It was crazy. Like I had no idea that they were roommates. Mmmm, Not really.
Hello, welcome to our podcast. That's not really roommates episode 1.
Oh my God, that I would love to do an ASMR Episode but you know what, we will save it for another day.
Uh-huh. This is actually an ASMR podcast.
We have the fuzzy pop filter. That's the thing is we can be like. And now I am touching your hair.
Yeah, and I am gonna put on my lip gloss.
Anyways, back to the story. Oh God. Okay I will sucker punch anybody in the throat if I have to listen slurp or chew,
Oh my God, I agree. Anyways back to the story.
So we were both dating frat boys, who are friends, and then I got cancelled as my ex at the time was like. B**** you need friends so...
And then my ex at the time was like, hey, this b**** and needs friends. And, so I had to f****** message this random a** stranger being like, hey, are you okay?
Messaged the like..."Greek System's Most Wanted". Yeah, like, hey wanna be friends?
No, but to be fair, I did not know that at the time. Okay. I did not knowa single f****** thing. And what I messaged you like, looking back at the messages? It was like a ...
Like, "Hey girly. I am, hoping to like reach out to you. I hope you're okay amidst all of this like, so and so and so, I just wanted to wish you like, a you know!"
Like the Gwyneth Paltrow trial? "I wish you well".
Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to send you some good vibes and then we had the most f****** awkward f****** wine night.
Yeah, cuz like what we were at...something and then we realized we lived in the same apartment building.
And so it was like, hey, you want to come sit in my living room and drink wine?
And talk about god knows what? I don't know, but let's do it anyways.
Literally, we had like almost negative things in common. Not actually, that's a lie, because they're both from the Prairies.
You know what? We're going to talk. We should talk about the Prairies in another episode.
Yeehaw b******. My cowboy hat came in the mail today.
Oh my god of course you ordered one.
Yeah. It's like black suede. I'm stoked.
That's kind of fancy thing. You're gonna want to see it.
Well, not right now. We're filming (laugh) but later.
I will put it on for you.
What were we even saying? Yeah, we don't really have anything.
No. I feel like we have a lot of things in common. But just like the exterior, like on a surface level, we're very different.
Yeah, we were in very different sororities. Our exes were like gym rat STEM boys. Who like -
Never mind. I am not gonna finish that sentence.
We both know mine is gonna listen to this so...
That's true, that's true. Let's keep him out.
So they put us together, like parents of toddlers do when they are like hey have a playdate, go.
Right? It's like an arranged marriage.
Oh my God, we were arranged. Marriage-d.
Kind of! Except they never thought about what the repercussions were. Like they did not know they were marrying us basically.
And they didn't understand that we would be more powerful as us two.
Each of us with them. Like yeah, the yam.
So yes, we were arranged married.
Yeah we were and then you started being like hey you're f****** packages in the - in the lobby. And I was like biii-
Your f****** Aritzia package is in the lobby. Come get this s*** before I steal it.
That was like our connection for like I don't even know like I a good like a three months.
The mail? (laughs) I was your mailman.
We had a talking stage and that talking. Stage consisted of Catherine, literally texting me. Every time I got mail like an f****** mailman or like.
Guess what? Your packages never got stolen so.
They never did get stolen. That's true. And then we got the same jobs - not the same jobs.
This was so much farther up. So then we like became friends. Obviously, my mail trick worked. So like.
True. It was a great opening -
It was a great foundation, you know.
So use it. I guess it works. Yeah, hidey-ho there neighbour!
Use your f****** mail. And then we like, became friends with other girlfriends of frat bros.
So we had, like, our own little squad.
Which I gotta say. Like, there's still you and me even though, literally none of us are dating in the frat boys anymore.
That is true. And like of those girls I think, like some of them we still can call our very, very, very close friends.
Like Marcela, who's f****** rad.
Marcela, if you're listening, I love you.
We love her. She's great.
I am sorry. That bread can actually annihilate you.
Marcela is the type who like, if I am out of club, and I am trying to fight somebody...if the other person is Marcela, I am walking away. I am like, nah, no way. You looked at me sideways, I am out. Like you win, I am done. But this kid, you can get taken out my cracker. And she's done.
Yeah, I love Marcela. Um, I guess thanks to our exes for making this all happen.
Okay, so, here's learning moment. Everything happens for a reason.
I traumatized my poor family for two and a half years-
To the Nth degree. My mom the other day was like, do you know how many sleepless nights I had worrying about what would happen if you married this man?
Listen, I relate to Whitney as well! So please don't knock her. Because ... here's the thing. Do we want what's best for you? Absolutely. Did we wanna like impose on you ... like, "Hey, this might not be the best thing"? Absolutely not. Because you're a grown-ass woman, you can make your own decisions. But the man showed his cards anyways. The man who showed his true colors...
For so long. But finally -
Yeah....No I am glad that that's over.
I have told you like - So the day that I decided that like you know what I can't do this anymore. I was like I am gonna end it, it's fine like it's run its course whatever blah like FaceTiming my mom right before I do it. I am like yeah and it was the end of June and okay, a little bit of context for those who don't know, my lovely brother is our executive producer. So he's gonna hear this, his birthdays in mid-june. Yeah, so this was the end of June, and I am telling my mom like, okay, like I am going to break up. It's fine. I am gonna go do it now. I will call you later but, like, whatever, and she was super receptive, super nice about it. Like, I know this was hard, no matter where you slice it, like, you came to this on your own blah blah blah.
You just know. Whitney was f****** celebrating like in the background. She was just like, "Yes! This is finally happening."
So, speaking of that. Not five seconds after I hang up the FaceTime call, I get a text message from my mother.
Oh my God I remember this.
In - In all capitals, that goes "Happy birthday! Kathryn's breaking up with him, it's finally happening! Exclamation mark, exclamation mark, streamers, streamers, streamers, balloons, balloons". And I was like, "Mom wrong child".
And she immediately called me (I probably would have sent you the screenshot). She immediately calls me back, crying laughing. You can hear my dad wheezing in the background. He's laughing so hard.
Do you think she did that on purpose though?
No. Cause she was so embarrassed. She was like, "I am so sorry that was for your brother.
I know this is her! And then in true brotherly fashion, my brother texts me nothing but the Nike logo of "Just do it".
No, freaking way that is actually legendary. That is absolutely like one for the books. Wow. Props to the Walker family, honestly, like please adopt me. You already have, but do it again. Please? Just do it in the words of Andrew.
The words of Andrew Walker when you're going through a really tough relationship and you're like coming to some very difficult decisions.
Yeah. Just do it. So easy, so simple.
Yeah, so that was fun. But you know what? We survived and out of all of that, if I got nothing else but ...you I guess-
What did you say that so weird? Thank you that is so convincing I really appreciate it.
Well we're stuck with each other anyways and now you have a podcast! Haha - intro only took 16 minutes to record.
I am not gonna lie I have to look at my news articles (quite literally TikTok).
I don't know why I spent five years doing bio when literally, my brain can hold a plethora of -
Well...pop culture! Basically like no information. I mean like you know, things like...I don't know why it's just like pop culture especially with like, I don't know, TikTok things happening.
I have seen every angle of Sofia Richie's wedding and-
I really do wanna talk about it because here's the thing. I am freaking - I did not like Sofia Richie okay, take this with a grain of salt.
I am judging you already.
Because her and Scott Disick's relationship -
Well yeah, that was weird.
She was a baby! And, so I was like...also she's like kind of our age. And so I was a little baffled by that and her wanting to be a godmother to like three kids. Not godmother, stepmother.
Scott Disick, has got to have like, weaseled his way in that one. You know? You know how if he's got like, it's always history teachers right in high school who like -
It's so niche, right? But like, very much history teacher vibes of like, you're just so mature for your age.
I don't know. But if Scott didn't speak of all people is coming up to you and it's like, hey, you're sick, like I have no spine and will cave.
Right? Like, I don't know what you'd say to that, and he's like a millionaire, like "Sure, I'll come along for the ride -
And he's connected to the Kardashians?
Exactly! Okay, maybe I was wrong back then. But now that I -
Llana did not check herself before she wrecked herself.
Exactly, I am admitting I am at fault. Humility is one of my characteristics.
Ah, something I don't have.
Okay, listen, I was wrong. And I should have been on her side because that wedding- the wedding that she just had...
I have I had because her wedding was chefs kiss, you know?
I am ready to cut off the acrylics and have just the like clean nail. I am ready to like wear the slick bun all the time. Yeah, I am ready for the like martini girl old money aesthetic.
It's so like timeless. And her makeup? I came across her makeup artist from her wedding day.
Okay. Yes. So, you know what I am talking about is just. Like this old beautiful glowing, sunkissed woman, who has like, zero makeup on her face. And I was like. Okay, first of all, I wanna be you in like, 50 years and second of all, how did you only have like, less than 10 products on her face?
You have got the genes that like you...You're not gonna age until you're like 100, so you're fine.
Yeah. But you know that makeup artist. I can't believe she ... her makeup look on Sofia Richie was so simple and it's just like, I am like, maybe I should start like, not wearing eyelashes anymore, which is a big revelation. Because I always wear lashes people, like -
Has the biggest emotional attachment is not actually to her longtime boyfriend, but.
Or my septum piercing, but it is my fake eyelashes.
And her dresses. Did you see her like three wedding dresses?
Yes, They're everywhere dude.
Her rehearsal dinners one.
I would like, I could not be trusted with that much beading. I would get things snagged, I would pull s*** it off. Like, that's not, I don't have the wherewithal to navigated garment like that.
Yeah. And where was this held? It looked kind of really hot like -
Oh s***. I wanted to say Greece but maybe I should've looked this up.
Sacre bleu. And I passed French. French was the one language that I got 16 percent in on my transcript.
Oh my god. I thought it was - I thought.
See. I even f****** knew that!
I dropped out of French. I have a W on my transcript for withdrawn from French 101 and I have 16% in Spanish 101. That's it.
Okay, you are correct. It is the south of France that she got married in.
Yeah, no, that was exquisite. And now-
so for our arranged marriage we'll go to the South of France. And wear Chanel!
Oh my gosh, I used to not like Chanel either. But again she's opening my eyes.
Okay, controversial, you give me Balenciaga vibes but like we don't like them, so we're not gonna say that.
Like, you know, The Hourglass bag.
The Balenciaga hourglass? Ma'am.
See the thing is, I am glad I didn't get into Balenciaga before they were canceled because maybe I would have liked them.
They just give off the like effortless cool girl vibe that's like I Just couldn't give less of an f*** and let me chain-smoke my vape real quick.
Ouch, because you know what's sitting on my lap right now?
Literally this b**** cannot. She cannot go longer than what 20 minutes.
Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of bad but I need my lungs to match all my outfits...
Black. Yeah, you know what I have heard that lung cells can regenerate us like as soon as you quit vaping before you're like 30. Yeah. I will say I need to fact check all of the facts that I am saying. How darest I.
Because again, we read this totally in a news article and not on a tiktok video.
Here's another one that I had fact checked the other day and was f****** embarrassing.
So we both have raging ADHD. Sick. Both medicated. Love that. Yes. I saw TikTok that was like, "Hey vitamin C stops your like- limits your body's ability to absorb stimulants so you shouldn't take your ADHD medication with like orange juice". So I was like f*** that's nifty. My brother asked his doctor.
My brother's doctor was like, "Nah that's not real".
I like I have been avoiding orange juice for so long.
oh my God. Reason number 25. Why you shouldn't follow news here on Tick-Tock
Blindly follows s*** I see on Tiktok. And I won't even think to fact check it before I tell all these people this, and then they're like, that's not real. I am like, "What do you mean?"
No because you told me this in person and then I was like, oh my don't like I can't, I can't drink orange juice. I can't like eat oranges in the morning -
Ma'am, I took this so far that we'd now stock emergency packets at work. Just in case any of us with ADHD accidentally double dose on our meds. Take this Vitamin C powder, turns out, it doesn't even do anything.
Kathryn's so f****** stupid.
How...what have you done?
I mean, it's not the end of the world, like if anything I am just gonna be f******* ready for cold season.
True. We're so immune to everything now. Like, it's kind of crazy. Okay. Wait.I have another thing. I have one last thing and it needs to be talked about because this blew my mind. So, you know, Sydney Sweeney. And Glen Powell. And apparently, -
Yes! Okay. No it has to- Have you seen the way they looked at each other?
Now but I did see today that his ex-girlfriend just like confirmed that they broke up
Okay. No I heard she unfollowed Sydney Sweeney. Which, like fair, and I was like, you know what, this girl
Yeah, I do not blame her with Sydney Sweeney looking like a beautiful ,sunkissed goddess.Just like frolicking around with her boyfriend of four years?
I fully blocked this girl, on. Every platform that I had because my ex-boyfriend would like her bikini photos.
That's like, look at a sight out of mind.
And then she was my server at a concert. The other night. I was like, oh my God, I know who you are anyway so way. But yes.
Scary. Allegedly. The thing is she also has a fiance and no word from him. So I think it's kind of weird.
We'll need to look into this one further. We'll need to consult more news articles.
Like, yes. Very credible sources.
We will have to do some deep diving, intense research.
Yeah. I just like, okay, if you were to guess though, like do you think it's a PR stunt, or do you think they actually like, canoodled, you know?
I mean, the only reason I know about this movie is because of this. Like, I had no clue that they were making a rom-com until it was like, oh, are they cuddling do we do anything as like, what the f***** this about? So maybe.
That's true. You never know.
But we will have to do some extensive research into it. What's another thing? I am just like, going back through the amount of time. So we send each other the same videos.
Oh my gosh, the F1 guys. Let me, let me just tell you.
Let me just say, if I ever -
I will go back to French 101.
This monolingual b****. Will..will relearn French for you and that is saying something. Okay? She's on her knees.
How do you say, how do you? How do you say - what's funny is like? We don't know France French, we know Quebecois French.
Oh my God. It's so like aggressive.
Excuse you. I like a toilet.
Seat. Yeah, I like that. Oh no. I thought I was sick because I knew how to ask.
Go to the water fountain. Oh my.
S*** my pants. She's sweet venkat.
Else. That's all I know. Mammy your might cut out, so it was like, just me. Hey, isn't that basically French like.
Some people but other times I am like.
This is sweet notes, it honeys.
Like France French is like butter. It could melt in my mouth. You could like sing me a sweet lullaby and I would like go to bed like an f****** baby, and I am a really bad sleeper.
See what's funny is we're going to release this and then her boyfriend is gonna just like obviously listen to this on the DL and then they're gonna be falling asleep. Llana will be like...So close to dear, sweet, slumber. And he's gonna be all up in her ear like "Je m'appelle...Sacre bleu".
Now you just start speaking Tagalog back to him.
Oh my god. He and he will reply better than me at this point because he's been practicing way more than me.
I don't know how to feel about it, to be quiet honest. Like a white dude like speaking Filipino-
He can't one-up me. This is my problem like I am a single b**** and I don't care. But I swear to God I will outdo this man every opportunity I f***** can. Because at the end of the day it's me and you m***********.
Hey I think he's already accepted that.
Let's be honest. Has he though? I bought you bird classes like for Christmas and this b**** gets you SZA tickets. How f****** dare you.
To be fair, honestly, you have been the best giver and now...
Don't kill me but it's neck-in-neck.
Oh this is why I bought your birthday present like a month and a half ago.
No. Okay you can't keep saying that because I will one. I will crack. I will crack but I don't want to crack and I have been-
Do you ever just get your friend like the best thing ever like I know. And like there's a catch to it too and you're gonna be like yeah, is it? I am so scared. It's not. And you will be like oh my God.
Oh my god. I have told so many people, too.
And I know that. And everyone's keeping it from me, and I can't stand it.
Let me give it to you way too early.
Oh my God, don't even say that because if you say one more time, don't.
No, we're not doing this right now.
Here's the thing though is, I would give it to you. Early and then Matt would find out what it is. And then one up me like a b****. So no.
Actually would because he's actually really competitive.
I don't think he knows that there's like an unspoken feud. Very- It's a loving feud. It's like-
I love you but I want to kill you.
I love you but she's mine. F*** off. I love you, but I am better than you and I don't have to try. I have already won.
Yeah, that's so true, and I am sorry Matthew. I hate to say it but it's true. Well, this is our first episode, so there will be more.
So, this is just my mom listening and then telling me she didn't listen.
I think there will be more people than that. So if you're listening, hit us up. Let us have a chat.
We have an Instagram. It's @notreallyroommates.
Yep. We have that is @notreallyroommates.
Do we follow back? You will have to find out.
But we will be posting fun dilly doo dah stuff in there. And-
What is a fun diddly doo dah Llana? Please define that.
Good question. I just make up a lot of words is to be quite honest. My sister made our cover art, so thank you to her, and I am so excited.
And we did our, we finalized our intro, last week and your cat is on your counter.
Oh my God. He's licking my pans that's so sanitary.Mmm, The oil just lick it off.
Delicious. Um, So we have a few ideas for segments that we're going to sprinkle it around few episodes see how it goes. So we have triple W what are we watching? Yeah I need to get back on my parents Netflix, so I can start watching this.
Oh my God, you're off? Because it re- it kicks you out every two weeks.
I got kicked out. Am I gonna take my whole a** TV and walk across the street to sign into their Wi-Fi? No. So-
It's kind of unbelievable, especially since you guys like live two blocks down.
Not even it is...We timed it. My parents live in the apartment building. Next door to me from leaving and locking my door to unlocking and walking into their door all elevators, included it is three minutes and 23 seconds.
Oh my God, I don't understand that.
Yeah well your parents live on a whole different land mass than you so.
Exactly. It is kind of different but you know what, we're going to have that segment anyways, once you log back into that Netflix. We're going to link back in.
And we have Totally a News Article, which we have talked about already here. It's just literally stupid things we see on TikTok. Two Chicks on a Date: So we will go to restaurants and then talk about it.
Talk about it, review the food, we love food.
Any excuse to go to Nightingale, I will take it.
Any excuse to eat anything truffle flavored? Sign us up.
Any excuse to have sushi?
Absolutely. Sign me up. Yeah we're gonna be doing that soon.
And then sorry, bro. We need a different name for this, "the one about friendships", get it? Because, oh, wait, that's funny. Never mind.
Oh my god. Did you just get that? I was like, whoa, this is a Friends reference right, like she would get that. Uh, like. Come on,
I'm sorry. Friends is my comfort. Show. I have seen the whole thing like 70 times.
She is actually obsessed. She has mugs. She has all of the paraphernalia. Like, literally any-
I am wholeheartedly trying to find the yellow frame for my peephole.
I think I'm gonna write this down. We have ideas for guests to come on...So-
Oh my God, our therapist we have a joint therapist everyone. And that's how we know. We're married. Remarried like.
It's really f****** best.
Yeah, so that would be sick because she guided us through our quarter life crisis.
We need to talk about- we should and we will probably talk about our lovely beautiful fur babies because we both also got them kind of around the same time. And they're both Divas.
Yeah, they're both Divas so.
That will be another one. Like tons of things to come. Poe and Polly are the best. Yeah, merch ideas? Crazy cat Mom. Crazy dog mom. Yeah, yeah, it's okay. Am I early already thinking about merge ideas? Maybe. Do I think that it should be like a varsity sweatshirt. And it says frat house reject? Absolutely.
Oh my God. I think that is brilliant. We gotta I wasn't going to table this for a nice conversation because that's kind of funny.
Or like a lease agreement between two roommates?
Even though we never actually were ever roommates.
We were never ever roommates, just to be clear. But we did live in the same building.
And now we work at the same Law Firm. So we are always together.
At some point we need to have my brother on whose our executive producer just because he's so great and his opinions on everything or f****** delightful.
He is like Ross from Friends-
But so delightful. So we will have him on at some point. That will be one where we'll like probably post a clip-on TikTok or Instagram or Whatever of like us shooting the s*** with Andrew, so that it be kind of figures out what he's like. And then we will have like ask him anything.
It's so easy to shoot the s*** with Andrew. Also, it's like you say one thing and it like riles him up, and he goes (mumbles).
And like he will roast you but it will be like so smooth that you won't notice for a hot second and then it's like oh that hurt my feelings. But why is was that 20 minutes ago? Yeah. Wow. Oh God. So that's. That's where we're planning to go with this thing for now.
We don't know how this will end.
Yeah. Obviously you need better wi-fi because you keep cutting out.
Really? Oh my God. That's so bad.
At some point we will just get together and do it in one place. However, that's not today but yeah, until then thanks for joining us on episode one of Not Really Roommates
