Introduction and Gaming Talk
00:00:04
Speaker
Okay, don't be mad that we haven't been on here in like a month. Yeah. It's all my fault, actually. Yeah. Yeah, I've actually been ready. And also, don't be mad that Raven is definitely playing Dream Valley right now on her Switch while we're trying to plot this. How'd you notice? Because she raced her Switch up and she totally moved it down. Is it fine? Oh, I like it.
00:00:35
Speaker
Is it better than Animal Crossing? I like it better than Animal Crossing. It doesn't really sing a lot. I've been trying to finish Luigi's Haunted Mansion. That's my goal. I'm trying to beat it because I've like never like beat a game before like all by myself. And so that's what I'm trying to do. But sometimes it'd be getting me. It's annoying though where I'm at because it's taking me forever to do these quests.
Event Planning Challenges
00:01:08
Speaker
So what have y'all been up to? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, your mouth's vacuuming. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Okay. Lord Jesus.
00:01:30
Speaker
I'll say what I've been doing. You know, a lot of things. Specifically, yesterday I got an email from my DJ that she is pregnant. Yeah. That's unfortunate. She can't DJ while she's pregnant? Yeah. You know, I should read the email. Like three months. Okay. Well, she'll be what? Four? She'll be six.
00:02:00
Speaker
Oh, that's still not eight. Love how that's your concern. Um, she was like, I don't know how I feel. I want this to be like a stress-free process, which I get, you know, like you don't want to be stressed out and pregnant. Um, she'll have to like lift her speakers because she's doing the ceremony cocktail hour and the reception.
00:02:21
Speaker
and she is too so the speaker so she didn't have to carry them to begin with if she don't get somebody to come help her like maybe the dude that got her pregnant her husband works six days a week so she'll need like you know some men's strength to help her so she basically oh i just bit my tongue she basically transferred all of her weddings but two that she still has left in january to this other person so
00:02:44
Speaker
That's
Marriage Counseling and Family Connections
00:02:45
Speaker
where I'm at. It was either get my deposit back, find any DJ in the span of three months, or just, it'll be the same price with him, and just transfer over. And I feel like that was less stress on my end. Yeah, so there's an update about me. And then my officiant just sent me an email too, so that's gonna be great when I look at that. I think it's a form.
00:03:11
Speaker
I don't know what else she needs to send me. She already wrote the whole entire ceremony. I already said I liked it. What else do we have to talk about other than the rest of the money that I owe you? Do you know them? The person? Yeah. She went to elementary school with my mom. See, I've never met her, but my mom knows her. She went to one of the schools, maybe middle school. I don't know. Super nice lady.
00:03:38
Speaker
We've had multiple phone conversations, which is odd because I don't answer the phone for really a lot of people. And they need to like talk about yourself. Do you have to do like couples counseling with her before you before she'll like marry you? We had the option to if we wanted to like add it on, but it wasn't it wasn't just with her. It's another person so that she could have the male perspective side too as well. But then we were going to do
00:04:05
Speaker
like things where you could do marriage counseling and get like a discount on your marriage license. But I think I waited too long to look into that. So now I'm just gonna have to pay the full $75. I'd rather just pay 25. I don't think that one's gonna happen unless I think you have to complete like four sessions. Which I guess I still have time to. Mm-hmm.
00:04:34
Speaker
Like a month because we're getting in towards the end of February. It lasts for 45 days. So anytime after Valentine's Day. Because that's when the venues paid for. Oh,
Social Media and Group Dynamics
00:04:50
Speaker
and I also got a really gnarly paper cut today in case anybody cared. It was very painful. I did almost cry. My bridesmaids dress came in today. She looks delicious in case anybody else was wondering.
00:05:05
Speaker
I don't like that word. Sorry. I do think it's odd that you only have like one pocket, but that's OK. Yeah, I do have one pocket. Does your dress up two pockets? I think so. I think it's because of like, I don't know. I was going to say it's where like the slit is, but anywhere the zipper is, too. Yeah. Well. Is your own cookie?
00:05:35
Speaker
Oh. At 8 p.m. at night. It's almost eight. Round up. It's technically eight. OK, Raven, what have you been up to? That's a lie.
00:06:03
Speaker
You turned 24. Yeah, but what did I do? Yeah, you didn't do anything. What did you do last year? Oh, I probably can't talk about that on here, so I'll ask you when we get off. What?
00:06:25
Speaker
um those pictures that got posted on facebook i know they're from one of them is from your birthday but i can't remember which one and i want to say 16 oh my gosh i know what you're talking about because it's also on instagram it's like two tiktoks a real it's a tiktok okay are y'all added to the group chat yes but i didn't read it
00:06:48
Speaker
I didn't talk about this so we could talk about that. I talked about this so we could talk about your past birthdays. Wait, good chat. Yeah, you're not on Facebook. Me and Alexis, Chelsea. Not that you opened it. Phillip. Phillip? Phillip. I forgot that she was in high school with us because when I saw, I think one of them was for my birthday and I was like, I don't recall her being present. Yeah, but I don't recall her being present for that.
00:07:17
Speaker
Like when I think about their birthday, she was not on that list. So yeah, I thought about that and I was like, huh, I wonder what age that was. Mems. But I think you turned 16 because. Yeah, that was my 16. We were at Saltgrass. That's the outside. Does this show if you take a screenshot? Well, I don't like it. Yeah, um.
00:07:46
Speaker
I was like, but first of all, honestly, I am obsessed with how that person uses Instagram. I want to be able to use Instagram like that. I don't have them on Instagram. Neither do I. Not that we all pause to read this. It was for Instagram.
00:08:15
Speaker
Uh, probably the same. I'm just typing her name. It probably will pop up. Who is Catherine? Fauzy. Oh, beat that out. It's a little late for that. I don't know how to do that. It's okay. We can say that.
00:08:45
Speaker
you are this is a crazy group of people this is an insane mix half
Dating and Relationship Insights
00:08:53
Speaker
of us don't even talk anymore yo that's crazy just imagine all of these people and their significant others yeah yeah that would be livid tell me why we can all have a trip all together so nevermind
00:09:14
Speaker
Stop it. Dang, no invite. Wait, Anthony isn't like... Yes! Oh! She doesn't look like it. She could've just said one of them. Well... Interesting. Interesting. Dang, I wanna be added to this group. Let me get back on Facebook, okay?
00:09:42
Speaker
I just wanna know, like, is anybody gonna respond? I know, I know, like, if you don't have Messenger, it's not gonna pop up until you get on Facebook on, like, a normal computer. Oh. I see two people hearted it. Who are these two people? Me and Chelsea. I was gonna say it was not me. Dang. Yasha just said, oops, I'm just kidding, that's so mean. Aw, man, I'm gonna be dizzy on that day six months from now. And you know what's funny?
00:10:13
Speaker
is that we talked about this on Tuesday. I think yesterday we... Yeah, it was very odd. Very odd. Well, now that we're done talking about people...
00:10:36
Speaker
They're not talking about people. I mean technically we were. We brought up the TikTok. I'd lowkey wanna go to Shicker Factory though. What is that? I thought that was in New York. No, there's one in Dallas. Let's go. Well no, we can't go. Cause that would be kinda rude. Why? If we just like went. If we post it. The same day.
00:11:07
Speaker
Not the same day I would just assume that we were going the same day. No, I mean just like anytime Literally any other day would be fine. Well, let's go Is it like the one in New York? Yeah, it's like it's a chain. Oh, oh Wait, no, I'm thinking of
00:11:35
Speaker
serendipity the place with the frozen hot chocolate or you know i think that's only in new york but sugar factory is like everywhere you know where else i really want to go that place in las vegas with the doughnuts saint on array yes yeah and i want to eat the two i want to drop the coffee no
00:12:03
Speaker
Well, not you, me. I literally want to go not eat for the whole entire day, just sit there and film the TikTok of me trying out all of the donuts, not all of them, Gina, the ones that I like, the pizza because it looks good. And then if her husband's working, I want to ask him, whose idea was it to not season the Cane's Chicken? Because, you know, he's like an investor in Cane's. He basically owns most of them. Oh, yeah. You should ask him. And I want to ask, whose idea was it to not season the Cane's Chicken?
00:12:34
Speaker
Not everybody likes glorified mayo and barbecue sauce. I mean, shoot, I'm tripping. I'll be eating up a cane sandwich. I really do. Yes. I don't understand. You can't eat a plane. I hate it so much, but give me a sandwich combo with an extra cane sauce on the side. Eight minutes gone.
00:13:02
Speaker
Can you eat a Chick-fil-A sandwich plain? Yeah. Like you have to have sauce? No. Oh, yeah, like I could eat that one plain.
00:13:13
Speaker
Chicken Express really doesn't have sandwiches. I could not eat a cane sandwich plain. Sometimes when they put too little sauce on the cane, it'd be making me mad. It'd be making me not even want to eat it. Like one time they forgot my extra cane sauce and my dad wouldn't turn around for me to go back and get it. And that sandwich had no sauce on it. I have never been more mad in my life. Your phone is really having a conversation.
00:13:44
Speaker
Is your aunt still here? What other chicken places have sandwiches? Golden Chick has a sandwich. Oh, that one's good. That one you can eat without sauce. Wingstop has a sandwich. That doesn't count. It comes with sauce. You don't like it? I like it, but I can't eat the whole thing because it's too much seasoning.
00:14:14
Speaker
The um, link stop sandwich? What flavor did you get? I got lemon pepper. Oh, that's why. And I got another one. I wonder if I get the first one. The new barbecue sauce that they have is pretty good. I want to try the like golden one. Yeah, it was really good.
00:14:42
Speaker
I did try another flavor. I have some thoughts about that and I'll save him. I'll save him. Why? Oh, I thought it was cute. I thought it was cute. You're being a hater. I thought it was cute and I thought and I thought the caption was funny.
00:15:07
Speaker
Okay, if we're going best with the caption, yes, I thought it was funny. Just could have done with the caption and the photos. I thought the caption was funny, but I never knew she went through that. Also that, too. Y'all are tripping. Are you all being for real? No, I'm being so serious. Like, I don't recall it, but I also we weren't that close then. So that is an insane thing. I don't remember it. I recall it.
00:15:34
Speaker
Now, if this is like someone I went to elementary school with posting this, oh, 100%, you went through the error. This, I don't know about that. Wow, we are being very vague. That's what he will obviously, obviously. Casey, what have you been up to? Nothing. Are we allowed to talk about,
00:16:01
Speaker
yeah i never told him i had a podcast oh great okay because i got some thoughts huh you gotta tell me about him i never told you yes yes you did because i told you to answer the phone when you were yeah at your house that is when we talked about him that's this is the same person you were at your house that gave me the that gave me the manga and the sticker
00:16:29
Speaker
Yeah, so I want to know how he went from a gift to you thinking he doesn't like you because he waved at you from across the parking lot. So is this a second thing, a second date? Yeah, they went to Velvet Taco. He hit me with a... Wait, let's go from the beginning. Fine, from the beginning.
00:16:48
Speaker
Go, okay, okay, my bad. So I get there, I'm kind of waiting and praying that he tells me that he's here. So we go in, I see him, I'm like, hey. And I made like a cute little joke. I was like, I can't wait to see you in text. I was like, before it was time to like go, I was like, oh, can't wait to see you for Taco Tuesday. And I put a little asterisk and then I like entered down a little bit and I put like, well, asterisk Wednesday, because it was Wednesday and I was just, Taco Wednesday doesn't sound as cute. I thought it was cute.
00:17:16
Speaker
And so then I pull up there. I'm waiting. I'm listening to music in my car. He says it here. I get my car. I'm waiting at the front and I see him. I'm like, Hey, you ready to eat tacos? It's going to, we're going to have so much fun. I haven't seen you in a little bit. And then we get to the line he was looking through and I was like, well, this is what I usually get and blah, blah, blah. And this is what I, and then the lady behind the counter came.
00:17:37
Speaker
and helped us and was like well this is what people get and this is what I think is good and this is blah blah blah blah. We get up to the counter and I order first and tell me why this man he is like he's like six five he's like a big dude and it is 12 30 in the afternoon lunch time and he orders one taco
00:18:02
Speaker
Raven, don't make that face. What if he just wasn't hungry, he ate, or maybe he gets nervous. No, because... Who was paying? Well, I paid because I invited him. And I would have felt so bad if I got all that food and he got one taco. But also, one, it's prime lunchtime too. I've eaten with him before,
Wedding Planning and Fashion Choices
00:18:23
Speaker
and I've seen him eat an entire burger and a plate of fries. And you're telling me,
00:18:30
Speaker
So maybe he was just being considerate because you were paying. He didn't know I was paying. Because he pulled out his stuff to pay. I didn't tell him I was paying. I was just faster than him pulling out my card and everything. And it was a tap to pay. Um. Maybe he wasn't angry. I don't know. That's weird.
00:18:48
Speaker
which he does he doesn't want to be there and so then we're eating and we're yeah also that that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to be there why don't we know that taco is not normal tacos but why don't we just assume the worst already not like give him the benefit of the doubt maybe send him a text message you should just ask them that too oh y'all want me to just be like so are you like feeling anything or should i just like leave
00:19:19
Speaker
Okay, I did ask him but he was like, oh well, you know, I I I lost a bunch of weight and I um And I kind of just like don't I just like I don't want to eat a ton because like I can't eat a ton But you know, I gotta kind of watch it and well, I believe that It was lunchtime
00:19:41
Speaker
okay didn't he have plans later that day at like okay and then i was like well where are you going for dinner he's like well my friend his mom does like this thing and we got invited to this like fancy dinner he is but i don't really know what time it is so i kind of just blocked off my entire night from like five p.m because my friend never told me what time it was at so who he didn't even know what time he was gonna be eating dinner you tell me you commit to one taco at 12 30 in the afternoon not knowing when you're gonna be eating dinner later that day
00:20:12
Speaker
Is it a big dinner? He don't know, he could've been eating it at 9 p.m. He don't know what time he gonna be eating dinner. Okay, I'm running out of options. I can't continue the story.
00:20:39
Speaker
Y'all, y'all, y'all, I think my dad's having, let me close the door real quick. Did she mute herself again? I don't think so. Oh. Back to what I was saying. So he don't know what time he's going to eat dinner. So then we finished eating. He finished eating right before me. I still have one taco. I don't even finish my taco because I'm like, this is getting awkward.
00:21:09
Speaker
like i got two the normal amount of tacos a person gets at velvet taco if you're like hungry but not super hungry wait pause what taco did he get because then we can factor that in we can factor that in that's like a full meal no it's not
00:21:32
Speaker
I'm really trying And so then like it's awkward and we're sitting there, and I'm just like we're sitting there silent no conversation We're just sitting there, and I'm just like well I Gotta go do laundry, and he just goes okay, and just gets up and starts walking out Actually we clean up ourself first and then he gets up instead of walking out and
00:21:57
Speaker
Wait, but were y'all having a conversation before this and y'all hit a lull and then you were like, well, I have to go do laundry because you were really bad at segwaying out of conversations. Like we'll be on FaceTime and then you just decide, I don't want to do this anymore. I'm leaving.
00:22:13
Speaker
I don't know, I think it was a really big lull. And I don't know. How big is the lull? Because for you, it's like two seconds. For everybody else, it's like a solid two minutes. It was like, you know how if you're eating, if someone else is eating and you're not eating, how you'll tell a story to keep the conversation up and they can chime in during bites? He was not doing that. He was just sitting there silently every time I would take a bite of my taco, because I got two tacos. So of course, I'm still eating.
00:22:42
Speaker
Okay, so how long were y'all there? Like 45 minutes. And how long did y'all talk? Hmm? What does that mean? Did y'all talk for like 30 minutes and then it was like 15 minutes of awkwardness? No, it was probably like 40 and then five at the end. You're jumping to conclusions. But that five, that five was fiving. For you.
00:23:12
Speaker
fast forward to wear outside okay fast forward to wear outside we're outside i'm like he's like oh yeah you he goes oh like walk you to your car he goes oh wait you parked right there he doesn't even walk me to my car he just walks out the parking lot and he hits me and hits me with one of these while walking out the parking lot
00:23:31
Speaker
back back turned walking that way not even not even a full front vision way that's what he did to me y'all
00:23:45
Speaker
Is that the action of somebody that likes a girl? Am I just reading into it? Not even a high five, not even a fizzbop. He hit me with an across the parking lot, turned around, head turned, behind the shoulder wave. It's giving, I forgot you were there. Are y'all still talking? No. I haven't spoken to him since yesterday. Yesterday, yeah. I mean, it's only been a day.
00:24:14
Speaker
he does not like me uh now i just i guess he's gonna regroup in i just wait and see if he texts me thank you because because after the first date we went through this whole entire thing where he doesn't like me he ghosted me and after the first date he didn't text me i texted him maybe he's just not a good texter maybe he takes off to rape him you know who's not who you
Friendship and Social Dynamics
00:24:42
Speaker
You know who's not a good texter? Me. But I know how to text a body if I like him. I bet you're raving on me just a little Ethan's text to sit in her stuff because she likes him. He don't like me. You probably let it sit there for about a solid 10 minutes. Well, actually, no. That doesn't count for them because they communicate over Snapchat. If this is like a normal text message, I can read it. Look at it.
00:25:10
Speaker
okay okay look at it and then decide i don't feel like i'm gonna fly to that right now i can come back to it later no and now i have that little unread button no right when you first started talking to either ethan or jared did you just leave their text yes yes i'd like to play hard to get i will wait a solid 10 to 20 minutes in between text message and he can confirm this you know you don't want to make yourself too easy thank you thank you and at the beginning of us talking
00:25:39
Speaker
He was not putting any effort in. We were in the middle of COVID. Who's gonna date in COVID? Well, yeah, he don't like me. It's okay, I'll live. Is my ego a little hurt? Yes, but it's okay, I'll survive. Has he been in a relationship before? How old is he? 22. Oh. Do you know? No.
00:26:08
Speaker
Raven, I don't know him that well. Do y'all not like ask questions? Does he want a relationship or does he want to abandon? I don't really care. Well, if he if he wanted that, he would probably just ask for it. And then it would I would have just been like, ah, maybe I'm just kidding. My mom listens to this. Not maybe. No, if he wanted that, then he would have been more. Yeah, he would have been more like
00:26:38
Speaker
yeah maybe he's shy or awkward maybe he gets anxiety
00:26:49
Speaker
then take, I'm just kidding. I'm not going to text him. I'm telling y'all. Y'all can be like, oh, did he text you? And I'm gonna be like, no. And he's not going to. Look, if by the weekend he still hasn't texted you, I would just shoot him a nice little happy new year. Hope you find the right one. It's not me. Peace out. I am not a masochist. I don't need to be rejected directly in front of my face because no, thank you. In front of your face.
00:27:18
Speaker
Yeah, I don't, I don't need a permanent, no hyped out reminder when he says, you send it New Year's Eve, you block him and we go into the new year free. We don't know what he said. I mean, I can't do that. And then the next time we see you, you unblock him so we can read his reply.
00:27:43
Speaker
and we'll just, we'll hold that feeling for you. Yeah, no thanks. And Raven's really good at keeping secrets, so she'll hold it to the grave.
00:27:52
Speaker
that's not you. Raven will just tell me in like a year she'll be like oh my god he said he literally hates you and like i knew you couldn't handle that at the time but you seem to be in the spot where you could handle that because that's what Raven does with bad news she needs to tell me she waits for years and then goes i think you're in a good spot to hear this now
00:28:16
Speaker
Like about every bad hair decision I made right after my big chop. She just hit me with that information recently. She goes, I think your hair looks good enough now that I can tell you, oh my god, why are you wearing your hair like that? And I'm like, she goes, I knew you couldn't handle it at the time. But now I feel like you can. And that's how Raven tells me bad news. So I guess I'll know in a couple years how she feels about this situation right here.
00:28:46
Speaker
When you block somebody and they like text you back, does it save it until you unblock them? I don't know. I've never blocked anyone. I have, but I don't think I waited long enough to text them. Well,
Bachelorette Trip Planning
00:29:02
Speaker
if you live for drama, then you'll want to know this drama. Nope, I will. I know I live for I live for fun drama, not hurtful drama. Or you text him, we wait for his reply. I'll read it real quick. You delete it. No.
00:29:17
Speaker
because then what'll happen is I'll be on my laptop and I'll need to shoot off a text really fast and it'll still be on my laptop and then boom, my entire week is ruined. And your iPad? Yeah. Apple Watch. Too many devices. You know now that we're talking about him, watch him text you. He's not going to. Hit you with a sup and then you can reply to that and you know y'all just take it from there.
00:29:47
Speaker
y'all had like a long-standing conversation no just like let's hang out let's go here let's go to avatar no i can't basically oh y'all don't text throughout the day either alexis what about after our first date and after i
00:30:12
Speaker
I can show you. I can show you. You're not understanding. Even before the first date, were y'all having like a conversation every day or was it like a let's make plans? Not text you here. Text you the day up to make sure you're going to show up. OK, it was literally. No, it was literally like. Is he really? Never mind, I can't say that. That sounds bad. Um.
00:30:43
Speaker
He said gotta do it again sometime. Yeah, that was after the first one. And then I asked him to go if he wanted to go see Avatar with me at my work employee showing. And he didn't know. Well, what if he was like nervous to meet like your work friends? I don't have friends at that job. And then he doesn't know that.
00:31:05
Speaker
Oh, yeah, no, no, I asked him if he was like bad at texting because he never texted me back really after that first day. And he was like, Yeah, kinda. But then he never sent me a text. And so then I asked him if he wanted to go and he said, No, you see how most of this is me? What is this? What is this deep blue paragraph? Not paragraph like this one line a lot of spaces. That was my joke about the talk about the taco. Oh,
00:31:33
Speaker
But yeah, so obviously he doesn't like me. It's okay guys, I'll just rally. Well, yeah guys, so that's what I've been up to just getting rejected in the most saddening of ways. And y'all don't know how bad I wanted to tweet yesterday, something sad, but I got called out on it. So I said, let me keep that to myself.
00:32:02
Speaker
Let me get that in the journal. What were you going to tweet? Because apparently my Twitter is not my safest place anymore. What were you going to tweet? I don't remember. It was going to be something dumb. Was it going to be about your day? It was probably going to be, yeah. And then after that date, I went to Insomnia. I bought some cookies. I took a little walk in downtown Fort Worth.
00:32:32
Speaker
And then I went home because I had work. I guess that's a good meeting spot. I'm just going to say you made him drive all the way from Keller. I don't know what's in Keller. Everything in Fort Worth. Well, no, South Lake's pretty far for you.
00:32:58
Speaker
Southlake would've been fun. Y'all could've got Dr. Pepper ice cream. I'm not driving a Southlake. You could've gone to Trader Joe's. I ordered an Apple Watch band, and it doesn't fit my wrist, and I'm very sad about it. That's what I was doing. I was supposed to be doing the return. And I used a gift card, so now I'm kinda like, eh. Do I really return it?
00:33:30
Speaker
Speaking of returns, you know what's worse than doing a normal return that you have to go to the store for? It's doing a return for she in. You have to print out the label, send it back. Okay, well this one specific thing I spent more than 20 bucks on, so I wanted my money back. It was 40, so therefore I was going for it. $40? I know, I know.
00:34:00
Speaker
What did you buy? A dress. Okay, so I bought an outfit for my bridal shower. It's a sweater dress, but I feel like it's too short. And I don't want anyone to think I'm a floozy, so I then decided to buy a new one. That one didn't work out. But I ordered another one, and it should be here in about two weeks. Speaking of your bridal shower, we don't have the dress like tea party. You don't have to wear a hat, but it is a tea party, so dress accordingly.
00:34:32
Speaker
You're gonna see what I have in my closet? I will, I guess we'll try to find a floral dress. I haven't been in your closet frequently recently, but I do know you own things, so. Like what? Um, I'm pretty sure you own a dress. Put one on. You got a church? Key party dress? Literally? I don't think you can keep your church. That is true. Um, pastel. I don't have any pastel dresses. I feel like you're lying to me.
00:35:05
Speaker
Just don't wear black. Or, you know if you really want to, look at Express. Express is expensive. Not when you have a discount. I'm about to buy this blazer dress on the website. It's sky blue. If it's not in stock tomorrow, then I guess I'm gonna have to order it for myself, but I want my 60% off. Do you work at Express? Tomorrow, yes I do.
00:35:35
Speaker
They sent a text out about, we're cutting those hours. Check your schedule. I still have to work Friday and Saturday, so obviously you're not cutting anything. That's how I fed up my job. They were like, yeah, everyone, we're cutting hours. And I was not getting off until five. I was like, what happened to cutting hours? Why is everyone else getting off at three o'clock? And I'm not getting off until five.
00:36:03
Speaker
My hours are definitely not going to be cut. Someone just quit. Oh. Right before busy season. Raven, I feel like your busy season is all year around. Well, I've been pretty chill lately. I had that one crazy week. Yeah, like probably. Did they have some white?
00:36:38
Speaker
I don't like that. Were you shopping? Yeah, I typed in tea party outfits, but then I saw a dress that I liked. For something else, so then. Yeah, the one I ordered. Is like lace kind of. And then I need to find.
00:37:06
Speaker
A second dress option. But I don't want to spend more than $100 on everyone that I look at. That's what I want. The wedding and everyone that I guess. Yeah, because the actual one is pretty heavy and I didn't pay to get a bustle added because I felt like it was unnecessary and I don't like how they look. Once you like pin them up,
00:37:35
Speaker
But I already wanted to change anyway to a shorter option, because if I bought these boots, I want them to be the star of the show. And they're coming out after we finish taking pictures. So everyone that I look at is over the price range of $200. And I just feel like that's a little too much for me to be wearing it for three hours, maybe. Maybe two, because I don't know how long it takes for you to cut a cake, do a dance, eat.
00:38:05
Speaker
and do a garter toss. Are you tossing your bouquet? Yeah, but I can take the dress off for that. The garter toss I can't, because if I have a short dress, then you can see it. And he's got this whole thing that he's playing out, so. I don't want to look at this. Stop every time I see this.
00:38:35
Speaker
i i be so like i forget that
Bridal Shower and Fashion Logistics
00:38:42
Speaker
was not a coherent sentence but yeah are we done i feel like we've hit a lull we didn't even talk about what we came on here to talk about see exactly exactly the lull was probably 2.5 seconds and you decided oh i'm done i'm gonna go home and do lunch right
00:39:02
Speaker
You want to know what's crazy? I didn't even do laundry when I got home. And I desperately need to do laundry. So do I. I didn't do mine over Christmas. The fact that Christmas was on a Sunday really just threw everything off for me. And the fact that. You don't wear gloves? No. What? No. What? She asked, are we going to or do we have to wear gloves? No.
00:39:31
Speaker
I'm not planning anything, so I don't know what it is. I just know it's a tea party, because I picked it. I know I showed up at 11. I should probably, I'm doing my makeup trial the same day, so I guess I should probably figure out what time I actually need to be there for that. That sounds like a heart attack. Where is it from? Someone made it.
00:40:01
Speaker
I'm gonna try to be festive. I need to buy a lot of clothes over the next month Just put on a dress that is pastel or has florals Basically just don't wear black My only dress that has florals on it is black
00:40:24
Speaker
Or do like a nice pant blazer because it's cold. I do have a pink blazer. Yes you do. Don't you have matching pants to it? Put it on. I'll wear that. Put it on. They're tight. Did you say no? They're tight. Well put on some Spanx. I'll be good for a few weeks. So I will be going to Target.
00:40:53
Speaker
Where are you going to Target? To buy clothes. For the bachelorette trip? Both. I favorited some really cute pink things on Target's website. I just gotta buy them.
00:41:07
Speaker
And I, you know, okay. So Raven Casey asked me to help her with outfit options because, you know, great style over here. Um, no, let me finish it. Let me finish it. She didn't even give any of them an option, like a chance. And I thought they were great. They were very Casey, nothing that I would wear. Let me see if I can find them because I thought that they were amazing. Very proud of my work.
00:41:37
Speaker
Oh, I need to figure out when y'all are free because we have 32 t-shirts to make and nine. Also, that's not true. I like this one. This is I liked this one. Hold on. I got a t-shirt. There's a lot of t-shirts. What is that for? The wedding merch. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it wasn't applying yet. I just need you to heat press the stuff on there for me. So you're going to have it all printed out and stuff.
00:42:07
Speaker
Well, I mean, if you want to bring yours to make the time go by clicker, I like this one. I like this one because I saw a girl for her birthday. She wore something like that and she felt like a black belt around it. And I thought that was really cute. Oh, wow. But she told me you hated all of them. OK, so I gave her this option for the all black. You know, nice. Something cute. Maybe the sleeves were a little eccentric. Not very Casey, but it was tight. You know, Casey likes everything tight.
00:42:33
Speaker
Then, for the pink night, I gave her a nice two pinks. That is so ugly. This is so ugly. That is so ugly. Raven, you're supposed to be my friend. And right now you're not being one. I thought it was adorable. And I don't know. Wait, this is just go cowgirl pink. Yes! Yes! She basically needed to just look like pink threw up on her and a lot of, you know, like tassels. It was giving. That's not giving.
00:43:00
Speaker
it was not right glad i didn't buy that for myself and i refuse to be bullied about it especially because i'm sure a pink outfit yeah and anything on sunday
00:43:12
Speaker
Yeah, because, oh, I almost, okay, so David's Bridal is having like 75% off accessories thing right now. And one of the things on sale was a sweatshirt that said brides babes on it and it was six bucks. I almost bought Casey one because she said very vividly that she didn't want to wear a shirt that said like, you know, something cliche on it. But if I got you all matching ones, you should be forced to wear one. Are we saying no?
00:43:43
Speaker
I want to get a cowboy hat so bad. I bought one. Well, I mean, it's not like a nice one. It's a ten dollar one. OK, then I found this dress. It's lace on the sleeves. It's giving Casey. It's literally not. It's giving Casey doesn't know me. That's more me, but also not really.
00:44:06
Speaker
And no, I wouldn't have picked that for you. Then I found a nice pink jumpsuit with feathers at the top. Now granted, that's a little bit more me than Casey, but I just wanted somebody to wear it. And the matching pink set, so you. You just didn't appreciate it. I still gotta buy boob tape for mine.
00:44:34
Speaker
I bought white flare pants. They're very flare. Did you just roll your eyes in me? Yeah. Oh, I bought a very, oh, like it's a, what is it called? A one shoulder jumpsuit that has like a side panel. That's rhinestone.
00:45:07
Speaker
And nobody else is giving the energy that I required. I was going to, you know, the week before order everything off of Amazon. Big mood, big mood. And just hope it gets here because it's prime and hope that it works. Yep. I got my schoolgirl skirt, so that's good. I got to try and find my junior high cheer uniform.
00:45:37
Speaker
Do you own all of the board games that we use, or is that Lauren? Me? Yeah. Are they at your house, or are they with Lauren? With Lauren. OK. Lauren. I'm going to have to tell her. Tell her to bring it back to me. Oh, they're all yours? One of them is mine. Oh. What is it, for the girls? Which one did I buy? I was with one of y'all. I think it's for the girls.
00:46:04
Speaker
That was what she said. I don't know. We played one of them. We did that. Not your thing at your house. And then we did for the girls, but I didn't know if I bought that. No. And then there was one that we bought that was that that we had at the cabin. The mystery thing. No, it was we bought two. Yeah. It was like a card game. I kind of like it for the girls card game.
00:46:36
Speaker
Do we have pictures? Oh, here's the cabin. I don't have a picture of the files. And that's it. Are you sure we just didn't play like Uno? I think we played something else, but I don't remember. I don't have a picture of it.
00:47:02
Speaker
I still want to bring on her games. She also needs to send me her flight information if she wants to get picked up. If not, she can Uber. I want a tracksuit. Right? Like velvet? Oh my god. The one I got, it pills so much. You have a tracksuit? I think I just need to like wash it once. Yeah.
00:47:28
Speaker
You remember how every Christmas we used to go with Raven to buy her mom the exact same tracksuit from New York and company every year for like four years? And it was always black. Or the cream color. Memories. Was that on the mall trip or did we just go to the mall? I think we just go to the mall. Yeah, we were just at the mall every Saturday. It was the one that she asked for every single year. It was a new one.
00:47:57
Speaker
And you can't go to that mall now. At least not more than like 45 minutes. Just get in and get out, get your stuff. Cause that's the only mall that has an area close by. I don't think that Northeast has one and I know the parks don't have one. Northeast does have one. Oh, well they're a little sketchy now too.
00:48:23
Speaker
Okay, so I think I have a black dress I can wear. Hopefully it still fits. But it's gonna be cold. Yeah, and well, I mean, okay, so when you're wearing the black dress, you're basically only gonna be wearing it for however long the selfie museum tour is. So, yeah, so like an hour. Soapopoeia.
00:48:49
Speaker
So all I really need to buy, because I have rounds that I can do to arrive in style. So I just need a pink outfit. Because your outfit for brunch will be given to you. It's a nice white sweatshirt. I'm wearing pink. I tried to buy vinyl glitter.
00:49:16
Speaker
it was very expensive so i did not buy it i bought normal i bought four rolls so i'm gonna assume that that's gonna be enough glitter vinyl it was more expensive than what i anticipated the one you have on here yes i bought wings yeah i bought that exact thing on etsy and then just copied it into the little cricket thing
00:49:42
Speaker
Oh, it depends on how big you make it for. Four could be enough for 10 people. How many people? Nine. Could be eight, could be nine. Not sure yet. It depends on how wide you make it. I love the glitter vinyl. I'm in level fit. Yeah,
Podcast Updates and Future Plans
00:50:07
Speaker
we used gold glitter vinyl on our on our shirt. I feel like I don't know.
00:50:12
Speaker
I think it's cute, but I feel like it doesn't like, I don't know, it doesn't like work as well. Did you use Cricut brand? Yeah. You? So some of y'all's robes are Cricut, some of them are not Cricut, so. Or you couldn't tell a difference. Like the non-Cricut, but the Cricut Walmart brand.
00:50:42
Speaker
I got it from Walmart. It was just gold. It wasn't the cricket, cricket brand, but. Oh, so you made those. My mom was asking me and I was like, I don't know. Yeah. So I was like, you can't return them because, you know, I don't know things on it. And I was like, I hope Casey's fits. And it's not too big because I was going to have you search Lauren because I think Lauren's might be too small, but then they have different things on it.
00:51:13
Speaker
Okay, I'm gonna end this, because then I have a follow-up question, but I have to say that off. So, you know, this is great, this is fun. We'll probably be back more frequently. Season two.
00:51:25
Speaker
Happy New Year, guys. Happy New Year. 2023 is going to be a great year. We can't wait. Be on the lookout for our new cover art. It should be coming soon, along with our season two. Bye. Bye. Bye.
