Two Voices, One Vibe
Reunited and It Feels So Good
After a three-and-a-half-month break, we're back with stories that will make you laugh, gasp, and double-check your door locks tonight! Between our busy travel schedules (Europe, Asia, and cross-country adventures), we've had plenty of life happening—and we can't wait to catch you up on all of it.
The real excitement begins when Nikita shares her recent late-night encounter with an intruder attempting to enter her home while her young daughters slept. The adrenaline-fueled minutes waiting for police to arrive will have you on the edge of your seat, especially when the responding officer delivers an unexpectedly casual response to the frightening situation.
Not to be outdone, Lina recounts her teenage experience with a persistent stalker who terrorized her family home for months. Picture her father charging through their backyard wielding an ax while her brother follows with hockey sticks—all while young Lina develops her own home defense strategy involving Windex and a kitchen knife. These aren't stories from a thriller movie; they're our actual lives!
We lighten things up with tales of our coincidental new car purchases, furniture shopping adventures (Nikita's getting a complete home makeover!), and our shared fashion dilemmas. You'll hear about Nikita's daughters' first major concert experiences, weather woes affecting our summer plans, and our thoughts on everything from Taylor Swift's impossible-to-get tickets to celebrity transformations.
The chemistry that's kept our friendship strong for years shines through in every minute of this catch-up conversation. Whether you're a longtime listener or joining us for the first time, this episode feels exactly like sitting down with your best friends after too much time apart.

Lina:All of them, except what's going to be so. Europe and Asia will be work, right, and then Nashville will be work. But I always tag on a weekend before or after my trip so I can explore and do what I need to do, and then, when I'm done working from dinner until night is my time.

Nikita :I have a great job.
Lina:Yeah, oh. And then I was also in Orlando for work conference. Oh yeah, that's right For Right. Forget about that. Yeah, yeah, how could we forget about that Been all around the world? Nah, nah, nah, I don't know that. It's all around the world. Well, lots of the worlds.
Nikita :So wait, if you go, you might be going back to Europe, you said, and then possibly into Asia yes, when?
Lina:in Asia would you be going? So it'll most likely be Singapore and possibly somewhere in China.
Nikita :Okay, speaking from experience, singapore is fucking hot. Yeah Like obnoxious.
Lina:Yeah, so not looking forward to that Pack accordingly. So maybe I will be one of those people walking around with the umbrellas that are on my head so I can be hands-free with the with with like a misting fan where you have like a pump.
Nikita :Yeah, in Disney they have the the hand fans. Yeah, with the fan in the water, yeah, yeah, I think I think my daughter has one. Maybe we could send it with you. I'm totally game.
Lina:I will be that girl. That girl, yeah, because I'm way too white for it to be that hot. You know, I love when you come home from somewhere like DR and you're like do you like I will be that girl. That girl, yeah, because I'm way too white for it to be that hot.
Nikita :You know, I love when you come home from somewhere like DR and you're like do you like my tan?
Lina:And I'm like I think I still have tan lines. Nikita, I don't know about that, can you see?
Nikita :No, they're there. I still have tan lines.
Lina:Yeah, okay, whatever, I didn't even recognize you. I know I'm not that dark anymore. I was about to call 911 and say there was an intruder in your house Speaking of Tell the story.
Nikita :Speaking of oh my gosh, wow, talk about a transition right there. So a couple weeks ago I started, I think I told you this, yeah, but a couple weeks ago, middle of the night, saturday night, it's me, the girls are home, toby starts mean dog barking. Toby doesn't bark Ever.
Lina:Ever Like. He's like the laziest dog I know.
Nikita :Love him, Lazy unmotivated, like just doesn't care. So he starts mean barking. I look at my clock it's 4 o'clock. It's four o'clock. It's four o'clock in the morning. Who is he barking at? So then I thought to myself, oh, maybe my brother, like I heard somebody yelling outside and I was like, oh, maybe it's my brother.
Lina:Which is so random. Why would your brother be yelling outside your house at 4 am? Because he's done it before? Well, we'll talk about that next, but continue However so I?
Nikita :but I'm thinking, okay, well, maybe it's my brother. I'm like, well, wait, let me check my phone Because if it is, he would have called me or texted me to give me a heads up that, hey, I'm at your house. Yeah, there was no calls, no text messages, nothing. And I was like what is going on?
Lina:So I open up my phone app for my cameras and there's some random dude at my front door, I'm like I don't know. I don't know this guy it's like, how old is he?
Nikita :like young old he had to have been, I'm gonna say mid-30s, okay, at least. I mean, I really can't tell you, but if I had to guess, okay.
Lina:So I'm like I don't know. It's not like an old guy that had to mention like no lost where he was going and was trying to come home?
Nikita :No, absolutely not. So I'm like I don't know who this guy is, I'm not going to open the door. So I go to the front room and I get the dog because I don't want him to keep barking, because I don't want him to wake the girls up. Sure, bad enough, there's somebody standing outside of my door yelling and screaming. So I grabbed Toby and all of a sudden I hear the guy fucking with my front door and I'm like, oh no, like trying to get in, like yeah, like trying to open the door, knocking on the door. He opened my screen door and he's like let me in.
Lina:And I'm like oh God, was he saying anything else?
Nikita :I don't know, like I couldn't comprehend what he was saying because he was like mumbling and yelling Like there was. It was not anything coherent. Okay, yelling like it there was.
Lina:It was not anything coherent, okay, and I'm sure it was all happening so fast too, like the adrenaline was going and you were thinking about the girls and I didn't want the kids to wake up so so I grabbed toby, I go back to my bedroom, I throw him in the bathroom and I call 911.
Nikita :And the lady was a saint. I'm like listen. I said I'm in my house and there's somebody trying to get in my house. And I'm home, I have my daughters are in the house with me, it's just us like you need to send the cops. And she's like all right, stay on the phone with me until the cops get there. Let me tell you, the cops were here in like four minutes. If that, that's awesome, but that was the longest four minutes of my life, let me tell you, because I don't know if this guy's gonna get in my house. You know, and it was really funny because that night I was lying in bed reading before I'd gone to bed, and I'm like I don't know if I locked the door, and usually I'm like whatever, I'll just whatever I was like, let me get up and check it. Thank god I got up and checked the door Imagine.
Nikita :Thank god I had locked the door. It wasn't like I had forgotten. It was one of those weird things. When I look back I'm like, oh my, I'm so glad I got up and checked the door, anyway. So the cops get here and I'm sitting in my bedroom because I don't want to be anywhere near this, you know, and I'm making sure the kids don't wake up, nothing. So they take this guy and they put him in the ambulance and they take him away. So the cops knock on my door. I open the door. He's like you know, I don't know who this guy was. He's like do you know who he is? I was like no, I've never seen this guy before in my life. I said, you know, he was trying to get my house. I got a four, uh, an eight year old and an 11 year old. I have to. The cop said to me he goes that's why you pay taxes. I was like, excuse me what? I was like oh, okay, thanks, so, but yeah, how wild.
Lina:That's crazy.
Nikita :I, I can't.
Lina:I had a stalker situation when I was a teenager. So obviously I was living in my parents' house and my brother was living there just the four of us and one of my friends was sleeping over at Evan's sleepover. So my brother and my friend and I were all hanging out, kind of like in the rec room and it's two walls of windows in that room, so we're all there playing video games, whatever. I go downstairs in the basement to use the bathroom, and in the bathroom there's this little window up top, and as I'm going to the bathroom I hear like rustling of like leaves or like branches, kind of sounding like somebody's walking outside. I'm like oh, that's weird and thinking it's probably a squirrel or something right. But then I see legs walking past the window. Oh, so I freak out. So I run upstairs and I tell my brother and my friend I'm like oh, oh, my God, there was somebody walking past the window. And my brother's like there absolutely wasn't. Like you were hearing things. It could have been an animal. I'm like that's what I thought too. But I saw legs and he's like no way. And I'm like I'm telling you I saw legs and he's like you're crazy, there were no legs Go to bed like all right, whatever.
Lina:So I go upstairs and we were going to sleep in the den and so my friend is sitting at the kitchen table and I ran upstairs to my bedroom to go put my pajamas on. Came back downstairs, I grab a glass of water, I come back to the table and there is a man standing at the window with his hands cupped around his eyes, on his face, so he could see, so he can see into the window, and he's just kind of peering from side to side looking into the kitchen. That's not creepy, right. So my friend had her head down on the table because it was really late, it was probably like two o'clock in the morning. She had her head down on the table and she was just kind of like resting, waiting for me to get done putting on my pajamas. So I get down there, I have my glass of water and I froze like I didn't know what to do.
Lina:I was probably maybe 12 years old at the time and I didn't know what to do and I just kept repeating oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. So my friend looks up at me and she's like what's wrong with you and like it was like a broken record. I just could not stop saying, oh my god, and I wasn't moving. I was like frozen in place and so's looking at me. And so now she looks over to see what I'm staring at and she sees the man in the window. So she screams. So as soon as she screams, my dad pops up. He had fallen asleep in the recliner in the room where my friend and I were going to have our sleepover. So my dad pops up. We start screaming. There's a man in the backyard. So my dad runs out the door, runs down the steps that the man was just standing on to be able to peer into the window. Oh my god my dad's chasing after him.
Lina:My brother now comes up. He's like what's going on? I was like the man that I told you. I saw when I was in the bathroom. He's outside, daddy's chasing after him, oh god. So my dad, as he's running chasing the man, he picks up an axe in the backyard because my dad chops wood for the fireplace. Oh god, I can just imagine. So my dad has a fireplace. It's like an interior and exterior fireplace, it's a double fireplace. So he has so much firewood so he was just chopping wood that day. So he picks up the axe. So now my dad's running through the backyard chasing the man with an axe. Oh my God.
Lina:My brother runs outside. There's nothing else to grab, so he grabs his hockey sticks. So my brother's got two hockey sticks. He's running through the backyard. He's running through the backyard. My dad's running through the backyard with an ax. This man's taken off my mom's at work. So now I call the police, right, I'm like I don't know what to do. I'm like this man was like stalking us. He was peering into the house. I'm like my dad's chasing him through the backyard. My dad's got an ax With an ax. No-transcript. We're sending, you know, units over.
Nikita :They're going to be on their way.
Lina:So you know, now we're all freaking out. So the units come over, we start talking to them, my dad gives you know his information, my brother him and so like, all right, if you see anything else you know, call us. So now I'm so scared Like I don't want to go to sleep at night. So my genius plan in case this man comes back and like breaks into the house was I had a bottle of Windex and I had a knife. So my plan was I was going to spray him in his eyes with the Windex so he couldn't see, and then I was to stab him because the man was huge and I was like 12 years old, you know, I was like a little girl, um, and the way that I could best describe him was he looked like Mr Clean, like shiny, bald head, very big and muscular, tight white t-shirt and he had the little hoop earring in his ear, like just like Mr Clean, except he wasn't as old as Mr Clean, mr Clean, I don't know, it's probably like in his 50s, I have no idea.
Lina:This guy was maybe like in his late 20s, mid 30s, maybe, maybe. So a couple weeks later my parents were at a wedding and my brother and I were in the house alone and I was doing the dishes and I had this gigantic pot my mom had just made like a big thing of like tomato sauce. And I'm washing this huge pot and all of a sudden you hear like a clinking on the window Same window in the kitchen and I look over and it's the same guy with a knife tapping the knife on the window. Like I could still hear the sound to this day in my head and I remember screaming and taking the pot and like throwing it and running, and so my brother sees him and I was like, don't go outside. Don't go outside, cause now I'm freaked out because my dad's not here.
Lina:Um, so we had to call the cops back. So now that this is like multiple times that this happened, they sent a sketch artist to the house, so we do a whole sketch of what the man looks like you told them he looked like Mr Queen, I did.
Lina:He looked just like Mr Queen, and they said that was actually really helpful. So they draw a sketch of the man and they were like you know, this could be one of two people that we're aware of. So both of them are neighboring towns, but basically one of them was just kind of like a peeping Tom, who they said wasn't really like armed or dangerous and just likes to peer in and watch people Weird, weird but I guess, not dangerous. And the other one, from the other town over, was basically known to like be armed and dangerous and dangerous and actually like inflict harm on people. So they didn't know which of the two it was, but being that the person had a knife that they were tapping on the window, they were guessing it was the other guy, unless the peeping Tom could have escalated his patterns and, you know, become more dangerous.
Lina:I don't know. Um. So that was the second time it happened. The third time I'm down in um, the rec room, which is the room that has the windows on all sides, yeah, and I'm playing video games and I was talking to like my seventh grade boyfriend on the phone.
Nikita :Oh, your love so cute.
Lina:I still remember his name. So we're on the phone and we're talking and I just remember being like, oh my God, he's back and he's like who? And I was like the man, the. So he was walking past all the windows and I can see him walking the legs again. Well, I can actually see his whole body, oh, okay, the whole body. I was in the basement, so only the basement window is a small window, so in this room there are just regular windows across the whole. So I see him walking across towards the door. So I run up to make sure the door is locked and everything, all the doors are locked. I'm running to all the doors, we call the cops. Again, the cops get there, they see him, but they don't get him.
Lina:So it was like three in a row and this was probably within a matter of maybe two months or so. Oh, wow. So now at this point, they would actually have patrol units that would follow me when I would walk to and from school, because this had happened over the summer initially, but now this has gotten into the new school year. So now I think I'm in seventh grade at this point, um, and so sometimes, when I would walk to or from school. There would just be like cop cars that would just drive around and make sure that I was okay, because we didn't know what the hell was going on. So, um, couple months later, I would do music lessons in the next town over, and so my dad would drop me off and then he would pick me up two hours later. So my dad dropped me off this one day he leaves to go back. I didn't have a cell phone, right, we didn't have cell phones back in the day.
Lina:Yeah, it's not like it is today, yeah, so I get up to the door and the music school was closed. Just a reminder, we're closed this week and I'm like great. So I was going to use one of the phones and one of the businesses next to me to call my dad. Give him at least 15 minutes to get home, so he'd be there and he doesn't have a cell phone either. So, as I'm sitting outside waiting, I'm on a bench and this couple is walking and holding hands and I'm sitting there with my music books on my lap and I look over and I'm like, oh my God, I'm like that's the guy, oh God. And then it clicks my music lesson during the town that they said the guy that's armed and dangerous is from. So I'm sitting there and now I'm freaking out and I'm like, what am I going to do? What am I going to do?
Lina:Now it starts pouring, raining, and I'm sitting on this park bench on the side of the road, yeah, and they're walking towards me. So now I pick up my music books, right, so I have them like in front of my face and over my head for cover, so like to protect myself from the rain and protect my face so he doesn't see me. So I'm not looking, I'm not looking. I know they must be approaching me and they must be close. And all of a sudden I hear what are you doing? Why are you stopping? And I'm like, oh my God, the man had stopped in front of me with this girl who he was holding hands with, and he was like what are you doing? Let's go, let's go. And he was like oh, I just thought I saw somebody that I knew. I got up, I ran so fast into the little store that was next to the music school and I shut the door and I locked the door and now the store is like what are you doing?
Nikita :what are you doing?
Lina:and I'm like, oh my god, I've been stalked for a couple months and I'm like telling him the whole story and he must think I'm absolutely crazy right. So, like he's getting me towels to dry me off because I'm soaking wet and I'm crying and I'm a hot mess, and we eventually use his phone to call my dad to come get me, why didn't we call the police? Um, I guess I wasn't even thinking at that point. I think the guy was just like you know, we need to find your parents.
Lina:I think he maybe also didn't want to get stuck with this little girl that's like crying and soaking wet and calling the cops Like well, like what are you doing with her? I don't know. I don't know that any of us were thinking in that moment. I was really scared, um, so understandably. So, yeah, so the cops weren't called the final time. I guess also too, like it had always happened in my hometown. So I never thought of calling the cops in that. So wait, did the guy ever get caught? Never got caught.
Lina:But one of my really good friends ended up working in the police department in the town where I grew up and so she had checked and it was still like an open case. They still had the file and everything. Yeah, she's like, no, I found it. She's like you're right, she's like. I looked at the sketch and was that? So I wonder if he's dead. So you know, it's really weird.
Lina:So maybe 10 years after that I was in another surrounding town and I went into this Mexican restaurant and when I walked in I saw this guy and it just really gave me flashbacks. I don't know whether or not it was actually him, right, because it had been 10 years. Very well, could not have been, but bald men just kind of gave me like serious trauma after that for a while. I got over it eventually, but I walked in and I saw this man who looked just like him, like I said could have been, could have not been turned around. I was like we need to leave and I was with my ex-husband at the time and he's like why? I was like we just have to leave. Just trust me, we have to leave. And it was just like this like triggering response that kind of freaked me out. Yeah, he would have thought he would have saw your response and been like all right, somewhere else, bro. Yeah, um, so that was my crazy story. That's nuts, is that nuts?
Nikita :did I ever tell you the story? No, I never heard that one.
Lina:That was a new one yeah, it's a good story, but that was me at 12 years old Windex and a knife. Yeah, I slept with that Windex and that knife by my bedside for probably about a year really. Oh, I was ready, somebody was gonna come. That was my, my plan. Did your mom think?
Lina:you were nuts oh, totally thought I was nuts okay she still, she still does but you know my Big Fat Creek Wedding where they talk about like how they put Windex on everything. I just seen that movie. I'm like Windex, it's gonna work, it's gonna be great. Like it works on pimples. It'll work to blind somebody, right, it works on pimples. Oh my God.
Nikita :I can't, I can't. Oh my God, that's so funny.
Lina:Yeah, so that's my almost intruder story. He kept trying to break into the house and to this day, I probably shouldn't say this, but my parents still keep their doors unlocked. I'm like what are you doing? Yeah, why? Yeah, especially in the town they live in. Yeah, it's not a good place.
Nikita :I mean they live in a really nice section of the town. Yes, A hundred percent, but it's still crazy stuff.
Lina:Yeah, and my parents are older, you know, obviously, and you know I'm sure they wouldn't be as keen on hearing something as I would be at this point. You know, like picking up on somebody walking outside, they probably wouldn't think twice about it, Probably wouldn't even hear it. Yeah, I was going to say I don't know that they'd even hear it. Plus, they have two dogs that are like four pounds each, and one of the dogs is deaf, so that's definitely not going to help them.
Nikita :Yeah, that's the other one. Um well, so samba's the red one.
Lina:She's the aussie doodle, so she's like my kaya yeah yeah yeah, and the deaf one's the white one, that's cha-cha so it's the aussie doodle.
Nikita :That's the the rat looking one.
Lina:You think she looks like a rat yes, yeah, I just think she's the size of a rat.
Nikita :I don't think she looks like a rat oh, I think she looks like a rat with a really small tail though she's cute, though, yeah, she's got a little nubby tail.
Lina:Yeah, that's my girl. Yeah.
Nikita :Where is?
Lina:Kaya. Okay, so I bought a brand new car and I don't want to put her in it. I'm a bad dog mom no-transcript. The truck yeah, I love the fact that we both bought new cars. What within like a week of each other? I think it was two weeks but yeah, yeah, yeah, that's pretty amazing. Are you loving your truck?
Nikita :I am. I enjoy it. It's smooth. It's smaller than my Tahoe, which is nice, but I have no complaints about it. Yeah, so what about you?
Lina:I love it. I it was not even on my radar. I went to the dealership to see another truck and that was in the showroom and I'm like, what is that? And then I test drove the truck that I went there to see and I was like, oh, I don't like it. And then I ended up buying the other one.
Nikita :Well, that's exciting, yeah, fun. I love it. What other new things did you get?
Lina:Anything. What other new things did I get? Oh, I tried the Stitch Fix thing again. Oh, did you? I did? Okay, so I had a Stitch Fix subscription Say that seven times fast, maybe eight years ago or so, to try it out, and I really liked it. They did a great job with my first shipment, yeah, uh, but it was just expensive, yeah, and I was like it's very expensive yeah.
Lina:I was like. So I canceled it, not for any reason other than it was just expensive, but I kept all the pieces. So now I'm trying to like add a couple of things to my wardrobe, especially since we had the purge where we went through what. I don't even know where that stuff fit. It all came out of my room. I know, yeah. I know yeah, I was there. It was very impressive the amount of stuff that came out.
Nikita :The best, though was throwing the bags. My kids Over the banister when we were throwing the bags. They loved that. Yeah, that was so much fun. I loved it. Did you get rid of all those bags?
Lina:yeah, so my mom actually brings them to this woman who takes clothes to a shelter for women who have been abused. Oh nice, so they have kids and stuff there. So if you have kids clothes, or even you know men's clothes, they might have like older teenage sons um, they'll take everything. Oh good, okay, I take bedding and all sorts of stuff. So that was really nice. So they did get all that stuff. So, since I got rid of stuff, I said you know what, I could use a couple more pieces and I thought you know why not spring for maybe a couple of like those classy, like staple pieces that you have in your closet? So, whether it's a really great pair of jeans or a blazer or, you know, really nice work tops I need we both need tops we were talking about that we both need tops.
Lina:So I have a plethora of jeans at this point, but let's go to the mall and buy more jeans, but I do need some tops. So I said let me try the Stitch Fix thing. So I got my first box and there were five items. Of the five I loved, two kept three. It was a pair of pants and two shirts, yes, and then I sent the other two back. So I'm going to do one more box and see how that is, and then I think I'm going to try the Daily Look one. I've heard of that one.
Nikita :Yeah, I've heard about that one. I've never done that one. I too have done Stitch Fix. I did it for six, eight months at one point and then I stopped and then I picked it up again and then I stopped. It's got to be at least a year, maybe even a year and a half at this point since I've done it last. But, like you were just saying, you and I have had the conversation. We both need tops. I need more stuff for this time of the year Other than t-shirts. Yeah, same.
Lina:I have t-shirts and tank tops. I stopped buying stuff from Shein. Yeah.
Nikita :I have too.
Lina:It's just really crappy and disposable. The quality of the material itself. A lot of times the stuff is really shiny. So I'm like I'm not going to waste my money. I'd rather spend my money on a few good pieces than you know, spend the same amount of money on a few good pieces for like a ton of really shitty clothes, right? So I stopped doing that. Um so we'll see. I'm going to see how my next fix when you get your next one uh early, that's Friday, friday the 13th, dun dun dun See what happens.
Lina:So, uh, we'll, we'll see what that box looks like. And then I think I'm going to try the daily look one so I can say I tried it. When I look at the daily look, it looks like they do a lot more like full outfits as opposed to just pieces, okay. So I think that's kind of cool too, because I work in the fashion industry and and I really know how to put full outfits together like that. So I think that might be kind of fun. Yeah, but you work behind the scenes in the fashion industry.
Nikita :Yeah, it's kind of my job to not be seen. I was going to say you don't really need to be fashion forward in your specific line of work.
Lina:Yeah, but I like to you know still, when you go to the office everybody's like all branded out and their stuff. So I like to look nice and lift the part.
Nikita :Meanwhile, I to work in leggings and a sweatshirt. Man, there are days that I wish I could do that. It is nice, Although there are days where I actually get dressed too. I had gone out Friday night, so I wore jeans and a bodysuit, and I brought my jacket with me, which I wound up not needing because it was way warmer than I expected it to be, Even where I had gone it was.
Nikita :I thought it was going to be cold in the building, not even a little bit. I was like, oh, I didn't need that, yeah. But here we are.
Lina:Yeah, I have um tomorrow I actually have to head into the office for work. I have a um NYPD conference oh fun. At uh 1PP, actually their uh police headquarters. So, just like things like that. I just want to wear like a black suit and a white shirt and look like all the female detectives that go there, but I also don't want to look like I'm, you know, a fashionista either, but I want to have just like something nice and professional that's not always just like a plain B6 suit, right, you know. So I want to have those nice pieces.
Nikita :Yeah, put yourself together.
Lina:But also comfortable because you've got to commute and you know walking around the city.
Nikita :Now. Is this at the office or do you have to go into the city tomorrow? This is in the city. This is at police headquarters.
Lina:Oh, okay.
Nikita :Okay, gotcha. Yeah, I have to go to work tomorrow. I will be in the office like I am every day of the week.
Lina:So you don't feel bad that I have to go into the city tomorrow, not even a little bit.
Nikita :Such a jerk work before you're even awake. Yeah.
Lina:I don't like the morning. I feel like 5 should never have the letters AM after it Ever.
Nikita :I think it was 4 AM.
Lina:That's stupid. Tell me about it. See, maybe that's why the guy was knocking on your door at 4 AM. He just wanted to make sure you were getting up for work.
Nikita :He didn't realize it was weekend, it was a Saturday.
Lina:He didn't realize.
Nikita :Maybe he had too much to drink. He was whacked out on something. Yeah, he was talking, like the cop said to me. He was like, yeah, he was talking about Wiccan stuff and I'm like what?
Lina:Okay, so he's like putting a spell on your house Apparently. Ooh, maybe we should sage your house.
Nikita :Have you ever done that? No, I don't believe in that. That and like crystals don't get into that either. No, no, I know you like the whole psychic thing yeah.
Lina:I think it's cool. I've had a couple experiences, though, that like blew my mind that I'm like there's no way that they would know if there wasn't something more to it. I mean like very specifics, with like initials or names or dates, like very, very specific things. So I definitely believe that there's something there, that there's something there, but I don't know, I don't do like the crystals and the rocks and all that stuff.
Nikita :Yeah, I don't do any of that, Although I went out yesterday and bought new furniture and then I had. That's always exciting, oh I cannot wait.
Lina:Congratulations. Oh, thank you, I can't wait to get it all.
Nikita :It doesn't come until July, but that's a whole other story. I need to pick a new color for this room. I need to pick a new color for my bedroom and eventually, for the kitchen dining room area. Okay, because I bought a new living room set, a new bedroom set and a new kitchen and dining room set. Ballin' much A little bit.
Nikita :I love it. You know what it needed to be done. It needed to be done. I mean my stuff. I know you haven't noticed it, but it's hanging in by a thread at this point.
Lina:I remember when you got this couch that we're sitting on.
Nikita :It's ten years old, if not more.
Lina:No way. Oh yeah, it's not, because your little one was eight months old when I met you and I remember you getting this couch, so then it's got to be at least eight years old Seven, six and a half. I'm going with six and a half Okay. Old seven, six and a half. I'm going with six and a half. Okay, it's more than that.
Nikita :Yeah, but no, it still looks good, I mean you keep it covered and stuff too.
Lina:Yeah, it's covered probably helps the dog oreo you never met oreo no, I, oh no, I didn't meet oreo.
Nikita :You didn't meet oreo she was a fucking maniac, that dog. She ate a hole through the ottoman. She ate a hole through the ottoman. She ate a hole through my cushions. Yeah, she's a jerk. Good times, she's cute.
Lina:Yeah, stupid dog. I remember when you got the cat yeah, I was like I'm not coming over anymore. You can come over my house.
Nikita :Toby didn't like the cat. Toby did not like the cat. Yeah, kaya doesn't do cats either.
Lina:Yeah, I don't blame them. Like why would you bring a little tiger in the house? I mean, this is why I like to send you cat videos. There's no reason to bring a tiger into the house. It's scary. I've also been attacked by cats, just not my jam you ever been attacked by it a bird. No, I don't know where she's going with this one, sorry guys.
Nikita :I was gonna say have you ever been attacked by a cock? And then I was like no, don't say it.
Lina:Nikita, sorry, we're going to have to put a disclaimer on this video today. Have you ever been attacked by a chicken?
Nikita :No, rooster, no, yeah, I have.
Lina:I do have a good story about a chicken, though. So one of my friends who I met she became my friend, turns out she was the wife of my boyfriend at the time Did not know, that's fun. So we decided we were going to get together and discuss all the things and we were at a petting zoo and were we petting animals? We were okay, and how old are we?
Nikita :oh, I was like in my 20s oh, because that's what we do in our 20s.
Lina:Um, well, I figured if we were like in a public place, place, she wouldn't kill me. Okay, I'll give you that. Um, and this chicken fell into this barrel of water and the chicken started like drowning. And if you know me, you know I don't do birds either. Yes, I do not do birds. Um, and I started freaking out and screaming and crying and I was like you have to do something.
Lina:And she's like what do you want me to do? I'm like you have to save the chicken and I'm crying. And she's like what do I do? And I'm like I don't know, save the chicken. So she, she's my hero. She put her hand into I was your hero. Well, you're my hero for saving babies and children. She's my hero Holding fitted sheets. Yes, for saving chickens. So she put her arm into this wet barrel and she pulled this chicken out by its neck and she brought this chicken back to life. Um, and I was so impressed by her. I would not have saved the chicken. I wouldn't have saved the chicken either, but I was crying. I would not have saved the chicken. The chicken's gonna die.
Nikita :No, just save the chicken's life. I was. I was pregnant with my first one. I was like eight months pregnant and we were at my baby shower and my girlfriend oh, why don't we go outside and take pictures? I was like, okay, great, so we go outside and we go and take pictures. Fucking chicken Tacks me out of nowhere, just comes up to me and starts fucking, pecking my foot. I'm like what is going on? No idea why.
Lina:So when I was little, maybe like five, my dad took my brother and I uh, down to the park. They had like a lake and we were feeding the ducks. My dad had like a whole sleeve of crackers and so we were feeding all the ducks and I guess everything was fine. And I was down to my last cracker and I guess there was a specific duck that I wanted to give this cracker to and another one came up to me and I wouldn't give him the cracker and the duck just bit it right off my hand. Maybe that was the start of me not liking birds possibility bit by a duck for my damn cracker speaking of animals, I went to go pick up my groceries today.
Nikita :Okay, so I'm driving down the highway right, minding my own business and I'm like, oh, there's something in the road. As I get like this far from it, realize it's a turtle, oh, I was like the poor turtle, and then you did nothing. First of all, I was doing 55 down this road right and there was people behind me so I couldn't just stop short to save the turtle, which I would have saved the turtle.
Lina:You could have pulled over and put your hazards on, and then you could have blocked traffic and slowed everybody down and stopped them. And then you could have gotten a boy to pick up the turtle, because I wouldn't pick it up either that's something my ex-husband would have done.
Nikita :He legit would have stopped and saved the turtle. See, I know he's done that before. He's a good man he is.
Lina:He is. No, he's a good guy. I have nothing bad to say about him. Did he come yet? No, but I also haven't asked him yet either. Oh, okay, but I know that he's busy and he's got other side jobs and he's doing stuff. Yeah, and I still need to get rid of the dresser in that room and get the like a rug that I need to roll up and I have a bookcase that needs to move. So I have some prep stuff that I have stuff I need to do. Yeah, I don't want to do it. Look at us with, like all our life changes, painting and redoing rooms and buying new cars. It's like we're shedding the old Right, like that, saying they say, when a woman changes her hair, she's about to change her life, okay, but paint stuff and changes rooms and buys new things too. Life changer, game changer, right, yeah, what are we going to do? This summer's like almost here in full force. Dude, my kids leave in two weeks.
Lina:That's crazy it's wild, I'm like what two weeks are we gonna get into shenanigans? I?
Nikita :don't know what I'm doing this summer. I'm excited we will go down the shore at some point.
Lina:Yeah, definitely, because that's what we do. Do you hear your dog snoring always when he sleeps? I love how you got him a new bed and he said Nope, I'm going to sleep on the ottoman instead.
Nikita :Yeah we're going to have a little conversation about that.
Lina:I think you just need to lay in his new bed with him.
Nikita :I think I'm just going to put the blanket on his new bed and put the ottoman up on its side and let him figure it out and eventually he'll just transition with that. I'm not getting in that dog bed with him. Oh, that sounds like a good plan. He doesn't even get in my bed with me. Yeah, nor will he get in my bed with me. I don't want him in my bed. Your bed's also really high. My new bed won't be very high, oh, no, no, it'll be a normal height. Okay, why is that bed so high?
Lina:Because I store a lot of junk underneath my bed. Oh, so you just purposely like jack it stuff? Nope, sure don't. So you're just going to start a purge.
Nikita :I'm going to not have stuff under my bed. I don't know where I'm going to put all the things, oh wait.
Lina:Where are we putting the things that are under your?
Nikita :bed. I don't know. I don't know where all the things are going to go. We need to find a good hiding spot. Yeah, I know, find somewhere to put the things. Yeah, so I got some books under there that actually the books that are under there. I don't want to keep under there, obviously so, but so I love the new bed that I got, so I have to show you a picture of it I think I sent you a picture of it, so it has like wooden, with like the shelves on the side.
Nikita :yeah, so it has all those the shelving on the side. So I think I'm gonna put those books that are under my bed, that are in my Louis, that you had a heart attack about, on one of the shelves, and then I want to go to HomeGoods and get fake plants, because I kill plants. That's what I did. Yeah, I got mine from Kohl's.
Nikita :I put some of those on the shelves and figured it out. Yeah, so I've got to figure out what color I want to paint things, though I don't know what color I want to paint everything.
Lina:Yeah.
Lina:So, well, that's always the exciting part, though Getting to pick out like new finishings and stuff. So I'm turning the spare bedroom in my house. So my spare bedroom used to be where my foster kids would sleep Um, so my foster kids got adopted. Um, so my foster kids got adopted. I'm not fostering. Um, my daughter will be 18 in less than a year, which is wild, absolutely crazy. So I'm turning that spare bedroom into an office. So right now I just kind of work out of my kitchen, my living room, my basement. I have a desk set up.
Nikita :I sit on my couch and work from my couch. Let's be real, sometimes I do, I don't. I go to the office every day like normal human beings, like peasants.
Lina:Seriously. But I usually end up at my kitchen counter. I'm like I just really want like a regular setup where I have my mouse, I have my keyboard, I have my monitors, I have my printer, I have everything set up in one place and I'm not running down to like air print something and send it to my phone and then send it from my phone to my. It's just too much work. So I'm turning that spare bedroom into my office, which I'm really excited about. So I got this amazing day bed that has a trundle underneath, so I still have the two matches. So when my kids come to visit, I still have a place for them to stay. Of course, um, but it's not taking up so much of the room. Oh which, um.
Nikita :I might have to stay by your place with Toby, okay, after my children leave, okay.
Lina:Are we renting your house?
Nikita :No, we're going to get rid of all the things so we can paint. Oh sorry, that was like totally random, I know no, but I was. I was talking about it yesterday. I was like I'm getting new furniture. It makes sense to um refresh everything. So then I was, I was talking to my significant other and I was like, oh well, then I'm either gonna have to stay by lena's house or I'm gonna have to stay by your place, yeah. And then I was like but I got toby, I'll go to lena's because toby and kai bear, yeah, can have a sleepover for however long we stay. Yeah, absolutely.
Lina:I don't know why we just don't live together this whole two mortgages thing, yeah, well, you know, yeah, kind of ridiculous. That would be fun.
Nikita :Sell your place. Could you imagine it would be easier to sell your place than for me to sell mine?
Lina:Yeah, but I feel like I have more space because of, like, because of the three levels yeah, absolutely yeah, and the basement I have the extra room too.
Nikita :How many square feet are you? Like 22. Oh, you're definitely bigger because I'm 17, 18.
Lina:Yeah, Well, because I have the whole basement, yes, you know. And then I also have an extra bathroom, so more people can be pooping at the same time.
Nikita :But you only have two showers right Two showers.
Lina:Two showers right, but I have a half bath so actually people can be pooping. Yeah, I have two full baths.
Nikita :But that's an interesting situation, because the bathroom in my room the master, I use it and your kids use it too, and my kids use it too, yeah, when they have a perfectly good bathroom in the hallway that they need to use for themselves, but you don't make them use it. Oh, I tell them all the time get out of my bathroom, go on your own, but. But I don't want to hear it. You have your own bathroom, go, yeah. Get out, yeah, go, yeah, but but your bathroom's nicer. I'm like, yes, because it got redone. Yeah, so I need to talk to your significant other about that. I need, I need to reach out to him. But you know, I just spent all that money on the furniture, so we're going to hold off on that one.
Lina:There's always something I feel like you know. You get a bonus and you have a payment to make. You get an extra payment that month because it just happens to be three paychecks that month and something happens with your car. There's always something that happens. Where are you getting free paycheck? I?
Nikita :get a paycheck every week.
Lina:I get paid every other week like most normal people.
Nikita :Oh no, I get paid every week. It's a great thing.
Lina:My last job I got paid every week, but this job almost every other job, because it's so expensive to do payroll every week. So companies save money doing payroll every other week as opposed to doing it every week.
Nikita :I've never been at a job that I didn't get paid every week.
Lina:Well, that's because you've been at your job for 57 years.
Nikita :I wish it was 57 years, because then I wouldn't be working anymore. But you've been there forever. I have. I've been there 20. 21 years, 20 years yeah God, that's a long time.
Lina:Yeah, so you've been there like most of your adult life.
Nikita :Yeah, it's been my one career job and then before that I worked in retail. But even when I worked in retail I got paid weekly Really.
Lina:Yeah, no more people get paid every other week because it's cheaper to do payroll that way as opposed to paying to have the payroll done every week, and we have a lot of people on payroll. But we always get excited when I say we, I mean those of us that get paid every other week when the payday falls on like a friday, when there's three fridays in the month, because you end up getting an extra paycheck that month, gotcha, which is nice but then something always happens where it's like you know, oh yeah, but it goes right out the window, yep, every single time hate.
Nikita :When that can we talk? Speaking of not related to anything we're just talking about, I don't. It just popped into my brains.
Lina:Um, the weather lately yes, how craptastic it's been so I always say like we live in a state where you have to be able to adjust for four seasons in one day. It's like you never know what's gonna happen. So there are days like what was that? Like 96 degrees or something, it was so hot the other day. And then you have days where it just rains.
Nikita :It's been raining, I feel like for seven years. Yeah, it's been a lot of rain and I have a feeling this summer is going to suck ass and it's going to be one of those summers where it rains Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Lina:See, I feel like it's going to be one of those things where it rains Friday, Saturday, Sunday yeah, it's going to ruin our summer A hundred percent. It's like I have summer Fridays, so I have half days on Fridays, which is great, but of course it's going to rain when it's all my free time.
Nikita :Yeah, I was saying you know, I feel like it's going to be that summer where, like you just said, it's going to rain every friggin' weekend, like I'm just going to wind up taking days off because I'm not going to go to the beach.
Lina:Yeah, Like I can't not go to the beach. Yeah, no, for sure, I think we're going to have to just work that into, even if it's, like you know, a Friday or whatever Thursday. Whatever you want to do, we'll figure it out. Um, but yesterday, speaking of the weather, it was supposed to thunderstorm.
Nikita :It turned out to be halfway.
Lina:It was hot, it was humid. Yes, so I was actually at a charity softball game yesterday. I was a cheerleader, had a whole cheerleading squad. Um, my cheerleading squad was anywhere between like three to five decades older than me. This is so much fun. I have pictures I will have to show you. Okay, um, but the weather kept saying that it was going to thunderstorm, so of course I brought an umbrella. So I probably broke the umbrella out about five different times and put it away, because the range kept coming and going and coming and going, but thankfully there was no like crazy heavy downpour or lightning or thunder like they were calling for, but it kept getting so muggy afterwards.
Nikita :Oh, it was gross, yeah, yeah, because when we went to the furniture store it was raining and then we came out and it was just humid and gross and we had to go to a couple other stores. It was terrible, yeah.
Lina:I'm over it.
Nikita :I'm ready for summer to be here, and then even today it was supposed to rain. It was nice this morning, like blue skies. I was like, oh, this is not a very rainy day and now it looks like it's overcast out, looks like it's gonna rain, but it wasn't a day that you could go and do something. Yeah, I can't. And and it's june, it's june, it's almost technically the summer.
Lina:Yeah, yeah, it's weird, also like memorial day weekend. I feel like the last five memorial day weekends have sucked weather-wise.
Nikita :I don't remember. I know obviously this past Memorial Day weekend was craptastic, but I don't remember last year or the year before. They've been crappy for the last few.
Lina:And I feel, like you know, living where we live, memorial Day weekend is like the official start of summer for us. So, even though it's not, like you know, june 21st or whatever in the calendar, it's like the start of our summer. Memorial day, it's a labor day, right, it's our summer, um, but we really haven't had any great weekends, which I'm not upset about when it comes to traffic, given where we live. Everybody passes right by us to go down the shore, we're on the way, so traffic on fridays sucks, yeah, that's why we just kind of kind of figure out our lives and maybe put on the traffic this past friday was horrendous getting on the main road, the turnpike, because where I work you know we have to get on the turnpike to come home.
Nikita :We must have lost 35, 40 minutes just trying to get on the turnpike. It was stupid. And then you know, you get to one specific point and it opens up and you're like, well, what the hell, why was there? There was no, there was no accident, there was was no cops, there was nothing.
Lina:Why it's so frustrating. I would love to just get in a helicopter and sit up there and see Where's the traffic. Why is there traffic? Why is it slowing down there? Oh, it's that asshole right there. And then get on one of those loudspeakers and yell at them. I always wanted one of those horns that had the buttons. We're gonna be like move over, asshole. You're going too slow. You know. We're like by the way your light's out, you know.
Nikita :And like let people know, get out of the fast lane. Yeah, don't drive in the left lane you jerk, right, I can't.
Lina:I think it's fun, like when, uh, I came by your house when we went to the concert, yes, and I used a little speaker dude.
Nikita :I I was like, oh god, here we go. I was like I don't know her she's not with me.
Lina:Oh, you definitely claim me, you know you love me.
Nikita :You were being such a jerk.
Lina:That day I'm being a jerk you were such a jerk I don't even remember what did I do what did I do we get to?
Nikita :oh, my eyeball.
Lina:We got to the parking lot and the girl that parked next to me, oh yeah alright, nikita, you tell everybody and let's let everybody that's listening or watching decide who was the jerk, please me, or the girl that was parked in two fucking parking spots?
Nikita :I'm not saying she, but you just kept going on. I'm like, stop being a jerk, stop, okay. First, of all when we left cause, because I left before you and we get to the car and she's still there and I take a picture and I'm like, oh, your best friend's still here.
Lina:Okay, you get a brand new Range Rover or something. You want to park in two spots so nobody fucking touches your $100,000 car. I can see it You're driving a 1992 Volvo station wagon that was made before you were fucking born. Get your car out of the two fucking spots. Before I get you out of the car and make you move it with your hands, bro, like really, I don't know, that shit just fucking irked me. Plus, like you're in a, you're in a VIP lot where you're paying like I don't know six people. We don't pay for parking. I was going to say we weren't paying for parking. We had this conversation, we didn't. But like you're paying like $60 for a fucking spot. Like, bro, we all know your 17-year-old ass didn't pay $122 for those two spots with tax, or have some upstanding citizens that accompany us.
Lina:That's why, yeah, when you save people's lives for a living, you get free parking spots. I mean like it's the least you can do.
Nikita :Is that what it is? Yeah, it's totally what it is. You were so funny, though I was like stop being a jerk, Stop being a jerk.
Lina:I mean, I feel like she was a jerk. I feel like we should do a poll and find out if she was a jerk or I was a jerk. I think you both were being jerks. I think she was the jerk and I was just reacting. And I wouldn't have been a jerk if it weren't for what she did. You know, you can't base my reaction to her action, because if there was no action, there would have been no reaction.
Nikita :But her actions had nothing to do or no impact on you. They did.
Lina:Maybe I wanted to move the car there. Maybe I was uncomfortable in my spot and I wanted to move because the sun was beaming on me and I wanted to be on the other side in that spot.
Nikita :It wasn't even sunny out. Well, it could have been.
Lina:I'm a lot fairer skinned than you are, nikita. All right.
Nikita :I know we had this conversation already. It was a good concert. So dark, so dark, I miss that tan, I miss that tan. It was a good concert. I came out. So dark, so dark, I missed that tan, I missed that tan. It was a good concert. It was a good concert.
Nikita :So, as you know, it was the girls' first major concert and it was my oldest birthday present, which, when I gave her her present, I gave her a card. She ripped it open and I was recording her. She's like, no, don't record me. And then she opens the present and she realized what it was and her little face just lit up and she started crying. Yeah, oh, she was so excited. So we get to the concert and we obviously weren't sitting with each other. But so we're sitting watching the show and luke bryan comes on and it was my oldest, me youngest, my other half and my youngest was standing on the seats because she's so little and you know it's the seats where they flip up. Yeah, so Luke Bryan starts singing and my oldest starts hysterically crying and she grabs me and I look at her and she's crying.
Nikita :Lena, I was like, oh my God, what is going on? So I tell my little one I'm like is going on. So I tell my little one I'm like, hold on, let me figure out. I'm like, boo, what's going on? Why are we crying? Are these happy tears? Are these sad tears? Like you got to give me something here because I don't know what's wrong. I'm like, are they happy tears? And she couldn't even get a word. I'm like I, are you happy we're here? She's like yes, this is the best birthday present ever. So cute, so cute, so cute. But yeah, she, she. So she, she hears all the songs she wanted to hear.
Nikita :My little one's over here. She's like mom, is he going to play play it again? I'm like, yes, he's going to play, play it again. And I said it's one of his staple songs. Of course he's going to play it. I just want to hear her play it again. And all the other songs come on and she's like pouting. So now she's sitting playing on her phone, pouting. So I said to my other half I'm like, listen. I said I'm waiting for him to play it again and then we can leave. He's like, are you sure he's going to play it it? I'm like, yes, he's gonna play it. It's massive song. Yeah, so he played I forget what song it was, whatever song it was and then play it again came on and her little face lit up and she just bounced right up singing along to it.
Nikita :The song ends and I said to the girls because it'd be like 10 45 and I was like listen. I said, do you guys want to stay? I said the concert was gonna be over in 15 minutes because you know how they only play till 11. Or do you want to leave? And they both look at me and they're like can we go home? Because they'd been up since six o'clock in the morning. It was quarter to 11. At that point I was like, yes, we can go home.
Nikita :So we start walking, we get up to like the concession area and they both stopped me and they're like mom, we want to stay, but we're so tired. Oh, I'm like, guys, it's okay, we can leave, you're not gonna be mad at us. No, I'm not gonna be mad. So it's, it's been a long day, I understand, it's okay, we can go. So we walk out to the car and it just starts like spitting rain. I'm like, oh, we're just getting out of here in time. Did it rain? Because it started raining when we were driving home. Did you guys get stuck in that walking or no? No, oh, okay, yeah, fine, but she lost her mind crying. Aw, that's cute?
Lina:Yeah, it was cute. I remember my daughter's first concert. It was also at the same venue and she had who did you take her to see? Come with me. Well, so we were going to Blake Shelton. I had tickets to gets to go to lake shelton and I just asked if she wanted to come with me. I just bought two tickets and was planning on anything and I just asked her.
Lina:She was probably about, uh, seven or eight years old and, uh, when we were, we were like kind of waiting in the area where we had parked and we were going like getting the chairs out of the uh trunk to bring, because you used to be able to bring your own chairs and lawn seats. Oh yeah, and um, there was this couple that was like, oh no, no, they actually changed the rules this year, you can't bring chairs. And we're like what? And they're like, yeah, no, you can't bring chairs. I'm like no way. So I was going to walk to put the chairs back and, um, my daughter asked like, yeah, we'll keep an eye on her. You know no big deal, and I mean she wasn't far, it's not like I left her with strangers. I could see her and I said, yeah, just stay here, I'll just run and put these in the thing. So I put them in, I came back and she's having a whole conversation with these people. They're like oh, you know, see, anybody who you want to say, who would you pick? And she's like Taylor Swift. And he was like oh, that's really cool.
Lina:So, as we were kind of all walking together, the guy had kind of sat back with me and he goes um, would would it be okay if I got four tickets for your daughter to see Taylor Swift? And I was like what? And he was like well, yeah, he's like, I work for a company that works with Live Nation. He's like and I can get tickets to anything. He's like the only thing is that, you know, I would really have to ask that you don't resell them. He's like cause I can get in trouble. And I'm like no, I was like I would never do that. It's impossible to get T-Swift tickets. Like there's no way.
Lina:Um, I'm like and, and at that point you know we're. And he's like absolutely, he's like how many do you want me to get? Like what do you mean? How many? He's like we want to get four so she can take a couple of her friends. Oh, I was like, are you serious? And he's like totally, and I thought it was the nicest thing. So this random couple never saw them again after that or anything. Um, the only thing that they asked is that we sent a video of them playing their I guess the love story was their favorite song, um, a video of it from the concert. So we took a video of them coming their I guess Love Story was their favorite song a video of it from the concert.
Lina:So we took a video of them playing it and a video of Maddie saying thank you with her friends and sent it to them, but had never spoken to them after that and we just got her four tickets. That was sweet. So I took my daughter and two of her friends and we went to go see Taylor Swift in Philly.
Nikita :Oh, that's fun. Speaking of Taylor Swift, you know how she just did the whole Errors tour. Yeah, so my niece, her sister, her mother, was it just the three of them? I think it was just the three of them. Might have been my other sister too, but regardless, they went to go see the Errors tour in Florida.
Nikita :So, and it was in October that they were going and I had called my niece and I'm like, hey that they were going, and I had called my niece and I'm like, hey, I said you're going to taylor swift. She's like, yeah, I go, can you do me a favor? She goes yeah, what's up? I said can you record love story for me? I said it's my little one's birthday. She's begging me to go see her. Couldn't get tickets, not that I was gonna pay a thousand dollars a ticket anyway. I said, but if you can just record that one song, she's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it. She sent me a perfectly recorded video of it and I gave it to the little one for her. She was like this is the best birthday ever. Aww, there we go.
Lina:Then, after we left, the Luke Bryan concert she's like a lot of people are doing for Taylor Swift because price gouging is such a serious thing here in the US. But it's legal. It's not legal in other countries, I know. So people are actually taking full-on vacations and going to see her in, like Germany or wherever.
Nikita :Speaking of when, last summer, when I was in Europe and I was in I think we were in Germany at the time, actually. Yeah, I think we were in Germany. We left the day before she was playing Smart no, not even intentionally, we didn't realize it at the time and we were looking for things to do and I happened to look at concerts in the area of where we were staying and I'm like Mother F, I said babe, we could have went and seen Taylor Swift. He's like I would have went too, just because of the experience. You know, you're in another country. Go see Taylor Swift. He's like I totally would have went. I was like it's a three hour concert, you would have went. He's like, yeah, can we extend?
Lina:Yeah, but people are actually getting flights and hotels and meals and everything for cheaper and the Taylor Swift tickets than cheaper than just the tickets are here, oh yeah, which is insanity. It's like. I hope somebody does something about that, because it's sad that there's so many fans that want to see tickets and people are taking advantage of it and reselling tickets and it's crazy. Nobody that actually wants to go is able to go, and so many different corporations get tickets for these things that they just kind of give them away, and it's sad for the kids that actually want to go see their idol I saw taylor swift years ago, like when one of her first I want to say it was during her Fearless tour, so she was still relatively new my mom and I went.
Nikita :She put on a good show back then. I can only imagine Like I saw the Heiress tour on Disney+. Yeah, looks like it was a great show, yeah.
Lina:Yeah, we saw her. I believe it was a Reputation tour in Philly.
Nikita :Well, that's cool. Yeah, I like T Swift. Yeah, I like T Swift.
Lina:Yeah, I like her music.
Nikita :She's due for a new album soon.
Lina:Yeah, I feel like we haven't heard anything really new out of her right.
Nikita :What came?
Lina:out 22? There's something that was just on the other day on the radio from her.
Nikita :I don't remember, but the Tortured Poets Department was her most recent, which was in April. I think she dropped that. She was still touring, yeah, which is wild to think about. You know, she's doing these three hour tours and making a new album. It was a double album too.
Lina:Yeah, that's crazy, crazy I want to be like her when I grow up. You're older than her, doesn't matter, okay, I'm still not crowded, okay did you see?
Nikita :there was like pregnancy rumors sparked she was wearing she? She went out with I don't know one of her friends, whoever. I just happened to see it on facebook or whatever, but she was wearing a gucci outfit. Oh yeah, yeah, and she looked, and it was funny because I remember thinking to myself, oh, she looks pregnant, whatever, like. It was like one of those fleeting thoughts. And then, like the next day, I saw something like taylor swift sparks pregnancy rumors.
Lina:I'm like I thought she looked pregnant too. Was it just like an empire wasted?
Nikita :like, yeah, it just wasn't a flattering yeah outfit at all on her, which is probably all it was.
Lina:I don't think she's pregnant so have you seen all those pictures of, like, ariana grande where they showed her like before and now? I guess one of the recent things that she went to and the dress that she was wearing, the way they styled her hair and what she looks like now? And they were saying, like why does she look so completely like a different human being than she did before? No, all right, I'm going to have to find it and send it to you.
Lina:I thought the same thing too, because I saw her and I'm like, wow, Well, she did lose a lot of weight too. Yes, yeah, she got really, really thin. But and was that for wicked? I don't know, I'm not sure, just in general. It was like some award show that she was going to. I don't know if it was like the Grammys or the Academy Awards or something.
Nikita :And it was like the outfit choice that she had and the way she did looked nothing like herself. Well, that's even like um kylie jenner. Yeah, I've been seeing all kinds of articles about her and you know, owning up to all the work she's had done, and you know the boob job and this and that and the other thing. First of all, it's a woman's right to do whatever they want, but, like, get off these people's back. You know what I mean. Yes, she looks completely different, but she looks freaking beautiful. Leave the woman alone. Yeah, you know, even like chris jenner, she just had a whole face work done. Did you see all that? No, I didn't say, oh she, you know who she looks like. Now. She looks just like kim, really, oh my god, her and kim are like identical. Oh, that's, it's wild. Yeah so and then even chloe she gets a lot of a lot of hate for everything. She but woman's beautiful, yeah so crazy.
Lina:It's your own prerogative. I'm just honestly, I'm way too scared to ever think about touching my face. I do botox yeah, I love it, I don't know. I just feel like you can't hide it. If you bought something else, something else you can like put clothes over it, but your face it's there.
Nikita :I well. So I do Botox, but I don't do a lot. You know like I can still move my face. I just my face is smooth. So, yeah, I've only done it a few times, but I love it, I'm not gonna stop. Yeah, but again, I can still move my face. But again, I can still move my face. I still have emotion Motion. Well, I have emotions.
Lina:Sometimes, sometimes I have emotion, motion and emotion yes.
Nikita :Yeah Words. Look at Toby's tongue. He's so cute. He's literally snoring over there with his tongue sticking out. Yeah, just like a centimeter. I think that's a little more than a centimeter.
Lina:Yeah, okay, centimeter and a half. Have you seen that meme Speaking of people who I had worked on? It made me think of Madonna and Cher. Have you seen that meme about Madonna and Cher? And it was like, don't worry if you're still single, you could just be like Madonna and Cher. Your husband's not even born yet Because they have like boyfriends that are like 45 years younger than them.
Nikita :No, I didn't see that one. What was the one name I just sent you, though? Um, oh, I remember us both dying, laughing about it, though I don't remember because you sent me so many. I do send you a lot.
Lina:Yeah, wait, let me see if I can find it real quick I love when you kind of just look through our like social media chat history and just memes and reels back and forth.
Nikita :Yeah, I do that with you and my girlfriend Nicole at work. Yeah, oh, trust me bro. Uh, trust me, your best love of life will become your problem too. Oh, yeah.
Lina:It's so true.
Nikita :That was, that was oh, and.
Lina:Tell me, tell me, that wasn't perfect. Did you literally not just tell me Stop About nude leggings, yes, yes. And then I saw that and I sent it to you. I mean it was perfect. And I was like, oh my God, I just saw your friend in Walmart and I sent you that meme.
Nikita :I was dead. I saw that and I busted out laughing. I was like, oh my god, that's so funny. It's because I'm funny, we're jerks.
Lina:We are jerks, not us. The girl in the 1992.
Nikita :Volvo, she's a jerk. Oh god, what else you got for me? Anything.
Lina:Well, I think we should probably save some stuff for another episode, because I feel like our listeners and our viewers might be missing us and we're going to have to come out with some new content and we need to get back on the weekly train if not weekly every other yeah.
Nikita :So we need to.
