We're coming to you live from Cherie Page Barber's deck, correct? We're going to start this one off with a quick round of this or that. Yay, all right.

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? 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 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. We also had regular water, guys, but don't come for us or our parents Interesting.

Speaker 1:

This is like it's a deep societal norms. Yeah, but some of these are just like stupid. Oh, I don't like cream cheese. Okay, I love cream. 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, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Um, I never got into Survivor. No, or what was the other one? When you like, was the show like you lost weight and you found love or something? The Biggest Loser? Yes, I never got into that either. No, I love a real world, oh, yeah. Oh my gosh, not the challenge, but the real world. I like wanted to be on one of those so badly.

Speaker 1:

What else did I never get into? I never got into the Sopranos, but our parents did. What about, like Charmed? I never got into Charmed. I never got into Buffy. Yeah, that was the other one. 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, 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, 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:

I was like that's my sister at our bachelorette party and she's like, like, I think they were in Texas. I was like, oh well, maybe it was something else. My sister sat by, yes, helicopter, yes, I think that's it. I mean, send us your hot takes. Please do tell us the trends that you think are stupid.
