Summer House, Travel, and Why He’s Not Missing ft. Husband Nate

Let me just start here: Nate is alive, well, and was never in a basement. I don’t know why that rumor needed to be addressed, but apparently it did.

This episode has absolutely no structure, no agenda, and honestly no reason to make sense. We start with Summer House because of course we do, spiral into travel updates, take a hard left into music debates that did not need to happen, and somehow end up unpacking what life has actually looked like lately behind the scenes.

There are strong opinions, unnecessary arguments, moments where we both fully lose the plot, and at least three times where we probably should have stopped talking… but didn’t.

It’s giving pop culture, relationship banter, random tangents, and just enough chaos to make you question how we got from one topic to the next.

Nothing was edited. Nothing was filtered. Everything was said anyway.

If you’ve ever had one of those conversations where you leave thinking “what did we even just talk about”… this is that.

Hi. Sorry, I'm dancing to the music. I have the theme music going on in my head right now. Oh, dude. Fun.

You haven't been on the pod in a while.

SPEAKER_04 1:10

It's been a while. It's been a hot second.

SPEAKER_01 1:12

I think people might think maybe the little gremlins out there think that you can't come on the podcast anymore because of work. Do you want to clarify that to them? That you've just been busy. You didn't get in trouble.

SPEAKER_04 1:23

No, I didn't get in trouble. Not by my wife. No. My wife has been very, very kind to me lately, thank God. Right.

SPEAKER_01 1:29

No, I mean, did you didn't get you didn't get in trouble from your job. And that's the reason why you haven't been on the podcast. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:36

No. Nothing like that. No, it's literally just been I've been busy.

SPEAKER_01 1:39

You've been busy, okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:39

Yeah, I just haven't been able to show up to these. I've been busy working, you know, at points.

SPEAKER_01 1:44

We're squashing rumors. People have asked.

SPEAKER_04 1:46

Oh, people have asked?

SPEAKER_01 1:47

People have asked.

SPEAKER_04 1:47

Okay, guys. Hey, Name's okay. I'm fine. I'm fine. I swear I'm not hidden in a basement somewhere. She didn't lock me away yet.

SPEAKER_01 1:54

I have not chopped him up and uh fed him to uh livestock. Yeah, not yet. So we kind of have like battle of the bands going on right now.

SPEAKER_03 2:03

Um I mean if you call it a battle.

SPEAKER_01 2:05

It's a battle. I have a Swifty sweatshirt on, and you have Nickelback.

SPEAKER_04 2:09

Nickelback, baby, high time. Greatest, one of the greatest bands of all time.

SPEAKER_01 2:14

I I would say Nickelback is one of the greatest bands of all time. I love Nickelback.

SPEAKER_04 2:17

We were talking about this. They're one of the highest selling, too. I gotta look this up.

SPEAKER_01 2:21

And Nate has a tendency to just say things are like the highest selling or the top movie, and you're like, okay, so he has to look up facts. I need a primary source document to authenticate this. We watched Tiny Desk last night. What was your favorite song that she did?

SPEAKER_04 2:35

Lover, probably.

SPEAKER_01 2:37

Because that's the one I skipped.

SPEAKER_04 2:38

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 2:42

I did. I just like I can't co-sign on like a Joe Allwyn love song, you know?

SPEAKER_04 2:45

It's like Especially uh during the Travis Kelsey era.

SPEAKER_01 2:48

It is the Travis Kelsey era.

SPEAKER_04 2:50

Yeah, yeah. That was P what was it? BTK.

SPEAKER_01 2:53

That's what you said.

SPEAKER_04 2:54

Before Taylor K Travis Kelsey. Before Taylor Kelsey, too.

SPEAKER_01 2:56

Do you think she'll change her name?

SPEAKER_04 2:58

No.

SPEAKER_01 2:58

Absolutely not.

SPEAKER_04 2:59

Well, legally, maybe she might, but she'll never change Taylor Swift. Like, I don't know how she feels about that kind of thing, but like she will never present herself as anything other than Taylor Swift.

SPEAKER_01 3:09

Yes, I agree with that.

SPEAKER_04 3:10

Yeah. Her her ID, who who the hell cares? You know, it might be she might change it.

SPEAKER_01 3:16

I mean, half of the people that we know, they don't have their real name, their real names. The names that we know them as is not their names on their ID.

SPEAKER_04 3:22

Yeah, because it's so hard to like change your name and everything. And if you don't have a kid as a woman, like you barely really need it, because really that's mainly for like travel. Um, they check that stuff when you travel with a kid.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

We really need to ask Dave Cruz to see his ID. Because I know damn well that's not his name.

SPEAKER_04 3:39

You don't think it's his last name?

SPEAKER_01 3:40

No, I don't even know if his first name is Dave. But I know for sure that Cruz is not his last name.

SPEAKER_04 3:46

Really?

SPEAKER_01 3:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:48

Why?

SPEAKER_01 3:48

I don't because Cruz sounds Dave Cruz? Dave Cruz. That's it sounds like he made it up. Shall we ask?

SPEAKER_04 3:54

Yeah, it does sound like he made it up, but it's a really good.

SPEAKER_01 3:56

Let's ask him.

SPEAKER_04 3:57

It's a really good radio name. I mean, Nate Weaver. I've always been told that it's a great radio name. I didn't make it up.

SPEAKER_01 4:02

It is, but that doesn't sound like you made it up. Like Nate Weaver, that sounds like, oh, he was born.

SPEAKER_04 4:07

I mean, it's still like an adject.

SPEAKER_01 4:10

Wow.

SPEAKER_04 4:11

It was only one ring. Ring him again. Do it again.

SPEAKER_01 4:14

Do you think it's just one more time?

SPEAKER_04 4:15

Just for sometimes it just yeah, because he might be on Do Not Disturbed.

SPEAKER_01 4:19

He's gonna text me and be like, stop calling.

SPEAKER_04 4:24

Oh, we got a second ring. I told you.

SPEAKER_01 4:27

And no text follow-up.

SPEAKER_04 4:30

Come on, Dave.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

I know he doesn't have plans. It is five o'clock on a Tuesday night.

SPEAKER_04 4:34

Well, unless he's like shooting tires or something.

SPEAKER_01 4:37

Oh, he could be shooting.

SPEAKER_04 4:38

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what he does on the weekdays when he's not here.

SPEAKER_01 4:41

I don't know what Dave does outside of hanging out with us. Now he's gonna be blocked. So that was the last time we ever heard from Dave Cruz. He'll never be on the podcast again.

SPEAKER_04 4:50

He's probably training for Hunks and Hounds.

SPEAKER_01 4:51

He's probably training for Hunks and Hounds.

SPEAKER_04 4:53

Yeah, he's gotta get he's gotta get ripped.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

Yeah, he's gotta do that.

SPEAKER_04 4:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:56

It's coming up.

SPEAKER_04 4:56

It is coming up soon.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

It's coming up. Feel adoptables.

SPEAKER_04 4:59

I think uh I think usually September or something they released the calendar.

SPEAKER_01 5:02

Is that when the calendar is released? I went, oh we I got sick last year, so I didn't go to the launch party, the release party for the calendar. Remember? Oh, I had a sore throat. I distinctly remember how bad I felt. Not because I missed it for my friend, but because of how bad I felt like physically.

SPEAKER_04 5:18

Oh, physically?

SPEAKER_01 5:19

Yeah, like I was dying.

SPEAKER_04 5:20

Not that you weren't, you know, giving back to the dog community. It was physically that you your throat just hurt.

SPEAKER_01 5:26

Yeah. Okay. Because like I can donate monetarily to the dogs. And I adopted a dog off the street.

SPEAKER_04 5:32

So it's not just the dogs, it's the hunks that need the money too.

SPEAKER_01 5:35

They need the money. They need it. They need it just as much as the hounds do.

SPEAKER_04 5:40

They better be getting paid if they're posting shirtless, you know. That's what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 5:43

Well, I think Dave had said, allegedly, that when you work on television and link film sets, you get paid X amount of money if you take your shirt off. Yes. And then an extra X amount of money if you do full. Yes. And no one's ever asked him to do full nude. Yeah. I said, why would that?

SPEAKER_04 6:04

Is that a compliment or an insult?

SPEAKER_01 6:06

An insult because he's trying to make money. That was him. Let's talk about Summer House. We're heading up to the reunion. Things are happening. Audio's being leaked. We're very close to the situation. And we're close to the atmosphere of Bravo. Like we're close to this.

SPEAKER_04 6:27

Agreed. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:28

Me, maybe a little bit more so than you. Sure. Tell me your perspective on the West Amanda Sierra of it all. Tell me your thoughts.

SPEAKER_04 6:38

West Playboy right now. Like I get it. Allegedly. Well, okay. Allegedly, but also it's not like we haven't seen him hooking up with girls consistently. It's not like he wasn't he's been open about like he was seeing a girl during the summer and stuff like that. They just showed it on the show this past week, saying him saying, like, oh yeah, I'm seeing this girl consistently out in Kentucky or whatever.

SPEAKER_02 6:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:58

Um, but at the same point, you know, we're at the point where I think the only reason people are upset is because they lied, not because Wes is with Amanda, not because Kyle is acting hurt, not because they disrespected Sierra on X amount of level. I think it's really just people don't like that they lied about it, and that's why they're getting so much heat, and that's just leading into, well, you should have done this, you should have done that, you should have told me this, then, there, they, why? And it's just like, okay, shoulda, coulda, woulda. Like, what do you do now?

SPEAKER_01 7:33

Snake in the fucking grass. Snake in the grass. Snake in the grass. That line was awesome. And you know she was, you know, Sierra was thinking about that line before maybe like a when did they know about their the uh relationship? I almost said affair. It feels like an affair, right? Yeah, but it's not keep in mind, it's not an affair. It's not an affair. These were two single consenting adults, but the way the lie, I guess, is why it's icky. And the fact that Amanda and Sierra were such close friends that it's like Right.

SPEAKER_04 8:02

I mean, okay, let's keep in mind, but uh in my head though, Sierra stayed away from Wes the whole goddamn summer.

SPEAKER_01 8:09

She did. Like she was not scared to be his friend. She said that.

SPEAKER_04 8:13

And that's and that's fine. That's your prerogative during that thousand percent. Unfortunately, we saw them make up in this one of these last episodes, and like that looked like they were on a good note and stuff like that. But at the same point, we gotta remember they were just friends when they made up.

SPEAKER_01 8:28

Yeah, they weren't dating, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:30

They weren't dating, they're not going together, they're not their special person. No, they're just hanging out, and that's how everybody in that house typically has to be.

SPEAKER_01 8:40

Yeah, because I mean this is not the first season where we've seen a relationship kind of like falter or something happen. It's just the first time that we as fans have taken it so hard. So hard. It's yeah, it's almost difficult to communicate like my feelings about it, and it's also difficult to uh have the conversations with the cast members too, because everyone has an opinion. Everyone has an opinion, but everybody's trying to keep themselves together until the reunion airs. But that's like audio is being leaked left and right, though.

SPEAKER_04 9:12

So we still got like I don't know, we still got time, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:16

So um Andy, what what's up? Are you freaking out? He you know he's like sweating every single day. Oh, absolutely. Like just panicked that something else is gonna come out.

SPEAKER_04 9:25

There's some extra, extra dry deodorant on those armpits during the reunion, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_01 9:30

1000%. Well, allegedly it started eight, no, sorry, six a.m. went till eight p.m.

SPEAKER_04 9:37

Holy crap. Well, then you gotta think about it. They're only using what 40 minutes, maybe two 40-minute clips.

SPEAKER_01 9:45

Someone put out a thread and they said, at Bravo, Andy, I would pay extra in my peacocks peacock subscription to watch the full unedited reunion. And he said, on it.

SPEAKER_04 9:56

That's actually a great idea.

SPEAKER_01 9:57

That I would pay for that.

SPEAKER_04 9:58

I would too.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

I would pay for that in a second.

SPEAKER_04 10:00

Yeah, I think that's a great like up subscription or like just like a one-off, like, oh, pay five dollars. And I I would do that. I would pay five dollars to watch eight hours of this footage.

SPEAKER_01 10:09

Yes, yeah, yes, no, I I completely agree. So when we're thinking about like the Amanda and Sierra West, and I guess Kyle, I just keep forgetting that Kyle's a part of this, quite frankly, just because Kyle's so Kyle.

SPEAKER_04 10:22

True.

SPEAKER_01 10:22

And he only worries about Carl. Kyle only cares about Carl.

SPEAKER_04 10:26

Carl was a mess, guys. I I just can't get over it. Carl, I hope he's doing well. Carl, if you're out there, I love you, man. I support you. Hope soft bar's going well.

SPEAKER_01 10:36

That was really cute. Thanks. He was my friend. He was he was your friend then.

SPEAKER_04 10:40

He was my friend. Yeah, I'm sure we'll we'll meet again, Carl. I'm looking at you straight into the camera. I'll see you soon, buddy. Hopefully. Maybe. I don't know. We'll we'll run into each other again at some point. Maybe we'll uh even be able to see the podcast studio again. That'd be cool.

SPEAKER_01 10:54

Yeah, that would be so cool. More life with Carl Redke.

SPEAKER_04 10:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:57

Um we're thinking about like that friend group dynamic and then them dating. It's obviously a big problem that Amanda and Sierra were friends, and now Amanda's dating West, Sierra's ex. Is that weird for guys? Is it as territorial for girls in your experience?

SPEAKER_04 11:17

Okay, because I wasn't around during the West Sierra period, how tight were they? Were they actually like exclusively dating? Because I've heard rumors that they weren't.

SPEAKER_01 11:27

I think they it was I don't know if there was a label on it, but he brought her home. He brought her home to meet his family.

SPEAKER_04 11:34

So I don't count that as as tight enough.

SPEAKER_01 11:37

No.

SPEAKER_04 11:37

No, I think that is still, especially in a West situation, that's still kind of a fling. Taking a girl home to your parents, like, yes, it can be a big deal, but for some people it's really not.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

That's that's true.

SPEAKER_04 11:49

It's really not. And they just might think, oh yeah, my parents' house is dope. Like, let's go over there and like have dinner, and you're my really good friend, but we're having sex, so let's go hang out with them.

SPEAKER_02 11:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:58

And stuff like that. I don't think it's that big of a deal. Um, so yeah, no, if if that was happening with a friend and then like three years later they got with somebody else that was they also knew, I guess, it wouldn't be that big of a deal, I don't think.

SPEAKER_01 12:13

I I guess I just don't feel like guys get as weirded out by it. Like the fact that Dara was West's girlfriend at one point and now she's dating KJ. It's like, okay, what one, I love them. I love KJ and Dara together, but like West was fine with it.

SPEAKER_04 12:30

West didn't care.

SPEAKER_01 12:31

He didn't care, but again, the lie. The reason why people are upset is because of the lie.

SPEAKER_04 12:35

And also that he called out Jesse at the beginning for like hitting on Sierra being a bed bug. Mm-hmm. That that kind of rubs me the wrong way. But I also will say at that point, we don't know if even West and Sierra were talking at all in any way, shape, or West and Amanda were talking at all in any way, shape, or form. So, like, he might have been focused on Sierra at that time. And he we saw he was focused on Sierra for like the first six weeks. This man was obsessed.

SPEAKER_01 13:00

He sat on her, he sat on her, and then he sat on Amanda.

SPEAKER_04 13:04

Yes, but it sounds like he did that to Amanda after he knew it was over with Sarah. And it sounded like Sierra made it very clear throughout the whole season she did not want to be with West.

SPEAKER_01 13:14

Yeah, yeah. This is all this is it's messy, and I'm excited to keep watching it. I'm also really excited to see Jesse at the reunion because I feel like he's just gonna have the most outlandish commentary. Like, also, like Jesse Solomon Hyde. This is my public apology to you. Like, I'm sorry, I don't know what I did to you, but I'll take a Pinot Grigio um at the non-alcoholic softbar bar. Um, we got off on the wrong foot, me and Jesse. So I'm really no pun intended. No pun intended. I'm trying to get past all of that, and I just want us to be friendly and social settings. So that's it.

SPEAKER_04 13:54

So get us all star.

SPEAKER_01 13:56

Falling in love.

SPEAKER_04 13:57

There it is. Right in a song feeling good, like I'm supposed to be, right? Something like that. It's good.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

It's good. It's catchy.

SPEAKER_04 14:07

And he just had his first show in Philly the other day.

SPEAKER_01 14:09

He did have his first show in Philly. It was weird seeing like high school friends be at this show, and I was like, Yeah. What? Where was it? The Met, maybe?

SPEAKER_04 14:16

It was either that or I don't think probably TLA.

SPEAKER_01 14:20

Oh, TLA. I thought maybe City Winery.

SPEAKER_04 14:22

It could be City Winery. It was a smaller venue like that. Yes, we have. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:27

Where where were we?

SPEAKER_04 14:28

For uh the uh social media masters awards back in like 2024.

SPEAKER_01 14:33

Renew was there. Yeah. And the chicken wasn't cooked.

SPEAKER_04 14:36

The chicken wasn't cooked.

SPEAKER_01 14:37

I remember that, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 14:38

And I lost to Travis and Donna Kelsey.

SPEAKER_01 14:41

Imagine being up for an award, and then you see it's the cows.

SPEAKER_04 14:45

You see, you see when we when we were nominated for the award, we could see the brands and companies that were nominated, not the actual like campaigns. So I walked in there, I'm like, okay, I'm up against Airmark. There's a very small chance that I win because it's freaking Airmark. Then I found out that Airmark spent the money to have Travis Kelsey and Donna Kelsey bake cookies for this campaign, and I just sat, there was no way. I mean, it's like I don't I I don't even know what to compare it to. I I just got run over by a train, basically, and they were the train. It was the Kelsey Choo-Choo train.

SPEAKER_01 15:18

Speaking of that, do you know when people say, like, oh, got hit by a Mac truck? You know that Mac trucks are like real trucks.

SPEAKER_04 15:24

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

Yeah. I thought Mac was just makeup, but I didn't know they made trucks. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 15:29

You remember uh cars? Uh the big truck is literally named Mac.

SPEAKER_01 15:33

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 15:33

They name them Mac.

SPEAKER_01 15:34

See, I don't remember movies like that vividly.

SPEAKER_04 15:36

Oh, I love Hercules.

SPEAKER_01 15:37

I remember Herbie Fully Loaded. That was a car movie. That one you remember? Yeah, with Lindsay Lohan? Yeah. You've seen it?

SPEAKER_04 15:45

Yes, I've seen Herbie. I've seen the old Herbys too. I I didn't know there were multiple. Herbie the Love Bug. It was like they started back in like the 70s.

SPEAKER_01 15:52

Oh, really? No, had no idea. I thought Lindsay Lohan created it.

SPEAKER_04 15:55

Definitely.

SPEAKER_01 15:55

Just like she did pop culture.

SPEAKER_04 15:57

No, no, she was like probably the 10th Herbie movie.

SPEAKER_01 16:00

Really?

SPEAKER_04 16:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

What else was I did I watch as a kid? Stuart Little. I watched that. Why'd they adopt they adopted him as if he were like a real kid? And then the whole movie no one ever says like he's he's a mouse or brat or whatever it is. Yeah, that freaked me out of the kid. I didn't like that.

SPEAKER_04 16:17

So you didn't like that people just weren't recognizing he was a mouse?

SPEAKER_01 16:20

Yeah. Okay. Like you need to recognize that he's uh he's not a human.

SPEAKER_04 16:24

He wasn't, you're right. And they were flicking him all over the place and stuff, too.

SPEAKER_01 16:27

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:28

So I mean, that's sort of child abuse.

SPEAKER_01 16:30

Yeah, yeah. You think about it, it's not a great film, really deep down.

SPEAKER_04 16:35

When you break it down into the literal meanings of everything we're talking about with inside Storyt Little, they're just abusing a a child or a mouse.

SPEAKER_01 16:43

Yeah, it's like Tom and Jerry. Did you watch Tom and Jerry as well? Of course I did. I felt terrified for Jerry all the time.

SPEAKER_04 16:47

Really?

SPEAKER_01 16:48

Yeah. Because I was like, Tom is so mean.

SPEAKER_04 16:50

Tom was mean.

SPEAKER_01 16:51

Tom was so mean.

SPEAKER_04 16:52

That was the point though, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:53

And there is now looking back, I actually saw a TikTok the other day and they didn't have sound in Tom and Jerry.

SPEAKER_04 16:59

They have music.

SPEAKER_01 17:00

Just music. I thought there was a storyline as a kid, but I guess there is, but just not verbal. And in my head, I thought they had voices.

SPEAKER_04 17:07

Yeah, no, it was uh it's all like physical comedy, uh, reactionary comedy, and they do use they'll use the music to have like thuds in them almost, so that like if they hit a wall, you can hear it, you can see it hit the wall and hear the wall hit, but it's part of the music. Yeah, it's so interesting. Yeah, but uh they they do that because uh it was originally like black and white, and you used to have to record an orchestra over the uh the flip book for the cartoon.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

Yeah, look at this, guys. We're getting a history lesson.

SPEAKER_04 17:40

It's like yeah, that's how they the first movies and like TV shows and stuff, when you would go to the theaters, they'd have actual live like musicians playing there because they didn't have recordings back then of like like high-quality recordings.

SPEAKER_01 17:51

You love movies and cinema.

SPEAKER_04 17:53

I do, and the only reason I know that is because they're starting to do like like the Marvel movies, Titanic stores. You told me this. You yes, I feel like we've had this conversation on the Philadelphia Orchestra will literally play like the music to these big, big movies that are world-renowned for their music and for their soundtrack. They'll play like the Philadelphia Orchestra will play live with the movie over it, like at the Camel Center.

SPEAKER_01 18:17

Damn, I saw that they did, was it about a year and a half ago, they did a candlelight um experience Philadelphia Orchestra, and it was all Taylor Swift. No way. Yeah, and it was I think it had to be a candlelight dinner or something. But yeah, and it was all Taylor Swift, and I heard enchanted from it, and it was like really killer. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 18:33

I mean, the Philadelphia Orchestra is one of the best, too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:36

They really in terms of or the the words, in terms of orchestras. Um also I'm on a diet diet? No, I'm on a Dr. Pepper kick these days. We can't keep it in stock fast enough at the house.

SPEAKER_04 18:48

No, yeah, we get like the six-pack of the mini cans, and you make your dirty sodas like once a day.

SPEAKER_01 18:53

I love a dirty soda. We got our friends into them too. Everyone seemed to like them.

SPEAKER_04 18:57

Yeah, we gotta bring Swig up here. Swig has to make its way.

SPEAKER_01 19:01

I'm trying to uh get more soda shops just to come up here, even if it's not Swig. And I was telling you earlier, there's one in Delaware that opens. So there's one in Delaware in North Wilmington. We're coming for you. We will be there. And then we're gonna like try to get him as a sponsor on the pod as well.

SPEAKER_04 19:18

I would love that.

SPEAKER_01 19:18

Speaking of, okay, so I wasn't gonna talk about it, but we're gonna talk about it. We're gonna talk about the criminals. The criminals.

SPEAKER_04 19:24

The criminals.

SPEAKER_01 19:28

I uh I I made a friend. And uh I he's he's not from here. He's he's not from here. He's not from here. We met online.

SPEAKER_04 19:42

He lives in Canada, I swear you don't know him.

SPEAKER_01 19:45

We thought we were gonna do some business together. And I had a couple meetings, just like preliminary meetings. I see some products, some brand samples, things like that, and I think, okay, like he's him and his team, they've got something here. They've got something here. And I thought, what's his last name? Have his phone number, have his email, and there's no last name. So I think, alright, I'm gonna reverse search with a number to find it. No, not listed. Not listed it anywhere. So I say, okay, what do I know about this person? How can I figure this out? Now it's a challenge. Now I just gotta figure it out. It took a half hour or so. Did some digging. I found his name. Brought it to my husband, sweet dear name, and I say, This is the person I'm gonna go into business with. Nate, do you do you wanna say what he did?

SPEAKER_04 20:38

Oh, you defrauded the United States government.

SPEAKER_01 20:40

Out of millions and millions and millions of dollars, not just once.

SPEAKER_04 20:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:45

But twice.

SPEAKER_04 20:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:47

Twice.

SPEAKER_04 20:47

Yeah. We couldn't find any conviction or anything like that. More than likely there was a plea deal.

SPEAKER_02 20:51

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 20:52

But uh that is that is true. We found all of the uh the whole United States versus insert name name here, um, and the opinion from the actual district judge who tried the case and was going through it. So it's a real thing.

SPEAKER_01 21:07

A real thing. And I'm a little disappointed because it there is money signs in my eyes from from these conversations. But leave it to me, right? Were you surprised by this?

SPEAKER_04 21:19

You know, when I dug deeper into it, this was like 30, 35 years ago that this happened.

SPEAKER_01 21:25

And in and in 2013, too.

SPEAKER_04 21:28

Oh, I didn't see that one. Oh, see you might have you might have withheld some information from me now.

SPEAKER_01 21:33

My dad found that one.

SPEAKER_04 21:34

Oh, that yeah, then you withheld some information. I only knew about the one in the 90s. So uh yeah, no, that ain't that ain't a that ain't a positive reflection on the man. I'll say that.

SPEAKER_01 21:44

No, but so you weren't surprised that I brought uh white collar criminal to our to our plate and said, huh, what do you think?

SPEAKER_04 21:51

I mean now in today's world, I I've I've realized that like once you get to a certain Height, the only people you can commit crime against is typically either the consumer that you're selling to or the government.

SPEAKER_03 22:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 22:08

Because you have to either slide past their rules or screw over your customer to get like really in trouble legally, kind of thing. So no, but also, yeah, I was very yeah. The why why the how did how did this man even come to be?

SPEAKER_01 22:24

It was on a no, it was on a freelance website.

SPEAKER_04 22:29

Oh shit, that's right. Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_01 22:31

Yeah, it was so random. I'm I'm glad that I did the due diligence after, after, you know, spending hours and hours and creating pitch decks and things like that. But I'm glad that I did it because who, God, who knows? What could have happened? I could have been involved in a massive scheme, like against the government, maybe. And you know how scared I am of the government.

SPEAKER_04 22:52

You're very scared of the government. Terrified.

SPEAKER_01 22:53

I would I would not fuck with the government. That's like the one person entity that you don't want to mess with.

SPEAKER_04 22:58

No, there's no point to. No, absolutely not. Don't fight them.

SPEAKER_01 23:01

Also, I have a very strict theory that if you're a thief, you steal money. If you steal money from someone, anyone, then I think you're gonna steal money from me.

SPEAKER_04 23:11

Okay. Yeah, because if you have if that moral code that you're able to steal and you don't feel remorse from it, you're gonna do it.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

You're gonna do it to me. I get that. I learned that the hard way. Uh was it last? Was last year yacht year?

SPEAKER_04 23:27

Oh, yeah, last year.

SPEAKER_01 23:28

Last year was yacht year, and yacht year cost me a lot of fucking money. Yeah, it did. And a lot of people that I will never work with ever again.

SPEAKER_04 23:36

Money together.

SPEAKER_01 23:37

From the crux of you stole from me.

SPEAKER_04 23:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:42

You stole from me.

SPEAKER_04 23:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

Me.

SPEAKER_04 23:44

And that's something you just don't get over. Especially when you're doing a partnership.

SPEAKER_01 23:48

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 23:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:49

Exactly. Um, okay, so I want to talk about the fact that we're going to Palm Beach.

SPEAKER_02 23:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 23:54

Going to Palm Beach. Gonna be fun. Today I find out I'm going to Palm Beach for a wedding. Nate and I are going down to one of my best friend's weddings, and my other best friend, who happens to be my neighbor, we know we love her, Ocean. Hi, Ocean. Ocean texted me this morning and she says, Bestie, I don't want you to be worried about me because we have each other's locations. She goes, I don't want you to be worried about me. I'm gonna be in Florida the next couple days. And I was like, Okay, where? She sends me her flight information. She's on my flight there and back. There and back. So now I told her, I said, I feel so much better about flying now because what are the odds that God's gonna strike down a plane with two pretty girls on it? Oh dear God. You know? What are the odds?

SPEAKER_04 24:38

So that's the stipulation we're working off of.

SPEAKER_01 24:40

That's that's what I'm working off of in this environment. Um, are you excited to like go to the airport with friends?

SPEAKER_04 24:46

Yeah, for sure. Yes. Uh the more the merrier. Uh definitely gonna have a couple of drinks before we get on our 11 a.m. flight because 1140, yeah. Screw that. Yeah, we can we can take naps in the the the hotel later.

SPEAKER_01 24:59

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 24:59

Because we got the whole what we're doing parents' night out tomorrow. We don't have children, we have dogs.

SPEAKER_01 25:03

Yeah, and so we did put it in our calendar as piano.

SPEAKER_04 25:06

Piano.

SPEAKER_01 25:07

It's parents' night out.

SPEAKER_04 25:08

Parents' night out. We're very excited. Because with what my uh my crazy work schedule and not being able to be here, we have to have some time to ourselves.

SPEAKER_01 25:14

I know it has been so different. Recording here and being here, and you're not here to interject or say, Taylor, stop talking about George Bush and 9-11. Like it's people don't care about rocket fuel melting steel beams. They they just don't, okay? And I wish they fucking did. Um, it's also been a whirlwind being on other people's shows. So I notably do not really go on other podcasts, not because I don't have interest in it, but because I'm if I'm friends with someone that has a podcast and they're like mental health or fitness and wellness and other things that aren't girlhood and we hate everything and men included, then I don't go on the show because I don't want to give them like a a weird vibe. It doesn't fit their audience. But we've had two podcasts that I said, you know what? If their Westchester Studios approved, their Taylor Brooke approved too. And we we yeah, you went to both of them. Oh no, you went to one.

SPEAKER_04 26:08

I went to one.

SPEAKER_01 26:08

Yeah, uh at the table, on the table, with the table. Yeah, with Christian Greco.

SPEAKER_04 26:12

Delicious, by the way. Market Street Grill was phenomenal. Um so good. Yeah, I don't think they got a picture of my food. They got a picture of both of your guys' food.

SPEAKER_01 26:21

And what did you have?

SPEAKER_04 26:23

I had I can't remember what he calls it, but he does have a special name for it. But it was an omelette with bacon and cheese, and then on top of it was like a beef or pork gravy.

SPEAKER_01 26:36

Oh yum.

SPEAKER_04 26:37

Right, on top of it, and then hash browns, and I think there was another side with it, but holy crap. Number one, it was huge.

SPEAKER_01 26:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 26:44

And number two, it was delicious.

SPEAKER_01 26:47

I know.

SPEAKER_04 26:47

That thing filled me up so quick.

SPEAKER_01 26:49

Everything was so good. So good. And all the art was for sale.

SPEAKER_04 26:53

Uh it was done, at least done by one of his friends. Like he bought Oh, gotcha. Yeah, but it was a very it was a local artist.

SPEAKER_01 26:59

I loved that.

SPEAKER_04 27:00

A lot of it was Philly, uh, Philly-based, sports-based, or uh, I saw a good bit of Marvel stuff in there too. He just had I love this. He had just had a random Iron Man like statue or uh figurine standing up on like the corner somewhere. And he's like, Yeah, nobody notices that. I'm surprised you did. I was like, it's one of the first things that I saw walking in, man. That was wild. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:21

It was cool. I have never I had never been to Market Street Girl before, which is wild considering I'm a native of this land here. I'm a native of the land of Westchester. But yeah, I just had never been in there before. The vibe was so good. Um, it was dark, so I don't think I like saw all of it in the light, really. Um just because of filming, like there were light, like these sorts of lights. It's not like Christian invited us to eat dinner in the dark. I should have like prefaced to that.

SPEAKER_03 27:45

Dinner in the dark.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

Dinner in the dark with Christian Greco.

SPEAKER_03 27:48

That would be wild.

SPEAKER_01 27:49

He texts you and he's like, Yes, I'm thinking of making an OnlyFans. He's gonna send me the cease and desist for the podcast.

SPEAKER_04 27:59

Christian, if you're looking for, I I can I can help with the planning. All right. Anything else past that, I'm gonna I'm gonna remove myself from that. But good luck.

SPEAKER_01 28:07

I love it. And then three girls went office. Three girls went off. They came in and did their show. They're wild women, and I love it. Like, they're the friend group that I want to have when I'm their age. Okay. They're going on a trip, and the one woman, so three best friends, the one woman's birthday is coming up, and they're planning a trip, and it's a secret trip, and she doesn't know about it.

SPEAKER_04 28:27

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 28:28

Isn't that awesome?

SPEAKER_04 28:29

So they she doesn't know where she's going.

SPEAKER_04 28:38

That's scary as hell. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 28:41

See, I would like to be the planner of like, I would totally do this for one of my friends. If one of my friends was like, we're doing this for you. I would be like, okay, you're blocked.

SPEAKER_04 28:50

You're blocked.

SPEAKER_01 28:50

You're blocked.

SPEAKER_04 28:51

Yeah, you do like to know plans. You don't like to be surprised by anything. You were you planned your whole entire bachelorette party.

SPEAKER_01 28:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 28:58

And I was the opposite. I had everybody else plan it, and I said, I'm just gonna, I'm just along for the ride.

SPEAKER_01 29:03

Let's let's be clear. I planned my whole bachelorette party and everybody fought the whole time, cried, no one left friends, and yeah, it was a lot. So even though I planned it, it wasn't like the best weekend ever. You had the best weekend ever.

SPEAKER_04 29:18

Because I didn't plan it.

SPEAKER_01 29:20

No, I mean half of the time I was just like, it was me and Rainier.

SPEAKER_04 29:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:23

We were just like running away. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 29:25

Uh yeah. But we we did uh a couple of beer hauls, we went to the Grand Ole Opry, we went to Dick's Last Resort on Broadway, and outside of that, we drank and listened to music, and it was one of the best weekends of my life.

unknown 29:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 29:39

For sure.

SPEAKER_01 29:39

See, I I did have a good time. I shouldn't say I didn't have a good time. I had a great time. I just could have done without like everybody fighting and arguing. But that's also girls, I feel like.

SPEAKER_04 29:47

Probably. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 29:50

We were more worried about like just making sure everybody had a place to sleep.

SPEAKER_01 29:54

Yeah. The easiest, breeziest person was my sister-in-law at my bachelorette party. Oh my gosh. She was like, I'm gonna take the couch. We were like, girl, no, like sleep in a bed. And she was like, This is where I will hyper hibernate. And then she would just lift her head off off the couch, not ready, not dressed or anything, and be like, We're going out. Okay, give me five minutes. And she would be ready and rallied. We're like, What?

SPEAKER_04 30:14

She killed it.

SPEAKER_01 30:15

She did, she just slept all day.

SPEAKER_04 30:16

Yeah, she just slept all.

SPEAKER_01 30:17

She slept all day, stayed up all night.

SPEAKER_04 30:18

And didn't care that people were walking around. Like she slept through people talking.

SPEAKER_01 30:22

She was like, I need to sleep here because I'm the only one that can handle it. And I was like, Really, like, girl, sleep with me. I'm like, I don't care. Yeah. No?

SPEAKER_04 30:29

No.

SPEAKER_01 30:29

It's like okay.

SPEAKER_04 30:30

She said, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm an independent, strong woman.

SPEAKER_01 30:34

I'm a woman in STEM. Yes, is what she said.

SPEAKER_04 30:36

Yes, you are.

SPEAKER_01 30:37

I love telling her that. Yeah. Like you're a woman in STEM. She's a woman in STEM. I'm a woman in the arts. And then my other sister-in-law is just a woman, you know, she does it all. So, okay, so this is a little PSA for my listeners. On my holistic journey of health, of which I've been on for the past eh, three, four months with my sister. She's the Reiki master, the shaman, holistic doctor. So she makes all of these. I used to call them potions, but they're not potions. They're I think potions just sound funky. They're just like soaps and makeups and elixirs. Elixirs and things like that. I will link it here so you guys can check out her Etsy shop. I've gotten the prosperity soap, and this sounds nutty. Okay. And I know how this sounds in real life. She gives me the prosperity soap and she gives me a crystal and like some like just words to live by, like some affirmations. I've signed three deals since she's given that to me and since I've used it.

SPEAKER_00 31:36

Really?

SPEAKER_01 31:37

Yeah. Collectively, you signed a deal, I signed a deal, and then I signed a bunch for that event that we're doing. And that was like in a week. I started using the soap.

SPEAKER_04 31:45

Yeah. It's only been like a week, hasn't it?

SPEAKER_01 31:46

And it's called Prosperity Soap. And I just genuinely think that there is something to it. Not saying that like I didn't before, but I truly believe in it now. So no, I'm telling everybody, prosperity soap just it smells amazing. Yeah. It's a cute little packaging. And even if she wasn't my sister, I would buy it. And trust me, sometimes we fight and I don't want to buy it, but I still do.

SPEAKER_04 32:07

And I will say, sometimes the difference between like signing that client during during the meeting, at least signing that client and not is just a little bit of confidence. Yeah. And even if it's just bringing you the confidence, that's a win in itself, right? Totally a win.

SPEAKER_01 32:19

I so much so that we're running out of prosperity soap. And I text I texted her last Friday night when we were out and about and I was like, can you please bring soap over? And she was like, is that a keyword? It's like no. No. Like, for what? For drugs. For drugs. For drugs. Because yeah, it would be like, hey, Lexi, can you bring drugs to my house? Absolutely not.

SPEAKER_04 32:42

It's for the next time Dave Cruz is on the podcast.

SPEAKER_01 32:44

It's for the next time that Dave Cruz is on the podcast. Yeah, we so I didn't tell you this. When we were out on Friday night, Dave Cruz texted me.

SPEAKER_01 33:21

Bestie, you know who you are. We were at coffee, and I get a text from Dave in the middle of coffee, and it's like You're coming through my do not disturb. What do you want? So I push my phone aside, I forget about it. I'm about to get up from coffee and I'm like, let me check my phone. Dave says, Hey, my friends are seated behind you at the coffee shop. He names a coffee shop.

And then I left and I was like, Why do you guys hang out with Dave? You guys are so cool.

SPEAKER_01 34:35

Or Dave? They were like, I don't know. Like, we've been friends for a while, and I was kidding, but it was like very sarcastic. And I was like, I wonder if they're gonna go back to Dave and be like, she really doesn't like you. No, no. And he's gonna be like, I know.

SPEAKER_04 34:47

We love Dave. We love Dave. There are only so many men allowed on this show, and he's consistent. That is so true. It's very true.

SPEAKER_01 34:55

Well, three girls went office. They did ask me, they said, Dave Cruz, that's the gay one, right? And I said, mm-hmm. He's not the one. Yeah, he's the gay one. They were talking about David, but I was like, mm-hmm. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04 35:05

Okay, gay David.

SPEAKER_01 35:06

Yeah, but now it's a gay Dave Cruz. He might have more luck in that department. He, so we were all hanging out a couple weeks ago in my basement. And were you there when I was tindering on his phone or hinging?

SPEAKER_04 35:23

SPEAKER_04 36:27

Yeah, screw hinge. I'm going Tinder because I'm a lifer.

SPEAKER_01 36:31

I'm a lifer. That's what they used to call people at my school. Like my elementary and like middle and high school. Like if you were there for a long time, they would call you a lifer.

SPEAKER_04 36:39

That's what they call the 45-year-old dudes still playing minor league baseball.

SPEAKER_01 36:43

They call them lifers.

SPEAKER_04 36:44

Yeah, because they probably made it to like one, two MLB games, you know, the show.

SPEAKER_01 36:47

Wait, okay. I have a baseball story about class too. One girl in my class, she works for a baseball team or ontier. I try like not to give too much information about my students.

SPEAKER_04 36:56

The Lancaster Barnstormers.

SPEAKER_01 36:57

Remember how hot that game was? Well, yeah. That's the only thing I could remember was it being blazing. Yeah. And then that man that was like standing on top of the dugouts. Yeah. Yeah. That was weird for me.

Well, I will say they are in national news lately. The links to Barnstorm.

SPEAKER_01 37:28

Because of Brady?

He used to be a Los Angeles Dodger. Like this man is But the Dodgers aren't good. The Dodgers just won the World Series last year.

SPEAKER_01 37:46

They're New York, aren't they?

SPEAKER_04 37:48

They're LA.

SPEAKER_01 37:48

Oh, never mind.

SPEAKER_04 37:49

They used to be in Brooklyn. But that's like Jackie Robinson 1950s era.

SPEAKER_01 37:54

That was my past to life. I think that's where I was.

SPEAKER_04 37:57

You probably knew Jackie back then. I would say I could see you being a Jackie Robinson fan.

SPEAKER_01 38:00

Yeah. Yeah. No, I think I was Jackie.

SPEAKER_04 38:02

Oh, you think you were Jackie? Yeah. Jackie Robinson.

SPEAKER_01 38:05

I think so.
