And it comes in four delicious flavors. Chocolate, vanilla, cream, cookies and cream, and strawberries and cream.

[Brie]

I have to say the great thing about Muscle Milk is when you're so busy on the go, especially Nicole, with you and I traveling so much, going to workout to the tasting room, I feel like sometimes we forget about eating and Muscle Milk. It's the one thing that's satisfying, holds me over until my next meal and I also feel like I get all

[Nikki]

the nutrients I need and hello, the delicious flavors. Obviously I'm always a chocolate girl. Love me chocolate. But that cookies and cream, oh yes,

[Brie]

and they make non dairy which is a plus for me.

[Nikki]

Muscle Milk Protein routine for all. What up everyone? Welcome back to the Nikki and Bri show. Today Bri and I are going to be discussing what we've sent each other in our dms. And don't you worry, we are done talking about all the ones we've sent each other about off campus. We'll still be sending those. We're also going to talk about who's been the the week.

[Brie]

There's so many.

[Nikki]

I mean we could totally do a whole episode about it, but we're just gonna talk about one for today. And of course we have to talk about World cup because everything's about the World Cup.

[Brie]

Oh, it is.

[Nikki]

And don't you guys worry because we will be leaving you all like always with some inspiration affirmation. Now I say for our OG Bella's podcast Listeners, I would love, Brie, for you to kick this off.

[Brie]

Well, you have a bottle of champagne.

[Nikki]

I wanted her to say, let's pop that bottle.

[Brie]

Well, I will say it, but, you know, it's hard when I don't actually have some bubbles in hand. But hey, everyone, let's pop that bottle. All right, Bri.

[Nikki]

Okay, so can you fill us in about Smackdown? I mean, it was a great match.

[Brie]

Thank you. You know, I, I. I have to say this. I feel like it's been coming, Paige and I, to face off with Fatal Influence.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Brie]

Feel like they've been really bullying us on Smackdown for the last month.

[Nikki]

Those bullies.

[Brie]

Those bullies. So y. Go at it with them in Providence, Rhode island, and, you know, there's a lot more unfinished business with them.

[Nikki]

Yeah. It was a great match.

[Brie]

Thank you. That, you know, that actually means a lot coming from you. And, you know, what was. What's been fun with Paige and I is one, I absolutely love working with her. It's. You know, I didn't expect it. I actually did expect it to be this easy with her, but not as easy. It's been, like, just so. Like, just easy being teamed up. The natural chemistry. I mean, we go way back, and we're close friends, but we've been having, like, a lot of fun at tv, so that always makes it more fun. And her and I just. It's kind of like you and I, we have our own secret language where we can do it with our eyes or just different things. Her and I have that, so that kind of, you know, makes TV more entertaining.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

For someone like me. But, you know, we've been having fun with our finishes, and, you know, we like to shake things up a little bit.

[Nikki]

Like, it. Okay, so I know next stop, there's Kansas City, but then you're off to London.

[Brie]

Kansas City, then London. And obviously, for team Scream Mode, London's huge because it's Paige's stomping ground, and

[Nikki]

so England in the house.

[Brie]

So we are so excited for. For that. And. And we're gonna have some fun there. So please show up to the O2 center in London. Watch Paige and I on Monday night Raw and Smackdown. But, you guys, I do have to tell you before we talk about Nikki's, like, detoxing weekend, I detoxed myself on accident, but I had food poisoning when

[Nikki]

I came home, like, on accident.

[Brie]

And this is, like, my second weekend in a row, so I am. You know, we've all known about my gluten and dairy allergy, how severe it Is I. I do just think I am. I have celiac disease. Like, I feel like, you know, I. They wanted me to get tested. My test came out negative, so I was like, okay. But they're like, you still have really high, like, allergies, so you got to be very careful. I just think I can't do cross contamination.

[Nikki]

No, like, at all.

[Brie]

I mean, I like both ends. Like, it was crazy because it was like, I get off the plane, I get my car, I'm like, driving. And it was halfway through my drive getting back to Napa, I was like, whoa. You know when you start to get little of the chills, the sweats, the mouth gets a little, like, watery. You know all the symptoms.

[Nikki]

I know all the symptoms.

[Brie]

And then there was traffic. So, like, a little of the breaking like this. So I'm like, am I car sick? Am I? But I couldn't even. I. The. It's weird how your body knows when you're close to home.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

The minute I got to the driveway and parked, I didn't even grab my stuff. I just had to run to the restroom. Yeah, but it's weird how your body can be so strong, and then the minute it knows you're close to a comfortable toilet, like a toilet that feels like home in your, you know, own privacy, like, your body just, like, relaxes and lets go.

[Nikki]

I think that's more the mind.

[Brie]

That's true.

[Nikki]

But the mind telling the body, right? No, totally.

[Brie]

But it's weird, right?

[Nikki]

It's almost like my mind control, all of that. It's a big thing. Big thing that just shows you.

[Brie]

You had to see it. Like, I had the tunes. I was singing, trying to be like, we gotta make it home. But then I was, like, laid out. Like, I could not. Brian's like, bri, you're, like, really pale. Like, are you okay?

[Nikki]

And I'm like, brian, there's nothing worse than food poisoning.

[Brie]

There's nothing.

[Nikki]

I mean, there's a lot of things that are worse. Food poisoning, but, you know.

[Brie]

Yeah, I know what you mean. But, yes, crazy. Crazy. But then what was weird is, like, it was little less than 24 hours, really. And then all of a sudden, it's, like, gone. I do have a couple. Like, I feel like, just after, like, symptoms a little bit, but other than that, you know, breathe good, breeze good. But, you know, I felt nothing like your detox this past weekend.

[Nikki]

Well, let's keep the talk going.

[Brie]

You know what I mean? It's not.

[Nikki]

I got all mine out. Honestly, a lot of dooo talk awesome. Well, I mean, I was actually very proud because when I was leaving the We Care Spa, I hit the point where you're getting like mucus and B out and a colonic, which pretty much means like all the old shits out.

[Brie]

We're so attractive the way we talk,

[Nikki]

you know, but it was just incredible. I always. So in the past decade, I've done We Care Spa four times. And my goal eventually is that I can do it once a year where it's the three day refresh. That's all I've ever done. Even though I'm craving to do the five or seven day. And at one point my goal is for next year to do a five or seven day detox cleanse. And it, it's crazy how much the place has grown and how bougie it's become and beautiful.

[Brie]

I mean, for all of our listeners, it's in Palm Springs, Desert Springs.

[Nikki]

Desert Hot Springs. So it's about like almost 25 minutes from Palm Springs Airport.

[Brie]

I mean, can I just say something? Palm Springs has like so many different names. There's Palm Springs, Desert Springs, Palm Desert, Linta, Coachella, Corn Coachella. I mean, let's. It's Palm Springs. Fly into Palm Springs.

[Nikki]

Well, no, actually we don't say that about San Diego. I mean, there's San Diego, but then there's Delmare, Rancho Santa Fe, you know, Encinitas. So girl, for you it might just be Palm Springs. That's fine. But so when I was in the desert hot springs, okay, yes. Looking at the same mountain. But what I've always loved about We Care, it's just out in the middle of the desert and then you go through the gate and you're in this most incredible oasis. Yeah. And it's meant for a detox. Mind, body and soul. And what I've realized is a majority of people now go there like very much for weight loss. And then you have some people there that, you know, they, they go there quite a bit to detox. And then you also have a group there that does the detox. But mind, body, soul, so they also work on spiritual stuff. So it's neat because it's all different kinds of people. And there's a lot of New Yorkers there because, you know, New York now has the nonstop into Palm Springs.

[Brie]

Do they?

[Nikki]

Yeah, you didn't this, I, I found this out when I went last time in 2023. A lot of San Francisco people because now we have the non stop into Palm Springs and then obviously there's a ton of La And Palm Springs, people that like check in for the weekend. So I always will get to this point where like my body and my soul's craving, we care. And I'll think about it so much where I'm like, I finally just need a book it and go. So I went this past weekend because it was Artem's weekend with Mateo. And I was like, here's a perfect weekend. I'll fly in Friday morning, come back Sunday, late afternoon. And it, it was everything that I needed one. I always do a clonic every day that I'm there. And I'm a very pro colonic person. Again, I am not a doctor, but I believe in colonics.

[Brie]

I like him.

[Nikki]

I believe that we should get rid of stuff our bodies held on to for a long time. I think it's great for organs. I think colonics just have a lot of benefits for longevity of life. So I did my. I did three colonics in three days. That's kind of like what you do there. But so when you check in, it's, you know, there's a pre detox that I was very bad about. But you do for a week where you take out meat alcohol, caffeine. Alcohol is fine. I haven't had alcohol in a while. But you take all the that out and you just. And like preservatives, anything like that. And you stick to whole food. And then the four nights before you go, then you do two tablespoons of olive oil before you go in. So you're just really detoxing. And then, you know, you could pay for different, like castor oil, like recovery massages or detoxes so you can add things on. And then they have infrared saunas everywhere and steam rooms and body shakers, whatever those are called. Like all the different things and bring you in all the different meditation spots. And I haven't one time. Yeah, like you is the place is magical. And you're in the desert and it was 105 the whole time. But I enjoyed it. Oh yeah, I was great. And the pools also, you know, salt water. But when you're there, you're doing detox drinks, green juice, carrot juice. You're taking just enzyme pills and different things. That's letting your body detox. And then at night it feels like such a treat. You get this like cup of soup, homemade, like one night with zucchini and the other night was yam. And it feels like it's Thanksgiving. You, you're just like, can't wait for it. But it's always crazy because When I start to hit day three is when you just feel, your body feels so good. And everyone tells me when you hit day five, how pure and amazing you feel. And I, I love it because there's this woman there who I've always worked with in the past 10 years, like, well, four times, Bri has too, and her name's Mari and she's a Native American healer and she, I just always love the Native American spirit she brings in. So I saw her and just did a full healing with her and it was just a really great time. And I feel so good. And I, I feel, you know, I posted on my IG stories, I went to one spot where I was there 10 years prior and I did like a half and half. And it's just crazy that when you cleanse your body every now and then and you give it, you give your gut and your, your system a break from breaking down food, like, it's just incredible for you. And if you can't make it to We Care, that's, you know, you don't have to make it to We Care, but there's other ways at home that you can do to just give your digestive system a break, detox things out of you and you know, just do the research. But I highly suggest it for people to, even if it's once a year that you try to do a three day detox or you're someone who's like once a month on a Monday, I'm gonna like do nothing. Like, I know a lot of people who pick one day out of the week and they don't do any solid foods. They give their full digestive system, only

[Brie]

drink water, which is wild. But you know how great that is.

[Nikki]

Your body needs it. Your body is. Our body isn't used to breaking down all this food all the time.

[Brie]

That's especially all the processed food.

[Nikki]

Exactly. So I definitely feel like your outdoor space has to feel like you. I've realized that even outdoor rugs really can make outdoor space feel like home.

[Brie]

Especially in the state that we live. We love being outside all the time. And let's be honest, the summer does bring a lot of barbecues, which means a lot of hosting, outdoor seating, grills, major appliances, storage, patio lighting, rugs, decor. Wayfair is your one stop shop for home.

[Nikki]

And I just love how my outdoor pillows look outside. These were the perfect outdoor accessories for my outdoor space. And I was very happy from beginning to end my experience with Wayfair. I.

[Brie]

So what you're saying is the family barbecues at your house next.

[Nikki]

I feel like we have been in the era for a very long time about online shopping, right?

Sometimes I'm like, how many times have I been back here and how can I not remember my password? So picture this.

So, you know, I just, and I always love doing it just because it makes me feel right, mind, body and soul. And I just, I'm always so happy when I leave there and it, you know, it's tough. The first few Days. But then, you know, you get past it and you realize, like, oh, my body really only needs these nutrients for a while, you know, and the soup. So I, like, went online before I left and got all these cookbooks that I love. But you know what else I know? I'm like, I'm really. Well, I just want to be better about soups because soups are so good for you. And it's a moment where you can really get a lot of good things in that maybe you wouldn't really want to taste, but you can hide it in a soup, right? And also be better about my pot roast or crock pocket or whatever.

[Brie]

Crock pot, crock pot.

[Nikki]

There you go.

[Brie]

Make that pot roast.

[Nikki]

But I. I got recipes for that too, because I've had one and I've never used it. I'm like, I want to be better about this because there's just like, slow cooking's great, right? And then it's actually amazing homemade food. But by the time you get home, like, you're like, oh, wow, they sell. Is already made. And here we go.

[Brie]

Ask any 90s kid. I felt like, no.

[Nikki]

Well, I mean, all of us.

[Brie]

Pot was like.

[Nikki]

But I've never used.

[Brie]

Even though I think we all would side eye it and be like, I

[Nikki]

know we'd all talk about it, like, oh, no, she's pulling it out. But you know, the one thing, it's. I know you and I always talk about this, how I have to get back into my yoga work because I did yoga class every morning and I was like, oh, like, I just really miss being a yogi and like, really doing my yoga. But breath work, yeah, breath work.

[Brie]

I can try, but it is hard.

[Nikki]

No, breath work is really hard. And that's why I think a lot of us give up so quick, because it is like playing golf, but maybe worse. It is don't breathe right. No, I don't breathe right either. So I did an hour session.

[Brie]

Oh, my gosh, that's. But hard.

[Nikki]

When I was talking to this yogi about it. It's just one of the most important things we could give our bodies in our life.

[Brie]

Oh, for sure. It ch. It changes.

[Nikki]

Literally everything Changes everything. And that's why he did the breakdown with me. And then we worked together and he was almost like, if there's one thing that you could actually work on in your life is breath. Everyone breath is everything.

[Brie]

Tells me that all the time.

[Nikki]

Well, and when you become good with your breath, it just takes care of back pain, hip pain. Like, it goes on of what it does to your body, because you move your body different when you're breathing correctly and you're breathing deeply. And when the breath isn't coming through the sinus cavity, it's going up through the brain and going around. Like, we went in on it all, and I was like, that's the one. Like, one of the biggest things I took away was like, I have to work on my breath work. He was telling me that he stood on Pink and. Or Pink wanted him to stand on him. And she was able to do her full, big breath and lift him through just her breath work. Yeah.

[Brie]

I mean, she's incredibly strong, and you could tell she's probably great at, like, breath work. But even, you know, our trainer, Katie, she was like. When I first started training with her, she was like, you breathe wrong and work out. She's like, this is why, like, things must feel heavier for you. And when she, like, rewired the way I breathe, just in lifting, I'm lifting way heavier, right? I'm like, how am I lifting this heavy? But I was breathing wrong the whole time.

[Nikki]

Well, that's what he told me was when you breathe correctly, that's actually where strength comes from. So he said that the day he learned his correct breath and, you know, the correct way to breathe, he went up £60 in one day in a deadlift. And he goes, you know, you. He goes, you'll see people online. And everyone's like, how did that little guy lift that much? They're great at breath work. He goes, you can lift so many things. Yeah. And then he goes, and then you're not using your back, you're not using these other things and how it's taking care of your body.

[Brie]

I mean, it's amazing.

[Nikki]

Honestly, they were onto something from, like, centuries ago. Breath work and yoga and eat whole foods.

[Brie]

Let's not get started there.

[Nikki]

It's basic.

[Brie]

They were living. Living. Well, don't. They would be disappointed in humankind today.

[Nikki]

I know that we have to go. Like, they would look and go to class.

[Brie]

What did we leave? Yeah. Besides you guys, some great architecture. What else? But one thing that I'd say Katie did that was. It's really crazy with your mind. I don't know if you see, she'll put really heavy, and she has me just lift it, take it off, and then I just have to hold it for 10 seconds, and then I put it back down and she takes the weight off.

[Nikki]

So I don't know what you're doing because you were shot at me. But Sorry. Okay. I'm like, I have no idea what you're doing.

[Brie]

Like, so squatting. And then she takes the weight off of what she wants me to hit, but she's like. So your body's gonna go back to it, thinking, it's okay, we're gonna have to lift that heavy again. And then you're gonna lift what is usually heavy for you, but your body's gonna lift and go, oh, this is lighter. We got this.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

It is so weird how your mind, like. Like we were saying earlier with my food poisoning controls everything. Like, I don't know. It's. It's wild, but it's crazy when you kind of figure out all the little hacks. It's amazing just how much further you can get in your health or just,

[Nikki]

you know, have our bodies be the best that they can be. Like, things that we have to do. It's just what we. We need to focus on. And I. I just taken away. Focus on breath.

[Brie]

Yeah. I mean, it's true. I feel like I'm the strongest I've ever been in my life in this area. Yeah. And it's because I'm. I'm doing all the things correctly.

[Nikki]

Yes.

[Brie]

And I'm putting in the time. And, you know, I just realized, like, I. I never really put in the time, which was fine. I was always a healthy person. But I'm really actually, like, doing the work.

[Nikki]

Yes.

[Brie]

And it feels good.

[Nikki]

And you see the results, and you feel great.

[Brie]

Great.

[Nikki]

You know, Brie, it's crazy to think that 2021 was five years ago. When I think of all the change that has happened in my life, from my home life.

[Commercial Voice]

Mom.

[Nikki]

To coming out of retirement. I mean, now being full time back at the wwe. I mean, even my hair has majorly changed. Yes.

[Brie]

No. I mean, I even think about my last five years and the goals I had and how things have changed, but great things have come in, and then I'm thinking about the next five. Like, what is the next five look like with my kids, with my. My life, with my chickens? Like, what's the next five years?

[Nikki]

Which means you're starting to think about colleges. Maybe, I don't know. But finances? Everything changes as your children grow. As you're seeing like what their hobbies are, what their natural talents are and it's just wild to think that five years goes quick.

[Nikki]

Well, and I think what makes you such a great parent is the planning ahead. And you and I, I both feel are such great planners. And I think about that with Matteo. I mean, Mateo's about to Be six. And I'm already planning, you know, college funds. And I'm thinking about, you know, school when it's elementary and the middle school and where's he going to go and what activ. Activities should I get them into? And it's just when I think of life and even my life, it's. It's all about planning, which I feel makes us such great parents for sure.

[Brie]

And I think budgeting has always been my gift. So what if we could rely on a stable Internet price? Something that doesn't let us down, something that doesn't change, but something that is stable. I mean, what do you think that would do for your mindset? Mindset?

[Nikki]

It would be amazing for my mindset because as we all can see, prices are going up everywhere.

Well, that's what stands out to me about Xfinity.

[Nikki]

[Nikki]

bri Moving on, I want to talk about some things that have been trending in the world. Now it's World cup. And did you see what the Japanese fans did after the Japanese soccer game?

[Brie]

Yes. Picking up trash.

[Nikki]

So, you guys, if you haven't seen this yet, Japanese soccer team and fans are going viral for cleaning up after their matches. I actually saw this and DM'd it to Bri.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

But yeah. Japan's soccer fans have become known around the world for leaving stadium spotless before they depart. And it was no different after their thrilling 22 draw in the World cup against the Netherlands.

[Brie]

Look, I have goosebumps.

[Nikki]

And you see them all, like, high fiving and picking up trash. And left a stadium in Texas completely clean. Why can't we all do that, by the way? Why is it so hard for people to clean up after themselves? And right here we are being shown by another country, which is such a beautiful country.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

Of what we can all do when we just work together. They're all just sitting there working together. And by the way, it wasn't like they won. There was a tie and they still so left it super clean.

[Brie]

So as a mother, I'm going to say this. We obviously know we can teach things. We can teach little humans how to be. And you, you can help mold them in some ways.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

You.

[Brie]

That people will definitely go on their own and do things with. They'll go against their mothers. But overall, like, my kids know, like, we don't litter.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

Like, you pick up your trash. You know where a trash can is. And if they've ever not done it. Because there has been times I've seen my kids, like, in my car, for example, I'll see the meat something and throw the trash. And I'm like, screw. And I'm like, excuse me, we do not throw that on the floor. Like, so I. I feel like it has to in their culture. And I'll admit, when I've gone to Japan for wrestling, I am blown away how clean the streets are.

[Nikki]

I mean, it's gorgeous.

[Brie]

It's part of their culture.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

America, hello. Like, let's make part of our culture, too. To clean up.

[Nikki]

Mateo's begging me. He's like, mom, I just really want to go to Japan. Korea. He's begging me to go. And I said, you know what? Maybe next year. Maybe in a year. Might be two. But I said, in a year, mommy, we could, like, carve out a few weeks. Such a cool place. He would be in heaven.

[Brie]

But. Yeah, but I believe the tightly one their tidy behavior.

[Nikki]

Hopefully their generation ripple effect. Right. And it's such a beautiful thing to see. Well, I mean, also in soccer news, have you seen the trending face that's been going everywhere?

[Brie]

I. Yeah. So what?

[Nikki]

The Nigerian goalkeeper. I'm gonna probably because his name, Maduka. I mean, I'm just gonna say. Okay, but it's like, I don't know.

[Brie]

I can't even be right.

[Nikki]

Okay. No, I'm just saying, like, because his face is beautiful. Okoye maybe literally breaks the Internet for being astonishly handsome. And I went to his Instagram and

[Brie]

wow, he's very handsome.

[Nikki]

He looks like AI.

[Brie]

Yeah. No, he's very handsome.

[Nikki]

Very handsome.

[Brie]

[Nikki]

Yeah. But he is insanely handsome. So, you know, you know how your Instagram will be like, oh, you know, these of your friends are following.

[Brie]

Gosh, she's six. Six. No Briano goalkeepers in soccer.

A little heckle, a little giggle. I don't even know what. I got to see who's following him already. Oh, yeah.

[Brie]

Well, maybe you'll get the job.

[Nikki]

[Brie]

He probably does.

[Nikki]

I mean, looking at his photos, I don't think.

[Brie]

Or maybe not. Maybe he's in his, like, f way.

[Nikki]

But you know what's funny? I mean, he's for sure has to be. I mean, Google. Google his age. Let's Google his age. I love all the comments the girls have been writing, like, under his photos. Like, good God Almighty. I like seeing soccer now. Y' all a lot.

[Brie]

Got everyone clutching their pearls. There's no reason for somebody to be that sexy. We agree with you, Michelle.

[Nikki]

I agree. Good.

[Brie]

Googly moogly.

[Nikki]

I ain't seen a man that fine in a long time.

[Brie]

Googly moogly. That sounds like something Betty would say.

Guess his age. It's not too bad, actually. I would say 24, 26.

[Brie]

Oh, 20. Oh, that's.

[Commercial Voice]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

I mean, and he has a birthday coming up in August.

[Brie]

Not for you to like. I think that's too young for you. You.

[Nikki]

That's not too young for me. 26 to have fun with. I don't know.

[Brie]

I gotta say, I'm curious. Gotta meet him, girl.

[Nikki]

Like, the off season cast, they're that age. Let me just live in my, like, millennial era head. Like, let me just live well and have fun. Like, let me just at least Daydream.

[Brie]

Then follow him.

[Nikki]

No, because literally boring. Look at all the girls that are following. He has great.

[Brie]

Okay, so you can't have fun through other people's.

[Brie]

Am I watching anything? No, actually, I'm not. You had me binge off campus.

[Nikki]

Yeah, checking first is smart. So check all state first for a quote that could save you hundreds.

[Brie]

Potential savings vary subject to terms, conditions and availability.

[Nikki]

Allstate North American Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. Okay, now let's move on to the week.

[Brie]

Oh, my favorite.

[Nikki]

Yeah, there's a lot of ass I like calling out. First of all, there was an lady that almost ran a stop sign as I was taking Mateo to camp, and she stopped. This is. I'm. I'm a big. Like, I paused for a very long time because of people like this lady. If I would have went, she would have been so close to hitting Mateo's side. And I literally did my hands up in the air like you should. And then she did this, like, to go forward. Oh, if Mateo was in the car, I probably would have put it in park and would have went up to her window.

[Brie]

Well, that's not smart.

[Nikki]

It's not. But that's how a good old middle

[Brie]

finger, like, let's lets people know.

[Nikki]

Like, I know, but. And I'll admit, I wouldn't have done any of it. I mean, I did the arms in the air. Like, are you serious?

[Brie]

Disappointed.

[Nikki]

Yes. That's what I did.

[Brie]

Well, can I tell you, yesterday, not so much an. But a dip. I felt bad. He was 16. He ran a stop sign. And I was like.

[Nikki]

And then you were allowed to be an. If you run a stop sign.

[Brie]

And he felt bad.

[Nikki]

He kind of read and says stop.

[Brie]

Well, he like then slammed his brakes in the middle of the four way stop. Good thing I was the only car. And I was like, what the.

[Nikki]

And.

[Brie]

And then I looked. I'm like, how old is this kid? Should even be driving fired up. But I was.

[Nikki]

Yeah, he almost hit me, but that's what do.

[Brie]

And then he was like, oh, my gosh, so sorry. And he was like, tiny, young, like, kid. Didn't even have a mustache. And I was like, all right, it's cool.

[Nikki]

They usually don't.

[Brie]

But I had my kids in the car, too.

[Nikki]

But I was like, but it isn't cool to run stop signs.

[Brie]

No. And get your phone on the hand, dude.

[Nikki]

This is the phone.

[Brie]

The phone.

[Nikki]

I mean, I honk at people if I see people on their phone when I'm driving. Like, on freeze or whatever. I honk now unless they look super scary. And I'm like, do I really want to get involved? I don't. But majority of the time, I haunt. Do you remember Jim. Especially when they're kids, when he.

[Brie]

Every time I hear the word. When he was like, was it Mamma Mia. Or whatever. But I want to do that to people. Like, just the Jim Carrey Leolio.

[Nikki]

I. You know what I would love to do? Okay. Have you ever seen. And I can't. Okay, we're going off. But this is what we do. But we got to bring it around. But let me just say the story.

[Brie]

Okay.

[Nikki]

Have you seen the videos on Instagram of people who will constantly steal Amazon packages? And then when they put the, like, color bombs, like, where.

[Brie]

But this is awesome.

[Nikki]

So this lady kept stealing Amazon packages off of somebody's doorstep.

[Brie]

I can't believe that, by the way. Oh, my God. Don't they see, like, the ring camera?

[Nikki]

She didn't.

[Brie]

They're. They're there, and they're like.

[Nikki]

So she goes to grab it, and she's running. By the time she hits her car, it explodes and goes orange all over her.

[Brie]

Her car.

[Nikki]

She flips backwards, and she's like, you, I'm gonna sue you, or whatever. But she's stealing. Yeah.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

But I love it because I need it.

[Brie]

Yeah, I'm gonna sue you for catching me dealing and putting in a color

[Nikki]

bomb, which I love. Yeah, but so these brothers that do these dances together, always. Mato and I watched it, like, a hundred times. We were crying, laughing. Where someone took that.

[Brie]

How'd you not DM that to me?

[Nikki]

I did, but if you would actually look at all. Yeah, exactly. Not a day. Don't make me sound like that. But they act like they're looking out the window. You know, they do the perfect cuts, and when the manga's up, they all. They do like, we're going to. Mato and I were crying, laughing.

[Brie]

Okay, what does the COVID of that look like.

[Nikki]

So I can go back and literally the other brother comes out from the stairs and they go like.

[Brie]

They knew, like, you know.

[Nikki]

Okay, I'm sorry, we're going to have to actually show that one because it's my favorite ever.

[Brie]

Don't do it.

[Nikki]

Don't do it.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

I'm calling the cops on you. I'm geeked on next week. No more features. I might embarrass you.

[Nikki]

Okay. But let's talk real quick about this.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

Am I the for not wanting to pay three weeks after the date? So let me just say this. I received this message by this guy I dated three weeks ago.

[Brie]

Hi.

[Nikki]

Thanks for the date. Had a great night with you. I enjoyed the company. But after thinking about it, I don't feel we're the right match moving forward. So I think it's best we just split the date and leave it here. Your share comes to 57.95. Burger plus a drink if easier. You can just cover the food amount of 33.95 instead of. Or instead and drinks on me. You can pay now to blank, or if you don't have pay now, you can pass cash to a friend who has pay now and ask them to transfer to me. Please send the payment proof. Once done, then the person is telling us we met only once and he was clearly inviting me on a date, choosing the place and assuring I would get princess treatment. Gave him my number after he asked for it, and then he didn't message me for three weeks. Assuming he was just not interested. I deleted the match on the app. But apparently he saved my number before waiting for this to happen. And now he's asking me to pay him back while he's the one not interested. P S. I'm still a student and he was. And he has a good position in a big company. Am I the for not wanting to pay? No, no. That guy is the.

[Brie]

Not only is he an. Ugh, no wonder he's single.

[Nikki]

No, you're. You're not an and please do not pay.

[Brie]

Do not pay. Do not. I would actually write this is how much you're gonna get. Zero. Zero.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

Dot zero zero.

[Nikki]

Or you can pay if you want and, like, double it, but your students. So I'd feel bad and be like, here. And then it gives you, like, freedom, I think, to call them whatever, like, here, you effing loser, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, have a nice life. Like, if you pay, then you could call them, like, all the bad words you want, right?

[Brie]

Yeah. Or just ignore them.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

Ghost them. But.

[Nikki]

Right. I like.

[Brie]

I.

[Nikki]

Who does that?

[Brie]

I would be so disgusted. I'm so happy, though. This person found this out on the first date.

[Nikki]

Like, this is like three weeks later. Like, what are you, like, psycho? Psycho. You have mental issues.

[Brie]

Mental issues.

[Nikki]

I mean, for sure. And the thing is, is you don't talk to her for three weeks, but then once she deletes the match, that, like, made you mad. And then you wanted money.

[Brie]

Oh, that's.

[Nikki]

That's where he got triggered. He got upset about. But, like, were you waiting for her to, like, send the first text? I mean, I would go be a man.

[Brie]

I would go off. I would be like. So let me tell you about the princess treatment.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

From Queen here.

[Nikki]

All right, well, so you're not an. It's a segment Brie and I want to bring to the show. Am I the.

[Brie]

The guy?

[Nikki]

That guy already both met some few the past few days. But it'll be nice, actually, to call them out here.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

Feels good, actually. Feel like, awake, actually.

[Brie]

If I have an moment in the next week, I will talk about on the show.

[Nikki]

Yeah, I'll bring you up, actually.

[Brie]

I will call out. Yeah, so don't with me if you see me out in public, because I'll call your ass out.

[Nikki]

She's fired up. All right.

[Brie]

I'm fired up for this girl. I actually kind of wanna, like, can you, like, DM us or call our hotline and let us know the guys pay now? Because I will pay him and tell them off. No, I'll go. What's a fool?

[Nikki]

We're not gonna get involved. We don't get involved like that.

[Brie]

I would love to on this one.

[Nikki]

We handle things with Grace and everyone should as well.

[Brie]

Sometimes I don't.

[Nikki]

No, we. It's fun to talk about. Get a little vent sesh with your girlfriends and then you take the high road.

[Brie]

Yeah. I hope you and your girlfriends have laughed at this guy a hundred times. And please tell me he's just totally. You felt bad for him and you went on a date with him because he clearly. He asked for her number. Please tell me. Like, he was not.

[Nikki]

Gosh. Yeah. Well, you know, I was gonna go into Bri rant of the week, but I feel like you're already ranting.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

Is there anything that you want to have a little rant on since you're in the moment? I definitely know I have one.

[Brie]

Well, you know, actually, one thing that I am actually kind of. It's a rant, but it's actually a good rant. Which. Yeah, for me. Because that usually doesn't happen. We all. I feel like a lot of us heard about Ridgeland Farms that was doing animal testing on 500 beagles. Actually up to a thousand beagles. And it kind of became famous because you had certain celebrities going in and breaking in and trying to save the beagles. And then the people who own Ridgeland Farms kind of were and went on the news saying they were scared for their lives, blah, blah, blah. Even though there was hidden cameras and they were being. Anyways, as of today. Yeah. The guy who was like really running the rescue. Wayne Hung or has sung.

[Nikki]

No idea, but.

[Brie]

And he's like a lawyer. He actually fights for a lot of animal rights.

[Nikki]

Oh, I know exactly who you're talking about. I've seen videos of him. He's incredible.

[Brie]

Well, I will tell you this. As of today, they're shutting down Ridgeland Farms.

[Nikki]

Nice.

[Brie]

The last 500 beagles that are being abusively animal tested on and have been for a very long time. All these beagles.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

And they do it on beagles because beagles are so docile. They don't bite, they don't fight back. And that's why they stick these tubes and poison all down their throat.

[Nikki]

So sad.

[Brie]

They like pick off their fur. They all this for cosmetics by very important. You look at cosmetic brands, all different types of brands and make sure there's no animal testing. Lancome, you dicks. You guys still do it.

[Nikki]

Like, come on, you guys, we're in 2026. What are we doing?

[Brie]

But there's so many great beauty products.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

That actually one that's cheap.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

If.

[Brie]

If I think or it. You know when you'll see them. They don't. And there's a lot of brands that don't makeup brands that don't animal test, a lot of cosmetic brands, hair brands. So just research. But I saw us today. He got them shut down. So they're going in and they're going to take all of the other beagles.

[Nikki]

White light always protects that man.

[Brie]

So, you know, I kind of feel like this is a good rant.

[Nikki]

That's a good rant. I'm gonna do a bad rant.

[Brie]

Oh, yes. I love that.

[Nikki]

Did you hear about that headline with Simone Biles? Because oh my gosh, to call her NFL wife.

[Brie]

Simone Biles, who was the writer, by the way.

[Nikki]

No offense that dude, but this is my thing. And I know I. Whoever it is, I can't remember if it was a man or a woman. I believe it was a man. Had it, you know, came out and said, why they put that. But no, no, no. Simone Miles, 1. You don't even have to put anything in front of her name because she is one. One of the most decorated gold medalists in Olympic history. Let's start there. But she has become such an icon that she doesn't even need anything in front of her name because when we hear her name, we just know who she is and.

[Brie]

Right. But I don't even know her husband's name. I know her. I know she's married to a football player, but.

[Nikki]

Right.

[Brie]

Like, come on. Right. I couldn't believe when I saw that.

[Nikki]

I couldn't believe when I saw it. And especially talking about a situation about herself. But I mean, anytime, like, it was just so wild to me that, that that would be published, that would be approved, that someone would even think in that way of like NFL wife.

[Brie]

And I know some people are like, well, who cares? It's her husband. But when you're a woman.

[Nikki]

Yeah. Those people obviously haven't made history or have fought hard as a woman.

[Brie]

That's what I mean.

[Nikki]

In a male dominated industry.

[Brie]

And it's not just like, she's at a party and his friend might say something. No, this is like media and they know what they're doing.

[Nikki]

Right.

[Brie]

This is, it's, it's a different ball game when it comes to media, comes to headlines. There's things they do on purpose to bring people down to be rude and. Right. There's never accidents, especially when you're a journalist and you're a writer. When you're writing, you know what you're writing.

[Nikki]

Yeah. Like you could say like, you know, in the past, when they got married, you could be like, historic gold medalist Simone Biles is now an NFL wife. That could be appropriate. But now to just label that and you're exactly right. It's exactly what you're saying.

[Brie]

Yeah, it's. This isn't like something like, oh, this. It was an accident. Someone said it in conversation.

[Nikki]

Right.

[Brie]

Because that. I get that happens.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

No, this was. Someone wrote it.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

And someone who is experienced and I'm just sorry. With media, they know what they're doing. We've been in plenty of headlines that we know what they're doing. So.

[Nikki]

Right.

[Brie]

There was. It was rude. It was rude.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

Well, that person ain't gonna do it again.

[Nikki]

But it really made me happy how viral it went and like how many people spoke out. I really loved seeing that, but that made my jaw drop.

[Brie]

Yeah. And I honestly think for some People who do think like, that wasn't a big deal. No, it is. No, this is the thing. The little things you stand up for will make the big changes.

[Nikki]

Yes. And sometimes I feel like people who say that I, I want to be careful how I say this, but it just. You haven't been in the position then where you've had to be in a male dominated industry and like, fight for your worth or always have to prove your worth or have to break barriers. And I feel like. So when people are like, it's not a big deal. No, it is a big deal because the one thing that I can't stand is when as a woman, you have achievements and then all of a sudden, just because of whatever man you're with, it's always about your man. Like, oh, well, she has that because of him. Or instead of talking about all the great things she does, it's always like, oh, that's whatchamacallit's wife, or that's whatchamacallit's girlfriend, because it's never vice versa.

[Brie]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

And so. Yeah, and you're exactly right.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

You.

[Nikki]

You start. It starts from that. It's the little things make the big difference.

[Brie]

They do. That was a good rant.

[Nikki]

I like. Yeah. Thank you. Okay, Brie, well, let's wrap this up with a little bit of inspiration affirmation. Unless you have a feel good story you want to leave us on.

[Brie]

Well, I actually leave us with.

[Nikki]

Well,

[Brie]

no, I don't. I thought my feel good story was part of my rant. So we're gonna have a lot of beagles. A big testing place here. Animal testing place in the United States is going down. They're done. Dunzo can't abuse any more animals. So that's me. Just feel good. Well, that is it. So.

[Nikki]

Well, I'll leave you with this quote by Herman Hessey. Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest.

[Brie]

I mean, I love that. I kind of feel like we've always looked at life like that.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

I mean, there's definitely things I've taken very serious in my life that I almost wish I left more at.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

And there's times I did need to be serious, but sometimes I was too serious or too stressed on.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

Just, you know what? Sometimes it's like life's just. Life's gonna go no matter what. So you can hang on, you can be stressed, but no matter, it's going to keep going.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

So I just feel like there was times I hung on and I wish I didn't it just wasted way too much energy.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Brie]

So. But I think that's a good quote.

[Nikki]

I think it's great. You know, there's so much to laugh at and too much. We make or we take serious and I agree. Just can't.

[Brie]

Nope.

[Nikki]

There are things that we know need, but for majority, we just laugh it off.

[Brie]

That is right. And we're gonna laugh at a lot of once we're done filming.

[Nikki]

Oh, yeah.

[Brie]

I can't wait

[Nikki]

when we actually pop that bottle.

[Brie]

Girl, I'm about to.

[Nikki]

Oh, that's right. When you'll yell it.

[Brie]

Yeah. Nikki and I were at the pool last night. I haven't had a drink since Italy, but I was like, you know what? I think I'm gonna have a froze.

[Nikki]

Oh, when I heard that, I was like, yeah.

[Brie]

She's like, you want anything? And in my head, I'm like, do I want a sparkling water or froze with an aperol floater? Oh, my gosh. And a frozen strawberry on top? I was in heaven.

[Nikki]

She was in heaven. As I had the mocktail with sparkling water, cucumber. What other green thing was in it? And lemon and something else. I actually did. And I was like. I felt like I was back at the week hair spot.

[Brie]

I was like, oh, I know. I was like, all right. But. But it tasted delicious. So I might have to, you know, make a little froze later. Who knows?
