Overdramatic and Problematic
Inside Chaotic Minds: Our Origin Stories
Step into the final chapter of our debut season as Silan and Maria take you on a journey through their formative years and the places that shaped them. With raw honesty and their signature chaotic energy, they peel back the layers of growing up in Byron Bay's "bubble" – a world where the Gold Coast seemed like a far-off destination and farm life shaped daily existence.
Overdramatic and Problematic.
Speaker 2:Welcome back to Overdramatic and Problematic.
Speaker 1:I am Ceylon and I'm Maria, and this is our landing episode.
Speaker 2:Our last episode.
Speaker 1:Are you sad? Are you depressed? Wait, before we start, take a breath with us.
Speaker 2:That was very ASMR-y. Yeah, I know you needed it.
Speaker 1:I needed it, we all needed it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if you guys are like us, you probably normally have very stressful weeks.
Speaker 1:You probably cannot catch a break, and I don't know about you, but I am particularly sleep deprived today yes, I have been going to bed at like 12 to 1 to 2 to 11 for the past two weeks and which for some people isn't too weird normal. Some people get like three hours of sleep.
Speaker 2:But for Solange if she's not in bed by 9 pm that is not true.
Speaker 1:I gotta if she's not in bed by 9pm. That is not true. I got her in bed at 9.30.
Speaker 2:Sorry, forgive me If she's not in bed by 9.25. 30. 9.25. She is Satan reincarnate. You do not want to be around her, that's okay. Or early in the morning, like I was having a shower this morning and she came in silent, didn't speak to me and I went morning and she looked at me and she went, give me the dirtiest look and I was like okay, okay.
Speaker 1:How are you? I actually, when my clock hits 9.30.
Speaker 2:Looked me up in town and went.
Speaker 1:When my clock hits 9.30, I go and brush my teeth and then I put on my pajamas, and then I pee and then I go to bed. So I go to bed like 9.40. Right, right, right, that doesn't actually matter. We are sidetracked. So this is actually our landing episode. This is our last episode for season one Season one.
Speaker 2:Yeah Season, this season, I'm going to go with this season, this season Of Overdramatic and Problematic.
Speaker 1:Your new now favourite episode, not so new now I guess yeah, it's new for us right now, but it's really been such a big journey for us. I feel like we've learnt so much, and especially from our first episode. I feel like, as you listen, you gradually like. We get.
Speaker 2:I feel like a little bit more serious but also a bit more less chaotic, a bit more less. That doesn't feel grammatically correct, but what we realized was that we never, you know, we yap about ourselves a lot because self-absorbed, of course, but we've never really done like a little backstory, get to know you kind of episode. So today's episode is a little bit of like.
Speaker 1:More about us? Yeah, because you know us as hosts.
Speaker 2:You've been listening to us, but you don't actually really know us if you know, and also you know, I figured we we've just done an interview episode which you should have seen, and if you haven't, clicked out and go watch that it's incredible. It's amazing. We love, love, love, love, love, love her. But we figured it'd probably be very kind of fun to do a little bit of interviewing each other. So that's what we're doing today. But before we get into that, how was your week?
Speaker 1:Look, honestly, I've actually had a really good week. Like I've been really happy and I've been really like I feel like I've been really positive and I've been like getting my way through it. Like I've been really like I feel like I've been really positive and I've been like getting my way through it. Like I've been obviously really sleep deprived, the like it's been rough the past two weeks, but I'm I'm like I'm not suffering. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, because, like I've been busy in the fact, when I'm like I'm sleep deprived, I've been complaining about that, but I'm doing, yeah, but I'm doing really exciting things like for like this is just one example that just came up I went to like wicked, which was incredible. The musical, it was amazing. I want to go to wicked, so bad.
Speaker 2:I okay, I actually started a petition at my school because I got drama captain, which you know, but I will drama ambassador is what we call it. But, um, I went around getting people to sign a paper and I drafted out an email to the head of the arts department, who's my drama teacher, and we've already asked her to take us to Wicked. And she said no. But I wrote out an email to the arts department which is her basically telling them like, take us to Wicked. And I chucked in a bunch of puns and like song references and then I'm going to attach the signature list, hopefully. And then I'm going to attach the signature list, hopefully on Friday and just bully her into taking us to Wicked Did you get any teachers to sign the petition I have actually.
Speaker 2:That's good, that's pretty good, I'm motivated and I will be seeing Wicked one way or another. And if you see on the local news 16-year-old girl arrested for breaking into QPAC, look, this conversation never happened.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so it's been incredible things Like it's been like amazing opportunities and stuff Just like busy, you know, yeah, but that's always the case. How about?
Speaker 2:you. My week has been, honestly, I've had a pretty hectic and I was going to say, productive, but that's not true because I'm, as we know, very big on procrastinating. So the reason it's been so stressful is because I'm heading into exam season now. I just did my first exam today, which was my drama exam, which was my first ATAR proper exam exam. That's crazy, which is so scary. But I did that today. And then you know, I'm starting all my other exams, and most of them are semester exams and all that stuff. But we've spoken about this I don't study. I'm really really bad when it comes to study. My exam prep for this exam, I did it the like the class before.
Speaker 1:So I do like, not the class sorry, I just took a sip of water, if you could hear a weird noise my exam was the last two periods of the day and I studied the first four, so I was very, very productive.
Speaker 2:Actually, should I have studied before? Look, that's besides the point. Have I studied for any of the exams coming up? And again, I say that's besides the point. Um, so that's been very stressful, but it's self-inflicted.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've never actually studied for an exam, I don't think.
Speaker 2:Get out, literally get out, not even like a speedy little before class.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I get A's, and they get A's.
Speaker 1:If she dies, it was me, and honestly, I'm going to take full responsibility for it. I know you're talking about your week, but this is just so funny so I'm not admitting to this. So, even though this is in public, I'm not admitting to it. This is a imagine, imagine, hypothetical scenario Hypothetically there was a person whose name was Sally and she had never cheated on an exam ever before. And she decided to cheat on one exam that was a french exam because she was she was struggling with her french.
Speaker 1:Um, sally used to take french and this one exam that sally cheated on, she got her worst mark ever that she's got in french the one exam that sally decided to cheat on. She got her worst mark, so I just thought I'd put that in there.
Speaker 2:Probably worse than if Sally had tried to do it like just go for it. Yeah, oh, it's okay, but it's you know, it's not you, it's a hypothetical.
Speaker 1:Exactly, it's hypothetically Hypothetical scenario, poor Sally.
Speaker 2:For legal reasons, but, yeah, that was self-inflicted. But I have very productive because I okay. So I used to work in retail and I've spent the past, this past year, just in the hospitality industry and I miss retail, especially with the upcoming Christmas season, but what I miss the most about it is the discounts. I miss the discounts and I miss smelling like perfume instead of smelling like food. So I went around and I printed out my resume, which is pink, of course, oh beautiful. I printed out my resume, which is pink, of course, oh beautiful.
Speaker 1:I printed out my resume. My resume is grey. That's so sad. It sounds sad. But it looks nice. But it sounds sad. I might actually change it to pink. Did you just have an attack?
Speaker 2:If you heard that I'm like dying. Do you have asthma? Give me a second. Okay, do you Suspected Like I've been?
Speaker 1:But you don't have a puffer.
Speaker 2:No, because I've been.
Speaker 1:So basically no, go back, no, let me tell you this You've got me started.
Speaker 2:Basically all my school nurses and my actual GP have been like hey, homegirl, I think you have asthma, let's go get you tested. But we just never got me tested, so like I do, but I don't what a story time.
Speaker 1:Okay, go back to your resume what? Is with the negativity. It's not negative, I'm positive, we are so excited. Back to the resume.
Speaker 2:I let you rant on about Sally, anyway, but my resume is pink and I went around handing it out and there are a few places which I'm really hoping are going to hit me up, and then I can get a job and I can get the staff discounts and I just think it'll be very, very nice.
Speaker 1:That means I get the staff discounts. Yes, it does. None of you bitches.
Speaker 2:Again for legal reasons. If my future employer is listening, that is a joke. Oh yeah, she does not have access to my employee discount. No, I don't.
Speaker 1:For legal purposes. She has access to it and I just steal her stuff from her wardrobe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that's how I get it For legal purposes. I just buy double of everything. Yeah, that's just how I get it, because I can afford it, obviously Because you're paying me so well. Yeah, legal purposes, but yeah. So I'm really excited and I hope I actually have an interview tomorrow. That's very exciting. Fingers crossed, it goes well. Fingers crossed Raise the overdramatic and problematic lords and the retail gods, hallelujah.
Speaker 1:We love you, retail gods.
Speaker 2:I feel you I don't actually.
Speaker 2:maybe that's racist she's trying to do the Lion King song but then I just realised I think it's in, like, in sensitive. I think it's in like, oh forgive, yeah, I think it's in like, oh, forgive me, I'm not going to phrase this right An African dialogue, but I don't, I don't actually know it. My whole life all I've sung is so we should probably yeah, anyways. Speaking of Lion King, well, it is a speaking of that movie. Sorry, I just have to put it out.
Speaker 2:There was anyone else severely traumatized by Mufasa's death scene? Like no, genuinely, it still haunts my nightmares and one, the reason that I got like the first stand-up comedy that I ever watched that like I really resonated with was Jack Whitehall saying that Mufasa was a king. Like he was saying after he watched the Lion King he didn't go't go to school for like a while because he was so depressed about it. And I think his mom was like, oh, for god's sake, jack, like he was just like a character, he was just a lion and he was like mufasa was a king anyways, I, because it used to. Um, lion king and beating the beast are my mom's favorite disney movies and we used to watch them on repeat and to this day I cannot sit through the Lion King without sobbing my little heart out because it's so sad and unnecessary.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I never cry when humans die, but I cry when animals die he did not need Wait, not in real life, in movies. In movies, not in real life.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, I'm actually going to get emotional just like thinking about these feelings. I have a feeling, yeah, janine's like Scar brother, help me, and Scar's like oopsie daisies.
Speaker 1:I have a feeling this episode isn't going to be very simple. And Simba's like Dad. Dad, she's not even listening to me, she's just going through the whole script in her mind.
Speaker 2:So sad I was actually in the Lion King musical.
Speaker 1:Sorry, disclaimer I don't think this episode is going to be very sensitive towards any um everything.
Speaker 2:This may be the episode that gets us cancelled. And so you're weak, so you're heartless, so I'm guessing your week was good.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, yeah, that's what we were talking about. Lol, that's what I meant, not that you're weak, like sensitive. I meant like, so how was your I?
Speaker 2:thought you were calling me like soft. It was like because you're heartless.
Speaker 1:um no, I just meant that you were talking about your week, because I'm heartless.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my week was, you know, count contradictory.
Speaker 1:Yeah, very, you know ups and downs.
Speaker 2:But that's life. But this week I have nails, me too.
Speaker 1:They're pink. Yeah, they're both pink. Guess what? We're matching fully. We have pink nails. We have both green jumpers and pink singlets underneath our pink jumpers and different varying jeans.
Speaker 2:Very impressive, yeah, and we didn't even plan it.
Speaker 1:No, we didn't even plan it. Anyways, can I start? Yeah, go, okay. So I guess it's kind of a weird kind of point to start. I'm like you're like, who are you, solana? And I'm just, I'm me. But I guess I want to start at the beginning. Jesus Christ, I was both. No, I'm joking, I'm joking.
Speaker 2:Well, maybe that's not a story time that people need to hear.
Speaker 1:I was joking, so yes, as I've already like mentioned, I grew up in Byron, but I still Seems twins. Yeah, we both grew up in Byron, but I still live there, just like weekends and holidays. Eat the rich what.
Speaker 2:I'm kidding. I'm kidding Again. For legal purposes? I'm kidding, I know, not even for legal purposes, for life purposes, I'm kidding. No, not even for legal purposes. For life purposes I'm kidding, anyways.
Speaker 1:So I actually grew up on a farm my whole life. I am a farm girl. She had chickens, they all died. I had horses, cows, highland Scottish cows, they died Chickens, guinea fowls, lizards, bunnies. And they died Pigeons guinea fowls, lizards bunnies and they die.
Speaker 2:Dogs, cats.
Speaker 1:And they die. Yeah, we can't look after animals apparently no, no, the horses and cows didn't die?
Speaker 2:Did your parents tell you they got sent to a farm? Sweetie I'm going to hold your hand when I say this. When a parent tells you that your beloved pet has been shipped off to another farm, that is code death.
Speaker 1:You know the way my parents told me that my dog died is. They took me and my brother home. My mom took me and my brother home from school and sorry, at school, when she was picking us up, she was like Solana, I have to tell you something.
Speaker 2:And I was like what is it? What is it?
Speaker 1:What is it? She's like no, you have to wait till you get home, oh God. And then we go home and she sat me and my brother down on the dining table and she put a tub of ice cream in the middle of the table, and then she told us that our dog had died. And then we went to go bury him and I jumped in the grave with him. Sorry, sorry, hey, that's not no, I was sad what he was.
Speaker 2:I was sad. I'm confused. Was it like his body and you jumped on top of his body?
Speaker 1:I jumped him with his body and was like hugging him. I was really sad.
Speaker 2:You were. It was my dog. That's unhygienic.
Speaker 1:But it was my dog. How old were you?
Speaker 2:Maybe six Old? How old were you? Maybe six? Old enough to know that's unhygienic? It was my dog and he was dead.
Speaker 1:Okay, anyways, that was not your dog, that was a corpse Salon. I thought that was a funny story. Wait, oh my God, yeah, he's actually buried in my backyard.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God, I probably walked on him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we made him a little like tombstone thing, but it's gone now, so scary okay.
Speaker 2:So two years ago when I went to brazil, um, my one of my really, really good friends, she had a cat, keep in mind. When I went to brazil she had a cat. I came back and I went to her house and she was one of the first people that I actually hung out with when I got back and I'm at her house and normally her cat is roaming around and I went, oh, where's your cat? And she goes, oh, I'll go get her for you. And I'm like, okay, this bitch leaves, leaves and comes back and hands me a wooden box and I'm like no, and I'm like, oh, and she's like read what it says. And I read the box and it tells me that it's the ashes of her cat and I drop the box.
Speaker 1:And the ashes scattered.
Speaker 2:They didn't scatter, but the box like broke, the ashes scattered like they almost went everywhere. Oh my God, thank God it was carpet, because if I had dropped it on the like the linoleum floor or the tiles, ashes.
Speaker 1:But imagine if it did break in the carpet. The ashes would just be everywhere in the carpet.
Speaker 2:But also who and I know she's listening to this, you crazy bitch. Who does that, who makes ashes of her? Instead of telling me, oh, like my cat died. I went oh, it's your cat.
Speaker 1:She said oh, go get her and comes back and hands me the box of her ashes, but I've never heard about people getting ashes from their pets. Anyway. So I grew up in.
Speaker 2:Byron oh my God, speaking of ashes, have you ever, did you watch my Strange Addiction? Did you have a my Strange Addiction phase? Not like us, okay? Well, for those of you that have seen my Strange Addiction, it basically it's this. It's exactly what it sounds like. It's this camera crew and like interviewers, and they go around and they follow people that are addicted to really weird things or like have really weird habits, and one of them was a woman who was addicted to eating her husband's ashes.
Speaker 1:And just to reiterate, it was a woman who was addicted to eating her husband's ashes, but how can you be addicted if it's like how much ashes comes from a human?
Speaker 2:Girl. She had like a little baggie.
Speaker 1:No, but I mean like if it's like an addiction, is like you do it like heaps of times right and you can't stop. But how much ashes does a human create?
Speaker 2:Everything she ate, she'd eat like a spoonful. In the morning She'd sprinkle it over her food as seasoning. She did it like literally since her husband died, so she was a cannibal.
Speaker 1:oh, I didn't think of it like that, so that's illegal so she should be in jail.
Speaker 2:Disgusting? Well, not really, because technically she wasn't eating his flesh, so I grew up in byron, um, I grew up as a farm girl.
Speaker 1:I also lived in my early, early early stages of um childhood. I lived in Bali and New Zealand. I don't remember it though, because I was a a very much baby child, um, but yeah, I grew up. Oh, if somebody doesn't actually know where we're from, we're from the Gold Coast. Yes, we live on the Gold.
Speaker 2:Coast I feel we should have. But yeah, we live on the Gold Coast, um and so which? Also, can I just say I despise how bipolar the weather is here, because I was gonna say sunny, sunny gold coast but it's actually not the sunny, sunny gold coast, because the sunny, sunny gold coast is boiling hot and yet cloudy during the days and then at night it's storming all the time. But even despite the fact that it is storming non-stop, it is still not like cold or like a pleasurable like temperature. It is boiling hot and stuffy and humid and I hate it and my skin hates it and my hair hates it and I despise whoever is in charge of whether, if I meet them, they are getting bashed on the spot. It's on site.
Speaker 1:Sorry period byron um yeah, so I didn't grow up in like the center of town. I grew up, and she lives in like an center of town, I grew up and lived.
Speaker 2:She lives in like an Indie underground bushland middle of nowhere.
Speaker 1:I live 15 minutes away from town.
Speaker 2:Indie, underground bushland, middle of nowhere.
Speaker 1:She lives in Timbuktu 15 minutes from town, timbuktu, and it's in the hinterland and I'm also in the rainforest. Um, I grew up riding, riding horses. I was a show jumper. I grew up loving animals. Yeah, I now get scared of bugs, um, but I guess my experiences living in Byron I didn't even know, like, how big the world was. I always, always went traveling. So not in that sense I'd been overseas, but I only moved to the Gold Coast in year seven and I, living in Byron, it is really, it, actually is a bubble.
Speaker 2:It is the Byron bubble. It's definitely its own little world. And I genuinely thought Except for now with the whole serial killer thing.
Speaker 1:We'll get into that later. You know, pacific fair shopping center. I, I would hope everyone knows it. Um, I used to think that was ages away and I would go there maybe once or twice a year and it would be the biggest. Biggest, like, um, what's it called like excursion? No, what's it called like like not road trip, but like biggest biggest thing happening in my life. Oh, there's a word for it.
Speaker 2:Biggest, like we know what you mean, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's how, like, genuinely, how much Gold Coast and Byron was separated to me I don't know to everyone but to me and then I went to quite a few different primary schools and then in year seven I got into a performing arts high school in the Gold Coast and my parents are still together. Okay, weird flex, but okay, it's not a flex I was just about to say, because I moved up to the Gold Coast Monday to Friday to go to school with my parents. That's why I'm like, because I live in both places, I don't have divorce parents. Divorce, babe Divorce.
Speaker 2:Divorce Beheaded. Died. Divorced Beheaded.
Speaker 1:Survived. Oh my bad.
Speaker 2:But just for you, tonight we're divorced, beheaded.
Speaker 1:Live. Oh, so that's right, it is live Anyway. Oh live, live. We're divorced, beheaded. Oh so that's right, it is live anyway. So, oh live, live, not lied anyways. Um, so I moved to the gold coast um monday to friday, and then I go back every weekend and holidays. And then last year I moved schools to another school. Um, forgot that I can't say names of schools I go to, otherwise hashtag the serial killers will come for us. Jokes, jokes, maybe not, but now, oh, my god, my, what are you doing? She's doing some weird thing with her hands.
Speaker 1:It's really weird it looks like she's done like. You know how chefs put salt on food like in that really fancy weird way they like chuck it. She's doing some weird things with her hands.
Speaker 2:I'm just like shaking out the excess like physical energy. Oh, you've got a lot of energy, just physically. Mentally, no, but physically I'm just like getting it out, okay, period, and this is how my buddy's choosing to do it.
Speaker 1:So ignore the little chef's dinosaur hands. Fair enough. And now, oh my God, the world is so much bigger.
Speaker 2:I have learned so, so much I can show you the world she's eaten a lot of sugar before this, so she's been on a sugar high. Tell me, princess, when did you last let your heart decide? Hey, very nice, I love it. Guys, I loved. Sorry, I'm in a Disney chatty mood today. I loved the live action Aladdin. Did you love the live action Aladdin? It was amazing. I loved the live action Aladdin. Sorry, I felt the need to put that out there. Continue, are you sure you haven't taken?
Speaker 1:anything before this. Jokes, Jokes. That's not real.
Speaker 2:For legal purposes? That's a joke. Now for reality purposes. Yes, I sniffed some cocaine. I'm kidding.
Speaker 1:Take it back. It's not true, it's not.
Speaker 2:Sniff. No, it's not true, guys. It's not true. It's not true, sniff. No, it's not true, guys, it's not true. It's not true, maria. No, I'm kidding. You have to take it back. I am taking it back. I'm kidding. I've just we had scones with cream and jam.
Speaker 1:Okay, we're good now, just for the legal purposes again, anyways so the last episode, it's the first, last episode of the season.
Speaker 1:Yes, I, oh my God. What I was saying is that the world, wow, I know so much more and I am so glad I also moved to the Gold Coast, because I really do, hannah Montanerick, get the best of both worlds. But if I stayed in Byron, I genuinely would have never learned so many things. Yeah, also, when I lived in Byron, gold Coast was like a different world like it was like oh Gold.
Speaker 1:Coast, you know, but it's not true. It's not like that and everybody still thinks not everyone. Sorry a lot of people in. Byron still think that way, and it's totally not true.
Speaker 2:It is different obviously because it's a country town, what I found really funny. Well, country not so much anymore as when we were kids, but no but what I find when we were kids, the good old days, the youth nowadays.
Speaker 2:Don't get it. But what I find really, curtis, is like what the fuck is wrong with you guys? But what I found really funny when we used to live there, which was back when I was moved, I would come up and down a lot. Like before I moved here was I moved before Slander. I moved in like end of year four but I used to come up a lot was people would like say they were going on holidays and then I'd be like oh yeah, where are you going? Surfers Paradise, sweetie.
Speaker 2:Sweetie, that's not even a road trip yeah, but it was back then like it was a total holiday, but like it just. It just goes to show the lack of like, like realization. Yeah, but I guess it's us as well, like when you're like little, like the whole world just seems like yeah, but also the gold coast.
Speaker 1:Even for my parents, like the gold coast used to feel so far away, like in distance, and now I drive it every weekend like, I drive it like four times a week, yeah, like, and it's, it feels so nice yeah, it's really like so crazy as well, even like people here in the gold coast, um, so like caressing your head yeah, she is cursing my hand um, a lot of people in the gold coast and I'm not trying to like, I know this isn't, this is just a few people. This is a few people not generalizationization.
Speaker 1:Yeah, not generalization. But a lot of people are like, oh my God, byron, and they're like crystals and oh my God, I love Byron and all of that. It's true, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2:But it's also not.
Speaker 1:It's not when, like it is a hippie town. My parents were hippies, but it's also such. Yeah, they still are, but they like lived in a tree.
Speaker 2:Your mum, my parents, no, I mean like still is.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, but they lived in a tree house. Anyway, besides the point, it is like that, but it's also like so big as well. Like I know it's a small town but it's so different and it's like Gold Coast. How, like you talk about other parts of the Gold Coast and you'll be like, oh, that's so different to here and even like, for example, like Burley and Upper Coomera, like they're very different but it's the Gold Coast.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah, because I love how we can go like a 30-minute rant about Byron and the Gold Coast, but I will say, because we're like basically the same person, different font, my story is very similar Grew up in Brazil, came to Australia, lived in Byron moved to the Gold Coast.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's pretty, but you moved. You said in year four I moved up here. End of year four. So you went to primary school as well in Gold Coast Hellish location. I can say that which would have been different, because I did all of my primary school in Byron, in that small world, and you went from the small world into the big world. Which primary did you go to?
Speaker 2:Oh, you can't say names. What was I going to say? Sorry, I just. I really want to go on a rant about Disney for a second.
Speaker 1:No, oh, we've already ranted about Disney like three times. We ranted about Byron for 30 minutes.
Speaker 2:It's been like five minutes. Do you want to?
Speaker 1:tell us about your life.
Speaker 2:Well, since we're doing like a little interview style, that's my interview to you. Were you a Disney child? Yeah, obviously Were you a Disney kid. Were you a Nickelodeon kid? Like what kind of kid were you?
Speaker 1:So this is the kind of kid I was. I still have this. Was anyone else?
Speaker 2:threatened by that. I felt like that was like an attack on my life.
Speaker 1:So I still have the same TV. I have a very, very old TV that you know my childhood consisted of plugging a hard drive or something whatever it's called in that had a few movies downloaded onto it, so I would rewatch the same movies. I now have Apple TV plugged into it, but it doesn't work because it's really old TV, so I grew up on watching the same set of movies. What were those movies? Some Barbie movies like Barbie, princess Charm.
Speaker 2:School, all of that.
Speaker 1:A few Kung Fu Panda movies, a few Shrek movies, turbo Bolt Do you remember Bolt the dog, the dog, the dog? Yeah, that was scary, I was scared of that as a kid, that was scary.
Speaker 2:You were scared of the dog, but I loved it.
Speaker 1:No, the evil guy. Ah, I guess it's Rio the birds.
Speaker 2:Disney Rio. Oh yeah, I thought you called the evil guy Rio and I went. Oh. Love Rio, I love Rio I actually re-watched that in my legal instead of studying with my friend. It was wonderful For legal purposes.
Speaker 1:That's not true. No, it is true, my teacher watched it with us For her scholarship purposes. That's not true.
Speaker 2:Oh right, for the heads of department that's not true. But oh my God, my legal teacher. It's such a vibe. Me and my friend were sitting down and we were. We sit next to his, like my teacher's chair, and we were just sitting down, we were watching Rio and he goes guys, what are you doing? And we went we're watching Rio, sir. And he went oh, which one? And we went oh, we're finishing up the first one, we're going to watch the second one. He's like let me know when you're watching the second one. And we went oh say, can you help me with this? And he went in a second hold on, let me finish the song. He's such an icon, I love him so much.
Speaker 1:You know what my favorite movie was? As a kid and I swear by it. I don't know if you'll know it, but it was called Hotel for the Dogs. Yes, who doesn't know? Hotel for the Dogs? Oh my God, hotel for the Dogs was incredible.
Speaker 2:That's an indie, underground movie and I've not met a single person that's seen it, and it drives me insane because I think that it's a part of my coma. For references, I think that my life is a coma.
Speaker 1:I think that I'm currently in a coma and I have a story time to support that. I hope not, because then that means I'm in a coma.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that means this podcast didn't happen, which is so sad. But my coma fever dream movie is. It is called Song of the Sea. It's an animated movie and it's about this woman who is a Kelpie, I think they're called. They're like the seal people. She has, like the white cloak and she's a seal. And you know, you take the cloak off and you become a beautiful seductive woman. She takes it off, comes up on shore and she ends up at this lighthouse where this man works. At the lighthouse they fall in love. They have two children a little blonde boy and a little baby girl. When the girl is still a little baby, the mum puts her cloak back on, becomes a seal and goes back to the ocean. Right.
Speaker 1:A real seal, like an actual seal. Yes, like the animal, like a gorgeous white silky seal.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's like an Irish myth, I'm pretty sure what movies were you watching? And then the little girl can't speak and so she gets kind of like bullied because she can't speak and her family is very, very concerned.
Speaker 2:Because she's a seal and her brother is very bitter about the fact that, you know, his mum left and whatever. So then the grandma, who's the dad's mom, ends up taking the kids back to the city, giving aquaman to the city where she lives, and they they're hunted down by this evil woman who's like an owl and she sends like. She sends like owls after them. She's like an owl woman and she sends owls after them and they're like, rescued by spirits. And then the spirits find out that even the little girl can't talk. She can sing the song of the sea and then by the end, she, she finds a cloak, becomes a kelpie and joins her mom in the ocean song of the sea. It's an animated movie. Look it up.
Speaker 2:Amazing was my entire childhood, because it was the only movie that my mom had downloaded on her laptop. And I, I, I, when I moved in the, I lived in the Byron Shire area, not specifically Byron Bay. Like you, yeah, um, I lived in Lenox Heads and we I don't know if you've ever been to Lenox, but it's a big camping area and there's always so many power outages all the time, so many power shortages, or at least there was when I was really little and um, so you know, I'd be, I'd be home, there'd be nothing to do, it'd be nighttime, power shortage and it was still like dvd era. So we would watch dvds, but obviously the tv isn't turning on. Oh so my. So my mom had this one movie. I don't know how she found it. I think it was my stepdad at the time who, like, came across it. It was downloaded her laptop and I would watch it religiously. Amazing movie. I've yet to meet another person who's seen it.
Speaker 1:My siblings watched it with me.
Speaker 2:They don't remember. My mum doesn't remember my stepdad I don't talk to him anymore, but my mum doesn't remember and my siblings don't either. But I Googled it and it's a real movie Interesting. It's a real movie and it's an amazing movie.
Speaker 1:So please, if you've either seen it, let me know that I'm not. It's not part of my coma fever dream and if you haven't, go watch it so that I'm not alone. Thank you, I remember the cds that we used to own. Was do you remember? I don't know what it's called, but those the animated dinosaur movies where dinosaur train no, dinosaur train was a tv show the dinosaurs where he had like friends, good dinosaur no, that's an actual movie on CD. It's like everybody knows it, like something Dinosaur Time or something. Oh, the purple dinosaur no, that's Barney the dinosaur. Like something like of like old times, something of like old times, something of like old times, like that was the name.
Speaker 2:What, yes, the Land.
Speaker 1:Before Time, curtis. Thank you, what did I miss? I was right, like old times.
Speaker 2:What is the Land Before Time?
Speaker 1:Man behind the camera. Thank you, curtis. The Land Before Time. It was like animated dinosaurs, it was amazing. I had it on DVD, did not watch that one. It was like animated dinosaurs, it was amazing, I had it on DVDs.
Speaker 2:Did not watch that one.
Speaker 1:I fear not, I feel. I feel that a lot of people have watched it because I think it was very common.
Speaker 2:Not only was I a Disney kid, you know what kind of kid I was. I was a backyardigan kid, backyardigan, backyardigan, I don't know In Portuguese Back garden.
Speaker 1:In.
Speaker 2:Portuguese, he was backyardigans back garden. No, do you know what I'm talking about? No, do you think I know portuguese yardigans? Back guardigans, back yardigans. I think it's backyardigans. They're like, they're like, they're like the little like people, they're like animated and they're like animals and they go on like little like adventures and they have like a catchy little like intro song. Do you know what I'm talking about? No, backyardigans, I think that's what they're called. And yeah, it was. Oh, it was amazing. See, that's how I feel about the land before time.
Speaker 1:I'm so confused. But yeah, so I also like I was a kid who grew up on, because my brother, he's, um, really amazing at computers and as a kid, uh, he would have this for legal purposes, this is hypothetically. Hypothetically, he would have downloaded, like the pirate, like um, movies and um, oh, I really want to say the name of the site we use, but I'm not saying that for legal purposes. I'm, I'm, this is hypothetical um, so I used to watch like every movie, I guess, as I got older, because, like, yeah, as a kid I just watched what I was given.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so I watched all of the Disney movies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was a Disney kid. I was a Disney kid. Yeah, I feared Disney. I was a Disney kid, but I refused to become a Disney adult. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:I refused to become a Disney adult.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Like they come up with my TikTok all the time all the time and look I don't want to say that I'm a judgmental person, but if we've learned one thing you don't want to say that, but if we've learned one thing on this podcast is that I have the tendency to be a little bit of a hater, just a little um.
Speaker 2:and they, they, they, full dress up in costume and go to disney every day and I'm like do you live there? How are you going there? Every single sweetie, do you have a job? Because I fear this is past the point of a midlife crisis and you need assistance. No, but also Disney's expensive. Yeah, how are you going there? Every single day. Are you sponsored? Maybe? I fear not. I fear they have a restraining order against you and that's why you pull up in different costumes every day.
Speaker 1:Anyways, I wanted to ask you what the difference of I know you only grew up in kind of young ages there, but I know you've also been back what the difference between living and growing up in Brazil to Australia.
Speaker 2:I knew you were going to ask that Safety I knew you were going to ask that Safety. I'm Batman. I've just saved Gotham. Where is she?
Speaker 1:I've just saved Gotham. I am Batman. I've just saved Gotham.
Speaker 2:Where is she? I've just saved.
Speaker 1:Gotham. I am Batman. Batman doesn't say he's Batman. Cut out, anyways, safety.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So A lot of people actually ask that, but for me, I think, as a kid, if you had asked me, compared to like now, having moved back there, it's very different. I love Brazil, I love the food, I love the culture. I love thezil. I love the food, I love the culture, I love the people, I love the vibe, I love the life force. Um, it's just, it's so much fun, like genuinely the energy of living there is more fun, but what I will say is that none of it compares to the safety of living here, um, like being able to like. Okay, one time my teacher came into class late. She was really really late. She was like two hours late and we were all really confused. We were like oh where have you been?
Speaker 1:um twin where have you been? I think you've sung that song like 70 times on this podcast.
Speaker 2:Thank you too. But anyways, she came in really really late. We were like girl, are you good? And she was like I just got robbed, what? And then everybody was like oh, lols, like they took it so casually. And I went are you okay? And she went, yeah, oh, my God, Stupid idiot kids like down by the bridge. And then like oh, yeah, yeah, we know them. Is this Brazil or Australia? Brazil, obviously, oh. And it was like common for people to get robbed by them. And I was like oh, and you know? And then everybody started sharing like getting jumped story times and at this point I still hadn't been like robbed on the street. But she, yeah, she dropped the story time.
Speaker 2:And I had, I had like an iPhone 8, but I had a clear case and I had like a 50 Brazilian dollar bill in the back and I took my phone out of my pocket and some kid from across the class went, yo, are you trying to be next? And I went, sorry, and he went you walk around like that, you are asking to be shot on sight. And I was like you're kidding. And then everybody in the class was like no, are you crazy?
Speaker 2:Because I used to walk to my grandma's boyfriend's house from school. It was a short walk, but you know what I mean. I'm not just going to walk stiffly, I would go on my phone and they were like you're going to get killed. So I just think it's little things. Like you can't go on your phone, you have to wait, like have a purse that you can cross across your body, because that makes it harder to steal. You can't have any cash like easily accessible on you. Like there are some places in the street where you have to make sure you lock your doors and like pull your windows up and there are other places where you have to roll with your windows down and drive slowly so you don't get shot at.
Speaker 2:Um, and I've been, my car's been caught in like crossfire between like gang wars and like it's so chaotic, but also so you're just living a marvel movie yeah, but also I think one thing that people a lot of people like don't really think about is they either have the notion that brazil is either just completely unsafe and it's just poverty and it's just like gang wars and drug lords and like that kind of like ugly side, which is true, but other people just have the notion that it's just like the, like rio and like partying yeah and like partying and like nikki goes on the beach and kind of vow and like um, like rich, like brazilian people, and like where everybody walks around in little booty shorts, like that kind of stuff, and I'm like, okay, I can't even lie, they both exist, but they exist simultaneously and there's a middle ground which I fear is the same for every single place.
Speaker 2:I think it's we have an australia as well. But if you yeah, but it's just if you ask, like most brazilian people, they tell you like it's like the two main stereotypes that you encounter are those yeah, and the people that believe in them, they either believe, they just believe in them, like they don't see the other part at all. Yeah, but yeah, that's kind of like the difference between living there and living here. And I will say the food I'm the food there is so much better and I miss the food.
Speaker 1:maria is quite a picky eater and in brazil it's like meat and rice and beans and everything you love.
Speaker 2:Lots of barbecue the typical plate will have some kind of protein, rice beans, some salad, some chips. That's like your typical average plate. We have lots of different meals as well. Yeah, of course, what I'm saying is like, for example, when I tell you we're going to go to the bakery, what do you envision?
Speaker 1:I envision lots of sweets and like lamingtons and don't know. Yeah, like that's the vibe, yeah yeah, like those old, like kind of fashion bakery, not like old-fashioned, but you know the ones that just have the cabinet with all of the like yeah yeah beasting and all that brazil.
Speaker 2:You go, we say let's go to a bakery. Every bakery is gonna have a little supermarket supermarket section with like all the drinks and like yogurts and like that kind of stuff. They're gonna have all the sourdough breads and like you can, because people don't buy bread from the supermarket, you buy bread from the bakery. So they have like the little. It's like big walls with like different like baskets and you grab like the little, like tongs, yeah, and you grab your breads and we've got like little french rolls and brioche and um sourdough and regular bread and toast and this and that and sweet bread and bread with cream and this and that and that's just bread. Then you've got your sweet section. It's all these sweets and you've got like your. In brazil we have salgadinhos, which is things like coxinha um pastel, which I think you've eaten some of those with me and they're're all like, look them up, bloody delicious. Or better yet, go to your nearest Brazilian restaurant or anything and literally tell them I want a salgadinho. Like what are your salgadinhos? Because they're fucking scrumptious.
Speaker 1:How do you expect these people to say that Salgadinho Sal Sal Ga Ga Jingle, salga Gingo, salga Gingo, salga Gingo, salga Gingo.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was pretty good. Yeah, that A that actually was pretty good. Salga Gingos, but yeah, like literally scrumptious. Call me Brazilian. It's a moment of silence for that.
Speaker 1:You just told me that I ate that up.
Speaker 2:But, like a lot of people are like oh, do you want to have some afternoon tea? We're going to go down to the bakery because they'll have areas for you to sit and you feel like eat and stuff like that. Um, and so when I'm here and I'm like wandering around and I'm like I want to go to a bakery, I don't mean, I want to go to like baker's delight people yeah, it's kind of like a, like a, not a cafe, but like a cafe yeah, kind of like a bakery with all different sections?
Speaker 2:yeah, and they have a cafe section as well. Yeah, that's just like a bakery. Sounds fun, it is, it's scrumptious, and ice cream stores, ice cream stores in brazil, are like they can't think. Think yochi, think self-serve whatever flavors you want, whatever toppings you want. Um, and you, you weigh it and you pay by the weight.
Speaker 1:We pay by weight here.
Speaker 2:But that's for ice cream.
Speaker 1:Oh, not for ice cream.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm saying that's an ice cream store.
Speaker 1:Oh cool, yeah, you know what? Because my family, half of my family, is from Israel and the like Yoflo, like frozen yogurt stores in Israel. You don't pay by weight, you pay by size. It's amazing. So you can fully fill up like a small. And when I tell you like size, like they like, I think they fill the one that I went to, they fill it for you. But when I say they fill it for you, like it's like the size of your head, the small, the size of your head is the small. It's crazy. Yeah, the size of your head is this small. It's crazy. Yeah, and you can have as much toppings as you want because you're paying by size, it's so good anyway, whereas I'm over here playing like 23 bucks for a yochi oh my god, did you see?
Speaker 2:did you see? Were you there for the like tiktok controversy guys?
Speaker 1:yes, oh, that was crazy. That's gonna be so long ago now when this yeah oh, that's like cringe the thing. Oh, that was cringe oh yeah, the things that, like even in our first episode, like when I said, like you like some things, like that was going on in tiktok, it's gonna be so passe speaking of things that are going on, what are your thoughts on the baron serial killer?
Speaker 1:oh my god, I beg by the time this comes out that he is caught and found, but apparently they know who he is yeah, we were talking about that yesterday.
Speaker 1:Apparently it's some guy that everybody's like known about for a while and he's like really weird and creepy, but no one can really do anything about it because you don't have concrete evidence yeah, terrible, and I I can't remember the number, but like I'm just gonna say this and I think's wrong, so do not quote me on this but I think like 60 women or girls have gone missing, like during like the period of like years. I'm sure they're all like his victims, but but they think it is.
Speaker 1:So how crazy. Imagine we're next. But yeah, it's weird, like, like I haven't even registered the fact that I live in byron and that there's a serial killer like it's. It hasn't actually registered yet crazy, crazy, crazy crazy.
Speaker 2:But to be fair, I feel like everywhere you live, you live at the same I could not come back next year.
Speaker 1:I mean next tomorrow to free. Next week I could not be here.
Speaker 2:And the world would be all the better for it. We'd be grateful and throw a party with fireworks and balloons and dancing on your grave. Well, you wouldn't have a grave because you wouldn't have a body that was dark.
Speaker 1:Sorry, and then this podcast would be just Maria yapping about Disney. So I think you're grateful that I'm here at the moment.
Speaker 2:Let's hope that I stay safe, my god, speaking of crazy. So, like I mentioned, I'm fully convinced that I'm in a coma, um, and what really solidified that for me was okay. So I told you the story of the lamp guy, right? But if you don't know, there was this like story of this guy. He I again correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he was in a car accident and he woke up at the hospital, married, like he met the love of his life, who was like a nurse working there. They got married, they had children, he had a good job, he had a house, he had a good life, you know, he like.
Speaker 2:And then one day he's at his house and he's looking at this lamp and the lamp looks kind of funky. And the next weeks the lamp just looks funkier and funkier and it's really bothering him. It's all he can think about is that stupid lamp. And one day he goes over to the lamp and he's just staring at it and I think he like touches it or something like that, and he wakes up at the hospital from the car accident, from a coma like 20 year long, like long coma. The past 20 years of his life was not real, it was a coma, insane I. I know I think I probably got like little bits of that story wrong, but the do you get the gist. Yeah, that is what I think is happening to me.
Speaker 2:So, um, I was at work the other day and we have a little radio at work and I was just doing like my things, like printing out photos and stuff, and I'm like listening to this radio and then all of a sudden I hear maria blend in with the sound of the radio maria, maria, maria, repeating, and I and I turn to look at this radio and I'm like You're calling to the afterlife and it's like I don't know how to explain it, but the pitch of the Maria was perfectly matching the pitch of the voices on the radio and they were blending in and there was the same volume and they were the same pitch and the radio was kind of like glitchy and the voice was kind of glitchy and they were blending in and I was like shit Because at first I just thought someone on the radio was called Maria, which is why it got my attention, but it just kept repeating and it kept getting louder and I was like fuck, this is my lamp moment.
Speaker 2:And then eventually someone went, maria, and I turned around and it was my co-worker who was just standing there like the ghost of Christmas past because he forgot to like tap me on the shoulder or something no-transcript.
Speaker 2:And, as I said that, someone came up behind me and yanked on my pigtails and then I was like, oh okay, that's my second calling card. That's like how okay, this is.
Speaker 1:This is not like how, but kind of kind of how. Literally two days ago my mom and me went like food shopping and she was like, oh, I'm gonna buy stuff for dinner.
Speaker 1:And I was like okay and I walked ahead of her and I was just like looking around and then I turned her and I was like, hey, um, I reckon we should have like chicken satay sticks for dinner with like peanut sauce. And she just stared at me and she was like that's literally what I'm making you witch. And I was like I think that's really weird, okay scary.
Speaker 2:I don't know if you guys believe in this, but I'm where well yeah, we are we are. I'm also very like we are, we, we, me, I, you, we believers Sorry, I had to like go through them Very big believers in like spirits and afterlives and past lives and all that kind of stuff and also in like being, like communicated things, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1:So, and I have so many trippy, Typical for girls who grew up in Byron. Who grew up in Byron yeah.
Speaker 2:I have very trippy stories of like dreaming we have to grab out our candles, I mean our crystals.
Speaker 1:Just a moment for the crystals.
Speaker 2:Anyways, yes, but I have so many trippy stories of like oh, I think this is like I have a feeling or like I had a dream and it actually happening. Yeah, my mum does as well, you do. Your mum does Crazy, crazy, crazy. Yeah, and I don't know if you guys experience that.
Speaker 1:What cliches that. We're talking about this and we are Byron.
Speaker 2:Bayers.
Speaker 1:Byron babies. That's what happened the other day when I walked into class. I brushed my hair and I have curly hair, so it was curly. And I walked into class and, long story short, my teacher was like it's very Byron Bay. And I was like I have fucking curly hair, but okay, right, right, right. And I was like I have fucking girlie hair, but okay, right, right, right. So yeah. And something happened today in class as well, where he was like that's very Byron Bay of you and I was like okay, okay, well, yeah, it's true.
Speaker 2:I grew up in Byron. So, yes, Sorry, yeah, no, I'm sorry, but yeah, and I find that like trippy, like being like, oh yeah, I had a dream, Like one time I had a dream that my auntie was pregnant. And I woke up the next morning and my mom was like your auntie's pregnant and I'm like how do you know? And she's like. I had a dream and I was like, fuck off, I did too. I did not actually say fuck off to my mother.
Speaker 1:And my went missing. And my mum had a dream why can't you take care of animals?
Speaker 2:No, sorry, genuine question. You've listed that you've had like 30 animals in your lifetime and you do not currently have a single one.
Speaker 1:It's because, okay, hold on, hold on, that's different. But I live on a farm and in the bush, and they are outside animals and if animals are going to run away, they're going to run away. They're running away from you.
Speaker 2:Look at the common denominator you have had. I was going to say factual denominator and it became denominator. But you have had like over 30 different animals, right? Different species, different breeds, different homes, different lives, different personalities, and you do not have a single one left. What is the non-changing factor, right? What is the constant in all of this? Who is the problem? Let's do some inward investigation.
Speaker 1:So it's not me, jesus, I'm done, I quit uh. No, you're right, but like we obviously have bad luck with animals, but that's also not the case, that's bad, that's past bad luck.
Speaker 2:No, that is past bad luck, I fear we had to uh have you had the phrase where it's like you lose one parent, that's bad luck. You look a second one, that's your fault and rehome a lot of animals because I had to move to the cold coast, um.
Speaker 1:What is that sentence? The one that's like you lose one parent it's fault, and rehome a lot of animals because I had to move to the gold coast, um what is that sentence?
Speaker 2:the one that's like you lose one parent, it's bad luck. You lose a second and it's just like I've never heard that, maria.
Speaker 1:Anyways, what was I talking about? Because if, oh, yeah, so my mom, she had a. My dog went missing and my mom had a dream that she saw my dog, uh, on this farm playing with a black dog and a like white dog, and she saw these old, like couple and then we later were like I don't know how we found it. I think either they contacted somebody, contacted us, or maybe my mom just recognized it and we found my dog on that same farm with the same animals black and white dog, yeah, and the. But yeah. Also, something I just realized I didn't say is that my parents didn't just move for me because I got into the performing arts high school, it's because my brother, who's older than me, he's Bloody genius, he's a genius and he also went to sorry for knocking the mic, he went to a really smart school and he's now in uni, at like the best uni in australia, studying advanced computer science, majoring in engineering.
Speaker 2:So we can tell that somebody didn't get the genes someone got all the intelligence and left none for the other, in case you couldn't tell um, but yeah I sorry, I just wanted to add that because I love you, yana, who's my brother hi?
Speaker 1:I stole his bedroom so anyways, um, but yeah, me and maria, I know probably a lot of people don't believe in it, especially because we did grow up. It's true, in byron there is a lot of believers in case you missed it. Um, I'm not like bringing it, but it's the fact that it's such a cliche and how everybody says it, but it's actually true, oh my God.
Speaker 2:Speaking of, do you know the centre where the shopping centre is now the new shopping centre?
Speaker 1:in Byron Bay yeah.
Speaker 2:Do you know how it used to be the Big Woolies and how they used to be in Osushi? Yes, do you know the Crystal Store that used to be next to the sushi? Yeah, I think it's still there, that place. All the shops are closed there, the crystal store as well. That place was my life, my love, my dream when I was really little.
Speaker 2:Okay, I have two stories when I don't know if I can share, but when I was really little, my siblings and I, my sister and my brother we used to go in and our parents my parents would give us like like five bucks each and be like okay, you can each get a crystal, and we would get a little crystal that was like the biggest, like we had the biggest crystal collection. Um, and the owner knew us and everything and he would give us like little discounts because we were there every week and it was like it smelled so nice and the vibe was so slay. Looking back, the guy was kind of creepy and he may have been like laundering money, but it was really, really, really fun and I loved it over there. What no? So much so that one time I went shopping with my, my mom and my stepdad and they, like it was just me, my siblings were at their mom's and they were like, okay, we're gonna go into the shops, like are you coming? And I went, I want to go to the Christmas store. And they went, okay, you have to be back in the car in 10 minutes. So I went, okay, and then you know, like 10 minutes went by and they pulled up the car and they honked right, they honked at me. They were outside the store and I didn't go outside.
Speaker 2:I stayed in the crystal store because I was in my crystal store, Like I didn't blink twice. They were like Maria, get in the car, we're leaving. Maria, we're leaving, okay, roomed away. And I'm in my crystal store. And Leona's like are you right? Like do I? And I went huh, no, I'm fine, they did come back for me. Guys, they drove away.
Speaker 1:You turned and came back alive.
Speaker 2:So they, they drove away, you turned and came back, but then, um, and I just I didn't care because I was so happy with my crystals.
Speaker 1:About crystals, I'm not like a massive crystal person, but I am a believer and also, like this isn't true for everyone but for me I am a believer in that, uh, crystals should the crystals that you own should be like gifted to you and given to you, not like I don't buy any of my own crystals the crystals that I own have been gifted to me.
Speaker 1:I gifted you crystal, yeah. So as a kid I obviously bought my own crystals, but as a whatever you want to call me teenager, forgot the word. I'm still. I'm not like a massive crystal person, but yeah, I. Why is that from that? Why am I not a massive crystal? Why do you think that they?
Speaker 2:should be gifted to you. I okay, no reason, she just doesn't want to spend money. No, no, no, there's a difference.
Speaker 1:Like I went to this shop one time and she was like you can have a free crystal and I took about 25 minutes picking out the crystal because it was it's it's like very personal, um, and it was beautiful, whatever. But I also, like, I believe, like I've also been given a crystal. Somebody being like this is like you, like I can see this crystal being you, like you know the, the general, like byron, um experience, um, or just like telling you like this crystal is like for confidence and this is why I'm gifting it to you, like that kind of thing like I really love that um idea instead of like yeah, no, I like that, that's cute, that's very I mean, I can't relate.
Speaker 2:I love buying crystals, but I, I do love that no, like I I I do love that I do. But yeah, I do love that I deal yeah, and you know another thing.
Speaker 1:This has nothing to do with this, but how I want to say like I try not to think about it because otherwise I'll go into like a spiral in my head. Another thing that I try not to think about is like how the universe exists. If I think about that, I will literally spiral, elaborate just like thinking of, just thinking.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to get her to spiral guys. No, no, no, no, but like.
Speaker 1:I'm not like, what do you mean? Like how was earth created? And then, if let's say it was the big bang theory, how was the big bang created? And how did these tiny little planets just suddenly appear from a big bang? And then, if we're here, like there's a whole galaxy, there's going to be other people out there and then there's more than galaxies. Because, like, why does the actual universe exist? Like, why does the blackness exist? Do you know what I mean? Like why did? Why do I exist right now? Why am I thinking? Like, why does anything? Why, even if it didn't exist, why doesn't it exist? Like why, why we? What? Even? Is this?
Speaker 2:that's what I mean right, I don know, I don't have words for it. And oh my God, you know what trips me out as well the fact that if religion is real, we're all just like incest. If religion is, if like God, adam and Eve, that because you know there's a big thing, bay Theory, and then there's Adam and Eve, Maria right now, I think, people but if it's true, we're technically all the product of incest. But well, no, technically, because adam and eve had children and then those children had children with each other and those children are children with each other and those children should be with each other so we're related.
Speaker 1:You're my sister well, not huzzah.
Speaker 2:Technically, we're all basically a royal family. Technically, we're all basically a royal family period? Tell me someone got the joke because, like royalties, yeah, royalties known for being incestuous, yeah we're basically all a royal family. Yeah, I've insulted like multiple, like dynasties all you do is just insult okay. Well, your existence is insulting, frankly, by accident.
Speaker 1:We're just insulting people by accident. We're not very nice. I think that is what I'm taking from this, we may not be the nicest people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just in general, big blanket. We're very sorry for anything we have said, may do or may say. Will say that is in any way offensive, controversial.
Speaker 1:We genuinely do apologize. It's not like a joke, it's not an intentional decision to offend.
Speaker 2:We don't think before we speak. Yeah, it's more so as a lack of intelligence and autonomy.
Speaker 1:That's something we have to work on and we will work on it. We will work on it and we're sorry, back to insulting, so on that note in that general blanket apology which we truthfully mean, we would just like to say we, we need a quote okay, sorry, go again.
Speaker 2:And on that note, what is your quote of the day?
Speaker 1:my quote is everything happens for a reason, and whether I feel that's been a quote before, oh really. Oh well, I really believe it. I think it was annika's quote last week. Oh well, if yeah, maybe it was, but if I've really been thinking it like, if something like bad happens in your life and it's happened to me so many times something better is coming. Amen, what is yours, maria Save?
Speaker 2:a horse. Ride a cowboy. Save a horse. Ride a cowboy.
Speaker 1:Okay, I think we need a party.
Speaker 2:It's been very much. Yes, it's our episode. It's been very much in my head because I've been in very much country music vibes, but yeah, but it's our last episode. It's our last episode.
Speaker 1:We're going to party. Cue the lights. Woo Woo, ay Ay. It's the end of problematic oh wait, overdramatic and problematic. Oh ay, ay, ay, ay, ay. We eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. We need some confetti, imaginary confetti. We said some pretty controversial things, but we know you'll think of us and we're probably going to get cancelled. We know you'll think of us, but we love you Mwah, we love you guys. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2:And Problematic. We love you. Bye, mwah, bye.
