Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome back to between Us Girlies. I'm Bailey,
Speaker 1: I'm Casey, I'm brand and well we have a new
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift album. We really do like we have to
Speaker 1: celebrate that. One hundreds twelve colors. Oh, I'm wearing green.
Speaker 2: First things first, our dear Lindsay has come down with
Speaker 2: the sickness, so she is not here today, but we
Speaker 2: will yap in her honor.
Speaker 1: Bailey's too excited about I'm so Starlans.
Speaker 2: We have a lot to discuss.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do.
Speaker 2: How does everybody feel about the album?
Speaker 3: I'm obsessed with the album.
Speaker 4: I have literally not stopped listening to it for four
Speaker 4: days now.
Speaker 1: Okay, love, Yeah, I did I like the album? Sorry,
Speaker 1: I feel like that was coming off really bad. There's
Speaker 1: are a few songs I really the song Canceled. I
Speaker 1: don't see that many people online talking about it. It's
Speaker 1: a car song like I saved my card act for
Speaker 1: thirty seconds just so I can hear. It's just about
Speaker 1: boom boom.
Speaker 4: I'm dropping the Easter egg now that there is a
Speaker 4: line in Canceled that is going to make the most
Speaker 4: insane Halloween transition for me, and I cannot wait to
Speaker 4: do it. So when you see this hit your timeline,
Speaker 4: you are going to lose your minds. It is like
Speaker 4: it was literally made for me. But anyway, yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: I need to. I mean I listened to it like twice.
Speaker 1: I can listen to it twice. I mean I feel
Speaker 1: like I did listen to it twice. I feel like
Speaker 1: that's also saying something. I feel like every time I listen,
Speaker 1: I feel like I find maybe another one I like,
Speaker 1: but I just cancel canceled.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it. I think it's fun. I caught
Speaker 2: myself like dancing to a lot of them. I do
Speaker 2: think that a lot of them like are catchy. I
Speaker 2: get my head. Yeah, I do like it. I also like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I feel like I wasn't expecting that much,
Speaker 2: Like not to sound bad, but like I feel like
Speaker 2: everyone is being hard on her because she set like
Speaker 2: a bar really high. But like because of that, I
Speaker 2: was just like, yeah, like I don't really like if
Speaker 2: she doesn't top what she's already done, like that's okay, right.
Speaker 4: I feel like it's also like a little bit to
Speaker 4: what we talked about in a previous episode, Like so
Speaker 4: many new Tailor Swift fans have entered the Tailor Swift
Speaker 4: fandom that I think a little bit of her core
Speaker 4: tailorness is being lost on them. Like I've heard a
Speaker 4: lot of things about like the corniness of her lyrics,
Speaker 4: and like me and all my coworkers are all Swifties,
Speaker 4: Like they're all very they're heavy Swifties. So we were
Speaker 4: talking about it forever today and they were just bringing
Speaker 4: up so many lyrics in previous albums that are cornier
Speaker 4: than this one. But it's like people have a new
Speaker 4: lens and focus on her, so they're like really picking
Speaker 4: apart her lyrics, and it's like if you go back
Speaker 4: and listen to blank Space, like those lyrics aren't that great.
Speaker 1: Like they're like they're great, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: But there's like certain corny things that people are just like,
Speaker 4: which I just feel like anytime she releases.
Speaker 3: Something, people are gonna like hate on it.
Speaker 2: It's bad.
Speaker 1: Guys. I know the words to like almost.
Speaker 4: Every song, but I have not listened to anything else
Speaker 4: since Friday. I've listened because the album's like forty five
Speaker 4: minutes something on literally listened to it start to finish.
Speaker 2: You know, she's going to release a delxe Oh she
Speaker 2: has well like eight extra songs.
Speaker 1: Not eight extra but it's a separate it's only on
Speaker 1: iTunes available right now for the next twenty four hours
Speaker 1: and CDs. But she has like four acoustic versions like
Speaker 1: mashups of the songs in the album. So that's where
Speaker 1: she's just like. But then I'm like, I saw that
Speaker 1: post because she's a supposed like multiple times, I think
Speaker 1: she's just like, she's like, there's like four separate CDs
Speaker 1: of this one of these four tracks, but like they're
Speaker 1: not on Spotify yet, but they're only on iTunes, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, damn iTunes.
Speaker 1: I know she was doing a lot with Apple. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did see that, but I think Spotify they don't
Speaker 1: you get less of a percentage for your like as
Speaker 1: an artist, you get less percentage for your stream. But
Speaker 1: I think it's like one cent on a Spotify versus
Speaker 1: like I think it's like say like five cents on
Speaker 1: Apple Music. So I don't know. It was so funny.
Speaker 1: I was showing Jake the Fad of Aphelia.
Speaker 4: Music video last night and he just had the funniest reaction.
Speaker 4: He watched the music video and so Dead series he goes,
Speaker 4: that's gonna dominate the airwaves. What he goes, that's like
Speaker 4: the perfect pop song. He was like, it has every
Speaker 4: single recipe of like a pop song. That's gonna be
Speaker 4: famous for the next five years. He was like, Taylor
Speaker 4: Swift just creates that kind of music. And he was like,
Speaker 4: as someone who doesn't listen to her or pop music,
Speaker 4: like that to me is the ideal pop song. And
Speaker 4: he was just like, that's going to dominate the airwaves,
Speaker 4: Like yeah, probably. I mean, I think that songs so catchy.
Speaker 4: I love the dance, I love the music video.
Speaker 2: I love that song. I think it's a really strong
Speaker 2: opening track.
Speaker 1: Well, you're right, she does have a good opening track.
Speaker 1: The only thing I mean that's just like whatever, it's
Speaker 1: a different stype of style of writing she did for
Speaker 1: this when I'm sure, but I just like love her bridges,
Speaker 1: like she does have a damn good bridge, Like I
Speaker 1: just listened to I'm Gonna Get You Back that fucking bridge.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, all right, maybe it's a different type
Speaker 1: of style. And I'm also thinking her life is a
Speaker 1: showgirlcause I'm also on the side of TikTok right now,
Speaker 1: where it's like bashing her to Pa, It's like, like,
Speaker 1: I feel like you got on it.
Speaker 2: I like more on like the defense the side of it.
Speaker 2: But I've seen something.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's like bash bashed, defense dance bash.
Speaker 1: Like it's just like so saturated, but like it's such
Speaker 1: a people are just taking their takes and like they're
Speaker 1: saying whatever. I was just give into that whatever, but
Speaker 1: I was thinking with it. Yeah, I'm thinking her life
Speaker 1: of a showgirl because she's also sampling a lot of
Speaker 1: other songs in it, and I feel like maybe like
Speaker 1: because you know how her we know how her brain works,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like she maybe took that and it's
Speaker 1: like that's also like a little bit of an Easter
Speaker 1: egg within these songs and me she's like the Jackson
Speaker 1: five sample on wood something. I don't know, I feel
Speaker 1: like I heard something else.
Speaker 4: Seems like Poppy Lindsay last night was saying that she's
Speaker 4: on the bashing side, and we actually went back and
Speaker 4: forth about a lyric in Eldest Daughter when she's like
Speaker 4: I'm not a bad bitch and I'm not savage because
Speaker 4: everyone's saying that's corny, and I think that that's literally
Speaker 4: the whole point is because she's trying to say that
Speaker 4: she's not cool and so she's going to say something
Speaker 4: corny and uncool. And I was like, but that shows
Speaker 4: like how TikTok can so split it. Like Lindsay's on
Speaker 4: the bashing side, so she sees how it's like a
Speaker 4: bad lyric and I'm on the positive side, so I
Speaker 4: see like the defense of it. And I was like,
Speaker 4: we need to just send each other tiktoks back and
Speaker 4: forth to like reset each other's algorithms. Because I love
Speaker 4: I'm in like deep, like this is Taylor's best album,
Speaker 4: can't stop dancing to it, love her.
Speaker 3: So it's like I feel like that's feeding into how
Speaker 3: much I like it.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I will say, I think actually romantic
Speaker 2: is a little like mean m m uh huh, Like
Speaker 2: I didn't like love that. Yeah, I just feel like
Speaker 2: it's a little bit like hypocritical to be like, oh,
Speaker 2: you spend so much time thinking about me, but like
Speaker 2: you just wrote a whole song about it. Like I
Speaker 2: feel like it's a little bit of mismatched energy, like Okay,
Speaker 2: you don't pay her any mind or whoever. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's pretty obvious she's talking about Charlie. But what let's
Speaker 2: say it's somebody else. But if you don't pay her
Speaker 2: any mind and you don't think about her, then you
Speaker 2: don't write a song about her. Like kind of just
Speaker 2: scoff about it, and like I get it, like you're
Speaker 2: writing about your experience and like maybe you're trying to
Speaker 2: inspire other people, but like it just felt like a
Speaker 2: little bit nasty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with that, But me being a tailor defender,
Speaker 4: apparently this episode I did see a TikTok about how
Speaker 4: it's supposed to be about multiple people, not just Charlie,
Speaker 4: Like apparently the funny Valentines is about Kim, so like
Speaker 4: the whole like like first half, which I agree.
Speaker 1: We talked about this last night. I think.
Speaker 4: Re listening to Sympathy as a Knife, it seems like
Speaker 4: that song is written from the viewpoint of Charlie speaking
Speaker 4: Charlie alone, like she's speaking about other people, but in
Speaker 4: her experience of them, not necessarily them, So it didn't
Speaker 4: really feel like a disc track.
Speaker 1: So like I.
Speaker 4: Agree that maybe it was a little bit aggressive everything
Speaker 4: she said, but it does seem like she's writing about
Speaker 4: two different people and or a combination of a lot
Speaker 4: of women who have been obsessed with her and obsessed
Speaker 4: with tearing her down. So I did see that.
Speaker 1: I see that. But then like also like on the flips,
Speaker 1: like Charlie song that I love that damn song. It's
Speaker 1: my shower song. It's also she's just like talking about
Speaker 1: not the comparison, because I mean, the time it came
Speaker 1: out did make sense why she was writing it, but
Speaker 1: I think it's also to talk about like just not
Speaker 1: trying to be like about the lyrics of the song.
Speaker 4: It's like it was like her insecurities being like shown
Speaker 4: back to her and like her experience with her own insecurities.
Speaker 1: So like and like she as said, don't want to
Speaker 1: see you backstage on my boyfriend's show, which could be
Speaker 1: anyone she's talking about, but at the time she was
Speaker 1: dating Mattie Heally, so it could be about anyone. But
Speaker 1: it also seems a little not off brand for her.
Speaker 1: But just like it just oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I thought like there was a lot of things that
Speaker 2: were off brand, and like I don't necessarily hate that
Speaker 2: because I kind of love I mean, I love people
Speaker 2: changing and whatever, and I but this was the album
Speaker 2: to me where like there was no like questioning about
Speaker 2: what situations were about. Yeah, Like I think what I
Speaker 2: heard that canceled is about like almost like staying by
Speaker 2: people like Blake Lively's side, like through every like through
Speaker 2: their shit, and like I was like, damn, I.
Speaker 1: Heard about Sophia Turner or Sophie Turner one dated jo Jonas, Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you, almost aid Nick or Kevin because she went
Speaker 1: through the whole like she had like a low key
Speaker 1: cancelation a verbatim reading it TikTok. She had a cancelation
Speaker 1: because when her and Joe got was it Joe or Nick?
Speaker 1: Would I say Joe? Yes, Joe? When they got a divorce,
Speaker 1: like she they have a kid together, she was out
Speaker 1: partying and like London all this, so they're also like
Speaker 1: giving her the bad mom edit. But then when you
Speaker 1: see on the flip side, like I didn't realize, I
Speaker 1: guess now, like Joe was the one to calling teams
Speaker 1: like his team is doing all that, So they were
Speaker 1: saying like it's like one line she said, it's like
Speaker 1: you've been through before, been with me through my exoneration.
Speaker 1: Is that the word? Yeah, yeah, just fucking And I
Speaker 1: guess that kind of flipped where it's like Sophie Turner,
Speaker 1: like Taylor let her stay at her house for whatever,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: That's something I noticed a lot with this album is
Speaker 4: I feel like the first half of every song is
Speaker 4: from one perspective and then the second half is another,
Speaker 4: Like father Figure, the whole first part is from the
Speaker 4: perspective of like the person in power, and then at
Speaker 4: the end of the song, she switches the power and she's.
Speaker 3: Now the one who's in charge. And I feel like
Speaker 3: I've noticed that.
Speaker 4: With like a lot of her This album felt like
Speaker 4: a of the first half was telling one story and
Speaker 4: then like the energy shifted, which I feel like is
Speaker 4: representative of like Taylor, like getting her power back, like
Speaker 4: that all thing. Yeah, I also feel like with Taylor,
Speaker 4: like all of her albums are so different obviously, like
Speaker 4: the first few are really similar, but like they all
Speaker 4: she like dips her toes in a lot of different genres,
Speaker 4: and I think swifties need to start identifying with different
Speaker 4: genres versus like I'm an all for one swifty. It's
Speaker 4: like you can be a folklore swifty and you can
Speaker 4: be a midnight swifty, and you can be a nineteen
Speaker 4: eighty nine to fifty and we're all in it together,
Speaker 4: but we all like different versions of her. Because I
Speaker 4: feel like so many people are comparing this. It's like
Speaker 4: I didn't really like Evermore, but I don't think Taylor's
Speaker 4: a horrible person. Like I don't think she's a bad
Speaker 4: artist because she made an album that I don't like.
Speaker 4: It's just not really my style of music versus like
Speaker 4: this one where I'm like dancing in the shower, Like
Speaker 4: I feel.
Speaker 1: They're all different vibes, Like, You're right, I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel like I consider like ever More in folklore,
Speaker 1: like together, like the like kind of like the Sadder album.
Speaker 1: And then I mean she has happiness on there. Hello
Speaker 1: you said, like, I feel like Red is like a
Speaker 1: good autumn album. Ho again, the album album with whatever
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ? Well yeah, wow, yeah, do we want to
Speaker 1: talk about the movie?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys saw Oh my God.
Speaker 4: Yes, So I we went and saw the movie, and
Speaker 4: I will preface it by saying that we saw it wrong.
Speaker 1: Yes, we one hundred percent saw it wrong.
Speaker 4: We should have seen it Friday night with a big
Speaker 4: group of people in a crowded theater.
Speaker 1: We saw it just us.
Speaker 4: In a silent theater Sunday, when I personally have already
Speaker 4: listened to the album twenty times, so it was we
Speaker 4: did leave. We left halfway through. Oh wow, it was
Speaker 4: a disappointment, but I I think regardless, it was a
Speaker 4: little bit of a disappointment. But I do think had
Speaker 4: we seen it in a different context, we maybe wouldn't
Speaker 4: have left. We would have left and been like, Okay,
Speaker 4: that wasn't really a must watch. But given how we
Speaker 4: saw it, we did leave halfway through.
Speaker 2: I think it would have been cooler. But I get
Speaker 2: why she didn't do this because she probably would have
Speaker 2: really gotten the capitalist allegations if she had said, the
Speaker 2: album is coming out Friday, but if you want to
Speaker 2: hear it first, you can come to the movie Thursday.
Speaker 2: But like that probably would have caused another shutdown with
Speaker 2: like AMC theaters and just been like a whole disaster,
Speaker 2: because if you had never heard the album, you would
Speaker 2: have probably enjoyed it more because she quite literally just
Speaker 2: goes through every song, plays them in full with a
Speaker 2: lyric video over it, and in the beginning she shows
Speaker 2: the music video for Ophelia, and then there's a lot
Speaker 2: of like behind the scenes footage. I think she could
Speaker 2: have made just like twelve different lyric videos on like
Speaker 2: a rap genius or whatever you.
Speaker 4: Like, her make her own YouTube account and done on YouTube, and.
Speaker 2: Then people could have just watched every single one if
Speaker 2: you wanted to, or like the ones that you were
Speaker 2: curious about.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, that's the My only thing that is
Speaker 1: she did do that. Like she uploaded like last night.
Speaker 1: I think it was like seven o'clock, maybe at like
Speaker 1: eight o'clock, like all everything that was in the movies
Speaker 1: is on YouTube now.
Speaker 4: Because it was done showing yesterday at seven yeah, oh fuck,
Speaker 4: I think it was yesterday.
Speaker 3: It only aired Friday, Saturday Sunday.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Then like I saw like it was like earlier
Speaker 1: to night, and I was like, oh, she already put this.
Speaker 1: I knew she was going to mm hmm. But like
Speaker 1: the lyric videos and before that, she also had like
Speaker 1: I think, you guys just like the canvas like you
Speaker 1: know on Spotify, like the canvas, like she has that
Speaker 1: already on the YouTube. That's where I just think like
Speaker 1: if it was I think like advertising. You know how
Speaker 1: Beyonce has her like renaissance and those are only in theaters,
Speaker 1: like no one can find those like anywhere on the internet,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think yeah, for probably the I know
Speaker 1: there's listening parties, but I think that's a little that's
Speaker 1: where I'm just like, it's a little not capitalist from
Speaker 1: like it is if you're putting everything that's everything. It's
Speaker 1: the music video and lyric videos. But like you said,
Speaker 1: if you already listened.
Speaker 4: To it with you can write, like that would have
Speaker 4: been so much cooler if I didn't already know all
Speaker 4: the lyrics and I was like learning them and seeing
Speaker 4: them for the first time and hearing her talk about them.
Speaker 4: But like I'd already seen half those clips on TikTok
Speaker 4: and I already saw like and I knew.
Speaker 3: The song, so it was just like not the most beneficial.
Speaker 3: But I feel like.
Speaker 4: It annoys me when she does stuff like that, because
Speaker 4: I'm like, you're just giving people more, Like people already
Speaker 4: talk so much shit on you, and like whatever, who
Speaker 4: cares She's living in her billion dollar house, what does
Speaker 4: she give a fuck? But like people already talk so
Speaker 4: much shit on her. It's like, don't give them any
Speaker 4: other reason to call you, like all of these horrible
Speaker 4: things that they're saying for no reason, Like, don't.
Speaker 1: Actually give them a reason. Yeah, not my favorite.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: Oh well, hopefully that documentary still coming soon. Like give me, like,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna keep giving us stuff, just give me
Speaker 1: what I want. I think.
Speaker 2: Another criticism and then we can wrap this up is
Speaker 2: just I don't really get the life of the show
Speaker 2: Girl theme, Like I really just don't. I think it
Speaker 2: was a great theme for the Ophelia music video, but
Speaker 2: I don't really like understand and the album I thought
Speaker 2: was gonna have like show tune vibes and more of that.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that I wanted to like that.
Speaker 2: That's not yeah, but like I was open to it
Speaker 2: like fitting an error like midnights to me, like feels
Speaker 2: like midnight like folklore, feels like you're in a folk tale.
Speaker 2: Like she's usually really good at that. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: like see that for this. I think it was more
Speaker 2: of like a story almost like maybe she she's talking
Speaker 2: about different elements of like the Showgirl biz like, but
Speaker 2: it seemed like a little bit of a stretch.
Speaker 1: Ag. Yeah, I think the here I think I was
Speaker 1: thinking that's like she had that concept, like it's a
Speaker 1: great creative concept for like a shoot or like the
Speaker 1: music video and I think the concept of itself like
Speaker 1: the show Girl, like the shoot she did. I love
Speaker 1: all of that, but it just doesn't I think she
Speaker 1: just shows like that, like look what I did, but
Speaker 1: then like the album just doesn't.
Speaker 4: It feels more like a title of the movie versus
Speaker 4: like the album. This album, to me, like just feels
Speaker 4: so lovey, like even in the songs that aren't about love,
Speaker 4: she kind of weaves in like her relationship and her
Speaker 4: like I don't know, I feel like there's a tide
Speaker 4: to Travis in every single song, like and it just like,
Speaker 4: I don't know, I feel like it should have been
Speaker 4: something more about being like loverish versus like the Life
Speaker 4: of show Girl, which I don't really like. I did
Speaker 4: see when she originally announced it that everyone was saying
Speaker 4: she did it so she could be rank higher than
Speaker 4: the Life of Pablo from Kanye. So I don't know
Speaker 4: if that's like her soul reason, but I did hear
Speaker 4: that that's why she wanted to name it the Life
Speaker 4: of a show Girl.
Speaker 1: I did see that too.
Speaker 2: Smart damn get his ass. That's crazy, that's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: If there's one thing you need to learn from tylor
Speaker 4: Swift is like we just need to be more like
Speaker 4: petty with people who fuck us over, like the way
Speaker 4: she's like, Oh, you fucked me over in ninth grade.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna remember that. I'm gonna put an easter egg
Speaker 4: about you in my song twenty years later, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's insane, that's crazy. If that's true, Yeah,
Speaker 2: makes sense to me.
Speaker 1: Anything else going on I did.
Speaker 4: I did go to my first ever event alone last week,
Speaker 4: and that was crazy going to like an event. First off,
Speaker 4: going to an event where you were having an active anxiety.
Speaker 3: Attack is crazy work, Like I.
Speaker 2: Bring your bills with you. No, wow, so you white
Speaker 2: knuckled it.
Speaker 4: I really truly was pushing myself. I recently did something
Speaker 4: like out of my comfort zone. I was like challenging
Speaker 4: myself and I felt really good about it. And I
Speaker 4: was like, I haven't done that in a while. Like
Speaker 4: I've been like existing in spaces that I feel very
Speaker 4: like comfortable in, and I like did something I spent
Speaker 4: a day alone and I was like, oh, that's like
Speaker 4: fun and it made me feel good. So I was
Speaker 4: really inspired to go to this event and walking in
Speaker 4: I was first off, I circled the block twice because
Speaker 4: I walked past it and there was no one in
Speaker 4: the event, so I was like, of course, I have
Speaker 4: to go take another lap around the block.
Speaker 3: Finally made my way in and I.
Speaker 4: Just went straight to the bathroom because I feel like
Speaker 4: I just needed to get through the door and then
Speaker 4: from there I could like figure out how I wanted
Speaker 4: to do the rest of the night. But as soon
Speaker 4: as I got in, I panicked, So I went straight
Speaker 4: to the bathroom and I was having panic attack in
Speaker 4: the bathroom, and then I started having a panic attack
Speaker 4: about how long I was in the bathroom because it
Speaker 4: was just like one singular bathroom in the restaurant. So
Speaker 4: I was sitting in there freaking out about how I
Speaker 4: was so afraid to go out there. And then I
Speaker 4: was like, but now I'm in here for so long,
Speaker 4: now it seems weird, Like what if someone's waiting outside
Speaker 4: of the door. This is weirder that I've been in
Speaker 4: here for so long. So the fear of somebody waiting
Speaker 4: outside of the door forced me to like just go.
Speaker 4: I was like, I have to just get out of here,
Speaker 4: because if somebody's waiting and I've just been in here
Speaker 4: for five minutes, like that's so that's even more embarrassing
Speaker 4: than being alone, and so I like went and I
Speaker 4: actually ended and ended up running into someone I know,
Speaker 4: which did help. But like it's so it made me
Speaker 4: feel so privileged because we get to go to so
Speaker 4: many events together and like even if it's not the
Speaker 4: four of us, it's at least two of us, or like,
Speaker 4: especially in Philly. I've definitely gone to events alone in Philly,
Speaker 4: but we know a lot of other creators in this city,
Speaker 4: and we also know what to expect at events. So
Speaker 4: going to an event that I had no idea what
Speaker 4: I was walking too, I had no idea that the
Speaker 4: company that put it together or the event that it
Speaker 4: was promoting, I was like, Oh, this is what other
Speaker 4: people feel like when they come to influence their events.
Speaker 4: Like it like made me feel like I want to
Speaker 4: be more welcoming to other people when they when I
Speaker 4: see someone walk into an event alone, Because like some
Speaker 4: girl came up to me who was just like a
Speaker 4: stranger and started talking to me, and I was like,
Speaker 4: in my head, I was like, that.
Speaker 2: Was so nice.
Speaker 3: She has no idea how nervous I just was, and
Speaker 3: she just came over.
Speaker 4: And she's like, I love your outfit, My name's blank, Like,
Speaker 4: you look really cute. I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: did I just make a friend?
Speaker 1: Like so I was being a girl.
Speaker 4: It's so easy to make a friend. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: your hair is so cute? Did you get it done to?
Speaker 4: Like did you crawl your hair?
Speaker 1: What do you use?
Speaker 4: I love the color? Like you could just say so
Speaker 4: many things. So I was so proud of myself. I
Speaker 4: couldn't believe that I actually did it. I don't know
Speaker 4: how many more of those I'll love to go to.
Speaker 4: But it was very fun.
Speaker 2: Inspiring me.
Speaker 4: It was for a summer house. Well it was not
Speaker 4: for summerhouse. I keep calling in a summerhouse event. But
Speaker 4: it was at Carl radkey 's new bar. And I
Speaker 4: feel like we've talked.
Speaker 3: About how the three of us like summerhouse on here before.
Speaker 4: So when I got that invite, I just was like, damn,
Speaker 4: I kind of just have to go see it because
Speaker 4: so many people I've been talking about it.
Speaker 1: But it's so cute.
Speaker 4: I feel like we need to go and spend a
Speaker 4: day hour alcohol there none no alcohol. They do breakfast
Speaker 4: and coffee in the morning, and then I turns into
Speaker 4: like a social bar at night. But it's like really cool.
Speaker 4: It's in like a cool area, like a cool spot
Speaker 4: in Brooklyn, So.
Speaker 1: I think we need to go. Wow, maybe he'll be there.
Speaker 2: How'd you get there?
Speaker 3: I took the train. I've been taking the Hamilton Parkins.
Speaker 4: You like just drive. It's thirty two dollars to get
Speaker 4: there and back from New York. It's so cheap. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And it was like, yeah, it was one time I
Speaker 4: loved so nice. I just sat on the train on
Speaker 4: the way back. I was crashing out because I got
Speaker 4: Chick fil A really really like the event. I ended
Speaker 4: up luckily, I ended up staying longer than I thought
Speaker 4: I was. I genuinely thought I was going to go
Speaker 4: for five minutes and leave. I ended up saying for
Speaker 4: like forty, so I was really hungry. I picked up
Speaker 4: Chick fil A, and then I saw that the train
Speaker 4: was boarding, so I was sprinting to make it to
Speaker 4: the train because I didn't want to have to wait.
Speaker 1: Another thirty minutes.
Speaker 4: And I was so frazzled, and I like walked up
Speaker 4: and there was no seats anywhere. So I walked through
Speaker 4: like three trains to find a seat, and I finally
Speaker 4: found one, and I just had to like quietly eat
Speaker 4: my Chick fil a like, and I didn't want to
Speaker 4: put my bag on the ground because I'm like gross
Speaker 4: about drums. So I had all my bags on my
Speaker 4: lap and I was just trying to eat like my
Speaker 4: fries and dip my chicken.
Speaker 3: And I was like, this is so embarrassing. And then
Speaker 3: some girl damned me and said, oh.
Speaker 1: My god, I saw you on the train.
Speaker 3: I was too scared to say hi, together girl.
Speaker 4: I was sweating, freaking out trying to film myself because
Speaker 4: I was making a vlog.
Speaker 3: I was like, I probably looked a hot ass mess.
Speaker 2: Damn that sounds good.
Speaker 1: I know it sounds It was incredible. It's funny when
Speaker 1: you said about like anxiety while like you were like, oh,
Speaker 1: like I'm wonder if someone's coming into the bathroom or
Speaker 1: not bad like people waiting for me. I am pee
Speaker 1: anxiety in public and that's sometimes if if I really
Speaker 1: have to pee, and like it's like I know it's
Speaker 1: all coming out. Like for instance, it happened weird to Loom.
Speaker 1: We were about to get on the boat and I
Speaker 1: knew everyone was waiting, but like, its just I could
Speaker 1: not pee for life. And I'm like Bailey, so many
Speaker 1: people are waiting for you right now, Like I always
Speaker 1: say that I had, like so many people are waiting
Speaker 1: on you, waiting on you right now, get out and pee,
Speaker 1: like I just have to like convince myself like people
Speaker 1: are waiting on me. But then for some reason, I
Speaker 1: can't pee. If it's a stall and like I'm the
Speaker 1: first doll and people are right there, I can't. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't care if I waiting, I'll just I'll see
Speaker 1: you for the next thirty minutes.
Speaker 4: I feel like there's been so many times where you're
Speaker 4: like in the bathroom and then we go out and
Speaker 4: you're like, I didn't even pee, and I'm like you
Speaker 4: just said how bad you have to pee?
Speaker 1: Like I know I couldn't. I know my brain like
Speaker 1: it's so bad my body. I'm like my brain will
Speaker 1: just be like no, if you're not peeing, like you can't, damn,
Speaker 1: I know, it's really fucked. I mean, luckily I could
Speaker 1: be that. I always like say when I meet someone,
Speaker 1: it doesn't really happen actually, or if I'm just lying
Speaker 1: at lying I'm trying to think, or like I guess
Speaker 1: it's a friend, like we're friends with when we start
Speaker 1: becoming friends with someone, yes, like more friendly with him,
Speaker 1: and they're with me peeing. I'm like wow, I'm like
Speaker 1: I can pee around you and they're like what. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm peeing in front of you, Like this is a
Speaker 1: big deal right now, excuse me when I'm black.
Speaker 4: Though, I can't pay in front of Jake, like sometimes
Speaker 4: when he's showering and I have to pee, like and
Speaker 4: if I'm upstairs, I don't feel like going downstairs, so
Speaker 4: we like just come in and like I can't pee
Speaker 4: with him in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: It freaks me out.
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, he'll hear it, like you can't hear
Speaker 3: me pee, or.
Speaker 1: Like you just never know if we're gonna fart for you, pea.
Speaker 1: There's also there's a lot to consider that, there's a
Speaker 1: lot so bad on the line. You're on the line.
Speaker 2: I know. I've been seeing these tiktoks about like morning
Speaker 2: poops and like they really do hit.
Speaker 1: Nights, they hit beautifully, Like, oh.
Speaker 2: Sorry, that was a TikTok. I saw this girl whose
Speaker 2: TikTok was. She was like, I love seeing all these
Speaker 2: people's morning routine. She actually said farted. She was like,
Speaker 2: I woke up this morning and I farted really loud,
Speaker 2: and that was like her whole video, and I was
Speaker 2: just like thank god, dude, Like thank god. Are all AnyWho?
Speaker 2: We haven't done a pyramid ranking in a while, and
Speaker 2: we'll get to it, but we wanted to have a
Speaker 2: conversation today about group chats and their dynamics. And I
Speaker 2: feel like this has been so interesting because my relationship
Speaker 2: with group chats has changed so much, like as I've
Speaker 2: gotten older, like i feel like I'm not in as
Speaker 2: many and the ones that I'm in aren't as active.
Speaker 2: But like during my early twenties in college, like group
Speaker 2: chats were genuinely like my everything. Like the group chat
Speaker 2: like was was the place to be.
Speaker 1: It was like your social experience.
Speaker 4: Like whatever group chat you were in and whatever one
Speaker 4: was most active was like how you.
Speaker 1: Were feeling or what you were doing for that day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you said as like a general noun, like, oh,
Speaker 1: do you see the group chat? Do you write in
Speaker 1: the group chat?
Speaker 2: Like I got an iPhone originally in high school because
Speaker 2: I've heard about the group chat feature. I was like,
Speaker 2: I need to have that in high school.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: I was like, I need to have like a group
Speaker 2: conversation like that, that's insane that like you could.
Speaker 1: Do that on I message. Oh my god, that was.
Speaker 2: Like an iOS update like probably like back in.
Speaker 1: The right like now featuring group chats. You're so right,
Speaker 1: we didn't have kids don't know about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, kids really don't know that you used to
Speaker 2: not be able to have a group chat.
Speaker 1: No, actually side talk. I just saw TikTok recently. It
Speaker 1: was like, kids don't know what it was like text
Speaker 1: on ten nine and like when or it's the etiquette
Speaker 1: of texting and like we used to say like brb
Speaker 1: or like got to go, like you would say like
Speaker 1: or like can't text right now? Like we would tell
Speaker 1: each other like got to go, Like no, just like
Speaker 1: dropping off the face of the earth, like damn, yeah,
Speaker 1: we got no group chats.
Speaker 2: And then I feel like just the waves like really
Speaker 2: like escalated when they started to release, like emphasizing messages
Speaker 2: and laughing at messages and like that just took everything
Speaker 2: to another level. It's like being the group chat like comedian,
Speaker 2: like making everybody laugh, Like that is such an honor
Speaker 2: when you get that, because there.
Speaker 4: Was like nothing worse than working in college and like
Speaker 4: if you were busy and you look at your phone
Speaker 4: and there's sixty three text messages because everyone in the
Speaker 4: group chat is not working and they're all actively talking,
Speaker 4: and you're like in the fucking weeds at work. You're miserable,
Speaker 4: you're hungover, it's busy, you're hot, you want to go home,
Speaker 4: and it's just blowing up and you're like, fuck, I
Speaker 4: have to read through all of these messages. I have
Speaker 4: to go back and figure out the context of everything.
Speaker 1: Like that was the worst when we had a huge,
Speaker 1: massive group chat.
Speaker 4: But now I feel like with like emphasizing and laughing,
Speaker 4: you can kind of like they're almost like spark notes,
Speaker 4: like you can read through the most important parts of
Speaker 4: the message and sort of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, move on. I also like the newer feature where
Speaker 1: it's like because once you said that I thought about something,
Speaker 1: when we'd have to like scroll through and see what
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about, when you can reply to because now,
Speaker 1: like I feel like back in the like when we'd
Speaker 1: have sixty some messages, like I feel like we just
Speaker 1: get so fucked up, But it'd be nice when like
Speaker 1: i'd have that downtime, like okay, like let me read
Speaker 1: the story. Now.
Speaker 2: Have you guys ever been in a group chat fight,
Speaker 2: like fighting with either the whole chat or fighting with
Speaker 2: someone but like in public and the chat.
Speaker 4: I feel like in college, we definitely had a few
Speaker 4: experiences where like I can't remember them specifically, but I
Speaker 4: feel like I remember the like idea of like two
Speaker 4: people kind of fighting in the group chat and then
Speaker 4: all of a sudden they stop answering and then you
Speaker 4: like later talk to them and they're like, oh, well,
Speaker 4: I texted her outside of the group chat, like yeah,
Speaker 4: you can like see that the fight went offline. That's
Speaker 4: sort of like I feel like the most I've ever
Speaker 4: like fought in a group chat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've definitely like fought in group chats before, like
Speaker 2: and I feel like it's like always like been at
Speaker 2: my probably like bitchiest times where I was like, you
Speaker 2: know what, I'm so pissed off, like I'm going to
Speaker 2: say this in the group chat, so like okay, especially
Speaker 2: if you like know that like everyone else is low
Speaker 2: key feeling the same, like you take on the role
Speaker 2: of like being like fine if no one else said,
Speaker 2: I will like and that's always like a sticky point
Speaker 2: I will say for me because then like I would
Speaker 2: do it and I would get pissed off when no
Speaker 2: one else would say anything, I'd be like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: And then you're texting everyone outside of the group chat
Speaker 4: and you're like, you just told me you're mad at
Speaker 4: her for that the other day. Why aren't you not
Speaker 4: saying anything? And they're like, oh, well, I just wanted,
Speaker 4: you know, I wanted her to reply, and you're like, no,
Speaker 4: you're fake, like you said you were mad at her
Speaker 4: for that.
Speaker 2: And that awful like low point where you have to
Speaker 2: text someone outside like can you emphasize the message? Can
Speaker 2: you like my message?
Speaker 4: Or like the worst when it's like pre planned, like
Speaker 4: two people are texting as a group. It's like, hey,
Speaker 4: I'm going to send this in the group chat. Can
Speaker 4: you reply really quick? And like you have to like
Speaker 4: set it up.
Speaker 2: I've done that before.
Speaker 1: I did for your engagement. I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: I about to say this in the group check you guys, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys, just like fucking say something else.
Speaker 4: And then it's like the worst when you have two
Speaker 4: really similar group chats but there's one person missing from
Speaker 4: like the one that's a crucial person, and so like
Speaker 4: you're in one group chat and then you're kind of
Speaker 4: talking shit and maybe a smaller group chat, and then
Speaker 4: you start to get the anxiety of like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: what group chat am I sending this in? Like I
Speaker 4: don't think I've ever accidentally sent a message in the
Speaker 4: wrong group chat. I definitely sent a wrong message to
Speaker 4: someone individually, but I feel like when it comes to
Speaker 4: group chats, I'm really careful about it, only.
Speaker 1: Because I know when it's times where we've had two
Speaker 1: separate group chats going on, and in one group chat whatever,
Speaker 1: like we're just talking about that group chat. It's like,
Speaker 1: we need to figure this out. But I actually just
Speaker 1: like yesterday or day before, I was on Instagram and
Speaker 1: I shouldn't we have our group chat labeled? I just
Speaker 1: was not paying attention and I just saw like Brandon
Speaker 1: Lindsay and like two I think it was I could
Speaker 1: have sworn and said one other and I just sent
Speaker 1: someone's story to that random ass group chat and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh shit, my fault.
Speaker 4: So and there was someone who had no idea the
Speaker 4: context of the story you said, and I was I'm like.
Speaker 1: Why is she dming me? I was so confusing, Like fuck,
Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like that happens, or like when
Speaker 1: I feel like getting back to the comedian of the
Speaker 1: group chat. That is one just because I will say
Speaker 1: some group chats I have that role. But I feel
Speaker 1: like that's when I have to Like if I'm looking
Speaker 1: actively on the group chat, that's when feel I can
Speaker 1: really engage. But sometimes I hate it if I missed
Speaker 1: the joke and it's really active by like three texts,
Speaker 1: Like if I'm in there and it's taken me too
Speaker 1: long to find that reaction to me, I'm like, fuck it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And like I feel like I'm I never used
Speaker 4: to be like this, but I feel.
Speaker 3: Like now I'm a multiple text texture.
Speaker 4: Like I send multiple texts even though I'm only speaking
Speaker 4: in one part, because it's just like how my brain works.
Speaker 4: So sometimes I text something in the group chat and
Speaker 4: then people respond before I've sent the next thing. So like,
Speaker 4: if I have something really important, I'll like type it
Speaker 4: all out first and then like copy and paste it,
Speaker 4: like if I want to send.
Speaker 3: It separately, which is just like so ocd me.
Speaker 4: But I'm like, I can't let anyone type before I
Speaker 4: send this next part because it'll change the context of everything.
Speaker 2: I just said. Yeah, have you ever left a group chat?
Speaker 1: No, I haven't. I just put group, do not disturb. Sorry,
Speaker 1: cats homes not a surprise. I sometimes it's just too much,
Speaker 1: too much. I've definitely been in the group chat when
Speaker 1: someone's left and then someone's like, ooh, that was awkward.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, no, I think I've been taking out
Speaker 1: as a joke. I'm like, this isn't funny, Like I
Speaker 1: don't think that's a funny joke, because then you have
Speaker 1: to ask something you had me back like that's I
Speaker 1: think that's really embarrassing.
Speaker 2: No, damn, what was I gonna say? Oh? So yeah,
Speaker 2: I feel like in high school, I had this giant
Speaker 2: group chat and we if anyone from my my friend
Speaker 2: the group from high school is for some reasons listening
Speaker 2: to this, they're gonna laugh. We had a group chat.
Speaker 2: It was our senior week house and then into college
Speaker 2: we used it and like it honestly was amazing, like
Speaker 2: having this group chat. It was called the situation. Oh,
Speaker 2: and we all wrote in that so much and it
Speaker 2: was so helpful, like because we were all at different schools,
Speaker 2: like all at different like size schools, different things, and
Speaker 2: we'd be like, oh my gosh, like this is happening
Speaker 2: to me right now, Like oh my God, guys, I'm
Speaker 2: rushing the sorority and like look what they made me do,
Speaker 2: and like it was so like supportive, but then it
Speaker 2: would get nasty sometimes because you could like see like
Speaker 2: people like also competing and be like, well, I'm doing
Speaker 2: this at my school and like this is happening at
Speaker 2: my school. But then the I feel like ever so
Speaker 2: in that fable happens where there becomes a chat within
Speaker 2: the chat, So then four of us had a chat
Speaker 2: outside of it called the Mini Liddy since the big
Speaker 2: chat was.
Speaker 4: Called I like from that's give me flashbacks of you
Speaker 4: talking about like that.
Speaker 2: Group chat where we would text outside and be like
Speaker 2: it sounds so like pissing all off today, or like
Speaker 2: I want to hang out with just you guys tonight
Speaker 2: and like not the big group, and that's where shit
Speaker 2: gets like petty. But like also I feel like everyone
Speaker 2: like there's if you're in a big friend group where
Speaker 2: you have a lot of friends, there's probably like a
Speaker 2: big group chat, and then there's like a subcategory of
Speaker 2: like the smaller chat within the chat.
Speaker 1: You're right, I like in college, like I was recently
Speaker 1: going through my messages because I was like leaving them.
Speaker 1: I still have every single group chat on my phone.
Speaker 2: That's insane. This is what we had, like four, I
Speaker 2: was like looking at one of our own career.
Speaker 3: Before someone hacks your eye clouds.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, here's a right. No, I was like
Speaker 1: being the one that we had. Like also, like the
Speaker 1: group chat names, that's what they brings back. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my Jesus, like this is popping up on my phone.
Speaker 1: I mean Biden's Barby's was iconic. I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but like you're right, I should. Was that the girlies
Speaker 1: group chat before it was the girlies.
Speaker 2: Oh that's our like snapchat, that's crazy girlsap girls was
Speaker 2: like my favorite name.
Speaker 1: That was good.
Speaker 4: I remember in college was Philly Queen's the biggest one
Speaker 4: we had or no, what was the biggest Yeah, something
Speaker 4: like that, like Queen's or something. I remember in college
Speaker 4: we had this massive group chat that was like ten
Speaker 4: girls deep. We've talked about our big friend group in
Speaker 4: college before, and I remember like there would be a
Speaker 4: moment where it was like, oh, like is she finally
Speaker 4: being added to the group chat, and like we would
Speaker 4: like add people and that was like a big moment
Speaker 4: when we would add someone to the group chat.
Speaker 1: I remember what I could add. I know where I
Speaker 1: was at. That's why I on my phone. I was queen.
Speaker 1: That was crazy.
Speaker 3: Because that group chat in college was like the huge deal.
Speaker 4: Like that's where all the drama went down, all the
Speaker 4: plane happened, and it was like a big deal. And
Speaker 4: then like like you just said, slowly, it was like, oh,
Speaker 4: the four of us are in one, and then the
Speaker 4: three of us and then we like had we had
Speaker 4: so many different groups at one point that it was like.
Speaker 1: Bring break that broke up that Queen's that.
Speaker 2: We had the yep, that's whereas came in.
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, we did have a massive Yeah was it
Speaker 1: spring break?
Speaker 2: That ended it pretty much?
Speaker 1: Yeah, people loft the group chat like that was a big.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a big That was a turning point.
Speaker 1: Well, I want to get back to what you're saying
Speaker 1: about emphasizing messages. I don't know if that's going to
Speaker 1: get into the pyramid, but I will say, as a
Speaker 1: person that like has gone out of group chats, I
Speaker 1: still pay attention. I'm still in them. That's not me
Speaker 1: saying take me out, but emphasizing has given me such
Speaker 1: an out for some things. But it's also like I
Speaker 1: just want to be like, I agree, but I also
Speaker 1: hate when it first came out when perst that one
Speaker 1: person emphasizes everything in a chat and you're just getting
Speaker 1: multiple notifications that they're not responding. Yeah, no, I did
Speaker 1: that earlier to you guys, but do not mirror.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the notifications are a little crazy. Yeah, I wonder
Speaker 2: if you can turn that off because like even earlier,
Speaker 2: like I was like, I walked back to my phone
Speaker 2: and I was like sixteen text messages, like literally just
Speaker 2: went to the bathroom and it was like half people
Speaker 2: just like emphasizing or liking something. I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: like that's.
Speaker 1: That counts as a message.
Speaker 2: Yeah yea, So I was like, there probably is a
Speaker 2: future where you can turn that off. Not sure.
Speaker 4: I love that you can react with emojis now too,
Speaker 4: because sometimes like the emphasis or the heart just don't
Speaker 4: do it for me, Like I just can't. They don't
Speaker 4: tell the story that I need them to tell, and
Speaker 4: I feel like I can tell it better with an emoji.
Speaker 2: Right right, I agree with that. Well, let's rank yeah,
Speaker 2: okay on the bottom for me, and I just made
Speaker 2: a TikTok about this is. I hate when someone makes
Speaker 2: a big group chat for one single event. I will
Speaker 2: take accountability that I did do this for New Year's
Speaker 2: Eve last year, But besides that, I I don't think
Speaker 2: i've ever, like in my recent years, have done that
Speaker 2: where it's like, say someone's having a birthday party and
Speaker 2: they just make a giant group chat with like twenty people.
Speaker 2: You don't have anybody's numbers, and like one like the
Speaker 2: first day that it's made, it's like popping off, and
Speaker 2: then it's just now. See.
Speaker 1: I kind of like that.
Speaker 4: Really, I feel like I only like it if I'm
Speaker 4: a key member of the of the group, like if
Speaker 4: I know the majority of the people totally get it.
Speaker 4: If it's like I'm kind of the outsider and I
Speaker 4: don't have anyone's number saved, and I don't even know
Speaker 4: who's making the jokes. But for me, it's like when
Speaker 4: you are when you have most of the numbers saved
Speaker 4: and you're about to like go on a trip or
Speaker 4: like go to a party or go to an event,
Speaker 4: and everyone can start texting in it, and then at
Speaker 4: the event you're texting in it, and then the next
Speaker 4: morning you're texting in it.
Speaker 1: It sort of feels like a little summer house.
Speaker 4: For a second, you're like, oh, this is so fun,
Speaker 4: Like we're all kind of in this together. But for me,
Speaker 4: the bottom of the group of the pyramid would be
Speaker 4: group chats that I don't have anyone's number saved because
Speaker 4: it's just like I don't know who's talking about what.
Speaker 4: I don't know who's like that. So it's like a
Speaker 4: double edged sword because I like it and then.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I hate it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I see it for a night out, like
Speaker 1: we don't need a big group chat, but also but
Speaker 1: also makes sense though it makes sense what people in
Speaker 1: groups I so you don't have to send the same
Speaker 1: message fourteen different times, like five times whatever. Ugh, it's
Speaker 1: a double edged sword. I'm like, I'm with you on
Speaker 1: that one group chat.
Speaker 4: It's not a specific group chat, but it's like a
Speaker 4: group chat etiquette that bothers me that I am guilty of,
Speaker 4: so I can take accountability. But it's like when somebody
Speaker 4: asks a question, or when you ask a question and
Speaker 4: no one answers it and then somebody says something else
Speaker 4: without ever referring to what you asked before, Like at
Speaker 4: least I'll try to be like, Lol, that was so funny.
Speaker 4: Ohso guys who wants to come over and watch a
Speaker 4: movie tonight, Like I'll try to like slightly answer it,
Speaker 4: but sometimes it's like you saw my message not say anything,
Speaker 4: and you're just gonna start a whole new topic and
Speaker 4: not talk about what I just said.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say that has been Another least favorite
Speaker 2: is like a group chat where just no one answers
Speaker 2: and I feel like I've been on the side of
Speaker 2: it where I write stuff and nobody answers them, Like.
Speaker 1: I know you say that, but I swear, I swear
Speaker 1: I think is I agree? Well I can't. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm the person who doesn't answer. But then
Speaker 1: I'm like casey wrom like I say the one thing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, these bitches don't fuck with me, but
Speaker 1: they I'm like okay, Like I get it, I get it.
Speaker 4: But you're right the amount of times, Bailey, that you
Speaker 4: have gone on your finsteman like no one's answering me
Speaker 4: in the group chat today, so fuck all of y'all.
Speaker 4: No one likes me, and I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, bitch you just five minutes ago. It's like like
Speaker 1: or like you know that meme where it's like the
Speaker 1: woman on the train and she's like like herself always
Speaker 1: when I say something, you're telling all right, I do
Speaker 1: find but no, I get that. Are we still in
Speaker 1: the bottom of the pyramid? Yeah, okay, ok M maybe
Speaker 1: Casey can you go? I had it. I don't know.
Speaker 1: If I want to see overactive.
Speaker 2: Group chats, I would say, yeah, is on.
Speaker 4: A bottom, Like it could be like a it could
Speaker 4: be one of those flexible ones.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's on the bottom. Sometimes it's middle.
Speaker 2: It's constantly overactive. That's annoying. If there's like one day
Speaker 2: where it's like popping off, like sometimes that's really funny,
Speaker 2: but otherwise, yeah, not my favorite.
Speaker 1: Yeah right.
Speaker 2: I think the drama group chat, like where there's people
Speaker 2: like fighting in it is on the middle for me
Speaker 2: because sometimes if you're not involved, it's very entertaining and
Speaker 2: like crazy. But other times, when you are involved or
Speaker 2: you're not enjoying the drama as much, it can be bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like that happens too when you're planning
Speaker 4: something and everyone's sort of going back and then you
Speaker 4: like can tell maybe like two people want to do
Speaker 4: something and two people want to do something else, and
Speaker 4: they're like and you're just like watching it all happen
Speaker 4: and you're like, damn, they're fighting in the group chat,
Speaker 4: like I don't really care where this goes either way,
Speaker 4: but they're like going back and forth with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I feel like mine too. Again, I feel like mine
Speaker 3: are like etiquettes.
Speaker 4: Like I kind of when two people are fighting in
Speaker 4: a group chat and at some point they don't just
Speaker 4: text separately, it's kind of like, all right, now you're
Speaker 4: like crowding up my inbox for no reason.
Speaker 1: Like if you two or if like two.
Speaker 4: People are very active messaging each other and no one
Speaker 4: else is answering, just take it intoto a separate chat
Speaker 4: Like that happened the other day. I was texting the
Speaker 4: group chat and me lindsay, we're going back and forth
Speaker 4: about a topic, and I just text her outside of it.
Speaker 4: I was like, these they don't care about what we're
Speaker 4: talking about, Like let me go deeper into what I
Speaker 4: have to say, Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just gonna say that. Like when two
Speaker 1: people are like active, it's like okay, Like if I
Speaker 1: know I'm not, like, don't I don't want to clog
Speaker 1: up these people in box about something they don't care about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree on that. I it's the middle. I kind
Speaker 1: of like, well, I don't know. I like family group chats,
Speaker 1: like I think those are fun.
Speaker 2: I don't have any, but I'm sure they're not.
Speaker 1: They can be. But then like I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: y'all are because I have my family group like my mom,
Speaker 1: like my uncles, like they're older, so I like the
Speaker 1: jokes get like just so old. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: taking me off of this, like like y'all can have
Speaker 1: a separate one, like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm guilty of in my family group chat, like
Speaker 4: sometimes I just use it as my own journal, like
Speaker 4: when anybody else does anything, I don't answer.
Speaker 1: But then it's like when I have.
Speaker 4: Something to say, everyone needs to text me back immediately
Speaker 4: and you will all be responding to it. But like,
Speaker 4: I'm not going to respond to everything you guys say.
Speaker 4: They're gonna be so mad at me for that because
Speaker 4: they call me out for it all the time. But sorry, Oh,
Speaker 4: I would be so hurt if I found out that
Speaker 4: my sister and my parents had a group like an
Speaker 4: active group chat without it, I would actually be really offended.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say on my middle is the big
Speaker 2: friend group chat, Like I like it. I think it's
Speaker 2: great for making plans. I think it's great to like
Speaker 2: be all together. I just feel like it's usually kind
Speaker 2: of surface level, like about just hey, does anyone want
Speaker 2: to do this? Like it doesn't really ever get like
Speaker 2: too personal. So it's a mid tier for me. I
Speaker 2: enjoy it. It's not my favorite.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, I agree.
Speaker 2: I would say my favorite is the chat within the
Speaker 2: chat always and not even and now it's not in
Speaker 2: like a petty or spiteful way, like really it's genuinely
Speaker 2: just like this is the chat that I'm gonna write
Speaker 2: to like my closest friends about like my closest issues,
Speaker 2: and that's it, Like I want support and that's like
Speaker 2: I don't want to have fun in this chat. And
Speaker 2: like also like I don't know, I just feel like
Speaker 2: it's more personal and that's what I like about it.
Speaker 4: That's what I was gonna say, Like I like the
Speaker 4: chat that, like the close friends chat, that I can
Speaker 4: say something insanely rude to you guys, like talking shit,
Speaker 4: I can say something really meaningful, like hey, I'm going
Speaker 4: through something. I can just be like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: I just saw this person. Like you can say anything
Speaker 4: to this group chat and it's gonna go well, Like
Speaker 4: you don't have to be like, oh.
Speaker 3: Should I not say that in this one? Like you
Speaker 3: can say whatever you need to.
Speaker 1: I agree, your true authentic self, like if like like
Speaker 1: you have to act professional, like I just like I
Speaker 1: don't say certain things in certain groups, like I don't
Speaker 1: send everybody reaction gift right, like like not everyone's gonna
Speaker 1: laugh at them, like especially like some of the reactions
Speaker 1: I send. But I'm like, I know you guys, like
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you guys get my humor. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: I also love I don't know if we ever talked
Speaker 3: about on the podcast.
Speaker 4: I love that we have two separate group chats for
Speaker 4: like friendship in the podcast, because it is really nice
Speaker 4: to be able to like send a text in the
Speaker 4: podcast group chat that's like business business E. And then
Speaker 4: if like we have like there have been times where
Speaker 4: we're texting in both, like we're saying something like business
Speaker 4: C in the.
Speaker 3: Podcast group chat and then like talking.
Speaker 4: Friendship and just our friend group chat, And I'm like
Speaker 4: that does help my brain.
Speaker 1: I will say the day we decide to do that,
Speaker 1: like it like it really changed our lives. Like I
Speaker 1: do love it. I thought it's gonna be like annoying,
Speaker 1: like damn, I have two group chats with the same people.
Speaker 1: But I love it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, cause I know if I need to find something
Speaker 4: for the podcast, I'm not scrolling through screenshots memes, like
Speaker 4: I know that I'm going into the business group chat
Speaker 4: and I'm only going to find useful information.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're so right, fair enough, I think we covered it.
Speaker 1: We did. I love a groupup chat. I'll take you.
Speaker 4: I'm really curious for people to comment there, like on YouTube,
Speaker 4: like comment your group chat experiences, like do gen z
Speaker 4: have different group chats than we do?
Speaker 3: Like do they have different group chat etiquettes?
Speaker 2: So comment your best group chat name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, I don't want to steal it.
Speaker 2: I want to steal it too. I feel like FYP
Speaker 2: we kind of covered since I'm sure your alls is
Speaker 2: all tailor swift.
Speaker 1: Literally, I might like reset it. I can't really, It's
Speaker 1: like it's so negative and like I just like can't.
Speaker 1: I can't scroll, like impletally cannot scroll on my phone.
Speaker 2: Maybe search for a positive video and then it will
Speaker 2: I find that is what Really? If you search something that,
Speaker 2: at least for my FYP brings everything.
Speaker 1: Truly it usually does. Yeah, I guess you're right.
Speaker 2: Like that really changes my entire FYP. If I like
Speaker 2: search like Nino dub brav right now, I would be
Speaker 2: on Nino dub breath Talk.
Speaker 4: I have a burner TikTok that I just Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: so embarrassing because I accidentally shared it with all my
Speaker 4: contacts and I'm like, damn, everybody probably thinks I'm like
Speaker 4: trying to use this to face.
Speaker 2: I didn't get the note.
Speaker 4: It's called hot Dog COTTI everyone can. It's fine, It's
Speaker 4: hot Dog Cotty thirteen. And this is the burner account
Speaker 4: that I use to search anything that I don't want
Speaker 4: on my own FYP. So like if I'm interested in
Speaker 4: a topic, whether it's like for work, or like if
Speaker 4: I'm interested in something that I just don't feel like
Speaker 4: making it my main FYP, I search it on this
Speaker 4: burner account and it's so nice and I can especially
Speaker 4: curate it to certain topics, so like right now, it's
Speaker 4: really curated to like social media marketing. So like when
Speaker 4: I need inspo for work, I just go on my
Speaker 4: burner FIP and all the info ie is there, and
Speaker 4: then I have my own personal that's like funny time.
Speaker 4: It's a really nice hack. So if you ever want
Speaker 4: to search something, make a burner knows. Yeah, you don't
Speaker 4: need a burner to talk.
Speaker 1: I'm already on reels half today brand. How are you
Speaker 1: about reels? Do you scroll reels?
Speaker 2: No? Never, you're a poster or not a we will
Speaker 2: create or not a scroller. Now I don't ever use
Speaker 2: I really probably should look more on there.
Speaker 1: It's all I feel like.
Speaker 4: Reels to me is the most marketing of any social
Speaker 4: media app. Like every video to me is like the
Speaker 4: top five reasons I stopped doing pilates, the top five
Speaker 4: reasons I started doing pilates, the top things, Like it's
Speaker 4: just like those kind of videos at least that's my
Speaker 4: reels page I'm on like.
Speaker 1: Like I get the weirdest like how is this legal
Speaker 1: on Instagram type of thing. Yeah, so like I can't
Speaker 1: talk about on here, Like it's just like I'm on
Speaker 1: such a random side of reels where like I can't
Speaker 1: I need get off m it's on a reset.
Speaker 2: I do have an unslicited wreck and this is not
Speaker 2: an ad, but I didn't add for this. If you
Speaker 2: need a good show to watch, especially if you live
Speaker 2: in Philly watch Task on HBO. It's like true crime,
Speaker 2: but like also like just really like I feel like
Speaker 2: it's like a story about like hope and stuff too.
Speaker 2: And it's like if you ever watch Mayor of East Town,
Speaker 2: it's the same creator and it's very similar vibes. And
Speaker 2: that's like one of my favorite mini series ever.
Speaker 1: Wait really mm hm oh it was filmed and eerie.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, I love that show, Okay, but yeah, this
Speaker 2: show is very similar and it's really good. It is
Speaker 2: kind of heavy, so like I would recommend like maybe
Speaker 2: watching like one episode at a time, but like it
Speaker 2: if you're looking for a good time to start. Like
Speaker 2: last night's episode was crazy. Weekly episodes, Yeah, weekly episodes.
Speaker 2: Every Sunday you met, Yeah, and I met I met
Speaker 2: the stars Mark and tom So.

Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 2: He's really sweet and he loves Philly.
Speaker 1: Did they film it? Did they come from?
Speaker 2: He connected here? A lot of it was filmed in Delco,
Speaker 2: which is like where the show takes place in Delco.
Speaker 2: And it's just like you'll just like anyone who lives
Speaker 2: in Philly will just enjoy it because all they talk
Speaker 2: about is like locations, but they're like cops and FBI,
Speaker 2: so they're like, oh, he was spot in Ridley or
