Hi, this is Brad. I was dialing you in because I had a question. I There's no way. Hello? What a dick. This shit on. I love it when the I think is nuts. I think. Let's just film the entire episode and then check. Hi you guys. Welcome back to Dialing In with Brett. This week has been a crazy. I'm kidding. I don't address the fact I've been gone for six months. What happened this week? Um. So I'm back. I have an announcement. Um and before I say the announcement, thank you for the happiest year of my life. I just want to start by saying thank you for the happiest year of my life. You guys are my the backbone to society. And also my backbone. But sometimes you have to get rid of your backbone. Sometimes you have scoliosis. Um, and unfortunately, this will be the last episode of the podcast. Insert terror, insert screams of terror, wailing, pianos falling from eighth stories, my leg, car crash, and I feel bad about that. I am a quitter. Like, I am a quitter, like through and through. I've always been a quitter, always will be a quitter. Kidding. I actually don't know if I'm like a quitter or if that's just like the shit that my mom like told me over and over again. But I did quit like every high school sport that I did after three days. So I just like, and also every job I had after like a week. So I don't like quitting things, but guys, we're not quitting. Let's reframe our brains into thinking we're not quitting, we are succeeding. Holly and Bailey are off camera, unmiced, untapped, unfiltered. We are sitting in my backyard. We're in my backyard, guys. We're at the new house. We'll we'll get back to the fact that I'm never doing this ever again. We're in the new house. You guys, I am happy as a fucking clam. Redirection is redirection. Um, anyways, we're in the new house. It was hell. It was hell getting this damn place. No one tells you how hard it is buying a house. No one like prepares. It's crazy. We're like all these things you do for the first time. It's like, oh shit, like you just kind of have to learn. And I hate learning. Kidding, I like learning. Not these things. It was so unfun doing the whole process. Thank God it's over. I was talking to like 50 plus year olds on the phone for about like six to eight hours a day for like three weeks. Very, very sweet people. They were throwing out these words I didn't know. I just had to like be like, yeah. They'd be like, ask me a question. Like, so the escrow, are we finalizing that on the the day three of the? Yeah. We I um yes, I think yes, yes, that sounds right. So I just said yes to everything, somehow made it through. I hate how you guys are just staring at me, but also where else would you look? So the fun thing about me is I will wait until the last second to do anything. And I I knew I was moving on that Saturday for probably like I don't know, two weeks. In my defense, I went out of town like twice, three times in like three weeks leading up to me moving, so that was fun and easy. Um, but yeah, so day night before, I'm like, all right, I need to book some movers for the next day. I call it 5 p.m. Most places are closed. The ones that are, they're like, we can't do um 8 a.m. tomorrow. I'm like, okay, that's fine. Can we do like 10 tomorrow? Can't do anything tomorrow. Great. So then I try to hire a task rabbit to just I also hate moving so much. And I also think moving and picking your friends up from the airport are two things I have made you guys pick up from the airport recently. Um, different strokes for different folks. I ain't kidding. But I like I just like I hate having to ask for that. And so I was like, okay, I will just at this point it's my fault. It's fully my fault. I don't want Holly and Bailey to have to help me move. I'm just gonna get a task rabbit and I'm gonna rent a truck. This random guy and I are just gonna take tackle this. He bails. He bails last minute because he's like, I'm not doing this alone. I was like, I know. I know I am I am helping you. And he's like, Well, I can't find anyone else help me. It's there's never been anyone else, baby. It's just you and me. We are just doing this. He couldn't he couldn't do it alone. So I call up the girls. We moved my entire fucking house, and it was like, this is like the first place. My last place was like the first place where I'm like, okay, like I'm gonna be in LA for a while, I'm gonna like start getting some bigger pieces, sectional credenza, a couple bed frames, etc. etc. We had to move all of that, and I honestly was so impressed with Holly and Bailey because like we were just taking my sectional part piece by piece, not not light at all, and they're like throwing it over their shoulder. They were like such good sports in a way where I'm like, you guys could be complaining so much more, but then they like kind of actually like started to see it as like a challenge. Um but yeah, that was hell on earth. Um, but we did it, and oh my god, like my fucking landlord, my old landlord, my god. Okay, so I moved into this place like two years ago, and we had like first of all, I'm like, I'm moving in, I'm paying for rent. Get your shit out of here. This isn't like a storage unit for you. Like, you're renting this space out to me. Get your shit out of here. If you leave your shit here, that's like not my problem. He had these like genuinely like the shittiest curtains you could ever like like one ply, like navy blue college dorm curtains. The worst Mandy knew in college had these curtains, really fucking shitty. Three panels of them, genuinely, I think eleven dollars total. He doesn't like remember anything. First of all, I filmed an entire fucking mini-series at that place. I had a dog that he didn't know about, like huge holes in the wall, the massive holes. There was this one. If somebody's in the wall, I'm like, okay, I'm gonna use any force I have to just rip it out. I'm not gonna like obviously just assume that's gonna work because it works for just small nails. So I'm like, anything I should be able to just rip out. So there are these things. What are those things called? So there so there's this anchor. So there is this anchor. We just got my TV unmounted, and I'm just like, it's like, oh, it's not coming out. Okay, I'll just rip it as hard as I can. It takes out genuinely like a about five, six-inch hole in the wall. Um, randomly didn't get charged for that. He texts me after I move out. He's like, hey, where are those blue curtains that were left in the house? This man, like, it's always like the like this man, like, I'm is is is an older gentleman where I'm like, How did you remember? Like, I am young and youthful and hot and and remember things, but I'm like, this older gentleman, like, how did you remember these three shitty panels you had from 2011? And I'm actually just gonna read you the text because I was like, oh, like honestly, uh, well, actually, when he did the walkthrough, he came and he's like, Oh, you didn't like those curtains? Baby, I don't even remember the curtains, but yes, yeah, no, I didn't like them. I changed sorry, I changed the curtains in the house. Like, I thought I thought I was allowed to do that. I left a gaping hole in one of the rooms, and you didn't that didn't bother you, but the fucking let me pull it up. He said, Hi, Brett. I noticed that none of the blue curtains that were there when I rented the house to you were left in the house. I need them. Please c please call me so we can figure out how to get those back to me. Thanks. I said, I honestly don't know which curtains you were talking about. I moved in almost two years ago, so don't know where those were. There were the blue curtains there, period. When I asked you in the presence of my realtor where they were, comma, you told me that they were probably boxed up somewhere. You didn't know exactly where they were at the time, but that you will leave them for me. I had them in all the bedrooms except for the primary. And I said I changed them when I moved in. I don't know where they got put while moving, but also don't feel like I should be responsible for keeping them if they were left at the house when I was renting it. Oh, baby, that's not how the law works. That's how he started. That's not how the law works. I bought them and left the curtains there for the convenience of the tenant, shittiest curtains I've ever seen. It was supposed to be returned to me in the same condition when you leave. Read the lease. Since I already reported Since I already returned your deposit, I guess I'm shit out of luck. That really sucks. But I really expected more out of you. Didn't respond. Don't care. Got my deposit back. Hey! And he only took like 250s off again. It was just like truly almost a portal to another universe in one of the rooms, but he didn't care about that. But it's like, where the fuck are the curtains? No, cut the shit. Where are the curtains? Baby, there were no curtains. Anyways, that was moving. Are there any other things that like I feel like oh did the miniseries looking good as fuck? Um, and now I think I'm actually gonna read you guys gonna be able to see it. And the Gary's actually gonna see it. Um, so that will be coming soon, and that that's actually very exciting, and that is actually kind of the why. We are taking a setback from the podcast. Is y'all, I'm loving writing, shit's fun, but I really do enjoy it, and I've just been feeling very creative and inspired, and it's all good things. Um I did see I did see a discourse about me being upset that the podcast didn't get picked up. Y'all, I don't care. Y'all, I don't care, and that's why I love the podcast, is because I didn't care about it, and it felt like I could just do whatever, and I did. I took advantage of the fact that I could do or say whatever, and I love doing that, and that's why I will miss it a lot. And also, like, y'all, this is family. Like, deadass, this is family. If you come, if you see me anywhere and we meet, tell me that you listen to the podcast because that's just like everyone, oh my god, I love that video where you pretended to be the little kid in the pool. First of all, that was from 2016. Bitch, you know me. Name three of my new videos. Name some shit I've done in the past calendar year. Okay. Um, but you listen to podcasts, bro. Bring it like get in here. Get sit down. Come on. Now I'm getting you a drink. I'm getting you a drink. We're doing a shot. Um, but I will always be very grateful for the podcast. And I also think I still love doing the podcast. I think it's a very fun idea. Did anyone listen? No. But I'm also like, we learned so much. Holly and Bailey wouldn't have moved here if we didn't have this podcast. So, and now I got these girls in LA, and yeah, they're gonna do anything I want. Now they're trapped. I'm gonna kill ya. No, but I am very happy with how the podcast turned out. I don't have any regrets. I'm happy I did it. I'm happy you guys listened, and I feel like I really could just like shoot the shit on this. Um, as opposed to online, where I'm literally just a fucking corporate monkey uh cranking out these videos, your friend who, your friend who wait, I'm having fun talking. No, I can't. I probably could. No, I can't. I can't. I can't, I'm busy. I might know. No, but I do. We were talking about like we really all love doing the podcast, and we're trying to think of other ways where I can still overshare and kind of get out my crude thoughts in a very organized fashion. I also love I love interior design stuff, I love style stuff. I'd love to do more stuff with that, which I know you guys don't like to see or care for. Um, but I might try to mix that in. But they're gonna be big things coming. Um not the podcast. But truly, y'all, we had a good run. Um, so I'm just like kind of springing this bonus Jonas episode on you, and it's like bonus episode, uh, no more podcast. Um, but yeah, that's kind of exactly what we're doing. Holly has a question, sure. Go. Here, I'll just pass you the mic if you want to just ask it right into the we have a question from the guests.

SPEAKER_01

I guess my question is you said for a while the podcast is coming back. I swear you got it. Like literally, I know you don't think it's coming back. I swear to God it's coming back. And now it's not coming back. So what happened?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, good question. Um, do we have any more questions that we wanna? Yeah, you guys, I fucking know that. I'm aware. I'm aware, and I genuinely like there's so many things. I bail on everything, I cancel every plan I've ever had. And you know, I usually know that, like agreeing to like you're like, oh my god, yeah, coffee next Tuesday, 100%. Like knowing that I'm not gonna go, like I just like kind of a gut feeling where it's like that maybe we never were getting coffee. But when I say I genuinely was like, I'm actually doing the podcasts again, that was genuine until it wasn't. But it was the thing I really do enjoy doing the podcasts, but I also think I don't know, like as ew, I just like hate being like as a creative, but like I feel like you kind of just have to go with the punch. I mean, like, I didn't want to do social media, like this was never part of the plan. Like, I've never was like, fuck yeah, let me like be an influencer. That's like the main goal. Like, I never want to do that. Thrilled it worked out, very happy it worked out. Never thought I would do a podcast, did it. It like did just like so well that I was just overwhelmed by it. And like so many production companies were like, please, please. And I'm like, no, I I kind of want it, I only want a hundred people to listen and watch. And that was just kind of like I went to Disney Channel and I said I want to make history, um, and we did fewest views on no, but I do think like it's so fun being creative with people and friends, and like there's so many things where it's like, oh, right now it feels like a good time to make a podcast. Like, we have this fun idea, and we did it, and I think it was I don't regret it at all. And I think that moving forward, it's it's not embarrassing at all to do something, even if it doesn't like technically work out. Because like, what do you mean this didn't work out? What do you mean this didn't do well? It's like actually there are numbers. Don't look at the numbers, like take the numbers out of it, take the numbers out of the equation. Let's un on um let's look bigger picture. Did it do well? No, but seriously, I do think I don't have any embarrassment doing this. I I still feel like this was a success, and I don't regret doing it at all. And I think like just like I don't know, following those like little instincts, and even if it isn't a huge thing, like that doesn't matter. There will be other things that will bring you more success, and I think just each like creative project you do, I don't know. We learned so much from this. I feel like really inspired doing it, and I have no regrets. Yeah, and Bailey's gonna do her own personal pod. We'll link that. It's gonna be a we'll set we'll send you guys the full concept here shortly. We're just gonna kind of um tweak a few things. Um, what are other things that I need to kind of hit home before I leave you guys forever? Huh.

unknown

Just turn 28.

SPEAKER_02

Just turned 28 at Coachella. Coachella's not that fun. Actually, it is. No, it's not. Let's talk about it. Here's the thing. Well, this is also a new thing that I've started recently doing, and this was actually like my entire brand for a while, is like yucking people's yams. I don't want to do that anymore. I don't want there's too much, y'all like shit on everything. I shit on everything. I don't want to be a part of the people who shit on everything. But like Coachella, y'all don't need to go. Like, it's just like it's so it's fun, but it's like at the cost of like every inconvenience you could ever imagine. It takes two two hours to get there, three hours to leave, no matter like what good setup you have, you're still gonna have to walk an hour or a mile and a half into and out of the festival. You're gonna be tired, drinks are gonna be 60 bucks. Like, like you can't really win in that situation. But that being said, just like the culture is like no, it really is like the most toxic environment, but I do kind of love it for what it is. I turned 28 and it I turned 28 at this like branded house that I was at, which is I've done for the past three years, and it's always just so awkward because like first of all, why would any of these people know my birthday? They shouldn't, um, but they kind of do because I've turned one, I've turned uh had my birthday there the last three years, and so then I'll be like having a conversation on my birthday with a group of people, and it not get it doesn't get brought up, and then someone will be like, oh my gosh, the birthday boy, and then like all seven of the people that I'm with are like, oh my yes, happy birthday!

SPEAKER_03

Why don't you tell us? I'm gonna kill you.

SPEAKER_02

And then that kind of happened just like 18 different times all day. So at that point, I'm like, we don't even have to we don't have to do anything birthday related, which luckily they didn't um do anything. Luckily they didn't give me a cake or anything, so it was good. Um, didn't have to worry about that, but just a lot of like awkward encounters. And I like I also didn't like when people like get mad at me for not saying it's my birthday, I'm like, what do you like? How how are y'all acting on your birthdays? Actually a fucking mess. You guys are doing way too much on your birthdays, like calm down. Also, age is fake. Oh, I'm 28, I don't care. Like when you're actually old, it's like, guys, age like literally doesn't matter. Like, wait, why is it kind of cool to be old? Why is it kind of cool cool to be old and like wrinkly and washed up? I don't know. Kind of a vibe. Um, but I do think like I I don't think this is a god complex, but I do think like anyone who's at least like three years younger than me at any time, I'm like, you're baby, you're just like a little baby. You're just a little baby, you don't know anything, and that's how I feel about people three years old or younger than me. And luckily, it's just like every age I turn, it's just like it just refreshes like the three years, and I'm like, 25? Just graduated a couple years ago, didn't you? New to the industry. Um, but yeah, I don't I don't give a sh about my birthday or age, but again, it's probably just because I'm getting up there. Your friend who's getting up there, guys. Like, who even cares about birthdays anymore? Oh, I'm getting a hair transplant maybe this year, which I don't actually think I like need one, but like, does anyone need a transplant? The answer is yes. Some of you some of you could really benefit from a flight to Turkey. Um, but I think I might do it. Yeah, I'm doing my big transplant um hair. Have a huge surgery in November. Uh, I'm getting a transplant. Um, it's gonna be a whole thing. I actually probably won't ever get a hair transplant, but this is my I used to say this about my nose where I would just be like a nose job. And like obviously I wanted one, but I like there was no truth behind it, but it would just like piss off everyone about it. Like, you don't need a I'm getting a nose job. And so now that's kind of on the shit the shit I'm on with the hair transplant where it's like I probably won't actually get one, but it wouldn't hurt. Um, but I do think it's just uh it's fun to bring up all the time. So yeah, I'm getting a hair transmit in November, which is gonna be insane. I'm choosing like November, December because it's like that's where like not a ton of like there are like a ton of like movies and TV shows that are filming during that time. So I just think it's um a nice time for me as a very busy booked actor. Actor? Why did that sound so uh as a very actor? Sorry, I'm um that's what we how we say to the industry. It's I just think that's like the best time for me as someone who is going to be in a lot of shows this who's gonna be filming most of the rest of the year, probably assuming I haven't booked anything yet, but I just oh it's gonna be busy. Um, but yeah, I'm excited for you guys to see that in my new hair transplant. Um, I feel confident saying that in the comfort of my own podcast, so only 200 of you guys will know about my hair transplant. That's our secret. Um, something I do want to say, I've been wanting to say this for a long time, but I haven't had a podcast. Um why the fuck do y'all have squatty potties? Like, genuinely, like this shit's like that's weird. Like your legs don't need to be like parallel to your nose while you're squeezing one out. Like, there's no like I feel like I'm sitting on a squatty potty right now. It's like Holly just said the chair is about to combust. She's also called me a large animal. Um chair's gonna combust. Hey fatty. Uh something I assume she probably said to me at some point you're big. Anyway, squatty potties. Why are you guys sitting in that position? That just makes like, do you really need that much guidance? Like, if y'all don't eat a fucking fiber one bar and just sit normally, like, genuinely, like, we don't need to like put your Legs up in the clamps. Anyways, that's something I've just been having. I've just needed to get that off my chest. It's just like when I walk into someone's bathroom, I'm like, I see that. I'm like, girl, why are we doing a C-section? I've been like really in like hermit mode. I'm a hermit.

unknown

I think you are a home.

SPEAKER_02

I'm a homebody. Yeah. I really have just like not been like leaving. I love my new house. It's so great. And I just like haven't been leaving. And then even before I moved, I haven't really been leaving. It's just like it's so nice to just like be by yourself. And with Rita. Rita, oh my god, I have skunks. I have fucking skunks at the new house. It's so crazy because I moved to this new area, and like I Rita's gotten sprayed twice. And the first time, like she came and I was like, damn, who's who lit up a J in here? And then my cousin's like, I think that's skunk. And I'm like, oh my god, you're like such a pretty No, that's weed. Skunk. And then uh Rita got skunked about two days later after one of the girls uh so graciously bathed her. Um and then she has she gone skunk three times? I think three times. She did the three P. And then she also rolled in shit. Um and the backyard, it's like fucking huge. The backyard, there's so much, like so many the backyard has so many places for her to hide. Oh yeah, anyway, skunks. These skunks just like supposedly are just like native to this area. What? Why did no one say that before? And so you uh we got these like repellents, repellent sticks, and it's it covers literally everything but the fucking skunk. It's like snakes, weasels, moles, squirrels, bunny rabbits, shih tzues, kidding, um, not skunks. And so when my mom came, we had to like build a fence to keep the skunks out because they were just they would just be in my yard. I saw one the other did I say I saw one like four days ago. Like, what do you mean now I just have to deal with them and I have to like coexist with skunks? No, Rita has been obsessed with pup cups recently, and I'm kind of an almond mom, I'll be honest. Like, I just like don't think kids should have sweets. No, I'm kidding. I'm just like, girl, you don't need my parents would just give our dogs whatever, and in turn they just like beg all the fucking time. And it's also crazy because sometimes I'm like, I'm like really strict with Rita, but then I'm just like, oh no, it's just my parents like literally let our dogs do anything and they are like poorly behaved because of it. Shots fired. My mom listens to every episode. Sorry. Um, but it's true. Like, Bo really you want to talk about Bo? Oh, but Rita has been able to get uh an occasional pup cup, um, which is it's the cutest fucking thing ever. I don't know like who thought of the idea of like a dog lipping a dog whipping a dog lipping whipped cream out of a cup, but that shit hits lipping Rita's lips. Rita has like the most gorgeous lips, and Holly's obsessed with them, and she's like, I wonder what material they're made out of. Like, don't talk about my daughter. What did she say the other day? You're like, oh, I want to have Rita nuggets or something. She said, I want to have Rita jerky. The other day, Rita like jumped up on like a or the other day six months ago. But Rita like jumped up onto like a C and Holly's like, isn't it crazy that like one day she's not gonna be able to jump anymore? Why the fuck would you say that about my daughter to me? Yeah, it's crazy. She's all she's gonna get old and die someday. Ugh, yikes. Anyway, where's your pinky baby? Get your strawberry. I've also started like she's not allowed to come to the backyard anymore. So I have this system where every single time she goes to the backyard, she goes to her kennel, she watches me take one of her favorite toys and puts it in a secret location um that she will never get back unless she's beh well behaved. She hasn't been well behaved, so she's losing. She's like down to her like fifth-tier toys. She's currently um using the chicken leg from her rotisserie chicken Halloween costume. So like shit has like gone south, but she's still being poorly behaved. So we said we're just gonna give her up for adoption. Who wanna? Um, kidding that you would have to take me, take her out of my dying hands. Cold. Oh, I got a tattoo. It's a dumb one. Kidding, it's dumb, but it's not stupid like my other ones. I'll show you. Don't look at my side profile. I'm getting uh no job in a hair strength plate, by the way. It's a look.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Um yeah, so that's the tattoo. I need to put some like Vaseline on that shit. Oh my god. Yeah, for you audio, it's actually so funny because as I was getting the tattoo, it was like in the house and everyone would just like kept walking in, like, oh my god, what are you getting? And I was like, um, it's like a cartoon, like, oh what cartoon? I'm like, yeah, that's okay. It's not not really like a cartoon, it's more of like I don't know how to describe it. It's two pilots. It's two pilots with their like scarves blowing back with their scarves blowing back in the wind. It's like just dumb, but I thought it's kind of fun. And so what that means to me, so my mom is actually a flight attendant. She's actually a flight attendant, and travel has just been like always such a big part of it. No, it means nothing, it's just cool. Um, and I wanted to get one that's like darker shaded because all my other ones are are thinly shaded. I also just had to get something to kind of distract from the lover tattoo. I was actually gonna I like still might do this. Um, but I hate the lover tattoo so much, and I'm like, how can I fix it without getting it removed? Because I think getting a tattoo move, it's like own it, baby. True dialing in fashion. Um, something died a mid mid-shot. And I can't remember what I just said previously, but I think I was like getting into something, but that's it. That's all he wrote. Holly us if I'm sad. I feel like I'm just like I feel like so like lame. I also think just like being in this I hate saying the word industry, I hate saying the word creed or I hate saying the word creative, all this shit, but it feels like oh, it's just I'm like so alright. I'm gonna be really genuine. I'm not gonna look at the camera. No, but I just feel like so lucky to be able to be doing something so creatively, and you guys are to thank for that. I feel like I feel like recently I've been like, oh, you really don't know kind of where your creativity lies until you find it. Like I feel like so many things I had to like learn to love. Like I didn't know that like I had a passion for writing and like even just style and interior design. I feel like all these things like I have like a deep passion for, but I didn't know for so long. And so I feel like I'm so glad I was able to be creative and like kind of find the things that I really enjoy doing and like that I'm very passionate about. And even with this podcast, I did enjoy doing it so much, but I'm like, oh shit, I like love writing question mark, but I didn't know that was a thing, and I think just like continuing to do things that are like different, and I feel again like with every fail, it's just like rejection is redirection. But I hope you guys like genuinely I feel so inspired by all of you guys and by the two girls behind the camera, and I just like am so excited about my career, and I think that's also something that like I mean I love doing social media, but like it has gotten to a point where it's like this feels very much like a job, which I'm very grateful to have a job and a very fun job that has a lot of perks, but I also think like being able to find something within this job that I like really enjoy doing and doesn't feel like a ton of work and like comes naturally to me. Like, I think I'm just like so grateful for that, and I think with again without this podcast, none of this would have really happened. Um and so I'm very grateful for starting the podcast. I'm also grateful for ending the podcast just because I am so excited, but I also do feel horrible. I do feel horrible for the 200 of you guys who actually listened because like that means a fucking world to me. The fact that you like enjoy hearing me talk is a bizarre thing that I still haven't really wrapped my brain around. Um but yeah, like I hope I hope you guys do what you love. Cut. Um this is the final farewell. Obviously, I'm still gonna continue to post a fuck ton online, and that's not gonna change. Hopefully you guys will continue to see me, maybe even like I don't know, on like a bigger screen, or like maybe something that I wrote. And when you see that, just know he had to quit the podcast so he could do this. Um, but really I am like this was such a fun experience, and I feel like I'm just like such a character online, and people don't usually like know that it's a character and then think I'm kind of a bad person. But it's fun to have you guys who I feel like maybe actually like kind of know where my heart and head is at. And if you don't, then we're fucked. And yeah, people just won't get it. Um, which is fine too. But yeah, Holly Bailey, do you guys have any closing remarks?

SPEAKER_01

I just want to say, Brett, that when we put up that wallpaper in your garage, only to take it down a few short months later. And it for it to like permanently destroy the interior of the garage, which we didn't get docked for from our that was another thing that you should have to repaint the whole garage after the wood paneling wallpaper tore all of the paint off. It was worth it. All the mosquito bites that we got in your garage, all the Facebook marketplace, the hot flashes, the sliding out from under the garage door. Um your sneaky link joining us for one episode. Um you flirting with some guests, you not having much interest in some of the other guests. Um you deleting the whole episode of the podcast that was fully edited that one time.

SPEAKER_02

Oops. And I oop. What guests do you think I flirted with the most and what guests do you think I was the least interested in?

SPEAKER_01

You flirted with the firefighter.

SPEAKER_02

You flirted with me, by the way.

SPEAKER_01

And you didn't care about it.

SPEAKER_02

I feel like we can talk about what was the one episode that we just Oh the the Amazon delivery driver. Why did we cut that? Because we we need to talk about the Amazon delivery driver. What happened to that? I like genuinely forgot. Anyway, um, what happened with the Amazon delivery driver?

SPEAKER_01

What happened with the Amazon delivery driver was that Bailey did can I like say this? Yeah, you can say Well, just the call, let's just say like the call was like so all the guests were like so amazing and like normal and well spoken. And then there was one call that was like, wait, what? And there just wasn't much chemistry between the two of you, such as you couldn't hear each other, we couldn't hear them. General lack of chemistry. So with every 15 guests with chemistry that you had, there was one that there was just no chemistry at all.

SPEAKER_02

And that's and that's gonna happen. I really was impressed with like hold for playing. We're just gonna hold for playing here for a second. Sorry. Um you guys are fine, you can just crank the shit up for a second. Just turn the shit up on your earpods. Um, but we really did get really good guests. But I remember like during the Amazon delivery one, like off, I would be like, Yeah, and then be like, what do we like? Do we are we gonna keep going? Can we use this? Also, something that was so funny is just like how willing and able people were to first of all like say their like name, which like location they work at, and then also be like, Yeah, I hate the job, I'm probably gonna leave soon. And I'm like, you literally don't have to tell us you don't uh you don't have to tell us anything you don't come feel comfortable saying. Like, no, no, like they just like gave information very freely, and I don't even think that was like I can't even give myself credit as like an interviewer to be like I got that out of them. It came, they were just like willing to talk. It's like, hey, do you wanna come? Maybe it's because the stakes were so low, they're like honestly, like ha ha ha ha I crunched the numbers, the odds of my boss listening to this are very, very low. But who would you say your favorite guest was?

SPEAKER_01

I loved the AMC employee. Like I thought she was so fun, and also I just as an AMC like frequent user, even though their prices are going up$2 a month starting in June. Um I thought she was so fun. I thought the geneticist was very cool. I feel like we learned a lot.

SPEAKER_02

I think that's what I'm thinking about. I was gonna say there was one person or like I learned so much in one of the episodes, and now I can't remember which episode or anything I learned. Wait, no, that was the one where I asked about Noah's art, right? Yeah, that one was fun. He was good and smart and also funny. We never did quite figure out like how to like set up the camera, how to record, how to like audio, attach audio to a clip.

SPEAKER_01

Like you would think that that's something that you would have learned after like 25 episodes, still don't know how to use the tripod, don't know how to like pause the audio, don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Well, it's also funny because I was like, honestly, like we learned so much doing this, and then I'm like, well, I guess like nothing technically. It's also funny because first of all, shout out Sure. That's what mics we've been using this entire time. A um they did send us a good amount of stuff as we are wrapping up this, but there will be more opportunities that we will use those products, and we are very grateful for them. Um but it is funny, it's like season two coming back, and they're like, oh my god, let's get you set up. Well, and right now, also it's like they set us up fat. We have the camera sitting on a suitcase right now, but that's because that's just because they're missing a piece, and that's not sure's fault. Anyways, thank you, sure. This episode sponsored by Shur.

SPEAKER_01

I also want to say when you say like it no production company like picked it up, like that was the whole point. Like you didn't try ever. Your whole thing was that you didn't want it to be picked up by a production company. So you're like, yeah, no one picked it up, but it's fine. Yeah, like of course they didn't. We didn't want that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I also feel like I wouldn't have been able to say half of the things I said if this was attached to anyone. So yeah, we actually, yeah, that is a good point. I'm like, yeah, I want to say in like, guys, it's fine. Like, and I'm like, wait, no, actually, yeah, we didn't we led with like we don't want it to get picked up.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Grass to grass to grassroots efforts, farm to table ass podcast, blue collar podcast. Do I look like busted? Do I look like I need a hair transplant? Always baby.

SPEAKER_00

My mic has dust all over it.

SPEAKER_02

Hey.

SPEAKER_00

Like clumps that are going down my throat.

SPEAKER_02

Um, what are some other BTS things that they wouldn't have seen?

SPEAKER_00

Not much. You let everything go into the podcast, which is awesome.

SPEAKER_02

Um share.

SPEAKER_00

We're actually partnering with um imagine you're like, we actually got a sponsorship with Audio Chuck. We're gonna be on Crime Junkies production company.

SPEAKER_02

We got picked up by Spotify. Oh, I meant to say, yeah, we're doing this, but it's just gonna be on Spotify.

SPEAKER_00

We actually got a spot with Freebie. We will be telecasting live.

SPEAKER_01

Uh something that I always thought was funny was when the podcast would be recorded over a duration of days. Oh my god. And you would have to like look at the camera to see what you were wearing, and just all the like um inconsistencies with lighting, and that's another thing we never quite figured out.

SPEAKER_02

It never really looked good. No, but like you guys don't care about that.

SPEAKER_01

I would love to take like a podcast 101 course. We should host that in your backyard.

SPEAKER_02

But we w have no knowledge about anything. Are they so they're teaching us?

SPEAKER_01

Well, maybe we could teach them what we do know.

SPEAKER_02

Let's go to I want to go to like a business conference. I don't know like for what I don't actually like. Well, now we don't want to learn about the podcast because we don't care. Not that we ever like took initiative. Yeah, I want to go to a Midwest leadership summit. I need to get head. I need to get my TP at a global leadership conference. I did, I missed going. I something so funny is I don't know if I ever talked about DECA on this, but like I was I had a position in like the DECA board at my school. I don't even know what the fuck DECA is.

SPEAKER_01

I was in DECA as well.

SPEAKER_02

And also I went to multiple conferences. I like bought I had to get like two suits for them that fit me horribly and never did anything about that. And then like some people presented. I don't even know what they were presenting. I would never present, which I don't know how I they were like, okay, if you do it for a third year, you have to present. So I just didn't do it. My senior year because I'm like, Priscilla, what are we presenting? Who's buying, like, what was it just like random business? Like, why are kids willingly like, okay, so like on top of school, I'm just gonna do this thing where I could at best get a fucking ribbon, and I also have to do like a business proposal. Like, I'm like, y'all, you guys can just be like the social media chair and just like go to the things and not present.

SPEAKER_01

Social media chair wasn't a thing.

SPEAKER_02

I posted on the Twitter when we I literally posted on the Twitter once a week. It was like, hey, meeting in the library at seven.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, you were the social media chair.

SPEAKER_02

Maybe I was the social media chair.

SPEAKER_01

Oh.

SPEAKER_02

There was no social media chair. It was me. Um, yeah, so I've always been kind of interested in kind of social media and just like I don't know, um, marketing, I guess. My marketing brain going crazy.

SPEAKER_01

Do you feel like there's anything in your career that you actually use your marketing brain for?

SPEAKER_02

Like, no, like nothing, but at the same time, everything. Say it with that. Yes and no. Um, what's the shit that you always say where it's like just completely a little bit, yes, but also not really. No, not really, no. Yes or no. We were just talking about just like getting the vegas responses for like things you need a just direct like yes or no. It's like, um, shouldn't be. And I guess I made that video about that. But we got one yesterday, it was a very like important thing, and it said they were like, not really no.

SPEAKER_01

It was, will this have a big impact on my money that I owe for taxes? Not really, no.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. Yeah. So I'm not doing anything about it. So I stopped caring about that. But um, wait, what were you saying? Any regrets I have uh in what?

SPEAKER_01

Regrets. What'd you say? I asked when you use your marketing brain in your job.

SPEAKER_02

Um, my regrets. It's like guy who just wants to talk about his regrets. Um, no, I do feel like no. Like, obviously, nothing that I actually learned, but I guess like I kind of are you like a marketing girly in a different life?

SPEAKER_01

Like, are you working for Road, like making the phone cases that you put the boss in?

SPEAKER_02

No, in a different ri life, I'm working for like a company to make some like a pretty like pretty bad commercials, I feel like. Like I'm sitting around Yeah, I'm sitting around a table. With like seven people who are pretty unfunny, and I'm trying to like save this Nissan Ultima commercial, but it's just not gonna work.

SPEAKER_01

In every movie, that's what marketing is presented as.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. But so yeah, so no, I guess. But then I guess I am marketing myself, but I'm like, is that just like that's just a word? Like we all are marketing ourselves, so no, you don't go to college, it's not worth it.

SPEAKER_01

It's really not.

SPEAKER_02

It's really not at all. Except for like to get a real job, then you do kind of usually need it, which sucks.

SPEAKER_01

Would you like um as a University of Iowa alumni, if like five people reached out to you wanting like career advice, but one of them went to the University of Iowa, would you give them like would you pay more attention to them? I'm just seeing like what it means to be like an alumni.

SPEAKER_02

I'm just like trying to gauge what being an alum, alumni from the same school as you would look like.

SPEAKER_01

Well, because people act like that's like oh, we have a network of alums.

SPEAKER_02

I'm sinking into this couch. I'm becoming one of the things.

SPEAKER_01

So I just want to know if the University of Iowa Yeah, I would say I've hawks down, hawks till the day I fucking die.

SPEAKER_02

I if you don't bleed black and gold, take your bitch ass home, which is a genuinely a t-shirt you could buy outside of like tailgates, which I needed, which I need in um a youth large, but uh yeah, I would probably pay more mind to a fellow alum. So fill my DMs if you're from University of Iowa and you want some huge connects.

SPEAKER_01

What if they're four women and the University of Iowa alum is a male?

SPEAKER_02

Is he gay?

SPEAKER_01

Unclear.

SPEAKER_02

I was gonna say something, but it would just need to be caught anyway, so I'm not gonna. Um wait, he's an alum, so I can say that. I was gonna say, okay, sounds hot. It's unclear if he's straight, smash.

SPEAKER_01

Um you would be helping four women. What are you trying who are not alum?

SPEAKER_02

So you're in this episode, we're saying goodbye.

SPEAKER_01

Like goodbye.

SPEAKER_02

It's like I just want to see if it being an alumni or being a woman holds more weight to you. It becomes a Jubilee video.

SPEAKER_01

Since you're not doing the podcast, we're gonna do Jubilee videos and host them here.

SPEAKER_02

I'm so sad. I did make a funny video about Jubilee videos, just about like the insanity of like the group of people in situations. It did not do well. I'm very, very, very upset with the performance. Um, and I'm bummed, and you guys too, that you guys didn't show up for me in a way that I expected you to. Okay, I'm sure all 200 of you guys did. Um, I'm done saying 200. It you guys like are so much more than that to me. And the more that I bring you.

SPEAKER_01

My most recent episode had two million downloads.

SPEAKER_02

That's true. Don't like it.

SPEAKER_01

Like, that's what he's not saying. Is that overall there were over seven million downloads on the podcast? Minus four zero.

SPEAKER_02

Minus six point seven. There's no way I bro, I almost just fucking six seven on my last episode.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02

My dying wish for the podcast is that you hit the gritty. Alright, now we're just being stupid. Now we're just having fun. Alright, you guys, get out of here. Hey. Imagine these are car keys and you just turn 16. Catch.
