Ep 321: "Hear Me Out" Cakes

SARAH: Hey, what's up? Hello. Welcome to Sounds Fake But Okay, a podcast where an aro-ace girl. (I'm Sarah, that's me) 

KAYLA: And a bi-demisexual girl (That's me Kayla) 

SARAH: Talk about all things to do with love, relationships, sexuality, and pretty much anything else we just don't understand 

KAYLA: On today's episode, ‘Hear Me Out Cakes’

BOTH: Sounds Fake But Okay

SARAH: Welcome back to the pod

KAYLA: We hope you had the most lovely ace week, the most lovely of times 

SARAH: You'll never guess, but we forgot about it

KAYLA: It's like they do it every year and every year we forget

SARAH: You know, we got an email somewhat recently regarding aro week 

KAYLA: Yeah 

SARAH: And I was like, oh is that soon? So, I googled it and I was like, oh it's in February and so I was like…

KAYLA: They just know how long we take… they must have known how long it takes for us to do anything

SARAH: They must have known. And so, I was like, oh we're good

KAYLA: Yeah 

SARAH: No. I was like, oh, I thought there was one like around my birthday. Like I thought there was one in October, but I just didn't look further into it

KAYLA: Yeah. The only time I feel we remember ace week is when someone like asks us to do something for it or like is writing an article or something and people are just like asking less of us these days which like is great, give more time to other folks 

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: But now I don't have a reminder anymore

SARAH: Yeah, and we could put it in your calendar, but that would make too much sense. 

KAYLA: Yeah, it really would, so

SARAH: Well, I hope everyone had a good ace week whether they remembered it existed or not

KAYLA: I will say Ace Dad made a great video about like, oh, there's all this pressure to like do stuff during ace week but the best way to celebrate is just to like take care of you and live your best ace life. And I was like, yes exactly and my best ace life is forgetting, so.

SARAH: It’s forgetting. We love you Cody

KAYLA: Cody's book, Cody's new book is out

SARAH: Oh, hell yeah

KAYLA: Go get it. 

SARAH: It's about aro and ace relationships

KAYLA: Mm-hmm. And it's very pretty, and hopefully we'll have Cody on the on the pod soon, I talked to them a little bit, and once their life isn't so crazy… 

SARAH: Oh, you did?

KAYLA: Yeah. 

SARAH: Hell, yeah

KAYLA: Yeah, he was like in my DM…

SARAH: Oh my God

KAYLA: Whatever…

SARAH: Oh my God. Great. 

KAYLA: Yeah

SARAH: Kayla. Do we have any housekeeping? Oh, we do have housekeeping

KAYLA: Okay

SARAH: I would like to thank Steph and Zach and maybe Jillian, if you can commit, for actually writing letters with me

KAYLA: Yaaaaaay

SARAH: Steph and Zach both took the challenge to outdo me seriously and they have in fact outdone me. 

KAYLA: Oh, okay 

SARAH: Well, last I checked Zach had signed up for enough to outdo me but had not sent all of them yet, please hold

KAYLA: That is very impressive though, because you did so many

SARAH: Okay, so Steph adopted 300 and has sent 260 

KAYLA: Um, hello

SARAH: Zach has adopted 60 and has sent 20

KAYLA: Hello 

SARAH: I adopted 55 and sent 55. And then, Jillian adopted 20, but hasn't sent any yet

KAYLA: That is wild

SARAH: 300 is so many

KAYLA: I don't understand how you could… how a person could possibly do that, but I'm very proud of you

SARAH: I'm thinking about the cost of postage

KAYLA: Yeah, maybe they work somewhere where they can just like steal a little stamp, you know

SARAH: Okay, but stealing 300 stamps someone is gonna notice 

KAYLA: I don't know, what if they have like stacks on stacks of stamps?

SARAH: Stacks on stacks of stamps, maybe, I don't know. 

KAYLA: What if they like work in the mailroom of their place? So, it's like… whatever 

SARAH: I don't know what to tell you

KAYLA: Or they just like dropped it in the mailbox at work because like for me we just like have a mailbox at work and it goes down to the mailroom and they send it out and I sent my rent check that way the other day 

SARAH: They will stamp it?

KAYLA: No, I stamped it myself, now that I think about 

SARAH: Yeah, because I don't think they're gonna pay your postage for you

KAYLA: Well, one time I think we did put something in there that wasn't stamped

SARAH: Did it make it to its destination?

KAYLA: It did because I was asking my co-workers, I was like, do we have any stamps? What do I do? And they were like, no just put it here and they'll take it right away from you. 

SARAH: Hmm. 

KAYLA: So maybe they do stamp, I don't know. But that reminds me I need to send my rent check, anyway

SARAH: Hu hu hu hu. Thank you, Steph and Zach, and tentatively Jillian. Jillian, this is your reminder to send your letters. Also, Zach and Steph you also both have letters to send still so congrats. 

KAYLA: Yeah, because they haven't done enough

SARAH: Well, once you adopt them, they're yours. No one else is gonna get them, so 

KAYLA: Mm

SARAH: And I am now… 

KAYLA: Homeless

SARAH: Homeless? I'm not homeless 

KAYLA: But the adopted… the adopted people… 

SARAH: Oh 

KAYLA: Have no letters. 

SARAH: I see 

KAYLA: Orphaned

SARAH: Okay, we're gonna move… we're gonna stop, we're moving on. Kayla, what are we talking about this week?

KAYLA: Okay, wait, just one last thing 

SARAH: Oh my God. 

KAYLA: I just want to say, to thank you for everyone that loved last week's episode because we had so much fun doing it, at least I had fun doing it. I guess, I don't know

SARAH: Oh, yeah, our housekeeping is join our Discord so that you can see the updates

KAYLA: Okay, yeah, there are so many updates in the Discord. I also think next time we do a ‘Listener Lore’ drop because we will definitely do more, we can do updates from the last ones

SARAH: From the last ones, yeah 

KAYLA: In there, yeah, for anyone that's not in the Discord, but…

SARAH: We received via email photos of giraffes

KAYLA: We did, yes 

SARAH: We received via Discord a photo of the car in the ocean

KAYLA: Yeah

SARAH: It's still unclear how it got there, but it is there. 

KAYLA: Yeah, and that… I'll be honest. We did get some clarifications on some of our questions about the car in the ocean story, but not… 

SARAH: Not all

KAYLA: As many as you would want. The important ones remain a mystery to all, I was telling everyone in the Discord that if I ever get to heaven and Jesus himself is like, I'll tell you one... I'll like answer one of humanity's mysteries for you

SARAH: Mm-hmm

KAYLA: I'll say let me see the replay of that, take me there, and let me watch it, God, please. I have to know

SARAH: ‘On The Replay,’ as Rihanna says 

KAYLA: Uh-huh. 

SARAH: Yeah, well. All right, so we'll give more in-depth updates next time we do a ‘Listener Lore’ drop. 

KAYLA: So now you have to listen to the next one

SARAH: He he he he. Kayla, what are we talking about this week? I am proud of myself. 

KAYLA: Okay. 

SARAH: I came up with this idea days ago

KAYLA: That's true actually, we didn't really do any prep with the information that we had, but we did have it. 

SARAH: No, but we have the security of knowing what we’re podcasting about, neither of us…

KAYLA: You didn't even… yeah

SARAH: Neither of us had to text the other today with the word, ‘what?’ 

KAYLA: What? Yeah, I know. It kind of made me afraid because you… there was no ‘what’ text and then you left work a little late so there was a couple of times I was like checking my phone to see if you had texted me your standard audio message that… from the car which means you're on your way home

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: And so, I like checked your location because I was like, is it not Wednesday? I like freaked myself out, I was like, maybe it's not Wednesday. 

SARAH: Yeah, I was like, this is our means of confirming that the podcast is happening today, so

KAYLA: Yeah, it's tough, it's really… our system is so ironclad

SARAH: Truly 

KAYLA: It's really hard when we get off, yeah 

SARAH: And then I sent you more audio messages than you bargained for

KAYLA: Yeah, and you were singing in all of them. And at first it was charming and then it was…

SARAH: I was singing all of my stories 

KAYLA: And then it wasn't… And then it became not as charming as the time when… I had to keep turning it down a little bit because it was just a little, a little much 

SARAH: Listen, I was sitting in a lot of traffic. Okay. Okay. So, what are we talking about this week?

KAYLA: Okay, this week… what if we just talked about nothing? Just kidding, this week we are talking about the trend of ‘hear me out cakes’ on TikTok, which I know we will have to explain, I feel like a lot of people are not gonna know this trend

SARAH: Yes, I first saw this a couple of weeks ago, and I remember the first one I saw I sent to you but because neither of us ever check our TikTok messages, I'm not sure you saw. 

KAYLA: Yeah, I did not, I didn't. I mean I have seen them, maybe I've seen the one that you sent me but I don't look at my messages, so 

SARAH: I noticed today that you had liked one of the Instagram posts I sent you, like you liked the message, and I was like, Kayla looks at this? Only sometimes

KAYLA: Rarely

SARAH: Rarely

KAYLA: Only sometimes but today it happened for a little bit. 

SARAH: Well, I'm so proud of you, you're doing such great things. And I try not to send you too much shit. You don't want to know…

KAYLA: But you do… 

SARAH: How many things I send… 

KAYLA: I know

SARAH: To fucking… to my former… the artist formerly known as my roommate, I send her all sorts of shit and she sends me shit from two different accounts. 

KAYLA: That's… yeah, that's a lot

[00:10:00]

SARAH: Anyway, so, okay hear me out cakes. I think we need to start by explaining what ‘hear me’ out means in this context

KAYLA: Yeah, I think that would be helpful

SARAH: So, in this context, ‘hear me out’ is when a person is talking about someone to whom they're… it's generally considered to be like sexually attracted to this person

KAYLA: Yeah, or just like think is hot, I guess. 

SARAH: Yeah. Yeah, but they know that it's kind of a controversial take, like they're not necessarily like traditionally attractive, so, they're like, okay, but hear me out 

KAYLA: Or like people would disagree with them, yeah 

SARAH: Right. Yeah. One of the most famous ‘hear me outs’ that I can think of off the top of my head that I just know in my life is… hold on, I need to Google this character's name. 

KAYLA: I feel like I know who it is. 

SARAH: I have a friend who's like number one ‘hear me out’ is Randall Boggs from Monsters, Inc

KAYLA: Okay, this is not who I thought we were gonna be talking about, I don't know about all that

SARAH: Oh, did you think it was gonna be Jeff Goldblum? That's not… 

KAYLA: No, I thought it was gonna be the Fox from Zootopia

SARAH: Oh, okay. No, so it's Randall… my friend her ‘hear me out’ is Randall Boggs from… 

KAYLA: I have heard that 

SARAH: Monsters, Inc, if you've seen Monsters, Inc, Randall Boggs is the chameleon thing, like the villain, like… 

KAYLA: The evil purple chameleon who's nasty. 

SARAH: Uh-huh, and her ‘hear me out’ is Randall Boggs

KAYLA: Here's the thing, I think like the ‘hear me out’ phenomenon is very much so related to the like medium ugly rat-looking man. 

SARAH: Okay

KAYLA: Like I think that those are like inter… they're linked somehow

SARAH: Interesting 

KAYLA: And Randall does give me medium ugly vibes 

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: Like if I picture what Randall would look like as a human man, I do think he would have like the rat look about… 

SARAH: Yeah, that's very… 

KAYLA: Like lanky and long and like spindly fingers, you know?

SARAH: Yeah, that's fair. 

KAYLA: I could see that. Do you have a ‘hear me out’?

SARAH: No

KAYLA: Like not someone you're sexually attracted to obviously, but someone you think is hot that you're like… 

SARAH: No, I struggle with that because I… the first time I saw a ‘hear me out cake,’ I was like, oh we should do this on the pod, and then I was like, I don't have anything to contribute

KAYLA: Yeah 

SARAH: Um, it just doesn't… it doesn't work for me because in my mind a ‘hear me out’ is generally like it's sexual or like hot but in that direction

KAYLA: Yeah

SARAH: And I don't… There's no one who I would… 

KAYLA: No, I think you're… I think you're right because it's not just the aesthetics, like it's not just the aesthetic like hotness, there is something about the like the character and like… especially if it's a cartoon character like the personification of that character so like you can't really just go based on aesthetics…

SARAH: Yeah, it’s…

KAYLA: It has to be like the full thing. 

SARAH: It's a full package situation. So, people have been talking about their ‘hear me outs’ for like ages, forever

KAYLA: Yeah 

SARAH: Since… before the rat discourse started, people would just be like, okay, but hear me out

KAYLA: Yeah 

SARAH: This person, this creature, this whatever. So, the phenomenon of ‘hear me out cakes’ it started on…

KAYLA: I don’t know how… I know it started on TikTok, but like who was like we have to put this on a cake?

SARAH: I'm not sure who specifically originated it, but basically what it is, is you get a cake, any cake will do 

KAYLA: Mm-hmm

SARAH: And… 

KAYLA: I've seen some weird ones, some real nasty cakes

SARAH: In the spirit of the hear me out cake, it's a gross looking cake

KAYLA: Yeah 

SARAH: So, what you do is you come up with all of your ‘hear me outs’ and you print them out, print images of them out and then you put them on a little stick, a wooden stick or some sort of stick and what you do is you do it with someone else and you take turns putting your ‘hear me outs’ into the cake and then the other person or persons you are with judge you

KAYLA: Mm-hmm. And then at the end you just have a cake covered 

SARAH: Uh-huh 

KAYLA: And skewers with people on them 

SARAH: Correct, many of them not people

KAYLA: Yes, yeah 

SARAH: And the thing about ‘hear me out’ cakes is there has been some discourse about like what constitutes a ‘hear me out’ and like there are some people… like you'll see someone be like, okay, well, this person and it's like, no, that's not a ‘hear me out’ because that's a conventionally attractive person

KAYLA: Yes, it cannot be a conventionally attractive person and honestly the weirder the better 

SARAH: Yes 

KAYLA: Like if I see a video and it's all shit, I've already thought of, I don't want that, I want some weird fucked up shit

SARAH: Yeah, the purpose is for it to be like… 

KAYLA: Shocking 

SARAH: Is for you to be like, “what the fuck?”

KAYLA: Yeah, to need to hear… you need… to be a true hear me out, there needs to be an actual hear me out, you need to have to explain it

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: And to be heard out

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: Or else it's… 

SARAH: Yes 

KAYLA: Like it has to… you have to need to explain it, that's how like wild it is

SARAH: If you're like, hear me out, Chris Pine. No

KAYLA: No

SARAH: No, that does not count. 

KAYLA: If you came at me and said hear me out, Chris Pratt, now this is interesting because I am gonna need to hear more because I hate that motherfucker 

SARAH: Because that's taking into consideration…Yeah, that's taking into consideration his personality and his being, you know 

KAYLA: Yeah, exactly. 

SARAH: Yeah. 

KAYLA: Yeah

SARAH: So, we're just gonna talk about some of the ‘hear me out’ and the hear me out cakes we've seen on the internet and judged the allos

KAYLA: Mm-hmm. Yes 

SARAH: I would like to start with this tweet which is related to what we're talking about how extreme a ‘hear me out’ must be for it to count

KAYLA: Mm-hmm

SARAH: This person tweeted, here is my biggest hear me out, and it's a photo of one of the Trolls from the animated Trolls movie. 

KAYLA: Okay. 

SARAH: Do you know the Trolls? Do you know which one this is?

KAYLA: I don't, I've never seen the Trolls. I think that works because I don't get it, I don't get the attraction, so…

SARAH: Yeah, it looks like… 

KAYLA: I think that qualifies 

SARAH: Maybe a young adult Troll

KAYLA: I think that's a… he kind of looks like a young… it's like that's too young of a Troll

SARAH: Yeah, I'm like is that Troll a teenager or like… 

KAYLA: That's what I'm saying, like that Troll, it kind of looks like a teen Troll, which like I can’t… I mean, maybe this person is a teen but… 

SARAH: Yeah, it could be. Anyway, it's this Troll. And I saw… I didn't actually see the original but I saw a quote retweet of this post, and the quote retweet was the replies being, “that's a conventionally attractive Troll” are taking me the fuck out 

KAYLA: No, I just can't agree with that because I don't find that Troll attractive. It’s also…

SARAH: I think if you were a Troll and you were attracted to Trolls, I think that probably would be a conventionally attractive troll, but we're not trolls

KAYLA: Yeah, but here's the thing Sarah, we're not Trolls. I want to look up the other Trolls’ characters because it matters to me unlike the… Okay, apparently that Troll’s name is Branch, maybe. I find him to look like a fuck boy, his name is Branch, I don’t like the energy he's giving

SARAH: Yeah, that’s Branch, this cosplay of Branch is terrifying  

KAYLA: Oh, I bet, it's a Troll

SARAH: Unfortunately, this hear me out cake core post that I found doesn't have fucking captions, inaccessible first of all, second of all, you're making my podcasting difficult 

KAYLA: I hate that

SARAH: But yeah, so I recently stumbled upon a TikTok that was like hear me out cake core, so it's kind of like best of and so let me… I will have to turn the fucking volume up, please hold

KAYLA: Terrible 

SARAH: The first one is just, it's maybe too funny and extreme to start but I love it so much, so please hold. So, the first one, it's a group of college girls

KAYLA: Okay 

SARAH: There are like five of them and their cake is full, they're at the very end, and this girl was like, okay, I have my last one, everyone gather around, she was like everyone come here. Like I need you all to be locked the fuck in when I do my last one, and she puts it on the cake… 

KAYLA: Oh, no I’m scared 

SARAH: Let me see if I can make you guys hear this… Um, I don't know how clear that was, but… 

KAYLA: I didn't hear it 

SARAH: Okay, her last ‘hear me out’ was one of the other girls’ dads, the other people they're like realize it and started laughing and then the girl who's dad it was she like takes a second and then she goes, “that's my dad.” Very funny

KAYLA: Oh, that's so good, that’s so good

SARAH: And also, look, the fact that the girl who like put him as her ‘hear me out’ referred to him as Papa Tran, Tran being the last name and I was like, mm-hmm

KAYLA: Oh, no. Oh, no.

[00:20:00]

SARAH: And then I went and I watched the original and she was like 5'3" icon Papa Tran

KAYLA: Oh my God 

SARAH: Dogs out in his flip-flops. 

KAYLA: I can't… I would not know, I would just… I just wouldn't know 

SARAH: We have one where this man said the number eight?

KAYLA: Is it… because it's like curvy? 

SARAH: I guess, it seems pretty straight to me because he's a man

KAYLA: I mean like if you're gonna pick a number, like it's a pretty good one to pick

SARAH: I mean, hold on, this… I'm looking at some of this guy's other hear me outs. It's fucking, Nala from the Lion King, the number eight…

KAYLA: Not a hear me out, that's obvious

SARAH: J Law in the movie where she's X-men Blue, this man clearly just likes blues, this man likes curvy things, that's why the number eight 

KAYLA: Yeah, well the number eight also has holes 

SARAH: Eww 

KAYLA: Just saying

SARAH: Then we have… oh, this person put all of the Chipmunks from the… the Chipmunks who are brothers, what are they called? Simon, Alvin, and Theodore?

KAYLA: Yeah, like the Disney ones? 

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: Or Alvin and the Chipmunks? 

SARAH: Alvin and the Chipmunks

KAYLA: Okay, so not like the little Disney ones?

SARAH: No 

KAYLA: Like not Chip and Dale?

SARAH: No, Alvin and the Chipmunks, all of Alvin and the Chipmunks. Wow, this… 

KAYLA: All of them? 

SARAH: This person has a lot of rodents, hold on. We've got the Fox from Zootopia 

KAYLA: I’m telling you it’s the rat man

SARAH: We've got at least two of the chipmunks from Alvin the Chipmunks, we have Rocket Raccoon

KAYLA: Eww, no. What has this person gone through to explain this rodent situation?

SARAH: I don't know man. 

KAYLA: I don't know about Alvin and the Chipmunks because I'm like pretty sure they're canonically like teenagers or children and they look like that, they look like little babies, I don't know if we can do that one

SARAH: Yeah. I've seen a couple people do, what's that… Um, what's that man from that children's show who does very difficult exercise?

KAYLA: Oh, from… it's like something town, Sleepy Town? The guy from Sleepy Town?

SARAH: Yes 

KAYLA: Does he have like a big weird mustache?

SARAH: Yes. 

KAYLA: Yeah 

SARAH: I've seen him on people's ‘hear me outs.’

KAYLA: Yeah, it makes sense. He's very strong and whatnot

SARAH: Bill Nye, the science guy. It is also interesting seeing them... 

KAYLA: No, that's my dad

SARAH: It is interesting seeing them where it's like mostly men, it's like men the whole time and then at the end there's like a couple of women and it's like, “we are all queer deep down.” It’s so true. 

KAYLA: Yeah, it is interesting too because all of the hear me out cake videos I've seen it's women doing it, I've not seen any of men doing it, which I think is similar to our discussion about medium ugly where like men aren't really allowed to say things like that. 

SARAH: Yeah. The only men I've seen doing it are doing it with women

KAYLA: I'll allow that, men can only speak when given permission by the woman in charge 

SARAH: Exactly. I'm trying to find the one that I sent you many many months ago

KAYLA: I’m trying to think if I have any hear me outs. Oh, I know one that's popular, I've not seen it on any cakes, I don't think, but I know I've heard it in Discords, is the horse from Spirit the Stallion of the Cimarron

SARAH: Oh, yeah, that's… 

KAYLA: Do you know this horse? Yeah 

SARAH: Yes, that's a situation where it's like that's a conventionally attractive horse

KAYLA: Well, I feel the same way about the Fox from Zootopia, it is like they made that… they made the horse and the Fox hot on purpose, like they knew what they were doing

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: So, like it’s really… it's not a ‘hear me out’ anymore. The only thing ‘hear me out’ about it is the fact that it's an animated animal. 

SARAH: Yeah. Honestly, this first hear me out cake that I found that I sent you is pretty tame in comparison to… 

KAYLA: What you're seeing these days?

SARAH: Yeah, what I'm seeing these days 

KAYLA: I mean, I think they've only gotten wild 

SARAH: Oh, yeah 

KAYLA: As more people have done it

SARAH: This one is just the concept of Vine

KAYLA: Hmm. I don't think that's good, that's not… I think that's against the rules, like I don't think you're doing it right, if you said like… 

SARAH: I think we're… 

KAYLA: The vine logo.

SARAH: I think we're too aspec to understand the true essence of a hear me out cake of the really extreme ones 

KAYLA: I disagree. I disagree because hear me out cake is like, a big part of it is how something looks. Like it's like, oh, yeah, you might think this is ugly, but I think it's hot. You can't do the concept of vine, that's not… you can't be sexually attracted to the concept of an application, but like how the logo was

SARAH: But I can see how people would… you know?

KAYLA: No, I don't know, I don’t like that

SARAH: Okay 

KAYLA: I think it's against the rules. 

SARAH: Another one on this hear me out cake is Jerry Trainor as Spencer Shay in iCarly

KAYLA: No

SARAH: Okay, you're not gonna hear that one out? 

KAYLA: I disagree. 

SARAH: Okay

KAYLA: Well, that I would need to hear it out

SARAH: Yeah

KAYLA: So, I get it, that is a valid one. 

SARAH: Yeah

KAYLA: Because I would need to hear some words about that

SARAH: They also have that guy from Emperor's New Groove the one with the really big shoulders and neck and a small head, Kuzco's poison, the poison for Kuzco 

KAYLA: Oh, Kuzco? 

SARAH: No, not Kuzco, the other guy 

KAYLA: Like the main guy? Pacha? Pasha? 

SARAH: Is he the main guy?

KAYLA: Like the dad? 

SARAH: I haven't seen The Emperor's New Groove in a long time, hold on

KAYLA: The men are…

SARAH: Yeah, Pasha

KAYLA: Servant guy

SARAH: Pacha 

KAYLA: Okay, the main guy, uh, yeah, I don't need to hear anything about that one, that one I can see on my own

SARAH: Eartha Kitt was the voice of Yzma? 

KAYLA: Who's that? 

SARAH: Who's Yzma? Or who's Eartha Kitt? 

KAYLA: The person that… yeah, do I know who that is?

SARAH: Jump off a cliff. 

KAYLA: Um, rude

SARAH: Okay, I'm so sorry, I clicked on her IMDB and the first line of her bio, an out of wedlock child

KAYLA: What?

SARAH: Eartha Kitt was born in the cotton fields of South Carolina

KAYLA: Huh?

SARAH: Kitt's mother was a sharecropper of African American and Cherokee Native American descent, her father's identity is unknown, given away by her mother, she arrived in Harlem at age nine, at 15 she quit high school to work in a Brooklyn factory, as a teenager Kitt lived in friends’ homes and in the subway

KAYLA: How old is she now?

SARAH: I think she's dead. Yeah, she died in 2008. 

KAYLA: Okay, I was gonna say there's no way she's still alive with that history. 

SARAH: No 

KAYLA: Um, wow, what a wild intro.

SARAH: Truly. Um, oh she's the fucking singer of Santa baby 

KAYLA: Oh, interesting, okay. I would love to hear Yzma singing Santa baby, I would love that. 

SARAH: I was like, I know she has famous songs, but I couldn't think of it. It's fucking Santa baby. Anyway, hmm. Sorry. I got really distracted by Eartha Kitt. Um, let's see. What else do we have? Would you… what would be on your… do you have ‘hear me outs’ for your ‘hear me out’ gig?

KAYLA: I don't know, I was trying to think but I think I would need like an extended period of time to like…

SARAH: To think about it?

KAYLA: Really think about it, because I think I'd have to like think of like movies for my childhood or whatever, the one that that did come to my mind is the fish from Finding Nemo with like the skull... 

SARAH: Oh, yeah that I've already seen that on a cake in the time I… 

KAYLA: Yeah, I don't think… I don't think that's a ‘hear me out,’ I think that's like too conventional, I don't think that's like wild enough. 

SARAH: Mm, I think that counts as a ‘hear me out’ because it's not even human

KAYLA: Yeah, neither is the Fox from Zootopia but everybody loves that guy

SARAH: Yeah, but that's… but the Fox from Zootopia is kind of humanoid, like he walks like a human

KAYLA: I see 

SARAH: You know?

KAYLA: I guess but Nala doesn't walk like a human. 

SARAH: No, but Nala is hot. 

KAYLA: Okay. So is the fish 

SARAH: Yeah, but I'm… okay, whatever. This one is um, Salt and Pepper from Blue's Clues. 

KAYLA: No

SARAH: Why?

KAYLA: Huh? 

SARAH: They're adults 

KAYLA: Because they're just… yeah, but like, what's hot about them? They just look like a salt and pepper. Hello? 

SARAH: They're salt and pepper, they have a loving marriage

KAYLA: No

SARAH: They have children and cinnamon and paprika

KAYLA: Yeah, I'm well aware of the… 

SARAH: A loving family. 

KAYLA: I'm gonna need to hear explanation on that one

SARAH: Alright, another one, John Doe from Roblox?

KAYLA: I don't know who that is. 

SARAH: It's the… Okay, so, you know how Roblox look like? 

KAYLA: Yeah, is it just like the standard…

SARAH: It's just the one with like two eyes and a smiley face

KAYLA: Yeah, I don’t know about that one either, I’m…

SARAH: Yeah, the people with this person doing this cake also weren't sure about that one. 

KAYLA: Okay, that's good to know

SARAH: We have Handy Manny the screwdriver. 

KAYLA: I think I can picture that 

SARAH: Yeah, it's an animated screwdriver. I'm trying to remember where Handy Manny is from. 

KAYLA: You know what is one I’ve not seen on a cake?

SARAH: Oh, it's from Handy Man. 

KAYLA: Oh, well, naturally. You know what I haven't seen on a cake? 

SARAH: Sorry. What? I really got distracted and then I was trying to find things and I kept getting distracted, I was like you see from Bob the Builder, no, he's from Handy Man. What? 

KAYLA: Something I have not seen on a cake. 

SARAH: Yes 

KAYLA: But I think would be a good one is Clippy 

SARAH: I did see Clippy on a cake 

KAYLA: Remember Clippy? 

SARAH: Yes. I have seen Clippy on a cake. Clippy is the little… is the paper clip that used to pop up on Microsoft Word, on Microsoft programs to help you

KAYLA: Yes, to help you. RIP Clippy, lost but not forgotten

[00:30:00]

SARAH: This one is the hand from the Adams family

KAYLA: No, stop it, stop that right now. Wait, I just thought of one that might be online 

SARAH: What? 

KAYLA: I have to look it up though, I want to make sure I'm thinking of the right thing

SARAH: Would that guy from Rudolph be on yours?

KAYLA: Yes

SARAH: What’s his name?

KAYLA: Yukon Cornelius

SARAH: Yeah, Yukon Cornelius 

KAYLA: Yukon Cornelius, I don't think that's a ‘hear me out’ though. Like I think that's a very natural thing to think 

SARAH: Yeah

KAYLA: Um, the… okay, Ditto Dragontails. 

SARAH: Yeah, of course, I do, Dragontails, Dragontails…

KAYLA: Okay, you know the dragon that's like… it's… The two and they're like… but they're connected? 

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: It's like one body and two heads 

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: I think the green one. Honestly, also the purple one 

SARAH: Specifically, the green… okay, I'm sorry, I'm looking at them and if you were to choose between the two of them you would go for the green one?

KAYLA: I would go for both of them, but for some reason the green one is what came to mind. 

SARAH: That's a choice

KAYLA: Well, there you go, it’s… you know, hear me out, you know 

SARAH: Between the two I would definitely say the purple one

KAYLA: There's something weird, I think because they gave her eyelashes, her eyes… like look at this picture specifically

SARAH: Mm

KAYLA: They make her eyes look crazy. 

SARAH: I see 

KAYLA: They did her dirty 

SARAH: I just think he looks too much like a rat man

KAYLA: And that's the thing, isn't it? And that's the thing, isn't it? 

SARAH: Oh, incredible. Dragontails was only on for three seasons? The original. 

KAYLA: So far that is a tragedy. So, on my hear me out cake so far is the fish from… the scar fish from Finding Nemo. 

SARAH: Mm-hmm 

KAYLA: Clippy and the green Dragontails, Dragon

SARAH: Yes. I'll give you Yukon Cornelius as like the intro one, you know

KAYLA: Okay, yeah 

SARAH: You got to start somewhat normal and get unhinged

KAYLA: Okay, yeah 

SARAH: Um, this person's ‘hear me out’ is one of the extras from Spongebob. 

KAYLA: Okay 

SARAH: It's just like one of those random fish that walk around. 

KAYLA: Okay. Sure. 

SARAH: Yep, concept of vine

KAYLA: I don’t get it 

SARAH: And the number eight, okay, we already done the top two on that compilation. YouTube’s the organic chemistry tutor

KAYLA: Okay. I don't know who that is, for sure 

SARAH: I'm not super familiar, but it is just a guy who teaches you organic chemistry

KAYLA: Sure. Great. And it's a hard subject I've heard 

SARAH: Yeah. Yeah. I sure didn't take it. Um…

KAYLA: No 

SARAH: Kermit the Frog

KAYLA: Um, I could see that 

SARAH: The Grinch from the live-action Grinch movie. 

KAYLA: I mean, I could also see that because they like did specifically make him like a romantic… like he has a romantic interest, you know

SARAH: I mean, what's her face… All I can think of, you know, what's her face from Greece the Mamma Mia movie, not from Greece, from the country of Greece. No, no the Mamma Mia, Christine Baranski. 

KAYLA: Okay. She's also in Eloise 

SARAH: Oh, well, but her whole thing is that she wants to fuck the Grinch so bad, it's so sexual. 

KAYLA: I know, that’s what I’m saying. Like they kind of like made him hot by having her be so into him, you know?

SARAH: Yeah

KAYLA: You are kind of forced to be like, yeah, I guess 

SARAH: Right, Megamind 

KAYLA: No

SARAH: Not willing to hear it out. 

KAYLA: I mean, I'll hear it, but I can't promise anything

SARAH: Simon Cowell

KAYLA: Yeah, I mean I get that a little bit because especially early in American Idol they really were like… 

SARAH: He has got a symmetrical face 

KAYLA: And he always had his chest hair out 

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: Do you remember that in early American Idol? They like made such a big deal about his chest hair

SARAH: Yeah, if you're into bears

KAYLA: I actually have a vivid memory, like I don't have a lot of very vivid memories from my childhood because of like mental illness or whatever? 

SARAH: Yeah

KAYLA: But I have a vivid memory of there was an episode of American Idol where they're like, they did a little like scene or whatever at the top of the show before they really got into the show and it was like Simon Cowell coming into Paula Abdul's dressing room and like romancing her, because there was always the joke with them about like will they, won't they, you know?

SARAH: Mm-hmm

KAYLA: And it was like this whole big thing and that was very formative for me as a child. 

SARAH: Oh, okay, wow

KAYLA: I was like, I guess this is it 

SARAH: Wow, that's a delight. Um… 

KAYLA: Yeah 

SARAH: This is the first thing this person has put on the hear me out cake, Fidel Castro 

KAYLA: I can only imagine where they go from there 

SARAH: Hold on, I gotta look up what he looks like though. 

KAYLA: Like at what age? 

SARAH: He looks to be somewhat young in this photo

KAYLA: Okay

SARAH: Mm 

KAYLA: Eww, I just saw him old, he's scary, no

SARAH: He's also Fidel Castro. So, you have to work that into it. 

KAYLA: Yeah, I don't like how he's looking young or old, and he's also Fidel Castro, so 

SARAH: She said specifically this picture, but I don't… I’m not willing to go through the effort to find that picture. 

KAYLA: That's fair

SARAH: Um, Ginger from Chicken Run 

KAYLA: Which one is that? 

SARAH: I don't know, one of the chickens from Chicken Run

KAYLA: I'm gonna go with no, like the animations... Is this a… no, wait, I'm thinking of like Wallace and Gromit, it's not the same animation style as Wallace and Gromit, is it? 

SARAH: It kind of is. 

KAYLA: Okay, then, no. Animation style kind of scares me if I'm honest, it kind of freaks me out for some reason, I think it's the mouths. 

SARAH: Mm

KAYLA: It’s so wide and smooth. 

SARAH: Yeah, they are quite wide mouths 

KAYLA: And so smooth

SARAH: Some of these are quite wild-looking, but I don't know them so I can't give a proper reaction. I don't really know this one, but this is Kamaji from Spirited Away, it appears to be a spider with many hands

KAYLA: I've heard of the movie, I’ve never seen it

SARAH: And this person says, I guess since we all have a competence kink, um…

KAYLA: Huh? Eww, scary

SARAH: We should just look it up 

KAYLA: No, yeah, I don't like it, eww. 

SARAH: Hmm 

KAYLA: You know what he reminds me of? Is the villain from Sonic, what's his name? 

SARAH: I don't fucking know 

KAYLA: It’s like Dr. Egg, something egg, but he's similarly like bald with big mustache and glasses, which I could see people putting that on a cake. 

SARAH: I just saw a really good one. I need to hear what they say though to describe this 

KAYLA: Dr. Eggman, in case anyone is looking, he looks just like… they're so similar, that's crazy

SARAH: So, this one is… you know, the meme from Grand Theft Auto where it's like, “oh shit, here we go again”

KAYLA: Mm-hmm 

SARAH: That. 

KAYLA: That guy?

SARAH: Not that guy, that meme. 

KAYLA: Oh. No, stop. You can't keep doing this, I'm getting angry now. 

SARAH: I think it's great when people do that. I love it. 

KAYLA: I just really need to hear it out, I guess. Okay, this is not on my hear me out cake, but something I would not be surprised to see is Dr. Robotnik from the live-action Sonic movies

SARAH: I got to look this up

KAYLA: Not for me, but I know that people want him, I know they want him

SARAH: Yeah, it's reminding me of the Sleepy Town Exercise Man

KAYLA: Kind of yeah, it's the… a twirly mustache, yeah 

SARAH: Is that Sleepy Town? What is it called?

KAYLA: I think it is… It's something town for sure. 

SARAH: It's not Sleepy Town, I've looked up Sleepy Town and that's not right

KAYLA: Oh, Lazy Town, see?

SARAH: Lazy Town 

KAYLA: Lazy Town. Okay. I was so close. 

SARAH: It's Icelandic?

KAYLA: It’s Icelandic? Of course, it is actually now that I think about it. Actually, of course it is, my bad

SARAH: Wow, okay. I like how we both have… we said that exact same shit at the exact same time. The Bee from the Bee movie? 

KAYLA: I mean that lady does fall in love with the bee, you know

SARAH: He must have some unmatched rizz

KAYLA: Yeah, he likes jazz

SARAH: You like jazz? Dr. Phil?

KAYLA: Eww

SARAH: Big no on that one. I also know someone who… I was gonna say has a personal relationship with Dr. Phil but that sounds weird. Um, I know someone who used to work for Dr. Phil and so I have I have heard this person's stories about Dr. Phil and I'm just like… 

KAYLA: Yeah

SARAH: It's not like those stories make me like actually redeemable. I'm just like, yeah, you know? 

KAYLA: I mean, he seems like he's probably not a good person, it's just the vibe I get

SARAH: He got that fucking mustache, that fucking Steve Harvey mustache. 

KAYLA: It really is, they really look very similar 

SARAH: The GEICO Gecko

KAYLA: I'm not aghast. I like… I get it, I think

SARAH: Okay

KAYLA: I bet the GEICO Caveman has been on some people's cakes. Again, not on my cake, but I know he's on someone's. Oh, you know what? 

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: Is on my cake

SARAH: Hmm

KAYLA: I don't think this is like super crazy though is the All State guy, who's like… he's all the accidents and the disaster. 

SARAH: Oh, yeah

KAYLA: He's like, I'm your drunk neighbor and I just drove through your wall 

SARAH: Oh, what's he fucking called? Um… 

KAYLA: I know he has a name

SARAH: Mayhem 

KAYLA: Mayhem, yeah 

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: I like him I think

[00:40:00]

SARAH: The Jack in the Box mascot? 

KAYLA: No. No, that's just like a white ball with eyes on it 

SARAH: The Asparagus from the Christian show about vegetables. 

KAYLA: VeggieTales?

SARAH: Yes, VeggieTales

KAYLA: VeggieTales, Christian show about VeggieTales. The Asparagus, okay, I think I'm picturing it but I need to look at it, the dad or the child? It gotta be… 

SARAH: I think it's an adult. 

KAYLA: Is there… does he have a monocle on? 

SARAH: Oh, that's a good question, I have to go back to it, I just left it behind and now I don't remember which one it was… Mike Wazowski

KAYLA: Okay, honestly though both parent Asparaguses, I can see that, the adult Asparaguses I can see it 

SARAH: I lost the post, it's gone, I'll never find it again

KAYLA: Okay. Well, I'll allow for the adult Asparaguses 

SARAH: I've seen quite a few of the cars from Cars, I've seen Sally, I've seen… 

KAYLA: Yeah, obviously

SARAH: The guy, not the sheriff but the other older guy, the blue one, the light blue one

KAYLA: Yes. No. Yes. Yes, I don’t know

SARAH: The Among Us guy

KAYLA: No, um, I think Madam Blueberry from VeggieTales is good

SARAH: Madam Blueberry

KAYLA: I like her vibe 

SARAH: Oh, she's kind of slaying, she's giving country supreme 

KAYLA: That's what I'm saying, like… 

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: Yeah, I kind of like her

SARAH: Gru?

KAYLA: No

SARAH: Okay, Flynn Rider that doesn't… no, Flynn Rider is not fucking good

KAYLA: That’s stupid, that is not a ‘hear me out,’ that sucks 

SARAH: I could absolutely see people saying Shrek, like Ogre Shrek, it hasn't come up but I could see it

KAYLA: Yeah, I can see that. You know what else I can see speaking of Flynn Rider? Is the horse from Tangled

SARAH: Uh-huh

KAYLA: But Shrek like… again, because they made him a romantic lead

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: I think it just puts it in your mind that, like it's just much more understandable to me

SARAH: Yeah. I've seen several of like the M&Ms, like the M&M characters

KAYLA: They do… that makes sense to me also because they specifically made at least the green one sexy

SARAH: Yeah

KAYLA: And the brown one

SARAH: I've seen the green one, I've also the red one for some reason

KAYLA: I thought people would be more into the yellow one

SARAH: I don't know, I don’t know them that well

KAYLA: The yellow one is like the long one 

SARAH: The guy from the Lorax with the big mustache 

KAYLA: The Lorax himself? What do you mean?

SARAH: Yeah, the Lorax

KAYLA: Like that orange dude? 

SARAH: I've never seen the fucking movie and it's been 500 years since I read the book as a child

KAYLA: Okay, but you saw a little orange man, and you didn't think… you were like, “oh, that's just one of the characters”

SARAH: It's the guy from the Lorax with the mustache

KAYLA: Yeah, it's just like you know one of the side characters certainly the orange man with the large mustache couldn't be the Lorax

SARAH: No. Okay, I was… This person did a digital one, but I thought that the first one, I thought their cake was a ‘hear me out,’ and I was like, “a piece of cheesecake?”

KAYLA: Oh. I mean, I don't like cheesecakes, that's a ‘hear me out’ to me

SARAH: Yeah, I don't like cheesecake either. One of the Minions? 

KAYLA: No

SARAH: The dad from Bluey?

KAYLA: Yeah, I could see that

SARAH: We have another green M&M. Oh, Steve from Blue's Clues?

KAYLA: I almost said that earlier because I think that's true, I don't think that's a hear me out, I think we all agree he's a cute little guy

SARAH: We got a Lightning McQueen we're getting more Cars characters. Um, Mr. Bean? 

KAYLA: No. 

SARAH: Lin-manuel Miranda, but specifically that picture of him biting his lip

KAYLA: Okay, that is a ‘hear me out,’ that's good. 

SARAH: I believe that's Gromit from Wallace and Gromit

KAYLA: Again, it scares me, the smoothness of them 

SARAH: I've seen a couple that are road signs

KAYLA: What?

SARAH: I don't know. 

KAYLA: What? 

SARAH: I don't know

KAYLA: Like the yield sign? 

SARAH: Yeah. This one is the Sun made girl. You know the raisins? The Raisin brand? 

KAYLA: Okay, I can see… yeah, I can see that 

SARAH: This person… this man also put the… oh, oh, the laughing cow. 

KAYLA: Oh. Okay, interesting

SARAH: Also, the Sydney Opera House

KAYLA: No. Okay, you know what I think could be a good one? Is Finn the goldfish like the goldfish mascot

SARAH: I'm surprised... Yeah, that could be. I'm surprised I haven't seen any Animal Crossing characters

KAYLA: That's a good point 

SARAH: Like blathers, no one has blathers?

KAYLA: Yeah, that is weird. 

SARAH: Ugh, my phone updated and now the picture… the photos are weird. How do I work you? How do I work you? Okay. Okay, wait. 

KAYLA: Oh, no I’m scared

SARAH: I was gonna say my most comparable thing to this is not a ‘hear me out,’ but it's just the weirdest things in my… I have a gender folder in my phone

KAYLA: Okay, great

SARAH: And I wanted to know the weirdest… most of them are not weird, but I do have this raccoon in a shirt. 

KAYLA: Oh, that's… yeah

SARAH: It's giving a little bit rocket raccoon, raccoon because it's a raccoon with like clothes on but like… 

KAYLA: Yeah

SARAH: You know?

KAYLA: It's looking very dapper. 

SARAH: It's a button-up, like a gingham not gingham, it's gingham but when it's square and it's yellow and it's just a very… it's a… it’s a… It looks like a…

KAYLA: It looks like a… 

SARAH: A young raccoon

KAYLA: A nice collared shirt. 

SARAH: Mm-hmm

KAYLA: Yeah

SARAH: Just looking very nicely at the camera and it's also a very good reaction image and I use it frequently

KAYLA: Yeah, I've seen you use it a lot. 

SARAH: I think that's the only like really weird thing in here. This is not supposed to be in here, I believe this was put in here on accident, but it is an egg wearing sunglasses on a small couch\

KAYLA: You don't think that's gender? 

SARAH: No, I don't think so. I'll leave it in here for fun though.

KAYLA: Okay

SARAH: The egg has a name, I can't remember what the egg’s name is. It was from a… it was from a 17 VCR from their fucking caratland this year, don't worry about it. 

KAYLA: Sure

SARAH: Yeah, everything else is like kind of normal 

KAYLA: You know who I think… what is… would be on my cake?

SARAH: What about just a hand? 

KAYLA: Okay. You know who'd be on my cake is the Wii Fitness instructor

SARAH: I'm trying to remember, Wii the Fitness, Wii Fitness instructor, I was expecting it to be a me

KAYLA: No 

SARAH: I would have liked it better if it was a me

KAYLA: I mean, I could probably find some like of the… that are good 

SARAH: Like one of those like baseball guys? You know

KAYLA: Yeah 

SARAH: One of the baseball, it just dumps the circles 

KAYLA: Yeah, there's one bald man… one bald me specifically I'm thinking 

SARAH: Great. When you were a child, did you try to make the ugliest mes you could?

KAYLA: Yeah, obviously

SARAH: It's important. Oh, the dragon from Shrek. Yeah, that's a conventionally attractive dragon. 

KAYLA: Yeah, that is a very… yeah, it's a conventionally attractive dragon, we all know

SARAH: Voldemort but like Voldemort without a nose, not like Tom Riddle like Voldemort

KAYLA: No. Yeah, no

SARAH: The annoying old guy with a major overbite and no hair from The Simpsons

KAYLA: No 

SARAH: I don't remember his name 

KAYLA: Why? 

SARAH: I don't know 

KAYLA: No 

SARAH: Kirby

KAYLA: Kirby like the pink thing? 

SARAH: Uh-huh 

KAYLA: Okay. You know what I think would be… Yes? 

SARAH: Okay, okay, okay, you know the movie robots?

KAYLA: I don't know 

SARAH: Fuck, okay. The movie it’s called Robots, it came out when we were kids

KAYLA: Okay. Yes, I do know this 

SARAH: It came out in 2005. There's a character and robots who is an old woman who has a giant… her name's Aunt Fanny, her name is Aunt Fanny and she has a giant ass such that she can store things in her ass because she’s a robot

KAYLA: Oh, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm

SARAH: Um, and this person has said that their ‘hear me out’ is Aunt Fanny. I think Aunt Fanny is her name. 

KAYLA: It is, I just looked her up, she looks wild

SARAH: She's voiced by Jennifer Coolidge? 

KAYLA: I love that. 

SARAH: Oh my God, I'm looking at the fucking cast of this, Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Mel Brooks, Robin Williams 

KAYLA: Damn

SARAH: Paula Abdul, Terry Bradshaw, Drew Carey, Amanda Bynes, Jennifer Coolidge, Paul Giamatti

KAYLA: I have a couple… I have some more… I have some more potentials, I don't know that these would go on my cake, but I think they would be good for a cake

SARAH: I can see the Shark from Shark Tale 

KAYLA: That is not… yeah, that's too conventional. Well, the shark… 

SARAH: Oh, it's the shark 

KAYLA: Which shark? Like the evil one? 

SARAH: Like the big one, the one that's on, I'm looking right now at the poster

KAYLA: Okay, I was gonna say like the main characters from that movie are like obviously hot

[00:50:00]

SARAH: Mm, okay, I'm sorry

KAYLA: Okay, my potential cake additions are Herbie the car…

SARAH: Oh fuck, yeah

KAYLA: And the robot from Meet the Robinsons

SARAH: Mm, yeah. These last ones are getting really specific to people our age

KAYLA: Yes, for sure

SARAH: Um, I think also… see, I'm just looking at like related movies and it… Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon but Toothless is like a child, he starts out as a child. He's like a teenager

KAYLA: Yeah, that’s weird, that’s weird

SARAH: And he also has his girl in How to Train Your Dragon too, and they're very cute, they make a cute couple, so. 

KAYLA: Oh, I was also gonna say Eva from Wall-E

SARAH: Oh, yeah, that's a conventionally attractive robot

KAYLA: I know, I know this

SARAH: All right, do we have anything we want to end on? 

KAYLA: No

SARAH: Okay

KAYLA: I think it just has to be over

SARAH: Yeah, it's just… it's done. So, what is our poll for this week? Are the allos okay? 

KAYLA: I mean, I think it has to be, “who would be on your ‘hear me out’ cake?”

SARAH: Okay. Yes. I think we should have three pools 

KAYLA: Three?

SARAH: I think the first poll is we should give them options that we went over today and have them vote on what is the most absurd like that you cannot hear out

KAYLA: Okay

SARAH: Second, open-ended, “what are your ‘hear me outs’?”

KAYLA: Okay

SARAH: Third, are the allos okay? 

KAYLA: Okay. All right

SARAH: So, what do we want to give as the choices for the first one?

KAYLA: Um, okay…

SARAH: I just closed everything; it's gone. 

KAYLA: I’m trying to think of the ones I was most upset about Megamind, I don't like Megamind 

SARAH: Okay. The concept of vine

KAYLA: Yeah, I don't like that, that makes no sense

SARAH: The number eight

KAYLA: Okay 

SARAH: And… 

KAYLA: That one I understand though 

SARAH: So, the number eight is fuckable but not the concept of vine?

KAYLA: Yeah

SARAH: Okay 

KAYLA: I’ll tell you, because the number eight is a visual thing, if you told me, it's the logo of vine, I would be like, “I don't get it, but okay”

SARAH: I mean that was what the person used to visually depict it with the logo

KAYLA: Yeah, but it's… I can't get behind just the concept, I'm sorry

SARAH: Um, do you think anyone would say the TARDIS? 

KAYLA: Yeah, probably, probably

SARAH: It’s bigger on the inside 

KAYLA: It sounds like something someone would say

SARAH: I'm thinking… I keep thinking of ones that are like too normal, please hold 

KAYLA: Your friend's dad

SARAH: Yeah, I would… see, I was gonna say that but I don't… it's too subjective, because it's like, what do your friends’ dads look like. 

KAYLA: Yeah

SARAH: You know?

KAYLA: Maybe your friend has a really hot dad. 

SARAH: Ooh. The Kool-Aid Man, that's a new one, that’s…

KAYLA: Yeah, I can see that

SARAH: Donkey from Shrek now, I'm just saying a bunch of new ones. The Duolingo owl

KAYLA: I mean, he does have his ass out

SARAH: This is a WLW version, one of them is… Oh, Time from Loki? 

KAYLA: I haven't seen her

SARAH: I believe it's Time from Loki. Hold on. Let me just check 

KAYLA: We were supposed to be done

SARAH: Miss minutes, I believe is her name 

KAYLA: I wanna go to bed 

SARAH: Miss minutes from Loki. I'm sorry, we need to come up with a fourth…

KAYLA: Oh, Aunt Fanny 

SARAH: Okay. Sure, Aunt Fanny. I mean, that one is not that crazy, but okay

KAYLA: She looks kind of wild

SARAH: She looks like a snail but the shell is her butt, it's just her whole ass

KAYLA: Scary a little bit. 

SARAH: Um. Kayla, what is your beef and your juice for this week? 

KAYLA: My beef is midterm, why do I gotta take a test like that? 

SARAH: Why are you in school? 

KAYLA: I don't know, every time I complain about this class, Dean is like, “well, you were the one that wanted to start taking classes” and I'm like, “well, listen…” 

SARAH: Do you have to pay for it? 

KAYLA: It's only $40 because I'm an employee. 

SARAH: Yeah, so you basically don't pay for it

KAYLA: Like the class is usually like three to four thousand dollars. 

SARAH: Yeah 

KAYLA: So, yeah. But I just… don't make me do a test, just, you know?

SARAH: Yeah

KAYLA: And my juice is I found some Utz brand fried pickle flavored potato chips and it's crazy because I've had like pickle-flavored potato chips for like dill, but these were specifically fried pickle… 

SARAH: Fried pickle

KAYLA: And they really… I don't know what they do, but it really does taste specifically like a fried pickle

SARAH: Interesting

KAYLA: You know? 

SARAH: My… it's not even a beef, a juice, I'm… or is it a… it's a fact 

KAYLA: Okay

SARAH: I'm going home an extra time in November because my boss said that if I went home to Kansas ahead of the election he would pay for my flight

KAYLA: So funny 

SARAH: So, I'm going. That's all. Oh, I think I talked about… did I talk about this last week, so I was talking about my miles 

KAYLA: I think you were just telling me about it. Well, maybe you did

SARAH: All right, I don’t know

KAYLA: I don’t know 

SARAH: Hold on, let me come up with something that's actually a beef or a juice my… did I write anything down? I don't know. Thanks.
