Lizzie
Over and over, Chris has gotten couches from you. And I'm out here in the fucking couchless cold with some nasty fucking cheap shit from living spaces that's all sunken in and sad. And it makes me want to honestly literally started a fight with me that said, I'm not going to pain today. But here's the deal. You're like, no, you're like an evil. You're like a little witch. You're like, you pick a fight and then you go, I'm not fighting with you today. You drop an insult and. And then you flee the room like a stinky cat farting girl. What's a 7 7?
Ryland
Is that some superstitious stuff?
Chris
I was told from the pawdience or the chuggers, actually, to put 777 girlies, because 777 is like a lucky number, and we're the luckiest girls in the world, so seven seven.
Ryland
Ooh.
Lizzie
You know what? We are the luckiest girls in the world.
Ryland
And Elizabeth wanted to have an angle that was a little higher and tilted down. And I said, you know what? I'll try anything once.
Lizzie
Honestly, I don't know how it looks. I can't see that far.
Ryland
You were the one that just directed that angle.
Lizzie
I know, but it just felt right. It was a feeling.
Ryland
You know what?
Lizzie
You know how we work around here. Feelings, not facts, period.
Ryland
And I looked in the mirror today and I said, like, Mia Thermopolis, it's as good as it's gonna get. I just couldn't try too hard today. I was gonna do Easter. I had this.
Lizzie
I mean, Easter's past.
Ryland
I know, but it's still spring, like, RIP Easter.
Lizzie
You know what I'm saying?
Ryland
Is that problematic of you? I don't know. I saw Chris was at church yesterday.
Lizzie
Actually, a lot of people do observe church on Easter.
Ryland
Well, no, I know that, but I thought Chris was not a church boy. Every time we've talked about church, Chris was like, I don't church.
Chris
I go every year for my mother. That's like, it's like our tradition. It's very important to her, and I don't mind going.
Lizzie
What kind of church?
Chris
Yeah, it's. I mean, it's a Christian church. I don't know specifically.
Ryland
I don't think you have beef with God. I think you have beef with organized religion. Is this too dark? Maybe so soon.
Lizzie
It was crazy to start a podcast.
Ryland
I think it's just because he's very gay, you know?
Chris
Yeah, I, I, I don't know what I am Personally, in terms of religion.
Lizzie
But I was like, you're gay.
Chris
But I. Gay.
Ryland
I'm very gay.
Chris
But, yeah. I don't know. I. I pray.
Ryland
We love Easter. No. Yeah.
Lizzie
Are you praying in a, like, faithful way, or are you praying in a. I hope I don't fuck this up. You know what I mean? Like, at the end of times, like, I just want to make sure I check that box. Or is it.
Chris
It's like, I hope someone. Something's listening, and I hope. Yeah. I don't know. I hope I'm doing good by whatever that is.
Ryland
Yeah. Okay. Happy Easter.
Lizzie
Happy Easter.
Ryland
I just thought it was.
Lizzie
And Happy Passover, which was the week before I did.
Ryland
Chris is just the only one of us that made it to the church.
Chris
But for the record, my mom is very, very, very Christian, and my dad is, like, atheist, so I, like, I.
Ryland
Had that growing up, too.
Chris
You know what I mean?
Ryland
All right, all right, all right.
Lizzie
Both end.
Ryland
So I was wearing this pastel. Well. Because I went to REI this week.
Lizzie
Oh.
Ryland
And I didn't know there were any.
Lizzie
Why?
Ryland
I didn't know there were.
Lizzie
Why did you go to rei?
Ryland
Just don't worry about it.
Lizzie
No, I'm, like, worried about it. Why did you go to rei? Before we talk about something else, why were you there?
Ryland
Well, we were filming, and I was gonna let Spencer style me, and at re High. Well, that's where he gets his clothes, I think.
Lizzie
Shut.
Ryland
Don't you dare say something nasty about Spencer.
Lizzie
I wasn't gonna say, you know, I love Spencer.
Ryland
The problem with rei. Well, not the problem.
Lizzie
No, there's a problem with rei.
Ryland
It's very. It's very butch. And I was like, I didn' There were enough butch people in Los Angeles. Can I use the term butch when I'm not referring to a lesbian?
Lizzie
Yes, you can.
Ryland
Okay.
Unknown
You gave me permission.
Ryland
So.
Lizzie
No, but lesbians aren't exclusive. Like, butch is not an exclusive lesbian adjective.
Ryland
Like, you could call a store feminine, and I wouldn't be offended.
Lizzie
Okay, you're being offensive assumption that butch is owned by lesbians.
Ryland
Okay, so just in my opinion, REI is a little butch, you know?
Lizzie
Yeah. Everyone's opinion.
Ryland
I was checking out, and she's like, you got your next. Next adventure. You got your next adventure planned. And I was like, no, and I never will.
Lizzie
Like, period.
Ryland
The whole brand.
Lizzie
I had to say that to them, too. They're like, do you want a frequent buyer? I was like, no, I will never be back here.
Ryland
Why were you there?
Lizzie
I had to get fudgeing long Johns for Sarah's wedding last year when she had it in, like, minus 30.
Ryland
Well, what I will say is they do have a lot of hot products. It is. It is pretty interesting. And they have good quality products.
Lizzie
Spoken like a true butch lesbian.
Ryland
And there is a lot of stuff in there, but I just couldn't imagine it was such a big store that I was like, there's enough people here in Los Angeles. Land of the.
Lizzie
Where did you go? Burbank.
Ryland
To, like, go explore the wilderness.
Lizzie
Were you in Burbank?
Ryland
No, at the Topanga. The outdoor version. What is that called? The Village.
Lizzie
There's an REI at the Village.
Ryland
Yeah. And it's huge.
Lizzie
Crazy.
Ryland
The only downfall is that it is right under a fitness. So all the whole time, you just hear the power lifters banging the weights against the ceiling, and you're like, is this gonna come down on us? But, yeah, they had vuori things. So I got. You know, I wear the same workout when I'm not filming. I wear this shirt.
Lizzie
And when he's filming, 800 different colors.
Ryland
And so they had a baby blue version. And I was like, perfect for spring. And they also had like a Patagonia, very butch, which you love. Light purple, lilac purple. And I thought, wow, perfect for spring. I put it on. It just makes me. It's shapeless.
Lizzie
I mean, that's the point of Patagonia, right? It's not like a shapely look. It's like puffer jackets and fleeces.
Ryland
Oh, this is just a T shirt. A brand new T shirt. I don't know how we got so deep into rei anyway. The only thing I was excited about at REI was the coveted rock wall. Come to find out, during coronavirus, they took it down. They took down all the rock walls. So I was like, what am I even doing here anyway?
Lizzie
That's a great question. I asked the same thing.
Ryland
That's why I'm dressed like the same as always. Watch out.
Lizzie
Like, nothing's changed.
Ryland
I'm just gonna play victim and everyone will feel bad for me.
Lizzie
Play victim? What do you mean? You've been wearing the same outfit for 17 years.
Ryland
Have I worn this on the podcast?
Lizzie
A T shirt and jeans, baby boy. What do you mean? What do you guys expect from me?
Ryland
I'm not bullying you.
Lizzie
No one expects anything. I just think it's funny that you're making an excuse for your every day and you've never apologized previously.
Ryland
It's getting worse and worse and worse for you.
Lizzie
It's not.
Ryland
I'm trying to protect you.
Lizzie
How Are you?
Ryland
I'm not offended by you, but I can feel them being offended.
Lizzie
I have no problem with you. I just think it's funny that you.
Ryland
Think that you're the one that came in a non spring. Look, it's gorgeous. But definitely now he's gonna.
Lizzie
Well, then why is it part of madewell's spring collection?
Ryland
Because madewell's a little.
Lizzie
I love made.
Ryland
Well, they're a little off, you know.
Lizzie
Like, made for the millennial mom.
Ryland
No, they're made for the LA mom.
Lizzie
Full stop. Well, I'm nothing if not that as well.
Ryland
Okay.
Unknown
Oh, yeah.
Ryland
So I'm still manifesting.
Lizzie
What are you manifesting?
Ryland
Oh, well, it was like, I didn't do very good.
Lizzie
Oh, no.
Ryland
Oh, I wrote it down here. Okay. Oh, I had seen Maddie, my beloved Maddie, on his. She probably has no idea I even talk about her so much on this podcast now. She's become, like, a staple of this podcast and she has no idea. She posted on her Instagram this picture of, like, a mom in a kitchen with all these kids, and she's, like, rushing and crazed, and it was like, no.
Lizzie
Oh, okay.
Ryland
It was just a thing, like, you know, how you shared your things. Like, I saw you reposted a Donald Trump meme this weekend.
Lizzie
God, don't say it.
Ryland
Well, then why don't you reenact it and save yourself?
Lizzie
It was just super funny. It's like when your husband cops a tone and goes, whoa, don't talk to me like that. I am the President of the United States. Don't talk to me like that. You do not talk to me like that. You do not have the right to talk to me like that. Honestly, it's still from the viral moment that I, like, problematically obsessed with in a petty way, even though it could have been the linchpin of World War Three. And I will say that is something that's problematic about me, but if I don't trivialize it, then I'll probably die of anxiety. So let me be me, okay? Like, let me bury my fucking head in the sand for a little bit, otherwise I'm not gonna make it through to the other side.
Ryland
I want to bury myself, too, but I'll just stop while I'm ahead. I don't want to be problematic now.
Lizzie
My heart is racing and I am scared.
Ryland
I gotta stop. I gotta stop.
Lizzie
You're making my heart race.
Ryland
I can't.
Lizzie
Oh, will you whisper it to me? I just faint.
Ryland
Now. Oh, okay. This mom in a busy kitchen. And the quote under it is, why Are you rushing through all the things you dreamed of doesn't just hit you right there? And so then I go to yoga and I'm like, relaxed, I'm calm, I'm chill. I'm thinking about my life because normally after a yoga class, I'm like, rushing into the shower, rushing to get ready, rushing to the store for the boys, rushing to get my errands that I can come up, start working. And I thought, what if I wasn't in a rush?
Lizzie
Yeah, I think you what if I.
Ryland
Wasn'T in a rush? I wrote it in my notes app and I was like, wow, I think.
Lizzie
That'S great for you.
Ryland
I can take this week and not be in a rush. I really thought about it. I was really intentional about it. And then two hours later, I forgot until I opened my notes app this morning to write something else down and saw it and I thought, well, that didn't work.
Lizzie
Well, I think you shouldn't give up on it. For the sake of those of us in your orbit, don't give up on it.
Ryland
You literally. Okay, this is gaslighting.
Lizzie
Are you.
Ryland
You just told Chris at the top. When we walked into this podcast, I was like, I should work on myself too. And you were like, no, I like you just the way you are. Stay crazy. And now you're like, for the sake of all of us, change.
Lizzie
I was already praying for you to change. I said, chris was good the way he is. I. That's. No, there's no gaslighting there. I was talking about Chris.
Ryland
How did you interpret that, Chris?
Lizzie
Did I not say out loud, I'm praying for his mental health? And then you were like, you. No, girl, that was you. And then I said, you're great, Chris. Don't change.
Ryland
Wow, talk about somebody with rose colored glasses. Somebody can be dissing me in front of my face and I can be like, oh, that was definitely about the other person in the room.
Lizzie
I don't think I was dissing you. I think I. What did you just say about me?
Ryland
No, repeat it again. I am praying for your what?
Lizzie
Mental health. Oh, my God.
Ryland
I would say I'm pretty mentally sound. My biggest problem and my biggest qualm is that I'm a rusher. I'm a rusher. And it's like, where the fuck am I going?
Lizzie
Everybody's Russian. Was that good?
Ryland
Are you guys not in a rush?
Lizzie
No, I'm Irish.
Ryland
Are you in a rush?
Lizzie
Where are you going so fast?
Ryland
Everywhere. And that's.
Lizzie
Chill out.
Ryland
Okay, so I am really gonna set that Intention this week. And I'm gonna hold myself accountable by next week. Monday. This week I will have been a more chill girl. Okay. Wow.
Lizzie
That's the best birthday gift you could ever give me.
Ryland
And that is. We're on the heels of your birthday. Just work with it.
Lizzie
Okay.
Ryland
We're on the hills of Easter.
Lizzie
The hills.
Ryland
I don't know. The same.
Lizzie
Or the heels. Are we going up hills or are you like chasing me? And you're on my. You're on my heels. My feet heels.
Ryland
Nobody will ever know except for the people from Utah.
Lizzie
It's just between you and Maddie. You and Maddie. Nobody's Russian.
Ryland
No, we're both Russian, girl.
Lizzie
Oh, I will say this. I've been doing my hot mom walk consistently for 900 days with her new.
Ryland
Best friend who she can't shut up about. Okay, well, it's fine. I made a new best friend at the park this week, too. And her kid's name. Well, I don't.
Lizzie
I don't think you should.
Ryland
Yes, I should. Not her, I think for a couple reasons.
Lizzie
You shouldn't share her kid's name.
Ryland
Okay, let's talk about your new mommy friend then.
Lizzie
She's just very kind.
Ryland
It's escalating quickly in an uncomfortable way for me.
Lizzie
Oh, really?
Ryland
I mean, yes.
Lizzie
Dang, I didn't know that.
Ryland
She's giving you pieces of her couch and inviting you over.
Lizzie
You could have given me Peaches. You could have given me a piece of your couch and said you gave it to fucking Chris. Over and over. Chris has gotten couches from you, and I'm out here in the couchless cold with some nasty cheap from living spaces that's all sunken in and sad and it makes me want to honestly self harm and I really.
Ryland
I'm not the one that chose that couch. You got that couch because your husband was the one that said he wanted it arrived at your house and he was pissed about it.
Lizzie
Isn't that nuts?
Ryland
Did he realize that he was the one that chose it? I.
Lizzie
And honestly, the whole time I was like, I want you to pick it because I'm tired of listening to you bitch. And it's just been nothing but bitching.
Ryland
See? And I can't give you a couch for that reason. What if one of your husbands didn't like the couch I gave you? And then I would never hear the end of it and I just couldn't do it.
Lizzie
You don't have to give me a couch because I have bought a couch.
Ryland
Oh, gosh. Congratulations.
Lizzie
Hold on.
Ryland
It's turned Down. You're never gonna be able to do it. Okay, a little.
Lizzie
I have one leg out and these pants are tight. Just for the record, I couldn't move.
Ryland
The one leg in her spring outfit that's all black. Her joyless spring outfit that madewell has sold to her. Actually, I'm wearing madewell jeans right now.
Lizzie
Yeah, so you're also a lady.
Ryland
Anyway, obviously.
Lizzie
Also, my neighbor gave me eggs this morning and I had two thoughts about it.
Ryland
Does she have chickens or something?
Lizzie
No, she just had eggs. I was like, wow, so she must be doing really well. I was like, I don't know why.
Ryland
You and Chris can't find eggs. No, I just.
Lizzie
They're a dollar a piece. Each egg is a dollar. She gave me $4 worth of eggs. That's coconut. She's got a child.
Ryland
How many? 12 eggs in a carton. And they're like 9.99.
Lizzie
No, they're like more than that. Like eggs.
Ryland
Where are you guys shopping?
Lizzie
Are you stupid? This is a national thing and it's our like people who are out of touch have been made fun of publicly for this exact thing.
Ryland
I. I'm aware. Okay, let me go see it in the hole. Well, I'm just, I'm looking at my last grocery receipt.
Lizzie
There's lines down the block for eggs right now at Costco.
Ryland
Okay, but that's because you're going to Costco. That's your first.
Lizzie
People are going to Costco for the eggs because there egg shortage.
Ryland
But I don't believe you guys. I hate to break it, I. I don't just go to Erewhon. I go to Gelson's. I go to Bristol Farms and I go to Albert Sims. Honey, all those places have eggs.
Lizzie
No. Okay, yeah, that's fine. Eggs are extremely expensive. Restaurants are literally charging a surcharge of a dollar per egg now because the price of eggs has gone up.
Ryland
So why are you going to restaurants?
Lizzie
Oh my God. Said a man who only eats out for every meal.
Ryland
Wow, you're really coming for me when I have every intention to be nice to you. Wow. When's the last time I bought eggs? Maybe I just don't buy eggs.
Lizzie
It's honestly like he's rage baiting, right? And I feel like it's my job to respond. But honestly, I think that my guardian angels are saying, don't. They're like, let him burn. And I'm like, okay, you're right. Eggs are super affordable and available by the plenty.
Ryland
I'm not saying they're affordable. I'm Saying they're around.
Lizzie
They are around town. Everybody who wants eggs can get them.
Ryland
Gosh, I. I really am mad at myself for the amount of time I'm spending looking for my through my receipts at Erewhon to see how much their eggs are. Okay, 12 count of eggs.
Unknown
1099.
Lizzie
How many receipts from ere one you have?
Ryland
Whatever. I told you I started a Patreon so I could shop at Erewhon. What do you want from me, period? Okay, 12 count of large grade aid, grade A brown organic eggs. 10.99. That is expensive.
Lizzie
I guess we'll be going to fucking Air One to get our fucking eggs now.
Ryland
How much are they at Costco? Let me know.
Lizzie
I think they're like $7.99 and you get 24.
Ryland
Oh, that's really a good deal.
Lizzie
Yeah, it's a great deal.
Ryland
So they're not that expensive.
Lizzie
Well, we go through a shit ton of eggs too, but it's like there's a shortage of eggs right now and the price is like. I actually don't know how much they cost at Costco either. Okay. I don't know. I'm not gonna go through my fucking Costco reel though, to figure it out.
Ryland
They don't probably send you nice digital receipts, like.
Lizzie
No, they do.
Ryland
Oh, they do?
Lizzie
Yeah. Costco record of everything I bought.
Ryland
Nice.
Lizzie
Yeah. I have to put my legs down because I'm worried they're losing circulation.
Ryland
Okay, where were we before this egg debacle?

Lizzie
I was just saying my neighbor's a nice gown. She gave me some eggs. But I wanted to talk about the crazy part of the egg exchange. Okay, so first of which, like, how.
Ryland
Did this come about?
Lizzie
Were you like, well, we were walking and I was like, oh, I'm so irritated. Easter ruined my Costco day. So I couldn't go to Costco because Easter had it shut down. And I was like, way to go, Easter God. Anyway, and we're at eggs and Joe makes me breakfast every morning with eggs.
Ryland
Eggs.
Lizzie
I needed the eggs.
Ryland
This is drastically different from somebody that was sick on eggs when eggs were not expensive. And now as soon as eggs are expensive, it's all she can consume.
Lizzie
Just one of those girls. Just one of those privileged girls. Can you guys tell me why I'm egg sick? Eggs make me sick. Find out. It wasn't the egg. Something else was making me sick. It just felt like it was the eggs. It doesn't matter. Leave me alone.
Ryland
But now that they're expensive, she needs them.
Lizzie
They're good for breastfeeding.
Ryland
That is in all of us, you know, supply and demand. Okay, why is demand.
Lizzie
Never mind. I just wanted to say my neighbor was a nice la. Not a nice lass. Why did that come out of me?
Ryland
You're really looking at her ass.
Lizzie
I didn't say ass. I said she's a nice ass.
Ryland
No, this is getting really weird.
Lizzie
It's a nice lass ass, you stupid.
Ryland
I fear that this is going to get weird. She's going to move in, kick Jo.
Lizzie
I'm scared that her husband thinks it's weird.
Ryland
I saw this thing on cuz I'm.
Lizzie
Like coming in their house before 7am this is really weird, right? This is the second time I've been in their house. Like, she's like, no, just come in. Come and get the eggs. And I'm like, my husband would beat the out of me if I brought you into my house at any time of the Day. Like, that's why, let alone first thing in the morning. And she, like, opens the door. She goes, hey, Rylan, Lizzy, or Ryan? Like, lizzie's here to take the man.
Ryland
His name's Ryan?
Lizzie
Yeah.
Ryland
Are you kidding me?
Lizzie
It's a little crazy. And I'm just like, hey. Like, walking in his clothes, like, in his jammies. And I'm just like, this cannot be good for me. Like, I look cuckoo nuts. And not only that, but it's like, the first time I walk in, I leave. I'm like, I just ordered the same couch as you guys. And I, like, walk out. It's like, do they think I'm, like, single white femaling them? Like, am I like. And then I'm like, oh, you guys have caraway pots and pans. I would like to get some pants. And I'm like, looking at her car, I'm like, this is a cool car. It's windows tinted. Did you guys get your Windows 10? And she's like, are you scoping out my cart? I was like, yeah, what is it? I don't know, but it's got three. Three rows, like you. So I was interested in that, right? Because she knows I'm also manifesting twins. And she's like, you need more than the Tesla if you're gonna have twins. And I was like, yeah, I need two Teslas.
Ryland
The thing. Well, this is not good on the hills of Easter for us. Say hills or heels.
Lizzie
I need to know.
Ryland
What does that saying even mean?
Lizzie
I don't know what you think you're saying, and if you could tell me, it would be easier.
Ryland
Okay, so I saw something on Instagram where there was these two women that decided it'd be easier to raise their kids together than with their husbands.
Lizzie
Oh, facts.
Ryland
And I'm wondering if that's going to be you and her.
Lizzie
No.
Ryland
Oh, okay.
Lizzie
I mean, my husband's actually. This is gonna be a shock.
Ryland
Okay. You're gonna praise him this week?
Lizzie
Well, I'm gonna praise him, and I'm gonna filet him.
Ryland
At what temperature?
Lizzie
I don't know.
Ryland
We'll let that.
Lizzie
Isn't a filet a cut?
Ryland
Yeah, but you still. Oh, oh, okay.
Lizzie
So I was unclear about what you meant. What temperature. I was just jumping ahead to when I would cook the filet.
Ryland
I was the one jumping ahead to how you were cooking him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were just cutting him to shreds. Mm.
Lizzie
Okay, but now we're on the same page, and eventually you do cook a filet.
Ryland
So what?
Lizzie
He is A great partner. And I know that that sounds whack because I complain like all the time, but the more and more I think about it, I'm like, I get breakfast made for me every morning and I get a 45 minute massage every night.
Ryland
Have you been to Baroni's again?
Lizzie
No.
Ryland
Okay. I just didn't.
Lizzie
I can't go back there. I can't go back there.
Ryland
Okay, okay.
Lizzie
But he's great. Oh, you want me to filet him now?
Ryland
Yeah.
Lizzie
No, we have a guy coming to fix our air conditioning unit. And Joe goes, well, I can't do that by myself. And it's like, do you know how many things you asked me to do by myself while you were making a movie in Los Angeles burned to the ground? I was like, put the baby on, wear them in the wearable and deal with the dogs that way. I was like, I was able to flee the country with my baby strapped to my chest and my dogs at the same time.
Ryland
Why can't they go in James's house?
Lizzie
They can, they can, period. Like, and Joe's like, I don't know. Should I tell him not to come? I was like, no, he needs to come. It's taken months to get this out here. Don't you dare tell him to go away.
Ryland
I have a solution for your family.
Lizzie
What?
Ryland
Go to James's apartment.
Lizzie
We always go to James's apartment.
Ryland
Yeah, so there's the solution, period. Call him. Tell him.
Lizzie
I already told him. I was like, go outside. I was like, leave the house.
Ryland
Okay. And so what kind of couch are we talking?
Lizzie
I got the Love Sack.
Ryland
I've seen that's become very popular.
Lizzie
Well, it's cool because you can do anything you want with it. So I got the Love Sack with the intention of doing two separate couches. But I think I can do make a couch now, and I think I'm gonna go for it.
Ryland
Wait, I thought you already hit purchase.
Lizzie
Oh, I bought it. But the possibilities are endless. It's a Love sack.
Ryland
It's like a.
Lizzie
They all come in the building blocks. Yeah. So that's how my. My neighbor was able to give me pieces of her other one because she made her own mega couch.
Ryland
Actually, she also had neighbor blue.
Lizzie
No, I had to buy covers, but she still saved me like, hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
Ryland
What was she done? She was done with the hearse.
Lizzie
Yeah. I was like, that's crazy, girl. That's crazy.
Ryland
Wow. Can you like the irony of a friend coming into her life and giving her when she's been asking Me for a couch for the five years I've known her.
Lizzie
You might have known me a bit more than five years.
Ryland
For the five years this podcast.
Lizzie
Oh, yeah, sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Isn't that nuts? That is. So I pulled the trigger. I think I might be. Do. I might lean in and just go full mega couch. Because it sounds super sick.
Ryland
Right. And that's like, my boys at this age, they like to climb up on the couch, crawl around the whole couch. So, like, the bigger the couch is, the bigger of a play toy. It is for them too.
Lizzie
Yeah, it just. It takes away a lot of the room where Billy does, like, his crawling, but it's like he has his cage.
Ryland
And eventually he'll crawl on the couch. Yeah, it's a little more like, you have to watch.
Lizzie
Yeah. And some of. Part of the couch is like, deep dish, and then some of it is, like New York slice, which is nice. Like, some of it's, like, skinny, and some of it's, like, thick.
Ryland
I'm gonna have to see visually how that.
Lizzie
Because you know how Joe takes the backs of the couch off?
Ryland
Oh, you mean the back, not like the. What you sit on?
Lizzie
Well, both. So, like, where you like. Joe likes a. A deep sit, and so he takes the back off the couch all the time. And because he's a man, he doesn't put the couch back. And that's enraging your man's. Does this.
Ryland
What?
Lizzie
No. They're sick.
Ryland
I don't even think I understand. Like, this is taken off.
Lizzie
Yes.
Ryland
And then they just sit on the.
Lizzie
Hard, and then they never put it back.
Ryland
How are they comfortable?
Lizzie
I don't know, but it's. Joe's literally ruined this couch. And it's like the way that the couch is indented where he sits, I'm like, do you do anything else? Like, why are you so tired if you're just sitting on the goddamn couch? Like, what?
Ryland
She's really come to play him? Okay.
Lizzie
God bless the man that makes me breakfast every morning and watches my child all day so that I can go to work.
Ryland
But you said he's manifesting now too.
Lizzie
He is manifesting with the air conditioning guy. Getting there. He said, I'm so glad our dogs are so chill and easy to work with. I just know that that means that he's probably acting like he has rabies. And I'm trying to, like, without being a red flag, explain to my neighbor why she can never come in my house. Like, well, my husband will beat me to death and my dogs will kill Your children. And the amount of times I've told her, like, oh, no, I'm crazy. It's like a few too many, you know? And she just keeps giving me nice things.
Ryland
Wow. I wonder when she's gonna see the truth.
Lizzie
I don't really hide it.
Ryland
So she needs to listen to Oprah, who's listened to Maya Angelou and needs.
Lizzie
To listen to you. When you'd repeat those three, two, three great women. You're one of them, right? Yeah.
Ryland
Thank you.
Lizzie
Period.
Ryland
Everyone was so upset that I didn't quote the original person, and they're like, oprah has nothing to do with it. And I'm like, actually, she has everything to do with it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about it. Yeah.
Lizzie
Did you guys know it was Maya Angelou before Oprah gave her a platform?
Ryland
Like, anyone knows who she is.
Lizzie
Anyone's heard Maya Angelou, you idiot.
Ryland
Where did you guys find this woman?
Lizzie
Oprah plucked her from obscurity and gave her a voice. Okay.
Ryland
You know what? Oprah brought her to me. And the more we. The more we. We let this space things sit, I think good for them.
Lizzie
So the way that these space travelers are being fucking shit on this is.
Ryland
Why I feel like somebody needs to stand up for them. Because it's so hypocritical that, like, some women on the same ship as other women are getting dragged for doing the same thing other women are being praised for.
Lizzie
Other women are being praised for the same trip.
Ryland
Yes. There's. There's some of the women that are being championed for going. And there's some of the women that are being eaten alive life. And I just think, no, here's the deal.
Lizzie
Katy Perry has herself.
Ryland
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Lizzie
I fucked with myself. I know. You're a Katie Cat, and I'm defending her. I'm defending her. I am defending her. Katy Perry and I both suffer from the same disease. And it's. It's a. It's a compulsion to be. To pretend or to peacock, as though you are mentally enlightened when truly you're sick as them all. You know what I'm saying? But it comes with an air of authority because you think you've learned something.
Ryland
I just think we do have to give them the braveness. There is a big chance that they would never return. And that's a crazy thing to put yourself in that ride and go on up and come back down. And the way that it's just become like a joke that people can say, I wish she would have never returned. Well, that's what's. Wishing she would have died.
Lizzie
Yeah.
Ryland
And it's like, you guys on the Internet.
Lizzie
Are you talking about the Wendy's thing?
Ryland
I mean, I think she.
Lizzie
Because Wendy said something nasty like, leave her up there.
Ryland
Yes. But it's like, you know that that's saying you wish she died. And I just think, like, if we can take it back for snl. Making fun of Amy Lou's teeth.
Lizzie
Yeah.
Ryland
It's like, you guys, I don't know her name.
Lizzie
Did you just make up blue as the last one?
Ryland
I don't know.
Lizzie
Is there a lot?
Ryland
Can you look that up? But I just think it's. The Internet does drive me crazy in the way that they cherry pick who they want to be mad at, and for what.
Lizzie
Like, I'm like, go, Gail King, go.
Ryland
Yes. And then the rest of the Internet's like, Katy Perry crap.
Lizzie
I don't even care that Katy Perry went.
Ryland
And why should anyone?
Lizzie
I don't care that any of them went. I just. I think what's hard to swallow is the. The masquerade of femininity or feminism, really.
Ryland
Right.
Lizzie
Amy Lou Wood.
Ryland
Yeah, I was right.
Lizzie
I thought you were just saying it flippantly because it sounded like it's one of those things, like, Amy Lou. Yeah. But I will say I learned something, and that is that because I've always noticed, like, Wendy's is, like, kind of has a really cheeky online presence, like, sassy as hell. Do you remember when we talked about this on the podcast? And it's like the old woman from, like, the 80s who's like, where's the beef?
Ryland
Beef?
Lizzie
So I guess that's why they start beef on the Internet, because Wendy's is where the beef is.
Ryland
Interesting.
Lizzie
I learned that this morning while they were still talking about Katy Perry going to space, because I guess she's doubling down on it not being okay, that they wish still upon her.
Ryland
Good for her. You know what? I. I really do just. I. Oh, the Internet.
Lizzie
No, it's. It is cuckoo nuts. And also, it's like, I don't hate them for going to space.
Ryland
I mean, yes, it's ridiculous, but it's just like, sometimes it's too much for me. I just think. I hope in these moments that someone like Katy Perry or these. These celebrities that get dragged, like these women or these people that are dragging, you are either jealous or they're bored as hell. I mean, she's rich, she's powerful, she's successful, she's a pop star. It's like.
Lizzie
Like I will say, what are all.
Ryland
These people at home who are. Have, have. Like, I don't know.
Lizzie
I think you can say a lot of those same things about a lot of people, though, and we don't feel the same way about them.
Ryland
What do you mean?
Lizzie
Like, you can say a lot of women are beautiful and a lot of women are rich and a lot of women are powerful and a lot of women are pop stars. And I still don't hate them as much as I hate Katy Perry. Like, they're just. There's like an additional thing. You know what I mean? Like, there's an added element of like. But it's like, I get it. Like I have the same element of eh. You know, like people respond to me like that too.
Ryland
Right?
Lizzie
So, like, I get it, but it's also like, I also respond to her that way. Like, I can't help that. It's just. It's like an allergy.
Ryland
It's hard. I mean, it's hard to be a.
Lizzie
Katie cat, isn't it?
Ryland
Oh, no, I'm fine. I'm as good as ever. I just feel like being in the public eye. Yeah. There's no training for how to deal with it. And there's no way that it doesn't have a massive effect when the whole world is making fun of you. And so I just hope there's somebody in Katie's world that can be like, girl, just take the publicity. Don't take it serious because these people are either jealous or bored or maybe they don't like you, but at least they're talking about you.
Lizzie
Yeah, I don't. I don't know that she could take it too personally considering how frequently she presents herself the way that she does. You know what I mean?
Ryland
Whatever, Katie, I'm with you way.
Lizzie
That's your. Your knee jerk is to be that way. It is so crazy to be sometimes. Like. And it's like. It's like a universal. It's a universal acknowledgment of it. Like her whole little speech afterwards, like it was giving Kristen Wigs speech in Bridesmaids. And it's like I. That was the immediate thought I had. And then I opened my phone and 20,000 other people have already made reels of para in Az Kabara.
Ryland
All of it, all of it is cringy. It's cringy. It's. Can't miss. It's out of this world.
Lizzie
There's nothing wrong with being cringy, though.
Ryland
I love cringe and I enjoy it because, listen, there's so much crazy going on in the world that I think all of us collectively needed something like this to talk about for fun.
Lizzie
Hell, yeah.
Ryland
So that's why I just hope she. She's not taking it too seriously, because it's like, even if you hate Katy.
Lizzie
Perry, I don't hate her. I just have, like, an allergic reaction.
Ryland
But you were just being nasty to her. But you're saying, like, I don't hate her. So that's what I'm saying. All these.
Lizzie
I'm. I think that Katie has it just hold weight on the Internet need to be Katy Perry.
Ryland
I guess I just know what it feels like to feel like the Internet has turned and it's brutal. And so I feel for. Feel for these people, no matter how successful or in a privileged place they are.
Lizzie
No, I. And you know, I agree with you on that. No amount of privilege or success means that you don't have pain or.
Ryland
And she's been in this industry for a long time. Like, even somebody like a chaparral roan, it's like you don't know how to navigate these things. Like, like, she annoys the hell out of me.
Lizzie
He didn't do that on purpose, you guys. He literally doesn't know. He literally doesn't know.
Ryland
And I will not.
Lizzie
Like, he was not trying to throw shade. That is just how he says it. And he can't help it because he's on the hills of it.
Ryland
And while she's not my cup of tea, I can empathize with the fact that nobody really knows what they're getting into. Although she signed up for this. It's a lot to carry when somebody's just throwing it all back at you.
Lizzie
Right.
Ryland
So I just. It's. But whatever. I mean, it's all. It's all whatever. It's a relative problems.
Lizzie
Oh, yes.
Ryland
Yes.
Lizzie
And honestly, God bless. Like you said, God bless Katie for giving us something to chat about.
Ryland
Exactly.
Lizzie
Like, for real.
Ryland
Did you listen to Khloe Kardashian on Call Her Daddy? I don't listen to that podcast personally, but Chloe got me there.
Lizzie
How'd she get you there?
Ryland
She was just on it, and it was on my homepage.
Lizzie
That's all it took.
Ryland
That's all.
Lizzie
I did hear some factoids that all the Kardashian girls make the same check off the show. That's nuts.
Ryland
That is nuts, considering two of them don't do anything.
Lizzie
Yeah, like super nuts.
Ryland
But then I was, like, partially three of them.
Lizzie
I was trying to validate. Are you thinking Courtney?
Ryland
Yeah.
Lizzie
No, Courtney laid it all on the line for years. Courtney gave her heart and soul and life to the show for years.
Ryland
So now she. She's earned her keep in just being able to make disgusting crumble cookies and sit behind her two gated communities. She's in a double gated community dam.
Chris
I know.
Lizzie
Ain't that some shit?
Ryland
Yeah, probably.
Lizzie
She's a co sleeper.
Ryland
Really?
Lizzie
Yeah.
Ryland
Wow.
Lizzie
She's super into co sleeping, but in a way where she's like championing it and like.
Ryland
Well, she probably has a night nurse just hovering that she pays to be awake the whole time.
Lizzie
Oh, God.
Ryland
I mean, she's so rich that I feel like that's what she'd be like. I want to sleep with the baby, but I want it to be safe. So you just need to keep your eyes open all night and stand hovering over my bed. And if we get hungry, just hand me one of those gluten free crumble chocolate cakes that I made.
Lizzie
It was a flourless chocolate cake and sometimes those. This one did not, but sometimes.
Ryland
How did we get here?
Lizzie
I don't ever really know. Okay.
Ryland
What were you gonna say about Courtney? No, you're the equal pay.
Lizzie
Oh. I think that I can validate Kendall and Kylie getting the same check even though they do nothing because they sacrifice their childhoods for the show.
Ryland
Okay. Wow. You really. I really thought about it.
Lizzie
I really thought about it. I really rationalized it. And I also thought it would be so goddamn toxic if they were like, whoever brings the most up to the show makes the most amount of money. And it's like, I know the show's not their main source of income, but that's a pretty up thing.
Ryland
It would be.
Lizzie
Yeah. So I think for toxicity, that was a great call on their part.
Ryland
I'm trying to think what I found the most interesting. I just thought it was, I. I guess talking about, whatever, it doesn't matter. It's rich, famous people problems. It was just. She was asking what happens when a crisis happens in their family. Is it like a group text, a call? Are they huddling in one house to deal with it? What goes down? And she was just saying, I feel so lucky to have a support system of other people that get it because there are a lot of people that jump into fame and then they say one wrong thing and then they're the meme of the Internet for three months and they've never fully recover or that's. Now they're how they're remembered. And she's like, I have somebody to vent to. It Again, because it's not a relatable thing to go to your friend that isn't in the same position and talk to them about these problems, because those kinds of problems just don't matter to other people.
Lizzie
It is, I will say, a very, very interesting dynamic to be at. On the receiving end of Internet hatred, because it isn't corporeal. Like, you can't. It's not a tangible threat in your face, in your life, and there is nothing you can do about it. It's like a tidal wave. But you can stop reading it. But even if you stop reading it, they still have the ability to infiltrate your life by taking away your job. And this can happen to, like, honestly, anyone. Like, I. There's. I. A friend of mine's mom was filmed doing something that, in the wrong context, looked really bad, and that went viral, and she lost her job for it. And she's a private entity. Like, she's a nurse.
Ryland
Yeah.
Lizzie
And she was literally just doing her job the way it was supposed to be done and being. And dealing with a hard situation. And she lost her job and was forced into early retirement because she can't get another job at this age. Like, the only reason why I brought this up is because it is such a unique, insidious thing that happens. And I think it's really easy for, like, one or two people, independently, to think that they're a justice fighter or a. Something when they don't really know what they're doing or the gravity of it, or they know what they're doing. They know the gravity of it, and they don't care because they have anonymity and they never have to have actual blood on their hands.
Ryland
Right.
Lizzie
Which is fucking gross.
Ryland
It's just. Yeah, it's fascinating. Yeah. And so I just thought. And I guess for Chloe, what she was saying, the hardest time is when it felt real to her is when she had been publicly cheated on. She thought, it's so public and so many people know about this. I can't even go out of my house because I can't stand the fact. I can't stand people looking at me with that sort of shame. And I just thought, oh, what a nightmare. You know, what a curse to be that famous.
Lizzie
But I mean, not even that famous, but to be made. To have the person that you trust the most, to put a baby inside you, be the person who's made a fool of you on a global scale is so traumatizing. Like, I've been cheated on. And I just remembered being like, wow, I look so stupid. All of you knew this. Like, all of you knew this and sat in the same room with me and nobody said anything. And I'm just a idiot.
Ryland
Can't go anywhere without feeling like the whole world knew it.
Lizzie
Yeah.
Ryland
And then you have to deal with that shame. And internal. When the cheater was the piece of.
Lizzie
Yeah.
Ryland
And you're trying to do what's best for your life or your family. It's.
Lizzie
I've always thought he was a loser. All of them.
Ryland
Okay. Did you have a good Easter?
Lizzie
Well, I took. I took, Right. I took. What's my son's name? I took Billy to swim. And he's been cold in the pool lately, so we got him this sort of, like, thick swimsuit. And honestly, it was giving. Taking up space. He looked like one of the women on the Origin trip.
Ryland
Get him a picture with Katy Perry.
Lizzie
A tiny little astronaut boy in the pool. And I think it's like when you put clothes on a dog and they just, like, freeze. Because he was so docile in it. He's like. And Joe was like, he's not really moving. And I was like.
Ryland
I noticed.
Lizzie
I think the suit's a little big. And he doesn't know what it. Because it's thick, too. To keep him warm because he's been shivering. But he literally was just sort of like. Like frozen stuff. It's like, do we take it off? Like, is this an allergic reaction? He's like, I don't know. And the teacher is like. He's floating so well. He's just in the water like this.
Ryland
I can't believe they didn't cancel swim on Easter.
Lizzie
Well, I mean, they didn't cancel it on Passover either.
Ryland
Okay.
Lizzie
I mean, right? I don't know. Not everybody does Easter.
Ryland
I tried desperately to get a family photo with my children.
Lizzie
I think you succeeded.
Ryland
I mean, I succeeded in that. It's a great memory. But, like, never was everyone looking at the camera.
Lizzie
Why does anyone want that?
Ryland
I mean, we don't. Like, when we took the boys to see Santa, it's like. Of like. It's more of a memory to me now. Of course, they were screaming and it's like, scared of Santa and everything. But I. I think the last family family photo we got was the Easter previous where, like, all four of us are in looking at cameras. So for my mommy memories, I just really wanted one of the four of us this year. But they're at such an age where it's like, they'd rather do anything other than, like, of Course, they're babies. They don't even understand the concept of a picture. But I was like, oh, there goes that dream. It's. I mean, not even a dream, but it's just.
Lizzie
You got great pictures. I saw one of all four of you.
Ryland
It's just.
Lizzie
I saw two of all four of you. At least.
Ryland
I mean, they truly capture us at our truest being.
Lizzie
And that's all you want?
Ryland
And that is all I want.
Lizzie
I always hate wedding photos that are just, like, super staged. And it's like, this is nobody's vibe. Like, everyone in here is a liar.
Ryland
Right? Yeah, I guess pictures are fake in general.
Lizzie
Yeah.
Ryland
Because all parties when there's a picture.
Lizzie
Wait, now take it again. When we took Billy to the Easter Bunny, they were like, you only get one. And it's like, okay. They're like, oh, you're not gonna fight me.
Ryland
Billy's a good times guy, so.
Lizzie
Well, I mean, not always. Sometimes he's like, you know, like planks.
Ryland
And he wasn't scared of the big.
Lizzie
No, he loved Easter Bunny. He loved him. He wouldn't let go of his little hand.
Ryland
The Easter Bunny does look more friendly than Santa Claus.
Lizzie
I think they're all pretty demonic and, like, this man's gonna sneak in your house and leave some behind and eat your food. And it's like, why you're not gonna.
Ryland
Do an Easter for him either?
Lizzie
Well, I don't think so.
Ryland
Well, you could be the Easter Bunny.
Lizzie
Why?
Ryland
It's so fun. What are you talking about?
Lizzie
Why you mean it's so fun?
Ryland
Are you kidding me? Some of my best memories are holidays, mornings, and how my mom made.
Lizzie
We are gonna. We will hunt for leprechauns. Okay, I get that, Joy. I'll probably put food coloring in the toilet and say, look, a little goblin broke in here and peepeed in your business.
Ryland
Like, except for Santa. My mom got credit for all of them. In my mind, it wasn't like I was thinking the Easter Bunny was in my house.
Lizzie
Oh, we will be building leprechaun traps. I guess that's what I'll do.
Ryland
Okay. You'll just be uniquely you.
Lizzie
I don't know. Like, I don't know how to explain Easter to a kid where I'm like, so we don't. We don't observe Easter. You know what I mean? Like, but in our family, a big fucking bunny comes to the house, unrelated to Jesus and his rising.
Ryland
Oh, my God.
Lizzie
You know what I mean? It just seems like, I don't know. I'm not doing that with any other holidays. You know what I mean? I'm not like. All right, sit around the fire, Billy, and let us practice Ramadan.
Ryland
Okay, Billy, come on over for Easter. I'm gonna give you an Easter morning to remember.
Lizzie
I mean, we do. We do things like. I don't know. It's just Easter's not a big one for me. I'm more. I care more about Christmas. Like. Like Christmas breakfast and like that. I don't know, man. Santa's not coming. You just said yourself my kids are terrified of Santa. And you're like. And I'm gonna tell them sneaks into their house.
Ryland
The magic more than the character.
Lizzie
The magic of the man who breaks into your home and scares you.
Ryland
Whatever.
Lizzie
No, we get it. I'm a Grinch. Everybody loves Christmas. I know. I'm the problem here. I'm the Katy Perry. No, my crisis PR hotline is calling me, and they are just saying, shut up. And I'm like, I don't pay you enough to talk to me like that.
Ryland
What you don't do in holidays, you make up for in everyday life. You do the most going to Mommy Me classes. We do be having fun, and so you have fun in those ways. I have fun at holidays.
Lizzie
We went to brunch because we always go to brunch after swim. And there was a dad there, like, a mom. And they had, like, like, four kids of, like, ranging age from, like, 14 to, like, five. And the dad was so stoned, he was just cheesing, like he had no control over it. And he smelled like he had just put out a blunt. Everybody around was like, is someone smoking right here? And I was like, obviously, it's this guy. Like, what do you mean? Is someone. He's sitting there. The. The waitress was like, how many you got? He's like, like, a lot. And it's just like, what? She can't.
Ryland
Did the mom not want him dead?
Lizzie
I don't know. She seemed fine. And I was like, I would be so pissed. Joe had, like, a stuffy nose from allergies, and it was making him act weird. And I was, like, pissed. If Joe was ever chemically altered, like, recreationally around me like that, I would probably put hands on him because it was so enraging to be near. It's like, like, wake up. There's four of these kids running around and screaming. And you're. You are the smoke. I just accidentally put this mic in my mouth.
Ryland
I'm currently enraged by the Ruby Frankie documentary.
Lizzie
Oh, finally.
Ryland
I have. I. I for some Reason I didn't. I didn't know of her when she was on YouTube. I didn't follow the story when it was unfolding live. And it's taken me, what, three months now to get to this docu series.
Lizzie
Yeah.
Ryland
Oh, my fuck. Are you guys familiar and aware?
Lizzie
I mean, I read about it in the paper when it was going down.
Ryland
In the paper?
Lizzie
Yes.
Ryland
What?
Lizzie
The electric paper? The news.
Ryland
I read the Los Angeles Times gets thrown at your door and you open it.
Lizzie
I don't pay for the Los Angeles Times, but I was like, it was everywhere. It was like, it was everywhere. It was on the Daily Mail.
Ryland
How did this go over my head?
Lizzie
It was in People. It was on Page Six. It was in tmz. It was everywhere. I look for the iced tea that we never get to.
Ryland
So you guys all know about this, but basically, this mom fluencer, she had six kids and she was. It seemed like she was doing really well. And I know a lot of the focus is on being like a family vlogger and exploiting the kids, which she did do.
Lizzie
Yes.
Ryland
But what was very fascinating and interesting to me is once she got canceled as a family mom, as like a mommy vlogger, she then, it seemed like, from what I didn't follow in real time, but it seemed like she was getting millions or hundreds of thousands of views. And then she got canceled when it was discovered that. That she made her son. She took away her son's bedroom and he was in the basement sleeping on the love sack or being bag. Yeah.
Lizzie
More than the bed. Like, took away everything from him. She was taking her kids doors all the time, which is normal. My dad took my door. But, like.
Ryland
So she revealed that in a YouTube video, though, and then got canceled. It seems like her viewership dwindled from what they alluded to in this documentary. And then she really leaned into this, like this LDS therapy cult, really. She joined up with Jody Hildebrandt and first started taking her son there. And then really, Jody kind of entangled herself in this family's life. But what I find so crazy and upsetting and horrifying is that this Jody Hildebrandt was saying that she was possessed. Possessed by demons herself. Yes. So Jody was physically overruled by the devil or a demon. And so they went down to her house and they were trying to save her. And then they thought it would be best to move her into Ruby's house. And then at this point, I don't even know if she had a large audience or if she was really exploiting the kids anymore or that she was mainly just, just talking about how to parent and how to be, how she cares more about her parenting than the kids themselves and how she, how like rules are, are everything. So what's just crazy is she then decided, oh, the demon's the worst in her friend Jody that's now living with her at night, so she needs to sleep in the room with Jody. So she leaves her husband at night with the woman. And then it seems like they might be lovers. It's more than a sisterhood. It's more than anyone can imagine. And then the mom tells the dad and the 16 year old son, you have to leave the house. And they both just comply. The dad just says, okay, you're right. And I'm like, yes, the dad wasn't abusing these children, but he just left his kids, the family and, and he just, he leaves. And then the 16 year old son gets kicked out. And then it, then it all unravels in being that the kids, the youngest kids, are also, that they have demonic energy and they're demons. And that's why she starts abusing them, locking them in the basement, tying them up with rope, starving them, doing these horrendous things that are so unthinkable. But she and they in this docu series twist it as though she would do anything for the Lord. And because they were demonic, she was doing right by the church. And the husband in this moment still today is saying that he believes she was doing what she thought was serving God the best and he still has love for her. And I'm like, maybe you didn't abuse these children, but you left their lives. And then you're still saying that you love this woman or have love for this woman. And I could understand if somebody's like, I have love for the memories that were my reality at one point, but how could you ever say I have love for this woman that abused your two children? What the fuck?
Lizzie
Well, she abused all of the children.
Ryland
All of the children were abused. Two of them were very physically harmed. And I just think you have one childhood she has ruined these children for. I mean, the damage will be forever. And I just, I've never been so angry because yes, exploiting your children online is horrible.
Lizzie
Oh, it actually makes me feel like crying when I think about how little they are.
Ryland
It's awful. It, I, I stayed up till 1:30 in the morning finishing this because I just couldn't take my eyes off of it. And then I called Shane yelling about the dad and I'm like, I understand he wasn't abusing them, but when the mom, he was so brainwashed by the mom, by Ruby and he wanted her so bad, like he did crazy. Like he really wanted to marry her, he wanted to be the father of her kids. He really believed what she was saying. The mom always said, I'm a vessel of God and God has called on me to be something bigger than myself, to bring X to the world and the whole family and the kids, kids believe it. And the 16 year old son that even got kicked out, that he was saying, like, I, I believed her, I was sinning, I was, well, these kids.
Lizzie
Don'T know anything else.
Ryland
And I understand brainwashing is real. Like I grew up in Utah and was the only non Mormon family on the block. And I had issues around relationships for a long time because I felt like if I kissed a woman I was sinning. And I like my brother and I would both like, like cry if we made out with somebody because we thought we had created an ultimate sin. Because it's just when the culture around you is that you don't know anything else, so it becomes your reality. So I know this dad was brainwashed, but for him to leave the house and the mom to say, don't contact any of our kids. And when the oldest daughter who was then in college was really questioning things and texting her dad, the dad was like, you know, you're not supposed to be talking to me and blocked her. And he was in an apartment alone trying to get better, to get his family back on track. And it's just, I paused this docu series on so like so frequently because I just had to process and think what was going on. But the most hypocritical thing about all of this to me was that the mom would do anything to get the demonic energy and entities out of her children, that she would physically abuse them. But her lover, best friend, sister, partner, Jody Hildebrandt, who was also overruled by a demonic, she was fine with. And it's like so hypocritical. Like I, I, obviously she's a psychopath that's sick and twisted and in the head, but I just can't. And it's so mind blowing to believe where this got and how. And I think, yes, it started from this family vlogging and if you're, I mean it's so deep and twisted and crazy, but if, if you're a YouTuber that has a family, great. If you're a YouTuber that can only exist on exploiting your children or you can only make money from exploiting your children. You really need to rethink what you're doing.
Lizzie
Yeah, well, I shudder to think. Well, it's not even. It's pretty bad. But it's not like from what I've seen. I started watching a little bit of Kid Fluencer.
Ryland
I haven't seen that yet.
Lizzie
It's an enraged the out of you. These families from what I saw from afar. And I didn't, I wasn't. I'm probably wrong about this, but that's everything I talk about on the show. Their children who had a YouTube channel and they were sort of brought together like, like the Paul brothers did with like team 10 and whatever Logan's was. But they're put into a house and they're all under 15 at the time and there's one adult who's like filming all the stuff that they do and they're just putting out video after video after video and just like their followings are growing and growing and growing and growing and then covet hits and they're like, it becomes their whole life and their whole world. But literally these parents are agreeing to bring their kids to this house to do up on camera and kids for.
Ryland
You know what they're signing up for.
Lizzie
No. And these kids are clearly uncomfortable and there's clearly something about it. And all their parents are just like, okay, okay, okay. Then two moms are like, I'm pulling our kids out. Will you come with us? We're leaving. And one mom's like, yes, I'm coming, I'm leaving. The dad steps in and gets talked to by the one adult that's running the whole house and she talks him into letting the kids stay. So every time the mom's like like calling the police, trying to get the kid pulled out of there. They're like, as long as one of the parents agrees to this, it's okay.
Ryland
It's just so wild to me and I just. Oh, it makes me sick. Yeah, it makes me sick.
Lizzie
And they're all allowed to stay because they're making money. Like crazy crazy money.
Ryland
You could even see in, in the Ruby scenario as they were getting more popular, the life just dwindling from the kids eyes because they start realizing like, like everything is for this.
Lizzie
Yeah.
Ryland
And it's like when they don't want to perform, she's like, you're making $10 to do this video. Do you not want the $10 for this video? And it's like, oh my God. Your kids are not your accessor. If you're not entertaining enough on your own, then you should find a new job.
Lizzie
And they didn't ask for this.
Ryland
No. Oh, it breaks my heart. It breaks my heart. I haven't done a deep dive on where the two youngest are now. They, like, concealed their identities within the docu series, so I don't know if they're back with the dad. They're back. Or if they're in the system. I don't know.
Lizzie
I do want to just, like, say something a little bit hopeful because I do think that, like, upbringings like that can feel like you're condemned for life and nothing's ever going to be okay. But I do have to say that things can be okay. Horrible things can happen to you and you can overcome them. And one of the things that really helps me is, like, I, like, a friend talked to their therapist about all the horrible things that happened to them, and the therapist is like, you're right. That's really horrible. That's really traumatizing. And are you gonna allow it to be what you carry for the rest of your life? This is the worst. These are the worst things that ever happened to you.
Ryland
Yeah.
Lizzie
What does it serve you? What is in your best interest to carry that? And I know that that kind of sounds trivializing, but it really helped me because I, like, I think about all these horrible things that have happened in my life. I'm like, like, what does it serve me to carry that? There is so much that I have to carry every day. Why am I gonna exert some energy on some shit that all it does is hurt me and make me feel like I'll never be okay? Why the fuck would I continue to give space for that on my wagon now? I'm a pioneer, but at some point.
Ryland
You do have to acknowledge what happened. It happened. Yeah. And you have to think, okay, I'm gonna start a new starting point and launch my life forward.
Lizzie
It' like, even this, I'm sorry to always make it about this, but it's like, even with, like, alcoholism, like, alcoholism for me was a coping mechanism. And it's something that got me through a period of my life. And for that I can say, okay, but it doesn't work for me anymore. And so I'm going to drop that. That's no longer something I carry. And it's like, I can choose now to walk a different path and to use different coping mechanisms that feel a little bit better than drinking, to be honest. Feel a lot better than drinking. And they don't cost as much. They're free. In fact, they come with gifts. They are the Easter Bunny. And so I just, I do want to really say, like, if you're going through some shit, if you've been through some shit, it does not define you. It does not own you. This is your story. You get to choose what you carry with you. You in your wagon, period. Choose wisely, because pioneering was, like, hard. And like, if your shit's heavy, I don't know how far you're gonna make it. So, like, get rid of that useless. Take an inventory. What's rotten, Throw the rotten out, period.
Ryland
Okay, we'll see you in a minute.
Lizzie
And no.
Chris
Just kidding.

Ryland
Okay, don't drop the turn on the zip. It's the turn on the sip.
Lizzie
Is this the sip or the after sip? Like, can I say cunt or not?
Ryland
You cannot. This is. Oh, gosh.
Lizzie
Oh, God, it's so hard to be me. Oh, God.
Ryland
Quick, quick.
Lizzie
Chris, get B roll of McDonald's. So they know where we are.
Chris
Oh, yes, yes.
Ryland
They know what McDonald's looks like. And if. Wow. This guy on his AirPod match pros doing business outside of McDonald's is my hero. You don't see him. And I missed the drive through because I'm looking at him.
Lizzie
So I was gonna say, when are you gonna.
Ryland
You missed the business, though, like he was doing.
Lizzie
No, I saw the business.
Ryland
Oh, there's a Minecraft Happy Meal, too.
Lizzie
Oh, should we get that? Yeah, yeah.
Ryland
Along with we're here for the ice cream. It's like. It's like I should figure that out. People really don't like when I get to the drive through and not know what we're ordering.
Lizzie
People seems to appreciate my order.
Ryland
Did they?
Lizzie
Yeah, But I might just be making that.
Ryland
Do you want to get in the driver's seat? When dessert dreams refresh. Okay. Cotton candy. Oreo McFlurry. That sounds like a dream to me.
Lizzie
Like a bad dream.
Ryland
No, a delicious dream.
Lizzie
Premium lemonade.
Ryland
I can never tell if it's the second.
Lizzie
Hi.
Ryland
Hello. Oh, it's my favorite person. Monday. Happy Monday.
Chris
Happy Monday, my friend.
Ryland
Can I get. Wow. I love McDonald's on a Monday. Can I get the cotton candy Oreo, McFlurry, McMunday? Can I get three small ones?
Lizzie
Yeah.
Ryland
And can I get the Minecraft kids meal? Yes. A cheeseburger, please? What? Can I get a McChicken and can I get a McChicken, please?
Lizzie
No. Christmas.
Ryland
Oh. What kind of. What drink? What kind of drink you guys?
Lizzie
Water?
Ryland
The milk that comes with it.
Lizzie
The milk.
Ryland
I think it's like a brand. And then is there anything else that's new?
Chris
Okay.
Ryland
Is there any new items aside from the Minecraft stuff?
Lizzie
No. No more today, son.
Ryland
Oh, okay. And then that's it then.
Lizzie
Why can't I stop thinking about the fish fillet?
Ryland
No. Oh, and then can I get a McChicken, too?
Lizzie
Okay.
Ryland
And that's all.
Lizzie
Thank you so much.
Ryland
Thank you. Thank you. Happy Monday. Did you get Chris his camera? You set up your camera, Chris.
Lizzie
You threw your camera at Chris and.
Ryland
Then you screwed up our angle.
Lizzie
No, no, I put you in it.
Ryland
Well, no, it's got to be even.
Lizzie
I know I leaned over for it, but I put it. I wanted you to be. Don't worry, girl.
Ryland
I've never seen that type of flower.
Lizzie
Oh, that's crazy. Let's keep it moving.
Ryland
There's no one behind us.
Lizzie
Oh, okay, that's just.
Ryland
Just relax.
Lizzie
We're not rushing.
Ryland
I'm trying to get my wallet that I didn't forget. Spring has sprung. Look at the.
Lizzie
Oh, my God. Look at the fucking flowers.
Ryland
Chris, you're such a problem. Chris has always got to be a problem. Oh, shoot.
Lizzie
The flowers.
Unknown
Oh, gosh.
Ryland
Now you ruined my angle for that girl.
Lizzie
You were talking about them, so I was going to show my friends at home. Hi, how are you?
Ryland
Thank you. Have a good day.
Chris
You're the best.
Lizzie
Oh, my God. There's so many Happy Meal boxes in there.
Ryland
Oh, Can I film you doing your heart?
Chris
Yes.
Lizzie
Yay.
Ryland
Yay. Thank you. Bye.
Lizzie
Bye.
Chris
Thank you.
Ryland
Wow. My favorite person ever. This car.
Lizzie
This car needs to mind its own breaking. They make everyone day.
Ryland
What? Why is this camera broken?
Chris
That's what I'm saying.
Lizzie
You did drop it.
Ryland
I did?
Lizzie
Yeah, in the office before we left.
Ryland
You have a good point.
Chris
It said something about gimbal protection.
Ryland
Oh, my God.
Lizzie
Did you break it?
Ryland
It's trying to move and it's not. That would be the craziest gimbal protection. That would be the craziest drop ever, though, for it to have broken it. Like, this camera's been through so much.
Lizzie
Maybe it was the straw.
Ryland
Oh, my God.
Lizzie
Oh. Can you exit gimbal protection. Can you turn gimbal protection off?
Ryland
Oh. Oh, my God.
Lizzie
Oh, my God. She lives. She lives to gimb another day.
Ryland
I honestly don't know if she lives.
Lizzie
No, she's living.
Ryland
How do I zoom out?
Chris
Oh, yeah, you zoomed in.
Lizzie
Wait, how is it showing, Chris? So closely? Wow. You just saved its life.
Ryland
Hold on. Oh, shoot. Oh, my God. Can you try to. Oh, that thing's off. Wow. Okay. Oh, don't you guys love our production flubs? Yes.
Lizzie
What's that purple Z? It is Zoom.
Chris
Zoomed in, right? Is it?
Ryland
Huh?
Lizzie
Man, oh, man.
Ryland
Let's see if it will reset period.
Lizzie
Rylan.
Ryland
Oh, but it face tracked onto him.
Lizzie
We are the luckiest girls in the world.
Ryland
Of course we are.
Lizzie
Hello.
Ryland
Oh, wow. Thank you.
Lizzie
Oh, good. There's the mule.
Ryland
We can't catch a break. Yes, we can.
Lizzie
We are the break two, take one.
Chris
Come and work.
Ryland
Thank you. Have a good day.
Lizzie
Oh, my God. Did they forget the fish fillet?
Ryland
Is that what you want?
Lizzie
No. Get me out of here.
Ryland
Oh, there is somebody behind me.
Lizzie
Get us out of here.
Ryland
The fish fillet is so disgusting.
Lizzie
It makes me sick and I can't stop thinking about it.
Chris
I like it.
Lizzie
God, I hope I'm pregnant with twins and that's why I'm craving fish fillets.
Ryland
Is that what would make that happen?
Lizzie
No, I'm just having cravings. I haven't had cravings in the longest time, but, like, yesterday, I was like, I need a bag. Are you in Cheddar South? What are they? Cheddar.
Ryland
What are they called?
Lizzie
Sunflower chips. Sun chips. Sun chips. Yesterday, I needed a bag of sun chips.
Chris
I love sun chips. I used to be really like, they.
Lizzie
Had them in the store, but I've never needed one. Do you know what I mean? Like, I needed it.
Chris
Yeah.
Ryland
And that's what you needed yesterday.
Lizzie
Yeah. And right now, I need this shit. Oh, we got a McChicken.
Ryland
That's what Chris got. If you're hungry, keep your.
Chris
Take it.
Lizzie
No.
Ryland
Aren't we going to stoke?
Lizzie
Yeah, we're going to stick.
Ryland
That's crazy of you, Chris, to order a sandwich at McDonald's when we are going to stook on the app. I forgot.
Lizzie
He lost half the sandwich when I threw it at him.
Ryland
Chris has never been full in his life.
Lizzie
So Chris has a parasite, and I don't know why we're acting like he doesn't.
Ryland
I'm not trying to drag him. I'm just saying he's still gonna eat.
Lizzie
The boy was made to eat.
Chris
I'm Literally never, ever not hungry.
Lizzie
There's a little voice in his head that says, feed the parasite. What is going on? Why are.
Ryland
You know. What's going on?
Lizzie
I'm looking for fucking lighting.
Ryland
Can you get closer? What's going on? Is this your neighbor?
Lizzie
Yeah. No, it's not. What do you mean, can I get closer? I'm hella close.
Ryland
No, just look. No. Oh, my God.
Lizzie
What do you mean?
Ryland
Every time I ask her to get close like a grandma, she's going, no, don't.
Lizzie
What are you. What do you want from me? You said get closer. What do you want?
Chris
This episode's extra chaotic.
Ryland
The viewfinder is on your side. I can't see it.
Lizzie
Great.
Ryland
So I need you to get physically closer.
Lizzie
I'm looking at it. What am I looking for?
Ryland
I'm lighting.
Lizzie
You're horribly lit unless you lean forward. And then.
Ryland
Do I just close this again?
Lizzie
Yeah, close it.
Ryland
Do I have to give up on the sunroof for the rest of my life?
Lizzie
Yeah, I think so.
Ryland
Even though I feel like it's prettier. Whatever. Screw it. I thought these were supposed to be blue.
Lizzie
I did, too. Are they blue and we just can't talk? It's like the dress.
Chris
They look purple.
Ryland
Okay, let's see.
Lizzie
Is it like the dress where we're seeing black and white instead of blue and blue?
Chris
Oh, the inside. I'm done.
Ryland
This is like. I thought it was supposed to be cotton candy.
Lizzie
Do you guys want to try the milk?
Ryland
It's Minecraft milk. See, that's why I got it.
Lizzie
Is that a dick?
Ryland
Wait, it's supposed to be blue. Like, this is blue.
Lizzie
Let me see. Yeah, I mean, it's light blue.
Chris
Maybe they were running low on the coloring.
Ryland
Should have we got the cones to be more visually pleasing? Like, what's my husband gonna do with all. Nothing. Will you hold one, Chris?
Lizzie
It's definitely not blue.
Ryland
I'm like, what?
Lizzie
Hold up the meat.
Ryland
Am I just delusional or is it not blue?
Lizzie
It is not blue. Because, look, this is kind of blue, and this is really white.
Ryland
How did they make the tray blue?
Lizzie
Oh, see? Hold the tray up so I can show. So the tray is robin egg blue. This is white.
Chris
Huh?
Lizzie
Can I lick it?
Ryland
Yeah, you could try it. But, like, now I feel like we didn't get.
Lizzie
I don't think we got it.
Chris
It's not cotton candy.
Ryland
Huh?
Lizzie
I mean, it's hard to say.
Ryland
Like, is the Minecraft cotton candy?
Chris
Does it taste cotton candy?
Lizzie
It's hard to tell because it's McDonald's ice cream.
Ryland
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No matter what, count your blessings that the machine's on, right?
Lizzie
No matter what. It tastes a little bit like cotton candy is my point, though.
Ryland
Wait, really?
Chris
I was expecting, like, overwhelming cotton candy for some reason.
Ryland
No, that's just vanilla ice cream.
Lizzie
Okay, let's see what it tastes like with French fry sipped in it.
Ryland
That's gonna be really good.
Chris
No, this is for sure. It's white.
Lizzie
That's a bumblebee. That's not Minecraft, is it?
Ryland
Oh, gosh. These will forever be the cutest things in the entire world.
Lizzie
They've downsized them, it seems.
Chris
Oh, my God, that's real.
Ryland
A fry and a McFlurry. Nothing's better.
Lizzie
That is good.
Chris
Yeah, I think. Really think. This is just vanilla, period, but it's delicious.
Ryland
I'm gonna go back in.
Lizzie
You are?
Ryland
I'm gonna walk in and say, like, I can go, or should I just drive, since we're not doing anything anyway. So there's a Minecraft toy. What is it? I know nothing about Minecraft, you guys.
Chris
Neither do I. I think we're all a little old for Minecraft.
Ryland
It's like something you.
Lizzie
Hmm.
Ryland
My kids might like this.
Lizzie
What was that?
Ryland
A Minecraft mansion.
Lizzie
What is that?
Chris
Or is that.
Ryland
I think it's.
Lizzie
Have you guys seen people going ape shit in the Minecraft movie?
Chris
Yeah. Throwing popcorn and drinks and ruining the entire theater.
Lizzie
Someone set fireworks off in one of the theaters. What is that about?
Ryland
What's going on?
Chris
So there's this whole thing. There's a scene where Jack Black goes Chicken Jack, and for some reason, that went viral, and everyone screams, chicka jockey. And then they all start throwing drinks and popcorn and, like, fireworks and, like, injuring people.
Lizzie
I think one theater showed that they had chickens brought in. Should we dip the hamburger in the.
Chris
One guy snuck in a chicken. Yeah.
Lizzie
Why did. Why did. Why are they doing that?
Chris
I couldn't.
Lizzie
Does the movie.
Ryland
There's not many things better than just a, like, basic, trashy McDonald's hamburger.
Lizzie
I'm gonna try the hamburger alone.
Chris
Does anyone want a bite of my McChicken? I know. You sure?
Ryland
What is a McChicken, by the way?
Chris
Wait, have you never had one? Then you should have a bite.
Ryland
You can just tear off a bite for me.
Lizzie
I had the chicken. I mean, I had the hamburger by itself. Now I'm gonna have some with McFlurry. These are great.
Ryland
I don't really want to, like. Like, I don't really want to diss my favorite fast food employee of all time. So I think going in the restaurant would be better. Right?
Lizzie
Yeah.
Chris
I love a McChicken. Wow. What do you think?
Ryland
So it's not spicy. It just has, like, pepper on it.
Chris
I think there is a spicy version, but this is just the regular one.
Ryland
Wow.
Lizzie
But it's as simple as the way you can't stop eating McDonald's.
Ryland
Is McDonald's delicious?
Lizzie
Oh, of course it's delicious. Is it nutritious?
Ryland
For some reason, McDonald's, though, I put, like, low on my radar when it comes to the world of fast food, that is.
Lizzie
I'm joking.
Chris
I used to live off McChickens. Okay, Lizzie. Oh, my God. Wedding.
Ryland
Oh, don't die on us.
Lizzie
I'm so sorry.
Chris
I don't know how to do the Heimlich.
Ryland
Let me see. We're being so disgusting.
Lizzie
If you're making noise, you're not actually choking. It just went down the wrong pipe. But it's like. Of all the times for that to.
Chris
Happen, what did you do? You put ice cream on there, but.
Ryland
It was the bite with the fucking pickle.
Lizzie
Ooh, good move.
Ryland
No, you don't love it. Disgusting.
Lizzie
Wow.
Ryland
You want me to come over there? Imagine if your husband did that in your house. You'd want to beat him to death.
Lizzie
I can't help it. The water went down the wrong pipe. Why do you guys keep talking about the fucking McChicken?
Ryland
Okay, Minecraft. Milk. I have. What is Minecraft? Is it a video game? I think so. Snore.
Lizzie
You're sick.
Chris
I used to live off McChickens because they. I don't know how much they are now, but they were a dollar for every ever. And so it's like it just got me by cheaply.
Ryland
I don't know that I have a receipt to tell you.
Lizzie
How did it get you by, though? Or did it get you hospitalized?
Ryland
Jeez.
Chris
You know, you may be on something.
Ryland
Well, they're just cheap. Ice cream, though, is so good. Is it cheap?
Lizzie
Yeah, it's. That is cheap. It's all cheap. That's the. That's the allure. How much is the Happy Meal? Like $5.
Ryland
I wish I would have got a receipt. I don't know.
Chris
I feel like in a adult meal now, that was like 15 bucks or something.
Lizzie
Yeah, the adult meals are not worth it.

Well, I feel like for them.
Lizzie

Ryland
I think they need to go.
Lizzie
They want you to drive like this with all of your shit.
Ryland
Just everyone relax. Oh, my gosh. The man doing business in his AirPods Max Pros is back.
Lizzie
Do you think that man also had to go in and ask for the coconut? What is it? What are we chasing right now? The cotton candy.
Ryland
Oh, I wish this car wouldn't beep so much.
Lizzie
This car has opinions to share.
Ryland
Okay, you want me to run in and get it? I guess maybe we should just keep rolling.
Chris
Okay, Just. Do you want the cotton candy things?
Ryland
Right.
Lizzie
Oh, God.
Ryland
I have to turn off this car. Maybe just say, like, is the cotton candy ice cream not blue? Because our McFlurries were just regular. And if they do have blue, maybe just get the cones.
Lizzie
Oh, we can put stickers on that toy.
Chris
How many cones?
Ryland
One, two. No, one for Chris and one for us. What kind of stickers?
Lizzie
They're little blocks. So I think Minecraft is like a. I don't even want to talk about this. I don't even know how to talk about it in a way that's, like, damning for our.
Ryland
What do you mean?
Lizzie
Online. I feel like not knowing about Minecraft at this point in our lives is, like, embarrassing.
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
Ryland
Oh, does everyone do it?
Lizzie
Apparently. Where are you supposed to put these stickers? Diamond Block and Steve.
Ryland
A McDonald's fry is so good.
Lizzie
It really is. Where are people putting these stickers?
Ryland
I'm contradicting myself. I'm always on the Internet talking about how they're awful.
Lizzie
The fries. No, you're stupid.
Ryland
I know, But I'm always out there saying, they're so bad. They're thin and salty. And now I just said they were good, but I'm vibing with them today only.
Lizzie
Listen, I think your electrolytes are coming out of my fucking nose. To this day, I cannot wait for this to be over so I can just blow my nose because.
Ryland
Go out of the car here. Go throw this away and relieve yourself.
Lizzie
No, it's like a whole thing. Like, my face will be different after I do this. Yeah, it's crazy.
Ryland
I don't think I've ever had a situation where I don't think I can.
Lizzie
Do it until I'm in the shower. You know what I mean? Like, I need a private damp space, like, to just clear it all out.
Ryland
This is a lot. Okay.
Lizzie
Did it just turn itself on?
Ryland
Oh, Chris's door is open. Maybe this car really wants to keep you safe, but the beeping sometimes can drive you fucking mad.
Lizzie
I'm Gonna go out on a limb and say, this toy fucking sucks?
Ryland
No, I think my babies will like it.
Lizzie
What are they gonna do with it?
Ryland
Open it. And it opens. All of it opens.
Lizzie
Why are they gonna like that?
Ryland
They like to collapse things and put things back together.
Lizzie
A little engineers. Yeah, Little baby Janeers.
Ryland
Okay, can you hold their attention for, like, 35 seconds? Can you come up with a story for 35 seconds while I'm gone?
Lizzie
You know what I want to talk about? What? My friend who is in Pilates and some stranger put hands on her.
Ryland
And by stranger you mean the person working there?
Lizzie
No. So I just got a text message from a friend, and she goes, a lady came up to me in Pilates and was like, can I align you? And my friend didn't even have a chance to say yes before this person put hands on her C section scar and pressed so hard, it made my friend want to scream. And I'm like, was it the instructor? She goes, no, girl, just some lady in class.
Ryland
Well, then why would she say yes to it?
Lizzie
She didn't even have a chance to say anything to it. The woman was moving in while asking.
Ryland
That's enraging.
Lizzie
That's crazy.
Ryland
That girl should be kicked out of the studio, period.
Chris
I came in on a scary part of the story.
Ryland
What's going on? What's the verdict?
Chris
So they were very confused at what I was asking, and three employees came up and kept asking different questions.
Ryland
And what did they ask?
Chris
They were like, what do you mean, Kanye? What do you mean? It's blue. That's what you're talking about. And I'm like, no. And then I pulled up pictures and I was like, this one with the Minecraft. And they were like, oh, we don't have that. Is that from this state? Sometimes it's in different countries. And I'm like, no, I think it's Minecraft. And they were, like, very confused.
Ryland
Participating McDonald's restaurants. But, like, which ones are participating?
Lizzie
Are any of them ever? I feel like this happens to us a lot.
Chris
But after talking to all three of them, they were like, we don't have that. And I was like, okay, well, I've.
Lizzie
Totally dismantled this toy.
Ryland
Well, is the Dubai chocolate out at Crumbls? Should we just get that one only?
Lizzie
No. What?
Chris
There's a pretzel crust pizza at Papa. Yeah, Papa John's. That sounds like a pretzel stuffed crust.
Ryland
It's a new thing. Don't be nasty.
Lizzie
I mean, didn't we accomplish the mission?
Ryland
We thought we tried to accomplish the mission.
Lizzie
I think we secured that. Listen, I destroyed the toy you said your children would love. I choked. It almost died in a way that's gonna make me have to take a second shower today.
Ryland
Okay, well, we've been filming for 18 minutes, so hopefully we got something to entertain you. Even if it wasn't food that looked or was delicious.
Lizzie
We dipped French fries in the wrong thing and then we dipped the burger and honestly, it left it.
Ryland
You know, for girls that are unaware, we did correctly identify that it was the wrong thing. Yeah, whatever. Okay, you guys, thank you so much for watching and enjoying the sip. We hope you had a great time here. If you didn't, hopefully we hit it out of the park next week. Hopefully we find something delicious to try.

Lizzie

Lizzie
No, but I really should have.

Lizzie
And that's it.
Ryland
You're crazy.
