>> Ellen:

Hey guys. Welcome back to Reasonably Certain. My name is Ellen. This is episode 47 and I'mnna have to make this a little bit of a short episode. So buckle up, let's get going. I haven't talked about what I've done in the past week for a while. So let's touch on that. What did I do? I didn't do a lot. I've been like very much a homebody and then trying to tan on the weekends. I feel like I bring obtainanning like every episode but like I'm trying to enjoy the sun while it's here. And I went to drag bingo with my friend Marley on Friday so that was like the highlight of the week for me. That was super fun. So we went to the Soho House, little beach house in Garaf and it was so fun. It's such a beautiful location and I highly recommend visiting Garraf in general. Like it's a small little beach just about, I don't know, 35 minute train ride south of Barcelona, like a 30 minute drive. Um, but it probably takes about an hour to get there. Just between like getting to the train station, waiting for the train, getting on the train, getting off the train, walking to the beach. It's probably about an hour all said and done, uh, but it's worth it. It's worth it. And it's just like one stop north of seat justist so you could technically do both in one day if you wanted to. Highly uh, recommend super fun. I love drag queens. I love drag bingo. And unfortunately we did not win and any prizes this time. But that's okay because we were really there just to take pictures. And I wore my new dress from Pepper Mayo and I'm go goingna wear another dress today because actually today I am leaving. And that's why this episode has to be a little bit short because I am about to head out to this new hotel called Hotel Bornetta and they have like a beautiful rooftop and it's inborn and I wonder if they played into the name or if it's just a coincidence. I don't know. U um, but we're gonna have dinner there, drinks and dinner and then we're goingna go to the wet deck at the W. I haven't been there since last summer. But it's so fun. It's so fun. So we'renna have like a little like crazy day and I feel like I've just been on vacation this weekend. Like it's super hot out. I had fun. I got all dressed up On Friday. And it's just funnyus. Even though I wore my very tropical summer dress, people in Barcelona do not dress up like that. So we were both dressed up very like tropical resort wear. And I mean, it was worth it for the photo. And it matched the vibes of the beach house in Garra very well. Like, I felt like I was dressed in the right outfit once we arrived, but on the way there I was like, oh my God, I feel so awkward. Holy shit. Because people just don't dress up like that here. Like, it's just. I don't know what, what to tell you. Barcelona is not like a resort warar city. Even though it's like Mediterranean. La la la, like Italy Mediterranean resort wear. But Barcelona, I don't even know how to describe it. I feel like Barcelona's low key. Like not super like seaside vacation girl. Like get on the beach and go to a fancy restaurant. Like the beach is publicized here. I think that's why there's no, like, there's no beachside resorts. There's no beachside, like, clubs, beach clubs, you know what I mean? Like, as if you were nice to go to Nice France or like the M amalfi coast or something. Um, so like, in a way it's good because, like, it gives more public beach access to people. But in another way it's kind of like, I don't know, it makes the beach kind of boring here. And people don't dress up like that to go to the beach here. People, when people go to the beach here, they are straight up just going in like a T shirt and shorts and their swimsuit. There's no fanciness about the beach vibe here. So dressing up in resort wear with like heels and like all my jewelry and everything, I was like, o, I'm sticking out like a sore thumb. Especially because I was going to the train station and not even the beach. So I was at Sanse train station. Like, okay, this feels so wrong. Everyone's with like their sweatshirts and their suitcases. Like, um. But no, that was really fun. And I need to dress up more. Like. And I just need to not care what people think because it's so worth it for the photo. And that sounds so lame, but it is true. It is so worth it for the photo. I don't really care what people think. I think there's no such thing as being overdressed. I think there is such thing as being underdressed. So just dress up and enjoy it and don't care what people think because if they're like, oh, why did you dress up? It's because they're insecure about the fact that they're underdressed. So, um, just enjoy it. But anyways, that was fun. And I, I'm not wearing this. I'm gonna be wearing my blue dress from Pepper Mayo. And I'm actually like, a little scared to wear it because it's like really short. And I just got comfortable with wearing like slightly shorter dresses like this year because I'm normally like, I'm normally wearing pants, but I'm like, okay, what are we doing wearing pants all the time? Like, pants sometimes are just like a little bit too formal and not fun. And so, yeah, dresses really do just like, take it to the next level if you really wanna, like, do summer, like summer outfits. You know what I mean? Um, so I'm gonna, I think I'm gonna wear it, but it is like, it's like a mini dress and I'm like, okay, I don't normally wear mini dresses. And my other thing is I've been trying to find shapewear that I can just wear that kind of like sucks in my stomach. But I don't need it to have like 6 inch inseam shorts because then I can't wear it under like majority of my dresses. Because some of my dresses aren't even like mini mini dresses. They're just like, maybe they hit mid thigh, but then when you walk or you bend over or you like do any other movement except standing up straight, you can see if you're wearing shorts underneath it. And I don't want people to be able to see that I have shorts on. If I just make even like one step and the dress moves a little bit. And you can like see it, uh, you can see a few inches like above where the dress actually sits if you're standing, if that makes sense. So anyways, I was like, why can't I just find comfortable Spanx or shapewear that suck in my stomach and don't roll down and I don't want it to like, cut off the circulation around like my thighs and my bikini line, you know, like where some shapewear sits, like right there. And if I wear shorts, the shorts roll up and then it's like super constricting and I'm like, I'mnn. My blood vessels are like, cut off. Like, this can't be healthy. So I did buy a pair of granny panty briefs from this new brand called Duamir and their Dutch and I actually really like them. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Like, I don't necessarily need shapewear to go all the way up to my ribcge here. If it just goes to my belly button, that's fine. I'm really mostly worried about my lower belly. I just want some constriction around my lower belly. That's really all I want. And, uh, so these, like, granny penty briefs I got I liked because I don't want to feel naked underneath a mini dress, especially when you're, like, sitting down and stuff. Like, I want to have like, some coverage under there because especially if the dress moves or something, I don't want to flash people. So the granite panties are nice because it's kind of like a swimsuit bottom where it's like. It's not like a thong in the back. Like, it goes out like this, but then it. If it's too tight on the seam on the edge, then it gives you, like, not a smooth, but. And so I'm not really thrilled with those because the whole point is it's supposed to be like a shaper panty, but the fabric is way too loose. And the only place that it's tight is on the seams that go around your butt and your leg. And then the waist, the tight fabric is just one inch around the waist, so it's just pinching you right at the waist and giving you, like, a lump. And then there's a seam at the top of your thigh where it goes around your leg, and it just gives you another indent there. So it's like. Indent, Indent. Where it's, like, quite literally creating the opposite effect that I want. So, yes, they are achieving the effect that I want by just having, like, something sort of shaping me and, like, acting as underwear underneath the dress. But it's not shapewear, though. It's just, like, firm, grainy panties giving me lines in the place I don't want. So I was like, dude, what the hell? Like, that's not what I want. There is a, uh. I do have a pair of shapewear that I wore in Miami that I really like, but it has, like, six inch inseam shorts. So for one of the days in Miami, I just rolled it up and rolled the shorts up. But it hurts so effing bad that I had that, like, that much fabric rolled up so fucking tight right at the top of my thighs that I was like, dude, what the hell? I like the waist part of it, but the shorts are just so freaking long. I just want it like, boy, short length like, right comes right under the butt cheek and just. But I don't want it to create lines under my butt cheek and on my thighs and stuff. You know what I mean? So I'm, um, debating just cutting the shorts off of the shapewear that I like. And just because I don't normally need long thigh squeezing shapewear, I just want the tummy. So if you guys have any recommendations, please let me know. Because I've been looking for Shapeear online, and it's honestly so frustrating that I'm like, do I just design my own? Because at this point I'm, like, still in the stages of designing my brand that I'm like, do I just offer swimwear and, like, one or two pieces of shapewear just, like, randomly on the side? I don't know. But I'm kind of thinking, like, I don't know if maybe I'm just in the minority of only wanting stomach shaping, but if I'm wearing a lot of, like, shorter summer dresses, I don't want it to be long. I did also get a shapewear dress from Meshki, and I was like, oh, this is genius. It's a dress. It's a mini dress that just goes right under your butt cheeks, but there's no silicone on it anywhere. So what does shapewear do? It eventually finds the smallest place on you because it's designed to shrink. So if you take two steps in the mini dress, Shapewear, mini dress, it just slides right up your butt and goes straight to your, um, waist. Because usually on, uh, most people, your waist is the smallest part of your midsection. So when I was wearing the Meshki mini dress, yes, it works if you take baby steps like this and you don't step long enough or take a step long enough for it to scoot up your butt, because it will very quickly just be like, w. And then you can't fix it because it's up your butt. So then you have to go in the bathroom and fix it all night. And I'm like, if they would have just put, like, three strips of silicone at the bottom of that to make it stick to your tops of your thighs and the bottom of your butt, then, like, maybe it would work. But anyways, so I'm thinking that I create, like, boy short bottoms that are not super constricting because you don't necessarily want to constrict your butt too much, but just something that helps you not feel, like, naked, um, underneath a piece of clothing, so that if you sit down, you feel covered. If you Walk and it flips up. You feel covered, but it's not like tight, tight shapeear, but it's connected to almost like a waist trainer. And I'm thinking the only way I could make this comfortable slash actually work and not ride around and roll down and whatever is like shapewear that has like four or five ribs of silicone around the circumference of the waist part. But if you want to pull it up over you, pulling up silicone. Oh, my God. No, no, no. So I'm thinking the only way to really realistically do that is to have a zipper on the side and kind of low key, make it like a waist trainer, but not so thick and restricting feeling like a waist trainer. But I'm like, if I had some stiffer seams to kind of give it boning without really having boning. And then silicone strips so that it doesn't wiggle and move around. Because that's my biggest pet peeve. As you put shapewear on, you take three steps, no matter what you do, because your body moves. Hello. And then the shapeard just moves around. And then eventually you get pinched somewhere and then you're just uncomfortable the whole night. And it's like, why did I even subject myself to this pain? So, um, I'm thinking at least if it had a zipper and like four strips of silicone, like one on the top, one on the bottom, and then two in the middle, it would help keep it in place. And then you would just kind of have, like, spanxy shorts, like little BO or briefs attached to it just so you have, like, something. Let me know what you guys think about that. A little, uh, product proposal. I don't know, because that's been on my mind. I've been online shopping for Spanx and I'm just. I can't find anything that I like. So anyway, I am on a new weight loss journey. That is the topic of the episode today. I started Manjaro. I just did my third injection a few days ago, so I'm technically like, in the third week. And I have not lost any weight yet. But the thing is, I went off of Wegoi on May 7. Then I went to Miami. I drank, I ate a lot. And then I came back home and I didn't really work out much since getting home and being off with Govei, I noticed the difference. I noticed the difference, uh, in my appetite. And you have to be off of Wagovei for, like, minimum, a minimum of five weeks before you start Mujaro, because there're two different drugs, and you want to let the seigglutide leave your body before you start ter zepetide, which is what Manjaro is. So I had to wait. I think it ended up being six or seven weeks in between. And then I just started Manjaro like, two and a half weeks ago. So I'm on the third dose, but it's really like two and a half weeks. And, yeah, I'm excited because although I was on with Govi for a long time, I just didn't lose that much weight. And in the time that I was off with govi in between, I gained 10 pounds. Like, I gained 10 pounds, uh, in five weeks. So now I'm like, fucking dick. I'm just back at, like. I feel like I'm back at the beginning. Like, I did undid all the work that I. I actually did undo, like, a m lot of the work that the waovi did over the last, like, nine months in five weeks. So that just goes to show you that some people like me, I might just need to be on some version of, um, a GLP one forever. And that's fine with me because honestly, like, something is obviously wrong with my body where, like, my hunger signals just don't work properly. So I gained 10 pounds. I don't think it could all be fat, could it? Like, that's crazy. I do feel very bloated being on Manjaro, and I don't know if that's a side effect or just like, I think it must be a side effect. Maybe. Maybe I'll get used to it. But I was so severely bloated and not, like, intestinal bloating. Like, I had to look it up. It was like, bloating that, like, it causes your diaphragm to get upset, and then your diaphragm, like, upsets a nerve that goes into your shoulder. So for a while, like, every time I breathed in and my lungs``and it was like, irritating my diaphragm, which was irritating that nerve. And then I was getting, like, insane nerve pain in my shoulder. And I looked it up on Google and it was like, it's not the same as, like, intestinal gas pain because I didn't feel intestinal gas pain. And it was like taking a gas x isn'tn toa like, really help in this situation. So you just kind of have to, like, walk around, drink water, drink some tea, and it will go away on its own. So I don't notice it now, but for all last week, it was Crazy. I couldn't even take a full breath in without getting like insane pain in my shoulder. Like, it felt like someone was like sticking a knife in my shoulder. So I was like, okay. Oh, um, that's cool, that's cool. And then not sure why this is happening either, but I've had like a chronic crook in my neck on the right side of my neck. And I think I have, like, maybe I have congenital torticollis or whatever. Like, my mom used to joke, or she just told me, but she joked that like, I couldn't turn my head one way when I slept. So I always slept on this side. And now I have a freaking flat side of my head. I always knew that, but I was like, hm, hmm. Maybe it's not as severe as I'm thinking, but I do always tend to sleep on my right side. And I asked my mom. I was like, when I moved to Arizona, I had to force myself to sleep on the left side of my head and it really hurt. Cause I think I never slept on the left side of my head ever in my life, like, really ever. Because it hurt. Literally. It felt like somebody was pushing on my temple. It felt like somebody was pulling on my neck. And I was like, that doesn't seem normal. And I think for what, like 25 years of sleeping on your right side only and then trying to sleep on your left side, like, obviously your body's gonna be like, what the fuck? So I have successfully, over the years, like trained myself to sleep on my left side becausee I was like, I should probably even that out, I think. Um, but I slept elevated and I think I slept actually on my right side. I don't know what I slept like, but either way, I've been waking up with a crook in my neck and it's been like two weeks and like, it'll get better and then I'll sleep funky one night and then I'll wake up and I'll just move. One wrong move and I'll be like, uh, ah. And so I just feel like, oh, I've been bloated, I've been crippled, I gained weight. I'm like, what? Nothing's going my way. So I really do need to take my weight loss a little bit more seriously because I'm like, girl, what are we doing? So I made a whole canva weight loss tracker. And I've talked about this in other videos, but, ah, the scale doesn't really bother me too much. Like, yes, I'm frustrated that I gained 10 pounds, but like, the Number doesn't really bother me so much. As much as I can just tell like in my clothes and in the mirror that I look a little bit bigger. Even though it's not, it's not like a huge difference but I can tell and I feel just bloated in like a bit inflamed. However, I can tell as soon as I went on Manjaro again, something about the GLP1 helps reduce my inflammation a lot. So just in a week of being on it I already noticed like ah, like a lot of skin inflammation. A lot of facial inflammation was already going down a lot. So I don't know what that means but it does. Like especially on my skin I notice a lot that I'm like whoa. Just one week of being on this and it's like almost healed. So something about being on a GLP ones definitely helps me with inflammation and like my skin health and uh, yeah, I don't know. I mean I've just started kind of from square one again. Again for like what, this is the 50th time. Um, but I will say like I have a good relationship with food. It's nothing like like that I have to do a lot of healing with. It's more so if anything I just need a more consistent workout routine. Um, the GLP1 takes care of like my appetite and I cook at home pretty much every day of the week. Like today I'm out to eat, Friday I went out to eat but like every other day I'm you know, eating at home and cooking at home and I normally make some sort of like ground beef with vegetables with maybe some rice or like I make some sort of like chicken tenders in the oven and sometimes I make them a little bit like crispy chicken tenders but I just add like a little bit of cornstarch and baking soda. And I don't even do the whole egg wash thing. I'm way too lazy to do all that. I just spray it with some oil and then it like crisps up in the oven. So that's a way to make your protein easier. U um, I need to be drinking more protein shakes that's for sure. But I've been very lazy with my protein intake. But otherwise I'm mostly eating some version of like beef, ground beef or chicken and some sort of vegetable and some sort of starch. And I've been going back to those, the viral TikTok bowl with like the sweet potato and the cottage cheese and the avocado again. So I think that's Gonna be one of my new go to meals caus. It's just like, it tastes really good and I don't get sick of it. And it's like a good rounded meal, so I don't feel like bad eating it. And uh, yeah, but for me mostly, I think. I think my body reacts to exercise more for weight loss. I've talked about this before, but like, some people, I think it really is like maybe a 20, 80 split. Like 80% of their weight loss is food and 20% of their weight loss is exercise. For me, I think it's more like 70, 30, 60, 40. Like, I don't know, I just noticed that I lose weight so much faster if I even just take a walk. Like, it's crazy. So is it really just that I need to. I mean, I know it is calorie deficit, but it's like most of the calorie deficit is done in the kitchen. I don't know. So I'm like, is me just going on a walk really, like really burning that many calories? I don't think so. I don't think the calories that I'm burning in my exercise is like adding up to that much of a deficit. However, I think something in my body is going on and when I work out more consistently, I lose weight way faster. And I just need to remember that. And I've just been like obsessed with sending emails instead. And I will just get up and film TikToks and send emails instead of going to the gym. So that's been my issue, my issue lately. So I do have a weight loss tracker and I don't like, need to get to a certain weight, but I've just had this goal weight in my mind for the longest time. I want to get down to like 170, 175. I don't even remember the last time I was that weight. Like, probably, um, probably high school. Yeah, probably like the end of junior year, the beginning of senior year of high school. And then I went on birth control and I gained so much weight, it was actually insane. Um, I'm also getting off Lexapro, so maybe that will slowly help over time. And then I guess I could hypothetically try to get off birth control and see if that helps. But when, when I don't take birth control, my autoimmune symptoms get way worse. So. Ah, it's like you just give up one pain for another. Like, fuck. I don't know. I would much rather not have my autoimmune symptoms and have no fear of somehow m. By what? Of they ca. By like, immaculate conception, Getting pregnant. Cause, uh, so far in my m immediate future, there's no chance of that happening, but I do kind of like having it as like, a safety net as well. So anyways, I am going to be taking my workout or my weight loss journey a bit more seriously because I really, really wa wantn get a breast reduction. And that's kind of like my main motivator right now because I just don't, like, I don't identify as having big boobs, but I have them. I just identify as a rich person without big bo. So I just really want to get them cut off. But then it's not wise to get them cut off if you still also want to lose weight. So, like, I could hypothetically get them reduced now, but if I continue losing weight, like, the shape of the boopb will not look good. Uh, so it's better for me to get down to a more consistent goal weight because I'm not like, super insecure with how I am now, but I don't love it either. I'm just. I think the difference is I'm just, um. It's familiar because I've been at this weight for so long. Like, I've been at this weight since like 2020, the end of 2019 maybe. So I'm just used to it because it's been like five years, and I don't really remember what it's like to be in a thinner body anymore. So I don't feel so insanely uncomfortable because, like, it's familiar to me now, but I would like to be in a thinner body. I would like to feel just more confident when I'm taking photos. I would just like to feel more f. I would like to feel, like, more excited to put outfits together and not have to think about how my boobs are gonna, like, ruin the outfit because I have to wear, like, a certain type of bra or like, a certain type of shirt or, like, buy a certain type of piece of clothing that can go with the bra. I have to wear, like, certain measurements because I'll never fit into certain types of shirts that just, like, don't really fit. So, uh, that's kind of my main motivator. But u. I just need to treat it like an appointment I can't skip. And I have been avoiding, like, following any sort of fitness influencer for a long time now because I kind of had to, like, heal my relationship with my body and stop comparing it to fitness influencers. And I also had to heal my relationship with food and exercise. So I stopped following fitness influencers. Probably in, like, 2019, when I was going through therapy for, like, binge eating. No, no, no. 2020, because that's when I was going through therapy for binge eating. So, yeah, since, like, mid-2020, I probably haven't really followed any fitness influencers. I think I only follow one, and that's Kate Craig. Because I just really like her. Her content. Uh, so I think, like, I just found, um, what's her name? Like, Honey Bison. Oh, gosh. I'll put a screenshot of her here. But I just found her channel on YouTube the other day because Jacquelyn Hill made a video about how she went on a GLP1 this year. But, like, Jaclyn Hill, her video was controversial, so a lot of people reacted to it. So this girl I found, she reacted to it, and I really liked the way she was talking about fitness. And it's funny because, like, I don't know if I have a very much, like, similar journey as her. I don't really have similar goals as her either. But I do really like the way that she talks about weight loss. It's like, she's not emotional about it. She's not, like, telling people that they're not doing enough. It's basically just like, she just approaches it in a very factual way. It's not meant to make you feel bad. It's not meant to make you feel, like, super, super excited with, like, false hope either. It's just very like, okay, well, if you want this, then you have to do this. Whatever. Whatever demons you have to fight to get to that point. Like, maybe you need to address it in therapy first. But, like, she talks a lot about just simply, like, like, with Jaclyn Hill'video for example, like, well, Jaclyline obviously was eating too much for her body, even though she is still quite skinny. But she was having so much trouble losing weight that, like, she. The reason she was losing weight on the GLP1 was because she was, like, literally barely eating. So it's not that you should not eat in order to lose weight. It's just that you should pay attention to what you're eating and how much of it you're eating, because it is very easy to overeat, especially if you have been overweight most of your life, because overeating is the default, and you don't really know any different. So that's kind of how she approached it. And I was like, you know what? Maybe I do need to follow a few healthy fitness influencers again, just to kind of, you know, like, have it repeated to me more often, like that kind of mindset and like, remind myself of it throughout the day whenever I'm on social media, like seeing their things pop up and whatnot. Um. Cause I do think now I'm in a headspace where it's like, it's not triggering to see someone that's like, super fit. Everyone has different goals. My goal is not to be super fit. I don't. I've never really had that goal. Of course, uh, do I admire people who are super fit? Of course. But I just don't think that's like in the cards for me. But I think I'm at a point in my life where it's like I don't need to follow someone because I want to have like their exact body. Like maybe I just like their philosophy about weight loss, their personality, their attitude, their tips and tricks. So I think I'm open to maybe finding a few more fitness influencers to follow just to kind of get that vibe in my day to day life a little bit more. Um, and we'll see how it goes. So I'll keep you guys updated, but so far, uh, it's going pretty slowly, but it's only been two and a half weeks, so we'll see how it continues. I need to just prioritize the gym a lot more than I have been. Um, but I feel my eating habits have been fine. If anything, it's just I need to. My, my brain like defaults to overeating so much that I will push through the Manjaro. So I have to, I even still have to be cognizant of when I feel full on Monjaro and be like, yeah, let's stop now because I'll be even more full in 10 minutes when the feeling like fully sets in. Um, and I also, on my weight loss tracker, I just made it on Canva. It's just literally like a chart. And on the top I have like the points of data and um, on the rows I have the days that I'm checking. So I just randomly decided that Thursdays will be the day that I'm like checking in. So I'm just weighing myself once a week. I'm measuring myself once a week. And it just happens to be Thursday mornings. And so Thursday mornings I'll just get up, u, uh, pee, weigh myself, take my measurements with like the same sort of outfit on every time so that the measurements are as consistent as they can be. And then I'm also keeping track of the Monjaro dosage on that sheet as well. So I'm starting with. My endocrinologist told me to start with 15 clicks, and then for four weeks, I do 15 clicks. So I just have one more dose of 15, and then we will move up to 30 clicks. And then I think I'll have an appointment with her in a couple months after doing 30 clicks for a little while, and then, if we feel it's necessary, will move it up. Uh, so that's my plan. I don't know. According to noom, which I dislike. But I say this. I still love the graph on Noom. I just wish maybe there is another app out there, if you guys know another app that just makes, like, a nice line graph for your weight loss. I just like seeing it in a graph. Uh, I guess you could do it manually on, like, Excel or whatever. But I already have all the data points in noom, so I just strictly keep it for, like, the graph. But I, um, guess Enum. It also estimates how long it will take until you hit your goal weight, and that's if you lose, like, I think it's £2 a week. So it's a. It's pretty accelerated. I didn't do the math, but it's pre. It's a pretty fast weight loss. But hypothetically, I should be losing weight pretty fast because some people on GLP ones lose, like, 60 pounds in six months. Like, uh. So I can only hope that it helps accelerate more than if I just wasn't on it at all. So I guess we'll see. I'm feeling a little bit pessimistic right now because I haven't really lost that much weight on Rebelsis, Wagovi or Manjaro so far. So far. But maybe Manjaro will be the right fit for me. I don't know. Uh, anyways, so it says I could possibly get to 175 by the very end of the year by, like, Christmas. So I think I'm already creeping into 2026 at the rate I'm going. But we'll see. That would be literally amazing if I could get to 175 by, like, maybe January, because then I could, uh, schedule a breast reduction for sometime next spring. That would be so cool. We'll see, though. Anyway, that's all I have for now, I think. Uh, uh. Oh, also, I just wanted to say I have been watching this show called Alias, and it's an old show from 2001 with Jennifer Garner. And it is so iconic. I saw one TikTok about it and I am already on season four. There's five seasons and I am just like shocked at the amount of effort in every single episode each season. It's like, it's like TV nowadays could never. TV down nowadays could never. They were not like a number one show, hence why probably a lot of you have never heard of it before. I. I am obsessed though. Like, I highly recommend it's like a spy show. But there's like 20 episodes per season, five seasons. And every episode is like 45 minutes long. And they have so many outpha changes, so many location changes, so many characters, and the plot twists are crazy. It's like every three episodes something happens that you're like, what? No way. I can't believe that just happened. And normally, uh, that might happen like once per season in a show nowadays, but back then the writing was like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom boom characters. Boom, boom, boom, boom boom scenes, new characters, plot twists. Like, I'm like, whoa, I'm hooked. I'm hooked. Like, eyes glued to the screen. And um, um. It's cunty. It's iconic. Jennifer Garner dresses up in like so many fucking slayigh outfits. Characters like, she has to play charactersuse she's a spy. You know what I mean? They go on missions. And there's also like the best love story in. In the background of all the storyline. Like, o, uh, it's so good. And I'm telling you, like, if you think season one and two are crazy, the finale of season two and then the first episode of season three I think was maybe the craziest sequence of events I've ever seen in television. Like, I was like, I'm still gagged about it and it's been a whole season and I'm still like, are we ever going toa come back to like we. I feel like we still need to discuss what happened in that episode. Um, um. Because that was crazy. I was literally like, what? What? What? Like insane. So good though. I. I love it. I love it. It's just cunty and iconic and the story writing is really good. And it's on Disney with no commercials, so you can binge freely without annoying ass commercials getting in your way. By the way, fuck you, Netflix. I just deleted my subscription because I was like, I'm not paying$19 a month for just me to watch it because they won't even let my family watch it because we're on two different continents. And I'm like, well, guess what? They're my family. If you want family usage. Oh, you only get it in one household. Well, guess what? Uh, we share two households. Okay. In two different countries. I don't know what to tell you. Like, that's. I hate that rule so much. It's so ridiculous. So for a while, we kept just like, passing back and forth. Like, they would say, oh, I'm traveling. And then I would give them a code, and then I would say, oh, I'm traveling. And then I would watch it here, and we were just, like, traveling on Netflix forever. And then I saw the cost of it when I was doing my bills this week, and I was like, noah, you know what? Fuck that. Because then if you want to go down to the cheaper price that it was originally, you get ads. I'm not paying for a fucking subscription service to have fucking ads, dude. So I'm just feeling very cynical. But shout out Disney. Honestlyu, like, it's one of the only platforms that, like, you don't have ads. So, um, um, every other platform has adopted the freaking. Like, you have your regular subscription that has ads, or you can have the premium subscription that has no ads that you pay$40 a month for her. Anyways, uh, uh, really recommend Alias. It's so fucking cunty. It's so iconic. I'm so obsessed. It's gonna be my personality for the next six months. Um, okay, well, I have to go, but I hope this was helpful. I'm. Oh, my God. How could I forget? It's also been a year of reasonablyn, so when this episode comes out, I think it will be a year old. It doesn't even feel like it because it just flew by so fast. But I just wanted to say thank you. If you've been listening this long and there's lots more to come, but it's been a really fun experience starting a podcast. Like, I think it's easy for me because, um, I can just talk, like, a lot, and then it makes it annoying for me to edit later on because it's. It just, like, gets really long. But thank you so much for supporting share with a friend. And yeah, I think that's it for this episode. So thank you and I'll see you in the next one. Bye.
