Speaker 1: Call It What It Is with Jessica Capshaw and Camille Luddington,
Speaker 1: an iHeartRadio podcast. Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello everyone, and welcome
Speaker 1: to another episode of.
Speaker 2: Shut Short, Every Sweet.
Speaker 1: This is about lastraw's.
Speaker 2: When is a lastraw? And listen.
Speaker 1: It is the holiday season and I think that oftentimes
Speaker 1: the last straw kind of lands at this you've had
Speaker 1: it or at leased with the Luddington's. The Lutdingtons love
Speaker 1: alastraw at Christmas. It's like we have turkey and a
Speaker 1: cide mac and cheese and a side of whatever and
Speaker 1: a side of the.
Speaker 2: Lastra Yeah, I've had it. I'm done.
Speaker 1: Okay, the call We're going to dive straight in because
Speaker 1: the call It crew have sent us submission. Okay.
Speaker 3: By the way, I just want to say, well, I
Speaker 3: was gonna say I do feel like I've evolved a
Speaker 3: bit because I used to like, for me, a lost
Speaker 3: straw would be you know, when you're having just one
Speaker 3: of those really challenging mornings where just everything seems to
Speaker 3: be going wrong, like you're alarm does and go off,
Speaker 3: you sleep.
Speaker 2: Through it, you wake up, you don't have clean underwear.
Speaker 2: You then go like all the things are just going wrong,
Speaker 2: going going wrong, going wrong, and then it culminates and
Speaker 2: you get into your car and you split your coffee
Speaker 2: all over yourself and you're like yeah, and it's just
Speaker 2: all over. And I've gotten better at that because I
Speaker 2: have the moment where I'm like, this is it? Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I calm the entertainments and I say, just wait
Speaker 2: a minute, this is not it. It will never be it.
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a breath, we're gonna collect ourselves, and
Speaker 2: we're gonna keep going.
Speaker 1: I have to say I'm good until unless my last
Speaker 1: straw ends up being a toe stub, a physical toe
Speaker 1: stub will always be my last straw. And it happens
Speaker 1: often to me. I feel like, if things are going wrong,
Speaker 1: my toe is like I'm going to go this way,
Speaker 1: run into that corner, and and it is refect. But
Speaker 1: it happens.
Speaker 2: It happens enough for me.
Speaker 1: You know, Listen, if if your day's going badly and
Speaker 1: then you stub your toe, you tell me that's not
Speaker 1: your last straw. If you can survive that, Jess, you're
Speaker 1: you're on You're on the next level. You're you're revolved
Speaker 1: as a human being, as an entity.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to.
Speaker 1: Get into the into the Colic crew talking about their
Speaker 1: last straws. So Mary and Sally have written us and
Speaker 1: they said, we both work at the same retail store,
Speaker 1: and on Black Friday this year, they had us steaming
Speaker 1: so many clothes, so many and eventually the steamer got
Speaker 1: got as tired as us and exploded all over the place.
Speaker 1: It burned Sally's arms and my chest. Safe to say,
Speaker 1: we quit real quick because I.
Speaker 2: Was the last straw.
Speaker 1: That was their last straw. I mean, if you first off,
Speaker 1: I hated working retail. I quit the first day of
Speaker 1: the job.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 1: I hated it more than waiting tables.
Speaker 2: I was to say. I never did do retail. I
Speaker 2: only did service.
Speaker 1: You're missing out on hell, seriously. And so if I
Speaker 1: got burned in retail, hold.
Speaker 2: Done, done done, just walking out right, it's over, yep.
Speaker 2: I would I would, I would have. I would agree
Speaker 2: with you. Yeah, all right. So Jenny wrote in and said,
Speaker 2: my last straw was the head chef I work for,
Speaker 2: telling me, oh boy, oh god, the woman's place is
Speaker 2: at the sink, not cooking. And this was after I
Speaker 2: caught the head chef doing drugs on the countertop where
Speaker 2: we all prepared food. And after I informed the owner
Speaker 2: of the restaurant about all of this, to which she
Speaker 2: did nothing because they were both sleeping together. Astro. I mean,
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you that there's so many cliches in
Speaker 2: this little, this little don't you always hear that, like
Speaker 2: head chefs are, chefs are angry, and chefs do drugs,
Speaker 2: and chefs are sleeping with everyone. Well, I mean, have
Speaker 2: you watched The Bear? Yeah yeah, yeah, But I'm this
Speaker 2: is you think it really is all just true? Like
Speaker 2: that's like, now I'm gonna look at chefs.
Speaker 1: I've known some. I've known some chefs that have been
Speaker 1: sleeping with some some peeps, and I thought.
Speaker 2: That like chefing was a sexy like getting you to.
Speaker 1: You're wrong, You're wrong, because here's the thing. You got
Speaker 1: to imagine this, right, you're a waitress. You're going you're like, god,
Speaker 1: those people out there, and he's like, guess what, I
Speaker 1: just made those fries on the fly for you because
Speaker 1: you forgot to put them in. And you're like, whoa,
Speaker 1: you just saved me. You just saved my tip. He's like,
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Like there are situations where the chef has control.
Speaker 2: You got saved by fries.
Speaker 1: No, this is what I'm saying. This is the situation
Speaker 1: that's never happened to me.
Speaker 2: Usually you're really good at these hypotheticals on the fly,
Speaker 2: So I was waiting for no, no, no, I'm just saying, like, listen,
Speaker 2: I will tell you that if you've ever forgotten to
Speaker 2: ring in a food order, and that chef can make
Speaker 2: something on the flight to make it look like you.
Speaker 2: I feel like this is a real life example.
Speaker 1: Well, this is a real life example. Didn't end up
Speaker 1: ahead chef was No, I did not bone the head chef.
Speaker 2: You did. You went to bone town with someone who
Speaker 2: put in an order for fries and saved your butt.
Speaker 4: It was too specific a lamp. I'm sorry you've been gotten.
Speaker 4: Are you saying that I slept with a head chef
Speaker 4: of on the fly? I'm saying, yes, Listen, Bob and
Speaker 4: I had a Oh, Bob, we had a connection. Don't
Speaker 4: worry about it, Jess. The point is it's good of happen.
Speaker 1: Jeff, Great, Sharon. My last straw was over the past
Speaker 1: few years. I was really close to a guy friend.
Speaker 1: We called each other brother and sister for ten years,
Speaker 1: and his family was mine. He got married and instead
Speaker 1: of asking me to be in his wedding on his side,
Speaker 1: he asked a guy he knew for two years. I
Speaker 1: found out that he didn't want to what.
Speaker 2: Oh what?
Speaker 1: I found out that he didn't want me in a
Speaker 1: tuxt because he didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable. I
Speaker 1: dropped that friendship.
Speaker 2: M Yeah, I don't like Sharon. Sharon.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Sharon was going to look too hot in
Speaker 1: the tucks and show him up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're gonna outshine him. Yeah, it's a jerk.
Speaker 2: Call him a jerk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just petty.
Speaker 2: I don't like that. Nope, I don't like that either.
Speaker 2: Cheryl says, I'd like to get your perspective on this
Speaker 2: last straw situation. A twenty five plus year friendship ended
Speaker 2: because I couldn't fully attend my friend's son's first communion.
Speaker 2: My daughter had a basketball game and I told her
Speaker 2: i'd come right after, which I did. My husband also
Speaker 2: couldn't attend because he's working a side job after losing
Speaker 2: his job, which my friend knew about. I gave her
Speaker 2: a heads up through text, but she cursed me out
Speaker 2: and hasn't spoken to me since. I was still invited
Speaker 2: with my three daughters to attend the gathering, and she
Speaker 2: spoke to me. Then I realized that I was cut
Speaker 2: off after texting her to wish her happy birthday. Now
Speaker 2: it's awkward when we see her and her kids. Her
Speaker 2: eldest is my goddaughter, and my eldest is hers. Her
Speaker 2: son won't even say hi to me or my husband anymore.
Speaker 2: Would love your thoughts this as bullshit? Yeah, I feel
Speaker 2: like something else is going on. I can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because listen, I had my first communion. I barely
Speaker 1: remember it. I mean, it's not it's not a wedding day.
Speaker 2: Although you are wearing a teeny tiny little wedding dress. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's talk about that. Well you're getting married.
Speaker 1: Well, I listen, I don't. It's fine. Life happens. If
Speaker 1: you have a friend that can't handle the fact that
Speaker 1: your life also happens at the same time as theirs does,
Speaker 1: then but I agree, I think, but you know what,
Speaker 1: it was the last straw. You're right, there are odds there.
Speaker 1: We need to know the other straws.
Speaker 2: Yeah, something something, something's going on here. I mean, because
Speaker 2: if that's that's it, then that's I'm sorry. I think
Speaker 2: that's a little bit of an ever reaction. No, yeah,
Speaker 2: talk it out. I would.
Speaker 3: I would.
Speaker 2: I would go in with an attempt to talk it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the first thing you say is what the
Speaker 1: hell is wrong with you?
Speaker 2: Well, that's what Camilla would say. I would be like, hmmm, hmmm.
Speaker 1: Actually the hm is worse than me saying what the
Speaker 1: hell is wrong with you? If you call me so
Speaker 1: what the hell is wrong and you're like, oh, if
Speaker 1: you want, hey, Camilla, I'd be like literally pooping my pants.
Speaker 1: I'd like, oh my god, something terrible. I've done something
Speaker 1: really bad, really bad, really bad.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, talk to me about Alice Alis said.
Speaker 1: My last straw in my friendship was when I was
Speaker 1: in hospital about to undergo surgery. My friend kept calling
Speaker 1: and texting me frantically about sending through a recording for
Speaker 1: a group project, telling me how unorganized and awful I was,
Speaker 1: even though I had already emailed the teacher and she
Speaker 1: was fine with it. I felt so disrespected. Major last straw. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a big last straw. I feel kind of stupid
Speaker 1: a little bit because I said my last straw was
Speaker 1: a toe stub, and everyone's last straws are way more
Speaker 1: dat straws. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's absurd and I agree. Yeah,
Speaker 1: these are not these are not great.
Speaker 2: No, I think these are like even bigger than.
Speaker 1: Than a last straw.
Speaker 2: It's a last like log, it's the last, Yeah, the
Speaker 2: last stalk.
Speaker 1: It's a bigger straw. Like, what's bigger than a straw?
Speaker 2: It's a tree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a last tree. Okay.
Speaker 2: Sarah wrote in and said, my last straw that made
Speaker 2: me and my relationship was my ex continued allowing his
Speaker 2: mom to get involved in our reallylationship. Even after multiple conversations,
Speaker 2: his parents would randomly appear at our date nights. What
Speaker 2: we couldn't hang out on our own without him involving
Speaker 2: his parents. The final straw was him lying to me
Speaker 2: about not being able to have date night because he
Speaker 2: was rained in at his house when it was only sprinkling,
Speaker 2: to later find out his mom was there and didn't
Speaker 2: want him to leave the house. So weird rained in
Speaker 2: at your house. I'm sorry, I can't come. I mean
Speaker 2: it would have to just I'm sorry. I just thoughts
Speaker 2: raining a little bit and I can't come.
Speaker 1: It would have to be severe rain, Like I'm really worried.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sprinkle, no, no, no, not sprinkling. Yeah, that would
Speaker 2: be a last straw. I think that you well, the
Speaker 2: last straw is lying almost you know, lying is definitely
Speaker 2: gonna lie.
Speaker 1: Is gonna be always a last straw, the final Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not good. I don't you know what? And I'm
Speaker 1: not so sure about the whole, Like why are your
Speaker 1: parents randomly appearing at your date nights? Why do they
Speaker 1: even know where you're going? Like I'm not texting Martin
Speaker 1: Luddington and letting going hdding up Chili's in an hour?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: By the way, because he would come, That's true, he
Speaker 1: would show up, which is what I would tell him.
Speaker 1: I can't enjoy it.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 1: But why you've been telling them where you're going? Maybe
Speaker 1: they have his location?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they shared locations. That's the thing. Do you share
Speaker 2: your location with people?
Speaker 1: I recently, recently, when me and you were somewhere, oh,
Speaker 1: when we went to Palm Beach, I shared my location
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 2: And then I took you away, Like why you were
Speaker 2: looking a little cause I did something to you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was worried. I knew I was looking too
Speaker 1: good that week, and I'm like, I don't trust her.
Speaker 1: I would glow close this week. I don't know what
Speaker 1: she might do take advantage of the club. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: well carry on, Charlot said. Charlotte said, My last straw
Speaker 1: was getting into a car accident, not my fault, and
Speaker 1: my girlfriend's first sentence being my fucking car immediately went
Speaker 1: home and packed my bags with excruciating whiplash.
Speaker 2: Can't be the first thing, is no, Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 1: Obviously at some point you're gonna say, how's the car?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but you know you gotta time that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Well I think there also had to have been other
Speaker 2: behavior that made this the last straw.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what did the last straw. That's what the
Speaker 1: last straw is. We're not saying it's the first straw,
Speaker 1: the only straw.
Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, sorry I didn't Yeah, that's the whole point
Speaker 2: of this, Jess, So sorry, so sorry. I'm still clought
Speaker 2: on you sent Matt Yourn. When I'm with you, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've turned it off.
Speaker 1: I've turned it off since I got back, and if
Speaker 1: we're together, even just sometimes in the podcast, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I gotta turn it on.
Speaker 2: I'm in the next room. But you never know, capable.
Speaker 1: Of this girl is so powerful she sucked through the
Speaker 1: screen like Poulter. Guys, Okay, I'm so stupid. Go on,
Speaker 1: you gotta read Phoebe last straw.
Speaker 2: Phoebe wrote in and said, my last straw was my
Speaker 2: friend of ten years missing my birthday for the sixth time.
Speaker 2: The kicker is he told me he was too sick
Speaker 2: to come to my birthday, and then I found out
Speaker 2: he was out partying with some newer friends he met
Speaker 2: because someone on his Instagram close Friends story screenshot at
Speaker 2: his post and sent it to me. So not only
Speaker 2: did he miss my day, he lied as well.
Speaker 1: Gross, I mean six times in a row.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he only made four of the ten years that
Speaker 2: you were friends.
Speaker 1: That's annoying, yea, yeah, yeah yeah, that's where.
Speaker 2: By the way, all that social media can really bite
Speaker 2: you on the butt. Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm also dumb.
Speaker 2: And by the way, why weren't you on his close
Speaker 2: friends if he's posting it to Instagram, didn't you know
Speaker 2: you would?
Speaker 1: Sku. You can go in and you can edit that.
Speaker 1: You can figure out who's the not close friend.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't like that?
Speaker 1: No, No, okay, Nicholas, last one from the crew, last
Speaker 1: final straw, my last straw was when I was asked
Speaker 1: by my best friend since childhood to do a guys
Speaker 1: trip on a cruise, so I went with him without
Speaker 1: my fiance. Well, he basically ditched me the entire cruise,
Speaker 1: drank heavily every night, and ended up having a boat mance.
Speaker 1: I've never heard that with a married woman twice his age.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't comment on anyone's appearance. However, the woman he
Speaker 1: slept with on the cruise was missing.
Speaker 2: Oh stop, Whenever you say I shouldn't comment on anyone's
Speaker 2: appearance and then you continue, here we go.
Speaker 1: I know, but here we go, going in he's missing.
Speaker 1: Up front two she had tattoos across her chest and
Speaker 1: had leather skin due to sun damage. I thought you
Speaker 1: were going to comment. Up, were going to comment, He's like,
Speaker 1: but here's my list. Mind you My friend is thirty
Speaker 1: two years old. She had to have been sixty. I
Speaker 1: basically was on this cruise alone and he was nowhere
Speaker 1: to be found. It was so rude and a waste
Speaker 1: of money. Okay, before we get into this, you know
Speaker 1: what this is. This is consensual, right and the aged
Speaker 1: the sixty year old you know what? I don't know
Speaker 1: what she looked like to you, but she was having
Speaker 1: her fun. The last straw is that you got ditched.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: It does sound like your friend's clearly going through something.
Speaker 1: He's drinking every day, so there's you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got ditched. Well, so it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: when you get asked to do something and it's very specific,
Speaker 2: like's do the guy's trip and so that the friend
Speaker 2: doesn't bring the girlfriend, and then this happens, it's like
Speaker 2: it's the last straw.
Speaker 1: It's hard when you want a cruise too, because there's
Speaker 1: nowhere to go. You're gonna go, Yeah, there's nowhere unless
Speaker 1: I stop at a port.
Speaker 2: So if I went on a cruise with you, would
Speaker 2: you need to share your location with that?
Speaker 1: I would always share it. I would always, honestly, even
Speaker 1: if there was nowhere to go, like you could only
Speaker 1: be up when I just come over to the house,
Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm going from the living room.
Speaker 2: I know something new about you know. I just don't
Speaker 2: know if I can unring this. You can't. You cannot
Speaker 2: ring it. It is what it is, you guys.
Speaker 1: I love it. I hope that you guys don't have
Speaker 1: many last straws. This holiday season. May the last straws
Speaker 1: be but be non existent this day, the last straws
Speaker 1: be in a beverage of your choice eggs. Jessica Capshaw,
Speaker 1: your first copy, write it.
Speaker 2: Make a T shirt, make a hat. I like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, I love it. I love it when we do
Speaker 1: these short Do you hear my dogs marking?
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 1: Actually, Okay, I love this. I do love a short
Speaker 1: and sweet. I love getting to hear from the crew.
Speaker 1: Their stories are always you know what, they you never know.
Speaker 1: They surprise us every time. They're all different, but I
Speaker 1: love hearing their their finals, their last straws. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're all very different too, and they were big the
Speaker 1: toe stub. I should not have started.
Speaker 2: With no, It's okay. You got to have a starting point,
Speaker 2: and you know what, there's no bad answer. We're all just,
Speaker 2: you know, fre to free to have our feelings. I'd
Speaker 2: like to on our next short and suite, I'm just
Speaker 2: throwing it out there. We can, you know, do with
Speaker 2: what you will. I'd like to talk about the no.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about side parts versus middle parts.
Speaker 2: I do want to talk about that. I want to
Speaker 2: talk about that. I don't care about the whole skinny
Speaker 2: jeans versus other jeens. I do care because I don't
Speaker 2: need a scae gean coming back. No, I don't. I
Speaker 2: don't really either, but I care less about it than
Speaker 2: I care about the side part versus middle part.
Speaker 1: So let's hear from the crew. We'll throw it out now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about a side part versus a
Speaker 1: middle part? And what are things that you have been
Speaker 1: told are out but you don't care about and will
Speaker 1: always be in for you?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Because, by the way, I'm noticing because I do
Speaker 2: like a side part. I do, and I was. I've
Speaker 2: trained myself against it now because you know it's not cool.
Speaker 2: And that someone I don't know, I think I young
Speaker 2: said they're disgusting. Side parts are disgusting. How can the
Speaker 2: side part be discussed widely? Is rocking a side part
Speaker 2: every single red carpet? See you complete me? I was
Speaker 2: going to say. I see Blake Lively rocking a side
Speaker 2: part all the time, literally all the time. Literally, Never
Speaker 2: do I see her with the middle part. I see
Speaker 2: her just with a tossled side part. Loveliness, Lively, loveliness. So, anyways,
Speaker 2: do you stay true to who you are and keep
Speaker 2: your hairdo the way that you want to do. Make
Speaker 2: this so deep? Do you stay you have? It's part
Speaker 2: of your identity?
Speaker 1: BN.
Speaker 2: Do you go with the trends and middle part it

Speaker 1: place and we had our sleepover and my location was
