WRFH/Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM - Truman and Claire Like People: Kaeleigh Otting

Episode Date: March 7, 2024

This week, we find out why life's hard for bio minors, how the vice presidential track's going for our junior class, and how much Kaeleigh really loves Five Nights at Freddy's.

I'm Truman and I'm Claire. And we like people. Today we like Kaylee Auding, who is the director of lifelong commitment in Pi Beta Phi Phi Sorority. She is also the vice president of the Hillsdale Club bowling team. Kaylee, is it true that you have played every five nights at Freddy's game? I have played everyone except the most recent one, which I believe is security breach, ruined. But I've played every other one because they are on. mobile or on the computer. And I love every single one of them very much. So are you a fake fan if you

haven't played security breach yet? I don't know about fake fan. I think that you have to have access to money and I don't. Who's your favorite character? Are you a Chica gal? Are you a Foxy gal? I'm a Freddie gal, specifically glam rock Freddy from Security Breach. Yeah. Guys, I have to confess, I've never actually played five nights at Freddy's. Welcome back to Truman and Clairelike people, where we find out that Truman's a loser, and he's never played five nights at Freddy's. He's just sheltered homeschooler. That's it. That's all.

That's all. That's the clientele. Yeah, exactly. To the game was made for it. Yeah, I note the theme song. Horror, horror, horror, horror, horror, horror. Horror, horror. however it goes. Thank you.

So do you have a lot of five nights at Freddy's merchandise? Are you a collector of sorts? I'm not. I have one, I have a jumbo foxy plush that I found at my neighbor's house on a table outside and they said free. So my sister and I grabbed it like a year or two ago and then put it in my car and then I brought it here and now it's at my house on my couch. And then my boyfriend bought me two plushies for my birthday.

And I think one's a Freddie one and one's a Bonnie one. And they like sit on my like TV stand and look at me like when I'm doing my homework. That's all I have is just those three, which is I feel that makes me feel like a fake fan. Well, I mean, play your cards right. And super fans of the show might send you fan mail. Oh my gosh. I would love that. I need more plushies.

So if anyone's been to my house, they know that's exactly what I need. Yeah. So, Kaylee, tell me more about being the vice president of the Hillsdale Club, bowling club, is how we wrote it down. I like bowling. When I was in high school, I was averaging about 150. High score is 217. What's your high score?

Like, what's your average? Have you always liked bowling? It's just very interesting to me as, you know, essentially a dad who's just 22 years old. My high is, I think, like a 220. something, I want to say seven or eight. My average, I think at my peak was 185-ish, 190s. Nice.

So I was on, I did bowling in high school. I was told by my bowling coach that he was like, oh, you should just do bowling. And then he ended up buying us all our own custom balls and ball bags and shoes. Wow. I was geeked. I was like, well, why not?

And it's like a free varsity letter. So I, like, did it. And then I started bowling so well that they put me on the men's varsity team. So I was, like, bowling with these other boys as a girl. And it was, like, crazy. I was, like, breaking the glass ceiling for bowling at my tiny private Catholic high school. Well, that's really cool that you're, like, a feminist icon. Oh, yeah.

Really good specifically because I hear through the grapevine and Instagram that you just picked up a little sister in Pi-Fi. I did. I finally got someone I can tear eyes to isn't just my biological sister. Would you say that you like your little more than your biological sister? Whoa. That's crazy. That's a crazy question. Sorry, Olivia. I don't like you quite that much yet. Maybe one day. Me and Sam are gang, so it's just the two of us. So she's my gang. It's just the two of us. It's always been the two of us. But I'd still like Olivia, I guess. We do have a group chat.

Just the three of us called the butt munchers. So we are very close in that way. In the butt munchers kind of way. So you're also the director of lifelong commitment at Pfei. Oh, yeah. What does this mean to you? To me, it means making sure that the seniors specifically have a good time as they are on their way out, kind of organizing sisterhoods for them.

I haven't picked up the mantle yet because I'm a junior and we haven't gotten to our senior year yet. But I'll be like ensuring that they don't check out and that they have a reason to stick around and hang out and PIFI, you know. Do you think that PaiFi is the best sorority? Man, what? Why would I say? Yeah. In my professional opinion, I might be a little biased or something or whatever, but I say I guess I like it a lot, a little bit, you know? Yeah.

Why is it better than the other sororities? Oh man, you're going to get me in so much trouble. Especially Kappa Kappa Gamma. Man. Be un-Panhellenic right now. So basically, man, this is like you guys are asking me to get shot. So, Kaylee, you are someone that I see out in the nightlife of Hillsdale, a weekend warrior. Which house do you think is your favorite party house?

Oh, man. Man, that's so hard. Well, I mean, the answer is Harbor, of course, which is a notorious party house. Everybody knows it, even the freshman. Yep. I don't know. I mean, this year, I'm not going to lie.

Last semester and this semester, I feel like places have been lacking, but I also have, like, decided to stop being a lush and drinking, like a crazy person. So I've been, like, doing other things, like, not going to parties. But I'd say right now, maybe Bert How? which is like kind of a weird answer.

Yeah, that's kind of strange. But like I feel like they did a good job with Presball. So I don't know why I'm answering everything. Like it's a question. I would say bird house. Burnt house. So have you taken up any other hobbies or something in place of being a rabid party animal?

In place of being an alcoholic? Right now, no. Right now I'm starting my propaganda course running through trying to be VP, you know, for my senior class. I thought my sister was like, it would be so funny if you just like just did it. And I was like, I could make memes. You could.

So that's what I've been doing. I famously lost my running for president this year. I don't know if you know Joseph Perez. He's a scoundrel. He's a really bad guy. He ended up beating me. He's my least favorite housemate. So I hope for your sake that if you do end up losing to someone,

it's not someone as terrible as Joseph Perez. We do not like him whatsoever. Yeah, I don't know. Parties have totally been lacking this year. You're right. Yeah, I've got my big opinions about that one. Yeah? Do you want to hit that?

We can bleep house's names if you get really mean about it. This is more like a general, sorry, I'm just like, that was really squeaky. It's more like a general, like, I feel like people have been, like, drinking every day. So, like, when the weekend rolls around, like, what the hell is a point drinking anymore? Like, and throw in a party when I can just sit in my room and drink by myself. Yeah. Kaylee, you mentioned your presidential campaign. You also mentioned Burt House.

Are you aware that Burt House, your favorite party house, is currently attempting their own campaign for the senior class officers? Yes, and I hate all of them, and I don't like them. And just kidding, I actually only know like a couple of them personally. And I think some PIFIs like are friends with them. So I guess I don't hate you guys, but I don't want you to win. Do you know who your opposite is? Absolutely not. I have no idea.

Have I been paying attention to anything? No. Have I been asking my sister and my new little to help me make propaganda for my own campaign? Absolutely. Yeah. Oh, it's Isaac Green. I think. Oh, yeah.

You're right. You're right. He's my beautiful angel. I love him so much. I think he went to date party. I think I do know it. Yeah, I think he did too. He's the most special boy in the world to me.

I'll try not to break this heart, I guess, when I beat him senselessly in the race. He listens to this podcast in front of me in the Collegian office. Oh, no. So I'm really excited to reach this part. I love you, Isaac. You're just, you're special, Isaac. That's all we mean. You're special to us.

Into the world? We'll find out. We'll find out if you win. So, Kaylee, what would be your main campaign pitch right now beyond just being a Pi-Fi? Like, why should Kaylee Auding the vice president of the senior class officers board? Well, let's just see.

I'm a big, big supporter for finding us an excellent speaker. And let me just say, I'm not going to lie. I just want this so I can say I want Mike Roy. row to be our speaker, the guy from dirty jobs. Yeah. I have nothing to offer. This is probably a horrible way to campaign. I honestly, I want everyone to know this right now.

I will do a good job if I get it. Do I have any reason as to why I should get it? Absolutely not. You should probably take that in account. If you're still voting for me, maybe you should rethink that. But personally, I don't know. I did a good job in other things before, so I think I could do this. You have vice presidential experience in club bowling.

In club bowling. So how much of a difference really could there be, honestly? Literally none. I feel like it's practically the same thing. Yeah, Michael Bachman, current vice president was on, and we actually cut this part of the podcast, but he said, you know, a lot of people don't know this. Government is a lot like bowling. Really? That's crazy.

So, yeah, I mean, take with that way you will, listeners. Uh, how that sounds, it sounds like he is running my campaign for me. Um, so outside of Pai-Fi and bowling and now you're run for vice president, um, you're a woman in STEM. I, well, was. Was? I thought you, Ali says that you're in all of her classes. Oh, yeah. I'm like in all of her classes as in like, I'm like one of the heckle, like, fan girls. because I am. I'm a minor in it, if that's what you mean.

That counts. So I, in fact, wrote a couple different questions under the assumption that you were in the biology department. Which in a way you are. In a way. In a minor way. So let's just roll with these. What's your favorite thing to learn about in biology?

Plants. Fish? Not plants. I wanted to be a marine biologist. I love, specifically, I like animal behavior. I used to train dogs in high school for TV shows and movies. What? Yeah, crazy lore.

Originally, I was going to just, that was like my B, now it's my D plan. I was going to study animal behavior and then just go work for my old boss if she would let me. And then I was like, that's not really a thing that they just teach here. There's like one class on animal behavior, I think. And I might take that because I need one more for my major or for my minor. So, like, I like animal behavior. I like the ocean, you know, but who doesn't like the ocean? True.

Me. True, man. Okay. What have, has we seen anything that your animals have worked in? Actually, what you said was insane. Can you just explain? Okay. Expand on this.

So my old boss, her name is Christine Mahaney. If you look her up, I'm like, I am DB. She's like on there. She got like a profile. She trained dogs for like Chicago Fire. there's this one show. She does more than just dogs. She does cats.

She does bunnies, horses and stuff. There's this Amazon Prime original. That was an adaptation from a British show called Utopia. And it came out during the pandemic. And this was like my first big show. Really? Yeah. Okay.

So the petting zoo scene, I literally, kid you not, went to about 25. different tractor supplies and bought all their bunning cages because I needed to buy them for the scene. And I don't know if I'm supposed to say this, but I'll say it anyway. We use them for the scene, then hose them all down afterwards and return them all. So like we did a lot of like weird. I think she was in like Batman. She did in something Batman v. Superman. She trained all the bats. And and. Yes. Exactly. I have no idea. And the dawns of justices.

Yeah. Exactly. She does a lot of stuff. There's a lot of stuff. I was more of like her like personal assistant. And I'd be like, here, I'll file your receipts for you, Christine. And then I'd like feed the dogs and do like basic training with like, she'd get, she'd get new dogs all the time.

And I just do basic training and stuff. I never got to go on set because you have to be 18. My sister did. She filmed Abyssal TikTok commercial. Wow. So that's. So she. Made it.

So she made it. Like she was there. She literally was like at Bissell filming with a vacuum and a dog. You said that doing something similar to that was your D plan. Yeah. What would you say are some of A through C? Probably A would be to get right now, it was before to be unemployed, barefoot and pregnant and married to like a bazillionaire. But then I...

But then you met Kirsten. No offense, but we both will need to have jobs post-college. So I guess right now it would be to get a job and do some maybe marketing stuff with my like psychology and rhetoric and media background. I don't know if they want me to do that out in the world, but I'd love to do that for them if they would have me. To whomever is listening. You're doing a great job of marketing yourself, Canada. I do what I can. what I want to do, you know?

Yeah. All right, time for rapid fire. Kaylee, we were talking earlier, and you said that you think you're probably the dumb guest. I am. I will be the dumbest. What's the lowest grade you've gotten at the lowest grade

I got and thank God for Dr. Volosov because she saved me, or maybe she didn't. I got a D. Maybe a D minus. I don't know. Maybe whatever's the passing, the barely passing grade, because I didn't know what the hell I was doing in that class.

I would go there, sit down, fill out the quizzes and stuff, and pray to God that I would never have to take this class again. In which class is this? This calculus, one, I think. Or calculus, just whatever. I don't know. I don't even know what the class was. But I barely passed it.

That semester, I need everyone to hear this so that when you have a bad semester, you know, at least you're not me. I got a two, a two GPA. That was my GPA. And I sat there and I was like, maybe I shouldn't be doing STEM anymore. Maybe I'll minor in it and do something else. So I, you're welcome.

I know you both have never had a two semester, so I'm glad to have, to be that dumb guess for you. I feel really smart now. You're welcome. I feel like the smartest person in the world now, Kaylee. Yeah. Thank you. You've made our lives. I'm proud.

Who knows? I mean, we both have the opportunity to get a two semester. This is true. just do nothing the last half the year. No one pushed me. I'm right there. Hey, we could all have one together. That's true. We could have like a little club or something. We'll have a pack. Everyone else listening, you're welcome to join as well.

2.0. DM us if you're interested. Who do you think other than yourself and Lord Carson Lopez? Who's your favorite couple on campus? Oh my gosh. I was thinking really hard about this and I was like, I don't know of anyone I can personally think of us. But I will just, I will say, you know what, I will say you. I'm not saying this a boost your ego, but I definitely

would say probably you guys because I know very, very few couples that are like, I'm like, you know what, they're chill and they're nice, both of them I like. Yeah. Are you, you're referring to me and my fiancee or me and Truman. Oh, I was, you and your fiance. I mean, if you wanted to be Truman, sure, we could say that too. I just wanted to clarify. Just are the listeners at home now. Oh, yeah, of course. Yep, Jacob Carson, the guy who plays the one instrument. A bassoon, I think. Yeah, yeah, that's what he does.

Oh, yeah, but what two dorms would you make co-ed? I would make Olds and Galloway. Why is that? I feel like both of them need each other in a very intimate way, you know. I won't elaborate more than that, though. What dorm were you in? Mac, it sucked. Me too.

Yay, we're Mac's sisters. Mac sisters. Did your bathroom flood? Because mine didn't, but I know it did for some. Mine didn't. I've only ever heard of the Benzing bathrooms flooding. Oh, well. Did they in Mac?

Oh, yeah. There are some that were, it's like an ocean in there. I woke up, I had a poster tear off the wall, and I woke up and my face was covered in paint chips and paint dust, and so I breathed in a bunch of paint dust at like two in the morning. Yum, yum, yum, yum. So eventually if I die, I think... That's why.

That's why. Yeah. Speaking of Olds and Galloway, who's your favorite Fundy? Oh my gosh. Yes. Oh, my gosh. I have so many favorites. But also, I want to clarify, like,

I find Fundy to be, like, an endearing term. People use, like, a slur here. Yeah. Like, I think it's, like, a sweet, like, endearing thing to say to someone. Man, I'd say probably... Charles like father

Dave's son I work with him at the context Snyder yeah he's the best he's such a little silly guy

like him to be on the show so bad he would be fun to have on the show I worked with him a lot we went to get food for the parents during the phoneathon

and he was like run around Kroger with like 60 bucks doing mental math to figure out what snacks to get to that for the parents he was like so into it

I appreciate his work ethic and his enthusiasm to work at the contact center because I don't want to work there, but he sure seems like he does. Should we get Jacob on to pitch the contact center and bassoons? His two passions in life. A.T.O. Let's see. What do you think is the most ideal and perfect date that Kirsten could take you on in Hillsdale? Some advice for the young lovers out there. In Hillsdale? Dang. I don't know.

Our first day we went on was just a handmade. That's a good one. It is a good one. They have good gluten-free food for me. Are you gluten-free? Yeah, not by choice. I don't want anyone to think it's by choice. You're not to live.

You're not a lib. No. Yeah. I think I might be developing it. Either that or I have a parasite. Either it's like the same thing, to be honest. Why were you dressed as Ricky Bobby from Talladega night.

Okay, so Hannah Allen and Sarah Potanichick had a retirement party for retirement. And I was in, it was Hunger Games theme. So Sarah was dressed up as Caesar Flickerman and Hannah was dressed up as Effie. And everyone in the chapter for Pyeye was invited to fill. out a form and then they would put you in a district and then you compete at their hunger games. Okay. So, of course, I opted in to be a tribute. I was in district six, which is transportation.

Okay. So I was dressed up as Ricky Bobby. Truman, how would you rate this podcast? How much you liked it? How much you like Kaylee on a scale of one to 35? Kaylee, I'll give you 32.8. Yeah. That's good.

Let's go. I think I like people a little bit more than Truman does. I'm going to give you a 33.9. Let's go. Flying colors. All right. And Kaylee, who should we have on our show next week? Not that we're going to listen.

I know. You guys don't, apparently. I have two names. Ezra Blackwell. Ezra would be great. And Hannah Allen. She's an icon. Both of them are icons in my eyes.

Yeah. All right. Well, thank you, Kaylee. This has been Truman and Claire like people. I'm Truman. And I'm Claire. and we like people.
