Hello, besties. Happy Friday. It's happy hour. Thanks for joining us. We survived, ladies. How wonderful is that? How are y'all? We did. It's been a bay. I know all of us have had crazy... Well, I think Lee has just about everyone in her family except herself's birthday in the month of May. For real, like 10 birthdays. And then all the end of the school year crap. Oh my God. Why do we have to have a party like for everything? I like a good field day. Give me a whistle. Give me a whistle. Yeah, it's, it is.

It is May. Do you guys, do you guys still laugh at that, that Justin Timberlake, it's going to be May? Like, at least? Yeah, I, I actually, um, refused to post that this year on Millennial Misery. People were upset about it. But you didn't post it? No, because one, every other meme page posted it too. It's been around for 10 years. I don't find it funny anymore. And one thing that has worked for me on my main page is I actually post what I find funny. But also I don't like Justin Timberlake anymore. So from the Brittany, yeah, from the Brittany stuff, like her docs and her the book. I'm like not a fan. Yeah. And saying fine, Justin no. So well, let me ask this. Do you say on the first of the month, do you say rabbit, rabbit? No, but I've heard that before.

No, I don't know what that is. I always say, wake up, wake up, wake up. It's the first of the month. Also good. I got it from the babysitter's club back in the day. Oh, OK. I didn't know if it was a good luck thing. My girlfriend and I text on the, yeah, it's like, have a good month, kind of.

We do it on like the first of the month. We'll text rabbit, rabbit, or like a rabbit, rabbit emoji. Make a baby. What do you say on the last yeah, it's like have a good month, kind of. We do it on like the first of the month. We'll text rabbit, rabbit, or like a rabbit emoji. Make a baby. What do you say on the last day of the month? Make a baby. Well, you know you fucker like rabbits. Well, I don't say, no. You don't say make a baby to your girlfriend?

Shira, that's not why I send that to you. Let's make babies. Let's make babies. I guess that's what you say on the last day of the month. Starting off happy hour already. Well, we are recording this one a little early because we are honoring a besties vacation, which you know about if you listen to last week's, which isn't an if you, it's when you listened to last week's episode. Lee is actually, while you're listening to this, at an In-N-Out Burger, eating a hamburger, animal style,

while listening to Miley Cyrus. Oh my gosh. Based on wonderful recommendations I received from Bestie Ashley on what to do in LA. Rick Steveson. For real. Ashley Hurd's travel recommendations. There we go.

You need your own book deals. I am. I am. Bring it. Bring it. Very, very basic. At Disney. So that's good.

But yes, we are honoring vacations because that is good. I'm not going to record a podcast, nor should anybody, while on vacation. So I'm R&Ring. So nice. I was about to make a real dark joke. Watch I die and then we have this and that doesn't make sense. I know. I don't know why I'm this way. Intrusive thoughts.

Oh, gosh. I know. I do the same thing. You know, it's one of those things. I do the same thing. That's okay. I'm like, oh, my intrusive thoughts came out of my mouth. Those are supposed to stay in here.

I know. Oops. Happy Friday. I know. Air quotes. Happy Friday. I know, air quotes, happy Friday. But yes, but we still have shit to talk about, so we wanted to make sure we did that. That's the sound of fried chicken with a spicy history. Thornton Prince was a ladies' man.

To get revenge, his girlfriend hid spices in his fried chicken. He loved it so much, he opened Prince's hot chicken. Hot chicken in the window. This is one of many sounds in Tennessee with a story to tell. To hear them in person, plan your trip at tnvacation.com. Tennessee sounds perfect. So ladies, what's on the docket?

Well, we don't mean to have an incomplete festivities reunion, but we are today. I am on my way down to Atlanta right now because I am forcing Ashley to come with me to the Megan the Stallion concert tonight. I'm so excited. Megan, the Stallion. I'm so excited. I've been wanting to, first of all, I've been a huge fan of hers since 2018, but I've been wanting to see her.

She's actually going to be at Bonnaroo. Bonnaroo is a festival just south of Nashville and I really wanted to go. I had no one to go with though. And so I had a few too many white claws. I think that was last weekend. And I started Googling when she was going to be around me and she's going to be in Memphis or Atlanta. And I thought I was just buzzed enough to look at tickets and then text Ashley. I'd be like, does Bestie Amy live in Memphis? Is that a choice of between? No, she lives in Chattanooga. She probably would have came with me though.

She should bring her, bring her. Yeah. Isn't that on the way? Yeah, it literally is. Way down yonder on the Chattanooga. That's Chattahoochee. Which is close, which is here. Which is also close. Wow, that was awesome.

Chattahoochee is close. So you can write your book on song lyrics. It's marginally close to song lyrics. Exactly. That's funny. So I'm very excited, but I sort of feel bad for Ashley. So the tickets that I purchased. Why? How does that affect you? Well, because I just don't know if like, I like, you know, she likes a wall nation.

So you're going to hear pussy. She likes puss. Glowrilla is going to be opening for her. Do you know how I'm like freaking out? I still don't have my outfit. I told Jamie I need her to get her outfit and then she can send it to me so I can get an outfit. Wear your romper.

Wear that romper with boots. It would fucking work. Wear your romper but put fishnets under it or something. You see what I'm saying? Oh my God, yes. I see what you're saying. She probably already returned it. I did return it.

Oh, you did? Oh, damn. Yeah, I did. I know you didn't want it, but I didn't think you would actually return it because it's a sword. I felt so accomplished when I rolled up and got it sent out. I'm a million bucks. Million bucks. Thank you.

I appreciate that. I have my stack of things to return. I did it on time also, so I didn't have to go in the Amazon chat to awkwardly be like, sorry, do you mind taking this beautiful garment? Flattering, very flattering garment. That literally shoved up my ass for approximately 20 minutes. It's in demand, high demand. So you don't have the romper, damn. No, I don't have the romper. I mean, I will be honest. Jamie, you need to get here because we may need to go to a store because whatever

I wear. I'm going to take a half day. I wore HR attire to Beyonce. You're going to wear a suit business casual. Wear your Navy suit to Megan the Scouse. Yeah, well, I was thinking khaki. I was thinking more casual khaki suit. Flip flops. Well, I got us tickets in a suite. What the fuck? Yeah. And it has free alcohol and food. Oh, no. And I did not get an invite, let the record show. I just wanted to show. She's out of town. I am out of town.

It wasn't intentional. No, I know. I'm not her, but that sounds fun as hell. Cause I love that sweet life, you know what I mean? You know, I'm bougie as fuck. I paid quite a bit, but I don't care. Cause I haven't seen, like one, she's like her and little Kim. Like those are the only two people like I probably care to see in person.

Have you seen little Kim ever? No, long story short, no. For my 19th birthday, well, for my 19th birthday, there was a cash money millionaires concert and she was supposed to actually be there even though she's not affiliated with cash money. was a Cash Money Millionaires concert and she was supposed to actually be there even though she's not affiliated with Cash Money. And at the kind of like the last minute she pulled out of the last leg of the tour. So I didn't get to see her, but I did get to see everyone else with Cash Money for my 19th birthday. I feel like you are a great person for trivia night, Jamie.

I do too. Yeah. I might be. I'm full of useless knowledge. I would want both of y'all. Yeah, y'all know so much useless shit from the internet. Complimentary, yeah. And I mean that like, nice. I did the Jeopardy quiz. If you guys, there's now a pop culture Jeopardy coming up. Oh, cool.

Two friends and I, well, I'm on a group chat, not with you guys. A group chat. Oh my God. With my four, I know five of us, five of us girlfriends went to law school together and we do a lot. And so one of our friends like, Oh, have you seen this? But it's teams of three and only and there's five of us on the chat.

Thankfully one doesn't know anything. She doesn't know anything. She's self-selected out. And another friend is like, has a very high power job. And so I think she was like, I'm gonna, yeah, busy. So like you could be on Jeopardy! Well, I could, but I did the test. And I thought I knew pop culture

and I knew some of my length with some of them. I was like, gosh, I don't know. So yes, I don't know about that. I'm gonna have to try this. Yeah, yeah, go do it. I'm trying to apply for Press Your Luck. I wanna be on there so fucking bad. My whole life, like 35 years or so.

35 years or so. No whammies, no whammies, no whammies. No whammies, no whammies, no whammies. That is fun. No whammies, no whammies, no whammies. Stop. Like, I love Elizabeth Banks. I mean, I want to be on that show so bad.

So I know I can just fucking kill it. You know what I mean? Like, hmm. You would. I would. God, I just need to apply. I've only done half the application. But if they're listening. Jamie, what show would you want to be on besides Pop Culture Jeopardy, which you would be amazing

at? Oh my God, I don't know. This is hard. She'd win it. I think I'd always want to do Price is Right. Yeah, you'd be so good. I mean, that's a classic, right? But also, if I do ever watch it, even with Drew Carey, like I still scream at the TV like now it's higher than that. So I think that would probably be like the OG show I'd want to go on. There's also a show I and I cannot think the name. So I'm sorry if you're screaming in your car, but it plays the first few bars of a song and then you have to sing the rest. Oh, is that it? Oh, whoops, God, that seems so fucking easy. Oh, there's the original. It's like a Shazam.

But it's like a newer game show. I'd be good at that too, I think, because I know way too many songs from across genres and I know the words. So I think I'd kill that. Now my number one show that I would adore to be on, and I would be on it with my bestie Mike, we've been talking about this for 20 years, is Supermarket Sweep. Oh my God, yes. Because I know exactly where we're going first.

We have it, I mean, we're ready. Yes, yes. And I swear that people back in the day, they put on that show, it's like they've never been in a fucking supermarket. I know. You know what I'm saying? Oh my God. It's like, I mean, damn. I mean, it's like, ah, do you not know what a wheat then is,

bitch? I know. Yes. I know. When they have the inflatable things and they're sweating. I was just about to say the inflatables. But I do. Like, whenever I think, and I think this is something from like, from like watching TV in like the late 80s, like a very oddly specific time, is when I'm checking out at the grocery store, often in the glimpse of my mind, I wonder if I'm going to be like the 10 millionth customer and balloons will drop from the ceiling and how exciting that would be or somebody

around me. I just would love to see there and have it be present and then get like, I don't know, groceries for the year. Yeah. But I think at supermarkets week now now I'd go and be like, oh my God, it's also expensive. Like it's so, it's pricey. I know. Inflation. Cause Leslie Jones was doing something like that. And then did you all ever watch

Finders Keepers on Nickelodeon? I don't remember that. I can't believe so. I'm looking this one up. Oh my gosh. Double Dare. Oh my God. Double Dare or temples. Yes, of course. Temples of the Lost Ark. Oh my God. A doom or whatever. Heck yeah. Double Dare. Oh, God, Double Dare or temples. Of course. Temples of the Losar. Oh my God. Doom or whatever.

Heck yeah, Double Dare. I got, when I was growing up in elementary school, I got a Double Dare sweatshirt from like, JCPenney. Oh, yeah. And I wore it. But of course then everyone's like, were you on Double Dare?

Yes. You say yes. Then they'd be like, what episode? I mean, I guess that the good thing is then like, oh, you didn't catch it. You didn't catch it. Exactly, no, you say yes Then they'd be like what episode I mean, I guess that the good thing is then like oh you It aired a month ago You missed it our family was um, my husband his dad stepmom and mom quite the combination we were you know, we were finalists for Family Feud To get oh my god ticket, you know, they filmed it in Atlanta now.

We, yeah, that time passed. That's right. Like, when I reached out to them and I was like, guys, I want to apply it. It was like the most, that was a very me type of type of suggestion that they thought. They didn't want to do it? Yeah, I don't think we were exciting enough. But no, they want to do it. They were begrudgingly fine with it. And it's fun.

They're from, like my husband's stepmother's from Queens. Like she has a great accent. It's, you know, we got the dynamic of father-in-law, ex-wife, current wife. It's fun, but everybody gets along. So anyway. That would be fun to go on. Maybe we should apply.

Maybe if they do like a podcast. Yeah, that'd be fun. We could suggest it. Yeah, that'd be fun. So on. Maybe we should apply. I would love to do like a podcast. Yeah, that'd be fun. We could suggest that'd be fun So anyway, people are like, okay. Oh, but we digress. I know right. I digress gosh Gifting dad can sometimes hit the wrong note Oh Instead gift the glen livid the single malt whiskey that started it all for a balanced flavor and smooth finish. Just sit back and listen to the music.

This single malt scotch whiskey is guaranteed to impress dad this Father's Day. The Glenlivet. Live Original. Please enjoy our products responsibly. But yeah, but so Jamie and I are going to be... Yes, Megan. I will be rapping loudly. You know, like all the songs. Oh, yeah. I'm going to be saying watermelon, watermelon, watermelon. They teach you just to math that you don't know the words. Oh, is that what you're supposed to do? Yeah. If you don't know, so that'll be me in the

video. You just, watermelon, watermelon. You just say watermelon over melon. Yeah, I laugh because my friend that I mentioned that has a very, very busy job. And so she is on Peloton and she is friends with my dad on Peloton, like connections, you know, whatever. I think I told all my friends, like connect with my parents. But she laughs and she's like, some days when I'm having like a day and I'm busy, I'll think of the fact that I went to go do a Megan Thee Stallion 30 minute ride

and I saw your dad had taken it and I went and looked and he did the whole ride. And she's like, I envision your dad doing Megan Thee Stallion. And so, yeah. Is he going with y'all? Yeah. Ooh. Coming up, coming up, coming up from the villages to make a bus. It's an excursion.

So that's a good question though. Are y'all taking limo since you're doing the suite experience? Where is it at? Where the Hawks play? State Farm. I think it's the State Farm arena. It's Where the Hawks play? It's State Farm. I think it's State Farm Arena. State Farm Arena, yeah. It's where the Hawks play. Right in Atlanta, there's two arenas kind of right next to each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it's, yeah, that's, I can't help it. Now I gotta step it up and get a replica. But do we need a dinner reservation, Jamie? Or no? This is a happy hour topic. Or are we free food? I don't know. Free food is fine. You let me know. I don't know. All right.

Whatever. Just text me on the group chat so Lee can see all of these conversations. No, I appreciate it. No, I want to know, you know. But I want to know what you all are going to wear. See, that's my favorite part of an event is prepping for the clothes. I'm going to disappoint you greatly. No. Aren't you going to go shopping? I mean, what do you wear to a concert like that? Leather? That's what I envision. I asked chat GPT. You asked chat GPT? No, you did not.

I swear to God. What you wear to a Megan Thee Stallion concert? Yes, I did. What did it say? Please. I'm trying to pull it up. I mean, it was like, Bless. I'm going to pull it up. Oh my gosh.

This is so funny. Let me pull it up. Let me pull it up. Well, like, well, I don't know, but I wanted it to be like, okay, so her recent album, uh, well it hasn't come out yet, but all of her songs are related to snakes. Yes. So we've got Cobra, we got Hiss and we got Boa. That's recently come out. So I wanted to, I want to wear something related with snakes. It's like a snake skin. Oh, That's my idea in my head, but it's not come. And I was thinking like a chic goth, like a chic, and I really wanted to wear a harness, but I'm big boned.

And so finding a harness that fits me is challenging. What do you mean by harness? Like you had to go to a stable to get one or what? What do you mean by harness? Like you have to go to a stable to get one or what? I mean, you're like, I gotta go to a, you're like, I'm big boned and I need a harness. What the fuck, girl? Oh my God. Y'all don't know what I'm talking about. Do you need to fucking go to the stable?

What is that? Like a B S D M H E B thing? I mean, what the fuck? I just got burnt to a crisp y'all. Burnt to a fucking crisp. Well, you know, you said it and that was rude to yourself. But you I mean, come on, man. That's fucking funny.

What's a harness? A harness. Oh, okay. I just showed them a picture of a harness. Oh, okay. Like, no, Steve, I didn't know what, I've never heard of that. That's like steampunk. I went to a steampunk wedding once. That was fun. Okay, so Megan Chachibiti says, I'll put this on her Insta, but Megan wears often eye-catching,

eye-catching form-fitting bodysuits or jumpsuits. I don't see harness. Look for something sequined, metallic, or bright bold color. Well, I'm not trying to look like her. It goes on and gives very specific tips about boots, hair, makeup, and accessories. But number six is attitude. The most important part of the costume is confidence. Channel Megan's fierce and unapologetic attitude to really bring the look to life. And with these elements, you'll be ready to slay as Megan Thee Stallion.

I swear, I love JGBT, it's so cringy. Yet like, okay, fair enough. It's really, I feel like it really is my like, I feel like sometimes I write the things that are in Chachibetee because they're so embarrassing and corny. It does seem like that, all cute. And Google has some good suggestions I'm looking to. Yeah. And I feel like Atlanta would be a venue

where people really will show up and show out. Oh, they'll show fucking out. I am pumped to see that. So Atlanta girlies, if you see us, please stop and say hi to us. Because I just would love that personally. Take some selfies. Yeah. Yeah, Jamie, have you still never been recognized?

Nope, never been recognized, which I'm not mad about. Well, where is your harness? Well, I got to go buy the stables really quick. Matter of fact, we need to wrap this up because I have an apartment with a horse. I didn't know what a harness was. Like, that's the only thing I could think of is shit in a barn. I mean, what the fuck? Jamie's got a harness. I didn't know that was a harness.

Jamie's got a harness stop. Can't stop at Bucky's stopping at the barn. Going to a barn to pick up my harness for Megan the stallion. Well, it's a stallion. That's how I made that. That's what I thought. It was a horse stable thing. Yes.

But anyways. I'm like screaming, crying, and throwing up right now. I don't know her, but I would have gone for the sweet. Yeah. Listen to WAP. Start with WAP clean version. No, don't do the clean version. No, I don't want nothing clean.

Look at me. I'm just going to advise that for our audience. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. If people are listening to the end of our happy hour, they probably know we don't always have the best language. Okay. Oh, gosh.

But y'all have fun. We will. We didn't really talk about work, but you know what? That's okay. That's a good happy hour. Yeah, it's very happy hour. Happy. It's even happier. It is it's very happy hour. Happy.

It's even happier. It is. It is even happier. Any other feel-goods? Y'all are going to go have fun without me tonight, so that's nice. Yeah, well, that won't feel as good as if you were there. We'll miss you. We'll bring a cart out.

No, it won't. I mean, real talk, shit. It's true. I thought we were bringing a... It is true. It's true. Man, I love getting drunk in public. It's true.

You know? God, nothing beats that shit, doesn't it? Oh, God, I love that. It's true. It is true. Man, I love getting drunk in public. It's true. You know? God, nothing beats that shit, does it? Oh, God, I love that. Oh my God. But y'all have fun. We will.

And then it's the last day of the month. So what do we say? Well, tomorrow- It's like rabbits are so good. It's the first of the month. We say rabbit, rabbit. That's the feel good for tomorrow. Rabbit, rabbit.

Yeah, there we go. If it's the end of the month- But today- A lot of people are probably getting paid today. So that's if you're- weekly for some of this. So that is that is a feel good. I'll say that's my feel good. Happy happy payday. Get paid besties. Yes, besties. Have fun and hope you had fun in LAX. Can't wait to hear. Yes, just like Miley. Spend a whole week in the airport like that Tom Hanks movie. Yeah, yeah, that'd be fun. Alrighty, everybody enjoy their weekends. We'll see you next week.
