fentramine.

Girl.
I thought that I needed someprobiotics.
Yeah, because I was like youknow what that's gonna help like
, regulate everything and get melike nice and like cycled up
for palm springs.
So I got this huge jar ofgummies from costco gummy ones
just don't do it, you'resupposed to take two a day when
they're, like you know, full ofprobiotics.
(01:22):
So just make you like regularand less bloated and all the
good things.
So I started taking themimmediately.
I've been having the worst gasof my entire life.
That's what they do like.
I literally wake up in themiddle of the night because I
fart and it smells so bad.
I'm like what?
(01:43):
I'm like trying to only eatnuts and berries right now, so I
know it's not what I'm puttinginto my body.
And then I like finally madethe connection.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's definitely um the probiotics well, is there a
thing that, like you're kind ofalmost like we talked about with
acne, how they all the bad shitcomes to the top of the skin is
like all like the gassy shitjust getting out of your body
okay that's what I thought too,and I was like I'm gonna keep
like taking it for like a coupleweeks and make sure that like
it's not just uh, whateverthat's called purging.
(02:12):
You know you're purging so Idid.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
no, it just continued for like at least a week and a
half.
And then, when I was in umwalla walla this past weekend, I
was sleeping in a house with abunch of gay guys and I was like
a last addition to the house.
So I was sleeping on a fold outcouch pull out couch in the
living room and I was like Ican't be that gassy all night
(02:38):
long because someone's going towake up for breakfast and
they're going to be like Kyle.
Why does it smell like a deadcorpse in here?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Who do you think out of the group has the worst farts
other than you on the trip?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Who do you think would?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
stink the worst.
Loki I think it might be John.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay, what are we going to talk about with today's
episode?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, first off.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I feel like you just got back from austin city limits
right yeah okay, you got backfrom austin city limits and I
was gone for like 10 days.
Yeah, we haven't seen eachother for a while, so we got a
lot to catch up on and I want tostart with a hard-hitting
question for me okay did youmiss me, though still, this is
the longest we've gone withoutseeing or talking to each other
since we moved in you know what?
(03:25):
you did it no, uh, they saydistance makes the heart grow
fonder, and I believe thatthat's true.
What?
Yes, I could see that.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, I was like you know, I really, I really needed
to miss you I just want the fansto know that I was thinking
about actually I was mostly justthinking about you and how
appreciative you'd be.
I took notes every day, wow ofthis trip but, basically, I have
been saving a lot of thesestories for this recording.
I got back sunday night.
You picked me up, um, and Iwanted we needed to tie it into
(03:58):
a topic, yeah, and so it came tofruition talking about
friendships back home umnavigating friendships
navigating friendships.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So basically, what came to mind for me as a topic
was how do relationships evolveover time?
And like when you go back homeafter being I don't know leaving
for college, you come back homeand like friendship dynamics
have changed and people growapart, or that go grow together.
Um, and you know, people comeinto your life.
(04:28):
For what is it?
They?
say a season or a reason, or alifetime or something like that,
and I feel like when you havetaken time away from home and
you you go back, you get to kindof like re-, reevaluate, like
what those friendships look likenow and it sounds like maybe
you had some of thoseexperiences when you were back
(04:49):
home.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I did.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
In addition to like yeah, going to Austin city
limits and having a giggle time,yes, First off, the men in
Austin.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
The men in Austin they need to study it, because
I've never been in a city withthat many attractive humans.
Have you been to Chicago?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
No, I feel like maybe are boys from Chicago moving to
Austin.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Did you read an article?
The hottest guys in the world.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Well, not world, but hottest guys in America, I think
, live in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Really they're so hot , are they mentally well?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, because it snows and stuff there.
I know that's where they'removing.
Austin, that's my guess.
That's my hot take okay butalso like there's lots of hot
guys in, like dallas, you know,and I feel like there's just
like hot texas guys and you knowmy kink is homophobia.
So right, yeah, and especiallyinternalized truly take it out
(05:45):
on me, yeah and so.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
But the men there were hot, hot.
But before we get going Inoticed that this this morning I
still have this tan line fromthat shirt oh yeah, you were
wearing a mesh shirt and you gotlike sunburned, so yes, one of
the days fishnet tan.

the grid because the boys incollege there too, just jesus,
take the wheel oh.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
University of texas at austin.

I started like getting tearyeyed.
I was like, please just leaveme the fuck alone.
That's how I envision it.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Probably way this how I envision.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It are probably way more dramatic.
But then I have a screenshot ofa text message.

That's a direct quote .
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, that's a direct quote, so I want to see you put
that in action if someone'sgoing to harass you.

too.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Fair, you've almost done it up and you've been like,
no, put me down, don't drop me,don't drop me.
My issue is is I?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I'm gonna teach you some jabs and some punches

Speaker 1 (08:17):

Last message I want your ass, which you could
totally tell he used atranslator.
He speaks spanish, yeah.
So he wrote I want your assinto google translate.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And then it spit out that you could tell, because
there's like a space underneathit.
Oh my gosh, yo quiero to us sothen we're at the festival that
whenever I get this text messageand I was like I could, could
not remember what he looked like.
He sent me a photo, did notrespond, wait wait, wait no.
And then he invited me.
Then he invited me to like thisHalloween party.
(09:10):
Is that a coyote?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
ugly Isn't that what that's called?
Where you'd rather chew yourarm?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
off Good quote.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yes, bitch yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And I was just like my god and then?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
so then I didn't respond.
And then, what was his name?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I couldn't tell you oh, you didn't save it.
No, I just didn't have my nameat 2 11 am.
Okay, I mean, he responded thenext day, um, but he wasn't cute
.
And then he was glad you didn'tgo home with him well, yeah,
thankfully that man picked me up, made me cry, and I was just
over a minute at that point okay, got it so that's thursday.
So then friday's like first dayfestival.
We get there like maybe twoo'clock because I mainly went to
(09:51):
this festival just for a fewkey artists and I wasn't blowing
my load too early.
I've never gone to a three-dayfestival.
I don't know how people do it.
It's like a fucking marathon.
It really is um.
I saw katie pruitt.
She was good, don't know howyou say.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
You didn't blow your load too early and it's a
marathon, not a sprint, but youwere blackout, being lifted into
the air by a big guy, and textmessage from someone who doesn't
speak english on the firstnight and you don't remember his
name, that is, uh, literally asprint, not a marathon.
So just want to make sureyou're living, like you know, in
(10:28):
the delusion and I want to makesure you realize that.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
But if I kept telling myself that this is a slow pace
, I knew I could get through it.
It's like when you're hiking,you're like, okay, I'm halfway
done, I'm half of a halfway done, like, yeah, that's how my mind
is.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I'm, like day one, a quarter way done.
I can do this, I can relate, Iknow what you mean.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I got to see Dasha.
She sings the song Austin, doyour thing, did your truck break
?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
down.
Oh, I love that song.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
She's like Gretchen Wilson mixed with Renee Rapp or
someone like this.
Like 90s women kind of embracetheir real country aesthetic.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I definitely get that vibe from her.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
All the videos I've seen of her, she could not sing
Worth a Lick and she was goodReally.
Good, shockingly and there wasthis group of very hot men
overall, she like the like thehighlight of of a friday um no,
but the probably the highlightof the day was chris stapleton.
He was like the main closer forthe first night, yeah, and
solid.
He brought out willie nelson ohshit okay yes, and how is
(11:41):
willie doing?
Oh, not well, no, was he?
like smoking some gong Icouldn't tell, but he could
barely move around that stageand he was standing.
No, they sat him down, oh andokay I think he was ushered out
there by some nurses orsomething I couldn't tell, but
like he was hooked up, he lookedfrail, okay, really frail, and
you know I work in hospice, kindof like how you look after the
(12:03):
previous night?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
yeah, we're looking the same.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I'm like in a wheelchair me, him, or making
eye contact.
I'm like you're seeing.
Your heard your felt.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, I understand you, I'm a nurse, I get it, it's
like do you need your morphinedose?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
because baby?
He looked like he was like oneof my patients, but if not worse
.
Oh wow, couldn't even hear himcouldn't even play.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
he's not graduating from hospice.
No, okay, you're getting heldback a year.
Girl.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Okay, but that night I hooked up with this man.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Oh, beefy, yeah, Okay .
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Let me describe him.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
He's got like really big biceps, good chest, friendly
face.
He looks kind of like a Texan,yeah, like a little bit of like
a daddy vibes going on, yeah,but like young fit daddy, but
like picture that, but someonewho's insecure about their age,
because there's like this, likeEnergizer bunny, that.
(13:00):
I don't know.
Does that make sense?
Like he's trying to appearyounger than he actually is,
yeah, but like I don't want, I'ma cool dad.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, and I don't want you to be that.
I'm a cool zaddy Because I was,he kept like moving me around
so fast and swiftly.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What do you mean During sex?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, he's like, let's make out.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Turn around, suck, suck my dick, let me eat your
ass.
And then, like, just moving,like, like not even a full
minute had gone by.
Oh well, he was probably onlike a bunch of cocaine, no, are
you?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
sure, I looked at his eyes so he has more add than
you.
Yeah, wow, and then that's alot, as after we're finishing
he's telling me.
He's like oh yeah, just bequiet on the way out.
I don't want.
I was like I didn't know thatyou had people here, because I
was decently loud, probably Forthe six minutes that it lasted.
Yeah, if that yeah, imagine megetting two Ubers.
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Like I Ubered there and then Ubered back.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And then, like you know, like the awkward moment
where, like I'm waiting outsidebecause I just had ordered the
Uber, girl.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
It's like one of my worst.
My least favorite things iswaiting for the uber after
hookup.
It's like worse than the walkof shame.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Um, so then I go back home whatevs?
Clay's not there.
He goes to hook up with someoneone of my friends this is one
of your friends that you went toyeah, clay and chris and he
comes back the next morning andhe calms in bed uh, because
there's three of us, two beds,he.
So he gets in my bed and thenhe wakes up and he's like whose
phone is this?
And I was like I don't fuckingknow when did you get that phone
(14:29):
?
And he's like I think it was aguy I hooked up with and I was
like you stole his phone.
And he was like I didn't meanto it, just hit my pants.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And I'm like what do you mean?
One time time I was in vegasand I was making out with this
hot guy at this gay bar did hespeak english?
yes, okay and he was like, doyou want to go up to my room?
And he was like it lit or hewas staying in the same building
as the club.
So I told all my friends I wasgoing upstairs with this guy.
Okay, I didn't even think hewas that drunk.
(15:00):
But we get upstairs and westart making out.
I'm on top of him and he passedout while I'm making out with
him, like started snoring justlike.
And I was so mad because I waslike I literally just left all
my friends and a fun dance clubto come up here and fuck you and
(15:20):
you passed out.
So what did I do?
I I took $100 out of his walletand went back downstairs and
bought all my friends drinks.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Hey guys sorry, I was just trying to get us free
drinks.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I was like you know what?
That is fucked up.
That is fucked up.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I know, but you should not admit to thievery.
Okay, well, I did so, it's fine.
So Sunday was probably myfavorite day.
After this, we'll get to moreof like friendship talk.
I just have to like get allthis out.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, so the main reason why I went to this,
festival is Jess Glenn and ReneeRapp.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Jess Glenn, I cried the entire performance.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
When you said you cried so much, I figured it was
going to be at Jess Glenn.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Because she I think I've told you you I cry when I
laugh is my favorite album,probably of all times.
Yes, yeah, for backwards, Iknow every song on the album and
hearing it live, so good, so,so good and she looked
phenomenal.
She doesn't, she's not a dancer, she's just gonna go up there
and sing with her fucking vote.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh, yeah, she's a vocalist yeah, and it's just
she's saying all my faves,that's enough.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
She's saying all my faves.
Um, I got front row to queenherbie because everyone went to
chaparone and I avoided it likethe plague, just because I knew
I would.
We could hear it all the way onthe other side of the fucking
festival grounds.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, insane, she broke records both weekends
Right.
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And I think her outfit alluded to us wearing a
strap-on.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Ooh, I love that.
Yeah, kinky.
Anyway, that's a tangent yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
And, of course, as I would, as I love to do Made out
with a hot-ass man, hot.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Okay, do you have pictures of him?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Does he speak English ?
I couldn't tell you.
Does it feel like Spanish?
Couldn't tell you.
No.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Okay, I don't know, but I know what you're talking
about.
Some tongues are rougher thanothers.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I was talking more about the motion that it makes
the motion of the ocean.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Was he rolling his R's yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
it makes like the motion of the ocean.
Was he rolling?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
his r's yeah or no?
No, I don't, couldn't tell you.
Okay, couldn't tell you.
I was making eye contact withthe gogo boy, though.
Oh, he's definitely straight.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
But while you're making out with yeah, he was
giving me eyes.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Okay, actually, I do know who this guy is and he's
not near as hot.
He added me on instagram theguy you're making out with yeah,
that's sad okay so it wasn'tthat hot no, I just made this
lie up I guess, okay, so this iswhere it gets fun and juicy
okay so clay beats chris and Iback to the hotel and while we
are out, he is making out withthis other guy and clay clay is
(17:57):
yeah he's making out with thisother guy and we are friends
that are going to supportwhatever we're like.
You're into it?
Cool, great.
So they go back.
Chris and I, I think, get food,and that's why we're oh yeah,
because I'm standing thereeating a hot dog on the side of
it.
Oh, so good.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
So Clay is off to the hotel with the guy he's making
out with.
You and Chris are getting somestreet meat.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, and so then we come.
Then I'm like, oh, they're notback yet, so I go to go into the
bathroom.
Oh, they're getting out of theshower.
They're naked.
I'm like, oh, close the door.
I'm like, chris, we're gonnahave a picnic outside.

like I'm like, okay, slay.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
All right, that's nicer than I would be, that's
fine.
Good morning I took morning.
I took a hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Good morning starshine.
How are?
We yeah the sun's out, get,yeah, you need to leave so I can
go to bed, yeah, and so then wewait miserable.
We have to get on a fuckingplane.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Oh yeah, barely got any sleep so in a knoxville,
everyone, all three of you, aregoing back to knoxville yeah,
all all in the same plane.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Okay, ultimately, I went home for my brother's
wedding is why I went home, andthen it just coincided.
I forgot that it was for yourbrother yeah, my younger
brother's wedding okay he'sgetting married to a woman yeah,
okay, I'm the only guy in thefamily okay, her name is taylor
and they've been together forgood question how long?
I don't know okay, a few years,at least you knew her name.
(21:23):
That's good.
A few years, yeah, a few years.
At least you knew her name,that's good.
A few years, yeah, a few years.
But what's so interesting andfun to think about?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
is it was like a honky tonk kind of wedding.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
No, no, no, formal white dress yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Black suit.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, they do have honky tonk.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I've gone to honky tonk weddings like they're
wearing jeans yeah, and liketennessee.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Vol colors yeah, like orange and white, yeah.
Um, how many people were there?
Oh, probably like 100.
Oh, my god, the t while we wereat the wedding.
So there was like a parking lotand then there was like people
had to park on the other side ofthe fence near the highway.
Someone had came and brokenjust so many cars and stole
their pocketbooks and phonesbroken what At the wedding yeah?
It's a loose term, because allthe cars were unlocked.
(22:08):
And I learned in Seattle, baby,you don't leave anything in
sight.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, you're still dealing with insurance problems
because of your brain change.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, I shouldn't give anyone advice and me over
here judging people.
How could you do that?
Meanwhile, they didn't havefour busted windows.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
You know, if you had not locked your car, you
wouldn't have had so many brokenwindows.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I did stop locking it when I lived in the city
because of those.
It just took me a long time tofigure it out In.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
San Francisco.
That's what they do.
People write notes saying it'sunlocked, take anything you want
, because they'd rather not havetheir car broken into.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah, but here they don't even steal anything.
They do it.
Yeah, piss me off, yeah.
And then like these two, likeI'm going out to grab my vape,
obviously, and these two girlsare like we're like what are we
gonna do?
I'm like you should probably gotell someone like their cars
were broken.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, like windows are broken.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
No, like they they notice their phone in their wall
who leaves?
Their phone in their pocketbookin a car I don't know, that's
weird um, so anyway, that's notthe actual wedding part that I
want to get to, because I dohave something to say about a
girl who I invited.
Okay, um, my best friend.
I've talked to you about her.
I'm not going to say her nameand read her for filth.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Okay, so this is now Sunday.
This is now Saturday.
This is now Saturday, thewedding day.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I offered to hang out with her Thursday.
She said she couldn't becauseshe had a lot of work.
And then she texted me saturdaymorning saying she couldn't
come to the wedding and she went.
She was supposed to be yourplus one yeah, and she was my
plus one to my sister's weddingif she couldn't come, who would
you have invited instead?
No one because, like, she'slike the kind of friend, like
(23:39):
she enjoys like those types ofmoments and like and she's's
like knows your family.
She's met them multiple times.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, she's met them on Facebook.
Yeah, how long have you knownher?
How long have you been?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Five years.
When did you guys meet?
Five years ago, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
And and she's the one who's five years ago, so I was
21 when you were 21.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah okay, it's a big year for elmo yeah became a
nurse got a friend who's reallybig.
Um yeah, so I met her throughplaying softball.
I got invited to go to theworld series shortly after going
and I go with my friends jamieand tony.
She was their roommate.
She was like who the fuck isthis little twinkie boy coming
with us?
(24:22):
and then we fell in love okayand so did you bond over I don't
know like we, just you'rekicking kicking like, like we're
besties, but like I think she'salways wanted a child and like
I kind of like it was kind ofplayed into like the like wisdom
, like not really mother, son,but kind of like that.
Is she older than you?
Yeah, oh, I forget, I have tosay these things.
(24:44):
Yeah, she's 50.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
She's much older than you.
Okay, got it.
I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, and so she obviously gives a lot of life
advice, wisdom, but she canoutdrink the best of them.
Again, the stories I could tellyou about this woman fine,
chaotic, um, but like we I washer mammals hospice nurse, like
we've just gone through a lottogether.
Yeah, um, all of covid, westayed together non-stop and
(25:11):
I've talked to you about herbefore, about, remember.
You were like what have youtold her what you need?
Um, so then she texted me thatI just liked it, didn't respond
because she was like yeah, shewas like hey, I have a migraine.
I'm probably.
I'll let you know a little bitlater if I'm gonna be able to
come.
I just liked it and I knew shewasn't coming, but she didn't
tell me that until like 5pm likeyou, gave it a thumbs up and it
(25:35):
really upset me because I am intown.
I am in town, she's your plusone for the wedding.
I'm in town.
You already turned me down onenight and then Saturday the
wedding turned me down.
So I was like really about her.
But I finally called her todaybecause we were recording this.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
So I called her on my way home.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And I knew she felt bad, bad, but she chose not to
acknowledge it and it kind ofjust let me yeah I did.
I said I'm really sad I didn'tget to see you when I was in
town her statement was thatmigraine of mine?
it lasted until this, and thenshe starts talking about all the
things going on in her life,and this is why I wanted to talk
(26:20):
about this whole navigatingfriendship thing yeah and we
have the we I thought had thekind of friendship like and we
still do, like where we could,you could pick it up and put it
down, but like it doesn't reallyget picked up much anymore.
I think there's a part, and Iit almost turned into like
journaling, because I reallywanted to like think about how
(26:43):
this experience was different,going home, than all the other
ones.
Because I remember let me putinto perspective so when I first
started travel nursing, I wouldgo home and people were like,
oh my god, we missed you andlike everyone would want to like
hang out.
We'd, everyone would make suchan effort, we'd go, do things
and I would come home morefrequently.
And then I'd come home and feelkind of disconnected from
(27:07):
everyone and people's effortdecreased.
And I took it personally a lot,even in April when I went home,
even like in april when I wenthome, and I think this trip was
(27:27):
different because I spent moretime with my family than I did
with friends.
So a lot of my friends were atthe world series for softball,
um, and I just appreciated likegetting to almost like come into
their world and it's not myworld anymore, you know like I'm
coming in to your life, intoyour city and getting to
experience how you've changedand grown and, like I'm not,
(27:50):
still holding on to what ourrelationship was right you know,
three years ago you're excitedto see how it's changed, if
anything and I didn't realizethat until after I got back.
Sorry, I didn't realize thatuntil after I got back from the
trip.
And that's this is the premiseof why the whole episode I
(28:12):
wanted to share.
I wanted to gossip, share thetea, but yeah, it's really tough
to navigate that, especiallybecause it's not conversations
you want to have, as you'rehaving those feelings Like,
right oh, I'm not feelingconnected to you when I'm coming
in.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I'm not doing like but if you're saying like that
you're showing up with the hopethat you get to experience
people in a new way and thatthere's really no pressure to
like show up and expecteverything to be the same, then
(28:51):
why are you feeling the way thatyou're feeling about your
relationship with this friendnot showing up in a way that you
expected them to show up?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
That's a good question.
I think that I'm allowingmyself to.
I'm I think in my brain I'mgiving other people permission,
but I'm still holding her to thesame standard.
Right, and that's not fair.
But Something about thatrelationship, though, like it's
(29:25):
really special because itreflects my mind and my mom's
relationship.
Yeah, because I went.
I was told her that I learnedthat in therapy, uh-huh, but I
don't know.
It's a good question.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I'll have to ponder that well, or you can just ask
her and you said you talked toher and she didn't bring
anything up, but you could be,you know, you can just ask her.
Be like, hey, so is ourrelationship different?
Because it felt like it wasdifferent when we, you know,
when I was back home and Ithought that we were going to be
able to like reconnect, and Ifelt like we didn't, and that's
(30:02):
upsetting for me, because I feltlike we didn't and that's
upsetting for me because I feltlike we could step back into
where we were, but like you know, is that how you feel is?
is that how is that how you areperceiving things, or you know?
Is there anything that you wantto address or bring up, or are
you ready to just move on?
Speaker 2 (30:19):
that's a good.
I like that because, you know,I, whenever I like the way my
brain works and the words I wantto use, tend to be a little bit
more pointed and aggressive,uh-huh.
And so if I don't feel like Ican speak as gracefully as I
want, I just won't say it right,because I can come across kind
of bitchy.
Yeah, why the fuck didn't yousee me bitch?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, you know.
My first thought is do you knowthis like weird fact that guys
think about the Roman Empirelike multiple times a day or
something weird?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
like that yes.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Supposedly.
I mean like I'm a guy, I guess,but I'm non-binary so it
doesn't really come up that muchin my mind.
So it doesn't really come upthat much in my mind.
Um, okay, but do you know whatit is for girls like things that
pop into their brain multipletimes a day, like the roman
empire does for guys?
salty, sweet snacks no okay,it's their ex-best friend.
Their ex-best friend pops intotheir head multiple times a day.
(31:16):
That's so me, right I?
That's why I'm bringing it up,like you.
Like that is your Roman empire.
This person is your fuckingRoman empire.
And I bring it up because, um,my best friend from high school.
We were so close throughouthigh school, throughout college.
(31:37):
She was like the first personto visit me at college, like
during orientation.
I would go visit her all thetime in Santa Barbara while I
was living in Malibu, and wewould like fly back and forth to
you know, back home, and wewould talk on the phone every
(31:57):
single day.
And just two years ago, we tooka trip to barcelona to go to a
music festival for the cheetahgirls, the cheetah girls, were
not there.
No, oh, but yes, we did go tobarcelona and we did go to the
(32:18):
Gaudi Park.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Where they recorded the music video.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, and some shit went down at the music festival.
We have not talked since.
I mean, I have apologizedprofusely, even though I don't
really feel like I did anythingwrong, because you like Dua Lipa
, just say that, yeah, yeah, andshe has said that she's
accepted my apology, but she'salso I've.
(32:42):
I've reached out to hermultiple times.
She ignores everything and allof a sudden it's like we went
from best friends for the lastlike decade plus to not talking
at all, and I don't know, likewhat to do or how to act or how
to feel about it honestly, butat the end of the day it just
(33:03):
comes up like it pops into mybrain all the time and what's
her life like?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
and yeah, that's tough, though.
No, because there is a morningthat comes along with, yeah,
like it's people that, likeyou're like inseparable, and
then, like it's always, it seemslike it's over something stupid
, a lot of the times, right likereflecting back on it, but then
it just like so much timepasses that you're just like, oh
, I can't give it the energy.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Yeah, so what can you take from that story to apply
to yours?
Speaker 2 (33:34):
honestly, it makes me reflect on like okay, I want.
If you're not gonna match myenergy, I'm like I'm also.
No, that's probably the wronganswer, because part of me just
wants to be like, okay, I'm justgoing to match your energy and
slowly fade away.
But that's not fair.
Should I say something?
Well, is it?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
worth it to you?
Is it worth having thatconversation over it?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
always just depends, because if it's a negative
outcome, I think it's havingthat conversation, it's always.
It always just depends, becauseif it's a negative outcome, I
think it's going to make itworse and make my experience,
though, then it's gonna make myexperience.
I'd much rather just like usnaturally gravitate away than
for me you're afraid of having ahard conversation not that,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah no.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
It's always better to have the conversation.
It's always better to have theconversation than to not have
that conversation and to thinkin your head for the next 100
years you know, until you diewhat it would have been like if
you had had that conversationwith your friend.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, and she's the kind of person I've had tough
conversations with, but, as ourmost recent duo guest said, the
times you don't want to have aconversation are the times you
should, and I thought I wasgoing to do that today, but then
, like I just got, I felt morehurt.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I thought that that's where the story was going.
I felt more hurt.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
That's where I felt more hurt whenever she tried to
like, shift it away from likewhat I was trying to acknowledge
and that in that moment I waslike, oh, I'm not comfortable
with discussing this as much asI thought I was right because I
thought she'd be like, oh yeah,like that was really sucked, I'm
sorry, didn't even acknowledgeit, didn't even ask about it,
(35:18):
didn't even did you get home,like she's like.
But no, she did say I did trackyou because she has my location
to make sure you get home safeand randomly she'll just like.
When we were camping, she waslike are you okay?
You're in the middle of thewoods.
Like she checks on me Maybe sheother fair, because we do come
(35:42):
from different generations andlike things.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
I think you need to tell her I did, but that was a
couple years ago when I firstmoved here, so that's fair
that's fair, but um I peoplecan't show up for you unless you
tell them how you need them toshow up for you or you've told
me the same exact thing abouther too before.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Yeah, and maybe it's it's my ear, you know I can't
hear right so it just went inone ear, out the other.
It's selective, but I anotherreflection thing that I was
talking about that so correlatesis I didn't see as many friends
this time, um, but I spent moretime with family and the
friends I did see.
I spent more time individuallywith them, like Clay and Chris.
(36:23):
obviously I saw a lot and I feltmore connected to everyone and,
like I shared earlier, like Ifelt like I was coming into
their world and it's almost likea quality over quantity yeah
well, like a parent, like intheir kid goes off to college
and then they come back and theykeep holding them to the same
18 year old that left to go tocollege right, like they want to
(36:43):
put you in this box and likehow I always complain, like
everyone back home always keptputting me in this box and like
for a long time I was mourningthat everyone had changed so
much but then this trip, notintentionally, like I only
realized it reflecting on it.
Everyone has changed so much andit's so wonderful to just get
(37:08):
to be like a visitor in theirworld.
Yeah, and you've changed tooRight, and I knew that I had,
but I never even let myselfthink that they had Right.
And like my sister has her ownfamily, like my brother has his
own family, yeah, like my oldbrother also has family with
kids, and like my parents areenjoying their life, and like
(37:29):
all of these things arehappening without me being the
center of attention which is newfor me, but this was the first
time I didn't like.
I felt sadness.
Sometimes I was like, oh, Ishould be doing more, but I was
like, but each time that I wasseeing people it was so like I
don't know, felt my cup up morethan, like you said, quantity.
(37:50):
Yeah, chef's kiss I love that.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
That's good, that's growth.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Yeah, okay, and I got my rat tail back.
Yeah, I'm not even going to usethat as a victory.
Ew, you refuse to touch it.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Ew, yeah, but we should get into our victory
vices.
I'm so glad to hear that youhad such a fun trip, despite
maybe losing a really goodfriend.
But you had some crazyadventures and I think it's
always fun to like come backfrom a trip and be like, yeah,
that shit was fucking crazy andyeah, I did some of it just for
(38:23):
the plot period okay, victoryand vice.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Let's do this do you want me to go or do you want to
go?
Speaker 1 (38:30):
I'll go first, because you've talked for like
the whole I know and youprobably made no sense.
Go ahead.
Yeah, I'll cut most of itliterally.
It's three minutes, it's justyour clips.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Don't be so funny.
If one time you editedsomething, you're like oh, the
edits up on the drive, it's just, it's just me.
Yeah, caleb, you're fuckingdumb, yeah for three minutes.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Okay, my victory of the week is I just decided to
take off yesterday from work andI told my boss I was like it is
one of the last like reallynice sunny days in the fall
before.
It's just like overcast andrainy and cold and, you know,
snow's going to start falling.
In the past and I like havereally wanted to go see these
(39:13):
fucking large trees which arelike pine trees that turn bright
yellow in the fall and they'relike all these hikes you can go
on, and so I've researched abunch of them and I've like put
together a couple like groups tolike go do these.
Like this larch hike, and it'sfallen through again and again
and, um, like one time it fellthrough because someone had gone
(39:38):
on the same hike that I hadplanned and there were no, like
they hadn't changed colors yet.
So I was like, well, fuck that,skip, skip it, we'll do it like
a month later, then anothertime, uh, and then the traffic
oh yeah, the traffic, oh yes,exactly so there were like
traffic issues, blah, blah blah.
So for one reason or another,this thing just hasn't happened.
(40:01):
So I was like you know what?
It's the last sunny day beforeall the rain like hits Seattle.
I'm going to drive three hourson a Tuesday out to Leavenworth.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
What?
Yeah, I didn't know.
It was that far I woke up at730 in the morning.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I didn't wonder why was that far?
I woke up at 7 30 in themorning.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
I didn't wonder why you packed my bag.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yeah, and I drove out there by myself to lake cool
chuck and it's like a nine milehike round trip and I just did
it by myself and girl it's likea almost 3 000 foot elevation
gain.
Some of it is like rock climbing.
There's like crossing riversand streams, parts like where
(40:42):
you just like can't really tellwhere the trail like is going
because of like the rocks andshit and branches that are in
the way.
It's like not that wellmaintained.
So I definitely had like acouple like moments of panic
where I was like, am I going inthe right direction?
I don't know.
So by the time I get to the topI'm so exhausted, my legs are
(41:09):
so tired, I'm so sore, I'm sohungry, I'm so thirsty and I'm
so fucking thankful that Ididn't get lost, that I made it
to the top and I feel soaccomplished and the lake is so
gorgeous.
The one downside was there werelike almost no larch trees.
I was like, fuck you, youstupid fucking larch trees.
(41:30):
There were plenty, like down bythe fucking parking lot.
I didn't even need to go onlike this hike, but the lake was
stunning.
Your eyes look great, thank you.
The color of the lake, um.
So anyways, that's my victory,because I did this really hard
(41:50):
hike um and got to see a lakethat I had wanted to see for a
long time.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
A couple arches, but you know, not quite the stunning
yellow that I was expecting onthis trip and um yeah, that's so
infamously unwell of you I know, fucking hell, because you're
like wow, because it's actuallyreally cool to hear you say all
of this, because I'm like you'rea bad bitch yeah, go ahead, pop
up and then of course I did thelorax came and stole the
(42:20):
fucking larch.
Yeah, what the fuck.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Um, I did get lost on the way back down, which you
think, after you like hike upthe mountain, that going back
down it would be like mucheasier.
Like you know, it's just rightback down the same way.
You came.
Well, I don't know how, butthis trail like split and I
couldn't.
I didn't know which way to goand somehow, um, towards the
(42:45):
very end of the hike, I had tolike cross a river and I was
like I know I didn't cross theriver, coming up the hill like
neck deep in water, so I waslike how did I get here?
like how did I get on the otherside of the river?
It doesn't make any sense.
So, anyways, I had to like jumpacross a couple stones, which I
thought I was going to bereally graceful, graceful doing,
(43:07):
but, um, one of my uh feetended up in the water, so I had
like a soggy shoe for the lastlike I don't know half a mile,
which honestly wasn't that badbut that sensation, I hate that
sensation.
I know it goes between yourtootsies, yeah, and I have
waterproof shoes, so they likejust sit inside they weren't
(43:27):
very waterproof?
yeah well, yeah, not when yourfoot goes entirely under the
water.
Uh, water resistant.
But I also um went immediatelyfrom hiking this 10 mile hike to
my sommelier training class.
So I like wasn't sure I wasgoing to have enough time to
even like make it.
(43:47):
I wanted to stop at Leavenworthto grab a beer first, but then
I, like Google, mapped it once Igot back down to my car and I
was like, no shit, you got to goright now.
Once I got back down to my carand I was like, no shit, you
gotta go right now.
And so I went back um and didmy sommelier training class
sweaty as fuck, with no newdeodorant or you know any
cleaning products and a soggyshoe was this three mile, three
(44:08):
hours, one way yeah, yeah, itwas two hours back to Issaquah
where I did my uh sommelierclass, but and how many hours
did it take you to this hike?
for uh three and a half roundtrip.
Yeah, god, so like nine and ahalf.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Well, thank god, you were looking forward to that
class, because there's not alifetime I would show.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
I know I was like I just wanted to get a beer, so
bad.
And then I was like, wait, Iget to go drink a bunch of wine.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
That's so fun I was talking oh, I think it was to
Tristan about how excited I amfor you to do this and for you
to teach me more things aboutwine.
I'm happy to.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
I'm sitting on a peak pool right now.
Peak pool is like a whitevarietal from the south of
France.
It's actually from this littlegrowing region called Penay.
It's called a peak pool dePenay, but unless growing region
called Pinay, it's called apeak pool day Pinay, but unless
you grow it in Pinay, you can'teven like spell it the right the
(45:07):
same way.
So okay, so my vice of the weekis that I went to Walla Walla
and it was freaking amazing,like I wasn't expecting it to be
.
It was freaking amazing Like Iwasn't expecting it to be
amazing because I'm from Sonomaand Napa and they have really
great wines there.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Oh, I didn't even know what's there.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
So it's like a wine.
It's a wine region.
Yeah, it's where all the winein Washington basically is grown
is in Walla Walla.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
So it's like it's four hours inland, or yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
East East.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Yeah, and there were some really shitty wines, I will
say that, but I would haveloved them.
There were some really greatones too, and I got to give a
shout out to Alton Wines.
Alton Winery it's a husband andwife team that sold their like
house in seattle during thepandemic.
(45:59):
She works for nordstrom stilland I'm a nordstrom girly um, so
born again and she did our winetasting and the husband now
makes the wine and he is makingjust like gorgeous, elegant
wines and she is curating thisamazing like customer experience
.
They spent like millions ofdollars on this property and
(46:25):
building where the tasting roomis.
I also was there with anarchitect who knows the
architect that built the winery,and so he was giving us all the
insights on, like, what ittakes to build something of this
kind of grandeur, and so,between the winery, the tasting,
(46:47):
with the owner, who's fromnordstrom, and the wines being
spectacular, I was just blownaway.
So interesting vice.
just wait okay everyone'sthinking and my vice is that I
spent way too much money thereon wine.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah, how many bottles did you buy?
Speaker 1 (47:04):
I only bought six bottles, but yeah, they didn't
have a box.
No, they didn't have a box.
I do like that you upgraded tothe black bottle box.
What's it called black box?
Black box, I know, but it's somuch less wine, oh well, it's
better.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Oh, yeah, than your fucking friends.
Yeah yeah, my taste buds arechanging.
Keep going.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (47:27):
Your vice is a lot of times spending money.
It really is.
I know it's a problem it to notwork period.
Okay, slay your turn.
Yay, I'm gonna start with uh,my vice um, not taking a day off
(47:48):
between um traveling and goingback to work.
I landed sunday night here like11 or something I didn't go to,
or 11 30 finally, by the time Igot to the car, I felt really
bad.
It's always hard to time herebecause you could taxi for a
while because I felt bad, youhad to wait.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Well, you were stuck.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
And I think I went to bed at like 1 am after a
three-hour time zone change.
After driving to Atlantagetting stuck in traffic because
it saves like a few hundreddollars Like I think this time
it sent me like $400 not flyingthe 45-minute flight from
Knoxville to Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Yeah, but then you're stuck in traffic for five hours
and my time's worth more thanthat.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Exactly.
Yeah, that was not very smartfor me to do that and I regret
it, and I wanted to call in sodamn badly.
This is your vice.
Yeah, still all my vice.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
And I did look at some of my work messages while I
was gone and that didn't set meup for success either.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
That didn't set me up for success.
My favorite nurse is quitting.
I want to say my victory afterI, because I already talked a
lot about my trip.
I did have a come to Jesusmoment in my brain that I wrote
down earlier.
But I think and I even textedyou and you asked me if I was
high or if I was something I wasjust really appreciative of our
(49:05):
experience at the Kygo concert.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
And I only went.
But I initially only boughttickets for Zara Larson, which
she was great, she was fab.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
For you and someone else too, not even me.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Yeah, I was, which she was great.
She was fab for you and someoneelse too.
Not even yeah, like just, I waslike, oh, someone's probably
gonna want to go, like I got agood deal, I'm just gonna go and
get to because it I thought itwould be something that I was
like I can find someone for.
Yeah, but I enjoyed it so muchwe had a ball.
Yeah, we did and I did.
It was like my first kind ofravey type, whatever experience
with the little seedlings.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
We had a grand old time yeah, and just like really
great like stage pyrotechnicsand stage production and I've
never gone to like a dj set andlike, oh my god, this is great,
or like yeah but, and it'sfucking kygo, I mean, it's hit
after hit after hit.
Higher love, oh oh, one of myfavorites.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
It's so good.
Yeah, but my and we don't haveto share all the details on it,
but my favorite moment was atthe very end, yeah, and I was
trying to leave after HigherLove and you were like no, we
need to stay.
Is it called Freeze?
The last song is called Freeze.
And you're like, no, we have tostay.
And I'm freeze.
(50:19):
And you're like, no, we have tostay.
And I'm like, okay, I do haveto.
I might piss my pants, but okay, yeah, and I'm like okay this
is a vibey song.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
And then, like I came up to you and I was like the
reason I want to stay for thisis because this song means a lot
to me, because it's a song thatmy ex would play all the time,
and when we were like goingthrough our hardest like parts
of our breakup, I would justlike think to myself like it
(50:44):
would be so great if we couldjust like hit the like freeze
button on our relationship andjust like stop it in its tracks
and like, because I could see itprogressing down this like path
of like not going in a gooddirection and, like you know,
towards breakup, and I justwanted to like freeze it to
freeze, and so that's why I waslike I'm just gonna share that
(51:06):
with you, not thinking that itwas gonna be like super
emotional, but then it was andso you were behind me, we were
like hugging and just likeenjoying the moment, and you had
a a big, emotional connection.
Speaker 2 (51:25):
Yeah, I'll say to the song, because I could feel you
like just really breathing andlike they were.
Yeah, the tears were kind oflike did drop did they drop on
you?
Speaker 1 (51:37):
yeah, and and then like you were sobbing.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Okay, no, like I'm not being dramatic and I'm not
trying to like no, no no, don'ttake it.
I just wouldn't categorize it assobbing, but I say feel like
yeah yeah, that's sobbing, butlike I don't do it to patronize
you patronize you.
I don't feel like that.
I just appreciated that we gotto experience that together and
(52:03):
that you were like.
This means a lot to me.
We were doing it together andyou just felt comfortable enough
to do that, because I wouldn'tdo that with a lot of people
that I would go to a concertwith.
So it just was that, and thenwe just had a playful, fun time
yeah, we got to go down thatrandom ass entrance.
(52:25):
Do you not remember whathappened afterwards?
Speaker 1 (52:26):
what, oh, the pissing and the porsche?
Wait, we have to include that,no, oh my god, I'm not very
proud of that.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
I'm telling them.
Speaker 1 (52:35):
So um imagine before you, before you get there.
There was also this girl, whenthe lights came on after freeze,
who was like, also sobbing.
I would say she was sobbing.
I had like a couple glisteningtears and, you know, a couple
catch my breath moments.
Meanwhile I'm under the hairdryer it's like, oh my god, did
(52:55):
I have sea salt spray and I justlike turned to this girl and I
was like, really, they have toturn the lights on right right
now, like while we're crying,like you can't just like wait a
couple seconds so like we canstop crying.
And she made her like laugh.
And then that made me laugh andso, you know, we got to like I
feel like other people werecrying.
That's the moral of the story.
Speaker 2 (53:14):
Well, it's it was the perfect ending because it they
took us on an emotional.
I just did not expect, yeah, adj to be able.
It just was wonderful, yeah,curated, crafted so well, yeah.
And after the lights came on,we're like, oh my god, the
line's so long we're not waitingfor the bathroom no.
So we, like, are going.
It's just so funny because Imade a comment like what do
(53:37):
people come up here?
Um, so we found this parkinglot and I'm like let's go to the
very back corner.
We're just gonna pee.
We're at mid piss.
There's a car between us.
We're peeing on the groundbecause we're not that kind of
friends, we're not looking ateach other piss, I tell you.
I see people walking up.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
I'm like k Kyle, Kyle , kyle, kyle, kyle I said stop
peeing, stop peeing.
Speaker 2 (53:59):
I zip up and then like we start like walking, and
they could tell what we weredoing.
And he was like did you justpiss on my fucking car?
I was like no, you're beingdramatic, we are just pissing by
your car, yeah, and then thewoman stops us again.
You pissed on the fucking carand I'm like just say you don't
(54:20):
have money if you're thatconcerned.
Speaker 1 (54:21):
Right, just go get it washed, if you're really that
concerned.
Speaker 2 (54:24):

Okay, what should I do?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I have some ventramine what's that?
That's a weight loss supplement.
It's like Adderall, but not.
It makes you not eat.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
You already have Adderall.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I know, but it takes away your appetite, but it
doesn't necessarily mentally getyou.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
So you're saying I should take some of your
fentramine.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Fentermine.
That's what I said.
Yeah, I got it from Mexico.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I don't know if that's allowed to be on the
internet.
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
What's a healthier way to do it Like because?
I still want to eat.
What I've been doing is justeating trail mix.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Like a fucking.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I just feel like that's all I've been eating your
gerbil Trail mix and peanutbutter pretzels Probably.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Maybe like lettuce wraps you have that lettuce up
yonder.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Okay, I love how you're coming to me for healthy
eating advice.
I also like need to get my likebowels on the regular, you know
.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
You ever feel like really bloated.
You're just like.
I know there's poo in there.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Girl.
I thought that I needed someprobiotics.
Yeah, because I was like youknow what that's gonna help like
, regulate everything and get melike nice and like cycled up
for palm springs.
So I got this huge jar ofgummies from costco gummy ones
just don't do it, you'resupposed to take two a day when
they're, like you know, full ofprobiotics.
(01:22):
So just make you like regularand less bloated and all the
good things.
So I started taking themimmediately.
I've been having the worst gasof my entire life.
That's what they do like.
I literally wake up in themiddle of the night because I
fart and it smells so bad.
I'm like what?
(01:43):
I'm like trying to only eatnuts and berries right now, so I
know it's not what I'm puttinginto my body.
And then I like finally madethe connection.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's definitely um the probiotics well, is there a
thing that, like you're kind ofalmost like we talked about with
acne, how they all the bad shitcomes to the top of the skin is
like all like the gassy shitjust getting out of your body
okay that's what I thought too,and I was like I'm gonna keep
like taking it for like a coupleweeks and make sure that like
it's not just uh, whateverthat's called purging.
(02:12):
You know you're purging so Idid.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
no, it just continued for like at least a week and a
half.
And then, when I was in umwalla walla this past weekend, I
was sleeping in a house with abunch of gay guys and I was like
a last addition to the house.
So I was sleeping on a fold outcouch pull out couch in the
living room and I was like Ican't be that gassy all night
(02:38):
long because someone's going towake up for breakfast and
they're going to be like Kyle.
Why does it smell like a deadcorpse in here?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Who do you think out of the group has the worst farts
other than you on the trip?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Who do you think would?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
stink the worst.
Loki I think it might be John.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay, what are we going to talk about with today's
episode?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, first off.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I feel like you just got back from austin city limits
right yeah okay, you got backfrom austin city limits and I
was gone for like 10 days.
Yeah, we haven't seen eachother for a while, so we got a
lot to catch up on and I want tostart with a hard-hitting
question for me okay did youmiss me, though still, this is
the longest we've gone withoutseeing or talking to each other
since we moved in you know what?
(03:25):
you did it no, uh, they saydistance makes the heart grow
fonder, and I believe thatthat's true.
What?
Yes, I could see that.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, I was like you know, I really, I really needed
to miss you I just want the fansto know that I was thinking
about actually I was mostly justthinking about you and how
appreciative you'd be.
I took notes every day, wow ofthis trip but, basically, I have
been saving a lot of thesestories for this recording.
I got back sunday night.
You picked me up, um, and Iwanted we needed to tie it into
(03:58):
a topic, yeah, and so it came tofruition talking about
friendships back home umnavigating friendships
navigating friendships.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So basically, what came to mind for me as a topic
was how do relationships evolveover time?
And like when you go back homeafter being I don't know leaving
for college, you come back homeand like friendship dynamics
have changed and people growapart, or that go grow together.
Um, and you know, people comeinto your life.
(04:28):
For what is it?
They?
say a season or a reason, or alifetime or something like that,
and I feel like when you havetaken time away from home and
you you go back, you get to kindof like re-, reevaluate, like
what those friendships look likenow and it sounds like maybe
you had some of thoseexperiences when you were back
(04:49):
home.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I did.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
In addition to like yeah, going to Austin city
limits and having a giggle time,yes, First off, the men in
Austin.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
The men in Austin they need to study it, because
I've never been in a city withthat many attractive humans.
Have you been to Chicago?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
No, I feel like maybe are boys from Chicago moving to
Austin.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Did you read an article?
The hottest guys in the world.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Well, not world, but hottest guys in America, I think
, live in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Really they're so hot , are they mentally well?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, because it snows and stuff there.
I know that's where they'removing.
Austin, that's my guess.
That's my hot take okay butalso like there's lots of hot
guys in, like dallas, you know,and I feel like there's just
like hot texas guys and you knowmy kink is homophobia.
So right, yeah, and especiallyinternalized truly take it out
(05:45):
on me, yeah and so.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
But the men there were hot, hot.
But before we get going Inoticed that this this morning I
still have this tan line fromthat shirt oh yeah, you were
wearing a mesh shirt and you gotlike sunburned, so yes, one of
the days fishnet tan.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
yes, okay, so, yes, okay.
So tell me about ACL.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Okay, I wanted to go chronologically Okay.
So Thursday I leave here.
Thursday land in Austin, getthere.
Like an hour or two after myfriends get there we go to
dinner with one of their auntsor uncles that moved there.
It was fine.
I was overstimulated as fuck,exhausted, time change,
(06:26):
miserable.
But that was fine.
We went around like the campusand of course you know I was on
the grid because the boys incollege there too, just jesus,
take the wheel oh.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
University of texas at austin.
Yeah, is that the only one uh,good, cute, cute.

Oh, it was called Rain, andthis big man picked me up and
would not put me down, Like ofcourse I was drunk.
I started like getting tearyeyed.
I was like, please just leaveme the fuck alone.
That's how I envision it.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Probably way this how I envision.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It are probably way more dramatic.
But then I have a screenshot ofa text message.
Why didn't?
Speaker 1 (07:32):

Yeah, that's a direct quote, so I want to see you put
that in action if someone'sgoing to harass you.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Fair, you've almost done it up and you've been like,
no, put me down, don't drop me,don't drop me.
My issue is is I?
Speaker 1 (08:07):

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I'm gonna teach you some jabs and some punches
actually I think I could see redand like, like, just go angry

Speaker 1 (08:17):

I had texted him, caleb, with aK.
His response Okay.

talk to you.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Last message I want your ass, which you could
totally tell he used atranslator.
He speaks spanish, yeah.
So he wrote I want your assinto google translate.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And then it spit out that you could tell, because
there's like a space underneathit.
Oh my gosh, yo quiero to us sothen we're at the festival that
whenever I get this text messageand I was like I could, could
not remember what he looked like.
He sent me a photo, did notrespond, wait wait, wait no.
And then he invited me.
Then he invited me to like thisHalloween party.
(09:10):
Is that a coyote?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
ugly Isn't that what that's called?
Where you'd rather chew yourarm?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
off Good quote.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yes, bitch yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And I was just like my god and then?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
so then I didn't respond.
And then, what was his name?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I couldn't tell you oh, you didn't save it.
No, I just didn't have my nameat 2 11 am.
Okay, I mean, he responded thenext day, um, but he wasn't cute
.
And then he was glad you didn'tgo home with him well, yeah,
thankfully that man picked me up, made me cry, and I was just
over a minute at that point okay, got it so that's thursday.
So then friday's like first dayfestival.
We get there like maybe twoo'clock because I mainly went to
(09:51):
this festival just for a fewkey artists and I wasn't blowing
my load too early.
I've never gone to a three-dayfestival.
I don't know how people do it.
It's like a fucking marathon.
It really is um.
I saw katie pruitt.
She was good, don't know howyou say.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
You didn't blow your load too early and it's a
marathon, not a sprint, but youwere blackout, being lifted into
the air by a big guy, and textmessage from someone who doesn't
speak english on the firstnight and you don't remember his
name, that is, uh, literally asprint, not a marathon.
So just want to make sureyou're living, like you know, in
(10:28):
the delusion and I want to makesure you realize that.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
But if I kept telling myself that this is a slow pace
, I knew I could get through it.
It's like when you're hiking,you're like, okay, I'm halfway
done, I'm half of a halfway done, like, yeah, that's how my mind
is.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I'm, like day one, a quarter way done.
I can do this, I can relate, Iknow what you mean.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I got to see Dasha.
She sings the song Austin, doyour thing, did your truck break
?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
down.
Oh, I love that song.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
She's like Gretchen Wilson mixed with Renee Rapp or
someone like this.
Like 90s women kind of embracetheir real country aesthetic.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I definitely get that vibe from her.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
All the videos I've seen of her, she could not sing
Worth a Lick and she was goodReally.
Good, shockingly and there wasthis group of very hot men
overall, she like the like thehighlight of of a friday um no,
but the probably the highlightof the day was chris stapleton.
He was like the main closer forthe first night, yeah, and
solid.
He brought out willie nelson ohshit okay yes, and how is
(11:41):
willie doing?
Oh, not well, no, was he?
like smoking some gong Icouldn't tell, but he could
barely move around that stageand he was standing.
No, they sat him down, oh andokay I think he was ushered out
there by some nurses orsomething I couldn't tell, but
like he was hooked up, he lookedfrail, okay, really frail, and
you know I work in hospice, kindof like how you look after the
(12:03):
previous night?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
yeah, we're looking the same.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I'm like in a wheelchair me, him, or making
eye contact.
I'm like you're seeing.
Your heard your felt.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, I understand you, I'm a nurse, I get it, it's
like do you need your morphinedose?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
because baby?
He looked like he was like oneof my patients, but if not worse
.
Oh wow, couldn't even hear himcouldn't even play.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
he's not graduating from hospice.
No, okay, you're getting heldback a year.
Girl.
Yeah, you're staying on service.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Okay, but that night I hooked up with this man.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Oh, beefy, yeah, Okay .
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Let me describe him.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
He's got like really big biceps, good chest, friendly
face.
He looks kind of like a Texan,yeah, like a little bit of like
a daddy vibes going on, yeah,but like young fit daddy, but
like picture that, but someonewho's insecure about their age,
because there's like this, likeEnergizer bunny, that.
(13:00):
I don't know.
Does that make sense?
Like he's trying to appearyounger than he actually is,
yeah, but like I don't want, I'ma cool dad.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, and I don't want you to be that.
I'm a cool zaddy Because I was,he kept like moving me around
so fast and swiftly.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What do you mean During sex?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, he's like, let's make out.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Turn around, suck, suck my dick, let me eat your
ass.
And then, like, just moving,like, like not even a full
minute had gone by.
Oh well, he was probably onlike a bunch of cocaine, no, are
you?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
sure, I looked at his eyes so he has more add than
you.
Yeah, wow, and then that's alot, as after we're finishing
he's telling me.
He's like oh yeah, just bequiet on the way out.
I don't want.
I was like I didn't know thatyou had people here, because I
was decently loud, probably Forthe six minutes that it lasted.
Yeah, if that yeah, imagine megetting two Ubers.
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Like I Ubered there and then Ubered back.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And then, like you know, like the awkward moment
where, like I'm waiting outsidebecause I just had ordered the
Uber, girl.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
It's like one of my worst.
My least favorite things iswaiting for the uber after
hookup.
It's like worse than the walkof shame.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Um, so then I go back home whatevs?
Clay's not there.
He goes to hook up with someoneone of my friends this is one
of your friends that you went toyeah, clay and chris and he
comes back the next morning andhe calms in bed uh, because
there's three of us, two beds,he.
So he gets in my bed and thenhe wakes up and he's like whose
phone is this?
And I was like I don't fuckingknow when did you get that phone
(14:29):
?
And he's like I think it was aguy I hooked up with and I was
like you stole his phone.
And he was like I didn't meanto it, just hit my pants.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And I'm like what do you mean?
One time time I was in vegasand I was making out with this
hot guy at this gay bar did hespeak english?
yes, okay and he was like, doyou want to go up to my room?
And he was like it lit or hewas staying in the same building
as the club.
So I told all my friends I wasgoing upstairs with this guy.
Okay, I didn't even think hewas that drunk.
(15:00):
But we get upstairs and westart making out.
I'm on top of him and he passedout while I'm making out with
him, like started snoring justlike.
And I was so mad because I waslike I literally just left all
my friends and a fun dance clubto come up here and fuck you and
(15:20):
you passed out.
So what did I do?
I I took $100 out of his walletand went back downstairs and
bought all my friends drinks.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Hey guys sorry, I was just trying to get us free
drinks.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I was like you know what?
That is fucked up.
That is fucked up.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I know, but you should not admit to thievery.
Okay, well, I did so, it's fine.
So Sunday was probably myfavorite day.
After this, we'll get to moreof like friendship talk.
I just have to like get allthis out.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, so the main reason why I went to this,
festival is Jess Glenn and ReneeRapp.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Jess Glenn, I cried the entire performance.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
When you said you cried so much, I figured it was
going to be at Jess Glenn.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Because she I think I've told you you I cry when I
laugh is my favorite album,probably of all times.
Yes, yeah, for backwards, Iknow every song on the album and
hearing it live, so good, so,so good and she looked
phenomenal.
She doesn't, she's not a dancer, she's just gonna go up there
and sing with her fucking vote.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh, yeah, she's a vocalist yeah, and it's just
she's saying all my faves,that's enough.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
She's saying all my faves.
Um, I got front row to queenherbie because everyone went to
chaparone and I avoided it likethe plague, just because I knew
I would.
We could hear it all the way onthe other side of the fucking
festival grounds.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, insane, she broke records both weekends
Right.
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And I think her outfit alluded to us wearing a
strap-on.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Ooh, I love that.
Yeah, kinky.
Anyway, that's a tangent yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
And, of course, as I would, as I love to do Made out
with a hot-ass man, hot.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Okay, do you have pictures of him?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Does he speak English ?
I couldn't tell you.
Does it feel like Spanish?
Couldn't tell you.
No.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Okay, I don't know, but I know what you're talking
about.
Some tongues are rougher thanothers.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I was talking more about the motion that it makes
the motion of the ocean.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Was he rolling his R's yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
it makes like the motion of the ocean.
Was he rolling?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
his r's yeah or no?
No, I don't, couldn't tell you.
Okay, couldn't tell you.
I was making eye contact withthe gogo boy, though.
Oh, he's definitely straight.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
But while you're making out with yeah, he was
giving me eyes.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Okay, actually, I do know who this guy is and he's
not near as hot.
He added me on instagram theguy you're making out with yeah,
that's sad okay so it wasn'tthat hot no, I just made this
lie up I guess, okay, so this iswhere it gets fun and juicy
okay so clay beats chris and Iback to the hotel and while we
are out, he is making out withthis other guy and clay clay is
(17:57):
yeah he's making out with thisother guy and we are friends
that are going to supportwhatever we're like.
You're into it?
Cool, great.
So they go back.
Chris and I, I think, get food,and that's why we're oh yeah,
because I'm standing thereeating a hot dog on the side of
it.
Oh, so good.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
So Clay is off to the hotel with the guy he's making
out with.
You and Chris are getting somestreet meat.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, and so then we come.
Then I'm like, oh, they're notback yet, so I go to go into the
bathroom.
Oh, they're getting out of theshower.
They're naked.
I'm like, oh, close the door.
I'm like, chris, we're gonnahave a picnic outside.
Okay, it's 3 am, uh-huh, sowe're eating outside to let Clay
get fucked okay, like goodfriends would do.
And then I'm on the on the grid, and then I'm like Chris, at
(18:40):
three o'clock in the morning.
Catch you later yep, um, I getthere.
Fucking.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Stops responding no and I'm like, I'm like hey, I'm
here, I can't.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
No, I uber okay I'm like, hey, I can't find like it
was like a weird complex.
It's like I can't find yourapartment number.
So, and then no response, andthen I'm still just walking
around.
When I tell you like so, thenlike I.
Finally I was like oh, there itis.
His bedroom window is likeright next to the front door.
Lights on, I could.
It sounds creepy, but you couldsee in there, like I was
(19:14):
intentionally trying to pass thefuck out no um, so anyway,
that's not even.
that's not even the end of thestory.
Okay, so then I get back afterbeing so fucking embarrassed.
I'm walking in it's like 4.30at the 4 am, 4.15.
And Clay is like dry, heavingin the bed and I'm like waking.
I'm like shaking him to wakehim up.
I'm like get your ass up.
(19:34):
You're going to throw up, let'sgo throw up.
Meanwhile, the guy he ended upnot even fucking, so they didn't
have sex.
We sat outside for no fuckingreason.
He's in the bed next to him.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
They just took a shower together Apparently.
Then he was like guys, I gaveyou eyes, I wasn't into it.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I'm like.
You didn't give us any eyes.
You refused to look at us.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not your problem, rightno?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Don't blame, throw up , I'm fine.
He throws water on his face, hegets back in my bed with chris,
my friend, and he would notmove.
So guess who had to sleep inthe bed with the stranger?
Me, you, and he sweats thestranger.
Yes, I would have gotten thebathtub no, oh, it was kind of a
dank hotel because it was kindof like.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
It was like we could walk to an airbnb.
No, no, because we could walkto.
I thought you guys got anAirbnb.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
No, no, because we could walk to the festival, but
like Time is fucked up.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Clay.
Okay, we're calling you out,clay no but it's got.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
But this is what I appreciate about the, because,
like I'm like, okay, slay.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
All right, that's nicer than I would be, that's
fine.
Good morning I took morning.
I took a hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Good morning starshine.
How are?
We yeah the sun's out, get,yeah, you need to leave so I can
go to bed, yeah, and so then wewait miserable.
We have to get on a fuckingplane.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Oh yeah, barely got any sleep so in a knoxville,
everyone, all three of you, aregoing back to knoxville yeah,
all all in the same plane.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Okay, ultimately, I went home for my brother's
wedding is why I went home, andthen it just coincided.
I forgot that it was for yourbrother yeah, my younger
brother's wedding okay he'sgetting married to a woman yeah,
okay, I'm the only guy in thefamily okay, her name is taylor
and they've been together forgood question how long?
I don't know okay, a few years,at least you knew her name.
(21:23):
That's good.
A few years, yeah, a few years.
At least you knew her name,that's good.
A few years, yeah, a few years.
But what's so interesting andfun to think about?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
is it was like a honky tonk kind of wedding.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
No, no, no, formal white dress yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Black suit.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, they do have honky tonk.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I've gone to honky tonk weddings like they're
wearing jeans yeah, and liketennessee.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Vol colors yeah, like orange and white, yeah.
Um, how many people were there?
Oh, probably like 100.
Oh, my god, the t while we wereat the wedding.
So there was like a parking lotand then there was like people
had to park on the other side ofthe fence near the highway.
Someone had came and brokenjust so many cars and stole
their pocketbooks and phonesbroken what At the wedding yeah?
It's a loose term, because allthe cars were unlocked.
(22:08):
And I learned in Seattle, baby,you don't leave anything in
sight.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, you're still dealing with insurance problems
because of your brain change.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, I shouldn't give anyone advice and me over
here judging people.
How could you do that?
Meanwhile, they didn't havefour busted windows.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
You know, if you had not locked your car, you
wouldn't have had so many brokenwindows.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I did stop locking it when I lived in the city
because of those.
It just took me a long time tofigure it out In.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
San Francisco.
That's what they do.
People write notes saying it'sunlocked, take anything you want
, because they'd rather not havetheir car broken into.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah, but here they don't even steal anything.
They do it.
Yeah, piss me off, yeah.
And then like these two, likeI'm going out to grab my vape,
obviously, and these two girlsare like we're like what are we
gonna do?
I'm like you should probably gotell someone like their cars
were broken.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, like windows are broken.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
No, like they they notice their phone in their wall
who leaves?
Their phone in their pocketbookin a car I don't know, that's
weird um, so anyway, that's notthe actual wedding part that I
want to get to, because I dohave something to say about a
girl who I invited.
Okay, um, my best friend.
I've talked to you about her.
I'm not going to say her nameand read her for filth.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Okay, so this is now Sunday.
This is now Saturday.
This is now Saturday, thewedding day.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I offered to hang out with her Thursday.
She said she couldn't becauseshe had a lot of work.
And then she texted me saturdaymorning saying she couldn't
come to the wedding and she went.
She was supposed to be yourplus one yeah, and she was my
plus one to my sister's weddingif she couldn't come, who would
you have invited instead?
No one because, like, she'slike the kind of friend, like
(23:39):
she enjoys like those types ofmoments and like and she's's
like knows your family.
She's met them multiple times.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, she's met them on Facebook.
Yeah, how long have you knownher?
How long have you been?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Five years.
When did you guys meet?
Five years ago, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
And and she's the one who's five years ago, so I was
21 when you were 21.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah okay, it's a big year for elmo yeah became a
nurse got a friend who's reallybig.
Um yeah, so I met her throughplaying softball.
I got invited to go to theworld series shortly after going
and I go with my friends jamieand tony.
She was their roommate.
She was like who the fuck isthis little twinkie boy coming
with us?
(24:22):
and then we fell in love okayand so did you bond over I don't
know like we, just you'rekicking kicking like, like we're
besties, but like I think she'salways wanted a child and like
I kind of like it was kind ofplayed into like the like wisdom
, like not really mother, son,but kind of like that.
Is she older than you?
Yeah, oh, I forget, I have tosay these things.
(24:44):
Yeah, she's 50.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
She's much older than you.
Okay, got it.
I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, and so she obviously gives a lot of life
advice, wisdom, but she canoutdrink the best of them.
Again, the stories I could tellyou about this woman fine,
chaotic, um, but like we I washer mammals hospice nurse, like
we've just gone through a lottogether.
Yeah, um, all of covid, westayed together non-stop and
(25:11):
I've talked to you about herbefore, about, remember.
You were like what have youtold her what you need?
Um, so then she texted me thatI just liked it, didn't respond
because she was like yeah, shewas like hey, I have a migraine.
I'm probably.
I'll let you know a little bitlater if I'm gonna be able to
come.
I just liked it and I knew shewasn't coming, but she didn't
tell me that until like 5pm likeyou, gave it a thumbs up and it
(25:35):
really upset me because I am intown.
I am in town, she's your plusone for the wedding.
I'm in town.
You already turned me down onenight and then Saturday the
wedding turned me down.
So I was like really about her.
But I finally called her todaybecause we were recording this.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
So I called her on my way home.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And I knew she felt bad, bad, but she chose not to
acknowledge it and it kind ofjust let me yeah I did.
I said I'm really sad I didn'tget to see you when I was in
town her statement was thatmigraine of mine?
it lasted until this, and thenshe starts talking about all the
things going on in her life,and this is why I wanted to talk
(26:20):
about this whole navigatingfriendship thing yeah and we
have the we I thought had thekind of friendship like and we
still do, like where we could,you could pick it up and put it
down, but like it doesn't reallyget picked up much anymore.
I think there's a part, and Iit almost turned into like
journaling, because I reallywanted to like think about how
(26:43):
this experience was different,going home, than all the other
ones.
Because I remember let me putinto perspective so when I first
started travel nursing, I wouldgo home and people were like,
oh my god, we missed you andlike everyone would want to like
hang out.
We'd, everyone would make suchan effort, we'd go, do things
and I would come home morefrequently.
And then I'd come home and feelkind of disconnected from
(27:07):
everyone and people's effortdecreased.
And I took it personally a lot,even in April when I went home,
even like in april when I wenthome, and I think this trip was
(27:27):
different because I spent moretime with my family than I did
with friends.
So a lot of my friends were atthe world series for softball,
um, and I just appreciated likegetting to almost like come into
their world and it's not myworld anymore, you know like I'm
coming in to your life, intoyour city and getting to
experience how you've changedand grown and, like I'm not,
(27:50):
still holding on to what ourrelationship was right you know,
three years ago you're excitedto see how it's changed, if
anything and I didn't realizethat until after I got back.
Sorry, I didn't realize thatuntil after I got back from the
trip.
And that's this is the premiseof why the whole episode I
(28:12):
wanted to share.
I wanted to gossip, share thetea, but yeah, it's really tough
to navigate that, especiallybecause it's not conversations
you want to have, as you'rehaving those feelings Like,
right oh, I'm not feelingconnected to you when I'm coming
in.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I'm not doing like but if you're saying like that
you're showing up with the hopethat you get to experience
people in a new way and thatthere's really no pressure to
like show up and expecteverything to be the same, then
(28:51):
why are you feeling the way thatyou're feeling about your
relationship with this friendnot showing up in a way that you
expected them to show up?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
That's a good question.
I think that I'm allowingmyself to.
I'm I think in my brain I'mgiving other people permission,
but I'm still holding her to thesame standard.
Right, and that's not fair.
But Something about thatrelationship, though, like it's
(29:25):
really special because itreflects my mind and my mom's
relationship.
Yeah, because I went.
I was told her that I learnedthat in therapy, uh-huh, but I
don't know.
It's a good question.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I'll have to ponder that well, or you can just ask
her and you said you talked toher and she didn't bring
anything up, but you could be,you know, you can just ask her.
Be like, hey, so is ourrelationship different?
Because it felt like it wasdifferent when we, you know,
when I was back home and Ithought that we were going to be
able to like reconnect, and Ifelt like we didn't, and that's
(30:02):
upsetting for me, because I feltlike we didn't and that's
upsetting for me because I feltlike we could step back into
where we were, but like you know, is that how you feel is?
is that how is that how you areperceiving things, or you know?
Is there anything that you wantto address or bring up, or are
you ready to just move on?
Speaker 2 (30:19):
that's a good.
I like that because, you know,I, whenever I like the way my
brain works and the words I wantto use, tend to be a little bit
more pointed and aggressive,uh-huh.
And so if I don't feel like Ican speak as gracefully as I
want, I just won't say it right,because I can come across kind
of bitchy.
Yeah, why the fuck didn't yousee me bitch?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, you know.
My first thought is do you knowthis like weird fact that guys
think about the Roman Empirelike multiple times a day or
something weird?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
like that yes.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Supposedly.
I mean like I'm a guy, I guess,but I'm non-binary so it
doesn't really come up that muchin my mind.
So it doesn't really come upthat much in my mind.
Um, okay, but do you know whatit is for girls like things that
pop into their brain multipletimes a day, like the roman
empire does for guys?
salty, sweet snacks no okay,it's their ex-best friend.
Their ex-best friend pops intotheir head multiple times a day.
(31:16):
That's so me, right I?
That's why I'm bringing it up,like you.
Like that is your Roman empire.
This person is your fuckingRoman empire.
And I bring it up because, um,my best friend from high school.
We were so close throughouthigh school, throughout college.
(31:37):
She was like the first personto visit me at college, like
during orientation.
I would go visit her all thetime in Santa Barbara while I
was living in Malibu, and wewould like fly back and forth to
you know, back home, and wewould talk on the phone every
(31:57):
single day.
And just two years ago, we tooka trip to barcelona to go to a
music festival for the cheetahgirls, the cheetah girls, were
not there.
No, oh, but yes, we did go tobarcelona and we did go to the
(32:18):
Gaudi Park.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Where they recorded the music video.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, and some shit went down at the music festival.
We have not talked since.
I mean, I have apologizedprofusely, even though I don't
really feel like I did anythingwrong, because you like Dua Lipa
, just say that, yeah, yeah, andshe has said that she's
accepted my apology, but she'salso I've.
(32:42):
I've reached out to hermultiple times.
She ignores everything and allof a sudden it's like we went
from best friends for the lastlike decade plus to not talking
at all, and I don't know, likewhat to do or how to act or how
to feel about it honestly, butat the end of the day it just
(33:03):
comes up like it pops into mybrain all the time and what's
her life like?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
and yeah, that's tough, though.
No, because there is a morningthat comes along with, yeah,
like it's people that, likeyou're like inseparable, and
then, like it's always, it seemslike it's over something stupid
, a lot of the times, right likereflecting back on it, but then
it just like so much timepasses that you're just like, oh
, I can't give it the energy.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Yeah, so what can you take from that story to apply
to yours?
Speaker 2 (33:34):
honestly, it makes me reflect on like okay, I want.
If you're not gonna match myenergy, I'm like I'm also.
No, that's probably the wronganswer, because part of me just
wants to be like, okay, I'm justgoing to match your energy and
slowly fade away.
But that's not fair.
Should I say something?
Well, is it?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
worth it to you?
Is it worth having thatconversation over it?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
always just depends, because if it's a negative
outcome, I think it's havingthat conversation, it's always.
It always just depends, becauseif it's a negative outcome, I
think it's going to make itworse and make my experience,
though, then it's gonna make myexperience.
I'd much rather just like usnaturally gravitate away than
for me you're afraid of having ahard conversation not that,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah no.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
It's always better to have the conversation.
It's always better to have theconversation than to not have
that conversation and to thinkin your head for the next 100
years you know, until you diewhat it would have been like if
you had had that conversationwith your friend.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, and she's the kind of person I've had tough
conversations with, but, as ourmost recent duo guest said, the
times you don't want to have aconversation are the times you
should, and I thought I wasgoing to do that today, but then
, like I just got, I felt morehurt.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I thought that that's where the story was going.
I felt more hurt.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
That's where I felt more hurt whenever she tried to
like, shift it away from likewhat I was trying to acknowledge
and that in that moment I waslike, oh, I'm not comfortable
with discussing this as much asI thought I was right because I
thought she'd be like, oh yeah,like that was really sucked, I'm
sorry, didn't even acknowledgeit, didn't even ask about it,
(35:18):
didn't even did you get home,like she's like.
But no, she did say I did trackyou because she has my location
to make sure you get home safeand randomly she'll just like.
When we were camping, she waslike are you okay?
You're in the middle of thewoods.
Like she checks on me Maybe sheother fair, because we do come
(35:42):
from different generations andlike things.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
I think you need to tell her I did, but that was a
couple years ago when I firstmoved here, so that's fair
that's fair, but um I peoplecan't show up for you unless you
tell them how you need them toshow up for you or you've told
me the same exact thing abouther too before.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Yeah, and maybe it's it's my ear, you know I can't
hear right so it just went inone ear, out the other.
It's selective, but I anotherreflection thing that I was
talking about that so correlatesis I didn't see as many friends
this time, um, but I spent moretime with family and the
friends I did see.
I spent more time individuallywith them, like Clay and Chris.
(36:23):
obviously I saw a lot and I feltmore connected to everyone and,
like I shared earlier, like Ifelt like I was coming into
their world and it's almost likea quality over quantity yeah
well, like a parent, like intheir kid goes off to college
and then they come back and theykeep holding them to the same
18 year old that left to go tocollege right, like they want to
(36:43):
put you in this box and likehow I always complain, like
everyone back home always keptputting me in this box and like
for a long time I was mourningthat everyone had changed so
much but then this trip, notintentionally, like I only
realized it reflecting on it.
Everyone has changed so much andit's so wonderful to just get
(37:08):
to be like a visitor in theirworld.
Yeah, and you've changed tooRight, and I knew that I had,
but I never even let myselfthink that they had Right.
And like my sister has her ownfamily, like my brother has his
own family, yeah, like my oldbrother also has family with
kids, and like my parents areenjoying their life, and like
(37:29):
all of these things arehappening without me being the
center of attention which is newfor me, but this was the first
time I didn't like.
I felt sadness.
Sometimes I was like, oh, Ishould be doing more, but I was
like, but each time that I wasseeing people it was so like I
don't know, felt my cup up morethan, like you said, quantity.
(37:50):
Yeah, chef's kiss I love that.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
That's good, that's growth.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Yeah, okay, and I got my rat tail back.
Yeah, I'm not even going to usethat as a victory.
Ew, you refuse to touch it.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Ew, yeah, but we should get into our victory
vices.
I'm so glad to hear that youhad such a fun trip, despite
maybe losing a really goodfriend.
But you had some crazyadventures and I think it's
always fun to like come backfrom a trip and be like, yeah,
that shit was fucking crazy andyeah, I did some of it just for
(38:23):
the plot period okay, victoryand vice.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Let's do this do you want me to go or do you want to
go?
Speaker 1 (38:30):
I'll go first, because you've talked for like
the whole I know and youprobably made no sense.
Go ahead.
Yeah, I'll cut most of itliterally.
It's three minutes, it's justyour clips.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Don't be so funny.
If one time you editedsomething, you're like oh, the
edits up on the drive, it's just, it's just me.
Yeah, caleb, you're fuckingdumb, yeah for three minutes.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Okay, my victory of the week is I just decided to
take off yesterday from work andI told my boss I was like it is
one of the last like reallynice sunny days in the fall
before.
It's just like overcast andrainy and cold and, you know,
snow's going to start falling.
In the past and I like havereally wanted to go see these
(39:13):
fucking large trees which arelike pine trees that turn bright
yellow in the fall and they'relike all these hikes you can go
on, and so I've researched abunch of them and I've like put
together a couple like groups tolike go do these.
Like this larch hike, and it'sfallen through again and again
and, um, like one time it fellthrough because someone had gone
(39:38):
on the same hike that I hadplanned and there were no, like
they hadn't changed colors yet.
So I was like, well, fuck that,skip, skip it, we'll do it like
a month later, then anothertime, uh, and then the traffic
oh yeah, the traffic, oh yes,exactly so there were like
traffic issues, blah, blah blah.
So for one reason or another,this thing just hasn't happened.
(40:01):
So I was like you know what?
It's the last sunny day beforeall the rain like hits Seattle.
I'm going to drive three hourson a Tuesday out to Leavenworth.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
What?
Yeah, I didn't know.
It was that far I woke up at730 in the morning.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I didn't wonder why was that far?
I woke up at 7 30 in themorning.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
I didn't wonder why you packed my bag.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yeah, and I drove out there by myself to lake cool
chuck and it's like a nine milehike round trip and I just did
it by myself and girl it's likea almost 3 000 foot elevation
gain.
Some of it is like rock climbing.
There's like crossing riversand streams, parts like where
(40:42):
you just like can't really tellwhere the trail like is going
because of like the rocks andshit and branches that are in
the way.
It's like not that wellmaintained.
So I definitely had like acouple like moments of panic
where I was like, am I going inthe right direction?
I don't know.
So by the time I get to the topI'm so exhausted, my legs are
(41:09):
so tired, I'm so sore, I'm sohungry, I'm so thirsty and I'm
so fucking thankful that Ididn't get lost, that I made it
to the top and I feel soaccomplished and the lake is so
gorgeous.
The one downside was there werelike almost no larch trees.
I was like, fuck you, youstupid fucking larch trees.
(41:30):
There were plenty, like down bythe fucking parking lot.
I didn't even need to go onlike this hike, but the lake was
stunning.
Your eyes look great, thank you.
The color of the lake, um.
So anyways, that's my victory,because I did this really hard
(41:50):
hike um and got to see a lakethat I had wanted to see for a
long time.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
A couple arches, but you know, not quite the stunning
yellow that I was expecting onthis trip and um yeah, that's so
infamously unwell of you I know, fucking hell, because you're
like wow, because it's actuallyreally cool to hear you say all
of this, because I'm like you'rea bad bitch yeah, go ahead, pop
up and then of course I did thelorax came and stole the
(42:20):
fucking larch.
Yeah, what the fuck.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Um, I did get lost on the way back down, which you
think, after you like hike upthe mountain, that going back
down it would be like mucheasier.
Like you know, it's just rightback down the same way.
You came.
Well, I don't know how, butthis trail like split and I
couldn't.
I didn't know which way to goand somehow, um, towards the
(42:45):
very end of the hike, I had tolike cross a river and I was
like I know I didn't cross theriver, coming up the hill like
neck deep in water, so I waslike how did I get here?
like how did I get on the otherside of the river?
It doesn't make any sense.
So, anyways, I had to like jumpacross a couple stones, which I
thought I was going to bereally graceful, graceful doing,
(43:07):
but, um, one of my uh feetended up in the water, so I had
like a soggy shoe for the lastlike I don't know half a mile,
which honestly wasn't that badbut that sensation, I hate that
sensation.
I know it goes between yourtootsies, yeah, and I have
waterproof shoes, so they likejust sit inside they weren't
(43:27):
very waterproof?
yeah well, yeah, not when yourfoot goes entirely under the
water.
Uh, water resistant.
But I also um went immediatelyfrom hiking this 10 mile hike to
my sommelier training class.
So I like wasn't sure I wasgoing to have enough time to
even like make it.
(43:47):
I wanted to stop at Leavenworthto grab a beer first, but then
I, like Google, mapped it once Igot back down to my car and I
was like, no shit, you got to goright now.
Once I got back down to my carand I was like, no shit, you
gotta go right now.
And so I went back um and didmy sommelier training class
sweaty as fuck, with no newdeodorant or you know any
cleaning products and a soggyshoe was this three mile, three
(44:08):
hours, one way yeah, yeah, itwas two hours back to Issaquah
where I did my uh sommelierclass, but and how many hours
did it take you to this hike?
for uh three and a half roundtrip.
Yeah, god, so like nine and ahalf.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Well, thank god, you were looking forward to that
class, because there's not alifetime I would show.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
I know I was like I just wanted to get a beer, so
bad.
And then I was like, wait, Iget to go drink a bunch of wine.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
That's so fun I was talking oh, I think it was to
Tristan about how excited I amfor you to do this and for you
to teach me more things aboutwine.
I'm happy to.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
I'm sitting on a peak pool right now.
Peak pool is like a whitevarietal from the south of
France.
It's actually from this littlegrowing region called Penay.
It's called a peak pool dePenay, but unless growing region
called Pinay, it's called apeak pool day Pinay, but unless
you grow it in Pinay, you can'teven like spell it the right the
(45:07):
same way.
So okay, so my vice of the weekis that I went to Walla Walla
and it was freaking amazing,like I wasn't expecting it to be
.
It was freaking amazing Like Iwasn't expecting it to be
amazing because I'm from Sonomaand Napa and they have really
great wines there.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Oh, I didn't even know what's there.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
So it's like a wine.
It's a wine region.
Yeah, it's where all the winein Washington basically is grown
is in Walla Walla.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
So it's like it's four hours inland, or yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
East East.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Yeah, and there were some really shitty wines, I will
say that, but I would haveloved them.
There were some really greatones too, and I got to give a
shout out to Alton Wines.
Alton Winery it's a husband andwife team that sold their like
house in seattle during thepandemic.
(45:59):
She works for nordstrom stilland I'm a nordstrom girly um, so
born again and she did our winetasting and the husband now
makes the wine and he is makingjust like gorgeous, elegant
wines and she is curating thisamazing like customer experience
.
They spent like millions ofdollars on this property and
(46:25):
building where the tasting roomis.
I also was there with anarchitect who knows the
architect that built the winery,and so he was giving us all the
insights on, like, what ittakes to build something of this
kind of grandeur, and so,between the winery, the tasting,
(46:47):
with the owner, who's fromnordstrom, and the wines being
spectacular, I was just blownaway.
So interesting vice.
just wait okay everyone'sthinking and my vice is that I
spent way too much money thereon wine.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah, how many bottles did you buy?
Speaker 1 (47:04):
I only bought six bottles, but yeah, they didn't
have a box.
No, they didn't have a box.
I do like that you upgraded tothe black bottle box.
What's it called black box?
Black box, I know, but it's somuch less wine, oh well, it's
better.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Oh, yeah, than your fucking friends.
Yeah yeah, my taste buds arechanging.
Keep going.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (47:27):
Your vice is a lot of times spending money.
It really is.
I know it's a problem it to notwork period.
Okay, slay your turn.
Yay, I'm gonna start with uh,my vice um, not taking a day off
(47:48):
between um traveling and goingback to work.
I landed sunday night here like11 or something I didn't go to,
or 11 30 finally, by the time Igot to the car, I felt really
bad.
It's always hard to time herebecause you could taxi for a
while because I felt bad, youhad to wait.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Well, you were stuck.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
And I think I went to bed at like 1 am after a
three-hour time zone change.
After driving to Atlantagetting stuck in traffic because
it saves like a few hundreddollars Like I think this time
it sent me like $400 not flyingthe 45-minute flight from
Knoxville to Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Yeah, but then you're stuck in traffic for five hours
and my time's worth more thanthat.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Exactly.
Yeah, that was not very smartfor me to do that and I regret
it, and I wanted to call in sodamn badly.
This is your vice.
Yeah, still all my vice.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
And I did look at some of my work messages while I
was gone and that didn't set meup for success either.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
That didn't set me up for success.
My favorite nurse is quitting.
I want to say my victory afterI, because I already talked a
lot about my trip.
I did have a come to Jesusmoment in my brain that I wrote
down earlier.
But I think and I even textedyou and you asked me if I was
high or if I was something I wasjust really appreciative of our
(49:05):
experience at the Kygo concert.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
And I only went.
But I initially only boughttickets for Zara Larson, which
she was great, she was fab.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
For you and someone else too, not even me.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Yeah, I was, which she was great.
She was fab for you and someoneelse too.
Not even yeah, like just, I waslike, oh, someone's probably
gonna want to go, like I got agood deal, I'm just gonna go and
get to because it I thought itwould be something that I was
like I can find someone for.
Yeah, but I enjoyed it so muchwe had a ball.
Yeah, we did and I did.
It was like my first kind ofravey type, whatever experience
with the little seedlings.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
We had a grand old time yeah, and just like really
great like stage pyrotechnicsand stage production and I've
never gone to like a dj set andlike, oh my god, this is great,
or like yeah but, and it'sfucking kygo, I mean, it's hit
after hit after hit.
Higher love, oh oh, one of myfavorites.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
It's so good.
Yeah, but my and we don't haveto share all the details on it,
but my favorite moment was atthe very end, yeah, and I was
trying to leave after HigherLove and you were like no, we
need to stay.
Is it called Freeze?
The last song is called Freeze.
And you're like, no, we have tostay.
And I'm freeze.
(50:19):
And you're like, no, we have tostay.
And I'm like, okay, I do haveto.
I might piss my pants, but okay, yeah, and I'm like okay this
is a vibey song.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
And then, like I came up to you and I was like the
reason I want to stay for thisis because this song means a lot
to me, because it's a song thatmy ex would play all the time,
and when we were like goingthrough our hardest like parts
of our breakup, I would justlike think to myself like it
(50:44):
would be so great if we couldjust like hit the like freeze
button on our relationship andjust like stop it in its tracks
and like, because I could see itprogressing down this like path
of like not going in a gooddirection and, like you know,
towards breakup, and I justwanted to like freeze it to
freeze, and so that's why I waslike I'm just gonna share that
(51:06):
with you, not thinking that itwas gonna be like super
emotional, but then it was andso you were behind me, we were
like hugging and just likeenjoying the moment, and you had
a a big, emotional connection.
Speaker 2 (51:25):
Yeah, I'll say to the song, because I could feel you
like just really breathing andlike they were.
Yeah, the tears were kind oflike did drop did they drop on
you?
Speaker 1 (51:37):
yeah, and and then like you were sobbing.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Okay, no, like I'm not being dramatic and I'm not
trying to like no, no no, don'ttake it.
I just wouldn't categorize it assobbing, but I say feel like
yeah yeah, that's sobbing, butlike I don't do it to patronize
you patronize you.
I don't feel like that.
I just appreciated that we gotto experience that together and
(52:03):
that you were like.
This means a lot to me.
We were doing it together andyou just felt comfortable enough
to do that, because I wouldn'tdo that with a lot of people
that I would go to a concertwith.
So it just was that, and thenwe just had a playful, fun time
yeah, we got to go down thatrandom ass entrance.
(52:25):
Do you not remember whathappened afterwards?
Speaker 1 (52:26):
what, oh, the pissing and the porsche?
Wait, we have to include that,no, oh my god, I'm not very
proud of that.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
I'm telling them.
Speaker 1 (52:35):
So um imagine before you, before you get there.
There was also this girl, whenthe lights came on after freeze,
who was like, also sobbing.
I would say she was sobbing.
I had like a couple glisteningtears and, you know, a couple
catch my breath moments.
Meanwhile I'm under the hairdryer it's like, oh my god, did
(52:55):
I have sea salt spray and I justlike turned to this girl and I
was like, really, they have toturn the lights on right right
now, like while we're crying,like you can't just like wait a
couple seconds so like we canstop crying.
And she made her like laugh.
And then that made me laugh andso, you know, we got to like I
feel like other people werecrying.
That's the moral of the story.
Speaker 2 (53:14):
Well, it's it was the perfect ending because it they
took us on an emotional.
I just did not expect, yeah, adj to be able.
It just was wonderful, yeah,curated, crafted so well, yeah.
And after the lights came on,we're like, oh my god, the
line's so long we're not waitingfor the bathroom no.
So we, like, are going.
It's just so funny because Imade a comment like what do
(53:37):
people come up here?
Um, so we found this parkinglot and I'm like let's go to the
very back corner.
We're just gonna pee.
We're at mid piss.
There's a car between us.
We're peeing on the groundbecause we're not that kind of
friends, we're not looking ateach other piss, I tell you.
I see people walking up.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
I'm like k Kyle, Kyle , kyle, kyle, kyle I said stop
peeing, stop peeing.
Speaker 2 (53:59):
I zip up and then like we start like walking, and
they could tell what we weredoing.
And he was like did you justpiss on my fucking car?
I was like no, you're beingdramatic, we are just pissing by
your car, yeah, and then thewoman stops us again.
You pissed on the fucking carand I'm like just say you don't
(54:20):
have money if you're thatconcerned.
Speaker 1 (54:21):
Right, just go get it washed, if you're really that
concerned.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
