Really, what's the
most craziest customer you had?
Oh, I, something that justpopped.
Like you remember this supervivid.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
This one passenger.
This actually happened recently.
This one passenger called methe C word.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
For a letter Yep With
a vowel after the C.
Yep Got you Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
N-T.
You know, you know?
Speaker 1 (03:34):

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Ew Okay, I know.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, so I mean it
was.
There was a storm that happened.
We, yeah, so I mean it was.
There was a storm that happened.
We had a lot of delays,diversions, okay, a flight came
in that was supposed to go toMaui, came to Honolulu and they
were waiting for their stroller,but it was irregular operations
and so we didn't have a teamready like to.
You know, we weren't expectingthis plane to come in and the
(04:04):
passenger just was gettingfrustrated and didn't want to
wait for his stroller anymore.
Actually, no, it was a car seat, so they weren't even going to
use it through the terminal.
So I don't understand what hisbig because I was.
I offered let's bring it tobaggage.
You're going to have to go downthere anyways.
It just makes it easier for you.
He just got kept gettingfrustrated and it?
It just makes it easier for you.
(04:25):
Yeah, he just kept gettingfrustrated and it was all my
fault that that plane gotdiverted.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So then he just
popped off and called me the C
word.
He used the C word.
Was he like English, or was heAustralian?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Oh no, he was very
much English, American.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Oh really, mm-hmm See
, because across the pond they
use that word very looselyreally, yeah, they do actually.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Oh, interesting, now
you know.
Yeah, I wouldn't give him thatbenefit, okay, yeah but he was
just.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
He was an american
guy that just used that c word
yeah, he was a real dick himself.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
How hard was it for
you to maintain your composure
at that time well, that wasactually after I've walked away
from him twice and I came backand was like I'm so sorry, but
you know they're working on it,but I'm happy to have everything
brought to you baggage servicefor you, to make it easier for
you and he didn't want to hearit and um, so, yeah, by the time
(05:21):
I came back to him to give hima complaints card.
I'm like here, here you go,write in your experience.
And then, yeah, it happened.
And I just looked at him and Iwas like you know what?
I hope you have the day thatyou deserve after this.
Oh, you actually said that.
I said that to him.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Wow, what do you
think was going on in his mind
when he heard that comment?
He probably wanted to to likego off even more, but I walked
away.
Could it have been?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
a viral moment, like
if, like, say, if there were
other people around.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Well, there were
other people around, but yeah,
it probably could have been oh,I would have been like oh, I
have the girl that just mouthoff on some customer like I know
my shit right now leave them.
I'm a male dude girl.
That's crazy.
Um, all the times that I'vetraveled, I've never had a
problem like I.
I still be dumb, though,because I still don't know how
(06:09):
to use the kiosk sometimes, or Istill don't know which ticket
goes on the bag, which sticker.
You feel me I'd be stupid likethat yeah, no, because it's okay
.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
The bag tags are
different, I think, at every
kiosk at every airport.
So that's okay, we'll let thatone go.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, cool, but, um,
I do be pulling out my ID to the
person and I'm like yes, ma'am,yes, sir, that's perfect.

Who's a girl?
Speaker 2 (07:06):

That's politically correct.
Yes, you're a team, okay?
Um, I've listened to your shit.
You guys are.
You're fucking hilarious, right?
And?
Um, thanks, we think we'refunny oh no, y'all, y'all funny
I if I think y'all's funny,other people will think you're
funny.
Um, I love the hijinks thaty'all be going into coming into,
especially when you tell youruh, your swipe stories, your,
(07:33):
your men's stories.
I think it's hilarious becauseI haven't, um, I haven't dabbled
in that in like so long, youknow, because I've been married
for x amount of years now yeahbut hearing other people's
stories of how dating is nowdude, I'm just like fuck.
I'm so lucky that I it's a hardworld out.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
There is it.
It is not for the week at all.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Give me an example.
So you're the girl, the guy'slooking at you, you guys match.
Uh what?
What happens after you guysmatch?
Is there a text text?
Is there a call?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So usually, so when
you match like, you both
mutually have to like each other.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Okay, okay, so like.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I could be swiping
and I could be X-ing everybody
out, because normally I do.
But every now and then there'sa diamond in the rough and I'm
like, oh okay, I like that, andthen it'll notify you if they've
already seen your profile andliked you.
So if I like the guy back,it'll immediately match and
it'll tell you.
And then you can start aconversation on the app itself
(08:30):
oh, the app.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
So no, calling your
number doesn't get posted out.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
No, no, it's up to
you if you want to give out your
number, your like instagram,your whatever communication
preference you want to have oh,wow see, I'm learning these
things cool or you can stay onthe app, but I always get weird
about that.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I don't know why.
What do you mean?
You stay on the app like you.
You were texting via.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, yeah, you can
like stay on the app if you want
to.
Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Interesting.
Have you had had females swipedon you?
No, because so I have apreference Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I only see guys on
that side.
But you can have it where youcan see both or you can only see
girls.
Like they make it very genderneutral friendly these.
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, that's cool I
was always, always wondered that
because you know, like you know, how women are aggressive now
and they would try, they wouldtry to turn a straight woman
sideways right instantly so Iwas like it has happened or,
wait, it has been attempted atme Okay, not accomplished.
No.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Okay, okay.
I have my reasons, okay Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
So you do this and
the third, and then how does the
oh, is it falling?
I'm sorry, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Ah, it's okay,
Gravity is strong over here no,
it is like fuck god damn.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Well, I guess we're
on jupiter or some shit
mercury's drinking the gatorade.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I know right, god
damn.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Uh, fuck, I lost my
train of thought.
Okay, okay, the meetup.
Now you guys are texting or youguys are texting on the app.
Um, how does the meetup happen?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
so that's my issue is
that the guys that I match with
I'll like talk to them, like onthe app or like I'll get their
Instagram or something and we'llcontinue to talk, but then I'm
like who's supposed to be theone to initiate the like let's
grab a drink or let's go out todinner, kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, that's what I
would think too, oh but, it's
you.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
No, like I do.
But then something fallsthrough or they're not very
taken like initiative on thatkind of shit, and so I'm I just
get frustrated.
I'm like I don't, I'm 30, Idon't want a pen pal, I want
like someone to date and likemeet in person, because like
it's easy to meet people online.
Yeah, and then I'm I just don'tknow.
I don't know why I have not hada successful date off of the
(10:47):
apps so 2025 came around.
I'm like my out dating appshave you met someone organically
yet?
Speaker 1 (10:53):

correct restrictive superrestrictive and and if there's
like room on there, but it wouldgo.
It won't go to your like localairline or whatever.

certain hours where no one'ssupposed to be in there.
Speaker 2 (15:05):

growing up yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
It's just like oh,
it's TV dinner night because
it's basketball.

I was their brother too.
Yeah, we were for the boys oh,oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
So he tried before
y'all moved in.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So there was a
friendship there yes and then
y'all okay, yeah, huh,interesting and they knew each
other, growing up like they grewup in um Temecula, california
oh wow together and then theyboth moved out here separately
and then they found each other,I think at like a bar uh-huh and
regrouped, and then we, justall three of us, just decided to
(20:56):
live together how did you knowthem?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
were you guys go to
school together, or was it?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
one of them.
I met them through friends also.
Oh really, it was like hey letmove in.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
So are you living
alone now?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yes, I've been living
alone for the last like three
years now.
How do you like it?
I love it.
Oh, my gosh right oh my God,after living with two boys.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Were they dirty.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yes and no.
Like they were dirty.
And in our last house, the onethat we moved out and like kind
of all separated they were, theyhad the upstairs.
The upstairs was two bedroomsand a bathroom, and then the
downstairs was another bedroom,the like more public bathroom,
and then the kitchen living area.
So I had the.
Yeah, I had the downstairs.
(21:37):
I had to fight for it but I waslike yo, it just makes the most
sense.
Yeah, and I shared a bathroomwith one of the guys at one of
our other houses and I was likeI'm not doing that again.
I had to clean most of the time, so it was a lot see with that.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Okay, I'm gonna back
up our guys real quick.
By ourselves we're clean, right, but collectively we are dirty
as shit yeah yeah, collectively,but like by ourselves, like,
let's say, I'm living by myselfor like I yeah, we're like I'm
clean to a certain extent, youknow.
Oh, it's the lip.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I just I want to,
just because, like you guys have
different levels of cleanliness.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so likeI get that, I can agree with
that, but yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Like deep dive clean,
yeah.
So when a girl comes into thepicture, her level of clean is
going to be a lot higher.
It goes boosted yeah, even ifyou think you're the cleanest
man, you're not.
Oh, yeah, you know what?
I agree that because my wifesays, oh, my clean is different
from your clean.
I'm like yeah, you right, likeyeah, but being in a like
military, my clean is likefucking like spot on oh yeah,
(22:40):
I've been pretty good lately.
That does make a difference yeah, it's, it's like nope, you
better Windex that motherfucker,you better mop that shit again.
You know, I see a little spot.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
As long as you
yourself, your body, is clean,
then that's always going to be agood thing.
What made your roommates dirty?
I think just like the littlethings, like they would leave
dishes in the sink for days andyou know it's just frustrating
because that's a communal space.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And so I'm like, hey,
like your dishes have been in
here, can you at least attemptto clean them or rinse them out?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
So you communicated
that.
Yes, all the time I don't girl,so you're a good communicator,
of course.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Wow, I like to think
so actually I can't stand on
that.
I like to think that I'm a goodcommunicator I've actually
grown into it, I think I used tobe a really terrible
communicator and then I thinkyou know, just after therapy and
just self-work, I think I'mpretty good at it, girl, you
take therapy are you?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
absolutely um, uh, I
started going.
Uh, my second session was likelast week oh, you're like fresh,
fresh.
Oh, I'm super fresh, Do youlike it?
You know what?
The guy, that Russ, he's prettycool, Like I like opening up to
him.
I went because one in themilitary they said I had like
(23:59):
anger issues or whatever and Ihave some like PTSD sort of
drama situation going on.
That's valid, so they're likehey uh, we want you to go to
therapy and I was like man fuckthat I'm not going.
You know like as a guy you'relike who the?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
fuck needs I don't.
I don't need to talk to nobody.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I got my feeling yeah
right exactly, I got my boy jim
, I got my my other boy, hoop,and you know what I'm saying
like I'm good, I should be good,no, but I went and he said that
I'm a, I'm a good communicatorbut there's, like you know,
these three um tiers ofcommunicating and I'm I guess
I'm like the middle one I forgotwhat the name of it was.
(24:37):
It's not passive, it's notaggressive, it's something else
and yeah so, but therapy is,it's.
It's pretty cool.
Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah, I've been doing
therapy for like a long time.
I used to have a therapist inseattle.
Why did you start going?
Well, back then I went becauseI was in like a long-term
relationship and we were kind oflike on the rocks.
He moved to portland and I wasstill in seattle, so it was
really hard for me to kind ofgauge all of that you know,
together and I was going justhaving like and I was like I
don't want to take medication.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
So I was like what's
my other alternative?
And it was therapy and I waslike, might as well try it out.
I connected with my therapistthere and he actually was the
one who encouraged me to moveout to Hawaii when I was like
thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And he was like
just'm like yo dip the fuck out.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Like it's always
going to be like explore the
world.
There's more to the rock thanyou know the rock so you can
always come back.
Like there's always the backpedal, like I know a lot of
people see that as like a youknow you don't want to ever go
backwards in life, but there'salways going to be that safety
net oh, yeah, definitely yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Like when I moved out
of my, uh, my dad's spot, I
went to I was living in dago forschool for a little bit moved
back, moved to las vegas, thatshit didn't work out moved back,
but I mean I was only at homefor like a week and some change
yeah, yeah, it's not like along-term thing.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
It's like I just need
a break to figure my shit out.
I'll get back out there Likejust throw me back in the game.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Oh, definitely.
What made you leave?
What made you pick Hawaii?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Just because I have
family out here, like extended
family out here, so I would comeout here all the time.
My ex-boyfriend from highschool, his family, would live
out here.
So we've come out together soit's a very like comfortable,
like very familiar environmentand island that I was just like.
You know, I know it's expensiveas shit, but I'm gonna be
working and I have a job withthe airline so I can travel back
(26:35):
home when I want to yeah so itmakes all those factors make it
so much easier to just like liveaway from them oh, are you
feeling to stay here?
I yeah, I see it likeindefinitely.
Everyone's like oh, are yougonna ever move back to seattle?
I was like I don't think soI've been out here for seven
years now, so I think I'm goingpretty strong.
Wow, congratulations, girl fromyou for deciding.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Oh yeah, I might stay
out here for indefinitely.
Big word I know, I know rightholy dictionary where the um
word of the day indefinitely,indefinitely, uh, oh yeah, we
got lots of time.
Um, uh, I moved out here in2018 and coming from washington

tiny, tiny ones.
I don't know okay and I don'twant to try and pronounce them,
but there's oahu, the big island, which is like hawaii island,
maui, kawai, oklokei and Lanai,okay, and then I don't know what
the eighth one is.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I've heard of.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Lanai, it's a really
small one.
It's very inclusive.
You have to kind of like beinvited to get out there.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Oh, really, yeah.
Isn't there an island like fullof rats, like that's just its
own thing?
Or am I tripping?
I don't know, okay, so when Iwas, you'll have to ask a true
local okay, when I was in maui.
Um, I would see, you know, likedown yonder I would see, uh, I
would see an island.
I was like dog, does anyonelive on an island?
And one of the locals was like,oh, no, no one ever goes to
(29:30):
that island because it's likeit's full of rats, that's like
that's the right island.
And I was like dog, is that forreal?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
and they're like,
yeah, so I don't know if they're
fucking with me with that butthat was in maui, because
there's also rabbit island outhere, like on the east side.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Rabbit island yeah,
it looks like a rabbit girl, I
thought it was like full ofrabbits it might be, I don't
know.
I don't go out there.
Well, you should.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I was literally
thinking rabbits man I wish I
had more information on that.
I'll dig diverant or I'll digdeeper into that one next time.
Oh, yeah, yeah, please I'll domy research.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, dig deeper, dig
deep in them, cheeks, please,
thank you.
Thank you, I got you appreciate, appreciate?
Uh, all right, let's go.
Let's go to these questionsthat, uh, you've been um, you've
been getting, and now also Ifiltered them so from okay to uh
to cool, all right, cool, cool,cool, cool, cool.
Um, being complacent in oneplace, do you?
(30:21):
Uh, have you ever had, like,say, the urge just to move?
Or like say, work wise, becauseyou've been working for the
airlines for a cool minute?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
yeah, for seven years
.
So when I moved out, here'swhen I started the job with
hawaiian airlines.
Okay, so what made you stick?
Um?
Just the opportunities, ohreally because, like, once you
get your foot into the door withthe airline, you have so many
like internal opportunities,like different departments you
could go into.
Yeah, so I guess I could talkabout that.
Yeah, I started off as a guestservice agent at the Honolulu
(30:52):
airport.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
That's the person in
the front with the dress.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
We don't wear dresses
.
Oh okay, the flight attendantswear dresses.
I the dress.
We don't wear dresses.
Oh okay, the flight attendantswear dresses.
I mean, I guess some of ouragents can wear skirts.
I never did, I was just pantsbecause it was more comfortable
okay, okay, okay we move a lotso it's easier to just be in
pants.
Oh, pants and sneakers got it?
Yeah, okay, always, um, but no.
So I started off as the guestservice agent, so their ticket
agents, counter agents, thebaggage agents, and then the
(31:18):
boarding agents, so the onesthat let you on the plane, but
they're not the flightattendants.
Flight attendants differentokay, yeah, that's their own
department.
And then there's ramp lineservice.
There's a lot of differentdepartments.
That makes the operations go.
But I say with guest service, Iactually worked in maui for a
few months just to get full-timeseniority and I lived commuted
(31:40):
to Maui every day for threemonths.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Wait, hold up, so you
would.
Okay, I'm going to break thisdown.
Woke up for work, got ready,went to the airport, flew to
Maui, started your shift Yep.
Finished your shift, hopped ona plane back here.
Repeat.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Mm-hmm, Wow you are
persevered.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
I know I was really
motivated really okay.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I really wanted
full-time and it was really hard
to just go from part-time tofull-time in honolulu really at
that time it was just everyonewas competing against it.
It's a lot easier for everyoneto get it now, but it's fine.
I'm a little bitter about itbecause of the shit that I had
to do to get my status.
Yeah, but yeah, so I did that.
And then I was actually workingat the airport as a guest
(32:27):
service agent here during covidand that was crazy.
We were sending planes out withlike two or three people I
remember that yeah uh for acovid uh mission, I flew out to
maui.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
We stayed in lahaina
and um, that's in the same place
, right?
I didn't want you to be likethis motherfucker, don't know
what he's I would have.
I would have stopped you okay,cool thank you, I do appreciate
you welcome, thank you miss lexum.
So I flew out there and dude usarmy people.
We were the only ones on thatplane.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Like during that
COVID thing, and I was like God
damn this shit Uh it was a crazytime to travel it was pretty
cool, like I had my own fuckingrow and everything, but again,
it's only like an hour away,yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yeah, 20 minutes.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Oh, is it 20 minutes?
Speaker 2 (33:14):
It's like a 20 minute
flight.
Yeah, basically go up, have tochug your juice and then go back
down.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
You're there already,
yeah why does this feel so much
longer?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
because of the whole
process of going through
security and waiting at yourgate, boarding the flight and
then taxiing and then takeoffslike you're really only in the
air for about like 20 taxing,huh, yeah, taxing you don't
ubering, you don't uber or wasit?
Was it lifting?
Yeah you don't do the lifting,no, so you taxi yeah, that's
what they call it when theaircraft is on the ground.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Oh, oh oh, my bad.
I thought you was talking about, like going to your spot, so
you get an uber no, that's likethe terminology for like okay.
Yeah, I'm real stupid in thisepisode today.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I'm learning you
can't say like oh, I drove to
the tarmac.
You're taxiing on the aircraftto the tarmac, the runway, and
then you take off oh, the moreyou know I know insider thoughts
I know.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Thank you, thank you
thank you you're very welcome oh
my god, you're so appreciative.
Um, okay, so after you, you didthat maui thing.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yes, and then uh
worked here at guest service for
covid and then I moved over tothe hangar to do purchasing.
So I bought aircraft parts forour planes and our mechanics to
have stored in like the supplyyeah so I did that for a few
years.
Couldn't really move up intothat department, for I don't
(34:34):
know there's drama and then Icame back to the guest service
side, but now as a manager, sokind of back to my roots, yeah
it was nice.
It was an easy transition backbecause I already knew the
operation.
So it was just now.
I'm just gaining thatmanagement experience, which is
kind of like always been a goalof mine is to be a leader okay,
okay, so um.
(34:56):

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Sometimes, you, I'll

.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
The amount of editing
we have, because we'll
literally just sit there and belike what the fuck were we just
talking about?
Oh shit and then half the timewe don't even know how to get
back to that.
We'll try and backtrack.
Yeah, Doesn't always work.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Doesn't always work
when it comes to editing of
y'all.
Y'all, um, do y'all really editor y'all just really run it
through, and then you just chopup the shit that really doesn't
make sense and then you candelete it, put in a different
section like what, how do y'alledit?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
well, so leva edits,
okay.
Yeah, so we record.
So that's why our setup'sghetto it's on my couch, but we

usb corded up to our iphones andthat's what's recording our
videos no, that's cool, I'm notknocking it.

I am definitely not
knocking it.
Don't, nope, nope, don't knowit works.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
The quality is not
terrible, no it's not dude, no
you know, and, like I said, costsavings, like we were trying.
This is just a fun hobby yeah,so we're like we're not going to
dive into it, get all thisprofessional gear yet, we'll see
where it goes.
Yeah, um, and so we record it.
And then I like airdrop myvideo to Liva and then she tries
to match it all up on hercomputer and she edits it.
(41:12):
So I don't really know muchabout her editing.
I know that it does stress herout and she will usually like
freak out about it or like ittakes her a while to do it, just
because I think she's justconstantly listening, chopping,
listening, chopping, kind ofthing yeah
Speaker 1 (41:25):
it takes a while, but
she does a really good job on
doing it it is yeah, I mean it's, I would have, uh like watching
your guys's stuff.
It's like, oh damn, did theyhire someone?
Speaker 2 (41:35):
no you know, no,
she's really good and she, yeah,
she, you know, um, she didn'trequest, but she offered to be
the one to edit it and I waslike, yeah, that's fine.
I was like I'll do the socialmedia then.
So all the reels and stuff thatI make are off of her edit.
So she edits the whole video,uploads it to youtube and
spotify and wherever else allyour podcasting sites and shit
(41:58):
yes, follow um, and then I takethat video and I just edit it
into whatever sections I want tomake for our reels for
instagram and tiktok oh, they docome out good thank you I give
you a freaking round of applauseand two snaps girl, thank you
Speaker 1 (42:15):
yes, yes, um, I'll
speak into, uh, one of the one
of these podcasters here on theisland and he said that it's
freaking time-consuming, likeclicking, clicking, clicking,
clicking, yeah, and he hates it.
So he likes the, I guess, theraw footage of you know, just to
you know, like, instead ofgoing back and forth, because
(42:36):
that's what I try to do and Iwas like, fuck this, this is too
much work, so I'm just doing itraw now like yeah yeah, so I
don't know that's just could bea.
It is time consuming yeah, tolessen her anxiety or be her
being more anxious.
Um, she could just leave it rawand just make it look nice yeah
oh, don't be complacent, uh, uh.
(42:58):
Next one is uh, is it true thata man having a masculine woman
woman is a result of theenvironment he created?
Oh, this is an intelligent oneoh yeah, that's a thinker yes,
girl, think away man, I don't,so a masculine.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
so so a man having a
masculine woman, what it turns
him feminine, I guess, or likehe's just more feminine it's a
result of the environment thathe created.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
So he let the woman
be more masculine than him and
he can't get mad if he's tryingto be masculine and the woman's
like yo man, shit your ass down,I'm the man now type of
situation.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Oh, interesting.
Okay, I don't really know thatit would fall necessarily all on
the man.
I mean it could because you,you put yourself in that
situation like you knew who shewas yeah when you started dating
and now you guys are together.
It just so happens that shejust has a strong personality.
That's fine.
Girls do that all the time.
Bad bitches unite we're gonnatalk about bad bitches too, um
(44:00):
all right, so, but I don't thinkthat, like it shouldn't
necessarily reflect on the manit'll, I think it'll only blame
he.
Should blame himself if he's,if he's trying to change the
woman because that's not who sheis.
Like you can't demasculinizeyour woman because then you're
asking her to change.
Like if you really love her,are you really gonna ask her to
change can that flip around towhere, yeah, she wants him to
(44:24):
change?
yeah, like she knew what she wasgetting into exactly, and I get
it like people will change overtime, or like, yeah, in our, in
my long-term relationship, likewe just got so comfortable and
like used to each other likethere was no growth zone is what
I, like would always refer toit as like we were stuck in our
bubble and we were in ourcomfort zone the entire time,
yeah so, and like we didn't, youknow, ask each other to change.
(44:45):
I think we just got like reallyused to each other always being
around has he ever fartedaround you?
all the time oh, okay, um and I,and you know I got comfortable.
Yeah, oh, you know, lay in bed,you fart, you like?
Lift the covers over well,that's in bed.
Speaker 1 (44:59):
I'm talking about,
like, say, you're in the kitchen
and making up something andhe's just walking and he's just
boop.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Oh yeah, why are you
going to hold it in, girl, if
you've been with someone forlike seven years?
Okay, it's weird if you don'tfart in front of them.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Okay, see, I could
understand the accident, but I
still have to go somewhere elsewith my wife.
I still got to go somewhereelse and fart.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Is that a respect
thing?
Like, are you doing that out ofrespect?
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Or are you just?
Speaker 2 (45:23):
doing that because
you feel like self-conscious and
like uncomfortable doing it.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
I think it's a
respect To me.
It's a respect thing Because Icould fart with my like, my
sisters, and you know mybrothers.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Yeah, yeah, your
family, because you're
comfortable, but I guess itcould be respecting you know.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
But with the homies
I'd be farting all kinds, but if
it's a female homie, then I'dbe walking out too.
Though.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
Okay, so more respect
.
That's classy.
Yeah, that's respectful.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
Yeah, because I mean
I don't, I mean I'll be dropping
the SBDs, don't get me wrong.
But I'd be like ooh, ooh, youknow.
But yeah, like, like the wholeloud ones, like I I have to get
out, okay, yeah like I don'teven pick my nose around her
because I think it's yeah, yeah,I don't know, is that weird as
a married person?
Like, are you able to?
Speaker 2 (46:08):
because like I guess,
like if that's just how you see
, I guess you could totally turnit into like that's just how
you respect your guys's spacetogether, that you don't want to
have her see you being allgross and oh okay, you know like
I don't let her touch mylaundry.
Oh hell no really, oh fuck yeah.
Is that an ocd thing or is that?
Just like?
I don't want you to do my work,it's, I think it's that do her
(46:29):
laundry.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
Oh no, she won't let
me.
I like doing laundry, actuallyyou do, or don't I like it?
I like it yeah yeah, but I knowyou fold your shit in the right
way, someone else does it theyfuck it up.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
You have to refold it
anyway.
So it's just like you know what.
I've always been like that tooso is that ocd?
I don't know, oh maybe it'sjust like a personality trait oh
, my therapist says I have adhd,do you undiagnosed?
Speaker 1 (46:54):
no, I'm diagnosed
adhd.
No, I feel like I'm undiagnosed.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
It's never been
brought up in my therapy.
You should ask.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
Are you still going
to therapy?
Speaker 2 (47:04):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
You should definitely
ask Just one time, Just like
you know what I was on a podcast, he asked me to ask you can you
diagnose me if I have ADHD ornot?
Speaker 2 (47:14):
Oh no for real.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
Do it please.
Okay, yeah, I will, I'll bugyou.
I'll do it please.
Okay, yeah, I will, I'll bugyou, I'll do it okay.
Cool, cool how I got.
Adhd is um funny story.
No, you know what?
It's not a funny story.
Um, I was talking to the dudeand he saw me fidget, like I was
just like.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
I was like this, but
my hands were always like this,
but I'm like this oh, so you'relike always moving yeah, and
then that's adhd, I thought thatwas just like a no, it's adhd
symptom of anxiety havinganxiety, being anxious, whatever
anxious, whatever the we'regonna use being anxious all
right okay, I'm playing, don'tbe no, but uh, he saw me doing
(47:51):
that and now I you know I'm verylike observant, so I watched
him you.
You could feel when he was likelooking at yeah yeah, and then
he was fidgeting as well.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
So he was like
picking up something.
He was like like he had abracelet on his desk.
He would pick it up and go likethis for a good I'm going to
say seven seconds, Just likelistening to me talk, and then
he would put it back down andthen he would do it again, but
with his left hand.
I was like, hmm, and then hesaw me.
He was like do you want to takean ADHD test?
(48:23):
I was like man, I ain't noretard.
What the fuck do you mean?
I took real offense to it, butI was trying to be funny at the
same time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was like no, no, no, I meant it as, like
you know, an ADHD and I, yeah,yeah, I understand what you're
saying, man, I'm not trying tobe a dick, so he did?
Speaker 2 (48:39):
I just used my humor
as a defense mechanism, right,
oh my.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
God, I'm glad you
caught that shit.
So we did.
And then he was like I haveADHD too.
And I was like sorry you'retrying to say I have it.
Yeah, just because you have it,doesn't?
Speaker 2 (48:58):
mean I.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
I have it.
And he was like how did you gofor so long without being
diagnosed?
I was like dog, I don't know.
And he asked me these questionslike do you blurt out things to
get you on track?
And I was like yeah.
And he was like do you um, whatis it?
Your attention span isn't aslike.
I was like yeah, but isn'tevery adult?
Speaker 2 (49:20):
tension span isn't as
like I was like yeah, but isn't
every adult you know?
And then she's like oh, do youuh, that not normal?
Speaker 1 (49:23):
yeah, I was like do
you fidget?
I was like, who doesn't fidget,you know?
Speaker 2 (49:26):
but I guess you sit
still like I think something's
wrong with you.
Right, yeah, right no, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
so I took these tests
and he was like, yeah, um, and
then I told him I was like, well, when it comes to me like
really focusing, I focusing, Iwrite, like, I write the info
down yeah.
And like that's how I've beenpassing my test, because I'm
really bad in school.
But if I'm like writing downwhatever the person's saying or
whatever, like I could rememberit.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
And then when it
comes to like tasks, I guess
when I get instruction, hearingit, I'm like oh, no, no, I'm
fucking stupid, but I'm a morehands-on person, so like, oh,
I'm there visual and like I needto like, jump out of adhd
really girl, maybe I'd have ittoo.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
You probably do you
know, I'm not knocking, because
like so, back to the schoolthing and writing it down.
Yeah, like.
So how I found the best studymethod for myself was I would
make a cheat sheet.
So like, yeah, if I was gonnabe cheating, I would make a
little post, like a little indexcard of all the shit that I
needed to study and remember.
I wouldn't use it, but justhaving that mentality of like,
(50:27):
oh, I'm gonna use this cheatyeah it just all went in there

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Oh, okay, okay, okay,
uh.
Speaker 2 (54:06):
English is my second
language um, yeah, so how we met
was football.
I was at buffalo wild wingswatching football.
I remember specifically I thinkit was like a sunday night game
seahawks versus sealers um, soit was the only game showing at
the bar.
I was the only girl and one ofthe only few well, like only
(54:29):
girl by herself, okay, sorry andone of the only few seahawks
fans in that sitting at the bar.
Speaker 1 (54:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
And at that time
there was a huge Steelers fan
base in that area, okay, andthey were all there and they
were just being obnoxiousSteeler fans that you guys are
Mm-hmm.
And so single girl sitting byherself watching football
Apparently that's a fast track,for, oh, let's play a game to
see how many guys can hit onthis girl.
(54:58):
And they were all Steelers fans.
And let me tell you, I at leastI so I knew the bartenders and
everyone.
There was a time I had to tellthem take this chair away from
me, I need to sit by myself.
Because they were like theywere trying to talk to me during
the game.
I'm like you need to wait for acommercial or, like you know,
injury break or some shit.
Like don't be talking to me onthird second down at all.
(55:22):
Like we have the ball shut up,you know, yeah, and they like
wouldn't leave me alone.
So I had to have the bartenderstep in and be like yo, she's
trying to be nice, but she alsojust doesn't want you around her
yeah and so then they took thechair away, so it was just me by
myself.
But this other guy came fromlike.
He was sitting with his friendsat like a far table.
(55:42):
He came over to order a drinknext to me at the bar and he was
.
He just turned to me.
He goes, you know, you lookreally familiar and I was like,
oh, what do you mean?
Speaker 1 (55:51):
like okay, I don't
really get out much.
Speaker 2 (55:54):
I was like I come
here like a lot, but I was like
I also work at the airport.
I don't know, do you fly a lot?
And he was just like no, youjust like look really familiar.
And he kept saying that and Iwas just like, okay, well, like
I didn't grow up out here so Idon't really know what you're
getting at.
Like he tried to ask like whathigh school did you go to?
And I was like oh, one inwashington.
And so, like he kept using thatline.
I'm like what the fuck doesthis guy want?
(56:15):
And so he goes are you onTikTok?
And that was back in the day,like I was posting a lot of
TikToks, and somehow it likescrolled on his For you page and
I showed up and I was just like, oh, yeah, so then we just like
small talk, like I was actuallyengaged in that because I don't

He's a good looking man too,and it was just the way that he
(56:39):
wasn't like aggressive or likeyou know anything crazy.
It was just oh, I think I I seeyou on tiktok.
And then he was like well, hewas like I know you're a
seahawks fan.
I was like I'm not a fan butlike let's make a friendly wager
.
He goes if the steelers win,I'll buy you a drink.
If the seahawks win, you buy mea drink.
If the Seahawks win, you buy mea drink.
And I was like okay, that'sfine.
And then he walked away, likethat was it.
