Speaker 1 (00:12):
Legitimate compassion space, moment of silence, thoughts, prayers, everything for
Teddy Mellencamp. For like, it's just I haven't heard of
anyone having brain surgery, Like I don't. I've met her,
I think once in person. That is serious shit, And

(00:35):
like it's probably bringing her closer to her husband who
she's split up with. She has children, it's so scary,
Like her anxiety for her kids is probably bigger than
her anxiety for herself. You know, Like my biggest fear
in life is not being here for my daughter because
I'm the only one she has, and so in being
healthier and not drinking and just the way that I'm living,

(00:56):
it really is like a lot of it is because
of just my daughter. And so I don't even just
grace more than thot. I mean, like thoughts, great, prayers,
you know, great, but like grace, And you know what,
there's been so much shit thrown around in that despicable

(01:17):
tox success pool that she left, and I know that
she's kind of wanted to go back to. She probably
has a lot of perspective on what matters, and so
does everybody else, people just trashing each other, and then
something like this happens, which is like in life. In life,
people trashing each other and then all of a sudden
something bad happens and everybody forgets that. So why don't
we just like fast forward into if the worst happened?

(01:40):
Would we want to be operating like this with whoever
this person is? And that's like a good sort of
barometer for us in general, like is it worth it?
Is it worth it? My ix on social media went
viral talking about X with guys like people were making

(02:02):
me cry. People were talking about velcrow wallets that a
man sat crisscross apple sauce and they broke up with them,
like people were chiming in with I was like, I
once I wanted to break up with someone because they
ate overnight oats. Okay, that's what I said, and I
meant it, and I mean it now. GI a seed pudding, Okay,
you have a vagina. Not that there's anything wrong with
a man having a vagina. I'm just saying I don't

(02:23):
want a man in my relationships that has a vagina.
So when you ordered chia seed pudding, it doesn't work
for me. I can eat chiasted pudding every day, I
can overnight oats. I can put oats in a fucking
sleeping bag and have a slumber party with them. I
can live with oats, cuddle them, and wake up in
the morning with them. You're not allowed to have overnight oats.
You're not even allowed to have daytime oats and allowed

(02:43):
to have quick cooking oats. Oats are off. Men don't
eat oatmeal that date me. I don't know why. I
just it's an ick. So I thought I was crazy
and after people like, you're fucking crazy. Well, no, guess
not because women were. Like I broke up with a
man because he skipped once. Not like he was skipping,
he was walking, but like in one second he skipped,
wore birkenstocks over crisscross apple sauce. Goodbye, velcrow wallet peace out,

(03:09):
says yummy tummy belly or delightful. Goodbye, run it up
the flagpole park that impactful bye. Going out with my buddies.
I'm going what are you fucking twenty one? Going out
your buddies? Okay, are you playing darts in a bar?

(03:31):
Is it nickel beer night? Go have your fucking buddies.
You could keep going, go out your buddies and never
come back because a grown man should not be saying
I'm going out with my buddies. Okay, So we were
crying at all the icks, I mean they were endless,
the ickx were and he sung in the car. I'm
like wow, And I could sing Celine Dion and somewhere

(03:54):
over the rainbow at the top of my fucking lungs,
I could sing let it Go from by Elsa. It
doesn't matter. You are not a let to sing a
goddamn lick in the car with me. Okay, shut the
fuck up. Don't smack your food, don't breathe, don't sit
close to me, don't order your own fucking duplicate entree

(04:14):
of mine, because that's goodbye. We're broken up, we're done.
We can be married for twenty five years with kids
and you order the same entree as me, or have
a velcrow wallet by People despise when men have fish
in their pictures, but that's more of a dating profile. Ick.
I don't know. Beer Cozy's and those glasses that are
on the back of your fucking hat with the like

(04:36):
foam connectors. What are you doing? What exactly are you doing?
You in like a perpetual state of fishing. Absolutely not
those are icks. I mean, a man can't say mommy,
I can tell you that right now, you'd be living
with your mommy real soon. Let's talk about lab grown diamonds.

(05:12):
Speaking of things I don't want, lab grown diamonds are
things that I do want. Why they are actual diamonds.
They're actual diamonds. It's like a vegetable grown outside or
inside in like inside, like it's still a vegetable, Like
it's grown in a controlled environment. A lab grown diamond
is not naturally occurring in the middle of like you know,
another country, like a piece of coal that was condensed

(05:35):
and heated to be a diamond or whatever happens. But
like it's an actual diamond, and the prices are a fraction.
And so now I'm really confused because a lot of
my natural diamonds more unrelatable content I'm scared to wear.
I'm gonna put a turtleleg over my head. The earring's
gonna come out, Like I want the freedom of the

(05:56):
lab grown earrings, like I don't. I don't want the
stress I'm selling. I've sold all those bags, you know,
I sold like fifty bags, and because of this luxury
revolution where I just think it's so stupid and overpriced.
I've kept some, but now I'm about to move into jewelry.
So i just sent a pair of earrings and I'm
gonna take a hit on them, a pair of diamond
big earrings that I just to hurt my ears. You
have to. I get worried I'm gonna lose them if

(06:18):
I'm traveling and they're not on my body. I worry
that they're in my purse, like it's just like having
an extra two children. I want to lean out. All
this stuff is making me crazy. But lab grown diamonds
are taking over, and girls who have real who have
natural diamonds are freaking out because there are other girls
in their friend group that have much bigger diamonds and
they're actual diamonds. They have certificates, they have much bigger

(06:39):
diamond rings. And now the girls who have the natural
diamonds are all annoyed because they're like, wait, I have
a natural diamond that's you know, costs so much more.
I don't think in hears to come, it's going to
be worth so much more. That's the problem. So people
will say there's always going to there are always there's
always gonna be the market for naturally occurring diamonds as
an investment, et cetera. I don't know. I'm just telling
you that diamond business is tay and a hit. So

(07:01):
have watches like the luxury space is feels like it's
in the upside down. I don't know for a fact,
but it feels like it is. Brennan and I experienced
a passive aggressive woman at the supermarket that we can't
stop talking about because it happens in many different places,
and I just want to talk about the way to

(07:23):
enrage someone. It's the same thing as like ignore by text.
We were in a store and there was a man
that was being checked out at the supermarket and she
was checking him out and we were standing right behind him,
and we said to the to the checkout person who
wasn't talking to him, where it do you know where
the blah blah blahs, I forget where were looking? There

(07:44):
was something we were looking pretzels, I think it was,
And so she ignored us, and we thought, there's no way,
there's no way she doesn't hear us because we're talking
like a full volume. And then the guy checked out
and she was standing there and I think like she
had been annoyed that we had been talking to her
wash she was checking him out, and we asked the
question again, excuse me, and then like it was like hostile,

(08:06):
like you could tell she was doing it on purpose,
and we were just like, excuse me to you. And
it was crazy because it happens in many different places.
And I know people are frustrated and they're frustrated with
their jobs, but like sometimes you ever noticed that a bartender
or someone just doesn't want to respond to you. It
could be it's always someone in like the service business,
and we've gotten into a situation where the customer is

(08:29):
always wrong, like with cancelation and the way things go now,
the customer's always wrong and not allowed to complain. I'll
let to say anything. It's always the customer's wrong. But
I will tell you there is nothing more frustrating than
when you catch someone who's pass ag and you can
you know the moment that you realize that they're definitely
fucking with you on purpose, but they're in the power

(08:51):
position because the customers always wrong. In twenty twenty five,
and you're just like and we kept and Brim is
like I'm gonna Brim was like I'm gonna go louder
and louder. We're like, do you know what? Like it
was greaty see the woman just we talked about it
the whole vacation. She just never wanted to respond to us,
never wanted to respond to us. Oh my god, text responding?

(09:18):
How much does text suck? How much has text been
overused as a means of communication for everything? People are
expressing their feelings, people are really going through it, and
it becomes like addictive, like let me say this, let
me say something else, let me get this in. I
didn't get my full thought, and it is really just
the death of human interaction. Text is the worst, and
you can't resist. I mean, there are people that I've

(09:40):
gone out with that like I've gone out with, been
out with, been together with that we've really never spoken
on the phone. You could be with someone, you could
be in a relationship and never speak to someone on
the phone. I'm at the point where I think FaceTime
is critical, especially if you want to talk about something
like text is just the devil. And if someone doesn't
respond when you text, it's hostile. It's not necessarily intentionally hostile,

(10:05):
but let's put it this way. If you see that
someone responds to people they work with in a meaningful,
timely fashion, or their children or their parents, and they
don't respond to you in a meaningful fashion, then something's wrong.

(10:26):
There's something intentional, there's something blocked. There's something passive aggressive,
there's something hostile, there's something subconscious. People have to respond
