Planning Coachella & Getting Married

The episode opens with a satirical critique of the "Lemonati" — a shadowy industry force that has long promoted lemons over limes, even shaping popular music and branding. Seven Up responds by launching a lime-lemon soda, symbolizing a cultural shift and a "flip the sip" movement. This theme is mirrored in the personal narratives of the group members, who share their struggles with physical discomfort, such as cramps and sciatica, and mental barriers to starting fitness routines like running. Despite their active lifestyles, members admit to being overwhelmed by the pressure to perform, highlighting that progress is not linear and requires patience and self-compassion. The discussion evolves into a broader exploration of self-care, community, and personal values — from fitness to fashion to long-term goals like marriage and family. A key takeaway is the importance of listening to one’s body and honoring personal journeys, rather than external expectations. The episode also touches on lifestyle choices, like running with friends or choosing sustainable fashion, and ends with a lighthearted yet reflective look at future plans, including weddings, travel, and personal growth. Ultimately, it balances humor and vulnerability to celebrate individuality, resilience, and the power of shared support.

- For decades, a shadowy organization called The Lemonati has kept lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Look around, lemon-forward sodas, even lemon-forward songs. We ran the tracks, slowed them down, reversed them, and squeezed out the truth. ♪ All hail the lemon ♪ - That's lemon propaganda right there. But now, 7UP is fighting back with their new lime-lemon soda. Join the 7 uprising. Flip the sip. - Mr. Monopoly here. Miss me? Monopoly is back at McDonald's with millions of prizes.

Shout out Oddly because they literally made us these like super sweet, like custom upstairs neighbor shirts. They are so cute. And just like love Oddly, so. - Love you guys so much. - Wanted to say shout out to Oddly because that was like really, really sweet, so. - And those are like the divas as fuck. So thank you guys so much. - Those are the divas. So I just wanted to say that out loud. - Shout out. Back to what we were fucking talking about. - Oh, she might've popped my butt. - Why was I mad? - Well, why were you mad? - No, I'm kidding. - 'Cause Dom called me lazy. - That's not true. First off- - Dom called me lazy because I told her that I get cramps in my arms and in my chest, which I went to a doctor for a physical. I got four vials of blood drawn. - Oh, I need to do that. - Isn't it so nice? How easy it is to get blood drawn now? Anyway, I went to the doctor, got a physical, was there to get a dermatologist recommendation. That's a whole other thing. And then I told her that I get cramps sometimes like in my chest and like around my shoulders. And she was like, "I feel like it's like fine. Like if you stretch and it gets better." And I was like, "Period." And then I said that to Dom just now. And she was like, "Well, it's 'cause you're a lazy bitch." - Sorry. I appreciate that, thank you. - I'm not saying sorry to you. I did not call you a lazy bitch. Those words did not leave my mouth. - Okay, well, they were other words that were synonyms some might say. - I literally said, and this is true to me, maybe it applies to you, I don't know. I was giving options, but I was like, maybe if you're sitting around for long periods of time- - Okay. - Like sometimes your muscles can cramp up. That's very normal. - Yeah, it's like you lazy, sloppy bitch. That's what I just told them you said. - So I didn't call you that. - Well. - And then I said, I'm not saying that as like, I'm the most active fucking bitch. - Well, you didn't say that part because here's the thing my friend has, well, you've been training very hard. - I have sciatica. - And let's not invalidate that. - Guys, I've gotten faster. Does anyone want to talk about that? - Yes, I'm sure you've gotten faster and you've gotten stronger, I'm sure. - I have. But also I've been struggling with sciatica or scatica. - The sciatica nerve. - I'm probably saying it wrong. I don't really give a fuck. I've decided it's called sciatica. So that's what I'm going to call it. - Right. - And yeah, it's kind of been like shitty, but I've also been stretching a lot and just like doing other exercises to combat it. But like I, you know, it's fucking annoying and I like can't, you know, the way I lift weights looks different these days. Shout out Nicole. - Shout out. - But I went on a run. I'm really burping a lot. And I'm sorry, it's that Diet Coke that I chugged before we started. Um, I went on a run with the Pookster. - Love. - And I don't know why, because my girlfriend's been like, I like, I want to run with you. And I'm like, why? Like, why do you want to run with me? And she was like, I just feel like it'd be sweet if we like ran together and it's just like something you like to do. And I was like, I don't want to fucking run with you. And so when we first started dating, I told her she could never run with me. But anyways, we did go on a run at our place that we like to run at. - Right. - And we ran two miles. And typically, I was running like, I don't know, like a 14, 15 minute mile. Guess what our average pace was? 12:39, that part. - She's trying to like get us to warm up to running or something. - Yeah, Maya, do you want to go on a run tomorrow morning? - Yeah, we're going on a run tomorrow morning. - Guys, you guys always tell me like less than 24 hours before and you know I won't do that. - How much time? - Like at least like two days. - Okay. - Do you want to be in a run club group chat? - Next week? - Well, because, yeah, maybe next week. I'm just like having really bad eczema, so it's like not good for running right now. - Okay. - Because like the air hits your skin and it makes it dry. - Yeah, I would, okay. - But yeah, you guys can tell me before that. But like, you know, I know you guys have your group chats and like all those things. And the only one that we're all in is like the pod group chat. And then they like do other extracurriculars outside of that. So it's just like, yeah. - Because has Maya ever been interested-- - Well, no, tell them and tell them how you texted me last night and you were like, you're probably cramping because you're a lazy ass bitch. - Do you know what I texted last night? Do you want to actually know what happened last night? That like, actually, if we want to like pull the receipts up? - What happened last night? - Oh, maybe you just didn't look it up. I'm pretty sure. - Well, let's be sure. - Let me check the receipts. - Let's be sure. - Let me check the receipts before I-- - No, read them the text where you call me lazy. - Okay, when you open TikTok, that ain't fair. It's like, that's not a text, you see. - Mm-hmm, that's what I thought. - That's what I think. - We have a group chat, obviously, Maya, Dom, Savannah. Those are the three in the group chat. I saw the Drewski skit and sent it in our group chat. - On Upstairs Nave? - Mm-hmm. - Well, I'm sorry. - 11:33 PM. - Guys, I'm sorry, I was dealing with eczema last night. - Well, no, 11:33 PM, I was unfortunately already asleep. - That's when you sent me the video. - No, that doesn't seem right. - That's when you sent me. - The times don't seem right. The times don't seem right. - 11:33 PM is when Maya had sent me the Erika Kirk Drewski video that I had already texted previously in the group chat, maybe 8:30 PM. - That's fair. Well, at 8:30 PM, I was watching "Sinners." Thank you. - Can't control that. - Uh-uh. - Thank you. Well, and clock my zhuzh. I was in "Sinners" having a panic attack. - Thank you. - And just like thinking about, you know what I mean, like the power of music and blues, so. - And yeah, and vampires, of course. - No, but unfortunately, I will probably not join you guys for a run tomorrow because it is too late notice. Like I genuinely, because mind you, like this is y'all what, six or seventh, like fucking two miles. - We have a rant together. - Well, y'all six or seven, like, you know, y'all work out as shit. It's like it's your friend who gets cramps 'cause she sits for too long. I need more time. I need more time than like 12 hours to like get my body into the vibe of like putting on like a bust down micro short. - That is fair. - And just to clarify, we've been on our individual journeys. - I know that. - Zaz been going to run clubs outside. - No, no, and it's not even shade. None of that is shade actually, guys. Like don't misinterpret. Like we never make those kinds of jokes, but like genuinely here's what the real tea is, is like you bitches are active. And then you come to me, sitting too long and getting cramps, girl. - That's not true. - You come to me. Well, then you come to me and you say, "Well, why don't we just run like like a half marathon? It would be easy." To you, to you, because all you have to do is like ramp up the training. For me, I'd have to start from the couch, you see. - I'm starting-- - From the cramping, you see. - My God. - So it's like, so it's just like, I just like, it's more process than just getting up. - Guys, guys. - It is. - Send this to a video. Send this video. - Send this video. You know what? Usually, usually I'm the one who's like this, but now I'm on Adderall and I'm just like-- - Oh my God, you are on Adderall. - So I'm literally like this. - Dude, miss my Adderall. - Guys, oh, I'll get into that in a second. Anyways, to finish up this conversation, to finish up this conversation real quickly, send this video to 10 of your friends who get cramping. - Who get, well, and guys, make sure you're getting your cramps checked out because, you know, I don't know. But like, like, genuinely, like, it would, you know, like, it would just, again, it would give a couch to half. - Again, I'm serving you couch to half. - No. - Mama. - You would've been serving his couch to half six months ago. - I'm serving you couch to half because I haven't ran. Literally the last run that I went on, like, was dead ass January. - Well, because you just said you ran and your pace was up. - Yesterday. - Well, and here go the fake news, but go ahead. - But I ran on the treadmill. - And you guys ran together already. - I haven't ran with Saab. - Yeah, you invited me to run, wow. - But we didn't go. - Oh. - We didn't go because, well, I'll tell you. Guys. - Well, all I'm saying is it's not even shade. I'm honestly like trying to uplift you in the sense that like you guys are already girls in motion. You give us our devotion. Do you know what I'm saying? - Yeah. - I am not in motion. - Yes, Maya. - So my first two ma would have to be walking, you see. - That's fine. And also you said this last time. Last time, but then like dead ass, you were like moving with like no, like this happens every time. - Okay, but the thing is, is there's no there's no there's no no no hold on hold on i'm finding it i'm finding it there's no blockage like the mind currently now and you know what the t2 is before it was almost like we were doing it with like the sparkle of a first time where it's like i don't even really know how hard this is gonna be every experience was our first now if i committed to this i know exactly what the fuck going down i know exactly what the fuck going down and honestly like and i will say i'll admit it i'm trying to get my zhuzh up okay so i'll probably be down in like a month but maybe not okay but i'll let you guys know we have plenty of time i don't have anything to counteract that so i'm gonna keep going i did watch i did end up re-watching like the vlog that i posted on youtube of what we did like the 10 mile because i was trying to like reinvigorate the part of my brain that was saying she loved running because i will say although painful like i kept saying i love running and the shoes you ran in maya were like in well don't let your voice quiver now come on that was shade yes i know and it was also 100 degrees with hills but then again like now that the hills have eyes it's like do let's just not forget that the the marathon had hills yeah i didn't like that they got away with that because i didn't know now yeah now i'm like so i'm supposed to start like running in the again maybe maybe that's what i need that's what i'm saying because i've been feeling very mentally unwell see i will say i will say and listen it's low mileage we're only doing two mile right now maya right now maya two miles maya we have so much time and you already know this so it's just like it wouldn't even be like d for real it's just like what about my nights what about the beers at night you don't even you don't you act i do okay i do i do i do have about two sometimes that's fine why can you have two beers at night you know why i can't have two beers at night because then you have to wake up at 7 a.m and put on spandex and handle it so it's just like i don't maybe but right now i just like the idea feels very and again i will say i will say the process the journey it was awesome felt very my body craving that what's stressing me out again is that i don't have the novice of the first time like now when i'm thinking about it i'm thinking about the fact that like i'm gonna have to run like 10 13 and i know what that feels like i'm not running 10 13 why not well you're gonna have to run 13 that's gonna be the half marathon oh 10 13 miles i thought you're talking about pace and no what's your pace right now be honest hers is nine something yeah be honest no it's 1001 be honest i don't know what it is literally dude i we remember we saw that screenshot for once she was running and it was like nine mind you okay firstly it was 10 something i did like i've been going to this run club and like they do a track night but it's like more of intervals of a workout and stuff so every time i was sprinting i would screenshot and it was still at like 10 10 minutes something and that's why i had those screenshots but then i was walking like the rest of the track okay but i did run earlier this week and my pace was i ran two and a half miles my pace was 10 47 even the idea i'm running two and a half right now but i had to work my way up you see well that's what i'm saying you see it's been like five times so that's why i guess i respect and i can understand the needing to like walk and then build your way yeah well i will say yesterday during my run it felt hard as fuck it did not feel easy guys and here's the thing it's not the olympics for like who's the most like in line with maya's laziness okay like everybody i don't even run that much i don't it was hard guys okay i have to get up to y'all level don't even worry about me i might be on the side like this okay mile six handing out waters we'll see i know you'll do it we'll see i just and again it's just the mental hurdle that's all it is is the mental hurdle because y'all know my judge like if i say i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do it i'm gonna fucking do it so it's like damn like if i say yes and that means like i have to do it because i will unfortunately not let myself quit i'm working on that in therapy you see the perfectionism is really like it's something serious well you know for whatever reason your friend okay if i can touch my toes right now i'll consider okay you're choosing not to you're literally you fucking study ballet for how many fucking years you can't touch your toes did you see how close it's a lie well because i thought i wasn't going to be able to do it i think i'm just warmed up because i was doing this a lot maya if it's okay guys we don't have to do everything okay let's go like i don't you're no but you guys have fun you're hella funny you guys have and you know what and the other thing that i'll say all jokes aside it is starting to get a little bit jokey in here but um what i will say is um the goo the goo here's the thing if i was gonna run the half marathon again here's what i would change no vest i'm gonna serve one of those girls that run with the water like this or no water dead the i'm so no vest no vest and like do i need goo arguably yes but like the goo you can find a different kind i never took goo only the chew only like oh but the chew is kind of hard oh no the chew is the chew is better the chew might be better the goo i like because i can just swallow it but i hate the goo i don't i was drinking crazy fucking flavors by the end because we were literally like crazy mocha choco i know i was doing taco taco the caramel guys i was doing the caramel the runner's stomach that's what i'm saying my whole life will have to change but honestly that might be what i need dude when i tell you the runner's stomach that i had after my run because mind you anyways i'm not about to do too much but i had my shit was doing back flips and the six speed like it was like insane but i will say i did feel really good after i definitely felt like it was really nice to wake up early and like do that and then whatever but um here's the thing hey you sit on it you still got time i think i feel a little i do the only reason i feel scared is because guys for whatever reason my i only had two goals this year one goal i'm not going to share yet um because because hey like we gotta see like that that's the only reason i feel scared that one's dependent on like a couple moving factors and we'll see number one goal that i've been telling everyone very proudly with my chest out is the only thing i want to do this year is run a full marathon why because your friend i'm the friend that does too much like literally that is an awesome feat and there is something to honoring your body no it is i mean it's just like get with no it's just like get with your capricorn friend who like be doing too much but this is this is the year that i'm like hey you know what and that's why i was like let me get out on the track and see what like daddy can do and daddy was like hey you know i i would hope i would only build more endurance yeah maybe like shave off 30 seconds so it's a clean 12 by the time it's the half you're gonna be running like a 10 because you're also strength training and that's the other judge is like okay if i could do something differently i would probably strength train as well but like then it's like we'll see there it is again my whole life changes yeah but like arguably for the better no it would definitely be i mean it's also just for like a little era you only need like three months to like whip it into shape hell no we did it for less than three months that's what i'm saying but i don't want to do it like that like do you remember what that fucking felt like like that was like insane that was insane that was doing too much well i would say it was only doing too much physically yes because we can do anything we're lucky to have healthy and able bodies of course on top of that though it was more the mental pressure of like the yeah that was insane so if we had like and that's the thing so what i start now no like not even i would say no no i'm kidding well i would have to oh my god no here's the thing okay you want my advice or not really um sure i would say if you ran like two three couple times a week maybe foe like every every other week just for vibrations to keep your body just yeah vibing in the place yes we come to this place you would only start a training block when you're training for something and right now the half we're planning on doing isn't until later in the year therefore if you start your training block early your you can't keep doing a training block yeah so it's like you i mean maybe the biggest training block you could have is like maybe there's like a faux month plan but it would probably be more like a three month plan and that's what i'm saying so i'm like if you wanted to do every now and again you toss in a to a tree just to like keep the vibes high the vibes right keep those muscles moving and just stop okay and stop because i'm i'm being convinced and i don't like that i'm gonna sit on it sit on it i mean i know that i'm gonna end up doing it but i am gonna allow myself the option to not do it the lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything even our music That hit song named after the color of lemons not a coincidence big lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years think about it but now seven up is

of hasbro there is obviously a beauty to running there's a beauty to being in the body which is a beauty to being in the body which is a beauty to being in the body which i think is what appeals to me the most is being in the body and the discipline aspect of like there's something you know as we talked about last episode like a purpose you know what i'm saying that's that's always nice but um wow it's just like a lot that's a lot for surely it's a lot and i just like don't want to eat goo like i just don't no hey and you wouldn't have to eat goo on these kinds of runs that we're doing well these kinds of runs but the goo will come eventually the goo will come but not until later the stinger waffles but listen not everyone does though some people do like nerds clusters yeah some people do sour patch why can't we do like a pop chip okay so i don't know if that has no i know but that's what i'm saying everything like for the running is like sweet sweet sweet oh yeah if anyone knows of any savory like running things let me know because then i would turn up like if i could eat like a cheese it but y'all know i don't like that sweet shit i mean the but knowing them like knowing the running fucking people who make goo they're about to be like yeah okay filet mignon flavor i'm like okay mini taco mini tacos salted pretzel that's a good one wait taco bell if you're down to sponsor me i'm being so serious i'll run the half marathon with like my things being like a soft potato taco i'm being so dead i'm being so dead serious talk about this is a huge opportunity okay and i would do it goldfish rice balls oh my gosh onigiri that's a great idea with parmesan um don't listen who said that who said james wait onigiri is a really good idea okay mashed potato and salted do you see what i'm saying mashed potato ball bitch it's over with well that's what i'm saying bitch it's over with because at the end of the day all you need is quick fast carbs yeah with salt like that peanut butter pretzels pickles okay now i'm kind of down but the thing is is like the reason why everything's so sweet is because of the sugar like that's what's giving you energy well y'all know me i just need a sweet and a salty i can't do just the sweet so like my tea is like why don't you you could do you could do pretzel put the chew in the middle that's kind of tea that's kind of tea okay i'm okay i'll run it um no but that that does open it up that opens up the pit yeah i mean um hey listen like you never know until you know but no i'm proud of you what i will say is like that's dead ass for whatever reason i mean honestly it's just because like yeah i have been in the gym with nicole as fuck yeah but like you know i think like the strength aspect and like all of that shit has definitely like opened up the pit for sure of course that's why i'm saying guys don't come down to my level you guys are strong and you're active people and that's something to be proud of no i but it's not even that you know i just i love doing everything with you that's really what it comes down to at the end of the day she goes my you know it's so true and you know i know it's true but guys the conviction and no conviction the only like right no there's no conviction genuinely because at the end of the day so i've already got my proposal yeah you already got my proposal i love doing every single thing with my fucking friends if it was up to me i'd literally live in a compound with them like a tense like a 10 building like literally 10 fucking rooms same house with my friends like y'all know i love my friends more than fucking anything so when i'm doing something i'm like damn like what if i had a friend with me y'all mind i know because through friendship you can do anything so a no pressure no pressure and i'll let y'all know i'll just try to walk it too and then run it too and then i'll let you know how i feel listen when i ran that too i was like breathing the first mile i was breathing second mile i was breathing but like you know i think if i can just if i can do it again i'll feel a lot better of course of course and then go from there a three i haven't done a three in a while the last year i did was on a treadmill and that was like by the end i was definitely like and you know we just gotta build it back up yeah you know what's so crazy i where my sciatica first came from was

mean it's like nbd but like because like i don't care how long something takes or like totally It's just all about the communication because then I can like, you know, whatever. Yeah. But I'm like, they're not even like, we haven't heard from them, like nothing. So anyways, my property manager has been on it, but I'm just kind of like, what the fuck? Wait, whoa, that's kind of crazy though. No, it is kind of crazy though. Cool. So cool. We'll think about running. Well, I'll think about it. And I'm just like, I'll think about it. I'll think about it. I'll think about it. It is just like the getting back in it. That's like really difficult because like genuinely after the half, I haven't ran since then. Well, yeah. Which is like so awkward and fun and like messed up. But no, that makes perfect sense. I mean, yeah. Well, just in the way that like a girl who was talking about how much she loved running and then it was like after the half, I was like, well, I will say though, that was like such a big, well, because think about all the stuff that happened after that. Yeah. I mean, to be fair, we went to Europe, we went, we like. Totally. Like literally we're traveling our asses off. Like when were we going to fucking like, you know. We're about to get back in the digs. Like it's Coachella season. Guys, Coachella is like upon us as fuck. I probably when this episode goes out, it'll be the week before we go to Coachella. Yeah, maybe the week of or the week before. Guys, the way also I was at this event and I was like, see you at the desert, guys. Guys, it's just. I love, I don't know. It's camp. I'm just like an L.A. piece of shit at the end of the day. Yeah, honestly. Because it's like, listen. L.A. piece of shit. We're just like L.A. transplant pieces of shit. Like actually, because I'm like, well. Like I will see you in the desert. I will see you in the. I will say I am a little. I'm not nervous, but I am overwhelmed because I feel like this is my first. Like I went to Coachella two years ago, I think. Shout out Amanda, obviously my diva. But like this, I feel like is the first. Like bust down that's happening and I'm like kind of overwhelmed. OK, I will say this is like, well, also, we go to Coachella like I've been going the past couple of years for work. Yeah, and like this is your first year going for work. Yeah, obviously there will be play in between. But like, yeah, I feel like when you go for work, it's like a different connotation of like, yeah, you know, you have like work obligations or you have things. So it does feel a little overwhelming, but I have it down to a science. Yeah, this is what you have to do if you're there for the event. We can once the events and like the kiki in the like rah rah. Yeah. And I've never been to weekend one either. OK, so and we can choose like really about the music. Yeah, it's like for the chill girls as hell, which I love. We can do so much. Here's the thing about weekend one. OK, you go in there and especially if you're going to work or like a lot of events. You got to decide what you're there for. Yeah, I when I go for work, I'm like, OK, obviously we're working. But then more importantly, I'm there. There's artists I want to see. Yeah. And that takes priority. Above all else. Yeah. Then, you know, there's usually an event or two where I'm like, OK, boom, like I'm a pull up here because the girls don't pull up here. Yeah. One event before the carnival, the carnival before the guys help before the festival. After that, that's it. Day one. Day two. One event before the festival. Maybe an afters tease, but for the most part, one just one and done. OK. Monday, just like shit, just like, you know, wake up madly, sleep in as fuck, go to like the tail end of the festival. And there you have it, ladies and gents, you will survive the weekend of Coachella. Every time I mess up is when I go to more than just one or two events. It's any time I go to like I'd be trying to be like at like a bus down Bundaloo and then go to another bus down Bundaloo, which like shout out. Like, you know what I mean? Right. But then like then I find myself, you know, and then I got sick and it was just like. Oh, yeah, exactly. Oh, like I'm scared. No, I'm not scared. But you know how I be like I get like overwhelmed with that. No, I get it. But that's what I'm saying. Like, I feel like as long as you keep it like you prioritizing because people will try and like, you know, tell you like, yes. Oh, my gosh. The intergalactic like. Yeah. And like literally like Harry Styles with this shirt off might perform. Maybe my baby. And then you get there and it's literally like Barry Biles and like. Derry dials and like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm excited because we do have like homies coming on like week one to obviously like I couldn't do it if you weren't going and then also stop going. So that's period. And then it's like, you know, the homies that will keep it grounded. But, you know, it's that raw. It's that see you in the desert. Raw, raw. And I'm like, guys, y'all. I can't do the raw, raw. I'm just like, also, since we do listen to a good amount of the same amount of music. Yeah. I feel like that's what it really comes down to, because there's a billion and two friends who are literally like, oh, I want to be here for this or I want to like do this. And then you're literally sitting there like, OK, like I only listen to like Claro and fucking. Yeah. No. So it's just like if you have like friends who listen to the same shit as you, like you be. Yeah. Regardless, it's going to be a lot of fun. But it's just giving like that time of year where you start going up to people like see you in the desert. Right. And it is like the work of it all, too, where I'm like, well, no, excited about everything that we're doing, but just the concept of like. Yeah. We're going to be locked in. Yeah. It's a little, you know, the pressure is switching up. We will be announcing who we're going. Oh, and I'm like stoked. Bootsy bells because I'm like, yeah, I know her. I know her. I know her. So it's just like Tanner will be there and I'll be like a cut up for Shirley. It will be a cut up. But like hashtag I survived Coachella. By the time this came out, I need I need a shirt that says that and manifesting. No, my God. And it's just even the outfits like I'm like, good God, like everyone's going to be mad when I show up in a tank top. But it's on it. It's on. And that's what I was going to say. Keep it honest. Anytime you stray from God's light and start doing some shit you found on Pinterest is this. But see, that's the part of the noise of it all is like, you know, everybody got me looking left, right side. Everybody guys like for Coachella. This is what you need. And like, this is what I'm wearing. And it's like really content. I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And I'm like, shh. But see, when I go to Coachella, though. No, literally. The Lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music. That hit song named after the color of lemons. Not a coincidence. Big Lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years. Think about it. But now seven up is fighting back. With their new lime lemon soda. Now lime comes first. Seven up.

When I go to Coachella, I'm not there to like turn heads and literally be like, she got on the nastiest poochie outfit I've ever seen in my whole entire life. But your poochie is going to be sickening. No, your poochie is going to be sickening too. But your poochie is actually going to be sickening. My poochie is one poochie right now. And that poochie was like pre-made poochie. So it's just like. I don't even have poochie. I don't have poochie right now. Like I don't have pooch niche. But the thing is, I don't even have like poochie shoe. I don't even have. Well, but you have poochie because here's, here's, here's where we differ. Am I allowed to talk about like things that I do for work or is that naughty? Is that okay? What do you mean? Can I reference in a general sense? We can cut it if it's too much. Here's the thing. Your closet is already poochie Simmons. And I say that like this. So when you need to pull for pooch, then it's like there's already poochie. At least. At least poochie adjacent. So your shit's going to step. For me, poochie. It's giving like, it's giving like when I'm doing like any kind of deal. And they're like, yeah, can you pull out something cunty? I'm like, well, poochie. Here's what I have pooch. I have three tank tops in different colors that aren't in your color palette anyway. And like long jeans and I can't wear those either. So then it's like, fuck that. So then for me, it's like, well, then I have to shout out newly. Then I have to go on newly. Then I have to go on. But I'm like, this year's poochie, we're not even having to do fashion poochie. We don't have to do. And I, and that's the thing too, is like. I'm not a fashion girl. Well, listen. Hey, y'all know, y'all know my lore about like literally doing the like fashion lifestyle influencer circuit for a couple of years. I quickly realized, do I have a passion for fashion? Yes. Is it enough to like literally like some of my girls who got the Hannah Montana? Hannah fucking like bust down Bundaloo. Yeah. And also I'm not like the majority of my money does not go to clothes. Yeah. So with that being said, it's like, yes, I do love clothes. Yes. I see some shit. I'm like, girl, that's so good. Like, you know, but at the end of the day, the fashion that like remains in my closet is nothing to like write home about. And also like, well, in the sense that like I rewear a lot of stuff. Yeah. I don't like. But your shit's sickening is what I'm saying. Your shit's sickening too. My closet. Closet is very sickening for me. And it's very hashtag. true to me yeah that's all i can say well and that's the thing is like the personal style of it all is like so important because it's just like as soon as we lose her yeah we lose everything else of course it's just it's just the pressure of like when i have to pick something quote-unquote special i'm like well guys you'll know i have my three tank tops and my two pants but who's putting that pressure on i am and i am and also the the mind the mindless consuming of tiktok and instagram right now where i'm like you know the girls that seo's up like coachella's up and we love coachella but because of that guys you just showed me like six tops that i have to have and it's just like annoying because like you know what i mean and my goal is to not i mean maybe i'll buy like maybe i'll use this as an excuse to buy like there's like some shorts that i've really been wanting and like maybe like a pant like i don't know but other than that i'm just like yeah i mean i would never ever fix my fucking eyes and hands to literally buy some shit that i'm wearing once oh well of course not yeah i mean i think that like you know of course i i also think that like you know in terms of it's just it comes down to the consumption of it all of course and how you're going about it and and what you're buying because it's like if this is something that you're like lacking in your closet and you're like okay you know i would like to wear something like this and i've worn it for like a year and i'm like oh my god i'm like i'm like i'm like i'm something like this for a really long time and like it aligns with you i feel like you can like one two one two three release them yeah of like you know but i think yeah i think something for me is when i go back besides you know last year there's like i would say i would stand on like all those fits besides like day one um because those were like pretty like authentically me like a lot of those outfits i would like still wear like today totally um but i would still wear i will say there definitely is like you know something so important and just like speaks to again like like looking for inspiration and not for like a play-by-play of like what you're gonna wear yeah um and stuff but i think yeah you know and i think this year has been cool because like you know you've even been wanting to like shop small and like yeah totally and like not buy like bust down bundaloos from like bust down bundaloo places yeah so i i mean like there's that too but yeah i i definitely have just been like trying to find some stuff that i mean i haven't even honestly i am wearing most things that i already have yeah totally and then like one thing from miss blondita um and then after that i'm just i mean sunday fit is like y'all getting like pant and a hoodie oh fush and that's the thing is i can't with the hot to cold either that's the hardest part of it probably only gonna be hot or because i'm like that's the other thing too is like last year it was hot at night at night it was like it was like it felt like maybe 80 degrees damn 80 it was not cool by any means because you know how like flog go where it's hot as fuck and then it's but that's in the that's in the um we're in the desert i'm 92 i know but that's usually what it lends itself to is like the really hot day and then the really cold night ooh yeah yeah like guys and you can't go home in between well i did um reserve like a little locker situation if you want to like store a little hoodie in there i would love to do that yeah thank you for saying that thank you for spelling damn can we still reserve lockers they sold out they probably sold you might be able to yeah if you wonder if you were interested in not sharing then i would love to share but i just don't want to take up all your space yeah as long as it's not like a parka yeah just like it's getting a little like my trench okay guys whatever um oh a trench would be kind a trench would be kind but do we need a trenchant coach do we need a trenchant coach i don't think so but i do need like a light sweater because unfortunately yeah i do need a light sweater that's fine or something because my problem is that i can deal with hot but i can't deal with cold so then like when i go to shit where it gets cold at night like it's really like literally the last time it was oh that's what i'm that's right now that's what i'm saying brother i'm like just that's what i'm saying i'm like this is hold on hold on that's not the weekend we're going okay well it's just like how would they even know i'm like wait what is this i hope so if it's that i'm my i've just got sick thing oh my outfit if i can wear like a little jacket like it's hoodie big pants every day and i'm about to be listening jb with my hood up right with my purple hood up who's mad at me and if he plays journals i'll literally freak out literally freak out he wouldn't though he not nasty like that he might be i mean yeah if the weather's like sickening i'll be like stoked but at the same time the wedding if the wedding oh wow well the coachella wedding the coachella wedding guys who do you think is gonna get married first actually better question who's gonna have a kid first out of in our group yeah between us oh not having a kid i think i'd probably get married first i would say that i think i live with this with a specific delusion bless you i definitely see you getting married first but i think we would all still wait like probably like well i feel i will say though that when i get engaged the turnaround for like marriage will be fast like i'm not doing like a two-year-long engagement really i just feel like at that point it needs to be go time okay well and you're talking to the girl that wants like a bridgerton wedding so i'm like how would you plan that in like a year well i mean i guess like like maybe a year and a half then but like i'm not trying to like sit you know how people are like engaged for like five years yes like that doesn't make sense well that's a promise ring vibe yeah and i'm just like when someone like when i'm engaged i'm like we're going into wedding planning mode granted if the wedding isn't like you know maybe not the same year i got engaged but like the year are you trying to do a bus down no i will i will say after going to like you know i was gonna say the europe no not europe i think euro summer is like well no like the travel wedding oh a destination wedding i might but then it's if anything genuinely it would be like nor nor cal like big sir t's or like mendocino t's okay well okay big sir is not northern california but that's okay sorry i guess i mean like no no i'm only saying that's why i made that face but then it's like comma you know i'm sorry like coastal like i guess yeah coastal or like you know one of those like nature t's like carmel t's but like i guess i meant like mendocino as like it would be gorgeous what big sir would be gorgeous yeah big sir um is really the only problem is like again when you go to like those smaller like coastal towns yeah it is really hard to like like big sir where can you like unless you get like a cabin for everyone oh yeah in terms of like lodging and stuff it's really hard and i feel like i'd probably at least need a hundred guests yeah yeah it'd be it would be like i'll try and do like 50 yeah but like you know just like but think okay think think here i can't think already think right now us our immediate friends yeah tmg yeah like you know what i mean yeah and then go from there yeah you're literally that we're probably just think we're already sitting at like 30 t's yeah well we're sitting like 50 you're at like three you were sitting at like 80 you got like 800 but that's what i'm saying like and that like if i did a hundred like with allow people to bring their partners too that's what i'm saying see we're just thinking about friends i i mean like i would allow people because you could see that's the thing and i would allow some people to bring their partner the rule of thumb is like if they're married but i'm like i'm not going to tell my like day one she can't bring her fucking like devo that i know too okay you feel me like that's what i'm saying like i'm not gonna tell my like day one she can't bring me i do feel you so then it would turn into some partners ain't making it it's no shame all let all well right well that is shade and i can stand it no 100p i would be my rule of thumb will definitely be like if i haven't at least keyed with your man a couple times and like he a coup vibe he's staying at home well no kids obviously yeah obviously um if any of us had kids by then i'd be very surprised yeah unless like you know like well maybe like but even still no kids like you like no oh my god guys guys i'm like i'm feeling 26 because hold on because what i was gonna say is okay i feel like it'd be the concept of even getting married in the next five years actually sent a cold chill down my spine but then in five years i'm gonna be 28 29 30 31 32 and that's when i need to have a kid if i was gonna have one gorge what is that bridgerton okay here's my though like low-key a castle love that sorry love that the face i made was not i was thinking i was figuring out some things um i will say shout out lisa the vegas wedding cool ass little vibe i camp camp gorgeous gorgeous gown so easy that kind of appeals to me low well you could do this you have options you see yeah for like your legal like because like well that's the thing let's cut that right there because you all know mine's going to be a celebration of love baby i ain't put no pen to know nothing okay to know nothing the only way would put pen to pape is if we were together for like it doesn't matter because eight nine already has common law marriage they can try they can come try to common my law and find out what happens it's already happening well how would they know rumors and shit they go they go mark what my fucking hard launch was okay but say you move in with someone maya okay they would move in with me okay continue they their name would still be on some okay so is keelan so are we common law because we lived together for like six years i'm just letting you know everyone trying to be in my business get the government out my business how about that um box clip that i just don't personally oh my gosh this is like making me anxious now because i'm like wait like i'm 26 yeah and i'm about to be 27 so then it's like if i wait five years six or seven years okay guys i'm getting stressed out i'm getting stressed don't get stressed out i'm getting stressed out because no i know but i'm just getting stressed out because like and 32 is like okay think about this 32 is like plenty of motherfucking time bro because you can decide if i'm gonna marry you to decide mars to decide what your life even looks like well and i was pillow talking last night like would you be open when we're 35 that's real because low-key i'm low-key nobody wants to talk about rupaul charles yeah and how he's in an open marriage well what i was that i was gonna say um he's calling it's 3-1-1 um i was sorry i was gonna say um oprah steadman steadman we've talked about that way child here's the thing here's the thing here's the thing here's the thing here's the thing here's the thing because low-key rupaul did say he know we're home at and i respect that because here's the zhuzh why does he look that picture's interesting i don't know that oh australian painter and rancher gorge they've been together since 1994 oh my gosh after meeting at a dance club that's so every okay and here's what i'm saying here's what i'm saying they got married when i graduated love the 23rd anniversary okay here's what i'm saying here's what i'm saying guys here's what i'm saying i think rupaul ate with the idea that a long-term relationship i'm not saying that a long-term relationship means you have to be open but i am saying that a long-term relationship begs the question in my opinion as a gen z piece of shit that like maybe we should consider the idea of being open because the only thing to me that scares me i'm a gen z piece of shit okay i'll say it the only thing that has me scared is like so let's just say like right now i got married to my boyfriend right now okay so 10 20 30 if we leave to be if we live to be about 80 10 20 30 hold on because what about like 30 year old fine shit what about 35 the lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything even our music that hit song named after the color of lemons not a coincidence big lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years think about it but now seven up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda now lime comes first seven up flip the sip mr monopoly here miss me monopoly

a little more lived out in some ways but here's the thing my fear is that and and we've talked about this before it's just it's the it's the hall pass theory y'all know i got my butt popped last time it's the idea that it's like guys listen if at some point if we were like 41 42 and you're trying to go you're trying to go catch some you're trying to go see some you know you feel a little like i don't know i gotta go see some i don't want to get divorced over that okay here's here's the only thing okay see you on that i hear you on that you do what i'm saying i'm picking up what you're putting down yes the only thing is because i've no i know three friends now divorced over the same who did the open yeah but here's the situation that occurred yes once it comes out of the box yes can it be put back in the box the same way it came out yes good question that's the real question because at the end of the day because we are human and because nothing is like we can theorize and we can like you know like think that like okay yes if we like stick to this and do xyz and like element op yes then like if it went in the came out the box like this it i mean it's definitely not gonna go back in the box but see that's the thing i don't think that's a realistic expectation okay but see that's the thing that i think like it's a little harder i will say too with like the cultures at play of course because i would say like you know like when you're straight it's there's it's different okay maybe i think yes i'm sure but like even lesbian is worried about my instructor well i would just say yes and obviously like listen respect to the sacredness and the sanctity of being a monogamous person that's not my point yeah i guess as like the toxically like i barbie and my my partner no dad no i just feel like i just feel like the air a little still i just feel like no i i get what you're saying i i completely understand like i guess for me it's giving if i was gonna like marry you like under the eyes of god type shit like under the holiest of matrimon i just feel like and i've and i and i will also come from a place of i do think that if you know if we're gonna have a real serious conversation about this unless of a key like obviously there's a huge thing to be said about communication expectations you're setting up in a really serious relationship and all these things and i would also never expect my partner to just be like slay and i would also never expect my partner like i wouldn't pull one of those well i don't know because i haven't done it but as i stand here now i i there's a fairness here there's an understanding you know and i know that i tend to be a little more lax in that department because i'm like well the voodoo clam you see so it's like i don't know i just feel like i personally and again maybe i have to use it under the umbrella of the hall pass again because that makes it more that makes the stakes higher you know it wouldn't be so like like you know if i'm just like i'm trying to see other people like that's a whole other conversation yeah but i'll use the hall pass analogy it's just like for me and mine and like off the back of our conversation about like hey you know what i mean like life is just about like living it and like all i can do every single day it's just like paint with the colors of the wind it's like if i turn 46 right and and even it's just hey okay hey like harry he's still 55 so like we still see what he's doing you know what i mean like get it i don't know how it's gonna work but he just dm'd me on instagram and he said you looking good queen and i said okay harry here's the thing like you know what i mean like let me talk to me at mine and like we just go whatever like we got 2.5 i don't know i gotta talk to him and i talked to him and it's like okay well like i'm scared i don't know like i guess when i'm trying to say is it would just make me feel more comfortable for a lifelong commitment if you understood that i'm always gonna put myself first yeah i would never cheat on my partner and i am also very like i've proven to be very fiercely monogamous but i just feel like the one scarcity that i have the one scared that i have is like a gen z piece of shit like born and raised is i'm just like well what if at some point like i need to fly free yeah a little bit yeah and then maybe come back to the coop because like that's where my nest at when i'm literally just like a bad daughter as fuck but i'm just like it's just like you know what i mean yeah no i i completely like if we can dap up on that even just as a hypothetical then i'm like period yeah i'm not saying it would happen but what i'm saying is rupaul being with his partner since 1994 bitch and it's 2025 and y'all had to go out and see a little one-two piece i get it yeah i get it well and i think like you know the culture allows for so the culture allows for so so i think yeah i like you know what i mean yeah no for sure i definitely there's nuances yeah there's nuances i don't know i just i guess like the only thing that i offer is like the box of it all of course because it's because i just you know i think i've just seen how it changes things yes but but the thing is again like we're everything's changing so fast like what was like you know i think especially in our generation we're like you know like poly secure like conversations are happening literally like literally like everyone like owns a poly pocket yeah everyone owns the book poly secure so it's just like well yes who knows like how much things will change but But I will say that like that's like not redonk and that's not like that's that makes no sense. That makes perfect sense, especially when it comes to like the idea of like forever tease, because it's the idea of forever. Because it's just like as someone who came Christian Girl Autumn. Yeah, totally. And like, you know what you want to talk about forever? Yeah. What about eternity? No, what about eternity? Right. What about eternity? In the eyes of God. Yes. With that being said, I think that like for me, I just was like, you know. I felt a big pressure to be like worse. It's working. And if it's not working, then it's not. And I'm just like, that's like not really like realistic and like things change. People change. You change. Totally, totally, totally. How do you know that like the 28 year old me will still feel the same way that like the 48 year old me will feel? Yeah, totally. And all I can do is like base it off of like, hey, you know, because it's like, I guess like I more so land the plane for like my camp is like, you know, no one can give you everything. Yeah. And so it's just like the everything they can give you being enough for you tease. And then like, of course, it's like, yeah, I think like that's, you know, it's like good to keep in mind of like honoring your future self. Well, because you're thinking. Well, because I would simply be remiss to even have that as an idea that comes across my brain. And then we're supposed to get married and I haven't talked to you about it because that's what I think. Also, it's like and if we're going to talk about it more seriously, it's like the communication of even the poly of it all the conversation. I think even now, just, you know, I've had many friends where it's like you be fucking with somebody and they are not down for poly. It wouldn't be fair. Like if that was my situation where I was like dating somebody and, you know, maybe if I was like dating my partner before and they were like, hey, you know, like I'd probably be on some poly shit. If that's not OK with me, we must speak now. Yeah. You know what I mean? Where it's like I wouldn't even want to be in a situation where I'm like, oh, OK, well, maybe sure. Like, I don't know. And then when they literally pull up, bitch, it's poly pocket time and you're literally like, wait, what the fuck? It's like, OK, I mean, not that it's your emotion about it. But, you know, there's a there was a there was dead ass like an article about that. The poly. Mm hmm. Who's the girl who made Trill? What is Trill? Trill. Trill. Yeah. S.H.R.I.L.L. What is that? Who? OK. They show. But the girl who wrote it. What's her name? I can't think of her. Writers. Like who wrote? Oh, her. Lindy West. Love. OK. So Lindy West. I don't know if you like know her like tea and stuff, but she like wrote like really big, like bust down articles like she was like really. She's awesome. Anyway, there's like stuff about her right now. Yeah. So she wrote a new book and she. She was OK. So she's married right now. And essentially what happened in like a if I'm wrong, y'all can like fix it up in the comments. But like this is essentially what happened. She's married to that. This guy. And long story short, they got married and he he then decided. Like, you know, he's trying to like open it up. Yeah. And like so kind of they got married under the stipulation of like the monogamy. Yes. And so, yes, she thought she can handle polyamory, but she was wrong. OK, well, well, and see how you have to pay for everything. Like, no, it's just like, oh, she. OK. So essentially what happened was like she she gets into this marriage with her husband who's like been her partner for a really long time. Yeah, stuff. She finds out. She finds out through a friend that he's like seeing someone. So not even like ethical. Oh, so she like he cheated on her. But then he was like, but you said I can like date other people tease. So then they add a third and he's like, well, you have to add a third or like I'm leaving tease. And then literally. It was just like, so I feel for her because it's just like, well, yeah, like, what do you do? Yeah. Just put into perspective that like now she's just like, OK, like, I'm going to deal with it because this is the love of my life. And like, oh, what else am I going to do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now she's like in a poly fucking cool dead the fuck ass with like another girl. And like in. Yeah. She was like, I felt like I was losing him and I was just determined to win. It's a mess. But with that being said, I feel like. Yeah. There's like, oh, my God. Yeah. Style like you. Well, and it's just like, obviously, now we can have the conversation because we've kind of woke it up. So there's a little bit of a preemptive potential there to be like, you probably like you. Will you ever be Polly? Do you wear wig? Will you ever wear wigs? And yeah, I think that's like what's so important is like, yeah, being honest about your situation because. Yeah. Of course. Because I feel like that. Yeah. Yeah. So. Yeah. Period. So with that being. They're gorge. Yeah. So with that being said, I think that like it all comes down to like communication style and like honesty. Honesty. Because at the end of the day, like I think as long as you're coming honest and authentic with your intentions. 100%. Then like there's a world in which like, girl, hell yeah. And allowing for change. And allowing for, you know. And I think that's the biggest thing. Yeah. Right. Is like, I think more, more often than not, people are scared of like, oh, my God, I'm scared of like letting something go that's like so important to them for the sake of like, you know, but I'm just like, sometimes like the right choice is to like, let this thing go. That was serving you at that time. Of course. But like no longer serving you. Well, and that's why when you talk about marriage and everybody asking me to sign paper, I'm like, listen, do I right now at 26 year old as a 26 year old believe that that is. Do we believe that? I don't know. I want to say it carefully. Like, I believe marriage can work and I believe long term relationships can work, of course. But do I believe that? Do I believe that it's realistic to think that that's a catch all for every single person? No. So for me, I'm like, listen, you know, whoever my future, whatever, like whoever, maybe if I ever get married, I don't know if I decide that I don't do paperwork. It's kind of just like, listen, never would I ever want to feel or want somebody to feel bound to me by the idea of a separation being very difficult. Prenup, maybe, perhaps, but I guess that's kind of the thing, too. Like, as like, again, like a Gen Z piece of shit, I'm kind of just like, hey, if we wake up at 45, 46 and you like, listen, I want to go on the Golden Batch. How do you need to be able to go on the Golden Bachelor? If I wake up 75, 76 and my partner, like, I want to go on the Golden Bachelor, whatever. I will be absolutely sick to my goddamn stomach. 60 to 75. Right. 75's pushing it, but. It's 75. Well, that's OK. Golden. The golden years. I would be absolutely sick to my stomach. Of course. But, you know, people change. And I and I would always like to think that I would honor that. Yeah. And honor myself. And that's the only thing you can do. Yeah. Because it's just like at the end of the day, you have to do what you think is right for yourself. And if it looks like that, then like that's the answer. Yeah. And like you can't let like fear hold you back. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, for whatever. And I would honestly rather just like choose my partner every day. I would never want to feel like I. Out of obligation. Yeah. I'm like, I would actually much rather. Choose you every single day because that's what seems to be happening. So. Yeah. But all that being said, like, I don't know, maybe a Vegas wedding, but can they fit 300 people in there? There's probably a venue for sure that can. Or a Disney cruise wedding. Now everyone's mad at me. No. I would not do that. I would do that. Oh. Oh. If you did that, I would go. Yeah. I wouldn't do a cruise because y'all know I get sick. Yeah. I. I would do something like, you know, I would try to make like maybe and maybe it looks like this. Maybe the like immediate like bundle. A little hangout. A little key. Yeah. And then like maybe there's like a little like moment that happens like here or something like that. Because I think at the end of the day, like, you know, you got to be as accessible as possible for like a wedding. That's so funny because the next thing I was about to say is are either of y'all thinking about a destination wedding because I need to I need to start saving now. I. Macy. My friend Macy Gray. Y'all already know. That was so sickening. But like, yeah, even like where she got married and like she had a villa and like that was so like sickening that like I feel like a situation where you like give your guests options of like, yeah, this is where you can go and this is what that looks like and everything. But it does take a lot of planning and like a lot of like, you know, all the tea. So, um, yeah, that's the only thing for me that like is a little like. What about you? I honestly haven't really thought it through. Like since my Christian girl autumn era, like I thought I knew what I would want that to look like. Like in the context of like the Christian girl autumn of it all. But since, you know, graduating out of that. Yes. I don't know. Because I have friends that like eloped in Greece. Shout out Josh and Shane. Wait. Gorgeous. Like so gorgeous. Don't have to worry about logistics of anyone else. They traveled like. It's just like, what about us? You know, I know. But then it's like, but then of course you want to like celebrate with your friends and family. But then also. But you kind of sort of elope realness. Yeah. I can see that. I feel like Macy's wedding was like perfect. Perf. Because they did like an immediate ceremony for like friends and fam, like in the States. And then like. Oh, right. Yeah. But like Euro summer. she gave us a whole year to like figure out our tea yeah and actually more than a year probably like yeah i guess like a whole year to like yeah really like know what we're gonna do yeah then after that we all kind of like just knew where we could stay and like figured it out so it wasn't like and then after they gave us they did a buddy moon which i definitely want to do that yeah that's so the buddy moon is where they ate and honestly maybe it's giving buddy moon because having your friends be with you all of euro summer was like that was so fucking fun i just had like the glimpse of like the thought of you guys getting engaged and i'll actually start crying right now i will say though when i get engaged like i will need my divas like well i think you'll get married first because you're the most like into the idea of a marriage yeah i mean like you know i am like pretty marriage pilled but i will say that like yeah i'm marriage built i but i will say though that like there's like i'm like there's a ring that i want and there's like like things that i want and like those things need to like be able to like happen um yeah no and like y'all don't play with me wait that no no i want to get i want to get that ring guys don't let your partners come to me about shit just kidding actually no they can come to me well mind you first of all they're gonna have to get my blessing of course so now it's awkward of course second of all they can come to me for the planning what i meant is don't come to me about the ring because y'all gonna hate y'all fucking no first off or send me the can y'all just send me first these are the things we need to think about oh i already know what ring i want oh wow what is it the like bezel cut do you know that like basil like the i'll show you like the seasoning um like bosler men or let's see okay we can do this sorry we can also do this no no no oh um oh how do you spell it like that no oh wow um that's the thing too is i did look at engagement rings for the first time in my whole life that's how you know my frontal cortex is developing because i look he was like what if i need to pull trig someday and like i don't know and i just didn't like any ring i saw i sent this to you which is unfortunate i wanted to be like i've got it oh as in right now yeah i thought you meant like i've sent it to you i was like oh no then so i've got it no i'm like i want it to be like unique like i wanted to like that one where it's like funky and like kind of like like the shape is like this one yes really oh wow i looked at granite wasn't an engagement ring but it was like this with like an opal stone yeah oh but like that with like an actual diamond in it would be like so t or like see that stack like to the oh because the girls do be like stack attack yeah because like that one can be your engagement ring one could be like the wedding band you know what i mean like a situation like that when i've been last so i've been like i've been like i've been i can't interrogate him no fine or like yeah like something like unique like i definitely don't want like a trad like wait do you guys know sorry go ahead no no no that's all i was just gonna ask the girls if they know what rings they want do you guys want to get married not sure undecided not we got some undecided sorry to say it like i don't know what to say i do want to have a celebration i do want to just like keep celebrate love i will say let's celebrate you for your birthday oh my god right well maybe on like our five-year-old do like a celebration but again i've said it a million times the one thing about a wedding that eats is like y'all can't tell me nothing like you have to cancel everything and i can't just do that if i'm doing some dumb shit like yeah you can you can you know we would cancel everything so that i can like so that like me and my fucking tired chopped boyfriend that y'all know about like are gonna just like tell you guys so we love each other in front of everyone huh damn but to say the date wedding baby ain't no back talk hey you know i'll go to anything and everything yeah if you wanted to celebrate like the one year anniversary of like your big toe i would like no and i appreciate y'all hey but i will say as someone who was like chronic not chronic that sounds like as someone who was single for 28 years though like dead i see you um you know you could celebrate being single too this is true this is true and i feel like we do need to do that more because people in relationships get celebrated all the time for doing a bunch of fucking what well and i just feel like we should celebrate single people more and like find more reasons dude i celebrate single being single every time i go out with you guys by myself me too that ass me the fuck too okay well guys thanks for hanging out guys thanks for hanging out um thank you thank you so much neighborhood watch neighborhood watch um even wearing whatever you want to coachella uh neighborhood watch secret lives and mormon wives i know shit's going down right now so like i'm not i don't and i'm i'm two seasons behind but i will say that like i'm watching it right now and i kind of like said it in the last episode but i'm just like these moms who arguably just be doing shit and like whatever and just be like being girls as fuck and like whatever i don't know i can't speak to all the nuances because i'm not caught up so if like shit's going down and like shit's crazy like i'm not trying to promote that what i do think is that i'm not trying to promote that i'm not trying to promote that i'm not trying to promote that like i don't know if i watch it because it's like it's weirdly comforting for me i don't know why i think it's because it couldn't be more opposite of the life that i live and like these moms like dead ass live in utah are mormon and like do everything that i do not do yeah and like wear beige and like it i don't know why it literally and like park sweaters and i'm like yeah god like i don't know why i live for them but i do yeah but more importantly i do think like all of them are the breadwinners and i'm like i don't know why i live for them but i do yeah but they're the breadwinners and their family and i don't think like like you know people shit on influencers and stuff because they're like that's so fucking like vapid or whatever the case maybe they think about the narrative about influencers is but like gen genuinely high genuinely like dead the fuck assily if men were influencers the narrative would never be like they're so vapid and like oh my gosh look she whipped out her phone to make a tiktok or like whatever the case may be and yes there is a nuance and yes there is like a conversation to be had about things but i will say that like the way they provide for their families and like put their husbands through medical school and like do all these things that are like they're dead ass like the matriarch of the fucking family is like something that is actually so cool to me and like i if anything i have respect for like the girls for that yeah and i don't know i i think that like you know they're doing their job and they're doing their job and they're doing their this all with like fucking five kids each bro and like have been married since 22 and i just think that like despite you know religion and the patriarchy try to tell them like you have to live this way they're like choosing a different way whether it's the right way or not and these girls be doing all sorts of shit that like literally make my head spin upside down like genuinely at the end of the day i think like i it really made me just look at how you know even like yeah i'm a fucking la piece of shit and like you know i work in like the um the the industry of social media and stuff and like i feel like there is that narrative where i'll feel so embarrassed about like i have to film a brand deal or like i have to do something but like at the end of the day i'm like literally providing for myself and like a man who like has slack like has a fucking slack and like meetings and like you know why is that more honorable than like someone who's able to like even like when people make fun of like when tiktok was going away they're like yeah finally but i was just like okay but how many like you know and it's not just like women but it's also like just people were able to like finally get out of debt finally like do something that's not back breaking fucking labor that like you know by just like doing something like tiktok or youtube or like all these different things so i guess all to say like in the weirdest way possible would i find inspiration from a group of mormon women in utah i guess so maybe maybe a little bit i can't lie i can't lie these these girls they go through shit and they are part of big shit and they do big shit crazy shit i would never fucking do but you know what they're also like the matriarch of the family so i like have like hella fucking respect for that yeah and it like makes me want to like weirdly live in utah so like i don't know i would never do it i would never go and i'd be miserable and like i do not yearn for the suburbs but like when i tell you they like never in my life has swig looked so good oh whoa it's not hard for swig to look good you know what i mean yeah of course and like never in my life have i've been like okay well all right y'all well bye next wednesday love y'all see y'all bye coca-cola for the big for
