A
Cause we're your girl hey.
B
Cause I like how you do. Hey, girl, how you doing?
A
I got a knock.
B
Tell me everything.
A
No, we gotta talk to our friends at home. Guys, we haven't read the book.
B
It's been a couple weeks.
A
It's been a couple weeks.
B
It's been about a month and a half. Hell.
A
What's the book called again?
B
The Game Plan by Kristin Callahan.
A
But listen, it's not canceled. And if you bought it. Thank you.
B
Keep reading.
A
I'm gonna read it. I'm gonna start it this week. I'm actually gonna start it as an audiobook on my way home.
B
You smarter than me? Cause I still gotta finish what I'm reading first. So I can't guarantee that I'll start it this week. By the end of the week, it will be started.
A
I think I rarely do a do not finish, but I decided on my drive in, I was like, I'm not gonna finish this. The book I'm reading right now is so uproariously bad. It's so bad.
B
Yeah.
A
It's so unfinishingly bad. I'm driving and as the audiobook goes, I'm like, shut up. I'm just. Get out. I fucking hate this book, y'.
B
All.
A
If anyone, I feel like it's a really well known book.
B
It is like, I'm telling you, I read this like a decade ago. Ish.
A
Yeah, yeah. Cause it was big when, like, fifty Shades had come out and we were all hungry for more.
B
I was gonna say, keep that in mind. When this came out, the market was ripe for these kind of terrible, trashy novels.
A
But I love. This is my thing. I love trashy novels.
B
Amen.
A
I actually love lots of trashy things. So. It's funny, sometimes I feel like I don't have credibility to say something's bad. Cause I like lots of not really well done things.
B
But I will say, I mean, the things that we like that still are pretty bad are decent.
A
Are decent. Well, I'm reading Gabriel's Inferno, which already my husband like. I was like. My husband walked in on part of it and he was like, this is the worst shit I've ever heard.
B
Is the narrator bad?
A
He's actually great.
B
Well, that's good.
A
The writing is actually pretty solid. It's just. I found out that I thought the writer this whole time was a woman. Just that I thought that it was a woman's name. Turns out, according to Goodreads, I can't confirm or deny this, but according to Goodreads, it was written by a man.
B
Under a woman's pseudonym, which makes complete and total sense. How fucking dare you infiltrate our safe space like this? I've never yelled at a man like this. Like this.
A
We were rooting for you.
B
We were all rooting for you. Helpful.
A
It makes sense the way the female character. I should have known halfway through the first book when the female character. I'm not even gonna get into it now. Makes some of the stupidest decisions I've ever heard. The main character, I love a grouchy alpha male all the time, but I draw the line as he can't be.
B
Like, verbally abusive or misogynistic.
A
Like, the one character, she's really shy and demure, which always. Also, she's described as, like, the tiniest person that's ever existed.
B
She's a hobbit.
A
She's so tiny. She doesn't eat. She's so delicate.
B
And her skin, she's made of glass.
A
She has paper skin and glass bones. And she's never spoken above a whisper in her whole life. Like, she even is like, how could someone as shy as me. I'm like, that's fine. I love a shy woman. I love a shy woman. But then she, like, keeps dropping things the whole five chapters. She keeps tripping and falling on her knees in front of this female confidence.
B
That's what pisses me off.
A
And she looks up at him through her impossibly long eyelashes and her big.
B
Doe eyes, I'm sure.
A
And he, at one point, because it makes him mad how much he wants her, was like, you're on your knees more than the common whore.
B
Oh, my God.
A
And she goes stammers, I'm sorry. I should have stopped the book.
B
That's when you should have finished.
A
I write myself into the book as a bystander, and I'm like, get out, you, sir.
B
Get up.
A
I should have known it was written by a man. Anyway, it's just awful. I just got to the second book. They got married. I don't know why. It's bad.
B
It's bad, it's bad, it's bad.
A
I'm actually sorry that I wasted any time in the podcast.
B
No, no, no, no. These are things we talk about. We talk about the books that we're reading. So I'm really hoping I'm Fighting Destiny.
A
What do you think?
B
I'm kidding. I mean, I am, but please keep going. What are you reading? Fighting Destiny, Another one that I read years ago that was an absolute favorite of mine.
A
I love that you reread.
B
I'm Big. Cause, you know, or I'm big on rereading because, you know, we all have our comfort movies and watches. I have my comfort books. And when I can't get out of a slump, I'm like, let me just read this for the 19th time in 10 years. So I'm rereading it but having a similar experience. It was so bad this first time. Like I read it's a six part series. So I started from the very beginning. Have not read the first book in about maybe six or seven years. Is it a romance? It is. It's actually very like. It's an early Fae romance. So back when this was still a very taboo genre to write in.
A
Shaymar.
B
It's really good.
A
It got my attention.
B
The books get better. I don't think there's six, I think there's four. The books get better as they go on. But I could not get myself through the first one. But I did it. Cause I knew that it was gonna get better. And I said, lord Jesus, we read filth. Absolute garbage. I mean, it's bad.
A
Yo, I was. Last night I watched. I did a movie marathon. I watched all the 50 Shades movies. And I. Mainly because Trace had been over the night before and reminded me we were just talking about these movies and she reminded me of just like we were talking about how much we love them and how bad they are.
B
How bad they are.
A
But I love them now. This is one thing I got to the part like I'm in. How can something be so bad but so good at the same time? Like I'm at that. I was at that scene in the first movie where she's all tied up. She's all scrumped up.
B
All scrumped up, tied up.
A
And he's got the.
B
The cane.
A
He's flagging her like a Franciscan monk. And she's like, ah.
B
I wonder if Dakota Johnson watches this back. Like, what the fuck?
A
I swear she does not watch it. And she's all scrumped up, tied up. And it's slow motion in that one. Ellie Goulding, you're alive. Ha ba za ha baza ba za ba za. I forgot in the first movie Beyonce wrote so like did some original music in it.
B
I have never seen Fifty Shades and as a ro. I know as a romance novel girl. What? Okay, I'll tell you my lore. My lore. These books came out when I. You may have been in high school at the point. When were you in high school when they came out like a freshman. Around the time.
A
Not Tiffany consistently aging Me on this show.
B
You're the same age as my brother Tiffany goes.
A
Cause I was in preschool.
B
I went to high school.
A
Were you a freshman in high school?
B
So you may have been much older.
A
You may have been working at the bars by then. I'm not sure.
B
I don't think I was around.
A
Yeah. When 50 Shades came came out, I remember it was a movement at West Seattle High School. I think I was a junior.
B
Were you?
A
Yeah. Okay, then I was after Twilight.
B
Yes. Yes, you were. So you're two years school years older than me. So this makes sense. I think I was in about 8th grade. Ish. 9th grade. Sorry, I'm really throwing you under the bus. My bad, my boy. Because I ain't even trying to do that. You know, I think of you and I as the same age. I think of us as peers.
A
I. I'm a bit long in the. Long in the tube.
B
We're about the same level.
A
If God sees fit to bring me to my 69th year, perhaps we'll make it when you're 40.
B
When I'm 40. I was gonna say when I'm 40. No. Okay. I'm trying to get the reference right. But the point is, I remember feeling like my time will come to read 50 Shades, but this was at the height of me being, like, reading adult smut. I definitely was still a young teenager reading smut at this time, but I would not touch 50 Shades. I would not do it.
A
That's probably for the best.
B
Probably for the best. But I was reading everything adjacent. Gabriel's Inferno, the fucking literally any contemporary novel at the time.
A
I remember 50 was like the first smut I felt. I felt like 50 Shades was the first smut that everybody admitted to reading.
B
Correct.
A
It was the first smut that people were, like, open about. SNL made skits about it. When the movie was coming out, it.
B
Was suddenly, it was a cultural movement for women to be like, yes, we are all reading and watching together. And I just was like, but I'm also. This is how I am. I hate trends, as you know. So if everyone's doing the same thing, I want no parts of it. But I took this one a little too far, so. So here I am 15 years later, have not read any of the books, have not seen the movies, but my nana, 50 Shades, the books have gone. If a book could go triple platinum.
A
In a household, your grandma in the South.
B
Nana is part my nana. We love you, Willa Dean. Nana is a part of every fandom imaginable. Ok. Dreamgirls, the lady know the whole script. Twilight. I think she has got you beat in the number of watches.
A
Me and Walmart, y'.
B
All.
A
We need to see, because y' all.
B
Would be best friends.
A
Willie D. Don't play WD. WD40. That's my girl. WD40.
B
That's your nickname.
A
Fernanda, we need to talk. I would like to see, because I think I can do the Twilight scripts, like, from memory. I can. On a plane. Raw Dog. Watch it behind my eyes.
B
I wish that Taylor and my sister was here to corroborate what I'm saying.
A
I believe you.
B
No, I know you do. But I can't properly communicate the way, like, the Obsession. I won't call it obsession. It's just that's her thing. Like, she watches the same thing over and over. Fifty Shades is a part of that. And I have managed to evade years of having this movie be on in the background. I lived with my grandparents for a time.
A
You're telling me that your grandma was casually watching 50 Shades, the movie while you were just puttering around?
B
I will call Anita, my mother right now, and be like, what's Nana watching right now? And it will likely be either 50 shades, one of them. One of the Twilight movies. Dream Girls or Dream Girls isn't as Crazy. Or Secret Life of Pets. Cause Nana likes that maybe, too. She has her little repertoire. Or one of the Jurassic Parks. The Planet of the Apes. She loves the series. I have managed to evade this movie all these years.
A
That is so funny.
B
So maybe one day I'll sit down and join y'. All. But as you're talking about this, I'm listening. But I have never seen it and have never read it.
A
Okay. I'm really happy you're saying this, actually, Tiffany, because when I was watching the second movie last night, I had this idea. Cause I'm out loud, talking to the dog, making myself laugh. Like, you have to watch these movies with a layer of. A layer of humor. And I'm laughing, and I started imagining what you would say if you were sitting next to me. And I was like, we should actually do a special episode where we sit and mic'd up, watch some of our either favorite movies or movies we haven't seen and just do commentary on them.
B
Let's do it.
A
Because there was a part where she's sitting there and he. So there's the song by Beyonce, Love's Got Me Looking Too Crazy.
B
Right? Oh, I forgot.
A
Yes.
B
She recorded that version.
A
And at one point, the music falls out, and it's like, no, and then the music comes crashing back in. It's like, love's got me.
B
Look. Cause he fucking.
A
He comes out of the darkness, whips.
B
Her, and she's like, oh.
A
And I just imagined you next to me, and I could hear your voice going, oh, Lord.
B
Oh, Lord. So now we have to do this.
A
I really want. I'm happy to hear you haven't seen it.
B
Not a single.
A
Now I know we need to actually mic you up and do a 50 Shades marathon special episode. I think it'll take like, three hours.
B
We'll do it.
A
The movies aren't that long. Each. They actually. They actually go pretty quickly.
B
Well, which one? If we get to one, because, you know, we got short attention spans. If there's one that we watch, which one would you say would be the one?
A
The second. Fifty Shades Darker. The second one is the best. I think the best cinematically.
B
Okay.
A
Personally, that's my opinion.
B
Okay, so. Oh.
A
But the last movies, when shit really pops off, there's 50 Shades Free, 50 Shades Freed.
B
I'll watch a bitch. I will do it.
A
The first movie is really just sets up the universe, but you don't need that. Since you're so familiar, you don't need to know much.
B
I feel like I know the universe. I just don't know. Like, I know the plot points. I just don't know how it all comes together.
A
You need to watch it fades darker.
B
Okay.
A
It's actually good. And whatever. I digress. I'm obviously trying to defend a movie that is generally, I know, not that great, but I love it.
B
But if there are 0 fans, you, trace and Nana are gone.
A
And Jamie Dornan has this. You know what I was thinking when I was watching this? I was like, bring back. No one smolders anymore. And I mean, Stefan Salvatore with his hands around your face in the rain, with his eyebrows that are so dark and furrowed, and he's looking into your eyes.
B
Anguish.
A
And a one Republic song is playing. Because they love one Republican Party or what?
B
The other one.
A
What's the other group?
B
They love the Fray.
A
The Fray.
B
Oh, they love the Fray.
A
How to Save a lovely.
B
The wet pieces of his hair are sticking to his face.
A
Oh, God.
B
Oh, Jesus.
A
The man with big hands with his face. Hands on your face. And it's raining.
B
Yes, Lord.
A
And you're listening to. You're listening to. What is that song? Which one?
B
Which one? Which one?
A
Hold on, I'm gonna find it. And I was listening to him. Gotta find it.
B
I was right there with you.
A
I literally. I'm gonna be mad.
B
You got it.
A
You got it. His name? Edwin McCain.
B
Oh, which one? Which one, Edwin?
A
You know, I love this. Everywhere I'm remembering it. Right, Albie, you crying shoulder. I'll be love suicide.
B
Oh, my God. Don't fucking play with me, bitch. Cause I love Edward McCain.
A
I didn't think.
B
You know it is bitch. If there's a white man singing a song.
A
You know, when I closed my eyes and I went. I could hear the beginning.
B
The strand in your eyes.
A
They cover them.
B
Wonderful.
A
Stop me and steal my brain. My hands are sweaty.
B
And you're my survival. You're my living truth, truth, truth, truth. My love is alive and not dead.
A
The way he says it.
B
Guilt.
A
But my favorite part is when he goes, tell me gone. We belong together. Truss it out in the crappies of Lil. We'll be captivated. Hang from your lips instead of the gallows.
B
It's every time I think we're done, I keep going.
A
Sorry.
B
It's okay.
A
I gotta stop.
B
I will find him when I get married and have him sing just that one song at the end.
A
Well, you know, he does fans funerals all the time. I've seen it on YouTube because a lot of people.
B
Sorry. Oh, my God.
A
No, he's actually a lovely. From what I've heard, he's a lovely person. Anyways, Edwin, I don't have anything to.
B
Say to you besides keep doing what you're doing.
A
Keep singing that song going. Oh, getting hot. Turtleneck. So anyways, that song.
B
Yeah.
A
Paired with rain. Paired with the man with big hands.
B
The wet hand sticking to his. Sticking to.
A
Sticking to your face and a ooh, ooh. And a clenched jaw. Oh, nobody writes smolder anymore.
B
They don't. That's a thing on the Internet. The girls are saying men don't yearn anymore. They don't yearn. There's no yearning.
A
There's no yearning.
B
What do they do? Send a mean little text and that's about it. I'm sorry.
A
I'm sorry.
B
That ain't enough.
A
That's not enough.
B
Stop it.
A
I need you running to the gate at the airport, getting almost arrested.
B
Absolutely.
A
As the plane pulls off. Tell me that we belong together. I trust it out with the trappings of the lyrics. I don't even know what he's fucking saying. That's how much he's yearning.
B
I had literally. I had to look up the lyrics.
A
He's yearning so fucking much. I don't even know what he's saying.
B
The subtitles. Yearning unintelligibly yeah, McCain in that song. I love that song also. I love that her brains are so matched. I knew I was gonna get it. I didn't know what the fuckin song was. And I said, I got her.
A
We're the same.
B
I got you.
A
Fuck. So the whole point of this was like. I need yearning back I need yearning back I need clenched jaws I need the rain coming down. Well, did you watch a Man in the Leather Jacket?
B
What's the one that the girls are obsessed with right now? What with the two brothers. It was the book. The Summer I Turned Pretty. Did you watch that? Are they yearning in that?
A
I haven't watched it. Have you watched it?
B
I haven't watched it.
A
Ana, have you seen it? Are they. Do you like it?
B
They're yearning. They're yearning. It's good. Season three. I'm a little tired.
A
You're tired? She's tired.
B
I can't believe they made it three seasons. My God.
A
All right.
B
You know, we should watch a little Bridgerton. They yearn in Bridgerton.
A
Bitch. I love Bridgerton. Don't get me started.
B
We could watch Bridgerton in the.
A
You know what I think? The Last Great Yearning. I liked this last season, but it wasn't at the yearning levels. I burn for you.
B
Which one was he? That was Lucian.
A
What's his name? The beautiful woman. Simone.
B
Oh my God.
A
Yes.
B
That's the season that I have. Okay. Cuz, you know, I'm also weird. I won't watch things until I feel like I'm ready. Haven't seen that season yet. The time has to come. But I've seen all the little quotes. And he's like, I hate you, but I love you at the same time. Basically.
A
I yearn. I could not go further away because I want to be inside you. Like, that's what he's basically saying.
B
Delicious.
A
That's my shaking orgasm.
B
I'm screaming.
A
Anyway, I. I don't care. I think the women are feral. I think the girls are. I'm feral. I'm feral. And I love my husband. And I'm. You know. You know what? Let me stop.
B
You should just pull some bullshit. Just so sometimes.
A
You know what I was thinking on the right end and I was listening to Edwin McCain. Yeah.
B
Aubie. Yep.
A
I thought I. It's about time. Me and my husband have not fought in at least three months.
B
You gotta cook something.
A
I have got to pick a fight. Leave so that he can come and get me.
B
It's time. It's like clockwork.
A
I know. I need the yearning that you Gotta bring yearning into your romance, into your love life. Or you just get bored.
B
Keep it alive. That could be a secret to marriage. Keep yearning alive.
A
Sometimes he's like, t, I can't wait to see you. I'm on my way home. I track his location. I wait till he gets off the exit. It's crazy. I immediately get all my shit, get in the car, go do something else. Cause then I'm like, I want him to get home and miss you. And then I pull up and I'm like, honey, I didn't even know you were gonna be home. Honey, you go, see, I missed. Then we can embrace. Where do you go for a drive?
B
You just drive around?
A
I just go for it. I listen to Edwin McCain. Oh, B. Can't wait to see my husband in five minutes.
B
And you could have just saw when he cried.
A
I get pulled over. Sorry, officer. I'm creating a sense of yearning in my marriage.
B
Oh, go on. He slaps the hood.
A
Go, go.
B
I watched that clip often. That is the funniest shit we've ever done.
A
Yeah, so anyways, the girlies are yearning.
B
They're yearning. It's yearning season, too. It's the fall. This is the time you need to be arm and arm locked in. The weather's changing. I don't remember if there's yearning in the game plan. We'll find out.
A
You don't know if there's yearning in the game. I hope there's some yearning.
B
I know that. I mean, there has to be a certain level of yearning, but I don't know if it's the level of yearning we're looking for.
A
I know we're looking for.
B
Maybe that's the thing. If y' all got recommendations for men yearning, please send them our way.
A
Yearning men. We need to make a playlist. Stop the yearn. Let's make a playlist called the Yearn. And the first song on there is I'll Be Also Iris Google Dolls. Was that even English?
B
Iris Goo Dolls. I have a playlist called Angsty 2000s Teen. And I bet that's Albie is the number one on the fucking playlist, bitch. Like, I. I'm gonna share this with the community.
A
You can never say never.
B
Yeah, it's another why we don't know. All right, so I'm gonna share this with the community. Y' all know I love to make a playlist. We've got the Yearning playlist lying on the floor.
A
Where? Where? Yeah, where? Where ya.
B
The song's so.
A
A little late. Yeah, it's so Confrontational.
B
It is.
A
You know what this is missing?
B
What?
A
I can't believe it's missing. It, bitch.
B
Say it.
A
You're offended. I am Ron Pope. A drop in the ocean is. It's not on there.
B
No. A drop in the ocean, a change in the weather. Just wishing that you and I might end up together. You sure? Keep scrolling. Keep scrolling.
A
It's not in there. Oh, drop in the ocean Changing on the world.
B
I'm shocked.
A
And Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse is not in here either.
B
No, it's not. But that's a different vibe. That's too poppy. That's too like that.
A
Fair enough. Fair enough.
B
This one's like angst.
A
Steven, shut up. So, yeah, it's the only one you're missing, babe.
B
This is full of angst.
A
But this is full of.
B
I'll add it. Give me my phone helper. Add this while I'm sitting here right now. Oh, not that. You said hanging by a moment and it's the top recommendation.
A
All I can think about right now is my girl WD40, watching soft porn while you guys are just watching Nana.
B
Does not give a rat's ass. I think we're all desensitized to it, too, at this point. They're so cute. But that's love. Like my grandparents, they're so cute, they.
A
Just take steps to their friends. I actually even get a little shy, like if I'm watching not with my girlfriend, but, like, if I was watching anything where a sex scene happens and you're sitting next to your mom, dad, brother.
B
Oh, my God. I can't.
A
I immediately. What's the worst about me is I think most people, when you're growing up or even now, you're sitting on the couch next to, let's say, your brother, dad. Like, the exact person you don't wanna be sitting next to getting one of those scenes. Absolutely Everyone else just, like, uncomfortably moves through it. I, of course, have to go. Oh, I have to bring it up. I'm like, this is crazy.
B
Why would they do that?
A
Why are they doing that? They didn't need to do all that. Oh, don't show his imprint. Oh, let me. Oh, I didn't. Yeah, I'm not looking at that. That's crazy.
B
You said, oh, I didn't know. Oh, I didn't.
A
You should probably just be quiet and move through it. But I find that I'm like, let me fill this space with talking. Yeah, I'll immediately, like, get on my phone, too, and be like, oh, it's gonna be Sunny tomorrow. Like, why do I have to? It's better if you just let it go.
B
Can I say how bad I am? See, I spoil every movie that I watch. I don't go into movies blind. I don't like not knowing what's gonna happen. You look up the ending, I look up the wik. So I find. And Wikipedia gives you the blow, blow by blow. The blow by blow of the plot. So you know when the sex scene is coming up, I leave.
A
You just bounce.
B
I don't watch sex scenes with my family. So I get up and I'm like, oh. And like, I'll go to the bathroom or I'll go get water or something so I don't have to sit through it.
A
Because sex. So it makes you uncomfortable too. You're like, oh, my God.
B
And I grew up in a super Christian house. I'd be like, ugh, this is weird.
A
But they skipped through it.
B
No, they didn't give a fuck. I was just weirdly sensitive about it because I knew also that no one knew I was reading my dirty romance novels. And I thought that that be what outed me. So I was like, I gotta get up. I gotta go.
A
There's a false feel about cheek, Young Tiffany, literally.
B
Why? Thank God I'm dark. But now it's like a bonding thing between my mom and I. Now I know that she also read the same novels, so I'm like, ah, shit. We was just all living in secrecy.
A
But when I watch it with Alec, my husband, that's a little different. That obviously is not uncomfortable for us, but we end up just joking through everything. And I'm like, wait, we have to take this seriously because we're rewatching. We're currently rewatching season one of Vampire Diaries.
B
It's the time of the year. It's our time of the year. Thank you.
A
Every fall, we start back from season one. It's our. Yeah. And we just find ourselves cackling through everything. And I'm like, don't ruin the scene for me. I actually really enjoy it. Okay. Let me find myself. I've got to find.
B
I can't lose.
A
I can't lose myself. Because I could go off on Vampire.
B
Diaries for way too long as we.
A
Do, because I don't know if everyone's.
B
Seen Vampire Diaries at this point. If you haven't seen Vampire Diaries, I don't know what to tell you, baby. Wait. I made notes because we haven't talked in so long about your sister, because.
A
I thought that was really sweet.
B
Yes, we can Talk about sissy, bruv.
A
I was actually going to ask about that. And I'm annoyed that Tracy.
B
I can't.
A
It's okay. I was gonna talk about it, and then she stole my thunder. And now it seems like I didn't think of it myself.
B
Darren.
A
No, I don't want to talk about it.
B
It's Tracy's.
A
Oh, I know. She's so sweet. Fucking Tracy's so nice. It's not even fun to mess around with Tracy. Cause she's so nice.
B
Oh.
A
We have this ongoing joke where she'll be like, australians are just, like, the nicest people ever. Our producer, Trace, she's Australian. Pardon, everyone. This crazy subject. Jump. We were in the studio talking about how frigging. I tried to tease Trace all the time, where I'm like, man, Trace, shut up. And she's like, I'm sorry.
B
You take it easy.
A
Why do you think would you ever. I would never talk to you like that. Seriously.
B
I want to know, though, who. Okay, before we get into my sister, I'm so curious. When you do jokes like that, who do you know in your life and you don't have to name names. Who matches you? Like, what is the response that you get that you're like, yeah, they f.
A
Got it you for sure. I'll be like, you dumb, stinky bitch. And then you'll turn around and be.
B
Like, shut up, clawfoot.
A
Help. Yeah, you for sure. That's funny. I would say, yeah, you for sure.
B
Or sometimes I'm just like, oh, you.
A
Had your sister in town. Do you feel like your sister is somebody? Do you guys do that humor with each other or not really?
B
Oh, absolutely, Taylor. Well, no, our humor is not like that. Our humor is.
A
She's so funny.
B
Taylor's so fucking funny. Like, I've been saying it all weekend. She is my original scene partner. Like, before, there was you and I, there was me and fucking Taylor.
A
Taylor's so good.
B
She's funny in a way that we are not. Like, she just is her fucking self.
A
I said to Taylor, I made a comment about Taco Bell, and Taylor, not hearing the first half of the conversation, came in and said, oh, really? She said, I recently visited that establishment. And then she went, I enjoyed their wares.
B
Their wares.
A
I enjoyed their wares. She is so funny.
B
I FaceTimed her yesterday when she landed and they were in the Taco Bell drive through, and she had the box in her lap, I was like, taylor. She said, and tell Taylor. I can't say it. Tell Taryn to Put me on.
A
And she showed me her box to talk about.
B
I was like, shut the fuck up.
A
I love Taylor. I wanted to spend more time with.
B
Her when she was here. I'm so sad you guys didn't, but it's okay. She's gonna come back again. This was like a very quick in and out, but it was so. It was great. I love her. My sister. So Taylor and I shared a room for the first 15 years of my life. So literally up until she went to college. And I think I forgot in adulthood the level of, like, understanding that brings in a person. Like, she. I slept and went to sleep, or woke up and went to bed next to her. I slept and went to sleep every day.
A
That was back during my coma season. We slept. We went to sleep.
B
We dreamt together for 15 years.
A
Wait, you guys under a.
B
There's a level of understanding that comes with that.
A
You were under a dark.
B
We were hypnotized for 15 years.
A
In a wood.
B
In a dark wood.
A
In a dark wood. You had to be released. I slept and I woke up.
B
It's like, Joe Biden. What's the thing that you say?
A
I'm a fly. I'm sorry, I hate to make a Biden joke.
B
No, I shouldn't have brought it up either, but it makes me laugh every day.
A
I'm like a flock.
B
God bless him.
A
Joe Biden, trying to get it together.
B
God bless.
A
I slept. I sleep. I'm a fly. I have a fly. Back in the day, we had presidents that their blunders were. It was relatively funny. Now it's scary.
B
And they were rare. Well, now.
A
Now it's just every day.
B
Blunder. That's a horrible blunder.
A
That's a horrible blunder. Now I open the news and it's like.
B
Like, blunder, blunder, blunder.
A
This day, open the news, and it's like, Trump accidentally dumps nuclear waste on orphanage, literally. And then everyone goes, that's the least bad thing this week.
B
And then we move on.
A
And then. Or no, what's worse is you say, oh, my God, can you believe he did this? And then a whole group of crazy people are like, you just checked that out of context.
B
Yes. Or they're like, well, what were the orphans doing? The back went the back.
A
I'm tired. I almost want to say, cut this out.
B
But this is the reality of the world that we live in. We are comedians. We make jokes about this shit.
A
Men aren't yearning. We have a carny for president foolment twice. It can't get fooled again.
B
Shit. Arrest me. Actually, don't, because they be coming.
A
Hey, if you arrest me, arrest her too. I don't want them by myself.
B
I'll go with her. Just for the bit. I'll go too.
A
I'll go with it. We shackled together, man. Shut up.
B
Come on. I end up in this situation too, because I ain't say nothing. Damn.
A
But anyway, we having your sister in town. You took her to clubbing. I'm sorry.
B
It's okay.
A
No, no, no. I want to talk about the fact that you are. You recently re. Realized I have to lock back in.
B
Okay.
A
Yeah. So you spent. So you spent your entire childhood with this person?
B
Yes. And then that person goes off to college, and it's this immediate cutoff of communication, of presence. And not to say we didn't talk when she went to college, but it's a stark difference from literally, hey, girl, how was school? And then you can talk eight hours until you fall asleep to, hey, girl, how was class this month? You know, like, there's a difference. But having her here, it was so cool because it was like old times. Like, we went to sleep laughing. We woke up laughing. We lived our lives together. I haven't. Like, it's different when your mom or a parent visits the city because you can take them to do the things that you do, but they can't necessarily live the life that you live. But my sister is my age.
A
Ish.
B
So we went clubbing. We went to dance class. Like, we. She met and did content with us, or she met you guys and did content with us. Like, it. I was so rejuvenated. Like, I cried all day after she left. I was so. But they were happy tears. Like, for the first time, it felt like New York is my home and I'm bringing my family to see my home, the home and the life that I've created and had.
A
Taylor never visited you before.
B
She did. So she visited when we had a tradition. When I first moved to the city, the first three years I lived here, she came and visited on my birthday. But this was when I was, like, working seven days a week in the restaurant, so didn't have time off from work, and I could only see her in the morning before I went to work and after my show.
A
So this was different.
B
Yes. Or when I was, like, a corporate employee and I had to beg for pto. And I was, like, working Monday, could hang with her on Tuesday, working Wednesday, could hang with a Thursday. Like, the weeks were different. But this is the first time that I've had Money.
A
Yeah.
B
Living on my own.
A
Yeah.
B
I have a life that's not my job or someone else working on someone else's job. Yeah. I wasn't burdened by, like, needing to pay my bills, like, for the first time. That's not a burden for me. So I can actually enjoy my free time and, like, enjoy it with the people when they come and visit. It was so restorative. Like, having her here was so restorative in a way that I did not. I didn't anticipate it at all. I just wasn't thinking about it. Like, I was going through my routine, and then she came here and she slowed me down. And Taylor lived. Like, my sister Taylor, she's a middle school teacher, so she teaches middle schoolers. And she's like. She's so fucking funny. Like, she's not the teacher to roast. And the kids like to roast middle school teachers. Obviously, Taylor be roasting them kids right back. But I say that to say she has this, like, level of wit and humor that I literally only encounter with you and I, or, like, our peers. And it's funny to see that people do obviously exist who are like this, but don't necessarily want to have careers as comedians, but they can still.
A
Oh, but she's so funny.
B
She's so naturally funny. I'm just like, I love my sister down. But beyond that, I say, saying that she's funny, then she has this level of understanding for people because she works with kids. So when I was feeling, like, stressed or I felt, like, upset about something, she's like, well, why would that upset you? I was like. And then I would tell her why it upset me, and she's like, well, could it be? And I couldn't get the words out. So she's like, well, could it be it's upsetting you because of X, Y, Z. And I'm like, you're damn right. That's exactly why that would upset me. So she helped me come into myself basically, not be so easily triggered by everything. Like, I experienced the world differently with my sister being here for three days in a way that I literally. I'm struggling to articulate to you guys right now. Cause I can't.
A
I don't think you're struggling. I totally understand what you're trying to say. It makes a lot of sense that your sister. I don't know what it's like to have a sister, but I think it is so cool that somebody that you've grown up with who has known you. She's probably one of the few people other than a parent who has seen you through every stage of your life, I mean, there's probably no one that knows you better.
B
Yeah.
A
I also feel like siblings, even beyond a childhood friend who should be cherished. Absolutely. A sister is somebody who was with you day in, day out, and has even seen you at your worst, at your not so proudest moments, and have been there for your proudest moments. So I just think that's so cool. Now, I've been told, though, that nobody fights like sisters. Girl, seeing you and Taylor together, I couldn't imagine you fighting. You don't seem like you ever do.
B
Every member of my family would laugh hearing that. Taylor and I, we were very close. Yes, because we spend so much time together, but we were complete opposites in terms of personality. I was a very dominant little sister. She and I fought like cats and dogs day in and day out. So I'm like, giving this romanticized idea of sisterhood. Please know, at the same time, Taylor and I were at odds constantly. Like, all the time. My family was concerned that we would not grow up to be friends because we fought so damn well.
A
Seeing you now, that's hard to imagine.
B
Yes. It's hard for me to, like, see us now because I forget that. No, it's hard for me to remember us in that way because I now see us how we are as adults and how precious that relationship is for the both of us. Yeah, bitch. Cats and lions.
A
Hell cats and lions.
B
Cats and lions.
A
Grasshoppers and dingle bobs.
B
All of them. Yeah. I told the story on the pod before we fought in the Walmart parking lot. That was the first and only time we've come to blows, and hopefully it never happens again.
A
Really?
B
She beat my ass. But, yeah, we used to fight. We used to fight, but, yeah, now we don't do that anymore. But you and I say this in our relationship, too. Like, fighting. To me, I think especially, like with reality television and ensemble shows with women, fighting sometimes can be a show of love. And they're like, well, if you can get through the fight, then you can be friends. But to me, that's not an energy that I want to cultivate in my relationships. Like, I don't want to be comfortable fighting with the people that I always.
A
Say that I love. There's no one I want to fight with less than Tiffany. I hate. I mean, not to. I don't think that everyone says that, though.
B
I'm not fun to fight.
A
You're not fun to fight me. I'm not.
B
I'M not. And I don't like to do it.
A
But it's not to say that you're, like, exceptionally cool or anything like that. I don't know. I just don't. I think we have so much fun together. So when we're not having fun, I'm like, where are the confetti girls?
B
Where's the fun?
A
I'm a fly. Why are we fighting? I hate to fight. And I think anyone would say they hate to fight with their best friend. I mean.
B
And I would say, you and I are sisters. More sisters. Like, we fight. I don't want to fight with my sister.
A
You know, I know you already got some shit, but I could use some. I found myself. Yeah. At a crossroads of sorts. Brothers. Fighting with my brothers is so different than fighting with a woman. Because I will say this. Like, with men, you can just be like, man, shut up. You are so dumb. And men will be like, you're right. Anyway, that was weird, you know? And, like, with women, it's like, we're gonna have to Talk for, like, 35 minutes about the fact that I use the word D, and that is so offensive. And I'm sorry. And I want you to understand.
B
And then with a sister that will come up in 15 years, that when you were 11, you called her dumb, and now she has a complex about it.
A
My brother, if you guys know, I have a YouTube channel called the Unlikely Country Woman, and I make it with my. Yay. And I make it. Thank you. I make it with my older brother Travis. And here's. I don't know if I should reel this, but I don't care. I will reveal it. People are really sweet in the comments. They're like, I love seeing Taryn, like, interact with your brother, because I interact with him quite a bit through the camera. Yeah. Y' all don't know. We fought the whole time. We. I mean, like.
B
Like how?
A
Just, like, I take a turn, and he's, like, holds on to the. If I turn too tight in my car, and he, like, grabs the thing, and he, like, makes a face, which I know is him judging my driving. I'm just like, how about you mind your fucking face? Because I'm driving, and I'm gonna do it this way.
B
And he's like.
A
And he's like, oh. I just. You know, I don't know if I'm gonna live through this drive, you know, or, like, I'll be talking to his girlfriend in the backseat. And I, like, missed my turn. And I was like, ah, crap. I missed My turn. And he's like, yeah, maybe you guys should do a little less talking, do a little more focusing.
B
Because he is really deadpan like that.
A
Yeah. I don't know. It's just like, brother sister things. But we're learning and growing. And I also think that we're learning and growing. You made a post about your sister coming, and you said something to the effect of, like, we love each other in the way that only sisters can. And I thought that was just so sweet. And that the way only women can. There's such an intimacy and understanding amongst sisters and women. Because when we get mad at each other, there is a level of understanding. Like, if you're telling me that we got into a disagreement because you were feeling a certain type of way, or maybe you were feeling insecure, I kind of. I can physically empathize with you where I'm like, oh, my gosh, I can really put myself in your shoes. I would never want to make you feel that way. I'm so sorry.
B
And then we mean that when we say it. Not saying men don't, but sometimes they just don't understand what the hell they're doing. Because they can understand it. Men understand.
A
But I think that, like, when I'm like, this made me insecure, sometimes the men in my life will be like, why?
B
Exactly. Yeah.
A
And I'm like, I don't know how to explain the deeper inner workings of.
B
My yearning and my. The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.
A
Who says this?
B
Patrick and spongebob.
A
Oh, great. Spongebob.
B
Quote, spongebob. So anyways, you at the club, girl.
A
You guys went to the club without me?
B
Missed you.
A
I want everyone to know that I saw that they were at the club. I wasn't there for a variety of reasons.
B
I wasn't valid reasons.
A
I had a fundraiser the night before, and I'm at that time in my life where two nights out in a row is a lot for me. So I didn't go to the club, and I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
B
No, you won't.
A
A time was had. I could tell it was a time.
B
It was a time. I was telling our other friend. Tati Taylor's the only person who I've met that matches our pantomime energy on the floor in the club. I think we've said it on here before. In any lounge club scenario where there is music, Taryn and I will likely be performing word for word every song that we know that comes on. I've only ever done that with you can now say, I've done it with Taylor, and I was not. This is the first time she and I have ever partied together, so I didn't know what to expect. It was hysterical.
A
I'm.
B
So now I'm saying we have to do it when she comes back. You gotta come out with us. I just. I feel really strongly about it.
A
I know the close at 3 what's the chances of you coming with me?
B
Why is my.
A
I know the club close at 3.
B
What'S the chances of you rolling with me?
A
Me back to the crib show you how I live let's get drunk and.
B
Forget what we get I'mma buy you a drink.
A
That was my yearning version I'm gonna take you home with me.
B
Money in the bank, shawty what you think?
A
Well, thanks for such a great conversation. This was all over the place. I don't even know what we're gonna name this episode because we talked about everything From Smolder, Edwin McCain Yearnin' Politics. Politics that was thrown in there.
B
Yeah. We could just call it the Reunion.
A
The Reunion. Cause we're back.
B
Cause we're back.
A
We're back and we're better than ever. And we're gonna be consistent. Uh huh. Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
Here we go. We gotta do a church announcement. Go ahead, Go ahead.
B
Bring me in. Sister Mary will not be outside this week for fish fry. I know, I know we all really look forward to it, but she has come down with gout, so she can't be standing there frying this fish for y' all in the parking lot. She got gout frying the fish.
A
We gotta help. Oh, my God.
B
We are taking up a collection. It's gouting a big toe so she can't stand and fry the fish. So we will be taking up a collection for Sister Shirley's gout. If you can, please do contribute something. We know y' all do miss the fish and the chicken out in the parking lot. So make sure if it's on your heart. If you can't donate, please do. Davarious is in the sanctuary today. He did just have his preschool graduation last weekend. I know a lot of y' all were able to make it, and we were thankful for that. But please, please make sure that next week he is back in children's church where he belongs. He can only stay for a week at a time. He is a hazard to some of the elder members of the congregation, and we just can't have these mishaps anymore. An update, since everyone has been asking Deacon Larry and Deacon Barry have made up after coming to blows in the parking lot a couple weeks ago. It was all a misunderstanding. Deacon Larry did think that Deacon Barry took one of his shoes after church. It did look like the shoe. I mean, what can I say? I could understand the misunderstanding. That's all we'll say. But they are fine. And they will be dual serving at the door at the end for handshakes. So if you can make it by then, please say hello. Devonte is back on drums this week. I think we're all less than impressed with the performance that he's given. He's working on it. He will be trying out for the band this week, so give him a pat on the back if you can. And lastly, we are continuing to read the book. The book is the game plan by Kristen Callahan. Now, we have not started the book, so we're gonna try our hardest to get it to you as soon as you can. But that don't mean y' all wait for us to start. You please do start. We need some leaders in the congregation. We can't be the ones to lead everything. My God.
A
Hot.
B
Forgive me. And lastly, y' all have a good week. Bye.
A
Bye. Well, this comes out on a Friday, so I hope you have a great weekend.
B
Enjoy your weekend, everybody.
A
We love you. And remember, we're your girls. Bye. Cause we're your girl?
B
Hey. Cause I like how you did?
