Silan and Maria Season 1 Episode 6

Ever feel like your brain is constantly buzzing, even when you're trying to rest? You're not alone. Feeling overwhelmed is normalised yet misunderstood, especially for teenagers balancing school pressures, social expectations, and the awkward territory between childhood and adulthood. We explore how small stressors accumulate into mental breakdowns and share personal strategies for coping.

Speaker 1:

Overdramatic and Problematic.

Speaker 2:

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back to Overdramatic and. Problematic.

Speaker 1:

I'm Salad and I'm Maria, and we have a topic episode for you today. Yes, again.

Speaker 2:

After a cute little break. Today we're going to be talking about life situations and how to handle them, Such as you know, being like overwhelmed. And overworked Yep and overworked Yep.

Speaker 1:

And overbearing and overtired.

Speaker 2:

And over life and overstimulated and over the hill and far away.

Speaker 1:

Jack and Jill went up there Exactly. Jack and Jill are going to tell you how to survive life today. I'm obviously Jill. Doesn't Jack die? I don't know, but we can't Exactly. Jack and Jill are going to tell you how to survive life today?

Speaker 2:

I'm obviously Jill, doesn't Jack die? I don't know, but we can't really tell you how to survive life, because we're struggling, we're barely peddling through, but we're going to give you the mental breakdowns daily, if not hourly, and it's actually crazy.

Speaker 1:

So we get overstimulated a lot, yeah, and that's why we want to talk about it, because we do like what's it called. We do experience it a lot yeah.

Speaker 2:

And have you know, like, which I think is something that a lot of people experience, especially like teenagers Like it's something that is so common and so normalised. Like if I go to school and I turn to my friends and I'm like I had the biggest like mentee bee last night, they're just like oh my god, lol, same because it's it happens so often now, and also I think that people don't. Also another thing that I think is issue is that, because things are so normalized, there isn't really being able to tell the difference between getting overwhelmed and just having like a crash out and having a proper full breakdown.

Speaker 1:

I agree, love the stuff. Pause, we forgot to do our little. How is?

Speaker 2:

your day. Yes, oh my God, we went straight into it. We were really passionate. Look at us go. I know how has your week been, Salon. My week has been actually you know what?

Speaker 1:

I have been overwhelmed. I have been overwhelmed, hence the topic of today, hence the topic of the day, the day breathe talk. You know I'm not gonna go into specifics, but I I had a moment at the start of the week where I was like this is the, I have the best life, I'm like enjoying life so much like I literally like I'm over the moon next day. I I'm like I think I'm clinically depressed. Yeah, no, I get that, but turns out I just got my period the next day, but it still counts. It still counts. How about you, maria?

Speaker 2:

I've had a really oh my God, hold on my hair's in my ear and it feels like an animal. Give me a second, guys. Jesus, I can't. That feels really weird, oh my god. Okay, I have had a really busy, hectic week and just a lot of stuff's going like. I had a and and you know like work and musical and school and this and that, and it's just like it's all built up and I think it, yeah, I just had a full crash out, which I think is why we're talking about this today as well we both did hey, yeah, I guess it's this time of year, it's the end of the like year, which is weird, because you would think seasonal depression would hit in the like winter, but no, we're like oh my god, summer, great.

Speaker 2:

What a perfect time to have a crash out like no girl forget hot girl summer, hot girl depression summertime sadness. Oh, I've got that summer time. Summer she's poetic today it's the lana del rey song, I know do you know the lana del rey?

Speaker 1:

of course I do. It's on my pod, on my playlist, it's on my podcast. Guys, listen to the next episode. It's gonna be featuring um. But now that we have gone through the day and also, I know you can't answer, but how is your day we?

Speaker 2:

care. Give them a moment to tell us Really, did that seriously?

Speaker 1:

happen.

Speaker 2:

No, oh my god, she didn't Wait. Surely, surely you won, though. Stop, but no, because the fit ate. You look so good, I love it, we love you, stop, no, I get that. You look so good, I love it, we love you, stop. No, I get that. Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1:

That sucks. Go have a mentee bee. Yeah, mental breakdown.

Speaker 2:

You know what? Actually, I think that my brain chemistry has been altered to the point where, like I look kind of sporty today Okay, for me I look kind of sporty. Like I'm in a ponytail, I want my hair hoodie Okay, I'm in a hoodie, which, if you know, you know I'm in jeans which doesn't classify as sporty she doesn't know because she doesn't do sports.

Speaker 2:

So there's no, if you know, you know. But listen, but these aren't my typical jeans because, if you know me, I have one pair of jeans that I've worn for two years. They are my low-rise cargo jeans and they're baggy and I love them and they are hanging on to life by literally a thread. Aren't those your mum's jeans? They are my mother's jeans because I own no other jeans and I need to buy other jeans. Yeah, I don't have jeans.

Speaker 1:

I can't shop for jeans. It's too overwhelming.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because like the fabric and like some of them are weird, no going into a jean shop.

Speaker 1:

There's so many jeans. You expect me to not get overwhelmed. I just walk out.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. The thing is I don't even get overwhelmed shopping. I just get really frustrated because I like a specific type of jeans. They need to be low rise, they need to be baggy. That's all I want. I want low rise and baggy, didn't I realized? I don't actually have that many requirements. They just need to be low rise and they need to be baggy. But a lot of the time if they're low rise, they're too tight, or if they're too baggy, they're too low, or they're like too tight around my waist but too baggy on my legs, or too tight around my legs and too baggy on my waist. So they just don't fit right and I need someone to make jeans accurately.

Speaker 1:

Sorry, so next thing, you know we will be starting a jean business Overdramatic and problematic featuring jeans. Shall we go back to where we were when we were on our role, drastic jeans. What Drastic jeans, is that our name?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, overdramatic and problematic attic. Oh my God, drastic jeans, your brain works so fast. Thank you, I like it.

Speaker 1:

No one's ever said that to me. Whoever's listening. Do not steal this, because this might become a thing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay, this is a trademark. Drastic jeans trademarked.

Speaker 1:

We're going to put it in writing. I swear. Oh yeah, I swear.

Speaker 2:

And we can sell like really cute tops, because I've been struggling to find tops that are kind of like they're like V-cut but they're like loose, because everything's either too tight or too loose, or like too slutty or not slutty enough, or it's like I can't find a top that doesn't either scream stripper or like six or like six year old boy, like there's not, there's not really an in between Like I either look like I'm sleeping on a corner or I look like I'm sleeping in a car's bed. Like genuinely Well, maybe you should do the talking now.

Speaker 1:

So where we were is that? Curtis is like god teenagers get overwhelmed um that's where you were and I liked where you were going. Thank you, because, um, we are going through school and, yeah, it's a lot of pressure, and not only that. We are still at the age we're getting told what to do.

Speaker 2:

We have to listen to it's really it's really annoying because you're not an adult, but you're not a child either and they expect you to act like an adult.

Speaker 1:

But then if you're acting like an adult, but then they treat you like a child and it actually drives me insane.

Speaker 2:

And parents, if you're listening to this, calm the fuck down, please.

Speaker 1:

I reckon one day when you're gonna be my parent I'm not saying that to my mother, I would actually.

Speaker 2:

I'm not saying that to my mother, I'm saying that, like parental figures in general, I think need to take a moment to just like and obviously this is not me telling anyone how to parent, because I'm not a parent, Despite do you know how many people ask me if I'm a mother, like do I give mum energy? Or something Like I work with kids and I have had so many like parents from the parties that I do come up to me and be like oh, are you a mum, sir? I am fresh 16. Which, by the way, I turned 16 and I can drive now.

Speaker 2:

But, sir, I am fresh 16. What do you mean? Am I a mother? What do you mean? Yeah, oh my god, I just learned, I'm learning to drive.

Speaker 1:

I know I don't have a child. That's how I feel when, at work, literally the oldest someone thought that I was was 26 and I was like I could have a whole family by then.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like, genuinely I'm not that old, that's even that's worse in my yeah, in my life plan by 26, I am married with a one-year-old and pregnant. Like that's crazy. Actually, no, in my life plan I'm married with a one-year-old. I'm not pregnant.

Speaker 1:

Parental figures. What we're trying to say is we know it's also stressful for you because obviously you are literally caring for a human being. They are in your hands but, like we are also trying to navigate growing up.

Speaker 2:

And I think it's hard because, especially for first-time parents like you're trying to navigate how to parent. But then there's you've also you're parenting someone that's trying to navigate how to live, and I think that a lot of the time, people don't give enough credit to teenagers because you just go to school. Yeah, we go to school, which is like a full-time job, because you've got assessments. We're there every day from like eight to three. You've got um, you have to see everyone. Yeah, you've got assessments. You've got people, people we have to interact with people every day. Do you know how bloody difficult that is? I hate people. I hate them so much. If I could eradicate every individual in this planet, I would, and I would gladly do it, because I think that natural selection hasn't taken place, um, effectively enough, and I think there are so many people that's existence genuinely pollutes the earth.

Speaker 1:

Sorry that that's off topic. Yes, so, and then we also have the stress of home life, we have the stress of after school life if you have, actually, if you have work, if you have a job, thinking about why the universe actually exists. Like why am I, am I learning in science? Like the Big Bang Theory? It's actually making me start to question, like why we exist, and I don't want to question that.

Speaker 2:

So I go to a religious school, right, and I had today I had a biology double and then I had a Christian studies double and in biology they were talking about evolution and speciation and like how human beings came to be. And then, straight after that, I had a Christian studies, where they were like Adam and Eve and I was like oh okay, so you are trying to screw with my brain because it has to be that on purpose that those two are straight after each other. There's no way that was an accident.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's so hard to get your head. It's just everything all together and I understand that everybody, even like after school, everybody has it. Doesn't just go away, this feeling. But, especially growing up and in school, there's just so many pressures and we still, literally, we are not fully formed and I know that sounds weird, but we are not fully formed. No, that sounds weird, but we're not fully formed.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so we're still trying to literally grow while we have all of these pressures and I think it's crazy because it's like, obviously everybody's different and you don't know what everybody's dealing with.

Speaker 2:

But even if you're not dealing with anything like, even if your life is genuinely, you wake up, you go to go home, you chill, I feel like, even that you still just like I don't know, because your hormones are all over the place and your emotions are all over the place and you're even just existing like you're dealing with so much and it's so hard to explain how, like all you did was lay in bed. Yeah, but I feel like I feel so much I think that's what I'm trying to say Like we, obviously every human being, feels like that's normal, but I think we're at a stage where we've not learned to completely deal with that. Like I know me, I feel so much and there are some days where it's like nothing's happened, but just it's just like so much emotion that it's so overwhelming Don't know how to control it as well, and it's not like and maybe that's just because I'm like fucking on the spectrum.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm the same.

Speaker 2:

It's just like there's no little emotions, and I was talking about this the other day because I think it's like everything's so big and everything's such a big deal and that's why a lot of people are like, oh, why do you guys get into fights so often?

Speaker 2:

Why is, like teenagers, all you do is fail? You do this and get into little catfights of them is stupid stuff, but it's because to us, it's not stupid. It's such a big deal, everything is such a big deal and school is a big deal and work is a big deal and relationships are a big deal and friendships are a big deal and life is a big deal and feelings are a big deal. And I watch a sad dog video and I cry because I have so much feeling and it's crazy and it's so overwhelming. And then you pair that with every other little thing in your life and people that struggle with anxiety, people that struggle with depression and people that struggle in social situations and health problems and health problems and crowded spaces and family problems and relationship problems and it's all adds up and then you feel for you, but you also feel for other people and at the end of the day, you're actually gonna like die and explode.

Speaker 2:

And just whoa, did that feel good?

Speaker 1:

that felt so good but it's true, yeah, like I have I, and it's really tough, like this is genuinely like I'm being truthful. I have days where I have had a good day and I will come home and I just want to cry, yeah, but I don't want to cry like I don't want to cry you don't have a reason to cry, but you want to cry no, I just have the feeling of wanting to cry, but the last.

Speaker 2:

Thing.

Speaker 1:

I want in my brain is to cry. I don't want to cry. Yeah, I, I have the feeling of wanting to cry and it's the worst feeling when you need or maybe not need, but inside you're wanting to cry, but like your brain is telling you that's the last thing I want to do and there's no reason as to why I should be crying. Yeah, um, and sometimes I do end up crying, sometimes I don't, but like it's just such, there's so many feelings and emotions and things that happen in, in every day.

Speaker 2:

And I think also another thing is because it's not like it's not something that's dealt with or open about. It's really like little things. Like you get little things and you think, oh well, this probably isn't like too big a deal, like it's going to be dramatic to like sit down and just like deal with this, but lots of little things every day or lots of little things every week or lots of little things every month. Eventually that is all going to add up. It's going to build up. You are going to explode.

Speaker 2:

And I think that is why it's so common for people in of all ages, but especially like people our age, to just have full-on mentee bees and it's and for over the smallest stuff, like yeah, I had a full-on breakdown, like hysterically, something I told you about. There's like full hysterically something breakdown because I got woken up and told that I had a shift that I didn't know I had and that was the last straw for me. But that's because it caught me off guard and I was so tired and I was so overwhelmed and so much had been happening and it was just kind of like the last straw. But the size of the reaction to what triggered it was crazy.

Speaker 1:

And then it makes me feel crazy because my reaction was crazy in comparison to what the little thing happened I had the same sort of thing happen this morning, but I didn't react in a like, I didn't verbally express it, but what happened to me this morning was I drove to buy my friend flowers because it was her birthday right before school.

Speaker 1:

Happy birthday, queen, happy birthday. And there were all of these spare parks, right, yeah, so so many parks, and so I just literally pulled in and I was like halfway between two parks because I was just gonna run in like I didn't try to try and park right, but there's all of these parks and I come back and some person decides to literally try and park between the wall and me on the left side, when there's a hundred spots next to me. Yeah, they go in right, and I'm like, oh, what is going on? Already, like stressed out, and my mom's like you need to start like pulling out. Then this lady in front of me comes out of her store and starts looking at me directly in the eyes and making fun of my park. She's laughing at me and telling me how stupid, like through, verbally, like she's making fun of my park.

Speaker 2:

How bad your park was.

Speaker 1:

And I was like what is going on? My mum's just like you need to go. You need to go. There's a car coming, you need to go and there's this person next to me.

Speaker 2:

And it was just like a lot.

Speaker 1:

So I eventually got out and I said sorry, I I don't know why I'm reacting this way, because it's not even a big deal at all, nothing that had just happened.

Speaker 2:

It wasn't a big deal, but I personally took that so like harshly, yeah, which I think is also like it's to make sure of like so many feelings, yeah, and then also the fact that, like it's not that one thing, it's the build-up of so many little things, little things, and I think that that's something that really needs to get dealt with like, um, I think it needs to be normalized and needs to be taught and it needs to be learned, because it's one thing to get taught, it's nothing to learn it to deal with the little things as they happen so that they don't turn into a big reaction.

Speaker 1:

I get really overwhelmed, and that's something I'm not happy about, yeah, but I also the most, I think genuinely, the most I think genuinely, the most important thing is to acknowledge that you're having these feelings, because if you ignore it it's, then it will build up even more.

Speaker 1:

But it's the worst thing to like pretend that they, that you're like okay, or that they shouldn't matter and like, even though I feel like, like I don't want these, Like they're stupid, and I don't want to get overwhelmed so much, but you need to acknowledge it, because if you don't, it's going to be so much worse.

Speaker 2:

And I think as well, just like it's. Also, a lot of people are just kind of like oh, this is so stupid, like I shouldn't feel this way about something, like it's so stupid. But it's not stupid. Like, if you feel anything towards something, it's not stupid. Yeah, and I think a lot of times it's like if something's making you upset, if something's making you anxious, if something's making you angry, if something's making you happy, if something's making you feel anything, it's not gonna be stupid at all.

Speaker 2:

Even if it's like like I have a friend right now and she has got a new boy obsession. She's got a new, she's got a new little boy obsession. And every time she talks about it she goes no, this is so stupid. Like, oh, this is so stupid. Like, why do I feel this way? This is so stupid. Like, ew, like no, I'm going to move on. And then she's got a concert coming up. She's like I'm gonna go to this concert, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna forget about him and I'm gonna forget about everything because he's not gonna care about me, because it's just stupid and I don't even know why I feel this way and it's stupid and I'm like but, girl, like, look at the size of your reaction to thinking that the way you're feeling is stupid.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like she and we it's not one conversation either we've had like 50s and girl, I know you're watching this we have had 50s and it's not stupid. And trust, I'm plotting on your wedding because, like that, they're so cute. But and like even little things, like little things air quotations for those of you that can't see this but like air quotations, little things aren't little. Anything that you, anything that you feel isn't little, and I think that that's what I want to put emphasis on. Yes, exactly. Anything that's causing you to have a feeling overwhelmed, anything that's making you feel overstimulated, anything to make you feel anxious or sad or angry or happy or like none of it is little.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I think, if I'm talking about being like overwhelmed or stressed, what you need to do from stopping it to get to such a big level of being like on the verge of like having a mental breakdown is you need to unfortunately not just think, oh, I'll just do it later or I'll let it pass, like you need to do it now, like otherwise you'll be thinking about it, you'll be worrying about it, it will build up and it'll build up, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Like, for example, just schoolwork, Like do it in class because you don't want to do it at home, like you don't want to have that stress building up, because each time, even when you get home, you're like no, I'm not gonna do it, I'll do it later, you know, but if it keeps on building up also, I don't know how you do your schoolwork to whoever's listening.

Speaker 2:

I have a. I have a comment on that one.

Speaker 1:

But like, just for the example of like I know some people work better at home, but like, even like at home, you might be like, oh no, I'll just do it later, I'll do it later. And then there's other things that come into the equation and blah, blah, blah, like, instead of just doing it in that moment so you don't have to think about it again, and then it will. It could stop you from having such a build-up of all of these things and emotions. It could stop you from having such a big see with me.

Speaker 2:

I am the complete opposite and I don't know why my brain works this way. But okay, I've got an assessment right. The assessment's not due for three weeks. I get the assessment. I'm not going to do it. We have time in class. I don't do it. I do literally anything except the assessment. In class. I will help other people with their assessments, but I won't do my own. I'll get home. I have time to do it. I won't do it.

Speaker 2:

And then, the closer you get to the due date, the more anxious I will feel, because I know I have to do this assessment, but I'm tired or I'm stressed or I'm overwhelmed, so I can't do the assessment. But I feel really, really bad and really really anxious because I know I have to do the assessment. But because I feel really, really bad and I feel really, really anxious, I can't do the assessment, but I'm not doing it. So I'm feeling worse and I'm feeling worse, so I can't do it. And I can feeling like it's that that, that this is a prime example. It's that awful cycle, but I can't do it before, like I can't do it in class and I can't do it at home and I don't know why. And then it'll get to like one or two nights before it's due, and then my brain will be like, okay, no, you have to do it now. And then I will sit down and I'll lock in and I'll do it, but it's, it's such an awful experience, but that's I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

That's literally why I said it. That's a prime example, but that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

You can stop that from having such a terrible feeling, but I get what you're saying in the sense it's like but that's what I'm saying Like it is so easy. It's so easy to just sit down and do it, but I don't know if anyone else is like me, I can't do it and I don't know why. Like I, genuinely I, I know I have to do it and it makes me anxious that I'm not doing it, but I can't do it and I don't know why. And so when you're saying like yeah, it, just get it done, get it out of the way and I know what you're saying and I'm sure a lot of listeners will hear that and be like, oh my god, yeah, no, I get that.

Speaker 2:

I. That's something I should apply to my life. But if anyone is like me, I get you and I feel you and I know and obviously this applies to so many other things than just schoolwork Like sometimes you just can't do something and you know you have to and it's eating away at you because you know you have to. It makes you feel bad and it makes you feel anxious and it makes you overwhelmed and it just adds to this feeling in the pit of your stomach that you know you have to do it but you just can't but then when you have the time, no, a movie is a better option.

Speaker 1:

My tv series is a better option, because I need to relax. I just came back from school.

Speaker 2:

I need to relax, but you can't even enjoy it because, as you're watching your tv series, you know you have an assessment that you need to do, but you can't do your assessment because you're so tired and you're so anxious from the fact that you know you need to do your assessment yeah something I would also like to add I hate it so much. If anyone knows what is wrong with my brain, please tell me so I can fix it. I hate it, I hate it so much.

Speaker 1:

Something I would like to add is that it's not, it's not about um, an overwhelming feeling, but you know how a lot of people, or maybe parents, if you're watching like tv or playing, let's say video games, whatever they'll say, like you're wasting your time, yeah, stuff like that. But personally I don't actually think this is normal, because I don't think I have a normal brain, but my brain never, ever stops.

Speaker 2:

Whether I go to sleep, whether I'm going to bed.

Speaker 1:

It will never, ever stop. Well, girl, unless I am watching a TV show or I'm scrolling through tiktok, my brain it stops and I get a break from life and I finally get to relax and I don't think about anything and I'm just scrolling mindlessly. And that's what people say, you know, like for the people who want to ban like social media, they're like they just mindlessly scroll. That is my escape from my brain. I never get to stop thinking. But when I get sorry for the knock on the microphone, but when I get to finally scroll or watch a tv show, I get a break from my brain and that is the most wonderful thing.

Speaker 1:

So I feel we know the reason as to why it starts with ad, ends with hd I'm not saying that I don't have any hd like I I was pretty sure diagnosed when I was younger, whatever, but like that's why I'm saying I am pretty sure that's not a normal brain.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's a pretty common symptom. I have it too, yeah, but it's just yeah no, I get that.

Speaker 1:

But that's what I want, like what I was trying to say.

Speaker 2:

Like parents.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes they just don't understand that my mum, for example.

Speaker 2:

she can turn her brain off at will. She will sit outside with a little cup of tea and she will just meditate in peace and silence for hours, if you let her. Not a thought going on in her brain. It's fully, according to her, what she said. She's completely shut off. She's just staring off into the horizon, just in peace, and I look at that and I'm like I couldn't get that gene.

Speaker 2:

I'm so jealous yeah, I couldn't get that gene. I'm so jealous yeah, I couldn't get that gene. I got my father's disgustingly ugly feet, but I couldn't get the meditation.

Speaker 1:

Seriously, my mum's the same. She can also meditate.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

My dad has this. I'm pretty sure he has the same kind of brain as me, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And look, this is why I'm pretty sure I'm like a secret blood member of your family, because you mean your dad. We all have like the same brain. It's crazy. But um, and, and, and she'll see me just like in my room. And why am I stuttering so much today? And and and I I start rapping.

Speaker 2:

Will the real slim shady please stand up, please stand up, please stand up will the real slim shady please stand up please stand up, please stand up, yeah, yeah, um, and she'll see me in my room just like watching a movie or, like you said, just like scrolling or anything like that, and she'll be like this is such a waste of your time, like your brain. She's like you say you're tired, you say your brain needs a break, like this isn't giving your brain a break, and I don't know how to explain to her that I and she's like you just need to turn your brain off. I can't do that. Yeah, my brain doesn't even turn off when I sleep.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, my brain like words and words and words, which is why I'm okay, I'm advocating, bully me if need be, but I'm a proud asmr girly. I listen to it every night, every night that I can, because mom does take my phone away, so sometimes I don't have access to it. It makes me really sad, but the nights that I do have access to it are the best nights that I sleep, because it gives my brain. I think that's that's what we need. Our brain needs something to focus on so that it can just kind of like oh, yeah I've tried I've tried, uh, I I've been to like sleep therapy because I've.

Speaker 1:

It takes me like hours to get to sleep and when you do sleep it's like and I've tried that I got sent like videos of this guy being like okay, imagine that your fingers are wings and you're flying and like so, yeah, you're meant to like, imagine what he's saying, right yeah, I can't do that.

Speaker 2:

My brain work even more.

Speaker 1:

It makes more Because I'm imagining things Like what do you mean if I'm imagining I should be able to fall asleep, Like no, I'm thinking more. That's not what I listen to.

Speaker 2:

I just listen to people, just like, either talking about their day or just telling me to breathe. It's just the fact that I've got someone talking and someone whispering and it's the whispering that, like, makes it sleepy. But it's just like I've got someone talking. I've got some kind of noise that I can like focus on.

Speaker 1:

Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me my brain like.

Speaker 2:

It's not even that it quiets my brain down, it's just just like okay, I've got something to focus on until my brain, like, gives up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know what did work for me, though for a long time. It's not at the moment. At the moment I'm actually pretty okay but I found this playlist on Spotify. It was amazing. It's a sleep playlist and it's just music. That's like sleep music and, oh my God, it did wonders. It's like you said, like you had something to focus on until you sleep, yeah, I sent it to one of my friends and it worked for her as well I think I've listened to it too much, that I'm like it's not working anymore, but like me, I agree with you like, um, depending on, like yours is asmr, mine is like, I guess music that's like like meditation whatever.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, my, the thing is with the asmr for me, there is I. I started listening it to it just to get asleep and then I got into this deep dive and then I realized that you can listen to it for anxiety, you can listen to it to study, and so, like literally my whole entire life revolves around asmr I'm pretty sure that my most listened to on spotify and youtube is asmr, because I listen to it to sleep.

Speaker 2:

I listen to it if I'm studying. I listen to it if I'm just like, I listen to it if I'm just like I need to relax. I'm having an anxiety attack. It was actually so funny. The other night I was having a really bad anxiety attack and it was like what you said, like I needed to cry but I didn't know why Okay, shakespeare spinning bars, literally and I was in my bed and I was curled up in like full fetal position. It was thunderstorming outside, it was darkened in my room and I was curled up in a ball, wanting to cry but not knowing why, and like, genuinely like dying, and I was like I'm gonna listen to some ASMR. So I play some ASMR and it's this like for anxiety to like and it just it helps me. I know it won't work for a lot of people, I know a lot of people don't like it, but it helps me.

Speaker 2:

And in the middle of this woman telling me to breathe and that it's okay and that I'm safe, and there's a thunderstorm outside and I'm like dying. I always get this like urge and I'm like I need to text my friend. I need to text my friend, one of my really really good guy friends, and I text him this paragraph and I'm like I like I'm sorry this is gonna sound really, really sappy, but I love you so much. I'm so grateful for you. Um, you make my life so much better by being my friend. I'm so happy to have you in my life. I'm so happy for you. You make my life so much better by being my friend. I'm so happy to have you in my life. I'm so happy to have you as my friend. And it was just like a fat paragraph, just like thanking him for existing, for being my friend, and telling him that I love him and I sent it.

Speaker 2:

I don't ever get those. You have gotten those. You have gotten those so many times Maybe for my birthday.

Speaker 1:

Oh, be quiet for my birthday.

Speaker 2:

Oh, be quiet okay, keep going.

Speaker 1:

Shut up, get out. If I scroll on my phone, I swear to god I will find fruit that I sent you keep going.

Speaker 2:

And I sent them to your mother, of course, I sent them to you, keep going. And I sent it to him. And then, um, I, I, I got back in my little fetal position and I cried, and not even for five minutes, I just sobbed for five minutes and immediately after I was like fine, I was fine, like I sent it to him and it like you know how, I said I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. I sent it to him immediately, started to cry. Five minutes later I was fine, yeah, which I think is. And then also I don't know if that was something he needed to hear, because his response to that was I thought that was a goodbye text from you lols, thanks. I was like um, I was like sweetie, no, which two things I want?

Speaker 2:

Firstly, I wouldn't have said that through snapchat. So two things I want to say. And it actually has. Oh wait, sorry, really, really quickly. That's the second time I've gotten a response like that from him. And then another time when I sent like an I love you paragraph, I sent it to one of my best friends and her response was it was just like I love you so much and her response was bitch. I swear to God, if you're telling me that you're about to self-exit through Snapchat, why, guys? Why does everybody think that, like? That's another thing? Why is it that the second I tell you you're loved, you automatically assume it's because I'm not going to be here anymore? Girl, what? Maybe I want to thank you for existing. It doesn't mean that I'm going to cease existing.

Speaker 1:

God. On that note whoever's listening. You are worth every single bit of existing Amen, and you are beautiful and you are loved, you are handsome. I don't know who this person is, so you are just slaying you are a seductive chipmunk and we are grateful to have you.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and if that helped you you listen to us, so you're amazing obviously and only gorgeous, sexy, beautiful, life-changing world light up the room Attractive, funny, intelligent, stunning, good-looking, amazing, kind-hearted people.

Speaker 1:

Listen to us so you're already eating there Exactly. Oh yeah, so two things I quickly want to touch on. This is not a myth. If you are feeling stressed, tired, everything like that, you need sleep. The base of pretty much everything is you need sleep, and I know, I know I'm not one of them. I actually love my sleep. But I know a lot of people can't sleep or they go to sleep really late and then wake up early in the morning for school. But you need to sleep. Whether that's not actually really targeted, whether that's not actually.

Speaker 2:

I'm feeling really targeted.

Speaker 1:

Whether that's not actually sleeping. But you're just in your bed and you're like Bed, rotting and like lying down.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but maybe not even on your phone.

Speaker 1:

You just have your light off and you're just like. You know like you need to sleep.

Speaker 2:

Period Amen, preach. Yeah, that's like me, that's like my little relaxing moments is when I'm like listening to my little asmr which I will.

Speaker 1:

Can we actually? I'm gonna like put my favorites in the captions so you can like try them out, because I love them and maybe I should put the spotify playlist as well, yeah, yeah, okay, we'll tag our favorites because they help.

Speaker 2:

They help me with a lot, not just sleep, but just like dealing with things. Um, and I think, in speaking of dealing with things, I think an important thing to touch on is obviously not everything's gonna work for everyone, but we said that when we had our bullying episode as well. Yeah, but I think it's it is important to talk about different ways that you can cope and deal with things, because it's hard. Yes, do you want to go first?

Speaker 1:

well, I already pretty much said mine sleep in the. No only that, but I genuinely do believe. Unless you are like Maria and genuinely just can't, I genuinely believe getting things done, because I'm also like, I genuinely do it as well.

Speaker 2:

But she's hyperproductive and I'm a major procrastinator.

Speaker 1:

But I also leave things and I'm like, oh, I don't want to hyper productive and I'm a major procrastinator, I. But I also leave things and I'm like, oh, I don't want to do it. And then I feel like shit, I feel like this, this feeling in my chest, that I want it eats me just do it and you and you will feel better.

Speaker 1:

Just do it, uh, and I hope you have some different advice, because I know that's not going to help for everyone, especially if Maria's saying she can't do it. But for me, just do it yeah, slade, I think for me.

Speaker 2:

I don't have any advice for Salon in the sense of like getting things done, because I know that I can't, but I just think that when you are in those moments where something's happening or you're feeling something I think that's that's where mine is coming from I think it's very important to not ignore that and not neglect that, because I think that happens so much. People ignore themselves, they ignore their emotions, they ignore their thoughts, they ignore their body and it always backfires because you're mentally, physically, emotionally, telling yourself that something is wrong and you're you're choosing to ignore that and, and just think about this it actually is healthy to cry, and crying means your eyelashes grow longer and you're losing fluid, so you're losing weight, so you're gonna be super skinny, snatched like a baddie.

Speaker 1:

Also, that's the second. Remember how before I was like oh, I want to say two things and I forgot the second one. Yeah, something I taught maria and I think it has worked. Oh, I think it's work because it works for me. Okay, if you're crying right, if you, if you're, if you're crying, maybe not about like a genuine problem, but if it's just like, if it's just like a mentee bee cry like an overwhelmed breakdown, if it's something stupid and you don't want to be crying.

Speaker 1:

Trust me when I tell you watch yourself in the mirror, cry. Look at yourself in the mirror, cry. You will see how stupid you look and you will stop crying. Trust me, it has worked for me. I taught Maria it worked for her.

Speaker 2:

The really funny thing, though, is I don't even stop crying because I look stupid. I stop crying because I look stupid. I stop crying because I'm like this is a prime opportunity to practice my acting. I look in the mirror and I'm like wait, the tears are already going. I might as well rehearse. And then I'll like whip out a monologue that I've written and I like I deliver my lines and I'm like okay, baddie, she ate. See if the casting agents could see me now. But yeah, jenny and Lee, yeah, if you want to stop crying, I think when you're having like, when you're sobbing, you either look really ridiculous or you look really hot, and either way, if you look really ridiculous, why are you letting yourself look like that in public?

Speaker 2:

secondly, if you look really hot, obviously yeah if you look really hot while you're crying, why are you crying? Take some photos like girl, but don't actually take photos, please, whatever you do, because you're gonna regret it. There are so many people that I know that have like like. There's this one girl that I used to know who she and we've talked about this because she regrets it so much. But she used to if she was having a bad day or she was having a breakdown or she was crying or she was going through anything, she would record it and she would post it all. Like her whole life was on her public tiktok account and she's deleted it all now and we had conversations. But she's genuinely like I regret that so much. I don't know what I was thinking and it'll be the same feeling you have when you look back and you're like what the fuck was I posting during quarantine? Why are there videos of me and little booty shorts throwing it back and doing the cannibal?

Speaker 1:

dance.

Speaker 2:

I'm a savage Classy bougie ratchet, I'll eat you up.

Speaker 1:

Whenever you tell me I'm pretty, that's when the hunger really hits me. Your little hunger's pitting patterns, not gonna lie, that was actually kind of like a really good time in my life. Now from the top, make it drop. That's a wet, that's a wet. That was a good time in my life. Yeah, that was actually like that, when I had no worries. No, like terrible feelings.

Speaker 2:

I'm so grateful, Genuinely. I'm so thankful to this day, that TikTok banned every single one of my accounts Because I have friends. I have this one specific friend who you might know who I'm talking about, and his TikTok from when he was a child is still up and there are videos of him doing TikTok dances with his underwear on his head. There are videos of him doing TikTok dances, creating audios to him, eating Doritos. There are videos of him doing like it's so. It's genuinely hilarious.

Speaker 1:

I know who you're talking about.

Speaker 2:

And I bully him every day for it, like I genuinely don't think he is gone a month without me sending one to him and being like lolz, remember this.

Speaker 1:

but I think that's gonna be such a good memory for when you're older and you look back at it like I have some of the cringiest things on my phone when you scroll back in my photos, but I'm not deleting it because I know when I'm an adult I want to see it, but but currently you look back on it and you're like, why am I posting this?

Speaker 2:

why did I post this?

Speaker 1:

what was I thinking?

Speaker 2:

when you post like it's different to sharing your stories and expressing that your vulnerability and being open to other people in the sense of sharing that side of you or helping someone else. Like that is different to completely sobbing and posting a video of it on TikTok and letting the whole know, whole world know. This is why I'm crying. I broke up with my ex. He did this, like this has happened and now I'm like heartbroken and sobbing, which is different to being open and vulnerable and be like I broke up with my ex and I'm feeling really badly about it and I think those are two completely different things. And if you and everybody that I know that has done the like, oh my God, I'm going to post my mental breakdown instead of the. This is me sharing my vulnerability, has regretted it. Every single person. So please, please, please, please, please, please, because I promise you're gonna look back on it and you're gonna be like oh my god, what was I thinking?

Speaker 1:

yeah, but also like voicing, like even if it's just a comment, just being like I feel really overwhelmed right now. Say it out loud to someone, yeah, so it doesn't matter who, but say it out loud, because that is validating your feelings.

Speaker 2:

That's what we were saying like validate your feelings, saying it out loud to someone, even if it's like you literally just like walking into somebody's, like hi, and you're like hi, I'm really overwhelmed right now, like you're validating your own feelings but also another thing that I think is really it's it's it's hard because there's a really I think how, like right now, that at this like moment in time, this generation, this era, it's really hard because we're in this weird phase where everything is really normalized but everything's also really stigmatized. Is that the right word? I could not tell you okay well, that's not helpful.

Speaker 2:

Um, everything's really kind of like oh, like, yeah, you don't really talk about this, you don't really share this, like, oh, why are you talking about this? But it's also like, oh my god, yeah, no, that's so normal. Everybody has this, everybody happens, everybody experiences this, that's mental illness, this and you're gonna get diagnosed with that, and this is happening and everything's this and everybody experiences that. But also, no, why are you talking? And it's it's so weird because we're at this weird merging of these two completely polar reactions and experiences and opinions and everybody seems to have a bit of both, and it's so. And it's hard because not only is it hard to be like I'm really overwhelmed now, I'm going through a lot right now, but it's also hard to get a reaction from someone that isn't oh my God, lols, same and moving on.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's really hard, I find at least like and I think it's especially if you and I'm just going to say this straight out because I have had most of like, I've had many periods of my life like this, when you don't have friends or genuine friends yeah, that you can, that you like how Maria said like would just be like lols, like same, like. If I'm having a breakdown and I need to talk to someone, I will, I will call Maria, but not everybody has the luxury of that it took us so long to find like someone that we could talk to, because we have each other.

Speaker 2:

But other people might not have that and honestly, if you're listening to this if you're listening to this and that's you and you think I don't have anyone that that will listen, we will listen. Please email us to message us on instagram, message us on tiktok, message us anywhere, and we will listen and we will talk to you and we will call you and you can. It doesn't matter if we don't know who you are. Talk to us, because there's no worse feeling in the world than not having someone to talk to about that.

Speaker 1:

I know that everyone's like, like parents and stuff Everyone says this, but it's true, your time will come. Your time will come when you find, like your tribe and your people and like genuinely I know I know adults say this and I know teachers say this and it's like, fuck like, shut up, shut up, I want it now, like other people have these friends and I don't have fucking like my tribe, like what the fuck? Like, stop talking. Like I want it now, like what do you mean? It will come, but genuinely it will come.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it will come and we, if you think about it, like we have literally only I mean, I don't know how old you are, but we have only been alive for 16 years and you live until whatever. Let's say 94. Let's say 90, right, that's pretty old. But let's say 90, right, like that's. 16 years is the smallest period of your life. Like, you will find your people, I promise you.

Speaker 2:

You're not even in the first like trimester of your life. Like you will be fine. And you are not the only one going through it.

Speaker 1:

You're not the only one going through it, and most of my life I've been going through that. I'm just lucky.

Speaker 2:

If you're like, 27 and you still don't have friends, then like then I get it. Then you can be like a little bit vengeful and like you know, but like you're 16, babe, give it 10 years exactly and even more, like it's okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's okay like and there's gonna be ups and downs and then also sorry, I know we're talking about friends, but it's okay. I have had so many conversations with some of my girlfriends being like, why am I not in a relationship? Why am I single? Why am I not in a relationship? And this I single, why am I not in a relationship? And this is just because I've I've been meaning to have this conversation with so many of my friends, but it's just like I'm just gonna get it all out of here.

Speaker 2:

Um, I think that and obviously I'm probably not the best like rely, most reliable source, but a lot of times, people I think it's really important to think about do you want it because you just, you just want it? Or do you want it because you think you're ready for it? Because, like, I have like one of my really good friends. I was talking to her about this and she was she's. She was saying she was like well, if everybody says that I'm pretty and everybody says that I'm nice, everybody says that I'm funny, why am I single? Why am I not in a relationship? Why does, why does it feel like nobody wants me? And I had this conversation with her and I was like, do you want a relationship because you want to feel loved or because you want to give love?

Speaker 2:

And also, do you want to be in a relationship because you, you just want it because of the like aesthetic, or do you genuinely think you're ready for it? Do you think that do you want, do you just want someone that would be a good partner, or do you think you're ready to be a good partner because, like me, for example, that was really deep. By the way, oh, thanks a lot. We have today's a really deep chat. Yeah, because I'm impressed. Yeah, for me, for example, I for ages I kind of shared that same thought. Ish and I, and then I was always kind of like, oh well, no, I think I'm ready, I think I would be a good partner. And then I got into a relationship and I wasn't, and I didn't realize that I wasn't ready because I didn't give myself that, that space to feel that which I think is why I'm such a big advocate for feeling your feelings and that just wasn't also fair to the other person.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, when and it wasn't fair to him at all because he was ready for it he was in a space where he was and I wasn't, and I didn't give myself the space to realize that or to feel that and and then, straight straight after you know we, that relationship ended. I had my friends come up to me and be like, well, why am I single if I'm pretty and I'm love and I'm like likable and I'm funny and I'm this? I'm like, yes, you are all of those things and so much more, but genuinely like, firstly, it's not like a click of a switch and it's not like, oh my god, like you know what I mean, you live in gold coast Australia. Like trust, trust, it's okay, you're 16 years old, your life is school and work, and like you know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and that's just me, because I have a pet peeve for people saying that they met their significant other on like fucking snapchat. Um, if you've met your significant other on snapchat, props to you. But like I hate it, um, sorry, but then, but then she'll, you know, they'll say all of that and I've asked them so many times. I'm like are you ready for it? Do you think you are? Because a lot of the times you don't allow yourself to feel what you need to feel.

Speaker 1:

If that makes any sense yeah, I understand and I'm also yeah. I'm also like people will tell me about relationships, like your time will come, like be quiet, like I don't want to be 18 and not have a relationship.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and I get that's the really big thing, because it's so like it pressured to be like to have that teenage love, that teenage romance.

Speaker 1:

I personally do feel pressured not to not about teen love and teen romance, but I feel pressured to have that experience yes, but like I don't want to be an adult, like legally an adult, 18 and not have had a relationship, yeah, see, I felt like that, but then also have. My standards are probably too high, but they're not too high. They're not too high, they're not too high. I just want someone who's kind and who cares for me, and who I find attractive. My boy is jacked and kind.

Speaker 2:

Do you not know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1:

No, Get out, but anyway, I know that sounded like selfish Does that sound selfish.

Speaker 2:

I don't think so Saying someone that I find attractive.

Speaker 1:

No, no.

Speaker 2:

That's how relationships work, you have to find the person attractive.

Speaker 1:

No, but yeah, I don't know, I don't think my standards are too high, but I just think I'm rambling.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's how I feel looks draw them, personality keeps them. So stop saying my time will come, like and it's just, it's hard because it's so like talk to and I think it's it. This goes for all kinds of relationships, like romantic and platonic as well, like friendships and having that big like um stereotypical, like big friend group and that perfect little teen love, like it's you know movies and watching other people and it's all about it's so like romanticized, it's so like oh my god, that's what I should have, that's that's the life I should be living.

Speaker 2:

I should have a big friend group with 35 people like which. Also, what the how does sleepovers work? It's my question, because I've been in big friend groups and we all kind of hated each other. So I don't, I don't trust you. No, I was in front of like 18 people and I hated like 75% of those bitches which they. I've actually blocked them from this podcast so they probably won't hear.

Speaker 1:

But if they do, you can't block them from the podcast. Oh, I have no. Once it's released, I blocked them from our socials. Yeah, what Did you not know that? No, but also once this is released, you can't block them from that. Oh lols.

Speaker 2:

Well, I hope they're here.

Speaker 1:

I stand by you and I support you. Thank you, but that sounded super toxic.

Speaker 2:

But no, it's a long story which maybe I'll like drop one day.

Speaker 1:

Like it's a little cutesy piece of lore.

Speaker 2:

But no it, which maybe I'll like drop one day, like a little piece of law, but no it genuinely it was.

Speaker 1:

It was a really toxic environment. Guys, apparently you can get blocked on our podcast that I didn't think we had any beef with anyone, because it's our podcast and we welcome everyone in this space. Oh, lol, just know that you can apparently be blocked by Maria lol maybe am I the problem, maybe you know it's problematic.

Speaker 2:

It's in the name.

Speaker 1:

It's in the name. You know what, you know what you're getting.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, so, but yeah, I can't believe you didn't know that. But we I was in a major friend group and it was like because it was romanticized and we needed to have that big friend group and it never ended well. And I've been in big friend groups and I've been with no friends and I've been like in those different environments and it never ended well. And I was like I need to have a teen love, I need to have a teen romance. And then I was like you know what? And then I kept getting myself really bad situations trying to achieve that. I was like you know what? No, I'm done, I don't need one.

Speaker 2:

And then I got in one and I was like, oh my god, yay, teen love, teen romance. And then it took me so long to like actually do some self-reflection and realize that like hey, you're actually not in a space where you're ready for this and you're also not able to give this person what they need, and that's not fair. And so I think that it's really really hard to acknowledge that or to just accept that. You know, maybe you're not going to get into a relationship when you're 16 because it's so romanticized and also about like friends about not having a friend group or not even any friends.

Speaker 1:

The avengers god um, I think that, like, not in the sense that, how we already said, your time will come just in the sense that like, um, also, this is coming from a person of this age but like we're not mature, like we're teenagers, like we're all teenagers, and it's hard, we literally can't even vote, like.

Speaker 2:

That's crazy. Do you know how to vote?

Speaker 1:

I don't know how to vote, we're all teenagers and once I am kind of referencing your time will come. But once you hit adulthood, you can become friends with 40-year-olds, with 30-year-olds, with people who, if you are a more mature person with people who? Oh, my God.

Speaker 2:

Oh my God, no, no, no, sorry, it's just because I'm thinking of P Diddy and Justin Bieber.

Speaker 1:

Oh my God, I'm ignoring you With people who are at your level of maturity, or if you're like, not in the sense of you're less mature, but just saying if you're less mature. Maybe you'll become more friends with like. If you're like in your 20s, you'll be with 18 year olds, like once you're an adult. It's so much easier. Also, I'm not an adult, but I am. I'm imagining once you're an adult is so much easier to find um your people.

Speaker 2:

Speaking of, have you been deep into the P? Did you see that? The flashing lights? Yeah, have you been deep into the P Diddy stuff? I am so deep in. P Diddy stuff I'm so deep I'm in this deep, massive, major black hole of the P Diddy case and all the rumours about Beyonce and Jay-Z and Kevin Hart, oh wait, can we just quickly say hey, hey, hey, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Thank you so much, beyonce.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, beyonce, for letting us record this, for letting us create a dramatic and problematic.

Speaker 1:

Thank you. Thank you for birthing this podcast idea from our minds Like thank you genuinely for creating us and birthing us. She's going to get us cancelled. My mum may have physically birthed me, but I know it was all because of you.

Speaker 2:

It was all because of Beyonce, so thank you.

Speaker 1:

Beyonce, our queen, we're going to get us cancelled, but no, it's just, I think.

Speaker 2:

And also with that case it's really really hard because social media is taking it and spun it and it's really hard to be like, okay, this is fact, this is hypothesized, that's with everything.

Speaker 1:

And this is rumor, that's with everything, even at school as well. Like you never know if it's a rumor or fact.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and it's so hard. But like the fact and I think, for example, people, it's fact that the FBI found tunnels under P Diddy's house. It's hypothesized that those tunnels lead to Michael Jackson and etc. Other celebrities' house, it is rumored to be made out as fact. Like it's a rumor that people are presenting as fact that P Diddy, beyonce and Jay-Z have conspired to kill Michael Jackson and they're reopening the case because Michael Jackson's alive as Dave, like girl. What Crazy. I Jackson. And they're reopening the case because Michael Jackson's alive as Dave, like girl. What? Yeah, it's crazy I think.

Speaker 1:

I think it is kind of for um, I feel like with this case, I have been following it and what you just said. A lot of the time I feel like I can tell on TikTok and Instagram or whatever where I'm like people are saying Beyonce's a lizard, but I feel like I can see, like the difference between what would be more fact and what would be more spiraled.

Speaker 2:

See, I thought that. I thought that the 1,000 bottles of baby oil was a rumor. No, no, that's fact. That's a fact, yes, that's fact, which is why I don't trust myself, because I'm like what the fuck do you mean?

Speaker 1:

That's fact. Maybe that's what we should go as for halloween some baby bottles of baby oil. But we can't be beyonce because nobody can be.

Speaker 2:

No, no, no, you may be honest and that saying that she, she's like they, it's crazy, just crazy. It's a crazy case. And then also, I think it's genuinely like we could have a whole podcast episode on the case but like we don't have the time, and also also how, like the downfall of Hollywood is pulling up because everyone and their mother literally their mother was at his parties.

Speaker 1:

But also there's a difference between his parties and the freak-offs, yes, and being like involved in the parties, but not even that there's a difference between his parties.

Speaker 2:

Because he's a celebrity, he's going to throw parties and the freak-offs, like they were two different events. But you know, our king, like people are saying michelle barack and michelle obama were at the freak offs. No, I well, maybe not, but michelle and barack obama, from what I saw, were at the parties and people are trying to say that my, my king and my queen were at the freak offs.

Speaker 1:

They were at the freak offs maybe you don't know crazy, crazy zendaya I saw zendaya and I was so sad. Okay, look, if you have not heard about this, I don't know how you would have not heard about this. You're living under a rock. You need to go on a deep dive.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to delegate the next half of our next episode to the bloody PDD case, because it means so much to me.

Speaker 1:

I'm so excited for things to come out.

Speaker 2:

I can't wait for the trial, what I find really funny is that I think this is like fat, I think this is rumor, I think this is a rumor. But I saw this thing where, like he was gonna, he's looking at like three life sentences, right for everything, um, but then apparently, if he like snitches, he's gonna get like two instead of three. And now he's gonna snitch and I'm like that's no way. No way, this man is being faced with three life sentences and he's gonna snitch to lose out on one. Like did he do the mental math? That has to be a rumor.

Speaker 1:

That has to be a rumor. Anyways, yeah, on that note, next episode well, we have something exciting. Yes, we're okay. We're hoping that this will happen. If it doesn't, we don't want to say it because it might not happen, but we are hoping this will happen because it's so exciting.

Speaker 2:

Yes, so next episode hopefully we've got some really exciting stuff coming out Maybe perhaps a special guest which we're praying, Praying, and now, because I'm dedicated, we will be yapping about the P Diddy case, Not just the P Diddy case. Maybe there'll be more information about it. Yeah, and we will go on a rant because I have a lot to say. I have a lot to say about a lot of stuff. I think half of our next episode is just going to be me going on a tangent which I hope you look forward to it.

Speaker 1:

I always look forward to it.

Speaker 2:

I always look forward to it. I always look forward to you. Oh, okay, so in saying that, we hope you stay overdramatic, what about our quotes? Oh sorry, yeah, getting ahead of myself, salon, what's your quote of the week?

No, get out of this room. So, firstly, I'm Brazilian. Domingo, for us, domingo means Sunday, but that's not what I'm referencing. I am referencing Ariana Grande's SNL skit where they say where the guy is Domingo. Have you not seen it?

Speaker 1:

Wait, is it the one where there's a few other people in it? Yeah, and she's like the bridesmaids wanted a celebration.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I know it. Yeah, I love it so much. Like, my favorite part is the one where she's like now she's with a hot guy but he looks gay, Heard his name's Domingo. Second location maybe his vice still vibing with Domingo. Third location definitely straight, she's dancing with Domingo. I've seen the video. I love it so much. So my Queer of the Week is Domingo, because I aspire to live life with Domingo. Energy, Not the cheating part, but it's so funny. It is so funny and I love it so much and I'll be humming it. People are like oh, is that espresso by Sabrina Carpenter? And I'm like I love my girl Sabrina, but no, it is Domingo Period. That's not espresso, it's tea. Well, In saying that, we hope you stay overdramatic and problematic. Have a wonderful week. We love you so much.
