Twin Tangents Because Therapy Was Booked
Twin Tangents is what happens when two friends refuse to stay on topic — and honestly, we're better for it.
We’re not here to lecture or pretend we’ve got it all figured out. We're here to spiral, vent, question, laugh, overanalyze, and occasionally land on something that actually makes sense. Life’s messy. So are we. And that's exactly why the conversations here hit different.
If you’ve ever been the friend who said "Okay but one more thing before you go" — this podcast is your people.
New episodes every Thursday.
Get comfy. It's about to get real (and probably a little ridiculous).
Twin Tangents Because Therapy Was Booked
So Far, So Chaotic: A Mid-Season-Ish Catch-Up
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is your sign to text your fave unlicensed therapists. (That’s us).
What started as “let’s just talk” somehow turned into six months of spirals, therapy-adjacent breakthroughs, inside jokes, and emotional whiplash. This episode isn’t a finale — it’s a pause. A breath. A vibe check. A moment to look back at the chaos, the growth, the unfiltered conversations, and the accidental healing that happened somewhere between bad takes, weed episodes, conspiracy tangents, and saying things with our whole chest.
In this reflective spiral, Anthony and Nalee revisit the moments that surprised them, the episodes that lived rent-free in their heads, and the lessons they didn’t expect to learn about friendship, boundaries, resilience, and themselves. From laughing at their dumbest moments to getting unexpectedly emotional about mental health, growth, and finding your person, this episode blends humor, honesty, and heart in peak Twin Tangents fashion.
We’re diving into:
🌀 Season Reflections & Unhinged Highlights → the weed episode, conspiracy chaos, Halloween tangents, and moments that caught us completely off guard
🧠 Tangent-to-Therapy Moments → mental health, boundaries, resilience, and how this podcast accidentally became free therapy

Cold Open & Unpredictable Energy
SPEAKER_06Welcome back to Twin Tangents, the podcast that's part talk show, part therapy session, and 100% predictable. Just how we like it.
ANTHONYI think what you meant to say is our show is 100% unpredictable.
SPEAKER_06Well.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
ANTHONYDo you want to say the whole thing again?
SPEAKER_05Oh shit, yeah, sure. Fuck, it was so good.
ANTHONYIt was so good, too.
SPEAKER_06I mean, it would have been fine. I don't know. Whatever. Well, anyways, take two. Welcome back to Twin Tangents, the podcast that's part talk show. See, I can't fucking even say it right anymore. Part therapy session and 100% unpredictable. Just how we like it.
ANTHONYIt's episode 28, and no, this isn't our dramatic season finale. Think of it more like a pause and sip your matcha moment. Just two hot messes reflecting on the hot mess of a year that this ride has been.
Season Reflection Setup
SPEAKER_06We've said too much, laughed too hard, and probably offended at least one relative. Which is fucking true. So let's check in on what this season has taught us. Surprised us and absolutely unhinged us.
ANTHONYAnd don't worry, Hose. We've still got more episodes coming, but today we're looking back, spilling tea, and maybe dropping a little teaser or two.
SPEAKER_06Alright, so our first segment here is about revisiting the most iconic, unhinged, and low-key profound moments of the season so far. Mine to start with, I mean, we've had plenty. Hours and hours and hours of this shit.
NALEEOh my god.
SPEAKER_06Is the deep episode that taught us or caught us off off guard. Like what was yours?
ANTHONYThe deep episode that caught us off guard. I don't think that there's necessarily a single episode, but I feel like in since we started this podcast, like I feel like I've gotten to know you a little bit on a deeper level.
NALEEOkay.
ANTHONYJust because I mean we've talked a lot of things, like, I mean, your grandma freaking tying you to a radiator. Jesus. Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_06Jesus Christ. God Almighty.
ANTHONYYeah. Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Amen.
Deep Moments & The Weed Episode
ANTHONYNo, but there isn't like any one thing. I just think that there's it never ceases to amaze me how as this season has like gone on, it's like every episode I learned something new about you.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYAnd it's it was never anything like surface level.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYI mean there was, but Yeah, I love that. Yeah. Really getting into it was I enjoyed that.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. I think for mine, by far has to be the weed episode. Like, I get it. I think the content wasn't anything super surprising. But I think the the ambiance of when we did the episode was so like you know what I'm talking about? It was so much.
ANTHONYYeah, because like I still will like look back on that. And I don't know if listeners can fully hear or grasp just the level that we were at.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, it was kind of crazy.
ANTHONYBut like looking back at it, I seriously am thinking, like, minus the smoke, especially with my basement being as like vintage as it is.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYMinus the smoke. It was almost like a that 70s show episode.
SPEAKER_06When they're like sitting in a circle. Yeah. Yeah. And the camera's like turning around and they're like, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's such a good way to put it. Yeah, for sure.
ANTHONYThat would have been a fun episode to like record and like put a camera on.
SPEAKER_06In the near future. In the near future. Yeah.
ANTHONYPut a camera on a lazy Susan and do it like that 70s. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_06That'd be fun.
unknownYay!
ANTHONYDuffy, I know. You're just a love bug. It's me. You don't need to apologize.
SPEAKER_06It's me. I'm sorry. It's me. Oh yeah.
ANTHONYSorry, I'm excited for Wicked.
SPEAKER_06No, it's it's good. I will have to say the songs in the second part is much better than the first one, though.
ANTHONYYou think so?
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYI did listen to the girl in the bubble and the humana hamana hamana.
SPEAKER_06That one?
ANTHONYI know I.
SPEAKER_06The one where she's doing the spell.
ANTHONYI haven't seen it. So I just listened to the soundtrack.
SPEAKER_06Oh. The bubble one's alright.
ANTHONYYeah, neither one of them really like set me off.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYBut Okay, I lied.
SPEAKER_06I do like, I do like the first. This is a side tangent. Hello.
ANTHONYHello. Spoiler alert potentially ahead.
SPEAKER_06No, not spoiler alert. I'm not gonna say anything bad, but if you haven't seen Wicked, go fucking see it. What the fuck are you doing? It's so good. But the first part, I will say, I take my word back. I will do say that the first part, the songs are way better than the first one, but there's two really good songs in the second part that I really like.
ANTHONYFor good, obviously.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYThat is one of the most beautiful songs ever. And I was actually thinking about that because Richard's been playing a lot of like Ariana Grande. It's me the the promos and marketing for the second part of the movie. Like it's everywhere you turn.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYSo they're always doing like a talk show, or you know, they're on something or singing or performing or something. So he's been watching a lot of that, but like I was thinking that for good, that's a song that will get me to tear up too. Yeah, it's so good.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, it's so good.
ANTHONYAnd now when I think about it, and don't ask me why, but now when I think about it, I think of you.
NALEEMe?
Wicked, Oz, And Friendship Feels
ANTHONYYeah, I think about our relationship, our friendship. And especially since doing this podcast, it's like Okay, why do you think of me? Because you're one of my good friends.
SPEAKER_05Like So who who are we and it's So am I Alpha Ba or are you Glenda? Who's who?
ANTHONYBecause I knew you. I've been changing.
SPEAKER_05Because I knew you.
ANTHONYI'm not gonna sing. These bitches are getting these episodes for free.
SPEAKER_06Oh, you're right, you're right, you're right.
ANTHONYOnce we start charging, they'll enjoy my entertainment.
SPEAKER_06No, that's such a good song, and it's so easy to get stuck in your head. It is. Like 100%. Yeah. Such a good song.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_06Such a good song.
ANTHONYI really I yeah.
SPEAKER_06No, it's it's good. Go watch Wicked, y'all. Go watch it.
ANTHONYThe first part I loved.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. No, I love the first part. Yeah. I I like the first part. Yeah. Oh my god. Her voice, fucking magic.
ANTHONYDid you watch the sorry sorry hoe immunity? We're tangenting now.
SPEAKER_06So much for reflection.
ANTHONYYeah. Well, we're reflecting, but we're making new memories in the process. Did you watch they did that wicked special on Peacock or something?
SPEAKER_06I didn't watch it, but I heard that it was really, really good.
ANTHONYIf you have Peacock, you should go back and watch it because it was really cute. They did when they performed for good. They brought Edina Menzel and Kristen Chenwith out. And the four of them sang.
SPEAKER_06Oh. I love the little cameo too in the first part. So cute.
ANTHONYAre they in the second part?
SPEAKER_06No. Spoiler alert, yeah. If that's a spoiler for you.
ANTHONYSpoiler. Well, I think it yeah, I think that is a spoiler. Another spoiler alert. We finally got to see the reveal of the actress who put portrays Dorothy.
SPEAKER_06Oh, really? Yeah. I didn't even see that.
ANTHONYGirl by.
SPEAKER_06Why?
ANTHONYIt was horrible.
SPEAKER_06Was it?
ANTHONYI don't think it was very good casting. But in their defense, they did not show her face throughout the entire thing.
SPEAKER_06I will say though that the girl that did the acting was not that good though. Like even if it's just her backside.
NALEEOh, really?
SPEAKER_06Like I feel like if because you know in Dorothy, she had like a presence to her. Like she was very hippity happy and she was you know.
ANTHONYI don't think many people know this, but like her the character of Julie Garland. Well, no, just the character of Dorothy. I think she's supposed to be like 14 years old.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. She's young.
ANTHONYYeah.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYAnd this girl was like, no offense to the skinny people out there. She was just too skinny. She didn't have that. So I'm f I'm thankful that they didn't show her face because she didn't have that Kansas City wholesome look though.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. She looked like She wasn't thick.
ANTHONYShe looked like you took somebody off of Sunset Boulevard in California, threw a brown wig on her.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYBut another thing I learned a lot about The Wizard of Oz, they like put so many, like, I don't know if what the right word is, trademarks or patented patents in place.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
ANTHONYLike specifically so that nobody could replicate the movie. So like with Wicked, they had like the gingham dress that Dorothy wore. Like it was certain sizes and it could not be even remotely resembling.
SPEAKER_06That's crazy.
ANTHONYYeah, like they covered all of their bases.
SPEAKER_06I know that the like the producers and stuff of like the original Dorothy movie, I know they were very like tight-knit about it. I just didn't know that it affected Wicked that much.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Dude, you should hear about like the stories of making like the Wizard of Oz. There's some gnarly shit.
ANTHONYOh yeah.
SPEAKER_06The burns, the scars, the The Tin Man fucking smoke like inhaling aluminum. Yeah. Aluminium. Aluminium. Aluminum.
SPEAKER_02Aluminum. Aluminium. Can you say cinnamon?
SPEAKER_06Cinnamon.
SPEAKER_02Cinnamon. Cinnamon. Cinnamon.
SPEAKER_06A man. The Southward Rise again, man.
SPEAKER_03No, no.
SPEAKER_06Please.
SPEAKER_03No, no.
SPEAKER_06Okay, don't cancel us. I was just I was just copying Joey from Friends, okay? We're not trying to be like not that people.
ANTHONYNot that people.
SPEAKER_06All right. Anyways, let's go back to what we're talking about.
ANTHONYAnyways.
SPEAKER_06Deep episode that caught us off guard. So yeah, mine was the weed episode. I feel like we had a lot of really deep episodes though.
ANTHONYWe did. I feel like there was a point, and I know that you had friends reaching out to you because none of y'all motherfucking hoes in this community are reaching out on socials or messaging us.
SPEAKER_06What's going on?
ANTHONYWhy do we even have socials? I know y'all be sitting on your phone, scrolling through Facebook, scrolling through TikTok. Make sure that Twin Tangents is number one and we're active in your feed.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I know your ass is just sitting on the toilet.
Audience Engagement Rant
ANTHONYScrolling for eyes. What's going on?
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I heard that. Yeah. A lot of people use like hemorrhoid creams for like face cream too. Yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. I'm not gonna lie, I bought it, but I just never tried it.
ANTHONYI just don't have it in me to put something that's meant for your booty hole on my face.
SPEAKER_06Well, I mean, if it makes you look younger, I don't care. As long as it's not wiped from my booty hole to put on my face.
ANTHONYYeah, I suppose.
SPEAKER_06You know.
ANTHONYBut I mean, like, if you're gonna do that, you have to have two tubes. Yeah. If you have hemorrhoids.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. That's a pink eye disaster right there, about to happen.
ANTHONYYep. But what I was saying was, I think there was a turning point. Some of your friends and some of my friends had like reached out to us individually. It was more so your friends who were asking for like longer episodes, more in depth.
SPEAKER_06And I feel like We literally switched it up like real quick. Well, do you think so?
SPEAKER_05I think so, because I think our first episode was like, I don't know, maybe an hour long. Our second episode was like two hours long. Remember?
ANTHONYYeah, I do. Yeah, so it's real quick. It's way too long.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
ANTHONYBut I mean, like hindsight looking back now, I see where people were coming from and like wanting to get to know us.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYBut I feel like that's something that needs to happen naturally over time. We're it it was a new podcast. We're still a new podcast. It hasn't even been a year. But I mean, like, we're figuring things out as we go.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYWe're evolving and we're getting better.
SPEAKER_06I think the thing is we're both like low-key perfectionists and we want to put the best content out there. Well, I don't think you realize it, but you are.
ANTHONYNo, I do realize I'm not a low-key per. I am a high key. Okay, high key perfectionists.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. And I think for us, we want it to be really good at the very beginning.
ANTHONYYeah.
SPEAKER_06And I don't think we realize that. That we're still a baby. We're still a baby. We're still crawling.
ANTHONYOne thing that I've been thinking of lately is like I've been reflecting on like some of our like our episodes when we first started.
NALEEYeah.
Math Tangent And Modern Education
ANTHONYTo where we're at now. And I think I've kind of had this talk with you recently, within the last week or two, that I don't know if our podcast right now is what you were envisioning when you wanted to start a podcast.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYAnd I don't necessarily know that right now the podcast is what I was envisioning either. But with that being said, I do think that our episodes up until now, whether or not, let's just say in a year from now we take a turn and we only start well no, we only start talking about like things in the media or social events or anything like that. I think that the episodes up until now have provided a good foundation for any of our listeners to really truly kind of get to know us, our quirks, things we like, things we don't like. And then anything after that, however our podcast evolves and whatever route we go down, people know our backstory enough to be like, okay, I can understand where they're coming from. And they're not just being assholes. Yeah. Or, you know, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_06Day ones from day ones, yeah, for sure. Yeah.
ANTHONYYeah.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. I think I I totally in agreement with you. I think we've we've definitely grown a lot. And what you just kind of circling back on what you said earlier about like learning about you. Like I've learned so much about you that like I don't even see you as like a friend. I see you as like my my person. Oh like I see you more than just a friend. Like you're literally like my brother, my sister. I'm you're my community.
ANTHONYI'm Meredith and you're my Christina.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYSo I like that.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. So it's crazy. But as far as like my expectations for the podcast, I had none whatsoever. I just wanted to talk, honestly.
ANTHONYThere is no way that you there was nothing that you envisioned like this is something that I want to discuss.
SPEAKER_06No, not really, because I already know that people would listen to us. I mean, come on. Those 18 people that listen to us consistently. Bravo.
ANTHONYI'm glad that you bring that up. Let's be honest here. We said at the bit well, okay, I'm gonna take that back. I said at the beginning of this podcast, like uh you can give a mic to anybody and they can just talk.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYAnd it is what it is. It's up to the people who actually listen and choose to come back every week and listen as to whether or not obviously your podcast is successful. Everybody has an opinion, everybody has something to say. And I mean, that was for me going into it, that was kind of my thing. I'm like, I just want to be able to speak my mind. And like, I I've told this to my therapist that this is essentially the therapy that I'm not paying for.
SPEAKER_06Period.
ANTHONYAnd anybody who is listening to us, pay me. Pay us starting January 1st, 2026, our subscription fee is gonna be five dollars a month.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
What We’d Go Deeper On
SPEAKER_06You serious? No, I'm kidding. Uh but Yeah, this is free content, but yeah, I think whether it's 18, whether it's 1800, whether it's 18 million people who hear our voices, my only expectation, I would say, for this podcast in general was just to relate to other people and for them to laugh.
ANTHONYYou know, because I think that anything that we've uh talked about or will talk about can easily be relatable to most people.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. And like most normal people, because we ain't we're not celebrities. Yeah, maybe not even normal people. But you know, it's just kind of to relate and it's just kind of to help you pass time.
ANTHONYYeah. Well, and if they can like take something away from it.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. And not to be not to feel like you're alone. Like, I think that's majority of the time it's why people listen to podcasts, is to relate, to listen to other people who have the same issues as them and not to feel alone. And, you know, this is more of like, hey, look at them idiots, but haha, I'm doing the same thing too, you know.
ANTHONYI have no problem if anybody wants to listen to us just to be like, that fucking Anthony's so goddamn stupid.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYThat Nolly, that dumbass.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYLike, I don't give a shit. You're still listening.
SPEAKER_06I will say the dumbest thing though that I've ever said on this podcast. God. I mean, I've said plenty of shit that's real fucking stupid, and I know all of you guys judge me, I don't give a fuck. But when I listen back, because like Anthony says like in prior episodes, every time we put out an episode, y'all don't even know how many times we fucking listen to it before we put it out. So uh yeah, that's true. We're doing unedited stuff because we're professionals now. We we're grown, we're crawling now. We're no longer being held, we're crawling now.
SPEAKER_03We're crawling.
SPEAKER_06So I think one of the dumbest things that I've said was I was calling Beyoncé's Beeheim's Beyoncé Azies. I was like, dude, you're so fucking stupid.
SPEAKER_05Every no, every time I listen to it, I'm like, you so stupid. Like you so dumb. Mm-mm.
ANTHONYSo I'm glad that you brought that up because that's kind of what I wanted to talk about.
SPEAKER_05Okay, okay.
ANTHONYWas if there was one thing that you can't stop thinking about.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
ANTHONYI totally forgot about that, but I'm not sure. No, it's so fucking stupid. You've texted because you've like, you've gone back and you've started listening from the beginning a couple times.
SPEAKER_06So I could compare our audio and stuff like that.
ANTHONYYeah.
SPEAKER_06And that was so fucking stupid.
ANTHONYSo it's so funny.
SPEAKER_06That's what I said. Do what I say and don't do what I say, don't do what I do. Like, knowledge check, y'all. Don't sound stupid and be saying Beyonce Yais. Like, what the fuck is that? You know? But it was a good guess.
ANTHONYFor me, the one thing that I can't stop thinking about, and I wish I could go back, but I said it with my chest.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, say it with your chest.
Tangents That Turned Into Therapy
ANTHONYI don't even remember exactly what I was trying to imitate somebody. And I was like, French!
SPEAKER_05Friend treasure. Yeah.
ANTHONYOr however I did it. I couldn't. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Every time I listen to it, I'm just like, what the fuck, Godzilla?
ANTHONYAnd I think back, I'm like, what happened? What happened? Hit puberty as I was trying to voice crack.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYYeah. Anything else from so far? Because we're at like, we're at our sixth. Month mark now.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, that's crazy.
ANTHONYIt seems like longer.
SPEAKER_06That's crazy, yeah. Another thing that like constantly sits like at the end of like at the you know, at the tip of my tongue at the end of my head. I don't know if the fuck that still sits in my head that I always think about is the fact that I told y'all about like the kissing maths.
ANTHONYLike I wanna see how you taste, like.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. I think a lot of people was like, what the fuck?
ANTHONYBut see, and again, that goes I said it with my chest. And that goes back to like what we were discussing. Like, it's just a matter of like, it was a new podcast.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYYeah. We have to like ease into this. I'm sorry that I didn't jump come out on the first episode swinging, being like, I'm exchanging pot for.
SPEAKER_05We're gonna talk about drugs again for some co-cocayana? Kokayana? Oh uh yeah. The Anthony story that made me really, really happy.
ANTHONYThat made you so unhappy.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
ANTHONYBut and here I felt like a fucking prostitute.
SPEAKER_06No, I fucking loved it. I do just want to say one thing though. I know that because obviously we're hitting our six-month mark, and to the 18 listeners out there, I really, I really want you guys to engage a little bit more. Like I want you guys to let us know like your stories or tell us what you want to hear. Because honestly, like I've said before, the only reason why we're still recording is obviously for our need for attention.
ANTHONYOur own amusement.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, but also to tell your stories too. And I'm sure a lot of people would like to hear your stories. You don't we don't have to put your name, like we don't have to be like, oh, this is Sandra from send it in anonymously. Yeah, just send it in anonymously. And I think it's kind of fun to kind of read those kind of things, you know?
ANTHONYI think so too. We had one person who sent us in a letter.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYAnd that was a friend of yours, I believe.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. But I think.
ANTHONYBut yeah, we we want to get more engaged with our listeners. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06So but we understand we're still a baby. We don't have a lot of people listening to us right now.
ANTHONYOr well, we have 18 people listening to us. And we have 18 people who aren't writing in.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, exactly. It's not math in. Make it make sense. Come on.
ANTHONYThat oh my God. Speaking of math, I okay twin tangents. This is what we're here for. Here we go. So I was aimlessly scrolling social media as I was sitting there getting hemorrhoids on the toilet. And I came across a video of they were showing the difference between the multiplication math that I learned versus the new math that they're teaching now.
SPEAKER_06Okay. Oh, it's it's crazy.
ANTHONYWhat a like I knew that it the process was longer. I didn't fully know how it worked because obviously I don't have kids. I have no need no reason to need to know.
SPEAKER_06We got a calculator.
ANTHONYWe got a calculator. It's 2025.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYBut to actually watch how they do it, literally, the meaning of inefficient.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYLike the amount of time to solve one fucking problem in comparison to the way that I learned how to do it. Like, what is wrong with society that we like people are like, let's work harder, not smarter. Y'all, dumb as hell.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, dumb as hell.
ANTHONYI keep thinking about that. Even at work, I'm like, why are we?
Gratitude, Growth, And Resilience
SPEAKER_06Are you talking about like the lettuce multiplication?
ANTHONYThe what?
SPEAKER_06The lettuce. I think it's called lettuce multiplication.
ANTHONYI thought it was called common core.
SPEAKER_06I don't know. But you know how like, I don't know if you've ever done this, but you know how like the multiplication, you do it in a box. Like let's say two double digit numbers, you do a box and then you draw like two lines across to make it into I don't know.
ANTHONYI think that's what they did.
SPEAKER_06Oh.
ANTHONYMaybe. I don't know. Go ahead. Keep it.
SPEAKER_06But what how how I was taught multiplication was let's say if you were to multiply two numbers, you would make it into a box, and then two numbers on the side, two numbers on the top, and then you draw like a diagonal for each each box, and then you multiply each number from like let's say if you're doing 12s times 12, right? So it'll be one, two on the side, and then one two at the top, and then you multiply the two each numbers by each other and then add them up. So the first box will be split, would be one times one, which is one, and then one times two, which is two. And then you do that down the whole like uh amount of numbers or whatever, and then when you add it up at the bottom, it'll give you your answer.
ANTHONYNo. Bye.
SPEAKER_06Okay, never mind. That's so much work. Yeah.
ANTHONYLike, so the way that I did it was so let's just say it was like 291 times seven.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYSo I would do seven times one.
SPEAKER_06Oh, yeah, I did that that way too. Yeah.
ANTHONYSeven times what did I say, two nine?
SPEAKER_06I do what?
ANTHONY63. So I'll put the three and then put the six above the third letter.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYTwo times seven is fourteen, plus the six is twenty.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. And then that's your number. Yeah, we did it that way too.
ANTHONYYeah.
SPEAKER_06I don't know why they teach you multiple ways though. Like I understand.
ANTHONYI don't think they teach you multiple ways. I think they just changed how you do it.
SPEAKER_06Maybe. I mean, I was taught that way in the way I'm talking about, where it's like, I don't know what it's called. I'm pretty sure it's called lettuce math. I could be wrong. I would never. I don't I don't fucking know. I'm making shit up at that as at this point.
ANTHONYBut let's run us with people.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. But yeah, I I don't know. It's the stuff that they teach kids nowadays. I don't know. I don't know what's going on, y'all.
ANTHONYIt is insane. I yeah. I was just watching that and I was like, are you fucking kidding me?
SPEAKER_06Okay. Well, I want to talk about one other thing.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_06In regards to this topic here. What is your fan favorite moment that had the group chat screaming? Even though we don't have one. What is like a favorite topic that here, let's scratch that. What's a favorite topic that we talked about that you could have gone more in depth into that we didn't?
ANTHONYOkay, so I have two.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
ANTHONYSo the first off, and this was in the early stages of our podcast, was like our LGBTQ pride special.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, yeah.
ANTHONYI could have gone on and on about that because there's just such a level of ignorance out there that I think education is key. And I think that that's something that I could have gone on and on about.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
ANTHONYThe second one I think that we could have done better and gone further into details was all of our like Halloween, October, fall episodes.
SPEAKER_06Wait, repeat that again?
ANTHONYWhich part?
SPEAKER_06The Halloween part.
ANTHONYI think like all of our episodes for the month of October, like the fall and Halloween ones, I feel like we could have gone further in depth. That's funny. I was just gonna say that.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. I think the thing again is our listeners need to send us stories so that we could tell. Because obviously, we've told stories that is our personal experience.
ANTHONYBut if there's something you guys want to hear about, like let us know.
SPEAKER_06I really we're definitely gonna talk about this more, and we've said it already, but like the what is it, the conspiracy theories and the urban legends. I really like those. Although, like, I feel like we could have obviously done a little bit more research or whatever, but again, we don't have personal a lot of personal stories. We're still very young people, we don't have a lot of experiences yet. So we need your guys' stories and you know your experiences too.
ANTHONYWe're still young.
SPEAKER_06Shut up.
ANTHONYTell that to the balding spot on my head.
Teasing New Formats And 2026 Plan
SPEAKER_06Hey. I'm just doing what you said. Hello. But yeah, I I really I did really like the y'all already know me. I love anything ghost stories. I love anything scary. So yes, for sure.
ANTHONYI did love our conspiracy theory episode, and I probably could have talked a little bit more about I had tangent time.
SPEAKER_06Anthony thought we were gonna get killed.
ANTHONYI thought I was gonna get killed, 100%.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, but the 18 listeners is fine.
ANTHONYI have a friend of mine that we did a road trip, and I I think it was from it was either Green Bay or Wa to and back. And I'm not even kidding you, like the majority of the time all we talked about was like conspiracy theories, and we both had different varying opinions. Yeah. And it was in that moment and in that car ride that I realized just how much of a conspiracy theorist I am.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYBut I'm a conspiracy theorist when it comes to the things that like the math ain't mathing.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Like, this gotta be a little more.
ANTHONYLike, yeah.
SPEAKER_06It don't make sense.
ANTHONYThere are some conspiracy theories out there that I'm like, you dumb as hell.
SPEAKER_06Like, you dumb as hell.
ANTHONYDo you remember? I feel like we had this conversation during the pandemic.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
ANTHONYAnd they came out with the COVID vaccine, and there were all these people up in arms, and they're like, I'm not gonna get the COVID vaccine because that's just the government, and they're putting a GPS tracker in you.
unknownBro.
SPEAKER_06For all the people that died.
ANTHONYYou dumb as fucking hell. If you think the government needs to implant a chip in you, you see that phone in your hand right now? Exactly.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, we did talk about it.
ANTHONYGovernment 1000% has access to it, whether you're on ATT, T-Mobile, Verizon. They don't need to implant you with the fucking chip, you damn moron.
SPEAKER_06Exactly.
ANTHONYSo, like conspiracy theories like that. I can't.
SPEAKER_06I can't, y'all.
ANTHONYDumb as hell.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYYou can't fix stupid.
SPEAKER_06You can't. Unfortunately.
ANTHONYUnfortunately.
SPEAKER_06Unfortunately.
ANTHONYYeah. So what else? What else did you fan favorite?
SPEAKER_06I really liked the episodes that we talked about you. Like, I feel like I talk uh I talk a lot about me, but just learning more in general about you, like about your grandma, how you grew up. Yeah. I just really enjoyed those ones.
Off-Limits Topics And Dark Curiosities
ANTHONYI agree. Yeah. That with you. And I I feel like we've had the talk before, or after some episodes, it's been like, man, I didn't talk, or I did all the talking. You didn't talk at all.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYBut I feel like we're 50-50.
SPEAKER_06I don't know. I feel like I talk a lot. I mumble a lot.
ANTHONYYou do talk a lot.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYBut I feel like we're 50-50 across episodes. Because, you know, if you do all the talking this week, I might do all the talking next week. Like we we meet in the middle. We have a nice balance in how we do things.
SPEAKER_06All right, listeners, you let us know who who who talks more, obviously. Our listeners don't let us know shit now as it is. Actually, you're right. Never mind. I can't depend on y'all. I can't depend on you. Yes. Never mind. We still love you. We just can't depend on you.
ANTHONYI'm questioning that love.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. I do like, I do like the interview ones too, though. Although we didn't do a lot of it yet. I like the interview ones too.
ANTHONYI do like our interview ones, and I think that they're a chance for the listeners to get to know us.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYBut again, like we keep track of this. So I mean, like, if listeners send in, like, hey, we want to know, you know, where was Nolly raised, or if they want to know something specific, send these in. We will keep these on the side for when we have an episode.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYAnd yeah. We want the listeners to get to know us.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
ANTHONYSo I have enjoyed those episodes, especially when it's like no holds barred. And I think.
SPEAKER_06You guys already know by now we have no filters. Ask us anything.
ANTHONYI have no filter for sure. Like I'm a very opinionated person, clearly.
SPEAKER_06Clearly.
ANTHONYClearly.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Clearly. I have no filters whatsoever. So y'all already know.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_06If I could tell you about some guy fucking eating out my thigh on in the plugging park. Yeah. There's no more secrets. That's it. Did I ever tell the never mind.
ANTHONYI'll have we'll have to revisit that.
SPEAKER_06Oh, we go. You don't do that here. You better tell that story right now.
ANTHONYWell, I'm not gonna tell the story right now, but did I ever tell the story of having an intimate moment in the employee parking lot? I don't think so. Menards.
SPEAKER_06Chow Yenesti. No. We'll circle back on that. We'll take you. We'll circle back on that.
ANTHONYThat's a good story. I'm very proud of that.
SPEAKER_06You're really proud of that?
ANTHONYYeah, because now I feel like I have to get in the story.
SPEAKER_06You have to get into the story. It's fine.
ANTHONYLong story short, in the moment.
SPEAKER_06He got the job done.
ANTHONYIn the moment of things, the job got done.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
ANTHONYBut it was very early in the morning, and like I could see like I didn't work there. I'd never fucking work at Menards. But I could see like coworkers like walking the silhouettes passing my car.
SPEAKER_06Mm-hmm. I hate you.
ANTHONYSome people are like literally walking by as like.
SPEAKER_06How is how did they not call the cops? How did they not call the fucking cops?
ANTHONYHave you seen the people that work at Menards? You think they give two shits?
SPEAKER_06I used to work at Menards.
McDonald’s Grinch Meal Spiral
ANTHONYUsed to because you get smarter.
SPEAKER_06That's true.
ANTHONYYeah. But And this this was the just the DC.
SPEAKER_06Oh yeah. Oh. Oh yeah. Nobody gives a fuck when they work at the DC. You're right. They're like, I gotta go in and catch get my um.
ANTHONYYeah, it was like four in the morning or five in the morning or something like that.
SPEAKER_06Okay, look at you working early. Put in that check.
SPEAKER_05You guys, his his mouth is so fucking big right now.
ANTHONYI'm thinking it.
SPEAKER_06He's reminiscing.
ANTHONYI am now because now there's more to the story. Oh. But you, I you would love.
SPEAKER_06Okay, okay. All right, we'll get back to that. We're gonna table that.
ANTHONYOkay, we'll table that.
SPEAKER_06Yes.
ANTHONYOkay, so clearly we've covered a lot from the funny to the full-on identity crisis.
SPEAKER_06But let's not get to sentimental hoes. Let's talk about what this season has taught us about each other, life, and maybe our questionable boundaries.
ANTHONYSo discussing just some casual wisdom and accidental epiphanies from the season's best combos.
NALEEOkay.
ANTHONYOne thing I wanted to discuss was how our dynamic has evolved this season. And I feel like we've already done that discussing in our first segment here. Yeah. But I just feel like we've evolved a lot as far as again, you know, people coming to you and being like, Anthony's not really talking much. Or we want to know, like, y'all, I practically have welcomed you into my pants at this point.
SPEAKER_06Like, he can send you a dick pic at this point. Yeah. Yeah.
ANTHONYAdd me on Snapchat, follow me on OnlyFans.
SPEAKER_06Yep.
ANTHONYFind me on FeetFinder. Whatever. Quintents.
SPEAKER_05On Twin Tangents OnlyFan. You'll find the both of us there. Any five. It's$10 now.
ANTHONYWe should start an OnlyFans. Yeah. Quintangents OnlyFans. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Where they'd be like, we did not fucking sign up for this shit. We thought this was something else. And it's just us.
ANTHONYNo, then they can sign up and we'll do unhinged rants.
SPEAKER_06That's true. Yeah.
ANTHONYWell, that was it for that. I think that we've we've come so far, and we obviously, for the 18 listeners that are out there, we are planning some things for our next season, which will officially begin the first Thursday of 2026. Yeah. That'll be our considered our season two. But we're still working on just evolving the podcast. As far as our dynamic goes, I think I don't think that our dynamic has changed. But if anything, we've just gotten closer with the things that we've learned.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I would agree.
ANTHONYAbout each other.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. I definitely feel like those deep conversations that we had definitely gave insight to who we really are.
ANTHONYI'm not such a pessimistic bitch.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, you're not.
ANTHONYOr a cynical bitch. I promise.
First-Episode Nostalgia And The Three Fs
SPEAKER_06You're not. You're just a nice you're just a you're just a beautiful butterfly. Beautiful butterfly. We're just two little turtles in a big, big world. Remember that? I do. Yeah. So yeah, but I don't know. I think we've created something pretty beautiful. To the 18 listeners that continues continuously supports us. Oh my god, I can't fucking talk. To the 18 listeners who continuously supports us. Y'all need to like y'all need to buckle up and like do something. You know?
ANTHONYI don't know what that means. Do you wanna if I don't know what that means, I don't think our listeners know what that means.
SPEAKER_06Like, put your big girl, big boy pants on and interact with us.
ANTHONYPut your boss, bitch, pants on.
SPEAKER_06You are you guys are already in Anthony's pants. What more do you need?
ANTHONYYeah, what more do you want from me?
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYIt's not my fault you guys came late to the party, my cherry was gone.
SPEAKER_06Y'all want me to send you one of my implants? Done.
NALEEYour implants?
SPEAKER_06Just one of them? Yes.
NALEEOkay.
SPEAKER_06I have to keep the other one. I don't have any implants. I'd just like to preface that, but when I do, I'll send you one of my implants.
NALEEBut yeah. Yeah, I think.
SPEAKER_06I think our dynamic is good.
NALEEYeah, I think our dynamic's good.
SPEAKER_06I don't think we kind of have like the push-pull. Like when somebody's being real fucking stupid, the other person's even stupider. You know what I mean? What is that?
ANTHONYDuffy just l ripped.
SPEAKER_06Oh. And you opened your mouth and your tongue? Close your mouth.
ANTHONYI'm throwing up right now. Duffy, you nasty as hell. Lord Jesus.
SPEAKER_06Okay. But did you want to add anything else? Other than Duffy's fart in your mouth?
ANTHONYOh my god, that's bad.
NALEEOh, I don't think so. I I mean the this segment is about, you know, lessons, casual wisdom.
ANTHONYSo I think my biggest thing is driving home. And I feel like I've we've had this conversation before, is just driving home that grandma was right. And you do have to set boundaries and you do have to look out for yourself.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, a thousand percent. That's a very good segue into what I wanted to talk about, which is a tangent that turned into therapy. And bitch, that's our whole fucking podcast.
ANTHONYThat's all this is, is therapy. I'm not Yeah, there's a reason that it's called because therapy was booked.
Tough Love, Boundaries, And Being Real
SPEAKER_06Yeah. And I I think we stressed a lot about like mental health. And this is us doing that is not a way of like, oh, like look at me. Like, I'm going to therapy. No, it's not at all. It's just it's a way to encourage you guys that therapy therapy needs to be more encouraged. I think people need to feel more yeah, more comfortable going. Going to therapy because yes, you could pay or you could freely talk to a friend, but at the same time, you know, therapy is a third person who doesn't even know you. So they could tell you things that, you know, let's say Anthony wouldn't tell me, or, you know, and vice versa. But I think oh, I was gonna say, I think like for for in the beginning, for me, I thought that we would talk more about like, you know, the topics that we had brought up, like, you know, Beyonce or like just kind of turning it into things you could listen and relate with. Again, like I've said this in the first segment, but now I feel like we've kind of matured from like the beginning when we started to now, like we're talking about like real life stuff because of all the things that we've been going through, and you know, 2026 has 2025 2025 has been a fucking shit show. And I don't know if you guys have noticed, but from the very beginning, from when we started to now, like I feel like our tone has kind of shifted a little bit. There's still a little bit of comedy, there's still a little bit of laughs, but chaos. And chaos, but you know, we are still It's real. Yeah, it is it is very real because, you know, again, we're not a celebrity. We don't live a luxurious life. We can't like take our kids to the daycare. I mean, none of us, both of us don't even have kids, but I'm just saying that like we know how I feel about kids. Yeah.
ANTHONYWhereas Jimmy Fallon would say, L.
SPEAKER_06L. Yeah, but uh. But you know, like I think our if anything, I think our biggest transition is the feel of our our podcast. Like, I feel like we've grown a lot mentally.
ANTHONYSo And we're still figuring it out.
SPEAKER_06Yes.
ANTHONYAnd so what I wanted to say was going off of what you said, like, you know, you go to therapy, yes, it costs money, but you're getting an unbiased view and a professional view on things. Now, disclaimer, we're clearly not professionals. We're not licensed therapists, but we're self-diagnosed, self-certified Grace Lawn Memorial Physicians.
SPEAKER_06Like we're therapists, we're therapy's with us.
ANTHONYBut no, for real. I mean, that is one thing that I do want from this podcast. And, you know, we keep stressing that we want, we want people to write in. We want to hear from people, like send us your problems, send us your questions, ask our opinions. Like, again, we're not licensed professionals, but send it in to us, we can read it on the pod, send it anonymously. We have no idea who you are, yeah, who it's from. So we're going to be giving unbiased opinions. So if that allows somebody to listen and look at something from a different perspective and basically get free therapy.
SPEAKER_06Exactly. You're welcome.
ANTHONYYou're welcome. Like, and again, I'm not meaning I'm not sure. Up until January 2026, five dollars, but we're not trying to give you like professional actual therapy, but we're trying to give you real life advice. Advice.
SPEAKER_06That we don't take sometimes. But still.
ANTHONYBut again, it's it's one of those things where it's it's a third party. It's easier said than done. Yeah. Or be like I can tell you over and over the again.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. But I won't necessarily dead horses for you a thousand times if you want.
ANTHONYI'm tired of beating dead horses, but yeah.
SPEAKER_06But that's what we're here for. Yeah. So beautiful. Yeah. Again, like I didn't even think this is how our podcast would turn out. I had no expectations other than people trying to relate to it, having fun, laughing, and low-key, I think we we've done our job, you know, and we'll continuously try to do better. Go ahead. I well, I'm just gonna say five breaths over there.
ANTHONYYou're like so many things I want to say.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
ANTHONYI uh I agree with that. And I think I'm gonna call out one of our consistent listeners who is in contact with us. Fef.
Mutual Appreciation And Closing Vibes
SPEAKER_06Yes. Fef. This is a little prod to a prod. A prod. A prod to fresh. I can't fucking talk today. Y'all just I I I can't function. I'm just existing, guys.
ANTHONYOh, today must end in a why.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, so why?
ANTHONYIt's because you're like, I can't talk today. And I'm like, you can't talk every day. That's true. Just kidding. But um shh. But no, Fef is consistent and like he gets he's one of our listeners who does get involved in our conversations, in our episodes, and like he will message us. But I'm just gonna say, like, things that Fef has said to us in the last like three months, never in a million years without this podcast had I would I have ever thought that I would hear him say those things. Yeah. And it's nothing bad. It's just it's one of those things where it's like, did that really just come out of you?
SPEAKER_06Yeah, no, he just said something just the other day. Yeah, just the other day. And I'm gonna share it because we say shit with our chest. And yes, we should have gotten his permission, but we know he's fine with it. So I'm gonna just share it anyway.
ANTHONYTheft, don't sue me. I am not on board with this. I don't know what she's going to say.
SPEAKER_06Nope, he planned this before we even talked. So, but anyways. Let me pull it up here really quick.
ANTHONYYeah, pull it up.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
ANTHONYInsert hold music here.
SPEAKER_06Yes. Okay, so we were talking about Thanksgiving and stuff like that, but he said to me or to us, I think now that I'm back to the grind post-Thanksgiving, I'd rather be a lazy ass bitch than do the work, do the work bitch. Different bitches be thinking doing the work is different things anyways. Hold on. Let me repeat.
ANTHONYI don't think you read that correctly.
SPEAKER_06I don't think I read it wrong. I read it wrong. I meant to say, okay. I think now that I'm back to the grind post-Thanksgiving, I'd rather be a lazy ass bitch than do than a do the work bitch. Different bitches be thinking doing the work is different things anyways. And I wrote, lol, oh my fucking god. I think that's a fit my favorite thing you've ever said. Because for me and Fef, I'm gonna tell you my, I'm gonna give you my one-on-one or my first impression of you. Like, he is such a serious person. He's so serious. And he's very like knowledgeable, and he's like, okay, we're gonna do this and this and this and this. Never in my mind would I have thought that Fef would ever write anything like that. And I was just like, okay, he came in dropping bars. You know, like I was shocked. I was just like, wow, I can't believe he just said that.
ANTHONYYou know why?
SPEAKER_05Why?
ANTHONYBecause he is officially a fucking hoe.

ANTHONYYeah. You'll see that when you listen to him. Yeah. And anybody who's in our area.
SPEAKER_06And also don't hate on him. He's just being comfortable. He's just being a hoe. That's it.
ANTHONYYeah, he's just being a hoe. No hating.

ANTHONYThere's no hate here. He used to be on like one of the news stations here. Yeah. Our local news stations.

ANTHONYAnd I remember like his voice.
SPEAKER_06It's so I told him a radio announcer.
ANTHONYNo, I told him to do voiceovers.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I told him that his voice is so relaxing. He should do sleeping audio. Oh, like doing books.

ANTHONYAny other tangents that turned into therapy for you?
SPEAKER_06For show, the episode by my grandma. Black in a sub.
ANTHONYThat really was therapeutic, I feel.
SPEAKER_06That was a really dark episode, I will have to say.
ANTHONYThat's fucking creepy.
SPEAKER_06I mean R.I.P. grams, but still. That girl did a number on me. I do just want to say though, while we're talking about this, there is something that I wanted to talk about. Oh shit. It's not anything bad. I wrote it to myself so we could talk about it.
ANTHONYOh, you wrote a love note to yourself. I did, yeah. So cute.
SPEAKER_06You are the freaking bombist.
ANTHONYBombist?
SPEAKER_06Bombist.
ANTHONYOh goodness.
SPEAKER_06Okay, maybe I don't have it. I lied. I thought I wrote it to myself, but I guess I don't.
ANTHONYBut do you remember it?
SPEAKER_06I kind of a little bit do. I wanted to just say while we're on the topic of talking about therapy and stuff and you know what the podcast has done. I just wanted you guys to think on or reflect on yourself and just thank yourself for how resilient you've been, how much you've grown, and give yourself credit for still trying. You know, because I I don't know if I've read something, I don't know where it was from, but to me it resonated a lot with me because again, we talked about giving yourself grace a lot throughout the past six months. We've talked about, you know, creating boundaries and stuff like that. But something we didn't talk about, or not that I remember, is thinking yourself for how far you've gone. And, you know, again, giving yourself credit for what you've done and how far you've come. Like people in general, they don't realize how resilient they are once they've made it out of the darkness, you know? And I just wanted to tell you to think yourself and remind yourself about all the hardships that you've come through. And remember that, you know, it's things are only temporary, nothing's permanent. And it sounds stupid, but this too shall pass, y'all. Like, you know, if you're in a dark spot, you know.
ANTHONYI don't think it sounds stupid. It's it's one of those things where it's like it's so cliche to say, yeah, but it's so true.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYAnd you know, I'm again, I'm only gonna speak for myself. I'm not gonna speak for you, but like, oh my goodness, Tucker.
SPEAKER_06I know he's slowly coming down. He's got a little leg. Watch him go go, go, go, go, go, go down the stairs.
ANTHONYStop.
SPEAKER_06American's Funniest Home Videos.
ANTHONYI want to get a video of him and send it into America's Funniest Home Video peeing.
SPEAKER_06You should do that.
ANTHONYI know. I want to. That's why.
SPEAKER_06Tash point oh.
ANTHONYLike, is he even still a thing?
SPEAKER_06Yeah. I love Toshpo.
ANTHONYI forgot where I was going with this. Sorry. We tangent all the time.
SPEAKER_06Because he was so cute coming down the stairs.
ANTHONYHe's so cute when he comes down.
SPEAKER_06We were looking at Tucker slowly come down Anthony's stairs, and he was doing it like one step at a time.
ANTHONYJust a little like four-pound dog coming down some stairs.
SPEAKER_06You were talking we were talking about giving yourself grace and you know, thanking yourself for all the hardships that you've gone through, how resilient people are.
ANTHONYThat's where I was. So I'm not gonna speak for you, but I'll speak for me. I know our listeners, our 18 listeners, have heard me bitch and complain a lot about 2025 and how it can go fuck itself. And I know you all don't know everything that's been going on. Some of you know something, some of you know a little bit more than others. But I I I know that this isn't permanent, this is temporary.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYBut I'll be damned. I can't just put on a smile and be like, oh, it's Monday, it's another day. Sometimes life just beats you down. You just need a day. And if bitching and venting, just let me do it. Like just roll with it. And I expect that for anybody because it does make a difference. And just because I'm doing it, it doesn't mean that I'm fully, wholeheartedly in like a negative mindset. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm just for me personally right now, I'm just not there yet. I'm the thick of the forest right now. And I'm just Q Out of the Woods by Taylor Swift.
SPEAKER_06Bye.
ANTHONYI know how to get you to say bye whenever I want.
SPEAKER_06Bye. Bitch bah. But yeah. I I just wanted to remind you guys that again, thank you for waking up today. Thank you for trying, and thank you for tuning into our podcast every Thursday. And I'm pre-thanking you for sharing our podcast and pre-thanking you for commenting in our pre-thinking. Yeah, in our comment section.
ANTHONYBut Thanks in advance.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. But yeah, I I think overall this year has just been really, really rough. Yeah. And it's it's it's really hard to stay positive when again it's constantly like pulling you down. But and you can't help but feel what's happening right now. Like you can't help but feel what's in the present. But you also have to remember that it will pass.
ANTHONYYou have you have to feel the feels in the moment.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYOtherwise, you're just suppressing things, and it's then you're gonna end up like me when I was in middle school or high school or whatever that was, and blowing the fuck up and storming and Yeah.
SPEAKER_06You're gonna blow up, trust me. It's gonna be like that boiling pot. You're gonna be able to do it. It's a boiling pot. Letting it boil, and all of a soon, all of a soon, all of a sudden it's gonna blow.
ANTHONYAnd so feel the feels. You have every right to feel what you're feeling. Yeah. In a presentation or moment.
SPEAKER_06Be present. I think that's also one big lesson that I learned this year is to just to be present.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_06And don't worry so much about what you can't control. Which is really hard.
ANTHONYBitch. That is like so hard for me.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Same. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Anything else you want to add?
ANTHONYYes, two things that I want to add. So the first thing that I just want to say is that, you know, these past six months, like, even with everything that's been going on, like honestly, like recording the podcast has been like my outlet and my it made a it makes a big difference for me. So I just I just want to make sure that you are aware of that.
SPEAKER_06I love that.
ANTHONYSo even in those times of me stressing, like n not getting an episode out or everything.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYLike this moment right here, like when we're behind the mic recording and it's just me and you like having a conversation.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYLike it's been like a saving grace for me.
SPEAKER_06No, I agree. You guys, we have like six hours of audio recording a day, but Anthony and I talk like four hours outside of that.
NALEEYeah.
SPEAKER_06So, and I'm exaggerating, obviously, but yeah, same thing.
ANTHONYLike, are we though?
SPEAKER_06Because like uh no, not really. But yeah, like to me, no, you've been, and this is like a thank you note to you. Like, you've been such a big role in my life the past like six months.
ANTHONYI feel like we've been very reliant on each other.
SPEAKER_06And I just want to thank you for you know You're welcome and thank you.
ANTHONYThe feeling is very mutual.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, yeah, for sure. I want to thank you for finally after two years cracking and finally doing this podcast with me. You know, I think I think our podcast is very niche, but you know, I really again I wouldn't do it with anybody else.
ANTHONYLike I think Do you get niche though?
SPEAKER_06I kind of do because we're just kind of talking shit. That's the niche part of it.
SPEAKER_03Well, we're talking about yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_06Like we talk a lot about a lot of different topics, yes, but majority of the time it's just our opinions. You know what I mean?
ANTHONYWell, isn't that what any podcast is, though, to be honest?
SPEAKER_06That's true, but still, like and that's okay. There's nothing bad about it. Yeah, I know there's but yeah, I just want to thank you for um being who you are and thank you for all the support that you've given me in and outside of the podcast. It's it's like I said again before, thank you for always challenging me. I think people don't really appreciate being challenged, but to me that's something that I value because if you don't get challenged, you don't grow. And if you don't grow, you're stagnant. And when you're stagnant, there's no growth. You know? Yeah, and you're just you're just exactly where you are, you're just exactly who you are. And you know, sometimes people appreciate being stagnant, but you know, I think growth, whether it's physically, emotionally, or mentally, I think growth is always necessary. Yes. So thank you.
ANTHONYI agree with you. You're welcome.
SPEAKER_06Thank you.
ANTHONYI was getting a little teary eyed.
SPEAKER_06I don't see you wiping your tears, fucking.
ANTHONYI was getting a little misty. I ain't gonna get crazy.
unknownBut no.
ANTHONYI can use a tear or two. The feeling is very mutual because I really do think that you know, our friendship was tight to begin with. Yeah. But I feel like this podcast just solidified it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06For sure.
ANTHONYAnd I'm not trying to be petty, but I'm just gonna throw this out there. Melissa, you had your damn chance to be part of this.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, you did. You little bitch. I'm just kidding. She rejected us. But you know what? A rejection is a redirection. And look at us, baby. Look at us.
ANTHONYThat's right.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I look forward to recording every every week.
ANTHONYYeah. Me too.
SPEAKER_06And it doesn't feel like a chore. It doesn't feel like a drag at all. Like I I look forward to recording. Like every time somebody messages me, I'm like, I'm recording by.
NALEEYeah.
SPEAKER_06You know, so and that's that's awesome. I feel like uh even if it's just you, like, and this is just like like a reminder to everybody that even if it's just one person who's willing to listen, that's okay. You don't have to like do a public announcement or anything. You just need one person to listen to you. One genuine person to listen to you and give you find your person. Yeah, good feedback and stuff like that. So I found mine on this podcast.
ANTHONYSo speaking of that, so I don't know if we've ever mentioned to our listeners before, but we were discussing how we were we thought we should get matching tattoos.
SPEAKER_06Oh yeah.
ANTHONYI just had this episode, we're talking about epiphanies.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
ANTHONYJust had an epiphany. So we should get matching turtles.
SPEAKER_06That is so cute. Because you like turtles.
ANTHONYWell, that, but that episode.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Little tools in a big, big world. Yeah. What was your other thing? We'll we'll circle back on that. What was your other thing you wanted to talk about? I don't remember it now. Sorry, that's my fault.
ANTHONYNo, it's okay, because that's that's how we do it.
SPEAKER_06That's cute. I like that. Yeah.
ANTHONYDo you like TT in there? Twin tangents?
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Titties. Titties. So fucking stupid. Yep. That's twin tangents, y'all. But all right. Well, we've learned, we've laughed, we've dragged ourselves. Now let's talk about what's next.
ANTHONYBecause if you think we're done being unhinged, oh, how the next few episodes are about to give main character chaos.
SPEAKER_06All right. So our third segment and our last segment here is kind of like a little sneak peek, some previews and some teasers. Yeah, just to kind of tease what's coming up in our final episodes of the season without giving too much away. What were you gonna talk about?
ANTHONYWell, I just want to preface with the fact that we're gonna be dropping teasers about what's coming. Nolly and I haven't really discussed what we want to share. So some of this may will probably be a surprise to her as well. But some of the things that we have coming in 2026 in season two of Twin Tangents, we're going to be incorporating some mini weekly segments or sessions. So we're gonna be releasing Nolly's hypothetical hope. Yes, and then introducing that.
SPEAKER_06Yep, it's been a hot minute, y'all.
ANTHONYSo once a week, we're probably gonna have like a 20-minute just short hypothetical.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. If it's not that, we're also gonna be doing twin tangents court. So we're also gonna try to transition that into like a weekly thing. So if it's not Nolly's hypothetical hotline stirring up shit, it's gonna be twin tangents court.
ANTHONYSo and then with that, another thing that we're gonna be doing is you've spent the last five and a half months weekly with us, getting to know us. We are going to be jumping to every other week.
SPEAKER_06Yes.
ANTHONYSo it'll be every other week, we'll have a new episode of Twin Tangents in 2026. And on the opposing week, we'll have Nolly's Hypothetical Hotline and or Twin Tangents Court.
SPEAKER_06Yep. Yeah, we're trying to we're trying to tease you guys a little bit because y'all ain't y'all, we're giving we're too available for you guys. We have to kind of let you guys chase us, you know?
ANTHONYYeah. So you guys want more? Fucking prove it.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, period. No. Okay.
SPEAKER_03But yeah, what about you?
SPEAKER_06Yeah, we're gonna be talking about some. And the thing too is that I'm really excited is because we started in the middle of the year, we didn't get to talk about a lot of topics that we could be we could have talked about in the beginning of the year, like Valentine's Day and like relationship stuff. Yeah, relationship stuff. So I'm really excited for that. And we're gonna be talking about a lot of new stuff and a lot of old stuff, or you know, vice versa. But I'm just very excited to see how a full year of twin tangents is gonna turn out to be. Yeah. We are gonna incorporate breaks in between throughout the year.
ANTHONYWe're gonna take little hiatuses.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYShort but sweet, just for a little mental clarity. For us, life be life and yeah, right?
SPEAKER_06Yeah. And again, like you guys to the 18 listeners out there are 18 sub owners.
ANTHONYBy 2026, it's gonna be 20 listeners.

ANTHONYAnd I just wanna also note that though we're not giving too much away about this last episode, it is going to be our way to set fire to 2025, reign in 2026 with manifestation.
SPEAKER_06Yep, yep. We finna win the lottery.
ANTHONYGood vibes, energy. Yes. It's all uphill from from here on out. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06So before we end this episode, I just have some questions for you.
NALEEOkay.
SPEAKER_03What you got for me, boo?
SPEAKER_06Okay. So what's one topic we have not touched yet that you want us to touch on?
SPEAKER_05He's so quiet.
ANTHONYWell, I'm thinking, because obviously there's one topic that I really want to discuss, but we're not doing that on the pod.
NALEEWhat politics. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
ANTHONYI know that we don't want to do politics on the pod, but yeah.
SPEAKER_06You could leave that in. I think it's fine because I think across the board, we're not trying to side with anything.
ANTHONYI am. I'm trying to side with the right of humanity.
SPEAKER_06Of course that.
ANTHONYHuman decency.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, of course that. But this ain't the podcast we're that right now.
ANTHONYSo this isn't the podcast for that. But Okay. That that's one thing that I would love to discuss.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
ANTHONYAnd even if it were to be in the form of a conversation with opposing sides, so maybe a guest.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYMaybe that's something that might be coming down the pike in 2026 and having guests on our podcast.
SPEAKER_06Uh-huh. Just a little hinty, hint, hint.
ANTHONYJust a little hint, hint. The other thing that I do want to discuss that we haven't had the opportunity to, and we had touched base on this, and I think it somehow got lost.
NALEEOkay. But it was.
ANTHONYI'm going to say it with my chest. Say it with your chest. People who should not have kids. I don't like kids to begin with. I don't need them in my life.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYI don't need them around me. But even more so, I don't need kids around me in families that clearly should have stayed off your brother.
SPEAKER_06I'm done. Y'all should have swallowed them, babies.
ANTHONYYeah. Swallow your brother's dumbass.
SPEAKER_06Oh my god, that's so funny. I was talking to my my sister-in-law about this. And this is a side test. No, no, no, no, no, no.
ANTHONYSleeping with your brother?
SPEAKER_06No, no, no. We were talking about sperm.
unknownOkay.
ANTHONYRandomly talk about sperm.
SPEAKER_06No, no, no, no. I forgot what we're talking about, but I was. Sperm. Yeah, we're talking about sperm, but I forgot what I was telling her, but I think I said it and it kind of took her off guard and she started laughing hysterically. We were talking about like when you're being intimate, and obviously it's about like not having kids and stuff. And I was telling her there's plenty of ways for you not to have kids while you guys are being intimate. You could swallow your child children, or you could flush them down the toilet, or you could just wipe them right off. And she just went off fucking laughing. She's like, I can't believe you just said that. I'm like, yeah, I've swallowed my kids before. And she's just like, I can't believe you're saying that. Like, and I'm just like, yeah, it's okay. Sometimes when I flush a toilet, I go, bye, babies.
ANTHONYI am fucking dead.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. So.
ANTHONYDo you really?
SPEAKER_06Sometimes. Or I would be like, oh look at all my babies.
ANTHONYI can totally see you doing that.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I've done it before.
ANTHONYOkay, so here's a question for you. And for our 18 listeners.
SPEAKER_06Okay. Fuck.
ANTHONYDoes this make you a cannibal?
NALEEThat's cannibalism, isn't it? No. I don't know.
SPEAKER_06Well, they're not technically babies, they're cells. They are they could potentially have the potential to become human, but they ain't. They're they're in liquid form.
ANTHONYOkay, see now we're getting it.
SPEAKER_06No, okay, we're gonna I'm gonna stop while I'm at So you started it.
ANTHONYI know.
SPEAKER_06And I will probably go into it if we really wanted to.
ANTHONYNow we're getting into that whole area of why is my throat like watering?
SPEAKER_06Why is my mouth watering up? That's fucking nasty.
ANTHONYSomebody's hungry for a little some baby baby batter.
SPEAKER_06Well, Richard's Richard. Well, Duffy's right there, so I can walk him right up.
ANTHONYOh my god.
SPEAKER_06I'm getting canceled.
ANTHONYI'm talking I'm over here talking about baby batter. You're over there talking about eating my dog.
SPEAKER_06I'm just kidding. Yeah.
ANTHONYYeah. Okay. Yeah, we won't go in there. What about you?
SPEAKER_06One thing I really wanted to touch on is like your deepest, darkest, darkest thoughts.
NALEEOh girl.
SPEAKER_06Like why people have such dark thoughts and stuff like that? You know?
NALEEMm-hmm.
SPEAKER_06Like, for example, like why do pedophiles think a certain way, or why are serial killers like Noah?
ANTHONYWhy do they think a certain way? You know what I mean? You're not going to be interviewing any serial killers or have a pedophile husband.
SPEAKER_06I would so not a pedophile, but I would so I would so love to interview a serial killer killer. I'm like I'd be so scared, but I'd be like, bro, like tell me more. Like I swallow kids too. I'm a killer too.
ANTHONYStop! Cancelled. Cancelled.
SPEAKER_06Just kidding. Alright. Next question is What do you want us to spiral about before the season ends?
ANTHONYI can wholeheartedly confidently say that I don't feel there's anything that I want to spiral about before this season ends because I feel like we've done enough spiraling.
SPEAKER_06We're doing it in this episode.
ANTHONYWe're doing it in the in this episode. We're gonna do it in every episode.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYBut there's nothing specific because I know that if there is anything that we haven't discussed or spiraled about, we'll get to it at some point.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
ANTHONYWhat about you?
SPEAKER_06I have a specific topic today that I want to spiral on.
ANTHONYLike in this episode, you want to? Yes. Oh, okay. What do we got?
SPEAKER_06The fucking cost of the Grinch meals from McDonald's.
SPEAKER_03Girl.
SPEAKER_06Okay, I I texted Anthony and Melissa like two days ago. I got the Grinch box. And the specialty of it is obviously the sock or the socks. And you get one pair of sock? You only get one.
NALEEOkay.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. And the Grinch salt, right?
NALEEMm-hmm.
SPEAKER_06And I pull up to this McDonald's and they're like, oh, we don't have the salt. And I'm like, okay, I still want that pair of sock, right?
ANTHONYBy the way, how do you not have the salt?
SPEAKER_06Exactly. Exactly my question. That's supposed to be your specialty. Why the fuck are you failing at being a McDonald's? Make it make sense. And then on top of that, because I'm a fat ass, I ordered a McChicken. And these bitches, these bitches, when I pulled out, and again, it's probably my fault because the one time I don't check to make sure there's everything there is the one time my McChicken wasn't in there. I was so fucking pissed. I drove all the way home and I'm like, oh, I'm missing something. And I'm like, my fucking McChicken. And they had the audacity to give me the shaking, the bag to shake the salt, but there was no fucking salt. And I was just so sad.
ANTHONYWhat do you mean, the baggy to shake?
SPEAKER_06Because they they give you a little bag to put the salt in, and then you put the fries in and then you could shake it. Oh. Yeah. And they included that, but they couldn't include the fucking salt. Like it's like adding, you know.
ANTHONYAnd I don't think that you mentioned this.$20 for the$20 goddamn kit. This meal.
SPEAKER_06Well, it's it was$16. And but it's still a lot.
ANTHONYBring back the fucking dollar menu at McDonald's.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, they don't have the dollar menu anymore. But still, I was pissed because I spent like$20. I didn't even get my McChicken. I didn't even get the fucking salt. So I just paid for a regular ass meal for$20.
ANTHONYThat's bullshit.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, which is pretty much double its price. So I'm just like, y'all fucked me. But you know what? I'm a good child. I'm a child of God. I'll forgive you.
SPEAKER_00For God's sake.
SPEAKER_06All right. My last question is is which episode this season has lived rent-free in your head? And I think we've talked about it, but do you have any other ones that you want to talk about?
NALEEWhich episodes live rent-free in my head?
ANTHONYI think what is always gonna hold a special place in my heart, and I wouldn't necessarily describe it as like living rent-free, but just holds a special place, is like our first couple episodes because we were just like so new and it was like all so exciting, and we're figuring things out, and we didn't go into this, and then like reaching over a thousand downloads was like a big deal for the case.
SPEAKER_06It's kind of crazy for us, yeah. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I was gonna say the first episode. Like sometimes I I've told you this, but sometimes I do go back and listen to it.
ANTHONYJust to compare.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, and like the obviously the audio quality, the mics has changed.
ANTHONYYou've gotten a little better.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, just a little. Uh and I was gonna say something, but I totally forgot. The ums has not stopped, clearly. We still have that. And the likes.
ANTHONYI don't think the ums will ever stop.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. There was something I was gonna say, but I completely forgot about it.
ANTHONYMust have been a lie.
SPEAKER_06No.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_06But it was for sure about the first episode. Oh, that's right. I remember us talking about like how scared we were to be on the mic and how much we're gonna judge, like people are gonna judge us, and you know, our voices we couldn't get used to. Like, we hated hearing how we talked. Yeah. And now we're just like, okay, you ready? You plugged in, let's go. You know?
ANTHONYYeah.
SPEAKER_06Like that transition is so crazy. That's growth, baby.
ANTHONYI I was just gonna say, I think that that's one thing that I've learned from this podcast is like, and I granted, I haven't learned it like a hundred percent that I'm still like good to go all all the time, but like, yeah, say it with your chest.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Yeah.
ANTHONYIt's like, why am I holding back to make other people feel comfortable? If you and again, going back to the first episode, if you don't like what the fuck I'm saying, turn the fucking podcast off. Change the channel.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYNobody is in that car with you. Nobody is in that shower with you. Well, maybe, God willing, hopefully. But nobody is sitting next to you with a gun to your head saying, listen to this fucking podcast.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, yeah.
ANTHONYYou don't like it, turn it off.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYI don't give a shit.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYThere. And that's how Anthony sees it.
SPEAKER_06Period. And I will have to say, one of my favorite things that we incorporated in this podcast, podcasts, in this podcast, are the three Fs. If you guys listen to us and you guys don't know what the three F's are, y'all failed us. Or actually we failed you.
ANTHONYNo, they failed us because it's simple. It is a life mantra. What is it against? You ain't feeding me, you ain't financing me, and he ain't fucking me. Move the fuck along.
SPEAKER_06Exactly. Yes. So yeah, I think for sure the three F's, our first episode, and just kind of reminiscing about like us being so scared and like nervous. Oops, that wasn't my computer. But I think one thing too is this is like I'll ask this question after, but yeah, I think we've grown so much.
ANTHONYI I agree with that. And I think one thing about us that I really do love is that we're neither one of us are like trying to sugarcoat anything and feel Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Because we're genuine ass people.
ANTHONYBecause we're genuine ass people, and say it with your chest, that's all I got to say.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Yeah. Why my thing is you're a damn adult. Why do something and not say with your chest? What you gotta be scared for? Cause if if if they you know if people matter to you, they'll stick around. If they don't, bye.
ANTHONYBye.
SPEAKER_06Bye bye.
ANTHONYSee themselves out.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. All right. My last question. Do you have anything else to add before I ask you this last question?
ANTHONYNo. And I'll I mean, I have no idea what any of these questions are, so you're throwing me off here. So yeah.
SPEAKER_06What is the biggest thing that you've taken away from our podcast or that you've learned within the past couple of months about yourself?
ANTHONYI literally just answered that.
SPEAKER_06Did you?
ANTHONYYeah. It's just being able to like say it with my chest because Oh, sorry. No, no, you're fine. I just I apparent I was two steps ahead of you.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
ANTHONYBut like just saying it with your chest. And it is something that I'm trying to embrace more in my actions and and in my day-to-day life. Because I mean, you know me. I'm you remember working at the further with me. Like I'm such a high anxious person that I'm always like, oh shit, should I have not said that? Should I have done that? Yeah. Like I'm always second guessing and I'm always, you know, seeking that revalidation because I'm like, you're very cautious about what you say. I'm very cautious about what I say, but I definitely feel that in specifically in the last three months, four months, I've definitely though I'm still cautious on certain things because I don't want to get canceled.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYBut there are certain things that it's like, I'm just gonna fucking say it. And it's one of those things where you may not like it, but it's an opinion thing.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYAnd there there is a fine, not not not even a fine line. There is a blatant line between disagreeing with somebody over an opinion and disagreeing with somebody over something that's clearly black and white.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYRight?
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYSo I'm finding in myself how to balance that and like, is it something that it truly is a matter of opinion and somebody doesn't like it, fuck them. If I don't like it, fuck me.
SPEAKER_06Like, fuck me. Fuck me.
ANTHONYLike, oh well. But and if it is something that's black and white, yeah, so be it.
NALEESo be it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What about you?
SPEAKER_06I think I would I would agree with you, but I'm not gonna take that point from you. One thing that I taken away from this podcast is and I I said it, it's kind it's pretty much the same thing, but it's just kind of like I'm not scared to share my opinion as much anymore. Because the thing is, again, if those who those who matter don't mind and those who mine don't matter, kind of a thing, you know? So and I think that's what a podcast is for. Like you speak your mind and you're not afraid of what other people think about you. You share your opinions, and that's just what it is, you know?
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_06People could it's okay. Yeah, it's okay to agree to disagree. And I think some people, they're so wired to always be right, or you know, they want to be right, you know what I mean? But they can't yeah, I'm talking about Anthony.
ANTHONYI don't know.
SPEAKER_06I'm over here making faces, I'm like, but but you know, like it's okay to not always be in the right. It's okay to admit that, hey, you know what? Nolly is right, you know? So yeah.
ANTHONYIt is. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
ANTHONYBut again, that falls I'm just gonna say this again. This falls back to like what I was saying. Like there are things that are black and white.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYAnd so it's like sp like I said, speak your truth.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, stand strong in your convictions, say it with your chest, say it with your chest, but like be truthful, yeah.
NALEEBe honest.
ANTHONYThat's all I'm gonna say on that.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Okay, I lied. This is a this is a twofer. Last very last quofer. Very last question for you. What did you learn about your co-host in the past couple of months here that we've been doing this podcast? What's what what's one big thing that you've learned from your co-host?
ANTHONYSomething I learned from my co-host or about my co-host?
NALEECould be either or. Whatever you want. I I feel like this could be taken out of context and it's gonna seem a little asshole-ish.
SPEAKER_06No, no offense taken here. You'll find out if you end up in the alligators in Florida.
ANTHONYSo, two things that I learned about you. Again, that sounds so bad.
SPEAKER_06Say it with your chest.
ANTHONYHow smart you are.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
ANTHONYLike I didn't think that you were dumb. I know You didn't think I was smart?
SPEAKER_05Wow.
ANTHONYNo, it's just how smart you are.
SPEAKER_06Okay. And what do you mean by that? Clearly, I don't show it on the podcast.
ANTHONYJust some of the experiences that we've gone through together in the past six months. And seeing how you approached things and reacted to things. Like, I've just seen so much growth in you.
NALEEThank you.
ANTHONYAnd just even like if the Nollie that I met at the further when I first started, like, I wouldn't see her approaching or reacting or handling situations that you've handled in the last year the way that you've handled them.
NALEEI don't think that you would have been as I don't want to say mature, responsible in your decisions.
SPEAKER_05Okay. Interesting.
ANTHONYSo that's one thing. And then the second thing is just how resilient you are.
NALEEJust thank you.
ANTHONYBlows my mind. And like I've had this conversation with Richard that like sometimes after we've recorded a an episode, we'd be talking, and like this dumb fuck up here's up here don't even listen to the episodes.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYBut we'll like talk about it, and there have been times that I've just been like, I can't believe that came out of Nolly.
SPEAKER_06What?
ANTHONYNo, you're fine.
SPEAKER_06Why did it give you kisses? I know. I'm scared.
ANTHONYIt's okay. Cause you lick because you he just got done licking his own peans, so Oh, that's why I stank. Yeah, you don't want that on your face. Okay. Um but no, just how resilient you are. Thank you. I I like again, I feel like this sounds bad, but take it with a grain of salt. Just I've seen a side of you in the last 12 months that I have never seen. And you're just so strong. Thank you. So smart, and you've grown so much since that from that girl that I met when I started at the further.
SPEAKER_06Thank you.
ANTHONYYou're welcome.
SPEAKER_06I love that.
ANTHONYI love that for you.
unknownYeah.
ANTHONYBecause I'm I'm excited to see where you go from here with you putting 2025 behind you at the end of this year.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYGoing into 2026. New things, yeah, new opportunities are on the horizon for you. And I'm I'm excited to see what happens and where you go from here.
SPEAKER_06Thank you. Yeah, I'm excited too. Thank you. That was very, very beautiful.
ANTHONYSlightly insulting.
SPEAKER_06No, it's not insulting. No, I think a lot. No, not at all.
ANTHONYThat's my my anxious mind overthinking.
SPEAKER_06I get that a lot, actually. It's because I put up a like I and I get it. I put up like a really goofy, like bubbly, ditzy. But I don't think people realize, and this is gonna sound real, like, real cocky of me, how intellectual I am. I don't think people realize that. And how emotionally mature I am. I don't think people realize that either. Just because I'm very like, I joke a lot, like I get it. I'm really bad when things are really serious and I laugh about a lot of shit, because that's probably COVID mechanism. It it is a coping mechanism. But yeah, I will say that, you know, I I know that I am emotionally mature or emotionally intelligent, and I'm pretty intellectual, I would say. I just don't give that off a lot because You don't. Yeah. I try to, I'm very, I'm very tactful of who I show that side to. Because for me, and this is gonna sound very manipulative, but probably is, whatever. But I usually try to test the waters first. You know what I mean? So a hundred percent.
ANTHONYBut I do I never let my guards down to anybody right away.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. So, but yeah, thank you. I I appreciate all that you've said. I too am excited for 2026. Fuck 2025 and the dumpster fire that it's created, but you know, that's okay. Again, rejection is just redirection. So it's okay.
ANTHONYDid you learn that from Jay Shetty?
SPEAKER_06No. Uh Kiki keeps saying that to me, but I also saw it in what is it, Mel Robinson in one of her videos. Oh, Mel Robinson. Yeah, what in one of her videos where she was just like, yeah.
SPEAKER_03I love her.
SPEAKER_06I love her too. She has a lot of good stuff. Like, again, life coaching stuff. If you guys haven't listened to that stuff, I know Cindy doesn't like Jay Shetty, but I love Jay Shetty.
ANTHONYWho's Cindy?
SPEAKER_06Remember the name that we made up for. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cindy doesn't like Jay Shetty, but I love Jay Shetty. I love Will Robbins.
ANTHONYShe doesn't like Jay Shetty.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYJudge this this just went from a judgment-free zone to a judgeful zone.
SPEAKER_06She's already scared that you don't like her.
ANTHONYShut up. Is she really?
SPEAKER_06Yeah, I told her that you love her. I do. Because you and this is this is my this is gonna be my answer. And it'll it'll reflect on what I talked about. One thing I learned about you is that you give off this really like hard shell, like very hard front. I think it's very hard for people to open up to you because, like you said, sometimes you do act like a bitch, and I think genuine people they will see through that. I think people who aren't, and I think we are pretty good readers on people too, but we've had that conversation. Yeah, I think I've come to learn how much of a caring and soft person you are. And that's to me, like that's a really big strength that not a lot of people have. Like, yeah, you it's either it's either black or white. Like it's either you're a fucking asshole to the core or you're super soft and you wear your heart on the sleeve on your sleeve and you let people walk all over you. But you have a very good balance of that.
ANTHONYNo gray areas here.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Stupid. But yeah, I think that's something that I learned a lot from you, and you're very strategic too. Like you're very smart too. But that's obviously like a given. But, you know, the way that you go about things and you you're I'm constantly learning from you. And that's one thing that I love the most of our relationship is that, you know, I'm always learning new things from you.
ANTHONYSo what have you learned from me this week? I'm just kidding, I didn't mean to put you on the spot there.
SPEAKER_06Let's see. What's one thing I learned from you this week?
ANTHONYNo, I truly while you think about that, I'm gonna respond to you. I do I do truly appreciate that. I don't necessarily know that I always feel like I'm teaching you things. Oh, and I'm not trying to. Yeah. I definitely am very strategic and methodical in the things that I do. And I think I am the type of person that with me, like, you get what you get.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYAnd things can be black and white. I think I think in society today, there are there's so many people who everyb again, like opinions, everybody has some a say in something or what they want to do or how things should be done. But there are certain things that are we don't have to gray up everything.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYSome things can be black and white. You're either a good person or you're not a good person.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. There's no in between.
ANTHONYThere's no in between.
SPEAKER_06You're like, so, and again, I think I think it's and a side tangent on that. I think it's not necessarily that you're a good or a bad person, but it's your choices that you do that makes you become a good person or a bad person. Like you could be a good person and then become a bad person, or you could be a bad person and choose to become a good person, you know? But at the end of the day, it's again, like I've said, it's how you react and how you how you respond to certain situations that makes you a good or a bad person. There's no in-between.
ANTHONYYes.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYAs far as that goes, I do just want to say that like I'm still learning and I'm still a work in progress because I don't always react appropriately to certain situations or certain things. And part of my issue is that I care so deeply. I care too much.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYAnd that's a big part of my problem.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYNot everything has to be a gray area. And by creating these gray areas, things just get mucked up and it makes something that can be so simple and straightforward.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYEven more difficult.
SPEAKER_06It's when there's a gray area, it's that's when enabling comes into play.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_06So I I don't even know what we're talking about. But yeah, you are an amazing person. I think thank you.
ANTHONYYou are as well.
SPEAKER_06Thank you. Like I said, this episode is just us feeding each other cake. I don't fucking know. But yeah. But yeah, like I think I don't know. I've learned so much from about you again, like in the past six months that I don't think I would ever learn about anybody else. You know, like I obviously I have close friends. I do have very close friends. And, you know, we talk about like different things, not what we talk about on the podcast. But, you know, I think I think you could it's the thing of like, I I feel like we've built such a genuine connection that sometimes it's hard to find. And you know, like I could have this con we I could have this conversation with other people, but I don't know I could tell if they're telling the truth or not. And it's that thing of like saying it with your chest, you know, there's being honest and stuff like that. And I feel like, you know, I can name a handful of people if I were to talk to. I don't know if they would have been able to give their honest opinion without caring about being judged, you know? Right. And I think that's a big thing when it comes to talking to genuine people is that they're like, oh, I'm gonna get judged, I'm just not gonna say it, or I'm gonna like work around that. You know what I mean?
ANTHONYAnd you have to learn to like get past that because I mean, what are you What are you so scared of? Yeah, what does it really matter at this point? Like everybody has their two cents on every topic, opinion, situation, everything across the board.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
ANTHONYNo two things are gonna be alike. But yeah.
SPEAKER_06I don't know. It's just it's been a fun six months and it has trying to get to know you. This podcast itself honestly has grown into something that I wouldn't I didn't expect it to be. Like I said, I honestly got I thought there was only gonna be two people who would listen to this podcast. Thank you to the 18 that continuously comes back. And you know, the number of downloads that we got, like, yeah, like I said, it's it may not be a big deal to a lot of people, but to us, it means a lot. Like right now, like live, we are sitting at about 1200 downloads. And, you know, again, we're just we're just normal people. So to me, the 1200 downloads is a big number for me. Yeah. Even though it's been six months, regardless, just the fact that anybody listens to us is is rewarding for me.
ANTHONYSo I agree with that. Yeah, wholeheartedly. And I'm excited to see where the next next season goes.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. I'm super excited to. Again, you know, we are here as your free therapists, but unlicensed therapists. Unlicensed therapists. But yeah. Do you have anything else to add before we close this chapter of an episode?
ANTHONYNo, I think we've summed it up pretty well. The past six months have been amazing.
NALEEYeah.
ANTHONYI am so grateful for all of the listeners for the downloads. I am really hopeful that in 2026 we're gonna get more listener interaction.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. And a big thanks to our friend Fef at Bullying with the Fef. He's given us a lot of very good feedback. So yeah. Again, go check him out.
ANTHONYHe's been so helpful because he's a very tech-savvy guy, which I mean, I like to think I'm tech savvy, but then we know nothing. This podcast came along, and I was like, okay.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, we know nothing.
ANTHONYPlug, plug, cross my fingers and hope for the best.
SPEAKER_06All right. Well, that's our little halfway, but not really checkpoint. We've been chaotic, we've been reflective, and we still have a few tricks up our sleeves.
ANTHONYThe season's not over yet, but you already know we had to pause and vibe check ourselves before we end things with a bang.
SPEAKER_06If you made it this far into the season, we love you. If you're new here, buckle up, ho. It's only getting spicier.
ANTHONYCatch you next episode for more hot takes, hot messes, and possibly one emotional breakthrough. But with us, there's never any fucking promises. Nope.
SPEAKER_06Enter at your own risk. All right.
ANTHONYThat's what you should get tattooed. Enter at your own risk. On my booty hole. Get a tramp stamp that says enter your risk.
SPEAKER_06Oh hell no. That's so nasty. Ugh.
ANTHONYI don't know. I found it funny.
SPEAKER_06I'm not trying to have fun. I'm not trying to be funny. I'm trying to have fun and feel good.
ANTHONYMaybe it'll feel good. I don't know, you're like.
SPEAKER_06What if he laughs and it like, yeah, you know?
ANTHONYI'm sorry, what?
SPEAKER_06I said, what if he laughs at the joke and then it goes, Mew.
ANTHONYThat's on him then. That's more embarrassing for him.
SPEAKER_06I guess that's true.
ANTHONYYeah.
SPEAKER_06Anyways. Bye.
