MOLLY’S DREAM GUEST FINALLY HAPPENED!!! lmao
This week on Flopcast, Paige secretly surprises Molly with Charlie Georgio from Love Island; and the reaction is genuinely unhinged. What starts as a fake “Tana surprise guest” setup turns into two hours of chaos, British lore, Glee discourse, sobriety talks, reality TV behind-the-scenes tea, and Molly sharing the entire timeline of every time she’s ever met Charlie in public.
We talk Love Island, Beyond the Villa, moving to LA, British vs American culture, dating sober in LA, reality TV brain rot, astrology psychosis, Glee, Twilight, fast food, theater kid trauma, and somehow end up debating pancakes, Red 40, and whether bars are even fun when you’re not drinking.
Also yes — Molly literally has an album of every selfie she’s ever taken with him.
You guys, shh, actually, I need to be quiet because Molly has no fing idea. She's on her way here right now, and I'm surprising her today with Charlie from Love Island. He's literally here behind the curtain. My heart is racing, bro. My anxiety is through the fucking roof, like trying to orchestrate this and pull all the strings, but I fucking pulled it off. I don't know how because I'm still hungover from Miami. But Molly's about to walk in. I'm acting like Tana's coming on as a surprise guest. It's not. It's Charlie from fucking Love Island. She's going to have a seizure.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_06Now I have to play it cool. Wait, oh my god, Tana just texted me. Wait. Oh my god, wait, yay, Tana's here.

Wait, sorry, I was standing in those curtains and I like heard a reaction when she when you said Tana was coming. And I was like, wait, hold on a second. Let's go back from now right now.
SPEAKER_06Hey! Actually insane. Okay, but this all came to fruition because like when I worked for Tana, she told me she's like, you get one Tana token where I'll DM someone and like pull some strings. And I was like, Tana, we need charity.
SPEAKER_05Oh my god, thank you for coming. No.
SPEAKER_06You're good. You're good. Thanks for having me, man.
SPEAKER_05Oh, you are more than welcome.
SPEAKER_06It's genuinely like make a wish. Like he's doing charity. It's literally make a wish.
SPEAKER_05And they said I didn't even have the blood cancer. Yeah. Charlie, that's a callback. Basically, my doctor was like, maybe you have blood cancer.
SPEAKER_00Really?
SPEAKER_05But I don't.
SPEAKER_01Amazing.
SPEAKER_05But you still made my wish come true.
SPEAKER_01That's incredible.
SPEAKER_06I was like taking precautions. I was like, get him here just to.
SPEAKER_01How long did it take you to when he told you that? How long did it take too much?
SPEAKER_05So all of my doctors are women, so maybe we should check that.
unknownDr.
SPEAKER_01Shit Queen.
SPEAKER_05She was basically like, it could be a bunch of different shit.
SPEAKER_01But but like you're really paranoid in that time in between. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's always horrible when you're waiting. I'm like.
SPEAKER_05Have you ever experienced something like that?
SPEAKER_01Not really, no. Wait, but like.
SPEAKER_05But you still know what it's like.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, just like when you wait in on information that's really severe. Sounds like something you've been through. Yeah, maybe. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Sounds kind of like you're getting war flashbacks.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Just like, sorry, that's a different one. But yeah, I saw that clip. So I saw, I went back and I saw it. Saw that you said I didn't realise it was a thing. I was like, wait, because we were speaking. I didn't realise you had a podcast. We had No one does. No, no, not like that. Not like that. I just meant like I didn't realise that interaction. You saying, wait, my friend was taking these photos. And then I was on live one day and someone said you were mentioned on flopcasts. And I was like, oh yeah. And that. And so I was watching it, and like I was just saying, you said I was really awkward.
SPEAKER_05He called me out.
SPEAKER_01She said I was really awkward, which to be fair, women like that. I was just explaining though, I was like Stone Cold Sober as well. And I don't know if you ever attended these events, Stone Cold Sober. Like they're really. I'm like, I go in there for an hour and have to leave. It's too much.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Well, mind you, I was several sheets to the wind when I met I went up, I'm stumbling. I'm like, can I get a finger with you? I'm going up slurring in your ear. I'm like, my friend has this running bit. He's like, get the face security, get her out.
SPEAKER_01Do you know what I remembered your eyes though? You got pretty eyes. She does. Thank you. You got pretty eyes. Oh my god. Colorado. The blue.
unknownNice.
SPEAKER_06So you're trying to couple up with me, is what you're starting.
SPEAKER_01Hey, look, I'm done with coupling up for the time being, man. I'm like, let me just no more Levi Island uh terminology for a second.
SPEAKER_05Oh, you heard it here first, y'all.
SPEAKER_06We got the exclusive. Oh my god. But no, we were like before you came in here, we were talking about like how we were gonna do this and like set everything up and like go about it. And we were literally talking about our interaction at Vinnie Hackers. And he goes, Yeah, like you said I was awkward.
SPEAKER_01I was like, my man. I was up because I was sitting there thinking, fuck, I really am awkward, aren't I? And then I just sat there in my room with social anxiety for the next 10 hours, like, why are you like that? You're perfect. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_06And then I I actually so know what you mean. You're perfect, I'm just a fucking bitch. Like a bitch who can't keep your mouth closed. I'm not even kidding too. I'm texting Molly like last night because we had this planned for like a few days. Like it was actually like originally we tried to work this out like two weeks ago, and then like things just kept happening. Like, we tried to make it work, and then finally, like today was the day. So I'm texting you last night, and I was like, Did you watch like Love Beyond the Villa?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I'm like, no, can't deal with that bullshit right now.
SPEAKER_06But like it's literally, it's so perfect. Cause I was saying to Charlie, I was like, You've got your flowers, like this this season, this show, like you are the fucking star that people are obsessed with you.
SPEAKER_05You're coming out on top.
SPEAKER_01I appreciate it, I appreciate it. I just try to like, I guess with like reality TV, I think you just gotta like as long as you speak your truth, do you know what I mean? Maybe people see it, but I don't know. It was you never know what's how it's gonna be. Especially with pre-recorded stuff. I feel like pre-recorded stuff is so much more like crazy because like, say if you have an argument with someone, and then like you know, a week goes by and it's a little bit awkward with you and them, and like you know, you're still feeling those feelings, but then another week goes by, another week goes by, and you're over it and you forget about it. But then imagine though, like a month later, you have to you watch that argument over. Not only that, though, it's like projected to the entire nation, it kind of you start reliving those moments. It's like it's I actually think I prefer doing the whole thing where you can't see and you're going day by day. Yeah, as opposed to damn, this happened four months later, let's relive it.
SPEAKER_05I'm gonna ruminate.
SPEAKER_06That's an yeah, yeah. It's just like it's a weird experience, man, but it's oh my god, yeah, watching yourself back, I can't even fucking imagine. Like, I have a hard time even just watching our episodes back. I can't even imagine being on like national TV.
SPEAKER_05Literally.
SPEAKER_06Oh my god, you are a fucking warrior. You are God's strongest soldier.
SPEAKER_05Seriously. And also you have to be in a bathing suit. I'd rather kill myself.
SPEAKER_01In the bathing suit, yeah. No, to be fair.
SPEAKER_06Oh mate, even I would rather kill die. I would just never audition.
SPEAKER_01I mean, yeah, like there is moments where I'm like, I think everyone was like, whenever you have to do like the sexy dancing and stuff, I was thinking, fuck.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Wait, which honestly I need to ask, like, is it so fucking cringy and embarrassing to film like the intros?
SPEAKER_01Well, I didn't uh oh what, like the walk ins and stuff like that. Yeah. Uh no, do you know? No, I think, nah, what it wasn't. Like, obviously, you you're doing your thing. It's just like okay. Moggin. I can't believe I'm brain rot. I'm a brain rot. No, so are we. I can't believe it.
SPEAKER_06Welcome to Flopcast.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_06Um, like when you guys are happy, like the parties in the backyard where it's like 10 people and you have to like make these montages, like jumping up and down and going crazy.
SPEAKER_01Is it just kind of like, alright, like what like when like in like challenges and stuff, yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Challenges are like when you guys would have like uh, I don't know, parties and like gatherings in the backyard at night.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I did a few of them. I did a couple, and I I remember the first like time I had to do it, and I was thinking, and just for a second, I got really nervous. I was like, fuck, if you're supposed to like like be sexy, be cool. And I just thought, dude, you're here, they've chosen you for a reason, just go out and have fun. Like, it is what it is, you don't have to, because that's what it is at the end of the day, like have fun with it, do you know what I mean? You're literally dressed up in fluorescent colours, in like sludge and slime, like yeah, like you just have to own it.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, this is like just fucking, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Also, like on a show like that as well, you people see you at your uh they see your morning hair, they see all that, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_06So what happens if you have to like blow up a bathroom?
SPEAKER_01I mean, like everyone's human, you got to, do you know what I mean? Like it is like if you need to go to the toilet, you need to go to the toilet.
SPEAKER_05I would have to.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you are human, you would, yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_05Personally, I would never.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_06Do you just have to keep like your phone volume, like speaker playing, like blasting music?
SPEAKER_01No phones.
SPEAKER_06I forgot. No phones? Wait, okay, so how long was like yeah. Run the water and just.
SPEAKER_01Hey, I need to message Tanner and say, what the fuck did you get me in for? I'm joking, I'm joking.
SPEAKER_03Bitches who shit. Yeah, general hoop hoop. Bitches who shit.
SPEAKER_06Um wait, so how long was like the entire like how long do you film for? How many months or like how many weeks?
SPEAKER_01I think it's like, you know what? I always try to do the math in my head and I can never get it right because I want to see like time's distorted since then. Because I didn't make it all the way anyway. So I was like voted out after two weeks. So do you know what I mean? So um but it's I think it's a long pro it's a long show. Like it goes on for the duration, so I'm gonna read it.
SPEAKER_05Okay, so question. Do you like that's like you don't know the time? Is there a clock?
SPEAKER_06Uh no, no clock.
SPEAKER_05Wow, that would really throw me.
SPEAKER_06Everything's fucking distorted.
SPEAKER_05Wow.
SPEAKER_06Two weeks would feel like too much. Two weeks must have been crazy.
SPEAKER_01Wait, what? The production side of stuff I can't talk. Like, that's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_06Oh, okay, okay, that's T. That's T. That makes sense, actually. But that's also like why I'd be crashing out over a guy after like two days because it's like shit, time and space is warped.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, but that is that is like low-key like what it is, really, as well. I think it's more like people get comfortable with each other, do you know what I mean? You get comfortable, you're like sleeping with this person and then spending the day with them. Almost like Stockholm Syndrome.
SPEAKER_05You're not interacting with anyone else. You're not that makes that makes sense.
SPEAKER_06So fucking crazy. It's literally a sociological experiment. Yeah. Like one day in university, it's gonna be like Milgram experiment, Stanford experiment.
SPEAKER_05Season eight. What was it? Season seven?
SPEAKER_01Uh yeah.
SPEAKER_05Season seven.
SPEAKER_01Too many buttons and then. No, do another one.
SPEAKER_06Do another one! Like, put on the trap, put on the trunks.
SPEAKER_01Just straight out is something else.
SPEAKER_06Like, all right, Molly Art turn. Sh okay. People start throwing tomatoes at the screen.
SPEAKER_05Audio listeners are like, I don't understand what happened in the first five minutes because it's just me screaming.
SPEAKER_06Oh my god, I'm crying. Well, okay, so I literally binge watched l all of Beyond the Villa in the past 24 hours. Wow. Like, I'm not kidding. I could not put the fucking phone down. Is it? Is Tori really watching her? Or did you no no? My best friend Tori, she's like a huge Love Island fan, and she like loves you down. But she was texting me, she's from Massachusetts, and she's been watching it, and she was like, you have to tap in. Like, it is it's so good, it's so good. And then I finally did last night, and I really was glued to my screen. Sick, man. Like, talk about brain rot.
SPEAKER_01Like you know what? Like, when it first came out and the lineup, everyone was like giving it shit, saying it's gonna suck, da da da da da. But I knew once filming it, I was like, these guys don't realize it was like just pure drama. Like, I was like, they're gonna see it's gonna just be constant like like stuff like that. So I knew it would be I'm I'm surprised by how much like it got a lot of because literally since beyond the villa, the my threads, I use threads now, they use great threads.
SPEAKER_05Actually, I downloaded because uh you know how Instagram will bait you with threads, like it'll show you like Heidi Klum did what? And you're like, wait a second, I should download. So I did that.
SPEAKER_01I'm quite enjoying it, man. Well, it was just like filled with all of that, and then TikTok and everything. I was like, damn, that's sick. And I forgot for a second like you know, when you see your name in like a tw like a thread or on a TikTok, I was like, damn, wait, I forgot what I was like. It was like, yeah, so it's pretty mad, but it was so crazy.
SPEAKER_06Did you ever get used to having cameras on you 24-7? Like, or are you kind of hyper aware that the cameras are always there?
SPEAKER_01I mean, I think you do get used to it, yeah, yeah. You do get used to it because um Yeah, because you just live in it.
SPEAKER_05I feel like I feel like I would start to believe that they weren't even recording. That I would act worse.
SPEAKER_06I think I would just be mewing the whole time, like sucking in constantly, like tongue at the top of the mouth, tongue at the mouth. Like, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Just like always like this. Would you ever do a love island?
SPEAKER_06Absolutely not. Like what if they did like a uh if they did like a clothed one where it was like you don't have clothes?
SPEAKER_05Like um Antarctica.

SPEAKER_06Oh. Okay.

SPEAKER_01No, I hear that.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, that is the that is the case. Do you know your moon and rising?

How many costumes am I supposed to be dressing in soon?

You know what I mean? It's like, that's the same with music though, as well. Like, this is why I could never get a tattoo as well. Because I know that if I'm feeling a type of way one time in this style, and then by a month later I'm like grown out of it. I just feel like I won't, I'm too changing styles. Gemini Moon.
SPEAKER_05See, I kind of don't want a tattoo because it's like, you know how Kim Kardashian's like, why put a bumper sticker on a Bentley? I'm like, why put a bumper sticker on a Prius?

SPEAKER_05You were surrounded. Shark in the water. Like, yes. Yeah, you were signing, you were signing autographs. You were doing it. Like there were girls who were like, oh my God. And I was like, maybe one of those people.
SPEAKER_06Well, I didn't see that. It was just me.
SPEAKER_05But it was just you at the table.
SPEAKER_06Like it wasn't even off the piss. See, I can't be around like I started saying things like crack it on.

SPEAKER_01Big ups for bringing that up. Let's address it, right? Firstly, to the people that actually think I was legitimately being serious, listen to the music I put in the background because that just shows, yeah, it wasn't, it was like satirical, right? But it was inspired by a bit. It happens all the time. But I think there was just this one time where it I was like tired and fed up. Of like I was at some party again, sober, right? And I remember something happened, like there was like some event, something. I turned around to this girl, was like, Oh, is that is he doing that? Or something like that. And she was looking at me, and then I thought she didn't hear me, and then I said it again, like, oh, is he gonna do that? And then she just looked at me and then just started going, Oh, I don't know. And I and I literally I just looked at her and I just walked off. Yeah, and her friend was like, No, no, no, she's she didn't mean and I was like, No, no, it's all right, it's all right, honestly. That was the only ever time, but like I'm not, it's like obviously like I'm not actually pissed off when people it happens all the time, do you know what I mean? And it's it's fun, it's you know what I mean. I like that we can banter about our accents to each other to the States, and that was just my way of taking the piss back. But the comments on that video, I feel like I single-handedly united America. You did. You did. There's only one way to bring Americans together, and that is you guys taking the piss out of Bruce.
SPEAKER_05Literally, it is we don't agree.
SPEAKER_06Anything is so true. But also, I feel like Americans are so literal that it's like that video, so many people thought you were like being serious and actual mad.
SPEAKER_01My manager said as well, like maybe you might need to do because we're very sarcastic as well.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, and like very dry, like very deadpan about it, yeah.
SPEAKER_01And that's what it was. It was just me, like kind of like doing a bit of like being dry. Like, obviously, I like I said, like I can't take it anymore. Like, dude, you know what I mean? I'm like crashing out, doing it to me. It does happen, you know. It does happen, it does happen, like straight off the bat. Like, yeah I mean, you know, but it's fun.

SPEAKER_01I'll be honest with you, same. I was a musical theater kid. Can I be honest with you about something? Can I be honest with you about something?
SPEAKER_06Let's be honest, oh my god!
SPEAKER_01Whilst the other lads were going out to after school football practice, I was waiting for the next episode of Glee every Monday. I'm not gonna say it's true. Glee was fucking crisis.
SPEAKER_05Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry. You are the one who put the mic here.
SPEAKER_06Oh my god, wait, you guys could have a real bonding moment.
SPEAKER_01I don't remember a lot.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_01I don't remember a lot going back, but man, like the job.
SPEAKER_05What character do you relate to the most? I relate to Artie the most. He was the one in the wheelchair.
SPEAKER_01Ah, sick. Um I um do you know who I used to really want to look like? And I used to try and style his hair.
SPEAKER_05Blaine.
SPEAKER_01Um, no, who was the one that had he was Blaine? Is it Blaine? The dude that was in the prep school. Yeah, Blaine. Oh, you pulled him.
SPEAKER_05He was a warbler. He was a warbler.
SPEAKER_01Yes, Blaine, and do you know which fucking video I used to watch all the time? Teenage Dream. You think uh yes, dude. Oh my god, can you pull him up? Yeah, dude, that's a good looking man right there.
SPEAKER_05Oh my god, what's that Blaine? He is like fine. That's Chuck Bass. Oh my god. You see what I'm saying? Shockingly straight in real life. No way. Mm-hmm. No way married to a woman with a child.
SPEAKER_01I was a musical theatre kid, man.
SPEAKER_05That's awesome. What musicals do you like?
SPEAKER_01I remember basically of course you know what's the one? Um, what's the guys that sang Sherry? I used to watch that.
SPEAKER_06Sherry! Yeah, yeah, nice. Sherry, she's like an encyclopedia. Yeah, it's so good. I don't even know.
SPEAKER_01That but in my college, when I did it, I we did uh one called Our House. Our House, it's like a UK one.
SPEAKER_05Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_01Um, like set around this lad in like, you know, East London and stuff like that. But the truth is, I never really wanted to be a music. So I basically I failed all my exams at school. The only exact the only thing I passed was drama, which was acting. So we had a careers advisor come into the school, that's what they'd do. They'd come in and they'd kind of like look at your grades and they'd say, Well, I think you're more suited for this college or something. And basically, she looked at mine and she basically said, There's a course that will take you on, but it wasn't like film and TV drama, it was musical theatre, which isn't really what I wanted to do, but I do feel like it's the best foundations for anyone that is gonna perform. Because especially if you're not used to like having to dance or sing, you're gonna break that barrier and never feel embarrassed again. Yes, so I am grateful that I did it, but um, I'm not like an actual musical theatre nerd. Like, so I don't know, I don't go and see plays and stuff. I I see a play I haven't done in years, but I'm more of a film and TV guy.
SPEAKER_05But I know how different you and I.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, the same clock. Wow, yeah. Look at you, Uniting America again. Literally how funny.
SPEAKER_01But I love that you know what? I haven't had a talk about Glee in like years, man. And you remember them as well.
SPEAKER_06Uh yeah.
SPEAKER_07Do you know what?
SPEAKER_01Do you know when okay? I really fancied when she sang um uh Sing a Little Prayer for You when the chip. I used to watch that over and over again. I'd be in like year eight and like 14 years old. Yeah, you're the moment how we're I know it.
SPEAKER_05Wait, that's awesome. Wait, this is like insane.
SPEAKER_01It's dark now.
SPEAKER_05The glee? The glee universe.
SPEAKER_01I know it's really dark, like this look.
SPEAKER_05Naira Vera, she's a cursed show. Cursed show died. Finn died.
SPEAKER_01And um, just recently, the uh girl.
SPEAKER_05Naira Vera? That was like 2020.

SPEAKER_05I know, isn't that crazy?
SPEAKER_01See, this is what I've got as I've gotten older, the ocean low-key scares me more and more, you know. Like I'm not afraid to swim. But the cut the beaches in California, the waves are very intense. Oh, it's insane. They drag you back in.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, and our water's like murky as fuck and polluted, so it's like you can't see your ankles just in the US. Yeah.

My dad just took a 23andme DNA test, found out that his dad isn't actually his dad. Yeah, yeah. It was just my dad just took like a DNA test, like 23andMe, just found out that his father wasn't actually his father.
SPEAKER_01So he's not your granddad anymore either. No.
SPEAKER_06No, so what well I never met him because he died before I was even born. But um, found out I'm a little Portuguese too. Oh. Yeah. But that's crazy. I know. Apparently the the 23andMes are really uh dividing families.

SPEAKER_01Yeah, so basically, my background, so in England, I did do a few professional roles. Nothing that ever got me to a point where I was full-time and I could live off it. So my ideal thing to do now would be able to transition what I was doing in England into the States. That would be really good. Like, but it it's it's complicated, you know, it's visas, all that sort of. But we're getting there, we're done it. Um, but yeah, that's what I'd like to I would like to do that. That would be really cool. Um, I think there's a few, I just need to get more grounded and set up here first, and then once I'm doing it, then I can go for it.
SPEAKER_06But I would very much like to do you want to like stray away from reality TV or would you ever go like on another show?
SPEAKER_01So, like, here's the thing it's like, you know what I'm starting to like look at in today's day and age. I don't I don't think you should like put yourself in one box and be like, well, I'll never do that again. I think there's there's only certain reality TV shows that I'd probably do.
SPEAKER_05Um Real Housewives.

SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah, there you go. Grab the needles.
SPEAKER_01But I honestly I don't have a favorite flavor. They're actually so strong out here, it numbs my appetite and they make me feel sick. And it numbs your tongue. Okay, that's it.
SPEAKER_06And my body like starts taking screenshots.
SPEAKER_05Because it's five, it's five percent nicotine in America. In England, you can get them for three percent.
SPEAKER_01Is that what it is? I said that to the guy. I said, mate, are they stronger here? And he just said, Whatever. They are. He's like, I don't know what I'm selling.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, it's like rap points.
SPEAKER_01By the way, because I've noticed these things numb my appetite. I miss a good old cigarette, you know. Nothing beats a cigarette, but that's why I stopped drinking because the main thing was I didn't want to smoke, and I knew if I drank I would smoke because there's no better combination than a beer and a cigarette or drinking a cig. That's why I also said to myself, Charlie man, are you ever really never gonna have a cigarette and a wine in like Europe again? Yeah, why would you deny it? Like that's a whole vibe, and I don't want to So you're sober right now. Um, I had a I had a drink maybe like uh a couple weekends ago. I had a couple drinks.
SPEAKER_05But you're having like straight edge more than that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's just you know what it was, girls. What it was after the show, I really like, you know, imagine, you know, I'm this British dude, it's got on this American show, and I'm getting to travel around the States, all these parties. I went really ham, like I went hardcore. And then like I my appetite, my eating thing, had this eating thing. I started losing loads of weight, and I wasn't eating, I was getting really skinny, and like I was just I was smoking again, and I was like, dude, man, and I was looking at pictures of myself when I was on Love Island, and I was so much my body was so much better and that and I was like, I need to lock in again. So I told myself at the end of the year, I was like, all right, tomorrow you go stone cold sober. Wow. Lock in. I've got my weight back up, but then in the recent month, I've had a couple drinks here and there, and I've started smoking again, so I just need to lock back in again, man. But yeah, man, that's a good balance.
SPEAKER_05If you can do moderation, do moderation, but if you can't, you can't.
SPEAKER_01That's the thing, man. I'm not sure if I can. Do you know what I mean? I get obsessive about both lifestyles, you know.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, are you like very black and white? Like you kind of like have to go full either.
SPEAKER_01I'm smoking cigarettes and drinking, or I'm like, or I'm just straight edge, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're right, moderation is the key. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, but it's hard to do it.
SPEAKER_06It's hard, it's hard as fuck. Especially like I really struggle with moderation eating. Yeah, I was gonna say, especially now. Yeah, eating all or nothing.
SPEAKER_01Eating, yeah.
SPEAKER_06Um, especially, yeah, especially like just moving to LA re When did you move out here?
SPEAKER_01Um, so I came for Beyond the Villa, which would have been November. So since November I've been here, but I was sober from uh you know the beginning of the year, and yet it's so hard. Like you go into these events and everyone's also drinking, and like also as a single guy, here's the thing as well like someone's gonna call you awkward on a podcast. Yeah, call my friend who takes seven million pictures with you, and you're like, I'm not the daughter sober, like psycho girls, yeah. Fuck. No, but like, you know, if you want to try and meet someone out and about, but then I realised actually, do you want to meet someone when you're sober and they're drunk and like because that's usually what it is in a bar, like, and I've realized bars just aren't designed for people that aren't drinking. You can try and fool yourself and tell yourself the reality is you go there for an hour and then you're claustrophobic because everyone's there and you haven't got the patience to think about it.
SPEAKER_06But we always talk about like there's no third spaces, and it's like, where are you supposed to meet someone there?
SPEAKER_01Like yoga or beach activities, yeah.
SPEAKER_06It's like fuck, but we don't do yoga.
SPEAKER_01Well, that's alright though, don't wear or you could wear like the baggy Thailand barger pants and that Baja pants, whatever they're called.

SPEAKER_01Fool them.
SPEAKER_05True, true. I could get hippie with it.
SPEAKER_01But like I agree, like it's just you know, if you want to meet people in that thing, you gotta do them with like fuck, I can't speak.
SPEAKER_06Like Yeah, like what am I gonna do? Post up at the library and just kind of like wait for the biggest.
SPEAKER_05And everyone's gonna be like, this bitch at the library sure.
SPEAKER_06But performative.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, literally. No, but no, no, because everyone, nah, cause do your thing, man. Go meet some. If you want to go and take a class in pottery, then take a class in pottery.
SPEAKER_06It's all lesbian. Whoa.

SPEAKER_06I was gonna say it's all the lesbians at pottery. Really? I frequent you know here and there. Writing that down too much.

SPEAKER_06Because like women who like other women? Yeah. No, you can say lesbian.
SPEAKER_05Lesbian is like a term that people identify as.
SPEAKER_06Okay. You can say gay, you can say lesbian, you can say bi, you can say whatever the fuck.
unknownBecause we're on Plopcats.
SPEAKER_06Wait, okay, so after the show ended, you were kind of like bouncing around everywhere. Where's your favorite place in the States? See, I'm saying in the states that you've been to, like, favorite city, things like that.
SPEAKER_01Dude, I just like so the fucking cool thing about America the States is like there's so many different vibes, and like people are always like, so like I just went to Missouri, right? And I took a video of like this street to me, it was like this really American like vibe, and then like people were just like just casually videoing a deprived town in like Missouri. But I'm like, but those parts of America to me are like shit you see in movies and that, yeah. Yeah, do you know what I'm saying? Like, so all those places, but in terms of like I've only been only been to Miami for a week, live it, still when I got like I'm yearning to go back. Yeah, um, New York. Every time I leave that place, I'm sad. And I'm starting to deepen, I'm starting to think about it, and I'm thinking, well, there's a reason, mate, maybe that is you.
SPEAKER_06Do you think it's like the people in like your experiences there, or like the city itself, you just think it's kind of like empty and just leave?
SPEAKER_01One I think one I think one I think it's the easiest city to transition to for a European in the States. Yeah, it's walkable, public transport, and I just love the vibe there. Do you know what I mean? I love it. I walk through the streets and I'm like inspired and romanticizing it. But I still, it's just I don't wanna, I don't know, like, but Utah was beautiful.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, LA has like its own essence to it. Like, I was driving past a sprouts the other day, and there was a man who like just dropped trout in the middle of the street and like took a shit on the side of the road. And it's kind of like, wow, I love this city. Like, there's something about the people.
SPEAKER_05There's something like everyone is here.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's and it's still like a crazy place, but it's a di it's the most different city I've ever been to because it kind of feels like a really spread out bunch of like towns or people. It's isolated, yeah. Yeah, it's not like, oh, this is the center plane. No, yeah. Because downtown LA doesn't feel like the center. Nah, it's totally.
SPEAKER_05I was watching TikTok today, and it was like down LA is um it's like an area. Yeah, it's not a city, it's like it's it's like a the general area. Yeah, you know, he said a better word, but I'm forgetting it. But yeah.
SPEAKER_06And it feels like downtown should be like the center of everything, but downtown's just awful, awful. Yeah, LA is a mystery.
SPEAKER_01But there's so many cool places. I still haven't been to Texas. I really want to go to Austin, Texas.
SPEAKER_05Um have you been to Maine?
SPEAKER_01Where's Maine?
SPEAKER_05Maine's like New England. New England. Uh I've been to Rhode Island. A little bit north, but yeah, similar value.
SPEAKER_01Buffalo and Syracuse, I've been there.
SPEAKER_05The Buffalo's like the coast.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, Buffalo's crazy.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That is.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, how do you feel about like the Northeast?
SPEAKER_01Is that the Northeast?
SPEAKER_06Yeah. So like New York.
SPEAKER_01Uh I like it, man. It's cool. Um, it was really fucking cold though when I went there.
SPEAKER_06The Northeast people are more like your humor, I feel like. They get it. Because I'm deadpan. I'm from Massachusetts.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, dude. I've noticed that the East Coast can kind of get the banter a bit more.
SPEAKER_06100%. And people think I'm a fucking bitch. Because I'm so like dry with it. Like I'll like be saying a joke, but I'm saying it just like this. Like monotone is fucking. In the South, they don't get it. Yeah, no. Especially moving. When I first moved to LA, like I was trying to crack jokes with people, and I was like, oh, you think I'm being serious. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And it's sometimes it's hard flirting here because if it goes over their head, then I have to explain my joke or flirting.
SPEAKER_06It always sucks to explain a joke.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah. It kills the vibe and every time.
SPEAKER_06Then that's when you just have to commit and just do it for yourself. Yeah. At that point, I don't give a fuck if you're keeping up or not. This is for me. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Just enjoy your own for sure. Right? Well, um, I want to go to Atlanta. Have you ever been to Atlanta?
SPEAKER_05Oh, you should go to Atlanta. I've been to Atlanta, yeah.

SPEAKER_00Really?
SPEAKER_06Which was like just me. I was in Miami like last week for my friend's birthday, and I just got back like two days ago, and I was like, never again. I was like, I'm because to me, like Intana always says it, Miami is like Las Vegas with a beach.
SPEAKER_01So it's like I've never been to Vegas.
SPEAKER_06Vegas is.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I think I'm going for power slap though this weekend.
