Have you ever woken up in a Target parking lot with your mouth "tasting like regret and tequila"? You're not alone in your gremlin moments.
This episode begins with Emily's attempt to romanticize her life through a carefully crafted sea breeze cocktail, proving that self-care can be as simple as treating yourself to something special. She then dives into a fascinating explanation of "cute aggression"; turns out, science has an explanation for why one listener bit her crush at a university party!
The heart of the episode tackles relationship crossroads we all face. Should you stay with someone who refuses to grow up and consistently puts partying before your relationship? Is it ever wise to give a cheating ex a second chance after years apart? Emily offers thoughtful perspective on both scenarios, acknowledging that while no relationship is truly a "waste of time" (each one teaches us something), staying with someone hoping they'll change rarely leads to happiness.
Listener-submitted gremlin stories bring the laughs, from embarrassing hangover moments to accidentally ruining someone's elaborately planned marriage proposal. Emily contributes her own mortifying memory of throwing up in a wildlife park parking lot during her first trip with her now-boyfriend, proving that even our worst moments can become funny stories years later.
This mashup episode creates a judgment-free space where we can all reflect on our questionable decisions with humor rather than shame. After all, isn't that what connects us? Our collectively messy, imperfect humanity that's still trying to figure it all out.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
hey guys, emily, emily to gremily back again with
another solo episode.
I think I'm kind of gettingused to these.
I don't mind you basicallytalking to myself at this point.
I do it every day, so I mightas well get used to doing it in
front of a camera and amicrophone.
So yeah, we're back againanother solo episode.
(00:34):
I did hold myself accountable toromanticizing my life, which I
said I was going to do in mylast episode, and I did.
I made myself an actualcocktail.
I didn't just throw togethertwo ingredients.
I ended up making a sea breezecocktail.
If you're not watching, it's abeautiful reddy pinky color.
(00:56):
It's just vodka, cranberryjuice and grapefruit juice.
I did switch it up, though.
I did a new vodka that I justrecently found.
I went to Total Wine and I wentthere for you know a Tito's run
, because you know I'm a Tito'sgal and the people who work
there were like hey, if you likeTito's, you should try this
(01:17):
vodka.
It's called Tower Vodka.
I'm not sponsored, but I'mtotally down for a sponsorship.
So Tower Vodka hit me up.
I'm not sponsored, but I'mtotally down for a sponsorship.
So Tower Vodka hit me up.
They said it was just as goodas Tito's, but cheaper and
they're kind of right.
Not that I'm, you know, totallyturning my back on Tito's, but
you know, if you're a frugal gallike myself, tower Vodka is
(01:41):
where it's at.
I don't know if it's soldanywhere else except Total Wine,
so we'll have to see.
I also switched it up and I dida grapefruit soda instead of a
grapefruit juice, I believe itwas.
The brand was Fever Tree.
It's good If you don't likeanything tart though you're not
going to like this drink becauseit's, you know, tart on tart
(02:03):
grapefruit cranberry, but I likeit.
I've had several sips and thenI refilled my cocktail.
So this might be a disaster ofan episode and I might slur my
words.
Um, you're just gonna have tobear with me, but yeah, so I'm
kind of doing a little bit of amashup for this episode.
So I I'm going to do a section.
(02:25):
I don't know what to call it.
I was like is it like CircleBack?
I don't know.
I kind of want a cuter nameother than Circle Back.
But I had a couple people writein questions or a response to a
question I'd already asked andI need to address it.
But if you can think of abetter title other than circle
(02:45):
back, please let me know.
The first one is on theanonymous post from last week
involving she was at auniversity party and she bit her
crush randomly and she didn'tknow why.
I said I do the same thing butI don't bite random people, so
(03:06):
let's just make that clear.
But I said I do the same thingbut I don't bite random people,
so let's just make that clear.
But I said if anyone wants todiagnose what the hell that is,
because it's odd, it's an oddthing to do.
Someone wrote in and they saidquote it's called cute
aggression.
It is described as the feelingof wanting to squeeze, bite or
pinch something adorable withoutany real intent to cause harm.
(03:27):
And I thought that was aperfect statement because I'm
not trying to hurt anybody and Idon't think the girl from last
week was trying to hurt hercrush.
She just I don't know thoughthe was cute and decided to take
a chomp, I don't know.
So if I bite you, it's just mecalling you cute and I would
really love to not have anypushback on that, please.
(03:49):
And thank you, you're the best.
And then I got a question.
The person said I also didn'tknow if I should like say the
person's name, so I'm just likekeeping these anonymous.
So in the last episode I hadsaid that I had gotten an ear
piercing for my 15th birthday.
My mom took me to a piercer andsaid I could get anything I
(04:11):
wanted done.
I started with my ear, the topof my ear and I had such a
horrible experience that I neverdid anything else, including
the belly button piercing that Ireally wanted, and I said I
would have gotten more use outof my belly button piercing than
the ear piercing that I reallywanted.
And I said I would have gottenmore use out of my belly button
piercing than the ear piercingthat I got.
And someone asked me how wouldyou have gotten more use out of
(04:32):
your belly button piercing?
And my honest answer is becausewhen I was skinny and 22 and a
hoe, everyone and their daddywould have seen that, like, your
girl was walking around innothing but crop tops and that's
how I would have gotten moreuse out of it.
Because no one saw my ear,especially like way back when,
(04:52):
when I was younger, I used tohave my hair always down in a
tiny ass little outfit andthat's just the way I live life.
Nobody saw my freaking ears andeveryone saw my stomach.
Nobody saw my freaking ears andeveryone saw my stomach and how
skinny, tiny I was.
And you know, those were thedays I was also thinking back on
it and I realized that my momshe was she was a pretty strict
(05:16):
woman when I was growing up andfor her to take me to go get a
piercing is kind of like alittle out of the ordinary for
her, considering how strict shewas about like everything.
But I do believe she did kindof like a reverse psychology on
me.
She didn't mind me getting myear pierced and she is the one
who said let's start with theear.
(05:36):
I had to think back on it andwas like she did say it.
I think she knew that I wasgoing to be afraid to get
anything else pierced and itfucking worked.
So since then I haven't gottenany other piercings.
I have no tattoos and I let thatwhole this ear hole close up.
It's ridiculous.
And even so I tried to put onearrings like last week and my
(06:01):
right ear the the hole like inmy normal cartilage I got like
as a baby child that one is kindof closed up.
So I almost have to get thatrepierced.
If I want to wear normalearrings and I don't know if I'm
going to do it which means ifyou see me with earrings, unless
I conquer my fear, I'm going tohave to wear like clip-ons,
(06:21):
like I don't know a two-year-old.
I have a bunch of earrings thatI want to wear and I have, like
, some really nice earrings.
I just can't wear them becauseI can't push it through the hole
.
It's becoming ridiculous.
Also, talking about the girl inthe last episode who, drunk,
(06:42):
texted her ex-boyfriend 17 times, I made the statement saying I
didn't think I'd ever drunktexted an ex and if I did, don't
tell me because it's not mybusiness.
Unfortunately, I have a friendwho decided it should be my
business and she was very quickto remind me hey, by the way,
(07:05):
that's not true, you have drunktexted an ex.
And I was like hold on, wait.
I need timelines, I needreceipts, I need to know what's
going on.
So she told me about it and Istill stand by my statement.
That guy was not anex-boyfriend, that guy was a
situationship, a hookup, I don'tknow.
At one night, one night I wasfeeling myself and, drunk,
(07:29):
texted him basically like booty,calling him, asking to come
over and him being you know thehoe that he was, he was like
yeah, of course, totally comeover.
And luckily she did stop mefrom going, so she stayed.
She saved half of my dignity.
So thank you for that, forsaving me.
But also how dare you remind meof it?
(07:51):
Because I had blocked that frommy brain and also blocked that
guy from my brain.
So thank you for that.
So, like I said, this episode isgoing to be kind of like a
mashup.
I was going to do the circlebacks, which I believe I'm done
with unless something else popsinto my brain.
But also I had gotten someadvice questions.
(08:12):
I had put it back.
I believe it was episode four,the relationship centered
episode, where I said if youguys have any questions, like
you need advice on something, toemail them in or DM me.
I had gotten these after I hadalready filmed and published
that episode, but I thought Ishouldn't just like leave them
(08:34):
alone.
I wanted to respond to them.
So I have two of them.
Both of them are anonymous.
If you were waiting for myresponse on this, I'm sorry it
took so long.
Maybe I'll do some kind of likeend of the episode If you guys
are asking for advice, I caninclude it into the episodes, or
if I have guests on, I can readthem your questions and get
(08:55):
their input and what theiradvice would be and see if we
have the same advice, or maybe,just so you can get two
different perspectives.
So that's what I'm gonna do.
This first one says I have beenwanting to break up with my
boyfriend for a while now, but Idon't know if I should do it or
how to do it.
He is a nice guy but he justwon't grow up.
(09:17):
He loves to go out with hisfriends every weekend and binge
and party.
I don't mind him hanging outwith his friends, but it's just
getting to be too much.
I reached the end of my ropewhen he was too hung over from
partying on a Friday night to gowith me to my cousin's wedding
on a Saturday afternoon, eventhough we had planned this out
(09:40):
for months in advance.
We got into a huge fight and Itold him he needs to grow up and
he said he would.
But now, just two weeks later,we are back in the same boat
again and he went out, went outafter work on Friday and I
didn't hear from him untilSunday night.
I feel like I just wasted a yearof my life.
(10:01):
So what should I do?
Thank you, okay.
So I'm assuming, based on this,that you guys don't live
together because you didn't sayhe didn't come home.
You said you hadn't heard fromhim.
So in my mind I guess thebreakup would be a little
smoother.
There's no such thing as asmooth breakup, actually.
(10:22):
I mean, I haven't experienced asmooth breakup, but you're
saying I feel like I just wasteda year of my life.
So what should I do?
I think it would be a shame towaste another year of your life
because obviously you're not onthe same page as this person.
Not that actually, I don'tthink any relationship is a
(10:43):
waste of time.
I do, I have felt that in thepast but at the same time, every
relationship you have is justkind of like a lesson, which is
maybe kind of a shitty thing tosay, I'm not sure reason, which
(11:07):
sounds really cliche, but Ithink he just kind of taught you
what you are and aren't willingto put up with.
You don't want somebody who isbasically acting like a frat boy
who's, like you know,pretending to be like he's 19
still I don't know the age thatyou guys are, but I mean, unless
he is, you know, 19, 20, 21,like it's time to fucking grow
up.
This guy obviously has PeterPan syndrome and I wouldn't.
(11:29):
I wouldn't have put up withthis either.
I wouldn't have put up with itfor as long as you did.
I think that, like you said,he's a nice guy and you were
just really trying to find thegood in him.
I think you are maybe more inlove with the potential of the
relationship than therelationship in and of itself,
because I feel like that's whatwe kind of hold on to and why we
(11:52):
hold on to relationships aslong as we do because we see
where it could go and how happywe could be if they changed and
they did this one specific thing.
Like I've said it before, youcan't change people.
People don't want to change,doesn't mind partying and kind
(12:13):
of being a fuck up, whichdoesn't seem like that's the
route that you're on.
So I would just say, like youguys have already had this huge
fight, you might as well just gonot go back to that fight, but
just reference that fight andsay, look, we've already talked
about this and you missed animportant life event that I went
(12:33):
to and that you were supposedto go with me to, and I just
don't feel like this is workingout and I would just be straight
up and just state it like as afact, because that is a fact,
it's not up for debate, that'sjust the facts of the matter and
that that's not what you'relooking for at this point in
your life, and he should berespectful of that, because you
(12:57):
can't stop a person from goingout.
If they're gonna go out,they're gonna go out.
So he doesn't wanna change,neither do you.
So let's just part ways and hecan do what he wants to in his
life and you can move on withyours and do what you wanna do.
So I would be verystraightforward with him because
, like you said, he is a niceguy.
It doesn't seem like you shouldbe like worried about having
(13:21):
this conversation with him andhe said he would change.
That's always, you know, famouslast words.
So I would just kind of cutties and just let it be.
That's my advice.
Let me know how that works outif you want to.
Um the next one, anotheranonymous, says I've been single
for about two years after myboyfriend cheated on me with a
(13:44):
random girl one night.
I've had fun being single, butI do get lonely.
I recently came back in contactwith him and he's been asking
for a second chance.
He says no one else measures upto me and it was the biggest
mistake losing me.
What should I do?
Okay, I had a hard time, so Ipicked this one because I'm like
(14:13):
all right, she obviously islooking for an answer.
I feel like I can't really givea great answer.
That's kind of why I do want todo, when I have guests on poll,
their opinion and their advice.
As far as I know, famous lastwords again I don't think I've
been cheated on, so I don't knowwhat it's like to go through
(14:33):
this.
I'm sorry that you're goingthrough this Again.
If I have been cheated on, keepit to yourself, because I mean
at this point I wouldn't give afuck, but let's just move on.
But I don't know it feels.
So you obviously broke up afterthe cheating and I would say
that that's kind of hard to comeback from.
It has been two years, so youobviously have had some time to
(14:56):
heal.
He's had time to move on andrealize what a mistake it was,
but at the same time like whydid he make the mistake to begin
with?
I personally would have a hardtime trusting him again.
But, with that said, if you dodecide to get back together with
him, that means you are lettinggo of the cheating.
(15:18):
You can't bring it up in fightsagain.
If you guys are willing to movepast this and work through it,
you've got to just actually dothat, move past it and work
through it.
So it's up to you.
If you're able to move on andtrust him again because there
are going to be nights where hedoes go out Are you going to
trust him to not cheat on youwhen you go out?
(15:40):
I personally wouldn't andthat's why, if I was cheated on,
I would just straight up cutties.
I do have an easy time doingthat, but everyone's different,
so that's up to you.
I personally probably wouldn'tgo back with him.
And if I mean, if you want tojust sleep with him just for,
(16:02):
like old time's sakes, cool fun,but I wouldn't seriously get
back together with this guybecause I think that, in my
personal opinion, I think Iwould just always have that in
the back of my mind, where Ithink they're going to do it
again, and then you can never behappy and trust like trusting
in the relationship, and ifthere's no trust in the
(16:24):
relationship, then it's justdoomed from the start.
So that's my personal opinion,but everyone's different.
Some people can move on from it, and I mean some people are
married and they get cheated onand they stay together and
everything works out and it'shappily ever after.
So don't take my advice tooseriously on that.
(16:45):
That's just what I wouldpersonally do.
All right, so that was it forthe questions and advice.
The next I have three gremlinstories that I picked Again.
I still have some sitting in myinbox.
These aren't all the ones thatare left.
If I didn't pick yours, I willget to it.
(17:08):
I'm just like I said last weekI'm still moving slowly.
I think I need like vitamins orI don't know I need.
I need something, we'll see.
Ok.
So the first one she didn'tsign it, so we're going to keep
her anonymous to protect theinnocent.
And she says my local dive baris a couple doors down from
Target.
(17:29):
After one particular night Iwoke up in the Target parking
lot with my mouth tasting likeregret and tequila.
I thought I was going out forone drink, but of course I had
more and was in no condition todrive.
Instead of Ubering home, Idecided to move my car to the
(17:50):
Target parking lot and justsleep there.
I don't know why the Targetparking lot and just sleep there
.
I don't know why.
Since I was already technicallyat the store, I figured I
should go inside and buy somehangover essentials I knew I
didn't have at my house, such aselectrolytes and Tylenol.
But as soon as I took a fewsteps away from my car, I
(18:10):
immediately threw up all overthe ground.
I couldn't muster up thestrength to be embarrassed.
I just needed to get in and getout.
I have no idea if anyone saw me.
I just kept my head down andkept going.
I threw up a couple more timesin the Target restrooms and then
proceeded to gather what Ineeded and head home.
(18:32):
I spent the rest of the daycurled in bed and wondered if I
would be able to go back to thatTarget or if I should just give
up on life.
I ended up going back a fewdays later.
Because Target is life, oh mygod.
Because Target is life, girl, Ibefore Target did all their
(18:58):
fucking DEI bullshit.
I thought Target was life too.
I fucking love a great Targetrun.
I would go there thinking Ineed I don't know shampoo and I
would leave you know $500 laterbecause Target told me what I
needed to buy.
I fucking love Target too, butI digress Throwing up in a
(19:23):
parking lot.
When I read that I was like, hmm, have I ever done that?
And then I was horrified toremember I had, and it was a
story that I kind of likesuppressed down, but it was
seven, almost seven, I don'tknow.
Six and a half years ago, sevenyears ago.
(19:44):
But it was the first trip thatI had taken with my boyfriend
and we just did kind of like athree day getaway.
I was terrified to go on thisweekend trip with him.
I was terrified to go on thisweekend trip with him.
I don't know why, maybe becauseI cared so much, but I was so
nervous to go I almost canceled.
(20:06):
We were just I live in LosAngeles we were just going to go
down to San Diego.
It's like a two and a half hourtrip.
We were going to go just like,stay at a hotel, go out, and
then the main thing was we weregoing to go to the zoo.
It wasn't the San Diego Zoo, itwas the San Diego Wildlife Park
(20:26):
, so that was like our main goalof the trip.
Again, I was so terrified to go.
I don't know why, but I go, I'mterrified.
The whole ride there I'm, likeyou know, kind of like shaking
and like nervous and likeclicking my nails together.
We eventually check into thehotel and he asked me oh, what
do you want to do tonight?
(20:47):
And I'm like I need a drinkbecause your girl needed a drink
.
So we go out to.
I should have asked him before.
I don't know if we went to theGaslamp District or if we went
to Old Town one of the two butwe go and we find this fun
tequila bar.
This is back when I used todrink tequila on the regular and
(21:11):
we had copious amounts oftequila.
I don't remember going back tothe hotel.
I was obviously a goddamn mess.
And I wake up the next morningand this man who has apparently
never had a hangover in his life, because God favors him, he's
all up and at him and ready togo and he's like all right, you
(21:31):
ready to go to the zoo.
Blah, blah, blah.
And I'm, like you know,fighting for my life, like all
right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I, I shower, I get dressedand I'm like all right, I think
I'm good, like I'm good to go.
I didn't know that driving tothe wildlife park was going down
a winding road.
That's just like twists andturns and twists and turns and
I'm not someone who gets carsick easily, but I think I was
(21:54):
already on the edge.
We finally get to the parkinglot and I'm like feeling it.
I'm like I don't think this isgoing to be a good idea.
I tell him I don't feel goodand he's like okay, as soon as
we park the car and get out andyou're on stable ground, you're
going to feel fine.
I was like, okay, yeah, like Ibelieved him.
So get out of the car.
(22:15):
And I'm like okay, do feelbetter, we take I don't know
like three car lengths ofwalking.
And I was just like, oh, my god.
And I ran in between two randomcars luckily they were trucks,
so they were big and no onecould really see me and I just
absolutely like threw up my souland I was horrified.
(22:36):
I so embarrassed, not like hehadn't seen me thrown up before
because, like I said, we hadknown each other for like four
years prior to dating but I wasjust like, oh my God, and he was
like, are you okay?
Like he obviously looked at me,like I was like I don't know on
death's door and I was like,yeah, like I do feel better.
So I do think I like threw upthe last part of any sickness
(23:01):
and I felt fine the rest of theday and we got me some crackers,
we got me 7-Up, we got me gumbecause, ew, I had just like
thrown up and it was disgusting,but we did have a great time
that day.
So I have thrown up in aparking lot.
Um, I have since not been backto the wildlife park, although
(23:22):
nobody else knew.
I do feel bad for the peoplewho had to go to their car and
hopefully they didn't step in itbecause ewies, but yeah,
anonymous or unsigned, I feel ya.
But yeah, also the fact thatyou were so hungover and you
found your way into the Target,I think I might have just like
(23:45):
slept there and like in my car,not in the Target, I would just
slept there and, you know,waited till I felt a little bit
better and then you had to drivehome.
Ew, yeah, no, terrible,terrible day, but you know, life
goes on All right.
The next one is from Macy.
Macy says this is a story frommy youth.
(24:08):
For reference, I come from asmall Midwestern town where
there's nothing to do, and thistakes place all the way back in
1995.
And this takes place all theway back in 1995.
It was June and my friend Lexiand I were at the end of a
school year party with most ofthe graduating class.
We were juniors.
Of course there was a ton ofunderage drinking that we were
(24:32):
taking part in and everyone wasgetting rowdy.
After many beers, lexi and Idecided we wanted to play a
prank on her ex-boyfriend,another junior who was at the
party, kissing another girl.
No, not okay.
We decided to gather as manyeggs as we could find and egg
his prized possession, his car.
(24:54):
So we did.
We walked straight from theparty and absolutely covered his
car.
We giggled the entire way backto my house and kept laughing
about it until we passed out.
The next morning we got up likenothing happened because at
that age hangovers don't exist,right, and just went about our
(25:15):
day enjoying the sunshine.
We had no idea that the eggwould cook into the paint of the
car.
Needless to say, he wasdevastated when he saw his car,
but he never figured out who didit.
Thank God we didn't have socialmedia and ring cameras or we
would have definitely gottencaught.
(25:36):
I had so much fun reliving thepast and those were definitely
my wild times.
I have some more stories towrite in if you would like.
Much love, macy.
Okay, first of all, yes, macy,please keep writing in all your
crazy stories.
If anyone has sent in somethingthat's already been read and
you still have more, it's notlike a one and done on this,
(25:59):
please send them all in Macy.
If you want, you can just sendme like an essay of all of them
and I'll just read them like oneby one sporadically.
So keep sending those in Macy.
I want to hear all about your1995 adventures.
In 95, I was a child.
I don't even want to say howold I was because I already feel
(26:23):
old.
Anyway, I was two, but actuallyin June of 95 I wasn't even two
.
So you know, look at me beingso young.
But I have never eggedsomeone's like house or car or
like teepeed somebody's house.
I just I wasn't like that inhigh school and yeah, that's
just like not something that,like myself and like my little
(26:47):
friend group did Like we weren't, like we weren't partiers, we
weren't like drinking a ton ordoing this or that, we were like
pretty docile and chill.
I apparently decided to gremlinout in my early 20s and haven't
stopped since.
But teenage me was a quietlittle mouse, so I've never done
that, and not that I would wantto today, because I don't want
(27:09):
to like ruin someone else'sproperty.
I think that's like bad karma.
But I do kind of feel like Imissed out at one point and I
obviously can't do it now,because one terrible.
And two like it would be soembarrassing to be arrested for
egging someone's property.
Like that's a, that's a kidcrime, that's a child crime.
And the first time I ever getarrested I mean knock on wood,
(27:32):
oh God, there's no wood.
Hopefully I don't ever getarrested.
But like it can't be forsomething so stupid as egging a
person's house or their car.
Also, I do know that eggs ruincar paint, so, but I can imagine
at age 15, you guys didn't knowthat.
So poor guy, I mean you knowwhat?
At the same time he shouldn'thave been kissing somebody in
(27:55):
front of his ex-girlfriend.
So that's that All right.
And last gremlin story she saysoh, this is from Nicole.
She says I accidentally ruinedsomeone's proposal.
So my ex-boyfriend and I wereday drinking at the boardwalk
and while we were walking downto the beach we saw someone set
up a ton of flowers with a litup sign saying will you marry me
(28:18):
?
I looked at it and looked athim and said, oh my God really.
We both laughed because I knewit wasn't for me.
This guy would have neverthought of ever buying me a ring
.
But our drunken selves decidedwe should take selfies with the
display.
Oh God.
Unfortunately, while we werefalling over each other to do so
(28:39):
, the couple who it was actuallyset up for came walking up.
A few people were shooing usaway angrily.
As the girl who was about toget proposed to looked confused,
we ran away and just keptwalking away in embarrassment
but laughing simultaneously.
I really hope they have awonderful life together.
(29:00):
By the way, my ex was garbage,so maybe that was my karma.
Anyway, thanks for listening,nicole.
I have no story for this.
I've never ruined someone'sproposal.
I don't think I've ever beenaround somebody who's gotten
engaged.
Actually, now that I thinkabout it, I don't think I've
ever witnessed with my eyes aproposal.
(29:23):
Yeah, so I don't have any storyfor this, I just thought it was
funny.
And you said walking or daydrinking at the boardwalk.
What boardwalk?
Where are you from?
Let me know.
I'm curious to know.
Also, my boyfriend I havere-watching and binging Jersey
Shore and then after that,jersey Shore family vacation.
(29:44):
So when you said boardwalk andthen you sign your name, nicole,
I was like, oh my god, it'sSnooki.
I know it's not Snooki, butstill let me know, nicole, where
you're from and what boardwalkyou are talking about.
And if it is the Jerseyboardwalk, how coincidental.
Alright, guys, so that is it.
This was again a kind of amashup of an episode.
(30:05):
Circle back the advicequestions, the gremlin stories.
Let me know what kind ofcontent you guys are wanting or
like what you like the most.
Do you want me to read moregremlin stories?
Do you want more advicequestions Like, should I throw
it out there more?
Like it doesn't have to berelationship advice questions If
you just have like questionsabout I don't know life
(30:28):
decisions or this or that.
Again, not a therapist notsaying I know anything that I'm
talking about and not even thatI take my own advice, but
sometimes it's just nice to getan outsider's perspective.

I had said last week in lastweek's episode that I wanted
people to rate five stars,obviously because I want a great
rating, but because on Applepodcasts I had a one star review
that I was like, oh my gosh,somebody hates it.
But then I read it and it wasfrom Harvey Butthole Great name
(31:33):
and he said I was promotingmisandrist commentary, so he
gave me one star.
And he said I was promotingmisandrist commentary, so he
gave me one star.
I had called him out on lastweek's episode just as a way to
say, hey, rate the podcast fivestars so we can get rid of his
comment, and he took the reviewdown.
So I'm like wait, is he stilllistening, even though he gave
(31:56):
it a one star?
What an odd duck.
I didn't know what to do withthat.
So, if you're listening, mrButthole, sorry you hate this
podcast, but also, why are youstill listening?
It's so odd but cool.
Thanks for the engagement.

And yeah, that's the episode.
We're going to do a big cheerswith a drink.
I again barely drank and, yeah,cheersies Bye.
hey guys, emily, emily to gremily back again with
another solo episode.
I think I'm kind of gettingused to these.
I don't mind you basicallytalking to myself at this point.
I do it every day, so I mightas well get used to doing it in
front of a camera and amicrophone.
So yeah, we're back againanother solo episode.
(00:34):
I did hold myself accountable toromanticizing my life, which I
said I was going to do in mylast episode, and I did.
I made myself an actualcocktail.
I didn't just throw togethertwo ingredients.
I ended up making a sea breezecocktail.
If you're not watching, it's abeautiful reddy pinky color.
(00:56):
It's just vodka, cranberryjuice and grapefruit juice.
I did switch it up, though.
I did a new vodka that I justrecently found.
I went to Total Wine and I wentthere for you know a Tito's run
, because you know I'm a Tito'sgal and the people who work
there were like hey, if you likeTito's, you should try this
(01:17):
vodka.
It's called Tower Vodka.
I'm not sponsored, but I'mtotally down for a sponsorship.
So Tower Vodka hit me up.
I'm not sponsored, but I'mtotally down for a sponsorship.
So Tower Vodka hit me up.
They said it was just as goodas Tito's, but cheaper and
they're kind of right.
Not that I'm, you know, totallyturning my back on Tito's, but
you know, if you're a frugal gallike myself, tower Vodka is
(01:41):
where it's at.
I don't know if it's soldanywhere else except Total Wine,
so we'll have to see.
I also switched it up and I dida grapefruit soda instead of a
grapefruit juice, I believe itwas.
The brand was Fever Tree.
It's good If you don't likeanything tart though you're not
going to like this drink becauseit's, you know, tart on tart
(02:03):
grapefruit cranberry, but I likeit.
I've had several sips and thenI refilled my cocktail.
So this might be a disaster ofan episode and I might slur my
words.
Um, you're just gonna have tobear with me, but yeah, so I'm
kind of doing a little bit of amashup for this episode.
So I I'm going to do a section.
(02:25):
I don't know what to call it.
I was like is it like CircleBack?
I don't know.
I kind of want a cuter nameother than Circle Back.
But I had a couple people writein questions or a response to a
question I'd already asked andI need to address it.
But if you can think of abetter title other than circle
(02:45):
back, please let me know.
The first one is on theanonymous post from last week
involving she was at auniversity party and she bit her
crush randomly and she didn'tknow why.
I said I do the same thing butI don't bite random people, so
(03:06):
let's just make that clear.
But I said I do the same thingbut I don't bite random people,
so let's just make that clear.
But I said if anyone wants todiagnose what the hell that is,
because it's odd, it's an oddthing to do.
Someone wrote in and they saidquote it's called cute
aggression.
It is described as the feelingof wanting to squeeze, bite or
pinch something adorable withoutany real intent to cause harm.
(03:27):
And I thought that was aperfect statement because I'm
not trying to hurt anybody and Idon't think the girl from last
week was trying to hurt hercrush.
She just I don't know thoughthe was cute and decided to take
a chomp, I don't know.
So if I bite you, it's just mecalling you cute and I would
really love to not have anypushback on that, please.
(03:49):
And thank you, you're the best.
And then I got a question.
The person said I also didn'tknow if I should like say the
person's name, so I'm just likekeeping these anonymous.
So in the last episode I hadsaid that I had gotten an ear
piercing for my 15th birthday.
My mom took me to a piercer andsaid I could get anything I
(04:11):
wanted done.
I started with my ear, the topof my ear and I had such a
horrible experience that I neverdid anything else, including
the belly button piercing that Ireally wanted, and I said I
would have gotten more use outof my belly button piercing than
the ear piercing that I reallywanted.
And I said I would have gottenmore use out of my belly button
piercing than the ear piercingthat I got.
And someone asked me how wouldyou have gotten more use out of
(04:32):
your belly button piercing?
And my honest answer is becausewhen I was skinny and 22 and a
hoe, everyone and their daddywould have seen that, like, your
girl was walking around innothing but crop tops and that's
how I would have gotten moreuse out of it.
Because no one saw my ear,especially like way back when,
(04:52):
when I was younger, I used tohave my hair always down in a
tiny ass little outfit andthat's just the way I live life.
Nobody saw my freaking ears andeveryone saw my stomach.
Nobody saw my freaking ears andeveryone saw my stomach and how
skinny, tiny I was.
And you know, those were thedays I was also thinking back on
it and I realized that my momshe was she was a pretty strict
(05:16):
woman when I was growing up andfor her to take me to go get a
piercing is kind of like alittle out of the ordinary for
her, considering how strict shewas about like everything.
But I do believe she did kindof like a reverse psychology on
me.
She didn't mind me getting myear pierced and she is the one
who said let's start with theear.
(05:36):
I had to think back on it andwas like she did say it.
I think she knew that I wasgoing to be afraid to get
anything else pierced and itfucking worked.
So since then I haven't gottenany other piercings.
I have no tattoos and I let thatwhole this ear hole close up.
It's ridiculous.
And even so I tried to put onearrings like last week and my
(06:01):
right ear the the hole like inmy normal cartilage I got like
as a baby child that one is kindof closed up.
So I almost have to get thatrepierced.
If I want to wear normalearrings and I don't know if I'm
going to do it which means ifyou see me with earrings, unless
I conquer my fear, I'm going tohave to wear like clip-ons,
(06:21):
like I don't know a two-year-old.
I have a bunch of earrings thatI want to wear and I have, like
, some really nice earrings.
I just can't wear them becauseI can't push it through the hole
.
It's becoming ridiculous.
Also, talking about the girl inthe last episode who, drunk,
(06:42):
texted her ex-boyfriend 17 times, I made the statement saying I
didn't think I'd ever drunktexted an ex and if I did, don't
tell me because it's not mybusiness.
Unfortunately, I have a friendwho decided it should be my
business and she was very quickto remind me hey, by the way,
(07:05):
that's not true, you have drunktexted an ex.
And I was like hold on, wait.
I need timelines, I needreceipts, I need to know what's
going on.
So she told me about it and Istill stand by my statement.
That guy was not anex-boyfriend, that guy was a
situationship, a hookup, I don'tknow.
At one night, one night I wasfeeling myself and, drunk,
(07:29):
texted him basically like booty,calling him, asking to come
over and him being you know thehoe that he was, he was like
yeah, of course, totally comeover.
And luckily she did stop mefrom going, so she stayed.
She saved half of my dignity.
So thank you for that, forsaving me.
But also how dare you remind meof it?
(07:51):
Because I had blocked that frommy brain and also blocked that
guy from my brain.
So thank you for that.
So, like I said, this episode isgoing to be kind of like a
mashup.
I was going to do the circlebacks, which I believe I'm done
with unless something else popsinto my brain.
But also I had gotten someadvice questions.
(08:12):
I had put it back.
I believe it was episode four,the relationship centered
episode, where I said if youguys have any questions, like
you need advice on something, toemail them in or DM me.
I had gotten these after I hadalready filmed and published
that episode, but I thought Ishouldn't just like leave them
(08:34):
alone.
I wanted to respond to them.
So I have two of them.
Both of them are anonymous.
If you were waiting for myresponse on this, I'm sorry it
took so long.
Maybe I'll do some kind of likeend of the episode If you guys
are asking for advice, I caninclude it into the episodes, or
if I have guests on, I can readthem your questions and get
(08:55):
their input and what theiradvice would be and see if we
have the same advice, or maybe,just so you can get two
different perspectives.
So that's what I'm gonna do.
This first one says I have beenwanting to break up with my
boyfriend for a while now, but Idon't know if I should do it or
how to do it.
He is a nice guy but he justwon't grow up.
(09:17):
He loves to go out with hisfriends every weekend and binge
and party.
I don't mind him hanging outwith his friends, but it's just
getting to be too much.
I reached the end of my ropewhen he was too hung over from
partying on a Friday night to gowith me to my cousin's wedding
on a Saturday afternoon, eventhough we had planned this out
(09:40):
for months in advance.
We got into a huge fight and Itold him he needs to grow up and
he said he would.
But now, just two weeks later,we are back in the same boat
again and he went out, went outafter work on Friday and I
didn't hear from him untilSunday night.
I feel like I just wasted a yearof my life.
(10:01):
So what should I do?
Thank you, okay.
So I'm assuming, based on this,that you guys don't live
together because you didn't sayhe didn't come home.
You said you hadn't heard fromhim.
So in my mind I guess thebreakup would be a little
smoother.
There's no such thing as asmooth breakup, actually.
(10:22):
I mean, I haven't experienced asmooth breakup, but you're
saying I feel like I just wasteda year of my life.
So what should I do?
I think it would be a shame towaste another year of your life
because obviously you're not onthe same page as this person.
Not that actually, I don'tthink any relationship is a
(10:43):
waste of time.
I do, I have felt that in thepast but at the same time, every
relationship you have is justkind of like a lesson, which is
maybe kind of a shitty thing tosay, I'm not sure reason, which
(11:07):
sounds really cliche, but Ithink he just kind of taught you
what you are and aren't willingto put up with.
You don't want somebody who isbasically acting like a frat boy
who's, like you know,pretending to be like he's 19
still I don't know the age thatyou guys are, but I mean, unless
he is, you know, 19, 20, 21,like it's time to fucking grow
up.
This guy obviously has PeterPan syndrome and I wouldn't.
(11:29):
I wouldn't have put up withthis either.
I wouldn't have put up with itfor as long as you did.
I think that, like you said,he's a nice guy and you were
just really trying to find thegood in him.
I think you are maybe more inlove with the potential of the
relationship than therelationship in and of itself,
because I feel like that's whatwe kind of hold on to and why we
(11:52):
hold on to relationships aslong as we do because we see
where it could go and how happywe could be if they changed and
they did this one specific thing.
Like I've said it before, youcan't change people.
People don't want to change,doesn't mind partying and kind
(12:13):
of being a fuck up, whichdoesn't seem like that's the
route that you're on.
So I would just say, like youguys have already had this huge
fight, you might as well just gonot go back to that fight, but
just reference that fight andsay, look, we've already talked
about this and you missed animportant life event that I went
(12:33):
to and that you were supposedto go with me to, and I just
don't feel like this is workingout and I would just be straight
up and just state it like as afact, because that is a fact,
it's not up for debate, that'sjust the facts of the matter and
that that's not what you'relooking for at this point in
your life, and he should berespectful of that, because you
(12:57):
can't stop a person from goingout.
If they're gonna go out,they're gonna go out.
So he doesn't wanna change,neither do you.
So let's just part ways and hecan do what he wants to in his
life and you can move on withyours and do what you wanna do.
So I would be verystraightforward with him because
, like you said, he is a niceguy.
It doesn't seem like you shouldbe like worried about having
(13:21):
this conversation with him andhe said he would change.
That's always, you know, famouslast words.
So I would just kind of cutties and just let it be.
That's my advice.
Let me know how that works outif you want to.
Um the next one, anotheranonymous, says I've been single
for about two years after myboyfriend cheated on me with a
(13:44):
random girl one night.
I've had fun being single, butI do get lonely.
I recently came back in contactwith him and he's been asking
for a second chance.
He says no one else measures upto me and it was the biggest
mistake losing me.
What should I do?
Okay, I had a hard time, so Ipicked this one because I'm like
(14:13):
all right, she obviously islooking for an answer.
I feel like I can't really givea great answer.
That's kind of why I do want todo, when I have guests on poll,
their opinion and their advice.
As far as I know, famous lastwords again I don't think I've
been cheated on, so I don't knowwhat it's like to go through
(14:33):
this.
I'm sorry that you're goingthrough this Again.
If I have been cheated on, keepit to yourself, because I mean
at this point I wouldn't give afuck, but let's just move on.
But I don't know it feels.
So you obviously broke up afterthe cheating and I would say
that that's kind of hard to comeback from.
It has been two years, so youobviously have had some time to
(14:56):
heal.
He's had time to move on andrealize what a mistake it was,
but at the same time like whydid he make the mistake to begin
with?
I personally would have a hardtime trusting him again.
But, with that said, if you dodecide to get back together with
him, that means you are lettinggo of the cheating.
(15:18):
You can't bring it up in fightsagain.
If you guys are willing to movepast this and work through it,
you've got to just actually dothat, move past it and work
through it.
So it's up to you.
If you're able to move on andtrust him again because there
are going to be nights where hedoes go out Are you going to
trust him to not cheat on youwhen you go out?
(15:40):
I personally wouldn't andthat's why, if I was cheated on,
I would just straight up cutties.
I do have an easy time doingthat, but everyone's different,
so that's up to you.
I personally probably wouldn'tgo back with him.
And if I mean, if you want tojust sleep with him just for,
(16:02):
like old time's sakes, cool fun,but I wouldn't seriously get
back together with this guybecause I think that, in my
personal opinion, I think Iwould just always have that in
the back of my mind, where Ithink they're going to do it
again, and then you can never behappy and trust like trusting
in the relationship, and ifthere's no trust in the
(16:24):
relationship, then it's justdoomed from the start.
So that's my personal opinion,but everyone's different.
Some people can move on from it, and I mean some people are
married and they get cheated onand they stay together and
everything works out and it'shappily ever after.
So don't take my advice tooseriously on that.
(16:45):
That's just what I wouldpersonally do.
All right, so that was it forthe questions and advice.
The next I have three gremlinstories that I picked Again.
I still have some sitting in myinbox.
These aren't all the ones thatare left.
If I didn't pick yours, I willget to it.
(17:08):
I'm just like I said last weekI'm still moving slowly.
I think I need like vitamins orI don't know I need.
I need something, we'll see.
Ok.
So the first one she didn'tsign it, so we're going to keep
her anonymous to protect theinnocent.
And she says my local dive baris a couple doors down from
Target.
(17:29):
After one particular night Iwoke up in the Target parking
lot with my mouth tasting likeregret and tequila.
I thought I was going out forone drink, but of course I had
more and was in no condition todrive.
Instead of Ubering home, Idecided to move my car to the
(17:50):
Target parking lot and justsleep there.
I don't know why the Targetparking lot and just sleep there
.
I don't know why.
Since I was already technicallyat the store, I figured I
should go inside and buy somehangover essentials I knew I
didn't have at my house, such aselectrolytes and Tylenol.
But as soon as I took a fewsteps away from my car, I
(18:10):
immediately threw up all overthe ground.
I couldn't muster up thestrength to be embarrassed.
I just needed to get in and getout.
I have no idea if anyone saw me.
I just kept my head down andkept going.
I threw up a couple more timesin the Target restrooms and then
proceeded to gather what Ineeded and head home.
(18:32):
I spent the rest of the daycurled in bed and wondered if I
would be able to go back to thatTarget or if I should just give
up on life.
I ended up going back a fewdays later.
Because Target is life, oh mygod.
Because Target is life, girl, Ibefore Target did all their
(18:58):
fucking DEI bullshit.
I thought Target was life too.
I fucking love a great Targetrun.
I would go there thinking Ineed I don't know shampoo and I
would leave you know $500 laterbecause Target told me what I
needed to buy.
I fucking love Target too, butI digress Throwing up in a
(19:23):
parking lot.
When I read that I was like, hmm, have I ever done that?
And then I was horrified toremember I had, and it was a
story that I kind of likesuppressed down, but it was
seven, almost seven, I don'tknow.
Six and a half years ago, sevenyears ago.
(19:44):
But it was the first trip thatI had taken with my boyfriend
and we just did kind of like athree day getaway.
I was terrified to go on thisweekend trip with him.
I was terrified to go on thisweekend trip with him.
I don't know why, maybe becauseI cared so much, but I was so
nervous to go I almost canceled.
(20:06):
We were just I live in LosAngeles we were just going to go
down to San Diego.
It's like a two and a half hourtrip.
We were going to go just like,stay at a hotel, go out, and
then the main thing was we weregoing to go to the zoo.
It wasn't the San Diego Zoo, itwas the San Diego Wildlife Park
(20:26):
, so that was like our main goalof the trip.
Again, I was so terrified to go.
I don't know why, but I go, I'mterrified.
The whole ride there I'm, likeyou know, kind of like shaking
and like nervous and likeclicking my nails together.
We eventually check into thehotel and he asked me oh, what
do you want to do tonight?
(20:47):
And I'm like I need a drinkbecause your girl needed a drink
.
So we go out to.
I should have asked him before.
I don't know if we went to theGaslamp District or if we went
to Old Town one of the two butwe go and we find this fun
tequila bar.
This is back when I used todrink tequila on the regular and
(21:11):
we had copious amounts oftequila.
I don't remember going back tothe hotel.
I was obviously a goddamn mess.
And I wake up the next morningand this man who has apparently
never had a hangover in his life, because God favors him, he's
all up and at him and ready togo and he's like all right, you
(21:31):
ready to go to the zoo.
Blah, blah, blah.
And I'm, like you know,fighting for my life, like all
right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I, I shower, I get dressedand I'm like all right, I think
I'm good, like I'm good to go.
I didn't know that driving tothe wildlife park was going down
a winding road.
That's just like twists andturns and twists and turns and
I'm not someone who gets carsick easily, but I think I was
(21:54):
already on the edge.
We finally get to the parkinglot and I'm like feeling it.
I'm like I don't think this isgoing to be a good idea.
I tell him I don't feel goodand he's like okay, as soon as
we park the car and get out andyou're on stable ground, you're
going to feel fine.
I was like, okay, yeah, like Ibelieved him.
So get out of the car.
(22:15):
And I'm like okay, do feelbetter, we take I don't know
like three car lengths ofwalking.
And I was just like, oh, my god.
And I ran in between two randomcars luckily they were trucks,
so they were big and no onecould really see me and I just
absolutely like threw up my souland I was horrified.
(22:36):
I so embarrassed, not like hehadn't seen me thrown up before
because, like I said, we hadknown each other for like four
years prior to dating but I wasjust like, oh my God, and he was
like, are you okay?
Like he obviously looked at me,like I was like I don't know on
death's door and I was like,yeah, like I do feel better.
So I do think I like threw upthe last part of any sickness
(23:01):
and I felt fine the rest of theday and we got me some crackers,
we got me 7-Up, we got me gumbecause, ew, I had just like
thrown up and it was disgusting,but we did have a great time
that day.
So I have thrown up in aparking lot.
Um, I have since not been backto the wildlife park, although
(23:22):
nobody else knew.
I do feel bad for the peoplewho had to go to their car and
hopefully they didn't step in itbecause ewies, but yeah,
anonymous or unsigned, I feel ya.
But yeah, also the fact thatyou were so hungover and you
found your way into the Target,I think I might have just like
(23:45):
slept there and like in my car,not in the Target, I would just
slept there and, you know,waited till I felt a little bit
better and then you had to drivehome.
Ew, yeah, no, terrible,terrible day, but you know, life
goes on All right.
The next one is from Macy.
Macy says this is a story frommy youth.
(24:08):
For reference, I come from asmall Midwestern town where
there's nothing to do, and thistakes place all the way back in
1995.
And this takes place all theway back in 1995.
It was June and my friend Lexiand I were at the end of a
school year party with most ofthe graduating class.
We were juniors.
Of course there was a ton ofunderage drinking that we were
(24:32):
taking part in and everyone wasgetting rowdy.
After many beers, lexi and Idecided we wanted to play a
prank on her ex-boyfriend,another junior who was at the
party, kissing another girl.
No, not okay.
We decided to gather as manyeggs as we could find and egg
his prized possession, his car.
(24:54):
So we did.
We walked straight from theparty and absolutely covered his
car.
We giggled the entire way backto my house and kept laughing
about it until we passed out.
The next morning we got up likenothing happened because at
that age hangovers don't exist,right, and just went about our
(25:15):
day enjoying the sunshine.
We had no idea that the eggwould cook into the paint of the
car.
Needless to say, he wasdevastated when he saw his car,
but he never figured out who didit.
Thank God we didn't have socialmedia and ring cameras or we
would have definitely gottencaught.
(25:36):
I had so much fun reliving thepast and those were definitely
my wild times.
I have some more stories towrite in if you would like.
Much love, macy.
Okay, first of all, yes, macy,please keep writing in all your
crazy stories.
If anyone has sent in somethingthat's already been read and
you still have more, it's notlike a one and done on this,
(25:59):
please send them all in Macy.
If you want, you can just sendme like an essay of all of them
and I'll just read them like oneby one sporadically.
So keep sending those in Macy.
I want to hear all about your1995 adventures.
In 95, I was a child.
I don't even want to say howold I was because I already feel
(26:23):
old.
Anyway, I was two, but actuallyin June of 95 I wasn't even two
.
So you know, look at me beingso young.
But I have never eggedsomeone's like house or car or
like teepeed somebody's house.
I just I wasn't like that inhigh school and yeah, that's
just like not something that,like myself and like my little
(26:47):
friend group did Like we weren't, like we weren't partiers, we
weren't like drinking a ton ordoing this or that, we were like
pretty docile and chill.
I apparently decided to gremlinout in my early 20s and haven't
stopped since.
But teenage me was a quietlittle mouse, so I've never done
that, and not that I would wantto today, because I don't want
(27:09):
to like ruin someone else'sproperty.
I think that's like bad karma.
But I do kind of feel like Imissed out at one point and I
obviously can't do it now,because one terrible.
And two like it would be soembarrassing to be arrested for
egging someone's property.
Like that's a, that's a kidcrime, that's a child crime.
And the first time I ever getarrested I mean knock on wood,
(27:32):
oh God, there's no wood.
Hopefully I don't ever getarrested.
But like it can't be forsomething so stupid as egging a
person's house or their car.
Also, I do know that eggs ruincar paint, so, but I can imagine
at age 15, you guys didn't knowthat.
So poor guy, I mean you knowwhat?
At the same time he shouldn'thave been kissing somebody in
(27:55):
front of his ex-girlfriend.
So that's that All right.
And last gremlin story she saysoh, this is from Nicole.
She says I accidentally ruinedsomeone's proposal.
So my ex-boyfriend and I wereday drinking at the boardwalk
and while we were walking downto the beach we saw someone set
up a ton of flowers with a litup sign saying will you marry me
(28:18):
?
I looked at it and looked athim and said, oh my God really.
We both laughed because I knewit wasn't for me.
This guy would have neverthought of ever buying me a ring
.
But our drunken selves decidedwe should take selfies with the
display.
Oh God.
Unfortunately, while we werefalling over each other to do so
(28:39):
, the couple who it was actuallyset up for came walking up.
A few people were shooing usaway angrily.
As the girl who was about toget proposed to looked confused,
we ran away and just keptwalking away in embarrassment
but laughing simultaneously.
I really hope they have awonderful life together.
(29:00):
By the way, my ex was garbage,so maybe that was my karma.
Anyway, thanks for listening,nicole.
I have no story for this.
I've never ruined someone'sproposal.
I don't think I've ever beenaround somebody who's gotten
engaged.
Actually, now that I thinkabout it, I don't think I've
ever witnessed with my eyes aproposal.
(29:23):
Yeah, so I don't have any storyfor this, I just thought it was
funny.
And you said walking or daydrinking at the boardwalk.
What boardwalk?
Where are you from?
Let me know.
I'm curious to know.
Also, my boyfriend I havere-watching and binging Jersey
Shore and then after that,jersey Shore family vacation.
(29:44):
So when you said boardwalk andthen you sign your name, nicole,
I was like, oh my god, it'sSnooki.
I know it's not Snooki, butstill let me know, nicole, where
you're from and what boardwalkyou are talking about.
And if it is the Jerseyboardwalk, how coincidental.
Alright, guys, so that is it.
This was again a kind of amashup of an episode.
(30:05):

Let me know what kind ofcontent you guys are wanting or
like what you like the most.

you just have like questionsabout I don't know life
(30:28):

gave me one star.
