Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: I was like, I saw the travel. So I know the refs saw the travel. But yeah. Yes. There was some
Chloe Hartman: It was so funny. Yeah. But we had a great section and like I think there was I think it was a bachelorette party of some women like in a group. Yes. It was
Natalie: Some reunion behind us. Something women loving women, I think. So, yeah.
Chloe Hartman: and I was like, honestly, that's dope.
Natalie: It was funny though 'cause I was listening while you were off probably procuring either our concessions and or giving a hug to the security guy. I was all I was
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: listening to the girls behind us. They were older than us, probably not by much, probably mid thirties, and
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: so they and it did seem as though it was some kind of reunion bachelorette situation. And
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: one of them was trying to g convince the other that she would have the that the one she was talking to would have been able to play at the WNBA level and the girl was like, No, I wouldn't have. No. And she was
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: like, I didn't even play at the college level. And the other one said, Yeah, but you definitely could've. And she said, Well, I had the power, but I don't have the handles these girls have, and I didn't have the speed. And she listed all the reasons she couldn't, and the other girl just didn't believe her. And I thought that the one she was talking to had very good handle on an awareness of of of her talent. And the other she the other girl was
Chloe Hartman: Pop off.
Natalie: like, Yeah. She was just like like no you could have
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: played in the WNBA and she's like obviously not because I'm not so
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, right, right, right, yeah. yeah, no, that was so much fun. We did. That was so much fun. Almost got a dolly flash
Natalie: And then we Yeah, and then we went out dancing and that was a lot of fun. Yeah. And then
Chloe Hartman: chat. I didn't though, don't worry guys.
Natalie: The words that Chloe just said were Dolly Flash Tat. What
Chloe Hartman: Yes.
Natalie: I heard, so listeners, I want to clarify for you, because what I heard was Dolly flashed at. Like a dolly almost flashed you. And so

Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: a Dolly Parton themed flash tattoo. R. I p Dolly. What a woman. What a woman.
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm. what a woman let's just take a minute, everyone.
Natalie: Take a moment of silence for the queen herself. I mean I mean for real. Like I we both actually stopped. She's just I mean, Dolly Parton.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, no, actually, you know, maybe someday not maybe someday, maybe we'll ad we'll talk more on that, but yeah, RIP to the Queen. I know. We do.
Natalie: Yeah. We don't have time. We gave ourselves a we gave ourselves a time limit and we did not include talking about Dolly's legacy within today's episode rundown.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, because I think that's that might be an episode in and of itself.
Natalie: Yeah, so yeah, just some dolly thoughts. We got distracted. We
Chloe Hartman: Where were we? We went dancing, we
Natalie: went dancing, you almost got a tattoo but didn't. And then
Chloe Hartman: Correct.
Natalie: we went home and passed out because it was one in the morning at that point. That is
Chloe Hartman: Ya
Natalie: the hardest I've gone in a very long time. And so
Chloe Hartman: yeah. Yeah. And I if I'm gonna be honest with you guys, I am I feel like my like I I am still recovering mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically. And I think that's all the things I'm recovering. Like I have not gone to bed at a decent time. in the past week. so that yeah, there's that. so yeah, and then yeah, we passed out Monday, we sped clean cleaned our Airbnb and like literally within an hour, w yeah,
Natalie: We were swimming in time. Yeah.
Chloe Hartman: we worked best on a deadline and that was very much proof of that.
Natalie: It we had to be out of our Airbnb at eleven and squad, I am not even kidding you, when I say that this Airbnb was a disaster. It wasn't
Chloe Hartman: It was like
Natalie: it wasn't gross because all of our drinking and anything c crazy in that sense was done outside of the house, but we had cooked all weekend. I
Chloe Hartman: Right.
Natalie: had already done a load of dishes the day before, but we had cooked and eaten more since then, so
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. There was a lot of dishes, there was a lot of crafts, there was a lot of
Natalie: We there were dishes, crafts. My whole my whole craft inventory was just all over one room. We had moved
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: two mattresses into the living room and made a mega bed. We we had to do,
Chloe Hartman: Mm, mhm.

Chloe Hartman: Yeah. Yeah.
Natalie: we ate we ate breakfast first. We sat down and had a whole last breakfast first.
Chloe Hartman: We did. I my god. We did. We literally just were like chilling like we didn't have to be out in an hour and a half. It was so funny.
Natalie: And we crushed it. I had fifteen minutes left a afterward. I was like, hey, I'm swimming in time. I mean I really
Chloe Hartman: I rearranged my whole suitc like I repacked my whole suitcase. I didn't just throw
Natalie: Yeah.
Chloe Hartman: everything in. I was organizing. I was like it was it we did.
Natalie: Yeah. We crushed it.
Chloe Hartman: We did.
Natalie: It's the the instant gratification that comes with that type of situation just it's I could get high off of it. I could just I put that in my veins. I'd like to snort
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Natalie: that. There are so many there are so few times in life when you can actually I would
Chloe Hartman: I'd like to take a puff of that.
Natalie: I will puff puff pass on the instant gratification because I I there're so many ti or there's so few times in your life when instant gratification is actually Good. Chloe and
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: I have had deep conversations about how instant gratification
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: is actually really hurting, hurting all of us. But
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: no matter, we'll talk that some other day. Maybe when we talk about Dolly.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, I was gonna say maybe in the Dolly episode.
Natalie: but so in that situation, though, there's no way it can hurt. First, I knew we could do it. I was not worried. I
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: I also set like I wasn't worried and I knew I was like I'm gonna get such a rush such a rush
Chloe Hartman: yeah.
Natalie: from getting this done in an hour and a half and
Chloe Hartman: Yes.
Natalie: I chat listen I have this thing where I say I'm swimming in time all the time and I people people get confused by it because sometimes it does not appear as if I'm swimming in time. However, I'm I'm always making it. I always cross the line.
Chloe Hartman: I'm one thing I love to do is swim and I'm always swimming in the time.
Natalie: And I'm always swimming in time. There was at one point over the weekend we needed to do something and we had hours. it might have been before the game or something. And we were like, We're s we're swimming in time and then we're like, No, we're drowning in time. It was almost too much time, you know? What were we supposed to do with all that? So yeah.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. I'm just chuckling because I'm thinking about later on that day and our the rest
Natalie: yeah.
Chloe Hartman: of our day before going because my flight wasn't until later, but we had to be at the out of the Airbnb guys. And we were like you know, like what are we gonna do to fill our day? We were both exhausted and like so it was just like our you know, we gotta find something chill to do, but we gotta find something to take our time up and so, you know, we got pedicure I got a pedicure and that got our nails done. we got some food. I was definitely at one point felt the hangover hit. It w wasn't until later. So yeah, that was unfortunate, but but nevertheless, you know what I did? I persisted.
Natalie: Persisted Can I can I tell you something horrible? Just absolutely horrible.
Chloe Hartman: What?
Natalie: And you're gonna be mad. You might friendship break up with me. But sometimes
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: when you get a hangover, I get kinda happy about it because you went s so long in our mid-20s. You were like, I don't ever get hungover. Chloe used to say that all the time, Sky. She would be like, I
Chloe Hartman: I did it.
Natalie: don't ever throw up from drinking. I don't ever get hungover. Guess who I've seen thrown up from throw up from drinking more than anyone else in my life. That's all I'm saying. So and
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. Yeah.
Natalie: so but she didn't she really didn't get hangovers until the
Chloe Hartman: No.
Natalie: past few years. And so now there's a little mean part of me that's like, yeah, karma. For all of
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: those times when we would drink drink responsibly, guys. Don't drink and drive. but all of those times in our
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, yeah. We don't drink and try
Natalie: I know, but I was about to tell a story about us drinking and then no, we don't drink
Chloe Hartman: Usually, right? yeah, yeah.
Natalie: a drive. Not usually, we don't drink a drive. but
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, no no no.
Natalie: but okay. No
Chloe Hartman: Right? No, I don't no
Natalie: You said right. No, I was the DD the other night and I stopped drinking well before it was time to go home. So
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, you did.
Natalie: and I I also just don't drink a whole lot anymore. But I drank I had a margarita
Chloe Hartman: I was like, You drink more than I have seen you drink in a bit.
Natalie: I drank more than I've seen me drink in a bit. but it was very spaced out. And also I drank water.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. No, I think it was great. I
Natalie: And yeah. Cause I knew I was like, I'm the DD here. I obviously
Chloe Hartman: Yeah yeah.
Natalie: you know. I get a little bit of a thrill not a thrill, that sounds really mean, but when you get hung over a
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm. No, there's like a there's like a yeah. No, I I get it.
Natalie: For all those times that we drank and I got hangovers and you didn't, now it's like and you'd be like, I feel fine.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. Yeah.
Natalie: And I'd be like,
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: we're good. I need to sit here and watch Ted Lasso all day long. We can't do anything else.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, yeah.
Natalie: but yeah, so but we also of course wound up at another bookstore, Barnes and Noble. And chat,
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: this is what happened. Chloe didn't miss her flight. However, Chloe
Chloe Hartman: No. No.
Natalie: also didn't make her flight. So would you like to just tell everyone about
Chloe Hartman: Correct. Yeah. Well, we had our time frame very planned out. Like, you know, I I am not an early airport goer, but you know, I like Natalie was like, you know, DFD or Love Fields bigger than Kansas City. I'm like, yeah, I get it, but I still think I'm good. But we were like, okay, let's still
Natalie: Hold on.
Chloe Hartman: just shoot for not four, four thirty.
Natalie: Hold on, hold on, hold on. Chloe, for the group,
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Natalie: when you say you're not an early airport goer, let's say and it it just as an example, if your plane
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: was boarding at three PM, what
Chloe Hartman: Uh-huh.
Natalie: time do you think you should be at the airport? If your plane is boarding at three PM?
Chloe Hartman: What time do I think I should be? Probably like two ish.
Natalie: What time will you be at the airport?
Chloe Hartman: I would say it could be anywhere from two ten to like two thirty.
Natalie: Okay, okay. Go on. I just wanted
Chloe Hartman: And that's usually yeah.
Natalie: I wanted to give a frame of reference for for the class to know what we were working with in this situation. Go on.
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's just it's just how it is. I really just don't I mean I'm not that type of person that's like, I need to go find my gate and then I can go like go get a snack and no, I know what I'm doing. I'm gonna get it done and then I'm gonna
Natalie: Okay, you're being hateful about the type of people who behave like me, but okay. So also
Chloe Hartman: Well, I it's just, you know, I know the gate's gonna be there and it's yeah, it's whatever. If I am like going to a bigger airport, like I usually will be more early, but I did enjoy getting to the airport as early as I did. Anyway, whatever. Okay, let's backtrack here. I basically we have our hours or our afternoon planned out to where we're like, okay, yeah, we'll go to Barnes Noble, we'll get some lunch, whatever, whatever. And then, you know, we'll head that way at 3 30 or whatever time it was. And Natalie all afternoon was checking the time. Just like every now and then she'd
Natalie: She
Chloe Hartman: be like, you know, like we got about this much time left. And Then we leave Barnes Noble to go to the airport and she's like, we are late.
Natalie: And
Chloe Hartman: And I was like, when did we get late? And I
Natalie: I was okay, I had it in my phone. I was checking the time and also the traffic because we were in Dallas. And
Chloe Hartman: Right. Right.
Natalie: so I wanted to make sure that there was no traffic. And then all of a sudden,
Chloe Hartman: Yes.
Natalie: we're at Barnes and Noble. And then all of a sudden everything was fine. And then we were very late. So
Chloe Hartman: Yes. And you know, I'm like, okay, maybe there's an accident. And like, you know, she presses start. I look at her phone. I'm like, damn, we are like there this this route is just lit up red, you know? And
Natalie: Yeah.
Chloe Hartman: then at some point I'm like, you know what, I'm just gonna change my flight to the later one. I'm not making it because I think our ETA it kept getting pushed back to where I was getting there like five minutes before boarding closed and that just wasn't gonna wasn't gonna work. So
Natalie: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Chloe Hartman: yeah, I switched my flight and then, you know, there's a little bit of stress off because now I have like four hours like to spare. And Natalie keeps driving and then all of a sudden she's like you know, and I'm not paying attention 'cause I'm I'm just passenger princess for the weekend and I'm queuing up songs, and then like all of a sudden I just hear her go, I don't know where the heck we're at. Like, this is not where the airport is. And I'm like, she deadass. Well, I think yeah, so I guess what
Natalie: I was so confused. I was like, I've been to this airport so many times.
Chloe Hartman: had happened was she just like had typed in Dallas Love field like the whole day
Natalie: Yeah.
Chloe Hartman: and was like looking at the time there, but then when we were going, like It just was took us to middle of Dallas.
Natalie: have just clicked on because I was typing in Dallas Lovefield departures all day long. All day I was I was checking
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: the right spot. and then I typed in Dallas Lovefield. There's huge chance me and my ADHD brain just just said Dallas directions took a smack
Chloe Hartman: Right.
Natalie: dab to downtown Dallas and deep in the heart and it was so funny.
Chloe Hartman: Middle of Dallas, deep in the heart of Texas. Am I right? It was It was comical. I was like, my god, that is like
Natalie: Heh.
Chloe Hartman: I was just dying. I was not, you know, I wasn't stressed at all. I'm like, whatever. I was like, you know,
Natalie: You had already changed the flight at this point. Like it didn't matter.
Chloe Hartman: honestly, I was more like, you know, like 'Cause you still had to drive that night and I was like, you know, I was just more I was just more worried about you.
Natalie: Yeah, and I'll tell you, that was rough. I won't lie about that.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, yeah. So I yeah, it just it was it was so funny, but and we got some so we got some McDonald's and then we or some water, we didn't even get food, but yeah.
Natalie: Chloe was so sweet precious Chloe, it was so hungover all day that she just kept needing water and we kept running out of water because Chloe kept needing it. And so
Chloe Hartman: Yeah
Natalie: but we're trying to get to the airport on time, so we can't stop for water. And then I take
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: us to bum ass middle of Dallas and
Chloe Hartman: Uh-huh.
Natalie: we now have four hours to work with. There was a McDonald's
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: across the way, and I said, Well, I guess we can get you some water now.
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah.
Natalie: I pulled into McDonald's and I said, two large waters, please. It was 76 cents.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. 76 cents in case you guys were wondering. It was just it was like actually comical, but and I just joked, I was like, Natalie, did you just want to spend more time with me? Or like, you know, you could have just said that. Like I would have, you know, I would
Natalie: Course, always.
Chloe Hartman: have just made the later flight, but
Natalie: And then and then Chloe guys Chloe and I are a bad combo because we can convince the other one to do anything and it's and by convince I mean
Chloe Hartman: You were about
Natalie: it's like barely a suggestion. It's a whisper of s of a suggestion. So we're sitting there and what ha so to not mess up the story, Chloe's flight had been pushed back to it had been delayed and then it got undelayed.
Chloe Hartman: Yes. Yes. Right.
Natalie: And Chloe was not notified about the undulation. And
Chloe Hartman: Yes. Correct. Yeah.
Natalie: and so that is where my hyper hyper awareness of the time did not save us in this situation.
Chloe Hartman: Correct. Yeah.
Natalie: so but so
Chloe Hartman: So there's multiple factors at play.
Natalie: yes, so then we're sitting in the drive thru line. I just paid seventy six cents for waiting to get to the second window window at at McDonald's and Chloe goes, You know, I could just take a flight out tomorrow. I got some points. We can stay at a hotel. I mean, you have to drive all night. Not all night. It was three hours. But and she really started and honestly I was c
Chloe Hartman: There was a split second that you were like, Don't tell me what a good time.
Natalie: Yeah, I was I was close. I was close to being like, okay. but I I said, damn it, I have someone
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. You are brave.
Natalie: here it's I was a big brave dog and someone
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: here had to be responsible and I decided in that
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: moment it had to be me, because Chloe Chloe
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: didn't want to go to work the next day. She was like
Chloe Hartman: And you know what I did? I didn't go to work. No, I I I worked some. A little bit. Yeah.
Natalie: Yeah, she worked from home, guys. So, anyways, yeah, that is the story. That's the tale. But yeah, it was a great it was a great end summer and I will say since I've gotten back from that I've been like okay it's fall. I'm done. Summer is over. Summer is done. It's too damn hot. my gosh. But yeah. Okay, Chloe, will you
Chloe Hartman: Yeah yeah, same. Same. Yep. Yep. It's too hot Yeah No literally Yeah, well
Natalie: just do you wanna give us any before we do our list, do you wanna give us any updates about your life or anything?
Chloe Hartman: You know, I do basically I just need y'all to know that I'm moving again fourth time in two years, so that's fun. I can get into that
Natalie: Sorry.
Chloe Hartman: another time, but that's what my life is right now. That's why I said
Natalie: Yeah, it's kind of
Chloe Hartman: it's kinda chaos over here. and
Natalie: Yes.
Chloe Hartman: you know, moving is like there's s studies that are of like the top stressors in the world and or the not the world. I don't know. There's some something that's it's like moving relationship change job change and then there's something else. Anyway, so yeah, I'm I've done that four times now. So so yeah we're trying to get all of that figured out. It's kind of a long story, but you know, everything's happening how it needs to.
Natalie: It's a long story. I do think it's super important to note, Chloe and Addie did nothing wrong. They, however, have
Chloe Hartman: Right. Yeah.
Natalie: been given a very short amount of time to move.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: And so it's been very chaotic in the Hartman household.
Chloe Hartman: Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, we are living and laughing and lovin' and sometimes some more than others. But yeah.
Natalie: As you should. As you should.
Chloe Hartman: we Yeah, we're trying I'm trying to be like really type A about this move kind of. I have like we got a system in place and everything, but it's yeah, it is, you know, we've We were trying to make this house at home and it said, nah, we don't want you here. So we do have to
Natalie: And that home said, get out.
Chloe Hartman: pack up a three-bed, two-bath house, and that is that's a lot. So
Natalie: It's a bummer. And without with not a lot of time, not a lot of preparation, not a lot of mental
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, yeah. We're
Natalie: mental preparation also. So
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, so yeah, I think in total we have I mean we have three weeks now. and one of those my sister will be gone. So yeah, we're just trying to get everything figured out there. But yeah, lots of change coming up, so there'll be a new background here soon. so yeah. I'll give you guys a tour, don't worry. No, I won't give you a tour, that's weird.
Natalie: Yeah guys, watch out. Watch out. Amazing. And this is it. And it's on your iPad on the selfie camera with your microphone.
Chloe Hartman: My mic. sorry. god. Yeah, that's really kind of I mean there's probably a lot more updates, but I kind of figured I would tie some of those in with like the list. Yeah. I don't know.
Natalie: That's what I thinking with the list. Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, for mine.
Chloe Hartman: yeah, so
Natalie: Okay. Well, one thing that didn't make it to my list was my ant situation in my car. So
Chloe Hartman: I thought you like your like la ant, like A-U-N-T- I was like, hmm. I don't know if I know about this one.
Natalie: No. You're like, go on. Okay, T No, I I was going somewhere, I had an appointment, What's today Friday? So two days ago, I had an appointment. I opened the front door of my car, and there were ants all over it. It was an infestation of ants. So what I believe happened is that I parked on an ant bed, I think. And
Chloe Hartman: You think it might have been at the Airbnb?
Natalie: No, I believe it was in my yard. So because there isn't there are ant beds in my yard. And so
Chloe Hartman: Gotcha, gotcha.
Natalie: I believe and I parked I parked in a different spot so I could unload everything.
Chloe Hartman: Mm.
Natalie: In s instead of where I normally park, and then I just left the car there overnight because there was no reason to move it, and I believe that's what happened. And so
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: there was just a line of ants crawling up my console, they were all over my seat, they were everywhere, and I said,
Chloe Hartman: Mm.
Natalie: No, I'm not doing
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: this. So I looked it up. I texted my dad and my mom and I said, What do I do? And my dad said, You Google it
Chloe Hartman: Rune.
Natalie: Helpful answer, but okay. So I Googled it and they said move your car because it it throws off the scent trails, apparently. Ants follow scent trails. And but I said, I'm not moving my freaking car when there's an
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: millions millions is crazy, but you know, tons
Chloe Hartman: Right.
Natalie: of ants, a line that so
Chloe Hartman: You know
Natalie: many ants that it looked like a solid line, and so of ants all over
Chloe Hartman: They were really just trying to frickin' channel you they were like colony flow? What?
Natalie: Yeah, and they're like, we're gonna let this colony flow. Don't worry guys, you'll get that in a minute. So
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: then they they Yeah, it was it I so I looked it up. Obviously I went to to the sacred texts, Reddit, and I I asked Reddit Actually I asked Google to ask Reddit because I think that's how you're supposed to search for things, Reddit. I said, Ants and
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: Car Reddit And so then I Reddit said to get these Terra antbait traps. They cost five dollars at Walmart.
Chloe Hartman: yeah, I've used those.
Natalie: Yeah. And so I used my mom's car, went to Walmart, got those, left in there all day yesterday. And I this morning last night I checked, they all seemed dead. And I was like, swag, sweet, awesome. So I took him out and then today I did something. What did I do? I went back, I got in my car again this morning, and there were still
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: ants in there. Not nearly as many, but enough for me to be bothered, obviously.
Chloe Hartman: Right.
Natalie: So then I ended up washing my car. By washing I mean I went through a car wash. I went through a car wash, I vacuumed my car, vacuumed up all those little suckers, and then I went and got more ant traps and raid antspray. So
Chloe Hartman: Mm.
Natalie: if all of that doesn't work, I'm gonna let the ants have the car and I'll just buy a new one. So
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: I obviously. Okay, so before we start our list, there's one more thing I think we should do. It's September. Hallelujah. We're doing better. We made
Chloe Hartman: A
Natalie: it to September. And so
Chloe Hartman: Period.
Natalie: I think there is some very important T V coming back on soon and it's T V that I know we as a podcast will talk about. So I just wanna make sure
Chloe Hartman: Mm.
Natalie: that any lingo we're gonna use, we kind of we kind of front load the the everyone with the vocabulary.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: So did think dancing with the stars.
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: I think it's important for people to know that when we say pro, what we're talking about is a
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: professional dancer. So on Dancing with the Stars, a professional dancer is paired with a celebrity or an online personality.
Chloe Hartman: AK the dancer is dancing with the star. The sl yeah. Mm-hmm.
Natalie: The star. Yeah. It's it's in the name. But really the more important thing that I think we need to make sure everyone knows, 'cause I'm sure we will talk about it, is the DTM
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: list. So Jan Ravnik, who is one of the pros,
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Natalie: was last season was his first season and he on TikTok all the time was talking about his DTM list and who was on
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: it. So DTM stands for dead to me. And so
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Natalie: if we ever mention, if we ever say anything in regards to our personal DTM l list, Jan's DTM list, anything like that, that's what we mean is they're dead to us. So
Chloe Hartman: Yes, yes, yep, love Jan yeah.
Natalie: So mm-hmm. Can you think of any other dancing with the stars? Anything?
Chloe Hartman: No, I mean, if you wanna know like Carrie Ann, Derek,
Natalie: But
Chloe Hartman: and Glenn.
Natalie: Yeah.
Chloe Hartman: That's the those are the judges, right?
Natalie: Yeah, hey also if you ever hear us make the noise Gleb, that's a name of a dancer. If you're like, what onamatopeia is that?
Chloe Hartman: Mm mm. Yeah. Yep, sure is.
Natalie: It's it's a name. So
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, th so like I mean, we'll probably talk about the judges a lot 'cause I mean, last season they were kinda some of their scores were controversial and, you
Natalie: Yeah.
Chloe Hartman: know, just kind of annoying. There's that.
Natalie: I don't like Sister Hough What's her name? Julie Ju Julianne Huff, not a fan.
Chloe Hartman: Julianne Back to you, Alfonso!
Natalie: Yeah, I think she's a terrible hostess and I think they only
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: need one host and Alfonso would do a great job doing it alone. Yes. So it anything else? No. Okay.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, he's doing great. Yes. Yeah, I agree. No, I think Yeah.
Natalie: And then the other one is traitors, traitors parentheses regular people version. Which if you go back a few months on the pod, Chloe actually tried to convince me to apply for regular people traders, and I would have
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. He did.
Natalie: if my passport wasn't expired and if I wasn't
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: scared of getting buried alive. So then those are the two
Chloe Hartman: Yes. Yes. But we did determine that you could probably get a waiver for that. Donald can Donna
Natalie: Yeah, do you
Chloe Hartman: Kelce was able to get past some things. So
Natalie: Chloe Chloe said, if Donna Kelce can be on Traitors you can be on Traders. So
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. Yeah. and let me tell you guys, I was telling Natalie a story, you know, front to end. She hadn't heard any of it yet. And it was a it was a lengthy one. And she she's good at putting the putting the clues together. And so I was like, yeah, you could be pretty good at that.
Natalie: Yeah, I yeah, Chloe was telling me a story about something that happened in a situation. Sorry that we have to be like that vague about it. It's just not ours to really share on the pod.
Chloe Hartman: Right. Yeah.
Natalie: and so Chloe's telling me this story. She starts way at the beginning and were going and I said, it was blank and I named a person and she was like, How do you always do that? And so I do think that I would be good at I think I would be a good faithful and I
Chloe Hartman: Mm, mhm.
Natalie: I think maybe I could be a good trader. I think I would play it mostly like Rob I I
Chloe Hartman: I think yeah, yeah.
Natalie: think I would have to basically convince myself I wasn't a traitor.
Chloe Hartman: Right.
Natalie: Or I would just be like, I'm a trader and everyone would be like Okay. And then yeah, but
Chloe Hartman: Mm.
Natalie: I think I think I would be better as a faithful. So yeah, and then
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah.
Natalie: but traders, it's the normal people version, which I'm excited about. I don't love the celebrity version, but just a traitor is someone who in the game is picked to betray people, like vote people out and stuff like that. And the faithfuls are the people who are in the house trying to figure out who the traders are. Every night they have a round
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm.
Natalie: table discussion where they all sit at a round table. and they all yell at each other and then they vote. And that's how you play traitors. So they do challenges
Chloe Hartman: Mm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yeah.
Natalie: and yeah, that's that's kind of
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. I was gonna you know, for the listeners, Natalie and I had discussed some ideas and stuff for this upcoming season. and it's just so f like I'm like, we have a second season now.
Natalie: I know.
Chloe Hartman: the so we're you know, we're gonna keep most of the stuff the same. We also had talked about maybe doing like a quarterly Book club. I know we had talked about movies last time, but you know, maybe in addition we do a book. and you know, you guys can read along if you want. because there's a couple books now that we have collectively both on our list. So there's that, and then
Natalie: Like to throw out okay, Chloe and I did accidentally kind of start the same book called All About Love by Bell Hooks. So
Chloe Hartman: Yeah, have you started it?
Natalie: no, but we both own the same book and
Chloe Hartman: We both bought it.
Natalie: we both bought it and had it in our possession when we were together. So
Chloe Hartman: Yes, yes.
Natalie: following our intuition stones.
Chloe Hartman: Yep,
Natalie: I think that means that's the book club book. I would also like to
Chloe Hartman: yeah.
Natalie: throw out a fiction book because we're also both huge proponents for fiction, so maybe we have like a
Chloe Hartman: Yes.
Natalie: a nonfiction and a fiction or whatever. The book Grim Tidings
Chloe Hartman: Yes.
Natalie: by B. K. Borison. B. K. Borison's the one who wrote And Now Back to You and all of that kind of s
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: that. She also does
Chloe Hartman: Holiday ones.
Natalie: last year yeah, last year she did Good Spirits, which I loved.
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: So she's doing Grim Tidings. It's coming out this month, but it's once again another Christmas book. So if we wanna
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. Yeah.
Natalie: if we wanna have a and it'll be smutty 'cause she writes smut. So so we'll talk about your soul and smut on our book.
Chloe Hartman: Yep. Yep. We also maybe hypothetically might dive into a Stephen King novel. TBD. I do kinda wanna
Natalie: yeah, yeah, yeah, I forgot we had discussed that.
Chloe Hartman: I did pick it up at Barnes and Noble when we were there and I like, damn, this is a fat boy. But I Yes, the JFK one, I do kind
Natalie: That is fat. The J F K one, right? That's what we discussed? Yeah. Okay.
Chloe Hartman: of really wanna read that. So there's that
Natalie: Yeah, I'm scaled, but
Chloe Hartman: but I think we can do it together. We'll be brave together.
Natalie: We can be brave together. So together.
Chloe Hartman: Together Together yeah, so those are kind of some of the ideas we're throwing around. We're gonna let us know like if you have any book requests. And also, I thought it would be fun. I had to say I haven't ran it by Natalie, but I thought it would be fun if in the
Natalie: I love when this happens.
Chloe Hartman: next couple weeks, if you guys have an idea for our next best friends weekend destination, drop it in the comments or DM one of us or
Natalie: Absolutely.
Chloe Hartman: text Natalie. You can text me. I will screenshot it and send it to Natalie. I
Natalie: Hm.
Chloe Hartman: w won't respond to you probably.
Natalie: Or text Natalie is literally
Chloe Hartman: But
Natalie: all of my friendships are like me being the timekeeper and me being the per the communicator. It's like,
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: hey, it's it's time for you to go. Hey, this person texted and asked. And
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. Yep.
Natalie: I don't think that necessarily makes me the mom of the group always. I just those are the things, those are the things
Chloe Hartman: No.
Natalie: I'm good at in a situation. It's so so
Chloe Hartman: Yes. Yeah. So yeah, that that was another idea we had. But yeah, we have a lot of w a lot of good things in store, I think. So
Natalie: We got we got we got a lot cooking Chloe, do you want to make a list?
Chloe Hartman: Let's make a fucking list, girl.
Natalie: Let's make a list! Everyone get your notes up! Get it up and running! Get up, up, up.
Chloe Hartman: Get up get up Alright. What was this titled? I forget.
Natalie: Okay, this I just okay Literally guys, I threw out this title to Chloe. We were walking around somewhere and I said, Hey, the list should be summer finds. And she said, Okay, and I said, You could throw tortillas and that tick that vodka you like on there, and she was like, yeah. That was the conversation. So, anyways,
Chloe Hartman: Yep, yep.
Natalie: this is just summer finds, so it kind of wraps up our summer because we're done with summer and we're summer's cut off, but There were some good things that came out of it. We both found some things that we loved, so we wanted to share. Chloe, what's your first summer find?
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm. Well, yeah, I do just have to give a shout out to Western Sun Strawberry Vodka. I had it in a vodka sprite in Texas. I had a couple of them, actually. Sue me. and it is so good, guys. I didn't really put together that Texas has a lot of vodka. but that might also
Natalie: But
Chloe Hartman: be why I am spiritually connected to the state of Texas. yeah,
Natalie: Big vodka place, yeah. We love we love our vodka.
Chloe Hartman: so that brand they got a lot of flavors, but the strawberry one with in a vodka sprite, shout out to our friend Erica for putting us on that. You're a real one. Yeah. Yeah.
Natalie: Yeah. It was good. I mean, I drank it. I said, Give me something. And y'all said,
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: What? And I said, I don't care. She said, vodka or tequila, and I said, always vodka. I am not a
Chloe Hartman: Yes.
Natalie: I am not a tequila girl. I am not Meredith Gray. And I Tig
Chloe Hartman: Tequila girls kinda scare me, I'm not gonna lie.
Natalie: I'm so scared of tequila girls. I am So scared. And so,
Chloe Hartman: Yeah.
Natalie: but yeah, no. And so you handed me you were she handed me this, one of y'all handed me this, and I took a sip and I said, what is this? This is good. So yeah. Mm-hmm. It was really good. Okay, so
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. Yeah, it's real good. All right. Not what do you what do you got?
Natalie: my first one is actually not necessarily this summer. And it is kind of a luxury, but it's these headphones, the Bows, Quiet Comfort. The reason it's not necessarily
Chloe Hartman: Mm. Yes.

Chloe Hartman: Anyway, yeah, that's my biggest bullshit. What about you, girl?
Natalie: My biggest bullshit is when you go somewhere and people park right next to you. It's the same thing with bathroom stalls when there's plenty of other spaces. This morning when I was trying to vacuum the damn ants out of my car, there were plenty of spaces and a car pulled up and parked right next to me. So then they I felt rushed to be done using the vacuum because I was using the vacuum on my
Chloe Hartman: Mm-hmm. You you preach it.
Natalie: p passenger side.
Chloe Hartman: Appreciate girl.
Natalie: So it would have been their like driver's side, but they pulled up right next to and I was like, maybe I had my headphones on because I hate the sound of vacuum. So like had my headphones on. I was listening to a podcast and I was like, maybe I just wasn't paying attention and it got really full. I look around, no, there's spots everywhere. Why did you park right next to me? Why did you do that? Now I feel rushed and stressed out
Chloe Hartman: Ridiculous.
Natalie: and like My door's open because I'm vacuuming a car because we're at the car wash to vacuum our cars. That's what we do here. And so
Chloe Hartman: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Natalie: obviously my door is gonna be open and you're gonna pull up and then I'm like, do I need to like close the door or whatever? But like, no, I'm vacuuming the car. It made me so mad. So that's my biggest bullshit. If there's space, take it. Take up

Natalie: Anyways, okay everybody.
Chloe Hartman: But don't get into other people's space without their consent, you know?
