Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Short, Short and Sweet. This is about last straws.

[Camille Ludington]

When is the last straw?

[Unknown]

When is the last straw? Listen, it is the holiday season, and I think that oftentimes the last straw kind of lands at this time of year. Yeah, you've had it. Or at least with the Ludingtons. The Ludingtons love a last straw at Christmas. It's like, we have turkey and a side of Mac and cheese and a side of whatever, and a side of the last draw.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, I've had it. I'm done.

[Unknown]

Okay. The call. We're gonna dive straight in because the Colet crew have sent us submissions. Okay.

[Camille Ludington]

By the way, I just want to say. Well, I was gonna say I do feel like I've evolved a bit because I used to. Like, for me, a lost straw would be, you know, when you're having just one of those really challenging mornings where just everything seems to be going wrong. Like, you' alarm doesn't go off. You sleep through it. You wake up, you don't have clean underwear. You then go, like, all the things are just going wrong, going wrong, going wrong. And then it culminates in you getting to your car and you spill your coffee all over yourself, and you're like, yeah. And it's just all over. And I've gotten better at that because I have the moment where I'm like, this is it.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

And I calm the inner demons, and I say, just wait a minute. This is not it. It will never be it. We're gonna take a breath. We're gonna. We're gonna collect ourselves, and we're gonna keep going.

[Unknown]

I have to say I'm good until. Unless my last straw ends up being a toe stub, a physical toe stub will always be my last straw. And it happens often to me. I feel like if things are going wrong, my toes, like, I'm gonna go this way, run into that corner, and. And it is specific, but it happens. It happens enough for me to know. Listen, if. If your day is going badly and then you stub your toe, you tell me that's not your last straw. If you can survive that, Jess, you're. You're on. You're on the next level. You're. You're evolved as a human being, as an entity. Okay, we're gonna get into the. Into the colic crew. Talking about their last straws. So Mary and Sally have written us, and they said we both work at the same retail store. And on Black Friday this year, they had us steaming so many clothes. So many. And eventually the Steamer got. Got as tired as us and exploded all over the place. It burned Sally's arms and my chest. Safe to say we quit real quick.

[Camille Ludington]

Because that was the last straw.

[Unknown]

That was their last straw. I mean, if you. First off, I hated working retail. I quit the first day of the job. I was. I hated it more than waiting tables.

[Camille Ludington]

I was gonna say I never did do retail. I only did service.

[Unknown]

You're missing out on hell. Seriously. And so if I got burned.

[Camille Ludington]

Mm.

[Unknown]

In retail.

[Camille Ludington]

Done, done, done. Just walking out.

[Unknown]

Well, it's over.

[Camille Ludington]

Yep. I would. I would. I would. I would agree with you.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

All right. So Jenny wrote in and said my last straw was the head chef I work for telling me, oh, buddy.

[Unknown]

Oh, God.

[Camille Ludington]

The woman's place is at the sink, not cooking. And this was after I caught the head chef doing drugs on the countertop where we all prepared food. And after I informed the owner of the restaurant about all of this, to which she did nothing because they were both sleeping together. Last straw.

[Unknown]

I mean, I gotta tell you that.

[Camille Ludington]

There'S so many cliches in this little. This little. Like, don't you always hear that, like, head chefs or chefs are angry and chefs do drugs and chefs are sleeping with everyone?

[Unknown]

Well, I mean, have you watched the bear?

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm so. Do you think it really is all just true? Like, that's, like, now I'm gonna look at chefs.

[Unknown]

I've known some. I've known some chefs that have been sleeping with some. Some peeps.

[Camille Ludington]

I would have thought that, like, chefing was a sexy, like, getting you tons.

[Unknown]

You're wrong. You're wrong. Because here's the thing. You gotta imagine this, right? You're a waitress. You're going. You're like, God, those people out there. And he's like, guess what? I just made those fries on the fly for you because you forgot to put them in. And you're like, whoa, you just saved me. You just saved my tip. He's like, you're welcome. Like, there are situations where the chef has control.

[Camille Ludington]

You got saved by fries.

[Unknown]

No, this is a. I'm saying this is a situation that never happened to me.

[Camille Ludington]

Usually you're really good at these hypotheticals on the fly. So I was waiting for the next.

[Unknown]

No, no, I'm just saying, like, it. Listen, it. I. I will tell you that if you've ever forgotten to ring in a food order and that chef can make something on the fly to make it look like you.

[Camille Ludington]

I feel like this is a real life example.

[Unknown]

Well, this is a real life example. It didn't end up me sleeping with a chef.

[Camille Ludington]

Ahead, chef.

[Unknown]

I was not. No, I did not bone the head chef. You did.

[Camille Ludington]

You went to Bonetown with someone who put in an order for fries and saved your butt. It was too specific an example. I'm sorry, you've been caught.

[Unknown]

Are you saying that I slept with a head chef over fries on the fly?

[Camille Ludington]

I am. I'm saying yes, you are.

[Unknown]

Listen, Bob and I had a. Oh, Bob. We had a connection. Don't worry about it, Jess. The point is, this could have happened. I don't know if it did.

[Camille Ludington]

Okay, great.

[Unknown]

Sharon. My last straw was over the past few years, I was really close to a guy friend. We called each other brother and sister for 10 years and his family was mine. He got married and instead of asking me to be in his wedding on his side, he asked a guy he knew for two years. I found out that he didn't want to. What? Oh, what? I found out that he didn't want me in a tux because he didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable. I dropped that friendship.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah. I don't like Sharon.

[Unknown]

Sharon.

[Camille Ludington]

I'm sorry.

[Unknown]

Sharon was gonna look too hot in the tux and show him up.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, yeah. You're gonna outshine him. Yeah, it's a jerk. Call him a jerk. Yeah.

[Unknown]

That's just petty. I don't like that.

[Camille Ludington]

Nope, I don't like that either. Cheryl says, I'd like to get your perspective on this last straw situation. A 25 plus year friendship ended because I couldn't force fully attend my friend's son's first communion. My daughter had a basketball game and I told her I'd come right after, which I did. My husband also couldn't attend because he's working a side job after losing his job, which my friend knew about. I gave her a heads up through text, but she cursed me out and hasn't spoken to me since. I was still invited with my three daughters to attend the gathering and she spoke to me. Then I realized that I was cut off after texting her to wish her a happy birthday. Now it's awkward when we see her and her kids. Her eldest is my goddaughter and my eldest is hers. Her son won't even say hi to me or. Or my husband anymore. Would love your thoughts.

[Unknown]

This is.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, I feel like something else is going on.

[Unknown]

I can't. Yeah, because listen, I had my first communion. I barely remember it. I mean, it's not. It's not a wedding day.

[Camille Ludington]

Although you are wearing a teeny, tiny little wedding dress.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Let's talk about that.

[Camille Ludington]

Well, you're getting married.

[Unknown]

Well, I. Listen, I don't. That it's fine. Life happens. If you have a friend. Friend that can't handle the fact that your life also happens at the same time as theirs does then. But I agree. I think. But you know what? It was the last straw. You're right. There are odds there. We need to know the other straws.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah. Something, something. Something's going on here. I mean, because if that's, if that's it, then that's. I think that's a little bit of an overreaction. No, talk it out. I would, I would, I would go in with an attempt. An attempt to talk it up.

[Unknown]

Yeah. And the first thing you say is, what the hell is wrong with you?

[Camille Ludington]

Well, that's what Camilla would say. I would be like.

[Unknown]

Actually is worse than me saying, what the hell is wrong with you? If you call me to what the hell is wrong with you? I'm like, oh. If you went, hey, Camilla, I'd be like, literally pooping my pants. I'm like, oh my God, something terrible. I've done something really bad.

[Camille Ludington]

Really bad. Really, really bad.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Camille Ludington]

All right. Talk to me about Alice.

[Unknown]

Alice said my last straw in my friendship was when I was in hospital about to undergo surgery. My friend kept calling and texting me frantically about sending through a recording for a group project, telling me how unorganized and awful I was, even though I had already emailed the teacher and she was fine with it. I felt so disrespected. Major last straw. Yeah, it's a big last straw. I feel kind of stupid a little bit because I said my last draw was a toe stub. And everyone's last draws are way more intense.

[Camille Ludington]

Big last straws. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Unknown]

That's absurd. And I agree. Yeah. These are not. These are not great.

[Camille Ludington]

No, I think these are like, even bigger than, than the last straw.

[Unknown]

It's the last, like, log.

[Camille Ludington]

It's the last. Yeah, the last stalk.

[Unknown]

It's the last.

[Camille Ludington]

What's bigger than a straw?

[Unknown]

Like, what's bigger than a straw?

[Camille Ludington]

It's a tree.

[Unknown]

Yeah, it's the last tree.

[Camille Ludington]

Okay, Sarah wrote in and said my last straw that Made me end my relationship. Was my ex continued allowing his mom to get involved in our relationship. Even after multiple conversations, his parents would randomly appear at our date nights. What? We couldn't hang out on our own without him involving his parents. The final straw was him lying to me about not being able to have date night because he was reined in at his house when it was only sprinkling to later find out his mom was there and didn't want him to leave the house. So weird. When was the last time we got rained in at your house? I'm sorry, I can't come. I'm rained in.

[Unknown]

I mean, it would have to like. Jessica, I'm sorry. I just thought it's raining a little bit and I can't go. It would have to be severe rain. Like, I'm really worried.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, yeah.

[Unknown]

Sprinkle.

[Camille Ludington]

No, no, no. Not sprinkling. Yeah, that would be a last straw. I think that you. Well, the last one is lying almost. You know, lying is definitely gonna.

[Unknown]

Lying is gonna be always a last straw. The final. Yeah, that's not good. I don't. You know what? And I'm not so sure about the whole, like, why are your parents randomly appearing at your date nights? Why do they even know where you're going? Like, I'm not texting Martin Ludington and letting. Going. I'm hitting up Chili's in an hour. Do you know what I mean, by the way? Because he would come. That's true. He would show up, which is why I would tell him, okay, joining. Enjoy it. But why are you even telling them where you're going? Maybe they have his location.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, they shared locations. That's the thing. Do you share your location with people?

[Unknown]

I recently. Recently when? Me and you were somewhere. Oh, when we went to Palm Beach, I shared my location with Matt. And then I took you away like. Well, you were looking a little.

[Camille Ludington]

In case I did something to you.

[Unknown]

Yeah, I was worried. I knew I was looking too good that week. And I'm like, I don't trust her. I have a glow this week. Don't know what she might do.

[Camille Ludington]

Take advantage of the club. Okay. Yeah. Well, carry on.

[Unknown]

Charlotte said. Charlotte said my last straw was getting into a car accident. Not my fault. And my girlfriend's first sentence being, my car immediately went home, packed my bags with excruciating whiplash. Can't be the first thing.

[Camille Ludington]

No, you can't. You can't.

[Unknown]

Can be the first thing you say. Obviously, at some point you're going to say, how's the Car.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, yeah, but you.

[Unknown]

You know, you gotta time that.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There. Well, I think there also had to have been other behavior that made this the last straw.

[Unknown]

Well, that's what did. The last straw. That's what the last straw is. We're not saying it's the first straw.

[Camille Ludington]

No, the only straw. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I did. Oh, yeah.

[Unknown]

That's the whole point of this, Jess.

[Camille Ludington]

So sorry. So sorry. Yeah, I'm still caught on you sending Matt your location.

[Unknown]

I only turn it on when I'm with you. Yeah, I've turned it on. I've turned it off back. And if we're together, even just sometimes in the podcast, I'm like, I better turn it on. I'm in the next room. But you never know. I don't know what she's capable of.

[Camille Ludington]

This girl is powerful.

[Unknown]

Oh, it's sucked through the screen like poltergeist. Okay. So stupid. Come on, you gotta read Phoebe.

[Camille Ludington]

Okay, sorry.

[Unknown]

Phoebe's last draw.

[Camille Ludington]

Phoebe wrote in and said my last straw was my friend of 10 years missing my birthday for the 6th time. The kicker is, he told me he was too sick to come to my birthday. And then I found out he was out partying with some newer friends he met because someone on his Instagram close friends story screenshotted his post and sent it to me. So not only did he miss my day, he lied as well. GROSS.

[Unknown]

I mean, six times in a row.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, he only made four of the 10 years that you were friends.

[Unknown]

That's annoying.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where, by the way, all that social media can really bite you in the butt.

[Unknown]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

I'm also dumb. And by the way, why weren't you on his close friends if he's posting it to Instagram, didn't you know you.

[Unknown]

Would see, because you can go in and you can edit that. You can figure out who's the. Who's the not close friend.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh, I don't like that.

[Unknown]

No.

[Camille Ludington]

Nope.

[Unknown]

Okay, Nicholas, last one from the crew. Last final straw. My last straw was when I was asked by my best friend since childhood to do a guys trip on a cruise. So I went with him without my fiance. Well, he basically ditched me the entire cruise, drank heavily every night and ended up having a boatmance. I've never heard that with a married woman twice his age. I shouldn't comment on anyone's appearance. However, the woman he slept with on the cruise was missing.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh, stop. Whenever you say I shouldn't comment on anyone's appearance, and then you continue. Here we go.

[Unknown]

I know, but here we go. He's going in. He's missing a front too. She had tattoos across her chest and had leather skin due to sun damage. I thought you weren't gonna comment.

[Camille Ludington]

He wasn't gonna comment.

[Unknown]

He's like, but here's my list. Mind you, my friend is 32 years old. She had to have been 60. I basically was on this cruise alone, and he was nowhere to be found. It was so rude and a waste of money. Okay, before we get into this, you know what this is? This is consensual, right? And the age, the six year old. You know what? I don't know what she looked like to you, but she was having her fun. The. The last straw is that you got ditched.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Unknown]

It does sound like your friend's clearly going through something. He's drinking every day, so there's, you know.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got ditch. Well, also, it's like, yeah. When you get asked to do something and it's very specific, like, let's do the guys trip. And so then the friend doesn't bring the girlfriend. And then this happens. It's like it's the last straw.

[Unknown]

It's hard when you're on a cruise too, because there's nowhere to go.

[Camille Ludington]

Where are you gonna go?

[Unknown]

Yeah, there's nowhere unless they stop at a port.

[Camille Ludington]

So if I went on a cruise with you, would you need to share your location with that?

[Unknown]

I would always share it. I would always. Honestly, even if there was nowhere to.

[Camille Ludington]

Go, like, you could only be on.

[Unknown]

When I just come over to the house, I'm like, I'm here. I'm going from the living room.

[Camille Ludington]

I feel like I know something new about you now. I just don't know if I can unring this bell.

[Unknown]

You can. You can't unring it. It is what it is, you guys. I love it. I hope that you guys don't have many last straws this holiday season. May the last straws be but be non existent this year.

[Camille Ludington]

The last straws be in a beverage of your choice.

[Unknown]

Eggs Jessica Capshaw.

[Camille Ludington]

[Camille Ludington]

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Camille Ludington]

I love the short and sweets.

I do love a short and sweet. I love getting to hear from the crew. Their stories are always, you know what they. You never know. They surprise us every time. They're all different. But I love hearing Their. Their finals, their last straws.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Unknown]

They're all very different, too. And they were big. I. The toe. Stop. I should not have started with.

[Camille Ludington]

No, it's okay. You gotta have a starting point. And you know what? Every. There's no bad answer. We're all just, you know, free to. Free to have our feelings. I'd like to. On our next short and sweet. I'm just throwing it out there. We can, you know, do it. What you will. I'd like to talk about things like. No, I want to talk about side parts versus middle parts.

[Unknown]

I do want to talk about that.

[Camille Ludington]

I want to talk about that. I don't care about the whole skinny jeans versus other jeans.

[Unknown]

I do care, because I don't need a skinny gene coming back.

[Camille Ludington]

No, I don't. I don't really either. But I care less about it than I care about the side part versus middle part.

[Unknown]

So let's hear from the crew. We'll throw it out now.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah. How do you feel about a side.

[Unknown]

Part versus a middle part? And what are things that you have been told are out that you don't care about and will always be in for you?

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, because, by the way, I'm noticing because I do like a side part. I do. And I was. And I've trained myself against it now because, you know, it's not cool. I'm not someone I don't know.

[Unknown]

I think I.

[Camille Ludington]

Younger and cooler said, they're disgusting. Side parts are disgusting. How can a side part be discussing.

[Unknown]

Blake Lively is rocking a side part every single red carpet.

[Camille Ludington]

See, you complete me. I was going to say, I see Blake Lively rocking a side part all the time. Literally all the time. Literally. Never do I see her with the middle part. I see her just with a tousled side part. Loveliness. Lively loveliness. So anyways, do you stay true to who you are and keep your hairdo.

[Unknown]

The way that you want to do? It made this so deep.

[Camille Ludington]

Do you see.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

It's part of your identity. Or do you go with the trends and middle part.

[Unknown]

It.

[Camille Ludington]

Even if it doesn't look good on you. Because remember we were having the conversation where I said I can't wear a slick back ponytail and you can. And you said you haven't tried. And I said, I'm pretty sure it's not gonna look good.

[Unknown]

I don't look good when you.

[Camille Ludington]

No, I haven't tried it. Really?

[Unknown]

Well, when we. Back. When we went back to your place and we had our sleepover and my location was on and you did it. It looked good.

[Camille Ludington]

That mysterious car pulled up.

[Unknown]

Well, I know. And it was Matt because it was checking you out, making sure nothing. And yeah, it was. Wasn't a situation. I. Okay, I love this idea. So why don't you guys drop us? We're gonna. We'll put this on social media when this airs and we'll make sure that you have the what's in, what's out. What do you wish what's in right now that you wish was out?

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, see, look, I'm showing you right now.

[Unknown]

It looks good right now.

[Camille Ludington]

I don't know.

[Unknown]

And. And we'll have a poll. Should just have slipped back there. We'll have another poll. Do you think that Camilla needs to keep her location on when she suggested capture? Because like, you know what's gonna happen. The crew's gonna say, yeah. Then she does. All right, let's call it silly. This is silliness, this episode.

[Camille Ludington]

Let's call it the end of the episode.

[Unknown]
