you're at a. It's delicious.
Isn't that not good? It's really good.
Wait, isn't that not good? Is that not good?

(00:46):
Is that not good or what? When you say the isn't, you're
doing a double negative because you're saying is not that not
good. Yeah, I know.
I was like, why does anyone eventalk that way in the first
place? Isn't that good?
Or is that not good? Is it good?
I I literally should have just been like is it good?
Do you like it? I do.
Yeah, like isn't it not good? Today we have the Natural

(01:06):
History Museum of Utah. Oh, this one.
Right here. I mean, it's like it's only like
this full, so it wasn't gonna. Like, Oh my gosh, yeah, it's.
Not like, no. Yeah, and then you're from the
Utah Museum. The Natural History Museum of
Utah. We are that people that buy like
shot glasses, magnets. Everywhere.

(01:27):
Merch everywhere we go because Ithink it's so much fun.
It's like there's a gift shop. Yeah.
We will be in it I. Never understood gift shops
until I was an adult. Like I really love me some Knick
knacks and Paddy. Wacks and then yours is from.
Salem, MA of. Course, and we got so many
things actually in Salem. Oh my, I'm sorry, I don't know

(01:47):
off the top of my head. I cannot wait.
Summer's here, folks. So once it reaches a certain
point in July, after like 4th ofJuly and all that, I'm just like
pre baking my oven for fucking October.
Oh yeah. You just bought us from Costco.
The. Holy shit, roll the intro.

(02:16):
Welcome back to the Pretty funnypodcast I Am.
Brit and I'm Mario. Thanks for listening.
Thanks for watching. We have a pretty funny episode
to. We really, really do.
We're excited right before we roll the intro, though.
I want to wrap up this conversation though.
Oh, about Salem, MA. Yes, yes, it's literally it's
where the Sanderson sisters are from.

(02:36):
Hello. Poppy.
I heard that they burned the witches at Salem.
We did a deep dive, remember? We listened to a couple.
What'd you say? Did you not?
Notice me say, obvi you said theSanderson sisters live there.
And I said Abby, Abby, Abby. Oh, that's so funny, but it's
sorry anyways. But the Sanderson sisters,

(02:57):
that's where they originate from.
And I heard we did a couple deepdives on like all the torture
and all the craziness that happened at Salem and who died
and like kind of the storyline and all the crazy curses with
like the sheriffs and the mayorsand whoever came through
afterwards. We listened to podcasts on our
drive back from Salem just describing, like, the history of

(03:17):
Salem and what it's obviously everyone knows that Salem's
like, well, maybe not everyone, but everyone knows that Salem's
known for, like, witches. Yeah.
And like Bad Juju and just whichtrials the same like trials.
It's like Halloween Town, though.
That's like it's just. Like ohh it's like I love that
movie. Ohh Halloween Town.
Yeah, yeah, it's a classic. Like.
Yeah, like can we? I know that's what I'm saying.

(03:38):
Like it's. It's.
Midsummer, you know what I'm saying?
So like it's going to start being October shit really quick,
really quick. And what you were saying is that
I got at Costco, I got that Oogie boogie, little Choo Choo
train of all the Nightmare Before Christmas characters.
It's like a. Nativity scene?
Yeah, I literally, he showed it to me.
That was the first thing I said.I was like, is this our version

(03:59):
of a nativity scene? Nativity scene?
Is this the version of Nativity?Oh, sorry, I'm.
From Washington State, where we pronounce our A's like E's like
bag tag nativity. We are losing the plot, we're
lost in the sauce. But get on the canoe and and

(04:20):
paddle back to the conversation.What would I put something in at
the grocery store after I check out and I have a whole bunch of
things and I need to carry them out, what do I put them in?
A bag, but we say beg. Because we're from.
That's why I said nativity. OK, that makes sense.
Yeah, kind of. It's looks like a Halloween
nativity scene. It does not at all.
There's no nativity scenes like connected to it.

(04:43):
I don't know, it's just like that vibe, just it's like a
really nice. You mean it's just a Christmas
decoration? You know, like every single
family had that Kirkland signature nativity scene that.
Glass was a really fancy one from What is was it?
Like Hallmark? No, it's what's the name?
Oh my God, this is going to bother me.
Did you have like an advent calendar and did your family
like decorate? Yes, I loved.

(05:04):
I absolutely loved. Yes, every Christmas, it was
right after Thanksgiving. My mom would.
You've been to my mom's house onChristmas Eve.
They haven't so. I'm just saying like, you know
that it's very much. And then our nativity scene
nativity scene is their Willow tree.
Oh, those ones. And I.

(05:25):
Love these. My mom had so many of these
growing up. If you don't, Emma, please.
Oh. Women eat this shit.
Up. I got my mom literally this one
that we're looking at right now.I got my mom a couple of those.
Those are like the ultimate mom gift.
That's like the classic, oh God,it's Mother's Day.
Swing by the store, pick up one of these little faceless
creatures and throw it at your mom.
They're. So aesthetic though, and cute

(05:46):
and they've stood the test of time.
Like I really stand by them. My mom had this whole set.
Do you see this? Did you see it last or?
Yeah, Last year when we were there, she had this entire set
with a little camel, all of it. It's all coming back to me.
Catholicism. We went to church a couple
months ago. Yeah, just for a ceremony.
Well, from my end, because we were both.
Yeah, yeah, ceremony. For my great aunts, she.

(06:08):
Graduated Life. Life.
So. Oh no, your family's going to
hate me. No your.
Dad listens to this. Your mom listens to this.
My mom, I think my. Dad listens to it more than my
mom. Hi Dad.
How you doing? I doubt it, though.
We'll see how. You doing, Sir?
It's not his side of the family.He's chilling.
I don't care. It's like This Is Us.

(06:31):
Everyone is like this behind closed doors.
You know what I mean? Why don't we put on this like
performance, this theatrical actevery time you're around people,
like, let's be this weird, perfect avatar of ourselves.
Because it is polite and is the safest option to not hurt
people's feelings. It's demure, professional and

(06:54):
ethical. And thoughtful.
Like Superman. Superman was my Barbie movie.
I fucking love if. You sing your fucking Clark Kent
song. Trying to make it a thing so
bad. I want it to be the song of the
summer and. Did you you deleted your video?
About it, didn't you? I tried posting.
Yeah, so I said it wasn't funny.He posted it anyway.
He deleted. It just listen to this.
Listen to this fucking song I sang.

(07:15):
I thought it sounded really fucking good.
I was really inspired after watching the Superman movie and
I thought I'd sing a song and I thought it was going to be the
song of the summer. No, he literally says, can I
tell you this? I don't want you to get
embarrassed. We can cut it if it's
embarrassing No, but he he showsme the video after he posted it

(07:35):
and he goes I can see everyone like is going to start dwetting
this. I was like I could see David
corn sweat dancing to this and you know what I believe in you.
You said that and I really thought about it and I was like
that could happen. That very well could happen.
I'm. Clark, Ken.
Am IA Man or an alien? Is it my destiny for my heart to

(07:56):
break even though I have invincibility 'cause I'm Clark
Ken? My parents raised me to be a
man? Is it my destiny to fight for a
world that won't fight for me 'cause I'm Clark Ken?
Oh my God, stop. It's OK.

(08:18):
Boo. I literally wrote that.
I sang it, I recorded it. I put an echo effect on it.
I was like faith. In it.
I really was like, damn, OK, theamount of like edits of Superman
that are gonna be made to this or like this slow build up of
duets of different musicians building a Symphony using that
song and then like David Cornsweat is like lip syncing to

(08:40):
it for the official. DC play it on like Jimmy Fallon
and yeah so now. And like, I'm getting
interviewed, you know what I mean?
Like how did you come up with I'm just Ken, I'm Clark Ken
correlation and I'm like, well, you know, see weird ALS here.
What the? Thing with social media, though,
is like, you really never know, like what's gonna do that?
Yeah. And so I really appreciate your

(09:03):
effort to just put yourself out there and do those things even
though. You got to risk it to get the
biscuit, folks. You literally have to be
comfortable, just like we just demonstrated, like embarrassing
yourself, like literally being cringe unapologetically
yourself. And like we talked about an
episode or two ago, or maybe it was last episode, like you

(09:24):
letting other people judge you or you even just putting that on
someone else that they're judging you and just being
embarrassed and afraid to just pursue your dreams and passions,
you're not going to get anywhere.
So like me making that video andposting it confidently, like,
yes, this is going to be like the, the Peaches, the Jack Black
Anthem for the Clark Kent movie.And then and then like 1/2 an

(09:48):
hour after it's posted and it's got like literally 1000 views.
And like my mom's comments said,like this is great.
Mario. And I'm like, wait, I think I
kind of lost the plot at a certain point, you know what I
mean? Yeah, that's the little behind
the scenes for how recording goes, really, honestly.

(10:09):
Yeah. Sometimes things work out,
sometimes things don't. Sometimes things work out,
sometimes thing don't. OK, we got to.
We got to find our way back. To what?
We haven't been talking about anything.
Yet couple little updates beforewe get into it.
Why'd? You get so serious.
Sorry, I'm like, I'm, I'm locking in.

(10:30):
I was unlocked. A serious thing.
I'm locking in. Yeah, we got a couple
announcements, OK, that we have a really special episode planned
for you guys. You know what?
Keep that burp in Ethan. OK?
Because I have GERD. It's a real condition.
Are these the? Things you have to talk about.
No fuck, but I burp a lot. I'm literally like Morty.

(10:51):
Like you know what? I just.
That actually made me want to throw up.
What? I thought of you burping like
Rick all the time. Yeah, I'm sorry.
OK, cool. As I do my public service
announcement of like, don't shame me for my burps.
I'm shaming you because you havemedicine to fix it.
You forget to take it all of thetime.

(11:12):
I have some. So what were the two things that
you were going to update them about?
Was it 2? #1 Bryn is better than me at
Mario Kart. Yes, I am.
And I don't believe in domestic violence, but I think we can all
agree that sometimes out there on those race tracks, a red
shell can feel really personal. A green shell could cut deep.

(11:35):
No, I mean, it's so. Hard for you there could be like
other people in front of me thatare easier to hit and I'm on
your ass. Oh, yeah, like, it's really a
good place to take out your anger on your girlfriend, your
spouse, your friends, your families.
Like, no need to throw hands. No need to, you know, punch the

(11:57):
drywall, Kyle. Yeah.
You and Deborah hop on the sticks and fucking hit each
other off Rainbow Rd., you know?It's.
So cathartic though, yeah, on the on the offense.
Oh yeah. When you just throw a green
shell perfectly through a curve and you just see it, you know,
like Buddy the Elf, Yeah, when you like, threw the snowball and

(12:19):
the little kids running away, That's how I feel.
I just, like, throw that green shell and it just goes.
And I'm like, you, slut, fuckingget her, get her, get her.
And I just hear you next to me. Like fucking God damn it
asshole, I fucking suck. God fuck.
It's not that. Is that what I sound like?
In my brain at that time, because you're my enemy.
And I watched The last Dance with Michael Jordan and I know
how to. Anyways, Brynn is really good at

(12:43):
Mario Kart. Yeah, and I wanted to do credit
where credits do. I wanted to announce that to
everybody. We were excited to play the new
Mario Kart World to see who was going to be better at Mario.
It's fire. It was like the best way to
figure it out. You really are picking it up
quicker. It's hard to keep up with you.
I think that I'm racing so good and you literally are like 1/4
lap ahead of me. Like it's, it's impressive.
Like I, it's, it's impressive. You truly are Princess Peach.

(13:06):
Yeah. You really are.
What's the other thing you were going to say?
And then looking at the analytics for really the first
time since we started this podcast, all of you guys
watching right now from whereveryou're watching, whoever you're
watching with, just know just between YouTube and Spotify,
we've broken the threshold of 50,000 people subscribing,
following. And that literally blew my mind.

(13:29):
Like I was not expecting that. I knew we had something special.
I knew people wanted to come andlisten.
And we really appreciate everybody that encouraged us to
start a podcast that came out and showed out for us and
supported us. And everyone that's new here,
wherever you're coming from, wherever you found us, just we
love you guys so much. We're having such a good time
doing this and this episode. Do you like hot girl?

(13:57):
Hot to a girl? Oh, I thought you said hot girl.
Is she still living? Am I?
The hot to a girl. No hot girl.
Hot girl. I'm a hot girl.
Bitch, you know I'm sexy. Don't call, just text me
bitches. Slow, can't get on my speed.
They stare because they know I'mthe ITGIRL.
You know I am that girl. Bitch, don't kiss and tell a

(14:19):
girl from ATL why you mad at me because I'm cunt.
Bitch, why you mad at me? Because I run shit.
What? So I'm a hot girl.
No, we're going to be doing, oh,right, Jesus Christ.
We're doing the voice memos, folks.
Everyone called in. We're doing dating advice.
Everyone wants to know our opinions and get our advice.

(14:42):
When? It comes to dating honestly.
Because we're so in love, we're a case study.
I mean, how did we find each other?
How are we still together? How did someone as beautiful you
for a cave troll and it's someone as beautiful you?
It's as beautiful as you. Thank you.

(15:04):
Time to get some dating advice. We're bringing your calls on Get
your toe out of OW. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen,
for joining us. We are going to be doing the

(15:26):
phone calls, answering your voicemails.
I'm here with Bryn and let's getthis roll on the show.
Hi Bryn, Hi Mario, my name is Delaney and I just want to say
First off, Bryn girlfriend, I see myself in you so much and I
just want you to know that you doing what you do just by
posting and doing this podcast and just being yourself is

(15:49):
inspiring so many people. You have helped me get out of a
rut because I've been doing content creation for eight years
now and I get stuck and watchingyou has really pushed me to be
like just be yourself. People love it.
Bren is proof of that. So girl, I just want to say
thank you. And like I said, I just see

(16:11):
myself and you so much like we would be great friends if we
ever met. Anyway, Mario, for real, for
real. We need you to write a book for
these men, OK? Because listen, I just do not
date anymore because I live in Alabama and I don't have a lot
of a lot of choices, if you knowwhat I mean.

(16:32):
So I just need you to get these men to get it together because
you are such a good man. And it shows through the
podcast. But also just the look on Bryn's
face when you speak, you are so good for her and she is so good
for you and it is amazing to watch the both of you be so

(16:55):
healthy and have open communication.
And anyway, I just, I want to give praises to the both of you
because you guys, that's how ourrelationship should be.
So anyway, I just wanted to tellyou guys you guys are awesome
and I love you and I cannot waitfor the next episode.
Bye. That was so sweet, Delaney.

(17:15):
Thank you. No, that was so sweet.
I'm so happy that I can inspire you to like, really want to be
yourself. And I fully agree.
Mario is the best man on this planet and he should probably
write a book because everyone deserves to get treated the way
that I do. I feel like I would call it bare
mini mini man you do more minimum bare.

(17:35):
Minimum. I no honest, like dead serious.
I'm being so for real right now.I am the furthest from perfect,
you know that. I know that my whole life has
just been like obstacles and wildness and failures and
successes and I really don't know what the hell I'm doing.
All I know is I'm literally, I swear to God in my brain doing

(17:56):
like the bare minimum. And I think a lot of times,
especially like couples content and just people online, it's so
easy just to like, be performative and just like, Oh
yeah, I am that perfect guy. I'm great.
And then turns out you're a fucking weirdo.
Like literally every time, like clockwork.
I'm like, not even exaggerating either.
And so like, I want to make it crystal clear that I'm just a

(18:19):
fucking dude. I literally feel like I'm doing
the bare minimum. I just feel like old guys out
there should just, you know, give a fuck.
I don't necessarily agree that you're doing the bare minimum.
I think you do a lot, but I think to you it feels like it's
the bare minimum because you're genuinely acting out of love.
Like, I can tell that all the things you do for me, the way

(18:41):
you speak to me, our entire relationship and every way that
you treat me is through love. And so like, in your eyes, that
might be the bare minimum because it's like, well, yeah,
like, no shit, I'm going to get you flowers every time I see
them or whatever other bare minimum things you might think
of. But like, for a lot of women,
the guys that they're with don'teven fucking like them that

(19:02):
much. And so I feel like they don't
treat them like that. And that's why what you do seems
like the bare minimum. The bare minimum is directly
influenced by the amount of passion in the relationship.
Yeah, it's like a meter. If someone is trying to tell you
that their bare minimum is this and you're like, well, I need
this, this, this and this, and they just don't like you that
much. Like just leave them.

(19:23):
Like it's so simple. Ladies and gentlemen, I think
everybody on planet earth has been with someone and thought
that they were in love and very well to them at that time, we're
in love. And I feel like everyone dates,
everyone gets in relationships, everyone meets wonderful people
from all walks of life. And if you can't learn and grow
from everyone that you meet and look back on that.

(19:45):
And I really, truly don't believe in mistakes.
I believe I'm just looking back and learning.
Yeah. I really, really do.
Yeah. And so, like, there was times
before you when I really thoughtI was in love.
And I very well was or could have been, or maybe I wasn't.
I don't know. But I was always striving for,
you know, the best relationship.And I was always looking for the

(20:05):
best in that person. And I know they were trying to
do the same with me, you know what I'm saying?
And at the end of the day, I just don't think.
That either of us were compatible.
And I feel like that's what it always boils down to.
And if you just know that in your bones that like, I'm not
going to give this person my all.
I'm not head over heels crazy for this person or you don't
feel like you're receiving that.Trust your gut.

(20:27):
You're right. It's like it's that simple.
It's that simple. And you can attest to this too.
When I met you, I could give a fuck less about being in a
relationship. I really, really genuinely was
like searching for it. I was open to it, sure, but I
was very comfortable on my own. I loved being by myself.
I truly, truly did. And I had such a good thing

(20:49):
going that bringing someone intothat would be a huge like wrench
in the well oiled machine of my life that it was at that point.
And so you came into my life andI even know relationships could
be like that. And that's why naturally, just
what you guys see online, like really, I try not to make it as
performative because I don't want people to think that it's

(21:11):
theatrical or not real. Yeah, because I really, really
do feel that way. And sometimes people can think
that it is over the top, it is exaggerated, but I mean it that
it's not. And if you feel like you're with
someone and you're you don't really care to make them happy
and you don't care to go above and beyond and do more than the
bare minimum or even the bare minimum, then you should leave

(21:31):
them because that's unfair to them.
You're doing yourself and them adisservice.
Yeah. And should I write a book?
I'm writing like space fantasiesand TV shows and movies in my
spare time and. Love story.
A book. Advice column.
Yeah, I feel like that would be the easiest thing to write.
The things that I'm trying to write are like, nuts.

(21:52):
Yeah, if people want it, I'll doit.
I'll fucking do it, OK? And I'm so sorry about your
Alabama situation. Dating pool.
Yeah, the dating pool, I don't know what you were alluding to,
but I'm assuming that everybody at the family reunion had a plus
one. No.
Is that what you? Is that what you were trying to?
No everyone of the family reunion.
Had a + 1. Yeah, that was already there.

(22:15):
What? It was already invited cuz
they're part of the family, OK? We're going to the next one.
Yes. Hi Brenda, Mario, I just wanted
to say thank you so much for theepisodes that you guys put out
every week. They're like a little ray of
sunshine for me in the mornings.I'm a stay at home mom, so I
always watch them in the mornings before my daughter
wakes up. And it helps me put a little fun

(22:38):
spin on my day because it's likea little hangout that I get with
my besties. I've never met.
And I also wanted to ask, how have you found, it seems to be
like the perfect way to understand each other and where
you're coming from? Like what have you found that
helps you, you guys understand where you're coming from, where
each other are coming from, understand what you guys are

(23:00):
trying to say in the moment? Like what have you guys figured
out that helps with that? Because it honestly seems like
whatever you guys are doing is working so well.
And I'm so, so, so curious. Thank you so much.
Love you guys. We love you.
I feel like we actually have a lot to say about this.
Yeah, yeah, this is a good one. This is a very.

(23:21):
Good one, This is Money cuz we just went through the storming
phase. Oh my God, we did.
Our communication was honestly terrible, and I feel like we've
just now gotten to a point wherewe've gotten a lot better at it
and we really, really, really actually listen to what the
other person is saying and what point they were trying to make.

(23:42):
First off, kind of touching backto what we said with the last
caller, I don't even know if I put a bookend to that, but Long
story short, what you guys see online obviously is what show
you. Yeah, especially short form
content. Like, yeah, if we're lucky,
maybe a couple times a day, a few times a day, we're able to

(24:03):
have a successful video that reaches a lot of people and it's
maybe 2 to 3 minutes long Max. Yeah.
So you're only seeing. A very small part. 5 minutes of
our days and like like you said,we want to make you smile, we
want to make you happy and we want to show you the positive
sides. I love the relationship and I
think what I love about this podcast so much is we can dive

(24:23):
deeper into the behind the scenes just like you're asking.
I was gonna say, yeah, you obviously see a lot more of us
here and have normally at least like an hour of conversation
between us. Yeah, it's a lot more, but it's
still at the same time is the best side of us.
It is. We're not gonna sit here if we
argue. We're not gonna post that.
Oh, yeah. Like, well, no, I mean, like

(24:44):
we've gone back and forth on this podcast.
Yeah. And I was about to say, like you
guys that have been watching, listening to this podcast, like
literally when it comes to us onsocial media and how we present
ourselves and just putting ourselves online, like this is
the closest you're ever going toget to reality.
Like it is reality. I'd say 90% of the time,

(25:06):
obviously we got to cut some things and just edit things and,
you know, some things aren't as funny or whatever, or we're not
just gonna come on here and argue.
No, like literally like we're having a fight.
Or maybe we should. No, there was.
Oh my God, when? We were starting our podcast.
My management told me about a couple who literally did that.
They did their breakup on the podcast.
And I was like, that's. Not the breakup.

(25:28):
Would that be? No.
That would be nuts. Fight.
Yeah. See, that would just be weird.
It would just be itchy. Really.
It's like exploiting. Yeah.
See, I don't like that. Yeah, I feel like to answer your
question, to go back a little bit and kind of explain like
where our heads are at when we have misunderstanding,
misunderstandings and like trying to communicate.
I feel like we really had to cross a threshold of like
genuinely, genuinely trying to listen to the other person's

(25:50):
side and see their point of view.
Like it's the most simple thing that you can possibly think of.
It's what everyone's going to tell you is like to put yourself
in their, in their shoes. That's so hard to do, especially
if like, like I'm really stubborn.
I am a very, very stubborn person and it is difficult for
me to put myself in someone's shoes if they're disagreeing
with me and if I have like really heightened emotions about

(26:13):
it. If you feel like you won an
argument in a relationship, friendship, family.
If you feel like you won an argument, you lost.
If at the end of an argument, atthe end of a disagreement, A
misunderstanding, A miscommunication, whatever you
want to call it, whether you're with family, friends, or you
know a partner in a relationship.

(26:34):
If you get to the end of it and you're like gloating and you're
acting like you won. Something you deserve a tip on
your shoulder like. You lost like that is going to
definitely lead down a road to where there's going to be way
more conflicts, way more miscommunications, because guess
what? No one's working towards a
mutual fucking solution. Yes, and if you have that

(26:56):
mindset also where you feel likeyou need to win, then anytime
you're in an argument with that person and you don't quote UN
quote win, then you're just going to have resentment for
them because in your eyes you lost.
Obviously if there was like miscommunications, arguments,
misunderstandings, whatever all of the time, like it's just
going to be like, no, I'm not doing this.
This isn't my life and this obviously is not working.

(27:18):
It's like, I don't know what thethe number would be or whatever,
but at a certain point, you know, in your bones, you know,
in your gut, like this isn't really gonna work.
You know what I mean? Like once you have that feeling,
just trust it and leave when youcan.
Like that's the best way. It's like cancer.
It's literally like cancer. The best way to treat it, to
beat it is to prevent it. Like literally take care of

(27:41):
yourself. And it's the same thing with
fucking relationships. And So what we got really,
really good at, and we did our research and we, like, really
looked shit up. Yeah.
And we really wanted this to work.
And we knew that there was so many different variables
surrounding all of this. This podcast, social media.
You were in California. I was over here.
We both have family, other places.
We both have really different goals but similar trajectories.

(28:03):
Like we had so many different factors, but we still wanted to
make this work. There was so many times that
have been so easy just to be like, obviously us not being
together would make our lives somuch easier in this moment.
Yeah. There would be no stress, no
anxiety, no whatever. But when you find that person
that you really, really fucking connect with and you really,
really are head over heels in love with, you fucking don't

(28:26):
want to win arguments. You don't want there to be
winners or losers in a relationship.
If there are, then both of you are losing.
Like, I don't know how else to say it.
We got really, really good at seeing each other's sides,
really seeking to understand, being active listeners and
understanding that the miscommunication that happened

(28:47):
or anything that's going on on the relationship.
It's not coming from a place of malice.
It's not coming from a negative place.
Like you think something, I think something, you did
something, I did something and we're like disagreeing or
whatever. Once you're just like, oh, you
really were just going about that and you obviously didn't
have any ill intent when you were doing it.

(29:07):
Yeah, once you just realized that and it's just like, OK, so
that's why that happened. And like, here's me and that's
why that happened. It's like, OK, so like now we
can work. Making that personal for
whatever reason, and then like work through it.
And I think another really big thing sometimes is just time
because we'll have arguments andwe'll spend a lot of time trying

(29:27):
to work them out and we will always come to a conclusion.
That's why we're still together.But like we will always figure
out a way to where both of us feel OK afterwards and like we
feel like we've come to some sort of resolution.
But then a week, even months later, we will revisit that
conversation that we had and kind of not re argue about it,
but re cache it out from a placewhere we both feel really good.

(29:49):
I think that's one of the most beneficial things that you can
do is if you've had an issue with someone and if you've had
an argument, take your time to where you're both in a really
good headspace. You're not mad at each other and
revisit it and talk it out. Because you're going to say
things almost in a joking mannerthat you were feeling and it's
going to come across so much nicer.
And like, that's where you can actually communicate about it

(30:10):
because you don't hold any anger, animosity or whatever the
feelings might be towards this person.
You literally not only took the words right out of my mouth, but
LED to my next thing that I really wanted to say.
No. Like perfectly hot take and
again, hear me out because it sounds bad obviously when I say
it out loud, but just let me talk myself out of it.

(30:33):
Go to bed angry, go to bed mad, go to bed upset, go to bed sad.
Go to bed when things aren't going good.
You don't have to go to bed smiling.
Like, I firmly, firmly believe that once you realize there's
only 24 hours in a day, you haveto sleep a certain amount and
you're awake a certain amount. You know when the night's going

(30:57):
to be over, when the day needs to be done.
And at a certain point, you needto just start going, hey, I love
you and I, we need to work on this tomorrow, right?
And just, even if you don't feellike smiling, though, I love
you. I'm like really upset with you.

(31:17):
I'm mad at you. You made me so sad.
This isn't good. I'm not really comfortable with
you. I don't even really want to like
feel like, I don't know, cuddling or I need you know
what? I mean, I need my, I need some.
Space, whatever. Not even like go sleep on the
couch. Like you can still obviously
like yeah, but like the bed. But like, I need my space, I
need to wind down, I need to sleep because being tired also

(31:38):
doesn't help with emotions. Yeah, I do not believe in just
staying up all fucking night fighting just to.
It makes no sense. Let's stay up super late, let's
deprive ourselves from sleep, let's make ourselves even more
stressed out for tomorrow. Let's feel extra guilty for
staying up super fucking late. And the whole goal of us staying
up late and continuing to bickeris to smile and go to bed happy

(32:02):
at the end of it. What the fuck?
I just see no point in it. I've heard so many of those
corny ass fucking speeches that are just like, it's always like
and just don't go to bed mad andjust go to bed happy.
It's like sometimes you fucking can't just wake up and you don't
even have to get like, I'm goingto wake up and Bryn just going
to be right over me, just like you ready to.

(32:23):
Continue said Yeah. Not even skipping a beat you.
Mean by that? No.
Yeah, just like you said, revisit.
I was going to say, and maybe when we're older and like,
because I feel like this advice is always coming from old
people. Like maybe when we're older
we'll have a different thought on this.
But like for the time being, like if you are going through a
phase where you're having a lot of miscommunications with

(32:44):
someone, you are butting heads, things maybe aren't the best.
It's OK to go to bed angry. It's OK to take space away from
it. It's OK to literally just like
cut off the conversation, be like, I'm not doing this right
now and then revisit it. And obviously, if that continues
to happen and you can't get through it and you can't come to
resolutions and you can't actually be happy and feel
positive with this person, they are not the fucking person for

(33:06):
you. But if you revisit it and you
feel really, really, really fucking good, like you just took
a giant stepping stone within your relationship and you fully
understand this person more and more every single fucking day,
then it's good. Yeah, let's stay with them.
I mean like I, I really hope that answers your question.
We've had so many long nights lately.

(33:26):
We've. Had a lot of talk about.
This we've had so many talks, we've had so many arguments,
we've had so many misunderstandings,
miscommunications. We've always come to solutions
and we've made our way through it.
Was it fucking hard? Yeah.
Was it tough? Yeah.
And like, you guys don't see it because that's not good contact.
Like, you know what I mean? Like we're not just going to

(33:47):
record that. It's easier to record us being
like over the top loving each other.
It's easy to record us, you know, like on the opposite end
of the spectrum of that and everything in between.
I do also want to add in becauseI feel like we're talking about
this more than we really have inthe past.
It's been like kind of earlier this year into like a couple
months ago when it was really, really bad.

(34:07):
But now I feel like because we've had that, we have built
such strong communication between the two of us and we're
at such a good place now, honestly, because of that.
Yeah, like our fights, or not even fights, but like our
disagreements. They're fights.
We're fighting, yeah. We're not physically beating
each other out. We're not throwing it like what
the fuck? But no, like our our
disagreements and our arguments and our fights that we have now

(34:29):
are a lot shorter and a lot quicker and a lot easier to get
through because we have gone through that phase of trying to
figure out how to communicate. And sometimes the best way to
figure out how to communicate isto miscommunicate.
If you continue to have endless miscommunications with your
partner over and over and over again, and not once have you
guys put into the work to figureout why, yeah, and you just

(34:50):
continue to fight, you guys either need to really consider
that and maybe give it a shot. Or maybe you just weren't
compatible in the 1st place. Because at the end of the day,
if you're going to harbor, you know, anger or be resentful or
you know what I mean? Like if you're even feeling that
way in the 1st place, then you're not really with the right
person. Love how it's like a group hang

(35:13):
for all you guys. If you guys for all you single
moms and pops out there watchingor if you're just watching from
anywhere by yourself, like, yeah, hang out with us.
I really wish we could just likehologram people right here, you
know what I mean? That'd be cool.
That'd be so cool. We could just like cycle
through. Imagine if we could have a
hologram of like our live audience, just like right there.
Oh. My fuck or a live show.

(35:35):
I think that's what we're Oh. OK, next one.
Hey guys. Hey, I don't know if that just
cut me off. I have a little bit of a advice
seeking. Or.
Just like a question. So I'm talking this guy we met
on Bumble. I know it's not going to go
anywhere further than just like casual because he might be

(35:58):
moving to Germany. Nevertheless, my question is
because him and I did do the deed.
And then after that, he started commenting on other women.
Like he commented on this one girl in the bar, which, yeah,
she was hot, not gonna lie. And then he went to Comic Con
over the weekend and literally texted me saying that he saw

(36:21):
some nice tits and ass as he wasthere.
And like, to me, that's just disrespectful.
I know that we're not going to go any further, but I really
don't want to hear about other women.
But I want your guy just take onthis.
Am I wrong to be disrespectful, feel this way?
Is he just doing it to get a rise out of me?

(36:42):
Because I don't know. I guess I know that some guys do
that to see how you're going to react, but I just find it
disrespectful. I'm not going to comment back on
it. So what do you guys like?
Love you guys both, Thank you somuch.
Love the Kim Possible. Thing is that actually Kim
Possible? Didn't no, I love it.
So when Emma sent this to us, she had little notes with each

(37:04):
of them. And this one just said
commenting on girls. And I thought it was going to be
about like commenting on girls Instagram pictures, which
absolutely not disgusting, horrible unless they're like
friends or it's normal or whatever the fuck.
But making comments about other women to you is literally just
him farming for jealousy so thatyou feel more like almost

(37:24):
anxiously attached to him. I feel like in a way, I feel
like it's him trying to get a rise out of you so that you feel
like you need to cling to him harder.
And then on top of that, speaking from personal
experience, I'm attracted to women as well.
Mario when we're watching something take Love Island for
example, I'm going to be so straight up.

(37:45):
There was a couple of times and I was like, Jesus Christ, like
her ass is huge. Like it literally like what the
fuck talking? About I never had that thought
once watching Love Island at all.
But I would say that and Mario would be like, thank God you
said it because what the fuck? And like and then it would be
funny and like I. Yeah, when it's like glaringly
obvious that somewhat like you recognize, like I think it's

(38:09):
healthy in any relationship. It's a healthy thought of any
adult. If I looked at someone that was
very beautiful, gorgeous or sexyand literally my brain was like,
EW, ugly, repulsive, punch her in the face.
Like that would be bad. I would be in a straight jacket.
So just like. To like appreciate beauty and
that's totally fine, but it's anentirely different thing to go
to Comic Con and then text someone or call them or whatever

(38:31):
the fuck. However you're communicating be
like, I saw so much tits and ass.
They're like. Yeah, they're just a douchey
thing. Even if you're casual, that's
really rude and just inappropriate in general, but I
want to hear your thoughts on it.
Is what he's doing like beyond douchey?
You know what I mean? Yes, And I don't even think he's
trying to like win her affection.

(38:51):
I think he's kind of like offended he got rejected.
She wants to keep it casual. So he's, he's just talking to
her and he's making it like abundantly clear that he's not
interested in her anymore. And like, oh, you want to be
casual? Cool.
I'm literally going to talk to you about ass and tits.
Do I agree with that? Fuck no.

(39:13):
But that's where I think he's actually coming from because
he's insecure. Does that make sense?
It's like. No, I get, I get what you're
saying because it's like, if youguys are just hooking up and
hanging out and whatever, and like you're obviously not going
to date him because you know that he's potentially moving to
Germany, then you shouldn't be trying to catch feelings.

(39:33):
But if you also are getting offended by him talking about
this, in a sense it is your responsibility to leave.
But I also don't agree with him talking to you about that stuff
in the first place. Just reminds me of like Chris
and Hooda season finale spoilersLove Island but Long story short
there's a couple on there. They were not working out and in

(39:53):
my opinion Chris was really moving good.
He was like a little over the top.
He was a little extra. I feel like he was being a
little performative to try to make himself be the good guy
towards the end. But Long story short, he wasn't
really doing anything wrong. And they were having this date
and he carried the girl he was with, who he didn't necessarily
agree with. And there's times where I didn't

(40:14):
necessarily agree with her, but he carried her to this little
platform in a little pond, right?
There's a walkway, it goes through the water.
He was being a gentleman and he carried her to the platform and
they shared. Dinner, they broke bread.
And in that discussion, they decided that they weren't going
to be together. Right.
Yes. So at that point, they go to

(40:35):
leave the platform and she goes,can you carry me back?
Right. That's when, as a man, even
though you don't agree with her,you know what I mean, you might
even be justified. That's when you literally just
be the bigger person in the moment.
You could still be mad at her. You could, you know what I mean?
Like, you still want to be with her, but like you did carry her
over there and establish that standard that you'd be willing

(40:57):
to do that for her. Yeah.
And like, obviously, women go through way greater lengths to
look good than men. And it's just the considerate
thing to do to carry her. Yeah.
That's why I mean, just like to carry her across.
So like, the guy that you're describing in your scenario
reminds me like of something similar to that.
And I'm not saying the guy you're talking to is an
inherently bad person. I think Chris and Hooda are both

(41:20):
great people. But I feel like he's flaunting
it and showing it in your face when he could just be, you know,
just being chill about it. I do have a lot to say about
this because I in a way, feel like I was projecting a little
bit because I was telling you, Ifeel like we don't know if she's
the one who decided to make it casual.
I've been in two situation shipsyou could call them where I was

(41:42):
talking to guys and I knew that they were going to be moving
within a month or so. And I talked to them the entire
time. And I knew that for like for a
fact, we would have dated had they been staying and not
moving. But they made it very clear to
me that because they were movinglike, hey, we can still hang out
and stuff and like still do this.
But like, I don't want to start anything because I'm moving.

(42:03):
And based off the voicemail she left us, we don't know which one
of them made it casual. But I also know that those two
men that I was talking to, that we're going to be moving, we're
still very respectful to me, still treated me kindly.
If they had been talking about other women the way that that
guy's talking to her about it. He's being a sleazebag.
I don't like that guy. Like, I hate that he's doing

(42:23):
that. Yeah.
So like I, I don't think that she should be talking to him.
I understand that. Like it's still OK to talk to
people even if you're not going to continue and do long distance
because it's just not suitable for either of you.
Like if you can recognize that within yourself and you know
that you don't want to do long distance, that's completely OK.
But if you feel yourself catching feelings for this
person, knowing that they're going to move and what they're

(42:43):
doing is upsetting you, it mightjust be the best option to leave
it alone. Don't touch it.
Yeah, get rid of it. I.
Hope that answers the question. I think we yeah, I think we got
it. How we doing?
Let us know in the comments. If you got any other questions
that we're not answering, feel free to put in the comments.
There she goes, shaking that asson the floor, bumping and
grinding that pole. The way she's grinding that

(43:05):
pole. I think I'm losing control.
Get buzzed, get drunk, get crunk, get fucked up.
Hit the strip club. Don't get rubbed.
Get your dip rug. Get sucked.
Get fucked, get wasted shit. Face it, pasted, plastered.
New drink off. Get a new drink.
Hit the bathroom sink, wipe yourshoe clean.
Got a routine going? I was dehydrated till the beat
vibrated. I was revived as soon as this

(43:25):
beat is gyrated. Shake that ass for me.
Shake that ass for me. Come on girl, shake that ass for
me Shake that ass for me Oh girl, shake that ass for me.
Shake that ass for me. I get more ass than a toilet
seat. 2 to the one from the one to the three.
I like good pussy and I like good trees.
Smoke so much weed you wouldn't believe I get more ass than a

(43:47):
toilet seat. Yeah, they don't make them like
that anymore. Anyway, they do.
Actually, I feel like it's such a good time for music and
movies. Oh my God.
Just saw the trailer for Stranger Things 5.
So exciting, waited so long. I was so disgruntled.
I was like, fuck this show. I don't even care anymore.
It's been such a long time. They're all grown up now.
I watched that trailer and I waslike, I'm going to cry so God

(44:09):
damn hard. And then and then the Jason
Momoa Apple TV one, and then, I don't know, there's a lot of
good stuff coming out, a lot of good artists.
It's just a good time to be a creative to our next.
Question. I'm really excited about this
one, OK? We have no idea what this is.
OK. So this is a question for both
you guys. Love you both so much.

(44:30):
Have you ever been doing the nasty and you're trying a little
too hard to turn the wave pool on at the water park?
You fart. And if so, do you acknowledge it
or do you just, you know, keep on rolling with the punches
there? I'd love to know your take on
it. Embarrassing things happen

(44:51):
during, you know, getting into MIT.
And I just want to know what your funniest story is and how
you kind of move past it. Love you both.
I don't think either of us have ever farted with each.
Other what? Not loud or like.
Oh yeah, I've just. Like little squeakers.
I think I can. I think I just little toots.

(45:11):
Yeah, but like, not like a full like.
I have. Oh, sure.
I haven't heard it. I'm good at like, grunting along
with it. You're covering.
Watch you make the fart noise onthe count of three and I'll do
the grunt to cover it. You have to do a little softer.
It's muffled. Their blankets.
OK, OK, not super loud. You know what I mean?
OK, Did you hear it? It was very faint and in the

(45:35):
throes of passions, you know what I mean.
Well, and like, there's always the option of queefing.
You know when that thing barks back at you?
If air goes into something, thatcomes out.
Yeah, and in my brain I'm like, you know what?
I'm the reason I'm the air pump.I.
Don't think I've done that. Maybe with you?

(45:56):
With me. I haven't farted, surprisingly.
There's been so many times that I've been like on the verge of
farting and I just don't. You should just like excuse
yourself if you don't want to doit and you don't want to kill
the mood, just excuse yourself and make up a reason.
Be like, Oh my God, I just have to pee here.
So like, I don't know, just go do it somewhere else.
Is that what you do anytime you have to pee during?

(46:19):
What? There's been a couple times
you've had to go pee during is that you're?
Is that? You can go first.
That's literally just my like, oh, I just got to pee, I'm so
sorry. And then it's like whatever.
Oh my God. Thing is going on.
I'm getting bandaged up in the locker room, I'm licking my
wounds and I'm getting back out there.
You know what I'm saying? Yes, I don't care about a little
fart. I don't give a shit shit it's.

(46:41):
Not in your face I feel like. Yeah, let it roar.
Let that puppy bark. Damn, you know what I'm saying?
No, no, that's what I'm saying. Wait, I'm talking.
I was like, I don't think you want.
That I was just talking in general and I realized.
I was talking about. Like, yeah, no, no, no, not your
face. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

(47:01):
It's just Jack Sparrows staring down the Kraken.
It just hits your apples. Your what's it called?
Your Adam's apple. Yeah, Adam's apple.
Just makes it like. EW, I don't know.
You could probably jar up your farts for a pretty penny.
And The thing is, I fart so much, I could help you with, you
know, manufacturing and distribution and supply.

(47:25):
You'd probably have to fart likeone in every five jars and they
wouldn't know the difference. They'd be like, damn, this
shit's stinky. Do you remember last night when
you came to bed really late and I was asleep?
Oh yeah. And I woke up to say goodnight
to you and then I ripped 1. And literally saw the blanket go
like I'm not joking it was so bad.

(47:48):
You said I smelled that, but I didn't smell it.
It smelled so bad. You literally just moved and I
think you'd been holding it and you didn't even know.
And then you just rolled over and it was so late at night.
You just, you just let it loose.You just let it fly.
You shot your turd cannon. I do think that if one of us did
during dirty times. We just laughed.

(48:09):
I don't think either of us wouldcare at all.
No, I just keep going. Yeah.
Like laugh about it, maybe switch positions.
You think I'm worried about a fart?
Continue on. You think I'm worried about a
fart when this beautiful goddessis somehow with me?
Maybe I have a million other things to worry about.
I don't know. Maybe all the chins she's
looking up at, or the way I'm breathing like a pug, or the

(48:32):
fact that I'm out of breath, or the fact that it's already over.
I don't even have fucking time to fart, OK?
I got bigger fish to fry when I'm surviving in bed with this
goddamn sorceress, OK? So if I have time to fart, I
take that as a fucking victory, OK?
Because I was in there in the game long enough to get bloated,

(48:53):
have some belly issues, and havesome methane travel all the way
through my intestines and out myass in the throes of passion
because I'm giving her that goodlittle pee pee.
Where the fuck did that come from?
Are you? Ready for the next one?
Yeah, let's. Just move on.
Hi Ben and Mario, my name is Zoe, I'm from Australia.

(49:15):
Me and my boyfriend have been onand off for about 6 years and we
finally locked in last year about the same time as you guys.
And at the start of this year I decided to move away to go to
uni and now we live 4 hours apart and we see each other as
often as we can. But I just wanted your best tips
for long distance relationship and how you guys got through it.

(49:39):
They got DoorDash in Australia. DoorDash, I don't know, Uber Eat
and freak, DoorDash and Smash. Just the fact that you can order
whatever you want from a distance.
Do you know his address? Does he know yours?
Oh, so why isn't there flowers on the doorstep?
Oh, you're sick. You're hungry.
Where's the soup? You know what I mean?

(49:59):
Like that's when I use the most,you know, like DoorDash over all
that stuff because we were long distance and I could literally
just order you a pizza. I could, you know what I mean?
Like. Yeah.
Yeah, not everyone could do that, but.
Like not everyone has the funds to.
Do I'm just, that is 1 little thing, but you can prime
something to them pretty quick. You know what I mean?

(50:21):
Like 3 or something. Yeah, I'm just saying it's
helpful. It's very helpful in today's day
and age and obviously communicating with the Magic Box
we all have in our pockets. We, I will say we every single
night when we were doing long distance, we had a tradition of
doing Wordle and like connections and strands and the
mini crossword and all of that. And that was if we only

(50:43):
Facetimed long enough to do thatevery night, at least we did
that. Like we made sure to FaceTime
every single night. Maybe that's not what you want.
If you, I mean, every relationship obviously is
different, but like that was ourgood way of really making sure
to communicate and you would be busy throughout the day a lot
with work and not able to talk. We were also in a really, really

(51:03):
lucky position where most of thetimes when you were off work, I
was here visiting you. I don't know how far away you
guys are going to be from each other, but and, or if you could
afford it, but like to be able to see them anytime you really
can is super beneficial. I know that that's not realistic
for every long distance relationship.
So I think that like making an effort via FaceTime or just a

(51:27):
phone call or whatever it is every single night to have like
a little like moment together. I would find something in with
us. We had the Wordle and then if we
had more time then we would watch one of our many programs
and shows together and you know like over FaceTime you can sit
and watch TV at night. If we had gaming systems in the

(51:48):
capabilities to do it, I know wewould have spent a couple hours
every single night just gaming together, running duos, you
know, again, some victory royales or beating each other
off of feeding each other off ofRainbow Rd.
You know what I'm saying? Like there's so many options
nowadays and at a minimum, you can use your phone.
But congratulations on closing off.

(52:11):
And I really, really, truly believe that today's day and age
is the best time to do long distance.
If there was ever a time to do it, now's the time.
And I don't care where anybody is on this planet, if you find
the one for you, try to make it work.
Entertain it. Just do it.
You know, imagine the story like.
I will say also long distance isa really good way to work out

(52:33):
communication, which is a reallygood way.
We just talked about our communication issues that we've
had. But I think that we would have
been worse off if we hadn't had the time doing long distance to
really build a relationship where we are comfortable having
long conversations. Yeah, because a lot of time if
you're in person, it's really based on like physical, I think.
And you don't really have that time to truly get to know

(52:54):
somebody. And you, you can only
communicate via verbal. Like you can't use your physical
aspects to really like connect with this person.
And this by far when it comes tolong distance is my number one
piece of advice. OK, if you are not content on
your own, if you are Co dependent, if you need, require,

(53:21):
desire, demand someone else's attention in any way or shape or
form in order for a relationshipto work, long distance isn't for
you. And let me tell you something
close distance eventually is going to get really hard for
you. So if you're doing long distance
with someone and a they actuallywant to fucking be with you,

(53:44):
then cool beans, you're good to go.
You know what I'm saying? That's one thing you don't
really have to worry about. And if they don't reassure you
or make you feel like they really do want to be with you,
they're not checking that box. Don't tell yourself that they
are. Don't pretend that they are.
Be real, let them know. And if they don't meet it, guess
what? They don't qualify.
We're moving on from there. And secondly, relating directly

(54:04):
to that, the more content you are on your own independent self
suspicion, that is just going tomake life in general easier and
it's going to eliminate 80% of the problems that you run into
when you're doing long distance.Think about your friend, your
family member, anyone in your life, you yourself doing long
distance. Every single problem, the

(54:25):
majority of them, just them frominsecurities.
They're away and I can't see them.
I don't know where they are. They're out doing something.
It's just that feeling of helpless.
They could be doing anything. And if that's you, it ain't
going to work so that. Was me sometimes though too it.
Was. And so like if that is you maybe

(54:46):
make sure that you're with somebody who.
Reassures you. It makes you feel better about
it. Because if you are anxious and
you make those things known and they're not checking those
boxes, reassuring you, making you feel good, and then you're
not even content on your own, it's doomed to fail.
So as long as those things, and again, even if that doesn't

(55:08):
exist in your relationship rightnow or those boxes are being
checked, you could still work onthat.
There's still time, you know what I'm saying?
You don't have to, you know, go,it's over.
You're not checking my boxes. That's not what we're saying.
We're just saying like those aresome things to look out for and
those are some things that may help or not, I don't know.
OK. We have two more.
Yeah, OK. Hi, Brian.
Hi, Mario. Love the podcast I listen to it

(55:30):
every Wednesday morning on my way to work And Bryn I have been
watching you on TikTok since your be that boy with the bat.
So my question is me and my boyfriend have been together for
10 months now and have not said I love you yet.
I have known since about the onemonth point but this is his

(55:54):
first relationship and I am kindof scared to say it because I
don't want him to feel like he has to say it if he doesn't mean
it or not know what to say. I think he loves me back but
it's just scary. All of his friends and like

(56:17):
their girlfriends, I was talkingto them and they're like yeah
he's just super shy. You're probably going to have to
say it first, but I don't know what to do Should I say it or do
I just continue waiting it out and wait for him to say it?
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say just say it.

(56:40):
If you love somebody, they should doubt that.
Whether they're ready to say that back to you.
You should not have anything. Like it should not be a question
in your mind. Like, am I just saying that
because I want to hear it back, or like, is he going to feel
pressured? If you love somebody, you need
to let them know. And that I feel like that's like
a basic rule of life because it's like, not to get really

(57:02):
dark and twisted, but like, if they die, you're going to be
like, fuck, I loved them and I never even told them that I
loved them. God, what a what a mean thing to
say to someone that you love them.
You know what I mean? Like, Oh my God, imagine him
going and complaining. You know what I mean?
Like, Can you believe it? I've been with this girl for 10
months. I'm really shy.
And she told me that she loved me.

(57:22):
Yeah. And this is my first
relationship, Like, and like that sarcasm, that sarcasm.
I cannot be happier for you. This was one of my favorite
calls I think I've ever receivedbecause it sounds like all of
your friends are like, hey, we all see it.
Like, if you feel that way, we're all rooting for you.
I I just feel like, yeah, it's exactly how it sounds.
I'm just going to leave it at that.
I feel like you should say it. And guess what?

(57:44):
If he's like, I'm not really ready to say it.
I'm still thinking about it. I don't know.
This really is my first relationship.
I have overwhelming emotions foryou.
I I never felt this way towards anybody.
Is it love? I don't know.
I'm sure it is. Maybe he'll just say it back.
But like worst case scenario, he's going to say thank you.
He's going to say, Oh my gosh, Ilove that so much like that

(58:06):
makes me feel so good. No one's ever told me that
before. It might be scary, it might be
whatever, but like don't take itpersonal.
Don't take it the wrong way. You're going about it with no
malice in your heart. It's a beautiful thing.
Like let him know shout it from the rooftops.
You know, I'm again, I'm a romantic.
I, I, I love that call and let us know how it goes.
I feel. Like you took some of the words

(58:26):
out of me well because I feel like saying I love you to
someone obviously can be really scary and especially if this is
his first relationship, I can understand why it would be very
difficult for him to say it first.
Hopefully if you do tell him that you love him, which I
definitely think you should, he would just reciprocate that and
say the same thing back to you. But if he doesn't, I wouldn't
take that personal either because it can be a really
difficult for a difficult thing thing, I think for people to say

(58:50):
because there's a lot of like nuance around it.
And I, I do understand, I, I understand his side of things,
but I, I 1000% think that you should say it.
And I think that you'll get one back.
Yeah, no, I, I I really like that.
Yeah. I don't know.
That was that was adorable. That was really cute.
Well done. Let us know how it goes.
Yeah. OK.
This is the last one. OK, one.
Here we go. Hi, Brennan.

(59:13):
Mario, I just wanted to come on here.
I I just blocked my eggs on everything and for some reason
my first thought was leaving youguys a voicemail because you are
probably one of the things that brings me the most joy and I am

(59:34):
so proud of you guys. And I don't know what made me
urge, urged me to block him, butI'm protecting my peace and I'm
finally deciding to focus on myself and that he doesn't
deserve me. And I don't really have anybody
else to tell. So I thought I'd tell you guys

(59:56):
because I'm so incredibly proud of myself.
I have never once stood up for myself.
I don't do this. So I'm so proud.
We're very proud of you. Good job.
Never unblock, ever. I'm also very happy that you

(01:00:17):
wanted to share that with us. Came to the right place that
made us, I speak for the both ofus, feel so special.
Made you feel so special 1000%. Thank you for sharing with us,
we're so happy for you. Everyone in the comments, loudly
and proudly. I want people encouraging people
to tell people that they love each other and yeah, block that
X. We're proud of you, and we're
glad that you shared it here. This is the place to share it.

(01:00:39):
Yeah. I love this little community
that we're building together. I love all the last two,
honestly. No notes.
You blocked your ex. You're protecting your peace.
Good job. This is all things we've
preached about. This is all things we stand for.
Like you're doing it. Good for you.
Fuck yeah, Like I'm. Going to cut someone off and I
think that's the best way to go about things sometimes.
Trust your gut. Trust your gut.

(01:00:59):
Trust your gut. Yeah.
I don't know. It's just he doesn't make me
happy. And he's literally done nothing
right since we got together. He doesn't care.
He doesn't show any effort. I think he's talking to other
people. He just makes me feel insecure.
But oh, my God, he texted me. I don't have many girlfriends,

(01:01:20):
but I've heard that so many times.
You know what I mean? Like every time I've heard that
I'm eavesdropping that like someone says that to me or
someone tells me about a similarsituation that sounds just like
what I just did. You know what I mean?
I'm just like, oh, well, yeah, best of luck.
Like, you know what I mean? Just we just got to start being

(01:01:41):
more real with people, am I right?
Like what a what? What a great service to do to
your friend or your family member is just look at him in
the face and going, yeah, I hatethat person, you know what I
mean? Like, yeah, you should break it
off with them. Like, for sure.
Like, it sounds like nothing's going good.
And yeah, block them. Go for it.

(01:02:02):
You know what I'm saying? I feel like that's a commendable
and respectful thing to do. You know, I feel like people
need to start doing that. Be more realistic with your
friends and tell them to block their exes if their exes should
be blocked, which most exes should.
Honestly, I feel like if someone's out of your life, I
believe in like being amicable with people but like also at the
same time. When you know, you know.

(01:02:24):
They don't need access to your life.
Exactly. If you if you feel like it's the
right move, guess what it is. And if it isn't, you're not
hurting anybody. So you'll figure it out down the
line. Just I'm proud of everybody
that's tuning in, that's listening, that's watching.
What a fun fucking episode. I was going to say I had a
really good time. With this really good time I do.
