[Gia Giudice]

Welcome to Dirty Rush. The truth about sorority life with your hosts, me, Gia Giudice, Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Kessler. Hey, guys, and welcome back to another week of Dirty Rush. I am currently here in Vegas, and I know a lot of sororities and fraternities come here for fall break, do formals out here, and day parties. This is definitely the place to have some fun, but sometimes fun comes with trouble. So I'm excited to be here in Vegas. The vibes are high. Vegas has me thinking about all of the scandals that come with sorority life. So I'm going to tell you my little story. I think it's more risky than scandalous. I don't know. I didn't do anything that scandalous in my life. And here's some stories from some other people as well.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Hi, Gia.

[Gia Giudice]

Hi.

[Jennifer Kessler]

How are you?

[Gia Giudice]

Good.

[Daisy Kent]

How are you? Good.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Excited to be in Vegas, but it has me thinking of a crazy story. It's not my story, but I have permission to tell it from my sister. So we can just jump in.

[Gia Giudice]

Let's go.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Okay. So essentially, my sister took a trip to Vegas with her sorority sisters. They were all having a grand old time running around the Strip, but they weren't 21 yet, which clearly is an issue being down here. So they were definitely testing their limits with the fake IDs. I'm shocked that they were able to get in anywhere or do anything.

[Gia Giudice]

I mean, honestly, I heard recently they of some people, you know, that are underage getting in with the fake IDs.

[Jennifer Kessler]

But, yeah, I guess they've gotten there.

[Gia Giudice]

If you have a good one, if you have a dupe, if you have a good one, like, if you literally have somebody else's old license and that person really looks like you, it's a little more manageable than buying a fake ID off the black market. But things have definitely, I think, gotten more lenient. For sure.

[Jennifer Kessler]

I think so. And I think the ideas just have gotten better and better. So anyways, they're running around testing their limits with the fake IDs, having a fun time, and they find themselves at the blackjack tables.

[Gia Giudice]

Oh, my God.

[Jennifer Kessler]

So they start playing and not thinking anything about it. And my sister's sorority sisters were not doing too well. They're kind of wanting to opt out, but they're having fun at the table. They made friends with some people around there. And all of a sudden, my sister starts doing really, really well. And she has no idea where this burst of luck came from. But long story short, she ends up getting up to $4,000.

[Daisy Kent]

Wow.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Of money won.

[Gia Giudice]

She Hit the jackpot.

[Jennifer Kessler]

She hit the jackpot somehow.

[Gia Giudice]

And I randomly just getting that on a random day. Especially as a college student though, as a 19 year old, that is like, that's, that's iconic.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Yeah, I was in percent okay.

[Gia Giudice]

This four grand is helping me for the rest of the semester.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Absolutely. Absolutely. So she is on top of the world. But she gets to a point where she's kind of scared and she's like, I need to take this money and like not place my bets any longer. I'm done. I need to cut it off. So they say goodbye to everybody at the table. They take her chips to go cash in. And although her ID worked at the table to play, her ID was not working when she was trying to cash out. So this woman behind the counter is scanning her id. Her sorority sisters are standing behind her. They're freaking out. They're so scared, trying to hold their composure. All of their faces are beat red, I'm sure. And they are kind of going back and forth with this woman. She's trying to make calls to the table to verify that she was at that table. And she's like, I'm going to get arrested. She's terrified.

[Public Investing Advertisement]

Yeah.

[Jennifer Kessler]

And by the grace of God, somehow this man who was at their table walks over and daps her up, pats her on the back, is like, congratulations, that was amazing. Huge win. And he saved the day because he was able to like verify to this woman that she was at the table. Yeah. And so this woman, without her ID even scanning, handed over the $4,000 to my sister and she was freaking out.

[Gia Giudice]

She had a lucky night.

[Jennifer Kessler]

She had a lucky night.

[Gia Giudice]

Sometimes, you know, Vegas can be trouble, but sometimes it could also be a whole lot of fun. And absolutely.

[Jennifer Kessler]

It always, I mean, I mean it.

[Gia Giudice]

Always brings to Gandal. I mean, gamble scan. I said, I said scandal and gamble at the same. I guess this is the place to gamble. So, yeah, she definitely hit the jackpot. And I. Yeah, she pulled it off.

[Lauren]

I know.

[Jennifer Kessler]

I feel like it is one of the more legendary sorority Vegas stories that I've ever heard. So I wanted to jump in and share underage.

[Gia Giudice]

I wouldn't recommend doing this.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Absolutely.

[Gia Giudice]

Don't do this.

[Jennifer Kessler]

This is like one in a million.

[Gia Giudice]

When I. I didn't go anywhere until I was 21. Like, I didn't.

[Lauren]

I.

[Gia Giudice]

First time I was in Vegas, I was actually 24. So yeah, I didn't. Or no, I was 23. I was 23, but didn't go out into the bars like until I was 21. I was just always so nervous, especially being in the. Being a public figure. I did go to clubs in New York, though. Underage. That was always easy. But, like, you knew to never go to, like, Hoboken or the down the Shore bars in Jersey with a fake id because it was always risky Vegas. I would never, ever have thought, I can't believe.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Believe she tried. I don't think I would have either.

[Gia Giudice]

But, I mean, good luck to your sister. That's awesome.

[Jennifer Kessler]

I know. It was a good one.

[Gia Giudice]

Well, thank you so much for telling that story.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Absolutely.

[Gia Giudice]

And now I have a little, I guess, scandalous story. Maybe I was just, like, breaking the rules at a date party. But we had a date party in New York. Rutgers didn't really do date parties where we traveled or did anything like that. I know some schools would go to Nashville or New Orleans or even Vegas and go to really cool places. We didn't really do that. We stayed in the New Jersey or New York area was the furthest we went. But we had a date party in New York City and I wanted to go out after. So a couple of my friends and I decided to ditch the party bus on the way home back to Rutgers. And that wasn't allowed. But no one ever snitched on me, so I never got in trouble. We partied at the club till, like, 4am and went back to Rutgers, but I never got in trouble for it. But usually you are not allowed to do that because they obviously are accountable for you and it's a liability issue and stuff like that. But I ended up finessing no one.

[Lauren]

Snitch.

[Gia Giudice]

Thank you, Zeta sisters. And, yeah, that was my, like, scandalous story, though. I guess I was just being a little risky that night. I just. I never really did anything that bad, though. It was never really, like, a bad kid.

[Jennifer Kessler]

You had Vegas energy that night.

[Gia Giudice]

Yeah, I had Vegas energy that night. I had Vegas energy for sure. So just wanted to be out all night and. Yeah, that was fun. And now we're on with Stacy. She has a scandalous story from sorority college life.

[Stacy]

Hi, Gia.

[Gia Giudice]

Hi, Stacy. How are you?

[Stacy]

Good. How are you?

[Daisy Kent]

Good.

[Gia Giudice]

Well, I'm in Vegas right now, so I think your story pertains to Vegas.

[Stacy]

Yeah, I could see a lot of people in Vegas acting the way this fraternity boy did in my incident.

[Gia Giudice]

Oh, wow. Okay. I'm excited to hear it.

[Stacy]

Yeah, it's been like, oh, gosh, how many years? Like, seven years or so since I graduated college. And I was really involved in my sorority. I was social chair and I don't know about where you went to school, but social chair usually, like, plans all the formals and date dashes.

[Gia Giudice]

Yeah, I did. I was special chair of events, so.

[Stacy]

Yeah.

[Gia Giudice]

So similar, like, certain things.

[Stacy]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So we had a formal, like, in December before we went on winter break. And I'm checking people in, and if people were too drunk, their date, or themselves, like my sorority sisters, the security guard would tell me, and I was supposed to be the one to say, like, sorry, you can't come to the formal.

[Lauren]

Right.

[Stacy]

Was that the same for you too?

[Gia Giudice]

Basically, like, if you were, like, blacked out, like, you could not go in.

[Daisy Kent]

Right.

[Stacy]

So I was checking everyone in, and one of my sorority sisters, who I was actually really friendly with, had her crazy boyfriend who was in another fraternity on campus. And the security guard and I fully look at each other because he was very drunk. So it was very clear that it would be a liability if he went to the formal. So I had to be the one to tell him, I'm sorry, you guys can't come. And they obviously freaked out, but walked away. So I thought, okay, that's the end of it. So we go to formal, get on the party bus. Everything was perfect. And then I get back to the sorority and get off the party bus. And the house mom of my sorority and the president were like, hi, Stacy, we need to show you something. And I was like, oh, gosh, what happened? And I walk over to my car in the parking lot because I drove to the sorority. I didn't live in the sorority, but I had to, like, unload things for the party and whatnot. And the fraternity boy basically took a Ciroc bottle to my entire windshield and glass on the front of my car and stomped on my car and just completely keyed the side of it. Just totally ruined it because I didn't let him in. Yes. And I didn't know who it was right away. So I was, like, bawling, crying. I'm like, are you kidding me? But they knew it was, like, someone on campus.

[Gia Giudice]

Okay, that's just, like, so od. And it wasn't even his date party. Like, it was your sorority's. Like, I would get it. I understand if he was maybe so mad that he couldn't get into his own date party, but the fact that he did it to you and it was like, it was your sorority date party. Like, they could have gone out afterwards to, like, a bar at school or, like, done something else. And especially if they were dating. Like, just enjoy your night with Your girlfriend then at that point or just, like, go to bed. The fact that he did that afterwards is insane. Like, I think, like, mental asylum. Like, I don't even think that that's normal.

[Stacy]

Right.

[Gia Giudice]

Like, you have issues.

[Stacy]

And she ended up getting dropped from the sorority, and he got dropped from his fraternity because Panhellenic found out and it was just.

[Gia Giudice]

No, I mean, you completely vandalized and ruined someone's car. Like, definitely, like, mental institute vibes.

[Stacy]

Exactly.

[Gia Giudice]

I wonder where he's at now.

[Stacy]

I don't know. He had to pay me back. I'm like, are you kidding me?

[Gia Giudice]

Like, oh, my God. He had to pay you back?

[Stacy]

Yeah. I mean, I had to get my car fixed. I wasn't even drivable.

[Gia Giudice]

Oh, my God.

[Lauren]

Wow.

[Gia Giudice]

So I'm sure that was a pretty penny, too.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Stacy]

And, you know, I was scarred after that. I didn't want to be social chair anymore. I didn't think people would act like that.

[Gia Giudice]

I mean, of course. I mean, that's just not. That's just not a normal way to act. But it's. You know, it's. I feel like, especially with guys, they get a little carried away sometimes when they're drinking and they get that, like, macho, masculine vibe and just want to, you know, dominate and show their dominance. And that was his way of doing it. I mean, I thought you were going to go with this story telling me that they ended up ubering to the venue of the day party and tried to, like, sneak in, but then it really took a turn.

[Stacy]

That would be better.

[Daisy Kent]

Yeah.

[Gia Giudice]

I mean, I thought they were just going to, like, really try to make their way into this date party.

[Public Investing Advertisement]

Wow.

[Gia Giudice]

That's crazy. I'm so sorry about that. But I'm happy. Like, I'm happy you're okay now, and I'm happy he paid for your car and got kicked out of his fraternity.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Well deserved.

[Stacy]

Yeah, well deserved. And everyone just completely blacklisted them, so they did it to themselves. But I will never forget that. Yes.

[Gia Giudice]

I would not either. That is crazy. Oh, my God, Stacy. Well, I'm so sorry. That would definitely scar me, too. But that is a crazy story. I wish I had a story like that that I could tell, but I. I don't. But I'm so sorry that happened to you, Stacy.

[Stacy]

I'm sure you experienced crazy fraternity boys.

[Gia Giudice]

Yeah. Definitely experienced crazy fraternity boys. I mean. Yeah. I mean, this one guy was dating my best friend, and he was definitely aggressive with her. Not the best boyfriend. And it happened at the frat house. And I Literally saw red.

[Lauren]

Because.

[Gia Giudice]

I kind of went through something similar for one instinct again, one time of my life. So I literally saw red and I ran up to my friend's ex boyfriend and literally, like, punched him in the face. And like, all of my. All of my friends, like, all my, like, guy friends in the fraternity were like. Like, they were like. And I was like, guys, I'm fine. Like, I feel good now. Like, I did that. Like, he can leave. Like, and then we obviously, we had to, like, call the cops. And my friend never spoke to this man again because I'm like, dude, I literally punched someone for you. Like, you're never speaking to this guy again.

[Stacy]

So your friend wasn't mad at you?

[Lauren]

No.

[Gia Giudice]

Oh, my God, no. Like, she know. She knew that I did. And they were like, on the, like, on the cusp of, like, breaking up.

[Daisy Kent]

Like, it was.

[Stacy]

Right.

[Gia Giudice]

It was very bad. But. But, yeah, this was like the icing on the cake. And that. That was the worst encounter I've ever had with a frat brother. But, like, all of my guy friends in the fraternity were like, gia, are you. Are you crazy? And I was like, no, I'm not crazy. Like, he just, like, put his hands on my friend. I'm not crazy at all.

[Stacy]

But I'm glad you did that. You have to stand up for your friends.

[Gia Giudice]

No. Yeah, but they were. You know, I think no frat boy would ever mess with me again.

[Daisy Kent]

No. No.

[Gia Giudice]

Or my friends, for that matter.

[Stacy]

But whoever listens to this knows not to mess with you. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Well, anyone out there who's a social chair, just be careful because you never know.

[Gia Giudice]

Yeah, definitely be careful. That's crazy. You could probably deal with some crazy people.

[Stacy]

Exactly.

[Daisy Kent]

Yeah.

[Stacy]

Drinking doesn't help.

[Gia Giudice]

No, drinking doesn't help. And for some odd reason, I think it just. Just really escalates men's testosterone to another level. So.

[Stacy]

Right. They have to just act cool in front of their fraternity brothers.

[Gia Giudice]

And then the alcohol and for whatever reason, like, violence is always the answer, whether it's like getting into a fight outside the bar or, like, doing something completely out of line and inappropriate. Like, boys always result to violence when they're drinking.

[Stacy]

Yeah, most.

[Gia Giudice]

Most boys. I should not say all boys, but most.

[Stacy]

Right, Right. Yeah. No, people would always head butt in my college, like, and, like, getting fights. Like, things were just weird. Not my. Not my cup.

[Lauren]

No.

[Stacy]

Not my cup of tea.

[Gia Giudice]

No, definitely not. Well, Stacy, I'm glad you're okay now. Thank you for sharing your story. And yeah, social chairs definitely Be careful. Maybe have. Maybe have security on backup.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Stacy]

Yeah, for sure. Well, thank you, Gia.

[Gia Giudice]

Thank you.

[Lauren]

Before all the algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes, shopping used to feel more, well, fun. But here's a confession Dirty Rush listeners. You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. It's not mindless scrolling, it's a fashion pursuit. I love using filters for condition and price saving searches and spotting verified listings. It makes shopping feel smart and exciting again. And when you score that rare Adidas Collab or that Dior saddlebag you've been manifesting, it's a rush. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay's authenticity guarantee. EBay Things people love did you know.

[Daisy Kent]

Hi, guys. It's Daisy, and I have one of my producers here with me.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Hi, guys.

[Daisy Kent]

We're so excited. And being in Vegas, it kind of got me thinking back. My first time I came to Vegas, it was actually for a frat formal with pike, and that was the first time I had been there.

[Jennifer Kessler]

That is crazy. How old were you?

[Daisy Kent]

I was 19. It was my freshman year. So I feel like you're still figuring out college. I mean, you can't even. You're not even 21 yet. Yeah, but we were, like, doing the college thing, so, yeah, we were finding ways to. Everyone had fake IDs. But my first time in Vegas, so one of my best friend, Christy, who I talk about pretty often, but we were freshman roommates. We weren't best friends until we moved in. But anyway, we had a really good friend, Joseph, and like, a week before they did their frat formal, his date, like, ditched him. So he didn't have a date. And he was, like, venting to us about it. Me and Chrissy were like, well, we'll go with you, but you have to bring both of us. He was like, I don't know if I can do that. And so he reached out to his, like, fraternity, whatever. He was also a freshman, and they were like, sure, you can bring them both. So we both went to Vegas, and that was my first time coming here. And we did, like, all the things. Where was that movie filmed? What's that casino?

[Lauren]

Or.

[Daisy Kent]

Not the casino. It's like a hotel they filmed a movie in. Is it the Hangover?

[Jennifer Kessler]

Oh, is it the Hangover? Caesar's Palace?

[Daisy Kent]

Yes.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Okay.

[Daisy Kent]

Yeah.

[Jennifer Kessler]

And so I stayed there for fall break one time. That is a crazy place.

[Daisy Kent]

And so pike, like, rented out that, like, area or whatever. And so we were all in there, like, hanging out. A lot of people, like, weren't 21, and if you're 21 using a fake in Vegas, like, it doesn't really work. So we were just kind of doing what we could, you know?

[Jennifer Kessler]

Yeah.

[Daisy Kent]

And. But then one night, we were walking back on the Strip, and, I mean, you see all this, like, craziness on the strip. And this guy comes up to us and he's like, do you guys want to get in a limo? He was like a promoter. He says, do you want to get in this limo to go to this club? Everything's free. And we were like 19. We're like, okay, yeah, let's do it.

[Jennifer Kessler]

That is terrifying. You were just no hesitation, got in the car.

[eBay Advertisement]

I don't know.

[Daisy Kent]

That's what I'm saying. Like 19 year old me, she was crazy. But so we were with. Me and Chrissy were with Joseph and a couple other of like the guys. And so we got on this limo and we're like, okay, this is awesome. There's alcohol in the limo. The driver is like in a suit. Never been to Vegas before. Thought we were going to this club. We pull up to the said club and we walk inside. And first of all, they said we didn't have to pay anything. Me and Chrissy could go in, but the guys had to pay. We walk in and there's like a wrestling match of people in like a boxing ring.

[Jennifer Kessler]

All these men, like, boxing ring in the middle of the club.

[Daisy Kent]

Yes. Like in these crazy outfits. And then it was like looking a little strange in there. Like wasn't giving club vibes. And then all of a sudden all these strippers walk out.

[Lauren]

No.

[Daisy Kent]

And we were at a strip club.

[Jennifer Kessler]

And you had no idea walking in there.

[Daisy Kent]

What? Did I what?

[Jennifer Kessler]

You had no idea what?

[Public Investing Advertisement]

No idea?

[Daisy Kent]

Because when we walked in, it was like the wrestling match going on. So I don't know why that was it there and then it was strippers. I'd never been to a strip club before.

[Jennifer Kessler]

This is unreal.

[Daisy Kent]

It's like a fever dream. And then we were like at there and of course it's like a bunch of 19 year old guys with us. Like they're. They're having the time of their life. Okay. First time in Vegas. They're at a strip club. Like that's a. That's the high of their year. And then me and Kristi are like, okay, let's find the bar and get a drink. And we go and it's a no alcohol place. Like they don't have alcohol. And we were like, this is something like what? I don't know. It was just. It was like the craziest thing though.

[Jennifer Kessler]

That is insanely counterintuitive to not have alcohol at a place that strippers. We have a wrestling match, we're on the strip, right? No alcohol.

[Daisy Kent]

I was like, honestly, it was a great first time in Vegas. Because I was like, I have such a good story. And I'm like, okay, that's like. That's what happens in Vegas. You know what I mean?

[Jennifer Kessler]

Absolutely.

[Daisy Kent]

I remember getting back when we, like, left, and I was like, okay, I feel, like, so gross. I feel so dirty. I need to go to church.

[Jennifer Kessler]

It's also, like, how do you explain that to someone else? Like, I feel like they wouldn't.

[Daisy Kent]

You can't. I know.

[Jennifer Kessler]

It's just nuts. And the fact that that was your sorority or your first fraternity formal that you ever went to, traveled for.

[Daisy Kent]

Yeah, it was my first. So I've been to other fraternity formals before that, but that was my first, like, traveling one.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Yeah.

[Daisy Kent]

And it was in Vegas.

[Jennifer Kessler]

It's intense.

[Daisy Kent]

We were all 19.

[Jennifer Kessler]

What a story. I love it. So you're 19 years old. You're gearing up for Vegas.

[Daisy Kent]

Yes.

[Jennifer Kessler]

How are you getting to Vegas? Did everyone road trip? Were there buses? Because I've heard of fraternity formals that take kids on buses, and it's a whole organized thing. But was it structured like that?

[Daisy Kent]

So sometimes we had ones like that, but this one wasn't. It was kind of like everybody, like, get in a car and bring your date. Because it was. Yeah, it was some, like, weird break in school or. No, it was Easter weekend, so it was, like, a weird break. So people. Yeah, we were at the strip club Saturday night on Easter Sunday, the next day.

[Public Investing Advertisement]

Awesome.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Awesome. That is so wild. And so when people go on these trips.

[Daisy Kent]

Yeah.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Like, I know if you're in the sorority house, you have, like, house mom. Like, where's house mom? Is there any supervision?

[Daisy Kent]

So I think sororities, like, in my experience, they're a lot more, like. I don't know what the word is, like, careful or like, they have, like, you have, like, risk, like, management or whatever. So it's like, some people are, like, sober the whole time and making sure everyone's like, okay. But I feel like frats, from my experience, are more of, like, a free for all, and it's just like. Like, we were just like, you're just having the timing of your life, and you're 19 years old.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Yeah.

[Daisy Kent]

I mean, there's upperclassmen, but, like, how old are they? Like, 22.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Daisy Kent]

I mean, what rules are they really enforcing their fraternity? Like, you're an adult, but, like, you're not. You know what I mean?

[Jennifer Kessler]

Yeah. That is so wild. And how many people do you think went on this trip?

[Daisy Kent]

I think there's probably, like, 120.

[Jennifer Kessler]

And then they all bring A date.

[Daisy Kent]

Yeah. And then they all bring a date. That's in our date case. He brought two dates.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Yeah. So who knows how many people snuck onto this trip, right? I love it. So post all of this happening.

[Daisy Kent]

Yes.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Did we ever see this promoter again? How did we get home?

[Daisy Kent]

Like, so I believe we just took. We took Uber's home.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Okay.

[Lauren]

And then.

[Daisy Kent]

But no, we never saw the promoter again.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Sad. I feel like he deserved a thank you note or something.

[Daisy Kent]

Yeah, literally. And then it was funny though, because so all of, like the upperclassmen, they're like 21, so they were all like, at the actual, like, club. But we can get into the actual club. So we were at a strip club, I guess. But I remember the next day they were like, all like, Jerry, about their nights. Like, well, we ended up at the strip club. And all the other classmen were like, wait, what?

[Jennifer Kessler]

I bet, I bet. Because they probably thought they had the craziest night being able to get into all the places. You're like, I have a story for you.

[Daisy Kent]

Yeah. We were like, no, the freshmen had the craziest night.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Yeah. So while you're at the strip club, were people taking out singles? Like, what was going on? How was everybody reacting to being in this environment?

[Daisy Kent]

I mean, yeah, all the guys were like, throwing money. For sure.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Yeah.

[Daisy Kent]

I was kind of like in. I was like, what is happening? It was like almost like. Like, you don't like, you're like, is this real life?

[Jennifer Kessler]

Yeah.

[Daisy Kent]

Is it actually happening? It's also like, I'm 19 years old from the middle of nowhere, Minnesota, like a town of like under 2,000 people. Like, this is absurd to like, this is nothing I've ever seen before.

[Jennifer Kessler]

Yeah. And how was that drive back to San Diego? Brutal, I'm sure.

[Daisy Kent]

Brutal and kind of like questioning. Like, what I just. Everything I just experienced.

[eBay Advertisement]

Before all the algorithm fed, blah, blah, and the endless sea of dupes. Shopping used to feel more fun. But here's a confession. Are you a Charlotte, listeners? You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. Because on ebay, it's not just shopping. It's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing, that adrenaline hit is real. I went on to ebay to look for a super special vintage jacket for Charlotte to wear to the gallery. And I found the most amazing Mugler jacket. And the costume department loved it and it felt so good. And I still have it at home. Like when you score that rare Adidas collab that's lived on your mood board or the Dior saddle bag that you ripped right out of a magazine in 2007 and never got over. Yeah, those. It's about the thrill and the pursuit of finding those pieces that feel like you. There's always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay. Authenticity guarantee eBay things people love did you know?

[Daisy Kent]

Okay, guys, we have a caller that just called in. Her name is Lauren. Hi, Lauren. Hi, Lauren.

[Lauren]

Hi. How are you? Good.

[Daisy Kent]

How are you doing?

[Lauren]

Great, thanks.

[Daisy Kent]

Thanks for coming on Dirty Rush. So I heard that you have a crazy story about Vegas.

[Lauren]

Yeah. So when I was in college, we had something called an airport party, which I had never heard of before getting to college. And I don't know. I've never heard of that around for. So this is probably 1993. And I went to Cal in Berkeley.

[Daisy Kent]

Oh, fun.

[Lauren]

So what it consisted of, you went to a fraternity? Actually, it started with. I went with my best friend's brother, who was a good friend of mine, and he showed up at my sorority. He brought me a Chia Pet, which was a unique gift, I guess, instead of flowers, and picked me up. And then we went back to his fraternity, had a bunch of cocktails for an hour or so, and then we went hopped on a bus and drove to the Oakland Airport. And everyone got off the bus, and it was, you know, pre 9 11, so very little security. We went straight into the terminal, and they drew a name out of a hat. And that person was gonna win a trip to Vegas. And I did not pack a bag. I had no intention of going of going to Vegas. I had my formal the next night, and I had a boyfriend that I was going, you know, with to my formal, so wasn't planning on going. Yeah, I guess all of the cocktails and a lot of coaxing, we decided we were gonna go. So someone gave me, like, their hairbrush, and I don't know what else they had in their bag.

[Daisy Kent]

You're like, who has something I can take with me to Vegas?

[Lauren]

Because I'm like, okay, so I'm gonna have a hairbrush, and that's it. I have no clothes, nothing. And so we left everyone. I don't know where the rest of the party went, but we boarded the flight. It was a Southwest flight. And in those days, they had the phones on the back of the airplane seats. And my date and I, our parents grew up together. They went to Cal together. Really good friends in each other's weddings. And so we decided to call our parents. I think it was probably, like, 11:30. I'm sure we woke them both up and said, you know, we're going to Vegas. We won this trip. And they didn't quite grasp what we were doing.

[Daisy Kent]

So just you two?

[Lauren]

Just the two of us, yeah.

[Daisy Kent]

What did your boyfriend think of that?

[Lauren]

Well, he was not that happy. I mean, I don't Think he was like threatened that I was going with my friend, but I think he was like, you're gonna be super hungover for your formal that I'm coming out for. He was out of college and older, so yeah, I mean, he wasn't thrilled, but whatever it was, it was fine. And we, you know, fly there, get off the plane. By this point, it was like, seemed like maybe a good idea. And then by the time we got there, we were both like super tired and wondering why we agreed to this. But we go to the fancy Luxor Hotel, which I'm not sure if that's even still there anymore, but it was like that weird Pyramid hotel in Vegas.

[Daisy Kent]

Okay, I know what you're talking about.

[Lauren]

Yeah. And he went up to the check in and said that it was our honeymoon and that we needed to be upgraded to the honeymoon suite. And he just kept going back and forth with them. They're like, no, no, no, that's not what it was booked for. And he just kept saying, well, we're going to have a baby tonight. We're going to conceive a baby and it needs to be in the honeymoon suite. And I'm like, oh my God, I.

[Daisy Kent]

Just want to go to bed.

[Lauren]

So anyway, they gave us the honeymoon suite, which at the Luxor is nothing fancy, and it reeked of smoke.

[Daisy Kent]

And.

[Lauren]

We just went to bed. Like by that point, I don't even think we gambled if we did. I don't remember it.

[Daisy Kent]

Just flew to Vegas to sleep.

[Lauren]

Yeah, just like fly all the way there and go to sleep. We woke up super early, we reeked of smoke. I was in my clothes from the night before. And we just decided that we were ready to go home. So we literally probably got there at 1 in the morning. And I think we were on like a 7am flight. And so.

[Daisy Kent]

That's hilarious.

[Lauren]

I think all that came out of it was a good story. Yeah.

[Daisy Kent]

How were you for your formal then?

[Lauren]

I was hungover, but my boyfriend did come and he didn't get me a Chia Pet, so that was kind of a bummer. I was really hoping for two in one weekend. And yeah, that was kind of it. Like, it was super, you know, fun story. I don't know that if, like I felt great when I was doing it, but it was fun.

[Daisy Kent]

It's like one of those things where you're like, oh, this is so awesome. Like, this is great. And then you get there and you're like, wait, I want to be out.

[Lauren]

Why am I here? Why am I here. But yeah, I mean, I guess if 30 years later I can tell the story and it's a little fun, my daughter enjoyed hearing it, then I guess it was worth it.

[Daisy Kent]

It's crazy to think about, like airports, like back then, how you could just like walk in.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Daisy Kent]

And like, like you fully just had like a whole like fraternity party in the airport.

[Lauren]

Yeah. And I think you could just go up to the ticket counter and just buy a ticket right then and there or I don't know if they had already bought tickets and then they just put our names on them.

[Daisy Kent]

Oh, okay.

[Lauren]

Because they didn't know until they drew the name who was going.

[Daisy Kent]

That is crazy.

[Lauren]

We were the lucky winners.

[Daisy Kent]

I wonder if they still do that.

[Lauren]

I don't think so. I don't think so. I've never heard of anyone. And actually I asked a couple people today who went to Cal who are a little bit older. I'm like, did you guys ever go to an airport party? And they're like, I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Daisy Kent]

Honestly, someone should bring that back. But you just like draw the name at the fraternity and then that person and their date have to send it to Vegas for like 24 hours.

[Lauren]

I think it'd be great. So do you even. Do you know what a chia Pet is? Have you heard of those?

[Daisy Kent]

I don't even picturing like a stuffed animal. Like a weird stuffed animal.

[Lauren]

No, it's actually. I think it was like made of clay and they came in different shapes. I think this was like, I don't know, maybe a cow or a pig. And then you watered it it and.

[Daisy Kent]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lauren]

Green grass or grows out of it.

[Daisy Kent]

Okay, now I know what you're talking about.

[Lauren]

I bet you they still sell them. I don't think it was a common thing that they gave people for, you know, as date gifts, but I do think you could probably find one. It's like a Mr. Potato Head kind of, you know, like.

[Daisy Kent]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

It's timeless.

[Daisy Kent]

Well, did your Chia pet. Did it grow it. Its grass hair?

[Lauren]

I. I think it grew. I don't know how long I kept it. I feel like my room was really small and it was going to take up some much needed space.

[Daisy Kent]

I love that. Well, that is a great Vegas story. Thank you.

[Lauren]

You're welcome.
