Tiffany complements this approach, discussing how genuine interactions can bypass the need to wait in long lines, a common tactic used by clubs to create a sense of exclusivity.

[A]

Cause we're your girl hey.

[B]

Cause I like how you do.

[A]

Hey, child how are you?

[B]

I'm good. How you, girl?

[A]

How was your week?

[B]

It was good. It's sitting in the roach costume. That's how we ended it. I think that speaks volumes to how the week went.

[A]

Absolutely. This is how I'm feeling this week. A little roach, like, my God. Finding. I recently found a roach in my apartment.

[B]

No, it's happened.

[A]

I can't even discuss it. I can't even talk about it.

[B]

Was it big?

[A]

Ran downstairs to my. My. I said, sir, the building needs to be sprayed. He goes, you. Are you keeping your trash under wrap? I said, yes, I am. So you need to come spray. He goes, this is New York. It happens sometime. No, I said, oh, my God. We're in this alone, so come back, so come up and spray. No, they did come up and spray, but he was like. But I was like, all right. But then, you know what happens when they spray your apartment? What is. Dead Cockroaches come out and die.

[B]

Hell, no.

[A]

They get poisoned. They come out. They die in the middle of the room, and then you just find their carcasses. It's horrific. It's like in Mulan, when they came up and they were like. And they came out of the ground like daisies.

[B]

Daisies. Well, at least you live with a man who isn't afraid to pick him up. I would be debilitated. Debilitated?

[A]

You were very afraid of bugs.

[B]

If I had rotation.

[A]

I know. I'm not even gonna play. Like, you're afraid of bugs. I, too, am afraid of bugs.

[B]

It's gotten better, though. Like, before, I would be immobile. Like, I would need to move out. Like I couldn't recover. Now, because I live alone, I can recover. I just got to do it. Kill it and keep it stepping. But that would end me. Roach, carcasses. Can't do it.

[A]

I can't. I could. A rat would. I would have to move.

[B]

And this is where we differ. Cause I'll befriend the rat, okay? Me and the rat are friends. We can live harmonious.

[A]

Okay, Chef Gusteau. Anyone can cook.

[B]

Anyone can cook. Anyone can live with a mouse.

[A]

I can't live without producers trying to stifle her laughter.

[B]

Tracy, you. Yeah, girl. Absolutely not. Now, you don't mind?

[A]

You don't mind rodents?

[B]

Hell, no.

[A]

I had a nightmare the other night, and this is so real. I had a nightmare the other night that there were thousands of guinea pigs in my apartment, and I was just putting them outside and every time I'd come back in, there were guinea pigs. Because I find guinea pigs to be so disturbing.

[B]

I love them. They're little, sweet.

[A]

I don't like it at all.

[B]

I love them. One of my mom's boyfriend's kids back in the day, they had two guinea pigs. They were named Quagmire and. What's the other Quagmire? Girl? I can't remember.

[A]

My girlfriend had a ferret named Gucci.

[B]

That is true. But she did have a ferret named Gucci. And Gucci was that girl or boy? I don't remember.

[A]

It doesn't matter. He did say, I think ferrets are cute. I think ferrets are cute. But anyway. Well, we are getting way too far off on the tangent.

[B]

Way off on topic.

[A]

Roaches are crazy work. But what's funny is when I was Miss New York, I was Miss New York, and I watched you in a pageant, a local that you competed in.

[B]

Okay, okay.

[A]

And I remember we were sitting. Now, the one thing you need to know about pageants is that they're always low budget, if any budget at all. Everything's done for free. You know, you got a big bronze still to get everybody in the room.

[B]

Very much on the low, low production.

[A]

So we went to a pageant, and we're sitting in the. And I'm sitting there, and I'm in a full evening gown and crown as Miss New York. And Tiffany is competing. And I'm really excited to. To see all the young women compete, but also my best friends competing. That's so exciting. And I was sitting there, and as they were calling the names, and Tiffany did win this pageant, so I was really happy to watch you win.

[B]

Thanks, my boy.

[A]

I'm sitting in the front row and I look down and a roach crawls over my heeled shoe as Miss New York.

[B]

I did not know this.

[A]

I went under my breath. I just stood up and everybody was like, oh, Miss New York standing up. And I went. And I was like, time for me to go get on stage. And I walked up. That's why I walked up on stage. And it wasn't time.

[B]

It wasn't.

[A]

The roach just crawled over my foot in this Manhattan theater.

[B]

Oh, that's disgusting. God, lose my mind.

[A]

There are roaches in here.

[B]

I would lose.

[A]

But I think. I mean, part of being in New York City, roaches and rats are just part of the culture. You just get used to them. You accept that they are part of being outside. I don't want them in my house. But I. I'M not shocked when I see them inside any establishment. Really.

[B]

That's fair. I was shocked. I will say the one thing that shocked me. I didn't tell you this. In Paris, when we were sitting at the last night I think we got.

[A]

Drinks, a mouse was in the restaurant.

[B]

Did you see that? Ran right under our table.

[A]

Oh, lady, sorry. A little story.

[B]

No, no, no. This was another place. This is another place, a different one. I didn't say anything to you because we were mid conversation. The rat or the mouse was going so fast, it rounded the corner and fell on its side. Because it was going so fast around the corner. I said, he went.

[A]

Went right by. You didn't tell me there was a mouse in the restaurant we were at.

[B]

I didn't. This. I don't remember the name of the place we were at. We had the yummy cocktails. But point being, before I could say anything, the conversation moved and I was like, well, like, I'm not sitting here.

[A]

Because whenever I've been in Paris, there's always a mouse around the restaurant. And the French. I remember we're at a restaurant and somebody was like, there's a mouse in here. And they're like freaking out. We're sitting there and Tiffany was like, oh, there's a mouse in here. Little rat is too wee. And then the guy comes out, he went. The French waiter comes out and he goes, hello. Sorry, guys.

[B]

He was so not moved, not concerned.

[A]

Sorry, guys. This is what happens when you sit down in the outsides. We were all like, we are inside.

[B]

I don't know, because we were inside.

[A]

We were in a sun room, girl.

[B]

Well, you know what they say. This is so off topic. And this is the last thing I'll say. Ratatouille was a ploy.

[A]

What for what?

[B]

They made the. The pause. What? What for what? They made the movie Ratatouille. I've heard this through the Disney grapevine. To excuse the rap problem in Paris.

[A]

Who's they?

[B]

The Disney beings, the people.

[A]

The dark Disney.

[B]

Dark Disney underbelly made ratatouille to make the rat. The cruises to make the rat problem excusable. Hell, it worked because I didn't balk when I saw the mountain.

[A]

No, I mean, rats and roaches are just part of that. How many times we've been leaving a club and you're just walking through New York and a garbage bag is moving and it's like, because there's rats inside the garbage.

[B]

And accurate sound.

[A]

One time. One time I was out with my girls, right? I'm in platform heels. Little tiny cocktail dress. I'm falling out of the top because I always like my breasts to look like yeast baking around twine.

[B]

That's true.

[A]

When I'm in any dress, I love to have a big bodacious.

[B]

A big bodacious bosom.

[A]

Love big titties.

[B]

Why did you look at the camera?

[A]

Because I want everybody to know.

[B]

Loves big titties.

[A]

I love them.

[B]

It's crazy.

[A]

I can't even believe I just said that on podcast. Obviously, I've been drinking. I don't care. I love boobs. I think they're great.

[B]

You do, though. I think it's so great you're out.

[A]

I was walking down the street.

[B]

You got it.

[A]

And there was a bag moving. And it was a rat. He'd always been caught in the bag because it was tied up at the top. And the garbage truck was coming. We had seen it a block away. The dudes. And here's what happened in New York. I don't know if you know about this. The trash is out on the street. The garbage guys get out, they pick up the bags and they whirl them over their heads into the truck. They jump back on.

[B]

Let's go.

[A]

They drive out, zooming. It's crazy.

[B]

It is.

[A]

And I knew this rat was gonna get thrown into a garbage truck and crushed. And there was just part of me that was like, I can't leave my boy. So I said to my girl, I said, janet, give me your keys. She was like, what are you talking about? I just met her. We would never hang out again after this. I took her keys. I ran over to the bag and I cut it open.

[B]

Crow.

[A]

I said, run. I ran away. Rat came exploding out of this bag.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

It was like Alien versus Predator. He came out of the body, girl. The body fell backwards. I was like, kill me. I freed you. Please.

[B]

Your roach ear is under the lamb. Please, I'm trying to save you. So the roach gets away.

[A]

It was a rat.

[B]

That too. The rat gets away.

[A]

And possibly other roaches.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Anyways, I freed him. I couldn't. I couldn't bear to see him throwing.

[B]

And then when the garbage man flung.

[A]

The bag, I didn't cut a huge one. It just enough for him to be free.

[B]

Well, you remember my old apartment was I used to live on the Upper west side not far from where you live now. You still live on the Upper west side was a first floor apartment. The first time Taryn comes over to visit, I give the preface as we enter the door. Just so you know, it's loud in here.

[A]

I said I thought she meant the street, like cars.

[B]

I said that, too. But I live right above the trash can in.

[A]

Which means that there was an entire small metropolitan city.

[B]

When I tell you this was beyond an infestation. It sounded like west side Story underneath my window every single night.

[A]

Maria.

[B]

This is Maria. Maria. I want to be in America like crazy. I knew that I had gotten used to living in New York City when I stopped listening to the rats. Like, it just did not bother me. It only became a thing when people visited. And then I had to explain rats.

[A]

Live under my window. That they had little meetings and stuff. And so I remember when we would be laying in bed.

[B]

Kiki. And laughing.

[A]

And then there'd be this crash. And she goes, oh, girl, the rat's just fine.

[B]

Girl. That's fine. Don't mind them. Insanity.

[A]

Annie. We'd have little meetings. We have to get into going out.

[B]

Let's talk about it.

[A]

Rats are an important part of going out in New York City. That was the point of that segue. And it wasn't supposed to be that long, but I could literally talk about rats and cockroaches all day.

[B]

We're very excited to talk to you guys about one of our favorite topics, going out in New York City. We've done our fair share of it. We do it frequently. Differently.

[A]

Differently now than how we used to.

[B]

For sure.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because one of our first little hangouts. I think we actually went out. Out.

[A]

Good job. We went, girl. We went to town with a group of models.

[B]

We did. That's not even what I was thinking was.

[A]

Which is a rite of passage.

[B]

It's true.

[A]

I mean, if you're a young 20 something in New York City to go with a promoter and a group of models. Towel.

[B]

To the biggest table in the room with Buddha hovering over. You made it. You have made it.

[A]

Two sourface girls at coat check staring you down as you hand them your Kmart purchased puffer.

[B]

Your big puffer.

[A]

And you go, here's there. Do we have to pay it all for code check? No, it's fine. All right. Thanks so much. If you guys have Venmo, I'll tip. No, go away. All right, I'll see you later then.

[B]

You taught her down.

[A]

Cool. What's he doing here?

[B]

Is that grunk? Then you totter down the staircase. And your little heels.

[A]

Oh, God.

[B]

And our bad dresses. I have a picture from the night.

[A]

You never look bad. You never look bad. First of all, let's Roll back. You never had a. I had a bad dress on. I had a bad dress on.

[B]

I had a picture.

[A]

Oh, I didn't look at that. I mean, at the time, I thought I looked fire. I can do better now, but that's only because I've had a lot more work done.

[B]

Give yourself some damn credit. I feel like I really didn't get fine until I was, like, 24, 25.

[A]

And frankly, it has nothing to do with Botox, filler, all that stuff. It has more to do with when I was 22, 23, I think I thought I was like, wow, I'm in my, like, grown woman era. No, I truly don't think that I came into, like, my. Grew into my face until after I was 25, certainly. Absolutely.

[B]

This is the finest I've ever been. But being a black woman, we're only going to get finer, which is so exciting.

[A]

Like, we love that.

[B]

Woe to all who will encounter us on the street in seven years. Are you kidding?

[A]

You better watch out.

[B]

Good luck.

[A]

I'm 78. You're not gonna have a chance, master.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

Yeah. And then, like, you know, one thing that you start doing when you start going out a lot in New York is you make friends. I mean, I'm some. I make friends with all the bouncers. I'm always friends with all my bouncers. And a lot of bouncers work multiple locations. So if you know one and he's in that area, you know, I think it's a smart thing to do. You end up making lots of friends with various bartenders, and there's never a.

[B]

Door that you meet that you can't get into. This is my. This is going to sound very pretentious, but I'm just going to say it. I don't wait in lines. Never have, never will.

[A]

I didn't know you were gonna say that to them. Oh, I'm saying we're just two roaches.

[B]

But I'm not saying it because we're particularly attractive or fine or whatever. We befriend bouncers.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't walk up to the door expecting to get in. I walk up like, not a clown, but I'm like, hey, how's it going? And that works better than like, hi, how's it going? Like, yeah, I need to be in here.

[A]

Yeah. Don't come up. Don't show up with sort of. I think some people show up in this sort of odd or timid way because it's an intimidating thing to walk into a New York City club or.

[B]

For sure, for sure.

[A]

But frankly, over time, as you start to sort of make these connections, you realize the moment we get to any spot, we're going to know somebody.

[B]

Somebody you're going to know out the door. And the longer you go out, the more you go out. You will know with someone eventually and just be nice. And then it just becomes friends. I'll never forget Tati and I went out one night and we. This is the key or the gag. Never go out with intentions of having a good time. And this is the one night that I feel like we went out with a good intention and we actually had a good time. And I had never been to Acme. So Tati, she loves Acme. So she's like, let's go to Acme. Let's get dressed up. We'll have a good time. We'll do the whole thing. So we take a cab. It's super late at this point. It's already like 1 1am Lord, the party's just beginning at Acme at 1am.

[A]

Though, keep in mind, truly, that's New York, babe.

[B]

I didn't know this, but I was like, all right, we'll do it. Why not?

[A]

I have a girlfriend that always is consistently like, you want to get dinner? I'll make a resident. 12:30 after midnight. I'm like, ma'am, I'm slim.

[B]

You're like your third REM cycle.

[A]

I know. 11:30, the fog has already enraptured the graveyard.

[B]

The girls asleep. But we used to be. I used to be a late diner. Like, that used to be my jam.

[A]

I know.

[B]

Reservation.

[A]

So you go out.

[B]

So we make it to the door at Acme. Tati has already prepped me that this is a tough door, don't have expectations of getting in. And if we do get in, we'll have had to have waited in line like 45 minutes.

[A]

Oh, that's crazy.

[B]

So true to fashion.

[A]

I don't believe. For the record, I don't believe any place is worth a 40 minute wait.

[B]

Unless Beyonce's in the room. Now.

[A]

I shan't not do that. Absolutely. And I will tell you, every time we've shown up, somebody and somewhere, and they're like, oh, well, there's a line. The moment I turned to Tiffany, and I'm like, all right, well, we're going to the next spot. They're like, wait, wait. Well, it's like, you guys can go, okay, okay. Yeah, they. A lot of times, a lot of places will try to create the FOMO effect by creating a line outside the door.

[B]

So it looks like it's like an air. They want the air of desperation to be heavy.

[A]

And I just want to have a nice drink with my friends. I don't need to be anywhere to be. I. I don't. I'm not into that whole be seen scene. I want to have a nice drink and listen to some Ja rule. Leave me alone.

[B]

Every now and again, I like to be seen. But for the most part now, I do not want to go out and wait in a line. So where we show up in this line is thick girls in puffers for miles. And I'm like, oh, we're not doing.

[A]

This to see the wit. The wizard.

[B]

Crazy to see the wizard. And this tiny man is working the door. And I think he's known to work the door at acne. I don't know this guy. Nonetheless, he's working the door. He's 4 foot 11 max. And I'm like, this is the gatekeeper. So we get out of our cab. That wasn't nice. I'm sorry. We get out of our cab, and he takes one look at Tati and I, and he goes, you two. And Tati looks at me and it's like. And I'm like, walk in. Look cool, look cool. Hold together.

[A]

Hold together.

[B]

Like, best night of our mother freaking lives. It was so much fun. And I cannot ever imagine going back to Acme ever, waiting in that line. It won't be me.

[A]

Absolutely not.

[B]

No. And I've heard that man doesn't work there anymore. Hope he's well. But that was his door for, like, years.

[A]

The legendary gatekeeper of Acmeen favored you at night.

[B]

He sure did. That was nice of him.

[A]

Yeah. It's an interesting thing. Do you remember the night that I was wearing that little tiny black dress that absolutely I put on? And I was like, this doesn't really fit me quite right anymore, but I'm gonna wear it. The little, tiny black dress. And we went to judge that Halloween competition always at the club.

[B]

We'll never forget it. Cause I wasn't even supposed to be there. Like, I pulled in at the last minute.

[A]

You got pulled in at the last minute.

[B]

Said, I wouldn't miss this for the world.

[A]

I said, let's go judge a Halloween costume contest. The way this night, like, let me start here. We looked good. We looked cute. And this was a great little dress on me. I just had to be careful to not move too quickly.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because it was a precarious dress. But it doesn't mean it was bad.

[B]

It Was cute. You look good.

[A]

It was a moment.

[B]

I had just cut my hair into a bob.

[A]

And we get to the club, and it's totally packed, but we're like guests of honor because we're judging. I was judging as a former Miss New York. And we just told him Tiffany was a former Miss New York, and they rock with it. They worked good enough for me. So she was a pageant girl. It's good enough. So we go in and we're. We. Because the cloud is. The club is so crowded and it's small that we're standing on top of a.

[B]

A table.

[A]

A banquet.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

A bench.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So we're actually standing on top of a bench. We're kind of perched on it and like this. Tiffany. Yeah, on top of the couch. And Tiffany goes, girl, let me get pictures of you. And she jumps off the bench, and she's taking photos of me from down below. And I'm posing. You took the photos? Click, click, click, Bow. I'm posing. I'm giving it all. If Tyra had been in the room, she would have been gagged. She would have known what to say.

[B]

Precisely.

[A]

And Tiffany goes, girl, you. And by the way, Tiffany's egging me.

[B]

On, hyping the fuck up. Sorry. I cursed hyping it up. But she looked good. I mean, you looked great.

[A]

Thanks. And then you showed me the photo, and I said, delete those. I want to go home.

[B]

Tell them why.

[A]

In the photos, you could see my tampon string hanging out down between my legs.

[B]

And the dress was black.

[A]

Too short.

[B]

The cavern between your legs was black.

[A]

That was the most dehumanizing and horrific experience of my twenties.

[B]

And the only thing you could see in this black cavern was the white.

[A]

It was crazy. How dare you call between my legs a black cavern? But you're right. That is what it looked like. We wet our. I wet myself laughing at that.

[B]

That's great.

[A]

Tiffany goes, why didn't you wear panties with this dress? And I like. You know, I don't own underwear.

[B]

It does not. Absolutely.

[A]

I don't care. They make you have UTIs. Fair. And you know how I feel about UTIs. We've already been over there. Anyways, that night was crazy.

[B]

It was crazy. So then we go upstairs.

[A]

I get over my. I tuck my string.

[B]

That was how we got out of that.

[A]

I think it was just a long tamp. I think my body was rejecting the tamp. Anyways, that happened. Moving on. I hope that if you're squeamish or this is upsetting you, I Understand? And you don't have to watch show anymore. But this is what we talk about on the couch.

[B]

It was real.

[A]

So anyways, we go upstairs to judge's Halloween costume competition.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it was a hoot. It was a holler.

[B]

It was so messy.

[A]

This night was wild. People were everywhere. Lights flashing, people. I mean, it was packed to the gill.

[B]

Crowd is thick.

[A]

And everyone in all these various costumes, which is so fun. Halloween in New York City is so fun. If you ever want to know when to come to New York for a good time out. Halloween's actually quite fun. And it's also warm. It's still summertime warm in. In. In October in New York. So it's a lovely time to come and party in New York if you want to come.

[B]

That's a good point.

[A]

But we're out there right now, me and Tiffany. There was only one other judge.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

So we do. The way the costume competition works is we basically thumbs up, some thumbs down, gladiator style, the costumes and who's making it through to the next round.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And there's great costumes out there. And there was this one gal, and she was stunning. And she actually did look just like Megan Fox. And she was dressed in the Megan Fox's cheerleader costume from Megan's body.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

If you're watching this now, Queen, which I doubt you are, you are absolutely fine as hell. You look great.

[B]

The prototype, if you will.

[A]

And of course, everyone, all the men in the room were like. Every time she came on stage, raucously, like.

[B]

They were like hyenas crazy.

[A]

And I understood why. But unfortunately for her, our eyes had already. Our eyes had already been caught.

[B]

We knew who our winner was from the.

[A]

From the moment the competition started. We were going to rig it so these two would win.

[B]

And did we ever.

[A]

We did tell them who it was.

[B]

It was none other than the hamburglar and Ronald McDonald. Those two came out and we whispered immediately, it's them.

[A]

It was two girlfriends, drunk as all hell. I think they entered the competition on accident. Wobbly Hamburglar was painted head to toe in purple. That's really good burglar thing on.

[B]

She had the striped shirt.

[A]

She could barely hold up and she kept going.

[B]

Yes. Every time she got up, she would get up.

[A]

They did a little. They did a little routine together.

[B]

You're so right.

[A]

Ronald Medall and her would do a little dance together and she pretended to, like, steal from her and then be like, man burglar. No.

[B]

It makes it funnier, though, that the stage was this big. It Was itty bitty pillow. So they're up there rolling itty bitty.

[A]

Amongst all of the sexy costumes. Hamburglar and Ronald McDonald were in it to win it.

[B]

And there was nary an ounce of skin showing on these girls either. They were covered head to toe. Rocking this room.

[A]

Costume design on 20 insanity. Long story short, we get to the last round and it's between Hamburglar, Ronald and Megan's body. Megan's body comes up and of course, as always, I'm not gonna deny she looks amazing. She looks super hot. And she does her little poses on stage and does the pretend. She pretends to like do the lighter under her tongue, which was really cool. Everyone's hollering, hootin'and. I'm like, listen baby, you're not walking outta here empty handed. First runner up is still gonna get a prize. Who are you telling? But we had to give the crown to none other than hamburglar and Ronald McDonald. Right?

[B]

It's true.

[A]

Night comes to a close. We're leaving the club. Me and Tiffany, we're a little to psy. If you will.

[B]

If you will.

[A]

That was my dog. We're coming out of the club and what do we see?

[B]

We see a stack pile of trash on the street. On the street. Who's in it? None other than the damn Hamburglar laid out.

[A]

And Ronald was trying to help her out. She was trying to get her because they had called an Uber and the Uber was here to get em. And Hamburger was taking a nap in.

[B]

The trash laid out. And this girl Rhonda struggling to look for her.

[A]

And mind you, me and Tiffany in her itty bit of little skank dresses. Love it. Well, I'm in my little skank dress.

[B]

I was in a see through outfit.

[A]

You and I turned to Tiffany and I'm like, we've got to help our hamburglar and Ronald McDonald.

[B]

We.

[A]

I, I cut my leg climbing over trash. I cut my leg because I climbed between trash and a semi truck to get to them and I climbed over the trash and I said, hey girl, are you okay? And Ronald McDonald's a little too drunk to, to function too, but she's at least still standing. And I said, don't worry. When we heft up Hamburglar, keep in.

[B]

Mind we are not sober also, so this is no easy feat for anybody involved.

[A]

Hamburglar goes, wait, my phone. And Tiffany goes, I gotcha. And she Tiffany, dive truck, dive.

[B]

This is no smile or small mound of trash. Like I need you to paint the picture clearly. It's a big ass pile of black trash bags.

[A]

It was huge. Huge.

[B]

So we find this girl's phone after Taryn throws her in the back of this Uber. Ronald McDonald.

[A]

I've gently placed her.

[B]

It was a gentle place. We. Ronald McDonald thanks us profusely for help.

[A]

Thank you so much. I said, babe, don't. If you're watching this now. No shame. It was great.

[B]

None, girl. We tell this story with pride. This was a great night for all.

[A]

Glad you all had fun and you got home safely.

[B]

And I hope you used your gift card. That was their prize. I think it was a gift card.

[A]

And so as we get them into the Uber, Tiffany goes, found it. She. You take a piece of lettuce off the side of the phone.

[B]

Disgusting.

[A]

And you're like, here you go. We get them in their Uber, and they send them off. And me and Tiffany are standing, staring at each other. Her in a completely sheer dress. Me and my little, tiny. My little tiny black tampon dress.

[B]

Tampon dress.

[A]

My leg is bleeding, and we're standing in a pile of trash. And I was like, well, top night.

[B]

And we headed off, hailed calves, and dipped. That is New York. What Similar. Taryn and I often find ourselves, at least when we're out in situations where we're rescuing women. This is not our first time where.

[A]

We have been in so many of.

[B]

So many of these stories.

[A]

Why? Because we are. We're always looking. We're alert for it.

[B]

I. Is that it? I feel like they just find us.

[A]

You think so? I think I. I'm like. I'm always. I'm on high alert. I want to make sure everybody's okay.

[B]

I definitely am not, but I'm like, hell, we're in it to win it now. Like, the moment that we recognize, we snap into that. We need Captain leave them.

[A]

Oh, I know. To win it, absolutely. And I. We can't. There's no negotiation. I do love that I can look at you across the room and be like, we're stepping in, right?

[B]

We know what's going on, and we launch into action.

[A]

What's your perfect night out?

[B]

I think we're very similar in this, in that we both like to dance. Like, I could look like I'm dressed in rags, but if the music is good, if the DJ is happy, I don't have to have alcohol. I don't have to be with people. I like break.

[A]

You could strap me to a gurney and gag me, and I'll still be on there.

[B]

Like this one Weekend at Bernie's.

[A]

A good song is on. You can't stop me from dancing. Yeah, I love to dance.

[B]

I love getting sweaty in a club. I love, love, love walking out four hours later. I don't know what time it is. I barely got my purse. I can't feel my feet because I don't danced them off two hours ago.

[A]

And I think the biggest change now between going out now and going out when I was much younger, when I was 21 or 22, I would go out with. With folks, with people that do go out to be seen, not necessarily to dance or have fun. Like, to them, what is fun is being seen and looking good.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I, I. That's fun. For about the first 10 minutes. Walking into the room and being like, yeah, I feel like I look good and I feel beautiful.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

That's fun. Don't get me wrong. But it all goes out the window when the Thong song comes on, which.

[B]

We are known to request.

[A]

We have to pantomime the strings. I have to get in there. Something comes over me. I don't know what it is.

[B]

It's the spirit of that box of bleach that Cisco used to bleach his hair, because that's what held that group down.

[A]

And this. The Claire's piercing in his nose. God bless him. I don't know what it is, but I just. And I think the difference is now that I'm older, I'm. When I was younger, I used to kind of apologize for being the friend that's. I want to dance, I want to have fun, and I kind of let looking good go out the window. I wasn't there. Was. You kind of lose. I don't know if you. Yeah, I think it's like when you were 21 or 22, the male gaze is really important to you. It was. Let me not make a generalization. I found that it was very important to me, and it lessened how much fun I could have. Now I'm 28, and I've just grown up a lot more, and I'm married, and that has shifted. And I. And I'm not dancing for the male gaze. I'm. I am dancing to have fun and let it all out. And it is so fun, and it's so freeing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I would like that. I can't speak for other women, but I can speak to my hypothetical and future daughter. That's how I want her to go out. I want her to live her life on the dance floor, having fun, moving her body, not worrying about if it looks good or if it even makes sense.

[B]

Yeah. I want her to do the shopping cart, the sprinkler. I talk about this with Tati a lot because she and I, that was one way that we became. Tati is one of our mutual, very good friends. And she and I used to live together, and we would always go to Ethel's. I think we've already talked about Ethel's, but we'd always go to Ethel's. And when we first started to go to Epil, she's like, I love going with you because you don't dance. Like, you don't dance on me. You never touch me when we dance. And I was like, hell, no.

[A]

No, I'm going out today. I yank you around.

[B]

No, no, no. Not you do. Taryn will have her hands around my neck, choking me.

[A]

I'll be like, it's the Lady Marmalade. When it's in the Aguilera goes, huh, huh.

[B]

I know to turn around because I'm about to get humped.

[A]

I'm about to viciously. Yeah. It's like, I will pick Tiffany up and throw her across the dance floor if it makes sense in the song.

[B]

It's not a lie. She has gone out in the past with women who prioritize, like, the sexualization of dancing on each other for men to watch rather than just going and losing yourself in the music for five hours. And she was like, it's so cool that you do that. And I'm like, it never. It never occurred to me, ever. Even when I started going out. I've never been one to do that about. I don't know. I've just never been into that vibe. So to your point, the freedom that comes with just going out and dancing. Nothing.

[A]

But also, Tiffany, you love, like, you love music on a really deep level. Like, you love, you know, people's full discographies. You know, the history a song can come on. And Tiffany will know who this singer's father is because he's a prominent music producer that no one knows the name of, but he's important. Like, you love all that.

[B]

It's true.

[A]

And so you make me appreciate that more. But I just loved. I love. I love the dance floor. And you and I are going between dancing and laughing so hard because, like, moves we're pulling are just hilarious and ridiculous. That is just so. It's my favorite thing.

[B]

It's free. It's like being in a trance. I love, love, love it. Nothing compares to it, honestly. And we got to do that in Paris.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. We. Me and Tiffany recently went to Paris and We were on the dance floor.

[B]

Cutting a mother freaking robe.

[A]

I almost pulled a muscle doing the robot. I was out there, couldn't stop. It was like Stomp the Yard. We were in Paris. And here's a great thing about France. In France, they play all the throwbacks you wish clubs in America would play. But they're like too scared to play throwbacks because they want to keep it like relevant and cool.

[B]

I was pleasantly surprised.

[A]

France, they love American music. I'm just going to say. And I lived in. I have lived in France they really love. I heard the Black Eyed Peas more when I lived there than I had ever heard. Living in the States when they were relevant, that is.

[B]

So.

[A]

What was that?

[B]

What was that?

[A]

What was that? Get in contact with my lawyer. Huh? Well, I am. Well, I. Who anyways. Well, I am not.

[B]

Will you. What?

[A]

Will you what? Just kidding. Please don't get mad at me.

[B]

Will.

[A]

I am. I'm afraid of you.

[B]

Or at least the lawyers.

[A]

So they love American music in France. So when we were in Paris, we were on the floor dancing to Run it. Not that I.

[B]

Which was our dream.

[A]

Don't. Don't. Dunna.

[B]

Oh, it was Kiss. Kiss girl.

[A]

We were the opening bars of Kiss Kiss. We were in there having a fun.

[B]

You've reached Nappy Boy Radio or whatever.

[A]

It is you reach. Nappy boy radio. 5, 4, 3, 0. Yeah, we were in there bounding the 1. Stomp the yard style dance battle crazy. It's just so, so good. And I recognize that it's easier said than done to release your inhibition and. Hey, Natasha. And really just vibe on the dance floor. Because women have been so conditioned to perform for and live for the male gaze. Yeah, but I really, I promise you, if you can get into a space where you just do it and where you just have fun, I don't think you'll go back.

[B]

No, you won't. You will not go back. Music becomes more enjoyable, the club going out becomes more enjoyable, your friends become more enjoyable because you're not worried about what whoever you're trying to attract is thinking about. You're just having fun. Can't recommend it enough. Honestly.

[A]

Yeah, absolutely. And if you need a. A place to start, I would say nothing more than I love. There's nothing I love more than a gay bar.

[B]

Amen.

[A]

One of the best places to do it.

[B]

That is so true.

[A]

Because absolutely.

[B]

Lord knows they accept and hype or just go to any black establishment because black people will hype you up in a way you've never seen it. Don't matter what you look like. It don't matter how you dancing. You will attract a crowd. Just if you're having fun. I love that about going out in black place places.

[A]

Truly, I love that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I love going out with you. I love dancing with you. I love having fun with you. If you ever see us out in the streets, at the club, on the floor, challenge me to a dance battle. I dare you.

[B]

That was what?

[A]

Where were we?

[B]

Ms. New York. That is what we did the first time.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[B]

You already explained this, but yeah.

[A]

There was a dance party the night of the. Before the finals.

[B]

You tell it so well. It's so funny.

[A]

Me and Tiffany were on the dance floor fully with some of the most beautiful women in the state. And I pantomimed getting into a car. And I went like this. I beckoned Tiffany. We had just met hours before. And Tiffany knew right then and there that she had to pantomime getting to the passenger seat. She pretended to have trouble closing the door, closed it to the beat. And then we both looked backwards and reversed the car and reversed out of our parking spot.

[B]

A crowd of beautiful women.

[A]

The crowd went crazy. They'd never seen anything like it and neither had I.

[B]

It's crazy. That's a good question. Have you ever danced like that with anybody else? I know I have never experienced what we do with anybody else. That came as a complete and utter surprise to me.

[A]

I've gotta say, the only other person other than you that matches the energy.

[B]

This breaks my heart.

[A]

Gabby can get it down.

[B]

Okay. I'm unbroken.

[A]

Gabby can break it down. Gabby's my childhood best friend and she always matches the vibes.

[B]

Gabby's that girl. I've yet to go out.

[A]

No.

[B]

Yeah. Cause the night we went out with Gabbie, we didn't go dancing. Day dancing.

[A]

We didn't, but we went to get drinks. All that to be said. You're my girl. You're my ride. You're my die. All day long. I love my friends. I have wonderful friends. And so do you.

[B]

And we'd be cutting it up.

[A]

We're running out of time, folks. We could just keep talking about this all day.

[B]

All day long. All day long.

[A]

The point is, where's your favorite spots to go out? What's your perfect night out? Are you a dance club kind of girl? Are you a wine bar kind of girl? Or are you just the night in on the couch kind of girl? Because I'm all three.

[B]

Solidly all three. Are you out at 6? Back by 9:30? Are you out at 11:30? Back by 3:30? I've got questions. How do people still hang out? Like, is that even a thing? Do you have late nights still?

[A]

I don't know. Let us know. We love you so much. I hope you have a great weekend and great week.

[B]

I hope your bottle's empty.

[A]

But what are we talking about next week? Next week we're talking about jobs.

[B]

We're talking about work, girl. Triva. And with that, we bid you adieu. I hope you have a great week. We hope you have a great week.

[A]

We love you. And remember, we're your girls. Cause we're your girls. Hey.

Cause I like how you do.
