Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Vision Board Event & Community Connection

• The gals reflect on a recent vision board community event, expressing gratitude for the chance to connect in person.

  “It was just so fun to just sit down and be like, ‘hey, is this seat taken?’ Like, chat with the girls while they were doing it.” (03:44)

2. Social Comparison and Therapy

• Discussion around how social media creates illusions of perfect relationships and fosters comparison.
• Both credit therapy for helping manage comparison and relationship-related pressures.
  “Therapy helps you really, like, find your way and determine, like, what you want, what feels right, and really helps you, like, take pressure off yourself.” (04:56) – Brooke

  “Sometimes… things are better left unsaid.” (09:13) – Brooke

4. Preparedness & Type-A Tendencies

• Brooke shares her newfound commitment to always being prepared—packed toiletry bags, regular self-care, and an organized home.
  “Always be prepared. Because then you’ll never feel, like, unprepared, just in life in general.” (11:28)

• Danielle supports the idea; both agree every host should know their guest room's flaws.
  “Every host should know what their guest room is like, that’s kind of where it stemmed from.” (14:47) – Brooke

6. The Troubles of Homeownership

• Danielle’s ongoing saga with home repairs: a crack in the bathroom ceiling that turns into a leaking pipe from the upstairs neighbor.
  “We then called the handyman up again and he was like, yeah, no, this is like, there’s a leak upstairs.” (20:15)
• Frustrations over insurance, building settling, and learning the unglamorous side of buying property.

• Danielle recaps a double bachelorette in Cancun (two brides):

  • Funny moments as everyone at the resort assumes the brides are marrying each other.
  • “Everybody thought they were getting married. Everybody from the hotel employees… wishing you congratulations on your happy ever after.” (23:28)
  • Activities: boat day with photographer, themed nights (e.g., "salt and lime" in yellow and green, "send new nudes" in neutrals).
  • On party favors: both are not fans of oversized cutouts of the groom’s face.
    “This is a girls trip. Why are the guys here?” (24:57) – Danielle

• Preference for all-inclusive resorts for bachelorettes: simplifies logistics, creates a relaxed vibe, has built-in options for food and activities.
  “Highly, honestly, highly recommend all inclusive for it because… you don’t have to think about a lot of logistics.” (39:22)

8. Themes, Control, and Planning Style

• Subtle differences in how much control each wants over her own future bachelorette.
• Danielle: wants to know themes, but doesn't need to dictate every detail; more concerned with agenda and free time.

  • “Oh, you're chiller than I thought. I. I would really pick all the themes. Yes.” (35:32)

9. The Coco Bongo Experience

• Danielle shares being chosen (somewhat against her will) to join the Macarena onstage.
• On group dynamics: the creation of “girls trip” inside jokes and group chats that persist afterward.

  • Danielle: Rare Beauty upstate, Club Med in the Dominican Republic. Looking forward to Selena Gomez appearances (“You’ll be meeting Selena again.” (41:44))

Tone & Vibe

Warm, self-deprecating, witty, and deeply relatable—like an hour of girl talk with your best friends. Both hosts are genuine, bounce off each other’s stories, and invite listeners to laugh at life’s messiness and feel at home with their insecurities and “red alert” moments.

---

Key Takeaways

• It’s okay to be Type-A and want to “control the vibe”—you’re not alone!
• Don’t trust Instagram highlights. Comparison is natural but not always useful—therapy helps.
• Don’t overthink guest room hosting—sleep in it yourself first!
• Bachelorette parties can be stress-free (thanks, all-inclusives) and don’t require “groom’s face” props unless you’re into that.
• Homeownership sounds glamorous until your ceiling caves in.
• Life is more fun when you say 'yes'—try spontaneous travel, dressing like Mel Robbins, or just joining friends for the Macarena at midnight.

[A]

[B]

Yeah. I feel like we don't always get the chance to get on the podcast to talk about these events, so be sure to be following us on the Instagram. That's where we post. And it was just so special because we got to, like, have such amazing, genuine conversations. Like, I felt like we knew so many people's names by the end of it. We're like, oh, yeah, you're. You're in the Upper west side. Oh, yeah, you work here. Like, we were just both, like, kind of going around. I did not end up making a vision board. I should have assumed.

[A]

Like, I really went into it thinking I was going to.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

There was too much to chat about.

[A]

I know, but it was so great. We, like, actually got to just, like, sit and connect with everybody, and I feel. I mean, that's what we want to do more of. So definitely more of those to come.

[B]

More of those. Like, I just. It felt so right. Like, it was just so fun to just sit down and be like, hey, is this seat taken? Like, chat with the girls while they were doing it. And I'm like, oh, I'll be right back. I'm gonna get another glass of wine. Like, it was just such a great time. So thank you all so much for coming where already our wheels are turning on, like, what we want to do next, so. And we do like, the idea, of course, of going to other cities as well. So just.

[A]

Just know that coming to your city near you. Melrose.

[B]

Yeah. Melro left them.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I feel like she'd be like rock and roll. I don't know. We love Mel. We're very mal influenced. Malware.

[A]

This episode is sponsored by Better Help. As an outsider, it's so easy to, like, look at someone else's love life, like their. Their marriage or their relationship on Instagram. I feel like there's a lot of. A lot of that going on.

[B]

We do that all the time, know.

[A]

And it's so easy to, like, see it and be like, oh, my gosh, this literally looks perfect.

[B]

I know.

[A]

Meanwhile, we all have our struggles.

[B]

Like, 100. There's so many things happening that you don't even know about, but you just see, like, the perfect little parts.

[A]

Totally. And no matter where you are in your romantic journey. I know when I was single, I was just, like, struggling a lot with, like, the comparison. And not that it's, like, any different now, but it's like, it's different.

[B]

I guess it is different.

[A]

Yeah. And I feel like therapy really has, like, helped me through that because I feel like therapy helps you really, like, find your way and determine, like, what you want, what feels right, and really helps helps you, like, take pressure off yourself in the relationship sense.

[B]

Therapy is literally amazing. Like, I. I just want every single person in our life that wants to do therapy to do it because it's so accessible. Obviously, we love Better Help for that, but it's just this amazing thing where you're talking to someone that's not involved in your life at all. You're telling them all, like, everything that you're worried about, and they just kind of lay it out for you. It's really lovely.

[A]

And we love Better Help because you can do it from home. You can do it from the comfort. I do therapy from bed personally. That's my safe space.

[B]

Yes, I did that the other day.

[A]

It's. It's so great because you can do it, like, on the phone or you can do, like, a video. Ch. That, like, Better Help is just so great. You actually get quality therapists because the Better Help therapists work according to a strict code of conduct and are fully licensed in the US and also, like, finding a therapist, I feel like, is very challenging. I know you and I have both, like, struggled with that. And maybe for me, I've, like, kind of stumbled along the way, maybe found some that weren't the best fit. But Better Help actually does the initial matching work for you so that you can focus on your therapy goals. And if you aren't happy with your match, which, you know, I feel like that happens sometimes. In therapy, like you gotta find your way. Right. You can switch to a different therapist and at any time from their tailored wrecks. And there are over 30,000. Yes. Therapists. Better Help is the world's largest online therapy platform having served over 6 million people globally. They're amazing. We love Better Help.

[B]

Speaking of people, I look like I had like a panic happen the other day to that I just had to tell you this story. Okay. So I was on a walk with Virgin and Danielle and who are twins. So beautiful. Obviously obsessed. I like hadn't been in public with them in a while. They get recognized like every five seconds. Really? Like every like I feel like we see them at events and stuff and we had been texting whenever like okay, let's just meet up for a walk. Cuz I live near them. Whatever. We're walking around.

[A]

Yeah, I feel like they're always on the go to.

[B]

They're always just walking. Like I. Anytime I want to hang out with them. It's like I feel like you just got to walk. They love to walk.

[A]

Like where did you walk to?

[B]

Like laughing man, coffee. And then we just walked around. Whatever. But anyways, we're walking around and this one girl came up to them out of many taking a photo and the mom that her mom was with her and she was like, oh, you guys look like each other. Or she said something, you guys look like. And then I think I was standing, you know, I'm like the friend.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

You know, we deal with this, not deal with this a lot of times. Like you know, if it's me, Brooke and a couple other influencer friends, maybe they know just Brooke and I and so. Or whatever. Or vice versa.

[A]

Most of. The.

[B]

Most of the time it's opposite like oh yeah, you know my friend Bridget. Yes. You like, it's like, it's kind of funny. You kind of stand to the side and you're like, okay, I don't really know if this girl wants to take a photo with me or who. Like it's awkward. So I was just kind of saying to the side. I was like, oh, go girls. Like I love it. I'm so happy for them and all the success. And then the mom, I think like maybe felt bad for me or whatever. She goes, you know. And you Cuz she's like, you guys look like this. She goes, you know, you, you look like Renee Zellweger.

[A]

Who is that?

[B]

What even. She's like, have you gotten that one before? And Bridget and Dan are like, oh, who's that? And I'm like, I don't. I'd heard the name. I looked her up. I don't want to be ageist or anything.

[A]

She's a lot older than. Really?

[B]

Yeah, she's looking right now. Just turn it around.

[A]

Look, look. No, she's.

[B]

She's a mother, you know.

[A]

Oh my God, Danielle. No. Like, you also like, there's so many other people. Like Ariana Maddox. Way more.

[B]

I get Ariana Maddox. I got Graceman Patton recently. That was fun, wasn't? She was like, you look like Renee Zellweger. And I was like, you know what? This is a mom.

[A]

This is a mom. Thick glasses on.

[B]

No, I didn' literally, but I was like so pale, no makeup on, like I was feeling ugly as it was. And the twins are just so beautiful.

[A]

And what do they say that they look like? They're like, you guys look.

[B]

Well, I think they were like, you look like, like, I think she was saying her daughter looked like them or something. It was like, oh my God.

[A]

Beautiful women.

[B]

Yeah, that's what, that's what it was. You look like the twins. You could be a triplet.

[A]

I think it was that.

[B]

Then she goes, and you, you're like Renee Z.

[A]

Sometimes it's not like I think that people don't understand that the celebrity look alike thing. Like, sometimes things are better left unsaid.

[B]

I have learned that I. I one time said to Brooke, I was like, this one girl looks like her. And Brooke was like, do not tell me.

[A]

Yeah, I think she may be offended, but I don't know. Then. Then again, no.

[B]

But yeah, you gotta pick and choose. But no, the mom was seriously so sweet and like, that's why I was.

[A]

Like, I don't know.

[B]

Do I tell the story? But I think it was funny.

[A]

That's really.

[B]

She was coming from a good place. I think she was trying to include me on the combo. She probably doesn't even know who Arian Addicts is.

[A]

So she was fair. Renee Zellweger? Yeah. You're like, of course Renee.

[B]

She was like, do you get that? I was like, no, I don't know. So then me, Bridget looked it up after and I was like, oh my.

[A]

God, that's really funny. Oh my God. Into the twins that she's like Margot Robbie.

[B]

Three of You Margot Robbie, like, yes. So that was quite. I literally wrote it down. I was like, I can't wait to tell Brooke.

[A]

Funny. That's a really good one. Wow.

[B]

Yeah, it was a good giggle.

[A]

Good. She got you.

[B]

Yeah. Good thing I've got a sense of humor. Right.

[A]

Were you, like, taking the pictures of them, like, when they would get stopped? Like, were you like, oh, I'll take a photo.

[B]

Most people, like, we're, like, taking selfies. Honestly. I offered. I was like, do you want me to take. Yeah.

[A]

Renee.

[B]

No, I can hold your coats. You know.

[A]

Thanks.

[B]

It was so crazy. Like, we'd be driving, girls were like, I love Fifi. Like, from across. No. Wild.

[A]

Oh, my God. Out of the car.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's crazy.

[B]

I was like, where did that come from? Yeah, like, I think a car, so.

[A]

Oh, my God, they are so, like, recognizable.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Two blonde, like, twins, like, walking down the road, like. Yeah.

[B]

I mean, models.

[A]

Yeah. I would love to, like, see, like, a survey of, like, women, like, let's just say, like, 21 to 35 in New York City. Like, pull if they know Bridget and Danielle.

[B]

Oh, I feel like, def. Like, even, like, when I was walking with them, I was like, I feel like people are walking by that know them that, like.

[A]

Yes. But I'm just curious, like, just people who maybe don't even, like, consume a ton of content. Like, but. But, like, I'm curious, like, what percentage of people. I think it would be really high is the thing.

[B]

Yeah. If you're going women in New York City with. For sure. And I love that for them. They're so iconic and they're crushing it. So it was just. Oh, the funniest thing. I feel like we have so much to talk about with you because. Oh, my God, you've been a gal on the go. Dare I say.

[A]

I would say so, too. That's like. Do you feel. I feel very blessed, like, with, like, our life. But I feel like I'll be like, I have literally no plans. And then all of a sudden, like, things just, like, come and they come and they come and I feel very, like, blessed that it's very much so. Like, like, that I'm actually trying to be more. I saw a tick tock about this that was kind of like, always be prepared. Oh. Because then you'll never feel, like, unprepared, just in life in general. Like, always be, like, taking care of your, like, keeping up with your appearance, like, if that makes you feel good, like, whatever those things are. This is, like, so deep. But I actually like, kind of started, like, implementing this policy in my life, like, last, like, October. October, specifically that month.

[B]

Brooke woke up prepared.

[A]

Yeah, I was. I, like, now I'm prepared.

[B]

Like, in the sense of, like, bags are packed. Like, your toiletry bags are packed always. Or, like, I mean, mentally.

[A]

Just, like, I don't, like, necessarily shop for occasions that, like, don't, like, exist. But I'll, like, you know, be like, okay, like, I have. Yeah. I mean, not necessarily travel ready even, but maybe, like, working out. Like, just, like, feeling good. Because I feel like, okay. I love that something will come up and I'll be like, oh, shoot, I only have two weeks. Like, I gotta, like, get my together. And I hate that feeling of being, like, just like, not confident, not whatever. So I'm like, no, I'm gonna, like, start, like, taking care of myself, like, feeling good. Like, so I always feel good.

[B]

I love that.

[A]

Does that make sense?

[B]

100. No, I really, really like that. I feel like. And I feel like January is a really good time to do that. I've been, like, in the same kind of idea, like, preparing my home, like, nesting, you know? I love January. No, you really. I'm not pregnant or anything. I just love, like, for me, it is like. Like prepping. Like, I was just the other day refilling up all my toiletry bags, so all my minis are.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

So if something comes up, I'm ready to go. And that has come in handy. I've gotta go next week. Or just like, little things like that. Or just organizing every part of your home so that when life gets busier, you're like, oh, I know where those socks are. Or I know that, you know, the coat closet is organized. Or.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Where the suitcases. Or like you said, not even with travel, though. Just kind of like, maintaining. I feel like it's a really great mindset. Yeah, I like that a lot.

[A]

Yeah, for me, it's like a confidence thing. I feel like. Like keeping up. Like, I'll just, like, go a while without. Like, I don't like, dude. Even, like, small things, doing my self tan, like, getting my eyebrows done, whatever. Like, things that I push off. Like, I feel so good when I stay on top of those things. Like, I really do. I'm like, that's like such a positive investment in myself that, I mean, I can do most of those things. I dye my eyebrows at home. I do the self tan. Like, I.

[B]

Why?

[A]

I could just do it, you know?

[B]

Yeah. No, why not just do it? I know I'm really with the self Tan stuff. Like, today I was pale all day, and I just. I just. I just decided tonight to wear, like, a higher top and wear my darker foundation. But, like, it doesn't match the rest of my body, but it. It's also because I'm, like, doing a tan tomorrow, but there. There have to be a couple ugly days.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. Wait. Can I ask a question, though, also about, like, preparing your home and stuff? Because I. I mean, I'm. We're, like, in right now. Ben moved out of his childhood home, so he has, like, a lot of his, like, child. Like, we're just, like. It's a mess. I'm not gonna lie. But that's just. Whatever. I want to ask you about your guest bedroom, because you slept in there.

[B]

Oh, I wrote that down to talk about.

[A]

Okay. Like, why. Like, when you did that, I was like, this is so like Danielle and Ryan. But, like, why? Like, you know me. I'm like. Like, you have the bed in the other room. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Literally after our last conversation. Yeah, well. But I feel like you would also relate to this, and your mom would agree. It's like, every host should know what their guest room is. Like, that's kind of where it stemmed from.

[A]

Like, yes, yes, yes.

[B]

I've heard this. Where, you know, it would be good to sleep in your. If you have a guest bed, just sleep in it. Kind of experience it as the guest would so that you can change anything.

[A]

What. What were the. The conclusions?

[B]

Well, so, yes, then we mentioned it. Ryan's like, wait, we totally should. And then we were literally going to bed. We had talked about it. We were like, oh, we should do that sometime. We were going to bed, and it was, like, a long weekend. It was a Sunday night. And Ryan was like, I just got an idea. I was like, what? He goes, two words. And I go, murphy bed. And he said, yeah. So we literally, like, sleepover. So we went to sleep, and there's two issues with it. One, the drawer, I put the comforter. I wash the comforter and the sheets every time. I don't skip my guests. Everything's washed, not even the comforter.

[A]

I.

[B]

The drawer, I put it in. In the Murphy bed because there's, like, storage has, like, this weird new smell, but not a good new smell. And so the comforter smells awful. And, like, Ryan couldn't really smell it, but I'm so sensitive to smell. I was like, oh, my God, if all of our guests have been sleeping with this, like, that's terrible. So I got things to put in the drawers. To make it smell better. The other thing is it's squeaky. The bed's squeaky. Like, literally anytime you roll or move, it makes a noise. Yeah. I mean, which. To like, that. Like, it woke me up in the middle of night. Like, I was like, like, tossing and turning. So two minor, you know, a little WD40 and some.

[A]

What. What's that?

[B]

It's like a grease thing. It's.

[A]

You said that, like, as if it's.

[B]

Like, it's a household. Do you know what that. Yeah.

[A]

Oh, my God. I'm sorry. I'm not familiar with this degreasing agent. Like, that everybody knows about.

[B]

When. When I show you what it looks like, you'll be like, oh, I've seen that. My dad has that. It's like this thing with, like, a little, tiny, little needle spray.

[A]

And I just would never have known what the that's called. I guess.

[B]

Honestly, I think Ryan taught it to me, like, in Georgia. So for a lot of my life, I didn't a lot of, like, yeah, all my door. Everything be squeaky. I don't know. So, yeah, those are the two things. But no, it's. It's quite hilarious, the fact that we chose to not sleep in our big king bed. And we slept. Murphy, will I do it again? Not with Ryan. I would sleep in there again alone, I think. But it was fun. And, like, it was, like, just. It was great waking up, and our bed was made like our other. You know.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Because that's a whole thing for me, so I loved that.

[A]

Making the bed. Yeah.

[B]

Making the best. Wow.

[A]

I see the. I see the thing.

[B]

Like, it's hilarious, though.

[A]

Did you experience, like, like, the outlets and stuff? Like, did you, like, have that stuff?

[B]

Yeah. I realized that it's hard to tell if there's blinds, because one of our guests that slept over recently, they didn't know we had blinds the first night. So I was like, oh, my God. So we need to make it more obvious. I put a nightlight by the bathroom. So when you're walking by outlets. Yes. I'm realizing the person on the left, they don't got an outlet.

[A]

But that's how it is at some hotels.

[B]

No, that's how it be for sure. And it's like, we're also not trying to become a hotel. Like, despite me calling it that, like, I actually don't want to have guests all the time. I'm gonna be so honest. So whatever.

[A]

I think that that's really incredible. Yeah, I think that that's really.

[B]

We've had, like, opposite months. Like, January. Like, I feel like. Like, I literally haven't traveled at all. And you've been.

[A]

Yeah, I've done a.

[B]

Which is so fun. I love this switch up for us.

[A]

I was going to talk about the home stuff because you just reminded me because I. This is the trials and tribulations of being a homeowner. My ceiling's caving in. One of my ceilings is caving in the bed in the bathroom.

[B]

What?

[A]

It's fully. We noticed it, like, a few weeks ago. Like, I noticed, like, a little crack. And I've had these, like, in the walls. And I, like, brought in, like, the handyman. Like, a few months ago. Like, this happened. So October, probably. Big month. October.

[B]

October. I'm like, what are we doing in October?

[A]

Yeah. Send pictures to my dad. Whatever. Like, it would just be, like, on the corners and, like, whatever. Like, there was, like, weir. Like, little. Just, like, cracks forming and stuff. And the maintenance guy comes in. He's like, it's the building settling. It's the building settling.

[B]

Settling. That is unsettling.

[A]

No. And apparently this is a thing. Like, apparently that part is a thing. Because I was like, I want to, like, get it fixed, obviously. And they're like, just wait for it to keep settling. Like it's gonna keep. Yeah, no, I know. And I was like, that feels like. But my dad was like, no, it really, like, could be that it's like, new build. Ish.

[B]

Kind of like, like, I guess over.

[A]

The first, like, 10 years. Like, I don't really understand, but I guess that's like, the building literally is. I don't really understand. I cannot.

[B]

It's like fitting your foot to a shoe, and it's like, breaks in a little.

[A]

Yeah, I guess. I mean, I guess that's why, like, older buildings don't necessarily have, like, necessarily that problem. I feel like they have other problems with, like, the roof or, like.

[B]

Yeah, that's the least of their issues.

[A]

Yeah. Okay. I noticed then in my bathroom, like, one of the cracks started, like, kind of gradually expanding. Now, this is in the art, like, the regular bathroom that we use, like, the primary bathroom. So we shower in there a lot. So I was like, oh, like, the humidity must be, like, causing the crack to, like, rift a little bit more, you know, because it gets really humid in that bathroom.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, every. Like, it steams up, you know? Yeah.

[B]

I feel like you've told me this about yours, specifically.

[A]

We don't have, like, a powerful fan in there.

[B]

Do you close the door? I, like, leave my Door open all the time.

[A]

I think that's. Oh, my God. I like, literally, I'm like, it's a box. It's dark. It's like I come out of there in a cloud of smoke.

[B]

Like, you just hot boxed yourself.

[A]

I do. Because I shower with, like most of the lights off. That's like a fun fact about me.

[B]

Nice. Look at you.

[A]

I only have like. I feel like I only shower with like one little light on. People think that's bizarre, but I just. It's like a vibe for me.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's a whole thing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay. So the crack starts, like, kind of. We've noticed that, like, gradually expanding then really Yesterday we're like. I was like, it's. It's open. Like, it's like it's exposed. Like, we see what else is there. Yeah. I was like, this can't be right. Like, you know, that is.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. So we then called the handyman up again and he was like, yeah, no, this is like, there's a leak upstairs.

[B]

And they knew about it.

[A]

No, he did not. He had no idea. But like, you can tell, I guess, visually, like, it wasn't like a ton of water, like, pooling, but like, you could. I think it was like, wet to the touch or whatever. Like, he looked. Yes. So then he went into the apartment above us and like confirmed that it was like their toilet was leaking. But it was like something that they wouldn't have even noticed. It wasn't like water was pooling on their floors, like the pipes or something.

[B]

Oh, right.

[A]

Yeah. But now I have to, like, go through, like, insurance to fix this. And I'm like, I don't want to go through, like, this is like where.

[B]

It gets like, wait, why is it your fault?

[A]

It's not my fault. I don't have to pay. Insurance should cover it. Or they technically, like, they should.

[B]

Which sucks for them also.

[A]

It does both.

[B]

Both of you.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. No, it's like, it's just an inconvenience, like.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, this is so. But I'm. This is the. Being a homeowner.

[B]

Am I right? Is that. Yeah. No, there's all these things. Is there, like, is there worry that it's gonna, like, burst soon?

[A]

So they turned off the water, like in that bathroom. I guess so until they fix it. And then they. First they will fix it and then we will get.

[B]

At least you get prepared. Still have your water.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. Can you imagine? No. Now I'm scared. I'm like, with no leaks coming from this place. Because you do have to, like.

[B]

Yeah, I think about that sometimes. Yeah, it's. It's weird. You literally are living with all these people and you have to hope that. But it sounds like it's something like you said, like, they couldn't have even.

[A]

No, it's totally fine. But. But it's confusing now. It's like, do you want. It's literally like a car accident and it's like, do you want to go through insurance or do you want to, like, pay cash? Like, yeah.

[B]

And will you ever, like, meet them or is it just going to be always something?

[A]

Ben's been texting the guy. Like, yeah, they put them in touch and. Yeah, he's like, I don't really know. Like, none of it. Like, we're all like, I have no idea. I know.

[B]

I wonder, like, how old these people are. It's a couple.

[A]

I need to see the. I guess we need to meet face to face at some point. I was like, do you, like, are you going to ask them if they have a person? Cuz, like, they don't have a person.

[B]

To like, oh, yeah, you got a guy. Yeah, like, oh, my gosh, that is so stressful.

[A]

And so I'll send a picture and we could put it in the, like, the recap thing.

[B]

Oh, yeah, Instagram.

[A]

So you guys can see. Because I continues to expand. It's not concerning at this point because it's not actively, like.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

To leak. I think it's just like, it's a building.

[B]

Proud of you, though, for, like, trusting your intuition, being like, no, I want to have them come again and, like, take a look.

[A]

It got to a point where we were like, this. This is no longer the building.

[B]

So. Okay. Yeah, I want to see a photo and see if, like, I would, like, also find it, like, do you think most people would find it alarming? Yes. Okay.

[A]

To the point that it's at now.

[B]

Like, you see that one up there? Is it like, worse? Oh, wow. Oh, wow.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Yeah, we're just looking at the scene.

[A]

Yeah, No, I was. I mean, not that I was like, oh, debris is about to like, fall on me, per se, but like, falling debris. Yeah. My dark shower. I wouldn't even see it coming.

[B]

Did you see Marty Supreme?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Remember when he falls in the bathtub? That's what I'm imagining.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. That's such a crazy scene. That was. Yeah, I think about that. I know. With the construction. I think about that stuff all the time. Yeah. Anyways.

[B]

Anyways. Home stuff.

[A]

Home. But mostly Traveling. I feel like mostly.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

No, you're about to be traveling, too.

[B]

Yeah, I'm about to be traveling, but can we talk about your travels?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You were on a bachelorette.

[A]

Bachelorette. The funniest thing about this Bachelorette is that. So it was two brides. We're celebrating. Two brides, two of my friends. One is getting married in March. One is getting married in May.

[B]

Perfect.

[A]

Everybody thought they were getting married. Everybody thought this. Everybody from the hotel employees. Everybody. Everybody was like, congratul. I. We went on a boat. We did a boat day. They were like, we wrote you guys, like, a note. Like, the notes, I'm wishing you congratulations on your happy ever after. Like, together. Everyone thought that it was.

[B]

You know what? They'd be so cute together. Let me not.

[A]

We did, like, a resort, like, photo shoot. It was, like, included in the package or whatever. Like, I will, like, insert them. Like, the pictures are like.

[B]

Like, sandals when they, like, pose.

[A]

But it was like, them. You know, they were like. You know, because they're both in white and, like, they're. And like everybody else, I understand how that that could be confusing. I. I do, I guess, from an outside perspective.

[B]

But, like, were people messaging you that. No, no, no, no.

[A]

I think that when you're like, oh, we're here for a bachelorette, and then, like, there's two of them in white and everybody else. And it's like, we're celebrating Mariah Bailey. Like, and it's unclear, like, Right. And we didn't do. Actually, one thing that we did not do is, like, the pictures of, like, the men. That was Mariah's specific request. She was like, I don't want tattoos. I don't want, like, a stick with the picture. Like, yeah. And I kind of am aligned on that. Like, I don't need it. I don't need it. I see him every day.

[B]

No, I. Have we ever talked about this? Like, I don't like it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

All like, I don't. I'll put someone else's man on my arm. I guess, like, a tattoo or the signs are funny. But, like, I. Like you said, I personally, like, don't need, like, a Ryan on a big head.

[A]

Ryan on a sick.

[B]

No, like, it's like, that's when you're. And it's. We've talked about this. It's not like we're doing weird things. It's just like, this is a girls trip. Why are the guys here?

[A]

I kind of feel that way. I'm like, this is the one time when it's like, focused on, like, you.

[B]

Yeah. So I think that's fair there, but. Yeah. I wonder if there's other ways to have a subtle nod to the men.

[A]

In a. I know. Without it being like, here they are, like, I heart JB or whatever. Like, you know what I mean? Like, it doesn't need to.

[B]

Actually, though, that's, like, better than, like, I would. I would wear that sooner than, like, the face. But still.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I don't know.

[A]

Yeah, it was really. So I guess there was no, like, I guess, necessarily way.

[B]

And what do you say? You're like, our two brides. Because that still could be always.

[A]

And they didn't even care. Like, they were. It was.

[B]

Yeah, they were.

[A]

Oh, my God. It's like, there was no. We didn't even even, like, try to correct. Like, we were like. Yeah. Yep. The two brides, like.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

So that was really, really funny. It was really fun to do two. Two bachelorettes in one. I. I mean, I'm in Mariah's, like, wedding party, so I, like, I would have. I. You never know, like, how people are going to do bachelorettes. Like, I personally am gonna, like, invite my whole college friend group, but, like, some people, you know, they want a smaller one, and they only invite, like, select people. Like, I feel like it varies. So it's fun to, like, go on bachelor. Like, it was just fun.

[B]

How many of you were there?

[A]

Totally 16, I think. Yeah, it was a pretty big group of nanas. Like, for two people. I feel like that's reasonable.

[B]

And would you always do one big table? Was that probably you could do eight on either side or.

[A]

I don't know, actually, Honestly, it was smaller tables. It was. Or it was, like, casual, like, us all sitting around the pool or something. We stayed in an all inclusive, so a lot of it was, like. I don't want to say choose your own adventure, but. Well, there was one big dinner. Now they think about it, that was like, all.

[B]

I think it's better when a big, like, that's the thing. Like. Like, I feel like both you and I have talked about, like, how many people we want to have our bachelor. Whatever. We're both aligned that we want to invite more people than just, like, your wedding party, but if you want to have these dinners. So maybe that's kind of a move where it's like, it's all inclusive. You can just eat when you.

[A]

I don't know. Yeah, no, it was very much so. Like, if you're hungry, go eat. Like, if you. If you want. What like there was no one like really telling you what to do. There was definitely like the major activities was like, okay, tonight like we're doing Coco Bongo. Have you ever heard of Coco Bongo?

[B]

No, but I have questions because your whole friend group, because I follow all of them, we're like, coco Bongo this Coco. I'm like, what is Coco Bongo?

[A]

Yeah. People had no idea what it was.

[B]

Like, is it like the mango deck and all that in Cabo?

[A]

Exactly. So everybody's looking like. So everybody's like boyfriends, I guess, and husbands. Like when people said that they were going to Coco Bongo, everyone starts looking it up and they're like, it's like a big club. I'm concerned. Like I don't want anything to happen to you girls. Like you know you're going like the like. Because it's like advertised online as like a big, big club club. Like outdoor or indoor? Indoor. But like, you know, they were like, I just don't like whatever. Yeah, not. I didn't even look it up. I literally just showed it. Like that's the difference between like, I'm like, we' to go go Bo. I've done the research, like, whatever for something like this. Cuz I'm just like, it's whatever. That's. This is like one of the attractions of Cancun from what I understand. Like if you go on a spring break or whatever.

[B]

Like, like how Senor Frogs was a big thing at one point. Maybe it still is.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Like that vibe.

[A]

Yeah, it's not.

[B]

But a club. Sorry, I know what you mean though. Like where'd we go in Cabo?

[A]

Oh my gosh.

[B]

You know the club I'm talking about.

[A]

Yes, exactly.

[B]

That vibe.

[A]

It's similar, but. But it's not a club though. This was a full show and I know it was a full show because we got taken to our seats.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

Literally. We were sitting on a balcony, had designated seats. Now you could buy a ticket. That's like just a standing ticket. But I needed a seat because this was a long ass show. We got there at like 8 o' clock and we stayed till 1am that was the time the shuttle was coming to pick us up. Yeah, I know that's a lot.

[B]

How did you do with that?

[A]

Not well. Towards the end, the last hour it was low energy.

[B]

I would be low energy by that point.

[A]

I was low energy, honestly. Even though like in the 11th hour, literally the 11th hour. But I was tapped. I was tapped. I was chosen, like at some points they would choose People to come on stage. At other points, it was literally a free for all. You could just go. I had no idea. I was like, people are just going on stage. There were certain points when it was like a choreographed production, like Spider man or something. I will.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Videos. The production was amazing. No, there's people flying from the ceiling and lasers.

[B]

Like, in a way more R rated way. Like on the Disney cruise, when, like, things just kept.

[A]

Exactly. When you were outside on the pool deck.

[B]

Yes, yes.

[A]

I remember.

[B]

Spider man came down. Yeah.

[A]

Y. I don't know how they're allowed to use, like, Spider Man. There was like a whole Beetlejuice production. Like, different themes. Yeah.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

But in between, like, the acts, they would just, like, you know, play music and whatever. And like, of course, we sent our brides up there. You know, our fun. Our brides. Yeah. They. They cross it. And then in the 11th hour, like, you know, and I didn't go on stage, I was like, I don't. I really. I truly did not want to go on stage.

[B]

I'm shocked by this. You didn't want to go on.

[A]

I just was like, I'm good. Like, you know, it wasn't your night. People like, you know, I really was like, I'm. I'm good. Like, and I wasn't, like, so drunk that I was like, ah, get me on.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

I'm good. But I was tapped. I literally was, like, talking and a man comes up to me and goes, macarena.

[B]

Wait. Perfect.

[A]

Like, all right, I have to go.

[B]

Like, you heard the man.

[A]

I didn't even question it. I was like, I'm. I was tapped. Like, I have to.

[B]

You would be tapped.

[A]

Yeah. And then I go up there. Well, I. I ended up, like, bringing people with us with me. I was like, the brides have to come.

[B]

Obviously, my brides.

[A]

And it really is so fun being. I forget, like, you know, when you go on, like, an elevated surface like that, and you're like, everybody's looking at me. But, you know, like, no one's looking at you because it's like, so much is going on in the space. It's a really fun time. That's all that.

[B]

So you did the Macarena?

[A]

I did the Macaron on stage. They love the macaroni. I heard the Macarena maybe, like three times across the entire trip. We heard that player. They played it at our resort.

[B]

They played big thing there.

[A]

Yes. You know, Cotton, I Jo. Only Macarena. Yeah.

[B]

Not to be no Cotton Joe. How about Electric slide or no, no, electric slide. Macarena.

[A]

Yeah. And I'm trying to think what else happened at Coco Bongo. I. I would recommend going. We bought like a package, like, literally through the hotel that included transportation and the ticket, and it's unlimited drinks there. They're bringing out balloon. Like, just. They keep you energized. I will say it's great. To me. Yeah.

[B]

They're like, you need a good shot. I'm like, you know, whatever.

[A]

Yes. You buy the ticket. That covers both. Coco Bongo was the one night we did a boat day, which was super fun. Highly recommend. It's like so nice on a bachelor to have like, like those big moments because, like, when I look back on the trip, I'm like, literally what?

[B]

I remember this. Yeah. The boat day looked unreal. You said there was a photographer on the boat. So I was like, you, Brooke, you guys need to go check out her Instagram. She posted these stunning photos.

[A]

No. They were so crisp.

[B]

And I feel like I'm never really happy when something like that comes to the photographer. I'm not like, no, no.

[A]

Yeah. I. I mean, you have to buy the photo package. Of course.

[B]

Of course. It's literally like $20 a photo. Yeah.

[A]

I don't even know how much it ended up being. But imagine, like. So I guess he just does it under the presumption that, like, you're gonna buy the photos. Because, like, if you don't buy the photos, I don't know how that works.

[B]

Yeah, that's what they do.

[A]

This boat was great. I will also put that in the recap of the company that we used. The company. I can't remember the company. We got a recommendation from a friend. Like, it was. It's called like VIP Cancun or something. Like, it's okay. There's some sort, like, it's a boat, like an.

[B]

You know, I feel like it's nice to have a wreck from someone else. 100% for sure.

[A]

100. Yeah. That was really great. We stayed at the Breathless Riviera. It was fine. I mean, like, no one else in the hotel, I feel like, like by the last day of the all inclusive food, you're kind of like, oh, yeah, get me a vegetable.

[B]

Yeah, I need something more. Were the drinks good? Did you get drunk ever?

[A]

Yeah, there was definitely some times when I was like, tipsy. There was like, oh, I love a swim up bar. Like the pool action.

[B]

That is so funny. You get like pina colada. Do you like a pina colada?

[A]

I do. I like I like a daiquiri, too. I like a Miami vintage vice. I like a mudslide. People ordering mudslides. I said, get me a mudslide.

[B]

These are so good. And can you say the themes now? Because I don't think you did before. Brooks, like, spearheaded the vibes and the themes.

[A]

Yes, yes. So there was one night that was, like, yellow and greens theme, so that was salt and lime. I. This is a mix of, like, Pinterest findings, plus, like, other things. I don't think these are, like, original themes. Then this. The next one was Love at first spritz. So it was, like, all various colors. Like, you know, you could. Yellow, pink, like, whatever. Just bright colors. And the brides wore white all these nights, by the way. They could have roughed in the colors.

[B]

Too, but, like, yeah, you know, you want to say, yeah, of course I will be wearing white.

[A]

Of course. And, yeah, people were really confused because I think I posted the itinerary and for the boat day, the theme was send new nudes.

[B]

Oh, I love that.

[A]

Yeah, you did title. Because it was neutrals. Like, where are your best neutrals? Yes. Like, so, I mean, literally, like, just browns and, like, you know, people. I did animal print. Like, just things.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Black, whatever. And then the brides, once again, were white. What does that mean? Sun nudes.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I think that's actually cheeky. Yeah, I actually like that as a theme. So those were the themes games. The overarching theme was coconuts and cocktails. Is that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm like, why can't I even think of it now? Because there was nothing to do, really, with the actual, like, theme. Theme. I'm realizing that because I've been on a few different bachelorettes now and, like, seeing how people do it and whatever. Because my first bachelor and I went on was my friend Adriana, who's extremely organized. Like, she's a teacher. Like, she just has her together. Yes. Yes. Scott Sale. She has her together. Like, she's just type A, like one of those people. And she planned the whole thing. And I. That's at the norm for me. Like, then I was like, okay, like, that's the norm that the bride, like.

[B]

Right. Because that's what you're used to.

[A]

Yeah. And people I've come to realize, like, that is so not the norm. Like, it should be the. Should be. I put in quotes, like, I don't know what. You know, your prerogative is that the bride just, like, shows up, like, everything's done.

[B]

Yeah. The one I went on, it was. Knew nothing Basically showed up. Which, yeah. Couldn't be us.

[A]

Yeah. I think that I'm just.

[B]

How much would you control?

[A]

I think most. Because I wouldn't want to be unhappy and I wouldn't want to put that on someone else. Like, I feel like that's hard then to. I said. I literally said. I was like, I think the only person I trust to play my bachelor would be Danielle.

[B]

God, I'm so honored I could help you, cuz. No, I feel the same way. Like I need to touch it. Like I need to be a part of it. Like, I feel like you'd want to know the themes. Like, I feel like a surprise could be how your room's decorated. Like if you're bachelor. If you're bachelor.

[A]

I don't need to control that. That's kind of crazy.

[B]

No. Yeah. Like I thought, you know, it's like, okay, what things wouldn't you want to control? Not that I'm fine with the themes.

[A]

Even like the nightly themes. Like.

[B]

Oh, you'd be fine with not knowing those.

[A]

I. Oh, I want to know them. But I don't need to necessarily, like pick every single one. Like, I'm okay with. And like.

[B]

Oh, you're chiller than I thought. I. I really pick all the themes. Yes.

[A]

Oh, but when it comes.

[B]

But I guess you're. That is hard because you're gonna be wearing white.

[A]

Yeah. So that's why I feel like it doesn't even matter to you. Like, the only thing is like how formal. I guess you go. I would. I need to be more involved in the agenda. Like I need to be controlling. Like if we're going to a club or whatever. Like I.

[B]

That to me is like, you need enough free time.

[A]

I love free time.

[B]

I ample getting ready time.

[A]

This was a long bachelor and it was not nice in that way because we had lots of lag time. I would highly recommend it if you can. It was the least rushed on a batch ride I've been. But of course, you know, at the final hour, the boat day was really early. That was the one con.

[B]

What time did you guys have to get up to go?

[A]

I think we had to be on the bus to go to the boat at 8am or maybe even earlier. Honestly, it might have been like 7 or 7:15. Because I think I woke up at 6:30 and I was like, oh my God. It was like I was. I was Woke up at 6:30. I was like, I'm going to go to the coffee shop. And I had stayed up so late the night I was Like, Maddie, my roommate. Like, maddie, I'm going to the coffee shop. And she was like, okay. Like, do you care if I keep sleeping? I was like, no worries. Like, I really need to go so that I can, like, you know, to go. To go. Go to the coffee shop. You know, resorts, like, the ho. The coffee is, like, hit or miss, like, right?

[B]

Yes, I do.

[A]

And it. A few days before that, like, it was good. Like, you know, nice ice, vanilla latte, whatever. So I think. Oh, yeah. I ordered because they were very big on, like, the mocha theme. So I was like, okay, can I get iced latte with chocolate? That. Because they had chocolate syrup.

[B]

Like, that was, like, their big thing, basically.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, that's. I had ordered that previously. So I was like, I feel like, this is safe. I get two. I get back two coffees, and I just, like, start drinking because I was, like, bringing daddy one. I started drinking out of it, and I was like, damn. Literally awful coffee. Like, this is absolute. It tasted like water and, like, a bean. Like, it was, like, so, like, no flavor. So bad. We get back to the room. I get back to the room. I'm like, you know, holding things. I got croissants. I'm like, maddie, I'm back. Like, I handle things.

[B]

They call it girl grip. I saw this on Threads the other day. Girl grip.

[A]

I love that. I literally had, like, two chocolate croissants because I was like, we're not going on this boat without being fed. Like, no.

[B]

My God. You went to, like, drink and stuff.

[A]

Yeah, No, I give her the coffee. This coffee is amazing.

[B]

No.

[A]

And I was like, what do you mean?

[B]

What did she get?

[A]

I ordered two of the same thing, but for some reason, I think they gave me a cup of coffee and they gave her the delicious, sweet treat, like. And I was like, I got.

[B]

So did you try hers?

[A]

You. Because I didn't even get the good one.

[B]

Did you try hers? No.

[A]

At the very end, like.

[B]

And you agreed it was good? Because I'm like, what if her standards were just different?

[A]

No, no, it was like they completely, like, I think that they literally gave me a cup of coffee, and they gave her, like, the delicious treat. It was just like, iron. Because I was like, I'm waking up early.

[B]

Like, yeah. And you're just like, oh, I'm so glad. Yours is so good. Did you go get another or. It was too late.

[A]

I. She was very sweet. She was ready before me, and she was like, when? And stopped on the way to the boat. To the bus. To the boat. There's a lot of. A lot of shuttling around. Wow. It's like that sort of stuff because.

[B]

This is seriously, like, giving me butterflies for, like, your bachelorette one day. My bachelor. Like, all of our friends. Like, we have so many to look forward to because. Was this your second or third bachelorette that you've ever. Or maybe more.

[A]

I'm like, is this my.

[B]

Oh, I guess you went on Jacqueline, too. I'm forgetting.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Adriana from home. Jacqueline. This one. Why do I feel like I went on another one?

[B]

I do, too. I just, like.

[A]

I'm like, why am I blanking?

[B]

So it's at least your third, maybe your fourth.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah. I've only been on one. I'm like, dying, but I know.

[A]

More coming up.

[B]

More to look forward.

[A]

I think you're gonna be in a lot of people's weddings. I feel like we'd always talk about this. I think a lot of people are like, Daniel, Carolyn, like, throw her in there.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

You're a good. Like, I feel like you're a reliable person. Like, throw in the wedding mix. Like, there's some people, like, have those characteristics and they're like, throw her in there. Like, you know, like, we'll see.

[B]

We'll see. I don't know. I. I look forward to it.

[A]

So that was the Bachelor. Just really, really fun time. Highly, highly, honestly, highly recommend, all inclusive for it because it's like, you don't have to think about a lot of logistics. So if you are thinking about, like, doing any sort of, like, resort type situation, it actually is nice to do the all inclusive because you pay one price up from front. Like, you don't have to worry about necessarily.

[B]

No, that's so nice. No, I. I'm.

[A]

It makes it easy. You don't have to carry around, like, a card with you the whole time, like.

[B]

And were you all on the same floor in the hotel?

[A]

No, we were pretty spread out across the resort. Yeah. Oh, we just swim up pool in the.

[B]

In your room.

[A]

Like, in the outside of the room. It was like a big, like, almost lazy river type thing. Yeah.

[B]

You and Maddie have, like, a night out and just.

[A]

We all. All of the girls went and we all met up, like, and, like, meet.

[B]

Up at the lazy river and three girls. Oh, I love it. I just love girls trips so much and the camaraderie, the inside jokes that get created. Do you ever notice, like, on trips or if you even just went to dinner with someone? It's usually on a trip, though. You create this bond. And for, like, a few weeks after the trip, you just, like, have this group chat.

[A]

You keep that, or do I do that? Yeah, I will say you keep that active. You'll be like, girls. Like, I feel like.

[B]

Like, call back to something. Yes.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Well, I love when.

[A]

No, it's really. I feel like you're really good about, like, keeping it active. The few weeks after.

[B]

I love. Like, I went to dinner with a couple friends I haven't seen so long, and we, like, talked about tell me lies. So now it's like our tell me lies chat. But it's just fun. Yeah, it's because of me, but, like, it's fine.

[A]

No.

[B]

So I'm sure that I feel like the bachelorette chat.

[A]

Yeah, totally. I also just, like, forget how blessed we are to, like, travel so much. Like, when I go on something like this, because I'm just like, yeah, I got another trip next week and another, like. And, you know, people are like, oh, I'm not traveling till my wedding. Or, like, oh, my God.

[B]

[B]

It's definitely. Yeah. It's like, hey, yeah.

Guys, I just had like this funny little experience, so obviously I feel like between the two of us, like Brooke, like we know she was able to acquire a Kelly like you. You've done your work. Yeah, for this Hermes, like the whole Hermes. Laura, I don't own anything. Hermes, whatever. Anyways, I take Ryan with me, per your suggestion to the real real. Not because I didn't bring Ryan because of you. But I have some clothes and stuff and I've. I've given them B. But I never thought to give some my clothes because I have some nicer clothes that I just don't wear. So I booked an appointment. I was going to soho to do it, whatever. And I bring Ryan with me. I'm like, come on, we're gonna run an errand together. So I'm in like the room. Oh, wait, sorry, opposite. This is when I brought my bags. I had already done the clothes. Whatever. Anyways, I'm in like a private room. They're like, looking at all the bags and I hear Ryan in like the men's area. And I hear him say to the. The guy, he was like, wow, that. That's a good looking briefcase. Like, how much is that? Like, what is that? And the guy, the guy, him. And I can't hear what he says. And Ryan's like, wow, that must be a nice briefcase. And I guess it was like literally $30,000. And Ryan's like, wow, like so. And I think Ryan's just asking him, like, what's the brand? And the guy goes, hermes. And Ryan's like, oh, what, what's. What's Hermes? Like, I think he saw. He's like, hermes or something. He's like, hermes. And Ryan's like, oh, okay, maybe. Maybe that's something I can work towards, you know, Like, I've always wanted a Rolex, but no, I was like, oh, that makes you. But then, but then I hear the guy explaining to him, well, okay, if you come here, like, definitely, you can get it here, but if you go to like, the, the store, because Ryan's like, you know, it'd be so fun.

[A]

To go to the store.

[B]

And I really do. The guy's like, well, unfortunately, I think you kind of gotta like, work your way up. And Ryan's like, I don't understand. He's like, some people go and buy blankets and then a pair of slides. And Ryan's like, wait, wait, what? And I'm just, I'm not in the conversation. Yeah, but Ryan doesn't know this. Like, you would think I would have told him the Hermes law. And Ryan's like, so I gotta buy a blanket and make all these purchases to even be able to buy that freaking big briefcase. And the guy's like, yeah, but here at the real Real, you know, you could buy, you know, right.

[A]

Hypothetically.

[B]

Hypothetically, we just price it higher because.

[A]

You know, it's harder to get.

[B]

It's harder to get and it was just so.

[A]

That's funny.

[B]

I was like I can't wait to sell breakfast.

[A]

Like but I kind of feel like Rolex is similar in that way. Right. Like you have to get like the smaller Rolexes to get the bigger.

[B]

I, I, I didn't know that. I know with Rolex you're on wait list.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

To continue talking to the associates. Sales associates. I, I don't know that.

[A]

I don't know. I just know that I think with watches. Yes.

[B]

No. Yeah. It was just so funny. He was, he was just like I can't believe you never told me this. I was like, yeah, I guess I just, I haven't done that.

[A]

So I no, I like it fueled my adrenaline for that short time.

[B]

You got it.

[A]

And then now I have to fix the gaping hole in my ceiling. So I have other priorities unfortunately. Yeah.

[B]

That's so funny.

[A]

That's really, really fun. Wait, so what did you do bring. Cuz I sold my clothes to the real rail. This is a hack. I'm not sponsored by them and I truly, truly wish I was because they literally list your clothes for you. Like if you have they, you can go on the website and see what brands they take.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I just like you literally just give them the clothes and they list it. They sell them for you. I mean they sell, you can sell your. Did you say you sold personally?

[B]

So I, well the week before I had went and brought clothes. Cuz you don't need an appointment for that.

[A]

Yeah, you just drop it off.

[B]

Yeah, I brought like the outfit I wore to our mean girls thing. Like I just like I've saved it for so long cuz I loved that outfit but I, I just haven't worn it so I brought that and there.

[A]

Were things that don't fit anymore, whatever.

[B]

Like you know, things like that. And there's so many, they really accept so many brands. Like some brands that they sell and revolve and forward you you really opened my eyes to it. So I did that. But then like I had a couple bags that I just don't wear anymore. I had you in the back of my head and your mom like oh like to give your daughter one day. But I only so much room for my bags. I want to buy more bags.

[A]

You have to live your truth. You also have a lot of b. You have more bags than, than me. Like you have a lot. You have a lot of bags.

[B]

Took off my glass.

[A]

Oh me.

[B]

I have more bags than you. Well now too. I've had this whole thing on my Vlog. Wow. It's such a different world when you take off your glass.

[A]

What are these? Can I ask, like what.

[B]

What are these of them? They're kits. I.

[A]

Are they just like. Can I try them on? Mel.

[B]

Mel. Let's see.

[A]

Let's see.

[B]

Brooke is Mel.

[A]

[A]

Two o' clock appointment.

[B]

Well, especially with the turtle. And act like it's giving. Wait, they're just blue light. They're not like blurry or anything. It's just.

[A]

It is though, it affects their vision because the black.

[B]

Sorry. No, that's my makeup. I'm pretty sure. Oh, really? Yeah. Hello, guys.

[A]

Hello.

[B]

Also, seriously, maybe you guys can see us a little clearer. Not because of my glasses, because we're shooting in 4k now.

[A]

I'm scared to watch this back because.

[B]

I know gray every pore. Like visible. Yeah. We told you guys. Big things coming.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Imagine 4K.

[A]

Big announce.

[B]

Big announcement. Announcement 4K.

[A]

On that note, I'm like, I'll put a more lip gloss since everybody could see me in 4K right now.

[B]

Yeah, my lip balm's over there. Oh, Want to hear a new bit? Ryan and I have.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Oh, you're gonna say something.

[A]

No, no. I feel like the. The we just weren't continuing on the real world conversation.

[B]

I was gonna say it was just that.

[A]

Did I list everything for you?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like it's done.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, everything's there now. I'm just waiting for people to buy my things.

[A]

It's fun. I. I think it's just a great service. Like I. Because I really, quite frankly, like, you know, the Poshmark and stuff. I feel like I could be making so much money with selling my stuff on Poshmark, but I just do not have the patience for it.

[B]

It's a lot of admin, honestly. Major props. I have been going on Poshmark recently.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Cuz people sell like really cool on.

[A]

I know you could search for the exact item that's like on Revolver, forward on Poshmark and get it like nwt new tags for like significantly cheaper.

[B]

Yeah, no, it's really nice. Sometimes I'm just like, when are they gonna ship this? Like if it's something I need so quickly. But I get that. No, it's. It's really good. Especially if you're looking for something so specific. Like I'm. I have such a problem and we know this. Like, when there's a trend, I fixate on it. Like, I can't stop buying zebra, tiger, like, snakeskin. I, like, I'm obsessed with the animal print. So it was on Poshmark looking up, like, zebra skirt, this, that. And there's so many cool things, like, especially if a specific thing you're looking for.

[A]

Interesting.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I guess I need to give it a go.

[B]

It's fun. It's kind of, like. It's kind of nice instead of being on Instagram, you know, it's. It feels like Pinterest. Oh, how sad is that?

[A]

I'm like, no, I, I, I get that.

[B]

I know it switches it up. New bit alert.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I've been basically doing to Ryan for a while now. I just think it's funny, and I'm curious if you like it. So it'll be like, we'll be sitting on the couch in the living room, or we're just, like, in a room together. And he'll just, like, get up and not tell me where he's going. Like, he'll just be like. He'll just get up.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I guess people do this, but I feel like usually I'll be like, oh, I have to go pee. Or like, I'm, you know, I announce my exit. So he does that a lot. I've noticed. And so anytime he gets up and just doesn't do anything, I'll be like, was it something I said?

[A]

Oh, that's really good.

[B]

Oh, that's without fail. He laughs every time.

[A]

You got it. That's really great.

[B]

So funny because it's kind of like, hello.

[A]

Like.

[B]

But then it's like, was it something I said? It's just silly.

[A]

Oh, that's really.

[B]

I wrote that.

[A]

That's great. I'm usually the one to leave with no announcement. I feel like I. I'm not surprised. Yeah, I feel like I go. And Ben's like, where? What are you doing? But I'll be doing, like, three things, though. That's the thing. I'm like, well, first I have to pee, and then I'm grabbing my purse to get my wallet.

[B]

I'd like to know.

[A]

And then I need to redo my skin care.

[B]

I'm like, yeah, actually, I got to pop this pimple. I've got things to do. So that's. That's my new bit. Do you have any bits. Do you have, like, a current stem of the week? I feel like you.

[A]

I know. I always do. What. What is my stem of the week? Like, what am I Like, fixating on. I mean, I've been like, just fixating in general on, like, making like, artisanal lattes at home. That's been like, my favorite thing. I'm making this cereal milk. I'm literally.

[B]

I watched your vid.

[A]

It's delish.

[B]

It's so good with Fruity Pebbles, huh?

[A]

It's really, like, just sweet. Like, it just tastes like. I feel like you get to a point where all the cereal, like, kind of tastes the same. Like, all cereal is cereal.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What's the difference between, like, Fruity Pebbles really, and. I don't. Any other, like.

[B]

Well, like, I like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.

[A]

Of course I like. Yeah, I like the Cinnamon Pebbles like this. They make those now. And that was delicious.

[B]

Delicious.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That is delish.

[A]

Yeah. What else is going on? Just lots of travel, really. You know, us in and out of town. I'm going on, like, some second looks with Ben, which is nice, so.

[B]

Second.

[A]

Yeah. Which is really cool that I get to like, be.

[B]

Yeah, that'll be fun.

[A]

Part of the process.

[B]

Are you gonna, like. We can cut this out too. Are you gonna, like, post like.

[A]

Yeah, I feel like I'm. I mean, not necessarily campus store.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. But you'll be like, I'm here. Here. Wow, guys. So be on the lookout. That's fun to know. Yeah, I don't really, honestly, I literally said to Brooke, I was like, wow, next month, like February, I'm literally here mainly and then going at the end of the month for my mom's birthday. My mom's turning 60. Peaceful. Michelle. I know. Yeah. So she's gonna believe it.

[A]

I'm shocked.

[B]

I can't believe it either. So she. I don't really know exactly what we're gonna do. I think I'm just gonna, like, go be there. It's. It's tough to though, because I don't know if I ever said this. My mom's birthday and me and Ryan's anniversary is the same day.

[A]

I feel like I. Like I did. Yeah.

[B]

If Ryan could have timed that better.

[A]

Well, one day your new anniversary will be a different day. I feel like your dating anniversary goes out the window at a certain point and it becomes like, you're.

[B]

That's true. No, you're right.

[A]

For your engagement, like, whatever the most. Wait.

[B]

You're so right. No worries. Haha.

[A]

But you're allowed to have. That's valid. Mel would say that's valid.

[B]

That's valid. No, no, but that's actually really, really chu. So I'm trying to figure Out. But then I have a couple really fun brand trips that I'm really excited.

[A]

Yeah. You're going back to back.

[B]

Back to back branches in March, you guys. That are so cool. Brooke was invited.

[A]

I was. March is a big month, though, you guys.

[B]

I've got second looks, she's got match day. Yeah. I'm all the things, so.

[A]

I can't believe Match is so, like. That's so crazy to me. Like, when this goes up, it's like a month away, which is like, so crazy to me.

[B]

I literally can't believe it.

[A]

I know. It's like, crazy. I went through the entire. Guys, I'm graduating.

[B]

No, no. But even at the Gals in the Go event last night, I feel like some girls were coming up to you. Thanks for talking about it.

[A]

A lot of runners identify so many.

[B]

Every. Every other person we, like, formed a line at one point to like, take photos and they're like, brooke running. I was like, I know.

[A]

And I was like, oh, you run her too? They're like, marathon. Like, I was like, wow. You're like, amazing. Yeah. I was wondering.

[B]

I know running is becoming popular, but I'm like, are people just talking about it more or just more people running right now?

[A]

I think both.

[B]

Both.

[A]

A lot of people, like, ran maybe five, like in high school or in high school or something. And like. Yeah. So like, you can relate on that angle. But I do think it's just the increase in popularity. I think that they said, like, the signups are higher and like, the signups are high. Yeah. I feel like. I feel like it's a fit. You know, there's fitness, tra, trends, whatever. Like, I feel like people.

[B]

I just had a random thought, cuz you told me about the thing you're running and I won't be in town. I just looked. I'm so upset.

[A]

It's okay. It's not a match marathon. Like, I mean, it's like, you know, the marathon, I feel like, is really like everyone in your life comes out like, you know, with the signs. I don't. I don't know if the half is as serious. It's so fun. But it's not as, like.

[B]

No, I mean, let's be. I wasn't even at Ryan's. Ryan literally ran the half.

[A]

Holy shit.

[B]

I forgot I wasn't there. Is that kind of crazy now that you're running and stuff? Can you appreciate the fact that Ryan, like, just ripped that hungover.

[A]

Yeah, we were on a trip after the kid. The wedding. Gretchen's wedding.

[B]

God. Oh, My God. And then he just stopped.

[A]

He was like, I gotta stop at the store and pick up some gels.

[B]

Oh, yeah, you were in the back seat.

[A]

Yeah, that was. He handled. Oh, my God, what a champ, right? Fresh off of a flight, he literally.

[B]

Flew to San Francisco from Boston.

[A]

And he had a good time, didn't he?

[B]

Yes, he did great. I forget, like, what it was. It was under whatever the.

[A]

Does he write maybe two hours?

[B]

Yeah, maybe under two. Maybe it was like 151. That's standing outside.

[A]

I feel like under two is, like, the impressive measure.

[B]

But I remember that was the whole thing I was asking Brooke, I was asking. I finally talked to Ryan about. I was like, should I, like, be at this happen? And he was like, no. Like, literally no one else is. It was through work, you know? So I guess if I didn't go to Ryan's, like, holy crap.

[A]

It's so crazy. Oh, my God. We should do the company half marathon.

[B]

I'll.

[A]

I'll be the coach. Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

That would be really.

[A]

Oh, my God. Wow. That's insane that he. Does he do, like, running on the reg, though? Like, well, he.

[B]

No, he's not allowed, Brooke. Like, it's. You sound like a joy after you go for runs. Ryan was not a joy after he would go for runs. He'd literally come home, he would sweat all over my dining chairs. He was gross. Like, he. He was so hungry. Even more hungry than he is now. Like, I. No, he can't be a runner, unfortunately.

[A]

I told him.

[B]

God, and he does. He, like, likes it, but, like, I don't know. I don't know how he does what he does. It's like, he just, like, did that and that. He's like, no, I'm good.

[A]

Like, new. New thing now. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. We're not really, like, just being. Just doing the gym. I. I don't know.

[A]

Just gym.

[B]

Just gym, gym, tan, laundry. Right.

[A]

Yeah, I'm. I'm trying to be back on the.

[B]

I can't wait to see, like, what your outfit will be for this half marathon.

[A]

I mean, I don't know. I'm open to sponsors at this point. I know. I really. I'm being so serious. Like, I'm waiting to announce that I'm running the half marathon because I'm leaving an open sponsors. Like, I mean, a little behind the scenes.

[B]

Wait, did I announce. I thought, like, no, no, no, but I'm waiting.

[A]

No, I said do your big one before, but I'm waiting to do my big one because I'm like, like, if someone wants to get in on this, like, I, I, I don't have an official apparel sponsor, a sneaker sponsor. Like, I am open.

[B]

I see you in a bright pink outfit. Like, I. Is that crazy?

[A]

I mean, I feel like most runners wear like black, but I, I'm open though.

[B]

Hasn't she worn like. Or just.

[A]

I know people do like the face glitter. I don't see myself doing that. But watch now I'm going to like, write like, go, Brook. Like.

[B]

No. Are you kidding me? You're going to go all out. One thing about you, you'll like needle point, like your head. Headband or I don't even know. No, that wouldn't be good. But something I. You can mesh all of your hobbies.

[A]

Hobby maxing.

[B]

So the run will be on a Sunday. Is that they're always honest.

[A]

I think it's on a Sunday. Is it? It's on. I do believe it. It is that Sunday. Because it's like I was looking at the weekends and I was like, oh, every weekend. Like after this weekend, every weekend I.

[B]

Have something that makes me tired.

[A]

No, I, I don't like to live this way, if I'm being honest. You know, I don't. I know I don't. I know.

[B]

And that's why every time Brook's hitting me with oh, I'm doing this, I'm like, is. Am I talking to Brooke Mitchell? Yeah, I know. Crazy.

[A]

I know. But it's just like, I just, you know, it's. It's my year of yes. My unofficial year of yes.
