Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hi, everybody. I'm Danny Vega, joined by our returning guests, Molly, Hello,
the yoga Queen. I actually cajolder into doing a yoga
situation today. So excited about that. You do not teach
yoga today?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
I did not. Today is my day off?

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
How nice and luxurious.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
And you maintain you don't have a yoga voice.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I maintained that, but usual, Hello students, that's really good.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
You don't do it. I would be good. Hello, students,
Welcome to yoga. Sounds just like assume cow cat post.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Oh my god, I love assume as the cue.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Assume the position.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Wow, okay, this week.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Is no assholes here, AI.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Te down dog, assume cat cow?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
What is it? Cat?

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Cow? Yeah? You had what did you say?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I don't know?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Cow?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Cat? Is it cow?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Like one is and one is a cow? It literally
is like no move, Yeah, that's what you have to do.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
As they assume cat cow and they say, yo, moomom,
why is it? That's actually a good is it? Theater
tongue twister? Now moom yow, muse.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Now mew moom yow, moom yoaw, moom y'aw.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Moo wow, very cold, very la I could be an anger.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
So it's is it because it is a cat?

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Cow?

Speaker 1 (01:27):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (01:28):
So when you arch your spine when.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
You're in that's like a cat.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah. When you this is an anterior tilt in layman's terms,
that's when your ass is sticking out, and that is
a cow spine.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
That's a cow. Yeah, because the cow is just vibing.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
You get it, and you know, think about a cow's
spine it kind of slumps down, ye, kind and then
a think of a Halloween cat.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Well, and that's what I was going to say. There's
a cat listening right now. It's like, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Really, oh fuck you?

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Oh yeah, I have my my back up all the time,
are you. I walk around my house like the rest
of you, like normal. I'm not always in a bad mood.
That's a cat stereotype.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
You're so right. You're so right. Cats usually have.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
A neutral they usually have a neutral spine, and yoga
is painting them as these hysterical.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, we'll add that to the list of problematic yo.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
And then there's downward Dog. That one's famous everybody and
everybody else down he knows her. It's great.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't really talk about my job on this podcast.
It's not really truly notable.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
You know what's funny is I don't actually know what
you do for a living. I know that you frequent
a coworking space I do. I go, and I imagine
you have work to do when you're there, but I
could also see you not having work to do when
you're there.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
They do, and I whine about it too. I don't
have any real coworkers. That's kind of the weird thing
is they're like, actually, this is kind of funny. I've
been wanting to chew on this. So there's this girl
there and she goes, She's like, I give you guys
as my coworkers, and I'm like, that's kind of mean,
Like there's no need to be kind.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Of like at the co working space.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, I'm like, I'm not your coworker though, like, yeah,
we can actually be friends. Like and also there's like,
I know the co worker is like we're forced to
hang out. Yeah, I'm like we could just hang out
or not. Like there's no pressure, So why are you
saying that I'm a co worker, Like, I'm not your coworker.
It's weird, but we'll I guess. I mean, I go
in every day. So in a sense, there is.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
But it's a choice to be a choice.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, it is a choice, and it's actually hideously unproductive
to go.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
I bet it's like it's like all the people.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
It's very fun.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah. Do you still have the same job where the
seamless gives you money? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:47):
I have a twenty dollars lunch credit.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I used to get to cash in on Danny's lunch credit.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
And now I get the same place every day. They
make a huge burrito where it's called wild Bird.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
You like it?

Speaker 1 (03:58):
I love it. They make a huge, huge burrito.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's so big, where's wild Birds?

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Who cares? I split it in half and then I
usually give away half the burrito.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's so nice. See you're very generous with your Seamless. Well,
I thank you, but a lot of free meal.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
I have eaten the whole burrito many many times. Should
and I will nap immediately. It will ruin my day.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
You could also do a burdow morning morning, half breedo
b ND the day.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
A lot of my critics suggest that, but.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Your critics suggest that I I Well.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
They're like, oh, you don't have to give it away,
and I'm like no, But it's the best.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
It's very kind that you give it away.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's not truly kind because I will eat it.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
It's not bad for you to eat it.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
I'm trying not to eat it. I'm trying to eat reasonably.
It's I can't even explain it.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
For the next meal when they give you this for
the next meal, half of it.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I know, I know, I understand that, and today I
did because I left it there. And that's one of
the tools I use. If I left it where at
the coworking, Oh, I can't access it. But it's this burrito.
You don't even understand how big it is. You're right,
I don't like just half of this burrito is.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Like relative to your face.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Do you remember when Chipotle burritos were like huge?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
It's that big, you're like upsetting looking.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Chipotle burritos used to be crazy before COVID and inflation. Chipotle.
Eating a whole Chipotle burrito was.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Like really, are you okay? Yeah exactly, but I'm so impressive.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I just had Chipole brido. People like, Okay, do you
wanna talk? Should we talk? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
What's when was the last time you left?

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I got a walk on it? Okay, let me let
me call some people. We'll get together a group. We're
really worried about you. It was so much.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
The last time I went to Chipotle, I I it
was a culture shock to see how much it's shifted.
It was just like going to.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
A scant breed regular regular.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
It was like normal portion size, and like, that's not
why I came here. Yeah, I haven't been.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
When I took an improv class, and people don't like
the comedy talk. It's not a comedy talk thing.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Relax.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I took an improv class and I remember, you know,
I must have been twenty two or whatever. Who cares
twenty four one of those bullshit ages.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Shut up?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now the guy and that guy has the cat. First,
it's my cat. Now it's fucking me.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
So he's twenty four, he has a kid. He's twenty four,
he has a cat and chronic anterior tilt.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I can't. I don't speak yoga. Remember who that is?

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (06:29):
But this the improv teacher was like, Chipotle has too
much salt?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
What?

Speaker 1 (06:36):
And as a twenty two year old, I was.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Like, shut up, yeah, shut up.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
And now as thirty five year old, I'm like the
man spoke the gospel truth was.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
He saying it to you when you were eating cholet?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
No, it was just like came up the brazenness of
a twenty two year old, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, I feel a little too close to twenty two talk.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Now you know you've wised up? Am I wrong about you?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
You're not wrong, you've wised up. I just feel I
feel like a poser.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
You don't remember being in your early twenties and being
like I know it all.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I do definitely remember that, and now I feel like
I don't know it all, and I still am sure.
I'm kind of an idiot.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
And that's a crazy part. The more the older you get,
the more you're like, I really don't know I have.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Ideally, there's plenty of people getting older thinking they know
more and more, and these are the people you need
to be afraid.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Of, exactly exactly. The more confident someone is, the more
person the more someone hits like I know, I'm like,
I doubt it. Yeah, but if they're my doctor, I
do want them to fake it.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
They like, we know for.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Sure you're fine.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, I'm with you there.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
My doctor didn't check my butt. Now, let me explain
what usually happened. I kind of feel like he didn't
want to, and I didn't like that. When I went in,
he kind of because the stupid app was like you
need to come in the app well, I have like
a doctor app, quickly come in you are sick. And

(08:05):
I was like fuck, all right. And then I went
in and the doctor was like yeah, I don't really
like know why you're here. And I was like, oh, well,
the app said I had to come.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
This is crazy.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
And then he's like, what's up with the asthma? And
I was like, I don't have asthma anymore. That was
like a childhood thing. He's like okay, and then I
was like, how about your your butt issue or whatever?
I don't know well because he had notes, so he's
like going through his notes that he has on me.
And then I was like, I guess it's good. You know,
I don't have any issue. And then he was just
kind of like okay, yeah, it's probably fine, or like

(08:38):
he kind of just like yeah, and I was like yeah.
I was like I kind of want you to, like
did you say that?

Speaker 2 (08:44):
No?

Speaker 1 (08:44):
I didn't, But looking back, I was like, I feel
like he didn't want to check the butt, which I get.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
I imagine he was probably relieved to not have to exactly,
And I think that's can you blame him though, It's
not like you wouldn't have done it if you needed.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
It done, I know, but that was the thing I
wanted him to just justif. I'm more like, well, if
you're not having any symptoms, there's no need for me
to do that, And neither of us really wanted to
do it.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Right, and you wanted him to be a little bit
more gung ho about the thing. I just want to say,
prior to knowing that you had any history of but
butt issues, yeah, I really had a moment of like,
when men go to the doctor, do they routinely get
their butts checked?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
No? It's like, for I heard what it is bullshit.
Yeah it's not a big deal. Yeah, but you're supposed
to get your.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Butt chet memoids take a long time to heal, you
know why, because it's an active driveway.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
That's I hate that. I don't know why it's so much,
but it's fair. Yeah anyway, that's it. I don't have
the carrier is healed. I guess so he didn't check.
That's on you, but you told him well, and then
I was like, fuck, you know what. I was like,
let me just get an STD test and some here.
He's like, we can do that past and that. I
don't know have got the results back, but they took

(10:00):
my only.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
You can only see some of the STDs and then yeah,
some of them you could just carry and like there
are exactly like that.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, it's possible. I had I was GUARDI sled. I'll
have you know it was guarded.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
You was guarded. Good job.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
HPV is an interesting This feels like a Joe Rogan clip.
HPV is an interesting buyral like just some bullshit's about
to follow. But yeah, anyway, should we do this, Let's
do it, let's do it, Let's do it. Thanks for listening, everybody.
I guess I've been wanting to say this to the
listeners for a while. I've been needing to say it,

(10:41):
which is, you know, I am looking for a co
host and a regular situation. It's just like it's tough.
People are busy. You know, the regulars. I established them
and then they go to Romania. Just got back actually
because Carlo went to these ghosts. You know, it's like

(11:03):
and that's.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
La try to get the only people.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well, yeah, those are the most regular. Rada Rada and Carlou.
That's there's other regulars, you know, Gottie and I should
just did some episodes. The dads, well, one of the
dads moved to San Diego now, and it's like, I mean,
let me ask you, just on a casual level, try

(11:27):
getting together people in La on a weekly.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Basis O crazy, difficult, difficult.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
For some reason, it's a weekly is too much bi weekly? Yes,
maybe I do have a friend group. We meet bi
weekly religiously, but.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Now that's your bros movies.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
That's my bros movies, but not weekly.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
You're so well balanced, thank you.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
I seek balance.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Before we start. I also want to talk about your
bathing suit.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
We are starting talk about the baby. You didn't let
me here we go?

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I wanted to. I asked Daniel question. He said, save
it for the pod, and I was like, people really
do that. So here we are. So I excuse myself
to the restroom, which now is part of my lore here.
But it was just a pee and I noticed that
Danny had two bathing suits hanging up, and so I
came back out and I I haven't seen Danny in

(12:16):
a week, and I wanted to know what he got
up to. So I was like, what are those bathing
suits from? And he was like, what do you mean?
And I said again, what are they from? And he said,
none of this is good listening. He said what do
you mean? And then I said, well, they're hanging up.
So usually when I have bathing suit hanging in my bathroom,
it's because I wore them and they need to dry

(12:36):
before I wash them, or I washed them and they
need to dry. So when did you go wear a
bathing suit? And Danny said, that's just where they go.
He said, that's just where they go. That's where he
keeps them right on a hook. There's a hook in
his shower, presumably for a towel that's actively in rotation.
And they're hung up, not even like like they're up

(13:00):
from like the lining underneath. So it's really not giving
like permanent fixture. It's looking like this is temporary for function.
We got this out.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
If I had a function here, like a game night,
I would hide stuff like that in the bathroom and
stew it somewhere.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
But like I find it, is your closet overflowing?

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, really someways, Yeah, I have a lot of closet
structural issues.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
And forgive me if I'm wrong, but I saw two
bathing suits in there. Is that the whole collection? That's
basically it, and we don't the closet can't handle two
more bathings.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Just where would I put that?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Well, the close, No, they could go with the underwear section,
they could go.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
You know, interesting my butt again. But since we're in it,
I generally believe that I need to wash my bathing
suits because I get a very itch. I get a
really bad itch in your ass in it on the outside.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
You gotta wash your me suits? Yeah, they have me
there no context need it.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
I need to wash my bathing suits because it's really
bad and it gets really uncomfortable. And then I have
to go to the restaurant bathroom because like usually we'll
go whatever, we go swimming, and then we go to
a restaurant, and then I have to go in the
restroom and stick paper towels under my cheeks becausewise this
yeah itch. Essentially this is they have like.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
The built in underwear. Maybe you need ones that don't
they have the nets, you need the non built in net.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Maybe you're allergic to silicon. You need only only special fibers.
Maybe you're a fancy boy, sure, a linen swimmer. Sure, regardless, though,
I do think we could find room for the bathing suits.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
And you found it unsightly.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
No, I think that's harsh. And you've seen my apartment,
which is queen unsightly. It's very There's a lot going
on things everywhere. Bathing suits hanging, it's a solid beat,
no problem taking. But like bathing suits hanging would not
be shocking. There's constantly yoga.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
So I was not offended. You say, oh, just like me.
He must have used these clothes recently.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's giving in transition, it's given active drive.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
That's what I'm saying. They seemed like they were in rotation.
I said, what adventures did you guys?

Speaker 1 (15:16):
They shouldn't go there? You win. I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
I thought maybe you went to the ocean. You had
some cliff dru diving.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well, okay, in my slight defense there, I don't know
if you realize there's eight million hooks in the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
I actually didn't.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
The previous tenant said to themselves, what if I had
eight million hooks? They were sort of a hook oriented person,
and they they know so many hooks, Yeah, so many
hook They got hooks. There's I have a hallway with
like little like what are those called, like cooks hooks.
They added more hooks, they needed extras. They must have

(15:52):
added at least ten hooks in the bathroom area. They
were five in the closet area, five more in the kitchen.
And I'm like, I don't know, like you're shitty. By
the way, they're the stickers.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
They're literally stickers, and they're just gunky.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
And if I rip them off, then what now I'm
looking at like it rips the paint off. So what
else am I supposed to hang there?

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Art? I mean, you said it, not me. Towels.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Danny, You've given me a lot to think about. You
could hang some dried eucalyptus in your bathroom.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
That's not a bad idea, really nice our second folks,
thank you for I am trying to find a co
host anyway. Just I have that thread, I get it.
I want regularity, I want someone. You know, there's a
reason Molly's back here. Maybe maybe she's one of the people.
I don't know. I don't know I'm trying, but.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Is the first I'm hearing of this. I need Danny
invited me back and I said, I said, did I
do a good job? And he essentially was like not yes,
not no. And I was like, okay, well, I don't
think it was crazy of me to think that because
you asked me to come back.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Well, here's the truth, Ruth, it's because I think we
told you make I think we have a good rapport.
I think so, and you know that's something. And I
felt like we had some good laughs, some good riffs.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
I had a good time, so you know, okay, but
the audience is might call back.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Because I had a friend who was like, oh, like
do they love me? And I'm like, well, they're not
going to love you, bro, Like you've got to get
to know that, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Do they love me?

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Like they're not kind of crazy, it's kind of crazy.
It's a lot to ask, Like you have to warm up,
they have to like see.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, they got to use to you. Hey, guys, this
is Molly coming at you live from Danny's couch. I
just want to say you can trust me. I'm a
nice guy. I'm a nice gal. Sure, I'm regular. Sure,
I'm reliable weekly, I'm reliable.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
See that's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
But also I'm not I'm not going to sell myself.
I want to be asked to be your co host.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
That's fair.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Well there slowing, I'm just not campaigning.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
I like the campaign. Wherever you just did. It was
like an ad for.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Mollie doubts more what it was a TA for.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Not telling my girlfriend the actual plot of the TV
show our second story of the day, but our first story.
Mollie did let me go to yoga town. She is
a formidable yogi. Say that Aiita for not doing yoga
with my girlfriend. My girlfriend eighteen f has been getting
really upset with me recently for not doing things she

(18:29):
said would make her happy and she thinks I would
enjoy because I think that I'd be uncomfortable doing these things.
It all started when she wanted to put makeup on
my face in a feminine way, blush, lipstick. I don't
feel comfortable doing that, but to compromise a let her

(18:52):
partially do it on the condition that she not take
any photos. She got so upset that I wouldn't let
her take any photos, which I thought was a reasonable
thing to ask, as those photos would be quite embarrassing
for me. Her reasoning for wanting the photos was for
the memories, but I didn't understand why the memory itself
wasn't enough. More recently, she wanted me to learn to

(19:14):
do a TikTok dance with her, which I knew I
wouldn't enjoy, but offered to start learning with her anyway,
on the condition she neither records uploads it anywhere nor
makes me do it in front of anyone else again
I find it embarrassing. After about five minutes of learning
the dance, she tells her sister we're learning it and

(19:35):
says we will show her, which annoyed me as I
had quite directly requested her not to make me do
it in front of anyone. She then got upset me
and said it was unreasonable me to put my fear
being embarrassed over her happiness. The most recent incident was today.
She was talking about a yoga class she wanted to
do with me, and I told her I don't like
yoga as I've tried it in the past, and that

(19:57):
i'd be willing to do a class with her, just
not yoga. I slipped up and mentioned that i'd be
embarrassed with my friends saw me doing a lady's yoga class,
but I know I wouldn't enjoy it. She got very
upset and started arguing with an earshot of her family,
which was more embarrassing for me. She loudly said, she's
mad that I keep putting my own embarrassment over her happiness.
But I don't understand why me not wanting to do

(20:17):
something that I wouldn't enjoy is so unreasonable, Aita.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Okay, so she I'm picturing the girl from Finding Nemo
with like the Dora Dory do. No, that was a fish,
the little girl. She's the niece of the dentist. She
wears the headgear, braces, and she's just like a hurricane

(20:44):
of a person. The fish know who she is. The
receptionists at the dentist's office know who she is. Every
time she comes in, the whole place shakes, and she
goes up to the fish tank and like bangs on
it and says like he likes it. Anyway, I'm visualizing
this girl as that girl, and her boyfriend is like
the little fish that she's like pulling around saying like

(21:04):
he likes it. That's the first thing sounds like she
wants a doll to play dress up with.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
I agree. I feel like I feel like he. When
I first read this, by the way, I thought OPI
was such a whimp and I was like, shut up.
But on the reread, I'm like, damn, Like he kind
of gives her what she wants and then she has
to have more. She's like, why can't I take a photo?
Like I think you know why I get to Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I also think it's funny, though, Yeah, Like, what's more
embarrassing if you're gonna be embarrassed about having makeup on
as a boy? What's more embarrassing is doing that secretly?

Speaker 1 (21:41):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, Danny, hear me out? What do you hear?

Speaker 1 (21:45):
You?

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Like? If you're gonna be embarrassed about it, it's like
more it's a for him. For this man's brain, it's
a bigger weight. It seems like it would be a bitter,
bigger weight on his conscience that he secretly put on
makeup with his girlfriend, versus like him being like, Haha,
look at me, I put on makeup with my girlfriend.

(22:07):
Like now we're like closeted about it, and now there's
like some weird like shame attached to it.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Well, he's embarrassed, he doesn't want anyone to know, and
he definitely doesn't want to record it. I think that's reasonable.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
I think if you're that embarrassed about it, though, don't
I get he's doing it to make her happy. I
don't know. It seems stupid, It seems very weird. It's
like if he's not comfortable doing it, he.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Is comfortable, he just doesn't want to record it.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
He's not comfortable.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
He's letting her do it.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Molly.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
It's a compromise. It was reasonable, that was sweet of him.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
It was and wasn't enough for her, and he's still uncomfortable.
So it seems like, well, everybody loses, Well.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
No, why does everybody lose?

Speaker 2 (22:52):
She's not happy.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
She's not happy because she's impossible.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Exactly, so everybody loses. He's trying to be good and
it's not enough.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
He is being good, he's saying, okay, I'll do it,
And I think that's really cool of him. Great and
especially for an eighteen probably an eighteen year old, I hell,
this isn't like thirty five m dating and eighteen.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
I know, crazy, But I like when she said something
she said like you're putting your why is your embarrassment
in front of my uh happiness?

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Well that's up there. So then he so let's just
be clear. This motherfucker does the makeup. Yeah, he does it,
and then she's kind of on him. Well can I
do the photos? No, you can't do the photos. Then
we do the TikTok dance super reasonable again, he says,
just don't. I don't want to do it in front
of anyone else. She then tells her sister that we're

(23:47):
learning it and says that we will show her, which
annoyed me. Is I directly requested because it's never enough
for her. Then she gets upset and said it's unreasonably
to put my fear being embarrassed over her happiness. I
mean the girls and being impossible. She I feel like
he met her so beyond the middle, gave her what
she wanted. Did the dance Nope, But now they have

(24:08):
to perform it too. He doesn't want to perform it.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Now we get to yoga, which I would say, compared
to TikTok dance, is more reasonable. I guess it's an
hour a TikTok dances humiliating.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Then and then I'm like, well, I actually feel like
even though when I first read this, I was like,
just do a yoga class, who cares, I'm like, he's
still saying he'll do another class. He just doesn't want
to do yoga.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Okay. I do think he said something about a lady's
yoga class, so that kind of gave a little peek
into where he might be at. Like, I don't think
it's as simple as that. I didn't like it. I
think he said I believe that. But then when he
said ladies yoga class, I said, oh, there's something.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Well, he associates it with women, which we sort of whatever.
You apparently have a lot of men in your classes,
but for me, every yoga class, I bet it has
been all girls.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Okay, well okay regardless.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
And me very embarrassed that I'm weaker than all of
these girls, which girls are strong, girls are very strong,
and the core and the girls have horse legs. What
are your powerful legs?

Speaker 2 (25:14):
I said, true orful? Sure?

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Right?

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Why not as opposed to what.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Stick legs?

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Sure? I don't know. I can't see why I agree
with you would hurt anyone.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
But yeah, I guess I just kind of feel like
he's giving it to her like he's meeting in the middle.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, I just I think at the end of the day,
you and I are litigating a relationship of eighteen year olds,
and like the truth is, nothing is reasonable. Like they're eighteen.
It sounds like they're not compatible, and just my feeling
is throw the baby and the bath water out.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
But but no, but one person is being unreasonable, not both.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
You're right, I think she's being unreasonable, and I think
he doesn't need to stick it out, but maybe he's
not asking for that advice.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Well, And the other thing is like it's not just
that she's asking more, which is annoying but understandable. But
then the way she brought in the sister, I'm like,
you're just showing like you can't you can't like get
someone to do something for you, and then like add
icing on the cake I just gave you.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
It's like, lady, and what I'm saying, it just sounds
like nobody is happy because she's not getting I agree
with you, but I'm saying you're saying breakup, yeah, which
isn't the question, so whatever, but that is what I'm
saying because she wants something else and he is being

(26:53):
very kind and compromising and is unhappy that's the nature
of the compromise. And he's not even being like recognized
for the compromise he's making, so exactly kind of over it.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
I'm actually very proud. I think he's a meet in
the middler. I would say, if it was just the
yoga thing, yeah, if there wasn't this whole history, I
would be like, shut up and do the yoga class.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Even if he's done yoga before and he didn't.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Like yes, because I'm like, because here's the thing. When
I first read this to me, it was.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Like, I'm embarrassed, That's what it kind of embarrassed.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
But the thing is, I'm like.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
He said, lady yoga class. He really lost me there.
I was a friend.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
I don't know what. You're kind of biased about yoga.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
No, I think I am, because if he just didn't
want to take yoga class, I wouldn't be like he must.
But when he said a lady yoga class, I said, oh,
you're showing your hand to me.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
It's the whole history. Look, do I think it's a
reasonable compromise that he was willing to put makeup on
his face? I think that's pretty reasonable. I think a
lot of guys wouldn't do that, and I wouldn't say
that's something likewise, I wouldn't say.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
So reasonable that she even put him in that posision
if he didn't want that, that's wanted to do it.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
For whatever reason. She thought it would be fun, Okay,
And I thought that was really nice of him and cool.
It was nice kind of like if I was like, really,
it's kind of like this, like I want my girl
to try the one wheel. Now she may like my girl,
she may like.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
You're a hypothetical girl.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, Okay, I want her to try it because she
may like it, she may not, but I want her
to try That's all I really asked.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Totally.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
If she feels the love I feel for the electric skateboard,
then I'll obviously be buying her one. Yeah, I want
her to try it.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
And honestly, this guy's never done yoga with his girlfriend,
and maybe even even if he's taken a yoga class before,
he could take a class with her.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
And I would say that, and I would be with you, Yeah,
does this history hold this ship on the makeup boundary? Pushing?
And it's like it's like you said, I think you
really found it where it's like it really just doesn't
feel like he's getting any credit, and she violated his
trust with the TikTok dance, and for these reasons.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
It sounds like no fun.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
I know my answer, I know you're in serious ata
for not doing yoga with my girlfriend. Well, on the
title literal NTA, I would say y ta, but after
hearing this.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Thing, title lacks context.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
With all the contexts. Yeah, I feel like this girlfriend
is being the ass.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
She's being the asshole. She's also being eighteen. Like all
of this is unreasonable, very true, and I know that's
not a real answer.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Well she but no, I mean it's true.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
It's like at the beginning of a horror film, just
being like, oh, just don't go down there, like yeah, okay,
and then there's no movie.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
But that's good.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Anytime we have to litigate like teenagers relationships, I kind
of just feel like all of this is bad and wrong.
But foundations don't learn though as they get older.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
You mean, yeah, they really don't.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah, but I'm saying, like these people, it's to be
expected almost so sure, I kind of have less patience
for it.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
I think, Okay, Well, We're done. That's mad at me, guys.
Thanks for listening, right re subscribe Rain on Patreon. Here
we go. AATA for not telling my GF the actual
plot of a TV show. A few nights ago, I
had twenty four F introduced my GF twenty five f
to one of my all time faves, Siberia. Spoilers incoming

(30:17):
for all the people who.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Are I didn't even know that show exists me neither.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
It was a one season show RUNNBC. It was a
reality show competition like Survivor, but it takes place in Siberia, Russia.
It's not actually a reality show though it's a supernatural
sci fi show. It was just shot in that style.
The thing is, I watched the show with my dad
as it came out, and at the time I was thirteen.
My dad was the one who was interested, and I
never saw any of the advertisements, so he just led

(30:41):
on that this was a supernatural He never let on
that it was a supernatural show, so I just thought
it was this crazy off the rails reality show was amazing,
and it quickly became one of my favorite shows. I
actually didn't find out until years later that it wasn't
real and that was really cool for me. So when
I told my GF that my favorite show is Siberia
and that she'd never heard of it, I had the
idea to do the same for her. To preserve reviewing experience.

(31:04):
I told her that we should totally watch it together,
but not to look it up because things went really
awry and there was a lot of bad press and
it will spoil the winner. She didn't and we started watching. Spoiler.
The plot includes a contestant dying mysteriously in the first episode.
It's not real, Are you okay?

Speaker 2 (31:23):
I'm totally fine. I was like, wait, it's real. Someone died. Yeah, yeah,
I forgot.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Contestants not being able to call for help and then
being abandoned by the whole crew, and even an alien
like night sky turning green event in episode four. I like,
how that's a spoiler.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yeah, what the alien night skyturn.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
The night sky turns great. I'm not watching this anymore
now I know the whole thing. My GF was so
concerned of fright and she couldn't believe it was allowed
to air. When asked about certain events, I played it
off as being a different time. It was a nighties
people died on TV. It's a thing. So I was

(32:04):
just like, yeah, it was a big deal. That's kind
of why I told you not to look it up,
because it would have been a massive spoiler. So he
tried to. He kind of played it off like it
was a big deal when the person died, and that
seemed to be okay, and again she believed me. I
even offered to stop watching at one point, but she declined,
saying she needed to know what happened. It's only like
ten apps. After we finished, I asked for her thoughts.
She said she liked it, but only in like I

(32:25):
can't look away kind of way. She couldn't believe it aired.
That's when I said, that's because the whole show is fake.
It's actually a supernatural show made to look like a
reality show. I expected to see relief from her, but
instead she was pissed and started to cry. She said
she couldn't believe I would do this to her and
just left my apartment. I tried texting her over and

(32:46):
over how it was just about the viewing experience, that
my dad did this to me, and that it really
couldn't have been that shocking. There was literally an alien abduction.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
AI ta got her, really got her.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
I've run into this quite a bit among some some
like women friends and like at like little speed dating
things like just yeah, women who won't this isn't exactly
the same thing, but they'll be like like I had
a friend who was like, I can't watch Severance. Did
you watch Severance?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
No? I told you I haven't watched.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
All you really need to know is that Severance is
not really gory. It's just like I would say, I
would say it's maybe stark or maybe depressing, but not gory.
I wouldn't call it a horror. It's maybe like intense
and a little depressing. And I was like, damn, really,
like I don't know, it's like a sensitivity to media.

(33:44):
I don't know if that's what this is made of exactly. Yea.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
To me, it reminds me more of people they'll say
it with like Nathan Fielder's original show Nathan for You,
And then I definitely heard it about the rehearsal of
like oh no, I can't watch, like it's so mean,
like these people don't know what he's doing because the

(34:07):
show is that, Like whatever do we have to tell
them what the show is? They know?

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Well, whatever. It's like tricking people.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yeah, but like he doesn't, so they're uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
He doesn't hurt them. They're uncomfortable with seeing people.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Tricked exactly, but ultimately, like a lot of like he's
supposed to help their businesses, but he helps them with
these really stupid ideas, and the joke is like these
people go along with it, like they the idea is
pitched to them fair and square and they say, Okay,
let's try it. They don't have to invest money in it,
Like the whole production of the show is the investment

(34:40):
in these businesses, so they're not losing any money. Like,
these businesses are not going bankrupt after he leaves, and
then they get so much press from his show that
so many of these places have ended up being like
really famous and popular because like this yogurt shop, he
made them do a flavor that was poop flavor. This
like pizza shop whatever, like so free, stupid, and the

(35:01):
owner of that yogurt shop, like un ironically, not knowing
that that's this guy's stick, was like, Okay, let's try that,
and yeah, that's super embarrassing for you, but that's on you, bro,
that's not his But yeah, people are just sensitive to
stuff like that. I don't think it's the same as
like this is triggering for me.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Well that that's almost a different perspective of it, right,
because this so Actually the only thing I can like
in this too, in my experience is when I found
out the what's his name Santa wasn't real? Wait, what
the you know? The fat guy who commitsed robbery? Hold on, guy,

(35:44):
I can't remember what Santa? You know, I don't know.
It's associated with Christmas and he kills seriously, I probably
kills anyone, but he has all these animals.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
I can't remember his deal. No, And then I learned that,
because then it really hit me that, oh my god,
Santa isn't real. The Easter Bunny's not real. And I
was just like sobbing, find thirteen, okay, And I remember
I was in the laundry room and I was just.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
An older sobbing to be an older simple you found
out at thirteen that these things didn't exist? How is
your childhood of whimsy? Must have been nice?

Speaker 1 (36:18):
I feel like that's being asked in a weird way.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Totally Wait, because you're I'm a younger simbling, So I
knew that it was all bullshit.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Oh when did your when did you learn six?

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Yeah? Something something brute, older brother, it's not real, idiot,
like at a time when I could have still believed
in the tooth fairy, I that was taken from me.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Yeah it was nice. You're right, there was like a
little whimsical. Yeah. I don't really remember any of it,
but it left I feel like it left a good
impression on me.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
For sure.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
But yeah, So so she's she's upset and crying because
I think she feels like an idiot.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
She feels best.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Yeah, it's not really what I'm saying. I think I
missed the mark totally. It's not that she was triggered
by anything.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, you're right, she does feel du Yeah, and I'm
sure she could. She's gonna make an argument that's like, oh,
I was like scared, like someone died. But it's not
like he tricked her and said, like someone you know died.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
No, you know, I don't. I feel like we talk
a lot about this is a form of a prank. Really,
it is kind of a form of a prank. It
is you know, he played the prank up. He did
help with the prank.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Not the best prank, like, not a cruel prank.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Not a cruel prank. No, I think this is a.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Not even he can't take any credit for it. Is
a show that he pressed to play. He made shows
a prank.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
No, but he set it up a little right because
he said, don't look it up. He's like, yeah, you know,
I can't believe either.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
It was a huge deal. I think he deserves a
good samaritan a word, like. He facilitated this woman's experience
consuming a piece of media, and he knew exactly the
right way to consume it. And if it's consumed drong,
it ruins the whole experience. We need more men like this,
and not as partners. We just need them around. You
can rent one like Blockbuster and they kind of like

(38:09):
bring you through a movie or something like without spoiling
the end for you. I think he's doing good work.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
I'm big on that. I don't want to know. I
want to go in. I honestly, I've learned I don't
really even want to see the trailer. I want to
just really experience and take it in totally because it
just fucks with you.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
And do they have some rule where he is not
allowed to show her shows and say that they're reality
TV when they're actually sci fi shows.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Do they have a rule that would be really specific?
It would be I don't know how many shows that
would cover, and.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
So maybe they don't have that rule. So I don't think.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
I don't feel like he did anything wrong. I respect
her reaction, though, and I think I think she's having
a huff about it. She feels dupe, she feels stupid.
I mean, we're just talking about this eighteen year old.
This girl's twenty five. She's a little older. But I
think she feels like an idiot. I also thought what
op said was reasonable. He's like, well, I didn't mean
to make you feel like an idiot. I just I
experienced it this way and it was really cool.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
And it was so cute the way like he experienced
it with his dad. He was trying to do that
for her.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
There is I can't actually relate to this another way.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Please.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
How do you feel about surprise parties?

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Oh? How do I feel about them?

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:22):
I'm not avidly against a surprise party. I wouldn't be
mad at you, and there are people who would be
mad at you. Totally and they would feel duped. And
I think that lines up.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
It's just kind of a personality thing.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Yeah, that's really interesting.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
I have to say, I don't think she did anything wrong.
I think OP can learn a viable lesson. I don't
think he did anything wrong. I do think he owes
her an apology.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
You really have such an open mind, I imagine from
doing this podcast, like you look at every every perspective.
I was ready to just dismiss, dismiss.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Dismiss you her well, because she's she he's a cry baby.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
I mean, coming from a fellow cry baby, what do
you mean you're a crybaby? Yeah, I've been called sensitive.
I'm totally like, I don't I in this particular situation.
I don't identify with her reaction. But I've definitely been
the emotional person in a situation before.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Extremely nebulous word. I've been emotional.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
I've been emotional. I hate to admit it.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
I've had an emotion too in my day puff cigarette.
I remember the emotion of nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
That was the last one I asked.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
I felt the sadness as they said. Yeah, I think
this can blow over. I think look, I think this
is intent for impact. His intent was great, he did
all the right things. I don't think any reasonable person
would say this was malicious or mean or crazy risk.
It's far less risk than a surprise party. Yeah, you

(40:57):
know there's no one there to watch or witness.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
That's also my problem with her running out. And I
hesitate to say that because it's obviously your prerogative to
walk into any room and walk back out of it.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
Yeah, but you.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Are one on one with the person who you are supposedly,
like probably closest with, and like something happened to upset
you that wasn't dangerous and wasn't like violating. I don't
know that the storm out and now he needs to
like text you frantically is the appropriate reaction. But maybe

(41:33):
I'm out of line for saying what the appropriate reaction.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
It was a big flip of reality for her. Yeah,
and I think to see this is true, this is science.
I'm going to gender town, so cancel me if you must.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
But it's true.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
It's true. Women are Women are more empathetic in a
very literal way than that. And that way is that
if I tell you, like a really happy story, I believe,
generally speaking, right that women have something called mirror neurons,
and so they'll actually like feel more happiness, whereas like
I think, I think men are more intellectualized. So it's

(42:08):
like I can kind of more understand it, but I
might not be as pron as the average woman to
be like, oh, I feel what you feel.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
So maybe she felt like that death for example more.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Yeah, she fell into it, like this was real to her.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
And also he was young. He was a lot younger,
which is like, and your.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Dad tricks you in a lot of fucked up ways.
What that's tricky?

Speaker 1 (42:31):
And yeah, of course you're dad tricky. That's like what
dad's do. Yeah, so I feel like the dynamic is different.
I feel like she felt dupe. She's also older than him,
which is trivial in most cases, but like he's twenty
four and she's twenty five.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Oh, but trivial in this case too. It's like whoa
by a year.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Oh my god, this is two women.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Oh my god. Let's pause and just talk about the heteronormativity.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
We apologize or for heteronormatizing serious situation between two young lesbians.
We love that said, I do not believe it has
any moral relevance.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Yeah, the lesbianism of it all.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
No, I don't think it's relevant.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
No, I don't think it's relevant either, But other than
we've just been misgendering, and I do find it well.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
I would also push back that that's misgendering. I don't
think that's what's meant.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
I've been saying key right, but.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Usually misgender I think is a specific jargon. I don't
think we're guilty of misgendering accident, I know, but miss,
I feel like misgendering has a malice to it.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Doesn't it accidentally misgendered? No, you can, it can be neutral.
I gendered you wrong. I guess your intention is important.
And also like if you've been misgendered so many times
before intentionally by people, it probably affects you differently. But
that's regardless. Right, let's stop the shot.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
We apologize for the misgendering, the heteronormatizing of it all,
the the sloven sloppy, I just patriarchal status quo of
it all.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Say that, and I just want to say to my
new friends as.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Molly, sorry commercial right after the apology.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Well, I just wanted to give an apology directly from
a Molly as part of the Molly commercials. I just
want you guys to hear me when I say I
do know that lesbians exist.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
In fact, I've been one.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
And yet can you fly that?

Speaker 2 (44:47):
What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (44:48):
I've been one? Either one or you know? I like it. Yeah,
we apologize for Molly's statement that she has been one
for she means she has a bisexual So mean not
Oh you don't mean that.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
No, I don't mean that. Oh.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Sorry, Anyway, I think I think we covered it. I
think we covered the apology. I don't think it changes anything.
I think that this was a learning moment for these
two young individuals people US US and I see myself
in both these roles, and I have to say, the

(45:27):
surprise party really, to me is there's a certain kind
of person, and there's there's there really is the pro surprisers.
We talk about gender, but let's talk about the pro
surprisers and the anti surprisers. And I don't know what
makes one what But you.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Don't know your partner well maybe, I mean, like you
never know if your partner is an anti surpriser. You
probably know that it's a question that you should ask.
Yeah it is. The stakes are just not as high
as throwing a surprise party for they not agree, and
so I don't think.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
But there was a lot of investment. There was a
lot of investment of time, yes, but I think emotional investment.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Yeah, but from him too, And I think it came
from a good place.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
It came from a good place.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
So that's what I'm saying, is it's not Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
There's a model of ai TA which says that if
you owe someone in an apology in the wake of
a situation, that does make you the asshole, and that
would make this technically under my rules oyta. However, I
believe in this case the intent was so pure.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Yeah, he was so sweet, and I believe.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
That op did Ope apologize. What did op se? She
couldn't believe I would do this to her. I texted
her saying over and over how I was just about
the viewing experience that my dad does to me, and
that it really couldn't have been shocking. There's basically an
alien abduction. She hasn't responded. Shy It is a little
bit because like she had that reaction.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
I think it was, like he said, it sounds like
he just like denied invalidated her.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
I think he owes her an apology and so under
that model, unfortunately YT is a ya.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Wow, we've been so many places.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Well, we're going to wrap up on a on a
really weird one. I love it though, speaking of people
who are weird, AI TA for drinking fruit juice. When
my partner has said he doesn't like it, let's go,
and I wish I wish the title captured what we're
about to hear, because I mean so much weirder than that.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
I love sitting with the It's like when you draw
a tarot card, before you look at the interpretation, you
just look at the image on it and kind of like,
see what does it mean to you? So will you
read that title.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
A TA for drinking fruit juice when my partner has
said he doesn't like it? Doesn't because right there, I'm
kind of like, oh, this maniacal man, this maniacal man
won't let his sweet girlfriend have some orange juice because
he's such a fitness nut.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Yeah that's yeah. I know there's so many conclusions to
jump to, but if we've learned anything it's that assumptions
make an ass out of you and me.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
And here we go, and that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
That you just made that up right now, Yeah, that's mine.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
I twenty six f have been drinking diluted summer fruit
juice all my life because I hate drinking water. When
I do try drinking water, I wretch due to the
anxiety it gives me trying to drink it. So I
stay hydrated by drinking diluted cordial. And cordial apparently is

(48:37):
like a British word for juice. I think we will
fact check that it's a sweet fruit flavored drink. No, yeah,
it's it's kind of like a fruit syrup.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
Oh no.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
When I met my current partner, we'll call him Gym
thirty four, a m I was drinking. Guys, I was
drinking thirty percent cordial seventy percent water. That's what she drank,
which I admit now was trong. About six months into
my ship with Jim, he confessed he didn't like me
drinking the juice because it made my breath smell bad

(49:15):
of the juice. It stopped me trying new foods, and
it stopped us from traveling cheap because we would have
to pay for baggage just so I could take the
juice on holiday.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
He even compared it that's to an addiction, and how
he was able to quit smoking so I can quit this.
We compromised. Around one year later, I was down to
about five percent cordial. I was able to take my
juice in mini airplane bottles and I had to admit
I was tasting food better.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Holy shit.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Jim was still not happy. We kept getting too fights
about how disgusting it is and it's putting him off
wanting to kiss me.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
I can't even have other fruit flavored drinks because Jim
says it smells and tastes too similar. So I tried
giving it up for him. It's been a month of
attempting to drink sugar water. I'm getting panic attacks hydrated
because I'm not drinking enough. I'm considering going back to
the Cordial because of this, but I'm worried I'm letting
myself and Jim down. Ata if I wanted to drink

(50:10):
fruit juice or do I need to keep pushing update.
I've seen a few people do not understand what I mean
by Cordial. In the UK, it's ultrated fruit juice that's
diluted with water. It's not alcohol. The juice smells to
gym because of the artificial sugar that's put into the cordrual.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
So it's not just fruit juice. I thought she was
like squeezing a lime in her water.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
No, that would be so reasonable.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
It's like minute made, and she's pouring more water in it.
Maybe a little less process than minute made.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
That sounds like it's more process. It sounds like she's
drinking like nasty suthing.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
I'm worried about her. That's where I want to start.
I want to start with therapy. Anytime something becomes so
rigid that like we have to pack an extra suitcase
when we're flying to bring this juice with us. That's
I'm so comfortable going into addiction territory there.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
And it's water.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
It's water. Yeah, let's the anxiety it causes you. You
are you are mostly water. But okay, let's say let's
say she doesn't like water. You reject yourself, And honestly,
that's probably the crux of it.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
You think she hates herself.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Is not why anyone's addict.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
This is honestly making me feel like thirsty.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
I'm literally danny, I'm thirsty right now. This is so
water is one of my favorite things. Do you think
she's ever tried like a kool Aid packet, Ultima liquid IV,
any kind of powder form like drink changer that she
could trow. I'm really caught up on the airplane of
it all.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Yeah, I mean, if that is a cordial, and then
you figure, what do you drink of water a day?

Speaker 2 (51:53):
She needs a duffel of cordial.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Of water a day, Right.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
You need at least double your weight.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Announces she's definitely having to bring I think I'm willing to.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Say, said something stupid.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
She needs two leaders of cordial with her. That's what
she had to bring on the plane.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
That's concerned.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
She had to check it because everybody knows you can't
bring two leaders you can upsetting. She did check. Can
you imagine having to check back white checking baggage. I
got to bring my I got.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
To bring my cordial. That's what I'm saying. Dependency territory.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
I mean, it's just hard when when when people reject water.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
Like brokes really hard. My friend's dad was like that.
When I was growing up, I was always so fascinated.
I haven't like this friend was just someone I kind
of knew, and whatever we fell out of each other's lives,
like truly know nothing of significance. I think about her
dad minimum once a week because he was was so

(52:59):
signific get and fascinating to me.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
And what would he say, I mean, what was the behavior,
what would happen?

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Honestly, we didn't interact much, but I would be at
her house. I'd be like, why do you have all
these like fun drinks? And she'd be like, oh, my
dad doesn't like water, so we just have all these
other drinks. This was when vitamin water either came out
or started being popular.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
Yeah, what happened to vitamin water? It's gone now. I
never see that.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
You never see it any I mean, really stupid. Name
what a simple time that you could say you could
call it vitamin water and people were just like yep,
hell or it was a simpler time.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
I think adulthood has me so boring now. I mean
I just did a cost go order that was mostly vegetables.
It's like the most boring. What are vegetables?

Speaker 2 (53:45):
That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
I'm really just putting water in different forms at this point.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
Well, why can't we get her some like iced tea?
I'm worried about the other things. First of all not
even First of all, I don't even know what I'm
up to at this point. Four of all, she said
she said I drink diluted summer fruit juice. That was
super specific and confusing summer cord. But then I want
to say, what if we what if she tries exactly

(54:12):
what she's saying she's doing, which is mixing juice and water.
What if she takes an orange and squeezes it into
a glass of wine?

Speaker 1 (54:19):
I mean, if you're drinking that west she did get
down a five percent. Yeah, we have to give her
credit for that.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
What do you think it tastes like I'm picturing cough
syrup or something.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
I mean, at five percent, i'd have to be pretty strong.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
I'm going to kiss her. Does Jim like fruit? Well?

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Yeah, because well if it's artificial, though, I'm trying to
think of, like, what's it really like?

Speaker 2 (54:36):
What if she had like lipsmackers on though, like cherry
lip smackers.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
That's gross and I.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
Think that's gross. I mean that is well, like.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Well, here's the thing. Even even artificial flavors that I
like become gross very rapidly, Like I actually like artificial
banana flavor, which that's a lot of flossy. You don't
like it, No, my dad loves it like a banana ru.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
I save him the banana laffy taffy's I love it.
I'll save him for it.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
But like I think, if I had that every day
for God, every day for three days, I'd be like,
I'm good totally.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
It's like, ugh, no, I agree with you. I couldn't.
I mean, just having anything, drinking anything more than you
drink water is like like I can't eat. That can't
feel physically good in your body.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
Doctor teeth PhD is the top comvet, which might be
the best user name of all time. That's so perfect
for this situation. That's so perfect. Like did they make
this account to comment? Maybe that's just on point, that's
just on fucking point. No, they've comments it.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
A lot well on all teeth related.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
The damage to your teeth.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
This is a meth heads I haven't thought about it.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
This is a meth heads beverage selection.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
I mean, yes, they're not looking good.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
If the thought of drinking water makes you wretch, you
need to see a doctor.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Literally.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
If the thought of kissing someone who drank fruit juice
makes him sick, he needs to see he needs to
see a doctor. Do you think he likes fruit and
he's a control freak? I don't think this is about fruit, okay.
And I think doctor with respect to doctor t PhD's credentials,
which there are many, there are many, he's a doctor
et SA HD and a PhD. Maybe it's the same,

(56:22):
Maybe it's not. I think that there's a big gap
between my girlfriend had fruit juice today and I don't
want to kiss her, which is definitely crazy, and my
girlfriend has fruit juice every day for years and I
don't want to kiss her.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
I mean, honestly, maybe her mouth is looking ran sid
like with all the Maybe it's less about the fruit
juice taste and more about her rotting teeth and the
smell of that. And I know you ever smell rotting tooth.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
I had a friend with severe hell toast is growing up,
and honestly, the range on that thing.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
Was can really travel far. It was fart range, It
can travel far.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
I I really do feel like, look, you know, I
people are allowed to have their preferences, but water being
an issue is going to be a sticking point for
me where I'm like, we need to figure out what's
going on with water.

Speaker 3 (57:16):
I'm worried about We need you, We need you drinking
water and water to be on the same thingple. We
really can't have you water enemies, poor body. Water is
you need it in you, and it's it's all around.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
Us, around us and us. It's honest.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
It comes out as honest, it comes out of.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Us into us, you know, through us.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
It really like honestly, I feel like there are people
with drug addictions that don't need to take it on
the plane.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
I wonder what her astrological signs are.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
If she's a water sign, you think that would prove
astrology is a lie.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Maybe she's a fire fire fire firefighter. Yeah, very interesting.
I'm worried about her.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
I mean, we we do saw a lot of progress.
She went from thirty percent cordial to five.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
But it's giving some sort of like like severe OCD
kind of like.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
Well she does explain more, Okay, let's go. I know
it seems like a strained situation to many of you.
My parents were soft and let me have whatever I wanted.
Just come to bite me in the ass. Yeah, I
have some psychological issues regarding waters. I know it's not
normal to wretch at water. I mean that is an understatement. Yeah,

(58:29):
a lot of you have said I should dump.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
Jim Ratchet Saliva.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
I know, right, girl hates her own bodily fluids. I
feel like I shouldn't until I dealt with this issue.
I talked him about how much anxiety this has been
causing me in my craving to go back to the juice.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
I ended up agreeing that we would go to a
doctor together, and he wants to support me getting used
to water, even if it means going back to juice.
I don't want to throw away a relationship just because
of my problem. Thank you everyone for your messages. Fascinating.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
So I want to talk to Jim, and it might
be irrelevant, but I do wonder what his relationship to
fruit is, and I wonder what her relationship to fruit
is outside of juice.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
I have a feeling her diet isn't great because I
don't think you can really Also, she's probably having a
fair amount of calories just from drinking all that sugar.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
I mean, is she okay? I feel dehydrated talking about it.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
It's really a thirst inducer. Maybe he doesn't want to
kiss her because her teeth are f down from literally
never drinking anything without sugar or acid. Oh my god,
her gut, her gut, the little bacteria digestion, her digestion.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Things can't move.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
I can't imagine. The bacteria down there are like, please
anything else. We got it with the cordial, The cordial
people are happy down here, crazy, we mix it up.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
I'm sorry that name just I can't think of anything
other than cough syrup. That's all I see. When you
say co jewel, do you think it's like ocean breeze?
Like Is it like yeahberry juice?

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Yeah, like a sticky, strong juice. You might have bad
diabetes and your breath might smell like fruity acid tone.
I don't know what that means, but I believe it.
Halatosis can be caused by gird and acid reflux.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
Which we say, that's what we saw.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
You need a psychiatrist and a dentist. People write. Somebody
just wrote what the fuck? And somebody replied, simple and
straight to the point. I like it and agree. I
don't know if you can I challenge that. I don't
know if you can agree with a question like what.
I don't know if you can agree with that? What
the fuck? The only explanation is that cordial is code

(01:00:44):
for math.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
Who someone wrote that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Somebody wrote that people are saying your BF is rigid
and controlling, and I think this is for me angering
because I'm like, no, yeah, no, we can't call somebody
rigid for being pro water. That's that's going to be
a touchstone of you do need.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
To drink that stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
There, You're alive, you know, to your boyfriend's being really rigid,
saying you need shelters.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
You gotta breathe, you know, saying in and out through
the nose, I.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
Mean speaking of you know, I have my nose surgery,
no brainer, no brainer, you need you need double breathers.
That's where I'm at now. I say it though mouth
is enough.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Oh my god, no mouth. Now you want them, I
tell you, And I have no authority.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
Or thank you for disclaiming properly.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Yeah, and also, like the facts of this, I'm about
to butcher, but take these little tidbits and go google them.
I was sent an article about how breathing is good
for you, obviously.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
And I'm fucking I mean it, honestly, I've been I've
been a big fan of breathing my whole life. Even
though I was asthmatic, so I was skeptical, but I
got into it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
I think it's a maturity thing, as.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
You don't know, I've matured.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
I'm like air, yes, but I learned. And this is
the science that's kind of lost on me. You know,
there's different chemicals that that we take in and that
we breathe out.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Oxygen and oxygen that's the good one, and the carbon
dioxide out.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Yeah. So apparently when you're inhaling through your mouth, you've
taken a lot of oxygen mm hmm, and like more
than your brain knows what to do with. Oh shit,
I'm really I'm saying this, like.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
Just go for it. We're already in it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
We're doing stress.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
Now we're doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
I think it's you're just over oxygenating your brain. If
you breathe through your mouth too much. You're really supposed
to breathe in and out through the.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
No wild conclusion wild, And I said it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
I will tell you this strongly.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
It was wild. But there's bathrooms at Echo Park Lake,
which is the lake I like to walk around, and
the bathrooms are, for lack of a better word, nar tacular.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Oh good word.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
Thank you. So I will usually hold my breath to
avoid breathing in any of the narnar and I was like,
you know what, I feel like there's a thing about hyperventilating.
And so then I was like.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
What sorry, No, that just stressed me out.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
And so I did a lot of breathing before I
went in, and I was able to hold my breath through.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
A whole piece. You did breathing like that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
And I didn't breathe. I didn't breathe that all in
the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Let me tell you something else else about breathing. Okay, dogs,
we love them doggies famously and very short life span.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
Okay, of of the pets short life span, going with it,
and we know how they.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Breathe some of them.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
Yeah, yeah, pretty across the board. Cats they live a
little longer than most dogs. Their nose breathers. And I'm like, okay, oh,
is that true?

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
Cats are nose breathers mostly?

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
Yeah. Have you ever seen a cat pant? I've seen
my cat pant once. It was terrifying. She was really hot.
We were outside. It was not good.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
That means your cat's having a serious shoe.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
It was too hot. Yeah, really scary. But okay, those
are maybe too close. But then start to think about
an alligator, crocodile, a sea turtle, these beings that can
hold their breath for really long periods of time, that
have these enormous life spans, And then you think about

(01:04:30):
like the science and history that backs up like yogic
practices and the people who have had more longevity culturally. Sure,
it's really comes down to how well you're pacing your breath,
and if you are breathing faster consistently over time like that,
that's anxiety. It's sending physiological signs and messages to your body,

(01:04:52):
and so you're in survival whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
Amen, No, And I want to amend my impression. I
didn't go I know, I actually like.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
Deep.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
Yes, I said deep breaths, that's good. And then I
held my breath and I could easily hold And I'm
a formidable breath holder. I don't know if I've told
you about that. Yeah, I can hold my breath.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
At the top of the inhale or bottom of the exit.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
I don't know. I don't know your yoga.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
I don't bring you in hell first and then hold it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
I don't know what you mean all I know is
underwater lapse in a pool. I'm good at.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Are you empty in that time? Or are you full
of breath?

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
Well? I let out about halfway.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
Okay, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
INFO. It might be good to clarify exactly what you're
drinking in your water. And the US Cordial is a
sweet fruit flavored alcohol that we clarified. It's fruit juice
concentrate like a soda syrup. Oh my god, it's not
even a juice.

Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
That sounds so horrible. Yeah, I don't like that we're
calling it a fruit juice. I'm sitting here being like,
why can't she have some lemon in her ice water?

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
It's not syrup, it's concentrated for juice that you redilute
with water. One to three is a high dilution radio,
but the recommended ratio is one to five. And she's
gone down to one to twenty. Okay, No, one to
four is recommended. Just said twenty eighty. She's gone down
to five ninety five, so that's like one to twenty okay,
so we're on a good path.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Yeah, she's doing well for.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
Me, though, I think that this is this was labeled.
Everyone sucks I think that's bonkers. I think I genuinely
believe that any loving partner would say like, hey, I
can't accept this. This is unacceptable with you. You are actively
harming yourself. Yeah, auntie, if you drinking pro juice with

(01:06:35):
My partner said he doesn't like. I thought this was
gonna be funny, but it turns out it was just
kind of weird. Girl needs her cordial.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
I think the situation in the whole episode, Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
No, the situation, But I don't know. I don't know
that she's an asshole. It sounds like she it sounds
like this is a serious issue, and honestly, the kind
of sounds like it's being handled. Well, maybe this is
the Shnah paradox, because I'm like, I don't feel like
she's an asshole. I don't feel like he's an.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
Ass No, I think she sounds like she's like shackled
by her own mind. Fair enough, it sounds like addiction, addiction,
notes of addiction. Even though it's not a substance.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
It is a substance.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
Add sugar. Oh yeah, you're so right, sugar addict. I
guess a mind altering substance.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
Sugar definitely one of those things.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
Right, a lawyer, how do you how would you word it?

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
I think she's a sugar addict.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
Okay, I don't know, but I guess I'm saying it's
not an narcotic.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
But well, sugar is one of those things where it's like, well,
it's not considered a drug, but like, I mean, it
definitely alters your mental state.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
Like alcohol is not considered a drug.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
Yeah, I mean, I think that's a joke. It is
a joke, clearly a drug. Yeah, it's you have a
drinking for juice on my partner, I said, he doesn't
like I think we're.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
At no assholes here, No assholes here.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
Oh, this has been really fun.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
It's been so fun.
