Giggling about geosexuals, gray hair, and invisible ink
51m 31s
The host shares a whirlwind of chaotic yet joyful experiences, starting with a near-miss incident involving a dump truck damaging city wires, which leads to a tense emergency call and a humorous confrontation with Verizon. Amid the chaos, she reflects on her own growing confidence and social life, particularly during a vibrant Sports Illustrated weekend where she forms new friendships, loses multiple items, and navigates the stress of being in unfamiliar social environments. She humorously recounts her failed attempt to use a Wi-Fi hotspot, earning her a runner-up spot in a "Women of Stem of the Week" contest. The episode also includes light-hearted anecdotes about wedding mishaps, body image, and personal habits, such as graying hair and the myth of plucking grays causing more to grow. A discussion about a controversial documentary on a teen car crash adds depth, exploring themes of autonomy, media bias, and toxic relationships. The narrative balances self-deprecation with insightful observations on female empowerment, social dynamics, and the unpredictability of life in one’s 30s. Ultimately, it’s a celebration of resilience, spontaneity, and the small, often absurd moments that define personal growth and connection.
(upbeat music) - Sup, giggler. - Fairy, fix your Wi-Fi. - Man, if I said shit, we can't be manners. (laughing) (upbeat music) - I'm in the day, just gotta wait for me. - What do you giggle you about? - Just everything, our lives, just everything, all, everything. - Can you tell them what happened this morning? - So I'm just minding my own business. I'm about to start the pie. - I don't say anything, I don't do anything. - I don't do anything. - And this dump truck drives down the street and literally-- - Me? (laughing) - Suddenly this huge dump truck starts backing up into me. - So stupid, that's so funny. - So this dump truck literally drives down the street, takes out every wire in its path. Like was way too big to be like driving down the street and the wires were kind of like hanging low. - But doesn't it do that same route every day? - No, I have no idea. I don't know what happened. - The men have lost it. - Yeah, it's like guys, it's the one thing you do. It's like logistics of the trash, are you kidding? Are you kidding? - No, it's actually two men I looked. It was a man in the front seat driving in the past year. - Oh, so two of them. - So the wires are like broken and on the street and I'm like, my first incident is like, we're all gonna blow up. Like you can't drive over wires. What if they're like live and like there's electricity running through them, whatever. - Like when you're cutting a bomb, like here? - Yeah, basically. - Like if you get the blue, it could all go south. - So call Verizon, Verizon's like, sorry, can't come till tomorrow. I'm like, no, unacceptable. Call the police. (laughing) - I said, can I speak to your manager? The president. - I literally said to Verizon, oh, bet, I'm calling your boss. - I think of what's the emergency. Men were being dumb outside. - The police were like, no, that absolutely is an emergency. Like we'll send someone over to like move them out of the way, make sure it's not dangerous and then like, Verizon has to come. - So, Verizon came like within the next couple of hours, but I was like, this is ridiculous. - We were supposed to record the pod and I'm literally about to set up and Paige is like, hey, Tom Chow just broke my wifi and I go, at least get creative with it. I'm appreciative that you made up a creative story. Normally it's a UTI. - Hannah did say, I knew you were gonna think I was lying, so I did take a video, I just didn't send it because there was nothing of interest. But Hannah did say I could be one of the nominees for Women of Stem of the Week if I could figure out how to hotspot. - But I couldn't. - But alas, here we are, the wifi is restored. I could not figure out that hotspot. - But you still got runner up of Women of Stem of the Week, which I'm really proud of before, it was a hard day. - Actually, I feel like you're my Women of Stem of the Week because the amount of outfits you put together in one week and honey. - You must be so tired. - The emotional stress of that? I was in an outfit, stressed about how I was gonna do the next outfit, just a never-ending outfit nightmare. - Welcome tonight. - That's just real life. - And then you post it and you're like, I'm really proud of this and they're like, think again. - I said, pick your favorite, if you're a girl's girl. (laughing) And if you're not a girl's girl, keep it to yourself. But I do have to say, me at an event. - Yeah. - I don't know what happens to me. But it was chaos. Sports Illustrated, Times Square, Vibes are high, and I'm making new friends. I actually walked in. It felt like the first day of school where like, you don't know anyone and it could go great and it could go horrible. I made so many new friends this weekend. Like I literally was, no, they're all blonde, don't worry. - Thank you, Sandra, we love you, Sandra. Well, Alona, Marr is an athlete, so that doesn't count. Like you guys are not. - And Hannah did call me and was like, I love Brooks Nader. I knew you were gonna love her because, talk about an aura. - Yeah, we immediately just started joking. And she's, she's everything I wanted her to be. 'Cause some people are so different off camera. Like some people shut off off camera. So I was like making friends. I got the end of the weekend. People were like asking for my number and like my idea. And I was like, am I like a new person? 'Cause now I have like four new friends. And in your 30s, it doesn't happen. Like I'm in a whole new social situation now. Like I have to cancel plans. Like, I don't even know how to keep up with all my friends now. How do people keep up with a big friend group? - It's really hard in your 30s. - I'm stressed, but during the party, I'm like holding my jacket and my purse. And they're like, you have to go to the red carpet. And I was like, what do I do with my jacket, my purse? Lucho, our king, our Italian prince. (laughs) - Life is literally just asking yourself. - You're gonna put my jacket in my purse. - Am I bringing a jacket? Where is my purse? Is it, maybe I left it in this purse? It could be in another purse. - Now we're at one hotel. - Yeah. - So I'm like, I can handle this. And Lucho's like, I'll take your jacket. I head down. I'm also chewing gum somehow. I don't know how this happened. I'm about to go on the carpet. Shannon Ford is there. And she's like, you can't go on the carpet chewing gum like that. And I was like, oh no. And then she's a new mom. She puts her hand out. - Yeah. - And I go, (laughs) put in her hand. - It's as if when you become a mom, you sign a contract of all the things you now have to do and disposing of gum is one of them. - And she saw me and her mom alerts what she was like when they tell. So I get on the carpet, everything's fun. Oh, I gave my purse to the person you give your purse to. And I'm off the carpet, I'm ready to party. So again to the party, I'm having fun. And I realize, don't have my coat on my purse. - Mm-hmm. - But I'm not stressed. I'm like, we're all having fun here. So I'm like, going around, just be like, anyone see you, jacket or purse. Okay, anyway, making friends. - This is my literal. I would have, first of all, I hate losing things because I don't lose things. And also, talk about feeling bad for an inanimate object. When I lose, like a piece of clothing, I'm like, and they're never coming home with me again. - I don't know where mama is. - And they don't know. - And they think that I didn't like them and I was getting rid of them, I wasn't. I wasn't getting rid of you. - So I'm like, honestly, whoever has my purse is probably more responsible than I am. So I'm like, hold my purse. But then it started to go like a little too long. I thought someone eventually would come up to me and be like, "Hand away if you're purse." Now, my dude, in my head, I'm like, "Where the fuck's my purse?" And I go, "Lucho." Lucho clearly has my jacket and my purse. No idea where Lucho is, no idea. I find someone who has grace's number who has Lucho's number. So I'm actually at this point kind of stressing. - You don't have Lucho's number? - I don't have my phone, babe. - Oh, no. - I'm literally raw-dogging for Illustrated Party. - It's 1994 at the Sports Illustrated Party for Hannah. I'm just hopping into photos, smiling. No idea what time it is. Also, meanwhile, not to get into it, but my mom was coming and I didn't leave her a key for the apartment. So my mom is left for dead. - Perfect. - Left for dead. I have no phone. And everyone's just taking photos. And be like, "Hey, it looks so pretty." I'm like, "I know." - Everyone's just showing their tits and like-- - So finally we see Lucho. And he's all smiley and he's like, "I have your coat." And I was like, "And where's my purse?" And he's like, "You never gave me your purse." And I was like, "Lucho, I swear to God if you stole my purse." And I'm just kidding. I could tell he had no idea what the purse was. So now I have my coat, which is like 50% good. So I'm still dancing. - You didn't go up to anyone that worked there? - This is my thing. I'm not ruining people's nights yet. Like it was too early in the night for me to be like, "Hey, that's my purse." Like everyone was still like sober. We just got to the club. It was like a club. So I'm scared. Like half an hour goes by. The head of sports illustrated. MJ, the editor in chief, walks into the party, holding my purse. And I go up to her and go, "This craze, that's my purse." And she's like, "This purse has no identifying information. There's no wallet. 'Cause it was like a stylist gave me a purse. I didn't put a key. - Wow. - I didn't put a wallet. I didn't put an ID. I'm like, "I don't need ID. I have a Charlotte Tilbury lip liner and my phone. And I think a pad for my greasy skin." So she's like, "We had no idea who this could be." - Hannah, Hannah, not more than three days ago. Did I text Josephine for something? And I was like, "We have to pay with your card." And she goes, "I don't have my wallet." I go, "But you're out in the world. You didn't bring a wallet." And she goes, "No, I just have like Apple pay." - I'm the typey friend that's literally dancing. And I'm like, "I have a flight in an hour." - No, I was, I literally go, "That's the most genzy thing I've ever heard to leave the house without your wallet or your keys." - It's something like weirdly rebellious or like empowering where I'm like, "I'm not gonna fucking bring it." And it's always like the one day they're like, "You can't do anything unless you have your ID right now." And I'm like, "Anyway, no!" I've ruined nights because I don't have my ID. - Well, yeah, one, that is like,
very crucial thing to going out at night and to what if something happens to you and they need to know who you like I always am like I'm Jane Doe. They know that it's me. My phone is being blown up by my mom because my mom's like hey there's no key at the apartment and I'm like thank you so much MJ I appreciate it. I'm just so in the moment of how good this party is I forgot where all my stuff was and she's like everyone got their purse back you clearly gave it to a girl and just never went to get it back and I was like such a valid point and we've learned a grown from this. Next day lost my phone. Molly Sims randomly is like who's phone is this I said thank you Molly Sims that's my phone. This is the thing because it's where illustrations full of women I'm like I'm not losing anything here. Like I was surrounded by very successful smart cool women. I could leave a newborn baby in the middle of the table and it would have had a better life than me. Wait Hannah. They closed like ballroom full of cool women. I'm like I literally was flinging my I lost my sunglasses someone else found it. Then typical me I had to I literally had to fly out and everyone's like you got to go you got to go I'm like yeah my flight's at eight and I'm like don't worry it's LaGuardia like it's really close don't worry I'm chatting everyone's like you got to go you're going to miss your flight get in the car realize it's fully JFK like where did I even get the idea that it was LaGuardia and I'm just telling everyone like it takes 20 minutes for me to get LaGuardia don't worry but it's not JFK look at my phone fully JFK how long did you have to get there I got there 30 minutes before boarding but I really wanted McDonald's and there was a very long line but in my head I said it's fast food this is what they do it's fast food it was the hot spot like everyone just wanted their McDonald's yeah and there was a huge line and I'm just I waited till the very last minute for my McDonald's to make it even more dramatic ran with a quarter pounder I wait I was just gonna say since you like banned McDonald's on this last tour and like it almost ruined the world tour what is your order these days I just like a cheeseburger no no mustard so McDonald's put mustard and it's like this isn't a fucking charcoot replay like give me a burger oh see I like the mustard see I like I like my own if I'm really hungry I add like six to ten chicken nuggets you have to have two different meats yeah yeah yeah sorry I want my protein yeah my protein but um yeah I I had a crazy sports illustrated weekend all the girls are awesome that's really nice it was giving like Hannah joined a sorority and she didn't tell any of us and she's just like she said she was going to one school she actually transferred one to a different one she has all new friends look I kept going around being like I feel like I'm in a sorority and I feel like all the girls had been in a sorority and they're like okay and I'm like I've never been in a sorority but yeah it was like you feeling female friendship I literally like was the biggest girls girl this weekend yeah but you know you see it on Instagram and you're like yeah they're all like pretending to be friends or like they're all friends but if I was poor at the group I don't know if I would mesh it was so fun like um alone in Mar and I we're pretending we were Alex Earl's bodyguards we actually we thought of an incredible business idea so you know when people have bodyguards it's like really obvious and also ruins the vibe like I don't care how much fun you're having Coachella why is that like man who's clearly sweating because he's in a full tuxedo standing in the middle of Coachella so I was like we need undercover bodyguards that are just really strong girls and when a guy tries to talk to the girl you just go in front you go why are you talking to her that's my friend just she wanted to talk to you and you just like cause a scene and the other girls innocent she's like doesn't even know so I think we should just get a bunch of female rugby players to be bodyguards from now on I think it's an extremely smart idea because like I feel like it's I don't what are the men gonna do like fight a crazy girl who comes running up no let the rugby girls handle and there's nothing men dislike more I feel like when a girl takes their job yep I was gonna say just like talks like a girl's friend like comes up and starts talking they're like no you know everyone has that friend that will not let anyone talk to anyone in the best way like she's like I'll handle him yeah I'll handle him excuse me nobody wants you here nobody want do you know get out and you're just like yeah every group has that one girl that you're like go you do it um did you see the paparazzi picture of Kylie Jenner Timothy Shaume Kendall Jenner and Jacobal Ordie no I just saw the one of Jacobal Ordie and Kendall Kendall chugging a full bottle of rosé oh wait she that one she's like hold up I didn't see that one this was like all four of them in like an SUV like leaving somewhere and it was actually Steph texted it to me and like the Instagram or whatever and she was like I feel like you would just love this and I love when a list celebrities do a list celebrity things with each other and I love like an old-school paparazzi pic like just left the club they're like a little tipsy it just look like fun it looked like they were having wholesome fun I love that for them and I love a double date and I wish I could hear the text afterwards of like what they thought of each other's man's did the man's get along do you think they're like oh my god we used to date like rappers and athletes and now we're conquering the arts the artists men the artists I wonder if like Timothy and Jacobal Ordie are competitive with each other yeah like do you think that there's like a under lying like I would see that I would think that Timothy thinks that he's more of a serious actor yeah but I also feel like boys are so dumb like boys are just like they probably just like that they're both boys society doesn't make them compete against each other they can actually both win a bunch of awards there's enough room for everyone where if they both were dating girl actresses it would be like who's my successful I mean remember the Jonas Brothers they literally took apart all the women in that group yeah oh my god remember when Joe Jonas was married to Sophie Turner that feels like a real fever dream there's a new thing that Kesha announced called geosexual are you familiar with this I'm not so when you only have sex in certain countries so she says she only has sex when she's in Italy obsessed it's like it's like only eating bread in Italy she only has sex that is the most iconic thing I've ever heard I know I know I feel like I want to be that but it's like my my place is my bed we day love that so much for her was she being serious I don't know it was just a quote but I feel like that's so something you do in your 30s you're like at this point at this yeah at this rate I'm just gonna pick which country at this juncture you gotta catch me I couldn't think of one place in Italy in Rome support for today's episode

favorite but I want to see if we have the same one of all your outfits this like we pass this too quickly
your outfits this weekend which one was your favorite. Great question. And I would also like to say what I think your favorite was. So surprisingly my favorite was the green cape Michael Cours. Wow. Because I almost didn't even try it on. I was like I need to show my waist or I feel like I look pregnant. Like I have to show I have to like things that are kind of tight and stretchy. And I tried it on and I said I look like an interesting aunt. Yeah. Like a wealthy aunt coming in between her European vacations. And I just felt like I I do think the weekend there was a lot of range. I wanted to each outfit to be like a different personality. Yeah. I think you gave it. You gave a different vibe. And that's important because then you have to switch up your hair. And we all know how stressed you get about switching up your hair. I think I know what your favorite outfit was. What was that? Do you want to say it? My favorite was the Sunday turquoise set or like light blue set. Yeah. I love that. I thought your favorite was going to be the black sheer. So I really like that too. My thing is the black sheer like a black dress. I've seen it a million times. I loved it. I loved it. But it's I want I want I like surprising people. I want to come up with new shit. The problem with that's the suit the set suit set tight. And you ripped it. Oh yeah. I forgot. Because right when I DM do and I said this is my favorite outfit. I then naturally went to the next slide. And it was you having a sweatshirt tied around your waist that you ripped the skirt. The good news is that she was good all day. The problem with like SUV cars is that you have to like step up into them. And when I first wanted to step in it. I was in the very beginning of the day. I was like, Oh, I could totally rip the back of it. And at the end of the day, you know, when you're just done, you're like, I'm ready. I got to go get my flight in LaWardia. Apparently, I very quickly jumped in the Uber and just felt the whole backs. I go, and thankfully, Sports Illustrator gave me a free sweatshirt. And that's one way to get merch. So I wrapped it around and it was good. But yeah, that was that was unfortunate. But it was by the scene. It could easily be fixed. Um, I went to a wedding this weekend. How was it? It was nice. I. look. It's not me if I don't have one problem or another. Like something is going to be itching me, irritating me, squeezing me. Like, I'm gonna have an issue. And look. First of all, look, me knowing I'm going to a wedding and like going to like a social event. That's like a long period of time. I'm gonna pop a beta because I just am. Like, you know what? There's no shame in it. Like, I'm just, I'm gonna pop a beta. So like, I pop one. I feel fine. Great. Get to the wedding. I'm like, you know what? I'm having like a nice time at this wedding. Also, this wedding was so Italian in so many subtle ways that I felt just like comfortable. So I'm like feeling myself. I really like my dress. I'm like, I'm having a good time. They're cocktail hour. There's Pesito and Melon. Cocktail hour was phenomenal. I'm just like really, I'm like, I'm gonna have a couple cocktails. Frank Sinatra's playing. Frank Sinatra. And if the Italians aren't consistent, it was just like good vibes. We had a good table. Like, everyone's having a good time. Cash and envelopes. So many cash and envelopes. I literally was like, I even know there was cash anymore. I was like, I've only seen this in movies, guys. Like, I've never seen this before. Cookie table, tremendous. To the ceiling. So like halfway through the wedding, I'm like, my dress is like tight. Like, I knew it was like tight and the top was like, corseted. Okay. I was wearing this like, black Elsa, like, midi dress. And the top was like, very structured. And then it like, cinched up my waist like, corset. And then it went like, structured down. But like, when I was trying it on and getting it fitted, like, it was fine. In the morning. So I'm sitting there for a couple hours. I'm three ravioli steaks. And this was sage and butter, baby. This was heavy. The ricotta was retotting. And I'm like, whoa, my stomach is like really hurting. And I said to Joe, I was like, look, this is like your friends. And like, I'm down to have a fun to have. I'm like, we can go home whenever you want. And he was like, totally like, whatever. So it's like 1130. And I'm like, I gotta get the fuck out. You're a completely different person by the end of the party than the beginning of the party. I'm like, I physically am counting my brats because I'm losing air. Do you ever just sit in the bathroom stall? I do that at weddings. Well, I got to the point where I was like, unsit my dress. Like just unsit my dress. I don't care. Like, so I unsit my dress. And then I looked at him and I said, I actually have to go home. So I actually call the car now. And we left it midnight. And I couldn't have been more happy to. I took the dress truly off in the car. I couldn't do it. I was thinking about the bathroom at weddings. If you just sit in the bathroom stall at weddings, that's where all the gossip is happening. Like everyone has an opinion. Everyone's talking shit about someone in the family. Yeah. It's crazy. Totally. That's the podcast I want to listen to. No, I didn't sit in there a long time, but I did sit there for a second and contemplate, like, what if I went out into the parking lot? Do you think I can do it? At one point, I looked at Joan. I was like, I might just go sit in the car. Well, when you're not, when you're just a friend of the wedding, you're like, totally. Nowadays gamma. Yeah, I'm like, they're having a full reunion of like their second grade best friend. And I'm like, I'm a side character here. No one would know if I slipped out 100%. There's also a video of a girl doing the worm that everyone sent me to me at a wedding where like, you know, the brides made in groom, brides groom, whatever made of honor. Just the brides, just the bridesman, bridesmaids, bridesmaids, and who's the, what's the male version? groomsman. groomsman. Okay. We got the bridesman. But we got there. Yeah. There's a bridesgirls and the brides boys and they're walking in and they're doing a little dance and then one girl, she turns and she goes to the worm and I said, a woman by my own heart. As she does the worm, the back of her dress pops like literally where they were in short dresses. No, but it was like the, you know how the back of the dress has like a slit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she starts doing the worm. The slit goes all the way up. She's fully wearing a thong and she's facing the entire wedding. And when she starts doing it, it pops and everyone exclaims, they all go, whoa. And she probably in her head is like, I'm killing it with this worm right now. And I'm going viral, but I guess no. How did that now come across my desk? Everyone's like she's a hero. Like she's, she's amazing. So shout out to, she's our woman of some of the week. Yeah. Honestly, I give credit to anyone who in their head is like, yeah, I'm going to stop and do the worm right now because the confidence they, I would, I would choke. And I've done it in many a dress. Yeah. You've done it on national television. You've done it at, you've done it at Radio City Music Hall. The only difference is I, I don't wear thongs. So I have flashed the audience many a time. You're so sick of it. You're like, not again, but they just see some hands underwear. It's nothing too exciting. Yeah. Nothing too exciting. Actually, you're also women of STEM of the week runner up twice this week because Paige sent me her first ever message in invisible ink. I thought there was a murder. I was like, this is never happened before. I don't ever respond to it. I go, who taught you how to do that? Well, do you want to know? I don't send you text messages with invisible ink because you're the only person that like, and I'm saying it with my chest and like let them see it. Like, who's Hannah gonna tell? I'm like, who's not gonna tell me she's no other friends than she's talking to this about. But you were at Sports Illustrated Weekend and I, like, I'm trying to be a girls girl and so like, I'm not gonna just like give gossip to some person that I don't know. That could be looking over my shoulder. Right, right. Well, Lil, did you know I had no idea where my phone was? So no one was gonna see it. Right. My point exactly. Like, the last thing I need is like, Paige's just our most name popping up and it's just like the most scathing text. But there's such a freedom of not having your phone and it not even being your fault. You're like, that was the universe. They don't want me to have it. But I, when people text me now, you can't see what they're saying. It just says new message. Oh, right. No, I mean, I have that. Yeah. No, I have that too. That's crazy. That's crazy. Um, Harry Styles is new tour. He's wearing a tie. Apparently no one can have an original thought anymore. Now you see just like average businessman.
- You're like, "Okay, guys, just give a girl credit." Give me credit. - It's like kind of performative at this point. - People are mad at his tour because there's like part of the setup 'cause they do these crazy setups. It has like a curve and some VIP people couldn't see anything 'cause of like the way they designed the tour floor. - Okay. - So clearly there wasn't a woman's touch involved. - Is he like our like rock star? - Do you think of like our generation? - I think he's like a heart throb. I wouldn't say rock star. - Yeah. - Do we have any rock stars? - I don't know, but it's so funny because anytime I'm around anyone truly and I accept you. And I say like, "Oh, I don't really get the hairy styles." Like I think he's cute and I think like a lot of his songs are very catchy. But for me, I don't get the heart throb. - Five? I don't know, I feel like he's more like, oh, that's a guy friend in my group. A friend. - A hundred percent. - But that's the vibe he gives to me. Like he'd be a great time to like go out with and hang out with. - And we were too old for one direction. - Yeah, maybe that's it. Especially with the topic I'm about to talk about next. - Drop it. - What are we doing with our gray hairs? Because this is a serious question. I have some girlfriends that die their hair because they're like my graze and it's easy. My blondes, I don't even ask them because they're dying all the time. They are like, "Don't even have to deal with that." (laughing) - That sounds like they've been dying their hair, not like actually dying. - They're dying. I was like, "What?" They're dying their hair all the time. So they don't really have to get that. - Or if they do, I don't think you could see it against the blond. - Right, and also like, they wanna be that color. They're like, they get crazy sometimes. The blond community just catching sprays every podcast. - No, the blondes have a tough go of it because they get this thing in their hair hat. They get manipulated by their own blondness. And they're like, "I'm not blonde enough." And then like, if you have a blond friend and she's starting the transition to Brunette, you have to be there for them. - My favorite thing to do with blondes is when they go from platinum to like, just normal blond, I go, "Oh my God, you look so good, Brunette." And then they spiral. (laughing) - And people think you're nice with it me. I know the sensitivity you have to have with a blonde who's transitioning. - It's really paying no. - You gotta watch them. They'll burn your house down if they're transitioning and someone says something. - Do you know what people don't talk about though, Brunette, who get a couple highlights? And you don't realize looking back, you were fully blonde. I was blonde in my 20s and no one told me and it looked like shit. - Yeah, you were pretty blonde. - I was really blonde. - And I just went in asking for a highlight next thing you know. - Well because the best thing that ever happened to you was ombre because you were like, no root situation. Yeah, I'll do it all day long. - Ombre changed my life. Ombre? - Ombre. - The girls loved ombre. So with the greys, there is a spray. - Okay. - That you dye sprays, you get it your color, yours is easy, you get black or whatever, your thing is dark brown. What are you? Dark dark brown. - I'm a espresso. - Okay, espresso. - A espresso. - I'm a type of channel. - So you get the color and then you spray. - Really have a chestnut. - Okay. - You're like a rich mahogany. - You are a rich mahogany. - I'm a really rich library. - You've never stepped foot in a library. So you can spray it if you're like going out. - Like every day, okay, yeah, like a. - But there was a time on summer house when I was just by the pool, I did my own business for the first time ever. And Paige came up like a monkey mom and started yanking out all my gray hairs. - Well, because you were my first friend to have grays. You had grays young. You must have been stressed, honey. - I went gray early. - You went gray early. - I went gray early. And I guess my dad went gray early. Also my husband's gray, so I'm like trying to catch up. But you just started picking it and in my head, I was like, I was told that you shouldn't do this, but it's kind of fun right now. And you were so happy, like you were having so much fun. - That's like folklore. - I don't know, but they do grow straight up. But I think that's 'cause grays have different like texture. - I'd like a real woman of STEM to clock in on this is that a myth that if you pluck a gray hair that five more grow. And if true, what would the science be behind that? I have a girlfriend that like takes like scissors and like just cuts them down really low. I'm teasing them right out. - Yeah. - Like I'm pulling, but I only ever get them on this side. But let me tell you something. The first time you do a ponytail and you randomly see like a bunch of grays on the side. - Yeah, you do have like an existential. - An existential. - Like I sat there and I was like, I don't have children. I don't even, I don't have kids yet. I'm like, I don't have a pension plan. (laughing) It's really jarring, and it's really sad. And then it's just another thing where men, it's like distinguished and wise. And it's women, it's like you're disgusting. - Does his life got significantly better when he went gray? - Well, it's just so annoying that like, you know what it is? It's that like I hate men that have hope. Like if they have hope, it's really not good. I don't want to ever give them any type of hope. And one thing that's really bad for the male species is there's always the possibility that they can get hot. - I know. - Because like they do get better with a, look at Steve Carell. - He's become a sexist. - Like he sat throgan. - Is that crazy? - Yeah, it is crazy. And speaking of when you said, what'd you say, existential, what did you just say? - Existential. - Exist. - Exist. - You actually have it, you have it. - Existential. - Existential, you have it. Someone wanted me to message you and say, it's not all of the sudden, it's all of a sudden. - All of the sudden, all of a sudden. - Apparently you said all of the sudden. I don't know, I'm just repeating, I'm just repeating, I'm the middle man. - Okay, that actually makes sense, all of a sudden. - Were you saying all of the sudden? - All of the sudden. I don't know if I was, all of a sudden. - You're rethinking every conversation you've ever had. - Okay, keep going, what were you saying? - Oh yeah, anyway, with Grey's, I will tweeze it. Also, if you cut it too much, then you have a lot of little spiky. - Right, and then I'm like, she's a crazy person, yeah, yeah. - But I think people really do believe that if you tweeze it, like five more will grow in its place. That's why I'm like, we need to debunk this. - But I do believe like, when I'm in a meeting, if I have a Grey that's showing, I'm like, you better fucking listen to me. 'Cause I've seen some shit. - Well, obviously I feel unkempt. - Whenever anyone says anything about my Grey's or I bring it up, I just go, sorry, I did a reality TV. - You would do. - Yeah, it was only three years, but. - I'm just saying it had a lasting impact. - Oh god. - Oh my god. - You asked me if I watched the documentary. Are you talking about the crash? - Yes. - It was intense. - I've watched a lot of documentaries per your recommendation. And you watched some weird shit. Like you like Coltie weird sex, like just like weird murder stuff. This documentary made me physically ill. Like I actually at one point was like, oh, I just got so nauseous from this. - 'Cause you know what it's like to be in a toxic relationship and how like quickly it could happen. - That and also it was just, it was so dope. Like she was so, she could do so many people because like what she was like cute and like, it was just very scary. - Not to be like I'm such a girls girl, but like throughout it, I really was giving her. - Same. - But at the end, like the way she was crying, I was like, that's like a girl who like something accidentally happened. - And like in court when they showed like her Instagram pictures, I was like, okay, what does this have to do with who she is as a person? Like. - So in my further research. - Yeah. - Apparently Netflix did not show all the evidence 'cause it did seem a little great to me and then at the end of it was like, yeah, fuck her. And I'm like, but it did seem a little confusing. Apparently on Hulu, there's another documentary called Mean Girl Murders where they cover the case and there's more evidence. Now fast forward if you don't want to know what happened but I'm gonna give you all the tea. This girl is dating this guy, Dom, great name. And they're in this friend group in high school. They're smoking weed, whatever. She gets into a car accident. And the two boys she's with in the car die and she's critically injured. Like it's crazy she survived that. - Insane. That was the one of the number one reasons I was like, well, she's not gonna do something on purpose. She's in the car. She, there's no way you would think, oh, I'll survive this. - Or it was one of those like suicide missions. Like I'd rather us all go than you leave me. So apparently she had done like
A test drive the previous days like a couple times in that area and that area is nowhere near where she lives So that's what the Hulu documentary had shown. That's what people are saying online that makes it like very clear that like Maybe something was premeditated. So also in these small towns I do feel like you know where every turn is Like don't you like know where you're going if you drive? Right. Yeah, yeah, so she apparently did a hundred miles per hour Straight into a building and at the very last five seconds it shows that the Neutral and drive was going back and forth and that they turned the The steering wheel and the guys were on top of each other Mm-hmm. That could have been he got thrown or it could have been both the guys were fighting her Like trying to get her off the yeah, but the dark thing about it all is that like she wasn't trying to live If that was on purpose like she wanted them all to go right that's why it's so It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make any sense like there's something missing her story from the very beginning is I have no idea what happened. I've no idea what happened and then her mom was like she has pots That is so natural that I feel like was just My only thing that I like I'm thinking watching it is you know and someone because they say they left at 5 a.m You know and someone wakes you up in the morning and you're like pissed off like why are you making waking me up? So every little thing you're just like I'm annoyed. I Feel like he said something or someone texted him and It was like if you don't tell me right now or you don't if you don't do this right now Like all kill all of us and that's and that's it and then when it was too by the time it was too late She couldn't I mean and I tried to think like maybe it was an accident like there's no one on the road And she's like let's go a hundred and then was like oh shit This there's a building yeah, I don't know but like it's some suburban kid shit. Yeah, it was a really crazy story really crazy and she's currently in jail and But the way the documentary was done was weird here's the other thing like Nothing. I'm a parent but in what fucking world are you letting your daughter move in with her boyfriend at 17 years old? Like she had zero supervision. She had like Her parents knew she was smoking weed at such a young age like yeah Well, she's only gonna progress to doing more drugs. She had too much freedom. They didn't have the personality She didn't have the personality to have this much freedom as a child. They didn't explain things and they were like yeah Dom has a lot of money no and explain how that happened Yeah, there was a text that said like I want to buy drugs from Dom So I'm assuming that he was like a big deal drug dealer in the area He probably like sold weed. Yeah, but he was able to get his own house and she lives in it with him Then the mom like basically saying she didn't really know the other kid So she didn't care to like say something Didn't you write something down when you were gonna know you were gonna speak in court? The whole thing was crazy It's called the crash. It's on Netflix. Let us know what you guys think something is a right and it's because she gave them no information So like there was nothing to work with and then she had her friend on just be like I was just gonna say people were really mad at the friend Because she wouldn't talk to the police and she wouldn't But she would talk to Netflix. Yeah, that's another reason which made me think she was guilty Yeah, because If you are guilty your friend isn't talking to the police Do you know also her friend has like a tiktok following so she was like I was doing really well in tiktok Yeah, thank you for this interview Yeah, we were best friends and she was perfect But it is a weird like mean girl situation where one girl was like she always defended me and then another girl was like She told me to kill myself when they're trying to get like what she was like as a person And then she said that there was a car ride he claimed that she was threatening To kill them each other in the car. Actually use what no one should be driving No one don't drive. I didn't get my license my yeah This is my hand. I didn't have her license. My mom wouldn't let me leave the house and we're all better for it Truly, no, they're just huge weapons get a bicycle I'm doing this new thing where I cook once a week And I'm really proud of myself like I have had a transformational year.

He just reads things that are in front of him. He'll read a pamphlet. He doesn't care Seriously, how long does it take you to get through one page of a book when I'm in the zone? I can fly but like when I hit a like you know, and you like can't get past a certain paragraph Like how many minutes is it taking you to read 50 pages? I don't know.
