They share real challenges, like unreliable housing and the stress of urban living in Los Angeles, to ground their story in authenticity. Ultimately, they celebrate not just their personal growth, but the collective journey of their community.

And like genuinely, let's just not forget, like we really started like in a humble, literally with our heads down humble, like we thought like our friends were going to listen and to like even be sitting here by the end of the year is absolutely like, it is like so fucking bananas. Like I haven't even processed like half of the year because it has been so go go, but just like at the end of the day, at the end of the day, I was going to say the year, see, because at the end of the year, at the end of the year, the year going on.

So two episodes away from 100 out of 100. It's just like dude, it's just like so crazy. And like yes, we had hopes and we had dreams. But like we've really exceeded all of our expectations. And like at the end of the day, like the greatest joy just comes from like literally like this right here. This right here, that right there, this all the way right here. You know what I mean? And it's like to have you guys here and like supporting and like hanging out. And like oh my god, like girl who cried. And then like if y'all went to the live show, it's like I genuinely cry after every single one y'all know I'd be crying. But like it's just like so real guys. It's just been so real. And like this year has been like absolutely crazy. And like anything on top of like literally us in Dom's apartment. It's just been like cream phrase, bro. It's just like a lot of damn cream phrase. >> It's just like so much. >> Like a bump a caviar. >> No, 100%. >> Like it's really been like so special. And like so many just out of this world opportunities. Like today we were on the Marty Supreme Plays. >> Yeah, like we like what the fuck are we talking about? It's just like crazy. >> It's just like so crazy. Like I feel like we have just gotten so many like amazing experiences. And like so many doors and opportunities have been like open to us. And like it's just because of you guys. And like just know that we like we never take it for granted. We never take this for granted. And like we never will like this space is so sacred to us. And like we'll always do what we will to protect it. Like we just love you guys so much. And we feel we're just we really are like today when we're in the Marty Blimp. I was like we're just like the luckiest girls in the world. >> Not 100%. I literally was like what the fuck are we even talking about? And like I feel like that's the thing where it's like. Just as part of the reflection of it. I guess it's just like we keep saying the same thing over and over. But like we really like it's us and it's y'all. We yes it's all been like so nice. And it's been so much and so many new opportunities. And like all those things like yes they afford. There's so many awesome opportunities and things like that. But at the end of the day like we were just so like. We were just having so much fun like king. >> Yeah. >> And like y'all know if you've been here since jump. Like even when like even when our first clip like hit the fucking bus now. We were lucky like wait what the fuck like it sounds silly. Like in hindsight as we're literally sitting like in the Chateau TMG studios and like being on the Marty Blimp and stuff. But like genuinely like this alone is like all that matters. >> It's literally all that matters. And like yeah it's just like nothing else. It's just like damn. >> It's just everything else is like literally like a lot of crime fresh this year. >> Like literally just like so much. And it's fucking rocks. Like it's only rocks and like touring with so much fun. And like we just like had so many incredible experiences. But just like to understand I feel like the gratitude that we have. It's like guys we would have been fun with just this. >> It's truly like immeasurable and like just even like our friends. Like Mickey, Vanilla, Brian, like Kai, Noelle, like just everyone K. >> Every made along the way, Tanner. >> Tanner, like every single person with like just all our friends who have like come on the show, supported us. And like just really made this year so special. It's just like I feel so similar to you where I feel like I try and like take two seconds. And I'm sure Sap you feel the same too. Like just try and take two seconds to even begin to think about one of the things that has happened this year. >> Yeah. >> Just even like one. Like we went to Mexico City with Ag. >> I know, I really like can't do it. >> I can't do it, I keep trying. >> I think, well I think what's going to have to happen is we're taking like a break because A, you know what I mean like always. Arguably like this year we had too many goddamn slides. We were excited though. You know we were just excited. There were so many damn slides and so we tried to eat all of them at once. So like we are taking a break in the grand history of like everyone who's come before us who like they tell you to take time for yourself. And it's like yes, I will do that like sometime. >> Yeah. >> We're actually taking time with that. I think I'm genuinely going to hit like a 48 hour meditation and like actually ball my eyes out. Because I feel like every time I actually think about this year, I'm literally like guys like cut the cameras like. >> No, cut the cameras in also too. I mean like when we say we're taking a break, you guys will still have episodes. >> Yeah, y'all, y'all in the break right now. >> Y'all in the break, we're on the break. >> I know you know one thing about us, we're going to show up every week. >> Yeah. >> With No T. >> We've never we've never missed the episode. >> We really have it. >> And there were a couple times when if Bidget could have really gave that. >> Hey listen. >> It really could have gave that. >> It could have gave a whole month. >> And saying that like no shade to anyone who like you know takes breaks. >> We take breaks or acting and I'm actually like. >> Whoa. >> Yeah I'm more like hey fuck it, take the break. >> Yeah. >> Just saying that like damn now that I think about it like we really yeah like we really. >> Yeah it's just like we every week. >> That's what we said. >> Rainer shine. >> You will get enough. >> Right, right 100%. >> But yeah I feel like anytime I try and reflect or just even look at like. One piece of this year. Like one piece of it I can't even like. >> My brain can't even. >> My brain can't wrap it up. >> Can't even begin to process it. >> Yeah 100%. >> Like at all and we've done so much fun shit bro. >> Yeah I mean all of this is so much fun and it's like. >> I just feel like literally the luckiest girl in the world. Like I really can't even believe it. >> It just feels like so lucky and like. It's just so special like I don't know I think about even the fact that like people find us like relatable. >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean because like I think you know like growing up and just like not seeing myself represented and like media and stuff and like just and like yeah looks sure. But like even just like how we talk and like who we are and like being like funny and. >> And like you know like big we love a bit like you know what I mean like just even that and like cultivating a space where so many people like relate to that is like so special too like. I don't know it's just like it's just the coolest thing in the world and like we always say like anytime one of you guys come up to us it's like the most affirming thing. >> Yeah it really is it's crazy because it's just like I mean obviously I don't know you guys on a personal level but it just feels like I'm I was like yeah like you know it's going to be tea for real yeah and I feel like it it always just lends itself for me it comes back to this feeling of like we are like not special people you know what I mean like this whole experience has been absolutely crazy we've had a lot of special experiences and like I guess I mean we're not special in the sense like hey everybody's special you know so I guess we're not special in that way but like I guess I say that because it's like you guys all have a space like we've said it a million times and like I'm like try not to cry when I'm saying this challenge because like I don't know like I'm literally like guys I'm just like 14 but like I'm 26 you know what I mean it's like I just think like all of this is like as much of a testament to like what you you guys can all do as it is to what we can do. - 100%. - We aren't some special people. We don't have this special sauce. I mean, I know that it feels like that, 'cause I'm a consumer too. I'll be on the internet. And you know what, you got something. - You got something. - I was like, I'll be like, wait, love you. Y'all know, shout out, ball in the beautiful, and I don't know, unless you're a massacre, which that's a whole thing. But what I was gonna say is this all is the ways that you guys see us and the ways that you affirm us and hold us up are all things that I just hope can be reflected back to you. We are not some just fucking gem in the mind. We are simply like, y'all, you know, and I feel like you are the same as you guys. So like, we're just the mirror of you guys. - Yeah, we're just the mirror. And I think that's sometimes what's like so overwhelming is I feel similar to you where it's like, we are not, well, specifically us. You know, I don't know where everybody looked like, but it's just like, I don't know where everybody looked like. Sound like to what you know what I mean. But we definitely are. We're serving intersectionality real quick. - We're serving. - An intersectionality real quick. We're serving like, okay, like. - We're serving like whatever that fucking mean. And it's just like, it's like, just put a bunch of shit together. I don't know. Randomize a real. And it's like, we love and like. - It really sims randomize it. - Yeah, literally. And I'm not even just saying that about like our looks or anything, but I just mean like, we are just, like our vibe just kind of like, hey, whatever that fucking mean. Like, I don't know and like, - Hey, y'all rock with it. - No, and y'all rock with it. And I'm just like, hey, we rock with y'all. Like, I just hope that everyone can like, see us and understand and genuinely, you can start all the way from jump type shit. Like, you can literally like, run it back right now and see like, when we genuinely had like a seed and like two homies who are like, hey, we listen. Like, you can see all of that. And it's been like, insanely fast growth. Like in a way that's like actually very like fucking crazy and to be processed in a later time. But like, I just hope y'all see yourselves in us. - I hope, I hope you guys do and like, and help you invest in yourself the same way. - Yeah. - Or not invest. That's like, that's like stock broad word. But I just hope that you guys like, see this and it's like, I just know that it's there for you too. - It is and like, you know, like when we started, like, we literally, like even just when it came to like, okay, like this month, we're gonna find Mike's. Like, and we got literally-- - Yeah, literally. - We got a little parlay in. - Yeah, let's get some fun. - Oh my god, like our first parlay that like, they didn't even pay half, like never forgot. - No, like, I mean, like, even like, we're like, okay, we're gonna get a little mic. We're gonna, my I think Jesus already had a camera. - Right, yeah. - You feel, we filmed an episode on our phone like, - Yeah. - I just think that like, especially today, you know what I mean? And I mean, like, sitting here, especially with like, the fucking bust-down bundle of lives. - Yeah. - You can literally see us in like, 4k now. - Yeah. - One before, you can see us in like-- - No, it was eight. - Eight hundred. - And it's no shade. Like, so we just had a vibe, you know. I was saying we were worried about all that other shade, like for a-- - Like, 1800. - No, like, actually, well, a little less than that, really. - 1080. - Literally, like-- - Like, I'll give it 360 on again. - No. - Yeah. - Totally like, 260. - Yeah. - But like, you know, like, I think that's like, another thing that I'm really proud of and like, something that I've done different that actually really worked in my benefit from every other project. Like, I've ever done, 'cause like, I mean, Savon and I have been working together for like, so long now and like, as you guys know, I've been doing social media for like a while now. And like, I think this is the first time I ever did something. And like, I mean, it's really you, Maya. Like, you were, you were the person though, I will say. It's like, you just had the strategy of like, we're just gonna let it do what it do what it do. And like, I don't know, I think there is such a big pressure, especially online, like, you know what I mean? Like, you're up against like, it feels like a lot of juggernauts, you know? Like, hey, someone who's been in the game for a long time or be someone who has means, you know what I mean? Like, time, resources, like, financial, like, support to like make things happen. And, you know, like, I think that it really is something that I do like to really highlight and like, drive home. It's like, when I tell you what it would literally give, like, we're recording this and then like, Maya's about to go clock in for her shift. And like, you know what I mean? Like, I would be like, okay, like, honestly, I'm not really taking brand deals right now. Like, I'm not really like all my social grind. Like, I'm kind of just on like, the pod grind and like, there were times where we were just like, all right, hey, hey. Are you slim right now? Yeah, I know, we live in the men. And it's the skeleton crew. Yeah. And we got it and like, yeah, you know what I mean? And I mean like, no, what it really fucking was. It was, and it was literally just us and Sav-- Yeah. Sweet Jesus. Y'all wanna talk about what-- It was literally like, Savanna, Savanna, Savanna. Savanna, thank you. Like, get you out the wall because girl, like, we owe everything to you. We owe everything, really. And you know what? Let's go ahead and talk about that. No, no, no. It's just like, I know y'all see us and y'all see the fucking Kiki-Ku-Ku-Ku-Ka-- Yeah, y'all see the Kiki-Ku-Ku-Ku. Like, y'all see the Kiki-Ku-Ku. They're ain't no Kiki-Ku-Ku without Savanna. No, 100%. I'm letting y'all motherfuckers know that, right? 100%. Goddamn, now they're ain't-- Girl, we are nothing but product of the wizard. Like, actually, no, actually. Because what it really gave is like, it's gives like, you know that meme where it's like stepping into a new year. Like, we're the bimbo lady. Like, literally, like, cut diva bimbo diva. But, like, Sav, you're literally the shoes, type shit. Like, it's like, we didn't have you, baby. We ain't taking notes at all. No, you're literally the shoes in the back of the money. Like, all the children are like-- No, like, literally. Like, I'm like, girl, we just like, you know. Yeah. You know, we did as much-- we did best as we could for as long as we could type shoes. And I mean, like, again, we were literally running it, like, for the first time, and this is not like-- I think it's just, again, like, proof that you can do something. However you want to do it. Yeah, 100%. And I think it's like really rare to see that now. Like, it's really rare to see things that aren't, like, overproduced or, like, you know, a lot of hands are in it. Or, like, you're trying to satisfy a demographic or, like, speak to, like, a group of people. And, like, for us, it was just, like, we just kind of, like, did this, you know? And I think that's-- you know, I just want to, like, again, like, highlight that and, like, really drive that home because there is that pressure. I felt that pressure. And I-- and literally, you were the one who told me, bro, you were just, like, no. Like, there's no. You know what's so funny is, maybe I've said this before? I don't really know. But I wanted to have segments on the podcast. Because I thought, like, it would do so well. Like, I'm, like, I mean, we kind of compromised with the neighborhood wall. Yeah, we did. But, like, I was like, OK, this is what we're going to do. We're going to have, like, we're talking about this. Yeah, never forget about this. We'll do this. And we'll, like, do what's happening in pop culture. Yeah. And then we'll be, like, OK, this is something that we want to touch on. And it was, like, segmented out. That's, like, our other reality. Yeah. And I remember telling Maya-- and Maya just goes, I don't-- we don't need to do that. Because I mean, you know, I mean, we talked about the time, too. But, like, I'm glad that I was a little more stubborn in that moment, like, I know I'd be stubborn with that shit. But I did-- I don't know. I just-- I really believed it was a couple things. It was, like, one, which I think could be, like, a bigger thing, too, is, like, don't ever do no shit that like. Don't ever do anything that feels outside of what you would already do and expect it to not feel like work. Like, that, like, is, like, y'all know I literally-- I mean, we've said these things a million times. But, like, that's just, like, not how I was raised. Like, especially, like, being raised in ballet, but they were literally, like, I hope you love this shit, because you ain't making no fucking money. And so, like, I had that. Like, I came to the table with that mentality of, like, well, we know the most fun we have is when we just let it fucking rip. Yeah. And, like, we know that, like, you know, to the point of us even having this idea, like, we literally would talk for two fucking hours straight. We literally would talk more than that. So it was like, what? Like, it was genuinely, like, you know, I got to that thing where I was, like, I think that, like, specifically for me too, because it's like, you know, it was completely, like, totally out of my comfort zone at the time. It was like, the only way y'all gonna get me to sit here is if shit literally feel like I got my shoes off, you know what I'm saying, like. And that's the thing too, it's like, I just even that. And, you know, I think, like, I was so conditioned, like, at the time to, like, because, you know, I don't know. That's the other thing with social media too. And, like, the internet and online. - Girl, like, no, I see it. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Where I, like, I'm literally, like, do I need to post, like, a real, like, I don't know, like, I'm scared. - I'm scared. I'm scared. - And, like, coming from literally the school of, like, the house of influencer, like, I just was so, like, thinking about metrics, I was thinking about, like, okay, if it does well, then, whatever. And, I was so, but I was also so exhausted by it. Like, and, like, the podcast was, like, it was kind of, like, my Hail Mary. Like, it was, like, it was, like, it was my Hail Mary in the sense of, like, A, if it works. - A. - Yaga, like, literally, like, literally, like, fucking, like, Yaga, like, one, two, one, two, three, release up. - Like, release them, yeah. - Like, I'm released from the shackles of, like, having to, I just felt like I was on the hamster wheel of content. And, like, it's hard, 'cause it's, like, I think, specifically, for, like, what I was doing, like, the beauty and lifestyle, like, - Yeah. - I'll fake it, get ready with me. Be gorgeous, like, you know, and it's just, like, it's a fucking hamster wheel. And, like, the real T is, you know, like, everyone's beautiful. Everyone's gorgeous. Like, the people who relate with your content or whatever are gonna relate with it. And, it's like, you know, like, there's enough room for everyone, and that is true. - Yeah, true. - You don't have to be number one to have a seat at the table. [BLANK_AUDIO] true and I proved that theory right for many years. But with that being said, I was just so like, damn, can I just like literally like have my legs open like and just fucking, but like literally and just vibe, yeah, like, you know, so with that being said, it was just like kind of this like really nice payoff of like, we took a risk, we scaled back, and we just like had our heads down for like a year and like now, oh my gosh, in a crazy way. And now I feel like this year, we've kind of like seen like the fruit of year one. Yeah. And then it's just like, you know, we lay shit down and like, we're about to see the fruit of year three. So when I'm like, that's shit, but like, I'm genuinely like spending all my time outside next year. Like, um, like, I'm about to be posting from my desktop. That's my, that's my New Year's resolution bus down. We'll see how long it lasts, but you know, supposed from your desktop. Yeah, like, I'm trying to like delete like shit from my phone so that it gives like two thousands like at home computer time realness where I'm not just like doing it. Wait, you should get the, um, what's that brand? Nothing. The what? The like nothing headphones. Have you seen that? No. I think it's called nothing. I'm just like trying to serve like dedicated time to being online. I think that's a brand. Yeah. Okay. Okay, but they have a phone. Oh, really? And it's like a unplugged ass phone. Like, it has like maps. And like, it has like maps and a few other things. And like, the phone's like, it's unpluggy. Okay, love. There it is. Well, because I'm just like, if I just like delete an Instagram and take talk, like, I would honestly be free. Yeah, there it goes. Like, and it's no shade or tea. But you have like music on it. You have like everything. It's really cute. Super cute. Yeah, there's quite a few, like brands like this, like getting into like minimal phones, but not let's wake that up. Yeah, like, because for a long time, I want, I will still want a razor. Uh, but I guess like these new iPhones don't have a, like a physical sim. So you can't just, I wouldn't really switch between. Yeah, I did know, not that you said. Yeah. No, 100%. No, and that's the hard part. It's like, you got to figure some shit out, you know, yeah, because they make it impossible. No, I think I think you would like that. Because have you heard of the brick before? Yeah, I have heard of the brick. Okay, because see, here's my tea. Let me, let me maybe give you a five minute pitch. Shout out JC Marie. Um, so there's like this thing called a brick. And like, it's a physical brick and you like, yeah, but it's your phone, whatever. And it locked you out of the app. And the only way it can be unlocked is if you have the brick, but the thing is, like I was saying, like at night, I want to put the brick in, like, leave it in my car. Yeah. Cause I'm who you fucking think if I'm in bed, I'm going out to my car. Yeah. I'm brick my phone. No, in the realness of that. It's just like, damn, you know what I mean? But hey, like your shit, bricked up, shit, bricked up, bro. I'm like, I'm off that shit right. That's a good resolution. That's a really good question. I'm going to give it a shot because I mean, the shit really is like addiction realness, you know, like right now I have my apps hidden. So at least I have to like think about it. But like even still, I'd be like, let me on that shit. And it's like for what, though, yeah. I just can't, I just can't after that take talk about memory. Like that shit really, like, actually before and after my shit, like I'm literally like, I want to remember things. Like less memory. Yeah, I was talking about, well, but really hit me was the idea that like memories become less like colorful. Like your day to day life becomes a little more like mundane because your brain, like just because like our dopamine sensors are so fucked up that it's like before, like going out, it's like going out somewhere, like going to a party or like even like go into the gym or something like used to be like fierce dopamine receptors because it really would give like, wow, I did something. But like now because we get so much dopamine, like your brain will like scale back on things that aren't like super like as fuck like Coco my line. Yeah. So I'm like damn, like shit, be feeling like that fucking Squidward thing. And it's like, that's fucked up because we do so much fun shit. Like not to say all of our memories are dull or anything. It's not what I'm saying either, but I do think there could be more like presents for sure. Yeah. Well, and that's a hard thing too. I mean, it's such like a fine line. Yeah, no totally. Where it's like you do get all these cool experiences, but you do feel the obligation to like share them. Like online. Yeah. So it's like this hard like, it's a hard line to walk. It's just like, you've been awarded these opportunities because of like how much we share and like how much you know, we are like share with you guys. And we want to share with you guys. Of course. But no, I definitely think there's like moments. I feel like the thing that I want to get better at is just like, I've been really struggling. Okay. Okay. So maybe she's struggling. She's been struggling. And that's okay. But I feel like I've been really struggling with like staying like late places. Like I feel like I keep doing this thing. We're like, I'll show up. Do a power hour and leave. And serve. That's okay though. But I don't like that. Like I do want to serve like I'm here to stay realness. Yeah. It's just hard. Well, what do you think like? Okay. Then yeah. And maybe we get to the root of the exhaustion first then or something. I don't know. I just like, and maybe it's because it's like maybe because it's dark out and like it's winter still. Well, yeah. I mean, that's like because you know me and Summer, I'd be like, I would know. No, for sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. Where are we going now? I'm like, yeah. Sometimes. Yeah. No. And then I'm like, yeah, it's still 11.30. Yeah. And I'm the same. So I'm like, bitch, I'm like, shit, I don't fucking know. But I mean, yeah. Like I do miss, I do miss like the 4 AM Kiki. Like is that turning? Is that turning 27? You don't do that anymore? I mean, well, you better hurry up, bitch, before everyone else got shot because you know, we still got a couple of friends. We'll hit you with that. No, I won't that's a thing. I want to do a 4 AM Kiki. Bye. You could do it. You got to guess I guess you just got to play in an advance. That's the part that's 27. Right. Right. You know, spontaneous shit. Well, that's what we have. He fucked up as I'm like, I got to get up tomorrow. The fucked out part is if I do a 4 AM Kiki is going to take four days or we know exactly. Well, if it's a cute little, you know, I'm saying like, oh no. It's giving what would have to happen is I would have to go to bed. Yeah. Wake up at like 11 or 12. Yeah, because you get up early too. So it's like, well, and that's the real problem. Yeah. Is I hit no matter what? Like my internal clock is 7 AM. Also, your room gets like so much light that it's like, I don't know how far, like that's mean. When I genuinely, I left my window open this fucking much this morning. I was up at 6 AM. No, it and that's why I have to keep my windows open. Because if not, I was sleeping in someone's bed who had fucking blackout curtain. Bitch, when I bitch, when I be at my fucker's houses with blackouts, I'm like, you know what? You don't give a fuck. Bitch, that was the first time I woke up to an alarm and I can tell you I literally was in that bitch. Like, don't. Well, because what's fucked up about it too, is that the actual waking up is so much harder. I couldn't. And not only shit. Oh, literally, I literally was in their bed like, drool on my fucking face. You should get a blackout curtain and get the sun riser combo. Well, get the sun to start shining about 9.30. You feel me? Well, the real tea is I'm like, don't even give me no night. Cause you know what? When we were on tour, uh-huh. And we had the shades down. Guys, tour was like, oh my god. Party like a rock. Party like a rock. Bitch, tour was like, bitch, tour, have he like, no, that's what it was like. I don't know who we thought we were either talking about three day, but I wake up dry. I'm a little boy and I'm a little boy. Cause no, right. Cause I have no. And it's just like in like a, like in a zoomed out, we're all one sense. I'm like, what were we thinking? What were we collective? We collectively. Well, I know what we were thinking though. I know we were thinking about. Yeah. We were thinking about jaw and we were thinking West Coast, best coast like shit. So how the coast together. So it was like, whatever, bitch. That shit literally is like auto. I had me sleeping with my mouth open. It's like how to bitch with like the fucking blackout shades on my eyes and the back seat like dammit. It's like fucked up. It was serious. That different bed shit. Maybe like, oh my god. Oh no. What in hell? That was a locked up thing about getting a little older. I'm not even that old, y'all. I'm literally 27. I'm pretty young. Well, but also you get older, but you have had a cast person. So you were like 24, which is like different. That's like some different shit. Because it's different. Dude, the cast person. That ain't fair. Well, and that's my voodoo clam. You want to talk about my voodoo clam? It's literally the cast per king. That's why I don't sit on your bed no more. Because I'm literally like, if y'all pull up on me and get in my bedding and now I have, okay, Buffy, let's talk. Like, let's get in the stew. What happened about Buff? No, I'm like the best sheets ever. I've bought in three three sets now from Miss Buffalo. And like, not to make everything about me, but it's just like, you see how I can't even buy a new bed because I don't know where I'm going to live. You feel me? Guys, can I just conclude this year? Because let me tell you something, actually. Can I tell you all one thing? And I'm like, let me time myself three minutes. Rule number one, words build worlds.

Okay, so literally he like the dryer it mind you for me. It just gives like not to be annoying. I've never been a landlord. I don't fucking know The dryer broke a shit guys. It's broke a shit. Can I say it? He's come in. He's try to fix a three-god damn times and it's just like here's the thing about the fixing of the dryers Something appears to think I have a good guy who actually what it doesn't matter why I think it's beyond I would argue because the second time He came he literally had that shit fuck it mask off like the other half was on the floor and he was vacuuming the fuck out The inside and like hitting it so I was like mind you and again this contractor He gonna roll his goddamn if he can't do it 880 yeah, like it's like if he looks can't fix it if he can't fix it.

It's up because he used to like knock on our door and be like okay girls like you know I'm gonna try to come back whatever Okay, so I walk out to get me a cup of water God forbid and the shit literally sitting there with the front busted open Busted open and a note that says I'll be back tomorrow around noon It's like it's not even meant for you, but I'm about to like open the door and punch him in the face You know what I'm saying because it's just like guys at some point When is my landlord gonna stop acting like he don't own 25 properties across LA that he don't take care of so it's like and Get a new dryer get a new dryer and get your fucking like and that's a thing with like I feel like places that like Miss managed like the funds of it all because it's like you know, yes Okay, we're not gonna even like dig too deep here because you know Because it's really it's crap. It's crap business right there. Yeah, like we need you after you're done with New York Like let us know like LMK because it's like the landlord of it all Fine not fine, but like whatever. I never dealt with none like this. Like you wear guys Like literally and then that's why it's just like it's hard because it's like Okay, then you go to adaptive reality and like you're just like a machine in the fucking cog and it's not privately owned Yeah, like you know like they they can literally make it go up 20% the next year and Ain't shit. You can do about it like they honestly got me so fucked up Then I'm like if at least I have a dryer late. It's like That's the trade-off too. It's like you go with like a big like someone like adaptive reality We're like right they own literally hundreds of everything. Yeah, they literally like what don't they own like even the vintage shit that they own is like Under them because yes guys if you were moving to Los Angeles, California like I seriously cannot and you know what I'm not gonna tell you what to do like have your own experiences and maybe you will get very lucky I would just say that like that vintage charming shit like it's so canceled like Is it charming? Yes, that's how I got into this place. I literally walked in and I was like this is so cutesy gorge I guess I would just say that if you're gonna go vintage charming like There are much more criteria that we need to hit Is your does your landlord want to take a polygraph? Does your landlord know your address? Yeah, like genuinely it gives like Does your landlord like have a designated property manager who's gonna help you when shit hits the fan and like because it's all about the trade-off You know what I mean? Yeah, cuz it's like with our place like obviously love her. Yeah, but on the flip side There's a lot of shit that like I personally like invested into the place. Yeah, yeah, you really did make it tea like AC washer dryer like the bones were good. Yeah, but like there's a lot of things that like my landlord love her sweet freaking lady Like really really sweet girl and like Have no qualms with her at all. It's just like you know Is his vintage like it's how I told her and if I loved my landlord, I would invest you but like genuinely he told us we complain too much So I'm like, you know what I don't know what to say. I mean his shit's like Ghetto is fuck too because it's like you know like For example kitchen sink broken texts in our property manager She has a plumber like he already out the house like doing his one two and like it's gonna get fixed and like if through it's like there's one of There's a leak and the roof. Yeah, and um, but she got the roof fixed last year So it's like obviously something wasn't right with that But like instantly taking care of it and I just think that like it's you know She's owned those places for so long. Yeah, she cares about who lives there. Yeah, exactly and I and that's what it comes down to is like You know what like okay, maybe it's not perfect and maybe she's you know like we like our fridge white like yeah You know, but she does give a fuck if like we can actually use the apartment or not Yeah, 100% and like if we were to move out she wants it to be in like living like living conditions Yeah, just like make sure that's a thing. Yeah, and like yeah, and I mean like and and that's I guess like kind of I had been so done like mm-hmm because when I had first moved to LA I Lived at Park La Brea for so long. Yeah, like probably like to treat you three years, and I was like, you know If you lived out Park La Brea everywhere. Hey, I don't know what quadrant you were in. I don't know What's your what your faction is? Yeah, I don't know like what your tea is and and Every experience is so different. Yeah totally. I lived in three different apartments in Park La Brea And like I had like the sky rise. I had like right the fucking the the squalor house Yeah, I have like girl. You name it. I lived in it and Like then after I moved to Silver Lake and like It was tea, but the parking situation Virtual Viz. Yeah, I was like yeah, I was in like Virgil Village, but before it was like there was an air wall in there So it was like right, I mean it was like it was tea like there was a lot of tea stuff It was also during the pandemic, but like yeah, you know rent was like chill vibes, but like that It was just like not habitable. Yeah, we're having people over parking with like a fucking nightmare Yeah, and I just was like I got to get out of here like I can't even like it's just I it's a not worth like Yeah, the smoke because like I think there's so many cute places especially in Virgil Village, you know like if you're okay It was not having parking. Well, that's the thing about LA though in some ways it makes it like fair I guess is like the trade-off is like right there. Yeah, it really gives like What do you want to pay for? Yeah, well as a crown the market I'm like damn, I guess I want to pay for everything like genuinely and I mean and that's the thing now It's like I don't live in like you know Ideally, it would be nice to live like on the east side, but like now I live like in the middle of Yeah, it's super nice and like you know people can come over at as they please. - Yeah. - And like, there's so much parking on my street. - Yeah. - And like, a lot of room, a lot of space. And like, I feel like my biggest thing, that was the highest thing was like, I don't wanna move again. - Oh, that's why I'm literally stressed the fuck out because I'm literally like, girl wherever I go, like, it needs to be at least two tree. - Yeah. - Like, no shade, no tea. - And that's the thing too with like, you know, I was like kind of telling Maya, 'cause like, she's found some bus down places, but like, obviously the price is like fucked up and like-- - Bus down. - Yeah. - Like, okay, okay. - Yeah, and like, I was like saying like, even with our place, like our landlord kind of was just like, all keep this rent, like, dis price, 'cause the price was like, girl. - The price is right. - The price was like, hey. - Yeah, no, seriously. - Like, I was like, do we have like a fucking squatter living upstairs? - No, it's like, what's tea? - Like, come down and like, take my food. Like, I don't know. 'Cause the price was correct, but she was just like, do you wanna necessarily two-year lease? - Yeah. - And honestly, I think it's such a green flag, sometimes, when people want you to sign a longer lease, because it's like, oh, you actually like give a fuck if I like stay and like, who stays here and like, you know what I mean? - No, yeah, like, I literally, guys, like, I tore the bus down and honestly, like, don't even torn at the outside show range. It's just fucked up. It's fucked up. Well, I didn't think it was outside my range and I tore it and I like literally like have like, Capricorn and Torres parents and I was like, okay, fine. Okay, fine. I get it, I get it. But no, it's been like, #real and I literally have to move in the next like month, so it's just kinda like, yeah, have you ever tried to move in a month when two of those weeks is the holidays, like, in a way? - Well, and it's just like, I mean, the way it's just like, it's just like, yeah, it's just like, it's just like sick, but I do think though that like, alignment-wise, like, you're meant to stay in a way. - Yeah, first bitch, I'm not leaving out a way, but that's the thing, it's like alignment-wise, am I allowed to stay in the East? - No, that's my question. - And that's my question. - And that's the thing, it's like, you know, maybe you might have to like, go a mile down? - Yeah, well, yeah. - Maybe a mile away? - I could go three. - I could, right. - Girl, if you go three, you're a fine animal. - Yeah, no, yeah, yeah. No, and it really just gives like, guys, don't ever live in the East side of LA, like genuinely because like, it'll charm your fucking socks off. Like, I don't know what to say. Like, I've been driving around just like, looking at signs out for my girls. Like, who am I supposed to be looking for shit? I've been driving around just like, looking for signs. Well, and that's how I found my first place. So be where, like, user beware type shit. But like, I was driving around and I was like, shit. - She cute, get it. - Like, shit, how me like, hand out the window touching the trees, like, hey, I love you. - She's a real cute girl. - Can I say it? - A real cute girl. - Yeah, she's really cute. But I mean, your area is cute too. I'm just like, it's also been like, three days of looking. - Cool. I mean, like, the tea is too, I, and like, again, like, that's, I would maybe go like, half a mile, like, down, not like, down, but like, down the street. - Yeah. - And that's probably as far as I'd go. - Yeah. - Because then, like-- - 'Cause it gets, that's the thing about LA is it's like, there's a bunch of like, bubbles of city. Like, really like city feeling. And then there's kind of like, little pockets of like, neighborhoods. And I think that's what's hard is it's like, the city. She'll literally be like, right now, 3,000 square feet, new washer, new dryer. Like, literally, guy go high five you every time you come in the house. Like, it's gonna be tea. We'll give you a cat to fuck it, like, a thousand bucks. And it's like, yeah! But then they'll be like, but you can't have a car. And it's like, oh no. And I'm like, damn. - You can't have a car. You can't have friends. Well, I mean, your friends just have to Uber, but-- - Well, maybe ain't nobody Ubering. But it's just like the, 'cause if I was really nasty, like, yes, I would run it, 'cause the city, the units be fucking sickening bitch. Like literally, all of the contiest units I've ever seen. K-town realness. - Well, I'll stay right now. - And even like East Hollywood, like that like Melrose Hill, like East Hollywood. - No parking. - Girl, when literally, with my two D-bars, y'all know who y'all are, when they lived over there, I would just waymo. - Well, and that's the thing, it's like, I'm also noticing, you know what I mean next year, I think one of my big things is I would like to start like centering myself more, like actually, that's like one of my spiritual things. But like, so I know this next thing that I'm about to say might sound like a little hashtag ridiculous if my priority was like myself. But genuinely, like things like that, like, that's like kind of the highest on my list, is like, is she hostable? Like, can people just like pull up? - And yeah, and I feel like that was kind of the nice thing about our neighborhood. And like, my friend who lived there before, we moved in. Like, I remember when she moved in there, and I was just like, oh my god, this is the best. Like, yeah, like you can just pull up. - You can just shake. - Pull up. - There's literally not even, like, you don't even need a permit to park your bed. - Yeah. - Like, literally, like, so easy, it's like, so, like, safe. - Yeah, yeah. - You know, like, it's just like a chill. - It's just chill. - It's just chill. - And honestly, it's like, like, it's safe in the sense we're like, it just dead ass quiet, like, again, the person who had the blackout curtains slept at their house, and they live in fucking West Hollywood. - Yeah. - What, baby, what sleep? - I was gonna say it where, but I'm like, well, no, 'cause y'all know I lived in West Hollywood. I lived on West Hollywood, which is, I was genuinely rice smack dab in between, like, one street that way, West Hollywood, one street up that way, baby, is sunset. Like, you're on Hollywood. You're in Hollywood. - No, literally. - Genuinely when I moved East, I literally was like, oh, like, I remember people would come over, and they'd be like, oh, it's really loud over here. And I'd always be like, what are you talking about? 'Cause that was the first place I'd ever lived. So I was just like, whatever. Girl, now that I'm on the East, I'm literally like, I can hear when my, like, neighbors outside playing, like, music in the car. - I, when I tell you, I was fucking gagged. - No, it's serious. - Like, I was fucking gagged in a crazy way. Like, I was like, this is New York motherfucking city. - Oh, that's what I'm saying. Like, it'd be the bubbles of city, but then mind you, the unit will literally be 3,000 square feet. So it's like, goddamn it. Like, damn it. - Like, goddamn it. - I put my car in the living room, then we can talk. If I put my car in the living room, I'll go right now, like, no, tea. It's no tea, but it's real though. But it's real though. - It's real though. - And, you know what, like, I just think that, like, yeah, it's, no, it's, like, just waiting, just waiting, just waiting. - Well, and, you know, I think there is always, like, a little bit of compromise and stuff on, like, what ends up being, like, what you're willing to die for, type shit? - Yeah, and that's, and that's what I'm learning is it's, like, been very humbling in this sense. Like, I've only ever had roommates, so I've only ever had just, kind of, like, bigger places. Like, just to accommodate everyone with that being, like, living space, shit, like that. Maybe I toward, and it's no shade. Like, I'm not saying this, like, ew, like, it's whatever. I'm saying this more so, like, bitch, that shit had to be, like, like, what the fuck? I toward, like, a 600 square feet bus down, which mind you? - Bless you. - That, and also, sorry, that as well. And, I thought, I'll say this, if you're somebody out there looking, 400, 500, 600, I'm on, like, I'm on that TikTok right now, where the girls literally be turning that into a bus down Bumbleoo bitch. Like, there's, living room, there's the kitchen, there's a library, you know, I'm saying, like, it's whatever. So I'm not even saying, like, size in terms of, like, like, size. I'm saying size in the sense that I've genuinely spent, like, four years in Los Angeles collecting shit, in, like, these three bedroom, like, at least they'll have, like, enough closet space for everyone, I'd be taking up two out of three of the classes. There's no T. I'll admit it, no, I'll admit it, no, we've gotta move out. I'm like, damn, I was looking through, like, I got hellish shit in here, and I'm sorry, and I'm sorry. I toured a 600 square foot mother fucker. 2500 mother fucking bones out my body, bones. Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, so cute, so cute, area so cute appliances, T bitch, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Baby, when I tell you though, like, the realness, and again, I'm not saying this is shade, I'm saying this, like, I got humbled. Well, what do you want? Do you want a couch? Or do you want a dining table? What do you want? You know, name saying, like, the realness of that, where it's like, okay, living on my own, about to give, like, all this shit gotta go. Like, literally, all of this shit has to go. Well, and, and see, that's why, and that's why, with my place, bro, because yo shit, like, well, and that's why, even when rubber, like, literally shit hits the mother fucking face. The ceiling, yeah. And I'm literally looking at the little, like, come here baby, like, come here baby. There's, there's fucking realness. Come here baby, come here baby. No, but I appreciate that, actually. Like, I'm gonna let you know if it really gets like that. You know, we got room for you. No, and I really appreciate that, 'cause that's some realness that you just said. But again, it's just like, not but, and again, it's just like, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff. And, well, and that's the thing. Sometimes I'll be like, ah, maybe let me see, like, what's, like, down the street, you know what I mean? The stuff. And then I look around and see what I've collected the past five fucking years. And then I literally go, N-V-M. Yeah, no, N-V-M, 'cause that is, that is really one of the pros, like, living in kind of, like, a co-opped space, where it's like, is that the word for that co-opped? Where it's like, they do, in fact, give you enough space for three people. Type. And I think I just got lucky that, like, my, I've just always taken up a lot of goddamn space. I'm realizing, like, I'm seeing it. And I'm like, okay, so why all the shit in my closet mind? And this closet is also mine. And then I got my closet in my room. It's just like, what the fuck? No. I'm the same way, like I have my shit like y'all already know. - Yeah, but I'm like, you know, detachment to stuff to you. It's not like I need to keep all of my things, but I'm just like, hey, you know we've been humbled so you've been on Zillow and Los Angeles genuinely 'cause I'm like, right, right, right, right, right, right. - I was thinking about that too though. Like I obviously am like not moving or anything, but I was like, I should do like a big clean out where I go like quadrant through quadrant of the house and I just could be some new year shit. - Yeah, like, oh, I definitely wanna do that. - Go into the new year. - Yeah, well, you know, I've been cleaning up my house. - Right. - And it was like really good. Just donating a bunch of stuff that like we don't need that. - It needed to go though. - Yeah, I probably feel like I'll be, yeah, grow, I don't know. Y'all know, I mean, y'all have been on the front lines, but I'm literally like, what the fuck? - Yeah, it's just like hard. And also, I mean, the thing that I think about the most if I were to ever move, my rule would be it has to fit the couch that I have now. (air whooshing) (laughing) - Alrighty, that couch wouldn't even fit in this room. - No, that couch, okay. But I believe in you. - But that's what I mean. - On some capricorn shit. - That's what I mean. - Well, I know, and that's me too, is I'm like, I literally just had the girls that you? - Yeah, it's like not the right side. - Well, I can't even see in. - Yeah, you can't. - Girl, I don't see no shit. I'll look at it again. - Julia. - No, the truly of it all. But my T2 is again, like, and I think it's just, it just comes down to, maybe I have like the night of a day of like being somebody who is looking for her own place for the first time. So I just like, don't know, dot, dot like that yet. But like, ultimately it's just like, they, like, y'all go and have to come over and we're gonna have to like, play like patty cake. Like, that's all I'm gonna have room for. - Well, the T is, and I'm like, listen, if the bones are good, everything else can like, flow from that. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And like, sometimes you just have to see it with like, the bones. - No, for sure. And it's just giving like, it's giving like, prioritize your shit bitch. Like, you ain't gonna have four clauses to take up a just, I don't even know. Like, photo shit, cleaning shit, like whatever. - Or maybe you do have four closets and like, you can fit the couch that you already have in like all that stuff. - But the walls are brown. - I wouldn't mind if the walls are brown. - And you just have to paint them like daddy did. - Right, I forgot you painted your-- - And maybe the light fixtures are fog. And then you just put a new light fixtures like daddy did. - Right. - And then see. - That's just hard 'cause at that point it's like, not to be Gen Z, 'cause I don't know if I'm ever have a house, but I'm like, me a fuck y'all. - Well, here's the thing, yes, fuck them. Wait. - Yes, fuck them. - Okay. - All right. - Okay. - Both of them. - Like it's just like, it's just like at the same time though, if you're really about to like post up though. - Yeah. - And that's how I felt, like it was just, it was like, it was that crossroads of like, the shit's faggot. The shit that's faggot. And it's either like, I just like, leave it, 'cause it's faggot. Or I just like, throw my own like. - Yeah. - Slay on it. - Yeah, it's easy. - Yeah, it's easy. - Yeah, it's easy to fuck out that place. - But we gonna see, I'ma try to make a deal or something, real quick and see what happens. - All right. Hey, my friend's ready to work. - Yeah, we're gonna see, all for the new year, because winter decided to literally like blow my shit to smithereens, like, I don't know what to say, but it's all in good timing and for some reason, a reason. (laughs) - A reason for this goddamn season. - A reason for this season. - To the damn season. - But like, if you're somebody who's like looking to move in like a major city, just know that I like really see you. Okay. - Okay. - Just never forget the arc and saw her. She was three bedrooms for like $1,000. It's just like, I don't know. - It was like fucking free, bruh. - Yeah. That's really awesome. - That's fucked up. - That was fucked up. - That shit, I mean like-- - I mean, it's the same thing on a bigger scale. - No, and it's also giving the chicks wide open spaces. Like, literally it's like, grow a fuck at run. - Yes, just like, do a cart with a fuck at bro. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Just run it 'cause you can. - No, it actually could. - And like, congratulations to everyone. - Whoa, not like everyone's like, they might have a shotgun or something. - Well, it was a trade off, you know what I mean? Like, I'm not gonna move states to pay $1,000 for like a three-bedroom, but like, just know that I like that. That really gagged me. It did, that people lived like that. - Well, you know what? Yes, it's bad here. Real bad. - It's fierce. - It's fierce. - It's really fierce. The competition is fierce. - Sick Ming. - New York City? - Maybe I didn't say none about it. I'm like this. (laughing) - I'm like this. - Well, and that's the thing. When like, sometimes I think about how much fuckers are, sorry, people out there striving, working towards their people. - Yeah, 100%. - Making shit pop. Are paying out there? - Baby, it's shut the fuck up, money. - It's literally like-- - It's cybal. - It's literally cybal, huh? - Well, I was saying 'cause I literally put a question on my fucking story 'cause I was losing my mind. Yesterday, like, Zillow hyperfixation down. Like, I was literally in flow state between Zillow, Trulia, Facebook Marketplace and apartments.com. And so I put a question on my story. I was just like, "Hey guys, like, seriously, like, who in here live by themselves? And who in here willing to tell me how much they shit is?" 'Cause like, before I literally sign a fucking $4,000 release because I just don't know nothing, y'all need to speak up. All my LA girls, well, and here's the reality. 'Cause honestly, I should screenshot that and like literally that's like a sociology study because here they go, the K-town girls. 1.5, 17 maybe? Okay, I was like, okay. The girl is like, don't live in K-town. 25, 26, 27, okay. My friends in New York, 3.5, 3.74. What the fuck? (laughing) - No. - Y'all make it three times the rent at four? - Bro, literally a bedroom for three. - A bedroom for 3.5? - A studio. A studio bedroom, 3.5, no longer. And here's what has me fucked up about LA. Can I say something? Actually, I don't even want to say it. But let me not even get into the business. - No, it was New York. Like, dead Asprout, I had a friend who had dormant elevator and literally 700 square foot apartment $6,500 a month on souls to live in the city, like in Manhattan, on souls, she's 65. What does she do? - What do you do? - Okay, tight. - No, it's tight. - But she's been doing it. - If y'all see some, they seem a little out the ordinance you know what I'm saying? Like, oh, she, she's like, she, you know, she been on her, she had been like on her grind. - No, I'm sure, I'm sure. I'm just letting y'all know like who's seein' here. If you see something a little walkie, if you see me in a six inch pot for real, I just want everybody to send their peace and love and know that like I found somewhere I really liked, okay? - Can you see me in like 10 Popeyes business for the Popeyes 10 year old. - No, we don't really see me on Mr. Beast YouTube channel. - It's like, like 10 people spend 48 hours in Popeyes to try to get one L.A. apartment. - Like eating 10 Mr. Beast tables for like, re-fucking like nothing, mama, like a place with like, we're a place with laundry and union. Like, I do it, I do it, I do it, I do it. - Grr, I eat 20, fuck. - Grr, I eat, I, at this point I eat 30. After an hour on Zillow Bitch, I don't, bitch, you put me in the, that squid game's bullshit, I'm serious. You put a fucking apartment in the big ass bowl up there, bitch. - I'm in the car all night long, I don't really eat. I'll touch it for a week. If I can get a two bed, like if I can get a two bed one bath like in a patio. - Bitch on. - I don't have to be on that shit. - No. - Mouth openness. - Like I don't give a fuck. 'Cause genuinely I'm on Zillow like, oh y'all don't care. - Y'all don't care? - Never. - And that's why it's not care.com, type shit. - The fuck now, girl, it's not. - They don't give a fuck. I'm also shut out Facebook Marketplace though. Like she always go and come in clutch. - Craigslist. - No, I've been on Craigslist, too, and I already fell for two scams. - Did you go for? (laughs) - And it's no shade, but like I literally saw two places I was like, damn, this should too good to be true. - It was. - Of my friends have the, yeah, the contiest on the list. - The gag on. - The gag on you hose. - On the list. - On the list. - The gag on you hose, like two of the, two most tea, like the only other apartment that I've ever seen where I, and it's east side, mind you. Actually, let me see what's. - See. - Donor L, a little place right there. - Let me see what's tea, because, yeah. I'm not kidding, bro. That spot right there had me like, but that's the old period. I would literally be like, grow fuck out. But she, my friend found it on Facebook Marketplace. - Right. - And then, or sorry, Craigslist. And then, one of our friends, but, she, her place is tea is, fuck. - No, Craigslist, it's, you know what? At the end of the day, it's a patient's game, okay? You guys are finding me after 72 hours of hyper fixation, so y'all know me, I'm literally like, I need this fixed by two nights. - Yeah. - And arguably fine. All we can do is wish for more time, huh? You know what I'm saying? But if I had a little more time, I may be a little less stressed. I can acknowledge that as well. So, if you're about to go look in the market, like, give yourself time, relax, you're fine. Just like the relaxing, and you're fine, just doesn't lend itself to like my personal personality, necessarily, and specifically my neurodivergence. But like, I understand that it's gonna be fine and people have pulled off like, miracles in this city. Like, people will pull off miracles, yeah. - Cool, and yeah. So, you know, and maybe you guys know some tea, right? Well, and like I said, by the time this come out, I better have found something. - Or might as well be like, are she? Well, yeah, no, literally, they're that, or you're gonna know, because don't go me yelling at me on the phone about a play, like seriously. Like, that's times that I'm giving where I'm like, I don't know if y'all remember me for real, like. - Well, no, I'm actually pretty, you know. - I'm pretty sure. - No, you keep it mad, aware, mad. - But I'm a little, I understand that I'm a little worried. - But here's the thing, I'm a messy roommate. - I'm not like a, oh, my shit literally looks like fucking, you know, like the Taj Mahal, like shit, definitely. I definitely be having shit. Like, my tea is the shit laying around. Like I get hella packages, I get hella whatever, and then I just be having shit laying around. - That's me. - But I will say there will not be addition. The sink, there will not be a crumb on the floor. - No, and there will not be a spill on the floor. - Yeah. - And the bathroom will be bleached and chloroxed, and like, if we put bleach on her asshole, am I gonna get on my t-shirt? - What the lyricals, what the fuck was that? - How does the lyricals, what? - What? - If she just bleached her asshole. - Okay. - All right, yeah, for sure, no, for sure. - Am I gonna feel like an asshole? - For sure, I think. - For sure. - I still need to make my like 2026 Pinterest. - I need to make my mood board. - I need to make my mood board much came true this year. Dude, do you want anything on my mood board came true this year actually? - Oh. - Even down to the running. - Oh, dude. - Even down to the running picture that I put on my mood board because I thought I was gonna start walking. And then we ran a fucking half. - Do you know what? - Do you know, do you want to know something that's really crazy? I posted on my fenced out August last year, and I said this time next year on tour, we literally had, I need to find it 'cause it's crazy. - Yeah, it was crazy. - It literally, and that's why I'd be saying, just don't just be saying shit. - Don't just be so serious. Like it dude. - Only say shit if you want shit to like have it. - No, if you want it 'cause I literally was pissed as fuck looking at my old mood board like damn, like that little walking picture she thought she ate that. - Ain't no, there maybe there was no walking. - What's your process for like, do you have advice or like a process for making a mood board? - Girl what I do genuinely is like, first of all, sit down. Me like this, let me talk to you. Not to be like yo, we won't see for real, but here's what we doing. We're gonna sit down in silence or music. I don't know. Sit down and like genuinely like visualize what is the vibe. It usually for me, like I feel like it comes to me and shout out Sophie, like editor and chief of Luna Collective Magazine, she like broke my brain open with this. Usually we'll say like I feel like like last month came to me in a vision. I'm about to be chilling. No tea, I know we're gonna be busy, but like we're probably gonna be really busy, but at the same time I could see it, it came to me. I'm gonna be chilling. It's gonna look like hosting some friends. It's gonna look like a little bit of wine, it's gonna look like hanging out in the parks. See what I'm saying, I could feel it, I could see it. So like sit down and I'll really like visualize the vibe of my life next year and I'll go and do it. Any girl who had we hearted it and Tumblr and I will go on Pinterest and I will literally look up, chilling as static, picnic as static, you know what I mean? Go through and like see the things that like you see for your life, pick foot, for me it gives like pick photos that like actually resonate with you, you know what I mean? If I was gonna manifest like next year I want like, I don't know, like next year I want like my own apartment, which see how I said that two weeks ago and now literally the university of two weeks and like great, let's say I do that, I'm going through and I'm not just gonna pick like a random like clip bar apartment, I'm gonna pick one that literally is like, oh I see it, I feel it, you know what I'm saying? Very much a lot of like visualization in that way, make a little mood board, have fun, make it cute, you know what I mean, like I'm happy to show mine from last year literally like whatever. And then I'll make it my phone wallpaper or like I'll put it up on the wall or something and I feel like the energy usually kind of just like manifests itself because what really got me to believe in manifestation actually was the idea that 90% of your brain is subconscious, like 80% or 90% brain is actually run by your subconscious. So that's why shit like looking in the mirror and being like, I'm awesome, like I'm whatever. Like even if you're like frontal cortex doesn't always like believe it, it's like you keep saying those things, so that eventually like your subconscious latches onto it and like it will do the work for you. - No, it's 100%. - 100%. - And that's why I get really fucking pissed off when people start literally start playing broken by Lotto, like literally start playing like, oh my shit. - Like my life sucks, like I'm like, 'cause I used to be that. I used to give like, you know, you used to pop my butt all the time, but I used to even give like jokingly like self-deprecation movements. Like I'd be like, oh my god, I'm so dumb. Like, oh my god, like I'm fucking like Rrrrr. Well, and here's the thing, I used to do that shit too. And then your reality like reflects that. - Yeah. - And like, and then as soon as you just literally start talking like, oh, and guess who own a broken? Guess who own a broken? - Well, because like you're subconscious who really like latch onto those things is the real T. So it's like, even like for me, the real problem was like self-deprecating jokes 'cause that's just like always. That was my humor for a very, very long time and I didn't really realize it. 'Cause in my head I'm like, I don't actually believe these things. Like I'm just like joking. Maybe you're subconscious don't know if you're joking or not. So all that hears is you literally over and over again you'd be like, I'm a serving artist. I'm a serving artist, ha ha. Like I'm just like, I don't know what I'm doing with my life, ha ha, like I don't know. Like I'm just so girl. 'Cause then the real T is when my frontal cortex used to be like, well, I don't actually believe that about myself. Bitch, I literally used to be like, wait. I actually couldn't tell you if I believed that or not. Like 'cause my subconscious was literally like, you say it all the time. So, so you're like, that back to a Pinterest mood board. I'm like literally out open a canva. Blank presentation, lay it on there, okay? Visualize the things that you want. Like that'll do your one, two. Because then your subconscious mind will literally be like, oh period, yes, period. Like even ever when we started running, I was like, yeah, I told myself I was gonna like walk more this year. Boop, no, okay. Now we ran a half. That was doing too much. But I say that in the sense of like, your subconscious will kind of like naturally gravitate towards the things that like we're in your mood board. And you know what I mean? Like when you sit down and you visualize it, you just need to give your brain like, and this is on ADHD too. Like you just need to give your brain something to focus on because if not your energy will just kind of like go everywhere. Which is also fun. But like, you know, if you try to be on some like, some focus shit, like if you really sit down and be like, damn, what the fuck do I want? Literally like every night. No, dead ass every year. I make like a list of shit that I want to happen. And I'm not kidding every single thing besides one. Yeah. And there's still time. Well, 'cause your subconscious will do what it do and it'll kind of like naturally like find those things out in your life. And I think like with manifestation, more so the idea is like putting those things in front of you so that it has something to lock on to. 'Cause if not, you know, like we said, it's just kind of giving like energy everywhere. So like I'll make like, again, shout out Sophie. Like she, huge, huge brain. She'll go the all the way down and make a camera presentation and do like quarter one goals, quarter two goals, quarter three goals, quarter four goals. She'll split them up like, this is what I want for my like lifestyle. This is what I want for money. This is what I want for my job. Like she'll bust it and that's why her ship be tight. Her ship right and tight. Shout out Sophie, I love you. She's so much, I don't like do all the way in depth but I will sit down and genuinely make like a list of like the things that I want. And also on top of that, it's giving like, be so cruel with yourself. Like none of that, like don't even bring the limiting beliefs into there, you know what I'm saying? Like yeah, well, and that's the other thing too. 'Cause it's just like the reality is if you were to like, well, and that's the thing, right? I literally August 13th, 2024. We had guess how many subscribers? 8,000. Damn, we were, okay, shit. Right. Okay, damn. And I said this time next year on tour. Literally, if you look at our tour dates, we were on tour. Well, that was a threat. Like literally, I should not shit like, no, and I remember when you posted it 'cause I was like, damn. Well, 'cause we were kinda like, oh, that'd be awesome. No, I know, but I remember 'cause you were like, oh, I would love to tour and I was like, damn, you think we'll tour. Right. And it's like when you're in a duo and like, we're both manifesting different things. Like, now it's awkward, you know what I mean? Like, everything coming true, but, but for real. Like, you know, locked in. Well, and that's the thing too, 'cause it's just like, if you, there's so many things that happen this year, that like, I had written down as like, they don't even have to happen. They like, it could've literally happened like, five years from now. That was me too. And I would have literally been like, fucking rock on, brother. Like, I remember one of those things was like a heaven campaign. Like, I was like, I wanna do one like, girl like, whatever it was called, like, girl. And like, when that should happen this year, I was like, see, I wasn't even like, it didn't even need to do all that. It didn't even need to do all that. And then it was just like, so many other things like happen. Like, that happened on the marathon. Like, just so many awesome, cool experiences that we got to be a part of. I was like, I wanna leave the country. Like, literally. I know I said the same thing. Yeah, and I was like, went to, had a Euro Summer, went to Mexico, like, so many like, first, went to fucking Canada. Yeah. We got to like, travel so much this year and like, do like, really awesome stuff. And like, imagine if I just wrote, oh, just, um, girl, huh? Yeah, I mean, you know what? I think it is like, I think one of the biggest parts of like, manifestations genuinely is like, the visualization of it. I think like, sitting with like, the feeling of the things that you want even more so than, like, I think a lot of times I find myself identifying more with like, feeling than I do with like, actual, physical goals. Yeah. Well, it's just like, a vibe too. Yeah, like, and it's important to kind of like, have that feeling and like, really, you know, sit down and like, visualize these things, but like, let your body like, feel how they would make you feel. Like, I think that was something that was really game-changing 'cause I haven't always been somebody who's like, next year, I want like, a G-wagon and next year. Like, I've never, I've never really been somebody up until like, I started practicing who had like, goals like this. I want to do this and I want to do this and I want to do this. Like, I'd always kind of just be like, I want to like, hey out with my friends and like, travel, which is fine. But then it's like, I think what takes it to the next level is the feeling, you know? Like, really sitting with myself and like, visualizing. I'm like a visual person, which is why like, a mood board gets me together 'cause I be looking at it like, right, like, right, yes, yes. But like, the feeling, if you don't have like, no like, written out goals, let's find out. to just like maybe how do you want to feel? It's important to check in with yourself. - Now that I'm thinking about it, 'cause I'm, 'cause I'll make like different, I don't make like one mood board for like the whole whatever. I just make different boards. It's like I'll be like, okay, like, relation. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's three years ago. - Whatever, like outfits, like, girl. - Oh, I have my outfit board too. I don't know if it looked like it, but. - Right, apartment, like, just everything. And then I'm like that. - I literally like this. - No, y'all got that. - Yuck. - Oh, yeah. - No, I look. - Well, in the fresh fruit on this mood board, I'm like, yeah, no, the one that says hydration, I'm like, yeah, yeah, in the sense that like, yeah, yeah. No, but actually, though, oh. - The way this is, no, 'cause I had to pull. - Like me looking at my mood board, like, wait, fuck. But what really gags me, Jenny, oh my god, the New York ticket, right. And like, that up. And like, that up. - I have. - Okay, not you, like, okay, hold on. You was like, deep in the shade, hold on. - Dude, I was literally-- - The puzzles. - I was like this. - Girl, I was like this. Like, a no tea, a no tea, no shade, a no tea, no shade. - Like, in here, like. - So I'm like, I will put my mood board up if anybody wants to see on some vulnerable shit. But I'm like, a, you know, like, I think it's just a nice, but I think it's also just a nice practice. Even if, well, and I don't want anyone to have limiting beliefs, 'cause I was gonna say, even if you don't believe you can do things, everyone can do things, obviously, and like, you have the power. I was gonna say though, like, it's honestly even just nice to like, check in with yourself. Like, I feel like the fall winter for me has been giving, like, bitch spring and summer. It was so on that I literally was like, I haven't heard myself talk in probably, like, three months, which is, like, love. Like, there's, like, time in place. But even, like, making my little mood board, I was like, oh my God, I forgot, like, yes. I want to fulfill a lot of teas in the morning. - No. - Yes, I want to, yes. - It's like, it's good to remember what you like. - You know what I mean? - And like, I'm checking with you. So, ah, next year, about to be so quiet. (laughing) Like, I'm really like, yes. Next year, about to be quiet as fuck. - No, I'm literally about to be give Rick Rubin. - Oh no, I'm about to put a tower on my shit, so y'all can just let me know. (laughing) But like, I'll see y'all, 'cause I'm like, listen. The UN logo stay right there. So it's on the front of this. - My shit's literally about to be like, y'all, you, y'all. - Well, yeah, 'cause last year, we were giving it running. Like, playing, I'm like, damn, bitch. Like, he was really trying to do some. - Low key. - Well, playing tickets at the beginning. - Low key. - I have goals. - I'm scared. - No, I have serious fucking goals next year. Like, I'm about to be like, oh y'all about, y'all about? - No, 'cause I'm like, when a gal, we're going to say, I'm like, oh hell no. - Guys, because it's just like when you-- - It's like, that's the best part of life. - It's just like, when you do some shit, and then you just like, realize you do shit, and then it's like, oh. - This girl, yeah, 'cause at the end of the day, we do and shit whether we like it or not. So it's like, do you want to do a focus or a focus? - Well, do you want to do a focus? Do you want to do a focus? And also my therapist, what do you want to do a focus? Like, true. Well, that's a capricorn right there. Do you want to be focused? Or do you want to be fucking focused? I'm like, what? (laughing) You have two options. - And it's about grinding this about power. - Well, the real team, my therapist was always say this, and she was like, if you want, if you want things to, okay, if there's something you're unhappy about, to change it is hard. - Yeah. - And to keep it the same is just as hard because it's already hard on you, right now. - Yeah, yeah, really. - So it's like, to make the change is hard, but it's like the hard, that's worth it. - Yeah, like pick the hard. - Yeah, pick the hard. - So I'm like, hey, y'all, next year you're giving, I'm gonna let my ball swing out, bitch, I ain't right, no shit. Down we just go see what happens, I'm also like this. - Hey, and you know what, period. Because like, I feel like with that kind of like, sentiment of like, change is hard, and saying the same is also just as hard. So it's like, maybe do the one that's gonna like, give you the one too, yeah, sure. But I will say like, I feel like there's a lot of changes that I've made like within myself in like the past couple of years and like. - Yeah, same. - And I'm just like, you know, I'm starting to see the fruits of them now and like, the investments that I've like made in myself with like, you know, like the mental health of it all. And like, I feel like that was like something that I really, like when I tell you like, I feel like I'm just someone and maybe it's the capital core to me where I like put my fucking money where my mouth is. Like, I think if there's something that I'm like talking about or something that like, I want to like have happened, like there needs to be money behind it because like, you know, like, and I'm not saying like, oh, I'm spending $2 billion, but I am saying like, I do think too that like that like financial investment in like whatever you're trying to actually like, manifest into your life is like important as well. And like, I don't know, it's just like cool. Like, you know, yeah, like therapy was a fucking investment and like it's also a privilege and like, I understand that. But like, I'm happy that like, you know, yeah, okay. I had to like, you know, I'm in the belt, but like, you know, I'm really happy that like, I made like that investment in like, just like other things. And like, I think that like now kind of seeing the fruit of it and like seeing how like easier things feel and stuff is like really nice to and like, I don't know. It's just like, I guess like being on the other side of like a year were whoo, 2024 girl. You took it girl. You actually took all of it. You actually girl, 2024. She took every last, I was like, girl, not to the count. That's too many damn slice. I know, I was like, the house, the bed. Okay, I know where, no worries. And then 2025, like, I feel like was such, honestly it was such an incredible year. It's maybe like one of the most impactful years I've ever had in my whole entire life. And like, I think just being on the rear end of it and like seeing all the things beforehand, like like even stuff that I started plotting 2022, 2023, like and just kind of seeing the fruit of that in like 2025. It's just like, it was just a really good reminder that I put like some really good investments down. In relationships, in people, the seeds, bro, like 100%. You never know when your shit's gonna sprout. So seeds everyday, brothers, seeds, every fucking day, put 'em totally do it. You can and you could also uproot shit. Yeah, you could uproot shit too. No, the tilling of the garden, like seriously. But we love you guys. We love you guys and I'm gonna make a request to put like, we were gonna, I had an idea to do a guided meditation episode, okay? I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry, y'all know I'm on my boo-boo shit. It's no tea, thinking about it in real time though. I'm gonna request a sound bowl maybe at the end. Yeah. Just a quick little sound bowl instead of our usual bus down. You know, I'm saying outro or something. So like if that happens, like y'all can blame it on me.
