Ashley (:Good, wonderful. Sayonara.
Monica (:I like that we collectively just decide, we all don't like them.
Kelsie (:my gosh.
Nicole (:she's terrible. Yeah, no. And I actually, feel so, I'm so happy for them to have finally gotten rid of her because now nobody has to deal with her anymore. I'm sure everybody is as happy about this decision. Okay. Anyway. what's going on with y'all?
Ashley (:Yes.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Monica (:Yeah, another week, another bothersome list of things. What's bothering you guys this week?
Ashley (:What is going on?
I have my three this week. I'm prepared. Okay. the first thing is playgrounds with sand. Like all playgrounds with sand are so annoying. We went to a new playground. Yes. Yes. We went to a new playground today and it's not hot anymore. So that was fine, but it was sand and it's just so gross and it gets all over everything. And I just.
Nicole (:Ew.
Monica (:yes, yes.
but especially here in Arizona.
Mm-hmm.
Ashley (:don't understand why they still use sand and why there's so much like gross stuff in the sand.
Monica (:I, yes, exactly. I legit have an issue with it because of how easy it is for things to be hidden in there. The park by our old house, I regularly would find crap in the sand, like giant screwdrivers that somebody could step on. Yeah, found a giant screwdriver, glass, needles. I found needles in there. Yeah, it's a litter box. It's a giant litter box. Yeah, it's so gross.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm. Glass. Yep.
Nicole (:Yeah, glass.
Kelsie (:mean, poop, animals love to poop in sand.
Ashley (:Yeah.
Nicole (:Yeah.
Ashley (:Yes. Okay. That brings me to my second thing I'm bothered about. It's unrelated to the playground we went to today, but there's outdoor cats in my neighborhood and I don't like them. And I am a cat person. I love cats. I have a cat tattooed on me. I fucking hate outdoor cats because they come into our yard and they like shit places. And I just, like, I have these flowers out front.
Kelsie (:Yeah.
Nicole (:Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Kelsie (:We had a cat come into our yard last night and attack our cat, because our cat likes to hang out on the back deck. And a cat came in and attacked our cat. Trevor's like, the cat just got attacked. I'm like, what?
Nicole (:See, yeah.
Ashley (:Yeah, they're rabid. Yeah, they're uncontrolled and it's very annoying.
Nicole (:Yeah.
Monica (:Yikes.
Nicole (:Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Monica (:Mm-hmm.
Ashley (:I don't understand why people let their cats go outside. just, like, roam the neighborhood. Like, why is your cat in my yard?
Nicole (:It's one thing. Yeah, I was gonna say it's one thing. Yeah, one thing to have like the cat in your own yard or in your own space or whatever. But like, why are you letting the cat just be meandering around the whole neighborhood? That's like my neighbor's dogs. That's what I think, too. Like, yeah, my neighbor's dogs. They're not actually like my neighbor neighbor, but the people that actually are across the art like neighborhood road.
Ashley (:Ahem.
Also, it's very dangerous. They're dogs.
Nicole (:Because everybody over here has like larger properties, so I Can't actually like see their house from the road because it's set back, but I could see their their drive Their dogs like to go out onto the actual neighborhood road and chase all of the cars all of them and Every single morning I pull out from our dirt road onto the main neighborhood road and they chase my car every morning and I'm like you dumb fucks
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
god.
Nicole (:I'm gonna hit you or somebody else is gonna hit you.
Monica (:Wait, Nicole, how many animals chase your car? Because there's the geese.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
You
Nicole (:Just these three fuckers. the geese belong to my sister-in-law, so they're always around. They don't care. But just these three fucking dogs. No, it's truly just these three dogs that like to fucking chase my car and my own animals when they see me driving in. yeah, every morning, these three fucks. Barking at my tires, trying to bite my tires. I'm like, I'm gonna run over your face. It makes me so mad that I've like...
Monica (:Right, but like, but I feel like the list is growing.
Ashley (:You
Monica (:That would make me so anxious. Yeah.
Ashley (:Yeah, I'm shocked they haven't got run over.
Monica (:Yeah, that would make me so anxious.
Nicole (:I have literally
Kelsie (:Alright Ashley, you got a third one.
Ashley (:yeah, the last one I have, I'm very bothered by my phone storage limit. It's been like a problem for me in the last like three weeks. It just keeps on alerting me that it's almost full and I keep trying to delete pictures and stuff. And then it's like the next day it's full again. And I just like, what is everyone doing with their photos? I don't, I already pay the extra like couple bucks to Google to have extra Google like photo storage and still my Google photo storage is full and my phone storage is full.
Nicole (:Mm, I'm sorry.
Kelsie (:Mm.
Monica (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:It's never happy.
Ashley (:It's so annoying.
Nicole (:Wow.
Monica (:See, I didn't like using the Google, but I use the OneDrive now, and it gives me an option where it will sync everything there, and then I can delete all the duplicates off my phone, but I still see them on my phone, which is really nice. So if I need them again, I can like re-download it, but that's literally been the only thing that has saved my storage.
Ashley (:Mm.
Nicole (:That's nice.
Ashley (:Maybe I should do that because when you use the Google storage if you delete it from Google storage it deletes from your device as well Yeah
Monica (:Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, so that always gave me anxiety because I didn't want to delete it and have it be gone forever. But with OneDrive, you can still see it. It's just not technically on your device anymore. I'm sure Google probably has something like that too, but that's been the only thing for me.
Nicole (:It's like gone, gone.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Yeah, maybe I'll try that.
Yeah. That's it, that's my things. What about you guys?
Kelsie (:Yeah.
I can do this. I can do this, I think.
Monica (:It's been a week for you.
Kelsie (:Absolutely.
Ashley (:you
Kelsie (:Well, right now, one is that the Chiefs game is currently going on right now. And not that I don't love to be podcasting, but they're undefeated so far this season. And they're playing the Broncos and fucking Broncos, man. Right now they're losing, which is like not a big deal because the Chiefs, that's what they do is they lose and then they come back and win in the end. But it's the fourth quarter and it's a little bit of a nail biter and they're at home and you just.
Ashley (:Hmm.
gosh.
Kelsie (:First of all, we're not gonna lose our undefeated streak to the fucking Broncos, okay? That's all I'm gonna say about that. All right.
And then this week, I don't know if I can break this up into like two and three, but I'm just going to mush my two and three together. that has been that this week has been the trifecta of like everything. So my period was due at the like, I don't know when it was supposed to come anyways, but I had the pre PMS, you know, bullshit. So I was reading.
We've been reading the ACOTAR series and the third book is like ruins your life repeatedly. And so I think I finished that on election day, I believe. I was reading that on election day and I was sobbing, crying, upset. Okay. And then the election, it all finishes. We find out we have a new president.
Nicole (:Mm.
Monica (:Yeah. Emotional damage, emotional damage. yeah, you are not well.
Nicole (:That's how you know it's a good book.
Ashley (:You
Nicole (:I think so. I think so.
Kelsie (:I didn't love the results. And all of this to say is that it was all amplified by the fact that my period was due to start like the day after the election. Right. So I'm expecting my period. I I my name is the crier for a reason. OK. I was already emotionally unwell from the the fucking book. And then that happened. Anyways. I was like not OK just from.
Ashley (:Hahaha
Kelsie (:My period started, I couldn't stop crying, the stupid book, like, and then they were like, if you want to go ahead and read the next book, you don't have to wait for us, like you're having a tough time. The fucking next book is stupid.
Nicole (:hahahahah
Kelsie (:It wasn't even helpful.
Monica (:wasn't even satisfying.
Nicole (:It's literally right next to me. It's cute. It's cute. And that's all it is. It is literally the Christmas special holiday edition.
Monica (:It's the Christmas special!
Kelsie (:It's cute. It's fine.
But it's not a distraction. It's not a distraction. wait, I forgot, I forgot. I knew there was one more thing. Fucking Outer Banks. And I'm sure none of you watch it, and I can't spoil it, because Nicole might watch it. But Outer Banks, so anyways, ACOTAR ruined my life. The election, I didn't like. And then fucking Outer Banks literally gutted me, destroyed me, broke my heart, can't bring it back. was...
Monica (:No.
Nicole (:I am might.
Monica (:I think you just need to like go find a comfort read. Like one that's not gonna destroy you.
Kelsie (:And I'm gushing blood out. I'm just like, hemorrhaging right now.
Nicole (:She's so silly.
Kelsie (:So that's how I feel. Those are my like five things.
Ashley (:I can attest it was a rough week for you. You were very emotional in the chat.
Nicole (:Okay, Monica. It really was. Yes. Or she was just gone. She was gone. She was just gone. Literally. That's so funny. That's so funny.
Monica (:Yeah. Emotions were like, whoo. Yeah.
Kelsie (:Yeah, was. Yeah, I was very M.I.A. That's how you know. Yeah.
Ashley (:Yeah.
Monica (:Yeah, yeah, maybe MIA I need to process. It does. It really does. Yeah. So for me this week, I don't know. I mean, similar emotional roller coaster as Kelsey with the book. But I will say the biggest thing that has taken my attention for what's bothersome is what I discovered on TikTok last night.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Well, the MIA speaks volumes.
Nicole (:gosh.
Ashley (:You
Monica (:So, okay, so backstory. You know how sometimes like when you're on TikTok, you'll see somebody else's post and they're like referencing something else. And so then you're like, what are they talking about? Like, I need to now go down that rabbit hole and figure out what they're talking about, right? Okay, so I come across this random girl and like, it's just the writing on the screen and she's mentioning something. I'll tell you a second. And so it's not the image of it. And so I'm like, what is this? Okay, so I'm just.
Nicole (:Mm. Yes, happens to me all the time.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Monica (:I just, need to get your reaction. I just need to get your reaction. So go ahead, take out your phones. Cause I'm very curious if it's going to be the same thing that comes up on your TikTok search as mine. Yeah. Yeah.
Ashley (:I'm scared. Okay, okay, okay.
Nicole (:Okay.
Listeners, if you're also not driving, do it too. What are we doing? Are we going to TikTok?
Monica (:Yeah, go to TikTok and I'm really hoping it pulls up the same thing as what mine did. Are you guys, are you ready? Are you ready? Go ahead and just search gingerbread nails.
Nicole (:Well hurry up and tell me!
Ashley (:Ready?
Nicole (:No, stop it. I'm scared. it came right up is the first thing. no.
Ashley (:no. God, it came right up. It came right up. Okay. my God. What is this? No. Monica, no. my God. I'm gonna throw up.
Kelsie (:It was the first thing.
Monica (:Sounds harmless. Sounds harmless.
Kelsie (:I don't see anything.
Monica (:What?
Kelsie (:I don't know what's happening, I don't see anything. What the fuck.
Ashley (:I'm scared, I'm holding my phone so far away from me because I'm afraid.
Kelsie (:Mm.
Monica (:So what's even worse is that that's not what the girl was referencing. Apparently there was some filter about like, and that was like the code name and it was something like inappropriate that showed up on the filter. But now everybody's searching for it and that's what shows up.
Ashley (:UGH
Monica. Ma, no. You know what, I'd send you one, but I can't. I can't do it.
Kelsie (:I'm getting shown a lot of really cute gingerbread nails.
Monica (:Okay, just keep scrolling. Just keep scrolling, because they're disgusting. Nope, there it is.
Nicole (:I'm sending it to you. I'm sending it to you.
Ashley (:good, good, good, good. I have to get it.
Kelsie (:That looks like a fucking lobster growing off of that.
Nicole (:That's... that's...
Ashley (:I may never use TikTok again, I can't.
Nicole (:Excuse me? The bug. There was a bug. Bitch, there's a part two.
Ashley (:I have chills.
Monica (:I know.
Kelsie (:What is that? What is that?
Monica (:Just the most disgusting nails I've ever seen in my life is what it is. And feet! I-
Kelsie (:What is that?
Nicole (:Those are feet! Those are feet! Those are feet!
Ashley (:cut them off.
Kelsie (:No, I know that's feet! What the fuck are those tentacle looking things growing out of them?
Monica (:I'm praying, I'm praying that that is AI. Yes, so last night I'm like looking for like what's trending, know, doing some research for the podcast, right? And that's what I found and I'm still so bothered by it, I'm disgusted. I still have the image in my mind, it's like burned into my retinas. So that is one, two and three for me.
Ashley (:Get rid of them.
Nicole (:Mushrooms maybe? I hope... I hope...
Kelsie (:I don't know.
Ashley (:I can't.
Kelsie (:like a train wreck, I can't look away.
Nicole (:I hate you.
I actually kind of hate you right now. I hate that, and I hate you, and I'm just kidding. I don't want to be here anymore. I'm not telling anybody what that was.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I hate it too. That was gross.
Kelsie (:I hate it here.
Ashley (:Someone should tell the listeners what it was in case they aren't on TikTok, but I don't know how. I don't think I can ex- bleh.
Monica (:Okay, so if you didn't just go and search it, basically it's a bunch of videos and pictures of people having really disgusting, nasty nails with it. I don't even know what kind of fungus or disease is on them. It is the most disgusting, horrifying thing I've ever seen in my life.
Nicole (:Please do.
Ashley (:It's not even human.
Nicole (:It's a toenail.
Kelsie (:It's not like the- it's the- whatever you imagined just now when she explained that, times it times 10 million. Like so much worse than your imagination. Like one of them looked like an alien with like tentacles growing out of their freaking toenail crust.
Monica (:Yeah.
Nicole (:Y'all.
Ashley (:Yeah.
Nicole (:I'm gonna just, I'm gonna say the only thing that matters, a bug crawls out of one. So there, that's it. There's one where a bug crawls out of it. That's just.
Monica (:Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you think that you're gonna find, and what's worse about it is it's it's the holidays right now, right? So everybody's gonna be looking for their cute little Christmas-y nails, and they're gonna find that!
Kelsie (:Yeah.
Ashley (:I'm so glad I didn't see that.
Kelsie (:I
Ashley (:Who's doing that to people? How is this happening? Who's behind this? This is criminal.
Kelsie (:Listen, I did I did pedicures when I worked in the salon and there was this Person who came in And they owned a donut shop and they would always wear like boots like combat boots in like thick socks and they worked in like this greasy donut shop and I had to give them a pedicure and they

Ashley (:This could be the Halloween episode!
Nicole (:I have dealt with some scalp cheese.
It's not fun. It's disgusting. No.
Kelsie (:It like very rarely happens, I would say like it's a very rare occasion for the most part unless maybe maybe if you work in like a know a fast pace you know I don't want to like knock on any sort of salon but like a chain salon where it's just you know people coming in constantly for you know then you might see more types but like I hardly there is a fly there's always a fly it just landed on my eye

Nicole (:This is the murderous rage.
Kelsie (:I have like some sort of guardian angel that only appears to me in fly form. It's like, you know how they say a butterfly lands on you and that's an angel? Mine is an actual fly, not a butterfly, a fly.
Ashley (:You

Nicole (:Speaking of salon nightmares, I worked at a blowout bar and often, often did I come in contact with some scalp cheese. it's not, it's not uncommon that like nasty things happen in the salon because people are gross and that's all I'll say.
Monica (:Well, and like, I don't want to be like totally judgmental, because I get it. Sometimes things happen with like your body and like, okay, but like, I'm really trying. know. Gingerbread nails is disgusting. There's no exception for that. They are.

Ashley (:You
She did freeze.
Nicole (:It just caught me way off guard. I'm sorry because clearly like
Ashley (:Ahem.
Kelsie (:you
Nicole (:Okay, anyway, stick my own shit. I did find something that bothered me today.
Ashley (:you
Nicole (:Okay, okay. let's get it together.
I need somebody to explain something to me, because I did find something that sent me right over the edge today, like while I was trying to think about what's bothering me. And I took my kids to the park today and on the way home, we went to Walmart and I got a bag of chicken nuggets, nothing fancy, we got dino nuggets. Can somebody please explain to me why the bags on these fucking...
Monica (:Wow.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:things are they don't operate the way they're supposed to operate. Okay, so I cut the thing so that I can open it and what happens when I rip the rest of the part like away it goes down the bag and so the resealable part is unusable and I swear I almost chucked the whole bag because I was like, you know when you're like teetering on the edge of like a mental breakdown and like.
Monica (:Never.
Ashley (:Ha ha ha ha ha.
Monica (:Ha ha ha!
Yeah. Yeah, I have a mental breakdown. About to have a mental breakdown right there with the chicken nuggets.
Kelsie (:Sanity.
Ashley (:Yes. Yeah.
Nicole (:Yeah, and like one thing just will set you off like your shirt will get stuck on a door or like you'll stub your toe or something stupid. That was me with the stupid chicken nugget bag. I was teetering because yesterday I had completely fallen off the edge. So I had just finally clawed my way back up. Yeah, I had just clawed my way back up and I'm teetering and the freaking chicken nugget bag sent me. Sent me. I was like, I'm done.
Ashley (:you
Monica (:She's like climbing back up.
It's always the smallest things. yeah, like you take on all these like annoying big things and it's the smallest little thing and you're like, mother!
Nicole (:This is stupid.
Ashley (:The smallest dumbest thing.
Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:It's just a little thing that just, yeah, the saying the straw that broke the camel's back is legitimate because that, I feel that in my soul. Just a sticky. So that's what's bothering me. I guess the root cause of my botheredness of me being bothered with myself is just because like.
Ashley (:See ya.
Monica (:Yeah.
this little thing.
Fair. It's valid.
Nicole (:My children are just pushing my limits. They're both in a stage where they just want to see like how far they could push the envelope before mom cracks and I've been fighting for like four days straight with my five-year-old I'm like, okay Can you go and get yourself socks and she will go in the complete opposite direction and start like playing with it to like I'm gonna lose it I'm gonna lose it get your damn socks on before I fucking explode. Like I guess what?
Monica (:Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I feel that.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:It's like, and it's everything. She, I was trying to help her get dressed earlier. I got her a shirt down. She's like, I don't want that shirt. I'm like, fine. I get her another shirt. I'm like, it's always a big deal. I get her another shirt. And she's like, I hand her that shirt. And she starts crying about the other shirt, about how she didn't want the other shirt. And I'm like, girl, I already put the other shirt away. Like, it's already done. Move on, girl. Here, have the shirt that you want.
get yourself dressed because I'm not going to deal with you losing your mind for a shirt I already put away that you said you did not want here. Take the shirt. And I walk away. I'm like, get yourself dressed. I walk away to go get her sister dressed. She comes out and I could tell that her shirt is backwards. And I go, your shirt's backwards. She's like, no, it's not. I'm like,
No it's not, what do you mean? I could see it. And she's like, no it's not.
Kelsie (:Hmph.
Monica (:conversations so many times with my kids like that exact thing. Yeah, no.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:like you didn't I don't even think you heard what I said I think you just heard me say something and just immediately wanted to say no like I don't think you actually processed what I said check and so she looks and she's like can you help me and I was like no no I can't just as quickly as you're gonna answer me and say no it's not I'm gonna quickly turn that shit right back around you nope can't sorry figured out
Ashley (:Hahaha
Nicole (:And I just keep telling myself it's just phase. But how long does the phase last? I don't know. So it's fine. I love it, psych.
Monica (:Well that's, I know, well that's it. It's like one phase ends and like there is no clear separation of like when one ends and the other one begins and you're just like, wait a minute, we're not dealing with that anymore but what is this?
Ashley (:a long time.
Another begins. Yeah. Yep.
Nicole (:Just kidding.
Especially when they're like close in age. It's like you finally stop dealing with that one thing with one and now you're dealing it with the other one. And then the older one has a new thing. And then it just like snowballs into each other. Being a parent is hard sometimes. What's harder is when you have to parent. It's like I'm parenting myself. I'm like, know where that attitude came from. I know.
Ashley (:Yeah.
Monica (:huh.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Sometimes.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:You are me, I am you. And it's like, that's why I'm annoyed with me, myself, and I, because that little person is me. It's okay, it is or this, it's just sometimes it just be like that.
Ashley (:You
Yup.
Monica (:Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Kelsie (:Motherfucker.
Nicole (:What happened? did they lose? It's the game.
Ashley (:Is it the game?
Kelsie (:No, but there's like a minute 46 left and they just got a first and 10 and they're in field goal range and
Nicole (:Hey.
Ashley (:What's the score? Speak a language we understand.
Nicole (:understand her.
Ashley (:What's the score?
Kelsie (:It's four, the Broncos are 14, Chiefs have 16, but if the Broncos kick a field goal, then they're ahead.
Monica (:I do too.
Ashley (:it's close.
Nicole (:But yeah, was going to say, but it's the Broncos that are in field goal range. That sucks. But a minute and 46 seconds can be a long time in football. That could be another hour. Correct. See? Yes. See, it could be. It could be.
Monica (:Hmm
Yeah.
Kelsie (:Yeah.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Kelsie (:The Chiefs have done way less in 13 seconds, so...
Monica (:The funny thing is this is gonna come out on Thursday and everybody's gonna already know how it ended and be like, ohhhh.
Kelsie (:Yeah, but but in the moment Kelsey was stressing. Stressing. I was just like we're we're 8 and 0 and we can't go we can't lose to them.
Nicole (:Yeah.
Kelsey is stressing up in the moment.
You
Monica (:Kelsey will be having another Minty B.
Kelsie (:That's honestly that goes right on par with the week fucking like Are you guys ever gonna watch outer bakes cuz if not, I'm gonna trauma dump
Nicole (:Kelsey's teetering.
Monica (:I know, I know.
Ashley (:Hahaha
Nicole (:Okay. Yes. No, I probably am because I was really into the first two seasons. I was really, really into the first two. Stop it. Shut the fuck up. No, don't shut up. Nope. Well, yeah, if you told me who, then I wouldn't need to watch it, but now I have to watch it because you told me somebody dies and I need to know who. Shut up.
Ashley (:No.
Kelsie (:Okay, well then I'm gonna try. Someone dies, Nicole, someone dies.
I won't tell you who, but someone dies.
Nicole (:Shut up. Okay.
Monica (:my goodness.
Kelsie (:And then I accidentally stumbled my way onto that side of TikTok. So now I just keep watching the same thing of them dying over and over again.
Ashley (:Mmm.
Nicole (:my god, I need to stay away.
Monica (:Why are you doing that to yourself?
Kelsie (:I somehow got out of election TikTok and got into that TikTok. Fucking A.
Ashley (:likes to suffer.
Nicole (:Okay, I feel like the only thing that there is to talk about this week is the election and I don't want to do that. Not that I'm saying that I'm upset or anything, but I don't want to talk about anything, you know what mean? But it's like, I feel like that's the only thing that's happening right now in life. And it's like.
Kelsie (:Alright.
Monica (:It's exhausting.
Yeah, I will say.
Kelsie (:I feel like the Outer Banks, the Outer Banks producers should have been like, I think that we should not release the new season to this week. I think they should have used a little foresight. Maybe they thought, we'll bring some joy to the, no, you didn't bring any joy to this scenario. So, okay, there was like a minute left. no, how did that go? There was like a minute and 40 and now there's 20 seconds left.
Nicole (:No
Ashley (:Ha ha ha.
Nicole (:That was bad timing. That was bad timing.
No.
Ashley (:shit.
Nicole (:wow, that was a massive jump.
Kelsie (:Sorry, I'm gonna stop looking. I apologize. What are we talking about? let's do a would you rathers. Let's do would you rathers.
Nicole (:We don't know, we're not.
OK, I have one. Kelsey. I have to ask you, would you rather would you rather have every single one of your thoughts appear as a text on your phone for people to read or?
Ashley (:Eeeh...
Kelsie (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:have an actual person follow you around narrating everything you do. And that's what sent me into a fit of laughter, because I could imagine it.
Ashley (:Stop, I know the answer. I know the answer. This is the easy would you rather for her.
Kelsie (:You
Monica (:What's up?
Nicole (:I just thought that was so funny! Okay, because I could picture it. Somebody just...
Kelsie (:Okay, on the count of three, everybody say what they think my answer is. One, two, three. Narrator.
Nicole (:Nary.
Ashley (:Narrator!
Monica (:narrator
Ashley (:She needs to shut up.
Monica (:be the dream especially if they added in like a soundtrack Kelsey would be like
Ashley (:my god.
Kelsie (:Guys, you don't want live updates of my thoughts. Like that would be a very like...
Nicole (:That's exactly what.
Ashley (:You
Monica (:That is not true. I would be so wildly entertained, but
Nicole (:Actually, I'm like actually
Monica (:and narrator, especially if they had a soundtrack for you. It would be your Disney Channel dreams.
Nicole (:like a little soundboard following you around. I just thought it would be, I could picture it. Just like somebody obnoxiously following you around narrating everything you do. And like a weird like narrator voice or something, know, like I just thought it was funny. That's what sent me into the giggle fit.
Ashley (:Yeah.
And...
Kelsie (:That's funny. Okay.
Nicole (:Okay, anyway, who wants to go next?
Ashley (:Kelsey goes next.
Kelsie (:Okay, Monica, would you rather get chased by a swarm of bees every time you leave your house or always find a snake in your bed?
Ashley (:Ha ha ha!
Monica (:That's so fucking nice.
Nicole (:That's so horrible. It just says a snake.
Monica (:What kind of snake?
Kelsie (:I mean, does it matter to you? I can pick one if you need a specific kind.
Monica (:Yes, yes it does. It does matter. Because if it's like a bull snake, yeah, okay, whatever. Put that back in the cage. But if we're talking like a block snake.
Nicole (:Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Kelsie (:Okay, how about a black snake every time?
Ashley (:Like just the color black, any version.
Kelsie (:No, there is a kind of snake called a plexus.
Ashley (:You
Nicole (:Is there?
Kelsie (:Yes. Why forget we live in very different parts of the world?
Monica (:It's a-
Nicole (:you
Kelsie (:god.
Monica (:It's like diamondback rattlesnake. Is it poisonous? Does it bite? Is it poisonous? Okay, but a bull snake isn't gonna do anything to you.
Nicole (:Yay!
Kelsie (:I'm not gonna, I wouldn't, okay.
Ashley (:They all bite.
Nicole (:Is it going to bite you?
Kelsie (:it's-
Okay, okay, technically I think it's a black rat snake, but still quite large.
Ashley (:If you want the snake in your bed, just say so, Bada-ka.
Nicole (:I think she, but rat snakes are, they don't do anything. don't think they don't like, they're not, Yeah. But they're not aggressive. Yeah.
Ashley (:Ooh.
Kelsie (:No, that's why I picked them because they're very large, they can get very large, but they're not... They're not... I mean...
Monica (:Okay, well then that. As long as they don't, if they're not venomous, then I don't care. I can deal with that, get one of those snake sticks and just... Is it just one? Is it just one? Okay, no, here, I got a plan. I got a plan. I will make my bed every day, open up the sheets and then just like, scoop it up. And then we'll be good to go.
Kelsie (:You do not care. You're just going to open your bed and there's a little snake culled up in there. Yeah, it said one. It said a snake.
Nicole (:You know what I'm picturing?
Ashley (:every day.
Kelsie (:Monica's gonna become a snake mom.
Nicole (:Yep, scoop it up. Scoop it up. You know what I'm picturing? That scene in the craft where all the snakes are coming out and all the bugs and all the snakes are coming out of the drain.
Monica (:That's why I said is it one
Kelsie (:What if I had picked one of those little like snakes that they're like smaller than worms but they're still they're like ring neck snakes and then it was like you wouldn't know where it was in your bed you'd have to just crawl in there if you couldn't find it
Nicole (:Shut up. Ew, I just got like a shiver. I hate you. Monica's face is not happy. She doesn't like it. Well, Monica picks the snake. literally, that's the episode name. There's the title. Yuck, neck. Yuck, yuck.
Kelsie (:you
Monica (:I don't like that.
Ashley (:an episode of uncomfortable things.
Kelsie (:Yeah, this is the episode of X.
Monica (:It's giving me the ick, Nick.
Ashley (:God
Monica (:Yeah, if it's gonna be one of those snakes, I would go with the bee. Otherwise, the other one, just scoop that bad boy up in the sheet. Yeah, but the thing is, bees can be very docile as long as you're not actually bugging them. There's bee suits. I will bring out the smoker. Like, there's choices here.
Ashley (:The bee, it's a bunch of bees, isn't it?
Nicole (:It's a swarm of bees.
Kelsie (:You swarm of bees.
Nicole (:Nah, bro, not if it's a swarm.
Kelsie (:I don't think, I don't, I think the-
Nicole (:Nah,
Ashley (:Hmm.
Kelsie (:Every time you leave the house, every time.
Monica (:A bee suit. It's fine. Yeah, it's fine. Made my own little bubble. Ashley, would you rather your only mode of transportation be a donkey and a cowboy hat or roller skates? So with squeaky wheels, I can never be silenced.
Kelsie (:Monica lives in a bee suit.
Nicole (:Nope. Nope. my God. Minica, go.
Ashley (:Hehehehehe
Kelsie (:Okay.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
man.
Nicole (:Wait, did you say donkey in a cowboy hat or donkey and a hat? That's what I was trying to clarify.
Ashley (:Do I wear the cowboy hat or does the donkey? Can I wear the cowboy hat or does my donkey wear a cowboy hat?
Kelsie (:Does it matter?
Monica (:The donkey does, but you can take it.
Nicole (:Maybe.
Ashley (:Hmm, this is tough.
Kelsie (:Hahaha
Ashley (:I actually don't hate either option that much. Okay, let me think.
Nicole (:These are great options, honestly.
Kelsie (:I'm just, I'm listening, I'm seeing you ride your donkey with a pink cowgirl hat and it's like, pink pony club, I'm gonna keep on dancing with my pink donkey club.
Monica (:You
Nicole (:Pony Club! I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pony Club!
Ashley (:Huh.
I think I would take the donkey because I might get tired if I only had boulder skates
Monica (:Ha ha!
Nicole (:Yes, take the donkey. Take the donkey.
Ashley (:Also, I'm more of a roller blader than a roller skater, so.
Monica (:Don't gay
Nicole (:she's one of the cool kids. Yeah, don't look at my ass.
Monica (:Yeah, it's true. Have you seen her on Instagram? She's rolling around.
Kelsie (:And you can be like, are you looking at my ass? Don't look my ass that way.
Ashley (:Yes, I will say that whilst we ride with our cowboy hats. To everyone we pass.
Nicole (:Stop looking at my ass.
Kelsie (:you
I got a fat ass and a bad attitude.
Ashley (:You
Kelsie (:Go.
Ashley (:Okay. Okay.
Monica (:Thanks
Nicole (:Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Ashley (:All right, so I have Nicole. Nicole's left, okay. Miak, Miakol. Ma'am, I have two. I don't know which one to ask you. Miss Ma'am?
Nicole (:Neco, yeah.
Monica (:No.
Nicole (:Bam! Pick Eenie Meenie Minie Mo.
Ashley (:Okay, would you rather?
Kelsie (:Thanks
Nicole (:Ahem.
Ashley (:Would you rather be allergic to all your favorite foods or only be able to eat your least favorite foods?
Nicole (:That's the same thing
Ashley (:No, there's a middle ground. There's middle foods.
Nicole (:No, because I wouldn't be able to eat it. That's the same-
Ashley (:if it's your favorite.
Kelsie (:Either way, you can't eat it.
Nicole (:eat my favorite foods. Fuck, I die. I die of starvation because the number one thing I love most in this world is food. So I die. Yeah, it's a terrible one. I guess so that I don't go into anaphylactic shock, I would like to only eat not my favorite foods, I guess.
Monica (:Nicole starves.
Ashley (:It's a lose-lose.
You're right, either way, yeah, it's really a lose-lose.
Monica (:Yeah.
Kelsie (:This is like them putting mushroom in every fucking thing that's sacred to me.
Nicole (:Literally, literally. This is Kelsey's actual life right now. Maybe we should. It's true. No.
Monica (:Here you go. I know.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
someone the universe is out to get Kelsey to trick her.
Monica (:I know. For real. For real. You poor thing, you can't even do skin care without having to look.
Kelsie (:and
Monica (:Alright, well, would you guys like to have another episode of Am I the Asshole? Because this one's a doozy. Okay.
Nicole (:That was like...
Ashley (:Yup.
Nicole (:Of course.
I feel like this is like a smorgasbord of an episode. We're just like, here, listen to us talk about this. Words.
Monica (:it
Ashley (:Words. We are saying things.
Monica (:Words.
Nicole (:you
Kelsie (:This is our group chat though, like the crier and the fly. Who changed my name?
Monica (:This is the group chat.
Kelsie (:If you can't, if you haven't figured this out already and you can't and you're not watching this and you're listening, we were able to find out that we could add like little subtitles to our names. And mine was the crier, but now it's the crier and the fly. Monica's is the professional button presser because some, we all get a little handsy with the buttons. So we had to designate one and Monica's, that's her. And then Nicole's chatty Cathy, cause the bitch don't shut up.
Ashley (:No.
title, like a little title underneath our name.
Monica (:It's an important job.
Nicole (:Duh. Nope. They know. They listen, maybe.
Ashley (:They know, they know.
Kelsie (:And then Ashley is, the Ashley is pistachio, a tough nut to crack. Cause I felt like it needed a little extra in there. Little context.
Monica (:I know.
Ashley (:You
Monica (:Tuff. T-U-F-F.
Ashley (:A little pizzazz.
Nicole (:We had but she had to yeah, she had to spell she had to spell tough to you FF and
Kelsie (:I ran out of room so I had to abbreviate. Okay. Tough, T-U-F-F, she's tough.
Ashley (:And the two is a numerical two, so it's really something.
A tough nut to crack.
Nicole (:The crier in the fly is gonna be your biography name.
Monica (:If Kelsey ever writes a book.
Nicole (:And and Monica's Monica's is gonna be
Kelsie (:Yeah.
Nicole (:only funny to us. I'm so sorry!
Monica (:You
Kelsie (:You
Monica (:When you grow up in a small town, every story is a-
Kelsie (:I grew up in a small town and I don't think I've ever referenced my town one time.
Ashley (:for reference every story.
That's not true, the Halloween episode was all about your town.
Kelsie (:No, that's not my town!
Nicole (:She's like, I don't claim it. I don't claim it.
Ashley (:The text town over.
Monica (:Okay, fuck you guys. Let's get into the story.
Ashley (:For reference, every story that Monica tells about her past is about when they drove from Pine to Payson. And eventually Kelsey was like, wow, every time you tell a story, it starts with this one time we were going from Pine to Payson.
Monica (:you
Kelsie (:Hmm
Nicole (:You
Kelsie (:It's true. Every time she speaks.
Nicole (:It was...
Kelsie (:Shit.
Nicole (:Every story Monica told when we were in Colorado was, this one time I was driving from Pace to Define. And at one point we just started going, really?
Ashley (:Every word out of her mouth.
Monica (:you
Kelsie (:Yes.
Ashley (:What?
Monica (:I literally can't breathe.
Kelsie (:If I ever had to pretend to be Monica, like give me Polyjuice potion and I have to be Monica. I'm just gonna start talking about the road from pine to basin and I'm gonna, nail it.
Nicole (:Yeah, you would you would Yeah, just get a giggle fit and you're good
Kelsie (:lol
Ashley (:And then just start laughing uncontrollably if you... Yeah. Pine to Payton, Gigglefit. Boom.
Monica (:I literally can't breathe.
Kelsie (:I have to work on my- I have to work on my giggle because as we know I can only snicker I can't
Nicole (:And it's so funny if you're watching the YouTube of our videos when I'm editing the videos and the podcasts that I'm watching us, us three are hysterical laughing and you're sitting there and it looks like you don't give a fuck. It looks like you think we're the stupidest bitches. Because you're snickering. Kelsey, yeah, because she's just snickering. like, yeah, yeah.
Monica (:You
you
Kelsie (:Mmm.
Monica (:You
Ashley (:Wait, who? Kelsey because she's snickering?
Kelsie (:you
Monica (:She's like
Ashley (:Because you can't see it. Even right now, she's barely moving. If you pay close attention, you can see she's gyrating a little bit, but mostly, it's just...
Nicole (:Yeah, like she just, right, right.
Kelsie (:Okay.
Nicole (:Honestly, it just looks like she's smiling off into the distance, like not listening to what, but she doesn't care.
Ashley (:She's not here.
That's so true. That's funny.
Nicole (:And it makes me giggle every time I edit it's like
Kelsie (:I've tried to audibly laugh like I've tried to like audibly laugh, and it's very weird. It's not natural. It's not
Monica (:You
Ashley (:Can you try it? Can you do a demo? Give us, make noise. You're already laughing, make noise. It's the customer service voice and the silent laugh.
Nicole (:This is like the customer, this is the customer service voice all over again.
Kelsie (:If it comes out, it's gonna come out like hee hee hee.
I don't think I can do it. Like you guys have a sound. I think mine's gonna come out like... It's... Yours sounds like a giggle though. If mine, if I try to force it, it's either gonna be hee hee hee or it's gonna be...
Nicole (:many sounds I yeah
Ashley (:That's my donkey.
Nicole (:Please.
Ashley (:sorry sir.
Kelsie (:My cheeks? My cheeks hurt.
Ashley (:my god. Okay, stop.
Monica (:gonna do my makeup for these episodes because I
Kelsie (:How did we get here? How did we get here?
Nicole (:I asked myself that every day. That's how it started and then it moved to Kelsey. So we're just making the rounds. It did, it did, it did.
Monica (:Because you guys are bullying me again.
Ashley (:I don't know.
I think it started with the cry around the fly,
Monica (:Okay. my gosh.
Kelsie (:And then, yeah, find a piece and...
Nicole (:And then from paste them to pine.
Ashley (:And then we went from pine to basin a few times. Now here we are.
Nicole (:Okay, okay, okay, okay. It's a pine or a peasant. Okay, we're done.
Monica (:You guys, I'm going home.
Ashley (:Okay, wait. Yes, she's gonna drive back and forth. Okay, Monica was gonna read us a story. Monica?
Monica (:you
Nicole (:before we broke her.
Kelsie (:.
Monica (:So it says, okay, buckle up because this is a mess. I 27 female have a fiance, Jake, 30 year old male, and my sister Emily 25 female was always super close to both of us. She was my maid of honor and we were incredibly tight growing up, but things started to get weird a year ago. I noticed that Emily started hanging out with Jake a lot more at family gatherings at parties, even just texting or calling him. I brushed it off, but deep down I knew something was off.
Nicole (:Nope.
Monica (:Fast forward to six months ago and Emily confessed to me that she and Jake had kissed. I was devastated. Jake apologized and promised it meant nothing, but Emily seemed to act like it was no big deal. She told me that I was being dramatic and needed to get over it, but I couldn't. After a huge argument, Jake and I broke off the engagement, but I was still crushed. Fast forward to two weeks ago before her wedding, guess who shows up at my door?
Ashley (:Hmm
Nicole (:Dishonor.
Monica (:Emily. She confesses that not only did she kiss Jake, but they've been seeing each other in secret for the past four months.
Nicole (:Wait, she's getting married to someone else? my god, that's a whole mess. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Ashley (:my god.
Monica (:Mm hmm. Yeah. So Emily has her own fiance and she hooked up with this girl's fiance, Jake. Yeah. Yeah. So Emily and Jake have been seeing each other secretly for four months. She begged me not to tell anyone because you know, it was too late to cancel her wedding and she didn't want to lose everything she worked for. Naturally, I lost it, which I also find very interesting, like everything that she worked for, but it's interesting.
Ashley (:Hmm
Nicole (:Her sister's fiance.
Mm-hmm.
Monica (:I told her I wasn't going to ruin her big day, but she was dead to me. So I did what I thought was the only option. The day of her wedding, I showed up to the venue uninvited with a group of our extended family members who all knew about the affair and I ruined the whole thing. I pulled her aside. I pulled her aside during the ceremony, told the entire guest list about her affair with Jake and asked everyone to leave.
Ashley (:my god.
Nicole (:Fuck yeah!
Ashley (:my gosh.
Ahem.
Mmm.
Monica (:She screamed, cried and tried to stop me, but it was too late. The fallout has been insane. My family is split down the middle. Some say I was right to expose her for what she did, while others say I'm selfish, one for ruining her day and her entire future. Now my parents are threatening to disown me and Emily says I've permanently destroyed her life. Am I the asshole?
Nicole (:Mmm!
Ashley (:Hmm.
Nicole (:Mmm, going on? Yeah, no, sorry, I... I'm for it. I'm for it. I'm for it.
Monica (:So messy. So messy.
Ashley (:Wow, it's so messy.
Kelsie (:I don't, this is like, you know, Trevor sent me an Am I the Asshole that's kind of similar where like the guy was, the girl got caught cheating and she was like, got pregnant by the other person and the way that the guy went about exposing her was kind of cruel. And this one wasn't as cruel as that, but still it's like, I can see, for the most part I think that you're not the asshole, but like, did you have to do it?
Monica (:Like soap opera.
Kelsie (:Like, did you have to go and, like, gut the ceremony? You should have just, like, pulled her fiance aside, told him, and let it fall out that way, I feel. Like, not, like, go burn the whole motherfucker to the ground.
Monica (:at the ceremony.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Monica (:Mm-hmm.
Let them deal with it.
Ashley (:Yeah. I did, yeah.
Monica (:down. Although I get it though. I get it though. it's not just like, her coming to her and confiding in her. is, she cheated on her fiance with her own fiance, you know? So like the sister, you know what I mean? And so it's like, it's a double hit, I think for her. So I get the vengeance. I'm not saying it's okay, but I get the vengeance. Yeah.
Ashley (:I think she is the asshole. I mean, I think they're both an asshole.
Kelsie (:Yeah.
Nicole (:Mm-hmm.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Kelsie (:Yeah. Yeah. No, I get it. I think that's my problem is I get it, but.
Nicole (:Hurrsss, hurrsss.
her sister coming to her door and saying, please don't ruin my life. That's giving Leo and Hannah energy when he's like, can you please don't tell Brittany that Aurora, can you put in a good word? No, I'm going to.
Monica (:I think that's so interesting.
No. Can you put in a good word for Britney?
Ashley (:You
Kelsie (:Well, it's like, why did you come to clear your conscience to the one person who wouldn't be able to forgive you? Like... Yeah. I mean, you could have probably told your mom. Your mama probably would have taken it to the grave, but you told the person that you, like, you betrayed in the first place. You wanted her to out you. Yeah.
Monica (:That, yeah.
Nicole (:Who? Right. Right. Don't come start more shit.
Monica (:Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Well, it's almost like it
Right?
Nicole (:Honestly, she could have taken it to her own grave. Yeah, she could have taken it to her own grave. She could have been like, I ain't gotta tell nobody nothing and just went on with her wedding, you know?
Monica (:Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, and what was the goal? Yeah, like what was the goal? Was she planning on breaking it off with Jake after she got married? it didn't.
Kelsie (:What's been going on for like four months? like, why do you care? I don't understand why people care about like preserving something for the sake of looks, like preserving an engagement and a wedding for the sake of not wanting to look bad. Like you're, you're, you're having, you're like on four, month four of your affair. Like if you want to be done, like, yeah.
Nicole (:Yeah, what yeah
What are we doing? You deserve it, sorry.
Monica (:Yeah.
Right.
Ashley (:Well, clearly she had a conscience, so she told her sister. But so then her sister almost in a way did her like a little bit of like a favor because she never would have been able to live with that with her now husband. Although I still think the sister handled it the wrong way.
Nicole (:A favor?
Kelsie (:Yeah.
Monica (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:But maybe she would have. Maybe she would have though, because she, when the girl confronted the sister, Jake said that he felt bad and was sorry about it, but the sister acted like it wasn't a big deal. So maybe she would have been able to continue on with her marriage and having the affair and not giving a shit about who she was hurting or not. know, like, I don't know. We don't know that. I honestly.
Kelsie (:Well, like if it was still, my thing is like if it was over, not that it makes it okay, but I can understand how you think you're gonna just admit it and then move on and move on with your marriage and put it in the past. But like it sounds like it was still ongoing, so what was your like?
Monica (:Mm-hmm.
What was the end goal there in that conversation?
Kelsie (:I don't get what your goal- yeah I don't- what did you think was gonna happen?
Nicole (:And the sister and Jake had had already called off their engagement There was no point for her to go to her and be like it's over We've been doing this for four months, but it's over Please don't ruin my wedding because they were already broken up and not getting back together anyway So like literally what was the point of her going to her sister is saying all the things that she said? And then she should have went to a priest go to confessional. I don't know go to go to your mama Yep, I don't
Ashley (:She could have just had a moment of weakness and needed to get it off her chest or.
Monica (:Mm-hmm.
Kelsie (:Go to your mom, like I said, your mama would have taken it to the grave, I'm sure. Especially if now she's like threatening to disown the one because of the... I think that you would have been safe. Go tell your mom. She would have kept it.
Ashley (:you
Nicole (:Yeah, no, right. And honestly, I feel like she that's probably why she did it because she's like, this bitch gets away with everything. There's probably more to this. She's probably like, everybody sees her as the perfect sister and the perfect blah, blah, blah. And she's actually evil. So I'm going to out her.
Monica (:Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. There's gotta be more, because I...
Kelsie (:I'm sure it's very layered.
Monica (:Yeah.
Kelsie (:Are we sure that this isn't just a changed version of the movie, The Wedding Date, where, have you guys seen that? You know what I'm talking about? The sister, she's, the one is engaged to the, there's a fucking fly on my mic, the one sister's engaged to the one guy and the other sister's engaged to this guy she's been with forever, and she kisses the sister's fiance and then,
Nicole (:Yeah. Yeah.
Monica (:Maybe. Maybe.
Nicole (:you
Hmm. Mm-hmm.
Monica (:Maybe.
Kelsie (:He breaks up with her and they have like they carry on an affair for a while and then the This is this is the movie somebody just took this movie and put it into am I the asshole for him? If you've seen the wedding date, you know what I'm talking about
Nicole (:Mm.
Monica (:Yeah.
I could have.
Nicole (:Wait, is that the wedding date or is that the I thought the wedding date was the one where she hires the male escort to be her date to the Is that the is that the same?
Kelsie (:She does because her boy, her ex fiance is gonna be there and his fiance, her fiance had had an affair, a whole affair with her sister and she didn't even know till like the day of her sister's wedding. She kind of almost did blow up the wedding but the fiance forgave the sister and they still got married. It was a little, I mean, this sounds like a, like obviously we had more context in the movie. So, but.
Nicole (:right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right,
Monica (:Mmm. Mmm.
Ashley (:Did she blow up the wedding in that movie?
Nicole (:Yeah. Yeah. It ended up being fine.
Right.
Kelsie (:It sounds the same other than that. I think they ripped off the movie.
Monica (:Interesting. They could have.
Nicole (:I'm gonna be honest, I would have done the same thing. So no, I don't think she's the asshole. I would have burned it down. I am wild.
Monica (:I know, well, cause that's, I know, like I'm thinking more about it and she probably, I don't know though, because she's probably feeling so embarrassed first because her own engagement got broken off because of her sister. So she's so embarrassed. So she's like, all right, bitch, you're gonna be embarrassed too. I kinda.
Ashley (:No, I think that's wild.
Nicole (:Mm.
Kelsie (:think even just telling the fiance would have been embarrassing enough though, like I don't know about like...
Ashley (:Yeah, the same embarrassment. would have been the same, well, or worse, whatever, if she just broke it off. And then she wouldn't be in this weird position where she's now a bad guy because she inconvenienced a whole family and had everyone there. Like she could have...
Monica (:Yeah.
Nicole (:I'm...
Kelsie (:I don't know.
Monica (:Yeah.
Yeah.
Kelsie (:She still probably would have been like a little bit the bad guy, but not as much.
Nicole (:I'm a vengeful person, I guess, as I would've.
Monica (:I don't know though, like I would have loved to like be a fly on the wall for that conversation of her like knocking on her door and telling her about it because to come and be like, okay, I did this bad thing, but like also I did this bad thing with like your fiance, but now I need you to carry this like heavy burden for me so that I don't have to carry it to the altar. Thanks, bye.
Nicole (:Yeah.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:I am so curious though. Here's what I'm starting to think of. Okay, so they both have fiancees clearly. The sister kisses or now we know sleeps with has a full-on affair with the other sister's fiance. When sister A broke the engagement off with Jake, did nobody ask what happened? Did nobody ask why are you and Jake not engaged anymore?
Did she not tell anybody because my sister and him kissed or whatever she was led to believe they did? Like, did, why, why, this should have already been exposed to the other fiance. Her parents should have known and been like, how are you surprised that you, you know, this happened on your wedding day? But I also wonder too, if the sister be the one that was the cheating on everybody.
Kelsie (:That's I'm saying, like...
Monica (:Mmm. Mm-hmm.
Kelsie (:At the very least her parents should have known that this...
Monica (:Yeah
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:If she was just anxious and sick to her stomach thinking that her sister was gonna show up to the wedding and she was thinking like, maybe if I get to her first, I can stop her from doing that when really she only just fueled the fire more.
Monica (:Hmm.
Well, but, there's a key detail in here though that is not really explained, is that they're sisters, right? And so when she showed up to her wedding to expose her, it says she showed up to the venue uninvited. So how did that conversation go? Because maybe there was details of like, you need to call it off and if you don't, I will.
Nicole (:Right?
uninvited. So did sister... that's what I'm saying. Like how she's clearly uninvited.
Well, she's obviously not invited because her fucking relationship ended because of her sister. So.
Kelsie (:No, but shouldn't your husband, shouldn't your fiance be like, why isn't your sister invited? Like, this is something fishy going on in here. We're missing details. We're missing details.
Nicole (:That's why I'm saying like, that's yeah, how did they not already know? So actually, I mean, I kind of don't really think she's the asshole because I feel like they should have already known about this, unless she did the same thing with the fiance and she was like, it's just it was just a kiss. meant nothing. We're not, you know, it's blah, blah, blah. And he forgave her already. You know what I mean? Like it could have. I just.
Monica (:There's something.
You
Yeah.
Mmm... Mm-hmm... Mm-hmm...
Kelsie (:Still, how are your parents okay with your sister not being invited? Cause like my parents would be like, if you're gonna move on and get married, like then this, shouldn't give a shit. Your sister's coming. Like yeah, like there's some stuff that don't make sense in this story.
Monica (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:How? Then you need to squash it, yeah. Right. Yeah.
Monica (:Very interesting. Very, very interesting.
Nicole (:Yeah, I need more details. I probably would not have stood up in front of the whole congregation and be like, this bitch a cheater, but I would have for sure told the husband to be probably on the wedding day. I would have snuck in if I was not invited and went to his like groom suite and be like, listen, yo, yo wife a bitch. You're not wife, wife. Hold on.
Ashley (:Suspicious.
Yes, yeah.
Nicole (:Your fiance has been cheating on you for four months like I would have told him for sure if he didn't already know because how do you just not have a relationship with your sister anymore not invite her to the wedding her your sister and her fiance break up and You're the fiance of that girl and you're just sitting there like wondering what's happening and you have no idea cuz no like no you would know you would know you would know like Yeah, yeah
Ashley (:He's dumb. He's obviously dumb.
Monica (:Yeah. Yeah. Especially for how close that it said that they were like, how do you have a falling out like that and explain that without having to like say lie after lie after lie. There's there's something missing.
Kelsie (:We're missing crucial details, I feel.
Nicole (:Right, crazy. There are so many things missing. I don't know. I think the in. Yeah. Yeah, I was going to say, I think the intentions. we were we were she was the driver.
Monica (:I don't know. I'm a little torn. I'm going to be honest, I'm a little torn because I kind of get it. I think that she took a full on ride with the Petty Patty wagon all the way to that video.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Kelsie (:It's not that I don't get it. It's not that I don't get it. It's just that when it involves when it somehow can hurt other people involved, not just the person that you're trying to hurt, then that's where I like and like, you're not you're kind of embarrassing the fiance to by like wrecking the whole like, he doesn't deserve that. Yeah, you just you just embarrassed him publicly as well. Like if. Mm hmm. Yeah, that's where I lose.
Monica (:Yeah.
Nicole (:Yeah.
Monica (:Yeah.
Ashley (:Yeah, you ruined his wedding too. His wedding is ruined. Like, out of the blue. Yes. To his whole family. All of his friends that are there.
Monica (:Yeah.
Nicole (:Yeah, yeah, his wedding is ruined. Yeah.
Monica (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:Yeah. Yeah.
Monica (:Yeah, and I think that's the sad part because it didn't give him a chance to have his own initial reaction and process before he has to do it so publicly, and that's pretty messed up.
Nicole (:Hmm. It is messed up for his sake. I do feel bad for him, but I don't necessarily feel bad for.
Ashley (:Yeah. Yeah.
Kelsie (:Yeah.
Monica (:All around I feel bad for him. He was in the dark, it seems like all around.
Nicole (:Yeah, literally seems like he knew he knows nothing about anything because I would be asking why did your sister and her fiance break up? Like that, you know? Yeah. Sorry your fly is bothering you, crier. This is his show too. It's his podcast.
Ashley (:It needs to be more vigilant.
Monica (:Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Kelsie (:just been sitting here on this and I'm like I can't blow in the mic to blow him off.
Ashley (:Well, he's a paid actor.
Kelsie (:It's my guardian angel, so... His wings just have a fly.
Nicole (:so I'm split. think her intentions were not the asshole, but maybe the delivery was the asshole thing.
Kelsie (:Yeah, I think that I think I understand her. I understand. get it. But like I just when it comes to like revenge when you're hurting people that are no don't deserve that, then that's where I'm like, you took it maybe too far, you know.
Nicole (:because I can't I yeah
Monica (:Yeah.
Nicole (:Yeah, but I don't think her parents should be mad at her, disown her or anything. I think that's a crap shoot. Like you... No.
Monica (:For sure. Can you imagine?
Yeah.
Kelsie (:No. Mm-mm.
Monica (:Yeah. Although can you imagine being like one of the guests at the wedding and you're just like,
Nicole (:popcorn, popcorn. I'd be like, I would just be like, ooh, I'd be, mm-hmm, front row seats. that'd be great. That'd be great. I wear some popcorn.
Ashley (:the tea. Woohoo. Man.
Kelsie (:The tea is piping hot.
Monica (:The four of us would be in the crowd being like, wee woo wee woo.
Ashley (:huh.
Monica (:man, the drama.
Nicole (:Gosh see I love I love hearing about other people's drama, but I don't want to be involved in my own
Monica (:I'm thankful I do not have this level of drama in my day to day.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:thank God. my gosh. thank you.
Kelsie (:I was thinking about like all the times, but it was last night I was laying in bed just thinking about like some of the times I've been involved in drama and just I was like, ugh, and this conversation is making think of it. I'm just like, it's so cringy sometimes. I can't get back on it. I don't want to be involved. Yeah.
Nicole (:Mm-hmm.
Ashley (:Alright, well this has been fun.
Kelsie (:Huh.
Nicole (:can I say one thing that I'm actually like not bothered by? Which I think we can all I think we can all agree on this. The amount of fucking ACOTAR memes that I've come.
Monica (:Yeah
Ashley (:Please do.
Monica (:my gosh, I am like thoroughly proud of myself that I have trained my algorithm right now so that this week where I would have been bombarded by all the political crap, I have not because it is 100 % ACOTAR in my reels. Literally, it's like maybe one out of every 10 is not ACOTAR right now. Like I am fully immersed in Bookgram and it is so good. Like the reels in...
Ashley (:we are.
Nicole (:It's just Akitar memes.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:You're right. Same. Yeah. Yep. I'm so happy.
Monica (:in Bookstagram, like they do not disappoint. There is some serious humor. They are so funny. The Cassian and Asriel ones are sending me. They're so funny.
Nicole (:They don't know, they're so funny. They're so fucking funny. But the actually, yes. The one that I sent you, that was the guy doing the unboxing for, and he's like, it's Tamlin related and it's just a box of tampons. fucking hate. But Ashley, Ashley is so sneaky.

Kelsie (:Right

Nicole (:The Immortal Chicken Nugget!
Monica (:It's so true. There's always that one, it just never dies.

And I was like, wow, the people need some comic relief. Let me step in. Let me join the chat. I know that was, I had so many funny reels.

Ashley (:I had so many more, I was just laughing. I was laughing so hard.
Nicole (:That sent me so hard because I had not really been, I was reading all that day and not paying attention to anything. And I had just gone on like at the end of the day, I think it was really late when I sent you that message about how hard I was laughing.
Ashley (:Uh-huh.
Yeah. Yeah.
Nicole (:And I fucking almost woke my children up because they were laying next to me with how hard I was laughing. I was about to pee myself. still like, why is this so funny? Either I'm so tired or this is actually like the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life.
Ashley (:You
Okay.
Monica (:really is funny.
Ashley (:Okay, so when you're mad at your chicken nugget bag, just remember that real.
Kelsie (:One more thing, I have one more thing about shit that's bothering me this week, because I forgot this, but I'm fucking bothered by the fact that it's fucking 3.30. It's 3.30 and it looks like it looks like it's goddamn 6.30 outside 7 o'clock.
Nicole (:I know. Yeah. The sun is setting.
Ashley (:I was gonna say this too.
Nicole (:Yeah, the sun is setting.
Ashley (:Yep. And in the morning?
Monica (:Yeah.
Kelsie (:Every night. my, I can handle the morning, but it's like when you're, when it's like evening and you're like done and the kids are just like driving you crazy and you look outside and you're like, it looks like sunset. It's gotta be like, it's gotta be like seven o'clock at least. It's fucking four o'clock in the afternoon and you've got so much life left to live for the day. God damn. Nothing ruins my day faster.
Nicole (:Yeah.
Ashley (:oof
Nicole (:Yeah, and it's four.
Ashley (:Mm-hmm.
Nicole (:No. No. Literally.
Monica (:So much.
Ashley (:You know what? It kind of has been working in my favor in the evening though, because my kids were used to like when it's dark, they go to bed, you know? And so now they like think they're like staying up late. Yeah. Yeah. They think they're like staying up late and they're like, you know, pulling the wool over my eyes or something. And they like act good. Or if I'm sick of them, I'll just be like, look at that. It's dark. Time for bed. Goodbye. Scram.
Monica (:Mm.
Nicole (:You have them trained so well. Minor feral.
Monica (:Man.
Yeah.
Nicole (:It's dark outside. Bye. Good night.
Monica (:Same for me.
Kelsie (:man.
Nicole (:I think, screw you, I actually think it did help last night because my kids are outside at this time. when it was, and as soon as it got too, like too dark for them to really like stay out there. Like it was still light out, but it was just kind of too dark for me. I was like, okay, I'm done, let's go inside.
Ashley (:The spookies start coming out.
Nicole (:No, it wasn't even that. just was like, the sun was finally behind the trees and I was like, okay, we've got three minutes before it's pitch black. Let's go inside. And, I think because they were actually outside when that transition started to happen, that they ended up going to bed pretty early. They both fell asleep on the couch. We were just chilling. We had just got, they had just got out of the bathroom. We were just chilling. They fell asleep at like 6 45 and I was like, what just happened?
Monica (:Nice.
Nicole (:Why are they sleeping? And they stayed asleep. And I was like, thank Because I was done. I was so done. I know. I was terrified. Well, maybe it was like 7 on the dot. They fell asleep. But normally, they don't fall asleep till like 8.39 sometimes. So I was like, this is early. This is really early for them. And they stayed asleep. I was shocked.
Kelsie (:That's good because I would be so scared if my kids fell asleep at 6 45.
Monica (:I'm so jealous. My kids are- I-
I'm so jealous my kids are boycotting sleep hard hard it's driving me nuts
Nicole (:Mmm. Usually might do.
I literally think the Lord said good night to them yesterday because they were being monsters and he was like, OK, reset. Unplugged, plug back in. They did. They they did. I mean that. All right. OK, we've been yapping for way too long.
Ashley (:You
Monica (:You're done.
Ashley (:They used up all their energy tormenting you.
Monica (:my goodness.

Ashley (:Our fly told her that joke.
Kelsie (:I think they're fucking no, that's two flies fucking I swear to God it is
Nicole (:We're keeping that in.
Ashley (:That's how you keep getting more. They're mating inside of your recording studio.
Kelsie (:I'm not even in the room I'm usually in. This is my parents house. This is... They follow me. They go with me everywhere. Those two flies were fucking. Okay, go ahead. Don't cut that out of this.
Nicole (:Okay, my god. I'm not no it's staying in

Nicole (:Fucking flies. Anyway, that's it
Monica (:can't even handle this episode.
