Fly Aura & Radical Self Acceptance

This episode blends personal storytelling with cultural critique, exploring topics from energy savings and grocery discounts to food habits, mental health, and societal norms. The hosts highlight TXU Energy’s innovative "Free Nights and Cool Summer" plan that offers free nights all year and a 25% summer bonus, appealing to Texas consumers’ actual energy usage patterns. They also promote BJ’s Wholesale Club as a savings destination, citing real-life cost reductions for families and individuals. A central theme is the emotional and psychological toll of societal standards, especially regarding appearance and masculinity, exemplified through critical observations of reality TV shows like *Married at First Sight*. The hosts discuss their own struggles with depression, financial stress, and self-image, using personal anecdotes—like eating Popchips, corn dogs, or Crumble cookies—to illustrate how food becomes both comfort and a mirror for emotional states. They emphasize the need for radical self-acceptance and authenticity, arguing that toxic masculinity and performative behavior in media are harmful and unsustainable. The episode also promotes brands such as Seek Geeks and Smirnoff Ice, connecting them to real experiences and lifestyle choices. Ultimately, the conversation centers on authenticity, personal growth, and the importance of honest, unfiltered self-reflection in an era of performative content and social pressure.

Hi, guys. Like, sorry, y'all, but we like to snack, okay? Okay, listen. We've been, as you know, if you've listened to the podcast, we've been listening to the podcast. The last couple episodes, the sponsors have been hitting so crazy. Like, we've really been in the pocket because Popchips came through. And listen, if you were to genuinely, there has to be somewhere in this world, if you knew me in like high school, please find the footy of me absolutely tearing up some barbecue Popchips. I'm letting you know now. When I go to the airport, I'm letting you know now. No, but honestly, genuinely. Genuinely, it's an honor to be sponsored by brands that we actually love because I'm like, oh, so now we get bags of Popchips. Are you guys out of your mind? Like, what the hell? ASMR Popchip. Like, ASMR barbecue Popchip. Do you know the guy on TikTok who eats food? His name's Mike. Do you know him? And he's like, hey, guys, it's Mike. And then he'll eat like 75. 75 Popchips? Me? Light work, no reaction, 75 Popchips, like right now. Mm. It's the barbecue for me. For me too. Can we look up Mike on TikTok? I'm sorry. Girl, you should have seen us on Tangent Podcast. Just absolutely putting, just, just, just doing too much. Had Taylor absolutely carpal tunnel on both hands. Like, it was just so unfortunate. Mike, anything else? Yeah, like Mike, like. Look up Mike and see if he comes up. His name's Mike. Wait, I forgot that, um, oh my God, wait, I'm not Brick, so I can show you. There you go. This guy, I've never seen him. This my motherfucking boy right here reminds you he's literally like diet rep. Okay, maybe not this one. Okay. No, no, sorry, I was talking to you. I meant he, that one's not my diet rep, but like all the other ones are my diet representation. Like, this is shit I eat and like he eats it and it makes me feel great. Trigger warning, he does eat out of that can of chili and I'm sorry. Can I say sorry for Mike? But trust me, he bodies all that. Thank you, Mike. He eats so efficiently. Yeah, the big bites with the big spoon. I appreciate that. Big bites, big spoon. I also notice he doesn't chew very much. Right, caulk it. He kind of does like a two chew swallow. This is like a swallow. Wait, can you, I'm sorry, stop. Oh, oh, what, what? Girl, this fly mama. Girl, I'm trying to get in there. Let it in, let it in. Wait, stop, can you click on the, um, okay, do you see the one on the right at the top, the topper on the right? Yes, I have to stop joking. I do not have fly aura because these flies, the proof might be in the pudding. Oh, guys, it's Mike. I'm back today and I have mini corn dogs and macaroni and cheese. Thank you guys. If I disappear, but come back, like, literally no. Him putting cheddar cheese so there's like cheese pull. Sorry. Sorry if people don't like eating videos, but see that? Too, too chomp. Can I talk about the hot chicken triple dipper? I did. I think you mentioned it. But is it spicy? Is it crispy? Did you go to Krispy Kreme? Was it crispy? These? I tried it. The mustard? What? I'm dipping my mini corn dogs in Grey Poupon mustard. Thank you. Sorry, that's all you needed. You all get them. I've. That's honestly, stop. I'm locked in with my, what? Do you like a corn dog yourself? Love. Because I was going to say, like, love a corn dog. Well, guys, remember, I haven't had one in so long. Okay, okay, okay. I'm not trying to ask any brands to do anything. But can I say something? If we wanted to welcome in another brand that, like, it's just, like, with or without you being here, I would be eating it. Yeah. Der Wiener schnitzel. Der Wiener. I will eat. I will eat six corn dog minis with Grey Poupon mustard right now. Just like Mike. Right now. Just like Mike. Just like Mike. Yeah. Sorry. I was thinking about when we were talking about, um, fuck, man. Nope. Well. Well. You just like. Um, corn dogs. It made me think about, like, when we went to and just randomly went to Sonic and had a corn dog. That was honestly good. But Sonic is like. Dude, I love Sonic so. Di-di-di-diarrhea. Di-di-diarrhea. Oh. No. You're strong. Not for me. Different stomachs, different things. The hard part for me about Sonic is, in my experience at least, and some of my close colleagues' experiences, it's not very consistent between the locations. No. Sonic corn dog I had was, like, not great. Oh. But I've had good ones there before. Great. You do. But it just depends on where. You. You actually don't need to do anything. But you could go to Wiener Schnitzel because they have perfected the corn dog. And they do have the mini ones. And also the chili cheese fries are actually, like, salted in a way that only, like, crumble could do, genuinely. Like, I don't know what the flavor profile is on that, but it's just, like, it's, it's biomechanical. Yeah. I literally. Are you okay? I'm sorry. I was looking up this place that has really good corn dogs in WeHo that I was gonna tell you about. But then, there was, like, something brown on my phone when I tell you. It's that shit. Well. It's the foreshadowing of that shit. Well. The way it's fucking melted chocolate from the cannoli cookie we ate on fucking Patreon, I'm so mad. That is probably, like, oh, just smashed up against my back. Like, I shat up my fucking back. Smashing pumpkins. The, like, literally smashing shatting. Smashing pumpkin. Which, shout out Patreon, because, guys, we're back in our Patreon baggiana, in the sense that, like, and I, we already said this on Patreon, but if you know, if you've been with us for a long time, we've had the Patreon. And we used to post a bunch of bonus episodes there. Which we still post bonus, but we would be, like, in time with it. Yeah. Like, we would post them, like, at the same time of our episodes. Yeah. And the real tea is, like, just very candidly and honestly, is maybe the time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, the time has been absolutely, just, with all the appreciation and the gratitude for, like, the growth, because it has been so crazy, and as you all know, we keep saying it, but, like, our lives have actually changed so nasty, like, I don't think we've even fully processed it all the way yet. Yeah. But with that, like, girl, that we were bus club, another club, as you all know, you know, like, the touring and everything. Yeah. And with that, like, we didn't have as much time to kind of just, like, film more, like, bonus things than we wanted to. Mm-hmm. But since we just had this two-week break, you know, we sat down for two seconds, like, we actually got to think a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe no flights, no nothing for the foreseeable future, like, we are doing some inventory right now, you know what I mean? And trying to kind of, like, take stock of what we're doing, see what we wanted, very, like, yeah. Yeah. Very Apple presentation, like, oh, and da-da-da-da-da. So, all that to be said, like, our, you know, prioritizing and just kind of, like, seeing everything and really trying to get back on our P's and Q's is the Patreon, the P's for Patreon. So, just so you all know, we're going to have bonuses over there again, if you remember the old days, like, that's very much the vibe, so. Yeah. Yeah. Like, the proper key, like, spill the tea. Right. Right. But this time, we ate Crumbles cookies last week, so that's last week's episode. If you want to watch that for whatever reason, it's a link in bio. Like, Crumble didn't turn me into the Grinch. Link in bio. Like, I'm sorry. Oh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No, you're real. They actually played, they, they. They just play. You all get on your fucking phone and you play. Yeah. Which is okay, actually. just this being the third episode i'm talking about it but i'm just like genuinely and the video is posted now on the ute so you can see my actual in real time reaction to eating garbage like actually eating garbage cookie garbage cookie garbage and i think that actually like i i and i'm not trying to be funny i truly think like my body kept score yeah because when i saw that crumble this time your body took a screenshot yeah and i'm not even like a hater like i'm not somebody to be like oh that like i don't like it like i don't like that i don't like that like but then i feel like i will say it's like when you eat something really bad that's how i feel about tomatoes because like growing up my dad used to like we would always have with every meal my dad would always like make us have a side salad which is good yes but i really really did not like the cherry tomatoes because he would put whole ones of just like whole cherry tomatoes raw right in the center and then he would put whole cherry tomatoes raw in the center and then he would put whole cherry tomatoes raw in the center and then he would put whole cherry tomatoes raw in the center and then he would put whole cherry tomatoes raw in the center and then he would put whole cherry tomatoes raw in the center and then he would like a salad and so like growing like a salad and so like growing like a salad and so like growing up i hated them i would literally spit up i hated them i would literally spit up i hated them i would literally spit them into my napkin like i hate cherry them into my napkin like i hate cherry them into my napkin like i hate cherry tomatoes down and like low-key now like i love heirloom tomatoes if i can like salt and pepper them you know what i mean and just like season them a little bit but like i i love a tomato sandwich like that's my thing right now but it's one of those things whereas you have a bad experience with a food dough like that shit over and over again too yeah that shit like low-key makes you scared like you start like the anticipation kind of ruins the experience a little bit yeah which is unfortunate because the hot cheeto confection i and i just it's dead the horse is dead and like pita the horse is dead like it's just like whatever but like jesus christ almighty genuinely um oh so yeah tail oh the pup is the place that has corn dogs in weho tail oh the pup and it literally looks like like dogs go look it up tail oh the pup you have to see what it the stand looks like because it's actually funny as fuck because it's oh wait i've seen this before yeah i've yeah i drove past this yeah but they have like gluten oh they have corn dogs and stuff free yeah they're like very inclusive yeah okay so anyways i want to put you on because uh i think shout out lindsey rem again like thank you taking it with the wrecks um but she went there and she said it was really good oh and i trust her down yeah belita because we'd be like foodie the house down together um with that being said that part with that being said because it's just honestly like y'all don't want to do that no more just kidding oh that specific i thought you meant like a colorful fun campy atmosphere because i'm like they don't want to do that either no but also like tail like death to modernism is that what you'd call that probably like death to say geronimo no oh i mean that's like long live you know what i'm saying i'm just like death to the like beige like yeah the beige aesthetic fucking concrete like i'm just like over it y'all yeah i'm i'm ready for the renaissance so whoever wants to set it off like let's just go ahead and set it off make it pop vibes been awkward as hell make it drop but they're not gonna be awkward anymore because it's fall dude i'm fucking litty titty bro i cannot wait to pop my fucking dude the way my depression i haven't been depressed in actually like fucking 5 000 years real that like honestly what this is what happened the post like all of my life until like that move honestly was like the straw that broke the camel's back yes because after that dude the rot the fucking chud max that i had bro you the chud max too though that i entered it like low-key kind of scared me a little bit because i was like wait what the fuck's going on but then i had to i just had to like go back to my roots which is like when you're feeling depressed as shit you just gotta lean in and lean in all the way i mean like it's it's but the only way through is through so you gotta do some shit that like hey normal you when you're feeling yourself you wouldn't do but when you're depressed as shit you just gotta run that shit like when i tell you i had such a crazy depression meal bitch it would have got well i'll tell you guys about it which is mind you i'm like on day two of my like depressive episode it's like this was my like two-day rot where i like low-key ghosted the fuck out of everyone and i felt obviously god awful if you're one of my friends listening to this i'm so sorry but i actually had to ghost like fucking everyone and like go offline as shit had been like horizontal as fuck and genuinely like shout out having a dog because i feel like the only thing that made me get up like genuinely was like the fact that i was like oh i have a dog and i need to like you know take them outside for a second but dude i was just on some bullshit literally watching fucking youtube slop bullshit yes then i had this dude erv's burger yes love her yeah it's so fucking good but amazing it's actually incredible but their shakes are so fucking good and i don't even fuck with milkshakes like that because low-key the lactose intolerance that happens milkshakes though

i can only have a milkshake if i'm going to be near a bathroom for the next 24 fucking hours like you milkshake from wienersensel driving home 90 driving home at 90 degrees whatever um because the way

if you're black sound off below if you have yes or no we need to like a black dad thing i need to know right now we need to because oh my god that shit so like now i feel like i just have to do it to my palate or it's like i still love a like sweet vinaigrette though i love a sweet vinaigrette too because it's really not like a sesame seed vinaigrette or something of that nature i do like a sweet vinaigrette but like i will say that i would prefer savory but honestly it simply just has to do with like that trauma and sweet potatoes bro sweet and banana bread oh my god i have hella sweet potatoes in my fridge oh yeah see the adhd too sister because you know the leftovers go in front and then all the veggies in the back and then i'm literally like the sweet potato shriveled up in the

functioning has been going off a little more has been firing a little more maybe i attribute that to the adderall but the when i was like in the middle of my chud maxing i saw um shout out brock your body if y'all follow her she's like she's a chef on um and she's not just an instagram chef but she posts a lot of her recipes on instagram and she has like a website and stuff but she posted this rice crispy treat and i don't know why it made me sentient from my like doom scrolling but i like that ass made it i love like on the spot like love i like instacarted all the groceries and just like made it right and it made me sentient i don't know why it was really good it was the one with the golden grams and the chocolate wow yeah it sounds really good yeah so like shout out shout out um so like yeah oh so like yeah like so like yeah guys can i talk about married at first sight are you guys gonna be mad at me i do want to watch a little bit so can you not give like major spoils spoilers i'm gonna just don't tell me names or something i'm not gonna tell you names i'm gonna do like big outline stuff which is like watching married at first off well the prompt is already was it itchy the prompt is already do they ask them what kind of people they like yes so okay this is what i think makes married at first sight more tea than like love is blind and like the other experimental shows oh the matchmakers actually are matchmakers for real okay so like that's why i feel confident about allowing them to marry each other because i feel like the people who come honest about like what they actually want and shit like you can see the couples that you're like oh yeah you're gonna make it and like there's like there's like some couples that i'm like oh yeah are they are the people still married from that show yeah i'm sure whoa um but genuinely oh my god dude like i feel like obviously i don't interact that much with like straight men of this generation but i feel like you know are they our age some of them really some of them younger than us bro yeah what am i talking about i guess we're that age where it's like yeah yeah but like i but i don't know you can kind of like tell though yeah because it's it is really interesting after watching the ultimatum and seeing like the how the young kids were versus like the older people who have like been ready to get married it's like the interactions were different but with married at first sight the way that i'm like oh my god we have a fucking problem very fucking badly and it's like yes i know that we've had like the male loneliness epidemic and whatever the fuck have you epidemic whatever's going on with men since the beginning of the cosmos since they walked on the scene yes i do understand that but like specifically with this fucking generation but watching the ultimatum and then going from this show to watching married at first sight and seeing how some of the men act i'm genuinely like where the fuck is my like genuinely i'm so serious like holy fucking shit dude and like some of the women on that show were like very strong-willed very like bitch i'm gonna like talk my shit yeah but like some of the other women i mean there's this one girl on there who i have so much respect for because the finale is tonight like the final episode and then i think also the finale results are tonight watch the second i go dude you have to like low-key we should like i would love to do like a recap if you end up watching it because so much shit happened that like loki i haven't been like gagged by like the anthropology of tv in so long but like the matchmakers because the thing that i fuck with about like fuck with like on this show is the fact that like they also take them through like marriage counseling and like couples therapy interesting and it's really like because i feel like it helps the couples like really develop in a period of time and i think that's a really good thing to do and i think but there's this one guy on there genuinely i've been hearing the rumblings i keep forgetting his name but i've been hearing rumblings that there's genuinely there's multiple guys mind you right there's probably at least four right damn how many couples are there six oh really well just kidding i think there's seven jeez that's hella couples six seven um anyways with that being said like dead ass bro some of them need to fucking die though like i'm not kidding hearing this and there's this one guy in particular that genuinely like has to go like i don't know where he's gonna go but he has to fucking go because this is the this is my gripe i'll let you know what my fucking gripe is right now the hierarchy shit yeah and more importantly men being insecure yes of course yeah the root of all evil men being insecure period men fucking taking their insecurity out on women and making it our fucking punishment to go through shut the fuck up shut the fuck up that's literally what i want to say to him is shut the fuck up you're fucking chopped you're fucking chopped shit you're chopped as shit you think you're the fucking prize you're fucking chopped i think so like face card wise face card wise like to me he's not turning my head yeah you know and i'm like he's not ugly yeah i mean it doesn't matter i'm just asking for the no no like he's not ugly you know what i mean yeah like he's very much so like i would forget his face like he's not like yeah very like memorable per se i feel like most of the guys on the show were pretty like normal looking people which is like you know love yeah like none of them are like very like oh like you you know what i mean that just reminded me i'm sorry go ahead no i'll say i'll say i was just gonna say that i saw like a look smacks her in public sorry that like fully just reminded me saw this kid mind you kid didn't know though at first because he was so buffed up like he was hella but like it was like so buffed that like when we walked by when we were with andrew like when we walked by like we were like whoa like he's like like huge just like hella huge type shit or like at top like he you know he's hitting arms is what i'll say yeah um sorry i don't know why that well no that just had me thinking about just like men but like yeah then he like looked up and he was probably like eight probably not even 18 probably like 17 like he was like a kid like he looked up we were like oh fuck he's like a child like he had like acne and everything like he was very much just like teen kid yeah then it hit me like bitch you're probably and i don't want to make assumptions because not to say that like working out means you're fucking like a giga chad or whatever they call that like a gigabyte but like a fucking loser like no but that shit had me like oh because i forget like the rhetoric and like the culture that like kids are mimicking is this like oh bitch we finna like hella like hella and then this old lady that was like sitting next to them like tapped him on the shoulder and like i think she was like oh your body tea or something because he was all like oh thank you like thank you like whatever and then he like walks back over to his dad and he was like yeah like like she died at it i'm like girl dude genuinely that's the fucking problem the state of men this is the problem right now and boys and boys dude and genuinely this is the shit that makes me so sad and like that's why i mean like fucking radical self-acceptance is the only thing that fucking matters i'm so serious once you release yourself from the shackles and the prisons of like they're like fucking oh my god smash the mirrors in your house genuinely like that's what i like when i was talking about in rain's episode where i said like i'm not gonna do this i'm not gonna do this i'm not gonna do this i'm not gonna i genuinely shaved my head because i was staring at myself for too long for real like the self-centering that we do like it's genuinely something that i think we don't practice enough of like removing yourself from like the center of things i'm not saying that like you can't have like a sense of self and like want to look good and feel good because i think that's so fucking important and i think that like you know like if you as a guy or a girl or whatever like if genuinely you know working out makes you feel good working out makes me feel good like there's so many things and like if buying like makeup at sephora makes you feel good and doing like a full two-hour beat makes you feel like yourself please by all means do that as a man if you have like a 10-step skincare routine fucking period like and i mean that i'm not being like facetious when i say that this episode is brought to you by txu energy for the

think if you i don't know the way in society we reward people and punish people for genuinely just not being attractive is actually so fucking crazy yeah and i mean like since we're like you know just nose diving i mean we're here and to just like the early 2000s of like the fucking we're so here we're so here like the body policing the fucking like everyone like having so much shit to say and just like the rebranding of it all is so annoying but watching it play out in specifically reality tv in media with normal people bro like these aren't people who are like clickbait fucking idiots you know what i mean who are like literally like fucking clav like banging a hammer honestly in the wrong part of their face if you're fucking asking me but genuinely it's like because if you tap that shit maybe a little harder up here it would rewind your shit correctly but like genuinely it gags the fuck out of me and it makes me feel so sad because as we say always to be cringe is to be free and honestly like let's go ahead and put that on a fucking shirt like i don't know if someone like already has that as merch but genuinely i'm not kidding i just remember when i was like in high school and i felt so like insecure all the fucking time and like i don't know just constantly comparing yourself and shit like that and i'm like oh my god i don't know what to do with this shit i don't know what to do with this shit bro and literally the way men punish themselves and punish each other bro like you think i give a fuck when a man's like commenting like oh like i don't know some hateful shit under my post like genuinely shut the fuck up i don't fucking care i will never ever you like you take up zero real estate in my brain you know what i mean but it's like the way that like they're so easily fucking punished by the people around them and like the people they think are so fucking cool like i think of all those holy shit you want to see the ugliest group of men i've ever seen in my whole entire life like genuinely they fucking shattered my phone these men were so fucking ugly that they shattered my fucking phone screen i had to take it to verizon and ask them to replace it they won it because they said the way that this got shattered isn't covered by insurance so i had to buy a so fucking ugly do you want to know all the men standing outside of andrew tate's fucking trial bitch did you see all the men that they were like let him go let him genuinely when i tell you bitch that's what i mean babe that's what i mean babe those motherfuckers broke my phone talk about the ugliest group of men i've ever seen genuinely right straight fucking there, bitch. you also watching married at first sight to bring it all the way the fuck back men honestly like genuinely i would say the majority of straight men it's just really like i'm sorry like i'm going like full misandrist i like really don't give a fuck at this point because like and i wish i saw it so i could jump in because genuinely the way that like this is the part that gags me is one of they do these group dinners so like they'll have group dinners as couples so like the couples will like low-key oppress each other and be like oh well yeah you're saying that but like we saw how you were acting here so do they live together they live in the same complex oh yeah so it's giving like the love is blind where like they all move in together one two yeah and they think they have like a month and a half together yeah like they're because they're married so like they got married and they're like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like i'm like they're not just doing it like yes they're doing it for like the clickbait but also it's like right these couples technically on paper should work because of the matchmaking what's like the um what's like the what's the word i'm looking for like the reason that a lot of people like you know how love is blind they'll be like well because people will look at me and like make assumptions like that's usually kind of like the theme of why people come i would say that the like they're done with the yeah they're done with the dating they don't you know what i mean like they're literally ready for commitment wow but i feel like in love is blind we're are you ready for commitment when you're saying like you don't need to ready to date they're ready to date they're saying they don't need to see someone to fall in love but you're ready to get engaged because you have to propose right right but this is like well actually you get married on love is blind at the end you will you decide you try you try you give it your best shot there's a lot more like freedom to just be like no i'm off well yeah but this is yeah but this you literally the first time you meet them is on your wedding day well because if the intention is to be married then there goes your wedding yeah and there's like you know arranged marriages have been happening for they still happen now you know what i mean and i feel like the people who go on there are like i'm just ready for my person well yeah because marriage is something that is thought about like that sometimes yeah we're about being like married than it is even really about who it's to exactly and i feel like the myth of like your person you know what i mean like that is a myth like yeah it definitely is a myth your person like you know like you kind of just like exactly like so many people are your person so it's just like yeah to commodify it to like a person it's crazy it's crazy but i feel like the people who come on their earnest hard on their sleeve like this is why i've haven't found luck in dating yes this is why like you know and i think the matchmakers as long as they're honest do a good job yeah that's their job that's their job science but i feel like the guys be saying shit and the girls be saying for real shit oh yeah and then like it's tradition as is tradition and then like when you know like rubber hits the fucking shove they're all like oh wait so what kind of thing me just like when i need to just like watch it but like what kind of things like is the description that they're giving character traits or physical traits everything oh wow like they're literally like they'll for example there will be someone who's like okay why hasn't dating worked for you in the past i've been cheated on okay and they go through like your trauma you know like i've been in abusive relationships i've been cheated on like i have trauma with like people not being loyal and then the guy will be like i've never been ever cheated i'm super loyal like right all the things whatever you know what i mean and they'll be like okay well what time do you like to go to bed right and then the girl will be like i like to go to bed well that's tea and then yeah and then they'll also be like how much do they need to make and then the girls will be like they need to make or they need to do whoa their job needs to look like yeah and then but then they like press you matchmaking yeah because then like you know there was a girl who was like she was like i want him to like animals and like i want him to be like a dog and the matchmaker was like well what if he has a cat and she was like i'll take a pill and he's like well i'm holding you to that oh because it's like you know you can't just like say some shit because then it's like okay no well if you want them to do their job the most yeah because then it's like then they match you with someone who has a cat and it's awkward because you don't want to take the pill right you know what i mean so it's like they can only do as well with as honest as you're going to be of course but i feel like you know the specific flavor of the men season specifically the one guy that i'm thinking of and honestly why i'm like then you deserve to fucking be alone like genuinely because like i think it's it honestly all roads lead back to this greed you know like i really do think that some men view partnership or like who they're married to as an extension of themselves as like you know this is my wife or like the trophy of it just kind of like the commodification of woman and not actually viewing her as like this is my person who i'm in partnership with yeah but like say uh like oh like you know like i don't know even like them being like oh yeah she's so pretty like man it makes sense with the times yeah it makes so much sense with the time yeah i just like i don't know it really just breaks my heart for all honest yeah totally period because i'm like yeah this is being televised but i'm like the fucking war and atrocities that women go through when it comes to dating men and just like like just like horrible shit dude like and honestly i don't know it's so crazy because you never know what like men are up to yeah and just like how like crazy they are i don't know dude it's like so fucking weird like i mean like i was just like never believe a man that's like at the bottom line at the end of the day like i just i don't know i mean as somebody who is believing a man currently well i think no girl don't fall i'm talking personally i'm just saying like i think even just the like the mechanics of the show like lends itself to another challenge which is like i like as a girl who like dates men like totally i 100 understand where you're coming from like the trust is a little bit tougher to come by and it takes a little more like time so the idea of just showing up and being like this is my man is like whoa well and that's also you know what that's really important silver lining is i think the nice thing is there is as of right now unless some shit happens tonight and i get fucking gagged out of my wig there is out of my wig like literally yak out of my wig bitch like i don't fucking know like you know what i mean where someone like no i imagined it like they got and i've been watching drag race but thank god i'm starting let's go ahead and mark the time stamp right now it only took us two years yeah well and you know what because i got with and it's okay yeah i know because yeah i'm with right a girl who's literally like we're watching drag race for breakfast lunch and dinner but he i have the in-home accountability don't worry about me i'm on my way i'm i'm on my way to the top mark the day um with that being said hi can you and lee there's a couple that i'm like y'all gonna take it all the way to the tippity top if i have anything to do yeah totally and well back to the group dinners the nice thing is i think is like them being able to call each other out like some of the men will just be like bitch you're being yeah you know and then when the therapists are there baby clocking the shit out of people thank god why the fuck would you fuck you know yeah yeah yeah totally totally and i feel like that's important like that level of accountability i feel like it is a little more earnest but i think it showcases the state of relationships and dating so very accurately i mean i think you know in the past there's been very clickbaity you know married at first sight situation age of attraction that was just a waste and praying for a season two i'm not even gonna want you they probably are and if y'all want to do the reunion over here like we'll just like set up a bunch of chairs y'all don't want me i'll get ages so i'll get if you didn't act accordingly i will pop your butt so well crazy well i'd literally be like um you yo daddy son because you can't be 60 doing that you can't be 60 doing 21 year old shit it just ain't even fair it ain't even fair to honoring your life experience and the wisdom that you should have gained during these 40 years i'm letting you know right now i'm sorry if you're 65 single never been married never had kid never nothing and you got holes in your jeans tighter than mine i can see your your ash on your knees i'm gonna need you to hang it up for me baby what i'm gonna need though in terms of my side of the grass is I'm gonna need a radical self-acceptance from all the young ones on that show too. Because I know you're not looking in 60-year-old eyes thinking that they're 33. And y'all tried it. All I want you to know right now, it is that bad out there. It is. And listen, all I'm saying is, you see a 60-year-old find shit, be like, that's 60-year-old find shit, y'all. And I'm a handle. Don't try to sit here and tell me he's 35 because that don't mean nothing to me. No, that gaslighting though, I mean, we simply can't by the hands alone. Well, also like young hoeing of like being 24 and seeing a 60-year-old and thinking like they're probably like 42. Like the furthest age you can think of is like 43. Like you're like, yeah, obviously you must be like 42, 43. Yeah, well, I'm like you fucking, he's cashed out his IRA, babe. Like that's what we're talking. I'm talking literally when I sat down in my financial meeting and we were like setting up accounts and he was like, yeah, typically you wouldn't cash this out until you're 60. Well, yeah. I was like, baby, I don't know if I'm here today. That's what they say. That's what they say about those things. I'm here today. And they'd be like, if you touch it with your left hand, then they're going to take 50%. But if you hold it with your right hand, it's only 10. I'm like, perfect. You know what I mean? I'm here today. I'm letting you know. I'm here right now today. That's what I mean. So that's why, honestly, that's why I booked my trip to Japan. Right. Wasn't planning on going to Japan. And wasn't planning on. No, but you should. No. I mean, you're going, but like I have. There's no there will be no regret for making that decision. No, no regret at all. That's what I mean. I'm doing it now. It's going to be absolutely amazing. I'm doing it really. I know in our late 20s, it's like, damn, like I want to travel more. But in my own home state, I spend more than I make every month. So I don't know why she thinks it's going to happen. Um, well, how about I won't get winner shits on the way home? Oh, if that means I can go to Italy this summer. Right. Having on Italy. Just like the spending. Shout out rocket money. Shout out rocket. Like genuinely like y'all gather. No, my rocket money is when they do unusually large. Okay. Is it unusual now? Unusually large transaction detected. Is it unusual, though? Guys, let's just write the panopticon. Yeah, the panopticon. Everybody relax. Kill the cop in your head. Kill the fucking money, kill the cop in your mind. You because I'm like, listen, guys, like, I get it unusually large, really unusual. I'm like, okay, um, drag name unusually large transaction. Literally can't talk about finances too long because then I'd be like this, right? And when I carry the one, I know I'm only right here today. No, right. I'm only right here today. I'm only right here today and I'll let you know that like honestly, I'll be here tomorrow. Where's that? If these are here tomorrow, I'll be here tomorrow. Well, I'll be here and again, in the conversation of just like the summer blues because like, yeah, and you're so you're actually so real for that. I'm writing that down because in therapy, like listing how I was feeling and I was like, oh, okay, like if you add to carry three, like they would call this, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, like say they would probably tell you that, like, I don't know. You got. But but like, like you got mail, but like actually not being able to sit down in a way that like, do you think you can run faster? Like, I think I can run faster. Like windexing like the same window every day. So I feel like active. Like, I don't know. I'm not sure why I said that. But anyway, all that to say, the only thing that like I feel personally is going to like cure for real is actually like, you know, the last couple mornings, not the last couple mornings, but like there's been like two mornings in the last week where the air was like crisp. Be like, you went to crispy cream. It wasn't crispy. And that like not to put too much pressure on like Mother Nature, but that had me like, oh, just kidding. Yeah, just kidding. Like there's a reason. Yeah. And there's a will. And there's a will. Is it itchy? It's itchy. One being one being brushed by a blanket. Six being sat on a fire ant. Seven. Okay, that's pretty. That's pretty itchy. No, bitch. It's been pretty itchy. No, it's been itchy. It's actually been like. It's been itchy as a bitch. Well, a bitchy. No, it's been itchy as. Yeah, it's been itchy. Like a seven. Yeah. A seven. But I will say once fall. Right. Once falls in full swing. I'm. Well, it's a damn near here. I forced it. I literally forced it down the swing up the baby. I've had two full home goods bags resting against my couch since August 7th. So I'm like, Oh, I don't know what's going on. I'm like, Oh my God. I don't know what's going on. I'm like, I don't know what's going on. two air conditionings and keelan was staying with me so it was like double the air conditioning time because like i usually would just like you know shut up um so personally i am gonna lay butt i think it for the rest of the summer until that new billing cycle comes just to make sure i'm not giving up my car yeah not sure yet yeah and i did forget to cancel my gas and power i did i honestly shut up because i think that's what happened to me too and then remember how i didn't have gas because i didn't know you had to pay for gas wake that up you want to know what honestly propelled me into my depression saying goodbye to my apartment it just happened way too fucking fast it happened me not even living there but i'm like it did happen really it just happened really fast really chaotically and like genuinely my property manager shout out crystal like she is genuinely the like the best i love her so much she's my goat and like she kept texting me and she was like i'm like i'm gonna miss you so much like we're gonna miss you like she's just so sweet and like she literally even texted like we were texting about something but she was like i miss you like she's just so sweet and like they were like the sweetest people like yeah totally totally but we like did the walkthrough everything was great and her and i just like kiki'd for a while and like talked and then i went downstairs because my neighbors made me um enqueue food and like to-go plates literally so like the food was so good no i know they get down it was literally so good and we were just like talking and they were like telling me about all the places they've lived in la and they were like yeah we were planning on only living here for two years but they've been there for eight now wow and i was just like it was so special and i felt like i hadn't like properly grieved like finally like 100 like i don't know i don't think like because i was just kind of you know moving too fast yeah process anything that was happening i felt like oh shit now i don't need to go back to my old place and i don't need to keep like you know what i mean it just like finally hit me that like wait i like don't live there anymore and i don't know it was like it was really hard it was really hard yes um and yeah it it really like low-key made me depressed as fuck yes because yeah i like moved there when i was 22 yeah and now i'm fucking 28 because there's like a real like what's going on with you and what's going on with you and what's going on with you and what's going there and
