Transcript

SPEAKER_04 0:00

We're Emily and Kyle. We started as coworkers in late night television and now we're best friends exploring NYC and our FYPs.

SPEAKER_06 0:07

This is an interview show about obsessions. Ours, theirs, and maybe yours too. Welcome to We're Obsessed With You. And done. Hey Emily.

SPEAKER_04 0:22

Hi, Kyle.

SPEAKER_06 0:22

Hi everyone.

SPEAKER_04 0:23

Hi.

SPEAKER_06 0:24

Welcome to the Wowie Offices. I'm Kyle O'Donnell.

SPEAKER_04 0:26

I'm Emily Himes.

SPEAKER_06 0:27

We are two late night bookers and best friends with the gift of the gab. And this is our show where we talk to the people we're obsessed with. About the things we're obsessed with. But we're doing things a little differently today.

SPEAKER_04 0:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 0:38

We're like a cool downtown restaurant. We do things.

SPEAKER_04 0:41

We don't need to get a little differently around here.

SPEAKER_06 0:43

We're guest lists.

SPEAKER_04 0:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 0:45

Emily and I have been on a little spring break. We haven't seen each other in a minute. So we're gonna do a catch-up and then we're going to do a big roundup of things we're obsessed with right now.

SPEAKER_04 0:54

We have a lot of things.

SPEAKER_06 0:55

We have a lot of things we need to discuss.

SPEAKER_04 0:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 0:57

And get ready for a big announcement coming up. It's huge.

SPEAKER_04 1:01

Literally huge.

SPEAKER_06 1:02

It's actually life-changing, and we're very excited about this announcement. Um, but we were both in Florida at the same time. We went to, you're in Orlando visiting your family, and I did a friend trip with Gillian and Zach, my two of my best friends, to two of his other best friends. Two of my college best friend, a work best friend, a former co-worker best friend. Um and we did the theme parks. I'm not a theme park person, so it was like really yes, he is. He's like obsessed. I am now. Um, but it was an incredible time.

SPEAKER_04 1:33

Yeah, we did a full day. I met you, we did Universal.

SPEAKER_06 1:35

Yes, we did Universal Studios.

SPEAKER_04 1:37

And then the next day you did Disney. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:39

They're just like it's so the difference between the two parks are incredible. Like they're both so, so good and extensive, and I had no clue what I was expecting going in. I hadn't been to Disney since I was like in the fourth grade, maybe fourth or fifth grade. And it's just crazy how much it's like blown up since then.

SPEAKER_04 2:01

Has it though? Like, I think it's always been like so huge.

SPEAKER_06 2:06

I think it's more so the actually, this is what it is. It's the IP scope.

SPEAKER_04 2:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:14

Like before every it was so clear what was a Disney property. Yeah. And now you're walking around and there are Marvel characters and they're advertising the new Muppet ride.

SPEAKER_05 2:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:23

Oh my god. I it's taking over for the rock and roller coaster, and it's Gonzo's like stun school. I will be going back. Disney, sponsor my trip back.

SPEAKER_03 2:32

I'm the biggest Disney adult now.

SPEAKER_06 2:34

Yeah, I'm a Muppet adult. Let's let's clarify.

SPEAKER_04 2:38

Um it was crazy. So we went to Universal. I just went to Universal with you guys, and we had the plane passes. We did not pay for the fast pass, nothing luxury. Right. And we were there, we got there at nine, and we left around 6:30.

SPEAKER_03 2:53

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 2:54

And we did with no breaks really. We sat down to eat our pretzels for about 15, 20 minutes, maybe. So non-stop, we only did six rides.

SPEAKER_03 3:04

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 3:05

Which, like, it sounds like it's so much waiting around just to do six rides.

SPEAKER_06 3:10

Well, I looked up my step count every day after, and Universal, I think, was 15,000, and then Disney was 16,000. But I was more tired than I've like in New York, I walked 20,000 steps easily. But because you're constantly walking five feet and then stopping for 30 minutes, walking five feet, stopping for 10 minutes. Like it's so stop and go, stop and go, stop and go that you're it's exhausting.

SPEAKER_04 3:33

But then it's also like the rides itself are exhausting. Like because you're just like being thrown into all these different like simulators.

SPEAKER_06 3:41

And it's also the people, like humanity is not alive and well in an amusement park. I yelled at a woman, she deserved it.

SPEAKER_04 3:48

I didn't see that. That must have been at Disney.

SPEAKER_06 3:50

So I'll just tell this story quickly. We sat down in Toy Storyland in Disney World. Uh and uh there's a family sitting there before and they're wrapping up, and I say, Excuse me, do you mind if we take this table and you're done? Yes, absolutely. Uh Gillian and Zach get their food. We sit down at the table.

SPEAKER_03 4:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 4:08

During this time, we're about to wrap up and a guy comes over and he says, Do you mind if I use this table when you're done? My family is waiting in line. Of course, please. Absolutely. He goes, I'm gonna go tell them. While he goes to tell his family, who's about to order the food. This woman comes over with a big stroller and a baby.

SPEAKER_04 4:26

I'm so nervous.

SPEAKER_06 4:27

And she just starts lingering by the table.

SPEAKER_04 4:30

Yeah, yeah. You can tell she's ready to pounce. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 4:32

Yes. So we are like hanging tight at the table until this guy is back because he was so kind about it. And we do the same thing. As he comes back, uh, he like puts his food down and she goes, I've been waiting. And he goes, Oh, I asked. And she goes, I've been waiting 10 minutes. That's that makes me snap. You haven't. You've been waiting 10 seconds, if anything.

SPEAKER_04 4:54

Yeah, I saw you, you weren't here.

SPEAKER_06 4:56

This guy came over. And even if she was lingering before he asked, I would have said, We'll be gone and we'll be ready in five minutes.

SPEAKER_04 5:03

Yeah, exactly. But and she wasn't. No.

SPEAKER_06 5:06

So then she goes, I've been waiting. He goes, Oh, yeah, well, I asked. She goes, Yes, but I've been standing here 10 minutes and waiting. I have a big family. And I go, You have a big family, and that's why you have a right to this table. Oh my god. And I go, ma'am, we're at fucking Disney World. Everyone has a big family. Jillian books it cannot handle this.

SPEAKER_04 5:26

I was just about to say, who is more awkward, Zach or Jillian?

SPEAKER_06 5:28

Zach is like, oh, this is like getting Kyle Rock hard, like yelling at someone and putting them in their place about etiquette.

SPEAKER_04 5:34

And he's just like filming. Yes.

SPEAKER_06 5:36

And she goes, You don't have to be an asshole about it. I go, you don't have to be an asshole to me, and you don't have to be an asshole to this guy, presuming that he doesn't have a family. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, at Disney World, keep in mind, at this point, his wife and three children show up. So I'm like, that's a big family.

SPEAKER_04 5:48

That's definitely a big family. That's five people. I was just like, gross. Yeah, that's so annoying.

SPEAKER_06 5:53

And I get everyone's tired of dealing with kids. I wasn't. But like, be normal.

SPEAKER_04 5:58

Yeah. So what happened? Did she walk away, storm off?

SPEAKER_06 6:01

We stormed off. I was like, I goodbye. Yeah, you can't deal with this. That's so gross.

SPEAKER_04 6:06

Yeah. Right. That's really funny.

SPEAKER_06 6:07

Why are you entitled to this table? Because you have a big family.

SPEAKER_04 6:10

I feel like that happens all the time. Yes.

SPEAKER_06 6:12

Oh my God. Yes. And there's people, no one cut in lines. That was great. That was the only blip about like the people that were annoying.

SPEAKER_04 6:18

At food.

SPEAKER_06 6:19

Yes. Yeah. That like interaction. Yeah. But speaking of food, we went on TikTok to see like the things we had to eat.

SPEAKER_04 6:25

Yes. Because at Disney, Universal, we didn't really look too much into Universal.

SPEAKER_06 6:29

No, and Universal, I think, has less themed food options. Like they have more like amusement park food.

SPEAKER_04 6:34

Yes, totally. Like the churro, the pretzel, the hot corndog. Yeah. So we looked up what to have at Disney. And there were like a few things that were like must-tries at Disney World.

SPEAKER_06 6:44

Yes. So we were in Magic Kingdom, and one of the things was the spring rolls.

SPEAKER_04 6:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 6:47

Ate cheeseburger spring roll with like a special dipping sauce. Yeah, that was like number one on the list. It was incredible. I didn't know they were thing. The line was like not too long and it moved quickly because of the spring roll.

SPEAKER_04 6:57

So it was only like a station. It wasn't served like every day.

SPEAKER_06 7:00

A little cart in oh god, Frontierland. I don't know. Don't ask me. Look it up. Yeah, look it up. Um and or New Orleans quarter, whatever. Yeah. And they had that and then a pepperoni. And I guess they switched the flavors out. Ooh, like the people online, like the Disney people there, were like, this is our favorite thing we eat.

SPEAKER_05 7:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 7:18

Highly recommend. It was so good. And two of them, I did one of each. You do a combo. I think it was like eight bucks. Affordable. Affordable. I was actually shocked how affordable Disney was once you were in there. Yeah. When it merch, expensive, entry expensive, food and bev. Fairly reasonable, I thought.

SPEAKER_04 7:37

Well, I was shocked that you can bring a water bottle and snacks into Universal.

SPEAKER_06 7:42

Oh, everyone brought snacks.

SPEAKER_04 7:43

Everyone's bringing snacks. I mean, I guess like it's so strict when you go to like any of like a game at MSG or Barkley Center. You can't bring any of that stuff. But here I would be, I was shocked that they wouldn't want people buying water bottles.

SPEAKER_06 7:55

Yeah. But I was all uh that, and I was also surprised by the people with lots of children, big families, and they had backpacks with all this stuff. And I was like, is bringing all that stuff worth it? Like, does that are you not more tired by bringing a back a backpack full of like Cheez Its or whatever?

SPEAKER_04 8:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 8:14

Like just buy the food.

SPEAKER_04 8:16

Well, they've already spent all their money. I know I have to remember that they've got six kids to go to Universal or Disney. I will tell you, I have I cannot stand. I think like if you wear a backpack to work, that's one thing. Yeah. But a like a dad in a backpack that's like filled with kids stuff. Oh icks me out. And then they usually wear it low.

SPEAKER_06 8:35

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:36

Because like the mom wears it and then they put it on. It is, and it's all around universal. And I'm just like, ugh. And I know it's like helps them. There's stuff in there. But I'm like, don't put it on your back. Like hide it from my eyes.

SPEAKER_06 8:48

Just just don't.

SPEAKER_04 8:50

Just don't.

SPEAKER_06 8:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 8:51

Okay. So after Universal.

SPEAKER_06 8:53

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 8:54

You went to Disney. I took the Bright Line high speed railway to Miami.

SPEAKER_03 8:59

Great.

SPEAKER_04 9:00

From Orlando. And it's like such a nice little train ride. It's so nice. I'd say the Wi-Fi is like a little iffy, but um so much better than driving.

SPEAKER_06 9:08

New train, right?

SPEAKER_04 9:08

It's new train. It's a few years old now.

SPEAKER_06 9:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 9:11

And take it so like range from$39 to I don't know, sometimes it could be$170, but mine was$79.

SPEAKER_03 9:17

Fabulous.

SPEAKER_04 9:18

Get to Miami, I meet my husband, and we go to Miami every year. So it's our like sixth year doing it. And I love Miami. You love Miami.

SPEAKER_06 9:27

Love Miami.

SPEAKER_04 9:27

So you state the standard, I state the Mondrian, which is not far. And both hotels are on the bay.

SPEAKER_06 9:33

I love the bay.

SPEAKER_04 9:34

The bay is so beautiful. So beautiful. It's so nice. And it happened to be very windy. So the beach was really windy, but the bay wasn't. So I ended up hanging out at the pool a lot more, and they have chairs that overlook the bay.

SPEAKER_06 9:47

Do you want to hear something about the bay?

unknown 9:49

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 9:49

When you go to the standard, you can rent a stand-up paddleboard.

SPEAKER_04 9:53

Oh my god. You didn't.

SPEAKER_06 9:54

I did it. And one of the uh my friend Ryan, who also stays there, told me that there's a guy that's two doors down that you if you stand up paddleboard by, he like gets off by like masturbating the backyard to the stand-up paddleboarders. He's like an exhibitionist.

SPEAKER_03 10:12

And of course, how can I get over here? Slash, flash, flash.

SPEAKER_06 10:16

And I go over and he like was out there, but I guess I wasn't his type because he didn't do anything. But then I asked the pool boys, of course. I was like, what's the deal? Yeah, and he was like, Oh yeah, the the guy was like, Yeah, he does this all the time. Everyone comes back and says that.

SPEAKER_04 10:33

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 10:34

I know and you love the Mondrian.

SPEAKER_04 10:36

I love the Mondrian. They're actually updating it. Each year we go. This is our second year going there. I've stated some real dumps. This one's much nicer. Um, but my favorite, I have to recommend La Sandwicherie.

SPEAKER_06 10:47

I went there with Zach when we took the show to Miami.

SPEAKER_04 10:50

How good is it?

SPEAKER_06 10:50

Incredible.

SPEAKER_04 10:51

It's on Miami Beach, and it's a sandwich place that does it's like a counter service type of counter service. You can go in the morning and get smoothies, but then it also it has like it's a salad inside the sandwich too. You can get whatever you want, and then it's like lettuce, olives, corny shones with this like delicious French dressing.

SPEAKER_06 11:08

It's the dressing is super.

SPEAKER_04 11:09

It's such a good beach sandwich.

SPEAKER_06 11:10

And it's on like a if I remember like a nice French bread. Yeah, it's like a crusty French bread.

SPEAKER_04 11:15

Yeah, I love it.

SPEAKER_06 11:16

It's delicious.

SPEAKER_04 11:17

But while we were in Miami, Mike had met me, so he was in New York, and we saw some friends. And the first night we saw them, I overheard him telling our friend Francesca, I did the sheets. I slept on the couch the night before I left, so like the sheets would be nice and clean for Emily.

SPEAKER_06 11:32

Do you want to parade?

SPEAKER_04 11:33

And I literally leaned over. I was like, I can hear you. Like, thank you. I do them all the time, and I don't ask, I don't, I'm not per, I'm telling everyone. You know what I did today? The sheets. So we did that, and then he brought it up again two days later, and then he brought it up again. So he brought it up like a few times, like bragging that he did the sheets. And I was like, all right already. Right.

SPEAKER_06 11:52

It's like he was in Artemis. Yeah. Like he saw the far side of the moon. You did the sheets.

SPEAKER_04 11:56

Oh my god, my husband's like the best man of the world. In your apartment. In my apartment.

SPEAKER_06 12:00

For your bed. He also sleeps.

SPEAKER_04 12:02

That you share. So we get home, we have a flight at 7 a.m. And we get back at I'd say 11:30, finally. He does a quick turnaround. He like drops his bag, goes to the bathroom, leaves because he's got to go to work. Such a hardworking man. I go to the couch and I scroll TikTok because I haven't been on it in like days. Of course. And I was like needing my fix. Scrolling. Then I get up and I'm like, I guess I'll go into the bedroom. Like maybe I'll like lay down. Yeah, of course. And when I tell you I walked in, I I was supposed to have clean sheets, right? Right? Isn't that what I just said? And isn't that what he said a hundred times?

SPEAKER_06 12:38

To everyone in Miami.

SPEAKER_04 12:39

To everyone. Um The Comforter isn't a ball and the sh the bed is unmade. And I'm like, wait, what? And there's nothing on the bed.

SPEAKER_06 12:49

It's completely stripped.

SPEAKER_04 12:49

Yeah, completely striped. And then I'm like, well, well, where are the sheets? And why is the bed not made? So I walk over to a washer dryer, which I'm very lucky to have in New York City, and there they are in the dryer. Oh my God. Just sitting there. And so I went back into my room, took a picture to Mike, and sent it to Mike, and I said, Is this a joke? And he goes, What do you mean? And I was like, the bed that you talked about is not clean. And he was like, Well, I did the sheets and they're clean.

SPEAKER_06 13:19

Oh.

SPEAKER_04 13:22

So I guess like my question is, is it a treat to have to make my own bed?

SPEAKER_06 13:28

No.

SPEAKER_04 13:29

No.

SPEAKER_06 13:29

It's actually it would have been better if you came home to dirty sheets on the bed because you had to lay down immediately.

SPEAKER_04 13:35

Keep don't touch it.

SPEAKER_06 13:36

Don't touch it. Yes. If you're not gonna make the bed. It's a thing of like if you're gonna do it, do it right.

SPEAKER_04 13:45

It was insane. And I think I really he didn't understand. So I was like, I'm not doing the sheets, I'm not doing them.

SPEAKER_03 13:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 13:51

And then I had a concert that night, and I was so worried that I was gonna come back from it and see that Mike still hadn't made it and we would have to make it together to like 11 p.m. And I was like, I can't. So I made the bed. But when I got home that night, I couldn't talk about anything else. I was like immediately like, Mike, we've got to talk about this. Yes. You can't be bragging about doing the sheets. If you didn't even make them, I had to make them.

SPEAKER_03 14:11

Right.

SPEAKER_04 14:11

And as I was saying it, he goes, Well, I guess like now that you're saying it like that, like I guess that doesn't sound that good. Yeah, duh.

SPEAKER_03 14:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 14:19

So that was really annoying. And it's just like annoying because his brain like didn't get it. Nobody wants it. The worst part of doing laundry is like making the bed again.

SPEAKER_06 14:28

Oh, don't even get me started.

SPEAKER_04 14:29

So he left me with the worst part of it. Like, is that a treat? No. And listen, I he I know he was trying to do the right thing, but like I'm just so upset his brain, like he can't get it.

SPEAKER_06 14:40

At what step did you just abandon it? You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 14:45

I think he thought. I think he's like, oh, they're clean. I'm sleeping on the couch and she'll just make it when I don't. I think he thought like the whole way through. Anyway, but I'm back in New York. The sheets are clean.

SPEAKER_06 14:56

Yes, perfect. It is springtime. We're loving it.

SPEAKER_04 14:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 14:59

SPEAKER_04 16:17

If you're like me, you know I hate allergy season. But one thing that's helping make it more manageable is my canopy humidifier. I'm obsessed with how it reduces irritation caused by allergens by keeping me more hydrated overall and less itchy. Just go to getcanopy.co slash wowie to get 15% off your order of$50 or more. That's getcanopy.co slash wowy for new and returning customers. You're gonna be obsessed too.

SPEAKER_06 16:48

We're back. Welcome back, everyone. Should we start with this big announcement?

SPEAKER_04 16:52

I guess. Should I stand up?

SPEAKER_06 16:54

I mean, uh it's your announcements.

SPEAKER_04 16:56

I feel so bad for the people who are just listening and not watching.

SPEAKER_06 16:59

Maybe we should just show them and they'll have to go to the YouTube.

SPEAKER_04 17:02

Yeah, maybe we just bleep everything out from here on out.

SPEAKER_06 17:05

No, let it rip. Tell everyone.

SPEAKER_04 17:07

Okay, everyone, I am um having a baby. So that's the big announcement.

SPEAKER_06 17:16

Baby, do you have any comments? Baby shop.

SPEAKER_04 17:20

They're really chatty.

SPEAKER_06 17:21

How are you feeling, Emily?

SPEAKER_04 17:22

Um, I'm feeling so much better. Yes. When we launched this podcast in December, I was really in it. And I really have to say, you cannot tell from the videos.

SPEAKER_06 17:33

I had no clue, but I'm also an idiot.

SPEAKER_04 17:35

Yeah, I was pretty good at hiding it, even at the office. Like I think everyone would have known. Because in that like first trimester, you're just like trying to get by and like you feel sick and nauseous all at the same time, but also starving. And I like would need a carb. And I was like, if anyone sees me every day eating like pepperoni pizza and french fries, they're gonna be like, something's not right with Emily. So I would go downstairs um to 30 Rock and I like have this like little bench I would go to and it'd get my Shake Shack and like eat an extra homeless man every day because I was like, I don't care where I'm sitting, I just like need to be away and by myself. But yeah, I got through that. Yes, we launched the pod, and now I'm feeling much better in my second trimester. I'm halfway through.

SPEAKER_06 18:15

And you're due right away. Yes. You're due around my birthday and Laura's birthday, her sister.

SPEAKER_04 18:22

So we could have like a really big blowout party. I love it.

SPEAKER_06 18:25

I'm so excited for you.

SPEAKER_04 18:27

It's an exciting time.

SPEAKER_06 18:28

You don't know what you're having.

SPEAKER_04 18:29

I don't know. And it's like, yeah, it's like fun. Everyone's like, that's so great. But I'm like having a lot of anxiety about it because I'm like, if it's a boy, it's gonna do this. If it's a girl, it's gonna do this, then I'm gonna spiral.

SPEAKER_06 18:38

You're gonna have anything. So I don't want to know. You're gonna have anxiety about every aspect of it.

SPEAKER_04 18:42

Yeah, totally.

SPEAKER_06 18:43

You know, it's the craziest thing to ever happen.

SPEAKER_04 18:45

Yeah. If anyone has any like stroller um advice for NYC moms, let me know.

SPEAKER_06 18:49

Oh, yeah. If you're a listener and you're a parent, tell us the things you're obsessed with that like helped with your newborn. I think it's yeah, you we want like real life referrals.

SPEAKER_04 19:00

It's the only way.

SPEAKER_06 19:01

It's amazing.

SPEAKER_04 19:01

It's the only way.

SPEAKER_06 19:02

But you're obsessed with something connected to you. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 19:04

I was going through, like, as I started to get bigger, I was like um freaking out because I didn't know what to wear and what to do. And um everything, there's a lot of stuff online. I signed up for newly um because I like was like, these clothes are so ugly, like I don't want to keep them forever. I want them to like come in and then leave my life.

SPEAKER_03 19:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 19:24

But I have found my obsession is HM. And like, listen, we all know HM.

SPEAKER_06 19:30

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 19:30

And I have a friend, Michelle, actually, who's obsessed with HM always, and she always has the best finds from HM. HM has a great maternity wear section. It's affordable. T-shirts, like shorts, pants, and they're like cool.

SPEAKER_03 19:42

Great.

SPEAKER_04 19:43

And I want to wear them where I'm like, I'm not gonna feel disgusting. They also, a lot of these places have like at Old Navy and Gap, you can also order online and um like Athleta or Lululemon, you can order pregnancy stuff online, maternity wear online, but you can't return in store.

SPEAKER_06 20:01

That is so much. HM annoying.

SPEAKER_04 20:03

You can return in store. Love. They did say they might start charging, but I was like, I'd pay because they don't want to have to package this up and send it back because some of the stuff is so ugly. Don't know what your size is. HM also does this great thing that um when you're looking at regular clothes, not in the maternity section, regular clothes online, and you do size guide, it'll tell you the size for regular, petite, and maternity. So it's like if you're maternity, try this size instead for like regular wear. Yeah. So I've gotten a few things.

SPEAKER_06 20:35

I feel like that's a real gap in the market because you have like brands like Hatch, which are incredibly expensive.

SPEAKER_04 20:40

So expensive, cute, but like I cannot afford it.

SPEAKER_06 20:42

Right. And I look at photos of like my mom when she was pregnant with me, and I was like, why were you wearing Moo Moose all the time? And it's just like that's probably the only thing she should she could get.

SPEAKER_04 20:52

Yeah. My mom said she was wearing tennis skirts and oversized shirts.

SPEAKER_06 20:56

Well, you were wearing a workout dress at Universal, and you're like, I don't know if I'm showing. And you lifted your rain jacket up, and we're all like, Emily.

SPEAKER_04 21:05

I didn't think I was showing until we have the picture of us with the butterbeer, and I like have a butterball in my stomach. I insert photo here because it like literally looks like a bowling ball inside my stomach.

SPEAKER_06 21:16

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 21:17

Well, that's we should say I didn't do any of the rides at Universal.

SPEAKER_06 21:19

Yes, everywhere it says expectant mothers are not allowed on the ride. So Emily stood in the line with us.

SPEAKER_04 21:24

I was I will say, if you're scared of rides or you're pregnant, you can wait all the way. That's so easy to just peel off right at the end. Your family rooms. Yes, you can hang out. It was like actually quite easy.

SPEAKER_03 21:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:35

Um I was able to do the Hogwarts Express. So don't worry, you can do that.

SPEAKER_06 21:40

Yes. What shoes are you wearing?

SPEAKER_04 21:42

So a lot of people, um, I guess right now I'm like about six months. Some people's feet start to swell. Mine haven't done that yet. Um, and some people like go up a size, which I'm like so concerned about. And some people don't go back to their normal size. Like I have shoes that I love, and like my foot, no matter what, right, will squeeze back into them.

SPEAKER_03 21:59

Yeah. Um

SPEAKER_04 22:00

Um yeah, in a new yard. Um, right now I'm in a pair of Sam Edelman ballet flats that I love, but they are really bad for walking as a pregnant woman. They're like not good for my feet.

SPEAKER_06 22:10

Send racks, everyone.

SPEAKER_04 22:11

And they have great men's stuff too.

SPEAKER_06 22:13

They absolutely do.

SPEAKER_04 22:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 22:14

Um, my obsess one of my obsessions right now is a fragrance from Diasendurga, which is a New York-based perfumery and fragrance brand.

SPEAKER_04 22:23

I remember when you found Dies and Durga and discovered it. Like years ago now.

SPEAKER_06 22:28

Years ago, pre-COVID. And it was before I was, I think it was before they had that sh store in Nolita.

SPEAKER_04 22:33

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 22:34

Um, I love this brand so much, but right now they have a they're a new fragrance. They're really good at dropping new fragrances all the time. And my favorite one right now is Cognac Rain. I am wearing it if you want to smell it.

SPEAKER_04 22:47

Oh, it's nice. It's nice. I got through a little of my allergy nose.

SPEAKER_06 22:50

And I was on the website to like research it. It's giving Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Like it's very modern Baroque.

SPEAKER_04 22:59

That's nice for summer.

SPEAKER_06 23:00

Yes. And so the notes are caramelized bergamot, antique wood, limousine oak.

SPEAKER_04 23:06

I love oak. One of my fave spells.

SPEAKER_06 23:09

Yes. Um, and it's just incredible. It's they say on their website, you get on the subway and get off at Versailles. What would a 300-year-old cognac barrel cracked open on the F train smell like? So it's like a little modern, a little like older, traditional. But I love it. And what I've been doing is I've been pairing it with the I don't know what, which is their fragrance enhancer. It's just like a very basic fragrance. You can wear it on its own.

SPEAKER_03 23:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 23:38

Or you can add it to another one, like layer it. And it just makes everything a bit more complex.

SPEAKER_03 23:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 23:43

I love it. That's cognac rains, R-E-I-G-N.

SPEAKER_04 23:48

Oh, of course. I actually didn't think that originally when you told me.

SPEAKER_06 23:51

I didn't either. Um, I love it so much. They have small sizes, a big size. I also love their gray blazer smell.

SPEAKER_04 23:57

How do you find out about new smells there? Like, or in general, like are you searching the website, like I need a new scent for summer? You get a newsletter.

SPEAKER_06 24:04

Yeah, or they just send they're good at marketing emails without like it being really obnoxious.

SPEAKER_04 24:09

You know, um, what's the price point?

SPEAKER_06 24:11

It is expensive.

SPEAKER_04 24:12

It's about but it lasts a while.

SPEAKER_06 24:14

Exactly. Yeah, it's about$225. And like, you know, when you see those influencers and they're like in front of a shelf like you, and they have like 12,000 fragrances. Yeah, I don't want that. I want like maybe three.

SPEAKER_04 24:24

The bottles are also very chic.

SPEAKER_06 24:26

Very chic.

SPEAKER_04 24:27

I was in Ulta and the Carolina Herrera perfume is that's like a stiletto.

SPEAKER_03 24:35

Love.

SPEAKER_04 24:35

My sister says like people love it, but it's I cannot with the look of that bottle.

SPEAKER_06 24:40

Or the Jean-Paul Gautier like torso. Dumb. No, DS and Durgo. It's simple, it's clean looking.

SPEAKER_04 24:46

My boyfriend in college had that.

SPEAKER_06 24:48

Jean-Paul Gautier fragrance. That is so gross. I remember when I like started wearing cologne in high school, I was obsessed with Burberry Britt and I would bathe myself in it. It was disgusting.

SPEAKER_04 25:01

My mom would be like, stop spraying it.

SPEAKER_06 25:03

It's incredible. Oh, I loved it so much. But cognac rain, Diaz and Durga.

SPEAKER_04 25:08

Yeah, love.

SPEAKER_06 25:09

Um, what's your next obsession, Em?

SPEAKER_04 25:10

So since I've been on vacay, I have been watching any TV really. I've been reading. And as much as I'd love to talk about marriage at sea, I'm gonna talk about something different. Um, I just read, so I'm in a book club and I finished the book early, and I told my um book club mate, Sam. And she was like, Well, I actually, my friend just gave me the deal. So, should we read that next? And I was like, okay, I guess, not knowing what it was. And then I looked it up and I was like, wait, this is like almost, is this like why? What is this? It was like, wasn't sure if it was YA. What it was a romance novel. I was like, oh my gosh. So I went to the store and I got it. It was on the table, the same table as um all the hockey.

SPEAKER_06 25:49

Oh, the heated rivalry books.

SPEAKER_04 25:50

All the heated rivalry books.

SPEAKER_06 25:52

Smut.

SPEAKER_04 25:53

Yeah. But like make it YA.

SPEAKER_03 25:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 25:56

So it is a so the deal is the first of a series by L. Kennedy. And I think there's five or six.

SPEAKER_06 26:05

She wrote my really favorite smut hockey book. She wrote him with Sabrina something.

SPEAKER_04 26:12

Oh wow. Yes. Well, this so the deal on Goodreads has like a million reviews. It's 4.2. And I was like, okay. It's part of a series that's called off campus.

SPEAKER_06 26:24

Okay. College or high school? College. Fabulous.

SPEAKER_04 26:27

But there's spin-offs too. She has like it like spiral, it's like this whole universe now. But the deal is about a theater girl who starts tutoring a hockey player. In and there's a deal made, so he's gonna help her get this guy she likes, and you know, things happen. Oh um, like really happen. Because I was like, this is so YA, and then all of a sudden I was like, whoa, I don't think like young children should be reading this.

SPEAKER_06 26:58

Is it better? Is it sexier or less sexy than like Judy Blooms Forever?

SPEAKER_04 27:02

I didn't read that.

SPEAKER_06 27:03

Okay, what about the click?

SPEAKER_04 27:04

I didn't read that.

SPEAKER_06 27:05

Okay, what about can you compare it to a TV show?

SPEAKER_04 27:10

Tell me lies. It's not that dirty. Oh, tell me lies is toxic.

SPEAKER_06 27:14

This actually No, I meant about like the sex aspect. Um I don't care about I don't care about the toxicity.

SPEAKER_04 27:19

They're both, well, they both have these like backgrounds where they're like kind of overcoming things, which is like deep.

SPEAKER_06 27:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:25

But um, so it makes like uh I'm getting so hot.

SPEAKER_06 27:31

She's getting really hot and bothered.

SPEAKER_04 27:33

The room, I like to just clarify, the room's getting very hot. Like, I'm not getting hot talking about this. Um there's not too much sex, but like when there is, it's like explicit. Yeah. Oh, I'm so in buying it. It is. And so that's the first one. Then he Garrett is the main character, and he lives in this hockey house with four other boys. Hot. The set and they're all hot. That is established in like the first few chapters. But it also goes back and forth. Her perspective, his perspective, her perspective, his perspective. Second book, a different hockey player in the house. Third book, a different hockey player in the house.

SPEAKER_06 28:12

Same girl she's gonna pass around?

SPEAKER_04 28:13

No, it follows a different guy from the hockey house. And so now there's off campus. They live off campus in this like house, and it's just like these haughty hockey players. And so it goes through each of their stories. Now I've started to get emails at work. There's going to be an Amazon show called Off Campus. And the first season is going to focus on the first two books.

SPEAKER_06 28:37

All right, I'm buying these immediately.

SPEAKER_04 28:39

It comes out in May, and I'm gonna watch it.

SPEAKER_06 28:41

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 28:41

I watched the trailer originally before reading the book, and I was like, I'm not interested in this. And now I'm like, they need to release more trailers. I like need to see more.

SPEAKER_06 28:49

I'm gonna cannot wait.

SPEAKER_04 28:50

So it's like, I just think that this might be the next thing. Like, we have euphoria on right now, which is like super toxic, but no longer college or no longer high school. Tongue wise is over. Yeah, what other teen like we need a teen college show. And let me just lastly, it's like no stress. Right. You're not like, oh my god, he's manipulating this one. It's like, I hope they don't add that to this show. I just hope it's like easy viewing.

SPEAKER_06 29:17

Well, when we're talking about heated rivalry and like sometimes we just want a happy ending, not even happy ending, we just want like to frolic and have sex and whatever.

SPEAKER_04 29:26

Yeah, totally.

SPEAKER_06 29:27

Oh, I love that so much.

SPEAKER_04 29:28

Yeah. What are you obsessed with?

SPEAKER_06 29:31

I am from the uh Boston area.

SPEAKER_04 29:35

We all know that by now.

SPEAKER_06 29:36

Yes. Boston the Boston Globe is my paper of record, and the Boston Globe has been covering this uh true this story that happened in Beverly, which is the town right next to where I grew up. And Beverly just as a it's a very the haves and haves not towns. It's on the water, so you have these gorgeous like 1800s mansions on the water, and like they're stunning. And back in March, two massed intruders entered a$20 million mansion on the water in Beverley. And they show photos of it, we'll put it in the video. Yeah, but it looks like something out of the Gilded Age. And the Boston Globe has been covering it, and someone was one of the massed intruders was just arrested.

SPEAKER_04 30:19

They found him.

SPEAKER_06 30:20

Well, oh my god. Yes, they found him.

SPEAKER_04 30:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 30:23

Um, because he went in, two guys masked, went into the house, tied up the housekeepers and everything.

SPEAKER_04 30:31

What time of day?

SPEAKER_06 30:32

I have no clue. Okay. Stole a bunch of stuff and drove off in a Porsche that they stole.

SPEAKER_04 30:37

Oh, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_06 30:38

And it seemed like they had a a knowledge of the layout of the house. And a few days later, he was found at the encore casino with a former, with one of the housekeepers who is his ex-girlfriend. And he was wearing the same flip-flops. It all comes down to the flip-flops. That's not the most interesting part of this story.

SPEAKER_04 30:58

Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 31:00

The most interesting part of this story is the TikToks they've been doing to cover it.

SPEAKER_04 31:04

The globe has been doing TikToks.

SPEAKER_06 31:05

Yes, and that's how I reject. I should just say, I do not really care about um true crime. I do. I don't. Um But there's this woman, Emily Sweeney. She is the reporter, and I'm just going to play what she sounds like.

SPEAKER_00 31:24

Sweeney from the Boston Globe, and thank you for keeping my news broadcast in Korea alive for another day. Here are three stories that reporters like me are keeping an eye on. A psychiatrist.

SPEAKER_06 31:35

She's literally Matt Damon in Goodwill Hunting. And I would like to show you what she wears in these videos.

SPEAKER_03 31:41

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 31:42

I am obsessed with this woman. She's an amazing journalist, but she's like rough and tumble.

SPEAKER_04 31:48

She I never would have thought that's what she looked like. She only I thought she was gonna be like in her 50s.

SPEAKER_06 31:54

No, she is like a rough and tumble Boston woman.

SPEAKER_04 31:58

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 31:58

And in all these videos, she's only wearing tracksuits. I am obsessed with Emily Sweeney. I am so obsessed with her. She's an amazing journalist, and she's been doing for the Boston Globe, because she's kind of gone viral, a bunch of stories about the Boston area. And she's like out in the streets meeting other Rustos.

SPEAKER_04 32:15

Oh my god. So first we have to follow this.

SPEAKER_06 32:17

You have to follow the Boston Globe.

SPEAKER_04 32:18

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 32:19

And just for Emily Sweeney, I think she's like an incredible journalist and just like a personality.

SPEAKER_04 32:24

Well, I also like that she is wearing tracksuits because it's like instead of seeing some of these women being like, and like even how they talk, like so um, what is the way that these like reporters talk? Find out more after this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 32:38

Razor blades found in apples tonight after Gray's Anatomy. You know, like that kind of thing. I love Emily Sweeney so much.

SPEAKER_04 32:45

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 32:46

Her accent is incredible. She's a great journalist. Follow the Boston Globe for more of her stuff.

SPEAKER_04 32:50

That's fun. Wait, also, can we go back to the flip-flops? What flip-flops was he wearing?

SPEAKER_06 32:53

Oh, I have no clue.

SPEAKER_04 32:54

I hope not Javianos. No, I believe they're my fave.

SPEAKER_06 32:56

I assume they were like a slide of some sort.

unknown 32:59

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 32:59

But that's what I'm obsessed with. Oh my god, I just love it. And like really, as I spoke about in our Anastasia episode, I love the Boston accent. And Emily Sweeney is just she's that girl for me. She's that girl.

SPEAKER_04 33:11

I actually think I'm gonna listen to that because next episode I want to like try to like speak in it.

SPEAKER_06 33:16

The funny thing is, I cannot do a Boston accent to save my life. My mom had an incredible Boston accent. My dad has a great one. My sister doesn't really, but the rest my stepdad has one, my stepmom doesn't. So I just don't. I'm sad that I don't have it. I love the Boston accent.

SPEAKER_04 33:29

I think you can practice. Like me with my left handwriting.

SPEAKER_06 33:32

I think if I were to go back home for like a month, I would get it. I would like to just talk to Mac. My stepdad.

unknown 33:38

Mac.

SPEAKER_06 33:39

Um all right, we're going to be right back with our final obsessions and a round of obsessed her over it.

SPEAKER_04 34:13

We're back.

SPEAKER_06 34:13

Welcome back. I am currently obsessed with Shirley Temples, as is everyone in the nation. And there are a bunch of pre-packaged ones. So we are we did a blind taste test on our socials, and now we're gonna find out which one was our favorite. My favorite was A. I thought it was the most Shirley Temple tasting.

SPEAKER_04 34:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 34:32

And I love the color.

SPEAKER_04 34:33

Mine, I was going back and forth between D and A. And so my but I decided on D to be different.

SPEAKER_06 34:40

Okay. Ireland hit us. What was D?

SPEAKER_04 34:44

Which one's D? Oh, wait, should we guess?

SPEAKER_06 34:46

Oh yeah. Let me taste D. D, I felt like was one of the healthy ones.

SPEAKER_04 34:53

I think D is Ollipop. Is Poppy.

SPEAKER_06 34:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 34:58

Ireland. D is Olipop. Yes! Well, I will say I hate Poppy. Was B poppy? B is Stillers.

SPEAKER_06 35:08

Oh, and that was my second choice. I because I really like it.

SPEAKER_04 35:11

Oh, I just think these colors, B and D, look best with Poppy.

SPEAKER_06 35:16

So then what was A? A was my favorite.

SPEAKER_02 35:18

A is Poppy.

SPEAKER_06 35:20

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 35:21

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 35:22

That's crazy to me because this looks so fake. Like it looks like grenadine, and you don't really think of that as poppy.

SPEAKER_04 35:29

It's kind of tasting like grenadine. I like what? It's I actually like it. I know you can't smell, but it's smells like that. I can't sell anything. Does that mean that C was Boylin?

SPEAKER_06 35:40

Boylan?

SPEAKER_04 35:41

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 35:41

And that was our least favorite.

SPEAKER_04 35:44

Sorry, Bolin. I'm sure you have a good ginger ale, but you're um their other drinks are so good. This is disgusting.

SPEAKER_06 35:51

Yeah, I'm so sorry, Boylan. C, you're not, you're not doing it.

unknown 35:55

Wow.

SPEAKER_04 35:55

And the more I drink it, well, I get I think they're being watered down by the ice.

SPEAKER_06 35:59

Yeah. I don't really like poppy, so this is crazy to me.

SPEAKER_04 36:02

I hate poppy, so this is crazy to me too. I'm an olipop girly.

SPEAKER_06 36:07

Wow.

SPEAKER_04 36:08

You gotta hold up your favorite ones.

SPEAKER_06 36:10

Yeah, so my favorite was the poppy, the prebiotic Shirley Temple.

SPEAKER_04 36:17

And mine was the Olipop?

SPEAKER_06 36:20

Yes. Wow. Oh, I love this. There's just something about a Shirley Temple that you can't get.

SPEAKER_04 36:28

Do you how many Shirley Temples? Like when you would go out to dinner and you would order a Shirley Temple? Did you have like five?

SPEAKER_06 36:35

Probably, and then my parents were like, you have to stop. But I really like a Roy Rogers. That's my ideal Bevi.

SPEAKER_04 36:40

When we would go out with my cousins, the two boys, they would always get that. So I always just thought that was for boys and Shirley's were for girls.

SPEAKER_06 36:47

That was some that was like the binary that our society forced us to live in as a child. But I like it with Coca-Cola.

SPEAKER_04 36:53

Like, no, I think it would be delicious. Um, I don't like a dirty Shirley.

SPEAKER_06 36:59

I do. And our friend and former guest, Casey Elsass, has a great recipe in his book, What Can I Bring, for dirty Shirley Jell O Shots. And they're delicious.

SPEAKER_04 37:09

Yeah, well, that's different. A jello shot's different.

SPEAKER_06 37:11

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 37:12

But I love a Shirley Temple. I wish it was like I could. I mean, I guess you can.

SPEAKER_06 37:16

I order as a non-drinker, I order them all the time.

SPEAKER_04 37:18

You do? You say, Can I have a Shirley Temple?

SPEAKER_06 37:20

Yep. Unironically. And you know what has the best Shirley Temple in New York City? The view, not the TV show.

SPEAKER_04 37:28

Yeah. Oh, the rotating restaurant in Times Square.

SPEAKER_06 37:33

They have the best Shirley Temple. I think they make their own grenadine. New York Times is a great recipe for homemade grenadine. And I think that Dan Pelosi wrote, actually. I think. But that Shirley Temple there, it's a homemade Shirley Temple. It is incredible. It's so good.

SPEAKER_04 37:50

I remember once going out to dinner in New Jersey with my grandma. It was just like a big family dinner at an Italian restaurant, and I got a Shirley Temple. And I think about this a lot because I'm so embarrassed. You know those things that just like don't leave you?

SPEAKER_06 38:04

I have many of them.

SPEAKER_04 38:05

I got my Shirley Temple and took a sip. And the waiter came over and I said, Can you um actually I'd like to send this back? Is this too strong? And my grandmother was like, What? Like I sent it back like the drink was too strong and had like too much grenadine and I didn't like it. And my grandma laughed at me and I was so embarrassed.

SPEAKER_06 38:24

That those things like stick with you. Yeah. Especially embarrassment.

SPEAKER_04 38:27

Like, yeah, it's like that.

SPEAKER_06 38:28

Like, I would rather feel angry than embarrassed.

SPEAKER_04 38:32

Yeah, I was embarrassed because it was like such a stupid little girl thing, but I was like, I'm sending it back. Like, I can't drink this.

SPEAKER_06 38:38

Oh, I know.

SPEAKER_04 38:39

That is so sad. She still loved me.

SPEAKER_06 38:43

Yes, I'm sure I'm sure she did, even though you sent back Shirley Temple. Emily, what is your next obsession? Your last and final, actually.

SPEAKER_04 38:50

So I was in Miami. I don't know if you heard or seen. Um and I like I always actually, before I was pregnant, and even like just in general, I always like throw something into my bag to have something. Like if I'm going to the beach, I like have a beach snack.

SPEAKER_03 39:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 39:04

Or I'm like throw it into my bag. I'm out all day. Like, what if I get hungry?

SPEAKER_03 39:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 39:08

Um, and I was at Whole Foods in Miami Beach, and I saw these, they're called Smash Foods.

SPEAKER_06 39:15

Cute. Cute.

SPEAKER_04 39:17

And they're little. I got all the flavors for us to try, but they're little, they call them jam-packed bites. So smash is I originally saw this company, it's over by the peanut butter and jellies at Whole Foods, and they're jams.

SPEAKER_06 39:30

I was gonna say it says jam-packed bites.

SPEAKER_04 39:32

Right. So the jams are what I knew them from. And now they have bites, and they're pretty healthy. Like, so there's three different flavors. This is the sunflower butter, strawberry, cashew butter, and blueberry, and you have the chocolate, peanut butter, and raspberry. Yes, and they're basically dates. They're the main base is dates, and then with their smash signature product, jam on the inside. And they all are kind of like filled with protein. But I threw them in the fridge at the hotel and then I would throw them in my bag when I went to the beach just to have like a little something if I got hungry. They're gluten-free, they're vegan.

SPEAKER_06 40:07

You and they're found in the refrigerated section?

SPEAKER_04 40:09

No, they're not refrigerated. I threw them in because I was going to the beach the next day. So I was like, if I'm in the sun, they can stay colder a little bit longer. But then one day I didn't, and they were fine.

SPEAKER_06 40:19

The cashew butter and blueberry one is delicious. I gotta say, I didn't not really like that one.

SPEAKER_04 40:24

Oh, I like that one.

SPEAKER_06 40:25

That one is a chocolate, peanut butter, yeah, and raspberry.

SPEAKER_04 40:30

Um this one's kind of boring, but sunflower butter because I think it's like for kids, and like if you can't have peanut butter, sunflower. Yeah. So I eat them in half because I like want to see the inside.

SPEAKER_06 40:40

It's like a gusher.

SPEAKER_04 40:41

I had Mike try one, he popped the whole thing in his mouth. Um, but I think it's like a fun snack.

SPEAKER_06 40:47

Um yeah, I like them.

SPEAKER_04 40:49

It's small. I love a personal size. Because it can just like go anywhere with you. So that's my favorite snack. And I think it pairs nicely with my lollipop Shirley Temple.

SPEAKER_06 40:59

I know. What a little lovely African treat we have. We deserve this. We are going to play a round of obsessed or over it together. We don't often get to do it, so we're so excited. Yeah. Ireland hit us.

SPEAKER_04 41:50

But if they love me and always give me a table, obsessed.

SPEAKER_06 41:53

I like a neighborhood bistro like that.

SPEAKER_04 41:55

Yes. Do you have one?

SPEAKER_06 41:57

Um, yes, big tiny. Um I'm obsessed with it.

SPEAKER_02 42:01

I'm not, because I can I can't get in. Gentle parenting. Over it. Exclamation points in emails. Oh, obsessed. I do it every sentence.

SPEAKER_06 42:12

I think it's so performative.

SPEAKER_02 42:13

Oh my god. Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 42:15

Hallie had to talk to me about it as an assistant because I'd like to send these emails and they sounded so curt because I wasn't throwing them. It just sounds fake to me.

SPEAKER_01 42:23

Oh, interesting.

SPEAKER_06 42:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 42:25

Orange wine. Oh, obsessed.

SPEAKER_06 42:28

SPEAKER_06 42:51

So I'm obsessed with it. I really am.

SPEAKER_04 42:54

Would you go though?

SPEAKER_06 42:55

Emily. No.

SPEAKER_04 42:57

You're going to GovBall.

SPEAKER_06 42:59

Yes, because cat's eye.

SPEAKER_04 43:00

So you're kind of obsessed.

SPEAKER_06 43:02

Yeah, that's different. Like I think of going to a festival as like having to get on a plane. That's you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 43:07

Yeah, I guess. Like Coachella, would you do Coachella?

SPEAKER_06 43:11

No. Not even if Starbucks paid me$200,000 for it. That's what it's rumored to.

SPEAKER_04 43:15

Cut to when Starbucks offers us$200,000 to go.

SPEAKER_06 43:19

I would go.

SPEAKER_04 43:20

And a private plane, obviously.

SPEAKER_06 43:23

But Coachella?

SPEAKER_04 43:25

But like I would only go Coachella with a brand, which would never happen. But like I'm not going as a normal thing.

SPEAKER_06 43:32

You know, I'm the biggest Sabrina Carpenter fan. And even that couldn't get me there. Interesting. I don't think so. I just it looks so bleak to me.

SPEAKER_04 43:43

Yeah, I mean, what you see is definitely not what you're getting in real life.

SPEAKER_06 43:46

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 43:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 43:47

Did you see all the lines that were empty because everyone's on Azempic?

SPEAKER_04 43:50

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 43:50

Incredible.

SPEAKER_04 43:51

Oh my god, we would have been first in line for all the food lines.

SPEAKER_06 43:53

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 43:54

That would get me over there, actually.

SPEAKER_06 43:56
