Hype was out of control? Iswith Elizabethany and Zach I'm worried about us
because a couple of weeks ago,I had my first house fire, and
you who also had a fire?This week I did. I caught my
entire fence on fire in my backyard. Okay, so we know you're a
(00:25):
little dramatic when we're talking entire fence. What are we talking here, I'm
talking about the entire perimeter of myyard was on fire because the wooden fence
caught fire, and each post alongthe entire perimeter is up in flames,
every single one. I'm not evenbeing dramatic. What did you do?
Well? What had happened was isI was trying to be a good housewife
(00:49):
and grilled dinner. So I startedthe grill, went inside to it could
warm up, and I came backout and it was just billowing in flames,
like the entire grill caught on fire, and it's close to our fence.
So I opened it and the flameshopped from the grill to the top
of the fence, So the entiretop of the fence literally caught on fire
all the way around the yards.So you have to get a whole new
(01:10):
fence or just chop off the top. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna do
the cheap way and just just chopoff the top. Oh my god.
I always do things that you playin my new house, and I still
would not even do that if likefrugal Elizabeth, and he's telling me not
to do it. That's saying alot. It's gonna look so bad,
it's gonna look super ratchet. ButI can't afford a new fence. Somebody
(01:34):
please and does help. We can'thave this many fires like actual fire.
We know we are a dumpster firetogether, but these are fires. Yeah.
I want to talk about this storythat came out this week. Joshua
Jackson. I know him as Dawson'sCreek. I don't know what else he's
been in. I don't care Dawson'sCreek. He was in Mighty Ducks.
Oh yeah, okay, So hesaid that his wife is I don't know
(01:57):
his woman. She loves watching hissex scenes in other shows. Oh would
you love watching your boyfriend David ina sex scene. We're saying he's an
actor, right, He's not justsome random person. He's not an only
fans model, right. I don'tknow if I would love it, but
I definitely would watch it because Iwould want to know if he's doing something
(02:20):
different in those scenes than what hedoes in our bedroom. Okay, Yeah,
if it's a scene, I wouldassume they're not doing anything super wild.
Yeah, I mean it might kindof turn me on. Okay,
I honestly cannot imagine it. Ithink I would be okay with I think
I don't know that I would loveit. Yeah. Well, I think
(02:42):
your husband would have a harder timewatching you and a sex scene. He
would never he would lose his mind. We'd lose our marriage, even if
it was part of my job,No chance. Here's this you need to
know with elizabethany and So, Lowe'sis actually doing a really cool free Mother's
(03:04):
Day flower giveaway. So actually,starting today, if you go to the
Lows website, you can sign upto go to their one pint flower giveaway
event and lows across the country.We'll have an event on Mother's Day from
ten am to one pm where youcan go and pick up some free flowers.
There's activities, there's giveaways, allof these things for moms. So
now you have no excuse not toget mome flowers exactly. You can't even
(03:27):
say I can't afford it. Ohmy god. It is also a prom
season, or it's been prom season. I think maybe there's still a few
left. But if you've seen peopletaking photos with goats, which I just
it really is, people are rentinggoats just for a photo. I didn't
know they had goat rentals. Itturns out I didn't either, but they
do. And it's partly because it'stwenty twenty three and it's relating to Michael
(03:53):
Jordan, who is the goat.Oh. I was like, what a
random animal to have pictures with.I know, so that's how it's art
it. But then other people werelike, I am the goat. There's
kind of a lot of people areusing goats as dates. It's I mean,
that's one way to remember your promreally well, bring a goat?
Sure? Yeah yeah, wait,I have to ask you. Did you
(04:15):
see that Miley Cyrus release a secretalbum under a fake name Annah Montana.
No, under this name Clara Pierce. So it came out on March tenth,
the same day that Miley Cyrus releasedEndless Summer Vacation. So there's an
album called Down with Me that wasreleased on Apple Music, Spotify, and
(04:35):
everybody's saying that it's like a divorcealbum because there's a bunch of breakup anthems
talking about like Liam Himsworth. SoI'm gonna play your clip and Miley Cyrus
is not confirmed that this is her, but Rolling Stone confirmed that this is
Miley Cyrus. Listen to the vocals. Well, yeah, yeah, one
(05:00):
Miley Cyrus without a doubt. Butshe released it underneath the name Claire Appear.
So did it get any listens?I'm assuming that it just, like
whatever, all these music places iHeartRadiothought that it was a new artist,
and yeah so I Heeart, likeall of these different places thought it was
a new artist. They didn't reallypush it, and then a bunch of
people just came across it one dayand really posted all over TikTok, Twitter,
(05:25):
all of these things, and nowit's been taken down from all of
the streaming service. WHOA. Yeah, So I'm intrigued. You know how
like the AI they were creating fakesongs using their voices. What if somebody
created like a fake album using AI. That's interesting. Yeah, I'm so
intrigued about what the real story ishere. Yeah, and I am so
(05:46):
excited about this because you know,I've been doing technically IVF to have a
baby VA surrogate, and it's expensive. It is extremely expensive, and a
lot of people have to go throughIVF because they can't have a baby,
or they can't even go through IVFbecause they can't afford it, so then
they can't have a baby. Sothere is now this robot that has successfully
(06:06):
implanted or successfully done IVF, andtwo baby girls have been born from it.
So like the robot takes the turkeybaser, it's technically like a little
needle that somehow puts the sperm rightinto the egg, interresting. So they're
saying this will take down costs significantly. Well, yeah, you don't have
(06:30):
to have all of the doctors likeright, all of the on call staff
and all of the different things thatyou have to do, right, you'd
be able to just go to yourgynecologists instead of a special clinic. That's
actually really cool. I love thatfor women, I love it as well.
I also love a cocktail. Yousaid you have a special one.
Yeah, it's called the Sleepy Girlmocktail. So I know a lot of
people are dealing with like insomnia,not being able to sleep. So a
(06:53):
bunch of people on TikTok are makingthis is made with magnesium, a prebiotic
soda, and the star of thedrink is tart cherry juice. Apparently there's
something in the tart cherry juice thatactually helps you produce more melatonin naturally instead
of taking like melatonin pills or whatever. So a lot of people are saying
(07:14):
that is actually helping them sleep andstay asleep throughout the night. Well,
you know what they say about TikToktrends, try it first, consult the
doctors next exactly. I mean Idid try it. It'll work. I
slept great, but I was alsoexhausted, so I don't know. And
there's a new Barbie which is veryexciting. First of all, if you
did not see John Cena is goingto be a Merman Barbie in the movie,
(07:39):
I'm here for that. And thenthere's also more inclusivity with the dolls.
Yeah, they are announcing that theyjust have their very first Barbie doll
with down syndrome, and it's partof their effort to make Barbies more inclusive.
They have them with hearing aids,wheelchairs, prosthetic legs and now with
down syndrome, and she's beautiful.She's beautiful, And I love that.
(08:00):
Part of their statement was like,we want children to normalize and be able
to play with them without being like, what's wrong. Yeah, so as
soon as they see their toys lookinglike other kids on the playground, they
feel comfortable and normalizing. What itis, totally normal. Absolutely, you
and I are normally perfectly fine talkingabout money. We've done it several times
on this show. Yeah, whocares, right, I do not hold
(08:22):
back. I ask people about theircredit scores. I asked them about their
salary, how much everything costs,how much they pay, I don't care.
Yeah. I love this show onNetflix, how to Get Rich or
how to Be Rich or something.The guy Remi says, you have to
talk about money with your friends,with your partner. I think it adds
another level of accountability if you're talkingabout it to other people, because then
(08:43):
you kind of like hide behind yourmoney situation. Yeah. And I just
think you learn so much from otherpeople. And that's why I want to
talk about it now, because Imade myself a little bit sick this week.
Why and learning something about money.I have asked so many people.
I knew that my parents didn't teachme about money. Yeah, but I've
(09:05):
asked my husband. I've asked somany people what to do with all this
money that I've been saving up forsurrogacy for adoption, and everyone's like,
invest in it. But that's allthey say, invest in Why? Like,
how do you invest it? Right? And I'm like, I'm not
gonna go put it into stocks andthen have a chance of losing my money,
No chance. Right? Have youever heard of a high yield savings
account? I actually have one ofthose? Well what the hell you didn't
(09:28):
tell me about it either, Isaid, you and I each need to
come up with one money tip.Right. I have a savings account.
It's what my mom set me upwith years ago, and it's with Bank
of America. And I get likepoint five percent every year or something,
so hardly anything, and I thoughtit was pretty cool that I was getting
I don't know, twenty dollars orsomething every year. Yeah, are you?
(09:52):
I wow? Four percent I couldhave been getting for the last six
years while I've been saving up.I could have had dub technically like five
digits of extra money. I feellike a really bad friend for not telling
you about it, because I madelike twenty six bucks last month and just
enter one month and yeah, yep, so I am doing that today.
(10:16):
Do that today. I also havea piece of advice of what I do
personally. Okay, I call itmy new zero. So say you start
out and you have one hundred dollarsin your bank account. Okay, you
get an extra twenty dollars, sonow you have one hundred and twenty.
So now one hundred dollars is myzero. So I only have twenty dollars
to spend. So each hundred thatyou get to So say now I'm at
(10:37):
a thousand, thousand dollars is mynew zero. Cannot go below it.
I have absolutely no money, soevery hundred dollars is my new zero.
For like my savings account. Ido like that you can't take it out
or whatever. Yeah, So likesay I have an eleven hundred bucks my
bank account and a thousand is myzero. I only have a one hundred
bucks to spend. I like that. It's helpful. And see, I
(11:01):
do all those kinds, not thatspecifically. I'm really good about getting everything
on clearance, about putting things intosavings, but I could have been getting
extra money for doing nothing. Yeah, you definitely could have been doing that.
So I'm so sorry. I'm abad friend. But now at least
you know. Yeah, and someof these like you only need a dollar
(11:22):
to sign up, so please don'tbe me. If you have anything in
savings, anything, go yeah,look up for look up for savings.
Okay. No, No, I'msick. I'm sick, and I probably
should not be making any more decisionsfor other people because I'm making too many
for myself recently that my head hurts. But maybe it'll be easier for someone
(11:43):
else if i'm if it's someone else'sproblem, it's always easier said than done.
Yeah, so I appreciate you calling. What is your name, I'm
Leah. Leah tell us what youneed help deciding. My grandfather lives like
on the other side of the country, and he's been sick and like in
and out of hospital for a while, and I booked a trip before I
(12:05):
knew like his condition on vacation andit's coming up and I just feel like
I should cancel my trip and gohome and see him. Are you saying
he's gonna die? I mean eventuallybut he's like, my parents are like,
you should probably come home. Howlong is your vacation? It's a
week, but I don't like Ican't afford to do both. So I
(12:26):
can either get the credit now forthe ticket I already spent and needed to
go home, or thanks. Mymost important question is is Leah? Are
you part of the will? Iknew you were gonna go that way.
You were going to like just chargeit and then get your inheritance. Are
you part of the will? Imean, as dark as it is,
(12:46):
probably yeah. Okay, good,because I was about to say, if
you're not part of the will,then screw him and go on her grandfather.
It doesn't matter. He's gonna dieeither way. Okay, I where
is your vacation too? We're goingto Mexico. It took a girl's trip.
Oh girls, you gotta go.Okay, here's what's gonna happen.
(13:07):
You're gonna go on your vacation.Just say like you can't let people down,
blah blah blah. And then whenthe time comes that you have to
go home, your parents are gonnahelp you out because they're gonna feel bad
and they're gonna wan either or youcould just put it on your credit card
and then when he dies you getthe inheritance and pay it off. Oh
my god, but you're gonna needthat vacation, especially if he is,
(13:30):
which I'm very we're doing this verynuch lotly. And I'm very sad that
your grandfather is sick. But mygrandmother when she was sick. A couple
of years ago, my brother actuallyhad his first big He had never really
been on a plane, and hehad this trip to Hawaii planned and we
kind of knew that it was herlast couple days, and we just we
decided not to tell him because hewould have freaked out and yeah, and
(13:52):
been sad the whole trip, andwe wanted him to enjoy it. And
honestly, when he came home therewas still a little bit of time.
I would say, you know,I have as many conversations with him as
you can before you go, andthen keep in touch if you want to,
or find out when you get home. But worry about the home flight
after your lovely friend's vacation. Okay, let the man die. Move on.
(14:13):
You are this is so NRTI alot to you. It is,
I mean, everybody dies, it'sgonna happen either way. It's like,
like it doesn't matter if you're inMexico or if you're in the hospital with
him. He's gonna die either way, so you might as well enjoy your
life. There is maybe one morequestion I'll ask, when you drink tequila,
do you cry or do you party? Okay? So yeah, God
(14:37):
can not exactly too. And Zach, you are hoping that you get proposed
to in a month. Yeah,I'm going to Costa Rica and I'm just
praying that my boyfriend proposes while I'mthere, which this happened last trip you
guys went on and he did notpropose. Yeah, so I don't have
my like, my optimism bucket isnot very full. How often do you
(14:58):
guys talk about getting married and proposing? Well, we like don't really talk
about getting married or proposing, butwhen we're in public and like we're out
with friends or whatever, and they'relike talking about marriage and weddings, and
like David, it'll be like,yeah, when we get married. So
it's like he references it. Butif you're not talking about it regularly privately,
(15:18):
I don't think it's happening soon.Well. I feel like if you
talk about it privately, then you'repressuring them to do it, and I
don't want him to feel pressure.I want him to feel like he wants
to do it. Okay, sure, Wow, I'm never getting engaged.
Cool story, bro, I wantedto know what you would do, because
this actually happened. A couple wastraveling with their friends and family whatever.
(15:41):
They're in another country, and hegets all of the friends and family in
on this. They kidnap her what. They're in a car, right,
and then they have somebody like comeup on the streets, start banging on
the window, pull her out ofthe car, blindfold okay, and drive
her to some like unexpected place andit all feels very legit. The friends
(16:07):
get in the car, they're like, oh my god, she's gonna kill
us, like she thinks she wasjust kidnapped. Oh wait, the girl
who's getting proposed to Okay, theytake her to this place. They're like
shoving her the entire way the wayI would poop in my pants. Right.
But then she gets there and hedoes this nice proposal. But would
you say yes after pooping your pants? I feel like I would be.
(16:33):
I feel like I would say yesbecause I love extremes. I love over
the top. I love extremes.So if he's doing something that extravagant,
that would be like exhilarating to me. I thought you were going to set.
You would break up with him onthe spot. No, I would
be so excited if he put thatmuch thought into the proposal and that like
(16:53):
exhilarating experience, I would be allin, Wow, what would you No,
I'd be out. You just terrifiedme. This is why you think
is romantic? Absolutely not. Yeah, I could see how it could be
scary, but I would feel likethere's a thrill at the end of it.
(17:14):
I can see how it would bescary. Oh my god. I
didn't think you could shock me,but you have. I have been trying
to figure out how it works tomeet your neighbors. I've never owned a
house. Now that I do,I feel like when you actually own a
house, then you get to knowyour neighbors. When I lived in an
apartment, you don't talk to yourneighbors. No, you don't talk to
anybody in the hall way. No, absolutely not. So I was like,
do I bring a I don't know, jello shots over? Do they
bring me a cobbler? I mean, what happens. I mean, I
(17:37):
feel like there should be like awelcome package right front. Poor right,
I was waiting for them to bringme food. Well, no, it
turns out yesterday we were outside,my friends stopped by and brought ten am
beers. So okay, my kindof friends. Yes, we were outside,
and then my neighbor walks out andI'm like, Hi, Hi,
we drink ten am beers? Youlike one? And she says no,
(18:00):
I don't drink, and I'm I'mthinking we're screwed. Yeah, you're not
going to be friends, right,So then her man I yes, walks
out. Later he is down tohave a beer. Okay, progress,
right, So we start talking andlet's just say they're swingers. Oh,
just cut straight to it. Yeah, did they invite you over? Well,
(18:23):
at one point during the conversation,I noticed that they had a pretty
inconspicuous like pineapple light. Okay,that's the first sign of a swing in
their garden. Yeah. And thenI casually I was talking to my friend
who brought the beers over. Icasually mentioned that I had a sex swing.
They overheard that and questioned it.Did they Wow? Okay, they
(18:45):
were just kind of interested. Iwas like, well, this is embarrassing
that they heard me talk about thisat now eleven am in the morning.
But then later that night I seethem and they're like, hey, want
to come over and swing? What? So were they talking about my swing
or were they saying want to comeswing? Do they have a swing in
(19:07):
their backyard? Oh? No?I mean there's only one other meaning of
it is like want to come overand swing? And they had like six
people walking into their house. Ohso did you want to go over and
swing? I was so awkward.I was like, I gotta go.
Are they hot? No? Ohso what if they were hot? Give
me like at least a five yearmarriage on my own before we get into
(19:30):
that perfect Yeah, warm JB upto the idea. Yeah, time for
the happy ending. We bring everythingto a close with happiness, warm feelings,
great ideas, all of the things. Yes, so what you got?
Okay? So it starts out kindof crappy because there's this eighteen year
old girl or transgender binary whatever theygo by. Their name is be Haze,
(19:55):
but they go to a Nashville Christianschool and so they were denied entrance
to their very own prom because theywore a suit instead of address. So
she posted on Instagram and was like, Hey, I don't think that you
should tell me what's feminine and thatI can't wear a suit. So there
was a local business that actually decidedto start to go fund me account and
throw a private prom for b Hayesand twenty five of their closest friends.
(20:18):
So the entire community came together raisedover twenty five thousand dollars to throw a
private prom. Since this student wasdenied for wearing a suit, so now
they get to have their own privateprom. And the go fund me account
went way above what they were expecting, so all of the extra donations are
going to Inclusion Tennessee and the OasisCenter, which is like two really incredible
(20:41):
charities. That's awesome. Honestly,that prom, the new prom, was
probably way more fun. Sounds waymore fun than these pretentious people. Yes,
I do feel like it sucks tonot have the full experience of being
there with all the people that areeven strangers or whatever and not your friends.
But yeah, that honestly was probablymore fun and that's something that they're
(21:03):
going to remember forever and got tobe celebrated for who they are instead of
being in trouble for wearing a suit. Facts. So I think that you
can make money off of the unfortunatethings that you're dealing with, right,
or you can at least find comedyin it. Yeah, comedy is my
way of dealing with rife. Ialways say, like, do the Twitter
effects, So if something is reallyannoying to you, find a way to
(21:25):
tweet it out that people would laughat. Okay, okay. But so
there is a girl who was reallyannoyed by her man snoring, so she
starts recording him, uploads it toSpotify, and is now making money because
apparently people like to listen to otherpeople snore. Good for her, Honestly,
(21:45):
my boyfriend snores, and I wantto try it. Now. There
you go, start making some money, make a whole mixtape of his snoring,
and I hope he's super embarrassed.Now, Oh, I don't think
so. Not. If they're makingmoney, they're making money. Good for
them. Probably wants to snore louder. And I always say, everybody has
a kink. I didn't know peoplewere into snoring, Right, You learn
(22:07):
something new every day, very weird. All right, you can listen to
you more of our show if youmissed it on the iHeartRadio app, search
for the Hype with Elizabethany and Zachand then if you want to find us
online, I am at Elizabethany andI am just at Zach Woodward. Have

like the AI they were creating fakesongs using their voices. What if somebody
created like a fake album using AI. That's interesting. Yeah, I'm so
intrigued about what the real story ishere. Yeah, and I am so
(05:46):
excited about this because you know,I've been doing technically IVF to have a
baby VA surrogate, and it's expensive. It is extremely expensive, and a
lot of people have to go throughIVF because they can't have a baby,
or they can't even go through IVFbecause they can't afford it, so then
they can't have a baby. Sothere is now this robot that has successfully
(06:06):
implanted or successfully done IVF, andtwo baby girls have been born from it.
So like the robot takes the turkeybaser, it's technically like a little
needle that somehow puts the sperm rightinto the egg, interresting. So they're
saying this will take down costs significantly. Well, yeah, you don't have
(06:30):
to have all of the doctors likeright, all of the on call staff
and all of the different things thatyou have to do, right, you'd
be able to just go to yourgynecologists instead of a special clinic. That's
actually really cool. I love thatfor women, I love it as well.
I also love a cocktail. Yousaid you have a special one.
Yeah, it's called the Sleepy Girlmocktail. So I know a lot of
people are dealing with like insomnia,not being able to sleep. So a
(06:53):
bunch of people on TikTok are makingthis is made with magnesium, a prebiotic
soda, and the star of thedrink is tart cherry juice. Apparently there's
something in the tart cherry juice thatactually helps you produce more melatonin naturally instead
of taking like melatonin pills or whatever. So a lot of people are saying
(07:14):
that is actually helping them sleep andstay asleep throughout the night. Well,
you know what they say about TikToktrends, try it first, consult the
doctors next exactly. I mean Idid try it. It'll work. I
slept great, but I was alsoexhausted, so I don't know. And
there's a new Barbie which is veryexciting. First of all, if you
did not see John Cena is goingto be a Merman Barbie in the movie,
(07:39):
I'm here for that. And thenthere's also more inclusivity with the dolls.
Yeah, they are announcing that theyjust have their very first Barbie doll
with down syndrome, and it's partof their effort to make Barbies more inclusive.
They have them with hearing aids,wheelchairs, prosthetic legs and now with
down syndrome, and she's beautiful.She's beautiful, And I love that.
(08:00):
Part of their statement was like,we want children to normalize and be able
to play with them without being like, what's wrong. Yeah, so as
soon as they see their toys lookinglike other kids on the playground, they
feel comfortable and normalizing. What itis, totally normal. Absolutely, you
and I are normally perfectly fine talkingabout money. We've done it several times
on this show. Yeah, whocares, right, I do not hold
(08:22):
back. I ask people about theircredit scores. I asked them about their
salary, how much everything costs,how much they pay, I don't care.
Yeah. I love this show onNetflix, how to Get Rich or
how to Be Rich or something.The guy Remi says, you have to
talk about money with your friends,with your partner. I think it adds
another level of accountability if you're talkingabout it to other people, because then
(08:43):
you kind of like hide behind yourmoney situation. Yeah. And I just
think you learn so much from otherpeople. And that's why I want to
talk about it now, because Imade myself a little bit sick this week.
Why and learning something about money.I have asked so many people.
I knew that my parents didn't teachme about money. Yeah, but I've
(09:05):
asked my husband. I've asked somany people what to do with all this
money that I've been saving up forsurrogacy for adoption, and everyone's like,
invest in it. But that's allthey say, invest in Why? Like,
how do you invest it? Right? And I'm like, I'm not
gonna go put it into stocks andthen have a chance of losing my money,
No chance. Right? Have youever heard of a high yield savings
account? I actually have one ofthose? Well what the hell you didn't
(09:28):
tell me about it either, Isaid, you and I each need to
come up with one money tip.Right. I have a savings account.
It's what my mom set me upwith years ago, and it's with Bank
of America. And I get likepoint five percent every year or something,
so hardly anything, and I thoughtit was pretty cool that I was getting
I don't know, twenty dollars orsomething every year. Yeah, are you?
(09:52):
I wow? Four percent I couldhave been getting for the last six
years while I've been saving up.I could have had dub technically like five
digits of extra money. I feellike a really bad friend for not telling
you about it, because I madelike twenty six bucks last month and just
enter one month and yeah, yep, so I am doing that today.
(10:16):
Do that today. I also havea piece of advice of what I do
personally. Okay, I call itmy new zero. So say you start
out and you have one hundred dollarsin your bank account. Okay, you
get an extra twenty dollars, sonow you have one hundred and twenty.
So now one hundred dollars is myzero. So I only have twenty dollars
to spend. So each hundred thatyou get to So say now I'm at
(10:37):
a thousand, thousand dollars is mynew zero. Cannot go below it.
I have absolutely no money, soevery hundred dollars is my new zero.
For like my savings account. Ido like that you can't take it out
or whatever. Yeah, So likesay I have an eleven hundred bucks my
bank account and a thousand is myzero. I only have a one hundred
bucks to spend. I like that. It's helpful. And see, I
(11:01):
do all those kinds, not thatspecifically. I'm really good about getting everything
on clearance, about putting things intosavings, but I could have been getting
extra money for doing nothing. Yeah, you definitely could have been doing that.
So I'm so sorry. I'm abad friend. But now at least
you know. Yeah, and someof these like you only need a dollar
(11:22):
to sign up, so please don'tbe me. If you have anything in
savings, anything, go yeah,look up for look up for savings.
Okay. No, No, I'msick. I'm sick, and I probably
should not be making any more decisionsfor other people because I'm making too many
for myself recently that my head hurts. But maybe it'll be easier for someone
(11:43):
else if i'm if it's someone else'sproblem, it's always easier said than done.
Yeah, so I appreciate you calling. What is your name, I'm
Leah. Leah tell us what youneed help deciding. My grandfather lives like
on the other side of the country, and he's been sick and like in
and out of hospital for a while, and I booked a trip before I
(12:05):
knew like his condition on vacation andit's coming up and I just feel like
I should cancel my trip and gohome and see him. Are you saying
he's gonna die? I mean eventuallybut he's like, my parents are like,
you should probably come home. Howlong is your vacation? It's a
week, but I don't like Ican't afford to do both. So I
(12:26):
can either get the credit now forthe ticket I already spent and needed to
go home, or thanks. Mymost important question is is Leah? Are
you part of the will? Iknew you were gonna go that way.
You were going to like just chargeit and then get your inheritance. Are
you part of the will? Imean, as dark as it is,
(12:46):
probably yeah. Okay, good,because I was about to say, if
you're not part of the will,then screw him and go on her grandfather.
It doesn't matter. He's gonna dieeither way. Okay, I where
is your vacation too? We're goingto Mexico. It took a girl's trip.
Oh girls, you gotta go.Okay, here's what's gonna happen.
(13:07):
You're gonna go on your vacation.Just say like you can't let people down,
blah blah blah. And then whenthe time comes that you have to
go home, your parents are gonnahelp you out because they're gonna feel bad
and they're gonna wan either or youcould just put it on your credit card
and then when he dies you getthe inheritance and pay it off. Oh
my god, but you're gonna needthat vacation, especially if he is,
(13:30):
which I'm very we're doing this verynuch lotly. And I'm very sad that
your grandfather is sick. But mygrandmother when she was sick. A couple
of years ago, my brother actuallyhad his first big He had never really
been on a plane, and hehad this trip to Hawaii planned and we
kind of knew that it was herlast couple days, and we just we
decided not to tell him because hewould have freaked out and yeah, and
(13:52):
been sad the whole trip, andwe wanted him to enjoy it. And
honestly, when he came home therewas still a little bit of time.
I would say, you know,I have as many conversations with him as
you can before you go, andthen keep in touch if you want to,
or find out when you get home. But worry about the home flight
after your lovely friend's vacation. Okay, let the man die. Move on.
(14:13):
You are this is so NRTI alot to you. It is,
I mean, everybody dies, it'sgonna happen either way. It's like,
like it doesn't matter if you're inMexico or if you're in the hospital with
him. He's gonna die either way, so you might as well enjoy your
life. There is maybe one morequestion I'll ask, when you drink tequila,
do you cry or do you party? Okay? So yeah, God
(14:37):
can not exactly too. And Zach, you are hoping that you get proposed
to in a month. Yeah,I'm going to Costa Rica and I'm just
praying that my boyfriend proposes while I'mthere, which this happened last trip you
guys went on and he did notpropose. Yeah, so I don't have
my like, my optimism bucket isnot very full. How often do you
(14:58):
guys talk about getting married and proposing? Well, we like don't really talk
about getting married or proposing, butwhen we're in public and like we're out
with friends or whatever, and they'relike talking about marriage and weddings, and
like David, it'll be like,yeah, when we get married. So
it's like he references it. Butif you're not talking about it regularly privately,
(15:18):
I don't think it's happening soon.Well. I feel like if you
talk about it privately, then you'repressuring them to do it, and I
don't want him to feel pressure.I want him to feel like he wants
to do it. Okay, sure, Wow, I'm never getting engaged.
Cool story, bro, I wantedto know what you would do, because
this actually happened. A couple wastraveling with their friends and family whatever.
(15:41):
They're in another country, and hegets all of the friends and family in
on this. They kidnap her what. They're in a car, right,
and then they have somebody like comeup on the streets, start banging on
the window, pull her out ofthe car, blindfold okay, and drive
her to some like unexpected place andit all feels very legit. The friends
(16:07):
get in the car, they're like, oh my god, she's gonna kill
us, like she thinks she wasjust kidnapped. Oh wait, the girl
who's getting proposed to Okay, theytake her to this place. They're like
shoving her the entire way the wayI would poop in my pants. Right.
But then she gets there and hedoes this nice proposal. But would
you say yes after pooping your pants? I feel like I would be.
(16:33):
I feel like I would say yesbecause I love extremes. I love over
the top. I love extremes.So if he's doing something that extravagant,
that would be like exhilarating to me. I thought you were going to set.
You would break up with him onthe spot. No, I would
be so excited if he put thatmuch thought into the proposal and that like
(16:53):
exhilarating experience, I would be allin, Wow, what would you No,
I'd be out. You just terrifiedme. This is why you think
is romantic? Absolutely not. Yeah, I could see how it could be
scary, but I would feel likethere's a thrill at the end of it.
(17:14):
I can see how it would bescary. Oh my god. I
didn't think you could shock me,but you have. I have been trying
to figure out how it works tomeet your neighbors. I've never owned a
house. Now that I do,I feel like when you actually own a
house, then you get to knowyour neighbors. When I lived in an
apartment, you don't talk to yourneighbors. No, you don't talk to
anybody in the hall way. No, absolutely not. So I was like,
do I bring a I don't know, jello shots over? Do they
bring me a cobbler? I mean, what happens. I mean, I
(17:37):
feel like there should be like awelcome package right front. Poor right,
I was waiting for them to bringme food. Well, no, it
turns out yesterday we were outside,my friends stopped by and brought ten am
beers. So okay, my kindof friends. Yes, we were outside,
and then my neighbor walks out andI'm like, Hi, Hi,
we drink ten am beers? Youlike one? And she says no,
(18:00):
I don't drink, and I'm I'mthinking we're screwed. Yeah, you're not
going to be friends, right,So then her man I yes, walks
out. Later he is down tohave a beer. Okay, progress,
right, So we start talking andlet's just say they're swingers. Oh,
just cut straight to it. Yeah, did they invite you over? Well,
(18:23):
at one point during the conversation,I noticed that they had a pretty
inconspicuous like pineapple light. Okay,that's the first sign of a swing in
their garden. Yeah. And thenI casually I was talking to my friend
who brought the beers over. Icasually mentioned that I had a sex swing.
They overheard that and questioned it.Did they Wow? Okay, they
(18:45):
were just kind of interested. Iwas like, well, this is embarrassing
that they heard me talk about thisat now eleven am in the morning.
But then later that night I seethem and they're like, hey, want
to come over and swing? What? So were they talking about my swing
or were they saying want to comeswing? Do they have a swing in
(19:07):
their backyard? Oh? No?I mean there's only one other meaning of
it is like want to come overand swing? And they had like six
people walking into their house. Ohso did you want to go over and
swing? I was so awkward.I was like, I gotta go.
Are they hot? No? Ohso what if they were hot? Give
me like at least a five yearmarriage on my own before we get into
(19:30):
that perfect Yeah, warm JB upto the idea. Yeah, time for
the happy ending. We bring everythingto a close with happiness, warm feelings,
great ideas, all of the things. Yes, so what you got?
Okay? So it starts out kindof crappy because there's this eighteen year
old girl or transgender binary whatever theygo by. Their name is be Haze,
(19:55):
but they go to a Nashville Christianschool and so they were denied entrance
to their very own prom because theywore a suit instead of address. So
she posted on Instagram and was like, Hey, I don't think that you
should tell me what's feminine and thatI can't wear a suit. So there
was a local business that actually decidedto start to go fund me account and
throw a private prom for b Hayesand twenty five of their closest friends.
(20:18):
So the entire community came together raisedover twenty five thousand dollars to throw a
private prom. Since this student wasdenied for wearing a suit, so now
they get to have their own privateprom. And the go fund me account
went way above what they were expecting, so all of the extra donations are
going to Inclusion Tennessee and the OasisCenter, which is like two really incredible
(20:41):
charities. That's awesome. Honestly,that prom, the new prom, was
probably way more fun. Sounds waymore fun than these pretentious people. Yes,
I do feel like it sucks tonot have the full experience of being
there with all the people that areeven strangers or whatever and not your friends.
But yeah, that honestly was probablymore fun and that's something that they're
(21:03):
going to remember forever and got tobe celebrated for who they are instead of
being in trouble for wearing a suit. Facts. So I think that you
can make money off of the unfortunatethings that you're dealing with, right,
or you can at least find comedyin it. Yeah, comedy is my
way of dealing with rife. Ialways say, like, do the Twitter
effects, So if something is reallyannoying to you, find a way to
(21:25):
tweet it out that people would laughat. Okay, okay. But so
there is a girl who was reallyannoyed by her man snoring, so she
starts recording him, uploads it toSpotify, and is now making money because
apparently people like to listen to otherpeople snore. Good for her, Honestly,
(21:45):
my boyfriend snores, and I wantto try it. Now. There
you go, start making some money, make a whole mixtape of his snoring,
and I hope he's super embarrassed.Now, Oh, I don't think
so. Not. If they're makingmoney, they're making money. Good for
them. Probably wants to snore louder. And I always say, everybody has
a kink. I didn't know peoplewere into snoring, Right, You learn
(22:07):
something new every day, very weird. All right, you can listen to
you more of our show if youmissed it on the iHeartRadio app, search
for the Hype with Elizabethany and Zachand then if you want to find us
