Gabbie: Alright let's get to a couple more questions.
Irene: Is it— was— Wait, have we asked a question yet?
Gabbie: We've— though, this whole episode has been based off of questions.
Irene: Oh really!?
Gabbie: Yeah.
Irene: Oh, yeah.
Gabbie: They kind of spawned into other conversations but, like, it started from there.
Irene: Yеah, yeah, yeah.
Gabbie: Lеt's see [Scrolls through Instagram questions] What was the first song you had Payton and Irene listen to and what was their reactions? I'm assuming they're referring to, that's Nicole, a song of mine. I don't know, to be honest. I have no idea.
Irene: I mean Glass House is fucking good.
Gabbie: Thank you. Where will you guys travel to when the shit-show ends? I've never been to Hawaii and I would really love to go.
Irene: Really!?
Gabbie: Never been. Would like to been.
Irene: Gabbie. You would love it!
Gabbie: I know, that's why I want to go.
Irene: I'm— mama you've been to Dubai and you've never been to Hawaii?
Gabbie: I've never been to Dubai. Have been to Dubai? I had a layover in Dubai. And I was there for like eight hours. So, yes, I've been to Dubai.
Irene: Oh wow, that's just crazy to me. It's that's like
that's the place that I imagine if someone was like, "if you could have a house somewhere, where would you have it?". I feel like you would say Hawaii
Gabbie: Oh for sure, but that's just based on what I think Hawaii would be. I'd love to go to Hawaii. Payton and I were planning a trip to Hawaii and then you know.
Irene: Yeah, yeah Juliet and her boyfriend had to cancel their trip.
Gabbie: Very sad. I love Juliet. Her boyfriend I don't know as well but I love him too.
Irene: But he's a peach.
Gabbie: "Favorite school year K-12?" what a question
Irene: Whoa I don't know I think I really
enjoyed second grade a lot first grade I
loved mrs. cook second grade I loved mr.
Gunn and he saved me from getting
stabbed on the street once garden yeah I
almost got stabbed when I was little and
I was right outside of my teacher's
house and he ran out and scared him away
wait yeah okay is this like a story for
a different part or you get in line
people probably think that I'm like
joking or exaggerating when I say I like
grew up in the
Oh like I really did wait what happened
um I was just like playing outside down
the street with my actually was I'm with
my sister I don't remember if anybody
else was with me I just remember those
two boys there were two boys and like
your age ish yeah they were a little bit
older but like we were all in like the
second to fourth grade range and one of
them said something to me and I was like
yeah so and like started fighting with
him back and then he got really close to
me and pulled a knife on me and like had
it really close to my stomach and he I
don't know if he would have stabbed me
but my teacher was in his house we were
right outside of his house and he came
out and like scared him away and he was
like are you okay and I was like yes oh
my god
yeah we heard a lot growing up too like
there were always a lot of like gunshots
going on in my area and like my friend
got pistol-whipped ones she was just
Newcastle was a very I mean it still is
like a troubled town and I'm just like
hoping that at some point if I like make
it big enough that I can help in some
way it's hard to say like how to help a
town but there's just it's good people
who just kind of get sucked into a cycle
like there's a there's a lot of drug
problems in my town like heroin is a
very very big problem in Newcastle right
now um yeah I don't know I lost a lot of
friends growing up too - like
drug-related shootings and stuff my
friend Freddie uh I loved him he was so
dope he was just one of those
guys like in the hallway always had
something nice to say to me and like
gassed me up when nobody else did Oh
Freddie I know I'm he was so great and
he he was in a drug-related shooting and
he was driving and he like got shot
while he was driving and then his car
like wrecked obviously because he was
driving and got shot oh yeah loved him a
lot of suicides growing up - we lost so
many people like from my
class like starting high school to end
in high school we just lost so many kids
to bullying we lost them to suicide we
had people like kill themselves in
prison yeah I was just sad yeah and a
lot of just dumb pointless drug related
shootings
anyways so favorite grade K through 12
probably second because my teacher saved
my life um I loved high school probably
like 11th or 12th even though like 12th
was obviously hard but I did love high
school so yeah you had a lot of good
friends yeah best memories from
childhood
I know Irene's what it's mine this bread
is caput there are a lot of oh I I I'm
very I'm very lucky I had a really nice
childhood for the most part yeah like
any my family was pretty close like even
though my parents had you know their
problems like anyone does like we had a
lot of nice memories and my I used to
you know at the time as annoying as it
could be every once in a while like I
would have to be home for dinner every
night at 6:00 and like obviously now
those are some of my favorite memories
of course of course will be you
I've actually lately been saying I
should start writing them down I'm
usually not sober when they come to me
but I'm like I just remembered a
beautiful memory from my childhood and I
don't have a lot of memories from
childhood or at least positive memories
I have a lot of repressed memories and
traumatic memories but I have very few
positive memories so when they come to
me I wish I would write them down one of
them was the Furby story that I wrote
about or talked about last time we used
to in thunderstorms sit on the side
porch or the front porch and eat frozen
fruit together and we would do shadow
puppets in thunderstorms and I loved
that like it was it's one of my favorite
things just like sitting on the porch
with my family listening to the Thunder
listening to the rain eating frozen
fruit doing shadow puppets and then my
sister and I used to play in the gutter
a lot so I thought that everybody did
this but apparently
there aren't gutters in a lot of states
but we had like ditches on the sides of
the roads that you have no you're in
California so you definitely don't have
them no to me the gutter has always been
just that little like right angle where
the sidewalk hits the street yeah so we
have like straight up ditches on the
side of each road so like if you are in
it you're stuck you got to get pulled
out oh yes I know what you're talking
about
I've seen it in like movies and stuff
yeah but we get a lot of rain but Payton
doesn't have them West Virginia and he
gets as much rain as we did because
we're on the border of each other but we
when there would be a big storm my
sister and I would put on our swimsuits
and go play in the rain in the ditch
well I love so fun it was so fun because
the water would be gushing so fast but
like you can't get hurt like even if you
fall you just get up and it was so much
fun and thinking back on it extremely
dangerous
because uh you know lightening our
parents usually made us come in when
there was lightning but yeah just little
memories like that very sweet you know
what's weird to think about
hey toys are so sucky but we had so much
fun yeah I saw a tweet the other day
that I was dying laughing at
it's my favorite tweet I think it's a
date somebody was like yo tell me how I
used to sit and have fun with my dolls
for five hours at a time and all you
could do is brush their hair and make
them talk what the we would have so
much fun yeah isn't that funny like even
if somebody said I'm giving you a
hundred dollars you have to buy a toy
from the toy aisle I'd be like okay
whereas if that was if somebody said
that to me when I was eight I would have
my pants yeah I mean some
toys were fun like sure but think about
Easy Bake Oven that's the toy that
you're like oh that's an incredible toy
you use it three times and you're like I
did that oh dude well that's what's so
funny so many bakers that I know like
will share their Easy Bake Oven
experiences and I'm like oh I use mine
exactly as many packets came in the box
and then never got another one again man
yeah same but it would be fun Irene for
you for your channel I was
thinking that I think that you should
try to actually create one of your cakes
oh that's a very good idea yeah like you
have a very specific style of design
that you do I think you should try to
make one of your gourmet cakes oh that's
a very I'm writing that down yeah do it
