A
Foreign. Welcome back to the Blondest podcast. I'm in the hot seat right now. Well, I guess I would say Ryan's in the hot seat, but I am in Savannah Sea. Savannah is still out of town, so we are one episode short. So Brian and I are going to be filming in. I have Ryan here basically against his will so that I don't have to do a solo episode because honestly, I don't know what I would talk about. I'm. Savannah is phenomenal at talking. She can talk to herself for hours. I simply cannot do that. So we have Ryan here today. My boyfriend, my love. Thank you for saving me personally, but we posted on the podcast and. Or on the Instagram asking for some questions and just gonna get to know Ryan a little bit. I mean, he's now so much more than just one of the most important people in my life, but he is at Savannah Boda aesthetics. He has been a huge savior to me there as well. So let's just start out by hearing a little bit about yourself. Yeah, I looked at the questions a little bit, so I'm gonna try to ask something that's not.
- [01:20]
B
I think you should ask it. Yeah, from you? Yeah, let's hear from you.
- [01:23]
A
Well, no, just tell me a little bit. So Savannah and I grew up in FL Mound in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Ryan grew up in Dallas.
- [01:32]
B
In Dallas, like, right by smu.
- [01:35]
A
And so what were you passionate about when you were a kid? What did you think you were going to be doing right now?
- [01:40]
B
Well, what do I think I'd be doing right now is a big question. When I was a kid, I was a performer, so, like, this shouldn't be new to me, but still, I'm kind of like, hand sweating, nervous.
- [01:53]
A
The first time, if any of you guys are OG podcast listeners, the first time I came on this podcast, it sounded like I had a frog in my throat. Like, I forgot how to speak, I forgot how to breathe. Like, I had severe anxiety. The first time. It was actually, if again, the real OGs, remember, me and Adriel came on the podcast, and I think her and I were both like.
- [02:15]
B
But she'd do so good. She would do so good.
- [02:18]
A
Maybe now, I don't know. She probably did better than me back then. But anyway, you're not alone. But keep going. You are.
- [02:26]
B
So I was a performer ever since 2 years old. I, like, loved performing my favorite thing in the world. My dad used to tell a story that when I was a kid, he said the only way I could fall asleep was putting me in the bathroom, like, laid on his lap. Like, this is, like, infant. From, like, zero. From zero on, from zero to, like, five. The only way I could fall asleep is, like, in the bathroom with, like, the fan on. You know, like, the overhead, like, buzzing noise. It used to be, like, that's, like, the audience. That's the audience, like, cheering you on. And I guess that's the.
- [02:59]
A
It stuck with you.
- [03:00]
B
It stuck with me.
- [03:01]
A
That's so interesting. Yeah, but the audience cheering, like, to
- [03:04]
B
go see it, like, it was. Because, you know, it's kind of like that background noise, but also kind of sounds like. But yeah. So from when I was three years old, I starred in a production of Cinderella, which. I love Cinderella. I. Big fan. It's my favorite color, Cinderella blue, and my favorite princess. So, yeah, I was in Cinderella, and I was a mouse.
- [03:30]
A
I was about to say. What were you.
- [03:31]
B
I was a mouse.
- [03:33]
A
It's like when Cyrus. What was he at the Christmas play this year?
- [03:36]
B
He was an angel. Right?
- [03:37]
A
He was an angel.
- [03:38]
B
He was an angel.
- [03:38]
A
It was giving the same energy.
- [03:40]
B
Yeah.
- [03:40]
A
Certainly you couldn't have been doing much as a mouse.
- [03:42]
B
I was a damn good mouse.
- [03:44]
A
Okay.
- [03:46]
B
But. So from then on, my parents introduced me to the whole world of Broadway and so showing me different musicals, showing me different soundtracks. So from early on, I was the number one biggest fan of Wicked and stuff. And so moving forward, I went into piano, not performing, because my mom wanted me to have the background skills of music, which is similar to you.
- [04:07]
A
So they wanted you. No, not similar to me.
- [04:10]
B
With music, though.
- [04:11]
A
Well, yes.
- [04:12]
B
Yes, music.
- [04:12]
A
My parents could not have given two shits if I did music or not. They wanted me to be in sports and crazy. Clearly, that wasn't gonna happen.
- [04:19]
B
We also. My parents wanted me to be in sports, which also did not. We tried.
- [04:23]
A
Well, I think it's interesting that they started doing musical theater so young. Like what? Like.
- [04:28]
B
Well, the only movies I would watch are, like, Barbie sing alongs like the Princess and The pauper. The OGs? No. Princess and the Pauper. That is.
- [04:37]
A
I don't know what that is.
- [04:38]
B
You would know.
- [04:40]
A
I don't.
- [04:40]
B
You would know if you heard it. Like, there's a song. I'm not gonna sing it. I won't sing it.
- [04:45]
A
Not today.
- [04:45]
B
Not today. Okay, maybe next time, but.
- [04:47]
A
No, you won't sing for me.
- [04:49]
B
I don't. I have sang. I did sing for you once. I did. No, I showed you a video and I sang for you in the car.
- [04:55]
A
No, you didn't. Really. I had to, like, you had to,
- [04:58]
B
like, literally pull it out of me.
- [04:59]
A
Yeah. And it was barely.
- [05:00]
B
And it was like this, like, a gun to my head being like, sing.
- [05:04]
A
So moving on.
- [05:07]
B
Moving on. Well.
- [05:08]
A
Oh, so you thought you'd be performing? He went to school.
- [05:11]
B
No, you said music. I was saying.
- [05:13]
A
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I jumped way ahead.
- [05:15]
B
You jumped. You jumped so far. I was starting with piano, so my parents put me into piano. I was doing private lessons, like, two to three times a week. Had a big understanding of classical music from a young age. My grandmother used to tell the story that when I was in the car, she'd put on 101.1, the classical channel, which I know you're very aware of, WRR and from. I think I was also 3 years old or I was 2 because I couldn't speak yet. And she used to say, because she told you this story about how I was like soilet, because I was playing Swan, which is now, to this day, my favorite, favorite piece. So, yeah, I started with piano and did that for a while. And then once I got to middle school, it was sixth grade. I was in a production. My mom at first did not want me to try out because she wanted me to choose either, like, piano or theater. And I stuck with piano. And then finally I was like, I really want to do it. I really want to audition. So I did, and I was in the Little Mermaid as a seagull.
- [06:18]
A
Aw. I thought you would be Sebastian. No. Is that a big role?
- [06:22]
B
That's a big role.
- [06:22]
A
Okay.
- [06:24]
B
Sixth graders don't get big roles. So I was not only a seagull, but I was also one of Ursula's tentacles.
- [06:30]
A
Oh, you had, like, a little dual action.
- [06:32]
B
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- [06:33]
A
Wait, Ursula's tentacles.
- [06:36]
B
So, like, she was, like, on a platform. So I'm telling you, like, this is her. And then all the tentacles, like, okay,
- [06:44]
A
we are all there, by the way. So you were wearing, like, a hood that connected to us, and we would
- [06:50]
B
grab the tentacle and we'd, like, move around with her. And, like, when we were going to get Ariel, we'd, like, go around her and use these, like, tentacles that are made of, like, foam.
- [06:58]
A
Oh, so you were, like, wearing, like, all black and, like, control. Okay. Okay, Gotcha.
- [07:02]
B
But, like, that's, like the behind the scenes. Like, that's. That's cool. But I was also a seagull, so don't get me wrong.
- [07:06]
A
Okay.
- [07:07]
B
And then, yeah, stuck with theater through high school. Ended up auditioning for musical theater school. Got into a conservatory, went to Webster Conservatory for Four years musical theater with a minor in dance composition.
- [07:23]
A
And got a tumor.
- [07:25]
B
Got a tumor.
- [07:27]
A
From stress.
- [07:27]
B
From stress. This is like. Like this conservatory was hardcore, which I'm sure yours was too. But, like, we had classes every single day from 8:30am to 5:30. Like all musical theater. Like, I'm talking voice lessons, movement classes, voice and speech classes, everything, acting, everything you could name. And after that, from 5:30 on, we had rehearsals. Rehearsals for shows that we were in from 7 to 11. So I was overwhelmed.
- [07:55]
A
Music conservatory is nothing like that.
- [07:57]
B
For those who know, like, college credit hours, I was taking 23 credit hours every semester. Every semester. 23 credit hours.
- [08:05]
A
Or more. Or less.
- [08:06]
B
Or more.
- [08:06]
A
Always 23.
- [08:07]
B
Always 23 or more. Like at least 23 throughout.
- [08:10]
A
Yeah, that's. No.
- [08:12]
B
And so. Yeah, I.
- [08:14]
A
Because your, like, daily, right? Basically, yeah. No, like mine were. I was telling him the other day, like, in music conservatory, like, four of your credits are taking a private lesson with your teacher once a week, or four of your credits are participating in orchestra, but you only have to do it for like six weeks out of the whole semester. And so, like, it's unfortunately not the same.
- [08:38]
B
But my junior year to. This is so random. But I have to, because of course we have to mention Dory.
- [08:44]
A
Okay.
- [08:44]
B
Junior year of college, being overwhelmed, I was like, I need something. Like, I was like, I don't know how I'm gonna get through this. I need something that like, releases the stress. Something I can like, love. Something I can like, put energy into. That's not just theater all the time. Like, it was wake up theater, go to bed theater, eat, drink, sleep, all theater. Like, I had no break from it. And so doing that from like 2 years old on, yes, it was my passion. And it was exactly like what I loved and what I wanted to do. But I had done it for so long. And I definitely wish now that I went to something that wasn't a conservatory, that was like 80% in your major, which was musical theater, and then 20% educational. So I would have much rather been in a place that was maybe like 60, 40, because it would have given a little back time. But so my junior year, I did in fact get a dog. While my parents were in Hawaii, they were on a whale watch. And I did go to a rescue shelter and I found my dog Dory, who we love.
- [09:43]
A
This dog is like the sweetest. One of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. He's so cute. I always, growing up, wanted my dogs to like, get under the covers and like, all These things and they just. Maybe they were hot blooded but they didn't like the covers. And Dory like gets completely under the blanket.
- [10:01]
B
But it's new. Like it's like it's only it's has never been before. Like I met you. Like, I feel like. I don't know, you being like running cold always. I feel like you like influenced him that way.
- [10:11]
A
I think he's cold too, but like never happened before. Okay. He does it at your parents house too.
- [10:16]
B
Yes, he does. But that's new. That's also all recent. So I'm. It's you. But then my senior year, I was like, this is crazy. This is a lot. I had to have two surgeries that were like all from stress. Like things that like. Cause I think I like manifest anxiety like externally. Like so if I get like super anxious. When I was younger in high school, I used to get like hives and like my hand would be super itchy and it'd be like an anxious rash. But like it would turn into something worse because of me going at it.
- [10:45]
A
Yeah. You really manif, like.
- [10:48]
B
Yeah.
- [10:48]
A
You manifest your anxiety physically?
- [10:50]
B
Very much so. Like yeah, I do. And I. A surgery my sophomore year. A surgery my junior year, which we are not going to detail about because. No, no, no need.
- [11:03]
A
But you developed a tumor that was the size of what?
- [11:06]
B
My senior year I developed a tumor the size of a golf ball. They said it was like the size of like a chicken nugget. Um.
- [11:14]
A
What an odd way to describe it. Yeah.
- [11:17]
B
And so I. Yeah, I. I took that as a sign. I was like, you know, I think I just like want to graduate.
- [11:22]
A
Chicken nugget. Like a McDonald's chicken nugget.
- [11:24]
B
I don't know. But they asked me when they like when I got surgery, they asked me to like name it.
- [11:29]
A
I would have been like, take that shit out of here. Like, pack it up.
- [11:33]
B
We called her Patricia.
- [11:34]
A
Of course that was now the name of our service.
- [11:39]
B
That is true that you didn't think
- [11:41]
A
about that, did you?
- [11:41]
B
I did not think about that. But once. Once I got it removed was non cancerous. All is well. It was a scare. But yeah, I took it as a sign. I wanted to take a little break, not focus on theater. Maybe it was causing me a little too much anxiety. And I never went back. Have not gone back. I have not.
- [12:01]
A
I love a little. How many years has it been?
- [12:06]
B
I graduated in 2023 and then I did theater through that summer. I did go back. I did go back 2024 summer. I choreographed a production of Six the Musical in St. Louis.
- [12:16]
A
Okay.
- [12:17]
B
So, like, I went back. I didn't do it for a whole year in between, but it was still. It'll always be in my blood. Like dancing. I do love. I love moving.
- [12:26]
A
If you were to ever do it again, do you think you would do it from a, like, choreograph, like, behind the scenes, or would you want to be back in it?
- [12:37]
B
I think if I were to ever do it again, it would be what you know. And, like, in college, I worked with kids with disabilities, various disabilities, helping theater accessibility be accessible for them. So I think it would be something like that because it's so cool that, like, the influences and the impact that theater can have on kids that do have all different disabilities. Yeah.
- [12:58]
A
Okay, I'm gonna start with these questions. We're trying to make this a quick episode. I'm not trying to torture the poor guy. So we will get through it.
- [13:07]
B
What are they asking?
- [13:09]
A
First question is, what did you do for work before sba?
- [13:15]
B
Well, before sba. Yes. Theater. Throughout. Of course. One thing I will say, I did play Squidward.
- [13:21]
A
Yep. No. What was your last job?
- [13:24]
B
Yeah, I know. I was just getting there.
- [13:25]
A
Okay.
- [13:25]
B
I was, like. I was, like, taking note.
- [13:26]
A
You gave a pause.
- [13:27]
B
I gave a little pause because I. Because Squidward's pretty cool, right?
- [13:31]
A
He also did Lord Farquaad, and that was better than Squidward.
- [13:35]
B
I did do Lord Farquaad. Squidward was more fun than me, but.
- [13:38]
A
Yeah, well, Squidward was probably a bigger character.
- [13:41]
B
Before working at sba, I was a executive project director for a consulting firm in Dallas, and we did, like, nonprofit event planning. We did board management. I did graphic design, website design. We handled basically everything that happens behind the scenes for, like, six to seven major nonprofits in Dallas. So, yeah, I went to lots of events, ran a lot of events, had a blast. Loved it so much. We. We conquered.
- [14:13]
A
Mm.
- [14:13]
B
Yeah.
- [14:16]
A
How did y' all meet?
- [14:17]
B
No, no, no. I actually. Can I ask a question?
- [14:20]
A
Okay, go ahead.
- [14:20]
B
Where did you work at before sba?
- [14:22]
A
They know this. Well, you know this.
- [14:25]
B
Where'd you work at before that?
- [14:28]
A
I didn't. Oh. Oh. Did you work during college? No. You didn't have time?
- [14:33]
B
I did.
- [14:34]
A
Wait, you didn't.
- [14:35]
B
In the summers? Every summer.
- [14:36]
A
Oh, okay. But not, like, throughout college.
- [14:38]
B
Not throughout college. But I will say I did work in high school at a pottery, like, painting place called Purple Glaze, and I was not good with the kiln.
- [14:47]
A
Where's Purple Glaze?
- [14:48]
B
It's now where 5570 is. You know, like, yeah. Like across the street from, like, where CBK was. Okay.
- [14:55]
A
Wow. Yeah.
- [14:56]
B
But do not put me by the kiln. Is that what it's called? Kiln? Yeah. Never.
- [15:02]
A
I worked at ups, but everyone knows that. Okay, how did y' all meet?
- [15:08]
B
How did we meet? This is a good one for you.
- [15:12]
A
We met through mutual friends. I had moved to Dallas. What month did we meet? July. June.
- [15:22]
B
We met mid July.
- [15:24]
A
Yeah.
- [15:25]
B
Or like, maybe like July. Like, first. First or second week of July. Yeah. Yeah.
- [15:28]
A
So I had moved to Dallas, like, four or five months before we met. And honestly, I knew no one. I mean, I knew, like, friends, but not gays. And so I was trying to meet people, going out more, and we had mutual friends. And so one time I got invited out to go meet up. And where do we meet?
- [15:58]
B
Pinkies.
- [16:00]
A
Yeah.
- [16:01]
B
Which Savannah has still not gone to. We've been.
- [16:03]
A
We've been trying to get her.
- [16:04]
B
She's been begging.
- [16:05]
A
Yeah. Because she was like, if it's. If it's a place called Pinkies, I have to go. Like, that's what she kept saying. And then we just haven't had the time.
- [16:11]
B
Hasn't happened yet.
- [16:13]
A
But he was judging me the whole
- [16:15]
B
time, and I was not judge. He claims this. It's not true.
- [16:21]
A
And then we started talking on the side a little more. And our first time we went out, we went out as friends, of course, to go watch the Fantastic. Fantastic Four, which ended up being a tumultuous night for a couple different reasons, but it wasn't because of him.
- [16:41]
B
So it was not me. Well, it was not me.
- [16:46]
A
No. It wasn't your fault.
- [16:48]
B
No, not at all.
- [16:48]
A
He was saving me from something.
- [16:49]
B
I was saving you.
- [16:51]
A
And. Yeah, I don't know. We just started hanging out all the time. We. Now we're here. I don't know. I feel like I blinked and time has flown by.
- [17:04]
B
Time has flown.
- [17:07]
A
What is Ryan's job at sba?
- [17:11]
B
My job at sba. I am the business development manager at Savannah Bota Aesthetics. So I've been handling some relationships with different brands, partners that we've been working with. I handle most projects that Savannah or Tyler. It's too much on their plate, so they're like, take this and run with it. So I've been handling a lot of the behind the scenes things, and the one that's most seen on the stories is my Palo Santo Cleansing that I do.
- [17:42]
A
Yeah. People think he was hired just to do Palo Santo Cleansing, but that's maybe a fifth. No, not even a fifth.
- [17:50]
B
No, you're Right. That was a crazy.
- [17:53]
A
Math is not his strong suit. It's maybe 1/50 of what he does. I would say you spend six minutes out of an eight hour day, and
- [18:01]
B
that's even if it happens on one day. Like, it's very. Not common.
- [18:04]
A
Exactly.
- [18:04]
B
I was the one with experience with Palo Santo. I like Savannah. I'm a very spiritual person. And the podcast knows we are very similar. Yeah, we are very similar. And it's kind of crazy.
- [18:15]
A
I. It. I started to like this man before I realized how similar he was to Savannah. I think it's like a Soul Ties situation or something. Like, I'm just destined to be with people who are the exact opposite of me in a lot of ways. I love it, but they are so, so similar. So, yeah, Crystals, spirituality, Palo Santo, all of it.
- [18:39]
B
Manifestation. We are on that same path together. And so she had talked to me about Palo Santo, and she was like, I have been talking to this brand, Maison Palo Santo. If you guys know, look her up on Instagram. Fantastic brand. It's all ethically sourced from Peru. And I.
- [18:55]
A
Why did I think it was Ecuador? It's Peru.
- [18:58]
B
I thought Peru was in Ecuador.
- [19:00]
A
This is his problem. Oh, geez.
- [19:02]
B
Oh, no. See? Can we clip that?
- [19:04]
A
No, no, no, no, you can't. Of course not. He's bad with geography. It's not a bad thing.
- [19:10]
B
I do. Okay, but if you guys have played Maptap, it's kind of like wordle. You get like, five locations a day. I've been doing pretty good.
- [19:15]
A
I think he's cheating.
- [19:16]
B
I am not cheating.
- [19:17]
A
He's toggling between Google Maps and Maptap for sure.
- [19:21]
B
I have been proud of myself because if I had to do that in high school, my best friend laugh at me. She already did laugh at me.
- [19:28]
A
Y' all should play Maptap. It's a fun little game. It's like wordle, but, like, five places around, and you just guess on the map.
- [19:33]
B
It might be from Ecuador. It's probably from Ecuador, I think. I thought it was the same place.
- [19:40]
A
Maria would kill you for that. Maria's Peruvian, so if she heard you say that, you'd catch her hands.
- [19:47]
B
Maria, I love you. I do. I love you.
- [19:48]
A
But he tells me that he thinks Paris and Italy are the same thing.
- [19:52]
B
We can't cut. Okay.
- [19:54]
A
No. Okay. He just doesn't know.
- [19:57]
B
But Palo Santo, as I was saying, great company, Mason. Palo Santo. And Savannah had been talking about it and was like, I want to get it, like, branded. Could you, like, see if that's possible with her. And it was. And we were able to get, like, laser engraved on the Palo Santo, like, our logo.
- [20:10]
A
I'm so surprised that, like, this woman from. I know the capability because we tried to get these cups and bowls engraved for the spa to, like, match, which also was a project for Ryan, because I was like, no way in hell am I trying to find.
- [20:23]
B
To find special, like, glass that could be put into laser engraver machine or whatever. Oh, my gosh.
- [20:30]
A
So, yeah, anyway, they were, like, specific to each room and had. We had, like, custom doodles, for lack of better words.
- [20:36]
B
The same doodles that are on our new candles.
- [20:38]
A
Yeah, exactly.
- [20:40]
B
So.
- [20:41]
A
But Brian found someone to do it.
- [20:42]
B
I did.
- [20:43]
A
But, like, how difficult that task was to find someone. I'm surprised. This woman's like, yeah, I can laser.
- [20:51]
B
I can do Palo Santo sticks. You want 150? Here you go. And they look really, really, really good. But I'd been using it since I was in college and, like, have loved the effects and the benefits and also, like, the amount you can release from Palo Santos. She was like, I trust you. You're gonna be doing the Palo Santo cleansings. And I. I took it and I ran it.
- [21:09]
A
He's pretty good at it, but I think he's better suited to be doing other things.
- [21:13]
B
But he's like I have been doing lately.
- [21:15]
A
Yeah, no, he has been a godsend. You know, we had been struggling a little bit with our graphic designers. No hate, no shade. They're busy. But we just needed to be able to do it internally. But I would never be able to do it. And thank God for Ryan's past experience with all things graphic design. And he has made some things that you would think that are, like, professional graphic. Well, I don't want to call you not a professional graphic designer, but, like, these people who do it for a living.
- [21:45]
B
Yeah.
- [21:45]
A
Full time.
- [21:46]
B
Yeah.
- [21:46]
A
All day, every day. You've been eating with that.
- [21:49]
B
Thank you.
- [21:50]
A
I. I mean, it was just us and five other people for so long. Or four other people like me and Savannah, plus four.
- [21:59]
B
You have a. You have a fuzz.
- [22:01]
A
Thank you.
- [22:04]
B
You're fuzz covered.
- [22:05]
A
I think this is a new hoodie, so.
- [22:07]
B
And where'd you get it?
- [22:08]
A
In Hawaii. We. Oh, yeah. We also just got back from Hawaii,
- [22:11]
B
like, a week ago, and it was a blast. It was so much fun.
- [22:15]
A
But, yeah, he has been a tremendous help for my mental health because I don't have time for all the meetings and all the projects and doing, because before, it really was, like, me, like, not even just so much. You know, spearheading a task, but doing everything from point A to B completely by myself.
- [22:39]
B
I remember hearing about it.
- [22:41]
A
Yeah. So now you're able to help a lot. Yeah, a lot. Especially with the things that are, like, super time consuming. That used to drive me insane because I'd be like, how am I supposed to do 50 million things for the back end of the business? And then, like, search through eight years of photography archives for specific pictures out of probably 20,000 pictures or more.
- [23:04]
B
There's a lot of photos in the archive, so. A lot of photos.
- [23:08]
A
Yeah. So you have. He's been doing amazing. Thank you. How do you get along working together?
- [23:17]
B
I think we get along really well working together.
- [23:19]
A
Yeah. I honestly, like, I'm extremely grateful that we're in a much bigger space now.
- [23:26]
B
Yeah.
- [23:27]
A
So we're. Because if we were working together in
- [23:30]
B
the last little small with. With.
- [23:32]
A
We would have been on top of each other.
- [23:33]
B
The lizard.
- [23:33]
A
Yeah. I mean, like, it's like, the amount of space that we have now, it makes it to where, like, I get to see, you know, one of my favorite people throughout the day, but we're not on top of each other. We're not. We don't, like, bicker or anything like that usually. I mean, it's normal. Savannah and I will, like. I mean, actually, Savannah and I have been great.
- [23:55]
B
They have been doing really good.
- [23:56]
A
It's been.
- [23:57]
B
It's been really good.
- [23:58]
A
It's been so good. Y' all know from the podcast that we. There was a time there where we were.
- [24:03]
B
I'm a good middle ground right now.
- [24:05]
A
Yeah, he is, actually, but. No, but you didn't answer well.
- [24:08]
B
Like, I feel like we work really well together. Like, I feel like.
- [24:11]
A
Yeah, that's what I say.
- [24:11]
B
I'm able to, like. Like, we can pass off tasks super well. Like, especially, Especially, Especially, especially, especially. Especially when it comes to just implementing the things that Savannah once done and getting them. Yeah. To perfection.
- [24:27]
A
No, I think we do it well. Divide and conquer.
- [24:29]
B
Exactly.
- [24:32]
A
Okay. We got plenty of. How did you guys meet? So I'm going to skip those. Someone asked what your favorite product is.
- [24:45]
B
You know, it is lipid serum. I love lipid Serum. Epicutus. That's. That's my favorite.
- [24:55]
A
I keep a back bar at my place, and we ran out of the back bar, and I thought he was about to die.
- [25:01]
B
I was.
- [25:02]
A
And we had a little dropper. But, like, he. I think, you know, he had never used the retail size, so I think he was like, we're rationing and I'm like, it felt like it. The back bar is huge.
- [25:14]
B
But I do love lipid serum. I think the benefits are astounding. And we did a little training with Epicutus, and just, like, seeing all the science behind it, I was like, oh, God, I love it.
- [25:25]
A
And I love Catherine.
- [25:26]
B
Oh, Katherine is the best Catherine.
- [25:28]
A
She's so smart. Like, she's a rep, but she's an
- [25:30]
B
educator, and she does, like, monthly trainings and, like, meetings.
- [25:35]
A
But Epicutus, the best product for basically anyone with skin because it addresses inflammation and every skin concern.
- [25:43]
B
What's your current favorite product besides Alpharette? Because I know that's your go to.
- [25:51]
A
It's not always my go to. For a long time, it was Carboxymos. I also Carboxymos and Tonesmart. Like, those three products, I don't think I could live without.
- [25:59]
B
Then do one that's not those three.
- [26:01]
A
Okay. You're like, pick your fifth favorite product.
- [26:05]
B
Yeah. The ones that they aren't used to. You hearing that you can give a little spiel on
- [26:10]
A
right now. What would you say it is? You see what I use?
- [26:14]
B
I do see what you use.
- [26:15]
A
Hmm. I don't know. I feel like I'm simple, y'.
- [26:27]
B
All.
- [26:27]
A
Like, I. I don't switch it. Like, Ryan is one of those people, and it drives me absolutely insane that wants to, like. Like, he. And it's also fun. It's also fun to him. Like, he is.
- [26:41]
B
It's very fun.
- [26:41]
A
He can't use 30 products in one night, so he's just gonna use a different product every day.
- [26:45]
B
I change it up a little bit.
- [26:47]
A
And then sometimes, like. But he also has extremely, like, sensitive, dry, leaning skin. So he'll, like, be like, oh, can I use 15% Mandela Serum on my face? And I'm like, no. And he'll just, like, put on a glycolic toner or something that is not meant for his skin type and be like, why am I flaking? Why am I dehydrated? Why is my skin barrier look weird? And I'm like, sir, just use what I told you to use every day. But it's true.
- [27:12]
B
It's true.
- [27:12]
A
Like a kid in a candy shop.
- [27:14]
B
I am. It's the same thing. Like, it's like when we went to this restaurant. Vino. No, we went to Carbone in Dallas, and I am a big fan of, like, people, like, making things in front of you.
- [27:27]
A
Like, he loves it. He loves the show.
- [27:29]
B
I love a presentation. I. I love a presentation. And they. They presented that Caesar salad, and I was beaming. Like, I've never been happier. I loved it. And that's the same with. The same thing with skincare and, like, working with Savannah, like, seeing these things, like, up close and personal. Like, I have been a. Like, a huge fan of skincare since. Probably not good skincare. Well, yes. Fifth to sixth grade, I. I was a ride or die glossier all the way. That was my girl. I still love Glossier youa their perfume, one of my favorites. But I've always been interested in it. And so, like, this has been something I've always been super passionate about. So, yeah, I felt it was perfect. You never answered, though.
- [28:13]
A
Oh, I guess I didn't.
- [28:14]
B
You did not.
- [28:14]
A
I don't have an answer.
- [28:16]
B
You definitely do.
- [28:17]
A
Alpharette is like my ride or die.
- [28:19]
B
I feel like. I feel like oxygen deep pore mask.
- [28:21]
A
Oxygen deep, pore mask. For sure.
- [28:23]
B
You. You've been doing that lately.
- [28:25]
A
I have been. I feel like actually in the past, like, two weeks, I've fallen off. I get lazy. I've been tired. It's been all like. I'm not gonna lie. I've been. I would say in the past two weeks, five out of the 14, maybe more. I've washed my face at night and put on Alpharet and acne med and got straight to bed.
- [28:44]
B
It's true.
- [28:45]
A
Like, I am. Like, I. I don't have the energy right now, so. But oxygen deep poor. I think it's also because my skin's been at a good place, and then I start to get lazy like I am right now. And then I break out, and I'm like, why the hell did I break out? And it's like, well, you're not doing a regimen.
- [29:00]
B
Or it's if you cheat on your. You're watching the words you're using.
- [29:04]
A
Or if it's if you cheat, or
- [29:06]
B
it's if you cheat. But if you cheat on the product, that. Or the. Not the product, the snack.
- [29:12]
A
Oh, I'm not allowed to have peanuts. But peanut butter.
- [29:15]
B
And he ate peanut butter M M's recently at the movies. And he did, in fact, break out.
- [29:19]
A
I knew it was coming.
- [29:20]
B
He didn't know it.
- [29:21]
A
I still got surprised.
- [29:21]
B
You did get surprised.
- [29:24]
A
But, yeah. Oxygen Depot mask. I love it. Like, if you have breakouts or if you are feeling decongested after a flight, after traveling, or you're sweaty, you're running.
- [29:33]
B
What.
- [29:34]
A
Whatever it is, like a deep cleanse for your pores, a bubble bath for your pores, if you will. It is going to help increase the de encrustation process in your pores, and I don't know, you can, like, see it diving. That's the best part.
- [29:50]
B
Like, it's literally the best I make.
- [29:52]
A
Not if you have. What is it called? Trypophobia or something?
- [29:56]
B
Tribophobia. Yeah.
- [29:57]
A
If you have that.
- [29:58]
B
Don't.
- [29:59]
A
Don't look. You should use it. Just don't look.
- [30:01]
B
Just don't look. Don't take a photo, which I make Tyler do every single time. I make him, like, on the nose. Like, the way it, like, shows, like, the holes from your pores. It's fantastic. And then I pulled up the questions too, because I wanted to see
- [30:16]
A
what are yalls three favorite qualities about each other? That's so sweet.
- [30:22]
B
So sweet.
- [30:26]
A
You go. Or should we do one? No, just go quick, rapid fire.
- [30:32]
B
I think we have to switch off.
- [30:32]
A
We gotta get.
- [30:33]
B
Let's do one, then one, then one. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- [30:37]
A
Oh, me first.
- [30:37]
B
I think my one. My. My first is the amount of tension, like, attention and precision and care you put into the people in your life that matter to you. I think it's beautiful. And I think the way that you care for those that you love is really, really, really.
- [30:53]
A
I don't like this question. I don't want to be complimented on the podcast. Nope.
- [30:57]
B
How does it feel?
- [30:58]
A
We're skipping.
- [30:58]
B
Is this not happening? Is this not. I've listened, but, like, is this not regular? You guys, don't compliment.
- [31:03]
A
What? I don't like compliments. You know that.
- [31:05]
B
Okay, well, it's your turn now.
- [31:06]
A
We'll do one. We're gonna do our favor.
- [31:08]
B
We're doing three. We're doing three. No, no, we're doing three. We're ready for three. Come on.
- [31:14]
A
Mine is actually. The reason that I was scared to be in a relationship with him is that he is such a good person deep down, like, it terrified me, because not that I'm a bad person, but, like. Like, this man on the inside is like Mother Teresa, and I am not Mother Teresa. Like, I will be very upfront about that. And so I was like. That's what I was telling Savannah the whole time. And she was like, he's perfect. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, he's too good. Like, there is such a thing, and there's not. But I was terrified. And, like, he just has. You have, like, the biggest heart out of anyone I've ever met. And, I mean, this man, not. Not trying to embarrass you, but he's a crier. And, like, it does not matter what movie we watch. I mean, it can be Zootopia, too. It can be Wuthering Heights.
- [32:17]
B
It was really emotional.
- [32:18]
A
It can be Wuthering Heights. It can be, you know, a scary scene in a movie. Like, any emotion, he feels it to the fullest and he cries ever. Any emotion. That's what I was like. I was like, okay, I understand. Like a sad movie, you're crying. But, like, if it's happy, if it's
- [32:37]
B
scary, I do cry from happiness. You know, like, it's like if you see something really good happen to someone, I'm like, I just.
- [32:42]
A
Yeah, we just went and saw Wuthering Heights and I didn't know it was sad.
- [32:46]
B
I thought it was supposed to be,
- [32:47]
A
like, turned to my room, a lover, and there's just, like, a pond underneath each other.
- [32:51]
B
Oh, my God. And my mom went and saw it today, too, and she was like, well, that was terribly sad. And I said, did you cry? And she said, absolutely. And I said, well, I know about that also. I get it from my dad. My dad's, like, uber emotional, which you wouldn't expect from my dad.
- [33:06]
A
We're moving on.
- [33:06]
B
No, we have not.
- [33:07]
A
We have so many more questions. And, yeah, we got places to be, people to see. Who has a longer skincare routine. I'm gonna say you, because I keep it simple.
- [33:17]
B
I feel like I do because I use, like, one more than you do one more. Because I use Alto Advanced, which I love. I love Alto Advanced. If that. If I could have a number two favorite one, it'd be Alto Advanced. It's my favorite, so. But it is funny. There's like, a drawer, and his products are like, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
- [33:37]
A
No, mine's like, 1, 2. I probably have, like, 6, 7, 10 products on my side. And then Ryan has, like, 30 products on his side of the drawer. Because my sink underneath it is one big ass drawer.
- [33:51]
B
It's actually, like, perfect, though, for skincare. Like, it's. Everyone should have that. Because my skincare, my hair stuff just used to be laid off. The entire counter, everywhere.
- [33:58]
A
That would make me freak. You know that would.
- [34:00]
B
The drawer is perfect, though. It's, like, right under the sink. You can grab it, put it down. It's better than, like, a cabinet. I would never touch a cabinet. Adhd. I can't see it. It's not there.
- [34:09]
A
How do you separate work from personal?
- [34:13]
B
That's a good one.
- [34:15]
A
I feel like, whoa. Been like that. I feel like I've always been able to do it. And I'm very much someone. Even before Ryan Started working here. It's like, I like to have clear boundaries with work and being at home. And so even when I used to go home, he would be like, if I was stressed or if I was whatever, he would be like, oh, what's going on? I was like, I don't want to talk about it. Some of you guys may call that avoidant behavior, and you may be right. But it's how I operate, and it's how I come home and I disconnect and I'm able to be happy and I'm able to be present, and I'm not bringing anything that happened in the office home. And so I don't know if you're necessarily like that or if I force you to be like that, because I
- [35:03]
B
don't think you force me. I think it's something that, like, happens naturally. Like, I feel when we do drive together, sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. But when we do, I feel like we have a nice moment in the car that's kind of, like, time to, like, relax. Especially on. Especially. Gosh darn it. Especially on the way home. Like, yeah, sometimes we'll put on Crime Junkies.
- [35:23]
A
Yeah.
- [35:24]
B
Sometimes we'll listen to an audiobook. Listen to an audiobook.
- [35:28]
A
Yeah.
- [35:28]
B
Yeah. It's like a good decompressing time. And then in the morning, it's kind of like, here we go.
- [35:32]
A
Yep, back at it.
- [35:34]
B
Back at it. Back at it every day. Wait, I want to read one.
- [35:40]
A
Okay. He felt left out because I was reading.
- [35:43]
B
I do. I. I do see one that says, is Tyler getting a dog soon? Is Tyler getting a dog soon?
- [35:51]
A
I am on the hunt. I really, really want a dog. I don't know if I talked about it on the podcast. I haven't been on the podcast actually, in, like, six episodes.
- [36:01]
B
A long time.
- [36:01]
A
Fucking crazy. Are we allowed to cuss a little bit here and there? Yeah, like a little. Little. Ooh, yeah.
- [36:10]
B
Okay.
- [36:10]
A
But don't be overly profane.
- [36:13]
B
Yes, of course not. But I want to hear about this dog. Let's. Let's tell them.
- [36:16]
A
I really. As y' all know, one of our closest friends is Candace, the LA Facialist. I love her with all of my heart.
- [36:26]
B
Queen.
- [36:27]
A
She is. She's a ride or die, honestly. And if you follow her, you also will know that she has two of the most darling angel puppies. They are so cute ever seen in your life. They're King Charles Cavalier Spaniels, and I decided I simply must have one. So I am. I'm on the hunt. I'm I'm looking. I'm not. I don't need one tomorrow, but I need one this year.
- [36:56]
B
It's funny because originally he asked me, what are your thoughts about me getting a dog in October? And this is before I worked for Savannah. And he was like, it'll be perfect because you can watch him while I'm at work all day. And yeah, it'll be great.
- [37:13]
A
So, yeah, that's the problem now with him working here is I'm like, if I get a puppy, who is going to help me with this puppy?
- [37:19]
B
Because we can't just like give it. We can't just give them right to like a daycare. We gotta like help them grow.
- [37:24]
A
No, you can't. Like, I don't think until they're like, I don't think until they're like 10 months or like a year can they go to a doggy daycare? So.
- [37:32]
B
And we want to like, be there for those steps.
- [37:33]
A
Yeah, I know. Well, my parents have three. See, I always want to say like really well behaved dogs, but they're not.
- [37:46]
B
They're adorable.
- [37:47]
A
No, they're. They just. They just don't like people. Like, they're very territorial. And I don't want my dog to be territorial. And so it's like, I want my dog to learn everything else from those dogs because they're like fully off leash trained. They're like, they won't leave your side. They're so loving. So, like, I just can't get over.
- [38:07]
B
There's that one video of Candace's dog in the bath. Oh, yeah, Just like ears flopping, getting washed and just so cute.
- [38:16]
A
But yeah, I mark my words, this year you will see a King Charles Cavalier puppy in my possession and I will love the shit out of that little dog. If you could only keep one skincare item for the rest of your life, what would it be? Mine would be Tone Smart for sure. Like, well, that's hard.
- [38:42]
B
You love Tone Smart. It would have no smart.
- [38:44]
A
I know, but if my skin looks like shit under the Tone Smart, because I'm not. Yeah, like, I'm just going to.
- [38:49]
B
Still got to cover it up though,
- [38:51]
A
so not that texture.
- [38:52]
B
Yeah. Wait, what was the question again?
- [38:55]
A
If you can only keep one skincare product for the rest of your life.
- [38:59]
B
The rest of your life.
- [39:00]
A
I'd probably say Alpharette. It does everything. It keeps. It's anti aging and it's going to help with all other skin concerns at the same time.
- [39:08]
B
I think I'd probably say intense serum.
- [39:10]
A
Intense serum, yeah. It's interesting Interesting. I mean, I love it. Don't get me wrong. I feel like.
- [39:17]
B
I feel like it's going to. I mean, yeah, it's similar to Alpharet's going to do a lot, and the time that I'll have with it, it probably won't.
- [39:23]
A
You probably don't need as much exfoliation as I do.
- [39:25]
B
Yeah.
- [39:26]
A
Like, no intense serum is going to help your skin function the best that it can.
- [39:30]
B
Yeah. With the little messenger. So I need to tell my other cells, come on, get to work.
- [39:35]
A
Yeah, no, that was a good pick. Just not for me personally.
- [39:38]
B
Someone asked where to put Vivid on the routine. Where would you put Vivid?
- [39:42]
A
I mean, it depends on your routine. I would do it after your exfoliating serum. So if you're using Ondo or Mandelic or any other sort of exfoliating serum, I would generally do it after that and. Well, again, catch 22. Because if your hydrating serum that you're using is a little bit thinner in consistency, like, think hydro balance from base reality. I would use a Vivid after that. But I personally use Vivid for restorative. Ha. So generally, thin is the thickest. That's what you want to do. So have a little feeling test with all of your products, and you just want to go from thinnest to thickest. How do you stay consistent with your skincare? Like, when you're super busy or you get home drunk or you get home late at night, et cetera?
- [40:40]
B
The crazy question. I love it.
- [40:44]
A
I always say, and Savannah actually taught me this trick.
- [40:48]
B
I'm excited.
- [40:51]
A
Well, I get ready for work every day, so I'm gonna do my skincare regimen. I take a shower every morning. If not, my hair is as greasy as a McDonald's fryer. So, like, doing my skincare in the morning is never an option for me. Or I just will look horrible for nighttime, though. I love. And he doesn't love this.
- [41:09]
B
What do I know?
- [41:09]
A
As soon as you walk in the door.
- [41:11]
B
Yeah.
- [41:12]
A
Getting unready. Like, it doesn't matter if it's 5pm as long as 10pm, 2am well, your
- [41:17]
B
recommendation is, like, get in the shower and then you'll feel better. Like, do your skincare. Go ahead.
- [41:21]
A
Like, exactly. Because that's the thing is, like, you don't want to. Especially if it's late at night. Like, if you sit down, if you go lay in bed for a second and feel like, what if you want to go somewhere?
- [41:29]
B
What if you, like, change your mind? You're like, I want to go pick up food. Like, I feel like then you still get like, that back to your face.
- [41:36]
A
No, no, I'm also not good.
- [41:39]
B
It's a good point. But.
- [41:40]
A
But, like, if you sit down, if you lay down, you just, like, decrease your likelihood of doing your skincare by, like, 50% if you're someone who is prone to skipping.
- [41:50]
B
Yeah.
- [41:50]
A
So getting home, it doesn't matter what time it is, and doing your skincare routine, that is the best way to maintain consistency. Let's take one more question, and then
- [42:02]
B
there's one in there. I want to do it. I want to make sure we get.
- [42:04]
A
Okay, then that's going to be our last question.
- [42:07]
B
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Two more. Two more. No, two more, please. I'm drawing line, please. No, you are not.
- [42:12]
A
Okay, go ahead.
- [42:13]
B
Okay, I'm gonna do two. Someone asked, what is your favorite memory with Ryan? I wanted to hear it.
- [42:19]
A
So my favorite memory. I'm so bad with memories, y'. All. We were doing this at dinner last night, too. Not specific to Ryan, but, like, just, like, going around the table and saying, our favorite memories. And I. I don't know what it is with my brain. I don't know if it's that I gardened too much when I was in my youth, stupidly. But my favorite memory. Here you go. First, I need time to think with memory questions. I have to, like, because I. You know how. You know how I am. I am, like, so analytical, and I want to have the right answer. So I have to analyze every moment that we've ever had, or I can't answer because what if I miss something? Yeah. How does it feel to be put on this?
- [43:06]
B
I mean, I was. The question said, what is your favorite memory with Ryan? So I was excited. I wanted to hear.
- [43:11]
A
But.
- [43:17]
B
I'd say, in Hawaii, I feel like it was so much fun. There was a boat. We were on this one day, and just the breeze, the sun. We laid on the front of this nice, nice boat. And just laying there with you made me really happy. And it was probably, like, one of those memories that, like, I won't forget.
- [43:35]
A
Yeah.
- [43:36]
B
Yeah.
- [43:36]
A
It's funny because that's, like, one of Savannah and I's favorite memories of each other, too, is we had a boat day in Italy, and it was like there was 80s music playing. But, like, that's what I would say. Like, if I were to give the real answer, that would be it.
- [43:51]
B
Well, is there another.
- [43:53]
A
But there's another answer.
- [43:54]
B
Okay, so you have one.
- [43:55]
A
Yeah.
- [43:55]
B
Okay.
- [43:56]
A
When we went to Barry's together.
- [43:58]
B
Oh, My God.
- [44:00]
A
Oh, that's my favorite story of you. So, Ryan, I'm gonna make this quick. He went to. So first of all, this man's crazy. He's also a runner. We didn't mention that earlier. Like, can run 13 miles.
- [44:17]
B
I did this all post, like, post musical theater school. Like, I was a runner when I was in middle school. I did cross country, so I had the long distance.
- [44:24]
A
I said I was trying to make this short.
- [44:25]
B
Okay. But I was just saying that I had the long distance training for running. So, like, I'm used to running. Like, I would do like six miles a day, sometimes 13.1. Like, I would run a lot. Like, I'm. My. My endurance was pretty high.
- [44:35]
A
Yeah. So as I was saying, he was a runner. He can run like 13 miles a day. And so he would go and do that or he would run, you know, four to six miles in a 30 pound weight at best. Or just like, yes, crazy Marine.
- [44:50]
B
Helps increase your speed later.
- [44:51]
A
Okay. Crazy Marine shit. Or he can do like 600 stairs on a stair stepper. In how long? Like an hour. Like, yeah, something ridiculous. I remember like one 600 floors. I like chat GPT. It. I was like, is this humanly possible? And it was like, maybe for a Navy seal. Like, that's what chat GBT said. And I don't. And I didn't believe it. And then we went to Equinox together last time, and he was just running up the stairs for like an hour straight. And I was like, I tried to do the stair stepper. And I looked at it. You got to put on Beyonce three minutes in. And I was like, no, I'm done. Like, my heart was about to leap out of my throat. Yeah. But so anyway, this day in particular, see, I said I was trying to make it short. And this is. This is what I was.
- [45:36]
B
But, like, it was. I was. I had already. So, like, I. Usually when I worked nonprofit, I had a lot more free time. Like, I could make my own schedule throughout the day as long as I got the things done that I needed to do. Working from home. I was asked to go to a core power yoga class.
- [45:50]
A
Well, you had already walked with a ran. I had already run three miles. And a 30 pound weighted vest.
- [45:56]
B
And the weighted vest. And then was asked to go to a class which ended. Which was about to start in like 45 minutes after, I just did my little run. And I was core power heated.
- [46:07]
A
And this was the hot class, right?
- [46:08]
B
Oh, this was the hot class.
- [46:10]
A
Like 112.
- [46:12]
B
It's supposed to usually be, like, 105, like, 108. But apparently it got to 118 in this class. And so I'm already sweating. Cause this is post. I didn't even shower. This is, like, post run. Weighted vest. Exhausted my legs. I made it to the class. I did have to use one of those towel covers for.
- [46:29]
A
Oh, I bet that form was disgusting.
- [46:31]
B
You've never seen someone sweat. It was disgusting. It was really.
- [46:36]
A
Because he sweats in, like, 65 degrees.
- [46:38]
B
I had to take off my shirt, and still I was overwhelmed.
- [46:40]
A
Yeah.
- [46:41]
B
Oh.
- [46:41]
A
Oof. And then I forced him to go to a Barry's class. Of course.
- [46:44]
B
Forced me. Like, he was like, you're going to.
- [46:46]
A
Well, because I had asked him before. He made these core power plans to come with me, and he said yes. So I'm like, just because you got overwhelmed in the core power doesn't mean you're ready.
- [46:57]
B
But I wasn't. I wasn't super overwhelmed by core power. It was more so like. Like, I was like, if I could do 30, I was dying. But if I could do 13 miles in a day, I was like, I can do these. Okay, I can do it.
- [47:05]
A
Yeah, I. And then he went to Barry's, and this was his first time ever going to a Barry's class. And if anyone out here has taken a Barry's class, you will probably remember your first time. And unless you are also a Navy se. It was probably rough.
- [47:19]
B
If I did running the whole time, I would have been fine.
- [47:22]
A
It's the switching.
- [47:23]
B
It's the switching. It's the fact that I had to do. And, like, I don't know.
- [47:28]
A
So anyways, I look over, and this man is actually dying. And I had.
- [47:34]
B
When we got there, I had already burned 1900 calories. Yeah, like, I. 1900 calories. I had already been burned in my body before starting a break, before starting the class. After the first round of running, I had already hit 2,100. And I was like, this is not gonna be good. And we went to go get the weights, and I was like, I can do the strong weights. No, I couldn't. Your body was done. My body gave up. I did not make it past the third running session.
- [47:58]
A
Yeah, he. No, you did.
- [47:59]
B
I did.
- [48:00]
A
Oh, we were in the final.
- [48:02]
B
It was the final one.
- [48:03]
A
Yeah, we were at the final. Because I always prefer to do tread floor. Tread floor. And so we were in the last floor, and he just.
- [48:10]
B
I got up and left, took his
- [48:12]
A
weight, stepped back, and walked out the door.
- [48:13]
B
And I was like, she was trying to Encourage me. And I was like, babe, if you knew. Like, if you knew what. What came to you, what I been through today, what I have done to my body, that was all my fault. Like, it was all my fault. And I take the blame.
- [48:24]
A
But it wasn't back since bad.
- [48:28]
B
I have not been back. I would go. I want to go with Lauren and with you. But, like, I.
- [48:32]
A
You want to go with Lauren?
- [48:33]
B
I want. Lauren does Booty Camp. I want to go to Booty Camp every Thursday night. Yeah.
- [48:38]
A
Okay. What's your last question?
- [48:43]
B
Well, that one could have been someone asked, what's the funniest moment you've had with each other? That probably would be yours.
- [48:49]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [48:49]
B
Yeah. So what's the funniest moment I've had with you?
- [48:55]
A
You're the one who wanted to ask the question.
- [48:56]
B
This isn't even the one I was going to choose. I'm just asking it.
- [48:59]
A
No, last question.
- [49:05]
B
I feel like the funniest moment we've had with each other is that this is, like, totally exposing me and putting me on the line. But I do, in fact, and I've always done it since I was younger. I do sit when I pee. I do. I've always done. And yes, I might be lazy. I am lazy. I can run, but I'm still lazy. And so Tyler, I don't get it. Loves to leave the seat up. And there was this one time, it was like 12:30, and I really had to go. And I really had to go to the bathroom, and I ran in and I sat down.
- [49:38]
A
Foley in the water.
- [49:38]
B
Foley ass cheeks in water. And I screamed like I yelped. And Tyler has never laughed so hard at me.
- [49:46]
A
Well, I was like.
- [49:47]
B
He was cackling.
- [49:48]
A
Well, I was like, here's the thing. I. And I'm sure. I mean, all of y' all are basically women who are listening to this. And I'm sure you feel the pain of what he just went through.
- [49:59]
B
My mom said it's happened to her multiple times.
- [50:01]
A
Yeah, no, exactly. Like, I'm sure y' all get it, but isn't that part of the reason that I'm gay so that I don't have to worry about putting the seat down after I pee?
- [50:09]
B
Like, I've always done it.
- [50:11]
A
I don't.
- [50:12]
B
Also, like, I'm anxious. I could never use a urinal. I can't stand. Like, that. That makes me too nervous. So I got so used to just going. I also, like, I feel like part of it is, like, you know, like, in high school, like, I'd Want to sit down, like go on my phone during class.
- [50:24]
A
Okay. Well, it's crazy to maintain that seven years after graduating high school.
- [50:31]
B
Well, this, I'm just like my dog.
- [50:33]
A
Yeah. And his dog is a boy who also sits to pee, so.
- [50:37]
B
Does not sit. He leans. He doesn't lift his leg.
- [50:40]
A
Yeah.
- [50:41]
B
I mean, imagine a dog sitting while he's.
- [50:42]
A
Okay. Yeah, that's, well, squat.
- [50:44]
B
He squats.
- [50:45]
A
They squat.
- [50:45]
B
He squats. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [50:47]
A
Which is the equivalent of sitting for a human.
- [50:50]
B
Definitely.
- [50:52]
A
Yeah. Well. Is that the last question? Yeah, we're done.
- [50:59]
B
Actually, there's one more. That's good. There's one more.
- [51:03]
A
Okay.
- [51:04]
B
You said, you said you were like
- [51:06]
A
I said a short episode.
- [51:07]
B
A short episode. You did say a short episode.
- [51:09]
A
Yeah. I apologize.
- [51:10]
B
I feel like this is. Is this not short?
- [51:12]
A
No, no. We have to be almost at an hour. 50 minutes.
- [51:17]
B
50 minutes?
- [51:17]
A
Yeah. No. Yeah.
- [51:19]
B
No way. Yeah. Okay. That's crazy.
- [51:22]
A
Yeah.
- [51:23]
B
Yeah.
- [51:24]
A
They were gone a long time ago. We're just talking to ourselves at this point.
- [51:27]
B
My gosh, that's wild. If you could go on a dream vacation together, where would you go? I want to go to so many places.
- [51:38]
A
There's this thing and Brian, crazily enough,
- [51:41]
B
the only place I've ever been to outside of the United States is Cuba.
- [51:47]
A
Cuba.
- [51:47]
B
From my non profit world. We took a group, and get this, I took a group of 165 people, civic leaders in Dallas to Cuba for six days.
- [51:59]
A
And that's the only place he's ever been to outside of the U.S. yeah. And so.
- [52:05]
B
And I want to go. I want to see a castle. I would love to see a castle one day. But what's yours?
- [52:11]
A
I think mine would be. I think mine would be New Zealand. I hear it's like the most beautiful place on earth.
- [52:21]
B
Wow.
- [52:22]
A
And I don't have the Australian continent checked off on my list. I have basically Africa, Europe, Asia.
- [52:31]
B
You've been to Africa?
- [52:32]
A
Yeah.
- [52:33]
B
When?
- [52:34]
A
Well, no, actually, I don't think it's considered Africa. It's the Middle east and Africa. I always get confused.
- [52:40]
B
Now you sound like me.
- [52:42]
A
Is it or is it considered Asia? It's one of the two. It's in between them.
- [52:46]
B
Where is this? Where in the Middle East?
- [52:48]
A
Dubai.
- [52:48]
B
Because, you know, Dubai is not in Africa.
- [52:50]
A
Well, you know, Saudi Arabia.
- [52:51]
B
I'm asking.
- [52:52]
A
And maybe Asia.
- [52:53]
B
It's definitely Asia.
- [52:55]
A
But it connects Africa and Asia.
- [52:58]
B
It is located on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf in Western Asia. No, Dubai is not in Africa.
- [53:04]
A
Okay, that makes sense. But you're like, you're a quick hop of a flight.
- [53:08]
B
Yeah. Like, you can just from, like.
- [53:10]
A
Because we flew into Turkey, which is both Europe and Asia. That's why I get confused. That whole area is, you know.
- [53:16]
B
I don't know.
- [53:16]
A
Yeah.
- [53:17]
B
I got no clue.
- [53:17]
A
Well, you're right next to Egypt, like, right there, which is absolutely.
- [53:20]
B
Have you been to Egypt?
- [53:21]
A
No.
- [53:21]
B
Okay.
- [53:22]
A
No, I hear mixed reviews.
- [53:24]
B
I feel like it'd be cool.
- [53:25]
A
I think it'd be cool to see, but I heard it's very, like. Like there's a lot of scamming going on over there and stuff.
- [53:31]
B
Oh, I bet.
- [53:31]
A
Like, you can. Yeah.
- [53:33]
B
Have you heard, like, the stories of what happened to people if they take the things from the pyramids and then they're, like, cursed for life? Like, their family dies? I love conspiracies, but no.
- [53:42]
A
So, yeah, I would say New Zealand. New Zealand. Yours would be somewhere worth a castle.
- [53:49]
B
No, I think. You know what mine would be. My, like, biggest thing on my bucket list is I have to, at one point before I die, see these damn northern lights.
- [53:57]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [53:58]
B
I want to see them. And I don't want to just see them like, oh, wow, it's, like, so cool. I want to see them, like, see that?
- [54:04]
A
That is on the top of my bucket list. No, it's not. Because of how cold it has to. Like, you have to go.
- [54:09]
B
I'd say Iceland, probably, but I also have heard it's better in where there's, like, other parts. Norway. Like, I feel like it'd be nice to go to Norway. It'd be nice, but I really want to see some northern lights. And I also really want to see a penguin someday. Also Antarctica. I've told you that. Antarctica. We will go one day on a cruise.
- [54:25]
A
Savannah's parents right now are on a cruise. Antarctica cruise. And I'm so.
- [54:31]
B
And she's posting all these cute photos
- [54:32]
A
with all these animals. I'm freaking out about her post because her mom, Nikki, they're on a kayak in the water right off the.
- [54:40]
B
I don't think they had reached Antarctica yet, had they?
- [54:42]
A
They certainly have. Yeah. I've been seeing all the glaciers and stuff. Yeah.
- [54:45]
B
But I wasn't sure.
- [54:47]
A
But yeah, because they posted. Yeah, but they're, like, in kayaks. I'm like, if you flipped over, you must die. Right?
- [54:54]
B
That is. That is probably true if they got stuck. But they're probably like.
- [54:57]
A
I know. But even just.
- [54:58]
B
That's why I don't think they're in Antarctica.
- [55:00]
A
Wow.
- [55:00]
B
Is that possible? We're doing it. We would have to. Okay? So one thing I will do, because unlike Tyler, I run hot. I am heated. Like Beyonce says, I am heated. Yeah, to the T. Always hot. And I will be doing a polar plunge in the Antarctic waters.
- [55:19]
A
Okay?
- [55:20]
B
I don't care how cold it is. And I know that you can only be in there, like, for what, like, 10 seconds? Or else your body, like, starts to, like, deteriorate or something? I want to do 20.
- [55:28]
A
Okay, well, I think that's all we have today, y'. All. If you made it this far, you are actually an angel sent from heaven above.
- [55:36]
B
I don't know if you're in. I don't. I'm probably.
- [55:40]
A
But you guys know that I love you, and thank you for welcoming Ry On. Yes.
- [55:47]
B
So nice to meet you guys.
- [55:48]
A
Thank you for coming on. Thank you for having me put a gun to your head and forcing you to be here, and I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your week.
- [55:57]
B
Have a great week.
- [55:59]
A
Bye. Bye.
