Lube.

Wait, so you gave head with lube?

[Lauren]

Yeah. Silicone. Not silicone based. Water based.

[Hallie]

Okay. If it's silicone based, well, I don't want it bad.

[Lauren]

No, because it'll give you uti. Water based is organic, and it's better for your body. And it's better for your body. Silicone based. It will give you uti.

[Hallie]

Noted. When I go and buy lube next time.

[Lauren]

Also, it doesn't work in the shower, but, like, that's another point. But, no, it's fun.

[Hallie]

I think you will.

[Lauren]

Maybe.

[Hallie]

[Hallie]

What did I just say's, like, bench pressing on his dick.

[Lauren]

No, literally, I put my whole back into that squatting. No, literally. He was so impressed by the lube. I was like, what do you. Don't you jerk off? I'm confused.

[Hallie]

[Lauren]

He, like. Oh, yeah, he was Sorry.

[Hallie]

Okay. We promised him we won't talk about him. No.

[Lauren]

Yeah, we won't talk about him. I feel like that was pretty ambiguous. No. Right.

[Hallie]

That was ambiguous.

[Lauren]

Now that we're like, on the topic of like, Stagecoach and Coachella, whatever, we just filmed a little YouTube video for the Unwell page and they basically brought up a bunch of my old outfits and I had to rate them one to five olives. Five olives being the best, one all being the absolute worst. And it did remind me the Coachella era with the daddies that were in our life at this time was insane.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

And you just kind of like, coasted. You had a full boyfriend and we were like popping your. You were riding the coattails of these trips.

[Lauren]

But like, they. So our one Coachella trip, I remember it was post Covid and it like, everyone was so locked up in their own homes and hadn't been out in a while.

[Hallie]

It was the first Coachella where you.

[Lauren]

Could go out and like, I feel like everyone went. And it also, I feel like, was the first Coachella where, like, influencer culture was like, also a major thing there. So it was very interesting to see everyone on the grounds and how they acted. We went with these guys. We weren't hooking up with any of the guys.

[Hallie]

Yeah, there was four of us.

[Lauren]

There was four of us. Yeah, me and My two college friends and Lauren and all models.

[Hallie]

All models.

[Lauren]

And we're at this beautiful mansion. Billionaires. There was dinners, there was everything. But we weren't allowed to stay in the home of the mansion because we weren't sucking anyone off.

[Hallie]

No. So they got us an rv.

[Lauren]

So they got us an rv.

[Hallie]

Yeah. They put us in the back. The four of us in the driveway. Yeah. No, Ali thinking back, like, that's insane.

[Lauren]

That was insane.

[Hallie]

They were like, yeah, these four aren't putting out, so let's put them in the rv. Did you know that prior? No, we did not know.

[Lauren]

We did not know that prior to showing up.

[Hallie]

We didn't know that.

[Lauren]

I have videos at the rv.

[Hallie]

Did they buy our flights?

[Lauren]

Yeah, they bought everything. We had VIP artists, guest passes. Like, they were plugged in with all the DJs. We were going to all the sickest after parties. I think, like, we got, like, the royal treatment.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

But little do we know that, like, every influencer in their mother also got the royal treatment. Like the artist section. Remember how packed it was? They must have changed it after that one year.

[Hallie]

Yeah, I think.

[Lauren]

Well, we'd be.

[Hallie]

I also remember, like, I was working at UTA at the time. So the guys that we were going with, they're like, oh, like, you already have a. A pass.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

So they gave all of you. Like, I had my, like, assistant pass, whatever I got. Which was like, ga. And they got you guys artist passes. So that first night, I had to figure out a way to get an artist pass. And we ended up. You don't remember this? No. So we, like, show up and I'm like, I have. I have a. I have a VIP pass because I got it from work. And you guys all had artist passes. So that first night when we got there, we went to some party. I forget where it was.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

And somehow we ended up at Tyga's house.

[Lauren]

We went to this very LA esque pre coach. It was like an opening party. There was a dj. Everyone and their mother was there. We ran into all our friends. I totally forgot about this.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

And Tyga was there.

[Hallie]

We went home with Tyga and, like.

[Lauren]

We were supposed to meet up with our friends at Tyga's. And he was like. And they were like. They were like, we're gonna meet you there. And they never came. And I remember, like, we were sitting in, like, Tyga's securities, like, Lamborghini on the, like, Maserati.

[Hallie]

That wasn't a security. That was his agent, who was also Doja Cat's Agent, and that's who ended up getting me an artist pass. He, like, put my name down the next day and I went and got a new pass. Oh. And the daddies that we were staying with, we were. They were like, wow. They were like, they were so impressed. They were like, damn, girl. Like, you actually figured it out.

[Lauren]

I was like, yeah, But I remember like, thinking while sitting in the back of the Lamborghini or whatever on the way to Tyga's house.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

I was like, what the are we doing? Like, what are we doing? We need parents. Like, we need supervisors. We need chaperones.

[Hallie]

That was actually really scary.

[Lauren]

No, that was like, really. We were so naive. I like, pride myself of being like a Boston girl. That's like the least naive person ever. And, like, can pick up on like maybe like warning signs around me.

[Hallie]

But, like, I mean, we were good. Like, we still, like, no one did anything. We just went, kicked it with Tyga and left. Got it. Got an artist pass out of it and we were.

[Lauren]

Thank you, Tyga.

[Hallie]

Thank you. Bye.

[Lauren]

No. Yeah. That was insane.

[Hallie]

I think we tried to go to like, we tried to go to the grounds one day.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

And we hated it. So much so that literally all the rest of the Coachella, me and Halle just spent by the pool.

[Lauren]

Like, we did a beautiful mansion.

[Hallie]

Yeah. And they brought one of the DJs.

[Lauren]

They would let us. Oh, yeah. I don't think I've consumed more mushrooms than that Coachella. One weekend.

[Hallie]

I. I think that was the last time I did it.

[Lauren]

I got really scared going through the grounds. I felt like I was on the magic carpet. Like. Like a risen magic carpet.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Like I was floating through the crowds.

[Hallie]

Well, we like accidentally took too many mushrooms and there's like a rose garden there. So we sat there for hours for.

[Lauren]

We didn't see one set.

[Hallie]

We didn't see one set.

[Lauren]

No, wait. We didn't see. Wait. Now that I'm thinking about it, I actually did. We.

[Hallie]

We saw Megan the Stallion. Cuz one of the old daddies was like busting down to Megan the Stallion.

[Lauren]

She was like the last set of the whole weekend. The whole.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

And yeah, we didn't see a single set.

[Hallie]

No. But we did see black coffee for.

[Lauren]

Like literally 18 times in that airport. There was like this one afterparty we went to.

[Hallie]

Oh, my God, that was so. That was sick. There was two after parties that we went to. One, it was a private airport. Private jet.

[Lauren]

Airport is so sick.

[Hallie]

And I'm trying to remember what the name of it was. It's this, like. It's this specific company or, like, music company, and they take it over and it's like, super private. Like 200 people.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

And it's like, risen, so there's, like, a high rise and the DJ is playing out into the. Where all the airplanes are parked.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

And you're just dancing around the private jets.

[Lauren]

No, it was so, like. It was so sick. But I think Black Coffee was playing that night.

[Hallie]

I think Black Coffee was playing, too.

[Lauren]

It was just funny because, like, it was just like, us, my college friends, you and this one daddy that was like the leader of the daddies. And he would. He would only hit on one of my college friends. And the rest of us were like, yes, we're safe. Like, we're. We're like, not the ones getting hit on. It was none of our characters to really act like that.

[Hallie]

No. But she wasn't, like, flirting back. He was just really into her.

[Lauren]

He, like, really wanted her.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

He was, like, obsessed with her calves.

[Hallie]

What the.

[Lauren]

Yeah, he, like, a calf fetish.

[Hallie]

He has, like, big halves himself.

[Lauren]

Maybe that's why.

[Hallie]

Yeah. He wants someone to. He wants a baby with big calves.

[Lauren]

That's disgusting. That's a diabolical sentence. But, yeah, that was our hotel experience. I just. There's more. There's more.

[Hallie]

I'm, like, remembering so much right now.

[Lauren]

Okay, give me it. Give me.

[Hallie]

Okay. Do you remember that house that we went to? So that was one of the after parties. Was at the.

[Lauren]

Remember, we were in line.

[Hallie]

Yes.

[Lauren]

Okay. This is our party that. I'm thinking that's what I was talking about with, like, the influencer scene back in the day, which I also, as an influencer now, I just can't imagine acting like this.

[Hallie]

No.

[Lauren]

We'd be in, like, this massive line of people. Like, hours and hours of people waiting, and people just be yelling out their follower count.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

They'd be like, I have 300k. Like. Like, I deserve to get in. Like, don't you remember that? That's, like, one of the Only.

[Hallie]

To be fair, it was Solomon playing at. It's like the. It's one of the most.

[Lauren]

Remember that one that we went to in the morning?

[Hallie]

That was the same one. It like. Okay, this is insane. I wish I. I, like, need to find videos of this and I'll give it to you, Marshall, to see. It's insane. It's one of the most beautiful homes in Palm Springs that they do these, like, buyouts of. And we showed up. We weren't. You had. I don't know, like, 3, 000 followers at the time.

[Lauren]

Like, yeah, we went in a golf cart. Remember, in the back.

[Hallie]

Yeah. We were nobody. And all of these fucking influencers and celebrities are basically just calling out their follower account, and they're like, all. One upping the other.

[Lauren]

Yeah. They're like, I have five million. Everyone's like, what?

[Hallie]

Fudge you. I have seven.

[Lauren]

We didn't. I, like, we. I feel like I did something kind of crazy to get in.

[Hallie]

Well, you, me, and you. One thing about us is, like, we know. Like, we know, like, who to talk to. Like, we're not going to like you somehow. I eyed the one bald man.

[Lauren]

I remember this.

[Hallie]

And he was like, you. And he was like, you girls. And so he put me, like. They were like, it's over. Capacity done. Everyone leave. Like, get the out of here.

[Lauren]

I wonder how we were standing for him to call us out.

[Hallie]

Like, I think you were giving him me eyes. All you have to do. Ali was giving him me eyes. He was like, yeah, her. I want her. And he put me, you, and your two college friends on the back of a. Of a go kart and drove us around the back, and we got in for the final seconds of Solomon playing. It was insane. And then Solomon was like, okay, I'm doing an after after party on a beach.

[Lauren]

It was also kind of like, at a house.

[Hallie]

Yeah. It was like.

[Lauren]

It was all sand in the back, though, and everyone there was fire pits, and people were staying there until, like.

[Hallie]

9:00Am 9:00am they were still going.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

And we left around, like, it was insane.

[Lauren]

We left around, like, 7:00am I think.

[Hallie]

Or 6:00am okay, thinking back, that's, like, one of the highlights of my life.

[Lauren]

That we totally forgot about.

[Hallie]

Yeah. I'm like, wait a minute. Wait. I'm like, I hated we should go back to Coachella, but just for the after party.

[Lauren]

If that was, like, the setup, though, like, I would do that again. Yeah, but, like, less rv. The RV was diabolical. And the only time we were let into the real house was after all the models had left.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Remember, we stayed for, like, an extra day and we could sleep in the actual bedrooms.

[Hallie]

Oh, my God. I do remember that. Barely.

[Lauren]

So embarrassing.

[Hallie]

The RV was, like, a pivotal point in my life.

[Lauren]

No, that was a. We were humbled. We showed up so excited, like, with our full chest.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

And then we looked at, like, all the models chests, and we're like, you know, yeah, we're gonna set this one out.

[Hallie]

Honestly, though, great connections. Then we network because we see a Lot of them. Like, we still see a lot of them in New York. And, like, they. They love us.

[Lauren]

And we made friends. We made friends.

[Hallie]

We made friends.

[Lauren]

We're not shallow ass. No, we love a good human connection.

[Hallie]

That's. That's what I mean. Like, a lot of the people that you see brought on or a lot of the girls that are brought on trips, they kind of, like, take it for granted, and we don't.

[Lauren]

Yeah, you're like. You're networking, you're getting contacts.

[Hallie]

I had, like, five business meetings after the Coachella trip. Literally, I was trying to open up a club with one of the guys. He was like, I want my own gospel. And I was like, okay, you know who to hire.

[Lauren]

Me, literally. You love gospel so much back then.

[Hallie]

I did. I still do.

[Lauren]

We haven't gone to gospel for so long.

[Hallie]

I still love gospel.

[Lauren]

Have we grown out of gospel?

[Hallie]

No. Let's go this weekend.

[Lauren]

It's been Graydon.

[Hallie]

Yeah. Has he been there?

[Lauren]

I don't think so. I don't think they let him in.

[Hallie]

Why? You don't think they would, or you think they have?

[Lauren]

I don't think they. I think we tried to go once, and they didn't let him in.

[Hallie]

Okay. Because they, like. We're like, you're a guy pay $5,000.

[Lauren]

And he's like, what? No.

[Hallie]

No, we don't. Yeah.

[Lauren]

I mean, I just don't think girls should have to pay at clubs, to be honest. I think it's kind of rude to assume that we would.

[Hallie]

It's rude to make a girl pay.

[Lauren]

Like, that's not, like, for the girls.

[Hallie]

No. We used to, like, go out with, like, one of your. One of our friends, and we'd all. He'd be like, yeah, like, it's on me. I got it. And then we'd all wake up with the. Hey, can you Venmo me?

[Lauren]

Like, nothing gives me the Ickmore. When a guy.

[Hallie]

Venmo requests me after telling me, you're gonna be fine. Like, don't do that.

[Lauren]

That was a scheme that was robbing us.

[Hallie]

That was his every single time. You guys are good. Don't worry.

[Lauren]

No, no, we got you. We got you. And then he'd be like, could you please pay me 427.32? And we're like, what?

[Hallie]

What? Like, I wouldn't have gone if I knew that I was gonna have to.

[Lauren]

But he knew that, which is why he wouldn't wait to tell us.

[Hallie]

That was our mistake.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

And he would, like, chase it down, too, if you weren't paying it, which. It would take me, like, two weeks until a paycheck. And he'd be like, when are you paying me?

[Lauren]

I'm like, I wonder how he's doing. He might be at Gospel right now.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Hallie]

You, like, live there.

[Lauren]

I've also slept with this man. I should not be memoing for anything. Yeah, he should be vemmoing me for.

[Hallie]

Compensation for blessing him.

[Lauren]

Yeah, that's prostitution. But, like. But yeah.

[Hallie]

You got with him when? In college.

[Lauren]

In college.

[Hallie]

What were you like in college? Because we weren't friends when you were in college or I didn't know you.

[Lauren]

I was kind of like, worse than what? Than I am now?

[Hallie]

In what way?

[Lauren]

I thought a lot less about consequences of my actions, and I was a lot more impulsive about my decision making.

[Hallie]

Really.

[Lauren]

And I was kind of like a threat to society.

[Hallie]

Oh, my God. I was like. To who?

[Lauren]

To myself.

[Hallie]

Do you think that we would have been friends in college?

[Lauren]

Yeah, I was like. I would say I was, like, pretty, like, cool. In college I had, like, a good friend group and I had a good boyfriend, and I wasn't in a sorority.

[Hallie]

Did you have sororities?

[Lauren]

Yes, but they all got kicked off pretty much when I was there. But I didn't have a good gpa. I, like, didn't know you have to, like, go to class in college. I was just like. I thought it was like the movies. No, I literally thought it was like the movies. Like, you didn't have to go to class. It was like a suggestion, basically. And so my gpa, my freshman year, we. I was on trimester, so it was like you would only take three classes A. A term. I got two C minuses in an F, so my GPA was like a 0.9 or like a 0.09. Something insane. It was like a C minus, a D and an F. I don't think.

[Hallie]

My freshman year grades were very good either, but I think I picked it up after I quit tennis.

[Lauren]

No, but they were so bad. They were like. They were like, you can't rush. And also I was kind of blacklisted. This one girl thought I, like, hooked up with her boyfriend or her ex boyfriend.

[Hallie]

I was controversial during the rush process. Apparently that's what I learned after I'm.

[Lauren]

I was definitely. I think I was blacklisted from all the sororities before. Like, before.

[Hallie]

I was definitely blacklisted before it was.

[Lauren]

Even cold out on campus.

[Hallie]

I was blacklisted from one by one of my teammates. Which is insane.

[Lauren]

That's, like, kind of rude.

[Hallie]

Yeah. And she was, like, pretending to be my friend.

[Lauren]

Wait, I, like, know this girl, don't I?

[Hallie]

No, I think you would have hated me in college.

[Lauren]

I was, like, heroin chic. Like, I went to rehab. I wasn't, like, making good grades, and I was, like, super unstable.

[Hallie]

I was, like, really? Pick me. I think you would have hated me.

[Lauren]

You would pick me.

[Hallie]

Oh, my God.

[Lauren]

I remember I first met you when I visited Bucknell when I hooked up with that guy that was a born again virgin now. Yeah.

[Hallie]

But, like, did I. Because when you came to visit, I.

[Lauren]

Have tennis practice in the morning.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Because I, like, what do you do?

[Hallie]

I know. And I remember walking. I thought you were, like. I thought you were really cool. I was, like, excited to meet you, but I couldn't because I had tennis.

[Lauren]

Yeah. You made that known.

[Hallie]

Yeah. Because just in case, hey, I played D1. I'm a D1 athlete.

[Lauren]

Yeah. There's nothing D1 about anything I did besides, like, hooking up with people in college. That. That was the only D1 sport I was active in. Other than that, like, I was a deer on ice when it comes to athletics.

[Hallie]

Really?

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

Well, I can't do anything else. Like, I'm not, like, fast or, like, cordon. I can only play tennis.

[Lauren]

You have to be really fast. Play tennis.

[Hallie]

You would think I'm really slow. I can just, like, read the court really well. So I would, like, get there before I had to run really fast. And if I did have to run really fast, I just wouldn't go for it. I'll get the next one.

[Lauren]

I'm, like, not my working out era. Right now.

[Hallie]

We're in a big workout.

[Lauren]

I don't do anything in, like, moderation. I've realized that about myself. Like, I don't want to stop or, like, you know, find, like, a middle ground in anything healthy or productive. So when I'm, like, in a working out era, I'm, like, doing, like, three.

[Hallie]

Classes a day with, like, 50 pound weights on her back. Like, remember sandbags?

[Lauren]

No. Remember Nantucket?

[Hallie]

Yeah. I worked out with Halle and I up my neck for a month. Actually, the whole summer.

[Lauren]

I was jacked.

[Hallie]

Yeah, you were, like, working out with Jordan. Like, Jordan was keeping up with you.

[Lauren]

No, I was like, I'm, like, pretty athletic, though, when I can get into my athletic era.

[Hallie]

You're strong.

[Lauren]

When I stop, I'm not strong anymore.

[Hallie]

I would say you're still strong. Like, if you, like, grab me.

[Lauren]

What? When do I grab you?

[Hallie]

If you were to grab me.

[Lauren]

No. Yeah, but those are my nails. I'm mighty. I have sleepers build.

[Hallie]

Sleepers.

[Lauren]

Oh, again or again? I have a sleeper chest and a sleeper bill.

[Hallie]

Yep. Sleeper tits and sleeper build.

[Lauren]

I also have short fused. So I feel like when I'm working out, I'm like, I can like get my adrenaline going really quickly.

[Hallie]

Interesting. I hate working.

[Lauren]

You hate working out. I don't know why. You do classes. I do when I. I do do solid core and pilates and you do SLT, right?

[Hallie]

I do like body rock, but it's 40 minutes so it's perfect for me because if anything after 40 I'm like, get me the out of here.

[Lauren]

No, I agree with that. I kind of wish like. I think 40 minutes is like all I need.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

To tone up.

[Hallie]

I guess. I also have just PTSD from like working out for like so many years for small sports.

[Lauren]

Like you don't find it enjoyable?

[Hallie]

No.

[Lauren]

You find it a chore.

[Hallie]

I find it a chore. Imagine someone telling you like, you have to sprint until you throw up. Like, yeah, you'd probably hate it too.

[Lauren]

I'd be pissed.

[Wanda Sykes]

Great brands, great prices. Everyone's got a reason to rack because.

[Unknown]

They have framed jeans.

[Lauren]

Nike. Yes.

[Hallie]

Just so many good brands.

[Wanda Sykes]

Vince, Kurt, Geiger, London, Rag and Bone and more are at Nordstrom Rack stores now. You never know what you'll find but you know it's going to be so good. Great brands, great prices. That's why you rack.

[Hallie]

I actually like, don't know. Like we never like talk about this stuff.

[Lauren]

We never talk about like our college selves. I just feel like when I entered college I had a Boyfriend. And then within the first two weeks, I found out he cheated on me. And after that I just kind of saw red. And I said, I don't have any trust in all like these men people. And I'm just gonna be like a stone cold and compartmentalize all my feelings, put them in a box and see what like the whole life is like.

[Hallie]

That's probably like the best way to do it. Like that's. It's the best place to do that is college.

[Lauren]

Yes. I definitely went through like a lot of trial and error with how I conduct myself, like in the social scene. I mean, I. You also have to remember, like, I went to an all girls Catholic school.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

And then I went to a co ed college where I'm living with guys now.

[Hallie]

Right.

[Lauren]

I didn't know what to do with that. All these dicks in my face.

[Hallie]

You're like, give me all them.

[Lauren]

I did nothing in moderation. Literally nothing in moderation.

[Hallie]

Moderation.

[Lauren]

So I just thought it was like. I thought it was like a cool thing to do. But then I shortly realized I was kind of like a. A fleshlight with a beating heart. Which is insane to say.

[Hallie]

Yeah. It's probably not a realization.

[Lauren]

Like, I've calmed down a lot since college. But also I didn't have a lot. Like I've shown you guys that I've hooked up with in college.

[Hallie]

Yeah, but like, they were the guys that went to your college. Like, you really picked the best that you could.

[Lauren]

No, maybe some of them were really James.

[Hallie]

Some of them were really bad.

[Lauren]

And like, I used to have four ways with my roommate all the time.

[Hallie]

That's the funniest. No, no, this is the funniest that I've ever heard because it's just so shocking to me. Like, Halle, can you please tell them?

[Lauren]

My first breakup with my college boyfriend.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

I was like kind of heartbroken. I was. Didn't know how to navigate the new space. Didn't really want to get with anyone else. I remember it was summertime in my roommate and I was like, I haven't had sex with anyone else since like this one guy. And my roommate at the time was like, this one guy was hitting on me. So I like, was hitting it off with this guy for gawi weekend on Nantucket. And he was super hot, played lacrosse, like, totally my speed. And I was like, I, like, I'm scared to get with this guy. Will you do it with me? So she did it with me. And after that we just like thought it'd be fun to have, like, foursomes for, like, the rest of our college experience.

[Hallie]

Like, Halle told me that, like, if she found a guy, like, one night, she would tell her roommate, she'd be like, all right, I found a guy. Like, you have to find someone. Like, we have to go back together. And, like, if her roommate found a guy, she would look at Halle, and Hallie was like, yeah. I would pick out the first guy so I saw and be like, you. You're coming.

[Lauren]

Really? Someone at arm's length? I'd be like, right? Yay.

[Hallie]

Because they. They had to have sex together.

[Lauren]

We had two twin beds in the same room, and we put our Marshall stuff speaker.

[Hallie]

Okay, you weren't having, like, foursomes. You guys were just, like, having sex in the same room.

[Lauren]

I know, but, like, what do you even call that?

[Hallie]

Like, roommates?

[Lauren]

Is that, like, a universal college experience where, like, you just, like, have sex in the same room?

[Hallie]

I think it. I think yes.

[Lauren]

But, like, we were so in sympatico. I had the best sex playlist ever.

[Hallie]

I wouldn't say it's a universal experience where, like, you're like, okay, like, you found one. I have to find someone. But I think it is universal reversal in the sense that, like, everyone's, like, had sex with, like, in the same room as they're called. You. No, but I've had sex in my. I've said no. No, no, no. Wait. Yes. My answer is yes. I've had sex in my college dorm room while my roommate was in the room, but she wasn't also having sex. You know what I mean?

[Lauren]

Oh, we would, like, line it up where we were all just having one good time.

[Hallie]

I don't think that's universal. Why?

[Lauren]

That's, like, friendship to me.

[Hallie]

Yeah, that's.

[Lauren]

That's friendship.

[Hallie]

That's a hundred.

[Lauren]

Like, she's a lifelong friend. No, like, it is kindness. She is still my friend to this day. Don't know if she'll come on the podcast, because I think she wants our identity.

[Hallie]

We'll put her to schema.

[Lauren]

She is. She has. She has craziest stories. She, like, her James Franco era.

[Hallie]

Insane. That's a whole episode that's like, she, like, needs to come on, and we put her. You're right. Let's put her in a ski mask. We'll, like, fuzz out her face at the same time, and we'll really lower her voice.

[Lauren]

No, that would be hilarious.

[Hallie]

That would be insane.

[Lauren]

But she is so much. Lord, it's insane.

[Hallie]

Yeah. I was so different in college, like, with Guys, like, you would never expect it.

[Lauren]

I was like, so pick me.

[Hallie]

You were pick. I always pick me.

[Lauren]

Like, with guys. I was like, literally, can you pick me?

[Hallie]

Oh, I wasn't like that. I was. Pick me with, like. I wasn't. Maybe I'm just like a Leo. I wasn't that. Pick me.

[Lauren]

You were like, I'm chosen.

[Hallie]

I'm the best.

[Lauren]

You were like, I'm not even. Pick me because I'm already chosen.

[Hallie]

Yeah, but I. Wait. I actually really have funny stories that, like, you also don't know about. But, like, Emily has told you a few of them.

[Lauren]

Remember? Wait, can I say this?

[Hallie]

Yes. Yeah.

[Lauren]

Talking about, like, our college days.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

I visited your college.

[Hallie]

Yes.

[Lauren]

And remember, I, like, went home with that guy.

[Hallie]

The. The born again virgin.

[Lauren]

Yeah, he's a born again virgin. I think after we hooked up.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

And he put on that movie. What was the movie? It was like, you were there. It was how to Lose a guy in 10 days.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

And I just gave him a hand job for like two hours.

[Hallie]

For two hours.

[Lauren]

And he, like, didn't finish. And then we went to sleep.

[Hallie]

Like he was trying to be holy.

[Lauren]

No, I just. I don't think he liked me, but he wanted the hand job. And I said, my hand is at your service.

[Hallie]

Were you, like, watching the tv like, the whole time?

[Lauren]

But, like, how to lose a guy in 10 years is 10 days is crazy.

[Hallie]

It's like a little rom com.

[Lauren]

10 gates.

[Hallie]

Lose a guy in 10 gays and 10 gays.

[Lauren]

That was insane.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

But I didn't see that.

[Hallie]

He was cute. He was so. He was really cute. He was on the lacrosse team.

[Lauren]

That was like my type.

[Hallie]

That was your type.

[Lauren]

Still is. I like, us, like a skinny, agile lacrosse player.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

I was. My type was like, football boys and basketball boys.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

I was like. So my freshman year, I also came in with a. I feel like every girl comes into college with a boyfriend.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

And if you.

[Lauren]

The dumbest thing ever, by the way, like, don't go into college with the boyfriend.

[Hallie]

But to be fair, my boyfriend threatened me and was like, I'm never going to talk to you ever again. Like, if we break up right now and you go in. So, like, I was like, didn't want to lose him. So that's why I went in with him. And then my first day of class ever, I. I said, just got sat next to, like, this really hot senior. And I was like, yeah, okay. Yeah, man.

[Lauren]

That's all.

[Hallie]

And then. And then I ended up dating him.

[Lauren]

No. Yeah. Wait you dated a senior?

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

So I was talking with seniors too, when I was a freshman, and I feel like that was like the cunty thing to do.

[Hallie]

That was like, sick.

[Lauren]

No, like, you were a freshman.

[Hallie]

It looked really bad on the seniors part. Like, Like, I remember being a senior girl and being like. Like looking at my guy friends that were hooking up with freshmen. I was like, oh, my God.

[Lauren]

I just think the seniors are so cool when you're a freshman. No matter what the they look like. You're just like, I'm hooking up with a senior boy.

[Hallie]

He was like the captain of the football.

[Lauren]

They could be the most beat people ever.

[Hallie]

No, mine was hot. Mine was really hot.

[Lauren]

I was looking at what's on beat.

[Hallie]

But mine was hot. But not a nice. Not after college. You had a nice car. Yeah, mine didn't. Okay, you. You win.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

Yeah. I used to set my alarm because the seniors would go to like a bar at Bucknell. Like freshmen, juniors. Like, if you were a senior, you're going to a bar. If you're a freshman, whatever, you're going out to a club. And I club, I mean, a house. And I used to set my alarm. I would go to sleep at like 1 and the bar would close around like 2, 2:30. I would set my alarm to like, wake up.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

For his text to be like, you up? I'm like, yeah, I'm up. Why?

[Lauren]

Yeah, you're like, what do you mean? Like, nonchalant? Yeah. You're like, what?

[Hallie]

What are you doing? You're like, I've been hanging. You want to hang?

[Lauren]

Did he text you like a clock, like clockwork, and be like, you up?

[Hallie]

Yeah. He would just like, what? Like, are you up? I'm like, yeah. And then we, like, we were also in the same class together, so we would like, sit. Like, it was just so weird, but like, he wanted nothing to do with me. Classic.

[Lauren]

Classic.

[Hallie]

Classic.

[Lauren]

I can't imagine you getting your heart broken. We were talking about this the other day. Like, haven't you don't crash out over guys? No, in I do.

[Hallie]

You watch me crash out.

[Lauren]

Wait, should we talk about our crash outs with men?

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Yeah. Let's talk about it really quickly.

[Hallie]

Yeah, yeah. You go first.

[Lauren]

Yeah. You have to talk about mine. Okay.

[Hallie]

Okay. I just became friends with Halle. She invited me to her beautiful Nantucket home. I got so excited. I was like, oh, my God, it's the best weekend. My girlfriend, I show up, she's crushed out over this man.

[Lauren]

Oh, yeah.

[Hallie]

That she didn't want a Month prior. Like, she was like, didn't want anything to do with him. She's, like, spending a lot of time in her dark basement. Like, always.

[Lauren]

It was Covid what else to do. We're meeting new people.

[Hallie]

We weren't. But, like, you also. He was trying to. He was trying to, like, get you back, like, the month before. And you were like, no.

[Lauren]

Yeah. No.

[Hallie]

And then all of a sudden, now she wants him. He doesn't want her. She's re. Reading every text he sent her. You don't want to do anything.

[Lauren]

I was crying a lot.

[Hallie]

You were crying a lot? I didn't know what to say because.

[Lauren]

I. I like, you were like, this is so embarrassing. You need to pull your together or I'm not gonna be friends with you anymore.

[Hallie]

Like, okay.

[Lauren]

Yeah. You were like, what are you doing? Like, like, you. I wouldn't go out. Like, I wouldn't go out with you. You were like, we're going out. And I'm like, I don't.

[Hallie]

Didn't want to go out. I don't want to talk nothing. And it was. But it was like, that was the first time. I. I don't really think I. I've never, like, seen that before. Like, all my friends in college, kind of like, I saw, like, one of my friends crash out over a guy, but, like, no one paid it any mind.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

With you, I was like, it was just us two for like a week. So I was like, I don't know how to help you.

[Lauren]

Yeah, no, it was kind of embarrassing. Also, I've had a couple crash outs over guys.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

There's one guy that used to be, like, so mean to me. And I would just be like. But, like, I was so aware of how mean he was.

[Hallie]

You would look at me and be like, this isn't right. And I was like, yes.

[Lauren]

No. She was like, yay. Like, she's like, she's learning, learning maybe some self awareness. I'd be like, how do I get to his house?

[Hallie]

I was like, no.

[Lauren]

I was like, the subject is aware of what's going on. So you were like, yay. Maybe she's like, gonna, like, make strides to be better. And I'd be like, this just makes me want to more.

[Hallie]

You're like, how? Like, literally, how much does Uber cost?

[Lauren]

No. Yeah. He'd be like, hey. And I'd be like, what does this mean, Lauren?

[Hallie]

Yeah. I'm like, what the.

[Lauren]

Like, yeah, that was crazy. And then with you, your only crash. I was. When you're now soon to be hopefully husband didn't want to date you because he was still in college. Because he's a baby.

[Hallie]

Yeah. Wait, can we clarify? Jordan's not. He's barely younger than me. He's, like, six months younger than me, but he re classed twice for basketball, so he's two years younger than me in school, which is a lot.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

When you're, like, in a college, like, as a sophomore guy and a senior girl, which we didn't date until he was a senior, so it wasn't that bad. And it was Covid, so, like, I wasn't doing anything anyway.

[Lauren]

So you're like, oh, might as well do him.

[Hallie]

I might as well go to Bucknell. I might as well.

[Lauren]

You were going to Charleston.

[Hallie]

Well, that was his master's, so that's different. Like, he had already graduated. Like, thank God. Yeah, I would go to Charleston. That was fun. But when he was at Bucknell, I would show back up, and I'd be like, hey, I'd, like, go and see, like, old professors.

[Lauren]

No, that's insane.

[Hallie]

What the.

[Lauren]

Are you working on, like, the sophomore girls that were now seniors that you knew?

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

There's only, like, two, though, because it was, like, one on the volleyball team that I was friends with, and then, like, one other one.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

The rest of the girls hated me. No, they didn't hate me. They were just like, damn, you got him.

[Lauren]

You got him. Yeah. Jordan's such a good boy.

[Hallie]

Yeah. But I did crash out over him.

[Lauren]

Yeah. He didn't want you.

[Hallie]

Yeah, well, okay. It's not that he didn't want me. He got his heart broken.

[Lauren]

Oh, yeah. By his ex.

[Hallie]

By his ex hooker. She. Like, he, like, she. Wait, this is actually where we passed by her.

[Lauren]

The street in New York.

[Hallie]

I had no idea it was her. And then I was like, wait, I passed her. I was like, fuck, bitch, come back. Like, look at me.

[Lauren]

We, like, walked by, and she was like.

[Hallie]

Had no idea that was her.

[Lauren]

And door's like, hey.

[Hallie]

She's so underwhelming.

[Lauren]

No, like, we, like, like two ships in a night.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Just walk past her so nonchalantly.

[Hallie]

She noticed us.

[Lauren]

Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

[Hallie]

But no, he got his heart broken, so he didn't want to, like, get into another relationship. And then he was trying to make that, like. He was trying to, like, get me to, like. Like, got the hint.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

So I was like, cali. Like, I was like, jordan, like, I'm gonna drop Halle off. Like, do you want me to come over after? He was like, no, no, I actually don't No, I was like, what? I was like, holly. And then he, like, yeah. And then. And then. You know what? Best thing I did. And girls, this is advice. Best thing I did was being like, okay, fine. And then I was like, we can be friends. And I left the island, and I kept getting calls after that. He was like, wait, I feel like it's me.

[Lauren]

I feel like it's so easy to play mind games like that with men if you act like you don't, like, give a. Like, indifference.

[Hallie]

Indifference is.

[Lauren]

It's way stronger than hate or any reaction. What? We read this the other day. The opposite of love is not hate.

[Hallie]

That was in Desperate Housewives. We read this the other day.

[Lauren]

I was trying to sound profound, so.

[Hallie]

Right.

[Lauren]

Like, if you show literally lack any emotion at all, I feel like that evokes, like, a stronger response than, like, showing you give a. Yeah.

[Hallie]

He was like, wait, this girl's cool.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

And he, like, kept calling me. I was like, can I help you?

[Lauren]

Yeah, you guys were, like, snapping a lot. Like little teenagers.

[Hallie]

Well, it was like, four years ago. We were snapping.

[Lauren]

Do you still have a snap streak?

[Hallie]

Nope. The only people I snap is, like, maybe you once in a while if something funny comes up. But otherwise, like, you guys don't anymore? No, we, like, don't talk.

[Lauren]

Like, you and your boyfriend.

[Hallie]

No, like, we don't because, like, he goes to the gym in the morning. I work out. I go to work.

[Lauren]

He goes to work.

[Hallie]

Like, I come home. Like, I have plans with you.

[Lauren]

Like, I know we were talking about this the other day. I feel like you're very chill, lax girlfriend. Because you are so happy to go out with, like, without him. You don't care what he's doing, like, if he goes out without you?

[Hallie]

No, I feel like that I hope he enjoys himself.

[Lauren]

Yeah, but you just, like, trust so hard. I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop or the ball. The ball drop.

[Hallie]

I think in my mind, I'm just like, if you. If you break my trust, like, I mean, number one, then it's done. But two, like, if you don't want me, like, okay, okay. Someone else will.

[Lauren]

I promise. That's like a. Yeah.

[Hallie]

Like, that's my. And I think it's coming.

[Lauren]

That's a strong mindset.

[Hallie]

I think it comes from my mom. My. My parents are also very, like, independent. And I. I don't know. I think that's the best way. I, like, want my girl time. I like going out with.

[Lauren]

I know if I have some people that I see in relationships, that just completely lose track of themselves and, like, their friends.

[Hallie]

I have a lot of friends like that.

[Lauren]

Those are the worst people ever.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

And they shall rue this day.

[Hallie]

My mom always says those are the relationships that, like, never last.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

Like, you need to be, like, independent and then, like, come together when you're married, and then you have your whole life together. Same thing with, like, living together. Like, we don't really live together yet because I'm my whole life to live with him. I like my own space right now.

[Lauren]

I know.

[Hallie]

Like, why am I rushing to live with you when I have my whole life?

[Lauren]

That's insane.

[Hallie]

One of my really good friends from college who's engaged now, soon to be married.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

Her fiance has never. Maybe he's gone out with us. And they've been dating for six years, twice. Like, they're just so independent. They do their own things. He goes out with his friends. She goes out with her friends. Like, I would prefer that, because when Jordan does go out with me, I'm like, is he having a good time? Like, is he, like, making friends? Like, I'm thinking about him instead of enjoying myself.

[Lauren]

I feel like he can hold his own now, though.

[Hallie]

Hundred now.

[Lauren]

He's, like, part of the friend group.

[Hallie]

Now. He's part of the friend group, and he's been part.

[Lauren]

He's been part of the front group.

[Hallie]

Well, he's making guy friends now.

[Lauren]

Yeah, he's networking, too.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

He's network page out of your book. He's like, yeah, we should go out to network.

[Hallie]

It was so funny. We were driving today, and when we were. We dropped you off, we were driving back to the city, and we passed, actually one of the daddies that took us that was on the trip to Coachella.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Hallie]

And I was like, and he's a multi, almost a billionaire. Like, started two amazing companies. And I was like, oh, look, it's so and so. Jordan was like, how'd you just snipe that so fast? And I was like. Like, I went to Coachella with him. He's like, you're so good. He's like, should we stop the car? And I go talk to him, literally.

[Lauren]

That would be a good client.

[Hallie]

I was like, no. I was like, do you want to park the car and run after him right now? He's like, yeah, I want. I won. I want to talk to him.

[Lauren]

He's in his, like, hungry like, girl boss era.

[Hallie]

Yeah, I love that for him.

[Lauren]

Yeah, I love that for him too.

[Hallie]

I love that for him.

[Lauren]

He was on that call today. He Was like, he just wants to make money.

[Hallie]

He just wants to make money.

[Lauren]

Honestly, I'm really proud of him.

[Hallie]

I know that only. It's only good things for us if he makes money. Then he's taking us to St. Barnes.

[Lauren]

We're going to St. Bart's in Santa Fe.

[Hallie]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Staying in the villa.

[Hallie]

Jordan's also like, his mindset. He's like, I just want to make so much money so I can like, treat you and your friends.

[Lauren]

I was like, oh, I also like this mindset. He treated him.

[Hallie]

Yeah, I'll treat you, you treat my friends.

[Lauren]

Yeah. And that's all good.

[Hallie]

Well, your parents are coming next weekend.

[Lauren]

Yeah, my parents are coming next weekend. I'm gonna try to force them to come on the podcast because it's been a long time coming and my dad's been like, I want to have like a nice tan. Like, have my, like, you know, like, want to look really pretty. If I'm getting on camera, he's like, I want to look at the contracts. I'm like, wait, there's no. For you to look out for you to go on with, like, just do it for me, dad.

[Hallie]

He's like, I want. I wanted tanas. So on point for your dad.

[Lauren]

No, literally. But I'm going to try to do that next week. Lauren, always a pleasure having you on this.

[Hallie]

Thank you. Gren's coming next week.
