SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_02:

Okay, well.

SPEAKER_03:

Welcome back to the A-less podcast with Allison and Alex. I'm Allison. He's Alex. Did I do that right that time?

SPEAKER_04:

Well, you were right every time. It was me.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay, because I was when I was editing, I also was like, what did we do differently?

SPEAKER_04:

It was me. It was me. And this time was correct.

SPEAKER_03:

I do have a little note from a comment from the last episode that my symptoms I was having sounded migraine related. Yes. And I want to know, as someone who doesn't get chronic migraines, do you can you just get a migraine? Like you don't have to have like a migraine related illness. Like uh, sorry, what am I trying to say?

SPEAKER_04:

I'm just saying, like I have had them my whole life. Like it's genetic.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, like you have a chronic migraine thing, but can you just have one off migraines? I feel like no.

SPEAKER_04:

No, I don't know, actually. I feel like you probably can.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know.

SPEAKER_04:

Because I know like when sometimes when women get pregnant, though when women get pregnant, when women get pregnant, okay. They'll start getting migraines, they can.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

Well it could have been, or it could have been like a or I could have just not had enough water. That and then maybe like a tension headache. Because those sit deep too.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I mean, how do you know? Stanley's just staring at me.

SPEAKER_04:

What do you want?

SPEAKER_03:

But I also what when was that? Sunday? What is today? Wednesday?

SPEAKER_04:

No, Thursday.

SPEAKER_03:

Thursday. I might have been starting to ovulate.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, congratulations.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, because I like have like an app or whatever and it like tells you.

SPEAKER_04:

Um is it called ovulation station?

SPEAKER_03:

No, but wouldn't that have been good?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, the app you mean? Yeah. No. This app is like kind of weird. It's like I paid for it, which I like don't know about. It's called Stardust.

SPEAKER_04:

When it's always having to pay for things to know what their markets are doing.

SPEAKER_03:

No, it's called Stardust. And I accidentally paid for it because I had the free trial, you know. And then it just like it's very like celestial and like astrology, which I don't know how that goes with menstrual cycles. Oh this is not an ad, by the way. I paid for it with my own money on accident.

SPEAKER_04:

Whoops.

SPEAKER_03:

But it like will tell you. Okay, so like today, cycle day 17 of 32. I'm just like telling everyone my cycle.

SPEAKER_04:

Wait, you have a 32-day cycle?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, sometimes like whatever your average is, it will.

SPEAKER_04:

So like you're on your period for 32 days.

SPEAKER_03:

No, no, no, no. That's your full cycle. Oh. That's like that's including the follicular, the luteal, the ovulation. Those are all phases during the So a phase is always happening in a woman's body. Yes.

SPEAKER_04:

Whoa.

SPEAKER_03:

So like they that like when the doctors and stuff, they say like your your period, like your menstrual cycle is like the whole like average amount of time that you normally have. Some people like it's 28 days. If you go a few more, a few less, like it would be that would be the cycle. So I guess my average is 32 days. Okay. Between the end of your last period to the beginning of your next.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03:

So today says uh day 17. This is the good mood phase of your cycle. Your hormones are collaborating to provide focus, energy, and relaxation. Why can't it always be like this?

SPEAKER_04:

Amen.

SPEAKER_03:

I guess. Um, but it kind of like will give you like a how things align in the stars, like gravitational bullshit. Yeah, like my astrology sign, astrological sign is Pisces. Um, you're part of a human daydream, soft, intuitive, tuned into vibes most people miss. You soak up everything around you, which makes others feel safe in your orbit, but it also means you end up carrying feelings that aren't yours. As an emotional sponge, remember to wring yourself out now and then.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

And it says, My archetype is Nightingale. You have an extraordinary gift for reading the room. You ever effortlessly weave warmth and ease into even the most awkward and tense moments, like a metron. Metron? Metron? M-E T R O N. I don't know what that is. And my element is air, which is not. I feel like that'd be water. You're you are the air and space elements personified, whimsical, creative, and always on the go. You bring fresh ideas and a lighthearted spirit to those around you. So I don't know. It like Okay. It like goes with the phases of the moon, pink moon. I don't know. That part, unsure of. Okay. What I did like about it is you can maybe like share with your friends and also your partner. And Josh said, I don't want to be a part of that because like I saw the ad and it was like you can like send your partner can also have the app, and then like they can know what like part you're in.

SPEAKER_04:

That might be helpful for him.

SPEAKER_03:

And like, yeah, no, if like your behavior is a certain way, or like maybe no to like maybe he needs to bring home chocolate that night. Yeah, and he was like, I don't wish for that to download that app. Thank you. Fair, but yeah, I don't know. So I'm guessing I'm paying for it for a year, so we'll see. Okay. But anyway.

SPEAKER_04:

You're Pisces, though, isn't that water bearer? No, no, no, no. I'm the water bearer.

SPEAKER_03:

Pisces is also water.

SPEAKER_04:

No, but I'm the water bearer.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, what does that mean?

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know. I'm Aquarius. I'm an air sign that's a water bearer.

SPEAKER_03:

How would I know?

SPEAKER_04:

Well, I don't like I just know the aquarians are the water bearers. What are the Pisces? They're fishies.

SPEAKER_03:

They're yes. Water.

SPEAKER_04:

It's like Aquarius is to water bearer as Pisces is to what?

SPEAKER_03:

I need my other hand. Okay. Pisces is to the fish. Aquarius is symbolized by the water bearer. Well, Pisces is symbolized by two intertwined fish.

SPEAKER_04:

69.

SPEAKER_03:

Um what? Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04:

Alright, I went down around the water.

SPEAKER_03:

Is that what your the picture is?

SPEAKER_04:

Well, you know Aquarius is those two the two waves.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I just thought water in general.

SPEAKER_04:

Right, but it's water bearer.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay. I guess we're just fish.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay, well. I'm an air sign that belongs in the water. Make it make sense.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Well, are you going off of your like moon or whatever?

SPEAKER_04:

No, that's my son's my son.

SPEAKER_03:

I think my moon is in Leo. I have to go back to my like note from Gaul every time.

SPEAKER_04:

I have influenced another person who has an appointment with him.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh my gosh. Can you tell me who?

SPEAKER_04:

One of Chad's friends that's become my friend.

SPEAKER_03:

Are you gonna go back ever?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, I want to go back. I actually want to go back with boyfriend and do like a couple's reading. It'd be good. How do I start? I also would love to do a past life regression session. Maybe it'll give me some peace.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm kind of scared of that.

SPEAKER_04:

No, maybe it'll empower you. What if it's like, oh my god, Queen Cleopatra?

SPEAKER_03:

That would be fun. I don't know. I I have to know this now that I've said it.

SPEAKER_04:

Search your notes. Stanley, do you have anything to say?

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, I'm spelling it wrong.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

Sun and Pisces, Moon and Leo, Taurus rising. Oh, Taurus. What does moon and Leo mean? We've done this so many times, but I never know. So just like pretend like it's the first time you've heard it. Moon and Leo signifies personality that is warm, creative, and expressive with a deep need for admiration and recognition. I do like, I do like to be I think our words of affirmation girly. Yes, I like to be, yeah, affirmed. I like to be affirmed.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. Affirmative.

SPEAKER_03:

Affirmative. Okay, well, we can move on from that. But it all is to say is maybe the headache was related to the beginning of the as a woman losing blood, you must drink a lot of water. Yeah, and I don't think I had much that day.

SPEAKER_04:

It's been a busy two weeks for you.

SPEAKER_03:

You guys, we are almost to the end of the um marathon, that is. Caleb's been calling it booty army boot camp or a fitness marshal boot camp or something. We are nearing the end. Today we shot our last two pre-recorded videos like on the mountain. So that makes 12. Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_04:

How many of those do you do a month? Because I thought you'd be good for a year with that. I thought you did one a month.

SPEAKER_03:

I think he I think we try to do two a month.

SPEAKER_04:

So that's why you're good for six months.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, that's longer than February, Allison.

SPEAKER_03:

When is the because halfway to February is I think he wants to release one a week in January when we do our January challenge.

SPEAKER_04:

That makes sense.

SPEAKER_03:

So like I think normally it would just be like two a month. Like every other challenge, yeah. The January challenge will be in full force, and I think he wants to do one every week. So that makes sense.

SPEAKER_04:

That makes sense.

SPEAKER_03:

We have a um two more live streams next week, and then we're done with the boot camp. And let me tell you, I am tired. I think it's emotionally like my I think it's like my body hurts, like my neck is has been whipped one too many times. Yeah. And like just like my I don't know. I just my body is just over it. And I'm like turning on personality.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, it's a whole thing.

SPEAKER_03:

Is making me tired.

SPEAKER_04:

And it's a lot to do that.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

I get it.

SPEAKER_03:

And you are too.

SPEAKER_04:

One more time.

SPEAKER_03:

How's your personality?

SPEAKER_04:

How's your how my how my how my personality is? Um it's fine. No, I'm very tired. We've um it's been a I can't I can't give away on guys. I'm sorry, but like this last episode we're shooting, there's just so many components to it. And on top of being in front of the camera, I am also coordinating everything behind the camera, and there's just so many people involved in this last episode that I feel like.

SPEAKER_03:

Tell me, is there a world in which you become like just like you're just working on your and not everyone else's stuff?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, so that will be determined after we see the numbers of how these first like the first three episodes do. Okay, and then like hypothetically in the new year, I can vouch for a new position that would allow me to just hopefully be a video producer only. Okay, which then would let me just work on my show full time and maybe assist here and there on other stuff.

SPEAKER_03:

Um I'd like that for you.

SPEAKER_04:

I would love that for me. Three jobs is a lot, you guys.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

But it has been very fun, and the episode I can talk about it now because it's out when people are listening to this. So this first episode, which at this current moment, everyone is all of my bosses and co-workers that are in charge of the video releases are all still figuring out what to title this because titles of YouTube videos are very good.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, maybe I can give you some options. Okay, probably not, but I'll try.

SPEAKER_04:

YouTube takes it, you know. I mean, BuzzFeed takes it very seriously.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

So it's thumbnail and titles that are happening right now, and um, this episode was so this first episode in the like internally is called Gay and Trying to Build a Cabinet. And this was our test pilot that we shot back in May that was really just meant to see if this idea we had and if the the chemistry between Dylan and I off-camera could translate on camera, and also could we make a good try show that's not like every other try-show? Yeah, but still has that through line of like, will they, won't they? But we don't. Um So right now the working title is Can Two Gay Besties Survive? Can two gay besties keep their keep the friendship while tackling a DIY project? That seems long.

SPEAKER_03:

That's a very long title.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, here's the thing: long titles are apparently super in right now. And who am I to say? We have a whole team there.

SPEAKER_03:

On YouTube?

SPEAKER_04:

On YouTube. We have a whole team there that's job is to know these things. And they're like, I performs better than we. And I was like, well, we're a we, so we're gonna say we. Yeah, how are we gonna um Oh I sent them to Oh, they were a text to Dylan. Here they are. So it's down to can two gay besties stay friends after building the cheapest DIY furniture? Can two gay besties' relationships survive a DIY build? Can two gay besties build the cheapest furniture? We try building the cheapest furniture, but we're gay.

SPEAKER_03:

I like that one.

SPEAKER_04:

That one's funny. It's clickbaity. Um, and then I came up with what I wanted to call it was homo improvement. It's so good.

SPEAKER_02:

That's so good.

SPEAKER_04:

But it's just that title just wouldn't perform well. It has to be like we need gay in it because that's what's gonna make people click. Um but we are they're gonna put it on the thumbnail.

SPEAKER_03:

I like it.

SPEAKER_04:

Because I also came up with HGay TV.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh my gosh, it writes itself.

SPEAKER_04:

I know. And if we were a DIY gay show, funny. But we are this is one episode.

SPEAKER_03:

You're trying, yeah. It's like, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

And I will tell you guys this was never supposed to be released.

SPEAKER_03:

What about just like can two gays build a shelf?

SPEAKER_04:

Or like, can two So really like I think it's gonna land on something versus gays versus because verses do so well for BuzzFeed and it it invokes controversy even though there is none just to like get people to watch. So we'll see. I have no by the time you guys are listening and watching this, it's been out. So you can go see what it was named.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm interested.

SPEAKER_04:

I am too. I am too.

SPEAKER_03:

I can't wait to watch.

SPEAKER_04:

Thank you. And then uh my episode of Feud Feed, which is BuzzFeed's game show, came out as well. And I watched that, and I'm not gonna give it away, but tune in to see if the millennials beat the Gen Z.

SPEAKER_03:

Do you feel like you did well?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, and the cuts they used of me were good because I did say some pretty embarrassing things in there.

SPEAKER_03:

Like while I was in a call and I had to collect the toenails?

SPEAKER_04:

Didn't get into toenails, but cult, yes. Um no, but it's funny, like they they asked all of our like for the millennials what our first like memorable uh internet handle was email address, I'm aim or msn, whatever. Jenga, Zanga.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Oh my gosh. Speaking of like nothing. Speaking of nothing. Speaking of like a nostalgia. Yeah, Josh. Um, on his TV, like there's just like randomly, like the there's a supermarket sweep channel.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

And like he was gone. He I got to his place, but he wasn't there yet. He was like running an errand.

SPEAKER_04:

And did you hide in the closet to scare him? I didn't. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03:

But I turned on the TV and there was like a supermarket sweep like video or like to click on, and I was like, amazing. Perfect. Love to watch this.

SPEAKER_05:

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

And I'm watching it as he walks in and he's like, Did I tell you about supermarket sweep? And I was like, No, I know about supermarket sweep on my own. Yeah. And he's like, no, he's like, I discovered this supermarket sweep channel, and I've been watching it for nine days straight.

SPEAKER_04:

Is there that much content to watch this?

SPEAKER_03:

They're just running it. They are running it.

SPEAKER_04:

That is so funny.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, and so we watched like a couple episodes, and it is fun to watch. They rebooted it, remember? Yes, I did. It wasn't as good. I mean, it was fine, but like there's just something about the like nineties. Hello. There's nineties the nineties outfits, the jeans, the hair. Oh, yeah. They're all like there, there's no filler, there's no Botox, they're like barely have any makeup on. Yeah. There's just something about that. And then like, I don't know, it's just comforting. I guess I really enjoyed watching it.

SPEAKER_04:

That's so funny. And what a cute little couples thing to do.

SPEAKER_03:

Supermarket suite.

SPEAKER_04:

Do you pause it? I'm gonna run to the kitchen.

SPEAKER_03:

I hope you don't think I'd say that. It's not like I need to see every second of it, you know. But um, so yeah, I don't know. That made me think of that. I will say, okay, this is like I don't know. I guess like a lot of people might not know who this person is, but I thought that we needed to talk about it. Internet personality, Tertia Paytas.

SPEAKER_04:

What about her? What's new?

SPEAKER_03:

She um got Aquaman. Aquaman is her son. She got cast to play a character in Beetlejuice on Broadway for a limited run. And really, what I I don't I don't really have thoughts on that. Like they I feel like they do people like this just to get people there often. And like it's it's like not a new thing. So it's like fine. But what I need to talk about is her manifestation ability. Ability.

SPEAKER_04:

I mean this girl.

SPEAKER_03:

And how do we get how do we get it?

SPEAKER_04:

Truly, she's just like, this is what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, like she'll just on her podcast, she'll just be like, I just want, I just feel like I'm gonna get an Arby's brand deal. And then a year later, she's like, I have an Arby's brand deal. And I guess that's like small on the scale because she is an influencer and sure, but she doesn't make it happen. Yeah, but like she just she be things become her personality and then and then they become the real life thing. Because she showed she when it announced was announced, like she like posted on her socials and posted all of these times she talked about wanting to be in Beetlejuice on Broadway, and she's like, my house was decorated like this, and like she has screenshots of her meeting the cast members. I want like just like slide after slide was just like all these things, and I'm like it's her own little vision board, it is, and like she does just like make things her personality, I guess, and that's part of it. Yeah, but I just like there's something in like her brain that just her manifestations come to life, and I just feel like we need to figure that out.

SPEAKER_04:

I agree. So, yeah, I'm working on what should we manifest? Well, I'm working on manifesting a show, it's kind of happening. Yeah, will it be successful? I don't know. Tune in.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh god, don't be so aggressive.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I don't know. And it's also like sometimes when I think about manifesting, like this is also how I felt as a kid. I never wrote in a diary because I was like, what do I have to say?

SPEAKER_04:

Like also weren't you scared someone and read it?

SPEAKER_03:

No, I just thought I didn't have anything interesting to say. Every time I tried, like I would get a diary for you know a birthday or something. Like and I would sit down and I'd be like, Dear diary. I'd be like, ew, that's so cringy to write dear diary for one. And I didn't know how to start it. But then I'd just be like, I went to school today, and then I went, came home, and then I went to soccer practice, and then I did my homework and I went to bed. Like I didn't, I was like, what else do I your hopes, your dreams? Yeah, I just never like knew how to write that down. Like I was just like, who cares what like is going like what's happening? I don't know. I never thought of it a journal.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, but it's their fill mine are filled with sadness. And I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, maybe I was running from that too. I was like, I didn't want it to be memorialized.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, mine was just like I wanted I wanted tangible proof that I knew I was dying so that when I died, people could be like, wow, he tried to tell us.

SPEAKER_02:

That's so drama.

SPEAKER_03:

He's geron.

SPEAKER_04:

And do you ended every entry with Gotta Jet?

SPEAKER_03:

It's very you.

SPEAKER_04:

Isn't it? It's very you. Gotta jet figure.

SPEAKER_03:

Into the sunset.

SPEAKER_04:

Um I I've I got rid of most of my journals, but I kept a couple and then like laminated some pages that are gold. Um, one of them when I was 13 years old, we were camping West Nile height of West Nile terror, and it's a tear-stained page. I remember writing this on the West Nile. No, I thought I had it. There was a lump in my throat, and I knew that that was West. It was it was the effect of West Nile. And I quote, I said, quote, well, got bit by a mosquito three days ago. 24 hours ago, started getting a lump in my throat. Pretty sure it's West Nile. No one believes me. I'm gonna get on my bike and go. Did I?

SPEAKER_01:

Where?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, where Alex to find someone to believe me.

SPEAKER_03:

I feel like it's like uh when you have like the captain's log of like a ship, and they're like they know they're not coming back. And it's just like if anyone's reading this, just know that I tried like just like a Victorian child.

SPEAKER_01:

You are a Victorian child.

SPEAKER_04:

Most depressing entries. One time, one last thing. We went to my grandparents in Florida, and this was at the height of my hypochondria. And we the entry reads something like, When we cross the border into Georgia.

SPEAKER_02:

On the Oregon Trail.

SPEAKER_04:

When we crossed the border into Georgia and we got we got to a rest stop, I was hit with a wall of humidity that my body could not handle. No one believes me that my throat is closing up. My mom has given me some medication, but I can still feel my throat closing up. I don't know what to do.

SPEAKER_03:

Die. There's nothing else but to do. It's weird that we I feel like we have reverse hypochondria. Like when I was a kid, I wasn't really thinking about these things.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, I thought about it all.

SPEAKER_03:

But now as an adult, I am severely hypochondrical.

SPEAKER_04:

I just got it out of my system.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

I believe a lot of it is because I was homeschooled, it was just I was alone so much.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

So I would just sit there and be like, oh, and also I am the most observant person I know. So every little thing that is askew or different or changed, my God. Immediately.

SPEAKER_03:

Now you're just like I think that you accepted death back then. And you and now you're just like listen, whatever.

SPEAKER_04:

I've been I went through a lot, and then we were 9-11 kids too. So it just added to it. I mean, do you remember on 9-11? Wow, this is our 9-11 corner.

SPEAKER_03:

After like 9-11.

SPEAKER_04:

It was like the 12th, the next day. And they started giving certain colors of like they were giving color terror level of threats a color across the nation. And Indiana had a red level for the Indiana popcorn. No, the Indiana Popcorn Factory.

SPEAKER_03:

Heaven forbid.

SPEAKER_04:

And I was like, I didn't have any context.

SPEAKER_03:

That's honestly closer to my hometown than you are.

SPEAKER_04:

But at the time I was just like, doesn't matter, close enough.

SPEAKER_03:

If it's nuclear, I always thought, like, yeah, they're gonna drop a nuclear bomb on Chicago because it's another major city, and then it's it's going to be no.

SPEAKER_04:

I thought it was gonna be the Indiana Popcorn Factory.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh.

SPEAKER_04:

And I was gonna be affected by that. So random. So random. Post 9-11 was the anthrax threat. So then I couldn't get the mail. I was terrified of people getting the mail. I I would cry and beg my mom not to get the mail.

SPEAKER_03:

Honestly, I was worried about. Sorry, there is a hair as there always is somewhere right here, and it's really bothering me.

SPEAKER_04:

No, the anthrax thing like was I feel like the so sorry, I thought everything was killing me.

SPEAKER_03:

Wait, have we ever talked about the girl that I got the tiny bookshop from Brooke?

SPEAKER_04:

The tiny bookshop?

SPEAKER_03:

The game I was playing. I like started playing it because I saw her talk about it. Have we talked about her and how she was convinced herself that she caused 9-11? She is a famous story of hers, Brooke Averick. If you watch her, like um, she's Brooke YouTuber or something? She's a podcaster. Brooke and Connor have a podcast, is the podcast with Connor Woods.

SPEAKER_04:

Yes.

SPEAKER_03:

So her one of her, she is like severe OCD, and like as a kid, it was like, I think she's grown now from it. She might still be, but she's very open about talking about it. But as a kid, it was so severe that she had like done something the night before, like against her parents, or like I don't remember that part of it, but then the next day 9-11 happened and she was fully convinced that she caused her disobedience, 9-11. Yeah, like whatever happened. Yeah, and then like it like it, I don't think it went away. Like people could be like, You did like we promise you didn't do it, and she fully was like, No, I did. So go watch her. Like, look, I think if you Google that, like you can find it, but it's like just I feel like that's very you too. I feel like that's something that definitely would happen to you, and really funny, yeah. But yeah, circling back to manifestation, like we need to get on that.

SPEAKER_05:

I agree.

SPEAKER_03:

And I need to find a way to manifest that like doesn't and it's also like how what I was gonna say earlier is that sometimes when I think about manifesting, I'm like, is it also is the negative, is the opposite gonna happen if I Yes, if you think about it like that, it will. If I ask for all these like things, or if I like say I want these things and it's like you're just being greedy.

SPEAKER_04:

Like also it's not I don't not an expert in manifestation, but what I have been learning and know is like you don't really ask for things, you kind of just start thinking in the mindset that you already are or have those things.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

It's more like um envisioning what your life would look like. So say you're like, I would really like to. This is an example. I have$20,000 left in student loan debt. I would like that to be gone. So now I'm envisioning a life where that has been paid off, and then it then it works itself out because that's just becomes your reality. You have let your you've convinced your brain and your body that it's been paid off, so then it just does because that is how quantum physics works.

SPEAKER_03:

That's quantum physics.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Hmm. The only thing I think about, whoa, my computer's freaking out right now. You know, what I think about quantum physics is in Men in Black when she has the quantum physics book in her hand.

SPEAKER_04:

It is spirituality teaches that science is just spirituality that has they've been able to explain. So like things that like manifestation and stuff, like they spiritual leaders believe one day we will have an understanding and be able to harness it, and then it will just be a part of science because it's a part of quantum physics. But we just don't understand we can't like we can't show like a science, and that is all science is science is just woo-woo explained.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Put that on a t-shirt. I like that.

SPEAKER_04:

Science is just woo-woo explained.

SPEAKER_03:

I remember that I do have an update on my um biopsy. It is benign. And it's a growth. That's it. I don't she said some very long It's a molecular.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

No, that would sound cancerous.

SPEAKER_04:

Sorry.

SPEAKER_03:

But it's not cancerous. And um I'm gonna go back for her to like do something. To remove the rest. Yeah. Okay. But it is not cancerous.

SPEAKER_04:

That is great peace of mind.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. I got that call today and it w I saw the phone ring and I was like, I'm not prepared. Like I had just gotten up and like hadn't even made coffee yet, and I was like, I'm not prepared.

SPEAKER_04:

If it's bad. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Like I was like, what do I do? I'm like alone and I don't know.

SPEAKER_04:

But your natural hair color is coming in, and it's much lighter brown than I thought it was. You have pretty light brown hair.

SPEAKER_03:

I do, thank you.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Do you mean like pretty or like it's pretty light?

SPEAKER_04:

No, it's like pretty, like okay.

SPEAKER_03:

Like I didn't want to be like, I know thanks. But it's pretty light. But it is like also pretty light.

SPEAKER_04:

No, it's a good color. I like that brown.

SPEAKER_03:

Thank you. I don't know about it.

SPEAKER_04:

Are you gonna are you going out your roots on purpose? Like, are you gonna go blonde, do you think?

SPEAKER_03:

No. I have no, I just don't want to pay for like big expensive hair.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm about to do the big chop.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh yeah, you said that. Um I've been just doing the hair gloss, the cousin ass hair gloss. It's nice. So it's probably just coming out now.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, it's nice.

SPEAKER_03:

Thank you.

SPEAKER_04:

Um, how did dodgeball go yesterday?

SPEAKER_03:

Oh my goodness. I crushed it.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, did you? Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I did. I because I didn't play last week, and honestly, the week couple weeks before, I didn't do much. We have like just so many like good like people, like dudes that like can I say like one more time?

SPEAKER_04:

Do it?

SPEAKER_03:

No, we just have a lot of good arms that I feel like I'm unneeded sometimes. But this week we had we were missing a bunch of people, and so honestly, that was better because it was an open a more open court, and I could breathe.

SPEAKER_04:

Did you have enough players?

SPEAKER_03:

We did, but it was just less crowded, and we played Swallows, which is our main that's who we beat in the championship last year. You know, they're rivals. And we crushed it. I mean, we killed, we killed, we beat them like two first two games. I think they won one or two, and then we switched sides, and they were kind of the games went long because we are pretty evenly matched, so we didn't play that many games.

SPEAKER_04:

That's kind of fun though.

SPEAKER_03:

But at the end, there was eight minutes left, and it gets down to a few minutes, and it just is me. It's like me, it's like four of us. Okay. Me, Sid, someone, and Sass. Okay, and they have like two, three, three-ish people. I had to take over the right corner because everyone was out.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

And I'm not really a corner person, but like I guess I if no one else is there, like I just gotta do it. Yeah, and I sniped this guy, and I felt so cool. It was one of those, like as soon as he threw it, I threw it and I hit him on the foot, and he was so mad. I was like, Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

And I guess it's like I was explaining saying that to Josh, and he was like, So you just got someone out. I was like, I feel like it's different when you're like on sniping. Yeah, yeah. So he was like, he was like, You can get people out. Like I've seen you get people out, like I'm happy for you. But like he I made it sound because I texted him, I was like, gotta tell you about my sick like thing I did. Yeah, and he was like, It could good job. Like, he didn't like do anything different, yeah. Um, but yeah, I don't know. For some reason, because I was being the corner and like I got him, like it felt just like different and it was so good. And then uh it got down to just me and Sass and that one older man on the team that wears the hat.

SPEAKER_04:

Yes, yes. Don't I know?

SPEAKER_03:

Don't you know? And we were just trying to stay alive. We were just like, Don't get out, don't get out because we were up 3-2.

SPEAKER_04:

Ooh.

SPEAKER_03:

And the luckily, like we did, we stayed alive. The clock ran. I think actually, like as the buzzer went off, like he got sass.

SPEAKER_04:

Wow.

SPEAKER_03:

So it was congrats, that's a fun one.

SPEAKER_04:

When it's like that, that's fun.

SPEAKER_03:

It was fun. I had oh, but I also I don't know if you guys if I've talked about how one of the courts at this place that we play, there's two courts, one of them on one of the sides of the court, there's a big fan and they also play the music right there. So if you're standing with your back to the those things, you cannot hear anything. I can't hear my team talking to me. I can't hear the refs. And like something, one of the rules of dodgeball in the league we're in, probably in all of them, is that when you have ball control, if you have more balls than the other team has, you have like a certain amount of time to throw them, and then they start counting down that time at 10 seconds. And you, if you don't throw it by the time they get to zero, you have to give all the balls to the other team. Yeah. Because this court is so loud with the fan and the music full blast, we can't hear them. And so we got a violation. And I, one of the times I had gotten out, I was on the side um with one of the refs, and I I just like stood there and I was like, Hey, I just want to let you know, like, we cannot hear you. And he was like, I'll try to be louder. And I was like, It's really not you, like, I'm not saying you're not loud enough. I'm just saying the fan and the music are so loud that we can't hear you over that.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

And they were like, Okay, I'm sorry, like, thanks for letting me know. And then we got that violation and I screamed. Also, the person who owns the league is standing right behind the fan and the music. I also yelled before we got out. I turned around, I was like, I can't hear. And I looked at him, and then once we got the violation and we had to give all the balls up, I screamed. I was like, we cannot hear over this music and the fan. Like, it is actually crazy. Yeah that just all of it, like for no reason, one team just has a huge handicap that like they can't hear themselves or the people, and it's like so unnecessary. Just move. I called Josh obviously and come complained to him about it, and I was like, just move, whatever. The fan, leave it. It's a huge fan, yeah. But like it's like kind of crazy.

SPEAKER_04:

Industrial for sure.

SPEAKER_03:

But move the boombox to the other side of the gym. Yeah, we will still be able to hear it. Yeah. I was thinking in the other league at the big gym. I'm never thinking about the music. There's always music playing, but it's it's just at a level that's like, if if I happen to catch a song I like, I'm like, ooh, yeah. Song, but it's not hindering my playing. Yeah. And I'm just like, why can't we move the boom box to the other side of the gym?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

There's like a barrier kind of, and so it would be enough of a like sound wall that it would we would still be able to hear it, but it wouldn't be blasting in my ears. I'm so sorry. I don't understand. That is wild. So I asked Jack, our um captain, if he could just drop a line and be like, hey, could we try out a new spot for the music?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

And I sound like a Karen, but I don't care.

SPEAKER_04:

No, it's fine.

SPEAKER_03:

I think that it's I think it's a reasonable ask. And I can't believe I'm the literal only person that is worried about this.

SPEAKER_04:

It's a lot.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know. It's so silly. But yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

But frustrating.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Did you have something you want to talk about? You asked me about it. Okay, yeah, tell me.

SPEAKER_04:

Guess who's back? Guess who's making a comeback?

SPEAKER_03:

That we haven't already talked about?

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, that we talk about, and you're not gonna believe. Oh, we've talked about this person, but you don't know about their comeback.

SPEAKER_03:

It's not Hillary.

SPEAKER_04:

No, no. No, it's one that's like infuriating.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, it's bad. Is it Katy Perry?

SPEAKER_04:

No, it's Mr. Firefest himself, Billy McFarland.

SPEAKER_03:

Again.

SPEAKER_04:

I went down a rabbit hole today, so he has released a new company called Phoenix because Phoenix is in the ashes.

SPEAKER_03:

That's giving Ned Filmer, and I want to talk about him again.

SPEAKER_04:

But he the Instagram account is wild. He was like, uh he gives this whole carousel of him explaining his life journey, how he would he fought to pay people back. Literally, I didn't know. Did you know that he participated in an actual boxing match to win money to pay people back and he won?

SPEAKER_03:

No, but I guess we're I know.

SPEAKER_04:

So now there's Phoenix, and he has, yep, you've guessed it, rented an island. And the first video on his Instagram, he's going, You're not gonna believe it. We've rented this whole island, we have the permits and the contracts and you're right.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't believe it.

SPEAKER_04:

You're right.

SPEAKER_03:

You know what? I don't believe it.

SPEAKER_04:

And and if you look up the slogan for Phoenix, just try to tell me what you think it is.

SPEAKER_03:

Is it is it We Are Phoenix? Is that the handle? I think so, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

No, that's not it. Rainbow flag. No, that's not it. Um look up Billy McFarland. And then it's it's in his like bio on Instagram.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, he has his own page. He I I can't believe it. He's gotta quit.

SPEAKER_04:

I can't believe it.

SPEAKER_03:

Join Phoenix.

SPEAKER_04:

This yes. Um find us is did you click on the Phoenix what you're on the Phoenix's Instagram account? Yeah. It's like Phoenix reaching every corner of the internet or something. What does it say?

SPEAKER_03:

From the ashes of fire rises, Phoenix. Oh, Phoenix seeks to power every view on the internet. What does that mean?

SPEAKER_04:

Phoenix seeks to power every view on the internet.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know what that means.

SPEAKER_04:

This man will be.

SPEAKER_03:

He's 379 followers total.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

That's it. And I won't be 380, I'll tell you that.

SPEAKER_04:

He won't stop.

SPEAKER_03:

He won't stop. And like at this point, just get a desk job.

SPEAKER_04:

My plans to go to TikTok later too, because he's on I saw the video on TikTok, but then got off it before I could go to the comments because you know he's being roasted.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh yeah. Well, I looked at the this is the first post. It says, Love this guy. At no point does he explain what Phoenix is.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, not one single point does he explain.

SPEAKER_03:

Love the Microsoft paint illustrations and no mention of what Phoenix is.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_03:

Um, Delulu at its finest.

SPEAKER_04:

Bless this man.

SPEAKER_03:

Cool. Read the site. So you get paid in Phoenix crypto coin by giving you money. Great idea. So it's just a crypto scam.

SPEAKER_04:

I clicked on the website and there's a section of it that asks, Did you buy tickets to Firefest or Firefest 2?

SPEAKER_03:

Why?

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03:

Can't wait for season two.

SPEAKER_04:

Me either.

SPEAKER_03:

This is season three.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, this it would be season three. But also, we looked it up, right? He sold Firefest for like a quarter of a million. It was nothing.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

But if you watch, like go through this slide as some like after this and watch. And then he literally says, like, I sold Firefest. Like it was worth anything.

SPEAKER_03:

It wasn't.

SPEAKER_04:

Because you screwed it. And you owed so much money to people that that money went directly to those people.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm like, I am exhausted by it.

SPEAKER_04:

I can't believe this man has so much stamina.

SPEAKER_03:

But I love the update, so I can't wait. Because it was actually a fun ride. It was to be on Firefest too, like to see what happened. And I'm excited for Phoenix.

SPEAKER_04:

I am I'm also excited for Phoenix. I like the story. We're going from fire to rising from fire.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. What's next? What's after that?

SPEAKER_04:

Well, Harry Potter.

SPEAKER_03:

Exactly. Well, speaking of fire and panties.

SPEAKER_04:

Right.

SPEAKER_03:

Do you know about Kim Kardashian's panties?

SPEAKER_04:

I've been hearing something about a bush.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, she released um skims released Bush panties, and like I just don't get it.

SPEAKER_04:

What do you mean Bush panties?

SPEAKER_03:

I'm gonna show you.

SPEAKER_04:

Is there artificial bush?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Wait, really?

SPEAKER_03:

Like I just don't understand. Is it like a Halloween thing? Like, what is no, thank you. I don't want to be on the mailing list. I'm already on it. No, just like skims in general. Where can I find this?

SPEAKER_05:

Skims of the bush.

SPEAKER_04:

I love the search history.

SPEAKER_02:

Let me just run you through.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know what I was picturing, but that wasn't it. All multiple things.

SPEAKER_03:

You guys, if you're if you're obviously you're listening, I'll explain this to you.

SPEAKER_04:

Is that for women or men?

SPEAKER_03:

Women. It's called the faux hair micro string thong for$32. And there are like 15 different colorways of um, I guess, like skin tone. Skin and skin tone and hair color. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_04:

We have like oh, it's not like hair peeking out, it's like as if you were naked.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Yeah, it's as if you were naked, because it's a it's a very thin G-string thong that is like nude colored to whatever like your skin tone is, and then there's fake faux hair on top of it. It is sold out, by the way.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_03:

But was it ever is it ever gone? I just feel like people just yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I just think there was a time where we just like weren't talking about it. But everyone either shaved or didn't shave, and it was just like what whatever you got going on down there, but like we just weren't talking about it, and I would prefer to not.

SPEAKER_04:

Maybe this is a way to feel naked without being naked.

SPEAKER_03:

Sure.

SPEAKER_04:

But I could see it being a thing where like you could see it through a dress.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that this exists in film, sure. Oh yeah, so I don't know. It's also$32. That's pretty expensive for a pair of underwear. Well, is it is it a guess what? I could make that.

SPEAKER_04:

Allison, literally, what is it, two weeks ago? You were like, I'm gonna make speedos. What is this?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, faux fur or like hair that you would put on a doll or whatever. I don't know, gross, but and like hot glue it to a pair of nude underwear and sell it for$32 and say it's fashion.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_04:

Wesley from A Princess Bride. So I'm gonna get some cute photos and then send it back, but I have no intention of going to a party because I have no, I will not be coming up for air until November 1st.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. I this reminds me, we just we pre-recorded a Halloween live stream, and I didn't first of all I didn't know we were dressing up. Like because there was miscommunication the night before Caleb said something like we should dress up, but then like literally no one responded to him in our group chat. So I was like, I guess we're not sure. And so then I didn't know, and I had to scramble for something. And I had already been Wednesday, I think, twice.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

So I was like, I can't be Wednesday again.

SPEAKER_04:

Why? That's what I do.

SPEAKER_03:

I know, but I was just bored by it. Sure. And so I just like looked in my closet and I saw that I had overalls and a flannel shirt, and I said, I guess I'll be a scarecrow. So I postmated a little scarecrow hat from Spirit Halloween.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

And some little stickers. It was so hot to dance in that and I had a terrible time.

SPEAKER_04:

But I mean it was cute. This was on the mountain.

SPEAKER_03:

No, it was just a live stream.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

I had to take the hat off also because it kept like I couldn't, I feel like I couldn't move my head and it was hindering me.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, that's quick thinking, and I like that.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, but I don't want to be like it wasn't cute. Like I didn't feel cute in it. Yeah. So I if something happens last minute, I don't know what I'll be doing. Yeah. Last year we Josh and I just like I wore like all black in some sort of cat ears or something, which is easy.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Was there another question in here?

SPEAKER_04:

Yes, what are you doing for New Year's and Christmas?

SPEAKER_03:

Christmas? Unsure. I would like to. I mean, actual Christmas Day, I'm just gonna be Are you going to Indiana at all? Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_04:

That's what you're doing for Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. If like money wasn't an object, I might fights weren't so ridiculous right now. Yeah. I might try to go home close to Christmas. But I don't know if that can be done. But we're both going home for Thanksgiving. Okay. And so like actual Christmas, probably what we did last year, which is just like the actual day of Christmas and Christmas Eve, like just being home and relaxing and waking up and like opening presents or whatever. But I would like to do another like day day trip or like two-day trip somewhere. Because we went to Santa Barbara. Oh, right.

SPEAKER_05:

That was cute.

SPEAKER_03:

I loved it. So I would like to maybe do something like that. Like the week before or something. Or actually, we went a couple days after Christmas.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, you're not doing that this year.

SPEAKER_03:

No, because well, I'll be here for Christmas.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm gonna spend Christmas with boyfriend and his mother. And then we're gonna do a cabin trip, a friend cabin trip for New Year's. And I was just telling Ellie I have to show her the cabin I found after we record because I pivoted and went to Idlewild because I did that one trip earlier this year, and I would love for you and boyfriend to stay.

SPEAKER_03:

How far is it from Big Bear?

SPEAKER_04:

Same distance.

SPEAKER_03:

No, like Idle Wild to Big Bear.

SPEAKER_04:

Idlewild to Big Bear is 45 minutes. But it's like when you're going up to like you'll you split. You either go this way to go to Big Bear or this way to go to Idlewild. It's also less treacherous to get there. So like if the weather is bad, it's not like a it is a mountain, but it's not a crazy mountain.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

And there is this insane Italian restaurant that I would love for all of us to have like New Year's Eve dinner at. And then the town is so cute. There's you know a golden retriever mayor.
