When did you become friends? Talk, walk me through the the high school. We are definitely like sisters, still like friends. We never have really fought.

Like, screaming, crying, everything.

Yeah, we're like, we hang out every day, basically. yeah, like our friend group is the same, we're like, a. It was like Sydney.

Went through a like a gnarly relationship and then got out of it and I feel like we weren't close at all during that relationship. And it really made me be like, Oh my gosh, okay, once she's out of this, like, I can't. It showed me, like, what I? I almost lost my sister. I felt like as like in my life, and I was like, I'm never letting this happen again.

Yeah, we became really close. Yeah, did you feel that too? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, friends are friends like it, they're not your blood, the fact you guys are friends and your blood.

Yeah, I think we forget sometimes, and our friends sometimes, like I'll forget. You guys are like sisters, like we hang out with, like sisters, like it doesn't feel like, but it's we'll also do, like our bickering fights about, like, just.

Sister and our friends.

But it'll last like five minutes, then we'll be like, should we go get dinner?

I.

Want to get an idea of your personalities but described by the other Devin? You go first. Describe Sidney's personality and how like friends view her, and like, who is she in the friend group? And like, what is her personality?

Give it a fucking yeah. Sidney is like the funny, the funny one. She's like the funniest one out of all of our friends. Like it's. Sidney can never be serious for more than like, five seconds. She's perfect.

Like, she's humor and monotone is the fucking fun, that's what she is. When you're like, What did you do? you're like, absolutely, yeah. I think we get already got to know you a little better. Yeah, now, do it for Devin.

Devin's not the quiet one.

She.

Can be put in a room with complete strangers and walk out with ten friends. Ten new numbers, going lunch plans. Like, she, we're, Oh, that's Sidney, No, oh my god.

And you're like the first one, if you're walking the door, you're talking.

She's following you with, like, hilarious joke. Yeah, the joke was exactly, people get to meet us, they'd always be like.

This is reality, appreciate it. We, we work perfectly together, your sisters, your best friends and your business partners. Your company. Wildflower creates the best phone cases, I'm pretty sure.

Oh my, I came over before you came over to a look, Oh my God.

Yes, and you broke the latex outfit? Oh my God, I did.

I didn't know anyone. So nice you're like, show us your vagina.

We were like.

Drunk at the music? Yeah, yeah, he was like crushing it. Yeah, yeah.

Tell us the story for the daddy gang that doesn't know well. It happened ten years ago. Now we just celebrated our 10-year anniversary. Thank you. It's crazy shit, very crazy. Um, my. I really wanted a phone case for my birthday and there was like iPhones had just come out, so there wasn't really cute accessory phone cases.

Otter box.

Just like just to cover your phone. And our mom has always been very creative and crafty. She was making like the shorts with like the studs on them and putting like sewing fabric on them. Like, she's always just a very like DIY. She was an art teacher, she just like loves doing stuff like that.

Company or anything, we literally were just like, and it wasn't an idea to make it a company. Yeah, we just really go. We'll tell our mom what type of fabric to buy and like, what stud patterns. It's supposed to happen. Literally didn't.

Yeah.

One day, yeah, keeping him on her. And we went out to dinner, the four of us, the four of us family. And we got up to use the bathroom and we were waiting in line. And Miley Cyrus walked out of the bathroom stall, and this was like Miley's bun era. Yeah, like, and I was the biggest Hannah Montana fan. Like girls at school knew me as the girl who was obsessed with him. Yeah, like, yeah, my obsession. She walked out and was like, like, wait, and I was like, this is my in, I have to say something.

Took it with the phone that had the phone case on it, and Miley was like, that phone case is so cute. Where is it from? And we were like, our mom made it. She was like, Does she have a company? We're like, No, and she said, Is your mom here?

What are they doing? Like, what? There was a girl we went to school with, tweeting, Yeah, she's like, Shit, what is going on?

And we, she Miley taps our mom on the shoulder and it's like, Did you make these phone cases? Like, they're so cute? And we were like, Yeah? And she was like, you guys should start a business like this is really cool, this is really cool idea.

Tagged me in her tweet, Everyone started, and this was like, 2012 Twitter. Like no one, it was unheard of to get mentioned by, like, yeah, anyone like a celebrity or anything like that. And so, and all of our phones had died.

So we didn't even know we're driving home like freaking out, waiting to get a phone charger. All of us plug our phones in. We're like, and everyone from school is texting, texting us like, what's this tweet? My dad stays up all night that night.

I mean, when Miley Cyrus fucking looks at you, it is like, you need to have a company, and your dad's like, there will.

So when we started tweeting, like responding to people like wildflower cases, calm, we had all the inventory, we had nothing. We ended up selling our house and that funded all of wildflower. And we moved into our grandma and grandpa's house, and we still ran all of wildflower for the first five years inside of our house, and.

Yeah, I quit my job, first I did, our mom quit her job, and then our dad. When he did, we were like.

Okay, this is like, real, this is real. So we like, I tried to go to college. I really was like, kind of embarrassed about, like it was weird, because no one's was starting companies like.

I can kind of see that, cuz they're like, what are you doing? And it was like, No.

It was very like, you're not going to college and we're like.

I had one friend in high school throughout all of this because they had thought it was different and weird and like it, it wasn't the normal.

It was a lot of just like making fun, like, like, oh yeah, like, whatever.

We would, I like, posting on Instagram. Yeah, I think people that are now beginning the tick-tock phase. Yeah, feeling embarrassed that it's like kids find their tick-tock right? Because people like, Oh, it's embarrassing, and it's like, No, it's not. Yeah, is it a very normal? Have you guys ever talked to Miley about that? Like, whole blow up in moment.

I did recent, not like recently. Beginning of this year. One of our friends was working with her and I got the opportunity to, like, meet her and hang out with her.

We saw her a lot. Yeah, really great and really cool.

And I just kept being like, I owe so much to you, like you don't understand.

It's really fucking cool to see how much you guys have grown and also how close you guys are. So it hasn't broken up the family. No, if anything, it was like, our family depends on this.

So if not everyone's not holding up their part of the bargain, like, yeah, then we're not gonna have a roof over our heads. So it was like, literally we had to work. I mean, I feel like now we're at a point where we've been able that we're lucky enough to build a team that we're like, we genuinely trust and have been able to delegate enough stuff out. So now it's like, I feel like I'm actually starting to live my college years and I like, worked through my real yeah. But I mean, it's just so like, endlessly happy and grateful, and like, just it's still very surreal.

We're gonna talk about your dating.

I.

Mean, I go back and forth between, Okay, okay, I'm gonna give you each the love and the attention that you deserve. Devin, we're starting with you.

Blushing, he.

He's really, he's like.

Yeah, thank you for sharing. Can you give us a little bit of an explanation when you're talking about, like, a wild year?

Just a little bit of what you're talking. I was just like, zero fucks, like I'll go on a date with anyone right now, like.

Just.

Really throwing myself out there and making up for lost time and having so much fun, good for you. I kept being like nervous, that no one, like no one, was gonna like, like me, or, hey, don't I? I was so insecure about it.

First, it's a little shocking to end that, whether it was like a good breakup, bad breakup, it's like, I'm single. What does it even mean?

Yeah, I just kept being like, scared that people were think that I was like thinking I was being crazy. But in my head, I'm like, I've never really done this. Yeah, there's no way that I'm being crazy.

Did you think she was being crazy? Yes, No, I thought I thought she was more crazy. At the end of your relationship, okay, then out of it, so you were happy.

Free, right? Do you think you're more of a relationship girl? I think for being single?

Yeah, from like the moments that I was single, I just kept finding myself like in real, like, like.

Situations Yeah, are you single? I'm single? are you more a relationship girl or single girl?

Well, I don't know, because, like, she's a the type of relationship girl where she will get in multiple relationships very easily. Yeah, I might be a relationship type of person, but I don't get into them very often at all. Even in like high school. She had a different boyfriend every month. I think I had one, maybe all four years, like I just. It takes me a lot to get to that point to actually date someone.

Everyone's got their own thing, like I have friends like, and that works for her totally.

She's just so harsh and it's like, but the thing is, the things that she says aren't like, not true, like she'll. She would bring up things about like a guy I was seeing, and I was like, like, I was. A guy was dropping me off at a hotel. And she was like, I thought it was your, or she goes up to him and goes, I thought you were her Uber driver.

And he was like, Hey, I was like, Oh, I thought you were the Uber. I said then that afterwards, I was like, Oh my God, I called him the Uber driver. Was he, like, mortified? He needed it, he needed to be humbled.

Okay, so you will call out shit about the guy she's seeing, yeah?

She will literally be sitting on my couch and being like, make me a latte. Oh, and he did this guy.

She was like, I was like, I want a smoothie, and he made me a smoothie and he put chocolate chips in it.

Why do you do that? Just like test the like boundaries?

I just like, it's very entertaining for me to watch all of this happen, so it's just like I'm like watching TV. And like, right, can be a part of it.

How does it make you feel when she's doing this?

I just love when my sister interacts with any guy that I've seen at all because I feel like it takes a lot for her to be herself around people. Okay, right? And that's why I like the new guy that I that I'm with. The fact that she can, like, be her funny self around him, like, means more to me than like almost anything. But I just could think I care a lot what my friends think like. If my friends don't like someone, I'm pretty like.

I have been on one date my whole life. Are you in style?

Said that she's like, I don't go on dates like, I'll see you at like, hide or like.

She, I guess, I guess I stopped, I guess I, I don't, I don't know, I just. I have never been interested in that type of dating, like going on dates with new people.

I guess went on one day and she was like group chatting us like, who's gonna come meet up with us now? Like, because I was.

Instantly not into it, and I knew I wasn't into it. I just, I guess that. Also, I rarely find people that I feel like I could date seriously, I don't know. There's some people that I'm like, Okay, I, there's something about this person that I could like, but that happens very rarely.

How would you each describe each other's type?

I'm curious what you will say.

Sydney likes like, Well, they have to be funny, okay?

Funnier than you.

Sydney has to find them funny, okay, which is like unique sense of humor.

But she likes like.

What's the nicest way to put it?

I would agree, that's a funny way to describe it. how would you describe it? I just like, I'm really attracted to men who are, like, very comfortable in themselves and who they are and like.

No, I find it, I just find like when Sydney said, like when someone's so themselves like that to me is so attractive, like when they just don't. Like, they aren't trying to impress anyone. It and I think that they're cool, like, I just think that that's, yeah, I find them interesting. But like the musician part, I think dating wise, my lifestyle just works well with someone who's like, like, our schedules usually work better when it's like we're constantly both traveling.

You're a backstage bitch, that's fucking backstage lifestyle. We were dancers.

We like music, but it's just funny because I'm literally like, I like the music that I like. It's never really like the guys that I write.

You kind of talked about how you had an intense relationship that you guys had a little, like not falling out, but you just kind of pause in your relationship. Devin, how did you approach handling when you didn't like who Sydney was dating? We just did not talk about it, but I knew.

But it was more so because my boyfriend and her boyfriend weren't like, didn't really mesh, and he was like they didn't ever want to be in the same place. So it not because anything had happened, it was more just like, didn't like, no con, no communication was the communication, so it was just constantly avoiding each other.

Outside of that, and did your parents know what was going on? Yeah, yeah, they weren't too fond of him either. I don't think anybody was, but I also think everyone has to have a relationship like that. It was like such an insane experience, but I'm so glad it happened like I've forever.

Like, they answer each other's first boyfriend and girlfriend, and they've, they're still together.

They're like, so growing up, that was like my view of what love is like. You find that one and you do anything to make it work, which is amazing. And I'm so glad we have that and that they have that. But also getting into a relationship like that, I'm like, I will fight for this.

I thank you for sharing that because I had something similar in high school that was like my first love. And I really think a lot of people were will relate to. Like, the good is like in moments, because it's so good, because you're contrasting the awfulness of those moments, and so you're like, holding on to the good. And I think that, like, I mean, everyone knows, once you're out of it, you're like, Oh, I did distance myself from my friends and family. Yeah, you can look back, but when you're fucking in it, it's literally you're just trying, you're blinded.

You're like, I had no idea, and it honestly took a few years out of that to just get back to like myself. I like, I didn't even think about dating or like seeing other people. I was just like, Okay, I need to get back to like myself and like my friends and my family, and like, focus on myself.

Have you guys had conversations about, like, fuck, we can never let this happen to each other again, and like, lose each other in those.

Moments Yeah, I was pretty like when she when I she called me and I was at breakfast with my boyfriend, she was like, he cheated on me. We just broke up and I dropped everything, didn't even finish my meal and just immediately drove home. I called our.

The girl, Well, the last time.

The.

Girl DM me, Oh, and it was class he was. He was also a musician but was on tour and it happened somewhere and she, like, sent me photos in his shirt.

I was like that feeling when you find out and you're like, I don't even know what to do with myself right now.

Oh my God, my stomach. I like all my anxiety, everything goes to my stomach. Which is why I think it made me like, just not eat, because that's immediately what I feels in my stomach. And I was like, so lost because I didn't have close friends, I barely talked to my family.

Then you look back and you're like, Thank fucking God, yeah, I am, because if it wasn't that, I may have still been in that shit and look where you are fucking now.

Yeah, I have like, 10, of course, I have, like, I'm like, how many do I have, I have like this?

You have your finstead, you're a stalker. Oh, I am.

Psycho, we tell me, Yes, I I love it. Oh, she actually is, I, I love that like.

Well, no.

I win. My ex-boyfriend used to go on tour when we got back, cuz we dated. We broke up, then we got back together and that was like the seventh year. Yeah, in the beginning was a fucking maniac, I don't know how he put up with me.

I actually really respect you for admitting it because I think there's no shame in stalking like, Who gives a fuck?

It's too, everyone does it, everyone say you don't, you're lying, I know every like, even.

This guy that I had gone on a few dates, but he like DM me and it was the first time that I had gone and met up with someone over DM. That I didn't previously know. But like, he knew people that I knew and whatever, and so I was like, Okay, and we hung out. And he's like, So we're just gonna act like we haven't, like completely.

No, it's just like, whatever, well, because it's also like, let's just keep it real. I know who your ex-girlfriend is, all right, and this is our first date. Yeah, and I know who she is, where she, where she works, like it.

He gets away with everything I always got in trouble for. It's she always 50 times crazier things.

But I always get the youngest child, Yeah, that's just the youngest thing.

Which sister is more likely to take something from the other sister's closet without asking?

Well, cuz I just I want to avoid. The thing is, I'm like, if I ask, it's gonna start drama before the night goes out or whatever, okay, I would rather postpone the drama and deal with it later. So I can just feel good. Where the top that I want to wear and then I think I could steal it and get.

Away with it, I feel like you would a sneaky little bit.

Okay, which sister is more likely to post drunk on Instagram?

Used to be me, but I feel like.

What are you drunkenly? You just not give a fuck, you're like, post like, Suppose she just does? I'll just think something's so funny.

I'd be like, Yeah, this is my bit, and then the next morning I'm like, What are you doing?

Yeah, but then I'm like, it's too late, you can't, yeah, right, cuz then they know you were right and then you can't delete it.

Which sister is more likely to give better head?

Then he's like, like, I don't go on dates, remember, on the first hangout?

Like, that doesn't, but I guess she goes on more dates, more. Okay, there you go, there you go.

Vegas, Yeah, and we're, I went with, like some of my old dance friends. And we kept knocking over the champagne. And the guy picked up the bottle and he goes, you're done.

And we were like, not even just because she keeps knocking, but I feel like you guys are so connected.

No, it's cute. I think we should normalize, like, cute shit for relationships like, Oh, you're right, fuck up, yeah.

But I?

Think the toxic that I'm attracted to is like someone who's like, good with their words, or like, knows is witty. I think that people like that just know how to get what they want, and I think that.

That's like a scary combo.

Energy You are giving me something, then I'm gonna give it back. But like, slightly more to the point of, like, right? We're gonna drive each other absolutely insane.

Lastly, who has, like, a crazy fucking dating story, whether it was a one-night stand, whether it was a bad hook-up gone wrong, bad sex.

I have, like, a really like. It should be a bad date, but it ended up being a good day. Share it, share it.

We're here for it, we love story time.

I was like, I can't believe you were an hour and a half late. Yeah, and so we ended up going on this date and I was just like, zero fucks at this point.

He's the one I called a new, are you?

Fucking serious, and he starts dying, laughing. And I just kept being like, I'm so excited to see how you make this up for me, cuz I'm like, I'm not gonna let this go. So I pay for dinner.

Then?

He's like, Okay, well, let me I'll drive you home back to your one block away. And I'm like, Sitting here, I'm like, Oh my God, I'm such a princess. We go outside, his car is towed.
