00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:00.930
Well, hello there.
2
00:00:00.970 --> 00:00:03.950
Welcome back to Bed Bugs Podcast. I'm your host, Alison Bryan.
3
00:00:04.129 --> 00:00:14.560
Let's lay in bed and talk about what's bugging us.
4
00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:17.269
I am going to be in Disney World this weekend.
5
00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.769
I am going to Disney World with my best friend
6
00:00:20.949 --> 00:00:23.429
and her sister and my cousin, and we are going
7
00:00:23.469 --> 00:00:28.190
to have the time of our lives blacking out across
8
00:00:28.230 --> 00:00:31.320
the world. We went to Disney World a few years
9
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.719
ago and it was just the most fun I've ever
10
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.700
had maybe in my whole life. Since that trip happened,
11
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.630
we have not stopped thinking about wanting to go back.
12
00:00:43.549 --> 00:00:46.310
And last year we were trying to plan it and
13
00:00:46.390 --> 00:00:51.359
it's just so hard to plan group trips in your 20s.
14
00:00:51.409 --> 00:00:55.549
Like a group trip with your friends at this age,
15
00:00:56.170 --> 00:01:00.579
not only... crucial to the plot but also probably one
16
00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:04.180
of the hardest things you could possibly accomplish Olivia is
17
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.359
still in school she's still in college and the rest
18
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.719
of us have like adult grown-up jobs so it's just
19
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.299
kind of this weird limbo we're old now things are
20
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.019
getting serious for us and we have to make real
21
00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:22.819
real strides to hang out um me and Lauren and
22
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.969
Olivia used to literally just like go to the movies
23
00:01:26.150 --> 00:01:29.090
after school every day. And that is no longer our lives.
24
00:01:29.209 --> 00:01:33.390
We have to like actively coordinate spending time with one another.
25
00:01:33.409 --> 00:01:39.769
The group dynamic I think is absolutely crucial to if
26
00:01:39.969 --> 00:01:43.769
a group trip works or is a flop. I have
27
00:01:43.829 --> 00:01:47.819
a firm, firm belief that you need to hold each
28
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.180
other accountable. It needs to be a group. that has
29
00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:53.980
yin and yang. We have found a group dynamic that
30
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:58.540
keeps everyone in check. Everyone should be a little nervous
31
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:02.359
and have a little bit of fear from at least
32
00:02:02.750 --> 00:02:05.709
one other party or else it kind of can go
33
00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:08.430
to shit really, really quickly. I went on a group
34
00:02:08.449 --> 00:02:12.610
trip one time with my cousin Anthony that was one
35
00:02:12.949 --> 00:02:18.210
of the worst times maybe in my entire life. And
36
00:02:18.219 --> 00:02:21.469
I have been on a mission since that time. Granted,
37
00:02:21.490 --> 00:02:25.530
I was 17 years old, 16, 17 years old. So
38
00:02:25.990 --> 00:02:29.710
a child, but it was horrible. Like we had a
39
00:02:29.750 --> 00:02:34.490
really bad time. Since that trip, we have sought out
40
00:02:34.569 --> 00:02:39.849
to make every group trip foolproof. You can't start throwing
41
00:02:39.909 --> 00:02:43.129
in mixed variables. And we found something that really, really
42
00:02:43.169 --> 00:02:45.060
works for us. And I don't think any of us
43
00:02:45.889 --> 00:02:49.069
want to give that up anthony and i on our
44
00:02:49.409 --> 00:02:56.669
own are catty bitches we are pretty pretty much just
45
00:02:56.729 --> 00:03:03.069
total divas and this works really well when there's a
46
00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:07.900
party that we're not wanting to upset we need somebody
47
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.280
to be a little bit firmer than us to keep
48
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.680
us accountable for our actions There needs to be somebody
49
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.090
that we're not wanting to like rock the boat with.
50
00:03:19.169 --> 00:03:21.650
So we're on our best behavior. And I think this
51
00:03:21.750 --> 00:03:25.810
works really well with Olivia. Olivia is so no nonsense,
52
00:03:25.969 --> 00:03:29.009
like no bullshit. And she will be like, you're being
53
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:33.080
annoying right now. Course correct. Correct your behavior. Fix it.
54
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.259
Let's figure it out. We're all very, very strong willed
55
00:03:36.419 --> 00:03:38.879
in what we want to do, which actually ends up
56
00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:42.379
kind of working out for the best because As strong-willed
57
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:47.080
as we all are, we are also all chronic people pleasers,
58
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.539
which I think is maybe the only way that this
59
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.000
works for us is we all want to keep each
60
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.430
other happy, but we also all want to die on
61
00:03:57.490 --> 00:04:01.270
our hill. So we found this really great system of
62
00:04:01.550 --> 00:04:04.229
everyone gets to die on their hill. Some of us
63
00:04:04.270 --> 00:04:07.129
have non-negotiables. When you're going to Disney World, some of
64
00:04:07.189 --> 00:04:10.460
you are in it for different things. For me, for example,
65
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.199
I'm there to drink around the world. That's kind of
66
00:04:13.219 --> 00:04:15.460
my goal. And I want to go on Guardians as
67
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:20.579
many times as humanly possible. Anthony really, really wanted to
68
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.939
go to the sci-fi diner, which none of us really
69
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.829
cared to do. We absolutely will do it. And trust me,
70
00:04:27.870 --> 00:04:31.089
we'll have a blast. But none of us were like
71
00:04:32.069 --> 00:04:34.810
seeking that experience out. That was the hill he was
72
00:04:34.829 --> 00:04:37.089
dying on. So that's the hill we're all dying on.
73
00:04:37.509 --> 00:04:40.290
And he's going to die on our hills. That's kind
74
00:04:40.329 --> 00:04:42.810
of how it has to work. You all have to decide,
75
00:04:43.449 --> 00:04:48.209
we're going to let everyone, boots on the ground, have
76
00:04:48.250 --> 00:04:51.410
their moment. And their thing is their thing, and we're
77
00:04:51.430 --> 00:04:53.569
going to let it happen. One of the big things
78
00:04:53.589 --> 00:04:56.430
that Anthony and the group really wanted to do, I
79
00:04:56.430 --> 00:05:00.189
will say pretty much everyone but me, is Horror Nights
80
00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:03.560
at Universal. And I have been putting off Horror Nights
81
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.290
for years. I have been go to my grave, don't
82
00:05:08.329 --> 00:05:10.410
want to do horror nights. I did not scary farm
83
00:05:10.689 --> 00:05:14.529
when I was in like maybe early high school. My
84
00:05:14.709 --> 00:05:17.519
pregnant aunt who was eight months pregnant had a more
85
00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:20.740
enjoyable time than I did. I don't do well with
86
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.199
fear and with like being scared. I don't do well
87
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.709
with a haunted house. One time I went in a
88
00:05:27.750 --> 00:05:30.970
haunted house at Universal Studios. It wasn't even horror nights
89
00:05:31.029 --> 00:05:33.319
where they like go balls to the wall. It was
90
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:38.889
fully just a isolated, walking dead experience haunted house that
91
00:05:38.930 --> 00:05:41.910
was like year round at the time. I went in
92
00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:43.910
and it happened to be with Lauren and Anthony. We
93
00:05:43.949 --> 00:05:47.060
went to Universal together and Lauren at the time had
94
00:05:47.069 --> 00:05:50.060
a stress fracture in her foot. So she wore her
95
00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:55.829
boot to Universal and we got to use the... wheelchair
96
00:05:55.870 --> 00:05:58.930
lane for like every ride because she was in a boot.
97
00:05:58.970 --> 00:06:01.110
So we all qualified to go with her. So we're
98
00:06:01.129 --> 00:06:04.800
going to get put into the haunted house with the
99
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:10.060
fellow wheelchair lane attendees. So we get in there. The
100
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.920
woman in front of us is in a wheelchair. This
101
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.870
is not working for my needs in a haunted house.
102
00:06:17.290 --> 00:06:20.170
I need to be able to flee. I'm now being
103
00:06:20.250 --> 00:06:23.370
blocked by a woman who's sitting down. I was having
104
00:06:23.389 --> 00:06:25.310
a hard time. I did not want to be there.
105
00:06:25.329 --> 00:06:28.180
I was doing it because, again, I'm a people pleaser.
106
00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:31.300
I'm going to go with the group consensus. This scare
107
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.899
actor jumps out at me. And the woman in front
108
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:39.730
of me is in a wheelchair. And her party, whoever
109
00:06:39.769 --> 00:06:42.709
she was with, who's supposed to be pushing her through,
110
00:06:42.769 --> 00:06:48.149
who's rolling her through the haunted house, starts fleeing. This
111
00:06:48.209 --> 00:06:53.680
ain't going to work for me, sweetheart. I start yelling, go, move, move,
112
00:06:53.860 --> 00:06:57.600
move at the woman in the wheelchair, not fully computing
113
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.660
the fact that this woman's in a wheelchair and I'm
114
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.240
sure she would like to move. I'm sure she would
115
00:07:03.379 --> 00:07:07.889
love to go. Wasn't a personal choice, I don't believe.
116
00:07:08.470 --> 00:07:11.629
So I am screaming at this woman in the wheelchair.
117
00:07:12.269 --> 00:07:14.149
One of the people in her party has to come
118
00:07:14.209 --> 00:07:18.000
running back and push her, wheel her on out. And
119
00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:21.779
I was mortified. They left her in her wheelchair to
120
00:07:22.180 --> 00:07:24.519
go with God. I really wanted to wear one of
121
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:29.639
the don't scare necklaces. My whole group told me no.
122
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.439
They told me I can't do that. I'm absolutely petrified
123
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:38.540
to go to this fucking literal entire theme park full
124
00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:41.300
of horror and they won't even let me wear a
125
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.399
fucking glow stick necklace that says don't scare me. That
126
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:51.040
to me fucked up. It's fucked up behavior. And I
127
00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:56.399
am like genuinely having panic attacks about it leading up
128
00:07:56.420 --> 00:08:00.839
to this fucking trip. I am so nervous. I actively
129
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.139
like may have to take a beta blocker. Like I
130
00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:07.050
really think never in my life have I experimented with
131
00:08:07.089 --> 00:08:10.610
those kinds of drugs. This might be the time that
132
00:08:10.829 --> 00:08:13.509
I'm going to have to break them out because what's
133
00:08:13.550 --> 00:08:18.449
going on? Why are we paying money to be scared.
134
00:08:18.829 --> 00:08:22.310
But again, I've got to go with the group consensus.
135
00:08:22.589 --> 00:08:24.569
They're dying on this hill. I have to die on
136
00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:27.779
it too. And I might literally physically die on it
137
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.740
because they want to. Last time we were there, we
138
00:08:31.459 --> 00:08:34.039
obviously did drink around the world. And to be honest,
139
00:08:34.379 --> 00:08:37.389
I didn't really care about Disney World. I was not
140
00:08:37.409 --> 00:08:39.250
a person who ever felt like they needed to go
141
00:08:39.289 --> 00:08:44.009
to Disney World. But Lauren was doing the college program
142
00:08:44.049 --> 00:08:46.610
at the time. And so she was like, I can
143
00:08:46.629 --> 00:08:50.590
get us like basically free everything. So I wanted to
144
00:08:50.649 --> 00:08:52.820
see Lauren. So I was like, okay, let's go. And
145
00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:57.240
also like, I like Disneyland, but we go, I turned
146
00:08:57.299 --> 00:09:02.649
into a full fucking freak. They had me collecting pins.
147
00:09:02.669 --> 00:09:06.139
I got really into the outfits. I think I just
148
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:12.980
love to assimilate. And there is something to culture. White people,
149
00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:16.139
we don't really have a ton of culture. Disney and
150
00:09:16.179 --> 00:09:20.139
Disney bounding and all those Disney adult things. That kind
151
00:09:20.179 --> 00:09:22.570
of is a culture for us. And it's nice to
152
00:09:22.610 --> 00:09:25.570
feel like you belong to something. So I have a
153
00:09:25.610 --> 00:09:31.659
really good time getting involved in watching the TikToks of
154
00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:34.539
all these people who are obsessed with Disney. I'm not
155
00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:38.159
fully involved in my day-to-day life. It's kind of like
156
00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:41.610
a sleeper agent. It's activated when I get to the parks.
157
00:09:41.909 --> 00:09:45.059
When I'm in the parks, all bets are off. I'm
158
00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:47.559
going to do every ride. I am going to be
159
00:09:47.620 --> 00:09:51.570
on that fucking Disneyland app, planning my day, planning my magic.
160
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:53.669
I'm going to eat the food. I'm going to trade
161
00:09:53.690 --> 00:09:57.429
some pins. I'm going to wear the outfits. When I'm home,
162
00:09:57.450 --> 00:10:01.019
I don't like any Disney bullshit. in my house. I
163
00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:05.299
don't like Disney decor. I don't like really anything. When
164
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.139
I'm out of the parks, I leave the magic there. Okay.
165
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.549
I don't need to bring that home with me. When
166
00:10:10.590 --> 00:10:15.149
we went, I was a little apprehensive and Lauren was like, listen, babe,
167
00:10:15.789 --> 00:10:19.370
worst case you drink around that world. You'll love Disney.
168
00:10:20.029 --> 00:10:24.399
So don't have to tell me twice. We went, oh
169
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.179
my God, it was the most fun literally a person
170
00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:29.480
could ever have in their lives. We were drinking around
171
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.620
the world. I have to say I'm a little bit
172
00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:36.909
nervous because I blacked out in the Disneyland and I'm
173
00:10:36.909 --> 00:10:40.029
40 pounds lighter than I was at this time. So
174
00:10:40.690 --> 00:10:42.409
I don't even think we made it through all the,
175
00:10:42.490 --> 00:10:44.710
I think we missed like one or two countries and
176
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.799
I may go to Disney jail, you guys. I am
177
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.889
like not entirely certain that I won't. Last time when
178
00:10:52.909 --> 00:10:56.049
I got really drunk, we went back to Magic after
179
00:10:56.090 --> 00:11:01.029
because Epcot was closing. I split. I veered off. I
180
00:11:01.090 --> 00:11:05.000
ventured off onto my own journey and I went into
181
00:11:05.009 --> 00:11:08.500
this popcorn store where you build your own popcorn and
182
00:11:08.830 --> 00:11:10.909
And you like pick the toppings. I think I picked
183
00:11:11.129 --> 00:11:14.860
probably every single topping possible. I quite literally spent like
184
00:11:14.860 --> 00:11:17.840
$ 60 on this popcorn. It was so fucking heavy. It
185
00:11:18.059 --> 00:11:23.879
weighed a monstrosity. Oreos, chocolate sauce, gummy bears. I literally
186
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.950
just everything was a yes. They say you want.
187
00:11:27.049 --> 00:11:27.629
Yep. Yep.
188
00:11:28.029 --> 00:11:28.509
Oh, that too.
189
00:11:28.590 --> 00:11:28.750
Yep.
190
00:11:29.389 --> 00:11:31.230
A little more of that. It was like my own
191
00:11:31.269 --> 00:11:31.990
personal Chipotle.
192
00:11:32.009 --> 00:11:32.210
Okay.
193
00:11:32.950 --> 00:11:35.669
And as a drunk person, it was exactly what I needed.
194
00:11:35.970 --> 00:11:39.149
I was alone in this place, no supervision. Finally, Olivia
195
00:11:39.210 --> 00:11:44.070
comes and finds me in this popcornopolis. We somehow venture
196
00:11:44.250 --> 00:11:51.250
off into this private little meeting with Mickey Mouse himself.
197
00:11:51.570 --> 00:11:55.049
He was dressed as a magician and it was just us.
198
00:11:55.289 --> 00:11:57.889
And we got full professional photos taken with Mickey Mouse,
199
00:11:58.250 --> 00:12:00.779
literally the two of us in a private room. at
200
00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:04.519
like 10pm in Magic Kingdom. It was so bizarre. And
201
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:08.039
I only really remember the experience through the pictures that
202
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.399
I have to prove that it happened and the retelling
203
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.139
from Olivia. So that was I'm sure a lot of
204
00:12:15.179 --> 00:12:18.399
fun and glorious can't 100% say because I do not
205
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.419
remember it. But from what I've been told sounds like
206
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:25.360
I had a blast. Quite literally, I was so blacked out.
207
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.840
I fell asleep on the wall in line for the
208
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.299
Peter Pan ride. And then I cried the entire time
209
00:12:33.340 --> 00:12:36.250
we were on the Peter Pan ride because I was
210
00:12:36.289 --> 00:12:38.990
like having a panic attack because I was blocked the
211
00:12:39.129 --> 00:12:45.490
fuck out and flying in the air with Peter Pan. Okay.
212
00:12:46.049 --> 00:12:49.850
Was freaky as hell. This time I'm really excited to
213
00:12:49.889 --> 00:12:52.929
see what I get up to because I know it's
214
00:12:52.970 --> 00:12:55.379
going to be devious behavior. I know I'm going to
215
00:12:55.419 --> 00:12:58.639
spend a bunch of money on some food that's absolute bullshit.
216
00:12:58.700 --> 00:13:01.080
And I'm excited to see what that entails for me.
217
00:13:01.340 --> 00:13:03.379
We decided we're going to film our drinking around the
218
00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:05.769
world because last time we started and then we got
219
00:13:05.929 --> 00:13:09.750
so drunk, we forgot to continue filming. Hopefully we'll have
220
00:13:09.769 --> 00:13:12.200
that little number to share with the world. We also
221
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:16.120
went on Guardians and Tron shit face. And when I
222
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.240
went on Tron, I was laughing so hard. I genuinely
223
00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:23.100
thought I was going to die because I was just
224
00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:28.039
maniacally laughing. It was like I couldn't catch my breath.
225
00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:30.080
And the same thing, honestly, when I was on Guardians,
226
00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:32.799
me and Lauren were like holding hands with our hands
227
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.980
in the air, just belly laughing so hard. That is
228
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:42.320
the kind of euphoria that I imagine people drug addicts feel.
229
00:13:42.740 --> 00:13:46.960
That is kind of what I would assume being on
230
00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:51.000
really crazy drugs is like, but I don't need to
231
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.799
do drugs. I can just get drunk in Disney World
232
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.440
and have the same experience. That's kind of a way
233
00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:01.110
more expensive way to achieve the same results as doing
234
00:14:01.309 --> 00:14:03.809
probably black tar heroin. I know there's a lot of
235
00:14:03.850 --> 00:14:08.350
memes about couples in line at Disneyland and something about
236
00:14:08.389 --> 00:14:10.970
a line gets me going, you know, something about a
237
00:14:11.769 --> 00:14:17.450
line at not particularly, it's not, it's not exclusive to
238
00:14:17.470 --> 00:14:20.870
like an amusement park, but something about waiting in a line,
239
00:14:20.889 --> 00:14:22.970
like my body gets fatigued and I just want to
240
00:14:23.210 --> 00:14:26.370
drape myself over him. I just want to be kind
241
00:14:26.409 --> 00:14:30.559
of like laying atop of him. And, you know, I
242
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.610
understand the memes are there and, and they're funny, but I,
243
00:14:37.289 --> 00:14:41.309
Something about a line. It gets me a little jazzed.
244
00:14:41.870 --> 00:14:44.429
I do think I turned 24 and a lot of
245
00:14:44.460 --> 00:14:47.860
things started making sense. LCD sound system clicked for me
246
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:49.360
and I was all of a sudden like, why am
247
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:52.940
I enjoying this? Before, there were so many things that
248
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.779
didn't make sense. I still don't understand house music. Maybe
249
00:14:56.820 --> 00:15:00.399
that'll be like 26, 27. That'll start to click and
250
00:15:00.450 --> 00:15:03.490
I'll understand it and that'll be like a sign of
251
00:15:03.529 --> 00:15:06.970
the times. But Recently, like, I've been listening to so
252
00:15:06.990 --> 00:15:10.750
much LCD Sound System. That fuck-ass lyric that's like, you
253
00:15:10.769 --> 00:15:13.549
spend the first five years trying to figure it out
254
00:15:13.649 --> 00:15:15.289
and the next five years trying to be with your
255
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.029
friends again.
256
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:17.759
God.
257
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.299
Unfortunately, that's so fucking me right now. Like, I'm just
258
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.279
trying to hang out with my friends again. We literally
259
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:28.620
have this trip planned and we're planning our next trip
260
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.309
for the spring of As we approach this trip. Because
261
00:15:33.490 --> 00:15:36.490
it's just like. I just need to see my friends.
262
00:15:36.850 --> 00:15:39.549
I'm 24 and I miss my friends all the time.
263
00:15:39.570 --> 00:15:42.580
Oh my god. Why is every fucking brand being sold
264
00:15:42.740 --> 00:15:46.740
out to corporate America? Oh good lord. I had Los
265
00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:52.860
Tacos number one. First time. Since they were bought. Last night.
266
00:15:52.879 --> 00:16:01.159
I was fighting demons. For hours. Completely threw off. my
267
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:05.919
Dancing with the Stars time. It was absolutely horrific. I
268
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:11.990
was praying to God. I was counting my breaths, box breathing.
269
00:16:12.649 --> 00:16:14.889
Maybe they haven't even been taken over yet and it's
270
00:16:15.149 --> 00:16:18.289
literally just like a one-off, but they were bought by
271
00:16:18.330 --> 00:16:23.799
private equity and now they're poisoning me. So I don't know,
272
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.710
it feels a little adjacent to me. You'll find a
273
00:16:26.750 --> 00:16:28.950
place and think like, oh my God, like I found
274
00:16:28.990 --> 00:16:32.710
this really cute little one-stop shop. Like I found a
275
00:16:32.730 --> 00:16:35.700
little private place. I found something nobody even knows about.
276
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:37.500
Then you find out it's a chain and then two
277
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:40.149
minutes later, it's bought by private equity. Something I've been
278
00:16:40.169 --> 00:16:43.070
thinking about a lot recently is like nepo friends. I
279
00:16:43.129 --> 00:16:46.889
saw this video of Paloma, who's Sabrina Carpenter's like BFF.
280
00:16:47.230 --> 00:16:49.600
And they asked her like, who's your favorite pop girly?
281
00:16:49.700 --> 00:16:53.580
She obviously answered Sabrina. But I was just thinking about like,
282
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:58.519
if I couldn't listen to Olivia Rodrigo because the subject
283
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:02.440
of her music, at least in the start of her career,
284
00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:05.529
was like my BFF, I would kill myself. I'd be
285
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:09.420
so pissed. I'd be like, I'm so sorry. I love you, Lauren,
286
00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:14.569
but I got to listen to Olivia. I'm loving you.
287
00:17:15.069 --> 00:17:19.289
I'm sending you all the love in the world, but
288
00:17:19.349 --> 00:17:22.529
I got to listen to Olivia Rodrigo. I don't know.
289
00:17:22.549 --> 00:17:27.690
There's just something about being a nepo friend that really
290
00:17:27.869 --> 00:17:32.990
inhibits you from actually indulging in media in a way
291
00:17:33.029 --> 00:17:35.589
that I need to indulge in media. Even like with
292
00:17:35.650 --> 00:17:39.410
my perspective and like my family, like I have a
293
00:17:39.430 --> 00:17:43.559
distorted view of entertainment and media, but if it was
294
00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:48.190
my best friend and I had to like fight their
295
00:17:48.230 --> 00:17:51.640
battles with them like if their ex was like timothy
296
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:56.759
chalamet like whoever is like joey king's best friend like
297
00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:59.180
we can't sit here and talk about how we want
298
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:03.289
to climb jacob lordy like a tree that's not on
299
00:18:03.309 --> 00:18:07.210
the table for our friendship like that sucks really bad
300
00:18:07.890 --> 00:18:10.250
and i just really feel for those people it's like
301
00:18:10.549 --> 00:18:12.859
you don't get to indulge in all of the different
302
00:18:12.950 --> 00:18:16.539
wonders of entertainment in the way that most of us do.
303
00:18:16.619 --> 00:18:17.880
And I think we should have a little bit more
304
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.960
compassion and respect for the Nepo friends because they're out
305
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:24.109
here fighting battles that they're not even reaping the rewards of.
306
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.829
All right, you guys, it is time for another bedbug
307
00:18:26.869 --> 00:18:31.769
of the week. I want to talk about bad posture
308
00:18:32.769 --> 00:18:37.880
because why are we attacking the people with bad posture
309
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.970
like it is a fatal flaw? We are slaughtering people's
310
00:18:43.089 --> 00:18:47.349
character based off of if they sit up straight. And
311
00:18:47.390 --> 00:18:51.430
I think it's ridiculous. I am a person who is
312
00:18:51.670 --> 00:18:54.460
absolutely going to have a hunch on her back. I
313
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:58.099
am starting to accept it because it is the cross
314
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:03.700
I bear. I sit hunched over. It's how I'm comfortable.
315
00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:07.319
And I think everyone has this really big stick up
316
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.750
their ass recently about getting better posture and And I
317
00:19:11.869 --> 00:19:14.230
was on the wavelength for a minute and I realized
318
00:19:14.269 --> 00:19:16.730
that it was a psyop. I realized that I was
319
00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:19.579
being conditioned by TikTok to buy another product to help
320
00:19:19.619 --> 00:19:21.700
me sit up straight. I think what I need to
321
00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:23.799
do is start getting my body moving. I need to
322
00:19:23.819 --> 00:19:26.539
focus on mobility. I need to focus on doing things
323
00:19:26.819 --> 00:19:30.180
that excites my body and my mind. I don't think
324
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:32.680
I need to wear a posture corrector while I'm working
325
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.920
from my desk all day and then wonder why my
326
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.700
back hurts. I think we all need to focus on
327
00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:42.819
the basics here. My body is like going to deteriorate
328
00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:48.410
because I don't get outside and walk around enough. Let
329
00:19:48.430 --> 00:19:50.980
me focus on that. Let me focus. on that before
330
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.740
I start focusing on like my shoulders and such I'm
331
00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:55.779
a side sleeper I sleep with my arms in front
332
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.200
of me my arms are in front of me on
333
00:19:57.220 --> 00:19:58.779
my computer my arms are in front of me on
334
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.269
my phone pretty much everything I do my arms are
335
00:20:01.289 --> 00:20:03.410
in front of me so my back is a little
336
00:20:03.509 --> 00:20:06.730
stretched forward my shoulders are a little hunched would I
337
00:20:06.950 --> 00:20:10.390
love to expand them yes But I'm killing myself. I'm
338
00:20:10.450 --> 00:20:12.710
killing myself in public trying to remind myself to sit
339
00:20:12.750 --> 00:20:17.470
up straight. Use your core. Engage that core. Use those abs.
340
00:20:17.490 --> 00:20:20.150
I can't do it anymore. I need us to come
341
00:20:20.190 --> 00:20:22.839
to a really honest truth. It is okay and it
342
00:20:22.890 --> 00:20:25.390
doesn't reflect poorly on you as a person and your
343
00:20:25.430 --> 00:20:30.799
personality if you have bad posture. Stop demonizing bad posture.
344
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:34.420
Technic does not mean that you are the devil reincarnate.
345
00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:38.660
It just means you work on a fucking computer, okay?
346
00:20:39.450 --> 00:20:43.299
I have bad posture. It's okay. The world will keep
347
00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:46.500
fucking spinning and I can have a heart of gold
348
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.680
and a spine that's curved. Let it happen.
349
00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:50.740
All right.
350
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.579
I know this was probably a little short episode, but
351
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.119
I have to go pack for Disney World and I
352
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:57.559
need to know what shorts I'm going to wear when
353
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.859
I black out. So I have to skedaddle. But thank
354
00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:03.680
you so much for listening to another episode. I will
355
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.400
be back next week with, I'm sure, a slew of
356
00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:09.369
drunken stories to tell. I hope you enjoyed and in
357
00:21:09.410 --> 00:21:12.230
the meantime, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.
358
00:21:13.230 --> 00:21:14.339
Good night.
1
00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:00.930
Well, hello there.
2
00:00:00.970 --> 00:00:03.950
Welcome back to Bed Bugs Podcast. I'm your host, Alison Bryan.
3
00:00:04.129 --> 00:00:14.560
Let's lay in bed and talk about what's bugging us.
4
00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:17.269
I am going to be in Disney World this weekend.
5
00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.769
I am going to Disney World with my best friend
6
00:00:20.949 --> 00:00:23.429
and her sister and my cousin, and we are going
7
00:00:23.469 --> 00:00:28.190
to have the time of our lives blacking out across
8
00:00:28.230 --> 00:00:31.320
the world. We went to Disney World a few years
9
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.719
ago and it was just the most fun I've ever
10
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.700
had maybe in my whole life. Since that trip happened,
11
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.630
we have not stopped thinking about wanting to go back.
12
00:00:43.549 --> 00:00:46.310
And last year we were trying to plan it and
13
00:00:46.390 --> 00:00:51.359
it's just so hard to plan group trips in your 20s.
14
00:00:51.409 --> 00:00:55.549
Like a group trip with your friends at this age,
15
00:00:56.170 --> 00:01:00.579
not only... crucial to the plot but also probably one
16
00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:04.180
of the hardest things you could possibly accomplish Olivia is
17
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.359
still in school she's still in college and the rest
18
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.719
of us have like adult grown-up jobs so it's just
19
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.299
kind of this weird limbo we're old now things are
20
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.019
getting serious for us and we have to make real
21
00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:22.819
real strides to hang out um me and Lauren and
22
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.969
Olivia used to literally just like go to the movies
23
00:01:26.150 --> 00:01:29.090
after school every day. And that is no longer our lives.
24
00:01:29.209 --> 00:01:33.390
We have to like actively coordinate spending time with one another.
25
00:01:33.409 --> 00:01:39.769
The group dynamic I think is absolutely crucial to if
26
00:01:39.969 --> 00:01:43.769
a group trip works or is a flop. I have
27
00:01:43.829 --> 00:01:47.819
a firm, firm belief that you need to hold each
28
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.180
other accountable. It needs to be a group. that has
29
00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:53.980
yin and yang. We have found a group dynamic that
30
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:58.540
keeps everyone in check. Everyone should be a little nervous
31
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:02.359
and have a little bit of fear from at least
32
00:02:02.750 --> 00:02:05.709
one other party or else it kind of can go
33
00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:08.430
to shit really, really quickly. I went on a group
34
00:02:08.449 --> 00:02:12.610
trip one time with my cousin Anthony that was one
35
00:02:12.949 --> 00:02:18.210
of the worst times maybe in my entire life. And
36
00:02:18.219 --> 00:02:21.469
I have been on a mission since that time. Granted,
37
00:02:21.490 --> 00:02:25.530
I was 17 years old, 16, 17 years old. So
38
00:02:25.990 --> 00:02:29.710
a child, but it was horrible. Like we had a
39
00:02:29.750 --> 00:02:34.490
really bad time. Since that trip, we have sought out
40
00:02:34.569 --> 00:02:39.849
to make every group trip foolproof. You can't start throwing
41
00:02:39.909 --> 00:02:43.129
in mixed variables. And we found something that really, really
42
00:02:43.169 --> 00:02:45.060
works for us. And I don't think any of us
43
00:02:45.889 --> 00:02:49.069
want to give that up anthony and i on our
44
00:02:49.409 --> 00:02:56.669
own are catty bitches we are pretty pretty much just
45
00:02:56.729 --> 00:03:03.069
total divas and this works really well when there's a
46
00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:07.900
party that we're not wanting to upset we need somebody
47
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.280
to be a little bit firmer than us to keep
48
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.680
us accountable for our actions There needs to be somebody
49
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.090
that we're not wanting to like rock the boat with.
50
00:03:19.169 --> 00:03:21.650
So we're on our best behavior. And I think this
51
00:03:21.750 --> 00:03:25.810
works really well with Olivia. Olivia is so no nonsense,
52
00:03:25.969 --> 00:03:29.009
like no bullshit. And she will be like, you're being
53
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:33.080
annoying right now. Course correct. Correct your behavior. Fix it.
54
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.259
Let's figure it out. We're all very, very strong willed
55
00:03:36.419 --> 00:03:38.879
in what we want to do, which actually ends up
56
00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:42.379
kind of working out for the best because As strong-willed
57
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:47.080
as we all are, we are also all chronic people pleasers,
58
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.539
which I think is maybe the only way that this
59
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.000
works for us is we all want to keep each
60
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.430
other happy, but we also all want to die on
61
00:03:57.490 --> 00:04:01.270
our hill. So we found this really great system of
62
00:04:01.550 --> 00:04:04.229
everyone gets to die on their hill. Some of us
63
00:04:04.270 --> 00:04:07.129
have non-negotiables. When you're going to Disney World, some of
64
00:04:07.189 --> 00:04:10.460
you are in it for different things. For me, for example,
65
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.199
I'm there to drink around the world. That's kind of
66
00:04:13.219 --> 00:04:15.460
my goal. And I want to go on Guardians as
67
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:20.579
many times as humanly possible. Anthony really, really wanted to
68
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.939
go to the sci-fi diner, which none of us really
69
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.829
cared to do. We absolutely will do it. And trust me,
70
00:04:27.870 --> 00:04:31.089
we'll have a blast. But none of us were like
71
00:04:32.069 --> 00:04:34.810
seeking that experience out. That was the hill he was
72
00:04:34.829 --> 00:04:37.089
dying on. So that's the hill we're all dying on.
73
00:04:37.509 --> 00:04:40.290
And he's going to die on our hills. That's kind
74
00:04:40.329 --> 00:04:42.810
of how it has to work. You all have to decide,
75
00:04:43.449 --> 00:04:48.209
we're going to let everyone, boots on the ground, have
76
00:04:48.250 --> 00:04:51.410
their moment. And their thing is their thing, and we're
77
00:04:51.430 --> 00:04:53.569
going to let it happen. One of the big things
78
00:04:53.589 --> 00:04:56.430
that Anthony and the group really wanted to do, I
79
00:04:56.430 --> 00:05:00.189
will say pretty much everyone but me, is Horror Nights
80
00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:03.560
at Universal. And I have been putting off Horror Nights
81
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.290
for years. I have been go to my grave, don't
82
00:05:08.329 --> 00:05:10.410
want to do horror nights. I did not scary farm
83
00:05:10.689 --> 00:05:14.529
when I was in like maybe early high school. My
84
00:05:14.709 --> 00:05:17.519
pregnant aunt who was eight months pregnant had a more
85
00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:20.740
enjoyable time than I did. I don't do well with
86
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.199
fear and with like being scared. I don't do well
87
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.709
with a haunted house. One time I went in a
88
00:05:27.750 --> 00:05:30.970
haunted house at Universal Studios. It wasn't even horror nights
89
00:05:31.029 --> 00:05:33.319
where they like go balls to the wall. It was
90
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:38.889
fully just a isolated, walking dead experience haunted house that
91
00:05:38.930 --> 00:05:41.910
was like year round at the time. I went in
92
00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:43.910
and it happened to be with Lauren and Anthony. We
93
00:05:43.949 --> 00:05:47.060
went to Universal together and Lauren at the time had
94
00:05:47.069 --> 00:05:50.060
a stress fracture in her foot. So she wore her
95
00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:55.829
boot to Universal and we got to use the... wheelchair
96
00:05:55.870 --> 00:05:58.930
lane for like every ride because she was in a boot.
97
00:05:58.970 --> 00:06:01.110
So we all qualified to go with her. So we're
98
00:06:01.129 --> 00:06:04.800
going to get put into the haunted house with the
99
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:10.060
fellow wheelchair lane attendees. So we get in there. The
100
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.920
woman in front of us is in a wheelchair. This
101
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.870
is not working for my needs in a haunted house.
102
00:06:17.290 --> 00:06:20.170
I need to be able to flee. I'm now being
103
00:06:20.250 --> 00:06:23.370
blocked by a woman who's sitting down. I was having
104
00:06:23.389 --> 00:06:25.310
a hard time. I did not want to be there.
105
00:06:25.329 --> 00:06:28.180
I was doing it because, again, I'm a people pleaser.
106
00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:31.300
I'm going to go with the group consensus. This scare
107
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.899
actor jumps out at me. And the woman in front
108
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:39.730
of me is in a wheelchair. And her party, whoever
109
00:06:39.769 --> 00:06:42.709
she was with, who's supposed to be pushing her through,
110
00:06:42.769 --> 00:06:48.149
who's rolling her through the haunted house, starts fleeing. This
111
00:06:48.209 --> 00:06:53.680
ain't going to work for me, sweetheart. I start yelling, go, move, move,
112
00:06:53.860 --> 00:06:57.600
move at the woman in the wheelchair, not fully computing
113
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.660
the fact that this woman's in a wheelchair and I'm
114
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.240
sure she would like to move. I'm sure she would
115
00:07:03.379 --> 00:07:07.889
love to go. Wasn't a personal choice, I don't believe.
116
00:07:08.470 --> 00:07:11.629
So I am screaming at this woman in the wheelchair.
117
00:07:12.269 --> 00:07:14.149
One of the people in her party has to come
118
00:07:14.209 --> 00:07:18.000
running back and push her, wheel her on out. And
119
00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:21.779
I was mortified. They left her in her wheelchair to
120
00:07:22.180 --> 00:07:24.519
go with God. I really wanted to wear one of
121
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:29.639
the don't scare necklaces. My whole group told me no.
122
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.439
They told me I can't do that. I'm absolutely petrified
123
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:38.540
to go to this fucking literal entire theme park full
124
00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:41.300
of horror and they won't even let me wear a
125
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.399
fucking glow stick necklace that says don't scare me. That
126
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:51.040
to me fucked up. It's fucked up behavior. And I
127
00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:56.399
am like genuinely having panic attacks about it leading up
128
00:07:56.420 --> 00:08:00.839
to this fucking trip. I am so nervous. I actively
129
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.139
like may have to take a beta blocker. Like I
130
00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:07.050
really think never in my life have I experimented with
131
00:08:07.089 --> 00:08:10.610
those kinds of drugs. This might be the time that
132
00:08:10.829 --> 00:08:13.509
I'm going to have to break them out because what's
133
00:08:13.550 --> 00:08:18.449
going on? Why are we paying money to be scared.
134
00:08:18.829 --> 00:08:22.310
But again, I've got to go with the group consensus.
135
00:08:22.589 --> 00:08:24.569
They're dying on this hill. I have to die on
136
00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:27.779
it too. And I might literally physically die on it
137
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.740
because they want to. Last time we were there, we
138
00:08:31.459 --> 00:08:34.039
obviously did drink around the world. And to be honest,
139
00:08:34.379 --> 00:08:37.389
I didn't really care about Disney World. I was not
140
00:08:37.409 --> 00:08:39.250
a person who ever felt like they needed to go
141
00:08:39.289 --> 00:08:44.009
to Disney World. But Lauren was doing the college program
142
00:08:44.049 --> 00:08:46.610
at the time. And so she was like, I can
143
00:08:46.629 --> 00:08:50.590
get us like basically free everything. So I wanted to
144
00:08:50.649 --> 00:08:52.820
see Lauren. So I was like, okay, let's go. And
145
00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:57.240
also like, I like Disneyland, but we go, I turned
146
00:08:57.299 --> 00:09:02.649
into a full fucking freak. They had me collecting pins.
147
00:09:02.669 --> 00:09:06.139
I got really into the outfits. I think I just
148
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:12.980
love to assimilate. And there is something to culture. White people,
149
00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:16.139
we don't really have a ton of culture. Disney and
150
00:09:16.179 --> 00:09:20.139
Disney bounding and all those Disney adult things. That kind
151
00:09:20.179 --> 00:09:22.570
of is a culture for us. And it's nice to
152
00:09:22.610 --> 00:09:25.570
feel like you belong to something. So I have a
153
00:09:25.610 --> 00:09:31.659
really good time getting involved in watching the TikToks of
154
00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:34.539
all these people who are obsessed with Disney. I'm not
155
00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:38.159
fully involved in my day-to-day life. It's kind of like
156
00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:41.610
a sleeper agent. It's activated when I get to the parks.
157
00:09:41.909 --> 00:09:45.059
When I'm in the parks, all bets are off. I'm
158
00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:47.559
going to do every ride. I am going to be
159
00:09:47.620 --> 00:09:51.570
on that fucking Disneyland app, planning my day, planning my magic.
160
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:53.669
I'm going to eat the food. I'm going to trade
161
00:09:53.690 --> 00:09:57.429
some pins. I'm going to wear the outfits. When I'm home,
162
00:09:57.450 --> 00:10:01.019
I don't like any Disney bullshit. in my house. I
163
00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:05.299
don't like Disney decor. I don't like really anything. When
164
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.139
I'm out of the parks, I leave the magic there. Okay.
165
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.549
I don't need to bring that home with me. When
166
00:10:10.590 --> 00:10:15.149
we went, I was a little apprehensive and Lauren was like, listen, babe,
167
00:10:15.789 --> 00:10:19.370
worst case you drink around that world. You'll love Disney.
168
00:10:20.029 --> 00:10:24.399
So don't have to tell me twice. We went, oh
169
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.179
my God, it was the most fun literally a person
170
00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:29.480
could ever have in their lives. We were drinking around
171
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.620
the world. I have to say I'm a little bit
172
00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:36.909
nervous because I blacked out in the Disneyland and I'm
173
00:10:36.909 --> 00:10:40.029
40 pounds lighter than I was at this time. So
174
00:10:40.690 --> 00:10:42.409
I don't even think we made it through all the,
175
00:10:42.490 --> 00:10:44.710
I think we missed like one or two countries and
176
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.799
I may go to Disney jail, you guys. I am
177
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.889
like not entirely certain that I won't. Last time when
178
00:10:52.909 --> 00:10:56.049
I got really drunk, we went back to Magic after
179
00:10:56.090 --> 00:11:01.029
because Epcot was closing. I split. I veered off. I
180
00:11:01.090 --> 00:11:05.000
ventured off onto my own journey and I went into
181
00:11:05.009 --> 00:11:08.500
this popcorn store where you build your own popcorn and
182
00:11:08.830 --> 00:11:10.909
And you like pick the toppings. I think I picked
183
00:11:11.129 --> 00:11:14.860
probably every single topping possible. I quite literally spent like
184
00:11:14.860 --> 00:11:17.840
$ 60 on this popcorn. It was so fucking heavy. It
185
00:11:18.059 --> 00:11:23.879
weighed a monstrosity. Oreos, chocolate sauce, gummy bears. I literally
186
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.950
just everything was a yes. They say you want.
187
00:11:27.049 --> 00:11:27.629
Yep. Yep.
188
00:11:28.029 --> 00:11:28.509
Oh, that too.
189
00:11:28.590 --> 00:11:28.750
Yep.
190
00:11:29.389 --> 00:11:31.230
A little more of that. It was like my own
191
00:11:31.269 --> 00:11:31.990
personal Chipotle.
192
00:11:32.009 --> 00:11:32.210
Okay.
193
00:11:32.950 --> 00:11:35.669
And as a drunk person, it was exactly what I needed.
194
00:11:35.970 --> 00:11:39.149
I was alone in this place, no supervision. Finally, Olivia
195
00:11:39.210 --> 00:11:44.070
comes and finds me in this popcornopolis. We somehow venture
196
00:11:44.250 --> 00:11:51.250
off into this private little meeting with Mickey Mouse himself.
197
00:11:51.570 --> 00:11:55.049
He was dressed as a magician and it was just us.
198
00:11:55.289 --> 00:11:57.889
And we got full professional photos taken with Mickey Mouse,
199
00:11:58.250 --> 00:12:00.779
literally the two of us in a private room. at
200
00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:04.519
like 10pm in Magic Kingdom. It was so bizarre. And
201
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:08.039
I only really remember the experience through the pictures that
202
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.399
I have to prove that it happened and the retelling
203
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.139
from Olivia. So that was I'm sure a lot of
204
00:12:15.179 --> 00:12:18.399
fun and glorious can't 100% say because I do not
205
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.419
remember it. But from what I've been told sounds like
206
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:25.360
I had a blast. Quite literally, I was so blacked out.
207
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.840
I fell asleep on the wall in line for the
208
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.299
Peter Pan ride. And then I cried the entire time
209
00:12:33.340 --> 00:12:36.250
we were on the Peter Pan ride because I was
210
00:12:36.289 --> 00:12:38.990
like having a panic attack because I was blocked the
211
00:12:39.129 --> 00:12:45.490
fuck out and flying in the air with Peter Pan. Okay.
212
00:12:46.049 --> 00:12:49.850
Was freaky as hell. This time I'm really excited to
213
00:12:49.889 --> 00:12:52.929
see what I get up to because I know it's
214
00:12:52.970 --> 00:12:55.379
going to be devious behavior. I know I'm going to
215
00:12:55.419 --> 00:12:58.639
spend a bunch of money on some food that's absolute bullshit.
216
00:12:58.700 --> 00:13:01.080
And I'm excited to see what that entails for me.
217
00:13:01.340 --> 00:13:03.379
We decided we're going to film our drinking around the
218
00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:05.769
world because last time we started and then we got
219
00:13:05.929 --> 00:13:09.750
so drunk, we forgot to continue filming. Hopefully we'll have
220
00:13:09.769 --> 00:13:12.200
that little number to share with the world. We also
221
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:16.120
went on Guardians and Tron shit face. And when I
222
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.240
went on Tron, I was laughing so hard. I genuinely
223
00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:23.100
thought I was going to die because I was just
224
00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:28.039
maniacally laughing. It was like I couldn't catch my breath.
225
00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:30.080
And the same thing, honestly, when I was on Guardians,
226
00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:32.799
me and Lauren were like holding hands with our hands
227
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.980
in the air, just belly laughing so hard. That is
228
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:42.320
the kind of euphoria that I imagine people drug addicts feel.
229
00:13:42.740 --> 00:13:46.960
That is kind of what I would assume being on
230
00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:51.000
really crazy drugs is like, but I don't need to
231
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.799
do drugs. I can just get drunk in Disney World
232
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.440
and have the same experience. That's kind of a way
233
00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:01.110
more expensive way to achieve the same results as doing
234
00:14:01.309 --> 00:14:03.809
probably black tar heroin. I know there's a lot of
235
00:14:03.850 --> 00:14:08.350
memes about couples in line at Disneyland and something about
236
00:14:08.389 --> 00:14:10.970
a line gets me going, you know, something about a
237
00:14:11.769 --> 00:14:17.450
line at not particularly, it's not, it's not exclusive to
238
00:14:17.470 --> 00:14:20.870
like an amusement park, but something about waiting in a line,
239
00:14:20.889 --> 00:14:22.970
like my body gets fatigued and I just want to
240
00:14:23.210 --> 00:14:26.370
drape myself over him. I just want to be kind
241
00:14:26.409 --> 00:14:30.559
of like laying atop of him. And, you know, I
242
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.610
understand the memes are there and, and they're funny, but I,
243
00:14:37.289 --> 00:14:41.309
Something about a line. It gets me a little jazzed.
244
00:14:41.870 --> 00:14:44.429
I do think I turned 24 and a lot of
245
00:14:44.460 --> 00:14:47.860
things started making sense. LCD sound system clicked for me
246
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:49.360
and I was all of a sudden like, why am
247
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:52.940
I enjoying this? Before, there were so many things that
248
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.779
didn't make sense. I still don't understand house music. Maybe
249
00:14:56.820 --> 00:15:00.399
that'll be like 26, 27. That'll start to click and
250
00:15:00.450 --> 00:15:03.490
I'll understand it and that'll be like a sign of
251
00:15:03.529 --> 00:15:06.970
the times. But Recently, like, I've been listening to so
252
00:15:06.990 --> 00:15:10.750
much LCD Sound System. That fuck-ass lyric that's like, you
253
00:15:10.769 --> 00:15:13.549
spend the first five years trying to figure it out
254
00:15:13.649 --> 00:15:15.289
and the next five years trying to be with your
255
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.029
friends again.
256
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:17.759
God.
257
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.299
Unfortunately, that's so fucking me right now. Like, I'm just
258
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.279
trying to hang out with my friends again. We literally
259
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:28.620
have this trip planned and we're planning our next trip
260
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.309
for the spring of As we approach this trip. Because
261
00:15:33.490 --> 00:15:36.490
it's just like. I just need to see my friends.
262
00:15:36.850 --> 00:15:39.549
I'm 24 and I miss my friends all the time.
263
00:15:39.570 --> 00:15:42.580
Oh my god. Why is every fucking brand being sold
264
00:15:42.740 --> 00:15:46.740
out to corporate America? Oh good lord. I had Los
265
00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:52.860
Tacos number one. First time. Since they were bought. Last night.
266
00:15:52.879 --> 00:16:01.159
I was fighting demons. For hours. Completely threw off. my
267
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:05.919
Dancing with the Stars time. It was absolutely horrific. I
268
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:11.990
was praying to God. I was counting my breaths, box breathing.
269
00:16:12.649 --> 00:16:14.889
Maybe they haven't even been taken over yet and it's
270
00:16:15.149 --> 00:16:18.289
literally just like a one-off, but they were bought by
271
00:16:18.330 --> 00:16:23.799
private equity and now they're poisoning me. So I don't know,
272
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.710
it feels a little adjacent to me. You'll find a
273
00:16:26.750 --> 00:16:28.950
place and think like, oh my God, like I found
274
00:16:28.990 --> 00:16:32.710
this really cute little one-stop shop. Like I found a
275
00:16:32.730 --> 00:16:35.700
little private place. I found something nobody even knows about.
276
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:37.500
Then you find out it's a chain and then two
277
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:40.149
minutes later, it's bought by private equity. Something I've been
278
00:16:40.169 --> 00:16:43.070
thinking about a lot recently is like nepo friends. I
279
00:16:43.129 --> 00:16:46.889
saw this video of Paloma, who's Sabrina Carpenter's like BFF.
280
00:16:47.230 --> 00:16:49.600
And they asked her like, who's your favorite pop girly?
281
00:16:49.700 --> 00:16:53.580
She obviously answered Sabrina. But I was just thinking about like,
282
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:58.519
if I couldn't listen to Olivia Rodrigo because the subject
283
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:02.440
of her music, at least in the start of her career,
284
00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:05.529
was like my BFF, I would kill myself. I'd be
285
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:09.420
so pissed. I'd be like, I'm so sorry. I love you, Lauren,
286
00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:14.569
but I got to listen to Olivia. I'm loving you.
287
00:17:15.069 --> 00:17:19.289
I'm sending you all the love in the world, but
288
00:17:19.349 --> 00:17:22.529
I got to listen to Olivia Rodrigo. I don't know.
289
00:17:22.549 --> 00:17:27.690
There's just something about being a nepo friend that really
290
00:17:27.869 --> 00:17:32.990
inhibits you from actually indulging in media in a way
291
00:17:33.029 --> 00:17:35.589
that I need to indulge in media. Even like with
292
00:17:35.650 --> 00:17:39.410
my perspective and like my family, like I have a
293
00:17:39.430 --> 00:17:43.559
distorted view of entertainment and media, but if it was
294
00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:48.190
my best friend and I had to like fight their
295
00:17:48.230 --> 00:17:51.640
battles with them like if their ex was like timothy
296
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:56.759
chalamet like whoever is like joey king's best friend like
297
00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:59.180
we can't sit here and talk about how we want
298
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:03.289
to climb jacob lordy like a tree that's not on
299
00:18:03.309 --> 00:18:07.210
the table for our friendship like that sucks really bad
300
00:18:07.890 --> 00:18:10.250
and i just really feel for those people it's like
301
00:18:10.549 --> 00:18:12.859
you don't get to indulge in all of the different
302
00:18:12.950 --> 00:18:16.539
wonders of entertainment in the way that most of us do.
303
00:18:16.619 --> 00:18:17.880
And I think we should have a little bit more
304
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.960
compassion and respect for the Nepo friends because they're out
305
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:24.109
here fighting battles that they're not even reaping the rewards of.
306
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.829
All right, you guys, it is time for another bedbug
307
00:18:26.869 --> 00:18:31.769
of the week. I want to talk about bad posture
308
00:18:32.769 --> 00:18:37.880
because why are we attacking the people with bad posture
309
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.970
like it is a fatal flaw? We are slaughtering people's
310
00:18:43.089 --> 00:18:47.349
character based off of if they sit up straight. And
311
00:18:47.390 --> 00:18:51.430
I think it's ridiculous. I am a person who is
312
00:18:51.670 --> 00:18:54.460
absolutely going to have a hunch on her back. I
313
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:58.099
am starting to accept it because it is the cross
314
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:03.700
I bear. I sit hunched over. It's how I'm comfortable.
315
00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:07.319
And I think everyone has this really big stick up
316
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.750
their ass recently about getting better posture and And I
317
00:19:11.869 --> 00:19:14.230
was on the wavelength for a minute and I realized
318
00:19:14.269 --> 00:19:16.730
that it was a psyop. I realized that I was
319
00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:19.579
being conditioned by TikTok to buy another product to help
320
00:19:19.619 --> 00:19:21.700
me sit up straight. I think what I need to
321
00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:23.799
do is start getting my body moving. I need to
322
00:19:23.819 --> 00:19:26.539
focus on mobility. I need to focus on doing things
323
00:19:26.819 --> 00:19:30.180
that excites my body and my mind. I don't think
324
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:32.680
I need to wear a posture corrector while I'm working
325
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.920
from my desk all day and then wonder why my
326
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.700
back hurts. I think we all need to focus on
327
00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:42.819
the basics here. My body is like going to deteriorate
328
00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:48.410
because I don't get outside and walk around enough. Let
329
00:19:48.430 --> 00:19:50.980
me focus on that. Let me focus. on that before
330
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.740
I start focusing on like my shoulders and such I'm
331
00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:55.779
a side sleeper I sleep with my arms in front
332
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.200
of me my arms are in front of me on
333
00:19:57.220 --> 00:19:58.779
my computer my arms are in front of me on
334
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.269
my phone pretty much everything I do my arms are
335
00:20:01.289 --> 00:20:03.410
in front of me so my back is a little
336
00:20:03.509 --> 00:20:06.730
stretched forward my shoulders are a little hunched would I
337
00:20:06.950 --> 00:20:10.390
love to expand them yes But I'm killing myself. I'm
338
00:20:10.450 --> 00:20:12.710
killing myself in public trying to remind myself to sit
339
00:20:12.750 --> 00:20:17.470
up straight. Use your core. Engage that core. Use those abs.
340
00:20:17.490 --> 00:20:20.150
I can't do it anymore. I need us to come
341
00:20:20.190 --> 00:20:22.839
to a really honest truth. It is okay and it
342
00:20:22.890 --> 00:20:25.390
doesn't reflect poorly on you as a person and your
343
00:20:25.430 --> 00:20:30.799
personality if you have bad posture. Stop demonizing bad posture.
344
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:34.420
Technic does not mean that you are the devil reincarnate.
345
00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:38.660
It just means you work on a fucking computer, okay?
346
00:20:39.450 --> 00:20:43.299
I have bad posture. It's okay. The world will keep
347
00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:46.500
fucking spinning and I can have a heart of gold
348
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.680
and a spine that's curved. Let it happen.
349
00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:50.740
All right.
350
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.579
I know this was probably a little short episode, but
351
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.119
I have to go pack for Disney World and I
352
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:57.559
need to know what shorts I'm going to wear when
353
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.859
I black out. So I have to skedaddle. But thank
354
00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:03.680
you so much for listening to another episode. I will
355
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.400
be back next week with, I'm sure, a slew of
356
00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:09.369
drunken stories to tell. I hope you enjoyed and in
357
00:21:09.410 --> 00:21:12.230
the meantime, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.
358
00:21:13.230 --> 00:21:14.339
Good night.
