The episode blends humor, personal reflection, and festive energy to explore the realities of modern holiday celebrations. Hosts share heartfelt anecdotes about their gift-giving habits, contrasting the lack of traditional Christmas cheer in Los Angeles with the warmth found in community and shared experiences. A key theme is the evolving view on relationships and family—particularly the growing appeal of adoption over biological parenthood and the idea that marriage is not a necessity. The hosts highlight a memorable, intense escape room experience involving a Krampus-themed scare, emphasizing the fear and exhilaration of being in a high-stakes, immersive environment. They also reflect on personal growth, social independence, and the Gen Z mindset of rejecting societal pressures around long-term commitments. The tone remains joyful and inclusive, celebrating the unpredictability of holidays and the value of staying connected with friends and chosen family. Ultimately, the episode serves as both a comedic and introspective look at how people navigate the modern holiday season—finding joy not in traditional rituals, but in authentic, personal connections.

We did do that though. >> That's what she said. >> Like I'm about to start handing her coal. I'm about to start throwing coal. Okay. I didn't bring my coal satchel because I thought like I didn't think I would need it today. But hey y'all also we did another escape room. Should we talk about that? >> My God. >> Yeah. We did. >> We. >> Yeah. We isn't y'all. >> We isn't bitch. I'm French. Yes. Yes. We did do the escape. >> We, we. >> Like we. And you know what I went. I don't know. I didn't need to go if I'm being honest. But hey. You know what I mean? >> But not to be mistaken for a did it. She was in the control box. >> I was in the control room. And honestly, I don't even know how much. I don't want to spill too much behind the scenes too because, you know, it's kind of giving like behind the magic vibes. But I will say, no, I'm just making sure you good. I'm just making sure you good. But I will say watching it from the back was a key. And I will also say I do enjoy the idea of there still being magic in things like everybody who works there. You can tell they live. They live. You know, I'm saying they live and they have so much fun. And I will say the last thing that I learned about that escape room, which is why honestly, like guys, y'all couldn't get me in that specific one. Like I need to go in with the illusion of the wizard to somewhere else, is that they are in a flow state of which you simply will not not be scared. Like they're talking about you. You know what I'm saying? Like it's giving, like all the escape rooms probably have security cameras though, huh? >> Yeah. >> So they can help you or whatever? >> Yeah. >> I want to do like a real one because I've never done and I like puzzles, but I don't know. Like from that regard, it's giving like, baby, they're ain't no. Like I almost thought it was like random. Do you know what I mean? In the sense of like they go in, they scare you. So like, oh, you might get scared. You might not. They kind of just pick someone. Oh, no, baby. They're like the one in the hat. I'm like, oh. That's my friend. >> They be plotting on people down. >> Yeah, that's my friend. >> And, ah, man. I mean, I thought it'd be less scared because I knew what we were getting into. But I was just as scared if not more scared because I like knew what could happen. So like the whole time I was like, me, like, no, first, like, I was so scared. >> It was Krampus themed also. So that's why it was done in the holiday season. >> And Krampus was fucking scary as shit. >> Sick like a six, five, like bust down Krampus with the whole mask on. It was very scary. >> It was so, and how to cane so that that was a scariest part was you could hear his cane. So you would know he was coming, it was awful. >> Yeah. And I again, I had the experience of being behind the scenes where like also like the control room and the green room were the same thing. So like me and Krampus were low-key cutting up and it's no tea. But like love time. Like they were just so sweet. They were all so sweet. >> Everyone, I mean everyone who works there is like awesome. >> They're awesome sauce. And honestly, I'll be honest, and this won't mean anything, I don't think, but before we were about to go in, when we went into, when we were about to walk into the room, I really genuinely had a moment with myself of like, I might just bite it. Like I was like, you know what? Maybe I'll just bite it. Baby, we walked into the first room that was before the rules room. And I was like sweating. Like I literally was sweating and I hated to do it, but I kept me like, where's the control room? Sorry. Like I don't have to go, right? Like I have for some reason. I know you guys would never do this to me, but I was like, number one, I was scared as shit. And then like it brought up this fear of like what if they just closed the door and like this is the escape room? Like I'm about to start crying. So I almost cried for a couple seconds. And then that affirmed me that I was like, let me just go ahead and set this out. >> That's when I was like, just go next to OV. >> Yeah, no. And OV literally was like, girl, like no, it's okay. But I was like, the door's not out, like I was like actually my body started panicking. It was crazy. That wasn't even the rule room. I was like, what the fuck? But that's when I knew it's above me. >> No, it was so creepy because like in the beginning they have you blindfolded. And that's when it was, we like heard them walking around. Oh my God, it was so fucking scary. >> No, y'all were tearing through that, there's hair in my mouth. Y'all were tearing through that though. >> Well, I feel like the puzzles were like, I don't know, they were challenging though. We definitely like called on some friends, but I think, I don't know. So I'll did fantastic. >> No, no, I'll knew he had something to come do. >> Yeah, the point of this one was for him to have redemption and I can live with being a part of that story for sure. >> Yeah, yeah. >> Yeah, he got his aura points back. >> No, he definitely did because they were definitely like doing it. >> The Christmas miracle that he got his aura. >> And I'm happy for him. >> I'm so proud of you, chunk. >> And you guys were doing the outtang in there, like y'all went by so fast, it was really crazy. I like blinked and it was over. >> Well, it was nice because we just made the guys do all the hard things. >> Yeah. >> And they did make the guys do like a lot of the like, it's like so scary because you're just like, I don't want to go there. >> Yeah. And since Noah was down to do the scary things, I was like, you know, we can focus on the puzzle. >> Right. Yeah, it was fun. >> It was fun. >> It was fun. >> It was awesome. >> But yeah, I'm glad his friends.
closed my eyes whenever they were near, 'cause I knew if I saw their faces, I would be very scared. - Well, I also didn't see the crampus mask until the end. Like, when I came in, like, crampus was like getting into drug type shit. And like, I didn't see the mask go on probably 'cause it's like so hard to see in it or whatever. Baby, when I saw that shit at the end, I literally was like. - Oh, no, the first time I saw him, I was like, so fucking scared. - It's scary as hell. - It literally scared the fucky out of me. - Yeah. - And y'all did that though. - I was like, I'm scared. - And y'all did that though and I'm just happy for you. - Yeah. - And consider a real escape room and I would like to do that. - I'm not. - I mean, I'm not real. - Like, one where it's not like scary. - Okay. - It's just like an escape room. - Right? - It's like that. - So, yeah, a non-scareous escape room. - Yeah. Like, the Puzz ones? - Yeah. - Or my tripod. - No, they're all kinds of escape rooms. They're not all-scaped. - Are they all-themed? - Most of them are-themed, but I would say, not all of them are, like, horror escape rooms. - No, they're like, there's like mission, mission impossible. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I wanna do one of those. - I love, like, the Puzz ones. - Echo Park, I saw really just built that they do escape rooms. They have like, have you seen on TikTok? Like, where you have to like, stand on like a certain color, like. - What? - It's kind of like the floor's lava. - No. - And you'll like jump around and be like, okay, you have to stand on pink and then you like find the pink square and you have like two seconds. - I haven't seen that before. - They have like, it's like a whole like thing. But, okay, you know the car wash? - Like, just a car wash? - No, no, no, in Echo Park, you know that, like, car wash and then you go over and it's still really like flea. - What's yours? - Sunset. - Sunset? - Sunset. - No, Sunset, but I can't think of what's before. It's like, you know when you are driving and it's like, it's just like, now we're in Echo Park. - Yes. - It's that. - Oh, that car wash? - That car wash? - That car wash, yeah. - Oh wait, on that street, there's that, like, escape room place. - Oh my God, I didn't know. - 'Cause one time I was like walking and I saw it and I was like, - Hey! - Hey! - Damn, I didn't know that. Are they expensive? - I heard the Zoe was an add-on. - Oh. - So they added that? She's not usually in the Christmas room. - Wow. - It was added on. - It's usually just crampus. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - So when you guys see that video, like, let me know. Hopefully you'll be out by now. - Hopefully. - 'Cause shit was hella funny, no shade. - And if not, it's looting. - Shit was hella funny just live, you know what I'm saying? - And Matt and Pike. (laughs) - Pat and Mike. - We're finding it. - Pat and Mike were, this is the best. I wish they lived in LA. - I know, they're so sweet. - But I mean, they'd be doing their tang. And it was fun having them. It was fun to get the gang back together. Every time I see Alina, I'm just like, - Right. - Like, that's Matt. - Like, that's literally Matt. - That's Matt, she's awesome. - It's just like such a good time. - Yeah. - Talking about a horror escape room, I'm like, yes. - I mean, well, that's what we were saying before we started, we were just like, it feels like we're just hanging out. Like, it feels like we're hanging here to like just see each other and hang out. But the reality is. - We're until that door is swung open. - Right, until like Julian was like, get your ass in here. - And shout out Julian. - Shout out Julian. - Shout out Julian. - Like the gang was T. - Yeah, everyone was T as hell. - And I fuck with the vibe of like, people who just like, fuck with what they do. - Yeah, it was awesome, everyone was perfect. It was great, had a good time. - Scary. - And if they still have it open, you should do it. - Yeah, escape it in Fullerton, escape it games. It was scary as shit. But they do have a top out though. So. - Yeah. - Ultimately, you could give it a shot and if you don't like it, you know what I mean? Like, you can just go ahead and top out that motherfucker. I guess. But anyway, yeah, I'm like, haven't done shit for the holidays, what like, period. - Right. Do you have anything on your Christmas wish list? - No, and I really think about my Christmas wish list to be honest. I mean, I, I'm definitely like, I'm sorry, this beard is like, I'm definitely serving like gift giving love laying though. Like I'm genuinely very much like my joy comes from like, giving the gifts. So I'm very excited to like get me one's gifts and then for them to come. - That's how I feel too. I'm really excited to give you your present and your present. - And I'm excited to give you all yours too. I think it'll be good. But I mean, I guess we'll all find out together. For the, oh, we should have just won though. I don't have all of you guys's stuff yet. So now it's awkward, but you know, I think it'll be a gift opening. - Yeah, but I'm like, also the tea of like, whoa, December, I forgot how expensive December is because like, unfortunately, I do get every single person in my life a gift. So it's just like, damn. - Right. - So you know. - Oh. - No, I was thinking her. - No, I was thinking about it. I was like, no, that's true. - Yeah. - Like, it always sneaks up on me. And every year is like, you go just harder and harder and harder, so you just spend. - I feel like this year for me is kind of a soft year. I'm gonna be so honest with you guys like, literally after putting out a loan, I was like, and I'm gonna give y'all like what I can give y'all, you know what I'm saying? - I think this is the hardest year I've gone for everyone. - How many gifts do you, really damn, how many gifts do you usually give? Or like how many people I mean? - For sure you too. - Yeah. - And then Lisa and my mom. - Right. - And then for family Christmas, this year I've leveled up and now I'm a part of, we do a gift exchange. So we don't have to give gifts for everyone in our family. - Oh, okay. - Kind of like, bring a gift and like. - Like a wide elephant situation? - Yeah, like you kind of just like bring a gift that's like, X amount of money. And then it's just like, everyone like trades amongst each other. This is the first time we're doing that. Usually what happens is you pick a name earlier in the year. - Right, and then you do a little one too. - I think the actual adults do that. But since we're all so grown besides one of our cousins, it's giving like, that's probably like makes the most sense. - Yeah. - But I still get my cousin stuff. Like I always get them just like some fun and stuff. I mean my cousins are, I mean, my cousins are a little hard to shop for. One of them's not. She's literally like, what, 12, 13? So like, you know, that's me. - Right, no, I just shop for, and she's a diva too. So I just like shop for me. And my other cousin Kayla, like, she's easy to shop for. But the other ones, they like play video games and I don't. So sometimes it's kind of easy. - I just get them steam. - What steamers? - Like in a box, like steam in a drawer. - I'm trying to, you know, have you on the steam. That's what I mean. I feel like gaming is easy because you can always, there's always something to be bought. - Yeah, I just wish I like new. - Like what they play. - What they, like we're, well, I guess you can use that gift card to do a lot of stuff. 'Cause I mean, I would try and get them something more like, personable, but I just, yeah, I just feel like, since I don't know how to play, like, those kind, like something that involves steam, I just get them that. - No, 100 percent. - But yeah, when that's, when it's all sit and done, and like, you know, but. - It's gonna be what it'd be. And also I haven't been home in a couple of years. Like this is my first time being home for Christmas in like two years. So I haven't gotten gifts for everyone in two years. - Right, so you're gonna come and swing in. - Yeah, so I'm gonna come and swing and get like, my aunts and uncles, everything. - Oh. - And just be super sweet. - Do a little one too. - Yeah, super sweet. - No, and that's real as hell. And that's real as hell. I'm like, I think I only have a couple more. And interestingly enough, we didn't do no type of like, secret Santa, no fucking white elephant. No, nothing this year. - Oh, I think it's just, I mean, we so could. I think it's just, it's crunch time. - And that's what I'm saying. I'm like, we just came into December like, you know, it's our first, it's okey. - It's just like this December, it came in like so hot that I just feel like we didn't really have time to even were like struggling to plan the extra curricular of it all. - And I feel like everyone this year is going for like a gift exchange. Which I feel like usually we'll kind of be like, okay, what everyone want to do? Like, are we gonna lie, whatever? But like this year when I was like, oh, I got your gift, I'm ready. I was like, what? - I know. - So I'm like, period. - Well, I mean, like, I feel like since we are such a big like gift friend group, like we just be getting each other's up. - Yeah, that's true. - I just wanna say, dating someone who loves like getting gifts and like, you know what I mean? It's so fun. Like the surprises of it all. - Yeah. - Like I love just like giving someone a surprise. - Yeah, and that's the gift giving love language, you know what I'm saying? - It's so fun. - It's funny, I have like nobody else in my life really who has the same love language I feel like. - Really? You're definitely like a gift-giver. - No, you mean, I feel like us three are like, that's like our tea. - Yeah, and it's so funny because I'll literally like buy people's shit and then everyone's just like, well, you could just hang out and I'm like love that though. Like love that, but I'm so like, well I got you like, I'm literally like showing up to the shit. Like, oh, I picked up this rock off the side of the road 'cause like it reminded me of that time that you said that, like, you know what I mean? - We're just like trinket devas. - Yeah, we are. - We're like collectible truths. - I just love that. I love a little gift. I love thinking about people. And it's also just like genuinely and how I know is because if somebody tells me they like something every time I see it, I think about it every single time. And I'm literally like, I should just get it. They'll like it. - No me too. - So don't tell me you like nothing 'cause, ain't nothing funny. - No, that's the real tea. Well, and also too, I just feel like, yeah, we're just, we're just, we're just trinket devas. - Yeah, I think we do give that. - We give that. - We give that. And it's just like we can't help but do it. - Yeah, and I love doing it. So this is like the time of the year that I love so much 'cause I'm literally like, bitch, we got a rock. - No, we do. - And excuse to buy everyone something fun. - I know, I'm excited to go home because packages were delivered. - Oh yeah. Dude, I know I'm like, some of my shit. Literally, oh my god, and the best part is wrapping them. I'm so excited to go wrap some shit. - Oh, I need to get-- - I know what to get wrapping paper from them. - There's a place. What, it just depends what you're trying to get into. - I don't care, but every year, I usually would go to Target. - Okay.
The Trader Joe's on third tree, paper, paper source. - Oh, paper source, yeah. - But sorry, that's one of the brands in there where they make like, it doesn't matter. - They have wrapping paper? - Yeah, they have cute wrapping paper. Pottery Barn has wrapping paper. - Right. - There's a place on large mall that sells - Does home goods have wrapping paper? - Yeah, they have to. - Yeah, all of them do. It just depends what kind of like vibe you're going for. Like if you want like tea. - I mean, I like find something. I usually would just like pick some shit up from like target on some whatever shit, but like not doing that this year. - Paper source has really cute wrapping paper, but it's like if you don't care how cute it's gonna be, home goods are like any of, or a world market. - Right. - Like any of those divas. - She can get ripped off, so it's like. - Yeah. - So which I went to world market and it's just so awesome in there. - It's very, very awesome. However, I literally will go in there and not buy shit. It's just like damn. - Well also I'm like, dude, I went to the grove. - It was like busting out the seams. - Yeah, girl, it's that time of year. - I know, it's that time of year. - It's so crazy. When I worked out the grove, I mean, I didn't drive 'cause like I just lived across the street and like literally walked there for my shift. But I'm like, ooh, ooh, mm-hmm. Like those holiday shifts, I'll never forget them. - Yeah, I just love working holidays though, 'cause I would just like wrap the whole day. - Yeah. - That part was teach, like wrapping books was so fun. But other than, no. If I was doing like retail, should I be like, oh hell no. - Dude, when I was working retail, oh my god. I mean, like my head at the end of the day would like literally be threatening to explode. - Yeah, and that's like real nice. - But the only thing that was nice is like our discount one up, so. - Oh really? - Yeah, so we could like get more like Christmas season. - Well, 'cause the grove is serious and I'm also, I'm like, maybe this is a plea for more like third spaces and like holiday cheer just in general. But it's like, I'm seeing all the TikToks that are like, oh yeah, like this is where you should go for the holidays and like one of them being like the grove. I'm like, what? I mean, I get it. Like, 'cause I get it for like the festivity of it all and it's like, country, but I'm just like, it's so funny seeing like literally the grove and then like the Americana as like holiday destinations. I'm like, oh, it's damn it. - Yeah. Well, I'm like, I don't know if there's like, it's so hard 'cause like LA so spread out. - Yeah. - 'Cause like in Arizona, there's like, I don't think they have this year unless correct me if I'm wrong. We're at like the Phoenix Zoo. They would, it's called Zoo Lights. And they would just set up like a bunch of Christmas lights. - Yeah. - You could like walk the whole zoo and it's like, that's a really popular thing. - They do that here for the LA Zoo. - Oh, for the LA Zoo. - Oh, we could do that. Walk and see Christmas lights. - And like the animals, but literally have me like, feeling like Elfaba. - Right. - But I will say though, I think it's also the tea of like, you know, 'cause Sacramento has shit like that too, but the LA, specifically where we're at, where it's like the Sydney part of LA like Sydney is shit. There's just not, there's that lack of like a suburban Christmas culture in the sense that like, I gotta go to the group, see a damn light. Like shit. - Yeah. - I literally drive around the street. I'm like, damn, I know my fucking lights are on this bitch. - Well, and it's like everything's so spread out too. That it's just like, hard to like, I feel like if you're in a place like, you know, obviously New York where you're just like, you kind of like walk into the next, whatever. And so it's kind of, it's just the whole city feels like Christmas cheer. Kind of vibe where it's like here. You kind of have to like really like seek it out or like plan it. And nobody puts lights up, no shade. - Yeah. - Like on like, well, I mean, and I don't either. Like, well, actually, no, I don't know one so, I don't know one so. But it's like, you know, they really know like, walking around like, you know, and everybody like shit lit up anyway. - I know, I was like curious about like, maybe if Lurchmont, like the house isn't there. - Maybe, I mean, I'm sure probably when you go up into the suburbs, like even like Pasadena and stuff, they have like Candy Kane Lane and all that. But you know, it's like that, I mean, but I mean comparing LA to somewhere like Sacramento is like impossible because it's completely kind of like different lifestyle. But you know, when I went back home, I was like, the girls already had, they shit up. I was like, right. - No, when I go back to Arizona, you're the odd one out if you don't have lights up. - If you don't have lights up. - Like it's like something's wrong with you. Like even if you don't have one reindeer girl. - Right, at least one reindeer. So for that, it's like, damn, I guess they do have to go to the Grove to see like a Christmas light, but it's just how funny because I'm literally standing outside like Blue Ribbon Sushi, like trying to see like Santa. You know what I mean, it's like, damn. I will say, it looks awesome this year. - It always looks fantastic. - And the vibes have been correct. I've been to the Grove quite a few times 'cause-- - And I need to see, but it do be busy. That's what I mean, I guess, is like this. - It's a holiday destination now. - Well, I think the T is, it's giving like, go in the after like, get there at like three and thug it out to like five or something. - Maybe. Well, yeah, 'cause the fucking sun literally goes down at three thirties, so it's like, damn. - So I'm just like, it's giving like, you have to kind of like hit it when like, 'cause it's as soon as the sun goes down. - It's over. - Like literally, I try to go, I'm like some cutesy, like, oh, like, let's go see like the Grove. - Maybe you're not thinkin' cutesy. - It's Sunday an hour before. - Maybe, ain't nothing cute. - No. - Ain't nothing cute about getting like literally knocked over, like, I don't know. - I was like, goddamn. - Well, it'd be fierce over there at Miss Grove. - I was like, damn, never, never mind. - Right, do you want anything for Christmas? - Well, it's like, what do you get the girl who buys herself everything she has ever desired? - That's my problem with you, yes. - I did buy myself, like, quite literally anything I could have wanted. - Right. - I brought myself an espresso machine this year. - Right. - I brought myself an ice machine. - Right. - Right. - What else to reflect upon my purchases? - Right. - Cabinet. - Right. - I might get, well, I am getting a new car, but I am thinking maybe my last big purchase, like, for Mama Mia, that I might get myself as a new washer and dryer. Might do that for dad's real. My jar is broken right now. - So I'm feeling that. - Yeah, I mean, Costco has like really good deals, obviously, and I'll just get a Costco membership first. - Yeah, it's $2, bro. - Two. - I mean, 20 for the year. - 20. - Not even. - She grows 60. - For the executive premium. - For the, well, maybe there's an under. But when I looked it up, the first tier is 60 bucks. - Which is still, yeah, for the whole year is like, not a huge deal, but I don't go to Costco ever, except to eat in the food court. - I feel like, I keep Costco around. I mean, I don't go often, but like, when I do go, I'm a little thankful. - I mean, she's that girl. - I mean, if you could always use my membership girl. - No, but she had that. And you could take, like, I want to justify it. It's just hard because there's not much I can buy in bulk. - Yeah. - I was like a girly who's just like a girl. - Well, speaking of things, you could buy a car from Costco. - You actually can, I forgot that you, that's what my dad like always would do. - But from Costco? - From what? - You like, do they have like a, like, a lot? - They have like dealerships they partner with. - Damn. - Do you get like a Costco price on cars? - Damn. - So it's about that, actually. - Yeah, so like, it's so much cheaper. - Whoa. - Actually, I should look into that. - Yeah, looking to the, I didn't know that Costco had cars. - Yeah, so like essentially, you like find a car that you want. You call a dealership, they set you up with a Costco person, like a Costco person meets you there. And they're like, okay, and they'll give you like what? $13,000 off or something like that. - Jesus Christ. - And they'll be like, this is what your membership, your Costco membership gets you. - That's kind of everything. Costco do be doing a big one. - Yeah, my friends have always bought a car through Costco. But I'm like, I don't know, I just get scared. I don't know how to do that. - Yeah, you just got to hunker down. - Yeah, it's like everything else. - Because we model your house through Costco. - I wanna just need a house through Costco first. - You can buy a house through Costco. - Can you? What the fuck is going on? - Well, 'cause they, it's like, you know, it's like wholesale. It's literally called Costco wholesale. Like it's just kind of like, - So they have wholesale houses? - No, but they have like partners, like people who like, they partner with. - No, 'cause that's like crazy. Like you can literally get everything. - Yeah. - Whoa. (gasps) - Oh. - Don't need water. - As of May 2022. - Okay, well yeah. - You used to be able to at least end. - That's crazy. - 'Cause like at the end, you like see all of them. They'll be like, do you wanna see? Do you want new flooring? - Do you want it? - Well, yeah, that hell make sense too. 'Cause then you can just like bust it down through Costco. - Um, you can buy like, you used to be able to buy like rental properties. - Whoa. - And stuff and like, you buy vacations. - Whoa. - They have like, they remember the Disneyland, like vacations and stuff. - Right. - So they kinda have everything you could ever need. - Costco has everything, yeah. But for $60 a year. - For $60 a year? - It's light when you can buy a house. Or like, it's getting more. But by a car or shit, I'll talk with that. - Yeah. So I mean, that's the only thing I'm like really like. - Yeah. - So that's about it. - No, yeah, like taking the year home, you know. - Taking the year home, but I feel really happy with life. I feel like this is such a good year, bro. This is not the new year episode, but I just had a really good year, but anything would be better than last year or so. - Yeah, I feel you. I see you. I think I'm excited for next year. Like next year's about to be like, bitch, I'm literally like, ooh baby, like it's me, it's me. (laughing) 'Cause this year was giving like, okay, this isn't the nearest episode, but this year was giving like, baby, like, North, South, East, West, like, holy, like I blinked and the year was over. So next year, I'm going for kind of like a, kind of like a me and the trees situation. Kind of like a- - I stopped my rambling. - Yeah. I'm like, whatever that is, yeah. Yeah. (laughing) - Like I'm going for a little chill.
- Little one so slow. - I think I might go for a move. I mean, I've been talking about moving, but I'm like, I'm really thinking about it these days. - Yeah. - But I'm like so scared to live alone, like, I don't know. - I mean, living alone is, I lived alone, and it was fine though, because I have friends. - Right. - I think living alone's hard if you don't have friends. - Okay, that's fair. - Like, I feel like if you, well, you know, how I be. - Yeah. - 'Cause, like, I mean, our job is already, like. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry. - I don't know that there is a hole. - I'm sorry. Go ahead. (laughing) - Sande, he's taking a break. - Yeah, I agree. I think it's easier when you have friends, and you, you know, invite them over, and you, like, make an effort to be social, which you don't have an issue with. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And, like, I think now that we also have, like, we go to a physical space to record. - Right, right. - There's, like, we have events that we go to. Like, I would be more concerned if, like, you were, like, never left the house. - Yeah. - Or, like, didn't have, like, the, you know what I mean? - Yeah, 100%. - Oh my God, we haven't seen mine in a month, like. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, okay, then maybe I'd be, like, concerned. Because, like, the reality is, is, like, say, you're bored in the house and you're in the house. - Bored, yeah. - Or you're literally, like, oh my gosh, like, the voices, like, make them stop. - And that's what scares me is the voices. - You literally just give someone, like, I do it all the time. - Yeah. - Sometimes I'll be, like, home by myself. And, like, Quentin or Emily isn't home and I'll just be like, okay. - The voices. - Like, let me call Alexis and we can ever come over and, like, hang out with me or, like, just call, like, a friend, like, whatever, or, like, leave the apartment. But, like, I feel like it, it's, as long as you have some sort of, like, social plan, or, like, a social, or a social person, you know what I mean? - Yeah. - It's, like, chill. - No, that's fair. I think I've been, like, thinking about it for the first time ever, very much prompted by this year where I feel like we spent so much time out the house that, like, sometimes it really gave, like, oh, I don't even know, like, I'm about to come home and have, like, a son in my living room, you know, which is, like, literally one of those, like, pop-up saunas that you can get, like, sitting in my living room, which is, like, not necessarily lending itself to, like, the roommate experience, which, I've had, like, such, not even luck, like, I've always lived with friends, but I have had really good luck in this one, so, like, my friends have always been so too to live with. And, like, there's a part of me that's, like, there's a part of me that wants to keep living with friends one because it's, like, girl, the living alone, maybe the cost, I'm literally, like, okay, you can take my tow. Yes, like, I guess you can have my tow. But also, like, I have this, kind of, like, existential dilemma of, like, this idea that there's gonna be a time in life when, like, we just won't live with our friends anymore. Like, that part makes me sad, but then I'm also, like, turning 28, how old am I? I'm turning 27, and I'm, like, damn, maybe those years are, like, closer than I do. Also, let's, like, this up, like, Gen Z is low key, like, a social experiment. In the sense that, like, we're living life in a way that feels, like, nobody has to live it, like, diss at it before. That was, like, Shakespearean accent. Like, I don't know. Like, I've never had Shakespeare. But, like, we, like, that has never lived that before. In the sense that, like, we're literally all, like, '35, and I'm literally, like, no house, no kid, no idea. - No bitches. - No bitches, no plan. Don't give a fuck, like, literally, don't give a fuck. So then it's also, like, shit, I don't know. Like, I feel like in my head, I'm like, who's to say, like, what that's even gonna look like? Like, maybe we'll all still live together when we're, like, fucking 33, you know what I mean? But, like, I don't know. - I mean, like, I cherish these days. - Yeah, no, me too. I mean, it's so awesome. Like, I love, you know, I love the Rumi X, oh. - Sorry, no, he's talking. I'm just sorry I'm doing this when you're talking. - Go ahead, I'm listening, I'm listening. - I love the Rumi experience. I mean, I've been a roommate, Tiva, for a real long time. I, I've been, like, pretty much lives alone during COVID. But see, even that was like a real time. - When I lived alone during COVID is also when I met Quentin. So, like, he kind of just, like, ended up staying with me. - Yeah. - And the quarantine of it all. - Yeah, like, we kind of just ended up quarantining together and during that time, I was like, oh, like, that really surged me during that time. - Yeah. - And, but now that we can actually go outside and be around people and, like, whatever, I feel like if I were to live alone, I could, like, handle it because I'm not in the house, like, 25/8. - Yeah, 100%. Yeah. I guess I just, I've never had that experience before, so I don't really know what to expect. - I mean, I think it'll, it'll be nice, like, knowing that, like, you're responsible for, like, like, it's nice when you are responsible for, like, - Everything. - Yeah, yeah. - Like, it's just, like, if I leave my apartment this way, that's how my apartment's left. - Totally. - And, like, if I didn't do this, I didn't do it. - Yeah, 100%. - I think, like, that's kind of nice. I mean, you don't answer to anyone, like, just kind of, like, do your own thing, but, like, I do understand, like, the individuality complex that we have, like, especially as, like, as a society. And, yeah, I don't know, but I think that, like, you're a very, like, community-forward person. So, like, I do, like, hanging out. - Yeah, you be king, and we be king, so, you know what I mean? - So, yeah. - Yeah. - No, but, like, my main hump is really the voices. Like, it'd be dark sometimes, you know what I'm saying? - No, I'm like, shit. - Like, shit, hashtag, shit. But, also, I mean, it used to, no, I feel like, everything is adaptable, and everything is in flow. Like, that's more of a fear than it is something that I can prove to be true, you know, so. And, also, there's, like, other methods besides human interaction that can, like, help with that, you know, like, making sure your place is really, like, light. Like, there's a lot of light that comes through. Like, I feel like, for me, like, that's something that really helps to keep our pride in our place. - Yeah, totally. - You know what I mean? And, like, I always have music going when I'm at the house by myself, and, like, I have a routine. Like, I feel, like, those things kind of, like, help counteract that, and then, I don't know, sometimes you are just bored. - Yeah. - And there's voices, and it's okay. - No, and that's okay. Like, need to practice being bored more. - Yeah. - 'Cause bitch, ain't never been bored. - Never been bored. I'm like, maybe you could get a (murmurs) - I know, but then it's, like, damn, bro. Like, that's gonna put, like, 15 on my clock. - Oh, right. - 'Cause I'm, like, y'all already know, like, I mean, and I guess at the end of the day, I mean, I've had trigger warning. I'm, like, trigger warning, pets, pet lifespan. But, you know, I've had, I've had my fair share of dogs. No, I've had one dog. I had one dog, and I had one cat. I guess I meant to say my fair share of pets. Like, I've had pets. It's not that I haven't been through the experience of, like, them passing on in me, literally, being, like, what the hell we gonna do now. But something about, like, damn, like, I'm gonna raise you for real from jump. Like, I've always had family animals. And then I went to college, which runs itself to, like, you know what I mean? Like, I didn't literally raise this child by myself. - Yeah. Um, so I just feel like if I got a cat, like, it's just like, where are you going? Like, if you go somewhere, see how I have to go to, so now it's, like, awkward, you know what I mean? But I guess that's kind of the point. - Point. (laughs) - I'm like, no, I would love a cat. - I, yeah. - Everyone that I know is allergic, but I would love one. - Yeah, I know, me, including me. - But I would, I would, I would, I would power through. I mean. - Yeah, I mean, everything's possible. - That doesn't, that shouldn't be, I guess that shouldn't be a deterrent, but that's always been kind of like the, the means for pause. - Yeah. - Pause. - Pause. - Literally, 'cause I'm literally like, maybe you ain't going nowhere. - Exactly. You know? - Well, my friend Madison, she has the cutest fucking weenie dog, like, the cutest dogs in ever, like, so goddamn cute, shout out, Indie. Maybe if she'll let me, I'll put a picture up right now. But that, okay, low key best dog ever, because first off, the mother fuckers, just want to like lay out, like, those are like low key, the cats of dogs, like, they literally just want to be like, and I'm like, thank you, and they're kind of like shy, so they don't be like doing too much, specifically her dog. I mean, not all, I'm not speaking for like all doxxons, no weenies, like, I'm not speaking for all the weeners, but I'm definitely not speaking for all the fucking weeners in the world, but the one that I've interacted with, was like really awesome, and like, we literally just like, napped together, and it was perfect. - Yeah. - And I was like, wait, this is kind. - It is tea. - It's very tea. - It is tea, and I feel like every time I've mentioned living alone, everyone always goes, like, just get a pet, and I'm like, here's the thing, guys. I'm not trying to limit myself in the sun, not even limit myself in day-to-day, but limit myself, like, that really puts like 14 to 15 on my clock. - Yeah. - And then if I got one now, 42, I'd be 42 when it died. Oh my God, bitch, I don't know what I'm gonna do in 42. - I don't know, well, no, I'm real shit. I don't like, that's like the years when I should have like, travel money, or something, like, I don't, you know, that's like, that's like when I'm trying to retire. - Yeah. - So if I had a cat at 42 when it died, like, I'm gonna have to cancel my meek and no strip. - For real? - Yeah. - I'm trying to live that for me. - Right. (laughs) - I'm like, I'm trying to live the 40 where I'm just like, you know what I mean? Like empty nester, but I didn't have any kids. - No, that's literally my aunt, bro. - And Lake Dada. - Have you met my aunt that listened to you in a Monica? - Is that the diva that went to Vegas with us? - No. - 'Cause then no, 'cause she has kids. - No, my aunt, she's so tea. She's so goddamn tea. She like, had a boss up career. Like, I was like, a head nurse. Like, she was just like, everything. And like, just like, worked her way up the ranks. and retired.
early and now all she does is literally travel. She has no kids. She's been with this same guy since like literally beginning of time. Like and she's never they've like they're together. Like there is like that is her man like period end of story. What's Oprah, how what's her joint? We're like she's they're not married and they're not anything, but they're just like that's her that's her twin in them. Her twin in them does she? Wait, who can I can we look up Oprah man? Thank you, sorry. I'm just trying to always be like that's my person. But what's his name said man. Oh, she can't even said them. Stead man. Oh, sorry, I can't see with the girl. I can't see either like let me. I'm sorry. Long term partner. Yes, that man. But she won't be like, oh, my husband or my boyfriend or anything. Like she say I'm not he 74 years old. Girl, what's the problem? She'll literally just be like my Stead man literally. And that's not her will not that and relationships aren't defined by the fucking by the prospect of marriage. But I'm just interested in like that's not even your boyfriend now. No, literally and she always says that it's always been like that. Vlogs in Oprah and Stead man's relationship. We can't ignore like is messy over there is messy. Yeah, uncomment like there should very like she's just like, that's my person. That's literally my aunt with her not boyfriend. Like they're not married. Are they open? Not your aunt. No, are they open? Or like they just like what? No, they're just like that's her person like well, because they didn't know about open yet. Like they didn't have open at the time of the Oprah show. I just don't know why they don't have like a label. Like are they poly or what's D? Oh, they're in an open sea like that. I miss Oprah. Well anyways, my aunt is not, but she won't marry him. And he like they're just together and he accepts it. And he's just like a period like let's take it all the way because here's my he is. I'm like listen, I like the idea of a wedding. Let me let me dissect that on the pod. What do I like about a wedding? My friends, the dress. Well, Emma's wedding. Who'd the bus down? The bus down, and Macy's wedding. But however, I don't want to be married. Hmm, really? I do, I wouldn't like to sign any paperwork. I feel like for me, I definitely like that's the only thing I do want for sure. Marriage is for to be married. Yeah, like I feel like everything else, I like don't like he should all we should all, like I don't really like care for it. But marriage, I do care for. And I'm obsessed with that. Yeah, like I'm just like, 'cause if we're gonna be together type shit, like I'm for real. Like if we're about to like lock in in like a very serious way, not just like, oh yeah, that's like my step in like, I mean like if that's like my nigg for real, I'm like, then we do need some paperwork because I mean, after my dad passed away, they, well also in California, do they have common law marriage? Yeah, so it doesn't even matter if you do or zone. How would they fucking know? 'Cause it's the law of common. Okay, so I'm not, like what are they gonna show up to my door, like he still lives here? Yeah, it's like if you guys live together, if you guys like do like do life together, you guys have been, I don't know how long it is, but. It's 10 years, but I guess I'm genuinely wondering like, how would they know? What's wrong with getting married? I'm curious. No, that was a separate conversation. No, you just had me peaked on my interest of like, yes, I know common law, as she I've always heard of her, but like actually genuinely, how would they know? I mean, I guess it would be more of a thing, like they wanna come to you, like you were common law, marriage to this person. Right. It's more so you would come to them and have like the proof. No, exactly, 'cause then that's my point is like, if you were just like, that's my step in, like they ain't gonna get her ass. 'Cause if they ask, then how would they know? I'm genuinely curious. I'm not even throwing shade on common law, like I'm just actually. I think it's the living together of it all. Oh, well shit, me and Keelin about to be common law in a couple of years, shit. And wake that up. No, I guess I personally am just saying that I don't have the, I don't have the itch for it, necessarily, but I do have the itch for wearing a wedding dress, is all I'm saying. I'm not like against marriage. Like if that, like what's to happen? And I'm also like, even just been talking about like being aunties with no kids, I'm just thinking about the idea that like literally cuts us in 10 years. And the chances of one of us having a kid is probably about like 60%, which is crazy. That's no real statistic, that's just like. The thing I have thought about more as like time has gone on is like adoption. Yeah. Just like I definitely don't want like a kid to come out of my body. Yeah, you know what I mean? But I do believe if like, you know, shit was to pop that leg. If things are going, keep going according to plan, I just, you know, I feel like there's a lot of good kids out there that like need something and like, you know, it'd be nice to offer that to them. Of course, it would be also an adoptive kid. And you know, especially if I am married, like I do think it's just like, you get to a point where like, I mean also, I don't know, it just kind of depends like, I just think that like, you know, you slow down and you're like, oh, maybe we should like take in a little like, and I guess that's what I mean is like in an existential sense, I hear myself founding. I hear myself sounding very 26 in the sense that like, in 10 years I'm sure we'll have like different ways of feeling because that just seems to be what happens as we get older. I feel like that's also why adoption sounds like better to me 'cause it's not like not whatever, do whatever you want. I don't care, have a kid, don't have a kid, adopt, don't adopt, this is not, like this is not me commenting. Yeah, I don't know if anyone's a professional choices at all. But I will say like, you know, like personally, I wouldn't like plan for a kid, like I wouldn't be like, okay, like let's have a baby. It would more so just kind of be like, there's already a kid that's there. And like, hey, let's take him in. Yeah, let's take him in. Yeah. I find myself leaning more towards that energy rather than like planning for a family. Yeah. Like I just like literally want to wear the dress and hang out with my friends. Like that's all I got right now. But I mean, maybe I'll say-- Literally what a, no, that's what a wedding is. Exactly, this I'm saying I want the wedding, but I don't know that I want the marriage. What's the difference between to you a long term like relationship and then like getting married to someone? It's not that there's a difference. Like I guess I'm not coming from a place of like disparaging it. Like I'm not coming from a place of like marriage is stupid. Like I don't want to have marriage because XYZ. I guess I just am coming from a place of like thinking future forward. Like it's not a goal of mine. It's not really something that I aspire to necessarily if it happens. I mean, hey, it'll happen. But like I don't know what, I mean, y'all know my two. Like I'm serving pre-nut realness. So it's like, what are you learning more about the law? I'm sure I'll understand why it would make sense to be like, not conductually, but like literally on paper attached to a person 'cause I know that like they're absolutely laws and like ways that these things come into play. But I don't know. I'm just like, oh no, like I don't know. Like I don't know. Yeah, I don't know about it yet. That might be one of my more Gen Z traits. I, well, no, I think like for me, I guess it's just like, I, nothing's promised, right? And no one who comes into your life is like promised. Yeah, first. In any way. But I just feel like if I'm willing to marry you. Yeah. Then it's like I'm willing to like, like the chips are in. Yeah, well, a hundred percent. You know what I say? I'm like, you shouldn't be, well, not you shouldn't be, but you know, I'm like, I think we are on, well, I don't want to say this. Like we're not, maybe we don't all date to marry 'cause maybe all of us want to marry. But like I sure do think I'm gonna marry every single person I date, the fuck. Like it's just like, if I don't like you enough that I'm not like, low-key on Mario as, then it's like, what are we doing? That's what I mean. Like, no tea. But that goes for every single person I've ever dated. No, that hasn't gone for every single person I've dated. Well, that's gone for every single person I've dated that likes me back. (laughing) Every single person I've dated, I've just been like. I just, I don't know. Well, because the real tea is no shade of great theory, every single person go make you think nobody was shit. Whoa. Every single person that was bed, that's bed-da, which is how we should be doing up, onward, onward. We learn more, we build. You know what I'm saying, we grind. Every single person, and again, it's kind of the same, that's kind of the same process to me where it's like, the person I'm dating currently will in fact have me thinking none of y'all's was shit, because if not, then what would be the point? Well, not what would be the point. You can date people just to date them and like whatever. But like, don't date anyone who's like me and to you, I guess. But you know, in the upgrade theory of it all, I'm just saying that like every single person I date, I'm going for a, everybody else look like a nut, and b, I might marry you. (laughing) And if it ain't giving that, then I'm low-key like it's okay, I'm cool. Yeah, no, well now. I'm cool and thank you, you know? Now it's giving that, before it was not giving that, before I was just kind of like, I think I just like, yeah. Well, I mean, you were dating. The heart octaves getting higher. I mean, you were dating like, as your friend, it's giving like, you were dating all of those people. You were dating kind of like, with the vibe that you had. That's what I mean. It's like, I totally understand how it gets to a point, like when every person is better than the last type shit.

Hold on. - You're in the first step. - Well, and hold on, and hold on. And hold on. 'Cause here's what it's getting. The part that really gets me together about the engagement, the engagement party, the wedding planning, the wedding process. The part that gets me together is the gravity of a wedding. I can't get you all to drop everything for me like that for some random shit. Like, if I literally text you guys, and I was like, hey guys, next week I'm gonna put on a dress and I'm gonna come in horse-drawn carriage, not everyone would be able to make it, and it'd be fair. But if I get married, you guys have to call out of work. And how else am I gonna get all of my like 25 to 35-year-old friends together at the same place to watch me put on a dress other than getting married? - You can, you just have to plan as a head of a wedding. - Oh, wait a minute. - But see, it's just like, the magnitude of the reason don't fit the season. Just to watch me put on a dress, maybe they ain't calling out for that. Some of our friends are gonna have kids by then. - Ooh. - Somebody. Well, 'cause see, I'm telling you, somebody gonna have one. And I'm about to be number one on to you. I'm about to be mad at me. - I'll be number two. - I'm just saying, like we stand here 26, 27 with the fucking attitude, but it's like, there's a lot of kids. No, we're all, you know what I mean? Like my mom will be like, she's like, my mom will always be like, and this is why I never raised my voice too fucking loud, but we'll see. It's my mom was always like, girl, I never wanted a kid. Like that, she's always told me like, growing up, she was never a diva who was like, I'm gonna be a mom. I'm like, I want a kid, like she was always like, oh, I was sure I was never gonna have kids. Baby, some switched. Some switched when she turned 30. - No, and that's what I'm saying. So it's like sitting here cutting up, but then it's like, bitch in five years, like probably one of us gonna have a kid. - Okay, one of us crazy, maybe like 10. - No, I wanna have a kid when I'm like 40. - Okay, bitch. - And by have a kid like adopt someone. Because here's the team. I think like the more I like see like families and like people and like whatever, I don't think like the birth and like family planning experiences ever really like spoken to me. But like sometimes I like see kids that are just like, good, like I'm just like, you're a good cookie bro. Like you're like a good half little cookie. Like you're a good dude, like you mean well, like. - Yeah. And I'm like, I fuck with your vibe, twin. - Yeah. - And then I see their parents who don't give a fuck about them. That shit inspires me to wanna have it like adopt someone or like have a kid. Because I'm like, you're such a good cookie. Like you deserve like a good, like you deserve like a good home to like go to. Or like sometimes I just see kids are like in a bad situation. And I'm like, oh, I wish I could adopt you. - Yeah, 'cause you could. - You could. Well, and then that's what I'm saying. I feel like if I had more of like a when I have more of like a stable home situation. Like, you know, like an actual house. And like, you know, like, hey, maybe I'm not like gonna key key 'til 3 a.m. type shit. Like, and can be like a little like life's a little more like slow tease. I'm like, yeah, I think that'd be really awesome and like fun to like offer that 'cause I'm like, I just do, yeah. There's a lot of like good kids out there that just need some love, some shaping, some swag. It's like, you know, like, and I'd be down for that. It'd be a hard process, but I'm like, hey, if you already year twin like, let's make it crack. - Let's make it crack. - No, and that's real. And you know what, funnily enough, like again, for some reason, I guess I'm all about the execution and not the fallin' through, but the part that was on it, funnily, was just being pregnant. But then the kid, I'm like, I don't know. - I, that's actually the part. - Like, I think I'd be cool up until like six months. And then I'd be like, I just, - No, thank you. - It sounds so uncomfortable. - No, I'm sure it's uncomfortable, but I like the, remember, I'm 26, I'm 26 years old, guys, like I play Sims, okay? Like, nah, I'm baby, I know Bill Nah, okay, so. But I like the, I think it's just the idea. I like when your body does weird shit like that. It's kind of cut. - Well, it is very cut, actually, it's not kind of like the mama, like literally the uterus, like producing a child, like the body is T, like everything. - No, the body is T for being able to assess. - Yeah, like, I think it's so T that like, we can do that. - When I think about it, I'm like, oh, like hanging out, eating like pickles, a peanut butter. - Well, you know, you get the, I don't got the cravings, babe. Like, see what I'm saying? I'm all about the setup, not the execution. - Well, I think also too, you know, it's kind of like the genetics of it all too.
