Hi! Um, so before the episode starts, we just wanted to say thank you to everyone who is a patron.
SPEAKER_02Thank you guys. Subat! We're almost at a thousand subs, which is fine.
SPEAKER_03It's so crazy. Crazy. I like can't believe it.
SPEAKER_02I'm not even joking, because we do this for like the love of the game. Literally. I thought we were gonna have 10 max. Yeah, I was like 50 and I was like, praise God. 100%. And I'm not even saying this to like whatever shameless self-promo, shameless vlog. A lot of the episodes on Patreon, I want to air as main episodes because they're so fing funny.
SPEAKER_03Because we filmed them after we filmed the episodes, and like halfway through our episodes, we usually like really hit like a flow state. Yeah. So Patreon is just like maximum flow state.
SPEAKER_02Just fucking eating on the Patreon. But yeah, if you're ever sitting there thinking, like, oh my god, like I love these two so much, like I can't get enough of them. Wish there was more. There is more, and you can get it on our Patreon.
SPEAKER_03My fingers, like my heart fingers, are like orange because I ate a Cheeto.
SPEAKER_02Well, love you guys. Come say hi. Enjoy the episode.
SPEAKER_03Yay, love you.
SPEAKER_02Do you feel like there's been like a shift in the ether? Yeah. Like the energy feels off the past few days. Yeah. Do you are you with me? Um, yeah. Okay, okay, okay. Just like walk with me here because I'm not joking. Like, I've had the worst anxiety for the past, sorry, there's fucking cat hair flying. It's like all over me. Um, I've had the worst anxiety for the past like four days, and I'm like, what is happening? Not joking, like someone has an evil eye out on me. I'm convinced. I'm about to like crack an egg in the water. See if it floats, gets the spikes. Dude, I yesterday I woke up, I was like, that's it. That's it. Full fucking factory reset. I cleaned my entire apartment. Like I was vacuuming the ceiling, picking up dust with tweezers. I did like a full spring cleaning off of an Adderall. Like that's all I did all day. And I was like, let me see if this changes the mood. At the end of the day, I'm gonna sage my place, do a cleanse, whatever. Hopefully, it will like change up my mood. I woke up this morning pissed off as fuck. Pissed off as fuck. Just mad. Just mad. Just mad at the world. And also just like, I feel like I just keep taking hit after hit after hit. I have like an online one-sided TikTok beef happening right now. I don't even know if I want to get into it.
SPEAKER_03Ugh, and I know it because obviously you called me about it, but like I want to get into it just to defend my queen.
SPEAKER_02Can we get actually let's get into it for like one second? Yeah. Basically, I posted this TikTok like three or four days ago when everyone was doing the AI baseball trend. First of all, stupid. Stupid. Looking like a bunch of clowns. And I posted the six-second video, just very flippant, but also like giving people a smack on the wrist. As it's like, why the fuck are you using generative AI? A dolphin's dead. A fish just lost his house. A fish just got evicted and lost his family because you decided to post this fuck-ass AI baseball trend video. Literally. You look like clowns. So I post this TikTok basically saying just that. And whatever, I put my phone down. A day later, this creator gets on TikTok and they post this college-level speech. Like this college-level lecture. Essentially like TLDR version, being like, a lot of you people only are talking about like the water use and how it impacts the environment, but like you don't even know what you're standing for. Like it's very performative and disingenuous to be talking about like the use of AI when you don't know what you're talking about.
SPEAKER_03To be anti-AI because you only know a few things that are bad with it. That's crazy.
SPEAKER_02No, no, no, no. But I'm clenching my fist, and I started, I got filled with rage. Because also, like, I'm a big fan of this creator. Like, I've been following them for a while. Like, love them down. And like at first, I was like, oh, is this play about us? Yeah. And then I was like, oh my fucking god, it is, because they directly quoted me saying, like, a fish just lost his house. So I was like, oh, this is about me. I set up my camera and I was like ready. I was going in, going in. And then I was like, you know what? Again, let me clean my house, let me sage, let me cleanse, let me be grown about this. Doesn't warrant a response. But here I am on my platform, about to go in. Well, thank you. To me, it's it's so not valid to come to the conclusion that I don't know what I'm talking about because I highlight one point of AI use. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Just to touch on the water aspect, again, in a six-second TikTok, I didn't sit down, I didn't give a fucking dissertation.
SPEAKER_03Sorry, I didn't want to make money off it, make over a minute. Sorry.
SPEAKER_02Sorry I didn't want to give a speech.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, sorry I'm actually like better than you because I didn't want to make money off of it. Right.
SPEAKER_02So I was just like, it to me, it's just kind of like, I don't know, maybe like a little condescending too, to just like call it performative and disingenuous because I decided to like talk about this one facet of how AI use is bad, and I only touched on the water and environmental aspect. Trust me, I know. I know the implications of AI use.
SPEAKER_03Like, oh, what if I don't like bean soup?
SPEAKER_02Then it's not for you! Then it's not for you! And it's like I know that deep fakes are being made, misinformation's being spread, people are losing their fucking jobs because of AI, creativity is going down the drain. I am so aware of all of like the implications of AI use, I just said it flippantly, and I got reamed out by this creator. And I was like, you know what? Only in our good year of 2026 could I make a TikTok being anti-AI, and someone's gonna have a problem and get mad because I wasn't doing it in the right way. Ear quote, in the right way.
SPEAKER_03In the right way. You know, and it was just No, it's literally the left caving in on itself. It's like, y'all, this is why we don't have the presidency, this is why we don't have the Senate. Y'all are pissing me off. And it was like we're on the same side.
SPEAKER_02We're on the same side. I'm like, girl, I agree with you. And one of her points was like, we're complicit in the use of AI like every day, yada, yada, yada. I know, and I know that. Like, we all use AI whether or not we want to. However, my point was that we are using people are paying $9.99, $9.99 to create generated AI videos of them courtside at a game. That is different than me using my iPhone. That's different than me Googling something when Gemini comes up. I didn't choose that. I didn't choose that. Yes, I'm complicit in it because I don't have a fucking choice. And I understand the whole movement of like, well, there needs to be policy change and like we need to be pushing for that. I agree with you. In the meantime, what I'm not gonna do is pay $9.99 for some stupid fucking app to generate me courtside. That's all I was saying. Well, actually, and I I took all that and I condensed it down to six seconds. Miley, what's good? Keep going. Because again, I was like, I set up my phone yesterday and I was gonna go in, and then I was like, you know what? Like, I don't, I don't wanna go toe-to-toe right now. Even though maybe I am, and like maybe that's what the sage did. Maybe me saging myself and cleansing my aura, my aura was fighting back. This is me purging.
SPEAKER_03This is you purging.
SPEAKER_02My soul was like, no, uh-uh, girl, we're not getting a dog. Like, uh-uh, girl, we're going toe-to-toe.
SPEAKER_03Also, something about the baseball trend, it'd be corny even if it wasn't AI. I'd be pissed off even if it wasn't AI. Oh, you posted a candid video of you at a baseball game. And pissed me off.
SPEAKER_02And mind you, too, in my video, I was like, it's funny because people are posting it, and it's like, what are you posting this for? That's not even you. It's literally fake.
SPEAKER_03It's it's literally not you. It's literally not you. First of all, I'm not gonna look at that and be like, wow, you're so gorgeous.
SPEAKER_02Like wow, computer. You look unreal.
SPEAKER_03Like, you look unreal. You look unreal. It's so I don't fucking. Billy Eilish somewhere, like you killed a fish.
SPEAKER_02Yeah! Pita getter! Yeah, literally, like hello. And then in in the same in the creator's video, she starts basically calling me a bitch, being like, you're just using this like as a way to be me, like a mean girl, saying people are dumb bitches, yada yada. Porkinola's dose. So uh kind of goes hand in hand. Why can't we be both? To me, goes a little hand in hand. Um, but I don't know. And then it's like, you're calling me performative. You just set up your fucking camera for five minutes and just talk to the camera talking about me being performative.
SPEAKER_03And also, like, what? It's all because what? That baseball video is in your drafts.
SPEAKER_02It just say you want to post the fucking baseball video. But it it just got me thinking, and I did write this down for us to like talk about, just like the online policing and the morality Olympics that we are going through right now. Yeah, bro, I'm scared to fucking say anything.
SPEAKER_03No, mind you, I'm again, I think I'm the wokest person ever. Ever. You're the youngest person ever. Yeah. Like I'm the woker. Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_00You, bro. What's the woker?
SPEAKER_03Okay, so that was that's actually a callback Amish from like a few episodes ago.
SPEAKER_02I don't have a medical.
SPEAKER_03People paid attention.
SPEAKER_02Fake fan.
SPEAKER_03And we were gonna have a dating show for you.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, right, right. And we had something in the works. I love you.
SPEAKER_03Whatever.
SPEAKER_02The girls love you.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, the girls, whatever. But all that to say, I feel like I have a very good head on my shoulders when it comes to knowing what's right and wrong, and maybe I'm wrong. I'm wrong a lot of the times. I'm wrong a lot of the time. And then guess what? I'll be like, okay, my bad. Yeah. I'm sorry. Mm-hmm. Tail between my legs, my bad. My bad. All own up to it. Mm-hmm. But like. I know, and in this case, I was like no one wants to solve anything. You just want to have a problem.
SPEAKER_02And that's really what it boils down to. People online now, it's like they just want to fight just to fight. Hear themselves talk. People are bored, they they're mad at the world, and they just want to take it out on people online.
SPEAKER_03It's like, okay, it's because it's so much easier. Like, listen, I can't really do anything about Donald Trump. Right. I wish I fucking could. Are you kidding me? But what I can do is I can go to an influencer who I semi-disagree with and be like, you're a fucking bitch, kill yourself. And they and they'll see it. Donald Trump isn't gonna see it when I say it. Donald Trump, kill yourself. Kill yourself challenge, blue whale challenge, look it up.
SPEAKER_02Right. But what we can do is play the morality Olympics with other influencers. With people that we can do. I just think now also it's so easy because everyone has a platform and like TikTok is so quick, so easy to like blow up. You can post anything and it'll get traction. It has like amplified like dog piling times a hundred now. Because like back in the day when really our only really our only social media was like YouTube.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02People would like get canceled, but you didn't really hear about like it wasn't political stuff. It wasn't political stuff. It was you ate a sugar bear hair at Coachella. Yeah, it was by Sishair. But also it's like back in the day, people didn't have the the ability to like post a quick video and then like reach the masses. You would have to like either tweet about it or make a YouTube account and post a video, which probably wouldn't get views because it's that that algorithm doesn't work like that. No. But now TikTok, it's like you have the ability, you have the ability to like reach the masses. Yeah. Everyone does, and I think it just like it amplifies and just adds to like the dogpiling mentality.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and like with great power comes great responsibility. That's why I talk about my bush on main.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, right. And now people are doing crack on main.
unknownExactly.
SPEAKER_03Like, okay, y'all need to know what to post. Like, I'm gonna sit there and I'm gonna give James Charles his lashings. I'm not going to criticize someone I agree with.
SPEAKER_02I think the argument of like you don't even know what you're fighting against. First of all, I do, but even if I didn't, that's just a bad point to make overall. Just a bad point. Even if you were to argue, like, you're anti-AI and you don't know why. Thank God you're not. Yeah, exactly. Kind of like the end goal, anyway. Yeah, it like liter literally. I don't know. It's just so funny. And I think like it, I I just see the effects. It's like, I just see the way people like move online now, and I think people are starting to like dilute themselves and their personality so much because people are so afraid to fucking say anything. Yeah. Because if you don't say it perfectly, and if you don't touch on every single facet of an issue, you're gonna get a TikTok made about you because you only talked about the water implication. Like that felt good. I'm glad. You know what? That felt fucking better. I really did. I really did.
SPEAKER_03And on that note, welcome back to Plopcast.
SPEAKER_02Working fucking title. Yeah. And you know what? James. James.
SPEAKER_03Because now because why is he actually like the why is he the problem?
SPEAKER_02And somehow block Gracie Abrams, block James Charles. Like everyone actually blocked James Charles.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, like it all ends up on James Charles' shoulders.
SPEAKER_02It all comes back to Jamie Char Char.
SPEAKER_03Because also, why'd he say that thing about the spirit employee?
SPEAKER_02Okay, so last episode, this kind of this whole James Charles Spirit Airlines discourse like happened when we filmed the last episodes, but we had Charlie on.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So we ended up talking about it on the Patreon. But for those of you who missed it, I mean, I'm not gonna add anything new to the conversation.
SPEAKER_03I kind of want to.
SPEAKER_02But go! I mean, I can I can reiterate everything we said.
SPEAKER_03My friends were talking about it's like the fact that this is the thing getting him canceled, first of all, funny. Yeah. Second of all, very communist of us to be like, it's we don't even draw the line at the pedophilia, we draw the line at criticizing the Spirit Airlines employee. Correct. Third of all, I remember what I was gonna say, Amish, that guy's a grifter. Apparently, apparently the Spirit Airline guy who's like, I'm gonna buy Spirit Air Airline.
SPEAKER_00No, I know, dude. That's right. He's a grifter. Hold on, ready? That's why I texted you like the day or two after. That's what I was saying. No, so you all the money you pledge, it's just saying, oh, I could pledge this amount of money. It's not actually any money fucking raised. So I got tricked, so I apologize.
SPEAKER_03Should I say I could donate $2 billion?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you could be like, oh, exactly. So like all that money's theoretical and not like obligated at all.
SPEAKER_02Imagine us like applying for a loan. Like, yeah, I could pledge $500,000. You just have to give me some time. Yeah, just wait till this thing takes off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's fucked though. He probably actually got money somehow out of it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, probably.
SPEAKER_00I don't I don't know, because I think he's like a comedian too.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, James Charles. I mean, y'all know how I feel about him. Like, it's no secret. He's never coming on the podcast. We have fucking beef. We've had beef. I have always thought he was fucking awful and out of touch. Again, I really don't have anything new to contribute to the conversation. Oh. Except for what's already been said, which I agree with.
SPEAKER_03Exactly. And the girl who like sent that message, she came out. Mind in his video, he was like, this white girl, first of all, not white. Right. So it's like, James, what actually what's your problem? Like, you can't even fact check yourself. Okay. Um, the fact that she was like, Yeah, like I literally have to pay for all these things, like my bad. James Charles, you are so nutty and crazy. I think, like, genuinely a parasite crawled into his brain and like started ratatouilling his like neurons to like literally to like make him say that. Cause actually, why would you say that?
SPEAKER_02Literally, what? Like, and to sit there after, watch the video and say, yeah, make a caption and post. Post. Like you said, like there's kind of a lot that goes into like making and posting a TikTok.
SPEAKER_03But you know he's gotta record that probably three times. Yeah. You know? Oh yeah. I'm sure he said something. It wasn't off the cuff. Exactly. Because I'm sure he like made it two different recordings prior to, where in which he said worse stuff, and then was like, no, this is the better one.
SPEAKER_02Post. And you know what I think it is, and I said this again on the Patreon, so sorry to anyone who's already heard it, but God, he's like a fucking cockroach. It's like he gets canceled, he falls off. He comes back somehow, I don't know, fucking going on painted live selling killing. Lord knows he's on painted live! Lord knows!
SPEAKER_03TikTok could be dead. The internet could be dead. They could blow up the internet. Like, and I mean like dust, the wires are dust. And who would be on TikTok live somehow since James Charles and Jason Nash would be like? He's gonna have his employees legit on bikes powering. Literally like shoveling coal into the fur. James Charles and Jason Nash asking for galaxies and to go to the Lincoln bio.
SPEAKER_02And using his fucking oversized beauty blender. Literally, doom, doom, boom, like just hitting his head. And I know that thing can't go through TSA. Like that is a weapon. Yes. That is a fucking weapon. But it's like, I think for a minute, because he's had this like fall off, rebound, fall off, rebound. He's so used to like that cycle. I think I think for a minute, people were starting to like come back around to him and also find it funny when he'd post his videos ranting and being like, Yeah, I don't know, just screaming about anything. Yeah, why the fuck is the fucking? Yeah. Everyone thought it was kind of funny in like HRH totally collection of James. So I think for a minute, people were like, oh my god, it's so funny. Like when he yells and like gets crazy. Yeah. So I think that maybe in his diluted ratatouille brain. Right. Right, right, right. He was like, oh, if I yell about it, people are gonna love. People will think it's funny.
SPEAKER_03People will be like, ah ha ha, he's so funny and crazy, not a ha ha, you're fucking awful. Crazy.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Like when he made the video, like, we are fucked. No one seems to care.
SPEAKER_03Like everyone was like, ha ha, funny, like clapping, laughing. But that's because we all agreed with him in that one, shockingly.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_02I don't even remember what it was.
SPEAKER_03First time. I think it was actually something political where I was like, okay, James, but he was obviously being crazy because yeah, we are fucked, and no one seems to care. Like, okay.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so I don't know. I think I think in his warped little fucking gerbil brain, he thought, like, if this is my delivery, I can make it funny, and people will like agree with me in the comments. And thank fucking god, everyone was like, you're a fucking clown. Yeah. You're literally a fucking clown. Get your shoes, Boba Bozo. Like flopping around. Bobo the fucking fool. Like, oh my god. So I don't know. I also think like it is crazy too with his past cancellations, because it's like, how literally like a magician, how is he doing that? Like, yeah, how are you coming back from all these things? And hopefully this time it sticks. I also think that like he struck such a nerve with everyone, like the working class. Everyone kind of united and was like, literally, fuck you.
SPEAKER_03Because like everyone has to pay these gas prices.
SPEAKER_02Right. And everyone's kind of like putting money into his pocket without even trying. Just by watching and interacting with the video, he's gonna make a buck. Mm-hmm. And then I'm seeing people also kind of get into like these conspiracies, which who the fuck knows? People being like, Did he plan this? Like, was this like an awful, awful PR scent for him just to maintain his relevancy? Bills are getting low, his lights are flickering, and he's like, I gotta do something.
SPEAKER_03He's trying to pay back that Halloween headpiece he had to fly to Miami for.
SPEAKER_02Whatever. James. I'm like James for prison.
SPEAKER_03It's like every guilty. Count one.
SPEAKER_02Guilty. Literally found guilty on all charges. Like.
SPEAKER_03Oh my god.
SPEAKER_02I need to cool off. Yeah. So I need to ask you about Baby Yoda. What a what whiplash, bro? I was hoping you'd bring this up. Can you like tell me about him? Tell me about your friend. Because like I really don't know much about him.
SPEAKER_03Y'all, I'm so obsessed with Baby Yoda. Also, I know that his name's Grogu. Oh my God.
SPEAKER_00I don't know who this dude is, but can you like Google pictures?
SPEAKER_03Like, okay, this picture that Amish has.
SPEAKER_00I met him randomly on Saturday. Oh, it's fine.
SPEAKER_03I met him randomly. I met Grogu randomly.
SPEAKER_00He was running around just fucking moshing with a Grogu, dude.
SPEAKER_03Um. What's Grogu? What's Grogu versus like Baby Yoda? Grogu is his name, but everyone refers to him as Baby Yoda. He's not Yoda. I know he's a different thing. He's called Grogu. He's the child. He's, I don't know. And no one knows like what species they are. I don't know. Is there multiple of them or is it just the two of them? I think it's just the two of them that are like living, but there are multiple of the species. We don't know that much. I love that one. No, no, no. The one that looks he looks weird and bad in early designs of baby Yoda. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Oh, what the fuck? Oh my god, throw that shit on the grill.
SPEAKER_00Yo, throwback. Oh my god. I would smoke him like a brisket. So cute.
SPEAKER_01So funny. Wait, look at that one there. Put that shit in a tortilla.
SPEAKER_00Were you that was like Sarah E, right? Yeah. That shit was so funny.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god.
SPEAKER_03He's so cute.
SPEAKER_02No, he actually is like really fucking sweet.
SPEAKER_03One time in college, I was like hanging out. My friends and I were hanging out in this boy's dorm. He was also really a very odd boy. We called him poodle.
SPEAKER_01Because he had like hair like a poodle.
SPEAKER_03Poodle. You know who you are. And he had this like, um, he was really obsessed with Disney, and so he had like Disney posters, and I was like, low-key same.
SPEAKER_02Right.
SPEAKER_03But he had um like a baby Yoda poster. I went, oh my god, baby Yoda. He goes, Grogu.
SPEAKER_02I was like, okay, girl.
SPEAKER_03We need a chill. So I know that his legal name is Grogu or whatever. He was basically he was at the Grove a few like on May the 4th. Grogu. May the 4th be with you. Grogu.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_03He was at the Grove. Um, obviously I was at the Grove. I'm at the Grove like every day.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you post up. You loiter at the Grove. I love the Grove. You love the Grove.
SPEAKER_03Because I go to Lala Land and AMC and Wetzel Pretzel.
SPEAKER_02Mm-hmm. That's like Holy Trinity.
SPEAKER_03So cute in person. Oh. And I was like, oh my god. And then I went into the AMC to validate my parking. Every time. Because I got that AMC subs. Um and so I went into validate my parking. And there was another baby Yoda. And I was like, and I saw it. I know. And I was he moving? No, no, no. He was just like on the back of the Mandalorian, Pedro Pascal. That's another thing. Pedro Pascal has been pissing me off these days. Yeah, I know. I saw your TikTok. She's like clip farming, I think. Like by trying to be cute to Grogu and like wipe his mouth of food. I'm like, so it's an animatronic. Mind you, I feel moderately towards Grogu. I'd be rocking him like a baby. You're literally like, oh, oh my god, but it pisses me off because I'm like, no, you don't actually mean that. Right. You were on set with him for like, what, months and months and months? Mm. Mm-hmm. You know, you're just you're clip farming. Stop infantilizing me. And you're denouncing your homosexuality. Yeah. Piss me off bad. Pedro Pascal, everyone glazes Pedro Pascal. Oh, Pedro Pascal, Pedro Pascal, Pedro Pascal.
SPEAKER_02Sorry. Maybe you're converting me right now.
SPEAKER_03I don't know. Like something about him pisses me off where I'm like, you're clip farming. You want everyone to be like, oh my God, that's daddy. And like, that's weird to me.
SPEAKER_02No one it's working, but maybe I'm a sheep. Sheep.
SPEAKER_03I'm like, y'all, take the glasses off. Take the Pedro Pascal glasses off. Like, he pissed me off.
SPEAKER_02Um, the curtain's gonna fall, like pause is revealed. Literally. Awful person.
SPEAKER_03Well, he's not even an awful person. He's just pissing me off.
SPEAKER_02It's gonna come out like he kicked Grogu on set that part.
SPEAKER_03He got pissed with Grogu because Grogu wanted crafty or some bullshit. Fucking stop! Yeah, he wants like gluten-free, whatever.
SPEAKER_02Hunted him across the road.
SPEAKER_03I'm obsessed with Baby Ota. I've been looking up trying to find a Baby Oda reborn doll. You can buy for $600 the most realistic animatronic on the market of Baby Yoda from I think Mattel.
SPEAKER_02Everyone, everyone go sign up for the Patreon! Please sign up for the Patreon doll.
SPEAKER_03Like literally, when I hit a big, like that's what I'm gonna get. We need him as a guest. Oh, he's so cute. And apparently he like moves his hands.
SPEAKER_02I know, I see the videos.
SPEAKER_03But basically, Grogu is like 50 years old because you know how like Yoda was 900? Yeah. So I know. So basically what it is is like in that species, supposedly, they age really slow. So like 10 years in Grogu years accounts for like one year of human. So he's like five-ish, sort of. Okay. Um, but apparently his like development was stunted or some bullshit because they like kept him in a capsule and then like broke him free. Um and he was like Hasbulla. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01When Mike Tyson kissed him. Me with Grogu. Pedro Pascal. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_03Oh my god, Pedro Pascal is like Mike Tyson when he kissed Hasbullah like.
SPEAKER_02And honestly, like I get it. Yeah, like the hyperbone has bula. Like that's how the people act. Mind you, grown man. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Like that's oh my god, but he's playing with him. He's playing. Oh my god. Mike Tyson's like when he kisses him. Like he's a fucking prop. Like, that's how I kiss my cat. Oh my god. Like he got cute.
SPEAKER_03Although, like, that's the person I don't want getting cute aggression. Like he's like Lenny from Mike's event.
SPEAKER_01Like that's how I'm gonna be with baby. I'm gonna kill him like accidentally. Put him in my pocket. Put in my pocket dead.
unknownI have to keep him.
SPEAKER_01I have tears.
SPEAKER_03I was I used that reference the other day because we were talking about possums, Anya and Annabelle and I. And apparently, hobos, the reason why hobo.
SPEAKER_00Hobo is the fucking.
SPEAKER_03No, the reason why possums are in California is because when hobos were coming across.
SPEAKER_01Dumbledore's gonna get unhoused.
SPEAKER_03No, hobo! Back in these times in the 1840s, whatever, they they were self-proclaimed hobo.
SPEAKER_02I don't even think they care as much as like other people care. They're all dead.
SPEAKER_03Like this. Like they had to stick with a bandana. And basically they would have these pocket pets. Oh. Pocket. Pocket. And it would be like a mouse or a baby possum. And so they put the baby possum in their pocket and they'd take them across and they'd make it to California. And then they let the pocket free. Let the possum free. And that's why there are possums in California.
SPEAKER_02No fucking way.
SPEAKER_03Yes. And then I said on TikTok. And then I said, No, I think my dad actually told me this. So, like, obviously it's true. Like, it's gotta be true. Like, he has authority. Um, but I was like, oh my god, my my possum would obviously die because I wouldn't like feed it or I'd be weird, and then I would keep it in my pocket, like the guy from Mice and Men. And Anya said, What?
SPEAKER_02Oh.
SPEAKER_03Anya.
SPEAKER_02She's not with the shit. Yeah, I was like, Anya, you don't know Mike and Men. Keep up. Start reading. Who even wrote that? I'm like, JD Saladin's.
SPEAKER_03No, it's the Grapes of Wrath guy.
SPEAKER_02Let me ask the audience. Oh my god, my mom's friend had a possum as a pet growing up.
SPEAKER_03Aw, see, I want that.
SPEAKER_02And I guess you could just, well, I'll see the people like on TikTok too randomly that have like weird pets. Yes, an exotic animal. Oh my god, have you ever seen um, I want to say it's pumba. I think pumba. Roxy, like a puma. And it is, it's like a little puma. But this person like hasn't it has to feed it like wrong.
SPEAKER_03Oh my god, like it's wrong, but I want it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but the thing will like snarl at him. He's like, this is my pet, pumba, and it's like like about to rip his fucking face off.
SPEAKER_03That's why in Florida the Everglades has such a bad python problem. They're not native, people just got pythons at pets, and then we're like, let's let him free. Is that real? Yes.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that is real.
SPEAKER_03And now you have to like go and like kill them.
SPEAKER_02Pumba! And he'll be like, This is my baby. The thing's literally like foaming at the mouth. You can tell he's like scared of it too.
SPEAKER_03There's a place in Culver City, it's a exotic animal rescue where they like rescue animals who have these exotic animals as pets, and you can like go hang out with them. I'm like, we should do that.
SPEAKER_02Wait, I'm there. And I am so the bitch too, where it's like my energy is different.
SPEAKER_03Like, I feel like I could take care of it.
SPEAKER_02Like, if I saw a grizzly bear in the wild, I'd go pet it.
SPEAKER_03Right? I'd be like, shh. Like it would let me mount. Like Snow White, I'd sing a song.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I'm singing a song. It's just possums and rats.
SPEAKER_03No, literally, they're like, wait a second. Like this bitch Loki, like speaks for the trees.

SPEAKER_02That's incredible.
SPEAKER_03And so basically, I'm like, please help me. Um, and so I connect her with the girl who runs, who's like the curator for the gallery, whatever. I get a text from that girl. Let's call her Ella. Um, Ella goes, let's call the other girl Sarah. Sarah didn't re Sher Sarah's fucking fired. I'm like Just out the nowhere. Good morning. It's 10 a.m. I just woke up.

unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03Like, I'm okay. Did someone die? I literally thought she had died. Stop. I literally go, are you okay? Like, what what? And she's like, Yeah.

It's 3 p.m. your time now. It's noon my time. It's oh no, no, no, sorry. It was like it was noon um there. She's like, well, I woke up at noon.
SPEAKER_02The time that you were supposed to be in the gallery?
SPEAKER_03Don't tell your employee that. Your employer that. Like, are you okay? Like, what happened? Are you going into work today? I guess I can go at three. I guess. I was literally like, have I been transported to another universe where people don't act the same way that I act? Like, that's not how you respond to this situation. You go, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I'm going to be late. I'll be an hour late today. I'm so sorry. I understand you guys are hired me for this job. I go, are you going into the gallery today? I guess I can go at three. I go, Sarah. Like it's such an inconvenience. I go, Sarah, I hired you for a job.
SPEAKER_02I hired it. What's up with that? Yeah, what's up with that? And speak on it.
SPEAKER_03I know. I'm being so bad. And then she went, I'm sorry, I'm heartbroken. The guy she was seeing for a month decided, sent her a text message saying, I want to be monogamous with someone else. Last week.
SPEAKER_02That's like some Love Island shit.
SPEAKER_03No, I'm I'm literally like a month. Are we serious? A month. Are we serious? Okay. Guess what? Teachers, doctors, nurses, airplane pilots. Me when I worked at Texas Roadhouse. Oh, you break your foot. Oh, you get heartbroken. You go to work. I've pay you. I'm paying you $30 an hour. I love I pay you. I'm paying you $30. I hired you. No, no, no.
SPEAKER_02I don't even make that much money at the gallery. At all. But like, what is that? What is that? People like just are so reckless, careless, like with their jobs. I've had people die. Like, close friends die, and I have to report to work same day. Yup. Like that's. I had a close friend die. I took one day off of work. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I think that was like the only time like I've ever called out. Like my friend passed, and I even then I was still like, I could come in.
SPEAKER_03Like, yeah, I was like, I can come in, but like maybe you don't want to give me, you don't want to make me give a tour of the college right now. Yeah, like I was too crazy. I could break down crying at any fucking minute. Oh my god. And then I go, okay, I'm gonna hang up now. Yeah. So you'll be there at three. Yeah, I guess I'll be there at three. She texts Anya, who's also her friend, my friend Anya like we're all friends from college. Like, we text each other pretty often. Like, that's my girl. Yeah. Like, that's my friend. She texts Anya, Molly, mad at me. Yeah, the fuck I am. I'm being a bad. Mind you, at this point, I was texting Anya while we were on the FaceTime call. Can you believe this happened? I genuinely am like, is she mentally okay? This is crazy. Right. She texts Anya, I'm being a bad goose. I said I would be at the at the fair at noon and it's 1 p.m. now. Then she texts new text. Whatever. Whatever.
SPEAKER_02Okay, and and there is something to be said about hiring friends to do a job where like they don't treat it as a real job. Just because we're friends, like does not mean that you could just get to be a bad goose. A bad goose? You get to be a bad goose? I'm still like, let's a friendship aside, this is a job. You are doing you have a work obligation. At least, at least, at the least, I saw James Charles.
SPEAKER_03Oh, and let me tell you one more thing. Yeah. The day before, she texted me, hi, like we're on the phone. Hi, can you um can you send me $200? Like, I'll pay you back. Like, can you send me $200? I just like I need to move some money around and like I need to buy power tools because I hired her because she said she had power tools to use to install the artwork. I was like, oh my god, of course, totally. So I venmo her $200. So mind you, I've already Venmoed her $200. Now she's not showing up to work the next day. I text her. You're never seeing that $200? No, no, no, no. I texted her. I said, after like after the day had gone by, sent me the $200. She went, I said this morning, heart, heart. And then she said, sorry, I was a bad goose. I said, Yeah, totally not cool. She didn't respond.
SPEAKER_02Totally not cool.
SPEAKER_03I said, totally not cool.
SPEAKER_02Totally not cool. But like I said, like there's there's this like disconnect when you hire a friend to do a job, they don't take it seriously at all. Because like you're not thinking of me as like in I'm in a position of power. I'm not, we're equals. But it's like I'm still hiring you to execute this job. Do it. You're putting my tasks on the line. You're getting paid. And yeah, now it like it reflects poorly on you. You're my recommendation! Exactly. Oh my god. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_03You're my recommendation. I didn't get a real sincere apology, still to this day. Yeah. This happened a few days ago. She texted me like a selfie and like a few hearts the other day, and I was like, okay, I don't want to like fight with you. So I said, okay, great. Like, how's the fair going? She was like, great, whatever. I still have not received an apology. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You show up, you go, you stop answering your text about work. Again, a job that I hired you for. Again, you needed the money. I had to send you $200. Right, right.
SPEAKER_02That's an ugh sorry. That's another thing.
SPEAKER_03Like I'm heartbroken? It's always like. It's so like my problems are like, I don't even care. You can send me an apology right now if you're watching this. Like, I would appreciate an apology. Like, phone's open. It phones open. Like, this was actually like a really crazy thing to do.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, like it just sucks because then, like, like we said, it just reflects badly on you. And it's like, that's also like your connection. Like, you're kind of like tied into like that job. So it's just kind of like, fuck, dude. Like, you're making me look like a fucking idiot. You're making me look bad. Bobo the fool.
SPEAKER_03You are making me look bad to my employers who are there working with you right now.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03The people who hired me, I said to them, I have someone who would be great for the job, amazing. Like, because here's the thing. I genuinely think she would be great for the job. I just don't know what's happening. Like, I'm still like literally what is going on with you. Like, this is so out of character. And so I'm allowed to talk about it on Flopcast because you didn't show up to work for three hours.
SPEAKER_02Taylor Swift always said, if you don't want me to write a song about you, don't do shitty things. Exactly. And then Tana and Brooke would always say that and cancel. And I was like, it's exactly shitty things.
SPEAKER_03Because it's like maybe at least shoot me an I'm sorry text. Like a real one. Not sorry, I was a bad goose, heart, heart. That's not a real I'm sorry text. You need to be like, Molly, I'm so sorry. Like this was your time. Like, this is actually your job. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_02But like skirting around that to make it so that it's not like as serious. Do you know what I'm saying? No accountability taken. That's that's the thing. It's like I think she's avoiding doing that because she doesn't want to like address how actually like serious it is. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And how like crazy that is to do. Like, yeah.
SPEAKER_02And also, like, at least, at the bare minimum, text you the day of, the morning of and Oh my god, I woke up late. Or yeah, I'm so sorry. I woke up late. I feel like shit. This this man just that I've known for a month, just broke up with me. I'm in the fucking trenches. Like, and I I'm so sorry. Whatever.
SPEAKER_03I'm so sorry, I'm totally going through something. I'll be there at three. You could have texted that. Instead, I not only were you not answering calls from Ella, who was in New York, but you, first of all, let the phone ring once for me. Pick up on the second call, and you were on.
SPEAKER_02She knew she was in the rush. She knew she was in the wrong.
SPEAKER_03Exactly.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03No, like my Erica Kirk. Yeah. Bad goose. Like that's crazy. Don't be a bad goose. Bad goose. Don't be a bad goose. Anyway, so I was heated.
SPEAKER_02I I learned very fast, like in my previous jobs, to not hire friends for that reason because they don't take it seriously.
SPEAKER_03And what's even crazier is like I have other friends in New York who like I who did art, who studied art with me in college, like whatever. And I was like, no, no one else besides like maybe Sarah, maybe my other friend, like Ari, like could do this, but Ari has a full-time job.
SPEAKER_01Right.
SPEAKER_03So I was like, okay, like Sarah, like, could you help us out? Like, I'm doing you a solid, you're doing me a solid. Like, but also I'm doing you a little bit more of a solid than you're doing me.
SPEAKER_02Is she like known to be a flaky flake? No. Oh, so this is kind of like out of character.
SPEAKER_03That's why it was like, you're dead. Like you've died. Like I literally was like, you've died. Something like terrible happened. It'd be like if you didn't show up to flopcast and didn't say anything.
SPEAKER_02I would just never.
SPEAKER_03I would just never. You'd be like, face, hi, I'm feeling so bad. Like, you know what I mean? Like, yeah. I would be like, oh my god, you're dead in your apartment. You know what I mean? Like, I literally thought someone had killed her or she died in her sleep.
SPEAKER_02One time when I was working at the tanning salon, I texted Tori, my best friend, old co-worker, and I was like, oh my god, dude, like I feel like shit today. Like, I would rather die than go to work. Can you please cover my shift? She goes, uh, so actually my friend just passed away this morning.
unknownFuck, fuck, fuck.
SPEAKER_02I'm going, I'd rather die than go to work today. She goes, So my friend died this morning. I went, oh.
SPEAKER_03My bad. Thank you. Thank you for checking my privilege.
SPEAKER_02I'm not kidding. But shit happened. Like, uh, shit happens. Just send a fucking text. Just send the send an apology.
SPEAKER_03Also, there's no one who's going to be more understanding of that text message than me. Yeah. You sent me that text message. Oh my god, I so get it. Like, am I a little upset a little bit, but I get it. Thank you for telling me. The fact that it was like radio silence just didn't show up to work. Yeah, no. An hour later I call. Yeah. And does she forget you're a triple Virgo? Uh you better not. I'm like, Oh, because it's all fun and games. Okay.
SPEAKER_01No one wants to work these days.
SPEAKER_03No one wants to work these days. It's all fun and games. I will crack my jokes. I will get on flopcasts. You know, like this is this is our thing. Yeah. But when it comes down to it, don't piss me off.
SPEAKER_02Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You piss me off. So that shit means a lot to you. That shit means a lot. That shit means a lot to you.
SPEAKER_03You didn't show up on time.
SPEAKER_02Yep. I'm working on my timeliness. No, like me too.
SPEAKER_03I was 10 minutes late today anyway.
SPEAKER_02No, but it's so funny because you texted the group chat and you go, I'm 10 minutes late today. We pulled it at the same time. So my man. Oh, you know what? You know what I actually really want to talk about? I have this written down. I have two things actually. I really want to talk about the importance of having a good teacher. True. Have you had a teacher? Like, did you have a teacher in high school that, or even like in college where you were like, holy fuck, this person has changed the trajector like the trajectory of my life.
SPEAKER_03Gerlyn Dodds. Oh. Professor at Sarah Lawrence College. She's the head of the art history department. She used to work for I think she's still on the board at the Met. She is an amazing professor.
SPEAKER_02Oh, wait, okay, I love that. Yeah. I fucking love that. Dude, like, I saw a TikTok the other day, and it was this guy, he must have been like late 20s, early 30s, and he was talking about like this teacher that he had in elementary school and how she taught them like all of her kids like incredible like life lessons, and she gave them like this book, and like it's teaching them like vocabulary words. And to this day, he still recalls these words from that book, and like Because of like how great of a teacher she was. Um, and it got me thinking, and I was like, I had this art teacher in high school, her name was Miss Sykes, and oh my god, to this day, I'll get drunk. I've maybe I've told you this. Like, I'll get drunk and like I'll drunk text her. And I'll just like last night I almost texted her and I was like, Miss Sykes, like I just want you to know like truly like the impact that you've had on me. And like it is so crucial. I think like everyone needs like one of those teachers. Like, and it's just like the impact that they have is so fucking important.
SPEAKER_03And like I had a teacher in second grade, Miss Lehman. We're we're still Facebook friends. Like, she was really big for me. Like, she was honestly a really tough cuckie because like I really did poorly on text tests, and I really had a horrible time not talking in class. Like forever, this has been a problem. But she was really awesome, and then also like something I'm really I'm very much a sentimental girl, and like until I was on antidepressants, I was super sentimental. And whenever I saw one of my like teachers out in public from like my elementary or middle school, like I would start to cry just because I loved or missed them so much.
SPEAKER_02Like, dude, I get it. I still feel this way, and like she was just so fucking she was the coolest bitch ever. She was one of those teachers that just like it made school not feel like school. Like you would go into her classroom, it was so laid back, like she had a toaster in there, people were like making bagels. Like she was just so fucking chill and just like cared and would like sit at the table like with the students and just shoot the shit. Miss Ringo.
SPEAKER_03Miss Ringo Miss Ringo, my high school English teacher. We kind of do have a little bit of beef now because she didn't write my she told me she'd write my me recommendation letters and then she didn't, and then Barnold Barnard didn't even look at my application because they didn't get an accepted, like a r a whatchamacallit, letter. Oh yeah, I'd have to. So like we have a little bit of beef. Right. But it's okay. I forgive and forget. Sure.
SPEAKER_02Well, but you never let it go.
SPEAKER_03Um but she was awesome. Like every lunch, like you could just go sit in her class during lunch, like we just talk, like she have her own co-star.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, right. Well, me and my me and my teacher, and like it's sad because now, like, it would probably sound so weird. It's not like Hailey Beck. That's I was just about to say, like, it's not like some Hayley Beck shit. We're like teaching, good teaching. Yes, and like now it's sad because I feel like maybe people like would see that, and because like the Hayley Beck's of the world be like, oh, this is like weird, you shouldn't be doing this. But like me and my teacher, after I graduated, we'd go get thought together. We would literally just go like get meals and like just chill and hang and it's like so so important to me. And it's like, oh my god, like for life, best teacher ever. Aww. I know. And I was just like, oh my god, shout out to all the teachers, shout out to all the teachers.
SPEAKER_03Literally, shout out to all the teachers because teachers are going to work. Guess what? If they have a broken heart or not. Yeah, if they get broken up with or not, and they're not making $30 an IM.
SPEAKER_02Fuck no. Fuck no.
SPEAKER_03They made $30 a day.
SPEAKER_02And I'm I'm sure. And they have to deal with like high school, middle school teenage boys. They're not getting paid enough, sister. They should be making a dollar.
SPEAKER_03They're teenage girls. Like, I'm sorry, like I was kind of hard to deal with.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that was probably a bit.
SPEAKER_03I had a problem with everything.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Yeah, even if like the conditions were perfect, I still would complain about it.
SPEAKER_03I had a problem with it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03I had some really awesome teachers and some really fucking crazy teachers too. Like, that's just like the public high school of it all.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Oh my god. But I think that's what it is.
SPEAKER_03It's like, it's really like um being boozled. Right? Like you just never know.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, did you have write my uh rate my professor.com? Yeah. That was my favorite. That was my favorite.
SPEAKER_03Oh my god. I um I took this class because I like basically during registration at Sarah Lawrence, you don't register until two days before classes start.
SPEAKER_02Love that. The most unconventional school ever.
SPEAKER_03They had a problem with everything. First of all, the website didn't work. Second of all, you literally, the website literally looks like I made it on Squarespace. Like, it is insane. My SLC shout out. But I took this class with this professor named Gina. Gina is so nuts. She's awesome, but she's nuts. And like, oh my god. It was a psychology class. Um, she would take smoke breaks outside with us. She'd be like, class, like, it's a nice day, like, let's sit outside. She'd be smoking a cigarette. A college tour would walk by, she's smoking a cigarette. There's a sign right above her that says, This is a non-smoking campus. What a queen. But she was like tenured, and so she'd be like, well, what a queen.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, what do they do? Fire me?
SPEAKER_03Like, what a queen. What a fucking queen.
SPEAKER_02When I was in college, I had to. She had a really low rate. No, but she sounds like a whole fucking vibe.
SPEAKER_03She was. It's like, if you like Gina, you fucked with Gina. If you didn't.
SPEAKER_02If you did it.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02That was kind of like Miss Sykes. Yeah. Like if you were on her bad side, like some people really did not fuck with her. Yeah. But if you fucked with her, you were like, Yep, you were out.
SPEAKER_03She um would confuse me and my friend Lily. We were in the same class together. She'd be, oh Lily. I'd be like, so it's Molly. So it's Molly. Oh Molly, how are you? It's so it's Lily. But she didn't recognize me ever again.
SPEAKER_02That's the best kind of teacher, too. Like Miss, I was so crazy. She was like a little like a few screws loose. But it's like in the best way possible. And like it makes her like such a character.
SPEAKER_03No, and I learned so much in Gina's class, I was like, you're fucking lit. Right? Keep her on.
SPEAKER_02When I was in case in college, I think it was like my like senior year. I had this psychology professor, his name was uh whatever, it doesn't matter what his name was. Um, so fine.
SPEAKER_01Really?
SPEAKER_02So fine. Molly, I swear to God, I think I would like be flirting with him in class. Like, I'm not kidding. It was one of those where I genuinely like talked to my friends. I'm like, wait, are we flirting? Like, I don't know. Like, there was tension. There was tension. One time I like went to his like uh, I had to like I missed a test one time because I was like sick. So I had to like retake it and I had to like go to his office like after like after hours. Not even kidding, Molly. I shaved to the bone. I literally shaved to the bone. Like a fifth grader during a One Direction concert. Oh, exactly. That I go into his office, I'm like, okay, I'm ready. He's like, okay, here. He throws the paper down on the desk. I'm like so you're like, so you gotta see page. He's like, really apply yourself. I'm like, uh, what? I'm like, I'm trying. Hello. Um, and then I graduated, and one one night I was drunk. This was like months after I had graduated. I literally DM'd him on Instagram and I said, just wanted to let you know that when you were my professor, I wanted to smash so bad. Oh my god. Oh my god. I need to find the problem. Who's the problem? No, no, no, it's like it's not okay.
SPEAKER_03Hi, it's me again.
SPEAKER_02Mind you, and and very important to note that I was totally of age. I think it was like 21, 22.
SPEAKER_00Um left unseen or did he even see it?
SPEAKER_02No, he answered.
SPEAKER_00Oh shit.
SPEAKER_02Wait, I'm trying to find it. I'm trying to find it.
SPEAKER_03While you're trying to find it, let me just say all the professors at Sarah Lawrence, like, were kind of CHOP. So it was kind of like, um, so it's kind of like when my friends would be like, oh my god, that professor's so hot, I'd be like, girl, he's just surrounded by Chop. Like he looks as normal as the next guy, but like because he's surrounded by in a sea of chop, like in a sea of like 85-year-olds or like chop 45-year-olds who like are depressed that they're teaching at Sarah Lawrence. Mind you, I think that Sarah Lawrence has some of the best professors. Might I just go on record and say, Oh my god, wait, wait, I'm so lying.
SPEAKER_02He never responded.
SPEAKER_00Did he open it? Please. Or did he delete it? No, no, no, no. Oh, you double texted him.
SPEAKER_02Maybe he deleted it. Because I swear to God, I feel like he responded. It started, he I posted a story and he responded, Dear God, watch out, world. I forget what I said.
SPEAKER_03Like, why was he following you on Instagram?
SPEAKER_02How old was he? He was probably like mid-30s. Mid-30s, I'd say. A little weird. Oh my god. I know he responded, he definitely deleted it. Because yeah, now I'm looking, he's posted up he has a wife.
SPEAKER_03What was the nature of the response?
SPEAKER_02I have no idea. I have no idea. And like I'm not even gonna put words in this man's mouth. Like just leave him. Just let him let him be. He's innocent. Let him be. He's good, he's fine.
SPEAKER_03He's innocent.
SPEAKER_02But oh my god, I was like, I was crazy back then.
SPEAKER_03I've been on my audiobook grind. Wait, love. And there was I listened to this audiobook, Margot's Got Money Trouble. Oh, it's a show, right? It's a show now with El Fanning. And El Fanning narrates the audiobook, so I was like interested in it. Okay, cool. But a very similar thing happens to her, and then she has her professor's baby.
unknownOh.
SPEAKER_02See, that could have been me. It could have happened.
SPEAKER_03And then she becomes an OnlyFans girl.
SPEAKER_02Wait, okay. But like, is she with the professor? No, no.
SPEAKER_03He's like, I don't want anything to do with you. Like, sign this NDA, like, I'll give you $50,000 and you can't never talk to me or go to this school again.
SPEAKER_02So she has the kid and then decides to start OnlyFans, like, provide.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Good ending? Happy ending?
SPEAKER_03Great ending. Love. Actually, like highly recommend. Really? It was actually a great book. Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_02I should get into it.
SPEAKER_03And right now I'm listening, I listened to FameSick. I started reading it and then I was like, I can't be reading. Right. I have to be listening.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I can't.
SPEAKER_03Um, so I listened to FameSick and I just love Lena Dunham. But now I'm listening to Yesteryear. Have you heard of this? No. Anne Hathaway supposedly is going has like bought the rights and is like working with a production company to make it into a movie. Okay. Basically, the premise is a trad wife influencer who lives on a farm, very ballerina, ballerina Farms. It's like supposedly based off of Valerina Farms, um, gets transported in like gets goes back to the 1850s. What? And is like, fuck my life, this sucks, right? It was very interesting. It's a little long.
SPEAKER_00She bought the rights to it, right? Is that what you just said? Yeah, I think she I think she got the rights.
SPEAKER_03Or she's working with a production company that has the rights, and she wants to play the woman, which I'm like, and Hathaway, we have to give up playing roles that are in early 30s, late 20s.
SPEAKER_02Well, you said it's like this influencer who's kind of doing like the trad wife thing. Yeah. Then she actually gets sent back in time, like when she would be like a real trad wife and like okay.
SPEAKER_03So it's a great premise. The execution is kind of fine.
SPEAKER_02Did you know I just this air I literally just learned about the whole ballerina farms thing two days ago. Really? I had no idea. I had literally no idea.
SPEAKER_03Well, insane timing. Like that's when I started listening to this book.
SPEAKER_02Wait, that's crazy. I was talking on the phone with Tori and she like told me all about she was going to Juilliard. That's crazy. For ballet. That's crazy. Wait, so what? She was going, she was going to Juilliard for ballet. She ends up like stopping ballet. Marrying this man. Marrying this man and doing like the whole like Nara Smith trad wife thing.
SPEAKER_03Nara Smith trad wife. She's like a farmer. It's very based off of Ballerina Farms, this book.
SPEAKER_02Are and people are mad about it because they think that she kind of like fell victim to this man.
SPEAKER_03Totally fell victim to the man. Like, where is her potential of like being a ballerina because then she like just got married and got pregnant and dropped out, and it's like Juilliard.
SPEAKER_02Is it is it confirmed that like it wasn't by her own agency that she decided to like?
SPEAKER_03No, it's not confirmed. So that's why people are like, it's really a big speculation game of like, was she pressured into doing this because of like religion or like I don't know, money or something like that? But it's no one knows if it was like just her choice to Yeah, I'm sure it was her choice in the way that like we all make choices, but there were probably a lot of things like going on.
SPEAKER_02A few factors was like behind the scenes. Totally. Okay, interesting. I literally just learned about this like two days ago. I'm so fucking far behind. I feel like Trisha in that sense, or it's like I'll learn about something five months later and then be like our Michael Jackson phase, like 10 years later his death.
SPEAKER_03Like, oh my god, 15 years after his death, 17 years after his death. I can't do math.
SPEAKER_02I know. Except for I did say I think every child has like a Michael Jackson phase in the fourth grade, learned how to moonwalk, was obsessed with the bad album. Like it happened. It happened. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I was supposed to go on a date Sunday.
SPEAKER_02Oh.
SPEAKER_00Oh, wait.
SPEAKER_02We're supposed to. So what happened?
SPEAKER_00Uh first time ever, I got a. We had like an entire place planned. It was like two o'clock coffee on Sunday. And you know how you like you it was off of hymns. So I was gonna text her on Sunday morning. Is it the first time someone ever like?

SPEAKER_02Do they know how high in demand you are?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02They don't even know how to do that.
SPEAKER_00I'm just kidding. For me to say no is crazy too, by the way.
unknownNo, no.
SPEAKER_02So real. I'm not kidding. The girls, I'm sure you guys see the comments. The girls are eating Amish up. Me and Molly want to have a dating show. Yes. Kind of pressure. If you're into Amish Aaron and you want to be on Facebook.
SPEAKER_00What's the context of it though? Like, what is it? Because I was thinking about that. I feel like I feel so bad like saying no to like eight people.
SPEAKER_03I know, that's what's gonna make it so entertaining.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but you're like the nicest, sweetest guy ever. To see you be like, no, I'm good would be crazy. Um but we want to have an Amish dating show. Like, that'd be so fucking funny.
SPEAKER_03I know. I think that would be awesome like on Patreon.
SPEAKER_02And imagine us just sitting here, like grilling someone sitting across from us.
SPEAKER_03Literally, and we're like, so what do you do? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, you guys get to interview them?

SPEAKER_00Have you ever been on a first date to a dinner date? Like I did it one time and it kind of sucks. Because like I'm like sitting there trying to eat, and then you want to talk to them. And then there's like this like, you know what I'm talking about?
SPEAKER_02There's like an awkward, like I've been on my fair share of dinner dates, and every single time I'm like, never again, because it is so awkward.
SPEAKER_03The only dinner date I would want to go on is one to the magic castle.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. I like dinner and a show. Dinner and a show. Dinner and a show.
SPEAKER_00It's either coffee or drinks. That's what I do.
SPEAKER_03I went I like drinks. I went on a hinge date this past week.
SPEAKER_02I was like, let's talk about it.
SPEAKER_03Basically, I went on a date with this person on binary, they're them. And the reason why I swiped is because they posted a picture on hinge of them at Disney. Hello.
SPEAKER_02Love that.
SPEAKER_03I love that. Are you kidding me?
SPEAKER_02Were they Disney bounding?
SPEAKER_03Yes. They had like Winnie the Pooh ears on it. I was like, period.
SPEAKER_02Perfect. Little crop top. Yeah, exactly. Belly L.
SPEAKER_03And then, yeah.
unknownNo bands.
SPEAKER_03No bands. No, I was like, okay, Disney, like, maybe we could see some eye to eye. Right. You know? Then we went to coffee shop in Silver Lake. Um they messaged me five minutes. Like, I've already parked there because I get everywhere early. They messaged me, hey, is it okay if we do 12:30 instead of 12? Like, I have to go to CVS and get pain meds.
SPEAKER_02You're like, I'm literally already here.
SPEAKER_03First of all, call it Ibuprofen.
unknownPain meds.
SPEAKER_03Pain meds. Mind you, we had to be just taking benzos from the case. No, like we had to reschedule from the day before because they texted me, like, hey, like, I'm so sick right now. And then they told me all about their diarrhea. And I was like, okay. Um first day.
SPEAKER_02Honestly, like, that's how I text them.
SPEAKER_03I was like, yeah, same. I was like, okay, so I was like, honestly, maybe we really could see eye to eye, or maybe we really couldn't. It was not safe to say, not a love match. Um, by the end of the day, I did set them up with my friend Jonna.
SPEAKER_02Okay, great. Are they a love match? I don't know. Like, we'll find out. We'll find out next week on Floodcast.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Wait, okay. So we'll see.
SPEAKER_02Well, you inspired me because you texted me and you're like, I just went on a hinge date, and I was like, oh my God, like I need to get myself out there again. I hate it. I hate it. So, oh my god. It's where all the Chuds go to die. Like, literally, so it's Chud Factory. Chud Chud Factory. Like, she's like, hey, hey, I just fuck off.
SPEAKER_00That just happened to me. What are you talking about? Dude, like, I don't know.
SPEAKER_02When I tell you, it's like the creature from the fucking black lagoon. Like, it is creatures crawling up from the gutters, like, hello, gorgeous. Like, oh my god. It is it's really something.
SPEAKER_03They're like, put a mask on, maybe it'll work.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Michael Myers mask, let's talk. It's almost in it's gonna sound bad, whatever. It's my truth. Sometimes it's borderline offensive.
SPEAKER_03It's borderline offensive. And you know how like your standouts are supposedly more attractive than you?
SPEAKER_02Right.
SPEAKER_03Ooh, it's offensive.
SPEAKER_02No, I know.
SPEAKER_03Those are my standouts?
SPEAKER_02I don't know. Like, are we sure? I know. So then I go to Raya, and it's like, that's all just fucking, oh my god, it's all bad. It's just all bad. And I think for a minute I was like, I'm not using the apps. I want to meet someone organically. In what world? In what world?
SPEAKER_03First of all, I'm not talking to anyone organically like that.
SPEAKER_02And guess what? Men don't know how to talk to women. They don't. Men aren't coming up to women. They don't know how to talk to a question. No. And you know what happened? Oh my god, I meant to talk about this last week. Sorry, quick little side note. When I was in Miami, the classic thing happened where I meet this guy, he's friends with our friends, and I talk to him for like 40 minutes uninterrupted. I'm asking him just basic normal questions. I asked him about like a tattoo on his arm. Molly, I swear to God, the next day, my friend was like, Paige, he's in love with you. I'm like, why? Because I asked him about himself, like just normal conversation. Because I spoke to him and I'm like decently attractive. Like, and all of a sudden, this man's like, I like, I'm in love with her. Like, I'm just gonna go to the channel. She's insane. Her brain is perfect. Like, yeah, whatever. I'm like, this is crazy. This is crazy. Cause mind you too, I wasn't even being flirty. I wasn't even being flirty. I'm just having a conversation.
SPEAKER_03Asking a genuine question.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Also, on this date, on the hinge date, I was asking questions, right? Because I was like, first of all, we have we know nothing about each other other than like what's on hinge. You know that I like Arnold Palmers and I know that you like Disney's. That's literally all we know. Um, and so I'm like, oh, so like what do you do? Oh, okay, cool. Doesn't ask me. Okay, like, did you go to school? Oh, okay, doesn't ask me. Oh, okay, like, how was your day yesterday? I don't know. Like, doesn't ask me. And then has the audacity to say, this feels like a job interview. Whose fault is that?
SPEAKER_02You're making it a fucking interview. Ask a question, dude. That's happened to me so many times where like I'll just answer myself. Like, after they're done, I'll be like, and my favorite color is Lila. Literally, because like, what? Oh my god. And I love to talk about myself. I do too. So it's like, please ask me.
SPEAKER_03Like no way, no better way to win me over than to ask me a question about myself.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, 100%. Because then I become the guy, and I'm like, well, actually, exactly. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Also, something that, again, back to circle back to men being stupid. I was at this like hangout, and there were these boys, one was gay, one was straight. Obviously, gay one was great. Yeah. Straight one has the audacity to tell me that Ryan Kugler directed Sinners. Do I look like a fucking idiot? And like he just wants you to sit there and go, oh my god, no way. Really? I had no idea. So actually, we all live in LA and we all want to work in film. Obviously, we know that fucking Ryan Kugler directed fucking sinners. Who it pissed me off so bad. He was like, he because he said Ryan Kugler, right? He was like, oh yeah, Ryan Kugler. Beat. You know, the one who directed Sinners.
SPEAKER_02Right. Waiting for you to be like, oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know. And what's your point? What's your point? There is no point. He just wants to impress you. Exactly. He just wants to teach you something that you don't know. Literally. Um that it was just, I was watching girls the other night, and there's a scene where Adam Driver, or Adam, is just like talking about Lena and like after like their breakup, whatever, and he's being like, I like, I loved her so much because I taught her everything. Like it was so fun to like teach this person all of these things, like when they're so like naive and they don't know anything. That's all men want. That's all men want. They want you to be pretty and laugh at their jokes and they want to teach you things. And they want to teach you things. And they get such a fucking heart on when you don't know something and they're able to be like, oh my god, well, Stanley Kubrick? Literally. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And it's also like, here's the thing maybe it would work if you actually knew something. But guess what? We're all on the internet. We all know that Ryan Kugler directed fucking sinners. That's not a new piece of information.
SPEAKER_02He's like, and Michael B. Jordan played both characters.
SPEAKER_03Literally. You're like, I'm like, oh, no fucking way.
SPEAKER_02Like, oh my god. And and Tamin Paula is actually just one guy. Yeah, like literally. That's what all I want to do is tell you fucking mansplain pulp fiction and tell you that Tamin Paula is actually just one guy. Did you know?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Like, no way. Oh. Dude, I could do that. I'm trying to do that with my band. It's just me. Yeah, yeah. It's literally like electric chair. Literally.
SPEAKER_00Oh my God. Yeah. For me though, I'm not gonna lie, if you don't, like, I don't like that. No, I'm saying, like, if I I'm not like trying to teach anything. I'm saying, like, if you're just like, oh yeah, that's cool, I hate that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I like I'd like to learn shit that like I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, 100%. And that's why you're gonna be in our dating show. That's why you're the perfect candidate. That's why the girls love you. And also, that's why when you're telling me something or asking me a question, don't just state two facts.
SPEAKER_03Pisses me off so bad. It means so embarrassing.
SPEAKER_02It's really crazy. It's really crazy. And that was like, that's just what that's what happened to me in Miami with this dude. And I was just like, oh my god, piss off. Piss off. And then I was doing the thing where like I started to be mean to him just because I was like genuinely getting annoyed, and I think that he thought it was like hot, and like, oh my god, she's like a bitch. Totally. It means like she likes yeah.
SPEAKER_00Can you give me the worst date you've been on? Um she was still married. That was my first date I was ever on. That was pretty wild.
SPEAKER_03Mine was the one when someone had fidget toys out during the day.
SPEAKER_02Like, we have to leave. That's insane.
SPEAKER_03I was literally like, there's no way this is happening.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Yes, the worst date I ever been on was with a fucking furry. The worst date I ever went on was with a fucking furry! And I didn't find out until after. What type of animal? It was like a blue wolf.

SPEAKER_02I never see a bald eagle. No one's a blue wolf. No one's ever a horse. No one wants a cosplay bojock horseman. No, no, no, no. Oh no, no, no. It's always a fucking blue and gray wolf every single time in your fucking persona. Animal. Oh my god. Dude, so this happened. I like just moved out to LA. I was here for maybe like a week or two.

He like looks pretty cute from like his pictures, stuff, whatever. We kind of get to talking and he's like, let's cut the small talk. Like, I want to take you out to dinner. Cool. We go to this Ceviche place on the east side, and the whole time I sit down, it's the same thing. One-sided interview, but this man is like extremely autistic. Like it has to be like there's some level of autism because I'm talking to him and he's not looking at me like camera, you're me. He's going like this.
SPEAKER_00Ugh.
SPEAKER_02Mm-hmm. Like, I would ask him something. I'm like, oh, so where are you from? He'd go, Pennsylvania.
SPEAKER_03No, like love on the spectrum.
SPEAKER_00He's probably really nervous.

He starts trying to kiss me. And I'm like, honestly, I'm like, I don't do that on the first date. I do. Not with you. I smash on the first date. Not with it. Because not with you. So I'm being like, no, I'm sorry, like I just don't do it on the first date, whatever. He's trying to like kind of like grab me and like kiss me. He's like, come back to mine, come back to mine. I'm like, I'm really all sad. Like, I had a great time, but like my Uber's here, whatever. He's kind of like, and then I see his mood change, and he's kind of like doing like the fuck you bitch thing. Oh my god. He's like, okay, whatever. Like, see you later. I get into my car, he texts me, he goes, by the way, he sends me a Venmo request. He goes, by the way, pay me for dinner.

SPEAKER_03Well, I had a nightmare about a hinge date last night.
SPEAKER_02Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03Where basically, like, my hinge date was like, this is a different hinge date that was like made up in my mind where my hinge date was like, I like you so much. And I was like, please leave me alone. Like, whatever. And I knew it was a dream because like my socks were made out of trash bags. So like I knew things were wrong, you know? So like I didn't feel that threatened, but I was like, I can't do that. And like, if that's how I'm feeling in my dreams about it.
SPEAKER_02I can't deal with that in the real world. I gotta delete the app. I can't deal with that in the real world. Again, that's where like the chuds go to die. That's where the chuds go to die. That's where I go. I'm there.
SPEAKER_04I'm there too, bro. So fun.
SPEAKER_02I'm not above it. I'm on there too.
SPEAKER_03It also feels like I'm going on indeed.com whenever I'm there. It's like I'm sending out my job application to a job that I don't really want, and you're not gonna hire me anyway.
SPEAKER_00But it's like once every six months when it hits, it hits.
SPEAKER_02But yeah, but then you know what? It hits, but then it ends up becoming a fucking situation ship.
SPEAKER_00No, I had a full like six months I had a six-month relationship from his.
SPEAKER_02Whoa. Actually, my ex um, I dated her for like a year and I met her on his.
SPEAKER_00It was like the best relationship I was ever in, too.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, honestly, same.
SPEAKER_00But it's like that happened once in like the four years I've been on that shit.
SPEAKER_02So it's wait, literally same. I had one good relationship off of Hinge where she was like so normal, we dated for a year. Like that was great, and then after that.
SPEAKER_00What it's got it's like a it's sad to say it is kind of like a numbers game. I don't know, but that kind of fucks it up for me.
SPEAKER_03Like, I don't think that it's an algorithm.
SPEAKER_00Like it shouldn't be like that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You know what I mean? It's like fed to you, and it's also like, oh, I have to go on this amount of dates, maybe I'll meet someone I like. It's like it is like meeting someone, like when you actually like fuck with them in person, it's rare, but it feels nice. That feels so natural and good.
SPEAKER_02That's like my ex that I met at a funeral. I was like, oh my god, like it we just hit it off immediately. He was chewing on a stick, and I was like, that's my man.
unknownWhat the fuck?
SPEAKER_02Yeah. But then I ended up being bipolar, so yeah.
SPEAKER_03Chewing on a stick at a funeral. Didn't even know the guy who died.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03He's just there. Just wanted to hang out, just wanted to go camaraderie. Like I was wearing black and they had free sandwiches.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Sometimes I could just go on hinge and it really is just like a validation thing. Like if I'm bored too, I just check it like an app. It's like I go on Instagram, I go on TikTok, I check hinge.
SPEAKER_03Like I check hinge. It's like Pinterest. Pinterest, Depop, Facebook Marketplace, Hinge. Checking on your little Neo Pets. Like literally. It's all it's all about.
SPEAKER_00You get a lot of likes. Like just curiously. Because dude, I get I get zero likes.
SPEAKER_03I get zero likes.
SPEAKER_00I never get likes on hinge, but I'll like out of my likes, I like people, I'll match with like three out of ten of them. So it's like weird. It's not like a validation. I guess maybe a little bit.
SPEAKER_02I think it's because women send less likes. I I get a decent amount of likes. It's just from people who I wouldn't like back. Like it's just also that like, oh whatever, I could like go on a whole thing about like online dating so hard anyway, because it's like the amount of people that I've dated in my real life that I would see on an app just from the optics, yeah, and swipe on. Um, if I saw my ex on the app, I'd I'd probably scream. I'd go and like swipe left.
SPEAKER_03Cause really what it is all about is like a vibe.
SPEAKER_02It's just the vibe. If your vibe is cool, you have aura.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I'm there, I'm sold. Like that's all it takes.
SPEAKER_03But and it's also like people I know who like aren't really that conventionally attractive, like, but they just have like a good vibe, like always have someone. Oh my god, it's like though it's just those people that like are magnetic and attractive, and like it really doesn't have much to do with looks. And it's like I know that I'm soul chopped.
SPEAKER_02I'm soul chopped, I'm spiritually fucking chopped, and like that's the problem because like then I'll think about myself and I'm like, I see my other friends who can like get in and out of relationships so fucking fast, and I'm like, oh, what's that?
SPEAKER_00That's arguably worse, dude. If you're bouncing in and out of relationships, you probably have something wrong with you.
SPEAKER_02That is a that is a problem. I didn't even mean it like that, it just came out wrong. But I see my friends who can like get into relationships like so easily um and have like good relationships, and like when it ends, like they'll find like their next one, like whatever. Yeah, I don't have that. And I feel like I'm like kind of cursed in this lifetime. I do feel like the prophecy of Taylor Swift, where it's kind of like I feel like the prophecy. You know what I'm saying? Uh yes. Like, uh sometimes I I really do feel like that, and I'm like, oh my god, am I not meant to find love in this lifetime? No, I feel like a heart chalk or a block. Yeah, right. I'm like, I need to fucking I staged myself and it's still blocked. Like, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Like I'm like the case my therapist just can't crack. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_02And that's the thing, because then it's like I think about it, I'm like, ooh, am I just like chopped? Like externally or internally.
unknownI know.
SPEAKER_03I know.
SPEAKER_02It's just Ash Travino probably has a man. So it's like what?
SPEAKER_03Asantos. You know it's my love.
SPEAKER_02So then it's like, yeah, oh my god, it's either my shitty fucking looks or it's my shitty fucking personality.
SPEAKER_00If you're gonna find someone though, like when you do find like one good person, you're like, oh wow, this is like makes sense, I feel like, because that one good person kind of makes up for all the fucking shit. Like, you know, the good feeling of like love. Yeah, it feels it's addicting. Yeah, you know it is.
SPEAKER_03It's like I also speaking for both of us, but like you're just so special that like it's so true. It's just like not every puzzle piece is gonna be able to fit because like you're just so unique. You know, like and also not every puzzle piece deserves to fit.
SPEAKER_02Thank you. But then yeah, it's sad when I'm trying to fucking fit the pieces together. It's like it's not working.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Yeah. We're just some special gals and we'll find our people eventually. I'm just like a little bit autistic that no one can really figure out.
SPEAKER_02Someone's gonna crack the code.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it doesn't pop up on tests.
SPEAKER_02I know, kind of like I'm self-diagnosed, like a lot of things.
SPEAKER_03I'm self-diagnosed so much. Like I have obsessive compulsive disorder.
SPEAKER_02I just a few days ago determined that I was bipolar. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I know I like need to see a psychiatrist. That's another thing too. Why do they make it so hard? So hard to like schedule a psychiatrist approach. It's like you already know if I'm looking the shit up, I'm in the fucking trenches.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah. And I also wait um to the very last minute to refill my SSRI. So I always message my psychiatrist. Hi, like, it's me. Can you send me like um an emergency 20 pill, whatever, 20 day thing? Because also my psychiatrist, she's like, I'm not, I can't send you more than three months at a time. Right. So you have to have a meeting every three months. But like, my ass obviously isn't making the meeting every three months, so now I'm just like surviving off of these weird, like, one week thing I'll send to CVS for you. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's it's hard and it's expensive, and it's just like making an appointment, like yeah, jumping through so many hoops, it's like I already like don't even want to get out of fucking bed and it's 3 p.m.
SPEAKER_03It's like And also psychiatrists versus psychologists. I feel like psychiatrists don't want to believe you.
SPEAKER_02That's the thing. It's like I I also feel like I'm lying, even though I'm I'm not like I'm not lying.
SPEAKER_03Like I'm telling you, I have panic attacks. Like I'm telling you, but she's like, really? I'm like, well, I didn't have one today.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I'm like, I'm not having one currently, but I do. I know, and then it's like I don't want you to think that I'm trying to like drink money to get like drugs out of you. I'm not trying to do that. I'm trying to just like I'm just trying to figure out what the hell's going on up here. I'm just trying to feel better. I'm just trying to be fucking insane.
SPEAKER_00I locally think it might be because they don't want to if they can avoid it giving you something. Because I was on meds when I shouldn't have been like years ago, and it fucked me up. Like bad. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03I think I'm on too many right now. I think like basically I was on a 40, 40 milligrams of Prozac for a really long time. Then my friend died. Then I obviously that really took me out. And so then I had a meeting with my psychiatrist, and I was like, so this happened. And she was like, I'm just gonna bump you up to 50 for the time being. Now it's been like a year and a half.
SPEAKER_02The time being, the time being being a year and a half. Forever.
SPEAKER_03Um, and now I'm kind of like, I feel really detached in a really weird way. Like when I'm crying, I'm like, I'm crying right now, you know? And like when I'm laughing, I'm like, and I'm laughing right now, and I feel weird about it. Like I'm almost like disassociating while I'm feeling real feelings. Like it's really weird.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. When I was on Lexapro, I would get like that. Yeah. Like I was very much robotic. Like I didn't feel anything, but I knew during times like I should feel sad. And like I should feel upset by it.
SPEAKER_03I feel angry. Like with the thing that happened with Sarah. Uh-huh. Like, I was upset, but it like I didn't feel rage inside that I know should have been there. I just like mentally felt upset. Like, I just like my mind was just like, this is so illogical and crazy and disrespectful that I was upset from that standpoint. Yeah. But I wasn't like feeling that. I wasn't really hurt. Even though I was like, I know I should be. I just like have it have um 50 milligrams of Prozac on my side.
SPEAKER_02Right. My blocking, like my Lexapro blocking everything.
SPEAKER_03Like I just have a shield. Yeah. But I know that you're still like throwing things at me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02What you're doing is still fucked up, and I should be pissed about it.
SPEAKER_03So, yeah, and like I really think I need to go back down to 40.
SPEAKER_02I know, and I need to get on something.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Give me the modern day lobotomy, man. Like, fucking. Well, love you guys so fucking much.
SPEAKER_03Please, we're gonna continue on Patreon. I'm gonna talk about Lena Dunham.
