conversations.
Communication Breakdown
00:00:02
Speaker
Raven don't even respond to my text message. I was literally just texting you the other day.
00:00:07
Speaker
But that wasn't like a real conversation. You never even asked me how I was doing. We have talked. We talked Sunday about her. I found out because when I was talking to Alexis, I was like, what happened to the podcast? So she was like, I forgot. We'll record this week. And so I was like, OK. We'll get updates. I actually have excuses for why we haven't
Podcast Recording Challenges
00:00:29
Speaker
been recording. Let me just pull up a calendar real quick so I can update my two friends that listen to this about my life. Let's see.
00:00:37
Speaker
August 3rd, I probably was asleep. August 10th, I had a really bad day of work. I got yelled at by my boss for wanting to leave my current job. 17, August 17th, what was I doing?
Fitness Frustrations
00:00:50
Speaker
Oh, I went to Applebee's. So let's see, Alexis has really, as the person that controls how we post these and how we record, she's been slacking. Because what have I been doing on Thursdays? Nothing.
00:01:07
Speaker
No, I do Spenga on Mondays and Wednesdays and Saturdays and sometimes Sundays. My hotworks is about to open up again. Never on Thursdays. What is that? Do you still have your membership? I can't hold it. The end of the month. I was going to Brian Casey to go with us.
00:01:31
Speaker
I went and canceled my fitness connection at the beginning of this month. Tell me why they told me I still have to pay through September. It's a 60 day cancellation fee. I canceled it before the pay period. So like any gym membership, like when I canceled my hot works, it canceled for like, I didn't like February and then it'll go March and then April will be the last month that I pay. So like,
00:01:57
Speaker
No, so she was like, yeah, so you'll have to pay for September, but then you'll have it till the end of September. I'm like, Bestie, I haven't been here. You can probably check my account. It's the, I haven't been here since like March. I closed that bank account. So I just want to know, like, are they going to send me a bill in the mail? So I'm not going up there. I have until October 1st. Great. Cause it should be open by then. They have all the stuff. It's in the highlands.
00:02:25
Speaker
Yeah. You guys shouldn't do Spengo with me. I've already done that. Well, Alexis has already done Spengo. She hated it. I don't understand how you hate it. I just, not for me. I'm a spin only person. You can get me free.
00:02:41
Speaker
I think I have a bring a friend unless they took it away because I didn't use it fast enough because I don't have that many friends. But I think I have a bring a friend. But also you get your first, you get Raven.
Gaming Antics
00:02:54
Speaker
Raven and your future husband have been attacking me left and right.
00:03:01
Speaker
Oh, I don't, I don't have him, but Alexis must have had some beef with me today. I opened up my phone, Alexis damaged your landmark. Alexis damaged your, twice in the same hour. She had to be gunning for me. Ain't no way how rudely fucked up twice in the same hour. So Raven hit you in the middle and I was like, well, she can't steal my thunder. So I just decided to do all of them.
00:03:28
Speaker
No, because y'all I've been having I had I had a little monopoly gold burnout. Okay, I haven't been playing because I'm so because I'm so sad that I'm not gonna get all of my all of my things because all the ones I need are golden stickers and it's so hard to come by packs that have golden stickers. I need six stickers. Four of them are gold.
00:03:55
Speaker
two are regular, they're five-star cards. I did finish a pack today, though. All the ones I need are five-star cards. And the Facebook group are scammers. They've scammed Jared three times already. Jared needs to stop hearing this. He really does. He learned his lesson this third time, but that's kind of funny. But I'm just like, Monopoly Go has been Monopoly going.
00:04:24
Speaker
But I was saying something before Raven viciously attacked me. I don't really know what you're talking about. I don't either. Oh, working out. You said you can. Oh, yeah, I think. Oh, yeah, I was checking to see if I would bring a friend.
Book Discussions & Ratings
00:04:43
Speaker
OK, well, let's get into the first thing we said we were going to talk about. Books, so.
00:04:55
Speaker
I think I only, I only read two books since when was the last time I recorded. So how do I lie? No, okay. Okay. We talked about reading Neighbor Favor. We have all since read Neighbor Favor.
00:05:14
Speaker
Okay, I accidentally DNF'd accidentally. Okay, see the only reason I finished okay, that's not the only reason I have to finish books, but like, I accidentally D because I was reading it while we were like in Paris and stuff. And then once I got back from Paris, work was literally insane. And I didn't have two seconds to breathe. And my library book thing went
00:05:41
Speaker
up before I had a chance to finish it. And I was like 60% of the way through it. It was a genuine accidental DNF. I did not mean to not finish them. Okay. Well, we'll say our rating. I think I feel like I agree with like a three. I rated it. Yeah. I said it had to be with us.
00:06:05
Speaker
My mom had beef with us. She was like a three? Only a three? And I was reading that book and literally, cause I brought my Kindle everywhere in Paris. Anytime we were doing some, boom, the Kindle. And people would be asking me what I'm reading and I'd be telling them. And my mom be like, no, you're making it sound bad. Because when I tell you, I feel like those people had very little emotional intelligence.
00:06:27
Speaker
Like genuinely. I just thought it was weird, like the beginning. It was kind of. And then we just switched to real life. Why couldn't we mix the emails in there? Maybe if we'd done that, I would rate it a four. The email thing didn't really bother me as much as I thought it would based on how you described it. I was like, why doesn't, like why doesn't he just. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like generally, because like even with like his whole like dad thing,
00:06:56
Speaker
what would telling her how would telling her get back to your dad yeah it was so dumb i it wasn't so dumb but it was like parts of it i was like literally they have the communication skills of two rocks but um what did i actually read
00:07:17
Speaker
I read okay, I'll go through my list first cuz I know you're gonna want to talk about this book next So after neighbor favor I read fourth wing I read it that three stars Casey save your thoughts then I read get a life Chloe Brown Um, I feel like y'all hyped it up too much for me that I couldn't fully give it a five I gave it a four literally
00:07:37
Speaker
There is no way that's true. Me and Raven have both equally said that is the worst in the trilogy. Y'all, that is our least favorite trilogy so much that I just feel like I can't give it a five. It actually, okay, I haven't read the second one yet, but it wasn't bad. It took me forever to finish it.
00:07:55
Speaker
almost a month. Yeah, I rated it a four. Then I listened to Girl Within Our Job because I listened to the podcast and finally decided, okay, maybe I should listen to the book. Then I recently finished Secretly Yours yesterday. Oh, okay. We rated it the same. Yeah, a four. Secretly Yours is good. I'll probably read the second one. I also don't know if I'm a Tessa Bailey fan.
00:08:24
Speaker
I can't remember if I read any books. I don't think, um, no. Oh yeah. I rated it a three. Um, and then after this, I'm supposed, I have the nanny until like 10 days. So then I should read that. And then daddy diaries by Andy Cohen. And then what's its face? The third installment of.
00:08:53
Speaker
Things we never got over, things we had from, which one's the first one? The light? Yeah. Things we never got over. Okay. The third book of that one comes out. I promise you, if this third one sucks like the second one, I will never shut up about it. I'm not writing those. Maybe I'll try those. For 500 pages, it better not suck.
00:09:19
Speaker
Okay wait Alexis, I have a question. Did you read or listen to for me? I read it, but I don't think fantasy books are my thing because I then tried to listen to a court, the first one. Yeah, it's not for me. I feel like it's not giving fantasy. Okay, so I'll just say, so in the time we were apart, I think I read The Silent Patient. I don't remember if I mentioned that. I remember talking about it. But I read The Silent Patient.
00:09:50
Speaker
and it was I rated it three stars honestly it was whatever genuinely like as someone who maybe in the future would like to be a therapist that man need his license taken away expeditiously and then I read yellow face y'all yellow face is literally is that that book with the creepy eyes so annoying
00:10:18
Speaker
yes and so it's called yes and it was good like but it was like it was so the main character i've never met not even met i've never read of someone so unlikable and i feel like i say this a lot but every time the unlikableness just gets built up on built up on built this woman was truly the worst in the in every way possible
00:10:45
Speaker
she was just the worst and I don't want to spoil anything because I want people to read this book but yeah but right now I am currently 15 hours into listening to 16 hours into listening to fourth wing and this book is giving me the feeling of reading hunger games for the first time
00:11:08
Speaker
It is giving me that giddiness of, oh my God, what is gonna happen next? And I love it. I listen to it in the morning while getting ready. I listen to it on my way to work. I listen to it on my lunch break. I listen to it on the way home. It just gives you that feeling that makes you so happy. Rebecca Yarrow single-handedly is sprinkling a little bit of joy into my life every day. Like, oh my God.
00:11:38
Speaker
My co-worker said that I reminded her of the Divergent series with dragons and stuff. No, yeah. Literally, it gives Divergent, but no beef with Veronica Roth. It gives Divergent with better world building, better characters, better storytelling.
00:12:01
Speaker
Like, this main character, I love her. I love Violet Sorengale. I love Zaden Ryerson. I dislike Dane Atos. And I, like, I love these characters. They are so cute. And I love that they're not kids. That is like one of my favorite parts, that they're not kids. So I don't have to feel bad.
00:12:27
Speaker
whenever they're fighting and getting beat up. Cause I don't have to be like, that is a child. Have you read it? Why would you put a child? Why is a child going into war? I'll get it in like eight weeks. Oh my God. I randomly got this. Like sometimes, sometimes I just check and see like if things will be randomly available and it was, and I immediately snapped it up. Cause I knew that this should not be available. I will read the second one though.
00:12:57
Speaker
I'm gonna read the second one, the third one. Apparently they're supposed to be like five of them. But I did get a spoiler where I learned that one of my favorite characters dies towards the end. So that's gonna be depressing. Is that all you've been reading? So it says I'm 413th in line. Oh my god, you are never getting that book. Go buy it. Oh, Raven, did you ever finish Thunderhead? No.
00:13:28
Speaker
makes sense. I am about 20 chapters in I think. Thunderhead was like genuinely kind of boring until the end. Yeah, it's a slow one for me. Yeah, it was kind of boring till the end. I still have not had a chance to finish the toll. But and I bought it too. Maybe I just need to read it. But it's such a big book. And big books are so hard to read. Oh, wait, and I bought another book that I wanted to show y'all don't look at my butt.
00:14:00
Speaker
I forgot we were recording when I said that. I bought this book. It's called Once More with Feeling.
00:14:22
Speaker
And it's like the second in a book that, I forgot what it was called, but it was just a funky cover. And it's about a pop star who stops being a pop star because she like, I don't know, it just sounded good when I was at Target and I wanted to spend money. That's just me being honest. When was the second book of? Oh, okay, I don't remember the name.
00:14:51
Speaker
I know it's like Walnut Hill series. No, not ringing a bell. No. Y'all, I think in a couple months, the second book. Oh, OK, now I know what you're talking about. I don't know. I think it comes out in October. The Maple Hill series. Yeah, Icebreaker. OK, Raven, your turn.
00:15:22
Speaker
Okay, so you said August, right? I guess, did I talk about excuse me while I ugly cry? No. Okay, so I read that one. That one was good. I gave it four stars. Four stars. I think it would have been a lot better when we were in high school. Is it easier?
00:15:48
Speaker
No, but it talks about it's like it's based in high school and talked about some like topics about being black. Were we even reading in high school? I'm really loving your blackness. Okay, maybe I should read it. Were we even reading in high school? Not really. I kind of did, but it was like phases. What was the Hunger Games?
00:16:17
Speaker
Fault in Their Stars. Freshman year? Okay. Okay. That makes more sense. I think that was like freshman year. Yeah. Okay. And then I've read two books by Frieda McFadden, Never Lie. Yeah. And which one was Never Lie? That was the house one, right? Oh, I read Never Lie too. I forgot to put it in my Goodreads.
00:16:41
Speaker
Yeah, I read that one. I rated that one five stars. Really? When I tell you I was on the plane when I finished it, I called it. I was like, I think this, like I didn't call who the dude was, but I called who the girl was. I give it five. The next one I want to read by her is the inmate.
00:17:00
Speaker
Okay, so that's the next one I read. The inmate, I rated it four stars. I listened to this one. I think it was good. It was predictable. But like, I feel like all her books are a little predictable, but that's why I want to keep reading them to see if I'm right. Yeah, so the inmate, it was predictable. And like, I kind of enjoyed this one. I don't know why I rated it four stars. There's a reason I rated it four stars.
00:17:29
Speaker
I don't remember. You didn't like write notes? Or like in the description? No. Don't I believe in reviews? We don't even talk about young reviews. And then I read this girl by Colleen Hoover, which is the third book in the slam series. And you know, I love Colleen Hoover and everything. But she does this thing with her books where it's like the first book
00:17:54
Speaker
is like a story. A second book is a continuation of the story. And then the third book is just the same book as the first and second, just holding the man's point of view and you're literally rereading the same book over again. And I don't know. We won't be getting it ends with us. It starts with us.
00:18:13
Speaker
This is the end of us. I don't know. I'm gonna read it if we get it. But like, I hope it's not. Don't sue me. I've never I still didn't read it starts with us.
00:18:26
Speaker
That's fine. I got my mom. My mom read It Ends With Us and then read It Starts With Us in like two weeks. So I was like, mom, they're so good. Look, you have to read this one or read that one. I never read It Starts With Us. I was like slowly reading it and my mom was like, Casey, just let me finish it. And I just never picked it back up. Yeah, it's okay. And so now my current reads are Thunderhead, which is just, it's going slow. And then
00:18:55
Speaker
I'm reading this book, The Lies I Tell. It's a thriller. And then I'm listening to The Locked Door by Frieda McFadden. I'm telling you, she's having a popping career right now. Yes. I like with the videos of them like ranking it from at least
00:19:24
Speaker
to best or best to least. What's at the top? What's the best one? Some people, they actually don't say the housemaid. The ones that I was looking at. I think they said never lies up there. Which one is it? I have it on hold. I think maybe it is the locked door. It might be the locked door.
00:19:54
Speaker
Let's see. We got to talk about Book Talk. I.
Fantasy Football Fever
00:20:01
Speaker
After Casey told us about. Oh, yeah. Who told us about one of our sponsors? Wait, so we draft tomorrow. Yes, at 6.30 PM. We draft tomorrow. If you didn't notice, my mom has joined, and she wants to make it known that she's coming for blood.
00:20:25
Speaker
Oh my gosh. Y'all, what if I miss the draft because I'm going to be at work? Suck it. Do we have an order? You have to reschedule it, Alexis. I'm not rescheduling. I mean, I'll try. Am I on a time limit? I don't know. Yes. I do be on my phone at work. Don't get me. But it is like an hour and a half process sometimes.
00:20:53
Speaker
I don't even know where my app is. Yes, I do fantasy every year. Oh. Alexis, did you not do fantasy whenever me and Raven did fantasy like two years ago? No, but I feel left out every time Jared does it. So I told him we needed to do one together. That's how we got here. Wait, where? I don't even know where my app is. I thought I just kicked my people and we were dying.
00:21:16
Speaker
No, it's like, oh, and you have to update your lineup every week. And then, um, but you don't pick it's a snake or are you don't, are we doing a snake draft? Do I look like I know the answer to that question? No, no. So it's going in a specific order. And so you, like, you each have a chance to pick.
00:21:35
Speaker
but then there's like a certain amount of time. So some people like literally investigate and spend their whole entire time looking and then they finally at the last second do it. So it's not like quick, quick, quick. It's like- I will say all the guys that are in this draft, they had a draft party last week. They probably could care less about this one. Yeah. I'm, I think I'm gonna, I don't know. I'm in two drafts. Are we putting money on it? No. In it? Oh, let me not be on Instagram right now.
00:22:05
Speaker
um it is a draft oh glad you know the answer to that kc i'm feeling thirsty oh oh oh oh oh my bad my bad my bad i need some water okay guys so you guys we all get thirsty i'm i'm not gonna beat around the bush maybe we don't drink enough water
Ad Reads and Promotions
00:22:34
Speaker
But you know what can fix that? Liquid IV. Because after a rough weekend in the streets, I need something to replenish, okay? Because a lot of water is not being drank. I just got to be honest. It's true. And what do I personally love about Liquid IV? It tastes good. There are so many flavors. I can go three months without having the same flavor.
00:23:04
Speaker
One month, I'm a tropical punch girly. The next month, passion fruit. The next month, strawberry lemonade. And some different, some different. That's all I'm saying. I love it.

No, tell me, when did I say the word soil? We'll talk about it later. I don't want to talk about it later. Talk about it right now.
Book Talk Drama
00:25:02
Speaker
anyways back to book talk drama okay can you give me like a rundown because i said soy did it sound like soil oh man i need a rundown because i kind of understand what's going on but i also forgot okay so try name drop name drop who cares y'all also this drama is two months old
00:25:32
Speaker
This is irrelevant. And you know what? Clickbait. Clickbait. So, someone from Booktalk. Kira Lewis. Dang, she said her last name too. The entire thing? She's known for her reaction videos. Annoying.
00:25:59
Speaker
Yeah, guys, can I just say I never followed her because I had bad vibes off Joan. No, for her to be sexualizing this man from country music on. Let it Raven finish. So she's been reading a lot of books that contain hockey. And so the Seattle Kraken. Kraken's. Kraken's reached out to her, flew her out to a game. And while she was out at the game, she was like posting
00:26:27
Speaker
videos of the players doing their stretches, you know, making jokes and lewd comments. Yeah. And so that was like back in April. It's been a while. And so the Kraken's TikTok was also posting thirst traps and all these types of videos about their players as well. Well, one specific player she clung to and recently that player's wife called her out.
00:26:56
Speaker
pretty much, and said it wasn't okay what she was doing and what else am I missing. And that like, and she was really like, while she was calling like Kira out, she was also calling everybody out, cause they were like on pictures of their children and stuff on like their, on his Instagram, people were posting stuff like, oh my gosh, I'm just a whole, and stuff like that on pictures with kids and stuff.
00:27:24
Speaker
And, but then, so then after all that happened, the Kraken's unfollowed her and stuff. And then she was getting all this backlash because this woman like tagged her in this post. It wasn't just a general like, leave my husband alone. She said, Hey, you leave my husband alone. And then Kiara reached out to the wife and was like, I'm sorry, I'll take the video down and everything. And then the wife ignored her. Yeah. So she got upset about that because
00:27:55
Speaker
Which like, that's why you just can't, that's why you shouldn't be weird on the internet. Yeah. It was a little like, like that. Why would you, that's basically you went to this man's job and yelled at him. Oh baby. I'm just three holes in public. She like kind of got started. Correct.
00:28:18
Speaker
I mean, I get that, but also stop being, but like it went from book people who don't exist to real life people. Like that man is not that character from that book. She started with real life people. She started with country music singers. Then we went to books. Then we went to this. I didn't know I didn't follow her. She went to a lot of country music singers, but I mean, all of them are singles, so they really don't like care.
00:28:43
Speaker
But, and then people were like, aye, his wife better than me, cause I would have been like, aye, can y'all stop? It's never gonna be you. Even if it wasn't me, it wouldn't be you. I was like, dang, that's crazy. His wife should have posted that. His wife should have ripped that right off the internet.
00:29:02
Speaker
And then one big topic was that she was fine with it in the beginning and actually wants to come after me three months later or whatever. She's withdrawing consent. Yeah, I'm like, Bessie, you just got weirder. Like at first, oh my god, your husband's so hot. Yeah, my husband is hot. You yelling to my husband, I'm nothing but three holes? Yeah, man. Maybe sit me down. Maybe chill out just a little bit. Is the wife present at the game that she was at?
00:29:32
Speaker
Do we know? I don't know. But even if she was, they were sitting in a different area. But she posted it on her. TikTok? Yes. Like, Rusty. Yeah, it was all fun and cute when you were just calling her husband hot. That's weird. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah.
00:29:57
Speaker
So you could have just read your books and made little thirst posts about book characters. Mm-hmm. But then you started talking about real life people. And filming them doing stretches like that. Yeah. Like invading privacy. Like imagine if we were like cheering and stuff and someone just came like filling us while we did our. It goes, hey, hey, hey, hey. One thing about me, I can fill a hole. Can you imagine?
00:30:25
Speaker
Can you imagine if a dude came and said that? I'm screaming and throwing up in his face. Huh? The authorities are being called expeditiously. If I heard a man say that about me, I'm at the gym.
Night Out Stories
00:30:47
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Men are already weird.
00:30:54
Speaker
Oh wait, speaking of me being weird, y'all I have so many funny stories from going out that y'all, that I want y'all to come out with me so we can- Are we supposed to be going out next Friday? Okay, great. Sounds like it's not really going to happen and I was kind of hoping we were kind of relating with that energy. It's because I'm getting my hair done that Friday. It's because I can't sweat out my hair.
00:31:22
Speaker
It is going to be on Saturday, they'll be there for sort of. It is going to be pretty sweaty. Yeah, I'm getting my hair done on Saturday. It's just whenever I have time to. But y'all, because the other week, first of all, the other week, we were we were out and we were hanging out. We were like kind of like mid back from like where the DJ was. And we're dancing, having fun, you know, talking, you know, you know, I'm doing well, I'm doing well.
00:31:51
Speaker
And a dude come up behind me, and I think he's trying to move out the way. Cause then I'm like, and I was like, yeah sure, let's dance. So we're dancing, and some Lil Wayne song is on. And Lil Wayne says, the word, you know? The word. And from what I had peep, the dude behind me was not.
00:32:15
Speaker
the word, and I heard him say it. So I turn around and I go, I'm hearing a lot of the word, but I'm not seeing a lot of the word. I love how you choose now not to say the word, even though you said it previously in this episode. I did? Yes, you did. I said it in this episode. I just want that to be noted that this episode will be more explicit. Wait, did I? Yeah, when you were talking about going out earlier in your little interview.
00:32:45
Speaker
Well, then I'm going to redo the story with saying it, because it's so hard. No, we're good. We're good. We don't need to go back. Just keep it forward. OK, so I look at him and I go, I'm hearing a lot of niggas, but I'm not seeing a lot of niggas. What are you?
00:33:02
Speaker
And he looks at me, he goes, I'm half. I go, what half? He goes, my mom, what did he say? My mom is half. And I go, that's not, you know, typically mixing up. I'm gonna need you to stop. And then he goes, wait, you can't tell? I'm like, nah, baby, that quarter ain't showing. I'm gonna need you to get off from behind me.
00:33:29
Speaker
But then he kept on trying to loiter around. And so where we were at, they had these big smoke guns, right? And so they started shooting the smoke guns while I'm telling this, while I'm telling this dude to leave. And he's like, oh, you want me to kick rocks? And me and my roommate are like, yeah, get out of here. But then they start shooting off the smoke gun. He wraps his
00:33:53
Speaker
What did he do? He like grabbed my wrist and wraps his arm around my roommate and I can't see because of all the smoke. So I grabbed my roommate cause I'm like, I ain't gonna let him snatch you. Cause I was like, this dude was a weirdo and then we left. But yeah. Cause also we saw a pregnant lady out. You see that? Like it's amazing.
00:34:24
Speaker
It was, cause why would she be out there? Like we were standing in line and we were, and then we were talking to a bouncer. Cause we were like, he was talking to us and then we just both go, Oh my God. And he's like, what? And I was like, we just saw a pregnant lady and he goes, Oh my God. And we were like, Oh my God, get off the monopoly. Nine minutes ago, you attacked by landmark.
00:34:49
Speaker
But yeah, you guys, I have a lot of fun outside. Cause then also we were embarrassed because we went to go show our ID to get in someplace and tell me why the bouncer looks at us and goes, Oh, I know you guys go on in. No, you don't please. How am I supposed to keep my, keep my facade of, no, I don't really go out that much. I don't really, I don't really go out if you don't out me like that in front of all these people.
00:35:20
Speaker
You know, we should make that a segment. Stories with Kasey. But before we get into the last segment of the podcast, Kasey. A word from our sponsor, Zincaster. Unprepared. Hey yo, Zincaster, what you got to say?
00:35:42
Speaker
I'm just kidding, I am prepared. Y'all, I don't understand why I'm the person that has to do this, but okay. Okay, y'all, so y'all know if y'all listened to the first episode that we started this podcast because we just be chit-chatting, we just be gabbin', and we are codependent, which is why we started it, because we needed an excuse to actually talk to each other once a week.

Life Updates & Car Troubles
00:37:35
Speaker
Now we're going to get into what we did during this one month hiatus. It was probably a little longer, but in my mind it was only a month. I'll start.
00:37:46
Speaker
So, I quit my job. I got a new job. I start very soon. Still in the same field. If you really wanna know what that field is, scroll down to the first episode. Hudson update, he's doing great. I cry every time I look at him because he's getting so big. He's probably like 10 pounds now, no longer three.
00:38:15
Speaker
And he's doing great. He goes in for surgery in October. So that's going to be great. It's also going to be really sad because he's not going to handle this cone situation very well. He might not have to have one. Why not? Neither of my dogs had to have cones when they got fixed. Well, maybe. If not, I'm buying him the donut from Amazon solely for amusement purposes.
00:38:47
Speaker
Um, but yeah, he's doing great. We're doing great. Oh, I should tell you what happened to me yesterday. So I was going to work. I was in the turn lane. I already didn't want to be there. So I should have taken this as my sign to just stay home. Um, I was in the turn lane and my car shut off. Like just went black. First of all, I wasn't in parks and that was scary. My flashers wouldn't work. My windows wouldn't
00:39:15
Speaker
You know, roll down, I had to call AAA. Apparently, my battery was toast. I've only had this car for two years. It's brand new. And the battery just goes out. It's all good now, you know. And there's something else wrong? No. At least that's what they told me. So I got the battery replaced, everything's working fine now. Like dang.
00:39:43
Speaker
Yeah, speaking of cars, I popped my tire. Actually, I think someone slashed my tires. It looks distinctly like a knife wound in my tires. And I had to go up there. And the same dude is like my person every time I go up there. And I know he's sick of seeing me. But so the funny thing that happened was, so when I went to go pick up my car, because they gave me a loaner, because I brought my car in at like the end of the day, because I had gotten off of work and my tire was flat.
00:40:11
Speaker
After I had been in my car all day and my car hadn't said nothing, but okay, it was in a day. And so I had to have, the car that they gave me as a loaner was an electric car. And many electric cars have 100 miles at a full charge. And when they gave it to me, it only had 66 miles on it. So I had to drive it to my parents' house, charge my car,
00:40:41
Speaker
and then drive back to my apartment and then drive to work and stuff like that. And so at the end of the day, I was like, well, I'm gonna go get some boba to make me feel better. This is the next day and I gotta return my car and pick up my car. So I go, I get the boba, I get me and my mom boba. I walk into the dealership, they look at me and they go, two of the little attendants, guys, they look at me and they go, you came in here and you didn't bring boba for everybody?
00:41:12
Speaker
And now I'm embarrassed. I was trying to do a nice thing for my mom. And now you have embarrassed me. I'm never bringing my car back there. That's not true. I probably will be back. Next time I need an oil change, but they better not embarrass me a second time. What else has happened, Casey? I don't think. Literally nothing has happened. Yeah, Raven.
00:41:41
Speaker
Yeah? What's happening in your life since I literally don't talk to you? Tell me about it. I've been working. Well, we know that. You have two new people. Nothing's new. Nothing new is happening. We'll try again next month. Raven. Well, nothing new has happened to me either. Same. I'm going to get a new job.
00:42:12
Speaker
I'm so excited about it. You know, if they decide not to give me an exit interview, how do I politely ask for one? Because I feel like I need to voice.
Exit Interview Etiquette
00:42:24
Speaker
Just be like, oh, are we going to do an exit interview? No, it's, um, it would be on paper, which is great because I've been documenting all the things that have been happening to me and to other people. I'll say this off. No way. Just in case anybody wants to come listen to this episode, you won't bite me in the butt.
00:42:45
Speaker
Okay, I think we're good. Okay. Well, see you guys later. Love you. Promise we won't be gone so long next time. Yeah. I swear. Okay, bye. Bye.
