I remember just going over to your place and just your ground turkey meal prepped in the fridge.

I was like, what?

I probably had hair rollers in my hair too because I was practicing how to do that.

Just coming from our household, we've never had ground turkey.

Yeah.

And I was like, because I remember it so vividly, Olivia.

I was in a Tupperware and it was like half ground turkey, half like vegetables.

And I was like, what is she eating?

What is she doing?

Do you need help?

Like twice.

I did.

Welcome back to House of Mar, a wave original presented by the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Help yourself to anything in the fridge.

The Wi-Fi password is hockey smut all uppercase.

And I'm Alona.

I'm Olivia.

And I'm Adriana.

And that Wi-Fi password was for you.

No, it wasn't.

Not actually.

No.

I don't claim that Wi-Fi password.

Oh, okay.

It's

hockey loves stories, actually.

Right, right.

Right, right.

Deep intimate.

Yeah.

Right.

Nothing biblical.

Of course.

Coming up on today's episode of House of Marr, we have tea time.

We're talking all things style, makeup on the field or pitch, and our pageant talents.

We also have a sister settle it submission about respecting common areas.

So stay tuned.

I'm going to start strong with a touch grass that we were recently talking about here.

I think everyone needs a touchgrass when it comes to the price of mock tails.

Oh, right.

What are your thoughts on this?

Why is it $14 for a mocktail, right?

Right, really.

Yeah, you're telling me the shot of vodka was only $4

adding into that?

Right, right.

What did you just pay yesterday for a mock tail?

$12 for jeans.

I'm going to be honest, though, that one was incredible.

Okay,

so, so, like, outside of this conversation, that one I would spend $12 again for.

Really?

Like, it was so good.

You said there was too much ice in it, though.

That's the other thing.

They'd pack it with ice.

Because I'm like, I get it with like cocktails of how

you're doing like 1.5 ounces in this.

So, of course, it's not gonna be a lot of liquid you can do a lot of liquid with a mocktail why are you filling it up with ice but i get that they are like a crafted thing like they're adding the rosemary essence and the this and they're really they're getting they're doing their mix all they're doing their big mix allergy thing with it but i think big mocktail has gone too far big mocktail at what point do you just order a a coca-cola can i do that a lemonade if i am not drinking i'll try to get like a kombucha or something like that good for your gut good for your gut good for my gut but i think that it works out because Because I do, we here like the act of drinking.

We like like coming around, having a cocktail created.

We love it.

Love the social aspect of it.

Love the social aspect, but it can be hard to, you know, not drink at that time.

So I do like to have something in my hand that does feel like it.

So I do like, I love to have a mocktail, but I...

It needs something needs to change.

We were just at a birthday party and you were drinking kombucha out of a wine glass.

Delicious.

So you still felt like aesthetically involved and you were part of the culture, but you know, just having your little boots.

That's what I think for else for people who aren't drinking, if you're at a bar or you're out with friends, order like a, you know, club soda in a glass or even water in a glass and just put a single lime in there.

They'll think it's a vodka soda and they won't ask you questions.

Yeah, exactly.

I want to talk about this story that I think is hilarious.

I think you can tell it better.

I'll jump in when I need to, but

this was really a moment where we were just like,

all right.

Oh, that's crazy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, we

on the move.

I'm traveling.

Wasn't using my car.

And so it was sat for a little while.

And when I finally went to use it, the battery was dead, right?

So I call roadside assistants, a wonderful man comes to the truck to jump my battery, but he does the test on it.

And he's like, hey, this thing is actually just like dead.

Like you need a new one.

This has been in here too long.

I was like, all right, fair.

So I pay the $200 or whatever it is.

And I get a brand new battery put into my car.

I do a little bit more traveling.

I come back, battery is dead again.

I'm like, no freaking way, but I'm about to do some more traveling.

So I'm like, I'm not going to jump it yet.

I'm just going to let it sit here in my garage, my gated garage.

And I'll do it when I come back.

Flash forward, here's Alona and I coming back to him, like, well, we got to jump my battery.

Let's get my roadside assistants back in here.

Roadside assistants comes.

He's going over to open up the hood.

I'm explaining, yeah, I just got a brand new battery in here.

Isn't that crazy?

Like,

you just, why would like, I can't believe this would happen.

I can't believe this battery would die so soon.

And he goes, What battery?

There's a hole in my engine.

Right.

Clean out.

Someone got into my gated garage, opened my old ass Honda's hood somehow without unlocking the car and took my brand new battery.

Yep.

You were on someone's rob list.

I'm convinced it was an inside job.

Well, inside of where I was.

I didn't possibly know you had a new battery in too.

That's maybe.

Did you get it installed in the same garage?

Yeah.

So someone might have seen, but I asked the guy, well, he said, what battery?

I was like, okay, sassy.

I was like, that's interesting.

Are you selling any batteries today, sir?

And he said, said, yes, I am.

So then I'm like, have you, what, how did they get into the hood?

Like, how did they pop the hood without having a car unlocked?

He goes, I'll be honest, I've never seen this before.

Okay, cool.

Love being, love being the first.

So $200 more.

He then goes, you also have to pay this fee because it's the battery recycling fee.

I'm like, but there's no battery to recycle.

He was like, yeah, exactly.

Like, you're not giving me a battery to recycle.

So you have to pay this fee.

I was like, you're joking.

so i had to pay an extra fee on top of this brand new battery to be put into my car but if that you know that really that really grounds you that brings you back to reality

but i will say so it was interesting so it's a locked gate it's a gated place we were like what the heck but i

started to do some snooping around she went full nancy drill frick full nancy what the heck and my roommate a couple years ago i was living in a house with a girl and i guess she'd heard noises outside thankfully she didn't go out but in like within five minutes these people had come lifted up her prius stolen her catalytic converter and gotten out of there so i knew the priuses were big people i've taken a prius a prior catalytic converter so i over like two spots over from olivia is like this dusty prius so i'm like snooping around i'm like like

checking out the dust swapping for fingerprints and i noticed on the hood of this prius there's like two handprints like this which isn't where you get the catalytic converter you get the catalytic converter underneath as well But I was like, I would bet money that car does not have a catalytic converter.

And if they were able to get in the hood, it does not have a battery in there.

Something else is like literal handprints right on

the hood of that car.

Crazy.

So then I go and park my car in the street.

Lily's like, Are you sure you don't want to move to the garage?

I was like, Is it even safe in there?

I'm saying it's stolen from the street, honestly.

Street might be safe throughout in public.

Wild,

so no, nothing safe, is what we're saying.

That wasn't a welcome home to LA.

Nothing is safe, nothing is safe, but I have a new battery, but don't tell anybody.

Don't, guys, don't tell anybody.

Seriously, don't tell anybody.

And also, I'm selling a battery.

Oh, and then we pull back in like the next day, and I was like, really hope that battery's still in there.

The lights are fully on inside of my car.

So, to the point where I feel like someone's messing with you,

I was like, what the heck?

There's a poltergeist for sure.

Like, someone's trying to get me.

Like, the lights were fully on inside of my car, draining the battery, this brand new battery.

So, I was like, on the plus side, I still have a battery in that car.

You left it on just to know.

Running those lights.

On the bummer side, those lights have been on for two days.

So brand new battery, though.

This is why I'm glad I live in New York.

Right.

Speaking of New York, we recorded this before the Met Gala, but we know for you all, it's just happened.

So we wanted to have a big style gab sesh.

I do love the Met Gala.

Do you?

I don't know much about fashion, but I'm the number one critique, actually.

Really?

I'm like on

any social media waiting for like the drops of the celebrities and like, let me see their outfits.

Do you watch the people that review the outfits like on TikTok or their

critique it?

Yeah, I'm not like commenting on it, but I'm reading all the comments and

so right.

So have you had some favorite Met Gala themes?

Yeah.

Well, themes, of course.

I still think one of the best was

Looking Camp Brain in the Eye.

That was a great one.

Yeah.

Sorry.

But Heavenly Bodies, the Catholicism one, the looks on that carpet were crazy.

Like, still some of the best, in my opinion.

My limited opinion.

Just dripped in gold.

God, and just the imagery.

And like, I think people, because like a history of Catholicism and like the culture, and like it's, they do know how to make

it look pretty.

Quite the aesthetic.

Yeah.

Stained glass.

They've got it.

Yeah.

And so I did love that theme.

But is there someone you're always anticipating on the carpet you're excited to see?

It is, and it's

Emma Chamberlain.

Oh, whatever she's wearing.

I just love her so much.

I think we all kind of have a, what do they call it?

Like a parasocial relationship.

Yeah.

And so like, that's my best friend.

Got to see what she's doing on the carpet.

And that one, I can't remember which year it was.

It was when she was like in that like almost like 1920s-esque one with like the little bit of green liner.

Amazing.

Perfect.

No notes.

I think if I ever went to the Met Gala, I don't think I live up to the expectations that I would have for myself.

right what do you mean like i don't

because i'm so judgmental of everyone else that i'm like i only find like one out of ten looks to be like on theme and good i know i'd be one of the nine right

unfortunately if you went to the met gala are you

performing are you falling down the stairs Or are you making the biggest splash with your outfit?

I'm going to be so honest.

Maybe I need to like be more confident.

I think I'm just going to like blend in.

I don't think.

I i don't think i don't care much about the biggest splash i think if you go you should try should try yes but i don't it's a night of fashion like try as big splash but i feel like when i hear big splashes i think like crazy outfits are just like insane like i think you should try as hard as you can to do something big and to be on theme okay people who aren't on theme boring what's the point of going I've never been all the men, most of the men.

Yeah.

Get me something different than a suit, please.

And then people say like, oh, there's not many options for them you can still wear whatever just because you're a man how about it let's get some more prints let's do something yeah right

you can wear a skirt no lonel i think you could make a splash like you should do something that people talk about right like

that leaves an impression you don't want to just be like forgot like you don't want people to forget that you were there i i understand but there's like so many right and there's going to be people who are just going to go crazy with it you know who's like rihanna with like a cape whatever whatever that goes down the stairs, you know, like I don't see myself at that level to do that, you know,

but I also, because I, with that, I think it's also about how good I feel in it.

And I don't know if I would feel as confident in something that's a little bit out there for me.

Drawing all the attention to you?

No, I don't mind the attention on me, but if I just don't feel good enough in it, like if it's something like just weird and boxy or this, like, I don't want to wear it just because it's like people are going to take a look at it.

I'd want to feel good in it.

So even if that means like taking back the splash a little bit, okay, as long as you feel good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because it is about your energy too and the way you embody it and present yourself.

What is the theme this year?

So the theme is super fine, tailoring black style, but the dress code is tailored to you.

It sounds like you have a little bit freedom to like dress how you would, but bring in those inspirations in.

Like, I guess when I hear tailoring, I think very well done, precise, clear measurements.

kind of you're rocking it right now honestly

you love

like this i live i like things that are tailored yeah i've gotten into having outfits that are made for my body and there is something that feels so good when something's made perfectly for you yeah like a dancer the stars that the wardrobe department they had a mannequin my body and then they make things like

perfectly to fit your body and there's something about that like something that's made for you just slips on it makes you feel good immediately um so i'm interested to see what that'll be for some people like will some people just take it off the rails then?

And because there are always those people who just don't even,

aren't even close to it.

Which is like, I guess it's up for interpretation, but also, yeah.

Like, do what you got to do.

Yeah.

Who are the co-chairs?

I think we have Coleman Domingo, ASAP Rocky,

Lewis Hamilton.

Pharrell.

Pharrell, okay.

Pharrell.

And then Miss Anna Wantor.

Anna Wentor.

Anna Wentor.

Interesting.

Very cool.

That's a solid group.

Yeah.

The tailoring, I guess, yeah, they call it tailoring with Dancing with the Stars.

Those women were unbelievable.

They didn't even measure you, right?

They sort of got a feel for your body.

They kind of felt me and then did it up.

And then did it.

And like, they might make adjustments, but it was pretty spot on every time.

Yeah.

That is such a

skill.

Witchcraft, actually.

It's crafts.

It's truly a craft to be able to do that.

sewing and like measuring and all that sort of stuff.

Like my friend Anna does it, but like it's you have to learn.

You have to like, it's a trade, you know, and sometimes people think, so don't go into trades but some of those are so important impactful like for her to do a job like that that not many people do i mean it's so many people we need that you know you forget you need that was that tweet that was like men please stop becoming djs we need plumbers like we need people in the trades like we need people to learn these things like electricians like you know mechanics um we have enough djs we have

okay for now mom was always great about encouraging us like if we wanted to go to trade school

she's like, it's a great option.

You can make a lot of money.

Yeah, yeah.

I think everyone should have that.

Like, especially if you don't want to, say, if you're feeling pressure to do a four-year degree, you don't need to.

You could have such an amazing career with a trade, you know, and it's like

being high school.

It's pretty guaranteed that you're going to make money.

Absolutely.

You're always going to need a plumber.

Always need a plumber.

Always need an electrician.

Always need someone to put rhinestones on

a dress.

Airplane mechanic.

That one I do feel.

I'm like,

you don't go to a four-year and then do more for airplane mechanic yeah trade school right okay add-on well no I don't know anything about this yeah yeah yeah so speaking of like style and tailoring I wonder like how all our styles have changed throughout the decades from you know middle school to high school to whatnot I mean how we've had to learn and grow about like figuring out what looks good on our bodies yeah and also like Yeah, finding a personal style, having come from so many years in Catholic school where we didn't dress ourselves like we talked about.

The uniform.

The uniform and like, which was helpful in those ages, but then like growing up and having to figure out what that looked like for each of us was obviously a process for anyone.

But I loved a hand-me-down.

Love a hand-me-down because then also, if it fits you guys, I know I know it's going to fit.

Yeah, right.

And like, I think when we were younger too, it was so hard to dress our bodies.

And that might have been because there was like more limited options that everything I felt didn't fit right.

Like, there's always a little off in like some department that, like, I think

you now have like access to all these like internet sites where you can get it and tall or you know you can try things on a little easier and return them and so like i've have i've had an easier time to dress myself right and things that actually fit that make me then feel better like it took me until maybe like three years ago till i found like jeans that actually fit yeah and that was a game changer you know not having to go to our alma to be like Can you tailor this?

Can you fix this?

And it was just like she'd make like little pleats on the side and they'd still be sticking out.

Bless her heart.

Yeah.

But like, of course, it was, it still just didn't fit right, right?

You know, like, do you have any style inspirations?

I think, like, whenever I get the chance to look put together, I try to use it because in my job, it's like I'm never able to, you know, I'm wearing team-issued gear.

I'm wearing jerseys and whatnot.

I mean, we don't even do like, you know, how WNBA has gotten into like.

doing their walks into games where they have style and get to show their personality.

I think in our sport, it's not really a thing.

It's very much so where what the team issued to this meeting to there, are they there?

Only recently for the Bristol Bears did we do a day where we got to dress up and walk into the stadium together, like walk in, wearing our outfits.

But I think style has been kind of like left out of rugby.

And I think it's slowly making its way in because as we know, like style can be such a way to show your personality as well.

And rugby at times, especially in men's rugby and women's as well, it's like, well, you're a team, so you all should be connected and wearing the same stuff and no one should be higher than the other.

we're working together but

the team is full of individuals who want to show off themselves and like at the end of the day we also have all have a brands we're trying to put out there yeah and trying to get people to notice so I think like those little moments where I can show myself off wearing you know what I want to is really impact is important for me I mean One thing I do is like I wear lipstick when I play, which you all know, because I've always found like, especially being put in that box of a rugby player, it's like, you know, you have to be big and masculine and they just go on there and play.

But I never liked that.

I was told to be this certain way when I played a sport.

And so I think I started wearing lipstick.

I would always wear makeup, but I think I started wearing lipstick like 20, 21.

Okay.

And I just, I started out with a little bit of less bold lip.

And then I got a little bit bolder with my lip.

And now I just love wearing it because I think it's like you get to take that little bit of beauty into the game that it's sometimes missing or that you sometimes thought of like it shouldn't be there.

Um, and so it's kind of become my signature style, which is so funny.

Wherever I go, people are like, Okay, do you want to wear the bold lip?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I actually don't, I don't usually wear a fully bold lip.

Yeah, I love to wear lipstick, but I never like, don't usually wear a bright red, but it's become everyone thinks of it as my style.

So, whenever I'm like on a shoot, they're like, Okay, I have this color red for you and this color.

I'm like, Okay,

I love it.

A berry, a berry, yeah.

So, it is interesting how maybe you do something a certain amount of times becomes your style, Like, it becomes the thing you're known for.

So, the lipstick has become a thing I'm known for, which also really been a great move for me.

I mean, it's been like

not only cut become a signature, but like brands want to work with me because of it.

And, you know,

you're known as the girl with the lipstick.

It sets you apart from people.

You're wearing lipstick out in the field.

One thing I have loved is seeing more women's rugby players putting on makeup to wear rugby and like not be ashamed about it.

Like, I see girls just putting on a full face before they go play because I think it's us kind of like taking back our own narrative and saying like an F you to those who think that we have to leave our our beauty our femininity at the door when we go play this tough sport it's like I know the best sporting players in the world who have a full beat on yeah yet are still an amazing rugby player so

I am loving that I think rugby should get more into that style now of showing outfits off and of getting to wear that because

Again, it's a little thing that just can tell you about somebody.

And to get to know them through that, you really show yourself.

And then other people get to love you more for it, or get to hold on to you, like, oh, that's that girl that wore that crazy thing that I saw, or whatever.

And I'm sure that she had little bows in her hair, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I'm gonna grab on to you.

My favorite, like, trend, or not even trend, but style thing is during the Olympics, is when everyone reports on all the nails of the female

Olympian and athletes, and people were reporting on your nails, like you and your teammates went and got your little stars and stripes.

And there was an article about how to get a loan to Mars exact, like manicure.

No, and it was like right pinky, a white star with a blue background, and a a and it was like, and then it was like left ring finger.

I was like, what?

What?

And what's so funny that I take those off before I play because, you know, me and nails.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

But I not, I just like, I'm a picker, but I got my nails on because it is, it's a way you can personalize yourself.

And send, you know, some people will wear eye makeup and glitter and whatnot.

I think that

we want to set ourselves apart, you know, it's becoming more so is like you have to also take care of yourself and

put yourself out there in a certain way.

Literally look good, feel good, play good.

Yeah.

That rhetoric.

And I just, for the Olympics, I love how far

we can go with stars and stripes.

Like the amount of cool designs and how they're still coming up with new fun things is just every year.

I love seeing all the slideshows of those at the Olympics.

Ever feel like your phone should just do what you need without making you tap through multiple apps?

Same.

That's why my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is my ultimate teammate.

It's always ready to step in.

Just ask Galaxy S25 Ultra to invite them both to that hip new cocktail bar tonight.

Your phone will find the info and text it to them.

Done.

No scrolling, no copy-pasting, no extra steps.

And the best part, it all happens across multiple apps.

No more flipping between windows, getting distracted, or forgetting what I was doing.

S25 Ultra just handles it.

Need to send a quick summary of an email, but don't have time to read the whole thing?

It even helps with messaging.

I can tell it summarizes conversation and draft a professional reply.

Suddenly, I'm a productivity master.

But here's where it really earns its spot on the team: it keeps learning what I need.

Less tapping, less switching, more winning.

Can I ask a little silly question?

Yeah, you can ask a silly question.

For the women who are wearing the full faces of makeup for rugby, obviously it's such a high contact sport.

Do you ever leave with makeup on your kit?

Interesting.

Girls will, first off, it's kind of like a tried and tested trial and error thing, you know?

Like we go through, we have to figure it out what we got to wear.

I remember in college, there was this team me playing this girl who would wear a full face of makeup, and I was like, why is she wearing makeup?

I was like, what's this doing?

And I realized, oh, she just feels good in makeup.

She wants to wear makeup when she plays as well.

But that did mean that her whole, the neck of her, like, white jersey was all covered in a concealer.

So I think we've had to go through that trials of figuring it out.

Like, the certain mascara to wear, the certain foundation to wear.

I mean, one of my teammates from Bristol Bears, Holly Acheson, does videos on like what she wears to keep it on.

Oh, so.

So it's definitely like you have to learn.

And you're, sometimes I got like lipstick on my mouth guard.

I had to learn that way, you know?

It's like a learning process as style is, right?

It's as it is with clothes.

you start to realize oh this doesn't work for me it's the same with

makeup on the field yeah but also great products are coming out too that are now built for you know active lifestyles because absolutely it's not just rugby but people going to the gym also want to look cool and are putting on makeup to go to the gym so i think it's wherever we're realizing that beauty femininity can be brought into those spaces that traditionally they weren't really yeah accepted in and if it motivates you get into the gym you want to look cute you got a cute set on it motivates you to get there i love a cute set.

Yeah, we love a little athleisure or something that gets you excited to do it, get after it.

Do you ever match the lip with the athleisure?

Oh, oh, I've never done that.

I've never done that.

You can use that.

Thanks,

you have that one.

I love when things are kind of starting to kick off again and you were getting so recognized for your lipstick.

Any kind of branded shoot that you had from there, they would gift you more lipstick.

And you're like, this really worked out.

I really, that was, I was really sick that I said I like lipstick.

Now I got so much cool lipstick.

That was great.

People started taking notice.

All been employed together.

Gotcha.

You've given her lipstick.

You got so much lipstick that you gave it to mom to give to the nurses.

Oh, I do.

One time I got a ton of lipstick from a brand and I love it all, but I gave it to my mom.

I was like, mom, give this to the nurse at the hospital.

The nurses were so excited.

They were just picking through and getting to pick all their colors.

And like, I love stuff like that because I do get a good amount of free stuff.

the joy that I give giving it to other people as well.

Like I now have said like notice a lot of free stuff, but when I do, I'm like, if my teammates want it, they get so excited.

It's like me almost getting to pass down this joy that I'm getting from all these companies.

So the lips, just know the lipstick is being loved.

Yeah.

Well, well loved.

Talking about styling.

How have we been styling ourselves for this pod?

I mean,

we, John and I love a little bit of a clothing rental.

There's something so fun about it.

Like just getting new things and it just, you have such a new like.

zest for getting dressed and doing things.

They were going on like a trip.

I just love having fun things.

Even if they're quite basic, it's new to me.

So it feels like super fun and elevated.

so we've been doing that we were kind of going for very cozy kind of homey vermont vibes but now we're very much so branching off into i think personal style like you mentioned like you love jeans and a and a and a top put with some heels with it get a heel on it god yeah dressed up alona power suit moment right now this is probably the best it's gonna get right i imagine it's only downhill from downhill dress recently i can't keep this up i was wondering at what point are we getting into like oversized sweatshirts and that's probably not one more graphic it's coming in soon.

It's coming soon.

Yeah.

I can't pick out another pair of shoes to show

to show.

But I think it is like we are expressing our style.

These are moments where we get to express our style as well.

Yeah.

So it has been nice.

Yeah.

But to be dressed up, to get, to get put together and be together instead of just our, you know, athleisure.

Nothing wrong with that.

I think I'm still really finding my style.

I think you've nailed it.

Obviously, you're not done.

It's still ever growing.

Right.

But I've, again, I love my basics.

It's something though, like that dress I wore like episode before, love that.

But that's something I would have never picked out beforehand.

And that was a clothing rental.

And it's just like, I love my clothing rentals because I'm trying so many things that, like, I would have never spent $250 on this.

You know, like, that's never crossed my mind.

It actually took me so long to pull the trigger on getting a clothing rental.

Like, I remember I was like looking through their site.

I had favorited stuff.

Didn't do anything for six months.

Oh, really?

And then I came back to it and I was like, no, like, I really wanted this one dress for actually a different birthday.

Yeah.

And I was like, it's

oh, that was a good dress.

That was a good dress.

I remember you looked amazing in that.

Wow, I like that.

But I was like, you know, I think that six items, it's going to be worth it.

You know, like, I'll try it once.

And if I don't think it's, you know, does anything for me, that's that.

It's $100.

And like, that's.

Okay, if you get six items and then the price per wear, and if I wear each twice, it's fine to spend like the hundred bucks.

The numbers have been crunched.

The numbers have been crunched.

Right.

And like, you know, almost a year later, I'm still doing it.

Yeah.

And it's, i've only bought one thing off of it but like i love it and i've done things i would have never done before i think it's some clothing it's to makeup and hair we'll be doing our own hair and makeup now and i feel a lot better like i feel like myself like i feel very i've got one gear when it comes to my hair and it's this like i might throw a curl in it if alone is dancing on national television but like that's that's about it but i feel prettiest like this and that's just how i i don't know i just feel good and i feel myself so we've been able to kind of branch out into that as well I had some experience doing my own hair and makeup as you you two famously know I competed in a pageant on a whim sort of back in college and that was I got to learn a lot about I guess Not even really personal style, but just like style of that world, pageantry and, you know, hair and makeup and doing it well and doing it right.

And it's talk about a like a skill, talk about a trade, like doing your own hair and makeup to a level like that was something very cool to experience.

But I did the Miss Vermont pageant and I got first runner-up and Miss Photogenic, and then I never did another pageant ever again.

But I just wanted to experience it and just be able to say that I did it.

You know, one day when I had a show with my sisters, I wanted to be able to sit here and say,

Yeah, I did a pageant.

Yeah, she's an Olympic medal, Miss Runner-Up.

Yeah, Miss First Runner-up.

Right.

Before girl dinner, it was the daughter that did the pageant, right?

Right, right.

But it was, it was a really cool experience because I just threw myself into it um

i uh the kind of i guess is the word impetus for it the where it came from was i went to a like a triple a baseball game with my dad and the person throwing the first pitch was miss vermont whatever don't know who you were sorry if this was you at the time it was a bad throw it was a bad throw and i remember i was like eating a hot dog uh with like and just having a day with my dad and i was like i could do that and he's like he was like yeah you'd be great at it i think he meant the actual throw not like pageantry.

But my brain ran with that.

And

I was like, yeah,

I would be good at that.

And I locked in for several months.

All I consumed was pageantry media, podcast learning, YouTube.

Like, I watched Miscongeniality.

Don't know how much that helped, but I got the dress and the shoes and the butt glue to keep your swimsuit down.

I learned which swimsuits were the best to be on stage, how to do my hair.

I had help from lots of people that I would like reach out to.

I learned how to walk and how to pose.

I threw myself into it for months.

It was all I thought about.

I like lived and breathed it.

And I came out and I was first runner-up.

I also love that they call it first runner-up and not second place.

Sounds better, right?

Yeah.

But it was cool to experience.

What was that?

My journey with that like for you guys watching that happen?

Well, I was there because we were both at college at the same time, especially when you were a senior.

And I remember just going over to your place and just your ground turkey meal prepped in the fridge.

I was like, what?

I probably had hair rollers in my hair too, because I was practicing how to do that.

Just coming from our household, we've never had ground turkey.

Yeah.

And I was like, because it was, I remember it so vividly, Olivia.

I was in a Tupperware and it was like half ground turkey, half like vegetables.

And I was like, what is she eating?

What is she doing?

Do you need help?

Like, twice.

I did.

But, like, I, I went to the,

what was it?

The pageant day too.

You went to the pageant?

Yeah, I was there.

I was in the audience.

And I do, like, it was so fun and just like interesting to see you up there.

But I remember like when it was like down to you and the one who won, I don't remember her name.

We were all kind of there and we're like, I don't know if we want her to win because it's such a time commitment afterwards.

Yeah, right.

Like, you're gonna have to go on to like the even like the US competition.

Like,

and then if like, what's that gonna be like when you're a senior in school?

Right, I gotta go to this universe, of course.

And so, we were all kind of there.

Like, we were like, is it bad that we kind of hope she doesn't win?

Thanks, guys.

Plotting on my down.

I talked about that, too.

I do.

I fully admit now.

I'm like, it's, I think it's kind of, you know,

everything happens the way it's supposed to.

It's good that it didn't because I got to then graduate school, move to New York City, and launch my life the way that I did.

Instead of being kind of trapped in the state of Vermont doing visits or whatever, Miss Vermont has to do from there.

Oh, really?

Yeah, she has to like be locked in for a year.

But like I said, if anything had happened to her, I would have had to step up into that role.

Did you have to do a talent?

No, this was not the one.

This was the Miss USA, whereas Miss America is where you do the talent.

But I always say, everyone asked me that and said, my talent was walking in a bikini because that took a lot of strength.

If you had to do one, do you know what talent you would choose?

I think you do like a big charcuterie board.

Like, can you just give her a bully?

She's like over it.

And then there's a camera.

The camera mounted above and you're like

tap towards me.

I'm like folding salami

for speed.

That's a good one.

Yeah, I think that should be it.

Charcuterie or grazing board.

Yeah, timed grazing board.

Timed grazing board.

It's like those cup things, you know, the cup stackers.

No, that's me.

Stacking brie.

I love that.

If you had a talent, what would you do?

Get an Excel sheet.

I was about to say get the sheets.

Excel sheets.

You're watching me sort data.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm color coding it.

So it's different talents.

You're using shortcuts on the keyboard.

Right.

I like that one.

What else could you do?

What else could I do?

Not to take a lonest thing, but yeah, I took two dance classes in college.

Yeah, the first one was mandatory for gen ed.

The second one was for fun.

You did that for your own.

I said, let me spend $2,000 on this.

Oh, my gosh.

There's nothing else to do with that school.

I had to.

You're right, you're right.

And so, like, I could pull out that routine.

Yeah.

You still remember it?

I think I can get into it.

Like, I have got the video on my phone.

Would you teach it to Alona?

No, because actually I had to choreograph it.

Okay, right.

It's not good.

Right.

Alona, what's your talent, babe?

You can't say rugby or putting on lipstick.

Putting on lipstick.

I wouldn't say we're a talented, like, bunch, like, internal

bunch.

You know, like, it's something

a niche thing.

It's like one thing that we're good at.

I really do consider us to be like jacks of all trades.

Like, master of them.

Masters of none.

Except for Alona.

She's quite the master when she does a few things.

Of rugby.

Yeah, social media.

People up there.

Stiff arming.

I don't really know.

Yeah, I guess I could maybe tackle.

people would love to see.

It's like a the miscongeniality where she fights them on stage.

Oh, yeah,

yeah, stage.

That'd be kind of good, actually.

Yeah, how to tackle a bag and get up quickly again.

I think I did hear, though, that at your at your pageant for the big, like, didn't dad and your

boyfriend come and watch?

Oh, yeah.

Everyone came out to support.

Big up.

That was your rugby.

That was your Olympics.

That was my Olympics for real.

No, that was fine.

That was fine.

I mean, I was truly had another friend come out to support.

It was quite nice, actually.

We had to go to random.

We went to Stowe, Stowe, Vermont, so obviously gorgeous.

But

that was, yeah, that was wild because it was this journey that I'd been so like tunnel vision on for so long.

And now other people were seeing it in person.

I was like, get out of here.

This is my thing.

What are you guys doing here?

I'm on a stage.

What's happening?

What was it like when it was just done?

And you weren't doing another pageant, like you were kind of free.

I felt crazy.

Yeah.

Because I'd been so hyper-focused on something for so long that all of a sudden it was over and it had a great like ending.

You know what I mean?

That I was kind of like, okay, what now?

Because I'd been in that, that zone of it.

But it was fine, but also we were sports people.

We never really, we did, we didn't do theater.

We didn't do anything stage or show-wise like that.

So it was my first sort of venture into that.

So I basically paved the way for Alona's Dancing with the Stars.

Right.

Right.

But we also didn't do any sports where it was like, you have to do your hair for it.

It's like no gymnastics or figure skating or anything like that.

It was.

None in that way where there had to be like prepped for it, I guess.

I did a little theater.

Oh, right.

I was Paris in Romeo and Juliet.

Who is Paris?

When did you do theater?

Well, the thing is, we had to do basketball in our household, so that kind of was a short-lived.

But would you have wanted to really go all in as a theater kid?

Yeah.

What?

Alas.

We're going to live both.

That was a huge thing with dad.

I was so, I was like, I want to do theater.

But he was like, no.

And so actually makes it.

It's funny because that man loves the theater.

Yeah, he's meant for the stage.

This is my dream, dad, not yours.

But that's actually sixth grade.

I was able to do the sound of music production.

Wow.

Oh, I had to go to that.

I just had a visceral memory of that.

I'm sorry.

Every weekend basketball game I had to go to of yours.

Ooh, how exciting.

You would like to see

and watch.

That was awesome.

We were great at basketball.

Because I was able to do

a CYO, Catholic Youth Organization basketball on the weekends.

So that's when dad and I shook hands.

And then the year after, he was like, you were dealing with me.

You were dad's number one awe.

He was my number one aw

of our childhood.

Love music theater.

He's like, she was like, dad, let me go find out if those hills are alive with music and I'll go dribble a ball.

They need me to sit off the table and get their hands steepled.

Like, here's what I'll give you.

I propose Wednesday night CYO basketball.

If you let me.

Mediocre production.

I think it was a pretty good production.

It's three hours long.

So I'll also go to Sunday school for confirmation.

Right.

Yeah.

She always added that into the mix, huh?

You got some stuff out of that.

What did you make him do to do?

Because he made you do catechism.

Yeah.

What did you get out of that?

You definitely swindled your eight.

I remember.

What did you do?

What did you do?

I got a milkshake from Cumby's.

Cumberland Farms.

Cumberland Farms.

You gotta say the whole name.

Cumby's is tough.

Cumberland Farms is like a

milk brand, but also like a

gas station.

Gas station, yeah.

Communion.

And like

the free reel ones,

you'd open these frozen things, put it in this machine, and you choose if you want it thick.

And so

the deal was if I didn't complain about

CCD Sunday school, I'd get a milkshake after.

Catechism is the

Sunday school, the lessons that you have to do in order to get confirmed, which is a step in Catholicism.

So it's baptism, first reconciliation, first

communion.

Then I think it's confirmation.

And then it's even years of Catholic Church.

Confirmation means you can get married in the Catholic Church.

Yes.

I forgot about that.

Yeah.

That was our dad's big thing.

He was like, just do it and I'll leave you alone.

Gavin, get it done.

Get it under your belt.

I'll leave you alone.

We're like, oh, except my big, like my biggest issue with

that Sunday school is that it cut into the amazing race on Sundays.

And I was pissed.

And I was mostly pissed because I was like, fine I'll go to it but I got to get to amazing race because I love that show and then our lovely family friends and father would drive us home the slowest

safest driver you've ever met oh my god I was late for amazing race for several Sundays in a row and it was not okay with me I'm glad I did it for dad he did something that was important to him I really wanted that other middle name And I got that because with confirmation, you get like a saint name.

You pick a saint.

You have a middle name.

So that would make us, that would tally us up to three names each.

Sometimes I introduce myself with it.

Right.

Wow.

It's fun.

So it was worth it in the end.

Yeah, for the milkshakes and the extra name.

That's what she got out of it.

Good on you.

My confirmation name.

Oh, this is my Russian face.

You're what?

You're what?

I call it my Russian faith, but I was really just watching Nikita, which was like the spy show.

Okay, great.

It was a really gross spy show.

I never watched that one.

And one of the characters, her name was like Alexandra.

And so that's what I picked.

Alexandra.

Yeah.

But you had to learn all about the saint who had that.

And actually, it worked out really well.

That's a great saint.

She was fighting for people's like

religious rights to like have different religions.

Wow.

And I was like, wow.

Yeah, good for you.

Yeah.

Saint Alexandra of Rome.

Good on you.

What about you?

Oh, Maria.

That was going to be mine, actually, and then you took it.

Sorry.

Put a lot of thought into it, you can tell

Adrian.

Whoa.

for our opa yeah

and the adriana's namesake no

between training traveling and recording the show the mars are 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 i'm typically up and out the door quickly in the morning i have a lot to do and i like to document it every day so i rely on now brief with galaxy ai to sum up whatever i need wherever I am.

When I'm taking a selfie in front of a brand new coffee shop while I'm out and about, I don't want to spend a lot of time finessing the shot.

I want a photo that pops.

The portrait selfie feature adjusts skin tones and preserves natural textures, giving every shot a polished, professional look.

Let's say I'm out on the town with my friends on the weekend.

The camera on S25 Ultra makes sure my pictures are detailed, even if they're taken at night.

We're talking 200 megapixel camera for crazy clear shots and 50 megapixel ultra wide lens for stunning detail.

And with audio eraser, 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.

Displays daily select information from select apps.

Some apps may require internet connection and/or consent to access data.

Personal data intelligence must be enabled.

Audio Eraser is compatible with common video formats accessible in gallery, helps minimize six select sounds.

Results vary.

Galaxy AI features by Samsung are free through 2025 and require a Samsung account login.

We've been sisters for a while now, and we'd like to think we're pretty good at it.

So, if you need advice, send us a DM or voicemail at a house of Mar for a chance to be featured on the show.

Now, this is a listener submission from Anna T, and she says, To put it simply, my sister has no respect for our common areas, i.e., our bedroom or bathroom.

I've spoken to her on so many occasions about this issue, but she never listens to me or my parents.

I'm losing my mind over this and do not know how to resolve this issue.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

She also never does me any favors

with a you sounds British.

Low, immediate thoughts straight off the dome.

It's not a solid thought.

Okay.

Hey, Descotto.

Is it possible your sister's just not a good person?

Oh,

yeah.

How old is said sister too?

It seems I don't want to say that, but like.

That's really tough.

Yeah.

If you've spoken to her on many occasions and have, and

she isn't listening to you or your parents, that's really tough.

But again, I don't know what she's

going through.

That's hard for you.

I'm sorry, Anna.

But great for you for advocating for yourself.

Yeah, continue to do that.

She says, she never does me any favors.

Is that possible that you just have very different love languages?

Ooh.

You maybe are more acts of service.

You want that.

Yeah.

Your sister is

time, maybe, or something, something, or words of affirmation or something like that.

I mean, I think that could be interesting to get to know like her on that level.

Yeah, like to you, to her, maybe it's acts of service.

Like, she keeps things clean because that's how she feels love, but her sister doesn't do that back for her.

Whereas her sister likes, you know, quality time.

So she's playing music and she's like, come hang out.

But she doesn't like the loud music.

So they're not seeing each other eye to eye.

I've had friends who've like, it's a roommate situation for them of like they've expressed so many times but just levels of cleanliness is so different

of like for them they think it's so normal yeah of they're like yeah I like wipe a little bit but I'm not deep cleaning but for the other person it's like it's deep clean or nothing right and so I think that should also be taken into consideration yeah and so I

would like to know like what the sister has said back when Anna brings this up.

Interesting.

Yeah.

Is she being likely?

Yeah.

Or is she just disregarding?

Interesting, yeah.

That's a tricky situation.

That is tricky.

But like, sharing space is not easy.

It's not easy.

Share a bedroom.

In India.

Yeah.

We only did that for a little bit.

We had bunk beds way back in the day.

And a party.

Party.

We had each of our members of the backstreet boys.

Yeah, little posters up.

Either I'd be throwing a temperature or she would.

It was great.

Loved it.

John had her own bedroom because she was like a newborn or whatever.

Frick.

Sorry, guys.

VIP over there.

Right, right.

Yeah, Anna, that's really tough.

I don't know what to say.

Thankfully, like

community.

I think continue to communicate, though.

Yeah.

Hope maybe you'll make a breakthrough at some time.

Especially as you guys get older and you keep growing and you learn more about yourselves and your relationships to others and how what you do affects other people.

Maybe she will start to kind of come around.

Dang.

Maybe don't show her this.

Then she'll show you.

Don't show her tattle one for sure.

She's probably not that bad a person.

She just isn't listening.

We all approach things differently.

So it is, but it is tough to be patient all the time.

I feel like I'm a therapist on this couch talking about this.

I feel like an action that Anna could take, though, is in a way, it's not fun action, but you almost have to take care of it yourself.

There's times when I think if you want the room a certain way, maybe you have to tidy it up a certain way for you.

If your sister's not going to like for your own mental clarity and happiness,

it might take

knowing that it's not your mess.

Yeah, but she's the sister's not going to do it anyway.

Yeah.

So then either you live in this room that doesn't make you feel good, probably mentally, or you take control, which is making your sister kind of like your

enabler.

Yeah.

But also, is it for your own

personal well-being?

Right.

I hear you.

I kind of went to, this might be the younger sister and me,

take all of their mess and like put it in a pile, put it under their bed to be like, I told you to clean it up so I don't want it on their bed.

Tuck it in, put it under the covers.

And I think, like, that's making it known.

I don't know if I'd recommend it, but like.

It's such a sister thing to do.

Yeah, if, like,

if I was sharing a room with one of you guys and you guys had your mess everywhere and I got fed up, I could easily see myself like grabbing your towel that's on the floor, like grabbing all your makeup and just shoving it somewhere out of what the way.

Respectfully, but shoving it out of the way.

Not so respectfully, but

I think, Olivia, you clean up to make your spaces better for your own mind.

If we're in there,

you know, you make sure that it's true.

I'll delegate, though, and you guys do listen.

Like, if I'm saying, like, I'm losing my mind, this needs to be cleaned up.

Adriana's good at getting into action.

How about that?

Thank you.

I also know when to get out of your way.

Yeah.

Put on those headphones, and I'm like, I'm like, sit in the corner.

I'm not going to get up from this couch, actually.

I love when she gets her headphones on because that means she's going to start work.

She's going to get to work.

And I'm going to sit there.

She starts folding and cleaning.

She'll make a pasta.

She's in her mind palace.

I don't even correct her.

Yay.

I'm figuring out the secrets of life.

I just gotta lock in.

I'm always canceling headphones.

Love.

Try that.

Always canceling headphones and cleaning up her mess.

And that's it for Sister Settle it.
