Welcome to Dirty Rush, the truth about Surveillance.
with your host, me, Gia Judice, Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Fessler.
Hi, you guys. Welcome back to Dirty Rush. I am Jen Fessler, and today I am joined by my
favorite girl in the world, my daughter, Rachel. And we are diving into all the wild,
unfiltered stories from Parents Weekend, because if you guys think Rush is chaotic,
just wait to the parents show up. So, first of all, hi, Rachie.
Hi.
Hi.
So for those of you who don't know or have never done a weekend like this, Rach, what is parents' weekend?
It's a weekend, one weekend out of the year when all the parents come.
It's pretty self-explanatory.
Well, it is pretty self-explanatory, but there's a lot more too within that.
There are like activities, lots of times depends on the school, right?
There's like football games.
Yeah.
It depends on the school, I guess.
But, yeah, there's football games.
if you're in a sorority of frat, there's usually little, like, day parties. Little day parties?
Big day parties. Big day parties. So, all right. So when I came on sophomore year,
oh, I remember who you were living with. What were you the most excited for me to see?
We went to my, like, group of friends' house that they were living at at the time, and we just
like, drink there all day. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that. I remember that. So were you, like,
was it, like, nerve-wracking? Like, oh, my God, my mom was going to come.
and see my lifestyle or like you were maybe a little i think like just showing you everything and
how much we've been drinking and all that we went crazy that year i don't remember if you had a boyfriend
at that point no almost you just broke it out yeah no i no no i was i liked this kid and then
the kid was at the party because he was like friends with my friends and so you like went up to him and you were like
testing him. You were like, you need to ask her out. Who is the kid? Hold on a second. First of all,
you went, so I remember going to your apartment, whatever, it was gross, but I feel like you were
at school and you were at home. Yeah, I had a good apartment too. Right. I mean, I just remember
we were so excited. And so, but the first year, you weren't in the sorority house, but this is a
sorority podcast. So we'll talk about like when you were a junior walking into that sorority house.
And I remember from UT, the houses there were beautiful. They were like gorgeous and with
beautiful living rooms and beautiful kitchens. And then, you know, I mean, you shared a room,
obviously, but given the shared space. And I remember walking to the Alphabet fee house.
I didn't share room. You got a single. Yes. You got very lucky. But it was still the size of a closet.
it. Yeah. Right? Yeah, it was so small. It was like a corner of a room. And I remember like going,
I just thought the gross right next to the bathroom. Yeah, but you felt that was like your favorite
year, like living in the house. Yeah, I had all my friends on one floor. It was. Yeah, but I remember
thinking like it was nasty. I don't know. I did not think that house was nice, but whatever. But okay,
so did you clean shit up before we got there or no? Sophomore year.
Well, Bo, I don't know either.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I remember doing laundry one year, like having to go to some laundry mat in the middle of Newark Delaware.
Yeah, that was at the sorority, because it was so annoying to do laundry there.
You play petty like, yeah. I remember like going, spending all this time in a freaking laundry map.
But okay, so wait, because this is like the funny story.
So that, whatever guy it was, so we go to a frat party and all of the parents like think that they're in college.
I mean, and I remembered it because of going to Zach's, right?
Going to like, we all went to parents weekend, you know, with Zach, with my son, your brother.
So we kind of knew about it different school.
But like the frat parties at Delaware, it was like the frat houses were gross.
So they were all like in the backyard.
And it was hard to get drinks and yet everyone was wasted.
I remember just all of the parents being wasted.
Yeah.
And I remember that poor boy.
No, you're getting the years.
mixed up. But sophomore year, we were just at a house and we were all like just with our friends.
Junior year, you got wasted. Yes. And you were like going up to all the boys that I was friends
with in the frats and like just I don't even know. They all were looking at me like what is going
out here. I was like, all right, time to go. Didn't even make it to the bar. No, that's not funny.
That's not true because that year everyone, I mean, I'm not saying whatever, but it was kind of a thing
because I was on the housewise at the time.
Yeah.
And so, like, there were, like, a lot of the girls that, whatever, the parents.
Yeah, yeah.
And I had a lot, we were, whatever, we was all shooting the shit about it.
Yeah.
I just remember one boy that I was like, oh, you think you're too good for my daughter?
Yeah, something.
But I was kidding.
I was totally kidding.
I was like, whatever.
I was hammered.
And I was like, just, is that what I was saying to him?
I'm getting confused which one you're talking about.
It doesn't even matter because they all, honestly, all these parents' weekends
kind of roll into each other.
But the one time we're outside at that frat house and I was like,
it was that one boy you said, Mom, he's like running away from you.
Yeah, no, that was junior year and you were just being insane.
What was I saying to him?
You were saying stuff about me.
I'm like, I'm not even like, we're not like together or even like kissing or anything.
Like, he's just my friend.
And I was like, I don't know why you think.
What was I saying to him?
You're like just like something about me.
And even though they would like talk about it for the rest of the year.
I was like, yep.
That's her.
Yeah, but it wasn't just me because I was with these other moms.
And the one mom started talking about because they were all wasted.
And she started to talk about vaginitis or do you remember that?
Yeah.
It's your friend's mom.
Yeah, I don't know what was going to.
And I don't even know how that word came up.
She started saying that it's like a thing.
And then we just started using it in like every sentence.
And so like every girl we meet, this mother more than me would be like,
oh, do you have the vaginitis or something like that?
It was so ridiculous.
But okay, but then I was done.
I remember like, okay, time to go home now.
And you were like not having it.
And you wanted us to go, what was the main bar?
I guess it was you were grottoes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, like, go over there and there's like a two-hour line to get it.
That was senior year, yeah.
That was senior year?
Yeah.
Well, I'm glad you could keep track.
And we're like, there's no freaking way that we are waiting in this line.
Yeah.
And you try to go to them and be like, I'll post it.
And they were like, okay.
Who are you?
Yeah.
And Melissa Gorga was there that one year.
She wasn't going to that bar, but we met her for like drinks, yeah.
We met them, right.
We met them for drinks.
But like they were outside the bar and like, I remember we were with them and Joe was trying to talk to someone about getting in.
Oh, yeah, maybe.
But they weren't even going in with Antonia because she couldn't even get in.
They were just going in to go in.
Right.
I mean, it's just completely ridiculously wild.
It's all like these old people like me, pretending like we're back in college, embarrassing our kids, except like every year you still were like so excited for me to come.
Yeah, it was so fun.
It was. So remember when you and me and Dad and Zach did the, what is it called where you have like a, looks like a surfboard and you do the shots.
Oh yeah, like the Shotsky thing. Is it called the Shotsky thing? That's like our cutest picture that we took. Like when the four of us were doing that. That was so, that was really fun. And like the first night always is like go out to dinner with everyone. Right? Yeah. That was like big.
Yeah. Yeah. Do you remember like, I don't know.
anything that was crazy that I'm like I mean there had to be such
whacked out moments right I remember being like your parties that you would throw in
your apartment yeah I don't know I remember senior year we were all on like the same
street and some of the parents stayed out like late on night you guys were gone at this
point and they were like old men like hitting the bong like it was crazy what's going on
time to go home I remember also you had an ex-boyfriend
from freshman year, and we were just walking to some other frat house, and you saw him,
and you, like, started crying on the street.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, I think so.
I was like, get a grip, okay?
I did not drive here.
Three hours, a few to some old boyfriend from six months ago, you're crying about him on the street
because he happened to see him.
I was crying about some boy.
You always crying about some boy.
I remember there was a girl that you had a thing with, and I remember, like,
that girl like lived across from you.
Oh, yeah.
From the sorority house, we won't mention any names.
And I'm like walking up down the street.
I'm like, where is she?
Where is she?
Or you're just staring.
I was just staring at the house waiting so I can give her dirty looks.
Poor thing.
I was like mean to my daughter.
Where is she?

up and good. Listen to Betrayal Season 5 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts. I'm Bailey Taylor, and this is It Girl. You may know me from my It Girl series I've done
on the streets of New York over the years. Well, I've got good news. I am bringing those interviews
and many more to this podcast.
Yes, we will talk about the style and the success,
but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations,
and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now.
As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated.
So you have to work extra hard,
and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise
who you are in your integrity.
You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja.
Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders,
creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility,
and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye.
Because being an it girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it.
I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day,
just so they know what's really going on.
I feel like pulling the curtain back is important.

Aquarius is all about freedom-loving and different perspectives,
and I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius are misunderstood.

He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms, on different houses and different places,

until a confession changed everything.
I was a monster.
Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, you guys.
So now that we have kind of set the scene,
let's get into I'm serious, wild stories from our listeners.
So I'm just going to read a couple.
There was one girl that went to University of Arizona.
She says, one time my roommate, who was a sorority sister,
had her dad come for parents weekend.
He took an unknown drug from a frat boy.
He was nonstop puking and hallucinating at our shared apartment toilet all night long.
She said she could never look at him.
same after. I want you to imagine Jeff Fessler. First of all, ever taking a job.
Why are you doing that? People think they're in college again. It's crazy. Yeah, but you,
you guys encouraged it. Okay. To take unknown drugs. No, I'm not to take unknown drugs.
We never took unknown drugs, but I'm just saying, like, I wanted to go to bed. Yeah.
Me and your dad probably less than I did. I think that's the stigma to just like have your parents out and get them
drunk and that's fun. And we did. We got drunk, but then by around,
you know, seven o'clock, I was like, okay, Rach, done now, and you were like not having it.
All right. You were probably like five o'clock, seven o'clock.
Yeah, I was probably like I was right, five o'clock.
Yeah.
All right. This other person wrote and said, from San Diego State, sophomore year, one of the frats on our frat row, which we call stacks,
there were huge parents' weekend tailgate. Everything started off totally normal.
Everyone was hanging out with their parents, walking around, drinking, typical fun day.
out of nowhere in the middle of the crowd, this one girl's mom, probably in her 50s, starts vomiting
and literally collapsing. She couldn't stand up at all and was completely out of it. It got chaotic.
Really, three of the frat guys had to carry her downstairs into one of the bedrooms. I want you to
imagine if I had done this to you. You think you were embarrassed because I was like asking that guy
or whatever? I didn't live in the stacks, obviously, it was the frats, but I went downstairs to help.
We had to take care of this fully grown adult woman getting her water and making sure she was
okay while she was completely obliterated and still throwing up on herself.
It was honestly insane seeing someone's mom get that drunk in the middle of parents' weekend.
Would you have, I don't think we would have ever spoken again.
Yeah, that's bad, bad.
I mean, I could, like, I'm not with you, but I could see that happening just with how
much the parents are drinking all that.
Did you ever see anybody's parents, like after parents weekend, was anyone ever like,
I'm never talking to my mom or dad again?
No, not really.
No one really pushed it that overboard.
And it was just like all our parents were drunk.
So it wasn't.
There was one weekend, again, these people will go unnamed,
where one of your friends got really wasted this parents weekend
and went up to the bathroom of a frat house
and just became so hysterical crying.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And that person's parents weren't at,
they were waiting or something at to tailgate.
And like she couldn't get it together.
No, they weren't there out there.
I think her dog died.
Oh, maybe the dog, right.
And they were waiting for her or something.
And I'm like, you guys, all you girls, get out of the bathroom right now.
Remember?
Like, no, no, no.
Stop.
It was so dramatic.
And I had to, like, go in, get you guys out.
And I was like, honey, stand up.
We're leaving now.
Pull it together.
I don't want you to embarrass yourself in front of these idiot boys.
Get up.
We got her up.
We got her out.
We got her into an Uber.
We took her to the, whatever, to the tailgate.
Their parents were so funny.
They're like, get this drama queen.
Okay, whatever.
Okay, here's one.
Florida State.
At Florida State, one of the sororities had a parent's weekend and rented out a table
at a local bar for the night.
Everyone was there with their parents and it quickly turned into everyone getting way
too drunk together.
At some point, the mom and dad of the girl who rented the table were literally making
out at the table in front of everyone.
The mom and the dad.
That's insane.
It wasn't subtle either.
was fully happening in the middle of the group while all of us were just sitting there watching it
go down. It was one of those moments where you don't even know where to look because it's so
uncomfortable but also kind of hilarious. Definitely not what anyone expected from parents'
weekend. Have you ever seen that happen? They're really turning into kids again. Yeah,
that's crazy. I want you to, I'm sorry to keep going back to us, but I want you to imagine me
and your father. Have you ever even seen this make-out period?
No, kids.
Make out.
Do you ever want to?
No.
No.
It would not be for you.
Have you ever seen me make out?
Would you want to look at that?
I definitely would not want to see you make out.
Have I ever seen you make out?
I mean, I've seen you with boys.
Not seeing me like make you never with someone.
No, no, you're right.
No.
Ew.
Yeah.
This is actually all making me so much better.
It should actually make you feel like I'm the coolest
because I never did any of this shit.
Yeah.
And you always try to get me more drunk than I even.
even was. So yeah. All right. Here's somebody at Boulder. At mom's weekend, sophomore year,
Boulder, we were all the dardy that started out pretty typical music drinks, everyone with their
moms trying to keep it somewhat normal, but also clearly not. As the day went on things,
got progressively more chaotic. People were getting way more drunk than expected, including the
parents. At one point in the middle of the backyard with a full crowd around, this one mom somehow
ended up dancing with one of the frat guys. I don't even know if I want to keep reading this.
This is going to a bad place. No, I see that. Yeah, it's like weird.
In the middle of the night, Saska awoke in a haze.
Her husband, Mike, was on his laptop.

It started off as joking, everyone's laughing, but then it escalated so fast.
The next thing you know, she is fully making out with him in the middle of the dardy.
like full spin around, hands on him, not even, not even trying to hide it.
Everyone is just staring.
Some people cheering, others completely shocked, and her daughter is nowhere to be found,
which honestly made it even crazier.
It turned out, it turned into the main event of the entire party.
People were literally pulling out their phones because no one could believe what they were watching.
Easily one of the most unhinged mom's weekend moments I have ever seen.
Yeah, that's absurd.
You've seen that online?
I feel like I even like when we would go to the bar, like there's just like older people like getting too close to like it's like weird.
Like I remember you would say like some of the bars like there's like this old guy and he's like hey and you're like.
Yeah.
Like you're 50.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I would see that.
I feel like parents just like taking it too far and getting a little too close to the fat boys.
That is so gross.
I mean, are you feeling more and more?
proud of me as this as this as potty as goes like not like that big of like achievement yay you did it
make out with a frat boy good job you're so obnoxious you're so you're so you're so rude still
i'm just saying i wasn't as embarrassed i wasn't that embarrassing yeah all right oh this is ucla
over parents weekend my freshman year i went to ucLA our stadium isn't on campus we played the
which is about 45 minutes hour and a half car ride UCLA didn't really think
timing through with this game our parents weekend was a football game on a Friday night

on the bus for two hours everyone had peeced so bad so my dad bribed the bus
driver to let us pull over at some janky gas station by the 101 the gas station
didn't end up having a bathroom so about
students and their parents on this bus ended up crossing streams in an alley off the 101.
I think I got pee all over my shoes and I'm not sure it was mine, but the relief was worth it.
Gross.
Yeah, yeah, that's, I mean, for our football games, like, we were just tailgate and then we would
go home.
All right.
USC, over Parents Weekend, we did a crossover tailgate between our sorority and a fraternity,
who were our best guy friends.
Every year, the frat would throw a pregame decked out with decorations and would buy a huge
ice luge.
It was a super hot day.
They didn't want the ice luge to make.
out so they kept it there. It was my freshman year and my first parents weekend ever.
And my dad was the first person to use the ice luge after I edged him on and the luge was so cold
that my dad got his tongue stuck to it. Christmas story style. Wait, have you ever seen that movie
or the kid gets his tongue stuck to the pole? Oh, that's insane. We had to go get warm beer and
peel it off. Poor guy came all the way from Wisconsin to L.A. just to get his tongue stuck on the
ice luge. I feel like that's so something that would happen to your father.
Yeah.
Right?
Like he would be like, like we would push him into it.
We made him do that thing, remember?
I forgot what it's called.
Oh, the funnel.
Yeah.
The beer funnel or whatever?
Yeah.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
What else do we make him do?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Zach was always the one like pushing us even more than you to like do the luge.
That's right.
He did that.
But we always had to push your father and stuff.
I could just see him like, you have to do this luge getting his, that would be such
a Jeff Fessler thing to happen.
And like the three of us behind him dying laughing.
Okay.
University of Miami, Ohio,
whenever our parents would come into town
to visit for Parents Week
and our favorite rap band would play
for all the parents and put on a concert.
My mom's name is Caroline.
So she got so drunk that she ends up going on stage
and made all the frat guys sing sweet Caroline.
You would do that.
I would totally do that.
I swear if she was so drunk,
I thought she was going to start craft surfing.
See, I think that's,
That's adorable.
100% that's something I would do.
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, I think I had, like, I had fun at those, at your parents' weekends, probably more
than I did at college myself.
Probably more than just a normal night out with your friends, right?
It's probably something.
Obviously.
Probably something, yeah, you probably, like, look forward to it.
I was also just fun to be there, like, to meet all your friends and, like, your soror and the boys.
Yeah.
I like to go into the houses and, like, all the boys.
and like all the boys you already told me about,
like you pointed them out who they were.
Yeah.
Who like, you know, this one did this.
This one, whatever, diss me, so I'd give them dirty looks.
Yeah.
Yes, there was always some of those.
I know, but I love parents.
We, aw, not that I ever would want to do one again,
but it was really fun.
You'll be doing it.
They are fun.
And I see Antonia, she brings her parents to them or whatever now.
And they always, like, when Joe goes,
they, like, do the thing where they're,
With feet up, yeah.
Oh, would they hold your feet up and they go like to the fog thing?
Should ever, yeah.
We only overlap that one year, but it was really fun.
Like, we had a drink at that hotel or whatever.
It was just so fun to have you and Antonia there.
But I remember like Melissa and Joe getting completely mobbed.
Oh, yeah.
By this one really drunk.
Remember that drunk mom?
Yeah, she like wouldn't go away.
We were like, we got it.
And it was like parents weekend, tried to be with the kids.
And she was just all over them.
There was like no escape.
Yeah, it's that.
Listen, I mean, oh my God, those are the good old days.
I'm never going to have one of those again to grandparents ever go?
I feel like that's pushing it.
No?
No, they did, though.
They did for some people.
Yeah, I mean, now I'm not going to want to.
Who are we kidding?
I never go in again.
