[Brooke]

No, I know. I mean, this is like my only destination of the day, though.

[Danielle]

True.

[Brooke]

But it's warm. No, it's warm. I mean, I could never have done this like two weeks ago.

[Danielle]

No. Yeah, we were freezing cold.

[Brooke]

No. February is a brutal but short month. And I'm here for, you know, shortest month.

[Danielle]

Yes.

[Brooke]

March is a. A happy time. You know, spring is just. And it's about to. We're about to spring forward.

[Danielle]

I know. Spring forward. I can't wait. My half Birthday is on March 20th.

[Brooke]

Oh, my calendar is marked. That's exciting. Big day.

[Danielle]

Happy Pisces season to all of our Pisces out there.

[Brooke]

Does it start?

[Danielle]

It's begun already.

[Brooke]

Oh, really?

[Danielle]

I know because my mom's birthday is March 2nd and she is a Pisces.

[Brooke]

Got it.

[Danielle]

We're definitely in it.

[Brooke]

Yes. I see.

[Danielle]

But yeah, Pisces season. I feel like there's a lot of March birthdays often. I don't know. I have a lot of March birthdays in my life.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Just depends on the person.

[Brooke]

Oh, really?

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I'm trying to think. I feel like I have summer birthdays in my life. Like summer. Yes. I have a. I have a good amount of August.

[Danielle]

Yeah. And like, yeah, it's so crazy because, like, growing up in Florida, August is not like summer to Me like, August is the start of school.

[Brooke]

I told.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

About that.

[Danielle]

Like, for me, summer is May, June, July. But here it's like June, July, August.

[Brooke]

Yeah, no, May was most definitely still spring. Like 100. Like you are fully until the 30. Yeah. Like you're. Until we were in like till the second week in June and then like we'd have finals.

[Danielle]

That's.

[Brooke]

Graduation was end of June. Yeah.

[Danielle]

But it felt normal.

[Brooke]

Yeah, definitely. Cuz it's, I guess the weather and stuff. Like you're not. It's not like. So the last few days you're like. It's so hot.

[Danielle]

But yeah, I'm ready.

[Brooke]

And then September, even it's like still a little warm. But then it just. You. It's kind of nice. I guess going after Labor Day like this. Like, it kind of makes sense on account.

[Danielle]

It makes total sense.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Danielle]

You guys basically do like after Memorial or. No, even past Memorial Day.

[Brooke]

And.

[Danielle]

And then after Labor Day.

[Brooke]

Yeah. But then I had to get used to the southern college schedule, which like, threw me off.

[Danielle]

Oh, that would. That probably meant one of your summers was short.

[Brooke]

That first summer was so short. I remember we went to la.

[Danielle]

Yep.

[Brooke]

That was. How long were we even there for? Because it felt like that was so long. But I think a week. Yeah.

[Danielle]

A little less.

[Brooke]

So we went for. That was like my big trip. And then I feel like I had to go home and like get all my affairs in order to go, you know, to. To college. Especially with rush. Like, you have to go. I think I was there like last week of July. Yeah.

[Danielle]

Yeah, you are. You're there the last week of July. So you probably had like three weeks of.

[Brooke]

Yeah, there was no. But I was so excited that it didn't matter. Like, I was like, oh my God, you were ready. I was so ready. And you know, like, you're so checked out senior year. I feel like you're like, oh my God, I'm ready to go.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Oh, that's so funny. Yeah. No. Now, ever since moving here, I'm realizing May in New York is like, I. You still wear jackets? Sometimes.

[Brooke]

It depends. Yeah.

[Danielle]

Such a rude awakening to another day.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I know. Like a light jacket.

[Danielle]

A light jacket. Like, like a light.

[Brooke]

Yeah. What light jackets are you gonna wear this year? Like, I need to like, start getting my. I don't. I don't know. I want to step up my code game. I realized that like, whenever I see these videos of like, people, like, cool outfit on the street, it's because they always have a cool coat.

[Danielle]

It makes the whole outfit. You're so right. Do you know those tiktoks where people will say you do not need the, the barn jacket. You do not need. And then you're like, well, now I want it now. What is this jacket? So that was on my feed like months ago and I just got a barn jacket off of asos. It really looks like a barber jacket.

[Brooke]

Oh, I literally have that.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

So like I fully have it and I check it, keeping it around and like waiting for it to re resurge. So yeah, that's.

[Danielle]

I think it's time.

[Brooke]

It's time.

[Danielle]

I think that's good. I think trench coats like what you had on today, like a light trench.

[Brooke]

I do like a trench. Yeah. Yeah. I still like a bomber. I still do like a bomber, but just something to like tie together the outfit like more so versus like warmth. Because I feel like in the winter you're focused on warmth.

[Danielle]

Yes.

[Brooke]

You switch to like it just being like a finishing touch almost.

[Danielle]

I know.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Oh, that's always the best time.

[Danielle]

It is always the best time. I love talking about the weather. Unpopular opinion. Like, you know, people like, then we just talk about the weather. Like I like to talk about the weather but then at the same time I always make fun of like when I'm in the elevator with someone and it's like, ah, the weather.

[Brooke]

You know, it's either like their dog or the weather. Like, it depends, you know, yesterday I had a dog, it was like perfect, perfect.

[Danielle]

Something like, oh, he.

[Brooke]

Oh, he's six months. Oh, big pause. Oh, he's going to get big.

[Danielle]

Like, you know, how big is he going to get?

[Brooke]

Like it's safe conversation. It's like it gives you something to.

[Danielle]

Proud of you for talking to people in the elevator.

[Brooke]

The dog was on me. So like kind of like, you know, it's awkward then and I wanted to be like, no, I. I like dogs. Like, you know, I didn't want him to be like, oh, this annoyed neighbor is like rolling right. You know what I mean? Like, I want to make it clear, like just so we know, like, I'm okay with this.

[Danielle]

I accept the dog presence.

[Brooke]

Yes, he's very cute. It's going to be a Bernie's. Well, it's going to be. It is, it's going to be. It's fully Bernays mountain dog. How do you have those in New York City? Can we talk about that?

[Danielle]

I have no idea. They're ginormous. They're so fluffy though.

[Brooke]

Yeah. The big dogs in New York City. I Mean, I love them. I'm so here for it. I feel like you just have to walk it 10 million times a day to, like, get it moving. Right.

[Danielle]

I'll get to walk it a lot.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

And they. Hopefully they have, like, a little bit of a bigger apartment. I don't know. Like, but I guess it keeps the owner in shape, too, because they're just constantly taking the dog out.

[Brooke]

Yeah. You can't have a day where you're like, wow, this is my first time leaving. It's like, in the evening time. Yeah.

[Danielle]

And that's. I feel like what has held both of us back from getting our own pets because. Oh, my God. Sorry, guys.

[Brooke]

I'm just. Danielle, are you on the men, though? I'm on the mend.

[Danielle]

I think so.

[Brooke]

We had shows this past weekend. You were a trooper. You really fought through. I mean, not that there was anything to be done. And you weren't like, I feel like you just had a lingering cough. Like, it was one of those.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Like, where it was just.

[Danielle]

First my voice was gone and my throat hurt, so I put myself in vocal rest as brave.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Danielle]

Yes. And then, like, towards the end of our trip in the Midwest, I was, like, keeping Brooke up all night. I was coughing. Well, I don't know.

[Brooke]

You weren't keeping me up. I feel like I woke up a few times, like, a battle, just coincidentally. But they were like.

[Danielle]

They were. They had some grit coughs. They were like. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Like.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, I felt bad because that sucks. I mean, you know, I. I felt so bad, too.

[Danielle]

Even before I literally, like, Uber eats NyQuil, I was like, brooke, I will try and, like, pass the out, but it's.

[Brooke]

No, but you went on stage and you performed and you did a great job even with it.

[Danielle]

Yeah, it was really fun, though. We had so much fun in the Midwest, which, speaking of, so sad, we had to reschedule our St. Louis show due to snow because we had people messaging us too, like, is the show going to be canceled? And so we went ahead and rescheduled it to June 26th. So definitely you'll have to, like, re. Get your tickets. You would have been refunded and then be able to repurchase. And we'll have the link on our link tree for you guys to purchase. But we're really excited. I'm really pumped because it's so beautiful in St. Louis in the summer. Have you ever been to St. Louis?

[Brooke]

No, I've never. Yeah, I've never been to, I don't think State in general unless it Was like, passing through, but I feel like that's like, out of the way to pass through for me.

[Danielle]

Yeah. I don't know why you would pass through, really.

[Brooke]

But you. I have your summer family reunion.

[Danielle]

Like, you should time it around your family reunion, which was really nice and thoughtful. So now I think my family reunion might be attending this show.

[Brooke]

So I'm here for it. It will be the Carolyn family reunion. And there will be some special guests at that show.

[Danielle]

Yes.

[Brooke]

And then we have Irvine, which is also going to be special guests. Just because we have, I feel like, YouTube friends and stuff that live in a. I still call them YouTube friends. I really need to work on that. That's just, like, always what I've called. People know from the Internet. Like, but they're not. They're like our friends. Like, it's just that when I was in high school and I would describe people, like, I would talk about Danielle.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

To my high school friends or whatever, I'd be like, oh, my. My YouTube friend D. That's who I am. I guess it makes your home friends, your college friends, your YouTube friends. Like, it was always YouTube. YouTube. But I guess you could say social media friend. But they're also just like my friends. Right? Like, they're just our friends. Like, Taylor King is like, our friend. Like, I don't know why.

[Danielle]

I guess, like, social media friends depends on who we're talking to. But now, like, I mean, at this point, you know, I say Brooke and people know.

[Brooke]

Well, exactly. It depends the scale of closeness.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Closeness in the.

[Danielle]

Or I'll say my podcast co host Brooke.

[Brooke]

Oh, yes.

[Danielle]

Like, I don't really say my YouTube friend Brooke anymore.

[Brooke]

No, definitely not. No, I don't say that about Katie. I would say either, definitely. Like, I think you pass a level of, like, we've hung out enough times and, like, you're so integrated in my life that, like. But I'm talking about people that I don't see regularly.

[Danielle]

No, totally. That's so true. Anyway, speaking of friends, I actually wrote this down to talk about saying the word girlfriend. We've been around people and, like, this is so common. Probably a lot of you guys say this that will say, like, oh, I'm going to dinner with a girlfriend tonight. And I think it's so chic and fun. And I asked Brooke, I said, do you ever say that? Which I know you don't, because, yeah, I'm around you.

[Brooke]

Like, the context would be like, oh, I'm. Oh, yeah, I'm going to get dinner with some girlfriends. Tonight or. Yeah, oh, I'm seeing my girlfriends on Saturday.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Or like, oh, I have a girlfriend that lives in Austin. I'm going to stay with her.

[Brooke]

Who used this phrase that started. Was it your mom?

[Danielle]

Well, my mom does use it, and I was going to say that she always. I noticed that generation says it a lot.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

One of our friends in Cincinnati said it and that's what triggered it.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Danielle]

Like, I have a girlfriend in Tampa. I want to go visit. And I was like, oh, my God, that was so, like, chic of her to say. But if I, like, every now and then, like, I guess to distinguify, like, okay, distinguify. I think I just made my. It's because I went and saw Wicked last night and they, like, make up. Like.

[Brooke]

Yes, they do.

[Danielle]

I didn't mean to scarify you.

[Brooke]

I think you've seen Wicked enough times that you're wicked ified.

[Danielle]

Yes, I wickedly.

[Brooke]

I think that you. You might be put on, not vocal rest, but Wicked rest.

[Danielle]

Yes, I'm on wicked rest. And we'll talk about that later. No, one thing about me, I beat things to the ground, you know, I see shows many times.

[Brooke]

That's okay.

[Danielle]

There was a reason I went last night, which we'll talk about. But, oh, if you're trying to distinguish, like, oh, I wasn't with guys last night. Like, I was with girlfriends. I have said that before. Have you?

[Brooke]

Maybe I would just say I was with my. My friends who are girls. I don't think I've ever used.

[Danielle]

Oh, really?

[Brooke]

Girlfriends? Or like, if I had to clarify, like, oh, yeah, it was just girls.

[Danielle]

True. Maybe I'd say that was like, just girls dinner. I would say, like, girls dinner.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Yeah. But honestly, I don't have guy friends. Like, I just don't, like, at this.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

In my life. I don't. I had some from high school friends, but, like, we all live all over the place now. Like, when I'm hanging out, I just don't have guy friends. Like, and I'm not saying that in any sort of which way. Well, no, but my friends are girls. Yeah.

[Danielle]

But then their boyfriends. Those are guys that are there.

[Brooke]

True. Then I would say, like, couples.

[Danielle]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Yeah. But it might not even necessarily be couples. I would say it's a few couples and some friend. Like, Yeah, I. I just. I don't think I'm a girlfriend's girly because all my friends are girls. But I do understand why someone would say it. And it is so fun to say, like, oh, my girlfriends. Like, but they don't.

[Danielle]

I don't even think people are saying it to differentiate, like, it from guys. Yeah, they just, like, say it. So we need to clip this, and I want you guys to comment down below. Do you call your friends your girlfriends, or do you say that they're friends? Because we want to know.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I. I think I would say gals. Honestly, I use gals a lot. Yeah. My everyday life. Yeah.

[Danielle]

Is that just us?

[Brooke]

Like, No, I think a lot of people do. Now. I've been seeing it more commonly used, like, not as much as girlfriends, of course, but I have.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Seeing, like, oh, just me and a bunch of gals, like. Or like, I'm going out with the gals day.

[Danielle]

No, totally. I mean, same, obviously, but that's obviously.

[Brooke]

Like, our brand, so.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

I'm curious. I just thought we should bring that up.

[Brooke]

Well, no, that is a really good point, but your mom is so, like, girlfriend's coded. Like, your mom is like, I'm gonna see a bunch of girlfriends. And, like, it just makes sense like, that she says that, you know.

[Danielle]

Does your mom say it?

[Brooke]

No.

[Danielle]

You don't think so?

[Brooke]

No. For no particular. I think she thinks alike. To me, that same.

[Danielle]

She think it's like a. No, it's not a Southern thing, because. No, it's not.

[Brooke]

No. Because I feel like I've seen Long island, you know, be like, me and a group of girls.

[Danielle]

Yes. Like, it's definitely not.

[Brooke]

I think it's. It's just lingo and what sticks, you know?

[Danielle]

Yeah. We'll have to get to the bottom of this and we'll update next week's episode. Yeah, we should do a poll on our Instagram stories or something.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Danielle]

Dying or on the newsletter. Can we do polls on our newsletter? Yes, we can subscribe to our newsletter while we're at it. Substack. We're very trendy guys.

[Brooke]

It's on Substack. It's. If it's so easy, people are like, where do I find it? It's literally on substack. I think it's GotG pod. I think that's the handle on substack.

[Danielle]

And it's really good.

[Brooke]

It's so good. There's truly premium content there every week for free.

[Danielle]

Yes. Like, this past week's literally had, like, date night ideas in New York. Like, you're welcome.

[Brooke]

So great point there.

[Danielle]

So if you watch us on YouTube and you're like, where the heck are Brooke shoes from? You can go to our GOTG LTK. And then we obviously both have our own LTKs as well, where you can find, like, we. We. We link literally everything. Like, things from our Instagram stories are linked on there.

[Brooke]

Like, it's all. It's all there.

[Danielle]

We try to make it as easy as possible. Like, I get so excited when an influencer I follow has an ltk.

[Brooke]

I know, because it's just, like, convenient to find it all in one place. And you're like, oh, my God, someone tell me where the bag is from.

[Danielle]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's there. I think that's it for housekeeping things.

[Danielle]

Sweet. Sweet.

[Brooke]

We haven't said that in a while.

[Danielle]

No, we haven't.

[Brooke]

I know, but we really have been sweep, sweep. I feel like we've been keeping things orderly. We've been hitting deadlines, you know, and we've been. I'm gonna. I'll give our pat on the back. I think we're doing pretty good.

[Danielle]

I think so. It's been gals. And the goes off to a good start this year.

[Brooke]

I think so, too. Yeah. Lots on the horizon. Nothing big. I'm like, big things coming. Not like one particular big project, but I just feel like good things around them.

It, like, literally walked off stage. We were like, yes. Like, we just felt so good. And that was because you guys made us feel so good. So thank you again.

[Brooke]

I just remembered I never told you guys this story about how one time I went down to my package room and I was like, hey, I have some packages. My apartment number is my blank. And the guy, he was like, oh, Brooke, good to see you. Oh, my gosh. Your skin. What it. Does it hurt? I quickly, like, looked at my phone. I was like, oh, my acne. You just mean my. My acne. What? And he started offering me all this advice and, like, telling me what I should do. And I. I just felt so humbled so quickly. I feel like that inspired me to kind of get a grasp on it, you know? I was like, okay, it's time. We're going to do this. And I have to tell you guys, apostrophe is so freaking cool.

And so it was really nice to have support during that time because I realized I wasn't in college anymore. We're all not hanging out all the time. Like, it's just different. Life happens and therapy can be a source of support for any area of your life. It's really time to shift the focus from doing it all to knowing that we're better when we ask for help. Like I said, I seriously love therapy so much. I look forward to my weekly meetings tremendously. I take notes during the week. I'm like, I cannot wait to tell my therapist this. It's like a really fun relationship that that I have with her. And Better Help is fully online, which actually makes therapy affordable and convenient. Serving over 5 million people worldwide, you can access a diverse network of more than 30,000 credentialed therapists with a wide range of specialties. We love that.

[Brooke]

Yeah, let's talk about what we're panicking about.

[Danielle]

I'm dying to hear what your panic of the week was.

[Brooke]

Cincinnati. Now. I chose to wear a dress that I did not get hemmed. I just raw got it in the mail and said, oh, this dress. Honestly, I was on the hunt for this dress. Like, it was, you know, I found it on Revolve, but it was pre order. And I was like, oh, I want to wear it to Boston because we're all wearing red.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I was like, it's not going to come in time if I ordered from Revolve. So then I had to go to the, like, the random, like, person's website. I mean, it wasn't that random, but it was just like, you know, an unfamiliar website to me, the designer's website. I was like, I don't know if it's going to come in time. I'm messaging them on Instagram. I don't know why. I was like, hi, if I order this dress today, we'll come in time. What's the sizing like? A little tip for you. They answer. So they answer. Yeah. And they were like, it should get there in time. Of course it should. One day off literally got there. Like, I think the day we got back from Boston, I was like, no worries, no worries. I'll wear it another time. Because the dress is so beautiful. And like, the return policy for the specific designer's website is like, how the Am I gonna return that?

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

No. So I knew that it was mine.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Mine to keep. Okay, let's figure this out. It's gorgeous dress. I was like, I'll wear it to Cincinnati. I didn't try it on, I guess with heels. I tried it on, like, solid fit. Saw that it was long, but I just figured with heels it would be like, maybe the appropriate length. The thing was so long. I mean, I'm 5 7, and I've never had a dress, like, drag on the floor like this. Especially with heels, because, like, length is usually an issue for me. If anything, you know, things aren't long enough. Do you have that with everything? Like, everything you wear? You're like, oh, it's short.

[Danielle]

Every single thing. Brooke. I put on these jeans this morning. I had to cut them. Like, I. I have a pair of fabric scissors. I pretty much cut all of my jeans.

[Brooke]

Wow. I.

[Danielle]

Because I don't. I can't be getting every pair of jeans, like, hemmed. I just. I'll take the raw hem. I don't.

[Brooke]

You order the short sometimes, or they're.

[Danielle]

Not available, and I don't care.

[Brooke]

Yeah, and you'll just go in and get them.

[Danielle]

Yeah. And sometimes the short, it's a little too short. Like, I'm. I'm on the cusp.

[Brooke]

I feel that way about the long. I'm a little.

[Danielle]

I'm a little too short for the long.

[Brooke]

Long is usually, like, five, eight, and above, and I'm five, seven.

[Danielle]

Right.

[Brooke]

Like, I'm right there. So it really depends.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I've got a lot of leg, though, so I'll flex.

[Danielle]

You can work with it, you know? Yes. Your gown, it was long.

[Brooke]

It was long.

[Danielle]

It looks.

[Brooke]

It would have been perfect with a fabric scissor. Honestly, I could have just used. Because it was, like, that light.

[Danielle]

Yeah. You wouldn't have noticed.

[Brooke]

Like, totally decided to wear a platform, Danielle. And when we went shopping at the outlets that time, I got these gorgeous Prada platforms. They're pretty comfortable. And, you know, I have a problem with picking uncomfortable shoes. I was gonna wear the comfortable shoes with this dress, but it was just, like, even in the hotel room, it was kind of, like getting stuck on them. I was like, oh, this. This is gonna be tricky, but, you know, we'll make it work. How much walking do we really do? I mean, no worries. We, like, get to the venue. And they were like, okay, guys. Like, you know, you want to run through sort of like where you're. Are blocking, essentially, like, where we're walking on and off the stage and whatever. And they were like, it's. It's a bit of a walk. The walk from the stage to the crowd, because we do go into the crowd, is about two minutes. Stage, the crowd in two minutes.

[Danielle]

And that's, like, with sneakers on.

[Brooke]

No. And we're only about three feet up on a platform. That is the stage. So I'm wondering, how is this even mathematically possible? Like, that.

[Danielle]

Where we have to go two minutes.

[Brooke]

Like, where. Yeah. Where do you have to exit the building?

[Danielle]

Like, no, it's giving, like, concert. Quick change, like, going under the stage.

[Brooke]

Seriously. But we were in. In theory, we were not going that far. Like, if we would have just jumped off of the stage, we would have been where we're going. You know, I almost thought, do we just slide off? But I was like, maybe not. I had the thought, like, can't they pull up some stairs?

[Danielle]

I know A ramp.

[Brooke]

A ramp even Give me. It was the most body surf. I'm sorry. Oh, yeah. Don't I just die?

[Danielle]

Who's gonna catch a scalp house?

[Brooke]

That would be crazy. Yeah, it would totally break my neck. Yeah. Especially in this outfit with all the. No, they'd be catching the tail of it and not the actual. Like. Yeah, my tail would be everywhere. But we. The walk was how many flights of stairs? It had to be four. It felt like.

[Danielle]

Oh, well, one, two, maybe it was four total. But like two staircases.

[Brooke]

It felt like a lot like we went down. To go back up. I feel like to go again. It was like one of those type. And I'm in these big ass, maybe 5 inch platforms. I usually don't wear, like, big heels. I'm in this long dress. And the people there were like, basically just like holding their hands over their mouths.

[Danielle]

Like they were chirping. Did you hear what she said? She was like, oh, my God. Like, I would have told you if I knew you were wearing heels. And I was like, it's okay. We live in New York. We got this. Like, it was kind of pissing me off, actually.

[Brooke]

I know in other cities sometimes, like, they'll like, hold your hand. Like, literally. No, you can hold my hand as I walk. Like it is, you know, I don't want to fall.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Like, thank you. Not that I was expecting that, but, you know, just a little more. They were like, oh, yeah.

[Danielle]

Oh, my God, these girls up and.

[Brooke]

Down four flights of stairs. At one point, I did get, like, all twisted in a bunch. Like, I was like, oh, my God. I gotta like, whatever.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

And the stairs were dark. It was. It was. Yeah. Like, Lucy had to come at one point with like a flashlight to like, save us.

[Danielle]

Yes. She was like, no one's with you guys. Oh, my God. Like, Lucy's literally on, like, basically right off stage, like, doing the whole show. And she like, had to come out and like, get us a flashlight.

[Brooke]

It was wild.

[Danielle]

It was all while we holding our microphones and I was like trying to keep the audience engaged. So I was like, we're coming. Like, every now and then I would like, say something in the mic. I don't even know if the audience could hear it.

[Brooke]

No, you were getting the crowd hyped up in a good way. And we had some people come on stage from the crowd. So if you had to do that zigzag. Thank you.

[Danielle]

I pray too.

[Brooke]

They probably were so fudgeing, confused, like, what is going on right now? Like, the guy was Leaving the severance hallway. But stairs. Yeah. Like, it was like. Oh, my gosh. Like, you know when.

[Danielle]

Yeah, it was a lot of stairs and just, like, fluorescent lighting and nothing much.

[Brooke]

And I should have just cut my dress because that was just, like, it was. It was a hazard to myself and to others because I would have tripped on someone and, like, you know.

[Danielle]

Well, now you know.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's all good.

[Danielle]

And it wasn't an issue on stage, at least. Like, I knew the show was fine.

[Brooke]

Because, I mean, how many steps do we really take during the show?

[Danielle]

Like, no, we just kind of walk up and down.

[Brooke]

Yeah. But in the crowd, I was like, we're bouncing all over the place. And you have the mic in one hand, so you're kind of like.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Like, you just tour things.

[Brooke]

Just. I know. I'm a touring artist. What can I say? Road. What about you?

[Danielle]

Eggs. We have to talk about this egg shortage. It's actually making me go crazy because I am such a breakfast person. And my option for breakfast is eggs. I've had to move over to yogurt.

[Brooke]

And granola making concessions because of the egg shortage.

[Danielle]

Truly. Like, I'm your life every week. I'm like, Whole Foods. What do you got for me? And it's just like, a little sign, like, sorry, like, we don't. We're not finding eggs that we're happy with right now. Imagine my boyfriend Ryan, who.

[Brooke]

How many eggs?

[Danielle]

Six eggs a day.

[Brooke]

Six.

[Danielle]

But three of them without the yolk. He would want me to tell you that.

[Brooke]

Okay. But it doesn't matter, though, because half a dozen eggs in this economy is literally, like.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Or maybe he's. He's probably had to ration it off a little. And he's been, like, freaking out, too. And he'll text me, like, found some here. And I'm, like, too lazy to go there, but I don't know. Actually, no, it's not just in New York, because my family in Florida, they were saying, there's no eggs. I'm like, oh, my God, we gotta fix this bird flu fast. Like, I feel so bad when you.

[Brooke]

Go to the grocery store and you just see the curtain closed. It's just a sad curtain. It's like, yes. Like, it's like, shows over kind of like.

[Danielle]

Yes. But what's crazy is I haven't had a problem, like, if I've gotten a bagel sandwich or anywhere else, like, they've had eggs, so.

[Brooke]

Oh, you're right. I was thinking about that. Like, even restaurants at Starbucks.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Or egg sandwich they have egg sand, but.

[Brooke]

And I'm like, is the price gonna go up?

[Danielle]

Because shortage egg prices are supposed to go up, I think, 40% this year or something crazy.

[Brooke]

I mean, they are. I was a one place. I once. I paid $10 for the dozen. Like, and I was like, this is just ridiculous. Like, and not. I'm not talking, like, the specialty, blah, blah, blah. Like, it was just eggs, but they were just, you know, New York prices.

[Danielle]

Do you have, like, a type of egg you go for?

[Brooke]

I guess like a collar or like.

[Danielle]

No, no. Like, I try to get the vital farms. Oh, you have a pasture raised organic egg.

[Brooke]

Oh, you have your. Your.

[Danielle]

Yes.

[Brooke]

No, no, I don't have a type. I've. Ben told me to get large. I was always used to getting extra large, but he told me to get large instead because it's a more standard size for baking. And he's a baker.

[Danielle]

Everyone has different needs.

[Brooke]

So now I just, like, it's in my head, like, get the large. But my family always got extra large because, like, it's an extra large.

[Danielle]

Extra large. Extra large. So you don't do organic or anything? You're like, are you, like, an organic buyer?

[Brooke]

It depends on the item and, like, the day and the mood that I'm in.

[Danielle]

Honestly, I don't know this about you.

[Brooke]

It's so, like, produce. It's like, it's so rogue of me to decide, like, if I'll do organic or not.

[Danielle]

It's just, like, it in the moment. Like, I'll get the organic.

[Brooke]

It looks better.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know.

[Brooke]

It depends. It really depends. Like, because I'm thinking Trader Joe's. Like, when there's the spinach and the organic spinach and they're both in the bag, like, I'll probably just get the regular. What do you do? You. You only buy organic?

[Danielle]

Yes, but that's because I grew up in an organic household. It's something like Ryan and I really differ on.

[Brooke]

Like, he's so, like, no, he doesn't need the organic.

[Danielle]

He's like, no, I don't need that. Like, it's just how I grew up. Like.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Danielle]

I think it just depends.

[Brooke]

There's. What do they say? There's like, the dozen. Dirty dozen. Have you heard this? No, that's like the. I don't know what they are. I actually want to look it up. They say that those are, like, the ones that you should get organic.

[Danielle]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Those are the ones that, like, the most. Like, I don't want to say I'm Not a doctor. You guys were fucking stupid. We're idiots over here. Yeah, we're literally idiots talking about pesticides in our food. Like, I don't know, I'm drinking a Starbucks with cold foam and sugar free vanilla. Like, the chemicals are in my body. That's fine.

[Danielle]

Extra vanilla.

[Brooke]

Extra. We need to talk about that.

[Danielle]

I wrote it down.

[Brooke]

The Dirty Dozen.

[Danielle]

The Dirty Dozen.

[Brooke]

Oh, it's here.

[Danielle]

You tell us, Brooke.

[Brooke]

Okay. Dirty Dozen food list. Here we go. The Dirty Dozen is a list of fruits and vegetables that are most contaminated with pesticides. The 2023. This is like an old list, I guess. Strawberries, spinach. I literally just said. Okay. Kale, collard and mustard greens, peaches, pears, nectarines, apples, grapes, bell and hot peppers, cherries, blueberries and green beans. Yeah, that feels like it's more than a dozen, but sure. Okay. So it's kind of. If I could simplify, it seems like berries.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

And, like, apples, pears, peaches. Like, you know, those sort of things. I kind of block those all together, so.

[Danielle]

Not bananas. Okay, good to know. No, no, I guess because they're wrapped like they're. You peel them.

[Brooke]

That would make sense, right? Yes.

[Danielle]

So it, like, doesn't really matter too much because you're peeling off the two idiots. Talking about pesticides.

[Brooke]

No, I literally have no idea. You know, I don't think my. I feel like my family is the same as me. I think. I think it just depends on the family that you get from if you'd buy organic or not. I'm a little cheap in that regard. Like, it's so weird. I will literally treat myself to an Uber every day. Like, no sense but that. $2 more for organic eggs, like that. That'll send me spiraling into debt. Like, I don't know.

[Danielle]

Again, it's back to the girlfriends versus friends. Like, it's just a way of life and how you grew up and what you say. So, yes, circling back to the extra vanilla, please tell the story. My mom's gonna die laughing, and I haven't gotten clarity, by the way.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. Well, you texted me. Both you and your mom texted me, like, got a spot at the coffee shop.

[Danielle]

I actually don't think.

[Brooke]

Or maybe you did it.

[Danielle]

My mom. Did you.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah. Your mom was like, got a spot at the coffee shop. Like, come and meet me. Like, something like that.

[Danielle]

I don't know. Maybe she wanted to say goodbye because she was.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I was so sweet. I. Like, I'll be down in a few. I slept in that day and it felt really nice.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Even though it was like the time change. So we didn't really sleep in. No.

[Danielle]

But a little bit felt like it.

[Brooke]

And then I finally go downstairs. I was like, okay, I'm going to like go get a coffee. I like saw the menu. I was like, oh sure, I'll take the cookie. Butter, chocolate delight, whatever the it was called. It was literally called or the Cupid's Brew. I think it was called that.

[Danielle]

It was like something good.

[Brooke]

I was, it was just served to me, you know, like when the menu is in front of you ordered that. I don't even know is it all sorts of sweet things. I mean I saw them going in with tons of pumps. It was delicious. One of the best lattes I've truly had in a really long time. So sweet. So good. I got my nice ice drink and my croissant. I walked back over the table and your mom like just is like, oh, did you get extra vanilla? Extra vanilla. And I love your mom so much that and, but I just had no idea. I was just like, like it's very sweet. Like yeah, I got the Cupid's Brew or whatever.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

And your mom just loved it. She was just sitting there laughing to herself. She loved, she loved it. Like, she loved that I was like drinking my sweet coffee and she got to see it.

[Danielle]

Yes. And so then we're in Chicago.

[Brooke]

Cincinnati. Cincinnati.

[Danielle]

Heading home.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Danielle]

And I just pulled up the text. I text my mom a picture of all of us in Starbucks, like you know, headed out and she goes, my gals. And I said, hehe. At Starbucks, of course. She goes, extra vanilla for Brooke. And so now we're like, what is this? Like what is this? And so I said, what is this coming from? And she goes, treat yourselves. You did it. And I said I got vanilla too. She goes playful Michelle with the devil emoji. So I do not know what she means by that. Oh. And then she said with a side of spray tan. I'm working on my new bit which.

[Brooke]

That she has a concept there. The spray tan and like the self care of it all. Like she has a concept. I think it's because we talk about that I drink sweet coffee, but I don't know if it was like extra, extra vanilla. I feel like that was her addition.

[Danielle]

To get vanilla in it.

[Brooke]

Yeah. So I think that was a Michelle add on.

[Danielle]

But so then today Lucy and I were at Starbucks getting coffee and Lucy goes, extra vanilla for Brooke.

[Brooke]

No. Now it's like my bed. I'm like all right. Extra vanilla. No. I know. It's so funny.

[Danielle]

Life on the road, you know?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

So you start to get what we.

[Brooke]

That's what we start to laugh about. Really.

[Danielle]

So now, mom, if you're listening, please clarify where extra vanilla has come from or if it's just your own thing.

[Brooke]

Please let us know, Michelle, please, please, please. Yeah. Yeah.

[Danielle]

Oh, my God. Favorites. We haven't even done that.

[Brooke]

Let's do it. Well, you know, I've been active. No, actually, I've. You texted me the other day, like, are you sore right now? And I was so sore, and I didn't know what to do about it.

[Danielle]

I was so happy you were sore because I heard you weren't, because you've been, like, on the grind this past week.

[Brooke]

The thing is, like, I'm really fit, but, like, I'm chronically sore, and I don't know when that ends. I've never gotten to the point where that end.

[Danielle]

No. And I think it's because we're not stretching or something. Like, I feel like when you talk to, like, Sydney Adams, like, does she stretch? Like, why aren't people sore? Maybe they are.

[Brooke]

I. There's a whole plethora of supplements I think you take when you start getting, like, serious, serious fitness, creatine recovery and all that. Oh, yes, I'm. I'm interested. I heard that. It's. Of course. Ben told me. But it impacts your liver or, like, whatever, or your kidneys or something.

[Danielle]

I know a lot of guys. Whatever bring up. I know girls do, too.

[Brooke]

I think if you, like, don't overdo it, like, it's fine, but. But it's, like, supposed to help build muscle anyways. Two idiots talking about supplements.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah. But they say electrolytes are, like, really good for. And I was actually on a good kick of, like, you know, doing, like, liquid IV or element every once in a while. Especially, like, last year, like, when I was really working out, it completely fell off. I just was like, I. Water is fine for me. Not really. Like, I feel like you do need a little bit of an extra boost.

[Danielle]

Yeah. On those days where you really, like, overexert yourself or.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Okay, gal pals. We're on the brink of spring, and I am pretty giddy to not be shivering every time I walk outside of my apartment. Let me tell you, Roback is the brand we've gotta add to our warm weather wardrobe. Their new line is perfect for brunch with friends after a long morning walk on the west side Highway. I just unboxed their New active squirt. And the colors are everything. They have your neutrals, white, black, and navy. But they also have some gorgeous spring colors coming. I can't wait to throw them on with a sweater around my shoulders and head out for a. A full day of errands. Hang out with friends, whatever it may be. In the meantime, as we're waiting for things to heat up around here, their Tempo jogger set is the perfect cozy outfit. These have been our favorites to wear. If you get your hair and makeup done for live shows, like for all the gal pals in their travel girl era, think perfect plain outfit. Use the code gals on roback.com for a generous 20 off your first order through the end of this week. That's spelled R H O-B-A-C-K.com.

[Brooke]

Like, I feel like it's nice even before I work. Like, if I'm. If I'm sore and then like, I'm going, like, today I woke up sore. And like, I'm like, I have a workout later. Like, I have to not be sore 100 or like, at least be like, you know.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Able to function.

[Brooke]

Yeah. I found these new electrolytes. I've tried them before, but I really like them. They're noon. N U U n. Yeah. Yeah. They're tablets. I mean, it's so easy to travel with them. Like, so it's nice. You can just pop them in or whatever. They don't taste too crazy. And they're not super sugary or salty. I like.

[Danielle]

You don't like an extreme.

[Brooke]

I just want it to kind of taste like dirty water. Like just, you know, a little hinto.

[Danielle]

Hinto. That's nice.

[Brooke]

So, yeah, I just have been doing. I mean, I've done it like three times. I'm like, these are my favorite. But they, like, taste good is the thing. Like, we're not good, but not bad, I guess.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

No extra vanilla for the electronics.

[Danielle]

Yeah, that's so true. You don't care if it's not sweet. That's actually off brand for you. I feel like I just like water though, right?

[Brooke]

But I just. Just like water. So that's the thing. Like, for me, I'm like, if it's. If it's in place of water, I'd want it to, like, be similar to.

[Danielle]

Water, you know, like go down easy.

[Brooke]

Yeah. I like sweet coffee. That's the thing. Like, I feel like I'm not.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Like, if I get a smoothie, I'm okay with. Food's bitter. Like, it doesn't need to be the sweet. It depends on the category of drink for me, of course.

[Danielle]

You know, darling. Of course.

[Brooke]

That makes sense.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

If you find out anything else about, like, the fitness stuff, like from Ryan or whatever, please let me know because I'm really. I'm sure my brother and your. Yeah, you give us a full lesson. But, like, they're, like, so extreme. I need someone to tell it to me. That's, like, not gonna, like. Like, freak me out, you know?

[Danielle]

No, I know Ryan takes creatine or drinks. I don't know if it's a take. It's a drink.

[Brooke]

I think it's a pill. Or you could do it. Maybe I do it in a drink. I don't know.

[Danielle]

No idea. I feel like he uses creatine powder and so does Freddy. Yeah, you'll have to talk to Sal, too. We. We'll do some recon.

[Brooke]

What did you do to deal with your soreness when you're.

[Danielle]

The other day, I just cried about it. Not actually, but I was just like. I took a really hot shower. That felt nice.

[Brooke]

That's smart.

[Danielle]

The gun.

[Brooke]

I. I hit my whole body with the thera gun so much. What about.

[Danielle]

But when it's on my neck, I don't love to put the theragun there.

[Brooke]

I know you're not really supposed to do the heated neck wrap.

[Danielle]

I do. And I know you love yours.

[Brooke]

Oh, my gosh. One of my neck is sore. That helps a lot.

[Danielle]

You have, like, a rare beauty one.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Danielle]

Is that the one you use?

[Brooke]

Yeah, I had that one, but I blew it up in the microwave. Literally. Like, it got, like a burn patch on it. Like, it. Because it, like, I put it left it.

[Danielle]

Yeah, totally, like, charged.

[Brooke]

Yeah, no, I like, exploded. I was like, what was that loud bang? And then I was like, whoops.

[Danielle]

Whoops.

[Brooke]

Sorry.

[Danielle]

I know because. I know, because you always want to do it more time than they say you should, so you make extra hot. You know, it's like.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Do not exceed.

[Brooke]

Well, I think it was, like, already warm. And then I was like, oh, I'll put it back in while I shower or whatever it was. And.

[Danielle]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brooke]

Not the full time, but, you know, enough.

[Danielle]

10 minutes.

[Brooke]

No, not that. Oh, my God, my apartment building burns down. No. Yeah, I wanna. I need to start, like, getting my supplement routine in check. What did I do while I was sore? I blamed it on the shoes. I was like, oh, maybe it was the new shoes.

[Danielle]

Oh, it was the shoes. Maybe. Well, yeah, because you said it was your legs that were Sore.

[Brooke]

So maybe I. I was just looking for an excuse. I think, you know, when you're, like, really embarrassingly sore for something, you're like, I don't know. I like, must be the equipment. Like.

[Danielle]

Yeah, no, I think that workout we were just doing, we took the class, which was really cool. I've heard about this by Tarantumi. And it was so peaceful. Michelle Cody, like, it was.

[Brooke]

She's your mom. Not reincarnated, but that's what I know. No, she is.

[Danielle]

It was my mother on stage.

[Brooke]

You know how we met someone recently that looked like Hannah Brown? Like, it was kind of giving your mom. But like another, like, parallel.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Like, whoa.

[Brooke]

Like, oh, this person could be the same person. But, like, definitely.

[Danielle]

No. It was crazy. Like, we were doing, like. Like we were grunting and shaking. It was honestly, really. It's really good for your nervous system. So I want to give that class. The class another try. We went with Lululemon, actually. Shout out Lululemon. We love you. Yes. My favorite. My favorite is bootcut jeans from. I got some from Abercrombie because everyone talks about the mother ones and I haven't tried them, but I just. I know Abercrombie's got my back, so I got them in two different colors. These are the curve love medium rise boot cut jeans. I just obviously cut them, but I have them in black as well. And I really like them as like a going out jean, you know, like. Yes, because I. I still do love my baggy jeans. But we were talking earlier about how maybe, you know, it's nice to have a slimmer fit sometimes, so I really like it. This top is also from Abercrombie. I just try to make it its own little set, even though it's not actually. But yeah, Buka jeans are on the rise again, huh?

[Brooke]

I'm so here for it. I think it's a very flattering cut. We used to wear, like, extreme flare. Like, I feel like.

[Danielle]

Yeah, a little scarred from that. Yeah.

[Brooke]

But I feel like this is an appropriate flare.

[Danielle]

Yeah, it just kind of flares at the end. And I am wearing boots with it. It's perfect.

[Brooke]

I love it. Yeah, I love a boot cut jean.

[Danielle]

How's the rest of your week been going?

[Brooke]

It's been really good. I feel like I've been working out every day, which is just, you know, that's. I don't know why I make that my entire personality when I do it.

[Danielle]

You do make it your entire personality.

[Brooke]

No, I literally do. That's the thing. Like, people I Mean, so do I.

[Danielle]

Like post about it when I go, oh, 100.

[Brooke]

But no, Ben was like, people are telling me that you've been really consistent with your workouts.

[Danielle]

People have been telling me, yeah, like.

[Brooke]

His friends in med school are like, you know, Brooke is really crushing it right now. I'm like, I think it's just because I'm posting about that.

[Danielle]

Cuz it's so funny because to me, you are a consistent worker outer.

[Brooke]

Not to this degree though. Like, I feel like I'm like a couple times a week and now I'm like really trying to be like, while we're here, like, no excuses, like, you know, I mean, a little soreness, I'm gonna be okay.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

You know, especially because I started to feel I'm like, me goes to Pilates a few times. But like, I did start to see some definitions and now I'm like motivated to keep going. Yeah, I mean, like, I'm like, wow, I feel. Feel physically stronger.

[Danielle]

Yeah, that's really nice.

[Brooke]

So it's motivating. No, that's a, that's a really boring sentiment. But you know, I said I was gonna do it in the beginning of the year. I'm like, every, you did it. I'm like, I'm gonna do this. And you know, here I am. Maybe I'll run a marathon. I'm kidding. Maybe not.

[Danielle]

Same. I definitely feel like I've been working out on the weekends more. Well, me getting sick, like, wasn't helpful. Yeah, like, kind of put me out, but like, I was on like a really good routine. I've gotten back on it this week of like something every day. Just like, even if it's just walking on the treadmill, I feel like it's just like mentally doing it. Because then 21 days to make a habit. Right?

[Brooke]

And you do feel so good.

[Danielle]

You feel amazing.

[Brooke]

I will say, like just having in the calendar and doing it. Especially those days where you're like, I just really don't want to do this. For no particular reason. Like last night I decided I can't do evening workouts. I, you know, I used to be very big into them and I just create all the excuses throughout the day. Then.

[Danielle]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Then throughout the day I'm like, oh, like, you know, I really should.

[Danielle]

Like, my makeup's already done. Like, I'm going to dinner.

[Brooke]

Exactly. Like, oh, I could finish this work thing that I've been working on. Like I just. Just create excuses.

[Danielle]

Yeah, you gotta do it, you know.

[Brooke]

Or I'm like, oh, it would be Nice to have dinner with a friend. Like, I don't. I start.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Creating excuses.

[Danielle]

A girlfriend.

[Brooke]

A girlfriend. Girlfriend's coming over for dinner.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

No. So I feel like you have to figure out, like, the time of day that works for you and stuff, though. But we're off. Also lucky that we don't have to wake up at 5 and do it. Like, I literally couldn't do it. I wouldn't be able to do it if I had to wake up at 6:00am and, you know, no.

[Danielle]

Major props to you guys. Like, I can't not. It's not in my blood.

[Brooke]

No. But I've also been going to bed earlier and sleeping more. Yeah, it's also good too. I feel like when we're here, like, I'm trying to be in a routine because the days where we're not to be dramatic, but when we're on the road, like, I'm gonna say, like, we eat, like we sleep, like, we do. The hygiene is not the best. Like, it's just.

[Danielle]

Everything is just, like, it goes out the door.

[Brooke]

Right.

[Danielle]

Like, for some of our shows, we were able to, like, go work out in the morning, but there was no time with the Midwest because we woke up and traveled and then total show. So there was no time.

[Brooke]

Yeah. No, it's definitely, like. So I'm trying to, like, learn to take care of myself when I can and those. And I feel like that is true. Balance is, like, okay. Like, I have the time and the space and the capacity to do it now. We're very big on. My therapist and I were very big on capacity.

[Danielle]

Capacity.

[Brooke]

Like, what do you have the capacity for? And it's like, I love that, you know, being intuitive with that. You started therapy again?

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

How's it going?

[Danielle]

I'm really happy. I love it. I'm like, on the weekly grind.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Do you have a set Set time?

[Danielle]

No. And that's why I really like this girl. Because my last therapist, even though I literally miss her so much, obviously, still, like, she was amazing. She would. First of all, she'd have to book out, like, a few weeks in advance. And this girl is awesome because she'll be like, all right, like, on Sunday, what day do you want to do this week? I'm like, this is incredible. I can just. And she's actually only 45 minutes, which you said yours is too.

[Brooke]

Yeah, 45.

[Danielle]

Which I kind of love because my last one, she would do, like, an hour and a half. And sometimes towards the end of it, I was like, I'm like, so Ready to be done.

[Brooke]

I can't even believe it, but it was every other week.

[Danielle]

Yeah, that was. Yeah. Or like, it just depends on what I was going through.

[Brooke]

That is a long time. Like, that is even 45 minutes towards the end. I'm like, and thanks so much for coming out tonight. Yeah. That's a wrap.

[Danielle]

You ever find yourself, like, ending therapy, like a podcast? Like, so. Yeah, that's that. I hope you enjoyed my story.

[Brooke]

Well, like I said, I'm like. And I'll see you next. Next week. Thanks so much again.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Good night.

[Danielle]

Good night. Is your therapist, like, your age or, like, older?

[Brooke]

A little older, but similar age group. Like, I've had one that are, like, you know, grandparents and now.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Same as you.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I'm liking it. It's fun. It's. It's a different vibe. Like, it definitely feels more. She was like, you know, some weeks, if you want to just, like, gossip, we can gossip. And then other weeks, if you're like, let's get deep, let's get deep. I'm like, wow, that's so fun.

[Brooke]

That's where I'm at too. And it's really nice to, like, have a therapist that it's not like, like, did you do your. And I. I had ones where it's like, what is that? Like, cbt.

[Danielle]

And like, you're doing, like, cognitive.

[Brooke]

The work, I feel like. And really understanding. Like, why did that childhood experience make you like this? But sometimes I just want to, like, be like, look, I'm going through this thing immediately and I need help now.

[Danielle]

Like, you know, how often do you go?

[Brooke]

I would say weekly, but when I travel, it's maybe every other week. It's pretty. It flexes.

[Danielle]

Is that on a set day?

[Brooke]

No, same flexes.

[Danielle]

I love that.

[Brooke]

And it's nice.

[Danielle]

You can kind of go with your.

[Brooke]

With your life. Yeah. Yeah, it's nice. The beginning, I feel like, of getting a new therapist is always a little like, you're like, I gotta introduce the characters and, like, you know, tell you why I am the way I am. And, like, you know.

[Danielle]

Yeah. They make it easy, though. Totally nice. Highly suggest therapy if you're considering back to therapy.

[Brooke]

It's a brave thing.

[Danielle]

Yeah, it is. It is a brave thing to do. I did want to quickly circle back on Wicked because we talked about it.

[Brooke]

Totally. No, I was going to ask you about what you've been up to because clearly I feel like you. Danielle stays booked and busy. I feel like you have, like, things every night of the week.

[Danielle]

This week yeah, that was not ideal though, because we were coming off of a. Yeah, a weekend. But tonight I get to rest. I'm so excited. But no, I. So a few. My friends, Delaney and Mason, they were like, we want to go see Wicked with MK in it before mk. Mary Space Kate on Instagram and Tick Tock. She's amazing. She was on my AM Uncovered episode. Obsessed with her. She said she wants to come on Gals on the Go.

[Brooke]

She should. The theater gals would die.

[Danielle]

She was like, I'm about to have a whole lot of time because my contract's almost up. I would love to be on the podcast. And I was like, oh, my God. Like, I've seen she's been doing some pods.

[Brooke]

Oh, I actually, I didn't. Wow, that's great.

[Danielle]

So I replied. I was like, we gotta get you on. She was like, oh, my God, I'd love to. So anyways, this is her last week as we're recording. This was her last week as Elphaba. Her contract was up. No bad blood or anything. And like, she was just saying, like, it's so hard on your body. Like, she was like, I don't even know. It's just like, a lot. And so Delaney and Macy wanted to go, and I was like, oh, I'll get tickets. Delaney had some app to see, like, what days were cheapest. Cause I was like, last time I went, it was really expensive.

[Brooke]

Remember, you got to put in the newsletter. I'm curious. I'll ask her because that is good info.

[Danielle]

It was so nice. Like, she would. It's not even. You would get alerts you just see on the calendar. Like, what day?

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's great.

[Danielle]

It was so nice. So, yes, we'll put that in the newsletter. And she was like, this day looks good. And so I was like, let me just tell Mary Kate that we're going. So I DM'd her. I was like, hey, we're coming to the show. She was like, oh, my gosh, you guys have to come backstage and say hi after. So I was freaking out. And obviously they were so excited because they've both been fans of her forever. And I was just excited to see backstage. It was so cool. After the show, we, like, went to the stage door and everyone's like, you know, outside waiting for the stage door. And I go up to the guy with the clipboard and he's like, who are you here for? And I was like, mk. And everyone's like, oh, my God, she's.

[Brooke]

Going to see MK backstage right now. Wow.

[Danielle]

I was like, I wish I could.

[Brooke]

Bring you all with me.

[Danielle]

But she actually. I don't know. We should talk to her about this. If she's down, she doesn't do stage dooring.

[Brooke]

I saw that she posted that, actually. I feel like it's like, you want to make sure everybody has a good experience, and it's like.

[Danielle]

It's kind of, like, dead.

[Brooke]

It's like a meet and greet.

[Danielle]

It is.

[Brooke]

And you don't want someone to leave and be like, darn, like, I didn't even get to say hi. Like. Or like, it was really quick. She didn't sign my thing. Like, yeah, I kind of see that being a thing, definitely.

[Danielle]

And like, she, you know, we obviously got to see her and talk to her, and she was so bubbly and so awesome. Like, I was actually surprised. She had so much energy, but at the same time, she was like. You could tell. She was just, like, dead. Like, yeah. Us after the live shows were like, hey, you know, we don't have as much left to give.

[Brooke]

Totally. Versus, like, you know, on a random Tuesday. We're better, we're cleaner.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Like, I. I can give more. Unless we're doing meet and greets, then we obviously, we got this.

[Brooke]

Totally.

[Danielle]

But it was really so cool. Her dresser gave us, like, a. Like, while she was de greenifying, she gave us a tour of backstage. It was so cool to see everything. Like, they let us touch and take pictures with anything.

[Brooke]

So cool.

[Danielle]

I was like, for sure we can't touch. The only thing that was super high up was Glinda's wand. And so we just kind of, like, looked at it, but we touched the broom.

[Brooke]

Oh, you touched everything. You were a toucher.

[Danielle]

I'm so.

[Brooke]

I was.

[Danielle]

I was like, oh, my God, let me just touch it.

[Brooke]

Like, just to feel the texture. Like. Or to say you touched.

[Danielle]

Just to say I touched it. I didn't even. I don't even remember what they felt like. They had the green baby that they pull out. If you saw my tick tock. They put it under a blanket because it's like, can be scary looking backstage.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, I see that.

[Danielle]

Which I could see. And they show us talk about stairs in between, like, a scene. She has, like, two minutes to get down and around these such super narrow and steep stairs. And it's so crazy. And the dresser was saying, like, she waits at the bottom of the stairs for MK with lozenges and water so she can, like, quickly, like, I guess, like, wet her whistle. I don't even know. And, like, Change really quick and then go on stage for her next number. It's holy. I just like love that. You would have like loved it like just being backstage.

[Brooke]

Movie magic, but Broadway magic. Yeah.

[Danielle]

Yes. And this stage, I forgot what they call it, but it's like at an angle. A lot of theaters now, they don't do this, but this is like an older theater and it's at an angle and it like hurts to stand on the stage. And I'm like, this is so much on their body. Like it's. I don't know how to explain it.

[Brooke]

I see what you. I. I see what you mean.

[Danielle]

Like imagine like for depth, perspective, for depth so the audience can see better. But it was just so cool and it made me like obviously miss theater and just like the rush of backstage and like everyone has their job. And you know, she was talking like the dresser's talking about how there's unions. So like she's. Which we know all about.

[Brooke]

Know about the unions? Yes.

[Danielle]

Like if you are not in the dressing union, you cannot touch the props. And it made me appreciate because we've had experiences with people like, you know, they're like, no, if you want to use the steamer, like you have to use our dresser. You know, stuff like that. Which I think is so interesting.

[Brooke]

The unions.

[Danielle]

The unions, yeah. There's like so much with it, which as it should be. It was just like so interesting. Who doesn't love the good things in life?

[Brooke]

I'm Stassi Schroeder. And honestly, you never know who or what you might hear on my podcast Stassi because, well, I'm a little cray cray.

[Danielle]

One of the ways you know you.

[Brooke]

Have hashtag grown is when you come to the realization that Carrie Bradshaw is kind of the worst person. I've had to explain to her that.

[Danielle]

The fireplace grows so that Santa can fit in it. Now she's gonna be like, well, there is no fireplace and we're in this.

[Brooke]

Hotel and I'm gonna have to explain her.

[Danielle]

I don't know. He gets a hotel room key. Like all these things that you have.

[Brooke]

To come up with. It's just kind of crazy. Should I bring a whistle to wherever I go? Do you think that that would be the thing to break the ice? Whistle. Listen up. Every single one of us here is feeling some level of social anxiety. So let's just get on with it, okay? Take a breath, relax. So please do me a fave listen, follow rate, and review my podcast Stassi.

[Danielle]

Wherever you get your podcasts. So that is why I went and saw Wicked one more time. Because I wanted to see MK and support her on her last week.

[Brooke]

That's so nice.

[Danielle]

And we got a little treat after, which was.

[Brooke]

No, that is a delight.

[Danielle]

That is delight.

[Brooke]

Fabulous. Do you feel like you have the show memorized at this point?

[Danielle]

1. No, totally. And I'm like. So I've got it down. Like, I really know a lot of the songs now.

[Brooke]

They're like, we need a. A standard, someone to get in there. It's like how you were with the Super Bowl. Like, you know, you're ready to get in. Put me in.

[Danielle]

Put me in. Met some of our listeners at the show, which was really fun. So many, like, literally so many people were there for mk. Like the girl in front of us sitting. I saw her like stalking MK's Instagram before the show started.

[Brooke]

Really?

[Danielle]

Like, I'm going to be after. No big deal.

[Brooke]

Oh my God, you're in there with the. No, she definitely is like huge.

[Danielle]

Like, she's awesome.

[Brooke]

Really, really love her.

[Danielle]

She just like opens. Like, she really pulls back the curtain. I feel like it's awesome about that, that I just wanted to bring that up cuz I brought up Wicked earlier and I just wanted to know that.

[Brooke]

Is the full connection. And you Know the.

[Danielle]

We went to Shannon's show.

[Brooke]

We did. Wow. We've been seeing shows this week.

[Danielle]

Yeah, her live show.

[Brooke]

We saw her. It was true comedy. It was a stand up comedy. And it was amazing. I mean, she just absolutely crushed it. She's an amazing storyteller.

[Danielle]

Yes.

[Brooke]

She really, like, puts you there and she's just so funny. And she. She has such, like, a natural charisma. Like, I don't know how to describe it. She's amazing. We went on her podcast also that's coming out.

[Danielle]

We did. Yes.

[Brooke]

Next week maybe.

[Danielle]

Yeah, but when you guys are listening, it'll be next week. Next Tuesday, I think so. And it's. It's funny.

[Brooke]

I thought it was funny.

[Danielle]

Little Tea was filled.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

I mean, she does something. I confess something to Shannon that I've been thinking about for, like, two years, that I embarrassed myself with her. So you can go listen. Brooke and her talked about, like, their first time meeting. It's a. It's a good episode. I think you guys will enjoy it.

[Brooke]

She's just like, you just want to, like, spill your whole life to her.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

One of those people.

[Danielle]

She makes me want to escargot, you know?

[Brooke]

Yeah. She makes you want to do crazy things.

[Danielle]

Crazy things that I normally wouldn't do.

[Brooke]

Yeah, definitely. You love that about her.

[Danielle]

So that's that and. Yeah, that's really.

[Brooke]

Oh, I did my first, like, street style interview.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

[Brooke]

Yes. Not street style, like, outfits. Like, street on, like, man on the street.

[Danielle]

Yes. On the street.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Danielle]

Brooklyn.

[Brooke]

Yes. So you guys see these, like, you know, the people in, like, Washington Square park, they're like, you know, at the mic or even like the ones on Tick Tock that are like, hey, what do you do for a living?

[Danielle]

Yeah, we've.

[Brooke]

We were caught one time by one. It was like, gave the worst answers, though. That was horrible. I hated it.

[Danielle]

Well, we were so. It was so deep. We weren't in a deep mood.

[Brooke]

It was so introspective. I was like, I. I just. Just. You got to give me some time. I need a shower.

[Danielle]

We were, like, taking photos in Soho. Like, we weren't in mode of, like, deep talking in podcast mode.

[Brooke]

No. And when we went back to back, like, we were like. Our stories were like, the same. So it was like. It just wasn't working. Anyways, I was asked by Brand to do, like, instead of just doing, like, a regular ad, they were like, hey, can you do, like, a man on the street style ad? I was like, I've literally always Wanted to do one, which I totally could have done already. I have free will. Like, But I was like, yeah, you're giving me the excuse.

[Danielle]

I have to.

[Brooke]

Yeah. And I was like, let me do this in Brooklyn, because I thought it would be brilliant. I was like, no one really does these in Brooklyn. No, no one does them in Brooklyn. And it definitely was, you know, me on the street with a camera and a small crew and looking it. I know how it is when people ask you to send their petitions and you're like, no, no. Like, now I get it. Because, you know, there are people that we approach. We're like, oh. Like. And they're like, you know, pretending that they don't hear you or that they have their headphones. I get it. It's awkward, you know, but. And it is a whole thing. Like, you truly do have to be brave to say yes to, like, hey, would you be my video and, like, try this thing?

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

And, like, we'll record your reaction. Like, you do have to be both.

[Danielle]

The trust. They have to trust you, too. Like, totally. You're not poisoning them.

[Brooke]

Oh, totally. No, it was. It was a whole.

[Danielle]

I was at home.

[Brooke]

This is a sealed container. Like, I was trying to.

[Danielle]

Like, was it. So it was sealed. Whatever it was, I can't wait to see it when it goes live.

[Brooke]

I was like, I want you to, like, know that it's not because it's, like, scary. Like, it is, like, scary blind taste test down the streets of New York. Brooklyn. Yeah. Also, I don't know. Like, we're, like, on camera people. So, like, yeah, we like to be on camera, but for most people in the world, I don't know if they're, like, willing to, like, hey, will you try this and be my tik tok? Like, I feel like no.

[Danielle]

Like, do they have to sign anything?

[Brooke]

Yeah, no, I had. I had waivers, and we had waivers in one hand. We had the camera person, the me.

[Danielle]

That's cool. That probably made them feel more like, oh, this is legit, maybe.

[Brooke]

I think so. Yes. To some people. And then some people are like, what am I signing? Which.

[Danielle]

Oh, yeah, fair. Where's my lawyer?

[Brooke]

Yeah. They're like, I don't know if I can sign this, Mike. Totally understand. Literally, no. Like, we would.

[Danielle]

Don't worry.

[Brooke]

We already filmed it. And then they were like, I don't know if I could sign this. And I was like, no worries, no worries. I'm not gonna, like, tell you to. But, like, I signed it, so I don't.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I signed it. Is it just to basically say, like, they'll be in your video.

[Brooke]

Yeah. So that they are. It's like, oh, your image. And like. Like, in the video, I guess people.

[Danielle]

Love, like, that, like, their friends will tag them and be like, oh, yeah, that's my phone.

[Brooke]

Yeah. So next time you see someone that's, like, on the street, I. I give them more credit. And, like, it does seem like they're, like. Like bothering people, maybe. And, like, sometimes it is, but, like, you know, they're just doing their job.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

It's fun when people are into it. It's so fun.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

You get some people that are just so genuinely, like, nice and just exude such good energy. I'm like, I literally would have never talked to you had it not been for this, you know?

[Danielle]

True. And then you get to make a connection with someone. Totally. Was a hugging special. Yeah. You show me a still from the video. Brook's just not a hugger. She's hugging random men.

[Brooke]

Like, you'll have to go see. I mean, some people, they just have that energy about them, you know, and you're just like, I. Yeah, like, it feels. I mean, I didn't. I don't initiate the hug.

[Danielle]

No.

[Brooke]

You know, but I will accept if it's right, you know, Accept. No. There. It was great.

[Danielle]

I'm proud of you. That's really awesome.

[Brooke]

That's really like putting yourself out there, you know?

[Danielle]

That is. I only have one small experience with that, and it was when Ryan was really doing his egg flipping one week, because he would do, like, every Friday. It was like a different egg flip. And one Friday, his friends were like, you should go to watch Washington Square park and ask someone else to flip your egg. So we went to Washington Square park with the pan. With the pan and the egg. And I never had the ik more. Poor guy. He even had the ick of himself. And he would just be like, hey, you want to flip this egg? I'll give you $10.

[Brooke]

I was offering him a cash reward. Yeah. Because it's like, why would someone want.

[Danielle]

To flip it egg? Like, it was just so.

[Brooke]

You know, people, once they saw. Some people, once they saw the Cameron commotion, they were interested. There was like, children, and they were like, I want to be. And I was like, you have to be 18 kids. Like, oh. And then some people were randomly shout out. They're like, the news is here. I was like, I would totally be that kid. Like, I want to be on the news.

[Danielle]

Like, I'd be more inclined. Like, when those people try to talk to you on the street. If they have a camera, I'd be more inclined.

[Brooke]

Cuz you're like, it's more legitimate versus like, let's ride.

[Danielle]

Like.

[Brooke]

Like you're trying to like, get something like.

[Danielle]

Yeah. I don't know. I think it's fun. But that's just us. We like attention and we're on camera all the time.

[Brooke]

Totally, totally. Like if someone came up to me. Washington Square Park, 100%. I get it.

[Danielle]

I'll try your bagel.

[Brooke]

Like, they're just like, why do I need to do this?

[Danielle]

Yeah. They don't need to. Not at all. I'm so proud of you. I cannot wait for this video to drop.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Bold. The page. I know. We're really like being so crazy this year. We're just trying all sorts of new things and bothering people on the street.

[Danielle]

It's fun to bother people on the street sometimes I suggest.

[Brooke]
