Hey guys and welcome back to Talk Podcasts. To me I'm your host, courtney Gillory, and today I have a very long, long time friend who is unfortunately long distance. So I am currently in Baltimore visiting her and I would like to introduce my girl, stephanie Orlando, also known as Slando.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Hello, we love it so much and you're stuck with it for a long time, so we've been friends for 15 years 15. I think we counted.
Courtney Gilroy:I think we're on 15.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):How You're number 15.
Courtney Gilroy:Wow.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):It's all in 10.
Courtney Gilroy:How's it been?
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):That's like more than half my life.
Courtney Gilroy:Seriously, actually, you're still here. I mean you're still here, so it guess it's been going great. I mean I love this for us, so we are going to share many many stories.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):We've gone through a lot together. A lot High school college breakups makeups lots of boys, lots of breakups.
Courtney Gilroy:Lots of crying, lots of crying, lots of happy times and, yeah, and the part of this podcast, as I said I really wanted it to be having people come on that have made me who I am today. Obviously, steph is one of them. She has been there for me through a lot, like a lot of times where you know we all have those moments, we all have those years, and she's been there with me through the highs, the lows and all of that. So let's get started. Where do we start? High school we have to start in high school, yeah, where we met. So we met through a mutual friend. We both cheered. She cheered for PC, I cheered for Saddlebrook. We both were competition cheerleaders at the time, like one of my friends growing up cheered for PC, so she brought me around a bunch of them.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I think we just met like a house. Yeah, it was like a house party.
Courtney Gilroy:We met at a house party and we literally I don't even we were trying to think about how we started talking and we, just like it was just an instant, like hit it off. Like every time we would see each other at like parties, we would always just like grab each other and talk, laugh, Like I'm very. If I could just be myself and just like find someone that I could just like I'm just a weirdo, I'm just a weirdo. And if I could just find someone who's equally just like weirdo thing Probably weird.
Courtney Gilroy:No, we're just weird, like, we just have like we just literally could look at each other and like not even have to talk and we just know, like if I know, I have that.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Oh my gosh, do you remember that time we had a complete conversation. Oh my god.
Courtney Gilroy:I do remember that it was when we were in Delaware. It was when we went to there were multiple times. Oh, I remember that one. That was with X-boyfriend number two.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):So I've been there since X-boyfriend number one.
Courtney Gilroy:You've been there since X-boyfriend number one, the breakup of that one. That was rough. You've been there for all of them. But yeah, we I actually think we got yeah, we got closer during college years because you went to University of Delaware and we both love horses, so I feel like that was definitely something we both bonded over.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Yeah, for sure we used to go riding together. That's probably what you would come home. We would just hang out before, but in high school too, oh, yeah, definitely.
Courtney Gilroy:And then, yes, I found a place when I was in high school. I was in beauty school and I was like, oh my, if you asked me, and I was like, steph, come with me. And then we went a couple times and we have so many just memories with that alone. And then I took a trip to your upstate house. No, that was during, like, college years. I guess it's gonna all be a blur.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):We're just gonna really be backtracking a lot and when Courtney says that she spent a weekend at my house upstate, she slept for like 48 straight hours.
Courtney Gilroy:No, I slept. So, also, going back to that time, that was X-boyfriend number two.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Number two was pretty exhausting.
Courtney Gilroy:That was exhausting. Nothing, nothing bad on him. I will not talk shit about any of my exes on this. They all molded me to be who I am today. But at that time in my life I was young. You know, when you're young and you're in a relationship, you think you're gonna marry this person and whatever. You just don't want to give it up because it was just more so, like just the way things were, and I didn't want to give it up and it was just not a good relationship and I was exhausted that weekend and I had a weekend where we literally had no cell service. So it was very nice and I was so relaxed.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):X-boyfriend number two has actually been up there too. Yeah, we've all been up there. Oh, I wish I could share those stories. Can't share those stories Ledge to say your house was a lot of fun. All right, so, x-boyfriend number two, we went through our college years.
Courtney Gilroy:You came to visit me at school which was also every time I feel like I visited you. I think I was also fighting with him. Were you with him, I was with, not through all of your college years, because I did actually break up with him, and it was I was. It was when I turned 21. I was single at 21. Oh wait, no, because we were going into the bars. Oh yeah, your birthday weekend, I remember we went to Grados. Grados is good, so, kate's some blue hens out there.
Courtney Gilroy:No, what a slater race is like. Yeah, so I was definitely single around that time, but that's where I also went, but it's called protein boy.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Let's call him. Let's call him. He's gonna be called protein boy. Who's it?
Courtney Gilroy:Rebecca, we needed an intermission on that one. I don't know that came out of nowhere and it's an insider.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I don't really accurate. It is so accurate I'm crying, but it's gonna be his name.
Courtney Gilroy:I was going to visit you, not all the time when I was getting your fights, it just always happened to me, so that actually it was a good getaway, but also to have a conversation.
Courtney Gilroy:Going back to that, that is something I have learned through stuff. Do you really want to be with someone, even if you love them so much, that every time you go away you're fighting? And that was also like, hey, I'm going to visit Seth this weekend. It was just a fight and it was just. Again, I don't want to shit talk them and it.
Courtney Gilroy:We're young and that is something that now, when I'm older, there's some people that I've seen in relationships that they go out and their significant other are fighting with them for going out and living their life. I'm happy I got that over with when I was younger to learn I will never tolerate that and that is something that, again, I would spend me and Seth will go out and she would take my phone. She'd be like you're not going to be on your phone, we're going to have fun and we would have the best time and I'm like I'm going to deal with it tomorrow. It's at the end of the day, I know it's going to be fine, yeah, and I kept going back. I kept saying we never ended, we finally just had enough, and I was just listening like I love you, I care about you. I just can't do this anymore. And I remember calling Seth when I actually woke her up. It was like three in the morning. Do you remember that one? It was like three in the morning, huh.
Courtney Gilroy:Oh my gosh no, yeah, it was like three in the morning and you were like, are you okay? And I was like, if I call, there was a couple of times I called you like super early in the morning and I was like, yeah, now I ended things and like at that time it was like girl who cried break up, like okay, you're going to get back together.
Courtney Gilroy:It was on and off for a little while, yeah, okay, we're going to get back together, blah, blah, blah. But like again, we've had some good times, like again we'll get into that. But yeah, so I remember visiting her and it was your 21st birthday weekend. I took my I think I took my sister's ID that weekend, Pretty sure.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Yeah, I took my sister's ID when I was 21.
Courtney Gilroy:I'm pretty sure I took my sister's ID. Wasn't she pregnant? She was pregnant. She was pregnant with Luke.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):That would have been.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, she was pregnant with Luke, Because when I was dating that person she was yeah, Okay. So yeah, I think I took my sister's ID that weekend, whatever, and we went out and it's a great time, great time. A couple of rat parties that we've gone to that was prior to that Rat parties. Yeah, I'm a protein boy, before we even were 21.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Protein boy was in the picture for a while. Protein boy is.
Courtney Gilroy:We're still friends. Yeah, he's still in the picture. We're friends.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):And so, yeah, we. So after college, I obviously moved to Baltimore. So we have not been friends in the same state?
Courtney Gilroy:in years, since 2013. That's crazy. And 10 years and we kept that going, we. And let me tell you, yes, it's hard. Long distance relationships and friendships are hard.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):It's harder, uh, long distance friendship or long distance relationship. Well, the fine long distance relationship. Are you in a relationship? Oh gosh, um, we'll get back to that.
Courtney Gilroy:All right, let's get back to that, but that's gonna be a fun story but we've made it work, we made it work. It's honestly like it's. I look at coming to visit you as just a relaxing time and to get away. I feel like when I'm home I'm just like stressed, so like I love to come visit you Like we, even if, like we once time spend a weekend literally just like on the couch, and it was like great.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Yeah, I don't know what it means, that like every time you come to visit me you like really catch up on sleep. Sometimes I just relax, I mean.
Courtney Gilroy:but you know, but we do go out, we have fun, and then we're just like, aren't it like? I value our time like we could. Literally that's like what I love about my friendship with you and just like all my friends, is like we don't always have to entertain each other Like we could literally just like sit in each other's presence and like like happen and out of conversation.
Courtney Gilroy:That's also, actually, I'll say, a thing that's hard about long distance friendships and relationships or whatever is. You are spending 24 hours with someone, so like you have to be so comfortable with someone and like you're really getting to know them. Like I remember my first trip out to visit you, like when you were living at the apartment, like we both realized like we like to like clean up immediately, so like we got along great and I feel like we never like didn't really get along and like those aspects because, like I feel like we're both so OCD, so like we need to tidy yeah, we both tight and like tight yeah.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I'll clean up the kitchen all day long, like Courtney makes make her meals a day, five meals a day.
Courtney Gilroy:I make her bed usually.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Yeah, she. I went upstairs this morning and my bed was made. I was confused. It was me. She's like did I have a maid come? Like what's going on?
Courtney Gilroy:It was me.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Um, but yeah, when you come, it definitely just is more important for us to spend time together, like we prioritize hanging out and like catching up and going out and having fun.
Courtney Gilroy:We're getting older now, so we kind of really can't hang that much anymore. We are old.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):We're, yeah, we're 28. So Courtney and I went out for my birthday this year. And we? How was it?
Courtney Gilroy:That was, was it love?
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):No, it was last year.
Courtney Gilroy:No, this year we went to Cowtown right at the rodeo it was last year. Oh my God, so last year we went out for my birthday. We were even younger than we are right now. We were hungover for two days.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):We did not get out of bed that entire time. We ordered Chick-fil-A at two different times of the day because we were taking turns Like yeah rethinking about it.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, she has two bathrooms, thank God, actually three, so thank God, but those two bathrooms were designated for one another. Yeah, yours is the whole. At one point we switched. We switched because I was in one. It was rough. We made friends Like every time we go out. This is what's so fun about us Every time we go out, we just make friends Like everywhere.
Courtney Gilroy:And yeah, we just like I don't even know and it's not even like we're not those girls that like go out, we want to meet guys. Like it's never, that's never our intentions, ever. We literally go out like we make friends with girls, we make friends with guys, like we literally just like vibe with people and like that's how we like have the seagulls slando thing, because it's like our alter ego comes out and we just like I don't even know, we just have so much fun. And that night for her birthday, like obviously like we met the bartender from the other bar that was completely dead and she's like come out with me afterwards, whatever, and she got this hammered. I remember she got this hammered she used to be.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, and at that point we were pretty drunk. We stopped waiting for us and a drink and I was like, let me call Uber now, we'll finish that. It's a shot. And then by the time we're in the car on the way home I'm going to be spending like and I am grateful for you that night.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Oh, my gosh, I remember calling Voldemort.
Courtney Gilroy:I remember that.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I remember I called Voldemort and I was like I was also calling yeah.
Courtney Gilroy:Somebody.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):We do have to take each other's phones away from us.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, I called him because I had the spin so bad and we're in Baltimore and like we weren't in the best area. I don't think that night we weren't. It was yeah, we. I just was like I'm pretty imprecautious and I was like, hi, this is my location, just make sure I get to hear this is where Steph lives. Just can you just watch it. And he was like yeah, you're good. And I hung up and that was like my only conversation with him and he like stayed up to watch and make sure I got to your house. I like two in the morning, it was like two in the morning. I didn't wash my makeup off and we, it was. That was a night. That was a fun night, though.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):That was a night.
Courtney Gilroy:That was probably the last time, I think, I've gotten that drunk. Nope, it's not, but okay it's not.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Well, that was definitely the last time I've been that drunk. Oh my God, that was so rough.
Courtney Gilroy:Do you remember that one time when college, when we went out, it was a frat party and I had to bring you food to work and you couldn't even get a Gatorade and you didn't make it to the car and you threw up outside of Walgreens or something? Yeah, oh, my God.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):So something to know about me.
Courtney Gilroy:I think your mom was like mad at me coming to visit because she thought that we were just partiers.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):My mom thinks you're a bad influence on me. I'm not. I'm definitely not. Am I allowed to mention you on here? Yeah, because my mom also knows that you're the one that made me like, got me into my smoking phase.
Courtney Gilroy:Oh, so that was also ex-boyfriend number two.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Ex-boyfriend number two really does dirty. Yeah, that was a fun time, do you?
Courtney Gilroy:remember that time where we had to pick him up from a party and he was so drunk and he was smoking a cigarette and we had him fully convinced that he burned off his eyebrow. She's like no way. And we're like we didn't even look at each other, we just full blown, went in on it and like that's what I love about us. Like we just like know and we just go in on the pranks and I'm like, oh my God.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Your eyebrow came off and the night that we were like, literally, were talking to each other telepathically.
Courtney Gilroy:That might have been.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):In the kitchen.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, yeah, I think that was the night. Yeah, we had him fully convinced that his eyebrow came off for like a good five minutes, like he was freaking out.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):But we do have him to thank for nicknames. Yeah, that's true, we had good nicknames, thank, you ex-boyfriend number two for Seagulls and Slant, and if you listen to this, don't get mad at me, I don't talk to you. I love you, I still love you. You're doing well.
Courtney Gilroy:God bless, sorry, we can be friends now. What? Else do you got All right. So we went through some boys, we went through college. Shall we talk about our? We said when we turned 21, we were going to go to Nashville.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):This, I think we're like 22. I just started dating Voldemort. I think we were like 22.
Courtney Gilroy:I think we were like 22. I just started dating Voldemort. Yeah, I was on.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I just started dating Voldemort. It was right in the beginning, it was 22. Yeah, because I did a little disappearing act, I remember I made friends and you also are to blame for that relationship.
Courtney Gilroy:So I mean thank you.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):That is my fault.
Courtney Gilroy:And honestly, and it taught you so much.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):It taught me a lot.
Courtney Gilroy:It taught me a lot in my life. I won't talk bad about him. His name is Voldemort because at one point in life he was the one who should not be named, and I love Harry Potter, so he knows it. He knows, his name is Voldemort.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):But we okay. So one thing that Courtney and I definitely love is a country bar with a mechanical bowl, and that's the night you met him. Yes, what was that bar in New?
Courtney Gilroy:Jersey. Oh, I still don't even know, it wasn't it might be closed now.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):It is closed now.
Courtney Gilroy:It was um, I don't know.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Something, but we went there.
Courtney Gilroy:And she. So this is a story. She had a friend that was interested in me oh my gosh, and yeah, and at the time she was talking to one of my friends.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):So we all went out. Who was it supposed to?
Courtney Gilroy:be with you know, jesus, oh Jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus, Jesus, jesus, jesus. You know, he's just I called him Jesus. This is all going on, so Okay, you get it Okay.
Courtney Gilroy:Anyway so he was a part of the friend group and she never showed me pictures at all. I was also I wasn't newly single. I was single for like a year, like me, after me and ex number two broke up. I Normally I feel like girls go through like a whole phase and just like live it up Like I didn't. I hooked up with one person after that Cowboy.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Mm-hmm. I love these nicknames. Oh, it's so great. It's never gets old, so I never had a one-night stand in my life actually still currently.
Courtney Gilroy:We'll get to that second story though. So, yeah, ex point number two I did not want anything backtrack. I love Cowboys. We're really hopping all over the place. I love Cowboys, obviously. Let's just say I went to a show, and that's a story. I met a cowboy that's a good story, you know exactly what I'm talking about and met him, and that's not a show, but sure, I don't want to say exactly what it is because it's going to give a lot of it away.
Courtney Gilroy:Okay, and I don't think that person wants me to talk about. It Is there. Yeah, I'm being. I'm gonna say too, before I started this podcast I reached out to a bunch of people to ask their permission of things that I can't talk about and, out of respect for them, I'm not gonna fully give up a lot of things. So I'm trying to get around the story without giving too much up. But let's just say, after that relationship from ex number two met a cowboy and we went on a date and I thought that was gonna be my first ever one-night stand. It didn't turn into one. We were friends, we're actually cool, we still kind of randomly talk and yeah.
Courtney Gilroy:So then after that I was like I'm not gonna date this kid. He doesn't even live here, he lives like states away. And then I was single for a year. So like going back to like where I was and I was just like I really just wanted to. Just I had a lot of just things from my past relationships, not just one, both at the time and I was like I just want to have fun. I'm 21, turning 22, whatever, let me just live it up. So at the time, instead of her going out and she had a friend that was interested in me and I had no idea what he looked like and I was just like we'll see. So I remember we were out at our friend's house and I saw Voldemort and I thought he was who she was and hooked me up with. So I was like it was not, it was not, and I was like Just say that and she was like no.
Courtney Gilroy:And I was like well, is he single? And she's like I know, right, brody sleeping, oh, he's having a nightmare. So then he and I met that night and mechanical ball, and that was my pickup line. I was like I bet you I could stay on a ball longer than you.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):And this has been your pickup line for the past 10 years.
Courtney Gilroy:If there's a freaking ball out and I'm around people you better believe a girl's challenging them.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Yeah, I think I came out last night, yeah.
Courtney Gilroy:I won. That's all I got to say. Yeah, anyway, so yeah, so she's to thank for that, which again learned a lot, and I won't say anything about him Worst and best decision ever. Yeah, that was a lot of a lot of years.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):But I got us here.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, and we I mean we were closer from even that and like going back to that. So we had a trip. We just have to all over the place. Oh my gosh, we were talking about Nashville, so we had a trip plan and I just started dating this guy. And I was so nervous for a trip because I was so used to going away with someone and somebody being like you can't do that, you can't do that. And we were going away with two guys.
Courtney Gilroy:And like I plan this trip, when we I was single and like we weren't talking to them at all, like they were literally just friends, like we were sleeping in one room, yeah, like it was, like there was actually like three bedrooms, Like it was not a trip like that.
Courtney Gilroy:And I remember telling him like I had this trip plan way before I met you and he was like, okay, like, have fun, Like. And I remember he like he didn't even bother me, he was just like why are you on your phone? Like have fun, like whatever.
Courtney Gilroy:Which is normal, which is normal, and it taught me so much of like wow, this is what a normal relationship is, like. That's crazy. This is not. This is normal. I can go out with my friends and someone trusts me. It's crazy, but anyway, that trip was our first trip to Nashville. Yeah, and it was amazing. It was the best trip ever. We got someone that we were with to drunkenly swim in a waterfall A public, like monument waterfall. Yeah, like around the full thing. The way that I don't even understand how we get people to do some things and I don't even know what. Yeah, true, yeah, but we I don't even know what happened with me and stuff. She gets in this mode. It's slender mode. She gets in this mode where, like, she doesn't want to leave something and she'll just go off on her own.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):And then I'm like I just feel like I'm having such a great time. I want to enjoy it with everybody.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, so like she, just like I thought you went to the bathroom and she just left the bar.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I went to a different bar and this is like with a different Prior to like find my iPhone. Yeah, I think like no, I think we had. It was my new friend's birthday and I went to go take birthday drinks at a different bar.
Courtney Gilroy:She's in a different bar and I'm like where the hell is this girl? She gives me pissed, Pissed. I'm like, where the fuck are you? We don't know these people, so I'm I'll never forget. I'm walking on the street of Nashville. It's like across the street, like two different bars out.
Courtney Gilroy:And a lot of bars in Nashville like you see through the windows, whatever she was at like a bar and I think I turned a corner and I just see her just dancing and I run in like if, like I understand why moms pull their kids by their ear sometimes like, listen to me.
Courtney Gilroy:I remember I got in and I just it was like like bitch face and I was like what the fuck are you doing? Like this is our first time in Nashville. Nashville is huge and like now it's even like bigger than what it was then. But like these bars didn't have like multiple, like they had multiple floors but there were a lot of people who were just on the bottom floor. Like there was one bar there that had a DJ and that was the bar we were at and she left. Cause she's like I want live music and I'm like I like the DJ. And she's like we've been here so long and I'm like, all right, I'm going to go to the bathroom, whatever. Or like I don't even know, I think we're to get another drink. I don't even remember all this and I turn it. She's gone. Me either, she's gone.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):And I'm like my mom. Aka seagulls came to pick me up from a party and I was embarrassed and I was like stop embarrassing me in front of my friend.
Courtney Gilroy:And I was like they're not your friends.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I'm like, I was like what's their?
Courtney Gilroy:names and you're like friend number one and two I have the hardest time remembering names, oh I know Given last night.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I met so many friends last night.
Courtney Gilroy:You did, you did. You're like, what was that? I met another birthday friend last night. I just thought of celebrating people's birthdays. I got them to play Fifty Cent and I did not remember his name all night.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Did I still remember his name? I do, because he texted me, because I gave him my number to come to my house.
Courtney Gilroy:Oh yeah, we wanted to play games afterwards. I'm like I want to go to sleep now. Oh, that was a good time. That was a good time. And what other trips, Ocean City. You've come on my family trips before, yeah we've gone to Ocean City together.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):We went to Nashville a second time. We went to Nashville a second time, so let's talk about that trip.
Courtney Gilroy:So me and Steph that was one time we didn't talk, so we have to talk about first like our biggest fight ever before.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Okay, that was our only fight in 15 years.
Courtney Gilroy:That was our only fight. To be honest, I don't, oh, I do remember, okay. So, like this is where it's going to kind of be like perspective, you're going to fight number two.
Courtney Gilroy:Oh God. So it's going to be like perspective. I was going through breakup with Voldemort and I was just. I was in a like I'm sad phase. I came to Baltimore to come visit. She was in a new relationship, which I was very happy for. I'm never not happy for my friends in being in relationships but she was just like wanted to hang out with him a lot and I'm like dude, I haven't seen you in months. I just want to spend like one day without like him and I want to be with you. So there was like kind of like a disconnect there and she's like but I want you to get to know him because I'm dating him and like whatever. I was like great, I already hung out with him as much as I wanted to and it was just kind of Steph, I love you to death. But she gets very stubborn, very stubborn and I think after that trip I was just like you're, like you're a bad friend, and I just think we were both very stubborn.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):We just didn't talk for a little bit. We didn't talk for months, a long time, yeah.
Courtney Gilroy:I think we didn't follow each other on Instagram all the time.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Maybe you did, but I didn't.
Courtney Gilroy:I don't know. No, I think you didn't follow me.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):But that second Nashville trip, so that second.
Courtney Gilroy:Nashville trip. I think you reached out to me and you're like I'm going to go to Nashville.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I was like wait, I love it. Our friend group was going. So yeah, and that was Voldemort's friend group.
Courtney Gilroy:So again, I still stayed friends with him.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):He didn't come and she was yeah, I didn't even remember that he didn't come. Yeah, he was working, yeah, and so it was my friend group and so we both were kind of like looking to go on this friend group trip.
Courtney Gilroy:Except for that we were not on speaking terms and I was like dude like I don't care, I still have so much love for you, like I'm like okay and like I think immediately, I think the trip started off very interesting and I think me and you again just picked right back up where we left off, because we were like we know how to do Nashville.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Yeah, we know how to do Nashville.
Courtney Gilroy:That's why okay, this is where the trip started, because we were ready to go out to Broadway. We're like, let's fucking go to Broadway, like Broadway girls coming out.
Courtney Gilroy:And we're like there for the period of time you were there shorter than I was, because you made it a quick trip because you were in school for your master. So you had to be back and I remember they wanted to just stay, they wanted to stay asleep and they wanted to stay at the, at the house and drink. And they were like, I mean, you were like no, and I think me and you looked at each other, were like fuck everything that happened. Let's talk it out real quick.
Courtney Gilroy:We went out by ourselves and we're like let's go out and we I remember we actually walked back.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):It was like a long walk to remember that and not to reach out to everything out, the gulch, the gulch, yeah, and then we were like scootering around Do you remember I rented to one of my friends boyfriends. Yeah.
Courtney Gilroy:And then yeah that was fun.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):And then, when I left, you.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, I hung out with them because I kept running into them. Yeah, so that was a fun trip, nashville.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):So where else are?
Courtney Gilroy:we on oh, good old Nashville Should. I just get it out of the way.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):So of course, he's been to Nashville a few more times than I have been to Nashville a couple of times, and I went to how many times.
Courtney Gilroy:this past time was my sixth time. So yeah, my my last trip to Nashville.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Not this one, yeah.
Courtney Gilroy:I went to the one before that I went with Alyssa. I was a Broadway girl.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):You were, I was a Broadway girl. And I remember what.
Courtney Gilroy:Thank you. I know, should we just get into it? All right, let's just get into it, because again I got to update you guys over my life. You know we have so much.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):We have so much to catch up on. So, you, mr, none of your Business Woo.
Courtney Gilroy:Again, I'm never going to talk shit about anybody and I.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I there's nothing to talk shit on. There's nothing to talk shit on.
Courtney Gilroy:Honestly, something about me and stuff that we both, equally, are very like. We can be so chill with our exes or like anyone that we've talked to, like if I know it doesn't work out, fine, it doesn't work out. I just got to go through the like grieving of like a breaking up and whatever, and then like I'm good to go, yeah, like.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I have no good will.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, I like I don't know. No, ill will no ill will.
Courtney Gilroy:I'm up. Yeah, it's just, it's not worth your effort, it's not worth it and it's just like it was a part of my life. It's just. I know that me like there's no reason to hash it out. So I give people nicknames and at this point in my life, where this was last year, I knew I haven't shared anybody on Instagram since Voldemort, and even that, like I learned through him, like you know, sometimes guys like their privacy, like I have. I don't like to say I'm a platform, but I do in a sense, and like and you're sharing a lot.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I share a lot of my life.
Courtney Gilroy:And I just like a little bit of my life private and like even with this podcast, like, yeah, you guys know a lot about my life and you're going to know a lot about my life, but I'm still going to keep a lot of things Like I'm not going to go in depth of you know my relationships and like a lot of aspects, but like I'm going to show what I've learned or whatever.
Courtney Gilroy:So I learned that my next relationship or whatever it is, I even like dates that I've gone on like if they were like kind of getting to that point of like you know you're in your talking phase and you get to that point where you're like, okay, I just don't want anybody to bother me anymore, out of respect for this person, but we're not in a relationship. So like my big thing is posting someone's hand. So like somebody soft launch. So anyway, I go to Nashville with Alyssa and I. It was the first night out and I could tell the story with Alyssa onto, but you know, let's just lay it out here now First night out, I never again at this point in life had a one night stand.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Sorry, mom, dad, if you're listening to this she has nights that might turn into a one night stand and somehow they keep sticking around.
Courtney Gilroy:But no, besides, yeah, besides cowboy every person I've like dated cowboy came around a few times yeah.
Courtney Gilroy:Anyway. So I go to Nashville and at that time on that trip it was a girl's trip, it was that I don't care, I'm having fun, whatever. So I went to Jason Aldean and I didn't even see him. Alyssa pointed him out to me and she was like look at this kid. And I was like he definitely has a girlfriend. I was like he's so hot. I was like the jawline, the blue eyes, like shit, like she knows my type. She knows it, you know.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Young looking.
Courtney Gilroy:Well, I'm a cougar, anyway. So fast forward to that night. And that night I his one friend went upstairs and I, like one of his other he was with like a group of people he's with a group of people.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):He's with a lot of friends.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, he's a lot of friends and I remember I was trying to get away from one of his friends talking to us and I remember seeing his one friend trying to get away from like girls talking to him and I was just like, all right, wait, let's go upstairs, like I need to get the fuck out of here, like this guy's annoying me and then I see none of your business. He's not even like approaching me. I'm like why isn't this kid? I'm like he definitely has a girlfriend.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):So I are you making eye contact with him? Yes, you know, you exist at this point he literally was friends with that friend group.
Courtney Gilroy:That was like talking to us.
Courtney Gilroy:He totally saw me like, did not even like come over. He's literally like just straight up, like with the boys, like I'm like you would think that like somebody that good looking would just like. I genuinely will say I thought that he would have been an asshole and I was like he's definitely just going to be like that guy, like go to a girl or like whatever, cause there was like some of his friends and his friend group doing that and would come back to the boys and then go to a different girl and like whatever. And he was just like straight up, just with the guys, and I'm like whatever. So maybe me, I was like I got it, you got to talk to one of the friends to get you.
Courtney Gilroy:So I found the friend that was in a relationship and I knew who's trying to get away from the girls. So I remember being upstairs and I saw him and there's two the girls followed him and I walked over by him and I was like, oh, did you get my drink? And he just like looked at me and I was like like I got you and I turned the girls, was like you guys could go. The hero of the night.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Yeah.
Courtney Gilroy:And I was like you guys could go and I'm just a people reader, I just get it Like I just read people, whatever. So I remember like the girls walked away and I said I clearly could tell you're in a relationship. I was downstairs and I was like literally hanging out with your friends. I saw you with all of us and I saw those two girls just wouldn't leave you alone Like he's, like you're very observant. I'm like I am. He's like you're, like I'm stalking you because I want your friends yeah.
Courtney Gilroy:So he was like I'm, he's like I'm married, but like I was like well, your wife is so lucky because, like you literally left your boys and like we're trying to get away from these people. And he's like I have friends that are single and he's like they're coming upstairs probably soon because I left, I don't know. I'm like all right, q. They all come upstairs and like when I tell you this group of guys, they were very handsome, I will say they were very handsome and I was like great him. And he was like oh, good choice.
Courtney Gilroy:And I was like and I remember, looking at a list, I was like if I was to ever have a one night stand, I don't even fucking care.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I really don't yeah Like it is what it is Like.
Courtney Gilroy:who cares? You know whatever. If you guys saw him, well, if you kept up with none of your business, you saw him.

Stephanie Orlando (Slando):And I was like ready to see. No, no, no, no, no. I just courted you likes to make up random identity.
Courtney Gilroy:I like to make up random shit.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):You went to Harvard last night, so oh, so I'm glad you brought that up. So and we went to.
Courtney Gilroy:Harvard, so In.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Nashville too.
Courtney Gilroy:She loves this one we were bullshitting and talking. Again, he knew my name, whatever, didn't tell him what I do for work. And again, like he's beautiful, I knew, like what he did and I didn't think anything else and I was just like all right, cool. So we didn't talk about colleges. So this means like oh, where'd you go to school? Oh, no, no, yeah, he's like what do you do? And I was like I'm a lawyer. He's like oh, it's awesome, like where'd you go to school? Or like whatever. And I was like, oh, it's Harvard.
Courtney Gilroy:He was like oh shit, we probably could have met each other and I was like and I'm like it's like a couple drinks deep or probably like talking for like an hour and like I don't even know what we're talking about. But like now we got into the conversation like what do you do for work, and I was like, um, what do you mean? We got to met each other and he's like Well, I got accepted there a full ride. No, not full ride, he got accepted there. I don't think it was a full ride. But like he got accepted to west point full ride.
Courtney Gilroy:And I remember just looking at him and I go so like the thing is, you're smart and, um, I like I lied, I didn't even go to college and uh, I like barely got through high school. So, uh, you're smart, wow, didn't know that. And then I like actually told him I didn't. He was like laughing and he like I think like called me out. He's like like what made you think like whatever I was, like I don't know, I just like, literally could have fooled me. I thought you were just gonna be like some jock, like douchebag, whatever, and like he wasn't, like, I will say like very, very put together, very respectful guy, very nice. Um, yeah, lesson of the night.
Courtney Gilroy:Lesson of the night don't judge a book by its cover.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):And then don't lie about your identity.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, and so.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Just having fun, yeah, so cue the fun part. We we had a good time. We had a good time.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, we could skip past that because parents anyway. And then we ran into each other again during the national trip. So again we Asked, like we literally actually bullshitted and talked to like four in the morning like about just life and just like Relationships and whatever. I'm like honestly, I'll say like it's so nice to like not have any expectations. I did not think I was ever gonna see this kid again ever after this trip. I was like maybe if he ever comes to Jersey I'll see him. Whatever. Never did. I think I was gonna go visit there. Like I had no expectations. So it's very nice to just have such raw conversations and fully be myself. So I was like all right, left the night. I was like if I, if you're ever in Jersey, hit me up, blah, blah, whatever. And he's like you got it so nice to meet you, blah blah.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):We run into each other.
Courtney Gilroy:We'll never see each other again, yeah we run into each other like two days later, which he said that he saw me the day after which I didn't see him. And yeah, he said he saw me and I was like, okay, I actually reached out to him and I was like, oh, meet me here. And I ended up falling asleep. So I never met up with him and then the next day I forgot where we were. We were at like a random bar. I think we're at Dirk's Bentley. Yeah, we were at Dirk's Bentley and I remember going upstairs and I like walked in and I saw his friends and I'm like, oh fuck, like this is awkward, like and Nashville is very big but it's also small, so you don't really think you're gonna run into someone. So, yeah, um ran into him again and let's just say afterwards he kept in contact with his job. Um, he can't really leave like, he Can't really just like up and leave, like if he did, it was just kind of like local what like.
Courtney Gilroy:He's an army yeah. Yeah, um he can't like, yeah, if anything he could do, like driving things, but yeah, so I remember, um, I called him once in January and I was like, just like on a whim, like I went to dinner and I was just like this is like October and now we're in January. Never once called him.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Nothing and I drunk. What were you drunk? I had a couple glasses of wine. Okay, so you, you had some liquid courage in here. I was feeling myself was like you know what I want to fucking see this kid.
Courtney Gilroy:So I remember I was like, what did the odd you come to Jersey? He was like what? And I was like come to Jersey. And he's like, honestly, if I do, it has to be like end of January and I was like, all right, and I was free that weekend. I was like come, this is a great. It's not that easy, like I have to put in a request or whatever. So he came to visit me and now this is where you don't know someone and and you're spending a weekend with them. You're about to freaking, like get to know them, like saying in a hotel with you're saying in a hotel that you're asleep.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):You know how they sleep. Get ready at night. Everything like morning.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, like everything. So like we I feel like got to know each other fast. So like that trip, we like every time like we would go out like or visit each other, like we always have like a date night like. So we like did a date night and then like we did like a night out Like we only had he flew in like Friday night and got like late at like 12 30, and we didn't even like did we got? No, we didn't go out. We actually got locked out of the hotel room. So imagine not seeing someone. Yeah, imagine not seeing someone not even knowing them.
Courtney Gilroy:Oh, this is funny. So, like the hotel room doors have like those like locks that like like push open, like this, we went to get ice because they sent a champagne to the room and why'd you both have to go get the ice? Well, he just walked out. I don't know, we were just like bullshitting, talking like I'll just come with you like down the hallway, like we were literally just talking, catching up, the Like. It's only happened one other time in this like hotel and why do you know the staff? We had to go down.
Courtney Gilroy:Mind you, I have lingerie on underneath a sweatshirt, I have stuff hands on and I'm like ready to see this kid after not seeing him for like six months, or not even six months. Oh, my god, I was thinking. I was thinking the last time, after two months, I was thinking, okay, anyway, I'll get there, I'll get there. So I um, yeah, we got locked out. We have no shoes on, we have to go to the lobby and we're like we have to get into this hotel room. Like we're locked out, like we like legit it. Just like they had to have an engineer come like on site that had a tool for just in cases happened. It took a guy an hour to get us back in. Oh my gosh, so we finally get back in with the stranger.
Courtney Gilroy:Well like literally like I'm like I don't even know this kid like this is so embarrassing, like whatever. So we just like hit it off and like we really genuinely like I don't know. We just like had such a like a vibe together. So, um, at that time we didn't know when we were gonna see each other again because he was in the training and I knew he was gonna go away. Um, he was going away to ranger school. So we didn't know when he was going away. Um, so we didn't have any like set plans. But he was just like listen, like it was just like a fun thing, it was just fun when we saw each other, we saw each other and whatever.
Courtney Gilroy:So after, um, after that trip, we kept in contact and now he actually went to ranger school and this was May, april and either April or May, I can't remember exactly April or May. So we Didn't talk for like a couple months. And he said after that I actually had a trip planned To georgia and that's where he was stationed. And I was like, listen, if you're out and I'm already gonna be there. So I just didn't book a flight home and I was like, if you're out, when I'm there, I'll just come visit you and he was like all right, I'm down for that, so fast forward. He gets out of ranger, hits me up, he passes, we keep in contact, whatever. Um, he was in philly when I was on my way to ocean city and I stopped by to go see him.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, and we met and we haven't seen each other at this point it was six months and it was like it was like no time passed, like we were like again, just hit it off. Whatever. He's like dude, I'm excited to see you when you come to georgia. I'm like great again. No expectations. I never even asked him what it was, it was just fun for me. I was like great, like You're handsome, you're a good person. We just talked, like it was just. I never said like are you talking to anyone else? I don't care, I didn't want to know.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):So fast forward, I'd say that you didn't care. You, I care, but also too like I was talking to people too. Yeah, so like.
Courtney Gilroy:I can't say anything Like I was. How can you get mad at someone for doing something when you know you're doing the same thing? So, like there was people that I would text like you know, like it wasn't a serious thing. We didn't know if you counted how many times we hung out.
Courtney Gilroy:It was like, yeah, minimal like 10 maybe so Now, this is where we really started to like get to know each other. So, um, I went there in the beginning of august and he I was staying on base with him and he was like, oh, by the way, I'm coming to jersey for your birthday. And I was like what? Because we talked about doing a trip. And I was like I like casually said I was like, oh, come to jersey for my birthday. And I didn't really bring it back up and he booked it and he surprised me and I was like, oh shit, like this kid likes me, like what. And I'm like, again, I've been out of the game for a while, like I, okay, voldemort, I was with him, not even a couple months. I was like dated him, like officially officially together for three months, two or three months unofficially together five years.
Courtney Gilroy:We were an on again, off again. So, like I never I I was so used to that. So that's where my natural girls trip came into play and yeah, it was just it. Yeah, it was a good time. And so now this is like my first something that I genuinely took more serious and I was like, oh shit, I don't even not act, like what. So I remember we just had like a conversation about just like whatever, at this point, none of your business kind of started. Um, I posted them like briefly but like Like very randomly.
Courtney Gilroy:So at this point I was spending like days with him and people were like wait, what are you doing in georgia? Like I was getting messages, I was like you know, and then like we've gone like a date and then like I posted, like none of your business. I went to a fight and he showed up, so like I posted that Um, so yeah, I kind of like became a thing.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):You were planning.
Courtney Gilroy:No, no, yeah, he, you guys, this whole time we had that plan, like I having, yeah where you would meet up and like see each other.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Yeah just like they get, so casually happened to be at the same fight in a different state.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, yeah, no, no, I my one friend was like, had the fight till, like he met up with us there.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):We were both putting effort into it, yeah and yeah.
Courtney Gilroy:So then we hit it off and he came to visit me for my birthday. Um had a great weekend and then I surprised, someone actually went back with him to georgia and at this point we knew that he was moving. So we knew he was moving. So it was already a long distance thing, which, yeah, it's hard and also too like he. When we met, we like we both were getting out of something like granted, mine was a very long time coming, his was very soon. So it was, he wasn't ready for anything and I knew that and I was just like whatever.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):So, again, we hit it off and also remember that he is. He's younger than me.
Courtney Gilroy:He's younger than me. I'm a cougar, I'm not even gonna lie.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):I'm not even gonna lie guys and yeah so it was the age difference like five years yeah he's 23.
Courtney Gilroy:I'm 28 Cougar, courtney Cougar, anyway. So, yeah, I mean I'm giving you guys full. This was my summer and I had a good summer and like this is also, it was very hard to come visit staff because I Time I had to travel or whatever my free weekends I was going over there. I got stuck there an extra couple days. I was very interesting, yeah, um, I knew that he was moving, so he was actually moving to Texas and it was not gonna be easier and he was now getting into his role of work and I was like you know what this and honestly too, like we had a fun time and I definitely learned a lot about myself and that is something I Do take on any relationship I've been in is.
Courtney Gilroy:I don't get sad about it anymore. I think about what did I learn from that person and who have I become from it? And I will say, like he brought out the confidence in me in the sense of like I Lost a lot of my confidence with Voldemort because I was just chasing and chasing and chasing for years and there was a lot of shit that we went through, and again he gave me full permission to share a lot of this. Like there is a lot like he was. We were single, we weren't in a relationship, but he Was doing his thing and I would find out about it and it would crush me and I was like you know, I love this person.
Courtney Gilroy:Like why can't we make it work? And then things wouldn't work out and then we would come back and it was just like why can't we make this work, though? Like what's wrong with me? Why doesn't this guy want to be with me? And I'll say that none of your business came into my life for a lot of reasons and I never felt Like. I never felt like that, like I never I felt so confident and I felt so Cared for and just like I don't know, I just I learned a lot. And even just like a romantic aspect of like we like dance together randomly, like I thought that was like so sweet, it was so cute, it was so sweet. I'm like wait, I never had a once.
Courtney Gilroy:Yeah, I was like Literally like actually, and I was like wait, this is so cute, or like, hey, I'm coming to see you and I'm like what? Like it was Just fun, it was like a good time. So, fast forward to this is actually October. He moved and I don't know, I just had, I just had this gut feeling and there was nothing. It was nothing bad and we had a conversation, it was honest and I was just like I Thought back to me at 23 and I was not ready. I was not ready for relationship, yeah, and also, too is gonna get hard.
Courtney Gilroy:And the age difference is it. You know, I'm 28. I think it's a lot different if he was older than me. It's a lot of pressure. He still has a couple years left and it was just a lot and I just think that we both just like we had a good time and I think that we both knew that. And he just comes in and at some point. So it was like better to do it and we had an honest conversation. There was nothing like, and he even made sure to be like I hope you know this isn't you like, this is on you, and I was like dude, like I get it, like I respect you like, like I know if I called him, and like we're cool, like we're totally cool. Oh, actually I Don't know.
Courtney Gilroy:So no, that's okay so that's where we left off. So I am single. I am now gonna take this time to honestly.
Stephanie Orlando (Slando):Just going to take this time. I'm just gonna date like I'm gonna have fun. I'm officially putting out a statement At this time. I'm going to take put in your applications no no accepting dog dad. I'm dead.
Courtney Gilroy:I don't have a dog, but yeah, no, I just I learned a lot about myself. It was a good time, I had a great summer. So that is my update and that is the story of how I even had met none of your business and how it all came to play. It was really a no expectation thing and turned it to something that I didn't think it was gonna be and we had a great time.
Courtney Gilroy:And Now, um, back out there and now I'm just gonna, I really do on, I'm in a place right now. I'm just like taking my time, like I know what I want and I like so went off on a tangent a little bit.

Back on, we were going to talk about a lot of fun things and she's gonna give you guys a lot of advice on nutrition, because this is what my girl does.
Courtney Gilroy:But I'll say I value our friendship and you've been there with me through a lot, as I've been there with you through a lot, and I appreciate that you've always allowed me to live my life without feeling like you're gonna judge me and that is so important and like for me. I don't know if anybody has those friends that you just feel judged. I just feel like you need. You need friends in your circle that they don't judge you, they don't want to compete with you, they just genuinely want to see you succeed and that is always us yeah my face might look like it's dodging, but I'm not judging if you guys watch this video podcast or on youtube.
Courtney Gilroy:I'm sure that. I have resting bitch face we do have resting bitch, yeah, yeah, but we're definitely gonna listening face yeah, it is, even though she's heard the stories like 800 times but I'm yawning out here because we're tired from last night.

If you really got to the end of this podcast, I want to let you guys know this entire time me holding this microphone has been fake.
Courtney Gilroy:It's not actually plugged to something, because loud enough that I'm, loud enough that I'm going off of steps mic and she talks softer, so I figured she should have that.
