Experian. Maybe I'm just like, weird. Maybe I'm crunchy. This is the Southern Tea with Lindsay Chrisley. I think it's so funny when you get Christmas cards and all of these people write their children's accomplishments on the back. I don't love them. A Southern girl and a boy mom who's trying to navigate life while staying.
C
True to her roots.
B
I am a functioning, non functioning human being right now. I join Lindsay each week as she swears to spill the tea, the whole.
C
Tea, and nothing but the tea. That is the tea.
B
Here's Lindsay. Good morning and welcome back to another episode of the Southern Tea. How are you, Kristen?
C
I'm doing fantastic. How are we today?
B
We are good. I do have an announcement. The Southern Tea podcast is up for final voting in the kids and family category for the People's Choice Podcast Awards. Please please check your emails. If you voted for us in the nomination round, some of you will be selected to vote in the finals. We soon so appreciate you. Outside of that, I'm looking for a local arborist.
C
Excuse me?
B
That's my. That's my task this evening is to find a local arborist.
C
Because you want an arbor?
B
No, that's somebody who comes out and like, checks your trees and.
C
Oh, why did I not think that that's what it was called?
B
Isn't that what it's called?
C
I don't know. Hold on. What?
B
Maybe I'm typing for the wrong thing. Can you imagine?
C
You're correct. Professional who? Man who? An arborist is a professional who specializes in the care and management of tree shrubs and other woody plants.
B
Okay. And the reason I'm saying this is because I'm assuming where I live is just like a pocket area for where when storms come through, it does a decent amount of damage to shit. And this one tree looks like discolored on one side. I'm looking at it right now. It looks discolored on one side and it's like a regular color on the other side. And it's the same Tree that has dropped. What did you say? Branches or limbs?
C
Limbs.
B
Same tree that has dropped, like, huge limbs. So, apparently my neighbor, who also does Pilates at my Pilates studio, came over to my house today, and this is the text message that I received. Hey, I looked at your backyard. It was raining, so I didn't totally study the trees. But the limbs on the ground are typical ones to break off. Not many leaves are on them. I'd worry if larger ones with green leaves and small branches break off. If you are uncomfortable about it, call a reputable arborist.
C
Okay.
B
So, I mean, she was over here doing the Lord's work. I guess. These limbs. You said limbs. Limbs that come off, I mean, take up a whole side of my backyard. They're that big.
C
They're massive. That's why when you said they're. A branch fell. And then you sent me the picture that you sent me, I was like.
B
Like, this big around.
C
It's literally a limb that came off your tree. Also, your HOA is gonna be thankful because you got in trouble for your last limb.
B
I did. And the other limb got cleaned up on Saturday. But now I'm, like, terrified. Is the tree, like, dying and that's why it's doing it?
C
I mean, if it's happening after storms, I feel like probably not, but it's, like, rather. Rather be safe than sorry. Especially if it's big enough to take out your house.
B
Okay. This tree is so large in my backyard that if it hit number one, if that tree comes down, it's gonna hit my bedroom. That thing would knock my brains out.
C
Yeah. You know, adulting. No one told us we have to worry about trees. Don't know about you.
B
To prevent, like, brain splatter, I'm gonna have an arborist come out and just, like, take a look at it.
C
Yeah. I was talking to Corey about a tree situation in my backyard over the weekend. Because it's, like, not our tree, but a lot of it hangs over into our yard. And I just. My parents had that issue when. Where I grew up. And I was like, you just sometimes.
B
Gotta, like, I had that issue at my old house. And I'm sorry to tell you, but I would send over an arborist to cut down that tree if it became an issue for me.
C
Yeah, I just, like, wasn't thrilled when I saw it. Like, I was really examining it. Cause I was real eye level with it when I was in the pool, and I was like, that's a lot of tree that's hanging over our power line connecting our House to the thing.
B
Oh, I have an update for you.
C
Okay. I love it.
B
So you know how I told you that I need to find out if I have Jackson for fall break or if I don't? Okay, well, Will calls me the other day, and he's like, hey, I'm thinking about going to Cancun for fall break. Like, do you have them or do I have him? And I said, well, I mean, we don't really do that anymore. It's just whoever's doing something or has plans just takes him wherever they're going. Right? So he's like, cool, I'm gonna book Cancun. Little did I know, I'm also going to Cancun.
C
Okay.
B
So we're gonna be tearing up Mexico at the same time and possibly together.
C
That Campbell family is coming in hot.
B
It is coming in hot to the heat of Mexico.
C
Yes, it is.
B
Then I get the confirmation of Will's scheduled trip over text, and he goes, jackson will be at the kids club, and I will be at the discotheca. And I'm like, first of all, no, the. You won't.
C
Are you staying at the same place?
B
Oh, no. Like, since he already booked one place, I'll book another place.
C
Okay. Okay.
B
You know what I mean?
C
Yeah.
B
I'll just get a pass to, like, go over there for the day.
C
Yeah, that'll be cute. Like, surprise. Jackson, did you. Does Jackson know you're going to.
B
No, he has no idea.
C
Oh, my God. Just roll up in Mexico. I need to see this reaction.
B
The other family affair that we have going on is it's about to be college football season, and, y', all, I cannot fudgeing. Wait. Like, I have been looking up crock pot recipes. I have found, you know, like, rotel dip. Like, where you use the sausage dip. Yeah. Okay, well, I never thought of this, but you can use that dip. And there's, like, a way to make it a little bit thicker to make tacos.
D
Oh.
B
So I thought that was a good idea. And it's getting that weather. Like, yesterday here felt like the most perfect fall day. And I said to myself, lord, if this is you, like, blessing me with early fall weather, you know that I need it. Because personal life, quite literally, disaster. He said shambles. Shambles it is. So I was like, if this is the Lord's way of letting me know that, like, I am okay, I will take it. So Clemson plays at Georgia Tech this year in Atlanta. So Will already has tickets. I have to get tickets. It's his weekend with Jackson. But we're all going to the game now. He has sent me a text message and told me that he's not listening to Jackson's for the entirety of the game. So Jackson can sit with me.
C
Oh my God. One day they're gonna be the best of friends and then you're really, you.
B
Know, the thing is, is that they are the best of friends and I think that they're such the best of friends and have such similar personality, which is why they cannot get along.
C
Exactly. But like, when Jackson becomes an adult, they're gonna be thick as thieves and it's gonna be so bad for you. It's.
B
It's gonna be really bad. I hope that my life has like leveled out and we figured things out by that point.
C
Me too. That's a good goal. By the time Jackson's 18, I could have my life leveled out because shambles.
B
Honestly, no. But I'm so excited for college football season. Like, you have absolutely no idea. We were going to take Jackson to the LSU Clemson game on opening weekend. However, when we did that for the Carolina game last year and then Clemson lost by one. Truly might have been the worst day of my life. So I was like, you know what? For those reasons alone, we're just not going to that game.
C
I mean, valid. That is very valid.
B
Also have another update for you.
C
Okay.
B
Me thinking that, Me thinking that I'm going to get out of jury duty the last minute today I am sitting at the car dealership, like with my laptop, listening to this woman next to me crunch her nuts and have a phone conversation with her daughter in law. I get an email from the jury duty people, the senior deputy clerk and it says attached is your jury summons for Monday, August 11th. Please complete step one juror form as soon as you can. Well, number one, it's not even a clickable form, so I don't know how I'm supposed to be doing that. I scroll down and it says a one time deferral may be granted on very limited circumstances. Well, I'm pretty sure I already got deferred because I never got the first summons right. It says you can be deferred. Like for legal exemptions would be full time college student at a university, vocational school or other post secondary school primary caregiver, having active care and custody of a child 6 years of age or younger with no alternative child care. Why does it have to be six years or younger?
C
Yeah, because I'm just thinking to myself, if you're the primary caregiver and it has to be 6 years or under. Are they saying that a 7 year old can take care of themselves while you're a jury duty for maybe a week? I'm confused.
B
I'm so confused. I'm like the government has me up.
C
You do.
B
Because if they think.
C
What you open the scan of worms.
B
Oh, like truly they have me up because if you think that I am number one, I would have to be there earlier than the time that would be dropping him off at school. Like number one, it doesn't even say I don't think as a time to report. So that's number one. Like I'm looking on here right now. How am I supposed to know that information? Do I just show up when I want to?
C
Absolutely not. Hold on.
B
Also, do we think that it is somewhat of a scam that your compensation.
C
See what it says. Reporting date and time, 811 at 8:15am.
B
Okay, well that's a problem because I have to get my kid to school. Well, and there's no way. The earliest I can drop him off is 8 o'. Clock. There is no way that I can be checked in, go through security and all that kinds of. To not even be selected for the jury.
C
So it's sounding like Willard's gonna have to take him to school.
B
No, because then that means that I'm gonna lose my Sunday evening, which I'm not doing that. So I might be in contempt if.
C
I get a phone call on Monday that you are fucking locked up.
B
It says other reasons that you could be excused is a medical excuse. Okay, well, my brain hurts. So that's number one, non resident of the county. Okay. Doesn't apply to me. Non US Citizen or convicted felon?
C
None of the above.
B
So personally I'm none of the above.
C
So it sounds like you got to figure out how to get there at 8:15 in the morning.
B
I already sent all of the information to Will because I already knew that you were going to tell me that. Which I don't really care what you say. I think I'm just like not going. But I sent him the information and just said, please kill me. He said, that should be fun. I said literally if they would just pull the podcast clips, they, they would know that I am not fit for jury duty because everyone is guilty.
C
Is there a number you can call and just be like he's he or she is guilty.
B
Anywho.
C
Yeah, I'm just kidding.
B
You're like, good luck going to jail. I've been meaning to talk to you about this case because I cannot get over it. I never Heard anything about this case until I saw it on People magazine the other day. It says, parents of Lacey Fletcher. Again, never heard of this case. But this was a woman who melted into a maggot infested couch. Her parents were sentenced to 40 years in prison.
C
I think I saw this on Tick Tock and I didn't think it was real.
B
No. So this girl was or. Or woman. Her body was found melted into a maggot infested sofa in her family's home. And it says that the sentence was 40 years for both of the parents. And they were ordered to serve five years of supervised probation once their prison stints are over. I hate to tell you, but if she was 36 years old and this happened in 2022, these people are going to die in prison for sure.
C
For sure.
B
And I just don't understand how, number one, that this could have happened, because where was she? Chained to a maggot infested couch. And how did no one see her?
C
My mind is blown. Melting into a couch. I didn't even know that was physically possible. Unless you were dead and then decomposed into the couch.
B
Well, I mean, I'm gonna assume that she died well before she was 36. Had found at 36, supposedly she had been under the supervision of her parents, who were acting as her caretakers.
C
Not doing a great job.
B
Yeah. It says that. Prosecutors argued that due to Lacey's mental state, she was unable to make the decision to refuse medical treatment. She had been diagnosed with autism and was non verbal.
C
So this sounds like a case of. And this was her parents taking care of her. Yeah, this sounds like a case of the parents didn't want to.
B
Yeah, it said that. In courtroom documents obtained by the Advocate at the time, authorities said that her body was covered in maggots, ulcers on her underside, and fecal matter crushed into her face, chest and abdomen. A coroner stated that her weight had gotten as low as 96 pounds and that her bones were visible. She had also reportedly tested positive for the vid. It says. A Louisiana coroner ruled that Lacy died from acute medical neglect inflicted over a period dating back to at least 2010.
C
Holy. Yeah, I don't understand. I don't understand.
B
They. If they found her dead in 2022, but she was basically chained to this couch since at least 2010.
C
12 years.
B
Like, what the wrong with people? And this is an autistic child that was non verbal.
C
I. I literally don't know. I. I don't know.
B
Like, if you are not fit to take care of your child, then at least give the child the option to go somewhere where they can be properly cared for. Like I think chaining a child to a couch.
C
What? What?
B
Any period of time but from 2010 to 2022 for there to be fecal.
C
Matter mashed into her face.
B
Yep.
C
What the actual fuck is wrong with her family?
B
Speaking of autism, did you see the news about how there's going to be a new Florida law that creates spectrum alert for missing children with autism?
C
No, I didn't.
B
I'm like, why is this only in Florida? It says a new Florida law that will soon take effect aims to help first responders when children with autism are reported missing. It says that Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 711 into law after legislator unanimously passed the measure. The law establishes the Spectrum alert which will operate much like the Amber Alert, Purple Alert and Silver alert systems with a focus quickly on finding children with autism.
C
I think that's fantastic and I don't typically agree with a lot of what the hell goes on in Florida, but this one's good.
B
Listen, I don't agree with all lot that goes on anywhere, but I think this is great. It says when a spectrum alert is activated, law enforcement agencies must notify local media outlets, all on duty officers and neighboring counties.
C
I think that that's fantastic and I hope that it helps.
B
But how crazy is this? This? This Statistic says in 2024, 481 children on the autism spectrum were reported missing to the national center of Missing and Exploited Children.
C
Holy shit.
B
Yeah, yeah. What they're saying. Do law enforcement know that children with autism spectrum disorder they flee from bright lights and heavy sounds, it says or they gravitate towards bodies of water leading cause of death for children with autism is drowning. So do they go to bodies of water? This is important to think for law enforcement to be aware and receive this training.
C
I wonder what the statistic is like, what percentage of missing children compared to specifically autistic missing children is like what is the percentage it accounts for? That would be good to know.
B
I know it says what's next. The law takes effect July 1, so it should already be in effect but law enforcement agency have until July 1, 2026 to implement the full program.
C
I really hate when they pass laws like that and it's like years out. That really annoys the out of me.
B
I mean it's really just a year from the date but I just think them implementing some like that. I would love to see other states implement that as well. I feel like that should have been a federal situation, not just state.
C
I agree. I definitely agree.
B
Outside of that, you know how I have been big on going to Sam's and like stocking up on stuff to try to save pennies?
C
Yes, ma'. Am.
B
Okay, so Will went to Sam's yesterday and I was scheduled to go to Sam's and ended up not going. But Jackson loves the Chobani flip yogurts and they sell them at Sam's. I think it's like an 18 pack or something. But it's a significant savings buying it from there.
C
Yeah.
B
So when I was just doing my doom scrolling, it says that there is a new class action lawsuit that alleges Chobani failed to disclose that. That its yogurt products contain plastic chemicals. Oh, yeah. So of course I send the article over to him and he goes, well, Jackson's going to eat the ones that I just bought. And I'm like, excuse me, do you see that this is a class action lawsuit?
C
I wonder if it's a situation where it was like a specific batch or if it's like all.
B
I'm thinking that it's all because it doesn't say like specific batches. And normally it does say that. What were we talking about last week? There was something. Oh, Ritz crackers. Yeah, I do think that that was certain batches.
C
Okay. Yeah, I mean, I would agree.
B
So it says that the claims are claiming that Chobani's prominent front label and lid representations that its product contains only natural ingredients and that that is untrue.
C
I think that anything that is inside of plastic, it's leaching. Like that's just how I feel.
B
It says the chemicals have also been reported as probable human carcinogens by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
C
You know, there's tons of crap that I've been seeing like lately that's coming out. This, this study. This causes cancer. That causes cancer. There's like nothing safe.
B
Nothing. Do we think that it's fair for companies to be able to put on labels, stuff like no sugars, no whatever, but then it does have it in there.
C
Absolutely not. I don't think so. That's false advertisement at minimum.
B
So how do they get away with doing that for such long periods of time until you find out something?
C
Well, that's, that's like saying same thing. It's the same exact thing as beauty products. Right? Like they'll say there's no silicones in a product and they, it's, it's under something else. Or there's, you know, Something is. Is they'll advertise it as clean and they have fragrance as one of their top ingredients. And unless you're specifying where it's coming from, like, it's. Labels are so misleading.
B
So misleading. It pisses me off. And now I have to throw away all of the Chobani yogurts that I went to get at Sam's thinking I was doing a savings and really I just wasted money sucks.
C
It just. It. Nothing is safe. It's one of the many issues.
B
Speaking of nothing is safe, you're not even safe if you go to a baseball game. Because I saw this viral video going around that it appears, it shows that these baseball fans were caught in a vile sex act at Yankee Stadium. Did you see this?
C
Yeah, I did. Because I'm not far from you. Obviously, I'm not very far from Yankee Stadium. And if I'm not mistaken, the one of the individuals was in a Phillies situation, which is, you know, Phillies are what is like my home team or whatever. So I absolutely saw that. Blowing up all over Tick Tock was the. One of the craziest things that I've seen in a long time.
B
It says that the footage. The footage was captured by another fan a few rows back and it started appearing on Tick Tock. This was around the same time that the Yankees secured a 43 win over the Phillies. I'm just confused what they were doing. Like, not. Not to try to get, like, too graphic into it, but it definitely appeared to me that it was a finger bang.
C
It. It was absolutely a finger bang. Mid game, out in the open, forever in the open.
B
And when you watch the footage, I mean, I didn't really see like, the fingers going in. I'm just like, assuming that that's what was transpiring. But this was not like, in a suite. This was not. This was just like an open seating.
C
Open seating, full, broad daylight, sun shining right on them.
B
But who does that?
C
I don't know because I know there's like, people have different kinks. Like, exhibition. Exhibitionist is like a kink. And what is that? It's like where you, like, you. You get turned on by doing in public and stuff or people watching you, things like that. But that was wild. That was literally like. I cannot believe. If I was there, I don't think that I would have thought that I was having a stroke. I definitely would have been like, I'm not seeing what I'm seeing right now. No.
B
But there were children around.
C
Yep.
B
I'm like, how could those people not be charged with like some type of crime.
C
Like they might be. I'm. I wouldn't be surprised if they are like after the fact or if like they're banned from the stadium or charters coming after. Because I am friends with people who got into a physical altercation at a Phillies game and charges were absolutely pressed after the fact.
B
Yeah, it does say in the articles that I found. It says that neither of the teams have responded to comment and I'm like, why would they comment?
C
Imagine like you're, you're a young, you're like one of the Yankees or you're one of the Phillies and you're just like scrolling after the game and you're like, wow, this was occurring like while I was doing my job.
B
Could you imagine being the people that were sitting next to them?
C
That's cr. I'm just shocked that no one said.
B
Shit because I wouldn't have been able to keep my mouth shut. I would have been like, take that finger bang somewhere else.
C
I would have been literally thinking that I was having a stroke. When I had to watch the footage three times, I was like, not because my brain was telling me it wasn't real. I'm like, this is AI or something.
B
I also thought that when I first saw it, I said this is going to be one of those things that surfaces and then I go on this deep dive and there's no articles about it. No, there, there are lots of articles about it.
C
Yep.
B
For sure. It's full blown real. Speaking of sexual stuff though, Alabama is starting a porn tax.
C
Oh, okay.
B
Yeah, so it says. Alabama can't seem to decide whether it wants to discourage porn consumption or profit from it. Starting in September it will levy a 10% tax on adult website proceeds from any porn prod or sold in the state.
C
So is the tax going to the people consuming the content or creating the content? Because it sounds like it's the creating, not the consuming.
B
It said. Well, I'm going to tell you how the porn tax works. But it says adult websites are reportedly being told to create their material harmful to minors tax accounts. Now it says how the porn tax works. The tax was enacted as part of a larger anti anti porn effort known as the House Bill 164. Pornography is creating a public health crisis. The measures finding sections claimed Alabama isn't exactly a porn industry hub. So the tax might seem at first glance like more of a PR effort than anything else. But the way that the law is written, it could have a far. It could have far reaching implications. The tax applies to all adult websites with which legislation defines as digital platforms where more than a third of the content counts as sexual material harmful to minors.
C
I'm not actually that surprised, I will say. I just found out from someone that lives in North Carolina that like they can't get porn or vapes or anything like that in North Carolina. So this is not the first state that's doing like this.
B
So like porn somehow blocked on their computers in that state.
C
Oh wow.
B
Yeah, I've never heard anything about that. It says in addition to all other taxes of every kind there is there is levied and shall be collected attacks at the rate of 10% upon the gross receipts of any commercial entity operating an adult website for all sales, distribution, membership, subscriptions, performances and all other content amounting to material harmful to minors that is produced, sold, film generated by are otherwise based in this state. The law says. So a website like only Fans would seem to owe the State of Alabama 10% of any money it makes off of Alabama based content creators as well as 10% of any money paid by Alabama customers.
C
Holy shit. Like I, I will say that like for me it's like there, people are always going to find a way, whether it's a vpn, whether it's, you know, if that's what they want access to, they're going to find a way. So I think that for the state to try to make money off of it, it's probably like the best way. I felt the same way about like when people were legalizing marijuana to like be able to like tax it and like that I'm like, you know, people are gonna find a way. So.
B
Well, I guess the finding the way is still breaking the wall. So if you get caught breaking the law, not everybody's gonna get away with it. Yeah, VPNs freak me out. Like after all the stuff that's come out about Co Burger and him using a VPN and like it's twofold, right? It's so good to be able to have that protection. But then at the same time for people misusing it for protection for breaking laws. Like I wish there was a way around that.
C
Exactly, exactly.
B
I mean is there a way to like register a VPN to some type of like government website or something to where the government would know that you were the person using the VPN, but not necessarily everyone else would know?
C
I don't really know because I'm not super familiar with how VPNs work outside of disguising like your, like it changes like your IP address and like the location that you're doing it from.
B
People are truly just sick folks. I'll be the first person to say it. I also saw a crazy ass news story again about delta. They seem to be making headlines lately, but it says delta airlines employee stolen iPad that was left on a plane by a child and use it to upload explicit videos of himself.
C
Why the like? Why?
B
It says a South carolina couple has filed a federal lawsuit against delta airlines after discovering sexually explicit videos on their child's lost iPad that were allegedly recorded by an airline worker. They came across the graphic content that had been saved in the family's icloud account, according to the lawsuit that was filed on July 16 and the U. S. District court in charleston. According to the lawsuit, the family took a delta flight from Charleston to New york city's John F. Kennedy national Airport on July 19 before a connecting flight to London. After they arrived in London, they realized that they had left behind their child's iPad with a peppa pig case on the plane in the seat pocket. The child's mother then began receiving random messages about the missing device. So she used find my app to track the iPad to Queens, Jamaica, New york, it says although her apple ID had been logged out, photos continued to sync to the icloud account, which included selfies of a man wearing a delta uniform and a visible name badge. His name was not revealed in the lawsuit. The family filed a lost item report with delta between the time of the first report and August 27th. The brewers never received a response from the airline worker. And then the pornographic videos began appearing in their icloud account. The videos allegedly showed the same man from the selfies masturbating while he was wearing a Delta uniform and a name badge.
C
What the fuck would possess someone to be like, let me see that iPad and I'm going to jerk off and film it and upload it.
B
The fact that it had a peppa pig case on it, well, that's leading.
C
Me to be like, did he get off because he saw the kid?
B
That's exactly. That was the first thought that I had in my mind when I ran across this. I said, maybe that's just a pedophile.
C
And I'm not trying to be sexist, but like, once again, men, I just.
B
I don't understand.
C
I don't. I don't get it either. I will say that that whole connection with like the icloud shit, that fucks people up big time, like, frequently I actually have someone in my personal life that people's iclouds, huh? That Somehow had some type of connection going where if a picture came into an iPad, it was automatically uploaded to an Amazon gallery or something like that. Oh, and they were receiving somebody. And somebody was receiving nudies. What? Yep. And their daughter pulled it up when.
B
She had her I.
C
Because it was connected like to. Or the Amazon Echo, not the iPad. My bad. The Amazon Echo. And she pulled it up and that's how a friend of mine saw some.
B
Some shit that is insane the way I would absolutely riot if my child forgot his iPad. And then I saw. Saw some man masturbating on my icloud.
C
That's even like, what? For what? What? Once again, I'm not kink shaming, but keep your kink to yourself.
B
I just like, really don't understand weird kinks. Like, I understand like some of the more like normal ones, but I mean, getting finger banged at a Yankees game and then masturbating on a kid's iPad that you essentially stole off of the flight to masturbate on with your Delta uniform on.
C
How. Why are people so dumb?
B
Like, why you. You couldn't wait to masturbate until you got your work clothes off.
C
But even why are we recording it on. On a kid's iPad?
B
You know, it goes back to the conversation you and I have had about dick pics before.
C
Yeah.
B
And it's just like, why are we recording that?
C
Why did we think it was a good idea is where we always end up.
B
I promise you, I don't want to watch you jack off.
C
I don't know. Some people are into it.
B
Could you imagine if someone just, like, sent you a video of someone jacking off?
C
No. I get very terrified on airplanes because the amount of time like I like now, it's not set to always on because you can't do that with airdrop. But like, the way that I was always scared back in the day when you could set it to always on, I would be like, if I get airdropped some fuck shit right now.
B
I used to get airdrop stuff on planes all the time. I feel like it still worked when Chris Lee Knows Best first started because I feel like that's when I was traveling a lot and I would just get like, accept this airdrop or whatever.
C
And you're like, no.
B
And it's like, why are you trying to airdrop me? Anything? Number one, mind your business. Yep.
C
Freaking weird.
B
You know what I am so excited about? Well, I had no idea that this was even happening, but it was a People article. It says the next Colleen Hoover movie is Here. And you can now watch the trailer for Regretting you. I watched the trailer. I'm so excited. It says the first trailer of Colleen Hoover's latest on screen adaptation has arrived. It says that Paramount Pictures debuted their first look at Regretting you, and it's Based on Hoover's 2019 contemporary romance and young adult crossover of the same name. I cannot wait to go and see this.
C
Why did I think that Verity was coming out soon?
B
I don't know, but it says that this is what's coming out.
C
Okay, so verity is airing October 2nd, 2026. And that one is regretting you October 24th of 2025. Yeah. Okay. Okay.
B
Yeah. I absolutely loved outside of the controversy that has taken place after I went to go and see it ends with us. It kind of, like, ruined it for me a little bit, the controversy did. But I still absolutely loved the movie, and I thought that it was so well done. And I will absolutely be in theaters to see this. I very rarely go to a theater to see a movie, but this is something I can get behind.
C
Kale and I went and we saw a screener before it had aired of it ends with Us. And obviously she had read the book. She was interviewing Colleen that same trip. I went with her to the screening, and I had never read the book. And I was bawling my fucking eyes out in the movie theater.
B
Same.
C
And then I bought the book to read. I haven't read it yet, but I bought the book to read. And I'm wondering, like, which one I'm gonna like better. Because typically, I'm like, I want to read the book and then see the film.
B
Mm.
C
But I'm gonna be doing this one in reverse, so I'm intrigued. But I will say I did read Verity, and I, first of all, I love Dakota Johnson, and that's me too.
B
I always have.
C
So I'm obsessed with her, and I can't wait to see that film. But I'm also just sick and twisted, so, you know, I. Did you read Verity? Probably not.
B
I feel like became a book girly.
C
I know. I think you should add it to your TBR.
B
I am gonna add regretting you ahead of October 24th so that I can read it and then watch it.
C
You need to get on Goodreads.
B
What even is that?
C
It's basically like a social media platform just for, like, books and readers. So you can, like, people can follow you. You can, like, put in. You'll have to ask Kale about this. She's way more experienced than I am. But you like put in what book you're reading. You can make lists of books that you're interested in reading or have read. You can read your do your reviews, but people can like follow along with your reading and they could like, you know, you can update people. It'll be like I'm on page 76 out of 307 or some shit like that.
B
Oh, cool.
C
Yeah.
B
Wait, are you the type of person that like leaves reviews for like places and things? Because I'm not. I love to like read what other people say, but never have I ever left a review on something.
C
If I had a really, really good experience somewhere, I'll leave a review like and I just like want people to know about it. I will leave a review, but I'm not really one to leave negative reviews on at all.
B
I've never done that.
C
Yeah, sometimes I'm like, if this was a really cool experience, like for example, the Candle place, I would leave a review for.
B
Yeah, I need to know what's going on in Pennsylvania though, because. Did you hear about the hot dog truck crash?
C
Oh yes, yes. Yep.
B
What do you know about it?
C
Frozen hot dogs all over the freaking road.
B
Did you see them?
C
No, I didn't. I don't leave the house. I did not see them.
B
Okay, well number one, we all know that I am a hot dog lover and consider myself a connoisseur of hot dogs. So I would have been out on that highway trying to scrape some up. But it said it caused a multiple vehicle crash.
C
Not surprised. Did you see the amount of hot dogs and they were frozen like did.
B
You said thousands of frozen hot dogs causing a multi vehicle accident involving a tractor trailer which left four people injured and tons of debris on the road. The fire crew said that the incident occurred on Interstate 83 a few miles north of the Maryland line around 9:30am local time on Friday, August 1st. They stated that four people were transported to a nearby hospital after the incident and they did not disclose their conditions. The fire crew also said that the interstate had to be shut down as crews cleared the debris and the vehicle. Several fire crews responded to the incident to help reroute traffic. It says that a photo shared by the volunteer fire company showed several crew members wearing safety vests and holding what appeared to be rakes as they headed to clean up the doven. Dozens of broken boxes and hot dogs laid out on the highway.
C
Yeah, it was insane. I just kept seeing like four footage of it and I was like, I really hope that everyone's okay. Also me being me I'm like, if I got taken out by frozen hot dogs, the way, I'd be so pissed.
B
The way are you ever driving the car and what are they called? Like intrusive thoughts. Like this morning it happened to me when I knew that my Bronco was having to go into the Ford dealership and it's going to sit there for days, right? And I'm taking my other car to get serviced. When I pulled out of my driveway was like, I really hope that somebody doesn't rear end me today.
C
I don't know if that's an intrusive thought. I know intrusive thoughts are like, I could just like quick run my car right into this pole like that.
B
Oh no, I don't have those like.
C
Thoughts, but I have what you're talking about. And I think what did it to us is the Final Destination movies. Because every time I'm behind something that has in like a truck that has in the bed.
B
Yes.
C
I am immediately transported back to watching it. Tanning beds. You'll never catch me in one. I have never gone in a lay down tanning bed because of Final Destination.
B
Oh my God.
C
Like ingrained in my brain.
B
This article says, and this is a quote from the fire company chief. I can tell you personally, hot dogs are very slippery and I didn't know that. He added of the cleanup. Once those leave the truck and hit the road, it's all garbage and it's still pretty warm.
C
So were they melt? He basically saying they were melting, I'm.
B
Assuming, I don't know like what would be slippery or like a melted hot dog or a frozen one.
C
Definitely melted one. Frozen you can like grab onto, you know what I mean? But like melted, that shit is slippery. Like you can just imagine like that shit being wet. You know what I mean?
B
Wait, speaking of like nasty ass food, which I know the food that I'm about to say is not like nasty ass food because I very much enjoy it. I was on the phone with Jackson the other day and I guess he and Will had gone through McDonald's and Will didn't order him his order. He's like, you'll just like learn to like what is on the burger. I've told you this before, that's just.
C
How will never going to work.
B
But I was like, I'm not, I'm not getting like specifics at McDonald's. So Jackson wanted to call me and he was like, why do I always get to get what I want on it when I'm with you? But then dad makes Me get all this other stuff on it. And Will was like, don't start talking to her about McDonald's when she was pregnant with you. She slapped me with a double cheeseburger because I had asked for a regular cheeseburger when we went through the drive thru. And I guess I was so hangry, but I didn't want the double patty of me. And when we pulled off and I realized he had got me a dub cheese, I just slapped him with it.
C
That was a poor memory for Will.
B
He will never forget it. He's like, I literally will never forget it. Speaking of McDonald's, I sent this to somebody from Circle of Idiots the other day. People are quick to tell you that McDonald's is unhealthy. What about that relationship you're in? MC Stupid Ass Bitch?
C
You love that account. You love that account.
B
I love y'. All. I will be laying in the bed howling over a circle of idiots, and it's like, the stuff's not even, like, that creative or funny. It's just, like, funny. You know what I mean?
C
Yes.
B
Oh, I need to know what you think about this. So I saw that Alex Cooper was talking about engagements and how they should be a joint decision. And she said, I think that some people forget about an engagement. It should be two people making the decision. And then the guy gets to have their fun where he decides when men. Women are out here. Like, I hope he's going to. I think it's so up that women are hoping that a man is going to propose and wants to marry you. No. Have you guys agreed to joining your lives together? Make the decision together and then let him have his moment.
C
Okay, so I think I understand what she was trying to say. I think that the wording was awful. There's nothing wrong with, like, hoping. Right? Like, for example, Corey and I knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with each other and had that conversation numerous times.
B
Oh, you had the conversation, like, the.
C
Conversation of, like, what are we doing? Like, what is the goal here? Right? Like, I don't really know anybody that got engaged in my personal life that got engaged. And there was not a conversation of, like, we're doing this. Like, we're trying to be together for life. So, like, I knew that's what we wanted. Like, I knew that's what had been, like, talked about, mentioned, whatever. But I was still hoping he'd propose.
B
Yeah. See, at this stage of my life, if I'm gonna get remarried at any point and there's gonna be a proposal, and it Is not a well thought out plan. And you make sure I have a manicure. I'm pissed.
C
Yeah. Which valid. I mean, I got proposed to in a hoodie and leggings with no nails done, so I just didn't give a shit. It was like, whatever. It was Halloween. But like, everybody else that I've assisted with their proposals, like, they've been well thought out and planned.
B
Yeah. I mean, I would want, like, a well thought out and planned one because, you know, I've been through what I feel like the trenches.
C
Shambles.
B
We're back to shambles. I can't. The things that I wish that I could say that I can't just like, hi, it's me again.
C
Peachford.
B
Peachford's calling. I don't know. Like, I somewhat agree with this. Like, I do think that. And maybe it's because I've dealt with men in the south, that it's like this assumption that because you're together, that it's this an assumption that after a certain amount of time that the engagement comes next. And I do believe that sometimes that this happens where there has not been a conversation and somebody's completely caught off guard and then they try to chalk it up to. I wanted you to be surprised. That's not the surprise that I'm looking for.
C
Well, to me, I'm just, like, I don't know, dating with intention. I knew I wanted to be a. What? I knew I wanted to be married and, like, be a wife. So. So, like, I wouldn't have been dating Corey if I didn't want to get married.
B
Okay, I need to ask you this question. Do you think that it is a red flag if you were with someone that has been married before, dated other people said they never wanted to get married to the other people after their marriage ended, but then they would now want to get engaged and get married?
C
I think it depends on the relationship. I wouldn't say that's like, an automatic red flag, because I do think that the right relationship can make you rethink things that you had already said you would never want to do. Right. Like, I think that it really just depends on the relationship. So I can't say automatic red flag, but I would say, like, if there are already red flags in the relationship and then that happens and, like, suddenly they're like, oh, but I would get engaged to you. It's like, why?
B
It's like, what makes me so special that the other people didn't do. But you were with them for, like, what I would consider a Significant amount of time.
C
Yeah, I would definitely question it because I think that a lot of times engagements are used as a tactic to attempt to trap another. Not trap, but like, trying to stay together. It's like a grand gesture when things are not good. Right. Like, something that I respected somebody in my personal life for was literally saying, if you're thinking about proposing to me, do not, because we are not doing well right now.
B
No, I completely agree with that. Like, I don't think that those should be relationship saving moments. Yeah.
C
That's not.
B
Like, I think back on having Jackson, and we were in such a happy place, like, had just gotten married. And yes, we had come out of a hard time because we had both just lost one of our grandparents. He lost his grandmother, and I lost my granddad. But it felt like the right timing and he was created in love and like, that's something that can never be taken from either of us or from our kid, for that matter.
C
Right, right.
B
I do think that it is so common that people that are trying to either hold on to something that they're not, like, ready to let go, that the first thought is either, let's just get engaged or let's get married or let's have another baby or let's have a baby.
C
Yeah.
B
I'm like, I can promise you that's not going to save your relationship or your marriage.
C
Yeah, 1,000%. Couldn't agree more. Yeah. I think. I think that maybe Alex just didn't use the right words.
B
I can say that from experience. Will and I put ourselves in a situation, like, when our marriage wasn't going well. We both knew it, everybody else didn't know it, but we're still actively trying. And I had the miscarriage and I was like, well, you know, maybe that was just God's plan. Like, maybe he was like, I'm gonna show you that you can do this. But, like, you're not gonna have it because you, like, I'm not gonna give you this.
C
Okay. Okay.
B
And now, not that I'm thankful for it because it's terribly sad. And I always wonder if that child would look like Jackson or if it would have been a boy or if it would have been a girl and, like, what we would have named it. And I still go through all of that. And every July, like, I'm so sad around that time of the year because of it. But at the same time, knowing that we divorced, I'm like, maybe that was God's protection for that child and for us that we have one kid in it and not two.
C
Yeah. I mean, you, you'll never. You never know.
B
You never know what it is. But, like, the level of devastation, like, going through, going through that, but also knowing that, like, we were going through such a hard time in our relationship and then that loss, too, it makes me feel sick to, like, even talk about it. So I'm going to read the weekly devotional. This is definitely something that is related to my personal life currently. And it says, if it's God's will, it will be. There are seasons when doors don't open, prayers seem unanswered, and the future feels uncertain. In those moments, it's easy to doubt or rush ahead of God. But this reminds us that God will fulfill his purpose in us, in his time, in his way. Waiting is not a waste. When you're waiting on the Lord, he sees the full picture and knows what's best. What he has planned for you will not pass by. If it's God's will, it will be no matter how long it takes. Take a deep breath. You don't have to strive. You don't have to have fear. God is not slow. He's intentional. What he begins, he completes. His love won't let you miss what's meant for you. And then I also saw this. As bad as you want to address it, sometimes it's best to let God defend you. He saw it too. And Kristen, you can attest that both of these are so relevant to my life. And I'm just, you know, what, trying to hold it all together because Shambles.
C
Shambles. Yep.
B
I'm like this episode will be titled Shambles. And on that note, I'm going to go and decompress at Pilates. I hope that everybody has the most fabulous week.
