[00:13:05] May decide I've accidentally read the wrong word. Yeah, and we're just gonna go with it. We're not gonna change things
[00:13:11] No, no, it'll just be what the word is from now on. Yeah
[00:13:15] and I previously read a book and
[00:13:19] The woman asked her friend was she going in Halle's but I thought she asked her was she going to Helsinki?
[00:13:24] And it was a much better experience
[00:13:25] So much more interesting question. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm
[00:13:32] I'm kind of reading about about Henry from Russia
[00:13:35] I just wanted to just be interested there about and from West Coast Russia Kaling Kaling grad

[00:14:06] It girl who's cut off from our wealthy family and exiled to a small Pacific Northwest Beach town

[00:14:13] America. Yeah, you can check out comments there as well. Yes, I'm
[00:14:19] Where she but heads she but heads and probably more body parts
[00:14:24] That's where it but spots as well with a surly sexy local who thinks she doesn't belong
[00:14:30] Now this is America. Remember this could be some casual racism turning up within that
[00:14:35] Oh Jesus, what's her name Piper Bellinger is a fashionable and influential and her reputation
[00:14:42] She is both of those things and a reputation as a wild child means the paparazzi are constantly on our heels. Oh, Jesus
[00:14:48] Okay, just a quick
[00:14:51] We've read part of another book
[00:14:53] I'm just putting in a warning
[00:14:55] This person could very well be the most famous person like
[00:15:00] Taylor Swift times 10. Yeah, yeah
[00:15:02] than anyone would ever
[00:15:04] Think a real person could be the daughter of a pop band who was briefly famous in the 80s
[00:15:12] Was the most famous person in her last book? Yeah, so yeah
[00:15:16] Rich celebrity in Hollywood is gonna be 10 times bigger than that
[00:15:20] um
[00:15:22] When too much champagne and an out of control rooftop party lands Piper in the slammer
[00:15:28] Oh
[00:15:29] Her stepfather decides enough is enough so he cuts her off and sends her and her sister to learn some responsibility
[00:15:35] Running their late father's dive bar in
[00:15:39] Westport, Washington that's shit whole
[00:15:43] Again Westport is in male. Yeah. Yeah in Ireland
[00:15:47] Piper hasn't been to Westport five minutes when she meets big bearded C captain honestly was gonna say six captain
[00:15:55] Plus C C C captain
[00:15:58] Brandon Tiger
[00:16:00] I will attempt the odd accent. Yeah, you've got to do the voices. Yeah, uh, we will be switching
[00:16:07] chapters
[00:16:08] Yeah
[00:16:11] Who thinks she won't that's a week outside of Beverly Hills, but so what if so what if Piper can't do math?
[00:16:17] What dear
[00:16:19] And the idea of sleeping in a Chevy apartment with bunk beds gives her hives
[00:16:23] I thought you said mashers and the person
[00:16:27] So what if she won't sleep at math? No, Matt
[00:16:31] Mathematics
[00:16:32] Cool
[00:16:33] Uh, how bad could it really be she's determined to show her stepfather and a hot grumpy local
[00:16:38] The cheese more than just a pretty face except it's a small town and everywhere she turns she bumps into Brandon
[00:16:44] The fun loving social item the gruff fishermen or polar opposites
[00:16:47] But there's an undeniable attraction simmering between them. Piper doesn't want any distraction
[00:16:52] Especially feelings for a man who sails off into a sunset for weeks at a time
[00:16:57] Yet as she reconnects with her past and begins to feel at home at westport
[00:17:00] Piper starts to wonder if the cold glamorous life she knew is what she truly wants
[00:17:05] LA is calling her name, but Brendan and his town full of memories may have already caught her heart heart
[00:17:13] One of our good friends is called Brendan. I choose to imagine him
[00:17:17] This is this is rose and Brendan
[00:17:21] The front of it is very similar to rose and Brendan
[00:17:24] That will get uncomfortable very quickly. Well, but yeah, this could get saucy
[00:17:29] Yes
[00:17:32] Yeah, so we got scared it wasn't yeah, um, so yeah a lot of warnings
[00:17:38] Lou rock has joined

[00:18:43] We're going to title the chapters by the first sentence. Yes. Yes. Whatever that is
[00:18:49] Hopefully leave us on so chapter one
[00:18:52] The unthinkable was happening
[00:18:54] That's a good that isn't actually bad. Yeah
[00:18:57] for a title
[00:18:59] The unthinkable was happening
[00:19:01] Our longest relationship on record over in the blink of the of an eye
[00:19:07] Over in the blink of an eye
[00:19:10] Three weeks of her life wasted
[00:19:15] Uh Piper bellinger looked down at her lipstick red one shoulder Valentino cocktail dress
[00:19:26] Uh, okay, let me see where are we one shoulder
[00:19:30] Valentino cocktail dress and tried to find the flaw but came up with nothing
[00:19:33] Her tastefully tanned legs were polished to such a shine. She
[00:19:39] She'd checked her teeth in the mirror
[00:19:42] No, no
[00:19:43] Uh, what? Jesus. She's in her legs. Yeah
[00:19:49] Wonder why he left her we're all checking
[00:19:52] Is that what she's a flexible lady
[00:19:55] I in my no in my mind she's standing up and she's just a door hunched over like a like a name like a small n
[00:20:03] um
[00:20:04] Nothing appeared to miss up top either
[00:20:09] No, um
[00:20:11] The brain she'd swiped the tape holding up her boobs. Whoa. Whoa
[00:20:17] Um
[00:20:21] Her her boobs
[00:20:22] Where are they? Yeah, they're there while the back state at a runway show in Milan during fashion week
[00:20:27] We're talking the holy. Oh god. Yeah, it could get raunchy. All right. Sorry
[00:20:34] We're talking the holy grail of tip tape
[00:20:37] to tape
[00:20:39] And those particularly run to you know, no but tit, you know or we're
[00:20:46] I'm just even mornings beepers here beside us and topper her cats. Um
[00:20:52] And those puppies run point
[00:20:56] Big enough to draw a man's eye Jesus small enough to achieve an athletic vibe in every fort instagram post
[00:21:03] I think that's a good combination
[00:21:06] Lara Croft
[00:21:08] I think that's yes
[00:21:10] Uh versatility kept versatility kept people interested. I've never heard foods described as versatile, but I'm gonna use that now
[00:21:20] I'm gonna compliment a lot of women and only fans
[00:21:24] My versatility
[00:21:27] I
[00:21:28] I'm satisfied that nothing concerning her appearance was glaring out of place
[00:21:31] Piper trailed her gaze up the pleated leg of adrians classic tomford suit
[00:21:37] Uh made of the finest shark skin wool unable to quell a sigh over luxurious pica pells and monogrammed buttons
[00:21:45] The way her boyfriend
[00:21:48] Impatently checked his cupired watch
[00:21:51] Choppered whoever cup hard
[00:21:53] and scanned the crowd over her shoulder on the edit to the board playboy effect.
[00:21:58] Oh wonderful. Yeah I love that yeah.
[00:22:01] Love you know today I said there's a fellow bored.
[00:22:05] Hadn't his cold unattainability attracted her to him in the first place?
[00:22:09] I have a suspicion. He doesn't know they're gone out.
[00:22:16] She's just been hanging around for three weeks.
[00:22:20] God the night of their first meeting seemed like a hundred years ago.
[00:22:23] It was three weeks ago.
[00:22:25] She'd had at least two facials since then right?
[00:22:29] Right okay.
[00:22:31] Is that good? That's how I mark my time also.
[00:22:33] Is that good? Would that be good?
[00:22:35] Week and a half between facials?
[00:22:38] Yeah I mean I guess if you're very particular about your idea.
[00:22:42] If you're in Hollywood you'd want to make a video.
[00:22:43] Yeah that's true actually you'd want them every...
[00:22:45] So she's lazy.
[00:22:46] Is that what she's doing?
[00:22:50] That she only has had two in three weeks?
[00:22:52] Ten days. She's manky.
[00:22:56] Like that's the same as showering.
[00:22:58] Do you know what I mean?
[00:23:00] Maybe like dirty.
[00:23:03] That's dirty pipe work.
[00:23:04] No wonder he's bored of it.
[00:23:09] What?
[00:23:10] Oh God.
[00:23:11] God okay I'll go back there for a second.
[00:23:14] God the night of their first meeting seemed like a hundred years ago.
[00:23:16] She'd had at least two facials since then right?
[00:23:19] What was time anymore?
[00:23:22] Yeah.
[00:23:24] Piper could remember their introduction like it was yesterday.
[00:23:27] Adrien had saved her from stepping in vomit at Rumer Wills's birthday party.
[00:23:32] As she'd stared up at his chisel chain from her place in his arms.
[00:23:36] She'd been transported to old Hollywood.
[00:23:39] The time of smoking jackets and women trading.
[00:23:41] She'd been looting around in long feathered robes.
[00:23:43] It was the beginning of her own classic love story.
[00:23:46] And now the credits were rolling.
[00:23:49] Why is she convinced it's ending?
[00:23:51] Because he's bored of shit.
[00:23:55] I can't believe you're throwing it all away like this.
[00:23:58] I apologize for this.
[00:23:59] Oh okay they're mid-breakup.
[00:24:00] Jeez what a way to start a book.
[00:24:01] Yeah pipe or whispered.
[00:24:03] Pressing her champagne tube between her breasts.
[00:24:09] Classic movie.
[00:24:11] I can't believe you're breaking up with me.
[00:24:14] Look at these.
[00:24:19] Okay maybe drawing his attention there could change his mind.
[00:24:23] Oh really?
[00:24:24] I know what it's like to be a woman.
[00:24:27] We've been through so much.
[00:24:30] Yeah tons right.
[00:24:33] It's been weeks.
[00:24:34] Oh Adrien.
[00:24:35] I'm sorry.
[00:24:38] Adrien waved at someone or crossed a roof top.
[00:24:40] He's not even looking at her.
[00:24:42] Crossed a roof top.
[00:24:44] He's...
[00:24:45] Scaring off the distance.
[00:24:47] Yeah loads of time.
[00:24:50] Anyway taxi is there.
[00:24:54] His expression letting whoever it was know
[00:24:56] that he'd be right with them.
[00:25:00] Oh no.
[00:25:02] That's sad.
[00:25:04] They'd come back to the black-white news.
[00:25:06] Yeah.
[00:25:06] And then the red party together.
[00:25:09] A minor soiree to raise money for an indie movie project called
[00:25:13] Lifestyles of the oppressed and famous.
[00:25:16] Gosh.
[00:25:18] At least to be fair this is all fairly tongue in cheek.
[00:25:22] Yeah.
[00:25:23] Maybe that is a spoof as well.
[00:25:24] Yeah I'd say it is.
[00:25:26] The writer director was a friend of Adrian's
[00:25:28] meaning most of the people at his gathering
[00:25:30] of LA elites or his acquaintances.
[00:25:34] Her girls weren't even there
[00:25:35] to console her or facilitate a graceful exit.
[00:25:39] Adrian Jesus.
[00:25:40] He brought her along to like
[00:25:42] a big party.
[00:25:43] Him and his buddies' party and his like so we're done.
[00:25:46] Yeah he couldn't
[00:25:47] put any of that before him.
[00:25:49] No.
[00:25:50] Adrian's attention settled back down her reluctantly.
[00:25:53] God.
[00:25:55] Piper this is for the best.
[00:25:56] Don't feel bad.
[00:25:57] Get rid of them.
[00:25:59] Wait what were you saying?
[00:26:01] Oh my no.
[00:26:03] Piper
[00:26:03] smile felt brittle.
[00:26:06] Oh shit Piper.
[00:26:08] Why is he smiling at him?
[00:26:10] She actually showed the cake in between her boobs at this point.
[00:26:13] Begging him to look.
[00:26:16] Piper smile felt brittle
[00:26:17] so she turned it up another watt.
[00:26:19] Why?
[00:26:20] Careful to keep it at one crucial
[00:26:22] notch below manic.
[00:26:24] Kin up woman.
[00:26:26] This wasn't her first breakup right?
[00:26:28] She'd done a lot of the dumping often
[00:26:30] unexpectedly.
[00:26:31] This is a town of whims after all.
[00:26:33] She'd never really noticed the pace of how things changed
[00:26:35] not until lately.
[00:26:37] At 28, Piper
[00:26:40] Piper was not old
[00:26:41] but she was one of the oldest women at this party
[00:26:43] and I would get out of there.
[00:26:47] At every
[00:26:48] party she'd been to recently come to Tinkerut
[00:26:53] where are we now?
[00:26:55] Tinkerut leaning on the
[00:26:56] grass railing that overlooked Melrose
[00:26:58] was an up and coming pop star who couldn't be a day
[00:27:00] older than 19.
[00:27:02] She didn't need tape from Melanne to hold
[00:27:04] up her tits.
[00:27:06] Oh jealous Piper.
[00:27:07] They were light and springy with nipples that reminded
[00:27:09] Piper of the bottom of an ice cream cone.
[00:27:12] They get soggy
[00:27:17] don't they?
[00:27:18] Yeah they do.
[00:27:19] Sorry I know I'm too old
[00:27:20] anyway but I don't want some 19 year old
[00:27:22] dude soggy boobs on her.
[00:27:27] That's just not
[00:27:28] no that's not great.
[00:27:30] Pretty sod monsters
[00:27:31] It's not a great image
[00:27:33] to bring up.
[00:27:36] The host himself was 22
[00:27:39] I should have put in some
[00:27:41] pointers
[00:27:42] big pointers get it
[00:27:43] The host himself was 22
[00:27:46] and embarking on a film career
[00:27:47] this was Piper's career, partying
[00:27:49] being seen
[00:27:51] holding up the occasional teapottening product
[00:27:53] and getting a few dollars first
[00:27:55] Not that she needed money at least
[00:27:57] oh no at least she didn't think so
[00:27:59] Everything she owned came from the swipe of a credit card
[00:28:01] and it was a mystery what happened after that
[00:28:03] She can't do maths
[00:28:04] Oh yeah
[00:28:08] She assumed the bill went to her stepfather's email or something
[00:28:11] Hopefully he wouldn't be weird about the
[00:28:13] crotchless panties she'd ordered from Paris
[00:28:17] Piper hello
[00:28:19] Adrian swiped a hand in front of her face
[00:28:20] and she realized how long she'd been staring at the pop star
[00:28:23] long enough that the songstress was glaring back
[00:28:26] maybe like the best
[00:28:28] did the reef
[00:28:29] did the reef
[00:28:31] Piper smiled and waved at the girl
[00:28:33] pointing sheepishly at her
[00:28:35] glass of champagne for turning back
[00:28:37] into the conversation
[00:28:38] Now was she pointing at her own
[00:28:41] champagne glass
[00:28:43] or the 19 year old's one
[00:28:45] I'd say her own to be like oh I better
[00:28:47] get another one of these or something
[00:28:49] because I would think if I'm the girl then
[00:28:51] the 19 year old
[00:28:53] she asking me for a drink
[00:28:56] okay yeah
[00:28:57] yeah
[00:28:57] I was thinking she was trying to use that as an excuse of like
[00:29:01] oh I need to look away now
[00:29:03] because like
[00:29:04] I need a drink
[00:29:07] conversation with Adrian
[00:29:10] Is this because I casually brought you up to my therapist
[00:29:12] we didn't go in depth or anything I promise
[00:29:14] most of the time it's just
[00:29:17] we just
[00:29:18] what
[00:29:20] okay sorry
[00:29:22] this is Adrian again
[00:29:24] is this because I
[00:29:25] wait is it Adrian?
[00:29:27] yeah
[00:29:29] okay
[00:29:32] oh no
[00:29:33] okay no no no it's
[00:29:34] it's a bit confusing but I think it might be her
[00:29:37] it's gonna make it better
[00:29:38] it's just because I casually brought you up
[00:29:41] that's that's our voice now
[00:29:42] is this because I casually brought
[00:29:45] you up to my therapist
[00:29:46] we didn't go in depth or anything
[00:29:48] I promise
[00:29:49] most of the time we just nap
[00:29:51] during my appointments
[00:29:54] me and my therapist nap
[00:29:55] together
[00:29:59] um
[00:30:00] no
[00:30:02] it can be helpful
[00:30:04] sometimes you just need to go to sleep
[00:30:05] with someone
[00:30:06] they don't nap sexually
[00:30:09] so are you okay with me napping
[00:30:12] every night of the week
[00:30:14] you're at home minding
[00:30:17] going out napping some young one
[00:30:19] to be honest it's just
[00:30:20] a flagrant waste of money
[00:30:22] it is a bit yeah
[00:30:25] so they didn't say they cuddled
[00:30:27] they could nap on it
[00:30:27] how do you nap without cuddling with someone
[00:30:30] and not cuddling
[00:30:30] they nap on separate
[00:30:33] they're like catches
[00:30:35] okay yeah
[00:30:36] he stared at her for several seconds
[00:30:39] honestly it was kind of nice
[00:30:41] it was the most attention she'd gotten
[00:30:43] from him since almost slipping in
[00:30:45] slipping on puke
[00:30:46] since the night they met
[00:30:48] but he stared at her
[00:30:51] untrustingly for a few seconds
[00:30:52] yeah so for three weeks that's the most affectionate
[00:30:55] he's been
[00:30:59] I've dated some airheads
[00:31:01] Piper
[00:31:02] he sighed
[00:31:03] for you put them all to shame
[00:31:06] oh no
[00:31:09] oh dear
[00:31:10] she kept her smile in place
[00:31:12] yeah no wonder why he thought yeah bang on the money
[00:31:14] throw your drink in his face Piper
[00:31:16] though it took some determination than usual
[00:31:18] people were watching at that very moment
[00:31:20] she was in the background of at least five selfies being captured around the roof
[00:31:23] including one
[00:31:24] of Ansel Elgort
[00:31:27] he's not an actor
[00:31:29] he is
[00:31:29] no I mean he wasn't
[00:31:34] no he isn't
[00:31:35] he's an actor
[00:31:36] who is he
[00:31:39] he's in like the fault in our stars
[00:31:42] oh that guy the main guy
[00:31:44] yeah yeah yeah
[00:31:46] it's an awful name
[00:31:48] it would be a disaster
[00:31:50] if she let her sinking heart show on her face
[00:31:52] especially when news of the breakup got out
[00:31:54] I don't understand
[00:31:56] she said with a laugh
[00:31:58] sweeping rose gold hair over her
[00:32:00] shoulder
[00:32:02] shocking
[00:32:02] he returned
[00:32:03] oh you absolutely
[00:32:06] yes no he's the bad person here
[00:32:08] she's not helping by keeping up the appearance
[00:32:11] um
[00:32:15] look babe
[00:32:16] it was a fun three weeks
[00:32:17] you're a smoke show in a bikini
[00:32:19] he shrugged an elegant Tom Ford clad shoulder
[00:32:22] I'm just trying to end this before he gets boring
[00:32:25] you know
[00:32:26] boring getting older
[00:32:28] not a director or a pop star
[00:32:30] yeah
[00:32:32] yeah okay just a pretty girl with a millionaire
[00:32:35] stepfather
[00:32:35] yeah terrible
[00:32:37] oh how awful
[00:32:39] but um Piper couldn't think about that now though
[00:32:42] she just wanted to exit the park
[00:32:43] as inconspicuously as possible
[00:32:45] and go have a good cry after she popped
[00:32:48] a Xanax Xanax
[00:32:50] I don't what is it
[00:32:51] it's an American thing
[00:32:53] yeah but it's like a
[00:32:54] I think we have it here too
[00:32:56] anxiety medication
[00:32:58] type thing
[00:32:59] it's not figure though
[00:33:00] yeah anyway
[00:33:03] um and
[00:33:05] posted an inspirational quote on her
[00:33:08] Instagram feed of course
[00:33:09] what does Adrian do did we find out
[00:33:12] he's finance in a film in the
[00:33:14] ah okay
[00:33:16] it would confirm the breakup but also allow her
[00:33:18] to control the narrative
[00:33:19] oh the inspirational quote
[00:33:21] something about growth and loving herself maybe
[00:33:23] her sister Hannah
[00:33:25] would have the perfect song lyrics
[00:33:27] to include she was always sitting around
[00:33:29] in a pile of vinyls
[00:33:31] those giant ugly headphones wrapped around
[00:33:33] her head damn she wish she'd put more
[00:33:35] stock in Hannah's opinion of Adrian
[00:33:39] what had he said oh yeah
[00:33:41] gosh she is a dumbass
[00:33:44] yeah
[00:33:45] he's like if someone drew eyes on
[00:33:48] oh what was it that she
[00:33:49] said Hannah said
[00:33:52] he's like if someone drew eyes on a
[00:33:55] turnt up
[00:33:59] hahahahahahha
[00:33:59] I like Hannah
[00:34:00] that's very good yeah
[00:34:02] go on Hannah
[00:34:03] once again Piper had zoned out
[00:34:05] oh she might need medication
[00:34:08] she might if she's not able to
[00:34:10] have a talk while talking to someone
[00:34:14] and Adrian checked his watch
[00:34:15] oh fuck sake
[00:34:17] Adrian checked his watch for a second time
[00:34:19] are we done here I have to mingle
[00:34:21] get out of there Piper
[00:34:23] that's Adrian
[00:34:24] oh yeah
[00:34:27] she rushed to say her voice
[00:34:29] horrifyingly unnatural
[00:34:31] you couldn't be more right about breaking
[00:34:33] things off before the boring blues
[00:34:35] strike
[00:34:37] class of 28 or she's 98
[00:34:40] more than 28
[00:34:42] the boring blues
[00:34:43] your voice doesn't make any sense
[00:34:45] yeah
[00:34:46] right after the roaring
[00:34:48] 20s comes the boring blues
[00:34:49] I should know that
[00:34:52] oh dear Piper
[00:34:53] can we just head canon
[00:34:55] that Piper is
[00:34:57] 68
[00:34:59] I didn't think about it
[00:35:02] like that
[00:35:02] she clings to her champagne glass against his
[00:35:05] very consciously uncoupling
[00:35:08] very mature
[00:35:10] yeah
[00:35:11] really really going out with
[00:35:14] dignity
[00:35:14] call it whatever you want
[00:35:16] Adrian forced a
[00:35:18] one smile
[00:35:20] a wane smile
[00:35:22] how does that go
[00:35:26] oh god
[00:35:27] that's horrifying
[00:35:30] yeah thanks for everything
[00:35:32] no thank you
[00:35:33] oh Piper
[00:35:35] she pursed her lips trying to appear
[00:35:38] so non hair
[00:35:40] fuck sake
[00:35:40] she pursed her lips trying to appear
[00:35:43] as non airhead like as possible
[00:35:46] I've learned a lot about myself
[00:35:47] over the last three weeks
[00:35:49] come on Piper
[00:35:51] Adrian belly lapped
[00:35:53] did he say oh come on Piper
[00:35:57] scrutinizing our head to toe
[00:35:59] you play dress up and spend your daddy's money
[00:36:01] you don't have a reason to learn anything
[00:36:04] Jesus
[00:36:04] he is a
[00:36:07] do I need a reason
[00:36:09] she asked lightly
[00:36:10] lips still tilted at the corners
[00:36:13] and now you're being way laid
[00:36:14] he huffed a breath oh I guess not
[00:36:16] but you definitely need a brain that functions
[00:36:18] beyond how many lights you can get on a picture
[00:36:20] of your rack
[00:36:21] there's more to life than that Piper
[00:36:24] I feel like he
[00:36:29] is that
[00:36:30] one to be casting stones
[00:36:32] throwing stones
[00:36:33] yeah I know
[00:36:34] she said prodded by irritation
[00:36:37] and more than a little bit of reluctant shame
[00:36:41] life is what I'm documenting true photos I
[00:36:44] you have grown half left
[00:36:47] why are you forcing me to be an asshole
[00:36:50] someone called his name from inside the penthouse
[00:36:53] and he held up a finger keeping his gaze locked on Piper
[00:36:56] there's just nothing to you okay
[00:36:59] I mean three weeks break up her and throw off
[00:37:01] yeah yeah don't need to
[00:37:03] change her
[00:37:03] don't need to tear her down
[00:37:06] there are
[00:37:07] thousands of Piper bellingers
[00:37:09] in this city you're just a way to
[00:37:11] pass the time he shrugs
[00:37:13] and your time has passed
[00:37:16] couldn't fucking kill her
[00:37:20] it was a miracle Piper
[00:37:22] kept her winning smile intact as age
[00:37:23] and sailed away already calling out to his friends
[00:37:25] hey guys I did it
[00:37:28] I let the woman have what for
[00:37:32] no woke media is gonna tell me
[00:37:34] I can't grade a woman
[00:37:38] she needs to push him off the second
[00:37:41] and now everyone under roof deck was staring at her whispering behind their hands
[00:37:45] feeling sorry for of all the horrors
[00:37:48] she
[00:37:50] she saluted them with her glass
[00:37:51] then realized it was empty
[00:37:54] she
[00:37:56] saluted them yeah
[00:37:57] setting it down on the tray of a passing wader
[00:37:59] she collected her but a guvvanata
[00:38:02] whatever
[00:38:03] yeah
[00:38:05] not clutch with all the things
[00:38:07] yeah with all the things
[00:38:09] she could muster and guided through the
[00:38:11] trung of onlookers by the way
[00:38:13] I will make you mention here
[00:38:15] I'm Irish sometimes T. H. has come out
[00:38:17] as just solid T's
[00:38:19] deal with us we're dealing with
[00:38:21] I'm not changing for no man
[00:38:24] I am
[00:38:25] I am
[00:38:26] I am
[00:38:29] okay good
[00:38:30] changing for me
[00:38:32] yeah
[00:38:34] blinking back to
[00:38:36] moisture and arise to bring the elevator call button into focus
[00:38:40] when the doors finally hit her from view
[00:38:42] she slumped back against a metal wall
[00:38:44] taking deep breaths in through her nose
[00:38:46] out to her mouth
[00:38:47] already the news that she'd been dumped by Adrian would be
[00:38:50] blasted across all across all the socials
[00:38:53] maybe even with video included
[00:38:54] okay
[00:38:55] not even see the celebrities would invite her to
[00:38:58] parties after this
[00:38:59] for three weeks
[00:39:01] she got embarrassed love
[00:39:03] in front of everyone
[00:39:04] she had a reputation as a good time
[00:39:06] someone to covet an it girl
[00:39:10] if she didn't have her social status
[00:39:12] what did she have
[00:39:14] millions
[00:39:16] Piper pulled her phone out of her clutch
[00:39:18] and absently requested a luxury
[00:39:20] Uber connecting her with a driver
[00:39:22] who was only five minutes away
[00:39:23] then she closed the app and pulled up her favourites list
[00:39:26] or Tom hovered over the name
[00:39:27] Hannah momentarily
[00:39:30] but landed on Kirby instead
[00:39:31] the woman can't even get the phone right
[00:39:36] her friend answered on the first ring
[00:39:40] oh my god is it true you begged Adrian
[00:39:42] not to break up with you in front of Ansel Elgort
[00:39:46] got an accent
[00:39:48] I don't know what accent that's going to be
[00:39:49] it was worse than she taught
[00:39:51] how many people had already
[00:39:52] yeah sorry how many people had already
[00:39:55] tipped off TMZ
[00:39:56] what a terrible friend
[00:39:58] are you alright?
[00:40:02] tomorrow night at 6.30
[00:40:04] they would be
[00:40:05] tossing her name around the newsroom while
[00:40:08] Harvey sips from his reusable cup
[00:40:11] I didn't beg Adrian to keep me
[00:40:13] come on Kirby don't be better than that
[00:40:15] bitch I do
[00:40:16] the accents will change
[00:40:19] for some characters

[00:40:39] damage control the elevator door is open
[00:40:41] and peeper
[00:40:41] sorry piper
[00:40:46] piper stepped off
[00:40:47] paper
[00:40:48] pooper
[00:40:50] it's funny
[00:40:51] she stepped off
[00:40:55] clicking through the lobby
[00:40:57] in her red sold pumps
[00:40:58] eventually stepping out into
[00:40:59] Wilshire the warm July air
[00:41:02] drying the dampen center
[00:41:03] tall buildings of downtown las
[00:41:05] angels reached up into the smuggy
[00:41:07] summer night sky
[00:41:09] and she craned her neck to find the tops
[00:41:11] how late is the rooftop pool open after
[00:41:14] the Mondrian
[00:41:14] yeah that one
[00:41:20] you're asking about our
[00:41:21] Kirby again her accent is on
[00:41:23] sorry you're asking about hours of
[00:41:25] operation at a time like this
[00:41:27] have you just thrown my phone away
[00:41:30] ok I got it
[00:41:38] cool
[00:41:43] you're asking about hours of operation
[00:41:45] at a time like this
[00:41:46] Kirby Grype followed by the sound of her
[00:41:47] vape crackling in the background
[00:41:50] I don't know but it's past midnight
[00:41:51] and it's not already closed it will be
[00:41:54] soon a black linkin pulled up
[00:41:55] along the car backer double checking
[00:41:57] the license plate number
[00:41:59] piper climbed
[00:42:02] piper climbed inside
[00:42:03] and shut the door wouldn't breaking
[00:42:05] into the pool and having
[00:42:07] the time of our lives be like the best way
[00:42:09] to fight fire with fire
[00:42:10] each one of you broke up in a legend
[00:42:13] oh shit Kirby
[00:42:16] you're resurrecting piper
[00:42:17] 2014
[00:42:20] ooh she was a wild one
[00:42:21] she was this was the answer wasn't
[00:42:23] it there was no better time in her life than the year
[00:42:25] she turned 21 and ran
[00:42:26] absolutely book wild through LA
[00:42:29] making herself famous for being famous in the
[00:42:31] process
[00:42:32] she was just in a rut that was
[00:42:36] hmm
[00:42:36] hmm
[00:42:39] all
[00:42:41] maybe it was time to reclaim
[00:42:42] reclaim her crown
[00:42:44] maybe then she wouldn't hear Aegean's words looping
[00:42:47] over and over again in the back of her head
[00:42:48] forcing her to consider that he might be right
[00:42:51] am I just one of
[00:42:53] thousands
[00:42:54] am I just one of thousands
[00:42:56] thank you
[00:42:58] am I the girl who breaks into a pool for a swim
[00:43:01] at one o'clock in the morning

[00:43:05] crazy

[00:43:50] how about we have everyone
[00:43:54] meet us there

[00:43:57] evil and awesome powers
[00:43:58] that's how she gets arrested
[00:44:01] and I assume everyone else
[00:44:05] she's a ringleader
[00:44:06] so they only care about her
[00:44:09] but maybe hannah too
[00:44:10] because hannah is sent off to west port

[00:44:48] so far I like piper
[00:44:52] she is an airhead
[00:44:56] she's going to learn the
[00:44:57] error of her ways
[00:45:00] not that there is any
[00:45:01] errors
[00:45:02] she can be whoever she wants to be

[00:45:36] like adria and there be
[00:45:39] like she'll have some sort of interaction with him
[00:45:41] and he'll be like

[00:46:04] chapter two will come along
[00:46:07] um
[00:46:09] by the way check out the turn to training
[00:46:11] podcast which is
[00:46:12] a improv comedy podcast where
[00:46:14] a guest
[00:46:16] acts as ruler of grown country
[00:46:17] and we have a chat about how
[00:46:19] well I have a chat with them about
[00:46:20] how they would run their country as a benevolent
[00:46:23] or malevolent or tyrannical
[00:46:24] or lovely
[00:46:27] tyrant, tyrant our ruler of grown
[00:46:29] country so yeah that's the end of this
[00:46:31] maybe you got tyrant? you can
[00:46:33] absolutely you can
[00:46:33] would you still be called a tyrant?
[00:46:36] yeah
[00:46:39] I thought I told you this from a very
[00:46:40] I've said this a few times in canada podcast
[00:46:43] is
[00:46:45] true
[00:46:48] is
[00:46:49] um the word tyrant
[00:46:50] mm-hmm
[00:46:52] I believe came
[00:46:54] from ancient Greece
[00:46:55] okay and a tyrant
[00:46:58] was simply someone who became
[00:47:01] the ruler of a community of
[00:47:03] you know whatever um
[00:47:04] of a region or a city or whatever
[00:47:06] true unconventional means
[00:47:09] ah so not necessarily
[00:47:11] bad means
[00:47:13] no it's just
[00:47:15] I suppose if you
[00:47:17] become the ruler of
[00:47:19] a people true unconventional
[00:47:21] means I mean that
[00:47:23] feels like something like a coup
[00:47:25] yes or you know
[00:47:27] especially ancient times like you assassinated
[00:47:30] the king and then you took over
[00:47:31] type of thing or you forced
[00:47:33] the wife to marry a type
[00:47:35] yeah because that's not normally
[00:47:37] how it should go so
[00:47:39] then if you're the sort of person who does it that way
[00:47:42] you're probably
[00:47:43] going to be an asshole
[00:47:45] yeah yeah and tyrannical
[00:47:48] um
[00:47:49] so then yeah
[00:47:51] but like no the
[00:47:53] the actual meaning came
[00:47:55] there was I think in ancient Greece
[00:47:57] there's also examples of someone who
[00:47:59] they just basically went hey I know we usually
[00:48:01] have like an election with all the landlord males
[00:48:03] land land owning males
[00:48:05] um we're just gonna have this fellow ruler for a year
[00:48:07] oh he's a tyrant then yeah because
[00:48:09] we just gave it to him
[00:48:11] and he was fine he just did his job and then went away
[00:48:13] um so all
[00:48:16] of your people on the podcast
[00:48:18] they basically are tyrants because they just
[00:48:19] randomly get their own island yes
[00:48:22] it is unconventional
[00:48:23] but the interesting thing is some come
[00:48:25] on to the podcast
[00:48:27] and they assume okay I need
[00:48:29] to be okay so I need to make sure
[00:48:31] these people aren't happy in some way
[00:48:33] and I'm like no no
[00:48:35] you can decide whatever you want to do with these people
[00:48:38] you can give them paradise utopia
[00:48:41] maybe they just want
[00:48:42] to make them unhappy I think they want
[00:48:44] but that's what I mean I'm like you don't have to do this
[00:48:46] no no they better put up high walls
[00:48:49] and guards everywhere guns
[00:48:50] like
[00:48:51] you're deciding to be paranoid
[00:48:54] yeah
[00:48:54] so it was a fun
[00:48:57] little observation
[00:49:00] so um
[00:49:02] yes
[00:49:02] thanks for listening
[00:49:04] and we'll be back again
[00:49:05] same time
[00:49:08] goodbye now
