Now, this is actually Rachel of the past speaking to you Rachel of the Present is somewhere in Mexico enjoying her life and not looking at her phone Rachel of the past, however, feel a little bit guilty about not being able to produce a season nine finale. And also wanted to give you guys a little bit of gossip to tide you over between seasons. We know we're taking a bit of a longer break this time. We really want to make sure seeason ten All stars is as good as it possibly can be, which means we're gonna take our time with it But also we are benevolent here at normal gossip. So we are repeating some actions We are doing what we did last month in February, which is giving you one of our subscriber episodes from last year that is just me and a guest responding to some gossip that we had not heard before And this episode, y'all, Well, let me be honest, I got a little high before this episode. You can maybe tell once you start listening to it. But I remember very vividly the last gossip morsel in this episode, which features none other than Jonlin Hill. Um and It's It's a doozy. If you Listen to this with children. maybe listen to the last gossip morsel by yourself first and then decide whether or not you want to explain things to your children That's all I'm going to give. That's all the spoilers I'm gonna to give But this episode is truly so fun I love JQ so much. It was such a delight to do this episode and I hope you guys enjoy it Thank you, Thank you so much for joining me again Of course I'm happy to be here. You know I'm always happy to gossip I am so excited, not least because the gossip you brought me in the episode that we did I still think about to this day So I have a feeling you're gonna be a great companion for this ride Oh yeah, oh yeah. you know, I think about that piece of gossip too. I'm just like, I hope that lady's doing well and that man is not. Exactly, exactly. we're on the same page. All right, perfect Let's go. Yeah So I have this friend ammazing person. She's a great friend, super generous. She's a great mom. She's like really successful in this high powered corporate job And her husband is a little bit of a semi hoarder So She was constantly trying to declutter her house because the husband just wouldn't let anything go. And one of the things he wouldn't let go was like this Kids chair attached to a desk, you know how like especially it seems like old timey schools would have the desk attached to the chair And it's just not even good for her own kids to use because it's like The wood's all splintery and there's a nail head sticking out and it was just nobody was getting any use out of it. But her husband was like Not willing to let this go unless this went to like a family with a child who could enjoy it. He just had this vision his head So she like gets on Facebook Marketplace and tries to sell it and tries to find it and like she's just not finding you know, somebody who's willing to take this thing. So then she has the genius idea that she should hire a task rabbit to pretend likeike they are picking it up. and buying it from Facebook Marketplace for their small child So She hires this guy. she's like He was incredible. He came in and he was like My nephew is coming to live with me from Dublin and I'm going to give this to him and its it's so beautiful. like that it's been lived in and loved and I am just thank you, thank you so much. and she made sure to tip him very well Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Also it's funny, can I just say It was funny 'cause old time, I'm like, ooh, that was elementary school What do you mean by old timey? What kind of seats do you have in school now? I wasm also just like maybe my elementary school. My elementary school was like an Albot elementary type so maybe we were behind. I went to public school in Texas, so o girl they You're lucky you escap No, let me not do that to the No you're right And you're correct. I'm lucky. Did you learn about slavery? Probably not. I learned it wasn't a cause of the Civil War Also, can I also say, I'm not ready to be merry because the way I would have just been like I'm gonna get rid of this when you' not of the house. What you gonna do? No, what are you gonna do if it's gone? She could have lied before like there were so many. steps before this. But I guess to break this down chronologically, I really need to know more about this semi hoarder husband because why do you want to give away a splintery seat so bad? Like what child deserves lintter se This is like how they gave one pair of toms away to kids, but they fell apart And it sounds like there's no sentimental value. He just needs it to go to a happy home Like Sir, no. Yeah I have a lot of questions for him. I think the wife is ingenious in her solution making because hiring a task rabbit to be an actor is like what I would never did she look up on task rabbit? What task did she look up on task rabbit to get this guy to come and pretend D I get this up in the woods on alwn for decades and the idea, why don't you hire a task rabbit to be an actor to pretend to take this away would never cross my mind. No. And that's why she's a high powered. This is why she has. I don't have it all. That's why she has it all because she thinks differently than I do I clearly, she's the original girl boss in I'm like. What's her name? Sophia, what's her face? Is that you I read that book and lean in very earnestly when I was twenty five We all make mistakes when we're twenty five. Listen That's what being twenty five is for. actually. It is. Yes Dublin, this man said my nephew is coming from Dublin. he deserves some kind of award, some kind of imy. Get Denzel on the phone. get like, you know how he paid for like I think he paid for like Chadwood Boseman to go to Yale drrama S schoolool or something. We Oh yes. Yes. That's what we need for this young man. No, exactly. Dinzell Washington also, I think helped Glen Powell, who I always want to call Glenn Close and also Austin Butler Yes. M. He helped his own son, which is one of my favorite pieces of gossip y'all can't see the face I'm making, but I am like It reallyally makes you think. really makes you. Re It really makes you think. It really makes you think We are going far afield. How much does she pay the task rabbit? You know what my guess is, maybe the task rabbit was trash removal. I don't know if that's an option For tas Yeah you can have someone come pick up stuff and just take it to a dumpster. I've done that before. Yeah, like Tas where Ib had built my bed because my boyfriend who I was with broke up with me before I could build my bed. And I was like, Dang, I need somebody to do this. Let me open up that. Could have just waited a week. Like, hello. He did hang some shelves though. I think he knew he was gonna break up with me. so he was like, let me get this. And you know what for that? stillill fuckem but No literally bare minimum. Yeah Beare the bars on the ground Yeah, and just to be like, hey, When you come pick this up, I need a favor. I hope that the husband finds out someday and like perhaps goes and see a professional about his hoarding time to talk to some. Yeah, should talk. Your wife is going to extreme lengths to stop you from having to deal with this. And I can only imagine, they were probably fighting over that chair Like actively, like I could just hear me like, what do you want What do we have to do? I work so hard. No literally day in. keep day out crap into the house. I can't come home to a clean house, like I can hear it. I can hear it I hope that the removal of that chair felt like some kind of burden lifted off of her shoulders at the very least. Yes She'd be like, Really reclaiming her housem. Exactly, exactly. Even if just for a moment, you deserve peeace Queen. Shout out to you sh Okay, what's the next morsel? That one was great. We're starting off on a high note. My gossip story is about my conception which took place in the nineteen eighties. in Florida, so you kind of have like a visual sense of the amount of dayglow. My mom was on the hiring committee at the university where she worked. and the dean or somebody before they went into one of the interviews for a new professor, she said, Ohh, this guy we're about to interview. you're going to love him And And that turned out to be my father. Important detail, I guess they were both separated at the time that they met. It was scandalous. Oh and like one very cute detail and this is very my dad. One of the first things she noticed about him on the day of the hiring committee was that he was wearing a very crisp Very cheap suit with the tag still sticking off the sleeve So he and she basically like immediately fall like headlong into incredibly like passionate love with each other There's like no time in there. They just like basically love it for a sight as far as I can tell. And I don't know how long they were secretly together before I was conceived, which my mom has told me so many times very disturbingly on the beach. I don't know why I fel like an important detail. but and then so then my mom was pregnant and you know, there's like this countdown clock of like you can only hide that from your cow workkers at the university for so long. So some months go by and they're kind of working out their interpersonal stuff with their exes. I think some divorce papers come into play But the people at the university still don't know this. rightight when my mom was just about to pop and it wasn't going to be something she could hide any longer. She and this is like very much the chaos demon energy that my mom has for Bet and for wororse, She went to the university gossip and he was like the person who would always spill the tea on everything. And she sat him down in the launchroom And she said to him I'm going to tell you something. I'm going give you a piece of information And you can be the one to share it I have told nobody else this piece of information, and I'm giving it to you. And if you think it's worth it, I want you to give me eighty dollars And I mean, I haven't done the math for what that is inflation wise from nineteen eighty five. But And then She told him, I'm pregnant with his child And he went to the ATM, got eighty dollars, gave it to her, and went and told all of their colleagues this amazing piece of gossip. So yeah, so gossip is like the foundation of my story on earth That is the best that is amazing because okay, I there are several Rachel, there there are several things. No C I go, go, go, go, go. Okaykay. I'm gonna I'm gonna to work backwards. one idea of getting gossip so good, you're like, yeah, I'm gonna pay you for that. That's amazing. Oh hold on. while I'm gonna Google, how much is eighty dollars from nineteen? That was not inflation is crazy It's about three hundred and thirteen dollars sixty four cents. period. Even if she was born in the later eighties, I know that's right. Like that is you imagine paying three hundred American dollars for a piece of gossip. I think it was worth it. I think it was worth it. Also I would be if someone came to me in this situation, I would feel two ways because one I'm like Dang, I'm known as the gossip, like that's my reputation, but also it's a thing of like, I'm happy to use my powers for good girl. If this is what you want, I got you. Be like Yeahah. I' honored. Yeah. Yes. no exactly. I can definitely like be like, okay, we had lunch l, I'll get some drink with some cooworer be likeang Also, wouldn't it be so just delicious to be in the position of having information no one else does and being charged with disseminating it. Like you can tell everyone you don't even have to keep a secret, but you know you have information that's going to make everyone in the rooms jaw drop. That's incredible Honestly sit on it for thirty minutes just to be like, just to like rel No honestly, it's not I do not like spreading gossip. I like being told gossip and having the information, doing nothing with it, but just being like, I am aware. I'm aware of what's going on in the world around me. that can help me make informed decisions. that can help me not put people in uncomfortable situations. That just I just like knowing. Yeah, I also And with the main story, what I love about Almost every boomer And I think people have lost sight of this, and I think this is part of the reason dating is difficult 'cause I admit this is not a life that I am about Almost every boomer love story is some sort of like Oh yeah, I was dating a couple guys like your dad was at my law school graduation and this other guy I was talking to was at my law school graduation. and over time, like your dad was just the one who was around Youers really believed in not letting your marriage get in the way of finding the love of your life at all. Also, everyone like online is very much like, youw, dating someone you work with and granted, again, not my ministry. I've never done it Also with honestly, within the industry I work in Not a lot of the I was gonna types of men that I go for. What kind of choice do you have at work? No I've been in media circles We've all seen what's out there. Yeah, it's like it's just not my listen and some of the girls love it. They love it. And for that I am. But there's a reason why everyone at the New York Times is married to each other. Y. There's a reason everyone at NPR is married to each other. Like these people at work They're flitting and flirting and going on dates and getting married. And then where do you think Nppo babies come from People be at work. Exactly, Eactly. I mean someone and by someone I mean the Drag quQeen Trixie Matel once made the point that. Meeting a man at work is one of the only ways you can meet a man as a woman and know that he's like kind of been vetted a little bit. Like you know that he has to pass probably a background track. You know that he's employed. You know he has health insurance. you know're and you're in an environment that's like pretty safe Yeah It happens. It It's a thing of like, you should probably just close to your boss. I shes on a hiring committee. Yeah, that's wild. That's wild girl. How was that throw me for a loop. That one did throw me for a loop. Like I'm me, I'm maybe fifty fifty on workplace relationships. like the it depends on the power dynamic, but this is this is your mother is messy Beach conceived But was it because like they had to sneak around or was it just a romant? L they were like, they are these people who are like,, love at first sight, Our passion. I'm like, oh my gosh I know if her mom gets a glass of Chardonnay in there and they play B Brown e'd girl on the dance floor, like you ever see like that c and they're like, o, they they are still No they're still they're still very horny for each other. Yeah. It's like, oh, y'all are getting down. Yeah. And on some level, I love that for your mom. I hope to experience that level of intensity at some point in my life because certainly no one's done it for me so far Yet Exactly. There's a lot of life left to live. And famously your twenty suck. Actively bad, actively garbage doodoo. So I have plenty of time. but I love this for your mother. It is so wild to be like I'm on my hiring panel. Here I am asking you interview questions Also, you want to get a drink later? Like how did the sequence of events, how soon after his hiring day did you get with him? Did that perhaps influence your choice to say that he should be h? You' be like, wow, he's hot. I know exactly. I say actually the one who's most qualified for that position Listen, she found out oppos of Also who hit on who 'cause like no made the first move Which apparently was usual. hitting on your bosses Well, I don't know if it was boss, but like hitting onven on the hiring committee. Like we've both done interviews that are like panel interviews. I would never hit on any of those people. No, no, no. No. And I've been on hiring committes. I've neveract say. No, there is never a moment in any of them where I'm like, Ooh, my future husband at all, at all She's like now I know what you make. No, exactly. She's like, now I know you have dental She just like a secure man, let me lock it down. I love this story. I do, it makes me wonder because the caller was like my chaos seing of a mother. I wish to hear more stories from your childhood Growing up in the household with these two Like again, when I say as a Like This Diva, I would never think, okay I need this information to get out. I like not a All right, I'm gonna to sit down with my boss. I'm gonna to write a letter. Let's do lunch, just being like I am going to find the person who cannot hold water Not only tell them to gossip and get them to do that for me, but get them to give me money Really, I love this caller's mother so much. I think she's an icon, but I imagine that you caller's childhood has there are some stories. Being the child of an icon sounds like a rough.

As we all know, hot girls have tummy issues and I myself I'm a hot girl, which means that I have tummy issues, specifically IBS. What that means is that I'm literally always looking for a way to get fiber into my diet, but I'm to be honest, I get bored of oatmeal and broccoli makes me gassy. And that's why I love hero bread.ically they're noodles A single serving has thirty two grams of fiber That is so much fiber And I get to eat pasta. What's better than that? The Ho bread doesn't just make noodles. They also have sliced bread loaves. tortillas. Bagels and they have zero to five grams of net carbs and eleven to thirty two grams of fiber in each of their products, which means that you are covered. You get to indulge in some soft fluffy bread or some delicious noodles and get a little extra fiber and a little extra protein. What's better than that?

So my partner is a software engineer and he started a new job during the pandemic that's fully remote. So He works from home He has some colleagues in the city that we live in, but He also has colleagues in a different country And because he works for a tech company and it's quite small, it's not the most like social environment I And there really doesn't seem to be a lot of like social interaction outside of their everyday work which I don't fully understand. like I think a core aspect of work is like gossiping with your colleagues, but they keep it like pretty on task And so he's been working there for about two years now and Because it was mostly during the peak pandemic, they there hasn't really been any like social activities. But this year, I was surprised to find out that they are actually having a holiday party. and Keep in mind that my partner found this out like a week before the party was supposed to happen So a week before the party, he gets a message saying, oh, we're actually doing a holiday party this year. It's gonna be on Friday. Here's the address. Hope to see you there and I'm confused because these people have Wor together for a few years now, but don't I like genuinely don't think they've ever had social conversations. So in my mind, I'm like this is going to be a really brutal party. like You can't imagine what you will have to talk about. And on top of that I think he only has about like fifteen other colleagues in our city. So it's going to be a small group and They don't really know each other. and instead of it being like a dinner where you can maybe talk a little bit, it was that an event space. And so I'm like, Very interested about how this party is going to go. I'm not invited. I'm sitting at home, not going. My partner shows up to the party and he says Oh, there's like a lot more people here than I thought there would be And he walks around and he spots one of the colleagues he actually does know. and they're both equally surprised that there seems to be a lot more people at this party than They think there are based on how many people actually work for the company. And not only do are there more people, but they don't recognize anybody. They find this very odd, but they know that they're in the right place. so they just kind of go with it and then They see their like CEO who is the one that planned the party. And they go and they talk to him and they're just having like casual conversation And the CEO mentions a few minutes into their conversation that it's actually his birthday at midnight. And they go, o, like what a coincidence, like happappy birthday. That's so nice. Do you have anything planned And this is when the CEO reveals that This is actually his birthday party that they're all at And They just thought it was the company holiday party because that's how it was presented to them. But no, in fact, this is the CEO's birthday And apparently before COVID, he did this every year. but I guess uses the company Christmas party as his birthday party, inviting all of his friends and My partner and his colleagues were just blissfully unaware of this. They had no idea. And the weirdest part is my partner does not find this weird. He told me the story of being like, yeah, it turned out it was this birthday party This is a misuse of company resources H The way you could definitely rinse out in event space on the company dime and save so much like you could make your party huge every single year if you say it's a company holiday party. Again, there are so many divas in these stories. I would never think to do this. This man is one hundred percent scamming. I okay, who, why can't Ioo come? If everybody, I can't bring my money. No once, you are making you're using company resources to pay for your party and telling me it's our holiday party and I can't even bring my spouse. I have follow up questions. I want to know what the food and drink situation was like and the decorations. Yes. But he's a software engineer. I love my STM boys and they do not be asking the right questions. And they don't. I mean, the fact that he didn't think it was strange at all that his bossed this is On the one hand That makes me feel very warmly towards him because I'm like what a nice man. Like what a sweetheart. Why would that be weird Meanwhile, I'm immediately over here like embezzlement. You're in Belel. B Allegedly, allegedlyg Allegedly. Okay Wendy. Allegedly I tried to get sued by the CEO of the software engineering company No, maybe he paid for it himself and he's like Let's come Oh, what that's so generous of you to think that. That's so generous of you to think that. I think that that is an option. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I think he's scamming. I was like ye, I didn't unless you want to make Your birthday the company holiday I wish that the caller had been able to go. How many people were there? Yeah, becausecause the thing about New York, specifically Brooklyn is every single time there's an empty storefront it gets turned into an event space. and it's like the size of a Bodega, which is not very big. So that's what I'm thinking when I hear event space, but there are really nice ones as well. There are I need to know which one it was All right, what's next? I really, I can't imagine I lived and taught at a secondary school in England for about six months and it was wild. So I was living in this house. These three of the people who I had met online. I thought I knew what was what the situation was. so I like met them online and they interviewed me over Zoom. I like paid my first rent. all of that is good. And at first I got there and like I was super jet lagged and I thought it was fine. It was just like The vibes were weird. So I was like, okay, like in a different country And I don't know anybody, and it's probably just me Well It just kept getting weirder So I One day I was cooking in the kitchen And we had in the kitchen, there was a glass container that was just labeled breadcrumbs. and so I used the last of the breadcrumbs in when I was cooking And that Sunday I went out, I got more breadcrumbs, I bring it back and I'm like, Hey guys, where do we put the extra breadcrumbs? I filled up a little gust container And Dad ask one of my roommates looks at me and goes, why didn't you take them out of the aquarium And I was shucked out I there was In the aquarium, what are you talking about And They're like, yeah the aquarium. I So we had a room that was right off the kitchen next to the dryer, there was in a there was there was like a full ass fish tank That was full of something I didn't know what. Turns out it was breadcrumbs, but there was no way I was gonna know that. And I never used the aquarium breadcrumbs. I kept those breadcrumbs for myselfl. Okay Oh wow. So so aquarium breadcrumbs. I weird. when I need to ask you what you Are you Is this just like a full fish tank full of breadcumbs Is that what I'm That's I'm imagining in my head. That's also what I'm imagining. cannot Even imagine a reason why one would do that because Hey, that's so much breadcrumbs. What are you how? I go through a thing of breadcrumbs maybe over the course of a year. I don't use breadcrumbs that often Maybe they maybe they make a lot of meatballs and a lot they could be making a lot of meatballs. spreading a lot of chicken fingers. Hello. Like they get the air fryer going there' not playing. A. There's food grade materials. You can't just be like, like people who are like, Oh, I put together a snack box and a tackle box. baby that's not for food. That is for fish hooks The we're I mean, we're constantly covered in microplastics We're drinking from a water bottle right now with a plastic top fsood greatade You are letting You're not supposed to have that much This is the microplastics. you microach microplastics in your body Don't do that. Don't do that. Yeah, they're having they have more than the did you see that study that was like we all have like a fork a plastic fork full of microplastics in our brains? Yes. Yeah. they have more than a fork. They got a spoon too up there if they just are eating breadcrumbs out of the fish tank. What I want to know is like are they buying breadcrumbs in bulk and then decanting them into the fish tank Or they make all those breadcrumbs? That's even crazier. Is it Is the fish tank sealed like that? Also, why would I think to do that Also, I judging the callar a little bit because how did you notice that Maybe she thought it was full of pebbles. Like I'm like, oh, that's weird. There's fish food over there I think I would recognize that if I were to be in the presence this tank full of breadcrumbs, I would recognize what was in front of me. Hold on. I'm looking at bread. I'm looking at pictures of breadcrumbs And men Fish food. Yeah, breadcrumbs and fish food look different. Yeah Thank you for doing this research for us. But I will say when you leave in a group house with a bunch of people, there is stuff where you're like, I'm not even gonna That's not my business. I understand being like, the fish tank full of breadcrumbs is not my business. What I don't understand is not having clocked it before it being pointed out to me. Yeah, to be like, you know, the fish tank and it's like If it's a big fish tank and you're in a house share with four other people, there's not a There's very limited common space that everyone has access to. How long into your tenure did you know about the breadcrumbs? If it was the first week, I'm gonna give you some slack. but like if' longer than that, I'm a little concerned about your observational skills, friend That was that's so I would have been so baffled living in that home. I would have been constantly on the phone with my mom Just like, hey,. Hey girl so something something weird happened. I think something weird happened. Like Is this normal? No, exactly. I depend on how old you are sometimes you're like, maybe this is not No exactly.. And she's also it's a different country. She's like, okay, they do put milk in bags here. so I guess they have aquariums full of bread I crazy They say Jag you are Jaguar Sedual.

They are so soft, they are so silky, they are so cooling. They're this beautiful pink color.
