Hello and welcome to the very first episode of the Just a Little Shady podcast. I'm your host, Haley Jade, here with my lovely co-host. I'm Brittany Edney. We are so excited to get started on this. We've definitely been talking about this and working on this for a while now, so we're ready to just jump right in. And I think with that, we want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, which is the double entendre in the name, Just a Little Shady. where I can share more about my life, talk about things I've never talked about, and just for you guys who've been with me for a long time, get to know me a little better and just new people get

to know me a little better. And on the other hand, we're also going to be doing some hot takes on current events and talking about what's going on in the world and giving our opinion. And we are going to have a segment that we want you guys to get involved with too so we'll talk about that a little bit more at the end but with that being said we are also going to use this time to get to know our co-host a little better and talk about how she ended up in this chair and how long we've been friends so absolutely how did I end up in this chair so I've known Haley for basically as long as I can remember but we met back in elementary school in second grade we sat next to each other in class and her and I were very similar in a sense that we were both very shy as kids and we were very focused on our school work and took

that way too seriously for second graders. But more importantly, we thoroughly enjoyed snack time. Still do. Still do. Still is the core of our friendship. Honestly. It really is and um we both had Cheez-Its for snacks at lunch and I really think that's how we first bonded and then from then on out I just remember being attached at the hip anywhere you were I was and wherever I was is that right is that the saying is that how it goes we were always together and was basically like I never saw my parents because I was at your house um our parents would like fight over custody between the two of us pretty much um be like no they can come over and sleep here tonight yes because we had sleepovers like on school nights like it was we were basically like sisters yeah it was all the time well

elementary school we were like always like traveling yeah we Yeah, it was all the time. Well, elementary school, we were like, always like traveling. Yeah, we really were. It was like, I don't know if I would say always, but it was always like something going on that I was like, Brittany needs to come to this. Brittany needs to come to that. So like, I remember going to Florida, California. I don't know where we went, but we went on a tour bus. You brought that back up. We did. I was talking to you about this the other day and I was like, do you remember back when, I feel like I vividly remember being in your kitchen and you were like, do you want to come on the tour bus? And I was like, casual, casual, normal conversations. And I was like, what's a tour bus? And somebody was with us and they were like, Haley Jade, like not everyone knows what a tour bus and somebody was with us and they were like Hayley Jade like not

everyone knows what a tour bus is and you're like what like honestly to you like that was I thought it was somewhat normal yeah like where was my dad's tour bus like took to work um no but I remember going on that and just all of our memories from being young were so cool and unique to look back at now but at the time felt so normal and like not like anything strange or different I mean because we didn't know any better we didn't know anything different that wasn't like the whole experience like obviously we were in a like normal public. Like we never like thought anything was like different or like, I don't know. We just had like so many normal experiences that when like something like that happened, I thought like, oh, everybody else does this too. Not realizing that

like, no, that's fricking weird. And like looking back on it, it's like so fun to look back. And like when we have these conversations like here, wherever, like thinking back as an adult, I'm like, wow, that's actually so surreal. And like those memories that like of me just thinking like those were normal things. Yeah. Now I look back and I'm like, holy crap. Like it was really cool. Yeah. And that's what like even my mom and I were talking about it before and I was like how did you just let me like traipse off to like California Florida she was like well because like I knew you were safe you were in good hands and too she was like you guys were experiencing things that like I could never give to you and like when we went to Disney and. That was so fun. I always like think about that time.

Like we, so we obviously we had to go, we went to Florida for, my dad was working on something and he was working the whole time, but he set up for us to do like the limo and take it to Disney. And we did like the princess tea party and he had like the dresses waiting for us. We were like both bell or whatever. So cute. tea party and he had like the dresses waiting for us we were like both bell or whatever so cute it was and and even then like at the time like we were so happy and like so excited but we didn't like get to appreciate that moment as much as now when we talk about it and think back on it we're

like oh my god that was just like we need to find pictures of that because I feel like we were like little twins yes I know we probably have so many funny pictures of us. Oh, I'm sure. Oh my gosh. I can wait. I can vividly remember one. Do you remember when we used to go to the Pistons games all the time? Yes. We loved the Pistons. I feel like your dad also loved the Pistons game and that's why we were there. We would all like, it was just something to do. Like, I mean, what else are we doing? So I remember going and I have pictures of like me you and our friend Tracy and um if we can find it we'll like insert it here but just like being so little and just like we love the little like noise makers eating hot dogs all the time there too like I vividly

remember that but yeah no we had a lot of good memories in elementary school and then once we got to middle school we kind of there was no drama no but you say that like there was drama there was no drama yeah no but there's no fun story like um I wish there was but there it was really just you became more social I think that's a good word for it. Yeah you were a little social butterfly and I still for some reason in my sixth grade head yeah really took school seriously. You were a good kid nothing wrong with that. You were a good kid too. I was yeah. You were just following all the rules and thinking that your GPA in middle school counted towards like getting into college or something. I feel like that's how seriously you took your grades.

Oh, I did. Because to be fair, like I believed anything adults said. Yeah. Like your permanent record, like that, that was just going to last like forever. Yeah. So like, I don't know. I mean, I definitely did take school way too seriously. And even high school was kind of the same situation for us. Like we would talk in school and we So like, I don't know. I mean, I definitely did take school way too seriously. And even high school was kind of the same situation for us. Like we would talk in school and we were like, we were always like friends, but not, we weren't hanging out outside of school anymore. Yeah. And I mean, yeah, I was still taking school way too seriously. And at that time I also didn't like drink or go to parties. Like I feel like normal, everyone was doing that, but like, I just didn't, I was so naive to all of it. Like

I remember going to a football game and this was like the first and last one I went to. I remember going and it was freezing cold outside. Everybody was just like jumping, screaming, having the time of their lives. And I'm like, am I missing something? Like, no. What happened? Like, did something exciting happen? And then like one of my friends came up to me and talked like right on my face.

And I was like, oh, my God, you're drinking. Absolutely appalled. Literally so appalled. It like hit me right in that moment. I was like, I've got to go I gotta go I thought that even being associated with like anyone there that was drinking like I was gonna get in trouble and that's what's so weird about like I never got in trouble growing up I also never did anything too but like I was so scared like I don't know I thought if I did anything wrong I was like a Like, I don't know. I thought if I did anything wrong, I was, like, a terrible human.

I don't know. And, like, not that those things are even wrong because, like, that's just what kids do in high school. But, like, I was just so, like, straight and. Straight and narrow. Yeah. Like, that was me. But once we got to college, we didn't go to the same college. But once we got to college and I was like sophomore year of college

I remember just being like okay like I have to make a change like I only have like a handful of friends there's nothing wrong with that like I still am close with my handful of friends that I was close with at that time but I was like I have to like start doing something different so that's when I joined the sorority. And then it was like the summer after that, I was still close with our one friend that we were talking about that was at the Pistons game though. That was crazy. Yeah. And so I was like, you know what? I'm going to give it a try again. Like she was still hanging out with you and like everybody from high school that like I knew and talked to in school, I just didn't hang out with so I came

back around and then I feel like after that it was just like so instant like I was close with everybody again and like it was like just nice and then after college when I came home I was like renting a place so we always had everyone at my place and then that's when me and you started getting close because I would come over and I would linger around. Yeah. I guess linger is actually probably the perfect word. Super appropriate. I still do it here. Like when we talk about in elementary school that we were always together, always had sleepovers, it's the same way today. Yeah, I know. Nothing. I mean, that's what's the best kind of friendships though like nothing changed like no as soon as we started hanging out again it was like we were right back where we left off

no time had passed yeah those are the best though yeah and that's kind of how you ended up here it is it is how I got to be in this chair today yeah and but we're also going to talk about over the last week was 4th of July and our weekly recap, which we want to do like every week when we come on. We were together for 4th of July and we have a very positive, good story. And then we'll give you the bad news after. Point at me like I'm the bad news. I'm the good news. You're the bad news. Okay. Good cop.'m the bad news you're the bad okay good cop let's hear

it what was the highlights so best part of fourth of July weekend was which this is crazy that we're even saying this like it is we're golf gals now we're golf gals and honestly I agree that was the most fun of the trip and Haley was Tiger Woods on the golf course. It was crazy. I swear, and I always hate when people are like, oh, no, I really, I suck at that. Like, I'm not good at that. And then, like, they're amazing. That was you. And you just, like, you despise them.

You're like, you, screw you. That was 100% me. It was. And I'm not ashamed, though. because I act I was the same way as you going into it I'm like I'm just out here with a golf glove and a dream and and I just drove the car around and I had the best day ever but I was why I mean I tried to like you know golf a little bit but you golfed the full 18 holes and you were doing really well I feel like that's like with everything in life though it's like when you're not thinking too hard or like trying too

hard you just do so much better yeah and that was like that for me like I've never played 18 holes ever like we've only ever played nine and I could count on one hand like how many times I've actually played so I genuinely was like oh I'm not that good right but then like it was just like the perfect scenario for me to just like have fun yeah just a bunch of girls and I think too because like even though everybody wasn't playing that good everybody was having so much fun we really were we were like I don't know if you're supposed to do this on a golf course but like blaring Nicki Minaj and just having the time of our lives on that golf course. Oh, yeah.

We were probably having too much fun. That's exactly it. That's the best part, though, because we were also having so much fun, but I was playing so good. And so I was like, as soon as we got back after that, I was like, best weekend, best Fourth of July weekend. Yeah. Not knowing that when I left the next day, I would be getting some phone calls and text messages about a little mishap at the lake house that I had just left. You know, I would like to say that the highest highs come with the lowest lows. Facts. And so we were at my family's lake house for the weekend and we had a little like sign up sheet for people to bring like breakfast, food, water, what have you.

And one of my friends texted me and was like, how do you feel about fireworks? And so I talked to my family and we're like, oh, we fireworks they're they're responsible kids because it was like three of them that were going to bring them and one of the nights they were setting them off and being very responsible like taking all the precautions and one of the fireworks malfunctioned it was like one of the last ones they were doing which was like we were having so much fun with it too like everyone was like chanting their the last ones they were doing, which was like, we were having so much fun with it too. Like everyone was like chanting their names. Like it was, it was hilarious until it wasn't. And one of the fireworks went in every direction, but up, it went towards the woods, towards the house, towards the bonfire, towards the boat, which I was on with my boyfriend and

he like tackled me and he was like get down and I was like what's going on because it all happened so fast it almost seemed like fireworks it was like those ones that start at the ground and then like go up in the air but he was clearly more alert aware than I was um so luckily nobody was hurt but I have been seeing this happen on multiple other TikToks. I don't know if it's just like because it happened and I've like been talking about it with people that's coming up in my feed, but I've seen like trucks being like set on fire, like really scary stuff.

And I know you had a crazy situation with fireworks too this weekend. Yeah, we were, we were literally just talking about it. Like after the situation happened that like we're just so over fireworks because like people get hurt animals get hurt like it's just all not the best situation but we were actually we were up north and we went across the street to like this convenience store that's on the corner and you have to cross like a 55 mile an hour road to get there and so we're coming back and we see like a car stopped and it's honking and then like we see a shadow of like a German Shepherd and the neighbor has a German Shepherd so we were like oh my god it's

the neighbor's dog so we start calling him and he starts coming to us, thankfully. But then coming the opposite way on the 55 mile an hour road is another car who obviously doesn't see like what's going on. So here's me not thinking, throwing my hand on the road, being like, stop, stop. And finally, this car slams on the brakes and stops. Thank God. I know. and finally this car slams on the brakes and stops thank god i know but and the whole night after like everybody was like you shouldn't have been doing that i'm like if it was my dog i would want you to do the same right thing to do i was real life tyra banks and life size seriously i don't know what i thought i was like i honestly i don't know but I was like this dog is not getting hit on my watch and it was all because the fireworks going off down by like where we were

and so he just like wandered away because he didn't know where to go he's scared yeah and I'm just like I'm so over them and we don't even bring our dogs up north anymore because they're so terrified and we've had instances where we've thought our dogs up north anymore because they're so terrified and we've had instances where we've thought and they've like escaped because they were so scared and it's just like not fun anymore I'm like I'm all for like the professional shows where like everybody's a safe enough distance away like if anything goes wrong like people are on standby like but when individuals are doing them it's's so stressful. I'm like, please, nothing go wrong. Please no animals escape.

Please. And like when you told me that story, I was like, I'm done. That was terrifying. Yeah, no. But you were telling me about the TikToks that you were seeing. And I was like, I'm just over it. And I also don't want to see any of these TikToks anymore either. But on a more happy note, we were also talking about TikTok because you showed me.

I'm obsessed with this trend. The best trend that I've probably seen in a while. It makes me so happy. It's for the new Minions movie. I think it's called like the rise of Gru and people are just gathering in like large groups putting on suits and then playing like I think it's one of the songs off the soundtrack and just going to the movies and treating it like it's like a red carpet experience like I don't know how this started but I know it's ending with theaters saying like no teenagers in suits here so now like like people at like

elderly homes like nursing homes are like you know what we're not teenagers we're gonna do this and they're getting all like dressed to the nines and going up showing out at the movie theater and enjoying this movie and I just think it's like the funniest thing like they're going up showing out at the movie theater and enjoying this movie and I just think it's like the funniest thing like they're going up escalators like making it a whole thing yeah the videos you showed me I was like wait I kind of love this and I kind of want to do it I would be so down I feel like it would only be funny, though, if we wore our boyfriend suits. Our six-foot boyfriends. Yeah.

And we're, like, just, like, having pants drag. Can you just imagine? No, it'll look like those, like, fancy suits people are wearing on red carpets now. Oh, my gosh, yes. That are, like, six sizes too large. We'll put, like, shoulder pads in and, like, make our shoulders super broad wait so i feel like if you guys want to see us wear suits to the movies and go see minions um go leave banana comments banana emoji comments yes absolutely because apparently that's what minions like they love the bananas i'm not a big minion girl but

now i am now we are i'm into it I want to wear the suit to the movie. So if you want to see it, go on any of our social medias, just a little shady podcast. We're on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and comment the banana emoji, and we will post a TikTok of us going and hopefully not getting kicked out. Fingers crossed. We'll go to a theater that we don't like frequent in like hopes that our like pictures aren't like up in the lobby like do not allow these people there's just us like and i will it's posted in the lobby i will lose it if we get kicked out if somebody comes up just excuse me but you gotta go i kind of want to see it anyways because didn't you say like it's doing like so well yeah i'm sure it's not all

because of the trend like i just want to oh i think it is the trend but i mean i'm sure it's a good movie too we'll see yeah those ones always do well yeah but also um speaking of doing well and watching stuff i started stranger things did? And I don't want to sound like too bandwagon but I'm obsessed. Are you really? Yeah. I tried watching it back when it first became super popular like season one and I was in my basement alone all the lights off watching like bad news. No it didn't get much past like the first 10 minutes or so because I was terrified and I've heard such good things about it, but haven't been able to pick it back up because I'm just scared to cat, I guess. No, when I, so I did the same thing as you.

I tried watching it alone at first and I was literally just too scared and I'm also not into sci-fi really but I was like you know what I'll give it one more try because it was trending like all over again when this last season came out so we started watching it and I am I'm actually not ashamed to say this I was gonna say it was a shame but i'm not i finished like i'm i'm basically caught up i'm not done with it and i won't give any spoilers but i'm almost caught up and i literally started like two weeks ago not even no way and they're like hour-long episodes no way. And I think sometimes longer. So I've definitely been. That's a little impressive.

Yeah, I've been getting through it real quick. But the acting is so good. And the cast is like predominantly little kids, isn't it? Like they were young when they started. Yeah. And that's actually what I was just going to bring up too, because I saw on TikTok this video saying that basically when you watch like scary movies or scary shows, like just as a viewer, your body like can't tell the difference between like watching something and actually going through something. And so like you process it and like it actually

thinks that happened to you because your brain doesn't know the difference yeah and when I started watching Stranger Things and I was like holy crap the acting is so good and then I was like wait so do you think like kids who have to act like that it like they think like their body process it as like it really happens I'm sure it does yeah because I'm like wow I'm sitting here literally terrified I go to bed at night and I'm like are the lights flickering whatever and now I'm like these poor kids hopefully they don't like I don't really feel like when I even now like as an adult like filming a scene like that like let's say someone's chasing you like with a chainsaw or something like I feel like when I go home I would be thinking about that I would I mean I feel like I'm the same way

if I go see a movie that's scary or like something on tv that's like a commercial for like a horror movie on tv I will think about that and it'll like end up in my dreams if you're almost living that to the point where like right how do you turn it off I don't know and especially scary stuff because you hear about like people even getting like like method acting for like the Elvis role yes Austin Butler yeah and so like imagine being like that, but for like a scary. Something scary. I couldn't do it. Yeah, no, that definitely.

Yeah, that scares me. But I mean, the show definitely is kind of scary, but I like, I don't know, the acting is so good and the story is so good. I just can't stop watching it. So, yeah. But then I also saw on TikTok the little like drama with like Doja Cat and one of the characters from Stranger Things oh my gosh no I I saw that TikTok I saw that there was something going on with Doja caught my eye because I was really excited words I was really excited to see

her at Lollapalooza but now she can't go so that's what the cast member from Stranger Things yes and honestly I would have never known if like one I didn't just like start watching that but two I feel like I'm so weird in this way but now every time like a popular show comes out or like a popular movie everybody, like, follows the cast members. Yeah. I can't do that. Like, I don't know what it is, but, like, in the past, I've tried to do that, but, like, it ruins the character in my head. And, like, I want them to be living there like the character.

Like, always in the show. Always in character. Yeah. So, like, I just can't do it so I had no idea this character he's like one of the main characters I had no idea his name in real life so when I first saw this I'm like why is this such a big deal and then like I realized like wow this actually makes a lot of sense because not only is Stranger Things like trending now but like they're huge stars now after like so many seasons or whatever so it's like oh that makes a lot of sense like it's just like yeah that's the guy from stranger things and then I was like oh well I hope they

figure it out but yeah no that was fun that was interesting but speaking of little shade being thrown, we are actually going to conclude this episode with telling you guys about our plan to include you guys in our episodes every week. Instagram bio where you can anonymously submit your own shady stories and we will read them at the end of each episode and get to know you guys a little bit or at least your shady sides and we are so excited to be doing this and get this first episode out to you guys thank you for listening and we will see you next week bye everyone bye bye
