Everyone say aye if you threw up this weekend.

Aye!

She also went into this dinner being like,

mama needs a drink.

Mama needs a stiff one.

We space it out.

Boom, boom, boom!

A baby Guinness.

This is not going well for me.

I'm blasting the songs from Dancing With The Stars.

I'm doing a jive.

There's a video of it.

I'm like, it's in your blood!

I wake up to sounds from the bathroom.

Just say there's a bowl that we've thrown out. Come on in.
Welcome back to House of Mar, a wave original presented by the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. This is one of your hosts, Adriana Mar, humanitarian,

classic little sister,

and hair that sometimes

I'm not sure if it's a ginger

or like a strawberry blonde

or dare I say a dirty blonde,

but she hates when I say that.

She hates that.

It's not up for interpretation.

Immediately mad.

And this is your host,

Ilona Mar,

Olympic bronze medalist,

and she's in a mood. It's true.
It's true. And this is your host, Ilona Marr, Olympic bronze medalist.
And she's in a mood.

It's true.

It's true.

And this is your host, Olivia Marr, Girl Dinner founder.

And she decided to move out of New York City the day before I moved.

Rude.

Good one.

I haven't forgotten.

But then I got all of her pots and pans.

Yes, a bunch of stuff was just passed on to her that I didn't want to deal with moving across the country.

So enjoy.

Thank you.

The same pots and pans mom bought me.

Wow.

I'm just passing them down.

Thank you.

Just like our old school uniforms.

Family heirloom.

Right.

You got our uniforms after they had holes in them and stuff.

Yes, Rios Rios to me.

A real Weasley family situation, hand-me-down robes.

Like, that's what she got.

Sorry about that.

Red hair, hand-me-down clothes. It fits your hair perfect thank you is it red though right I've always said dirty blonde and she kicks off I love it I love getting her angry when I say dirty blonde look at the fire rising in her face everyone's gonna be like she's not she doesn't have red hair it's actually a brunette yeah they're actually out there everyone's gonna say that I'm I can fight.
She's like, guys, if you just up the saturation, thank you so much. Olivia's, I know she'll edit my photos for me.
She'll edit my photos for me and she's like, want me to bump your hair? And I'm like, yeah. I'll bump the orange in her hair for her a little bit.
I love that. Yeah.
Just like women supporting women. Absolutely.
You know, Adriana is someone who is very easy to irritate. She is quick to be irritated.
Oh, we know how to push the right buttons. And it's like a classic little sister.
Olivia knows best of all, though, too. Yeah, you specialize in it, actually.
I do. I actually got a degree.
That was my minor. And yeah, but it's fun because you just, you can wind her up.
Oh, it's the best. So easy.
Just like picking out outfits to sit here and do this.

I was like, she's on the edge.

I could just like push, but we all need to be.

It wouldn't have been good.

It would not have been good.

We would not have gotten through an episode.

One of us can be in a mood today.

Yeah.

And it's me.

Well, with Adrana, we know the one thing that can really wind her up is if we pretend to

be her when she is wound up.

That'll get that. She's.
She's like trying on shoes. And I was like, I think.
I don't know how to process and I don't want to be mean. So I just I don Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're like dad in that way, though. We were comparing you to dad, because dad, he'll be in the kitchen and, like, drop something and break a thing.
And in the kitchen, we just hear, fuck, fuck, fuck. And then my mom's like, Michael, are you all right? And he's like, no, I'm fine.
I'm fine. Just leave.
And that's what I think. Gerhana got that same exact thing from me.
She's, like, short-circuiting happening so how angry you are right now like scale of how old did that work no i'm really i'm really chill about it right i know right you don't have to i'm fine with you airing out my business like that right now she's mature like it's okay getting getting older getting wiser growing out of that like that's really rare these days i do that yeah well but on the flip side i do feel bad but i said alona's in a mood yeah i've been in a mood all week i've been like tired but like not tired like physically and then like overwhelmed but not overwhelmed because like i'm so grateful for everything happening, but so much is happening at times. And I have so much to look forward to, which is like so weird to feel like tired about, but then I just get so like in it.
I I'm classic for these moods, but I just get in them where I just don't want to talk to anybody. I get very quiet.
I get very much so like with withdrawn is the word and um almost like a little not not depressive in a way but just like to myself and there's no way i can get out of it like it's it's actually annoys me because i can't get out of these moods whereas olivia like and in adriana but i noticed more olivia olivia holds so much on her plate and i I think that she at times, like, doesn't allow herself to feel those moods. Whereas I'm like, they've given me the space to feel the moods, maybe because of who I am, maybe because of, like, the fame I've built.
But they, like, let me, like, oh, Lona's in mood, just let her, like, do her mood. But these two don't allow themselves to be in moods as much, which I think is interesting.
I was just calling mom, like, mom, I feel so dumb. Like, why do I, why, why am I like this? Why can't I get out of this? I know I'm in this mood yet.
I can't get myself out of it. But I feel like at times you guys, or especially Olivia, just because she carries so much on her plate, you don't let yourself be that way.
I definitely like, if I'm feeling that, I then overcompensate and I go the opposite direction and I act like everything's okay and I'm fine and I'm happy. And I'm like, I know that that's also not necessarily a healthy approach to it, but it does, I guess it does help me and I get through.
But then I do crash eventually and I will hit like a low and I need to just be with myself. It catches up.
It does catch up to you. Yeah, but I do do that.
But I think even you reaching out to mom was big and that's an acknowledgement of it. And that is taking a step to get out of it yeah and i think that's i think you should be proud of that that's big thank you she wasn't answering my facetimes on wednesday and thursday mom mom well she did an hour later but i didn't pick up my phone um but she heard i came to this the thing too also like what's important for me is like physical activity and and doing something.
And in 15s I haven't been running as much and now my schedule's been so busy I haven't even been able to get to the gym and move my body and being a professional athlete like to me I'm a professional athlete first I'm an athlete first and so when I don't get to do that I feel almost like I'm losing my fitness like I need to be I want to be fit I want to feel good I but I don't have time to it's like I haven like, I haven't had time to this week. And my mom was like, what you need to do is have your manager, aka Olivia, block out a time for you where you can just go run, where you can go work out or something like that.
And like, she was so right about that to know me in that way. And I think there's like, I think it's just, I have to start knowing myself and learning what I need to do, I guess, because like, we know that, you know that, oh, just go on the run.
But you took a run yesterday. We went for a big sister walk and we got back and she had on like a slightly different workout outfit from what we went on the, on the walk on.
And I was like, what's up? She's like, I'm going to run. I was like, okay.
Like an hour before we're supposed to go to dinner. Yeah.
I was like, you get that in. You do that.
But that's the thing. It's like, I know what I need to do.
I think I need to be braver or be more for myself to do those things yeah and it's it reflects or makes you guys it's also not fun for you guys and it's not nice to you guys for me to be acting in that way now that we know we spend much more time together and you almost I dare say you're almost giving me too much of the space like where you're like let me be this way and that's so welcoming but i think it's something i gotta figure out i mean it's a delicate balance the moods come but it's like where your sisters were going to support you and it's not like they're frequent enough where it's like it's days where we're just like fuck no it's just like a few hours that you need and that's what you need every right to feel the way you're feeling but isn't it so and i know we're talking about me today but i'm just my favorite topic my favorite topic these girls so interesting because you we have so much to be grateful for and thankful for and we're doing so much we're doing this podcast and i have opportunities with this and i have all sorts of stuff going on it's like i don't feel overwhelmed at times but i do think i get ahead of myself i'm like oh all this is happening right now you don't feel overwhelmed but your body and brain is think I get ahead of myself. I'm like, oh, all this is happening right now.
You don't feel overwhelmed, but your body and brain is tired, dude. Tired in a way.
We've gone over it. You haven't had a break.
And it's something that I think about a lot. It's like, oh, okay, Alona, when we get back to the States, we'll be able to chill for two seconds.
I'm like, no, she doesn't. She's got to get right back into X, Y, and Z.
And oh, my gosh, when is there time for just Alona to heal and focus on you? And main joke is that we keep seeing a destination we want to like vacation to and the schedule is so busy that there's just no room for it but we're we're like fall 2026 is gonna be a movie like it's gonna be crazy and we keep moving that date back oh it's gonna be crazy i also want to find time to be able to you know find tuck that in there but it is a world cup year yeah so it is busy normally if it's there's a lot going on and to focus in it's actually like elevates my like way of working and doing things i get kind of hone in and i see things more clearly good for you under like more stress and kind of duress a little bit pressure makes diamonds and all of that which you get overwhelmed not just for yourself but for me yeah you're you take it for and for adriana for our parents you take everything on classic and are very much so everybody yeah you're taking on the thing of everybody make sure everybody's happy healthy feeling good i do notice that i write about you guys a lot in my journal it's like day 29 status alone in a mood adriana talking to herself angry in the corner like no but it's like i do i do people ask me like well when's time for you i'm like but i'm doing cool stuff and i like what i do and it's exciting we go to cool places but i do i kind of when things get uh crazier there's a lot to organize i feel like i almost like level up and i like hone in whereas if there's stuff that's kind of not mundane to do but like the easier stuff then i'm kind of more relaxed about it but like i say i do then work myself into these kind of places where i do need to my body just shuts down and i need to be alone and like horizontal in bed like bed rotting kind of thing we all got back to your guys's flat the other day and alona you were in the kitchen and olivia was in the room and i was gonna go lay in the bed too and i sensed an energy and i was like energy you need me to go away she's like yeah and i was like alona's in the kitchen and she also needs your space i'll lay on alona's floor it's like a video game which room to choose Colonel Mustard in the library? Or this energy? Colonel Mustard

With the death I'll lay on a loner's floor, I guess. It's like a video game, which room to choose? Colonel Mustard in the library?

Or this energy.

Colonel Mustard?

With the death care of the air.

Ranging bitch in the kitchen.

Moody horn.

Moody weirdo.

Yeah.

Choose your path.

Choose your path.

Choose your own adventure.

Not looking good.

Don't go alone.

Take this.

Our lives, they're nonstop.

Training, traveling, hanging with friends.

We're always on the go.

That's why we need a phone that can keep up. And my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, it doesn't just keep up.
It's ahead of me. Mornings, I'm up and out the door fast.
So I rely on Now Brief to sum up what I need wherever I am in the day. While I'm chugging coffee and grabbing my gear, I want to see my schedule for the day first thing.
Practice times, group photo shoots, and even brunch plans. Plus, it gives us the weather, so we're not caught off guard by surprise rain.
And you know what we always tell people trying to get into content creation? Just post it. Whether it's food pics, exploring the city, or just clowning around with the girls, the camera on S25 Ultra makes sure every shot is crystal clear, even if it's at night.
We're talking 200 megapixel camera for crazy clear shots,

50 megapixel ultra wide lens for stunning landscapes and nightography so I can actually get good concert pics.

Whether we're seeing a pop star or an intimate live show.

And with Audio Racer, I can easily remove unwanted background noise from my videos

so they sound just as good as they look.

Our phones work as hard as we do, sometimes even harder, so we don't have to. Basically our lives move fast and our S25 Ultra moves right with us.

Trigger warning. Trigger warning.
There will be talk of vomiting, but let's everyone say I if you threw up this weekend i um okay so that was a crazy time we don't throw up often either we metabolize alcohol very well we're big girls we metabolize alcohol well and we're smart about and we're smart we don't drink often in college my friends would get mad at me they're like live you don't get like messed up like you don't get messed don't get messed up with us. I'm like, I don't like getting messed up.
Like I don't. Like I just have a respectful amount of like tipsy.
Yeah. You know.
But we had a fun. I went to dinner.
I had a Negroni Spagliato. I know it's embarrassing to order because after the TikTok thing, but it's really delicious.
You started out with what? Dirty martini. Dirty martini.
I did an Aperol Spritz. Aperol Spritz.
And then from there, I had another negroni because i was i was chugging it you ordered your next drink before everyone had finished their first wasn't even done and i was like she also went into this dinner being like mama needs a drink like she was ready for a cocktail you know what i mean i was so i took it literally and then we had white wine then we ordered six i was with steak, we gotta have red wine with steak. I don't even drink red wine often.
Why was I saying that? I had two glasses of white wine. Then you all got red wine but didn't drink it, so I drank both their glasses.
I had three glasses of red wine. I don't know who the hell you're talking to.
Because I had the two with my meal, and then there was one that had been poured, and then no one took later on in the meal, and I I was like, thank you so much. Take that.
See, I had my thing of red wine in front of me. I wasn't drinking it.
I looked away. And then all of a sudden it was gone.
And so was one of the Lona's that I'd given her. She had just taken mine.
And I was like, thank you. I didn't really want to drink that.
I just chugged it. I did.
And then espresso martini felt right. Espresso martinis.
And then we went on into more Negroni Spagliatos. Then we went to a pub.
Oh yeah. And number one thing here, I cannot wait to put people in the US onto this game.
A baby Guinness. A baby Guinness.
A baby Guinness, which is a shot over here that is what's on the bottom? Kahlua. And it's just that it looks like a Guinness.
It looks like the brown with a little bit of white. It's Kahlua with like a Bailey's floater.
Yeah, delicious. It looks like a baby Guinness.
It's a dessert. It's finger-licking good.
Finger-licking good. Delicious, full sugar.
And so we got a bunch of those. Well, you've gotten into a habit of just ordering a lot of people.
A bunch of those, yeah. You're like, this is great.
I'm at that stage in my life now where I like to buy for other people, and I'm like, well, they get that baby Guinness on me. Yeah.
And then we discovered, not discovered, but we were honing our skills, splitting the G. Right.
That was my first time ever having my own pint of Guinness and I split the G. You did? Yeah.
I didn't. Very impressed.
I was really proud of myself. She was close.
Question though, is it that the foam is splitting the G or is it that the liquid is splitting the G? It's the between foam and the liquid i believe is what cuts the g okay i have to look back on the video feel free to let us know i just looked at a british man over there what did he say is that any nonsense he's nodding his head i think that's correct british man yeah he knows he knows it's deep that's what they learn in school um so i i take my i'm like so i'm sitting there listening to a story and you know when. You're like, this is not going well for me.
And then you just get up silently. You start moving in silence.
Really? Nobody knows what you're about. You just went up and I just got up, went to the bathroom.
And yeah, I vomited. She pulled trig.
I pulled trig and I vomited in there. We don't condone excessive drinking.
We don't condone excessive drinking. It would would just happen that way and the other thing is we ate a lot of very rich heavy food like yummy food which is my downfall is when there's food in front of me i'm going to eat it i'm going to finish i feel like i need to and then it's just sitting there no one else is touching it i'm like like i just think let's go to waste but that's something we're learning in as adults too.
We come from a finish your plate, clean plate household. And now we physically have, we're learning and we're doing much better at it.
Even our parents are learning. Like we have trouble leaving things not eaten.
Because to us it's like, oh my gosh, you're going to leave the piece of bread there? There's only three bites left. Might as well.
Might as well. Even though you're full to the brim and you do not want those extra three bites it feels like rude to not or like wasting of food so we are unlearning that in adulthood yes if you're full listen to your body like it's okay like i have trouble though i really can sometimes truly not like disregard my full trigger my full whatever it is and i will just keep eating if it's like really good or whatnot but and i've been around teammates who like well they have a half a sandwich and they're like i'm good they know they're good like man that's so i have to almost be you have to be so in tune in some ways and still i'm learning intuitive eating intuitive eating is that what it's called i saw a tweet once i was like it's so fascinating watching a man eat because he he's just taught to intuitively eat his whole life he's full he's done right he's hungry he's gonna keep going whereas's going to keep going.
Whereas like women, I don't know, something else about it. We're learning.
And like, even when we go out to dinner with our mama, we went to dinner with our mom recently, and like there was like two dumplings left on a plate. And I was like, no, no, no, I'm done.
She's like, are you done? I was like, no, we're done. She's done.
But like mom came from, and you can probably explain it better, but. Well, our mom was raised by, our mom was Dutch.
She was raised in the Netherlands. Our Oma and Opa were raised during the war when food was scarce.
And so when there was food, you ate it. So then she was raised by two people in that mindset of like, if food is before you, like you eat that, you know, no longer in the war.
But that's like ingrained in them. And that makes sense.
Like that is, you know. So they passed that down to our mom.
Passed that down. And to us.
And I will say like obviously not parents we're not experts on it but i do agree like growing up it is important to that they had us finish our plates to get all the necessary nutrients and our vegetables and a complete meal you know but now as an adult that's translated to i have to finish what's on my plate like you know so so let's just say we finished some plates that night many It was finished. We didn't need to finish plates.
thing is a very rich heavy food as well um i start dancing doing my dance with stars dance in the parking lots that's brilliant i was seeing how much i can do i got olivia around me holding a phone up i'm doing a jive i'm blasting the songs from dancing with the stars like on her phone running around her so she can hear the music whole time having, having the time of my life. She's like, I can't believe you remember this.
You're amazing. I'm like, there's video of it.
I'm like, it's in your blood. You're amazing.
Meanwhile, we're watching her back. She's messed up several steps.
I'm like, that's not even the right way to face doing that. I'm not even doing half correct.
But she drops my phone at one point. I thought you didn't remember that.

I remember it clearly.

And then we get home more.

All is well when we get home.

All is well.

All is fine.

Okay.

And then it just sneaks up on both of them.

Sneaks up on.

How nitty gritty do we.

How deep is it?

Not too deep.

Let's just say 3 a.m.

I wake up to sounds from the bathroom.

And it's happening for so long where then you're going. And then, yeah, that's what the trigger warning was for.
Just say there's a bowl that we've thrown out. Yeah, there's a kitchen bowl.
A kitchen bowl because I occupied, the bathroom was occupado by me. That was occupado.
So when she was on to her own devices. There is a bowl we no longer uh use and talk to we said sayonara too it's gone we blessed it threw that away thank you for your service thank you for your help thank you for your journey so i think the next day livy's out for the count i mean this her soul is it now down the drain in bristol you know because i do not i don't throw up like i'm't throw up.
Like I'm not a thrower upper, especially not drinking alcohol. Like I just, I'm fine.
I'm chill. I'm chill.
Yes. I was not okay.
But once you've hit your thirties though, apparently, and this is a threat guys, cause you're thirties of it and she's been going through it. Something's happening to me like rapidly.
Cause you know, everyone's been like, Oh, everything changes. When you get to turn 30, your back starts hurting and everything.
I'm okay yeah right i'm so young i'm literally 26 years old that's crazy um and then i actually felt like you know in harry potter when harry potter has killed voldemort and now he's in that train station in the sky with dumbledore's ghost and the horcrux that was inside of harry is like curled and fetal position under the bench yeah that's how i felt on our little tiny couch and the flat in yeah just take a banana banana take a bite please get them she does not feel good all day we were supposed to have dinner with my team or we're gonna have dinner with my teammates and i text her i'm like hey we cannot go live is not okay live comes out from her third episode and she's like i was like live um it's all good i told hannah you know we can't go to dinner she's like why would you say that i'm so excited for that i'm so ready for dinner i feel fine why would you say why would you i was like oh i was under the impression you didn't know and she rallied i rallied y'all she had maybe a quarter of a piece of toast. The brat diet.
Bananas. Everything she's asking is like a brat.
Is this brat? Is this brat diet? Is this brat diet? I was like, what? Yeah. Brat is in the like vomiting foods you should eat, but also XCX.
Yeah. Charlie XCX.
Which brat does stand for. Bananas.
Yeah. Or is it bread? Rice.
Bananas. Bananas.
Rice. Is it apples? I think it's apples.
App think it's apples apples toast and toast we could have made that up guys nobody knows you all reply what brat diet let us know in the comments our take on brat diet bananas bananas ham that's baharat I thought we were making our own baharat you don't get me ours was a ham cheese bread for me it's like I just wanted pho all day I offered you it would have gone to waste you're right we don't want to say this is just a special occasion for us one thing I learned, we also just like going out and having fun. But like our version of fun is a dinner party.
Yes. Usually not to that extreme, everyone.
Not to that extreme. That was crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I can't do that until maybe, again, spring 2027, we're going to get crazy.
Maybe another one of those parties. It's feeling like a.
But we love connecting over food. And so that was just another way we got to connect with these people and so it just turned into what it did which i think why we're talking about is that it is so rare for us it just doesn't happen like that's why it's like a funny topic whereas this is not an every weekend occurrence this is crazy like alona's like i can't wait to talk about this on the pod like you you being like this i'm like yeah i'm sorry guys i know this is 30 i guess she's shaking on her walk yeah we can talk her arm and mind you the dinner we were going to is like a lovely tasting menu oh yeah it was seven courses we did it because there was a wine pairing this is Olivia like getting that wine oh I love it it's delicious and he's telling us all the notes in it and stuff he's like it has this noble rot about it it i was like yeah that's when you said noble rot yeah like apparently that's a descriptive term for wine that helps a wine yeah that helps i was like noble rot but you did it girlfriend i did it it was yummy and it was really good company it took four and a half hours four and a half hours but we love that we do we can sit for hours and it didn't feel like it it didn't feel like it but when it's space like that even when we go out to eat now we space it out ourselves like when one thing we don't like to order all at the same time no because then they're like well you the chef some places now are like chef makes you and i'm like does he does he the chef knows how to space it out he'll pay you know he doesn't because i know it's you on that, boop all at the same time.
Yeah. And then I got 12 plates of tapas in front of me.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I hate that. We went to that tapas place and we were like, well, we don't want to put it all in because then you're going to bring it.
He's like, no, no, we space it out. Boom.
Boom. Boom.
I got a Padron pepper. I got Manchego.
I got to eat this. It's getting cold.
We love. there's a place we go to in Burlington that we love.

It's a French restaurant,

but they're very fast with it.

Yeah.

So we,

and get it,

you're trying to turn over tables,

but we like,

I think we approach dining in a more European way,

the way like our mom and her relatives in the Netherlands do it,

where we sit and we have a drink and we like,

and like we'll put in one thing at a time and the staff doesn't really know

how to deal with it.

They're kind of like,

okay,

and next.

What are the mains?

What are the mains?

And for mains. We haven't looked yet.
Haven't even decided. Maybe we'll have a main.
Maybe we won't have know how to deal with it. They're kind of like, okay, and next? What are the mains? And for mains.

We haven't looked yet.

Haven't even decided.

Maybe we'll have a main.

Maybe we won't have a main.

Sorry about it.

I will take another glass of wine.

I will.

Oh, French onion soup, please.

You want to split the muscles?

So, yeah, I mean, I think lessons were learned.

For sure.

Lessons were learned.

And we probably learned the same lesson again.

Yeah.

But we did it with each other. I wouldn't change it for the world.
wouldn't change it for the world i wouldn't change it i had a great time i had a great time we got over it i went on a run later in the day yeah yeah true and i felt okay we went for that walk because i was like i need to feel human again and get my blood pumping because i like to shock the system but also this what this reminded me of is like you know after nights out in college where you did your debrief where you would all sit around and debrief what the other person did in the dining hall like five yeah in the dining hall like shaking under blankets in the living room together but like laughing the hardest you've ever laughed i did think about that while i was in the fetal position being like god it'd be fun to laugh about this but i i'm not allowed i did nothing to laugh about oh but yeah that was. Fix his card.
Literally. Oh, but yeah, that was fun.

I've always loved to go.

Even now, after like rugby turns with my teammates, we like to just debrief what happened.

Like, did you see this person was making out?

This is happening because it's like it's embarrassing, but it's also like ways to connect.

It's human.

It's human.

Yeah.

I love it when they can laugh about it.

Like you were dancing a lot.

Liv is very good at laughing at herself, too.

She will self-deprecate like nobody else.

It's quite serious, isn't it?

Thank you. love it when they can laugh about it like you dancing live live is very good at laughing at herself too she will self-deprecate like nobody else it's quite serious isn't it quite serious yeah yeah i find it hilarious she gets me laughing and when somebody like recalls like the most the smallest detail from the night before that everyone forgot about but they were like hanging on to you know what i mean that the laughter, the times.
You can tell me a story 50 times

and I'll listen.

Yeah.

And honestly,

she'll do it even if you didn't want it to.

Yeah.

I'm like dad in that way.

Our dad's famous line is,

you've heard this one from me before.

Then he'll tell a story

we've heard from him before.

And you can't kind of listen.

And I'll listen.

It's funny every time.

He's a good storyteller.

I know exactly the way he's going. Absolutely.
And then your buddy Rich, right? Right. Of course.
That's crazy, man. But you felt okay.
She's so young and youthful, dude. She's not in her 30s like some people.
Wow. Guys, I'm not having fun anymore.
She's in the mood now. I feel great.

Wait, pretend to be me.

Go.

That's really good. That's actually a perfect representation.

Do you need anything?

I'm fine.

Yep.

To a T classic.

That's actually me right there.

And scene.

Adriana.

Yeah. Yeah.

Olivia?

Here's my traveling pony show.

Come in.

The old razzle dazzle.

You gotta give it to them.

I don't know if that's classic. And that's just show business.

At the end of the day.

I mean, it was the kind of like hangover that was like, I'm never drinking again.

And that's my resolution.

Like, I'm not doing it.

But I will.

I love it.

Maybe I won't of the day. I mean, it was the kind of like hangover that was like, I'm never drinking again.
And that's my resolution. Like, I'm not doing it.
But I will. I love it.
Maybe I won't do the wine flight. And she had sips of wine that night.
I had sips of wine that night. You probably had two whole glasses.
I really didn't. What do you think? You finished a lot of Alona's.
I was watching Anna Press. She was in a haze, man.
That was dehydrated. What did Alona ask for her glass? Yeah, you glass yeah you did take that from me i was like okay it's like this stuff's pretty good you guys ever tried this before wine man i'm thinking a certain fungi to make you catching the noble rot on this one absolutely they know what they're doing around here um bulgaria you say this oh yeah that was fun that guy was like we did the wine flight he's telling us all this information about wines I'm like he was good until the wind off the sea in Bulgaria really creates a certain type of grape it doesn't usually have that sort of hot and cold and we're like right right he kept being like stop me if I'm boring and you were like no and then he would start talking we'd all be like I know at one point I started pouring I'm like wait sorry man keep going no it's just yeah he loves he loves his job and I love be like, I know.
At one point I started pouring. I'm like, wait, sorry, man.
Keep going.

No,

this is,

yeah.

He loves,

he loves his job and I love that he loves his job.

Yeah,

absolutely.

Getting some more into tea time.

What are some recent obsessions you've had?

I feel like cat's eye is just such like a quick one for me.

Like my Instagram explore page is like half cat's eye.

Love them.

Love pop star Academy.

We've talked about Adela. I love Adela.
like those girls are just doing it and that whole world is so interesting and just seeing it from like this global girl group that's definitely still targeted towards americans it's like you don't see stuff like that right and you were a big fifth harmony fan a harmonizer yeah let's put that there's any fifth harmony want to come on here actually i know i'll we'll get them but we would love to have you big fan i don't know if i would talk i think i'm used to next one because it's one of those people that like you looked up to like so much right it was a really like i really love fifth harmony especially like diana jane and like lauren haraghi like actually lauren haraghi i she was so politically like outspoken and i was such a huge fan that I was like, oh, I was learning a lot from her. And then also, like, how outspoken she was was really, like, I think it really influenced me.
And then Diana Jane was also one of the first similar body types of, like, I saw in mainstream media. And it was, I was watching Fifth Harmony at, like like a time where I was very kind of insecure in my body and seeing her where I was like, that is a beautiful woman.
And I kind of look like that. Like that was such a wonderful exposure for me.
And I'm so glad I had Fifth Harmony. And also their music is so good.
The Reflection album is one of the best albums in the world. Going nowhere.

What are you called? A harmonizer?

Harmonizer.

Of course.

A harmonizer.

Actually, one time Alona gave me the biggest gift of all.

Oh, yeah.

I got a text in the group chat saying, I think Dinah Jane is at the center.

Being the rugby center that she trains at.

Yeah, thank you. And it was because her cousin was scrimmaging there or something.
Yeah. So she was watching her cousin, and I texted along in the group chat, and I was like, go find her.
And she was like, oh, I think she was already left. I, like, left, gave her a voice note.
I was like, you have to run across, and you have to find her, because this means so much, and you have to. Of course.
And then, like, an hour later, I get a video, and it's Dinah Jane talking to me. She freaked out.
She was crying. That was actually the best gift I think you've ever given me okay gift giving unintentional gift giving oh god so fifth harmony all the girl groups have you ever seen them live i don't want to bring this up is this like a touchy subject i don't remember have you i was too they never came to brlington of course um and i remember one time i was gonna ask mom to go to montreal but i like i think i was i've always been weird about money and i didn't want to ask mom and dad to like bring me to montreal spend like money on the tickets in a hotel and i so regret that because i think mom would have been overjoyed for me to ask her to like have something that i'm so passionate about i've seen normani live and it was actually the funniest reaction it was at the sweetener tour she was She was one of the opening ads.
Oh, yeah, yeah. And I was sitting next to my friend's friend.
I didn't really know her. And then Normani came out and I just slapped her.
Like, it was just such a visceral reaction from me. I was like, that's her.
You didn't know that was happening? No, I knew it was happening. Because that she was there.
I was so overwhelmed. I was like, that's Normani.
And then I've seen Lauren live as well, opening for Banks. Think about Idr it jonna too she loves live music you go to concerts alone too i do i actually prefer going alone interesting

because then i don't have to worry about you like and i can figure out like when i want to get there when i want to leave i can find a better spot because i don't have to worry about you i love a concert uh by myself that's a that's a hot take a lot of people don't like that a lot of people don't do it but you also like a lot of sometimes obscure artists like she showed us billy eilish before years ago before she was big i remember showing me this i was like what's happening here like obscure very moody girl singing in a microphone right now i'm here for it you showed us chapel roan Rhone beforehand. Way early on.
Way early on. There's some others too.
So you just love music in general. I love music in general.
And it's, I think concerts are just so fun. And like, it's a different experience to then just listening to the prerecorded.
And it's just, for me, it's like, not to get like dramatic, but it's like the beauty of being alive and the beauty of being human is, like, watching these live performances. And so, of course, I'm going to seek that out.
And I live in New York City, and I was so excited to move to New York City, and I was, like, I'm going to be able to see so many people because not everyone goes to Burlington. Yeah, right.
Yeah. But they're going to go to New York.
And I've just made it my mission to go, like, and I will go if I only know the opening artist. That's even better for me because then i don't have to stick around for the main act and fight everyone oh like you know the opening artist so you'll go for the opening yeah even if you don't care about the main act i've left for the main acts before you're like dad in that way dad also just loves live music loves going to concerts standing there you don't like i was gonna say alone is the opposite my hot take don't like concerts how are we getting there where are there? Where are we being dropped off? What time are we getting there at? Oh, where are our seats at? How am I going to pee? Is it going to be long lines to pee? Am I going to miss some of the show? How are we getting out of there? A thousand girls are leaving this.
More than thousands of girls are leaving. Where do I get the Uber? Oh, the Uber's not coming.
I don't even go. You have to think bigger.
I'm sorry. But it's also the actual content of it for you, too.
Sometimes you're like, I can listen to this in my car. I'm like, this is exactly what the TV sounds like in my car.
I can say this. It's the same thing I get.
Why am I wasting my time here? She feels that collective effervescence, and she said, that's not for me. I'm like, put it right on Spotify.
It's the same sound. They're actually better on my phone.
Right. Well, especially when it's like literally, like, who did I see? I don't remember, but they sound, in a very impressive way, sound exactly like they do on their songs.
like it's like literally like i went who did i see i don't remember but they sound in a very impressive way sound exactly like they do on their songs like it's and there's like tech elements to it there's live music but i was like this is exactly the same as what which to most people would be like that's amazing that they can sound the same sing the same and i was like i should hear this in the speakers in my car. Yeah.
I got surround sound. Yeah.

My little speaker is doing the same thing, you know?

Yeah.

And I'm a hater, but you love it.

I love it because it's just hearing the emotion in a voice.

One of my favorite Beyonce songs, I think it's Sandcastles, because there's a moment

where her vocals are just so raw and beautiful that I feel like I'm transcending because

I hate an over-processed song where I'm like, you taking away the artist well that's a little dramatic but sorry I don't want to offend anyone but I'm just like I feel like you're taking away from the body and the soul of it sometimes like let me hear you. Damn that's deep.
Let me hear you. You did have like a crazy amount of hours listening on Spotify one year.
Oh yeah. I always have very high well because blast.
Very high. Well, because I'm always listening.
Like, working eight hours a day, I don't put on Spotify. I love doing, like, music if I'm reading a fantasy book, like, going on YouTube and finding, like...
Your cocomelon? Oh, that's one thing about Olivia. Let's talk about the cocomelon.
You share, Jano. So, we call it Olivia's cocomelon.
It's not cocomelon. But, you know, just babies,, just like, they're locked in.
Olivia finds these, like, so-fi, lo-fi. Lo-fi, but it's like these animated backgrounds.
So it'll be like soft beats in a garden library in Germany. It'll be like Café Tunes in, like, East L.A.
And there's like a, it'll be like a animated cartoon shop. And then there's a cat walking past the window and the coffee cup is steaming.
And then the cat walks past again. God, she's now also getting into like DJ sets on YouTube.
Oh yeah, she is. That's my new thing.
One guy just like spinning in his living room, making the most aesthetic video you've ever seen. I love it just keeps it keeps me company and i love putting them on like the cozy fireplace ones i don't want to hear the fireplace okay i don't want to hear the crackling in the fireplace well sometimes they do those atmospheric ones but i just want like the cozy jazz at night with the the fireplace background you know what i mean in a castle reading or like yeah the jazz cafes the i have daytime ones and i have nighttime ones and she'll yell at you if you pick the wrong one yeah i'm like you're insane those are the vibes right now you're picking a winter nighttime scene for me right now it's spring morning what is wrong it's really tough when you ask me to put one on at like 4 p.m and i'm like what mood is she in sometimes it's a test i will say sometimes i'm like do you want to put on a cocomelon we also only call it cocomelon which, which is my favorite part.
We video call like all the time. And so we'll be on it and she'll be like, I can hear your cocomelon in the background.
Like jazz cafe. She loves the jazz cafe.
I'm all about working smarter, not harder and working funner. And my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, it gets that.
This phone is basically my new teammate. I just talk and it makes things happen.
I'm practically a magician now. Mornings used to be chaos.
These days I just check my now brief while I'm brushing my teeth and boom, my whole day is laid out. That leaves more time for the things I care the most about.
Now brief also shows me my energy score every morning. It's a snapshot of my daily readiness based on yesterday's sleep, activity, and heart rate.
So I know when I need to take it easy. And I'll never say no to more sleep.
Personally, my selfie game has never looked better thanks to S25 Ultra. The AI recognizes skin tones and adjusts to preserve natural textures, giving every shot a polished look that's ready to light up my socials.
That means I don't have to spend time later finessing the shot with a filter. And for those times when I don't capture that perfect shot,

the camera uses Galaxy AI to bring out the best in every face I snap.

No extra steps, no distractions, just my phone doing the work for me.

So yeah, S25 Ultra handles the details so we can focus on being in the moment.

Taylor Swift. No, both years.
Big Swifties here, guys. Swifties in the house.
These two are some Swifties. She's been with me like my whole lot yeah yeah so they went to the LA concert they went to era they were pretty much second to last row like the nosiest of bleeds and they cried still oh I cried when she came out for fearless era Olivia didn't know whether to sit or stand like I have a video of her and she was like halfway between the two and I was like shaking.

She's just like the way she literally has eras for each of the albums.

Each of those albums fits an era of my life.

I've just grown up the way I am an oldest sister.

Sometimes it's corny, but sometimes I'm like the way she writes her music and her lyrics,

it feels like an older sister describing things happening to me.

So describing those emotions as I'm experiencing them for the first time and like love and heartbreak and you know what growing up and the songs about her mom so i always like i've so i've almost saw that you know growing up she's bit there's like if you give me an album i know what era of my life like that one was for so who's on yours well everyone always asks me my favorite artists and it's always like it's nobody cool it's nobody like you know niche i like what everybody else is listening to yeah i'm a follower absolutely everybody's liking chaperone i'm loving chaperone if we all love her there must be something to her so i think my number one is chaperone right sabrina carpenter was there sabrina was in mine as well jungle i'm a big jungle fan right now i love a jungle love him love him love him would you guys go to Coachella if you got the opportunity? Because that's, that's again for me. I don't know if I want to go.
How do I get there? How do I get out there at the end of the day? I've heard the food's like 25 bucks for a sandwich. I got to stay on the whole day.
What if it, so I don't know if I actually ever want to go. I mean, I feel like that's a big yes for you.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Literally love that.
I've been wanting to for so long. Just music festivals in general.
I've only been to one. I went to Oceaga, which is Canada's Coachella.
And actually, I went on a great year. Like Billie Eilish was there, Calliucci's, like so many great people.
And I loved it. And I know Coachella is like a whole other beast because it's the desert, but like, I want to go once.
I do think I'd love it. I really do.
And it's just so many big names. And it just also feels like a cultural moment almost, not like a Woodstock at all, but I just want to be able to say like bragging rights, I've been to Coachella.
I've never really been to a music festival in that way. So the is very cool to me but then when i lean that way but on the other side i'm like the logistics of it sound like a nightmare you see these horror videos about the like getting into palm springs the traffic the flights in the one the people that camp and then they're lining up to shower like it's a lot so it's like i'm split i'm like i would love to experience that at some point that'd be so amazing to like go and like be a part of i guess history in that way i get that it's like it's evolved and changed and it's not coachella 2016 you know but it's um but then the logistics of it you know i would camp scare me you'd camp you'd camp i can i couldn't even think about that i couldn't even i i think you have to line up for to take a shower actually that just pissed me off i think i maybe have like two three more years me which i would be like i could camp and then i'm probably gonna be like no but like you're gonna rough it and you know that but i don't yeah i don't want it and that's 30 golf cart and that's 30 but i also felt that at 25.
Well, hopefully Coachella 2025, you guys will hit it up. Not me.
I got other things I got to do. She's got other things she wants to do.
Sleep in a bed. Anything to do with that.
We're going to see you there this year. Like some big, big brand.
Like backstage. Artist pass.
Okay, I will go for that. She lives the plot of that movie that came out.
Oh, I have the idea. I will go for that.
Oh my God. Hopefully.
As you know, we are professional sisters, right? We can settle some sister squabbles. So for Wind Down, we're going to go over a submission and tell you what we think about it.
Need advice or just want to share a sister struggle well we are here to help send us a dm or voice notice at house of mar for a chance to be featured on the show we we know what we're talking about people yeah some of us got a lot of experience we got a couple degrees between us right we could help honorary doctorate almost i have two degrees oh yeah and that will be brought up more and more. I'll say it probably each episode.
This week's submission from Anonymous. Let's dive into this.
I need a sanity check. Am I overreacting or is my sister being ridiculous? We've always had this low-key rivalry, but lately it feels like every conversation is a competition.
I mentioned I was thinking of taking a pottery class and not even a week later she signed up for a ceramics workshop and sent me a picture of a mug she made i mean good for her but come on i want to call her out but i also don't want to come off as petty what should i do i would jokingly call her out but like also in a way where it's like you you joke about what you so I would jokingly to one of you be like oh see you're doing pottery class that I was gonna do oh you know and then which maybe isn't the best way to go about it but I do find humor can be an escape in a way so I'd be like oh that's so interesting oh I wanted to that. And then there's a conversation to be had.
Absolutely.

And I'm almost seeing it like,

is she trying to connect with you already?

Because you said you wanted to do that.

So she did it.

So she could talk,

you guys could talk about it together, maybe?

Point of connection?

I see it as like,

sisters, I think,

are like the original influencers.

And especially as a younger sister,

like Alona the other day was like, I'm going to straighten my hair. And I was like, I should have straightened my hair.
Frick damn it. So cool.
What a great idea. Now I'm going to be a follower.
I've never done that. I know.
I can't straighten my hair because she's going to say it. Or the classic thing that's like, well, I was going to straighten my hair actually first.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, of course. No, we've done it many times.
And so I think that's be taken into account, that you could just be inspiring her and that she might just be like, that's actually a good idea. I want to do that.
I think it's just a lot of factors, though, of like how many times has she done this. But I think it is worth addressing, but keeping in mind that you could just be inspiring.
Yeah. What's that thing that's like the highest form of flattery, you know? It's imitation.

Yeah, it's imitation.

Maybe it's that.

Because it was your idea and she knows that.

You know, you did say it.

I like that, though, being the original influencers. That is who you want to be like at first.

Did you want to be like Olivia?

I was...

Like when you were young.

I don't think I've ever asked you that.

No, I don't think I was ever like...

It was both of you, like honestly. I do have think I've ever asked you that.
No, I don't think I was ever like... It was both of you.

Like, honestly.

Like, I do have an embarrassing history

of just like following in Olivia's footsteps.

Like, went to the same college,

moved to the same city.

Now, maybe one day I will follow her

to a different city.

And I'm like,

God, I gotta find something original.

Like, that is so dumb.

I don't have wrote in this submission or no.

Olivia wrote in this submission.

Do you need to talk about something

no I think it was very much of like if I'd be like I don't really know if I want this shirt anymore and I put it in the giveaway pile one of you grabs it I'm like my shirt that was a great shirt I was like I didn't mean to put it in the giveaway pile that's actually mine I'm taking that back right now you definitely all are my influencers like Olivia once bought a shirt and then i was like what is that shirt from where's that shirt from she's like oh it's this one she sends to me i buy two of them i was like well that color is cute or what the hell no i gotta go get that she's bought in pants i've then bought in the same pants adrana has done her hair a certain way i have then done my hair this way she she curls my hair so then then you know we look alike so they are my influencers and also they're my influencers when it comes to humor and what i do online everybody i'll say it many times everyone thinks i'm i'm like the funniest one but i've actually influenced more by what they do and the humor that they bring like i almost think that olivia's humor like as she's i take a lot of what she does and i incorporate it into my own humor so she she'll she's very self-deprecating will tell a story in a certain way where she brings her whole body into it she's like very much this so then when i tell a story i i do what olivia does so that's how where i get a lot of my humor and jokes from and from age on as well so i think that's interesting that we are so much influenced by those around us so your sister told you she wanted to do potter you're like well that's a freaking great idea i mean it's potter that's probably what happened to me it's happened many times you know and i guess if it keeps happening yeah you got to talk about it but i think we do do a lot of things through humor because it softens it and helps is like the great mediator so yeah approach it as a joke but until you gotta have like a real serious sit down about it yeah i love a bit of physical comedy oh she'll like i love getting my whole body towards her body but i do like i do a workshop like adriana's talked about like she hears these stories so much because i'm honing my craft every time each time it's a little different but it's still the same and it's getting better each time yeah yeah absolutely and it can be annoying and i'm like way to reuse the same joke and alona like our dad has said you know it's funny that each time. Yeah.
Yeah. Absolutely.
And it can be annoying. And I'm like, way to reuse the same joke.
And Alona, like our dad has said, you know, it's funny that Alona is known for her humor. She's my third funniest daughter.
One time we asked him, he was like, hey, dad, who's your funniest daughter? And he goes, well, it's not Alona. And that hurt.
But then because like Alona, we are, we're drawn. And I like, I mean, I'm not going to be like, I'm so funny.
But like like we are, I'd be laughing. She's laughing.
We make you laugh. It's not for me.
You make us laugh. You know, I will say it's humbling.
You say a joke at the table. I say a joke at the table.
Not many people laugh at it. I'm like, that was kind of, that would have gone miles on the internet.
Yeah. You guys don't know what you're talking about.
I barely get a chuckle out of my dad. I don't, I don't get laughs like they do.
Do you guys did you remember that that uh that tiktok trend that was just about something and a girl made a thing that was like yeah i'm not gonna give you a pity laugh like my family i was i was seven years old bombing at the dinner table you know like we we were here to work to this day we can bomb at the dinner table oh we'll be bombing the dinner table but like it made us who we are but even after those the the first couple of episodes that we've shot alona was like i need y'all to be funnier well i i think that the eyes they'll get comfortable you guys will see that they're just they are funnier than i am and the way that they they use comedy and humor is very it's not different but just i guess would say an elite level and like but it's just how it's it's just different like i say my jokes online and i know now what people online like maybe it's like it's you know intelligence you have to be intelligent to be to be funny i think and these two are very funny and and intelligent at how they can spin a tail and i i mean i laugh the hardest because of these guys i think it's olivia and i have very similar senses of humor and how we tell jokes and yours is a little different and i don't know if i can really no read me for filtho no no no because like your jokes work so well with certain groups of people but like we know how to make our dad laugh yeah and like our humor i think maybe fits more with his is a more general, like, I don't want to say palatable. No, I think it could be what you say.
You make mom giggle. Like mom loves your stuff.
Mom yells at us for our jokes. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Whereas dad will actually almost pass out, like crying with laughter.
Thanks, mom. If you haven't made dad vagal, you're not funny.
No, yeah, literally. Thanks, mom.
I love you. Dad, freak yourself.
She'll try harder. Yeah, I'll try harder, dad.
Sorry. Sorry.
Went to the Olympics for you. Sorry.
Can't make you laugh. I play your sport.
Oh, my gosh. Needy.
