WRFH/Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM - Thursday Lunch: Crash and Burn

Episode Date: February 11, 2025

This week, Bella and Jillian welcome you to their table and perhaps learn a thing or two from the pair’s biggest crash outs. You may leave the table thinking “these people are the worst�� or “who threatens their own life because they didn’t get to meet a youtuber” and these are both reasonable thoughts to have. Were their reactions warranted? You’ll just have to listen and decide for yourself. Please don’t let this scare you away.

You're listening to Raider Free Hillsaw 1.1.1.7 FM. I'm Bella and I'm Jillian and you're listening to Thursday, where we only have one question. Do you want to sit with us? Does that make you guys want to sit with us? I mean, if I heard that, I'd be like, please. Please let me sit with you. I have nowhere else to sit, actually.

I don't know you were that cool. And if you didn't say that, we get it, but you're about to. You about to wish you sat with us. Oh, you're going to regret saying that. Why? You're going to listen to it back and go, uh-oh. Oh, you don't need to. Oh, you don't have to cry.

Bella, no. Wait, Bella, suck those tears back up. No, let's just keep going. We have to talk about our worst crashouts. Oh, brother. Today, for our Thursday lunch meal, we're eating our words. That's true. Because we're reliving some of our all-time most terrible crashouts.

Bella, how would you rate your crashouts on a scale of 1 to 10? I mean, the first one is pretty bad. It's probably like a 10 out of 10 because the reason was bad and the reaction was worse, truly, and violent, horrible. Okay, also I'm excited to hear it. My second one is just like, oh, wow. I would say my first one is like a 3, but as an elementary schooler, it was like a 10, obviously. Oh, as a child, this was like, I'm, this is it for me.

And then my second one, it just makes me look really bad. So I'd say it's, but it's not like the worst crash out ever. I've definitely had terrible crashouts, but they're not funny enough to post on a podcast. Yeah, exactly. I have a couple where I was like, I could tell, oh, people are just going to listen and be like, I'm really sorry that happened to you. You beat up your mom? Like, that's kind of the vibe there with some of the ones I was avoiding.

Like, you punched your sister? Yeah. And we already did an episode on that. So if you're interested in hearing us be awesome older sisters, definitely tune into that episode for sure. I think it's called Best siblings ever. It makes me laugh. Best sisters ever. Best sisters, because we were something special.

We're really good. We're really good now. And it was honestly hard to think of the right ones to talk about because a lot of them just involved me hurting my sisters. And I was like, we already did that episode. Right, right. So you guys are in for a treat. Do you want to start with your appetizer?

Tell us what food it is. and hit us with the story. Okay. I think this appetizer has to be kind of a classic because it's, okay, I'm going to say that it's like garlic bread. Oh, wait, that's awesome. What I did was not awesome, but like, it's soggy. It's soggy garlic bread.

I hear you. And honestly, that's not necessarily about it. No, and like, again, my reason and everything was horrible about it, but it was like, it's It's the kind of freak out you have as a kid and you're like, that should have happened. Yeah. You know what I mean? I hear you. So, let me preface this.

By the way, I'm going to sound like a huge brat because I was. So one year I went to this thing called Playlist Live, which was basically a YouTuber meetup convention. Okay? I can't believe you went to that. Yeah. We should probably say that you lived in Florida though, so it made more sense. It wasn't insane. She wasn't flying across the country to meet.

No, exactly. I was like, I need to go to Orlando and meet Nick Bean. And I did. And she did. So I got to go. Like, I went one year because my cousin was going. So my dad was like, do you want to go? Blah, blah, blah.

I never saw my cousin. She was really made to me anyway. So, but that was really not great because the second year, my parents are like, you're not going to that. Like, are you kidding me? I was like, what do you mean? What do you mean? Going to that.

Like, are you serious? And I got in this huge fight with my mom where I said a lot of horrible things, like, including. You're the worst mom ever. I want to go find my real mom. My friend, Elise, she gets to go to playlist. I wish she would die and I'd her mom. This is all over playlist live.

Stuff like that. Yes. All over playlist live, okay? Also, this was like an expensive event. Like, it was so bratty of me to be screaming about this. But here's really the kicker. I'm fighting with my mom. My dad starts to get home.

So I'm like getting really scared. Whatever. My mom like goes downstairs to like tell on me. And I'm following her down the stairs, like, I hate you, I hate you. And like, I'm about to get so much. You're hyperventilating. No, literally. Running after her.

Literally. And there's actually two little kickers to the story. So I'm running down the stairs. My dad gets home. As I sit down on the stairs, I like bang my fist on the wall next to the stairs. My parents' wedding picture falls. No. Shatters.

No. No. And I'm like, my dad walks in the door. wedding picture on the floor shattered. And I'll love to my mom. She pulls out all the stops and she's like, Pallet's just being horrible. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was.

But like, I was like, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't mean to do that. Like, I just hit the wall and it fell. And my dad was like, like, he was mad. So I went to the kitchen. Can I talk about this? I went to the kitchen and I pulled out a knife to my throat.

I was like, This should have been my main maybe, but I was like, you never believe me to my dad. And Bobba is always loved ever. And I was like, you should get divorced. You guys are horrible. I can't believe you would do this to me. This is because of a playlist line. Yeah.

And so I pulled a knife out. I stood in the kitchen with a knife to my throat. I was like, I'm just going to die. I'm going to kill myself. Mine, luckily, my, like, entree story has been to do with my parents, but this one has nothing to do with my parents. is elementary school me. Okay. This is actually, I believe, fourth grade, if I'm not mistaken. Just a little bit of, like, little baby backstory. There was this boy in my fourth grade class. I'm going to use this real name, but not his last name. His name was Remington. We didn't meet,

but we, like, started fourth grade dating at the roller rink. We had this thing called... Oh, at the roller rink. Yeah. We had this thing called Skate Night at Extreme Wheels, where I was from. And he, like, won a pig for me in the claw machine. I love him. Yeah. So we were dating from then on, as fourth graders do. But not in a real way. It was the kind of dating where like we never really talked to each other. But if he was absent from school, people would be like, Chilien's having a bad day. Her boyfriend's absent.

And I'd be like, yeah, guys, don't talk about it. Yeah, it's kind of serious to me. Obviously, I'm sad. So I miss him. Obviously, I'm sad that I miss him. So this was this boy. And my. biggest crash out came at the end of fourth grade. He had been absent from school for a while. I don't remember. I think he had some sort of sickness. And he was not coming to class. And we all went to skate and on extreme wheels and he was there. And I don't remember being like, whoa, he's here. Like,

I think it was a very fragmented even friendship. I think we were, we barely knew each other, honestly. And I remember being like, wow, the place where it all began, the place where it all began, the roller rink where we fell in love. And over the speakers, the DJ, the DJ, announces that Remington has a song to dedicate to a girl. And I'm like, OMT, OMT. Oh my God. Wait, no way. Like, what's it going to be?

They're like, Olivia, come on out. And skate to this song. And I remember hearing that. I remember, all I really remember is standing up, pushing myself up from the little like graded benches, storming into the bathroom, crying. My friends did run after me. And they're, what's wrong? What's wrong?

I'm like, he dedicated a song to Olivia. I have no idea who Olivia is. Wait, this is. He's got a kid. So, um, I crashed out in a major way. Like, saw him crying in the bathroom. I like, am trying to skate near him so that I can like give him a side eye when I get back on. I'm like, wait, so he's just.

He doesn't care one bit. He doesn't even remember me. Like, we haven't talked. I don't even know if he went to our school anymore. Like, I'm really sure what's going on. That was it after that for you guys. That was my big crash out in elementary school. I never saw him again.

Yeah. Shout out him. I hope he's cool. But that's my app. Oh, I didn't give it a food. Yeah, give it a food. If I was going to give that one a food, I'd give it like nachos with like neon cheese. Yeah. You would eat it at the roller rink. Yeah. I think that's the real inspiration there. Okay. Hit us with your on. Wait. For those of you who are just tuning in, this is Thursday lunch on Radio Free Hillsdale 1.1.7 FM. I'm Jillian. And I'm Bella. And we're talking about our worst crash outs.

Yeah. So if you want to hear about how we freaked out. Flip our lids and wrote songs about it. Yeah. Well, that was just you. That was just, but it's okay. Continue. So for my main course, I, first of all, the food, I was like, good at, okay, it's like one of those protein bars that is, it just tastes like protein and you've just eaten like five of them.

Wait, terrible. What is the heck? Terrible. And it kind of relates to the story and the way that. It's giving your marathon story. Oh, yeah, pretty much. Not. Well, it's just horrible.

It's starchy. It's gross. It tastes like protein, but it has like, it's dipped in chocolate. You know what I mean? Yeah. And so I used to run a lot, and I used to go to cross-country practice, but we lived like 45 minutes away, so my mom could not always pick us up. But there's this one lady whose son did soccer with my sister.

So my cross-country practice would end. Then Josie would go to soccer practice, and I would wait for soccer practice to end, and then we'd go home with... and his mom. Oh, awesome. Also would take home, uh, Durba. Who is Durba? He is a friend. I love her? And no. A councilman? A friend, mostly of my sister, but he did soccer as well and he also lived in Avey. So we would also take him home. Let me set the scene. I've been at school all day, and then I had to go to cross-country practice from like 345 to, I don't know, five. I guess.

Wow. Then wait 30 minutes for soccer practice to end. Wait for his mom to get there. So it's like 6 o'clock. I feel like it must have been later, honestly. The sunseting, I literally have any eaten since like noon, okay? It's horrible. Jeez.

Is this every time or this one specific time? Well, this, she drove us a lot, but this time was especially bad. And it's actually crazy that she did this. So I haven't eaten in an hour. Everything's horrible. I hate my life. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. and we're driving home.

The traffic's horrible. And I like, I'm like starting to freak out because she won't stop talking and like she always fought with her son while they were in the car too and I'm sitting there like at 7 o'clock and like

I have to study for my FSA tomorrow. Like what the heck am I going to do? Like I just want to go home. I have so much homework to do. I'm being a horrible, horrible teenager. This lady pulls over in this random place we're like, Hello?

Hey, what's happening? Why are we at? Oh, it's her mom's nursing home. We're just going to stop in and say hi to my mom. What? So she pulls in this parking lot. What the heck? I'm like, this is not okay.

And I follow her up to her mom's assistant living facility where this like old woman. And we're like in her house, like waiting. We don't know what's happening. It's like eight o'clock. My mom's like, why aren't you home yet? I'm like, we're at mom's nursing home. Hello? And first of all, my mom is being like, where are you?

Like, what are you doing? Blah, blah, blah. So I'm like, okay, so I'm getting in trouble. And I'm sitting in this nursing home. I'm like, I'm really hungry. I'm really thirsty. Like, my water's all gone. And I like, and I like start to kind of like freak out.

You know what I mean? And we get back in the car. And I'm literally like, I'm literally sitting against the window. It's literally eight o'clock. Oh my gosh. I was so mad. I'm sitting against the window. I'm like, like,

p. Like silently, just like. like beat red just like silently crying in this random lady's car and I guess that's kind of the crux of the story except then I got home and my mom was like how's your day and I was like what you never picked me up so no it's fine no and it's nine o'clock and I just do my homework and everything so it's fine and I freaked out on her and just like yeah cried in my bed and I got grounded so you got grounded yeah I got grounded for lashing out for having the worst day of your life yeah literally the worst day of my life and honestly I think why it is

those protein bars is because that's probably all I had to eat. That story to me gives pea soup. It just does like the old woman home. Yeah, actually. Everything's bad. Honestly, getting grounded for your worst day. It does need to be like, it's a punishment.

That's a punishment food. And there was something, I swear, I must have like failed something or something that day. Oh, because I was in geometry. It was probably the worst day in my life and I was crying in a stranger's car. And I came home, yeah to my mom and got grounded. so. Parents need to understand what kids go through.

Guys, I was really hungry and I was really mad. She had only had pee soup. And why did you take my phone, mom? Oh. That's all that made me happy. Are you ready for my appetizer? Yeah, I am.

No, my entree. Dang, I always mess up the words. Hey, it's okay. Thank you. My entree is going to be, oh, I had a food. Let me, bones. Bones.

Bones. Like bones. You'll understand when you, Bones. I'll understand when you, hear it. Okay. So I was in a production of the Curious Savage, my sophomore year of high school. And the way that that production was, it was in a black box. So black box theaters are small. It's like a room, practically, a classroom. It's a little bigger than a classroom that's all painted black.

And the people in the audience are basically right up against the stage. Like, you can see them. And the deal with my school was that theater productions were required for the like entry level theater classes. So people had to come see the production. And so the, the, sorry, the black box has like a hundred seats in it. And the people are right up close to you. Oh.

And the show, I liked it. But there was just a lot of like tension in the show. Like getting to the point of production was really contentious. At one point, there was a rumor going around that the director called us the leftovers. And so like cast morale was at an all time low. We would get notes and everybody would just look at each other and roll their eyes and be like, like we were just all nobody.

The leftovers. Nobody was on the same team. We had just finished like the show before. We had filmed the mannequin challenge in like 2019. So it was like three years late. And I was pissed about it. You did the mannequin challenge in 2019. I was just really, really upset about everything happening.

then to top it off in the front row of this this night's show the entire like not the entire but yeah good chunk of the baseball team because they were in theater one as their art credit for high school and so they were required to come see the show and the whole time they're like throwing things on the stage they're reading our bios in the playbill oh so they're bullying you yeah yeah they're reading our bios in the playbill like kind of loud like I can hear them talking they're like laughing and hitting each other and like ha and when we make a joke they're like not laughing at it because it's not funny to them and it's just like an incredibly painful and to top it all off it was opening night i probably should have said that but it didn't feel like a fun opening night so it didn't feel necessary but it was opening night and my parents weren't coming until

closing night or maybe like a middle production i just remember my parents couldn't make it to opening night that go around and i was so like everything just compiled and my mom like came inside to pick me up and take me to the car after the show was done because she couldn't see the show she's like how to go i was like it was you would know if you came to see it like so like completely lashing out at her being the worst in the world and i'm mad at her i'm like storming ahead i like slam the car door and we're in it we're just silent i'm just silent driving home she's like oh um she we're just like not talking it's kind of it's super awkward run inside she's like you like this is not acceptable. You can't just ignore me when I, and I was like, I don't really care, okay? I had a

really hard day and you don't even care. I didn't even come see my show. Run up, this is the worst part. Run up the stairs, run up the stairs, walk into my room, open the door. Oh, what is there but a big gift in my room? No. For about a year and a half prior to that, I had been sending my mom posts of this, like, white wicker mirror on Facebook marketplace being like, can we get this? And she's like, it's a hundred miles away. No. So like, for about a year, I'd just been like wanting the thing wanting this thing. I walk in my room. My mom had driven to go get it for me that day. So I crash out in the car. Yell at her. Matt at her. I stormed past her. I'm so angry. She didn't, she did literally

nothing wrong. That is actually my nightmare. I get home big gift in my room. Oh. What did you do after that? I was like, oh. And I went upstairs and I was like, hi mom. She's like, did you see it? And I was like, yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just had a really hard day. I really like it. She's like, okay. Okay. I remember she was like, okay. And I like put the mirror in my room where it was supposed to go. And I think about that crash out all the time.

It's a really bad one. So sorry, mom. Mom, if you're listening to this, I'm really sorry. I think about that all the time. Sorry, Mrs. Parks. Sorry, Miss Parks. We love you. But, yeah, those are our meals.

I had a delicious meal of nachos with cheese and bones. And you had. My meal was soggy garlic bread and low-key protein bar dipped in pea soup. Foul. It's lukewarm. They put it in the microwave. What drink are we going to wash it all down with? Oh.

Do you know? Yes. Okay, you go first then. My song of the week is going to be What's Going On by Marvin Gay. Oh, nice. I've been in a huge Marvin Gay phase. So good. Almost all of his songs, I'm like, oh, this is perfect.

This is actually perfect. and this song 100% it's like ice cold lemonade like on the most beautiful day like it is wonderful and I was listening to this a couple days ago just yesterday actually because it was kind of warm I don't know like 40 degrees sitting on the couch I was listening to it and I was like writing and I looked up and like these two bluebirds flew by like the bluest birds I've ever seen and this was song was playing like everyone needs I don't know We're not supposed to tell people to do things on the radio. Bella loves to listen to it.

I love to listen to this. One time maybe if you listen to it, you'll like it, maybe. That's good. That's good. But it was like, it was like a God moment, low key. And this song was playing and I was like, everything's going to be fine. And I'm drinking ice cold lemonade on a hot summer's day.

Well, yeah. Not really, but that's the best. That is what this song is. Okay, you next. Mine, I'm trying to think of a drink that's like really smooth. That's not like coffee. Okay. Can you think of anything?

Wait, okay, I'm actually going to go with milk. Okay. I am going to go with milk because I saw baby girl. But it's a beautiful, it's a, it's been really like doing it for me recently. I really like the song. Every breath you take by the police. Oh, yes. That's been like the song of the week for me.

Oh, that's such a good one. And like, every vow you take. Oh, yeah. Every move you make. Every move you make. Oh, that's a good one. My gosh. So I've been listening to that one a lot recently.

I read just covered it. I read just covered it because I was singing. the tune and couldn't remember what the song was. And I asked my parents what song is this. And I went, no, no, no, no. And they were like, the police. Every breath you take.

And then I re-re-downloaded it to my Spotify because I don't think I'd ever had it on Spotify. And it's been a good time. So, it's a really good song. My meal in total is milk bones and nachos. Milk bones and nachos. And you are munching down on. Soggy garlic bread, pea soup with a protein bar, and some nice lemonade. Do you guys want some?

You guys want a bite? You might want this. You guys want to take a bite? Take a bite. And for our dessert, well, you'll just have to come back next week. Oh, what will we talk about? No one knows.
