What is the main topic of this episode?
Hello and welcome to Normal Gossip. I'm your host, Rachel Hampton, and in each episode of this podcast, we're going to bring you an anonymous morsel of gossip from the real world. Welcome to episode seven, y'all. We've only got three more episodes of season eight after this week, if you can believe it. But have no fear, if you want more Normal Gossip in your life, then I have got some incredibly exciting news. This September, Ciara and I are bringing Normal Gossip to nine different cities. We are stopping in New York. Boston, Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Denver, Dallas, Austin, Chicago, and Minneapolis. Tickets went on sale to the public on Friday, May 9th.
What exciting news does Rachelle share about Normal Gossip?
So that means if you are listening right now and live in any of those cities, you can go buy a ticket immediately at normalgossiplive.com. Every show has exclusive VIP tickets that include a meet and greet with Sierra and I, so I hope you're all planning what delicious little morsels of gossip you're going to be bringing us. That is all the housekeeping for today's show. Now, on to the gossip. Today, I am so excited to have none other than Sam Sanders joining me for the First repeat performance of this season. Sam was on the very first season of Normal Gossip in an episode called Digmatize. Sam is a multi-hyphenate. You might know him from any of the many shows he has created and hosted. Currently, though, you can hear him on Vibe Check with Saeed Jones and Zach Stafford.
And also, you can, of course, hear Sam Sanders on the Sam Sanders Show on KRCW. Hi, Sam. Thank you so much for joining me and welcome back.
It is so good to be here. I remember being on an episode in season one and I had so much fun because I remember it being about a straight male bartender who was messy. And I remember saying, aren't all straight male bartenders messy? Yes.
You did. You did. You said the red flag was that he was tall, that he was cute, and that he was a bartender. And ever since then, whenever I see a tall, cute bartender, I say, I shouldn't.
Molly, you in danger, girl.
Exactly. We, me and you, are part of a very exclusive group, which is the people who were guests on the very first season of Normal Gossip. We were on the train before everyone else. How does it feel to be a Normal Gossip hipster?
Listen, what do I feel like knowing that I was an OG?
Yeah.
It feels good. It feels iconic. And I don't want to be one of those gatekeepers. All are welcome in. Just know...
We had good taste first. Yes.
There you go.
Exactly.
Pay respect to your elders.
No exclusion here. Just recognize who paved the way. Recognize who saw the vision. It was Kelsey and then it was us.
Come on. Come on. This is us. This is us.
You've obviously already answered the question of what your relationship to gossip is. You said that gossip is a check on making sure that group norms are followed, which I love. But I wanted to ask, do you feel like your relationship to gossip has changed at all since 2022?
It has. And I'll tell you how. It's going to get a little deep, but trust me, it's not too deep. Your team reached out. And they were like, we want to talk to you about what kind of gossip you're experiencing now. And I have been having a lot of moments gossiping about the dead. Oh, yeah. And I never considered talking about the dead to be gossip. But like it is the definition of gossip is talking about someone who isn't there making them the third person. Yeah, I've been doing that a lot with my mother. She passed away maybe two years ago. She'd been sick for a while. It was time. We're glad she's at rest. But as soon as she died, people began to tell me stories about her that I'd never heard before.
Oh, my God.
