:Hello. Hello. Better. Hi, how are how's it going in Central? Oh, it's your friend's birthday. Maybe you should show up. You don't want to. Oh, that sucks. Oh, well, I heard you heard about the 50-pound amendment fee. First of all, what's that mean, bitch? Second of all, pay it. Just pay it. You're in the wrong. Sorry. I feel horrible about your cramps. Again, don't know what that's like. Just go fucking scroll at the restaurant. Like, I don't get what the deal is. And if you don't want to scroll, pay 50 pounds.
SPEAKER_04:Scroll or pay 50 pounds. Your choice.
SPEAKER_00:I think it's pretty fucking obvious you have to eat dinner anyways, as Becca said.
SPEAKER_04:What are you gonna eat, ramen noodles? What are you gonna eat, ramen noodles? Say that.
SPEAKER_00:No, that's good. Say that. Say that. Um do you want to say something to her?
SPEAKER_04:I want to find your friend's Instagram so that we can DM this episode to her. We need to find her Instagram scroll.
SPEAKER_00:We will.
SPEAKER_04:Okay, yeah. I think you're in the wrong. I'm so sorry. 29F.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:That's it.
SPEAKER_00:Just scroll.
SPEAKER_04:Just scroll.
SPEAKER_00:My god. Okay, I've been buying it.
SPEAKER_04:I'm like not in a Thanksgiving mood. I don't have any Thanksgiving. What are you guys? What are you doing for Thanksgiving?
SPEAKER_00:I'm going to Phoenix. Sorry.
SPEAKER_04:Oh wait, three things I'm grateful for. Okay. I'm grateful for this new girl that I have a crush on. I'm not like haven't talked to her yet. Like, I just have, you know what I mean? Thank you for her. Yeah. My acting teacher teacher. And all the support that that girl. But by the way, my acting teacher is like, I think he's in trouble.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, he's gonna hopefully get tired.
SPEAKER_04:Because he's trying to hang out with me during the class. It's just again, it's so inappropriate that I'd leave his class and then he would DM me and he'd be like, Do you want to come to my yoga class? And I was like, Why the why are you a yoga teacher also though, by the way? Like, no. Yeah, and then and then I didn't reply.
SPEAKER_00:Becca's randomly had like four guys ask her on like a workout date.
SPEAKER_04:Oh my god, yeah. Another the hottest guy in my life. He asked, oh my god, separate from the acting teacher, there's a different guy. Literally, like love of my life. He asked, I made I met him at a party. Everyone's love of my life.
SPEAKER_00:I don't like him.
SPEAKER_04:I like ubered home from the day, like early.
SPEAKER_00:Love of my life.
SPEAKER_04:But he was so hot at this party, and then I thought that he was like so cool. And then the next day he texted me and he was like, Do you want to go to Pilates with me tomorrow? And it was like a Sunday morning. I was like, Why the fuck would I want to go to Pilates with you tomorrow for our first date? What are you even talking about? Like literally what? And we I was like, No, I don't like do things like that. And then we and then all he wanted to talk about was the Pilates and how like Jessica Alba goes to his Pilates and that's and that's why he wanted to go take it. One time my friend was like, I met a boy and like he's so fucking hot, and then she shows me a photo of him and he has the avatar, he's bald with an avatar arrow pointed down like towards his eyes, and it was huge. And I saw it and it was like a jump scare.
SPEAKER_00:Like, I was like, that was really I mean, I guess if you're bald, that's like might as well commit and just do like an avatar arrow airbender arrow. Like, sure.
SPEAKER_04:Imagine you're commit to the bit. And at that point, she was like kind of my new friend, so I had to be like, Oh, yeah. Wait, I love that for you.
SPEAKER_00:She's cute.
SPEAKER_04:Never gonna fight over men, I'll tell you that.
SPEAKER_00:I like him for you. Oh, that's fun. So cute. I have people DM me sometimes, like, Brett, I have the like perfect person for you. And I'm like, then they'll be like, hey, bumping this, just send me them.
SPEAKER_04:I know. I hate when they don't send photos.
SPEAKER_00:Bleed with a photo. I don't like, I'm not even gonna like give like, oh, I'd love, I'm not because then it's like, oh, it's they're a last air button. And then you feel guilty. No, well now I have to like pretend like my excuse.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, you can't like ghost them after they send a photo.
SPEAKER_00:And it's also so shallow because it's like, oh, here's what they look like, or then like, oh yeah, like honestly, yeah, I'm single and interested. Sure. And then it's like you're so fucking shallow to be like, like, how do you say no because they're ugly?
SPEAKER_04:It's the same thing on hinge, like when you like find their like when you ask for their Instagram.
SPEAKER_00:And it's like you're deep enough where it's like, oh. Oh yeah, well, fine, I'll follow you.
SPEAKER_04:And then you see, and then you ghost, you have to ghost them, and they know why. It's because like you found out that they just are really photogenic and five photos of themselves on hinge, and then they're gonna be like, Which if someone ever did this with me, which they have, but um doesn't get easier.
SPEAKER_00:I've gotten a match unmatched a pretty good amount of times, but that's just more so because I like showed my personality and it just didn't work. Yeah, you shouldn't do that. Like I only try to do a joke and it just doesn't land, and I look back and I'm waiting when it doesn't land. Oh, they didn't respond, and I'm like, oh wait, and they unmatched me.
SPEAKER_04:So I also just I get like, how dare you like match when they're messaging something? I'm like, don't even fucking think about it.
SPEAKER_00:Lose my fucking number. Even though I didn't accept them like first, yeah. I send them a rose. Get the fuck out of my messages. Like, ew.
SPEAKER_04:I always just say something like what's up, Becca? Like, fuck.
SPEAKER_00:How's it going, Brett? Get the f so fucking far away from my fucking face. How's your Tuesday going? Get out!
SPEAKER_04:It's just like disgusting, especially if you're like secretly sad about someone else and you're like feel like you're cheating on the person.
SPEAKER_00:It's like I can't even what do you want?
SPEAKER_04:Jason from Hinge is like I love surfing TV and new.
SPEAKER_00:Or when you like send a like and then they like and message you like almost the movies. Like, holy fuck!
