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