My Boyfriend Won't Show His Face But He'll Share Our Drunk Stories

Emily Hogan

Ever wonder what happens when you mix birthday celebrations, day drinking, and a reluctant podcast guest? The answer is pure entertainment. In this special episode, I finally convince my camera-shy boyfriend to join me behind the microphone as a birthday gift to myself.

As the RonRon juice flows we dive into the misadventures that have shaped our relationship. From our hurricane-diverted cruise ship vacation to the infamous Big Bear trip where his truck got stuck in ice and spawned his anxiety-induced catchphrase: "Don't laugh at me, I have anxiety!" Our travel stories reveal both the hilarity and depth of our connection, even when things go sideways.

The conversation takes unexpected turns as we debate who would survive longer in a zombie apocalypse (spoiler: I'd tap out early rather than struggle through post-apocalyptic life), play our own version of the Newlywed Game, and tackle listener questions in our "Gremlin Guidance" segment. My boyfriend's reluctance to gather gossip details drives me crazy as a self-proclaimed "nosiest bitch to have ever lived," while his persistent belief that he's 33 years old (he's not) becomes a running joke throughout the episode.

As the recording progresses and the drinks continue, you'll hear me transform into what I lovingly call "a gremlin," but that's all part of the birthday celebration charm. Whether you're a longtime listener curious about the mysterious man in my life or a new friend looking for laughs, this episode offers a genuine glimpse into our relationship dynamic.

Speaker 1:

Hey guys, so I just finished editing this episode and while it's a really funny episode, you must remember that we had filmed this and recorded it on my birthday, at eight o'clock at night, after we had been drinking all day and being out in the sun. And as the recording progresses, you are going to hear me slur my words more and more and become a little more unhinged than normal. But you know, it was my birthday, we were having a great time and while the episode is clocking in at a little under an hour, we did record for like an hour and a half and also took a 15 minute break on the in-between and also took a 15 minute break on the in-between. So, yes, just be kind about the fact that I am turning into a gremlin during the episode. Also, I never gave him a proper introduction, so let's do that.

Speaker 1:

Right now I am recording with my boyfriend, robert, whose name I think I say maybe twice throughout the whole time. So, yes, I hope you guys really enjoy this episode. It was a lot of fun to film with him and, yeah, let's get it started. Cheers, my love, cheers. Okay. So finally, after months and months and months of nagging, I finally got my boyfriend on the podcast say hello, hello. So I half have him on here because he, if you're watching on YouTube, which most people don't really watch on YouTube, he didn't want to be on camera, which is kind of creating a little bit of lore around who you are and what you look like, but whatever, no, no one can see you.

Speaker 1:

I you, quiet and shy so so I have you on here as like a birthday present to myself, correct?

Speaker 2:

correct. There you go, honey, I'm doing it for you.

Speaker 1:

Yes, correct, so, yes, so I'm basically going to put him in the hot seat for the entire episode. Again, if you're watching on YouTube, you're not going to see him, you're going to just see me. Actually, I haven't decided. Maybe I'll do like a montage of like pictures of us and like videos of us. I don't know, I'm probably just going to put like a video of me because I'm a little narcissistic. But you know, what can we do? Are you ready to be put in the hot seat?

Speaker 2:

I'm here, don't be happy birthday.

Speaker 1:

Thank you, baby. All right, so the first thing is actually hold on, I lie. The first thing is actually hold on, I lie.

Speaker 2:

The first thing is what are we drinking today? Vodka, it's Ron Ron juice, because we love Jersey Shore, I know it's watermelon and blueberry.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so I made him cut the watermelon while he took a shower. It's watermelon, vodka, blueberries, cranberry juice, lime juice, ice and uh, I don't know. I've obviously had several. So we happies right yeah, it tastes good.

Speaker 2:

Usually I'm just straight vodka.

Speaker 1:

But you are straight vodka, which is why I also gave you the vodka bottle. You have the Tito's handle sitting right next to you, and it should be a good episode, honey, all right, so be careful with how you answer this, but have I told any stories incorrectly? Careful, baby, careful. It's also my birthday. You have to be nice.

Speaker 2:

No, just tell us how it is. I think they're all correctly, yeah, except the cruise one. Maybe you left a couple kids out.

Speaker 1:

Okay, but if I left it out it's just because I don't remember. You said I was a little more like verbally expressive than I remember me being. I just remember going to the room and being a cute little angel and going to sleep. Because am I not a cute little angel? You are, I, just I had to get the crew to open the door for us, which I did explain.

Speaker 2:

They had to open the door for us explain they had to open the door for us or the only thing left out was I did sleep on the top deck of the ship because I got locked out again and instead of getting somebody, I just went on one of those cushiony chairs and woke up looking at the ocean all right.

Speaker 1:

And my other circle back was life insurance. You think I'm signing you up for so many different life insurance policies to the fact that, like AAA, is like mailing you pack like legit packet it's not envelopes, it's packets.

Speaker 2:

You think I'm signing you up because I'm trying to let I don't know off you. I don't know, I'm not even at that age yet.

Speaker 1:

So, sweetheart, they're sending them for a reason how old do you think you are? 33 well, that's a goddamn lie you think? You're 33 I feel 33 feeling and being are two totally different things. I feel like I'm 16, but if you check my driver's license it's gonna say a totally different age, especially today, cause today's my birthday. Yeah, dmv, people are crooked so you're blaming DMV people for the reason why you are older than you feel yeah, I don't know they put that year on their.

Speaker 2:

they lie, not from your why you are older than you feel.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't know they put that year on there. They lie Not from your, like birth certificate, not from they just took my word and changed it. So DMV people have misconstrued your age.

Speaker 2:

They have.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, but.

Speaker 2:

She might have looked at me and said, oh yeah, yeah, you're 33.

Speaker 1:

The silence is loud between us right now. It's very loud anyway, but the day that that episode aired and I was talking about the fact that you were upset over the fact that you thought I was signing you up for life insurance, even though there's no reason to sign you up for life insurance I received in the mail a packet from AAA. Even though I haven't been a AAA member in like I don't know, like a year, year and a half, they sent me a packet for life insurance as well, and then I showed it to you. I said what's your fucking game, dude? And then you laughed and look at you. You're fucking laughing right now.

Speaker 2:

It's just, it's triple A it's. You know, they give it to other members, see it's targeted marketing.

Speaker 1:

So it's not me signing you up and being a creepo, it's you just being in their target demographic and I am not in their target demographic, mind you, they're. The first bracket of age is 18 to 34.

Speaker 2:

I'm well before 34 oh, yeah, so my 33 is under 34 I cannot, I can, I, I cannot, I cannot.

Speaker 1:

All right, you know what. I'm gonna move past this topic, we're gonna go to the instagram questions. Are you ready for this baby? I am you are all right. So you have to answer it first and then I'm gonna to answer it. All right, are you ready? Yes, Okay, All right. The first one says where has been your favorite place that you've?

Speaker 2:

traveled. Wait, you're not going to tell me who it's from.

Speaker 1:

I only know who the last one is from.

Speaker 2:

Okay, okay. So I don't know these people.

Speaker 1:

You don't except for the last one, and then you'll know who it's from. I'll explain. Ricky, all right, where has been your favorite place that you've traveled together, and where are you hoping to travel to next?

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's a good one. All our travels have been exciting, but our favorite place so far- I feel like we have oh probably just towards the end of the pandemic when we went to Rosarito with my family.

Speaker 1:

That was during the pandemic honey. Well, it was towards the end.

It's like three feet deep, ten feet basically, if he stands in it, it goes up to his knees. Yeah, okay, and where are you hoping to travel to next?

Speaker 2:

um, I would like to do the trip we never took because of the pandemic Amsterdam, paris that kills my soul.

Speaker 1:

Spain. Okay, so originally the original trip was gonna be we were gonna fly into Amsterdam, take the train to Brussels on my birthday, spain.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so originally the original trip was going to be we were going to fly into Amsterdam.

Speaker 1:

take the train to Brussels On my birthday. We're going to land in Amsterdam on my birthday. Yeah, so his birthday is May, march. Oh my God, march, forgive me, that's your other guy. Not Pablo.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

Okay, so we're going to land March 23rd of 2020 in Amsterdam. We're going to take the train to Brussels. We are going to take a train back into Paris.

Speaker 2:

And LA shut down a week before. Well, no, the world shut down.

Speaker 1:

It was just like it was terrible. We were so upset At first. We thought we were going to be able to get away with it, and we didn't realize how serious it was. Just like it was terrible. We were so upset at first, we thought we were going to be able to get away with it and we didn't realize how serious it was.

Speaker 1:

We would have been stuck in europe 100, like, yeah, it would have been terrible, one of us could have gotten sick. I mean, at one point one of us had gotten covid at some point and it was a terrible disease and we were extremely sick and this, this and that whatever, but anyway, yeah, so we were going to go. That would be a great trip to recreate, especially because it was paid for.

Speaker 2:

Well, we were lucky to get a complete refund. Because at first they were like well, you're not going to get your taxes back, you're not going to get the hotel back.

Speaker 1:

You're not going to get the train ride back, well, no initially we were just only gonna get everything back except the taxes, which at that point I was like, well, fuck it, like I don't feel like fighting them, I don't feel like talking to people in different language, like I was just like I'm fighting with people but it seems like everybody realized how serious it was Exactly and they're like all right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. So eventually, like I don't know, like maybe around like October of 2020, we ended up getting like a significant jump in our bank account. We were like what the hell is this for? And then we realized it was the taxes back from that trip. So luckily that came to be All right. Actually, the favorite place I've been that we've traveled to it also comes from, like a vocal stem that I have with you.

Speaker 2:

Don't laugh at me, I have anxiety oh god, big bear was a great trip so we went to big bear.

Speaker 1:

It was, I don't know, maybe like our third, fourth trip. A third it's got to be third, um third trip because we went to san diego, we went to vegas, and, and then I think third would have been Big Bear, so it was like February. January.

Speaker 2:

January 2019.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and so we pulled into this lodge in Big Bear.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the front office.

Speaker 1:

The front office so we could get our keys and like be told like exactly where to go on the property.

Speaker 2:

It wasn't a hotel, it was a cabin resort. It was like cabin resorts, exactly where to go on the property it wasn't a hotel, it was a cabin resort.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was a cabin. It was like cabin resorts and he parks, he gets to eat.

Speaker 2:

They had a blizzard the night before Correct Huge snowstorm.

Speaker 1:

Yes, it was a very big deal. The fact that we made it was amazing. And then he gets in the car and he goes to drive away.

Speaker 2:

Well, we park, we go, check in and we go back to the car.

Speaker 1:

Yes, and he goes to drive away and he can't drive away. He's stuck in what, what?

Speaker 2:

is that? What do you call that?

Speaker 1:

Like a snow drift.

Speaker 2:

No, no, no. So my tire went in a perfectly square block of ice, so my tire was dead center of a block of ice.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And I cannot get out.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

I turned the wheel, I went forward backward, turning, tried pushing and I'm sitting there going. There's nobody around because it's so cold and it's snowing.

Speaker 1:

Of course, so no one's out.

Speaker 2:

It's like 12 noon and I'm in shorts and a t-shirt, mind you, and the people are looking at me like wait he did not pack pants.

Speaker 1:

He doesn't pack pants because he, in the coldest weather possible, he could be in Siberia or Russia, and this dude is always in shorts. You're in shorts right now.

Speaker 2:

And a t-shirt.

Speaker 1:

It's so frustrating. It's so frustrating because he's never cold. I wish he was ever cold. He's never cold. Anyway, he has to get under the car, yeah, so I'm like struggling to get the car out.

Speaker 2:

One tire's in a block of ice. So she's laughing like she's doing now and I'm like stop laughing, I'm getting anxiety.

Speaker 1:

And then so my vocal stim becomes don't laugh at me, I'm having anxiety and he becomes so mad, and it's what. This is what, six years later, seven years later. You still love me, though, right I'm on here you're on here and you hate this.

Speaker 2:

I love you so I go walk into the reception area and I'm like, uh, my tire's stuck, my truck is stuck like, oh well, it's our maintenance person's day off, but let's see if he's available so he eventually comes out okay with a little like tow truck, like a little scooper thing, okay how about this?

Speaker 1:

have you ever I mean not that, like we grew up ever around snow? Because, like I saw snow the first time when I was like I don't know, like it wasn't my first time in big bear, though oh so you should know better. So like baby, like basically get together in a parking spot.

Speaker 2:

Ice formed around my tire. Oh so it's mother nature's fault.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I just parked in a parking spot, ice formed around my tire. Oh, so it's Mother Nature's fault. Yes, I was going to say Wait, I don't remember what I was going to say Because I'm stuck on the fact that you think it's Mother Nature.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so the main thing is that it comes out with this little bulldozer like a miniature version and he's like I'll tow, tow you out, but you have to go underneath wait, did we have to get towed out?

Speaker 1:

I don't remember that so I went underneath my car I mean, I remember you laying in the snow and then telling me, actually told me, bro, I have a blanket if you want to go underneath and you're like no, I'm tough, I have you got shorts and a t-shirt on.

Speaker 2:

I'm like I'm fine actually and I was wearing flip flops. The fucking flip flops he gives me the rope with the hook, I hook it up underneath my car and he pulled this out. You know, I tipped the guy and he's like, oh, it's okay, man, it's my day off, I just want to go back and watch football or something. It was playoff time, oh yeah, it was January.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. So anyway, I tipped the guy and he was like, thank you so much, man, I'm going to go back and have my beer. And we got our cabin.

Speaker 1:

That was a great cabin, though that was a fun time.

Speaker 2:

It was. We had snowball fights.

Speaker 1:

We had snowball fights. I built a snowman that was a great vacation.

Speaker 2:

All our vacations are great, I think.

Speaker 1:

I don't know. I feel like we have really bad travel luck, though.

Speaker 2:

Well, our cruise.

Speaker 1:

That was a shit show in and of itself.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I think it was Hurricane Ike. I don't remember which hurricane it was it was a tour through Kabul, because our third day was supposed to be in Kabul.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so we were and we were excited we were very excited to go on the-. Until some lady told us did you read the paper no, hold on, hold on, we can't go. This is the problem. The paper that so. We were entering the boat, we were given a paper yeah, and we just put it aside reason, I decided that you should be given the paper.

Speaker 1:

So you were handed the paper, you took it into your possession and then I don't know what the fuck you did with it. And then you, we just walked onto the boat. Then we went into the muster station, quote, unquote, which is where you're supposed to go if like the boat is sinking.

Speaker 2:

How would you two settle this dispute?

Okay, have children or not, correct, okay, so, if, if, if if, if we decide we want to have children I have the names picked, okay, and you're cool with that?

Speaker 1:

yeah that's us, though. Okay, I have a very manipulative thing that I can say. That's why I picked it, because I was like oof. I'm like that sounds manipulative, but it could work in Katrina's favor.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

You give like a really weird name that you would be like, yeah, like we should do this, and then you give the normal name that you want and it's that Like okay, so around like I don't know, maybe like the age I was like 15, I said out loud I wanted to name my daughter Nestle. What would you say if I said that to you right now?

Speaker 2:

if it's a boy, at least his middle name has to be what I want.

Speaker 1:

And I'm okay with that.

Speaker 2:

All right.

Speaker 1:

It just can't be as long if it's a boy.

Speaker 2:

As long as Robert is in there somewhere, I'm cool.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I'm down to do Robert as a middle.

Speaker 2:

Sure.

Speaker 1:

Just because I don't want Robert as a first, not because I think it's a bad name.

Speaker 2:

Well, my grandfather, my mom's side, Robert. Eight of the nine brothers had a Robert, so I need a Robert.

Speaker 1:

That's my kerfuffle is that at one point, like a month ago, there was a misunderstanding of what Robert was talking to your mom. So I don't want it to be a child that's like lost in the sauce, basically when it's like which Robert is it? I don't know that one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, I know every single Robert. And the 200 cousins on my mom's side.

Speaker 1:

I know, you know Again, the possible child I might have, which is a very big possible, because I think if I have a child I might die. So this might be a moot point.

Speaker 2:

Well, if he was born, my size.

Speaker 1:

I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. You were born. How big were you when you were born?

Speaker 2:

So for the record I was, was it 11 and a half pounds, 11.7 pounds Either way. 19 and a half inches.

Speaker 1:

I feel imminent death. I just don't see it. I don't physically see it. What I would love to do love, love, love. I would love to adopt a child. That's my goal in life. I want to adopt a child. He was looking at me like I would love to adopt a child and bring him or her, like, into our family. No, we're not into that. You're into it, I can see you.

Speaker 2:

Well, we'll discuss it.

Speaker 1:

All right, so now it's time you gotta tell your gremlin story.

Speaker 2:

What, gremlin? I was never told this.

Speaker 1:

You were told this you had several gremlin stories lined up to discuss. You were just going to debate on which gremlin story you were going to talk about. So which story would you like to tell?

Speaker 2:

Oh Jesus, oh mind you, he is gonna be weird about talking about what he was under the influence of me nothing.

Speaker 1:

Oh okay, wow, so many so many things you were under the influence of no, just so many gremlin stories.

Speaker 2:

I mean see, not really bad I'm a crazy ass gremlin.

Speaker 1:

This guy is a crazy ass, fucking gremlin.

Speaker 2:

He, he introduced me to being a fucking gremlin I guess the one I'm gonna go with is a golf tournament in the late 90s, oh wait wait like late 90s, like what year?

Speaker 1:

I don't know 98, 9 oh baby, yeah, I was like five years old, yeah I was probably like seven, so this is a wild wild times that you're talking about so it's a golf tournament, you know.

Speaker 2:

So there's dozens and dozens of people that I know, or?

Speaker 1:

who are also seven. Yeah, yeah, exactly okay.

Speaker 2:

So it gets started and it's because of the tournament. So every couple holes or few holes, it's, you know, a group of girls serving drinks and you know everybody's getting sauced drunk. For those that don't know, I think sauce is and known at some point in the middle of the tournament, so like after six or seven, eight holes, somebody says, hey, who wants to roll?

Speaker 1:

And you're like me.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, our foursome, it's groups of four, so a foursome is four people playing together. You know, you go off the best ball, whoever hits it the part of this. All right, let's go off that guy's ball are you like a good golfer? Sure so that's, no okay no, I can drive the ball, I just can't do this.

Speaker 1:

I can't do this. I don't even know what the fuck that means I can hit the ball far from the tee. I just can't make it in the hole always baby.

Speaker 2:

So we're drinking and at some point somebody's like, hey, I got these things. Who want to roll?

Speaker 1:

so I was like what's these things?

Speaker 2:

oh, man, you have to have to.

Speaker 1:

Of course, Of course, honey buddy.

Speaker 2:

E-tabs back then. So we did, and at some point I had to pee. So I go to pee behind this tree while everybody else is hitting their balls, and as I'm peeing I'm like, wow, the grass is getting closer and I'm sinking and now my legs are covered in water.

Speaker 1:

Wait.

Speaker 2:

And now my shorts are covered in water Stop.

Speaker 1:

Are you in actual quicksand?

Speaker 2:

Not quicksand, but I was peeing by a tree, grass, mud, by a lake, so eventually I was waist deep in this lake. Anyway, I'm like oh shit. So I'm trying to get out and I can't. I just keep going further.

Speaker 1:

And now the water's wait, you're just like walking within quicksand I'm not walking, I'm peeing and I'm sinking.

Speaker 2:

So the person will call, tries to help me, but he starts sinking himself, but eventually gets out and then finds a stick and hands it to me and pulls me out. So yeah maybe we shouldn't have rolled that day. Yeah, so the rest of the day I'm I'm in muddy wet, but golf course, lake water drenched shorts, shoes and socks I.

Speaker 1:

I also feel like that's not like the worst you've ever been.

Speaker 2:

Really.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I mean, look, you've seen me worse. I feel like that's not your worst.
