The episode of "Justice Girls" centers on a lighthearted yet insightful reflection on American identity, culture, and personal values, marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. independence. The hosts, Paige, Katie, and Sam, discuss their evolving relationship with the American flag—some feel it’s a source of pride, others see it as politically charged or outdated. They share personal stories, such as removing a flag from their Florida home in 2021 due to neighborhood tensions, and reflect on how deeply symbols like flags are tied to community and identity. The conversation expands into humor-filled discussions of cultural habits: they critique traditional 4th of July foods like hot dogs and potato salad, debate the absurdity of "devil eggs" and s'mores, and share anecdotes about drinking, farting, and social awkwardness at gatherings. They also touch on fashion, like the resurgence of rompers and the discomfort of being seen naked, and reflect on generational changes in body image, gender norms, and social behavior. The group highlights how personal freedom and self-expression have shifted over time, from schoolyard pranks like "dare" to modern choices about clothing, food, and social norms. Amid the humor, there’s a deeper commentary on how Americans navigate identity—balancing tradition, comfort, and authenticity in a changing world. The episode blends personal nostalgia with cultural critique, offering a witty and relatable look at what it means to live in America today.
(upbeat music) - Welcome to "Justice Girls" that is Paige, Katie, and Sam. Quick housekeeping, it's July 4th week, the 250th anniversary of our country. (laughing) - So we are at Broadway Blue. - We are reclaiming it. We are continuing from that one episode. What is so funny? - I just can't with the 250th. I just think it's so big one. - It's not big, but it's a big bird. - In Charleston this past week, it was everywhere. Like celebrating 200 if it's on every shirt. I should have got you guys some merch, but. But this right here, every time I looked in the mirror, like before we got on, it feels like exposure therapy. Like I can't, when is the last time you guys wore a flag in public? - 1996. (laughing) - You'll maybe, you'll maybe T. - I told you guys, she's loving her old Navy T. The other day we were going to the lake, and she's like, where's my flag T shirt? It's vintage. - Where's it? I was like, I hit it. 'Cause I'm trying to, like, get you to wear anything else. - Right, the lake. I feel like at the lake. - Wait, the place but the problem with the lake is, it's a new hamster. We know the new hamster's purple. They're living for you, they're dying hard. You don't know who you're going to encounter up there. - Yeah. - Yeah, I feel like, and I don't know if it's 'cause I'm in Florida, as we know, by now. But like being on the subway on the way here, it's still, you know, pride is June, and there was rainbow flags, and it just felt like great. And then I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm going to put this on. But so when I bought my home in Florida, there was an American flag in the front. - What year was this? - 2021. - Was it on a flag pole? - Flag pole, and the first thing we did when we moved in was took it down. Because in our state, in our neighborhood, if you are flying an American flag, it means something. - It means something. - Yeah, but that was by then. - That was sad. - I know, but all my neighbors had fuckbite and flags out as well. So I am happy to reclaim this flag, and take a step. - If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Like those flags are just, oh, yeah. - Oh, the fuckbite. - It's just one of those things where it's like, you don't have to like him. You don't have to fly a flag about it. - Well, I think it's even like the flags with Trump on it. Like I would never fly a flag with Biden's face on it. Like, you know what I mean? Like the obsession is a lot. - Yeah, and you would, like, even if you like, I remember the flag. Did you have flags as a kid? My mom always had like a seasonal flag on the side of the house. - We didn't know. We weren't flagged. - We weren't flagged. - My mother was. But it was like a spring flag in a flag. - I mean, I knew people would do the little one in the yard, you know, it was like a. - I have a goose. I have a porch goose. I think he is my flag. - Is he picturesque? - Because you dress him. - Well, right now, he's in a happy birthday suit because it was my daughter's birthday powder. - Oh, he changed. - Yeah, most likely. I mean, I should probably rush order it on the end of my life. - I was going for it. - You didn't prime day himself, but maybe H.D. catches up with me sometimes. But yeah, that's what's great about prime. - Yeah. I feel like people are starting. We're like turning that corner, though, where I think there are enough people who are saying, like, I just want to wear a shirt. I want to celebrate, but not like that. - Yeah, I want to party. I'm here. I like country music. - Most of it. - Most of it. - You like jerks. - I like country music so whole. I love the feeling. Do you ever feel like, so I love country music? Sometimes I feel like in the winter, I can't listen to it. And I like wait until I can put a window down. - I want to drive with a window down. - It's a whole different vibe. - Yeah, you need to be like laying on a float in a pool. - Absolutely. I need that drink in my hand. - A high new in your hand. - Yeah, it's not a winter. It's not a winter vibe. - It's not a winter activity. - Yeah. - A lot of the songs are also about like swimming outside in your car. - Yeah. - Yeah, exactly. - It's like fun, too. - Very neat. - You know what I'm saying? - Yeah. - I think I do sing that. - I love it. - A little bit of town. - That are, they're country, but they're any time of the year, I feel like. - I can just be healthy, Valorini, Marin. - Yes. - I can listen to any of the women year round. - Well. - We're gonna listen to a man, the window has to be down. - Yeah. - I gotta be able to play a game with my ears. - Yeah. - And a special drink. - Yeah. - Yeah, just soothe me. - Yeah. - Exactly. - Yeah. - I don't know. I did his vibe. I like it. - Yeah, what are you all gonna do for the fourth? - For the big one. - For the big two five. - Just celebrate the big two five oh. - I haven't made any plans as of yet, probably a barbecue, like grill out those kind of things. How about you guys? - We'll do a full party. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It's supposed to be like a hundred and five degrees. - I don't know. - It was a hundred and one in Florida yesterday. - Yeah. - It would be a hundred all week. It's painful. - What? - I saw somebody on Instagram put something up with it. It was like, anybody else noticed how this summer so much hotter than last summer? And every in the comments are like, yes. - Ooh, like yes. - Yes. - We've known it. - It's a problem. - Global warming. - Welcome. - Yeah. - Welcome to the combo. - We all feel it. - Yes. - Yeah, well that's what, so DC obviously, the big two five oh. - Big big. - Big celebration. - Yeah. - You're supposed to be like a half an hour firework show. I'm not going downtown for it. - Can you see it from where you are? - No, actually, maybe if we go to like a rooftop nearby, but it's gonna be a hundred five degrees, so definitely not. - Yeah, you don't want to be an Olympic parade like packed in when you can't move, no air flow. - Yeah, people go and they, we used to go when I was younger over here and you go at the beginning of the day, you camp out on the national mall with like your blanket, everything, it was so fun and like they have all these activities. But yeah, we're not going this year. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It'll be fun. And I don't even think my kids know what's happening. - What do you mean, like July 4th? - Yeah. - Yeah. - They'll know that day. - They're never old enough. - Yeah, yeah. - No, they're old enough to like no holidays. - Yeah. - I think they are unaware that this is like a foundation. - Of our nations and dependents. - Yeah. Like cool, 'cause I feel like for the last few years, like COVID times, we didn't really celebrate very much on the 4th, it was just our family. And then it's felt a little icky for the last few years. But we've always gone to fireworks because actually, the other day, we were at the lake and I told my daughter that the boat doesn't work at night, like in the dark, 'cause she went to do something in the dark and I was like, no, it's solar powered. - Yeah. - The boat doesn't work at night and she goes, that's so weird. 'Cause remember last year in the 4th of July, we took the boat to see fireworks, magic powers. - And it was like holidays are an exception to the rule. - It only works when there's fireworks. - Like fireworks, I think my kids genuinely love a fireworks. - Yeah. - I think mine are yours too young. - Mine are too young. - Are your young-ins, they like the fireworks? - Yeah, see, I think mine, they don't like the fun there. - Oh, they don't have headphones. - Yeah. - So it's like noise, not canceling. - Yeah, but not as loud, stimulating. - I don't know, it's like our four-month-old. - No. - I don't know, that's too much. - No, do you guys know, I went to NASCAR once. Really wild, it's not true America. I was gonna say, what were you doing there? - I was, I didn't know what I was getting into. There was a NASCAR racetrack in New Hampshire and I was probably 1920, I was underage. And I went with my now husband and his friends and it was the wildest experience of my entire life. - Were you sober, though, right? - I was sober. - She was underage. - No, she's an offender. - Is anybody offender or drugs? - I have everyone home. Of course you were. - That's terrible. - That's why they invited you. - Exactly, and there was, I was driving this massive truck and he had two massive American flags flying off the back. And I was like driving it with these three drunk guys in the car, I was like, I don't know. And then one of them was like, those flags, we have to get the flags down. They're gonna get ruined on the highway. And I was like, I don't care about your flags. So it made me pull over and then it was a sobriety check point. And I'm like 19 years old. I'm like, I actually haven't been drinking. I was like, but these guys have. And I have to take these freaking flags off this truck. - And the cops like lady just go through. - He's like girl, he's like just, I was like crying. I was like, I was like, I hate all of that. I was like, let me go, please, I gotta go. - Yeah. - People had babies at NASCAR. And like they had those like earmuffs on them. And like, why is this supposed, what's on these like vibrate? - What's the movie with Will Ferrell with the, - Talladeganite. - Talladeganite. - Yes. - I let's do Delaware for a while. And Dover has a huge brace track. I never went. But when I was driving to University Delaware, I would always have to pass through Dover. So you always have to pass through the events. And I mean, it's a cultural phenomenon. - I mean, I live by Daytona. It's huge. - Oh my gosh. - Come on down to Florida. - Is there selling, like they were selling tires? - I mean, I would say that's actually kind of efficient, you know, something I would actually use, just to store a way later. - Yeah. - Not like another mug. - You know about tires? - That's a, that's a man's job. - You can never just replace one. - That is a blue job, not my job. - No, or like, I like pop tires left and right. My husband's always like how? - What, like a nail or like a true pop? - No, like a nail. - Yeah, that's your fault. Why is there a nail in the road? - He's like, there's always nails. - There's always nails. - And I'm like, yeah, that I have a choice. - Yeah, you can't, like, I'm not choosing. - It's not like you're off road from a nail. - No, yeah, like a lot of my tires have been stolen twice. - All four. - All four. - All four. - What do you mean? - Or off of your car? - Off of my car. That also felt like a true American experience. I felt like I was living in the '60s. Like, come outside and my car is on milk brakes. - Wait, in your driveway, in your residential home? - When I go to Boston. - No, when I go to Boston. - Well, I don't think in the '60s. - Oh yeah, my dad was like, yeah, pay attention. He knows that. I was like, what do you mean? Everybody knows that. - What? - Well, we're just getting our tires stolen. - Yeah, it wouldn't just be my car. So like, in South America, which is like where Whitey Balder was, like, big mobster, it had a lot of organized crime for a while. And one of the organized crimes, which is stealing tires and reselling them. So, in one night, I drove a Honda Accord. Apparently, they are the most sought after tire because they've never changed them. So, they fit on any Honda Accord of any year of any sort. - This is way more information. - We're learning a lot about tires. - Well, anyways, my car got hit, but it was like, there'd be like, 40 cars in one night, we'd all get our tires stolen. - I mean, that's incredibly efficient. - Yeah. - I wonder if they've outlasted so long. - Yeah. - They've had a system going, organized crime is efficient. - I know, one at a time. Like, 40 at the same time. - Where do they put them? Like, what are they transporting them? - They sell them. - No, but like, okay, you get 40 tires in a night. How are you? - Well, they're not doing it. I think it's a crew. - Yeah, it's a crew. - People all over. I mean, incredibly efficient. - Yeah. - It's a business. - It's a business. - It's a business. - It's a business. - I mean, hey, that's the thing. If I were buying the tires, I probably wouldn't be like, did you steal these from someone? Like, why are they so cheap? - No. - You wouldn't ask. - I think there's a lot of things you order online. - I was actually stolen.
So yeah, that's why it like CVS now they lock like face wash behind the counter cuz people just take it and then they sell it on like Amazon Oh really? Oh, yeah Oh, sorry That's why you have to like ring the doorbell you're like it's me. I want to deal with it And you have to look at the virus on the verified seller to make sure that it's actually product Yeah, I feel like the only used to lock baby formula like and now it's like everything's lost And it's a we're going to lock the baby formula like for so long you just get a gun and it's like the baby formula. God for me to steal it Oh my gosh, sorry. Did I make that dark? No, I think that is an accurate statement. It's like please make it harder to get a gun I know baby formula Right Remember when it was like rationed and you could only get like one can a week and I was like I need more Oh my gosh, string COVID that was so so scary And before I put it short on something in it, that was horrible That was really scary And yet you have ammunition, whatever you want and happy 250 at the minute of that Keeping America free All right, so we've already talked about how Katie and I don't like hot dogs That is a psychomu I love pigs I just like wasn't ready for that like I like turtles I want a pet pig so it's like I cannot eat a hot dog that just feels Too close to home Yeah Okay I think they taste disgusting, they smell disgusting Which is why I don't eat them, I also do like pigs I think they're very sweet They're very intelligent They are very sweet So it's like that book, did you read that book with octopus?

Hot dogs Hot dogs Yeah, hot dogs I don't eat them often but I do feel like they're like a barbecue staple And an American staple And my kids really like Yeah, yeah The only reason I brought it up is because the other day we were grilling And my husband was like Oh, we're gonna have hot dogs, burgers, and s'mores And I was like, I freaking hate s'mores What?

I agree with you with the sensory stickiness Because I mean, I feel like you over stimulation ADHD Do you have sensory stuff too? Because.

Yes All I'm getting dense beans salad Fibers are really good for you Of course Is it? It was a joke Did somebody tell me that the reason people fart when they eat beans is because you're supposed, that's why you rinse them It's the coating that's on the beans in the can And if you rinse them thoroughly, that will help mitigate the farting It can maybe, but no, you're still getting fiber in there I'm not taking it apart I'm not taking it apart I'm not taking it apart You're not taking it apart No, it's a person in real life I was talking to somebody, IRL Interesting Interesting I mean, it can make sense because it depends on what bean Because you know, like how a chickpea you get some, yeah You're getting some coatings off there, I get that Did your parents ever eat baked beans with brown bread?

Yeah, and then he would just eat a pint of ice cream And he was like sometimes so it's different and it wasn't for him He would literally be in the bathroom for a second later for an hour, and he was like it's just sometimes worse Sometimes it is worth it. Well, they have lactate. I don't know why he isn't taking this was a long time ago This was well, I'm sure they had a fact that they did He was so easy probably wasn't aware. I was just saying was he also drinking. Oh well actually drinking an ice cream is quite Yeah, but it was like did he like pizza when he was drunk? Well, so he was supposed to be sober, but then I found out he wasn't so yeah I hate things like that. Yeah, I was really okay. Yeah, I was really sad So but the ice cream I think had had nothing to do with that I know that ice cream just happened to be a thing that he was also addicted to I get bad and Jerry's yeah, and we go to the bathroom quite often But like it was him and it was like three girls in this house. We were all like joke. Can you stop please? Yeah, you just please stop It's incredibly disrespectful. Yeah, we all live here.

Like all the people from the World Cup right are loving America. Yeah, they're eating our food. There is craziness But like when we go to Europe, I always like oh, I don't I can eat gluten there and I can have dairy there and it's like But everybody's like that's not actually true I don't think it is I I truly chalk it up to the behaviors that like we all get in our fucking car and drive everywhere When you're there, you're walking how many thousands of steps like you're not less than 20,000 steps I feel like a day in Europe. Yeah, you're drinking coffee. You might have a vacation cigarette. You're slowly I came out of nowhere. I was I was riding that ship with you. I was like, yes, I'd love to walk in Europe I love my cup of coffee. Have you ever had a cigarette? Or maybe I do already have life insurance before you say this. I do We're not to bring it down but we're not broke up But like when I was 18, maybe I had one cigarette because I was I know I had a Cicarello, what are they called? Like a black and mild black and mild the wine flavored black and mild. Oh wait So you've never had a cigarette page? No, I should know because I grew up on the pair in his smokes and I hated it so much Yeah, I was sitting the car with my shirt over my face being like can you please open a window? See that's what that's so wild For me, it was like a truck. Yeah, you wouldn't do a stupid. I didn't want it Yeah, and I like it but all my friends would be like page like when they were drunk. They'd be a cabin and I'm like no Yeah, I'm not being but in Europe, they just don't binge on anything like I remember being over there So then not as much food intake truly but no truly like people from Europe, but whenever I was there years ago They were like you You have 10 drinks in an I do you ever not remember like I remember talking to them. I was like all the fucking time But like over there they're drinking wine when they're like seven years old and they just grow up with it So I feel like their alcohol intake is way lower than ours in our country I think it depends on the culture, but I think that's like my cousins live in England and they're like yeah, like It's not a drinking culture here is not the same as there because it's not this like Forbidden I didn't know my brother actually is headed to Europe today with his family and my nephew was 15 and there's going to Germany first Yeah, you can drink that he can drink at 15 with his parents present. Yeah, I was like I had no idea that was a thing I took German for a really long time and I learned a lot about drinking culture in Germany How do you say beer in Germany or in German? Your B.I.E.R. Burr. Oh, I thought it was going to be more fun than that. Did you go to Germany? No, my We hosted an exchange student. Oh Um, I think my sister ran for a couple weeks for as an exchange student. I don't go. I had a boyfriend I was like I'm not gonna go to Germany. You're really stunted my growth. Yeah That's you can go to Paris. I was just gonna say you didn't go to Paris. Yeah, I didn't go to Madrid either I wanted to go in college and I didn't go because I was like oh, that's a really long time away And now as an adult, I'm like if my daughter's ever make that choice No, that's wild. That's why I ended up moving to California. I was like yes, what I'm doing My sister. One of my sisters. We visited my oldest sister. She was studying abroad in South Africa She went to Africa for two weeks and she didn't come because she didn't want to miss any high school classes We still make fun of her. We're like you're such a loser. Yeah, like are you so bad? Yeah, I'm very sick. You care about class. Actually, I did get perfect attendance in my school Of course she did about. How do you feel about that? That was worth it I actually feel like it maybe who I am. Did you get perfect attendance in college? Sure did. Oh I know one class because nobody was offering her drugs or alcohol. She just literally she I always have check records for attendance So at Penn State like in the 720 person class hall I would just give my clicker to my roommate and she would click me in and I like didn't know I missed an exam once Yeah, I just skip class and look at her and she said no I can't be you Oh, yeah, and look worse here. And how do you feel after? I'm did I turn out okay? She's alive. She felt alive Yeah, I found my my right path. I don't know.

Everybody had dare Can we talked about this didn't I tell you guys about the penguin t-shirt? What Please lightness, but yeah, we all had dare Yeah, but like don't you feel like dare was a little bit of like I don't know I just don't feel like it was like an MLM scheme. I think it was weird. It was weird. It was weird. Dare was weird It was they would try to scare you into like not doing drugs for me. It didn't scare us. We had a Yeah, it's a hard drive. I've never snorted anything. Same I was right. I was also afraid to start something My dare wasn't talking about snorting It was like I don't know what I know Yeah, don't snore. It was like don't do cigarettes, but it's like no my talk to a meth It was crazy. They said math like they were talking about like hard drugs too I don't remember them like specifically naming drugs, but I do feel like everybody knows there's like a classification of drugs like in your mind Like not not in the fourth grade I didn't yeah, but as you get older when you're like you go to college and you face like somebody offers you a joint for the first time It's a very different like interaction that's something for you one It's just actually what happens. Look at this. Let me explain it to you. Okay, right? Yeah You'll be at a party and people will break out of joint and you'll be like standing in a circle probably outside the party Just like getting some air somebody will say like hey, you want to hit right? That's how you get off her drive You see this in the movies in the cinema So I was outside the car all the fish That is a very low-risk kind of like yeah you get a little anxious the first time But it's like it's very low risk where it's like if you're at a party and someone has cocaine They offer it to you like that feels a lot scarier. I don't know if you agree Sam. Yeah, no, I agree I agreed that cocaine was everywhere in college. I feel like we've talked about this before where it was everywhere And it definitely like I would be in the room with it and then I would I would always like remove myself from the room Yeah, I felt like a little I would think my dare officer and I'm like I I side that pledge. I'm not doing it But we designed t-shirts. I gave my word out. Did you guys they made it a competition for us? We all designed Something that could go on a t-shirt. We did that too Yeah, yeah, there's two penguins and one was smoking a cigarette and the other one was like stop it I would love to get that vintage gene. Do you happen to still have that? I would like to see a clear day in my mind these two misshapen penguins The fact that it was a cigarette too I just I like totally can picture though being in fourth grade to be like I have an idea Don't take it. Yeah, and it's just like because that's how you thought it was gonna go down Yeah, I remember also having a lot of gusto behind me after that where like my grandmother was smoking it was like Oh, that's bad for you. I do remember when we were at my friend's house and we found like her dad's cigarette and we like flush cigarettes And we flush them down the toilet and we're so So you know what we at least hope we had so much we had a moral compass and social justice now all the men just have zin Everywhere I got re zin zin never zinning everywhere. Yeah, I hear that all night. I don't see it frequently I think even the girls know jenzy gave up game pulls out I don't citrus alright aren't the girls the young girls are also have you heard of Lucy right you
- You guys sound right. - No, Lucy was a pouch company, but like I think they're targeting women 'cause if you go-- - It's cute. - I feel like it's very cute. - As a women podcast, I got a Calche ad. I got a Lucy ad. I'm like, we are women, we are not men. So I'm selling us nicotine pouches, stuff selling me gambling. - Well let's see if it works. - That's my question. I think we're too smart to do the pouch. - No, no, no, I'm just saying. I think we're too smart. - But the pouches, well, so every pretty much, every man I know has Xandana's pocket at all times. And then Matt's co-workers, and then husband's co-workers, all the linemen. - All the linemen. - The linemen. - I mean, the blue collar boy's got a-- - Of course, 'cause he's a blue collar boy's got a-- - But you'll have something. - So, but they don't, I guess if you get enough of them, you get rewards. And so Matt collects them from all his buddies at work and he keeps getting power tools and like actual, like, expensive- - Wait, wait, Matt's back up. - Wait, Matt's back up, Matt's back up. - Matt's back up, Matt's back up. - So it's like a frequent flyer card. - Yes. - And you get power tools when you get enough? - He's looking at his games looking at his. Is that what you get to? - He's my reward for her smart lady. - Amazon gift cards. - All right, so you got to start taking them off. - Start taking them off. - He's getting like really nice things. Like the rewards are pretty nice. Is there like a interface where you can choose your reward? - I don't know. She was like mad at me. - So she took-- - She was like, you're strolling them away? I was like, "Why?" 'Cause I didn't know about the rewards. - Yeah. - So then I just keep them like on my, what's it called? Like on my night side table and just take them on it. And I'm assuming-- - I'm proud of you for having a nightstand. I love that for you, Gabe. - That's not hold the bar so low for Gabe. - Gabe's a great guy. Of course, he has a nightstand. He always closes way. - But this, let's hold men to a higher standard. I don't think we should congratulate Gabe for having a nightstand. I think that is a basic necessity of a man. - A nightstand full of sins. - Yeah. (laughing) - A man with a tower. - Great job, sweetie. - Like, come on, Gabe. - I mean, I have a thin tower in my garage. I'm like, you know, it is what it is. I'm always like, what? And my daughters are, we call it medicine. So they like won't touch it. Like if they see, they're like, can I play with one of those medicine containers? - No, no, no. - Because they daddy needs a medicine college. - Well, they can look like an out, run the out, or whatever. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - I spray girls. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I mean, it's very colorful and nice. - Well, people like the citrus. I mostly see the blue out in the wild. I don't know what the blue is, but-- - Peppermint. - Peppermint. - I think it makes them into fresh, fresh. - Did you guys see the new flavors that they released? - We did not. - No, I don't know. - But they're so funny. They're like, it's espresso martini. - Oh! - You're so sweet. - They're coming. - They are. - Oh. - Mojito. - So it's like summer beverages. - Yeah, they're. - Margarita. - Margarita. - Margarita. - Oh. - Yeah, they're funny. - Yeah. - They're not good, though. - No, I can't imagine. - I would be like a peppermint. - Peppermint would be very good. - No. - But I remember that in high school, boys would always try dip for the first time and then like puke everywhere. - Yes, that was such a thing. - A party. (laughing) - Loser. (laughing) - I mean, I didn't. - Yeah, it was like. - Wait, did you try dip? - Never. - Okay, I thought you just said you did. - No, I said what that is. - It was just the boys at the party. - I never have either. - Yeah. - That scares me. - I haven't either, I don't know. - I'm not going to eat your macaroni salad. I'm not going to. - I'm not going to take your dip. - I'm not going to. - You're going to have a dip in and be farting in the corner in your macaroni salad. - Yeah. - What happens? (upbeat music) - Wait, speaking of espresso martini's, I was just at the beach this weekend, and let me tell you what, Sitten, my butt in a chair on the beach, just having a drink was like the most relaxed, I felt like I felt for weeks. - But I love to bring like a batch of cocktails on the beach, but it's like, you can also have to keep it kind of low-key because draping on the beach is like. - I fart and fucked up on the beach by accident. - Oh, yeah. - The side, do you know how you drink water? - And the day gets away from you. - I mean, I can't let that happen 'cause I'm a four-month-old. - Oh, yes, yes. - Well, no, I don't mean with children. - And I don't drink at the beach with my kids. Like, no, I'm in the bathroom far too frequently. I'm like, watching scanning mixture, but I don't want to be in the water. Like, no, I don't have any of you at water with my kids, but when I used to go. - Yeah. - Have you guys had a Hugo Spritz? That's like the new thing. - Oh, can I talk to him? - No, no. - No, yeah. It's Prosecco with St. Germain, right? - Yeah, I've seen it on my feet. - Maybe we'll get one tonight. It's like the new apparel Spritz. Like all the girlies are drinking it, but I had a few this last week on vacation. I had a espresso martini. Again, not being by children. That's when I want to enjoy a drink. But like, if I have to be up and down on the beach, I'm sweating and I'm dehydrated. - Are there people? - No. - That makes me fart. You want to talk about farting. Have you ever had like, who has ever had a beer and not been farting? - I've never had a beer really, so I don't know. - What? - I had like a sip of a beer. I had a beer, and I was playing flip cup, but you don't want to use a drink with a way she says it. When I was flipping the cup, I would pour like, okay, I feel robbed a little bit of a college experience that everyone else had, which was like, you could just have a beer and be like, low-key. I was like, where's the vodka? Because I didn't drink a beer, or I had been drinking the weird punch. - I would do both. - I would get really ill. And even on the beach, I remember we would go even in our 20s and everybody would have beers. And there was, I feel like I was like alcoholic like ice teas at the time, but there wasn't like, sun cruisers. There wasn't. - Yeah. - They're so lucky now it is. - So I would come with a picture of like a cocktail. - Yeah. - And then I would be laying out on the beach, and everybody else would just be drinking beers, and I'd be like, I'm a mess. - Yeah. - One time, that's what I did. We like had a mixer, like in college, and to pre-game, I brought a margarita bucket. And yeah, within half an hour. - I woke up the next day. - That's not for crazy. - It was crazy. - I didn't have to kill anymore of it. - Oh really? - No, I really did. - I didn't drink to kill in college, which I'm so grateful for because it's, I love it. - Yeah. - But in college, I have a vivid memory of going to our guy friends apartment for a pre-game. There was a ton of people there. They had like a jungle juice they made with blue gatorade. And I saw one of the guys, I saw one of the guys, like take his can of C4, and do you know what it's C4 is? - What is C4? - Do you know what C4 is? - C4 is like an energy gym. - Oh it's like it's spark, like it's spark. - It's like, it's like, it's like, it's a make your arm. - It's a portal. - It's a portal. And he just like, he just like, poured it in the door. - He just said, he poured it in the door. - It basically, yeah. - And he kicked those. - And like most people had no idea what was in there. I was like, oh my god, this is kind of just-- - I mean, for a logo was a drug. - That was a drug that was the amount of times I would wake up after a for logo. - That like, here in a six-months-per-for-floor-floor. - Were they really low? - That was the most-- - I wonder if that overlapped with the fourth of July. I bet that would have been a good idea. - It was, I remember distinctly, my sophomore year of homecoming. - Yes, it was sophomore year. - So like, sororities, fraternities, but pair it together. - That's like, homecoming week. - Did you do crate races? - I don't remember, I don't know, but we would make like theme t-shirts. - Okay. - Like page pair and ours was like a for logo logo. - Okay, we were making so many theme t-shirts with that. - ours were like screen-printed. - Are you screen-printed? - Yeah, we were like physically made about. - Yeah, yeah. - But it was a for logo. - We had crate races where you were-- - I paid for my friends, so. We got screen-printed t-shirts. - That's very fancy. - Hey, they last, but it's, you know, money was meant. - It was, it was. - Oh no, yeah. I feel like I used to drink and make, I would make t-shirts for the 4th of July. Like, I used to really love the 4th of July. - The coffee paint? - No, no. - You would make like, we would go with a theme. Like, we'd be like, we have a theme for the 4th. And like, me and all my girlfriends would show up and maybe like, on theme. - Like, what was the theme? - Yeah, give us a theme. - For the 4th of July, but I don't know. Like, it was like, my shirt had stars on it or something. Whatever, I don't know. Like, we have Amazon as readily available to 20. - Yeah. - So we had to be creative and we had to make things. - Yes, we'd wait til last second. We'd be like, fuck, I can't find a star t-shirt. - I played volleyball and we would do like, spirit. - Yeah, it's or whatever and we would literally draw on shirts. - Yeah, you put the cardboard in the tree. - Yes, so it's a card board. - But I have a picture of me. I can see it clear as day on the 4th of July. In a white tank tank top where I cut the sleeves off and I like drew on it. I was probably 18. I don't know. I was in somebody's backyard. - Did you cut the collar out too? Do you remember cutting the collars out? - Uh-huh. - And making it like a tiny-- - Oh yeah, to make it like more-- - Yeah. - In the Bando. Did you guys have a lot of bracing? - Oh my god. - Oh my god. - Oh my god. Yeah, 'cause you'd have like the deep muscle that you're being done with. - Are you sure? - Are you sure? - Are you sure? - The Bando is not good for anybody. - I mean-- - I mean-- - The young girls are all wearing tube tops. - Yeah. - So many tube tops. - Really? - Yes. - Yeah, I have seen them everywhere. - I keep them off campus. She was wearing two tops. - I see that flattering on anyone. - It cuts you off, kind of funny. - I've seen girls look really nice. - Sure, some girls. - Not me. - I just don't think it's for me, especially with young kids. I feel like they're just gonna pull my top off. - Oh, that's a new fear. - For me. - Yeah. - I was at a baseball game yesterday. And I'm in a-- - What kind of baseball game? - Uh, the step below professional minor league. - Okay, so minor-- - It was fun. It wasn't like a kids. No, no, no, it was like a real baseball game. It was a beautiful stadium. They do a really nice job. But I'm in the bathroom. I'm in a workout fitness dress that is Gingham in blue. I was on theme again. - Very big in Gingham right now. - You're a Gingham girl. - It's summer, you know. And I'm in there with my daughter. And I'm on the toilet straight up naked, right? - Yeah. - Because I'm in one piece. And she just opened her eyes. - Oh, yeah. - And I'm like, stop. And she's like, I'm just looking. And everyone else is also looking. And they're seeing me naked on this toilet. - Yeah. - I need you to shut-- - We already did. - And you're like leaning over. 'Cause you don't want to touch the scenes. You're just like crouched. - No, but it's like the romper sucks for so many reasons. - Sometimes. - It's hard to just naked. I always just tucked the romper to the side to feed. - When it had a pant. - What? - No, like a short romper. - A short romper. - Yeah. - Like even the athletic ones. - Those are hard. They're too tight. - Yeah. - And if you're sweaty, it just like-- - Yeah. - No, like a normal, like you know, like I feel like in the like 2011, - I don't know about that yet. - Yeah. - And it was like a linen knee that we wear with like the pump hum. Sometimes. - I wore a romper every day. - Everyday. - I was a romper girl. we're going to have like a 20s night so we went back to where we used to be.
used to live with me and my girlfriends, we went to the bar, we used to go to, and at a certain point, I was like, we are far too old to be here. Like these people are young. And these boys came over, I say boys intentionally, 'cause they were young men, came over and started hitting on us, or on one of them. And I was in conversation and he was like, oh my gosh, what do you guys like, 25? And I'm like, this guy's fucking with us. Yeah. And so he walks away and my friend says, so he thought we were 25 and I said girl, you are in a floral romper right now. - He knows you're 30. - You ain't trickin' anyone. - You're gorgeous, I'm like, you are gorgeous, you are beautiful, you are amazing. But that's his line. - That's a line because he looked at you and clocked that that girl's in her 30s. - He's not one girl in her 20s. - Who the fuck is wearing a romper? - Although I feel like it's based on the cyclical season since it's coming back. - It's coming back. - I'm gonna hop on the romper trend. - I wore so many romper, even to weddings, they had like the fancy romper. - I love rompers with a wide leg. And when they're like, take here and come and throw you on the bar. - They're so great. And you knew only had to pick out one thing. - Yeah. - So it's just like the bathroom. - Yeah, the bathroom. - Back then, like women were dancing on tables all the time. So you had the shorts built in, like it was just amazing. - I don't know how much coverage it was actually doing. - That's so much on an elevated surface. - But that's okay. - That was part of the game. - Show a bit, baby. - Where you at? - Show a bit. - When you were, no, you weren't. - I never wear underwear. - Really? - So weird. - So weird. - Really? - You never do. - I mean, rarely. No, I'm not a big underwear girl. - I'm interested. - I'm raising one of those and it's really freaking me out. And she's like, oh, I forgot. I'm like, what do you mean? You're raising one of those, like you're one of your daughters. - It's slowly happened. You know what? Leggings were the gateway drug for me to not wear underwear. - That makes sense. - Because leggings were talking. - No, no. - Because then you just have those big, granny panty lines. - What are your panty lines? - Which lines. - See, I never sped up. - Yeah, I told a lot of yoga. So I was like, I can't wear underwear because the lines. - Did you guys wear thongs in college a lot? - Yes. - Do you still wear thongs? - No. - If I do wear something in the thong. - I've already told you. Giving birth just ruined everything. I'm excited about it. - I do think about like the thongs that I own in college. And like now I'm like, oh, I would fucking never. - Yeah. - And you don't, do you sleep in underwear? - Yeah. - That psychotic. - Guys. - Better breathe. - Can I tell you what breathe? - You got to breathe. You got to breathe a little bit. - Get her clothes. - Clothes. - Because what if a robber comes in the middle of the night? - I am also clothes, but I have a lot of friends where naked people and they all sleep naked. - Girls? - That is irresponsible. - Yes, girls. - And Matt and I one night we were in our 20s before we had kids. We were like, okay, everybody's sleeping naked. This was not sexual in any way. We should try. - We should try. - We should try. - It's okay if it was. It's your husband. - We weren't. We were sleeping in our house. And we were like, what is the hype? Like let's try it, right? So he, no more, he just sleeps in boxers. And I sleep in pajamas. - That's how we get here. - We're underneath them. And so we go to bed naked. I wake up, that man is closed. He had already put his clothes back on. - He got's naked in a frame. - I woke up. - I woke up to put my clothes on because I felt so uncomfortable. And then in the morning I was like, what the heck? He's like, it just didn't feel right. - Yeah. - Put clothes on. - Well, you remember when you told a story about Matt coming home and you run into the material. - I think about that all the time. 'Cause I'm like, what are some of these breaks? And do I run downstairs naked? Do I stop and put something on first? - My very good friend has this weird thing. She is, okay, I will preface that. Where she will sometimes just fake. I can't get back up. It's a whole thing. And so her husband was traveling for work. She was home with her three two young kids and was pregnant at the time. She had a fade things spell in the middle of the night. She could not get off the floor. And luckily she could reach her phone. She sleeps butt naked. - Yeah. - So she calls firefighters, whatever. They have to break down her back door to get into her house. And then she's just on the ground, just butt naked. And she's like, the entire fire department is like, can we get you some clothes? - This is why I woke up. - Can we get you in? - She's like, I was just, and I asked her if it's changed her ways. And she said no. - It hasn't changed them. She's still, we'll sleep naked. - Yeah, I sleep with socks on. - That's weird. - See, no underwear but socks. - You need to regulate your temperature. - I have a Raynod syndrome where my hands and my feet have terrible circulation. - I have high expectation too, me too. - I don't sleep with socks. - My little dead man's hands. - Yeah, I'll hold. - Yeah, always very cold. - Just cold. - Yeah, but now I would always touch my husband. And he'd be like, ah, and I'm like, shut up. And then right now my daughter has it. When she touches me, I'm like, ah, like I get it now. It's like very uncomfortable. - Yeah. - I'll always put my feet on my husband if I don't have socks on to try to get the. - Like how to use a wire if he's under my leg. - Yeah, or like under my butt. Like I just need warmth. - That's why I do, yeah. - What you need? - You burrow them under the butt. - Yeah, when he's sitting on the other side of the couch. - I get sideways and I shut my feet under his legs and his butt and he hates it. - Yeah, I would too. - He's like, it's just like a toe in your asshole. - Yeah. - It probably makes me really uncomfortable. You don't have to get-- - You just need to, we need some warmth. - Yeah, you know what? I have enough friends to explore that arena. And I think the men actually really like it. - You should go to the turning point conference and just open with that. One, the Women's Leadership Conference, here's the thing about that conference. First of wish. - What are we talking about? You didn't see the turning point conference. - What I'm gonna say is the Women's Leadership Conference. - I live in DC. My algo is so blue that like nothing shows up. - It's just, if it turns me in with a career, they do a women's elite. They call it a Women's Leadership Conference. And they have all these women who have high powered careers telling all these other women to get married and have kids. - And to give up your vote. - To give up your vote. But literally, they said you need to have more babies. More than you can afford. That's what they're like slow bit. Like even more than you can afford. But I'm like, it's so funny to me because I actually think on like in my community of people who are mostly liberal, like we all have many children. They're all married. I feel like that is jokingly taking back the red light and blue, but it's also like there's this narrative that conservatives like marriage, they like children. What they actually like is marriage in children with no power, no control, no money, no say, no nothing. Like we also want children and marriage. And like not everybody. But I actually think most women I know, most men that I know still want to get married, still want to have kids. - I want to raise kind humans that love people. - I'll have more than two kids. More than one kid, more than two kids, if they could afford it. - Yeah. - But they are just smarter and know that it's unfair to have a bunch of children if you can't actually. - Yeah. - Something so ironic about that conference though is that they're like, I watch them interview all these people being like, I would happily give up my right to vote blah blah blah. I'm like, the only reason you are at this conference is for the women that like rent you for. - It's like if your city there be like women should be able to vote then don't. - No. - Then don't. - Yeah. - Then you shouldn't. And tell all your friends not to. - Yeah. - And stay home. - Yeah, you have that choice not to vote if you don't want to. A good portion of America did not vote in the last election. - No. - The next. - The don't. - The nana. - I know whenever people are like, well, like a majority of the country chose this. I might actually, they didn't, only 20% did. So. - Yeah. - You're crazy. - Yeah. - But they make it hard for some people. - As we know. - Oh, 100%. - But I'm just saying a majority of people did not vote for this. - Somebody I know who didn't vote said like, I couldn't believe how much she was running away with it. I'm like, but you didn't, but you didn't. - But you didn't. - Disadvantly. - No. - You weren't even there. Like what do you, what do you think was gonna happen here? - Yeah. - Okay fine. I'll go look up the turning point you must say. - It was like a month ago or something, but it's funny, like the point is they did everything. - They did everything. - Maybe I can become a spy. - So some people are trying to go. Do you know what's her name Liz? She's the feminist or fabulous feminist or something. - She, Liz Planck. - Did she do one that reposts it or thing? - No, that's different. - I forget, different list, sorry. - Liz Planck, I think that's her name. Tried to go and they kicked her out, because she's like a known feminist tree smell it. - They kicked her out smell it. - Well, she's also like so tall and so recognizable. They were probably like, oh no. - Yeah. - But it's like, I saw something today too that was like any time women just speak. They don't have to say anything. Like they just speak and have it opinion people are like feminist. - Right now, but no. - All she said was like, oh, I have a job. - Yeah, boo. (laughing) - Oh my gosh. - Okay, liberal. - Yeah. - Yeah, I've never once on my platform called myself a feminist. And then what probably one of the top commented words on my page. - Yeah. - That girl boss. - That girl boss. - That girl boss. - God forbid she want a quality. - I know. Yeah, right? I mean, Beyonce said it out loud. What, I'm a feminist? I'm a feminist. And she had that big sign behind her. What was that? I was in a cowboy carter speaking of country music. That album was good. Did it win the Grammy? - That is a great question. I don't pay attention to the Grammys. - I don't either. - Does anybody pay attention to awards? - I don't pay attention to any award. - Well, no, 'cause one of them, like a big one's getting moved to YouTube. - Like I think really about the fight. - It was a big one. - She won the Grammy game, says. - One of the year, best country album and best country performance. - Yeah, and I thought she, I loved that album. - Yeah, I was really mad about it. - But I really thought it was a great album. - People just hate change. - Yeah. - And when people change. - And change. - Oh yeah. - Yeah. - Okay, so for your red, white and blue parties, or I guess we can call them fourthed July parties, did you guys get any fireworks? - I guess we can call them fourthed July parties. - The 250. - The big one. - The big one. - 25 zeroed. - Are you guys firework people? Actually, let me go that direction. - No, I don't think we should encourage people to be. You know how unsafe that is? - Yes, actually. - Yeah, why? Are you? - No, I, for fathers, stay. - You don't do long fireworks. - I'll go see a professional firework show. - As you should. - Yes, we, we have like sparklers. And what are those pop things you throw on the, yeah. - I've seen the pit. I know what happens here. - We've all seen the pit. - Yes, it's all pit. - No, but where, where I live. People love fireworks and they're doing them until like midnight. And yeah, they're doing the crazy ones. That all it takes is it for like tip over and it's shooting at you. And I'm like, I don't need to lose a limb. I don't need to lose an eye. I'm not a pain. - So it's illegal in Massachusetts to buy fireworks. - Of course it is. - Of course, period and state. - Yeah, we are nothing, if not fun. Here, no happy hour. - No firework. - There's no happy hour. - It's illegal. - Wait, why? - We, welcome to Massachusetts. Because there's a, it happened in like the 80s or something. There was happy hour and then I think somebody was drinking and driving or something and then they put a lot in place where there is no happy hour. So when you go to a happy hour in Massachusetts, it's happy hour on the food. So it's like buy one taco, get one taco. But not like when I moved to California. And they were like, you can buy one Red Bull vodka, get a Red Bull vodka. - How's it? - What is this place?
- Yeah, that's crazy. - Wow. - We don't have that at all. We also used to, up until a couple of years ago, maybe like 10 years ago, you couldn't buy alcohol on Sundays, like all the liquor stores were closed. - Really pure. - There's a lot of towns near me that are dry towns, doesn't just know alcohol. - Do you have alcohol in your grocery stores? - No. - No, illegal. - Yeah, we didn't in Pennsylvania growing up, but in Florida, you can get anything anywhere. - Yeah, if we cross the border, 10 minutes up, to New Hampshire, you can get fireworks, guns, - That's how Virginia is. - You can get the cheapest liquor. - I think, to South Carolina, and we were in Virginia, and there was a drive-through liquor store. - Oh yeah. - And it was like a drive-through liquor store? - Oh yeah, we had those in PA. - We had beer, drive-through beer, and wine. - I don't know. - I don't know. - In Jersey, we had those, too. - Really? - Yeah, we don't have anything like that. - We don't have anything like that. - Yeah, it's very hard actually. - Yeah, it's very hard to come inside. - Show your identification. - Get caught on camera. - Yeah, the camera should be. (all laughing) - Yeah, exactly. - Yeah, no. - On the fourth of July, we will probably do sparklers. - Sparklers. - Sparklers. - You know, five of those children. - You know, how to burn people. - Yeah. - It doesn't like blow up. - Yeah, it just didn't touch their feet. - There's a big gap between children who, I'll say, don't touch that. - That's hot. - Yeah, you can help it. - But they learn quickly. - They don't. - I always felt like, like, sparklers were really big at weddings for a while. That was it, but they make a line up. - Oh, good guys. - And I always was like so anxious that whole time, 'cause you're holding it and it's getting smaller, 'cause taking them forever to line up, and having a photographer, to get in the right place. - I just feel like my brother's drunk, like swinging it towards my head with hairspray. - Yeah, I'm like, and this is how we all die at the wedding. - We all die at this wedding. - I remember hearing a story about how you're not supposed to throw a rice, 'cause I could get in there ears or something like that. - That's, it sounds a little. - It happened to someone, and so the story got to me. - You know, hard, you would have to throw a rice at somebody in their ear. - To get it down into their ears now. - Like, you're supposed to throw it up, you would have to be like, whipping it up. (laughing) - But there's always something at the wedding that's just respectful to like a bride to be just like slap and rice at her face. - I mean, post-reception, yeah. People are probably pretty drunk. - But you don't have rice there. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Mom. - Yeah, it's a tossing rice. - Yeah. - Yeah, that's what I'm saying. - I don't think that's true. - You saw it on TikTok. - Try on TikTok. - Yeah. - It was predated TikTok. It was in my wedding era, you know, like with all the weddings. - No, yeah, we'll do sparklers. We'll go to fireworks. We'll make some s'mores. - I just won't eat any s'mores. - Against your will. - And we will probably not play any kind of American songs. We'll probably listen to some country, but nothing too. - No Toby Keith. - Probably not to play. - No, we'll probably be able to eat your ass. - It's the American way, yeah. - I mean, it's a catchy song. - It's a better, it's a absolute better. - I mean, I loved that song back in the day. - I mean, it didn't come out after 9/11. - Right, yeah, exactly. - Yeah, it was kind of like. - Yeah, but then like now if we look back on 9/11, we're like, oh, this is all little. - Yeah. - Yeah, a lot of, yeah. - Yeah, we have some theories there. You gotta teach your kids 15 ifty. Keep it going. - That was cool. - Okay. - No, they learn the songs at school. - Okay. - Yeah, they have it. - You need to board an USA. Yeah, wait, uppers.

Like Miley, I really feel like she, she's evolved, she was really misunderstood for a while. - Yeah. - I feel badly. - I mean, that was devastating. Liam, Liam Hemsworth really did her dirty, and I feel, cause like the whole thing is that he cheated with Jennifer Lawrence, so I would wear that. - Oh, I don't know that. - I think that's her flowers video. I think it was like based on Jennifer, allegedly, but I can't, I don't know. - I don't know. - I can't suit off this. - I can't. - Literally. I'm gonna start each thing and just have a video where I say, everything I say is a legend in this podcast episode. - I like it, yeah. - They're all just opinions. - The dress she wore in the flowers video was supposed to be based on, like, address that Jennifer Lawrence wore to, like, some award show or something where her and Liam were together. - Oh. - I don't know. - I really loved Liam Hemsworth. - I loved him. What's the movie they did? Was it you? - What's the movie they did? - Was it you? - Yeah, because I'm like. - Really? - And I can also see being in that mindset. Like, Jennifer Lawrence was like a cool girl. - She was. - Yeah. - You know, it's probably really hard, cause she, I love Jennifer Lawrence. - I think she got, she got a moment. - What movie did they do together? - Did they do together? - The last song, "Honger Games." - No, no, no, sorry. Hemsworth and Myles. - The last song? - The last song. - So good. - And isn't that where they met or no?
