Shownotes
This week on A Little Bit Bothered, the girls are catching up with life updates, book club chatter, and the little things that are driving them crazy right now. Kelsie went all out at a Marine Ball, Monica lived her Christmas dreams at the Mariah Carey concert, and now both are paying the price—because nights out in your 30s are a whole different beast. Naturally, this led to a deep dive into how everything just feels harder to recover from these days.
The girls got into the social media trends that give us the ick (seriously, why does nothing feel real anymore?) and share their hot takes on a wild news story about a man faking his own death. With a mix of strong opinions, relatable moments, and plenty of laughs, this episode is everything your group chat should be: fun, honest, and just a little bit bothered.
Welcome to the girls group chat where no topics are off limits and it's like hanging out with your friends.

Speaker C:Where for friends who overshare, laugh too much, and aren't afraid to get a.
Speaker B:Little snarky, we've taken our brutally honest, vulnerable, and downright hilarious conversations from the chat and turned them into a podcast.
Speaker B:Because, honestly, why keep all this entertainment to ourselves?
Speaker D:Whether it's the petty stuff, the deep stuff, or the stuff that makes you wonder.
Speaker D:Did they really just say that?
Speaker D:That we're here to say?
Speaker B:I think we're a little bit bothered.
Speaker B:Hello.
Speaker B:Hello.
Speaker D:It's another week.
Speaker B:We are back.
Speaker B:We are back.
Speaker D:Oh, man.
Speaker D:What has been going on this week?
Speaker A:I'm a little bit bothered by the bomb Kelsey just dropped on us before about how she smoked a cigarette.
Speaker C:Yes, tell us all about it.
Speaker C:Tell all the listeners about your cigarette.
Speaker B:Oh, my gosh.
Speaker B:I was so thrown out.
Speaker B:I was like, excuse me.
Speaker D:I was too.
Speaker A:I was like, she.
Speaker D:You did what?
Speaker B:What did you just say?
Speaker B:Well, we had the ball, and.
Speaker B:And I don't normally drink.
Speaker B:Hardly ever at all.
Speaker B:I think the last time that I got drunk was, like, 20, 21 maybe, I don't know.
Speaker B:And I got drunk, and my friend was like, you want a cigarette?
Speaker B:And I'm like, sure, why not?
Speaker B:Let's go do it.
Speaker B:And so we went outside and we were smoking a cigarette, and then we see, like, we can see, like, our husbands and, like, all the little marines walked around in there looking for us.
Speaker B:And then they came out, and my husband was like, what are you doing?
Speaker B:Like, what?
Speaker B:He was.
Speaker A:Hello.
Speaker B:Are you my wife?
Speaker B:What are you?
Speaker A:Who are you?
Speaker A:Who is this?
Speaker B:Yeah, and so that's what happened.
Speaker B:And now I'm like, hacking up a long day now.
Speaker C:You're hungover, you're tired, your lungs are in pain.
Speaker B:The thing about me is I don't drink for a reason, and that's because I hate the way alcohol makes me feel.
Speaker B:Like I hate it.
Speaker B:Other than, like, the Initial, like, tipsiness.
Speaker B:Everything after that is fucking torture.
Speaker B:I don't like the room spinning.
Speaker B:I don't like anything else about it.
Speaker B:It's terrible.
Speaker B:And I fucking hate it.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:And I can't see you.
Speaker C:Oh.
Speaker B:When I'm drunk, you know, some people are like, oh, yeah.
Speaker B:I fucking just not know.
Speaker B:Not me.
Speaker B:I don't wake up yet.
Speaker B:Not that it wakes me up.
Speaker B:It's like on my body.
Speaker B:But my brain.
Speaker B:My brain is alive and it's.
Speaker B:It's.
Speaker B:I do my greatest overthinking when I'm drunk.
Speaker B:I can become the most hyper aware person of life when I'm drinking and it's awful.
Speaker D:Oh, no.
Speaker C:You're already quite the overthinker.
Speaker C:So that is, yeah, something.
Speaker A:It really is.
Speaker D:Sounds like a very real problem.
Speaker B:My mind is.
Speaker B:That's why I don't drink.
Speaker B:My mind is a dangerous place to be when I'm drinking because I'm just.
Speaker B:I lay in bed and I just contemplate life to the deepest depths of.
Speaker B:It's terrible.
Speaker A:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker C:How come you guys had another ball?
Speaker B:So the first ball was like, he's part of the Naval ROTC at ku and it was the Navy and Marine Corps because they're like, Marine Corps falls into the Navy rotc.
Speaker B:So it was like, they're like college ROTC ball.
Speaker B:Not necessarily.
Speaker C:Oh, that's why it was all the babies.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:And then the Marine Corps ball was what we went to, which is like the actual.
Speaker D:Isn't it like the Marine birthday?
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:The Navy and the Marines birthdays are all of the branches.
Speaker B:Birthdays are kind of close together, but, like, so that's why we were kind of celebrating both birthdays with the rotc.
Speaker B:And that was like a small one, but this one was like the actual Marine birthday ball for the, like, command that they fall under as Marines here.
Speaker B:That was our.
Speaker B:And Marine birthday balls are the best.
Speaker B:Everything else is just lame.
Speaker A:They're fun.
Speaker D:I've been to one once upon a time.
Speaker B:This was the best.
Speaker B:This was the best birthday ball I've ever been to.
Speaker B:And I've been to a lot.
Speaker B:They had.
Speaker B:They had beer pong.
Speaker B:They had a really good dj and they had beer pong and it was really fun.
Speaker A:That's fun.
Speaker B:They normally have.
Speaker B:I've never been to one with games before, but.
Speaker D:Oh, yeah.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker D:So what are we.
Speaker D:What are we bothered by this week?
Speaker A:Yes, I am bothered by the fact that we went to a birthday party yesterday to the trampoline park.
Speaker A:And while we were at the Trampoline park.
Speaker A:I got my period.
Speaker A:That's great.
Speaker A:This couldn't have happened at a better place.
Speaker C:That is bad timing.
Speaker A:Trying to jump and hemorrhaging, like.
Speaker B:Cool.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker D:That is the worst.
Speaker A:I was bothered by a few other things.
Speaker A:Oh, I.
Speaker A:I feel a little bad because at the birthday party, this is a girl that my daughter became friends with when she was in preschool, and now they go to different school schools, but we've, like, still stayed in touch.
Speaker A:The girl had a lot of friends there, and so my daughter felt like she was being a little bit ignored.
Speaker A:Like, you know, there's just, like, a lot going on.
Speaker A:So she was feeling a little bit bad.
Speaker A:There was a couple other girls that she knew from preschool that are in the little friend group that were there, too, so at least she had them.
Speaker A:But everybody was trying to get the birthday girl's attention, you know, so she was.
Speaker A:And she considers the birthday girl her best friend.
Speaker A:So she was a little sad that she didn't really get as much time with her that she wanted.
Speaker A:And I felt so bad.
Speaker A:I was like, oh, she wasn't ignoring you.
Speaker A:She just had a lot of people there that were like, you know, so that.
Speaker A:That kind of.
Speaker A:It didn't, like, bother me, bother me.
Speaker A:Like, this girl was ignoring her.
Speaker A:But I felt bad for my.
Speaker A:Yeah, that is hard.
Speaker D:Like, that's hard even as, like.
Speaker D:Well, I mean, even as like, an adult, like, when you're looking forward to seeing somebody, but, like, it's an event and, like, their attention is being pulled everywhere.
Speaker D:Like, it just is what it is, but it still kind of sucks.
Speaker A:So I feel for her girl, though, the birthday girl.
Speaker A:I think she was just.
Speaker A:She was getting overwhelmed because at one point, everybody was trying to, like, get at her.
Speaker A:And I literally just saw her go like this.
Speaker B:Her little hands on her.
Speaker A:She was just like, oh, my God, what's happening?
Speaker C:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker A:Like, I felt bad for her, too.
Speaker A:I was like, this poor thing.
Speaker A:She's getting bombarded by girls.
Speaker A:Like, so sorry.
Speaker A:And what else?
Speaker A:Oh, I think my eldest daughter has another earache, which will be the second one since we started school.
Speaker A:She keeps telling me that her ear hurts, and I'm like, right, no, it doesn't.
Speaker D:Ongoing illnesses that just evolve from one to the other with kids, which, honestly.
Speaker A:It'S been ongoing illnesses since we moved here.
Speaker A:I think she's allergic to the entire state of Texas, at least the area.
Speaker B:That we live in.
Speaker A:I don't think it's just her.
Speaker D:One more reason to come back to Arizona.
Speaker A:I agree Just saying.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's.
Speaker A:That's what's got me.
Speaker A:Got me a little in a tizzy.
Speaker A:My period is mostly the cause of my tizzy.
Speaker D:Yep, that'll do it.
Speaker A:That was yours last week, wasn't it?
Speaker A:Kelsey, weren't you, like.
Speaker B:Yes, I was, like, actually bleeding out so much.
Speaker A:Same.
Speaker B:Ever since we're.
Speaker B:Maybe it's.
Speaker B:Maybe it's the same thing.
Speaker B:Ever since I stopped breastfeeding, I have been just, like, gushing.
Speaker A:That might actually be it.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Anyway, moving on.
Speaker B:Take your iron.
Speaker A:That's my secret.
Speaker D:Yeah, take your iron.
Speaker D:For real.
Speaker C:Me and Nicole are synced up now because I'm also on my period, and it's very annoying.
Speaker C:Hate it.
Speaker C:Yeah, and it came early.
Speaker C:I was like, wait, I'm actually meant to text you guys that my period came.
Speaker C:Like, I want to say it was, like, a week early on my app, and I was, like, thinking to myself, my period was confused by daylight savings because.
Speaker B:Hello.
Speaker C:Why are you here?
Speaker C:You're not supposed to be here, but.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Excuse me.
Speaker C:Yeah, so I'm bothered by that.
Speaker C:And then the other thing I'm bothered by.
Speaker C:So Walmart started their, like, Black Friday deals.
Speaker C:I don't know if you guys have.
Speaker D:Seen them, which I don't even understand.
Speaker D:Like, why.
Speaker D:What's the point of having deals before Black Friday?
Speaker D:It's not Black Friday.
Speaker C:I don't know.
Speaker C:It was like, Black Friday used to be, like, you know, Black Friday.
Speaker C:Then it started, like, encroaching on Thanksgiving, and now it's like, apparently now this.
Speaker D:Is the whole month of November.
Speaker D:November.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:But deals aren't good as they used to be either.
Speaker D:No, not even close.
Speaker C:Good deals.
Speaker C:But that was the thing that really bothered me was like, you'll be looking at one thing, and it'll say the regular price is, like, 120, and it's on sale for 70 or whatever, you know?
Speaker C:But really, that item is usually, like, 100 bucks, not 120.
Speaker C:I hate when they jack up the original price to make the discount look steeper.
Speaker B:Amazon does that all the time.
Speaker C:It's so annoying.
Speaker C:It's so annoying.
Speaker C:Because there was something.
Speaker D:What was?
Speaker C:I think I was looking at headphones, and they were like.
Speaker C:It was like that exact scenario.
Speaker C:120 is what they said they were regularly, but then on Amazon, they were only.
Speaker C:It's like, why?
Speaker C:Why?
Speaker D:My husband introduced me to a website called.
Speaker D:I think it's Camel.
Speaker D:Camel.
Speaker D:Camel.
Speaker D:And if you put in the link of.
Speaker D:I know.
Speaker D:It's so random.
Speaker D:Camel.
Speaker D:Camel, Camel.
Speaker D:Like the animal.
Speaker D:Camel but when you put in like the length of whatever you're wanting to buy, it will tell you like whether or not that's actually the lowest that it's been like over the last like several years.
Speaker D:So you can actually see is it on sale for real or are they just manipulating you?
Speaker C:Oh, what a good tip for our listeners for their holiday shopping.
Speaker D:I know I was using it last night as I was Christmas shopping.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Oh yes.
Speaker C:Have you guys done a bunch of Christmas shopping or no?
Speaker C:I've done some, which is decent for me.
Speaker B:I'm terrible.
Speaker B:I literally am like every year I'm gonna be better.
Speaker B:I'm gonna start earlier.
Speaker B:I'm gonna just trick trickle my little presents throughout the months.
Speaker B:I never do.
Speaker B:It's like December, halfway through December and I'm like, okay, it's time to get your together and buy some presents.
Speaker D:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker D:We've been a little bit better about it the last couple years because the couple years before that was like literally Christmas Eve.
Speaker D:And we're like, crap, we still don't have presents.
Speaker D:So we've gotten a little bit better.
Speaker A:But, but still I'll get presents for.
Speaker A:Because honestly like since we've had kids, I get presents for my kids and that's it.
Speaker A:I don't care.
Speaker A:I focus on my children and ain't nobody else getting nothing from me.
Speaker C:It's mostly my kids.
Speaker C:I buy stuff for my husband too, but mostly usually just like stocking stuffers.
Speaker C:And then I'll buy like one thing for like my mom, my dad, my brothers, like nothing crazy.
Speaker C:Also I follow these like couple telegram accounts where they share like deals, you know.
Speaker C:Yeah, I did it last year too.
Speaker D:I know.
Speaker B:Same.
Speaker D:They're so overwhelming.
Speaker C:I never turned my telegram notifications on.
Speaker C:But I'll just check it like once a day and look through and there'll be like hundreds of deals that they posted and like I'll just sometimes grab some.
Speaker C:A lot of it is like not great.
Speaker C:But I have gotten like some Pokemon toys and like some Hot Wheels already.
Speaker D:So.
Speaker A:Okay, it's worth it.
Speaker A:This is gonna be so random.
Speaker A:Last year, speaking of those television.
Speaker D:Are we not random?
Speaker A:Yeah, but it's like a random, it's random that I specifically remember that Ashley got this last year from those telegram channels.
Speaker A:She got these air filters, one for her kids room and like, and I.
Speaker A:If you come across them again, send me the direct link because I, I've seen some.
Speaker B:I agree because I, this is how.
Speaker A:I was telling Justin about this.
Speaker A:I was like, we should get some air filters.
Speaker A:And then I remembered, I was like, oh, my God, Ashley got air filters.
Speaker D:How do you know?
Speaker B:You're in your 30s.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:Literally, because you're excited about.
Speaker A:Yeah, well.
Speaker A:And I remembered that she's got them specifically during Christmas time from those telegram chats.
Speaker A:I was like, I need to check those telegram chats again.
Speaker C:Yeah, we have some better ones.
Speaker C:Like, we have some bigger ones that are better and are expensive, but I've seen a couple of, like, the smaller, like, one room size ones, too.
Speaker A:Are these, like, the air purifier?
Speaker C:Like an air purifier?
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what they are.
Speaker C:Yep, exactly.
Speaker A:So let me know if you come across any good deals.
Speaker C:Okay, I will.
Speaker C:I'll share it with you.
Speaker A:I don't know why I remembered that.
Speaker C:With, like, so that is really random.
Speaker A:It was really weird.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Anyways, I'm also bothered that it's Sunday.
Speaker A:Oh, why?
Speaker A:Why are you bothering?
Speaker C:Well, because I have to go back to work tomorrow.
Speaker D:Yeah, same.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker D:I don't want to work tomorrow.
Speaker C:I'm in, like, holiday.
Speaker C:Like, it's the holiday season, and now I don't want to work anymore.
Speaker C:Like, I want to be off until Christmas.
Speaker D:What?
Speaker D:Like, that's been my issue, too, is, like, it's gotten a little bit chilly.
Speaker D:And so, like, we've been sleeping with, like, our windows open because it's been nice.
Speaker D:But then it's, like, so cozy in the morning, and I don't want to wake up and I don't want to work, and I just want to, like, lay in bed and read and be, like, cuddled in my blankets, and it's a real problem.
Speaker B:That's why I'm excited that it is Sunday, because that means Trevor's gonna go back to all his weekly duties and you guys are gonna go back to work and stop fucking reading.
Speaker B:And then I can read my little ass off throughout the week and listen and clean and just be joyful.
Speaker B:And I can catch up with Monica because she's ahead for once.
Speaker C:I'm a whole book behind, as usual.
Speaker B:That's my whole goal for the week, is catch up with Monica.
Speaker D:You won't, because I'm, like, so, like, in it right now.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:You have work and I don't.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker D:But, like, part of the other problem of why, like, I don't want to, like, wake up and start my day is because I'm, like, awake reading way too late.
Speaker B:I plan to wake up in the morning, put my headphones in, and they are not coming out until the end of the day.
Speaker B:So I don't know if you want to do the math on that, but that's at least like, 12 hours of.
Speaker C:What chapter are you guys on?
Speaker C:And we're still on Acotar.
Speaker C:I don't know if we told the people that yet.
Speaker C:Oh, we digress.
Speaker B:What we're bothered by.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:Let's finish what we're bothered by, and then we'll go through our acotar.
Speaker C:I think I'm done.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:And I have a lot of feelings.
Speaker D:So we, like, you actually finished.
Speaker C:She's done.
Speaker A:I'm done with it.
Speaker A:We'll come back to you.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:What are you bothering Monica?
Speaker D:I'm bothered by how exhausted I am.
Speaker D:I mean, partly because I'm just up reading, but also I'm just tired and I feel like it's just me aging and it's sad.
Speaker D:I don't want to be so tired.
Speaker B:I was going to say, is this.
Speaker A:Gonna go in the direction of you being old?
Speaker D:I don't know what it is.
Speaker D:Like, I just.
Speaker D:I've been so tired.
Speaker D:Like, it's just been.
Speaker D:Yeah, I don't.
Speaker D:I literally don't know what it is.
Speaker D:Like, I still get enough sleep.
Speaker D:Technically, I'm just exhausted.
Speaker D:Like, it's just really freaking lame.
Speaker A:I was literally gonna be like, if you say this is because you're old, I'm gonna reach through.
Speaker D:No, it is.
Speaker C:I've been feeling old since my birthday last week, too.
Speaker D:Yeah, no, well, it's that.
Speaker D:And then we have to say about.
Speaker A:Talk about your birthday, because we didn't get talk about on the last one, because that was before your birthday.
Speaker A:So for all the listeners, it was Ashley's birthday.
Speaker A:Happy birthday, Ashley.
Speaker A:If you saw our Instagram, you know that already.
Speaker A:33.
Speaker C:Yep, 33.
Speaker A:Nice.
Speaker C:3.
Speaker A:3.
Speaker A:That's such a round, like, perfect number.
Speaker C:It is a nice number.
Speaker D:It is a nice number.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker C:But I do feel old.
Speaker A:Oh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker A:Stop telling yourself that.
Speaker A:You say I feel young.
Speaker C:I know.
Speaker D:I feel you, though, because I'll.
Speaker D:On my next one, I'm gonna be 30 freaking 5.
Speaker D:That's mid-30s.
Speaker A:That's number two, though.
Speaker A:35.
Speaker D:No, it's done.
Speaker D:It's mid-30s.
Speaker A:I don't want to be mid-30s.
Speaker D:They stay on this side of 30s.
Speaker C:I'm gonna say I'm 33 from now on.
Speaker C:I'm not turning forever, actually.
Speaker D:But, yeah, so, I mean, like, going along with, like, why I'm bothered.
Speaker D:Like, I'm just tired.
Speaker D:So Friday night, I Went to the Mariah Carey concert with my sister.
Speaker D:And it's two days later and I'm.
Speaker A:Still tired from the recovery time on.
Speaker A:A concert is a lot more when you're in there.
Speaker A:It's brutal.
Speaker D:Although I will say, I mean, it wasn't, like a crazy concert.
Speaker D:So it wasn't Christmas, right?
Speaker C:It was Christmas.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker D:But she also did a few of, like, her, like, top hits too, so that was really fun because we weren't expecting that.
Speaker D:And overall, it was just a really fun concert.
Speaker D:Everyone was decked out.
Speaker D:Like, they were either dressed really nice or they were dressed as Christmas.
Speaker D:Like, Christmas themed.
Speaker D:It was so fun.
Speaker D:And then I was actually not expecting her to do this, but, like, at one point, she kind of, like, paused the concert so she could have security go and grab, like, signs from the front row and, like, signed them while she was singing and had somebody come up on stage to take a selfie with her, which, for the diva reputation that she has, I was really not expecting her to do that.
Speaker D:And, like, she took a while too.
Speaker D:Like, she signed several of them.
Speaker D:It was.
Speaker D:It was very interesting, but I thought it was very sweet.
Speaker D:And then her kids were part of the concert too, and they performed with her.
Speaker D:And they're adorable and very talented.
Speaker D:They were really cute.
Speaker C:Yeah, that is cute.
Speaker C:She must have had the Christmas spirit.
Speaker C:That's why she was signing the signs and all the things.
Speaker D:Yeah, I.
Speaker D:Yeah, I think so.
Speaker D:But still, I mean, like, you just don't see that at concerts anymore.
Speaker C:Yeah, I.
Speaker C:I didn't know about that concert going on in Phoenix, but then I saw you going to it, and I saw, like, several other people I knew going to that concert.
Speaker D:Yeah, it was full.
Speaker D:It was definitely a full stadium.
Speaker D:Like, I think it was sold out.
Speaker D:But I had no idea she was coming either.
Speaker D:My sister literally texted me and was like, so you're going to Mariah Carey with me?
Speaker D:And I was like, cool.
Speaker D:So we went.
Speaker D:But it was really fun.
Speaker A:What's happening?
Speaker D:There's a fly.
Speaker B:Of course there is.
Speaker C:Of course there's a fly.
Speaker A:I literally said, I had a feeling.
Speaker C:I had a feeling.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker C:No.
Speaker A:When we were getting on, you walked away for a second and it was just the three of us.
Speaker A:We were waiting for you.
Speaker A:And Ashley goes the crier in the fly.
Speaker A:Oh, no.
Speaker A:Maybe it was Monica.
Speaker A:She was like, the crier, and the fly is just so funny.
Speaker A:And I was like, I wonder if there's gonna be a fly this time.
Speaker A:Like, we have an actor.
Speaker B:I don't know where he Went.
Speaker B:But he was just, like, zooming around in front of me a second ago.
Speaker B:I'm like, you have to be me.
Speaker C:I wonder what our listeners think about you and all your flies.
Speaker D:I know.
Speaker B:I'm the Lord of the Flies, in case you were wondering.
Speaker B:If you thought it was, like, Piggy or whatever that name is, it gets squished by the Rock.
Speaker B:No, it's me.
Speaker A:I've never.
Speaker A:I've never read that.
Speaker A:I've never read that.
Speaker D:I don't remember the plot, but I do remember reading it.
Speaker C:I remember reading it.
Speaker B:I don't actually remember it being the name of the kid that got squished by the Rock, but it's not a nice.
Speaker C:There is a kid with that name in there, right?
Speaker B:Is it Piggy, I think.
Speaker D:I don't remember what happens to him, but, yeah, there is a Piggy.
Speaker C:I don't remember the Rock.
Speaker B:I'm pretty sure they murder him.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker B:Anyways, I'm the Lord of the Flies.
Speaker C:Okay, should we change the name?
Speaker C:Should we change your name?
Speaker D:The crier slash Lord of the Flies?
Speaker A:All right, speaking of crier and her flies, what are you bothered by?
Speaker D:Yeah, tell us.
Speaker B:Well, first of all, I'm similarly bothered by age because I was trying to do the Copperhead Road line dance last night.
Speaker A:Excuse me.
Speaker A:What is that?
Speaker B:There was two, actually.
Speaker B:I just saw them.
Speaker B:If they'd be this week, we're gonna have a problem.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Annie Hoozer.
Speaker B:Copperhead Road.
Speaker B:It's a line dance, but it's not a hard one by any means.
Speaker B:Like, very minimal effort required for this.
Speaker B:I have a video of it I'll share with you guys.
Speaker B:So we'll put it on the thingy because.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:Yeah, I don't know either.
Speaker B:It's very easy.
Speaker B:It's just super easy line dance.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:My calves were on fire after I finished.
Speaker B:I'm like, I should not be this up from the easiest line dance in the world.
Speaker C:You were wearing heels, right?
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:So we're going to say it was the heels.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker D:You're basically dancing on your tiptoes.
Speaker B:The Cha Cha slide didn't do me like that.
Speaker B:Oh, and if you didn't see our Instagram stories, the Cha Cha slide to Charlie Brown.
Speaker B:It was about 50.
Speaker B:50, I'd say.
Speaker B:This time on Charlie Browning.
Speaker B:Into Charlie Browning.
Speaker C:An older crowd.
Speaker B:There were some older.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:So anyways, that.
Speaker B:And then, you know.
Speaker A:No, I don't.
Speaker B:What bothers me is people.
Speaker B:There's this trend going around, and it's like you, my biggest fear is.
Speaker B:And you put your biggest fear on the screen.
Speaker B:And granted, I realize that people maybe not want to actually they're not vulnerable enough to put their biggest fear.
Speaker B:But like, why even participate if you're just going to put like it's not really your biggest fear.
Speaker B:It's like your half ass fear.
Speaker B:Yeah, I don't want to take away from anybody's fears, but like my biggest fear and your biggest fear.
Speaker B:We are not the same.
Speaker B:Because I've seen some really like two different worlds.
Speaker B:Yeah, like your biggest fear is like superficial things.
Speaker C:Well, some people are superficial.
Speaker B:That's very true.
Speaker B:I will say, like, I understand having fears of, you know, of superficial.
Speaker B:Your body changing or like, you know, your money circumstances.
Speaker B:I understand these fears, but like, but.
Speaker A:Are they your biggest?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:No, my biggest fears are like, my child will never learn how to speak or like, you know, things I just.
Speaker C:Things that matter.
Speaker B:Imagine if that was my.
Speaker B:If the things I'm seeing in this trend were my biggest fear.
Speaker B:Oh my God, sign me up for that life.
Speaker B:Because I'm tired of being scared of actually scary things.
Speaker A:Same I on that.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's interesting to see what people's quote unquote biggest fears are.
Speaker C:Mm.
Speaker D:Mm.
Speaker C:You know, a trend I'm not bothered by is the one where it'll be like, well, I think you did it, Kelsey.
Speaker C:It'll be like, like, it'll be like, kids shouldn't have a bedtime.
Speaker C:They should be able to stay up whenever.
Speaker C:And it's just a video.
Speaker A:But then it flips and it's like.
Speaker C:You know, those are so funny.
Speaker D:I do find those funny.
Speaker B:Those are pretty funny.
Speaker B:The tampon one earlier, did you see Taylor.
Speaker B:Did you see Taylor Lautner's.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:She's like, Bella should have chosen with Jacob.
Speaker A:And then it's like, oh, oh, oh.
Speaker C:And it just.
Speaker D:Yes, those.
Speaker D:I freaking love it when actors, like play into like their, their character.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker D:And just like the fan love for it.
Speaker D:I love it.
Speaker A:Which.
Speaker A:Okay, I know jack shit about Taylor Lautner and I know Kelsey.
Speaker A:Has Kelsey parked up?
Speaker C:What do you want to know all about it?
Speaker B:Like to know she has some extensive.
Speaker D:Research that's probably not wrong.
Speaker A:Actually.
Speaker A:Also named Taylor.
Speaker D:Yes, yes, it's Taylor.
Speaker D:Taylor Lautner.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:Oh, I didn't know that either.
Speaker B:There was a late.
Speaker B:Oh.
Speaker B:At the ball last night.
Speaker B:The guest speaker, his name was, his last name was Kelly and his wife's name was Kelly.
Speaker B:So her name is Kelly.
Speaker B:Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.
Speaker B:And I'm like, I'm like, this is so great because sometimes I fantasize about being married to Travis.
Speaker B:Kelsey.
Speaker B:Sorry, honey.
Speaker B:And I'm like, My name would be Kelsey Kelsey.
Speaker B:And she's Kelly.
Speaker B:Kelly.
Speaker B:And yes.
Speaker B:Taylor and Taylor Lautner.
Speaker B:They go by Taylor and Tay.
Speaker B:Boy.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:No, boy.
Speaker B:Taylor girl.
Speaker B:Tay.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I can't.
Speaker C:Kelly.
Speaker C:Kelly.
Speaker C:That might be a deal breaker for me, to be honest.
Speaker A:Literally, you know how when.
Speaker A:Honestly, you know how when, like, at weddings, they'll announce, like, Mr.
Speaker A:And Mrs.
Speaker A:And they'll say the man's name first and their last name and they won't even say the woman's name.
Speaker C:It doesn't matter.
Speaker B:Just be the same for them.
Speaker A:Mr.
Speaker A:And Mrs.
Speaker A:Taylor.
Speaker A:So weird.
Speaker B:It is, but they are actually.
Speaker B:They're very cute.
Speaker B:So I love that Nicole is having.
Speaker D:This reaction because this was the rest of the world, like, several years ago.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:When they.
Speaker B:When this all happened, this definitely was the reaction.
Speaker C:I didn't know her name was Taylor either.
Speaker A:I didn't know her name was Taylor.
Speaker D:I knew he was married, which is even funnier because.
Speaker D:Well, it's even funnier because he had also dated Taylor Swift, so it's not the first time.
Speaker A:There's no way that his new wife is also a Taylor.
Speaker A:Like, he clearly has a type, and the type is Taylor.
Speaker A:That's it.
Speaker D:And it's funny.
Speaker D:It's even more funny because she's also a Taylor Swift fan.
Speaker D:And so the song that's written about him, she's a huge fan of.
Speaker B:She was Team Edward.
Speaker B:She was a twi.
Speaker B:A hard.
Speaker B:Hard.
Speaker B:Twi.
Speaker B:Hard.
Speaker B:And she was Team Edward.
Speaker A:Okay, speaking of Twilight, there is a brand of shoes.
Speaker A:It's called Koi footwear.
Speaker A:They.
Speaker A:They're literally launching an entire Twilight themed shoe collection.
Speaker C:Shut up.
Speaker D:Why?
Speaker C:Okay, like, what?
Speaker B:I don't care.
Speaker A:They actually.
Speaker A:They have boots and, like, a sparkle.
Speaker A:They do.
Speaker A:They have the skin of a killer boots, and they're literally sparkly.
Speaker A:And then they have, like.
Speaker A:They have different names for all of them, but they have, like, Bella's wedding shoe.
Speaker A:And it's like what she thought her dream wedding shoe was, like, in the dream, I guess.
Speaker A:And it's got, like.
Speaker A:It's white, but it also has, like, red for, like, all the vampire blood.
Speaker A:It's actually.
Speaker A:They're actually pretty dope.
Speaker A:Then they have an entire.
Speaker A:So they have the vampire line, then they have the wolf line, and it's all like, quilly.
Speaker D:Furry inspired.
Speaker A:Yeah, some of them are furry, some of them are not.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:So there's one.
Speaker D:The image that came to mind, you know.
Speaker D:You know the book and.
Speaker D:No, no, no.
Speaker D:You know the book in Harry Potter that's like, all furry and you have to, like, stroke.
Speaker A:Yeah, that.
Speaker C:But in Shoe four, I was thinking those, like, giant slippers, you know, that are like really like, fluffy monsters.
Speaker A:I can't have those.
Speaker A:That would be good.
Speaker A:That would be a good addition to the line.
Speaker A:But they're all, like, boots and, like, chunky, like Mary Janes and, like, chunky.
Speaker A:They even have chunky, like, sneakers.
Speaker A:They're super.
Speaker A:They're actually really cute, but.
Speaker A:And it's an entire Twilight line, and I just think it's hilarious.
Speaker C:I'm gonna check that out.
Speaker A:I just heard about it today, so I'll send you guys the reel that I saw because.
Speaker D:Interesting.
Speaker D:I mean, I know that they're, like, wanting to, like, make the animated version and so it must be.
Speaker D:But I mean, I know that the, like, there's still a strong fan base, so I get it.
Speaker D:But it's also, like, strong.
Speaker D:It's a little past the mark at the same time.
Speaker C:It's timeless.
Speaker D:It's time.
Speaker B:It is.
Speaker B:No, just like.
Speaker B:Just like Taylor Lautner.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:Taylor.
Speaker A:Taylor forever.
Speaker B:I can't.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:Gonna bet that dog.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:Speaking of.
Speaker A:Speaking of things that people are obsessed with now, we could talk about our acotar journey.
Speaker A:I'm done.
Speaker A:I finished.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I've reached the finish line for now.
Speaker A:I mean, there.
Speaker A:There's the next one, so we'll see.
Speaker C:Okay, but are you, like, content with where it ended right now or are you, like, dying for the next one?
Speaker A:I'm actually very content.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:That's what I'm heard.
Speaker A:Nesta's like, story, and I thought it was wrapped up very nicely with a pretty little bow.
Speaker A:And I.
Speaker A:I have referred to Nesta as very mean names in the past and I take them back.
Speaker A:So I.
Speaker A:I love my girl Nesta.
Speaker A:I am a nest forever now.
Speaker C:Interesting.
Speaker A:And Cassian and Rhysand are competing for the number one spot in my heart.
Speaker A:I do want more, though.
Speaker A:I want more because I have a lot of questions still.
Speaker A:This book, it ends on a good note for, like, the end of Nesta story.
Speaker A:But there's still a lot hanging in the balance that is unanswered.
Speaker A:And I need to know.
Speaker A:And then I.
Speaker A:I just need to know more about, like, as I need to know more about Asriel.
Speaker A:I need to know what the hell's gonna happen with Elaine and Lucian.
Speaker A:Still don't get any answers about that.
Speaker A:I need to know more about the Morgan.
Speaker A:Like, I just have.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:There's so many things.
Speaker A:I just need to know more.
Speaker B:We were talking about.
Speaker B:We were talking about Acotar at the ball last night because one of the girls has already read it, and she was like.
Speaker B:We were explaining it to our other friend who hadn't.
Speaker B:Hasn't read it yet.
Speaker B:And it's.
Speaker B:We're like.
Speaker B:It's very.
Speaker B:It's like fairies and sex.
Speaker B:It's very sex.
Speaker B:It's fairy smut.
Speaker B:And my friend goes.
Speaker B:She goes, yeah, I actually got pregnant with my child shortly after reading that.
Speaker A:Honestly.
Speaker A:Shortly.
Speaker C:And also hilarious.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:There is an increase of those feelings since reading the book.
Speaker B:For sure.
Speaker D:Oh, my gosh.
Speaker D:Some of my favorite memes and, like, reels and stuff are the ones where it's, like, how everybody else pictured, like, certain characters and, like, how you did.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker B:I love those.
Speaker A:I send you them all the time.
Speaker D:One for me is, like, how everybody else pictures, like, fairies and, like, who they are and, like.
Speaker D:No, I pictured, like, little, like, pixie kind of fairies.
Speaker D:Like, crier.
Speaker D:Okay, well, okay, let me clarify before I read any.
Speaker D:Any of the actual books.
Speaker D:Like, whenever anybody would describe it to me, I was like, just like, little fairies.
Speaker D:Like Tinkerbells.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:That's not how I.
Speaker D:But, nope, it's Bat Boys.
Speaker A:I had the image of, like, Legolas in my brain.
Speaker A:Every time someone says, like a fairy.
Speaker A:No pointy ears.
Speaker D:That is not where I was.
Speaker A:That's where I go.
Speaker A:That's where I go.
Speaker D:Nope, that's not.
Speaker D:That's not what was in my image.
Speaker A:Of Legolas is a good one.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:So not mad about that.
Speaker D:That is a good image.
Speaker D:But that is not where I was.
Speaker D:Mine was like, Ferngoli.
Speaker A:I don't remember what one I sent you for Fern Gully.
Speaker A:Oh, my God, I love that.
Speaker A:Such a good movie.
Speaker A:I think my favorite one had to be the one of the sisters where it's like how everybody picked.
Speaker A:Yes, that's exactly one from Cinderella.
Speaker A:The.
Speaker A:The audio on that, on those reels is what makes them.
Speaker A:Yeah, okay.
Speaker B:Makes it so funny.
Speaker A:The September.
Speaker A:You guys that are listening, if you spend enough time on reels and Tiknaki, you'll know the September one where it's like, September and then it goes to, like, a kazoo sounding of September.
Speaker A:It makes me laugh.
Speaker A:I just love that I could hear it in my brain and then I.
Speaker D:Think, yeah, I feel like reading the series is worth it just for the reels, because they're so.
Speaker A:Yes, yes.
Speaker C:They are so funny.
Speaker A:Honestly, I want to be part of the book talk and bookstagram community.
Speaker A:I just don't know how to infiltrate it.
Speaker D:You're waiting to be invited in?
Speaker A:I want to be invited.
Speaker A:Somebody invite me.
Speaker B:I, like, just don't know.
Speaker A:But that.
Speaker A:I think that comes.
Speaker A:I'll.
Speaker A:Another thing I'm bothered by about lately is just social.
Speaker A:Social media in general.
Speaker A:I can't even speak social media in general.
Speaker A:And I used to be.
Speaker A:That's actually how we all met each other, as we were all heavily involved in social media because we were all part of the same mlm.
Speaker A:And I fell out of the social media part of it so hard, and I can't get back in it.
Speaker A:Even though this is something I would enjoy and this is something I would have fun with, I just like, yeah.
Speaker D:Every time I do too.
Speaker D:And actually for similar reasons of what Kelsey was talking about, because there's trends like that where I.
Speaker D:It just makes me so frustrated because some of, like, the ones like what she's describing, like, I've seen and it's like, that cannot possibly be, like, your biggest fear.
Speaker D:Like, you've got to be kidding me.
Speaker D:But everything is just based off of, like, how many likes are you going to get or how many people are you going to piss off when you say that just to get them to engage with your content.
Speaker D:And so then everything just becomes really annoying.
Speaker D:And I'm like, I don't.
Speaker D:I don't want to be a part of it.
Speaker B:That's my issue is like, I want to show up and be totally authentic.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:I want to.
Speaker B:I want to show just as many bad days as good days.
Speaker B:And, like, I'm not going to bullshit around, but, like, it pisses me off.
Speaker B:We already know it's all a highlight reel, but, like, it pisses me off when it's just fucking can't be.
Speaker B:Just be fucking for real.
Speaker B:Be fucking for real for one minute of your life, like, and stop rage baiting people just to get views, like, really so boring.
Speaker B:Are you really so fucking boring that you have to say you're, like, the meanest things you've ever thought or, like, the most controversial things you've ever thought just to get attention?
Speaker B:Like, are you that boring?
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker B:If I'm that.
Speaker B:I mean, if myself is boring, that's fine.
Speaker B:If I never grow, I'm cool with that.
Speaker B:But at least I didn't have to purposely try to piss people off to grow my following.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:I feel like that's the equivalent of, like, selling out.
Speaker A:Like, you're selling out by Doing that.
Speaker D:Like, yeah, like, of course, obviously the point of, like, trying to grow your account is to, like, have attention.
Speaker D:But I just don't think that we have to do it in a way that makes you an asshole, you know.
Speaker B:I mean, unless you're an asshole.
Speaker D:Unless you are an asshole.
Speaker B:Whatever, I'd be an asshole.
Speaker B:But, like.
Speaker A:But I don't want to be.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker B:I mean, I feel like there's a difference between, like, you're an.
Speaker B:You're an asshole and I feel like you're an asshole in the name of, like, good assholes.
Speaker B:Not like, you're not like a asshole who goes out of your way to, like, hurt people's feelings or piss them off.
Speaker A:Yeah, like, I can be an asshole sometimes, but I don't just do it for the sake of being an asshole.
Speaker B:I swear.
Speaker B:People, like, post something controversial and then it goes viral and that's like a dopamine hit.
Speaker B:And they're like, wow, I'm just gonna keep being a dick for views.
Speaker B:Yeah, no, literally, now, literally, sometimes I'm going to talk about this.
Speaker B:I know it's controversial and, like.
Speaker B:And then I'm like, no, like, and I talk myself out of it because just doesn't feel worth it just to like.
Speaker A:But sometimes you'll do it in a very tasteful way, I think, and you'll do it on your stories.
Speaker A:You don't go out there and make, like, solid content that's gonna be on your profile for the rest of its life.
Speaker A:And anytime you try to, you know, like, address anything controversial, you, at least is what I've seen you do it in a very tasteful way and not in a way of being an.
Speaker A:So, you know, there's.
Speaker D:There's also a difference, though, of, like, posting something controversial and being willing to have a conversation about it with people in the comments who want to talk about it versus posting something controversial.
Speaker D:And then whenever anybody comments their differing opinion, you respond with just hate or just being a jerk or, like, you're not welcome here.
Speaker D:Like, that's the kind of crap that.
Speaker D:That is just exhausting and annoying.
Speaker A:And I also get that too.
Speaker A:Like, when you find your people, you find your people, okay?
Speaker A:And whoever doesn't like that, they can also see their way out and that's fine too.
Speaker A:But it gets.
Speaker A:I think it's just so overwhelming because everybody is doing it constantly.
Speaker A:It's like, you have to all act like this.
Speaker A:Can't we just all, like, have fun?
Speaker A:Like, social media used to place of.
Speaker B:Like, fun things, I think, like, wanting to Create a community of like minded people is not a problem.
Speaker B:But creating a community of like minded people where your whole like minded community is built off of like being an of other people.
Speaker B:Like, yeah, I don't relate.
Speaker B:Can't relate.
Speaker A:Yeah, can't relate.
Speaker A:Can't relate or just like fakeness?
Speaker A:Like I can't, I can't with the fakeness.
Speaker A:Oh, speaking of fakeness, I was going to.
Speaker A:I sent you guys a real earlier about Britney Wisniewski from freaking Love is Blind speaking of fake Internet.
Speaker A:And apparently she just wanted to go on Love Is.
Speaker A:But she has a boyfriend of like four years and she wanted to go on Love is Blind to get more social media followers.
Speaker A:This is, I don't know.
Speaker A:Oh my gosh, this is all legend.
Speaker D:I feel like this season has got to be like the beginning.
Speaker D:Well, not even the beginning, but like very much the.
Speaker D:The end of the show.
Speaker D:Like it's crumbling.
Speaker A:Like this has got.
Speaker C:Who the is vetting these people?
Speaker C:Who's picking the people out that go on to Love is Blind?
Speaker C:Where are they finding them?
Speaker B:It cannot be that hard to find out if they have a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Speaker A:Like, but her boyfriend literally drove her to the airport, dropped her off to go to Love is Blind, said, bye honey, have fun.
Speaker C:And that's like the same thing that happened last season with Trevor.
Speaker A:Trevor?
Speaker A:Yeah, Trevor.
Speaker A:And then when, then when she got back, I guess they were like back together or whatever.
Speaker A:But then she was seen with somebody that I don't even know.
Speaker A:His name is Mod Sun.
Speaker A:I guess he's Avril Lavine's ex boyfriend or something.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker A:He's some somebody.
Speaker A:She was seen with him like in New York going on a date with him, like hand in hand.
Speaker A:And her boyfriend did not know this and it was like, I guess popped up all over his social media and he's just like, what the.
Speaker A:Well, what do you expect?
Speaker A:You literally.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Her to a show for her to date like 15 other dudes and.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:And get engaged, quote unquote to the homeboy.
Speaker A:And I just, I'm like, this is the people.
Speaker A:The things that people will do for social media clout.
Speaker C:They're dogs.
Speaker A:Insane.
Speaker A:Insane.
Speaker D:I feel bad for the people who show up to the show genuinely like looking for love.
Speaker D:Who like, I mean, to want to be on a show like that, like probably means like you've been through it to begin with.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker D:And so I feel bad for them because they're already showing up probably in a pretty vulnerable place and with like parts that are still kind of broken.
Speaker D:Right.
Speaker D:And then to have to be put into an environment mixed with people who are there literally for the most, like, selfish reasons.
Speaker D:Yeah, it's really messed up.
Speaker C:It is messed up.
Speaker A:So crazy.
Speaker A:I mean, all that stuff is alleged.
Speaker A:I mean, I guess it's not alleged that she was with homeboy in New York on a date, but the whole boyfriend stuff, a legend, I don't freaking know.
Speaker D:But interesting.
Speaker A:I just think it's crazy.
Speaker D:It's crazy interesting, but also like.
Speaker D:Okay, but even like, with like, social media being fake like that.
Speaker D:Right.
Speaker D:Like, who even knows if that's real or if that's just another thing that, like, they leaked just to be able to keep her.
Speaker D:Her name relevant.
Speaker C:To keep her relevant.
Speaker C:Yep, for sure.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:That's why I'm saying, like, it was, it was actual that she was seen with Avril's.
Speaker A:Out in public.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:But the other stuff behind it, I.
Speaker C:Don'T know, the might not be true.
Speaker A:I don't know if there's any validity behind that because again, it could just be.
Speaker A:Let's add it to the story so that I am seemingly interesting.
Speaker C:I do think that if you genuinely are like, pissed off by certain people on social media though, or like the certain types of content like that you see, which, like, I'm also guilty of this.
Speaker C:Like, you have the power to change your algorithm and like block people or mute people you don't want to see.
Speaker C:You know what I mean?
Speaker C:Like, that is possible.
Speaker C:It's just, it's sometimes it's like, I guess easier said than done.
Speaker B:It's possible, but it's like, it's a lot of them.
Speaker B:That's true.
Speaker D:It's true.
Speaker B:My Tick tock.
Speaker B:I've got my tick tock pretty, like, refined.
Speaker B:I rarely get pissed off on my tick Tock anymore.
Speaker B:Like, it's got me figured out.
Speaker B:But Instagram don't.
Speaker C:Tick Tock's algorithm is.
Speaker C:Is very smart.
Speaker C:Like, it adapts, I feel like, very quickly and like, very accurately, whereas the other ones are slower.
Speaker A:For me, I feel like my Instagram has me dialed in.
Speaker A:But I spend a lot more time on Instagram than I do Tick Tock.
Speaker B:I guess maybe it's not my Instagram.
Speaker B:It's not the random reels I see on Instagram maybe so much as, like, my feed of, like, people.
Speaker C:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker C:You should get rid of them.
Speaker D:Yeah, well, it's interesting because, like, my regular feed, I very rarely will scroll through because I get annoyed.
Speaker D:What I end up doing is I end up on a reel and then I'm just scrolling through the reels.
Speaker B:This is probably a me problem, but, like, I don't, like, I feel like I don't.
Speaker B:I don't want to be.
Speaker B:I feel like I'm more like them if I am, like, just blocking them out of my life because I don't agree with them.
Speaker B:You know what I mean?
Speaker C:Well, if you don't like seeing it and you're.
Speaker C:Then what's the point?
Speaker C:You know what I mean?
Speaker C:Like, if it's really has you in a place where you're, like, feeling stuck in social media, when you want to be on social media and doing things on social media, then why are they there?
Speaker C:Then why are you holding on to them?
Speaker C:Like, what?
Speaker B:Yep.
Speaker D:For what, you guys?
Speaker C:For what?
Speaker A:I'll say a little bit.
Speaker A:I'm not going to go into too much because this is like, my real personal life, so I won't go.
Speaker A:But go there.
Speaker A:But you guys know, like, there are certain people that I had to completely block on all platforms and log into our shared platforms as a show and block those certain people from looking there too.
Speaker A:Unfortunately, I can't block them from listening to this thing or I would, because I just don't want them infiltrating.
Speaker B:Can we.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker A:I don't want them infiltrating my life anymore.
Speaker A:And so, like, I am all for the.
Speaker A:If it's taking up space in your head, get rid of it.
Speaker A:Like, just get rid of.
Speaker C:I did.
Speaker B:I deleted Facebook for, like, a week and a half.
Speaker B:And it was really.
Speaker B:I hardly ever wanted to go on there.
Speaker B:I just.
Speaker B:Yeah, that wasn't that bad.
Speaker B:But Instagram's a little harder, I guess.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker A:I don't think you have to put yourself through that feeling that you feel when you're like, oh, it doesn't make you better than them.
Speaker A:If I just like them out, it does.
Speaker A:When was the last time, if you're.
Speaker C:Thinking about someone and you're like, when was the last time this person, like, brought me value or, like, some kind of joy by seeing them online?
Speaker C:Like, and if it's not there and it's not recent, then it's like, well, time to go.
Speaker A:Who's that?
Speaker A:Maybe.
Speaker B:But I don't want to live in, like, an echo chamber of my own.
Speaker B:Like, I actually think it would put.
Speaker C:You somewhere more realistic of what real, like, other, like, our friends who aren't doing social media as, like, a job.
Speaker C:Like, more real life.
Speaker C:What they see, like, when I was in Saint and going hard and Saint, all I saw was other doing their makeup, doing stuff.
Speaker C:You know what I mean?
Speaker C:And it's like, oh, my God.
Speaker C:Everyone's watching people do their makeup all day, and I'm like, no, it's just me.
Speaker C:Like, you need to get out of your own circle.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker D:Yeah, that is true.
Speaker A:I agree.
Speaker A:I definitely agree.
Speaker D:I think that there's also a difference, though, of, like, the people showing up in your feed that might have different opinions, and are they sharing them in a respectful way?
Speaker D:Because I know you, and I know that you have the capacity to sit and have a conversation that you disagree with somebody, and.
Speaker D:And that's very different from what a lot of these things showing up in our feeds are, is it's people who.
Speaker D:Who can't match that, who don't want to have the conversation.
Speaker D:And if that's the case, I don't think that you need to hold space for them.
Speaker D:You know, I think it's absolutely okay to clear them out.
Speaker A:Listen to her.
Speaker A:She's the therapist.
Speaker A:Therapist coming in.
Speaker A:You're allowed to not hold space for these people.
Speaker A:So do it.
Speaker D:If you were sitting in front of somebody, sharing their.
Speaker D:Their opinions and the way that they do on social media, like, we would never tolerate that.
Speaker D:We would absolutely, like, walk out.
Speaker D:And so why do we allow that to be?
Speaker B:Have you met me?
Speaker B:I absolutely would not know.
Speaker A:You wouldn't?
Speaker D:Okay, maybe not in the moment, but then afterwards, you'd be like, block.
Speaker B:I would come to you guys, and I'd be like this.
Speaker B:Did you do anything else?
Speaker B:No, I sat there pleasantly and listened to them be awful.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker D:But then you probably wouldn't go and hang out with them again.
Speaker C:And she's doing it right now on her social media.
Speaker C:We know what would happen.
Speaker B:I have gotten better in, like, the last, like, ever since I turned 29 and then 30.
Speaker B:Like, I feel like I've slowly gotten better about, like, I'm not gonna be.
Speaker B:I'm not gonna, like, fight you, and I'm not gonna be disrespectful to you if you're, like, disrespectful.
Speaker B:But I am gonna say something.
Speaker B:I'm gonna, like, say what I think whether, you know, usually if it's a situation where I'm like, it's not that big of a deal and I'm gonna be out of it in a minute, it's like, whatever.
Speaker B:But if I'm sitting here having a conversation, you just blatantly say something that I disagree with or, like, I think is rude.
Speaker B:Like, I'm gonna be like, yeah, well, I know.
Speaker B:Sorry.
Speaker B:I don't really agree, but that's huge for me because I am a people pleaser down to my very, very core.
Speaker D:I know.
Speaker D:I'm with you.
Speaker D:It's so funny because, like, the therapist part of me is like, this is what you need to do.
Speaker D:And then, like, the personal part of me, I'm like, that sounds scary.
Speaker B:Yeah, I would like to avoid this at all.
Speaker B:Cause.
Speaker A:Okay, speaking of Kelsey's tick tock, she sent us something quite disturbing the other day.
Speaker A:Kelsey, can you please tell us what you sent us?
Speaker A:Oh, wait, dude.
Speaker B:Oh, is that the.
Speaker B:Dude, I thought you were talking about the parrot tongue.
Speaker D:Oh, God, that was so terrible.
Speaker D:That was so terrible.
Speaker B:Well, since we're here.
Speaker B:Wait.
Speaker A:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:That has to be AI because I've seen a lot of bird tongues, and I've never seen anything that didn't look.
Speaker B:I feel like usually you can, like, tell when something's AI Though, because it looks like almost too real.
Speaker B:Like.
Speaker B:Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker D:That looked like maybe there was something wrong with them.
Speaker B:I'll do some research on it.
Speaker B:But this, it was like, a video, and this parrot's tongue comes out, and then it, like, explodes.
Speaker B:It looks like an alien tongue.
Speaker B:It, like, expands out with, like, little, like, feelers on it.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:I lit.
Speaker B:I've never felt so uncomfortable by, like, a video of an animal or really anything.
Speaker C:You send a lot of uncomfortable videos.
Speaker C:I don't know what you were talking about.
Speaker A:Parrot tongue.
Speaker A:This is not what I was talking about.
Speaker B:Gave me the heebie.
Speaker A:And I've also never seen a fuzzy parrot tongue before.
Speaker C:I'm looking up the parrot like that.
Speaker B:Yeah, they're not.
Speaker A:My mom had a.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:Why can't I think what it's called?
Speaker B:Maybe it was an alien parrot pretending to be a parrot.
Speaker B:It was an alien.
Speaker D:See, this is the problem with AI as much as I.
Speaker D:I love chat and everything, this is the problem with AI we don't know what realism taken over.
Speaker B:Oh, my gosh.
Speaker B:Facebook.
Speaker B:That's one of the reasons why I can't have Facebook is because these people be sharing AI and they're like, oh, my gosh.
Speaker B:It's like, this is not real, Janet.
Speaker C:People can't stop sharing.
Speaker B:Can you not tell it's not real?
Speaker B:Are you kidding me?
Speaker B:It doesn't even look real.
Speaker C:They can't decipher they're being tricked, you know?
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker B:You know what?
Speaker A:I see it so much of.
Speaker A:And this happens to me on my Tick Tock.
Speaker A:I don't know why.
Speaker A:My Tick Tock is doomsday.
Speaker A:Everything I don't know.
Speaker C:That would kill me.
Speaker B:Because it doesn't shock me for you.
Speaker D:No, it does not shock me at all.
Speaker A:The curiosity got the cat and so, like, I am so curious when it comes.
Speaker D:Yeah, you liked one video and Tick Tock was like, we got you.
Speaker B:We got you.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:I have been seeing so many videos.
Speaker A:Have y'all seen the man behind the moon?
Speaker D:No.
Speaker A:From your silence, I'm going to guess no.
Speaker A:People have been claiming they see a face behind the moon and homie looks like a statue.
Speaker A:Like a big.
Speaker A:But his head is bigger than the moon, bitch.
Speaker A:I'm gonna find a video and I'll send it to you.
Speaker C:Have you seen it?
Speaker C:Have you looked behind the moon?
Speaker A:This bitch, I look at the moon all the time.
Speaker A:There's no fucking behind the moon.
Speaker B:Behind it.
Speaker B:How do you.
Speaker B:I don't know what you mean.
Speaker A:Behind, like, looking upon the moon and from the light of the moon, you can see the light on his face.
Speaker A:Like, if my microphone is the moon, he's gazing at the moon.
Speaker A:People are like, oh, my God, it's the Titans.
Speaker D:And Photoshop is a very interesting tool.
Speaker C:Not believable.
Speaker D:That's what I said.
Speaker A:I was like, y'all think there's just like.
Speaker D:But I mean, there's people who think the world is flat.
Speaker D:So, like, are we really.
Speaker B:I don't want to go there.
Speaker A:I don't want to go there.
Speaker A:Well, we're not going there.
Speaker C:You guys, I could listen.
Speaker B:No, you can't be convinced that the world is flat.
Speaker B:Stop.
Speaker B:Stop it, stop it, stop it.
Speaker B:This is where.
Speaker B:Stop it.
Speaker B:We have to know this conversation flat.
Speaker C:We are divided.
Speaker B:We are divided.
Speaker D:Stop it.
Speaker B:Stop, stop, stop.
Speaker B:No, no, no.
Speaker A:We're not going to talk about the flat Earth.
Speaker A:Because.
Speaker A:Because for a long time I was like, nah, the earth's round.
Speaker A:And then I saw some things and I was like.
Speaker C:Why are you so convinced?
Speaker C:Why are you so convinced it's round?
Speaker D:So many reasons.
Speaker A:I want to talk about the man behind the moon.
Speaker A:And then I want Kelsey to tell.
Speaker B:Us about her up algorithm.
Speaker B:Guys, there are so many conspiracies I can get behind, but the flat Earthers just.
Speaker C:I will say.
Speaker D:I will say the flat Earthers, like, when you listen to them, some of them sound very convincing.
Speaker D:And you're like, okay, I see where you're going with this, but you're still wrong.
Speaker C:There is logic.
Speaker B:Places I'M going to get so rich and I'm going to shoot myself up in a rocket just so I can come back down and tell you, please.
Speaker A:Take me with you.
Speaker B:I will.
Speaker B:That is the only reason I want to go.
Speaker B:It's the only reason I want to go.
Speaker B:So let me.
Speaker A:Let me see for myself with my own eyes.
Speaker D:This was not a line I ever thought that this group would get divided on.
Speaker C:I could have.
Speaker C:I knew it.
Speaker B:I think I knew it because I think I said early on.
Speaker B:One time when we were talking about conspiracies early on, I think I said, I can't with the flat Earthers.
Speaker B:And I'm pretty sure those two went silent.
Speaker B:We literally were like, oh, we can, we can.
Speaker A:But also, me and Ashley can get into the conspiracy.
Speaker C:Listen, you get into enough conspiracies and enough things makes you.
Speaker C:You have to question everything.
Speaker C:I just.
Speaker C:I will question everything.
Speaker C:I'm not saying the Earth is flat.
Speaker C:I'm just saying I would entertain the discussion because so many things.
Speaker B:I will entertain the discussion, but I will.
Speaker B:I'm not gonna agree with the flatter thing.
Speaker A:To be 100 honest, I don't think we know jack.
Speaker A:Okay, So I will entertain a lot of things.
Speaker A:I will entertain a lot of theories.
Speaker A:I will.
Speaker A:I will.
Speaker A:I enjoy seeing both sides of everything because I think it's fun.
Speaker A:And I truly believe we will not have the answers until we perish.
Speaker C:So I believe society is built on lies.
Speaker D:And well, yes, I think all of that is true too.
Speaker D:But the.
Speaker D:The flat Earth is just one that I cannot get by.
Speaker D:I will.
Speaker D:Uncomfortable theories, though I do find them fascinating.
Speaker D:No, I just.
Speaker A:No, wait.
Speaker A:And I did not.
Speaker A:Nobody, nobody come for me because I did not fact check this.
Speaker A:And I'm going to say this right now.
Speaker A:Oh, no, I did zero fact checking.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:But something I heard about the flat Earth thing made me laugh, kind of.
Speaker A:It's not really about flat Earth.
Speaker A:It's more about.
Speaker A:It's more about NASA.
Speaker A:NASA?
Speaker A:The person that releases all their images.
Speaker A:I cannot remember his name again, don't fact check me.
Speaker A:I just saw this on a tick tock and I thought it was interesting.
Speaker A:The person that releases all of their images that they have of space and from space is allegedly the same person that invented and created Photoshop.
Speaker A:And as soon as I heard that, I went, oh, well, that's interesting.
Speaker A:I did not fact check it.
Speaker B:I know, but this is my thing with.
Speaker B:This is my thing with all conspiracies is that the conspiracies are so many are based on the fact that you think that somebody's lying to you.
Speaker B:But it also could be the people fueling the conspiracies that are lying.
Speaker B:So it's like the conspiracies are conspiracies and the.
Speaker B:Yeah, everything.
Speaker B:This is why I don't go down this very dark.
Speaker D:I believe nothing because everything.
Speaker C:The people.
Speaker C:You have to just think for yourself.
Speaker C:You have to.
Speaker C:You have to just decide.
Speaker B:Other side could be lying to you.
Speaker B:So could the others.
Speaker C:Yes, everyone could be and is lying to you.
Speaker B:It's all madness.
Speaker B:It's all crazy.
Speaker B:Will not.
Speaker D:There's.
Speaker D:There's a lot of things where I will entertain the perspectives, but at the end of the day, whether the earth is flat or it's round, I don't really care.
Speaker D:Make a difference in my day to day life.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's.
Speaker A:That's another thing.
Speaker A:I'm like.
Speaker A:It doesn't actually affect my day to day life, so I don't actually care.
Speaker A:I would be terrified too if I saw a face behind the moon.
Speaker A:But I've looked at the moon and I didn't see my face.
Speaker B:Sometimes I think I see a face on the moon.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker B:Like sometimes it looks like there's like.
Speaker A:A face I can like with the craters and stuff.
Speaker B:No, no.
Speaker A:They are saying behind the moon there is a man looking upon the moon, checking in on us.
Speaker A:Like, hey, what's that?
Speaker B:That's crap.
Speaker A:That's a lot.
Speaker A:You're crazy.
Speaker A:You out of your.
Speaker C:That's too much.
Speaker B:Anyways, hear it.
Speaker B:A little bit bothered.
Speaker B:We will hear all sides of the story openly.
Speaker B:I will however, you know, we will disagree sometimes, but we will be respectful.
Speaker C:To believe the things.
Speaker A:Please, please fly.
Speaker B:Oh my goodness.
Speaker B:I think we just.
Speaker B:I think.
Speaker B:I think that we just believe different things.
Speaker B:Not that we.
Speaker D:This is going to be like the thing that like makes us go viral is Nicole being a flat Earth.
Speaker B:No, she's like, don't put me in that box quite yet.
Speaker B:Don't really label me a flat Earther.
Speaker B:But like, I don't know.
Speaker A:I just don't know.
Speaker A:I'm.
Speaker B:I don't know anything open.
Speaker B:The difference between me and you guys is that I don't know.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And like, I would rather be blissfully unaware of a lot of things.
Speaker B:Some things you gotta.
Speaker B:You gotta get into.
Speaker B:But like, there are some things I just can't go there because, like, yeah, like, did we go to the moon?
Speaker B:I don't want to know.
Speaker B:I don't care.
Speaker B:It has no bearing on my life.
Speaker B:I'm not Gonna spend hours going down this spiral until we go to the moon.
Speaker B:Because I can't live like that.
Speaker A:And I'm thoroughly convinced that we may not have.
Speaker B:So I can't let that consume my brain because it will.
Speaker B:You guys know how much I overthink.
Speaker B:If I were to dive into these things, God, I would never see the light.
Speaker C:Never come out the other side.
Speaker B:No, I just choose to live.
Speaker D:Yeah, you know your limits.
Speaker A:I am going to put an open invitation out there for anybody that wants to slide into my idms with conspiracy theories.
Speaker A:So much fun.
Speaker A:Please.
Speaker A:Ashley is open to am I.
Speaker A:Tell us all the conspiracy theories.
Speaker D:I find them fascinating to listen to.
Speaker D:I will always listen to them.
Speaker A:Okay, Ashley and I will come tell you about it then.
Speaker B:But yes, I.
Speaker B:You guys, I have a friend that.
Speaker B:She has a book, Stagram.
Speaker B:But also she's like a major conspiracy theorist.
Speaker B:You would love her.
Speaker B:You should go follow her.
Speaker A:Great.
Speaker A:I will send you her handle.
Speaker B:Shout out.
Speaker B:Caitlyn, Sending them your way.
Speaker A:Caitlin.
Speaker A:Yes, we can hang out.
Speaker B:We'll have you on the podcast.
Speaker D:Yeah, I just, I think that there's a lot of things in the world that like one is just.
Speaker B:It's.
Speaker D:It's not important for us to really know and like that we're not supposed to know.
Speaker D:Like, we're not supposed to know all of the things that are happening all over the world all at once.
Speaker D:You know what I mean?
Speaker D:Like, not when it, like the only thing that actually matters is like what's in front of you.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Anyway, the thing, the disturbing other.
Speaker B:Goodbye, bye to the conspiracy.
Speaker B:We'll enter a different kind of conspiracy because this could be a conspiracy.
Speaker B:This guy.
Speaker B:One I'm more willing to delve into because it's a little less.
Speaker B:I like crisis of the world kind of deal or surface level information.
Speaker B:Very surface level.
Speaker B:This, this, this guy.
Speaker B:Married, wife, children, happy family.
Speaker B:Supposedly goes out on a kayak, capsizes kayak, goes missing, presumed dead.
Speaker B:He had also taken out a life insurance policy shortly.
Speaker D:Oh, he's a red flag.
Speaker A:Yes, number one.
Speaker B:And then turns out maybe not actually dead.
Speaker B:His information was like ran through the system at the Canadian customs.
Speaker B:After all of this supposedly when he was dead.
Speaker B:And so now he's supposedly maybe in Umbekistan.
Speaker B:I can't say it.
Speaker B:Say it.
Speaker B:Somebody say it.
Speaker B:Because now you got me all up.
Speaker B:Uzbekistan.
Speaker B:You got me all up with all this.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:I'm unprepared.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Uzbekistan.
Speaker B:Sorry.
Speaker B:Please don't come for me.
Speaker B:I'm just.
Speaker B:I'm just a dumb blonde all Right, it's fine.
Speaker C:She had a cigarette last night, guys.
Speaker B:I had a cigarette.
Speaker B:This is the whole thing.
Speaker D:Her brain cells are regenerating.
Speaker B:I, Yeah, I poisoned myself with alcohol and I.
Speaker B:And I smoked a cigarette.
Speaker B:So I actually smoked like one and a half.
Speaker B:So really I'm not.
Speaker C:Well, I'm chain smoker.
Speaker B:I ruined a lot of brain cells.
Speaker B:So anyways, Uzbekistan is supposedly where he is.
Speaker B:And then this video surfaces, which this is the only that's wild in la where this street girl, this girl's like recording on the street.
Speaker B:She like asks people questions.
Speaker B:She's like, can I give you advice?
Speaker B:And she's like a tick tock.
Speaker B:And he's like, should I go to Uzbekistan?
Speaker B:And the guy looks a lot like him.
Speaker B:He really does.
Speaker B:And she's like, what?
Speaker B:Well why?
Speaker B:And he's like, just because.
Speaker B:And she's like, like, you don't have family there.
Speaker B:And he was like, no, there's a woman there.
Speaker B:And she was like, oh, well, I don't know what she said.
Speaker B:But then he's like, well, I'm married.
Speaker B:Like he goes on to say like, I have, I'm married.
Speaker B:And she's like, oh, are you getting a divorce?
Speaker A:And he was like, yeah, no, no.
Speaker D:He'S an empty nester.
Speaker B:Well then why would you go to meet a woman?
Speaker B:Oh, empty nest.
Speaker B:And she's like, like your kids.
Speaker B:What is, what does that have to do with the fucking price of tea in China?
Speaker B:And that's one of my favorite sayings, by the way.
Speaker B:I always say the price of rice in China.
Speaker B:And Trevor's like, it's the price of tea.
Speaker B:And I'm like, yeah, I've always said rice.
Speaker B:So I don't know, we could be divided on that.
Speaker C:Maybe never heard the rice.
Speaker B:I mean, I've said it my whole life.
Speaker B:I don't know, somebody said it to me.
Speaker D:I don't know if I've ever heard it until right this minute.
Speaker B:The price of tea or just the price of rice or the whole thing.
Speaker B:The price.
Speaker B:You've never heard.
Speaker C:Never heard the price of tea.
Speaker B:Oh, okay.
Speaker B:Well, I, I think.
Speaker B:Okay, anywho, so this video, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker B:And she's he's basically like, should I go to Pakistan?
Speaker B:I'm married, got kids, blah, blah.
Speaker B:But then I was like, oh wow, this is.
Speaker B:Blows the lid off of it.
Speaker B:He's guilty.
Speaker B:Then they, the police come out and they're like, that's not him.
Speaker B:They did like facial comparison.
Speaker B:Their ears don't match.
Speaker B:They have different ear structures.
Speaker B:Completely interesting.
Speaker B:Wasn't him.
Speaker B:But can you believe the, like, similarities he had?
Speaker B:I mean, they obviously know this guy probably went to Uzbekistan.
Speaker B:Like, they can trace it back that he was talking to this girl, but, like, that a man had an exact same conversation somewhere across the country with somebody.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:What are the odds?
Speaker B:That's weird.
Speaker C:Or the girls in Uzbekistan, like, doing a.
Speaker C:Like, is it.
Speaker C:It's like, a thing they're trying to.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:I was gonna say I have some white married man.
Speaker C:They're.
Speaker C:Yeah, they're, like, you know, recruiting men from America.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:For real?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker C:Yeah, that's very possible.
Speaker A:Or did.
Speaker C:Did this happen?
Speaker C:Like, he went out on the kayak and then this all went down, and then this girl found a dude that looked like him.
Speaker C:And did they.
Speaker D:I was curious about that.
Speaker B:Like, maybe this predated.
Speaker B:This video just got re.
Speaker B:Like, she maybe sent it in because it, like, predated his death.
Speaker D:Just as, like, information to help.
Speaker B:I think maybe.
Speaker B:I don't.
Speaker B:I didn't dive.
Speaker C:Well, I'm sure that's how she would want it to look if that was.
Speaker C:If it was, like, you know, made or whatever.
Speaker C:Yeah, because that seems so.
Speaker C:That is so unlikely.
Speaker B:She's probably giving her a lot of traction right now.
Speaker B:So maybe that is.
Speaker B:She probably is.
Speaker B:Everything's fake.
Speaker B:Nothing's real.
Speaker B:Who fucking knows?
Speaker B:That's what we're learning.
Speaker C:So maybe that man's really dead and someone stole his identity in Uzbekistan.
Speaker B:But for him to like, die, and then, like.
Speaker B:I mean, like, they planned to kill him then because.
Speaker B:To just, like, take his identity and go straight over from, like, across the Canadian border, and then that part is weird.
Speaker C:Unless they're just looking at death, like, you know, like, who died.
Speaker C:If you needed a.
Speaker C:Yeah, just a.
Speaker B:Snatch and go situation.
Speaker C:If you needed to.
Speaker C:To scram, you'd have to, like, someone.
Speaker B:I think the police have, like.
Speaker B:No, no.
Speaker B:I think the police, like, formed this theory based on, like, his communications.
Speaker B:Like, they know he communicated with.
Speaker C:That he had a girl.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:So they're saying that these two events, this video of the girl and the guy on the bike talking about him going to Uzbekistan or whether he should stay and the man that actually faked his own death to go to Uzbekistan are completely two different events.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker D:That's wild.
Speaker A:Diabolical.
Speaker A:That's wild.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker D:That's very wild.
Speaker C:Just get divorced and go.
Speaker C:What is the.
Speaker D:Because they need the life insurance policy.
Speaker A:But I got it anyway.
Speaker C:For his wife.
Speaker C:His.
Speaker C:His wife must have got the life insurance.
Speaker A:So he really.
Speaker C:So he did her a solid.
Speaker C:He wanted to give her some money before he ditched her.
Speaker D:Either that, either that, that.
Speaker D:That was like his guilty conscience, like making sure she was gonna be okay, or he knew he was going to still have access online to the bank accounts.
Speaker A:Maybe because he still have like logins.
Speaker B:He'D have to steal it and then I would give him away.
Speaker B:I think that he was alive, so.
Speaker D:Well, yeah, but he would be in another country, so he wouldn't care.
Speaker D:He'd get it transferred into other accounts.
Speaker B:Well, that was another thing You're.
Speaker B:You're unlocking things that I forgot.
Speaker B:He had transferred money to an overseas account before he died.
Speaker A:Yeah, but I do think that maybe.
Speaker A:So maybe he transferred money to an offshore account and then took the life insurance policy out because he was taking all his money with him and wanted to leave his wife something behind because he felt guilty.
Speaker B:Maybe.
Speaker A:But when you fake your death and you have an insurance policy, and whoever gets the insurance policy, when, if they find out you're alive, they take that money back, like you didn't die.
Speaker A:You don't get to have this fraud.
Speaker A:And then somebody goes to jail, usually.
Speaker A:So I'm interested to see how this plays out.
Speaker C:Imagine being married and raising a whole ass family until the children leave.
Speaker C:So you've been together.
Speaker D:It happens a lot.
Speaker C:It happens a lot.
Speaker C:This is the person you were married to.
Speaker C:They faked their death and moved to it.
Speaker D:I mean, the faking, the debt, that doesn't happen a lot.
Speaker D:But the divorce happens a lot.
Speaker B:Rather that then.
Speaker B:Well, I've seen the family annihilators.
Speaker B:Like, I'm like, yeah, I cannot get.
Speaker B:I cannot comprehend.
Speaker B:I'm like, I would rather you fake your death and leave and go to another country.
Speaker B:Then.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:You must question your whole life.
Speaker C:Like, who have I been married to this whole time?
Speaker C:Like everything's a lie.
Speaker B:Well, usually you get to question your whole life because you didn't murder you and everyone that you live with.
Speaker B:For real.
Speaker D:Yes, but usually.
Speaker A:Listen to too much true crime.
