Transcript

[Drew]

Welcome to this episode of Emergency Intercom.

[Anya]

What's up?

[Drew]

I suffered from an a sickness this past week.

[Anya]

So we're literally recording this 12 hours before this episode goes up, which we have never done before. We're hoping it gets out on time. We're really hoping here.

[Drew]

I think we've done it. We've done it like, 12 hours before, but it's like, we actually wake up at 11 and do it, and it's not like 12 when we're doing it.

[Anya]

Yeah.

[Drew]

But, yeah, I've just been so sick, and I don't feel real. So we had to keep pushing it back because also yesterday I was having an existential crisis, and I didn't feel like I could sit on camera.

[Anya]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Now I'm really concerned because I sound sick. Does it make sense? Like, now I'm like, oh, this is so annoying. I sound different. And my. My job is. My job is to be a voice.

[Anya]

To the people, to sound pretty, speak to the people.

[Drew]

Do you want to tell us about your scary dream you had?

[Anya]

Yeah, I was just about to bring it up, so we. I was gonna say it yesterday, so I, like, lost it, but I'm just gonna say it was yesterday. Whatever. Whatever. It doesn't matter. Jesus Christ. But I had one.

[Drew]

Oh, my God. But why did you do that?

[Anya]

I just got pissed because these.

[Drew]

They're not even hearing them. They're not even saying anything.

[Anya]

Always got some to say, but I. I don't know how to start this because I'm normally like, oh, my dream last night. My dream last night was crazy. It was the most livid or, like, most vivid dream I've ever had. Second to the one that I've told a thousand times on this goddamn podcast of me dying over and over again. This one also has to do with me dying again. And it was crazy, basically. Like, I don't know how we got here, but I was sitting out front of, like, a church or, like, like, some religious structure. It was like a church steeple. And, like, above it was, like, the most beautiful, like, celestial event I've ever seen in my entire life. There was, like, you could see, like, every planet in the sky, and you could see, like, the sun being, like, eclipsed by, like, a moon or another planet. And I was like, what the. And there was, like, a beautiful. It was like a Renaissance painting. It was, like, the most beautiful outline of this celestial event happening above this church. And I was like, oh, I'm gonna record this. And, like, because this is the most beautiful thing I've Ever seen. So I, like, took out my phone and started, like, recording it. And almost immediately, this, like, Eastern European dude, I don't know what he was like, came by, but he. He wasn't speaking, like, English. And he came by and, like, I was recording, and I, like, put my phone really down really fast because, like, I could, like, see his face. And, like, for some reason, like, I've never been able to see someone's face like this in a dream. And it, like, really caught me off guard. And I, like. I, like, knew I was dreaming, but, like, I don't know, it was really, really weird. And I saw this dude's face, and it was, like, really, like, detailed. And I could. I could like, literally draw him right now. It was, like, so scary. And he had, like, really beady eyes, and he was just, like, really fucking creepy.

[Drew]

I just imagine what that drawing would look like if you tried to draw, like, surrealism, like, realism.

[Anya]

Yeah.

[Drew]

And, like, you giving me the paper. And it's, like, the ugliest drawing of.

[Anya]

A person I've ever seen. The worst drawing ever.

[Drew]

I can't. Like, this is an unrecognizable figure, but.

[Anya]

Yeah, so his aura was, like, craz, crazy. And, like, he just had this really sinister energy. So I, like, put my phone down really fast, and, like, he starts speaking at me, and I don't know what he's saying. And then another dude that's, like, apparently with him, like, walks behind him and, like, also is staring at me. And I'm, like, really freaked out. And then the only thing I could understand is he was like. He looks at me and he's like, do you want to be shot? And I was like. I was like, no, I don't want to be shot. And then he's, like, flashing a gun, like, by his side like this. And he's like, do you want to be shot? And I was like, no. And then I start, like, freaking out because I see the gun. And I start, like, crawling back on this, like, bench that's behind me. And then he literally shoots me in the chest right here. And I felt every, like. Like, it. It was like I had been shot before. Like, I don't know how I was able to, like, make up this pain in my head, but it was like. It started off like. It was like my chest was on fire. Like, in just in that one little spot. It was, like, really warm. And then I felt, like the blood, like, trickling down my chest. And then I fel. Like, that warmth, like, go up into my face. And in my jaw. And I was like, what the. And I started panicking and it was so real and I thought it was real life. And then I just was like, like freaking out and I was like, I just got shot. And then I woke up. And right when I woke up I like grabbed my chest and I still felt the pain in my chest when I woke up. And I was like, is this my body telling me that like I have a cancerous tumor in my lung or some. Like, I. It was so freaky. But I've never liked, woken up from a dream and still had pain from the dream in the morning. And it was like literally right here. And I was like, there's got to be some cancer in my body or something. But it was also crazy that I was like dreaming about like religious like ideals and ideologies, cuz like, whatever. It's just not like I've never done that before. But yeah, it was super smoked and super real and it freaked me the out. And like I went the entire day thinking about it because I was like, dude, what the fuck does that mean? And it was, it was like, it was painful. Like I have never been in that much pain.

[Drew]

I've never had like a physical pain, but I had a physical pain from a dream where it's like I was injured in the dream and then I woke up with the like that pain I've had, like, not pain, but like, you know, when I like, oh, I was in such distress. Like I felt like I was like, like, I don't know if you've ever cried so hard that like it felt. Feel like your body feels a certain way when you do that. Like you feel like, well, I'm a.

[Anya]

Man, so I don't cry.

[Drew]

Oh, you don't cry?

[Anya]

Yeah. Men don't cry. Boys don't cry. You ever heard the Frank Ocean? The Frank Ocean thing? Boys don't cry.

[Drew]

I, I think that was more of like, like commentary on that.

[Anya]

That Boys don't cry.

[Drew]

Yeah, no, it was, it was like, it was like an artistic take on it because I think he believes men should show up.

[Anya]

Yes. I just farted. Yeah. We have Josiah watching us today because we need to perform to like a real person. And Kai couldn't make it because he had a flat tire on his car. Yeah, Josiah has a stinky bottom. Soggy bottom.

[Drew]

Yeah, he has a really stinky bottom. He's been farting around the house. And then he also went out of his way. He was like, have you ever ordered from Simply Salad, which Josiah is the freak who just goes on Postmates, falls for those pictures, the ghost kitchens, from literally anywhere on that app and orders. And also his salad tasted like a salad I would eat in hospital while a grandparents died.

[Anya]

I was about to say some random person just made that kit, that salad in their home kitchen and just like this, and delivered it to his.

[Drew]

And he asked for apple juice, and they didn't have apple juice, so they gave him the most yellow vitamin water I've ever seen. Like, why is it that? Yeah, it's like, it's. It's opaque. Like, what's in there?

[Anya]

You know what's crazy is that I used to think those were super healthy, but they're, like, the most unhealthy drink you can drink. Like, the name is a complete fucking lie. Why? Oh, Z come to visit today. He's so good. Hi, man.

[Drew]

Little me. Because he wants food. He looked up at the camera.

[Anya]

Yeah. Come here, boy. Oh, a podcast feature. Come here m. Oh, scaredy cat.

[Drew]

But, yeah, I haven't, like, had, like, woken up with, like, a physical pain from being hurt in a dream, but I have had, like, waking up and, like, feeling an aching from crying. But that's crazy. You know what it was? It was your body pulsating because it wants a hit of a puff.

[Anya]

I know. It was. It was. I was in withdrawal. You know, it's crazy is that I'd, like, a few episodes ago, it's like, I'm done. Like, I can't smoke them anymore. Like, it's impossible to get them. Like, it's over. Like, it's finally over. And then at the DJ Pauly D party, all the photos that came out, I had a far in my hand the entire time. And all of the comments on TikTok were like, yeah, I thought he was. Yeah, fucking right. He quit. And I just had. But in.

[Drew]

You're giving somebody out there, PTSD to a family member who's like, I'm gonna stop smoking. Like, you know when kids are like, if this gets 100k, likes, my dad will stop smoking cigarettes.

[Anya]

Or like, someone needing a liver transplant and they just can't stop drinking alcohol.

[Drew]

Oh, my God. Like, mine was a little less, like, sinister, but. Yeah, right, right.

[Anya]

Yeah. But we didn't finish the boys don't cry conversation because, like, I've literally never cried in my life.

[Drew]

It's just not true.

[Anya]

Me neither. See.

[Drew]

I guess you guys are boys and not men, so should cry.

[Anya]

So much, actually. Thank you for that.

[Drew]

No, it's an artistic take, but men should Cry. Men should show their.

[Anya]

Yeah, they're bro.

[Drew]

Oh, my God.

[Anya]

If they're not men who cry, get. Men who cry are. And they're not alpha.

[Drew]

I'll just say that I am gonna be honest. I don't know. Like, when people are like, is it Sigma?

[Anya]

Smegma male. Yeah.

[Drew]

No, smegma is what comes out of my coochie when I'm eating bad discharge mail. But sigma is lower and alpha is higher.

[Anya]

No, Sigma is like, oh, I don't even fuck with that toxic masculine. Their toxic masculinity. But they're like, I don't care to be a leader. I am a natural leader. Like, I don't. I. I exude leadership qualities. And alphas, like, have to try to be leaders. But smegma males just, like, have it. Like, they're just naturally that. And, like, they don't even want it. Like, they don't want women to be all over them. Like, me. Like, I don't want it, and it's a painful thing for me to go through, and I just have to push them away.

[Drew]

You're adding an extra syllable to that word that you don't. Woman. No. You need to wow men.

[Anya]

Yeah, that's what you want to do.

[Drew]

You do not want a woman. You want to wow men.

[Anya]

Yeah.

[Drew]

You, like, choke on your tongue with that one A little bit. I was gonna say something, and I forgot. It was right before the episode started. I was like, oh, no, we need to say that on the.

[Anya]

I know this. What should I say? Man with foreskin.

[Drew]

Oh, I don't remember.

[Anya]

Uncut gym.

[Drew]

Oh, I was. This is so not funny. I was saying, like, how many people do you think made the joke post uncut gems being like, oh, let me see your uncut gem.

[Anya]

At least 100.

[Drew]

Yeah, there are. People have said that. And, like, people have said in a joking way, but being serious the way, like, some people, like, just can't flirt without, like, joking. Like, people have definitely been like, let me see your uncut gem. Can I actually see your gem? Is it uncut?

[Anya]

I wish it was uncut. Don't get me fucking started. I wish I had.

[Drew]

We don't have to open the conversation of you, like, begging the world for your foreskin.

[Anya]

Give me back my foreskin.

[Drew]

If I had it, I would chew on it and then, like, use it as, you know, those, like, plastic, like, reusable lid toppers for, like, the fridge. Yeah, I would use that.

[Anya]

I would plug the tip of my penis and fill it up and pee into it and fill it up like a balloon. Why is the amen and not a women? Can I get an a woman?

[Drew]

No. Can you get a woman?

[Anya]

Yeah, to give me top.

[Drew]

Okay. No, you're done. You're done for the day. Wait, I have to look at my notes because I'm literally like, I feel brain dead.

[Anya]

I have one. Why was selfie C the original muser, which eventually became Tick Tock, and she got destroyed. No one is talking about how bullied she was for being the OG Tick Tocker. And now all of you are doing the exact same thing as she was, but she got bullied relentlessly for it. Even I joined in on the conversation. Sometimes I don't know why I hate people. I just do because everybody else does. Not always, but, like, Nickelback, for example. Like, okay, I have no reason.

[Drew]

You were gonna say someone who we could all relate to, but you're not about to sit here and pitch the argument that there should be no reason why we, like, don't. Like.

[Anya]

Why don't you like Nickelback?

[Drew]

Because I hate their music, but their.

[Anya]

Music is not the worst music in the world.

[Drew]

Okay, keep going.

[Anya]

But, yeah, I'm just saying, like, there's some people that, like, are. Bandwagon. Bandwagon. Hated. Like, SM6, the tick tock band. Like, that's not bad. That is, like, this reminds me of Texas and begging my mom for, like, a redemption tea with the cross and the angel wings and the rhinestones all over it. And it says revenge on the back.

[Drew]

Yeah, it's just not for me. I. Okay, I will say I don't hate Nickelback. I just don't care for them.

[Anya]

Yeah, that's. And that's fair. But people online are relentless. But I saw a video not too long ago, like, an interview on a podcast with him, and he was saying, like, the reason why they're still relevant is because of the hatred that they got, which is so real. Like, all. All it was was just like. And it's also not real hatred. Like, people don't actually hate.

[Drew]

It's just like a joke. Like, they were like, the butt of the joke for so long. So it keeps you. It keeps. It keeps the conversation.

[Anya]

That's why SM6 is still around.

[Drew]

What is that?

[Anya]

That family band.

[Drew]

Oh, okay. Y' all brought that up today, and I was, like, shocked because I haven't thought about that or seen it in so long.

[Anya]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Are they still popping like that?

[Anya]

Not like what they were, but they still have a fan base and viewership. And I watched, like, probably 300 of their videos this morning from like 8am to like 11:30. Just scrolling through their feed and just like deep diving and catching up on everything they've done. They were in a to be original movie. Like, they got casted and it's like a full budget to be. It's like that free streaming service. Oh, but the budget was insane. It was like. I couldn't believe it. Who's that?

[Drew]

Oh, she's still posting.

[Anya]

She's lit.

[Drew]

She's still around.

[Anya]

We need her on the podcast to talk about that.

[Drew]

I know. Selfie C being our first guest.

[Anya]

Yeah.

[Drew]

People would be pissed. They'd be like, dude, why? Why is that the first person on? Also us acting like Josie has been on like three times.

[Anya]

Josiah is literally not a guest. Like, he's literally not. He's just a friend.

[Drew]

You're more than a guest. You're a friend.

[Anya]

You should be lucky for me to bring all those people to the podcast with. Because that would be a cast. I. I actually don't know what he said. I, Like, I was. That was actually. That freaked me the out because I was looking and I couldn't hear the words coming out of his mouth. Like, and I couldn't piece it together. Like, oh, my God. That was literally, like, horrifying. But, yeah, selfie. See, being the OG Primal. Just like, everybody jump on and hate this person for no reason.

[Drew]

Yeah. But that was also like the big trend that was like, pre. So there's before Christ and after Christ, but then there's before Taylor Swift crucification. And post Taylor Swift crucifixion. And post Taylor Swift crucifixion. We learned that to not be fooled by the trickery of men who just hate women and want to, like, sacrifice them and fucking, like, tear them down publicly. Because it's really easy as a young person to jump on. Especially if, like, someone you idolize is involved. Then you're like, yeah, that person is a bitch. Fuck her. I fucking hate her. Because we all have demonic, misogynistic ideas just drilled into our heads, and it's very easy. But before the crucifixion, not me. I get, oh, you think you're better.

[Anya]

Yeah, 100.

[Drew]

But. But you just admitted that you, like, jumped out to the selfie C. Hate hate train.

[Anya]

So I didn't say that. And you're freaking out and saying I said that, which is really up of you to say that. I would say something like that.

[Drew]

You said it. You literally just said it. We could replay it.

[Anya]

I didn't say that. I did not say that.

[Drew]

Wow. Where's my defense? Okay, yeah, you're crazy.

[Anya]

And both of y' all are ugly as.

[Drew]

That's your defense when you're caught lying is that we're ugly?

[Anya]

Yeah.

[Drew]

No. Well, you have a huge wiener.

[Anya]

All right, all right. Yes, I do. I do. I do. I really have a big schlong.

[Drew]

What I was saying is I was gonna be like, oh, now I feel like the Internet is smarter. But that's not true because women constantly are getting berated on the Internet. It's literally like a pastime for the Internet is to, like, choose one girl for everybody to make fun of, and we all fall victim to it because it's just entertaining, and it also sucks.

[Anya]

It's a tribe building technique that we haven't gotten rid of. When we were, like, villagers and we all lived in small little tribes all around and we were nomadic, we had to find one common thing to hate, so it bonded us. That's something I learned recently. Is that like. Or not learned, but, like, my mind was changed. I mean, I never thought gossip was bad, but, like, gossip is actually really healthy. Like, if you think about it, see.

[Drew]

The thing that talked about how, like, gossip between women was, like, really demonized.

[Anya]

It was demonized. But I saw this dude kind of, like, breaking down gossip, and he was just, like, saying, like, oh, it's like. It is, like, me telling you it's, like, a really good, like, connection builder. It's like me telling you, like, I would never do that to you without outwardly saying that, like, when you're gossiping about something someone did, and, like, it's also building, like, community. And just, like, it's. It's actually really healthy when you're talking shit behind people's back. So back to it.

[Drew]

I go, yeah, continue to talk about people who you claim to love, as.

[Anya]

Long as it's not to their face. Say it with me. Talk shit behind people's back as long as it's not their face and they can't hear you.

[Drew]

The thing is, like, I do agree, but I just, like, love talking. But I don't talk about people I actually love. I talk about people who I literally don't know because I am no better than anybody else on the Internet. And I'm like, this is so annoying that they did this, because I see somebody said that they did that, and then when it's turned on me, I literally want to kill myself. And I'm like, can everybody stop?

[Anya]

And then you meet them in person. You're like, damn, they're actually.

[Drew]

They're actually really cool. They're normal.

[Anya]

That has happened to you six times in the last year and a half. It's just like, you relentlessly talking shit about someone and then you meet them and you're like, damn, I actually had a real conversation with them and I, like, saw their side of things.

[Drew]

And it's like, you have to give me. Like, I remember one time we talked about this and somebody was like, I think it's so fucked up that Anya openly admits to that. Like, you want me to lie? Like, I literally talk shit. Like, I do. And, like, I know that's a fault.

[Anya]

On my part, but the fault in our stars.

[Drew]

I know that's the fault in my stars, but, like, you have to admit, I have gotten better at it. Like, I've been biting my. Like, I. That was a New Year's resolution for me, was to stop saying it, talking as much shit, or, like, inviting myself to, like, gossip. And I feel like I've been a little better at it. But that's also because I've been drowning myself in different forms of media, and I just haven't been on my phone as much. And Also, I redownloaded TikTok, but I made sure to fall on the part of TikTok that gives me absolute garbage nothingness. And I'm not on this real side. I'm on the side of TikTok where, like. Like, it's literally just random people from Buttfuck, Idaho, posting. And I'm like, I cannot believe this person has a phone. Like, this is crazy.

[Anya]

My TikTok feed has been, like, consuming, all consuming. Like, I can sit on that. It is crazy how quickly I can go from, like, no TikTok at all to watching it eight hours a day. Like, it is. It is terrifying how, like, easy it is to, like, fall back into that. And it's also crazy that, like, it's literally mind control. And it's like we're living the biggest mass psychosis event in human history, and we're all being controlled by these devices in our phones and these screens in our life. And, like, no one is ever really thinking about it or paying attention. And if you are, there's nothing you can do to break the cycle. And we're kind of just.

[Drew]

Yeah, I, like, think about that because we've literally talked about Tik Tok and how much it encapsulates your life. What was that?

[Anya]

The Beyonce thing?

[Drew]

Oh.

[Anya]

I'm not even trying. That's the thing. That's the thing about me. Is I wasn't even trying just now.

[Drew]

But when you're so saying that, are you saying that because you think it sounded good and you're like, whoa, I sound good when I'm not trying? Or you just. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Anya]

More that, right? More that than anything. Anything. But that.

[Drew]

That was crazy. You literally, like, you sounded crazy also. You, like, being unable to sit still doing that. You moved, like, 38, 000 times. Like, if someone had to motion track you, it would be, like, 38, 000 frames of where your hand.

[Anya]

You know. You know what the crazy thing is when you are singing higher notes like that? Like, your body's reaction is to, like, lift your head up, but that's actually constricting your vocal cords. I learned this in music class when I was sing. I didn't take classes. I just, like, know these things. They come naturally to me. I was teaching people. Okay. Yeah, I was teaching people. And so don't lift your head up when you're trying to sing high notes because it restricts your vocal cords. You want to, like, keep it down and open and just let it go from the gut. Like, a lot of people are singing from the head instead of the chest, and you just want to go, like, let it out. There is a thing called head voice. Should I get into it? There's, like, chest voice.

[Drew]

I mean, I. It sounds like you're pulling out of your ass that you maybe saw on TikTok, but, like, it just doesn't feel like you knew these things, like, from the beginning of your life. Like, are you trying to convince us that you just, like, naturally.

[Anya]

Actually, I just figured it out. Yeah, I just figured it out as I was going mad because Drew is letting the girls have it. And these.

[Drew]

Also. Okay, I am tired of this. No more saying things are dupes. You are buying a bootleg. You are not buying a dupe. You are not buying something that is similar. A dupe is something similar to the.

[Anya]

Thing is okay, which is okay to buy dupes and bootlegs.

[Drew]

It's okay to buy dupes and bootlegs. But also, I'm like, when I see it happening to a small company, I'm like, why are you doing that to them? Not that. A lot of the companies I see happening to are big companies. And it's like, whatever. Who cares? But, like, can we just accept that it's a bootleg? Like, a bootleg Anastasia.

[Anya]

Better hills Dupe. Anastasia. Better hills.

[Drew]

Dude, you think it's better hills?

[Anya]

Anastasia, Better hill. That's what A dupe would be.

[Drew]

Anastasia Betterhills.

[Anya]

Dude, her being found dead in her London flat. Her London flat.

[Drew]

She was found dead in her London flat. And that's why it's so upsetting. Stop buying bootlegs of her stuff because it goes to her family.

[Anya]

There have been rumors going around that I died at 15. Babes, I'm 17 and I'm still kicking.

[Drew]

Like one day you will wake up and look back and be so shameful of the fact that you were afraid of your age. It's okay. You're turning 25.

[Anya]

I'm the only 17 year old in the world to grow a beard like this.

[Drew]

Hey, I think you have to stop. Stop with the joke because you're not.

[Anya]

It's not a joke.

[Drew]

You're not 17.

[Anya]

It's not a joke.

[Drew]

Okay? I just. I mean I've known. I've known you for 10 years and you weren't seven when I met you.

[Anya]

I was six. You're right.

[Drew]

But yeah, it's not a dupe. That is a bootleg and that's okay. It's just. It's a bootleg and that's okay. But also, don't buy bootlegs from small companies because that's just mean. That little girl in the middle of Iowa selling off etsy deserves her $30.

[Anya]

Her check. Give her her check. Yeah. So what we just found out is Enya is classist and she wants people to be poor. I also came to the conclusion that scat lovers like people who love being pooped on and on.

[Drew]

Oh, I thought you meant scat like the music.

[Anya]

No, I was like, I love are. Are braver in the started from the jump. I believe scat lovers are braver than the Marines.

[Drew]

Truthfully, scat is being pooped on.

[Anya]

Yeah, like on the chain.

[Drew]

Disgusting.

[Anya]

I'm sorry, that's what I'm saying. Because everybody's knee jerk reaction is like, ew, that's fucking gross. As. But that doesn't stop them from loving being pooped on. And asking people, could you imagine asking, like, what if like when we hooked up I was like, can you poop on my chest?

[Drew]

Well, it's different between us because we just have this like, we live in our own world when we hook up where like nothing on the outside matters. So there's no social constructs of what's right and morally wrong. So like we can just do those things.

[Anya]

But like, but imagine hooking up with a stranger. That's what I'm saying. Like, imagine asking someone and being like, I like I have this, like, I have this thing. Yeah, Like, I have this thing. It's kind of weird. Like, I don't. I don't know if, like, you're in. I'm just gonna say, would. Can you poop on my chest? What would you say?

[Drew]

I would. I would crack the fuck up. If I'm being honest. I would, like, destroy that person's life because I would laugh so hard if.

[Anya]

It was someone that had, like, an Internet, like, was relevant at all. I would make fun of them. Yeah. I would spread that, like, wildflower. I wouldn't.

[Drew]

I wouldn't publicly say, but I would tell everybody.

[Anya]

I knew I would. Yeah, I would spread. Spread it like wildflower, like, cases. It's like, it's like this. Yeah.

[Drew]

I would not. Also, like, the thing is, you definitely have to be, like, seeing someone for a while before you bring that up. Or you're just like, so far in your life that you're like, I've restricted myself from having this for so long that you're meeting people on apps, and that's, like, one of the first things.

[Anya]

I was gonna say. I literally have a billion dollar idea. Million, Million dollar idea. Because I'm pretty sure there's like 64 poop lovers in the world. But we need to figure out a way to connect them via an app. What if they're not a scat lover app? And we could call it, like, literally scat. We could call it scat, and it's like. It's like Grindr, but for poop. Scatter. Yeah, literally, literally scatter. That is a thousand dollar idea. And look.

[Drew]

Yeah, that's literally worth. That's. That's worth like maybe $200, but it's more like you have to invest 200 into it. It's not like you're not making profit off of that. How do these apps make money? Oh, you have to pay for certain apps. Huh? I've just never had a. A dating app. Because I'm not some, like, like, disgusting, self loathing, loathing loser who, like, needs attention. Like, that attention just comes to me and I don't have to, like, go begging for it. I'm not just so alone and, like, decrepit and sitting in my room and I'm disgusting and I hate myself and I just need affection and I can't find it because I'm loser. Like, no, it just comes to me.

[Anya]

That's that. I agree with that fully. I would never use any of those apps.

[Drew]

I accidentally said, I'm. I'm loser. Did you like that? That was me checking the. The. The thing that was. I was, like, acting like I was left.

[Anya]

Oh, that was. That was really nice. But, yeah, like, I wouldn't do that either. Like.

[Drew]

Let me see your phone. Let me go through your phone. Look, it's simple. Let me go through your phone.

[Anya]

Okay, Here, look.

[Drew]

No, give me your phone. I don't think you're cheating on me. I'm just like. I want to go through your app store to see if you ever downloaded it, because I know you don't have it on your phone right now because we're dating. Oh, it's. Oh, my God.

[Anya]

No, that's not it.

[Drew]

That's a different three. There's three in a row.

[Anya]

Four. Wait, let me.

[Drew]

Oh, what's that?

[Anya]

What's what?

[Drew]

What's that?

[Anya]

What is the logo?

[Drew]

It's an S, and it says, like, scruff. What's that? What's that? Give me your phone. No, like, oh, my God, you're cheating on me. What is that? No, that's for. That's for the dog.

[Anya]

Yeah, you said you wanted a dog. It's Zoc talk, but for vets.

[Drew]

Oh, okay. Yeah, because I was like, scruff. Like a scruffy dog. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

[Anya]

Yeah, that's what that is.

[Drew]

Okay. I got.

[Anya]

Okay.

[Drew]

I got so scared you were cheating on me.

[Anya]

I think the world is ending. I thought I was dying. There was an earthquake the other day, and I woke up with my heart racing, and I looked up at my lamp, and it was kind of moving a little bit, and I was like, oh, it's gonna fall on me, and it's gonna break. And I wasted all of that paper.

[Drew]

Lamp, and it literally would have just landed on you.

[Anya]

I would have floated there. In the group chat, I was like, okay, your paper lamp is okay. You like, all of you.

[Drew]

Well, the. The night that the earthquake happened, it's when I had the worst sore throat. So let me explain my sickness. When I came back from New York, I had a bit of a sore throat, and then it, like, just kind of lingered off and, like, went away. No big deal. Then I think, because I just, like, was overly, like, doing things for like. Like, the week I got back. Oh, I'm boring you to death. I'm literally boring you to death. You're acting like you're dead. I hate dating you. I hate dating you. I should have listened to everybody in my life. I should have never dated you.

[Anya]

What's up?

[Drew]

You're. You know how some people say you're the best mistake I ever made. You're the worst mistake I ever made. You were the best.

[Anya]

Has Alexa Demi or Sydney Sweeney said that in Euphoria before? No. That is literally a line they would say.

[Drew]

It's literally the worst mistake I ever made. I hate every day I wake up and I look at myself and part of me is missing because of fucking you.

[Anya]

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.

[Drew]

She's sorry. She's sorry. You are, like. You know how conservatives think that, like, lizard people run the country? You are literally a lizard person to me.

[Anya]

I'm not conservative, and I think lizard people around the country, you're just my little.

[Drew]

You're my little star anything things.

[Anya]

Yes. I'm a conspiracist. No, no, no, no, I'm not.

[Drew]

But I woke up. Okay. Why are you doing that? Don't do that. Don't show them all that. Oh, my.

[Anya]

Finally got it.

[Drew]

We've been hanging out too much, like, for the past, like, few years. Because I'm getting to the point where, like, I keep seeing you and I want to grab you inappropriately. Because it'd be funny to me.

[Anya]

No, it. Cuz it is funny.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Anya]

I've been recently, like, wanting to get butt ass naked and bend over and spread my ass cheeks so y' all look at my butthole in the eye. But I won't do that to you guys. But I have been walking around with my hairy ass out for the past couple days. Yeah. My whispering eye.

[Drew]

Yeah. I was in the bathroom and Josie and Drew were knocking on the door last night, and they were like, come out, Come out.

[Anya]

Come out.

[Drew]

Wait. Come out.

[Anya]

Actually, we got it on video.

[Drew]

And when I came out, it was just Drew's bare ass. And literally, like. I don't even think I had a reaction.

[Anya]

No. At this point, it's.

[Drew]

Yeah, it didn't mean anything to me. Oh. And then the other day, we were laughing. The other day, we were laying in bed and Drew was showing me something. His pinky landed on my boob. He went like this. It, like, landed on it. And he didn't want to make a big deal away.

[Anya]

And I thought I was so slick.

[Drew]

So slowly, as if, like. Like when you're, like, sneaking around and you're like.

[Anya]

I thought I was being so slick, too. And I was like, okay, we're just gonna act like that didn't happen. But no. And he was like, were you fucking grabbing my tit, touching my boobs and shit?

[Drew]

That's why everybody who, like, mimics me gives Me a voice like that? What's up with that? They. They give me like a deep like, like huckleberry thin ass voice.

[Anya]

Oh, can you help me put my tampon in? Remember?

[Drew]

I. What? Okay. I woke up with the worst sore throat of my life. Literally. I've never felt a sore throat like that. And I've had sore throat like pretty often or like enough times that I feel like I've had the worst of it. But it was so bad that I woke up and I actually felt like I was choking and I had woken up to the earthquake and I thought I was making it up in my head and then I just like got up and got water and I just ignored it.

[Anya]

Remember when I said something big is coming? Yeah. Remember when I said that?

[Drew]

I thought you were talking about you.

[Anya]

Oh my God. Wait, we literally did say that to Sabrina when I was like, like, oh, like something big is coming. And I was like, oh, it's earthquake weather. Do you remember that? And she was like, oh my God, is that like for real?

[Drew]

And she got really excited.

[Anya]

She's like, wait, you can predict earthquakes? And I was like, no, like, you can't do that.

[Drew]

Drew tricked our friend who doesn't live here that we would be able to like, know if an earthquake is coming. And she believed it cuz she's like, from Miami.

[Anya]

It's also crazy that I predicted that.

[Drew]

Wow.

[Anya]

It is interesting that like, I'm able to just like kind of peer into the future. Lift. Lift the veil a little bit and just see what's like going on behind the scenes. Oh my God. That's something that I've been doing recently is like. It sounds schizoaffective but like I've been able to like see behind the veil a little bit. Like, and it's been fucking me up. Like it's literally been. Oh my God. Have you ever heard of like, what's it called? Shifting?

[Drew]

I am losing you by the day. Like by the day. I think I need to start supervising what you look at on your phone. Like you're 15.

[Anya]

Like, have you heard of shifting?

[Drew]

No.

[Anya]

It's like this thing that people do where they like shift into a different reality with their like they. And they build a whole other life in the reality. And I've gotten on shifting TikTok and it is the craziest shit I've ever seen.

[Drew]

Yeah, I need to take your phone away from you. We need to like, limit your screen time.

[Anya]

Oh, we really do. Like, we actually.

[Drew]

You've been going down like rabbit Holes that I don't know about. And I'm like, how did you get there? Josie looks awful right now.

[Anya]

Oh, my God.

[Drew]

But you know what? I do agree with you. I feel like I have seen behind the veil, but in, like, a crazy way, because on my birthday, guys, it was my birthday.

[Anya]

I know.

[Drew]

Don't even talk to me about it. I will.

[Anya]

We almost made it all the way through without you crying on your birthday this year. But it was a happy cry this year.

[Drew]

Yeah, but I. I'd been crying all week alone in silence.

[Anya]

Yikes. Just keep. Keep that weird sad to yourself.

[Drew]

Sunday fun day. Let's leave it at that. I don't even want to say if, God forbid, it gets left on camera. I'll tell you after.

[Anya]

Damn.

[Drew]

Yeah, yeah. Just, you know.

[Anya]

My God.

[Drew]

But yeah, you know, it's just a fun time of my life, but. Oh. Oh, my God. Why'd you constrict my finger?

[Anya]

Let's turn to pull it over to me, but keep going.

[Drew]

But on my birthday, I got so high. And also, I. I know I've been talking about, like, drinking and, like, getting high a lot on the podcast, which is, like, a stark, like, difference from the beginning, but I am going on a break also, Like, I do want to clarify. Like, it's not a problem. Like, I'm not getting, like, blacked out, and it's literally, like, it's not that bad, but. But. But I am going on a sober streak because I just got really sick and I was thinking about it and just contemplating my usage, and I've just been really bored. So then I'll accept any chance to go out and get a drink, but I'm gonna go on a sober streak because it will make me feel really good and I will feel way healthier. And it's kind of like a tolerance break, but it's not really, because what, like, I'm stretching my tolerance from, like, 5 milligrams of weed till, like, back to, like, being able to get high as. Fuck off. One milligram. But I got so high. And you know what was freaking me out is because, like, I haven't even, like, explained this in detail, but my gorgeous friends took me to a gorgeous dinner, and it was super sweet. I got all dressed up. It was very nice.

[Anya]

I paid for it.

[Drew]

Okay.

[Anya]

Yeah, it was $960 and I paid for it. Oh, my God. You literally didn't pay me back.

[Drew]

I also didn't pay you for the cleaners or something else. Or something else. I had to pay.

[Anya]

Oh, My God, I'm literally just everyone's punching bag. Everybody uses me for my financial literacy. It's like, oh, my God, Drew. Drew, can you pay for this? Drew, can you pay for that? Yeah, I'll pay for it. But if you pay me back, and then I just don't get paid back. Oh, and, oh, but it's your fault because you didn't ask for the money. No, I should have. People around me and in my life, life that want to pay me back are excited to pay me back to get that debt off their shoulders. David.

[Drew]

Yeah, yeah, my David.

[Anya]

Do remember, you almost killed me as well.

[Drew]

Yeah, I'll never forget that. It's bad, but that's for another time.

[Anya]

No, we shouldn't get into that.

[Drew]

No, you're going to be done if we get into that. Well, I think what happened was we were at dinner and, like, I didn't really want to drink because, again, like, I was like, I'm so over having drinks. And the drinks at the restaurant weren't really sitting right with me. My palate. So I was like, whatever, I'll just have an edible. Like, Orion has edibles. I'll just take one off of her. Orion has a way higher tolerance than me, but I just didn't think anything of it. Usually if I have a drink and I get high after, like, I will never get too high. It's just, like, balance it out for me. That's not what happened. I took half of this edible. I might have even taken less than half, which was less than 5 milligrams. And I think what happened was, was I fully forgot I took it. And when we were getting up to leave, we're, like, walking around and stuff, and before I know it, I'm sitting in the passenger seat of the car with the worst cotton mouth of my life. And I was like.

[Anya]

And we passed all the gas stations.

[Drew]

In mountains, because I just felt bad because I didn't want us to have to stop. Because, like, I was just like, whatever, I'll hold out, but I had the worst car mouth ever. And then Orion played the song that made me really think about the people in my life. Life. And then it just, like, set me into, like, I'm not kidding. Like, I genuinely do not believe I'm somebody who needs to take shrooms. Because if this is how intense I can feel emotionally off of just being high off of weed, I do not believe that. True. I think shrooms would push me too far and I would have a break because I get so I. I was Just so overwhelmed. It was dry. It was, like, actually insane. Like, I was literally thinking about my whole life that. And, like, what it means for me to be alive and what my connections to everybody I know means. And all, like, the love I have and, like, all these things that I was just feeling so overwhelmed that I started sobbing. And then it started freaking me out because I was like, oh, I am so high right now that I, like, can't control how much I'm crying. And then I was with all my closest friends in the world, and I was just, like, so happy. But then it got to the point where we were sitting on the couch, and I was, like, literally freaking out, looking at all of you.

[Anya]

Well, it was because we were watching RuPaul's Drag Race, and I think that's the most dangerous show you can watch on weed. Like, also, I think hallucinogens and weed are the devil. I've made that decision also.

[Drew]

You know what didn't help is I saw a video someone talking about weed, and especially when you consume it rather than smoke it, how it has. It releases the same chemical compounds as a psychedelic into your system. And for a lot of people, it will act as a psychedelic. And I have been thinking about that a lot recently, because every time I get high, I literally. I'm like, oh, this is has to be what shrooms are. And I know people who, like, love shrooms are gonna be, like, it's nowhere close. I don't care for me, bada bing, bada boom. Like, same thing, doesn't make a difference. But that was also in my head, and then that was freaking me out because I was like, oh, my God. Did I accidentally just take, like. Did I accidentally just get, like, super high, like, on a psychedelic on my birthday? Like, what's happening? And I was just thinking so much.

[Anya]

I did put PCP into your dream.

[Drew]

Oh, my God. That. That's. That's what did it.

[Anya]

Yeah, that had to happen.

[Drew]

What?

[Anya]

This woman in the gift shop at this restaurant.

[Drew]

Oh, yeah.

[Anya]

Was like, she had such good vibes. She was going around, hitting all the wind chimes, and which. That there. There was, like, a frequency of sound that I've literally never felt in my life. It was more of, like, a feeling than a sound. And it was the most beautiful thing ever. And I was like, oh, I want to buy that giant ass wind chime. It was, like, $50,000. Not actually, but it was really expensive. But anyways, she had good vibes. And then she was with her husband, I'm assuming, and Right when I walked in, they were all staring at me. And I was like, this is like really weird. Like, why is everybody looking at me? And I was like, do I have something on my face? Like, I guess it is weird that I'm at this restaurant and I'm looking the way I am. Like, this is a nice restaurant. Whatever. I didn't think too much of it. I was really insecure though. And then like he. Everyone started like smiling and like smirking at me. And I was like, am I in a nightmare? Like literally what is happening right now? Like, why is everyone laughing at me? Me? And then like I walk past this guy and he's like really like, like laughing under his breath looking at me. And then his wife walks back over to him and like I make like a round around and they're just like following me on the entire, entire time. And I'm like, actually, what is happening? And then right before I leave, like the wife picks up a book of Jesus Christ and was like, this is you. This is literally you. And she like points it and I have a picture of the picture.

[Drew]

Oh yeah, I want to see it so bad. Cuz I don't think I saw it.

[Anya]

But yeah, I. She said I looked like Jesus Christ. And I. In, in her defense, I literally did because my hair looked like that.

[Drew]

Oh, for real?

[Anya]

But yeah, that was my story. Really grasp me at straws here. For me, I don't think we have mold poisoning anymore. I think we have like carbon monoxide poisoning or like a little gas leak in the house.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Anya]

Somewhere there's gotta be a gas leak somewhere. Whether it's the boiler room or like, like the AC is just pumping gas into our house or something.

[Drew]

Or we just need to forfeit and finally go on medication.

[Anya]

No.

[Drew]

To normalize.

[Anya]

Absolutely not. Absolutely not.

[Drew]

Yeah, right, right. I agree.

[Anya]

I will not take normal pills.

[Drew]

Normal shouldn't be in the dictionary.

[Anya]

You know what the new word in the Webster dictionary dictionary is goblin mode. And I'm literally not lying.

[Drew]

That's so sad.

[Anya]

They added it and it's, it's goblin mode. And it means to be. What do you think it means? What do you think?

[Drew]

I don't know, cuz I've never heard.

[Anya]

Term like how just off the top.

[Drew]

Like just like when people are like, oh, I'm on demon mode. Like I'm doing like naughty things.

[Anya]

That's what I thought. But it's literally the exact opposite. It's like being like a slob and like lazy and like that. Like how many times have You.

[Drew]

Who says that?

[Anya]

Literally no one. I've literally never heard it once.

[Drew]

I guess a part of me is annoyed at things like that being added to the dictionary, but, like, they're going to have to be able to deconstruct what the fuck we were talking about in 40 years when they look back at everything we were saying, and the people are not going to have any context clues of why the fuck we sound like this, because we sound like idiots. And I really want to stop saying like as much because I hear myself talk all the time. We always listen to the episodes. I'm always listening to myself say like, but I just don't know how to not do that because I speak so fast. So I guess what I have to do is have pauses.

[Anya]

There's like a buffer there that. The word like is like, a buffer for you.

[Drew]

Yeah, it's. It's funny. Fully is. But I'm gonna attempt to not do it as much. Although I think I did it quite a lot in this episode because the. When I was talking about the birthday thing, I think I said, like, probably 8, 000 times.

[Anya]

Yeah, right, right.

[Drew]

I think we should replace it with. Right, right.

[Anya]

Yeah. I don't know why I say like all the time. Like, I want to, like, literally know why it's in my vocabulary. Because, like, oh, literally, there it is.

[Drew]

It fully is just a buffer because I feel like. But see, using it in that context, it makes sense. I feel like most people who don't say like as much say. Because I've been paying attention a lot to how people who are just talking constantly speak. And they'll usually go, but that's what I was thinking. And. And they'll say a bunch.

[Anya]

And like is for the quicker, quicker speakers. Yeah, I. Oh, I just said. And, like, I was really insecure by. In the beginning of the podcast, but then I got over it because I don't give a fuck what people think about me.

[Drew]

Also, people are really quick to point out saying, like, a bunch, but. But listen to yourself. You just don't realize you do it because you're not being recorded and there is no video evidence of you doing it. But I feel like it's so common, especially within younger people. Although I get really, like, upset with myself when I watch people who I kind of look up to speak for a long period of time and they don't say like. And it makes me really sad because I'm. I'm at a loss for words.

[Anya]

You're at a lake of words. Something has shifted in this space, not, I'm not pointing it out as Josiah, but like something has shifted in the last like 10 minutes. Do you feel that?

[Drew]

Yeah, this has just been a hard episode because I have nothing to give the world because I. Oh my God. We were at a meeting yesterday and I was freaking the out.

[Anya]

It was the most schizophrenic I've ever seen any of my entire life. And I, I was like, no, please turn it on. Just turn on normal person, please.

[Drew]

I couldn't do it. You know what also doesn't help is we are with our manager who at this point I feel so comfortable around that I don't have to put on my fake business hat and act like I know what the fuck I'm doing at any point. So that didn't help. But also because I am just so fucking congested in the head right now, now I can't hear as well, if that makes sense. I just am suffering from like congestion all around and brain fog. And we were at this restaurant yesterday and it was like full of like exactly what people make fun of LA for when you know, when people are like, oh LA is so like this. And then normal people will be like, that is not what LA is. LA has all of this and rarely are we in the situation where, where it's very recognizable. All the transplants are in a room, us included. And I'm just looking around and I'm thinking about it's just freaking me out and I'm like, what are we doing here? Why are we here? And then that was freaking me out. And then I'm like getting questioned about like my career and what I want to do with my life and I was just freaking the fck out cuz I could also barely hear people so I couldn't be as witty because I literally like I already have a hard time listening because I'm always waiting for my turn to talk, talk, but now I really couldn't hear. So people were talking to me and like making jokes to me and I was just like.

[Anya]

Dude, that area just has the worst vibes possible.

[Drew]

It's the scariest.

[Anya]

We also just had such like a weird day yesterday. Like we, we experienced something we've never experienced before early into the day and then we had to go have an in person meeting which is something we haven't done in so long and meet new people and like, like it is like just weird industry that like yeah, I don't know that like I don't know, I don't know how to navigate it.

[Drew]

Industry day.

[Anya]

Yeah. I've been shifting recently into my alternate reality.

[Drew]

Oh, this whole episode?

[Anya]

Yeah. I have, like, a. Like, anytime you see me staring off into the distance, I'm shifting into a different realm. And it's me with my family of five years.

[Drew]

Oh, yeah. Oh, it's like. You built a family.

[Anya]

No, I'm. It's a distant, like, future. So I built, like, I literally, like, like, made them. Like, I didn't, like, have sex with someone and make babies. Like, just like, like, put it together.

[Drew]

Oh, okay. Yeah.

[Anya]

Like, you know the scene from Robots where they build their child?

[Drew]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Anya]

And they forget the penis. That's kind of what I have going on in my world.

[Drew]

All right, well, thank you guys so much for watching this episode. Super awesome, girl.

[Anya]

We got to do media.

[Drew]

Oh, yeah. Sweet. Wow. Thank you, Josie. My media of the week is Saturday morning DO by Ernest Hood. I like to be with you in the sun. Bridget St. John by the time I get to Phoenix. Glenn Campbell and me, Mayor Venganza Lindia. That's my. And tonight. Tonight by the Smashing Pumpkins. That's my media. Oh. And then my movie is. We watched Bottle Rocket, and it was awesome.

[Anya]

Bottle Rocket was sick. It was so inspiring, too, to, like. Like, Josh was explaining how it was created, and, like, he just ran it. Was it Bill Murray? He ran into Bill Murray, Wes Anderson, and was like, they, like, kind of really got along. And he was talking about this movie he needed to be made. And Bill Murray literally gave him, like, a blank check for this movie and was like, how much money do you need to make this movie? And he was like, $80,000. So they made bottle rocket on $80,000. And it's good proof that you don't need a lot of money to make good movies, which, like, I never thought that. But, like, you do need some money. But also, it was crazy because, like, the entire time I was like, this place is so familiar where they're filming. Like, it looks so familiar. And they filmed a lot of the movie, like, 30min. Hometown in Texas, which I thought was, like, insane. Really, really green out. And then just we deep dived on all of them, like, all the characters in the movie.

[Drew]

But to be fair, that is equivalent to 150k today.

[Anya]

Word.

[Drew]

So it's quite a lot of money.

[Anya]

Mine is Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve. Erase, Sl, Rewind the Cardigans. Hey, I've kind of been on a Cure the Cure binge recently.

[Drew]

Oh, that's awesome. I don't. I've never really Listened to the Cure.

[Anya]

Like that same I have by proxy. Like we've all heard every song they've ever made. But Friday I'm In Love by the Cure is really cute. I've just been like in Porcelain by Moby. Like Josh described it perfectly. It's. It's like, like at the end of a movie, a song plays and it's like the happiest song ever because they like won. They like did the thing they were trying to do or they got the person they were trying to get, like whatever it ends up being. And it's just like, like celebration music kind of. And that's kind of been my vibe. It's just really happy music.

[Drew]

This playlist is so that although it's a. It's like a playlist. Somebody made me.

[Anya]

Oh my God.

[Drew]

Where is is it. But this is full of all of that sweet. All of these are that vibe. All of these songs are so like, remember what us listening to this.

[Anya]

Uhuh. Oh my God.

[Drew]

We've talked about it. But literally all of the songs on this playlist are so like that. Like we did it.

[Anya]

I was thinking about doing that the other day driving home after doing our first and only self tape ever.

[Drew]

And that was our first and only one together.

[Anya]

And being like in the car ride home, being like, wow, we got the role. We're gonna be famous movie stars.

[Drew]

Wait, why did I just get the part? Also Somebody else's guy by Jocelyn Brown.

[Anya]

In what movie? What movie should I say? Let me check the old letterbox. How the did y' all find our letterbox? And like how the did y' all find our letterbox? Like we haven't mentioned them by name 26 times.

[Drew]

I just don't think I've said the name of the letterbox more than once. I have to stand up. Sorry.

[Anya]

How the do I get to my. There we go.

[Drew]

You watched me spit, you nasty boy. Josiah watched me spit.

[Anya]

I have media as well.

[Drew]

Okay, let's hear it.

[Anya]

Let's hear it, babes. My movie is Parasite. My song is the Star Spangled.

[Drew]

I'm looking at your nasty ass feet underneath.

[Anya]

I know his toes. A check by Jocelyn Hernandez from Jocelyn. Okay, respect, Respect. And Parasite actually is because I watched Triangle of Sadness and I was like, yeah, it's all right, babe. Like I saw Parasite. Triangle of Sadness is a masterpiece.

[Drew]

I won't let you put Triangle Sadness down like that. Such a good movie.

[Anya]

Finding out that the girl at the end or not at the end, but the girl is dead. She died before the movie was released changes the entire ending of the movie. Yeah. Really? Yeah. She slayed out for that role. Okay, well, that was the episode. It's crazy how last week everyone was like, I think this is the best episode they've ever done.

[Drew]

Like, now this week is going to be the worst episode.

[Anya]

Yeah, easily. Easily the worst episode we've ever done. Something was wrong.

[Drew]

Well, I'm really sorry. Sick.

[Anya]

Yeah. No, I feel crazy right now. I feel off.

[Drew]

And Josiah's here, so it's like.

[Anya]

It's because we don't have Kai.

[Drew]

Okay.

[Anya]

I don't know about all that.

[Drew]

Yeah. All right, bye.

[Anya]

Literally not. I thought I was, like, on the wire.

[Drew]

Ram.
