Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to Buns and Banter, a podcast buy work Busties
for work Busties. Hey, I'm Lauren and I'm Ali. We're
both morning show hosts for iHeartMedia.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We're both millennials.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
And we're both trying to figure out how to build
the lives. We dream about dating, marriage, career, career, and
being a mom. How to get through a week without crying.
Welcome to Buns and Banter. We're glad you're here. I
wore terrible shoes. I can't kick them off today. They're fine,
but I did my oh free feet pick opportunity. Ah No,
(00:38):
we don't often do it for free. You have to vend.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Moll me five dollars if you just screenshoted that her.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
She's my manager. I posted I boasted my ankles on
TikTok because I saw this amazing millennial that was like listen,
gen z. The ankles are the skinniest part of me,
so I will be showing them off without your sock.
I am not wearing what are they called tube sox,
not tupsocks. There's tub socks is like ankle socks. They
(01:04):
do all of them, don't they. Yeah, No, these bad
boys are gonna breathe and make me still feel as
youthful as I do in my mind. I know, so
as Schmidt and the men. If you want to take
a it's like a close up footshot. I'm doing anything
I can to make it.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
And then you have to venmo her five dollars at
the very least, the very least, And.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
That's that's like kind of where I'm at this week.
Free free feet pick is the most kind of energy
I have to give.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
They do say that's how you grow your following online
is to offer people something for free. Yeah, a link
in your bio, but it could be some free feet
picks this week.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, I just I stumbled down this rabbit hole of
millennial TikTok that made me feel half old, half great.
I mean, we've seen so many of the videos where
they're talking about how millennials are aging gracefully beautifully. We
everybody is marine fountain of youth. But there's this woman
(02:02):
in the UK I follow She's hysterical and she was
talking about going out with her coworkers. She said she's
about to turn thirty eight. It was like not as
old as I am at all. And she went out
with twenty two to twenty five year olds. No, I would,
I wouldn't. First problem, No, it's not gonna be nice.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It's not gonna feel good. And she's like, it's just
with her British accent. It was so perfect where she goes,
obviously we're gonna get along great because I too, am
like twenty two. I mean, you just still feel that way,
and she goes. Things started to get a little sketchy
when we were talking about songs that came out the
year you were born, and I realized the songs that
came out the year they were born. I was dancing too,
and I was like twelve. And then we talked about
(02:44):
middle age. And when I asked them what they thought
middle age was and they said thirty eight, I fell
out of my chair, grabbed my tab and ended that
coworker dinner immediately, immediately, immediately, and I thought, I'm reading
through the comments on here, and people are like, God,
why are all millennials the same way, Like you all
still think you're like eighteen and cool? And I was like,
(03:08):
I don't know. Then I read and let the Internet
take care of it. And this woman was like she
summed it up perfectly. She goes, well, I feel like
millennials are the first generation that are still very much
struggling well into their thirties and early forties. So we
don't want to consider ourselves adults because we're not able
to do adult things, And it just makes more sense
to trap ourselves in the mindset of an early twenties
person because that's where we're still at financially and professionally.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And just just you know, wait ten years and then
we'll check back in with you and you can tell
us what ag.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You feel like you're at that smile, you know, perfect
smile for it.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Because it's so easy to be like so judgy of
older generations, and like I see it right, like we're
there's like all of this new technology and things are
happening so fast, and like I try to be very
patient with people who maybe are not as familiar as
the technology I grew up using, because I know that
(04:06):
at some point I'm going to be that person. Like
my niece is taking coding in school. I don't know
how to code anything. So if I'm gonna need their help,
I need to be very nice about it, and I
need to like make a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Effort respect your elders, and.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I hope that they are nice to me back when
I ask them so many questions.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
It's just so it's so crazy. Will came home with
his first math assignment and I was like, oh, and
I mean, we did it, but I didn't really fully
understand it. He's in first grade, I'll be honest, And
I was just like, is this because it's the new
math and maybe I learned the old math? Or am
(04:47):
I just still dumb? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You have to like relearn all of this stuff with them,
all of it.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah? No, I did you know the alphabet change? Yeah?
What I know?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Like the alphabet song that's been since the of time
the dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I know, I'm telling you. I just I was like
sucked down this hole, this black hole on TikTok, making
me feel like I need my botox and my AARP card.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Stat I am feeling very wrinkly and like all of
a sudden because I read an article online not too
long ago that basically said that there are two like
women don't age a little bit every single year, there
are two stages in your life where you age like
drastically at one period and then it's like another decade
(05:34):
or decade and a half, and then you age drastically again.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Really it's like twenty one and like forty.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh, and like those are the two times where like
you'll just it's overnight and you just see it. And
I was like, oh shit, I don't feel like, no,
how about thirty three. I'm gonna be thirty three on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I say, one of us is closer to that forty
age range when you are one of us is.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
But see that's the thing, is like I feel like
I'm forty already. No, yeah, it's just because we never sleep.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, I said that too. I was like I did
this on the air. I said, who has like a
great hack for looking and feeling younger? If like I
don't get enough exercise, water, sleep, or vegetables. And I'm
not going to change any of that, but I would
still like the wonderful results. Yeah. Like I'm at the
point where I understand none of those things can really
(06:31):
be changed. I started walking and like, I am now
my right hip hearts. Oh yeah, that's stupid, but it
and so I'm like, this is dumb. My son came
up to me the other day. He ran to give
me a hug, and he said, Mom, you feel like
a bed oh, meaning my body feels like a memory
foam mattress to him.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
No, No, that's not what he meant. He meant you
feel so go ahead safe like comforting. To me, it's
so nice, that's what he meant.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I think he meant that my belly could act as
one of those weird jumpy things you see at the
apple orchard. That's great.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, And I do feel like I am officially at
the age where like I'm gonna start getting into the
weird fitness sh it.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah. Yeah, Like I scene trampolines, like mini trampolines. Love it,
love it, yes, yes love.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
NASA said that rebounding on a mini trampoline for ten
minutes was better for you than going for a thirty
minute jog. Are you and you're sold as well? I'll
buy you one too. We can do it together. Well
ten minutes you had me at NASA. Ten minutes on
a mini trampoline. Rebounding is better for your cardiovascular health
than running for thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You know one thing I'll say about TikTok. They're gonna
somehow have real cute, freaking trampolines to buy in like
a week one hundred percent are be like they already do.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But I was at my parents' house over the weekend
and we still have the one from when I was
a child.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Wait in the basement. Oh, like the tiny one. Yes,
does it have the handlebar?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Okay, my kids have the one with the handlebar. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I feel like that's the way to go, because you know,
falls at this age, a fall girl.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
One of my hips is already after I can't spare
the other one.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And it's supposed to be really good for her lymphatic drainage.
Oh my god, you know, which is like when you
get puffy places and you just don't You've got the
bouncing is supposed to be it's supposed to be good
for that.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
You do that when you're pregnant. They got a ball. Oh,
they say it's great for labor. We're supposed to get
things moving. It didn't work for me. But there's so
many things. My oldest sister is pregnant with her first baby.
Oh I saw the pictures. Yes, so I'm super excited.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I get to meet my next little Mini Mac Munchkin
and Mini Man December. But you know, with each pregnancy,
because my middle sister has three kids, So you know,
I feel like I kind of know some stuff, but
then there's just like there's other you just keep googling,
and there's no shortage of information about pregnancy. Yeah, and
(09:19):
like this stuff that some people know and some people
don't know. And I'm like, what did people do before Google?
Like this information was not just like available if you
wanted to search these things.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It's wild, it's insane. I don't know how I've I don't.
I don't know how I did two of them and did.
I'm good. We're so go ahead leave that out of
the comments section. I got to ask that again last week,
thinking about a third, I was like, my daughter pooped
on a neighbor's fence. No, I'm not thinking about a third.
(09:53):
As soon as I get my second one fully potty trained,
i am done. I am retired for children. I will
see them through to adulthood. But no, I'm not. Nope,
couldn't go back. Love it, Love it for whoever wants that.
That's fabulous. But when you have a visceral reaction to
someone telling you that they're having another child. This happened
(10:15):
to me on a party bus. Two years ago, we
were taking a party bus around for a Pulaski Days,
which is a local Polish festival in West Michigan. Yeah,
and the guy was a representative from I think cors
Light and he was kind of in charge of everything.
They sponsored the bus with listeners whatever. So fun it was.
And we got to talking and I said, you know,
this is really cool. You're out here, like you working
(10:37):
a fourteen sixteen hour day. That's intense. He goes, oh,
I'm thrilled. This is my first time out of the
house in like a month. My wife just had a baby.
And I was like, oh my god, congratulations. He's like thanks,
we're really excited. And he goes, we had three and
she wanted more. She wanted five kids, and I said
(10:57):
that's a lot. And he goes, may you will try
for one more. And they had twins. And I was like,
I mean I stumbled bahack, like physically stumbled on the bus.
I'm like, oh, he goes, yeah, no, we feel really blessed.
Five under nine. And I thought, you're never gonna have
(11:18):
any money, money or sleep or like they'll put you
in a nice home, hopefully, because I.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Think so not the way this is. Then you're going,
this is.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So damn tired, I know. And that's when I realized.
I'm like, there's the closure I needed. Like if that's
my reaction because at that point, yeah, I had I
would have had Sophia would have been like eight ten
months old when he said that to me, and I
was like, I know, is it rushtag blessed but ashtag
bless Is it like rude to ask?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Like I know these people who are pregnant with these
babies that are very friends, but like, I can't lie.
There's a part of me that wants to be like,
so the money thing, like how are you going to
make how do we.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Make this work? I would love to know how do
we do this? Because I never I never lied. I
was just like, oh, I don't know. I expect to
live in debt like I would.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I would have no concept idea educated guests on what
it might cost to bring a baby home from the
hospital and like buy diapers and formula if you need it,
and like all of the things that you have to
keep a child. I would have no idea what any
(12:33):
of that would cost.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But you don't know, because you never I don't know.
Maybe there's people that are better at financial planning show.
I never know knew. I just know I did it.
I bought it and like paid as much of the
credit card as I could at the end of the month,
right because I mean, you know, I can barely do
those things for myself and then pay off the credit
card at the end of the month. Oh my god.
I don't know if this is major algorithm yet. Maybe
(12:57):
it's just for the emotional moms. Have you seen the
TikTok trend? She deserves the purse?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Oh man, I literally just got served it like this morning,
and it's this woman who is going around and I've
seen stories like this and sticking twenty dollars bills in
like the tops of formula and into diaper bags and
into things that like new moms would buy, so they'd
open it up and just find like a little bit
of extra cash. And she got back in her car
(13:24):
and all she said was she deserves the purse. And
it's turned into this whole thing where like mom sacrifice
so much. It's like they don't buy new things for themselves,
they don't treat themselves. They're just so focused on trying
to be a good mom and constantly feeling that they're
never making the mark, that it's rare they take any
time to really praise how well they're doing. Let me
tell you sitting in my studio sabin, because it was
(13:49):
just it was such a perfect example of I think
what women especially do in being new moms. And this
girl was just like she's probably in her early twenties,
just like sticking just bills of money and different things
around like a grocery store, and just said she deserves
the purse.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Let me ask you this coming from someone who does
not have any children. If I were to go were
to come to you a mom of two and be like, hey,
you're doing a really great job.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Oh, I would immediately tell you all the things I'm
doing wrong and not accept the compliment.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
But like, what my question is doesn't mean less from
someone who like doesn't have kids, like or like a stranger, like,
how the fuck would you know how I'm doing as
a mom. You're not my kids, like you're not my husband,
like you don't get to see or you know.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Because no, I think it does still fully mean it
means a lot because I'm just assuming that maybe you
watch like the things that I post on social media,
or you hear me discuss it on my shows or
on the podcast. It does still mean the same to
me whether or not you have kids.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, because that is something I think about with my
friends who have kids, is that you lose your identity
a lot when you have a child, because it's like
you're not Ali anymore. Your so and so's mom now, right,
and like that's and like people will be like, how
are you doing, mama, and it's like, yeah, how are
(15:17):
you doing?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Lauren. Whenever I would go and visit friends that had
just had babies, I would never ask about the baby first, right.
I think a lot of new moms do, like know
that they'll come in. I always had gifts that I
gave her first, or I was wine, if it was food,
and it was always like a hug to her eye contact,
not picking the baby up yet, because I would really
(15:40):
like to just check in first on how you're doing,
because I bet like not a lot of people have
asked that yet, Right, where's the baby?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Look at shit, you're so hyper aware. That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Well, I mean, like I try, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But that's that counts just as much too. Oh That's
why I adore. This woman I follow named Lindsay Girk,
and she started the company Get Your Pink Patch Your
Pink Back. Yeah, I follow her too, I adore. I'm like,
oh my gosh, she's got this whole brand she's built now.
Because flamingos pretty much lose all of their pink when
they have their kids because they're giving so much nutrients
and energy to their baby flamingos, it's like two or
(16:16):
three years before they get their pink back. Wow, I know.
And I'm like, I mean, I do have my pink
every day, but some days are pinker than others.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
What if you don't have it going in? Just gray flamingos.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I also I also feel that. Let me tell you.
The other day, I was like, hey, you guys, do
you want to watch some Halloween movies? And Will goes
how many? I go like twelve? I have nothing me today?
You just want to put on them? He that lunch,
I said, I will you get you get in that
little movie room and I will just keep on streaming. Yeah,
(16:51):
and sometimes there's days that I have to do that.
It was my couch rot day. I felt so proud
because you've taught me that couchrot.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
You've taught me the ways you need it. You need
to rest like that, And honestly, I think your kids.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Probably also do. I think so too.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I think they also need a day where they just
don't do anything. And I know, like the screen time
and we're so worried about them watching TV and whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
But like I grew up doing it. I'm okay. Look
and driving, okay, use another example. But it does make
me feel better when I read the articles though, that's like, hey,
stop overscheduling your kids. It's cool if they're just sitting
in the backyard for four hours with no actual structure. Yeah,
I mean, oh thank god.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Every second of my day was not planned out as
a kid. Like my parents both worked full time year
round because my dad was a teacher and a coach.
My mom had a job. So like in the summer,
they were like, hey, good luck, see you in the streets.
You get hurt today doing whatever you get up to.
(17:56):
I'm like, I'm not gonna lie. A lot of the
times it was like Cereal and Disney Channel. Oh like,
maybe walk outside to get the mail. That sounds like
a dream of a day. Talk take the dog out
on it, Like I was. Don't you feel like we
were literally retired in the summers, especially middle school, because
(18:16):
it was like you were a little more independent, you
were a little more autonomous. You could do that, like
you could ride your bike places and like see people,
and that was the first time where you didn't need
to like.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Hey can I do this? Hey can I do this?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Like you can just if you wanted to ride your
bike to the kid in the neighborhood that you used
to hang out with, you could do that, yeah, or
to the pool or whatever and just be back for
your parents got home.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And it felt, oh, man, I don't know if you
would have had this. Maybe we're far enough apart an
age that you wouldn't have, but like we still had
the privacy enough too. Once you could get to that
point and like go do things on your own, you
didn't have to call on the landline and like wait
for the other person's parent like pick up, decide if
you can talk, maybe your parents listening on the other line.
I remember feeling like so many of my secrets were
(19:00):
kept because this was a little before our cell phones. Yeah,
that was oot. I didn't have a cell phone till
the sixteen, and I just remember being like bike independence
where I could go and like see what's up. Like
I didn't even have to call before I came.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
And like once you leave the house, yeah i'll be
back by seven or eight. There was no communication until
you got back at seven or eight.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And that is just miles west.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's got to be such a weird thing for a
parent our age, Yeah, to like have grown up not
having constant communication. But now it's ingrained in us, right,
Like we get a hold of people immediately all the time.
If I can't get a hold of you via text,
I'm gonna call you, I'm gonna leave a message, I'm
gonna email you, I'm gonna DM you, I'm gonna WhatsApp
(19:46):
you like up And now our kids, it's like you
can't escape anything.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You cannot escape us. Well, it's crazy. Sometimes I feel
like a lax shitty parent because like there's parents in
our neighborhood that like do not allow their children out
of their sight. It's like mine, mine, I'm like, yeah,
you can take off on your bike, just like keep
it in the cull to sack. And there's like some
kids that live down the street, but I know they
don't have to cross the street to get there. We've
(20:10):
got sidewalks, and that's like like one of my neighbors
is like, oh, I could never let them like out
of my site. I'll have to walk down there with
them like supervise the play. And I'm like, oh, am
I a bad parent because I don't do that. I
just figure they're responsible enough, and you know what, give
it ten years and then we'll make that call.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, we'll see, we'll see, cause there were you know
when I feel like the strictest parents once their kids
got off to college where they was, they were off the.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Leash a little bit. It was like what the heck
is going on? Rum spring a, yes, yes, exactly, yes,
And I always point those kids out.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
And when I was it like my parents were super cool,
very relaxed. I mean, they had rules, and I was
a rule follower for the modelst part. But like when
I went to college, I was like, this is boring.
I've already done all this. This isn't exciting and like
sexy to me.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
This is like how you were so cool. I was
a late bloomer. I looked up to people like you
so much. I was like, oh man, I was so
scared of everyone in every situation. In high school, I
went a little I think, a wild wild but I
came out of my shell in college. Good for you,
Good for you. That Some might have called me a hoe,
but it was it was lessons learned in life, wasn't it. Listen,
(21:34):
we give me feel really great though we all have
to learn. We all have to learn. You all have
to live learn. Oh are you? That's another five dollars
on Venmo. God, thank you. You feel really good? Yeah, yeah,
m hm.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Speaking of cow trotting, I want to tell you about
two programs, my programs that I've watched recently, My programs.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
One of them is.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
The new movie on Netflix with Elizabeth Olsen and Natasha
Leone and I don't know who the other girl is, Sisters.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
His three daughters or something whatever. I think it's called Sisters.
Holy Shit's Keys. I saw the trailer.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
It made me ball, not until the very end, because
it's like a very It's like it gets the dynamic.
It's about a father of three women who is at
the end of his life and they all have to
like be in the same house again while he's on
like hospice or something like that. Yeah, and just the
(22:47):
dynamic of where they're all at different places in their
life and they're all very different, but they all have
to share this space and come together for him, and
like it nails the dynamic. It's too real, it's too real,
and these are these girls are fantastic actors and just.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Oh, I wasn't ready for that yesterday. Oh you, I
really wasn't. You watched it on a month. It's hard. Yeah,
it's a movie. It's a movie. Okay, yeah, I could
tell if it was a movie or like limited series.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's not super long. It's like an hour forty five.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
But yeah, I was not ready for that one yesterday.
So then I was like, I need something to bring
it up a little bit. So I started watching Monsters
the Lyle and Eric Menendez.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
What are your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I don't know enough about the case, Oh girl, I
don't know enough about like what happened, because it seems
like there were a lot of other big things happening
at the time that this was going on, like the
OJ thing overlapped with this case, which was very important,
but like they didn't really address that in the no.
So I've started it and I have fallen asleep three
(23:58):
times real.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yes, And I don't know. I've watched probably four specials
on the Menanda's Brothers, what are they called. There's a
great one on There's a great one on Hulu. I
believe there's like an ABC News special one. But it
was just I don't know. I was really excited too,
(24:20):
because the cast seems really great. I love Javier Bardem,
I love can never mirror Sorvino. Is that who plays
the mom Chloe seven? Ye thank you. They both have
those weird last names that I love. Yeah, I was
really excited and I'm going to try to make it
through to the end. But there was so much. I
think if you watch documentaries first, I might ruin it
for you because there is a lot that they don't
(24:41):
come to. Yeah, but there's a special coming to Netflix
in a week where they speak from prison.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I got timing right on something they did.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You should watch that. And then they haven't spoke, like
they haven't officially spoken. I don't think outside of like
writing on face this book and stuff. Because they trashed
the special on Facebook. Oh so I know. I was like,
you get Facebook in prison, but apparently they do, and
they're gonna speak out in this like special Netflix doc
coming out on October seventh. Wow, I know I was
(25:14):
interested because that's something I just started watching as well.
I had to take a break because I'm like, very
dark and graphic. I will tell you super Ryan Murphy though,
that's like I forget that he did it. Yeah, he's
the American horror story guy. So like I didn't know
that going into it, and then like after the first episode,
I was like, oh, yeah, yeah the scene, I was like, oh, oh,
(25:36):
they're just gonna keep showing it. Yeah, he has nothing
left on his face, right, Yeah. Yeah. But it's it's
so weird because.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
In each episode, I love them and hate them and
love them and hate them and love them and hate them,
and I you know, I think they're guilty, and then
I think they're innocent, and I think they're guilty, and
then I think they're innocent, and then I'm like, oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
It's to me really interesting to watch some of these
cases that took place long enough ago that tech and
social weren't really a thing. Because what I think they
say that they're going to address in this new documentary
coming out is the TikTok phenomenon, which is all of
these like Alpha and gen Z people that started to
(26:21):
salute this believe they're that they had a rightful reason
for killing their parents, and they don't know a lot
of this having been in prison since like ninety ninety one,
I think is I don't remember the dates and so
they so they don't.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Get out spoiler alert, spoiler alert, the don't well, I
guess they don't have to watch the last episode.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I don't go, no, but I think you should because like,
it's it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
There's two trials. Yeah, it's it's it's wild. See I
know I know some of the stuff. Yeah, I know
some of the stuff. And I know that like the
first trial was so much different than the second trial.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And they weren't even able to talk about what they
think is the biggest part of this in the second trial.
Oh really, it'll be fascinating. I'm excited for the documentary
to come out, but I've just watched so, I mean,
you know, I'm such a freaking salute for crime. I
love a good crime doc and I've watched so many
on the Brothers. But who were some of the I'm
(27:21):
not getting paid by Netflix. I'm just really excited because
they're like phone calling and stuff and like being a
part of this and they've okayed everything and they're gonna
talk about it. Oh man.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
And they are still in prison.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
They are together, which is nice. Same cell. I don't
know if same cell, but that was a big part
of it at one point where they were like, can
we just please be in the same like correctional facility.
They're super tight.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
It's really sad, right, Like, it's really really sad. It's
a sad story. If you don't know about it, a
quick Google will tell you everything you need to know
and just a couple of sentences. But at times I'm like,
what did you think was gonna happen? What did you
think was gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
And like, I just.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
They had so many other options. Yeah, they had so
many other options.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
It's oh man, I could deep dive on this. This
was one of my This is one of my Slay
and Sleigh shows. So my friend and I go and
do a hotel room around Christmas every year and we
call it Slay and Sleigh because it's like Santa Sleigh,
and then we go and watch a crime doc. We
did The Menandaz Brothers for one of them, we watched
like two documentaries back to back. Yeah, it's just it's
(28:34):
it'll be very interesting to hear from them if you
really get to a lot with this new Netflix doc
I had to take a break. I branched off of
the Menendez watch through till like the I think maybe
I'm a quarter of the way through the second episode
and I started The Perfect Couple.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Okay, I have watched the preview for that so many times,
and I just like cannot get over the fact that
it is is Knives Out?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Is it Knives Out?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
God?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
You know the movie Yes with Daniel Craig and he's
the detective.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, and it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Is that it's the same premise, like a murder happens,
it's a who done it? They are all get locked
in on this family compound until they solve the mystery.
And I'm like, have we no opportunity is left? Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Shoot, you're probably right.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
And I just for some reason, the cast is not
super interesting to me.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Different. Yeah, I'm I'm just interested in Like, I'm interested
to know if I've already guessed it, that'll be disappointing.
I'm only like two episodes in, like, oh, I bet
it's this, so now I have to see it through.
But I'm rarely right because I'm really bad at guessing stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It just seems like the characters are all so predictable,
like you just you know exactly who they are, and
like I just was it just didn't do it for me.
I've watched the preview because it comes up after you
finish every single thing on Netflix. It like shows you
all the next previews, and I've seen it like seventy
five thousand times, and my Netflix is probably like, why aren't.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
You watching this? This is felt who we want to
watch this?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
And I'm like, I'm sorry, I just it's not I
don't I'm not there yet. But I usually catch up
like two or three months after I see like everybody
has watched it, and then I'm like, okay, I'll give
it a go.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Oh my, you're then you were very entrend with the
menendez Is. They're in their moment as we speak.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I know that that was a new one, and I
really didn't have any intention like I had. I hadn't
seen any previews. I hadn't seen anything. It just popped
up yesterday after the movie and I was like, oh
my god, anything else.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I am in a state.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I am in a state. It was so good, it
was so good, but it was just at the end,
like the last ten minutes, I was seriously.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Like, you've got you nailed it that I'm gonna do. I'm
gonna watch it.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
By myself, like using this blanket that's covering me.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Just it was this season. People don't talk enough about it.
They're like pumpkin spice, Apple Orchard's Halloween, and it's like
I want to be under a thick ass blanket blowing
my nose into said blanket because there's some sad shit
on TV. Yeah, I love this weather for that. Any
thing outside it's raining gross to me, maybe I'm sad
(31:27):
or something. Serial Killer to me.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Was like, what do you want to do this weekend
for your birthday? And I was like nothing, I don't
want to leave the couch. Like he was like not
even like go out for drinks and dinner. And I
was like, that's so nice. Can we do that in
like two weeks? Like I just I don't, Oh, I
don't have it in me.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
You should get multiple door dashes and just have like
a buffet of all your favorite things. That's what he said,
of course he did. We stand Yimmy, he knows.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
He was like, I'll just get really nice door dash
and I was like, what's really nice DoorDash like a
restaurant or like, what is really nice DoorDash?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Because Chris would think it was like multiple cravings boxes
from Taco Bell for me, and he'd be like, happy birthday,
and I'd be like, I could cry.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
This is so perfect. I'm I'd actually love that. I
would I would love that honestly.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Oh that sounds so perfect. This is thirty three. Someone
intervene
Welcome to Buns and Banter, a podcast buy work Busties
for work Busties. Hey, I'm Lauren and I'm Ali. We're
both morning show hosts for iHeartMedia.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We're both millennials.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
And we're both trying to figure out how to build
the lives. We dream about dating, marriage, career, career, and
being a mom. How to get through a week without crying.
Welcome to Buns and Banter. We're glad you're here. I
wore terrible shoes. I can't kick them off today. They're fine,
but I did my oh free feet pick opportunity. Ah No,
(00:38):
we don't often do it for free. You have to vend.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Moll me five dollars if you just screenshoted that her.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
She's my manager. I posted I boasted my ankles on
TikTok because I saw this amazing millennial that was like listen,
gen z. The ankles are the skinniest part of me,
so I will be showing them off without your sock.
I am not wearing what are they called tube sox,
not tupsocks. There's tub socks is like ankle socks. They
(01:04):
do all of them, don't they. Yeah, No, these bad
boys are gonna breathe and make me still feel as
youthful as I do in my mind. I know, so
as Schmidt and the men. If you want to take
a it's like a close up footshot. I'm doing anything
I can to make it.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
And then you have to venmo her five dollars at
the very least, the very least, And.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
That's that's like kind of where I'm at this week.
Free free feet pick is the most kind of energy
I have to give.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
They do say that's how you grow your following online
is to offer people something for free. Yeah, a link
in your bio, but it could be some free feet
picks this week.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, I just I stumbled down this rabbit hole of
millennial TikTok that made me feel half old, half great.
I mean, we've seen so many of the videos where
they're talking about how millennials are aging gracefully beautifully. We
everybody is marine fountain of youth. But there's this woman
(02:02):
in the UK I follow She's hysterical and she was
talking about going out with her coworkers. She said she's
about to turn thirty eight. It was like not as
old as I am at all. And she went out
with twenty two to twenty five year olds. No, I would,
I wouldn't. First problem, No, it's not gonna be nice.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It's not gonna feel good. And she's like, it's just
with her British accent. It was so perfect where she goes,
obviously we're gonna get along great because I too, am
like twenty two. I mean, you just still feel that way,
and she goes. Things started to get a little sketchy
when we were talking about songs that came out the
year you were born, and I realized the songs that
came out the year they were born. I was dancing too,
and I was like twelve. And then we talked about
(02:44):
middle age. And when I asked them what they thought
middle age was and they said thirty eight, I fell
out of my chair, grabbed my tab and ended that
coworker dinner immediately, immediately, immediately, and I thought, I'm reading
through the comments on here, and people are like, God,
why are all millennials the same way, Like you all
still think you're like eighteen and cool? And I was like,
(03:08):
I don't know. Then I read and let the Internet
take care of it. And this woman was like she
summed it up perfectly. She goes, well, I feel like
millennials are the first generation that are still very much
struggling well into their thirties and early forties. So we
don't want to consider ourselves adults because we're not able
to do adult things, And it just makes more sense
to trap ourselves in the mindset of an early twenties
person because that's where we're still at financially and professionally.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And just just you know, wait ten years and then
we'll check back in with you and you can tell
us what ag.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You feel like you're at that smile, you know, perfect
smile for it.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Because it's so easy to be like so judgy of
older generations, and like I see it right, like we're
there's like all of this new technology and things are
happening so fast, and like I try to be very
patient with people who maybe are not as familiar as
the technology I grew up using, because I know that
(04:06):
at some point I'm going to be that person. Like
my niece is taking coding in school. I don't know
how to code anything. So if I'm gonna need their help,
I need to be very nice about it, and I
need to like make a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Effort respect your elders, and.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I hope that they are nice to me back when
I ask them so many questions.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
It's just so it's so crazy. Will came home with
his first math assignment and I was like, oh, and
I mean, we did it, but I didn't really fully
understand it. He's in first grade, I'll be honest, And
I was just like, is this because it's the new
math and maybe I learned the old math? Or am
(04:47):
I just still dumb? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You have to like relearn all of this stuff with them,
all of it.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah? No, I did you know the alphabet change? Yeah?
What I know?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Like the alphabet song that's been since the of time
the dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I know, I'm telling you. I just I was like
sucked down this hole, this black hole on TikTok, making
me feel like I need my botox and my AARP card.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Stat I am feeling very wrinkly and like all of
a sudden because I read an article online not too
long ago that basically said that there are two like
women don't age a little bit every single year, there
are two stages in your life where you age like
drastically at one period and then it's like another decade
(05:34):
or decade and a half, and then you age drastically again.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Really it's like twenty one and like forty.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh, and like those are the two times where like
you'll just it's overnight and you just see it. And
I was like, oh shit, I don't feel like, no,
how about thirty three. I'm gonna be thirty three on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I say, one of us is closer to that forty
age range when you are one of us is.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
But see that's the thing, is like I feel like
I'm forty already. No, yeah, it's just because we never sleep.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, I said that too. I was like I did
this on the air. I said, who has like a
great hack for looking and feeling younger? If like I
don't get enough exercise, water, sleep, or vegetables. And I'm
not going to change any of that, but I would
still like the wonderful results. Yeah. Like I'm at the
point where I understand none of those things can really
(06:31):
be changed. I started walking and like, I am now
my right hip hearts. Oh yeah, that's stupid, but it
and so I'm like, this is dumb. My son came
up to me the other day. He ran to give
me a hug, and he said, Mom, you feel like
a bed oh, meaning my body feels like a memory
foam mattress to him.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
No, No, that's not what he meant. He meant you
feel so go ahead safe like comforting. To me, it's
so nice, that's what he meant.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I think he meant that my belly could act as
one of those weird jumpy things you see at the
apple orchard. That's great.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, And I do feel like I am officially at
the age where like I'm gonna start getting into the
weird fitness sh it.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah. Yeah, Like I scene trampolines, like mini trampolines. Love it,
love it, yes, yes love.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
NASA said that rebounding on a mini trampoline for ten
minutes was better for you than going for a thirty
minute jog. Are you and you're sold as well? I'll
buy you one too. We can do it together. Well
ten minutes you had me at NASA. Ten minutes on
a mini trampoline. Rebounding is better for your cardiovascular health
than running for thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You know one thing I'll say about TikTok. They're gonna
somehow have real cute, freaking trampolines to buy in like
a week one hundred percent are be like they already do.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But I was at my parents' house over the weekend
and we still have the one from when I was
a child.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Wait in the basement. Oh, like the tiny one. Yes,
does it have the handlebar?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Okay, my kids have the one with the handlebar. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I feel like that's the way to go, because you know,
falls at this age, a fall girl.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
One of my hips is already after I can't spare
the other one.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And it's supposed to be really good for her lymphatic drainage.
Oh my god, you know, which is like when you
get puffy places and you just don't You've got the
bouncing is supposed to be it's supposed to be good
for that.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
You do that when you're pregnant. They got a ball. Oh,
they say it's great for labor. We're supposed to get
things moving. It didn't work for me. But there's so
many things. My oldest sister is pregnant with her first baby.
Oh I saw the pictures. Yes, so I'm super excited.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I get to meet my next little Mini Mac Munchkin
and Mini Man December. But you know, with each pregnancy,
because my middle sister has three kids, So you know,
I feel like I kind of know some stuff, but
then there's just like there's other you just keep googling,
and there's no shortage of information about pregnancy. Yeah, and
(09:19):
like this stuff that some people know and some people
don't know. And I'm like, what did people do before Google?
Like this information was not just like available if you
wanted to search these things.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It's wild, it's insane. I don't know how I've I don't.
I don't know how I did two of them and did.
I'm good. We're so go ahead leave that out of
the comments section. I got to ask that again last week,
thinking about a third, I was like, my daughter pooped
on a neighbor's fence. No, I'm not thinking about a third.
(09:53):
As soon as I get my second one fully potty trained,
i am done. I am retired for children. I will
see them through to adulthood. But no, I'm not. Nope,
couldn't go back. Love it, Love it for whoever wants that.
That's fabulous. But when you have a visceral reaction to
someone telling you that they're having another child. This happened
(10:15):
to me on a party bus. Two years ago, we
were taking a party bus around for a Pulaski Days,
which is a local Polish festival in West Michigan. Yeah,
and the guy was a representative from I think cors
Light and he was kind of in charge of everything.
They sponsored the bus with listeners whatever. So fun it was.
And we got to talking and I said, you know,
this is really cool. You're out here, like you working
(10:37):
a fourteen sixteen hour day. That's intense. He goes, oh,
I'm thrilled. This is my first time out of the
house in like a month. My wife just had a baby.
And I was like, oh my god, congratulations. He's like thanks,
we're really excited. And he goes, we had three and
she wanted more. She wanted five kids, and I said
(10:57):
that's a lot. And he goes, may you will try
for one more. And they had twins. And I was like,
I mean I stumbled bahack, like physically stumbled on the bus.
I'm like, oh, he goes, yeah, no, we feel really blessed.
Five under nine. And I thought, you're never gonna have
(11:18):
any money, money or sleep or like they'll put you
in a nice home, hopefully, because I.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Think so not the way this is. Then you're going,
this is.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So damn tired, I know. And that's when I realized.
I'm like, there's the closure I needed. Like if that's
my reaction because at that point, yeah, I had I
would have had Sophia would have been like eight ten
months old when he said that to me, and I
was like, I know, is it rushtag blessed but ashtag
bless Is it like rude to ask?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Like I know these people who are pregnant with these
babies that are very friends, but like, I can't lie.
There's a part of me that wants to be like,
so the money thing, like how are you going to
make how do we.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Make this work? I would love to know how do
we do this? Because I never I never lied. I
was just like, oh, I don't know. I expect to
live in debt like I would.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I would have no concept idea educated guests on what
it might cost to bring a baby home from the
hospital and like buy diapers and formula if you need it,
and like all of the things that you have to
keep a child. I would have no idea what any
(12:33):
of that would cost.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But you don't know, because you never I don't know.
Maybe there's people that are better at financial planning show.
I never know knew. I just know I did it.
I bought it and like paid as much of the
credit card as I could at the end of the month,
right because I mean, you know, I can barely do
those things for myself and then pay off the credit
card at the end of the month. Oh my god.
I don't know if this is major algorithm yet. Maybe
(12:57):
it's just for the emotional moms. Have you seen the
TikTok trend? She deserves the purse?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Oh man, I literally just got served it like this morning,
and it's this woman who is going around and I've
seen stories like this and sticking twenty dollars bills in
like the tops of formula and into diaper bags and
into things that like new moms would buy, so they'd
open it up and just find like a little bit
of extra cash. And she got back in her car
(13:24):
and all she said was she deserves the purse. And
it's turned into this whole thing where like mom sacrifice
so much. It's like they don't buy new things for themselves,
they don't treat themselves. They're just so focused on trying
to be a good mom and constantly feeling that they're
never making the mark, that it's rare they take any
time to really praise how well they're doing. Let me
tell you sitting in my studio sabin, because it was
(13:49):
just it was such a perfect example of I think
what women especially do in being new moms. And this
girl was just like she's probably in her early twenties,
just like sticking just bills of money and different things
around like a grocery store, and just said she deserves
the purse.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Let me ask you this coming from someone who does
not have any children. If I were to go were
to come to you a mom of two and be like, hey,
you're doing a really great job.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Oh, I would immediately tell you all the things I'm
doing wrong and not accept the compliment.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
But like, what my question is doesn't mean less from
someone who like doesn't have kids, like or like a stranger, like,
how the fuck would you know how I'm doing as
a mom. You're not my kids, like you're not my husband,
like you don't get to see or you know.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Because no, I think it does still fully mean it
means a lot because I'm just assuming that maybe you
watch like the things that I post on social media,
or you hear me discuss it on my shows or
on the podcast. It does still mean the same to
me whether or not you have kids.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, because that is something I think about with my
friends who have kids, is that you lose your identity
a lot when you have a child, because it's like
you're not Ali anymore. Your so and so's mom now, right,
and like that's and like people will be like, how
are you doing, mama, and it's like, yeah, how are
(15:17):
you doing?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Lauren. Whenever I would go and visit friends that had
just had babies, I would never ask about the baby first, right.
I think a lot of new moms do, like know
that they'll come in. I always had gifts that I
gave her first, or I was wine, if it was food,
and it was always like a hug to her eye contact,
not picking the baby up yet, because I would really
(15:40):
like to just check in first on how you're doing,
because I bet like not a lot of people have
asked that yet, Right, where's the baby?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Look at shit, you're so hyper aware. That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Well, I mean, like I try, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But that's that counts just as much too. Oh That's
why I adore. This woman I follow named Lindsay Girk,
and she started the company Get Your Pink Patch Your
Pink Back. Yeah, I follow her too, I adore. I'm like,
oh my gosh, she's got this whole brand she's built now.
Because flamingos pretty much lose all of their pink when
they have their kids because they're giving so much nutrients
and energy to their baby flamingos, it's like two or
(16:16):
three years before they get their pink back. Wow, I know.
And I'm like, I mean, I do have my pink
every day, but some days are pinker than others.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
What if you don't have it going in? Just gray flamingos.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I also I also feel that. Let me tell you.
The other day, I was like, hey, you guys, do
you want to watch some Halloween movies? And Will goes
how many? I go like twelve? I have nothing me today?
You just want to put on them? He that lunch,
I said, I will you get you get in that
little movie room and I will just keep on streaming. Yeah,
(16:51):
and sometimes there's days that I have to do that.
It was my couch rot day. I felt so proud
because you've taught me that couchrot.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
You've taught me the ways you need it. You need
to rest like that, And honestly, I think your kids.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Probably also do. I think so too.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I think they also need a day where they just
don't do anything. And I know, like the screen time
and we're so worried about them watching TV and whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
But like I grew up doing it. I'm okay. Look
and driving, okay, use another example. But it does make
me feel better when I read the articles though, that's like, hey,
stop overscheduling your kids. It's cool if they're just sitting
in the backyard for four hours with no actual structure. Yeah,
I mean, oh thank god.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Every second of my day was not planned out as
a kid. Like my parents both worked full time year
round because my dad was a teacher and a coach.
My mom had a job. So like in the summer,
they were like, hey, good luck, see you in the streets.
You get hurt today doing whatever you get up to.
(17:56):
I'm like, I'm not gonna lie. A lot of the
times it was like Cereal and Disney Channel. Oh like,
maybe walk outside to get the mail. That sounds like
a dream of a day. Talk take the dog out
on it, Like I was. Don't you feel like we
were literally retired in the summers, especially middle school, because
(18:16):
it was like you were a little more independent, you
were a little more autonomous. You could do that, like
you could ride your bike places and like see people,
and that was the first time where you didn't need
to like.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Hey can I do this? Hey can I do this?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Like you can just if you wanted to ride your
bike to the kid in the neighborhood that you used
to hang out with, you could do that, yeah, or
to the pool or whatever and just be back for
your parents got home.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And it felt, oh, man, I don't know if you
would have had this. Maybe we're far enough apart an
age that you wouldn't have, but like we still had
the privacy enough too. Once you could get to that
point and like go do things on your own, you
didn't have to call on the landline and like wait
for the other person's parent like pick up, decide if
you can talk, maybe your parents listening on the other line.
I remember feeling like so many of my secrets were
(19:00):
kept because this was a little before our cell phones. Yeah,
that was oot. I didn't have a cell phone till
the sixteen, and I just remember being like bike independence
where I could go and like see what's up. Like
I didn't even have to call before I came.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
And like once you leave the house, yeah i'll be
back by seven or eight. There was no communication until
you got back at seven or eight.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And that is just miles west.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's got to be such a weird thing for a
parent our age, Yeah, to like have grown up not
having constant communication. But now it's ingrained in us, right,
Like we get a hold of people immediately all the time.
If I can't get a hold of you via text,
I'm gonna call you, I'm gonna leave a message, I'm
gonna email you, I'm gonna DM you, I'm gonna WhatsApp
(19:46):
you like up And now our kids, it's like you
can't escape anything.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You cannot escape us. Well, it's crazy. Sometimes I feel
like a lax shitty parent because like there's parents in
our neighborhood that like do not allow their children out
of their sight. It's like mine, mine, I'm like, yeah,
you can take off on your bike, just like keep
it in the cull to sack. And there's like some
kids that live down the street, but I know they
don't have to cross the street to get there. We've
(20:10):
got sidewalks, and that's like like one of my neighbors
is like, oh, I could never let them like out
of my site. I'll have to walk down there with
them like supervise the play. And I'm like, oh, am
I a bad parent because I don't do that. I
just figure they're responsible enough, and you know what, give
it ten years and then we'll make that call.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, we'll see, we'll see, cause there were you know
when I feel like the strictest parents once their kids
got off to college where they was, they were off the.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Leash a little bit. It was like what the heck
is going on? Rum spring a, yes, yes, exactly, yes,
And I always point those kids out.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
And when I was it like my parents were super cool,
very relaxed. I mean, they had rules, and I was
a rule follower for the modelst part. But like when
I went to college, I was like, this is boring.
I've already done all this. This isn't exciting and like
sexy to me.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
This is like how you were so cool. I was
a late bloomer. I looked up to people like you
so much. I was like, oh man, I was so
scared of everyone in every situation. In high school, I
went a little I think, a wild wild but I
came out of my shell in college. Good for you,
Good for you. That Some might have called me a hoe,
but it was it was lessons learned in life, wasn't it. Listen,
(21:34):
we give me feel really great though we all have
to learn. We all have to learn. You all have
to live learn. Oh are you? That's another five dollars
on Venmo. God, thank you. You feel really good? Yeah, yeah,
m hm.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Speaking of cow trotting, I want to tell you about
two programs, my programs that I've watched recently, My programs.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
One of them is.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
The new movie on Netflix with Elizabeth Olsen and Natasha
Leone and I don't know who the other girl is, Sisters.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
His three daughters or something whatever. I think it's called Sisters.
Holy Shit's Keys. I saw the trailer.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
It made me ball, not until the very end, because
it's like a very It's like it gets the dynamic.
It's about a father of three women who is at
the end of his life and they all have to
like be in the same house again while he's on
like hospice or something like that. Yeah, and just the
(22:47):
dynamic of where they're all at different places in their
life and they're all very different, but they all have
to share this space and come together for him, and
like it nails the dynamic. It's too real, it's too real,
and these are these girls are fantastic actors and just.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Oh, I wasn't ready for that yesterday. Oh you, I
really wasn't. You watched it on a month. It's hard. Yeah,
it's a movie. It's a movie. Okay, yeah, I could
tell if it was a movie or like limited series.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's not super long. It's like an hour forty five.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
But yeah, I was not ready for that one yesterday.
So then I was like, I need something to bring
it up a little bit. So I started watching Monsters
the Lyle and Eric Menendez.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
What are your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I don't know enough about the case, Oh girl, I
don't know enough about like what happened, because it seems
like there were a lot of other big things happening
at the time that this was going on, like the
OJ thing overlapped with this case, which was very important,
but like they didn't really address that in the no.
So I've started it and I have fallen asleep three
(23:58):
times real.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yes, And I don't know. I've watched probably four specials
on the Menanda's Brothers, what are they called. There's a
great one on There's a great one on Hulu. I
believe there's like an ABC News special one. But it
was just I don't know. I was really excited too,
(24:20):
because the cast seems really great. I love Javier Bardem,
I love can never mirror Sorvino. Is that who plays
the mom Chloe seven? Ye thank you. They both have
those weird last names that I love. Yeah, I was
really excited and I'm going to try to make it
through to the end. But there was so much. I
think if you watch documentaries first, I might ruin it
for you because there is a lot that they don't
(24:41):
come to. Yeah, but there's a special coming to Netflix
in a week where they speak from prison.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I got timing right on something they did.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You should watch that. And then they haven't spoke, like
they haven't officially spoken. I don't think outside of like
writing on face this book and stuff. Because they trashed
the special on Facebook. Oh so I know. I was like,
you get Facebook in prison, but apparently they do, and
they're gonna speak out in this like special Netflix doc
coming out on October seventh. Wow, I know I was
(25:14):
interested because that's something I just started watching as well.
I had to take a break because I'm like, very
dark and graphic. I will tell you super Ryan Murphy though,
that's like I forget that he did it. Yeah, he's
the American horror story guy. So like I didn't know
that going into it, and then like after the first episode,
I was like, oh, yeah, yeah the scene, I was like, oh, oh,
(25:36):
they're just gonna keep showing it. Yeah, he has nothing
left on his face, right, Yeah. Yeah. But it's it's
so weird because.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
In each episode, I love them and hate them and
love them and hate them and love them and hate them,
and I you know, I think they're guilty, and then
I think they're innocent, and I think they're guilty, and
then I think they're innocent, and then I'm like, oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
It's to me really interesting to watch some of these
cases that took place long enough ago that tech and
social weren't really a thing. Because what I think they
say that they're going to address in this new documentary
coming out is the TikTok phenomenon, which is all of
these like Alpha and gen Z people that started to
(26:21):
salute this believe they're that they had a rightful reason
for killing their parents, and they don't know a lot
of this having been in prison since like ninety ninety one,
I think is I don't remember the dates and so
they so they don't.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Get out spoiler alert, spoiler alert, the don't well, I
guess they don't have to watch the last episode.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I don't go, no, but I think you should because like,
it's it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
There's two trials. Yeah, it's it's it's wild. See I
know I know some of the stuff. Yeah, I know
some of the stuff. And I know that like the
first trial was so much different than the second trial.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And they weren't even able to talk about what they
think is the biggest part of this in the second trial.
Oh really, it'll be fascinating. I'm excited for the documentary
to come out, but I've just watched so, I mean,
you know, I'm such a freaking salute for crime. I
love a good crime doc and I've watched so many
on the Brothers. But who were some of the I'm
(27:21):
not getting paid by Netflix. I'm just really excited because
they're like phone calling and stuff and like being a
part of this and they've okayed everything and they're gonna
talk about it. Oh man.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
And they are still in prison.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
They are together, which is nice. Same cell. I don't
know if same cell, but that was a big part
of it at one point where they were like, can
we just please be in the same like correctional facility.
They're super tight.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
It's really sad, right, Like, it's really really sad. It's
a sad story. If you don't know about it, a
quick Google will tell you everything you need to know
and just a couple of sentences. But at times I'm like,
what did you think was gonna happen? What did you
think was gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
And like, I just.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
They had so many other options. Yeah, they had so
many other options.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
It's oh man, I could deep dive on this. This
was one of my This is one of my Slay
and Sleigh shows. So my friend and I go and
do a hotel room around Christmas every year and we
call it Slay and Sleigh because it's like Santa Sleigh,
and then we go and watch a crime doc. We
did The Menandaz Brothers for one of them, we watched
like two documentaries back to back. Yeah, it's just it's
(28:34):
it'll be very interesting to hear from them if you
really get to a lot with this new Netflix doc
I had to take a break. I branched off of
the Menendez watch through till like the I think maybe
I'm a quarter of the way through the second episode
and I started The Perfect Couple.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Okay, I have watched the preview for that so many times,
and I just like cannot get over the fact that
it is is Knives Out?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Is it Knives Out?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
God?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
You know the movie Yes with Daniel Craig and he's
the detective.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, and it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Is that it's the same premise, like a murder happens,
it's a who done it? They are all get locked
in on this family compound until they solve the mystery.
And I'm like, have we no opportunity is left? Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Shoot, you're probably right.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
And I just for some reason, the cast is not
super interesting to me.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Different. Yeah, I'm I'm just interested in Like, I'm interested
to know if I've already guessed it, that'll be disappointing.
I'm only like two episodes in, like, oh, I bet
it's this, so now I have to see it through.
But I'm rarely right because I'm really bad at guessing stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It just seems like the characters are all so predictable,
like you just you know exactly who they are, and
like I just was it just didn't do it for me.
I've watched the preview because it comes up after you
finish every single thing on Netflix. It like shows you
all the next previews, and I've seen it like seventy
five thousand times, and my Netflix is probably like, why aren't.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
You watching this? This is felt who we want to
watch this?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
And I'm like, I'm sorry, I just it's not I
don't I'm not there yet. But I usually catch up
like two or three months after I see like everybody
has watched it, and then I'm like, okay, I'll give
it a go.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Oh my, you're then you were very entrend with the
menendez Is. They're in their moment as we speak.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I know that that was a new one, and I
really didn't have any intention like I had. I hadn't
seen any previews. I hadn't seen anything. It just popped
up yesterday after the movie and I was like, oh
my god, anything else.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I am in a state.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I am in a state. It was so good, it
was so good, but it was just at the end,
like the last ten minutes, I was seriously.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Like, you've got you nailed it that I'm gonna do. I'm
gonna watch it.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
By myself, like using this blanket that's covering me.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Just it was this season. People don't talk enough about it.
They're like pumpkin spice, Apple Orchard's Halloween, and it's like
I want to be under a thick ass blanket blowing
my nose into said blanket because there's some sad shit
on TV. Yeah, I love this weather for that. Any
thing outside it's raining gross to me, maybe I'm sad
(31:27):
or something. Serial Killer to me.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Was like, what do you want to do this weekend
for your birthday? And I was like nothing, I don't
want to leave the couch. Like he was like not
even like go out for drinks and dinner. And I
was like, that's so nice. Can we do that in
like two weeks? Like I just I don't, Oh, I
don't have it in me.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
You should get multiple door dashes and just have like
a buffet of all your favorite things. That's what he said,
of course he did. We stand Yimmy, he knows.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
He was like, I'll just get really nice door dash
and I was like, what's really nice DoorDash like a
restaurant or like, what is really nice DoorDash?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Because Chris would think it was like multiple cravings boxes
from Taco Bell for me, and he'd be like, happy birthday,
and I'd be like, I could cry.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
This is so perfect. I'm I'd actually love that. I
would I would love that honestly.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Oh that sounds so perfect. This is thirty three. Someone
