Episode 26

26 | Going In Bald | A Little Bit Bothered

This week on A Little Bit Bothered, we spiral (as per usual) into all the things making us collectively unwell—starting with Monica’s recent staycation chaos at Great Wolf Lodge, where she forgot her contacts and had to mom her way through a full-blown indoor water park feeling like a legally blind mermaid.

From there, we dive headfirst into the absolute emotional rollercoaster of car buying—aka adulting’s cruelest joke but unavoidable since Kelsie needed a new mom car!

Sprinkle in a couple of cooking fails, a menstruation crustacean, and a healthy dose of “wtf is even going on anymore?” and you've got the group chat.

And because it wouldn’t be us without spiraling into the unexplainable, we get real bothered by the fact that the Annabelle doll is out here going on tour like she's some sort of haunted pop star. Naturally, this sends us into a full-blown convo about paranormal shenanigans, haunted dolls, and whether we’re even emotionally stable enough for ghost drama right now (spoiler: we are not).

In between the spirals, we laugh our way through the everyday mess that is motherhood, relationships, family dynamics, and trying to be functioning humans while our lives are basically one big blooper reel. It’s personal, it’s ridiculous, it’s slightly spooky—and it’s exactly the kind of unhinged fun you expect from your favorite group chat turned podcast.

So grab your caffeine of choice, pull up a seat, and let’s get bothered together.

Ashley (: 01:23

Welcome back.

Monica (: 01:35

Well, it's not that exciting. It's just like bothered weeks, right? Like I have had one of those weeks. It's been a good week. It's been fun, but I've been so forgetful and messing like everything up, like spilling shit on myself. Like, so it's just been one of those weeks, including like I took my kids to the Great Wolf Lodge this week with a bunch of friends. It's super fun. Except the next morning when I woke up at the hotel, I realized I didn't pack

Nicole (: 01:39

Yeah.

You really have. You've had a busy week too.

⁓

Monica (: 02:04

contacts or my glasses. It's like, ⁓ shit, how am going to manage

Mm-hmm.

Kelsie (: 02:06

Mm-hmm. ⁓

Nicole (: 02:08

You was blind.

Monica (: 02:12

this? Thank goodness it was like a staycation and I ended up having a friend bring me my contacts. picked them up at my house. I was okay, but I was very stressed thinking how I'm going to spend the rest of stay in a water park trying to keep an eye on my kids without my contacts. I can't... No, ⁓ my gosh.

Nicole (: 02:28

Could you imagine if you were in a different state and with no way to get your

Ashley (: 02:31

Yeah.

Monica (: 02:33

I thought about that the rest of the day. was like, what would

Nicole (: 02:34

panic?

Monica (: 02:36

I do if I was traveling? Like, what do you do?

Kelsie (: 02:39

I need to know what your prescription is because I physically could- I would have had to just leave like we would have been like sorry we have to go because I can't see I couldn't have driven somebody would have gotten me

Monica (: 02:48

Well, see...

Nicole (: 02:50

wouldn't have been able to drive, yeah.

Monica (: 02:52

I know.

Well, and that's the thing. It's like in the morning I was like, you know, like, I think I'll be fine. I'll be able to get through this. Like it's okay. And by the time we got downstairs for breakfast, I was like, I am not okay. We were going into the line for the buffet and my oldest, I'm like, James, what does that sign say? Like can't read it. Like what is it? It's so stressful.

Ashley (: 03:10

my god.

Nicole (: 03:12

my god,

that have been me. I'm so nearsighted.

Monica (: 03:16

Yeah, I'm nearsighted. was so stressful. I was like navigating it. And then finally, like we figured out that another mom had to go pick up cupcakes and was going to be driving past my house on the way. And I was like, yeah, you're right.

Kelsie (: 03:27

What's your contact

number? I have to know exactly what we're dealing with here.

Monica (: 03:31

think it's

like 1.75. So it's not like the worst. I know you're so much worse, Nelsey. I already know you are so much worse. But like that's what I'm saying. It's like I can function. Yeah, I can function if I have to, but it was not comfortable. And then thank goodness my kids had like neon life jackets and stuff. But by the time we got down to the pool, I had my contacts. So I was okay.

Nicole (: 03:34

Okay, that's not that bad.

Kelsie (: 03:40

I see how you made it though. No, I see how you survived as long as you did. Yeah. Yeah

Ashley (: 03:52

Mm-hmm.

Kelsie (: 03:54

But that's annoying though

because then it's like everything's just a little bit fuzzy. It's not like...

Monica (: 03:58

Well, no, it's not a little bit fuzzy. It is still very much fuzzy. Like I can't read for shit. Like see anything. yeah. Yeah.

Kelsie (: 04:01

No, but I mean, no, no, no, but I mean, it's enough that it's annoying is what I'm saying is like, it's like,

it's not like it's, mostly clear or like, oh, you're completely blurred out. It's like, it's right there in your.

Monica (: 04:13

Yeah, and I don't

Nicole (: 04:14

I'm over

here testing my blindness.

Monica (: 04:15

think I fully realized how I need my glasses and contacts. Because the thing is like, I can move around my house like if I'm up in the morning, like without them, right? And it's fine. Out in public. So anyhow, I was on TikTok and I came across this girl who like the video was her pouring her orange juice into the pan instead of her eggs and then the

Nicole (: 04:31

Mm-mm.

Ashley (: 04:32

Hehe.

Monica (: 04:42

section. So I'm just gonna rapid fire some of these from the comment section just to make all of us feel a little bit better who've had just one of these weeks where we are messing everything up because we're not alone. So here we go. So first one today I stopped at a four way stop waiting for something to turn green. ⁓ I once tried to clean my sea monkeys tank, tipped everything out in the sink, cleaned it, filled it back up and realized I tipped all the grown sea monkeys down the drain.

Kelsie (: 04:43

Salaam alaikum.

Ashley (: 05:09

⁓

Nicole (: 05:12

Murderer!

Ashley (: 05:12

God. ⁓

Monica (: 05:14

I accidentally took a

white claw to work instead of a Celsius.

Ashley (: 05:17

Ha!

Nicole (: 05:17

saw somebody, I saw somebody on TikTok do that at the gym. They were going to the gym. So they drove to the gym, drinking their, what they thought was their Celsius for their pre-workout and they were plastered.

Kelsie (: 05:19

I've seen that before.

Monica (: 05:30

say I have

Kelsie (: 05:31

They are

similar, yeah.

Monica (: 05:32

almost done that like grabbing a white claw when I had energy drinks and I was like wait wait wait wait wrong one so I do get it I do get it some of the cans they look too similar they look similar

Ashley (: 05:36

Mm-hmm. ⁓

Nicole (: 05:40

notice when you're drinking it though

Ashley (: 05:42

Yeah,

you would think you'd taste it.

Nicole (: 05:42

no no when you're drinking it like how do you not know yeah

Monica (: 05:44

Well, I didn't drink it. I caught myself before them, but for them, yes.

Kelsie (: 05:48

would definitely notice the difference between a white claw and an energy drink. A thousand percent.

Ashley (: 05:52

Yeah. Yeah.

Nicole (: 05:52

Yeah, I would.

Monica (: 05:53

Yeah, the moment I tasted

it, would have, I for sure would have. So I don't know how they got that far.

Nicole (: 05:55

I would instantly get a headache.

things, I don't know what it is about White Claws and like the Trulies. I take three sips, instant headache. I don't know what it is. Ugh, they're nasty, first of all, but anytime I have drank them in the past, I have literally gotten a headache, instantaneously. It's very annoying. It's not fun.

Kelsie (: 06:05

I think they're so gross. I hate them.

Ashley (: 06:05

Hmm.

Monica (: 06:05

Huh.

Interesting. Weird. That's very weird. Okay, well,

Ashley (: 06:13

That's weird. Yeah.

Monica (: 06:16

we got some more. So, ⁓ I sat on the toilet and reached behind me for the seatbelt. That one made me laugh. I threw a full glass of water onto my bed and put my phone on my nightstand this morning. I put toilet paper on the counter and my engagement ring in the toilet. That one sucks. I don't know if they recovered the engagement ring though. I hope so. I hope they didn't flush it.

Ashley (: 06:22

Ha ha ha.

Kelsie (: 06:23

Ha ha!

Ashley (: 06:35

⁓

Kelsie (: 06:36

no...

Monica (: 06:42

⁓ drove up to the window at Duncan where the employee and I stared at each other until I realized I didn't order anything at the speaker. I drove off.

Ashley (: 06:47

No.

Kelsie (: 06:49

Listen, okay, I was at Panda Express like a month or two ago. I pulled up, I paid her and she handed me my card and I drove off. didn't even, yeah. I thankfully realized before I left and circled back around and there was no line, but I was like, I pulled up. like, I have no brain. It's fine.

Ashley (: 06:52

cancel.

Nicole (: 06:59

I remember this. I remember that you told us.

Ashley (: 06:59

without.

Monica (: 07:00

I have done that.

I have done

that and then I had to loop back around.

Nicole (: 07:15

like, listen, I'm pregnant.

Monica (: 07:16

See, it's not just us, there's so many

people.

Nicole (: 07:20

Like I'm pregnant and this baby wants Panda Express. Just give it to me, please

Monica (: 07:24

Right.

Kelsie (: 07:24

She

was very nice. She was like, really, I was really hoping you'd come back around.

Nicole (: 07:30

It's so funny.

Monica (: 07:31

That's

pretty, that's pretty funny. Okay, I think this one might be my favorite. After roasting a beautifully herbed chicken, I placed it in a cabinet. Couldn't find it until the next day.

Ashley (: 07:42

my God. No, how could you just give up? You're just like the chicken somewhere. I'm going to bed. No.

Kelsie (: 07:46

How could you give that?

Monica (: 07:46

I don't know. Well, I

guess I'm not eating dinner. Gotta go get Wendy's now, because I can't find my chicken.

Ashley (: 07:51

That's crazy, that's crazy behavior. I lost

the chicken.

Nicole (: 07:58

I wanna know how that went. Was she like, did I dream that I roasted this chicken? like, you know, like she's like, did I hallucinate this?

Kelsie (: 08:05

Okay.

Or she

just looked for so long and just gave up and somehow never checked that cabinet. Yeah.

Nicole (: 08:10

that she was like, fuck it, whatever. Was

Monica (: 08:13

for real.

Nicole (: 08:13

the chicken for that night or was it for like, you know, another, like was it for the next day or something? And she had to like bring the chicken somewhere, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like maybe she thought she put it in the fridge and she actually put it in the cabinet. my God.

Ashley (: 08:20

like it was supposed to be in the fridge maybe and she didn't notice that she didn't put it in the fridge. Yeah, that makes sense.

Monica (: 08:23

yeah.

Kelsie (: 08:24

⁓ she just put it in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

I buy that story, I think.

Monica (: 08:29

Yeah,

yeah. Okay, so next one is I put my mac and cheese into my hamper and my socks into the garbage.

Nicole (: 08:32

piss me off.

Ashley (: 08:36

⁓ man.

Nicole (: 08:37

I've done that.

I have put stuff in my garbage can that's not supposed to go in my garbage can a bajillion times and I'm like, wait, wait, what?

Kelsie (: 08:43

Mm-hmm.

Monica (: 08:43

Ashley (: 08:44

Monica (: 08:46

my phone in the refrigerator before so.

Ashley (: 08:47

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 08:48

Yep.

⁓

Kelsie (: 08:49

I left my phone in a lot of places that they should not be.

Monica (: 08:54

Yeah, same,

same. Okay, and then last one. I threw my phone in a Chicago dumpster and walked away with my empty Starbucks cup.

Ashley (: 09:01

⁓ my god, no.

Kelsie (: 09:02

⁓ man...

Nicole (: 09:03

⁓ no,

because now you gotta climb in and that's a Chicago dumpster. Good luck, buddy.

Ashley (: 09:06

No.

Monica (: 09:08

Right. So anyhow, I found this comment section at just the right time when I was just, this week was just something else. And I found it and was like, it's not just me. We all suck. This is great.

Kelsie (: 09:08

That's a bummer.

Nicole (: 09:13

When you needed it you needed it

Kelsie (: 09:19

I'm

Ashley (: 09:20

ha ha ha ha!

Nicole (: 09:20

We all suck!

Yeah, we all do. I took vitamins on an empty stomach this morning and threw up. So yeah, we all suck.

Ashley (: 09:24

That's great.

⁓ that's happened to me before. That's not fun.

Kelsie (: 09:32

Mm-hmm. ⁓

Nicole (: 09:32

It was just not good.

No, I just wasn't ready to eat like I don't eat first thing when I wake up and I took the stupid vitamins first thing when I woke up because I wanted to take them last night when I went to bed it was literally just vitamin C and zinc because I wasn't feeling good and I was like well I'll just take them when I wake up I took them I was literally making myself food and as I'm making myself food I had to turn to my sink and just thank God I didn't have anything to throw up but

Ashley (: 09:38

Mm-hmm.

Monica (: 09:56

that's the worst.

Ashley (: 09:58

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 10:02

You know, I only like water, but it was so bad. I was like, this is the worst. This is the worst.

Ashley (: 10:02

Yeah, that'll getcha. Yeah.

Kelsie (: 10:05

Yeah. I hate that.

Cause then it's like, ⁓ can I take, should I take another one or like did it like, or is it still in there? Like what's

Nicole (: 10:14

Yeah. I didn't. I said, fuck it. I because it had

Ashley (: 10:14

Redo. ⁓

Monica (: 10:16

Yeah, can I have a redo? Or am I not okay?

Nicole (: 10:20

been it had been like an hour after I took it. So was like, I'm fine. It's probably fine. But I was not going to take another one after that. Fuck that. I was even nervous to eat my breakfast after that because I was like, I don't feel good already. Like, and now I just threw up. Do I really want to eat now? But I forced myself to eat and then I did feel better. So I was like, OK.

Monica (: 10:29

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 10:29

Yeah.

Ashley (: 10:29

Yeah,

then you really don't want one anymore.

Kelsie (: 10:36

Yeah, it just fucks you up. It just ruins everything.

Ashley (: 10:40

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 10:43

Yeah.

Nicole (: 10:43

It was

just, obviously it was just the vitamins. Cause that was my first thought, but then I was like, what if it's not? What if I'm actually puking? Like you never know.

Monica (: 10:50

Mm-hmm.

Kelsie (: 10:52

Yeah,

it's scary. It's a mindfuck.

when

we came home from our Colorado trip, I got really sick. It started with like a sore throat. I don't know if you guys remember it started with a sore throat. And then the next day, all of a sudden I was throwing up. So it was like two totally symptoms that shouldn't have anything to do with each other was happening to me at the same in the same sickness. And so like this morning I had a sore throat and I was like, not again, not again.

Kelsie (: 11:11

Ashley (: 11:28

Well, this is better. Yeah, it's better that it was just the vitamins.

Kelsie (: 11:28

No...

Ashley (: 11:37

⁓ I haven't done that in a long time, but the last time I did, it

was when I started taking the beef liver supplements again, and all I had was the fucking beef liver supplements and like a sip of water to swallow them and then coffee. That's all I had drank. And then afterwards, I was like, after I threw up, I was like, bitch, that was so stupid. Like.

Nicole (: 11:46

no. ⁓

Monica (: 11:50

Okay.

Kelsie (: 11:50

Hmm?

Monica (: 11:53

That sounds like the absolute worst freaking vitamins to throw up. my gosh, that makes me gross out now. I cannot handle that. I think I would be done taking them at that point. I don't think I could continue to take that supplement.

Nicole (: 11:54

Beef liver and coffee. Not good, not good.

Ashley (: 12:00

Yeah. Yeah.

Nicole (: 12:05

Yeah, right? I don't know if I could.

Nicole (: 12:13

She's not happy to relive that memory.

Monica (: 12:14

No,

I have like trauma with liver because my parents, my dad was a hunter, like he hunted growing up. And so, you know, when you hunt, like you eat the whole animal, which I get, I stand behind. However, liver and onions.

be eating the liver, no.

Monica (: 12:33

No, and the

worst part is that my mom cooked it with like bacon and said, smelled all good. And we started eating dinner and they refused to tell us what we were eating. And halfway through it was like, these are the brown onions and you guys love them. We're like, that I know, I don't love it anymore. I don't remember actually liking them, but ⁓ my mom swears we all loved it at first. I don't know. So I've got trauma with it. She would.

Nicole (: 15:19

That would be untrustworthy there. would get them in Japan. That would make sense. I wouldn't probably not get them in Kansas.

Monica (: 15:24

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I might try them

Ashley (: 15:25

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 15:26

I don't know if they have

Monica (: 15:27

in Japan, but

Kelsie (: 15:27

them. Well, we go, like the place where he gets them now is Gaikaku. It's like a nationwide chain. So it's not like a backwards Kansas. No, it's very good. It's like one of those Japanese grills. No, no, no, no, no, it's very good. It's like a Japanese grill where the grill's in the middle of your table. It's very good. Yes, yes. Well, not a hibachi, but yeah.

Ashley (: 15:28

Yeah.

Nicole (: 15:37

even less untrustworthy, I think. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, gotcha. the hibachi. Yeah, yeah.

Ashley (: 15:39

I don't know if that makes it worse or better.

okay, okay. Ooh, I love hibachi grill. my God, that

sounds so good.

Nicole (: 15:51

Well, yeah, that's the grills are in middle of your table at home at hibachi restaurants.

Ashley (: 15:55

tapenaki,

that's what it's called.

when they cook in the middle of your table. Isn't that a tapenyaki table?

Kelsie (: 16:00

They don't

Nicole (: 16:00

Is that not hibachi?

Kelsie (: 16:01

cook

it. No, no, they're not cooking it. You're cooking it.

Ashley (: 16:04

⁓ you're talking about the other. we got it.

Nicole (: 16:04

⁓ that's you. That

Monica (: 16:04

⁓ okay.

Kelsie (: 16:08

Yes,

Nicole (: 16:08

is like, can't why do I and you are doing it. Why can't I think of what that's called?

Kelsie (: 16:09

where the grill is literally in the middle of your table and you're cooking it. Yes, yes, But they make the takoyaki. That's a pre-made thing.

Ashley (: 16:11

and you grill it. I've actually never done that before, but I know what you're talking about.

Monica (: 16:13

⁓ okay.

Ashley (: 16:17

Wow, this is getting complicated. An octopus is a mollusk, it says, so that is why they are in the shellfish family, a broader category of shellfish, but they're mollusks. I don't know, that is very confusing.

Kelsie (: 16:20

Yes.

Nicole (: 16:20

I can't think of what it's called.

Monica (: 16:21

That's a lot of work.

Hmm, a mollusk

Kelsie (: 16:27

Mm-hmm.

Monica (: 16:31

Interesting. I would

Nicole (: 16:31

That's odd. No, they're not.

Kelsie (: 16:31

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 16:34

They're from an entirely different planet. They're aliens. They're not. They're not shellfish. Have you guys, have you ever watched the show Resident Alien? It's very, very funny. And there's an octopus in that show and they're like, they make it an alien character. it just, that's now every time I think about octopuses, I think about the alien in that show and I'm like, hey.

Monica (: 16:34

not have guessed that they were in the mollusk family.

Ashley (: 16:37

No, that's weird. They put them in the wrong place, I feel. Yeah.

Monica (: 16:39

They are aliens, I agree. I think that they're

aliens just, just, no.

Kelsie (: 16:47

Yeah.

Ashley (: 16:48

No.

Monica (: 16:50

feel like I...

Kelsie (: 16:50

it is.

Nicole (: 17:01

Theyre Aliens anyway, okay.

Monica (: 17:04

That's funny. Okay, so wait, speaking of trips, so I have something that you guys need to see.

Nicole (: 17:06

Mmm.

Monica (: 17:11

I think I have an idea for our next girls trip. So I found this place. It's in the UK. So looks like we're going overseas.

Kelsie (: 17:18

you

Nicole (: 17:18

Ashley (: 17:18

my god.

Nicole (: 17:19

need to get my passport. I'm down. I want to sleep in a cocoon, but also at low key looks terrifying. ⁓ I'm okay with that.

Monica (: 17:23

Right? Okay, so you get to hang out in a hammock and they brush your hair and then it's a sound bath. And

some moms bring in their babies and they just lay in the hammock with their baby and they take a nap. Like, this sounds so freaking incredible.

Nicole (: 17:39

Yeah, sounds great, but without the baby. Yes, if this is for you and you're, is it a little creepy? It's a little creepy. I also, I would do it. It's cool. I would do it.

Kelsie (: 17:42

Yeah, just... If you have no other choice, I support it, yes.

Ashley (: 17:42

without the baby.

Monica (: 17:43

Yeah.

Ashley (: 17:46

No, you know what? This is kind of freaking me out. I don't like this. This is freaking me out.

Monica (: 17:48

you know, like if you, it is a little creepy, but also I'm like, I kind of love it.

Kelsie (: 17:49

Yeah.

Ashley (: 17:56

There's so many people hanging in there.

Monica (: 17:58

I know. I know.

Kelsie (: 17:59

I don't even care. Just

the thought of getting my hair brushed while I'm in this thing is enough for me to say yes.

Monica (: 18:03

Right?

Nicole (: 18:03

huh. And a sound bath?

I'm down.

Monica (: 18:04

And one of the options is like red light therapy. So you lay in there with like the red lights all on and like you just.

Nicole (: 18:09

And I love a hammock. I sleep so

good in hammocks. I'm down

Monica (: 18:13

Okay. Freaking A.

Nicole (: 18:14

So it

looks like it looks like we're going to the UK then I need to get a passport. I don't have one

Monica (: 18:21

Yeah,

I don't either.

Kelsie (: 18:22

Surely

Ashley (: 18:23

don't

have a passport either.

Kelsie (: 18:23

that has to exist. That has to exist somewhere here.

Monica (: 18:25

No it doesn't Kelsey. This is the reason we get an excuse to go to the UK.

Ashley (: 18:26

Well, you could just hang up a hammock and... I mean...

Nicole (: 18:26

We got to look, I guess.

Kelsie (: 18:28

⁓ we want to go to the UK. Okay, okay, okay, okay,

Nicole (: 18:31

Yeah,

Kelsie (: 18:31

okay,

Nicole (: 18:31

I've never been, obviously, because I don't have a passport. So let's go. Yeah.

Kelsie (: 18:31

okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm down. I'm down. Yeah, it might be a while. I don't have a post for it. Jakes.

Ashley (: 18:33

It seems like it's gonna delay our travels if we're waiting for the UK. A bitch don't even have a passport. No bitches even

Monica (: 18:39

I don't either, so.

Ashley (: 18:41

have a passport. None of us have a passport. Me neither. I don't either.

Monica (: 18:41

I don't even have the travel ID for Arizona, okay? So, I can't get on a plane.

Nicole (: 18:42

Nope.

Kelsie (: 18:45

I don't even have the real, I don't have the

real ID, I can't either. Well, I actually probably could with my military ID, but it's expired right now, so I have to go get it renewed.

Nicole (: 18:49

Wow.

Ashley (: 18:50

We can't go anywhere. We're actually stuck.

I do think there's other,

Nicole (: 18:55

Well.

Ashley (: 18:56

there's ways, there's workarounds. I don't know what they are, cause I have no air travel planned, but I actually probably should figure that out.

Monica (: 19:01

Yeah, I don't know. I know May 7th was

Nicole (: 19:02

So.

Monica (: 19:04

like the big deadline. So I don't know if there are any other workarounds now.

Ashley (: 19:06

Yeah, it's past.

No, no, no, it said there was, I saw a thing that said these are the things you could bring if you don't have the real idea, but I didn't click to see what they were.

Kelsie (: 19:12

You have to get there super early

and like... It's like how you can do it. Yeah. Yeah.

Monica (: 19:15

Sounds like a big pain in the ass. I'd rather just go to the DMV.

Ashley (: 19:16

I'm sure it's a hassle.

Nicole (: 19:17

I think that real ID is so dumb.

Ashley (: 19:20

Yeah.

Monica (: 19:20

Well, I'm so annoyed because mine, I tried to like get it online and apparently I need a new photo. So I have to actually go down, which I'm kind of okay with because I absolutely hate my photo, but still I don't want to go make an appointment and go there and do all of that.

Nicole (: 19:26

So they don't let you, yeah.

Ashley (: 19:32

Mm.

Kelsie (: 19:36

I just think it's annoying

that you need all these things, you have to go with all these things, and plus, as if you're a woman and you're married and you don't have your last name that you were born with, then you have to take your marriage license and it's like, fuck off.

Nicole (: 19:38

Little tip.

Monica (: 19:44

Uhhhh

Nicole (: 19:45

well, yes, that's what happened to me. That's what happened to

me getting my Texas license and it was delayed because I couldn't find my marriage license. So I didn't get my Texas license for a long time. ⁓ Well, yeah, don't think I don't think if you're already in this, I think if you're already in the system, it might be okay, but maybe not for the real ID. Well, I don't think it is in Arizona. I would just, you know, just in case I would bring it but in Arizona.

Ashley (: 19:53

Mmm.

Monica (: 19:53

Well, good to know, because I wouldn't have brought that again. I'd be like, I'm already in your system. That's not my name anymore.

Kelsie (: 20:04

In Missouri, it's not, yeah.

Monica (: 20:06

Hmm.

Ashley (: 20:07

you still have to bring it every time?

Monica (: 20:10

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 20:11

I think for the first time of getting

the real ID.

Nicole (: 20:14

I think, yeah, well, if it's the first time getting the real ID, just in case. Also, another tip for you Arizonas, ⁓ go to a third party. A lot of them do licensing services now, and they're so much easier, like, in and out.

Monica (: 20:14

Hmm.

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 20:17

Yeah.

Monica (: 20:23

Yeah.

Ashley (: 20:24

Yeah, faster.

Monica (: 20:25

Yeah, that's what I saw when I was looking at it and I was like,

okay, that sounds good. But now I need to coordinate getting my husband. Cause the thing is he hates flying. So this is his out and he's like, no, I guess we can't take any trips. That sucks. So now I need to figure out how to get him to the fricking place to go to get a new ID. in the ass. I guess not. I guess he's not coming to the UK.

Nicole (: 20:35

Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna fly, oh. So you think, sir.

Ashley (: 20:36

can't fly.

Kelsie (: 20:38

Thank

Ashley (: 20:44

Yeah.

Nicole (: 20:44

That's okay, he's not coming to the UK with us, it's fine. Just kidding.

Um, I was gonna say something relevant to this and I forgot, it doesn't matter. next. Okay, wow, wow, really? What is wrong with my brain? I'm on one today.

Kelsie (: 20:51

I'm sure he's so disappointed about that.

Ashley (: 20:53

Yeah.

well good try.

You

Kelsie (: 21:10

You are really on it today.

Monica (: 21:10

Yeah, you've got all

of the songs just coming out. ⁓

Nicole (: 21:16

A new box! Jesus Christ!

Kelsie (: 21:16

This is like, yeah, you should,

you should, this would be a great day for you to play that game where you, flip a card and it has a word on it and you have to name a song with the word. You'd be really good at it today.

Nicole (: 21:25

Yeah, yeah,

Monica (: 21:26

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 21:26

I would be super good at it today. Have you guys ever watched that show that's like the Shazam show? Yeah, I love that. would my mom, my mom was really into playing that like watching that for a time. So I would just sit there and like scream at the TV with her. It was fun. Come

Kelsie (: 21:32

Yeah.

Monica (: 21:33

No, but that sounds fun.

Ashley (: 21:35

I don't know if I have either.

god, something

Nicole (: 21:43

real IDAs.

Ashley (: 21:45

so annoying happened to Kelsey, I know that.

Nicole (: 21:47

Yes, something very annoying did happen to Kelsey.

Kelsie (: 21:48

Yes, I what

Monica (: 21:49

⁓ what happened to

you, Kels?

Kelsie (: 21:50

I'm bothered by this week is fucking un- I don't even know what to call them. Those motherfucking dealerships, man.

Ashley (: 21:57

You

Nicole (: 21:59

and professional and like

Monica (: 22:02

gosh,

Nicole (: 22:03

Monica (: 22:03

they're the worst. With the fist! ⁓

Ashley (: 22:03

with the fists. She's shaking her fist at him.

Nicole (: 22:03

unprofessional they're like

Kelsie (: 22:05

I'm shaking my face, if you're listening,

I'm shaking my fist in fury. Okay, we've been looking at this van across the state for like over a week and we've been in talks with them and it's just been like ironing down a time that we can make the trip across the state to go see this van and very like 98 % sure we were gonna buy it unless there was like something

Ashley (: 22:27

Mm-hmm. ⁓

Kelsie (: 22:34

crazy when we got there. So I asked multiple times, what do we have to do to put this on hold? Because we're not driving to be having this sold out from under us. Multiple, multiple times, at least four times. And they said, you have to schedule an appointment, and then we can talk about holding it.

Monica (: 22:44

Mm-hmm.

Kelsie (: 23:03

We're going to go Thursday, Wednesday. My husband like sets the exact time with them. We'll be there by 11. You know, we have everything. We have a check ready to go, you know? Okay, cool. We set off in the morning at like 630 takeoff and we get, we get, no, we got my mom to come down and

Monica (: 23:23

Such an early start too.

Ashley (: 23:25

With the kids, right? You have the boys.

Kelsie (: 23:33

take Maddis to school and take, and with Maverick, like she came down to help that so we could go alone and not have to take them. We get over halfway there. So we've driven two and a half hours at this point.

Ashley (: 23:35

Mmm.

Mm.

Kelsie (: 23:50

And we pull over to charge, because we have Tesla. We pull over to charge. And this, as we're pulling over, the dealership calls. And it's the sales manager. And he's like, ⁓ and you can just tell why his voice is not good. He's like, ⁓ so I don't know if you were planning to see any other vehicles while you were.

here but ⁓ that van that you were interested in sold last night and we're like are you kidding me? Because we talked to them around 5pm and he's like well they probably didn't call you because it sold around 9pm I'm like call me at fucking midnight I don't care when you call me if you sell the vehicle yeah they had texted us a million times I'm like if you sell the vehicle you know we're coming for somebody should send a

Nicole (: 24:21

last night.

the night before.

Doesn't matter.

Ashley (: 24:33

Leave a message.

Kelsie (: 24:44

fucking message. It's not like they didn't know we made it. We, mean, like we said, we've been talking for a week. We, they knew we were coming from across the state. Like, ⁓ yeah.

Ashley (: 24:53

All they care about is the sale and they got the sale

Nicole (: 24:54

Stupid. Yeah.

Ashley (: 24:56

so that what you guys weren't they were like

Monica (: 24:56

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 24:56

Yeah.

Monica (: 24:58

Yep. Somebody was there with the money and they were like, go.

Nicole (: 24:59

not as read

Kelsie (: 25:00

Well,

it would also help if they didn't, if there's like, I'm telling you, we talked to like so many different people this whole time. It's like, assign one person to one customer and like not, you're passing around to a thousand different people all the time. Of course, lines are going to get crossed. Like,

Ashley (: 25:16

Yeah.

Monica (: 25:17

Mm-hmm.

Ashley (: 25:23

Yeah, that's weird.

Nicole (: 25:24

Yeah, that's not okay. It's so unprofessional.

Kelsie (: 25:25

It's just crazy.

Monica (: 25:25

It's so frustrating. I hate buying cars. It's

Ashley (: 25:28

Mm-hmm.

Monica (: 25:28

so obnoxious and stressful.

Ashley (: 25:31

That is why last time I did Carvana and they dropped my car off at my house. Yeah, it was fantastic. It was, yeah. And actually ⁓ we bought a bunch of cars because we had the car rental business, you know, and multiple times did we buy cars, not even just through Carvana where they just brought them to our house and we signed the papers and they left. And that's like the best thing that's ever happened. And that's basically what Carvana does. Cause

Nicole (: 25:31

Listen, I've only bought one car from a dealership and it went fine. Did you like it? Did you have, you had a really good experience?

Kelsie (: 25:52

That's amazing. I

Nicole (: 25:53

That's awesome.

Kelsie (: 25:54

looked on Carvana, we didn't really have what we were wanting. But I did look out there because I was like, if they could deliver this to my door, I would be so happy.

Nicole (: 25:54

Yeah.

Ashley (: 25:58

Yeah.

It's so nice. You don't

have to deal with the salesmen. They're so fucking annoying. I'd rather not.

Nicole (: 26:06

Well, that's the thing. It's the salesmen

Monica (: 26:06

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 26:08

that just like, obviously they work on commission. Obviously they need to make their money and they need, you know, I get it, but like a little bit, a little integrity would be nice. You literally could have text. They could have sent a text message. They could have left a message.

Monica (: 26:09

Yeah.

Ashley (: 26:13

They're so annoying.

No.

Kelsie (: 26:18

We had a sales lady this time. We bought a van today.

Ashley (: 26:22

Mmm.

Kelsie (: 26:23

⁓ that's important context to this. We found a van closer. Thank the Lord. We bought it. We bought it. it was a little more than the other one, but it's okay. It's newer too. ⁓ no, we had a sales lady and she was wonderful.

Nicole (: 26:28

They got the van. They still got the van. Hopefully a better van.

Ashley (: 26:32

It was meant to be.

Mm.

Kelsie (: 26:45

it was much better. And we told them and they're like, no, if you we've had people hold cars for like a month, like if you put a car on hold with us, it's not going anywhere. No one's touching it.

Monica (: 26:55

What?

So... Yeah, that makes the other situation even more infuriating.

Nicole (: 26:56

That's wild.

Ashley (: 26:59

slimy.

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 27:04

Yeah.

Monica (: 27:04

It's like,

I think it's even more frustrating because right now so many people are trying to buy cars with like all the tariffs and like whatever, you know, going on. And so it's like, if you're putting down a hold, like there's a really good chance you're gonna fall through and buy it. So to just sell it out from under you with no communication is just wild to me. It's not Facebook marketplace, it's true. Do you still have?

Nicole (: 27:12

Yeah.

so rude. It's not Facebook marketplace. It's a frickin' dealership. It's not first come first serve.

Kelsie (: 27:29

I just think it's terrible communication.

Nicole (: 27:31

Yeah, that's awful, terrible.

Ashley (: 27:32

It was just bad customer service. I don't even, I mean...

Monica (: 27:33

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 27:33

I mean, if they made that sale at 9 p.m., the chances that that person was already there working on trying to purchase it at five is probably, yeah, literally. We were there so long. We were there yesterday and today. Yeah, yeah.

Nicole (: 27:42

is high, very high, because it takes hours. We all know this. There's no way that person came in at nine. Right. Yeah, you guys

Monica (: 27:43

Mm hmm. So long.

Ashley (: 27:47

Mm-hmm.

Mm-mm.

Nicole (: 27:53

were looking at

the van like all day yesterday almost it seemed like. Because you were test driving. Yeah. Yeah.

Monica (: 27:55

Mm-hmm. ⁓

Ashley (: 27:56

Yeah, that's so annoying. It's too much.

Kelsie (: 27:57

Yeah, and then we were there all the finalizing took all morning today. So it's like,

you're not going to tell me that they weren't already actively trying to purchase the van when we were trying to like, yeah.

Monica (: 28:06

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 28:09

put it on hold. Yeah.

Ashley (: 28:10

then why tell you there's a whole like you can hold it at all? Why even say that you can hold it? Like that's that's what's annoying.

Nicole (: 28:12

Yeah, why tell you exactly? Yep. Yeah, that was

Monica (: 28:13

Great.

Nicole (: 28:16

their there was their mess up for sure.

Kelsie (: 28:17

That's just that's what I'm saying is like, I

don't even think they communicate or like, just so many lines crossing there that they're just not a good they were not running the ship very well.

Nicole (: 28:24

Yeah.

Well,

Ashley (: 28:29

Zero out of 10. Do not recommend.

Nicole (: 28:29

well obviously it wasn't meant to be. Maybe that van will end up having some kind of weird like recall on it or something and it's not meant to be like so.

Kelsie (: 28:34

Yeah, that's what I said. was like, I was like, yeah, it was not meant

Ashley (: 28:35

Yeah.

Nope, wasn't meant to be.

Monica (: 28:39

Mm-hmm.

Kelsie (: 28:41

something was not meant to be with that. And that's okay. Because I actually really like what we got. It's like all blacked out. And I like it. Yeah.

Nicole (: 28:43

Yeah. Yep. That's good. Oh, heck yeah. Nice.

Ashley (: 28:46

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 28:50

That's good. That's good. I'm bothered. I am bothered by something and Kelsey is also bothered by the same something so it's like a twofer. I'm bothered by the fact that they are and I don't even know who they is. What is their name? Paranormal state?

Kelsie (: 28:51

Anywho, Nicole's bothered by something.

Monica (: 29:00

Eww.

Ashley (: 29:08

you

Nicole (: 29:10

These people of paranormal state, think it is. And I'm not sure if it's a show or if it's a podcast or whatever it is. These paranormal people are moving the Annabelle doll from Ed and Lorraine's freaking museum of actual haunted objects and possessed things where it has been safely secured for like, I don't know, at least 20 years. I don't know like how long she's actually been

Kelsie (: 29:10

I don't know.

museum.

where it has been safely secured and...

Nicole (: 29:39

been in their possession for, but a long time. ⁓ And now they're literally taking her on tour, taking her on tour. were in tour, they were in Louisiana and people, you Louisiana, like New Orleans is a big kind of like hoodoo voodoo, very paranormal place. The people that live there believe in that stuff. There were literally people in the street.

Ashley (: 29:47

Ew. Tour.

Mm-hmm.

Monica (: 30:02

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 30:06

casting the demon out. They were like, we don't want you here. Go back to hell, Annabelle. Like all these things. Because they were taking her from her van and then into the whatever facility they were doing. So it was like like live shows they're doing with her. no, it's gross. Yeah. Well, sort of. Ashley was not there. ⁓

Ashley (: 30:12

Eww.

Monica (: 30:20

No thank you.

Kelsie (: 30:20

Listen, I'm telling you, we were talking about this. Me and Nicole, we were all talking about this in the group chat. ⁓ I mean, we were in the group chat. were, yeah, we were, and Nicole.

Monica (: 30:29

Hahaha

Ashley (: 30:29

You two were talking about it. You two were talking. No.

Monica (: 30:32

chimed in because I was like, give me context.

I don't remember who Annabelle is.

Nicole (: 30:35

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 30:37

But.

Ashley (: 30:37

No, I

heard Annabelle and I was like, no, I'm not listening to this. It was late. Yeah.

Nicole (: 30:39

Nope, she exited the conversation. Yeah,

Monica (: 30:39

Nope.

Kelsie (: 30:40

We were talking about it at night. Yeah, it was

late. I was like, and I kept getting it in my TikTok feed. And I was just like, I was interested, even though I think it's dumb. I was interested. So I was, I kept watching them and Nicole's like, no, I'm, I won't even, I'm not even going to watch those. And then like literally the video I was watching when she said that was one of the guys that's on the team. That's like a, has to do with this tour and moving her around. And he's talking about

Nicole (: 30:43

it was really late.

Yeah, it's horrible.

No, I'm not giving it any energy because I can't.

Kelsie (: 31:09

how, because a lot of people are like, ⁓ Lorraine specifically said never to move the Annabelle doll. Like, they would not want this. And so he was explaining why they would totally be okay with it. And I'm just like watching him not paying attention. And then all of a sudden I like zone in on what's around him and the freaking doll is literally the case right behind him. And so I look her right in the eyeballs and I'm like, okay, well, I'm probably with Nicole on this. I'm not going to watch this. Then I go to sleep and I

Nicole (: 31:14

They would not want this. They would literally not want this.

No they would not.

Bye.

Kelsie (: 31:39

proceed to have the worst dream I've had in so long and it was so, it was like very sleep paralysis. I think we've had an episode where we've talked about sleep paralysis, but I was like, you know, when you're...

Nicole (: 31:45

Mm-mm. Yeah. That's the episode I discovered

Ashley (: 31:46

Ick. Yeah.

Monica (: 31:47

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 31:50

I had sleep paralysis. Thank you very much. I don't like that. Know you're in a dream?

Kelsie (: 31:52

You know when you're in a dream, you're in a dream and you wake up and you're, you

don't know you're in a dream because it's literally happening in your bed. you're, you're like the dream is happening where you're in bed. And so when you wake up, you're in the exact same spot and you don't know what's real and what's not. That's what was happening. There was like a demon in my room, like fucking with me. And so I don't know what, so I was trying, when I knew I was awake, I was trying to make myself.

Monica (: 32:00

Yeah, those are the worst.

Nicole (: 32:01

Yeah.

Monica (: 32:04

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 32:04

Yeah,

it's a dream within the dream. Yeah, so you don't know. Hate that. Yeah. No.

Ashley (: 32:12

Ugh.

Nicole (: 32:13

Mm-mm.

Monica (: 32:14

No, thank you.

Kelsie (: 32:19

stay awake so I wouldn't slip back into it and I kept falling back to sleep right into it. And then the weirdest part, I don't think I told you guys this, was after the demon finally went away, I had a dream that my dog walked up and they sleep in their kennels like downstairs. She walked up to the side of my bed and she growled. My dog has never growled in her life and she couldn't come in my... But anyways, it was like I was... I couldn't tell what was dream and not. So I like wake up and I'm like...

Nicole (: 32:20

Yeah.

Ashley (: 32:21

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 32:37

Oh, I don't know.

that that was not real. Yeah, I hate that.

Ashley (: 32:45

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Kelsie (: 32:48

I'm like, are you there Lilo? Like she wasn't there. And then I fall right back to sleep because I'm like, she's not there. And then she's like calling me and I'm like.

Nicole (: 32:50

No.

No,

Ashley (: 32:58

my god.

Nicole (: 32:59

you just woke up in the city like respond in the same spot in the dream. I hate that. I hate that. I hate that so much. That happens a lot to me too. But what what I hate in in those moments in the in between where you actually do wake up to me it feels like like you're ripping apart Velcro or like you're trying to like move through like sludge or like so you know like like that's the only way I know how to describe it and I freaking hate it.

Kelsie (: 33:02

Yes, I keep, I do that a lot. But the fact that like, I think it was the Annabelle doll, because like honestly, it was crazy.

Ashley (: 33:02

Yeah, that's hell.

Monica (: 33:02

respond.

Probably.

Ashley (: 33:19

Mm. Mm-hmm.

Kelsie (: 33:24

That was the problem with this is that that

wasn't even like that like normally in sleep paralysis It's like you can feel yourself tugging out of it This was so fluid in between that I couldn't tell what was real and what wasn't real and I was awful I was like, ⁓ It's so bad

Nicole (: 33:32

Tugging, yeah. that's worse. I think that's worse. I think that's worse. I hate that. I hate that.

Monica (: 33:40

That is horrible.

Nicole (: 33:41

I'm bothered by that too. It's the doll. She did it. That literally, that has been bothering me. I'm like, why would they move this thing? And let's just take it on tour like she's fucking Elvis. Like, can we not? Like, the fuck? Stop. Like, she don't, she don't, I don't, she's in, probably because.

Ashley (: 33:43

Yeah, that's gross.

Kelsie (: 33:44

Yes. Yeah.

Monica (: 33:44

Yeah.

Ashley (: 33:52

Where's she gonna wind up? Where are they moving her to? And where's she going? Is she coming here? Is she going there?

Monica (: 33:55

She's Elvis.

Kelsie (: 33:59

She's doing a whole tour, I

think.

Nicole (: 34:01

was in Louisiana just a couple days ago and I think now she's in San Antonio. I saw a comment on a completely unrelated, like I guess it wasn't unrelated completely, but it was ⁓ like another ⁓ lady that talks about ghosts that is like sometimes in my feed. Somebody commented on her video saying like the Annabelle doll is in San Antonio. I'm in Dallas. That's still too close. And I'm like,

Ashley (: 34:26

Mm.

Nicole (: 34:27

I'm

not far from Dallas, so that's too close fucking for me too. Like goodbye. Get her out of the state completely. And I know the state's really big, but get her out. I don't want her here. Leave. And the crazy thing is we're having really rowdy weather today. And I'm like, it's her fault. It's her fault. She's doing it. I mean, the weather, the weather, the weather's not where she is. It's North, but still like I blame it on her.

Kelsie (: 34:30

Thank

Ashley (: 34:30

Mm-hmm.

Monica (: 34:43

It's her fault.

Ashley (: 34:44

It's fucking Annabelle.

Monica (: 34:47

everything is blamed on Annabelle right now.

Kelsie (: 34:50

Yeah. Well, that's it's

they are like everyone is blaming it because like a plantation in New Orleans, like a big plant, like popular one caught on fire, like in whole thing is in flames and they're like, it's because Annabelle came.

Nicole (: 34:59

Set on fire, caught on fire, literally.

to the point where they could not get

it under control. They could not, there was no saving that. And it was like a historic monument, obviously. I saw somebody make like kind of a joke about it before. It was like when you're a firefighter and you roll up to the plantation fire and they pan to the firefighter and it's a black guy. And he was like, nope. And just like walked away. And I was like, that's actually pretty damn funny. I was like, that's pretty, yeah. I was like, that's pretty funny. Like, okay, I get it. That's pretty funny. But like for the...

Kelsie (: 35:08

Yeah.

Let it burn. The song was, let it burn. Yeah, it was funny.

Monica (: 35:25

You can go.

Ashley (: 35:26

Hahaha

Ha ha.

Monica (: 35:30

Yeah,

let that one go.

Nicole (: 35:32

for the landmark and for like the history of and how just how old it was like that's crazy for it to now catch on fire and not be able to be put out like after so many years like suspicious yeah suspicious don't be suspicious don't be suspicious I need to stop this is getting out of control

Ashley (: 35:39

Yeah, after so long.

Kelsie (: 35:40

Yeah, there

was quite a few comments that were like, well, Annabelle was just here. So, yep.

Monica (: 35:48

There it is again.

Kelsie (: 35:54

What about you Monica Ashley? Either of you got bothered? Things? Just your contacts?

Monica (: 35:59

I mean, yeah.

Nicole (: 35:59

Monica's contacts situation

Ashley (: 36:01

Well, Monica had her contacts thing.

Monica (: 36:01

Well, that and like, okay, actually, yes. So along with that week, right? I told you guys about how I had burned my stomach, right, from my heating pads. So backstory for our listeners. So if you remember, I had a mommy makeover, right? And the skin underneath my belly button. No, you can laugh, it's stupid because like, this is my life. This is the shit that happens to my life. Like, this is normal.

Kelsie (: 36:13

you

Nicole (: 36:19

I'm not laughing at her. I am not laughing at her.

Monica (: 36:29

So the skin underneath, no, no, I will. Yep. Yep. Yep. This is it.

Nicole (: 36:30

The way that you explained it the other day though when you said about okay, you're gonna say that okay? God cuz that was

the funniest thing I've heard in a long time, so please

Monica (: 36:38

So the skin underneath my belly button

is still numb. I can't feel it at all. And last month I had the worst period cramps since I went and grabbed a heating pad and had it on my stomach. And I even thought about it. This is why I'm so pissed about it. Is I even thought about it where I'm like, I can't feel this. I don't want to burn myself. And so I kept lifting it up and checking and like feeling the temperature with my hand and like, like taking it on and off. Like I would thought I was being wise. And then the next morning,

Nicole (: 37:07

You thought you got it.

Monica (: 37:09

I went to go get dressed and I realized that I had blisters on my skin that I'd burned myself so bad. And I'm so pissed because this is the equivalent of why I can't wear white t-shirt because I will spill my coffee on it so like I get a new stomach, I burn it.

Nicole (: 37:14

You

Ashley (: 37:14

Mmm.

Kelsie (: 37:17

See you.

Ashley (: 37:17

So crazy.

Kelsie (: 37:31

you

Monica (: 37:33

Then you guys,

you guys, I was making breakfast this morning and I'm wearing a sports bra because I just been outside doing yard work and so I'm just wearing my sports bra and I'm making breakfast.

Nicole (: 37:41

god.

Ashley (: 37:48

No.

Nicole (: 37:49

Did you

burn it again?

Monica (: 37:51

I'm so annoyed, like I don't even understand how my life is my life. Like how did things like this happen to me? So I'm cooking and I'm like frying up some eggs and somehow out of like the pan, like somehow oil splattered and I burned myself in two more spots on my stomach. Thank goodness, not as bad as what it was. Like it's not blister, it's just like, it's a little bit of burn. But then. ⁓

Nicole (: 37:57

How have you made it this long?

Ashley (: 38:09

⁓

Wow.

Nicole (: 38:14

Bet you couldn't feel.

I'm Spock. You really can't have nice things.

Monica (: 38:21

It gets even worse. My husband's giving me so much crap.

And so I go to like serve up breakfast and I go to put his eggs on his plate. I literally don't know how this happened. And I go and put the egg on his plate and somehow an egg comes flying.

Nicole (: 38:38

Hahaha

Monica (: 38:39

cheek and I burned my freaking face!

Nicole (: 38:42

You

Monica (: 38:48

don't understand. So I have an appointment with Dr. Olson next week for a follow-up and I'm like, I'm sorry I destroyed your work.

Nicole (: 38:48

No, you literally can't have nice things.

Kelsie (: 38:49

you

Ashley (: 38:57

I just

Nicole (: 38:57

Literally, I just...

Ashley (: 38:57

keep burning it.

Nicole (: 39:01

That's okay, so but though The white shirt Analogy literally sent me in the group chat. I laughed so hard. We have the proof. Maybe we'll put it in here I I laughed so fucking hard while I was listening to it, and then I went to

Kelsie (: 39:01

Turns out not having a feeling is pretty problematic

Monica (: 39:12

New stomach, burn it.

Kelsie (: 39:18

She really did. I had to replay the

Monica (: 39:18

Ha!

Kelsie (: 39:21

message like three times and slow it down just to figure out what she was saying in between her laughter because she was laughing so hard.

Monica (: 39:30

too.

Nicole (: 39:30

literally I literally listened to it laughed then and then I was like, okay, I got my giggles out now I can respond no either minute I hit record it just hit me all over again what you said I literally laughed so loud. I was like, haha

Kelsie (: 39:36

Thank

Monica (: 39:56

It was so good and like it just set me to it. Like I couldn't handle.

Kelsie (: 39:56

you

Nicole (: 40:01

crying i was crying i was like why is this

Monica (: 40:05

I mean, it is

funny. Like, my life is comical. Like, just the stupidest shit happens to me. Like, it is one embarrassing moment after another.

Nicole (: 40:08

Oh God. You actually need like a bubble.

Ashley (: 40:13

Right?

I can't wait to hear what Dr. Bellybutton has to say about it.

Nicole (: 40:19

I know.

Monica (: 40:21

and

it's like there's no...

Ashley (: 40:21

He's gonna be like, wow, this has never happened to anyone ever.

Kelsie (: 40:22

Thank

Nicole (: 40:24

Hahaha!

Monica (: 40:25

There's no hiding it, like it's just so obvious and it's like darker and thank goodness I already have some good quality scar cream because that's going on the burn now too.

Nicole (: 40:27

you

Yeah, thank god for that. ⁓

Ashley (: 40:34

Wow.

Nicole (: 40:35

my god. ⁓ my god.

Kelsie (: 40:36

All I can think about is like

when you leave the dentist and your tongue is like half numb and they're like now be careful So you don't bite your freaking tongue off. It's like Monica be careful, so you don't fucking roast your stomach off

Nicole (: 40:41

Yeah, your face is now-

Ashley (: 40:44

And you're like...

He's like, I didn't know I had to say that.

Kelsie (: 40:50

I didn't know I had to warn you, but...

Nicole (: 40:52

That's

so funny.

Monica (: 40:54

The worst part about it is that I knew that this could happen. Like, I was checking the heat, like repeatedly and taking it on and off. I thought I was being so wise and was like on top.

Nicole (: 40:58

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 41:04

Mean

it really is wild because like I do that I have like a stuffed animal that I heat for my cramps and I get that motherfucker toasty and and it gets warm, but I'm like I I've never I mean

Monica (: 41:07

Yeah.

Yeah!

Ashley (: 41:14

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 41:14

Mm-hmm.

Ashley (: 41:19

I've

never burned myself with a heating pad. Yeah, that's pretty crazy.

Monica (: 41:20

I know, and I check, because it's same thing. It's

Nicole (: 41:21

Next time...

Monica (: 41:22

my little crab, it's my menstruation crustacean. He's great. Like I throw it in the microwave, it up. He was not that hot.

Kelsie (: 41:25

Yes.

Nicole (: 41:25

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 41:28

I have a raccoon, a gerbil,

and an alligator.

Ashley (: 41:31

that what burns you?

Nicole (: 41:32

not she doesn't have any crustaceans because she's allergic so she can't have those.

Monica (: 41:33

Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't even like a heating pad.

Ashley (: 41:35

⁓ wow.

Monica (: 41:37

It wasn't an electrical one. No.

Ashley (: 41:38

I thought this was an electric heating pad. This is a fucking menstruation crustacean you burnt yourself with.

Kelsie (: 41:42

Yes.

Nicole (: 41:42

Okay, so next

time next time you need to wrap your little crustacean in a little blankie Just put him in a little blankie. he's making an appearance. ⁓ he's so cute Put him in a blanket

Kelsie (: 41:44

I have-

Monica (: 41:46

Actually, actually I've got him right next to me. It's my little lobster. He's so cute.

Ashley (: 41:50

Oh my God, he's here. He's, wow.

Kelsie (: 41:51

Listen, ⁓ I love him. Listen, the first time I ever

heard about a menstruation, crustration, it wasn't like a heating pad. was like somebody had ⁓ crustacean in their bathroom that was like a bowl and it held all their period stuff and it was their menstruation, crustacean. So when I moved away from Hawaii the first time, of my going away presents, my friends got me a lobster, I think it was a lobster, holding a bowl.

Nicole (: 42:09

⁓ that's funny.

Ashley (: 42:11

Mmm.

Kelsie (: 42:20

He was obviously meant for the kitchen. had a chef's hat, but she got it for me. So it could be my menstruation crustacean station.

Nicole (: 42:25

Hilarious. That's so funny.

Ashley (: 42:27

You

Monica (: 42:28

now too I need a cri- minstration

minstration crustacean station and he can hang out in there

Nicole (: 42:33

That's hard to say. And it's tracing crustacean station.

Kelsie (: 42:38

Yeah.

Nicole (: 42:38

Aww.

Ashley (: 42:38

You need

a big bowl for that guy.

Kelsie (: 42:39

Yeah. Yeah. It's cute.

Monica (: 42:40

Monica (: 42:43

know, I know I do need to take it off. Yeah, his name is ⁓ Shelly, C-H-E-L-L-Y, Shelly the lobster.

Ashley (: 42:48

She's still thinking about returning him.

Kelsie (: 42:50

She said...

Monica (: 42:53

Right? I mean, look at his face though. Like, he's not happy.

Ashley (: 42:53

Keepin' the tag in case you gotta take him back.

No, he looks angry. Yeah,

Kelsie (: 42:58

He looks kinda

evil, honestly. He looks like he's like mischievous for sure.

Ashley (: 43:00

he's like, errr.

Nicole (: 43:02

He's out to

Monica (: 43:02

But

Nicole (: 43:02

Monica (: 43:02

he's also got heart eyes, so I mean, make signals here.

Nicole (: 43:03

you. He's like, bitch. Yeah. Mmm. Can we trust him?

Ashley (: 43:07

He's sour, then he's sweet.

Kelsie (: 43:07

I feel like they

definitely angled his eyebrows wrong for sure. To be lovable.

Monica (: 43:11

Yeah.

Nicole (: 43:11

Can we trust him?

Monica (: 43:13

Yeah.

Nicole (: 43:15

Okay, anyway. ⁓ Cremest, menstruation, crustacean. That's hard to even say. Okay. I need one of those. Speaking of numb skin...

Monica (: 43:22

I know, it is.

Ashley (: 43:28

⁓ Yeah?

Nicole (: 43:30

So my mom, she had to have

Monica (: 43:30

Yes?

Nicole (: 43:33

a triple bypass. I don't think I mentioned that on here. I don't really talk about her health stuff lot on here, but ⁓ she had some obviously health issues this past year and ended up having to have a triple bypass. And so she is going through, but you were going through Monica with the itchies, like the deep itch where you can't reach the itch. And that's really annoying.

Ashley (: 43:52

Mmm.

Monica (: 43:52

It's it's the worst. It's like

yeah, it's like deep in the nerves You see you literally can't scratch it. I'm sitting here like slapping my stomach trying to get the itch to go away. It's awful

Nicole (: 43:57

Yeah.

Ashley (: 43:57

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 44:02

God. So

Ashley (: 44:02

Yeah.

Nicole (: 44:04

she's and I'm like, yeah, she's been telling me like every time I talked to her like, I can't itch my itch. And I'm like, I am so sorry. Don't put anything hot on yourself and burn yourself please. Yeah, that's what I told her. I was like, the nerves are waking up. She's like, I know, but it sucks. I'm like, it has to suck.

Monica (: 44:12

I know. Well, and it's supposed to be like a good thing, because it means things are healing, but...

Ashley (: 44:20

Yeah.

Monica (: 44:21

Mm-hmm. The

worst is like, feel like it always happens the most at night. So I'm like laying in bed, my husband's just like, what are you doing? And I'm like, everything edges. And I'm like slapping my stomach and he's just like, ⁓ okay.

Nicole (: 44:30

I feel like a psycho.

Ashley (: 44:30

ha ha.

Ha ha ha.

Nicole (: 44:36

Okay, alright. He's like, I'm gonna go sleep on the couch with Derek. Goodbye. ⁓

Kelsie (: 44:37

⁓

Monica (: 44:41

pretty much.

Kelsie (: 44:43

Dericus or dog guys. Context is good. It was giving trouble.

Monica (: 44:44

Yes, it's my boxer. It's ⁓ Context is important here.

Nicole (: 44:44

Yeah, Derek is her dog. Derek is her dog. And, and when her contacts. Yeah, that was,

Ashley (: 44:45

Yeah

That was giving throuple a little bit.

Nicole (: 44:53

yeah. Context matters guys. Well, actually that's all started when you had your surgery, right? cause you were sleeping downstairs with him. And so then he got spoiled and he wanted a human downstairs every night. And then eventually that became James. Yes. He's old. Yeah.

Kelsie (: 44:55

Hehehe

Monica (: 45:00

the sleep on the couch. Yes. Yes.

Yeah, I know. And again, context is important. He's a boxer. He's 14 years old, which is like unheard

of for a boxer. So we don't love him going up and down the stairs at night without us. And so we're like, all right, fine. So we kind of take turns sleeping on the couch sometimes with him if we can't get him upstairs. He is. Yeah, he's an old man, but like he's still got a little bit of bounce in his step and like he's hanging in there and yeah.

Nicole (: 45:19

Yeah.

He's an old man! Yeah, he's an old man!

Ashley (: 45:24

He is an old man. can confirm

he's quite rickety. Yeah.

Nicole (: 45:28

Aw, we're kitty little

Kelsie (: 45:28

Aww.

Nicole (: 45:29

mans. I also...

Ashley (: 45:33

He still, he gets excited.

Nicole (: 45:35

I just love, just love people named for dogs like that. When she, the first time she told us his name was Derek, I lost it. was like, my God, Derek the dog! my God!

Kelsie (: 45:40

Yeah.

Monica (: 45:44

Yeah, he's adorable. Also, he

looks like Forrest Whitaker.

Nicole (: 45:49

Yeah, he

does. Shut up. He totally does. We'll have to insert picture here because he does look like Forrest Whitaker

Monica (: 45:55

Yeah, yeah, he does. He looks like Forrest Whitaker. So I've

got a good picture. It's an old one, but like you can see it and you're like, yeah, there it is.

Nicole (: 46:01

That's hilarious. God, that's

good. Also,

Kelsie (: 46:06

That's funny. I guess since we're on

Ashley (: 46:07

funny.

Okay, well.

Nicole (: 46:10

I was gonna throw my mom under the bus really quick.

Kelsie (: 46:10

⁓

Monica (: 46:12

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta keep going.

Kelsie (: 46:12

throw her under the bus. fuck, yeah. Do it.

Ashley (: 46:13

⁓ I thought we were

Nicole (: 46:14

I did bring

Ashley (: 46:15

done with, thought, okay, I thought you were just telling the itching. Got it. Let's do it.

Nicole (: 46:15

her up. I just brought her up quickly because I do want to throw her under the bus. Miss ma'am. She texted me the other day and she saw our reel about the, I'm going to say about the jeans and no underpants. And she says to me, I must be a psychopath then because I don't wear underwear with jeans. And you know that.

Monica (: 46:16

Yeah, we know he's

Yes.

Kelsie (: 46:20

Okay.

Monica (: 46:27

Which one?

Ashley (: 46:28

Which one?

No. ⁓ no.

Monica (: 46:39

No!

Nicole (: 46:41

And she goes, I'm surprised you didn't say it. And I was like, I wasn't going to throw you under the bus, but now I am. So mom, I love you mom, but you're a psychopath for not wearing underwear with your jeans. I was dying. And then she texted me the day after she's like, okay, but where do I actually listen to your podcast? The full podcast at, so I told her and I was like, good luck. I was like, give us a black, please don't. I was like, please don't listen, but also it's fine.

Ashley (: 46:44

⁓ my god. ⁓

Monica (: 46:46

I will now though.

Kelsie (: 46:47

GURRRR

Ashley (: 46:53

That's hilarious. That is crazy. Yeah.

Kelsie (: 46:53

That's crazy!

Ashley (: 47:03

Yes, okay, yes.

Kelsie (: 47:03

Hahaha

Monica (: 47:05

You were, ⁓ enjoy the journey.

Ashley (: 47:08

My mom said that to me the other day

too. Yeah. The other day my mom was like, ⁓ my mom said that too. The other day I went out to lunch with her and she's like, ⁓ I mentioned the podcast or you guys or something. And she's like, I still haven't listened to the podcast yet. I need to do that. And I was like, Hmm. Do you, do you need to? I'm like, what have I said? I don't know.

Nicole (: 47:11

She what?

Monica (: 47:22

I've had a similar conversation with my mom. like, but do you

Nicole (: 47:25

Do you?

Monica (: 47:29

need to listen?

Nicole (: 47:29

Exactly.

Kelsie (: 47:31

This is like, this is like, my mom, it's okay that my mom listens, but like

Nicole (: 47:31

And Ashley, that always comes back to bite you. You do? Olive, I feel like Olive, season one, every time we would get on, you'd be like, well, somebody else called me out for something. Like the nice man that works in your office.

Ashley (: 47:35

it's gonna

know everything. I get in trouble so much, so I'm sure there's something I've said that I wasn't supposed to say, and I'm going to be.

Monica (: 47:39

yeah.

Yeah.

Ashley (: 47:45

pissed somebody off.

Kelsie (: 47:47

Haha!

Ashley (: 47:52

my God. Still unclear if he knows that I called him that.

Monica (: 47:53

favorite one.

Kelsie (: 47:53

Bye, Dad.

Monica (: 47:57

Clear.

Nicole (: 47:57

Still unclear.

Kelsie (: 47:59

Gosh oh gosh my dad listened to a couple episodes, and I'm like Did you stop? I? Don't know I don't think I don't think he did I

Monica (: 48:00

That's my favorite one.

Nicole (: 48:00

That was so funny.

you

Ashley (: 48:05

Did he listen to the butthole one? Did he listen to the first one? He did, he must've started at number one.

Monica (: 48:10

Right? Like that's solid first

episode, cause like...

Ashley (: 48:13

He was probably like, no, I gotta get out of here.

Kelsie (: 48:15

don't think that he started, no listen, listen, I don't think he started at number one because he referenced one where I talked about ⁓ how he didn't go Halloween trick or treating with us. And that was so later on and he said he only listened to a couple so I pray he did not listen to the whole one but I don't think he kept listening and that's probably a good thing.

Nicole (: 48:16

He heard you say the word butthole and he exited. said goodbye.

Monica (: 48:18

Right?

⁓ the trick-or-treating, mm-hmm. Yeah.

Ashley (: 48:27

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nicole (: 48:27

⁓ OK. Yeah, yeah, Yeah.

Ashley (: 48:30

Well, you know what?

Nicole (: 48:33

You

Ashley (: 48:34

If he listened.

Monica (: 48:37

Probably,

Ashley (: 48:38

Yeah.

Monica (: 48:38

I mean that first episode, like that really is just like certain off strong, because we are either going to find our people immediately or they are exiting the chat.

Kelsie (: 48:40

We're protection.

Nicole (: 48:40

So funny.

out. They're

Ashley (: 48:47

Yeah,

Nicole (: 48:48

out. Anymore.

Ashley (: 48:48

that's what I was going to say. If your dad listened to that one, he probably wouldn't have listened to a few. He probably would been like, okay, I got to go. This isn't for me.

Kelsie (: 48:52

He was probably like, my god, Kelsey.

Nicole (: 48:55

That's so funny.

the other funny thing is like, know a few times I know I have said, sorry mom, on here and I like, I know I've said that sentence. I can't remember in what context though. So I'm like, well, hopefully I don't get myself in too much trouble because.

Kelsie (: 48:57

I appreciate the support, but...

I know I've said,

I know I said sorry dad at least once. ⁓ So yeah.

Monica (: 49:14

Yeah, yeah, you have. You have.

Nicole (: 49:15

Yes, and I think

Ashley (: 49:15

You probably should have said

it more.

Nicole (: 49:16

it was that episode when you were saying that he didn't go trick-or-treating with you you're like, sorry, dad, you just didn't. ⁓

Monica (: 49:21

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 49:21

But he said that he was like, yeah, I know I didn't Well, he's actually he said

he said I did go like when we lived Basically where we lived before when I was like really young so I'm like, I don't remember that so I believe you but I was not like Long-term memory wasn't working. No, but he did he was straight up like yeah, no, I didn't go later on but we had we lived in the country like

Nicole (: 49:33

Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, when you were young, young, yeah. Right.

Ashley (: 49:37

⁓ his feelings are probably hurt. You probably upset him.

Nicole (: 49:40

You weren't coherent there.

Kelsie (: 49:48

like 15 miles into the country. if we were trick-or-treating, we were driving into one of the towns to trick-or-treat and it like, yeah. So no shade, no shame. It's fine. We were older anyways, so we a lot of times like met up with our friends and like kind of meandered around. So it was a missing much. Any hooser.

Nicole (: 49:51

Yeah.

Ashley (: 49:53

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 49:54

You have to drive into town. We have to do that too. We have to allow. No shade, of course not. It's just so funny.

Monica (: 49:54

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Ashley (: 50:09

Yeah,

Nicole (: 50:09

It's not fun to trick or treat with teenagers.

Ashley (: 50:10

the game back to the game.

Kelsie (: 50:12

Side tangent, yes.

Nicole (: 50:12

Anyway, back to the game. We were going to play a game, I Stared at the game. Do you want to play a game? What?

Kelsie (: 50:16

We're gonna play a game It's like bothered or not bar that a little little little bothered

Ashley (: 50:18

Let's play a game.

Monica (: 50:19

Let's play.

Kelsie (: 50:23

or not bothered Wow that was hard my words have I pregnancy and words not working this week I Forming sentences is not my strong suit, so I don't know why I took the lead on this but

Nicole (: 50:25

Gotcha. That was hard.

Ashley (: 50:25

Okay.

Monica (: 50:30

They don't mix.

Nicole (: 50:30

They don't mix.

Ashley (: 50:32

Mm.

Nicole (: 50:37

You really did

take the initiative. You were like, I got it. Okay, why?

Kelsie (: 50:43

yeah. So anyway, ⁓ we're gonna list. We're just, I guess since I already started, I can do it. ⁓ I'm going to say something that happens occurs and they are going to say whether they're bothered or unbothered. They are not allowed to elaborate. They just have to say whether they're bothered or unbothered on it. And then we'll move on to the next one. At the end, we can go back and readdress. ⁓

and elaborate on certain ones, but also on maybe the last one, they'll guess, we'll get there. I'll say this before we do the last one, but like, instead of what they're bothered or unbothered by, they're gonna guess whether I'd be bothered or unbothered by it. Sound good?

Nicole (: 51:26

I did not look

Ashley (: 51:27

Got

Nicole (: 51:27

Ashley (: 51:27

it.

Nicole (: 51:27

any of the things ahead of time, so I have no idea what you're asking. Yes, I'm going in bald. Bald? Blind.

Kelsie (: 51:30

Okay, that's probably good. It's probably better that way. Okay.

Ashley (: 51:32

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

BALD!

Kelsie (: 51:39

She's going in bald and blind.

Ashley (: 51:39

Excuse me?

Kelsie (: 51:45

She's not even pregnant and she's fucking up her words, so... It's empathy.

Nicole (: 51:48

You're passing your, it's sympathy, it's sympathy for you.

Ashley (: 51:52

I'm bald.

Monica (: 51:53

I heard that

and I was like, yeah, okay. And then I kept thinking, I'm like, I don't think that was right.

Ashley (: 51:56

Let's all go in bold.

Kelsie (: 51:56

I was gonna roll with

it. Yeah, I was gonna roll with it. It's fine.

Nicole (: 52:01

in ball.

Ashley (: 52:03

Okay.

Kelsie (: 52:04

Going in bald. Okay. No elaboration. Going in bald, yes. No elaboration. Bothered or unbothered, a man who claps when the plane lands.

Ashley (: 52:06

Here we go. ⁓

Nicole (: 52:07

Okay,

Monica (: 52:07

Ha ha.

Nicole (: 52:08

No elaboration.

Ashley (: 52:19

Unbothered.

Nicole (: 52:19

Unbothered.

Kelsie (: 52:21

Agreed. Seeing someone from high school at Target and pretending not to see them.

Monica (: 52:28

I mean, I'm, hmm. Hmm.

Ashley (: 52:29

unbothered.

Nicole (: 52:30

Unbothered I don't want to wait. Wait, are we unbothered

Ashley (: 52:33

I'm I'm pro doing

Nicole (: 52:33

by that act or yeah, are we?

Ashley (: 52:36

Kelsie (: 52:37

If it, yes, if it happens to you, would you be bothered or unbothered if somebody...

Ashley (: 52:41

Unbothered.

Nicole (: 52:41

No, unbothered.

Ashley (: 52:43

Esthetic.

Nicole (: 52:43

Unbothered on both fronts. Yeah. Unbothered. Elated. So happy. You're torn. Okay, all right.

Kelsie (: 52:45

Okay.

Ashley (: 52:46

Elated.

Monica (: 52:47

Mostly unbothered.

Kelsie (: 52:53

It depends if I actually like them. Yeah. If someone- Oh yeah, yeah, Sorry. I'm breaking the rules. The host is breaking the rules. Okay.

Monica (: 52:55

Yeah. Yeah.

Nicole (: 52:56

No elaboration. No elaboration. However,

Monica (: 52:59

haha

Ashley (: 53:00

Yeah, cut it. Cut it!

Nicole (: 53:04

Monica said torn and I almost didn't. I held myself back because I almost started seeing torn by Natalie and Berlia. I'm not going to do it, but I just needed to say it. I needed to get it out. Sorry.

Kelsie (: 53:11

You have- you- you are straight up glitching today, okay.

Monica (: 53:12

you today!

Ashley (: 53:14

You

Monica (: 53:16

No, she needs to go out for

like a karaoke night is what needs to happen like get this out of your system ⁓

Nicole (: 53:23

I can't. ⁓ Yes.

Kelsie (: 53:24

Okay, next. Are you ready?

Ashley (: 53:26

Ready.

Kelsie (: 53:28

grown

adults who say nom nom nom unironically

Nicole (: 53:31

You

Monica (: 53:31

Mothered.

So bothered.

Nicole (: 53:40

He's extremely uncomfy, bothered. Unironically, yeah, like they mean it. Om nom nom nom nom nom nom.

Ashley (: 53:41

unironically bothered.

Kelsie (: 53:43

un-ironically,

like, they are dead seriously chowing down on a fucking chocolate cake and they're like, nom nom nom.

Monica (: 53:45

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.

Ashley (: 53:50

What? Is this happen frequently? I'm shook.

Monica (: 53:52

Monkey Monster!

Kelsie (: 53:54

I don't know.

Nicole (: 53:55

Next girl's trip. I'm gonna do that Dammit I'll try to be really convincing, okay

Ashley (: 53:59

⁓ my God. That's ironic. Yeah.

Kelsie (: 54:00

But then it will be ironically, so it's fine.

Okay,

this is good for our name thing. A girl named Kaylee spelling it K-A-I-L-E-I-G-H.

Ashley (: 54:17

bothered.

Nicole (: 54:17

Bothered the fuck although it's not her fault is her parents fault the fuck

Kelsie (: 54:22

It's

not the worst case I've ever seen of a unique spelling.

Monica (: 54:24

I'm unbothered by that.

Nicole (: 54:25

No, but it's just,

it's so many letters. I mean, I guess it... No. We're not good at this. We're not good at this.

Monica (: 54:27

It is so many letters. Shut up, you yappers.

Ashley (: 54:27

It's unnecessary.

Kelsie (: 54:28

Okay, no, no elaboration.

Ashley (: 54:30

⁓ shut up!

Kelsie (: 54:34

This is supposed

to be quick on the draw. I know. Sorry. Men who say I'm a nice guy.

Ashley (: 54:38

You gotta read them faster.

Nicole (: 54:40

She care.

Ashley (: 54:44

Bothered.

Nicole (: 54:46

Bothered? Bothered? I like... red flag. Unbothered. Unbothered, I don't care.

Kelsie (: 54:46

If you have to say it, it's probably an odd. Okay. Someone FaceTiming in public with no headphones.

Monica (: 54:48

Mm-hmm.

Ashley (: 54:53

Ugh, bothered.

Kelsie (: 54:56

I do. I've done that before. It's pins and where I'm at. Okay, no elaboration. Sharing a dessert on a first date.

Ashley (: 54:57

Bothered.

Nicole (: 54:58

Unbothered. No elaboration. ⁓

Monica (: 54:59

Yeah. Yeah.

Nicole (: 55:03

unbothered.

Ashley (: 55:04

Unbothered.

I don't know.

Monica (: 55:05

I mean, yeah, I'm bothered, but it's been so long. I haven't had a first date. What is that?

Ashley (: 55:09

Yeah, what's a first date?

Nicole (: 55:10

Literally. What is a first date?

Ashley (: 55:13

Me and Monica shared dessert when we went on our first date, so unbothered.

Nicole (: 55:13

What does that mean? Oh, there you go. Unwothered.

Monica (: 55:15

I was unbothered.

Kelsie (: 55:19

A wedding with a cash bar.

Ashley (: 55:22

Bothered.

Nicole (: 55:22

Bothered.

Kelsie (: 55:26

Okay. When someone says, let's circle back.

Monica (: 55:31

Bothered. Brings me back to corporate days. no, no elaboration.

Ashley (: 55:33

Unbothered.

Nicole (: 55:34

unbothered.

Ashley (: 55:36

Oops.

Nicole (: 55:37

No liberation!

Kelsie (: 55:39

Okay,

this is the last one, so you have to tell me whether you think I would be bothered or unbothered. Okay.

Ashley (: 55:46

Okay.

Nicole (: 55:48

Wait, should we answer for ourselves first and then guess yours? Is that what we're doing? Or did I hear that wrong? Okay. Okay. Okay, okay, okay.

Kelsie (: 55:51

Sure, sure. It doesn't matter. you want to answer for yourselves and then answer for me.

The sound of someone eating a banana.

Monica (: 56:01

Bothered. And I think you would be bothered.

Ashley (: 56:02

⁓ bothered?

Nicole (: 56:02

I'm bothered, unbothered. I think

you would be bothered. I agree that you'd be bothered.

Ashley (: 56:07

I agree.

Kelsie (: 56:09

I actually don't know

if I'd be bothered. Since this is the last one, I'll elaborate. I'm not too bothered by people eating noises. The only person that really bothers me when I hear eating noises is Trevor. that's because he has a way, and it's mostly like chips, he has a way of just fucking like, really fucking chomping down. And I'm like,

Ashley (: 56:25

You

Nicole (: 56:28

It depends.

Monica (: 56:31

Yeah, I can't handle that.

Nicole (: 56:31

It really depends.

Ashley (: 56:32

Thanks

Kelsie (: 56:34

But a banana, I don't think a banana would bother me too bad unless they were really like slopping it around like. Yeah.

Ashley (: 56:40

It really sounds, yeah, sloshy and you know.

Monica (: 56:41

I mean, bananas, feel like are fairly quiet

Nicole (: 56:42

was.

Monica (: 56:43

to eat anyways, but just in general, I can't stand it.

Nicole (: 56:45

Yeah, so I guess if you're making noise

with a banana, that's- there's a lot of mouth, that's weird.

Ashley (: 56:48

Well, the fact that we're talking about it being

loud enough that you hear it and have to decide if you're bothered or unbothered, I think in that scenario, I'm bothered.

Kelsie (: 56:53

Yeah. It might

Nicole (: 56:54

That's bothersome.

Yeah.

Monica (: 56:55

Yeah. Yeah.

Kelsie (: 56:55

matter who it is too. Like, my already, like, are they already, like, somebody I don't like? Because then I would be annoyed instantly. Yes.

Ashley (: 56:57

Definitely.

Monica (: 57:01

Yeah, definitely. don't know,

Ashley (: 57:02

If they did anything, then we'd be annoyed, so.

Nicole (: 57:03

Yeah.

Monica (: 57:04

my, my oldest

right now, like this is our problem with him is that he, eats with his mouth open a lot of the time. He just gets an imagination land, like forgets. And I constantly I'm like, dude, I can hear your food talking. Like shut your mouth. I can't stand it. It's so gross. And he's like across the table from me. So I see it and I'm like, Right.

Ashley (: 57:13

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 57:17

He's going, nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom. He's nom noming unironically.

Ashley (: 57:17

Mm-hmm

Nicole (: 57:26

Close your mouth.

Kelsie (: 57:29

I think there was one I

Nicole (: 57:31

That's so funny.

Kelsie (: 57:32

wanted you guys to elaborate on. ⁓

Well, are there any that you wanted to elaborate on? you didn't? The sharing a dessert on a first date? I... I don't know. Yeah, I mean...

Nicole (: 57:40

I don't know why you would be bothered by that. I

Ashley (: 57:46

Seems like it would be a group decision if you were sharing a dessert, so.

Nicole (: 57:46

think it's sweet. Yeah.

Monica (: 57:46

I think, well, okay, so yeah,

Kelsie (: 57:49

If you were a germaphobe,

Monica (: 57:50

I think

Kelsie (: 57:50

perhaps...

Monica (: 57:50

if I were on a first date, I would only be bothered if it was assumed that I wanted to. Like if there was no, hey, do you want to share a dessert?

Ashley (: 57:56

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 57:56

Right, if you don't ask me and you just start going,

yeah, no, that's dangerous territory.

Kelsie (: 58:00

Or like if I wasn't feeling them or

Ashley (: 58:01

Yeah, that's true.

Kelsie (: 58:03

like I felt like they were like Jeremy then maybe it would bother me but just like just yeah, just on a just Normal thing I think it'd be fine like I would probably share a dessert with anybody at any time if it was like not weird or gross

Nicole (: 58:06

Yeah. Then I just wouldn't agree to it.

Monica (: 58:07

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. In general, I have no issue

Nicole (: 58:22

Yeah. Yeah.

Monica (: 58:25

sharing, but if it's like a first date where you really don't know the person that well, or you're not vibing with them, and it's just this assumption that you're going to, no.

Ashley (: 58:26

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 58:33

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

yes. Yeah.

Kelsie (: 58:35

Yeah, no, if he

just like got us one piece of chocolate cake, I'd be like... Weird. But if... But if it was... How did it even get brought up? Like, do you want to share? I don't know. That's just weird anyways. How does that even happen?

Monica (: 58:40

What, can't have my own?

Ashley (: 58:42

Yeah, first of all, I want a whole piece of chocolate cake.

Nicole (: 58:42

Yeah. I'd be like, is this a white chick situation?

Monica (: 58:50

I don't

even think it's that hard though. It's like if you're looking at the dessert menu, it's like, hey, do you want to split something? Do you want something of your own? Like, how hungry are you? Like, what do you feel it? Like, yeah.

Nicole (: 58:56

Yeah, and then you agree. And then you agree and then you move on. However,

if you're looking at the dessert menu and you go, I'm gonna have the this and then they don't order anything. And then when your dessert comes to the table, they just go, we're sword fighting. I'm gonna hurt you with my fork. Like I will stab you, get away from me, this is mine. You had your chance to order something and you didn't speak up.

Monica (: 59:14

⁓ yes, yes.

Ashley (: 59:17

Mm-hmm.

Kelsie (: 59:19

lol

Ashley (: 59:20

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 59:23

You didn't ask if you could have any mindless assumed, but now we're fighting with forks. It's the assumption. Correct. Otherwise, if we're like, I'm so full, but I do want dessert. you want to split something? Okay, yeah, let's do it. Then that's different. Like Justin and I used to do that all the time.

Monica (: 59:24

Yes. It's the assumption that is so bothersome. ⁓

Kelsie (: 59:26

That happens. ⁓

Monica (: 59:35

Right. And this is also like first,

Kelsie (: 59:37

Trevor does that sometimes

to this day.

Monica (: 59:39

yeah, this is also first date vibes. Cause like with my husband who I've been with now for so many years, it's like, if I changed my mind, I'm probably going to take a bite of his dessert and there's an understanding.

Nicole (: 59:42

Mmm.

Correct, I'm reaching over. We've been, we're married.

Ashley (: 59:50

Yeah, obviously. Yeah.

Kelsie (: 59:52

But Trevor

Nicole (: 59:52

You don't...

Kelsie (: 59:52

will straight up be like, no, I don't want anything. And then he'll take a bite of mine and I'm like, sir, do you want throw hands? Do you want to catch these hands? Like, why? You said you didn't want any. I did not get this with the intention of sharing.

Nicole (: 59:57

That's me. That's me. I do that.

see, don't say I

don't say I don't want any necessarily, but like, yeah.

Kelsie (: 1:00:11

No, see, I'm careful to not say I don't want any. I

will usually just be like, I might take a little of yours. I'm not. I don't want a whole thing. I would never, but he will just bold face be like, nah, I don't want anything. And then proceed to steal mine and that is where I...

Monica (: 1:00:16

Yeah.

Nicole (: 1:00:17

Yeah. Yeah.

Meh.

Monica (: 1:00:25

You're like, had expectations

Ashley (: 1:00:25

Yeah.

Monica (: 1:00:26

that this was mine.

Kelsie (: 1:00:28

I'm like,

Nicole (: 1:00:29

So when we're at home When we're at home and I

Kelsie (: 1:00:29

yes. If the- I have to- yeah, be prepared.

Ashley (: 1:00:31

I'm so guilty of that. I'm guilty of that for sure.

Monica (: 1:00:32

You

Nicole (: 1:00:34

see my husband like making something I'll just eyeball him I won't say like oh I want any I'll just eyeball him until he like comes and sits down and I'm like Can I have a bite? Like a little yeah, like I'm big literally begging. I'm like I saw what you were making now. I want it

Ashley (: 1:00:39

Uh-huh.

Like a dog begging for food. Yeah, that's me too. That's me too.

Monica (: 1:00:46

Right?

Kelsie (: 1:00:49

When we are out, yeah,

when we are out and about, yes, when we are out and about, I base what I order based off what my husband orders because I need to know like if he's not getting something that I would be interested in, I have to get like the main thing I'm interested in. But a lot of the times we're both interested in similar things. So if he gets the one thing, I can get the other thing and I can enjoy the best of both worlds. It's like I...

Ashley (: 1:00:52

I wasn't hungry, but now that it's here I am.

Nicole (: 1:00:54

Yeah!

Monica (: 1:00:54

Yeah.

Yes, yes, we do

Ashley (: 1:01:14

Mm-hmm.

Monica (: 1:01:15

the same.

Kelsie (: 1:01:15

need

to know what you're ordering before I can plan my order and that goes for desserts too like this is

Nicole (: 1:01:18

Yeah. Yeah.

Monica (: 1:01:20

Yeah, I

will say like.

Nicole (: 1:01:22

We do

similar things only because my husband will not let me order the same thing he orders. If I order first, if he tells me he wants something, I'm like, I was wanting that too. But you could get it. then I'll order it first. He'll be like, fucker And he'll change his order. And I'm like, damn it. All the time I try to get us to get the same order. And he never lets it happen. I'm like, you son of a bitch.

Monica (: 1:01:27

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 1:01:35

you

Ashley (: 1:01:41

that's funny.

Monica (: 1:01:44

Yeah. James tries

Kelsie (: 1:01:45

I live.

Monica (: 1:01:46

to order separate too. I will give him credit though too, is that if he's out picking something up for us, or even if we're eating out and he like knows that I'm kind of thinking about it, like if he's going to go pick up like burritos or something and he's like, do you want anything? I'm like, no, he picks something up. He knows better.

Nicole (: 1:01:48

It's funny.

He brings it back, smart man. What

Ashley (: 1:02:00

Yeah.

Yep. Yep.

Nicole (: 1:02:01

is Justin? And Justin knows not to fuck with my food either, like it's a big deal.

Kelsie (: 1:02:02

He listen yes

Trevor does too, but let me tell you what I'm also a little bit bothered by this week He will never come home with if he goes to like we have a dollar journal down the street if he goes to like pick something up He that man is always coming home with a dr. Pepper or coke or something he went the other day and he didn't bring home a drink and I'm like I Almost texted him, but I was like there's no need like he never comes home without

Nicole (: 1:02:10

You

Monica (: 1:02:23

no.

Nicole (: 1:02:28

He will, yeah.

Kelsie (: 1:02:29

And he's like, well, they didn't have the Coke.

Nicole (: 1:02:30

And it's the one time.

Kelsie (: 1:02:32

They didn't have the Coke orange, which is what I've been getting it from the dollar general lately is the Coke orange. And I was like, so you like you does not an excuse to come home empty handed. You're not telling me they were out of Dr. Pepper.

Nicole (: 1:02:35

Mm. Mm.

Just get something!

Monica (: 1:02:44

Trevor, your wife is pregnant.

Bring her all the treats.

Nicole (: 1:02:46

Yeah, literally.

Kelsie (: 1:02:48

I mean, this is a heinous act, whether I'm pregnant or not, especially, like, I just assumed that I was gonna have a little Dr. Peppy or something.

Nicole (: 1:02:52

Trevor was a little bit bothered.

Ashley (: 1:02:58

She's like conditioned,

he walks in and she's like hand open for the Dr. Pepper.

Kelsie (: 1:03:01

Yeah. I

Monica (: 1:03:02

take

this now.

Kelsie (: 1:03:02

literally like, he's like getting stuff out of the bags. I'm like, where's, where's the drinks? I didn't get any. What do you mean?

Nicole (: 1:03:10

That's funny. That's funny. That's like every time, every time my husband goes and to the store and he gets himself like a, like a tall boy, like beer, cause they sell them individually, you know, he will always get me an Elani. And the other day I went to the store and it was in the middle of the day and I grabbed an Elani to drink while I was out and about. And I just like, did not really think about it cause I wasn't going straight home. Like I was going to the park with the girls. Like we were doing things.

Monica (: 1:03:11

What do you mean?

Kelsie (: 1:03:11

What do you mean?

Nicole (: 1:03:36

And I was like, oh yeah, I got myself an energy drink earlier. And he's like, you didn't get me a beer. I was like, I'm so sorry. You're right. I apologize. I did not think about it because we were doing other things. Like it wasn't, I didn't associate the two like you do. I'm so sorry. So then the next day I did. I got myself an energy drink and I got him a beer. was like, here you go. I'm gonna make up for it. Jesus. Not making the same mistake twice. Yeah.

Kelsie (: 1:03:42

Thank

Monica (: 1:03:59

I'm making the same mistake twice.

Kelsie (: 1:04:01

In your defense, I probably would have done the same thing. If I'm not coming, if I'm not going and

Monica (: 1:04:04

Yeah, same.

Kelsie (: 1:04:05

coming straight back, like I probably...

Nicole (: 1:04:05

Like I just wasn't, yeah,

Ashley (: 1:04:07

Yeah.

Nicole (: 1:04:07

I just wasn't thinking about it. But I was like, dang, way to call me out, okay, shit. Yikes, so sorry. My bad.

Monica (: 1:04:08

Mm-hmm.

Kelsie (: 1:04:11

I very much live by

Ashley (: 1:04:13

Whoops.

Kelsie (: 1:04:15

what's What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine and that motto kind of just bleeds into everything so

Nicole (: 1:04:20

Mm-hmm.

Ashley (: 1:04:22

Yep,

definitely.

Nicole (: 1:04:24

same. I think it's a Taurus thing sometimes, is we're a little bit like, ⁓ we are a little selfish. We want everything. We're like, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme. So.

Kelsie (: 1:04:35

Literally, no, listen, because the other day

when the guy called and he was like, your van is like, you'd like they sold it or whatever. Listen, I'm just a girl, I'm pregnant. But I obviously cried about it because I was so pissed. But then I was like, God, but then I'm like, I'm like, am I a brat? Am I spoiled? Like, it's like, yeah, I might be.

Monica (: 1:04:46

I'm just a girl.

Ashley (: 1:04:48

You

Nicole (: 1:04:48

I would have. I would have.

Monica (: 1:04:50

Not pregnant.

Nicole (: 1:04:54

Yes, it's okay. Yes, okay.

Ashley (: 1:04:55

my God.

Monica (: 1:05:01

No, but that one's valid

Nicole (: 1:05:01

A little bit, it's fine.

Monica (: 1:05:02

because like you're thinking about it. There's so much preparation. Like your mind is preparing for it. You're thinking about the van you're gonna get like it's built up and then all of us. Yeah, it's built up and now it's like, nope, sorry, just kidding. And not only that, you were halfway there across the state. Like I'd be pissed and crying too.

Nicole (: 1:05:12

You're excited.

Kelsie (: 1:05:12

It felt like it was ours,

yes. It felt like it was ours, yes.

Ashley (: 1:05:17

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 1:05:19

Wiper no swiping.

Kelsie (: 1:05:23

And I'm 27 weeks pregnant, halfway across the state in a car. So, yes. Thank you.

Nicole (: 1:05:23

Yep.

Ashley (: 1:05:23

Yeah.

Monica (: 1:05:25

Fortune cookie

friend, it's okay, it's valid.

Nicole (: 1:05:30

Pitchfork friend, I will you want me to go burn it down? I'll go burn it down. No, I'm just kidding

Kelsie (: 1:05:35

The pitchfork friend is like you are spoiled, but I will burn it down

Nicole (: 1:05:39

Yeah, you are spoiled. It's fine though. You're

Ashley (: 1:05:39

Yeah, I was going to say,

well, you might be a little bit of a brat, but also that is a valid story. You're right to be pissed.

Nicole (: 1:05:41

allowed to be spoiled. It's fine.

Monica (: 1:05:45

Kelsie (: 1:05:45

I am a little bit.

I'm a very self-aware person. I know I'm a little bit of a brat, so it's fine. Yeah, no. ⁓

Ashley (: 1:05:49

It's more the Dr. Pepper story, think, than the van story.

Nicole (: 1:05:52

Honestly.

Ashley (: 1:05:54

The van story.

That was fucked up.

Kelsie (: 1:05:56

Yeah.

I mean, in my defense, he's conditioned me to, to expect that he will come home with those things. So it's like, yeah.

Nicole (: 1:05:58

What is, wasn't there, yeah, expect those things, correct. Yes. Yep.

Monica (: 1:06:02

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You know what, Ashley? I don't know that we've heard

what you are bothered by this week.

Nicole (: 1:06:11

You were up on the creepy reservation. It's creepy though.

Ashley (: 1:06:12

I don't know.

Monica (: 1:06:13

yeah.

Ashley (: 1:06:14

I'm always up on the reservation.

Monica (: 1:06:17

Yeah, spooky stuff happens.

Kelsie (: 1:06:17

She's like, that's just

life.

Ashley (: 1:06:18

that was where I was when you guys were talking about Annabelle. And I was like, no, I'm not sleeping in this hotel room alone. Reading about this Annabelle stuff. And then I never went back to it either, because I was like, no. Pass. I can't be getting spooked out. I don't know what I'm bothered by. I don't know. I'm just like mildly bothered by everything. Not any one thing that I'm incredibly bothered by, you know?

Nicole (: 1:06:21

No.

Kelsie (: 1:06:22

You

Nicole (: 1:06:25

talking about Annabelle.

good, don't. It's just, I haven't either, cause no thanks. Especially not on the res. Honestly.

Kelsie (: 1:06:30

That's fine. It's fine.

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 1:06:44

I just scared myself, okay, sorry. I spooked myself.

Kelsie (: 1:06:46

Yeah

Ashley (: 1:06:48

Don't be afraid. This is Annabelle, see? It's the Annabelle talk. It's gotta go.

Nicole (: 1:06:55

Also, started when it spooks me.

Monica (: 1:06:55

how to go. It's true though. had to like circling back to that. I had to Google it because I'm like, what what is the big deal with this Annabelle doll? Because like, every

time I asked you're like, it's just this only like Raggedy Ann doll. And I'm like, is it actually like a Raggedy Ann doll? And then I looked it up and I was like, no, that bitch looks creepy. Like that's not a normal Raggedy Ann doll.

Nicole (: 1:07:07

No, no, it's not just yes. And very haunted.

Ashley (: 1:07:13

Mm.

Nicole (: 1:07:15

I can't remember the thing, the entity that haunts her, it's like, or possesses her, but it's like a pretty substantial one and it's scary and I'm good. And like the box that she's made out of is made out of like church glass, like blessed church glass or something like that. it's, I'm not okay.

Kelsie (: 1:07:24

Mm-hmm.

Ashley (: 1:07:30

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 1:07:31

my husband is such a pussy, you wanna know why?

Monica (: 1:07:31

to like keep her contained?

Wait, what?

Kelsie (: 1:07:37

I said, my husband is such a pussy, do you wanna know why?

Nicole (: 1:07:42

Yeah. Duh.

Kelsie (: 1:07:45

this man for he doesn't do scary movies but I forced him to because I am a scary movie person but I made him watch Annabelle when it was new-ish and I had already seen it I think I probably went to like the theater with a friend or something ⁓ and we get like halfway through if you've ever seen it there's a part where ⁓

Monica (: 1:07:45

She's pretty red.

Nicole (: 1:07:50

Mm.

Mm-hmm.

Kelsie (: 1:08:13

the dark entity like bursts in and like rushes through the room really fast. And he was like, he's like, ⁓ fuck no. And he like sits up and he's like, he's like turn it off. And I'm like laughing and he's like, no.

turn it the fuck off, I'm done. And I'm like, I'm like, okay, you're such a baby. ⁓

Ashley (: 1:08:29

you

Ballad I know That's really funny

Nicole (: 1:08:38

That's so funny.

I mean, those movies are legit scary. It's funny. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Honestly, since we moved to the woods, I can't really handle the spookies as well anymore. Like I started listening to Two Girls, One Ghost again. I normally have to take breaks because I swear shit starts happening. And so like...

Kelsie (: 1:08:39

Like I get scared, but I love the thrill so like I'm gonna keep watching he was like no fuck no turn it the fuck off I'm done and I'm like, okay ⁓

Monica (: 1:08:44

Mm-hmm.

Nicole (: 1:09:03

I've started listening. We talked about the not dear last week. I've already stopped listening

Like every time I start to like get back into the paranormal, I'm like, here we go again. Okay. Got to turn it off. Got to shut it down.

yeah, so like now I have to like kind of rein it back in on the the little spookies and like the Annabelle chat didn't happen. So once I saw that that was, didn't help, once I saw that that was becoming a thing and now I'm starting to see it on my four year page a lot, I'm like, no, no, no.

Kelsie (: 1:09:30

I just, yeah, I just gotta say, you know it's

serious when Nicole is like, no, I'm not engaging in this conversation or watching these. Like that's where, that's where you've really gone.

Monica (: 1:09:34

Yeah.

Nicole (: 1:09:35

Yeah, shut it down.

Ashley (: 1:09:36

Mm-hmm. That was your clue, Kelsey.

Monica (: 1:09:39

Yeah.

Ashley (: 1:09:40

You should have stopped there.

Nicole (: 1:09:41

Yeah, just shut it. She did. She's like, she texted to the chat. She's like, I Nicole out. I'm like, yep, we're not doing that. None of us are doing it. Close it out. Goodbye. Exit that tab. You later.

Kelsie (: 1:09:42

I did.

Monica (: 1:09:46

Yeah.

Kelsie (: 1:09:49

Yeah.

Yeah, well after she said she wasn't

gonna watch it and I was in that video I was like once I realized Annabelle was in the background I was like, I'm not watching this either and then like after the bad dream in the next morning I was like, ⁓ nope. Yep. She was right. I should have not even Nope Not even a little bit should I have watched it?

Nicole (: 1:10:00

Goodbye.

Kelsie (: 1:10:12

One more, one more thing. We have to backtrack ⁓ to a previous episode because did you guys see Justin Bieber's ⁓ statement?

Nicole (: 1:10:12

Yeah, I can get-

Monica (: 1:10:20

No. No, what did he say?

Nicole (: 1:10:21

No! I didn't

Ashley (: 1:10:21

about Diddy?

Kelsie (: 1:10:22

Yes, he said ⁓

Nicole (: 1:10:24

see...

Kelsie (: 1:10:24

he said that he was not a victim of Diddy and by talk by the continued conversation of him being like talked about in relation to it, it's taking away from the real victims. That was his statement.

Nicole (: 1:10:27

⁓ good.

Good good

Ashley (: 1:10:35

Mm-hmm.

Monica (: 1:10:35

Good

for him. Yeah, good for him.
