Welcome To Nothing Untouched

SPEAKER_00 0:01

Hey besties, you're listening to Nothing Untouched, the podcast where we overshare, laugh a lot, and talk dating, hookups, and heartbreak. And all the messy moments in between. Hi, I'm Ivy Noor. And I'm Scarlett May. Buckle up, besties. Nothing is off limits.

Season Finale And Listener Love

SPEAKER_01 0:31

Hey besties. How are we doing? Hey, welcome back, everyone. I hope that everybody had a great week. And um guess what?

SPEAKER_00 0:40

Tell me. This is a season finale. A fucking season goddamn finale. Season finale. Well, I mean, we did a lot just from season one. And we covered so much. We did.

SPEAKER_01 0:53

And we experienced so much of each other, of ever, you know, other people and experiences, places. And you know what? Season two is even going to be better.

SPEAKER_00 1:03

Yeah, we've learned a lot about the podcasting world altogether. So it's just a learn, it was a learning lesson, and I can't wait for season two.

SPEAKER_01 1:13

First and foremost, though, I mean, as I said in the very beginning, like I'm just so lucky to actually have someone to do this with because again, it's been something that's been on the back burner for many, many years for me. And to actually be able to sit down and make a small dream come true. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:33

No matter how you know little minuscule it is, it doesn't matter if we had one listener, two thousand listeners. Exactly. We're still gonna do this.

SPEAKER_01 1:41

And it's therapy for us. I appreciate everyone that has been tuning in. Oh, absolutely. And giving feedback. We've gotten some really great feedback. We've not really, I mean, and I'm all about constructive criticism. So I mean, I'm always for the okay, but you love us, but like what else can we do? Yeah, what else do you see that you why are you not following us?

SPEAKER_00 2:07

Yeah, not only that, but just from like season one to now. I mean, we have grown so much in this time frame. So fucking I mean, if you go back, I have several times. I go back to the season one and season two or uh episode one, I'm sorry, Besties, and then all the other episodes. We have changed drastically and we're oh my god, it's more comfortable with that each other. More comfortable, yes, than the first episode.

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Well, and way more comfortable in front of the mics, exactly, yeah. So there's there's a huge thing where you don't have necessarily like an audience in front of you, but you know that somebody's gonna be tuning in and listening, and so that's always kind of like nerve-wracking. Yeah, yes, for sure, for sure. And so we were for sure more reserved, but then you know, episode two, three, you know, so on and so forth, like we definitely came out of our comfort zone. And I just had a new follower, new listener this past week. It's a friend of mine and Quincy, and they said that we are hilarious. I I we have gotten a lot of that.

SPEAKER_00 3:12

I know at the very beginning it was a little bit of feedback about the mic, the the sound, the the breaks, you know, because we were we were learning editing, we were learning like how to you know come together. Absolutely, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:28

I mean, as one does, yeah, you know, you don't just pop out a podcast because you know you're amazing, but well, it takes really okay. Well, yeah, it counts all the time. Yes, it didn't take us all the time though. No, I mean, and so and that's what I hear all the time is is our banter, it it never skips a beat, like you know. So, I mean, it's amazing. So I'm super excited to see what season two brings.

SPEAKER_00 3:56

It'll bring a lot, baby. It it'll become an atcha.

Six Week Break And Career Crossroads

SPEAKER_00 4:00

Yeah, we did decide though, Bessie's, we're gonna take a six-week break. Yeah, because it's summer, yeah, and Ivy has something to share.

SPEAKER_01 4:09

So drum roll, please.

SPEAKER_00 4:14

I'm terrible at that.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

I don't even know how to do it.

SPEAKER_00 4:15

I I can't roll my tongue on Camba can do it if I can't do anything but go.

SPEAKER_01 4:21

No, I have a new career opportunity that I'm going to possibly take. Very possibly. It's a it's a huge, huge possibility take. Well, my job, as we've already said, is the role of several people. And and again, I I love what I do. I I do I fucking love what I do, and I might get emotional, so I do apologize, but yeah, I I could never in a million years see myself where I'm at today, being in the position that I'm at and making a difference in people's lives. I never picture myself in this position. And I never knew how well I would drive. How, you know what I mean? How I'd be, you know, so good at it. So I I, you know what? I there were some things that happened recently and just was not okay. I'm not okay with it. I'm not okay with fingers at me.

SPEAKER_00 5:23

Yeah. And nobody should have to leave their job every day and worry what they didn't do. Correct. I mean, nobody should have to feel like that because then the you bring it home. Yes. And it reflects in the life you have with your children, the life you have outside of work. I feel the same way sometimes, and I so I get you. Yeah. So because it is, it's like you bring it home and it's like a fuck.

SPEAKER_01 5:46

As I mentioned though to you earlier, Scarlett, like I was so happy in my position six literally six months ago. I know I was reflecting last night. You were, you know, you were happy, you were thriving, you loved your like I was literally just loving life. And then fast forward to literally last night, I had a mental breakdown and just one of many. Anyways, and so you know, obviously what's changed is there's just been too much bestowed upon me. 110%. I am only one fucking person. You know, I feel like I'm I I'm okay with failing. I'm not okay with drowning. There's there's a huge difference with failure. You can learn. There's sure I can learn from this experience, never to do it again. Stay tuned. We'll definitely let you know one way or another, you know, whether it be posted on Facebook or whatever we do.

SPEAKER_00 6:40

We're still gonna be on socials and on our email. Well, we'll still be around. Oh, absolutely. I'm gonna be we're we'll be sharing stuff all the time. Oh, 100%. We don't wanna, and then you know, if we have something major, we don't want any of you guys to miss out on like absolutely not. If I get a boyfriend, actually, yeah, get in a relationship. If I get in a relationship or I don't know, I mean that that would be a big one.

SPEAKER_01 7:02

I would be, yeah, we might absolutely might have to be like, let's let's there's nothing in the future, Besties. Don't you worry. But we do have plans though to rent a cabin out in the woods and do all that. Sounded really weird. Why?

SPEAKER_00 7:18

You're like, we have plans to run a cabin out in the woods. We be wooden.

SPEAKER_01 7:25

No, it just I need to touch grass like so desperately right now. I truly do.

SPEAKER_00 7:30

I'm so glad the weather has been cooperating. It has changed my mood somewhat, you know, and it makes a big difference. I do have something major to share with the god, let's go.

Meet Asher The New Kitten

SPEAKER_00 7:41

I have a kitten and I adopted him from this shelter. What is that? And he is the most wonderful thing. His name is Asher. My daughter picked the name. And he is so he's so floofy. He is got a he's a ball of energy. He's got a big personality. Yeah, and he's a lover. He he purrs on me. He sleeps slept with my daughter. I mean, he just he's I I don't even know why I was trying for a cat that was costing me money because this kitten is just the love. He loves just because again, it needs adoptions where it's at girl.

SPEAKER_01 8:17

I know it is and besties. If you can, if you're in a place to adopt, do it, go to your local shelters and just see what's out there because I mean they need loves, they do bad.

SPEAKER_00 8:28

And I was a little particular on like the cat I wanted and sure, because this is my cat, this is gonna be my cat for forever. And I just wanted the right one. And I know Ivy's like, well, this is your story. You tell it you want, but I feel like he picked us when we went, and he just like was trying to like go over all the other kittens and like get in the way so they didn't have they couldn't shine. He's like, get out of there. This is my family. My bag. This is my bag here. He he was he he was just I could tell he just loved attention, and I'm like, oh, that that's probably for us.

SPEAKER_01 9:08

Listen, I'm just so glad that you guys finally found you know the love that you guys needed for Charles for a baby because it has been a long time coming.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

Yeah, I mean, I've gone through a lot with this. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:20

So I'm glad that you know your dreams came true. He's here and he's precious, and yeah, yeah, he's pretty much and he fits so perfectly. He's the king of the house for real.

SPEAKER_00 9:29

Yeah, we will be ruling everything we do and say, and like I'll be like, well, let me check with Asher. Do you want to go out and have some fun? I don't know. Let me see what Asher's doing. Let me see if Asher's okay to stay by himself. He might need some extra attention tonight. I didn't know. I don't know how he feels. I mean, I can't I can't get off the couch because he's laying on me. So I have to be here for seven hours. Yeah, probably not gonna happen tonight.

SPEAKER_01 9:58

So I will just kind of lead off with that. Yeah,

Job Options And Feeling Valued

SPEAKER_01 10:01

so the career change. Well, it's not really a career change, it's kind of like just a venturing of the same career. But you know, with that being said, I also had another career opportunity, which is nice that you're getting this like opportunities coming your way because then you feel like, yeah, I'm valued somewhere else.

SPEAKER_00 10:20

Exactly. And they're gonna appreciate the value I put into a company. You can, yeah, exactly. Go back to my resume.

SPEAKER_01 10:25

Go back to the very first one, exactly. And go back and oh boy, well, no, no, no. Go back like the resume that I gave to you for you to hire me for this position. Go back to that and see why you hired me for this position and see why. That's actually a if you if you've forgotten, because obviously you have, go back to that and you see, you know, my value, my worth. Because obviously, you clearly don't know why. But I mean, I don't know. So the other opportunity that I have been given is to sell in life and health insurance. I was like, get out of there.

SPEAKER_00 10:58

I just hate that. I don't like having to make cold calls. And you I wouldn't have to. Oh, okay. Well, I just don't like I I'm in marketing and sales right now, and I actually enjoy what I'm selling, but I could not sell insurance. I couldn't, I just couldn't do it. I don't know. Here's my thing though.

SPEAKER_01 11:16

I don't I'm so passionate about insurance anymore because it's it's engulfed my life because of what I do do right now. Yeah, they give you these leads, which is nice. Yeah, so you're not out there bugging your family and your friends.

SPEAKER_00 11:30

Yeah, I know, but I do feel like those positions, they uh they upsell it and it's possibly it's way harder than what they're telling you.

SPEAKER_01 11:39

Selling is hard regardless.

SPEAKER_00 11:40

Yeah, I was in sales for 10 years. Yeah, selling is hard. But I think they're making it look like it's fucking a piece of cake, yeah, and you get into it and it's actually really hard. Yeah, I would rather you not not I have a choice in your life, yeah. I I I would I would see you at the other position way more than this that one. I think you would be doing the same things kind of close and you'd be valued. Yeah. So I I do think that it's a good good opportunity for you. Absolutely. Even though I'm leaving me, I know, but I get it. I'm not leaving you, yeah. No, it'll just be I I'll just have a lot to bitch about all the time. Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

And and and I think that will also help. You know what I mean? It'll help us here on the pod because we'll have different stories and things that we can relate to, but then like it's different gossip, yeah, yeah. Because mine's in a different state, and you know, so it'll it'll it'll be interesting for sure. Sure will, yeah. Uh so I should just take it for that, you know?

SPEAKER_00 12:42

Yeah, yeah. Just for just for fucking material. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:48

Why did you take this position?

SPEAKER_00 12:50

Well, I have a podcast and I gotta have different material. I can't have the same material as Scarlet.

SPEAKER_01 12:55

Yeah, like this is dumb. No, so yeah, I don't know. I I have a lot to think about. Yeah, because there's just there's there's a lot going on right now, but I think I'm gonna I'm anyways, yeah. My decision will be told season two, so stay tuned. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:14

It it'll definitely cliffhanger. I know. That's a good cliffhanger. Yes, yes, yes.

Loneliness Meltdown And Finding Light

SPEAKER_00 13:21

Okay, so I did want to share one other thing that I was proud of this week. Well, actually, I have two things to share. One's good, one's bad. One day I came home and I I don't want to cry, but one day I came home and I just lost it.

SPEAKER_01 13:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:35

Like I don't like doing that. Yeah, but I just felt so alone and like it's just like yeah. This was before Asher, by the way. Yeah, thank God for Azure. I know, but I mean my kids are always here and I love them dearly, but I just felt so by myself and I it's all on me. Yeah. And I it it I literally I broke down. Yeah. And I haven't felt like that in a long time because there's so many positives in my life to be proud of and to do. That's why I don't think about like what's going on, you know, I don't try not to make it weigh on me, but it was I just was like, oh man, this is not good. So what did you do to get over that hump then? Well, one it and I call it a God moment because you know, I had a friend stop over and she didn't know I was in tears or anything, but you know, it it helped. So she's like randomly stopped by. Yeah, she needs something. Okay, she needs like lift it up, yeah. And that's exactly what happened. And not saying that I'm like out of my funk at all, yeah, but that I I'm I'm looking more towards the positive. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:49

Well, you're we always golly, we are so fucking hard on ourselves. We truly are, yeah. We especially, I don't know. I'm sure that everybody is like this. But Scarlett and I, I feel like we I can only say this because we are we we deal with each other daily and we're like in so many ways. We're we communicate but not communicate, and we stay kind of like apart but not apart, and I think it's for a reason. And I think it's because like we feed off of each other sometimes and not always negative, you know. No, oh my gosh, our stories we've told. It's like when you're going through hard times, I feel like I'm going through hard times too. And so I think that's when we kind of like just kind of stay apart from each other because we don't want to bring each other down, yeah. And so I never want that, by the way. So you can always always lean on me. But going back to we're just our fucking worst critics. We are so so definitely we are so so hard on ourselves. And I can assess I'm just got done venting about it, you know.

SPEAKER_00 15:55

Like I just like you, yeah, no. I so that was like just like a a moment, and then the next day I had a really great moment.

Leadership Class Win And Community Impact

SPEAKER_00 16:07

I've been in this class for nine months that I had this opportunity to be in, and I love, love, loved it in so many ways. Of course, there was things that I was a challenge. Yeah, it was, I'll tell you, Besties, it was a leadership class, and I just felt like it, the challenges were great. I learned so much. And we had a graduation this week, and it just felt great to accomplish it, be done. And Scarlett graduated yesterday. And I met the most amazing people, and along with that, too, is like we had to are we had a class project we had to do and we had to pick a charity or where we're gonna donate, how we're gonna improve the community. And we chose something, and then we planned a a big event. We made a buttload of money, and it was just like I felt so accomplished, and I think everybody in the class felt so accomplished because we made so much difference in like the money we we raised. That's amazing. Yeah, it it was phenomenal, it was a good feeling. And then the graduation, I was telling Ivy this earlier, and I'm not gonna cry, but there there was a moment like where everybody shared some class compliments about each other. Yeah. And my classmate said the most nicest thing. I'm only crying in a good way. That's okay, yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 17:28

Crying because it it really resonated with me. But the thing of it is though, too, and it's just like an outsider looking into for sure, like and seeing that somebody else can see how amazing and beautiful you are, not just from the outside, but also the inside. Like it's it's huge, you know. So, and and being able to being validated. Oh, God, yeah. I just like it is an amazing thing.

SPEAKER_00 17:52

It definitely changed, and it's something that you for sure needed. Yeah, so it definitely changed my like the day before I had a break, uh meltdown, and then that, and then I just felt uplifted, yeah, completely uplifted. Yeah, and so that was just the best one, you know, that was the worst best, and it just made my week. And so, I mean, I'm not gonna I'm gonna have bad days always, and but I'm gonna have those good ones that bring it back, yeah, absolutely. You know, and she's gonna make me cry, but I know I know so it was hard like not to like be a big fat ball baby because I cried because of good, I cried because of bad, because it's funny. I cry for so many ways from me.

SPEAKER_01 18:31

Well, and you guys have been in this for nine months together. Yeah, you had a baby, yeah, you know, yeah, you bore you you guys carried this together, this weight, this time, the energy, the everything.

SPEAKER_00 18:44

Oh, yeah. We were in constant communication because of the the the project we did and the the the task we had before us. I mean, we were it was a lot, and but I'm so thankful for it because it's done so much for me in so many ways. But I won't keep going on and on about it. I just want to like share that because I was, you know, I was just surprised of the things that was said about me.

SPEAKER_01 19:08

It's always so amazing to see what other people actually see you as unspoken. Oh, most likely. I don't see myself as anything. And it's yeah, exactly. And and so it's nice when when you don't realize, you know, what people are actually thinking about you because let's just face it, like especially nowadays, like for whatever reason, like compliments just are not non-existent, yeah. No, you know, you always hear the bad, you never hear the good. Yeah, and that's that's hard to sit with, you know. And I'm a you're a positive person. Yeah, you're you're trying to be one of the most positive people that I've ever met in my life. No, truly. No, truly, yeah, absolutely. And so, and I definitely have, you know, I that's when you manifest things and you manifest the positivity, that's what you need to come to you, and then you know, dealt like just throwing away that negative energy. And so when people that you least expect just reach out to you and grab onto you and say just very kind things about you, like it's just it's it, it it hits you in the heart strings, definitely hit me. I mean, but you deserve it, and I'm happy that happened, thank you, and I'm proud of you. Yeah, and she got this really cool. I'm gonna start crying. She got this really cool fucking plaque. I I had to miss it yesterday. It's okay. Um, I know, but it just sucks that I had to because because of work.

SPEAKER_00 20:39

Yeah, well, of course, yeah. So and I was just thankful that the job I'm in let me let me do this as work because it it brought so much value in what I do, yeah. And there's so many things. I I don't know. Anyways, I don't want to keep going on about it because we have a a season finale.

How The Podcast Changed Us

SPEAKER_00 20:59

Let us uh dry our fucking tears.

SPEAKER_01 21:01

Oh my gosh. Anyways, yeah, season finale, fucking episode 15. We've come a long fucking ways, besties. So, what we're gonna do is we're just gonna do a fucking fun episode, a recap, and Scarlett's got some amazing points wrote down. Do you know I'm prepared?

SPEAKER_00 21:21

I do want to ask you though, like from episode one to now, how do you feel like we've changed, we've grown, we've not grown negatives, positives. What what are your thoughts? Loaded question. So And it was a big one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:39

Roll my sleeves here. So as far as episode one to now, um, number one, the comfortability, obviously. I mean, just we barely knew each other.

SPEAKER_00 21:52

Uh well, I mean Well, no, we didn't. I mean, we've learned a lot through this process for sure.

SPEAKER_01 21:58

Well, for sure. What we have to realize like Episode one, we were literally just getting to know each other. True. True. So from you know that episode, we were clearly not as comfortable in front of the mic and and things like that. To now we're just like, fuck it, whatever. We say what we want, we do what we want, and exactly what this pod was meant to do. Exactly. So I'm there's that. As far I don't negative wise, you know, we've seen we've seen some really bad shit in each other. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:31

Oh god, yeah. I mean, no one's fucking perfect. And yeah, no, the everybody has like the things they're they're demons. Yeah, I've said before. I I know I fucking do. Yep. 110%. So yeah, we've grown from that. Oh yeah. We have. There's so many fucking great times we've had together that we're just like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_01 22:52

And then that's where I was going to like the positive though, like all the great memories that we've made up until this moment, like is just and we've shared along the way. Absolutely. It's almost like a whirlwind, yeah. Kind of thing. Cause it's just like, oh my gosh, because we have done so much in a short amount of time.

SPEAKER_00 23:09

Yeah, for real. And it's been great.

SPEAKER_01 23:11

And we've shared a lot.

SPEAKER_00 23:12

Like, I mean, normal friends wouldn't share like these things about each other.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

The one moment, honestly, I'm gonna be quite honest with you. The one moment I wish I could go back in time and just relive just for a short time was during that band that we went to. I just want to go back, like I want to teleport and go back to that moment. Oh, okay, yeah. Because I might just want to like put myself in. Oh my gosh, I had so much fun. I was a sweaty hot mess at the end.

SPEAKER_00 23:41

Oh god. And I was in a bodysuit.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

I nice body. Thank you, Scarlet. But I have never listened the both bands were amazing. Oh yeah. And I have never been so interactive with a band like that for many, many, many, many moods. I mean, but to have that experience with you and some of your friends, you know. Absolutely. So it just it was kind of like a I don't even know how to say it. Like it was just a very nostalgic but like new experience for me. And I just I loved it.

SPEAKER_00 24:17

We I think we just knew how much fun we could fucking have together. Yeah. And like how common our what we like, we I we both love bands. Yes. And we love to dance. Yes. And yeah, so I think that was just our commonality and the fact that we love wine and the fact that we like we like dick. No, stop it. So I mean, those are just a few things. So yeah, no, when I think of it, I just think of exactly how you have expressed it as well. Like we've gone through so much, we've shared so much, and it's just been really, really great. And this every week we do this, it's been therapy for me. And I am totally guilty about going back to the episodes and listening and just like thinking about what I've shared and laughing at myself, laughing my fucking ass off. I'm like, girl, Ivy, you gotta go. I can't wait to share this episode because we're hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 25:23

Yeah, and and going into that, like we've heard that so much. Like how funny we are. And again, besties, thank you so much for for bringing in on your comments and your your love.

SPEAKER_00 25:35

Um, let's go off

Favorite Episodes And Running Jokes

SPEAKER_00 25:37

of that. Let's tell me what your favorite episode is. Did you write it down? No, I didn't. We've just we've just it was okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:44

So it was the one with the breakups and the no, no, no, no, no. It was the date like our first dates. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Golly, holy smokes. Hold tight, hold tight.

SPEAKER_00 25:59

So I will share mine while you're doing that. So one of the ones that I find us the most hilarious is the one where I we talk, it's called it go back to toxic traits, the sequel you never wanted. The title says it all. Yeah, but during that episode, we shared like I the the fire department was here. We talked about the cops, you know. I mean, it was so funny. I was like, we're hilarious. I mean, we're not patting ourselves on the back by any. This is just us being positive, like we have to think positive to get positivity sometimes. Absolutely. So, and then so that that episode, I felt like we were just on point because there's some some that like one of us may not be into it as the other, or we we the day that we had, and then we re we record it might not be like the day that we truly wanted to, but we had to get you know, we worked we worked on it. So that has been a challenge for us too is finding time, absolutely and making sure you guys got an episode every week and no regrets there. Absolutely no regrets. We I I love no regrets, I love it. I love you guys listening and I love getting those episodes out because I can't wait for the downloads.

SPEAKER_01 27:20

No, and that's definitely you know, you want us you want to talk about like the struggles and stuff like that. Like at first we were we were spot on. Well, not spot on, but I mean we were in sync, sure. I mean, I I don't know, I don't know how to say it, but like there were just you know, there's gonna be hiccups, unfortunately, because life happens, and you know, just trying to under understand each other and be there for each other and just know that we are here as a team and not against each other. Oh, yeah, for real. But sometimes, you know, emotions get involved and things get kidding me. I just fucking cried.

SPEAKER_00 27:59

And and we're female, so you know so we take everything and fucking snowball it and make drama and you look like a hate me. Let's make it more dramatic than what it has to be because that's our life sometimes.

SPEAKER_01 28:14

Yeah, but no, no, I I love that episode too. You know, to be honest with you, there is, I don't think there is a single episode that I hate. No, I don't either, but there is definitely ones that are more catching, absolutely dislike. I definitely dislike the first episode.

SPEAKER_00 28:30

Yeah, and we were we weren't and as funny as we were now, we were very kind of mouse monotone monotone, very mouse-like, like well, not little, we took ourselves too fucking serious. Yeah, that's what happened. So, and we were just learning the mic situation, so that was one of our shortest episodes, too. It was, oh yeah, I think it was like 34 minutes. There was another one that was pretty short.

SPEAKER_01 28:56

Well, the episode recently, but no, I just finally came upon my favorite episode was the do you really need an A plus to get laid? This was not but you do, uh, you do need an A to get laid.

SPEAKER_00 29:09

Yes, we did that. Is a positive there, yeah, a fact.

SPEAKER_01 29:13

Yeah, that that 100, and it's still going on. So thank you, A plus guy. And I actually ran into A plus Guy.

SPEAKER_00 29:20

Oh boy, here we go.

SPEAKER_01 29:22

So there is that.

SPEAKER_00 29:23

I was a I I it wasn't random though.

SPEAKER_01 29:27

Well, but to me it was random because unbeknownst to me, I had no clue. So what had happened, what had happened was me and Scarlet went out, made some candles, and we got kind of shitty. Shoopsy doopsy. Uh let's say we had too much. We didn't uh but anyways, we had fun, at least I can remember. Um my god, came back. I passed out on the couch, don't remember literally anything, and about two o'clock in the morning, I woke up and my eye and my thumb was killing me. So I was trying to get to the bathroom to see what was going on with my life.

SPEAKER_00 30:08

Yeah. And you were probably scared to look in the mirror. You're like, oh, I did not look in the mirror.

SPEAKER_01 30:15

Did not, did not. So as I was trying to go to the bathroom, this fucking tall ass man got in my way, and he's like, Oh, you need to go to the bathroom. And I'm like, who uh anyways, I didn't even have the energy, the ways that I mean, so anyway, so I went to the bathroom, lay back on the couch, and and yeah, so I I ran, I literally ran in to the A plus A. Yeah, no clue that I was going to do that.

SPEAKER_00 30:43

So that was a good thing. No, exactly. And his side was like, you you come to the bathroom and you were trying to get in, and he was like try washing his hands, and it was so funny. I was like, oh my gosh, I I wonder if she remembers it, but you do kind of, but you don't remember what he looks like, you know.

SPEAKER_01 31:00

I mean, I I remember a shadow figure that was tall, that's what I remember. Yeah, so let's just say I had company when I said thank god I was actually passed out and don't remember a lick of it because anyways, yeah. So that was interesting, but yeah, so the the that episode was definitely one of my favorites just because just going through like all of you know the worst dates that you've had, the things that you went through, like that was just so funny. Yeah, it was it was just it was it was a it was a funny episode, and so you need to go back and listen to episode let me get my glasses on and I don't have them on it. Seven episode seven episode seven best episodes go back and listen to them.

SPEAKER_00 31:44

I mean, go back and listen to them all, but yeah. Oh, absolutely, from one until now, and you'll see what we're talking about. You will see the changes we're exactly saying 100%, and you will see like the the good, the bad, the ugly. You'll see it all.

Professional Worries And The Podcast Leak

SPEAKER_00 31:57

You'll see so uh along with that, do you have any like regrets about something you shared?

SPEAKER_01 32:03

No, good, no, absolutely not. I don't tip I don't tend to be a regretting person, yeah. So no, I I don't regret any of it.

SPEAKER_00 32:14

I the only thing I was concerned about is like the the reaction I would get because this is truly me and how I talk, but I am in a career I can't talk like this. Yeah, I can't I can't be and but this is truly how I am in person and the kind of what I say about like my dating life and stuff. Yeah, this is actually the me. But of course, and like you have to present professionalism, yeah, and me talking about dicks and cocks and you know, pH levels isn't professional.

SPEAKER_01 32:50

I mean, I wouldn't say that would be a regret though, it'd be like more of like a worry. A worry, yeah. A worry because like we don't know how people are gonna perceive it.

SPEAKER_00 32:59

And again, well, nobody knows probably like she a trash bag, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:05

Well, our book club, you know, it got leaked that we are doing a podcast. Yeah, accidentally we did it fine. And it actually ended up being great, a good thing because they love us, and so I mean that's that's it's it's everything happens for a reason, uh-huh, as cliche as that is, but it really does. And so it just it brings us all together even more so. So I'm glad that it actually got leaked and it did, and I hope that you book club ladies are enjoying this.

SPEAKER_00 33:34

Uh-huh. Yeah, no, we truly enjoy it. We can't wait to see you next month. I know. Have you started the book? Nope. Can you guys hear Asher? He's a meowing. He wants attention. Yeah, so anyway, on we'll talk about the book next month. How about that? Yeah. We can do that. All right.

Season Two Goals Guests And Your Stories

SPEAKER_00 33:55

So what do you want to change before next season? What do you want to like between here and then what do you want to present, accomplish, share?

SPEAKER_01 34:09

Yeah. So I mean, all great questions, but the the main thing that I want to see change is obviously uh more of a following.

SPEAKER_00 34:19

Of course. I mean, that's what we're yeah, that's what we're here for. I mean, we're not here for that technically, but we're like, we want that, of course. That's gonna like make us feel good and make we're make us feel like people are out there like understanding us and like resignating with us.

SPEAKER_01 34:37

Interesting in what we have to say.

SPEAKER_00 34:38

Yeah. But what was the other uh thing that you had asked?

SPEAKER_01 34:42

Well, how we you want to improve and how improvement for sure is gonna be just figuring out different marketing techniques and things like that to capture our audiences and whatnot. Um, I mean, obviously we're amazing. Come on, Abby, listen to us. Um, but yeah, uh different marketing strategies and figuring out that that realm of the world because we're not we don't become famous overnight, just yeah, and we don't become thousand downloads overnight or you know, a 10,000 or whatever. Consistency is key.

SPEAKER_00 35:20

Yeah, exactly. So I think once we come back, we're gonna have like a different outlook and you know, just a fresh. We're we'll be fresh and like, and I won't see you every day at work, and we'll just be like, how do we act around each other? Who are you? Yes, no, I I know that next season is going to be great. Oh, it's gonna be yeah, and I have so much more to share. Yeah, I mean, I was thinking the other day, I was like, oh boy, I forgot I gotta share that. I mean, what episode would that be on? Because uh, and I have I I've gone through so much with the dating fucking shit. And when I listen back, I'm like, oh my god, like I haven't shared too much positive about what's happening with my dating life. So, and I'm still off the apps, I'm not like I after that last one, it was like, oh God, what more do can I happen to me?

SPEAKER_01 36:19

So, one episode that I will say to the besties, because it will definitely have to be one, but embarrassing moments during sex.

SPEAKER_00 36:29

Holy shit, yeah. Okay, that is a cliffhanger. Yep, I got like a couple of those. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 36:34

So hang tight idea. Hang on to your butt cheeks because I got a couple of them too. I'm sure everybody's good to stay associated. I'm writing it down, besties. You know, I I'm a I'm a swing by your pants kind of girl. I just truly am. I'm really good at feeding off of other people's energy and just going with it. We never we we pre kind of pre-plan the episode, so maybe like not, and here's the thing too. I don't even know if like extra pre-planning the episode would be even okay because I like the energy that we bring to.

SPEAKER_00 37:15

Yeah, because I literally say save it for the pop. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 37:18

And so when we just like bring it to it and then like talk to each other, and then like things like pop up, like during you know, while we're talking to each other. Oh, yeah. I don't need to look at a script, I don't need to, you know, we literally feel just so everybody understands this. I mean, it's true. We watched me in the moment, it it is in the moment. That's why we're getting a cabin in the woods. We look at each other and we just feed off of each other's stories. That's it. That's that's literally how it works, and it's so beautiful and I love that. But the other thing that I would love to see happen is people write in sharing stories so we can share them too, and then we can, you know, again, we don't it can be anonymous, you don't have to tell who you are.

SPEAKER_00 38:06

Well, and I know people have worse dating stories than what we put. Oh my gosh, I know people have all kinds of stories out there. I mean, the golden retriever to them. Yeah, I mean the golden retriever thing was a lot, but like that was one of my favorites. I know, right? That one was, I would say that was one of the most humiliating seasons or episode seven last seasons to say that. Yeah, yeah. And it was one of those humili, like after I re-listened, I'm like, God, I'm such a loser. Well, kind of, but it's okay.

SPEAKER_01 38:38

I mean, what do I have to endure? I don't know that you're a loser. I think that you just have such a big heart. I'm a people playther, exactly, and you don't know how to to exit a situation that you're not okay with. No, absolutely. Oh, you need to ride your golf tournament? Okay. Oh, I'm really mad at you right now, but I guess I'll take you. Yeah. Anyways, so shit.

SPEAKER_00 39:03

Oh, God. Made a promise. Okay, yeah. No, that was one of those ones where I'm like, ew, what is wrong with me? There's nothing wrong with me. No, I know. It's just one of those things where like, you're just I could take go back in time. Dress me thinking. Would you change that? Yes. Oh, yes. I would have, I I would have like saw the the red flags that were happening at dinner. Would you though? I don't say that. Like, would you? Because I don't think that you would love you, but I just yeah, no, probably not. I probably would have still been like, you know what's gonna happen, Scarlet. You know the ending of this, but you're you're still gonna stay. I mean, those gold retrievers are still gonna lick the shit out of you. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 39:52

I love it though. I do, yeah. Oh my gosh, those were definitely the oh shit. Lord Hummer. And just to think, the stories that are to come. Oh god. You know what I mean? I mean, so yeah, no, us being gone for six weeks, there's going to be so much. Oh, yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_00 40:08

I mean, it's just the start of summer. It's our hot girl summer. Oh summer. Okay, I'm gonna start saying that. It's my hot girl summer. Let's go. It's tits. Let's start. It's the tits. Oh, my friend will appreciate us saying that. She's like, make sure to say it's the tits. Okay, so what is there's gotta be something else on that little listy over there. Oh, yeah. Well, some of them we've kind of already uncovered. What okay, so I think we kind of already talked about this, but what was the story that you felt like sharing was either resonated with somebody or helped you in some way, or you just laughed your shit off because of sharing it. Oh gosh, that's that's a lot. I know, right? I I I have to I have to say like 13 questions in one question. What do you want from me? I have to like start that. I have to start phrase everything. You start this one. So I was really excited to share, you know, the things that we've repeat, this is this is what makes my day. Yeah is when we share a story and we repeat something somebody says in that fucking story. I mean, when we shared the like nice bodysuit, and we've like kept it going through all the episodes. And that's just been one of those moments where we're like, we know what we're gonna look at each other like and the get out of there, yeah, kind of thing. And I love sharing that story too because it was just like I had to share it because I I like I told you, Bessies, I literally lay in bed and like think about like the the the crotch maneuver in this chick's face. I mean, it gives me it gives me so many things and it brings back a lot, and I loved sharing it because even though no, we loved hearing it for sure. Get out of there! Get out and we've kept repeating those lines.

SPEAKER_01 42:13

That is one of my favorite, and it's like spot on too when we went, yeah, yeah, I love those cues and we just get each other, uh-huh. Yeah, we not all the time, but most of the time. Yeah, no, for me.

SPEAKER_00 42:23

I mean, there's that the best story you shared, or resonated you felt like with the audience, or something like that made a difference to you, me, ever anybody, anybody.

Abuse Survival And Why Leaving Is Hard

SPEAKER_01 42:34

So I think that going back to I I I don't know if that was in season seven. I think it was, or season episode seven, where I talked about the abusive relationship. Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, you know, and so I I definitely am glad that I shared that part of me because like I definitely think I know, I don't even think I know that there is too many women and men out there that you know, unfortunately endeavor the same. Yeah, don't know how, don't how know how to move on. Don't know how to move on, anything like that, you know. And and actually, you know, going back to that, it just kind of like hits in my brain a little bit. But my friends always tell me, you know, we always look up to you because you're so strong and you know how to move on. The thing is, a lot of people don't know though, is I I don't feel strong. And I don't, yeah, oh my gosh, then I'm gonna start crying. I know I don't I don't feel strong in those moments.

SPEAKER_00 43:34

Even you're putting out there that the persona that exactly, yeah, because you're you're like a tough shell to crack. And then I feel like that's that makes you who you are. But inside you're just like, what the fuck? What's happening? Yep, yeah, I get that.

SPEAKER_01 43:49

I I definitely have a hard exterior. You'll never know what's actually going on inside unless you're super close to me. But I protected that way for a reason. And so Yeah. So if I can help somebody else out there that goes through tough times and and bullshit that they have to, and if I can share those stories, because I have unfortunately a couple more, but yeah, you know, if if I can share those times and and those reasons and those whys, then you know, I'm all here for it. And and just so you know, like I the one thing that irritates me the most is when somebody sits there and says, Well, just leave.

SPEAKER_00 44:26

Oh god, no. Who nobody you you have no idea. I you have no idea. Okay, so we can say that because we're outsiders, and I mean, this is what I went through too. We can say that because we're not involved in it. Yeah. Oh, well, he's great. Why would you want to leave him? Or like like things like that.

SPEAKER_01 44:49

And it's or if he is not great and you're going through all this, yeah, then just leave. It's not that fucking easy. It's not that easy. It's never been that fucking easy. Unfortunately, if it was that easy, don't you think that I would have done it?

SPEAKER_00 45:00

Oh, absolutely. Why do you think that I'm here? I mean, if you guys thought it was easy for me to leave the cold retriever, you're fucking crazy. So yeah, okay. Yes, no, I get you completely. Like the everybody looking outside it doesn't see what's going on in, you know. 110. And I I definitely feel like you sharing that in the fact that you couldn't, it was an easy move. It was a process, and it took a lot.

SPEAKER_01 45:30

And you're scared. Yeah, you're fucking scared. You're scared, and you especially, you know, you you don't ever know what the next move is going to be. Yeah, and you nobody will ever. And they're really good at saying the next day, the next, you know, week. It's it's always better for a while. Fucking asher.

SPEAKER_00 45:49

I know he's eating some. He is starving. I think I think he needs like a he wants a treat.

SPEAKER_01 45:54

Get out of there.

unknown 45:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 45:58

But you know, you just you hear they there's so people that are like that, that are abusive, that are mini manipulative, they're so good at telling you what you want to hear. Oh, absolutely. And they play off of your faults and your fears. 110%.

SPEAKER_00 46:17

And the fact that you they know like it, the fact that you want to leave and feel like you don't have that, that you don't have that bravery. You're not, yeah, you you can't. And like when you do have that baver brave art. Oh my god, what did I say? I said bravery. What did I say? We need to change that word to what is it? That gumption, no, I don't know. That's a that challenge is anyways.

SPEAKER_01 46:41

The one thing that you have to have, but anyways, they'll they'll chase your ass. It's a control thing. Oh yeah. And once they feel that they're out of control, especially with you, they will spiral and you'll go right along with them. Oh yeah. So, anyways, so that's definitely something that I'm definitely glad and I'm proud that I shared. That's very hard for me to do. It was, yeah. Imagine. So, anyways, yeah. So, what about you? What was one thing that you are proud that you shared or was hard for you to share, or whatever?

Vulnerability Without Judgment

SPEAKER_00 47:14

Um, so it I know we laugh about it like all the time because I keep I bring it up because I laugh at myself because if I don't laugh at myself, no, no one else is going to cry. No one else is going to. But I laugh, I'm gonna cry. So, like the this I don't regret sharing, but because I think there's so many people going through it on the dating apps. So I don't regret sharing it, but I also it it has me sharing it turn me off from it. Yeah, you know, that I'm not regretting anything I shared because the fucking half the shit, I mean, I went through a lot and but it's funny and I have content.

SPEAKER_01 47:53

Um too, I'm proud of you for sharing it, and I'm proud of you for because and sitting at it, right? And and and making yourself go back and like think about it. And yeah, therapy. Yeah, this is our therapy, girl.

SPEAKER_00 48:08

If yeah, if I didn't tell you and this and Bessie's out there, I would sit and stew. I mean, I would tell my my close friends, but I honestly I don't some of my the things I've shared on here my closest people are like, What? Yeah, what did you do? Why did you do that? Why didn't you leave? I mean, they were just flabbergasted that I I that's truly what happened. I probably was embarrassed about it, so I didn't share. And so when I shared it to all of you guys, I laughed at my fucking self because I I mean it's just like it's laugh-worthy half the shit. And you know what?

SPEAKER_01 48:46

I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna speak volumes on this because you know what? No matter what you go through, no matter what I go through, no matter what we share against each other or about each other, sure, we never judge. Oh, yeah. No, I'll laugh at you and I'll poke at you. Yeah, but I'm and I expect that. Um, no, the one thing that I value most, like I said, was or is that we can share whatever it is amongst each other. Number one, it doesn't leave. I mean, obviously we're sharing with our besties. I mean, it sounds weird, but I mean, it never leaves outside of this, of these walls, yeah. And we never judge each other because of it. And I value that so much because safety is key to me, you know, to be able to feel comfortable enough to share these stories and and and outlet, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, and be vulnerable to tell the bestie.

SPEAKER_00 49:42

See, that's funny because I be like when you tell a story, I'm like, God, I fucking got worse or you know, we we most definitely have something else to like, well, okay, well, I'm not judging you on that because I'm a loser for this or not, loser, but yeah, I'm I've done this and you know, these type of things.

SPEAKER_01 50:01

So I guess it's a beautiful thing that we we get to have that to each other.

SPEAKER_00 50:06

So I and I wouldn't judge anybody for the things they do. Well, I mean, I may laugh or like you said, poke fun because it's fucking funny at the time.

SPEAKER_01 50:14

Well, they can be uncomfortable at times, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, come on. Like really, like fucking letting a goddamn golden retriever two of them. Not what not just one, but two of them. Like the shit out of you.

SPEAKER_00 50:25

Yeah. So I mean, those things I sh, you know, yeah, you know, I should uh probably think, oh god. But no, I'm so happy I did because I really wanted so many people to be like, oh no, you went through that, but guess what? Yeah, this this uh pit bull tried to eat me.

SPEAKER_01 50:46

I had a possum.

unknown 50:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 50:53

I mean, it's just so I had a rat eat my feet. I mean, yeah, but we want to know. Tell us what happened, what rat ate your feet? Tell us if you're missing some toes from rat rat consumption.

SPEAKER_01 51:06

We need to know.

SPEAKER_00 51:07

We need to know these things, but okay, so what is there anything else that we should hone in on before we yeah, I kind of this it's not on here because I'm just going off the cuff. Oh, you're okay.

SPEAKER_01 51:21

That's what they're saying. I'll cuff.

SPEAKER_00 51:25

The tents.

SPEAKER_01 51:28

Oh my, she's gonna be thrilled. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_00 51:33

Okay. Like, what what do you feel like you express that you laugh at the most like in this whole process? Like, for I know we've kind of talked about stories and stuff, yeah, but like in the sense, like, what do you feel like is the funniest about us?

SPEAKER_01 51:50

Oh fuck. Golly. I hear.

SPEAKER_00 51:55

I'm all about just putting you on the spot, spot idea.

SPEAKER_01 51:58

I wanna say what's funniest about us is just the moment, just being in the moment and literally just and that's just it. I think that's what's funniest is like we never know what's gonna come out of each other's mouth. God no. I am so sorry. Golly, I don't know what is happening.

SPEAKER_00 52:15

Let me just as you said, it's not scripted, and we come up with the episodes like as they like an hour before sometimes.

SPEAKER_01 52:24

I mean, this is what we do, and and it's in the moment, and I think that's what's best, yeah. And so, and and just hearing each other's stories and feeding off of that, and just I don't know, we're just I don't know, we're amazing, so we're just automatically super funny people. So I just don't I don't know how to explain that. We're just always funny, guys. God, I don't know. We're fucking savvy as a fucking chits. We do have them, by the way. Yeah, anyways. No, I mean I I just I thoroughly enjoy like the banter, the uh the whatever.

SPEAKER_00 53:03

I mean, so it's it's so funny to like the the the comments that we we give each other on it just teasing.

SPEAKER_01 53:11

My my favorite part though is honestly like listening before it posts and like listening in to see like what exactly we said before because I mean you don't remember everything, no obviously, and so like listening back to that and then just like reliving those moments where like oh my god, that is fucking funny. It is. I that's what I said. Like, oh my gosh. So I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 53:32

I mean, I'm so ridiculous sometimes. I will like be laughing so hard at what we're saying.

SPEAKER_01 53:37

It's like what the fuck is going on right now? But yeah, it's it's good times, and and no matter where it leads or where it doesn't lead, sometimes like it, we're we're just we're there for it. Yeah, I think that's beautiful.

SPEAKER_00 53:50

Yeah, and it is, and this was a passion that we both wanted. Exactly. And as we mentioned, it came through tuition and the fact that we both we're we're go getters, yeah. And we have that that great thing about both of us is that we're not just gonna like talk about it, we're gonna fucking do it. We're gonna do it. That's the way it goes. And I'm glad we we just did it, and it just uh it's just been great this whole season.

SPEAKER_01 54:15

And and like where you lack, I come in, where I lack, you come in. We just we we really compliment each other. Yes, most definitely. That's a very hard thing to to find. Yes. So yes, I mean, yes, but
