Whiplash: The Yo-Yo chronicles
Ever felt like you’re rudely snatched back and forth by someone’s romantic whims, much like an erratic yo-yo? Meet our latest Hall of Fame inductee, 'Yo-Yo,' whose oscillating behavior is both bewildering and oddly amusing. We unpack these yo-yo antics with laughter and share our guilty pleasure for gossip, hinting at a potential new segment inspired by Reddit's "Am I the Asshole?" There's a lot to learn from these red-flag-filled tales, and we're here to ensure you recognize them before finding yourself entangled in similar chaos.
Relationships today are a complex playground, teeming with breadcrumbing and the murky waters of situationships. Through our own tales and those of others, we explore how personal growth, open communication, and a keen awareness of boundaries can help navigate these turbulent waters. Whether it’s friendships blending into romance or managing unaligned expectations, we reflect on the importance of honesty and setting boundaries, while still managing to keep the humor alive as we recount our own misadventures.
Accidental flirtations and unintended signals are just part of the chaotic charm of modern relationships, and our stories prove it. We share all this and more, emphasizing the importance of owning up to one's role in relationship dynamics. With anecdotes spanning mistaken mail mishaps to chaotic yet empowering moments of self-reliance, we spotlight the balance of authenticity and humor in the digital dating age.

hello hello, hello welcome everyone to. We are not the same another amazing episode I am excited about it yes, um.
Speaker 1:So we have some news. We have inducted a new member into the nickname Hall of Fame, or Unfame.
Speaker 2:Yeah, normally it's not a great sign for you and your future with us when you get a nickname. When you acquire a nickname, it's normally. You have now been moved to the no pile.
Speaker 1:That's what that effectively means yes, you have been discarded.
Speaker 2:You have been discarded, go fish, never to be played with again. We are trying to draw again.
Speaker 1:That was a really good one. That came out of nowhere, but that was perfect that was really good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like that. Me too, but it's true, it's because, like, at this point, I can no longer take you seriously and so, like I can't you know what I mean I got an, I got to call you something different, especially because I'm going to tell people and by people she means me, like all of you guys too, so here we are.
Speaker 2:Listen, I love to gossip. Fucking love it Probably my favorite pastime. I don't care if it's reminiscing about old stories. I don't care if it's learning about new things. I don't care if it's about people I've never met before in my fucking life. I love it. I want to hear it. I want you to share it with me. Send us stories Like I want us to read anonymous stories.
Speaker 1:Yes, because I just love it. That, because I just love it, that is actually going to be a new section.
Speaker 2:I love the. Am I the asshole section of Reddit? I fucking love it. I want all the gossip.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's a new section.
Speaker 2:So that makes me like I like to also then talk about gossip. Do I shut up? No, no, we are all well aware that that is not something that I do If anyone was wondering what that noise was.
Speaker 1:That was Lacey's phone. Could you hear that? I don't know? Yeah, r2-d2. Maybe, but just in case.
Speaker 2:Anyone wanted to know who the nerd was.
Speaker 1:it's you.
Speaker 2:We are not the same I think everybody is quite aware that that would be me. Yes, if you hear nerd sounds in the background, that is my phone I got a notification.
Speaker 1:That's so funny, and it was.
Speaker 2:R2-D2 telling me yeah, sorry, I love that. If someone calls it, it will be the theme song to Star Wars.
Speaker 1:It will. I love that about you. My bad, I don't even know if I've seen all the Star Wars. But besides that, we won't go on that. Tangent, yeah, tangent, okay. So we are on nicknames.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so the new nickname, his name is Yo-Yo. The Yo-Yo is yo-yo, the yo-yo, the yo-yo, because I love to say that I don't know why. I like it makes it more like I just do it all the time, the yo-yo, the yo-yo, um, but it makes sense, right? Okay, so what do yo-yos do? They go out, they come back, they like do little tricks, they string you along. They. That's what yo-yos do and this gentleman definitely a yo-yo. Do you want? And this gentleman definitely a yo-yo, Do you want to explain why he?
Speaker 1:was a yo-yo. Oh, I mean, I think you just did.
Speaker 2:I mean specifics.
Speaker 1:I feel like it doesn't make it a general statement. Then I'm just going to say someone make you know, like when you ask for a chance.
Speaker 2:Yeah, texting In writing. In writing. Writing.
Speaker 1:I'm all in when you ask for a chance, you get said chance. You just fuck up that chance and like record time.
Speaker 2:Record time by just not being like. I'm so sorry. Let me do all the tricks. Let me give you the explanation.
Speaker 1:Then let me, you know, I feel like there really wasn't. I feel like, you know, I just I feel like there wasn't even. I just there's like a lot of lack of communication, just a lot of um, aloofness, a lot of like trying to be I don't know. I think that there was a lot of stuff that I was not participating in, and so I'm just not fun because I don't, I don't, I'm just so confused, right, okay I was like I was talking about the hey, I'm here for this, oh no I'm gonna date my ex?
Speaker 2:oh no, I'm not gonna date my ex, okay we're just getting.
Speaker 1:Really. I'm trying to figure out how to generalize I was trying to figure out how to generalize okay, yes, and that's just like okay, I don't even know. I feel like that's a generalized statement. I was trying to figure out how to generalize. I was trying to figure out how to generalize Okay, yes, and that's just like okay, I don't even know.
Speaker 2:I feel like that's a generalized statement. You know how many people do that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think yo-yo even knows that I am aware of this, right. I just am really good at spotting shit. And here's the thing when your energy shift, for me, when you go from putting 100 effort into all the sudden, like fucking nothing, red flag, like yeah because we can identify him. Yes, and also like you came in real strong and real hot and then like real fucking cold. But this is a pattern, because yo-yos, yo-yo, that's what I'm saying they only have have like one or two things that they do.
Speaker 2:And the tricks are lame, and yet we still fall for them.
Speaker 1:Did not fall for it.
Speaker 2:Not this time around, because we're learning, we're healing, we're doing better. Can we?
Speaker 1:just like say in case anybody's getting anything confused Johnny Bravo is not it. It's just the same thing, that's always. Yeah, that nickname will never, ever cross paths, ever again.
Speaker 2:But just in case somebody was ever thinking that johnny bravo would ever be like renamed no yeah, no, just I want everybody to like be aware that the nicknames are person specific this one too, because I feel like it's relevant and we will never share who they are and it could be well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we try sometimes there's a few, but those people have been either either been on the podcast or fucking deserve it.
Speaker 2:So whatever, it's fine but that kind of like. That brings us to like the topic of the day, though, right, because, yo-yos, they have a string. The whole point of this episode is stringing people along stringing you along.
Speaker 1:Yes, why bread crumbing brother? Bread crumb they bread crumb, you, just enough they leave you a trail yes, I, yeah, yeah. They just like just a little bit just to keep you, just enough to keep your attention. That's the new. That's the new that the young people call it, isn't it?
Speaker 2:we say stringing along because we're old, and then they say breadcrumbing and then you're hip because you hang out with the youngins. Apparently I'm a cool mom, so that's fun. I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom.
Speaker 1:I am, I am, I'm just, I really am. So, anyways, I'm gonna ride that horse as long as I can.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they string you along, I really am.
Speaker 1:So, anyways, I'm going to ride that horse as long as I can, absolutely, yeah, they string you along, they breadcrumb you to string you along and it's for like now. My theory is is because obviously they're dating multiple people and you're an option, right?
Speaker 2:So Right, so you stick around because there's the possibility.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And I did not attach to several of the breadcrumbs I did not pick up.
Speaker 1:I'm super proud of you so I just didn't have time for that shit and therefore the breadcrumbing you were able to recognize it right away and then you, when you were like I'm not gonna play this game, yeah, that person instantly panicked yes, and like it's not like this.
Speaker 1:Is that fucking serious? This is all like. This was not serious, this was nothing but this is the point that I'm making. Why do you go out of your way? To come after me and then, and then not want me, not like that, but yeah, but it's very confusing, like I'm so like because nothing happened, it's because like the, the x thing, right, or like other options, and then not being an adult enough to communicate, just like that's, that's how situations happen. Right, that's that's how my situation I happen like I'm so new to this.
Speaker 2:I guess it's like like hang out or hook up or whatever, but like the second he gets a girlfriend, we don't speak to each other, and then the second I get a boyfriend. We don't speak to each other, and then the second I get a boyfriend.
Speaker 2:We don't speak to each other, but if we're both, if we are both single, we normally end up back in our same fucking situation, which is not good for me because I catch feelings and he doesn't, and we both know and we've talked about it and it's like it's not a secret, it's just the thing that we deal with. But it's toxic for me, obviously, because I know that I'm like but he came and saved you. Today he did go him, but I'm doing good, because the last time we hung out, we hung out just as friends can I say my theory the night?
Speaker 1:my theory is he's trying to win you back. No, he's like oh, she wouldn't give it to me then, but she will now. It's a new quest, see now you owe him he owes you, owe him. He got you out of the ditch. Literally, I he's always been like a decent.
Speaker 2:He owes you, owe him. He got you out of the ditch, literally. He's always been like a decent fella, for sure. My issue.
Speaker 1:A decent fella Shut up Like a decent fella. Hey, you do live in Rathdrum, it's fine.
Speaker 2:I am a product of my environment. You were not from.
Speaker 1:Rathdrum. If anybody I'm from freaking Hayden.
Speaker 2:Lake Idaho.
Speaker 1:I mean I say that like it wasn't Avondale.
Speaker 2:It's all the same. I just pick up on like weird things from the people that I am surrounded by and then it all like intermingles and becomes its own weird thing and I can't help it. It's the autism.
Speaker 1:Leave me alone I love that about you but no, like he's never there's.
Speaker 2:I think there's a difference between being strung along and stringing yourself along. Right, because my problem is I strung myself along because I stayed around in hopes that he would change his mind, but he never gave me false hope. So credit to him and I can own my shit.
Speaker 1:And that's why I'm proud of myself, because I'm learning, and that's an adult situationship. Yes, yeah, it's not like yes.
Speaker 2:And we have conversations. He's still one of my best friends. He'll probably always be one of my really good friends, like I feel comfortable talking to him about shit.
Speaker 1:I've talked to him about me having feelings for him like we've had that combo, one of the things that like comfortable, but yo-yo could have been just like a friend and it would have been fine like there was no reason to make it awkward, like that's what's weird about it right, like it could have just been.
Speaker 2:It could have been, I mean it could have just been yeah, it just it was. Yeah, it is what it is. It still is what it is.
Speaker 1:It still is what it is. It's just like I just see you differently now.
Speaker 2:Right, because you did something that wasn't necessary. Yeah, and it's just weird because I thought you weren't like that it just makes me bring out all the things into question.
Speaker 1:And then it's like yep, can't trust anybody, that's all it comes down to Circles around. I'm like, oh yeah, you're right, don't trust anyone.
Speaker 2:I know I'm sorry, I'm a bad influence, though I tell everyone I'm like fuck off.
Speaker 1:On the bright side though, the classic is a great conversationalist and yes, yeah, see, because some, some should just remain that way. Well, he has a nickname, although he had a nickname to protect it in the beginning. Okay, that's not the same Right?
Speaker 2:He remember because we had a conversation about it the first time I had to give a nickname to someone who didn't earn one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he still doesn't earn one. He's very innocent. No, we're still. He's actually like yes, of anonymity.
Speaker 2:Yes I can't believe I said that without stumbling. I'm very proud of that. I normally trip.
Speaker 1:Um, so maybe that there's actually real people out there.
Speaker 2:We shall see, but I have no you're much more optimistic about that than I am I don't know.
Speaker 1:Tisa did say that I would meet someone in nine months, and that was back in October.
Speaker 2:That's still not nine months yet, though.
Speaker 1:No, I know, but I'm just saying that was and I felt like that was like no time. No, nine months would be right around my show time. So I'm like maybe I'm going to meet someone in Miami.
Speaker 2:In Miami.
Speaker 1:Oh no, miami in Miami. Oh no, why you want to move to Florida anyway. Not Miami? No, I wouldn't either, but that's where, like, a lot of people will be for the show, so maybe, like somewhere from Florida, I don't know I'm manifesting that if not, it's fine.
Speaker 1:Yeah, see, that's the thing like we talked about before. We're totally whole individuals on it, like ourselves, like we actually don't need another person, so the whole stringing along process is unnecessary. I feel like this time we actually don't need another person, so the whole stringing along process is unnecessary, I feel like this time like I don't need you for anything. So also, what is up with like, yeah, no, okay, the yo like people in general, yeah, yo-yo situation and he's like needing, um, that katie perry song you're hot then you're cold.
Speaker 2:You're yes then you're no yo-yo situation. I keep thinking of that Katy Perry song you're hot then you're cold. You're yes then you're no that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 1:It's literally the anthem, a tale as old as time goes back and forth he loves me, he loves me not that's true.
Speaker 2:We're embedded in a young age to just accept that. Think of how many couples break up and get back together and break up, and get back together and break up.
Speaker 1:I'm, I'm guilty I know, can we just like I'm calling you out. I'm calling us both fucking out I'm calling bravo, was a very good manipulator yeah, that's always part of it I even just like yeah, obviously. Um, by the way, we keep getting messages from new girls about him and it's astonishing the amount of people he tried to reach out to there's overlap.
Speaker 2:Ladies, there's a lot of overlap.
Speaker 1:I'm like you were getting real desperate when I kicked he was trying to look for a new place to live.
Speaker 2:He was getting real desperate.
Speaker 1:I'm like wow, because like how do you like, honestly, go from a three and a half year relationship to you? Well, he's fucked up. You get stranded, your whole life imploded in three days later you're like casting hooks immediately not hooks.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, I love the fact that you brought that up, because that is how I used to explain casting nets that's how I used to yeah he's using nets.
Speaker 1:He's using more than one fucking it's like are you blonde and do you work out? Yeah, that's really the only criteria.
Speaker 2:And he's talking to multiple people, and we always, but we always find out after the fact. So we do try to warn people, yes, but here's the thing, because these people don't seem to know until later, so we're trying to help out, well know, but like I don't think a lot of them care which is fine, try it out, let me know how it goes.
Speaker 1:Try it out, um, because, like, I'm the one that had to, like, burn my hand several times, so, yeah, um, but justice will be served in that whole scenario. So I am very much looking forward to that also like so funny, I think it's shocking the amount of like people. Okay, you just think of the amount of messages that I've received, the amount of people that have, actually, because these are just the people that actually then Reach out.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, for sure. I just think it's so funny that you brought up the fishing hook, though, because I used to. That's how I explained the Fat Roger. It was like fat roger, it was like a fish on a hook and like you know how, like they, they give you line and then they reel you in, and then they give you line and then they reel you in, like that's how fishermen's get the big fish, because I'm a big fucking fish motherfucker, but that's that's it's literally stringing you along.
Speaker 2:you are on the line and they give you enough to like, make you feel like this is it, it's changing, it's better, and then it gets all shitty again. Did you feel that a second time?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's still not empty. That's crazy.
Speaker 2:She got a beverage and there's so much ice in it that she drank hers in like three drinks.
Speaker 1:It was sips Like I drink a little tiny itty bitty little, isn't that what? It's called oh shit yes, but it was so I literally, it literally is. I mean, that's not false. The marketing was exactly what it was. There was just a lot of ice. Next time I'm gonna ask for light ice. It's fine, it was. It tastes great. So then I bought another beverage to put it in with ice.
Speaker 2:So anyways that's filled the cup up twice with that beverage and that beverage is still not empty. That's how much ice it's great ice, though yeah, it's the nugget ice oh, I'm ice, it's ice okay, well, you know it's good being optimistic over here have you ever strung someone long, either on purpose or not on purpose?
Speaker 1:I believe that, as I am just like a, naturally charismatic, maybe more flirty. You are pretty flirty, but that's just who I am. Naturally yes.
Speaker 2:With everybody, with everybody, male or female, male or female, it's just how I am, it's just my personality, it's just your energy and I don't think it's like it would come across more flirty.
Speaker 1:I think my personality is just charismatic Like I'm very like, I don't have a lot. I mean, like I will give you a hug, I will put my hand on your shoulder, like I'm just there.
Speaker 2:My aura, so people read it the wrong way.
Speaker 1:Remember my aura is very big and loud and only Well. Ok, there are certain people that I get the ick from now as I stay away from, but there's a lot of like. I just am that, so I think people can read that wrong. Also, I'm friends with both male and female and I'm fine with just being friends. Like some of my best friends are males and I I so I have run into in my life that I think I don't intentionally do it, but I think that I have been either like an agreeable listener or too agreeable in not shutting things down or just laughing things off.
Speaker 1:Feel that or things like that to where friendships, because do you remember the this? Ok, this is an example. Maybe I wasn't harsh enough in the beginning, or maybe I was just too nice with the. Oh, what did we call? What do we name? The guy, the one, the?
Speaker 2:one. I definitely need more than that.
Speaker 1:The. You knew the name and I didn't, and I had forgotten about it. The was married. The presence.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, presence, presence, okay, presence.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like, and then it just all imploded and then I feel like those situations have happened like several times.
Speaker 2:Yeah, throughout my life. Yeah, that's fair. I have definitely been guilty of doing it, not on purpose, with my best friend, we were friends for 19 years and I got an ultimatum literally at the end of that friendship.
Speaker 2:That said, either leading on, though, or just developing feelings well because that's different, because you can develop feelings for your friend but like towards the end, like we would hang out like literally all of the time and he would do all of the things for me that like a partner would do for you, and I'd let him do that and I didn't set that boundary clear enough that's on me.
Speaker 1:I own my shit like I know I do that, I've done that. Well, no, I have not done that, but I see that situation and I understand that situation and I could see how that would happen, because I allow the same kind of friends things and yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:I guess I would too yeah, but it wasn't like intentional. I wasn't trying to give the wrong impression but. I did give the wrong impression so like that one was not on purpose. But I have done it once where I kind of knew I was doing it and they did it anyway, and then like that was wrong on my part, um, that was with um, oh, I don't know what to call him. See, not everybody has a nickname.
Speaker 1:Like I said, you have to do like you have to like, do something like you have to be, or like, at least do like a douchebag move, like if you're providing inner, like if you just do something that we're like what the fuck?
Speaker 2:like that was unnecessary, you're gonna get a nickname especially now because the podcast, like we have a whole section that you're getting.
Speaker 2:Honestly, it's kind of um, you know what, I'm gonna call him morphine morphine, yeah, okay, yeah because then I just thought about like the wholeness of that story and it's actually a really fucked up, pretty crazy story. Um, because he was the one that I I, when I was a senior in high school. Um, I can't believe, I'm going to admit this out loud I was dating a boy and a girl at the same time because we were on a lot of morphine. He got liquid morphine and then, like it got crazy because he broke up with her but not me and didn't tell me that he broke up with her and like somehow thought that was gonna to work out and she went crazy and threatened to kill us and got put in an institution for 72 hours.
Speaker 1:How come I've never heard this story before?
Speaker 2:I don't tell this story to people. I can't believe I'm saying this. I do not tell this story to a lot of people. Not very many people know this story.
Speaker 1:Now a lot of people know the story and it's fine. It's healing, it's going to be healing. It's fine, that was your 19 year old self, 18 year old self, 17 year old. Where'd I get 19? I don't know. I graduated at 17 cause I was a summer baby.
Speaker 2:So so she got institutionalized for a little bit. Me and him decided to still go to senior prom together cause we'd already bought the tickets. She about the tickets. She gets let out of the fucking institution before prom. She shows up at prom. Me and him go to prom together, whatever. He shows up with his head shaved and I'm like what, what, why you look awful, like why would you do that? And it was whatever.
Speaker 1:But and she shows up with our mutual friend amy oh, I have a guy that I want you to hold on. I'm going to show you.
Speaker 2:Okay, keep going who has apparently chosen her side in all of this wait, who that she shows up with our mutual friend amy oh, why did I?
Speaker 1:why did I hear carrie? I have no idea. No, me and carrie did not hang out in high school at all.
Speaker 2:Okay, sorry, keep going um, and so, like she, they're wasted, drunk and like threatening to beat me up, and like security gets called and they get arrested and taken out from the prom. Then me and morphine go to the hotel room, but at this point I've broken up with him as soon as I realized that he broke up with her. I broke up with him right, because, duh, she was my best friend, like what I don't. I still don't know why he thought he could get away with that, but she was still mad because she thought she didn't know that we'd broken up or whatever we go to the hotel.
Speaker 1:By the way, I think this guy you should I should what I can definitely hook you up with this person. You can go.
Speaker 2:I know who this person is not in person, but we are friends on facebook okay, yes why do I feel like? I don't know why you feel that? Uh, you don't I don't know why you would get the vibe, but that he would be. Let's not.
Speaker 1:Okay, this is a sidebar convo, but like no yes no, he would not but anyway, yes, I have a conversation for you later on. I have to tell you okay, keep going.
Speaker 2:So we go to the hotel room and somehow, like one of I, one of the younger, like kids he's like a freshman came to our hotel room with us and I don't know why, I don't remember why, but he's all getting wasted. We're getting noise complaints, whatever. We have to kick this kid out. But he can't drive, so he has to go and like sleep in the car in the parking lot. And then morphine tries to like hook up with me and I'm I broke up with him because of the whole thing and I'm like that's not happening.
Speaker 1:He punched the wall and broke his hand so then he got actual morphine again, and I had to get actual and I'm the illegal guy it came full circle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all right yeah, so no throuples for me. I learned the hard way I just would not share.
Speaker 1:I could never do that, because what number one?
Speaker 2:I want to be number one yeah, you, you're not good at sharing you're not even good at sharing from a friend perspective, like when I remembered sluts actual nickname because Jen brought it up it is fiddle faddle, fiddle faddle.
Speaker 1:I was like fiddle faddle.
Speaker 2:But she knows that, so I mean she'd know that it's her.
Speaker 1:I don't really care because, like she, we also did not talk about on the stalking episode how not the stalking episode? On the pick me girl episode, we somehow got so sidetracked, which we will go back to, but it should be documented that she slept with all your exes, yeah.
Speaker 2:Gross. How do you leave that out? I don't know.
Speaker 1:I was. We were talking we have left way too much out. Yes, because like we get sidetracked like that thing, it morphs like we're off topic.
Speaker 2:Now we'll get back around, I'm gonna bring it back around, because so that same dude who broke his hand um, I later on, when me and fat roger were together uh, morphine, was my roommate. He lived in the basement, which is already weird enough. I know there's so much more to the story that we don't have time for, so I'm leaving it all out. But just to get this back around to the stringing along, so he lived with us and like I would make us dinner every day and we would go out and like go play laser tag with my kids, and like he did all the things with me that like I wanted fat roger to do with me, that fuck roger wouldn't do with me, and so so you have like two relationships that have one relationship yes.
Speaker 2:And then morphine made a move on me and I was like, oh no, I'm with fat roger. And he was like are you fucking kidding me right now? And so that was me, that was me being a dick, me stringing him along I feel like you.
Speaker 1:That's on. Can I just just say this is like the yo-yo situation, but yet I'm seeing it from a different perspective because you're my best friend.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was the dick. I was the dick, Like I said.
Speaker 1:I'm me, Wow, that was like my yo-yo experience. I'm like interesting Fucking whiplash, I got whiplash. I think you did too, cause you heard about it. You're like what Wait?
Speaker 2:huh See again. This is why we need video.
Speaker 1:Cause that was so funny to watch you do that.
Speaker 2:But literally it was like my voice is like cracking.
Speaker 1:Usually it's mine, so it's fine, don't worry, we have jams this weekend, so I will come back with no voice. So when we podcast again, I'll be like it's me. No, I'm gonna try really hard not this time not to scream, and I don't know why, but I scream so loud because the music's so loud and everybody's so loud and I feel like I have to scream so loud.
Speaker 2:yeah, it's true, and then, all of a sudden, I have no voice and I die so part of the reason why you don't have a voice today is because I I did a birthday at texas last night and the kid was turning seven. Like listen, I go all the fuck out if I don't like doing the birthdays, but if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it big. So I literally yell as loud as I possibly can people talk about it. It's actually funny. Other tables will be like wow, you're really holding back there, weren't you? It's so funny. I'm like I literally just scream at the top of my lungs and get paid for it. It's a great stress release. If I'm having a bad day, just be like I, I'll do your birthday.
Speaker 1:We need to do the rage room. Speaking of that, yeah, or also Johnny Bravo's mugshot. When we get that, we're going to put that Axe throwing, axe throwing and we'll record that for you, I love that so funny.
Speaker 2:You know who you strung along, but I don't think it was intentional.
Speaker 1:Who.
Speaker 2:I don't know, t strung along, but I don't think it was intentional. Who, I don't know how, the way mobile, yes, yes, now that you mentioned, that I knew exactly where you were going.
Speaker 1:I knew and I also know why you have to be careful I had to think and not say the whole because we would have to cut. Yeah, no no yes he was like a little puppy dog, but I'm following you around, but like that was not my intention, like you fully, I was like I am not.
Speaker 1:Nope, this isn't gonna be a thing never you did tell him yes, but man that was hard to get rid of him he was so short once I literally laid the law down. It was I'm like no, that is no, never, never, will that ever?
Speaker 2:and then the bumper sticker on his car.
Speaker 1:That was really funny. Why are we so funny? We're funny to ourselves, no, we're funny I don't listen, I can't.
Speaker 2:Every time I listen to like the little clips I hear, like my I cackle, I fucking cackle.
Speaker 1:I apologize for my cat um, I have a goofy laugh sometimes you don't yes, I do. Okay, well, you just don't listen to yourself.
Speaker 2:It's fine, I listen to us. I know it's good that you do we're good.
Speaker 1:Um, yeah, so stringing along. Yeah, we've done it, it's been done to us.
Speaker 2:Yo-yo has been inducted into the I feel like it's more.
Speaker 1:Can I say that I knew yo-yo was never gonna work out though, but like yo-yo asked for a chance, yo-yo popped up out of nowhere after like drop. Oh yes, how am I forgetting that? There was like the drop before the drop? Right.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm trying to be like. What are you talking about? Like there were multiple steps in this process. We did not just end up here.
Speaker 1:And this has been like there was previous, because there was a time that me and Johnny Bravo broke up a long time ago where me and Yo-Yo started, and then we both went back with our exes, and then we both brokeyo started, and then we both went back with our exes, and then we both broke up and then we were like well, we just like.
Speaker 1:Then it was kind of like just like my situation, that it was just like a hookup thing and then in whatever which fine let it be that, like I'm a fucking adult I don't care um, and then just have a conversation yeah, I'm actually still really confused at how like you didn't just have a conversation with me like I am the most drama free person, like, yes, unless you're Johnny Bravo, unless you do okay, this is the thing. Like I said, I am the most chill person until I am not, and it depends on if you give me a fucking reason to like I don't fly off the handle for no reason. But if we're gonna go there, yes, I'm definitely. I am the most chill person until I am not, and it depends on if you give me a fucking reason to like I don't fly off the handle for no reason but, if we're going to go there.
Speaker 1:yes, I'm definitely going there, so it all depends on you.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Um, but yeah, I just this situation has me floored.
Speaker 2:It's just kind of like oh, like it's not that big of a deal either, either, but like this is what we have to look forward to now in life people that string you along don't have to be people that you aren't together with like because prison aaron carter strung me along for years and years and years the back and forth that you know I don't.
Speaker 1:Even johnny bravo struck me along how many times to promising me remember the fake. Um, he said he put a down payment on a ring.
Speaker 2:How many times yeah, I don't know why you kept. You're like this.
Speaker 1:He's like I'm broke because I put a down payment on a ring I'm like.
Speaker 2:All I can think of right now is I'm a real boy but you're not johnny.
Speaker 1:Bravo, you are not. Um. Shout out to jb for not paying his either. I keep getting weird notices about like it's so strange, like yeah, one of them was just like not even get your mail forwarded. Yes, why would you have? Yeah, I'm still confused at why I get your like I wonder if it's an attempt to like be like.
Speaker 2:Hey, do you have my mail?
Speaker 1:Okay, but your mail says that you're delinquent on your car payments.
Speaker 2:Last notice In red On the envelope, Literally the envelope seriously says it. At first. It was just like you can tell when things are escalating.
Speaker 1:Yeah, one of them was like yeah, anyways, it's funny. So that is funny.
Speaker 2:but that's the whole thing, right, it doesn't have to be like a potential, but in, in dating nowadays like I don't even date because it's like scary as hell, but like reading all these stories and seeing all the like it's all a back and forth. It's like, oh, I'm gonna give you just enough to keep you interested, and then I'm gonna pull back, and then I'm gonna come back and give you just enough to keep you interested, and then I'm gonna pull back, and and I don't understand if it's a tactic- oh no, I have a theory.
Speaker 1:I have a theory. It is attention. It is attention and validation and men and women seek that instant gratification. So you're getting that hit, the hit of attention and instant gratification from the texts, from the phone calls. You don't have to see that person Right, so, like you can use whoever to like, hook up with so it doesn't matter who it is, it's just the act itself yes, that's sad, because think about how many times they're hiding these people right like look at johnny, bravo.
Speaker 1:And all the girls that were reaching out to me that were thinking that they were the one that was talking to him after I broke up with him yeah, that was.
Speaker 2:That was crazy, though, like we learned a lot in a little yeah, like how desperate.
Speaker 1:But we also learned that when you're homeless as a man and you need another person, homosexual dating for a place to live that's so funny. No man falls in love quicker than one who's looking for a place to live.
Speaker 2:I have an unpopular opinion, because if I was ever at risk of being homeless, I would absolutely fucking shack up with a man for a place to live. Are you kidding me? Look at me, I would not fucking survive on the streets.
Speaker 1:Guess who would marry me finally on the streets. Guess who would marry me finally.
Speaker 2:She's like I found the line.
Speaker 1:I know that's my in. She just has to be calm.
Speaker 2:Let's be real.
Speaker 1:I'm going to be the one that's showing up at your door. Take me in.
Speaker 2:I guess in theory I string you along, bitch, because I will not marry you heather. No, it's on recording.
Speaker 1:I know, everyone knows at this point my feelings are hurt. No, I'm just saying it would benefit both of us if it ever you know, not in a sexual way, just purely like we always made the pact if we were not married by 40, we would just marry each other, and 40 is quickly fucking approaching, I don't think we did, I think we did.
Speaker 2:I don't think we did, I think I did.
Speaker 1:I think you had a dream of you and then you just you're like I just didn't tell you about it?
Speaker 2:no, I did.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you actually said yeah, okay, or you're like, yeah, sure, we were drunk probably it was probably blacked out. It was in our drunk era and we're like fuck men. Remember when the pool went into the tree that time. That was so funny. We were so proud of ourselves for putting the pool above ground pool together.
Speaker 2:Right, you put all it's like you know what's funny.
Speaker 1:We didn't string it down. No, we didn't start filling it with water, like you're supposed to, so the wind picked it up, so it was just the fucking outside, it got blown into the neighbor's tree and then we're like okay, now we got to get it out by ourselves.
Speaker 2:That's it'd be nice if a man was a big pool it was it was one of the 18 foot ones. Just the two of us, drunk off mimosas, trying to put together this fucking no, the problem was, is we put it together?
Speaker 1:we're like, and we'll fill it up later went to the hop jacks to have some more drinks and some food and when we came back from our celebrating, our victory.
Speaker 2:We realized well done.
Speaker 1:We realized we don't need men moment we probably should have thought that one all the way through like maybe there's a reason we should have started that was our karma.
Speaker 2:That was all like don't get cocky bitches.
Speaker 1:That was so funny, like funny, like fuck. We did it, though we did it. We didn't need anyone, no, we figured it out.
Speaker 2:We always do I mean, I figure it out by asking other people.
Speaker 1:I know I'm impressed by your ability. I'm like I would just have had the tow truck come or anything.
Speaker 2:It's because I'm cheap. I didn't want to pay the money.
Speaker 1:That's what it boiled down to. I guess I have triple A so I'm like it's fine, it's included, Because my ass is afraid of breaking down and not having anyone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 1:So I get like two or three toes included. Yeah, it's just like a thing Because I'm hyper independent. I wonder if that scares people off I think so like, because what if? Yo-yo the fact that I did not pick up on any of the I'm gonna call love bombing, because you don't you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:He literally used the word and y'all weren't even like officially a thing.
Speaker 1:No, that's crazy. So because I did not attach to those pieces of love bomb and I did not pick up on them and I did not fall and I was like taking things at a normal rate, and there's so many people that are willing to just jump all in and be all in and like fake it. Because here's the thing, I'm not gonna fake it like I don't love you in a matter of and I've. Unfortunately, I really was in love with luke and then he died, so a little traumatized from that, and then the one relationship that I was in he fucking lied to me for three and a half years was a whole different person.
Speaker 2:So that's a whole different type of you're gonna have to like get my trust and if you want it, like, if that's not gonna just happen, right and nothing real happens overnight.
Speaker 1:Let's be real. I need to see like consistency over time. Also, you want to see me, my consistency over time, like right, this is a two-way street should be, don't you like? How do you love me, how do? You you don't people move so fast nowadays. It's scary I could be a crazy person day, or like what are we?
Speaker 2:I don't fucking know, I don't like just met you.
Speaker 1:I think it's appropriate to say, on the third date, I like you. I see this going in a direction where I see us dating like, can we be exclusive? Like or can you not talk? Like I wouldn't be I. This is the point where I wouldn't want you to talk to other people. I don't know if you have to, like lock it down, but I definitely feel like you need to, at some point, have a conversation about other people at this day and age, because I feel like most people are dating tons of people.
Speaker 2:I am not like that. That's fair, because I see a lot of people. They're instantly like is this person talking to anybody? And it's like, well, did you have a conversation about whether or not they could? Because are you going to preemptively get mad about something that?
Speaker 1:they have every right, because that's also the thing if you never set the boundaries or the expectations you can't get mad about it.
Speaker 2:I agree, I suck at expectations.
Speaker 1:That's why, when yo-yo set a weird expectation. I was like wow, that's like high out the gate, all right. Failed miserably within a couple days days days I think I'm being.
Speaker 2:The turnaround is so quick whiplash but that's how it is in dating nowadays like people will date, like it's because social media because you can swipe and there's somebody else, so fast also, and people are always just looking for the next best thing and everything and social media.
Speaker 1:It's like portraying like you can slide through everyone's social, slide into dms like people portray themselves, however, however, they want.
Speaker 2:Yes, and most people are not authentic.
Speaker 1:Like authentic. They're not. Apparently, that word was hard for me for a second. Yeah.
Speaker 2:But like that's the whole thing. You go on dating sites and stuff and then it's all like you can't, you can't even trust the information that's being provided.
Speaker 1:It's so rare.
Speaker 2:And then the people that really are being authentic get screwed, because everyone assumes that you're lying, because everybody else is lying, so it's like how do you, how do you win in that?
Speaker 1:you don't, and I think that's why these people pull so fast right.
Speaker 2:So again I mean yo you're referring to this one person, but it's also kind of referring to like the action of what people do yes, yo, yo that's.
Speaker 1:Oh, we should you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Like that's how people are dating, is there?
Speaker 1:that was, that is exactly how it is, yeah, and then they're not like communicating, like ending like yo-yo could have been like hey, not feeling this the way I thought I was going to, yeah, and I would have had so much more mad respect for that, totally because I also didn't feel that like honestly, like it used to be really frowned upon to like break up with someone via text and like now I'm fine with it, so normal I I broke up with a cowardly lion, but that's because I tried to talk to him twice and he just wouldn't hear me.
Speaker 1:It depends on what level you're at yeah, that's fair like talking stages and all the things. Yeah, like who cares, just yeah stop it. It's not, but like, at least stop it, don't like leave that person like, then you just look like I love you end up on like that page that are we dating, the same person page that um group just I am in it, I think I have mixed feelings about it I just at this point.
Speaker 2:I have to take it as entertainment well, some of the stuff is like very, very legit and it is. It's like people trying to say this is my experience you can't.
Speaker 1:It's watered down because there's some pick me girls in there yeah, there's girls, that shit.
Speaker 2:Because people are taking screenshots like what reason?
Speaker 1:or like the girls that are like, oh, if you don't want him, I'm like I am fucking, so done with this group I just watch it for like see that, but I don't read all the comments sometimes I do and I'm like wow and it's usually the older ladies. I'm really convinced older ladies and older men, they just get real are we getting desperate yes oh, we should read the best. Oh, we have this new little segment called best DMS of the week.
Speaker 2:You guys, it's so aggressive, oh, it's so good, though it could have gone one of two ways, and it went the wrong way.
Speaker 1:Okay, Lacey is going to go ahead and read it. Oh, I'm going to. Yes, because you're so much better with like theatrics and I feel like I am a very theatrical person.
Speaker 2:That's fair, okay. So I would say, guess who received this. But we don't need to play that game because as soon as I read it out loud it's going to be really obvious. Okay, message from random person. I would die face first in that ass and put my tongue so far up that ass I can taste the shit. Dudes, put you through First off. Like I wasn't mad at it that I laughed.
Speaker 1:I fucking laughed. I laughed. I was like this is funny, that was funny.
Speaker 2:So funny so funny. I was like OK I could have gone one of two ways, right. So the response is well, you got my attention this morning Perfectly, with a laughing face this morning, perfectly.
Speaker 1:With a laughing face.
Speaker 2:Perfectly reasonable response. Next, response from random person that we've never spoken to or met. Well, I don't just want your attention, dot dot dot, I want exactly what I said, followed by two dick pics you went the wrong way. It went the wrong way it went the wrong way.
Speaker 1:U-turn, it's too late. Can the nickname be U-turn? There's no nickname you don't get a nickname, it's a random person, but someone. Can someone please get a nickname U-turn?
Speaker 2:that's funny that reminds me of Weeds did you ever watch the show Weeds?
Speaker 1:no, okay, you've never seen we weeds. No, it's so good. Um, that's gonna be your new show.
Speaker 1:She is like this suburban mom her husband dies and she starts selling weed and a little close to home, yeah, yeah actually actually, which is really weird, because I was obsessed with that show and then luke died and then I re-watched it again. I should revisit that show again. Um, and she goes from like not knowing anything to like ending up being like this queen, like drug pin or whatever. But in the beginning she like meets like these random sketch people and one of the guys is U-turn and she somehow gets like the U-turn sign. Like he makes her get the U-turn sign like on her ass, like really and anyway, so yeah, u-turn. So now I think about that and I'm like funny, that's so funny it's a hilarious show, hilarious.
