Not charity work. Oh my gosh. Well, she did not like that. I obviously did not like that. I said that she was begging to come back, but she did put herself on her schedule and I'm so happy that she did because we had so much fun the first time. But I'm so excited about what you chose to be drinking. listen So last time I think we had like the Welch's sparkling. This time is a a little bit more exciting, I would say.

Aubrey's Life Updates and Challenges
00:02:12
Speaker
We're drinking a Diet Coke float. So Diet Coke and vanilla ice cream. Which I've never heard i've never had. i've i don't i was just telling them before we started recording is I've never even had a root beer. Well, root beer is disgusting. If you drink it.
00:02:26
Speaker
Why? um So I'm very excited at the fact that you made it a Diet Coke float because I'll drink that all day. Sign me up. I actually don't know if I've ever had a Diet Coke float.
00:02:38
Speaker
I've had like grape soda, root beer floats all day. are we ready to give it a try? know Aubrey's dying. Aubrey's like, let's freaking drink it, Aubrey. You ready? I'm i'm ready. Cheers.
00:02:49
Speaker
Not me with my massive and you guys Mine is all – my ice cream is all melted now. So I – yeah.
00:02:59
Speaker
Oh, am I not so supposed to drink out of a straw? Am I already doing the straw? oh you can't. You can't. We did not grab straws because we thought it would be like ice creamy enough, but it's melted. So now we're like, we should probably have straws. Well, this was like a milkshake vibe. so So it's pretty decent. It's pretty good.
00:03:15
Speaker
It's a nice little sweet treat. I'm not going lie. very good. Personally, I like the root beer float better, but I know you're a Diet Coke girl through and through. I was in a dirty soda, but then I was like, that's like, to make it more fun.
00:03:27
Speaker
Yeah, you would have been denied access. We've already done Dirty Soda this season. You would have had to wait like two seasons to come back. so Which reminds me, i think last time we had you on was it season one or two?
00:03:41
Speaker
it's It's been a while. one Oh my gosh, it's been a long time. We've got a lot of catches new. There's a lot of growing that has happened between season one and season six. So yes what's the hot goss? What's the 411? Yeah.
00:03:57
Speaker
Um, just give us a quick little overview of life lately, and then we'll get into some of the the hard hitters. I was going to ask her, what's the thing we used to do on AOL? um and ASL?
00:04:10
Speaker
ah ASL. ASL, please. Do you even know what ASL stands for? American Sign Language. I mean, you're not wrong. You're honestly not wrong, but no. um This was a fun little iceberg.
00:04:25
Speaker
Is it an icebreaker, Annie? I don't even know what to describe it. I don't know. It creepy. You'd go on these little internet chat rooms to play Yahoo pool and people would be like ASL. ASL, which basically means age, sex, location.
00:04:39
Speaker
sex, location. How old were you, male or female? And like where did you live? Where? Like what zone? like you know yeah Anyways, no need to do that. I was just going to, know. give you a little icebreaker yourself asl vibes oh yeah um just like what's happening recently in my life yeah sure well i just got back from a flag football game tournament in gainesville um and then i have a lot of school work to do it's basically just like school and like football and yeah sports the other weekend yes okay that's new you have a job
00:05:15
Speaker
would you I mean, obviously don't tell people where you work, but what is your job? um I'm a hostess. But as of recent, i I haven't been really working that much. I've been working like once a week.
00:05:27
Speaker
So – Who's funding your life? She is. And i've i we fund some. But, yes, she she went from working like three to four days a week to now down to one. So now she's having two. Like one or two. Yeah.
00:05:42
Speaker
Yeah.
College Aspirations and Decisions
00:05:43
Speaker
Well, to be fair, when you're in sports, it's very hard to um balance like sports schedule, school, yeah and having a yob, you know?
00:05:53
Speaker
Yeah. very As long as I can get my nails done though, I'm financially fine. Noted. and d Now, d do you pay for your nails or does your mom pay for your nails?
00:06:04
Speaker
unfortunate Unfortunately. Now, for something like homecoming or she has obviously – she's junior year. She has prom this year. Like that's something, of course, I pay for.
00:06:15
Speaker
But as like guess as a want, not a – just to have it – Maintenance. Sure. That is on her to have, which is which is fine. Okay. But we're talking about – we're talking about school. I know it's been a lot on you. How has junior year been so far? Tell us.
00:06:33
Speaker
It's been terrible. so i hate we're going straight there. my gosh. It's so bad. Are you serious? Junior year is probably one of my favorite years of high school. Okay. Well, I think junior is like impossible.
00:06:46
Speaker
why do Why is it so terrible? Please do – like you don't have to be specific in detail. like telling you my classes and that will kind of give you like – Oh, okay. So I'm taking standard level math, which is just like pre-calculus and trig and like whatever. um I'm taking Spanish for – Proud of you.
00:07:07
Speaker
not my choice. Even though I do have some concerns for that class. i've heard I've heard some clips. it so It's bad. um I'm taking high-level econ.
00:07:18
Speaker
High level history is like APUSH. I'm taking high level English. Can can I ask when you – APUSH is AP, U.S. history, everyone. Oh. Okay. No. I was going to ask. When you say high level, does that mean like college credit level or what does high level mean? Like is that like our version, Annie, of – Yeah.
00:07:38
Speaker
Like honors. honors so like all of my classes are like like i get more points for because it's ib but hl and sl are just like it's high level versus like standard level and i happen to take a certain amount of high level classes that are just like worth more and gotcha so does it does it go towards a college credit like being in an ib program and doing such high level classes yeah it does yeah like i could technically like i only need like two more english credits to graduate basically
00:08:09
Speaker
Oh, wow. So I could i graduate this year, but I'm not going to Right. Got to keep it going. Got to keep it going. though you're literally saying it's the worst year of your life is what you're making it out too It's really bad.
00:08:21
Speaker
um And then I'm taking biology, which is – like I thought biology is all like animals and stuff. Like it's actually like cells and like things and I'm really struggling. struggling With atoms?
00:08:36
Speaker
Yeah. But I'm also in your book. No, that's fun. That's always a fun that's a fun class to be in.
Safety and Independence
00:08:42
Speaker
Yeah, but yearbook takes away half my study hall. so I see.
00:08:48
Speaker
Well, that sounds horrible. I'm not going to lie. i'm Literally horrible. But are are you doing well in your classes?
00:08:58
Speaker
Yeah, I'm doing the average. Drink twice if you need help because know is tearing you down right don't doing pretty much everybody else right now. yeah Report cards come out very soon.
00:09:10
Speaker
ah beautiful. Let's make sure to post that. right No, let's make sure not to post that. Those are pretty soon. Yeah. Yeah. we're trying. Junior year is very hard because it goes – the jump from sophomore to junior year specifically in IB is a very rigorous jump. This is also the year where like all of like the college thinking starts. You're doing your SATs. Like it's a very – where are you – Am I yelling in your ear? Why are you leaning away from me? No, I was just like swallowing. Oh. I was like, am I yelling in your ear? Because I do tend to talk loud. You do. But yeah, the change from freshman and sophomore year to junior year is quite large. And it's something that like Greg and I are starting to understand a little bit more. Like at the beginning of the year, we were like, oh, just another school year. Oh, Aubrey's got some more schoolwork. So it's been like hard for us to understand like how much more work she has.
00:09:59
Speaker
So for you, Obbs, how have you been able to balance like work, social life, school, well, school, work, social life, and sports.
Sibling Dynamics and Personal Interests
00:10:09
Speaker
You've got like all four. Yeah.
00:10:11
Speaker
Yeah, I kind of like divided pretty good as of like recent. But I will say like last year I'd go to bed at like 10 o'clock every single night. Now I'm up until like midnight or like 1230 pushing one.
00:10:25
Speaker
Like doing homework, especially when it's like a flag football day. It's just like a lot because I have like three classes a day. And know it doesn't sound like a lot, but the homework for each class is like an hour at home And so just like, it's a lot.
00:10:40
Speaker
And then of course things like Spanish where you have to like look at it every single day for it to click is like an addition to just it being really hard. But I kind of have it to where it's on Wednesdays and Sundays, like half a day Sunday i work and then after school Wednesday I work.
00:10:59
Speaker
And then Tuesdays and Thursdays and Saturdays, Saturday morning. I do flag football. And then, of course, Monday through Friday is school. And then I try not to do any homework on Friday or Saturday. Yeah.
00:11:12
Speaker
Just so I have like Friday night as like I can hang out with my friends. And same with like Saturday like itself, I can do things. Well, it sounds like you have like a pretty good like routine of like pretty set.
00:11:26
Speaker
um So I guess this question will be for your mom and not for you. How accurate is this this statement she's putting out right now? Do you feel like it's pretty accurate or she's sugarcoating a little bit?
00:11:39
Speaker
No, I would say it's pretty – I'd say it's pretty accurate. In the beginning, it was kind of honestly all over the place and I was like wow kind of worried. I'm like I don't know like – I feel like there's a lot of work coming.
00:11:51
Speaker
We've got like like school work coming. She also was working this. She was still working like three to four times a week. She had flag football. I was like, I don't understand how you're going to do all of this with like, I knew that um just going into the Ivy program, remember freshman year, all the kids talking about how hard. junior and senior year were, specifically junior year.
00:12:11
Speaker
So I was like, I don't know what to expect because this is both Greg and I's first time. Like we, neither of us did the IB program. Like we and didn't know what to expect. So we were standard smart people. Yes.
00:12:23
Speaker
Yes. We were just the right. you we weren' like Not advanced. No. Yeah. No. i I will say like not putting any shade to like regular like traditional classes but I have like friends in traditional and the comparison of workloads are vastly different.
00:12:40
Speaker
Like their to-do list on Canvas will have like three things and mine will have like 15. Like it's insane. Like it's very different. Why do you – okay. Why do you think that is though? Like I would be like, listen, I'm already in this program. Clearly I'm smart. Like I don't need more work to prove that I'm smart. Like.
00:12:57
Speaker
Yeah, I don't really know exactly why, but all I know is like the one thing like it's talked about like every single day is like your IB exams, like the end of your senior year.
00:13:09
Speaker
like They're a ginormous deal. you're a senior, you get out of school a month earlier than than everybody else in that whole month. You're supposed to be like at home practicing, like studying that whole month on like four-year exams.
00:13:26
Speaker
Like it's not like summer or vacation started. It's like you're studying for your exams. Are these on like SAT level exams type vibes? Is that what like they are? Well, not really. Each one of your subjects have an exam. so And like if you don't pass every single one, you don't get your IB diploma.
00:13:47
Speaker
oh You still get your high school diploma. You just don't get your IB diploma. How many chances do you get? One. You can argue. You can. I did hear last year. Once? One girl argued like her way through – she was a couple of points off of passing and she argued – that like she should have passed for some reason and like didn't.
00:14:07
Speaker
But also like with your exam, you have to do an oral and um it's called like an EE. I don't really like know exactly what that is but it's just like, yeah. Again, ah normal, smart person.
00:14:22
Speaker
Yeah, it's like getting it's like um and like experiment, I think. I think it's called EE. But like, yeah. I remember last year I was like in physics and this kid, his EE was due ah in a week.
00:14:34
Speaker
I think it's called EE. hope I'm calling it the right thing. I don't know. Like his like big project was due in a week and he did Like it was like a long like experiment and he, the week before I found out like,
00:14:47
Speaker
It didn't work. So and he had like no time to do it. But he's doing fine. He's in – No. But anyways, he's doing great. He's at Warren. Yeah, he's at Warren. He's like valedictorian. He's fine.
00:15:00
Speaker
He's thriving. He's thriving. Okay. Well, okay. So I can kind of understand why you're saying junior year kind of sucks. I get that from like an academic perspective, um which kind of makes me sad for you because, again, that's like literally my favorite year of high school was junior year. It was the best.
00:15:14
Speaker
Um, so so don't have further advice on that. yeah for Besides the fact that kids that are busy don't get in trouble. So proud of you for that.
00:15:27
Speaker
I say the same thing. I'm like, keep her busy because then I know where she is and what she is doing. So, but she did just take her first SAT. You don't need to tell the score. You don't need to. oh do we have the score?
00:15:40
Speaker
We do have the score. I'll tell you the score, but we can just bleep it out or something. we I mean, ah are we that advanced? Do we know how not that advanced. I do not know how to put a bleep sound over it.
00:15:52
Speaker
So. She's in Spanish. and We don't have that. She doesn't know how to tell you in Spanish. So. I can show you with my hands. showed at level four. I can show you with my hands. Yes, I know how to. I can show you with my hands. Oh, true. You could show me like secretly with your hands and I'll just make sure. Well, i actually did better on my PSAT than my actual SAT.
00:16:10
Speaker
SATs. Sorry. I feel like SATs are like so redundant. Like I get why we have to do it, but like. It's so hard. It's so hard. So um did you actually did you study at all for this first SAT t that you did? Tell the truth.
00:16:23
Speaker
um For the first one, I did not study just so it was like a benchmark of like how much I need. What? What's that face for? So I didn't study at all. No, you didn't.
00:16:35
Speaker
Do you feel then your score is justified since you feel like you didn't study at all? Yes. Your mom has an opinion. want to know your opinion. No, think – Before I get justified.
00:16:46
Speaker
I think it is justified just because I wanted to know like how much work I needed to do just from like what I know. Baseline. And yeah. And also I will say the math section was so hard that on like the module two of the math section, I was getting asked like addition and subtraction questions.
00:17:07
Speaker
Because it like it autocorrects how good you're doing. Oh, three plus three. I didn't know that. It was like if Sally has 32 marbles, 10 of them are blue, five of them yellow. How many are red? Okay. It was that kind of question. It was bad.
00:17:24
Speaker
ah hate those questions. It's like we have a 23 centimeter home and Sally wants to add 18 inches. How big is it? And it's like, have you ever seen those videos? It's like, Sally's home after I measure it and it's literally like an uncanny number. Like, not necessary. Like, this is not... um Okay, here's my tip, like, with SATs and these types of tests is...
00:17:45
Speaker
show me things that I'm actually going to apply every day in life. Like I have never used a T9 calculator since I left college. So like give me something that I'm going to apply in life because guess what?
00:17:56
Speaker
I'm not counting how many centimeters Sally's house is every day. Okay. That's not my job. That's not my realm. I'm going to hire someone to do that. So I just, you know, I, SATs, Mess-ATs, Tamina, Tamayo. They need to replace it with like a section on taxes.
00:18:11
Speaker
Teach people how to their taxes and not be terrified that the IRS is going to come after them if they don't claim like one, like, this I don't know, goodwill donation or something. I know that works in your favor, but you know what i mean? Like if you don't claim one thing, it's like, oh my God, they are coming for me at my door.
00:18:26
Speaker
So yeah. I will say our math teacher gave us an assignment to do the other day. And it's ask, make a list of like people. So like start with one person, ask who knows the quadratic formula still.
00:18:42
Speaker
And like you can stop when you find someone who knows it, like outside of high school and you're not gonna know it. you know it? No. No. No. no No one has an X in it and then the divot, the little thing like that.
00:18:56
Speaker
ah Yeah, yeah. The square root? 3.14 and that's why. No, I think it's like plus or minus. No, no, don't give it away. Don't give it away.
00:19:07
Speaker
i want We're going to click this. know what you're talking about. I want someone in the comments to sound off. you know Tell us. Do you know the quadratic formula? Yes. I want to know how many people. you know what We're going to do your social experiment for you because I can promise you.
00:19:23
Speaker
no you imagine this bringing this to your teacher i'm not gonna say his name but ginormous list of yeah yeah like if everybody could please comment below just yes or no don't google it don't chat gbt it just comment yes or no do you know it if you know it you have to dm us and if it's correct if aubrey approves it and says it's correct she'll go get your nails done with her or something i don't know I don't even know it myself.
00:19:47
Speaker
I'm just kidding. I do. We just learned it.
00:19:51
Speaker
I learned in freshman year. I relearn it this year. So I'm dead. Well, yeah. Now, again, I mean, if you feel like your scores are justified and you just wanted a baseline, i guess it's a good it's a good starting point. Right. I mean, you still didn't text me what your score was. I'm still nosy. And honestly, I don't remember what my score was. Can you look that up?
00:20:10
Speaker
I don't remember and I don't care to remember because I'm like, you know what? i've I've gone on in my life. I took the SAT once. I took the ACT once because I had to and I was like, I don't care. Bye. um But I care what Aubrey gets because she is in it very – She's in She's very – I was motivated, but she is extremely motivated and very smart and I know that she applies herself that she can do it. Do you feel she just texted you? Do you feel that you have more pressure around like college and stuff than we did? you think there's more pressure around it?
00:20:44
Speaker
Yeah, I think it's a lot more competitive now. Like a lot more competitive. So competitive. Really? Like just in general? Or like – Yeah, like being smart and having like a good GPA and lot of classes like just doesn't do it anymore. It's like you need to be funding a nonprofit – And finding like having like an absurd amount of community service hours. Like not that it's not great to help your community, but I have to have like 100 community service hours like for IB. But like with that, I have to do like – It's called a cast project where I basically have to like – Creative, active service. Active service.
00:21:24
Speaker
Yeah. Like people like went to Spain last year for like three weeks to do like their cast project. Or you can just like make your own. so when are we going to Spain? If you do on your own. I'm down for Spain. where When are where are you going?
00:21:39
Speaker
I think it's like Thailand or Mykonos this year. Even better. What time frame are we looking at? Yeah, or it's Thailand or Greece this year. So I was like, okay. But yeah, if you go, you basically, the project is completed in that timeframe. Whereas if you don't go, you still have to do the project, but it takes ah a long time. It takes a long time, like months and months to do it.
00:22:02
Speaker
So yeah. Is requirement? Yeah, you have to do to pass IB. And then, like, along with that, just, like, getting into college, it's just, like, so many – like, I have kids in my grade. There's this kid in my grade over summer. He interned at a hospital and, like, watching open-heart surgeries and, like, be, like, in the – like, just insane stuff that I, like, not – I could not even comprehend that. Like, how are you doing that?
00:22:28
Speaker
Yeah. yeah I mean, honestly, though, like, good for your generation. This is great. Yeah. You guys aren't in the middle of the woods doing keg stands. And for that, I applaud. You know, you're over here worrying about your SATs and college and whatever cast is. already forgot, you know. Yeah. You're a cast member at Disney is what that sounds to me, you know. yeah.
00:22:50
Speaker
im I see your your view. and That makes it ah a little better to understand why you say it's more competitive versus like our era, dare I say? Yeah. This kid, and my he's like valedictorian, like super smart.
00:23:05
Speaker
He got, I think, the PSAT is at a 1520, I'm pretty sure. He got a 1500 flat um and he was like sobbing that he got like two questions wrong and didn't get a perfect PSAT score.
00:23:20
Speaker
Okay. Do we think, okay, I'm going to Google. I saw your score. I don't, I have no idea what that means. I'm going to have to Google what's normal, what's not normal and all that fun stuff. But like, it's, it has never changed. Right. Like the standard has never changed for like, what's a good score. What's a bad score. Right. It's, it's um like i will say college requirements have gone up.
00:23:39
Speaker
i will I was, I was going to say the scoring rubric hasn't changed. I think the most on an SAT t is 1600. Is that correct? Now colleges, what Aubrey, you said that colleges have changed their level on kind of like where their level is of like what they accept and up.
00:23:55
Speaker
So it's always been like 1600 is the number, like the best score you can get. But colleges have now changed their standard. And there's some colleges who they don't even look at test scores because um i think a lot of it is like,
00:24:10
Speaker
out getting applicants in like ones who are kind of like in the middle of nowhere. Right. Am I saying that right? i would say like Vanderbilt is one where you don't have to submit your, it's test optional, but that means they look at like all your extracurriculars. That means do you have to have like a giant list stacked.
00:24:31
Speaker
I know like, I know like some of the requirements the top of my head of like, I know FSU has gotten pretty high. FSU is like 12 something, I think.
00:24:42
Speaker
Okay. when we when i so When she said Vanderbilt, Vanderbilt is a private university. I was talking more about like Ole Miss and Alabama. There's nothing bad with – those are fantastic schools.
00:24:53
Speaker
No, didn't say anything. But those are like – I think because they are, i don't know, like not in like populous states, it's harder to get students like drawn to these little small towns in these – They're not like college-y vibes type. Right. Is that what you mean?
00:25:09
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. Well, honestly, I would like Alabama is pretty popular just because like social media and like pop culture. But like I know Ole Miss, I was talking to the guy and it's like you have to have like a 990 SAT requirement or something, which is like if it's at a 1600, you can assume that's pretty like low. Right. It's like a – I haven't met anyone who's gotten lower than – That's decent.
00:25:31
Speaker
Yeah, no. I haven't met anyone who's gotten lower than like a 900. Okay, well, I will Google mine and then I'll make you feel real smart. I'm pretty sure. That's what I'm asking because like i don't – I'm going to be depressed when I like figure out like what mine was. I have no idea how you can figure that out. I literally have no clue.
00:25:49
Speaker
um But I'm sure like someone in the – someone has a record at some point. umm And then I'm going to text you you and you're to feel real smart. So you're welcome. Mine is probably like $7.85. seven eighty five
00:26:01
Speaker
I just want to remind everybody English is not my first language so that's probably why my scores are a little lower.
00:26:09
Speaker
I like that. Disclamer. But like speaking of like you know all these different colleges and stuff like how how is that? I mean junior year you kind of start the conversation right? Because it's like leading to senior year where it's like okay i have to make decisions so do you have like college tours plans like do you and your friends talk about colleges and what's the vibe what's the talks i know we have two college tours in the next month um fsu and then university genesee knoxville oh fun yeah that'll be fun what made you choose like choose those
00:26:46
Speaker
Well, FSU is like I kind of think it's obvious. Just like ah whole family like went to yeah FSU. So it's kind of like a given. And honestly, like I really like Tallahassee anyway. So I think i could like I'd be fine. Like i I want to go there.
00:27:05
Speaker
And then University Tennessee, i just like don't know. I've like I've started like I started seeing things about it and i was just like, really like drawn to it Yeah. This like girl, when I was a freshman, this i senior, like the only person I know from our school that's gone there, i like follow her on Instagram and like everything is just so like, like social and fun and like the atmosphere there. and like, I want to stay in the South. Like I wouldn't go anywhere up North.
00:27:33
Speaker
I used to want to Penn State, but like. So here's, here's my next question to you because you are very smart and I'm not knocking on FSU. You know, I'm also a knoll. Would you consider UF? UF is a very like smart, like like very smart people go there.
00:27:50
Speaker
um Would you consider that in your templates or are you just because you grew up a Knoll, is it out of the question? I'm applying there just because it's a Florida school. And if I didn't get anything else and I only got UF, I would probably go there just because like it is obviously a good school.
00:28:07
Speaker
But if I got Auburn and then UF, I'd pick Auburn. Obviously, Florida State's my top choice. But if I got the option between anything, i UF is like the bottom of the – Yeah.
00:28:19
Speaker
that's how I'm going. And that is nothing with me or Greg's influence and neither was FSU. Like she, you know, she's grown up. I mean she's born in Tallahassee. She's grown up going there. we've We yeah go there all the time. and um The fact that um I went there and my brother and sister went there family went there, like friends went there. Like it is a – community thing it makes it really special for me that she wants to go she did a volleyball camp I think two summers ago and actually got to spend like good like quality time on the campus like kind of like ingrained and like she got to yeah play with like the volleyball players the FSU volleyball players and things like that so just got to kind of see like the community there and that helped like solidify the
00:29:07
Speaker
want to go there. So I'm so excited to do the tour with her because I didn't do the tour because it was like, that's where I was going, right? Like we were right, we lived in Tallahassee, like you went to FSU.
00:29:19
Speaker
So I never did the tour. So I'm so excited that Greg and I go get to go and do that with her. And then the university of Tennessee one, we're really excited about because we'll do that over around Thanksgiving and we'll be up in what Greg's parents' house in North Georgia. And it's a two and half hour drive to Knoxville.
00:29:37
Speaker
So we're going to up and get that, um, tour done with the three of us, her, Greg and myself. So I'm just, I'm really excited to get to do these things it's like scary to even be thinking these things yeah um and i've never told her like when she first when we first started talking about colleges like years and years ago i think her number one college we visited um washington dc and we went to georgetown university and she was like i'm gonna go to georgetown university and i'm like okay well don' she never stopped talking about georgetown it never surprised it wasn't mentioned
00:30:10
Speaker
Yes, would always talk about Georgetown. and I would never tell my children no, like that's probably really my biggest piece of advice. I guess there's a huge money factor in it. I understand that. But I'm never going to like dim my child's wants and dreams and hopes.
00:30:25
Speaker
Because like, that's Like, oh, my God, to me, I'm like, Georgetown University is so unrealistic, but I would never tell a child that. Now, of course, when you get later on into like sophomore, junior, senior year and you're getting more serious about colleges, yes, then you need to have that conversation.
00:30:39
Speaker
But Aubrey has very much come to these colleges that she's looking at completely on her own. And like has obviously Greg and I support in those. But I said probably the biggest thing is I never said like, and then it was like she wanted to go to one of the Ivy League schools and all this stuff. And it's like, okay, like if that is where our mind is and that's how far we want to shoot, like i think that's a beautiful, a beautiful thing.
00:31:03
Speaker
Yeah. And honestly, you you go and learn like we all learn, baby. It's called student loans. Welcome to the pandemic. You want to go to Georgetown? You get a student loan. think it's like i'm trying i was trying to be realistic, and I'm like, Georgetown obviously is like crazy. Like, you have to be crazy smart.
00:31:22
Speaker
But don't know. i just like kind of set more realistic standards. But I will say, like, i don't really know, like, what I want to major in, but I kind of – I'm getting the idea.
00:31:36
Speaker
of it kind of. Is this new? Is this news to me? Is this new news? I think I told you this already. When we were going around the college fair and they're like, what are you thinking? And she she had told me one thing like a few weeks before and then she went and I think you said No, you said – She said economics and I – We're at this – I read what booth we were at and I looked at her like, what? were the Alabama booth and said economics.
00:32:02
Speaker
That's the only – Because I like didn't – I'm like, oh, I don't know because everybody – No, you should have – You should have like whatever colleges you knew for sure you didn't want go to, you should have like picked the subject that they don't like master in and said that. That way it's just uncomfortable.
00:32:15
Speaker
Yeah. Awkward silence. But tell us tell us what you want. I have like three. So I really want to do like – um My friend's sister goes to Alabama and she does like magazine design slash like in like fashion and like like broadcast kind of things like i know how to explain it but like journalism like journalism basically.
00:32:42
Speaker
I want to some of like writing, photography, like all of that. um And then second, what does – shout out to Taryn. Oh, and Taryn is our loyal listener. A nurse practitioner?
00:32:56
Speaker
Yes. Like that – I don't know. I really want to do that. Just like – Okay. ah So basically you're going to become a nurse. Me. Thank you. Shout out to me. And then you're just going to continue your education like Taryn did and go to a nurse practitioner. Yeah. So you're welcome for being your inspiration.
00:33:16
Speaker
she want to do like. You want to do aesthetics. and so if i Yeah. if i If I ever went to do my nurse practitioner, that's the only thing would want to do in.
00:33:27
Speaker
i would I don't think like Derm or, you know, but those are like one of the hardest ones to get into too because people love those jobs and they don't leave. So I just, and you know, i I was done with school. I was like, I'm good.
00:33:40
Speaker
Like I'm done, but you're smart. So you'll probably love it. But I will tell you ah I, I'm going to bring this subject back up because you did mention biology is a struggle for you.
00:33:52
Speaker
um I don't think you're going to like the the process of becoming a nurse because there's a lot involved. Probably not. but I don't know I just think that's going to interest me. And then the third thing is just like business, just like getting a general like business.
00:34:11
Speaker
Nah, girl, don't shoot. you You aim high. You going through all this IB stuff and you're going to just say, no, you you aim high for something good. You need to be like a doctor. Like, don't maybe – you know what you should be I'm going to tell you what you should be.
00:34:24
Speaker
You're going to bank. And it's really one of the – these were my two paths that I would have done had I kept going. A nurse and ethicist. Just put people to sleep, baby. Bank. What if I mess up and I paralyze them? Okay. Okay.
00:34:38
Speaker
ah Not how that works. Isn't that what they They give you a shot and then if you like paralyze them? No, you would work in the OR and literally you're the person that's like, all right. Like you do it based off of like their weight. Well, when they do it wrong, they You don't just guess.
00:34:54
Speaker
Like literally there's like a calculation for you to do and you literally just sit there. you push their happy go-go juice and then just watch them. you literally just watch them. Oh, they're moving a little bit here. Here's a little extra.
00:35:08
Speaker
And you bank, like literally when I say you bank money, like nurse and emphasis, that is the creme de la creme of like nursing path. I can see the dollar signs in Aubrey's eyes. She's like, okay, okay.
00:35:22
Speaker
I've got to look into it. I'm telling you, look into it, look into it because they, that's like one of those jobs that's like, it's hard because it's like, you're looking into like, I think it's like more like PA school vibes, I think.
00:35:35
Speaker
But, um, but once you're there, baby, you're just like, like you get a clutch job. You just sit in there. You're literally just watching their vitals. Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:45
Speaker
So, you know, we've, we've got options. We've got some options, which they're all three, like pretty, pretty different. Um, so they're pretty different. Um, Yeah, I would say i say there's a three different vibes and it's kind of hard. I mean, i I guess in the beginning, too, though, you just I didn't know what I wanted to to be, but you just pick your core classes first. And then, you know, that gives you more time. It buys you time to decide what you like actually want to do.
00:36:10
Speaker
Yeah, I would say number one is like journalism, broadcasting, like media. think you want to be Andy Anderson. Yeah. Do you know who Andy Anderson is?
00:36:21
Speaker
Yeah, I was thinking more of like, I don't know if you know them, but like. Oh, and she's here. She's going to blast our age. No, they're these two sisters. And they're Darnell sisters and they go to Alabama. And like the oldest one, she does like the SEC broadcasting now.
00:36:40
Speaker
And I think that's so cool because like. and I don't know. You got me there. I don't know Darnell, but do you know Andy Anderson? Yeah. How is a guy in 10 days? Okay.
00:36:52
Speaker
I've raised her, right? I know. I know. But the one you that way she was looking, at me the way she was looking every time I said, I was like, do you know Andy Anderson? Like that that is a clutch job though. I mean, but yeah I feel like you need to go to New York City.
00:37:07
Speaker
yeah it's like The big people up there. I've been sending mom TikToks every single day of like Christmas in New York. I need to go to New York. I want to live in New York. So to Brown.
00:37:19
Speaker
Apply to Brown. would not. Isn't Brown in New York? Yeah. No, I think I would go from like, I want to go to a Southern college. i would go to like, like FSU in New York.
00:37:31
Speaker
Okay. Well then I'm, since you're looking Southern, are you going to join us already? Mm-hmm. Most definitely. Last, when we were there. You give sorority vibes. When we were there last time and i think, was it around the volleyball camp?
00:37:45
Speaker
No, it was during the volleyball. Okay, so it was a couple years ago. i took her up and down like sorority and fraternity row, specifically for so sorority row because that's what he wanted to see. The fraternity row. Yeah, I was like, eh. She was like, literally like heart eyes everywhere and I'm like, oh God, this is this is my future. Yeah.
00:38:04
Speaker
Yeah, Florida State has a nice sorority row. Like it's like the actual on the street. Like it's a movie. It's a movie sorority row. Yeah, and a very like vibrant, vibrant Greek life. So we have a lot of things happening, a lot of thoughts going around as far as college, SAT, school goes.
00:38:23
Speaker
um But why don't we switch gears a little bit and talk about some like parents – Aubrey Dynamics. Okay.
00:38:36
Speaker
She's like, what do you mean? What's your favorite trait about your mom? It's going to be, what's that, like three hours later. Literally, we're going to have to do the fast forward. Everyone's going to point at two point speeds. That way they can fast forward this part.
00:38:55
Speaker
um I'm trying to remember because I think we did this last time too. So I would love to like see the comparison of um like answers from season one to season two just to see like how they have differed or changed and perhaps blossomed.
00:39:10
Speaker
He's rolling her eyes. I feel like like half the time she just is so annoyed, so annoyed by me. What do you feel like is the biggest like generational difference between you and then Yeah.
00:39:24
Speaker
Um, I would say, like, I'm trying to think. There's two. There's two. Well, you only get one. I'm kidding. No, there's two. You only get one, please.
00:39:36
Speaker
One is, like, school, most definitely. just, like, the way you guys did school versus, like, how I have to do school. This is very different. And I'm not trying to, like – call us dumb like call you guys dumb or like understand whatever you guys went through because i'm sure like it was hard for you guys but i don't want to lessen your journey but like you don't want to lessen it but i can because it was it wasn't you can tell it's not offensive whatsoever you're definitely smarter but yeah just like a lot and think you you kind of understood that a little more recently but like last year like
00:40:16
Speaker
You're like, how why are you getting two Bs on your report card? All you have to do is know who this person is, what Ola means, and say it's hello in Spanish, and you're fine. You're passing the test.
00:40:27
Speaker
Like, it is not that easy. i know. I feel like I have gotten better. We had a conversation, I got a little better, I think. You got better. What's wrong with a b A lot of things, apparently. Nothing. I just wanted to make sure that she was asserting herself in the best of her abilities.
00:40:44
Speaker
Yeah. So are bees like cool now or No, bees are not cool. We're okay with bees. It's C's that we start to really get worried about. So bees, you don't eat for a week, but when you're C's, you're in the dungeon.
00:40:58
Speaker
Yeah. C's, we're going to have to, we're going to have to have conversations. So we'll see what this report card. Listen, my, I remember, i remember my first D was in chemistry.
00:41:10
Speaker
Only D I ever got in my life. See, I'm okay with like math and like, It's just Spanish. Spanish is literally the death of me. don't know. Just send it to me. It's so hard.
00:41:23
Speaker
But I will say the Spanish they teach here is different than my Spanish learn. or yeah Not that I learned, but like my culture, you will. That you right. That I know. it's There's different dialects of Spanish. There's Spain.
00:41:37
Speaker
There's Mexico. There's just South America. Like there's just different. um And within South America, there's different dialects of Spanish. So it's, It's very hard to pick one and learn from that. So I will agree with you with that. And that comes from someone who took Spanish thinking it was going to be an easy class for me.
00:41:54
Speaker
and it actually wasn't. Like it really wasn't that – mean most of it was easy, but like a lot of things I had to learn because it's it is very different here and how they teach it.
00:42:05
Speaker
So i will I will vouch for you on that one because – mean learning a language in general – It's fine. But you're also in like Spanish four. Like how high does it go? Five? Eight? Five.
00:42:15
Speaker
Insane. We skipped from two to three. So I missed like a whole year of things. I had to do it online. Wait, ah because of COVID? No. What do you mean? You skip from two to three. It's like make you skip.
00:42:29
Speaker
You skip three and it's online and then you go right into four. It does i i it boggles it boggles my mind. But online, like you have to like do it yourself online. like Nobody like makes you do it. You just have to be like, I'm doing this to make sure I understand. Yeah, you to be disciplined. So if if your mom had to survive a week in your school, like in your school shoes – Let's grade Grade Put her on a report card blast.
00:42:59
Speaker
Speaking report not the classes. I wouldn't be able to do IV classes. Just like in your school in general. Oh, no, no, no. In general. No, in your shoes, classes, social life, work. how How do you think she would do? She would not do good. She would struggle.
00:43:15
Speaker
We're thinking you would not do okay, you would be mental breakdown by like the end of like middle of the week. C plus is fair to say? i feel like you're thinking c plus ah Yeah, I was going to C, C plus.
00:43:28
Speaker
Did you say D? Like, what would I do best in? um well I'm going to go by category by category. Yearbook. Flag. Yeah, you can find it in your book. Flag, you would just like, that would be terrible. I'd take out the door. I can vouch for that one. I can vouch.
00:43:47
Speaker
I've seen it firsthand, so let's move on. i can um You'd probably do best to like... You'd be fine working. I would think so. I've done that job before. I would hope she would be a good hostess. I'm trying to think what else. but like Social life I would nail. so yeah yeah A plus. Social life would not.
00:44:10
Speaker
You would not nail social I'm not a regular mom. I'm a cool mom. Come on, girls. You would not. Because there's different groups of people you have to – please i have different i'm like friends with a bunch people i'm like different i don't have like one group but i'm like friends with a bunch of different people that's good though that's not a bad thing different groups so you kind of have the like something that you would say around like these people you're not bad but like something you'd say around like these people like wouldn't be like said around those people that makes sense
00:44:44
Speaker
Right. But that's not a bad thing. It's actually a great thing to be in different, like friends with different quote unquote groups of people, just because that's how people excel in life. They know, they know a little piece of everybody and they're not, you know, which I know this is something your mom has always instilled in the news to be kind to everybody. So on that tracks, you know?
00:45:05
Speaker
um yeah Okay. which you we fine So what's something your mom does? That drives you crazy, but you secretly love. Or you're secretly like, maybe not love, but you secretly are like, oh, I get it.
00:45:18
Speaker
Like, it's annoying that you do this, but like, I get why you do this. Nothing. Literally everything I get. Not the Anna Delvey response. Nothing.
00:45:30
Speaker
I either love it or I hate it. So there's not like one There's no one between. I would say – There's no gray area. Yeah, there's no gray. Like, do you have something in mind?
00:45:43
Speaker
going see how accurate this is. I mean, I'm super overprotective, and I know that you don't like that, but it all comes from a good place. And we don't need to get into how crazy I am about things.
00:45:54
Speaker
I'm just super overprotective. I'm like stranger danger. got to keep your hair on a swivel, and she thinks I'm so psycho. But when you are raising – when you are a woman raising three girls You have to just make sure that you are vigilant and you're safe and she gets so annoyed by it.
00:46:11
Speaker
um We don't need to go to any i'm details or conversations and throw me under the bus. don't annoyed when it's like once, but when you say like multiple things in the span of like an hour, it's like I understand.
00:46:24
Speaker
i get it. Do you? But do you understand? I'm cautious. But do you? Yes, I will say like the one thing. do you know any Taekwondo moves? Do you know how to protect yourself? Yeah, I do.
00:46:35
Speaker
I will say the one thing that, like, my friends, like, make – not make fun of me, but, like, tease me the most about is, like, if we're, like, walking – like, one of my friends lives in, like, townhomes. we're, like, walking to the pool, which is, like, a 30-second walk from her house, like, at night, I'll constantly, like, looking behind me, and they'll be like, it's fine. Like, we're in a gated community. Nobody's going come, and like, get you. But I'm like – No, I get very, like – Oh, very, like – Anxious. One can.
00:47:05
Speaker
And those are the people that are going to get caught first. It's fine. They don't live here. the Yeah, they do. I bet you there's someone in there living in there. That's a little creep. You always got to think someone's coming after you. That's the mentality you need to have.
00:47:17
Speaker
You should take, maybe you guys should go do like a self-defense class and then your mom would feel a little better about that. I'm supposed to, have looked them up. I'm trying to find like where I want to go, but I do. And I want to do that with her, especially, obviously we will be doing it before she goes um to college. And I don't want to instill like her to feel like, like on edge all the time. I just want to still instill like vigilance in her, like that she should always be aware of her surroundings. I mean, we've all heard the horror stories and I, I just, you can't turn a blind eye as a mom and specifically as a mom.
00:47:51
Speaker
to girls. um yeah So as as sad as that is to say, i mean, it has to be said. Like you you have to instill that like that knowledge. Then you have to – yeah, you've got always kind of be um you know watching out for yourself. so Well, this is not this is not this is not an ad for this company, but I am going to put this plug in there because i used to have one and then just – ah became a big girl. I don't know. i I have it still. I don't know where it is though.
00:48:23
Speaker
um Have you thought about getting her a birdie at a birdie thing for like keys? ah Something where you pull off and it's like, yeah. So it literally like, it's an alert. It like literally pulls off. Like you have to, it doesn't just fall off. Like you physically have to like pull it off.
00:48:40
Speaker
And it's not only, it's a very loud sound, but it's also a very blinding light. So you could like put it into someone's face. And you can, the one I had, it's like 20 bucks. It's really not that expensive. But the one I had, um I didn't pay for the service, but you can pay for the service.
00:48:55
Speaker
So if you were in a spot like that, you were in danger, it sends a ping to like the closest police station and sends a ping to maybe your mom. It shows your location. So i'm it keeps you safe. It's like, know, especially like when you go off to college, if you're, if you are afraid of walking to the pool,
00:49:14
Speaker
in the middle of the night, then you're going need something to make you feel little safe. That's kind of crappy that it's only like if you pay for premium, then they'll let you – the police know where you are. Well, that's like with anything, right? It's it's like when you pay for the stuff in the car, like, you know? Yeah, like the – Yeah, yeah. I will say I have seen i have seen the birdie and I don't – we don't have it, but like my – and this is like – not like rocket science.
00:49:39
Speaker
If I'm ever like alone or with the kids, more specifically at night, like if I'm like gone to target, like later in the evening or whatever, but I'm walking in my car, I always have my keys out and I have my finger on the alarm button.
00:49:51
Speaker
So if anything were to like happen or like that some instance game, I like immediately would not say that would scare someone, but like, it's gonna alert someone in the area.
00:50:03
Speaker
have a car alarm and that's not the same as the birdie i'm just saying for like people who like don't have anything to me that's to eat because we all have a car alarm button on our keys so um yeah i just think a lot like this is like again i had i had one that alerts but to me i'm i'm like not sense is it census what's that like like when i hear a car alarm i don't even pay attention to anymore because car alarms go off oh like descent desensitized yeah like i'm just like okay whatever like i honestly get annoyed i'm like Whose car alarm is going off? for me like i'm ah and you i'm like so i hope so I hope no one was asking for help because were not getting it from me because i live I'm just like, oh my God, turn it off. like Whose car alarm is that? won't shut off.
00:50:46
Speaker
She's busy putting her groceries in her car. Can you turn it off? like Start your car. like what's What's going on? so Anyways, the birdie is way louder than that. like it is a very like I dropped it one time and I was like panicked because I was like, oh my God, like it's so loud.
00:51:02
Speaker
um But mine, i think I dropped mine so many times that now like it would start like randomly beeping on its own because I just like throw my keys everywhere. Yeah. but not and It's a great option. i had my the cardiologist I worked for. He actually bought it for his daughter who went off to college. And he was like, this man this makes me feel safe because now she's not under my roof anymore.
00:51:23
Speaker
And I know that she has some sort of I mean, some people carry pepper spray. That's another option. Yeah, I feel like that would be a lot. And this is not to like, now I feel like we've taken like a turn. i feel like we should probably bring this back on the up and up because now we've taken a turn on like safety. Now I'll raise it. Okay, now I'm extra anxious.
00:51:40
Speaker
So let's maybe switch it to like some fun rapid fire questions. How about that? We're ending it with a rapid fire. Unless you have anything further to share, unless you have any e hot gossip um that you'd like to share about anybody. You don't have to give names, but you're welcome to share hot gossip.
00:51:58
Speaker

00:52:44
Speaker
so I'm going to give you a moment of redemption here. and She's laughing already. of How is it being – because now your sisters are older too. They talk. They walk. They can go potty by themselves.
00:52:56
Speaker
That makes it worse. oh Like it makes it worse. like they It is so bad. Like it is What you mean? What do you mean? Like because they bother you or because they want to be like you?
00:53:11
Speaker
Neither. I'm sure they idolize you.
00:53:16
Speaker
It's just like whatever I do, it's like, oh, she's doing that to make me upset. And it's like – Wait, who? They're doing it to make you upset or you're doing it to make them upset? Which way? I'm doing it to make them upset.
00:53:26
Speaker
Like Kennedy, like I'll like do something. I'll be like, oh, Charlie, we're both eating cereal. And can a but Kennedy will be like, well, I'm not eating cereal. Are you saying that I'm not good enough for you guys so I'm not eating cereal?
00:53:38
Speaker
And like tell mom, be like, obviously I wasn't eating cereal. It's like – Okay. Like it's all the time. this is my life, you guys. It's all the time. this is my life.
00:53:50
Speaker
Okay. we when we When you come back in two more seasons, i'm going to ask you the same question. Let's hope for an improvement on the siblinghood. I don't know. i don't know. I'll be in college hopefully by then.
00:54:02
Speaker
How do you – okay, how do you feel about Charlie sleeping underneath her bed? What are your thoughts? No, it's right next to my room and all I hear is like screaming and like, Kennedy, stop. No, when she goes under her bed. No, when she goes in her dungeon. When she goes in her dungeon. Like her little nest.
00:54:18
Speaker
No, I – like I just don't – I don't understand. Like we went to dinner tonight at the place I work and she was being a menace society. Like an absolute menace. And she can be a menace at any point. With those cheats, can get away with it. Yeah. All right. So sisterhood is going great. Love to hear it Love to hear it. Cannot wait until you guys.
00:54:41
Speaker
I cannot wait until the college update series. She's going be like, ah Sisterhood's the best. I'm not with them every day anymore. so I love it. I love them so much. I love to come home and see them. Kennedy already cries when we talk about college. robby She stops. See, they idolize you. told you. She does.
00:54:59
Speaker
She does. She just wants like they – They do. They, she loves her so much. and I think it's just they like butt heads so easily, but she does. Anytime we talk about college, she like cries.
00:55:11
Speaker
So you baby. Yeah. It's going to be rough. It's going to be rough. It's going to be a transition for her. Who is she, who is she going to bully? You know, she's going to have to a new target. It's probably going to be your mom. It already is mom. Yeah.
00:55:26
Speaker
It's to be your mom. I'm the punching bag in this house. Everybody just like, everybody if somebody has a problem, they're coming to me and going off and complaining and crying and whatever about it. I am, I am. Yeah, that's me.
00:55:41
Speaker
Okay. Well, thank you so much for that update. um' Like I said, we'll ask again in two years and hope for the best. But with that being said, let's go to rapid fire. And when we say rapid fire, it means like,
00:55:56
Speaker
Rapid fire. You know how this game goes, right? I know. going need a couple of seconds to think of an answer, though. Oh, wait. Before rapid fire. I do have, because, you know, last time we did also ask for clarification on certain things we don't know. And perhaps you can clarify this for all the people out there. and i know you you probably already know what I'm about to ask.
00:56:13
Speaker
already know she's going to ask. She already knows. I probably don't even have to say it because you can probably like, I don't know what it means. Anyways, could you clarify for the class of everyone that's listened?
00:56:24
Speaker
What's six, seven? Okay, i don't even know like what it exactly means. All I know is there's a basketball and it made to it and the sound was like six seven And now everyone's just like, that's just like... So can you use it in context? Or is it just like at any point of my day, I can just be like six seven and like like or what like Yeah, it's just like people say it and will die laughing like today at the flag tournament.
00:56:54
Speaker
one of our coaches was like, they're getting like six and seven yards. And that literally people were like trying not to laugh. yeah i don't I personally don't really find it funny. Except when dad does it. Because Greg is one like, I don't know, six, seven. and I it really funny.
00:57:12
Speaker
but i mean like Is it just like something that you can just say at any time? like it's Like that's what it means. Like it literally makes means nothing that it doesn't – there's no context. You know, like some of the words that you – your generation has come up with it does mean certain things so this just it's just there yeah it really just like doesn't really mean anything I will say I like only time like I'll say is like I have a French friend who'll be like six seven seven And so, like, if something happens, I'll be like, seven like, saying, like, a French accent.
00:57:42
Speaker
Because, like, I think that's funny because it's, like, she's just so, like, it's just funny. She don't get it either. Yeah, she doesn't get it either. She goes, 6'7". But, yeah, I don't – it's not really a anything is significant.
00:57:55
Speaker
Got it. Okay. Just I felt the need. and I felt the need to have to – Yeah, you were your first. We had to ask that. All right. um How do you want to do this? do you want me to ask and then you go you ask and we just go back and forth?
00:58:07
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Are you ready, Aubrey? Yeah. She's nervous. I'm ready. Okay. Ready? Go-to coffee order.
00:58:18
Speaker
It depends from where. From Starbucks. It would be a – probably the shaken brown sugar oat milk espresso. Bomb. From Dutch Bros recently.
00:58:31
Speaker
It's like seasonal, but it's the pumpkin brulee cold brew. Ooh. I've not tried. But I will say recently I've been on the strawberry, I'll say, refresher train from Starbucks.
00:58:46
Speaker
It's fresh. Which is surprising. I've kind of like gone off coffee a little bit. Okay. Three different options. We like that. all right. What is your go-to comfort show? I would say Gossip Girl or Glee.
00:58:57
Speaker
Oh, Glee. Probably Gossip Girl. Love the Glee shout out though. Gossip Girl is great, but love the Glee shout out. She's been listening. Tell them your favorite Glee song you've been listening to. On Rafe, he is like, um, Creep.
00:59:13
Speaker
Oh my God. Of all the songs they sing, that's yeah what the one? What do you mean of all the songs? Are we watching the same Glee? There's literally like a thousand songs per episode. Yeah, but Creep is so good. It is. It's a really good. It's so good. It's a great rendition. Yes, but.
00:59:32
Speaker
It's so good. It's so good. Oh my gosh. I'm so happy for you. I didn't know you were a Gleek. Welcome. Love that. Okay. If you could trade places with your mom for one day, what would you do? um I would probably start my morning off going to get coffee and then going to her little workout at Barry's.
00:59:52
Speaker
And then go in, like, buy a new set from Lulu. And then ghost to Sweetgreen. Not the most bougie day ever.

Okay. i'm more ofler None of this makes sense. To our listeners, if this makes sense to you, please raise your hand. If not, then we're all learning something new together. hi i fear that our listeners' brains may actually be rotting.
01:11:23
Speaker
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Do you have any more? These are good, though. These are good. What else you got? What else you got? I enjoy being educated. um That's about it, really. Just like, unless you are not, if you have any questions for me about anything else you're confused about, like 6, 7, then that's it.
01:11:41
Speaker
I mean, now I'm confused about this brain rot situation. I'm going to spend the next hour Googling what this is because... Jamina is going to be Googling this and searching on Instagram and that's what your Instagram feed is now. Yeah, my algorithm is already in. Yeah, it's already listening.

01:13:06
Speaker
um So. The life of a smart girl, if you will. like the life of a smarty. Any last final things you'd like to say or final thoughts? Any kind of words for us?
01:13:17
Speaker
Kind words only. We don't take criticism well.
01:13:24
Speaker
No, maybe it's that you guys should have me on here more often. Oh, my gosh. This just proves our point. This just proves our point from the beginning. Thank you for saying that. This proves your mom's point. I'm begging to come on. Like, I don't know. I think I just taught you guys a lot that – You did educate us, I will say, towards the end there.
01:13:40
Speaker
I do want to be on for like a pop culture episode. Okay. I think you would be very insightful from your perspective. with the Stars info, like I –
01:13:52
Speaker
Oh, I can do an entire Dancer of the Stars episode. Yeah. Well, keep that in mind for next season then and not and wait so long. Yeah. I know. Okay. but Before I go off to college. Oh, my Lord. when She leaves.
01:14:04
Speaker
You're still going to ask to come on. I mean – Well, thanks for coming on. it was great, you know, getting to chat with you about things that we really don't – I mean, we chat. We obviously talk every single day. she actually ignores me. but we don't She got bees, everybody. She got bees. Annie has been ignoring her for a month. So this is the most they've interacted.
01:14:24
Speaker
No, I learned something new about some of the um majors that she's looking into for college.
Food and Beverage Preferences
01:14:31
Speaker
i some of these her go to coffee order at Dutch Bros was new. I knew your Starbucks one like the back of my hand. Yeah. But, um you know.
01:14:41
Speaker
right Well, then a final final rapid fire because I did want to ask is Dutch Bros or Starbucks? Starbucks. I just like the food options at Dutch Bros are so limited.
01:14:51
Speaker
yeah And I didn did have Dutch Bros this morning though before my flag game. It's don't come for me, Dutch Bros. Don't come for me. love Dutch Bros so much. And I will say me and my friend Blair have like this thing with like the straws because it's like a myth that the straw color they give you is like how they think of you.
01:15:11
Speaker
oh so it's like if you have a green straw you're like pretty and like good like aura but if you have like a green straw it means like you're ugly oh my god that's getting much i feel like you're kind of talking wicked vibes here which is rude alphabet is a good witch okay orange is like you're odd and that's like one thing that we do is like When we get them, it's like a- I like that. I like that. funeral Next time I go to Dutch Bros, my order at Dutch Bros is the skinny golden eye, by the way. It's very delicious if you've never tried it.
01:15:43
Speaker
um Golden eye? Golden eagle? Maybe it's golden eagle. Yeah, golden eagle. So good. But anyways, um like your mom said thank you so much for coming. You always grace us with your beautiful presence and lots of intel. Lots of intel. We always learn so much.
01:15:59
Speaker
i'm and I have a lot of research to do tonight, including my SAT scores, which I will follow up on. Your Italian brain roll and your SAT scores. Yeah, that's literally what I'm going to do. And you know what we should do, Annie? We should go retake that. Next time you take the SATs, let's sign up for it. Let's go take it.
01:16:14
Speaker
Can you guys please do a practice SAT? How fun would that be? Like we should. We should do a practice at easy just to see like on what level we would match up to Aub. No. Please. That'd be so pleased. I would not even make it into – no.
01:16:28
Speaker
No. You guys have to do that. That would be – we'll do it. I think that would be so funny. it's Unless it's like three hours long, then so I'm out. Like my attention span lasts a solid 30 minutes.
01:16:40
Speaker
It's like 30 minutes per session. Yeah. How many sessions are we talking? Four. going to have to split this up in four days.
01:16:50
Speaker
Already regretting it. But anyways, so we love having you every time you come on we will make sure to continue on. We'll keep you in our thoughts for a pop culture for sure. I think you would have great insight and intel on that.
01:17:05
Speaker
And from here on out, everyone's going to be judging themselves based off of their Dutch bros coffee straw. So thank you so much for that. You're welcome. Do you ever have like a segment of me maybe? i could pick a segment every episode.
01:17:18
Speaker
This girl. A pop culture segment. This girl. She's already plugging herself We got to wrap it up before she starts to – she takes over Wine Mama podcast. did Yeah. She is now. Full host. Imagine once she's 21 and she can join in on the wine though. That's when things are going to get crazy. Maybe we will add you on.
01:17:35
Speaker
ah for a segment. um It'll be the college series segment. Are you college? to run Yeah, you are. Oh my God. Just making sure, you know, don't do bad things before 21.
01:17:45
Speaker
