Yeah but it's not easy foreverybody to say it and
sometimes people need these daysto say the things they want to
say.
So I think I love that.
It's an opportunity to sharefeelings with others.

just about love and being in arelationship, but it's like
being grateful for yourfriendship.

She found me crying in thecloset.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
I did.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
I did.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
I regretted it.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
That's what it was.
It was the broom closet.
Yeah, it was so dark.
I fucking hate you.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
It was so dark.
Baby girl, come back here.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Baby girl.
You never call the baby girl.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
You're so bullshit.
In that moment you had to.
Yeah, I was so distraught andmy makeup was like running that
I had to be pulled out of there.
Baby girl, come here.
And then she went and took meand bought me some dinner.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
I did.
I bought her a steak dinner Toomuch.
Oh my gosh, just kidding.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Why do you guys?

Speaker 3 (11:33):
think people hate Valentine's Day.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I think it's a reminder that they're alone,
that you're single here, thatyou're single, You're single but
that doesn't mean, you're alone, I guess yeah, but like the
partner me and Ryan, I guess itdepends on how you're seeing
that time of your life.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
If you're single, right.
If you're actively being in astate of despair and pain, then
that reminder that other peoplehave somebody who loves them,
it's obviously hurtful.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, that's true, I think when I was like 30, 30, 34
, that was single.
It's like, ok, I'll just figureout how to celebrate
Valentine's Day in a differentway, because I just really
believed that it was not goingto be for me.
So it was just like, OK, I'llparty with my friends that are
single.
Hell yeah, we did party.

(12:22):
We did party.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
We did party pretty hard.
I mean, if you can do that doit.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, Change your.
I think changing your way oflooking at that day, it's a good
skill.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
It's a holiday that has been very commercialized.
Yes, it does have some sort ofvillages background to it, but
it's a holiday that's been verycommercialized.
It would be like a day whereyou spend money.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Like fucking capitalism, exactly.
Gosh.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Capitalism has ruined Valentine's Day.
It's ruined everything.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Sorry, you wanted to start this, didn't you?

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Sorry for anyone who's listening and just got
their ears destroyed by that.
You're welcome.
We apologize, I don't.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Anyways it's become like a very commercialized
holiday.
So don't feel too bad.
It's being pushed down ourthroat, you know it's.
It can be a small gesture, itcan be a good small gesture, it
can be a huge gesture.
But like, be mindful, word ofthe week, word of the week Again

(13:32):
, a game, a game, you got to sayit like that.
Anyways, it's being pushed downour throats, it's being like
commercialized, it's being, youknow, yeah it's all over.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know like anything that's being pushed
down your throat, obviously.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
And I think we should be aware I'm going to skip
right over that.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
And Valentine's Day.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
And Valentine's, a lot of these activities.
Take that, I'm like anyway,anyways, it's getting hot in
here.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
No, no, no but like can you open the window?

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Don't feel too bad about this going on in your life
right now yeah you're lonelythe rest of the year.
Oh gosh.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
I actually did see a meme.
It's like don't be sad thatnobody likes you on Valentine's
Day.
Nobody likes you any other dayof the year.
So sad.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
It's so sad.
So I think that's the mentalitysome individuals may take.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
I think it's a good thing to think about friendships
though, like if you don't havea partner, maybe you have
friendships.
Or if you have your parents, orif you have like grandparents
or wherever you have that youcan celebrate that relationship
with.
It's like a good opportunity todo that, I think.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, I'm going to share how.
But when I was really singleand she knew like I was
struggling with it, she used tosend me little Valentine's
flower pictures on my phone andshe always wished me happy.
Valentine's.
Day she would make me specialdinners, and like she always
tried to treat me extra well sothat I didn't feel lonely, and

Learn to move on.
Jeez, I get you saying no, butthat's a good perspective.
Like yes, it could be verymemorable in a good way and in
also a good way, but about,about proposals.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
I don't think so.
I think they have to be thereseparately For me.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, I don't think.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I would mind.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
I think, yeah, yeah, I guess it would be cute.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
I mean, I wouldn't say no, Obviously no do it
tomorrow, the 15th.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
I don't want it to be on a ballot.
How?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
dare you.
Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
I just hope that it doesn't feel like forced for
people to spend a lot of moneyon this day.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
You shouldn't have to spend a lot of money on this.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, I think you can like even write something out
by a card, or even just write anote.
That could be super special.
Like we were saying, just evenbuy it If you want to buy
something, like one rose.
You don't have to go like andspend money that you don't have.
Exactly Especially that try toimpress someone because that's
not the reality of you.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
You're showing something different, so they're
getting something that's notreally you and the other
individual shouldn't be, I guess, asking for too much, or but I
don't mean that in a way of likenot being able to ask for
things, but like they, if youknow this person, if you know
the other individual, like youshould know their limits in a
way and don't ask for too muchIf you know that they can't give

(20:58):
you a lot.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
but I mean I think in our first season we talked
about love languages and howimportant it was to love
languages.
And I think, like learning thepeople you hang around with
their love language will helpyou or give you like a little
bit of a heads up on, like giftsand stuff and, like you were
saying, if you can afford, likeflowers or shiny flowers to work

(21:22):
because it can be expensive.
Yeah, so like you can clean upthe house because some people
love acts of service you cancook a dinner.
You can.
What did you say?
Clean it right, I have no.
You can give, like, make, craft, something, like you know,

(21:44):
there's so many things that areso meaningful that you don't
have to spend too much money on.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, so one day somebody wrote a song for me.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Oh, and then I realized that it was a the
bookie song.
Oh, plagiarism.
Not only that, but like atleast for me.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
The book is like dude , it was so funny.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yeah, that's not my thing.
They literally told you.
They wrote that song for youyeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
What song was it?

Speaker 2 (22:13):
I don't remember it anymore, it was just really
funny.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, for a guy.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
The average Valentine's Day gift giver
spends nearly $200 onValentine's Day gifts and
goodies for about 26 billionoverall 26 billion industry.
Yeah, you don't have to worryabout spending too much.
It's being taken care of byother individuals.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Just do nice things for each other.
Do you guys have?

Speaker 2 (22:44):
any expectations if you're in a relationship, or
would you care if you didn't getanything?

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Oh, I would definitely care.
Yeah, I would throw a fit, saysthe person that just said,
don't ask for too much.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Know what the other individual has and doesn't have.
I would throw a fit.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
If you don't get anything, you wouldn't say
something like nothing, not evenif they didn't ask you to be
your Valentine's, Like I'mthinking from that perspective,
like if they just completelyignored it and it's just another
day, but you're with yourpartner.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I think I would be heard and like a little bothered
and you would have no.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
But because I save my fit for other things.
But you never give me a thought.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Anyway, I told you from the closet Exactly.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
That's a whole different story.
That was a birthday fit.
Birthdays are more importantthan Valentine's.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
That's what I'm saying and I got your flowers
for your birthday.
You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
But you didn't take them to my work.
You're welcome Anyway no, Ithink I would be hurt.
So, yeah, I also think you haveto have like a good line of
communication, like you can'texpect your partner to be like
like know everything you want oryou need.
Like you know, are youexpecting?

(24:16):
Like are you guys going to makesomething out of this holiday?
Are you going to work togethertowards it?
Are we going to be the kind ofcouples that don't celebrate?
Like you have to communicateyour expectations and then if
you communicated yourexpectations and he's still, or
they still show up with nothing,then you address it.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Then yeah, they can throw it.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Thanks for the coaching that kind of reminds me
of.
That's actually a great pointto bring up because that reminds
me of I don't know if you guyssaw this video on that this lady
has never had their stockingfilled up from their husband and
she fills them up for herhusband and her children and I'm
like, okay, yeah, that feelsawful, but like you also never

(24:59):
told them to, there was nocommunication.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
I feel like if it's there and nobody's like
everybody's seeing it, but,nobody's taking care of it.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
That's a different story.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
That's kind of like a punch in the face.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
I feel like that's just being kind, like your wife
does all these things for youand your kids and you.
How have you not noticed thatshe, her stuff, is never like,
but there's nothing ever in hersLike?
How have you managed to spendall this time with her and not?

Speaker 3 (25:30):
notice that Right.
Like oh, she might need somehair ties.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Let me put them even if that you know, or chocolate
would probably be happy withanything at this point Exactly
yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Anything's better than nothing.
Yeah, but that's a differentperspective.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
But I mean, if you spend that much time, yeah,
different holiday too, but Iwould step after the first year.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
I'd be like well where the couple that doesn't
give each other anything thentake everything down.
I'll give stuff to the kids.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Return everything Amazon.
Here you go.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Refuse the delivery of stuff.
I think it out of here.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Yeah that While most people send out nice messages
for holiday, Victorian era folkssometimes use Valentine's to
turn down a suitor called avinegar Valentine.
Oh, I do like it, but I hopethat never happened.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Have you ever said no to someone who asked you to be
their Valentine?

Speaker 1 (26:33):
No, I never really got asked to be anybody's
Valentine.
Oh no, I'm so sad.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
I mean my husband did ask me.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah, before him yeah .

Speaker 1 (26:45):
So I couldn't turn anyone down.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Otherwise I would have have you guys seen the
videos where like there'sflowers or like the big teddy
bears in the trash can, wherethat's so sad.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Probably like the guys who have been turned down.
I know I hate that.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
But also, you can't say yes just because no you
shouldn't.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
You.
Can I take the presents?
That's not your.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Valentine.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
No, that's no.
That's why why he's alreadyspent the money.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Don't go away.
I would even name the teddybear after you.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
She would have a collection of teddy bears and
this one is, and this and thisman.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
No, I'm just kidding, I would never do that, yeah.
But I totally understand liketurning them down If you're not
going to feel anything towardsthem.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah, I think it's sad.
But also, what else can you do?
Like, yeah, it's the fuckingsucks, but you're not going to
say yes just because you don'twant him to feel bad.
That's, I think that's worse.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yeah Cause, then you like have to break the news that
you only said yes because youdon't want to embarrass.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Right teddy bear.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
It's because the teddy bear and the flowers were
like real muchones and I reallywanted them.
Whoa, and that changeseverything, but never mind.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Wait a minute, do you ?

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yes, I'll put it right now, while you give your
answer.
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
OK, so a ramo buchón is an extravagant show of
appreciation with flowers,chocolates, in a very large
manner, and it may be seen.
Yep, he sees it now.
Can I see the picture too?

Speaker 2 (33:15):
They're just huge right, that's it, it's very.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
It's like the size of a girl, yeah, and you've
probably seen it on social mediawhen these girls are holding a
huge bouquet.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Girls are huge, that's what you heard.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
These girls are.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
The girls are holding a huge bouquet of flowers, also
known as buchón because of itssize.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
It's extravagant, but in general the word buchón just
means somebody.
That's very extravagant, right.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Yeah, it could be seen.
I'm thinking borderline tacky.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah, not borderline, like really tacky.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Not there for me but almost, but like almost, not
there, though Not there.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Almost.
Are you serious, like not thereNot?
There, oh my gosh, I'm shockedthat you both said that, but,
like almost, I think it's allthe way.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
No, but that's appreciated, but almost is
appreciated because like they'regoing the extra mile, it may
not be super cute.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
But they always are cute though.
But yes, that's true, they arealways cute, so it has to be
cute.
It has to be cute.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
So it's just a little bit more than you would expect.
And receiving that would beamazing.
And not only that, I want thecarne asada.
I want a buchón carne asada.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Extra, just Everything.
Extra Extra carne, extravegetables, tortillas.

Speaker 3 (34:51):

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Exactly Like a whole tub of guacamole and some carne
Okay.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Okay, que me recojen en la camineta buschona.
Pick me up in your lifted truck, in your buschon truck.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Escalator.
Do they still use this spinningwheel?
Is that what you're looking for?

Speaker 3 (35:19):
No, that's not buschon.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
That's more like gangsta.
Yeah, exactly, she needs thecamineta with the big lifts.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
Yo quiero la chiva, la chiva y el helero.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
To go to the chicle.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
La chiva y el helero Lifted buschona.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Just for a bit though .

Speaker 2 (35:41):
So they're gonna return it no because he's a
buschon.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
He might have another car.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
Exactly, he's gonna have two vehicles or three.
What else?
Una serenata buschona, Ah conbanda o norteño, mi norteño, yo
sería norteño.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
I would like a norteño banda, una banda o
mariachi.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Mi mariachi would do it too.
Mariachi can always do it, I'mgonna do it.
Somebody gave me a margaritaearlier.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
So blame me on them.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Anyway mariachi, mariachi banda norteña.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
whatever you want, Lo que sea, mientras que sea
serenata.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Whatever it is, as long as es esa serenata.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
De un trio De un trio , de donde they're kind of po-.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
You guys are terrible .
Es de música, wey De músicaamigas Los slávidos.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
no, I feel like trios are kind of boring.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
They sing whatever you want, don't they?

Speaker 1 (36:44):
They sing whatever you want.
No, I feel like the music theysing is usually sad.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
That's why I was asking, because I don't know if
that would be a good serenatavibe.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
I thought it was just more like they bring three
individuals, three differentinstruments and then they sing
whatever you want them to.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
I thought that was my perspective about the video.
Whatever you want them to do.
Titi me preguntó.
I didn't go to the chat, though.
Yes.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
I hope they don't sing that one.
No, but I have a say no mybushon date.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Fuck, no, come, come, and I have a date please.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Okay, hold on, hold on what would be the perfect
serenata song for your bushon.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
What would be?

Speaker 1 (37:24):
That's such a great question.
I'm thinking.
I'm thinking Amor.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Confuso de Gerard.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Ortiz, that used to be my jam when I was younger.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Mine is still.
I can see it in you.
Si nos dejan dejos elconocimiento?

Speaker 1 (37:40):
I don't know, I have to think about it Something by.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Vicente.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Fernández, I'm thinking.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
I thought you were going to say Carine León.
How could I forget?

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Carine León I'm trying to redo his.
Like.
You know how it doesn't work, Ican't do it.
I just want to remind you ofhim so you can think of a good
song.
Primerasita I hate the lovesong.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
It's a love song.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
It has a sad ending.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
I don't like happy endings.
Of course she does.
Who gave him a drink?

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Jero is not allowed to give her drinks anymore.
You're blaming them right now.
This is who I am.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
This is who you really are Lesbian, you're right
.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Lesbian You're so dumb, you're so dumb.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Lesbian yeah, lesbian .
You're so stupid you are, oh mygosh.
But yes, that's what I want.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Serenita Wichona.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
Serenita Wichona.
So this is basically like acall to action.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Is what you're doing?
You're sitting there and sayingthis shit.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
You know what?
Why not?
Are we manifesting it?
We are manifesting that themanifestation for the month.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
I just have a lot of questions about your type and
the Bujuan thing Coming fromthat person.
Right, but it's okay, you haveenough friends that can help you
get there.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
And advice Can we just talk about her type for a
second, because I think that'simportant context, or there's a
request that is a good point,because my type is a complete
opposite, so I'm concerned aboutthis, just because Okay, but
like any individual could dothis for their partner.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Right, we can help him out.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, you can look up this I don't want to say trend,
but this lifestyle and kind oflearn from it and try to imitate
it.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Right, so you don't have to be a specific ethnicity.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
To be able to be Bujuan.
You just got to know how tolearn.
You just need to learn to be aBujuan.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Exactly Got it.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
I like skinny white guys.
Good luck with that.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
The complete opposite of an Hispanic.
Bujuan, bujuan, I'm dead.
I think that was my type.
I think that was my type.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
I think that was my type.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
I think that was my concern.
As we went through the list ofthe things she wanted, I was
like Okay, okay, You're like Iam not able to check bucket.
But I mean call to action,manifestation, all the things.
I'm glad you're putting it outthere.
Yeah, it can happen.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
It can happen, you never know.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
You never know.
You never know.
You just should know that ifyou do get a Bujuan to do all
those things for you, they mightask for some.
Some weird things sent backWhoa, I'm not saying just like
they seem pretty intense.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
They do.
I am willing to try anythingonce, okay, well now we know
what a great way to live life.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
I'll try anything once.
Hold on.
I wish I could live life likeyou.
I'm not.
I don't want to try anythingonce.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
I'll just try once.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
I'll try it twice.
Oh my gosh no.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Okay, let's be mindful of the things that you
are requesting yeah, I won't dodrugs.
Right, there's things that Iwouldn't do.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
You have a limit.
There's limits, we got it.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
It's very high.
One drug.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
All the others, never , never, basically.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
But anyways, that is my request from the universe.
I like it.

Let's go back to Valentine'sDay.
Let's go back.
Let's wheel it back in.
Let's go back.
Any advice for Valentine's Daythat you have.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
Try to enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Just make the best of it, even if you get yourself a
gift.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Take yourself out.
How, though?

Speaker 1 (42:38):
No wait, you are laughing at this, but it's such
a good thing to learn to go todinner by yourself.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
I'm thinking way darker.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Take yourself out.
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
No, that's not what I mean.
We're thinking dates and dinner.
Get yourself out on a date byyourself.

Get yourself some flowers.
Nancy is very dark.
But it's fine.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
We're here to rephrase her things.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
No give her more margaritas.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
We should just talk to our listeners and see if they
want an extra margarita or lessmargarita for Nancy.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
I think that's a good idea.
She's got one margarita rightnow.
We should do two.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Next time, let's ask our listeners what do you think
I?

Speaker 2 (43:27):
might start singing.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
Which one are you going to sing?

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Oh man.
Anyway, enjoy your Valentine'sDay and be happy.
