(00:01):
Watch me hide behind this curtain and scare Bryn.
(00:31):
You can really tell I didn't notget ready.
Great. Holy talking.
Oh man, Oh God, but you're like literally about to take a
picture right here. No, I pull it up so I can look
at myself. I've been wanting to do that for
(00:52):
so long. Oh that was awesome.
Rude. We'll.
Just roll right into the intro, you have something in your
teeth. Why would you not tell me that
(01:14):
sooner? How could?
You. I just saw it, sorry.
It's chicken. It's in the hair solo.
Oh, wait, no, it's. From no, it's black on the other
side, I didn't. I get it.
Do you have, like, inventory? Like, what do you mean, like
this is chicken from last week. That's from my salt and vinegar
chips. These are my black pepper.
Why don't you brush your teeth? Oh, I didn't.
(01:35):
Yeah. I don't know if I brush my teeth
today. Did I brush my teeth today?
It smells like garden. You want to smell mine?
Your teeth look clean. Let me see.
Oh my God. Just smelled like garlic and hot
(01:59):
air balloon. That's what that smelled like.
It was just hot. Do you want to kiss me?
It tastes like watermelon. It does not taste like
watermelon. It does.
No. Yeah, it really does.
Look, see, it even says watermelon.
Your breath smelt like the alleythat Batman's parents were shot
in. What?
Oh, you're telling me to taste my taste it?
(02:22):
Watermelon. Yeah.
This is the flavor saver. See that?
Isn't it good? See how that works?
Are you going to do the intro orI'm like, I've been waiting for
so long. Oh my gosh, I'm sorry you guys
are still here. No, I'm just welcome to the
Pretty Funny podcast. I'm Mario.
And I'm Bryn. And we have a hell of a episode
for you guys. We're very, very excited.
Oh, go ahead, I. Was just gonna say tell them.
(02:43):
What we're doing. Oh.
Really do it. Just tell them.
Just tell. Them once again have recordings
to listen to. You guys loved episode 12 few
episodes ago where we responded to your guys's voice memos about
your worst first dates and dating horrific stories.
And so we have a lot more of them and we wanted to continue
going so we can consider this Part 2.
(03:05):
Before we start though, I have some questions for you guys and
some things that I wanted to talk about real quick because
we've been gaming, OK? I think this year, between
2024-2025, literally since we'vebeen together, I've done more
gaming than I ever have my entire existence of being alive.
Same. Like we did a lot of we never
had online gameplay growing up. It was always like local and
(03:29):
like multiplayer. It was just like, yeah, yeah.
If we were playing Call of Duty,we weren't playing like online.
Yeah, we were just playing like.One-on-one, me and my brother in
shipment with shotguns only likethat was like or like Halo and
all those like multiplayer gun games.
Yeah, but nowadays there's a lotmore.
Like Fortnite is the best example that you.
Like, yeah, but like, within thelast year, I had a PS4 for a
(03:52):
long time, and it was basically just my DVD player.
I played the Arkham games on it.Like, I didn't really do much
gaming at all. Yeah.
And then I bought a Nintendo Switch.
Yes. Because everybody at work was
playing Mario Kart, and my name's Mario, and I suck at all
those games, and I haven't played them enough to be good.
I played on the Game Boy growingup, bought a Nintendo switch and
(04:14):
then Bryn got me APS 5 for my birth that.
Was for Christmas. It wasn't for my birth.
No, that was for Christmas. Really.
Yeah. Oh, wow.
I don't even. We went way too hard giving each
other gifts. Yeah.
Oh, and when you guys are watching this episode, next week
is my birthday. Yeah, next week's episode.
Oh, this is actually rolling right?
OK, perfect. Good thing we're actually
(04:37):
talking about this. Yes.
Did we borderline love bomb eachother?
I don't think it was in a love bombing way because I feel like
love bomb obviously has a lot ofnegative connotation.
Yeah, we were just doing a lot for each other because we were
very excited about each other and it kind of almost felt like
love bombing, but it never was. I know that we both were very,
very passionate, year one of us together and that really like
(04:57):
bled into gift giving. It was my first time ever buying
a boyfriend gifts. Really.
Yeah, 'cause most of my relationships were so short and
never crossed like Christmas or anything.
No, I, I, I managed to get my exgirlfriends gifts 'cause we were
together during birthdays and stuff, but I had never bought an
A boy like a boyfriend boyfriendboy ever.
(05:20):
No. You did so good.
Yeah, thank you. I worked really hard on it.
I was like really, really tapping into everything that I
know about you. The same way you have a notes
list for me, I have one for you.You do.
Yeah, I updated all the time. I've updated it twice today.
Oh yeah, the key to a healthy, happy relationship is the Notes
app. Yeah, like that is my number one
(05:42):
app is the Notes app. The amount of notes.
In my app and I have a Brin folder.
I have like Halloween costumes like I have anything you could
possibly imagine. It's in my notes app.
Like I just use it for everything.
Notes app and every time you saythat you like something I just
put it in my notes app. I feel like we both are very,
very, very attentive and we pay attention to each other a lot.
(06:02):
And so when it comes time for gifts, it's almost a no.
It is a competition. Yeah, I was competing with.
You a little bit. So this year we decided that we
are putting a cap, a spending cap on our gift giving for
birthdays for each other becausewe can still get.
A lot of presents it's. Not a small cap either, but like
we need to make sure that we're because I think we also not even
(06:23):
in a competitive way, but like we do almost try to outdo each
other. Yeah, and I'm fearful for the
day that people actually go backand calculate old because we
posted old. We posted pretty much all of
them because I like doing halls and like my man halls and stuff.
And so every time we've had an anniversary, a birthday, a
holiday, something celebratory, yeah, we've like done a video
being like, oh, this is what I got, Brandon, this is what I
(06:44):
got. Well.
You at one point, and this is keep in mind, this is not us
bragging. This is just us kind of saying
almost in a way that we have a problem, a serious problem, a
spending problem. You were talking last year and
this year about getting me a hottub for my birthday.
Yeah. Do you know how much hot tubs
cost? Well, that's the thing.
I don't know how much anything costs at all in my brain.
(07:05):
How much? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Let me guess. Let me guess.
Let me guess. Well, I just said it, but.
$2020.00 You mean just like filling up a Kitty we can just
fill? Up the get one of the plastic
ones. Let's fill up a Kitty pole with
some boiling water. How much do you think the hot
tubs cost? Just like a normal hot tub.
(07:27):
Like a basic hot tub. Yeah.
Light jets a cover above ground.Like a six or an 8 seater.
You know, like a square. The water's going to overlap the
sides because it doesn't seat enough people.
Your knees. Might like brush up against.
Everyone gets out of this tub and it's like halfway empty, you
know what I'm saying? How expensive do you think that
(07:47):
is? 2 Grand $2000.
Are you serious? Is it more it can't two 2500
bucks? I don't know you.
Mean 2. 1000 have you bought? How many you bought?
A lot of hot tubs. No, but you talked about them
and I looked them up because I was like, how much is he going
to be spending on my birthday? What?
(08:07):
Wait, what? Low key.
How much does a hot tub cost on average?
How much? Average hot tub cost between
5000 and $18,000. Yeah, what?
Yeah. No way.
Yeah. Really.
Also, this is AI, but look at this.
Look at this fire pit hot tub. Yeah, that would just boil it.
(08:30):
I like soup. You want a bee soup?
Kinda what when I was little andI would eat oatmeal for
breakfast. I would convince myself that a
witch had kidnapped me and was holding me hostage and I'm like
Mystic cabin in the woods and I was being forced to eat
porridge. No, like honestly, who do I
(08:57):
call? What do I?
That was out of nowhere, wasn't it?
What was that? Wait, No, hold on.
Wait. What?
Should I be concerned? Is this hold on, Hold on.
Is this early onset? What is this?
Am I going to be building her a house with a porch that wraps
over on the back? Am I going to be reading her
life to her? Wait.
(09:17):
Because we were talking at the. When you're in the nursing home,
we were. Talking about a human soup and I
feel like that's something that a witch would do.
Think like Hansel and Gretel, like she wants to eat them.
Oh, because in the hot tub we could be human soup.
Yeah. Oh, so we were talking about hot
tubs, and then that reminded youof human soup.
(09:38):
And then with human soup, you thought of cauldrons and
witches. And with cauldrons and witches,
you thought about to your childhood when you would eat
oatmeal and then you would imagine it was porridge and your
mother scampering about the kitchen cleaning everything was
like the witch holding you hostage or you.
Just like I can't say. Anything about my mom?
Are you calling my mom a witch? No.
Anyways, OK, they're a little bit more.
(09:59):
Yeah, no. And I remember you saying that
and I was like, fuck, do I got to spend that much on you?
You should not in a bad way. I would love to.
I love like I don't make like enough to comfortably.
Do Well, we're not getting a hot.
You're not getting a hot tub foryour birthday now.
No, because we do. That's like $300.00 from Costco.
That could be. Yeah, OK.
(10:22):
My brother and my sister will have one and it's fun, except
when the three of us are in there.
It is like our kneecaps. Are off the inflatable Costco
hot tub. I'm very aware of the fact that
I'm in an inflatable hot tub with.
My brother and my sister, we canmake like our first YouTube
video, like trying out the Costco.
It'd be fun. Inflatable hot tub.
How are we going to inflate it? I don't that'd be part of the
(10:42):
video. That'll be what do we do?
Like we just open it and we justlike the air should go in at
some point, might take a couple hours.
I guess just wait for it to get windy.
Like, hey, we've been. I could see us trying to go like
a grocery bag trying to. There's those bag, those seats
(11:04):
that people use for like festivals or concerts or
whatever. And it's like the tube and you
like do that and you like run with it or you like do the thing
and then it like turns into a seat.
I could see you taking the garden hose and like putting it
up to the hole for the air and like filling up the hot tub.
But wouldn't it technically workif it was filled with water
instead of air? Would it?
(11:27):
Wait, The Jets? How do The Jets work?
They don't have jets on the inflatable hot tub.
They do. No, they don't.
Are you sure? We suck at Googling stuff, hold
on it. Was literally the 1st.
There's no jets on the Tesco inflatable. 10 Best Inflatable
hot Tub with seats and jets Yeah, they do.
(11:49):
OK. Yes, inflatable hot tubs
typically have jets. These jets are usually ear jets
that create bubbles and provide a gentle massage.
While some inflatable hot tubs might have a few water jets,
they are not as powerful or numerous as in traditional hard
shell hot tubs. I've been in one.
(12:10):
No, I want to dry my mouth out with a Ritz cracker.
What do you imagine when you're eating a Ritz cracker?
That you're back in the CatholicChurch eating the body of Christ
or something like what is your. What do I imagine when I eat a
Ritz? It makes me think of like, being
on the streets of like King's Landing and Game of Thrones, you
know what I mean? And it's like you just get a
(12:31):
little crumb of some good royal bread.
I do like to go salt side down on the tongue and kind of suck
it off a little bit sometimes. I would like to die and what the
fuck was that? What have you noticed?
Did you just Deep Throat a fucking risk her?
What are you hold on. What are you doing with this?
Just give it back. What do you have you ever
(12:52):
noticed? I like to go South side down and
then lick it and suck and then choke out Who the hell lick you
suck? What?
Who is this have? You ever noticed what I do with
my Doritos and or Pringles? No.
I lick all of the seasoning off and.
Then I just eat it. It tastes like it's already
(13:13):
there. You're still going to get the.
Later. No, it's kind of like 2 treats
in one if I do it my way, because then I I lick it all and
it's almost like a savory lollipop.
Yeah. And then I just get a chip.
Yeah, I just like that. OK, I can see that.
Just eat. What do you Brynn, stop?
(13:34):

There's more than one cracker. Stop put.
OK all times. The crackers in her mouth.
(14:20):
Can we put a sense you have cracker in your hair?
Fellas? It doesn't matter how hot she
is. You understand me?
You might look at a woman and she's a 10 out of 10.
She's a goddess, she's a sexy siren sorceress.
She's a Gucci. Gorgeous, amazing, talented,
(14:42):
scrumdiddly, delectable, walkingwork of art, right?
And you look at her and you're so intimidated.

Whole. New The Little Mermaid one.
(17:01):
That is Little Mermaid. Whole new world.
Wait. I was like mad.
Oh, wait. Part of your world.
What would I give? If I could live out of these
waters? What would I pay?
Just to spend a day warm on the sand.
(17:26):
Bet you on land they understand.Bet they don't reprimand their
daughters. Bright young women.
Anyways, with full ADH high definition D there for a minute
we were just trying to talk about that.
We've been gaming a lot recentlyand I've watched Bryn's gaming
(17:48):
journey literally start from placing 9th to 12th in every
series of Mario karts to now going neck and neck with me
every single race. And you've you've been playing
Fortnite this Star Wars season pass still around?
If they don't bring back Battlefront 3, Do you know about
the Battlefront games? You've told me about them.
(18:10):
OK, well, I was gonna say, can Igive you my actual, like, whole
gaming history? When I was younger, I would play
Halo with my brother. I didn't one morning and he
threw a screwdriver through my door.
It was really fun. And then I would play a lot of
Wii. I would play like Girls Go games
online. Never heard of any of this.
It's with like brats in Myspace and not Myspace.
My scene dolls. Anyway, I would play a lot of
(18:31):
online games like Webkinz and Star Doll.
Oh my God, no. I swear to God, there's going to
be girls out there that know about Star Doll.
And it is it was. She is everything.
Yeah. And then we have like Club
Penguin and all that stuff too. But yeah, I would play a lot of
WE and then as I got older, still would play a lot of WE And
(18:52):
then in college I would play like jackpot games, Jack Jack
Box, Jack Box games. Got a posi right there because
Jack Box games go hard. You want to talk about a data
leak? If literally Jack Box games, if
you've played, if you know, you know.
Wait till the day our foreign adversaries get a hold of the
(19:14):
Jack Box TV data and they leak all the horrific things we've
all said on that game. If you played that game, you're
you're nervous right now, OK, Because I don't think enough
people are talking about that orI've ever thought about that.
Jack Box TV is the funniest shitof all time.
Though I will say Oh my God thatmight be one of the best gaming
(19:37):
experiences. Though if you don't know what
Jack Box TV is, great sponsor. If you'd ever want to be sponsor
us Jack Box TV. If you have 3 to 12 friends and
you all get together and download Jack Box TV.
You're going to have the best night of your life.
I'm like Jack. Well this is your one free plug
Jack box from now on. Well, the more you know your
(19:58):
friends too like the more fun it.
Oh yeah, it's just just start playing it.
You'll catch on quickly. It's not even drinking games,
but it's like when you're havinga house party and you're hanging
out with friends and it's. It's like a cop.
Drunk it is, it's fun. A Jack Box TV is just a bunch of
prompts that are very like reminiscent of Family Feud or
What's the Other. Game.
(20:18):
They have a whole bunch of different types of games.
There's like trivia ones, there's ones where you have to
draw, there's just there's a whole bunch of different kinds.
I think the most popularized is Quiplash, where it's kind of
like Cards Against Humanity. It's whose line is it anyways?
Cards Against Humanity, but. You write your own answers.
All combined into one. Yeah, and it is the most, it's
super easy to catch on to it. This could be an ad read.
This is like I love Jackbox. I know we just got to move on
(20:40):
from. Yeah, I watched one of my good
guy friends play Fortnite a lot in college too.
And that's how I got like reallyinto Fortnite.
No. And then I just kept playing Wii
and then I kind of like, forgot about gaming a little bit until
I started dating you. And I was.
So do you remember how scared I was to play Mario Kart with you?
Yeah, I used to be really bad with joysticks in any.
(21:01):
I just don't think you were familiar with it and you just
needed to play. And.
Like yeah, and I anybody can play video games if you have 0
experience or you're a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a they
friend and you're watching somebody game in your house in
your life, like how quickly you could pick up on it and learn.
(21:22):
It seems very overwhelming, verydaunting.
But you're a testament to this because you are neck and neck
with me in Mario Kart after maybe a month.
And I am a very, very competitive, competitive,
determined person. So if I know that I'm not good
at using joysticks, I'm not gonna do it.
And that's how my mindset what? Listen, hold on, let me do this,
(21:49):
let me do this. Listen, ladies might not be good
with joysticks, but let me tell you, if you lock in and you play
as hard as you can and do anything you said to your mind
too. I'm Bryn Marie and this is the
Gaming Channel. The people in the comments are
going to flame you for being mean to me.
May the Fourth came and went andthen they dropped like that Star
(22:10):
Wars Fortnite thing, you know? And then that got me back into
it. And I don't know if there's
anybody even talking about it. I'm not in the gaming community
like that. Like, I don't watch streamers.
We've been debating whether we should Twitch stream.
OK. That's yeah.
That's what we would like to we very much.
Are very excited about it yeah, like I think I could.
You could, yeah. She averages now like 5 to 7
(22:33):
kills a game. I'm not even exaggerating.
Yeah, and I know we want to branch out and try a bunch of
games because we started with Mario Kart, then we did split
fiction, then we did It Takes 2,and we did all these like dual
games, A way Out, like all theselike dual games, like as
partners. And like, but we haven't played
duos on Fortnite. I know.
Crazy because we both love. Your birthday's coming up and
(22:53):
like, Oh my God, it'd be crazy if we could play together.
If APS 5 just like randomly popped into my my possession
within the next week leading up to my birthday, I don't know.
No, but like we've gone on this gaming journey together and
we're not the best, but I'd verymuch like to play with you.
And we play like an hour or two on average every single day
(23:13):
throughout the day. Like it's just on downstairs and
we'll literally just be walking by it and one of us will pick up
the controller, play for a little bit, set it down like
it's just like there available. Yeah, The way that I've
described it though, why I thinkwe would be fun to stream, is
that we're just good enough to be entertaining to watch, but
we're not too good where it's. We're good enough and bad enough
(23:36):
to where it's entertaining to watch.
I. Think we're like right at that
perfect level of where like sometimes I'll freak out if
someone's shooting at me and I'mjust like.
It's so funny. I was like, you sit and watch me
play and I sit and watch you play and then the whole time I'm
like, why aren't we just playingtogether?
Like the amount of time we've already wasted so I could just
pull the trigger on an early birthday present for.
You. Yeah, it would get here
(23:58):
tomorrow, 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Right now.
Just saying. My card was declined at Walmart
the other day. Are you poor?
Well, no, I think it's because it was expired, but.
Oh good. I don't know if it's.
Dropped my breakup, is it voicemail time now?
Let us know if you guys would like to watch a stream, we have
so much stuff that we'd like to talk about.
(24:19):
What did you think? I'm the girl.
The girl who has everything. Look at this trove.
Treasures untold. How many?
I'm so sorry. How many wonders can one cavern
hold? Looking around here, do you
(24:39):
think? Sure, Rain.
She's got everything. Can you turn?
That off. Can you turn that off please?
My voice. No.
Were you watching The Little Mermaid in here?
I heard it from out there. Yeah, sorry.
That was that was all Ariel. Yeah.
Can you turn that off? Was it on your laptop?
I want to be where the people are.
(25:02):
Wait. I wanna see wanna see them
dancing. And walking.
Around on those. What do you call them?
Oh wait, let me your fins. You don't get too far.
Legs are required. Oh my God, look at those jumping
(25:22):
dancing. Oh my, where did all these
people come from? Strolling along, Donna, What's
that word again? Street.
Up where they walk up where theyrun up where they stay all day
in the sun. Watch and you'll see.
(25:45):
Oh, I fucked up. Wondering why are you recording
me? Wish I could be part of your
world. That you're on land.
They'd understand. But they don't reprimand their
daughters. Bright young women sick of
(26:08):
swimming, ready to stand. That was the flattest note I've
ever hit in my entire life. And ready to know what the
people know. I'm ready to know my questions
and ready to get some answers. What's the fire and why is it?
(26:29):
What's the word burn? When did my turn?
What did I love? Love to explore that shore.
Up up of out of the sea. Oh fucking.
(26:49):
God damn it. Wish I.
Could. Be part of that work and I hope
you really like that. Hold on.
We need to take a shot. Yeah, what the fuck?
Hold on, before we start, let's make a miss.
(27:18):
Jesus, how much is in a shot glass?
Oh my God, this table's like a back.
It looks like so much. That's some high quality H2O.
Are we ready to get into some voicemails finally?
Sorry. We've been sorry about that long
enough. We're going just like that.
(27:38):
I have it. I'm ready all.
Right, we're getting into your guys's voicemails now.
This is just like a conglomerate.
This is everything. This is just some wild stuff
that our editor found and we're going to listen to it.
And here we go. Hi, Brian.
Hi, Mario. So I have a question.
Do. You ever find love again after
being cheated on? My question comes from obviously
(28:04):
I've been cheated on. It was by my fiance.
He was dating his Co worker, cheating on me with his Co
worker. And this cheating started a few
months after I lost a very closeuncle who's basically like a
dad. And yeah, he basically like
(28:27):
disconnected. I mean, obviously I know what
that means. He's not emotionally there as
most people are. I feel a lot of people
disassociate and I feel that's what happened.
So he cheated, she ended up being crazy, we went through
(28:48):
court and all that fun stuff. My question is, do you ever find
love again? Because you could put the finest
person in my face and I don't find attraction to them at all.
And I was wondering, do you everget that spark back?
Yes, confidently. Yes, very sorry to hear all
(29:09):
that. Yeah, absolutely risk me to
shreds. I can't stand that you've gone
through all that, that you're going through all that.
I can't say I know exactly how you feel because we all have
different life experiences, but certainly, definitely,
confidently, loudly and proudly,you can find love.
Well, you can always find love. What I will suggest for anybody
(29:30):
that goes through any level of trauma, traumatic experiences,
find help, get help. Talk to people, talk to friends,
talk to family. If you're religious, go do that.
If you want to go see a therapist, psychiatrist,
whatever, just talk. Just actually talk to people,
work it out. It is that serious.
You should talk to somebody. You shouldn't think that it's
not that big a deal because it is very traumatic experience.
(29:51):
And I'd also suggest, instead ofwondering whether you're ever
going to be able to love someoneelse again, trust someone else
again. Put your happiness in someone
else's hands again. Find your own happiness.
Start focusing on you, like if you've been through something
really traumatic that involves another friendship,
relationship, another person, another party and other
(30:14):
participant, and that was a verytraumatic experience for you.
Maybe this is the time to find yourself.
Maybe this is the time to work on yourself and really learn to
love yourself again and learn what boundaries and standards
you have for yourself. So if you ever do run into that
perfect person, of course you'renot going to feel like you can
love that person or you're goingto have that person in your life
(30:36):
or be in a relationship because you haven't healed from your
trauma yet. And it's really, really hard to
find joy and happiness in anything.
So you need to learn how to loveyourself.
You need to go seek help and then on top of all of that,
that's when you start building boundaries and having standards
for yourself and building these safety Nets and like safe walls.
That's the perfect opportunity for you to set some really high
(30:58):
standards for yourself, set someboundaries, learn about
yourself, learn to love yourself, find happiness again,
find something in life worth living for, something to be
passionate about. So if you do ever run into that
person ever again, that fine person, that perfect soulmate,
that love at first sight guy or gal, right, you'll be ready for
it because you know what makes you happy, You are happy and
(31:20):
content in your own life, and you'll be able to better
negotiate and navigate those avenues in love in relationships
again. Like it's just like, I don't
know if that makes, I know that was a lot, but.
No, that makes sense. Yeah.
What I was going to say is obviously you loved him and you
were in love with him, but the way he treated you was very
(31:42):
obviously not love. And I don't know you, I don't
know who you are as a person, but I know that everyone is
deserving of love in a lot of ways and you deserve someone who
actually loves you. And just remind yourself that
what he was showing you was not love.
And you will find somebody who can actually show you what love
feels like. You just, you have to be open
(32:03):
for it too, if that's something that you want.
Like Mario said, obviously love yourself first.
You are, you are responsible foryour own self worth.
It's easier also to have other people tell that to you, but if
you don't feel that for yourself, obviously you're never
going to fully understand why someone else does.
I don't know. I found Mario after my I got
cheated on my last relationship.So if it's possible for me to
(32:25):
have this relationship and it beas good as it is, I think it's
more than possible for you. I love that.
Yeah. You are in an emotional car
wreck. Yeah, and you are day one in the
hospital bed right now. So you need time to heal.
(32:48):
You need time to figure out whatmakes you happy again, what
you're passionate about. And if you do meet Mr. Right,
don't beat yourself up because you don't have the love in your
heart at the moment to really reciprocate that energy to
somebody you're very attracted to.
You know what I'm like, why would you do?
Like you were just in an emotional car wreck.
You're still healing. So if that person's really into
(33:10):
you or you're really into them and you just know it's not a
good time for you, communicate that.
All you have to say is I really,really just went through
something horrible and I really like you.
This is not a good time for me. I really just need to find my
own happiness. And if you're around by the time
that happens, like I'm more thandown to go out with you.
Like you can clearly confidentlycommunicate that.
(33:31):
And once you're all healed up and you move on, you're going to
feel so much better. So don't feel guilty.
Don't feel bad because your injuries, you can't see them.
It's very obvious when you're wearing a cast.
It's very obvious when you're ina wheelchair.
It's very obvious when you're oncrutches.
It's very obvious when you're going through physical therapy
(33:51):
and stuff. But when something hurts your
mind, when something hurts your heart, it's a lot easier to
pretend like that's not there. It's a lot easier just to give
in to those injuries. There are also, with what you're
saying, there are certain injuries that never heal
themselves and that you are going to always feel and there's
always going to be something that's still off there.
We're talking a lot about makingsure that you heal yourself and
(34:12):
make sure that you love yourself.
I did not do that before we started dating and we've talked
about this before. I had a lot of work that I
needed to do. I needed to find a lot of love
for myself and every situation is different.
Everybody's going to be different, but you have allowed
me the room to grow throughout our relationship knowing those
(34:36):
injuries that I had, and I feel like that's also a possibility.
Like at the end of the day, yes,it is first and foremost most
important to love yourself and to heal on your own terms, on
your own conditions, in every way that you possibly can.
But don't think that you are broken beyond repair and also
don't be afraid to have someone else help you with that repair.
Yeah, this might feel like an isolated experience.
(34:58):
This might feel so painful rightnow.
You're like, I can't imagine anybody else going through
something similar like this. I can't imagine someone feeling
heartbreak like I'm feeling right now.
Just know, sadly, especially today's day and age, it's a very
universal experience. Yeah, there's other people that
are going through exactly what you're going through, so I'm
sure you'll see them in the comments and I'm sure they'll
give you and I give you encouragement.
(35:19):
We're all people that have healed from some level of trauma
and we all just have to move forward and seek the help that
we need and give ourselves the time to heal.
And Long story short, you will find love again, but you have to
believe that you have to put in the work.
So. We're all rooting for you.
We're very much rooting for. You, everything will be OK.
You will find love again becauseyou are deserving of it.
(35:40):
Yeah, as long as you believe that.
As long as you believe that you.Came to the right place.
Let me get to the next one. Again, really, really sorry that
you're going through that. Yeah, it's rough.
Yeah. All right.
Moving on to the next one. Yeah.
You ready? Yeah.
OK. Hey, Mario.
Hey. Ben.
So we love watching podcasts andit makes us wheeze every time we
(36:02):
watch. We crack up and we got 2
questions for you. One this this one who said I
love you first? And two, do y'all believe in the
supernatural? And if so, have y'all ever seen
a ghost? These are perfect questions.
(36:23):
These are literally the most perfect questions you ever could
have possibly asked us. Damn, OK #1.
I love you story is actually really.
Good. The I Love You story is so
funny. I decided to go visit Mario.
It was a little after we starteddating, not too long, maybe a
month or less. I was getting ready to leave and
I was in my bedroom with my roommate Callie, and I was on
(36:43):
the phone with Mario and we wereabout to hang up because I had
to grab my bag and go down to mycar.
I was hugging Callie goodbye andthen I was hanging up with
Mario. And as I was hanging up I was
like, OK, I'll call you when I'mon the road.
I love you. Bye.
And then I didn't hit end and I just stood there drop John just
(37:03):
fucking and Callie was like hangup, hang up, hang up, hang up.
And I was just saying I like I literally froze.
I hung up and I looked at her and I was like, where did I see
that? And she was like, well, maybe
you mean it. Deep down, I don't know.
And then I started driving to Vegas.
How? Long is the relationship.
Was this again? In less than a month.
Yeah, It was like a couple weeks.
I wanted to say like a few weeks, couple weeks, less than a
(37:25):
month. And like, Bryn was notorious for
coming out to see me on a whim. Yeah.
Any time he was off work and I knew he was gonna be home.
I work from home, I can do whatever, whenever.
And I was always like, OK, beep,beep, let me come.
But there would be times where like I was working 48 hours on,
48 hours off in the fire department and you'd have stuff
going on. I'd have stuff going on and then
(37:47):
I'd be off work for 48 hours. And it's like, like I remember
there was a couple times it was like day 2, I go to work the
next day. But you were free and I was
like, yeah, I got nothing going on tonight and you drive like 6
hours to come see me. I would have gone the other way
to you, but I literally have work the next day in town.
No, I remember you do that all the time.
(38:07):
And like we were so accustomed to that happening.
And then if I had enough time off, I would just drive out to
you if I could. Like we would just all of our
free time and all of my time wastrying to was trying to get to
each other as much as possible. We were like a couple of drug
addicts. And then it was just another
time on a whim, out of nowhere, you're like, OK, I'm driving and
like you were going and you're frantically packing or whatever,
(38:29):
and I'm just on. The phone with you, it was also
like, I think it was like 7:00 PM, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, cuz I, you were likeif I went now I'd be there at
like midnight or I. Was gonna say just ahead at
midnight. I'd be there just ahead at
midnight. Then we'd spend the whole next
day together. And then but I'll just hang out
here. Like, I remember that.
And then you literally were like, OK, love you.
And they got quiet. And then there was the awkward
(38:50):
laughing. And then.
There's I don't even think I just love you.
I think I fully said I love you.Yeah, like it was.
Like it was a full blown and I remember thinking of the time
too because I had wanted to say it.
Obviously in my head I thought that it was too early on in the
relationship and I was like am Iconfusing affection?
But I remember it was quiet and you had hung up on me and I was
(39:11):
just laughing. I was like, all I know.
It was just like a Freudian slip.
Yeah. Freudian.
Freudian slip and it was like a Freudian.
Freudian. It was like a Freudian.
What's a Freudian slip? It was like a Yeah, it was like
that, yeah. And so I just kind of was
waiting for you to call me back.Yeah.
Because you obviously had hung up whatever.
And I felt like you. And I was so scared.
I called everyone I knew before I called you back.
(39:33):
And then I called my sister-in-law.
I called my other best friend that I lived with.
I called my other best friend that lives in Canada.
I called literally everyone. And I was like, I just told
Mario I love him, What do I do? I remember I felt the same way
about you. Let me be clear, I did like I
already knew that I did what? I don't know, it makes me want
to cry a lot. Why?
That's so sweet. Can you just stop leaking for 5
(39:55):
minutes every? From where and.
That's what I'm saying. Living with a woman, she's
always excreting something from somewhere, all the time.
I. Peed my pants before we served
anyway. You really did.
I'm on the back porch smoking before the podcast.
And she leans her head out and she goes, I just peed my pants.
(40:17):
And then I look over and I go, oh, and then she goes, I just
thought I'd let you know. And then she's just, and I'm
like, OK, she's standing there in her pee pants and she goes,
I'm going to go change. She's in her pee pee pants.
And this is the whole thing verbatim.
Here we go, sliding door. I peed my pants.
(40:43):
OK I need to go change. No, that is not what I said.
I opened the, I opened the door and I said I'm gonna go handle
it, but I just peed my pants. I was trying to pour a shot or
no, I was trying. To like you sneeze while you
(41:04):
were pouring. I was trying to pour a shot into
a drink. Yeah, and you sneeze and I
sneezed while I was doing it, but I was like, so focused on
all of the things that I couldn't hold my bladder.
Well, anyway. You called me like you called
me. I don't know how many people you
had talked to me before, but youhad called me.
You called me. And then I remember you were
(41:25):
like, already about to address it.
You're like halfway through a conversation we hadn't even had
yet. You're like, OK, so like you
just like we're already going. And I said stop, stop, stop,
stop, stop. And I was like, don't say a
thing. Like, don't say a word because I
wanted to have that conversationin person in case we actually
felt that way for each other. I didn't want to do it over the
fucking phone. Yeah, for the first time.
(41:45):
And I remember telling you, like, wait till you get here.
Wait till you get here. And you kept trying to talk over
me. Like, no, I just wanted to talk.
And I was like, I know exactly what you want to talk about.
Just don't talk. Just don't say anything.
Like, how's the drive going? How much longer?
I got to your apartment then andI went up and I think it was
maybe the first thing you said to me, which I will say you were
taking. You were taking tequila shots
(42:06):
before I got there. Yeah, I think honestly, looking
back at it now, I think you werekind of building up a little.
That's how I was gonna. You're trying to hype yourself
up a little bit. Yeah.
You grabbed me by the face. Like, literally.
Like you were like, I know you said it and you didn't mean to
say it, but I need you to know, Bryn, I love you.
(42:29):
Yeah. Like it was so.
And I was just like, OK, I love you too.
Like it was and it was. Because I knew, I feel like we
both knew that about each other really, really early on.
And I've been through enough bullshit.
Like the last thing I wanted waslike a relationship and I met
(42:50):
you and I was like, oh, I didn'teven know.
It was like, OK, what the fuck? OK.
Like I knew it could be like this.
I never knew it could actually be like this.
I didn't know that I deserve this.
I didn't know that I was actually going to be receiving
this. You know what I mean?
And so anyways, I already knew that I loved you at that point.
Whatever, It's embarrassing. It's a cringy.
(43:11):
I don't give a fuck. But like, what I'm saying is,
though, I knew once you said it accidentally that I did love
you. It was just the whole drive, you
were coming there. I was taking shots and deciding
whether we should really, like, say it right then, you know what
I mean? And then when you I made that
decision somewhere along those lines, and then I just did that,
(43:32):
I guess. So there.
Yeah. I don't know if I ever told you
this, but before I accidentally told you that I loved you when
we were hanging out and I would kind of rub your back, I would
write out I love you. Yeah, you did.
On your back. Yeah.
That's actually hilarious. And you never you didn't know.
I know I would never think that,but that's such a slowly funny
(43:53):
ladies and gentlemen, if you laytogether, if you love each
other, that's a good way to start.
If you want to just. You can kind of make it like
flowy, so it's like really hard,but it's like a good way to
like. Can you guys indicate it?
If you guys could turn that intolike a trend and tag us in it,
that's so beautiful. Like, I wish you would have made
a video of that. Honestly, I feel like we've
(44:14):
captured a lot of really sentimental moments.
But if you would like, because imagine somebody watching this
is in that stage of their relationship with somebody and
you happen to have a phone, you happen to have an account, that
would be like, that's how we make videos.
Like we talk about things and we're like, oh, like that would
be kind of funny, like played out on camera.
(44:35):
And then we post that and then people can reciprocate that and
turn that into a trend online. So like instead of us making
that video because we can't because we're already past that
our relationship, if you're in that stage of your relationship.
The same vibe as like the guys who know that they're going to
propose to their girlfriends andthey do like the little hidden
videos of them holding up the ring behind.
Their back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(44:55):
So like if you love your boyfriend, if you love your they
friend, if you love your girlfriend and you have a camera
in an account that you could post to online, maybe put on
like a sweet little lovely song,tag us in it and write I love
you on their back and post it. You know, especially if they
don't pay attention to those sort of things, you know, it
might just be or. Save so hard to like.
(45:16):
Save a compo. There you go, you're welcome.
Save a compilation of you writing I love you on their back
until it's actually verbally said.
Until you're ready to tell. Them until you're ready to tell
them, but like when you know that you love them and maybe
you're not ready to tell them yet, pull out your the camera
and start recording. Every time you write I love you
into their back or something along those lines.
(45:38):
And then you have a compilation of them and then you post it to
some sweet song. Boom, you're famous, you're
viral, you're an influencer. Congratulations.
Also, am I the only person that's ever done that?
Because I don't think I've ever talked to anyone else about
that. Is that an original thought?
I don't know. Such an interesting concept, the
original thought. The second part to that
question, or the second? I forgot about the second part.
(45:59):
You have a really good ghost story.
I don't. You do.
I mean like, I don't know if I should.
I don't know if I should. I mean, should I?
It's so scary. I don't.
Oh my God, guys. It actually is really scary.
I OK, listen to me. OK, hear me out.
I know there's a lot of people that go like I have a real ghost
story and they tell a story and that's the whole like I get it.
(46:21):
But I really do have an actual supernatural phenomenon that
happened to me. To this day I'm not able to
explain and I like telling that story because it is scary.
Should I tell it? Yes.
OK, OK, hold on. Let me get into.
I was. Gonna say try to summarize.
So I joined the military and at my first duty station in
(46:42):
Florida, I was put into the barracks, the dorms.
It's like my college years, likeI was a young 19 year old with a
bunch of other people and we're living in the dorms and you have
a roommate and great times, goodtimes.
Love you all. If you're watching, you know I
love you. If you're still serving, keep
kicking ass. If you're out, congratulations.
And here we are. So I'm in the barracks and I got
(47:05):
my roommate and we're living together and we have an open
door policy. We're very cordial.
We get along. He's my homie.
We're brothers and we're living our best lives.
And I was told by the person that lived there before that my
room was haunted. And I was like, no, it's not.
The person that lived in the room before me coincidentally
was getting medically dischargedfor having a brain tumor.
(47:27):
And this same person was tellingme that my room was haunted.
So I'm going to be completely transparent and honest.
I didn't really take it seriously because the dude that
had a brain tumor was seeing things.
So I was like, is the room really haunted?
And they're like, and I remembermy roommate was like, yeah, I
mean, come on, He. Was yeah.
I didn't think anything of it. Couple months go by, I move in,
(47:49):
he leaves and I think it was like a weekend to me being
there. I come home and my roommate's in
his room. I'm in my room and when I enter
I can look through he's in his room doing his thing and kind of
like hear him sense his presence.
I'm like I'm home and it's like 8:00 at night whatever wash my
teeth, take a shower, lay down in bed, put on the office on
(48:10):
Netflix. I'm winding down.
OK. I hear my roommate moving around
and he's doing his nightly routine.
I'm not thinking anything of it.I'm watching my show.
We had a joint shower. OK, so we had two bathrooms that
were connected by a shower, and it was 1 long tile hallway.
And I connected our rooms. So if all the doors were open,
(48:31):
he could just walk all the way through the bathrooms into my
room. Yeah.
Does that make sense? Yeah.
So it's just a long, dark hallway.
Yeah. And again, he's over there doing
his thing, his nightly routine, and I could hear his bare feet
on the tile, like walking around.
Yeah. Like a very specific sound.
Yeah, like, yeah, he's, he's over there doing his thing.
And then he walks down the hallway and I can see the
(48:54):
entrance of the dark door from my bed.
The doors open to the bathroom, and it's just a dark entrance.
And I could hear him walk with his bare feet down the hallway.
And he's standing right at the distance where I can't see him.
You know what I mean? Just enough in the darkness
where I can't see him, but I heard him go there and he's
there. Does that make sense?
(49:15):
So I'm in bed looking into this dark doorway, and I'm like,
looking at him. And I'm like, laughing.
I'm like, oh, what is he trying to do?
Like, is he brushing his teeth? Trying to, like, be a face in
the darkness? Like I'm like looking at him,
you know, and I hear his feet walk away and I don't and
whatever, I just go back to watching Michael Scott being
Michael Scott. And then like, I don't know, 5
minutes goes by, same thing. And I go stop, stop and I like
(49:38):
laugh and I hear his feet walk away.
Keep watching my show Happens 1/3 time and Oh my God, I'm
getting chills right now. I'm shaking, shaking.
Anyways, happens 1/3 time and and I'm like OK like the
darkness isn't funny anymore youknow what I mean?
Because I've really looked and Ican't see and I'm like 3 times
(49:58):
in a row being perfectly in the darkness and I can't see you
like all right you win. Like I'm like, OK, cool, you're.
Freaking me out I. Get down the hallway and then
just quiet and I really get to thinking and I'm like damn, he
ain't said shit. Yeah, like there's no gig there.
Was just something, Yeah. There was just something weird
about it. Yeah.
And I don't know. I remember I got up, I walked, I
(50:19):
looked down the long, dark hallway, hit the light and I'm
like, hey, man, nothing. I'm like, OK, what the He must
be in bed. I walk into the kitchen, which
also is shared. His doors open to his room.
And so I'm like in the kitchen and I'm kind of like listening
for him, you know? And I haven't heard him leave.
Yeah, you know, the door, definitely.
(50:40):
It's a loud metal door. I would have heard him leave at
this point and it's like 8:00 atnight.
So my brain, I'm kind of trying to just locate him like a bat.
Does that make sense? But I can't find him full on
walk into his doorway and go, hey, man, like just about to
make up some stuff just to talk to him.
He's not in there. He's not in there.
Didn't hear him leave. He's not in there.
I heard him walking up and down the hallway a bunch of times,
(51:01):
but like nothing. And so I go, oh, what the fuck?
And so I walk back to my room. I go back to the hallway where I
heard him lights on. His part's still dark.
I'm getting Oh my God, like, hey, man, like it's not funny.
Like you can come out like I thought he's hiding in his
closet or he's hiding in the darkness.
I'm like, what's he on? What's he doing?
What is this game he's playing? You know what I mean?
(51:23):
And so I like walk into the shower and I'm looking in his
bathroom and I don't see him. And I'm like, hey, nothing.
And it's dead silent now. It's dead silent now.
I'm like, wait, what the I don'tfeel no presence.
There's no sound, there's no nothing.
I just feel like I'm in someone's empty room and he's
not there. And I do a lap and I look in his
class. I started looking all over his
room. I look in the I'm like, come out
(51:44):
like I'm playing hide and seek with my invisible roommate.
Yeah, call him. Hey, man, where are you at?
Like, did you leave? Where are you hiding?
What is going on? No, man.
I've been gone all night when I tell you I threw my phone and
ran outside so fastly so. Fastly.
(52:06):
When I ran out, I ran outside sofast.
So quickly. So quickly.
So fast. And I'm hyperventilating.
I'm freaking the fuck out because I know up to that point
this was like 30 minutes total. Someone was in that apartment.
So then, to this day, tell the crowd what you learned.
There were rumors that somebody had died in my room, allegedly,
(52:30):
and that he said that he had seen things.
And then when I told people thisstory, everyone was like, oh,
yeah, we always hear things about that room.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
I've seen cupboards open in thatroom.
Whatever. So like to this day I don't
know. Oh my fucking God, I'm so sorry.
Why would you look off into the?I couldn't.
(52:50):
See the red light on your camera?
And I thought your camera wasn'trecording this entire time.
Anyways, Oh my God, I just scared you.
So you also like were freaking out last night coming to bed?
I'm very jumpy. Yeah, you are.
I'm a very jumpy. Person it says the guy who just
stood behind the curtain scared the shit out of me anyway I got.
(53:13):
It Long story short there was someone in there walking
barefoot on the tile and I heardthem and they were in the
darkness and I don't know who itwas to this day no one else was
in there. I went to all my friends rooms
and I was banging on their doorsand I was asking if anybody had.
I was asked if anybody was hiding in my room or scaring me
or something and it never. I still don't.
(53:33):
I still to this day don't know whose bare feet was on the
title. That's so gross.
And scary. That's my story and I you can
believe it. You cannot believe it.
I don't want to believe it. I don't like it.
But that's that happened. I remember that clearly if you
put me in a lie detector test that actually happened and I
(53:55):
don't know what to make of it. Sam and Colby if you want to
take me and. Brent on a little trip not.
Me to 100 house. No, I'm down.
I'm so down. Not because I believe in that
stuff. Wasn't that part of the
question? She's got to go pee again.
Wasn't that part of the do you have any scary stories?
None of your exes you want to talk about?
Do you believe in the supernatural?
(54:17):
Honestly, I tell myself not to so that I don't get scared.
Do you like haunted houses? No.
And you know this, we went to Salem and we.
Went through so much fun a. Stupid little haunted house,
like it was not anything crazy. Yeah, but you still did.
It rashed out. Yeah, but it was fun.

(54:37):
so much fun. It's so much fun.
For you. It did scare you at the
beginning of the podcast. Yeah, and it was really kind.
Of rude I could have I was like,do I yell?

about my options. No, you could have fucked my
whole day. Up I gave a soft approach.

Great. Holy talking.
Oh man, Oh God, but you're like literally about to take a
picture right here. No, I pull it up so I can look
at myself. I've been wanting to do that for
(00:52):
so long. Oh that was awesome.
Rude. We'll.
Just roll right into the intro, you have something in your
teeth. Why would you not tell me that
(01:14):
sooner? How could?
You. I just saw it, sorry.
It's chicken. It's in the hair solo.
Oh, wait, no, it's. From no, it's black on the other
side, I didn't. I get it.
Do you have, like, inventory? Like, what do you mean, like
this is chicken from last week. That's from my salt and vinegar
chips. These are my black pepper.
Why don't you brush your teeth? Oh, I didn't.
(01:35):
Yeah. I don't know if I brush my teeth
today. Did I brush my teeth today?
It smells like garden. You want to smell mine?
Your teeth look clean. Let me see.
Oh my God. Just smelled like garlic and hot
(01:59):
air balloon. That's what that smelled like.
It was just hot. Do you want to kiss me?
It tastes like watermelon. It does not taste like
watermelon. It does.
No. Yeah, it really does.
Look, see, it even says watermelon.
Your breath smelt like the alleythat Batman's parents were shot
in. What?
Oh, you're telling me to taste my taste it?
(02:22):
Watermelon. Yeah.
This is the flavor saver. See that?
Isn't it good? See how that works?
Are you going to do the intro orI'm like, I've been waiting for
so long. Oh my gosh, I'm sorry you guys
are still here. No, I'm just welcome to the
Pretty Funny podcast. I'm Mario.
And I'm Bryn. And we have a hell of a episode
for you guys. We're very, very excited.
Oh, go ahead, I. Was just gonna say tell them.
(02:43):
What we're doing. Oh.
Really do it. Just tell them.
Just tell. Them once again have recordings
to listen to. You guys loved episode 12 few
episodes ago where we responded to your guys's voice memos about
your worst first dates and dating horrific stories.
And so we have a lot more of them and we wanted to continue
going so we can consider this Part 2.
(03:05):
Before we start though, I have some questions for you guys and
some things that I wanted to talk about real quick because
we've been gaming, OK? I think this year, between
2024-2025, literally since we'vebeen together, I've done more
gaming than I ever have my entire existence of being alive.
Same. Like we did a lot of we never
had online gameplay growing up. It was always like local and
(03:29):
like multiplayer. It was just like, yeah, yeah.
If we were playing Call of Duty,we weren't playing like online.
Yeah, we were just playing like.One-on-one, me and my brother in
shipment with shotguns only likethat was like or like Halo and
all those like multiplayer gun games.
Yeah, but nowadays there's a lotmore.
Like Fortnite is the best example that you.
Like, yeah, but like, within thelast year, I had a PS4 for a
(03:52):
long time, and it was basically just my DVD player.
I played the Arkham games on it.Like, I didn't really do much
gaming at all. Yeah.
And then I bought a Nintendo Switch.
Yes. Because everybody at work was
playing Mario Kart, and my name's Mario, and I suck at all
those games, and I haven't played them enough to be good.
I played on the Game Boy growingup, bought a Nintendo switch and
(04:14):
then Bryn got me APS 5 for my birth that.
Was for Christmas. It wasn't for my birth.
No, that was for Christmas. Really.
Yeah. Oh, wow.
I don't even. We went way too hard giving each
other gifts. Yeah.
Oh, and when you guys are watching this episode, next week
is my birthday. Yeah, next week's episode.
Oh, this is actually rolling right?
OK, perfect. Good thing we're actually
(04:37):
talking about this. Yes.
Did we borderline love bomb eachother?
I don't think it was in a love bombing way because I feel like
love bomb obviously has a lot ofnegative connotation.
Yeah, we were just doing a lot for each other because we were
very excited about each other and it kind of almost felt like
love bombing, but it never was. I know that we both were very,
very passionate, year one of us together and that really like
(04:57):
bled into gift giving. It was my first time ever buying
a boyfriend gifts. Really.
Yeah, 'cause most of my relationships were so short and
never crossed like Christmas or anything.
No, I, I, I managed to get my exgirlfriends gifts 'cause we were
together during birthdays and stuff, but I had never bought an
A boy like a boyfriend boyfriendboy ever.
(05:20):
No. You did so good.
Yeah, thank you. I worked really hard on it.
I was like really, really tapping into everything that I
know about you. The same way you have a notes
list for me, I have one for you.You do.
Yeah, I updated all the time. I've updated it twice today.
Oh yeah, the key to a healthy, happy relationship is the Notes
app. Yeah, like that is my number one
(05:42):
app is the Notes app. The amount of notes.
In my app and I have a Brin folder.
I have like Halloween costumes like I have anything you could
possibly imagine. It's in my notes app.
Like I just use it for everything.
Notes app and every time you saythat you like something I just
put it in my notes app. I feel like we both are very,
very, very attentive and we pay attention to each other a lot.
(06:02):
And so when it comes time for gifts, it's almost a no.
It is a competition. Yeah, I was competing with.
You a little bit. So this year we decided that we
are putting a cap, a spending cap on our gift giving for
birthdays for each other becausewe can still get.
A lot of presents it's. Not a small cap either, but like
we need to make sure that we're because I think we also not even
(06:23):
in a competitive way, but like we do almost try to outdo each
other. Yeah, and I'm fearful for the
day that people actually go backand calculate old because we
posted old. We posted pretty much all of
them because I like doing halls and like my man halls and stuff.
And so every time we've had an anniversary, a birthday, a
holiday, something celebratory, yeah, we've like done a video
being like, oh, this is what I got, Brandon, this is what I
(06:44):
got. Well.
You at one point, and this is keep in mind, this is not us
bragging. This is just us kind of saying
almost in a way that we have a problem, a serious problem, a
spending problem. You were talking last year and
this year about getting me a hottub for my birthday.
Yeah. Do you know how much hot tubs
cost? Well, that's the thing.
I don't know how much anything costs at all in my brain.
(07:05):
How much? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Let me guess. Let me guess.
Let me guess. Well, I just said it, but.
$2020.00 You mean just like filling up a Kitty we can just
fill? Up the get one of the plastic
ones. Let's fill up a Kitty pole with
some boiling water. How much do you think the hot
tubs cost? Just like a normal hot tub.
(07:27):
Like a basic hot tub. Yeah.
Light jets a cover above ground.Like a six or an 8 seater.
You know, like a square. The water's going to overlap the
sides because it doesn't seat enough people.
Your knees. Might like brush up against.
Everyone gets out of this tub and it's like halfway empty, you
know what I'm saying? How expensive do you think that
(07:47):
is? 2 Grand $2000.
Are you serious? Is it more it can't two 2500
bucks? I don't know you.
Mean 2. 1000 have you bought? How many you bought?
A lot of hot tubs. No, but you talked about them
and I looked them up because I was like, how much is he going
to be spending on my birthday? What?
(08:07):
Wait, what? Low key.
How much does a hot tub cost on average?
How much? Average hot tub cost between
5000 and $18,000. Yeah, what?
Yeah. No way.
Yeah. Really.
Also, this is AI, but look at this.
Look at this fire pit hot tub. Yeah, that would just boil it.
(08:30):
I like soup. You want a bee soup?
Kinda what when I was little andI would eat oatmeal for
breakfast. I would convince myself that a
witch had kidnapped me and was holding me hostage and I'm like
Mystic cabin in the woods and I was being forced to eat
porridge. No, like honestly, who do I
(08:57):
call? What do I?
That was out of nowhere, wasn't it?
What was that? Wait, No, hold on.
Wait. What?
Should I be concerned? Is this hold on, Hold on.
Is this early onset? What is this?
Am I going to be building her a house with a porch that wraps
over on the back? Am I going to be reading her
life to her? Wait.
(09:17):
Because we were talking at the. When you're in the nursing home,
we were. Talking about a human soup and I
feel like that's something that a witch would do.
Think like Hansel and Gretel, like she wants to eat them.
Oh, because in the hot tub we could be human soup.
Yeah. Oh, so we were talking about hot
tubs, and then that reminded youof human soup.
(09:38):
And then with human soup, you thought of cauldrons and
witches. And with cauldrons and witches,
you thought about to your childhood when you would eat
oatmeal and then you would imagine it was porridge and your
mother scampering about the kitchen cleaning everything was
like the witch holding you hostage or you.
Just like I can't say. Anything about my mom?
Are you calling my mom a witch? No.
Anyways, OK, they're a little bit more.
(09:59):
Yeah, no. And I remember you saying that
and I was like, fuck, do I got to spend that much on you?
You should not in a bad way. I would love to.
I love like I don't make like enough to comfortably.
Do Well, we're not getting a hot.
You're not getting a hot tub foryour birthday now.
No, because we do. That's like $300.00 from Costco.
That could be. Yeah, OK.
(10:22):
My brother and my sister will have one and it's fun, except
when the three of us are in there.
It is like our kneecaps. Are off the inflatable Costco
hot tub. I'm very aware of the fact that
I'm in an inflatable hot tub with.
My brother and my sister, we canmake like our first YouTube
video, like trying out the Costco.
It'd be fun. Inflatable hot tub.
How are we going to inflate it? I don't that'd be part of the
(10:42):
video. That'll be what do we do?
Like we just open it and we justlike the air should go in at
some point, might take a couple hours.
I guess just wait for it to get windy.
Like, hey, we've been. I could see us trying to go like
a grocery bag trying to. There's those bag, those seats
(11:04):
that people use for like festivals or concerts or
whatever. And it's like the tube and you
like do that and you like run with it or you like do the thing
and then it like turns into a seat.
I could see you taking the garden hose and like putting it
up to the hole for the air and like filling up the hot tub.
But wouldn't it technically workif it was filled with water
instead of air? Would it?
(11:27):
Wait, The Jets? How do The Jets work?
They don't have jets on the inflatable hot tub.
They do. No, they don't.
Are you sure? We suck at Googling stuff, hold
on it. Was literally the 1st.
There's no jets on the Tesco inflatable. 10 Best Inflatable
hot Tub with seats and jets Yeah, they do.
(11:49):
OK. Yes, inflatable hot tubs
typically have jets. These jets are usually ear jets
that create bubbles and provide a gentle massage.
While some inflatable hot tubs might have a few water jets,
they are not as powerful or numerous as in traditional hard
shell hot tubs. I've been in one.
(12:10):
No, I want to dry my mouth out with a Ritz cracker.
What do you imagine when you're eating a Ritz cracker?
That you're back in the CatholicChurch eating the body of Christ
or something like what is your. What do I imagine when I eat a
Ritz? It makes me think of like, being
on the streets of like King's Landing and Game of Thrones, you
know what I mean? And it's like you just get a
(12:31):
little crumb of some good royal bread.
I do like to go salt side down on the tongue and kind of suck
it off a little bit sometimes. I would like to die and what the
fuck was that? What have you noticed?
Did you just Deep Throat a fucking risk her?
What are you hold on. What are you doing with this?
Just give it back. What do you have you ever
(12:52):
noticed? I like to go South side down and
then lick it and suck and then choke out Who the hell lick you
suck? What?
Who is this have? You ever noticed what I do with
my Doritos and or Pringles? No.
I lick all of the seasoning off and.
Then I just eat it. It tastes like it's already
(13:13):
there. You're still going to get the.
Later. No, it's kind of like 2 treats
in one if I do it my way, because then I I lick it all and
it's almost like a savory lollipop.
Yeah. And then I just get a chip.
Yeah, I just like that. OK, I can see that.
Just eat. What do you Brynn, stop?
(13:34):

cracker, please? Eat it.

What? Only crackers I know.
No like the fucking no like the chips.
Can you eat the cracker? I was going to show you.
There's more than one cracker. Stop put.
OK all times. The crackers in her mouth.
(14:20):
Can we put a sense you have cracker in your hair?
Fellas? It doesn't matter how hot she
is. You understand me?
You might look at a woman and she's a 10 out of 10.
She's a goddess, she's a sexy siren sorceress.
She's a Gucci. Gorgeous, amazing, talented,
(14:42):
scrumdiddly, delectable, walkingwork of art, right?
And you look at her and you're so intimidated.
Just know that we're all idiots at the end of the day.

No, not like that. What the fuck?
What are you doing? Oh my God.
Yeah, some girls are bitches. I can't breathe.
(15:55):
I said I wanted to bring side parts back.
Look at the camera you. Can I show you how I used to
part my hair? Can you fix your hair?
Why am I? Wait, so where does your hair
part this? Is where this is where I used to
part my hair. Wait, you do have a middle part.

My God, can you sing that song? A.
Whole. New The Little Mermaid one.
(17:01):
That is Little Mermaid. Whole new world.
Wait. I was like mad.
Oh, wait. Part of your world.
What would I give? If I could live out of these
waters? What would I pay?
Just to spend a day warm on the sand.
(17:26):
Bet you on land they understand.Bet they don't reprimand their
daughters. Bright young women.
Anyways, with full ADH high definition D there for a minute
we were just trying to talk about that.
We've been gaming a lot recentlyand I've watched Bryn's gaming
(17:48):
journey literally start from placing 9th to 12th in every
series of Mario karts to now going neck and neck with me
every single race. And you've you've been playing
Fortnite this Star Wars season pass still around?
If they don't bring back Battlefront 3, Do you know about
the Battlefront games? You've told me about them.
(18:10):
OK, well, I was gonna say, can Igive you my actual, like, whole
gaming history? When I was younger, I would play
Halo with my brother. I didn't one morning and he
threw a screwdriver through my door.
It was really fun. And then I would play a lot of
Wii. I would play like Girls Go games
online. Never heard of any of this.
It's with like brats in Myspace and not Myspace.
My scene dolls. Anyway, I would play a lot of
(18:31):
online games like Webkinz and Star Doll.
Oh my God, no. I swear to God, there's going to
be girls out there that know about Star Doll.
And it is it was. She is everything.
Yeah. And then we have like Club
Penguin and all that stuff too. But yeah, I would play a lot of
WE and then as I got older, still would play a lot of WE And
(18:52):
then in college I would play like jackpot games, Jack Jack
Box, Jack Box games. Got a posi right there because
Jack Box games go hard. You want to talk about a data
leak? If literally Jack Box games, if
you've played, if you know, you know.
Wait till the day our foreign adversaries get a hold of the
(19:14):
Jack Box TV data and they leak all the horrific things we've
all said on that game. If you played that game, you're
you're nervous right now, OK, Because I don't think enough
people are talking about that orI've ever thought about that.
Jack Box TV is the funniest shitof all time.
Though I will say Oh my God thatmight be one of the best gaming
(19:37):
experiences. Though if you don't know what
Jack Box TV is, great sponsor. If you'd ever want to be sponsor
us Jack Box TV. If you have 3 to 12 friends and
you all get together and download Jack Box TV.
You're going to have the best night of your life.
I'm like Jack. Well this is your one free plug
Jack box from now on. Well, the more you know your
(19:58):
friends too like the more fun it.
Oh yeah, it's just just start playing it.
You'll catch on quickly. It's not even drinking games,
but it's like when you're havinga house party and you're hanging
out with friends and it's. It's like a cop.
Drunk it is, it's fun. A Jack Box TV is just a bunch of
prompts that are very like reminiscent of Family Feud or
What's the Other. Game.
(20:18):
They have a whole bunch of different types of games.
There's like trivia ones, there's ones where you have to
draw, there's just there's a whole bunch of different kinds.
I think the most popularized is Quiplash, where it's kind of
like Cards Against Humanity. It's whose line is it anyways?
Cards Against Humanity, but. You write your own answers.
All combined into one. Yeah, and it is the most, it's
super easy to catch on to it. This could be an ad read.
This is like I love Jackbox. I know we just got to move on
(20:40):
from. Yeah, I watched one of my good
guy friends play Fortnite a lot in college too.
And that's how I got like reallyinto Fortnite.
No. And then I just kept playing Wii
and then I kind of like, forgot about gaming a little bit until
I started dating you. And I was.
So do you remember how scared I was to play Mario Kart with you?
Yeah, I used to be really bad with joysticks in any.
(21:01):
I just don't think you were familiar with it and you just
needed to play. And.
Like yeah, and I anybody can play video games if you have 0
experience or you're a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a they
friend and you're watching somebody game in your house in
your life, like how quickly you could pick up on it and learn.
(21:22):
It seems very overwhelming, verydaunting.
But you're a testament to this because you are neck and neck
with me in Mario Kart after maybe a month.
And I am a very, very competitive, competitive,
determined person. So if I know that I'm not good
at using joysticks, I'm not gonna do it.
And that's how my mindset what? Listen, hold on, let me do this,
(21:49):
let me do this. Listen, ladies might not be good
with joysticks, but let me tell you, if you lock in and you play
as hard as you can and do anything you said to your mind
too. I'm Bryn Marie and this is the
Gaming Channel. The people in the comments are
going to flame you for being mean to me.
May the Fourth came and went andthen they dropped like that Star
(22:10):
Wars Fortnite thing, you know? And then that got me back into
it. And I don't know if there's
anybody even talking about it. I'm not in the gaming community
like that. Like, I don't watch streamers.
We've been debating whether we should Twitch stream.
OK. That's yeah.
That's what we would like to we very much.
Are very excited about it yeah, like I think I could.
You could, yeah. She averages now like 5 to 7
(22:33):
kills a game. I'm not even exaggerating.
Yeah, and I know we want to branch out and try a bunch of
games because we started with Mario Kart, then we did split
fiction, then we did It Takes 2,and we did all these like dual
games, A way Out, like all theselike dual games, like as
partners. And like, but we haven't played
duos on Fortnite. I know.
Crazy because we both love. Your birthday's coming up and
(22:53):
like, Oh my God, it'd be crazy if we could play together.
If APS 5 just like randomly popped into my my possession
within the next week leading up to my birthday, I don't know.
No, but like we've gone on this gaming journey together and
we're not the best, but I'd verymuch like to play with you.
And we play like an hour or two on average every single day
(23:13):
throughout the day. Like it's just on downstairs and
we'll literally just be walking by it and one of us will pick up
the controller, play for a little bit, set it down like
it's just like there available. Yeah, The way that I've
described it though, why I thinkwe would be fun to stream, is
that we're just good enough to be entertaining to watch, but
we're not too good where it's. We're good enough and bad enough
(23:36):
to where it's entertaining to watch.
I. Think we're like right at that
perfect level of where like sometimes I'll freak out if
someone's shooting at me and I'mjust like.
It's so funny. I was like, you sit and watch me
play and I sit and watch you play and then the whole time I'm
like, why aren't we just playingtogether?
Like the amount of time we've already wasted so I could just
pull the trigger on an early birthday present for.
You. Yeah, it would get here
(23:58):
tomorrow, 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Right now.
Just saying. My card was declined at Walmart
the other day. Are you poor?
Well, no, I think it's because it was expired, but.
Oh good. I don't know if it's.
Dropped my breakup, is it voicemail time now?
Let us know if you guys would like to watch a stream, we have
so much stuff that we'd like to talk about.
(24:19):
What did you think? I'm the girl.
The girl who has everything. Look at this trove.
Treasures untold. How many?
I'm so sorry. How many wonders can one cavern
hold? Looking around here, do you
(24:39):
think? Sure, Rain.
She's got everything. Can you turn?
That off. Can you turn that off please?
My voice. No.
Were you watching The Little Mermaid in here?
I heard it from out there. Yeah, sorry.
That was that was all Ariel. Yeah.
Can you turn that off? Was it on your laptop?
I want to be where the people are.
(25:02):
Wait. I wanna see wanna see them
dancing. And walking.
Around on those. What do you call them?
Oh wait, let me your fins. You don't get too far.
Legs are required. Oh my God, look at those jumping
(25:22):
dancing. Oh my, where did all these
people come from? Strolling along, Donna, What's
that word again? Street.
Up where they walk up where theyrun up where they stay all day
in the sun. Watch and you'll see.
(25:45):
Oh, I fucked up. Wondering why are you recording
me? Wish I could be part of your
world. That you're on land.
They'd understand. But they don't reprimand their
daughters. Bright young women sick of
(26:08):
swimming, ready to stand. That was the flattest note I've
ever hit in my entire life. And ready to know what the
people know. I'm ready to know my questions
and ready to get some answers. What's the fire and why is it?
(26:29):
What's the word burn? When did my turn?
What did I love? Love to explore that shore.
Up up of out of the sea. Oh fucking.
(26:49):
God damn it. Wish I.
Could. Be part of that work and I hope
you really like that. Hold on.
We need to take a shot. Yeah, what the fuck?
Hold on, before we start, let's make a miss.
(27:18):
Jesus, how much is in a shot glass?
Oh my God, this table's like a back.
It looks like so much. That's some high quality H2O.
Are we ready to get into some voicemails finally?
Sorry. We've been sorry about that long
enough. We're going just like that.
(27:38):
I have it. I'm ready all.
Right, we're getting into your guys's voicemails now.
This is just like a conglomerate.
This is everything. This is just some wild stuff
that our editor found and we're going to listen to it.
And here we go. Hi, Brian.
Hi, Mario. So I have a question.
Do. You ever find love again after
being cheated on? My question comes from obviously
(28:04):
I've been cheated on. It was by my fiance.
He was dating his Co worker, cheating on me with his Co
worker. And this cheating started a few
months after I lost a very closeuncle who's basically like a
dad. And yeah, he basically like
(28:27):
disconnected. I mean, obviously I know what
that means. He's not emotionally there as
most people are. I feel a lot of people
disassociate and I feel that's what happened.
So he cheated, she ended up being crazy, we went through
(28:48):
court and all that fun stuff. My question is, do you ever find
love again? Because you could put the finest
person in my face and I don't find attraction to them at all.
And I was wondering, do you everget that spark back?
Yes, confidently. Yes, very sorry to hear all
(29:09):
that. Yeah, absolutely risk me to
shreds. I can't stand that you've gone
through all that, that you're going through all that.
I can't say I know exactly how you feel because we all have
different life experiences, but certainly, definitely,
confidently, loudly and proudly,you can find love.
Well, you can always find love. What I will suggest for anybody
(29:30):
that goes through any level of trauma, traumatic experiences,
find help, get help. Talk to people, talk to friends,
talk to family. If you're religious, go do that.
If you want to go see a therapist, psychiatrist,
whatever, just talk. Just actually talk to people,
work it out. It is that serious.
You should talk to somebody. You shouldn't think that it's
not that big a deal because it is very traumatic experience.
(29:51):
And I'd also suggest, instead ofwondering whether you're ever
going to be able to love someoneelse again, trust someone else
again. Put your happiness in someone
else's hands again. Find your own happiness.
Start focusing on you, like if you've been through something
really traumatic that involves another friendship,
relationship, another person, another party and other
(30:14):
participant, and that was a verytraumatic experience for you.
Maybe this is the time to find yourself.
Maybe this is the time to work on yourself and really learn to
love yourself again and learn what boundaries and standards
you have for yourself. So if you ever do run into that
perfect person, of course you'renot going to feel like you can
love that person or you're goingto have that person in your life
(30:36):
or be in a relationship because you haven't healed from your
trauma yet. And it's really, really hard to
find joy and happiness in anything.
So you need to learn how to loveyourself.
You need to go seek help and then on top of all of that,
that's when you start building boundaries and having standards
for yourself and building these safety Nets and like safe walls.
That's the perfect opportunity for you to set some really high
(30:58):
standards for yourself, set someboundaries, learn about
yourself, learn to love yourself, find happiness again,
find something in life worth living for, something to be
passionate about. So if you do ever run into that
person ever again, that fine person, that perfect soulmate,
that love at first sight guy or gal, right, you'll be ready for
it because you know what makes you happy, You are happy and
(31:20):
content in your own life, and you'll be able to better
negotiate and navigate those avenues in love in relationships
again. Like it's just like, I don't
know if that makes, I know that was a lot, but.
No, that makes sense. Yeah.
What I was going to say is obviously you loved him and you
were in love with him, but the way he treated you was very
(31:42):
obviously not love. And I don't know you, I don't
know who you are as a person, but I know that everyone is
deserving of love in a lot of ways and you deserve someone who
actually loves you. And just remind yourself that
what he was showing you was not love.
And you will find somebody who can actually show you what love
feels like. You just, you have to be open
(32:03):
for it too, if that's something that you want.
Like Mario said, obviously love yourself first.
You are, you are responsible foryour own self worth.
It's easier also to have other people tell that to you, but if
you don't feel that for yourself, obviously you're never
going to fully understand why someone else does.
I don't know. I found Mario after my I got
cheated on my last relationship.So if it's possible for me to
(32:25):
have this relationship and it beas good as it is, I think it's
more than possible for you. I love that.
Yeah. You are in an emotional car
wreck. Yeah, and you are day one in the
hospital bed right now. So you need time to heal.
(32:48):
You need time to figure out whatmakes you happy again, what
you're passionate about. And if you do meet Mr. Right,
don't beat yourself up because you don't have the love in your
heart at the moment to really reciprocate that energy to
somebody you're very attracted to.
You know what I'm like, why would you do?
Like you were just in an emotional car wreck.
You're still healing. So if that person's really into
(33:10):
you or you're really into them and you just know it's not a
good time for you, communicate that.
All you have to say is I really,really just went through
something horrible and I really like you.
This is not a good time for me. I really just need to find my
own happiness. And if you're around by the time
that happens, like I'm more thandown to go out with you.
Like you can clearly confidentlycommunicate that.
(33:31):
And once you're all healed up and you move on, you're going to
feel so much better. So don't feel guilty.
Don't feel bad because your injuries, you can't see them.
It's very obvious when you're wearing a cast.
It's very obvious when you're ina wheelchair.
It's very obvious when you're oncrutches.
It's very obvious when you're going through physical therapy
(33:51):
and stuff. But when something hurts your
mind, when something hurts your heart, it's a lot easier to
pretend like that's not there. It's a lot easier just to give
in to those injuries. There are also, with what you're
saying, there are certain injuries that never heal
themselves and that you are going to always feel and there's
always going to be something that's still off there.
We're talking a lot about makingsure that you heal yourself and
(34:12):
make sure that you love yourself.
I did not do that before we started dating and we've talked
about this before. I had a lot of work that I
needed to do. I needed to find a lot of love
for myself and every situation is different.
Everybody's going to be different, but you have allowed
me the room to grow throughout our relationship knowing those
(34:36):
injuries that I had, and I feel like that's also a possibility.
Like at the end of the day, yes,it is first and foremost most
important to love yourself and to heal on your own terms, on
your own conditions, in every way that you possibly can.
But don't think that you are broken beyond repair and also
don't be afraid to have someone else help you with that repair.
Yeah, this might feel like an isolated experience.
(34:58):
This might feel so painful rightnow.
You're like, I can't imagine anybody else going through
something similar like this. I can't imagine someone feeling
heartbreak like I'm feeling right now.
Just know, sadly, especially today's day and age, it's a very
universal experience. Yeah, there's other people that
are going through exactly what you're going through, so I'm
sure you'll see them in the comments and I'm sure they'll
give you and I give you encouragement.
(35:19):
We're all people that have healed from some level of trauma
and we all just have to move forward and seek the help that
we need and give ourselves the time to heal.
And Long story short, you will find love again, but you have to
believe that you have to put in the work.
So. We're all rooting for you.
We're very much rooting for. You, everything will be OK.
You will find love again becauseyou are deserving of it.
(35:40):
Yeah, as long as you believe that.
As long as you believe that you.Came to the right place.
Let me get to the next one. Again, really, really sorry that
you're going through that. Yeah, it's rough.
Yeah. All right.
Moving on to the next one. Yeah.
You ready? Yeah.
OK. Hey, Mario.
Hey. Ben.
So we love watching podcasts andit makes us wheeze every time we
(36:02):
watch. We crack up and we got 2
questions for you. One this this one who said I
love you first? And two, do y'all believe in the
supernatural? And if so, have y'all ever seen
a ghost? These are perfect questions.
(36:23):
These are literally the most perfect questions you ever could
have possibly asked us. Damn, OK #1.
I love you story is actually really.
Good. The I Love You story is so
funny. I decided to go visit Mario.
It was a little after we starteddating, not too long, maybe a
month or less. I was getting ready to leave and
I was in my bedroom with my roommate Callie, and I was on
(36:43):
the phone with Mario and we wereabout to hang up because I had
to grab my bag and go down to mycar.
I was hugging Callie goodbye andthen I was hanging up with
Mario. And as I was hanging up I was
like, OK, I'll call you when I'mon the road.
I love you. Bye.
And then I didn't hit end and I just stood there drop John just
(37:03):
fucking and Callie was like hangup, hang up, hang up, hang up.
And I was just saying I like I literally froze.
I hung up and I looked at her and I was like, where did I see
that? And she was like, well, maybe
you mean it. Deep down, I don't know.
And then I started driving to Vegas.
How? Long is the relationship.
Was this again? In less than a month.
Yeah, It was like a couple weeks.
I wanted to say like a few weeks, couple weeks, less than a
(37:25):
month. And like, Bryn was notorious for
coming out to see me on a whim. Yeah.
Any time he was off work and I knew he was gonna be home.
I work from home, I can do whatever, whenever.
And I was always like, OK, beep,beep, let me come.
But there would be times where like I was working 48 hours on,
48 hours off in the fire department and you'd have stuff
going on. I'd have stuff going on and then
(37:47):
I'd be off work for 48 hours. And it's like, like I remember
there was a couple times it was like day 2, I go to work the
next day. But you were free and I was
like, yeah, I got nothing going on tonight and you drive like 6
hours to come see me. I would have gone the other way
to you, but I literally have work the next day in town.
No, I remember you do that all the time.
(38:07):
And like we were so accustomed to that happening.
And then if I had enough time off, I would just drive out to
you if I could. Like we would just all of our
free time and all of my time wastrying to was trying to get to
each other as much as possible. We were like a couple of drug
addicts. And then it was just another
time on a whim, out of nowhere, you're like, OK, I'm driving and
like you were going and you're frantically packing or whatever,
(38:29):
and I'm just on. The phone with you, it was also
like, I think it was like 7:00 PM, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, cuz I, you were likeif I went now I'd be there at
like midnight or I. Was gonna say just ahead at
midnight. I'd be there just ahead at
midnight. Then we'd spend the whole next
day together. And then but I'll just hang out
here. Like, I remember that.
And then you literally were like, OK, love you.
And they got quiet. And then there was the awkward
(38:50):
laughing. And then.
There's I don't even think I just love you.
I think I fully said I love you.Yeah, like it was.
Like it was a full blown and I remember thinking of the time
too because I had wanted to say it.
Obviously in my head I thought that it was too early on in the
relationship and I was like am Iconfusing affection?
But I remember it was quiet and you had hung up on me and I was
(39:11):
just laughing. I was like, all I know.
It was just like a Freudian slip.
Yeah. Freudian.
Freudian slip and it was like a Freudian.
Freudian. It was like a Freudian.
What's a Freudian slip? It was like a Yeah, it was like
that, yeah. And so I just kind of was
waiting for you to call me back.Yeah.
Because you obviously had hung up whatever.
And I felt like you. And I was so scared.
I called everyone I knew before I called you back.
(39:33):
And then I called my sister-in-law.
I called my other best friend that I lived with.
I called my other best friend that lives in Canada.
I called literally everyone. And I was like, I just told
Mario I love him, What do I do? I remember I felt the same way
about you. Let me be clear, I did like I
already knew that I did what? I don't know, it makes me want
to cry a lot. Why?
That's so sweet. Can you just stop leaking for 5
(39:55):
minutes every? From where and.
That's what I'm saying. Living with a woman, she's
always excreting something from somewhere, all the time.
I. Peed my pants before we served
anyway. You really did.
I'm on the back porch smoking before the podcast.
And she leans her head out and she goes, I just peed my pants.
(40:17):
And then I look over and I go, oh, and then she goes, I just
thought I'd let you know. And then she's just, and I'm
like, OK, she's standing there in her pee pants and she goes,
I'm going to go change. She's in her pee pee pants.
And this is the whole thing verbatim.
Here we go, sliding door. I peed my pants.
(40:43):
OK I need to go change. No, that is not what I said.
I opened the, I opened the door and I said I'm gonna go handle
it, but I just peed my pants. I was trying to pour a shot or
no, I was trying. To like you sneeze while you
(41:04):
were pouring. I was trying to pour a shot into
a drink. Yeah, and you sneeze and I
sneezed while I was doing it, but I was like, so focused on
all of the things that I couldn't hold my bladder.
Well, anyway. You called me like you called
me. I don't know how many people you
had talked to me before, but youhad called me.
You called me. And then I remember you were
(41:25):
like, already about to address it.
You're like halfway through a conversation we hadn't even had
yet. You're like, OK, so like you
just like we're already going. And I said stop, stop, stop,
stop, stop. And I was like, don't say a
thing. Like, don't say a word because I
wanted to have that conversationin person in case we actually
felt that way for each other. I didn't want to do it over the
fucking phone. Yeah, for the first time.
(41:45):
And I remember telling you, like, wait till you get here.
Wait till you get here. And you kept trying to talk over
me. Like, no, I just wanted to talk.
And I was like, I know exactly what you want to talk about.
Just don't talk. Just don't say anything.
Like, how's the drive going? How much longer?
I got to your apartment then andI went up and I think it was
maybe the first thing you said to me, which I will say you were
taking. You were taking tequila shots
(42:06):
before I got there. Yeah, I think honestly, looking
back at it now, I think you werekind of building up a little.
That's how I was gonna. You're trying to hype yourself
up a little bit. Yeah.
You grabbed me by the face. Like, literally.
Like you were like, I know you said it and you didn't mean to
say it, but I need you to know, Bryn, I love you.
(42:29):
Yeah. Like it was so.
And I was just like, OK, I love you too.
Like it was and it was. Because I knew, I feel like we
both knew that about each other really, really early on.
And I've been through enough bullshit.
Like the last thing I wanted waslike a relationship and I met
(42:50):
you and I was like, oh, I didn'teven know.
It was like, OK, what the fuck? OK.
Like I knew it could be like this.
I never knew it could actually be like this.
I didn't know that I deserve this.
I didn't know that I was actually going to be receiving
this. You know what I mean?
And so anyways, I already knew that I loved you at that point.
Whatever, It's embarrassing. It's a cringy.
(43:11):
I don't give a fuck. But like, what I'm saying is,
though, I knew once you said it accidentally that I did love
you. It was just the whole drive, you
were coming there. I was taking shots and deciding
whether we should really, like, say it right then, you know what
I mean? And then when you I made that
decision somewhere along those lines, and then I just did that,
(43:32):
I guess. So there.
Yeah. I don't know if I ever told you
this, but before I accidentally told you that I loved you when
we were hanging out and I would kind of rub your back, I would
write out I love you. Yeah, you did.
On your back. Yeah.
That's actually hilarious. And you never you didn't know.
I know I would never think that,but that's such a slowly funny
(43:53):
ladies and gentlemen, if you laytogether, if you love each
other, that's a good way to start.
If you want to just. You can kind of make it like
flowy, so it's like really hard,but it's like a good way to
like. Can you guys indicate it?
If you guys could turn that intolike a trend and tag us in it,
that's so beautiful. Like, I wish you would have made
a video of that. Honestly, I feel like we've
(44:14):
captured a lot of really sentimental moments.
But if you would like, because imagine somebody watching this
is in that stage of their relationship with somebody and
you happen to have a phone, you happen to have an account, that
would be like, that's how we make videos.
Like we talk about things and we're like, oh, like that would
be kind of funny, like played out on camera.
(44:35):
And then we post that and then people can reciprocate that and
turn that into a trend online. So like instead of us making
that video because we can't because we're already past that
our relationship, if you're in that stage of your relationship.
The same vibe as like the guys who know that they're going to
propose to their girlfriends andthey do like the little hidden
videos of them holding up the ring behind.
Their back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(44:55):
So like if you love your boyfriend, if you love your they
friend, if you love your girlfriend and you have a camera
in an account that you could post to online, maybe put on
like a sweet little lovely song,tag us in it and write I love
you on their back and post it. You know, especially if they
don't pay attention to those sort of things, you know, it
might just be or. Save so hard to like.
(45:16):
Save a compo. There you go, you're welcome.
Save a compilation of you writing I love you on their back
until it's actually verbally said.
Until you're ready to tell. Them until you're ready to tell
them, but like when you know that you love them and maybe
you're not ready to tell them yet, pull out your the camera
and start recording. Every time you write I love you
into their back or something along those lines.
(45:38):
And then you have a compilation of them and then you post it to
some sweet song. Boom, you're famous, you're
viral, you're an influencer. Congratulations.
Also, am I the only person that's ever done that?
Because I don't think I've ever talked to anyone else about
that. Is that an original thought?
I don't know. Such an interesting concept, the
original thought. The second part to that
question, or the second? I forgot about the second part.
(45:59):
You have a really good ghost story.
I don't. You do.
I mean like, I don't know if I should.
I don't know if I should. I mean, should I?
It's so scary. I don't.
Oh my God, guys. It actually is really scary.
I OK, listen to me. OK, hear me out.
I know there's a lot of people that go like I have a real ghost
story and they tell a story and that's the whole like I get it.
(46:21):
But I really do have an actual supernatural phenomenon that
happened to me. To this day I'm not able to
explain and I like telling that story because it is scary.
Should I tell it? Yes.
OK, OK, hold on. Let me get into.
I was. Gonna say try to summarize.
So I joined the military and at my first duty station in
(46:42):
Florida, I was put into the barracks, the dorms.
It's like my college years, likeI was a young 19 year old with a
bunch of other people and we're living in the dorms and you have
a roommate and great times, goodtimes.
Love you all. If you're watching, you know I
love you. If you're still serving, keep
kicking ass. If you're out, congratulations.
And here we are. So I'm in the barracks and I got
(47:05):
my roommate and we're living together and we have an open
door policy. We're very cordial.
We get along. He's my homie.
We're brothers and we're living our best lives.
And I was told by the person that lived there before that my
room was haunted. And I was like, no, it's not.
The person that lived in the room before me coincidentally
was getting medically dischargedfor having a brain tumor.
(47:27):
And this same person was tellingme that my room was haunted.
So I'm going to be completely transparent and honest.
I didn't really take it seriously because the dude that
had a brain tumor was seeing things.
So I was like, is the room really haunted?
And they're like, and I remembermy roommate was like, yeah, I
mean, come on, He. Was yeah.
I didn't think anything of it. Couple months go by, I move in,
(47:49):
he leaves and I think it was like a weekend to me being
there. I come home and my roommate's in
his room. I'm in my room and when I enter
I can look through he's in his room doing his thing and kind of
like hear him sense his presence.
I'm like I'm home and it's like 8:00 at night whatever wash my
teeth, take a shower, lay down in bed, put on the office on
(48:10):
Netflix. I'm winding down.
OK. I hear my roommate moving around
and he's doing his nightly routine.
I'm not thinking anything of it.I'm watching my show.
We had a joint shower. OK, so we had two bathrooms that
were connected by a shower, and it was 1 long tile hallway.
And I connected our rooms. So if all the doors were open,
(48:31):
he could just walk all the way through the bathrooms into my
room. Yeah.
Does that make sense? Yeah.
So it's just a long, dark hallway.
Yeah. And again, he's over there doing
his thing, his nightly routine, and I could hear his bare feet
on the tile, like walking around.
Yeah. Like a very specific sound.
Yeah, like, yeah, he's, he's over there doing his thing.
And then he walks down the hallway and I can see the
(48:54):
entrance of the dark door from my bed.
The doors open to the bathroom, and it's just a dark entrance.
And I could hear him walk with his bare feet down the hallway.
And he's standing right at the distance where I can't see him.
You know what I mean? Just enough in the darkness
where I can't see him, but I heard him go there and he's
there. Does that make sense?
(49:15):
So I'm in bed looking into this dark doorway, and I'm like,
looking at him. And I'm like, laughing.
I'm like, oh, what is he trying to do?
Like, is he brushing his teeth? Trying to, like, be a face in
the darkness? Like I'm like looking at him,
you know, and I hear his feet walk away and I don't and
whatever, I just go back to watching Michael Scott being
Michael Scott. And then like, I don't know, 5
minutes goes by, same thing. And I go stop, stop and I like
(49:38):
laugh and I hear his feet walk away.
Keep watching my show Happens 1/3 time and Oh my God, I'm
getting chills right now. I'm shaking, shaking.
Anyways, happens 1/3 time and and I'm like OK like the
darkness isn't funny anymore youknow what I mean?
Because I've really looked and Ican't see and I'm like 3 times
(49:58):
in a row being perfectly in the darkness and I can't see you
like all right you win. Like I'm like, OK, cool, you're.
Freaking me out I. Get down the hallway and then
just quiet and I really get to thinking and I'm like damn, he
ain't said shit. Yeah, like there's no gig there.
Was just something, Yeah. There was just something weird
about it. Yeah.
And I don't know. I remember I got up, I walked, I
(50:19):
looked down the long, dark hallway, hit the light and I'm
like, hey, man, nothing. I'm like, OK, what the He must
be in bed. I walk into the kitchen, which
also is shared. His doors open to his room.
And so I'm like in the kitchen and I'm kind of like listening
for him, you know? And I haven't heard him leave.
Yeah, you know, the door, definitely.
(50:40):
It's a loud metal door. I would have heard him leave at
this point and it's like 8:00 atnight.
So my brain, I'm kind of trying to just locate him like a bat.
Does that make sense? But I can't find him full on
walk into his doorway and go, hey, man, like just about to
make up some stuff just to talk to him.
He's not in there. He's not in there.
Didn't hear him leave. He's not in there.
I heard him walking up and down the hallway a bunch of times,
(51:01):
but like nothing. And so I go, oh, what the fuck?
And so I walk back to my room. I go back to the hallway where I
heard him lights on. His part's still dark.
I'm getting Oh my God, like, hey, man, like it's not funny.
Like you can come out like I thought he's hiding in his
closet or he's hiding in the darkness.
I'm like, what's he on? What's he doing?
What is this game he's playing? You know what I mean?
(51:23):
And so I like walk into the shower and I'm looking in his
bathroom and I don't see him. And I'm like, hey, nothing.
And it's dead silent now. It's dead silent now.
I'm like, wait, what the I don'tfeel no presence.
There's no sound, there's no nothing.
I just feel like I'm in someone's empty room and he's
not there. And I do a lap and I look in his
class. I started looking all over his
room. I look in the I'm like, come out
(51:44):
like I'm playing hide and seek with my invisible roommate.
Yeah, call him. Hey, man, where are you at?
Like, did you leave? Where are you hiding?
What is going on? No, man.
I've been gone all night when I tell you I threw my phone and
ran outside so fastly so. Fastly.
(52:06):
When I ran out, I ran outside sofast.
So quickly. So quickly.
So fast. And I'm hyperventilating.
I'm freaking the fuck out because I know up to that point
this was like 30 minutes total. Someone was in that apartment.
So then, to this day, tell the crowd what you learned.
There were rumors that somebody had died in my room, allegedly,
(52:30):
and that he said that he had seen things.
And then when I told people thisstory, everyone was like, oh,
yeah, we always hear things about that room.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
I've seen cupboards open in thatroom.
Whatever. So like to this day I don't
know. Oh my fucking God, I'm so sorry.
Why would you look off into the?I couldn't.
(52:50):
See the red light on your camera?
And I thought your camera wasn'trecording this entire time.
Anyways, Oh my God, I just scared you.
So you also like were freaking out last night coming to bed?
I'm very jumpy. Yeah, you are.
I'm a very jumpy. Person it says the guy who just
stood behind the curtain scared the shit out of me anyway I got.
(53:13):
It Long story short there was someone in there walking
barefoot on the tile and I heardthem and they were in the
darkness and I don't know who itwas to this day no one else was
in there. I went to all my friends rooms
and I was banging on their doorsand I was asking if anybody had.
I was asked if anybody was hiding in my room or scaring me
or something and it never. I still don't.
(53:33):
I still to this day don't know whose bare feet was on the
title. That's so gross.
And scary. That's my story and I you can
believe it. You cannot believe it.
I don't want to believe it. I don't like it.
But that's that happened. I remember that clearly if you
put me in a lie detector test that actually happened and I
(53:55):
don't know what to make of it. Sam and Colby if you want to
take me and. Brent on a little trip not.
Me to 100 house. No, I'm down.
I'm so down. Not because I believe in that
stuff. Wasn't that part of the
question? She's got to go pee again.
Wasn't that part of the do you have any scary stories?
None of your exes you want to talk about?
Do you believe in the supernatural?
(54:17):
Honestly, I tell myself not to so that I don't get scared.
Do you like haunted houses? No.
And you know this, we went to Salem and we.
Went through so much fun a. Stupid little haunted house,

beginning of the podcast. Yeah, and it was really kind.

about my options. No, you could have fucked my
whole day. Up I gave a soft approach.
It was very it was very soft came in soft you.
(54:58):
