Key Discussion Points & Insights

Sibling Dynamics, Catching Up, and Moving Stories (01:06 – 09:16)

• Annual “Brothers Episode” Tradition: Freddie is in town from Florida helping Danielle move; Sal lives in NYC. Both sisters admit they’ve never helped their brothers move in return.
• Wellness, Grounding & Routines: Freddie talks grounding, vitamin D, and Zen habits—“I like to get my feet in the grass, too. Start the day. Yeah, touch the grass.” (04:02, Freddie).
• Morning Routines: Both brothers discuss their wellness routines—Sal wakes up at 5 AM “for no reason” and does cardio to avoid feeling like a “zombie.” (05:08)

• Work-Life Balance Real Talk: Both brothers describe paying their dues in early, burnout-heavy jobs (“I was miserable...7AM meetings in suit and tie, had no life.” (11:17, Sal)), and now prioritize companies that value balance, remote days, and stable hours.
  • “Honestly, I feel like it’s worth the pay cut to have better work-life balance.” (12:54, Brooke)

Millennials, Internet Nostalgia & Etiquette (15:16 – 22:14)

• Old School Platforms: The group reminisces about AIM, Formspring/Ask.fm bullying, Vine, Omegle, and the evolution to TikTok.
  • “Why did we do that? That was the original bully.” (19:45, Brooke)
• Weddings in the Social Media Era:
  • Freddie describes weddings now banning personal phones and why guests should simply be present (“You got invited to be a spectator, not...there’s so many cameras.” 21:48, Freddie)
  • Everyone vents about relatives ruining the pro shots, and there’s an aside about electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and phone superstitions.

Family Trips & Florida Stories (23:03 – 26:45)

• Vacation Plans: Sal and Brooke’s family are planning a trip to Greece; Danielle and Freddie dream about a Florida Keys trip, which is derailed when Freddie shares that their family boat sank in a hurricane (“Dark. RIP.” 23:53).
• Lobstering and Boating: Freddie pitches the idea of getting a new boat for a joint sibling trip, complete with lobster catching (“You use a net and a tickle stick and just whack them out of the rocks” 24:36, Freddie).

Panic of the Week (27:30 – 44:59)

Danielle: Moving Mayhem (27:45)

• Comical highlights from moving into a new apartment, not being able to find towels late at night, and searching everywhere for her boyfriend Ryan’s cowboy hat before his bachelor party.

Brooke: Las Vegas Debauchery (30:36, 35:59)

• Brooke details her recent Vegas trip for a Bondi Boost brand event:
  • “At night, outside partying…multiple groups of people go home until it’s like me and two other influencers and the brand people.” (35:59)
  • Staying out until 4 AM, being upgraded to Comfort+ for looking thoroughly “down bad.”
• Memorable Fan Encounter: “I got this message that sent me into orbit…I saw you at the airport and I was going to ask if you were okay…I was on your flight…If it’s any consolation, you are so much skinnier in person.” (37:57, Brooke).
• The group laughs about the backhandedness of social media messages and compares “adventurous” eating and wild party stories.

Sal: Subway Fire Scare (41:47)

• Sal describes getting stuck on the subway during a fire, being reversed out to the previous station: “There was a fire in the front of the subway car…First time I’ve ever had something like that happen” (42:50, Sal).

Freddie: Car Accident Stress (43:52)

• Freddie tells the story of rear-ending a truck en route to work after a surprise ambulance stop, dealing with insurance and police while trying to make flights and meetings.

Post-Grad Living, Dating & What Guys REALLY Think (47:06 – 55:46)

Girls Making the First Move

• Both Sal and Freddie are “all for it”:
  • “I think it’s only a win.” (47:40, Freddie)
  • “I’d be like, oh, she’s got the balls…” (47:59, Sal)
  • Approach context matters: A sincere “Hi” or a relevant comment (“what you’re drinking”) beats obviously rehearsed lines.

Showing Interest & Texting Etiquette

• Dropping hints includes “upping the communication”, light physical touch if you’re already friends, or responding quickly to texts.
  • "I think touch is probably just like opening the door…or they're answering, like, every [text]...clearly, they're responding very fast." (49:34, Sal)
• Rapid replies are welcomed (as long as it’s not obsessive), but both gravitate toward making real-life plans, not endless texting.
  • “Let’s make plans, spend time in person, you know what I mean?” (50:44, Freddie)

Instagram Likes as Flirting

• Liking someone’s IG story is the new “soft open”:
  • “I’m not gonna DM you, but, like, I’m just gonna throw you a like.” (54:28, Sal)
  • Both notice and sometimes mirror interest with likes.
  • Shooting your shot is still sending an actual message or emoji.

Adjusting to Post-Grad Life in NY & Florida (55:14 – 57:02)

• Sal loves the city but flees to Long Island/boating life on summer weekends; Freddie misses Florida’s warmth but is open to exploring.
• The group reassures each other that everyone is “thriving” a year out, and plans for future joint episodes and trips are teased.

Down and dirty. So what's up, Freddie? You're in town. Well, you haven't. You guys were complimenting my 10. You have a nice, natural Florida day. You're the same shade, but this is Lovington Platinum.

[Freddie]

Yeah, we get the sunlight down in Florida. No doubt about that.

[Danielle]

He literally has been here. He got in last night, so I just moved. Me and Ryan just moved, so. And course, Ryan has two bachelor parties. One last weekend and one this weekend sandwiched in between a move. So Freddie, my sweet brother, flew up here to come help.

[Brooke]

That's really nice.

[Freddie]

It's like a little tradition at this point.

[Danielle]

Yeah, it's kind of tradition.

[Brooke]

Would you do moving to.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Freddie]

She's never helped me move.

[Danielle]

I know. Yeah. I don't repay the paper, you know, like. No, no, no.

[Sal]

You got a nice tax.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Freddie]

It's just so much fun coming up to New York City. Like, when you're in Tampa, it's such a. Tampa's a fun city as well. But, like, New York obviously has, like, a different energy about it, and that's just. You can't compare.

[Danielle]

He's literally, like, in New York.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

He's sending his friend's videos.

[Freddie]

Oh, yeah. I'm a tourist.

[Brooke]

You guys are very similar. We are very, very similar.

[Danielle]

Romanticized New York. But I say all this because this morning he already is like, where's the roof? And, like, went and got his.

[Freddie]

Gotta get my vitamin D. I like to get my feet in the grass, too. Start the day. Yeah. Touch the grass.

[Danielle]

You like to growl.

[Freddie]

They sell, like, grounding mats for apartments. You plug it into the outlet and it's.

[Danielle]

Yeah, you have.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's so, like. You're so Your mother's son.

[Freddie]

That's what my dad says all the time.

[Danielle]

Very Zen, Gen. That makes sense. Yes.

[Brooke]

I feel like it, like, you are, like, a mix of like your mom and your dad in those ways. Both of you.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Like, in terms of like, the wellness, like, you guys have like the supplements, but then you also have like the wellness practices.

[Danielle]

Yeah, totally.

[Brooke]

Very. That makes a lot.

[Danielle]

And I feel like you're kind of getting into that.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

You like to ground.

[Brooke]

What are you doing?

[Danielle]

Ground.

[Brooke]

I don't know if you like to wellnessy.

[Sal]

Like, I don't think that wellness is probably the right word. I just like to be like, active in a way.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Sal]

Like, I'll. I'll wake up up. I'll do cardio in the morning. Like just to do something like.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Sal]

Moving. Because I went through a period where. When I started work where I would wake up, shower, go to work, and I was a zombie for the first three hours of the day and I hated it. Like, I don't want to feel that way. So now I wake up, I'm waking up ridiculously, like five o' clock for no reason. I don't start work till 9, 9:30, to be honest.

[Danielle]

Four hours.

[Brooke]

I didn't realize you were still doing the five.

[Sal]

I'm in a good routine right now where I don't even set an alarm. Yeah, no, like this morning, hungover. All the respect. 5:15.

[Danielle]

All due respect, I was hungry.

[Freddie]

You still go to bed late and you're up at 5:15 or.

[Sal]

Wow. I think. But now it's just like something that I. The past probably, like, month. I can't shake it.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Sal]

But then I'm up and I'm like, all right, let me do something. Like, I don't want to just sit in bed. So I'll do cardio in the morning either. Like, I'll walk through Friday. Shut up.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Shout out. Being sour neighbors for a sec.

[Sal]

So I'll either go on a walk on the treadmill downstairs, elliptical or something just to get the body moving. Because I. I feel better when I do it. Like, get the mind. By the time I get to work, I've been up for like three hours. I'm like, all right, I'm locked.

[Danielle]

Yeah, you are locked. Do you listen to music or what do you do?

[Brooke]

Or just.

[Sal]

I'll either listen to like, some sort of like, business channel.

[Brooke]

He's in his real stock. Okay.

[Freddie]

We could go on and on.

[Sal]

We could talk about crypto.

[Freddie]

I don't know if that's this podcast.

[Sal]

We could that or like some sort of music.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Sal]

Clash Royale.

[Danielle]

I always like Clash.

[Brooke]

That's a game, isn't it?

[Freddie]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

Clash of Clans.

[Freddie]

What kind of music? Are we talking here, like, rap, rock?

[Sal]

I'll cycle between. Like, I have one, like, quote unquote car playlist that has everything ranging from house music, country music. Yeah, I don't even like country, but I was really everything in between.

[Brooke]

You like country more than me, though?

[Sal]

Not. I have two countries. Well, there's two country songs.

[Freddie]

Really? You guys are country music singers?

[Danielle]

Brooke is not Freddie.

[Freddie]

No, I'm not.

[Brooke]

No.

[Freddie]

Not even, like, Zach Brown, man. Jimmy Buffett.

[Sal]

I like a bar song.

[Brooke]

Okay, but, like, if you're on a.

[Freddie]

Beach and people are playing.

[Danielle]

Oh, yeah. Tipsy or Shaboozy.

[Brooke]

That's what I'm trying to say. I, like, know the big country hits.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Like, so then I'll start seeing them. Be like, oh, my God. I'm like, how do you not know Chicken Fried? Like, that's like. Yeah, right. Of course.

[Freddie]

Like Morgan Wall.

[Sal]

But as somebody who went to Georgia, you think that you would.

[Brooke]

I just never came around to it. I tried to. I, like, made a playlist freshman year. I was like, I'm gonna get into this. And I was like, it's just a.

[Sal]

Weekend.

[Danielle]

Picturing little freshman Brooke making a country.

[Brooke]

I, like, did a cover on Spotify. I was like. It was like, I did, like, something about Georgia. Northern girl in a country world.

[Danielle]

I could see that.

[Brooke]

Tried to get into it. Oh, that's cool. All right. So you have, like, your little routine. Yeah. You got. You're very in your, like, biz era. Like, I feel like, because in college and stuff, like, you were definitely interested in business, but I feel like now, like, as an adult, you're even and, like, your work touches all of that, but I feel like it's more for fun.

[Sal]

Yeah, it is, right?

[Brooke]

Like, you're just interested.

[Sal]

Plus, I think that now have majority of my own funds. Like, I didn't have a source of income then.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Sal]

So, like, now I have my own money to play around with, so what can I do?

[Danielle]

I often will text Freddie and be like, what do we think about? Blah, blah. I don't know if that's.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

But, you know, it's fun to talk about. It's fun.

[Brooke]

We definitely talk about it.

[Danielle]

Sibling come together. Subject.

[Brooke]

Oh, definitely. Yeah. It's like, what's happening?

[Sal]

Crypto.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Well, you.

[Danielle]

Brooke's actually getting.

[Brooke]

I try. Like, I made a coinbase. I'm like, yeah, I've started to do a little bit on there. It's, like, confused. Like, I think you have to really dedicate a lot of time, it seems like, to educating Yourself. Do you feel that way or not really?

[Freddie]

Buy and hold.

[Brooke]

What'd you say? I know about the hodl, Right. I know about, like, the slang. Oh, there's like, Twitter slang.

[Freddie]

Oh, there is?

[Brooke]

Yeah. You would. You would know if you're on.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I'm not.

[Freddie]

You're not on X at all. That's, like, where I get all of my news, dude.

[Sal]

I'm huge on Reddit right now.

[Freddie]

Oh, really? How do you know who's who?

[Sal]

I thought you don't.

[Freddie]

That's the best.

[Danielle]

That's the best. Yeah. The Reddit you're on.

[Brooke]

[Sal]

I like doge.

[Freddie]

Okay.

[Sal]

Like. Like, I. I like.

[Danielle]

I like.

[Sal]

I'm not on, like, like, the 2 cent ones. I was trying to get into it at one point. I'm like, this is. I'm like, what am I doing here?

[Brooke]

That's intense. Like, small stuff. Okay, so that's what you're. So you do a little cardio in the morning, you go up, you get showered, and then you, like, go to work, so. Oh, I want to talk about work because Sal had, like, a big life change where you switch jobs. I feel early and you kind of just.

[Freddie]

Me too. Yeah.

[Danielle]

They both have new jobs. Oh, do new, new jobs.

[Brooke]

Who wants to go first?

[Freddie]

Mine's pretty simple. I got a family friend who owns a fueling company based out of Tampa. They started in 2004 with one truck. Now we're running statewide with 65 trucks moving into the Southeast. And they needed somebody to kind of help grow the company. And I was a free agent.

[Brooke]

Now they have a full fleet, 65 trucks.

[Freddie]

We're moving and grooving, and it's been so much fun just meeting people, helping grow the company. It's definitely a uni industry, like coming from the boat business to the oil business.

[Danielle]

Marinas, though.

[Freddie]

Absolutely. Meeting very unique people and figuring out how to make things happen.

[Danielle]

And I feel like you've gotten so good at talking to people like you've always been. But, like, even just him meeting the staff in my new building, he's like, Freddy, Carol and I shaking everyone's hands. I mean, oh, no, it's the same with him.

[Brooke]

I listened to him. I was driving him home, we went, and he was taking business calls. I was like, who is this young man? Hello. Hello, Mary. Like, oh, yeah, let's happy Wednesday. He's like, I'm gonna take care of that right away. But first I'm gonna connect you with my supervisor.

[Freddie]

Nice.

[Danielle]

I'm obsessed.

[Brooke]

Were you just sitting there like, he's like, first, I'm gonna handle this personally. Next, I'm going to elevate the issue. Like, you were really good at it.

[Danielle]

I love hearing, like, your guys's different sides that we don't say, you know, corporate customer service.

[Brooke]

So. So you switched. Kind of same industry, but a little de.

[Sal]

I switched from, like, more of, like, HR tech, like, selling, like, payroll and stuff like that. Now I do. I work for a medical tech company.

[Danielle]

Oh, Medtech.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Sal]

So we. Exactly. People ask me what I do. I'm like, medtech, let's keep it easy. We sell a software that's used by hospitals, wound care clinics, podiatry offices. Yeah. It's like how they order their supplies. I truly, honestly, I actually want to.

[Brooke]

Say something about, like, you and making the transition, because I don't know if it was the same for you, Freddie, but, like, I feel like Sal also, when he first started his job, I could see, like, the work life balance was struggling. Like, I feel like you were working.

[Sal]

I was miserable.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Sal]

A year ago today.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Well, you said you were getting up and just going to work and doing.

[Brooke]

It all over because you work too late. Right. Like, or it would pour over.

[Sal]

We'd have like 7am meetings multiple times a week. Suit and tie. 7am until 6, 6:30. I had no life.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

That's like, aggressive.

[Sal]

Especially right out of college. I was like, this is like, I.

[Danielle]

Don'T need to be so different right now.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you made good money. Like, and you definitely.

[Sal]

Job now is the polar opposite, which I love.

[Brooke]

Like, it's more. But you're also, like, excelling in that environment.

[Sal]

30, you got a. You get a remote day, which is awesome.

[Brooke]

Remote day.

[Freddie]

That is nice.

[Sal]

And I feel like that you do. A remote day is a game changer.

[Freddie]

I just heard about summer Fridays too.

[Sal]

Oh, yeah, My roommate has summer Friday. That's nice. We're just sitting on the couch watching Sopranos.

[Danielle]

He's like, yeah, I'm done watching some Friends.

[Sal]

12:30, he's laying on the couch. Yeah, I'm done.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's fun. I feel like you thrive more in an environment where it's less like the hour. Like, you are doing so much better. I mean, you were doing great in that job. Like, I feel like objectively, like you're one of the top performers in your company now because. Because of the like, looser structure almost. Does that make sense?

[Sal]

No, I agree.

[Danielle]

You can manage your time like what you need. I feel like I've noticed and mine's.

[Freddie]

Similar, like with the boat business. Coming out of college, lost my weekends. People look at boats, sea trial boats, Saturdays and Sunday and like it quickly went to. I have Wednesdays and some Thursdays off. And having no weekends for the first year and a half out of college was just dark. That's like not something that I really wanted for myself. So now to be an industry which is more stable than the boat business. And Monday through Friday, I mean, I'm on the road a lot, so I kind of make my own schedule and it definitely provides a lot more freedom.

[Danielle]

So you're both thriving.

[Brooke]

I feel like no one really tells you that, like when you're in college, like to look for the work life. Yeah. You just are like, oh my God, I want to get a job. Oh my God, I want to make money at least. Like that's like what my mind. But you don't think about how I actually feel like it's worth the pay cut to have the better work life balance.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Freddie]

Because overall you'll be happy and you'll do better in the job. Correct?

[Brooke]

Exactly.

[Freddie]

I mean that's.

[Danielle]

Yeah. I have a few friends that just recently. Recently like took a pay cut. But they like have better hours, like a 9 to 5 and not working on the weekends.

[Brooke]

Yeah, like that's a big. Right after college, like they work you and then like. Yeah, like that first role, like it's like a grinding role.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

And like you could do it. I mean, if you could do it, like, then I guess you keep going up.

[Sal]

Unless you're an investment banker.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Danielle]

You're working. Six to our thoughts and prayers to all of our I.B.

[Freddie]

See, I wonder how AI is going to change the landscape for investment bankers. All the analysis, all the entry level jobs, like, obviously the higher ups, you know, they know what they're doing. But the beginning level jobs, they're saying white collar jobs for AI is going to be a very unique setting and I'm excited to see how that kind of plays out.

[Brooke]

Honestly, AI, I love AI. Like, I feel like Chad is like the one AI that I like dabble with. Like, it's still very new to me. Is that like what else you use?

[Freddie]

I use rock 50 grock off of the Tesla.

[Sal]

Tesla.

[Brooke]

What is that? Oh, yeah, I don't know that one.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay, cool.

[Freddie]

And it has, like, an unhinged.

[Sal]

Supposedly it's the smartest one, apparently.

[Freddie]

And it has, like.

[Sal]

Which one's the smartest?

[Brooke]

People will be like, oh, my chat bot. I'm like, where do you, like, find? Like, is that an app or something? Like, you know, people think, oh, my chat. Like, my chat bot is like. They like a relationship with the chat bot.

[Freddie]

People are getting engaged and their psychosis being enabled from the AI.

[Sal]

It was chat GBT4. I read it this morning. Chat GBT4 got sunsetted for chat GBT5. Like, 5.0 just came out.

[Freddie]

What does sunset mean? What do you mean by that?

[Sal]

Like, close. They shut it down. Like, opened up.

[Danielle]

Opened up sunsets.

[Freddie]

I just know sunsets. You know, Florida.

[Sal]

They. They closed four, open five. And people that were in relationships with four, like, they lost that relationship. People were, like, throwing. Like, I shouldn't be making fun. No, no, no.

[Freddie]

You. You should be figuring your life out.

[Brooke]

Damn.

[Sal]

I know. But I was like, wow. Like, I didn't know that people could. How could you?

[Brooke]

Well, people have, like, use it as a therapist. I hear that all the time.

[Sal]

Yeah. Which is valid, I think. Like, you can make it do.

[Brooke]

You can make it do anything.

[Sal]

Like, it's crazy.

[Danielle]

Bounce ideas off.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Back in my day, we would talk to, like, other streamers. Like, we would just go on chat forms and say, what was that one? Yeah, well, that.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

If you really wanted to talk to strangers, I mean.

[Danielle]

That's right.

[Sal]

What was it?

[Freddie]

I wonder.

[Sal]

No.

[Freddie]

Or Omega.

[Sal]

Omega.

[Freddie]

Okay. Same thing.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Isn't that the. It is Omega.

[Freddie]

Random strangers.

[Sal]

Yeah, the video.

[Brooke]

I feel very qualified to speak on this topic as someone with a larger chest. You guys know over the years I've learned the art of wearing the right bra with every outfit. Truly. Okay, I'm telling you, skims is it. We're huge fans of skims and skims bras here on the podcast. But I have to tell you, I found one that like, I, I was shocked that I found like such an amazing use for and that is the ultimate strapless push up bra. I already have a larger chest, so I was like, why do I need a push up bra? I have to tell you guys, like, it doesn't matter whatever size your chest is if you have, you know, like a bigger size or a smaller size. And skims carries it all, let me tell you. But the strapless push up bra is, is amazing. I'm constantly wearing tops that I need a shoppers bra for, of course. But like I feel like my boobs just like they kind of fall flat, like they're not looking right. And I have to tell you, with the strapless push up problem, skims, like they just sit right. I've never received more compliments on my chest. I'm like, okay, all right, she's looking good. This is amazing. You don't have to do sticky boobs that like a fall off whatever. Like I make this work with so many outfits like when I attend weddings or big events. And that's why we need something that's going to lift the girls, make them look gorgeous and just to like make me feel like sexy and cute, you know. And that's why I love the ultimate strapless push up bra from skims. Okay, if you haven't already shopped bras From Skims. You can shop the Skims ultimate bra collection and [e-mail]. after you place your order, be sure to let them know we sent you select podcast in the survey and be sure to select our show in the drop down menu that follows. You guys are gonna love it.

[Danielle]

Chavet was hilarious. Like, what are we gonna get next? Yeah, I think Omega was like the same. Maybe I can't. I'm getting Omegle and UVU confused. And UVU was like a Skype. But you would like your friends. I remember I learned the lyrics to Super Bass by nicki minaj on oovu. Such a 2012 statement.

[Brooke]

But you would have to like a pre arrange. Like, you'd be like, we're uvoing, like when we get home.

[Danielle]

Yeah, like Skyping. Same thing. Like video call. It was. It's like FaceTime. It was FaceTime before FaceTime.

[Brooke]

Yes. And you could do groups.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I chat, remember?

[Brooke]

I chat. Yeah. Back before you guys didn't do like aim and stuff. You were like, after that, right? Yeah. I'm so sorry.

[Danielle]

For like a second.

[Brooke]

You don't know that. Oh, Instant messenger.

[Sal]

Ask fm.

[Danielle]

Ask fm.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. We had a version of that. We Form Spring.

[Danielle]

We had Form Spring and Ask fm. I remember we had both.

[Brooke]

Why did we do that?

[Danielle]

That was the original bully.

[Brooke]

Yeah. We like bullying.

[Danielle]

Ask if I'm like, people could Anonymous. Honestly.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Freddie]

Ask you a question.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

And it was always like, people from your school or like whenever we have.

[Freddie]

Conversations like this, I always think about Vine. I'm like, I can't believe Tick Tock just killed vines. Whatever happened. Yeah, I know. That's what Logan Paul, like, I think did well at in the beginning.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Jake's getting married right now.

[Brooke]

Between the two.

[Freddie]

Is he?

[Danielle]

Yeah, like actively.

[Brooke]

Right as we speak.

[Danielle]

Oh, as like today or yesterday, really? Or it's just a whole wedding weekend. It's happening this weekend in Lake Como.

[Brooke]

I must have. Is he posting in real time?

[Danielle]

I don't know about him.

[Brooke]

Sometimes. Like, our friend Jazz, she posted in real time at her wedding.

[Freddie]

Oh, like real time. Real time.

[Brooke]

Yes. Okay. We were literally commenting back and forth with her. Like, are when are you walking down the aisle? And like. Yeah, she was, like, replying.

[Danielle]

She was literally texting us.

[Freddie]

That's a lot. I feel like you want to be present.

[Brooke]

She actually was present, though. She had it all, like, pre arranged. Like, she like, saved the sound. Like, she did a lot of, like, pre. She did a lot pre, you know, so that she could just like, film it basically and like, get it up.

[Danielle]

So I know Freddie has. Have you had any, like, friends get married yet? Like, any.

[Freddie]

I've been to a lot of weddings recently.

[Sal]

Wow.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Sal]

I haven't been to a wedding, but we had. I had a kid that I played lacrosse with all four years. He was Canadian.

[Freddie]

He was Canadian.

[Sal]

He got. He got married like, three weeks after we graduated.

[Danielle]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

Did you go to the wedding like, your age?

[Sal]

Yeah, he was my age. I would like, he was in my class and then that.

[Brooke]

No, he didn't.

[Sal]

The only one.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I guess because.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Because where are they from?

[Freddie]

From college or from college from, like elementary school and a lot of college. Just being in the South, I think a lot of people started.

[Danielle]

I was only going to ask, which. We won't go down that road because I feel like you guys won't have enough to say. But, like, we've been loving talking about weddings because we're starting to go to some.

[Freddie]

Well, one thing I think it's a recap next year with being in the moment at the weddings is they actually sometimes tell people now to not video on your own. Your own phones. And I was like, the first wedding, they didn't say that. And people are during the ceremony jumping.

[Sal]

Out of their seat.

[Brooke]

I find that so inappropriate.

[Freddie]

I'm like, you got invited to be a spectator. Like, not.

[Sal]

What are we doing?

[Freddie]

There's so many cameras. Yeah.

[Danielle]

Your iPhone photos.

[Freddie]

And where are you gonna send that? Like, they're no.

[Brooke]

And great aunt what Sally wants to complete.

[Freddie]

Yeah. Bangles are shot. I'm like, dude.

[Danielle]

And they zoom.

[Brooke]

And then they don't even end up, like, taking the right photo. You know when you see them like. And you're like, you. You didn't even take the botched it. Yeah.

[Danielle]

They're like videoing it on accident. Yeah.

[Freddie]

It's like, definitely at my wedding. No phones allowed. I don't even want them in the room.

[Brooke]

No EMFs detected.

[Freddie]

I know. People will like, turn their phone on airplane mode at night sometimes because they think they're getting the. The emf. I'm so sure I don't do that.

[Brooke]

Opposite of these things.

[Freddie]

I don't know.

[Brooke]

It's like the rays, you know, the radio joke. I feel like.

[Danielle]

Lol. No worries.

[Brooke]

Yeah. No, Sal hasn't really. Only our cousin's wedding that was. Or two cousins. Just you wait south really high, though. We had two. Our two wedding.

[Danielle]

Excellent.

[Sal]

Yeah, that was a good one.

[Brooke]

Yeah. And then Emily is at the mansion.

[Danielle]

The mansion and a mansion I don't know.

[Brooke]

It was like another, like, historic mansion, like, on the.

[Freddie]

Gorgeous.

[Sal]

It was a good one.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Really great winnings. What good food.

[Danielle]

Do you guys have a family trip this year at all? Are you guys doing? I feel like you guys always do, like a Thanksgiving trip.

[Brooke]

Oh, Greece next year.

[Danielle]

Yeah, Go to Greece.

[Brooke]

Mentioned. Yes.

[Sal]

Florida.

[Danielle]

Florida. Yes, because they have a Florida. Florida.

[Brooke]

Florida. What about you guys?

[Danielle]

No, we have divorced my parents. You know, I would have put it past us, but no trip. I wanna. We wanna go to the Keys together one day.

[Freddie]

Yes, definitely.

[Sal]

Sweet.

[Brooke]

Wait, what if we do it? Dare I say, we were joking about.

[Freddie]

That before you got here. Yeah.

[Danielle]

I was interested.

[Brooke]

Yeah, no, I'm interested. What are you doing? The Keys.

[Freddie]

So hopefully the idea is. So unfortunately, our boat.

[Danielle]

What the Keys are.

[Freddie]

But our boat sank in Hurricane Helene. Dark rip.

[Danielle]

Very dark. That's Freddie's thing.

[Freddie]

We love that.

[Brooke]

That is very dark.

[Freddie]

Yeah. And the little.

[Danielle]

It's a good way to use the word.

[Freddie]

Yeah. I mean, we had water in the house. Was the whole thing.

[Danielle]

Yeah. But I said on the podcast, don't worry.

[Freddie]

Yeah. We're gonna possibly get a boat that will allow us to go from our house to the Keys or to the Bahamas.

[Danielle]

Whoa.

[Freddie]

So the idea would be, you know, we get an Airbnb on the water. You know, everybody flies in and meets us. Sal, you'd come to Tampa and we run the boat.

[Danielle]

Sal, you from.

[Brooke]

Sal, you are allowed.

[Sal]

You're allowed.

[Freddie]

It's like a six and a half hour boat ride from the house.

[Brooke]

Oh, you would love that.

[Freddie]

Super fun. And you hopefully get glass weather the entire way. And then we lobster, we spear fish, we sun, you know, whatever we want to do. Explore.

[Brooke]

Collect lobsters.

[Freddie]

Yes. Yeah, that's what I was just down there.

[Danielle]

We'll have to put photos in the newsletter.

[Freddie]

Use a net and a tickle stick and you just whack them out of the rocks.

[Danielle]

Only during certain times.

[Sal]

I've only been fishing a handful of times.

[Freddie]

Super fun down there.

[Brooke]

I do.

[Sal]

Every time I've done it, I've had a blast.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Sal]

But I don't like commercial fishing boats. Like, that's what. You know what I mean?

[Freddie]

We'll troll for mahi and.

[Brooke]

But you like fish.

[Freddie]

For sure. No, we got to get this one in the water. She gets a little weird. That's the thing with the Keys.

[Sal]

You can see everything.

[Freddie]

The bottom of the floor from up top, you know, 40ft of water is crystal clear.

[Danielle]

They literally.

[Freddie]

You can see the sharks coming.

[Danielle]

If they're coming, you Know, I'm in my shark era.

[Freddie]

Didn't Shark Week just happen? I know.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

One, two, three.

[Freddie]

She wasn't allowed to watch that growing up.

[Danielle]

Let me watch it.

[Sal]

Fix it.

[Danielle]

She was. No. And it was just the 50th anniversary. I don't know if you guys.

[Freddie]

Yeah, I didn't know.

[Danielle]

Yep. Well, now. Now you know. Yeah. Literally Shark Week.

[Brooke]

So that freaks me out. But I would be interested in, like.

[Danielle]

You can sit on the boat.

[Freddie]

It'd be a really fun trip. Yeah. Key west is like a whole.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Freddie]

Whole place.

[Danielle]

Party town.

[Freddie]

Honestly, there's a lot going on there. A lot of interesting people.

[Sal]

If you were going to drive there, how far is it from you?

[Brooke]

You can't take a ferry.

[Danielle]

You drive to Miami.

[Freddie]

Well, no, you can drive.

[Danielle]

Well, no, I know. I'm just. For math purpose.

[Freddie]

Yeah. It's like four hours, so it's like nine with stops. So the boat's better because Key west is the last. Boat's better. Yeah. Yeah.

[Danielle]

I've only done it once, and it's.

[Freddie]

Like a really cheap flight into Key West.

[Brooke]

No, you don't know.

[Danielle]

You don't have to take a ferry, right?

[Freddie]

No. You guys are probably flying.

[Danielle]

There's like, Miami from each key.

[Freddie]

There's a ferry from Fort Myers. It's like four hours.

[Danielle]

Oh, like a For fun one.

[Freddie]

Yeah. Well, that takes you to Key west.

[Danielle]

The long route option to take ferry. Brook's already looking it up.

[Brooke]

I'm probably just gonna fly direct.

[Freddie]

I would just fly to Key West.

[Danielle]

Yeah, sure. There's a little party.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow.

[Freddie]

It's like a 50 flight from Tampa.

[Sal]

It's awesome.

[Brooke]

Delta might be a little more, but that's okay.

[Freddie]

I know.

[Danielle]

That's okay.

[Freddie]

I know. Funny story. So I bought with Silver Airlines this first time. Silver or Silver Airways for 45. Two weeks later, they go bankrupt. I'm like, no. Yeah. Of course they refunded. But I was like, maybe they should have been charging a little bit more.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Freddie]

My life is.

[Sal]

I did.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

They said that they only have, like, a year left of funds or something.

[Danielle]

I feel like that's not good. I feel like people love spirit.

[Sal]

Yeah, but how could you stay in business if you charge 50?

[Danielle]

Like, yeah, it's so cheap.

[Brooke]

I have no problem. Like, I feel like Southwest is the best value of the budget.

[Freddie]

I haven't analyzed that.

[Sal]

They just changed their.

[Danielle]

To pay for your bag.

[Sal]

They just end the. There's no more.

[Brooke]

No more free bags.

[Sal]

No. The seating.

[Danielle]

Oh, yeah, they're going to.

[Sal]

Do you know how it's always just like, yes, pick your spot.

[Freddie]

Oh, it's not like that.

[Danielle]

Which that I would love to see go. Because we just flew southwestern.

[Brooke]

So stressful.

[Danielle]

You're a 22. Well, I'm a 21. Like, it's too much.

[Brooke]

I know when you get in the.

[Sal]

Do it in zones and just flood the people on, it's like, no, that's my seat.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Like, I don't want to, like work. And then you see people put their bags on the middle seats and hopes you don't sit there. It's just a whole, whole thing. So I'm so here for that. So I say we get into our panic of the week. So excited. Does anyone want to start? Anyone feeling you started off okay, Danielle.

[Brooke]

You'Ve been going through. You have a lot of like updates. You've been moving, you've been.

[Danielle]

Yeah, lots of things. My panic of the week is move related because we obviously, we love roadway moving. Like, they packed everything so well. But the first night at our apartment, Ryan was leaving for a trip the next day. And you know, like when you're unpacking, it's like there's so much going on and you don't know where anything is. Like, yes, they label, like bathroom and stuff. We could not. All I wanted to do at the end of the night, we had, you know, dust ever just moving stuff. All I wanted was to take a shower. We could not find towels. Like, just trying to find everything. And then Ryan is literally at midnight, he's like, where's my cowboy hat? I'm like, he's trying to.

[Sal]

Ryan and his cowboy.

[Danielle]

He wanted to lay us. Well, I thought maybe he wanted to maybe bring it to Kentucky. And then he was like, forget it, I don't need it.

[Brooke]

Kentucky bachelor party.

[Danielle]

And yep, they're like doing bourbon and whiskey or whatever.

[Freddie]

Maybe he did want the cowboy.

[Brooke]

Maybe he did.

[Sal]

Maybe.

[Freddie]

Yeah. I mean, that's.

[Danielle]

But guys, I eventually found it. He was already gone. They had packed it in his own box.

[Freddie]

Oh, nice.

[Danielle]

All this paper. And it was just the frickin cowboy.

[Brooke]

To be like, is it a hat that has structure?

[Danielle]

Yes, it's like a big Stetson. Like big old hat, real hat.

[Brooke]

Where do you buy that type of hat?

[Danielle]

He bought it in Georgia back in the day. But it was just. The panic is like getting ready to podcast today. I'm like, where are my hairbrushes? You know, like, this is like trying to find things. So it was a light, it was a very green panic. I'd say, you know, if we're doing green, yellow, red. Very green panic for me.

[Brooke]

You've been. The videos you were making with Ryan, it was very wholesome.

[Danielle]

Oh, yeah. I was unpacking.

[Brooke]

You're, like, jumping in the box.

[Danielle]

I know. I was pushing down the paper.

[Brooke]

I was like, wow. When we moved in, it was, like, definitely, like, fun and cute, but, like, I don't know if it was as like, we throwing the paper.

[Danielle]

I was like, is my airbrush. No. Well, then. Then that was before the towels. Then. Then we're trying to find the towels. And it's really crazy being in the, like, a two bedroom apartment, too, because, like, we have. I mean, maybe you're used to this. Like, we have two rooms. So I'm like, where is Ryan? Like, then I was, like, trying to find him. Like, oh, you're in there. Like, it's fun to have multiple rooms.

[Brooke]

That's a nice problem, actually, to have is. I can't hear you. Can't hear you. That's my. Our new thing.

[Danielle]

Can't hear you.

[Brooke]

Yeah. And I'll be saying something, and he's like, you're in your closet. I can't hear you.

[Danielle]

Like, yeah, no, it's true. It's fun. Fun. It's been fun. But he honestly hasn't really been here, so he's gonna get back on Sunday and the apartment will be ready to go.

[Brooke]

Look. What?

[Danielle]

You know, it is my fault.

[Brooke]

Lucky him.

[Danielle]

We did have the apartment since August 1st, but, like, I was away and I said, you can't move in until.

[Brooke]

Like, I wanted to do. I know, I know. And you've been doing all the content. It's been really eating. I saw, I'm sure. Of something. It was like, I know. Me working hard because Danielle, Carolyn's apartment.

[Danielle]

I know. I'm seeing tick tocks. They're nice. They've been nice.

[Brooke]

What do you know? They're excellent.

[Danielle]

I was scared to read the. The comments.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's always ripping off the band aid. But no, they're like. And we love her for it.

[Danielle]

Yeah. They're like, you know what I love it for? It was nice. So that's my panic. Who wants to go next? Brook, I want to hear about Vegas.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I just came. I'm coming back from Vegas.

[Danielle]

She went straight from the Hampton.

[Sal]

Vegas.

[Brooke]

I went straight from there.

[Freddie]

That's got to be an interesting place.

[Brooke]

Yes. Yes, it was. And, like, going into it, I knew I was like, okay, Vegas. Like I've been before. Like, I was like, okay, it's going to be like A time, whatever. Have you guys ever been to today?

[Sal]

No, I want to go.

[Freddie]

I was like 8 years old, so can't really count.

[Danielle]

Very different.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's like a fun place to go as an adult for sure. Like, it's really is like you feel like you're in an alternative reality. That's the best way that I could describe it because it's like everything is enormous. There's so many people. You're like, where the did all these people come from? And it really is people from everywhere in the country. Like, you see all different types of people.

[Freddie]

Like, New York is like that too, right?

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

But that's how I feel when I come here. Different, though, because of like, you hop.

[Freddie]

On the subway here, you see everything.

[Brooke]

True, true. But I feel like because of the like, gambling scene and like, that type of thing.

[Freddie]

Like, different person energies coming out too. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yes. Like, that's just the best way that I can describe it.

[Danielle]

Okay, so she was on a Bondi Boost brand trip.

[Brooke]

Yes. That we love them so much.

[Freddie]

I think I saw your story of the person that met you at the airport. They like, they looked kind of wild or whatever.

[Danielle]

Or am I thinking, oh, oh, oh, yeah. One of the brand girls dressed up.

[Brooke]

Oh, yes, she was dressed up.

[Danielle]

Like, is Freddie who? Your close friends.

[Brooke]

Freddie's not on the post.

[Danielle]

I was like, you're referring to something.

[Brooke]

If you want to be on my Ghostface. Oh, I'm referencing this. Okay. So I stayed out, I guess the last night. We went to Sophie Tucker, which is like a EDM group. And of course, I just. I had to be the last one to leave.

[Sal]

Like I was gonna say you got rowdy. I was looking on your skin because.

[Brooke]

I was just loving it, honestly, Like.

[Danielle]

I was just thriving day.

[Brooke]

We were at an outside club until like 2:30am you had excess.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I love that. That's where I went. Oh, yes, that's very. So G's fun.

[Brooke]

You went like, a long time ago, right? Were you?

[Danielle]

No, I was just there with Ryan. Oh, I forgot that's where we went with Fibula.

[Brooke]

Duh.

[Danielle]

Duh.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

That was xs. You're indoor, outdoor. Goodbye.

[Brooke]

We were mostly outdoor and it was like 97 degrees. It's so hot in Vegas, guys. During the day party, I almost went down.

[Sal]

Isn't it dry?

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's really dry. It was 106 and I actually had to, like, leave. I texted them. I was like, I'm so sorry, I'm not going to make it.

[Danielle]

Got to go back to the room.

[Brooke]

Yes. You know, people think that podcasting is just us yapping into a mic, but let me tell you, I feel like my brain personally doesn't shut off when I turn the mic off. We are planning episodes. We are, you know, waking up at 3:00am, you know, having that crazy spiral when you're like, oh my gosh, wait, should I have said that? And maybe overthinking, like what we're putting out on social media, what we're vlogging about. Because you know, Danielle and I like, we're multi faceted girls. We're all over the web.

[Brooke]

But at night, outside partying, I. I literally multiple groups of people go home until it's like me and two other influencers and the brand people. I was like, oh, shit. Like, everybody went home. Okay.

[Danielle]

And you're usually team Go.

[Brooke]

I wouldn't have even made it to.

[Danielle]

The start, like, but when DJs are in play was like a house festival.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it was just good music. Like, I was just vibing, you know, we had a good situation going, so I went home really late on the bus home, like, let's take tequila poles.

[Freddie]

On the way home.

[Danielle]

On the way home. Yeah. That's crazy.

[Brooke]

Somehow.

[Danielle]

Yeah. I'm just gonna go back to my room after taking these.

[Brooke]

I don't know why. Like, it was so dumb. Yeah.

[Danielle]

Like, I was like, but I love that. Live a little. Yeah, I did live a little.

[Brooke]

Little. But then also that same night, I was convinced by other girls. I heard and mentioned that they moved up their flight. They were like, oh, we moved our flight up. By the way, brooke, to the 9am if you want to join. And you know me, I'm Team Go. I love to leave. So. And we're. We're only 11. So I was like, no, I'm with You. I'll move to the nine.

[Freddie]

Nice.

[Brooke]

I went fell asleep at like four, you know what I mean?

[Danielle]

I saw you filmed like a video.

[Brooke]

I filmed a whole ass video. I fell asleep. I think it was 4:15. So I fell asleep 7:15. I wake up, I was like, like oh, I'm not doing well today. Like I'm not doing well. I was burping up the tequila. I, I physically in my, my eyes couldn't open all the way cuz they were like. I was like, but I just have to get home, you know? So I'm just doing my things. I'm just moving in one line. Like I'm like, I can make it, I can make it. And I like walk up to the stand like to check my bag. And the Delta woman first she said are, are you okay? Oh like she looked like I was okay. I was like, yes. No, I'm. I'm okay.

[Danielle]

That sucks.

[Brooke]

Hung over. But I'm gonna.

[Sal]

Vegas.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I'm surprised. In Vegas she's asking if you're okay.

[Brooke]

But she put me in, upgraded me to comfort and put me in the aisle, which is fine. No one next to me. She's like, I put it. Yeah. Thank you so much.

[Danielle]

Give you some space on the plane, my dear.

[Brooke]

And I knew I looked like, like I did. I posted my stories like, hey, I look like, like I, you know, it's a random hungover day, like coming home from Vegas. But I got this message that sent me into orbit. I have to read it out loud.

[Freddie]

Orbit?

[Danielle]

Omg.

[Brooke]

I saw you at the airport and I was going to ask if you were okay. I'm on the same flight as you. Hahahaha. Wait.

[Freddie]

Oh, you were down bad.

[Brooke]

New paragraph. If it's any consolation, you are so much skinnier in person.

[Danielle]

You're gorgeous. You're like so at least I'm slaying. I look great.

[Brooke]

She was literally on my flight when she messaged me that I never met her, but I just thought that that was such an unhinged message.

[Danielle]

She's like, I was gonna ask if you were okay too. You're like, what do I look like?

[Brooke]

Balance of if I was okay. But also I'm gorgeous and skinny.

[Danielle]

So not even a backhanded compliment. It's like evens out.

[Brooke]

That's what I.

[Danielle]

Perfect.

[Brooke]

That's what I I People were like, I showed it to a few friends. They're like, oh my God, are you fine?

[Sal]

I was like, no.

[Brooke]

She, she says I'm gorgeous.

[Danielle]

Yeah, like waves. I like that comment I am up. I'm so up.

[Brooke]

I'm up.

[Danielle]

I'm winning. I'm winning. Yeah.

[Brooke]

So anyways, don't recommend flying when you're hungover. It's just not a good time.

[Danielle]

Brooke and I have this little bit where she gets really upset because I'll, like, be with, like, someone I don't know as well and eat, like, escargot. Or I'll try seafood stuff that like. Like, you would probably be mad, too, because it's like, you would never do that with me.

[Brooke]

I've never seen you eat seafood before.

[Freddie]

Did you have escargot recently?

[Danielle]

In the last few years? And Brooke was like, really? You're gonna try escaro without me?

[Brooke]

But you won't even have mayonnaise on a sandwich.

[Danielle]

Yeah. You know, it's like that Brook's not around all of a sudden. I'm trying new things, but now I have a new thing. Brooks taking handle pulls without me. I'm like, I. If there was a vodka handle right there, I would have been in there with you. So this is my. We're even now.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

That's even worse.

[Freddie]

That's what I say to her.

[Brooke]

Thank you.

[Danielle]

Yeah. If I like tequila.

[Sal]

Ninth grade.

[Freddie]

Yeah, exactly. That's how I feel about vodka. I'm like, no.

[Brooke]

Cool.

[Danielle]

Yeah. So you guys don't take pulls, I guess.

[Freddie]

No.

[Brooke]

Wow. Yeah. You definitely would have enjoyed the polls. It is really funny, though, because it's like, I get wild. I get kind of wild. I feel like, sometimes. And Danielle happens to not be there. Like, you've never seen me in, like, a concert environment or anything.

[Danielle]

Like, I know. We tried. You tried. It didn't work. The Mirage is, like, just not open.

[Brooke]

They're bankrupt.

[Sal]

Yeah, they're bankrupt.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Everybody's.

[Sal]

I never went to. Never got there.

[Freddie]

Wow.

[Sal]

Unfortunate.

[Brooke]

I think.

[Sal]

Don't you think someone's going to buy it?

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's what they're saying. I don't know.

[Danielle]

Well, there's Forest Hills, which is one of.

[Brooke]

Forest Hills is sick.

[Freddie]

Was that where Asher.

[Sal]

I want to go there.

[Danielle]

That's where Freddy's played tennis before, Right?

[Freddie]

Let's go.

[Brooke]

Disclosure. I got tickets. Let's go. If anybody wants to just go, I love. It's an open invite.

[Danielle]

Be there.

[Brooke]

Flume and Disclosure would just get me just disclosure.

[Danielle]

But it will be really fun.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Okay.

[Danielle]

But overall, Vegas was fun.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God, it was so much fun.

[Danielle]

It looked amazing. It was, like, the perfect amount of time. They picked you guys up in a party bus from the airport. Right.

[Brooke]

Everything was just like. Like from the start, like, it was.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Bondi Boost knows how to do a brand trip.

[Brooke]

Oh, and the group.

[Sal]

What is. What do you keep saying?

[Brooke]

Bondi Boost. It's a shampoo conditioner, like, you know, but it's, like, to promote hair growth and, like, fullness, basically. But it's, like, for. I think anybody could use it.

[Danielle]

Like, I mean, it's like Orion uses it.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah. No, it's, like, for anybody. And they just came out with my scalp drops, like, you know, like that.

[Sal]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

But I use the shampoo conditioner.

[Freddie]

I love it.

[Sal]

And that's a good spot.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Oh, I use the heated.

[Freddie]

Fun word.

[Danielle]

Yeah. It's a good one.

[Brooke]

But they're Australian, so we went to.

[Danielle]

The Thunder down Under.

[Brooke]

I don't even want to call it. Male strippers.

[Freddie]

What?

[Brooke]

An Australian show that's, like, what they took us to.

[Danielle]

A male dancing magic.

[Brooke]

They never got naked.

[Danielle]

I saw undies. I feel like I saw.

[Brooke]

Yeah, no, for sure there was.

[Danielle]

But the thing is that strip club, I don't think they're always naked.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Freddie]

I think that's city by city.

[Brooke]

Oh. Oh, okay.

[Freddie]

Tampa is the capital of the world for strip clubs, apparently, which I didn't know about.

[Danielle]

Oh, yeah. People always, like, see you go to strip club.

[Brooke]

I'm like, what do you mean?

[Freddie]

Yeah. No, it's weird. You would think t. I know, like, international people come to Tampa, like, for the strip clubs, and it's like, wow. Does not make sense.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah, no, me neither. But I also don't frequent strip club, so I guess I don't know that the best ones are.

[Danielle]

Yes. Okay, Sal, what are we picking? Panicked about this panic.

[Sal]

So my panic was a little bit different.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Sal]

Like, I had. I would say I had, like, a real panic.

[Danielle]

Okay.

[Sal]

So I'm a subway guy. Like.

[Danielle]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sal]

From work five days, six days a week. Like, four times already today. I've been.

[Brooke]

Four times today.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Sal]

Well, to work. I went to work this morning from work. Haircut back from haircuts. Actually, this would be 5 and 6.

[Brooke]

You're getting that free. You're getting the free swipes. Then, like.

[Sal]

So earlier in the week, I'm a big. Just airpods in.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Sal]

I'm not talking to anybody. I'm not looking at anybody. Like, I don't sit. I stand. I hold on. We stop. You know, if you've ever been on subway, you stop. It's like you're on the ground, your phone goes into sos. I'm screwed.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Sal]

So we stop about five minutes in to stop. Like, dead stop. I'm like, all right, like, we got a problem here. Like, I gotta go to work. Like, it's like eight something in the morning.

[Brooke]

Was it today or earlier?

[Sal]

This was earlier this week.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Sal]

And then we end up. I hear them, like the multiple times. I hear them over my AirPods. Like, start talking over the intercom. Like, all right, maybe I'll take my headphones out for this. Like, now. It's been enough time.

[Danielle]

Let me listen.

[Sal]

There's a fire in the front of the car.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. I didn't even know.

[Sal]

Yes, there was a. There was a fire in the front of the subway car.

[Freddie]

That's crazy.

[Sal]

Where. If anybody listening knows the 2, 3 line we're under. We just passed Chambers. We're going to 14th Street. So we're like middle smack underground at a time.

[Brooke]

How did that. How did that happen? How does it just light on fire? Spontaneous combustion?

[Sal]

No idea. So everything gets backed up. 30, 40 minutes go by. They go, we're reversing out of here. And they took us reversing all the way back, all the way to Chambers Street. So I was like, all right. Like, this is for the first time. Like, there's always crazy that happens on this all. I thought you were going to say.

[Brooke]

Like, someone did a show or something.

[Sal]

No, that's every day.

[Brooke]

That's every day. But, like, sometimes the shows are more.

[Sal]

Of a strip club until you come. Until you're coming back from Long island and you're hungover and you're on a train and they're swinging off the bar. It's like, get out of my face, please. Get away from me.

[Freddie]

Right.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Wow, that is a bad. Glad you're okay. And they reversed you guys right back to Chambers.

[Brooke]

Perfect. I've never had that. Yeah.

[Freddie]

Mine is somewhat similar, but no fire involved.

[Sal]

Okay.

[Freddie]

I was on the road going to a meeting yesterday. Yesterday. And we're at a red light. The big truck in front of me starts to drive, and he happens to see an ambulance on the left side of the intersection. The middle lane and other left lane did not see this ambulance and kept going. So he just nails on his brakes under the green light, and so I just hit him.

[Sal]

Right, right.

[Freddie]

Yeah, I know. New truck. I know. And like, it was a industrial flatbed, so he had no crumble. So, like, it really. It was a solid hit. It. And so I was starting to stress. I was like, I have three meetings, then I had to head to Sarasota. So it was A whole thing.

[Danielle]

And then a flight.

[Freddie]

And then a flight. And so thankfully, the truck was operable and just had to wait for the.

[Brooke]

What type of truck can I have?

[Sal]

Company truck.

[Freddie]

My cup. Yeah, I know. It's kind of a gray area with.

[Brooke]

Like, a pickup truck.

[Freddie]

Yeah. And then his was, like, a big.

[Sal]

Yeah, he had a flatbed.

[Freddie]

It was. It was. It was crumbled a little bit. But I was able to continue on with the day and take care of everything and then make the airport. And we were dialed in.

[Sal]

Dial.

[Brooke]

We talked about the Florida drivers.

[Freddie]

They're crazy. Well, he kept telling me, he was like, I was scared that if I ran the green light, I would have gotten the camera citation because there's an ambulance and I'm in a truck, but nobody else.

[Danielle]

Was it going the other way.

[Freddie]

And I'm like, well, what's the law here? Like, nobody stopped. You just nailed your brakes. You didn't go to the right.

[Brooke]

So did the cops come?

[Freddie]

Yeah, we did an exchange of insurance.

[Danielle]

The whole time.

[Freddie]

Yeah, through the cops. Because he was in a company vehicle, and so.

[Brooke]

Yeah, the company needs a report. Yeah.

[Danielle]

I was like, you don't need to fly today. It's fine. But also, please, I need your help. No, don't feel pressured. But if you do the doors, I need you here. Yeah, I do need you. No, but he called me. He wasn't even gonna tell me. I was like, how are you? He's like, well, I am driving in my car, and I did get in an accident. Like, what?

[Freddie]

I didn't even think it was that bad, but, like, my face did hit the steering wheel, which was crazy. And then the windshield, the. The. The windows on the sides were pushed forward from the G force, but I was only going, like, 28 miles per hour.

[Sal]

What do you mean for 28? You'd be surprised, though. 28's actually. And he was hit to hit a solid, solid stop, too.

[Freddie]

He wasn't moving, I guess, at that time, where he was slowing.

[Sal]

And they're not hitting a Prius.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Freddie]

Wait, like the two. The two mirrors. The two mirrors. The G force had pushed them. Pushed him to be, like, facing forward.

[Danielle]

What did he mean by G force?

[Freddie]

I don't.

[Danielle]

You know, it's the force. The actual force of hitting.

[Brooke]

Yeah. You know, I'm starting to get physics when it's like, you know, it's been a minute. Moving at, like. I actually didn't even take physics, so.

[Danielle]

I don't even know why you didn't. Oh, that was the worst.

[Brooke]

We definitely Didn't Physics.

[Danielle]

You weren't required to take physics. No, we took physics.

[Freddie]

Oh, yeah. Well, in high school, probably.

[Sal]

I don't.

[Danielle]

High school.

[Brooke]

I mean, I don't think that was, like, the one Optional. Like, you had.

[Danielle]

Maybe it's a machine and you have.

[Brooke]

To do earth science. But then, like, physical physics was, like, optional. I was like.

[Danielle]

Which I agree with, by the way. I mean. Well, clearly I don't remember it, so maybe I shouldn't use it. But I, like, feel like you don't really need physics as much as maybe chemistry. I don't know.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

If you're passionate.

[Sal]

What do you need chemistry for if you're not?

[Danielle]

But also chemistry. Unless you're not going into, like, medical.

[Brooke]

I don't know. Yes.

[Danielle]

Callback.

[Brooke]

Sal uses chemistry all the time.

[Sal]

No, that's the thing. I don't like. I don't. I saw software. I don't do anything on the back.

[Danielle]

You're Jason, though. Okay, guys, we're gonna do some rapid fire questions because the girlies, the gal pals, were very, very excited when we said the bell.

[Sal]

My buddy started submitting.

[Brooke]

Yes, we did. See.

[Danielle]

So I think. I mean, there's definitely a lot of dating questions now. I feel you guys. I don't. I. Now how about we do some, like, guys opinions on things?

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Danielle]

What are your thoughts on girls making the first move?

[Brooke]

Free question.

[Sal]

I'm all for it.

[Danielle]

All for us. I was all for it. Slide in, baby. What about you, Freddy?

[Freddie]

I think it's only a win.

[Sal]

Yeah, that's what I feel like. It can't hurt.

[Freddie]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

When girls are nervous, they shouldn't be nervous.

[Brooke]

But what are we talking about for first move? Texting first approaching you at a bar. That's a very good question.

[Danielle]

Clear up.

[Brooke]

What would you, like, like, if a girl came up to you at a bar and was like, how's it going? Like, would you be receptive to that?

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Sal]

I'd be like, oh, she's got the balls to.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Freddie]

Depends on how she does it. Of course, if it seems like she does it every single day, it's going.

[Brooke]

To be a little od.

[Sal]

A little bit of a red flag.

[Freddie]

Yeah, maybe a little bit red flag. But as long as she's, like, sincere about it, maybe she, like, says something.

[Danielle]

But, like, something specific, like. Yeah, like, what would. What would be something good for a girl to say to you? Like, something about what you're drinking or like. Or is it. If a girl said something about sports, would you guys be like, this is performative.

[Brooke]

Like, what would you, like, trying, Like a girl trying?

[Danielle]

I'm like, what girl says, oh, no, like you're trying.

[Brooke]

Like, does it seem like if you're like, yes.

[Danielle]

Yeah, like. Like, what's. What should a girl say?

[Brooke]

I don't know.

[Freddie]

I mean, whenever I approach girls, I'm very. Just like, whatever I'm thinking, you know? So, like, I think as long as they're sincere and genuine and it's chill, like, that's all that matters.

[Danielle]

So they.

[Freddie]

We'll let them know quick if we're interested, and then just like they do to us, you know, it's like, easy to make smell.

[Brooke]

Like when you're both approaching a bar. Like, get a drink at the same time. Like, you can be like, oh, that looks good. Like. Like, isn't there, like, this bit? Like, you can just kind of have a bit?

[Danielle]

No, you guys are.

[Sal]

You guys love this work bit.

[Brooke]

I got a.

[Freddie]

They do love the word bit.

[Danielle]

We have lots of bits.

[Sal]

20 times.

[Brooke]

That's.

[Sal]

I'm not hating it.

[Brooke]

That's my new bit.

[Danielle]

That's the word. No, Brooke especially gets bits like, she's. I mean, I'm right there with you. The floor.

[Sal]

I have to adopt this.

[Danielle]

Yeah, it's fine.

[Sal]

I kind of like.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Thoughts on girls making the first move?

[Brooke]

We just did that.

[Danielle]

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I meant the one above it. What's the best way to hint to a guy you like him? It's kind of similar, but, like, I don't know.

[Sal]

I think it's a case by case.

[Brooke]

Like, is it upping the communication? Is it, like, have we been friends.

[Freddie]

For a long time?

[Sal]

Very fair. Very fair. I think both of those are okay, in my opinion. I think, like, if somebody you know and you're in person with often, like, I think touch is probably just like opening the door or it's like communicating with somebody. You're texting with them. It's like, all right. They're answering, like, every. Yeah, clearly. They are responding very fast.

[Danielle]

What are your thoughts on that?

[Sal]

What?

[Danielle]

Like, responding fast.

[Sal]

I'm a. I'm a responder fast.

[Brooke]

Like, you don't put stock in, like. Like, oh, like, you know, I reply quick, so I'm more interested in stuff.

[Danielle]

You know, put that on.

[Sal]

I feel like it's a response.

[Danielle]

So you don't think it's weird if a girl, like, responds semi quick?

[Sal]

Yeah, if you're like, I think it drives me nuts when you get a girl who won't reply.

[Danielle]

You hear this, girls? I am so in a line with you guys, like, not too much, though.

[Freddie]

Don't like double text, you know, triple text.

[Danielle]

Double text is fine.

[Brooke]

Sounds like. I don't care about that. You got. Because you kind of do flow stream of consciousness texting you.

[Sal]

Yeah, no, Like, I'll be like, I couldn't be a victim of that.

[Freddie]

Oh, you just like.

[Danielle]

So you like that back?

[Sal]

I like this text.

[Danielle]

Yeah. Like, wait, but you don't like double text, so maybe.

[Freddie]

I mean, if we're texting and then it's kind of like there's nothing to talk about. Don't just try and make conversation. Like, let's make plans.

[Sal]

Fair.

[Freddie]

I'd rather make plans, spend time in person. You know what I mean?

[Danielle]

So if you see a lull, let's try and see each other.

[Freddie]

But I feel like New York is very different than, like, dating in, like, any other state, you know, where. It's like, in New York, people are very busy. It's very, like, oriented around meeting and having time. Whereas, like, down south, like, people make time to watch the sunset together or people make time to go have a coffee. Like, it's just a very different sunset here, too.

[Danielle]

Freddie.

[Freddie]

Yeah, yeah. You guys are too busy. Yeah, it's just.

[Brooke]

It's. It's. Honestly.

[Danielle]

I know what you mean, though. I know. Yeah, for sure.

[Brooke]

That's really funny.

[Danielle]
