Speaker 1: Welcome to the I'm Still Fun Podcast. Hello Jenny, how
Speaker 1: are you? What's Poppin'?
Speaker 2: What's poppin Is? I feel like just one big bloated
Speaker 2: balloon right now because I went to Wisconsin this weekend
Speaker 2: and it's just non stop eating. It's unhealthy. It's it's cheese.
Speaker 2: If you don't have cheese, and every single meal and
Speaker 2: every single snack you have, you aren't like, yeah, I
Speaker 2: get out, you know, on a true Wisconsin night or whatever.
Speaker 2: So I feel like kind of garbage today. But outside
Speaker 2: of that, I got to go see my family, which
Speaker 2: I realized I haven't been home since like April, so
Speaker 2: I seek My niece and nephew did come one time
Speaker 2: over the summer while my brother in law was in town,
Speaker 2: and so I watched them for like a day, got
Speaker 2: to hang out with them. But yeah, I haven't seen
Speaker 2: any of the fam for a very long time, and
Speaker 2: it was good to catch up with everyone. That's nice.
Speaker 2: I think I've probably expressed before how my dad is
Speaker 2: retired and I get nervous for him because he doesn't
Speaker 2: have a lot of like friends. He's single and have
Speaker 2: really any hobbies. And it was just like so cute
Speaker 2: because he got involved in this kind of golf group
Speaker 2: where like a guy sends out an email like, Hey,
Speaker 2: we're going to go here on this date, show up
Speaker 2: if you can, and so like twice a month now
Speaker 2: for the last few months, he's been going and meeting
Speaker 2: up with all these guys and it was someone he
Speaker 2: had gone to high school with but not wasn't friends
Speaker 2: with them. And it's just funny because I like, look,
Speaker 2: he showed they get a group picture every time, so
Speaker 2: he showed me all the group kyotos. Yeah, and then
Speaker 2: he had bought an electric bike around Christmas time last year,
Speaker 2: and multiple times I was like, Dad, you get that
Speaker 2: bike out. You get that bike out yet, and he
Speaker 2: hadn't gotten it out. And now he told me that
Speaker 2: I don't know how long he's been doing it, but
Speaker 2: he rides it like every day. He just goes for
Speaker 2: a couple miles and he goes out and rides it.
Speaker 2: And it just made me really happy because I just,
Speaker 2: like I said, I get nervous for him if he's
Speaker 2: just sitting around and watching TV, which is like what
Speaker 2: he loves to do. But it's not great once you're
Speaker 2: retired and you just don't have anything like exercising in
Speaker 2: your brain or getting you outside and stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, Oh for sure.
Speaker 2: So that was nice to see. But yeah, just a
Speaker 2: lot of family time this weekend. And now I'm like,
Speaker 2: I gotta like eat veggies for the rest of the week.
Speaker 2: Oh too.
Speaker 1: Well, I've been spiraling for like a full month. I'm like,
Speaker 1: all the any poundage I lost, it's just gonna come back.
Speaker 1: I like, I gotta get things under control. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: went to rid Cow last weekend and this weekend like, yeah,
Speaker 1: out of control is so good?
Speaker 2: Would you do this weekend? I haven't really talked to
Speaker 2: you since last week.
Speaker 1: Well Friday to do? I think we mentioned on the
Speaker 1: podcast last week. I did the BBL moxie thing like
Speaker 1: the laser, which I was like, why did they name
Speaker 1: it BBL even and they were like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: well it's broad band lasers stand for I butt lift
Speaker 1: existed before this thing did. I'm like, why would they
Speaker 1: name it that? So I did that? Uh And it
Speaker 1: was funny because we were doing we had like a
Speaker 1: local influencer come in and he was like, can you
Speaker 1: send some photos like a reactionary. I was like, great,
Speaker 1: I look like a verely sunburned person, and so I
Speaker 1: was like, just prepared. He's like, all right, So I
Speaker 1: sent those over and then but it felt like I
Speaker 1: had been like a severe sunburn, honestly, and very hot
Speaker 1: feeling for about two hours. Then that one away. My
Speaker 1: face was pretty red and now it feels like sandpaper.
Speaker 1: And they said that's normal to feel like sandpaper for
Speaker 1: like seven or eight days.
Speaker 2: So shit, yours face does not look like how I
Speaker 2: feel like mine does when I get it, And like,
Speaker 2: I know you said you put some makeup on today,
Speaker 2: but it doesn't look like sandpaper textuory.
Speaker 1: Right now, but it is. Yeah, yeah, if you got closer,
Speaker 1: you'd see it, but so make settle up all a second.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I I did that Friday, and then
Speaker 1: we went and saw The Wild Robot, which is one
Speaker 1: of the best animated films I have seen.
Speaker 2: Because I saw you post how you were like, what,
Speaker 2: how did I not know about this?
Speaker 1: And now I'm retrue one no one talked about this movie,
Speaker 1: I guess. First of all, it's based on like a
Speaker 1: series of children's books, and every person out there DMed
Speaker 1: me and said, read the books with all of when
Speaker 1: she's a little older. They're so lovely and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: we were just Jacob like loves going to the movies
Speaker 1: even more than me, and he's like, I wish there
Speaker 1: was a good movie out. Will you look at I
Speaker 1: said yeah, And then I was like The Wild Robots.
Speaker 1: I could tell it was like an animated film, and
Speaker 1: I went and looked at reviews and it was like
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent Rotten Tomatoes. The reviews were like best
Speaker 1: animated movies since Up and I was like, Oh, how
Speaker 1: have I never heard of this? So the lead is
Speaker 1: a robot. Her name's Roz and she's Lupita Nango. There's
Speaker 1: a fox that's Pedro Pascal. There's a possum which is
Speaker 1: Catherine her Harrye. So it's like really well known people.
Speaker 1: But the gist is there are these task robots, and
Speaker 1: you know humans are using them to like help with tasks,
Speaker 1: so you have more time for productivity instead of like
Speaker 1: doing the mundane things that the robots can help with,
Speaker 1: but that you don't really get into that a ton
Speaker 1: that's just kind of what the robots are for. For
Speaker 1: some reason, a handful of them crash onto an island
Speaker 1: and this one rose she's like looking for a task
Speaker 1: who who ordered me, where's my task? And she ends
Speaker 1: up basically getting a baby gosling, and they're like, your
Speaker 1: task is to feed it, help it learn to swim,
Speaker 1: help it learn to fly. So she's like, I have
Speaker 1: my task, and so she becomes she's a robompa. She
Speaker 1: like becomes this baby bird's mom, and it's like, and
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know, it's so sweet and pure
Speaker 1: and lovely, and I was like all of it and I
Speaker 1: both are crying multiple times throughout the film. It was
Speaker 1: really good, but ten out of ten recommend that. And
Speaker 1: then I've been listening to a book on like creativity,
Speaker 1: so I finished that up this weekend. I was painting
Speaker 1: a lot. So every year around this time, I start
Speaker 1: doing Christmas trees and a man, I am in a funk.
Speaker 1: I am not I don't like anything I'm doing. I
Speaker 1: don't like it. It's not bringing me joy. And I
Speaker 1: think that this book came into my life at the
Speaker 1: right time because it's so it's the woman who wrote Eat, Pray, Love,
Speaker 1: and it's called and if you're a creative person, I
Speaker 1: really would suggest it. It's called Big Magic, and she
Speaker 1: basically goes through how like she doesn't understand why people
Speaker 1: like quit their jobs and put all the pressure on
Speaker 1: their passion, like their creative passion, because then if it
Speaker 1: doesn't pan out, you can't pay the bills. You like
Speaker 1: hate it, you like almost like block yourself from being
Speaker 1: able to be creative because of the pressure put on it.
Speaker 1: And she's like, she said that she had like four
Speaker 1: published best selling books and still had her full time job,
Speaker 1: and only when she did Eat Prey Love, which spent
Speaker 1: like three years on the bestseller list, did she finally
Speaker 1: quit her actual job. But she was like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was kind of and was like she gave all
Speaker 1: these anecdotes of why, like it shouldn't be like people
Speaker 1: always say, if you aren't suffering, you aren't creating art.
Speaker 1: She's like, your art really shouldn't be like suffrage, Like
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be miserable, you shouldn't be and it goes
Speaker 1: through all of these things, and I just thought, I
Speaker 1: am only putting this pressure on myself for these Christmas
Speaker 1: trees as almost like a because I feel like I
Speaker 1: want to sell them. That's not why I started doing art.
Speaker 1: That is not why I did it. And then I
Speaker 1: started feeling this pressure because people wanted to buy them,
Speaker 1: which was like the kindest, kindest compliment ever that anyone
Speaker 1: would want to buy something I created. But then I
Speaker 1: started shifting this thing that was joy into it was
Speaker 1: I was like forcing it. So I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to paint a single Christmas tree anymore this year.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go paint something I want to paint
Speaker 1: which has nothing to do with Christmas. And I painted
Speaker 1: a field and I loved it of flowers and I
Speaker 1: liked it, and I was like and it made me
Speaker 1: feel better. And then I was like, if I if
Speaker 1: I get the desire to pan a tray, I will,
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to go downstairs one time to
Speaker 1: paint a tree because I feel like I have to
Speaker 1: paint a tree.
Speaker 2: And that's like a great realization because I think that
Speaker 2: that's what a lot of people do struggle is they
Speaker 2: they see this hobby as something that they think can
Speaker 2: be turned into something lucrative, and then all the joy
Speaker 2: of that hobby is taken out. And so when you're
Speaker 2: being forced to do something that isn't where your creative
Speaker 2: mind is at that point, then you're gonna start to
Speaker 2: hate painting like you just said, and that painting you
Speaker 2: did that you posted over the weekend was beautiful. I've
Speaker 2: never I've truly like, and I'm not just saying this
Speaker 2: because i'm your friend. I've never seen a bad painting
Speaker 2: that you've done. O like mind, but like, I've always
Speaker 2: loved everything, and so I feel like you're your biggest critic.
Speaker 2: So you probably think your Christmas trees aren't as good
Speaker 2: as your other ones. But I've always thought when i've
Speaker 2: seen your Christmas stuff too, it's always great, but don't
Speaker 2: do it if it's not what you want to be doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I just thought it was like a really
Speaker 1: interesting book and there's so much more to it. And
Speaker 1: then I wrote down this thing, and I think, if
Speaker 1: you're a creative, I wanted to pass it along. So
Speaker 1: I our jobs are creative in radio, like we're creating
Speaker 1: in any creative field. You. I think you get into
Speaker 1: these blocks, these weird things. Really, I can't. You just
Speaker 1: feel like I can't think of anything creative. And I
Speaker 1: almost think, like all lean into painting almost in those
Speaker 1: moments and for some reason helps me be more creative.
Speaker 1: And she said, there's like a phrase for that, and
Speaker 1: it was Einstein. Actually talked about it, and it's called
Speaker 1: a combinatory combinatory play, okay, combinatory play. Sorry, And it's like,
Speaker 1: if you are an amazing you're amazing at drawing and
Speaker 1: you're just sucking lately, you go and you write, maybe
Speaker 1: you start writing. You're not good at writing, but the
Speaker 1: good news is all the pressure is off because you
Speaker 1: know you're not good. You're not trying to succeed at writing,
Speaker 1: but it's just this other creative outlet that like opens
Speaker 1: you up. And so I really liked that, and I
Speaker 1: so I think my stuestion Woudie is if you're in
Speaker 1: a creative funk, maybe try something totally different that you're
Speaker 1: actually not very good at that's creative, and maybe it'll
Speaker 1: open you up to something else. But there are all
Speaker 1: the I don't know. I just really liked the book.
Speaker 1: The first like fourth of it, I was like I
Speaker 1: wasn't getting into it, and then something shifted and I've
Speaker 1: still are really getting into it. So it's called Big
Speaker 1: Magic if you want to check it out. Ever, and
Speaker 1: it was short too. That's like another good thing.
Speaker 2: That's nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah. By Elizabeth Gilbert, who did Eat, Pray.
Speaker 2: Love Okay. Speaking of being creative. I've had this thought
Speaker 2: in my mind that, like I really want us to
Speaker 2: host some kind of like fun themed party sometimes. See. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So I was like, Okay, well the holidays are coming out,
Speaker 2: maybe we do like a holiday party. Like I'll be honest,
Speaker 2: I'm not a huge ugly sweater party kind of person, right,
Speaker 2: I find them uncomfortable most of the time. You're sweating
Speaker 2: if you're at a party with a lot of people
Speaker 2: at it. Whatever. But I was like, what would be fun,
Speaker 2: Like our December is before the holidays is decently open,
Speaker 2: maybe we could host something one weekend. And now I
Speaker 2: just remembered what my idea was of a theme I
Speaker 2: want to do, but maybe I just save it for
Speaker 2: a random like February weekend.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: It's just like go in your closet and wear whatever
Speaker 2: you want that you pretty much can't wear just anywhere.
Speaker 2: So like, maybe you have a big pon show that's
Speaker 2: like super colorful and ridiculous and you're not just going
Speaker 2: to wear that on a Saturday around town or into
Speaker 2: work or something.
Speaker 1: I haven't a cape, but I yea, it's like it's
Speaker 1: one of those snow things like Bell wears. And I
Speaker 1: was told Jake whin y'ar. I wanted it so badly.
Speaker 1: Haven't warned a single time, not a single time. And
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would wear it to a party though,
Speaker 1: because I feel like I would roast and die in it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, it might be pery. Well whatever if
Speaker 2: it's if it's too hot, then don't do it. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I just I remembered seeing that and it's not an
Speaker 2: original idea. I'm not going to take credit for it.
Speaker 2: I think I saw it on TikTok, but it was
Speaker 2: so funny and I was like, oh my gosh. I
Speaker 2: think of like that one outfit I wore one year
Speaker 2: for jingle Ball that's like a blue glitterary one piece.
Speaker 2: Never worn it since, probably wouldn't wear it because my
Speaker 2: thighs were chaffin and so there's holes in the areatic.
Speaker 1: Holes in your coach, which maybe it wouldn't make easy
Speaker 1: access off you and Andrew want to hook up at the party.
Speaker 1: More than that, you're just begging for a sneak peak.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like I don't know. I think
Speaker 2: that maybe some friend groups go through this, but I
Speaker 2: feel like there's been like a wave of my close girlfriends.
Speaker 2: We haven't been getting together a whole ton in the
Speaker 2: last year or two. And I I used to be
Speaker 2: the person who would coordinate a lot of things, and
Speaker 2: I'm I just haven't been lately.
Speaker 1: And let your entire friend group down, Jake. It's not
Speaker 1: just on your back.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's that. It's just that everyone gets
Speaker 2: so busy, and so I was trying to think of
Speaker 2: something fun to do, obviously not just like I would
Speaker 2: want it to be like kind of a fun party,
Speaker 2: so you would be invited as long as Jake's coming,
Speaker 2: becau does that mean well, because Andrew would want Jake there,
Speaker 2: and like without Jake, like I don't know, we might
Speaker 2: not have enough room.
Speaker 1: What does that eat? That doesn't make any sense? You
Speaker 1: gotta feel like it does. You gotta figure out your ankle,
Speaker 1: this big ass? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2: Fat ass? I know?
Speaker 1: Can I tell you? Uh so? And I almost said
Speaker 1: to you the other day, and thank god I didn't because
Speaker 1: you were with Andrew, a coworker of ours. You probably
Speaker 1: could do the math. They told me the other day
Speaker 1: they were like, man, you know how upsetting it is
Speaker 1: that Jenny had a hoe phase. And I didn't know
Speaker 1: her during that time, and I started laughing so hard,
Speaker 1: and I go, I don't know that you would have
Speaker 1: been Jenny's type. However, on maybe a random Saturday, if
Speaker 1: she had enough drinks, maybe she would have looked at
Speaker 1: you a little differently. He's like, what, what the hell
Speaker 1: does that mean? He's like, that's so rude. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: can you guess whom I'm talking about?
Speaker 2: I don't know because I don't. Okay, he come, They've
Speaker 2: got to be single right now? Right?
Speaker 1: Oh, he's always single and he talks about you.
Speaker 2: Definitely know. Just my head went to someone else who
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't think that person's single.
Speaker 1: But the one teaser is he comes online and cult
Speaker 1: show like once or twice a week from a different
Speaker 1: radio station. Yeah, and maybe last.
Speaker 2: Week him and I are kindred souls of sorts.
Speaker 1: I think we really are charismatic people, and you're open
Speaker 1: with your sexuality and it's funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me tell you. After Tina was on our
Speaker 2: episode last week, I was talking to Andrew, giving him
Speaker 2: all the deats and stuff because in the podcast sometimes
Speaker 2: but I was like, yeah, I gotta tell you everything,
Speaker 2: and he was talking to me about if he were
Speaker 2: to ever propose to me and how he would do it,
Speaker 2: and I said, oh, that's interesting. He goes, yeah, I
Speaker 2: just put the ring box down in my boxer so
Speaker 2: that when you'd go in for a blowjob, you'd find
Speaker 2: the ring. And I go, are you fucking serious? That
Speaker 2: is how you think you're gonna propose to me if
Speaker 2: we get engaged, because we don't really talk about marriage,
Speaker 2: proposal whatever. We're good with whatever. It is, like how
Speaker 2: we're at just dating. But I was like, seriously, I
Speaker 2: just look at him and he laughed so hart hearus so, yeah,
Speaker 2: he thought he was so And I was like, well,
Speaker 2: I guess I'm never getting engaged on because I'll never
Speaker 2: find joke, never find well, I guess, well, just forever
Speaker 2: be boyfriend and girlfriend, which, you know whatever.
Speaker 1: Massive pube so's have to grow around at like a
Speaker 1: forest grows around something.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I probably would never find the fucking ring even
Speaker 2: if I was done there because of the lack of
Speaker 2: maintenance there there is.
Speaker 1: I've said on the podcast before, Jake's severity from one
Speaker 1: extreme to the next is too much. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: a mild trim. You don't have to go from so
Speaker 1: aggressive to a naked mole rat. It is alarming. Both
Speaker 1: are alarming if I see either version of like, why yeah,
Speaker 1: get help.
Speaker 2: I fully, I feel like it's never naked mole rat
Speaker 2: because it's disturbing. Yeah, there is, like it's a bit
Speaker 2: of an in between, which honestly.
Speaker 1: Makes me wonder why some guys like such a naked
Speaker 1: vibe to a girl. Also because what like the way
Speaker 1: I feel about it with a guy, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be like overgrown and gross. But
Speaker 1: when I see it like completely, I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't need to see every angle of it. I know,
Speaker 1: leave some to the shadows.
Speaker 2: My guyus we when we were home this weekend, we
Speaker 2: brought our campra van. I wanted to show my family
Speaker 2: itt and we also like, it's a weird sleeping situation
Speaker 2: at my mom's right now because my sister lives there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and so we're like, we'll just sleep in the camper van.
Speaker 2: And so the first night on Friday, I did sleep
Speaker 2: out there with Andrew, but then my younger sister went
Speaker 2: down to Chicago on Saturday and stayed overnight, so I
Speaker 2: ended up sleeping in her bed Saturday night and then
Speaker 2: the Sunday morning, Andrew was like, oh, I thought you
Speaker 2: were gonna like come in and take advantage of me
Speaker 2: in the van like in the middle of and I
Speaker 2: was like, no, there was a reason I slept inside.
Speaker 2: It's fucking cold. Okay, it was pretty cold Friday night.
Speaker 2: I had a comfy, warm bed to sleep and like,
Speaker 2: we don't.
Speaker 1: Have a keen imagine laying there like waiting and side yeah.
Speaker 2: No, and then like we're I don't know if you
Speaker 2: and Jake ever do this, but like if he's downstairs
Speaker 2: and I'm upstairs, like he'll FaceTime me sometimes or I'll
Speaker 2: FaceTime him, and so like when he got up Sunday morning,
Speaker 2: he's facetiming me and I'm on the toilet. Of course,
Speaker 2: I was like, what's up, babe, Welcome, Welcome to my
Speaker 2: morning routine.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful.
Speaker 2: But anyways, I want to say that I'm actually working
Speaker 2: on like a whole new section on my website just
Speaker 2: to put up band life stuff. Let me tell you,
Speaker 2: I really thought I was making some progress and figuring
Speaker 2: out how to do it and do this part of
Speaker 2: the design, but it's just it's so complicated. But I
Speaker 2: spent hours doing it, and finally I was like, I
Speaker 2: got to reach back out to my website company because
Speaker 2: they're the best, and so I'm kind of working on that.
Speaker 2: In the next week, we're gonna have some stuff up
Speaker 2: about specifically van life, because right now the website mostly
Speaker 2: just has you know, like travel guides or tips or
Speaker 2: whatever it is.
Speaker 1: Oh, let me give you a tip that you didn't
Speaker 1: ask for, Jenny, what in the future you're gonna do
Speaker 1: fucking live Instagram stories talking about it? Might I suggest
Speaker 1: you get a microphone or something. Your van is loud,
Speaker 1: so loud. That was one of the most annoying videos ever.
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, gosh, okay, And I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: I hope that website company did not pay you for
Speaker 1: that story because it was so loud. I would have
Speaker 1: been like, give me a refund and buy a microphone
Speaker 1: you cheap.
Speaker 2: At no no, no, no, okay, So yeah up, our
Speaker 2: good old girl. She's a Diesel and so like she's
Speaker 2: very loud and seriously should be Yeah, honestly, like I don't.
Speaker 2: I think I don't know if it's illegal or not,
Speaker 2: so maybe I shouldn't admit doing this, but like I
Speaker 2: put headphones in to listen to podcasts sometimes when I'm driving,
Speaker 2: because it's so loud that I can barely hear the podcast.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're supposed to definitely have both ears
Speaker 1: in probably I only have one. I know, why are
Speaker 1: bulging at me right now? I have one that makes sense.
Speaker 2: But yes, it's very hard to hear podcasts. And I
Speaker 2: was so annoyed. And I even told you this that
Speaker 2: I started listening to our friend Carly Zucker's podcast and
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, the audio was so bad.
Speaker 1: It was not the audience spoiler spoil the van.
Speaker 2: Because then I went for a walk like a week later,
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, actually sounds fine. We'll headphones right now.
Speaker 1: When you told me that, I was like, that's so
Speaker 1: bizarre because they recorded it here at the radio station.
Speaker 1: I don't know why the audio would be bad, like
Speaker 1: it should be like the best possible audio. No, the
Speaker 1: surprise surprise was your van.
Speaker 2: Okay, the van. She's very very loud, and it is
Speaker 2: frustrating to try to listen to anything through the system.
Speaker 2: A lot of times music comes through okay, but podcasting
Speaker 2: it's like I have to like put my ear closer
Speaker 2: when I'm like, wait, would they say yeah and yeah.
Speaker 2: Andrew and I were listening to a couple of different
Speaker 2: podcasts on our drive back home, and one was fine,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you follow the Zach Bryan Breann
Speaker 2: and Chicken Fry Oh gosh.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was actually gonna, like even possibly bring it
Speaker 1: up on our podcast.
Speaker 2: I didn't know if you were following it because I've
Speaker 2: been obsessed with.
Speaker 1: It now Nearly's obsessed as Yeah, probably I do. So.
Speaker 1: Colt and I have talked about it on our show
Speaker 1: a lot, because I in the very beginning I had
Speaker 1: never and I mean when he first posted they broke Up,
Speaker 1: I was laughing at her name. I don't follow anything
Speaker 1: Dave Portnoy does. I'm very openly like I I'm sure
Speaker 1: maybe he's changed, but my first experience to him in
Speaker 1: barstool was so misogynistic. I thought it was despicable, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not gonna do any promotion follow
Speaker 1: like anything he does, because I thought it was really gross.
Speaker 1: But if you look at someone like Jimmy Kimmel, who
Speaker 1: did The Man Show, which very misogynistic, I think Jimmy's
Speaker 1: changed a lot. Yeah, So I'm always open to people
Speaker 1: making changes. I don't know that he has, but I
Speaker 1: did hear Colet said he's Oh, Brady chicken frye. You
Speaker 1: don't harbub. I was like no, He's like, oh, I
Speaker 1: love chicken fry He's like, she's the co host on
Speaker 1: Dave Portoy's podcast. I said, Okay, was she known for
Speaker 1: anything before that?
Speaker 2: Yes, So she did go to college. I think she
Speaker 2: got some fame on TikTok. Dropped out of college because
Speaker 2: she's I mean, she's a funny person. She's an entertaining
Speaker 2: person on her own.
Speaker 1: Gotcha.
Speaker 2: So she got a job with Barstool I believe is
Speaker 2: kind of how it transpired Gotcha because of her influence
Speaker 2: and stuff, and then just started doing podcasts. She has
Speaker 2: a podcast with this girl Grace, who she like grew
Speaker 2: up with. That's one of her best friends. I think
Speaker 2: they still do it. There's a lot of drama that
Speaker 2: is involved with that too. But that also was because
Speaker 2: of Zach Bryan mostly, I think. But yes, so she's
Speaker 2: been around, not super long time, but she's been. She
Speaker 2: became even more famous because of dating Zach Bryan, who's
Speaker 2: one of the biggest country artists.
Speaker 1: Right. So I came into the scene where he posts
Speaker 1: that they've broken up, and she's like blindsided, not blindsided
Speaker 1: seemingly by the breakup because I think she knew like
Speaker 1: they hadn't talking about but that he posted about it
Speaker 1: and didn't tell her. And then and so we've actually
Speaker 1: been like I don't know if you guys have on
Speaker 1: the morning show, but on the afternoon show we talk
Speaker 1: about it almost every day because there seems to be
Speaker 1: a daily update with it.
Speaker 2: We've only talked about it, I think like as of
Speaker 2: last Friday, and then I did listen to the full
Speaker 2: podcast that they did on Friday driving back to Wisconsin,
Speaker 2: and so we talked about it today a little bit.
Speaker 2: Have you heard the details from the podcast?
Speaker 1: So what we talked about on the show Friday is
Speaker 1: we talked about uh we read excerpts from the podcast
Speaker 1: where one of the biggest ones was just how he
Speaker 1: constantly ruined everything that brought her happiness or joyp So
Speaker 1: she goes to an award show. She's in a beautiful dress.
Speaker 1: She sends a picture. His initial re like, Oh, you
Speaker 1: look great. Then very quickly it changes I can't believe
Speaker 1: you're wearing that, like to be like basically along the
Speaker 1: lines of you need to be representing me also like
Speaker 1: being classier, just breaking her down, making sure it ruins
Speaker 1: her entire night. She's crying, she's upset. Then he unfollows her,
Speaker 1: which is so immature, and then he has the audacity
Speaker 1: to post the photo of her on his stories and like,
Speaker 1: look how beautiful she looks play like so his fans
Speaker 1: and people see like him being a supportive boyfriend, but
Speaker 1: he's just mentally effing with her all around. And that's
Speaker 1: just one example of the many ways he would ruin
Speaker 1: things for her, belittle her, unfollow her. Very immature, and
Speaker 1: I mean, we let's be honest, we already know he
Speaker 1: does very emotionally charge things when he drinks, especially, seems
Speaker 1: like that's not news. But people love to look the
Speaker 1: other way if they like someone's music, for sure.
Speaker 2: And that is like what I find to be so
Speaker 2: sad is I was just looking at the comments when
Speaker 2: the podcast clips on social media just started coming out,
Speaker 2: and everyone was like, oh my gosh, shut up, like
Speaker 2: you know you were after him because he was famous,
Speaker 2: and like this is what you get and blah bla
Speaker 2: blah blah, and I was like, this is so disgusting.
Speaker 2: She did not she did not go after him just
Speaker 2: because she was famous. Yeah, is that like alluring to
Speaker 2: someone sure of her status because she was a little
Speaker 2: bit of like an influencer herself. Sure, whatever, But like
Speaker 2: this man was awful to her and she didn't stick
Speaker 2: with him because he was famous.
Speaker 1: And also he was like love bombing her very early on,
Speaker 1: which is another thing that like narcissists do. So like
Speaker 1: he got a tattoo over like before they were like
Speaker 1: a week in, like stuff like that. That's what people do.
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh my god, Like this is unlike
Speaker 1: anything I've ever felt in my life. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: this person like they're obsessed with me in it and
Speaker 1: then they shift.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you're so confused as to why they
Speaker 2: shift because it's like you have on me.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, so I know that all those articles said
Speaker 2: kind of that stuff. Did you hear the story about
Speaker 2: like her singing last Night by Morgan Wallen at one
Speaker 2: point and what had happened? So she had woke up
Speaker 2: one morning and had like last night, we let the
Speaker 2: liquor talk stuck in her head. So she goes upstairs
Speaker 2: and she's singing that song and he like snapped and
Speaker 2: was like why the hell would you be singing another
Speaker 2: guy's song, and blah blah blah blah, and it blew
Speaker 2: into a fight that lasted like a week simply because
Speaker 2: she was singing a song that was stuck in her head.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: And then the worst one I think that I heard
Speaker 2: on the podcast and I know that there's just so
Speaker 2: much more she has was.
Speaker 1: What she said they were like your air and out everything.
Speaker 1: She's like, oh my god, She's like, not even a
Speaker 1: fourth of what And she's like, the reason I'm sharing
Speaker 1: it is because this shouldn't be normal, Like this should
Speaker 1: not be okay or normal, So I don't care. She
Speaker 1: got offered twelve million a house, a condo in New
Speaker 1: York to sign an NDA and she's like, hell no.
Speaker 2: Well, and also I think that like, had she wanted
Speaker 2: to any money, she could have got even more because
Speaker 2: it started off lower and kept getting higher, which proves
Speaker 2: that he did a bunch of fucked up shit. But no,
Speaker 2: the one that the one story and I won't get
Speaker 2: into all the details, was about at her birthday. Basically,
Speaker 2: he clearly had some kind of routine he'd get into
Speaker 2: where she could tell he was about to turn into
Speaker 2: an asshole. So at her birthday, they're all sitting around
Speaker 2: a fire, hanging out with her family and her friends.
Speaker 2: She can tell he's starting to turn. It's about to
Speaker 2: be midnight. Her birthday is like the next day. So
Speaker 2: at midnight, it's her birthday and she's like, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: just go to bed, like, Zach, you should come with me.
Speaker 2: She's trying to like diffuse a situation that's about to
Speaker 2: blow up. He doesn't come. She goes to bed. An
Speaker 2: hour and a half later, she hears like screaming and crying.
Speaker 2: She comes on stairs. All her friends are crying. He
Speaker 2: like called them worthless, pieces of nothing or something like that,
Speaker 2: like you're just like leaching on to Brianna and like
Speaker 2: all this crazy stuff and being just like awful to them.
Speaker 2: And then they were like some people were recording him,
Speaker 2: So he obviously was upset that he was getting recorded,
Speaker 2: but also he was acting like an asshole. And so
Speaker 2: then what he would do after that is, you know,
Speaker 2: she'd be falling asleep in his tour bus and he
Speaker 2: would come in whenever he wanted, and he'd start putting
Speaker 2: his phone in her face and start recording her and
Speaker 2: being like well, since your friends all want to record me,
Speaker 2: I can record you whenever I want if I want to,
Speaker 2: Like it is disgusting and even like you can think
Speaker 2: what you want about Dave Portnoy, I haven't done enough
Speaker 2: research about him to like and I know, like very
Speaker 2: misogynistic things around barstool. I think he has turned a
Speaker 2: corner quite a bit in coming years because he's getting
Speaker 2: older and he understands certain things. But like he was
Speaker 2: almost getting like teared up. You can see in like
Speaker 2: the video of them recording when she started telling that story.
Speaker 2: And then that was the point where she said, I
Speaker 2: just have so many more things that I could share,
Speaker 2: but she doesn't want to because she's embarrassed that it
Speaker 2: happened to her. And I get where she's coming from,
Speaker 2: because sometimes it's more worth your piece to keep certain
Speaker 2: things to yourself versus trying to put someone on blasts.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I've been pretty open with you about
Speaker 1: the relationship between my marriages. Yeah, and I want to
Speaker 1: be clear about that. It's neither person I've been married to.
Speaker 1: I dated someone in between who and I'd always just
Speaker 1: dated nice people and it was very much like this.
Speaker 1: It was crazy. I hid most of it. I had
Speaker 1: a different story to every different friend I talked to,
Speaker 1: like of like a version of the truth because I
Speaker 1: was like trying to cover up because I felt so
Speaker 1: embarrassed and stupid and I and I had the answer
Speaker 1: there the whole time. But yeah, once you finally get
Speaker 1: free of it, you're like, oh, yeah, this person was
Speaker 1: crazy and I wasn't like my it wasn't my fault
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I've also had like work relationships where
Speaker 1: I've like shared this like years and years ago, with
Speaker 1: like I stopped sharing anything good that would happen to
Speaker 1: me because it seemed to like anger the person I
Speaker 1: worked with. Yeah, like and I started like getting afraid
Speaker 1: to tell them, and I was like because like it
Speaker 1: seemed like they were mad that they didn't get something,
Speaker 1: so instead of being happy for me, and so I
Speaker 1: was like I stopped telling them. Then when they would
Speaker 1: find out from other people something like this thing that
Speaker 1: had happened, they'd be pissed that I hadn't told them,
Speaker 1: and they were like, how I look stupid because I
Speaker 1: didn't know this, And I'm like I just wanted to
Speaker 1: be like I just wanted to keep it for myself
Speaker 1: because I was like so afraid you would ruin it
Speaker 1: for me, and then they it was like I was
Speaker 1: keeping secrets and I'm like I was just trying to
Speaker 1: have any for like little bit of happiness in my
Speaker 1: life and it So I've experienced it on a couple
Speaker 1: of different levels. Like you can have that happen in relationships,
Speaker 1: you can have it work relationships, friendships, family. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: It'd be so much harder if it was like, because
Speaker 1: a lot of people deal with like their parents are
Speaker 1: like this, imagine that you can barely escape. I can't
Speaker 1: even imagine.
Speaker 2: I definitely cut out some friendships who they just were
Speaker 2: not in my corner when I was like happy about something,
Speaker 2: they made me feel like I was being like cocky
Speaker 2: or conceited. I've definitely cut those people out of my
Speaker 2: life because that is not a friendship whatsoever.
Speaker 1: You should be like almost hyping you than you're hyping yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so anyways, Zach Bryan is a big pos
Speaker 2: if you ask me, I know that there's always three
Speaker 2: sides to every story, yours, theirs, and the truth. I
Speaker 2: very much believe everything that Brionn chicken Fry is saying.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I believe I'm not just because she's a woman.
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
Speaker 1: Gave it all away by simply offering more and more
Speaker 1: and more and more money a house, Oh how about
Speaker 1: the house? And said how about this condo? How about this?
Speaker 1: That's that's hello? Yeah for sure, Like what did you
Speaker 1: not wanted to talk about?
Speaker 2: I know, and I've been I'm so happy that you're
Speaker 2: on page with us because of course, like the Morning
Speaker 2: show isn't as much, so I feel like I'm just
Speaker 2: like talking to myself and I'm so into it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm like, but I also know that a lot of
Speaker 2: people don't know who these people are, especially.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well most people know who's Zach Bryan is at
Speaker 1: this point, so there's that at least.
Speaker 2: Well, and I'm just pissed because it's like I don't
Speaker 2: want to support him whatsoever anymore. But I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: I probably use like his music and some kind of
Speaker 2: reels because you were like the was some of the
Speaker 2: biggest songs.
Speaker 1: I loved this song with Casey mess Graves, I remember
Speaker 1: everything or whatever. I love that. I think the Pink
Speaker 1: Skies is a really popular one.
Speaker 2: I love that song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has great music. A lot of like awful
Speaker 1: people are great, like creators are artistic people. And I
Speaker 1: mean you can give a ton of other musician examples too,
Speaker 1: and you're like wee in their music, but you kind
Speaker 1: of like eh, but what's more important? Probably?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So.
Speaker 1: If you have any thoughts or comments, you can email us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let us know Balan at KATYWB dot com or Jenny
Speaker 1: at katyewb dot com anything else before we roll out, Jenny.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pee right here in the Yeah, it just
Speaker 2: like hit me. I've been drinking coffee and water aggressively
Speaker 2: this morning, and it is like flowing through me today.
Speaker 1: Do you want to sit on the same toilet? Oh,
Speaker 1: and you choose you can straddle me or all straddling.
