This is our podcast song. It isn't very long.
Introduction to 'Laughing with Gingers'
00:00:08
Speaker
Hi, Sarah. Hi. Thanks, everybody, for tuning into Laughing with Ginger's. The podcasts were two feisty redheads with loud laughs, share crazy stories, play games, and spread silliness and joy. That burnt little redhead over there. That burnt woman.
00:00:31
Speaker
is my Partner in Crime on the Laughing with Ginger's podcast, freshly back from Burning Man, Christina Curry, the one and only. Oh my god, that was an amazing intro. And that is your elephant newly certified diver, who will probably be burnt in the future. And my co host of Laughing with Ginger's.
Environmental Impact: Reef-safe Sunscreen
00:00:55
Speaker
You know, water means sun.
00:00:58
Speaker
That is true. That is true. It was a conversation. We Yes, yes. It was many, many conversations about my burning. Yeah, waterproof sunscreen. Yeah, I have my face sunscreen is reef safe. But and it's water resistant.
00:01:21
Speaker
But I guess they haven't actually tested that. So some boats apparently won't let you put sunscreen on on the boat, which I did not expect. So it'll damage the boat. The reef.
00:01:36
Speaker
I pulled up a list once. There's a list of what is good for reefs and what's
Burning Man vs Underwater Adventures
00:01:43
Speaker
not good for reefs. So they haven't actually done extensive testing, so they don't know if it's actually good for reefs. They just are like that it's okay with the reef, apparently. Oh, wow. Interesting. Divers are big like earth friendly, conservative. I love it. I'm with them on it.
00:02:02
Speaker
you know, keep this planet in the best shape possible people, which was super fun.
00:02:10
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. We were doing literally the opposite thing. I was underwater. You had no water in the air. Yeah. I was in the dust. You were in really nice delicious water. Crystal clear water. We were both wearing sunscreen though. Yes. True. True. And we were both probably carrying a lot of heavy gear. Yeah. Yeah. I did a lot of work. A lot of manual labor. Yep. Yep.
00:02:40
Speaker
Me too. We both played with bowling balls. That's true. We did. I played basketball under the water with bowling balls. Christina played pool with bowling balls, which I'm now realizing pool has two meanings, like water pool and pool table pool. It was a giant pool table and the balls were bowling balls.
00:03:03
Speaker
How funny is that? That is so funny. I love it. You were playing with bowling balls. Yeah. And well, and we were like, essentially what I was diving in is like an underwater amusement park, basically. There are mazes and like games to play and a carousel and a Black Hawk helicopter, all this stuff. And that's kind of what you were doing too.
00:03:29
Speaker
I mean, technically, the Playa is an ancient seabed. So same. That's why it's called the Playa. Yeah. So same but different. It is kind of trippy to think that you're standing on a spot in the world that used to be the bottom of a deep ocean with a bunch of live, you know, fish swimming around and bottom feeders and shrimp and coral, maybe. And it trips me out sometimes.
00:03:59
Speaker
I'm sure that's the only thing anyone is tripping out on or about at Burning Man. Yes. Drugs are illegal, kids.
Playing 'Never Have I Ever' with Listeners
00:04:08
Speaker
Federal land.
00:04:12
Speaker
I guess I'll have to take that one off my list for Never Have I Ever, which is what we're playing today. Oh my God, I can't wait. We brought glasses of wine. And if you guys want to play along out there, we'll give you a second. Go get some wine. Go get a beer. Go get tequila. That's all you want. Because we're about to play Never Have I Ever. Yep. Yep. The drinking game version.
00:04:41
Speaker
We're drinking game version stuff. We're going to learn some stuff about each other. And it's going to be quite interesting. Yes, it was very hard not to cheat at this because I have such an elephant memory. And I wanted to, I mean, I almost almost said never have I ever peed and not wash my hands on a podcast.
00:05:09
Speaker
Oh, I got a drink. I was rushing. She was. She was. We had to pause so that Christina could use her little tiny pea-sized bladder to pee. She forgot to mute herself, so I was part of the experience. Everyone heard, and they know I didn't wash my hands.
00:05:41
Speaker
Oh boy. I feel like mine are kind of not that risky and I feel like I should have gotten riskier. Mine?
00:05:53
Speaker
Mine are really random. Okay. I got to tell you, I was like, I don't know what to ask or what to say. So I went on and I just started typing never have I ever. And there was a blog that said, here's 250 questions to ask.
00:06:15
Speaker
And literally I read through the first like 30 of them and all of them was, yes, I've done that. Yes, I've done that. Yes, I've done that. Yes, I've done that. I'm like, this is going really poorly. I need another list. I had to do another Google search and that list was like out the window. Yeah. It was really hard for me not to choose things that
00:06:44
Speaker
I could guess that you had done. So I chose some random things. I'm here for it. I'm here for random. Mine are probably kind of random too. Mine are a little not not risque. But still, that's okay. My first one is a gimme. Okay, go. What is it? And you're gonna have to tell the story about it. Oh, is this is this is this part of the game? Do we have to tell the story?
00:07:12
Speaker
I don't know. Well, it depends on what the story is. This one's safe. Okay, cool. We'll ease you in, but it's totally a gimme.
Amusing Stories and Past Experiences
00:07:21
Speaker
Okay, okay. Never have I ever read children's stories to adults dressed up as a sprout. Oh my God, I have to take a drink. This one, you got to tell the story. Yeah, okay, let me take a drink.
00:07:39
Speaker
My playa name is Rainbow Sprout. It's very like whimsical playa name and I have this like rainbowy gradient felt sprout hat and that's how I got my name because sometimes I can be a little like rose-colored glasses and naive and like everyone's nice and sweet and not so like less real like you know and anyway
00:08:03
Speaker
So I do this event on the Playa called Reading Rainbow with Rainbow Sprout, and we read kids' books out loud. And I read one to get it all going, but then I invite others to read it because it's actually really fun to read kids' books out loud and be animated and do the noises and stuff.
00:08:23
Speaker
and last year I did well 2019 I did it and like one kid showed up and then the rest were adults but it was sweet she gave me this bracelet that when you unhook it it turned into a unicorn and then you broke it apart and you could hook it back as a bracelet it was adorable and she showed me how it worked it was so sweet
00:08:43
Speaker
That's so cool. Yeah, it was cool. So yeah, we read books this year. I did the event again, and a couple of my campmates brought books and all of the books they brought made everyone cry. You know how kids books can really be those tearjerker like, Oh God. Yeah, so they all made us cry. The last one we read was the Giving Tree. So of course, everyone cried at the end for that also.
00:09:08
Speaker
Yeah, but it's really cool. It's a very like chill event. And it's really fun to relive your childhood memories through kids books. So true. Yeah, I love it. I love it. It's one of my like favorite little Christina isms.
00:09:22
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. It kind of started because one night we're all sitting around. Oh, I found a book. I found a kid's book randomly at Burning Man 2017 or 18. And I threw it in my basket. And then it was like two in the morning, we're all surrounded by like, or we were surrounding a fire. And it was like a very chill mode. And I whipped it out and just started reading it. And everyone like cried and we loved it. And it was wonderful. So I'm like, I'm going to do this again.
00:09:50
Speaker
I love it. I love it. Well, you've got one finger down. Cool. Oh, yeah, that's right. Five fingers. Okay. One finger down. I'm at four. I remember that. Okay, I'm gonna say this one because I feel like you have, but I can't remember. But I feel like it's a you're gonna have to drink. Okay. Never have I ever broken a bone.
00:10:21
Speaker
Oh, I've definitely broken. Yes, I knew it. I was like, I'm pretty sure she's broken one. Okay, cool. What about more than one? Well, it depends on how you define broken, because if you define it by fractured, then two. So I fractured my right wrist in high school snowboarding. Barely, like you could barely see it. It was just like a slight fracture.
00:10:49
Speaker
And then after the first year of teaching, so my first year out of college,
00:10:58
Speaker
I was snowboarding again. Oh man. And I took this super risky turn. I used to snowboard with a professional snowboarder. We went once a week for probably three years straight. So I took this really risky turn and it was either that I took this really crappy fall or I was going to hit a tree because I hit a patch of ice. So it was
00:11:27
Speaker
I didn't have an option, so I had to take a fall, but I waited until I was just about to hit the embankment down into the tree to take the fall because I was like, I can recover this. I'll get an edge. I'll get an edge. Never got the edge. And I was like, shit, I got a fall.
00:11:43
Speaker
So when I went down, I went down really hard and I displaced my, um, my, it was my left wrist. I'm left handed. So it's very inconvenient as an art teacher, um, did not be able to demonstrate anything for six weeks, but I, I broke it bad enough that it was like displaced. Um, of course I drove all the way back to where I lived, like right outside of DC from the mountains in Pennsylvania. Um,
00:12:12
Speaker
And they had to pop it back into place. And then I was in a sling. My cast came up to my bicep because if I turned my wrist, then it was going to refracture it because of the way that I broke it. So they had to make sure that I couldn't turn my arm at all. So they had to essentially stabilize it.
00:12:35
Speaker
I lived with all guys in like what I would call basically like a post frat frat house at the time. And no one, no one was interested in helping me put a bag on my arm to take a shower. Yeah, that makes sense. Dudes are terrible. Just kidding. Was your arm straight out or was it bent at the elbow?
00:12:58
Speaker
Oh, dang. Yeah, it was tough because I had to mix chemicals for darkroom photography. And if they get into the cast, then what are you going to do? Yeah, that's not bad news bears. It was bad news bears. But yes, I've broken two things, both from snowboarding, very different ways. And for those counting along at home, you should have both hands up.
00:13:26
Speaker
Since you're gonna get 10 questions total. True. And you need to put your fingers down as we go through. True. Yes. This is correct. Okay, cool. Okay. All right. All right. You ready? Yeah. Never have I ever failed a class. Oh God, I have to drink. Yummy!
00:13:54
Speaker
I had no idea whether or not you failed a class. Dude, it was my first year in college, and I did not realize you could drop a class. I just stopped going. Oh, no, Christina. It was a rough first year of college. I didn't know what I was doing. I took random classes.
00:14:15
Speaker
I had no idea what my degree was gonna be or what I was gonna do with my life. And so I just took random classes and I had no interest in them and I stopped going to like two of them and promptly got like a 1.2 GPA that first semester. I should have probably combined these two. So we're just gonna tack this one on and because one of them was played hooky from school. Oh, 100%.
00:14:46
Speaker
a hundred thousand person I even when I was a four-point student because I did Eventually figure out my shit and like my life and I started going to school seriously but even then as a four-point I graduated I finally graduated for 4.0 and like a couple of accolades so I got I got it together I got it together, but I'm still playing hooky even though I had the 4.0
00:15:12
Speaker
Yeah, I will count those as just one together because you outed yourself by accident. And I have an extra one anyway in case I needed it. Oh, I have a few backups too. We might have to go beyond her five fingers. Oh, goodness. So wait, you've never skipped a class ever.
00:15:35
Speaker
Not unless I was sick or had a real reason, then I couldn't go, had an appointment or something really serious came up. Oh my God. I even skipped classes in high school. Never for me. So my thing with class is I have that crazy memory. So if I went to class, I didn't have to study.
00:16:00
Speaker
But if I didn't go to class, I had to study, which meant I had to buy the books. And since I, I didn't buy any of my books, my textbooks in college after the first year, cause I realized this. So I was like, yeah, I didn't need them unless there was like required reading outside of class. And usually I had somebody else that I knew in the class that I could like use their textbook or we could split the textbook. Um, but I paid for college. So like, you know,
00:16:26
Speaker
$500 on textbooks. That made a dent. Seriously, I remember I would spend thousands on books. It was ridiculous. It was absolutely ridiculous. I know. They're so expensive. And when they do updates, don't get me started on school things.
00:16:49
Speaker
Or I'm like, what, you changed a few words and that's it? Yeah, like the diagram is different on a different page. So now we need a new edition. Yeah. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Shut it down. OK. I'm so curious if this is true. You ready? Never have I ever clogged someone's toilet. Oh, for sure. Oh my god.
00:17:18
Speaker
Um, actually like the one that I can specifically remember is not in the way you would think. And I totally will tell this story. I hope he doesn't ever listen to this podcast because he was magnifying to me.
00:17:32
Speaker
So we had a friend who lived in downtown Annapolis and that's like super old plumbing. And he had historically had problems with his toilets. And I knew this, but I woke up in the middle of the night and I really had to pee. So I used way too much toilet paper by accident because I didn't turn the light on. And I clogged the toilet. It was the middle of the night. And then I was like, I can't do it. I tried to plunge it. It didn't work.
00:18:02
Speaker
It was awful. I was so embarrassed. It was actually like I had. OK, I was in like for sure. You're one of dating Felipe to God asked Felipe. I woke him up and asked him to come try to unclog the toilet. Now imagine how much he thought that I just used too much toilet paper. Like, nope, she took a big old shit and she was trying to cover it up.
00:18:34
Speaker
oh my god it was terrible it was so embarrassing it was so embarrassing um the whole way it unfolded yeah
Youthful Indiscretions and Lessons Learned
00:18:45
Speaker
he had to like call a plumber oh no it's awful okay and you're like seriously it was just pee
00:19:00
Speaker
Like, there's a point where you no longer get to, like, say anything about how you clogged the toilet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Too soon. Oh, God. Cheers to that. Cheers. I'm going to drink for you on that one. That's cringe-worthy. Oh, God, he was embarrassing. Mm-hmm. And you don't embarrass easy. Neither do I. I know. I know. With that, that shit.
00:19:33
Speaker
Oh God. Oh God. All right. All right. Never have I ever snuck out of the house. Oh shit. I have. A hundred percent. Cheers to that one.
00:19:54
Speaker
Yeah, I've definitely snuck out. Sometimes I got caught. Sometimes I didn't. I can't even pinpoint a specific story because I did it a lot. Not a lot, but enough. I did not plan this, but did you sneak out of the house the day you stole the mushrooms?
00:20:18
Speaker
the Oh, those wooden mushrooms. Oh, it must have been the middle of the night. But I don't think I snuck out because so Jennifer, my, you know, longtime best friend who I grew up with, her mom was like one of those cool. Yeah, who like let her do anything. Right. So
00:20:40
Speaker
We would like leave the house out the front door. Her mom did not care. Oh, yeah. So I'm sure we were just wandering around in the middle of the night. You know, nowadays that seems really dangerous. And I can't believe we did that. But we were also it was like a small town in Wisconsin where nothing bad happens to you. Wasn't Ed Gein in Wisconsin?
00:21:07
Speaker
You mean like a serial killer? A serial killer who Psycho is based on. He might have been. He might have been. I'm pretty positive he was in Wisconsin with his nipple belt. I made great choices when I was young.
00:21:24
Speaker
Yeah, it was these cool looking 1960s style retro wooden mushrooms in someone's yard. Me and Jennifer stole them because we thought they'd be really cool to paint. I wish I still had those. I don't even know what happened to them. We never ended up painting them.
00:21:44
Speaker
So for reference, this came up in a previous podcast episode. I have no idea which episode it was. But like I was told I have told this story before. Yeah, in that episode, for those of you who didn't listen to whatever episode it was whenever it aired. Was that the one that Jennifer was on? I don't think so. But it's possible. I feel like you asked me if I ever sold anything. And I was like, Oh, yeah, I did.
00:22:11
Speaker
Yeah, you were like once. In that episode, I was like, oh, my gosh, they were probably like the marker for someone's like dead family pet or like ashes or something. You remember now you made me feel so terrible. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Oh, God. Oh, boy. All right. What have you got for me? OK.
00:22:40
Speaker
Never have I ever learned a TikTok dance. Never. Damn it. I would have thought for sure at least one. Not even like a YouTube dance. Like I never learned the Soulja Boy dance. I never learned any of those. Never. Oh, damn it. I was like, I feel like she probably at least has learned like one. No, I'm so like,
00:23:11
Speaker
I, for some reason, I just like, my friends all learned it and I was like, oh, cool. What do you do with that knowledge? Record yourself and post it on TikTok. I'm not interested in that. Yeah, you have to drink. I know I'm drinking because I'm like, I guessed wrong. I guessed poorly. You chose poorly. I chose poorly.
00:23:38
Speaker
All right. Never have I ever tried psychedelics. Oh, take a drink. Try it and used. Not me. I didn't do it till I was an adult. My brain was fully formed and functioning.
00:24:03
Speaker
I mean, we're not saying that anyone should emulate any of these things. No, absolutely not. Always wash your hands when you pee, people. Don't clog people's toilets. I like how we both went to that.
00:24:18
Speaker
You know, I know. Yeah, there's this like really interesting book by Michael Pollan, which is his best selling New York Times author. And he wrote how to change your mind. And he wrote all about like psychedelics, but he says, you shouldn't really take them until you're like well past like 25, because your brain is so forming and these psychedelics kind of, you know, mesh it up in there.
00:24:42
Speaker
So, luckily, I read the book, but I was already well past 25 when I read it, and I was also well past 25 and responsible when I did it. But, um. I'm not here to judge. Oh yeah, no, I don't feel judged. And I highly recommend that kids, I mean, adults. Disclaimers! I know! Christina does not speak for the Laughing with Ginger's podcast.
00:25:12
Speaker
I only speak on behalf of myself. She could not say whether or not she is being sarcastic in this comment. I may or may not be serious. Oh, my God. I've always wondered if you had. Oh, yeah. Maybe I'll tell you more about it.
00:25:43
Speaker
Yeah, that's when you don't have to tell the story on here. My mom listens, guys. That's true. That's true. Oh, I'm sure I'm sure she would not care. By the way, Jill is coming to pay me a visit next week, everyone. Oh, I'm so jealous. She's gonna be here like a full almost a full week hanging out here. It's gonna be great.
00:26:11
Speaker
Maybe she can join us on Laughing with Ginger's. Yeah, maybe we should have her. Oh, that's true because she'll be like right here with me. Yeah, I love when Jill joins us. I know. She's great. Okay, let's definitely connect on that because maybe we need a Jill episode. I feel like we should. Yeah. We should play Never Have I Ever with Jill.
00:26:33
Speaker
Oh my God. That wouldn't even be fun with my mom. She didn't do anything. Oh my God. I feel like my mom probably didn't either. I don't know. Your mom is willing to experiment.
00:26:50
Speaker
She is, I know, is actually true. I reminded her the other day, she literally went to be a pilot. She went through pilot training and flew a plane by herself and went through all, oh my God, I almost knocked my wine over, oh my God. That is such a big cup that my elbow totally knocked it and I caught it. Never have I ever spilled wine all over someone I just met.
00:27:19
Speaker
Okay, I have a drink. Damn it. You know that I have so many times. Oh my God. I have definitely spilt on strangers. It's honestly, it's a concern. It's kind of like babies. You know that when you go around babies, they're kind of like glazed donuts. Everything is a little sticky with toddlers and infants and babies. And they smell sweet.
00:27:47
Speaker
and they might barf on you or sneeze in your mouth. And you just accept the consequences. It is the same with a spiller. Just reframe your mindset. Christina and I are spillers. If you want to drink wine with us, there's a chance it's going to be all over you. Do we need to wear a name badge or something to call attention to ourselves in that capacity? I generally self-identify and say, I'm a spiller.
00:28:15
Speaker
See, I don't. And also what happens is I spill on strangers and then I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm a spiller. Like it happens. You gotta do it in reverse. And I once did four strangers in a row. I told you that. Right? Like all at once. I'm at an afternoon networking event. Were you spinning around?
00:28:38
Speaker
No, what happened was we sat down, we sat down for like the awards and the speeches and whatever. Oh no, you spilled it on the table and it spread. Listen, it was a round table with a wine glass. Oh no. And of course they set up a wine glass with water and a wine glass with wine. And of course we all had been carrying around a wine glass also. So there's like minimum of three drinks in front of every person.
00:29:04
Speaker
I knocked down one and it was literally Domino's and it just went all the way around for strangers. We had just like met and all three of the people that I came with that works with my company, it stopped at them. So I literally dumped two glasses of wine and a water into a stranger's lap. All four strangers, they got up and left. They literally got up and moved to a different table.
00:29:33
Speaker
I spilled, I spilled a tray of waters all over the editor and chief of on tap magazine when I was waiting tables, reviewing the opening of the restaurant that I was waiting tables at. And he said something that made me like it was just jarred me a little bit. And the whole tray of waters just went on to, he had a hat on like a bucket hat kind of thing.
00:30:03
Speaker
That's so much liquid It was so bad. He did walk me to my car at the end of the night. So it was fine. He was okay with it. Oh my god That was where it ended too. Did you guys make out? No, it was a very it was a very very underdeveloped kind of I mean, I would say it was really at that time very very very sketchy area and I had all my tips with me and he Recognized that and walked me to my car
00:30:32
Speaker
That's really sweet. I feel like listeners out there who are spillers can completely relate to her. I know. If not, then everyone is just pissed because they're like, God, somebody did that to me one time. I know. Oh, my God. They're like, it's you two. It's you two that did that to me that one time. Yeah, nobody is either a spiller or you've been spilled on or both.
00:30:57
Speaker
I still have myself a lot. Oh my god, all the time. All the time. I just looked down the other day and I had wine on my boob when I answered the door. White shirt. Yeah, of course. Of course, it's the red. Of course. What have you got for me? Okay. Oh, it's my shirt? Okay.
00:31:19
Speaker
Never have okay, I don't think that you have done this. But I just wanted to throw it out there and see because if you have I want to hear the story. Never have I ever gone on a blind date. Oh, I almost asked you this too. I've never done one. Um,
00:31:41
Speaker
I don't think I have. I know for a fact I haven't. I feel like that would stand out in my brain as like, holy fuck, I went on a blind date, cray cray. So I guess this is where I say I don't think because my very good friend Jess, who I hope at some point you meet, she is delightful.
Humorous Wedding Stories
00:32:02
Speaker
who was my work colleague and then became my roommate. She knew Philippe because her boyfriend was friends with Philippe at the time. And so she was trying to get me to meet him and she would like change plans at the last minute. Those are air quotes for anyone who can't see me. She would change plans at the last minute to try to get me to meet Philippe.
00:32:29
Speaker
And this is my husband, by the way, for anyone who doesn't know.
00:32:33
Speaker
Um, clearly she was right. And I was very wrong here. I used to get out of the car and like walk home or like Metro home, depending on how far she had gotten me from where we were go or like from our house. Um, and then she finally got me to sign up for kickball and be on his team. So I, in a way, it wasn't an intentional blind date, but I feel like it's a gray area because it was this, it was intentional on her part.
00:33:01
Speaker
And it was a group setting. So yeah. There was an attempt. Yeah. I feel like that's a half finger goes down and a half finger. Hang on. Let me ask you a question. So you went to kickball and were you like, oh, is that the dude over there? No. I never knew his name or anything.
00:33:24
Speaker
Oh, really? So you two just sort of naturally hit it off without her pointing out. That's the guy I'm trying to set you up with. Yeah, actually, I'm talking about snowboarding.
00:33:38
Speaker
Oh my god, that's hilarious. It was like an organic blind date. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know that I can say no. But I also can't totally say yes, because I wasn't privy to the knowledge. But it really did. She really did do a good job to feel Felipe has a totally different origin story of our dating because he didn't know any of this was going on at all. And
00:34:07
Speaker
Yeah, it was just... He had his own experience. His own experience was just meeting me at kickball and it was great. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds like his experience. And they didn't call me because I didn't have... Y'all, we met in 2008, I think, and I did not have a cell phone that texted.
00:34:31
Speaker
Sarah so So he had to actually call me and he's so shy and I didn't know you're shy because we hit it off And so then all geo to be honest Yeah, so then when I he thought he would see me at kickball But I had grad school every other week and he only was coming every other week because he was working on the Zillow Realtor comm merger You guys were off weeks
00:34:55
Speaker
We were off weeks, so we didn't see each other again for like two months. And we saw each other at the last game. And then he was like, I got to button this up. Like I got to see her again. So he was like, yeah, give me a call. Like next time you're in the city. And I was like, oh, no, I don't have your number. You have mine and you didn't call me. And he was like horrified. So then he called like three days early to lock in our next date, which was a group activity.
00:35:24
Speaker
Poor guy. Poor guy. This was the time of flip phones. He had internet on his flip phone. Oh, that's fancy. Yeah, I mean. All I had was Snake on my flip phone, but everyone had that. I forgot about Snake. Remember that game? Snake. Oh my God. Life has changed so much. I know. What is happening? Slow down, world.
00:35:50
Speaker
I know we are ancient in couple life because yeah, even online dating wasn't like a thing. Oh, yeah. I've done eHarmony was founded while we were when we were starting to date. Yeah, Twitter was founded in 08. So that gives you kind of a weird idea. Instagram wasn't founded yet. No, no, Instagram definitely wasn't a thing. Twitter was. But Twitter was like still kind of tiny. It launched in 08.
00:36:18
Speaker
I only know that because it launched at South by Southwest in Austin and I was living in Austin at the time. There's Twitter thing and I'm like, Twitter? I got in early just because I was in it and people were talking about it. And a lot of tech gets experimented in Austin because of South by Southwest. But that's the only reason I know that. That's so interesting. Yeah. Yeah, it's really weird. All right. Am I up? Yeah, I am. Okay. You are.
00:36:46
Speaker
Never have I ever crashed a wedding. Oh, I mean, I feel like this is like a kind of sort of for me also. Bring it. Let's hear it. So one of my like I took a half sip for her. She has not taken her sip yet. Let me take it. Let me take a sip.
00:37:16
Speaker
She's almost through her giant glass of wine, just so everyone knows who's listening out there. I know, I can't believe it. It's 409. It's not a deceiving looking glass either. It was a dead bag and there was a legit lot of wine in there.
00:37:33
Speaker
Um, so we had these like friends that I sort of knew, but like, you know, I was like, I would just see every now and then it like peripheral friends. Yeah. Yeah. They're like my burner friend. It's super nice. Like amazing. I only knew the husband.
00:37:49
Speaker
I never met the wife and, uh, or, you know, the boyfriend girlfriend thing before they were married and a bunch of my friends that I am really close to were going to their wedding in Vegas and it's a burner wedding. And if you've never been to a burner wedding, they're amazing and epic and wonderful because burners do it up. They are really cool.
00:38:07
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, crazy style. They definitely break from tradition, which is really fun. And it's you can wear like what it's not like the traditional wear like super nice clothes that feel really uncomfortable. No, it's like you get to be you and express yourself through what you wear.
00:38:24
Speaker
Exactly. Yeah. So it's super fun. Not to steal your story. No, it's fine. So all my friends, like my close friends that were going were rallying around trying to get me and my girlfriend to go. And so one of my friends is like, well, I don't really have a girlfriend right now, so you're my plus one. So then I'm like, okay, so we're going to Vegas. We're literally crashing at the series of hotels that you buy when it's like, because he was the block. Yeah, he was officiating their wedding.
00:38:54
Speaker
So I was just plus one. We somehow kind of maneuver my girlfriend in and then she takes a seat as someone that just didn't show up and eats their meal. Oh my God.
00:39:09
Speaker
Like we're definitely communicating with the groom on it, you know, and, and my friend is the, you know, he is officiating and he's very close to the cup bowl. And is this Malcolm, happy Malcolm. That was actually didn't go because I feel like he would be an officiant. I don't know him.
00:39:27
Speaker
Yeah, you would make a really good if if me and Angie were ever get married. I feel like he should be the one to marry us because he would be he was Angie's original friends a long time ago back in like 2010 or something. And he knows me really well. He knows her really well. It's a really I should actually give him a warning in case we ever get married. He should marry us.
00:39:46
Speaker
But yeah, it wasn't happiness. But shout out to happiness. And a happy accident happened. One of the couples that was in the in the hotel next to us got pregnant and now they're having a baby. And like it came from the wedding. So it's like super sweet. I know I'm so happy Mike and Shireen shout out to Mike and Shireen. They're having a little baby named Olive and it's so cute. I'm so excited. I can't wait to babysit.
00:40:16
Speaker
So we sort of crashed but like it was all very much group support and like not terrible. But I definitely have to dream because we did pretty much crash the wedding.
00:40:30
Speaker
I sense a gift. That's important. When I was imagining this, I was imagining more of like when I was photographing a wedding, this is what I do in the other part of my non-laughing life. Although I laugh a lot when I photograph it. I think, yeah, it's still fun. Yeah, I have a great time. It's just very different because it's not about me. We had a madam show up.
00:41:01
Speaker
And crash a wedding who's like a very prominent like deals with political figures, madam. WTF? What? Crash a wedding. Yup. Yup. They're also pregnant right now, that couple. But I don't think I can shout that out after I just outed that. They were not pleased.
00:41:23
Speaker
Oh no. Yeah, I wouldn't be pleased having a madam wandering around my wedding. With my grandma. Yeah, that feels really inappropriate for some people. All right. Do you have another one for me? Yeah. Okay. Oh my God. I'm really curious if you've done this. I feel like you are the person that would do this, but I just don't know. Okay. Never have I ever sent a stranger a drink.
00:41:53
Speaker
She's thinking, guys. She's thinking. She's looking up and to her right. She's thinking. I feel like I probably have. This is a thing that you've done. And I wanted to hear this story. So I feel like I did this at the airport with a woman that was crying. Oh, poor lady. She deserved it. Yeah.
00:42:18
Speaker
And this was so long ago. Yes. I'm pretty positive I sent her the drink and I didn't go over and give her a drink or offer her a drink. Yeah, that's fine.
00:42:31
Speaker
But it was in Atlanta, which is like the worst airport on the planet. Maybe not the worst. It's bad though. It's bad. I hate it. I hate it. It's a bad airport. It's a very stressful airport. It's very easy to miss a flight because connections are tight and everyone's connecting.
00:42:50
Speaker
And this one was like, just kind of like quietly crying. This was also before I had a cell phone that texted. Cause this was actually like, this might've been like three days before Felipe and I met actually. Ooh, that's crazy. You remember it as like literally three days. Yeah. And I know because my aunt who helped raise me died. So I was having a tough day and I, when I have a tough day,
00:43:17
Speaker
my coping mechanism is to do something nice for someone else who's having a tough day because then I can kind of like release some of it and say like, at least I made a difference for this person today. And I was out of town when she died. So the whole thing was just very stressful for me, but I'm pretty sure I like sent her a drink by bartender. Yeah, that's kind of how I like envisioned it.
00:43:43
Speaker
happening. Cheers to that. Okay, good. That's a better story than like, oh, there's a cute boy across the way and I just sent him a drink.
00:43:55
Speaker
You know, it's funny when I used to go to the bar with my brother a lot when we were in our twenties, women would send him drinks at the bar all the time and then they would give me like the dirtiest looks and we look like twins. So I was always like, how do you not know? Like you should try to be my best friend. That should always be the default. If you're looking, if there's a guy who has a girl with him and you're looking to potentially hook up with him, be best friends with that girl because
00:44:23
Speaker
you'll find out if that's his girlfriend, it could be a sister, it could just be a friend, but being best friends with them, you'll find that out without being disruptive. And then, you know, but yeah, I mean, I'm sure he also, I think there are very few times Dan went home alone. Get it, Dan, get it. No shame.
00:44:53
Speaker
A man has needs. Women do too. Yeah. And if they're sending over a drink, get it. Get after it. Yep. Yep. Yep. I love it. I like that that women are taking that into their hands and their control.
00:45:12
Speaker
Again, this was before Felipe and I started dating. That was probably in 2006 when the specific incident I'm thinking of happened with Dan getting sent all these drinks. Shout out to Lucky Bar in DC, which I don't think is there anymore. Dan was getting lucky. I know. I kept making that joke.
00:45:33
Speaker
Yeah, I would too. Oh my god, it's so gross. It's so gross. It's so gross. It's so gross. So I have a last one. Okay, yeah. Bring it. This is my last one. I've literally drank all my fingers. I think I have too. And I'm pretty sure that we are both about to drink the remainder of our wine here. Are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready.
00:45:57
Speaker
Never have I ever hurt someone else's ears with my laugh. Oh my god. I feel like we both need a drink on that one. 10,000%. Cheers. Cheers to our laughs. Oh boy.
00:46:18
