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 I
Heart Media. We're both millennials, 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. Do you have a thing
that you do that irritates you but you're only irritating yourself because you're the cause
of it. Probably let me tell you what mine is. When I take
my shoes off. This is a totally solvable problem. By the way,
when I take my shoes off when I'm going into my house, I don't
untie them, and then I'm rushing out of the house when I see that
my shoes are taught and I have to stop and untie them in order to
put them on and retie them. Nothing infuriates me more. And it's a
self caused problem. Wouldn't it be so helpful right now if I said something
like, you know, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over
and over again, but expecting a different outcome because I do the same thing.
I thought I was cool and youthful, and I pought a pair of
like not really tennis shoes, but like, I still have to tie them
because I feel very weird about having like open laces. But every time I
take them off, I just like kick them off with the heel, and
then I go to put them on, I'm like, oh, like because
they're so tight with the laces. Yes, I'm never going to untie them
when I get home. Ah, I know, I know, I just
yeah, And it's like a it's just it's totally it's ridiculous and it happened
to me this morning. I'm running out the door. Of course I can't
get anything ready to night before. It's impossible to do. That is just
too much for me. I'm like, oh, I'll do that tomorrow morning
when I know I'm going to short myself five minutes. I know that even
my early alarm still shorts myself five minutes. Why because apparently I think that
I can get ready like fifteen minutes faster than I actually can. And then
I you know, it's just like it adds insult to injury. When you're
already late and you get there and it doesn't even take very long to untie
the shoelaces to put your feet in. But it's just the fact that I
have to that makes me so mad. I don't know, That's just one
of those things I gotta tell you. Speaking of fashion, I wanted to
open with and it would be very great if you watched this on YouTube because
then you could see what I'm talking about. Our beautiful listeners. I'm trying
to bring back some fashion and they don't know how I feel about it,
because we talked I think last episode, maybe two episodes ago, that it's
going to be our flowy pant summer. Yes, right, we're giving our
coastal Gramma feels in the best way possible. Yeah. So, I think
I think they're still called Are these plazzo pants? Do you remember that term?
I do? Or is that super old? Because I saw these and
I'm like, I think they're cute, They're flowing. When I tried middle
school. In high school, we called them gaucho pants. Yeah, so
same thing. Yeah, I don't know because I also had gaucho pants,
which I would love for those to make a comeback. I think they are,
but I think so, I don't know, maybe because these are pleaded.
They're kind of pleaded. So I had the song right now, and
I was not going to keep them for sure until I had all of the
people in my life that I think are very fashioned forward judge them. And
I've already been told once that I look like a lampshade. Who I think.
I think we both know who someone I work with. But now I'm
like, I still think they're good. Someone a double check and look see
tag o. God, I wasn't ready. I was like, I want
to see what the helly thinks of it, because she's so fashioned forward with
her great pants. So this so this is what I'm doing today. This
was my pant for the podcast. I love those plants or plants pants for
the pot yeah, pants with the pleats, pants with the pleats. I
think it makes some palazzo pants or making up that word entirely. I don't
know. That's from like nineteen ninety four, that's og. I know palazzo
pants are a thing. I just wouldn't be able to draw you a picture
or describe them, but I would say like they're a flowyer pant. Okay,
so I think I'm going to keep them. I like those pants though
I was very, very like weirdly self conscious. If there's something outside of
my comfort zone, it's clothes, Like I could never do what you do,
and I mean that it's such a company me. You're always like testing
with new styles and stuff like your pants today. Never in a million years
what I ever. But they look so good on you. Well, thank
you. Yeah, these are actually a reach even for me. But um,
you know, I do the clothing the rental subscription Newly oh yeah,
where it's all like anthrow and free people. And they've added in urban outfitters
now and there are some really cute brands on there. But the stuff that
I want isn't always available, so it kind of forces you to pick some
stuff that you wouldn't normally outside the thing. Yeah, so that's why I
like it. But these I feel like skew a little bit younger, and
I'm actually really glad that I got them because I actually they're cute. They're
so comfortable. See that's what I'm all about. They're so comfortable, and
the print I wasn't super crazy about. I'm not like a big y two
k see that's interesting. I would think that that looks like late sixties to
me. Late sixties, Yeah, yeah, which I love again, Yeah,
I like them. I'm I don't know. Maybe it's the like it's
the flowers that say why two K to me? Like those this like screams
Delias to me, Oh Delia Did you get those magazines? Yeah? Oh
my god. My friend in high school was obsessed with Delia's. Like,
when you think about what fashion you would bring back, I think about,
like, come on, Dahlia's even a pop up shop. Yeah, I'd
take like a day where you could go through. Yeah, I loved Dahlia's.
So you're taking those for a test drive. You got the price tag
on them as a classy brunts, and that tells me that you did not
wash those before you wore them, though I did it, which I don't
either. I don't either, but I almost don't want to share this.
I God, I just saw an apartment therapy. The other day. There
was an article where they had interviewed a bunch of dermatologists, and the dermatologists
were saying, I will never wear clothes without washing them because I've seen some
shit. Basically, like dermatologists scabies, fungus, are you? And one
of them said, clothes are shipped with preservatives on them, and those preservatives
can get moldy, so there's some time, Oh my god, mold on
the clothes. I've never been more uncomfortable in something I've been wearing than this
very moment. I mean, honestly, I don't know that I've ever washed
something, never straight home from the store before I wore it. Usually I'm
wearing that like i'd buy something. I'm this kind of shopper. I'd buy
something for the occasion. I don't buy stuff and just have it in that
closet. I don't go shopping every season for like, Okay, here are
my clothes for the season. I wait as long as I can until I
am absolutely completely overstimulated and stressed out because I'm going somewhere and I don't have
anything to wear, don't have anything to wear, full close, full closet,
but don't have anything to wear. And then I'm rushing out to Target
or Jay Crew wherever to be like, I have to dress myself for this
event, and then it's something that is totally not wearable in my every day
but was just appropriate for that event. And then you're stuck with it,
and then I'm stuck with it. Yeah, yep, it's It's interesting because
never, never have ever watched something before I was going to wear it,
because I want to see what it looks like when it's on me in pristine
condition. Yes, right, because it is my opinion that this piece of
clothing that I have purchased at the store and have not watched it is not
going to wear this way after I wash it, never again, never again.
After I watch this, it is going to lay differently in it.
Just got to get the good wear out of it at least a couple of
times. But I don't want scabies. Girl, have you ever had scabies?
What the heck is a skabie? Let me tell you a real quick,
uncomfortably close preview before we get to the other the other uncomfortably close later
in this episode. I got scabies when I was twenty two. It is.
It is to this day one of the grossest things like that in Pink
Eye, I just never want to talk about again. Are they bugs?
They're like little At first I thought it was um psoriasis, right, that's
the skin condition, Okay, because like they tend to go and like crevasses.
So they were like between my knuckles, okay, between my fingers,
and I was like, oh, my skin's just so dried. And then
it was getting worse, and so I was going to go to my doctor
to try and get a referral to a dermatologist, and she was like,
oh, so those are scabies. I'm like, what are skate? So
it's a fungus. Yeah, but they're all but but I think they're like
bugs. They're I think they're like gnat type. I gotta get the Google
machine. It was so disgusting and the worst thing. It's like an std
itch light. It's an itch. It's a mite. That's worse thing.
I don't like that. That's worse than buck. It's like an std in
the fact that you have to like call all the people you've been around in
the last week. Absolutely not Alley and I got it. I'm pretty sure
I got it from this nasty apartment I went to one time, like with
a friend of a friend. I didn't even know who it was because the
doctor's like, oh, yeah, you can get it from all these places.
It's usually like dirty housing or things that haven't been cleaned. I'm like
college college, right, And I was like, so then I had to
go through and I had to call the few people that I had had like
close interaction with. That's my worst nightmare is having to call like that was
the worst part of COVID for me, yes, was having to call people
after I had been infected by it, to say like, hey, you
you got to get tested that no, you have to get tested. I
got that. I called and I was like, hey, so I have
something called skaties. You might want to call your doctor. And for two
weeks, I think it was two weeks, my now husband Chris and I,
who weren't even officially back together at this point, he got them too.
Oh we had to rub this like antibiotic mint all over our bodies.
Okay, today, it's just annointment. It's just annointment. And you think
it sounds sexy, it's not. We didn't want to like look at each
other for at first. I was like, so I gotta about this.
One's like oh, And then like five minutes later, girls, oh no,
this was not pictured. It's terrible. So when you say that,
like, no, I feel like things are crawling all over me and my
unwashed pants. Now you're fine, how many times have you ever caught scabies
from the clothes that you've worn? See, that's true. I don't think
it was the clothes like you, you haven't, but and I do want
to mention these were all dermatologists from some like big college in a city which
I just feel like New York, LA. Those places are hotbed for infestations
dirty. I mean, so many people in such a big place hard to
keep clean. Yeah, mice or not mice while also mice rats, but
lice bed bugs. Like you always care about outbreaks in big cities like that,
we live in the suburbs. We're so also like we're we're based out
of Grand Rappids is a very clean city. People that come from bigger cities
always say that, do they Yeah, Oh my gosh, they're like because
we when I would do events with um some of the syndicated talent we have
in other markets that would come in for a concert or something, they always
said that. They were like, oh my gosh, this is my first
time in Grand Rapids and it's like such a cool city. But it's so
clean. You just have such a clean city. Hats off, who are
downtown cruise? Right? What do we down the ambassadors then sorties. Yeah,
that's what they are. They're ambassadors. Yeah, they are always always
working man, keeping the escapes away. Because my husband watches everything before he
wears it. He does he does not buy clothes and ever put them right
on. He thinks that's like so disgusting of meat. That makes me worry
that a guy is saying this. He's yeah, he's like, oh,
you're going to put that right on. His thing was always like, there's
so many chemicals that come out of like the factories where these clothes are faked.
Yes, that he's like, the preservatives and the chemical that was one
of the other things they can like get moldy and dry your skin out and
stuff like that. God, well we're great. I mean we are pictures
of gorgeousness. So clearly our dirty clothes have not affected us yet. And
I say the pants are a big win, big win. Yeah, okay,
I bought them in a wine color as well. And I just want
to circle back to the lamp shade. Why is it? What is it
with coworkers and like commenting and comparing the things you wear, like have you
guys not? Because I'm assuming it was a guy. Oh, yeah,
because I would. I just would never. I would never walk up to
one of my co workers as a woman, yeah, male or female and
be like, those pants look like you're wearing a lamp shade. But sub
like you thought it would be a compliment coming out now, I will admit
the other day I did say to someone and I felt that about this afterwards.
Oh remember when we were in that meeting and one of our sales directors
was wearing that really cute dress. Yes, And I said, that's a
super cute dress and she said, thank you. It's from like ten years
ago brother's wedding or rehearsal dinner. I think, YadA YadA, And I
said, and you still fit into that, you bitch. And then I
felt really bad about that after Oh, I think that's so complimentary. I
just I just felt, I know, I like a woman, especially like
I meant it as a compliment, but I just I wasn't sure if I
was on that level with her. So then I felt bad, like did
I come on too strong? Did I? Yeah? It's the month twelve
of my life. I feel like anything i'm saying something, I'm like,
WHOA, that was aggressive? But I mentioned nice aggressively nice, aggressively nice.
But I just really liked her dress and that was impressive to me that
like she's still she still has clothes from a decade ago. That girl,
right, look great. There's a reason I bought flowy pants with an elastic
band. I'm here for it. They were like a lastic band or drawstring.
I'm like, oh my god, I'm a mother. I'm not going
to draw stirring anything around this section. Thank you so much. Two children
have busted out of this. I want to cover it the best I can.
Yeah, but you're looking good. Oh god, I appreciate, thank
you. Thanks. It's good hype going into the summer. Yeah, this
is because this episode dropping right before Memorial Day weekend, so this is like
the open to swim suit season. You know, don't remind me. And
it's like, oh, don't remind me. I was looking at bathing suits
the other day, and I know we've covered this before on this very podcast.
One hundred and eighty five dollars for a bikini. Wow, man,
it did say that that bikini was a lifetime guarantee no color fading. So
I don't know if you're paying more for some crazy technology but one hundred and
eighty five dollars for bikini bikini. I just am not in very X bracket.
No, thank god me either, because I got I mean, I
gotta give the props. I have very good luck with cupsh when I when
I buy sun I got to check them out uli cups. But you just
have to be you have to be cautious sometimes about especially the one suits that
you buy. Because I've got this great navy one that I think I'm breaking
out this weekend, oh that I have not tried on yet, and I'm
pretty sure the up top is fine. It's the down below that I think
is going to be showing a lot. Where are you going to be that
you're going to have your pants off? Like up north? Okay, I
like the beach and stuff I do. It was a good question to ask,
but like, oh, what do you plan? I'd rather keep my
shorts on with just my bathing suit top than do like both. Really yeah,
I'd rather I'd rather have my ass out than my and be covered up
top. I would feel better about my bottom half than I do my mid
to top half. I mean, don't get me wrong. When I say
my top half, I mean like right up to here, right below my
boobs, if we can cover everything from my toes just to like right up
buy my boobs. Good? Yeah, so pretty much just like my shoulders
in my head. Yeah, we're gonna be looking so snatched this weekend though,
with all of our like outerwear covering all of our spots. Oh,
we're looking so good. Those pictures, yeah, pictures. Who's taking pictures?
You never know. That's why you have to be prepared. Speaking of
bathing suit picks, did you see Martha Stewart, I'm Sports Illustrated. Yup,
eighty one. She's hot. It's gonna be eighty two in August.
So good. I love that because I will tell you one of my I
don't have many hopes and dreams, like like, I don't. I don't
have I'm not that type of gal who like has a five year plan and
here are the things I want a vision boards for us. I don't have
a bucket list. I don't have a forty by forty. I don't have
a thirty by thirty. I don't have anything but one thing that I would
like to do aside from being in a Hallmark movie. Oh no, yeah,
that's number one. Number two is being sports illustrated the Swimsuit Edition.
Really, Yes, Now I think I would love that more. I was
never a fan of the illest the swim Stood edition back in the day.
Now that they're putting in more like different body types and figures and women in
age, right, I love it? Yes, I love it. Mmm.
I agree. Say well, I'm still not fully invested into the Victoria's
Secret fashion show. I think that just needs to end for good. Like
I appreciate Victoria's Secret making the effort to be more inclusive, yeah, but
like the way that you got there, it just feels so gross. Mmmmmmmmmm
Yeah, I agree. It just feels like you much you wouldn't have taken
the steps, in my opinion, to be more inclusive and to um work
on some of the issues that you had if you had been called out,
if you hadn't been called yumbled out. It's because you got caught and then
you're like, oh, here's what we're gonna do. Yeah, it's a
nice thing to do, because I think you were just fine having those little
eaty bitty models on the verge of passing out walking down your runway when you
were cash in those checks. Itty bitty right. Remember the first time I
went into Vicki's for anything and I was like, what, this barely covers
my Ariola. It's not for it's not for big busty women. And they
were expensive. Oh yeah, Like I don't think I ever had a braw
from Victorias dogret. But the underwear, the five for twenty five, that
was the original five. I feel you, Yeah, I feel you.
And then Airy just snuck right in there. And I was loyal to Arie
for a long time. Yeah, I was because they did. I've never
gotten panties from them. They do eight for thirty five. And we may
not be great at math or stem, but that's a deal. That's that's
a good deal. That's a good deal. But I do feel like quality
suffered over the pandemic. It's did a lot of things. Of things,
as did a lot of things, but all of a sudden and you know,
maybe it's just because I turned thirty and like things shifted and like moved
around. But what used to be comfy pair of pantaloons at Airy now I'm
like, we're not covering really much of anything down there now. Welcome,
welcome. I don't like, I don't think things have shifted on you,
but like I do remember that feeling like, oh no, this is how
it peaks. Yeah, like it like the um the part of the underwear
in between the back and the front. It's called the gusset. I didn't
know that. Yeah, wow, you're welcome and the gusset. I feel
like during the pandemic, specifically at Airy went from a comfortable acceptable size to
maybe a fraction of that, and I was like, what happened? What
wrong? What happened? Like did my hips all of a sudden, Like
I turned thirty and my hips were like we are baby making hips now and
they just expanded Because I don't think so, I still fit into the same
pants. It's oh, it's the gusset's fault. It's the gusset. When
in doubt, blame the gusset. Yeah. Always going back to Martha Stewart,
Yes, do you really believe? Because everybody right is like, she
looks amazing, she looks ageless, No way, she's in her eighties.
You buying that she does pilates and that's what she mostly attributes to how great
she looks. No, I think she's on ozempic. Absolutely not. Please,
I'm listening to her interview and she's like, well, in true Martha
form, I've always led a very clean lifestyle, you know, lots of
hydration and Brits and veggies. But it's it's really pilates. I started doing
pilates, and I'm like, there's just no way I look like be Arthur
at thirty six. There's no way. It's just pilates that gave you that
whole situation at eighty almost two. Martha Well, I would not be surprised
if they also did a fair amount of photoshopping on her. I wonder too,
because she said they didn't. She's like, they barely even airbrushed.
I'm so proud of being a part of this because they didn't do a lot
of that. So they did say they barely. What's what's barely mean to
you though? Because barely to me means like maybe we're slapping a filter on
this minimum and Instagram filter. Yeah, honestly, I think she looks great.
Yeah, but I also appreciate someone who looks great and also looks like
a normal human being. I will give you that. Oh my god,
she does not. If she has had work done, it's beautiful, which
that's another thing. I don't think she would ever tell us about all of
her plastic surgery, but I think over the years she's had some work done.
I don't think that's all polities. Her tatas were so nice. They
cast at a lot of park in them. I'm like, I like that
secret. I just feel like posing can be really yeah, beneficial. Like
you and pose someone in a way that makes them look awful in front of
a camera, and I in the other way, you can also pose someone
that makes them look great. And I didn't see her in any two pieces.
She did wear one piece, and she's got a big hat in the
pictures that I saw, Yeah, and the white one she had like that
shall type thing and drapey thing, drapey, Oh, I love drape if
I can never just yeah, I just I'm gonna thrive as an older woman.
But like you and I, we have both had and I will cop
to this, like we both had cool sculpting. Mhmm, yep. So
I just had cryo done with hand and stone. Yeah, yeah, And
I think, to the credit of the Kardashians, that just doesn't happen often.
To their credit, though they are opening up about the procedures that they
get done. There for a while on the show, like they were filming
at the office the med spa where they were getting oh, I'm getting this
treatment done for my today, or like oh I'm getting this this paddle done
for my cellulite or whatever it was, right, And I do think there
are a lot of non invasive procedures now, like the m cellam Oh what's
it called. It's not a laser, but it's like m cella like microcurrent.
Oh, and you can get it on your abdominals, but you can
also get it in lieu of your caggles and it's like doing like two thousand
sit ups or something. But it's just like something that just like contracts your
like muscles for you. And it's it's a wavelength or a frequency. I'm
not exactly sure like the science behind it, but there's a lot of stuff
like that available. I was going to say, that's the kind of science
I would put more money into. Forget curing these diseases. You guys,
yeah, give me ads that I don't have to work for. But I
think that there is a lot of stuff like that that we just You're never
ugly, you're just poor. How many celebrities. How many celebrities do we
see go from looking like this and then they end up looking like this,
And it's like, I haven't ever had plastic surgery. No, but you've
had botox, and you've had like filler, and you've had You've gone to
the line of a facial every single week, and you you've had those raps
that like deep bloat and deep puff you and the lip fillers all that,
which you know, we're not here to judge that. It's just I would
be doing it too, if I had the money to be more open about
it too, be like, you can't look like this, you're right more
right. So, while I do feel like gold, Martha is doing pilates,
Yes, girl, get your pilates, but don't don't talk to us
like we're stupid. Don't Martha make your read I have seen you make an
entire haraph of cocktails, and I know you're smoking that weed with snoop when
you're getting the muncheese. Don't don't don't. That was That was some of
the strongest victual reaction I've seen from you on a topic. I loved it.
It was so honest. I just said, yes, those are my
thoughts. This is why we've started this, Like could we say this to
just anyone? Probably not, but here it's a safe space, right,
speaking of, I think it's time. Is it time for another round of
uncomfortably close? Let's do it. I've been so excited to share this with
you. Excited might not be the right word. So I think I have
to start by saying, I'm such a weird phobia almost it's probably the word
of toilet paper. Oh, like I don't. I just don't love toilet
paper in general. I understand the necessity of it, but I just don't.
Oh, it's something weird about it, and I don't like it,
and I get nervous that it's going to get stuck in places and I just
don't. I don't like it. Okay, I never liked it, and
so I'm coomfortably close today. I think personally affects you because we're the only
two women on our floor in the morning, yes, doing all the shows,
and so it's just you and I that'll be using the women's bathroom,
right. I can't stand when a new toilet paper roll has been put on
and it's still like like stuck together, like the sticky. How you like
am I describing it? Yeah, well, I know what you mean.
I can undo it. So if I'm in there and that's happened, I
use paper towels and leave it for you. That's funny. And I'm sure
there's been so many times where you walk in there and you're like this role
is always brand new and like nobody ever because I can't do it. I
can't stick my finger in there and try to rip it and use it.
So I'm coomfortably close. I use paper towel on a bot on end,
toss it in the toilet, not my pipes, not my pipes, not
my problem, not my pipes, not my problem. Honestly, I've never
noticed no, Okay, it's it's probably just because I'm so hyper aware of
it with my like hatred of toilet paper. Then I'm like, oh god,
I'm believing another one for but I can't do it. I've tried,
but then like, oh my gosh, especially ripped toilet paper, like if
the square slightly ripped from someone, I can't do it. I cannot use
it. That That does it breaks me out. Logically, you know that
the toilet paper is ripped, not in a clean right. There's a reason
there's a preparation, right, And like logically your brain tells you it's because
someone like ripped it and it just didn't tear perfectly. But there's something about
that that just feels like I gotta tear that little piece off and start.
I can't and just toilet paper on bathroom bloors, Like I am horrible in
public bathroom? Seven? How do you survive here? Our toilet paper holder
has been ripped from the wall. There's there's like half of it less so
terrible toilet paper roll just like hangs off of it. I have half a
mind to actually get fix the speckle the ripped out dry wall, and you
could know I've seen your home renos. I could do it. I mean,
don't do it for me because I barely want to touch the thing as
it is, but for you. But I do think we're gonna take this
even a stuff further. I always get nervous because I don't realize that it's
toilet paper I don't want to use, like it's you know, still stuck
together or whatever. Until I'm in the stall. My pants were already dropped,
so I can't tell you how many times I popped that stall door open
to run out really quick and grab some paper towels, and I one of
these days you're gonna walk in and get a full cute shot. It's gonna
be our relationship will ever be. And I'm just like, but I gotta
risk it. I gotta risk it because the toilet paper freak to beut honestly
so weird. Well that's why I do turn the lights off before I leave,
Yes, the bathroom same on my way out, because that is to
me a little indicator of like if someone's in there or not in the lights
on in the bathroom, I won't go in there. No, I don't
either except for today, and I did, but you barely and I had
already, like you barely knew, and I was in there like trying to
get a stand under my shore, which I'm sure you can all see.
Really, yeah, absolutely right here. That's great. I'm super good at
dressing myself and being a grown ass woman that's put together every day. But
it's hard now that we podcast and then the next days are all staff meeting.
It's like two days in a row. I'll full on effort, and
you've been doing all these ticket drops for B ninety three. My god,
girl, just take the month of July off. I plan to just like
sit in bed, do yourself care. Yeah, I'll put yourself together for
anyone starting not a coworker that uses paper towel on her bomb instead of just
being cool with Well, I do kind of feel like I'm in a space
in my life where I have to stop wearing shirts and leggings to work.
Oh, you're younger than me, and I haven't hit that moment. Why
because she's a wintertime Well it stems from a conversation I had with our like
Big Big Boss a few weeks ago, maybe months ago at this point.
But he came into my studio one day and I was like, in a
sweatshirt and a hat and which, by the way, you always look cute
in you do a very cute at leisure look. You really you do.
I still think it's super presentable. But he was in a full suit.
Oh well, and I was like, is there something happening today that I
should be concerned about? It's not very often that you're wearing a full suit.
Flashback to like five minutes ago when I was like, I would never
go up to someone we worked with and tell them that their pants looked like
mapshades. But I did not. Anyway, I asked the question. I
don't know if he had like a luncheon r you know, something going on.
And he was like, you know, back in the day, we
all had to dress like this coming to work. And then he looked at
me, and then I looked at myself, and I was like, hmm,
I'm picking up what you're putting down. So I feel like I got
dress coded. No, I mean, yes, a little bit. But
you want to start coming in at four um in a full suit, I'll
follow suit, but I do there is something for me that just feels a
little bit better about myself when I do look good in my own yeah.
Way, yeah, you know, like I just feel I don't know,
I feel more confident. I feel more like a professional thirty one year old.
It's like a wardrobe superstance. Yeah, you know how you're supposed to
like do your superstance at the beginning of the day, and like research shows,
it actually puts endorphins into you, like, yes, let's do this,
let's do that too. For sure. Oh absolutely. If it's a
Friday, I do not give a shit. No, No, I've never
and I know I'm not setting an unrealistic expectation for myself where I am going
to come into work as the best dress to every single day. I'm thinking
like two three days a week. I think that's a great number, you
know. But I'm just struggling because we do have such a creative Maybe creative's
not quite the word for it, but it's definitely not a traditional workplace environment
where we're wearing dress pants and button up shirts and blazers and and those things
can be styled in a casual way, but they just don't feel right for
this environment to me, especially in our studios. Yeah, I just never
know what our studios are going to feel like. Well, that's the other
a tue is that it's been eighty degrees this week in my studio. I've
been cutting glass. Yeah, it's been chilly. Yep. That's why I
had that north faith performance belief in my studio. At any given moment,
you do, I'm like, it's eighty six outside, it's twenty six inside.
Well, and you are in several different studios in the morning, running
back and forth. Are they different in each one? I imagine? Yes,
it's the weirdest thing. We've all the same floor, same HVAC system.
I know. I believe they have told us so many times this HVAC
system is special. And then literally you can there's Lauren's in the Wood Studio
and then in between it's been ninety three and then the Star Studio, and
she does the morning show for both of those stations simultaneously. I don't know
how, but you do a great job. It's like going from the north
pole of the south pole, I know, and it's literally eight steps,
like that's the distance and that much. I don't and they I don't know.
They have told us, well, it's opposite ends of the building.
It's twenty feet apart. So I just I'm like, I can look cute.
I can spend all the effort to look cute. Chances are when you
come into the studio, I'm still gonna be in that giant puffer north face
with the hood. Respect. Respect
