Join us as we dive into societal norms and share our unpopular opinions on everything from celebrity culture to food preferences and social media etiquette.

• Indifference towards celebrity news and engagements, particularly the recent Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announcement
• Group chat etiquette and the pressure to respond immediately to text messages
• Controversial food preferences including cereal choices, oat milk opinions, and the over-hyped pumpkin spice season
• Fashion debates including Crocs on adults, shoes without socks, and the practicality of "no-show" socks
• TV shows we never got into despite their cultural significance (Friends, Dawson's Creek, The Sopranos)
• The joy of rewatching favorite shows versus starting new ones
• Reality TV preferences and recommendations
• Corporate meetings that "could have been an email"

Speaker 1

Um , sweet or savory . What does savory mean ? Savory is like . I explain it as more like salty , like heavier , like sweet is maybe like fruity desserts , and savory might be like a caramel or like a chocolatey , like a rich okay , I don't know . Maybe a savory . I think I'm more savory too , like for breakfast . I can't do like french toast with fruit like it has to . No , I can't do that . Sausage Like , yeah , yeah , like the real breakfast . Yeah , dining out or home-cooked meal oh , so I can do both , though depending on the mood . Sometimes I like crave stuff that I know we can make at home . I think , yeah , I think it also depends on the mood . Yes , I also crave when other people cook for me . Like I eat out of the house , yeah , I enjoy dining out , but I think I enjoy dining out because it happens less often than cooking at home . Yeah , so it's like a luxury . Yeah , huh .

Speaker 1

Cardio or weights , cardio or strength training that's so interesting . I like both . I like sometimes both in the same instance . I think I tend to do more cardio . Like Zumba , yes , but I feel better after I do strength training . Like it makes me feel strong , okay , like a badass . Yes , um , okay .

Speaker 1

Phone call or text message Please text me all day . Don't call me . Don't call my phone . I won't answer . Don't call my phone , all right . Last one oh , I thought this was going to be Dang . Hold on . Oh , okay .

Speaker 1

Game night or movie night I fall asleep into movie night , so probably game night . I love the concept of a movie night . I know I can't wait to do it with Sage . But , yeah , game night , I'm going to throw in one more . Tacos , or burgers Tacos , get out of my face , love tacos . Yes , so much , okay .

Speaker 1

What are we talking about today , guys

Quick Round of This or That

Speaker 1

? We're talking about First . Welcome to another episode , guys . Thank you so much for joining .

Speaker 1

We're talking about some quite unpopular opinions . Yeah , that we have about societal norms . I put norms in quotes . Yeah , we may or may not give our reason , but we're just going to let you know . Okay , and please don't come for us . This is our opinions . Yeah , and this is our podcast , whatever we want . Thank you all right .

Speaker 1

Would you want to start with the one that you had in mind ? What inspired this episode ? Um , what inspired this was apparently , it was a big week in the entertainment world . Um , someone named taylor swift got engaged . Who is her ? Is it ? What's his name ? Travis Kelsey , right , travis ?

Speaker 1

I continued on about my day . I didn't even know what happened until I came back to my desk and my coworkers told me . I was like , oh great , I don't care . Yeah , I don't care , I really don't . I couldn't look at my Instagram when it happened Tuesday , monday , without seeing something about her and him .

Speaker 1

I heard , the ring is not that attractive . I saw a glimpse of it on CNN and I just kept scrolling . It's attractive to her . She's wearing it Whatever . It's just not newsworthy to me . No , I mean , I liked her back in the day , first album yeah , I think it's just because of all the hype that's around it .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I'm , which irritates me . Yeah , just feels very trendy . Yes , and that's one of our issues too that people . There are certain people out there that just follow every trend and it's not authentic to me , because trends obviously change . Swifties don't come for us . No , like it's our opinion . Press , you don't stop , you don't need to cancel us , um , because I'm I'm not saying that swifties are trendy , but it feels like the way that she engages .

Speaker 1

Do you think we have a lot of swifty listeners ? Probably ? I feel like a lot of people are Swifties and like we wouldn't know , true ? So , because sometimes I'm like surprised by it , I'm like , oh , okay , yeah , okay . So , yeah , I'm with you on that one . How about ? All right , you're laughing . Yeah , these are good ones , okay , I'm just trying to figure out where to start . She's using she's using our girl chat gpt . Yes , um , so I don't mind them if I'm being responded to . I hate being ignored . Yeah , um , sometimes in the group chat there's a lot of people . It's like sometimes like your line won't be responded to because there's just so many people .

Speaker 1

Yeah , but then also , I don't know if I don't know why apple does this , but like I will name a group chat and then , like the same people in that group chat say someone else like starts a new chat with the same people , apple will like create it as a new text and not continuation . Oh , and I'm trying to figure out how to merge . I don't know if you can , because it drives me . I was like , did it ? Was someone added or taken away ? I was like , why are these two separate ? They're the same exact group of people .

Speaker 1

Weird , like that happened last week and I'm like , why didn't they just go to the chat that I had it named ? It's no one . No member membership change . It's all the same people . Weird , maybe their number changed ? No , every , it still comes up as , like the people's numbers like nothing . It's so weird and it's not the first time it's happened and that really bothers me .

Speaker 1

I it depends on who's in the group chat . Well , that too , um , but sometimes , if , if , like , the group chat is lit and I have nothing to add , I will mute the group chat . Just come back later to open it to get rid of . It's almost like replying on an email , like I wish there was a kind way in an email to be like , please , like there is . You can be , like , please remove me . But like in a group chat , you can just like kindly remove yourself . You don't have need someone else to do that for you , or you can mute it .

Speaker 1

Yeah , but a smaller group chat , and if it feels like relevant or like I have something to add , I'm all for it . The more intimate ones I'm down for . But when it's like 15 people from your family and like nobody knows what's going on and like I'm not responding , I agree , we have some with like some people in our family Like well , I'll label them on my phone like cousin , like cousin chats , or like I have stuff from people from work and it's like just like different groups . But I also get irritated when people don't respond in the group chat . I know some people aren't as big texters as some are . Yeah , some like they just they're just bad at texting and that's like everybody's answering . But then it's like a text etiquette thing . Okay , well , that is actually on here too interesting .

Speaker 1

I don't like being ignored . I also don't like when people ignore in the group chat or ignore my text messages , which is me being ignored . So the next hot take agreed or not ? Texting back immediately isn't required . It depends who it is like . If I'm having an active , engaging conversation with you and then you immediately stop engaging , I'm gonna wonder if you got hit by a bus or something . Yeah , I mean , I I don't feel like texting back is immediately . I was gonna say texting back is required , please text back . Or if like , if you're asking a question , if you're at the store , we'll then call . I guess you can call them , but I also will still send the text . I think it depends on the dynamic of the relationship .

Speaker 1

We were just discussing this in another context recently that like you don't know what people

Unpopular Takes on Celebrity Culture

Speaker 1

have going on , one thousand percent going through something like yeah , you just don't know , um , but I think I for myself am like , let me just quickly respond , like I don't want to be rude or make them think that I forgot or whatever . So I put more pressure on myself to respond immediately . But when it comes to the expectation , I think , especially with my friends , like I just know I'm not , I might not hear back right away , and that's fine . I mean , yeah , it's fine , but you've already known that and they might not hear back from me right away . Yeah , I don't always text back immediately . Um , I will let things sit , maybe like a few days or like a day or so , because , again , we're all busy . I'm a mom , I'm not gonna respond to you right away sometimes . Sometimes I will , um , but I do love when people like this doesn't bother .

Speaker 1

I think it's hilarious when , like , you text somebody and like it's been like a few hours maybe , and then you see them active on social media and you're just like , wait a second . I just think that's . I don't get offended , I just start laughing . People get offended by that . Yeah , I thought you were gonna say when you text someone and then they like take a week or so to respond and just respond like well , you have some people like that in your life , I know , but like not even acknowledging , just like , oh , they just completely answers the same guy hasn't been . That cracks me up . That cracks me up . Um , that cracks me up . All right , some of these are really just like offensive .

Speaker 1

Oh , in my opinion , oh , okay , pumpkin spice season is overhyped , guys . It is . It's August 29th today . Yeah , I believe Dunkin started spilling out this PSL this week , last week , last week . It's a money grab . You're a billion dollar business , but they do every year because it works , but they're smart . It's bullshit . It's not even september yet . It's fall outside . It's a cool 60 65 degrees . Right now it is 75 degrees . Okay , this morning it was 60 degrees . We're not into the morning anymore . I'm just saying I'm sorry , guys , I am , by birth , a fall lady . I'm october . You should be biased , but my mother said on the day I was born it was like a second summer . It was like 80 degrees when I was born . Okay , um , I don't do fall until like september 23rd . That's wild to me . It's not wild .

Speaker 1

You considered my wedding a summer wedding . Yeah , it was the 14th . No , no , no , actually I didn't even think about it . But now you said that it's been 14th , it's still summer . It was a fall . We were having this debate with the co-worker because she's getting married next year and she was gonna make it september 12th , but then she had to change it . It's still in september , but she's like . I was like oh , you're a summer wedding . She's like 20th september it's fall . She's like that's wild . She's like that's wild to me . The whole month of September is not fall to you . I'm like it's not when you hit double digits , like September 10th and up , at least in my mind , for weddings colors , check a calendar . Okay , september 14th , it was a fall wedding . Check a calendar . Our colors were burgundy and dark gray and they looked fabulous Because it was fall themed . Moving on , check a calendar .

Speaker 1

Boneless wings are just glorified chicken nuggets . They are Disagreed . I love a good boneless wing . Go to McDonald's . I don't like to eat wings . Bone-in wings I love it . I love wings , but I like it's like a true carnivore when I eat them . I don't like getting my face messy , my hand like it's like under your nails . No , so I use gloves when Guys , guys or like a fork , guys , guys , a fork and wings . You've got to see this in live action because it's real . So , boneless wings , I appreciate that you can just eat with a fork and not have to like maneuver around the bone marrow .

Speaker 1

So sparkling water tastes like TV static . Chat GPT is really coming for me . How do we know what TV static tastes like ? Chat GPT ? I guess what you would imagine it tastes like . I love sparkling water . I love a seltzer . I love the carbonation , the fizzing . We grew up on seltzer water . I love it .

I do a bagel with butter or nothing , so good , it's just . Oh , I also don't do cottage cheese . That's disgusting . And the people who dress it up with like mustard and like I get that . You think it's good . I don't think that that makes it better . I know some people that put it in their eggs . I'm like , oh , you can't taste it . I'm like that's disgusting . I know , and also people that literally eat it out of the jar with a spoon and I want to not look at them when they're doing that . No , I can't , my stomach can't handle it . Okay , this might really get us some hate .

Speaker 1

What about some like classic shows that people love ? That you were kind of like ? First one that comes to mind for me is friends . So I had plenty of friends . One of my , my best friend in particular , loved friends and used to fall asleep to like the dvd set every night .

Speaker 1

I think that I I just never have given it a full sit down . I've seen a few episodes here and there Same , but I know enough just from social media and people in our lives liking it . I know all the characters , the quotes are everywhere . I just don't have any interest in going back and doing a deep dive Same , that doesn't feel necessary to me . Never got into Dawson's Creek . Oh I , interesting , going back and doing a deep dive . That doesn't feel . Never got into Dawson's Creek . Oh , I loved Dawson's Creek , but I didn't watch it at the time . I went to the library and got the little box sets that you could rent . Yeah , I love a One Tree Hill . I'm a fan of One Tree Hill . That was a good one . I loved Laguna ,

What ? There's another one , like Veronica Mars Never got into it , like , of course , I knew what they were , but I just never watched them On the CW . Yeah , um , okay , those are good . Okay , what about ?

Speaker 1

I guess because we're on the topic , and this is a hot topic in my personal household re-watching shows and movies . Oh , winter hill and sex in the city . I've watched them numerous times . I , I have , I can . I used to watch how to lose a guy in 10 days . Oh , yeah , over and over 10 things I hate about you and Clueless from Blockbuster .

Speaker 1

Okay , so we're doing movie rewatches and I just named some shows . She's the man , oh God , yes , for you . Oh my God , yes , man . I can't even think of any other . I know there's so many movies Walking Memories , a Walk to Remember , remember , yes , many more . I probably tried to block that one now because it's so embarrassing , but oh my god , um , for me . Shows new girl , mindy project , schitt's creek , and I just added in another one , damn it , anyway , those are on rotation . My poor husband at this point knows like he's like's , like , why do you watch this ? Like you know it's going to happen . I know it's going to happen at this point , but I would rather just rewatch a show than start something new .

Speaker 1

With Harrison , I started rewatching Grey's Anatomy because it was on TV . Grey's Anatomy is another hot take . Never , never , started it . I also got so guys , I think we talked about this on another episode back in the day , like a few months ago . Maybe I to the point where I had like TV show obsessions .

Speaker 1

All my Christmas list would always be the DVD sets of these shows . My parents would always like get them for Christmas . For me , grey's Anatomy is one of them . Yeah , one Tree Hill , the Hills , the Hills , laguna Beach I brought them down to Maryland with me when I came to grad school , like in a box . I had to take them with me . Yeah , sex in the city . Don't know where they are . Now I don't watch movies anymore . Sometimes I do , but like I just I don't anymore really . But those were iconic for me , yeah , iconic . I think I just grew up in a different time where it was like that's cool , but I don't want to pay $50 . And then now it's just on every streaming thing . Yeah , true , true , true . Okay , I guess specifically in person .

Speaker 1

But like scheduled work meetings that are like that could have just been an email . 100% could have been an email . Could have just been an email . 100 could have been an email . Could have been a zoom meeting , could have been a powerpoint that I reviewed in my own , could have been a walk by . Hey , can we have a talk for a second ? Can I chat with you ? Like ? Did we really all need to be here for like staring at each other , listening to people talk about things that I don't care about ? I don't like a small talk . I don't like I don't care what the weather is . I want to know about your childhood settings with people that I don't know where everyone else knows each other , so I end up in a corner by myself . Yeah , I don't like when quote , lunch is provided and I don't know what the provided lunch is gonna be and it ends up being something I don't like .

Speaker 1

Anxiety , because it happened the other day , oh my god . I was like , well , what is lunch gonna be ? And like I don't have time to get myself something else if I don't like what , and it was something I couldn't eat , right anyway . Um , I was very upset because that was like the draw in , yeah , and I was like all of this for nothing , I'm gonna sit and watch you people eat when I can't . Truly , that's not fair . It's not fair . Hmm , ew , what Oat milk tastes like cereal water .

Speaker 1

I heard . Oh , what did people say about that as well ? We were talking about this earlier in the week with me and my coworkers . I've had oat milk like once , and I'm not a fan . I've had it once too , but it was in coffee so it wasn't masked Like I didn't taste it . We were talking about like regular milk . I don't do cow's milk , I do almond milk , but I don't drink almond milk . Sure , it has to be in like a creamer or a smoothie . So we then were talking about how people eat their cereal . Um , I eat mine dry and I always have , but I also sometimes will add milk and add some sugar on top . This is plain cheerios , my favorite . Then I'll pour the milk out , just so they're wet . Yeah , um , some people we're talking about cereals at work . We , we can talk about this . So I'm a plain Cheerios gal .

Speaker 1

I like a Kix . I love Froot Loops . But one of my coworkers , my friend , she was just like so let me get this straight you like Froot Loops but you don't like Fruity Pebbles . I'm like correct , fruity Pebbles are disgusting . They also talk about those like cookie cereals , cookie crisps You're literally eating cookies . That's disgusting , so good . And mini wheats . One of my other friends co-worker . She likes eating those particular ones dry . I feel like the remnants just get like stuck all over your mouth . Oh , and then another co-worker chimed in and said that they like the oat squares . Oh , and she was like uh , no . And then I also like Life . Mm-mm , what is it ? It's Kix . What's the other one ? Frosted Flakes ? No , rice Krispies , I love Rice Krispies . Kix are the yellow , they're like the corn puffs . Yes , maybe it is just K , just kicks some thinking off K-I-X .

Speaker 1

I love a plain Cheerio . Disgusting If they're eating Cheerios . It's Honey Nut Cheerios or the pumpkin ones that they . It's not real honey . My friend was like you put honey in your tea every day . Anyway . Now , plain Cheerios . I used to eat them in college . My friends would be like what are you ? You're just eating plain Cheerios in a bag . You're weird . It's so good .

Speaker 1

My children grew up on plain Cheerios , just like we did , and then they stopped because they realized it's nasty . Did your daughter ever eat plain Cheerios ? Yeah , and she stopped . My youngest had plain Cheerios this morning . Okay , anyway , there's cinnamon there . Eat when Daisy would let us get like the sugary cereal or Cap'n Crunch , and that's how I know I'm savory , because when I mentioned this to Sarah she was like oh yeah , like the mixed berry Cap'n Crunch , but no , you need like the buttery like . Okay . So in our household right now the other adult in the house loves himself some cereal . He grew up on cereal Like he can eat it for breakfast on Jen Dinner and he has gotten our oldest to do that in the morning for breakfast as well .

Speaker 1

Like , but with milk . Yeah , because they all love milk in my house and I do not . But it's just so funny , just like the different variations of cereal that we have in the house , because it's almost like he's reliving his childhood . Yeah , so it's like kind of funny , but also kind of like .

Speaker 1

I don't want these fruity pebbles in my house . They are disgusting . I also love a Lucky Charm . Ew , see

Food Debates: Cereal, Milk, and More

Speaker 1

, I can't with like the fruity , that's just not good to me . The sweet , like bleh . I love a Rice Krispie . Yeah , I will eat that , of course , with a dash of sugar . So , yeah , I will eat that , of course , with a dash of sugar . Naturally , people think that's so weird , but it makes it fizzle and pop . Oh , okay , I put my sugar on the plain Cheerios With milk . That's when I do the sugar . Oh , yeah , okay , I'm asking you this in particular because you have a propensity to lean heavier one way than the other . You make me nervous .

Speaker 1

What is that ? Double texting , or like a back-to-back text , separating your thoughts and texts ? Oh , I'm a back-to-back texter . Yeah , my friend called me out on this like years ago . Yeah , my old roommate . She was like why do you do that ? Yeah , she's like can't you just send me all of your thoughts in one ? I'm like , no , I can't . And she like used to get so irritated with me yeah , I do it all the time because you send them as like each text is a sentence .

Speaker 1

Yes , when you could have just sent like a multi-sentence , then I'm gonna have to sit there and like okay , okay , does that bother you ? It doesn't bother me , I just think it's funny , like because you really are so true to you that that is like genuinely how you text . There is no other way . No , so I love receiving paragraphs back , yeah , but I also don't . I will send them . I don't love it . It's not only good . Sorry guys , there's some noises , we're not aware of it . They're looking for Kyle who's Kyle ? I don't know . I thought you knew them .

Speaker 1

No , so if it's too long for me to text , I will like audio it . Yeah , which I will send . Don't put it past me . And's on a two , three minute audio . I will audio you to death . Fine , um , but sometimes texting I'm like , I don't like . I type all day .

Speaker 1

You can talk to text , I can , but it's . I hate hearing siri read it back to me because I'm like that is not what I said . But luckily , like with apple , you can like it , but I'm like I , I , what ? Yesterday or no , this morning , I asked Siri something and she answered back and he said why is ? Why is Siri a black woman ? You can tell she's black because you can pick . You can pick the voice . Oh , I didn't know that . Yes , you can , and you can pick , like the GPS voice on , like a Garmin . Same thing , yeah , okay , okay , these are getting interesting .

Speaker 1

Crocs this says crocs are ugly , but also the most comfortable shoes alive . Now I don't own a pair of crocs . Go ahead and finish talking , but my daughter has five . I was going to say , if your husband slash my brother while he's listening , love you to damn death .

Speaker 1

I cannot stand Crocs and adults . I love them for my boys . My boys have like three pairs . I always get my niece a pair when I get them a pair . Yeah , I cannot do Crocs for adults . I thought about getting them when I'm like gardening , but who am I kidding ? I don't garden . They are ugly . They're so ugly but they're so cute on the kids and most of my garden's inside . I don't even put crocs when I'm watering inside plants . So I don't like them for anyone over the age of like anyone under the okay , from like just walking to like maybe fifth grade . I need you not to be wearing them in high school . Okay , I know plenty of adults that own them and that support them and I cannot stand them . Yeah , I think they're gross , they're just . I would never wear them . But I have to let my husband be who he is and he gets the one with the fur . They're lined with fur because he runs cold . So I'm like do you boo ? I say what I also cannot stand .

Speaker 1

This must be like a stylistic thing for me , someone who doesn't wear Crocs , when people don't wear them with the bar in the back Sport mode they wear them with the bar in the front , like isn't the whole point for it to like catch your your heel ? Well , you can wear them both ways . That's why they're so ugly . You wear them with the . I don't know what the opposite of sport mode is . On sport , lazy mode , sure , like as slippers , they're ugly , okay .

Speaker 1

Um , pineapple on pizza I have never tried it , but I feel like it's . It would be good I had it . It's like , fine , I feel like I would have to do it myself . I just pineapple and ham together . Yeah , it's fine . Okay , moving on , um tiktok , don't own it . Never have , never , will .

Speaker 1

I and one of my good friends , we were like heavy on Vine back in like 2012 . Oh my god , yes , the 12 second videos . I don't know if they had a time limit . Maybe I think they did . I think that was the whole point . Sure , I guess Loved them .

Speaker 1

And then , when TikTok came out , I was like this is just like a Vine wannabe . Yeah , so I never got into it , but I understand the allure . I hear it's popping over there on TikTok sometimes , but the great thing is that people just bring it on over to Instagram . Yes , and sometimes I get mad because I can't view it all because it's on TikTok . Well , that's annoying too . Like people will send me a TikTok and I'm like I can't watch this Correct , so I have to go find it on YouTube or something . And threads it's also not on Facebook anymore . I did a thread just to like reserve my name , but I've never posted on there .

Speaker 1

Very cunning , what Very cunning of you . Well , I did that because I thought you said you did that , I did , and I was like oh well , then let me do that too . I did because I thought we were going to like try to like put our business content on there . Then I was like no , no , this is gonna work for me . Oh yeah , that's so funny though . Um , daylight savings time boo , get rid of it . Make it the like summertime all year . I feel like it's been in the lineup to get rid of . Yeah , but they've been saying it , for I know , I know , I'm not a fan clapping when the plane lands , is it ?

Speaker 1

Is it hold on ? Is it irky ? No , what's the word ? I'm cringy , or is it wholesome ? This reminds me of my best friend .

Speaker 1

Anytime we go to the movies , I would clap just like everybody else would . When it was over , everybody else would . She was not clapping and she'd be like do you clap when you're done reading a book ? Oh , my gosh , that was like good point . So it's the same thing . It's like yay , we landed .

Speaker 1

I don't think I've ever been in a movie where people clapped at the end . Maybe I have . It's just been a while , but I don't , I didn't know that was , but I just . That hot take for me has always been something I've never forgotten . Yeah , I , I think I've only been on one plane where they clapped when we land , and it was . Was it because it was like a rough flight ? No , it was Puerto Rico , and I think that that's just like a cultural thing . So , yeah , we were all like , yeah , I'm just happy I'm on planes on this ground . Yeah , that too I thought I just saw a cheerio . It's a , it's a nail . You did not just see a cheerio . We don't have cheerios here . What a shame . Um , okay , do you have any others ? Yes , I'm thinking so .

Speaker 1

If you can look at my shoes , it looks like I have no socks on , but I have PEDS on . So what's the hot take ? Shoes without socks ? Yeah , I don't think that that's appropriate after a certain age , right , they just start to get smelly , right . So I have PEDS on , yeah , but you can't . They're no-see . That's fine , which I love the allure , yeah . Um , remember back when I used to put baby powder in your shoes ? Oh , yeah , but now baby powder apparently causes cancer , yeah , or talcum powder , talcum , whatever . Um , for a certain age , it's just unacceptable to be wearing um shoes .

Speaker 1

Well , I do sometimes , and I have changed my ways . I used to wear flats with no socks . Um , I wear the pads now . Yeah , it's hard , though , because you have to have the right

Fashion Opinions and Cultural Trends

Speaker 1

, the right one , or that it shows , and then it just looks dumb , stupid . Yeah , I also wear heels without . Well , that's different though , because the inside is leather , that's true . And like . Yeah , they probably still get sticky .

Speaker 1

But I also don't wear stockings . Some women do , so that's not technically . Barefoot , I feel like . Or tights Tights with like only if it goes with the outfit . I don't wear them as a necessity . I hate tights Like . I'll wear a skirt without tight If it fits . The vibe like a fall vibe like we're going to Vermont this fall , like maybe we'll do , but it's not necessary . I hate tights and stockings . I always have , I've worn them , obviously , but some people like thrive in them . They just love them . Because this coming up to be this time of year , they wear them all the time .

Speaker 1

I will literally wear dresses and skirts without them for the longest time . Oh yeah , I will freeze my legs to death . A booty the longest time ? Oh yeah , I will freeze my legs to death . Um , a booty or tall boots , I like both , but that's not a hot take . But I like booty the shoe , I like a healed booty . I mean both , I don't have a problem with either .

Speaker 1

Do you like mules ? What mules ? No , you don't . I think I'm trying to get used to liking them . No , why don't you like them ? Because they're just like healed clogs . Okay , but they don't all have . They have actual healed mules . No , you don't like them ? No , okay , I don't . Even I don't like the drink either . I just like the cup that it comes in . What cup ? Oh , like the , the rose gold . Like copper ? Yes , I do like that , but I don't like a Me either . What's it called Moscow Mule ? Yeah , yuck , what . What Is that like someone's alarm or something , or a camera , I don't know ? Or it keeps making that sound , maybe someone's alarm or something or a camera , I don't know . It keeps like making that sound , maybe it is . I thought it was maybe a bird , like someone's lost parrot , like a mating call . Oh my gosh , wait , speaking of lost parrots , monique and t'challa are back from real housewives of potomac . She found him . Yeah , she found him , and he flew back home . The trailer just came out . It's . It looks so funny you have to watch . Was she talking with him ? Yeah , like he was on her finger because one of the girls on there , um , did you meet stacy ? Did you watch last season ? Yes , with uh , with her boyfriend . Yeah , tj , yeah , that's right . So are they still together ? No , did you watch ? No , I don't watch reunions . Oh , my God , you have to get into reunions . Did they break up ? There's a whole thing about how TJ didn't come to the reunion . There's a whole thing about like , why weren't you here to support me ? Like the husband's called him , like why aren't you here ? And he's like . I think he basically said like she hired , hired me to like be her boyfriend and then never paid me . So then not just that , but he was mad that he never got paid , yeah . So then they like confronted her and she was like no , that's not true . Like we were in a genuine like , blah , blah . So then in the trailer , ashley was like I heard , stacy was like going after chris samuels , monique samuels , ex-husband , and then it pans to monique with t'challa on her finger and she's like , when it comes to my ex-husband , like . Then it pans to monique with t'challa on her finger and she's like , when it comes to my ex-husband , like no , we're not doing that . So I am very excited .

Speaker 1

Salt lake city , which I just got introduced to , comes back in a couple weeks . I just got introduced , it's so good . I watched all five seasons like within the past three weeks , obsessed . And then potomac comes . Do you now want to go to salt lake city ? No , yeah , yeah , no . I just like the drama . Yeah , um . And then Secret Wives of Mormon Lives . Did you get into that ? No , you have to get into that . I'm good , you have to .

Speaker 1

There's certain reality TV that I just won't dabble in . It's the same thing as Housewives . I don't know . I just had to change the title , I guess , because there's already a real .

Speaker 1

Oh , my friend , my co-worker , my friend was telling me she binge-watched one weekend , a couple weekends ago , there she had gone because her friend was getting engaged . Like a bunch of people got together and in the hotel room , like the night before they're gonna see the rest of their friends , they binge-watched hunting wives . Oh oh , I thought it was a movie . It's a show yes , it was on netflix , okay , and like the whole premise is like um , a murder and like essentially it's not . It's not okay . So people are sleeping with other people , like that's out of their marriage , but it's the women sleeping with each other and like it's just she's like . It is just like . She's like I will keep watching it for you guys so I can like report back , but she's like it's . She's like the plot was just like everywhere . Yeah , she's like it was so hard to get into , but she's like we binge watched it and she was just like . She was like trying to tell us , like what it was about and she's like I just don't even know what to say . She was just like going all over the place because the plot was all over the place .

Speaker 1

Oh my gosh , yes , I read the book . Apparently there's a second season . I think I read the book . Apparently , there's a second season . I think you read the book . There's a book . I think so , isn't it what that's based off of ? You would know better than I do , I'm pretty sure , unless I'm thinking of something else .

Speaker 1

Yeah , it's on Netflix , but it reminded me it's the same day she told us about . It was the day after you had DM'd me that house in Lake Norman . Oh yeah , like , oh , my sister told me about this . I was like they're in North Carolina . She goes no , I think they're in Texas . So I don't know if that , maybe that was the second season . They're going to be in North Carolina . Oh yeah , well , they could have just filmed it there and called it Texas , true , True , but in the show they're in Texas . Yeah , I was like .

Speaker 1
