songs of the summer, understanding lake life, and the case against Morgan Wallen

Paige, Katie, and Sam share their summer travel plans, focusing on trips to New England—specifically lakes in New Hampshire and beaches in Maryland and Massachusetts—reflecting personal preferences: Sam dislikes sand and ocean currents, while others enjoy beach activities and family time. They discuss their contrasting attitudes toward seafood, especially lobster, noting its transformation from a humble food to a heavily marketed delicacy. The conversation drifts into personal anecdotes about lost experiences, like wandering off at airports or being separated from children, highlighting concerns about safety and parental vigilance. They also reflect on modern social dynamics, including the rise of dating apps, where profiles may include exaggerated or artificial traits like Snapchat scores, and the growing presence of AI-generated content and voice notes in relationships. One notable moment involves a voice note exchange from a first date that sparks debate on consent and authenticity, raising concerns about genuine connection. The group touches on nostalgia, such as their shared memories of childhood shows and music, including “Old Town Road” and “Blurred Lines,” and jokes about pop culture, like the Minions song. Ultimately, the discussion blends personal experiences, cultural shifts, and generational changes in how people form relationships and enjoy leisure, ending on a reflective note about authenticity in both travel and connection.

(upbeat music) - Welcome to Jess's Girls is Paige, Katie and Sam. - Quick housekeeping, we're having a summer week, I feel like we have vacations planned. We're enjoying it. - Take a perpetual summer Friday. - What am I doing, what am I doing? - I just feel like that. - If an email hits me after pretty much Wednesday at this point, it's the weekend. - I'll just news that for next week, yeah, yeah. - We've got lots of trips coming up. What do you guys, what's on your upcoming? - Doc it. - I'm going to the lake, to see my mom, and then we're going to the beach, and then we're going to a different beach. And I, I really hate the beach. - Where do you go to the beach from Massachusetts? - I don't wanna say it. - Do you go to the cape? - No, I actually don't go to Massachusetts. I go to New Hampshire. - Oh, live for a year, I'm trying to have a main. Vacation land. - Main is beautiful. - I have never been to Maine, and it is all my short list. - Are you sure you should go to Maine? - Yeah, I fuck with lobster. - Yes. - Okay. - I feel like it would be enjoyable. - I think you can get a lobster pretty much all among these coasts, but it is. - No, but it's like, they're bigger than cheaper. - I don't wanna play. - Yeah, we are known for. - We eat lobster, like, because it's always there and it's, I remember going to Vegas and somebody ordering a main lobster, and I was like, no. - You know, lobster is all marketing. It used to be what they fed like inmates, and it was considered like a disgusting food, and then marketing just kind of turned it into-- - Well, my cooking in butter. Just doused it in butter. - Yeah, it's just like, it's kind of like diamonds. - I think if you eat just lobster, it's not that exciting. - It has to be covered in butter or-- - Or, yeah, mayonnaise or anything. - Lobsters, yeah. - Lobs, yeah. - Yeah, any type of meat. - Yeah, and I don't love the act of cracking it. Like, I want something to do that for me. - I'm a Maryland girl, so like-- - The crab. - Yeah, even when I was a vegetarian my whole life, I knew how to crack crabs. - No, I know how to crack a lobster. I'm just like, I don't wanna have to work for it. - Yeah, I'm gonna just be ready to go. - Yeah, I like a lobster. - A stashio, I wanna shell a pistachio, I don't wanna have to shell a pistachio. Or at a mome, I like those pretty-- - Yeah, yeah. - Do you guys eat like steamers, scallops, no? - What? - No. - What do you mean, what's a steamer? - Steamers are like a clam belly. You like steam them and then they open and they open. - Oh, a clam? - We call them steamers. They just steam them and they open and you-- - We call clams, 'cause they're clams. And then you steam them and you open them. - Is that what we're talking about? - Are we talking about the same thing? - I don't know, we're gonna find out. We call them steamers, I think they're clams. - Yeah, they're clams. - Okay, but like you people just steam them and then eat them like that. - Yeah, I like an oyster. The setting has to be correct. - I don't like an oyster. I like scallops. - Scallops? - I say scallops. - I think, is that the right way to say it? - We don't know. - We can't be con, who knows? - Scallop? - Sure, there's a right way. - Potato. - Nobody says potato. - I've heard from potato. - Oh, is it? - No! - I saw this TikTok video where this lady was making fun of people who tried to do a Boston accent. - And one of the topics I'm happy about. - I'm happy to die. - No, because my mom calls them "Badatas." - What? - A lot of Italians in Boston call them "Badatas," like with a "B." - I don't know what word you're saying. - Are you saying banana? - I bet you're saying banana. - Yeah. - "Badatas." - Oh, like, "Badatas," but like, "Badatas." - Yeah. - And you've maybe realized we had one friend from Boston College, TJ, and every time we were drunk, we'd be like, "TJ, say pack the con, have it yet." - And he probably was like, "The guys are so fucking annoying." - Yeah. - How was it where I'm from? - We'd be like, "Yay!" - We did it. - Yeah, but we'll go to Maine for the beach. We'll go to New Hampshire for the Lake and New Hampshire for the beach. So, we'll just pop around New England. - It's fun. I like the New England pop. We're going to the beach as well. We have beach trip plans. I'm not very excited. - Which beach? - Yeah, we're in the beach. - I love the beach. - Where is you? - We go in the Maryland Delaware beaches. - Okay. - It's really fun for me because I grew up half of my life outside of DC and then half of my life at the beach, but it's a rural beach, so to speak. So, it's nice to see all my high school friends and it feels like home when I'm there. So I love bringing the kids back and the kids are little beach bugs too. They love the ocean. - I love the beach. - It makes me so happy to see them like living my childhood. - I will be air-tagging my kids this year at the beach though. - I mean, it's not. - It's not. - It's not. - Yeah. - It's not. - Like, I do that at Disney World. - Yeah. I got the little silicone wristbands. - Oh my gosh. - That was air-tagged. - Would you ever leave share-kits? - I mean, he's nine. I think I do that. - He would cause that one. I'd be like, there was a nine-year-old for that one. - I was leased until I was like, nine. - This is a runner? - I was a runner. One time I got lost in the Orlando Air. I was a runner. I don't think I get the attention. - A wanderer. - I was a wanderer. - You're like, yes. - I see things. I see people that look fun to talk to and. - Yeah, exactly. - Yeah, exactly. - Exactly. - Exactly. - I don't know why it took me 35 years to realize that I was, you know, suffering. But, yeah, one time at the Orlando Airport, I was five and I guess I just like wandered off for my parents and they lost me at the Orlando Airport, which is like one of the top trafficking spots in the nation. - I know when I'm here, all the bathrooms are like, if you're being trafficked. - Yeah. But I was smart. I went up to the airport person, behind the desk people and I was like, I'm Katie and I'm lost. - Oh, good, Katie. - And so they like, over the junk home. They were like, if you are Katie's parents, come get her and ever since then, leash. - I remember when we lost my brother at a red dog's game. - Oh. - Yeah. - It's scary. - It is scary. And this was back in the day where there was like, no, abduction. - Yeah, well, the picture are abduction. - I was just saying those cell phones, but yeah, abduction and so on. - I was about to be on a milk carton. - Yeah. - You were a milk carton kid. - Yeah, I just remember going to like fourth of July and downtown DC and just like having a leash on. And like, I would forget. And so I'd like go to walk somewhere and be like, and like, pull me back. - Yeah. - I understand why your parents did that. 'Cause my son's a wanderer and we were at a baseball game recently and he was just, we all stopped and he just kept going and I kept yelling, hey, and he just kept, and I was like, where are you going? - In his own world. - And he always turns around and he's like, what? - Yeah. - As if nothing, when he went missing for 45 minutes at a beach, when he got back, he's like, what? I was like, what do you mean, what? When he, your mother's in a coma right now, I was in a coma for a historically crying of all. And he's like, what? - Yeah. - His own, he wasn't alone. Like, he didn't just like, leave, he was with people, but I was like, oh my god. - Yeah. - And he, like, is so, like, nonchalant about it. Like, as if nothing happened. - Yeah, I don't think I would do it, but I understand that. I also haven't seen the leash in a long time. I feel like a Disney. Sometimes you see a leash? - I've seen a leash at Disney, and I kind of understand it when you're slightly outnumbered. Like, the idea of what you have a toddler, yeah, and you're like, okay, I want to put them down, but I don't want them to like, run off. - We have like a leash contraption for the stroller, where my son can hold it like that. He holds onto the stroller, because he doesn't attach to it. - No, but he will hold onto it, he'll be like, I don't want to hold your hands, and we're like, you can hold our hands, or you can hold the leash on the stroller. - You could do the daycare bubble rings, you know, like in the city, where all the daycare kids walk holding their lowering. - The cutest thing ever. - And it's the work of the city daycare was so fun, it's so cute. - It's the cutest thing ever. - Kind of scary, though, because I'm going to give any of these kids, like, go, while we're in the crosswalk, we're in the crosswalk. - What's great? - Yeah. - They just-- - They just-- - They don't. They just hold on. - They're trained. - 'Cause I can't imagine, like, I think of our kids and where we live versus, like, the other day, a couple weeks ago, when we were recording here, I saw the kiddos just walking on the leash. - Oh, so cute. - They're just in the New York City streets. - Yeah. - Yeah, my kid would walk right through a crosswalk, and I don't drive that much. - Yeah. - We're all the kids with them, goners. - Yeah, just kidding. - Wait, so you, when you live in Florida and you want a summer vacation, what do you do? - What do you do? - It's a great question. And it took us a long time to get used to. So we've been in Florida now for 10 years. The beach is not vacation to us, but we still-- - Lucky you. - I know. Like, yesterday, my daughter wouldn't sleep, and Luke just hopped on the bike and just, like, took her to the beach for a sunrise. How does it feel to live my dream? - You can come on down. - No, no. - Exactly. You can get it back. Right? So that's the positive. So we love vacationing out west. Like, I love Colorado, like, places like that. - You snow bird. - Yes. Yeah, exactly. But for the summer, we kind of use it as our time to go see families. So we, my husband's from Jersey. We love the Jersey Shore. So we'll be staying with some of his family in La Belette, New Jersey. It's a beautiful town, but it's right by, like, boom, boom, boom, like, where the real Jersey Shore is from. - That's culture. - Yeah, so we'll be cultured. We got to show our kids, like, good bagels and things. And then I am headed back to my alma mater, back at Penn State for a wedding, too. So-- - That'll be really excited. So, yeah, we kind of, like, but going up north, you don't escape the heat anymore. I mean, it's hot everywhere. - Yeah, it's global warming. - Yeah, it's hot. - Yeah. It was really hot for most of July. - I think we need to add global warming to our AI chat board. - Yeah. - We talked about it again. - We're warming AI. - It's every episode. - The arrest horror show. - Yeah. - Okay, good. - We haven't talked about Crishellen while. - I love her. - You actually naturally just come up a lot. - We just, I haven't watched the "Selling Sunset" in years. - No. - I said so going on. - I believe so, though. - I think so. - Yeah. - I think the first few seasons were so good. - So good. - And then I just kind of love Crishellen juice. - I just so over the top watching shows like that, like, I just love watching them, because I'm like, these people are just caricatures of like, and they know that. - Right. No, you know, you're buying into it. - Yeah. - You're just in real. - Yeah. - Or what's the girl who married Tara? I'll lose that. - Heather. - Heather. - No, she's best friends. - Which is XY. - Which is XY. - And they look identical. - They look identical. - Very similar. - But they're very supportive of each other. - Which is not right. - Which is what they show on social media of co-parenting you. - Which is what you hope for in parenting relationships, because that could have been a messy HGTV drama. - Yeah. - I know they would have loved that too. - They could have been competing on shows, and fighting, you know, I would have eaten that up. - Yeah. HGTV, when I watched that, I'm like, not only do I know we've talked about it before, not only is it fake, but it's also that they're not very good, you know, at the scripted part. - Oh, it's the same thing. It's the same thing. - I mean, even like Extreme Makeover Home Edition, when they would make a kid's bedroom, they'd be like, I like pizza. So they'd be like, we're making a pizza bed and a pizza dress shirt. - I think. Did I tell you the training spaces was in my backyard? - Why? - It was like when you were a kid. The true highlight of my sixth grade summer. So Thai Pennington's, like, Herpentry Tape was set up in our backyard because it was my backyard. We're in there, but oh, it was disgusting. I have to find the episode. But we would like me and my little girlfriend, and we'd like kick the soccer ball and like kick it into his 10 mix, sorry. - It's our time. - We met Paige, the one who was good. - Yeah, I love that. - That's the same person with my name. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I love that show. It was so good. - It was so good. - I actually. - It was a crazy shit on the wall. - Which was the show where they would take all the stuff out of the room when they would put in different piles of like, keep donate trash, and then they would make the keep, keep getting smaller and smaller. - So do you remember the realization? - It was one of those shows, but it wasn't like quarters of a thing. I thought it was like, I remember Paige doing it. - No, it was on the old school TLC. - Oh, I don't know, I don't know that. - I think about that every time I clean anything. I'm like, we're going to do the TLC methods. - Yeah. - And you just slowly get it smaller and smaller. Every page, just, you know, full of systems. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, systems. I think there's a very specific type of person who gets paid for it. - There is. - Yeah. - At birth. - Yeah. - You said this girl's going to be a good organizer. - Paige. - Her name's Paige. - Exactly. - Yeah, no, I've always wondered that though about, 'cause when I lived in LA, yeah, like I didn't go vacation at the beach in the summer or like. - No. - 'Cause you're by the beach. - Yeah. - I wasn't, I wasn't the valley, but like, so I was at the, we lived like 10 minutes from the beach. - I didn't, I like, I probably went to the beach like seven times when I lived out there, 'cause it was just not convenient from the valley to get to the beach and took forever. - Yeah, it is, oh yeah, the valley is like forever. - I think that's what West Coast cities, you don't understand how far. They're so far. - Well, it's not far. - The traffic. - The traffic. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Well, a lot of Floridians to go to Lake Houses, 'cause like, we're not far from, 'cause where we're at in Florida. - But don't your bikes have animals that eat people? - Maybe. - I don't talk about Florida one, sorry, like the Florida Georgia line, like to go up a little, you can drive up, you know, like six hours north, there's like a bunch of different Georgia towns. - Oh nice. - Close to the Carolinas. So there's a lot of like, different mountain towns. - Florida Georgia line. Didn't they break up? - I think so. - Yeah. - Overpolitical use. - So it was it. - Yeah. - Holy. - Interesting. - That's fun. - The God's was. - The God's was tough. - I think Tyler still makes music. I don't know if the other one does. - I think they both do, but one's done better. The one who's five foot. - Yeah, exactly, that one. - Yeah, I feel like, oh, I missed Florida Georgia. I think that was such like summer music. - I know. - Yeah, it was, I mean, she said it. - And it really hurt us. - Florida Georgia, like the colleges play. Like, I think they switched stadiums every year. - Right. - I should note that. - I think Florida Georgia comes to town, like the whole, my whole town shuts down, but. - Yeah. - Really, I don't care. - I don't know nothing about that. I am, yeah, I have always lived in Massachusetts and so we would keep when I was a kid, but the cake was crazy 'cause it's terrible traffic. There's only two ways to get in, and it's just two small bridges. - Okay. - And so you're just gonna sit and traffic forever and it's super expensive. And that's also how you get to Nantucket in the vineyard, like you have to go on. - I went to Martha's Vineyard once. - It's nice. - And we were driving from Boston. We were picking up a best friend and we drove from Boston. It took us eight hours in traffic to get there. - Yeah. - Everybody was piggled the side of the road. I was like, I thought Martha's Vineyard was supposed to be this like, beautiful. - I'm sure ask in here. Everybody's like, "Get there." - Well, yeah, once we got there and I was like, "Let's get on the ferry." - This is warfare. - No, it's really, in the summer, it's terrible. So we go, and I actually think New Hampshire beaches are nicer and they don't have sharks, not as many sharks. But I've always, my family had a lake house. So I was always more of a lake person. Like I hate sand. I don't like feeling the stickiness of salt water on my body, like when I come out. I mean, this track's right. Like I don't like coming out being like, it's more of a Jason. I hate getting in the car sandy. I hate when a kid sandy hand touches me. - Ooh. - I can't. I just like, we are such good friends, but we would be the worst married couple in the world, because I am the person. - You don't bury yourself. - I love the beach. I get so sandy, I bring the sand into the car. It's just like, it's part of the process. - I was gonna say, that's a part of like Florida. Like, you can even always have sand in it. There's the girls car seats always have sand in it. There's no way you can vacuum at all. - Yeah, I'm wearing it into a pool family. - Okay. - Yeah, but I have a pool here. - I have, well, yeah. I have a pool, but they're a pool family that also keeps their pool to like 87. I'm like, this isn't even nice. - I'm like, it's hot. - It's a bad hot tub. It's a bad, it's not refreshing. Like there's something about jumping into a lake and one not knowing what touched your foot. - B2. - Like, I don't, I don't pass with wildlife. - Yeah. - I'm from the ocean. - No. - You don't say we live at the beach, I'm so confused. - I live at the beach. And I like do, I don't swim. I go up to my ankles. - You don't do that. - I'm chicken and hold you guys this before. - Do you know how I swim? Oh yeah, 'cause she pisses. I pee. - I pee. - Tending. - I, guys. I have seen too many sharks. I know too many people that surf on my beaches and I'm like, yeah, like this shark just bumps my board. I'm like, what do you mean he bumps your board? I'm not going in with sharks. - I have to think you can bump your teeth. - But you pee standing up. - If I have to, I'm not like going to the beach. I'm like, I'm ready to pee, but if I like absolutely have to piss myself, I'll just like go to like ankle, knee-deep, little splish-flash. - You just let it go down your leg. - Yeah, don't. - That is literally psychotic. - No. - No. - To be in dry air, peeing down your leg. - I would build a hole in the sea. - No, you know like when you're standing like at the water and it's like splashing. - Get your hips in the water. - No, no, no, no, no. - You need to get your hips in the water. - No movement and you're just seeing. - No, but the waves recede. Yes, they go. They come. But they also receive. - That's not it. - That's not it. But you have to pee so fast for that wave to be that high. - You need to get out to above the hip foam. - The hips need to be in the water if you're gonna pee. - I've seen people get attacked, not seen in my own eyes, but I've heard of attacks. - You're gonna have bathrooms nearby? - Some, some. - I would call the police. - It's just their bike in. - And they're like, they're residential. So there's not a lot of public restrooms where I live. - If I saw you just peeing in dry air. - Oh. - That is. - I mean sometimes I'll like, you know, where you can like sit and like have your legs out and the waves are splashing. Sometimes I'll do that, but then you get a koochi full of sand. Like, I don't need that. - Yeah, but then you have a dry asshole. - No, no, you like splash yourself. - What about your bathing suit? - You splash it and get it wet. - You have to soak it to get the pee out. - Do me. - Maybe next time I'll set up a camera and just some video myself. - I've never known if it's a video. - I mean, like the farting, I get, you know, it's like one thing. The peeing in dry air, letting it dry in your legs. - I'm not getting bit by a shark. The one time we went out, this is before kids. And we were on like a nice morning walk sunrise. And I was like, oh, we should bring our bathing suits and like swim. This is before I had like a big hair. - Well, sunrise, that's prime feeding time. - I love it. (laughing) - I love sharks. - I love sharks. - I love sharks. - Yeah. - And I literally like look over and there's just a shark like, huge shark just like coasted. - Submit that, dawn and dusk. - No, I'm not going in. - Dawn and dusk. Or when you don't go in, because that is prime feeding time. - Why are you just sitting there going in? - I don't know what to say here. - It's okay. - That's why I hate the beach. - Because it's fucking weird. I was like, really? - I'm just seeing myself being on the rig. - The thing is, when you go to a lake, you're kind of by yourself like with your group, right? Like you're on your dock or you're boat or your thing. - I don't really understand lakes. - I just went, what do you not understand? - No, I don't understand like culture 'cause I don't spend time on lakes. Like I don't understand how people behave. - 'Cause where I am, I went on the intercoastal with friends and a boat and we were like, I went in off their little thing where you hold. And I'm like, I've seen alligators in the swatter. Why am I in here? - Alligators in New Hampshire. - Okay, well yeah. - That's the Florida thing. - Yeah. - That's a Florida thing. In New Hampshire, we don't have alligators. I mean, we have fish. - So like, are you ever in the water and you're just like little nibbles on here? - No. - It's like swim by you a little like a bass. Like a thing, like that's something we'll fly by. A guppy. It's not a big deal. It's really nothing. Like there's nothing really in there. - How do you know? - I don't know, but I'm not gonna look. I'm not gonna go find out. - I mean, I was like this. - It's just like plastic in New York. - You can find out the heart of it. - Yes, isn't that supposed to be an alligator or crocodile? Is that a horror movie? That wasn't real. - I don't think there's a lot of questions. - I think that alligators don't come up this far as too cold. - No, you're absolutely right. - Yeah, so we don't have alligators. - I also like the lake is because you can do something more water activities. You can go water skiing in Newport. - So you don't like to go under. - You can go water skiing in Newport. - You can't go water skiing in Newport. - I don't like to go under. - That's what you want to do. - We always go to the lake and we do knee-burning and water skiing. - Water skiing is so fun. - It just feels like there's more activities. - Like at the beaches on the beach. And if you don't want to build a sand castle, what are you doing there? - And you don't like the sand. - And I don't like the sand. - Because at the lake, it's like you can just. - So I would argue though, at the beach, it's like ice cream in the water. We'd play chicken in the white water. - We'd do those kind of games. - Chicken looks on the shoulders. - No, it's when you stand, you put your back to the ocean. - I've never heard that. - That's okay. - Well, chicken in the white water? - Yeah, 'cause you're playing chicken to see who will try to run over the waves first. 'Cause yeah, you stand with the waves behind you and then they crash on you. - And I like body surfing with the waves. - Yeah, that's fun. - Those are activities. - Yeah, and like body boarding. - I will do that, but then this is the other thing I don't like about the ocean, the current. - I don't like the pull. - Yeah, I see. - Well, you have to watch and see what the current is doing. - Yeah. - Because you can be on a sand bar and the next thing you know, it's going to be, yeah. See, there's too many. I don't mess with Mother Nature. - Well, I'm really excited for my beach trip. - Hopefully Sam isn't there peeing next to me. - No. - And to be like children, that's not what we do here. - The Jersey Shore. - There's definitely a shore. - I'm sure everybody's picking up the shore. - Oh my God. - Yeah. - I mean everybody pees in the ocean, but it's like you go, you pee in the ocean. - Guys, I get to like, my knees. But like, I'm not going out. - You can't squat. - Or it's like, tick deep. - You go to have 45, you could squat. - Yeah. That's what he said. - Yeah, but, okay. - They're just squatting. - They're making that girl shitting in the water. - I feel like this conversation has gone too long for everything honest. - Okay. - This was crazy. - Well, agree to disagree. - We're going to move on. - Thank you. - Yeah. - The other day, I got home from being with you guys, like a week or two ago. And my husband was like, "Page, I do not know what our daughter is singing. She's singing the same thing over and over, something about Texas." - I know what she's singing. What she's saying, she's choosing Texas Sarkin' Texas. or she's using, sorry, not she. - So I was like, oh yeah, I know this song. I put it on and I was like, oh my god. I've been trying for days to figure out what she's saying. She's obsessed with this song. And so then I was like, okay, is this the song of summer? You know every summer, there's a song. Every summer? - Every summer. It, according to Google, it is shaping up to be. Not yet determined, summer's over. - Yeah, I didn't say it with the other. - Shapers are? - I didn't actually, I didn't, you know, I did the thing that you're not supposed to do, which I said is choosing Texas the song of the summer. - Yeah, so it kind of led you down that path. - It is shaping up to be in a song of the, yeah, I didn't, yeah, you were going to come all the way to Texas. - It wasn't objective, I didn't ask it the right question. But it says it's shaping up to be, which I believe, 'cause it's like, it's, 'cause you're in a beach town, like you're listening to country. - The second, yeah, we talked about this. - Yeah, I think it's actually a transcendent country. I feel like that's just like a song everybody. - Like Old Town Road. - Totally. - Yeah. - Old Town Road. - That used to be a bad song. - That song died too. - I think that song should still be played daily. - Oh, no, I'm gonna, that's a good song. - It's so good. - It's so good. - It gave Bob a big, - It's so good. - And you're really good. - Yeah. - Okay, so I wanted to see what the songs were from like the last few years. - The songs of the summer? - Billboard, Billboard decided this. So I feel like this is a reputable source. This is not a Google Gemini. - This is not, this is Billboard, okay? What do you think the song of the summer was? Last year. - 25. - I don't even remember last summer. - I'm gonna say my brain doesn't work in years like that. - I'm trying to think. - Can we have a hand? - Yeah, or can you give us like a, - Yeah. - Do you want the artist? - Yeah. - I think that's going to be a good one. - That's a good one. - It was on a lot of TikTok videos talking about walking down the aisle. - Taking me out, so, - Oh, what an area. - I'm sorry, that's what an area. - That's not a summer. - It was the song of the summer. - Interesting. - This is top song of the summer. - People are depressed. - I don't think what was there. - The second song was what I want Morgan Wallen featuring Tate McRae. - I feel like Morgan Wallen has made a lot of songs of the summer. - Well, when we talked about 2024, song of the summer. - It was Morgan Wallen. - It was part of it. Post Malone. - Yeah. - I had some help. - I love it. - That was a song. - Yeah. - That and followed up by which I loved was a bar song, "Tipsy" by Shabuzy. - So fun. - I love Shabuzy. - Shabuzy, so good. - He's on cowboy Carter. Those songs are good too. Yeah, I really like Shabuzy. - Yeah, I love Shabuzy. - Yeah. - And then, oh my god, 2023. - Don't tell me it was Morgan Wallen again. - Yes, I was. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Holy crap. - I listen to a lot of country music. I think that's a way out. - Every time he comes on, it's so hard 'cause I objectively don't like him. - Well, and he's not good-life. - Oh, is he not? - Yeah, he's not good. - Yeah, it's a lot of shows too, or is he? - He went through, I don't, you know, I want to reserve space for him as well. - I mean, being a choreographer is probably very difficult. - No, that's not what I'm restoring space for. - I think he's allegedly struggled with alcohol and was canceling a lot of shows. - And I didn't know about this. - I don't know. I just thought he was a little bit slurring. - Oh. - The iPhone incident did happen recently, which is also tough. - Yeah, that was tough. - He spoke about. - Well, it wasn't very nice. - Yeah, but he does make bangers. - This is the problem. So my friend, I saw him at a pool party, and he's not from the US. So he doesn't actually listen to a lot of like US music, he likes music from Maurice Roman. He loves just like, he also loves like EDM. So we're not usually in the same vibe, him and I. And he was like, I'm getting into country page. I was like, oh my god, EDM in country, I bought it a lot across the world. - Well, I was like, who are you listening to? He's like, Morgan Wallen. - Yeah. - He's like, oh, you know about Morgan Wallen, he's like, please don't tell me. I really like it. Please don't tell me. You know what I'm gonna tell you? He's like, I really like it. No, I'm gonna, he's not, I'm gonna have a pool. - Taking me back to God's country. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, well, I mean, a country sounded really good job at doing a lot of crossovers recently, with like rap, house, to get a little bit more, I don't know, in the mix, if you will. But I think the only thing that bothers me about country music that I think people don't speak about is there's actually the only like four people who write country songs and they just sling them out to all the artists, like a lot of the artists don't actually write their own music. So it's like. - I think this is true of motion, doesn't you think? I think most pop artists aren't writing their own songs. - Yeah, absolutely. - Keep going. - Okay. The second song of 2023, I actually have feelings about, this was not the top song, it was the second top song, Fast Car by Luke Holmes. I think awful version of that song. - Yes, Tracy Chapman, no one can-- - I don't think anybody needed to cover that. - People didn't know that she wrote it. - Okay, but wait, wait, wait, but, but, so I'm gonna be the devil's advocate here. I liked it. And Luke Holmes did bring out Tracy Chapman at the Grammys to sing it. - I'm not mad about Luke Holmes. I like Luke Holmes. - Yes. - I thought it wasn't good. Like, I just think he didn't do a good job on that song. Like, when I heard it, I was like, it feels like somebody trying to cover a song. - It was just very, like, chill. Like, it was very, it didn't have range to it. - I just, yeah. - It was a pleasant one. - I mean, I prefer the original version, but, I still liked it. I don't hate it. Like, if it comes out, I'm gonna listen to it. - I would say I didn't mind it. - It was hard. I'm not gonna ever check it off. But, I, when I was like, the first time I heard it, I was like, what is happening? - I just remember a lot of people, like, not knowing that there was an original version. - Yeah, nevermind. - Yeah, but that, I feel like that's happening. That's how you know we're getting older, also, is like, people don't know about original songs. - I have a family member who was trying to name a baby, and he was like, oh, but this is like a famous person, and I said, how old is that famous person? And he said, in his 70s, I said, you will not need to worry about that, because the people this child grows up with don't know who that is. - Oh my gosh. You know what my husband did the other day? So very niche to the car's two soundtrack, that we listen to frequently. One of the songs is I don't remember who covered it, but it's drive my car. He didn't know it was a Beatles song. And I like-- - So you're not a Beatles guy? - I don't even know. You don't have to be a Beatles guy. Am I right? - I don't think so. - I don't think so. - And then we have a Beatles Yodo card, and drive my car was playing, and he was like, oh, it's a song from cars, too. And I was like, oh my gosh. - That was like the song at the end of Minions, where they're all dancing in the jail. My kids still like think that it's a Minion song, and it's not. - What is it? - The song, I'll find it. - But I got the most niche TikTok video ever. Did you see the people singing like they were Minions? - No. - It is a competition where everybody sings a song as if they were a Minion. - Is this like a real competition? - Oh, no. It was people were dressed up in ballgowns, there were microphones, it was like an actual competition, and the people were so good. I'll have to send you the video after. - No, I haven't seen that. - Your algorithm's very good. All over the place. - It's so unique. - The song was everybody wants to rule the world. - Really? - Yeah. - But that's the Minion song. - Yeah. - No guys, that's the Minion song. - We're getting old. - We're just getting super old. - Okay. - 2022. - Oh, it's your boy. - Go on with concert. - Dirk's? - No. - Is it your boy? - I know, I got 30. - 30 is 2. - As it was. - Harry Styles. - Oh, I am great. - Followed up by about damn time, Lizzo. - I was 20, 22. - I was 20, 22. - Yeah. - That was in a good year. - Do you want to know, does anybody remember when Old Town Road came out? - 2019. - Yes. - I was going to say 2018. - I know because my friend got married. And that was our song. - Oh, awesome. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It was the number one song. Followed up by Bad Guy. - By Billie Eilish. - When was it a Despacito on there? - 2017. - Yeah. - 'Cause I think I told my guy got married. I was like kind of thinking of the songs. - What was 2021? - 2021. - See, this one BTS Butter. - What? - What are you going to say? What should I talk about? - I don't listen to BTS. - Oh, I don't. - I was like, smooth. - Like butter. - Oh, like criminal. - There, there's a kid up in it. - Don't make me say it. - That's a kid up in it. - Yes. - I don't know this song, but that was not ever a song of myself. - Oh my gosh. When you listen to it, you can't help but dance. - And it's followed up by Good For You by Olivia Rodrigo. Which I do like that song too. - Olivia Rodrigo, her new album is so good. - It's so good. - She is very talented. - So good. - She's so talented. - I get why allegedly Taylor Swift was threatened because. - There are also such different vibes. I feel like now. - Yeah. - Now. - Yes. - Yeah. - I went on a brand trip with Olivia's personal chef that travels with her on tour. - Yeah. - And she says, she openly says, like Olivia is like the greatest person her family's. So normal. So loving. Like, she's a really supportive team around her. - That's really nice. - That's great to hear. Because you just never know. - No. - Her new album's all about a kind of a breakup. It's like, I have to love sad thing, right? - Yeah. I don't know who she was dating. It's very Gen Z. - Very Gen Z. - It's very Gen Z. - I know what I really like. Like sometimes I'm just sitting there listening to Gracie Abrams and Olivia Rodrigo. - She's so bad. - She's so bad. - She's so good. - I know. You're not going to your breakup. - I'm reading all these books that are about like high school love. I'm listening to Olivia Rodrigo. - That makes you feel something. - Yeah. - It does. - That little version of you and there's still there. - Do you ever think that I will never feel like that kind of crushing it? You know, like when you were like 16 and you're like, oh, I have a crush on somebody. You're like, I don't know. You don't get that again once you get married. - You're just like, hey, can you hang up your towel? - Why's your towel way? - It's hopping the towel. - I do want to report back to the listeners that my mat now is hanging his towel differently. - Okay. - So he no longer puts it on the hook, which this I actually hate that he does this. - He just hangs over the shower. - It's a cross. - A lot of people are saying that it's still wet because of body hair. - Well, they're saying it's wetter. Their towels are wetter because they have body hair. - But it's like I dry my hair with a towel and it still dries and I have more hair. - I think it's because they don't do what I get to do squeegee. - I don't squeegee and I don't think it's that. - Do you squeegee? - No. - Do you think I squeegee? - But I think my mat was really good. He was like, "You're right, it is always wet." And I don't know one way. - Luke said that too. He was like, "You guys are right." - It's biological. - I'll figure something out. - Matt, my Matt's also not a very hairy guy. - Really quick. Can you go through just like 2015 into 2020, just so we can now, I don't even like a deep dive. - So I'm like a rock star, the baby featuring Roddy Rich. - The way you said the baby. - The baby. - It was a four in my way. - So baby. 2018, in my feelings Drake, and I like it, Cardi B, Bad Bunny, J Bell. Oh my gosh, best song ever. - Following up Despacito same year, second song was, "That's What I Like" by Bruno Mars, 2016. I was actually surprised by this. I was thinking it was gonna be chain smugglers, but it's not. It is one dance by Drake. - Ooh, that was a great one. - And- - It's probably 2016. - 2016. - So I gotta get it. - And can't stop the feeling just in Timber Lake. - Interesting. I just think of trolls now, every time I hear a call. - I know a fall from grace. - Ooh. - Yeah. I did look at what my, the year I graduated college, which I should've known, the number one time was Call Me Maybe, by Cardi Ray Jackson. - Oh yes. - That was, I was a senior year of college at the bars. - Yeah, 12th. - 2013. - Okay, so yours has blurred lines by Robin Thick. - It was like summer. - But Call Me Maybe it was still- - Well actually, I mean, I feel like it was after 2013 graduation, it's when blurred lines. It was like that summer. - Yeah, it was summer, it was in the summer. - Yeah, I think that song also has a lot of stigma around it. - Bored lines? - Yeah, and we're talking about blurred lines now. - And I totally get it, it's just a shame because the production on that song is amazing. For all that music video. - The music video. - Well then, weren't they thinking- - Emily Radikowski, yeah, that's how she got her- - Her fan. - Yeah. - Yeah, but I think looking back, we're all like, oh. - No, I'm saying, I agree, I just the production was really good on that song. So it's a bummer. - You know, they could've put a different lyrics on it. - What about my- - Yeah, what is Robin Thick doing these days? - Maybe that's why nobody knows. - I don't know. - Remember he was twerking, was he twerking with Miley that one time? - Oh, was he? - Yeah. - Was it like the- - He was eating more children than Miley. - He was eating more children than Miley. - He was editing the Christmas songs. What's the one? - Michael Booble. - They don't look anything like- - Why? - I don't know why, but in my mind, they're like the same person. - That is- - Robin Thick is problematic. - That is why it's- - I love- - Christmas is your phone. - I love- - I love Michael Booble, but I don't know why I see them in the same- - Are you all the people who are like Christmas in July? Like it's halfway through the year. - No, I wish I could be. - I love Halloween. - I love Halloween. - Yes, we do. - We are witches. - We are witches. - Okay, yeah, maybe we don't need to go down to Halloween rabbit hole 'cause I was gonna ask you decorate for Halloween. - I have the 10-foot skeletons. - Oh, do you? - Okay, so then who do you think about this? Is that all the people in my town leave them up year round and dress them for different holidays? - I know, and I actually like that. I've thought about it. We live next to like a forest. So I'm like, maybe I could do something with the forest. You were, I don't know. - I made a habit. - I'm like, no, what? I told Booze. - So what I do is you know how Costco gives you a rebate every year, so I take that money and I buy Halloween decorations with it, it's just my thing. So this year I'm gonna get, they now make the skeleton. - So we all know she renews in October. - Oh, it's her. - No, I were even in summer, but I just got my check. - Me too, but I will never go in. - So this year they had, well they had it last year too and I saw somebody did it. They put on their kitchen island. It's like half of the skeleton, the 10-foot skeleton, and it's huge. It's like seven feet wide, four feet tall, just the skeleton like ribs, head and arms going like this. I put on their kitchen island last year. I'm like, I might have to do that. - What do you mean? - Why? - How would you eat? How would you cook? - What do you mean, put it on your kitchen? - You'll move around it. - But like isn't the whole idea you want people to see it? - It's in my kitchen. Like my, I have like a great room in my house. - I want you to make all of your content at your island. - I'm gonna see you cut up some fruit next to the skeleton. - I've made skeleton focus content for two years now. I love my skeleton, I had a fight for my skeleton 'cause they were selling out at Home Depot all the time. - It's crazy, they're very sought after. - Yeah, I got the Walmart version, which not a good dupe. I couldn't get the right arm on, so they never had an arm, so I just laid it in the grass to make it like part of the decoration. - That could be, you know, the very real one. - So I wait for Christmas until November 1st. - Yeah, I'm not a big like Christmas in July. Like let's enjoy summer and then like, - I think that's also a content problem. I've been trying to awaken. A lot of my friends are like, I feel stressed because people are pushing out Halloween content now. - It is August. - And it's stressing me out. And I was like, ignore it. It's very much like a content. I think people are racing to push out Halloween content so that it's like July and they're doing it. - It's very strange, like let's not skip over the good stuff. Like I want to get through Labor Day. I want to go Apple picking. I want to decorate for Halloween. - Do you really want to go Apple picking? - I enjoy Apple picking. We, it's a whole thing. - Yeah, it's a hay ride. - It's 'cause I don't know, and apples. - Yeah, your fingers are a little bit older now. - Yeah, I mean, it wasn't as fun when I was like, baby wearing the bees. - The bees. - That's never been an issue for me, but yeah, I mean, ours always has like a corn maze and the kids do the corn maze. - It's so fun. - Yes, it is so fun. - That part is fun. - I mean, I went Apple picking every year even when I didn't have that. - Well, here's the thing. I think we brand it as Apple picking. I think the fun stuff are the doughnuts, the animals, the corn mazes, all of that. The actual Apple picking, it's like you do it for three seconds. You're like, we got a bag of apples, it's bounce. Let's go to the fun things. - Unless you're a child. I think the kids enjoy the picking 'cause they're climbing on a ladder. They're in a tree. Your kids don't do that? - No, they just go for the little, the low hangover. - Our Apple picking field orchard has ladders you can use and you can climb the actual trees and you can go all the top and you pull the apples down. - That's nice. So it's more of an adventure. - Yeah, that's exciting. We have all different kinds of apples. I always thought the best part about Apple picking was going home and just making a shit to an Apple Crisp. I love Apple Crisp. - And you won't get the parasite. - And it will. - 'Cause you're cooking the apples. - I hope we're not. - It's so bitey. - It's a freaking bug. - I know, it keeps getting me too. It's like a freaking bug. I thought it'd take time. I said to Matt about this bug, what was it, man? Have you ever seen those when people were done to be there, if I was a bee? And it's like a bee is just chilling and it's a wasp and it's like, what? But it was this guy who was being a fly. - Was it a fly? - It was. - It was, it was, it was, it was, it was my ears. - And the whole day it was just, it was so annoying. - It's just so annoying. It just flies by your ears. - That has a cross-body desk. - It was. - Well, your house was very different than yours. - Your house was very, if you have the minions saying, I do, I tell you, I'll send it, it's actually very entertaining. - Okay. - It takes talent. - It sure does. - Yeah. - All the impersonations, like I think of Ariana Grande when she goes on those talk shows and she does all the versions. - It's incredible. - It's incredible, she is so talented. - She just kids in her Boston show day. And I think another one. Two to safety concerns, something like that. - Mm, yeah. - I didn't hear that. - Yeah. - There's a lot going on with Ariana Grande. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah, there was rumors of a new boyfriend. Probably just PR. - Yeah, get off of Ethan Slater. - It was one of the guys who was one of the guys who's in her song, like, wrote some songs about Ricky. - Yeah. - It was Ricky. - Oh. - People are going to leave comments on this video. Be like, please stop singing. - Yeah. - You guys are bad. - Yeah, we're very bad. - And I was in the talent show. (laughing) - You are beautiful. - It's a lot of time. - Yeah, so she is rumored, but I think it's a PR play, just trying to like shift focus from. - Yeah, I mean, I want Ethan Slater off my desk as well. SpongeBob. - SpongeBob. - SpongeBob, I can't get that out of my head now. - I know there's a lot going on with Ariana Grande, but I, I don't know the wicked about all. I just have such a, like, every time I hear her sing, I'm like, she's just so talented. - She's so talented, and I was really happy for her that she got that role. It's all she ever wanted. - It's all she ever wanted. - I know, here are your interviews of like how she got it. When she found out. - And now, this is why I was so jealous of her. - That can sing. - Yes. - This is also why I always tell people, I'm like, whoever you are today, doesn't have to be who you are in like 10 years. Like, I look who I was 10 years ago, and what I was doing for work, what I'm doing now, look what my life is like, it's like Ariana Grande started out on a Nickelodeon show, and then she was the ponytail girl, you know, riding a spin bike in a music video. - You know, and look at her now. - Look at her. - She's Glinda. - That was some little motivating speech. I wasn't expecting that. - Yeah. - I really liked that. - You could be anything you want. - You could be anything you want to be. - You could be Glinda. - I don't think, take him, but you could drink. - I would prefer to be alpha, but I have the choice, but I also can't say. - To find gravity, but if I could say, I would, I would. - Should be limitless. - I'm just trying to say. - You can't even try to say now. - I'm not gonna try. - I was gonna try, but I think you know what? We're just gonna not. - There was this, oh my gosh. There was a trend where people were trying to hit the defying gravity note, like seriously. - Oh, I love that trend. - Hilarious. - I think I do that in my car every week. - That absolutely, but it was so funny. I was like, I wish I had the confidence to put that out there. - You know, when Noah Conn sings, they should put cameras in the traffic light. - Yeah. - So they give me a star, I'm like, yeah. Definitely be a star if you recorded me my car. - Well, he can say that, 'cause he can put it in. - I know, you know what, we're really long time. I didn't know he was talking about somebody talking about him. I thought he was talking about someone else. I was like, well, he has a friend who's a good singer. - Oh, yeah. (laughs) - Nope. - I had to listen to it a few times. I was like, oh, got it. - Just him. - Yeah, just him. But yeah, it sounds way better in the car. (upbeat music) - Okay, so I said, you guys just in the group chat last night, but I was scrolling on social media and the reason my brain ADHD is going here is pink and green, Galinda and Alphaba. - Is in Finland, I believe. A way to meet people if you're single is brilliant. Is if you are single and looking for love or just open to meeting someone in the grocery store, you can select a pink basket, and that's how you know that you're single. So other people that are shopping in the store that have a pink basket, you're just like, you know. - This is why they're so happy. - I know. - And maybe make eyes. Like how cool is that? - It's like a red, or stop like, traffic light party in college, where it's like if you're taken, you are red. If you're like in a complicated situation, if you are yellow and if you're single, you are green. - I've never went to those? - Yes. - I thought you were talking about being at a stop light in the car. - Yeah, they have those parties in college. It was really big like freshman year when you were like meeting people. It was very smart. - Yeah, that is. - Yeah, it's like, what was your Facebook like relationship status face face face face face face face face? - Oh my gosh, do you remember that? - That was really, that meant something for us. Now I don't even know if mine says anything. - I don't have a Facebook. - It's gone. - I keep mine for the mom groups. Like a lot of them like, who's your teacher? like class of 2040. Yeah, but I feel like we need to like have a new system for that. Like, there needs to be a better place for it. Because everyone's still going there just for that. It's the easiest place to build a free. Yeah, where it's like, and people still have it. Like, already have their. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I only use it basically for that. But how, like, how brilliant is that? And so simple, because I think about, I don't know about you guys. But how do you know? Is there a good sign that's like, this is for you, if you're sent to me? Yeah, yeah, it's like a known thing. And then the other ones are great. Do you imagine being a foreigner, going to Finland, and just picking up their own basket? We'll keep hitting on you. The people in Finland are quite aggressive. They're so friendly. They're friendly as well. I was picking up apples. Oh, no, but like a blurred line, blurred line. But like, I think about like, you know, we have some mutuals that are single or like talk about like, being on dating apps and like, call you meet people these days. I mean, we're three married women with multiple children that are actively not looking for relationships. But I can't imagine being on a dating app and being like, looking at guys that are like, touting their snap score. And like, that's what you're dating for. Like a snap score, like a snapchat? Yeah, like a snap score. That's like on people's dating profiles now. It is? Why is that on a dating profile? Well, I know. What would that tell me about? The new spend way too much fucking time on your phone? Like, snapping people like pictures of yourself? Yeah, it's like a thing. Game, snap scores. Can you fill a page in a little bit? Do you have a snap score? What's your snap score? I mean, mine's really long. I don't use snapchat. And you have your girlfriend, you're not? Yeah. I don't know before. Like stopping, but it doesn't matter. Yeah, I think, and I remember in high school, it was like, you were cool if you had a high snap. You were snapping a lot of people. Peace, smiling, dex, smiling. Yeah, I just think I, I don't even know if I have a snapchat. Oh, I don't. I don't anymore. I don't think I do. I think I don't use it, but I don't know if I ever deactivate it. Like, it's probably still like, it's crazy. Maybe that snapchat is still alive and well. Very much so. Like, I feel like nobody saw that coming. Yeah. No, that felt like a vine moment. Yeah, I was just going to go away. Yeah, yeah. So like, if you guys were single right now and you wanted to meet people, how would you, where would you go? Well, that's a tricky question. Finland. Real grocery shopping. I don't know that I would. No offense to the people in Finland. It's far away. It's a long-distance relationship. It just feels complex. Yeah, yeah, you'd have to fly there. I don't know if I can get back on the dating apps with. No. I think the problem with dating apps is you would meet so many people that were really good at like, online chat and then you meet in person and they're duds. Yeah. It's like, nowadays, could you imagine all the AI responses you're probably getting? Oh, we're there like, people. It's on dating apps. I bet there's people who are like, "Oh, write something quirky back. Write something funny back." Oh, my gosh. You know what? Not to bring back to Love Island again. But that's been a big problem with Love Island seasons because they pick people off TikTok who are like so funny, charismatic, outgoing, and then they put them on TV and they're duds. Well, because at TikTok's 60 seconds, it's like, it's very, yeah, but so you think these people are like really fun. They're gonna be really charming and then they're just like, they don't speak. They don't do anything. And it like, yeah, it's tough. I feel like that would be, like, I bet you could, in an instant be like, "Oh, that profile was made by Jaxi BT." This response is probably-- You see the MDA. Oh, no, yeah. It's just the double-dash. The double-dash. I just feel like, I feel like I would be looking for that. Like, this isn't real. Yeah. I'd be worried. I'd be very worried. And like, are the pics AI? This is a few weeks ago. Did you guys see on TikTok, the guy who sent the voice note to the girl he went on the first date with? It was all over my algorithm. I should have sent it to you in the group chat. Wait, the pig? The group chat. Or the animal? No. This guy sent a voice note to a girl after a first date. And he was like, "Hey, just want to send this voice note, like, had a really great time with you. But just want you to know, like, he sounds very mature and very charismatic." And he's like, "I just, it's really important to me to know that there's sexual chemistry. So unless you can guarantee me that we're having sex on the second date, I don't think it's worth us doing this." And it's this whole thing. And there's this whole online conversation going on about whether or not it is consent or not consent. They're like, he's saying what he wants, and he's giving her permission to say yes or no to a second date. And then all these other people are like, "No, he's a coercing her into saying like, I won't date you unless you, I don't know. It was crazy. You have to, I'll send it in the group chat." I think, I mean, on one hand way he says it's very. Yeah, I haven't heard it. So I don't know. I haven't heard it either. I think it's tough because it's like, I mean, I just wouldn't go on a second date with him because it's just like anybody who says that. I'm like, what a weirdo. Yeah, that's like red flag. How is it, yeah. It is valid to want to have sexual chemistry with a partner. I mean, you can have sexual chemistry without having sex. And you can find out after the second date. And it can build. Yeah. So like, if someone says it like, good for him for stating his needs, stating what he believes, but then it's like, if you feel that way. But then it's also weird, it's weird. Oh, it's weird. Don't be wrong. That's fucking weird. But then you don't have to continue. See, this is the problem I wouldn't be able to date because I'd be like, no, we haven't gone on 10 date yet. I will not be going home with you. I would want to know somebody. You've a 10 date rule. I think I have a 10 date rule. I think it depends who they are. I guess, but I think I would be approved. I think I would be what you would call approved. I would be like, no, thank you. I don't know you well enough. No. I think it depends so because also when you're older, it's like in conversation. You're like, these are, this is what I want. These are the values on the floor. Somebody has those. It's like, you might be more likely. I don't know. You're not opposed to saying. Who's used to saying? What is there? You know how there used to be the rules? It's like a three date rule or a four. You know, all your friends are there. It's like that book. Did you ever read that book? Why Ben loved bitches? What? Okay. It was like a popular dating book. I actually saw somebody posted it a few weeks ago. And maybe like, I text all my college friends like laughing about it. So it was like this guide book basically about why Ben loved bitches. And so in theory, I think it is correct because it's basically saying like, if a man texts you, like wait to text him back because you don't want to be too available. And it's like, if it's basically, if you're a confident person and you truly mean it and you're cup is full by yourself because you're hanging out with your friends, like what it's saying, I think really is the truth and what applies, but you're doing it because you're busy and your cup is full and you're hanging out with your friends and you have your job and you're not prioritizing this. But it's like basically telling you to avoid and suppress your needs to pretend to be this person. That's like, oh yeah, you don't need to text me back right away. And oh, we can, it's like if a man text you says let's hang out tonight, you say I'm busy, even if you're not, because they should be planning dates earlier than that. So this book is teaching girls to be that way, you're saying? Yes, so it was like, when you would do it, it would all totally work. But the thing is like, you're completely suppressing, you're actually, and you're playing a game and then it's like, okay, but the second you get together, you're not like that anymore. And it's like, you completely switch it up. You need a prompt response to this text message. Yeah, so it's like, it's setting everybody up for failure in the situation. It's like kind of like the whole like cool girl thing. That's what I was going to say, the cool girl. Yeah, I can like, it all just comes back re-branded every so often, and it's also like right now, everything is like the de-centering men conversation and it's like, endating and everything where it's like, no, it's not my time, it's on my, whatever. I do get the idea of like, no, you shouldn't text me night up, like you should text me a day before to plan a date or whatever. Like that, for me, it's more just about like, how do you engage in adult relationships? Yeah, I think as we get older, like the very simple like, if he wants to, he will. Well, when people are like, oh, we didn't have time to, it like takes two seconds to sign a text message. I never understand that I didn't have time to send you a text today. Yeah. I'm like, I used to, I used to oversee customer success and I used to tell people like, I don't care. If we have no idea where their package is, they should never email us looking for it. Like, it's our job to say like, hey, we're looking into it. We'll keep you posted. I have no update right now. I'm like, I hate when people have to chase somebody for an answer. I think that applies in just regular relationships. And I'm a bad texture as you both know. But I think being able to tell someone like, hey, I'm a bad texture or like, I don't communicate. Well, that's different than saying like, I'm too busy to text you. Yeah, I'm not prioritizing. Speaking of texting actually. I took this in the group chat. This green chat from my mom. She goes, Paige, aren't there boys in the room during your podcast? I said, yes. She said, she said, do they find it a little mean the way that you talk about men? Maybe his mom is concerned. Are you guys concerned? She's like, do you think it hurts their feelings? I was like, I don't think so. But then again, Gabe does it. No, it doesn't hurt my feelings. I said, he's a good man. I said, Gabe is a good man who is secure in himself. He's a good voice, Savannah. And we give him a mic and we give him a platform. I said to my sister, I said, no, Gabe likes us. When she goes, that's what you think. I know. That's what he's job. Maybe he's paying for it. If he curses at us and tells us to staff often. My mom literally said to the other blue, hi, love you, hope you're having a nice weekend. But aren't there boys in that room? What do you do to the podcast? Yeah. Yes, mom, there are. Speaking of texting too, her texting is abysmal. Like the way boomers text. It's no emotion, basically no punctuation. It kind of always feels like they're just angry at you. And they're just sending like seven texts that have nothing to do with each other. Oh yeah, my mother and I will talk to text, but she'll just keep going and going and going. And then I'm like, there's 12 questions in here. I can't answer any of these. I just answered the first and then I just said, there you go. She needs Michelle. That's all they want. My mom sent me a selfie. She always sent selfies in this like sun hat. I bought her. And I would actually say catching up on the most recent jug episode. Oh, mom. She's a jugger. She's a jugger. Jugger, not jugger. Yeah, yeah. But anyways, they're worried about you guys. I hope you're doing okay. Yeah, the mom's the mom. We give them candy. Yeah, I mean, puppy chow. And with other gifts, I think last week we gave them canned fish. We gave you creed tea. Creed tea. Yes, we're making him stronger. Protein, creed tea, candy. We're eating them. We're allies. We're doing everything we can to eat. - Yeah. - A mystery. - Yeah. - Well, we're gonna have fresh breath. - All right, well, we have a lot more we can talk about but we gotta go. - All right, bye, bye. - Bye. - Thank you so much for listening to the Just Us Girls podcast.
