The tone is encouraging, funny, and always relatable.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I made a soup recently and it was like, like, it feels appropriate, but.

[Brooke Michio]

It does feel appropriate and it just makes for such good leftovers. Like at least chili soups. I feel like that's like a single serve for the day.

[Danielle Carolyn]

This one was a very hearty soup and it was, we used, like, won like pieces, I guess, basically. So it soaks up. You need something that's going to like, like a noodle or like something that's going soak it up. I feel like that, that sits well.

[Brooke Michio]

No idea.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh, that's.

[Brooke Michio]

I had no idea. It's actually. I should tell the story, so. It's so classic. Boy. We were talking about this couple that just got engaged, and we were like, oh, I wonder if we'd be invited to the wedding. Probably not. You know, it's always fun to play that game. Like, are we going to be invited to the wedding? You know, I don't know. I haven't talked to them in a while. Whatever. And then I found. Because I found out where it was going to be, and I was like, oh, that would be so nice to go to Italy. Whatever. And Ryan goes, wait, that person actually just asked me for our address the other day. I was like, ryan, that's probably what it's for.

[Danielle Carolyn]

He's not 100. I mean, love the friend, but, like, guys don't send guys, like, housewarming gifts. Like, that's not happening. Like, I don't know what else for the Christmas card. Like, what else does he think it's for?

[Brooke Michio]

It's just like. It's just. Ryan is classic. Like, oh, yeah, they broke up. I don't know what happened. Like, yes. Any details are just so out.

[Danielle Carolyn]

So I was like, that's like. I feel like typical boys. Like, they're just like, damn, she broke. I'm up. Like, yeah, it is ripped.

[Brooke Michio]

The band.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. Like, there's no us. It's like, I need time, I need place. I need major characters. I need, like, setting. Like, I need to know every detail.

[Brooke Michio]

Is Ben like that, or will he, like, provide details?

[Danielle Carolyn]

I have to dig. But still, it's not much. Like, he's like, I stopped asking after that point.

[Brooke Michio]

You know, I'm like, why not?

[Danielle Carolyn]

I'm like, okay, well, then we're gonna have to invite him over, and I'm gonna have to talk.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

So let me.

[Brooke Michio]

I'm gonna have to get to the bottom.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Let me try. Like, let me give the best shot.

[Brooke Michio]

I will never understand this with boys. They just don't even think to ask a further question. Like, whereas we're like, wait, but, you know, what were you Wearing like, yeah, yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

We're like, no. But like, what was their face like? You know, were they shocked? Were they not? Like there's. There's important context. Like, because it's like some people are more like deadp. More like simply. And some people say things can be whatever. I had a similar situation where we sent. We asked a couple for their address because we went to their engagement party. And this was actually like a little. A mini panic because, like, engagement party, Surprise engagement party. They got engaged. We knew it was happening. Like, we were invited to the. Like, it was like a surprise afterwards for her.

[Brooke Michio]

Was this. This weekend?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. Oh, I know. I was like off the grid. I know. Well, because like, engagement parties, I'm like, I want you to have your moment.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, because they hadn't posted.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Then definitely. So I was like, why does Brooke Mitch. No share that? Like, that feels weird. Like 100, you know, like, I was like, I. I'm good.

[Brooke Michio]

Like worries.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Haha. No worries. But we were. Whatever. Was at a bar. But then I was thinking, I did have the thought before I left. I was like, should I be bringing a gift? Because you know me, like, I bring a gift.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

But it was at a bar.

[Brooke Michio]

I know. Where are they going to put that?

[Danielle Carolyn]

No. And I was thinking about it and I was like, oh, like, what am I even going to get them? That's going to. And there's.

[Brooke Michio]

So there's the wedding gift. Eventually. There's all kinds of.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. And it's at a bar. Like, am I going to bring them a bottle of liquor to the bar?

[Brooke Michio]

Like, you in with that?

[Danielle Carolyn]

I had these thoughts. So then I was like, okay, they probably aren't going to want to carry everything home from the bar.

[Brooke Michio]

Like, what if they want to go somewhere else after?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Totally. So we sent them flowers the next.

[Brooke Michio]

That's really nice.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I had been asked for his address. He's like, hey, can I get your address? And he goes, why? Why are you asking why? You literally just got engaged yesterday. What do you think it's for the guys.

[Brooke Michio]

I mean, you could only imagine, like our wedding invitation.

[Danielle Carolyn]

We're getting an early start. Like, no, guys are just so, like, like, they're like, oh, why didn't my own. Like, it's like, well, you got engaged yesterday.

[Brooke Michio]

That might be it. Gosh, boys are so silly.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, really silly. But it was really fun. That honestly, is like so ideal. And the fact that guys can even have the thought to plan like a whole surprise. Like this was like a month out too, that he and no one spilled the beans. Like, it was really, like, a Truly.

[Brooke Michio]

And a lot of people knew. Yes. You knew?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yes, because I was in. Like, I was in. Yeah. Well, Ben was invited, so then he told me about it, and I was.

[Brooke Michio]

So he told everyone for a month. Wow.

[Danielle Carolyn]

There's a party full. I was thinking about it.

[Brooke Michio]

I was like, that's dangerous.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I had the thought, too. I was like, these are good friends. And if it was truly under lock.

[Brooke Michio]

And key, which is how it should be. But. Yeah, I mean, I. Yeah. Wow.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, it was like, hey, I'm gonna propose to her during the day, and then, like, we're gonna surprise her. That is so nice, though, to have all of your friends and family, like, pop out surprise. I mean, it would be great if it was a true, true surprise, but it's always something sus. It's like, let's go for a walk around the block. Like.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It's like, we've literally never done this. Like, you know what I mean?

[Brooke Michio]

Like, yeah. And find my friends doesn't help. I feel like back in the day, you know, you couldn't then go track all your friends and family and see they're nearby, you know, or they're all at the same location. All their little profile pictures.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I was thinking about that. I was like, I feel like Danielle would be looking, so then she would know. Like, it's hard to get you for the surprise.

[Brooke Michio]

It's hard to get you.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It is.

[Brooke Michio]

That's. I just got on the side of TikTok. I'm sure you've seen where, like, people think they're, you know, at a baptism, but really, it's a wedding or stuff like that.

[Danielle Carolyn]

What?

[Brooke Michio]

Nope.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, you're so right. So now I'm trying to speed it up a little.

[Brooke Michio]

Speed it up. So she's got it.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I know. Well, because I was wearing it today, so I was like, Kosas wet lip oil. I like this because it's, like, the perfect mix between lip gloss and, like, lip balm. Like, it's, like, it stays with that, like, slicky look without being sticky.

[Brooke Michio]

Huh?

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Yes.

[Danielle Carolyn]

This is the shade unbuttoned. I don't know. And I like the packaging, too. Like, Hostess did such a good job with packaging.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, that's, like, a really chic packaging. And I saw you commented on my video. Kosas did an activation at. @ UGA.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Were they giving away stuff?

[Brooke Michio]

It looked like it. I. I kept walking, but I heard someone say, like, oh, I love this mascara. So maybe they were handing out little mascaras. I just think that was never the case when we were at Georgia.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

No.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

Tarte was also there this week.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Silver Dollar. Yeah. They went, like, around. I feel like Maureen.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, multiple place. Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

She went to the sorority house. Maureen was. She went to kd.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. Of course they would go to kd. Yeah. Like, makes sense. I think her niece might be a kd from my research. Oh, wow, you went deep. Well, I did. And so then I obviously DM'd her. I responded to her because they had invited you and I if we were in town.

[Danielle Carolyn]

They.

[Brooke Michio]

They called it tripping with Tart.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

Athens, Georgia. And I was like, oh, my God, are they doing a brand trip?

[Danielle Carolyn]

When I first read that too, I was excited. Oh my God, we're getting sent back to Georgia. Let's go. Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

I feel like once a year we get sent back to Georgia in some way with the brand.

[Danielle Carolyn]

That's really cool. I had not. And then it was twice a year. Last year I just hit my quota. Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh my God.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

It was Disney and Spotify.

[Danielle Carolyn]

That was very cool.

[Brooke Michio]

Slay gals.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I know, I know.

[Brooke Michio]

But I DM'd. I just responded to her story and I was like, oh my gosh, that's so fun you're here. I forget what I said to Maureen or the Maureen because I was like.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Do you follow each other?

[Brooke Michio]

I follow her. Oh, she didn't follow me. And I dm cuz, you know, that's okay.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Mel says, Mel says that's okay.

[Brooke Michio]

I choose to follow her. She doesn't have to follow me. So I messaged her. I was like, oh my gosh, it's so fun. I. I responded. The Katie thing, I was like, yeah, I was a Katie at Georgia. Like so exciting. And she responded. She was like, oh my gosh, hi. Are you going to the game? And she followed me. So we're in next. Tripping in with Tart. You will see the gals, Maureen. But I responded and then she never responded back. So if anyone here, I would imagine.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Her DMS are crazy.

[Brooke Michio]

I couldn't even believe she honestly saw mine. So thank you Maureen. If you know, you know, like, she like is very active on social media.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I always hear in people's comments and.

[Brooke Michio]

Stuff, I'm like, she's in there.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You too, Maureen?

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, she's like sending people gifts like she's in there. But yeah, so go Georgia and Tangle Teaser. Did the pop up? Like I love all these brands collaborating or activating on campuses. So we love cosas for that.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Smart.

[Brooke Michio]

What do you say?

[Danielle Carolyn]

I don't really what I say. Kosas.

[Brooke Michio]

I think I don't even know what you said. I just said it and I was.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like, I think it's tomato.

[Brooke Michio]

Tomato.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, perhaps maybe you're like me and.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

You just want to get like a little more insight into your health, what's going on inside your body. I feel like as I get older, like I. I just want to know more about what's going on in theirs to see what I can stay on top of. Because I want to live a long, healthy life. And that's why function is truly the choice. Okay. It's the only health platform that gives me data that most people never get. And the insights to start doing something about it. So inside Function, you're going to get access to test for over a hundred plus biomarkers. From hormones to toxins to markers of heart health, inflammation, stress.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It is really so great.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

I, I stay on top of my things with like routinely seeing my doctors and whatnot. But I do feel like there are just some things that are overlooked or like maybe you know, these markers that you hear about like on social media or whatever and you're like, wait, should I be like concerned about like my cortisol or things like that? Because you know, we are all facing stress and burnout and like feeling drained. And I feel like real change starts to happen when you realize what's going on inside your body. Right? So having access to these biomarkers is truly so amazing. Most routine physicals skip these markers. So like this is just stuff that even if you are like me staying on top of your doctor's appointments, you know you're not going to have this information. It just goes deeper.

[Brooke Michio]

What are you glam in my glam? It's not so glam, I guess, but it is a product. It is from the brand Tree Hut, and it's a moisturizing shave oil.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Okay.

[Brooke Michio]

I feel like that's so fun. Like, I don't know. Last time I use, like, a true shaving cream.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

But this is. And it's in the scent. Santal haze. Oh, my gosh. I just think anything with a pump in the shower, I'm done. I feel like you like a pump.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Love it, too. Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

It's just so nice. And it smells so, so good. And I just put on to shave, and it's just. I feel like there's less bumps and there's also ashwagandha in it, so it helps, like, calm with redness and everything. I really, really like it. And I know, like, they sell Tree Hut at, like, Target and on Amazon, so it's really accessible, I feel like.

[Danielle Carolyn]

And that's great.

[Brooke Michio]

I'm almost out. I'm gonna do a repurchase. I really, really like it. I know. I think it's fun.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

It's lovely.

[Brooke Michio]

Or I'll use, like, the L Citan almond one, but then.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, my gosh. It's so good. Like, I don't want to waste it.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I feel that, too.

[Brooke Michio]

Pump.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

I ration, actually.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. They have ones with pumps.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh, really? I have at one time, I spilled on the floor. You know, it's like, probably almost dies. Like, you spill that shower oil on the slick floor, and it's like, all right. Like, you could. You might have a head injury, like, because you can slip and fall backwards. You're slick.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. Slippery. Saying all these rap songs right now.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Well, Georgia will do that to you.

[Brooke Michio]

Georgia will do that to panic of the week.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. Panic.

[Brooke Michio]

What are you panicked about?

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

You're.

[Brooke Michio]

You're always panicked.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Always panicked about something. I mean, I feel like I'm Continuing my workout journey. Okay, did I talk about the fact that Sal taught me how to work out?

[Brooke Michio]

Not on the pod. You do need to tell the gal pals.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It was really, really sweet of him, you know, but I fully asked my brother. My. Obviously he's, you know, very fit. He.

[Brooke Michio]

You asked for this.

[Danielle Carolyn]

He goes to the gym every day, twice a day usually. Cuz he does cardio in the morning and then he does his weights at the end of the day. So like this is truly. He's like, he could be a personal trainer like if I want, you know, for sure. So I was like, okay, look, I want to start using the gym. And the gym is a scary place. Like it is just room with weights and some machines and a lot of like accessories and props.

[Brooke Michio]

Accessories. The prop table, the prop to book. Yeah, no, literally though, all the like pulley systems and.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No. And I don't. I didn't even know how to change the strings like, or like change the prop. I know.

[Brooke Michio]

Carabiner. There's so much going on.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, I, I truly was. I mean, I think that we took a class in like middle school or high school, but like, I don't remember.

[Brooke Michio]

Never taught.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh, we had like weight room.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, weight room. Oh, yeah, I guess we have athletic conditioning. Did like, they didn't teach us. They just like let us use the.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Gym and whatever they like taught us. But like I was like, not actually. You know what I mean?

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You don't actually like, I wasn't paying attention.

[Brooke Michio]

I was like, it's like your hour. Stick around.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I was like, oh my God, this is so stupid.

[Brooke Michio]

Who cares? You know, Training now we're like protein and weight training.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Exactly. But I just was like, I just want to feel more comfortable like doing my thing. I also like do like working out alone. I love plugging my headphones like doing my thing.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

So like I. And that's what literally everybody does. I've. I've watched what happens in the gym and everybody just has their headphones and they're just doing their own thing. So I'm like, if I could learn then I could be one of these people and go and do my routine and like that's it. Go upstairs, totally back to my room. So I had him come and teach me just like the basics of how to use the machines. And he did. Except for the fact that then we like got to a point where like, you know, he, he's. He was teaching me how to do like the chest exercises and the shoulders, which. And all these things. And then, like, we kind of got halfway through. And he was like, but, like, these are. These are what I do, though. Like, yeah, for.

[Brooke Michio]

For.

[Danielle Carolyn]

For, like, you might have different goals. And I know some girls like to do glutes and something. And he was like, you need to, like, go on tick tock and figure out what you want to do. And I was like, okay, you're right. So he really just taught me how to use the equipment. So I did my own, like, free workout yesterday. It was scary as, like, I still. I felt like everybody was staring at me. I was like, no, I'm literally. I'm new here. Like, I. But I didn't want anyone to talk to me at the same time because, like, right.

[Brooke Michio]

So head down, don't even make eye contact.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Exactly. And I just. I'm still learning the etiquette. Like, you know what? I know the etiquette. Like, I know. You know, my brother's like. He was like, you always re. Rack your weights. I was like, I know that. I was like, I would never leave them out. Like, that I would not mess up. Yeah. And I was like, do I have to change back the, like, cord thing on the.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Because he was like, you have a cable machine that could pretty much do everything. He was like, trying to tell me, like, what can do everything. Like, I know it could do everything, but, like, that's almost too much. Like, I needed to, like, almost limited things. I can. Because, like, then I can. Yes, I agree. But TikTok is amazing. I literally went in there and I searched. Gym, workout, machine, leg, women.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, smart.

[Danielle Carolyn]

And they have.

[Brooke Michio]

And it tells you, like, how many reps?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yes.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, that's. That's good. Tik Tok.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Honestly, Because I searched, like, because I really. I didn't want to use the free weights. Like, I was kind of nervous. Like, I don't know. I was just like, I want to use the machines if they're just so many.

[Brooke Michio]

So that's just what I'm a nice big gym.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It's a wonderful gym. And I, like, it's, like, nice and bright in there. A lot of natural light. Like, I really enjoy my time in there. I just. I feel like everybody.

[Brooke Michio]

No one, actually, no one is at all.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like, everybody's staring at me. And it's always all men. Like, there's like, it's really.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. No, it's so true. Because. Because all of us girls are intimidated. We're going to the workout classes because we're so intimidated. But sometimes you just want to. If you are so Lucky to have a gym in your building. Like, you just want to be able to go to the gym in your building.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I have literally no excuse. Like, that's the thing.

[Brooke Michio]

Like, I'm like, especially when it gets colder. And you're not.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No. And then Sal was trying to tell me his workouts, but he was like, okay. So I was like, give me, like, a good split. He was like, Monday back and buys Tuesday leg, Thursday shoulder and, like, whatever. And I was like, okay. Like, unfortunately, like, I'm not gonna do five days of weights. Like, yeah, I'm not. I. This is my first time here. He's like, okay, we're gonna break it down. Very simple. Two days, upper body, lower body.

[Brooke Michio]

I was like, sweet.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Great. Excellent. Thank you. On top of, like, Pilates, whatever. So I don't know.

[Brooke Michio]

Panicky, though, when you're like, oh, my gosh, what did he say to do again?

[Danielle Carolyn]

That's what I'm saying. My mind literally went blank. I was like, he literally just showed me how to do this.

[Brooke Michio]

No, but he's showing you so much at one point.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, my God. That's. I'm really proud of you. That's amazing. I don't. I do not even do that, really.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I'm going to invite him back because. Well, like, Ryan could show you how to do all this, probably. Right. Like, Ryan's, like, into weights and stuff.

[Brooke Michio]

My trainer shows me.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Well, of course, that's.

[Brooke Michio]

And I. But I just. So I just opt to do it with her and have no brain on. But, yes, you're right.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like, when you go to the gym, like, you could, Hypothetically.

[Brooke Michio]

Yes.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Do a thing with him, maybe.

[Brooke Michio]

Because we've done it a few times.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. Like lifting weights and stuff.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

The trainer definitely shows you how to. And there's definitely people with their trainer, which, like, I'm interested in. But at the same time, I. I have a lot of things going on right now, so I've got, like. I'm doing unlimited body rock. Like, I'm doing that. Like, I feel like it's hard. I gotta pick a lane.

[Brooke Michio]

No, there are so many. I do love having a trainer, because one. There's, like. They just move everything. They take everything. They add the weights, and it's kind of like therapy. You just talk for an hour. And, like, that's really nice. You know? I mean, I don't know.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

No.

[Danielle Carolyn]

And it's less awkward because you have someone to be there with, but it's something with the headphones and, like, I put on my mix.

[Brooke Michio]

No music Sucks. And that's so like, baller to be in the gym with your headphones on and just, like, get in your zone. So that's true, too. Well, that's so exciting and very panicky at the same time.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

Anyways, my panic, plain and simple, the Georgia Bulldogs lost to Alabama. And it's just. It was so panicky for so many reasons, because obviously, like, it was just like, wow, we, like, flew down here, you know, like, came down all this way. And then the panic was like, oh, my gosh, are we the problem? You know, because then Ryan thinks he's on the team, and he's like. Like, oh, my God. Like, we can't come back to any more Georgia, Alabama games. Because last year, you and I and Ben and Ryan went to the Georgia Alabama game in Tuscaloosa, and we lost. So not feeling great.

[Danielle Carolyn]

That was honestly, like, such an iconic game, though. I feel like it was back in.

[Brooke Michio]

The fourth, and it was. You're right. And it. That was a really stress.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It was stressful. But, like, when you look back, like.

[Brooke Michio]

We were in there.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Whoa.

[Brooke Michio]

We had good seats, too. That was fun. And this game, it was like, the first half, we didn't score, I don't think. And then the second half, we really came back, like, it ended up being 24 to 21. Like, it was really close. Game. Game. It just sucked. And I was just panicked because then all my friends that had come into town for it, like, we all had plans to meet out downtown afterwards, and they're like, you know, are we gonna be seeing you and Ryan? And Ryan's gotten better. Like, he used to really be like, don't no one talk to me. Like, you know, And I think he's matured a little bit, because I remember a lot. I mean, we didn't go out last year, but I remember Ryan was a little bit more positive than I thought he would. So we still, like, met up with our friends after for, like, an hour. And, you know, we were sad about it, but just sucks.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Something about suck.

[Brooke Michio]

Alabama.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. I was gonna say. I was gonna ask if you went out, but I saw that there you guys did go, like, see friends and stuff. Because I. I. Yeah. You know, you have emotional ties.

[Brooke Michio]

Actually, this should have been my panic. Yeah. So then we're out at Paulie's, obviously, so it's, like, the only place we can get into because everything's so crowded, whatever. And we're leaving to go home, and I walk outside, Ryan saying goodbye to someone. So I'm standing out Front. All of a sudden, like, this is actually scary. A ton of people to start running down the street. And I'm like, oh, my God, something terrible has happened. Like, everyone's running, screaming. I'm freaking out. So I immediately run back into Paulie's, my safe space. And I grabbed Ryan. He had no idea what's happening. And everyone. We're all just kind of looking to, like, what do we do? What do we. I walk into police. I lock the door, but no one else was, like, freaking out. I was like, hello? Everyone is running down the streets, like, freaking out, and it kind of dissipates. And then I go outside, and all of a sudden, me and Ryan start coughing, and we're like. And everyone has their, like, shirts on their face. I guess a fight had broken out, and the police sprayed pepper spray. What? So crazy. But it must have been a lot of pepper spray because we literally. Ryan had tears.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Was it, like, tear gas? Like, I think that's what I thought.

[Brooke Michio]

But I texted, spray. Like, we, like, left. We didn't know what happened. But I had texted to someone that went to Polly's later that night, and he was like, it was pepper spray. Twice that. But I know. I'm like, how much did they spray? Because, I mean, these are like, at least 100 of us were like. It was so freaky.

[Danielle Carolyn]

That sounds.

[Brooke Michio]

I'm glad everyone's okay, though, and, like, whatever, but.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh, you almost, like, never hear that. Oh, my.

[Brooke Michio]

No, it was just not the Athens I know.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, it's not.

[Brooke Michio]

It really is. Like, I feel very safe.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It gets crazy and, like, packed and stuff like that, but at the end of the day, it is like, a town.

[Brooke Michio]

Like, it's not.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It doesn't feel like. Like a big city. It feels like a college town.

[Brooke Michio]

It does. It just didn't feel like that.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

And I think. Honestly, I think a lot of people had, like, gone home, so it was just, like, all kinds of people I don't even know.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I see.

[Brooke Michio]

Well, I know the Alabama fans.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It gets. No, it gets rowdy. I feel like on game day weekends, though, like.

[Brooke Michio]

It does. It was just, like, freaky, and I. It just, like, put a sour taste in my mouth. I was like, that was like, the last Athens experience.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I thought you were gonna say something exploded or something.

[Brooke Michio]

Well, that's low key. When I thought I was like, oh, my God, here we go. This is so scary. So I feel really grateful that everyone's okay. And it was just weird. So that was panicky for sure.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. We don't like to hear that.

[Brooke Michio]

No. No. But, yeah, so that's. That went to Athens for Georgia game day. It was so fun.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You saw friends?

[Brooke Michio]

Saw friends saw, like, friend's baby. Oh, my God. I talked to Brooke. I said, brooke, I might be holding a baby this weekend.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Big moves, guys.

[Brooke Michio]

Big moves. Because Brooke and I don't, like. Babies are, you know, great, but we get really scared to hold them.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I. I don't think I've still held one.

[Brooke Michio]

Like. Oh, you still don't think you've held one?

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, I haven't held my cousins yet. I. Yeah, they want. They were like, brooke. And I was like, I'm not ready yet. And they're like, understood completely. No, I completely respect that.

[Brooke Michio]

Of course. Like, we don't want you to hold our baby if you're not, like, wanting to.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

But that baby is my friend Emmy's baby. She just had this child, and it was so cute. Like, a lot of times I'm like, okay. I'm not even. Like, the baby's not cute. This baby was so freaking cute. And she was like, just sit on the couch. We're gonna put a pillow. And I. He was, like, so sleepy. And, like, he's still pretty. Pretty new. So he's not even very, like. Like, he doesn't cry. Like, he literally just sleeps all day. She basically said. So she placed him on my lap and. Oh, my God.

[Danielle Carolyn]

He just like.

[Brooke Michio]

Like, it was the cutest thing. Did it make me, like, want a child tomorrow? No. You know, some people are like, yeah. You know, not necessarily.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

But. Oh, my God, I just can't wait. Like, I feel so lucky that, you know, she's one of my good friends. And I'll be able to say, like, I held you when you were a week and a half, you know, And. And then her husband was like, ryan, I gotta see you hold this baby. And Ryan's like, no, no. Like, I. I shouldn't. And. But they were like, please. Like. So he sat down and held the baby.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Did he, like. Did he like doing it?

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

I don't know.

[Brooke Michio]

He was just kind of like, whoa. I think he was nervous, but it was.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

And then it started crying one.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Right. Oh. And.

[Brooke Michio]

But they were like, no, I think he's just ready for milk.

[Danielle Carolyn]

And it was being, like, passed around.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. It had been, like, an hour at this point. So. Yes. Held a baby. It was really nice. When we go to Georgia, we try to hit all the spots.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

I'm sure everybody.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, you have to see Ryan's Family.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

You have to see that.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like yeah, you have like your list.

[Brooke Michio]

Of like we've got all the things. So we, we got it all in and it was really lovely. Honestly. No notes. Went to Ryan's fraternity house which we hadn't done in a minute which was interesting because it was alumni weekend so that. But we honestly wasn't hitting like we stayed there for probably 30 minutes. It was sweaty.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You don't know the people anymore.

[Brooke Michio]

No, we don't know the people anymore. We just kind of hung out with all the alumni on the side of the house. There's probably like 40 of them. There was a lot of alumni there but it just like didn't hit. Met a lot of listeners though. And I was like do you go here? And they said yeah. Like I met freshmen at Georgia that listen to gals in the Go shout out. I think her name was Gracie specifically. I remember that one name.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Wow, that is so cool.

[Brooke Michio]

She was like, I forget. I don't know. There was a five year Georgia freshman girl. She loves listening to gals in the. Oh she was so cute and it was just so special.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh my God, I love that.

[Brooke Michio]

I know. It made me really happy to see some girls were like we went to the tangle teaser pop up because you and I was like you guys obsessed. So we still got reached with the college.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, it was effective market.

[Brooke Michio]

It made us really happy. So yeah that, that was my weekend. Really.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Vibes are up.

[Brooke Michio]

Vibe. We're so up.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, I mean well not really cuz dogs are down but like. Yeah, vibes are up though like. But I feel like you guys are like still doing good then. So are you guys, when you go to Georgia like for all these times do you stay at Ryan's parents house every time or you stay at like hotels nearby? Because I like the game for weddings.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Sorry.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh yeah, we'll stay at his house. Except for like once when I was a bridesmaid we like stayed at the hotel. But these next couple weddings. Yeah, we'll stay with them. So I was like see you guys soon.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh see. Literally see you soon.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, see you soon.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, that makes sense. I feel like it. That actually is a lot of like I feel like the travel like when we're talking about like destination weddings and stuff. Like what makes it add up a lot is I would feel like the hotel.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. So it's really nice that they and they like pick us up from the airport which is so nice. I know, I know. It's really, really so sweet. And a lot of times it's like we only see them for a, you know.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

Short amount of time, but very nice. So, yeah, I wish I had, like, funny stories, but it was just, you know, good old dogs weekend.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

[Brooke Michio]

How about you? I feel like you did so much. I wanna. Well, you did the engagement party, as we know.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, that was my. That was my Saturday. What did I do on Friday?

[Brooke Michio]

You went to Millennium.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh, my God. I did go to Millennium. Yeah. Well, you. Have you been to that venue, Pier 17? Oh, my God. Incredible.

[Brooke Michio]

Had you never been?

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

No.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke Michio]

Isn't it so beautiful?

[Danielle Carolyn]

It's so great. To be honest, like, I don't think anything on the lineup, like, really spoke to me like, so that, like.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, it's usually like, I saw Mount Joy there and Riley Green, a lot.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Of singer, songwriter type things, but they were like, hey, Millennium.

[Brooke Michio]

And they were like, wait, did Pier 17 reach out to you?

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, this was through sports illustration experiences. It wasn't Sports Illustrated. It's the Experience. What is that experience? They do, like, events, like, I guess they do activations.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You know, around certain things. The section was sick when you went. Did they have like a, like a loungy section in the front or were you able to like get it all the way up to the stage standing?

[Brooke Michio]

There was no loungey.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It might have been set up just for this then, because I think it was a Sports Illustrated experience. And it was like we had like, it was like the table section, which I felt very important.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, that's really cool.

[Danielle Carolyn]

But it was like I was like sitting down watching this concert, but like still in a meeting. Like, I was like, wow, like it's.

[Brooke Michio]

Next level now you're spoiled. Now you're gonna.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, I know. I was like, this is really nice. It was a lot more like aggressive than I remember.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Like.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, I feel like I just was like, oh, yeah, Lenny. I'm like concert. And I was like, whoa. Oh my God. Like that was really.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, I think I can think of like remixes I've heard with Lennyman. I like it, but I guess it is more a little like rare.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I'll play you some videos. I. I really am realizing, like when I tell people that I like electronic music, like, that's probably what they think of. Yeah, they probably think of that and I have to clear the air that like, it's not that like I needed to be like. I like house music. I think that's what it is. I like like that steady beat. I like the like music like the millennium stuff. It's hard to dance to because it's really just like.

[Brooke Michio]

Is it just beat drops?

[Danielle Carolyn]

It kind of is beat drops, but it's like not really a consistent beat.

[Brooke Michio]

Yes. You don't know what tricks are.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yes. So like house music at least you have like a little two step going.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, true.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Four by four or whatever. Because you know, I like to dance.

[Brooke Michio]

Yes. You're dancing.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I'm a dancer. I'm a dancer.

[Brooke Michio]

Did you bring Ben?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, we went. It was fun. We went to dinner before at this place called Crown Shy. It was a good place inside.

[Brooke Michio]

I don't know, like Seaporter. No. Yeah, that's so fun.

[Danielle Carolyn]

We just had like a nice city weekend and then we've been just on our health grind. We've been cooking, we've been back on our hello fresh and doing our healthy things. I'm like. My thing is, I'm like, if I'm here, I'm gonna like try to be in my not routine. But I'm like, totally. And then you save a lot of money when you don't do a food order delivery all the time. I'm really realizing that.

[Brooke Michio]

I know, it's like so true. Have you gotten over like leftovers? Like, can you.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, as long as I like the meal.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Like.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Leftovers are not exciting if it's like I didn't like it the first.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You know, then I really don't like it the second time, right?

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, it's true. It's like, if I'm not going crazy about it, you think I'm gonna like it microwaved.

[Danielle Carolyn]

What are you guys doing for me? Like, are you cooking?

[Brooke Michio]

Like, yeah, the last few weeks we've done like. Because again, Ryan will eat chicken and rice every day, but I don't want to do that. So I plan about three meals for the week for like five. You know, the weekends. No, no, that's Sunday nights, maybe. And then it just sucks because I just have to make so much. Like, I really love having leftovers for lunch because I hate making lunch. And it's just been such an issue because, like, he just eats it all. At the first time, you were tell.

[Danielle Carolyn]

The story about what he ordered at Chick Fil A. I don't know if we told that story. I was shocked.

[Brooke Michio]

That is so funny because it's just like, I'm so used. He's been doing that since I have met him.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, I'm usually Ryan. He's a bit like. And I say big guy, not as it like weight. Like he is a muscular, like. Yeah, I don't know how to like. It makes sense. No, I know. I saw your reaction. I shocked. It was crazy.

[Brooke Michio]

Was it the two sandwiches?

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

We pull up to Chick Fil A and we're ordering. And like, so first he goes, I'm gonna get two chicken sandwiches and an order of fries.

[Brooke Michio]

Right?

[Danielle Carolyn]

That's what he got.

[Brooke Michio]

Well, what he usually does. I don't know if this. He gets a chicken sandwich meal and then an extra chicken sandwich.

[Danielle Carolyn]

That's what it was. So it was like the chicken sandwich meal and then another chicken sandwich. And then he was like, okay, Brooke, what do you want? And I was like, oh, that wasn't.

[Brooke Michio]

For you and Danielle?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, like. And then he was like. And then he ordered yours. And I was just like, oh, whoa, you got two. And then I thought maybe once for later. Like, I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything at that point. But then we start eating in the car and you hand him his first sandwich and then you hand him the second sandwich. Maybe two, three minutes later. I was like, oh, he like, you just ate those back to back. Like, I forgot about that.

[Brooke Michio]

We had said that was when we went to Cape Cod. Yeah. We had so many drive through experiences.

[Danielle Carolyn]

And we didn't talk about it until like the next day. I was like, like, can we talk about the sandwich?

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, yeah. It's like, wow, that's like, so normal.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Isn't it funny?

[Brooke Michio]

What's so normal?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, the crazy.

[Brooke Michio]

No, I remember when we first started dating, he was like, I'll get two sandwiches. Because I was like, wait, sorry. Two sandwiches and the fries.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like, but it makes sense though, because he is like a. Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

And I guess, like, if you think about it, like, I'll get like the 12 count nugget a lot of times. That's a lot of chicken.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, and I'm not one to judge.

[Brooke Michio]

I'm not defending. I just. Because I've had the. These thoughts.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It was impressive. Just the speed at which it was consumed because I was like, oh, and he was driving. I was like, maybe an hour or two later, like, we have a long drive. Like, I could understand, like, getting hungry again.

[Brooke Michio]

Like, nope, just fueling up. That was so funny. Why, why do we start?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh, portion size.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You're talking about how you have to make big portions. So are you making like a lot of chicken? Like, is that how that goes?

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. Well, he goes, and I haven't sent you a picture. Oh, my God. On Sunday nights he goes and grills like, actually 12 chicken breasts, I think. And he just has it for his lunch, for work, and then also just have it for like, extra dinner stuff. If I didn't make dinner, but like, tonight I'm gonna make a chili. I'm gonna have to double the recipe, for sure. At least if I want some leftovers.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Double it up, Give it to the next person.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, double it up. Give it to the next person. I'll choose. Yeah, I know. Oh, there's so much. Did you see the. Well, I don't know why I would ask.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Wait, so how are you making, like. I understand what you're saying now. You have to use like a, like commercial sized pot.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

[Danielle Carolyn]

To cook for more, like for the two of you.

[Brooke Michio]

Exactly. Like, and that's the thing. It's not like I can even cook all the meat at once. It's like, I gotta do two rounds. And that's not him asking, that's me. Because I want leftovers. So sometimes he'll be like, is there any extra? I'm like, do you. Are you really hungry? He'll be like, I'll just have one of my chicken breasts. Like, that's why he makes this chicken. Thank God. Because sometimes, like, I really wanted that little bowl for dinner. Like for lunch tomorrow.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Does it ever make you think, how do families of like, six do it?

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, all the time.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I think literally all I do think about that all the time when I'm cooking for the two of us, and I'm like, there's no. I have no more pots and pans. Like, I'm out.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

I'm out.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I'm literally out. Like, also, because all of them are in use at once. Yes. When I'm doing hellofresh, I'm literally cooking mama. Like, I'm like, it's like, sizzling this. Cool this down. Add the salt everywhere. Help me with the sauce.

[Brooke Michio]

Final countdown. Literally.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Help me, sir, Stir. Because I was doing, like, I'm doing the rice and the protein, like, like, but then we got to make the tzatziki over there.

[Brooke Michio]

Like, did you know hellofresh really is fun, though, because you have it all. Like, at least you don't have to. I mean, I guess you chop it, but, like, I absolutely love it.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I have to be clear. The only issue that I have, but this is just because I'm like, I'm not a good chef. Is that it says 20 minutes. It takes me an hour.

[Brooke Michio]

No, yeah, it's definitely. It takes me about, like, I feel like 40 minutes. That was, like, an hour. I'm sure.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I was filming while I was doing.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, you're fair.

[Danielle Carolyn]

So I'm, like, getting the angles, like, talking and stuff. So, like, yes, yes.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. Yes. Let them, Let them.

[Danielle Carolyn]

But you know what I mean.

[Brooke Michio]

No, I know.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I'm like, 20 minute meal. Let's go. But it's.

[Brooke Michio]

Some people are.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Honestly, Ben could probably do it in 20 minutes. He's really fast at cutting. Like, if you're fast at chopping, I feel like then you're. I know.

[Brooke Michio]

Didn't we say we wanted to take chopping lessons?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, that's another thing. Improv is more important to me at the time.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, yeah, we really want to take him classes. The thing with improv, it's like, you have to. Of course, you guy. It's like every Wednesday night. The gals aren't here, everyone.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Maybe. Maybe we will be, though.

[Brooke Michio]

Should we get a private coach?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke Michio]

I think it's more fun, though, when.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You'Re in a class.

[Brooke Michio]

Other people and then you play all.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Those games, like, make some friends. I know.

[Brooke Michio]

Maybe we could pick up some friends along the way. Even though I'm kind of, like, not looking for any more friends, I've decided you.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You're at your max. I'm. I'm open. I've.

[Brooke Michio]

You're open to new friends?

[Danielle Carolyn]

I'm. For a while, I was like, no, I'm closed. And, like, you know, Something. People fall off.

[Brooke Michio]

Like, things change in your 20s.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I think now there's been some new openings. Not like that anything happened.

[Brooke Michio]

No drama. No drama.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I just feel like things shift. Like, I. Yeah. Also live far away from a lot of my friends.

[Brooke Michio]

So, like, some friends are moving, some.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Friends are, you know, like, things shift. And then it's like, okay, well, I've got two spots if anybody wants them.

[Brooke Michio]

I've got two local Brooklyn spots.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Manhattan.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I know. Truly.

[Brooke Michio]

No, you. You should have, like, someone that, like, for a walk or, like, meet at Body Rock that I. I get that.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I have some people in the neighborhood that I know that I've gone on, like, one off walks with, but I'm like, can this be a regular thing? Like, how do you get to that point?

[Brooke Michio]

I know you should just, like, say, like, oh, my God, we should, like, do this.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's so awkward. Like, I'm like, I want to upgrade this friendship to a weekly basis.

[Brooke Michio]

Now you've been promoted. No, I do know what you mean. But sometimes I think, like, maybe they're also thinking of it. They don't want to be annoying.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, I'm definitely annoying. Because there's. I'll tell you who after. There's this one girl who I know lives in my area, and I've been DMing her, and she'll reply like, every time I DM, because I'm like, I know you're my neighbor. Please hang out with me. I know you're my neighbor. Please hang out with me. Like, why not?

[Brooke Michio]

Why not? Like, we would be such good friends. No, I get like that. Yeah, I know we'd get along. Like, I'm like, no, let's hang out.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Let's hang out. That's the thing. And I'm like, I'm on your close friends. Like, I. It's like I have some indication that, like, your friends. But I think that some people, I do get that, like, I'm not the best with dms either.

[Brooke Michio]

And, like, no, you're not.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, I'm not on. Honestly. But honestly, something like that, I wouldn't be the best with either. Because I'd be like, I'm not gonna answer till I'm ready to hang out with her. So, like, I do get it. Right. I'll defend these people.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, that's nice.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You know, maybe they're, like, busy this week. I'll get back to work next week, you know?

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. Or maybe you need to go get over to the texting side because DMs get lost for me, especially planning stuff like, but wait till she replies. Actually, here's my. But sometimes here's my number. So scary because they gotta text you, then, like, you don't have their number. But I feel like I would do.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I actually tried this with someone else too, recently, who I know, like, kind of lives near me. I was like, hey, this is my address. And they were like, awesome.

[Brooke Michio]

I was like, this is where you.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I was like, no, where do you live? Like, tell me your address. Like, I don't know. Is that weird?

[Brooke Michio]

No, it's not. Like, I. I don't know why all of a sudden people are like, weird.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like, this is someone that I know. Like, it's not someone that I don't know. Like, in that case, like, I'm not trying to, like, get your address, but.

[Brooke Michio]

Like, I'm trying to look it up on street easy. Like, just.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I mean, maybe I am. Like, I'm. I'm giving you my information first. Like, that's why I'm like, I'm leading with, like, vulnerability. Here's.

[Brooke Michio]

Here's my. Now you do me hers. Like, my mom will pick you up if your mom drops us off.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Exactly. Exactly.

[Brooke Michio]

Completely agree. I. I mean, I'm. I'm always in there. I love that. You tagged me in Jazz's Tick Tock the other day about being nosy. I was like, yeah, that's me too. Like, she posted a Tick Tock saying, like, she's just always gonna ask you, like, where are you going? Or, what are you doing? Like, yep, that's me too. Like, I'm so incredibly nosy. Like, I can't help it.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I. I also think that sometimes it, you know, if you're like, something big is coming, you're literally asking for it.

[Brooke Michio]

Like, I'm just gonna ask you.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, or like, yeah. Or like a, you know, a picture of your passport, and it's like, okay, well, like, you're. You're asking.

[Brooke Michio]

No. You know, I don't know why we all do this, especially with, like, brand trips and stuff. We're always, like, weird about, like, where, you know, it's like, oh, guys, like, I'm going somewhere this weekend. Any guesses? Like, why do we do that?

[Danielle Carolyn]

I think you do that. I. I don't.

[Brooke Michio]

I don't say any guesses. I used to.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yes. Used to.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, my God, I used to. But now I'm like, like, literally today I was like, so I. I'm going to ACL with Timo. I could wait to post, you know, When I'm there. But I was like. And they sent this cute little box. I was like, I'll say I'm going. Yeah. But I feel like some people are like, where am I headed? And I 100% used to do that.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

Or. Or I will say, like, you could definitely tell where I'm headed based off of my gear or, like, what I want.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like, I'm bringing ski goggles. Where could I be going?

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, no, I don't. I'll call myself out. I definitely do that sometimes. But I'm saying, like, why do we do that? Like, why do I do that?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Because it's your job to keep people engaged. And I guess it does definitely. Like, because then again, people are nosy, so they're like, where's she going? So they want to tune back in and check. I actually think that that's, like, being good at your job. But I think that as a consumer, it's also like, okay, just tell me. Like, I don't know.

[Brooke Michio]

Just, like, just tell me.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, literally, I just want to know.

[Brooke Michio]

No, I know. I don't know. I'm just. Food for thought. Lmao.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. Well, also, like, for something, like, not that acl, like, that's a very exciting trip.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

But I think, like, it has to warrant the level of, like, excitement for it. You know what I mean? Like, if you're going upstate, like, I don't want to be like, guess where I'm headed.

[Brooke Michio]

Like, it's family union.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. Like, you're literally going for a one hour drive upstate. Like, I don't know, like, I want. It needs to be worth the hype at least.

[Brooke Michio]

I am excited, though. The gals are going upstate for Katie Must say Kitty's wedding weekend.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I thought you were going to say Katie's wake. That's the what I heard coming. I was like, what?

[Brooke Michio]

No, but we are doing. And I'm only saying this because I heard her say it on their podcast, Match Made, that she's doing, like, a murder mystery thing, which would be so fun. I'm waiting to find out what the theme is of the murder mystery game. And then we get to find out our characters.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Because I was told the theme.

[Brooke Michio]

You've been told the theme.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I was told the theme at your birthday party.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, my God.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, I can. I don't know if I can't.

[Brooke Michio]

No. Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Big things coming.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. Can't.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

Then you feel like you don't want.

[Danielle Carolyn]

To disclose any guesses.

[Brooke Michio]

Katie's motorist. Oh, my God. This is going to. Wow. Well, hopefully I'll find out soon.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, you will. I mean, unless you change your mind.

[Brooke Michio]

No, no, I'm sure this was.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I didn't even ask. She was just yapping.

[Brooke Michio]

That's so nice. Yeah, it was so nice, the alcohol. She decided to tell.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. No, because it was like, oh, I'm so excited for her. You know, Know, like the.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, my God. So there'll be a theme and so we'll get to dress up.

[Danielle Carolyn]

We will get assigned characters in.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, that's really exciting. I'm. I'm pumped. Because honestly, her. That weekend is Halloween weekend, so I don't think other than on Gals on the go. Don't you guys worry. We will be dressing up for our annual Halloween dress up episode that we started last year. But I don't think I have any costumes.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I feel fine about that. How do you feel about that?

[Brooke Michio]

I feel, like, okay about it, but. But not nothing to do with Katie, because, like, there could be still something. Like, I feel like people do, like, both. Yeah. Even though this year, I guess Halloween's on a Friday.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I'm sure, like Thursday night, something could be going on. Yeah, maybe.

[Brooke Michio]

Well, because right. For the first time ever, Ryan said, what are we being for Halloween this year? I was like, really? The one year we're not gonna be dressing up together. I don't know. I had to just think about it.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Because he wanted to her. Because he was planning.

[Brooke Michio]

Ryan planning. I don't know, he was kind of curious. He was like, what do you have in mind? You always have something in mind. I was like, oh, my God. I actually don't have anything in mind this year. So I'm excited to dress up for Katie's murder mystery thing. It'll be so fun.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

The cooler days are here and we're layering up. That's what I'm doing at least. I feel like I. I can't just wear a sweater. Like, I gotta wear the long sleeve underneath the sweater. I want it to, like, look cute. And especially living in New York City, I feel like you always gotta wear layers because, like, sometimes you gotta peel off a layer. Right. And my go to is quince for these daily quality essentials that are cozy, they look refined, and they won't blow your budget. I'm trying to not, like, break the bank this season of Life.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Because they're like, all waiting for it.

[Brooke Michio]

They're like, oh, my God, party as usual.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

A couple friends, like, mention it and they were like, because one friend is coming up from Georgia that weekend. And my friend was like, oh, well, we can maybe bring her to case. Like, it's not happening. Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You're like, better find another plan, girl.

[Brooke Michio]

Katie's gonna be so flattered. That really is like a bank on.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Killer of like the New York City. Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

But this is like, it's her 30th birthday. It makes so much sense. We're gonna like, it's gonna be such a special weekend. I'm so excited.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I love a birthday trip.

[Brooke Michio]

I know.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Decided.

[Brooke Michio]

It's so fun. Maybe you'll do one next year. The past few years for your Birthday. I'm like, you're giving me nothing small.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I know. Because I'm waiting for 30.

[Brooke Michio]

Okay.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I really am, like, kind of like, I don't like it, so I don't need to make it a big, big thing. Every, like, I feel like 25 had.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

A big thing, and.

[Brooke Michio]

Yes.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Okay. And now I'm kind of like, 30 will be my next big thing. No.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah, no, yeah, totally.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Things coming. We also, like, like, one thing about the guys. Like, we. We're always celebrating something.

[Brooke Michio]

No, totally.

[Danielle Carolyn]

That's the thing. We live our life in perpetual celebration. So, like, I don't feel undervalued, like.

[Brooke Michio]

No, I know. I think just as your friend.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, it's very nice.

[Brooke Michio]

Best friends. It stresses me out because, like, you were in Florida and I'm getting messages. What are you doing for Brooke's birthday? I'm like, I am literally not in the same state as her.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like, oh, my gosh. I feel like I just am. Like, what about What? Like, what do I want to do?

[Brooke Michio]

No, and that's what you should. Like, you were like, I just want to go home or go to Florida and, like, chill.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Chill.

[Brooke Michio]

Like, that's all you wanted. But I don't know. I remember texting, like, how's your birthday? Yeah, it's good.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Literally just sitting by the floor. It was nice with my parents.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Having a good time.

[Brooke Michio]

Okay. So two years from. So not this coming April, but April. But then won't you be like, maybe.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like, in your bridal era, 100 that cool. Is going to be. Send it a lot of, like, maybe.

[Brooke Michio]

Then it's like, birthday batch.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. Like, I feel like there's things that you do then at that hour of your life.

[Brooke Michio]

Yes. There's things.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Things.

[Brooke Michio]

There's totally things.

[Danielle Carolyn]

But we have so, like, we have our live shows. We have, like, events. Like, I just think we're always doing something, like, big. No, I don't.

[Brooke Michio]

So lucky.

[Danielle Carolyn]

So maybe, like, celebrating each other. We feel the lack. But, yeah, everybody else in my life, I feel like they're always at a party of mine. You know what I mean? No, totally.

[Brooke Michio]

We always have something going on where we're taking photos. Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You were just at my party. Like, what one?

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

I have to think back.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I'm like, oh, after the live show. Yeah, we have.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

Gals, throw down.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yes.

[Brooke Michio]

Whatever. Oh, we have to quickly mention thank you to everyone who came to our community event, our workout.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh, my God, it was so fun. Thank you, guys. And a lot of fomo, I think. So next time we need to make sure that there's a bigger capacity and stuff.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

People were like, we do two sessions or something.

[Brooke Michio]

Not on the same day. Like, no. And I were. So if you guys didn't see. We did a Soto Method workout at the Soto Method studio in Tribeca. Was so fun. Like, packed, packed house. Everyone was ready to work out. It was so fun. But obviously, naturally, Brooke and I were seated in the front because, you know, we wanted everyone to, you know, be engaged with us, whatever. Oh, my God, though, towards the end, I was struggle busing, and I was.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Struggling in the beginning, but it was a tough. You think it's like this cutesy little lightweight class. It kicks your ass.

[Brooke Michio]

No, we were all dying.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

So it was funny. It was, like, a good bonding thing, though.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No, it was great.

[Brooke Michio]

But then what did someone at the studio said? I've never heard so many woo woos coming out of the studio in my life. I was like, oh, my God, that was me.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Danielle started it, like, two minutes in.

[Brooke Michio]

And she was like.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

We were, like, holding a po.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like a plank or something.

[Brooke Michio]

And you were like, woo, let's do this. Because I think about, like, soul Cycle and stuff, you'll like, everyone kind of woo. But I guess at Soda Method, they don't usually do that. But I was like, no, it fits.

[Danielle Carolyn]

The vibe of the class. Then I was like, oh, okay, I'll. I'll do this.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. You were wooing. Everyone started to, like, let it happen. Yeah. Because Brooke and I were like, you know, how do we. We want to, like, talk to everyone. Which I think we definitely talked to everyone before or after the class, took photos, some sweaty selfies. It was amazing. But it's like during the class, we're like, oh, my God. Like, how can we, like, talk? So we were like, how's everyone doing?

[Danielle Carolyn]

How's everybody doing out there?

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah. And the music was great. It was like, your music, Mine.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah, it was wonderful. I mean, I think it's just cool that we can do events like that. That doesn't have to be a show. Yeah, people really show up and, like, just want to hang. Like, I think they literally were like, hi, girls.

[Brooke Michio]

And then, like, it was so chill.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like, it was so chill. Everybody was just awesome. We had amazing goodie bags. I feel like, like, this is something that we can do.

[Brooke Michio]

This is something we can do for sure. Like, I could even see this being a thing where, like, we do go to other cities and do stuff like this.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Like, 100 Chicago. They would love it.

[Brooke Michio]

We'll Be back. I mean, it'd be so cool if we did like trying to think, like if you guys ever have any ideas of things, you know, or if you.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Have a business or something, like, please, like, if you're like, oh my God, come to my pottery shop in Atlanta. Like, we'll be there.

[Brooke Michio]

I'm so down. I wish there was like a huge dry bar. We could like get blowouts. Can you imagine, like wreck the power outage, like all the, the blow dryers going.

[Danielle Carolyn]

They didn't. We weren't invited to that, like master class. They did, but it was like they like you were taught to like, do your own blowout. Like kind of a cool concept.

[Brooke Michio]

That's really cool. No, I. I will forever be salty.

[Danielle Carolyn]

100%.

[Brooke Michio]

Should we talk about it really quick?

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah.

[Brooke Michio]

Guys, there was literally. I'm sorry, I'm going to talk about it. There was a dry bar brand trip. Wait for it. At the one hotel in South Beach. Gals didn't catch that invite. And I, I don't think we call out brands law.

[Danielle Carolyn]

But that, that one hurt to Danielle Garland. 100% should have been on the list.

[Brooke Michio]

No, you too.

[Danielle Carolyn]

That we both should. Because we have been single handedly dry bar apologists out here forever.

[Brooke Michio]

And now all of a sudden people are like, oh, actually dry bar is good.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. No, even we've been here, we've been through the trenches. Like, even when they were like, you know, taking hit after hit, we were like, no, guys. So good. It's worth it. It's worth it. You go back, try again.

[Brooke Michio]

You just have to be specific. Like, no, seriously, like we. I remember at Georgia, like, we'd go to the one in Atlanta when we'd go to Texas, like on the weekends for the style Con. I remember we went to Driver. Like, we've been going and so.

[Danielle Carolyn]

No. And then everybody was. The only thing that I was able to like justify it in my head that I was invited is because it was like kind of like, do your own hair. And we.

[Brooke Michio]

No. Yeah. They didn't even get the blots.

[Danielle Carolyn]

And we don't really.

[Brooke Michio]

No, we, we don't. We go to the dry bar. We don't really use the.

[Danielle Carolyn]

We do actually.

[Brooke Michio]

I use their dry bar curling iron. I feel like you have some of their.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh, I love the. That's actually the one like clamp that I can use.

[Brooke Michio]

Oh, yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

For some reason, because it like.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

You know what I'm saying?

[Brooke Michio]

Yes, I do. I don't have that one. But I know what you're Talking about.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. Even though I don't know why they don't deserve the praise.

[Brooke Michio]

No, I. No, you're right. We get our hair done. We don't do our hair.

[Danielle Carolyn]

And they were trying to promote. It was like, hair girlies that, like.

[Brooke Michio]

No hair tutorials and no shade. Honestly, everyone that was on the trip, it made sense.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Sense, Totally. No, they were all like, beauty girls. Like that. Honestly, a bomb hair. Like, it made perfect sense.

[Brooke Michio]

But, like, yeah, add us. It was when. Then I saw. It was at the one hotel I was like, oh. And then actually, driveboard didn't DM us. Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh. Because I commented.

[Brooke Michio]

Yeah.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I forget what you saw. I, like, tagged you. I was like, literally, us in a trip.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Yes.

[Brooke Michio]

Yes. And then they immediately DM'd us. But I don't know if anything ever came about that. But, you know, we still. We both still go to the dry bar.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

I know.

[Brooke Michio]

You just went in Texas.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I went. I went like, 30 minutes out of my way to go to that dry bar. I was like, no. You know, everybody's having people come to their room to do their hair. I'm gonna go out of my way to go to try it.

[Brooke Michio]

Because we love drive. It's just this, like, nostalgic dry bar cookies. If, you know. You know, never forget when I was about to pass out, so I ate the cookies. You know, there's just all these things. So we love you, dry bar. Just saying, next trip, we're there. Okay.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Yeah. For the stock experience. For the bar trip where they.

[Brooke Michio]

Dry bar spa. I love it. Well, they do your own.

[Danielle Carolyn]

I could use dry bar after this. I'm sweating so much. I'm not gonna lie. Like. Like, it's. Am I okay?

[Brooke Michio]

No. My. My pits are moist. My back is wet, so don't worry.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Once again, if you work for a deodorant brand, the last time this happened, someone sent me samples because they were like, please try our deodorant. Because that's.

[Brooke Michio]

They're like, let's get Brooke better. No more sweat stains for Brooke. Oh, gosh. Well, thank you guys so, so much for listening. This was a very fun chat. Per usual.

[Danielle Carolyn]

So much fun.

[Brooke Michio]

I get so excited to sit down here with you.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Me too. Wait, I just realized, also, is that brown or is that maroon as the color?

[Brooke Michio]

It's brown.

[Danielle Carolyn]

Oh. I was gonna say if it was maroon, then we were like, oh, my.

[Brooke Michio]

It does. Like, we could say it's maroon. So we tied in. I do think it's brown.

[Danielle Carolyn]

It does look. I like, but I like this top a lot. Thank you.

[Brooke Michio]

It's from Reformation, which I don't shop there a lot. I know you do, but I saw Katie Fawn was wearing this and I had to have it.

[Danielle Carolyn]
