3. Navigating Bars, Boundaries & Not Sending ‘The Wrong Message’ ([13:53]–[16:27])

• The hosts debate how to politely interact with men at bars when you’re not interested (esp. if you have a partner) – how to avoid being rude but also not inadvertently flirt:

  • “You don’t want to be like, ‘I have a boyfriend!’ because they could just be chatting... I forget people don’t always have malicious motives.” —Brooke (14:32)
  • Danielle: “It’s good to remember sometimes people at the bar are just looking to make friends.”

• Conversing with strangers on planes: Should you chat? The hosts reflect on generational discomfort with striking up random conversations and “oversharing your life story to a stranger at a bar last night.” (60:51)

• The awkwardness of telling someone they smell: If a friend or family member has chronic odor, how do you broach it? General consensus: family = tell, friends = tough, acquaintances = super tricky.

  • “If I smelled, I would want you to tell me… see something, say something, smell something, say something.” —Brooke (65:27)

---

8. Venues: The Rebooted Brooklyn Mirage Experience ([53:02]–[56:51])

Takeaways for Listeners

• It’s okay (and normal) to occasionally feel awkward, anxious, or out-of-place in social situations.
• There’s no “right” way to have fun, plan a wedding, or interact at bars—everyone’s boundaries and comfort levels are valid.
• Packing for big trips? Always leave space for shopping, and don’t be afraid to double up suitcases.
• Don’t sweat age “milestones”—you can be a “gal on the go” at any stage!
• If you ever smell, you’d want your real friends to let you know. “If you see something, say something!”

And we were like, what do we do?

[A]

It's offensive.

[B]

We're annoyed. They were visibly annoyed.

[A]

This is kind of disgusting.

[B]

What are you talking about?

[A]

In the Midwest, man.

[B]

And this was a dilemma. Someone in my life.

[A]

Hey, guys, what's up? Welcome back to Gals on the Go podcast.

[B]

Yeah, you do.

[A]

Having fun. But I just was like, you know, it was just the perfect weather. Weekend vibes were hitting right? And I was like, it's gonna be a good summer. Like, it was like one of Those

[B]

moments we were engaged too.

[A]

Yeah. Like, vibes are up.

[B]

Like, vibes are up if you gu. Know what I'm talking about. Brooke posted a tik tok. Basically being like, I'm having fun this summer, and that's that.

[A]

Yeah. Okay, then I want to address the fact that I said I'm 29. I said in the video, I said I'm 29. I've had some fun summers in my life. Like my early 20s. And I was reflecting back to, like, you know, when we went to the Hamptons. How old was I? Like, that first summer? 24 or 25, I think. 24? No, 25.

[B]

25. Probably 26.

[A]

And then we didn't do 27. 20.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, that would make sense. I was just, like, reflecting back and I was like, wow, I've had some, like, really fun summers of my life. Because then before that, I feel like was really fun and people are like, you're acting like 29 is, like, so old. Like, you know, really, like, it's. I'm 40 and I'm still having fun, babe. And like, to that I just want to clarify, like, your definition of fun and mine are a little different. Like, yeah, when I think of, like, having a fun summer, I'm. I'm going hard. Like, I'm in the DJ's room at

[B]

2:00am, like, yeah, she's so bad.

[A]

Like, that type of, like, random. Yeah.

[B]

You know, like, being rogue.

[A]

Yes. Like, maybe Sigs. Like, hey, I had a skinny Sig this weekend. That was crazy. Crazy. Honestly, like, after two hits, I was like, this is kind of disgusting. Like, I. I do enjoy. Like, I can get down at the cigarette. No. And I felt, like, performative smoking it. Like, I did feel. I was like, I feel corny, and I feel corny. Performative. Someone's like you right now. I don't look chic. I don't look sexy.

[B]

I'm sure you look really sexy.

[A]

No, no, but I. That's my point is that, like, you know, it's not like, oh, I party like. Like, I'm talking about, you know, I've been partying. But this is like, particularly. Yeah, you know what?

[B]

I. So you were out East?

[A]

Yeah, I was out East. It was like a brand trip weekend that you were invited to. You couldn't make it because you were. Well, we'll get into that.

[B]

You were away. I was out Midwest.

[A]

Danielle in the Midwest, man. She's out there.

[B]

I just. Something about me and people I date. We have Midwest family reunions. Not just. It's so fun. You're so. You text me, you're like, we were talking about how literally no one else has two family reunions in a year.

[A]

Two family reunions in the same, like, part of the country that is not where you currently reside.

[B]

True. Yeah. It's really crazy telling everyone again.

[A]

I was like, oh, Danielle's at a family reunion. They were like, oh, yeah. Her annual family reunion. I was like, no, no, actually, believe it or not, it's another one.

[B]

It's a different one. That one's coming.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. That is coming up soon.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Wow. You're getting pulled to the Midwest. So Hannah Montana.

[B]

Yeah. Every time I go out there, like, I feel like I'm the farm, you know? Like, but I want to go or what? Yeah. I want to keep being Hannah.

[A]

And. And then the wig gets, like, snatched away.

[B]

Right?

[A]

Like, isn't that. Oh, she takes it off in the revolving door.

[B]

So good. But anyways, you went to the Hamptons. That's so.

[A]

Yeah, I did go to Hamptons. It was so fun. The thing is, like, Surf Lodge or any of these, like, the situations where it's like, you get the table, whatever. Like, it's just so much better when, like, a brand coordinates it for you. I will just say that.

[B]

Never forget.

[A]

No, no, no, no. And I made a promise to myself, and I've kept it.

[B]

Yeah, you have.

[A]

I'm not spending.

[B]

No.

[A]

A dime of my own money.

[B]

No.

[A]

I will buy my own drinks. You know, like. Okay, let me be clear. But I'm not spending money.

[B]

Uber.

[A]

Yeah, of course. Don't get an Uber Black, though.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Don't you dare. I will, but I'm not prepared to, like, buy a table unless it's, like, a really special occasion, like, I guess a meal or something. But just if we're going out, I'm not gonna be like, yo, let's get a table, like, on my own dime, just simply because I can't justify it, especially after the negative experience we had. No, but when someone else takes care of the bill. Oh, it is amazing. Oh, I love it. It was two days in a row of Surf Lodge.

[B]

And you stayed at Surf Lodge. How was that?

[A]

Yeah, wouldn't recommend that. People didn't even. Like, a lot of people don't even know that it's a hotel. Yeah, most people just know it for. It actually is a restaurant as well. Wouldn't really recommend it for that either.

[B]

Yeah, no, it's literally just the party. Because when you were, like, sleeping, were you, like, the party was just happening outside? Yeah.

[A]

I wasn't the sound that was an issue. It was just like you kind of wake up and you're like, oh, I was here last night. Like it's kind of giving us the ball. Cleaning up.

[B]

Oh, it's spooky.

[A]

Yeah. That energy. Like they were like, we serve breakfast. Like there's like a mini. They've like pastries and like coffee. But like it's not your coffee. It's literally in the bar. Like in.

[B]

Oh no, no. Oh.

[A]

And then they're like, you can check in. They're like, go check in. In the lobby. Katie and I are looking like, where's the lobby? Like the lobby. It's on the dance floor inside. Like literally on the side the dance fl. Like, oh, I, I guess this is where we get our keys. Like it's one of those places that it's you. You know, I could see like being maybe drunk and being like, oh, I'm gonna crash here. Like I'll buy a room.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

But you know, I wouldn't recommend staying there.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It was a really, really fun trip though. Let me be clear. But the trip was because Hunter is the official. Yeah. Make it a true sponsor of Surf Lodge.

[B]

That's. I'm really happy. So that makes sense why you would stay at Surf Lodge.

[A]

Yeah. And I, I, they told me that like the brand people. I was like, oh, o. I just didn't think anything of it. Cuz I'm like, they're not wearing boots like right now. Like you think of Hunter. Like I think of Hunter boots.

[B]

Like right. Rain boots. Boots. Well, we were there in the rain.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Never forget.

[A]

Oh yeah.

[B]

Could have used Hunters.

[A]

Well, which makes sense, I guess that you'd have a pair of boots on hand. But like what do you, what do you know they wear all day? Like the bottle girls and stuff.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I noticed and then I looked, one of them was like, oh yeah, Hunter. Like we're wearing all Hunters this year. And I look down at her feet. She's wearing Hunter sneakers I didn't even know that they made. She's wearing little sneakers. She's like, I'm so thankful that it's sneakers this year.

[B]

Love a collab. Gotta love a. Oh. Cause last year was it like heels?

[A]

I'm sure like a Bob dawn sponsored it last year. Yeah. No, cuz the outfits I know are like, they partner with like a designer.

[B]

I didn't know that.

[A]

Yeah. At least last year they did. I remember someone told me who it was and I remember being like, oh, that's so smart.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Yeah. Why can't I think of it right now that I feel like I have heard this, like, really, like, trendy, cool places.

[B]

Really cool.

[A]

The uniforms are, who knows? Called Gaia, like, not actually, but, like.

[B]

Oh, my God. No, I know. Surf Lodge, actually, like, since we've gone now with brands and stuff. Like, it is fun.

[A]

Oh, it's so fun, like, because it's

[B]

just like, you're outside, it's beautiful on the wall, everyone's beautiful.

[A]

I mean, that's the other thing. That's the other thing. I mean, you look around and I'm also playing the age game with myself. I'm like, am I not that I think 29, once again is too old to be there? Like, I do. Not at all, actually. I feel like that's probably the average age, if I had to guess. Yeah. Like, some people are like, it's so expensive.

[B]

Totally.

[A]

I mean, there's definitely, like, you know, like, I wouldn't say, like, my parents age per se. Not all of them, but, like, there's definitely people who are like, 45 to 50 that, like, you know, take a night off and, like, go there. Which I think I will be doing that, like, I could see myself.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

And Surf Lodge is the place to do it because the night ends at, like, 8:00'. Clock. It's perfect.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's literally perfect. You watch the sun. It's gorgeous. It's like. Oh, it really is, like, so scenic. It is like, the weather was perfect. But I had an experience because, you know, you go to these things with influencers. We have a table of influence influencers. It really was such a good group. I have to say, this was the best brand trip group I've been on.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Within a minute.

[B]

No Cap.

[A]

No. Because everybody just like, it was like a small, small group, got along cool. Just like normal girls, you know, like, you talk to people and you're just like, thank God you're normal.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Like, no, they were, like, tagging me. The reason how I can flag that people are, like, cool down to earth people is when they're like, hey, like, let's take a picture or get on my TikTok without even knowing who I am.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then they tag me and I click on the page. I'm like, okay, you have 1.5 million followers. Like, you know, I'm like, you're. Thank you for supporting small creators like me, you know? No, but you know what I mean, like, yeah, yeah, I know that you're

[B]

genuinely, like, you're not like, oh, well, she only has this many.

[A]

Yeah. Like identifying.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

In your TikTok. Like, if she wanted to get the big guns, like, she wouldn't.

[B]

There's nothing worse than when people, like, decide, okay, there's just me, five of us, we're making the TikTok, and everyone else is not in it. Like, that's the worst feeling ever.

[A]

Yeah, no, no, it was very, like, cool, cool group inclusive. But, I mean, everybody on the trip was beautiful. There were two sisters that were particularly so, so beautiful. They're just like the type of people that you meet them and you're. I actually didn't even know that they were sisters because one's a blonde, one's a brunette, and in my head, that doesn't clock as sisters.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Obviously, that's.

[B]

That can happen. That can't happen.

[A]

Yeah. Just two beautiful, beautiful girls. Addie is the older sister, and then AJ is her younger sister. I would love it. Cute.

[B]

Addy and aj.

[A]

So cute. And I've. Maybe I've had this happen before, but, like, you know, you're with particularly beautiful people when you get, like, the sub beautiful people treatment.

[B]

Like, oh, my God, it's the best.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Through friends. Yeah. It's like, oh, come to the front of the line or come to our table. Here we have rose for you. Like, it's amazing.

[A]

Exactly, exactly. Like, it's just, you know, Brandon privilege. Just random things, like, good secondhand, pretty much.

[B]

I think you're beautiful. I know what you mean. When you're with those people that have that aura.

[A]

That's what Katie and I were saying, actually. Katie and I were like, look, look, you're beautiful. Yes.

[B]

Like, please let me be clear.

[A]

But, like, being with those girls, it's another level. Like, it's an aura. It is an aura, too.

[B]

It's like, I don't got it. Like, we're like, oh, let's go. I don't want to cut. Like, you know, we're very, like, follow the rules in that way settings.

[A]

They're just. Look, some people are just more beautiful.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Some people are on the next. Next level. Like, they're models, I think. You know, like, that's as they should be.

[B]

As they should be.

[A]

As they should be. And I was dancing, like, on the. I got on the elevated surface. Of course.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And a guy comes up to me, and I was like, oh, my taken woman. Like, it's flattering. And he was like, hey, what's your name? Where you're from? And I was like, being short because I was like, I'm not even gonna, like, entertain that.

[B]

No, of course.

[A]

But then at one point. Not even at one point, he was literally just paying his respects to me. Like, he was just like, your name where you're from. And then he was like, so your friend over there in the white. Could you introduce me to her? Is she single?

[B]

Like, like, I'm spoken for.

[A]

But I was like, look, no, I didn't even have to say.

[B]

But you were prepping for it in

[A]

case I just was being short. Like, I was like, I don't even want to talk. Like, you know, it was all.

[B]

You're like, hi.

[A]

Like, you know. Yeah, look, I'm. Imagine if I opened the conversation. Like, look, I'm flattered.

[B]

Yeah,

[A]

look, I'm trying to talk to her. Yeah.

[B]

[B]

like, so what'd you do?

[A]

People that. I was like, actually, she is spoken for. Oh, yeah. No, she is your buddy. Yeah. And just people being approached. Yeah, I was with Mubi Maddie.

[B]

I just followed her after this weekend. She seems so fun.

[A]

Oh, my God, she's so fun. Like, yeah.

[B]

How old is she? Is she younger?

[A]

Yeah, she's a Sal's age. Like, you know. Yeah, No, I was like that. Like, not Arrow. Like, they're five years younger, but, you

[B]

know, that post grad. Like, five years. And that's so fun.

[A]

And she's like a barstool. J. I don't really, like, I need to confirm this podcast, I think, with Barswell.

[B]

I think so. I think so.

[A]

Yeah. And she got stopped every two seconds.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Every two seconds, people are coming up to her being like, oh, my gosh. Yeah. And guys, too. That's how I know. And guys, like, not.

[B]

That's barstool.

[A]

Maybe flirting. I couldn't really tell. But, like, I'm sure that they were. But like, you know, more so, like, hey, I don't date Portnoy.

[B]

Like, oh, yeah.

[A]

And I just have never been with someone that like it.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Coming up to you.

[B]

Like, yeah, you're, like, starting to get protected. Like, hey, like, strange man approaching the table. What do you used to say?

[A]

Yes, I said that. Strange man imposing on the table.

[B]

Imposing. Not approaching. Imposing.

[A]

Because I hate that. Yeah, Yeah, I normally do hate that. Like, I really do. That's why, like, I don't. And you know, it's all us girls. Like, I don't need to, you know, talk to men.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't no one was, like, on the prowl either. Like, it wasn't like, that kind of vibe. Like, it was like, everyone was just very, like, dancy.

[B]

Yeah. This is, like, a good combo to have. And I don't know the answer because I get really, really awkward when, like, the few times if, like, a guy tries to talk to me. This happened to me and my friend the other day. We both have boyfriends, and they were trying to talk to us at the bar and we were like, what do we do? Like, we were kind of just being, like, short. But neither of us have rings on, obviously. But I don't want to be because I always want to promote. Like, it's good that you're going up to people in person.

[A]

Brave.

[B]

Yeah. So we just kept it very. We're talking about, like, where we went to school and stuff, and then we just kind of, like, walked away. But it's like, what do you do?

[A]

Because you don't want to be like,

[B]

I have a boyfriend. Because they could just be.

[A]

I know. No, literally, I'm so glad I didn't say exactly.

[B]

Like, maybe they were just chatting, you

[A]

know, And I. I forget that people don't have, like, malicious motives.

[B]

Like, yeah, there are good people in this world.

[A]

No, and there are people who genuinely, like, are looking for friends. Like, oh, don't you bring out the DJs? And I was like, I don't want to send the wrong message there. I come to find out, like, they all are in relationships too. Like, you know what I mean? And they just genuinely, like, look, they were in America looking for friends. Like, they're from Europe. Like, you know what I mean?

[B]

Send the wrong message.

[A]

We were not looking for it.

[B]

You're, like, showing her, right?

[A]

Yeah. I was like, my fiance and I really like this music.

[B]

Like, yeah, me and my fiance.

[A]

No, no. No one cares. I think that there's a fine line. I think that, like, you can be kind and respectful and see, like, if they're just, like, nice people.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Vibing with them and, you know, maybe it's a person you set up with your best friend later. Like, you never.

[B]

Oh, that could be like, oh, you would be really great with my best friend. Ooh. Yeah, that's a good pivot. And it's kind because then it's like, oh, my God, I'm just wasting their time. Like, they are.

[A]

But again, maybe you're not, though. Some people are just genuinely, like, they go to the bar and they want to make friends.

[B]

I know.

[A]

Seriously, I'm not like, that. But I understand, like, unless I'm really drunk. If I'm really. Like, if you catch me when I'm really drunk, I'm. Look, I will make a friend.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Put your number on my phone. Be my friend.

[B]

Were we? Oh, I think it was Cabo at Bagatelle. I'll never forget you had the scarf around you.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. That was a time when I was making friends. Yeah, you're definitely making friends.

[B]

Yeah. Like, yikes, you're drunk.

[A]

And you were like, yeah, I'm just way more. Hey, you got that aura. You. Your aura goes up when you're drunk.

[B]

Your aura goes.

[A]

But I'm looking back at videos. Like, Margot was taking videos of me dancing. I was like, send me those videos. I only could cut, like, three seconds of you. So I was like, wow. I thought that I literally was, like, vibing. I was like, I know the beat. Like, yeah. And no, it's a scary thing to see.

[B]

The next day.

[A]

You're like, oh, good. So maybe that's. That's another thing that I'm working on is not being so, like, such a bitch. I mean, that's.

[B]

You're not a bitch, or. What are you talking about?

[A]

And I could be really rude and to just strangers in general, like, on the street or something. Like, if someone comes up to me is like, excuse me. Not like a listener, like a man. I'm saying, like, you know, and I just think. I just immediately think they want something. They are bothering me. They're going to be creepy.

[B]

They are bothering me.

[A]

They're bothering, like. So then I'm just short. But I mean, it's like, people are like. There are people who just are good people, like, nice, you know?

[B]

No, it's true.

[A]

New York has made me tough.

[B]

Yeah, New York will soften you up a little bit.

[A]

Yeah, maybe we'll work on that. So speaking of soft. The Midwest, other people. Soft and approachable. Does everyone say hi in this town? It was just another small town.

[B]

Yeah. We were on Geneva Lake. Not to be confused with Lake Geneva. There was also a Lake Como there. And I was like, I should make my location Lake Como.

[A]

I would love it that.

[B]

I think everyone's so nice. Literally met podcast listeners, which was crazy. Whoa. I know. So, hey, Wisconsin. No. Such a fun, wholesome weekend. Like, really. Oh, I found my hobby.

[A]

You guys know I love a sweet treat at night. Like, that is truly something that I look forward to. Like, I have my. My dinner, and I'm like, yeah, it's sweet treat time. Rubbing My hands. You turned it. And one of my favorite nightly sweet treats is tru FRU I, the chocolate covered strawberries. Like, oh, my God. Just get. Get it. Put them in a little bowl and like I said, and I watch my programs like Love Island. Yeah. Like, I'm. I'm up. But I have to tell you guys, True Fruit launched a Greek yogurt product. I'm not normally, like, a huge Greek yogurt gal, but the flavor combos on it, like, they're hitting, and I feel like I'm, like, doing something good. Like, I'm like, it's Greek yogurt and fruit. Are you kidding? 100. No.

[B]

Ryan is, like, not a sweets guy. And every time I look over at the freezer, he's, like, eating some of these. Me and his mom were trying the banana one the other day, so that's.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's really doing it. Yeah. The Greek yogurt comes in strawberry, raspberry, and banana. It's in the frozen aisle of your grocery store now. I'm. I mean, I do it like. You could also do it as like a midday, you know, like a lunch, dessert, post workout.

[B]

Why not?

[A]

Sometimes I.

[B]

Sometimes I do that a little pick me up, you know, or it's just something sweet that you feel good about eating. Like, it's real fruit covered in chocolate. Like, how nice.

[A]

It's a. It's, like, so refreshing in the summertime, too. Like, I have nothing better. You have to let them. The key is to let them thaw out for a little bit.

[B]

Yes, I have noticed that. Just like a little.

[A]

So just a little. Just a little. Give them a few minutes and then they're. Oh, my God. They're like. They're really doing it. I also love making myself like a little dessert bowl. And I feel like putting trufrew, like, in the mix. You know, if you want a little salty, a little sweet, like, it's just true fruz it.

[A]

What is. What is it?

[B]

It's going golfing, but not actually golfing.

[A]

So drinking.

[B]

So drinking. But also I really had one drink.

[A]

I feel like that's the bed. No.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. But like, I, you know, boy, you know, it's always like, oh, I was going golf. And, you know, Danny's dream is to go golfing with the boys. So there was. I was in Wisconsin for Ryan's family reunion wedding. Grandma's 90th birthday. And let me just say one thing. Side note, his grandma is turning, oh, my God. Today's her birthday. I have to text her happy birthday.

[A]

Happy birthday.

[B]

She is. I just was like, what are your secrets to, like, living so long because she's so with it. So amazing.

[A]

How old is she again?

[B]

90.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. You know. Yeah, Ben's got a 90.

[A]

When. When you hit the 90s, I feel like you're like, that's like you lived a glorious life.

[B]

Yes. And I'm like, you're famous. Because I need to know, like, everything. You know what she drinks every morning?

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Kefir. And my family has been starting to drink that. So now I'm texting my family, like, we got. It's like a. You would actually.

[A]

Fermented.

[B]

Fermented, like milk, Yogurt milk. I actually like it. It's like probiotics. Anyways, she drinks that every morning. And tons of water. That's. Those are.

[A]

Does she still drink alcohol? Hmm.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, she had a high noon and.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Granny had a high noon on the boat.

[A]

That is like a sight to see. Like, I would be like, no, I know.

[B]

Like, they were like, hey, grandma, do you want a high Noon? And I literally did a double take. I was like, did you just ask 90 year old if she. And she took it some reason?

[A]

Like, that doesn't.

[B]

No, I know.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Yeah. No. And she's like, so fun. Cool. Like, I just. Great. But anyways, why'd I say, oh, we were in Wisconsin, blah. Golfing. So they set up like a golf tournament for all the guys. And then. I mean, guys, there was like 15 of them and some girls golfed, but I. I literally do not golf. I've gone. We've had like, top golf date nights in our sorority. And like. Like, Ryan and I have gone to Chelsea Piers a couple times. I. When it comes to sports, like, if there's a vessel. I think I've said this. If there's a vessel like lacrosse or baseball that you have to hit the ball with, I'm not as good at. Like, I need to be hands on that ball.

[A]

I got that.

[B]

And it's really hard. But going golfing with your boyfriend, significant other, or even, like, I'd go with my brother. And just sitting on the golf cart is so fun. Like, truly, you can sit there, you can, like, put your legs out and get a tan. But the funniest part about golf that I knew I knew, but I didn't, is they golf and then you gotta go find the ball every. It's like sometimes you can see where it goes, and then other times, probably because they're not, you know, they're more amateur. But, like, you have to go find the ball. It's hilarious.

[A]

You hit it from that point, you

[B]

hit it from a point like super far and typically you can see it. But even I'm like, how'd you guys see where that went?

[A]

You know what I mean?

[B]

Like, yeah, it's like they shoot it far and then you drive the golf cart and you find it and you hit it and then you just. It's an interesting sport, but I think I. I do want to learn how to golf. Like, I want to like, be able to swing it at least so that I can like do some celeb shots here and you know. Yeah, but it was really fun and I made a tick tock about it and so many people were commenting like, wow, like, this is something I just do all the time. I go with my boyfriend, my husband, he golfs and I just read and chill there. I feel like you would love that.

[A]

Ben doesn't golf.

[B]

No, but your brother does.

[A]

No, he does my whole thing. Yeah, the family does. Like, my mom's like usually hit it, I think. Hit it.

[B]

Oh, I'm not even there yet. That's what I want to do though. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, I think. I don't think she, like, you know, it's like.

[B]

Yeah, if not. I like the culture though.

[A]

It's pretty chill. I feel like culture. I'm putting this in quotes. The culture. Like, when I think of a golf culture, I just think of drinking, like day drinking and like, whatever, which I know that there's more to it and it's layered, but like, yeah, there wasn't

[B]

a ton of drinking. But I do like those transfusions. Have you ever had a transfusion? It's very like, specific to golf. I think it's like, I love grape. Do you like grape flavor? No. This about you?

[A]

It's indifferent.

[B]

Okay. Some people think it's medicine. It's like grape, ginger, lime. Like it's my dream, honestly. It's a great drink and it's like known for like a golf drink. People are probably listening to this. Like, this girl doesn't know what she's saying.

[A]

But I specifically got.

[B]

I don't know, that's just like this one was canned but like bars make it sometimes. But I only have ever seen it at like country clubs and golf adjacent things. Really. But yeah, so there's like drinking, but it's not like. Like sometimes people go and they don't drink at all. I more so enjoyed. I don't know, I just loved watching the do their thing and like sitting there in my little tennis dress and

[A]

like, that's very Danny.

[B]

It was Danny it was also giving, like. What's the word? Like, housewife energy.

[A]

Oh, yeah. You know, I've seen those tick tocks. Like, I feel like if you're, like, a reader or if you have, like. Yeah, like, that's a great activity.

[B]

Yeah. I need to pick up reading again. But I just. I. It really was so peaceful. Like, the sound of the birds and out in nature. Yeah, I really liked it. So I texted my brother, and he's obviously thrilled. It's like, when you texted your brother you were doing personal training, I feel like he's so excited because it's, like, something you could talk about and so forth. He was like, oh, my God, this would be amazing. Like, yes. You could start with simulator plays because I seen. Learn how to swing the golf club. Like, I can't even.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So that's my new journey. I'm really excited about it. Go, dogs.

[A]

Hey. It's good to have a new interest.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Are you. Did you like watching it? Because to me, watching. I did golf is kind of like, maybe if you have a vested interest, like, on tv, I'm like, this is literally watching paint dry. Like, I can't get behind it.

[B]

Have you ever heard of the term golf naps?

[A]

No.

[B]

Maybe my mom's boyfriend made it up. He's like, a big golf. Golf is just really prevalent my family. Like, my mom's boyfriend's a golfer. Freddy. Golf's literally every day. Whatever. But when you have golf on, you take the best nap on the couch. Like, the sound of golf. The sound. I don't know how to explain it. Like, and, like. Because everyone's so quiet.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But yeah, no, I couldn't. I can't sit and watch golf, like I said, and watch football. No way. But it's in person. I don't know. It was just so I was pleasantly surprised.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So we'll see where this takes me. Updates to come.

[A]

I'm. I'm excited to hear about your golfing journey.

[B]

I know because I said I would wait one day until I move somewhere that, like, you can, like, golf all year round.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But maybe I should start learning how to swing now.

[A]

Well, you could just, like, go with. Where does he go? Like, really just the driving range. Like, where? Like, because that's the problem with our golfing.

[B]

It's kind of like you got to go to Long Island.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So it would be like, if we're in the Hamptons, I guess we went. But no, I think I'm gonna look into Chelsea Piers. I think they have lessons or Like. Like, there's indoor simulator places. I don't know what's better. Like, I just.

[A]

I have a golf simulator in my building.

[B]

I'll come over there.

[A]

Yeah, I know. I see people with their clothes. They get on that really? And they press the floor.

[B]

I know where you're going, my guy.

[A]

But it will be like a father son. I'm like, that's sweet, actually, you know, sweet. But, like, some, like, you can tell some people have, like, a morning session, and they're, like, going back with their clubs, like. Yeah.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

You take that seriously, like, in the winter. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I guess. One way to do it. They love it that much. I used to like, we golf. Did you ever play we golf?

[A]

Yeah, I played every tennis. We golf was definitely the most boring.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

In my opinion, like, we tennis. I that up, ace. Like, you know.

[B]

Oh, and then we bowling. So good.

[A]

Awesome.

[B]

Awesome.

[A]

Literally awesome. Like, that was a great.

[B]

Yeah. I was just making sure I don't have any other notes about golf. No, that was definitely. Definitely.

[A]

And your family reunions.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. So that was good. Oh, well, then I have my family union in Illinois in, like, a couple weeks as this episode goes up. I'm in Japan.

[A]

Yes, you're in Japan. I feel like it's been a long time coming.

[B]

It's. It is a long time coming. I actually had a question for you. What suitcase situation did you do?

[A]

Like, Katie asked me the same thing

[B]

I asked her consultant.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I wonder if this was before I

[A]

was a little longer of a trip.

[B]

True.

[A]

Bear in mind, because I think you might be able to do it in one. But then the trip back I brought got a larger. Like, the base. Technically, it's like the medium. It's not like the large. Yeah, I always go overweight, but so it's like the base medium.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And then I brought the base. Larger check in. Larger check in was pretty empty, but. And I did check it, like.

[B]

Wait, wait, wait. You mean carry on? The larger carry on.

[A]

Yes, larger carry on.

[B]

So one normal size, medium checked bag,

[A]

and then carry on. Carry on size. But I did check it because then I had, like. It was just the two suitcases that I had. I didn't need two big suitcases. I needed a big suitcase and a smaller suitcase. Does that make sense?

[B]

Wow. So.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

I was gonna do more than that.

[A]

I definitely ran out of clothes. Like, I definitely. Are you open to re. Wearing, like, you know, my jeans I wore three times, like, without watching them.

[B]

Yeah. All my stuff, bringing. They're very, like, interchangeable. I cook your tips, but I'm, like, thinking about the shopping, like, oh, back.

[A]

So then you. You have to leave room. Right. Like, I feel like I left enough room. We were packed, like, towards the end. Like, I was like, wow, we're busting. And, like, you know, in my carry on, I, like, had some stuff, too.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I feel like it was honestly perfect. Like, that was really ideal.

[B]

Okay. Because I am realizing I, like, update. The carry on suitcase worked. Remember I said in the last episode, I decided to challenge myself. It was the best. No one commented on my big suitcase. I felt so, like, with the people, you know, Like.

[A]

Yeah, just, like, so cool.

[B]

Danny. With my carry on.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But I do like that you can put your bag on top of it while you're walking through the airport. So I think I do want to do a carry on, but then do I just do one other suitcase? Or maybe I'll make Ryan bring, like, the biggest space suitcase and then he'll just leave room.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, what did Ben bring? He's probably boring people to tears, as we say.

[A]

Yeah. But no, I think that he might have done the same situation that I did. But he. Yeah, he used it as a carry on.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

But he did had a smaller one. He's. In a way, I have a base. They're a bit too. Those two cases are too different. Away, I feel is sleek and slender. Like, she. Yeah, she's almost done.

[B]

She's skinny. Base is big and doesn't always fit in the overhead. Yeah, I love that. Well, thank you for the tips. I'm excited.

[A]

Yeah. It doesn't always fit.

[B]

Yeah, it does not always fit.

[A]

So I feel like that was a good situation. You can buy a suitcase there. Plenty of people buy a suitcase there. And, like, you know to bring everything back to buy a suitcase. But, like, you don't want to just buy a random one that you don't really like, fully love unless you like to.

[B]

I don't need any more suitcases. Yeah. Okay.

[A]

Don't do that.

[B]

So maybe I'll just. Yeah.

[A]

People do a suitcase and a suitcase. Like, pack that to me. I didn't have the weight for.

[B]

But wait, I could totally do that. I could just pack my medium and put it in the big, and then on the way back, spread out a little. Okay.

[A]

Because I got, like, three free checked bags. I don't know about you.

[B]

Yeah, we flew Delta. I'm playing Delta there, but Ally Nippon on the way back.

[A]

So I know we did Air Korea

[B]

on the way back, and they didn't give you an issue. Well, we could talk about self flying. Sorry.

[A]

No, but I honestly, it was like. Like I need to go on that airline again. It was fantastic.

[B]

Oh, really? Yeah.

[A]

Loved it. Delta partner, you know, any.

[B]

Any Delta partner is a friend of mine.

[A]

Actually.

[B]

Delta canceled my flight yesterday.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So actually many of my friends flights. So crazy. Like just people all around the country. Delta canceled their flight. I don't know what was going on. So I had to fly United.

[A]

And what did you think of it? You're not swishing.

[B]

No. Still love Delta way more. But I did feel like, weird and like cheaty. Like.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Secret. It's like crazy. Yeah. Yeah. You just sent me this thing on Instagram. It was like friendly reminder to always take the first flight out, especially during summer because I think it's the rain. Like, there's just way more thunderstorms in the summer and so things get canceled

[A]

and like unpredictability in the weather patterns, maybe. So then like the later flights get impacted. Like the early ones they usually sent. You're right. They usually do send out the early ones. Like, they're like, okay, go.

[B]

And then it is a really good reminder though, like, just. If you can just take that first flight out. Oh, I booked another flight. I'm going somewhere else.

[A]

Where else are you.

[B]

Oh, my God, you're just gonna, like, crack up.

[A]

You're like. I'm literally like, I'm having.

[B]

I'm not leaving. No, but when you hear this, like. I know, I know. No, I've. I honestly have accepted the fact that I'm just not gonna be in New York this year. Like, I've just accepted. This is a quick flight, though. This is a quick trip.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I got put in this random group chat this past weekend of my pledge class.

[A]

Oh, and reunion.

[B]

It's a. And we're doing a reunion in Athens.

[A]

Oh, in Athens.

[B]

In Athens. In July. Not for a game. No. It's like this.

[A]

So hot.

[B]

I know.

[A]

Rushing people. What are you doing there?

[B]

Like, no, no, no. It's before rush starts. It's gonna be like pretty dead there, I think. And I really was like, oh, my God. But then I thought, is this ever gonna happen?

[A]

I know. Again, it's good that you're saying yes to opportunities.

[B]

I just couldn't say no. Like, it.

[A]

So it's just a weekend.

[B]

It's just. It's two nights and we're like doing ton of like nostalgic things. I'll tell you later. But I'm just really excited about it. So I am gonna go because, like, my direct friend group all wants to go, and I haven't seen them in a while, too.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But I was like, oh, my God. I don't. I don't need to do another trip right now.

[A]

Yeah, you have a. Your things are, like, I know.

[B]

Filling in, but I've just accepted it. I'm just, you know, it's over the weekend, so I'm hoping.

[A]

But that's also, like, very. You coded is like, to be like. Not that you can't sit still, because I do think you can sit still. It's more so, like, you always like to have a lot of things, like, planned and booked.

[B]

I do. But then I was actually talking to Colby about this recently, and it would be nice to go into a summer and have no plans and then just so you can say yes to things. Because I've had to say a lot no to a lot, too. I know.

[A]

Like, I'm saying yes to everything. That's why I'm saying yes to everything.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because no, I'm available. And it's honestly kind of nice. Like, it is to be like, yeah, like, my mom and I are gonna start, like, looking at wedding venues. I'm like, name one.

[B]

Like, you know, I'm so excited. Oh, you have to tell everyone you got the wedding planner. Did you say?

[A]

Yeah, I think I said that.

[B]

Oh, I think I said that.

[A]

That's the one.

[B]

I'm just really excited about it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No, and you don'. Have to say it yet, but I think we decided where your bachelorette.

[A]

We.

[B]

You decided where your bachelorette.

[A]

Yeah, I just needed to clear it with another person that, like, obviously you could have your bachelor in the same place as someone else, but if it's,

[B]

like, super similar timing.

[A]

Yeah, but, like, why go to the same destination twice if you know you're going to be going again, like, shortly in that.

[B]

So you got it cleared and I got it cleared. I'm really pumped about it. It's a good one, you guys.

[A]

Yeah. No, so it will be fun. Yeah. No, because I was thinking about Hamptons Bachelorette because I. There was a lot of people there doing it. And I, like, mentioned it to Mar because we saw some brides and I mentioned to Margo and she was like,

[B]

no, she's so honest. I love her for that.

[A]

She was like, it's not like. Well, I actually kind of said. I was like, it's just not so special because it's, like, very.

[B]

We all know where you to go.

[A]

And, you know, so I was trying to think of Something that's special, but maybe not too over the top. It's, you know, it's perfect.

[B]

It's literally perfect. I'm so excited.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I saw you posted a video about, like, timelines of engagements and stuff, and I'm.

[A]

Oh, God.

[B]

Yeah. Like, I can't believe people are judging you for a two year engagement. That's crazy.

[A]

So crazy. It's okay. Honestly, like, I don't even know if I should say this. Like, my gynecologist, I went the other day and I was like, oh, I got engaged. And she was like, so, when's the big day? And I was like, well, we're, you know.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, wait a little bit. And she was like, oh, oh, okay. Like, I, I don't know. I, I just was like, oh. Like, is that. Oh, I, I, I don't know. I mean, directly. What?

[B]

Gretchen did it two years, I think.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, the. I, I understand what people are saying. Like, they're like, the concerns are just that, like, oh, you're, you're gonna be over by the end. You're gonna be tired of, like, fielding people's questions and stuff. But I'm trying to have fun with it along the way instead of, like, feel stressed in the short term. Like, spread it all out.

[B]

Yeah. I think Eli did two years too.

[A]

Yeah. No, definitely.

[B]

And they enjoyed it.

[A]

We'll do two years.

[B]

Y.

[A]

And I'm like, not pressed. Like, it's not like I gotta get married on this one day. Cause it's like a special day or something. I could be loose, you know?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There's certain things that I can be a little flexible with, but it's, it's coming. I mean, it's not coming together. I have a meeting with my mom and the planner.

[B]

My mom and I think Freddie follows the gals and the go or something. And they both kept saying, consistent but not redundant. Oh, that's like. We use it for, like, everything. Because we're designing. This is a secret. But no one in my family's probably listening. We're designing, like a family reunion shirt.

[A]

Oh, I love that.

[B]

We used to always do it. And then in the last five years, we've stopped.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And so Freddie was like, we should bring them back. Anyways. We were trying to figure out the front of the shirt versus the back. And Freddie goes consistent but not redundant with the back.

[A]

So you want to use like a similar. Yeah. Scheme, but maybe not the exact.

[B]

Yeah, it's a good, like, phrase. We've been using it. It's amazing. That is.

[A]

Wow. So everyone will get. Will they get like, Carolyn family reunion mom? Like, like, Carolyn family? No.

[B]

Like, no. Oh, my God. No, no, no. Like the boyfriend. Yeah. No, no, no, no. This is like, we just do a specific design for the year. We did, like, comfort colors, pocket tees.

[A]

Oh, you splurged this year.

[B]

Yeah, I know. I definitely did. And I was like, but they'll last a long time. That's. Hey, hey, look. And no one knows we're doing except for my grandma, me and my brother and my mom. So I feel like, surprise.

[A]

I love. Like, that.

[B]

Yeah. Only thing was, like, weird was like, guessing sizes because I didn't want to. Yeah. Tell everyone. So I just. My mom was like, do it like you did for gals in the goat for merch. You know, just like, get the normal, like a ratio.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

So hopefully everyone will be happy.

[A]

Oh, that. Well, if it's all the same shirt, then that makes it a little easier.

[B]

Oh, it's the same shirt. Yeah. I just bought, like, sizes.

[A]

Okay, that's good because then you don't have to be like, I selected this size.

[B]

Yeah. Because I. Hey, I want a double xl. Yeah. That's what I. But everyone else, some people might want it more fitted. Some people want it. So I was like, oh, my God. But I didn't want to tell everyone, so they're just gonna have to. To find a size that they like in the box.

[A]

We talk about the fact that, like, women's tees, like, when you look on, like a website, like, designing things, and it's like, okay, do you want to design like, men's shirt or women's shirt? Like, and we just like, typically, like, when I think of a T shirt, I'd think of. I guess it's classified as a men's T shirt. It's just like a loose men's men's T shirt. Like, because it's just a loose fitting, like, boxy T shirt. Like a Hanes T shirt. A comfort colors T shirt, whatever. I mean, it really is all genders. Like, it doesn't. But I feel like it's classified under men's because when you click women's T shirt, it's offensive. What do you see under that section?

[B]

They're like V neck, little, like caps.

[A]

Like, just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I want my tits out and to wear the tight little. You know what I'm saying? Like, women should have their boobs out and have a tight fitting shirt.

[B]

I know. I'm so over that, like, we all want the men's shirt. That's so true. Honestly. You know what? Okay, this is. Sorry this is such a side note, but back to Wisconsin. I just thought of this.

[A]

Yeah. Do you eat cheese?

[B]

No. And you know what was funny? I posted, like, in Wisconsin, so many people replied to my story with the cheese emoji.

[A]

That's a thing.

[B]

No, I know. It's just like, cheese head. Like. Well, I just thought it was sweet.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Like, welcome. Oh, but I think I've already talked about this game, Imposter. Have I made you play it with me yet?

[A]

No, I don't.

[B]

Because we have to be with at least four people. Like, you can play with three, but it's so obvious. But I. I basically. Imposter, like, super high level is. You are given a word. It's an app, and you pass it around the group in a circle and you click on this invisible ink and it tells you if you're the imposter. Or it tells you a word. The word could be like burger. And then you all go around the circle saying a word that is related to the word. So if you know the word, you're like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. But there's one person that does not know the word, but they're trying to act like they know by picking up what people are saying. Does that make sense?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. So it could be like a burger and someone says, tomato, cheese, bun. You try not to be that obvious. But then the imposter is like. They'll say ketchup, you know, in hopes. But anyways, so we were playing with Ryan's family because the last time I met his whole family, I introduced a game and I got major brownie points and they told me that. So I was like, I gotta bring another game.

[A]

Was it the Thanksgiving game?

[B]

It was the Thanksgiving. Yeah, the fishbowl.

[A]

Oh, really? That goes down. They think about that often?

[B]

No, it gets brought up all the time. I was like, danielle, remember that game?

[A]

I know.

[B]

It's like. So I brought it faster, which was such a hit, but was. It was so funny. So the. They have all these different categories. I now pay extra to get even more categories because I play so much now.

[A]

You would love a app subscription. You are Apple's number one customer.

[B]

Hey, Ms. Beauty face person.

[A]

I do a one off purchase. Yeah, I'm. I'm big on the one off purchases. Like, I will not sign up for your subscription.

[B]

I am consistent.

[A]

But not. You are how many? You must.

[B]

I know sometimes when I look, I'm Like, I should cancel that one. Yeah. I just subscribed to vocab of the day. Apple app. That's so funny. I guess I do.

[A]

Yeah. Because you made me get the freaking emoji app.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Like, you love to pay for an app. You're like, yes, yes.

[B]

2.99. Perfect. Like, free.

[A]

Not.

[B]

Not for me. I don't want the beta version. So we did. We decided. And this is like, people of all ages. We decided to do celebrities.

[A]

And I click the category.

[B]

Yeah. So you click the category. Celebrity. So everyone knows it's a celebrity. And I was like. Like, let me go first and see what the word is, and I'll decide if, like, everyone knows who's the first celebrity. Drake. I was like, selfishly, I wanted to do it, but also I was like, I don't know if everyone's gonna know what to say.

[A]

Yeah, like what we're gonna say. More life.

[B]

More life. Yeah. So we start. Ryan's sister says Toronto, which she's like, oh, I think that was too obvious. And then his dad said, kendrick. I was like, wow. So we know what to say. And then his mom, Danielle.

[A]

Oh, that's really good.

[B]

She's like, ah, Danielle. And then Ryan was the imposter, so he picked up on it very easily. But it was just so funny.

[A]

I was like, who were some of the other celebrities?

[B]

Because Adele. We got Taylor Swift, and Taylor Swift was hard because we were trying not to be obvious.

[A]

Yeah. So What'd you say? 13.

[B]

I literally said 13, but it was too obvious. Like, his sister was the imposter, and she was like, oh, yeah. I don't know what it is. But no one else would have known. Red. Someone said how many. Someone else said overexposed. You know, Classic.

[A]

Yeah, we know how you feel.

[B]

Yeah. Okay. We get it.

[A]

Travis.

[B]

No. Oh. What else was tour. You know, it was hard because you don't want to be so awesome.

[A]

I know.

[B]

Yeah, it was like, Adele, Taylor Swift, Drake. Yeah, no one that. Oh. Then it was like, Jason Statham. Like, we skipped that one.

[A]

I don't. There's some of these celebrities. Like, I don't know if my mom would be able to name one single identifying characteristic about Drake. Like, genuinely, like, that's where pop culture, I feel like, with the generations. Why?

[B]

I'm so sorry. I forgot. So that salad bowl game.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's similar to imposter in a way. You're trying to say words. It's about Drake. We played with my family at a family. One of my family Units, like, five, six years ago. Rest in peace. My grandpa who passed away earlier this year. But Drake was one of the names.

[A]

How it.

[B]

And I didn't do it. This is like, before I was like, so.

[A]

So.

[B]

And it went to him.

[A]

Do you know what he said?

[B]

A male duck. Because that's.

[A]

We all lost it. Because the people that knew the word, we were just peeing. Did you know that that's a male dog? No.

[B]

My mom's like, do you know that's a male dog?

[A]

That's the funniest ever. So funny. Oh, my God.

[B]

It goes down in family history. Is one of the funniest moments because we're all like, like, champagne Toronto. And he's like, male duck. Like, he just.

[A]

He thought he knew what it was. That's really. That's actually how I feel. Like, what your mom would do. Yeah. No, my. Like, she's not tapped into pop culture in those ways. Like, with musicians, you always say this,

[B]

but she's so like, bravo.

[A]

But she. She is with Bravo, but not with music she doesn't like. You know, like, if you ask her her favorite album of the last 10 years, like, you know what I mean? Like, she has. They listen to, like, old, old, you know, that's like 80s and 70s.

[B]

They like. What's that guy that tours Billy. Billy Joel. Don't they like Billy Joel?

[A]

They like Billy Joel, but they really. My dad loves Bruce Springsteen.

[B]

Bruce. So does my dad. Some of the dads and Bruce.

[A]

They love connection to Bruce. Just a man who made it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Self made.

[B]

He's a New Yorker, right?

[A]

Jersey.

[B]

Jersey.

[A]

Yeah. It's like, he's, you know, famous New Jersey guy.

[B]

Gotta love a good summer, like, capsule wardrobe because I feel like I just want the lighter fabrics, but I also want pieces that are super interchangeable because I'm typically traveling. You're traveling. We're gals on the go and we want these really nice items. And that's why we keep coming back to Quince. They focus on high quality essentials. They're very, like, into the breathable linen. My mom absolutely loves that stuff. The soft organic cotton, the washable silk, but without that leather luxury markup. It's so nice to have that balance. And it's like, still elevated.

[A]

That's the key. It's like the still elevated. I feel like when you say, like, oh, it's like, you know, they've got tops that start at $32. I'm like. But then you go. And you see the pieces on Quince and you're like, how. Like, literally, how are they doing this? And that's because Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middleman. So you're paying for quality, not for, like, the marketing and the brand markup. And, like, they're literally passing on the savings to you, and that's how you get these luxe pieces for less.

[B]

No. Thank you so much, Quince, for that. They also have denim, you guys. Their denim is soft and easy to wear. They have these organic cotton sweaters that are perfect for layering on cool summer nights. Like, literally the other night, Ryan and I were on our roof.

life moves in the summer. Like, you know, it's like suddenly. Suddenly all my friends are moving, though, actually. Like, and sometimes it's big moves, and sometimes you're like, wait, how am I gonna, like, move all my furniture? Or, like, how. What am I gonna do with, like, all my stuff? And it's honestly, the furniture is, like, the most stressful component, I think, especially if you're moving somewhere and you're like, I don't know how long I'm gonna be here. Like, I'm just trying something new out, and it could be expensive. The delivery also takes forever. Like, literally buy it. It takes months, and then you have to assemble it. Like, no, no. Like, buying furniture. Like, it sounds simple, but, like, it just. It's a lot. You have to really be locked in and, like, committed. Yeah.

[B]

And some people, like, live places for six months out of the year. Like, that's. You know, you shouldn't have to do all that. So Court Furniture Rental gets it. They are going to help you guys furnish your homes, apartments, and any of those temporary spaces without the stress, the waste, or that big ginormous upfront cost.

[A]

And it's stylish, it's durable, it's moving ready furniture that's delivered, it's set up, it's picked up when you're done. I mean, that sounds like a dream to me.

[B]

Like, I tell me less, especially because I feel like my vibe changes on, like, style and stuff. So it's just for that chapter in your life.

[A]

You're so right. Yeah.

[B]

How great.

[A]

And honestly, to just be able to be like, I want, like, nice furniture. I want it to be done. Like, I don't want to have to like, like, set it up and pick it up from like, all these various places and like, you're carrying it home on the subway. Like, it's done for you.

[B]

It's the best. So all you do is choose a curated move in ready package and they or you can also create your own custom package. You pick your delivery date and Court delivers and sets everything up.

I was about to say I have, I have it on locked with bowl and branch. They make everything that your bed needs. But for me, like, my sheets are amazing. They've got the signature organic cotton sheets, pillows, and blankets. They are so soft. I feel like they're perfect for, like, really all seasons too. They're not like, super heavy. Like, they're really, like, you know, breathable. And I really have finally experienced that feeling of like, when you get into a bed, you're like, okay, this, like, legit feels like hotel bedding.

[A]

No, my house. I always say.

[B]

You always say.

[A]

I'm like, why would I stay in a hotel? My apartment is better than, than most hotels. And that's because I love my bed so much.

[B]

Their signature sateen sheets are so amazing. They have very breathable pillows. Like, I don't know why, but I've realized as I get older, I need breathable pillows. Also the cozy waffle bed blankets. I Delaney just slept over the other night and I put it at the end of the bed and she was like, okay, hotel. I said, yeah, that's right. That's bowling Branch.

That's, I mean you, you correct me if I'm wrong because I'm like, you know, this is like my type of music that I like. But like, if you, if like you've heard of it though, like the Brooklyn.

[B]

Yes. I feel like if you like, you just kind of have heard if you

[A]

live like in New York and you're,

[B]

if you live in New York. I don't know that my mom knows what it is.

[A]

No, no, no, no. Definitely not. No, definitely.

[B]

But yes, if you're in New York, you know, like the Mirage is like the big one. It's like, oh, you go, is the concert at the Mirage? Like, I'll say that to just try to act like I know what I'm talking about. Yeah, that, like that music.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. I feel like it's very like in our age group, like, like people are just taught like it's like, oh, I'm going to a concert. It's like at the Mirage. It's like, yeah, yeah, like it's just that way. And it was like a really big popular venue for many, many years. I started going in 2021 and then in the end of 2024 they announced, okay, like we're going to do a complete crazy Renault. Just wait till 2025.

[B]

Right?

[A]

And then 2025 comes around and they're like, okay, guys, first show of the year coming up.

[B]

You had tickets, right?

[A]

Or to one of the first for, like, later. And people then, like, concert goers were, like, driving by the venue, like, a week before, and they were like, guys, the venue is still a construction site. Like, there's nothing, like, ready. And then people did some looking into it, and they realized that the permits were never approved for the construction, for, like, alcohol, for everything. Like, this place was just completely illegal. It was never going to open. You know, then they just. I think that they did a full wipe. Like, they fired everybody. And then. Then it closed. Like, then they went bankrupt and closed. So I was like, wow, that's so sad. It's never coming back.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Pasha.

[B]

Oh, it's Pasha.

[A]

Pasha. This big club in Ibiza, and I think they had one in New York. I feel like I went underage one time. The name really rings a bell.

[B]

Oh, shit. Mm. Per chance.

[A]

I feel that I went one time. I have to look into this.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But if it was a concert venue, then that'd probably be clogs. Yeah, right?

[B]

Yeah, totally.

[A]

Okay. They snatched it up and they gave the place a full makeover. Like, they also knocked it down and rebuilt it. I don't know why? What's the theme here? Like, we love to notch it down and rebuild it for no reason, but

[B]

there was already, like, foundation there, right?

[A]

Yeah. Huh.

[B]

They wanted their.

[A]

And it is just gorgeous. I mean, it is gorgeous. Huge screens. Biggest screen literally is giving sphere. Like.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It is adjacent.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And you just walk in. It's like the perfect summer concert venue. Like, I just, you know, I see myself there with late nights. I had to go. Like, I didn't really want to party that night.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But I was like, I have to. I have to go.

[B]

You had to go.

[A]

I have to go see what it's like.

[B]

How was it? You had fun?

[A]

Yeah, it's just. I can't wait to go back. Great venue, great everything. And then. And I've never done, like, VIP or anything there. I just buy, like, a general ticket. But they, like, I think because it's, like, newly open, they, like, they invited me in, which I was like, oh, thank you.

[B]

Yeah, I got you on the street.

[A]

Yeah, they did. And they. They got. They gave me vip, which is like, literally, if you were to buy the ticket, like a 500 ticket and not getting pulled up, like, by people, like, hey, come join my table, or anything like that, once again, that doesn't happen to me. So just getting to experience that, I was like, oh, this is how, like, people live. Like, you know, and you see girls. Then I see, like, the Love island esque girls.

[B]

Right, right.

[A]

Actually, but they look like.

[B]

They look like they could go on.

[A]

Like, do I look like that?

[B]

Like, you're like, hey, guys. No. It's so exciting to get a taste of what that's like. Yeah.

[A]

We have to really plan a new one, though, because this one that they redid the tables. The tables are behind the dj. It's really, really cool. Yeah. So we're gonna have to. We were going to buy a table, but I would buy a table there.

[B]

You said Surf Lodge.

[A]

Okay. Yes.

[B]

You said Surf Lodge. You can't say you'll never buy a table ever.

[A]

Someone told me that they're gonna. Someone that we noticed is gonna have their bachelorette there coming up. Like, they're not, like, traveling for it, but they're doing like a big going out night there.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

I was like, I kind of love that.

[B]

Someone that we know.

[A]

I just don't know if I should.

[B]

No. Yeah, you shouldn't. I'm just curious.

[A]

I feel like that's so fun.

[B]

Like, I'm into that vibe. Yeah, that's really cool. That's really fun.

[A]

So that was another, like, hint of summer, I guess. I'm like, what else is going on? I know you're away for Japan, so I'm off. Yeah.

[B]

Oh, I have another airplane etiquette because, you know, I love to bring one of these each week. When you're sitting on the plane and there's outlets. Let's say there's three seats.

[A]

Hey, that. There's only two outlets.

[B]

There's only two outlets. I was in a. I was in a pickle yesterday. I was sitting in the middle seat and I'm like, who gets what?

[A]

Where was Ryan? Was he next?

[B]

Ryan was next to me.

[A]

Oh, so then I would use that one.

[B]

Yes. Okay. Okay. But let's pretend Ryan's. Yeah, I. As soon as I said that, I was like, okay, let's pretend I'm alone on this flight in the middle seat still, honestly, no matter where. And there's only two out.

[A]

I might ask, because the middle is tough position.

[B]

So you think if you're in the middle, you don't get first dibs? The people on island window get first dibs.

[A]

Unfortunately not. And that might be. That's just my.

[B]

No, no. And hey, I don't usually opt to be in the middle. It's just my flight.

[A]

No, I know.

[B]

I'm an aisle girl.

[A]

I really. My etiquette with it is I only use it if it's Absolutely necessary. Like, it's not like I'm claiming it like, right away because like, I, you know, I'm like, what if they need it?

[B]

Like, I know. Or maybe it's like, okay, there's only two of them. You need it now. Then like, be mindful of halfway through the flight to unplug it and see if they ever plug in. And if not, you could plug right back. Yeah, I'm someone. I like to have my phone plugged in like the whole time. If I can't, I don't do it on planes. But like, I don't know, it just feels like, okay, I'm just keeping the battery. But I was just. I was like, what do I. I

[A]

know it would be nice. Like, I feel that that's not a fair design. I feel everybody should have a plug. Yes.

[B]

We're all paying the same amount or

[A]

everybody gets it or no one gets it. It has to be an equal system. No. Okay, well, like, you know, on the connection flights, like, they don't have any outlets. Like on the smaller.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Yeah, it's not ideal. But like, then you don't have to like, imagine having one per row. Like, it's like, who.

[B]

That's true. It's true. I. I don't know. It just got me thinking.

[A]

Air equality.

[B]

Yeah. We all deserve an outlet or not.

[A]

No, I think we all deserve one is the point. But. But I. That's just not. What are they gonna do? They just redesigned these planes. They're gonna redo em again. Yeah, I think about that all the time.

[B]

How about if you're well, you just like, don't pee. But like, if you're in the window seat and you have to pee once

[A]

again if absolutely necessary. No, no, that's very normal that people make. People like, you know, as.

[B]

No, but I see, I saw, I saw a woman do it on the plane yesterday. And the women in the middle and aisle, like, they were annoyed. They were visibly annoyed to have to get up and it like. But she had to pee. Like, I don't know what's fair there.

[A]

I mean, if you have to go, you have to go. Like, there's nothing that you can do there. Like, that's an emergency. It's less than ideal. Like, my thing is, like, if I'm getting up to go, like, they probably know, like, I also don't want to get up. Like, I'm visibly like, hey, yeah, you

[B]

got to like, get.

[A]

Sorry. Like, pointing at my bladder. I don't want to do this.

[B]

And you know, if Someone's in the window seat. Like, they've been working up the courage for about 10 minutes to ask.

[A]

You're so right. They really had to go, probably even 30 minutes before. Yeah.

[B]

And they were like, oh, I have to. But nothing's worse than, like, if you have your tray out, your drink, your laptop, things plugged in, you're like, give me five to seven minutes, and then you can get up.

[A]

There's always people doing, like, a full work from home day next to me.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, literally, they've got multiple monitors. Yeah. Like, I'm like, sorry, there's no way I'm peeing now. Yeah. Yeah. Then I'm like, I'll just suffer.

[B]

Yeah, but I. Sitting in the aisle, I know that. And if anyone has to be pee equality, let me.

[A]

You should sit down right away and be like, your rules. That outlet is mine. You have to pee, you let me know. Like, you should just.

[B]

Yeah, like, that's so true. Just set the expectations. Like, look, if you ever have to go to the bathroom, seriously, let me know. Option two, when I get up, you get up, too. Anytime I get up, I'm like, now's your chance. Like, you should go pee now. You know what I mean?

[A]

I get so nervous even engaging in conversation with people next to me on a flight because I don't want them to know that the door is open to conversation.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I'm saying, like, I opt for, like, just a polite, like, hello. Like, you know, I don't want to say, where you from? Where you going? Like, any of that, because then I feel like you open the door, and then they're like. Then they just.

[B]

Yeah. No, you're so right. Especially usually it's that they're a little older because they're.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because our generation's so messed up. Honestly, we, like, don't talk to each other on planes in public, which is, like, sad.

[A]

So I'm messed up because I'm the one.

[B]

No, but I do the same thing, Brooke. I do the same thing. I'll sit down. And I'm like, oh, if they're a little bit older. I'm like, I have to either decide, do I. We want to have life story chat, or don't talk to them literally at all, which is sad, but literally, the other day. Yeah, I. I said, hi, how you doing? And, well, if you're asking.

[A]

Well, depends.

[B]

Oh, here we go.

[A]

Yeah, I know some people. I. You get me on the right day. I might be that chatty person, too. Yeah. Honestly, like, I could be, like, well, this summer is going to be awesome, let me tell you. I just got engaged. No, we.

[B]

I have a question. And this was a dilemma. Someone in my life, and it was like, the funniest conversation. I hope this is like, okay, I think it's fine to talk.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

If. And by the way, this is not you or anyone really close to me. If someone in your life smells, like,

[A]

now, now, like, I wasn't thinking. You just said it's not you, by the way. Now I'm nervous. It is me.

[B]

Like, no, it's not something that happened to me. It's something that happened to someone else in my life. And it wasn't even like. Like, they were just around this person, and then they realized time after time.

[A]

Oh, my God, that's literally my biggest fear. I know.

[B]

It got me. And also, I'm even more conscious and it's like, how do. Cuz honestly, I feel like there's been times I like, oh, I have no problem telling Ryan, like, you got to brush your teeth. Like, I feel like breath is a little easier. It's like, do you.

[A]

Oh, totally. Because spray or. Yeah. Oh, maybe not, like, permanently. Like, you smell bad. It's. It's a temper.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That.

[B]

It's temporary option to brush teeth.

[A]

If you had a coffee. Yes.

[B]

Like, oh, do you have onions for lunch? Like, I feel like you can like, oh, is there garlic in that pasta?

[A]

Like, yeah, yeah.

[B]

When someone just straight up smells bad, it's like, what do you do? Like, generally, what is it, a hygiene

[A]

issue or, like, then you have to go into that. Like, like, the complexities of it. Like, is it.

[B]

And when this happened to this person, like, the scent was offensive. Like, it was. I don't know.

[A]

I don't want to know who this is.

[B]

Is it. No, it's. No, it's no one even our age.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Very out of friend to. There's no one in New York.

[A]

Like, they were friends or family. Family, you tell them.

[B]

Yeah, no, family. You straight up tell. But it got me thinking. It's like, what do you do if you're. And. And this person was telling me, like, I just, you know, it's hard for me to be around 1, 2. I don't want them because they, like, own their own business. Like, I don't want them going out in this world, like, maybe not getting business because they.

[A]

So.

[B]

And I was. I was like, I don't know. I don't know.

[A]

Like, what's the dilemma if it's really bothering you? Like, if it's getting to the point where it's like you struggle to, like, be.

[B]

Like, what if you're traveling with them?

[A]

Yeah, like driving the car or something. Yeah. No, like, next, I'm on the plane. Can I use your outlet?

[B]

No, you cannot. Like, don't mind if I reach past you. I. I don't know. But also, like, I. Yes, it'd be offensive, but if I smelled, I would want you to tell me, like, if it's been.

[A]

But also a recurring issue.

[B]

Yeah. One day we'll let it pass. Or if it's like, oh, I know you just got a spray tan and you're sweat. Like, that's. We know why there's like. But it's just.

[A]

No, that it is. That's a complexity I had. Not that I had this issue, but there was one time after I worked out with my trainer that I got home and I got a whiff of myself and I was like, I must have offended her. Like, I must have offended her. Like, oh, yeah. No, I was like, if I smell like this the whole time, like, and it was hours later, to be fair, like, you know, Rand, I went home, whatever. And I was like, I am so sorry. I tried a new deodorant look and like. And she was like, I'm telling you, honestly, you did not smell. Oh, you texted. Yeah, because I was thinking about it, Danielle. I was like, literally, like, I got the whiff and I was like, wow, something smells. It's me. It's me. Like, you know. Oh. Like, there was like, a stent. I started. Like, it was just a new smell. Like something that I wasn't. Oh, my God. Used to. Maybe it was. It could have just been, you know, a collection of the days.

[B]

Yeah. Sometimes they say it's like, different hormones.

[A]

I do believe in that. Like, the. They say, like, your stress sweats smell differently than, like, you're. I like, low key. Believe that a little bit.

[B]

No, totally. I know it's. It's up for debate. So if you guys please comment down below on Spotify, YouTube, whatever, if there's a way to say something, convict. Yeah.

[A]

Hey, if you see something, say something.

[B]
