Hello and welcome back to the podcast. We are back this week. And when I say we, I mean me and Brittany. Hey, everyone. She's back. I feel like it's been so long, but realistically, it's been like two weeks. You were unwell and now you are well. Now I am well.

Happy to have you back. We were well enough to go to Brittany's Bachelorette this past weekend. So we have lots to unpack there. Also, the Patreon bonus content this week, if you want to join us, is going to be us reviewing the red carpet for the actor awards, previously known as SAG After Awards. Apparently they changed it so that the title of the show matches what the award is because it's called the actor.

Yeah. I was unaware. This was news to me. Same. I was very confused though when I kept seeing posts this week about it. I was like, is this a new award? Yes. Same thing.

Another one. I think they rebranded to be more like the Oscars or the, Emmys. Yeah, probably. But yeah, so we'll be doing that on Patreon bonus content. I'm really looking forward to it because I saw a sneak peek of some of these looks and they're good. But let's catch up. We were on Britney's Bachelorette trip. Tell us about it. We went to the surprise of everyone, Orlando, Florida. Gasp. Everyone is shocked. It was very on brand for me. We went to Disney World. and we had an amazing time. I'm trying to think of where to start.

Oh, my gosh. Well, first we need to start with some drama because the airport. The airport. We were off to not the best start just getting to the Bachelorette, but once we were in the air, things were smooth. Smooth. Yeah, on the way in, Brittany's fiancé, Brian, offered to drive us to the airport. good man um it was it was pretty early in the morning it was it was fairly early yeah i mean it's like

6 a m that's yeah it's pretty early but you go to the airport and like rush hour traffic too yeah that was tough that was tough so we're going and we are like about to pull up to the airport and like right before we are arriving a cop starts yelling out the window at brian yeah it was the most it was the weirdest thing I go, Brian, I think that man wants to pull us over, but he was in front of us, though, so it was like a really weird scenario that none of us had ever been in. So we're like, what is he doing? Like, is he trying to tell us something? But I think he simply wanted us to slow down. But I also was like, we can't get in trouble, right? Because he's still in front of us. So like, he's got to be going faster than us to be in front of us. But he still is. So right, that did not

computed my brain until just now because he was in front of us. Yeah, we didn't even pass him faster in order to be, I don't know. So he puts on his hand, starts yelling out the window, like flicks his lights on and off. And we were like, oh, like we're in trouble. So then Brittany starts panicking. She's like, we're going to be pulled over. Like, we're going to be late. I'm like, no, we're not. Like, he's literally ahead of us. So anyways, then we get to the airport and we're about to check our bags. And this always bothers me. And maybe. we've talked about it maybe we haven't my brain doesn't work anymore so ignore if we've already talked but I swear it really grinds my ears when if you're checking two bags and one of them's overweight

and one's not and they want you to like physically move the items to the other bag yeah why doesn't if they're both going and you're paying for the checked back like why does it matter the weight is going to equal out the weight why do I physically need to move the items for like three pounds. And you know what's crazy? Some airlines do it the way one would think where you get in its spirit. It's spirit airlines. I don't typically fly them. But one time I was on a bachelor's trip coincidentally coming home from Mexico and we were we all had to rebook our flights. We were initially on Delta. That got canceled. We were all coming home on spirit. So we were all booked through one person. So they said, okay, you have 10 bags, you have a thousand pounds.

So they split it up however you need. So they would put one bag on, two bags on, and then they just kept racking up the weight. And we were under, there were definitely some bags that were over the 50 pounds or whatever it is. Yeah. Whatever the numbers were. And I was like, wow, that makes so much sense. And I get, what I've heard with like the bags is like, it's like because the workers, that are physically like but they still accept the bags even if they are heavy they just

tag them as heavy yeah or if you pay for it like okay you're fine if we pay for it and then it doesn't matter and like truthfully sometimes it is sometimes it's like obviously excessive and like yeah that would probably not be good for a worker but sometimes it's like two pounds or three pounds and you're like no really here's what the problem was with the the gentleman that we encounter at curbside check-in. Your bag, one was like very close to the limit, like, and one was a little bit over. I think he was like five or six pounds over. Like, honestly, it wasn't ridiculous.

And considering she was bringing all the decorations, like all of the gift bags, like checked bag, large size of just decor and like stuff for the actual bacheloret, which was empty on the way home, which was nice. Yes, but yes, but she was out here being a stand-up, great matron of honor. And here's the thing. The guy goes, well, it's X amount of dollars. You have to pay extra and you were like, okay, I'll pay it. Like you were like, you were just, and he was like, no, we will move things out of this bag.

That's what always like really grinds my ears as if I say like, okay, I'll just pay it. Like if we're running. This has happened a couple times to me. We're like, we're running late. don't have time to move stuff. I know that no matter what, okay, I'm going to move stuff over, then I'm going to zip it all back up and put it up there. And then they're going to say, oh, no, it's this many or this many.

Like, we don't have time for that. So I'm just like, it's no problem. I'll just pay the thing. Like, it's not a big deal. And then he just starts yelling at me. Like, no. Open them up and move this stuff. And I'm like, all right.

And then he was telling us, he was like, if you just move your lotion over, it's going to even out. And we're like, no, I think he felt bad after he made me, like, go through all the work of opening everything up. Because I kept saying to him, like, no, sir, like, really, they're both full. And I'm not going to be able to move anything from one to the other. So, and he's, so I open them up after he starts yelling at me. And I'm like, yeah, I'm just like looking at them on the ground. I'm like, yeah, nothing's going to get moved here.

And he's like, just move the lotion then. And like, basically, like, if I did that, he would call it good. And I'm like, okay. So you just made me waste all this time to move a lotion. It was so ridiculous. Yeah. So ridiculous. And then, and this happened on the way home too.

And then he was like, I just saved you $100. So which it's still $35 to like pay for the check bag. So, okay, I'll give you $65. You saved me. But then he starts yelling at me. He's like, you better tip me good for this. And I'm just like. And he said it a couple of times.

And it was just uncalled for. And like I feel like my family has used curbside check-in for so long. Like for as long as I can remember. And like as long as I can remember, it's typically I've had like really good experiences. But on the way to Orlando and back from Orlando, both of these guys, it was like they were trained by the same trainer because they both came at us. Because on the way there, it was you. And then on the way home, it was me.

My bag was weird. really over overweight but then I did it wasn't my fault that my bag was so overweight I was blessed with great friends who bought me gifts from my bachelorette bought me gifts on the bachelorette so like i acquired stuff and a lot of like the decor that you had gotten me i was like i can't part with this like i want my banner no and i was fully like i refused to take anything else back because the way there my stuff was so bad and it was still close and it was still I know and I was still which I kept thinking in my head I'm like how did I lose all this stuff but it's still like about to be overweight I couldn't understand but like my bag and like when he said the the weight because it was actually bad

it was like 16 pounds over which is a criminal um I was like I'll just pay sir I will just pay and it was the same thing he was like no you must start yelling at us about moving stuff into your carry on it My carry-ons were both. Well, also, like, we kept telling him with the amount that I had left, which I think I had, like, two pounds to spare. Oh, yeah, because he was, like, put in your bag. And the amount that you had, which was, like, 16 pounds, he's, like, put it in her stuff. And I'm like, sir, if she moves two pounds, if she moves anything more than that, mine's going to be overweight, then now you've got two overweight bags. He's like, let us keep it.

I just don't get why they do that. And I also don't get why they, like, yell at you about it. And then when they don't make you pay it, they act like they're doing you a favor. And like from the beginning, I said I would have just paid it. So like, you know, like whatever. In my mind, Girl Math, it was gone. Yeah.

And now you want me to tip you all that money. So really, did I save anything? I don't know. And here's a thing. We're going to tip you either way. And you yelling at me is not going to increase the tip that I was already planning to give by using this service. I finally, if anything, I'm going to give you less because you just pissing.

me officer yeah yelling at us yeah don't yell us and then the I swear on both occasions they were like never except like paying for the hundred things like oh yeah basically telling us to always negotiate and argue with them and we're like okay I don't want to deal with all of that so yeah but then we went through security and the security guy was messing with you he I was not in the state of mind to be mess with and here's the thing I'm already like a tough cookie when it comes to being messed with Because sometimes I just truly don't understand when people are joking with me, especially like when it's coming from like an authoritative figure. I will just take their word for it.

So he was like, okay, we're going to have to swap your hands. And I said, okay, that's fine. And like I had a choice in the matter and he's like, have you been? And Lenny was like asking me like every single word or thing like that you shouldn't say in an airport was coming out of his mouth. Like, have you been doing that stuff at home? Like making, yeah, making bad things and like dealing with bad chemicals and whatever and like saying all these words.

And I was like, no, sir. And then he was like giggling like as if it was a joke. And I should like in what situation am I supposed to joke back with you about doing any of those things? Like you are a person of authority and we are going through this a little bit of a serious thing. And then really, how would you know he was joking? Like that's literally his job. Correct. And then Sophie was like our friend who was traveling with us.

She was a little bit ahead of me and she was like, oh, are you coming? And I was like, oh, my hands and, um. He said he's going to pat you down too. Oh, now I'll have to pat both of you down. And I said, okay, sir, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I could say that. And he was like, I'm just joking. Yeah, he's like, I'm just joking.

But like, how could I know that when like that could have been something that they were going to do? Because I mean, I feel like they just Sometimes they really do that stuff Yeah We talked about, I mean, I talked about like when we went to Mexico And they did that, I know it's a little different Because it's international, but either way Your TSA person was mean too

Oh yeah, and then my TSA person was yelling at me Because I didn't put the thing How he thinks, he's like, that was just stupid Why didn't you put the bag in there for, I don't know Like he was just yelling at me about the order of operations That I took and I'm like either way it got up there Is that all right? Or do I need to redo it? Like, I don't know.

It was just like one of those things It was one of those warnings. We were already just combulated because the police, the other guy checking our bags, then the security. My freaking sweatpants. Oh, I thought you were going to say something else because something else did happen. Something else that happened. This is like a minor silly thing. I wanted to make an airport outfit literally like the night before we were leaving.

So I'm like, I'm an iron on my new last name onto these sweatpants and bride onto the sweatshirt and two of the letters of like the five letter last name. were hanging off, hanging by. One was just straight sticking out of your butt crack. I'm sorry. And I was like, you have to pull that off right now before we walk any further. But I swear, like, okay, as much as I love crafting and, you know, I'm like the queen of the cricket, I really try to do stuff. I swear, though, like, I never fully understand when people, like, sell their stuff online or anything like that. Because I can do it and I will, like, take my time and I do all the steps and I do everything right.

but then like the designs randomly do come off and I'm like I don't know how I could have done this better to prevent this correct so how do people actually like make it work out in the end and like know that they're sending a quality thing in theory it was very cute but went badly and then as we were about to start boarding Brittany refreshes her app and we were supposed to sit next to each other and they changed her seat so we were no longer together so like The three of us all wanted to go on the same flight. Mostly me and like Britt wanted to sit by each other. Yeah. Yeah, it's your bachelor. Like, I'll go on this flight with you. Yeah. And we'll sit by each other.

And then they like last second changed it. And when we got on, I realized it was like a mom and a daughter. But to be honest, the daughter was older. She was like a teenager. Right. So it wasn't like a young kid in a mom. But I feel that they went to the gate like right before boarding and asked to be moved by each other. And our seats weren't linked to each other.

Our seats weren't linked. on the same reservations so they moved but like truly it was one thing after another and we're like this has to be the only stuff that goes wrong because but then I got to my seat and and my screen was broken yeah so like I was really not happy with Delta whatsoever in that moment um that was a little tough for me and also there was like a slight moment when my seat got moved far I was like oh my gosh is this my time that like I got upgraded to like first class or like something crazy no I was literally like I went they moved you back they moved me like I was like the second to last row on the plane which is fine like I've elected to sit in that spot before but like the principle of the matter was I wanted to sit by my friend well we were talking about this actually on the drive there and maybe we jinxed ourselves because our friend Sophie who was traveling with us was saying like for her honeymoon they did this to her and like when you pay for certain seats even in the back like main cabin you can pay like i think thirty dollars more and to select your seat and that's what we did yeah it's like if somebody's

paying to select their seat how can you move their seat after the fact yeah and same thing happened to her with her honeymoon and she's been like arguing with delta for months about it and we were talking about that on the drive to the airport and then it happened to brittany and i was like oh my gosh you should at least get the money back that you paid to select your seat because you didn't get to select your seat. To get a separate from basic to Maine. Yeah. I could have paid less, but I didn't. So I swear, like with the traveling stuff now, they make it so complicated and just like, I don't know.

Is that a control right now? Yeah. Traveling really is a hassle because we were joking like when we came back. We're like, should we go back this weekend? And truthfully, the only reason I wouldn't. is because the actual process of traveling was not fun not fun like they just made it a hassle but once we got there you guys it was fun we had so much fun um we had such a great the resort that we stayed at incredible the evermore we stayed at we stayed there we stayed in a flat they have air like they don't i keep calling it like air bambes but they have houses and flats in an actual hotel and everybody that i've talked to that like wasn't on the trip like it literally looked like you were in a flat they have like Aruba or like somewhere super tropical. It's really cool.

I've never been somewhere and I don't know if there is any other places like this where they have like their own manmade lagoon that is kind of like a beach. Yeah. It was all sand. And it looks legit. And it was, I mean, it was really cool. They had kayaks out there, paddivards. We didn't participate in that.

And that was something else too. Like there was actual like motor like boats that you could take out on. the lagoon that's how big it was but it was also like the pool um it was really cool and honestly for being connected to Disney in a way like I did not feel like it was there were kids and stuff but like it wasn't overpowering like it was a definitely adults and kids situation yeah it was really nice it wasn't a super crowded resort either like I like we had space like I don't know it was great and we had an amazing time we hung out there we drank around the world the next day which that was your first time back at disney as an adult clearly i've been there many times um and i'd like to think you

were a little bit impressed with what disney had no i had fun but i was saying that i truly don't know if i would go there with like elliott or future children without you or like making you give me an itinerary because there's so much to do. I don't remember being, I've seen when you're little, you just think like, oh, Disney is Disney and you show up and like you're at Disney.

Yeah. But like now I'm like, okay, there's Magic Kingdom, there's Epcot, there's this, there's that. Like, there's so many different things. Yeah. In my child mind,

I didn't realize that. And now as an adult, I wouldn't even know where to begin because even with just drinking around the world, I was like, what? There's more, like, there's more things to see.

Yeah. I mean, obviously that was after, Like, I don't know. A couple cocktails. Six different countries or whatever. But it was so much fun. Like, it was fun. I'm glad, like, we did that too.

And I think that was one of the conversations we were having is for a bachelorette. It's cool to do something that you would probably not do on your own. Right. And, like, who of us, all of us will probably go there with children one day and, like, go back with that. But, like, who's going to go there with just adults to, like, have fun as adults? Only me probably. Yes. Well, in this situation, it was perfect to do.

Yes, it was. A lot of bacheloretts is cool. Like, even mine, like, we went to Florida and that was so much fun. But at any point, like, I might say, like, let's do a trip to Florida. Or, you know what I mean? Like, it's something that you would just probably do again. But this, like, probably no one's going to do that again with just adults. Like.

No, they won't. And it made my heart so happy to, like, I was crying when we were getting in the Uber's. Like, it had a. had a mimosa lick of alcohol yet and I was crying I was like it's just like crazy to have like all of my best friends in like a place that like I love so much I'm not going to get emotional right now because like I easily could um but it's just like such an amazing thing it was so fun it was so much fun I think in general though it's funny too because you kept saying like I've been on so many bachelors and I feel like I know even though it's my bachelor's at you're like I just feel like I just feel like

I'm here for someone else. Like there's no way that everyone's here for me. Yes. And I feel like that's kind of how I felt on mine too. Was it? Like you feel like this weird like, oh, I'm the one that has to entertain everyone. Yeah. When like realistically when you go on Batcharad, you just like there.

Yeah, you're just, you're not thinking about it. But when you like, really, like, oh my God, I'm responsible for everyone being here. And like, I know. It's a little nerve-wracking. It kind of is, but you did a good job. And I think everybody had fun. And it was such a cool idea. And just in general, I know we make a,

fun of like said you're a Disney adult but it is cool it is cool that you knew everything and like knew where to go and knew what to do I made everybody passports to drink around the world very I had the suggested drinks yeah I again I don't think I would ever do that like without this being the situation right so I think that's cool because even when like people go go back with their kids like you're not necessarily going to like drink around the world you'll like go around the room but your kids maybe have a cocktail or two, like, oh, I remember this one from Brittany's back. Yeah, literally.

It's just different. It was so fun. It was a lot of fun. Overall, great weekend. We had fun celebrating. Right. Thanks. I was so happy.

I was very alarmed, though. Somehow we drunkenly didn't ever get DoorDash, and I was thinking about that after. It feels wrong. We didn't order any food to the flat, which was, like, very weird for us. Normally we're all about that, but I'm going to be honest. We had a lot of good food, though, like just in general.

We did. We had a lot of good meals. Yeah, like, we went to one place and we were all, like, thinking it was just for show. It was like the cake bake shop or whatever. Yeah. But no, like the food was so incredible. And I think that kept happening because also in my mind, I'm like, oh, Disney, it's going to be all, like, kids, like, yeah, chicken tenders. Which is part of it, but.

I mean, we opted for that when we had Joyce. but in some places. But normally we're like all getting back like drunk and hungry and like we were not doing that. And maybe it was for the better because getting into some things that happened this past week. The McDonald's CEO. This is the craziest thing to me. Eat a burger on camera. And it was so bad.

Like it actually made everybody question like should we be eating this because he looked so. He looked like he was being held against his will. And did you watch it? Oh, yes. I've watched it. And it just felt so staged, so inauthentic. I was just like, I'm not convinced this man's ever ate McDonald's. Well, I think that's where people, like, there's a disconnect because, like, CEOs will randomly try to be, like, relatable.

And it's like, we know you're not eating McDonald's. No, they're eating, I don't know. Allegedly. They're eating the best food money can buy, I would think. Well, that was like when that audio got leaked sometime this past year. About the Campbell's soup. And allegedly, I think it was the CEO or someone in a position of authority was just like saying how like they would never eat the soup. Yeah.

And I'm like. It was kind of alarming. Yeah, like why? And it just made me a little weary of, um, I'm kind of. I'm kind of glad we didn't. I know. It does, even though I love McDonald's fries, but have you seen Burger King has rebuttled?

No. They had their CEO do a taste test of their Whopper, and let me tell you, they hit the nail, like, he took the biggest bite of that burger. Oh, he was, like, fully enjoying it. But, like, he also, like, I fully believe that, like, he enjoyed that bird. Like, he looked like a guy that, like,

could appreciate a good fast food burger. And it was just very genuine. and I'm like, and they said obviously nothing about McDonald's, nothing about, like, nothing really alluded to it. But everyone knew what was going. I'll have to show you after this because it was hilarious and so well-timed because they cranked that out. I love when, like, companies can crank something out so fast.

They're so on top of that. You have to be because if they, if it would have been any time after, it would have been, like, yeah. Like, if it would have happened like this weekend, like, I mean, I guess like a week is, like, an okay turn on, but, like, the quicker you can. do it the more people i feel like like i think people were saying like i haven't had mcda or burger king in forever like i'm i think i might get it now so good for them honestly same i know i feel like it was like when i was pregnant last no it was when they had um the chicken or the pickle fries that's the last

time i've had burger king it's been too long maybe maybe this will get us we'll get we need to not do that because now that's all we're going to think about no now i'm hungry um um But yeah, we need to get back to wedding-related activities really quickly, and I don't want to break your heart. No. But I fear we have to discuss that Tom Holland and Zendaya got married secretly. Yes, and here's a thing. If it was going to be anyone but me, I'm glad it's Zendaya.

She's a queen. So if it wasn't going to be me and Tom, I'm so happy for them. I'm sure you were his second choice. I'm sure. I know. I think he, like, maybe he got upset

when he found it, like, I was engaged. So he was like, screw it. I might as well. Yeah. Um,

I just also think it's so funny. I keep seeing comments of like, oh, so he's just Tom now. That's the, because Zendaya's just Zinza. Yeah. And apparently at some point

in an interview, he said he was going to like take her last name. Like, why would she take my last name? I would take her last name. And everyone's like, oh,

she doesn't have a last name. So he's just Tom now. But I thought that was crazy because, Because also they didn't say it or nobody around them. Well, it was La Roach, who we talked about, it's escaping me in the drama that happened. We thought he was retiring.

Okay. Was that it, though? Yeah, and that, like, yeah, that's why we talked about him before. I think that's the last time we talked about him on the podcast was he was saying he was retiring and Zendaya had, like, found out, I feel like, almost with everybody else and, like, called him up and was like, hey, I thought we talked about. these things together, I thought we made decisions together. And there was something with like a red carpet with the two of them where like he couldn't

sit with her and they normally do. It was like all of those things like that. That's what I'm kind of remembering. Well, he was the one who ended up telling everyone. I couldn't believe it. Obviously she told him. Yeah. Yeah.

To do it. And it was probably for the better because it's like now we don't have to like answer questions about it necessarily. It's kind of chic. the way it was done. And honestly, I feel like part of them, well, one thing I thought was, what if they just said that?

To get everyone off the trace. I mean, then they're going to do it. But then also I'm like, maybe that actually just does help like being like, we secretly got married and it's over with. So like stop following us around.

You're not going to find anything. Yeah, because it's already done. It's done. But I'm happy for them. I also didn't realize it. me think like besides obviously Aaron Rogers and his AI girlfriend or whatever wife. Who else has gotten like secretly married and like actually pulled it off? And I totally this slipped my mind, but Beyonce and Jay-Z like had a secret wedding.

See, that surprises me. I don't know why. Like that's just not. I feel like their wedding would have been like similar to like Selena Gomez's and like Benny Blanco's where just like everyone kind of. I think you're going to say like the royal wedding. I was going to be like, yes. I mean that too, but I mean, Selena and Benny, it was almost royal.

I feel like everyone just kind of like knew their wedding was happening that weekend. And everyone was like waiting for the content. But like people weren't like super invasive because like security measures had been taken. Like that's how I feel like I would have pictured Beyonce and Jay Z's wedding to be like similar. Same. But I guess they did it at their house. Oh, nice. So people just like didn't.

realize it was really going on at the time. But random and other celeb news, please tell me that you have seen Jim Carrey and how everyone's saying it's an impersonator then no, it's this

person on Lexus Stone who does like masks and impersonations and then no, it's really him, but he was cloned. But dude, I like I don't know what to believe. I'm feeling weird about it. like it's something what do they call it when like somebody looks like oh it's doppelganger no oh no um no

yeah i know what you're saying but like uncanny valley or whatever i don't know what that is no hold on now you're going to make me google it because i'm nervous yeah you have to google it because and i also didn't know that this impersonation thing was happening until today like i was just starting to see and i thought people were joking but this seems serious No, it's serious. And I'm worried about it because truthfully, I just feel like I used to love him and I just haven't heard about him in a long time. Really? And then I saw this and I'm like, oh my gosh, is he all right?

But Uncanny Valley is the thing. It's where humans, it's a feeling that humans experience when androids or CGI characters appear nearly but not quite human. like something's like off and you can't figure it out and you like have a weird feeling and you're like what is this yes and I think that's how everybody was feeling when they saw this yeah and also he was speaking French um in the acceptance thing or whatever because it was something it had to do with the award that he got yeah and apparently it went their whole phase first everyone's like oh my gosh he's been cloned he he always talked about the illuminati and that if he ever came back it wasn't going to be him it was going to be a clone of him and they like got rid of him so then everyone went on that train then

it was the it was impersonator they made a mask of him and like this is all a stunt for like an upcoming project but then that went away and apparently like his PR team and a bunch of people came out saying like no that was really him and like he learned french for like months to like get this speech right so now I'm like I don't know what to believe but I'm excited to see if he like what's coming out yeah what's next Because he kind of did, like, come back out of nowhere. I feel like people only do that, like, if they're promoting a new... Yeah, they're getting ready to, like, start promoting a new thing. But I guess we'll see.

And also just really quickly, I need to mention a celebrity in his own, right? Because we never got to talk about this. This happened a few weeks ago. And then we didn't do an episode. Punch the monkey. My gosh. He... I can't even...

If I think too hard about it... You cry? I cry. I can't think too hard about it. with his stuffy, just bringing it around. You guys have to have seen Punch the Monkey. If you haven't, you're living under a rock. And honestly, for the better, because it's very sad.

But basically, there's this little monkey punch. And he is in Japan at a zoo. His mother rejected him. And then the other monkeys rejected him. And basically, they couldn't find, like, anyone to take him in. So they gave him a stuffed animal because they didn't really know what to do with him because baby monkeys, like, that connection and so they gave him a stuffed animal and he got so attached to it he would drag it

around everywhere with him it's the sweetest thing in the world i can't even say it i'm gonna start crying and so he would drag it around everywhere with him and when the other monkeys were like mean and were bully him he would run over and like hide with his stuffed animal and like cuddle it and give it hugs and like i literally it rips my heart out yeah it was very sad apparently now they did find him like they're not called a pack. No I don't think they are. A group of monkeys that took him in. He has a family now.

Now he has a family taking care of him but it was really sad and like we never talked about it and it was living in my mind rent free and by the way if you Google punch the monkey they like parts of him like float around. It's cute. If you want to see that go ahead and do that. But on the topic of being. bullied you remember the glam bot guy that was like accused of bullying I couldn't believe he's back in action back in action already as if nothing happened no literally like we were like oh my gosh is he

gonna be gone I thought he was going to be gone for the entirety of this red carpet carpet like cycle and then maybe come back quietly into doing the glanbot but no they just gave it like what one award show and they said okay you're back at it yeah I think and maybe that might have been even like a personal choice. I don't know if they actually like made him. I think maybe he was just like give me a second. I don't want to deal with everyone. Yeah. Yeah. But anyways, he's back and on one of the glam bot videos, I thought this was so funny and so TikTok coded. On one of them, a random person just commented, I'm pregnant. And it was like the top comment. So then like everyone was like, what is going on? Okay, congratulations to this person. Like random person. And then like on the next

glam bot video everyone was commenting like i'm a random tic-tok user and i think it's going to be a girl and like just like all the comments are about this random person saying they were pregnant i love the comments of ticot when they bring us together into like a niche joke or i've seen this a lot where it's like somebody it was a it was a video that did not land on disney adult ticot but it should have of i believe the woman's name was Pam trying to use a Disney like soap dispenser and everyone's like Pam, it's eight in the morning. Like I can't do this. Like, oh, did you see it? No, but you just remind me of something I wanted to bring up about the Bachelorette trip and just in general like Disney and stuff. So you remember, so we went on like a little firework boat ride at Disney for. Oh my gosh. One of the

things. Yes. And I was very alarmed and I don't think we ever got into like why I was so focused on the alligator situation. Yeah. So while we were there, I, like, asked about, like, the alligators because we went on this boat in a lagoon. It was like a huge lagoon. And I was just like, oh, you're thinking, like, people probably, like, swim in here or something because it's a Disney thing. Anyways, you don't swim in there. And, but apparently it's not because of, like, the alligators. And I asked the boat driver, Caroline, sweet lady, I said, I was like, oh, what do you do?

Like, if you guys, if there is an alligator, like, do you, like, what do you do? And basically she was like, yeah, she didn't say they arrest it, but basically they arrest it and they move it. And I re-home it is what she told us. Whatever. They rehome it. But I was just like really focused. Like I could just picture us running into an alligator and like us having to have it surrounded until like they came and got it. Anyways, that was really in my mind.

And I couldn't get alligators out of my mind in general. And I remembered why. And I never told you this. The day we were leaving for the trip, a video popped up on my four you page. unprovoked of a guy a former employee talking about at one of the spots in Disney you basically go over a bridge and under the bridge is like a crocodile like alligator enclosure or whatever yes yes I know exactly it's an animal kingdom and their protocol is that if somebody falls in you drive away correct as fast as possible for years and that's because

basically like you are just good as gone because they're gonna tear you up and they're trying to limit the amount of they're limiting the amount of casualties by driving away so no one else tries like go in like if a baby falls or a kid falls like the parents don't try to like go in after them yeah and I it traumatized me and it was living in my mind rent free and I forgot to tell you that and I was also laughing and it reminded me because in all the comments when I opened it they were like I did not need to know this at 8 a.m. on a random Tuesday I did not ask this information. Well, here's the thing. Here's how you know that didn't show up on like Disney

TikTok because we've all known that. I have known that for longer than I care to remember that like that's protocol for the Gators at Kilimanjaro Safari. It's so alarming, but I also would never accept that as a parent. Like what parents can make? Oh yeah. Sorry, baby. None. None. No. So like I just kind of in my mind. And then I was getting pissed because I'm like, like why couldn't they throw a piece of meat on the other side and then like distract them like why couldn't that be protocol but like apparently that's not protocol anyways um yeah that was why i was so focused i'm glad you're getting disney tic-tok the alias the tvitcher your for it was before we had even left or like right no i think that video went fairly but i mean i saw it but like i guess

when i saw it i wasn't like as a lot because one i knew that information but two like i get disney videos every other that's half my free page yeah I wouldn't have thought like oh my friends are going to know a new fact today it was against my will and I wish I didn't know it and then I got down the rabbit hole too like in my mind not I wasn't Googling but just that in my head since like sharks are predators if you're in the water and like a shark sees you oh yeah you tried to talk about seek you out like that's my opinion I know it's not true multiple times I feel like throughout the I can't let it come. I was like, I don't know.

I can't let it go. And I know like people say like, oh, sharks aren't like that whatever shark week. And like they don't just go up to you for no reason or whatever. Fine. But in my head for whatever reason and maybe it was because of the information that I learned about the Disney thing, I, in my head, like, if an alligator or crocodiles in the water and you are in the water, it is going to find you. Like that is just my thought process on it. I can't explain it. this. It's just my thought presses on it. You know that like crocodiles and Algarers are like my number

two fear. Okay. Well, I'm right there with you. You know my number one. But like my number two fear is Algears Crocodiles because like also and I'm I feel like I've said this on the podcast before but like they're way in which like they will attack you is do you want to know? No I know. I know. I know. You know. Yeah, the death roll or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. They spin you the yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they put you under a rock and they come back for you. That's cruel and unusual. That's an evil. That's an evil thing to do.

You know what I mean? Why? Because you sit there and suffer? What if you're not fully passed out? You probably pass away quicker. And then like you're not alive and conscious that you're being ripped from the Wrapped apart? I don't know.

I hope that's not the way I go. Me too. Well, I'm just saying, I hope I never have to find out. Don't ever fall in at Disney because protocols they're leaving your ass. I mean, you're toast.

I love the Kilimanjaro Safari. I did a behind the seas. scenes tour of it. Of course you did. I did. It was very fun. Honestly, I think you would enjoy it. I touched a snake. The only time in my life I ever did.

Not interested. No, I was brave. Nice. Anyways, sorry about the tangent. Back to the glam bot at the actors awards. We were on the TikTok tangent about like that. But I also just needed to say this because we have not been keeping up with shows, I feel like.

And truthfully, I'm never going to like. these days it's just not going to happen for me i've watched three of the shows that are on this list really so i needed to say this actors awards but america's next sound out of documentary did you watch any of it watched almost all of it really okay so i watched like the first two episodes how many episodes were there i think a lot oh never mind i didn't almost watch the whole thing i think there was more than two i thought i think there was more than i watched like two and i know there was three episodes and i watched like two and i watched like two and i watched like two um But that's out.

I thought that was so wild. And I keep getting TikToks of this too, of basically like anything traumatic that happens to you, they would turn it into like a photo shoot. It's so funny. It's funny now and like crazy thinking. But like looking back, I did used to watch that.

No, I love that show. And it's crazy that it didn't leave more like of it like a scar and impact, a trauma on all of us that were watching it. But like I feel like, and like this is no excuse for them i feel like there was there's so many other shows that need this type of documentary done on them because america's tech next hot model was not the only people out here traumatizing it's contestant no i know and i actually think that there's starting

a new series coming out yeah of going through multiple different shows they need to because that's the most alarming part was it was the way they were actually was a little bit normalized, but it was not okay. Yeah, no. Well, that's what, like, everyone was also making fun of Tyra's response because she was kind of just like, at the time, this is what. It was so bad. And everyone was like, okay.

Like, no, we need to take a little bit of accountability. Are you sorry? Yeah. She did not say sorry once. But yeah, and then Love is blind has been out. Yeah, I tried watching that while I was packing. I don't even need to because I'm so caught up just from TikTok. Just from TikTok.

talk um there's a lot of characters supposedly the ceiling the ceiling ceiling ceiling the ceiling ceiling you guys no there are that's about it's about time for us to get out of here if I'm saying that um anyways this season but I also just needed to really quickly touch back with everyone and maybe somebody knows this and can comment but like it's in Ohio and I'm just confused because I thought like didn't we talk a long time ago how they were coming to Michigan yes I looked into this um so they put out casting notices for shoot i literally looked at all but it was like michigan nashville phoenix one other place and my understanding is they batch film like multiple seasons at once and i think those are the four that are up next so i think there is going to be a michigan one being filmed i don't

think it's been filmed yet they said they were looking in the metro district area and one i think that when it does happen, we will know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody that's on it. Yes. And secondly, I feel like we're going to know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody that sees people like out filming for the show. You know what I mean? Like once they're out of the pods. So I feel like we'll know once it's going on and I feel like it'll be soon. I feel like they film like around football season because like in the Ohio one, they kept referencing football in it and I go the only reason they're referencing this so much is because I feel like it's like top of their brain. Like, yeah, like it must be going on right now for them to bring him up.

I want to be like the house where like we come over and like have football, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, I feel like it's like top of right. Fresh in there right now. Yeah. Well, when that happens, you guys, we will have lots of shady stories to share. Oh my gosh. That will be so fun. But for now, let's get into this week's Shady Stories.

Starting with Shady Story number one. I tried to be shady or petty or something like that and failed. My parents are the worst boyfriend vetters. My mom knows that she raised two hoes in my brothers, and I think their only criteria right now is having heartbeat. So she likes all of my boyfriends because she wants grandbabies. My dad is the opposite. He doesn't like anyone that any of his children date.

My oldest brother's last girlfriend was too tall for him. My other brother's last girlfriend was blonde but shouldn't be, and my last boyfriend sits with his back to the door, whatever that means. Anyways, I was watching TikTok and someone said if you give your parents what they want, they'll realize they don't want that. And since I would like to give my mom grandchildren at some point, my dad became the target. I was having work done on my apartment and they'd offered a hotel stipend for a while while the work was being done. But instead, I decided to spend two weeks at my parents' house thinking my dad would remember that he wanted me to move out and had a countdown on the fridge to my college drop-off. So tell me why at the end of two weeks this man came into my childhood bedroom that still had glow in the dark stickers on the ceiling, is painted an obnoxious shade of pink, and has the same posters of celebrities I thought were hot when I was 18 that I've left up as an ode to a simpler time, with a check made out to my apartment complex to cover the cost of breaking my lease.

He was supposed to hate it and stop ruining boyfriends for me with his disapproval, not decide that he liked having me around. again. Also, please tell me where my feminism goes when daddy is willing to put me back on the payroll because I'm considering it. I don't even like living alone. That's, that's, you know, she has a good point. I thought that was so funny. I feel like that's such like a mom thing to do. Just be like, well, I just want grandbabies. So like, it's fine. Oh, it is. But then the dad being like, nope, not good enough. We're not going to deal with this. But it's funny to you to like hear that he's doing it with the guys. And also she thought like, okay, I'm going to go and remind him that like he really doesn't want me here.

Yep. And it's just bitter and I ask because he was like, yep, no, come back. Yep. Stay home. Just things, everything's great with you being here. Here's a check. But that's such a, I feel like that's such a family thing that happens because I feel like parents go through phases with their kids of like, obviously when they're young and like babies and kids, like you're so close. And then when they become teenagers, they, like, rebel and they want to do their own thing.

And, like, you're not that close anywhere. But then, like, when you get adults again and you, like, re-get close with your kids and you're like, wait, this person's cool. Like, I want to hang out with them. Just stay here. Yeah. Take her a little longer. I feel like this. I could end up being this way.

But I'll try my best not to. Anyways, that was Shady Story number one. Shaddy Story number two. My boyfriend got me a very thoughtful gift for Valentine's Day and even more so put a gift inside a card. that our three-year-old son colored and wrote on it. It was a signed picture of my ultimate favorite artist. I was so happy with it and then started to become suspicious if it was legit.

I went down a Google rabbit hole, but I'm still unsure. I did mention Jim that I was questioning it, and he looked very hurt and sad. I was just feeling protective that he may have gotten scammed or maybe that he could have requested a refund if it was fake. He said he did his research to confirm that it was real before buying it on eBay, but it was just so easy to still question it. I kind of dropped it after that, but I still wanted to know deep down.

Would you keep looking to it or act as if it was real and carry on? He was so excited about the gift, so I don't know if it's worth it to keep trying to find out. I love knowing things. So I fear I would stop at nothing. I know. I feel like it's such a, it's kind of. Kind of like a lose-lose though here. It is.

Because like if you do find out that it's not real, like you're not only going to disappoint yourself, but like him. Yeah. Ignorance is maybe bliss. He thinks he's like a really nice thing. And like if he finds out. And he's so proud of himself. Oh my gosh.

No. No. I know. Let's just put an end to it. It's like if you do find out, you can't say anything. So it's like not worth it. Right. I'd say don't.

Don't do it. Don't, don't, don't Google again. As hard as it will be. Find something else to investigate. Yeah. Something you keep your mind off of it. Shady story number three. Hey girls, all of this talk about toxic in-laws has me feeling like that's probably how my husband and family thinks about me.

I have been thoroughly spoiled my whole life as a very L.A. baby. My dad is in the entertainment industry, though one of those roles where you wouldn't know he existed unless he wasn't there, if that makes sense. and my mom was a catalog model who made it into a handful of music videos before she met my dad through that and became mom. Definitely not a Yolanda Hadid mom, but she raised us to be very conscious of health and such. I went to school and have a pretty successful career as a nutritional coach and a dietitian, with my primary client base being women in the industry who need to snap back either after babies or gaining weight for a role or trying to lose weight for a role.

I met my very sweet, very Midwest husband through my dad because they had an overlapping project several years ago. I do not go to his hometown often. They don't eat right and every time I go I gain at least 10 pounds. Usually we fly his parents out to California to spend time together. And his sister just had her third baby and I guess the weight isn't coming off. So my mother-in-law asked me if I would make her a diet plan when they came out for Christmas. I said I would be happy to and I gave her my rates at a 50% distance. count and told her what medical information I needed to make the correct meal plan for her.

This has become a thing in his family because apparently I should do it for free. And then it turns into, we never visit them, we haven't met the new baby. I hold my husband hostage in California because I'm spoiled and still on daddy's payroll. And my husband kind of just agreed with his family that I'm very spoiled and entitled and don't understand that not everyone else conforms to the LA lifestyle I've been in my whole life. I feel like Jessica Simpson in the newlyweds right now. Here's my thing on this. I could see both sides.

Like I feel like sometimes family, like especially in like those kind of jobs. Yeah. Does feel like okay. Like you can't just do it. Yeah. But then at the same time, like if you do it for one person and you're doing it for every person. Yeah. And like how, where does like the line?

Where do you draw the line? And then like that's going to be so awkward later on. So it's like it's still a nice thing to do. But it's like you can't do it for. everybody for free. Right. And then like if you were trying to do that, like, okay, now what? Your whole time is taken up by free work.

And then you can't actually do your actual job. So I feel like on this, I see both sides of it, but it's like, yeah, in general, you can't do that because like where do you draw the line then? But like, I just feel like they probably then in this situation are like not understanding of that. Like I could see that being like. They don't want to see the other. other side of it, I think is the thing, which is unfortunate. And it also just sounds like because

they're like two very different like lifestyles and like life's like they just don't get it. Yeah. And even I feel like even us we'd be like what like yeah like like an LA lifestyle. You're like living this glorious life and then like we're in Michigan being like you can't just give her a diet plan. I don't know. We would see. That would that would be us like toxicly. But yeah, I feel like that's just going to happen. Yeah. There's like a difference that is just... Yeah, it's like a cultural difference.

It's like a... I don't know what the word I'm looking for is. Yeah, there's a word for like Midwest Live versus like East Coast, West Coast. Yeah. Like, we just live... We talked about on the Patreon, like, got into a little bit like we don't understand the L.A. lifestyle. No, we don't. That was a good combo.

But anyways, yeah, speaking of Patreon, if you are going to join us on the bonus Patreon content. We will see you over there. If not, that is it for this week's episode. We'll see you guys the next one. Hi, everyone. Bye.
