Speaker 2 (00:28):
No more Dino Nuggies. So my boyfriend, he's a very
picky eater.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Ok.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And we've been living together for a few months and
it seems like I can never get his food right
and it's honestly discouraging. I have kids, they seem happy
to eat my food. I cook for family gatherings, church
events and have never had a problem with people eating
my food except for with him. Hmmm. Interesting. And by
(00:58):
the way, this comes from Moon Rabbit thirty six. And
if you want to speirral stories, what are the r
slash Okay stories? So I'm sub Reddit, I'm Riley.
Speaker 1 (01:05):

Speaker 4 (01:13):

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Wait what really, you're learning things?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
See, you don't even.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Know that I am learning things about myself.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
We're learning things about you.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
That's that's cool. Yeah that makes sense though.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, I mean I've always had to introduce myself to
which is always like the most fun, but not me
learning about myself through you guys, that's kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah. Yeah, we've like looked into your whole life. You
can ask us more questions and what you know really yeah,
like you relationship with your family, we know about that.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Why are you gonna say like that?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Sorry? Yeah, I mean as the resident Filipino. Come on,
we have to share the same at least some common
traits with our families.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Okay, give me an example.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Are you always late? See? You have to think about it.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
No, because okay, okakay, it depends when it comes to
like when it comes to work functions, sometimes it makes
more sense to show up a little later because that's
when more people come through.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Okay, okay, what about what about like the family party.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
When it comes to family parties, I'm actually always on.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Time, so like two days later?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Right, No, always on time. I'm always on time. But
but the problem is because it's a family function, and
I go with my family to the bigger family function,
right yeah, I have to literally just wait in the
car for an extra hour.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I know you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
See.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay, so we do share that, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Oh yeah, And by the way, we're here to give
good advice, goofully, and we don't have all the answers,
but if you know something, please add it down in
the comments sound below.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Actually, yeah, that would be so helpful. I feel like,
you know, young ready to learn, not trying to make
too many mistakes. So good, I'm ready, and we want.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
To shout out Lana and Powell. They work behind the scenes,
they live in the Philippines and you do. Yeah, and
they absolutely love you, so they wanted could you shout
them out? Lana and Pale Yeah, Pale, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Hi, Hi guys. I wish I got to meet you
at least like through FaceTime or zoom, but even if
it's after, that's totally fine. I just wanted to say
thank you and I wanted to honestly learn about you
guys's stories. Thank you for being fans of what I do.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
That's really cool, awesome. Heck yeah, So here's the story.
It's like every day there's new rules with with Op
and our partner, Okay can't eat chicken for dinner because
he had chicken for lunch. He really isn't in the
mood for pork chops.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
That's valid. Do you know how long it takes too?
I'm so sorry for no, but do you know how
long it takes to actually digest pork?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I tried it a while ago and it took longer
than I wanted.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
How long did it take you?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I wanted it to be twelve minutes, and it took
me like twenty two to twenty four.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
What does that mean for pork chops that we're.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Talking about, It actually usually takes four hours four hours.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yes, what kind of pork chops are you making?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
No, it's just pork period.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh yeah, what about cream barbecue when you have like
thin slices, It takes like maybe a couple of minutes
for that to be cooked. You don't have to wait
four hours for that.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But more so like digesting the food itself, not cooking it. Oh,
it takes four hours. Wow, it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It does take a lot. That explains a lot too.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And that's why I'm such a terrible Filipino because I
don't eat pork.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You don't wait, that's kind of that's kind of cool.
I mean it's pretty healthy.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It's annoying.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, it's pretty healthy for you.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, it's also annoying because it's like, oh, I want
to go to this Ken's like, I don't eat that.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Oh do they not have options?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
We do well sometimes, but I just don't like pork.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
You just don't like pork. You've never liked pork. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
A don't see my parents kind of like gas lip
me or my mom did with like pork a dopo,
and I was like, this doesn't taste like chicken, and like, no,
it's chicken. It's chicken. I'm like, yeah, it doesn't taste
like chicken. And then when I grew realized my flavor
palate is like I don't like pork.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I feel like you just haven't had it the right way.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Oh, that's good, respectfully.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
We'll talk about this later. Talk about this.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It does eat at a lot of restaurants. Wow, so
it's just missing something. He doesn't eat onions, tomatoes, fish,
any kind of Asian food. He doesn't eat most vegetables,
with the exception of broccoli.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
He only eats vanilla ice cream. And he doesn't like
food heated in the microwave. Leftovers are out. He doesn't
like corn. It's just endless and I'm old trying to
be a good partner. I could eat the macrowife thing.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
No, corn's catching astray.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Wait, there was no resistance to like beef.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Right, we didn't know. He hasn't say anything about beef
or broccoli.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It doesn't say anything about like a food allergy. Either
it just seems like doesn't eat that stuff. It was
a food allergy would makes sense, I guess, yeah, But
or like like for me, I don't eat pork. I
just don't like it. But he doesn't like a lot
of things.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I don't know. It just doesn't seem like he likes
what she's cooking though.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well, I mean, is he starving?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Maybe has he cooked before?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So he says he can't really cook at all. His
favorite meal is hamburger.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Helper, hamburger helper. Wait, what's that?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's like, oh, I hate it.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I can't. I can't eat hamburger helper. Huh it's mac
and cheese, okay, with already added meat. Is that right?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It's like it's like you put like hamburger meat and
it's like mixed, but you microwave it. It's like in
a box.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Wait, I thought it doesn't like microwaving food.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
He might.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I think like leftovers. I think left their front. So
like if you already if it was already made, and
then you have to put in the fridge and it
was cold and then put it back in the microwave.
He doesn't like that.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Oh wait, no, that's kind of valid because like it
leaves the room for bacteria to.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Kind of just yeah, but if you're like I don't know,
air frying it, reheating it, bacteria will go away right that.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I'm actually not sure. But I also just on my end,
have a very sensitive stomach, Like I have to have
food the at the temperature they're actually supposed to be
eaten at, like when they're freshly. Really like, if I
don't have it like that, I actually get really sick.
No way, and I wish that wasn't the case, because
that feels very high maintenance. But that's just been And
(07:40):
you're on the road a lot too, I am.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yes, yeah, why you have your friend back there? She
helps you out?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah? Sweet, Okay, damn sorry, I'm trying to figure out
how we solve this situation.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I feel like we have a lot more context to
get okay, maze, we can like I don't know, so
I think a lot of it is how he grew up,
but dang, it is frustrating. The first picture is tonight's dinner.
I added more pictures of stuff I have cooked that
he won't eat, Like he will door dash jack in
the box and he'll be apologetic, but it's just really bad.
(08:15):
We have an image here.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Can I see?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Also, hi, everybody, someone said making hamburger helper is cooking.
Yeah wait, what did we I'm so sorry. I legit
for gob what we said.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
No, it's a meal in the box that you add
hamburger two while you're cooking it on the stove. Yeah,
you cook it on the stove. Some people microwave it,
but like, oh, I don't know, it's not like the
freshest thing.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's like saying cooked like chicken noodle soup.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Oh, it's a bunch of okay, so it's a bunch
of images.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I've never made chicken noodle soup. I'm so sorry. I
wish I understood rumen.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Literally, it's like putting it in a can, into a
pot and heating it up.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Oh really, that's how you do it.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
You don't make it from scratch.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
What about tomato soup? Have you ever made that?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, oh okay, cool. Yeah, it's just like making tomato soup.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I've made it from scratch though.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Okay, Well, imagine getting helped to the point where you
just need to put it into a pot.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Oh, like in a packet and yeah, like probably put
it in a Yeah. Okay, okay, does that kind of
cooking I mean technically yes, it's just not done from
scratch as all. Yeah, like you you buy like a
packet that has all the ingredients be made into what
you're asking.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And then you just add water to it and heat
it up.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, but isn't that.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
The same as like, I don't know, putting leftovers in
the microwave.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
That I actually don't know because I don't even understand
like the the process of how people even create those
packets in the first place.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Mm.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
So we're getting really technical right now.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
You're just crazy of things.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, so you have that picture?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yes, so sorry, there's.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Multiple pictures coming up. So's like their meals?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Oh six pictures? What the heck?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, yeah, it's just it's just talking about like the
meals that you want to pull them up or A No,
they're not think they're not crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So Image one tonight's dinner broccoli baked potato and Image
two chicken, broccoli, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Three A roasts
of some sort with meat and vegetables for a plate
of soft shelled tacos. Five broccoli potatoes, carrots, beef, and
six pie.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
That's all the things that he likes.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
So this is I think she took a picture and
she's gonna give us a breakdown of what.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
He likes and doesn't like.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I think, yeah, that's cool. So for the first one,
which is broccoli, baked potato.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
And port chops, all right, she's prepared, let's go.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I know, the paper plates are very lazy on my part.
I'm not proud of that, and I need to do better.
Between the kids and the job and the house and school.
I'm going to school remotely. I have been cutting quarters
on things like dishes.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Not excuse me, you also go to school. She also
goes to school.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Full time mom, full time cook and school. We'll give
you a pass on the paper plates.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I mean, it makes sense. You're saving time, you know,
doing more school than washing dishes.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
All right, that's just kidos to you. Seriously, I hope
she takes breaks for a self.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Does it sound like she's getting them.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And he's making it a lot harder when she cooks
a good meal and he's like, I don't want that.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Oh dude, Okay, here's the second one. My boyfriend does
expect me to cook for him? I cook him dinner
every night and lunch on the weekdays. Does he eat
breakfast and will not take lunch to work? He buys
fast food lunch during the week. Interesting three, he has
been diagnosed with asd or adhd or urfred. That's a
(11:35):
new one. But I don't rule anything out. So these
are just like a few notes about him.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Mostly I want to say thank you. I was not
prepared for how kind and helpful and insightful people have been.
It's deeply cut touching, and it's giving me both peace
and guidance for the next steps. So from what we know, now,
what do you think OP should do to solve this problem?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I just think there needs to be a balance. Like
if he does expect her to cook, I just hope
that that's something they both are like aligned on, Like
that's like h Like if she doesn't want to do it,
then that's like a different story. Like if this is
actually what she wants and go queen, first off, like damn,
(12:21):
like everything that she's doing and everything that she's balancing
is crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
First off, it doesn't sound like this is what she
wants to do.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Well, if it's not what she wants to do, then
I think they should have a conversation about that. But
if this is something that she actually wants to do
and they both actually aligned on that, I feel like,
if he's starving, you might have to give him what
he wants to just make sure he doesn't stop right,
like if he's I'm trying to find balance here, but
(12:48):
I do think they should have a serious conversation about
like balancing the food that he like just inherently likes,
but also balancing the nutrients he needs to be able
to do everything that he needs to do in a day. Yeah,
because you know, same could really go for her. I'm
actually worried about her health.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah. Yeah, she's running around feeding him and the kids
and doing school and working. I'm assuming, yeah, she's got
a lot on her plate.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I wonder how her sleeping hours are like, and if
she even has like potential like health problems or health
problems that run in the family. Same with the husband.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Are they married, dyfriend?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah? Oh okay, Honestly, I feel like we need to
find her, sit her down with you me, and then
you can give her a game plan. You sound like
like an amazing like oh gosh, like a physical therapist
kind of really you in person? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Oh man, Well, I will say, like, uh, just how
I was raised growing up so one, I'm a middle
child of five kids.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
No, no, no, it's actually great, Like it was very interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Do your parents know that you're like one of their kids?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah, they actually feel.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Like that's like forgotten about life.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
And that's what I've heard. I wish I understood what
that experience was like. But I got really really lucky
my parents. Although they were always busy because my parents
migrated from the Philippines to Australia, they were always at work,
which I totally understand. But I think what I found
joyan was being able to contribute to helping them. So
(14:26):
like I helped raise my younger siblings. I felt like
I was not to suit my own horn, but like
I was, in a sense like the bridge and communicating
between my older siblings and my younger siblings and my
parents and my siblings. That that was really really cool.
And I would say, like a lot of the stuff
that I said about the situation that you read out,
(14:47):
that's kind of what the headspace I was operating from
but also like I had a lot of health problems
that happened when I was younger. Oh yeah, so cause
I started in the industry at like I would say,
seven years old, but then things started really ramping up
when I was thirteen and I was on a reality
show in another country that had a drastically different culture
(15:12):
than Australia. So even adjusting to that, learning a new language,
also learning how to keep up with the different schedule
because I was put on tour, which is all great
and at the same time crazy stuff to do at
a really young age, but it's a.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Step away from normal. Yes, it doesn't sound like a
lot of consistency.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That's very true. But like the point that I did
want to get to was it did take a toll
on my health. So I had to actually be really
anal about the type of food that I eat, when
I have to eat it, the pills that I need
to take. Per our conversation earlier, which is why I
asked you what your diet was like, like maybe you
(15:52):
maybe taking magnesium pills could be helpful for you so
you don't get tired at this point in time, Like.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
She's helping me with my caffeine.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
A didgar never, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
She's like, you should take my music. She was giving
me a whole list earlier.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, it's beautiful, looky, but yeah, that's that's like the
headspace I was really operating from.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah. Yeah, and how many hours sleep do you get? Eighteen?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I definitely have to take eight to ten. Before I
was operating off of like four to six hours, But
lately I've been really good. I've been taking like eight
to ten hours.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
All right, let's go what about uk on what are
you operating off of?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Let's not talk about why.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I mean, you're hustling.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, I get it. Yeah, it depends because I have
trouble sleeping.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Damn you too.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, I have to sometimes I have to take like
a sleep aid or something like that or help help me,
you know, relax at night because sometimes I'm just a
night owl.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Do you take caffeine?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
No? Not really really. I mean sometimes I'll have like
an energy drink here and there. Okay, that's not like
you don't look at me, don't say anything. You drink
like three day? No?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
No I do not? I okay every other day? Have
you not noticed this? Every other day?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Now I'm proud of you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Look at you dogs.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, but for me, I would probably get on average
around at least six to eight I try to, but
sometimes it's good. Yeah, it's not like three hours of sleep.
It's like roughly it could be an average of like
six sometimes maybe seven hours.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Ming Ming one of our peeps from the Philippines, three
to five hours of sleep.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Three to five hours.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
How are you like.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
If you need to go to bed right now, please
do It's all good.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And she's in the Philippines right now, so it's probably
really late.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Just keep us one, that's all we have.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Let me take the time in the Philippines. What time
is It isn't like three am? Sorry, it's three am
right now, it's almost five am. Why are you awake?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Maybe she's a morning person, that is that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I drink get okay, wow, wait, you've been to the Philippines.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Right, Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Man, do you remember that sound when you wake up
in the morning and you hear the hale?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, with the roosters. Yeah. I show my girlfriend to
holl and she loves to hoe and she loves that.
Who's that? I'm like, that's that's my that's my morning coffee.
Right there.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
So this person has a solution to Opie's problem. Really,
so Creddington twenty twenty three says, stop cooking for him.
He can cook, slash order what he wants. You're just
wasting food otherwise. But what's with the paper plates? You
can get really cheap plates at Goodwill or even new
ones at Target. He said, It's very bad to me.
I work full time. He and I commute together to
(18:41):
the big city and it's an hour each way. I'm
also going to school remotely too, between that and the
kids and housekeeping. But those are excuses, I know. I'm
just trying to say afloat most days.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Ooh, this problem very valid. Yeah, I just feel like
it's there's a bigger problem above it, and this is
a symptom of it.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I see it, you know what I mean. I see it.
I'm thinking, here's my heart take okay, taking advantage of
the situation. Oh, He's like, all right, sure, cook for me,
but like, I'll eat whatever I want. I'll eat it
when I want. Because he likes chicken, but he refuses
to eat it because he just had it earlier. I'm
not really getting I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm kind of one of those people. I can't have
like the same thing all day.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, Like I need to have food fatigue.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, yeah, fatig I get variability. Like sure, if it's there,
I won't complain, Like it's food, I'm gonna eat it.
But if I'm eating chicken for every meal every day,
I'm going to start to hate chicken. I get it. Yeah,
I need to switch it up. But like when it
comes to like veggies or like mashed potatoes, the same
thing I just need, Like for us, it's like rice,
(19:49):
like we love I love rice. I'll have rice every day.
I will never get tired of rice.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
That's cool. I love rice too.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Repost from four chan says any kind of Asian food,
having traveled to seven countries in Asia, I have no
idea what that means. They eat everything. He says fair
about the Asian food. He won't eat sushi, won't eat dupplings,
won't eat stir fry, won't eat fried rice or rice noodles,
won't eat toafood or Okay, it probably be faster to
(20:19):
list what he does eat. He eats ground beef, potatoes,
chicken without bones, rice to a degree, cheese, chili, pickles, sausage,
green beans only Italian cut and only out of a can,
canned stewed, fast food hamburgers with no veggies on them,
fast food tacos with only meat and cheese on them,
(20:40):
vanilla ice cream, and beef jerky.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Is he not no pickles or like vegetables?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Don't tell him that he probably will stop eating it?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Interesting?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, what do you think about this guy's nutrition?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
This guy's diet is interesting?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Mmm? I guess it just because everything that you said
is like all the things that he eats, right, But
it's not the thing that he eats in a day.
Those are just things that if he thinks of.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Like that's like his food limit, Like he won't try
anything else. He won't eat anything else. That's like that's
all he'll eat.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I mean, is his goal to just like keep to that?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Like? Is he?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I just have more questions. Is he trying to bulk
up for the season? Is he?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Is he trying to.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Stick to that? So he's not trying to try new restaurants?
So new food?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Okay, Now, if you said, hey, I got chicken a
double right here or something like my friend's Filipino lumpia,
simple the easiest thing. Everyone loves lumpia for the most part.
And you introduced it to him and he said, no,
won't touch that one. He won't even bite it. How
would you.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
React, Well, I mean, that's just that's just what it is.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
He's like he has ground, it has ground, beef, it
has everything that you like in there, you know, but
he won't try it because it's just something he's not
used to, or he's like he's never had before.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I know a guy that only eats potatoes. Wait, what
only eats potatoes?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Like nothing else, nothing else he.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Won't eat he doesn't like meat. He eats French fries
and he's like he's like almost twenty and he's going bald.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Whoa, whoa Wait, sorry that was a shaka.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, no going bold. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Is it just because he only eats potatoes, because that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, only only potatoes. Yeah, it's sad. It's really sad.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Do you guys, like, do you guys know all of
this stuff? Like if you only eat potatoes, you're gonna
lose hair. Someone literally said Riley with the fuck.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, I know, I know he's Yeah, I won't talk
more about that guy, but yeah, it's kind of sad.
It's kind of sad. Someone said, Italian cut green beans.
Is that even a thing? I've never heard of those before?
MENI though, Yeah, I didn't know Italians messed with green
beans like that. I have a long history with green beans.
Oh yep. I grew up a kind of on a farm.
Oh nice, worked at the sawmill in the morning till three,
(22:53):
and then in the evening worked in the garden picking
green beans. Yeah. The green beans were probably like fifteen
meters long, and then there were like one, two, three, four,
six rows of them, six to nine rows fifteen meters long,
and there were two gardens of that. How long does
it take you, too, uh to pick them? Oh gosh,
probably like a row. It'll take like two to three hours.
(23:15):
You'll get like a bushels, like like three to four gallons,
and you'll get like a bushel in that time. Yeah,
and you sell it by the bushel.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Wow. Yeah, that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
It's real Southern stuff r out there.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Oh okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
This other person says Thomas and Anna. I say this
with love, Ope, but this relationship sounds exhausting. You're working
very hard with your job, giving your children delicious meals,
making informed decisions on what news you consume in this
crazy world. You sound like a lovely human being, And
I'll ask something that was once asked for me. Does
(23:53):
this man make your life better? Notes? I'm not asking
if you love him, but does he improve your well being? Hiness,
et cetera, et cetera. Like you do for him, what
is he bringing to your life? No P. Says as
a downvoted comment, I had to read this a few
times and sit with it. He listens to me, reminds
me to take my medicine. He drives me and I'm
(24:15):
such a nervous driver. He cares when I cry. He
makes me laugh If I'm truthful, it hasn't been good
for my health. I do too much and neglect my health.
But don't women do that? Don't We burn brightly for
people we love and it always comes at a cost,
doesn't it. It isn't always like that interesting, So we
(24:37):
kind of got a little insight on their life. We
have another update.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Dang, that's rough. The fact that she's like, you always
have to sacrifice something, right, Oh, That's what being a
woman is is just sacrificing every day to make the
people you love happy at a point, Yes.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
But I got from my mom. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, But it's like you also need to realize sometimes
you need to have your self at the top of
that list. You know, you can't always put yourself at
the bottom. You sure some dates, but not every day.
And those people that you love should also have you
on top of that list too. Not treat you like
you're at the bottom of that list every day. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
If the planes crashing, what do you got to do first?
Are you?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Oh this is not rhetorical, john planes crashing?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I mean things drop down. What do you do first? Oh?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Don't you? Don't you take the thing and then breathe?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Put you put your oxygen mask on first before you
put others on?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Oh? Yes, yes, yes, I was like, wait, did you mean,
like Johnson, the.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
First thing you do is jump and that's it?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Are we are? We crashed?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, you gotta like put your oxygen mask on before
you can help others. Yes, if you keep burning, burning brightly,
gonna fizzle out.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
What's the what's the one that John always says about?
You know, this is a lot, but it's like you
like your yourself on fire to warm other people up.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, don't light yourself on fire to warm others.
If you've been doing that.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I wouldn't say so. I think i've I've found a
good balance to make all of it work. It definitely is.
It's a lot of how do I say this, It's
a lot of thinking that has to go onto play.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
It feels like chess, Yeah, forty chess or just five
D five.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
D yeah, just to make sure everything is moving and everybody,
including myself is taken care of. It's fun though for me.
I like chess a lot, But I'm trying to think
about the situation. I feel like the first question that
comes to mind is what do you want out of life?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Mmm?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Like that's that feels like the overarching question, and then
that's going to lead to a bunch of more questions
just to kind of realign her.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
With Yeah, have we lost the path in some ways?
You really like how everything's going? We need to pivot.
I like that. Yeah, I like that. We have a
little bit of an update here two days ago or
two days later. I think things are changing. Just me
posting the post was a sign to myself that I
am not happy with the status quo. I'm generally a
(27:00):
pretty patient person, but like last night, I made him
chili dogs in fries because that is something he will
consistently eat, and I was cooking something for the kids
that I knew he wouldn't eat. When I took it
to him, he said, you're not gonna believe this, but
I had chili dogs for lunch, and I blurted out,
I don't care. We were both shocked, and I think
(27:20):
I went back to the kitchen. Oh, we have another
small update the next day. This was tough love, and
I thank you for it. This post was just me
venting from my kitchen into the void, but it turned
into something very different. Apparently there are a lot of
things that I thought or think or normal that are
maybe not normal at all. I made a decision to
(27:42):
start Therapye. Oh that's good. Wow, it's a big, big step.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
That is a big step.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
It's fully covered through my job, and I think it's
going to be helpful to have a sane adult I
can talk to. I know it might not be the
big step people would like to see me take, but
I just don't trust myself fully right now to be
making the big decisions.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Wait, that's good though, that's self aware.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
This is a big step. Yeah. Yeah, I just want
to say thank you and to let you know that
it did read your comments and it did help me
and we have another update.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I think that's brilliant taking that step. Yeah, because if
you're like, am I crazy? It's good to have a
good soundboard to talk too.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Also, just that's just crazy. That ope, he made a
specific meal for him that he knows that, like, oh,
you know what, I cooked the kid's dinner. But I
love this guy. I'm gonna cook him a chili dog
because he loves chili dog. And he responds with I
had that for lunch. I don't want that.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Dude, I just throw the chili dogs in his face. Sorry,
if that's violent, Can.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You imagine like saying that to your mom or like
your mom cooked you like your favorite meal, but you
already had it earlier in that day and you're like, eh,
I don't want that.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Yeah, that can't happen exactly, and no.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
A Filipino mother, Nope, it's the you get what you
get and you don't get upset.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah. Wow, that is like that's a thought that would
never enter my mind to say mm hmm in.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
My house, if like you didn't want to eat it,
you just make yourself up peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah that's cool though. Yeah I love peanut butter. Yeah, yeah,
it's so good, great and protein.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
It is it is. I've been I make smoothies hmm,
and I put peanut butter powder in it.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
That's actually yeah, yeah that's something I've actually never tried.
But it is a hack litll.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Hack Okay, less fat and plus like it kind of
like fluffs up the smoothie. Nice.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
But yeah, going back to what you were saying, Okay, like.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
M hm, why didn't he a little bit right?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yeah, but why didn't he at least text.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
So or because he seems very pampered, very spoiled, and
oh he's spoiled. Oh you can tell. Yeah, because he's like,
I'll just eat whatever I want to eat. I get
what I want. I don't care like if you cook,
if you cook this, I'm not trying to get as
if it's something I will eat and if I already
had that that day, you have to make me something else.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I'm sorry. Kimberly Fun, you have the pauses. Kimberly says,
one time, I had a really long day at work
and I ate two famous bowls throughout the day. Had
a date with my husband at the drive in that
night and he stopped at KFC slash Taco Bell. I
had one of those of my hometown too. Kimberly fun,
I kept my mouth shut, and another famous bowl plus
a burrito. I felt like I was dying. Do not recommend?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Oh my gosh, I couldn't. I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Wait. Why. I feel like you could have said someone that.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I feel like you'd be like, ah, honey, I'll just
have that for lunch tomorrow, Like I'm not hungry at
that point.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Yeah? Wait? Why?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Oh? Man? But he has another update.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Okay, hey, it's Angie, your favorite fake redhead host here,
and we're going to get back to the stories.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
But he's a three minute ad break from our sponsors.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Two days later. Thank you. This was very thoughtfully written.
I am. I'm still trying to sort out what to do.
I want to make the right decision with a cool head.
I think it's leaning very much in that direction. She's
about to break up.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Oh really? Okay?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
So I set his plate in front of him, and
he looked at it for a minute, got up and
took it to the kitchen. He came back with some chips.
I said, not good, he said no, and I didn't
offer to make him anything else, didn't ask him what
was wrong with it, just said oh okay and shrugged
and went back to dinner. That sug him up, I
think because he's not used to me being nonchalant about it.
(31:33):
So I feel like something has changed. My mindset is changing.
I'm grateful for the encouragement and all the good advice.
I'm continuing to read the comments and replying when I
get breaks. It might be pathetic, but I don't really
have any grown up friends to talk to about this stuff,
so it's been helpful. And we have another update. So
(31:53):
I'm thinking this is what's happening. She cooks food, gives
it to him, I don't want it. She goes back
cook something else and brings it to him, so she's
kind of wasting her day. It seems like.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
She's already high strung, high stress with school kids, cooking,
cleaning the whole nine yards pretty much.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
But what the heck? And she also doesn't really have
much friends, which means she's like she only has really
herself as a soundboard before she saw a therapist, and
also the boyfriend. Boyfriend has her only other soundboard.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Oh not good, not good, We have another update.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
She's very isolated.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah, I was gonna say I would show this man
ratituy and be like, listen, anybody could cook. That's like,
if you're gonna complain about my cooking, go ahead and
cook because you look like you got free time to
just hang out and have someone cook for you. You
know what, you could. I want Opie to have someone
cook for her because it seems like she's always cooking.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah, i'd cook for her.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Does she never like want to order in?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Sometimes they look like they do fast food?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But I could afford it because just to the kids too.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Update four, He's not going to eat the pork chops.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
So true bad that's a crazy title.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
So about a month ago, I'm going to host here
because my boyfriend didn't want to eat the pork chops
I cook for dinner. Well tonight I made pork chops again,
and he's not going to eat these either because we
broke up and he moved out.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
No.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh wow, holy cow, she did it.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Okay, how is she? How's she doing? Now? How's she feeling?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I am so much better off and I just want
to say thank you for all the kind words and advice.
It was very eye opening to me. And I wish
I could invite you all to dinner and she has
some more images of yummy food. Good for her. She
needed to do this. Then you think, could you see
this coming?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I mean I did, ye, yeah, I just man, I
think the lack of clarity of what she wanted, like
as as you were reading, and I probably, man, my
bad for not letting you finish every everything, Like I said,
interrupt me cool with that.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
That's what we do here. Yeah, yeah, we It happens
a lot where we're reading something and they were like
do this and literally the next sentence is I did it,
and you're.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Like a good for you?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, just one sentence.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
No live reactions are good. Yeah, no, it was.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
It's just more so if they I'm not even sure
if they aligned on what they wanted like and like
honestly so just even the lack of clarity on that
end to be able to know if if this was
a compatible incompatible situation relationship, it could have saved her
(34:38):
so much time.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
And this is what I pulled up this image because
this is this just like a happy meal for oph
That looks awesome. Yeah, and she's cooking that for the kids,
but it seems like he doesn't want to eat that.
M I could eat that, right, that looks really good.
This is probably her like her first time making a meal,
and she's genuine not dreading cooking joint cooking.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Some of Opie's comments, fun Button says, were you the
one where he would order Jack in the box and
eat it lukewarm instead of eating your home cooking? Oh what?
And Opie says, yes, he would door dash Jack in
the box instead of eating her cooking Jack in the box.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
To my understanding, I've actually never had Jack in the box.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I don't around the corner if you didn't check it out.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
No, is it not the healthy? I don't know if
it's not.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
It's fast food. It's fast food.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Got Winny's, McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
It's jolly. It's like, if you look at the rankings
of fast food Jack in the boxes, not to bash
on them, there is just like a little bit lower
than like in and out, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Yeah, that's that's so sad.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, so Opie clarifies, I broke up with him. It
wasn't right after my last post, but after my last
appointment I made with a therapist. During my second appointment,
I just blurted out everything that I was really unhappy
with and told the lady.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Everything, Okay, that's good, that's good.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, ride a bunch, slept on it. Broke up with
him the next day. He moved in with his brother
that weekend. Wow, so there was, like you said earlier,
there was so much more happening behind the scenes.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Yeah, that's so crazy.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
M h.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
I hope she's happier. I hope she's healthier, and I
hope the kids are safe and we'll see and happy
and learning doing well because this is just such a
crazy situation. Especially I don't even know if like them
when they were a couple at the time, if they
had fights in front of the kids. I just I
hope it's a healthier environment for everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah, it seems like OPI so much happier. She's working
on what she wants to do. Yeah, no more manchild
being upset.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Yeah, and we get it. There's like sometimes there's compromise.
I get it. If like for me, I don't eat pork.
So my partner she's like, okay, won't eat pork or
you know, she'll try and to be thoughtful about that,
especially if she orders food, because I love food, so
she like try this, and obviously we share meals. But
if it's pork, I'm like, no, it's okay, eat it,
and she's like, are you sure. I'm like, yeah, you
(37:06):
can eat around it. No. But this seems a little
bit too too much where my partner like, again, if
it's a food allergy or our film or something like
that makes sense, but it just seemed like he was stubborn,
didn't care.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yeah, you should. You should read one.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Well. I was gonna say, we have some red flag
green flags.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Oh oh okay, guess.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
We should do that.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
I think there's some red flag green flags behind you, rightley.
But before while you're grabbing that, we do have a
special guest here today, Elo. If you want to go
ahead and introduce yourself one more time, who you are,
what you do, Please go ahead and let the people know.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Hi, guys, my name's Alana Gacia, but you can call
me Elo as the boys do. And I'm a artist
that does music and film, right now my focuses are
releasing music. Hence forth, the two singles not me putting
two two's up or singles called question marking could have been.
(38:03):
I just released it almost a four month ago, which
is crazy to think about. But yeah, I honestly forgot
what I was saying. But yes, hi, uh, and I'm
here today because these lads are just really really cool.
They reached out and I just wanted to collaborate with
cool people.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
All right, yea to hear some crazy stories. Yeah, okay, yeah,
this is for you. Okay, red flag flag for you? Okay,
key On made these, by the way, some of them. Okay,
here we go, we go. Red flag, green flag. Your
boyfriend says that he loves your independent but gets upset
(38:43):
when you make plans without asking him first.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
It could be a bag flag, It could be both flags.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
No, no, no, no, really, don't be on the fence.
Red flagger green?
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Can I plead the fifth?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
No? Really, you gotta put up a flag?
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Can you read it to me? Almosign?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
We're time? Red flag, green flagg. Your boyfriend says that
he loves your independent but gets upset when you make
plans without asking him.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
First, mmm, for now, I'll do a red flag, but
I will say why, I'm not sure about asking your
partner if it's okay to do things to make plans.
I think it's more so, Hey, like, here's my plans
for the day. What are your plans for the day.
Because just in case, like let's say you want to
(39:27):
eat a meal together, or you want to catch a
movie together. Of course it's like appropriate to a line
on whatevery, what you guys' schedule is yeaheah.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
No, no, no, I would say red flag.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Too, okray, do you want to put it up.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I'm putting it up. She's putting up for yeah, no,
no fair. Yeah. But like let's say, like he's like,
but I want to make sure.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Like your safe type for safe that's valid though, or
is it still red? I would make that green because
it like safety at least on my end. I man,
I got really lucky because I grew up being very
very well protected. Knowing the world out there, especially for women,
it can be very dangerous, especially in the industry on
(40:10):
my end that I'm in, there can be a lot
of predatory behavior. So if my partner per se were
to look out for my health. Not my health, sorry
for my safety. I'd respect that and I'd appreciate it. Yeah,
because safety is a big thing.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
It is is our next red flat green flag.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Okay, hey, it's Carly, your favorite Axeltel host.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
Here.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
We're going to get back to the stories, but here's
three minutes of ads from our sponsors.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Red flat green flag. Your partner needs to research and
plan every detail of a trip three months in advance.
Where he gets anxious.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
That's so valid. Yeah, it's so valid though, like having
to plan three months in advance.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
Mm hmm, like every to the tea, Yeah, twelve oh five,
restroom break, twelve oh six. Oh that putting up this
zipper twelve oh seven.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Okay, that's a little. That's a little too.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
And okay, if he doesn't do it, he gets anxious.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
On that's kind of hey, to each their own.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Yeah, that he plans every detail.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Okay, by the as long as he can, he collaborate
with me.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
He needs a planet if he needs to plan.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
It and we're both going on the trip, How does
that make sense? Because what if I have needs?
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Oh okay, okay, it's so easy to make it a
red flag.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Yeah, easy, you make it a red flag Riley.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Well, what I was gonna do is be like but
then he does this, okay, so so red flag or
green flag, he lets you collaborate.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
If he collaborates with me, then it's a green flag.
Planning like this, planning for the rest, like I would say, yes,
like having to plant advance, like even years ahead.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
What years ahead? Yeah? Wait, what do you have planned
out years ahead?
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Year's ahead, like releasing music, going on tour. Oh yeah,
like I think it's most because of the industry I
come from. I'm not sure about you guys.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
No, I mean we got our next ten years playing ahead.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
That's cool though, but like see that makes sense, right.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Yeah, every weekday we're here live at three pmpst key on.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
Yeah, that's a green flag. But yeah, like I get.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
It, I do.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I was gonna say, like to make it more intense,
what it's like a not like not like Riley's like
every minute, every every second, but like he plans it
out three days, three months in advance. But it's like
every day you have an itinerary. You don't have like
a free day. It's just like you're going you're going
back home, You're going to Sydney. But you can't go
see your family. We have to keep bam bam, bam,
bam bam. You don't have free time? Is that a
(42:38):
red flag or a green flag?
Speaker 3 (42:40):
Not being able to see my family and him not
wanting to see my family is like, it's kind of sad,
man why I love my family.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Family, tight schedule elo.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Okay, but what's the goal here? Like, what are we
trying to do. We're trying to explore.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yeah, I mean, if we're exploring.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Why not explore time? That's the weird. I'm sorry, why not?
Speaker 2 (43:01):
It's a red flag?
Speaker 3 (43:02):
These people raised me. That's a red flag. I'd want
to meet your family. Come on.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Yeah, oh here's another one red flag, green flag. Your
boyfriend comments, you don't need makeup, you're beautiful without it.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
Also, ciba, I think you're catching a straight someone. Also,
I learned the term stray in the States, So let
me know if I'm using it appropriately.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Oh you are? You are?
Speaker 3 (43:23):
But someone said Riley does not have years planned out?
Speaker 1 (43:25):
L mio.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (43:27):
I don't really talk about Okay, here's the thing about me.
Speaker 3 (43:30):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
I am a doer and not a talker.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
That's good though.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah. So I don't really talk about things that I'm
going to do because if I say I'm going to
do it, I'm going to do it. Is Angie's not
gonna watch this issuear?
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Probably, But what if it's like yeah, but if you
have goals with your team per se or like your partner,
shouldn't you talk about it with them?
Speaker 2 (43:53):
I mean, I've talked about like having kids and getting married,
but I haven't been like, you want to do it?
You know?
Speaker 3 (43:58):
I have asked a question, Sorry, that's like so crazy,
Yeah okay, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
Or like you know, I'll sign a contract be here
for a couple of years, but I'm not. I don't
know if it's I guess like I just don't really
talk about my my plans going in the future, so
I don't make many. So I feel like if I
say it, it's going to have to happen. And I
wrote then in a journal like a few years ago,
like my five year plan, I'm totally off, not near
it supposed to getting married next year really yeah, and
(44:27):
my five year plan.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
I mean, do you want but here's a question, do
you want that? Still?
Speaker 2 (44:32):
I wrote that five year plan after a breakup and
my life has changed so much since then, so it
was just like just it was just like help me
get aligned.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
Okay, yeah, but do you still want that though?
Speaker 2 (44:42):
Getting married? I mean eventually. I don't think i'll get married. Yeah,
twenty six, I might get married to like twenty eight, okay,
something that. Yeah, I mightn't even get married. Who knows.
I might become I don't know the next month.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
As long as it's what you want.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Yeah, you ride the life wave, you know.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Yeah, I might I don't know, produce beat and then
become the next DJ.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
That's cool. Yeah, that's really cool. Or just let me
know if you have shows. I want to show up.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Yeah, yeah, I got you free tickets.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
You a collab?
Speaker 3 (45:09):
Yeah that's it?
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Yeah, all right, next one, okay, Red flag, green flag.
Your boyfriend comments, you don't need makeup. You're beautiful without
it every time you get ready to go out.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
But that's sweet though, like him saying that, But I
think overatching question of why is it at that those
specific times? Yeah, why could you could you explain more?
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Well, give me give me a flag first.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
I would do this as a question mark because I
don't know why. Like I appreciate you saying I don't
need to put makeup on? But why is it only
every time I get ready to.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
Go that time, not whenever I don't have the makeup.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
On, or like we're going out? Yeah yeah, Like, how
come it's only one? Why are you saying that now? Yeah? Exactly?
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (45:54):
Are you guys talking like that?
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Man?
Speaker 3 (45:59):
You guys are so funny. You paint the picture really well.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
Though. He's probably saying it because you put you feel
like you have to like show up for the girls
in your best fit, but you don't need to.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Oh wait, that's so sweet. That's a green flag. I however,
I don't know how to relate purely because one, I
don't have a partner. Two, it is part of my
job to put on makeup, oh yeah, And three like
I don't usually go out unless I go to like
a round one and get plusues.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
Oh yeah, but I usually just.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
Have a hat on. I don't usually put makeup on,
wow I when I go out, okay in those occasions.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
Yeah, yeah, So we don't even know if this person
could say that to you. Yeah, they might be like, yeah,
makeup on, good, I'm glad you did that. Okay, Well, no,
once you get a partner. You let me know what
he says.
Speaker 3 (46:51):
Well, I'll say this then, because my family, Yeah, they
always appreciate it when I don't have makeup on because
girl growing up, like, I started working when I was seven, right,
so I had been around a lot of makeup artists.
They did my makeup and hair and I had to
wear very very performance ready outfits. Yeah, so they saw
(47:13):
me switch from me with plushes and not having makeup
and like in very very comfortable clothes. Two then me
like being performance ready. It kind of is like a
signal to them that if I don't like, if I'm
not performance ready, like I get to spend more time
with them.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
Yeah, I like you.
Speaker 3 (47:31):
I think that that's a green flag and yeah, and
they love that.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
So yeah, Keon, can you please read these You have
to read these next Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
Sure you get it right, Jelly, I am a singer songwriter,
Pillipan or Australian. I believe I got that right, Yes
you did. I'm giving you the validation.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah, I can read on these, Jella Buss, she loves it.
Speaker 2 (47:53):
These next ones are surrounded by the Filipino culture, so
I have to like read these two. O.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (48:01):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (48:01):
Some Katie said, makeup is not for him. Makeup could
just be for fun. That's true, and I think that
that's beautiful. Make sure he knows that.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Then.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
All right, now it's uh, what is this? Because you're
full Filipino, right, I am? Okay, So it's one and
a half Filipinos here now, Okay, they are talking. I'm
on behalf okay.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
So I do have a bit of Spanish and Chinese blood.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
I mean that's a yeah, yeah, that makes sense if
you look down a like the actual like break it
down to the DNA, you're like Filipinos just have like
crazy just lineages, you know.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (48:34):
I did a proper deep dive in mine last year.
I got a crazy lineage. I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Oh yeah, what was the craziest thing if you want
to talk about you don't have to tell us, But
if what was the craziest thing that you found?
Speaker 3 (48:46):
My relatives are a political dynasty in the Philippines. That
was one of the craziest things I found.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
I feel like it's always connected, Like if you go
down to like our lineage, we might be related.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
Probably what's your last name?
Speaker 1 (49:00):
My mother's last name is grospe Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:03):

Maybe you're you're you're rain brown, rain snow white.
Speaker 3 (49:53):

in the Philippines, the beauty standards was having pulselin white skin.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
Yeah, I was not. I was not that.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
I mean you kidding me.
Speaker 3 (50:10):
I could not deliver.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
I tried.
Speaker 3 (50:12):
I tried everything I did. I put lemon all over
my skin one time, like the.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
What's the the orange soap, the whitenings.
Speaker 3 (50:21):
I tried that too. It did not work.
Speaker 1 (50:22):
My mom gave that to me too, and you use it.
I'm like, no, no, I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
Good on you. I I definitely gave into the pressure.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
But it's a huge thing.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
Yeah, Luckily I was very appreciated for my skin though.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Yeah, I think it's like, as a kid, it's a
good thing. But then like you grew up, you're like,

can keep going, but it's for you. Oh valid, Okay,
so red flag green flag? You ready for this?
Speaker 4 (51:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (51:01):
He loves to gossip or talk drama twenty four to seven.
Speaker 3 (51:06):
That's fine. Yeah, yeah, you have a gossip buddy. Isn't
as long as it's not that serious.
Speaker 1 (51:13):
You know what I mean, It's like that's like his personality. Yes,
guess the T. Like first things like how is your
It's not how was your day? He's like, guess the T.
Guess what T I have? Is that a red flag
or green flag? I think it sounds like how.
Speaker 3 (51:26):
How he grew up, Like if that's just something that
his family or his friendship groups like always.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
That's how I agree?
Speaker 3 (51:34):
Did Yeah, then I think that's a green flag.
Speaker 1 (51:36):
Well it wasn't like it's not like my personality is
like I need drama twenty four to seven or I
love drama. It's all right, I have the T. Yeah,
everyone tells me everything and their secrets. Yeah, I mean
else I'm not going to share those secrets, but I
know things.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
You're a burden to carry, yes.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
Literally literally, Yeah, I think that's okay. I think it's
okay to have a little bit like if it's always
he's twenty four seven, Like, can you just tell me
how your day was?
Speaker 3 (52:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (52:02):
Ask me how my day was?
Speaker 3 (52:03):
Oh wait, twenty four seven?
Speaker 1 (52:04):
Rate is twenty four seven. I don't want my life
to be a Filipino you know, drama every every minute,
every waking hour. But it is.
Speaker 3 (52:14):
It also depends on what his job is. M okay
a right, Like what if he's a reporter, Okay, but
if he's a journalist.
Speaker 1 (52:20):
I like, how are you looking for like plot holes?
Speaker 3 (52:22):
You're like, I am looking for holes because that person,
good bro, I'm in entertainment, you know what I mean?
So I had like I've been through, man, but I
always try to I always try to understand to the
best of my abilities, like the three sixty situation. I
don't want to misunderstand anything because then you could like
(52:43):
wrongfully accuse someone, Yeah, and that would hurt both of you.
Speaker 2 (52:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:47):
And you also don't want to be spreading rumors.
Speaker 3 (52:50):
Yes, because how does that make you any better?
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Exactly? Yeah, exactly?
Speaker 3 (52:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
All right, here's another one. Are you ready? Red flag,
green flag? They always arrive late. I know we touched
on the subject earlier, but it's the it's the good
old Filipino time.
Speaker 3 (53:08):
I would okay, okay, off principle, it's a red flag
because it does signal, first off, that you don't respect
the other person's time.
Speaker 1 (53:18):
Yeah, yeah, that's time frame right right, But.
Speaker 3 (53:21):
Like to I would like to understand the situation because
you know, I will say, living and working in Australia,
the Philippines, in America, it is difficult to make a living.
Some blessed more than others. Yes, unfortunately, that's just a situation.
Speaker 1 (53:39):
He's going to be late sometimes.
Speaker 3 (53:41):
Yeah, yeah, I've read incredibly late.
Speaker 1 (53:43):
When the time that tricycle, it's gonna be late.
Speaker 3 (53:46):
Oh sorry that you Oh you were saying jeepney. Yeah,
oh that's valid. Have you taken a jeepney?
Speaker 1 (53:54):
Yeah, of course. Nice. They're fun until you get in
one and then you're like, I'm going to lose my life.
Yeah I was.
Speaker 3 (54:01):
I was gonna say, I was like. The driving the
Philippines already has me freaking out. Sorry. Yeah, the driving
the Philippines, from my experience, it's like they can. They
can make anything happen if they put them mind to it.
They can fit anyway.
Speaker 1 (54:14):
No, exactly, I'm not. See I'm a really good driver here.
I can't drive in the Philippines. I know. It's just
like I can. I can, but I'm too scared too,
because the drivers is are just there are no laws,
there are no palid there are no laws. I'm scared.
Speaker 3 (54:31):
I get it. I'm honestly scared to drive anyway though,
because the driving in Australia is also drastically different. Everybody
drives really fast, like really fast.
Speaker 1 (54:41):
Do you want a fun fact about me? The first
time I drove was in Australia.
Speaker 3 (54:46):
How was it for you?
Speaker 1 (54:47):
It was on the other side, like the steering wheels
on the other side, the roads were different. Ye, not great,
but at least they're wide on it, so it makes sense.
Speaker 3 (54:56):
Okay, yeahs Sydney's fast.
Speaker 1 (54:59):
Bro Sydney's it needs a lot like San Francisco when
I've compared it to really because it's like hilly and
like Bay bayish.
Speaker 3 (55:06):
Like Okay, if you're driving in the city, yeah, okay,
in the city, that I understand. But driving in La
let's hear it. In La is where I've seen the
most car crash.
Speaker 1 (55:18):
I was gonna say, compare the big three of Australian
Australian drivers, Filipino drivers or like driving in the Philippines,
driving in Australia and driving in the US. Kid, you
rank that. You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (55:28):
You can tell it's not that I would actually so
I would drive in Australia, Okay as number one. Okay,
they're really fast, but I've also acclimated. I can acclimate
really really fast.
Speaker 1 (55:37):
Everyone's on Milo and Vegemie. Yeah makes sense, Bra.
Speaker 3 (55:40):
Love Milo Wow, Okay, okay, Vegemite. I will have once
a month. I will have once a month.
Speaker 1 (55:46):
Sofia's upset over there.
Speaker 3 (55:47):
I'm so sorry, Sophia number two. I'll put sorry, I'll
put La. But I still am kind of afraid to
drive because sometimes they're just driving on the wrong street
and then the wrong way in l A.
Speaker 1 (56:03):
Yeah, and talking about the Philippines, Yeah, the Philippines is
the same thing, the Philippines. There is no one way.
It's just it's the way.
Speaker 3 (56:10):
The Philippines is the same thing. But I will say,
like traffic wise is probably the worst thing about it
in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (56:18):
Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (56:19):
La, I think I've just experienced seeing a lot of
car crashes, like in real time, m and just people
driving the wrong way, a lot of drunk drivers.
Speaker 1 (56:27):
Yeah, where are you driving? I've lived here and I've
only seen it seen like a couple like real time.
Speaker 3 (56:33):
Accidentally, most of the accidents I've seen are in North Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (56:38):
Yeah, that makes sense, it does.
Speaker 3 (56:39):
Why does it make sense.
Speaker 1 (56:40):
Because a lot of tourists go there, one, a lot
of tourists like go to like the Hollywood area, but
also there's a lot of like bars and like nightlife
around there.
Speaker 3 (56:49):
Oh yeah, yeah true.
Speaker 1 (56:50):
So like as you said, adult beverages, people want to drive.
They don't want to pay for ubers or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (56:55):
They're expensive, all right.
Speaker 1 (56:59):
I think I have a couple more here, Yes, red flag,
green flag. They add hot dog to their pasta or spaghetti.
Speaker 3 (57:06):
Oh wait, no, that's fine, like hot dog like little sausages. Right, yeah,
that's fine, Like we have that in our spaghetti.
Speaker 1 (57:14):
I know, yeah, that's okay. But if you said that
to like Sophia.
Speaker 2 (57:18):
What why is that?
Speaker 4 (57:19):
Why would I be against that?
Speaker 1 (57:20):
Well, you don't eat meat?
Speaker 3 (57:21):
Well are you against? Oh you don't eat meat?
Speaker 4 (57:23):
No, but I do. I put like, like the beyond
sausage in my pasta.
Speaker 3 (57:28):
What's a beyond sausage.
Speaker 4 (57:29):
It's like a vegetarian sausage. It's so good Italian specifically
really good.
Speaker 1 (57:35):
That's cool.
Speaker 3 (57:36):
Yeah, I actually want to try that.
Speaker 4 (57:37):
That's really I highly recommend. It's the only sausage, like
vegetarian sausage.
Speaker 3 (57:41):
Like does it make you gassy?
Speaker 1 (57:45):
Trick question? Sofia is always.
Speaker 4 (57:46):
Gassyidding you I'm a little sick over here and you.
Speaker 1 (57:54):
Just just tag me feel like a little sisters.
Speaker 4 (57:58):
Yeah, he's I'm not you got.
Speaker 1 (58:02):
You said that like you are?
Speaker 4 (58:03):
You guys are not.
Speaker 3 (58:07):
Sofa sofa You're a sofa king said I've been.
Speaker 1 (58:11):
I'm just kidding. Yeah, we see, I'm just kidding. I'm
playing with you.
Speaker 3 (58:13):
Why are you playing with me? Then? Now you're a
red flag I'm joking.
Speaker 1 (58:17):
Yeah, I'm Filipino and toxic. What do you do?
Speaker 4 (58:20):
WHOA?
Speaker 3 (58:21):
That's crazy to say, don't expose your people like that.
Speaker 1 (58:25):
If they expose themselves, we.
Speaker 3 (58:27):
Probably need to learn as an entire country. It's let's
not be toxic.
Speaker 1 (58:31):
It's the thing of like if you ever met a
Filipino and they say they're schalant, they're lying because Filipinos
are never nonchalant or never chalant. We're always nonchalant or
they're never nonchalant, like they're never.
Speaker 4 (58:42):
Like just chal not.
Speaker 1 (58:44):
We're not like, no, Filipinos are never nonchalant. It's a
double negative, never nonchalive.
Speaker 3 (58:49):
Never heard that, but that's it does check out. We're
always like ready for conversation.
Speaker 1 (58:55):
We're always ready for karaoke, dancing, and eating and eating.
Speaker 3 (58:59):
I love food.
Speaker 1 (59:00):
Yes, you see I say that I love food, but
like my girlfriend knows this that I love food. Yeah,
I can't stop like that. It's not I can't stop eating.
It's like I got to try everything. Do you like
cooking a little bit? I'm getting more into cooking now.
Speaker 3 (59:14):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (59:15):
Yeah, but it sucks because like my mom was obviously
the main cook of the house, and she's like, no,
I got a cook like, I'll make it.
Speaker 3 (59:24):
Does teach you like you guys can collect.
Speaker 1 (59:26):
My mom didn't really teach me how to cook. She
wasn't really. It was like her domain, you know, like
I get that, Like I would watch her from time
to time, so like I would make like a curry
fried rice. She taught me how to make that. That's like.
But like trying to learn like Filipino dishes, it's a
little bit more difficult. I don't know why when it
came to her trying to teach it to me. Mmm, okay,
(59:46):
I don't know. She wasn't very patient. Maybe that's why.
Oh sorry, mom, love.
Speaker 3 (59:51):
You, Yes, we love moms.
Speaker 1 (59:52):
But guys, this is this is the end of the episode.
Speaker 3 (59:55):
Oh, it is the end of the episode.
Speaker 1 (59:57):
Yes, this is it?
Speaker 3 (59:58):
Wait did you not want to read one more?
Speaker 1 (59:59):
You want one?
Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
I do?
Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
Do you guys want one more?
Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Lets you one more? Some of these are funny, some
of these are just like real red flag, green flag,
mm hmm. He buys you a Burken handbag within the
first month of dating.
Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Whoa wait?
Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
Why he just loves you that much? He wants to
go he wants to buy you something really nice.
Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Okay, so it's really nice. I love Buccans. Okay, okay,
so I'll make that clear. But was it at least
clear that that is what she wanted? Like she has
an interest in fashion, she has an interest in bags.
Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Probably that like say it's you like you like, yeah, yeah,
I love burkin I love a Birken handbag. But he
surprises you with with this out of the blue, like
out for just one month of dating. Hmmm, he like
overheard you like you said your first date, like, oh yeah,
I love fashion. I love a Birken handbag to you know,
to be accessorized m hm, to make the outfit pop.
(01:00:54):
And he's like, okay, cool, I listen. But and he
just buys you a Birken handbag.
Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
What's his job. Sorry, I'm like, I just don't want
you to go something. I don't want you to go
broke just because I wanted one.
Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
Yeah, something that he can you know, obviously buy in.
Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
Okay, still okay, Yeah, as long as he's still okay,
Like maybe this this could be a red flag for
me because I think it's okay, But like, I love
being able to gift.
Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
Are you a gift giver?
Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
I am.
Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
I'm also a huge gift giver.
Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
That makes sense because I meant.
Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
I've gotten some good gifts from Keon.
Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Maybe it's just a thing Ailie.
Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Yeah, because also you know Basalubong right.
Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Yeah, yeah, okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
Yeah, so how is that like that wouldn't be a
I mean just raised.
Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
To be gift is our like love, language, hospitality is
a big totality gift giving. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
So I think it's I think it's fine, right because
it's part about culture.
Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
Yeah yeah, green flag, she says, it's a green flag. Well, okay,

Okay, So hi guys again, unfortunately for the last time.
My name is Alona Garcia. You can call me Elo
as the boys do. I am an artist who makes
music and who does film. I'm here today because I
thought these guys are really really cool, so I wanted
to collaborate, but I also needed to do my job
(01:02:55):
and promote the two singles that I have out, which
had been released January sixteen, twenty twenty six. The songs
are called could have been in question Mark. Question Mark
is pretty much about the POV of females who are
in romantic relationships and they're inexperienced.
Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
Oh wow, so just.
Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Trying to understand how relationships work, especially romantic ones, especially
when you're new to it, feeling like you're crazy, feeling
like you're not really sure how to vocalize things that
you're seeing. Yeah, like that's what question mark is about.
Would love to get everybody's thoughts. And then could Have
Been is a song that is comprised of all the
(01:03:43):
inspirations in movies, music, gaming that I've had growing up
that was introduced to me by my late brother. Thank
you very much for everything. The song is for him.

I think everyone in the chat saying thank you so
much for coming in. And the Aussie accent is so eloquent.
Speaker 3 (01:04:16):
Ah, thank you. It used to be so much more
difficult to understand. I had to americanize it a little
bit for the Filipino audience.
Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
But I'm grateful, amazing. Well again, thank you so much
for being here, Thank you so much for coming in.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Let's just recollect ourselves.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah he likes, Yeah, make him.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Something he likes. I'll be like, hey, teach me how
to make the food that you like. And if we're
missing nutrients that you need as a person, then let's
figure it out.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
No more Dino Nuggies. So my boyfriend, he's a very
picky eater.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Ok.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And we've been living together for a few months and
it seems like I can never get his food right
and it's honestly discouraging. I have kids, they seem happy
to eat my food. I cook for family gatherings, church
events and have never had a problem with people eating
my food except for with him. Hmmm. Interesting. And by
(00:58):
the way, this comes from Moon Rabbit thirty six. And
if you want to speirral stories, what are the r
slash Okay stories? So I'm sub Reddit, I'm Riley.
Speaker 1 (01:05):

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, and what newer songs like could have been and
question Mark Yes. She also gained fame after finishing as
the first runner up on Pinoy Big Brother and was
the first Filipino to be featured on the American fashion magazine.
Eleona has been called a style icon and a voice
of her generation.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Wait what really, you're learning things?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
See, you don't even.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Know that I am learning things about myself.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
We're learning things about you.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
That's that's cool. Yeah that makes sense though.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, I mean I've always had to introduce myself to
which is always like the most fun, but not me
learning about myself through you guys, that's kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah. Yeah, we've like looked into your whole life. You
can ask us more questions and what you know really yeah,
like you relationship with your family, we know about that.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Why are you gonna say like that?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Sorry? Yeah, I mean as the resident Filipino. Come on,
we have to share the same at least some common
traits with our families.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Okay, give me an example.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Are you always late? See? You have to think about it.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
No, because okay, okakay, it depends when it comes to
like when it comes to work functions, sometimes it makes
more sense to show up a little later because that's
when more people come through.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Okay, okay, what about what about like the family party.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
When it comes to family parties, I'm actually always on.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Time, so like two days later?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Right, No, always on time. I'm always on time. But
but the problem is because it's a family function, and
I go with my family to the bigger family function,
right yeah, I have to literally just wait in the
car for an extra hour.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I know you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
See.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay, so we do share that, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Oh yeah, And by the way, we're here to give
good advice, goofully, and we don't have all the answers,
but if you know something, please add it down in
the comments sound below.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Actually, yeah, that would be so helpful. I feel like,
you know, young ready to learn, not trying to make
too many mistakes. So good, I'm ready, and we want.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
To shout out Lana and Powell. They work behind the scenes,
they live in the Philippines and you do. Yeah, and
they absolutely love you, so they wanted could you shout
them out? Lana and Pale Yeah, Pale, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Hi, Hi guys. I wish I got to meet you
at least like through FaceTime or zoom, but even if
it's after, that's totally fine. I just wanted to say
thank you and I wanted to honestly learn about you
guys's stories. Thank you for being fans of what I do.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
That's really cool, awesome. Heck yeah, So here's the story.
It's like every day there's new rules with with Op
and our partner, Okay can't eat chicken for dinner because
he had chicken for lunch. He really isn't in the
mood for pork chops.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
That's valid. Do you know how long it takes too?
I'm so sorry for no, but do you know how
long it takes to actually digest pork?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I tried it a while ago and it took longer
than I wanted.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
How long did it take you?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I wanted it to be twelve minutes, and it took
me like twenty two to twenty four.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
What does that mean for pork chops that we're.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Talking about, It actually usually takes four hours four hours.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yes, what kind of pork chops are you making?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
No, it's just pork period.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh yeah, what about cream barbecue when you have like
thin slices, It takes like maybe a couple of minutes
for that to be cooked. You don't have to wait
four hours for that.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But more so like digesting the food itself, not cooking it. Oh,
it takes four hours. Wow, it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It does take a lot. That explains a lot too.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And that's why I'm such a terrible Filipino because I
don't eat pork.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You don't wait, that's kind of that's kind of cool.
I mean it's pretty healthy.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It's annoying.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, it's pretty healthy for you.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, it's also annoying because it's like, oh, I want
to go to this Ken's like, I don't eat that.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Oh do they not have options?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
We do well sometimes, but I just don't like pork.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
You just don't like pork. You've never liked pork. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
A don't see my parents kind of like gas lip
me or my mom did with like pork a dopo,
and I was like, this doesn't taste like chicken, and like, no,
it's chicken. It's chicken. I'm like, yeah, it doesn't taste
like chicken. And then when I grew realized my flavor
palate is like I don't like pork.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I feel like you just haven't had it the right way.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Oh, that's good, respectfully.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
We'll talk about this later. Talk about this.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It does eat at a lot of restaurants. Wow, so
it's just missing something. He doesn't eat onions, tomatoes, fish,
any kind of Asian food. He doesn't eat most vegetables,
with the exception of broccoli.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
He only eats vanilla ice cream. And he doesn't like
food heated in the microwave. Leftovers are out. He doesn't
like corn. It's just endless and I'm old trying to
be a good partner. I could eat the macrowife thing.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
No, corn's catching astray.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Wait, there was no resistance to like beef.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Right, we didn't know. He hasn't say anything about beef
or broccoli.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It doesn't say anything about like a food allergy. Either
it just seems like doesn't eat that stuff. It was
a food allergy would makes sense, I guess, yeah, But
or like like for me, I don't eat pork. I
just don't like it. But he doesn't like a lot
of things.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I don't know. It just doesn't seem like he likes
what she's cooking though.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well, I mean, is he starving?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Maybe has he cooked before?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So he says he can't really cook at all. His
favorite meal is hamburger.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Helper, hamburger helper. Wait, what's that?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's like, oh, I hate it.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I can't. I can't eat hamburger helper. Huh it's mac
and cheese, okay, with already added meat. Is that right?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It's like it's like you put like hamburger meat and
it's like mixed, but you microwave it. It's like in
a box.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Wait, I thought it doesn't like microwaving food.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
He might.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I think like leftovers. I think left their front. So
like if you already if it was already made, and
then you have to put in the fridge and it
was cold and then put it back in the microwave.
He doesn't like that.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Oh wait, no, that's kind of valid because like it
leaves the room for bacteria to.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Kind of just yeah, but if you're like I don't know,
air frying it, reheating it, bacteria will go away right that.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I'm actually not sure. But I also just on my end,
have a very sensitive stomach, Like I have to have
food the at the temperature they're actually supposed to be
eaten at, like when they're freshly. Really like, if I
don't have it like that, I actually get really sick.
No way, and I wish that wasn't the case, because
that feels very high maintenance. But that's just been And
(07:40):
you're on the road a lot too, I am.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yes, yeah, why you have your friend back there? She
helps you out?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah? Sweet, Okay, damn sorry, I'm trying to figure out
how we solve this situation.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I feel like we have a lot more context to
get okay, maze, we can like I don't know, so
I think a lot of it is how he grew up,
but dang, it is frustrating. The first picture is tonight's dinner.
I added more pictures of stuff I have cooked that
he won't eat, Like he will door dash jack in
the box and he'll be apologetic, but it's just really bad.
(08:15):
We have an image here.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Can I see?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Also, hi, everybody, someone said making hamburger helper is cooking.
Yeah wait, what did we I'm so sorry. I legit
for gob what we said.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
No, it's a meal in the box that you add
hamburger two while you're cooking it on the stove. Yeah,
you cook it on the stove. Some people microwave it,
but like, oh, I don't know, it's not like the
freshest thing.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's like saying cooked like chicken noodle soup.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Oh, it's a bunch of okay, so it's a bunch
of images.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I've never made chicken noodle soup. I'm so sorry. I
wish I understood rumen.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Literally, it's like putting it in a can, into a
pot and heating it up.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Oh really, that's how you do it.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
You don't make it from scratch.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
What about tomato soup? Have you ever made that?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, oh okay, cool. Yeah, it's just like making tomato soup.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I've made it from scratch though.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Okay, Well, imagine getting helped to the point where you
just need to put it into a pot.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Oh, like in a packet and yeah, like probably put
it in a Yeah. Okay, okay, does that kind of
cooking I mean technically yes, it's just not done from
scratch as all. Yeah, like you you buy like a
packet that has all the ingredients be made into what
you're asking.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And then you just add water to it and heat
it up.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, but isn't that.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
The same as like, I don't know, putting leftovers in
the microwave.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
That I actually don't know because I don't even understand
like the the process of how people even create those
packets in the first place.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Mm.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
So we're getting really technical right now.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
You're just crazy of things.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, so you have that picture?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yes, so sorry, there's.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Multiple pictures coming up. So's like their meals?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Oh six pictures? What the heck?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, yeah, it's just it's just talking about like the
meals that you want to pull them up or A No,
they're not think they're not crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So Image one tonight's dinner broccoli baked potato and Image
two chicken, broccoli, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Three A roasts
of some sort with meat and vegetables for a plate
of soft shelled tacos. Five broccoli potatoes, carrots, beef, and
six pie.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
That's all the things that he likes.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
So this is I think she took a picture and
she's gonna give us a breakdown of what.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
He likes and doesn't like.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I think, yeah, that's cool. So for the first one,
which is broccoli, baked potato.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
And port chops, all right, she's prepared, let's go.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I know, the paper plates are very lazy on my part.
I'm not proud of that, and I need to do better.
Between the kids and the job and the house and school.
I'm going to school remotely. I have been cutting quarters
on things like dishes.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Not excuse me, you also go to school. She also
goes to school.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Full time mom, full time cook and school. We'll give
you a pass on the paper plates.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I mean, it makes sense. You're saving time, you know,
doing more school than washing dishes.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
All right, that's just kidos to you. Seriously, I hope
she takes breaks for a self.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Does it sound like she's getting them.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And he's making it a lot harder when she cooks
a good meal and he's like, I don't want that.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Oh dude, Okay, here's the second one. My boyfriend does
expect me to cook for him? I cook him dinner
every night and lunch on the weekdays. Does he eat
breakfast and will not take lunch to work? He buys
fast food lunch during the week. Interesting three, he has
been diagnosed with asd or adhd or urfred. That's a
(11:35):
new one. But I don't rule anything out. So these
are just like a few notes about him.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Mostly I want to say thank you. I was not
prepared for how kind and helpful and insightful people have been.
It's deeply cut touching, and it's giving me both peace
and guidance for the next steps. So from what we know, now,
what do you think OP should do to solve this problem?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I just think there needs to be a balance. Like
if he does expect her to cook, I just hope
that that's something they both are like aligned on, Like
that's like h Like if she doesn't want to do it,
then that's like a different story. Like if this is
actually what she wants and go queen, first off, like damn,
(12:21):
like everything that she's doing and everything that she's balancing
is crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
First off, it doesn't sound like this is what she
wants to do.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Well, if it's not what she wants to do, then
I think they should have a conversation about that. But
if this is something that she actually wants to do
and they both actually aligned on that, I feel like,
if he's starving, you might have to give him what
he wants to just make sure he doesn't stop right,
like if he's I'm trying to find balance here, but
(12:48):
I do think they should have a serious conversation about
like balancing the food that he like just inherently likes,
but also balancing the nutrients he needs to be able
to do everything that he needs to do in a day. Yeah,
because you know, same could really go for her. I'm
actually worried about her health.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah. Yeah, she's running around feeding him and the kids
and doing school and working. I'm assuming, yeah, she's got
a lot on her plate.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I wonder how her sleeping hours are like, and if
she even has like potential like health problems or health
problems that run in the family. Same with the husband.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Are they married, dyfriend?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah? Oh okay, Honestly, I feel like we need to
find her, sit her down with you me, and then
you can give her a game plan. You sound like
like an amazing like oh gosh, like a physical therapist
kind of really you in person? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Oh man, Well, I will say, like, uh, just how
I was raised growing up so one, I'm a middle
child of five kids.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
No, no, no, it's actually great, Like it was very interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Do your parents know that you're like one of their kids?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah, they actually feel.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Like that's like forgotten about life.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
And that's what I've heard. I wish I understood what
that experience was like. But I got really really lucky
my parents. Although they were always busy because my parents
migrated from the Philippines to Australia, they were always at work,
which I totally understand. But I think what I found
joyan was being able to contribute to helping them. So
(14:26):
like I helped raise my younger siblings. I felt like
I was not to suit my own horn, but like
I was, in a sense like the bridge and communicating
between my older siblings and my younger siblings and my
parents and my siblings. That that was really really cool.
And I would say, like a lot of the stuff
that I said about the situation that you read out,
(14:47):
that's kind of what the headspace I was operating from
but also like I had a lot of health problems
that happened when I was younger. Oh yeah, so cause
I started in the industry at like I would say,
seven years old, but then things started really ramping up
when I was thirteen and I was on a reality
show in another country that had a drastically different culture
(15:12):
than Australia. So even adjusting to that, learning a new language,
also learning how to keep up with the different schedule
because I was put on tour, which is all great
and at the same time crazy stuff to do at
a really young age, but it's a.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Step away from normal. Yes, it doesn't sound like a
lot of consistency.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That's very true. But like the point that I did
want to get to was it did take a toll
on my health. So I had to actually be really
anal about the type of food that I eat, when
I have to eat it, the pills that I need
to take. Per our conversation earlier, which is why I
asked you what your diet was like, like maybe you
(15:52):
maybe taking magnesium pills could be helpful for you so
you don't get tired at this point in time, Like.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
She's helping me with my caffeine.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
A didgar never, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
She's like, you should take my music. She was giving
me a whole list earlier.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, it's beautiful, looky, but yeah, that's that's like the
headspace I was really operating from.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah. Yeah, and how many hours sleep do you get? Eighteen?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I definitely have to take eight to ten. Before I
was operating off of like four to six hours, But
lately I've been really good. I've been taking like eight
to ten hours.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
All right, let's go what about uk on what are
you operating off of?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Let's not talk about why.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I mean, you're hustling.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, I get it. Yeah, it depends because I have
trouble sleeping.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Damn you too.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, I have to sometimes I have to take like
a sleep aid or something like that or help help me,
you know, relax at night because sometimes I'm just a
night owl.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Do you take caffeine?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
No? Not really really. I mean sometimes I'll have like
an energy drink here and there. Okay, that's not like
you don't look at me, don't say anything. You drink
like three day? No?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
No I do not? I okay every other day? Have
you not noticed this? Every other day?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Now I'm proud of you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Look at you dogs.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, but for me, I would probably get on average
around at least six to eight I try to, but
sometimes it's good. Yeah, it's not like three hours of sleep.
It's like roughly it could be an average of like
six sometimes maybe seven hours.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Ming Ming one of our peeps from the Philippines, three
to five hours of sleep.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Three to five hours.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
How are you like.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
If you need to go to bed right now, please
do It's all good.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And she's in the Philippines right now, so it's probably
really late.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Just keep us one, that's all we have.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Let me take the time in the Philippines. What time
is It isn't like three am? Sorry, it's three am
right now, it's almost five am. Why are you awake?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Maybe she's a morning person, that is that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I drink get okay, wow, wait, you've been to the Philippines.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Right, Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Man, do you remember that sound when you wake up
in the morning and you hear the hale?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, with the roosters. Yeah. I show my girlfriend to
holl and she loves to hoe and she loves that.
Who's that? I'm like, that's that's my that's my morning coffee.
Right there.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
So this person has a solution to Opie's problem. Really,
so Creddington twenty twenty three says, stop cooking for him.
He can cook, slash order what he wants. You're just
wasting food otherwise. But what's with the paper plates? You
can get really cheap plates at Goodwill or even new
ones at Target. He said, It's very bad to me.
I work full time. He and I commute together to
(18:41):
the big city and it's an hour each way. I'm
also going to school remotely too, between that and the
kids and housekeeping. But those are excuses, I know. I'm
just trying to say afloat most days.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Ooh, this problem very valid. Yeah, I just feel like
it's there's a bigger problem above it, and this is
a symptom of it.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I see it, you know what I mean. I see it.
I'm thinking, here's my heart take okay, taking advantage of
the situation. Oh, He's like, all right, sure, cook for me,
but like, I'll eat whatever I want. I'll eat it
when I want. Because he likes chicken, but he refuses
to eat it because he just had it earlier. I'm
not really getting I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm kind of one of those people. I can't have
like the same thing all day.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, Like I need to have food fatigue.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, yeah, fatig I get variability. Like sure, if it's there,
I won't complain, Like it's food, I'm gonna eat it.
But if I'm eating chicken for every meal every day,
I'm going to start to hate chicken. I get it. Yeah,
I need to switch it up. But like when it
comes to like veggies or like mashed potatoes, the same
thing I just need, Like for us, it's like rice,
(19:49):
like we love I love rice. I'll have rice every day.
I will never get tired of rice.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
That's cool. I love rice too.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Repost from four chan says any kind of Asian food,
having traveled to seven countries in Asia, I have no
idea what that means. They eat everything. He says fair
about the Asian food. He won't eat sushi, won't eat dupplings,
won't eat stir fry, won't eat fried rice or rice noodles,
won't eat toafood or Okay, it probably be faster to
(20:19):
list what he does eat. He eats ground beef, potatoes,
chicken without bones, rice to a degree, cheese, chili, pickles, sausage,
green beans only Italian cut and only out of a can,
canned stewed, fast food hamburgers with no veggies on them,
fast food tacos with only meat and cheese on them,
(20:40):
vanilla ice cream, and beef jerky.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Is he not no pickles or like vegetables?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Don't tell him that he probably will stop eating it?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Interesting?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, what do you think about this guy's nutrition?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
This guy's diet is interesting?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Mmm? I guess it just because everything that you said
is like all the things that he eats, right, But
it's not the thing that he eats in a day.
Those are just things that if he thinks of.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Like that's like his food limit, Like he won't try
anything else. He won't eat anything else. That's like that's
all he'll eat.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I mean, is his goal to just like keep to that?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Like? Is he?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I just have more questions. Is he trying to bulk
up for the season? Is he?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Is he trying to.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Stick to that? So he's not trying to try new restaurants?
So new food?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Okay, Now, if you said, hey, I got chicken a
double right here or something like my friend's Filipino lumpia,
simple the easiest thing. Everyone loves lumpia for the most part.
And you introduced it to him and he said, no,
won't touch that one. He won't even bite it. How
would you.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
React, Well, I mean, that's just that's just what it is.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
He's like he has ground, it has ground, beef, it
has everything that you like in there, you know, but
he won't try it because it's just something he's not
used to, or he's like he's never had before.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I know a guy that only eats potatoes. Wait, what
only eats potatoes?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Like nothing else, nothing else he.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Won't eat he doesn't like meat. He eats French fries
and he's like he's like almost twenty and he's going bald.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Whoa, whoa Wait, sorry that was a shaka.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, no going bold. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Is it just because he only eats potatoes, because that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, only only potatoes. Yeah, it's sad. It's really sad.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Do you guys, like, do you guys know all of
this stuff? Like if you only eat potatoes, you're gonna
lose hair. Someone literally said Riley with the fuck.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, I know, I know he's Yeah, I won't talk
more about that guy, but yeah, it's kind of sad.
It's kind of sad. Someone said, Italian cut green beans.
Is that even a thing? I've never heard of those before?
MENI though, Yeah, I didn't know Italians messed with green
beans like that. I have a long history with green beans.
Oh yep. I grew up a kind of on a farm.
Oh nice, worked at the sawmill in the morning till three,
(22:53):
and then in the evening worked in the garden picking
green beans. Yeah. The green beans were probably like fifteen
meters long, and then there were like one, two, three, four,
six rows of them, six to nine rows fifteen meters long,
and there were two gardens of that. How long does
it take you, too, uh to pick them? Oh gosh,
probably like a row. It'll take like two to three hours.
(23:15):
You'll get like a bushels, like like three to four gallons,
and you'll get like a bushel in that time. Yeah,
and you sell it by the bushel.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Wow. Yeah, that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
It's real Southern stuff r out there.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Oh okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
This other person says Thomas and Anna. I say this
with love, Ope, but this relationship sounds exhausting. You're working
very hard with your job, giving your children delicious meals,
making informed decisions on what news you consume in this
crazy world. You sound like a lovely human being, And
I'll ask something that was once asked for me. Does
(23:53):
this man make your life better? Notes? I'm not asking
if you love him, but does he improve your well being? Hiness,
et cetera, et cetera. Like you do for him, what
is he bringing to your life? No P. Says as
a downvoted comment, I had to read this a few
times and sit with it. He listens to me, reminds
me to take my medicine. He drives me and I'm
(24:15):
such a nervous driver. He cares when I cry. He
makes me laugh If I'm truthful, it hasn't been good
for my health. I do too much and neglect my health.
But don't women do that? Don't We burn brightly for
people we love and it always comes at a cost,
doesn't it. It isn't always like that interesting, So we
(24:37):
kind of got a little insight on their life. We
have another update.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Dang, that's rough. The fact that she's like, you always
have to sacrifice something, right, Oh, That's what being a
woman is is just sacrificing every day to make the
people you love happy at a point, Yes.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
But I got from my mom. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, But it's like you also need to realize sometimes
you need to have your self at the top of
that list. You know, you can't always put yourself at
the bottom. You sure some dates, but not every day.
And those people that you love should also have you
on top of that list too. Not treat you like
you're at the bottom of that list every day. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
If the planes crashing, what do you got to do first?
Are you?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Oh this is not rhetorical, john planes crashing?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I mean things drop down. What do you do first? Oh?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Don't you? Don't you take the thing and then breathe?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Put you put your oxygen mask on first before you
put others on?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Oh? Yes, yes, yes, I was like, wait, did you mean,
like Johnson, the.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
First thing you do is jump and that's it?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Are we are? We crashed?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, you gotta like put your oxygen mask on before
you can help others. Yes, if you keep burning, burning brightly,
gonna fizzle out.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
What's the what's the one that John always says about?
You know, this is a lot, but it's like you
like your yourself on fire to warm other people up.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, don't light yourself on fire to warm others.
If you've been doing that.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I wouldn't say so. I think i've I've found a
good balance to make all of it work. It definitely is.
It's a lot of how do I say this, It's
a lot of thinking that has to go onto play.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
It feels like chess, Yeah, forty chess or just five
D five.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
D yeah, just to make sure everything is moving and everybody,
including myself is taken care of. It's fun though for me.
I like chess a lot, But I'm trying to think
about the situation. I feel like the first question that
comes to mind is what do you want out of life?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Mmm?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Like that's that feels like the overarching question, and then
that's going to lead to a bunch of more questions
just to kind of realign her.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
With Yeah, have we lost the path in some ways?
You really like how everything's going? We need to pivot.
I like that. Yeah, I like that. We have a
little bit of an update here two days ago or
two days later. I think things are changing. Just me
posting the post was a sign to myself that I
am not happy with the status quo. I'm generally a
(27:00):
pretty patient person, but like last night, I made him
chili dogs in fries because that is something he will
consistently eat, and I was cooking something for the kids
that I knew he wouldn't eat. When I took it
to him, he said, you're not gonna believe this, but
I had chili dogs for lunch, and I blurted out,
I don't care. We were both shocked, and I think
(27:20):
I went back to the kitchen. Oh, we have another
small update the next day. This was tough love, and
I thank you for it. This post was just me
venting from my kitchen into the void, but it turned
into something very different. Apparently there are a lot of
things that I thought or think or normal that are
maybe not normal at all. I made a decision to
(27:42):
start Therapye. Oh that's good. Wow, it's a big, big step.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
That is a big step.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
It's fully covered through my job, and I think it's
going to be helpful to have a sane adult I
can talk to. I know it might not be the
big step people would like to see me take, but
I just don't trust myself fully right now to be
making the big decisions.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Wait, that's good though, that's self aware.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
This is a big step. Yeah. Yeah, I just want
to say thank you and to let you know that
it did read your comments and it did help me
and we have another update.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I think that's brilliant taking that step. Yeah, because if
you're like, am I crazy? It's good to have a
good soundboard to talk too.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Also, just that's just crazy. That ope, he made a
specific meal for him that he knows that, like, oh,
you know what, I cooked the kid's dinner. But I
love this guy. I'm gonna cook him a chili dog
because he loves chili dog. And he responds with I
had that for lunch. I don't want that.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Dude, I just throw the chili dogs in his face. Sorry,
if that's violent, Can.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You imagine like saying that to your mom or like
your mom cooked you like your favorite meal, but you
already had it earlier in that day and you're like, eh,
I don't want that.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Yeah, that can't happen exactly, and no.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
A Filipino mother, Nope, it's the you get what you
get and you don't get upset.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah. Wow, that is like that's a thought that would
never enter my mind to say mm hmm in.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
My house, if like you didn't want to eat it,
you just make yourself up peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah that's cool though. Yeah I love peanut butter. Yeah, yeah,
it's so good, great and protein.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
It is it is. I've been I make smoothies hmm,
and I put peanut butter powder in it.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
That's actually yeah, yeah that's something I've actually never tried.
But it is a hack litll.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Hack Okay, less fat and plus like it kind of
like fluffs up the smoothie. Nice.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
But yeah, going back to what you were saying, Okay, like.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
M hm, why didn't he a little bit right?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yeah, but why didn't he at least text.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
So or because he seems very pampered, very spoiled, and
oh he's spoiled. Oh you can tell. Yeah, because he's like,
I'll just eat whatever I want to eat. I get
what I want. I don't care like if you cook,
if you cook this, I'm not trying to get as
if it's something I will eat and if I already
had that that day, you have to make me something else.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I'm sorry. Kimberly Fun, you have the pauses. Kimberly says,
one time, I had a really long day at work
and I ate two famous bowls throughout the day. Had
a date with my husband at the drive in that
night and he stopped at KFC slash Taco Bell. I
had one of those of my hometown too. Kimberly fun,
I kept my mouth shut, and another famous bowl plus
a burrito. I felt like I was dying. Do not recommend?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Oh my gosh, I couldn't. I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Wait. Why. I feel like you could have said someone that.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I feel like you'd be like, ah, honey, I'll just
have that for lunch tomorrow, Like I'm not hungry at
that point.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Yeah? Wait? Why?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Oh? Man? But he has another update.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Okay, hey, it's Angie, your favorite fake redhead host here,
and we're going to get back to the stories.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
But he's a three minute ad break from our sponsors.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Two days later. Thank you. This was very thoughtfully written.
I am. I'm still trying to sort out what to do.
I want to make the right decision with a cool head.
I think it's leaning very much in that direction. She's
about to break up.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Oh really? Okay?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
So I set his plate in front of him, and
he looked at it for a minute, got up and
took it to the kitchen. He came back with some chips.
I said, not good, he said no, and I didn't
offer to make him anything else, didn't ask him what
was wrong with it, just said oh okay and shrugged
and went back to dinner. That sug him up, I
think because he's not used to me being nonchalant about it.
(31:33):
So I feel like something has changed. My mindset is changing.
I'm grateful for the encouragement and all the good advice.
I'm continuing to read the comments and replying when I
get breaks. It might be pathetic, but I don't really
have any grown up friends to talk to about this stuff,
so it's been helpful. And we have another update. So
(31:53):
I'm thinking this is what's happening. She cooks food, gives
it to him, I don't want it. She goes back
cook something else and brings it to him, so she's
kind of wasting her day. It seems like.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
She's already high strung, high stress with school kids, cooking,
cleaning the whole nine yards pretty much.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
But what the heck? And she also doesn't really have
much friends, which means she's like she only has really
herself as a soundboard before she saw a therapist, and
also the boyfriend. Boyfriend has her only other soundboard.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Oh not good, not good, We have another update.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
She's very isolated.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah, I was gonna say I would show this man
ratituy and be like, listen, anybody could cook. That's like,
if you're gonna complain about my cooking, go ahead and
cook because you look like you got free time to
just hang out and have someone cook for you. You
know what, you could. I want Opie to have someone
cook for her because it seems like she's always cooking.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah, i'd cook for her.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Does she never like want to order in?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Sometimes they look like they do fast food?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But I could afford it because just to the kids too.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Update four, He's not going to eat the pork chops.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
So true bad that's a crazy title.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
So about a month ago, I'm going to host here
because my boyfriend didn't want to eat the pork chops
I cook for dinner. Well tonight I made pork chops again,
and he's not going to eat these either because we
broke up and he moved out.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
No.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh wow, holy cow, she did it.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Okay, how is she? How's she doing? Now? How's she feeling?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I am so much better off and I just want
to say thank you for all the kind words and advice.
It was very eye opening to me. And I wish
I could invite you all to dinner and she has
some more images of yummy food. Good for her. She
needed to do this. Then you think, could you see
this coming?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I mean I did, ye, yeah, I just man, I
think the lack of clarity of what she wanted, like
as as you were reading, and I probably, man, my
bad for not letting you finish every everything, Like I said,
interrupt me cool with that.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
That's what we do here. Yeah, yeah, we It happens
a lot where we're reading something and they were like
do this and literally the next sentence is I did it,
and you're.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Like a good for you?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, just one sentence.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
No live reactions are good. Yeah, no, it was.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
It's just more so if they I'm not even sure
if they aligned on what they wanted like and like
honestly so just even the lack of clarity on that
end to be able to know if if this was
a compatible incompatible situation relationship, it could have saved her
(34:38):
so much time.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
And this is what I pulled up this image because
this is this just like a happy meal for oph
That looks awesome. Yeah, and she's cooking that for the kids,
but it seems like he doesn't want to eat that.
M I could eat that, right, that looks really good.
This is probably her like her first time making a meal,
and she's genuine not dreading cooking joint cooking.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Some of Opie's comments, fun Button says, were you the
one where he would order Jack in the box and
eat it lukewarm instead of eating your home cooking? Oh what?
And Opie says, yes, he would door dash Jack in
the box instead of eating her cooking Jack in the box.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
To my understanding, I've actually never had Jack in the box.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I don't around the corner if you didn't check it out.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
No, is it not the healthy? I don't know if
it's not.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
It's fast food. It's fast food.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Got Winny's, McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
It's jolly. It's like, if you look at the rankings
of fast food Jack in the boxes, not to bash
on them, there is just like a little bit lower
than like in and out, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Yeah, that's that's so sad.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, so Opie clarifies, I broke up with him. It
wasn't right after my last post, but after my last
appointment I made with a therapist. During my second appointment,
I just blurted out everything that I was really unhappy
with and told the lady.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Everything, Okay, that's good, that's good.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, ride a bunch, slept on it. Broke up with
him the next day. He moved in with his brother
that weekend. Wow, so there was, like you said earlier,
there was so much more happening behind the scenes.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Yeah, that's so crazy.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
M h.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
I hope she's happier. I hope she's healthier, and I
hope the kids are safe and we'll see and happy
and learning doing well because this is just such a
crazy situation. Especially I don't even know if like them
when they were a couple at the time, if they
had fights in front of the kids. I just I
hope it's a healthier environment for everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah, it seems like OPI so much happier. She's working
on what she wants to do. Yeah, no more manchild
being upset.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Yeah, and we get it. There's like sometimes there's compromise.
I get it. If like for me, I don't eat pork.
So my partner she's like, okay, won't eat pork or
you know, she'll try and to be thoughtful about that,
especially if she orders food, because I love food, so
she like try this, and obviously we share meals. But
if it's pork, I'm like, no, it's okay, eat it,
and she's like, are you sure. I'm like, yeah, you
(37:06):
can eat around it. No. But this seems a little
bit too too much where my partner like, again, if
it's a food allergy or our film or something like
that makes sense, but it just seemed like he was stubborn,
didn't care.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yeah, you should. You should read one.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Well. I was gonna say, we have some red flag
green flags.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Oh oh okay, guess.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
We should do that.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
I think there's some red flag green flags behind you, rightley.
But before while you're grabbing that, we do have a
special guest here today, Elo. If you want to go
ahead and introduce yourself one more time, who you are,
what you do, Please go ahead and let the people know.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Hi, guys, my name's Alana Gacia, but you can call
me Elo as the boys do. And I'm a artist
that does music and film, right now my focuses are
releasing music. Hence forth, the two singles not me putting
two two's up or singles called question marking could have been.
(38:03):
I just released it almost a four month ago, which
is crazy to think about. But yeah, I honestly forgot
what I was saying. But yes, hi, uh, and I'm
here today because these lads are just really really cool.
They reached out and I just wanted to collaborate with
cool people.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
All right, yea to hear some crazy stories. Yeah, okay, yeah,
this is for you. Okay, red flag flag for you? Okay,
key On made these, by the way, some of them. Okay,
here we go, we go. Red flag, green flag. Your
boyfriend says that he loves your independent but gets upset
(38:43):
when you make plans without asking him first.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
It could be a bag flag, It could be both flags.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
No, no, no, no, really, don't be on the fence.
Red flagger green?
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Can I plead the fifth?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
No? Really, you gotta put up a flag?
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Can you read it to me? Almosign?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
We're time? Red flag, green flagg. Your boyfriend says that
he loves your independent but gets upset when you make
plans without asking him.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
First, mmm, for now, I'll do a red flag, but
I will say why, I'm not sure about asking your
partner if it's okay to do things to make plans.
I think it's more so, Hey, like, here's my plans
for the day. What are your plans for the day.
Because just in case, like let's say you want to
(39:27):
eat a meal together, or you want to catch a
movie together. Of course it's like appropriate to a line
on whatevery, what you guys' schedule is yeaheah.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
No, no, no, I would say red flag.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Too, okray, do you want to put it up.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I'm putting it up. She's putting up for yeah, no,
no fair. Yeah. But like let's say, like he's like,
but I want to make sure.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Like your safe type for safe that's valid though, or
is it still red? I would make that green because
it like safety at least on my end. I man,
I got really lucky because I grew up being very
very well protected. Knowing the world out there, especially for women,
it can be very dangerous, especially in the industry on
(40:10):
my end that I'm in, there can be a lot
of predatory behavior. So if my partner per se were
to look out for my health. Not my health, sorry
for my safety. I'd respect that and I'd appreciate it. Yeah,
because safety is a big thing.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
It is is our next red flat green flag.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Okay, hey, it's Carly, your favorite Axeltel host.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
Here.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
We're going to get back to the stories, but here's
three minutes of ads from our sponsors.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Red flat green flag. Your partner needs to research and
plan every detail of a trip three months in advance.
Where he gets anxious.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
That's so valid. Yeah, it's so valid though, like having
to plan three months in advance.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
Mm hmm, like every to the tea, Yeah, twelve oh five,
restroom break, twelve oh six. Oh that putting up this
zipper twelve oh seven.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Okay, that's a little. That's a little too.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
And okay, if he doesn't do it, he gets anxious.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
On that's kind of hey, to each their own.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Yeah, that he plans every detail.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Okay, by the as long as he can, he collaborate
with me.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
He needs a planet if he needs to plan.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
It and we're both going on the trip, How does
that make sense? Because what if I have needs?
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Oh okay, okay, it's so easy to make it a
red flag.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Yeah, easy, you make it a red flag Riley.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Well, what I was gonna do is be like but
then he does this, okay, so so red flag or
green flag, he lets you collaborate.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
If he collaborates with me, then it's a green flag.
Planning like this, planning for the rest, like I would say, yes,
like having to plant advance, like even years ahead.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
What years ahead? Yeah? Wait, what do you have planned
out years ahead?
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Year's ahead, like releasing music, going on tour. Oh yeah,
like I think it's most because of the industry I
come from. I'm not sure about you guys.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
No, I mean we got our next ten years playing ahead.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
That's cool though, but like see that makes sense, right.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Yeah, every weekday we're here live at three pmpst key on.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
Yeah, that's a green flag. But yeah, like I get.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
It, I do.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
I was gonna say, like to make it more intense,
what it's like a not like not like Riley's like
every minute, every every second, but like he plans it
out three days, three months in advance. But it's like
every day you have an itinerary. You don't have like
a free day. It's just like you're going you're going
back home, You're going to Sydney. But you can't go
see your family. We have to keep bam bam, bam,
bam bam. You don't have free time? Is that a
(42:38):
red flag or a green flag?
Speaker 3 (42:40):
Not being able to see my family and him not
wanting to see my family is like, it's kind of sad,
man why I love my family.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Family, tight schedule elo.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Okay, but what's the goal here? Like, what are we
trying to do. We're trying to explore.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yeah, I mean, if we're exploring.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Why not explore time? That's the weird. I'm sorry, why not?
Speaker 2 (43:01):
It's a red flag?
Speaker 3 (43:02):
These people raised me. That's a red flag. I'd want
to meet your family. Come on.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Yeah, oh here's another one red flag, green flag. Your
boyfriend comments, you don't need makeup, you're beautiful without it.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
Also, ciba, I think you're catching a straight someone. Also,
I learned the term stray in the States, So let
me know if I'm using it appropriately.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Oh you are? You are?
Speaker 3 (43:23):
But someone said Riley does not have years planned out?
Speaker 1 (43:25):
L mio.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (43:27):
I don't really talk about Okay, here's the thing about me.
Speaker 3 (43:30):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
I am a doer and not a talker.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
That's good though.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah. So I don't really talk about things that I'm
going to do because if I say I'm going to
do it, I'm going to do it. Is Angie's not
gonna watch this issuear?
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Probably, But what if it's like yeah, but if you
have goals with your team per se or like your partner,
shouldn't you talk about it with them?
Speaker 2 (43:53):
I mean, I've talked about like having kids and getting married,
but I haven't been like, you want to do it?
You know?
Speaker 3 (43:58):
I have asked a question, Sorry, that's like so crazy,
Yeah okay, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
Or like you know, I'll sign a contract be here
for a couple of years, but I'm not. I don't
know if it's I guess like I just don't really
talk about my my plans going in the future, so
I don't make many. So I feel like if I
say it, it's going to have to happen. And I
wrote then in a journal like a few years ago,
like my five year plan, I'm totally off, not near
it supposed to getting married next year really yeah, and
(44:27):
my five year plan.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
I mean, do you want but here's a question, do
you want that? Still?
Speaker 2 (44:32):
I wrote that five year plan after a breakup and
my life has changed so much since then, so it
was just like just it was just like help me
get aligned.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
Okay, yeah, but do you still want that though?
Speaker 2 (44:42):
Getting married? I mean eventually. I don't think i'll get married. Yeah,
twenty six, I might get married to like twenty eight, okay,
something that. Yeah, I mightn't even get married. Who knows.
I might become I don't know the next month.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
As long as it's what you want.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Yeah, you ride the life wave, you know.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Yeah, I might I don't know, produce beat and then
become the next DJ.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
That's cool. Yeah, that's really cool. Or just let me
know if you have shows. I want to show up.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Yeah, yeah, I got you free tickets.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
You a collab?
Speaker 3 (45:09):
Yeah that's it?
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Yeah, all right, next one, okay, Red flag, green flag.
Your boyfriend comments, you don't need makeup. You're beautiful without
it every time you get ready to go out.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
But that's sweet though, like him saying that, But I
think overatching question of why is it at that those
specific times? Yeah, why could you could you explain more?
Speaker 2 (45:33):
Well, give me give me a flag first.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
I would do this as a question mark because I
don't know why. Like I appreciate you saying I don't
need to put makeup on? But why is it only
every time I get ready to.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
Go that time, not whenever I don't have the makeup.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
On, or like we're going out? Yeah yeah, Like, how
come it's only one? Why are you saying that now? Yeah? Exactly?
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (45:54):
Are you guys talking like that?
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Man?
Speaker 3 (45:59):
You guys are so funny. You paint the picture really well.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
Though. He's probably saying it because you put you feel
like you have to like show up for the girls
in your best fit, but you don't need to.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Oh wait, that's so sweet. That's a green flag. I however,
I don't know how to relate purely because one, I
don't have a partner. Two, it is part of my
job to put on makeup, oh yeah, And three like
I don't usually go out unless I go to like
a round one and get plusues.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
Oh yeah, but I usually just.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
Have a hat on. I don't usually put makeup on,
wow I when I go out, okay in those occasions.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
Yeah, yeah, So we don't even know if this person
could say that to you. Yeah, they might be like, yeah,
makeup on, good, I'm glad you did that. Okay, Well, no,
once you get a partner. You let me know what
he says.
Speaker 3 (46:51):
Well, I'll say this then, because my family, Yeah, they
always appreciate it when I don't have makeup on because
girl growing up, like, I started working when I was seven, right,
so I had been around a lot of makeup artists.
They did my makeup and hair and I had to
wear very very performance ready outfits. Yeah, so they saw
(47:13):
me switch from me with plushes and not having makeup
and like in very very comfortable clothes. Two then me
like being performance ready. It kind of is like a
signal to them that if I don't like, if I'm
not performance ready, like I get to spend more time
with them.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
Yeah, I like you.
Speaker 3 (47:31):
I think that that's a green flag and yeah, and
they love that.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
So yeah, Keon, can you please read these You have
to read these next Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
Sure you get it right, Jelly, I am a singer songwriter,
Pillipan or Australian. I believe I got that right, Yes
you did. I'm giving you the validation.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah, I can read on these, Jella Buss, she loves it.
Speaker 2 (47:53):
These next ones are surrounded by the Filipino culture, so
I have to like read these two. O.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (48:01):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (48:01):
Some Katie said, makeup is not for him. Makeup could
just be for fun. That's true, and I think that
that's beautiful. Make sure he knows that.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Then.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
All right, now it's uh, what is this? Because you're
full Filipino, right, I am? Okay, So it's one and
a half Filipinos here now, Okay, they are talking. I'm
on behalf okay.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
So I do have a bit of Spanish and Chinese blood.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
I mean that's a yeah, yeah, that makes sense if
you look down a like the actual like break it
down to the DNA, you're like Filipinos just have like
crazy just lineages, you know.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (48:34):
I did a proper deep dive in mine last year.
I got a crazy lineage. I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Oh yeah, what was the craziest thing if you want
to talk about you don't have to tell us, But
if what was the craziest thing that you found?
Speaker 3 (48:46):
My relatives are a political dynasty in the Philippines. That
was one of the craziest things I found.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
I feel like it's always connected, Like if you go
down to like our lineage, we might be related.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
Probably what's your last name?
Speaker 1 (49:00):
My mother's last name is grospe Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:03):

Maybe you're you're you're rain brown, rain snow white.
Speaker 3 (49:53):

I mean you kidding me.
Speaker 3 (50:10):
I could not deliver.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
I tried.
Speaker 3 (50:12):
I tried everything I did. I put lemon all over
my skin one time, like the.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
What's the the orange soap, the whitenings.
Speaker 3 (50:21):
I tried that too. It did not work.
Speaker 1 (50:22):
My mom gave that to me too, and you use it.
I'm like, no, no, I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
Good on you. I I definitely gave into the pressure.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
But it's a huge thing.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
Yeah, Luckily I was very appreciated for my skin though.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Yeah, I think it's like, as a kid, it's a
good thing. But then like you grew up, you're like,
I love my skin. I love who I am. I'm
proud to be pinnay PANOI. All right, we have a
couple more red flag green flags. As I know, we're
short on time here, Oh we are.
Speaker 3 (50:51):
I'm sorry, guys, No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (50:53):
It's for it's it's just for you. We're good, we
can keep going, but it's for you. Oh valid, Okay,
so red flag green flag? You ready for this?
Speaker 4 (51:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (51:01):
He loves to gossip or talk drama twenty four to seven.
Speaker 3 (51:06):
That's fine. Yeah, yeah, you have a gossip buddy. Isn't
as long as it's not that serious.
Speaker 1 (51:13):
You know what I mean, It's like that's like his personality. Yes,
guess the T. Like first things like how is your
It's not how was your day? He's like, guess the T.
Guess what T I have? Is that a red flag
or green flag? I think it sounds like how.
Speaker 3 (51:26):
How he grew up, Like if that's just something that
his family or his friendship groups like always.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
That's how I agree?
Speaker 3 (51:34):
Did Yeah, then I think that's a green flag.
Speaker 1 (51:36):
Well it wasn't like it's not like my personality is
like I need drama twenty four to seven or I
love drama. It's all right, I have the T. Yeah,
everyone tells me everything and their secrets. Yeah, I mean
else I'm not going to share those secrets, but I
know things.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
You're a burden to carry, yes.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
Literally literally, Yeah, I think that's okay. I think it's
okay to have a little bit like if it's always
he's twenty four seven, Like, can you just tell me
how your day was?
Speaker 3 (52:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (52:02):
Ask me how my day was?
Speaker 3 (52:03):
Oh wait, twenty four seven?
Speaker 1 (52:04):
Rate is twenty four seven. I don't want my life
to be a Filipino you know, drama every every minute,
every waking hour. But it is.
Speaker 3 (52:14):
It also depends on what his job is. M okay
a right, Like what if he's a reporter, Okay, but
if he's a journalist.
Speaker 1 (52:20):
I like, how are you looking for like plot holes?
Speaker 3 (52:22):
You're like, I am looking for holes because that person,
good bro, I'm in entertainment, you know what I mean?
So I had like I've been through, man, but I
always try to I always try to understand to the
best of my abilities, like the three sixty situation. I
don't want to misunderstand anything because then you could like
(52:43):
wrongfully accuse someone, Yeah, and that would hurt both of you.
Speaker 2 (52:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:47):
And you also don't want to be spreading rumors.
Speaker 3 (52:50):
Yes, because how does that make you any better?
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Exactly? Yeah, exactly?
Speaker 3 (52:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
All right, here's another one. Are you ready? Red flag,
green flag? They always arrive late. I know we touched
on the subject earlier, but it's the it's the good
old Filipino time.
Speaker 3 (53:08):
I would okay, okay, off principle, it's a red flag
because it does signal, first off, that you don't respect
the other person's time.
Speaker 1 (53:18):
Yeah, yeah, that's time frame right right, But.
Speaker 3 (53:21):
Like to I would like to understand the situation because
you know, I will say, living and working in Australia,
the Philippines, in America, it is difficult to make a living.
Some blessed more than others. Yes, unfortunately, that's just a situation.
Speaker 1 (53:39):
He's going to be late sometimes.
Speaker 3 (53:41):
Yeah, yeah, I've read incredibly late.
Speaker 1 (53:43):
When the time that tricycle, it's gonna be late.
Speaker 3 (53:46):
Oh sorry that you Oh you were saying jeepney. Yeah,
oh that's valid. Have you taken a jeepney?
Speaker 1 (53:54):
Yeah, of course. Nice. They're fun until you get in
one and then you're like, I'm going to lose my life.
Yeah I was.
Speaker 3 (54:01):
I was gonna say, I was like. The driving the
Philippines already has me freaking out. Sorry. Yeah, the driving
the Philippines, from my experience, it's like they can. They
can make anything happen if they put them mind to it.
They can fit anyway.
Speaker 1 (54:14):
No, exactly, I'm not. See I'm a really good driver here.
I can't drive in the Philippines. I know. It's just
like I can. I can, but I'm too scared too,
because the drivers is are just there are no laws,
there are no palid there are no laws. I'm scared.
Speaker 3 (54:31):
I get it. I'm honestly scared to drive anyway though,
because the driving in Australia is also drastically different. Everybody
drives really fast, like really fast.
Speaker 1 (54:41):
Do you want a fun fact about me? The first
time I drove was in Australia.
Speaker 3 (54:46):
How was it for you?
Speaker 1 (54:47):
It was on the other side, like the steering wheels
on the other side, the roads were different. Ye, not great,
but at least they're wide on it, so it makes sense.
Speaker 3 (54:56):
Okay, yeahs Sydney's fast.
Speaker 1 (54:59):
Bro Sydney's it needs a lot like San Francisco when
I've compared it to really because it's like hilly and
like Bay bayish.
Speaker 3 (55:06):
Like Okay, if you're driving in the city, yeah, okay,
in the city, that I understand. But driving in La
let's hear it. In La is where I've seen the
most car crash.
Speaker 1 (55:18):
I was gonna say, compare the big three of Australian
Australian drivers, Filipino drivers or like driving in the Philippines,
driving in Australia and driving in the US. Kid, you
rank that. You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (55:28):
You can tell it's not that I would actually so
I would drive in Australia, Okay as number one. Okay,
they're really fast, but I've also acclimated. I can acclimate
really really fast.
Speaker 1 (55:37):
Everyone's on Milo and Vegemie. Yeah makes sense, Bra.
Speaker 3 (55:40):
Love Milo Wow, Okay, okay, Vegemite. I will have once
a month. I will have once a month.
Speaker 1 (55:46):
Sofia's upset over there.
Speaker 3 (55:47):
I'm so sorry, Sophia number two. I'll put sorry, I'll
put La. But I still am kind of afraid to
drive because sometimes they're just driving on the wrong street
and then the wrong way in l A.
Speaker 1 (56:03):
Yeah, and talking about the Philippines, Yeah, the Philippines is
the same thing, the Philippines. There is no one way.
It's just it's the way.
Speaker 3 (56:10):
The Philippines is the same thing. But I will say,
like traffic wise is probably the worst thing about it
in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (56:18):
Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (56:19):
La, I think I've just experienced seeing a lot of
car crashes, like in real time, m and just people
driving the wrong way, a lot of drunk drivers.
Speaker 1 (56:27):
Yeah, where are you driving? I've lived here and I've
only seen it seen like a couple like real time.
Speaker 3 (56:33):
Accidentally, most of the accidents I've seen are in North Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (56:38):
Yeah, that makes sense, it does.
Speaker 3 (56:39):
Why does it make sense.
Speaker 1 (56:40):
Because a lot of tourists go there, one, a lot
of tourists like go to like the Hollywood area, but
also there's a lot of like bars and like nightlife
around there.
Speaker 3 (56:49):
Oh yeah, yeah true.
Speaker 1 (56:50):
So like as you said, adult beverages, people want to drive.
They don't want to pay for ubers or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (56:55):
They're expensive, all right.
Speaker 1 (56:59):
I think I have a couple more here, Yes, red flag,
green flag. They add hot dog to their pasta or spaghetti.
Speaker 3 (57:06):
Oh wait, no, that's fine, like hot dog like little sausages. Right, yeah,
that's fine, Like we have that in our spaghetti.
Speaker 1 (57:14):
I know, yeah, that's okay. But if you said that
to like Sophia.
Speaker 2 (57:18):
What why is that?
Speaker 4 (57:19):
Why would I be against that?
Speaker 1 (57:20):
Well, you don't eat meat?
Speaker 3 (57:21):
Well are you against? Oh you don't eat meat?
Speaker 4 (57:23):
No, but I do. I put like, like the beyond
sausage in my pasta.
Speaker 3 (57:28):
What's a beyond sausage.
Speaker 4 (57:29):
It's like a vegetarian sausage. It's so good Italian specifically
really good.
Speaker 1 (57:35):
That's cool.
Speaker 3 (57:36):
Yeah, I actually want to try that.
Speaker 4 (57:37):
That's really I highly recommend. It's the only sausage, like
vegetarian sausage.
Speaker 3 (57:41):
Like does it make you gassy?
Speaker 1 (57:45):
Trick question? Sofia is always.
Speaker 4 (57:46):
Gassyidding you I'm a little sick over here and you.
Speaker 1 (57:54):
Just just tag me feel like a little sisters.
Speaker 4 (57:58):
Yeah, he's I'm not you got.
Speaker 1 (58:02):
You said that like you are?
Speaker 4 (58:03):
You guys are not.
Speaker 3 (58:07):
Sofa sofa You're a sofa king said I've been.
Speaker 1 (58:11):
I'm just kidding. Yeah, we see, I'm just kidding. I'm
playing with you.
Speaker 3 (58:13):
Why are you playing with me? Then? Now you're a
red flag I'm joking.
Speaker 1 (58:17):
Yeah, I'm Filipino and toxic. What do you do?
Speaker 4 (58:20):
WHOA?
Speaker 3 (58:21):
That's crazy to say, don't expose your people like that.
Speaker 1 (58:25):
If they expose themselves, we.
Speaker 3 (58:27):
Probably need to learn as an entire country. It's let's
not be toxic.
Speaker 1 (58:31):
It's the thing of like if you ever met a
Filipino and they say they're schalant, they're lying because Filipinos
are never nonchalant or never chalant. We're always nonchalant or
they're never nonchalant, like they're never.
Speaker 4 (58:42):
Like just chal not.
Speaker 1 (58:44):
We're not like, no, Filipinos are never nonchalant. It's a
double negative, never nonchalive.
Speaker 3 (58:49):
Never heard that, but that's it does check out. We're
always like ready for conversation.
Speaker 1 (58:55):
We're always ready for karaoke, dancing, and eating and eating.
Speaker 3 (58:59):
I love food.
Speaker 1 (59:00):
Yes, you see I say that I love food, but
like my girlfriend knows this that I love food. Yeah,
I can't stop like that. It's not I can't stop eating.
It's like I got to try everything. Do you like
cooking a little bit? I'm getting more into cooking now.
Speaker 3 (59:14):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (59:15):
Yeah, but it sucks because like my mom was obviously
the main cook of the house, and she's like, no,
I got a cook like, I'll make it.
Speaker 3 (59:24):
Does teach you like you guys can collect.
Speaker 1 (59:26):
My mom didn't really teach me how to cook. She
wasn't really. It was like her domain, you know, like
I get that, Like I would watch her from time
to time, so like I would make like a curry
fried rice. She taught me how to make that. That's like.
But like trying to learn like Filipino dishes, it's a
little bit more difficult. I don't know why when it
came to her trying to teach it to me. Mmm, okay,
(59:46):
I don't know. She wasn't very patient. Maybe that's why.
Oh sorry, mom, love.
Speaker 3 (59:51):
You, Yes, we love moms.
Speaker 1 (59:52):
But guys, this is this is the end of the episode.
Speaker 3 (59:55):
Oh, it is the end of the episode.
Speaker 1 (59:57):
Yes, this is it?
Speaker 3 (59:58):
Wait did you not want to read one more?
Speaker 1 (59:59):
You want one?
Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
I do?
Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
Do you guys want one more?
Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Lets you one more? Some of these are funny, some
of these are just like real red flag, green flag,
mm hmm. He buys you a Burken handbag within the
first month of dating.
Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Whoa wait?
Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
Why he just loves you that much? He wants to
go he wants to buy you something really nice.
Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Okay, so it's really nice. I love Buccans. Okay, okay,
so I'll make that clear. But was it at least
clear that that is what she wanted? Like she has
an interest in fashion, she has an interest in bags.
Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Probably that like say it's you like you like, yeah, yeah,
I love burkin I love a Birken handbag. But he
surprises you with with this out of the blue, like
out for just one month of dating. Hmmm, he like
overheard you like you said your first date, like, oh yeah,
I love fashion. I love a Birken handbag to you know,
to be accessorized m hm, to make the outfit pop.
(01:00:54):
And he's like, okay, cool, I listen. But and he
just buys you a Birken handbag.
Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
What's his job. Sorry, I'm like, I just don't want
you to go something. I don't want you to go
broke just because I wanted one.
Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
Yeah, something that he can you know, obviously buy in.
Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
Okay, still okay, Yeah, as long as he's still okay,
Like maybe this this could be a red flag for
me because I think it's okay, But like, I love
being able to gift.
Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
Are you a gift giver?
Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
I am.
Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
I'm also a huge gift giver.
Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
That makes sense because I meant.
Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
I've gotten some good gifts from Keon.
Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Maybe it's just a thing Ailie.
Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Yeah, because also you know Basalubong right.
Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Yeah, yeah, okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
Yeah, so how is that like that wouldn't be a
I mean just raised.
Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
To be gift is our like love, language, hospitality is
a big totality gift giving. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
So I think it's I think it's fine, right because
it's part about culture.
Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
Yeah yeah, green flag, she says, it's a green flag. Well, okay,
this is the end of the episode. Thank you think. Well,

and promote the two singles that I have out, which
had been released January sixteen, twenty twenty six. The songs
are called could have been in question Mark. Question Mark
is pretty much about the POV of females who are
in romantic relationships and they're inexperienced.

Oh wow, so just.
Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Trying to understand how relationships work, especially romantic ones, especially
when you're new to it, feeling like you're crazy, feeling
like you're not really sure how to vocalize things that
you're seeing. Yeah, like that's what question mark is about.
Would love to get everybody's thoughts. And then could Have
