Christi Lukasiak (0:22)

Welcome back to the Barre. These are your two favorite pitches. We're not allowed to say we're the good girls. Oh, people said no, nobody liked it.

No one liked that we tried to claim to be good girls.

Kelly Hyland (0:38)

That's good because I don't like to be a good girl, I like to be a bitch anyway, so perfect.

Christi Lukasiak (0:42)

Me too, professional bitches. Do you remember when Randy told, I don't even know if he told, like Kelly found a way to make, like to have a job where she's a bitch.

Kelly Hyland (0:52)

Just being a bitch, yeah. Perfect.

Christi Lukasiak (0:56)

Good job, Jenny. See, we bitch about reality TV, but what other job do you show up with that they give you alcohol and say, be a bitch?

Kelly Hyland (1:07)

Sounds good to me.

Christi Lukasiak (1:08)

It's the dream until it's not. Yeah. Well, before we get started, I just have to say, obviously, if you are watching on the Patreon channel, I am not at home. I'm in a very different location. I'm in New Orleans. And so things are a little off today because I can't access Patreon to read the Patreons. Kelly, you are technologically challenged, so you can't read the Patreons. So we will be back next week with the Patreons. So hang in there. If you haven't heard your name yet, you definitely will.

Sorry about that.

Kelly Hyland (1:45)

Yes, it's because I'm challenged. I don't know why they don't come up on mine.

Christi Lukasiak (1:50)

I don't know.

Kelly Hyland (1:50)

I think you're signed in as the like coordinator or the owner of the thing. And so mine, I don't know. It doesn't work. I don't know.

Christi Lukasiak (2:03)

Look, we are not the smartest. Okay. No, we're the funniest.

Kelly Hyland (2:10)

Yes.

Christi Lukasiak (2:13)

All right. Well, I'm so freaking happy that it is your week this week because I hated this week's episode. So I am so upset.

Kelly Hyland (2:20)

Yeah, I didn't like it either.

Christi Lukasiak (2:22)

Oh, I'm a big, fat, giant, hoebag bitch in this episode.

Kelly Hyland (2:27)

I just didn't like it for Brooke.

I actually, it was funny. I was talking to Brooke on the phone and I, well, I actually sent her a screenshot of whenever you watch the episode and you pause it, like mine, if I don't watch it for a little bit, it comes up and there's like a different picture. Yeah, it's not like part of the thing. And it was Brooke and her red leotard leaning backwards on the ballet bar. And she's just like looking to the side. I love that picture of her. I actually, I took a screenshot on my phone, but I sent it to her and said, this is the episode that you had to take Abby to lunch and ask her back and here's what she says. She says, I think that was probably the scariest moment in my life.

Christi Lukasiak (3:09)

No shit.

Kelly Hyland (3:10)

Yeah, she's like that. I think that was seriously the scariest moment of the 24 years that I've been living, the scariest moment of my life. I'm like, I'm sad.

Christi Lukasiak (3:18)

That's so sad. That's so sad.

Kelly Hyland (3:23)

Here's the picture. I don't know if you can see it. I see.

You see it?

Christi Lukasiak (3:29)

That is pretty. I can't see it, but I know what picture it is.

Kelly Hyland (3:32)

You know what you mean. I'm trying to show that. I'm on Patreon, but I don't.

Christi Lukasiak (3:36)

Get closer to the camera.

No, Kelly, camera. There you go.

Kelly Hyland (3:40)

But look, it gets blurrier, so I'm trying to pull away.

I don't know. Whatever, and I actually took screen shots of Holly, too, that I want to show. We're technologically challenged. Holly's face on some of these things, like when I paused it, oh my gosh, she was hysterical. I know. Hysterical.

Christi Lukasiak (3:57)

I know. Wait, are you wearing a leotard?

Kelly Hyland (4:00)

No, I'm wearing one of my tops in the thing, but I had a sweater vest over it, and I had to take it off. I was way too hot.

Christi Lukasiak (4:08)

You can't wear a sweater vest in Florida.

Kelly Hyland (4:11)

I go long sleeves on for you people. Sweating my ass off, and we just got started.

Christi Lukasiak (4:17)

Well, I'm sweating my ass off in New Orleans today, so twin. Yeah.

Kelly Hyland (4:22)

What do you drink in there in New Orleans?

Christi Lukasiak (4:24)

I am so excited because I walked to Lafite, and I got a Voodoo Daiquiri.
